The amount alleged to bave been obtained by IKissell and his partner, “Duteh” Boying ton, a hackdriver, is $30, and the au- thorities claim to have secured al most conclusive evidence of the guilt of Kissell, if not of the other. A day Or 1Wo ago the jailer happened to overhear a conversation between Kissell and some of the other men in tha jail, in which he made a clean breast of the affair. Three of the men whom Lie took into ms confidence were afterwards put through a course of cross- questioning by the city marshal, and wel taken before the grand jury yesterday after noon to tell what they knew about the cas Charles Bell, another prisoner at the ci Jail, says Kissell narrated to him the details of several drugging and robbing exploits in which he had been implicated, and if half what he told was true, theve can be but lit- tie doubt as to his all around toughness. Kissell is said to have had a share in knock. ing down and robbing a traveling man on Pierce street’about four years ago, his. ac- complice being Clarley Smith, who was re leased last week after serving a term in tho penitentiary for the offense, IKissell was thought at the tine to be as deep in the mira as Smith, but he somehow managed to escupe vunishment. Now, however, there seems to be no doubt of his guilt, and the chances of him and Boyington for being sent to the pen itontiary aro very bright. ——— We have our own vinoyards in Califor nin.

One of the water tanks bhad caught lire and was burning rapidly. Only the Lower Broadway and South Main street hose companies responded to the first aiarm, but about an hour later a general alarm was sent in, which called out both the others. Before the fire was oxtiuguishod the tank was com plotely destroyed, but by hard work it was prevented from spreading to the cattle pens which stood near by. ‘The entire damage was estimated at about §700, which was cov- ared by insurance, R Walnut block and Wjyoming coal, fresh minud, received daily Thatcher, 16 Main, Small Fuilure, John Green, who has kept a boot and shoe slop at 220 Broadway for a number of years, nssigned to Bert Sheeley vesterday for the benefit of his creditors, turning over all his stock, fixtures and book accounts, Accord- N to his stutement his liabilities amount to TH EWS FRON COUNCIL BLUEFS.

S. B. Wadsworth and A, C. Giraham are among the names prominently mentioned as candidates for the oftice of mayor. Wads- worth is thought to have something of an advantage from the fact that Grabam al ready holds two oftices, which will probably injuro his chances for petting any more. Mayor Macrae is also talked of by some for asecond term. Lucius Wells is believed to havo a covotous eye on the place, and Judge W. C. James' name will again bo presented, as it has on a numoer of previous occasions, J. D, Weaver, Judge McGee, (. A. Holmes aro also mentioned, and it is believed John Schoentgen would not object to the honor if it were thrust upon bim, although he strenu ously denies having aiiy aspirations in that direction, E. L. Shugart and Alderman Wood are talked of as possibilities from a re- 1 standpoint. Stewart has astrong following for ity attornoy, and the friends of G. A, Holmes are pushivg hun forward. Like all ood pohiticians, however, Mr. Holmes de clares that he is not in the raco. Judge E I, Aylesworth, J. Gi. Tipton, Kmmet Tinley and F'rauk Trimble are also thirsting for a chance to take charge of the city's legal in- terests. A, S. Hazelton will be a republican candidate, For city marshal J. L. Templeton, the pres- ent incumbent, is a prominet candidate for re-election. He will have to fight J. J. Hatha- way, John Churchill, F. H. Guanella and his present doputy, Charles White, when it comes to the démocratic nominations, with no one knows how many other competitors in the ring, the recent failure of the council to Dass an ocdinance cutting off his fees having wonderfully quickened the candidate mar- ket. J. M.Scanlan and Theodore Guittar are mentioned by the republicans as candi- dates for the office, How many men in tho differcnt wards which elect aldermen this yvear are nursing voomlets is not yet fully known, but thero aresuro to be enough to satisfy the most greedy. Alderman Casper will undoubtedly coiae before the republicau convention as a candidate for renomination, while E. T. Waterman would be willing to carry the colors of the democratic party in’ his ward, In tbe second P. Wind, C. Bosen and V., Battin are mentioned by tho republicans, and [E. P. Bellinger, W. H. Knepher, and “Cy” Danforth by the democrats. W. A. Highsmith and . A, routman are after the democratic nomina- tion in the F'ifth and Peter Smith has al- ready nunounced himself asa candidate for re-election at the hanas of the republicans, U. IL, White and T. L. Smith are among those who have entercd the contest for tho nomination of alderman-at-large. J. C. Lange will be candidate for re-elec- tion to the oice of auditor, and it is stated that C. A, Hammer and B, J. Abbott will also bo in the ring. L. Kinnehan 1s the only candidate so far heard of forthe office of city treasurerand W. D. Hardin the only candi- date for assessor. A citizens' ticket is being strongly aavo- cated oy a number of prominent citizens both republicans and democrats, who have not becomo disheartened by the failure of the last citizens’ movement to cure every ill that threatened the city government, The ides, it is needless to say, meets with the hearty approval of a lavge number of tho present city officials, who were elected by a move of this kind, aud are now waiting to see what the prospects are for a repetition of the program of 1wo yoars ago before casting in their lots with either party.

