The midday meeting of the real es ehange yestorday had the largest attendance that its deliberations have called out at any time during the past two weeks, and consd- eruble business was done, The comumlitice to whom was referred the matter of entain- ini the delogates to the farmars’ congre reported a conference with the official of the Elkhorn raliway, and that the best propnsi- tion the company could make under the pro visions of the interstate commerce law for the proposed excirsion to the Black Hills | was one fare for the round trip. The com- pany offered to guarantee a pleasant excur- sion, and every courtesy that could be shown the delegates and their friends. Mr. J. R.

An effort to reduce the expenses of the exchange by securing cheaper quarters and holding weekly instead of daily meeting was promptly suppressed by the members, who declared that financially tbe excbange had been a success to them, besides the good it had done to the city at large, and they feared that & removal to cheaper quarters would kill it. After considerable discussion the hour of holding meetings was changed from 11 o'clock to 3 o'clockfin the afternoon.

The forenoon wus taken up in a rather un- successful attempt on the part of the defense to get in evidence coucerning various mat- ters. Tho state kept raising objections, and tedious legal arguments were so freely sandwiched among the bits of evidence as to render the session rather less entertaining than usuul for the audience which was of usual size. Mrs. Porter was recalled for further cross-examination. The defense sought to gain further informaticn from her concern- ing the letter which Mr. Helmick received informing him of Palmer’s character, and urging bim to warn Mrs. Porter, as her daughter was about to marry Palmer. David Oliver was recalled. Tho attorneys for the defense spent “¢ousiderable time in trying to get this witness for the state to face the jury in a satisfactory way., An attempt was made to got Oliver to testify as t0 & little episode which accurred in the cor- ridor of the court house a half-hour before. Iv seems that Oliver and other witnesses for the state had expressed hot anger against Grundel, onc of the witnesses for the de- fense, and had informed him they were going to *'do him up,” or in some other way ‘‘got even” after they snould have returned to Neola at the close of the trial. Many of the questions were ruled out. Oliver denied thraats, but admivted having had a talk. Jim Hardman, unother witness for the state, who was supposed to have likewise threatened Grundel for testifying for the defense, was called to the stand. He ad- mitted talking to Grundel about his testi- mony, for he thought Grundel had been lymg about him on the stand. He denied threatening Grundel. John Grundel was next called, and asked concerning the same matter, but the defense had poor success in getting in his story, the objections vn the part of the state coming in t00 thick. Mr. Pruder was next called to the witness chair. The purpose of his testimony was to contradict Hardman, who had sworn that on the night of the shooting he was at home, and that he was not one of the egg-throwing gang. Pruder testified that the next day after the shooting, in the course of a conversation about the affair, a man named Coojer made the remark that he would bet Helmick would get clear, for the boys were on his premises and in the barn. Hardman then said, ‘‘we were in the alley.” The witneas remarked, *I thought you weren't there, Hardman!” “Well,” Hardman said, cor- recting himself, *I mean the boys were in the atley.” Mrs. Rishton was called and interrogated concerning a conversation had between Palmer and Crissman in June. It was in regard to the letter writtan by Crissman to Helmick concerning Palmer, and by which letter Helmick was urged to see the young lady whom Palmer was courting and warn her and her mother ot Palmer’s character. Palmer was much oxcited over the matter, threw his hat down in_ an ugly manner, swore, and said he would settle “with Hel- mick. The witness did not notice whether Palmer had a revolver or not, she was so frightened. This closed the evidence for the day. Judge Thornell has not announced his de- cision as to whether he will permit the letter referred to go to the jury. Adjournment was taken until morning at 10 o’clock.

