The annual rifle competition of the divis- fon of the Missouri was brought to a close on Saturday last, at Fort Douglas, Wis. It took place in the camp of one of the regi- ments of the nationol guard of that state, and was visited, among others, by the gov- ernor. Forty men took part in the shoot, repre- nting the departments of the Platte, Mis- souri, Dakota and Texas. From this num- ber a team of ten and two alternates was se- lected to constitute the division team, which next year will epter the competition for the army team The team from the department of the Platte consisted of Lieutenant Goodin, Seventh infautry; Sergeant Saladin, Com- pany I, Eighth: Private Corrie, band, Sey- enteenth: Private Ohrenberg, M, Second; Sergeant Gerher, I, Twentuy-first; Sergeant Dietz, I, Seventeenth; Corporal Davis, B, Sixteenth; Corporal ans, G, Sixteenth; Sergeant Brennan, I, Second; Sergeant El- well, C, iSecond.

LIMITING HIS POWERS, Authority of Mr. James Affected by the New Rules. The new rules and regulations recently adopted by the board of edycation have been received from the printer. A numbver of minor changes have been made, us @lso a fow of considerable im- portance. The number of standing committees has been increased from ten to fourteen. The new committees are as follows: Speciai in- struction, salaries, boundaries and discipline, The committees on high school and manual training have been consolidated, and the committee on teachers avnd text books has been divided into a committee on teachers and examination, and one on text books and course of study. The old rvles laid down no instructions whatever as to the duties of the various committees, and there was nothing to guide any of them except the committee on claims, the duties of which are specitied by law. Under the new rules the duties of committees are made an important feature, the province of each being carefully outlined. ‘The duties and powers of the superintend- entof schools are curtailed ynder the new or- der of things. Formerly that ofticial had the power of transferring pupils from one school uilding to another and prescribing the limit of territory for each school. This duty now dovolves upon the committee on boundaries. The assignment of teachers is now made by the committee on teachers and the superin- tendent, The committee on text books and course of study now hus charge of the examination of pupils for. promotion, and the fixing of the averages necessary to be attained. Formerly this power was vested in the superintenden who was allowed to exercise his judgment this respect. i An Important Eleme Of the success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the fact that every purchaser receives a fair equivalent for his money.

The first evidence that something had gong wrong with W, B. Alexander, J. E. Riley's book-keeper, whose dementia was referred to Tuesday, was discovered on Monday last. He went about talkiug very confidentially to some of his acquaintances, telling them of & deal which would make him very wealthy. It appears that Alexander is interested with Gordon, Potter and others in an old govern- ment boat which they purchased some time ago and have been using here to bring build- ing sand down the river. As the story goes, they were destined 1o lose a lot of money, because the contractors refused to buy the sund und the matter worried Alexunder a great deal. Tuesdny, however, his disposition He was unusually chunged & great deal. lively in spirits, and explained his conduct as being due to the fact that he had disposed of tue boat to St. Louis parties for an excel- lent price, and would realize as bis portion of the proceeds about $9,000. Later, he saud to A friend, L have made arrangemeuts with Dewey & Stone to endorse my paver for 100,000, aud if you need it I will give you all tho money you want.” During the day various other strange m {rom him were A went to 8 P.

