The attendance from other portions of the state 1s not 8o large as was anticipated, but it is expected by evening the absent dele- gates will put in an appoaranco and make the convention tho most liberally attended and interesting of any former gathering.

Curtis, D.D, fol- lowed by the rendition of asong by the dele- gates, Prosident Sawyer called the conven tion to order in a fow well chosen words and introduced Mayor Weir, who delivered an adaress of welcome, complimenting the so- cloty upon the excellent results of its work and the growth of the organization. On behalf of the association, President Sawyer responded in a happy vein, review- ingithe work ot the association and outlining the great work befora it which would be ac- complished in the future. Rev. J. H. Bradford of Washington, D. C. secretary of the national association, was it troduced to the meeting and read an interest- ing paper upon the work of the society. f'n-numm Sawyer and Rev. Dr. Curtis wero named & committee to make up a list of com- mittees to be appointed at the ufternoon ses- sion. The hour of noon arriving, theconven- tirn adjourned to meot at 2 o'clock. Shortly after 2 o'clock the convention re- assembled. and there was a notable increase in the number of delegates in attendance over tho morning session. The afternoon meeting was taken up with the discussion of numerous subjects, among which were: “What Is the Best Plan for Providing Agalost Boys Becoming Tramps{”’ “Should Boys Be Imprisoned or Givena Few Days to Leave Town for Larceny, Tramping or Petty Offenses?’ *“What Is the Best Plan to Prevent Gambling Among Street Boys?" The subjects were discussed av some length by the delegates, and it is expocted that the interchange of ideas will result in much good. Supreme Court Proceedings. The supreme court of Nebraska was in sos- jon today. B. I. Cochran of Omaha was admittea to practice. A large number of cases wero argued and submitted, including the following: Lobeck vs Lee, Sun Fire office vs Ayerst, Connell vs Galligher, Bank of Commerce vs Hart, American Water Works company vs Dougherty, Janes vs Howell, Baldwin vs Douglas county, Lantry s Parker, Wistedt vs Beckman, Brown vs Feogins, Zink vs State and State ex rel, Snell vs Westcott on demvurrer. The last case is ono in which the people of Lavcaster county are particularly interested. The case involves the right of J. H. Westcott tosit as a member of the Board of Commissioners at Lancaster county. Attornoy Suell, who ap- peared for the county, contended that under the law of 1591 Lancaster county was not en- titled to more than threo commissioners. In 1850 the legistature had increased the number of commissioners for counties containing a population of 70,000 from three to five. Under this law three new commissioners were elected: W. I3. Churchill, I\ J. Dickson and J. H. McGraw. The law passed by the leg- islature of 1801 provided for the old number of commissioners, It took effect August 1, 1801, and in accordanco with its provisions the commirsioners” redistricted Lancaster county, making three commissioner districts. Alva Brown was the retiring membey and Westcott was elected to take kis place. The county attorney argues that there was no vacancy to fill and consequently Mr. West- cott is not entitled to sit ns a commissioner. Upon their part, Westcott's attorneys con- tended that the law of 1880, incrohsing the number of commissioners, was uunconstitu- tiopal. inasmuch as it provided for tive com- missioners in counties then having 70,000 population, but made no provision tor those which therealter might attan that nu.ber. ‘Westcott's stterneys also attacked the legality of the election of Churchill and Me- Graw, averring that the last clause of thé sct stated that but one commissioner shall be elected each year. The case was taken under advisement. Looks Like Business. Adjutant General Cole this afternoon re- colyed the following telegram from J. C. Kelton, adjutant geaeral of the United Statos army: ' ‘“Pleaso forward at ouce military ro- turns requested last November and again cn the 15th inst., o bo furnished to congress on the first Monday in Fobruary.” In the ab- sence of General Cole Governor Thayer ro- plied that the returns tad been made out and were ou their way to Washington.

