THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, WEDN DECEMBER 9, 1891 GRAIN INSPECTION MUDDLE, Stats Offloials Point Ont a Way for a Epeedy Settlement, NEBRASKA'S ANNUAL POULTRY SHOW. Annual Exhibitof Fancy Fowls Begun With Many Fine Birds—Gen= eral News from the pital. ob., Dec. 8.—|Spocial to Tie Bee.| —**The dificultios in which the grain fnspection department is inextricably in- volved render it extremely jmprobable that any practical results will accrue to tho farmors of Nebraska unless some under- standing is arrived at and tho prosent mud- dle cleared up.”’ Thus spoko & prominent moember of the State Board of Transportation to Tie Ber ropresentative this afternoon. When asked o point w way out of the diffoulty ne con- tinued: “I believo the best thing that could be done under the circumstances would be to arrive at some understanding by which the whole grain inspection aepartmont would be undor the direction of one chief inspector. This chiof 3 should havo his headqua city will always be the center of cho grain business not only of the state butof the west. The inspection of grain at other points in the state, such as at Lincoln, F're- mont, Grand Island, Hastings, Beatrice and other prominent cities where grain ware- houses aro likely to be maintained, I would patin charge of deputly inspectors, who should report to and be responsible to the chief nspector at Omaha. Under an arrangement of this nature, the inspection business would bo groatly simpli- flod, thonsands of dollars of expense would ultinately bo saved to the state, but one standard of inspection would bo maintained and tne friction now existing between tho grain department and the State Board of Transportation would be entirely removed.” When asked to suggest an immediate solu- tion of the question the genticman said: “If Governor Thayer would, at the next monthly meeting of the Board of Transpor- tation, send in the resignations of both tho present inspectors with the statement that he had accepted them, and at the same timo announce the appointmertof but one chicf inspector—say General McBride, the present chief inspector for Lcoln, and no better appointment probably could be made, for the general has the confidence uot only of the governor but of the board—the dificulty would be clesred away, The department could at once be reorganized upon & moro practicable basis and ata less expense and the work for the naw year start out with every prospect of making the new warehouse and grain inspection law of inestimuble bene- fit to the grain raisers and grain doalers of the state."” Stuto Poultry show. The ninth annual exhibit of the Nebraska State Poultry association opened in this city today, 1n charge of L. P. Harris, secretary of the association, and his efficient deputy, Mr. Osterhout. ‘The soene inside the building was an exceedingly lively one as Tue Bre ropresentative entered. C. M.

But one case was flled with the clerk of the supreme court. It comes from Cass county and is ontitled Thomas L. Campbell vs Frank Broslus. The amount involved is only £0, and the case grew out of a disputo over a contract for a woll which Brosius had agreed to mako for Campbell. Bresius secured a judgment in the lower court which the supreme court is requosted to reverse. Put His Wife in Handcufrs, C. H.

