man LINCOLY JUSTICE PUZZLED ’olwm‘th;'- Court the foene of a Very Raoy Trial PARENTAGE OF A CHILD INVOLVED Another Feature of the Final Transse- tions of the OMcers of the Defunot Capital National Bank.-Sult of an fnventor, Lixcor, Aug. 17.—[Special to Tre Bee.)— King Solomon, the ablest jurist that ever occupied the supreme bench of Jerusalem, would haye been puzzlea over the caso that has been pending in Justice Foxworthy's court in this city for the past several weeks, and which he decided today. The caso came into court on the action of a “Mrs. Gorton, who sued a young lady named Daisy Smith, her mother, Mrs. M. M. Smith, and a traveling man named Allen ‘W. Stuart, for a bill of $0, which she claimed to be due her for the care of an in- fant which she assorted was the result of the uniawful union of Daisy and the travel- ing man. Witnesses and depositions have been examined by the score. Daisy has per- sistently denied that Stuart was the father »f the child, and that gentleman himseir has Insistod thut his friendship for the girl has always been of the Platonio description. Daisy also denied that the baby brought Into court was her child. The case has been badly mixed, although the circumstances all went to brove that the young woman was bent upon shielding her lover, who is & well known married man, Justice Foxworthy today rendered a judg- ment in favor of Mrs. Gorton, awarding her the amount of her claim togother with the posts of the suit. This practically settles ihe fact that although a wise father may deny the knowledge of his own child, it is reity hard to fool a justice of the pence. 'he case will be appealed to the higher tourts and is likely to puzzle the wits of more judges bofore it is finally determined whether the child ever hud any parents, or whether, liko Topsy, it *just growod." Moro Capital National Litigation. John P. Higgins applied to the distriot pourt for an order compelling Receiver Hay- den of the Capital National bank toset aside and hold for his benefit as a trust fund the sum of £008. Two days before the insti- tution failed Higgins went into the bank and gu for collection a draft for 2,000 upon urke & Frazier of South Omaha. The draft was duly forwarded to the South Omaha National bank, by which it was collected. Before the money could bo forwarded, however, the Capital National failed and the money was held in South Omaha for some months in spite of ropeated demands made by Higgins. The Bouth Omaha bank finally threw the responsibility of holding the money upon Receiver Hayden by forwarding it to him some time in July, All this Higgins relates to the district court and asks for the decree above mention: He places the amount at BUOS for the reason that he owed the bank the difference between that amount and the smount of the draft. He also alleges that at the time he de- f\unlled the draft for collection the Capital National bank was insolvent and that the bank officials were aware of the fact. He claims therefore that in taking his draft the cashier and tetler did so with the deliberate Intention of defrauding him. He alleges by this intent tho bank has forfeited any claim to the ownership of vhe draft and that its proceeds must therefore ba considered af trust and not be added to the general a: of the bank. An Inventor in Court. Genrge Cline is an inventor both by incli- nation and profession, and in uddition he has devised something new in tho way of a law suit. Some time ago he worked out the de- tails of a new variety of corn planter, which he fully believed would revolutionize the ag- ricultural interests of the country. Tuking the model to David Fitzgerald and Davi Sisk he proposed that they advance the money to erect a factory and he would ad- vance the brain power. The agreement was effected, but the factory never grew any higher thun the plans on the paper. Cline has nursed his disappointment, but has finally concluded to apply to the courts for redress. He accordingly commenced suit today for damages, placing the amount at $5,000, with a ueat addition of $437.56 for expense in- curred in perfecting the patent. He alleges in his petition that he entered into a con- tract with tho Messrs, fitzgerald and Sisk the details of which were reduced to writ. ing. He claims that they broke the con- tract, and that by reason of their failure to comply with their agreement he is out the amount he sues to recover. ¥iles an Energetic Protest. John A. Grous, by his attorneys, Darnell & Kilpatrick, appeared in tho supreme court today with a remonstrance against the proposition of the stockholders of the de- funot Nebraska Savings bank to put up a bond for $160,000 conditioned upon the pay- ment of all claims against the bank within 1wo years from August 1. Attorney Darnell, who'ls conducting the case on the part of o number of the objecting stockholders, ad- ‘vances the following reasons why such a ‘bond should not be accepted : The time allowed to make sald paymonts Is 00 fur in the future, the time glven belng un- reasonublo, The upproval of such a bond will prevent the depositors from speedily recelving their monoy. A rocelvor has been appolnted as provided by law, in whom the depositors have confl- dence, and 1f he s allowed to dischar duties the depositors will spoedily their mone; £ the proposed bond Is approved it will have a tendency to discourago the depositors and Jond thom 10 accopt less than par o tholr claims, Jho statutes platnly provide for the ap- polntmentof recolvers, the colloection of the assets and the assesment of the stockholders. The devositors will roceive thelr money with less delay if the plain provisions of the stat- uro d. The delay already occa- nsidoration of the proposition 10 glve a bond has prevented the recolver from moving in the collection of the nssots. Mr. Daruell also represents other deposi- tors in tho defunct bank and will file more rotests. There is a fairly good prospoot or a lively fight over the watter before it is flnally settled. Brother Whitcomb Sees the Falr, E. Whitcomb, the Friend newspaper man ‘who is editor-in-chief of the apiary interests of Nebraska, and who is acting as superin- tendewnt of the state's beo and honey exhibit at the World's fuir, was at the state house for a few moments this fore he is connected with the of the stato exhibit he stauds high enough in the estimation of the people of the state to be accepted as pretty good authority on all matters iuvolving Nebraska's proauctive interests.

