BEN BAKER NUST EXPLAIN Department of Jnstios Lnsists on Having the Mosher Scandal Aired. ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY DETERMINED He Desires to Know Why the Omaha Om- el Took the Liberty of Exomerat. g the Bank Wrecker's Friendly Jaller. 518 FOURTERNTH STREET, Wasaixgros, Nov. 10, When the news reached the Department of Justice that the district attorney had given to the public his whitewashed report of Sheriff Bennett's conduct in paroling Bank Wrecker Mosher, without first having obeyed the rney general's injunction to fnvestigate and report to his superiors, the prediction was freely made that the over- zealous Baker would lose his official head. On the 26th of October Attorney General Olney r to District Atworney Baker m to investizate the charges ean. That commt u demand for areply after the tion should be mad Wasnixgrox Bormav or Tax B!l,} with er Mr. Baker wrote to the ting that_he would look Not a line has since been him on the subject by the attor- ney general, though the Omaha official is reported here to have exonerated Bennett by published statements; this, too, before he had cowplied with his chief's request. Such a bre »f official etiquette is un- kunown in depart ntal circles here, and is usually punishable by dismissal. It does not matter what the district atiorney founa in his investization, his first duty was o write his report and send 1t Lo the attorney general. The attorney general will not talk on the subject, but his official friends say he is likely to take summary action. “If Mr Baker should be dismissed it would create no surprise here. Nedging on Tarift Reform. The majority members of the ways and means commitice beld another secret ses- sion st the capiloi today after a public hearing had been granted upon the proposed income tax and the treatment of suear. was again developed at today's secret ses- sion that many questions in the new bill which had been supposea to be settled were now reopened, and thatas a result of the republican victories on Tuesday the original variff program of the democracy would be somewhat modified Bituminous and other black coal, other cite, which now pays s auty of ton, will not go upon the free list as originally intended. 1t will probably pay a duty of 50 cents instead of 75 cents a ton. It has been practically determined that the present duty on window glass will be re- duced 60 per cent. The majority of the com- mitted contends that thereis little labor in blown glass and thet the quty should be re- duced to a point barely sufficient to cover the difference between European and Amer- ican labor as they have figured it. Plate s, the cost of which is almost wholly in flhof will be protected almost up to the present duty. The duty on plate glass will Pprobadly be reduced 15 per cent. As to Tin Plate. Tia plate will not ultimately go upon the free list, uithough it is designed at present 10 place it upon the free list on the bill as it will be reported to the house. The uunder- standing is that the senate finance commit- tee will restore 50 per cent of the present tin plate duty when the revised bill1is received oy that body. The subcommittees having the twosub- i:cu in hand have split upon sugar and the come tax. Ten days ago the determina- ion to pluce a duty of 1 cent a pound on raw sugar was abandoned. Since the election the subject has been reopencd, upon the de- mand of the Louisania delegation. Senator ‘White, followed by nearly if not quite all of the Louisiana delegation in the house, nas demanded that one-half of the bounty shall be retained on sugar and a duty of at least one half of 1 cent added. The intimation is made that while the entire bounty may be abolished by the house bill, and no duty levied, there will be a secret understanding by which the seiate finances committee will comply with the demand of the Louisiana- isns. In the contest by Senator White and bis followers, all of whom are ardent ad- ministrationists, the president will lay his band upon the tinance committee and insist that the wisbes of Senator Whiie shall be satistied. Will Not Tax Private Incomes. The proposition o tax private incomes has been abandoned. The entire majority mem- bership of the ways and means committee is Doy trying to devise a plan for taxing the incomes of corporations. It was found that a tax upon private incomes would be unpop- vlar and that there could be no machinery aevised wherevy the government could ac- curately ascertain the amountof such in- comes. A law can be framed, it is con- tended, which will compel corporations so to register tleir stockholders and report their incommes as w enable the government 10 successfully tax corporation incomes. The covclusion of some cays since to in- crease the whisky tax 1o $1 a gallon and the tax upon malt liguors 1o § a barrel stapds, although there are members of ihe cum- mittee Lo intimate that the result of the brewers, protest may lea d to a modification of tha figures. It is the intention of the ways and means committee to drafta bill for tbe house, which will fairly represent the pleages muae in the Chicago platform. In doing this, however, there will be a tacit understanding with certgin democrats in the senate who are opposed to making iron ore, conl and sugur absolulely free, that the radical bill as it will go from the house to the senate will be modified by the lsiter body to meet their demand. Wl Not Chunge the Senate. Althougt unprecedently sweening, the re- publican victory of Tuesday will not di- rectly change Lhe political complexion of the United States seante. Wher ever a United States semutor is to be elected by the legis- lature chosen on Tuesday, the political color of that body is now the same as when the sitting sevator was elected. The nearest proach 10 a change is in New Jersey wbere the hold-over members of the upper braunch of the legislature will vole for Sena- tor McPherson's successor, but there are so day will probably have no material wfluence in the senatorial election a ycar hence.