A letter was recaived from A, B, Deming of Hurlan county thanking the Boavd of ‘Transportation for their kindly offices in se- ©caving the return of a $10 overcharge mado by the Elkhorn road. Ralsed n Fine Polnt, An exceedingly fine point of law was raised in Judge Lansing's court today in the case of Nelson Westover and F. G. Kaufman vs 0. P, Dinges, chief of the Lincoln police. It is anotner of the cases growing out of the ice raid on the Ivy Loaf gamblors last Sep- mber, After the resort had been raided, the gamblers undertook to replevin the im- rl.munll of their profession wiich were locked up in the city vaults, Chief Dinges rofused to give them up, whereupon they at- tompted to force the vault. While engaged in their safe-breaking tactics they were ar- rested and afterwards swore out & writ of habeas corpus. They complain that Chief Dioges made & false return on the latter writ, and they bring suit aganst him for $200, whicn they clalm the statutes entitle them to. Chief Dinges makes & purely tech- niocal defeuse. He contends that he had re. leased tho two men before the writ of habeas corpus had been served upon him, and conseqiicntly that his return that the prlzonrn were not in his custody was cor- rec Odds and Ends, In tho United States courts today judg- ments against J.

Murderer Fox Given His Preliminary Hear- ing— h Omahn Notes, The dingy and begrimea South Omaha po- lice court room was crowded to suffocation long before Nicholas Fox,the wife murderer, was brought in to have his prelimiuary hear- ing for the crime. The prisoner eatered about 10 o'clock, ac- companied by Deputy Sheriff Lou Grebe. As Fox entered the gruesome place he hung his head, but cast furtive glances from the corners of his eyes. Helooked well fed and in excellent physi- cal condition. To conceal the scar oo his throat inflicted with suicidal intent he wore a handkerchief about his neck. When the tostimony was being heard ho sat behind his attorney with a dogged, sullen look on his face and did not iift his eyes from the floor half a dozen times. Attorneys Ma- honey and Doud appeared for tho prosecu- tion. Dr. Slabaugh was the first, witness called. His evidence aud that of Dr. Allison were virtually the same, the two having made the postmortem examination, and testified that the bullet wound in the side caused the womar’s death, Lou_ Grebe submitted a chart showing the plan of the house whero the tragedy occurred. Mr. Dougherty told of meeting Fox just after the shooting. Fox told him that he had shot his wife and cut his own throat. Mr, I. A. Sherman, the father of the niur- dered woman, testitied that about 4:80 a. m.. December 22, he heard a scream outside and a moment later Mrs, Fox rushed in holding her hands to her side and exclaimed: “Father, Nick has shot me. There is a big hole in my side.” Outside the door he saw Fox who was pursuing his wife. The flight of Fox and the pursuit by the sons were de- tailed. ‘Uhe twitness then gave the dying statoment of his daughter: *‘Father 1 am sinking fast and can’t bo with you lone. Nick put the revolver to my head after he shot me in the side and he tried to shoot me in the head, but the revoiyer snapped.’’ Dick wterposed some vigorous but frait- less kicks against the admission of this testi- mony. Ho claimed that it could not be a dying statement because it was made four or five hours befors she died, Mahoncy de- clared that a dying statement could be made two weeks before death and have all tho sig- nificance of an assertion made with the last breath, The court held accordingly. Sherman went through the cross-examina- tion witkout weakening his eviderce at any point. Chief of Police Brennan exhibited the re- volver taken from Fox. One cartridge was exploded. Three of the others had dents, showing that an attempt had been made to discharge them, At this juncture Fox’s attornoy decided to waive all further examination of witnesses, The prosecution agreed to this and the mur- vil’eyler was held to the district court without ail. roved C on of Farmers, G. W. Rogers, a well known stock dealer of Indianola, was at the yards yesterday and in roviewing the situation in his vicinity re- marked that the western country fared re- markably well this seuson as compared with times a year ago. Many a farmer who a year ago was on the verge of bankruptey came out this season in good shape and with avother favorable year the finaucial standing of the agricultural section will be, he believes, on a sound basis, Lands that sold for what the mortgage called for a year ago are now sell- ing as high as they did before ths short sea- son. There are about 4,000 cattlo feeding in Red Willow county alone against practically nous last season. Returned th onds. ‘Tho controversy between Norton Bros. and City Clerk Ryan over the $1,745.15 in bonds overpaid by Ryan to the Nortons is finally at an end. The contractors decided to return the bonds aud torminate all the troublg that has been caused by their retention, Accord- ingly yestorday afternoon they returned the bonds to the city clerk. Ryanis happy and all hostilities will now cease. ‘' bonds have proved o source of contin- ual trouble to the Nortoas since thoy came in their posses: The contractors have been 1n fail twice aud a civil suit is now pending, which of course will b dismissed.

