OBJECTED 10 IS COLOR| Oivil Rights Bill Violated by a Lincoln Tnstitation, DR, FUPPIN WILL HAVE SATISFACTION 1o Onusos the Arrest of tho Individuals Who Deprived tim of His hts Under the Constitation—Other Capltal Uity Nows. L1scoLy, Aug. 25.—[Special to Tre Bee.) ~The laws on the statute books which guar- anteo to colored mon all the rights under the civil rights bill have evidently been vio- lently fractured in Lincoln at least once and a test caso is to be made which wiil attract no little interest. Warrants were issued this afternoon for the arrest of Dr. J. 0. Everett, M. H. Everett and W. J sha, propriotors of the Sulpho-saline sanitarium in this city. The complaint was filed by George A. Flippin, n colored physi- cian in this city. The Sulpho-saline sani- arium is simply a magnificen’, bath house. The main feature of the institution is an immense swimming bath 100 feet square iined entirely with white marble water is from an artesian well, warmed to an_agrecable temperature. is surrounded by luxurious dressi and from an overhanging carved railings of the fi itors which nightly throng tho p down upon the forms of the people swim- ming beneath myrinds of colored eletric lights. Naturally tho place 18 the resort of a great many of the best peovle of tho city, and tho “'socioty nights” have become reg- ular features of soolal life in the Capital City. Dr. Flippin is a well known colored man, a eraduate of the State university and a practicing physician in good standing. He went to the sanitarium for the purpose of taxing a swim, and was received witha blunt refusal. e claims that he Is being deprived of his rights under tho constitu- tion, and hence his resort to the courts, The trial of the matter will be awaited with con- siderable interest. Are Puying Thelr Own Expenses. It will bo romembered that the last legis- lature made no appropriatiod for carrying the maximum rate law into effect. It was doubtless the iden of tho men who passed the bill that the law would go into effect without lev or hindrance upon the part of the railroads, and such a thing as a pro- longed fight in the federal courts was hardly dreamed of. But the fight has been com- menced and tho members of the State Board of Transportation have very unexpectedly been called into court. Their frequent trips 10 Omaha to consult with their counsel, their traveling expenses and hotel bills and tho expenses of preparing legal papers, has already amounted to a considerablo’ sum, and the probability that tno_case will ulti® mately go to the United States supreme court makes it certain _that the expenses of the board will bo pretty heavy before the matter is finally adjusted. So tar the mem- bers of tho board have paid their own ex- penses out of thelr own pockets. and Stato Treasurer Bartley states that they expect 0 do so until the case is fought to a finish, Digmissed His Clork. The long standing dificulty between the deputy cemmissioner of labor ‘and his clerk came to a focus this afternoon in a rather unexpected manner, When the clerk, Mrs. Packard, came to the office she received a curt note of dismissal from the deputy com- mussioner informing her taat her services ‘were no longer required. Mrs. Packard is inciinea to doubt the deputy commissioner's power to remove her 8o summarily and so 1ar has declined to accopt her summary dis- missal. Under the statutes the governor is the commissioner of labor, while the man who simply performs the duties of tho offico is the deputy. Tho deputy has always been provided with a clerk ever since the ofticy was created, in spite of the fact that a clevk Was unnecessary, The present deputy commissioner is J. B. Eron of South Omaha. He received his ap- pointment from Governor Crounse early in May, as did Mrs. Packard, She is a sister of A. E. Cady, chairman of the republican state central committee, through whose in- fluence she received the appointment. The matter will doubtless be left to the governor for a decision. The governor is now absent from the state, but will return in a few days. “The action of the deputy in dismssing his clork was precipitated by a statement made in a morning newspaper published in this city to the effect that Chairman Cady vis- ited thoe state house Wednesday for the pur- ;mno of calling the deputy to an account and nsinuating that the deputy discreetly kept out of the way. This insinuation the deputy indignantly denies. In the meantime both the deputy and his clerk aro at work, Suved from a Life of Shame. Desdemona Raymond is the name of a young and pretty miss scarcely 10 years of age who was last evening rescued from a life of shame and sent to her relativos in Colorado, Night before last Chief of Police Cooper heard thata young girl was an in- mate of one of the questionable resorts in this clty, and he at once visited the place. “The womun who presided over the mansion insisted that she had no such a girl there. Last evening about b o'clock the chief re- ceived a lotter from Mrs. A. T, Roberts, re- siding av_Buena Vista, Colo., asking him to find the girl and send her home. She addea that she haa sent a licket to the B. & M. agent in this city and also $5 in money with ‘which to bear the girl's expenses on the trip to Colorado. Enclosed in the letter was a telegram which hud been sent to her by the girl, praying for God’s sake to send money to take her away from Lincoln, Armed with the dispatch the chief went to the resort and found that the girl had been locked up for several days in order to prevent her escape. The chief was in- formed that the girl had just gone to the depot. A diligent search, however, failed to find the girl at the depot, although the chief learned that she had calied at the ticket ofice and got the ticket that had been sent thero for her. There was nothing todo butto watch the train. The train from the east came inat 6o'clock, and it was not until a few moments of its leay timo that tho girl, accompanied by the pro- prietross of the resort, gotout of n riagoe which had been standing by the platform all the time. The girl was questioned by the chiof, and said that she was going to her grandmother, Mrs, Roberts, at Buena Vista, Sho was a pretty girl, slight for her age, and had only been leading a life of shyme but a few days. Lancaster County Populls The people’s independent party held its county convention in this city this afternoon.