B MOSHER BOOEED FOR THE PEN. Champagne Charley's Little Game Will ~Not Work with Judge Dundy. Attorneys representing the creditors of the Capital Natiooal bank st Lincoln have recently been in conference with Judge Dundy, trying to get a modification of the order issued Monday directing that Mosher be started for the go ment prison Sioux Falls within five days, unless a m is made in the meantime 1o secure his testi- mony. The last applicatioa in this direction was made Thursday by Mr. Harvey of Lincoln, ‘who declared that Mosher's testimony in some of the cases would be indispensable, and he urged that Mosher be kept nere until those eases could be brought to trial It apvears, however, that it will be im- possible 1o have these cases heard at the coming term of the federal court, because they cannot so soon be made ready for trial. Certain evidence has still to be obtained from parties 1: New York and the receiver of ihe bank will go there in a day or two, if he has not already gone.for this purpose. It seems certain from whnat Mosher has already said, or refused Lo say, that in one important respect the atiorneys for the creditors . are doomed to disappoimtment. While Mosher is willing to testify iu some of the cases, it is said that there is arcely any doubt that he will refuse to give evidence in the suits brought against the stock- holders, or in any case where his Lestimony would be damuging Lo any of bis friends. Judge Dundy was asked if Mosher could not be compelled to testify under pain of punish- ment for contempt nf court. “Such attempt compulsion in his case would do no good,” replied the juage. ‘I might commit him for contempt, but in that event he would lie 10 some jail here, and that, with the five-year pesitentiary sen- tence hanging over him. is just what he would want. His cond uct at Lincols owed that contempt has no terrors for him. Judge Dunay has refused to modify his order, but sunother little matter impedes Mosher's progress Loward Sioux Falls, and he will make bis home at the county jai) 8 few weeks longer. This maiter is the alieged misconduct of oficers who have had the bank wrecker in custody.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN ACQUITTED AT ONCE One of the Jurors Dismissed by the Court for Engaging in & Suspicions Trans. action with the Defendant’s Attorneys. Laxoous, Nov. 10.—[Special to Tax Brm.] ~The work of securing a jury in the case in wirich Frank Hubbard is charged with hav- ing defrauded the state out of several sums of money on supplies bought for U ated with Dan Laver progressed without in- cident until this forenoon, whes the mon- otony was relieved by the discovery that the attorneys for the defense had undoubtedly been tampering with the jurors already coepted When the court convened Attorney Gilice- son, who is associated with the prosecution | of the case, requested that Frank Morrissey one of the jurors accepted yesterday, be placed on the stand. Mr. Morrissey, vaho, by the way, gentleman of the same name who lived in Lincoln as the private secretary of Gov- ernor Boyd, took the stand. Mr. Gilkeson sked him if it was not a fact that 3 rday afternoon with two attorneys for the defense. Mor- rissey admitted that he haa, and pointed out Attorneys Courtney and Billingsley as the attorneys referred to. He stated, in re- sponse to & few well directed questions, that he had walked down town with the attor- neys and with them went to a saloon Here the attorneys set up the cigars. ln re- spouse to_ further questioning the juror ad- mitted that Courtney bad asked him to stand by his client. Created a Sensation. This admission created something of a sen- sation in the court room. Courtvey helped the embarrassed jurorout of his predi ment by asking him very pointedly if it was not a fact that the case referred to was not one which was now pending in_tbe supreme court. The juror very promptly accepted y out and_saia that the case was vending in the supreme court. He neglected to explain just what the nature of the case was or how it was that he could be expected to have any influence with the supreme court. Judge Tibbetts stopped the farce of a crossexamination before it could proceed further. He ordered Morrissey 1o step down and out and kad his name struck from the list of the jurors. Then the judge stood the remaining jurors up iu a row and gave them a severe lecture as to their conduct, intimating in words which even the duilest juror