Flowery Kingdom Subjects Wil Make Their Good Resolutions This Week, The celebration of the Chineso New Year begins this week and will last a fortnight. In Omaha the new year is observed by the Chinese, but their celebration and festivities are not what thoy arein Chicago, Denver, Butte City, San Francisco, Portland, and otaer towns whero the number of Chinamen is large. Dr. C. Gee Wo of this city last year gave the members of his race a big dinner, but he says this vear's celebration will not be so grand, as there areonly about or 100 Chinamen here. The first day of the new vear, which will be rriday, will be observed by the Chinamen refraining from eating any meat or live food. The second day they can eat a liitle chicken, he sa; Their delica- cies also consist of shark fins and birds’ nest soup. ‘Where thore is a large representation of Chinamen social calls are made during the two weeks of New Years. They appear in flowing vale blue robes, surtoutof flesh-color raw silk, baby blue trousers and bright yel- low sandals, Queues are done up in fancy rosettes and Tuvkish cigarettes are generally smoked. In these garbs, those who can af- ford it, make their roalls, leave their gaudy New Yeur's cards and pass the compliments of the season. In towns whero they have organizations of t'recmasons the New Year celebration is much more elaborate.

BEE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY SPRICES 27, THREE ENGINES 1§ A WRECK Smash Up at the Union Dapot That Was Disastrous to Property. 1892, OCCASIONED BY A MISPLACED SWITCH & M. engines are in the shops for ropairs because of a triune wreck that oc curred at the Union depot avout 8 o'clock yestorday morning. Just by shoer good luck no one was so verely hurt, but tho smash up will make a $10,000 hole in the company’s treasury. A misplaced switch was tho cause. Tho outgo'ng Lincoln passenger train was standing on tho flrst track in front of the do- pot, and tho engine, No. 108, in charge of Engiveor Frank Kuhn and Fireman C. A. Erwin, bad boon detached and pullea ahead to take water. Engineer W. T. Lee and Fireman J. M. Fau, on No. 10, had just pulled 1n from South Omaha with a combin ation baggage Md express car which was to go south on the Kansas City road, and stopped a few foet from No. 108, waiting for an opportunity to pull up to the tauk, Tne switch behind No. 19 was left open, and ut this interesting juncturo a freig train from tho west came in sizht around the sharp curve only a few rods away. On the engine, No, 243, wero Engineer George Driffson and Fireman Dolan, and an attempt was mado to stop when the mis- placed switch was discovered, but it was on a down grade, the rails were' slippery with frost and the éngino of the freight crashed into No. 10 ata speed of twelve or fifteen miles an hour. The shook threw No. 19 and the combina- tion car back agaiust No. 108, and tho dam- ago was done. The engino crews jumped just before tho crash cama and were unin jured, with thé exception of Fireman Dolan, Whose left wrist was severely sprainod. Engino No, 243 was very badly damaged. Tho front end was entirely torn away, sho was thrown from her forward trucks and the drivers left the rai The entire machino was badly wrenched and will have to be entirely overhauled. Steam was kept up, however, and the engine was able to run to the shops when replaced on the rails a few hours later. Nos. 19 and 108 both had their headlights and pilots smashed, The combination car lost both platforms and was considerably disarranged. The first car of the freight train was a_load of corn, and the entire for. ward end of it was torn’ away and several wagon loads of yellow kernels wero scat- tered over the surrounding neighborhood. The wreck did not delay travel to any great extent, and atnoon all evidences of it bad been cleared away. The engineer of the freight expected that tho switch would be set as usual to throw his train to the second track, and the sharp curvo prevented bim from seeing it until he was almost upon it. He claimed that he ‘was runniog no faster than usual through the yards, though there seoms to be a dis- position in certain quarters te censure him in this particular. He had a light train, which alone prevented a more serious acel- dent, as greater headway would have in- sured the smasning of the train of passencer coaches only a couple of car lengths from tho water tank.

