THEY MADE A DISCOVERY. Police Oommissioners Find They Cannot Compel a Man to Testify. AFTER A THREE-DAYS' ©ouncilman Kaspar Gives a Bit of Startling Testimony, and the In- wvestigation Adjourns to the Circus Tent. SESSION. Hascall’s Advice. The police commissioneos concluded the alioged investigation of the charges against membersof the police force yesterday morn- ing, After a three days’ session the commis- sioners became convinced of the fact that they have no power to compel the attendance of ‘witnesses, and so decided to give the matter up as a bad job. Wednesday the commissioners summoned about twenty witnesses to appear at 9 o'clock yostorday morning. When they met C. 8. Higgins was the only sub- Kmncd witness present. He was reputed to avo charges 10 make against certein mem- bers of the force. “I would not acoept Hizgins' statement under any circumstances,’ said Mayor Broatch, ana Mr. Higgins was not called. Then Councilman Hascall dropped in. He was asked to be sworn, He informed the board that he did not think they haa any right to subpaua him, certainly no right to compel an attendance and 1o right 1o admin- aster av onth. Mayor l!rmllv:h—-“ 1ll you be sworn? Mr. Hascall—> Mayor Iironlch— ‘hnn we have no further use for you here, sir, Then Mr. Gilbert wanted to administer an oath in his capacity of notary public. Mr. Hascall refused. Ho said if it ‘was a legal proceeding, in which he could be prosecuted for perjury if ho swore falsely he would be sworn, but saw no occasion for an oath in this instance. Mr, Hascall intimated that he could give the commissioners some valuable pointers as to the manner in which they shouid do business, but claimed that no matter who administered un oath, it was not binding except in o regular legal proceeding. *‘We understand that und understand our duty,” said Commi oner I3ennett. “Yos, that's the trouble with you,” said Judge Huscall. *‘You don’t want to take ad- vice from any body. You have thrown com- plaints from reputable citizens into the ‘waste ket, simply because they were not sworn to in accordance with arule laid down by the commissioners that is neither rignt nor sensible. Mr. Hascall then withdrew and made room for William Butts who told how Duft Green drove all the boarders out of his house by making a raxd on the place at night ana bursting opon the doors of rooms occupied by respectable boarders, Councilman Kaspar appeared before the commissioners and told how Jerry O'Leary and Count Pulaski had told him that Scavey had issued orders 1o have him watched and arrested if he made a show of breaking any ordinance. A special was sent by Chief Seavey to watch his saloon. Mr. Kaspar took the speciai ont and visited other saioons and drank with him but no_complaint was made against them. Ho wld of two clerks, ‘whose names be could nov remember, who had told him that they were arrested and gave $20 each to securo their rolease and no camplaint was made against them, The commissiovers recoived Mr. Kaspar's statement and then adjourned sine die and Wwent out to see Lie circus’ street parade. BRAVE ENGINEE ROBERTS. He Saves a Boy's Life by His Cool Work. Engineer Roberts, the man who runs the huge machine which pulls the B. & M. fiyer {rom Pacific Junction to Lincoln, saved a life this sido of Plattsmouth yesterday, by a piece of extrnordinary presence of mind. ‘When the train left Plattsmouth a boy of perhaps sixteen years sprang on the pilot of the engine unobserved, his intention being to beat his way to Omaha. He could not have been very careful, for after the train was running at _full speed, by some means he was thrown from his perch down on the pilot, head first, and but for a lucky chance in grasping a brass flag socket, would have fallen uirectly under the truck wheels. Roberts saw the lad’s head just beyond the cylinder in horrible proximity to tho cross ties and his heart leaped into Lis throat. To reverse the engine and apply the brakes would be but to break the fellow's hold and then all would be over. His cool- ness saved & life. Springing out on the run- ning board he dasbed out ou the pilot and grasping the boy's arm, pulled him back on the machine. It was a risky trick, but Roberts accom- plished it. Then he took the chap nto the cab and after each had regained their self- possession stopped the train and with a -vig. orous application ot sole leather gaye the fln\ll\fl man a start through a cornfield which e will remember. *I had to do 1t,” said Roberts. *‘He gave me the worst scare I ‘ever had and I wanted a little satisfaction.” DEATH OF MAJOR J.

