THE OMAHA DAILY BEE! 'TUESDAY. APRIL 12, 1892 IT WILL BENEFIT FARMERS How a Market for Surplus Corn May Be Recured, EUROPEANS KNOW LITTLE OF IT AS FOOD Benator Paddock Favors the Tdea of A priating a Considerable Amount for th ¥ pro- rpose of Developing the Field for American Products. 518 FouRTERNTH STREET, WasniNaroy, D. C., April 11, Today Senator Paddook submitted as an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill & provision appropriating §25,000 for con- tinuing and enlarging the education of peo- ple in Europo 1 the use of our Indian corn for food purposes. Last year congress ap- propriated but $2,500 for the purpose and Colonel Charles J. Murphy, the special agent of the Aericultural department who has for somo years been showing Kurope how to make “Johuny cakes”, “flap jacks'’’, mush, corn bread, eto,, has had a hard row to hoe. He has kept steadily on with his work but has nob made the progress he wanted to make, enator Paddock has roceived a number of letters the past few days from prominent merchants and boards of trade urging him to use his influence in securing a decent appro- vriation to enable the Agricultural depart- ment to carry on the work of introducing our corn products Into the markets of Europe, among them being letters from Thurber, Whiland & Co., importers of Now York, and Evan Thomas, president of the New York Board of Trade, Both of these firms speak from actual knowledge of the splendid field Europe affords for disposing of our surplus corn, provided the army of agents bein- oreased from one man, Colone) Murphy, to the proper sizo to cover tue ground in a more rapid manner. It Will Benefit ¢ They state thot if a proper approbriation had beon made LWo years ago our exports of corn, and the products ol corn, would have been so much larger than this as to have made a very appreciablo differenco 1n mar- ket prices. Colonel Murphy, who has heon for years making corn cakes, corn puddings ana’other articles of food from corn in tho streots of Paris, Berlin, London and other large cities of Europe, has written the Agri- cultural deparment an account of the manner in which his labors have been recoived, ana has pictured a magnificent foreign market for every grain of our coru at a much larger figure than it it receiving today if the oppor. tunity is only embraced and the field worked up properly.” Hosaysthe only form in which ourcorn 1s known on the British isles as a food artic.s is corn starch; that the prejudice against corn meal is 80 strong in England that whenever 1t is sold it is under the brand of something else: that our corn 1n any form in most places in Europe is con- sidered simply an article for horse ana cattlo food. However, he has boen very successful wherever ho has gone in eradicating that impression. Wherever cornmeal has been bolted and sold as flour or starch it has peen woll received and is popular. What Class it Now Reaches. The process of bolting or manufacturing fnto starch has made it very expensive, taken together with the fact that it is not well known and there is not a heavy ae- mand for it. Thus, while tho intent 1sto furnish a nutritious and cheap breadstuff for the artisan and laborer, an article has beeu produced which is only demanded by those who can afford luxuries. The thing needed is education to eradicato the prejudice and teach the common people how to use corn. Such a thing as canued cornis known to Wasnixatox Bureav or tae Bes, } ners. very littlo of Europe. Itis belioved that with an exponaiture of £25,000 to £50,000 a year for three or four years & market wili be created In Europe for all of our surplus corn and the sonate intends to force this fact upon the houso so strongly that the latter cannot refuso to concur in the appropriation for en- larging our cora market. Nebraskans in Washington, For an bour today tho private galleries of the senate wore occupied by Nebraskans, Genoral John C. Cowin, Thomas H. Bonton, state nuditor; J. H.

There was considerablo amusement among Illinols congrassmen today over a telographic apnouncement in the local papers this morn- ing that Judge Gresham would be & presi- dential candidato, as he was meeting with great favor among farmers allinuce men, 1t was tho general impression ther Juage Greshem would not permit the use of his name in such a conaection. One Illinofs con- gressman said, however, that he had good reason to beliave that Judge Gresham was not only willing to bo the standard bearor for the farmers alliance, but was actually working through his intimate friends toward that end. The congressman said that he had visited Kansas and Nebraska last fall and hud found a decided (Gresham seutimont amoug the alliance men. He bhad taken pains to find out how the sentiment started, and he leurned to his satisfaction that it was due to the talk of meu closely identitied with Judge Gresham. Uy clear to me at that time,” sald the Alino congressman, “that Gresham's friends were endeavoring to have this farmer's organization start a Gresham boon 1n the west, which would have its influence taken up in the east, and the dispatch this morning announcing that Gresham and Polk aro to head the alliance ticket corroborates my view.'