SHOEMAKER'S ANSWER. City 8 Case, Ex-Assistant, y Attorney W. S. Shoe- maker, who was citod to appoar before the United States conrt at Lincoln and show cause why ho should not be held to be in contempt of court for an alleged violation of an ovder issucd by Judgo Dundy restraining tho city of Omaha and others from unlaw- lslllrwlxlg Made at Lincoln in the Kansas fully interfering with or making any umawful scizures of a cortain _obscene publication emanatiug from the city on the banks of tho Kaw river, presented a lengthy defense in which he set forth that in everything he did he was acting under the statutes of Nebraska enacted for tho protection of the merals aud well being of the ci 08 of suid state. Mr. Shoemaker also showed tnat some of tho correspondents in the cuse were acting under and by virtue of a city ordinance. Ho also asserted that the constitutional ystem of this country loft to the individual states the power to establish ordinary police regulations and that right cannot be taken from them, eitber wholly or in part; neither can the natioual government, through any of its departments or officers, assume any su- pervision of the police regulations of the state, Mr. Shoemaker further claimed that the city ordinance referred to spoaks in general terms an4 applies to all papers of the charac- ter prohibited, whether printed or published in the state or elsewhere, and hence does not come in conflict with the constitution of the United States. It was suggested that tho constitution of overy stuto ia the union coptained express provisions touching upon freedom of the press, and yet each state had the right to make police regulations toucking the pub- lishing, selling or giving away of obscene lit- erature or such literature vs tended to cor- rupt public morals, aud so long as there was no discrimination in the state laws against citizens or publications of other states, but such luws applied to all alike within the jur- isdiction of " tho state, the protection of the freedom of tho press must be left with the state courts, After suggesting that, because the plaintiff lived 1n Missouri, he bad uo more rights in Nebraska than a citizen of this state, and that he bad ample remedy at law, Mr. Shoe. maker argued that ap equity court had no Jjurisdiction to futerefere with the aamims- tration of the criminal laws of tne state or the ordinances of the city of a criminal pa- ture. - WeErinG Water, Neb,, Oct. 28, 1800, Dr. Moore, My Dear I have just bought the third bottle of your I'ree of Life.

A NEW FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH Ponce de Leon Outdone by a New Hamp- shire Man, A Herald Man Goes to the Granite State, Sees the Fy untain, and Investi- gates the Wonderful Stories Told of Its Mysterious Powers—The Many Who Drink It, and Wi mous I What a pity it is that Ponco de Leon, when he started out on that little expedition to find the fountain of youth, was not as suc- cessful as that greater voyager with whom ho sailed first! This is the Columbus year, und everybody is thinking or talking more or less about tho Worla's fair and the discovery of .xmerica— to put thingsin the orderof their importance but if Ponce de Leon had found his fountain there would not have been any necessity for the World’s fair, for everybody would have remained young, ana would huve had no conception of the 400 years that have passed. But suppose that Ponce de Leon had had a little different idea. The historians may have misrepresented hum, He may have been merely looking for a fountain, or, say, a pure spriug, whose waters would cure his rheumatism and assist his digestion, and make him feel better all over. Looking for a spring of this nature would not be a very un (ri“mnmo thing for & man to do, even to~ ay. But Ponce do Leon did not find the spring, because ho did not look in the right place. He hunted all over Florida, but the spring was in New England, though, of course, ho could not be expected to know that, since New England was not then down in the maps of the school gaographics. The real Ponce de Leon—the man who did discover the Fountain of Youth—is stll liv- ing in New Hampshire. He is an old man now, but e Discovered the Spring which those who know it call the Fountain of Youth, when he was a boy. The boy who discovered the spring is over S0 years old, and is still active and in good heaith. The spring is now called Londondery Lithia spring, whose waters are druvk today by millions of people, sick and well, all over the world, Thero are two reasons why they drink it. Ono is because they like it and the other 1s because it is good for them, and they know it, Why they like it is of no consequen. They dv and that 1s enough. But ~hy it is goad for them is another matter, though that too, is soon and simply told.

