Lewls McPherson Found Badly Wounded and in an Uneonselon ndition, A man supposed to be Lewis McPherson was found in an unconscious condition near Valley avout 2 o'clock yesterday morning. He had been shot in the right side of the head, and it is almost certain that the wound will prove fatal. He was found near the depot, lying near the railroad tracks, and had ovidently laid there for several hours. No weapon was found in the vicinity.and it looks considerably like a case of attempted mur- der. Omaha ofiicers were notified and yesterday they were watching for the assailant. McPherson is not known here or in Valley, but letters in his possession indicato that he has a father, J. H. McPherson. who is livicg in Brockinridge, Tex. He has been tele- graphed by the authorities, but la night no response had by N The wounded man is under the surgeon in the Valley hotel, but the doctor thinks he will not recover. 1t was reported late last might thac vthe shooting was done by Oliver Dale, who has a brother living in this city who was until some time ago an employe of the New York Lifecompany. From what couid be learned, but not con- firmed, it seems McPherson has Jbeen husking corn for a farmer near Valley and a fow days ago he quarreled with Dale. The men met late Saturday night and renewed the trouble, which resulted in the shooting. Sheriff Bennett was searching for Dale last night, but at last accounts had been unable to capture him. About midnight it was re- ported that McPherson could not live until morning. But meager details could be learned about the affair, as the ofticers would not talk about the matter. e BUSY BURGLARS, Three Robberles Reported to the Police Lust Night. Several burglaries were reported at police headquarters last night. John Sacol's sa- loon, at 1402 Willlams street, was entered and burglarized of four gallons of whisky, several hundred cigars, a fine new overcoat and a small amount of mouey. Auother place was entered on Thirteenth street. Detectives Savage and Bloom were -d&l)uuun to investigate the robberies aud about 1 o'clock this morning tyey discovered w0 young men counting money on the Union Pacific_bridge on Fourteenth street.