GRIND OF THE COURTS, Sensational Divo it Brought Again to the Surfuce—Some Defaults, The divorce suit of Mary Olmstead against David R. Olmsteaq, the well kiown fruit farmer living east of the city, was again brought to the public notice yesterday by the filing of some new papers in the district court. 'The case, it will bo remembered, had some sensational circumstances, Mrs, Olm- stead having returned home after a confine- meut in the insane asylum and found her husband, according to the allegationd of the vetition, living with a Mrs. Pisher. Sho Was put out of the house when she sought to regain her former place in her husband's bome and soon after brought the suit for a divorce which is now pending. Yesteraay Mrs. Olmstead filed an application for tem- porary alimony in the sumn of §1,000, stating that sho 1s in feeble health and iu n ponniless condition. She claims that her husband is in a prosperous way financially, owning a large farm which sho has heara him say 15 worth §600 an acre. In reply to this the defendant made a showing thut he was not worth 15, 000, as the plaintiff claimed, and that he was. indebted to various parties in the sum of 3,000, and therefore not abie to furnish ali- mouy.

In the evening the local union spread a banquet at the Dellone to which a number of city and other officials were invited to meet tho delegates. Ior some reason not an ofti- cial put in an_appearance, and only one Postmaster Clarkson—sent n note of regret. But this aid not int in the least with the enjoyment of tho oceasion.

Tho upon Feast of Edibles and Oratory Rev. Dr, 1 1 Moss. A banquet was given last might at the Paxton hotel by the Omaha Baptist Social union inhonor of Rav. Dr. Lemuel Moss of Minneapolis. About eighty couples were in attendance and were seated at the tables at 0 o'clock. After tho repast Judge D. D. Gregory, toastmaster, made reference to the Athenian feats, and compared the banguet to them. Then he introduceda L. 1. Holmes, who tousted “Our Guests” in response. Letters of regret were read from Rev. A. W. Lamar, who was to have toasted ‘‘The Bapusts,” Rev., Woods and Rev. O. A. Williams, all of whom #aid they welcomed Dr. Moss. The toast, ‘Omaha,” was responded to by Rev. K. W. Foster. He congratulated the Baptists of this city. They had passed by the history and gone through the struggles of the early days. He extolled the increase in population and religion of the city, but at the same time he did not think there were enough churches in Omaha. He believed Christianity would be more popular if there wero more sociability in the churches and among the people. At some future time ho expected tosce atleast 10,000 Baptists in Omaba. Rev. S, P. Wilcox responded to the toast, ‘‘Baptist Ruths, or the Sisternood," followed by Rev, Lemuel Moss. He said the Baptists should ‘bea spirited body, & spiritual and inspiriting body, aad then drifted off into humorous stories. The banquet was a very elaborate affair. ALL OVER TWO DRINKS, Barkeeper Charles ¥ Stabbed by a Negro Who Had No M James Wood, a nogro, went into Mont- gomery & Adams' saloon, IFourteenth and Dodgo streets, just before midnight and callod for a drink. He got it, and then called for another. After putting this last nail in his coffin, ‘Wood quietly remarked that he had no money and consequently could not settle the liitle bill. His behavior angered Bartender Charles Hunt, and he ordered him out of the place. ‘Phe negro went at once, his steps being has- tened by the flourishing of a mallet by Hunt. After tho saloon had been closed Wood at- tempted to enter again. The barkeeper took down the bars to the door ana told him to go away. Hot words followed and the negro pulled a long knifo and made a slash at Hunt's face, just as the burkeeper hit the negro with the mallet. Hunt got the worst of the deal, for the knife blade cuta gash in his face from the car to the chin, and sliding downward made alongslash in his vest. The negro was knocked down and when ho regained bis feet found a big bruiso over his right eye. T'ho barkeeper hustlod out to find a doctor and his face was sewed up by Dr, Sumney, Ofticer Boyle founa Wood sitting on the curbstone at tho corner of Fourteenth and Douglas streets bleeding copiously and took lim in as a drunk. At thestation the wound was dressed and Wood locked up. i Organized a District Assembly, The labor alliance was to have had its meeting last mght in Central Labor union hall, but as John W. Hay: goneral secre tary of the Kuights of Labor, returned after asix weeks' visit in tho west, a meeting of nineteen assemblies of the Knights of Labor of Omaha and South Omaha was held and organized as a district assembly., This body will displaco the old countv assembly and have full power to iutervene and settlo sy and all labor troubles that muy arise between the local assemolies and emplovers.