Much curiosity has been manifested as to what policy will be pursued by Mayor-Eiect Macrea and the coming administration. The newly elected executive chief nas not been very communicative on the sabject, ana he has not been regarded as a promising subject by the ncwspaper interviewers. It is well known that he holds very positive opinions, but he has exhibited no intention of making them known until after he takes his seat in the mayor's chair, Several of che anxious ones have tried to obtain some little inkling of his intentions in the way of appointments, bat the result failed to satisfy them. This being the case, speculation is rife as to who the appoiutees will be, and us speculation it will continue for several days to come. As the mayor s ex ofllcio_tho thoad of the police department, the appoiniment of a nd of the members of the force wust arily be made bfr him, and he has been besieged by applicants, A defizite answer, however, 18 something that isfiot given, aud noue of the aspirants for a posi- tion in the city's employ will know the result of their application until the mayor reporta his appointments to the city council, It may be conjectured how many there are who desiro @ place on the force when it is known that four names are mentioned for the position of chief. This artette con- sists of Dr., Wade Cary, Capt ain James An- derson of the merchants police,0. H. Lucas, the present incumbent, and ‘Theodore Guittar, Each has more or less of a following, but as yet neither can Enlll.lv&ly claim the endorsement that each is so anxious to re- ceve, Anotber subjoct of mnch speculation is what course will be pursued with reference 1o the closing ofsaloons and gawmbling houses, and the interest that is felt in the matter is not confined to the sporting class, In order to ascertain what would be done in this direction 4 Bek reporter called at the oftice of the mayor-elect yesterday afternoon. Tuat gentleman was found quietly smoking and chatting with s fow friends, and it was gvi- dent that the prospect of coming cares Was not wearing upon him, neither did he mani- 1 0y uneasiness over the situation. He admitted that he had been besieged by & great many applicants, but stated that thus far he had wmade no appointments. He said: “I will bave them all ready to announce to the council, but it will hardly be at the meot- ing on the 17th inst. 1 will present them at some subsequent time, ‘There are plenty of applicants, and ( begin to understand what the president of the United States has to coutend with, If the rest of the country fur= nishes as many seekers after federal ofice in THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MARCH 9 Proportion as this city does for municipal po- sitions I do tinic [ would care to take the president’s pluce, although he can dodge the office seekers bett than the mayor can. Mayor Robrer called on me this morning and gave me a little of his oxperience, By the way, | read in one of the papers that [ was hard at work on my inaugural message, and _that Mayor ~Rohrer was just as busy on his fareweli message. that was news to me, and Mayor Rohrer was equally surprised to learn it. The fact is thut neither of us have yet begun work on these documents," “Do you object to stating what the policy of the new administrution will bet” *In what respect!" “Well, first with reterence to the saloons and gambling houses{" Y[ suppose that the eambling houses will be closed and the saloons wiil be regulated, My understanding from the notice to gam- blers that has been published in the city pa- pors is that the gambling houses are to be closed by the 15th of this month. This is to be done by those who signed the petition, ana they have pledged themselves to furnish the necessary money to do it. They will close the pl and then' I am expected to keep them closed.” “And you propose to do thist” “I do, most assuredly.” “In what way do you intend to regulate the saloons! " “By keeping them closed Sunday, and re- quiring them to close ata regular hour every night. I don’t think the people demand that they should be closed altogether.” “What hour will be fixed for their clos- ing?" “Well, I don’t know positively—probably 11 o’clock. Folks ought to be home by that time, and if there are no gambling houses the saloons ought to bo willing to close at that hour. I believe they are allowed to re- main open until 12 o’clock m Omaha, but 1 see no necessity for it.” “When you say that they must be closed at certain times I suppose you mean at both ends? " “Well, I think they will find out that I mean what [ say, and that when I say ‘close up’ it doesn’t mean dodge in the back way." *Now, what will be your police policy 1" *I'he first thing will be to convince the de- partment that there is a heud to it,”” was the decided answer. ‘*Affairs in this direction will be cuunged 8o that a policeman will com- mand some respect. The force will be man- aged in a business-like manner, and I hope to see it very mugh improved.” “Will 1t be the policy of the administra- tion to continue making public improvements ng the next two years?" *Certainly, 10 some extent. ‘The financial condition of the city must govern that. The resolutions adopted by the citizans’ conven- l.:r)n demand retrenchment in this direc- tion.” Do you propose to follow out the line of action indicated by those resolutions?”’ *“Yes, they seem to just about meet my ideas.” *What do you think of the proposed ordi- nance cutting down tho salaries of the city ofticials?"” “I have not looked into the matter. Mayor Rohrer staled that he did not believe the ordinance would pass, and that he 18 in favor of raising instead of reducing them. How- ever, we will try to give the city a good and satisfactory admmistration, at whatever suim the salaries are fixed.” At this juncture the doctor was cailed away, and the outlining of the coming policy was at an end. It seems that Peter Wind, the alderman- clect from the Second ward, is of much the same opinion as the mayor-clect regarding applicants. He says that he thought it was all over when the polls closed, but he now realizes his mistake. He has been con- stantly harassed and anvoyed, and he is of the opinion that they even begrudgo himn the time it takes to eat his meals. They call at his house and follow hinf on the street, and the other newly elected members of the council cannot even find time to sympathize with him because they are similarly annoyed. it Save Life and Money.