(REASING THE CURRENCY Knotty Problem Which the Coming Oongraes Will Bs Forced to Solve. VOORHEES PREPARING TO SKIN SMITH Vilts of Hoosler Vituperation to Be Emptied A Georgln Reformer—Secretary Morton Organizing & Usmpaign Against & Weod. 518 FoURTEENTH STREET, Wasuixatos, Nov. 19, It has been many years since the annual report of the comptroltor of currency has been awaited with as much interest as the one which is expsctea to bo made public within the next two weeks., Mr. James H. Eckels, the comptroller, who 15 a skillful lawyer and making a brilliant record as the controller of the national banking sys- tew, has an opportunity to make a great reputation. It bies within his power to dic- tute to congress the legislation which is anticipated upon the banking and currency questions. There are what appear to be irreconcila- ble differences, not only in the house com- mittee on banking and currency and the senate committee on finance, but among the leading members of the vredominant party upon one or two questions which threaten to defeat all currency legislation. Chairman Springer of the former committee, to your correspondent the other day indicated one trouole which has divided his committee, and which will seriously divide both tho house and senate if the proposition ever comes before those bodies, and is likely to defeat any legislation upon the subject of state bank circulation. Mr. Springer says that 1f it is proposed to *federalize” state banks by extending the national banking ex- amination system, or if in pormitting state banks to issue circulation upon private securities, it is provided that they shall be subject to approval by the comp- trollor of tho currency or the treasurer of the United States; or, if there is a provision that all of the currency shall be printed by the governmeni, in order to make it uniform and avoid the invitation to whole- sale counterfeiting, it will be held shav the law gives to state banks privileges which are not extended to national banks. It will be charged that the state banks are given all of the advantages which national banks have without being requited to meet the rigorous laws under which the latter op- erate. WasniNerox Bureav or Tiue Bre, % Plans for Inflation. Mr. Springer says his committee intends to report a general currency measure which will provide a circulating medium elastic in character and sufticient in volume to meet all emergencies. This means that the vower of the government to redeem in coin, either gold or silver, all of the obligations which it will put out under the new law will be called into question, and that the subject of a bond issue will be arrayed 1n opposition to the issuance of treasury notes. When- ever a bond issue and an issue of treasury notes are brought into conflictthe differences in opinions in congress bocome so great as 10 be almost irreconcilable, and it is believed that if those differences cannot be avoided they will defeat any measure. The free silver mer in both branches of congress are opposed to an issuc of bonds, because it means an enlargement of the interest-bear- g debt. They demand an issue of treasury notes, redeemable, as the outstanding notes are in coin, which may and may not be inter- preted to mean gold or silver. A suggestion has been made that the basis of circulation for national bauks may be changed in such a way as to provide an clastic currency with which the government may meet emergencies simitr to the one encountered in the recent panic. The sug- gestion is that instead of national bank circulatiou being bused on government bonds it be bused upon coin, gold or silver bullion, treasury notes or certiticates of the govern- ment, and that par value of circulation be ed and all the tax on national bank ulation abolished, down to the point which will barely cover the expenss of printing national bank notes and operat- ing the system under the ofice of the comptroller of currency. It is held that national banks would 1ncrease their present ¢ ton from about £140,- which they may have under the law, about 600,000,000 It is true that this would increase the money at the isposal of the government to the extent of nd that if only one-fourth of this amoun 8 necessary to ve held to meet the demands of the banks, there might be an addition of something like §300,000,000 of margin in cash pla at tho disposal of the treasu with which to meet emer- gencies and panics. But if national banks were not permitted to make any profit upon their ci lation there would be no induce- ment for them to take out the full limit of circulation on their capital, aithough they might be required to do so by law. o8 Bottlea Vitriol, 1f Senator Voorhees is half assevere in the public speech on the pension question which he vroposes to deliver when the scaate meets next month as he has been in various per- sonal conversations, be will be sensational in the extre To his frivnds on the streets and in the hotel corridors the Indiana sen- ator, who is skilled in vituperation, has em- expletives which an old ay his tongue to r had occasion to refer to Hoke Smith, secretary of the interior. There is one term which no brave white man likes w hear and not resent that the Ind senator hus used very frequently and with great de- liberation and apphied to the Georgia ary of the interior in his indi: The senator the other day, in tal! rsonul friend, cienched his fist Voo “his teeth savagely, sod employed tho pro- vineial term, “white-livered,” as anplicablo to the man who was suspending pensions and condemning pensioners without a trial, It is true that John J. Ingalls of Kansas fairly “chewed up and spit out’”” the present chair- man of the senate committee un finance in the course of a personal speech a few years #go, but the Hoosier statesman showed a great deal of ability in the use of expletive and denunciution when he made his reply Senator Voorhees may be charged with a great many shortcomings but his bit- terest enemy has never had the hardihood o say that he was not an adept at repartee, or that he could 10t hold his own with any man in congress when ho condescended to get upon the same level of debate. It is stated that Senator Voorhees prepured his tivade against the anti-pension policy of this adwinistration Just before he delivered his great speech in support of the bill to unzonditionally repeal the silver law, and that he added his caustic touches to the secrotary of the intovior. He 1s sald to have read it over to n friend, or to have verbally outlined its character, and that he was advised to refrain from .ts de- livery in connection with the silver s us it would tend to dewract from the fo his primary argument and doprive it of much of its usefulness. With the past mising before him like a dreum and the shadow’ of Hoke Smith, his 1L enemy, hovering about him, it is expacted that Senator Voorhees will ‘try to outdo himself in his great pension speech in personal denunciation and general vitupera- tion.

Dewey, assistant botanist of ghe Agricul- tural department, acting un orders from S tary Morton, has gone o the north- west to make an investigation into the ex- tent of the damage done the crops. The weed was introduced into the couatry about seveuteen years ago in some flax seed, and sowed near Scotland, 8.