Covumnia, 8.C., Deo, 8.—Edgefield county, noted for the many murders and lynchings that have occurred during the last forty years, Is maintalning its reputation. Yester- day Dick Lundy, colored, was shot to death in jall by a mob for the murderof James Qusets,sou of tho sheriff of Edgefieid county. Young Ousets was shot by Lundy at a sup- por last Saturday night and died yesterday mornlng, Lynching was expected yesterday and an immense crowd gathered in town. Sherlff Ousets telegraphed the governor aad fnstructions were wired to call out the Edge- fleld mfles and protect the prisover at ail costs. The lynching ocourred while the ff was absent from the jail attending his son's funeral, ‘When the governor received tha nows that Lundy bad boen lynched, he immediately offored a roward of $500 for the principal lyncher and $250 for the accessories, and instructed the state officer to proceed thero and make @ soarching investigation of the mattor, Lundy was an ex-conviot who wus son- tenced to life imprisonment in the poniten- vary for murder. He served six yoars and was pardoned by Governor Thompson. ¥ INTO LVIL WAYS, Mille: Idest Scn ‘or Stage Itobbery. Sax Fiaxcisco, Cal., Dee Kay, who is in jail at T \ charged with stage robbery, has been found to be the son of Joaquin Miller, tne ‘‘Poet of the Sierras.” Tne real name of the young man is Harey Miller. He1s 22 years of ago and is the son of the poet and the latter's first wife, Minnie Myrtle, On November 15 the Ukiah and Eureka stage was beld up nineteen miles from Ukiah by a masked man armed with a rifle. Charles Lambert, the stage driver, hastily comolied with the demand of the highwayman to throw out the express box but demurred whon ordered to hand over the mail bags, saying they were ou the inside of the stage. “Well gét down and get them,” was the robber’s response. Lambort accordingly started to drag out tho sacks. The stage was heading up grade and the horses kept backing so that Lam- bert obtained the highwayman’s permission to drive toa level place, and drove to the crost of what is known as “robbers hill." Instend of stopping when he reached the top, Lambert lashed the horses and went dashing down tho grade out of danger. Reaching Ukiah, thoe stage driver told his story to the sheriff and the latter started on the trail. He found the empty treasuro box and learned that a farm housé in the vicinity of Viliets village, five miles distant, had been robbed a few days previously of a riffe and other articles similar to those in the posses sion of the masked mau who stopped the stage, The sheriff followed the trail to Hopeland, fourteen wiles south of Ukiah, ud there learned that Miller had been cutting wood for a man named Willard, had left Willard's four days prior to the stage robbery and returncd there five days after the robbery. He obtained his mail at the postoffice and again disappeared. On_searching Willard’s woodpile the sheriff found a letter dated from the Hermit- age, Oakland Heights, which is the home of Joaquin Miller, and signed, *Your Brother, George Miller,”” The letter was addressed to Joseph McKay. e sheriff followed the fugitive to Santa Rosa, and arrested him at the hotel there. In relating the story, the sheriff said that Miller, after considerable persuasion, con- fessed, and took the sheriff to the place where the rifle and ax bad been buried. The boy's mothor, Minnie Myrtle, the first wife of the poet, was au exceedingly bright woman, whose' reputation for intellectual igor was littla short of her husband’s. She died in New York some years ago. Miiler says he was hard up, and "us there was no monoy in cuttiug wood he thought he would try stago robbery. Joaquin Miller himself does not have any- thing to do with the boy, and the Iatter says his life might have been’ different, but that he never was encouraged to go to school or make anything of himseif. He is credited with having served a sentence in the Port- 1nd, Ove., penitentiary for housebreaking, but his identity was not discovered until now. Jorquin in Jail Joseph Me: e TROOPS ORDERED OUT. Trouble Feared With the Indians at Cheyenne Agency. Mives City, Mont., Dec. 8,.—Orders have been roceived from headquarters in St. Paul for the troops at Fort Keogh to o to Cheyenne agency, as the reds are danoing in violation of the orders of tho agent, ani bave notified him that thoy intend to make an attack. Considerable unlarm is felt, aud danger is feared by settlers from roving rods benton plunder and murder, rather than from concerted action. Cuioaco, 1L, Dec. 8.—Army officers in this department ave inclined to discredit the re- ports telegraphed that the Cheyonnes at Cheyenne ageucy had goue on tne warpath. General Miles declined to be interviewed on the subject on the ground that it would be discourteous to a brother officer, as the scene of disturbance was outside of his jurisdic- tion. Captain Bl L. Higgins, one of General Miles’ aides, who is well acquainted with whe churactor of the Cheyennes, snid: “It is hardly possible that the Cheyennes would at tnis time attempt an outbreak. We have known for somo time, however, that they were dissatis- fied with the existing state of affairs, because the whites who had settled on their reserva- tion were allowed to remain, and there was evidence that the settlors would be given patents to the land on which they had set- tlea. The number of Cheyennes has been greatly overestimated in the dispatches, and instead of 2,000 there are not more than 500 ablo bodied men If they do attemptany outbreak cavalry from EF't. Keogh can reach them in & day's ride.” ———— Gesslor's MagicHeadacns Wafers, Curas a headuchos in 20 minutes, Ab all druggists GETTING RID OF PENNIES, Tons ot Coins Being Shipped from New York. New York, Dec. 8.—Tho subtreasury has succeeded in ridding itself of partof the ac- cumulation of pennies which a sbort time ago threatened to crowd all its vaults, The penuy in tho slot machines wera responsiblo for briuging the pennies hero, the hoadquar- ters of the companies owning them being as arulein this city, and the rents for them being forwarded in due course iu pennies, thus draining a good shave of the ponny sup- ply throughout the couutry. On November 20 the subtreasury had $104,000 in ponnies Stored away in its strong rooms. That meant a doad weight of money of thirty-six tons, & groat deal moro than was waated. Sinco that time the offorts of the subtreasury bhas resulted in frecing the establishment of a good share of tho embarrassment. Up to Saturday night 85,000 of pennies had been shippea. Yostorday $10,000 more was sent to other cities, Arrvangements have been made to wot vid of 815,000 more in the next days. Most of the pennies are sent from here to the mint in Philadelphia, there to be polished up and rade presentavle, Now that the boliday trade is so ncar it is ex- pected that the demand for them will in- crease, The subtreasury peopie ure rejoiced to be free from them. ——— DeWitt's Littie tarly Risers for the liver.