Not long ago Mr. Mor- vis Butler, son of John M.

METHODS OF 'THE PATENT OFFICE, <o Foltowe “by the Author of an ention te Protect His Rights Obtaining it. —~Conty « B To the inveutor'the all important question presents Itself, “How can I securea patent!” and to this Tus Bes Bureau offers the fol lowing explanation : Inventors as A class are not familiar with the laws under which letters patent aro granted, the forms and practico in tho patent and the technical methods of casting specifications and claims to properly protect their inventions against infringers, yet the value of the patent and its valigity depend largely upon the careful and expert preparation of the case. Specifications must be drawn to fully dis close the invention, to distinguish botween whatis new and what is old, and claims, upon which the value and validity of tho patent depend, must be cast “to fully cover the invention yet not to encroach upon pat- ents already grantod. Iailure in eithor of these respects often renders the patent value- less orvoid, The employment of counsel skilled in patent law 1s therefors usually a prerequisita to the proper prosecution of a case and a grant of a valuablo patent. Many inventors suffer the loss of benefits that should be derived from valuable inven- tions owing to insufiicient protection by pat- ets procured through incompetent ‘or care- less agents, ete, For What Granted, Under tho laws of the United States let- ters patont are granted to any person who has invented or discovered any new and use ful ary, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, or has inventod any new or useful improvement thereon. Term of Patent, A patent is granted for seveuteen yoars, during which time the owner has sole and exciusive right to make, use and sell the natented inveution. . How to I Tor economic reasons before making ap- plication to the patent oflice for a patent, the novelty and patentability of the inven- tion should be ascertained, because, if the iuvention is not new or not patentable an unnecessary oxpense is curred by filing an application” on which a putent can never be nted, ote, The tirst thing to be done is to find out whether or not the invention is new and patentable. For advice on the point it is necessary to send to the bureau a rough or complete sketch or a_ photograph of the invention, to- gether with a brief description thereof, setting forth the object of tho improve- ments, tho arrangement of the parts and the advantages attained. While a modei is very seldom necessary, yet it is often of great assistance. ; The latier can be made of any cheap material, ar.d will be returned 1f a request is made to that, effect. “Upon receipt of the data mentioned =ufiic- ient'to enable the invention to be understood our counsel will at once examine thereinto, and will advise without charge what is the best course to pursue and will express an opinion, from their knowledgo of the arts and patents already geanted, as to the patent- ability of the invention, In this connection it is recommended that the best und safest course is to have a special scarch made in the patent oftice to ascertain whether or not the inventfon has been heretufore patented. 'I'he advantage of such a search is that it no anticipating patent is discovered the dpplication can be filed with a greater decreo of cortainty. whereas if tho invention is found to be old all further ex- pense is avolded. The costof a search of this nature is §5, and with the report of the result thereof the inventor will be furnished with copies of such patents, if any, as em-, brace his ideas. It is much better to have this search made in the outset before incur ring any expense whatever regarding the ap- plication for patent. I 1t is found that he inven tion is new and patentable the clientis advised to proceod with the filing of an application for patent, and will then be requested to remit $15 to cover the first government fee and & in payment of cost of drawing, when one is necessary. As soon as nosstble after the receipt of this remittance the specification of the invention will be carefully prepared and forwarded to the inventor, togother with forms for application for patent ready for exccution. Upon return of tho latter tho case will bo promptly filed at the patent office and notice will be sént when action is had there- on, and also of the nature of such action. ‘The examining corps of the patent office is divided into thirty-two divisions, among ‘which the applications are divided according 1o the official classification. The condition of the work in tho various divisions varies trom one to five months in arrears.