Tho sead sprouts in May or June, and by September has developed into a plant from two to six feet in diameter and half as high, forminga dense bushy mass of rizid branches offering an_effectual barrier to the passage of man or beast. At in- tervals of half an finch or less on the branches are clustered three sharp spikes a quarier w haif an inch loug. The full growa vlant, shaped like an inverted saucer, two to six feot in diameter, all grows from a singlo root less than half an inch thek. Like a Besom of Destruction. When the ground 18 frozen in November and the prairie breezes begin to practice for the winter this small root is twisted off and the whole plant turns up on edge like a cart wheel and goes off beforo the swind, scatter- ing seods at every revolution. It takes com- i possession of cultivated lana, choking out the wheat and other crops. The rigid bulky plants often make it impossible to run harvesting ma- chinery, and sometimes even stops slows. 1t is often necossary to bind leather or other protection on the horses'logs before they can be driven among the spiny weeds Trains have been stopped by the thistles anking up on the tracks; prairie fives are arried long distances by the burning thistles blowing across lire breaks. In many other ways this terrible weed causcs serious damage. The movement now on foot in the northwest to potition congress to give the secrotary of agriculture power to institute vigorous measures as was done in the case of pleuro-pneumonia among cattle a few years ago will be pushed by the northwestern members. A judicious expenditure of $2,000,000 now, it 18 believed, would probably exterminate the thistle. Tt did damage to that amount last year. This year the loss 1s twice that sum, and if the woed is allowed to go unchecked there is every probability that the daumage will go on increasing in geometrical ratio.

He failed to see Secretary Lamont yesterday, as the sec- retary had been called to New York by the illness of his father. Manna for the Hungry, James H.

He will consult Sena- tor Kyle tomorrow and will try to reach an agroement with that gentleman concerning the disposal of the vatronage. There are stilla number of land office places to be filled, as well asa numberof other important appointments to be made. Mr. Ward hopes to settle all contests during his stay. 1t is practically settled that a new public printer will be chosen upon the return of Secretary Lamont from New York, where ho has gono to sce his father. The gossips are certain that the appointment lies be- tween McAbee of Illinois and some New York man.

Members of the 'Committee Hopo to Com- plete the Tariil Bill Soon. WasniNGToN, Nov. 10.—The ways and means committee hopes to complete tho tarift bill and give it out to the public about the close of the present week. A fear is ex- pressed by some of the democratic members that the differences which have recently arisen among their number about the policy of an income tax may prolong the flnal com- pletionsof the measure until a later date, but every effort will be made to get the bill be- fore the public at the carliest possible moment. At the general conference of democratic membars tomorrow the discus sion will be resumed as to the policy of adopting an in- come tax, and as all the essential features of the bill practically depend upon the adoption or rejection of this policy the.other details of the measure will probably be held in abeyance until the committee has finally come to a conclusion on an income tax, Representative Cockran of New York is strongly opposed to the adoption of the in- come tax provision, but it appears now that he*ill stand alone among the democratic members unless Chairman Wilson should come to nis aid. The position of Mr. Wilson on the subject is still regarded by the income tax men as somewhat indefinite, since ho has been frequently reported as being in the anamolous position of favoring it in theory but doubting its practicability and its ex- Dediency as & party measuro. Asto the important articles to be added to the free list, there is no longer any ques- tion that they will embrace wool, lumber, iron ore, coal, salt, cotton bagging, binding twine, rice and many other commodities of less importance. The present bounty on sugar will be repealed, but it is still possible the committee may decide to impose a slight import duty in order to sutisty the sugar cane aisers of the south and the sugar beet ers of the west. here is little probability, however, of the duty being as high as that requested by the n Manufacturers association—11f or pound. The highest duty thus far sed is 1 cent per pound and the opinion of most of the committeo seew.s divided between ¢ a cent & pound and ad- mitting it entirely free of duty. BIG PENSION FRAUDS. Ofticiols of the Buremu Expect to Capture the New York Swindlers. Wasmixaroy, Nov. 10.—Oficials of the pension biureau are unusually reticent re- garding the annouucement that the bureau has unearthed at Buffalo, N. Y., a wholesale scheme for defrauding the office. They aro not a little disturbed that the publication should have been made at this time, they fear it will hinder them in bringing the gurity persons to justico.

