Secretary Koontz today | exprossed tho determination of the board | sy emphatically, The law provides that | all elevators or storchouses where grain or | other property is stored for a componsation, | whether the property stored be kept separate | ormnot, are public warehouses, The pro- | prietors, lesseos, or managors of those ware houses are required to procure a license from | the State Board of Transportation und also to give the toard a bond in the sum of £10,000 conditioned on the full and unreserved com- | pliance with the law., The penalty for tho | failure, negicet or refusal to_comply with tho | law in the rospects above rofer ata fine of from £100 to 00, to is tixed | and it is the duty of the voard to enforce the provisions of the law. There are elevators and warchouses in | every town of any considorable size in Ne- braska, and up to date but comparatively fow of then have been licensed by tho Stato Board of Transportation, The mem- bers of the board propose to enforeo the law strictly to the letter, and unloss the elevator and waretouse men ‘walk up to the captain’s office with their £ for a licenso and s bond for 10,000 thoy will answer for their neglect to the courts, Cement Rock in Nebrask The commissioners of labor aro_anxious to enter into correspondonco with all parties in Nebraska owning quarries of coment rock. A syndicate from New York stands ready to negotiate with all such parties with a view to the establishuent of cement factories. Two such quarries aro known to exist in Nobraska, one at Beatrico and one at Sidvey. The Beatrice quarry was at one time oper- ated, but the high price of coal and the rates of transportation preveated the profitabl manufacturo at tho time. Commissioners Ludden ano Downs have taken an active nterest in the matter and it 1s_probable that the manufacturo of coment at Beatrice will bo resumed under the most favorable aus- pices. The railroad companies have already agreod to establish commodity rates on the manufactured product, aod arrangements have been perfected for bringing in steam coal at a most reasona ble rate, Notarial Commissions Issued.

Gray and othors, while the city of Lincoln is tho defendant. The plaintifis had the contracts for puving districts 1and 2 with cedar blocks, and they claim a balanco due them on their coutract of &2,267, with interest from September 1550, The plaintiffs claim to bo special partners for the purpose of filling this contract ouly, and the firm is composed of Naugle & Gray, who furuished the blocks, Murphy, who did the work, and H. vk and L. C. Burr, who furnished the capital. for Burr, whuo tho ron the firm aro represented by C. O. Wheedon, J.D. Howo and J. L. Webster. Tno d fondant's caso is bemg conducted by (. A. Adams. The city is seeking to set upa counterclaim, a_valanco alleged to bo duo from H. I.

The case prom- ises to b one of tho most hotly contosted logal batties evor waged 1n Lincoln, Hard Road to Travel. L. . Coy has discovered that the way through the divorco court, liko the celebrated highway to Jordan, is a rocky road to travel. Somo time ago he filad & petition for a ai- vorco from his wife Auua . on the grounds of unfaithfulness. This afternoon Anna filed @ oross-petition in which sho shows up the ast conduct of her erstwhile lord and master n @ most unenviable light. She says that ho Las neglected to provide for her and that 8o has been compelled to take in washing in order to feed and clothe horself and chitd, while all_the time Coy was earning a good salary. She further alleges that he has on. gaged in the most disgusting intrigues with other wowen and that he has constantly an- noyed her by telling her about it. Shao denies all of the charges made in his original peti- tion and winds up by asking for a reasonable alimony sud the custody of their child. Result of a Panic in a Church. Buck klder and Georgo Maniey, the two colored youths who dispersed u whole con- grogation last evening and engaged in a row that led to a greater or loss amount of blood shed, were in court touay.