Today it was discovered that the grave had been opened and the lid removed from the rough box and coftin, leaving the corpse exposed. Nothing was taken away, however. Opinion is divided as to whethor the intention was to rob the grave or simply to investigate as to whether the man was dead. The village board and the family have each offered a re- ward in vhe sum of 50 for the arrestand conviction of the person or . persons impli- cated.

Inasmuch as the money to somewhere near the amount of the judgment asked for has been attached in the bank, it will prove an interesting case. Fire at Aubar, Ausuny, Neb., Aug. 25.—[Special Telogram to Tus Bek.|—Fire broke out this morning about 8 o'clock in the meat market of A. Faber and destroyed it and_the picture gal- lery of Mrs. Faber adjoining, together with the Mardis building, owned' by J. M. Mac- Lay. A.

Dess, - The Bioketts tonight at Courtland, abiici 1A d “HANDs UP” Two Highwaymen Rob the Gatekeoper at Courtland Beach, Gatekeeper Johnson, who does business at Courtland beach and resides in the vicinity of Sixteenth and Grace streets, had an ex- perience with the festive footpad Thursday mght. Johnson had finished his day’s labors and was on his way home. Just as he reached Grace street, aud in frong of the residence of ex-Governor Saunders, two men stepped from beneath tho shade of atree, and in thunder tones, so Johnson avers, remarked, “Cough up your wad, or down comes your weat house.” At the same time, Johnson continues to allege, & gun as large as one of the Krupp canron was shoved under his nose. This was more than he had bargained for und immediately he went down into his pocket and fished out #3.60, which amount he turned over to tne highwaymen. Having gotten their fingers on the money the two men fled to the bottoms, while Johnson made tracks for his home. Yesterday, however, he declares that he can identify both of tne men if the police wili arrest them and give him a chauce to look iuto their eyes, \ e Hold Up by Footpads. ./ James Cameron of Auburn,Neb.,re,drted to the police yesterday that he was held upand robbed of $2 last night as he was crossing the railway tracks at Grace street.

MODESTY OF ONE OF THE MEDAL WINNERS Germans Are Indignant at & Mallclous Misropresentution Printed “Excla ively” In the World-Rerald— Resented by a Visitor, When the cannon bayed its deep-mouthed announcement of the opening of tho fourth day’s contest of the eighth biennial tourna- ment of the Western Shooting league yesterday morning, the attendance of rifle- men and visitors was considerably below that of previous days. While the marks- men seemed eager to obtaln honors and prizes their ardor appeaved to have some- what cooled with the approaching conclu- sion of the program, which will ocour today. Tomorrow will be given up entirely to amusements and sightseeing. The visiting riflemen expressed thom- selves as woll satisfied with the manner in which the affair was conducted by the home society, notwithstanding the erroneous and malicious report “‘exclusively” published in the World-Herald that riflomen had ex- pressed their disapproval of the manage- ment and with the prices charged for meals, which were claimed to be exorbitant. The prices are no higher than patrons ex- pected to pay. On the kehr targot the necessary 175 ad- ditioual points for canes were made by the following: Louis Siclher, St. Louis; J. D. Regennitter, Davenport; Andrew McBean, St. Louis; U, W. Ranzow, Davenport; L. J. Sehring, ' Joliet, _Sam ~ G. St. Louis; E.