New York has nothing in her building but lavish huuuulluf' with a plethoric Al:rruyriulun benhind it, Penn- sylvania offers only the Liberty bell, and Virginia contents herself with a replica of Mt. Vornon and & collection of relics. Of all the exhibits made by western states, says Mr. Whitcomb, Nebraska's better than all of them, conveys the idea to thousands of persons’ every hour of the day that here isa great agricultural state unlimited as to resource. For the purpose of an aavertisoment of the agricultural talness of ' Nebraska, concluded Mr. Whitcomb, the exhibit is a success in every way. Wi Some order, and Gossip at the State House. Sheriff K.

GOSSIPED WITIFTHE CHOSTS | e Dr. Poulson's Spiritualistio Tendencies as Practioed in This Vicinity. —sug SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHY. WAS HIS HOBBY Collection of Plotures that Would Make Good Wall Paper for a Haunted House ~The Doctor Arranges to Lo- ente at Coufell Blafs. Dr. P. Wilhelm Poulson, whose California escapade, given in yesterday's Brr croated quite & str among his many old acquaintanc in this vicinity, has been located in Chicago. It is said that he will return to Council Bluffs within a few days. He rented an office on Broadway, in that city, but the palat of his new sign on the glass door had not got fairly dry before he packed his trunk and left the city. A bit of paper is plnned to the door bearing an Inscription informing who may call that he has gone out of the city, but will be back some time next week. As it bears no date the information affords no definite comfort to the suffering one who turns the knob in a vain attempt to get re- lief by the doctor's skill. Dr. Poulson up to eight or ten years ago was the leading homeopathic physician in Council Bluffs, and when he left there for California many expressions of regret were hoard among his patients. Fervent Bellover in Spiritunlism. His eccentricities were always marked and his spiritualistic tendencies were of rap- idly increasing fervency, but many were willing to endure his oddities to avail them- selves of his skill. Spirit_photography was & great fad with him, and there was not such a collection of ghost pictures to bo found anywhere in the whole land as that which was gathered in his office. There was not a travelng medium within 500 miles who was not liberally patronized by the susceptible doctor, espe- cially if gifted with the power of making ghosts appear on & negative. In fact, tho doctor was 8o much an enthusiast on nega- tives that ghost cameras were often kept busy while suffering patients were kept waiting. In the doctor's office were to be socn photographs of himself surrounded by shadowy forms, which he readily recognized as the spirit faces of Hahnemann and other great hights of his school. In fact, when he had a very complicated caso on hand, he would consult these de- parted spiritual solons, and from them get suggestions which he sometimes followed and sometimes discarded, taking advantage of their previous earth experience and their present spirit judgment, just as he would consult with a~ brother physician in the flesh, except that the usual consultation fee was not taxed up to the patient. Some of the spirit photographs in the doc- tor's collection showed him surrounded by the bleached faces of those whom he identi- fied as the generals, the kings and the lead- ing men of his fatherland, who seem to hover about Lim unscen until captured by the ‘“mediumistic” photographer. Thero were other groups of leading authors, and in fact, by the evidence of these photos the good doctor was contifiually surrounded by the best of company. | Caught Ghosts oo the Fly. During his residenco ‘hero a traveling medium, feminjne, and, of very cavtivating manners, came aloug and made arrange- ments with a Broadway photographer to g1ve some sittings in his-gallery. It is said that Dr. Poulson was qne, of her first, last and most generous patrons. He posed be- fore the camera in - various positions, and caught apy npumber of ceiebrated ghosts on the fly. He was so enthusiastic that he urged the clevk at the Ogden house, where he boarded, to let the mystic camera “tshoot” him once,. and see if. he could not capture some of his ghostly friends. Tho clerk complied, but was so much of an un- believer that in his hardness of heart he bet $5 that there were no ghosts on him, and that if the camera could casch the angel face of any one of his departed relatives or friends he would pay the wager twice over. Silver In the Spirit World, He sat down with the doctor, the snap shot was made, uud when the negative came out of the dark room there was the usual crowd of admirers hovering about the