SWEE HEART. B. Pound apvears g members of SLOAN'S 8ho Objects to Having Officers Open Her Love Letters. D. E. Long of Fromont belioves that ho has a grievance that should be righted by the United States court. He has consulted Attorney Bakor about the matter and bis griovance will bo laid before the Ualted States grand jury. Mr. Long claims that his family nas been dragged befora the public in o diseraceful maoner by tho publication of tho fact that Biv daughter corresponded with Sloan, the Foutanelie murderer now in jail at Blair. Sloan’s hiding place in Lowa was said to have been discovered by the interception of & lotter which ho haa writtea to Miss Long. Tho girl's father now desires to have Josh Kiog and other partios, who are supposed to have opened tho letter, prosecuted. United States Attorney Baker assured Mr, Long that if the grand Jury should return a bill of iudictnent = agalust King or soybody eliso for tawperiug with Miss Loog’s lotter before it had been takon at of the postofiice he would prosecuto with all his energy, hut he doubtea very much whether the grand jury would consider the caseserious enough to Justify tho fluding of an indietment. The fact that a murdorer had been caught by the intercepting of tho lotter, ha bolieved, would go 8 long ways toward mitigating the offense of meddling with the mails Mr. Baker said ho would awalt the action of tho grand jury. He would not tako tha rosponsibility of ordoring an arrest, for in his estimation a conviction would be very hard o obtain u such a ¢ —— - HE MET GLAD Mo jor Furay's Delightful Experience With the Fire and Police Commission. All of the members of the Board of Publio Works attended the meeting held yesterday aftornoon. Major Furay who, as a committes of one, had been beforo the Kire and Police com- mission, was rosdy with his report. He pre- sented himself for the purpose of askiug the co-operation of that body in an effort to com- pel grading contractors to use tight boxoes when tinuling dirt over paved streots. The major said that he had been received very kinaly, in fact he had beon received in such manner that he was fully convinced that tho memoers of the. Firo and Police com mission were without spot or blemish thero were no crows' nests lingering about their persons. and in their own estimation thoy were as flue-haired gentlemen as he had seen for many a long day. Ho felt happy 10 knowing that he got away with his life, as he was sat upon by several members. Tho high toned Cody had attached all of the blamo to tho Board of Public Works, The mujor had denied this in emphatic terms, whereupon Mr. Hartman had said that the contractor had left ['arnam streot, at I hirty- third, in such a condition that the'stréet rail- way company had been compelled to put on a force of men with picks and shovels in order 10 clear the stecet for the passage of 1ts car: o this Major Furay had veplied that in all such cases estimates had been withheld uatil the streets had been cleared. To make a long story short, ho had received no encouragement. Ho thought the fault lay tn the Polico departmeut. Caief Seavey had lold him that men had been arrested for fating the dirt hauling ordinance, but when they got into police court the casos had al- ways been dismissed, Eugineer Tillson thought the ordinance was good enough i€ enforced. “That's it,” replied Major Furay, “we've wot tho ordinance, but we tack a police court, and I want to tell you that i any well regu> lated city one-half of the men who are now hauling dirt from the new postoftice block would be arrested and fined. They use wagons with loose bottoms and the streets over which they pass are nothing but a sea of mud.” The major was commended for the show- ing that he made before the commissioners and also for retreating in such splendid order. Tho board had asked for proposals for curbing T'wenty-second stroot from Popple- ton avenue to the south line of the gover: ment corral, but there wero no bids. The contract for constructing the sewer in Sprague street from Twenty-fourth to Thir- tieth street, was awarded to Hamaon & Donald at 43 cents for eight-inch pine, & for manholes and 3 for fush tanks. el s Caligraph operators are convincad thatlif o 13 too short to write with the pen. MILITARY MATTERS. Coming ot a Notable Wedding—Cap- tain Ray's Vindication. Licutenant William B. Hughes, chief quartermaster of the Department of the Platte, will leave carly in December for Florence, Italy, upon a four months’ leave of absence. Colonel Hughes will jom his wife and daughter, who have been iu Italy for nearly tureo vears. Thoy will spend the winter in southern Europe. A very inter— esting _matrimonial ovent is expected soon after Colonel Hughes arrives in Florence. Miss Eisie Bonton Hughes, the colonel’s daughter, will be united in mar- riago with Captain G.'F. Newport-Tinley of the First Bombay lancers (“Duke of Con- naught’s Own"). Captain Tinley is a son of Major General Robert Newport-Tinley of the British army. Both families are dis- tinguished. Miss Hughes is a_great-gran daughtor of Colonel Thomas H. Benton of the United States. Sho is highly arcom- plished and very beautiful. The approach- ing wedding g a pleusant ripple of exvitement in army circles. Major Bmil Adam of the Sixth cavalry has been removed from Fort Niobrara to Fort Washakie. Major Edgar R. Kelloge of the Eightl in- fantry hus been relieved from duty at Fort Washakio and will procoea to Fort MeKin- noy and take station at that post. [t will be remembered that Major Kellogg is the oflicer who preferrod charges against Captain Ray and ordered hum urrested. The fact that Captain Kay was released from arrest by command of General Brooke and Major Kel- logg is now transferred to another post may bo read pretty clearly as being in Captain Ray’s favor by those famfliur with army dis- cipline. e Dewitt’s Little Early Risers, best piils, S — SU UNCLE SaM.