POWDERLY ON THE STAND, Questions Portaluing to Expenditures of Money Answered by the Labor Leader. PrmaveLenia, Nov. 10.—~The committee on finance of the general assembly of the Knights of Labor has been in session neariy all day. Mr. Powderly, against whom seri- ous charges have been prefoerred, and Mr. Hayes, secretary and treasurer, who made the charees, answered questions in_relation to receipts and expenditures. Tt has been semi-officially stated that the committee would report on Tuesday, at which time sensational features are cxpected. Speaking of the much aiscussed amalgma- tion scheme, Mr. Powderly said it was simply a plan to have a congenial under- standing between all trades unions and those unionists who were not identified with trade orfianizations, in order that their rep- resentatives might meetand adopt measures for the general welfare of the workiagmen of the country and assist each other in all matters where assistance may be needed, without binding themselves in a closer ule. Amalgamation, he said, may be the result at some future time. Congressman Davis, a member of the ex. ecutive board, said the charges made by Mr. Hares would not be sustained. He predicted a vote of 80 per cent of the assembly in Mr. Powderly's favor. PUDDLERS RUMBLE, Actions of Nonunjon Mill Owners Likely to Again Reduce Wages, PITTsBURG, Nov. 19.—The settlement of the Amalgamated association puddling scale at Youngstown, O., yesterday on the basis of $4.75 por ton will affect all mills in the coun- try, governed by the scale of that organiza- tion. Under vhe new rate, the puddlers claim_that under the most favorable condi- tions they will make .73 per day in winter and §2.41 per day in summer, when two helpers are necessary. The cut was made to meet the price paid in nonunion mills, and they now foar the wages of the nonunionists will bo reduced still further, in which case, the union manufacturers may want a still lower rate. The Amalgamated association committee will confer with the sheet manufacturers vo- the sheet scale. The manufacturers want a 10 per cent_reduction and among souie of tha puddlers there is o disposition not to coucede it unless the manu- facturers show good reasons for asking the cut. If there should,bo & disagreement, the manufacturers will start their works at once with nonunion men AL, Exston, EAstoy, Pa., Nov. 10.—Tho Lehigh Valley strike has not creatod the sensation here- abouts that was expected. Employes in this locality to the number of 400 held an enthu- siastic meeting today and endorsed the ac- tion of the committee ordering the strike. Speeches were made by prominent members of tho different brotherhoods urging the men to stand firmly. Th' men claim the freight trafic is completely tied up all along the line. The officials deny this, but adwmit the road 1s bad ippled._ A long train of east- bound perishaole frelght’ passed through here this afternoon, and although passenger trains are moving they are greatly delayed for want of engineers. The engineers and firemen are nearly ail out, while passenger men, who are mostly nonbrotherhood men, stick to their posts.

The family was out atthe time, Mrs. Johnson returned home late in the evening and no sooner had she goue into the dining room than the whole neighborhood was startled by her cries. People in the immediate vicinity ran to her house and found the poor woman lymg on the floor in her dining room, suffering from a violent attack of hysteria, They noticed at the same time that all the eries in the room, mautels, chaivs, curtains, portierres, table linen and other cloth ar- ticles had been slashed toshreds and thrown to the floor in a heap. That was only the beginning of the outrage. In the kitchen the scenc at first glance represented chaos.