A ROW IN THE WATER CAMP Wolfenbarger and Bittenbender Lead the Opposing Hosts. THE UNCOMPROMISING ROUTED. A Resolution Expressing Sympathy With the Non-Partisan Amend- ment League Oaunsed the Rum- pus—It Was Adopted. L1NcorN BUREAU OF THE OMATA Hun, 1020 P Strser, Laxcony, August 22, The morning session of the prohibition state convention met at Bohaoan's hall this morning at 10 o'clock. Professor Roark, of Oregon, was intro- duced, and delivered an address which greatly pleased the delegates, Following this address came the report of the committee on rosolutions, as follow The prohibition party of Nebraska in stato convention assembled, 1. Acknowledge Almighty supreme ruler of the univers 2. Heartily indorses the platform of prin- ciples enunciated by the national prohibition party in convention at Indianapolis in 1855, 8. The recent purchase of numerous ex- tensive breweries by an English syndicate that already owns nearly all the saleons in Great Britain and Ireland, with the avowed purpose of likewise controlling the saloons of America, and through themn the politics of America, renders tenfold greater the culp- ability of him who fails to identify himself atonco with a political party that declares in unmistakeable terms its undying hostility to this kind of foreign domiuation through the agency of the criminal classes. This demonstrates the foresight of the prohibi tiomists in demanding and working for national constitutional prohibition. 4. We arraign the republican party of Nebraska for its double dealing and treach- ery to the cause of the people of this state, as made manifest in the dual submission bill, which passed the last legislature, sub- mitting the prohibitory amendment, to avoid political wreck, and at the same time submitting the license amendment without petition, thus mdicating to every republican partisun that the defeat of prohibition is to be accomplished in the interest of republican distilleries, breweries and saloonkee: who 1t turn aro to remain loyal to the party of high licerse. 5. We pledge the unanimous support of the prohibition party, press and political machin® ery to the pending prohibitory amendment and demand of the republican party and party press that they no longer decoive the peo- ple, but take u position either for or against prohibition, that all may know on which side the party machinery is being used. The next resolution proved a svag, and the great convention was for some time nearly rent in twain by the ill feeling engendered over it. Bittenbender and Wolfonburger, who have stood shoulder to shoulder for years in the prohibition cause, got at swords pomnts during the discussion. Bittenbender was ably assisted by Rev. Chapin, Dr. Fitch, Robert, and others; Wolfenbarger by Rev, Wocedby, Mrs. King and a number of other able advocates. The following is the resolutions which created so much trouble among the third partyites: 6. Wo recognize in the Nebraska non- partisan arendment league, an_organization that may greatly mssist in carrying the amendment, and while we believe they err in not antagoniziug every party and candi- date for ofiice whi. opposes the amendment, nevertheless we commend their ardor and evident sincerity, and bid them Godspeed. After the calling of the previous question & vote was taken on the motion to strike this xesomnon out, but it was lost by a vote of 7 3od as the 'um Bittenbender crowd supported the resdlution, while the Wolfenbargers opposed it, becauss they claimed that it was a partial surrender of third party principles, an enter- ing wedge into the purty's ranks, which would lead to its dissolution. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. The noon hour was devoted largely to an animated discussion on the sixth resolution. The Bittenbender crowd claimed at firat that the resolution had been adopted as part of tho platform, but the Wolfenbargers wero sharp enough to ses @ point. They claimed that the vote was on the motion to strike it from the report of the committee, Deloga- tions visited the Rov. Bemley, who was act- ing chairman, and asked him for aruling in advance. This ho gave, holding with the Wolfenbargers. From that time on_the two factions worked in dead earnest until the callng of the convention to order at 2 o'clock. “Tho Cravk Quartette saug *‘And That is What Tickles Us So.” after which the ses- sion opened with prayer by the Rev. E. H Chapin. The Crank choir then sang an- other song while the room was Alling up. Al this while Bittenbender and his associ- ate supporters of the discordant resolution were on the platform. The Wolfenbargers were not to be seen, This gave much un- casiness on the part of his foi- lowers, who wero ready for _the fray, but wanted their leaders on deck. Whien all wore ready for business, the chair- man made his ruling above rferred to. The resolution was read again. The chairman stated that if there was no objection it would stand approved. Caray, of Antelope, offered a substitute as follows ' Resolved, That we “cordially sympathize with all wise and well directed efforts hav- ing for thewr object the success of the pro- amendment.”