Hoft of Omaha, with sixty-seven out of a possible seventy-five points, could still claim the prize on the union target when the shoot closed for the day. Only one other man approached that numoer closely. That was W. Milton Ferrow, one of the crack shots in tho coun- try.

Kaxsas Crry, Kan,, Afig. 95.—The rusk of homescekers to the' Clierokeo Strip, which will be opened to settlsment September 16, has begun, and hundbeds ot men, women and children are arriving on every Santa Fe train. About 150 people arrived on this morning's train, and this afternoon and evening fully twice that number came in. Those that came by railway are all pros- perous looking people and have money with which to make imvrovements when they settlo on their claims. By actual count 188 prairie schooners arrived from the eas! ‘west and north today and proceeded towa; the Strip line, where thay joined the boomers® camp.

Carpwery, Kan,, Aug. 25.—This place is Just _beginning to experience the rush of people bent upon securing claims in the Cherokee Strip, when that country shall be opened to settlement September 18. The prospective point of most settlers hereto- fore has been Arkansas City, but so many hnvafnthorud along the Cherokeo Strip that live in that vicinity that it is doubtful if all will be able to make a suc- cessful rush for claims from that point. As a result hundreds of people are now being brought here by the Rock Island rail- way {rom both the east and the west. This place is nearer the line than Arkansas City and the boomers aro not obliged to go out of tho city.

With a heart story deftly interwoven, the scenes of battle and carnage are made integral parts of a well constructed melodrama, Suggestive of “Youth,” “Ours,” and those other English ' military plays which have done oredit to the stage, “The Soudan” Is written upon much stronger lines and is 8asily the best military drama, having its préiniere the past season.

S, Gov't Report, Rl Baki Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE WILL NOT OBEY THE ORDER Organized Labor's Demand Treated with In- difference by Board of Publio Works, EIGHT HOURS A DAY RESOLUTION IGNORED Major Baloomhe Denles the Counell's Right to Regulate the Work or Pay of the Street Force—After Omaha Bonda —~City Hall Cullings. The eight-hour resolution of the oity coun- ofl has countoed for naught. The resolution was presented at a recent meeting of the city council by Mr. Munro and was adopted. It recited the fact that owing to so many persons being unemployed that hereafter the street commissioner only require the laborérs in his department to work eight hours each day. Mr. Munro explatned that if this was done employment would be found for more men and that it was both advisable and the duty of the city to do this. Major Balcombe, the head of tho stroet department, said yesterday morning that his forces were mot working by the day. He employs the men and teams by the hour, the former receiving 171§ and the Iatter 30 cents per hour. If ex’ work one hour he says they recelve pay for that hour and if they work ten hours they receive pay for the actual time thus engaged. The major says that an eight hour day will not be inau- Rurated. He belioves that the men employed are receiving the best pay for the class of work porformed and says that the depart- ment is not being conducted as a bureau for favorites. He oxplained that under the provisions of ths new charter that the Board of Public Works shall fix the com- pensation of employes of the department, which was done last spring, and the same is being followed out. e denies the jurisdic- tion of the council in determining the num- ber of hours that the men on tho streets shall work. Rehenring in the Paviag Oase. The motion for a rehearing in the paving case bofore the supreme court will not be filed until the opinion of the court is re- ceived. The matter of securing a rohearing has been turned over to Hon. Frank T, Ran- som, who has been rotained by the council to act with City Attorney Connell. The only point that it is desired to cover in the rehearing will be as to whether the mayor and council possess the right to order astreet paved without a petition from the property owners. Until the opinion of the court is filed the attorneys cannot determine how fully that point has been passed upon. ‘The memorandum given out by the court did not cover that question very fully, which was probably due to the fact that Judge Post was not_present when the case was submitted, and as he promulgated the Bea- trice decision the other two judges did not feel disposed to fully pass upon the ques- tion. Witha full bench it is expectea that an_opinion will be secured, covering fully this paint, which is the most important in the controversy, and that it will furnish a guide for the council in the future that will be valuable and prevent a repetition of the blunders which resulted in tying up the year's paviog during the spring and summer months. Inquiring for Omaba Bonds. Inquiries for bonds continue to be made. Yestorday a gentloman from Weeping Water, with $1,000 in cash which he desires w invest, was seeking information at the city hall on the subject of making & pur- chase of that amount in the bonds. He was given all the information at hand and seomed satisfied that a better investment could not be maae. He promised to submit a proposition to take $1,000 worth within the next sixty days.