The deer plunged about, and the iady screamed, Something had to be done and done at once, There wasa fine gun in the house, loaded, hut the lady would not approach it, as fre-arms were her especial dread. Among her many possessions she had a large pair of tongs. She lhnruufihly understood this fire-arm, and with all her house-wifely instincts outraged, she seized them and began the attack. . Within five minutes the buck’s skull was pounded to a jeily, and then the victor, her clothing slightly torn, sat down and wdulged in u good cry. OF FRANCIS NURPAY VIEWS He Gives His Reasons for Opposing Statutory Prohibition. IT IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE, License Doea Not Create but Restriots the Traflic in Liquor—Away With thelrffira Party Mo ent, A Barb Wire Liaw. “If Francis Murphy isa’t a prohibitionist how does he manage to harmonizo the pro- hibition und anti-prohibition elements while prosecuting his gospel temperance work! " This is a question that has been asked scores of times during the past weex by those who have attended the nightly meet- fngs at Masonic temple, and who nave no- ticed those co-operating with this noted tem- perance worker in his endeavor to re- claim men and save them from the certain destruction to which ther ungoverned appetites are leadingRthem. Joined with him in this noble work are all the pastors of the city and many prominent business men as weil as a number of ladies who are prominent in the social circles of the Bluffs. The prohibition leaders are out i forco at every meeting, und Rev. T. J. Mackay, rector of St. Paul's, whose letters opposing the prohibitory law created such a discussion a short time ago, 18 always on hand taking an active part in these meetings. ‘This is the state o[ affaics thut has suggested these questions, and considerable interest attaches to the situation when it is knowa that Mr. Muroby is not only an unoeliever in statutory pronibition, but is ordinarily outspoken in his opposition to it. His antiprohibitory ideas, however, he hus kept to himself, and when a BeE re. porter called upon him yesterday afternoon and asked for on interview ongthat very sub. ject, the noted lecturer smilingly regarded his caller for a few seconds and then gave him an admonishing jab in the ribs as he re- marked: “See here, youw'll get me into trouble with these prohibition folks if you don’t 100k oul, and 1 mustn’t have that.”. “Well, but, Mr. Murpny, it is generaily un- derstood thut you are opposed to a prohibi- tory law " “Just wait a minute—don’t get me tangled up in any differences of opinion between the prohibitionists and the anti-prohibitionists. My work is to Iift men up and to save them by the grace of God. Them that are well need not the physician, but them that are sick. That's what the bible says. and I am working to help these who need it, and not mixing up in eny outside quarrels. Don't say anythiog to interfere with this work. The prohibitionists think that prohibition is the necessary thing, and I don’v want to lose their help just because I don’t think as they do. ‘They are helping me, and we are doing good _ work, but 1if you come out with an interview stating that Mur- phy 18 opposed to the prohubitory law and thiuks it a failure and all that kind of truck, these folks would drop me like a hot potato, and I would be a dead duck in this city. Let us wopk to save these men who are now of ao use fo themselves or any- one olse, and lift themn! vack to the plane from which they fell. ¥iospel temperance is the only plan of reformfation that can suc- ceed. Now don’t do fnvthing to impair its work here, The prohibition folks ought to be satisfied. They bave had full swing here for five years, and I have been kept out of the state. I have been and ualways shall be opposed to this third party busi- ness Le ause it can not be successful. Miss Frances E. Witlard has been fighting me for years for this very reason. She has tried to keep me out of lowa, and since that Chicago convention has been particularly bitter against me. We cannot work together in the matter. If prohibition 1s to be a suc- cess the prohibitory law must be passed