FAVORS FOR UTAH MORMONS Wiolators of the Edmunds Measure Will Be Granted Amnesty. HOW THE PRESIDENT REGARDS THE CASE Blo Believes Polygamy ¥as Been Perma- nently Aban ¥ « Some Doubt as to the Scope the Proposed Move, Wasnivatoy Bureav or e Bre, 513 FOURTERNTH STRERT, President Harrison has at last dofil'lhl'l.v made up his mind to grant amoesty to Utah's violators of the Idmunds anti-polygamy act, in accordance with the petition of Presi- dent Woodrnff and the Morman church. As noted in Tue Ber specials, the president from tho outset oxpressed a desire to grant tho prayer of tho petitioners but ho hesitated to act until he had fully satisfied nimsell that the goneral pardoning power under the constitution empowered bim to remove tho political disabilities of a class, The thorough investigation of the law bearing upon the question made by the then solicitor “genoral and now Judge W. H. Taft, has satisfied both Attorney Gen- eral Miller aod the president ol his full warrant for such action. President Harrison is now undetermined as to whether he will grant a general amnesty to all parties convicted of violation of tho act of 1883, i cluding those convicted of polygamy, unia’ ful cohabitation and other kindred idiosyn- cracies, or whether he will confine it to mem- bers of the Mormon church convicted of polygamy. & @ has had soveral interviews with Sen- Rtor Paddock upon this question and today nt for Senator Duboise to converse with him regarding tho matter. Seuator Paddock as at the white house at the same time. Not Positive About the Matter. The prosident expressed a doubt whether & general pardon to those convicted of un- lawful cobabitation and kindred offenses, Which would include a number of gentile: might not be considered as an undue laxity on his part toward sexual immorality, He expressed perfect willingness to pardon polygamists who were connected with the church, offering as his ground the petition of the church authoritics and their statement that the teachings ot the church had gnl these parties to such action. Both enators Paddock and Duboiso strongly urgea upon the prosident to make the am- mpesty a general one, but left him without being able 1o ascertain exactly the limits to which the presidential vardoning power ‘would be extended. One impression, how- ever, of the visitors to tho white house who bave talked with President Harrison upon the Utah question have obtained is, that tho president is not thoroughly satisfied that the professions which the church is now making are genuine, and that tho peoplo have be- come in reality, and not in name alone, Americans. Nothing is more certain than that Presi- dent Harrison, should either of the bills for tatohdbd or provisional statehood now be- fore congress become a law, would voto 1t. He is willng, so ho says, 1o 0. o0 the fullest extent onsistent with safety to the gentiles swho guvo made their way in Utah against the ob- struction of the ohurch, in affording an op- tvl’!unlly for the Mormon peoplo to show hat conditions huve actually changed and that their obligations to the government are paramount to that of the church. But he is not willing, upon the simple statenient of the leaders of the church and a few office seok- ors from the republican aud democratic pa ties, to turn over Utah toa two-thirds majo) ity whieh has, until a few years ago, been oponly defying the government, Preserving Yellowstone Park, By the very decided vote of 7 to 3 the ‘house committee on public lands have de- cided against the proposition to segregatea portion of 'the Yellowstone National Park, situated in the northeastern portion of the park in which is located Cook Uity, to the public domain 50 that railroads may enter it unrestricted. It is stated that all of the four absent members of the committee also opposo the segregation proposition. The committee agroed upon a bill granting right of way into Cook Uity, a distance of probably ten miles, for a railroad to be operated in the intevest of mining property. The idea of the segre- gation schemo was to evade the pop- ular demand for a railrond to Cook Citv on the ground that if one railroad was samitted others would demand admittance, It is said the Northern Pacific railroad is be- hind the scheme of segregation, but the house will likely pass the bill the public lands committee has agreed upon, and if Northern Pacific influence does not have 1ts way it will be adopted in the senate. Miscellaneous, 1 A favorable report has been made by the ouse committee on claims upon Representa- tive Bowman's bill authorizing the secretary of the treasury to pay to the city of Council Bluffs $2,165, cost of constructing pavements and building sewers in front of the United States court bouse and postofice building, constructed under the laws of he state of owa and paid for by the city of Council luffs, tho amount being one-half of the ex- pense of paving and building sewers on roadway aud Sixth streetand the alley ad- oining in the rear of the property owned by the United States.

