The case of James Harry against his daughter and hor husband, Charles Gordon, 10 rocover possession of certain notes the complainant alleged to be in their hands, because of having talien advantage of his mental decrepitude, has boen dismissed. Mr, Barry flles a long aMdavit, in whienh e stales that the suit which purported to have been brought by bim was not intended; that ne did not intend to bring any suits against the aefend- ants as his relations with thew are: cordial and friendly; that bimself sad wife had hitherto written to the defendants at their home at Portiand, Ore., t come to Lincoln 10 take care of them; that in this written request ho had promised them that if they wouid take care of him and his aged wife he would meke over to them tho notes set out in tho petition, and that in ac cordunce with his agreement he did sign and endorse the notes to klla Gordon, his daughter.

When the boom was on, three years nzo, the land was sold to Messrs, Chase, Gibson & Beardsloy, who s00n after sold it to Porter, who is a resident of Boston. It appears ‘that there wore charges of fraud never olearly definod in connection with the sale of the land, but no were made against any one Mrs, Davis, a lady real estate agent, brought suit for her commission on the sale to Gi 500, which is still peuding. Porter paid per acre for the land, a sum much greater than it was worth, and has apparented re- pented his bargain, Hence the foreclosure. State House Jottings.

The following communication speaks for itself: LiNcoLy, Neb., July 26.—I ask the privi: lege of making a correction in Tnr Bes in regard to an artiole in_circulation that men bad been discharged from the service of the B. & M. at Nebraska City for belonging to the Order of Railway Conductors. The men who were discharged at Nebraska City were not order men. There is no ill feeling be- tween the officials of the southern district and the order, and such reports seeking to do them an 1njustice are churged to the order by some one who has not the courage to tell the truth. The Order of Railway Conductors does not seek the vindication of sny one whose conduct would bring reproach” upon the calling whether he belonga to the order or not. Our order has always received the kindest possible treatmont at the hands of Superiutendont Rogers and_his _assistants, aud these efforts to bring discord between the order and its true friends are as useless as they are contemptible. A MEMBER OF THE ORDER. Unjustness of the Decedent Law. *‘Too much can not be said in condemnation of the present decedent law,” said a state official this morning, “It is an outrage in overy sense of the word. Why, it does away with the homestead in every essential thing that it implics. For instauce, a maa having lost his first wife before taking effect of this law, is left with a child and marries again, dying without offspring from the second mar- riage, the estate, both personal and real, under the provisions of the new law, would be divided equally between the child of the first marriage and the widow, excepting the homestead, which would descend to the widow in absolute title in case its appraised value did not_exceed $1,000, after deducting the amount of encumbrance on the same, and in case its value did exceed $1,000 the widow would have the absolute right 1w retain the homestead, subject to encumbrance, by pay- ing to the natural heirs ona-half of the appraised value after deducting from the same $1,000, a8 provided in th statutes. Tho value of a homestead, as a rule, does not con- 8ist in any of the values that might be appraised by disinterested parties,but lies, in @ great meusure, in fumily assoclations and the desire that' should exist in every one to perpetuate the family name and holdings. “The new law renders “this absolutely impos- sible in all cases, as above wentioned. Every mae left a widow,with cbildren on his hands, disrupts his family by a second marriage under the existing descedent law. “*And now as a further illustration of the injustice of the law. ~Wo will suppose & Mr. Adamson o have lost his wife in 185 and is left with two motheriess children. In 1889 commits the error of marrying again, and y the second wife he bas two children. He s intestate possessed of ¥30,000, and to avoid complication we will supposé him to nave been without homestead. = Under the luw the estate is divided as follows, viz.: To the wife §1,000 iu lieu of homestead, and one-third of the remaiuder or $9,666, total $10,066. To each of the four children one- fourth of the remaining estate or $1,833. Closely following the death of the husband and father the wother dies and to her two children will descend her proportion of her husbaud's estate; o that the final division of the estate among the ehildren of the two marriages is $4,55 to each of two children by the first wife, and $10,106 to_each of the two children of the secoud marriage.” Kearney 7, Lincoln 2.

