H. NEW FOR THE ARMY, Report of the Senate Committeo on the Outhwalte Military Measure, Wasntyaroy, D, C., March 7.—[Special to Tur Bee.|—Senator Proctor, who was until " recently secrotary of war, has reported to tho senate from the committee on military affairs the Outhwaite bill, which has been passed by the house, relating to lineal promotions in the army. The senate strikes out all but ono section. In bis report Senator Proctor says the bill in the form in which it passed: the house would benefit many individual cases, 1t was also found that enactmont of the bill would unsettle the rélative position of rank between offivors that has been maintained according Lo existing law for a quarter of a century. In its intent and meaning tho bill will affect almost every officer of the army, dnd consequently it has excited a wider in- terest among tho officers thau any bill which has had, for years, the consideration of con- Kkress. 0 “‘Whatever 1pcongruities aud anomalies may have resulted from the regimental sys- tom of prowotion,” says Senutor Proctor in the comuntteo report, “while it was in opera- tion it was the logal tom to which persons eutering the army voluntarily subjected themselves, We deem it advisable, and it certainly is absolutely fair, to supersede it by the lineal systom for the future; but’ it would be in” tue highest degree unjust to make the lutter retronctive, and thus dis- turb well scttled title to rank. Every per- son who accepted a regimental commission as lieutenant in_tho rogular army, whether on graduation from tho academy, or promo- tion from the ranks, after service in the vol- unteers, or from ocivil life without pre- the acting chairman of tho committes, and during the coming wooks of strugglo over the tanff construction Mr. McMitlin' will be the conspicuous leader of tho tarif tinkorers. Thinks Prohibition u Success. At the fifty-eighth annual reunion of the Congressional Temperance society here last - night Representative Pickler of South Da- kota announced himself in the boldest terms 'as & prohivitionist pure and simple ana op- posed to any sort of & license law, high or low, because he believed it was wrong to license a wrong. This declaration having been loudly applauded, Mr. Pickler went on 10 say that the ultimato result of all tem- Earnnw agitation and effort must be prohi- itidn. He was surprised that this nation tolorated the liquor evil for a ingle yoar. The conduct of Chili and oo dispute over a sealing privilego in Bering sea could create great national ex- citement, but the destruction of thousands of . Americans anpually and the impoverishment of many thousapds wore was barely mon- tioned. ~Temperance people’he thought were rhaps a littlo to blame for this indifference. I3 they would only unite for one year they “would sweep the accursed traffic out of ex- istence. Hurriedly, but clearly, the South Dakotlan produced testimony to show the advance made in temperance during the pust few years. He said he was surprised sud pleased at the sobriety of congress. His ex- perionce was not in accord with what ne had eard of congross before he came to Wash- ngton. He folt, sure the end of the liquor trafio was much nearer than most temper- , @nce people imagine. Prohibition in tho city of. Washington would be an _accomplished fact if the church zolugpeo?le of Washing- wndwould but make up their minds to it, he saud. Sloux City's Packing Interests. Today Representative Perking of Sioux City called on Secretary Rusk to consult him in reference to the abpointment of meat in- spectors for tho packing houses of Sioux City, He directed the attention off the socro- tary to the fact that the house on Saturday -passed the bill appropriating $150,000 for carrying on the inspection work, and to the * further fact thab the puckers of Sioux City .are at a disadvantago 1 the eastern markets because they are unable to secure tho tags which guarautes the wholesomaness of the meat products. The Bgcretary said that Senator Allison had promised to briog the appropriation bi)l up in the senate tomorrow and that as #o0n as this is done and the bill is signed he will appoint a sufficient staff of inspecting oficers to warrant the placing of the product of the pecking houses of that city with .~Qméha and other points. Miscellaneous, 1In the senate tod: enator Pettigrew pre- sénted the petitions of forty-seven citizens of _Brookings county, of fiftecn citizens of Min- _nanaba county, of forty-one citizens of Huteh- ‘ulson county, of twenty-five citizens of Moody county, of thirty-three citizens of Hanson county and of twenty-five citizens of McCook county, South Dakota, all against Bny change in the duty on barley. Assistant Secretary Chanaler affirmed the decision in the homestead entry supplemental roof contest of John C. Snyder agalust enry C. Murphy from Huron, S. D, a . missing the contest. Colonel Grant, assistant secrotary of wai ‘was seen by Representative Perkins foday clative to the Ibro]iunud removal of Major Powell, the engineer officer in charge of the Woris on the upper Missouri from Sioux City, whero bLis headquarters now are, back io Bismarck. The secrotury called Mr, Per- kin's attontion to a letter from the North Da- kqta delogation whick was sent to them some days’ago in which it was pointed out very oloarly that 1t would not be for the