The Straln Abroad OCauses Some Anxi- ety—Confidence Displayed in All Branches of Trade—Money Easy, Collections Fair, New Yonk, Nov.27.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s wookly reviaw of trado says: A woek broken by a holiday has shown the usual teristics—weak speculation, ac tive retail and moderato wholesalo businoss. But the great factors which go to make national prosperity are unaltered. At Boston the markets are steady. At Hartford it is dull for dry goodsand materials, but good for groceries and hardware. At Philadelpbia there is a moderate activity in dry goods and in dress koods and hosiery, and a botter feol ing provails, At Pittsburg pig iron is weaker, but mauufactured iron and steel are in good domand and the glass trade fair. At Cleve- land trade 1s good in all lines, excenting a a less aemand for manufactured iron. At Detroit. business is equal to Iast year’s and and manufacturers aro active, At Cincin- nati rotail trade is improving and manufactur- ers are fairly employed. At Chicago some de- croase is seon in cured nioats, lard, butter ana cheese, but thero is a slight n, ley, 20'per cent in flour, the week's tradoe boing tho largest of the year, an increase of a third 1 cattle and oats, of a haif in hides, and receipts of drossed boeef and corn a double last year's, and_of ryeand wh three times last year's. Merchandise sales also largely excocd those of last year and prospects are favorable. Thero is the same confidenco in St. Paul, as cold weather stimu lates trade, and Minucapolis sawmills b closed the largest season on record, whils flour mills, though troubled by ice, turn out 25,000 barrals duily. At Milwaukeo trade is satisfactory, but larger with tho west, where crops and money are plenty. At Kansas City there is healthy activity, and eattle aud grain receipts improve. At Denver trado is very good, but at Salt Lake iv is dull, with slow collections. Southern cities report better: at Nashvillo and Montgomery, fair trade; at Charleston, good, with improving exports; at Now Orleans, receipts of cotton aud sugar aro large and both in good demand, and Sa- vannah alone reports prosont trade light and money no easior, but prospects bright, Speculation during the past weel has not boen active here, but a corner at Chicago has put up corn for immediate delivery 3c and pork is 2ic higher; oats 115c, and wheat five- eights of a cent per bushel higher, while cot- ton and sugar are very heavy. The receipts of cotton exceed thoso of the samo woek last year by 50,000, and_exports by 92,000 bales, but the stock in the country at the time is more than 8,000,000 bushels for tho full week and exports have been 1,300,000 bushels of wheat alone from Atlanti¢_ports for threo days of the present week, Corn is coming forward fairly and aiter November a sharp docline in price is expected. Oil and coffeo show no considerable change. The volume of speculation in most lines is fortunately so restricted that legitimate bus ness and the movement of products are not at present, classed. Tn the great industries tho outlook is 1m- proved. There is a better demand for iron. On the wholo there are evidences of enor- mous consumpticr: alroady, nearly oqual to the production, with prospects of an increase noxt year. The market for copper is unset- tled, tin is shghtly ngher, lead unchanged and coal dull, with 3,250,000 tons allotted for December. Tho market for woolen goods distinctly improves with colder weather, though some holders make light concession$ on old stocks. Cotton goods are fairly active, though print clotus accumulate, Money is comparatively easy and collec- tacns fuir, Tho oxports of products weoks at New York have last year's by #7,401,452 in value, indicating an aggregato' for tho month probably exceeding 395,000,000 and at the same time thore is a decrease of 10 per cent ir. the value of imports. There is certain to bo very large balances payable on merchan- dise account by Europe, and much anxiety appears in some quarters as to how tho strain abroad will be met, but thus far there are no signs of trouble except in speculativo quarters. It 15 to be remembered also that this country is at present unusuaily independent of for- ign disasters or disturbance: Tho business failures occurring through- out the country during the last soven du numbered 205, a8 compared with a_total of 255 last week. For the corresponding weok last year the figures were 240, in four exceeded LAST WEEK'S CLEARINGS. Gross Exchanzes of the Country as Re- ported by the kanks. New Youk, Nov. 27.