The questions involved are many, and of the most intricate nature. It 1s al- ways a matter of such great importance that n0 ono should ever claim thav another is in- fringing on his rights, or, likewise, no atten- tion should be paid to the claims of infrmge- ment by others until the questions involved are carefully passed upon by a reliablo at- torney. I'or such services the charzes aro aways fair and reasonable. Forelgn Patents, In addition 1o the bureau's facilities for attending to the incerests of its inventor-pat- rons before the United States patent offico and courts, it 1s also enabled to procure patents for inventions in all countries of the world. In many of the foreign coun- tries, notably Canada, Enzland and Ger- many, patents for inventions previously patented in this country are looked upon with great favor, and inventors are there very frequently more likely to realizo profits from their inventions than they are even in this country. _'T'he cost of foreign patents varies with "different cases, but as a_general rule the expenses of procuring patents, cov ering all charges, is about as follows: Canaaa, £50; England, $); Germany, $0. France, $55; Spain, $00; Balgium, 850, A ditional information regarding the cost, ete., 1n any foreign country will bo furnished by letter on application. ~ In all such requests mention having read these instructions in Tue BEE. Tmportant Warning It seems remariable that in this enlight- ened age it becomes the duty of every re- Jiable and trust'vorthy attorney in patent matters toadvise his clients to. beware of tho many sharks who set out with the ap- parent intention of defrauding inventors immea1ately ufter the 1ssue of their patents. When a patent appears in the I’atent Office (iazette patentees are beset with inuumer- able offers, solicitations, requests, etc., some pretencing to want to purchase their patents, whilo others offer to take an interest therein under promise of procuring foreign patents. The sole object of these peopla is to obtain money from inventors, and they never make the slightest endeavor to carry out their groundless or worthless promises. Models, As herainbefore mentioned, models are not. required in the patent office except in intri- cato or complicated cases, But at the same time when an invention can bo better ex- plained by a model it is well to send tha same tous.

What He € nsiders His Starting Point to N Life, A pretty story of a romance in the life of Speaker Crisp comes from Georgia While the speaker was o struggling voung lawyer in Ellaville he fell il love with a Miss Clara Burton, but his atten- tions were discouraged by her father, who naturally wanted his daughtor to marry well from o money point of view. The ‘old gentleman was firm and the young couple slightly discouraged. The young lawver, but freshly admit- ted tothe bar, lived in his oftice) n room in the old court house. Herc wero all his worldly possessions—a few law books, abed, ateunk and a few chairs. At this juncture he was taken sicl, and in his cheerless room was attendod by his physician, Dr. J. N. Cheney. Miss Burton had arranged it that the doetor should keep her woll advised us 10 the condition of his patient; that he should iet her know his exact condition, concealing nothing: and in ono of his communications to her he betrayed an uneasiness as to the vesult of the case, {mmediately this young woman, do- spite her fathor’s well known oppositic requested the doctor to_deal hone and candidly with herand to inform her whether her young lover was having that care and attention which he should have, and notified him that if he was in need of particular tender nursing and watehful caae, she would come at'once to his lonely chamber and have the mur- riage ceremony between them porformed s0 that she could properly care for und nurse him. i This proved the turning point in Judge Crisp’s life, When the physician read this note to the sick man it proved tho nceded medicine in his case. e was at onee inspired, The discouragements incident to poverty in the case of strug- gling young men_had hitherto posessed and dominated him. But then and there he banished forever all hopelessness and despair of tho futureand in evidence said to his professional friend: “Get me up from this bed. ITence forth il be a man. My life shall be consecrated to & woman witl: such pluck as that. 1 Will marry her dospito my | poverty, and she shall nover be ashamed of me.” Ho has kept his wol b Captain C. B.