BROKE BOTH LEGS. What Happened t nitor Jensen When He Looked Down, A janitor at Union Pacific headquarters named Jensen met with a severe accident vesterday afternoon. Jensen was engaged in washing windows on the second floor and was stanaing outside on the casing. Something attracted his at- tention below and he looked down. As he did =0 he slipped and fell to the sldewalk, breaking both legs just below the knee. The injured man was hastily conveyed to $t, Joseph’s hospital, where the broken bones wero set. Jensen is a single man and lives at3i$ Pop- ploton aveuue. = LEEEE Made it Work Once. Yesterday ufternoon a young man entered the butcher shop of John Regnichek, 2707 Leavenworth street. and said that ho wanted to buy a hulf dozen live chickens. The pro- prietor was alone in the shop at the time, but took his supposed customer to the shed back of his place to show him his collection of barnyard fowls. The assortment didn’t suit and the young man left. Regnichok had occasion to go to his money drawer a moment later and was surprised to find it empty. While he haa been out showing the chickens a partner had slipped in and tapped the till for $10. Not satisfied with their haul, the young thieves tried the same game at several Leav- enworth shops, but it didn't work. it He Was Thrown Off. Thomas (iillespio of South Omaha stag- gored into the jail about 5 o'clock vesterday afternoon looking as if he had been run througn a ditching machine. He was cov- ered with blood, mud and water and bosides all this carried & pretty good load of red oye. He complained that he hud boen thrown from a South Omaha motor car by the conductor, when near the corner of Twenty-fourth and Vinton streets, just because he was a little drunk. Thomas was boiling over with wrath and wanted the man with the bell punch ar- rested and thrown into the dark cell at once. A complaint of assault was filed agaiust the conductor. — DeWitt's Sarsaparilia 1s reliabie. e Independent Ratification Mecting.

WILL ORGANIZE FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT Railroads and Insurance Compantes to Mave an United Interest to Deal with Hereafter—Men who are in the Pl An important meeting of the western packers was held at the office of Manager Babeock of the Union stock ya yostorday afternoon. The object of the meeting was to perfect a scheme that has been in contem- plation for some time. That is tho amalga- mation of the western packing interests by the formation of a permanent ussociation of wostern packers The object of the association is for mutual protection and to secure a unity of action in matters relating to freight rates, insurance, ote. The packers have been more or loss handicapped heretofore in theirdealings with railroad and insurance companies by the fact that they were not in a position toaoct as a unit in making their demands. It is believed that with a permanent organiza- tion embracing the entire packing interests of the Missouri valley, much can be accom- vlished that has been impossible heretofore. Tho prime movers in the movement are H. P. Chessley and James V. Mahoney of tho Sioux City stock yaras andit is thought that Sioux City will boa little more bene- fited than any one eise by the arrangement. The meeting was organized with John S. Knox of the Cudahy Packing company as chairman ana U. S. Epperson of Kansas City secretary. The proceedings were in the na- ture of an informal consultation and about the only business transacted was the up. pointment of an executive committes to per- fect tho organization aud report at a future meeting, The committes consists of John S. Knox of Omaha, James V. Mahonoy of Sioux City and A. J. Van Landiagham, who, us freighy commissioner, represcnts the entire business interests of Kansas City. The association will be known as the West- ern or Missouri River Packers association, and another weeting will be called by tho president, which will probably be held ut Sioux City or Kansas City. 1t is understood that the first matter to be considered by the