? This is quoted directly from the national republican platform, Discussion followed, in which Carey, Fitch and others took part. Dr. Fiteh offred vhe following amendment to the substitute: Resolyed, That “while we believe most firmly in the wisdom and necessity of keep- ing all our work separate from all combinu- tions and free from sl compromises, we cx- press our hearty sympathy with the' honest offort of all temperance men and women to secure the passage of the pending prohibit- ory constitutional amendment. The chairman rulod that not be considered as an amendment w the substitate, and that the substitute would have to be disposod of first. In the meautimo Wolfenbarger nad come in and taken a back seav. o arose and said that of the threo resolutions that had boen ad he preferred the ono quoted from the tional republican platform. He scored the rimmers,"” as he termed tuem, who dallied with the hon-partisan league. Ho quoted with effect those words of £roctor Knott, of Kentucky, **He who dullies is & dasturd, and he who doubts are damned.” He followed With one of his characteristic speechios. During one of iis “scorings’ Bittenbender arose to o question of priviiege, aud charged Wolfenbarger with having charged that the resolution of the committee was being lobbied through by members of the non-partisan league. He challenged the proof. ally the reading of the platform con- tinued. 7, We favor the complete enfranchisement of women, 8. Astho Australian ballot system em- bodies the best protection to the yoter in his 1ights, therefore wo urge its spoedy adop- tion. 9. We favor the national eight-hour law. 10. We declare opposition to all trusts and mouopoliss, of which tho liquor tralic s tho chief. On motion No. 0 was stricken from the platform, and afterwards Chapin moved to reconsider that action, which carried, 1o eight-hour resolution beine again be- fore the convention, another leugthy discus- sion followed. One delegate favored it be- cause it would offer un inducement for labor- ing men o Join the prolibition purty. Woodby declaimed against puttng things i the platform for policy sake. He would put in this eight hour plauk because he thougit it was right, Georgo H. Hailoy, of Fairbury, of troing borse fame, opposed the resolution aud de- clared that it was absolutely necessary that men should labor mine or tea hours a day. A day's work could not be performed in eight hours. Another delegate suggested that if eght hours for & day was adopted the laborine men would spend that much more tiwe in the saloons. [Hisses wingied witn applause. | ‘This delegate was followed in much such @ straiu by Allen, of Salime, who claimed 1t could that no man could achié¥o greatness in any l‘ltm on loss than !\Vrm!r fourteen hovrs & day. whae A vote was then_taken on a motion to strike out this cight l*vgu resolution, It re sultod in 88 ayes and pes, The eight hour ru’l\uhun was thereupon stricken out, t The reaaitig of the platform procoeded: 11. Wo rejoice in JMip wonderfally wide and pure work of m%'tgmxu sisterhood, the ‘Woman's Christian porance Union, and commend its bold and Well ‘managed attack u:mn the stronghold)df legally entrenched vice. 12, Wo hola the lnlng largely responsible for the alarming intfiase of the desecra- tion of the Sabbath' and as the training school of anarchy. It riotous dwsregard of Sunday law in Cincinnati and other ocitio defying state and muniwcipal authorities, is fres evidence of their set purpose to violate the order and sanctity of the day. Believing that the wago-earner Is worthy of his hire, and believing that the largest revenue to the saloon comes throngh the laboring classes, and bnlievnmnmuhu saloon thus stauds in the way of the elova- tion and udvancement of labor, thorefore, we invite the wage-eartiers of every class o Join our party in its war agawst the greatest monopoly the world has ever known. 