by each man for himself, and then he wiil see that the Jaw is enforced. The grace of God in the heart is the scurce of all true reforma- tion, and that al' ae is successful. This I am trying to bring avout, and I don’t want any element antagonized to intérfer with the progress of the ‘work. *Ihe trouble with prohibitory law is that the law 1s passed, and the temperance folks leave it all to the law. They sit down and fold their hands and think they bave done their fali duty. The prohibitory law is a barb wire fence that they have throwu around the people, and then they expect to raise a crop, ‘The ground must be ploughed and harrowed and carefully tended, and then vhe crop must be harvested. This barb wire fence business is a bad thing. While the folks are sitting arcund quictly the enemy comes up and throws bottles of whisky be- tween the wires. He sows tares among the wheat, and that is where the troubie is. “The law has been in effect here for five yoars, and the people are not satisfied Whisky is sold uad drank. The prohibition- ists, as I 8nid, think their duty is done, and they leave it for the oficers to enforce the law. Theic levhargy righthere is a mistake. ‘Lhey should keep right on with their gospal temperance work und make each individual @ prohibitionist for himself. If this work had gone on for the past five years the ques- tion would have been comparatively settied pow, but they passed this law and then their work seemed to bo at an end, and there has Dbeen no progress in it. “The passage of this law hurt gospel tem- perance. When It was passed in KKansas, that state had thousands and thousands of its citizens followers of the Murphy move- ment, 1T'hat was how they got the law, but when I afterwards wanted to go back there and work, they said ‘no, it won't do. It will throw d edit on the law, and folks will think the law is not suficient 1f we have to push gospel temperance with it." Murphy can’t go there because he thinks each man snould become his own prohibitionist, aside from anythiug on the statute books. “‘{ know that the prohibitivn people are rather suspicious of me. They think that I don'v boom the prohibitory law, but they must remember that I don’t work against it. 1 agreed o this when I vame into the state on tho 10th of last November, and I worked hard for gospel temperance, without saying anything against the wove to prohibit by statute, “Some of the prohibition peopls here have even charged me with drinking with the boys. 1don’tdeny it. I have been buying Colfax water, und it has done me a world of wood. 1 have beeu into the Mint and several of the saloons. always try to have a good word for the boys, and [ want thew to come 10 my meetings. I am no better than the Lord Jesus Christ, and he was friendly with publicans and sinners, Ihey accused Him ot coming to destroy thg law, but instead His mission was to fultillit. 1 want to be allowed to continue in my work. Just because I do not agree with overybody else is no reason why we should pot work together for com- mon good. : As for gettwg along harmouiously with those who are at variance, it is simply by leaving out that portion of which they offer. They must govern my course in fowa, I nope to work in Nebraska, but the prohibi~ tion folks can not induce we to endorse their third party ideas, 1 will never consent to it, and will remain away before I will speak for statutory prohibition, It is a logical conclusion with me thut if I help to pass ouch a law that I then must help to elact men who will fuvor that law and will inflict pen- alties for its violationi” A'hese folks hold that it is the greatest erime in the calendar to drink @ glass ©f liquor, and when I salu @s much to: a preacher here the other day, he replied, ‘Well, ono of the greatest.’ Thoy hold that the granting of license creates the orime of selliug liquor, aad my view is that the crime, 1f there is any, alreudy existed, aud the license is to re- strict it. But I dou't speak of these things from the platform 1 fowa, and I told you why. That is also why the opposing elements are work- ing together, If we can continue together, we can do a groat deal of good.