could not fail to understand_that further escapades similar to Morriss would result in both fine and_imprisonment. The work of examining jurors was then resumed ana the box filled ‘shortly before noon. The jury was_finally made up and consists of Heary Fiaker, George Hempel, T. C. Busboom . Hazard, F. J. Bur- cham,William Thursby. J. B. Dohuer, David Ileck, Perry Swenson. J. B. Barnaby, E. W. Hecker and Michael Shea. Tried to Get om the Jury. The unusual incident im the court room y had its counterpart on the first day of the trial when H. D. Hathaway. one of the proprietors of the State Journal and & wit- ness for the defense, undertook 1o secure a place on the jury. Hathaway is a brother- in-law of Dan Lauer, who was 1ndicted with Hubbard for practically the same offenses. He was one of the witnesses in the Lauer trial, being called for tb~ aefense. The evidence in the two cases is practically the same. -Hatbaway's paper has all alocg de- fended the asylum boodlers and has edi- torially denounced the witnesses for tne state as blackmailers. And yet, when his name was drawn as a juror he testified that ne could render a fair and impartial verdict in the case and that he was in no wise prejudiced for or against the defendant. Judge Tibbetts refused to allow him toserve as a juror. War Over a Press Pranchise. Several afidavits were filed with the clerk of the district court today in the casein ‘which the State Journal of this city seeks to restrain the Western Union Telegraph com- pany from stopping its Associated press re- port. C. B, Horion. assistant superintend- ent of the Western Union, alleges that his company is not the proper party to the suit, being merely the agent of the Associated press. He ciaims further that the report which had been going to the Journal bad been stopped before the restraining order had been applied for; that the Journal never had any franchise in the Northwestern Associaled press; that it did have a fran- chise in theold Western Associated press, but that association had gone out of exist ence last July: that the Journal had been supnlied with the Northwestern report since that time; that the Western Associated press wae now owned by the Uniied Press association and that it was distincily a rival association and under an enmtirely different management. ‘William Penn Nixon, editorof the Chicago Inter Oceac, alleges in another afidavit that the Western Press association has passed out of existence and that the Northwestern association is in no wise responsible for any of 1ts debis or contracts, the former baving passed into voluatary liquidation. Melville E. Stoae of the Chicago Recora alleges in his affidavit that wheo tbe West- ern Associated press went out of existence the Journal was furnished the Northwestern report with the distinct understanding that the Journal was 1o sigo a new contract with the Northwestern and that the report was discontinued for the reason Lhat the contract nad not been sigued. Mr. Rosewater of Tee Omans Bme furnisnes still another afidavit to the effect thai the State Journal was nota member of the Western Associated press and it 1s noi now a member of the Northwestern associa- tion; that it merely held oertificates enti- tling it to the report; thatfTue BEE pays $15,000 for the NortLwestern report and that the Journal can secure it by the paymeut of & like sum; that the Western Associated press and the Northwesiern were Lwo sep- arate and distinct companies and that no streich of imagination could make them re- spousible for each other's obligations; and that the Western had been killed by the dis- loyalty of its own members. Al Want the Keward. Joe Conway, the man who claums to have been the first 1o discover tbe presence of the Weeping Water murderers in Lhis city last Friday night, has sued Chief of Police Cooper and Tom Akeson for $300 reward mouey offered by the latter for the discov- ery of the fugitives. When Chief of Police Cooper turnod the men over o Sheriff Tighe he collected the $300 and then a question as 1o its division arose. Conway offered Coover and City Detective Malone $100, while they in turn offered him §100. They ook the position that they were informed of the presence of the murderers in the city by several parties all unknown to them. Two men, who give their uames as Morris and McDonald, are under arrestat the po- lice station for stealing an overcoat from W. R Dennis of this city. The overcoat was recovered.