now organization will be the readjustment of freight rates boatween Missouri river points and Chicago. Two years ugo the rates on live stock betweon these points was greater than those on the dressed veef ana hog products for the samo distance. A subsequent de- cision by tho Interstate Commerce commis- sion equalized these rates. The packers us- seru that this is an unfair decision, and their first effort will be to have the rates restored to the former basis. The meeting was an al- most complote representation of western packing interests as represented by the fol- lowing list of delegates: Sioux City—A. S. Garrettson of the Stock Yards company; H. P. Chesloy, managor of the stock vards: I. Hawkinson of Hawkin- son & Co.; A. Heller of Heller & Sons: G. W. Maxfield of the Sioux City Dressed Beef and Caoning ‘company, and James V. Mahoney. St. Joe—Henry Krug of the Krug Packing company, and John Donavan, jr., of the Stock Yards company. Kansas City—John H. McEwaa of the Kingan Packing company; A.J. Van Lon- dingham, representing tho stock yards and the Armour Packing company, and George Fowler of Fowler, Son & Co. and U. S. Ep- porson. Harry West of the Des Moines & tverpool Packing compauy of Des Moines and Mr. Raymond of Kaymond Bros., Lin- coln, were also present. The Omaha interests were ropresented by Maneger W. N. Babcock of the Union stock yards, Trafic Manager John S. Knox of the Cudahy Packing company an tendents A. C. [oster of Swift & Co., A. H. Noyes of the G. H. Hammond company, and F. W. Talioferro of the Omaha Facking company. UNIQUE AND SUCCE: Delsartoan Entertainment Given Presbyterian Young Ladies. The young ladies of the Youvg People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the Pres- byterian church gave a Delsurtian entertain- ment last evening and were favored with an audience that fillad every seat in the church. The entertainment was of exceptional merit and the apolause that they received from the usually undemonstrative South Omaha audi- ence was decidedly flattering. The rehearsals bad been in charge of Misses Myrtie Kotchum and Evelyn Alleu of the Omaha Conservatory of Music, 1o whom much of the oredit for the succoss of the en- tortainment was due. The Delsartean fea- tures of the program consisted of & series of lhving tableaux, represeating the entire gamut of human emotions, 'I'hese ware par- ticipated in by fifteen of the leading young society ladies of South Omaba, who per- formed their parts to perfection, They wero attired in flowing draperies of the Greek pattern, which produced strikingly artistic effect as posed in imitation of the various emotions. The elocutionary part of the program was sustained by Misses Ketchum and Alled, who delighted the audience with their versatiliy of talent. and that the audience appreciated their efforts was evident from the well meritea apolause that greeted the olose of each selection. *Prince,” *‘Parental Discipline’” ana *‘Aunt Peggy and High Art,” wero the seclections chosen by Miss Ketchum, and Miss Allen recited *'The Bar- tender’s Story,” ‘“Heard in a Street Car’’ and *The Fight of Emily,” from David Copperfield. ‘r'Le difticult parts of the latter seiection wero given with a dramatic effect which evinced a natural genius for tbe art. Both youug ladies were obliged to respond to repeated encores. The musical selections were equally well rendered and enjoyavle. Mrs. R. Sage sang “‘Ob, Restless Sea' in her usual ploas- ing manner, and in response to an oncoro gavo *Annio Lavrie” W. F. Wood con- tributed a bass solo and M Anna Wood sang ‘'Forget the Fast,” & solo in which her rich alto voice was heard with pleasing ef- fect. Sigmund Landsberg rendered two dif- ficuit piano solos and was warmly applauded. The followlng youug ladies participated 1n the tableaux: Misses Emma Wood, Eits Erion, Blanche Glasgow, Agnes Hoffman, Lavinia Havens, Mauline Laur, Aona Wells, Minnje Dennis, Marion Thompsou, Ella Mc- Donald, Jenuie Morton, Msud Hayward, Hulda Lambert, Grace Gregory, Kmma Beutz, Grace Sage.