Tuesday night be remained dows town until | knowing that J. N. Phillips had & late hour telling everybody of his immense wealth and what grand thines he proposed to do. During the nicht he called on Van Cott und wanted 10 buy $2,000 worth of diamonds, and was much offended _when the latter faid he could rot open his safe at that time and et them, Yesterday morning he appeared on thestreet again, acting the same as before, whereupon Will Hamilton took him to a hotel and cailed Dr. Leisenring in, who administered opiates and soon got him under control. The doctor thinks that his affliction 18 temporary and that with careful troatment he will be all right again in a few davs, The young man's condition was morea larm- ing yesterday than at any time and the advisa- bility of turning him over to Dr. Tilden, chairman of the county board of insane com' missioners, is boing seriously discussed. His wife, who was visiting ds at Minne- apolis, returned home this morning. PICKING DIGREE, Trials and Tribuiations of the Lost Ten Acres. The ten acre tract belonging to Dourlas county‘‘discovered” by Auditor Evans Tues- dny, hasahistory, According to the abstracts and records its geology, which extends back to 1857, when Georgo W. Scott was the owner, is very difficult to trace. It shows remarkable carelessness on the part of a great many people. The property was first cut from an eighty-acre strip, which has been conveyed at lenst n dozen times 1o as many different parties. It sold twice at sherill's sale, and now belongs to Gibson. With each transfer of the eighty, this ten-acre lot, deeded in 1850 to the county by Henry Z. Chapman, has been included: though when the B, & M. railroad company wanted a right-of-way through the land, it was smart enough to find out to whom it belonged and secure a title to three of the ten acres from the county. Septomber 21, 1857, George W. Scott sold his interests to William Scott and James W, Pickard. The latter subsequently released his claim to Scott, who sold the whole of the land to Elias Brock, and on Septembes the property fell into the possession of Johu D. Scott. He in turn, and on November 18 of thut year, made a transfer of the land to James D. Taggart. August 5, 1858, Taggart sold out 10 J. L. Wheeler, and, while he still retained the ownership, it was knocked down by the sheriff to Martin & IBros., to satisfy ajudgment against him. Thereafter the property was purchased successively by D. Kelloge, Mary M. Berger, James A. Taggart, King & Wood, and, finally, Chapman. Since the county - came possessed of tne small strips, it hus been included with every sale and transfer of tho eighty acre tract made, thoush at no time has the county title been disputed or injured. The question, however, may be raised eventually, because there are five hundred mortgages on the property und their holders may want a whack at the cstate. It is prob- ably the most valuable part of the whole tract. ‘The man who purchased from Gibson will be the one most likely to come out loser. Beecham's Pilis cnre bilious and nervous ills 'OVERRIDES THE BOARD. Balcombe Independent of Instruction on Ceder Blocks. Mr. F.W.Gray told a reporter of the causes that led to the presentation at the council meeting Tuesday night of the communica- tiou from J. A. Naugle & Co. complaining of Major Balcombe's methods of inspecting cedar block pavement. *“The trouble,” said Mr. Gray, ‘“is that Mr. Balcombe is so strongly prejudiced against wooden pave- wents of any kind that he is not competent to treat us fairly, te has threatened in open meetings of the board to make the rules of inapection of our work so rigid that it would be unprofitable for us to do business. He has hindered us in every way possible. When we were ut work on Harney street he had the work stoppcd because colored blocks were being used. The board met and @ resolution was adepted 1nstructing the inspectors mot 1o reject blocks on account of their color. Balcombe refused to give this instruction to the inspectors, and the pavers were kept idle for more a week on account of his ignoring the action of a mujority of the board. and Furay had agreed that the colored were all right, Balcombe put a construc upon the resolution adopted that still further delayed the work, His stubbornness caused us a loss of at least $2,500 on Harnoy street alone. We are furnishing a better quality of blocks than is used in any city in the coun- try, and are willing to admit of any reason- able inspection, but we can not do business under his method of overriding the board and venting his personal objections at our expense. We wiil have a fine showing to make to the committee of the council ap- pointed to investigate the matter.” Horsford's Acid Phosphate Imparts New Energy to the Brain. giving the feeling and sense of increased intellectual power, A BASE MORTAL.

What He Has to Say About the Col- Jectorship Plom. T. C. Bruner, speaking about his candi- dacy for collector of the port, said that he had made an application for the place, not ready an- ticipated him, There was no rivalry, he said, between them, except that which was friondly and honorable.