A fow days later it could oasily he scen without the aid of a telescops by protecting tho eye with colored glass. As it moved across the disk of the sun during the twolve days it was visible, it displayed itself in a group of spots of unusual activity and extent of surface. Tho great spots wore typical ones, for thoy consisted each of the usual dark nuclous with the less dark leveling or penumbra. Two of these nuclel, united in tho same penumbra, wero from six- tenths to eight-tenths of a minute of arc in diameter—tho sun’s entiro diameter spanuing thus thirty-two minutes of arc—thus. giving for the dimensions of the large single penumbra 72,000 by 33,000 miles, while the total area aisturbed by the grouv was 135,000 miles long and 50,000 miles wide. A better iden, porhaps, will bo formed of this great hole'in tho sun by imagining our four inferior lanets, viz: Mercury, Venus, the Earth, and ars arranged in @ line, and again oight others of the same sizo added. These twelive planets might walk abreast into tho chasm without grazing the sides. No wonder that in this. as In former cases of great sun spots, the glant group has been accompanied by violent and extraordinary magnetic disturbances (such as have not been observed for ton years) and by brilliant aurorw. These aurorasare reported from all parts of the old and new world. An electric storm_accompunied the aurora on February 13. Between 5p.m. ana7p. m. the storin was at its _height, and inter- fered with the working of the telegraph sys. tew over a considerable section of the coun- try. “At intervals during tho auroral dis- play it was founa possible to sond messages between Albany and New York without the aid of the regular batteries,” savs the Chi- cago Tritune. In Sweden and Russia earth currents seriously affected the operation of the telograph linés. Tue extraordinary group of sun-spots dis- appeared on the western limb of the sun on KFebruary 18, but reappeared on the eastern limb about March 1, followed by another groun, Since then the cioudy, stormy weather which visited Omaha ‘interfered materiaily with observations at the Creigh- ton college ovservatory. The beautiful weather of April has revealed that thouxh tho solar disturbances have not lessenod, but rather increased, in activity, almost du- plicating theiv extent, the sun's face is blotched by three spot groups in higber southern latitudes. The period of minimum sun-spots of two years and a half ago is be- ing succeeded by & period of maximum spols in the Columbian year of 1502, There are certain supposed conneotions of the sun-spot period with terrestrial phe- nomena which are of interest. Sir William Hershel collected quite a mass of statistics tendiug to show that there was an “intimate connection betweon the number of sun-spots and the price of corn, the latter being low when there wero few spots and high when they were more numerous. His conclusion was that the fewer the spots the wore favor- abe tho solar rays w the growth of the crops. This theory has not been confirmed by subsequent guservations and will receive 1ts doath blow, we trust, in this year's plen- tiful crop. There is, however, great reason to believe that the frequency of aurcras and magnetic disturbances is subject to the eleven-year period corresponding to that of sun-spots, these occurrences being most frequent when the spots are most uumerous.

Bee bidg forwarded to the | ASKING FOR YOCUM'S PARDON Attorneys in the Oase Argue the Matter Before Governor Boyd. — PETITIONS FROM TWENTY-FIVE COUNTIES Prominent Citizens of Hastings Write Let- ters to the Remonstrating Agninst a Pardon—Arguments to Be Heard Tomorrow, Governor Liscory, Neb,, April 11.—|Special to Tur Brr.|—The attorneys concerned in the prosecution and defense of Captain A. D, Yocum, who shot and killea Myron Van Floot at Hastings on the 22d of last Febru- ary, appeared before Governor Boyd this afternoon with petitions for and remon- strances against the extension of executive clemency in tho case. General A. H. Bowen, who was Captain Ygcum's principal counsel in the trial, opened the case and briefly re- viewed Lho circumstances of the unforturate affair. He laid particular stress upon the fact that the testimony went to show that during long and continued absence of Captain Yocum from the state the deceased deliber- ately and repeatedly soughtto accomplish the ruin of Alice Yocum, both by persuasion and by force, that in shooting the traducer of his daughter Captain Yocum was actuated by an incontrollable impulse that amountod practically to 1iusanity of an emotional nature. County Attorney Hoeppner, who con- duoted the prosecution, followea with an ap- peal to the governor to stick closely to the record in the trial of the case, which proved only the fact of the homicide. He argued at length to prove that the action of Yocum was deliberate, intentional, and that he pro- ceeded In & cowardly manner by shooting aown a man from bohind his back. W. P. MoCreary, also for the prosecution, followed County Attorney Hoeppuer, He attacked the matter contained in the heading of the petitions and asserted that not ono- tenth of the signers bhad the remotest iden of the true facts of thecase. R. A. Batty, for the prosecution, read a number of remoustrances from leading citi- zens of Hastings against the pardon of Yocum. Among the lotters read were those from E. C. Webgter, treasurer of the Ne- braska Loan and Trust company; Mayor Rittenhouse, Counoilman Fisher and ox- Postmaster Evans. General C. J. Dilworth, department com- mander of the Grand Army of the Republic, made the closing address of the afternoon for the defense. He deanied that the governor should stick closelv to the record ol tho trial, and asserted that the governor was not ap- penled to as a judeo, butas an exccutive, who rightly had tho power to interposo