best in- terests of the service to make tue change. He intimuated that there was no present in tantion in the War department, of trausfer- ring the bheadqusrters from Sioux City to , * Bismarck or any other point. Altorney General Miller bas promised to deelde this week tha questioas relative to the vight of way of the Hennepin canal. It is sald that as a result the work of survey will §0 00 At ouce, Assistant Secretary Chandler afirmed the decision of the commissioner in timber culture roof case of Edward M. Klevio, heir of John Klevin, deccased, entryman from the North Platte district, rejecting the proof for 1D roason that at the date of the final proof there were uot upon the tract the number of growing trees required by law. He also 8 ‘Brmed the decision in the homestead contest of Norman E Ladd agaiust Peter Chifford of Niobrara in favor of contest and cancelling =2 entry of the clalmant. Senator Paddock toduy presented in the seuale the following petitions: That of J. N. Souder_and seventeen other citizons of Herman, Washington county, Neb., urging that free delivery and oollection of mail ma! © ter be extend to every postoffice in the sottled portious of the country; of George Wolfe and twenty other citizens of Wash- ington county urging the passage of the Butterworth ~ bill defining ‘*‘options and futures;” of C. W. Mevers and eleven other citizens of Laneoln protesting agaiust tho xemoval of the Ute ludians from Colorado sud urging increased appropriations for Jndian education as the cheapest, most hon- ©st and humane solution of the Indian prob- lem, and thatof A. L. Clarke snd twenty- oue other citlzens of Hastiugs protesting vious ' military servico, knew that under tho existing . law promotion to tho grade of captain would depond on cas- uaities occurring within his regiment. As an illustration of the working of this law it may be remarked that a number of rezular regiments did not reach the seat of the lato war at all, and in consequence promotion in these regiments were much slower than in others that were attached to the armies in the flald. Would it be properat this late date to make good to such of the officors of these regiments as are still on thv active list the losses in promotion thus mcurred? “Tho bill ignores the greater responsi- bility imposed upon the higher commauds oxoreised by ndividual officers as comparod with others of longer commissioned service. Ono of the results of this measure would bo its effect upou the discipline and upon the porsonal relations of officers in the army. The committee is of opinion that all that is - required in view of the public interests and rights of all concerned is to repeal tne pro- viso, in the law ‘approved October 1, 189), which is as follows: “That in the line of the army all officers now above she grade of sec- ond lieutenant shall, subject to. such examin- ation, ve entitled to promotion in accoraance with'existing laws and regulations.’ " Orders of Yesterday.

HIS SKULL WAS . HORRIBLY CRUSHED Govarnor Boyd I Re- ©rav xtra Sessio fonds His Aotion In s the Legislature Influsnced by fusing n Interests of the Stat Lixcory, Neb,, March [Special Tele- gram to T Bee.|—Honry Kinsoy, a brake- man on No. 77, the Denver fast freight, was killed this morning somowhero between Creto and Sutton. Kinsey lived at 1504 Vine stroet, this city. He was omployed by tho company six months ago as a brakeman under tho name of George Emery, for what roason it is not apparent. I'wo mouths ago ha was mar- ried and leaves a wite and mother in this city. He was last seen at Crote and being missed when the train reached Sutton, search was instituted and the body found lying on the top of a ocar, stone dead with his skull crushed in. As there is no overhead bridge along the line it is supposed ho was attacked by tramps and murderod with a coupling pin. Superintendont Bignell went out tnis after- n0oon to conauct an investigation on the part of the company. A coroner’s jury is invostigating the case, but bas adjourned till tomorrow merning to ot the evidonce of the conductor and others on the train, Governor ¥ Q'8 Defense. Governor Boyd sald to o Bzr reprosenta- tive this afternoon that Tk Bre is wholly wistaken when it states that ho was either cajoled, importuned or bulidozod by railroad omissaties to givo up the idea of calling an oxtra sossion, He says the facts arg that ho bas neither conversed with nor has he bad any communication of any kind from any manager or omployo of a_railroad in re- Rard 1o the calling of an _extra session. Ho says thero was no prossure, that he was wware of, brought to bear by the railroads and 1fsuch had been the case it would have availod nothing. He savs Tue Bee is laboring under a mistake and that the principal roason why an extra session was not called was that judging from statements mado to him in black and white (rom tewn- bers of the legislature—and still in his pos- session—a reasonaole rate bill would not bave been passed and he would have boon confronted with a bill similar to the Now- berry measure or one equally as radical and obnoxious.. Besides the democratic members who favored the calling of an extra session did so with the expressed undorstanding that he (the goverpor) would first satisfy himself that gooa results would bo accom- vlished. In the Courts. Judge Lansing ran up