Gen'l W. A, McKLE'S ESCAPADE. A Conceited Masher Comes to Grief and Disgrace. Owen McKee, a dude of about twenty-five yoars, enjoying a salary of §0 a month and the confidence of George E. Barker, presi- dent of the Bank of Commerce, has been making a bad record for himself since comini o Omaha. He hails from Davenport and was introduced to Mr. Barxer Mr, Gale, who recom- mended Lim as a “good but spoiled boy.” He prides himself upon his power of fascinating the weaker sex and only a fow weeks ago came very near being shot by an irate h band who supposed that McKee was exercis- ing his magneticinfluence over his wife. McKee has ulso been a deep drinker and his steady potations cavsed his discharge a number of weeks ago. Since then it has transpired that he has made collections to the amount of $00 on lots in Orchard Hill belonging wo Mr. Barker and the money has never been turned in, Hohas presented bogus checks at saloons and othor places where he owed bills on an imaginary account He had with the Bank of Commerce. One of these were presented to Owen M- Caffrey, a saloon kecper at Sixteenth and accepted it in_good faith. Me- says he will have McKee arrested. Mr. Barker has scared McKee into a set- tlement, the latter haying givon his note for $100 to Mr. Barker, with his sister as surety. ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION. The Merchants of Atchison Request a Change in Through Rate Making. J. O. Phillippi, of the Missouri Pacific, has roturned from Atchison, where he attended o meeting of the state board of transporta- tion ot Kunsas to take testimony in a case in which the merchants of Atcnison preferred charges of discrimivation against the Mis- soury Pacific and the Santa Fe. An attorney who represented the mer- chants stated that the roads discriminated as regards their through and local rates; that the sum of the throuzh rate was less than the tocal rate on the same commodity, and in making the same haul. He requested that the local rate be made the same and to remedy the existing evil the railroads should make the through rate the sum of the two locals, with Missouri river as a basing. Inanswering, Trafic Manager Leeds, of the Missour: Pacific, stated that the through rate applied to inter-stute traffic, and that 1t had no connection with the local rate within the state; and that, also, as it related to inter-state shipments, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the state bonrd. In this the board concurred, but the at- worney who represented the —merchants thought aifferently, and was wiven time to prepare a brief bearing on the case and em- bodying the *‘existing’ Jaws on that point. The cowmission will then announce the re- sult. Newman Tend d tne Position. There is much speculation going on rela- tive to changes on the Santa Fe owing to President Manvel being & new man on that road. An individual high up in raitroad cir- cles who is famihar with the sitation states that, while several changes wilt m all proba- bitity be made, A. A. Robinson; the general manager, will remain in his present position. He also stated that W. H. Newman, e third vice president of tho Missour: Pacific, bad been tendered the position of trafiic ger of the Santa Fe vice White, the in- ent.

After hearing my opinion he asked me to give the opinion in writing, which I did without reference to the party who had the biank contract. In fact, all [ said in substance was that the }\lum{ contract appeared to be good upon its ‘They now claim that this party was a pat- ent fence ugent, and induced versous to deal with him upon the strength of my name ap- pearing upon the blank contract. I hope Tue Bee did not vublish this with intent to injure me. If it wae generally known_that this article was written by a cor:espondent from a town in which a gentleman lives who is at the present time an opposing candidate against me for the office of county judge, it could make but little or no difference, but this fuct is not generally known.

COUNCILMAN FRAAS INTERFERES An Inbuman Parent Deserts Her Child—The Supreme Court—State House News— Happenings in the City. 1020 P STaET, LINcGLN. Sept. 18. Complaints are continually coming to the surface that show up the peculiar methods employed by Marshal Carder in his manage- ment of the police affairs of the city. The latest is to the effect that on last Friday evening & man by the name of Joseph Brad- ley was arrested and jailed for drunkenness. After he had sobered up a littlo the marshal concluded that he knew something concern ing a gang of thieves that are suvposed to be workimg the lown, and he was asked to cough up. He refused, saying that he knew nothing about the thicves. But Carder con- cluded that he did know and determined to make him talk. Calling some of the patrol- men to him he ordered the hoso turaed upon the prisoner, and he was soaked thor- oughly. He stood the drenching as long as he could, and’ when chilled through he crouched down in a cor- ner of the cell and pulled his coat collar up over his head to protcct himself. At the instance of the marshal two policemen went in, caught him by the shoulder, wheeled him around and fired the stream into his face. This was continued for some time. Council- man Fr:as, however, came along and or- derea the barbarous treatment to stop. At this time Bradiey was nearly exhausted and it1s said his moans were piteous, It ap- pears that this is not the only case of In- quisition practices that lie against Carder and that others will be brought to light.