Mr. F. M. Smith was chosen chairman and Mr. Samuel P, Brigham secretary. Aftor the object of tho meoting was an- nounced, Mr. Brigham thought it would bo cllent schome for the merchants to have some catchy advertisement on the back of all thoir business envelopes, setting f the best merits of the eity. Thus: Omaha, the Magic City; population, 1501 vote, 2,355 sevon years old; three da papers; six banks, doing a daily business of £2,000,000; second stock yards in Ameri largest norse market in the west; the pac ing house products 35,000 cars annually to ship them and are worth $45,000,- 000, ete. Mr. E. H. wouid pe a good printed on the bac by tho merchants setting needs of the city aro. Omaha neeas a glie factory, needs a taunery,” ete. On motion Messrs, Brigham, Howland and Jarroll were ciuedn s committee to visit stock yards, commission men and pack- houses to confer with them in regard to a tem of aavertising and use in common with the merchants of an advertising cut of the stock yavds, Mossrs, Flynn, Moyniban and Hunt were appointed a committeo to confer with tho business men. Mr. Brigham arged that some means ought to bo used to induce South Omaha peovle to do their trading in their city 1ustead of going to Omaba. The bulk of the money received as salaries hero he insisted was being spent in Omaha. Ho believed that if the residents of the Magic City would patronize home in- dustry they would not only help the town but siich a’course would eventually be a sav- ing to the persou so doing of at least 5 per cent. Mr. Moynihan thought some ordinance mignt bo passed making the Omaha mer- chants secaro some permit before they could do any business in the city. This was de- clared impracticable, however, as it was in- sisted that a man could solicit on foot and deliver by wagon, and further tbat uo hindranco could be interposed whon a man wished to go to Omaha to trade and have the goods deliverod here. The matter of imposing an oceupation tax on the business and professional men of the ity to help out the financeslof the municipal- was taken up, On motion Messrs, How- land and Flyun were appointed a committee to circulate n petition to gather the opinions. of the business and professional men as to having an occupation tax of from & to $20 with the exception that saloonkeepers pay $100 or upwards. Mr. Carroll madea most empbatic kick about imposing the duties of street com- missioner ou the chief of police. He acclared thatit was poor economy for the city to do so, as the chief had enough other work to look after. He told how, near his house, three workmen consumed two days in putting 1n @& cross walk which he and anothor man, he was sure, could construct inone day. Money would be saved, be Insisted, by the city employing a competent strect commissionor. Mr. M Millan cited an example similar to that re- lated by Mr. Carroll. The latter gentleman then scored the council for past exirava- gances, On wotion the pame of “‘Business Men’s nusgcml.lon" was chosen as the title of the club. The association adjourned to meet with tho Board of Trade in an open meeting next Tuesday night if agreeable to that body.

South Omaha is today the best, business oity in the state, Money circulates more freely here, and there is less complaint about hard times than there is anywhere else in Ne- braska. Yet a lot of condemned crounkers would ruin the city if they could by mak- ing the world believe that both as individuals and as a city we are bankrupt. Suppose our city 1s in debt—what of it! We will be able to pay every cent we owe. The money spent has gone into public improve- ments—that is, it was voted for that purpose —and what was actually expended for the development of our city was surcly well spent. It could uot have boen put to a better use even if we did go in debt. Why, 1 lived in the town of Lake, the South Omaha of Chicago, when it went into debt for 1,000,000 for pub- lic improvoments, The town like South Omaha bad great packing industries, but her prospects for payimg were no better than those of South Omaha for the same amount today. Yet the money was all paid and South Omaha will pay her debts and don’t you forget it. “Just think fora moment the amount of monoy paid out here daily in the packing bouses. Itaggregates $7,400 each duy, or 244,400 per weck. I dow’t believe that the payrolls of all the industries of Omaha will compare with it, If we were twenty miles from Omaha we could build up a evlendid city, but fully 60 per cout of our earnings o to the Omaha merchants. Still, with the re- maining 40 per cent we are able' to hold our own.” Ranger Jones and the Claim Civ Joseph N. Weeth is of the opinion that Oscar P. Jones, better known as “Ranger” Jouos, who was mysteriously murdered nea Cheyénne, was willed for reasons other than those relating to disputes over cattle. Weeth says that avout thirty years ago Jones wus @ resident of Omaba and that he came in contact with the band known as the “Claim Club.” Mr. Jones' bold and fearless ussertion of what ho claimod his *'rights” and tierce opposition to the pecalinr methods of the club caused bim to be singled out ns a particular subject of persecution, He was finally driven away but Mr. Weeth says that a deéadly hatred bas always existed betwuen Jones ana certain members of tho club, and ho belioves that some former member of tho club has come contact with *Ranger” and the result was that the old foud ended in wurder, Mr. Weeth does not, however, cite any facts in connection with the murder to sustain his theory. b Increased Lighting Facilities.

England and the continent are strained to relieve the svffering now im- pending from European coreal famine.