doc; tor's head, but mot even the flutter of a ghost's snowy drapery was to be scen near the clerk’s form, There were some mys- terious looking little white spots on the negative in the vicinity of his boots and vantaloons, and these were given a free sil- ver interpretation by the medium, who de- clared that the clerk was such a lover of money that there was nothing to be seen in the spirit world surrounding him but the forws of departed half dollars. This expe- rience of the clerk led to a later and more in- toresting revelation. ‘The fair medium left for St. Louls to find fresh victims, taking with her the best wishes of the doctor, and it is said, a goodly quantity of his 100sé change. In St. Louis she found some difficulty in getting plates properly prepared so that they would show the ghostly forms at just the right time, and not any too soon, for to inspire faith it was nocessary for her to present to the sitter for inspection the plates, seemingly mere glass, free from sll trickery. Tne plates used here showed no signs of the previous preparation so necessary todevelop- ing ghost pictures, and not being ablo to get similar ones in St. Louis to her satisfaction, in price and quality, she wrote to the Broad- way photographer, ordering some plates of him, In the course of the letter she asked very solicitously and tenderly about her friend, the doctor, and expressed a passing regret at the simplicity and honesty of the old fellow to b thus 80 easily duped. Pluck Failed at the Parting. She said she felt so repentant that as she was oidding the good doctorgoodhy, she was half inclined to ** 'fess up,” and thus put the doctor on guard against any further decep- tion along her line, but she was afraid thas the doctor would be o angry that her pluck was not equal to her sympathy. The photographer was so tickled over the letter, that remembering the shrewd distrust of his friend, the hotel clerk, he showed the letter to the clerk anda the twain joined in such & laugh over the affair that the echoes of it reachea the ears of a BEe reporter, who with this clew worked his way into the secret of the ghost pictures, To those of the doctor's friends who are conversunt with the freaks of his enthusias- tic spirivualism, the report of his holding seances in California over.a zine box contain- ing the body of a baby meets with rather ready credence. 1f; ias the California papers state, there is,auy truth to the dead aby story, the doctor's Council Bluffs friends are more ready to class the strange procedure us sowe spiritualistic freak of his than to believe that hoihas kuowingly com- witted any wrong. s P INDIAN MINTS" SHUTDOWN, Leading London Fapers on the Rumor of Renewal of Siiver Coinage, LONDON, Aug. 175~The Times in its financial article yesterday said: ‘‘Den- ver & Rio Grande préferred was quoted higher owing to an absurd impression that the Indian goverpment is about to reopen the mints tomsilver. Whether the decision tuken lately on this subject would be wise or mot, it is not at all likely the government would change as soon as this, The origin of the rumor was the action of the India council in selling drafts at3s id. The fact that Indian exports would be at once con- tracted and Indian imports expended, thus simultaneously reducing the de- mand and increasing the supply of re- mittances to the east had, we must as- sume, been overlooked or not sufficiently allowed for. Moreover, no action could taken on other means of remittances, which at & pinch could beand actually were made use of, such as rupee paper and even silver. On tho other hand, we fear the majority of the council overestimated the rapidity with which the cessation of coinage would begin to give the rupee a monopoly. This will be the matter on which it would have been foolish for any outsider to offer an opinion; but, argu- ing on purely priori grounds, we shonld certainly have thought it rash to assume that a cessation of colnage of less than two months could possibly affoct the value of an article of which so large an amount is in existonce. Per- haps the stoppage of mintage for a year may produce some other effect, but this is in no way certain.” The Standard regards the India coun- cil's action as a ‘‘complote confession of failure.” ““This sudden change of policy,” it says, “may create a commo- tion in India, but it will probably be limited to the official class. It is ex- pected to result inthe further depression of silver.” The Daily News says: “It is too soon to say that the India council has thrown up the sponge. 1t is, of course, unfor- tunate for the plan of operations that the rate could not be fixed and adhered to, but the circumstances were strongly opposed to it.