against a snag today while hearing the claims in_the estate of Zuchariah Wells, late of Sprague. ‘Four young women who claimed to have once borne the name of Wells came into court and demanded some £1,500 between them for ser- vices rendered as domestics avd corn shuck- ers for the deceased. The other heirs set up that the cinimants were children of their mother, but were born before .Zuchariah as- sumed the responsibility of husband and in reality have no visible father. The four re- torted that Zachavish hus, 1 addition to his Nobraska brood, somo children scattered around through Kentucky, and that if the Nebraska heirs don’t do what is right by tho claimants they will inform the Kentucky Wells of the cash in store for them here, and then there will be more trouble. Judge Hall this morning gave Reuben S. Risser a verdict for $1,950 against the Amori- can Biscuit Manufacturing compal which operates the cracker factory in this city. Risser was employed thero last August when an elevator fell with him. The company failed to make any answer or appearance and judgment was rendered by default. Judge Hall and & jury are trying tie case of William Jameson against Walter A. Cole and Edward A. Sacwett. Jameson is a farmer living in Cass, county, and he olaims that the defendants took advantago of his - experience-and lack of knowledge of the world and did him up to the tune of 3,000 by selling him a third interest in a store at ‘Weeping Water, representing that it was in a prosperous condition, but after he was in it a short time tho firm was compelled to sus- pend. The defendants claim that Jameson porsisted in breaking into the business, and when he succeeded wanted to run a long non- pareil store on primer capital. William F\. Sutheit tolls the court that Wi~ liam Strine, a real estate man, got him to trade him some nice julcy Lincola property for a quarter section in Hayes county that was warranted to be as pretty as a Lincoln girl. William traded but says he found it was the worst land in the county ana could not be cultivated. He thinks he has been damuged about $1,200, and in addition wants back the §50 he paid as commission. An unusual case was tried in county court today. It was that of Louise Carey against Hardy & Pitcher, brought under a statute which provides that if a mortgagee fails to remove from the files a mortzage within ten days after uotification that all 1ts conditions have been fulfilled he shall forfeit to the mortgagor the sum of $50.

Reginning with the second, he declares that tho baroness was a resident of the state for more than ninet days precoding (he commencoment of the action. The interssting portion of tho decis- ion runs as follows “‘That sinco their marriage the baron has beon guilty of acts of extreme cruelty toward the baroness which have inflicted grievous mental sufferings upon hor, The acts con- sisted of repeated violent exhibitions of ill temper and unmerited consure in the pres enco of ovhers, and finully culminating on the 1 of June, 1510, in tho baron spiriting ty the custody and con- two minor children upou n away from tho soc trol of his wifo he | the protext that she was in an unbalanced state of mind: that her children were in danger of being affected by her molady. to their groat detriment, il they wero allowoed to be with hor. In justification of this acty tho baron -presents the cortificates of cortain physicians, ono of whom is o re nowned specialist on nervous aiseases, The extont of the acquaintance of said physi- ciuns with the baroness were insuflicient for any human being to base or form an intelli- gont and just opinion on, and for this reason the court finds that the children were spir- ited away from their mother without just cause, the daughter being placed in a con- vent by a schemo which it would not be doing violence to reasonable inference to find was, in its inception, intended to eud 1n tho fncarceration of tho mother, and was sufficiont to warrant the plaintiff in ceasing to live and cobabit with the bavron. The conclusion of the law is to the offact that the marriage is dissolved and both {ree from the obligations thereof.” The custody ot the minor child, Margaret Eugenie and Abel Victorine de Steurs, is given to the mother, as she requosted in her orig- inal complaint. The barouess 18 still ill at the Caract, be- g slightly better than at any time since her illuess which followed tho trial. Im- modiately after the filing of the docree a marriago license was issued by the olerk of the court, permitting the marriage of Mar- garet de Steurs and Elliott Zeborowski. This brings tho whole trial 1o a climax which .will be a surprise to the New York friends of each. Zevorowski isa New Yorker of im- mense wealth, being the owner of the Broad way theater. He has been the constant companion of the baroness through all her troubles and it is a fitting ending to the suf- fering of an American woman in the hands of a foreign diplomat. It is undecided when the macrioge will take place, but will occur in all likelthood tonight. The press corre- spondent called on H. A. Shipman, the New York attorney for the baroness, and asked if he had any statement to make with regard to the marriage with Zeborowski and the Baroness de Steurs,‘and he declared there was absolutely nothing to say. 0 certifi- cate is good until used.