Walker Whitesides demands serious con- sideration, not ouly from the theavergoing public but from the critics as well. Handi- capped as he was last night at Boyd's with rather ordinary support, with slow curtains and meager stago settings,his “Othello” was asentient potentiality, a living, breathing re- flection of the Moor who wrought so direfully in Cyprus. Not in a long time has a young actor come so prominently before the people in so short a period as has this young tragedian who scems to have risen from out of the mists to a commanding vosition on the American stage, 1t is a ploas- ure to chronicle a success that at first seemed vague and shadowy, and unless all signs fail Oma today will ring with the praises of this youne wenius who has “‘come out of the west,” that despised section in eastern minds, to take up the legitimate where it was left with the passing of Edwin Booth. It must not bo thought that the Othello of Mr. Whitesides is faultless, for it is not, but there are so many elements of marvelous intuition shown in the portraiture of the Moor that those who went to the theater to jeer remained to pray. Ordinarily the theater-goer will criticise the physique of Mr. Whiteside, which is lithe and symmet- rical, rather than large and muscular, which tradition has associated with this most notable figure in literature, owned body and soul by the “green-eyed monster." But the Moors, and particularly thoso in Venice, were not noted for their herculean proportions. on the contrary, if we are to accept history, they were of ordinary build, sinewy and strong like the weapon which they invented—the cimetor. Mr. Whiteside has a wonderfully pleasing voice, rich in tone and beautifully modulated. And never was the famous speech commencing “*most potent, grave and reverend seniors,” read in such faultless style as was accorded it by this slender young actor, who dominated the one by his earnestness, by the force of a fine dramatic instinct. The Desdemona_of Miss Wolston was a most agrecable surprise. It was finely con- ceived and well read. Sue brought to the part a beautiful stage presence and a sweet modesty that was most refreshing. Coming as she does directly from the ranks of the “society” players, ~having been seen in Omaha last seasoa in ‘‘"Alabama," her tri- umph last night was all the more remark- able. Mr. Vroom made a manly, earnest Cassio, which cannot besaid of Mr. Stockton's Iago, his disposition to rant marring his per- formancegreatly. There was little now bus- iness introduced, the conventional prompt boolk being generally followed, although the drinking scene wherein Cassio is made drunk is somewhat more elaborated than is gen- erally given thisepisode. Tonight Mr. White- side will play “Hamlet,” and theater-goers may anticipate a real treat, Fl'teonth Street Theater. “Oh, What a Night” is a genuine favorite in Omaha, as was evidenced last night at the Fifteenth Street theater, when Charles A. woder and his clever company of actors played to the capacity of this popular place of amusement. Mr, Loder has a pleasing personality and his German dialect flows as sweetly as 4 mountain brook. He is funny with- out overdoing the t of Judpe Pottgeiser. Noxt to Mr. Loder, the major portion of the farce falls to Charles Ed- wards, who plays the opposite part of the Irisnman with delightful unction. Mr. Ed- wards is one of the best low comedy farceurs on the stage, and his work last night caught the faucy of those in front from the rise of the curtain. Miss Mina Gennell plays the soubrette role of Chic admirably. She is a pretty minx and danced and sang her way into vhe hearts of the audience from the very beginning. Harry Shunk plays a negro character witn considerable vim, while a number of clever people, among them several capable young women, assist in developing the story, which goes with snap. —_—— WONDERFULLY QUICK TIME. How the Assoclated Press Gave Out the News from Uonolutu. Cnicago, Nov. 19.—The handling of tho news brought by the steamer Au- stralia from ~ Honolulu was one of the most remarkable achievements in news aunals. Interest throughout the couatry, and particularly 1 Washington, was 1tense and it was confidently expected that the steamer would bring news of a p sible conflict between the provisional gove ment and the representatives of the United States. The Australia arrived inside the n sco harbor at - 9:20 m. time or 11:20 tral copyright of press, cons tral time, and was comploted at Chicago at 12:09 p. m. This letter and_the bulletins wore placed on the leased wire system of the Associated” press and was delivered at all points, including a private copy to Presi- dent, Cleveland, an hour in advance of any other information, official or otherwise. —— CARLIN'S PARTY LOST. Resouo Parties Find the Montana Moun- tains Too Dangerous to Make Hendway. SrokANE, Wash., Nov. 19. —A Review spe- cial from Missoula, Mont., says a courier has been sent back to Missoula from the relief party that started out some time azo to search for General Curlin's son with the io- formation that & permanent camp has been estatlished about three miles above Lolo Hot Springs, forty-five miles from this city. The snow at this point is seven fect deep, and considerable dificully was experienced in hauling wagons and supplies into camp, The weathi has been unusually severe at the headwaters of the Clearwater river dur- ing the past few days, and the impression is gaining ground that all attempts to find and rescue the imprisoned mwen will prove fruit- less. Indian huunters have long since been driven from the mountains by the severity of the storms that have been raging since eurly in October. In numerous cases they have been obliged to sacrifice their horses in order to escape, und it is not regarded that a party of pleasure seekers composed principally of men unused to privation would be able long to survive such hardships. e WILL B VESS. atlonal Cordage Comp Reorganized and Keady for Work.

