MAY DISHISS THE CASES Discouraging Features of tie Acquittal of Dan Lauer at Lincoln. ALLEGED STATE PLUNDERERS MAY ESCAPE Two Lancaster County Commissioners in Fuvor of Vigorous Prosecution Until All Legitimate Resources Ha: Falled—The Situation. Lincory, Oct. 21.—([Special to Tux Ben.]— ‘The people of Lincoln are wondering if the other cases against J. Dan Lauer are to be tried, or whether the county attorney will look upon the acquittal of yesterday as a sufficient excuse for woving that the other cases by dismissed. The fact that the state has been defrauded in the matter of the management of the asylum at Lincoln is patent to every one, and it is also plain that there was no very great effort to get at the facts of the caso during the trial of Lauer, Lauer's friends, of course, aver that the ver- | dict was in accordance with the evidence, but it seems that there was slight effort to got what evidence there was out of it. The evident sentiment of the people is that the cases be pushed untilitis evident that a conviction cannot be secured on any of the counts in the indictments against the state plunderers. ‘I'wo of the county commissioners, while realizing the great influences they bave to combat, are in favor of pressing the suits, no matter what the expenso may be. The jury ‘was out four hours, and the first vote stood mix for conviction and six foracquittal. fEx-County Attorney S and J. R Gilker- son, who were retainod by the state to assist in the prosecution. are not at all buckward about expressing their dissatisfaction with she verdict, and are heartily i favor ot going ahead with the remaining counts m the indictment against Lauer. There are siill fourteen counts pendiug ugainst Lauer and Hubbard, nine for forgery and uttering foigod trunsfors of property, ana five for obtaining money under falss preteuses, the ease just tried being undor the luter count. The cases again D.

A protest has been fllod with the county clerk against placing the name of Eli Bates on the Australian ballot with the title of ““People's Independent” candidato for the office of commissioner. Bates was nomi- nated by petition. The protest is signed by members of the populist party, who claim that if Bates uses that name it will tend to befuddle the intelligent voter on election day. If the clerk rofuses to heod the bro- test he will be enjoined. Adams Gounty Affairs. HasriNes, Oct. 21.—[Special to THE Bza.] —The democratic city caucus put up the following ticket: Assessor, J. W. McClurg; treasurer, W. Letson; clerk, Aaron May; justices, W. S. MeKinney and Joseph Flick ; constables, J. H. Eigenberg and Henry Get- man; supervisors, F'rank Taylor, John Gray, Aaron Powers and Ed Monroe. Part of these were endorsed the populist ticket. A separate building for the pupils of the High school is now the interesting topic. The large increase in the number of pupils and the added departments in the scientific and banking course are the reasons given for the demand. The kunowing ones are now sure that neither Batty nor Wahlquist will receive the postoffice appointment, but that it will be given to some one not heretofore men- tioned in that connection. During the absence of Mr. and Mrs. D. f, Ballard burglars entered their house and stolo about $100 worth of jewelry. It is thought that the burglars in this case are residents of Hastings.

CHicAGO, Oct. 31.—At & meeting of the Western Passenger association it was de- termined to establish an important bureau in New York under the supervision of Chair- man Caldwell, which was to route all the immigration business. The Union Pacific has put a stop to the scheme by retusing to have anything to do with it unless all other transconuinental lines are in it. This is equivalent to killing the thing, as it is hope- less to think of getting the Southern Pacific, Great Northern and Northern Pacific. “The Union Pacific will now havea chance to make contracts, and that means a de- moralization of business, as roads anxious for business will cut rates. The Atehison declares that if there is to be a retorn to old mothods of chasing after emigrant busi- ness it will put domestic rates on the same footing us immigrant rates. To do this it will be obliged to withdraw from the West- ern Passenger association and that means trouble all around.

Knights of Pychias, Nebraska and Myrtle lodges of this eity are both holding very interesting sessions this mont! At the session of the grand lodge of Ili- nois at Decatur another effort was made to exclude saloon keepers from membership in the order, but it was a failure. The point was sprung thav such exclusion would necessitate an entire change of the by-laws, and the matter was referred back to slumber for another year. The hottest discussion of the day was on the report recommending that the supreme lodge cause the new ritual to be printed in German as well as Euglish. This ught a number of orators to their feet in different parts of the house, aud one flaunted a tele- gram stating that the Missouri grand lodge 8t St. Louis had voted agaiust the proposi- tion 200 to7. That did not scare off the German element and its friends. It was shown that there was not a German lodge in St. Louis, and it was contended that loug ago, when the order was weak in numbers, the supreme lodge promised German rituals 10 get the Germans into the ranks.

At Marengo the whole town seemed to be out, and several democrats climbed on the train to tell Gov- ernor Foraker that they had discovered their error and would vote the republican ticket this fall. At Brooklyn the party was joined by Hon. F. R. Conway, president of the Iowa Republican league. Here Mr. Blythe and Governor Foraker both made short speeches to the assembled multitude.

Continuing, hesaid: “We ate just now passing through acrisis, Last fall the democrats promised to repeal those laws, which have done so much to build fine farm houses and other im- provements, which we see around us.

People are hoping, and even the democrats themselves ‘are trusting that the pledges made last fall will not be kept, as the i oy of the demecratic party is since it came into power. The L can understand it. There are some things a democrat cannot understand, but when it comes to hard times and the cause, & demo- crat can understand, as well as anybody.

Yes, but not up the way they desire them to. The democratic senate, with the help of the president and the support of the republicans, is made to repeal the law to which they attribute all our woes.” At Griunnell the lowa college boys gave the college yell as a salute and as the gov- ernor appeared three carnesy oheers were added. Governor Foraker spoke briefly, predicting that both Governor McKinley and Frank D. Jackson would be elected by over- whelming majorities.

It is addressed to “the ministers and official laymen of the northwest Nebraska couferonce, the northern half of the Wyo- wing mission and the Black Hills mission conference,” and the call is signed by Rev.