Beg vldg FOR PARKS AND VIADUCTS South 8ide Oitizens Express Their Senti- ments on Two Important Matters, THEY WANT A PAIR OF BOTH AT ONCE Syndicate Park and the Clark Tract Looked Upon With Favor—Glories of the South Side and the Urgent TY ducts, In response to a published call a largo eathering of south sido citizens assembled last evening in Muclier’s hall ut Eighteenth d Vioton. When President William Kolbe called tho meeting to order he stated that tho members of the South Sido Im- provement club had been called togethier to discuss the Syndicate park question. Judge Hascall stated that tho proprietors of Syndicate park had offered fifty-three acres aud driveways for $30.000, which was really tho valuo of inprovements that had been made. He thoughtit dirt cheap but was in favor of having the proprietors make amap showing the tract and tho roadways to get in and out of 1t. Dick O'Keeffo thought that the main thing was to get parks and roadways would come as a matter of necessity. He was in favor of urging the pirk commiseioners to clinch the bargain as soon as possible to get possession of Syndicate park. Dan O'Kecfe said he was in favor of hav- ing both Syndicate park and the Clark and Murray vracts. He wanted to know what assurance the city had that Tom Murray woula make good his promise to give tho city 8 few acres. Ho paid his respects to the Fifth Ward Kickers' club, aud urged that a post be erected for thein to kick against. Ho said that the Fifth warders wero advocating tho purchase of the Distin tract, not one foot of which was inside the city limits, whoreas the proposed tracts on the south side were not only inside the limits, but less than one- third as far from the center of tho city. Dick O'Keeffa vouchsated the information that maoy of the Fifth ward kickers were men who did not pay a cont of taxes, and as far as actual values went the purchase of tho proposed south side tracts for $3,000 would give the city five times as much as would the vxpenditure of the remaining §340,000 on the north sido of K'arnam street. Hascall did not think that the entire north side should be held responsivle for the utter- ances of a man with more mouth than brains. (George Bertrand extolied the natural beau- ties of the south side parks, and Frank Kas- per gave tho twin park project a boost. Frank Crawford stated as a reprosonta- tive of the Seventh ward that the citizens of his ward wero in favor of the latter tracts. Has- A committeo consisting of Messr call, Easley, Donovan and O'Ke pointed to confer with the Sg company to secure a map of Synaicate park, showing roadways and outlets, and havo it- brought before the boara at the next meet ing of the park commissioners. Mr. Hascall moved that it bo the sense of the meeting, representing the First, Second and Soventh wards, that both tracts should bo purchased, as the joint cost woula be within the limt, and it carried unanimously. Took Up the Viaducts, That disposed of the park matter and Has- call then moved that the council be requestod to pass the ordinance ordering the _eroction of viaducts on Fifteeath and Sixteenth streots. It was seconded by Mr. Kasper, who stated that tho railronds wero continually working against the city, and now that tho city had the power in its own hands, it was advisable to bring the stiff necked corpora- tions to time. Ho thought that any- council- man who would not vote for the ordinance did not represent the wishes and interests of the property owners of any pact of the city. Mr. Hascall thought that lawing took time and if 1t had to be entored upon it could not bo begun too soon. C. Stabman advised requosting the council to ciose the Sixteenth street viaduct, now that it has been condemned, and then thore would be some kicking that would do some good. W, H. Gatewood said that he worked on the Sixteenth street viaduct last year when it was being repaired, and the stringers were too rotten 1 hold nails. He found it neces- sary to put on cleats to nail the planks to,and an ordinary wind swayed it very perceptibly. He thought it might stand the passage of & heavy train, or several of them, and then the next one smasn 1t down, Hascall thougnt the raiiroads had been treated well in Omaha and deserved as well at their hands as eastern cities, where all thoroughfares are bridged. Mr. Crawford stated that ata meeting in the Seveuth ward it was the provailing senti- ment that there should be a viaduct on Martha street ruoning east and west, and that an ordinance would be introduced at the council meeting tonight providing for the erection ot a viaduct on that stroet. Mr. Hascall said that it was genezally un- derstood that neither councilmen from the Seventh ward would support a wviaduct ordinance, and he did not think it well to load the project down with so many viaducts 83 to endangor the passage of any of them. Councilmen Promise Support, Mr. Crawford smid that Chaffee promised on Saturday ovening to_support both the Fifteenth, Sixtoenth and Martha stroet via- duct ordinaunces, and that Mr. Steel aud Mr. Howel! would do the same, Mr. Hascall sald he wonld take back what hesaid, in