If the windows had been open his life woud prabably hiave been saved, but as it was it must have taken the gas but a short time to do the wo The fact that the windows were closed led some to beliove that death had been premed- itated, especially when it was stated by some of the sheriffs who had been with him during the afternoon and evening that had but little to to any one. This theo was abandoned later on, and tho belief now | is that he yoticed that the roof of the anne to the hotel was on a level with the window of his room, and he decided that it would be unsafe for him to retire with the windows open for fear that some one would rob him.

James Baxter, who was arrested in Lin- coln about & week ago, was brought before Commissioner Steadman yesterday for o hearing on the charge of burglarnzing the postofice at Aubudon, and was bound over to the grand jury. His bond was fixed at £1,600, and, being unable to furnish it, he was sent to the county jail for keeping, FHis three companions, who are charged with complicity in the crime, were granted a con- tinuance until next Monday morning at 9 o'clock, There is a suspicion afloat to the effect that before the graud jury will have a chance to investigate the case Baxter will have succeeded in getting a bondsman and then skip the country. Inorder to prevent against any such contingency an informa- tion has been filed against him in Justice Vien's court, charging him with burgiariz- iug the residence of Mrs. Emma Metcalf, east of the city, on the mght of August 24, 1880, and in the event of his securing a re- lease he will be immediately rearrested and held for trial in the state court, in whicn case his bond will be pushed away up to the top noteh, Baxter is known to be a shrewd and desperate criminal, and it is hardly likely that he will find 1t possible 1o raise the necessary fuuds for a bail bond in & few | the lndini da; Pure ice From Missouri river channel.

MuscaTINg, June 15.—Several weekst have now elapsed since the recent dynamite ex ple rufled the usual tranquil city of Muscatine, and. although the citizens com- mittee appointed for that purpose has suc- ceeded is raising and maintaining a fund sufficient to keep a number of Chicago detectives employed at $8 a,_ day each, no result from their work has yet been made public. People are growing im- patient, as they have boen led through well founded rumors at timés to suppose that avrests would soon be made in which start- ling revelations would appear. 'Lhe injunc- tion suits which are popularly supposcd to have brougLt about the dynamite deal, have offectually closed all the old suloons, but new ones seem to be rapidly taking their places, and liquor flows in seemingly plentiful quan- tities from many mysterious sources. The vesidence of = Mr. Kessinger, who is has been rebuilt, but thoso Mahin and Attorney Rosen- berger ~ still stand in the condi tion left the night of the explosions. A num ber of “law and_order” meetings have becn held, and many suggestions to raise funds for rebuilding the ruined houses have been made, but the very ucedful adjunct, mon has not been subscribed in any quantity t! would be noticed. The belief that the c spirators will never be caught seems to be aily gaining ground, and rumor has it that some of the detectives have given up the chase. this is only rumor. and the city is doing everything within its power to bring the §uilly to justice.

The plan, as printed, fills two pam- phlet pages. It says that the National Cord- age plant is worth £15,000,000, exclusive of letters patent, good will ana contracts outstanding. It contemplates the float- ing of £6,000,000 in bonds and &8,000,- 000 in preferred stock. One million of the bonds will be retained in the treasury as working capital, with the amount raised by the proposed assessment of 10 per cent on the common and 20 per cent on the preferred stock as it now exists. The floating dobt of $6.000,000 will bo retired by the sale of £,000,000 n bonds at 80 or 85, This plan has received the sanction of all the bauks inter- ested. Two or three prominent bankers will be in the new directory if this plan goes through, There is opposition to the plan of reorgan- ization, Notice has already been given by o law firm representing holders of common stock that thoeir clients will not pay any as- sessments, and that an attempt will be made to get a majority of the holders of the pre- ferred to take the same stand, The reor- ganization committee, it is said, has pro- vided n way of dodging this obstacle, by stating in its plan that the old company may be reorganized or a new company formed, 1t 18 proposed, in the event of scrious objection to an assessment, that the creditors shall sell out the present company and oreanize n new one with the stockholders who are will- ing to submit to an assessmeut.

WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT CITIZENSHIP Critlelses Roman Catholles' Alleglance to the Pope- Pricsthood Recelves His At. tention—Replies to Father Sherman ~Political Power Discussed. The Farnam street theater was packed from balcony to pit last evening with people who were there to hear Rov. H. D. Brown of lowa, lecture on “True Americanism.” After tho crowd was seated the speaker amnounced his topio s “Romamsm as @ Political Power. There was a large number of ladies i the audience. On the stage wero fifty prominent citizens, includingiMayor Bomis, Comptroller Olson, Judge Baldwin, County 1reasurer Irey, Sherift Bennott, Judge Stenburg, Rev. Mr. White and many others, As soon as the theater was woll filled the audience was requested to join in singing “America. The response was hearty. Mayor Bemis arose and said Omaha was prover bial for her fairness, and was always ready to hear a discussion of both sides of any question. Rev. Mr. Brown was then introduced by the mayor. As TRev. Brown stopped to the front he was warmly greoted. He prefaced his re- marks by siying that it had been adve tised that he would speak on “Americanism' and reply to Father Sherman, He said that this was an error, as he proposed to tell of Romanism us a political power, and he ho did not intend to reply to Father Sher- man's lecture, *as he had failed to find auything in that lecture that ro- quired answering.” He _assured tho Catholics that personally o had nothing to say against. them, and that any man had as good @ right to be's Catholic as_another did | @ Methodist, and to enjoy all the rights of worship and religious freedom. “Iam not opposing Roman Catholicism as a church, butas a_political power. When o church enters politics and andertakes to clect men to office and control the entire political field, the public mmnd condemns,” said the speaker, ‘“Romanism is o political power. There is no better organized force than Romanism. It has leadershin, another thing that is necessary, and it is carefully observed. When Mgr. Satolli camo to this country the diplomats of foreign nations voted that he bo admitted to their councils,” “The speaker thon stated that the proposi- tion had been made that the United States should sond a legation to bo represented at the Vatican, and he lhnow it had aroused & number of the people Yotent Pollileal Factor, “A political party always cast a solid vote,” said Rov. Brown, “and so does Romanism. Any politician knows that ull he has to do in a locality is to make arrange- ments with the pope and the solid vote of Romanism will be cast.” He said that Romanism was not only a political power, but a foreign one, and the pope, professors in the schools and priests were foreigners. “Father Sherman said there were 10,000, 000 Romans in this country,” said the divine. “Admit the statement true for argument and I say that there are 10,000,000 subjects of a foreign power in this country. “Romanism has declared openly and above board,” he continued, *“that it aspires to the possession of the government of this coun- try.” Insupportof this position he quoted several selections from the writings and speeches of various Catholic writers, and then began to explain the methods by which the Catholic church hoped to attain the desired end. “The priests.” he said, “ave political agents all over the country and their people vote according to their direction. For an- other thing the priesthood wields the com- mercial patronage of 10,000,000 of people. Tho merchants of this city know what that means. They know that when they break with Romanism they lose the patronage of their Catholic customers. When this power is wielded by shrewd politicians it means a good deal. Again the Catholic church has unlimited wealth which it has been accumu- lating for centuries anl which is always potent in politics.” Church and Cltizenship. The speaker then dealt at some length with the query *'Cana good Romanist be a loyal citizen of the United States!” “They teach,” he said, “that the first allegianco due to the pope, and that any other alleg ance may be st aside by him_at his will. The deerce of the council of Constanc taught that no_faith should be kept with heretics, and _ifa Roman Catholic should violate his oath of allegiance to this country how easily a priest could absolve him. When o mau 1s sworn to support Romanism first and can see no way in which he can be citizen of the United States.” ather Sherman told you,” continued Rev. Brown, “how bravely the Catholics fought during the war, but he forgot to tell you what the Roman Catholics knew abowt the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Ho did not tell you that more than one-half the deserters from the union army were Roman- ists, and that the pope sent his blessing to Jeff Davis. Father Sherman said a good acal nbout the constitution. Now, T tell you that he and his church are the most bitter and determined enemies that the con- stitution has. The constitution says that the goverment must be by the people, but Romanism says that the pope is supreme and tho peoplé must obey. The constitution suys that congress must never pass & law abridging the right of free speech. Here, RIME IN HIGH PLACES! 1t is not strange that some people do wrong through ignorance, others from o faiture to investigrate as to the right or WI‘OHF of a matter. But it is strange, that individuals and firms, who are fuily uware of the rights of others, will por- gist in perpetrating frauds upon them, High-toned, weulthy manufrcturing firms will offor and sell to retail mer- chants, articles which they know to be infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitations of well known goods, We want to sound a note of warning to the retailers to beware of such imita- tions aud simulations of “*CARTER’S LiT- TLE LIVER PILLS.” Whea they are of- fered o you, refuse them; you do not want to do wrong, and you don’t want to lay yourself lisble to a lawsuit. Ben Franklin said **Honesty is the best poli- cy”; it is just as true that *‘Honesty is lf‘;o best principle.” again, the Catholica differ with it for Father Sherman advises his Catholio friends to go to the courts and obtain 1njunce tjons to prevent out speakers from making thogeelvog heard s -9 ARGt wiy 1 which Rome builds up her volitical powor is by getting hold of the fMinicipal governments of our cities,” satd the lecturer, New York, Boston and Chi- cago are dominated b, ‘atholic influence and 90 por cent of the city employes are Catholics. Untii_recently the result of the national election depanded on the result in New York state. The state went as the city of New York went, and New York city went the way Romanism went, So, behind it all, Romaniem practically controlled our national election.” Auother fact that helped to ra hopes of the Catholics was that a lary centage of the immigrants coming into the country every year were adherents of their faith and most of them were voters. Tt was by means of all these that they hoped to accomplish their purpose. Ouotes Daniel Webster, A1 like the laneuage of Daniel Webster," concluded Rev. Brown., “He said that he was born an American, 1i an American, and would dic an American Tremendous apylavee follcwed thisasser- tion.