Troutman was placed under arrest and sent to the jail, where ho was charged with shooting with intent to kill. It was stated by the neighbors that the drunken husvand had cruelly abused and veaten his wife the night before besides at- tempting to kill her, o SUBLIMITY OF TRUST. Falth and Its Pow W. R, Mackay. “The Power of I"aith' was the subject of Rev. W. R. Muckay's discourse last night at All Saint's church. 1t was tho third sermon of a series of eight that the Pittsburg clergy- man is at prosent delivoring. He said the power of faith was the per- sonal touch of it—like tho touch of elec- i “or His work on tho human world pounded by Rev, s thanked in this onlightened age. Ho had worlted long conturies upon genera- tion after geaeration, and his work had now been almost infinite, for men could now_un- derstand the simplicity of the gospel. Year after year God bad trained the mind of men aud bad @iven them more brains, more thought, moro sonse, and now they could un- derstand Him Qecause wan had faith in Christ. Tt was a power given them that gave them such faith, The world now was one grand, magnificent umverse. It was not so years ago. Peoplo had not the undorstanding. aith was some- thing different than to believe in dootrines and theories. In faith you were nover con- fused. There werc nd doubts init. You were confident in faith. ‘If you had doubts in that thing or the other, thing you had no confidence in them, Men that built the world had faith in it. They had no doubts aboat it. They believed that they coula build a_world, anda world they did build, pecausd they haa faith. To the faith of the Puritans Mr. Mackay laid everything that was good, They believed in liberty and freedom when they left friends, homes aud fortunes across the sea to come and discover America=for it was the Puri- taus, instead of Columbus, he said, who dis- coverod this country when they landed in the Mayflower. They had faith in what they be- lleved was right and' by having faith they established this great republic. 1'aith held tho bisiness and commercial world together, he argued. If meu had no faitb in each other, no-fhith 1n hunesty, no faith in what was right, uo faith in the gov- ornment,thoe world—business and otherwise — would be crushed ; the'power would be gone. Christ did not appeal to auything that was visionary, Ho appealed to the man for just what the man was. This was a plain trust that people now understood, for Christ was the ono great question thav never died. The gquestion was discussed 1n every day lite and everywhere. The various Christian churches were letting down their bars, opening their doors and throwing asido their doctrines to preach Christ. They had stopped preaching and decrying some other denomination. People were more enlight- ened and were understanding Christ by the power of their faith. Tonight Mr. Mackay’s theme will be “The Need of Conversion.’" e IN THE RIGHT LINE, Efforts of Republicans to Purify Primary Elcctions Henrtlly Endorsed. Speaking of the rules adopted by the re- publicans for tho government of primary elec- tions, Charles J. Green said: “I am in favor of hedging the caucuses and primary elec tions about with extra safeguards to prevent the packing of caucuses and the stealing of the primaries, We have provided the neces- sary safoguards for our election pro- ceadings, but we have not taken steps to lift the primaries out of the hands of the ward heelers and the pro- fessional delegates. I know of wards in the city of Omaha where practically the same delegates bavo goneto the county and city conventions for the past five years or mor, Now that isn’t right. That isn’t a fair repre- sentation of tho people. These fellows sim- ply have their hands on the throttle und they manipulate the machine, “I beliove some law should be passea or some rules agreed upon that would place the primary elecuions entirely beyond the reach of the whipper-in. It will require some re- stricuions that may not be very couvenient, but we will bave to put up with some Inconvenlence .jn order to se- cure honest and fair primary elec- tions. I have only glanced casually at the rules that have been adopted by the joint committees, and am not prepared to say whether 1 approveof all their provisions or not. Iam in favor of somothing that will accompiish the results demanded, and I think the time hes come when we should try sowme Kind of rules and sce what can be done, We shall probably be obliged tu experiment some before we get rules that will exactly fill the bul" ———— SHE IS A SHOPLIFIER. Arrest and Conviction of 8 Woman Who as Boen Working the Stores, A neatly dressed middle-aged woman, who gave the name of Mrs.i Roskoph and said that her home was at Dunlap, Ia., was arrested yesterday afternoon Zor shoplifting, She had with her a ggod-sized cheap black satche!, which when, searched produced about as much plunder as a magician usually takes out of a borrowed silk hat.