his clemency 1n the matter. (ieneral Dilworth’s srgument visibly affected a large number of those present, especially a large number of ladies who nhad brought petitions on their own nccount. He appealed not to the stern austerity of the judge, but to the warm heart of the father, who, finaing no protection in the law for tne honor and good name ot his uaughter, takes upon himself the infliction of adequate punishment. Attorneys Casto of Hastings and Harwood of this city will continue the argument before governor Boyd tomorrow at 11 o'clock, the former for the prosecution and the latter for the defonse. Tho petitions presented to the governor today were very voluminous and contained nearly 8,000 names. Petitions wero presented from twenty-five counties of the state. A delogation of prominent ladies of Lincoin were present this aftornoon and ono or two ladies of state wido reputation will make personal appeals to Govoruor Boyd tomorrow in bohalf of the wife and daughter of tho convicted man, Sent Up for Three Years. The case against Walter Clark and Henry Smith, accused of the robbery of a number of Lincola merchants, came before Judge Hall this forenoon. Clark failed to appear and his bond of 2,000 signed by C. N. Cran- dall was declared forfeited. Smith pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. H. W. Ziuk, under arrest for embezzle- ment, was arraigned. He entored a plea of not guilty and his trial was set for April 18. Ouv & former trial for the same offense he was convicted and sontenced to the peniten- tiury for two years, but he succeeded in getting a new trial, George Metz and Robert “Shepherd were brought into courton the charge of hog stealing. They wili have their trial Weduesd ay. Right of Way Complications, A potition was filed in the district court this afternoon by L. L. E.Stewart asking for an injunction to restrain the Rock Island Railroad company and Messrs. Montgomery, McClay, Gilliland, Schilling and Hartley, the right of way commissioners, from ap- {u‘ulsing his property near Seveanteenth ana Vine streots. He alleges in support of his tition that on January 2, 1892, Judge W, E. Stowart appointed & commission to ap. praise the right of way, and that their appointment has mnover been re- voked and that consequently they are the only ones authorizod to make the appraise ment. He alloges further thut the Rock Island is not the real party interested in tho appraisemont, but that a’ syndicate of prop- erty owners have given & tond to furnish right of way and torminal facilities in Bast Lincoln for a specified amount, and that the proceeding: ondemuation are enginecred by this syndicate. The hearing of the case was set for tomorrow. ‘WAS HEART FAILURE. ixcossive Drinking Paralyzed Ball's Vital Pump, An inquest over the body of Elliott W, Ball, who was found dead in the rooms of the Castle Gold Cure institute, was held in Maul’s undertaking rooms at 3 p. m. yester- day afternoon, _ Dr. B. £, Monroe of the institute stated that the man had come to the institute very wuch intoxicated, and had been given simpty two or three drinks of whisky, a little caf- fein and an ordinary dose of bromide.

A few days ago tho polico came in possession of a circular boar- iog the letter-head: “H. N. Royal & Co,, New Orleans, New York, Chicago and Omaha; financial standing §1,000,000," dated Chicago, April 1, and offering to arrange matters 80 as to enable the person to make $1,000 without a cent of cost to himself The ouly thing required in return was ‘“absolute secrecy,” 1o insure which the sonder in- closed two oaths, exactly alike, ono of which was to bo signed and returned. They agreed to send by express full particulars how to securo $1,000 as soon as the oath, proverly signed, was received. In conclusion the cir- cular said: *“We will withdraw this ofter unless wo hoar from you Monday, April 18, Send oath by express and be sure to pay the charges. We will explain why this is neces- sary in our next letter. Wo presume that you would not object to recoiving $1,000 through a letter. Do not use tho mail, but send all communications by express.” It was thought that the schome was a time-honored green goods game. Detectives visited overy express ofice and found that a great number of express packages wore boing forwarded to a room at 815 Clark street. Yestorday Dotoctive McDonald cap- tured a young girl alond in the office. She did not know what business was conducted in the room, as sho had only been omployed sinco Thursday to receive packages. Sao dia not know the name of tho man who had employed her, s she had secured the posi- tion in answer to un advertisement in a newspaper. Just then a well-dressed young man with @ brown mustache walked in. “That is the man who employed mo," the girl said, and be was at once arresied by the dotective. At the central station the prisoner said his name was L.a Dumas, but from letters found on him it is believed that his name 1s Fred erick G. Bonfils, Aftor a loug session in Captain Shea's ioner offico the man broke down and told the dotails of his scheme. Bonfils’ lodeing room at 2619 Wabash street was visited by the detectives and a bright young man, fashionably dressed, was arrested. In the room were found 3,000 lot- tery tickets in exact imitation of tickets of the Little Louisiaua Lottery compauy for drawing May 19, 1802, Tho capital prize was to be $300,000 and they assured tho buyer that “a larger per ceot of prizes aro given in this lottery than 1u any other lottory on earth.” Both men ackunowledged that thay had everything ready to send out the tickets ana reap the harvest. Bonfils came from New York in March last and the men are believed to have worked their swindling scheme in the east. Bonfils is said to be a graduate of West Point and to be 8 member of a prominent family in Missouri. — Sclentlsts Organizod.