Dr. Dio Lewis n & magaziue article says: A radical madical treatment of a disease of the man's it is a diseaseof the man, showing itself in the nose—a local exhibitien of a comstitutional trouble. Therefore, Le argues, the use of snuff and other local ap- plications is wrong. and while they seem to give temporary relief they only do more harm than good. Other leading authorities agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence theonly proper method of cure for catarrh is oy taking s constitutional remeay like Hood's Sarsa- parilla. which, reaching every part of the body through the blood, does eliminate all impurities and maxkes the whole man healthier. It removes the cause of the trouble and restores the diseased membrane o proper condition. That this 1s the prac- tical result is proven by thousands of people who have been carea of catarrh by taking Hood's Sarsaparila. Not AMUSCMENTS. The more one sees of Felix Morris the more one longs to realize the entire gamut of his versatlity. Morris is not hedged about by the conventionalities of the stage. He seemingly scorns episodes and goes with force to the kernal of his characterization, compassing it, whether English, French or Scotch, by the rare gifts of acting he pos- sesses in so eminent a degree. But “Champague, which he and s company produced last night at Boyd's theater, is hardly the proper venicle for the Qisplay of the talents the American Buckstone is known to possess. Written up 10 date, the action of the play taking place in New York and the World's Fair City, “Champagne" falls like a wet blanket upon after an acquaintance with ‘ousin Joe,” or Major DeBoots. It is conventional in treatment and devoid of situations, except%chat the players have made themselves of the material furnished by Mr. Van Zile, the author of the two-act comedy. Although hampered by the lines, Mr. Morris playea the pars of Lord Cavenaish with admirable discrimination, but even the versatility of this wonaerfully clever comedian couid not lift the pall that the play cast upon the audience. The full strength of the company was brought out by the play, a number of right pretty and talented young women being introduced, heaged by Miss Stuart, who shows fine training in all the characters she has assumed during this engagement. One of the bright hits of the -play was contributed by Mr. Frank B. Haich as the English valet to s lordship, & very carefully wrought-out study..of a typical Eoglish servant. “Cousin Joe” jerminated the evening's fun, sending the audiemce home in jolly humor. Two new pl 11 be given touight, “The Vagabond” and “Moses,” together with “Cousin Joe™ as & fitting finale 10 an artistic engagement. e NEWS }O i THE ARME.

One of the largest spot cash real estate trapsactions that have recently beem re- corded in Omaha was consummated Thurs- day between F. B. Kionard and J. L. Bran- deis & Sons, proprietors of the Boston Store. By its terms the Boston Store acquires from Kennard the leasehold to the full lot, 66 by 132 feet, situated on Sixveenth street, just north of the Boston Store huilaing. The lease has about twenty-five years yet to rup, and includes both real estate and im- provewents. The price paid was $35,000. The lot is at present occupied by the Golden Eagle shoe store and Darst's liquor Store. The sub- leases to these buildings expire next April, and then the Boston store people will ersct on the lot a building sunilar in style, mate- ral and size to their present store. This will give to the compsny & ground floor 182 feet square, a larger dry goods siore room than any between Chicago and San Fran- cisco.

He retired as usual last evening and was soon asieep. Between 11 and 12 o'clock he was awakened by a noise and found three men beside his bed. Before he could makean outcry or offer resistance the men seized him, and after gagging him they bound him with ropes. They them went through the safe, which they succeeded i opening after hatf an hour's work. The whole time occupied in the proceeding was not over an- hour and @ robbers quictly departed for help, but it WAS ot un- til afver 5 o'clo this morning that he sue ceeded in attracting the attention of a passerby, who eutered the office and cut the ropes. The burglars sacured between $40 and $50 in cash, but they did not touch the stamps or_niokels and pennies.