There are four or five bands of wild horses that take care of themselves in the unfenced mountains of the Upper Sierras, but none in the Coast Range, noeth of San Luis. They ave descended from Spanish mustangs, and are as wild and worthless for any kind of work as it is possible to imagine. In one case, in early times, a Spanish land owner was persuaded to buy an American plough and sow some wheat. He had four or five mustangs tied to the plough- beam, put boys on the mustangs, and then ran acr the fields, with several Indians hanging to the plough-handles. Every now and then the mustangs ew out on the ploughed ground and kicked “for all they were worth.” After a lit- tle while the old Don was heard to say: “What men these Americans are! How hard they work for nothing!™ And so he went back to his brush harrow. One of the characters of San Luis died a short.-time ago. He was a frontiers- man, known over thousands of square miles of mountain and valley as *‘Uncle Billy of Josephine.” He wusa griz- zled ginnt, certainly the coolest and strongest man in the region, and kept asaloon for the quicksilver miners, a postoftice and a store. He was a black- smith, a school trustee, and a few things besides, especially a wheel-horse at camp meetings. One night four Mexi- can miners in his saloon tried to rob the old man. The door was shut, but he threw the foremost Mexican through the panels into the road, and then, putting his arm about the three others, shoved them en masse through the splinters and fragments of the broken door. *‘One or two of those Mexicans stuck vheir knives into me,” said Uncle Billy afterwards, **but I never showed 1 was hurt, and after they were thrown out they crawled away.” In fact one knife thrust was clear through his arm; but on the other hand he crippled most of the Mexicaus for life, There were plenty of g the mountains fifteen yea hear of them even the mountains has an immense respect for the grizzly. An old frontiersman tells me that™ a few years ugo he was hunting stray cattle and he came on a new settler’s cabin beside an oak in a mountain valley. He stayed with the settler over night, sleepingin a blanket before the fire. During the night they heard a great noise outside. The set- tler looked hastily out and reported that a large bear was at the meat sufe, which hung under the oak tree. The froutiersman was asked to shoot it, but said he would not risk it, with only a revolver and a shotgun. The wife of the settler remarked that they were both cowards, and she would drive it off with a broom. They locked th& doov. prevented her from going out, and shortly after heard the meat safe fall and roll into the gulch. In the morn- ing they found that an old horse had become entangled in the ropes of the meat safe, and finally torn it down in his struggles and dragged it down the ravine. The old frontiersman and the new settler were obliged in self defense to retire to the headwaters of the Sun Antonio within a week and stay there until they had killed a grizzly apiece. One of the hardest cases [ ever knew was old “‘Buck” Wright who lived 1n a log cabin twenty miles west of Paso Robles, He was called “the worst man in all San Luis Obispo county to cuss vight out loud when things went wrong. Old I'axon down at Ballard’s was callea the worst men in all Sunta Barbara county to do the same thing. Wright had béen a negro driver down south before the war; Favon had been a bull puncher over in Nevada. Some fellows hid heard one of them swear and some the other; but nobody around San Luis had heard both of them. So the boys wanted a match, and put up $100. First, they tried to get Faxon to climb into a wagon they had, and go to Paso Robles to meet Wright. But®he said it wasa dry summer, and grass was searce; he hadn’t no call'to burn up all the cattle feed. Then we told that to Wright and asked him to go with us to Ballard’s, where Faxon lived, and Wright answered that he couldn’t swear worth a cent outside his own county. But folks that had known him since he was a snipe of a boy in Missouri told us he was too modest on that point. Theu the poys raised the size of the purse and 1t was finally agreed to have a match on the county line, but just before the de- tails were settied old Faxon died. When Wright came to the county he +took a schooner at San Francisco to sail down the coast, & week’s voyage to Cay ucas. The first day he was seasick and he swore so bad the sailors asked the captain to put back or they would have storms, and sure enough, headwinds began the very next day and they beat up and down the coast for two weeks. Wright's vemarks grew worse overy day till at last the captain hauled in at the mouth of the Salinus and landed him, bag and baggage, 100 miles north of his port. Wright walked the rest of the way. That was where he got the fine touches of his swesring in perfection. He came into Paso Robles barefooted. The schooner? San Luis people siy she was never heard of afterward. S TIPS TO RAILWAY PORTERS, zlies around n England Have to Say About it Themselves. The question of tipping porters at rail- way stations in England, which was raised recently at a meeting of the pro- prietors of the London & Southwestern railway, suggested the iden of taking the opinion of the porters themselves on this very moot subject. A vepre- sentative of the Pall Mall Gazette in consequence paid visits to some of the London termini and interrogated the “baggage smashers.” The aggregate opinion seems to be that the porters und guards have the real interests of the companies at heart. *If you stop the system of tipping en-~ v, said one, “'1t is certain that our wages must be increased, Well, there s0’t w compny in K ngland that could stand the racket. As it is we can near- 1y double our wages the year round out of tips, but no vallway company is going t0 double our wages. That isn’t likely.” *Look here,” said another, “'if you offer me a tip do you suppose that I’'m olng to be mug enough to refuse it? }‘I.'s all very well for l,“'nu to suy that the company pays me to do my work—that’s quite true; but my work aon’t wnclude looking after seats for the passengers, 1890.-~TWENTY-FOUR PAGE : TELLING FIGURES From the Forty-fifth Annual Report (January 1st, 1800) of the ew York Life Insurance Company ’ 844 & 848 Broadway, New York.