part, as ho had forgotten that Mr Howell was a councilman from the Seventh ward, and he knew he had expressed himself as in favor of it. Mr. Bertrand said that tho railroads were doing o ereater business now than ever be fore and could build moro cheaply now than at any other timo Mr. Bachelor advisod taking ono thing at a time, taking first the one needed most. Ho snid that if the city started for too many things at once the railroads would get the different sections of the city divided and fighting each otier and the public would finally got nothing. Dan O'Keofe said thata vinduct on Martha streat was i nocessity, as all children west of Twenty-fourth street had to cross tho tracks to got to a city school without going iuto anothor district. The motion calling for threo viaducts car ried unanimously. - THINK THE LAW A DEAD LETTER. tions That Railroads Ignore pterstato Commerce Commission. (o » 1L, Marcn 7.—A morning paper devotos two pages to tho rosults of an fu vestigation mado by its reprosentatives in Minnesota, fowa, Missouri and Nebraska, in regard to tho workings of the interstate commerce law. The various interviows with shippors, railroad men and state officials indicate that viola- tions of the law are wmore genoral and flagrant than has generally been sup- posed. Laree shippors are favored against tho small ones at all commercial centers, sometimes by a svstem of rebates, some times by other devices accomplishing the samo end. The conclusion is that tho law 18 not only a dead letter throughout the west, but that it is adetrimentto public interest bo- cause it has had tho cffoct of ruining what- evor was gained by tho old pooling systom in the matter of stability of rates. Thero aro shippers and railroad mon in Chicago who talk much in tho same strain, though the majority of them say the situa tion is not sn bad as it is painted. As a rule, of course, tho oficials of railroud companies argue tbat tho only way to put a stop to socret rate cutting is o logalize pooling, and yet overy ouo of them is roady to swear that his company is oboying tho law to the letter. W. I. Morrison of the Interstate Com- morco commission said today that further legislation to amend the law will s00n be in- troduced and the law mado moro eficient. Ho does not think the violations aro as numerous or widespread as have beon mado to appear in somo quarters. Notwithstanding the reported bad condi- tion of country roads in Illnois, lowa and Nebraska, thero was a further _inoresse in the volume of eastbound traffic from Chicago last weak. 'Tho total number of tons of dead j freight carried oastwara by all lines was 100,612, against 07,074 during the procoding week and 71,514 'during tho corresponding week last year. Traflic Manager Busenbark of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City road has returnod from a visit to tho Missouri river points reachod by that system, where ho held con- ferences with wholesalo merchants relative to giving thom botter torms and greater ad- vantages in the matter of freight rates than thoy have herctofore had. The troubie be- tweon the Chicago westbouna roads having transmissouri lines of their own over tho movement _recently inaugurated by tho rail- road commissioners of Kansas for 4 reduc. tion of fifth class rates in that stato has in- duced tho Maple Leaf peoplo to favor a fat rato for tho benofit of Kansas City, St. Jo- seph and Leavenworth joboors.

Jan, 18, 1802, To whom It May Concern: This is to_certify that I have boen a constant sufferer for many years with catarch, asthma and bronchial affec- tions of the throat. and tried all the patent medicines and romedies I ever heard of, but with no success. I treated with doctors in various parts of the country, but none of them could do me any good furthor than giving mo shor tomporary relief. I suffored night an- day. and continued to grow worse not withstanding all the medicine I had taken. I had almost givon up my case a8 hn‘ml\:yu when 1 was informed by a friend of Dr. C. Gee Wo, the Chinese doctor, and ndvised to go and seo him in the hope of getting relief at least, if not a permunent cure for my trouble. I was slow in making up my mind to make such a radical change 10 my treatment, a8 I knew a trial with the Chinese doc tor would bring me, but I finally con - cluded to give him a trial, so I cailed at his office with that intention. T round the doctor a clever, entertaining gontie- man, thoroughly posted on my condi- tion, and it took only a vory short time to convince mo that he was the party [ was 80 long in sew of. He told me cuse was curable, and that he could o me, and propared me a special treatment to suit my condition, and in two weeks I was 0 much better that I had the fullest confidence in the doctor's ability and committed my case to his treatment. I continued to grow batier rapi and am now entirely well, I owe my cure to Dr. C. Gee Wo, and am not ashamed to admit it. T advise all who want relief from their troubles to call on Dr. C. Gee Wo, and they will be cured. For all particulars apply or write to MARTIN L. ANDERSON, 8121 Cuming St., Cmaha, Neb. DR. C.