Thayer and moyes the it the supreme court of whe defendant go hewee withont deluy cover his costs and executior be nwarded upon, be re: Second Teave to fil fo ein: and at therefore this cause be set for The motion issigned by J. ., Blair,Charles A. Goss and M. B. Reese as attorneys. Their names were also signed to the following no- tice which was served unon Governor Boyd: To Jaues E. Bovp, defondant: You are hereby notified that on Tuesday, tho 20th duy of March, 1503 4t tho opehing af court in the forenoon of day or as soon thoreafter as counsel ean hgurd, tho state of Ne- brasku upon relation of Jolin M. Thay move the court to sot aside the judgment o torod in sald cause on the 16th of March, und for leave toflloa reply; and that the ciuse be sot down for trial. A copy of said motion is herewith handed you May Disturb T c's Plans, There are whisperings that Governor Boyd’s attorneys have prepared a neat little surprise for tho logal gentlomen who are ap- pearing for General Thayer in this matter. it is stated that the former have cvidence in their possession which does not appear upon tho face of the printed copy of the opinion handed dowa by the supreme court of the United States, but which does appear upon tho records of that court at Washington. This ovidence is in tho naturo of the re- corded vote of tho soveral judgos composing that august tribunal upon the soveral brauches of the decision. It will be remem- bered that Justice Fiold aissented from the opinion of his associates upon the question of jurisdiction. The facts are that after Jus- tice Fiold had given his vote of dissent to the whole proceediugs his name doos not ap- pear in counectioa with any of the opinions. Consequently but seven judges sat upon the case and upon the question of the citizenship of Governor Boyd the vote stood four to three. This is, of course, an affirmative de- cision and knocks out the four to four theory upon which the friends of Generai Thayer have depended almost entirely for their reasons for insisting that tte case be re- opened, If evidence of this nature is pre- sented to the state supremn.o court next Tues- day the judges may conclude that General Thayer has no valid reasons for continuing the case and dony his motion for leave to file a reply.

The piano case mentioned in these columns yesterday was sottled by a verdict from the jury this morning awarding the defendant the sum of $30.25. The jurymen were of the opinion that the defendant Kaar had paid Young & Elder that amount of money over and above what the instrument was really worth, The case will go to the suvremo court, and in the meantime the question arises, what is to bo done with the piano which was brought 1nto the court room and introduced inevidence! Properly it is u part of the evidence and should be filea with the clerk of tho supreme court with the bil! of oxceptions. Clerk Campbell of the supreme court is worried not a little over the prospect of huving to store that piano away in the vaults of the state house for the next year and & half, Fell Into Bad Company, be George Hendorson came to Lincoln from Cretn yestorduy aud last evening huuted the elephant on its native heath.

Wright had @ contract with the defendant to lay the curbing on alleys and sireels of the city and in his petition alleged that thera was still due him the sum of §I,20, Further be alleges that Buckstaff stopped bim after he had done part of the work. ,lls petition brings out soma very interesting in- lormation as to the pro(ts that are made from paving contracts ia the city of Lincoln —information that the people of Lincoin will remember when thoy authorize more paving contracts, er instance, it is stated that he recoived 10 cents per 100t for curbing that only cost him 4 cents. He received $I for bead pieces that cost him but 60 cents. Mr, Wright was working under a sub-contract, too. In his auswer Mr. Buckstaff says that after be had made the contract the city au- thorities changed their winds in regard to the quality of the work, and therelore he stopped Mr. Wright from completing his coutract.