Shoe-Store Clerks Benefltted By Early Olosing. THE CARPENTERS WON'T STRIKE, The Plumbers Still Out--The Difi- culty of the Red Label—Other News Fer Men Who Toil. Early Closing Movement. The retail boot and shoe merchants inaug- urated the closing of their stores at [3 m. on Tuesday evening last. There sre several exceptions, however, who are still keeping the old hours, notably More, Lang and Cook, on Farnam street. A. D. Morse is away from Omaha, and as his re- turn is daily expected his manager did not think it incumbent to Join the movement in the absence of instructions from his superior. Lang and Cook would not close because Morse kept open. Mr. Laog said: “I was perfectly willing to close at 6:30 p. m. if my competitors on the street had done 50, but T could not afford to close and leave what trade there was to them.’ Mr. Cook, it is understood, was also witl- ing to close, but was compelled for the same reason to keep open, ‘Chirteenth and Tenth stroet teem with shoe stores of lesser magnitude, and they are always open ready to sell goods. Many of these stores handle boots and shoes 1n connection with dry goods and clothing, and some handle a heierogencous mass of com- modities from shoes to dish pans. The proprietor of one of the larger Thir- teenth stores, near Farnam, said that he was willing o close it the Farnam street people nad done 60, notwithstanding the fact that most of his trade is_in the evening, coming from mechanics and laborers. Another Thirteenth street shoe merchant said that he could not close because Brande & Sons wero open all evening, and they handled shoes. Thus it is all the way down the street, oue would not close because the other had not. Aclerk in & Thirteeenth street store snid it made vory'little difference whether they were closed or open, as they sold very few if any goods in the evening. ~Another clerk on the same stroet thought they had a “kick and that the workingmen should get together aud aid the clerks, “It makes me hot,” he said, ‘to think that I am not getuing the treatment that nany other shoe clerks are receiving at the hands of the bosses. | am just as capable of enjoy ing @ rest us anyone, and [ need it. While those other fellows are out walkitg with their waves, or buggy riding with their girls, Iand many more clérks on this street are sitting inthe stores sweatiog and tr. 0 kill time.” Tney wouldn't close on street for anything; it would doprive them of the pleasure of dusting off shoe boxes and selling calico and things, for there is no evi- dence of their selling any shoes. Some of the Omaha shoe merchants are as eager in their champiouship for the early closing hour us the others are opposed Lo it They all hope thot Mr. Morse's return wiil straighten matters out, und that all the Far- nam street merchants will join in the move- meut. Mr. Julius Meyer, secretary of the local assembly of the Kuights of Labor, speaking upon the matter of the erection of an assem- bly Lall, said that 50 far as the wovement in- augurated something over & year ago for this purpose, the scheme was practicslly dead. At that time it was arranged that the Knights of Lubor, in conjunction with the other trades and labor unions of the city, should give a serios of Fourth of July celébratios and other entertainments, and after all bil hiad boen puid, the surplus should go towards building o trades' assembly hall. ~ Subscrip- tion lists were circulated among the mer- chants and the first celcbration was given & year ago the 4th of last July. It was a grand Buccess every way except financially, but in that it~ was @& falure. It being evident that the large sum of wmoney er Thirteenth and Farnam Streets, ction of u hall could not Lt was decided, by a resolution passed at ing of the direct- adon the scheme and tho treasur od to roturn the monoy to thos who subscribed to the fund, pro rata, this was accordingly done, and to-day, a cording to the stutement made by er, there is not acent in the hands of the treasurer of the local assembly plac there to be used for the erection of an as- sombly hall. caised in this wa; In this column last Sunday it was stated that certain journeymen plumbers had gono into business for themselves since the plumb- ers strike was declared “off.” The journey- men plumbers take exception to this state- ment, as they have a right to do, the strike not yet having been declared off. What the writer wished to say was that the men men- tioned had gone into business for themselves since the strike was declared *on” and it was 50 written, but the types made it direct- ly opposite. Justice to the plumbers who have mado such a long struggle for what they consider right, calls for this explana- tion. “Can a non-union printer go into any newspaver office in this city and goto work /' asked an officer of the plumbers’ union a da or two ago, whilo discussing the merits of the present strike. “Can a non-union cigarmaker, a non-union tailor, a non-union bricklayer, or any nou-union’ men et em- ployment in the same shops of other_trades where union men _are employed! Go over the field and 1 don't think vou will find n one, but the master plumbers ask us to work with non-union mon, How can we go back under that condition, when one of the chiof objects of our organization 18 to down ‘scab’ labor! We couldn't do it and maintam our union. All'wo asis of the bosses isto dis chargo the non-union men in _their employ and promise to employ no othors, and we will go back under the old scale.” An uninterested party who has had con- versation with both parties to the strike, says there is no reason why the difficulty shoaldu’t be formally ended. The journeymen say that all they want is the dischargo of tho non-union men now employed and the prom- ise of the bosses to hire “scabs no longer, and when the bosses are talked to they say that they would prefer to have union men in their shops, but canuot afford to give in to the strikers. A uumber of coutractors and architects in tho city have become dis- pleuasod with the bosses for rofusing to make any concessions, whatevor. They say their work is delayed and are inclined to ascribe the attitude of the master plumbers to bull- headeduess. = The organized laboring men of Omaha are not payiug as much attention to the eight- hoar movement as the unions of other cit With the exception of discussing the matt oceasionally in union meetings, and tho Cen tral labor union, nothing is being done. A prowinent member of the last named organ- ization called & B3kE reporter's atleution to this fact ‘Thursday, and continuing said that the time between the prosent and the day in May next, when the gcieral demand is t e made, is 0 short that workingmen every- where should be active. He wanted to know \f something couldn't be doue to arouso the Owmabia workmen from their lethargic state. A bystander expressed the opinion that unless the project, per se, were suficient to do this nothing else would, and then tue controversy was dropped. In every union there aro men more radical than othors, aud this 18 true of the carpen- ters' unions of Omaha. The union carpe ters of the city are far from beiug satisie with the present condition of things, es- pecially in regard to the action of nearly sll coutractors of the city in allowing them but % cents for Uhe tenth bour of a day’s work, instead of 45, as the rules of the union call for, and further, the refusal of a few con- tractors to pay more than 27} cents an hour throughout the day. These are real grievauces, which do_exist, and the radical members of the unious are Urging their more conservative brethren, at every meet- ing, to make a stand. Hut the couservative element is in the majority, and it has boen apout decided this weel that no nand will be made at present, and probably uot until sprin "These couseryatives say that the unions are still 100 weal and that there are Lo wany non-union men in the city for them to take | bership of their ¢ the intervening months between this and spring in inducing these non-union men to join the unions; m fact, this work has ale ready begun, and the union men are mecting with g 88 in incroasing the mem= ganizations, ttlement of the diM- mong the g nakers and mamus facturers regarding the use of the red Jabel until the mecting of the national convention in September, the matter really being s question of privilege, and 1t falls tothe national convention o docide whether the local union has the right to endorso a label which 1 used solely to mduce purchasers %o buy cigars made atlocal factorios rather than thoso made in the east.

Thore can be uo settlement of the difi- culties existing betwoen the master and jour- neymen plumbers upon the basis asked by the latter. The bosses have signed contracts with about twenty non-union men to give them employment for onc year, and they say thut th annot break these agreements for the sole purpose of taking back the few strikers that still romain out.