It may be weeks, rerhaps months, before the closing of the mints have the obvious effect of maintaining a monopoly value of the coined rupee.

It nullified the action of June 26 and must sooner or later lead to the question whether, after all, it is not bet- ter for the Indian government to admit its blunder and open the mints.” P = Ssam— CAVALRY COMPETITION.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—The approach of the season for moving the cotton and grain crops of the country is impressing brokers and producers with increased force with the serious aspect of the ex- isting scarcity of currency and the par- tial paralysis of credit. The cotton movement should already be under way, and in less than a month there snould be a transfer of the grain crops to the seaboard. How to furnish the monoy to assist this movement is a problem now pressing upon bank officers, not only here, but at all the interior cities. Already Chicago has been forced to import gold from Burope for the purpose, and it would appear that this was the only alternative pre- sented to southern cotton planters and southern financial institutions. Bankers here are already being besieged by cor- respondents in the south asking for ac- commodations, ‘*Where shall we get the money to move our cotton?” is the general cry, Unfortunately the New York banks are able to furnish practi- cally no assistance, and the veply given to the anxious inquiries in many in- stances can be compressed into the words, “‘buy gold in Burope.” This step means the payment of & premium on gold, which involves an additional cost in moving the crop, which must be a heavy burden upon southorn producers. The demand for currency, which*still maintains & substantial premium upon cash, is believed by bankérs and mone; brokers to be largely due to the devel- opment of necessities in connection with the movement of cotton. The need of providing for pay rolls of important cor- porations no longer explains the contin- ued activity among the money brokers, It is evident that a course more lasting in its nature is responsible for the main- tenance of the premium in spite of the heavy imports of gold and the increase in national bank note civeulation. The southern banks have been compelled to send bills of lading here and obtain ex- change on them, thereby establishing a bank credit, and then buy currency here with certified checks. The cost of this ration adds seriously 10 the expense of handling the crop, but there appears 10 be no relief. — - — ©C. P, R. Out of Its Swaddling Clothes.

HONORS FOR OMAHA, Instructor Rudolph Captares n Prize at the Bohemian Tournwment, - Yesterday was tho last day of the na- tional tournament of the Bohomian turners in Chicago. Instructor Rudolph was the ouly member of the Omaha team sho received a prize. It was the sixth on the list for long jumping. He made a record of ocighteon feot and six inches, which is considerad vory good. This was in Individual competition. The teamn, as o whole, would undoubtedly have carried off a prize had not one fact been overlooked in tho making up of it, which caused them to be barred from compe- ting in their proper group. Frank Fiala, oneof the best members, had competed and won @ prizo in this group three years ago, when the national tournament was held at Milwaukee, and under the rules the team to which he belonged could not again enter tho same class, but must compete with o higher grade. For this they wer not prepared. A majority of the Omaha visitors to Bo- hemian day at the fair and contest are looked for to return by tomorrow, whilo some of those from thoe interior of tho state have already returned. arnveroln Topios, At the last regular meeting of the Turn- verein the committec on arrangements for a sories of amusements during the winter months was instructed to inaugurate the program October 1.

Upon the purity and strength-giviog quality of the food, and especially upon its fitness for a hot weather diot, de- pends baby’s life. 3 g When the little one’s flesh is flabby, blood thin and poor, color whito, and temper uneven, il not irritable, there is an urgent necessity for a change. It is time to put the baby at once upon lac— tuted food, which contains all the essen- tials of &’ perfect diet. It furnishes abundant material for rapid growth and development. ‘When the mother’s milk is insufficient in quality and quantity for baby’s healthy growth, any one who stops to think must know that the infant food which most closely resembles mother’s milk must be used. Thisis undoubtedly lactated food. It is used and recom- mended by the best physicians in every community in the country. It has re- ceived more testimonials within the past_month from happy mothers than could be printed in a score of such col- umns as these, and the facu that it is not expensive, but is within everybody’s reach, and can be obiained at any drug LITTLE RUTH SOUTAR. store, makes it even more a boon. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Soutar, who live on Campbell street, Sandusky, Ohio, owe their happiness to lactated food, They write: “When our baby, Ruth, was sick there was nothing that would stay on her stomach, The doctor advised the use of luctated foud, and very thankful we are, for in a short time it worked wonders. She is now a large, healthy child, Her age is one year and four mouths. We are convinced that had it not been for the timely use of lactated food our baby would have died. We now have another little one that we are raising on lactated food, we have such faithin it, and we also recommend it to all our friends.” Hundreds of such testimonials have been published.
