SENATOR PLUMB'S DEVOTION. He Was the Ftrongest Advioats of Westarn Int:rasts in the Country, TESTIMONY OF A NEBRASKA FRIEND, Stan u p of His Genius on Many Mease Thit Have Been F in Recent Years nacted Lincoln News. LiscoLy, Neb,, Dec. 28, —|Special to Tue Bk, |—Senator Paddock called ot the state nouse this afternoon and paid his respects to Governor Thayor, Treasurer Hill and other state officers, Tho senator is looking ex tremoly well, and has just returned from Kansas, whero he went to attend the funeral of the late Senator Plumb, To a little group of newspaper reporters in Treasurer Hill's ofMice he spoke feolingly of the death of the Kansas statesman, and said that in nis death the west l0st one of the best friends it had in publie lif ‘Senator Plumb was probably of western csts in the States senate,”’ sald Senator Pad “and bis death i3 a serous blow to the west. He is a strong man, an able man, and his inflienco in the senate was ever exerted for tho people of the states, I'he sturap of his genius is on a great many measures that have been ennciea in recent years, and it will be many years be- fore his pluce in the senate can be filled. enator Paddock spoke hopofully of his pure food bill, now on the senate fils for the secona time ““I'ne bill will mmwuhlulll\' e- come a law at this session of congress,” said the senator. “I do not anticipate much oppo sition, either in the senate or in the house. Last session | endeavored to have the bill at- tached to one of the appropriation bills, and would have succeeded had not a motion been made to substitute tho Conger lard bill. As it was, my biil only lacked one vote of puss- ing the senate.” Referring to tho Chilian complications, the senator remarked : “I'here s probably been as much misrep rosentation about the relations between the United States and Cuili as about anything that has come up within recent years. Io the first place, the roports sent to Knglish newspapers from irresponsiole individuals in Chill, who are prejudiced against this couu- try and who would be glad to see the two countries involved in a serious dificulty, are distorted and not to be relied upon in the least. I firmly believe that when the whole truth 13 known DMinister Egan will recoive & splendia vindication. His conduct all through the controversy has been aignified ana will, T fool conlident, roceive the approbation of the whole people. As far as_the mdiculous re- ports of a difference of opinion in regard to Chilian affairs existing between the presi- dont and tho secretary of state are concernod they aro not worthy of the slightest consid- eration. There has never been a time in the history of the country when the executive and state departments were more fully in accord than thoy are in regard to the present hilian complications.” The senator leaves this evening for Omaha where bo will look after private interests. He does uot expect to return to tho national capital until about the Gth of Junuary. In the Supr me Court, A somewhat celobrated case reached the supreme court today from Buftalo couaty. It ls the suit which grew out of the injunc- tion sworn out by William Nash to restrain the mayor and city council of Kearney from delivering £75,000 of bonds that bad been voted to aid in the construction of the Kearney & Black Hills railroad. When the caso was first tried Nusi alleged that the bonds werc voted through misrepresentation and fraud and that the amount exceoded the levy. He was defeated in tho lower court, In the trial of the caso certain parties wero accused of porju ed and uro now serving terms in the state penitontiary for the crimo. ‘Tho case comes to the supreme court on Nash's appeal, as he was worsted in tho district court. The case of Andrew B. Olson was filed with the clerk of the su- preme ‘court today. In February, 1850, Olsen purchased from one Auderson'a lot in irand View addition to the city of Omah giviug us part payment a note for §00.

Some live coals had fallen from tho baso burner and kindled a blazo in tho floor. Tho floor soon burned away from under the stove, precipl- tating the buse burner into the basement. The crash of the falling stovo wwakened Mr. Crawford in time to save s property from complete destruction.