Yet we doall that and do it willingly. Some people take ivall asa matter of course; if so, we don't grumble and growl and refuse to do it for any one. On the contrary we are ready to do the same thing for the next person that comes along. Well, when we get a tip, say unything from 2d to 2s 6d,shouldn’t we be fools to nand it hack and say. *Excuse me, put gratuities ave not p mitted by the company’s rules?” That’s the way I look at it. “The wages of railway portets and guards,” said a third, “range from 25s. up to £5 a week. If a man can add halt as much again to his wages by accept- ing tips he isn’t likely to be foolish enough not to. Itissimple rot to talk about the system of tipping being de- grading. You might just ns well say that a man who receives money for do- ing extra work in extra hours is de- graded. It isexuctly the same thing. A porter is not obliged to do many of the things he does now with pleasure and civilty, and surely a trifling gratui- ty which udds to his power of keeping wife, family and home together has nothing of a degrading nature in it.” *‘In some stations,” said still another porter, “‘thie tips are all collected, put in a box, and divided equally. amoug the men at the end of each week. In this way the matter becomes quite a systom. Some men get more than others without doing uny more work. They are placed in more advantageoua positions—that is all. Well, a men who has to look after the third classes don’t get so much as the man who attends to the first. times it is all the other way. There may be a great many third passengers and only a few firsts. So that if all the tips are boxed and divided at the end of the year it comes fair enough.” “Would I do away with the tipping system?”? sanid an old fellow who had evidently seen many years’ service, his hand seemed to wander so naturally irto the recipient vositior. *‘No, in- deed, T would not. Why, its half my income. I don’t see how the directors are going to stop it, either. What’s to prevent you from giving me a tip when I hard your bag or rug to you? Noth- ing! Do you suppose the direct.rsare always watching us? And if some fel- low was to go and peach how would he prove the case? It is nonsense to think of putting it down; they can’t do it so long as people want to tip us and we want to take their tips. And that's about the size of it.” s o A HE MASHED A HAT, And it Will be Some Time Before He'i1 Mash Aga New York Sun: Along about the middle of the coach was a young lady— not a beautiful givl, but just ordinary. although she had a very jaunty hat and asecalskin sacque. A young man got on at Castile, who stood at the door, looked the passengers over a minute or two, and he then walked deliberately down the aisle and plumped himself down beside the egirl. As he did so there was a crash and a crush, and he sprang up to discover that he had sat down upon a bandbox and mashed it flat. . “I'm 80 S0rry—so sorr, he stam- mered, as he turned all sorts of colors. “*Mister man!” she replied, as she in- ted the ruin, **have you got $12 in sh about you?"” “W-what! I really beg your pardon. Indeed I didn’t—" HHork ovel she ing out her hand. “Twelve dollars!” “Jixactly, You have mashed a bonnet and I want the money.” “But, Miss—but—" 3y brother Bill is forward in the smoking car, and if you don’t pay I'll call him!

Twelve from fifteen leaves three, and here's the chunge from the hat. Next time you go to kerplunk down_be- side anybody look out for breakers.” “Ibeg to apologize, miss,” he plied. “0Oh, you needn’t; you got off cheup. If you hadn’t smashed the hat I'd pulled $25 worth of hair out of your head anyhow.” Everybody felt sorey for the man.