—The foliowing table, practical cossation 'of gold Imports. Tho general toudoncy of Wae market has beon in the direction of tnprayement. It cannot be said that the bullishness s of an oaggressive kind, It fact, the principal advances that weke scored wore in the stocks which had.been sold ieavily short by the bsars, and the upward movement would therefore seem to refiect tho fears of tho professionals rather than any influx of buying by the “‘street™ orthe public. Atthe same time the ease of money, with a stoady incroase in the investment demand for bonds, supplemonts the forasiof tho large trafe and ournings roturns whieh the railroads almost without exception are wmaking, or of such sig- nificant occurrences as the declaration (after seven years' suspension) of a dividend on Erie preferred tenconrages favorable antici- pations. As a result, while the market is narrow, it also tends to show decided strongth, and the goneral speculative foeling leans in the direction of a bullish closo to tho current vear. This was particularly d played on Friday when the unexpected an nouncoment of the failure of Field, Lindley & Co. created only a ripplo and a tem porary depression, from which the market quickly recovered, closing firm, “The coal stocks were again the most prom ent features. The bears continued their attack on the group, but met with an unex- pocted obstacle to progress in the shape of the conl agents’ moeting to settia the produc- tions for the month of Dacember. The meet- ing was harmonious. The output for the month was reduced to 3,510,000 tons, and nothiug was said about Reading's demand for an increased percentage. The lone neglected Omaha stocks became prominent on reports of an increased dividond rate. Minneapolis & St. Louis was aiso the subject of a bull movement.

Question of the Indians' Rights as Citizans Engenlers an Election Contest, JUDGE CRAWFORD AFTER JUDGE NORRIS, Points on Which the Election in the Bighth Judicial District is Sup- posed to Hinge—Was Gorey- mandered. ton. W. F. Norris of Ponca, judgoe of the Eighth judicial district, is i tho city and stopping at the Millard. Tho judge was a candidate for re-election on the republican and independent tickets, and the official returos give him a majority of 82 votes. His olection is to he contested, however, by the democratic candidate, Judge J. C. Caawford of West Point. “I have bad no ofticial notice of a contest,” said Judge Norris, when asked about tho matter, “nor huve I been served with a copy of a complaint, but I havo been toid that con- test proceedings bave boen begun, and pro- sume that the report is correct. My only knowledge of tho questions raised by Judge Crawford comes from hearsay. I am told that ho will raise the point that tho Winnebago Indians on the reservation in Thurston county aro not qualiied to vote, The Dawes bill, under which they wero sup- posed to have gamed citizensmp. proviaes, as precedent thereto, that ‘they must sever their tribal relations and take iands in so alty.’ The Omahas have taken their ments of land and received patents therefor, L understand that the \Winncbagoes have met all the conditions of the Dawes bill, but for some unexplained reason have not receivod patents for theirlands. They had been vot- « without question previous to tho recent election, and 1 have hud somo of them serv- ingon my juries. The Winnebagoos have about 300 votes and they wave me a mujority of sixty-nine, so that if their eutiro voto bo thrown out I will still have a majority in the distriet. T am also told that Juage Crawford will set up a number of technical irvegularitics. In Dixon county my name was printed on tho ballots in two pliaces, once as a republic once as an independent candidate, On s of the ballots a cross was markoed opp wy name in both places, and Judge Crawford will hold that such votes should not bo counted for me. ‘Then, awain, on some bal- lots my name was printed *William . Nor. ! and on others ‘W. I, Norris. “The contest, if there bo any, will come up in the suprome court of the state. That body has held that an Indisu has 1o _prima facie right to vote, In the caseof the Winna- bagoes, thercfore, the burden of proof will fall upon me. I will have to show that they have complied with the congressional act and are full-fledged citizens.” This is tho second time that yudge Norvis has defeated Judgo Crawford. At the last session of the legislaturo the democrats suc. ceeded in having the districtgereymandered, and tno frequent presence of Judzo Craw ford in Lincoln duriug that session 1s com mented on os significant.