"‘There 1s no talit of that kind coming from our fellows, said Chairman Breidenthal “The future may dovelop a nocossity for a reorganization of the reform movement and the creation of a new party to take hold of it, but there is nothing in the signs of times now to indicate any such possibility." ——— AFTER INSURANCE COMPANIES, South Dakota Cit.zens Will Not Submit to Higher Rates S. D, Nov. 10.—~[Special to itk Beg.|—The action of the fire insurance companies in raising their rates in South Dakota ts causing a goneral uprising on the part of the people. Kven at the old rates it has been shown that South Dakota is and has been a profitable field for the insurance companies. During the past ten years the voople of this city alone have in premiums £35,000. During that there were losses to tho only £2,500, paid by insurance companies. In retaliation for the raisc in rates the citizens of Chamberlain will hold a meoting in a fows days to discuss various plans look- ing to the curtailment of the business trans acted by the insurance companies here. I'he vlan which scems to mect all the re- quirements and which has boon much dis- cussed during the past fow days, is as fol- lows: Appoint a board of directors of three or four whose duty it shall bo to insure overy business upon the same basis that they are mnow paying insurance com- panies. Take a note from the party lusured for the amount of tho pre- mium, exacting from L) one msured, regardless of ther financial stand- ing, a secured note that would be collectable in thirty days. and by serving all alike no one would have reason to complain in being requirea to give such socurity as would make their paper equal to money in case it was needed to pay off a loss by fire. Thousands of dollars in good notes could be secured, and should a fire occur where the property was thus insured it would be paid on the same basis as adopted by the insur- ance companies. Should there be no fire within the limits of those thus insured in the period ofone year all notes could be returned to the makers and as a city they would be ahead thousands of dollars in the course ofa year. It is almost certsin that somo such plan as outlined will be adopted by nearly every city and town in the state, and the insurance companies will receive a les- son by which they may vrofit in the future.

Srrixerrerp, I, Nov. 10.—Charles Willis, 12 years old, was shot and killed tonight while being initiated into a secret society composed of youngsters whose ages run from 12 to 15 years. The society was called the “S. S, " the letters standing for the Seven Secret Siient Shades. The boys' minds hud evidently becomo flamed by blood-and-thunder literature. They had a cave in the outskirts of the city, the walls of which were hung with pistols, old muskets, a few swords ard oth war- like arrangements. Toaay Lewis Barker and Thomas Winters, two leading spirits in the S, & S. induced young Willis to join the band. initiated after being blindfolded. When the ceremony was about over young Barker pointed a pistol at the Willis boy with the tention of scaring him. Just as the bandage was jerked from the eyes of Willys, Barker pulled the trigger and Willis fell with a b n his h The entire S. S. 8. S. was arrested, but most of them declined to say anything concerning the killing, as to do S0 was contrary to their oatlis. Some of them, however, were frightened into telling enough of the occurrence to emable the coroner’s jury to bring in a verdict of acci- dental death. TORONTO BURGLAR LOCATED, in.