I'rom the spring the water is hauled by taams, in barrels, 1o tho bottling establish- | ment. Mr. Barr, general froight agent of tho Boston & Maine railroad, told the city when they matter of a wradd g, that he shifted during the year, Fully 1,000 Cars, londed with the Londonderry Lithia water, One redson for the inereaso 1n the business of bottling and shipping the water no doubt, lies in the attitude that the best doctors hava taken in regard to Londonderry. They knew what lithium was good for thirty years ago, but they never succceded in- compounding it in such a way 0 make it very sutisfactorg: or to make it when compounded, the equal of some of the best Kuropean spring waters, ely they have been trying the Londons water for rheumatism and gout, and for certain diseases of the kidney and blad- der. They have voiced tneir soitiments in no uncertain sound. The company’s safo at Nashua coutains a volumo of voluntary ine dorsements of the water by promiuent doce tors on this side aud the other side of the water. The company has in press now a book mado up entirely of theso indorsements, and it is for this purpose that they are pro- served.

Henry of New York paid it as high a comploment it snying: “Itis, in my judgment, the bess of all the spring waters of an alkaline nature, containing lithia and other uricacid solvents, now before the public and the profession,” Within a few years this water from the New Hampshire spring bas almost. entirel driven out many of the older table waters, It is found in all the swell clubs, for the doctors have said that it1s of special service to tha club man who is a good liver; you find it at Young's, where it is the most popular of all the light drinks; you find it at the Parker, the Tremont, tho 'Veudome, th Adams—in fael, at_overy good hotel in tho city of Bos- ton, and it 15 equully popular 1n othor cities, It s used in enormous quantitios in all tho clubs of New York and Chicago, fu both of which cities tho sales are so laviza as o wars rant the estaplishwent of local offices, Aud so, although the water of this Lons donderry’ Lithia spring will not mako the whito bair of an old man black again, or cura balduess, it does make him voung again by making him well; by taking tho stiffnoss from his joints and froeing his_system from poisous that make mm oid if loft there then, is it not o fountnin of youth or of genito geniine as the one for which the Spaniard searched so earnestly 33) years agof E.

When & man succeeds in business, or pro. fessional life, or in any financial enterprise he may eogage in, he naturally makes some use of his increased income, He is apt to improve his styls of living, Ho develops & taste for quail on toast, for larded grouse and pate de fois gras, all of which are very choice morsels. Hutafter a while he finds that he cannot eatas much as he used to, or eat the same thiugs. Heis more or less troubled with rheumatism and gout. His kianeys and bladder are not just rigkt: and his physiclan will tell him that he hasu tendency to the formation of brickdust, ealculi, and poisoning by uric acid. This is one way, and tho usual professional wuy, of telling him that by eatirg so much rich food he is putting more work than they can stand on his kidnoys and bladder, and these organs are unable t eliminate from the system all the uric acid that 1s formed. Now, uric acid is not an agreeablo thing to write about, aud it is a still more aisagree- able thing 1o havo in the system, When tho calculi are formed --that is, when the ‘‘brick aust” crystalizes into little nodules that the man calls gravel—it 1s very hacd to dissolve them, You might as well try to dissolve a bullet in a pan of wilk asto try to dissolve a caleulus in common water. But lithium bas some effect on these caleuli, It helps to dissolve them, although no drug- gist bas yot succeeded in so compounding it that iv will, Glve Perfect Results, In Londonderry, N.

When tno ers began to be popular through the country alittle spring houss was built over the low.