14. As a platform of principles can ouly become practical through a party pledged to their enforcement, therefore we urge overy one opposed to the saloon and ils attending evils to unite with the prohibition party, the only party committed to the adop- tion of the amendment und its enforcement thereafter, 15. Resolved, That we favor governmental control of railroads and telegraph lines, 16. Wealso recognize and as thoroughly condemn the established policy of the demo- cratic party in its open und direct hostility to all measures designed t prohibit the liquor trafiic. A resolution of thanks to C. F. S, Temp- lin, for past faithful sorvices, was adopted. Tao finance committes made made report on the condition of the treasury, finding $2,000 in pledges yet uncoliected, Sugges- ti0ns were made on the conduct of the cam- gaign, which were adopted, and the commit- toe was made permanont, 'The expenses of the prosent state convention, amounting to $140, were paid by passing the hat. The fol- lowing nominations were made: F. P. Wigton, of Norfolk, supreme judge; Mrs. Jennie K\, Holmes, ot ‘Tecumseh, presi- dent of the 'stato W. C.T.U., and L. B, Palmer, of Hastings, grand worthy chief Templar of the L. O. of G. 'I., for regents of the state universit; Some discussion had on the propriety of nominating u ca ate for congress from the Second congressional district to suceeod Laird, but the matter was finally referred to the prohibitionists of that district for final d the convention adjourned. This evening a prohibition love feast was held at Bohannon’s hall and the bitterness of the morain, s sugared o'er. Lincoln Gas Works Sold. Itis just learned that the Lincoln gas ‘works have been sold. "The owners, Messr Walsh & Putman, received an offer of $1 000 for the works, some weeks since, and it is given out to-day that it has been accepted. It is understood that the deal hung fire several days because the founders and late owners of the works had failed to incorpor- ate under the laws of the state. The condi- tiou that hung the sale in the balanoe was taken under advisement by Walsh & Put- man, and they concluded to comply with the tion. Articles of ‘incorporation were therefore filed. Iu is_also learned that the same syndicate has offered $05,000 for the electric light plant, and that a sale will be consummated within a day or two. Township Opganization. The cry for township organization has been raised in Lancpster county, and it is said that the nccessaty petition is circutat- ing for the call to deterinine the matter at the next general election. Agitators of the move claim that thero is widespread dissatis- faction as to the general disposition of pub- lic business in the handsof the board of county commissioners, and that the only thing that will insure reform is a radical change in_the method of conducting the business affaus of theycounty. It is urged that township organization, which abolishes the board of county commissioners, is the step neces: y to msure the reforms sought. Tt is learned, ‘also, that many of the most level-headed citizens of the county think that such a change would be suicidal to the best interests of the county; that the cum- bersomo muchinery necessary in township organization wouid produce combinations and extravagance unknowu under the pres- ent methods of organization. It is said that if the petition is secured and the call made for a yote upon the question that it will be fought step by step at the polls. Will Aitend the National Reunion. Judge Amasa Cobb, of the supreme bench, will attend the national G. A. R. reunion at Milwaulkee, and will leave for there in a day orso. It is well, perhaps, to state that the judge was an old citizen of thatcity and spent some of the best years of his life there, und his visit, therefore, has a two-fold purpose, viz: To fraternize with old friends and greet constituents of other days. It will be remembered that Judge Cobb represented the congressional district in which Milwuu- kee is situated three different terms in con- gress, His life has been a busy one, ana he has given his country distinguished service both in legislative and judicial balls. In a aword with Tue Beg representative to-day he took occasion to state that he was well up with the supreme court cases he had in hand to pass upon, and that with one or two ex- ceptions he had disposed of all of them. He also statod that his associazes on the bench were equally fortunate in this regard. New Notaries Public. The governor to-day made the following notarial appointments: Carroll S. Rainbolt, York, York county; F. H. Stevens, Grant, Perkins county; F. S. Brownlee, Omahi Douglas county; A. J. Dunlevy, Tilden, Mad- ison county; W. J. Gardner, Clay Center, Clay county: F.'N.

Mr. Forepaugh had endeavored to accommodate large crowds by having the largest circus tent made this vear that he ever possossed, it being 885 by 185 feot. 13ut yosterday this was inadequate to bold the crowd and over 2,000 persons stood up, cutting off the view of nearly half of the people sitting down, and caused much unfavorable comment. The show was up to its usual standard, and in some special foatures, was better than ever.

A Creditor of the Bank of Omaha Makes Ugly Char :es, On Wednesday evening a mass meetine of the creditors of the Bank of Omahn was held and a committee appointed to represent the general interests, This committee fixed upon certain attorneys to take their case aud Jaid the matter before them. The lawyers in question set too high a price on their services, and the committee will 80 report to another meeting, which will be held to-morrow evening at the St. Lows hotel, and into which only depositors will be admitted. One of the committee, and a leading spirit in everything done thus far, is Gottlob Zim- merman, Mr. Zimmerman was asked to talk of the matter last evening, and in addi- tion to the facts given above he stated with much certainty that he should get 100 cents on every dollur he deposived. He said that rot only would many of tho larger claims be thrown out, but that a very large proportion of the bank's stock had never been paid in. Very much of it wus held by men who paid one-third or one-fourth of its face value, but who have had the effroute 0 claim the full amount by the face. “These fellows.” he said, *‘will have to pay up the full face value of the stock they hold, or be refused any share in the proceeds. In either case the small but houest depositors will fare better than was at first thought vossible. Beside,” he said angrily, “there’s any num- ber of men whose names are on the buoks as Gepositors who never deposited @ b Tnere’s more of the swinale than has yet come t0 light, and the guilty ones shall not escape.” “What about Wasserman’s claim " “Ivs fraudulent, and about Needham's claim, t0o, I cun tell you something. Need- ham has & claim as w depositor of $2,700, Why, he never had $700 to deposit. The way he got that credit on the books was by trad- ing the bank an $30 lot away out several miles north for several times its value. And another time hé. and s partuer sold the bauk a cheap lot for $23,000 in stock,and credits. 1t looks like collusion,” Judge Shields has told the representatives of the depositors that he will not take any further action in the matter nutil Monday of next week. At the Saturday night meeting each of the depositors will be called on to sign an agreement to bear the expenses of a legal fight in proportion to the amount of his deposit.

The Delight Taken by the “*Doctor” in the Killing of Yearlings Speaking of intelligent cats, says a writer in the New York Tribune, wo owned one when we were camped on the Big Sandy river who knew a thing or two. The doctor was not handsome, none of us thought thate but in a coun- try where we saw only Indians and coy- otes week in and week out a cat was a good compunion for the man who had to watch the camp when the others were away with the cattle. The most not able thing about the doctor at the blush was his face and eyes. There was a white spot over one eye and half of his face, which made him look like a bald- faced horse. Toadd to the odd effect caused by this blotch, the doctor’s eyos were of different colors. One was green and the other wasa sort of brown. But if the doctor was nut noted for his beau- ty he was much respected on the Big Sandy, and no little consideration was shown him in looking after his wants. It is certain that as iar as provisions went he always fared better than any man in the camp. If there was one thing which the doctor and the rest of ustook a lively interest in it was the killing of a year- ing to get fresh meat. 1t may be sup- posed that fresh meat was not scarce in a cattle camp, but this was not true. It was not often that the few men who watched the herd found time to do any slaughtering. So when it was decided to kill a yearling there was an unusual stir of interest among them. The doctor in a short time got to know so much about this operation that at the lirst sign of preparation he gave expression 10 the wildest glee. As soon as one of the men began to sharpen his knife the doctor climbed a fence-post and on top of it began a series of crazy antics. He raised his back, with hair standing up like porcupine quills, and howled till the men started to lasso the yearling. Then the doctor became n Iour-lngl;ml fiend. With a wild scream he leaped from the post and ran before the horses, tumbling over and over, clawing at the ground and tangling himself up with the horses’ feet. But when the vearling was caught the doctor became still more violent and his actions were simply demoniacal. Not till the yearling was killed did he become calm and then the contrast was startling. He walked around the pros- trate animal with an_ air of the keenest delight, always ending his celebration by leaping lightly to its back and sit- ting there, purring uunl{ and looking contented with the world and every- thing on its surface, Save Your Hair Y a timely use of Ayer's Hair Vigor.
