W. Mosher, president of the defunct Cap- ital Nation pon five suits instituted by Receiver Hayden. The judgments aro in the sums of 7420448, #3475, $5,052.50, 5,200,067 ana §2,224.85 respectively, the total amounting to something over $141,000. Four of tne judgments were secured upon Mosher's personal notes left with the bank when it closed its doors, and the fifth, for 843,475, was the amount duc the receiver upon tho assessment of the stock held by Mosher. Other suits are still pending for the upon the stock held by Mosher and Outcalt jointly Ihe entering of the judgmients by Judgo Dundy was pro forma, Neither Mosher nor Outcalt were represented by attorneys, and the cases went by defavlt. All of Mosher's property that can be found was levied upon Among the pieces of property is the residence at the corner of Fifteenth and K streets, one of the fiuest in the city, The property will not sell for near enough to sat- isfy tho judgments. even if the receiver is abie to hold it against the otherattachments that have already been levied Lincoin's Viaduet Trouble. The action of the United States courts in placing the Union Pacific railway into the Fands of Toceivos hins’ realy compiioatsd the relations oetween that road and the ety of Lincoln in the construction of the vinduct over West O street. According to the original contract between the city on the one hand and the Union Pacific and the Burlington rafironds upon the other, the Burlington was to advance the money for five-cights of the structure, and the Omaha & Republican Vaiiey the balance. The viaduct 15 well along in the course of construction and the Burliogton has ad- vanced 1ts five-cighths of the estimates from time to time with commendable promptness. The Omahba & Republican Valley is not able to meet its shure of the assessments, and as it is a part of the Union Pacific system, the city is unable at the present time to force a settlement. The only thing apparently left the city is to go ahead with the viaduet and trust to good luck to recover from the Union Pacific, or more properly speaking, from the Omaha & Republican Valley, when goou times come agan. assessmonts State Depository Law, The recent activity of the three officers comprising the board of approval for the state depository bonds has resulted in a very material difference in the estimation with which the law is held by the banks of the state. Up to the present time seven state depositories have been designated, all within the past eight days. The list’ com- prises the National Bank of Commerce, First_National, Omaha National, Commer- cial National and United States National banks of Omaha, the American Exchang National of Lincoln and the First National bank of Crete. These seven banks are en- titled to hold §410,000 of the state funds. One or two more applications are being con- sidered, the board having n arrangément with Bradstreet's for assist- ance in approving the bonds. Wnen the supreme court meets next- week the ques- tion as to the definition of the term ‘“‘cur- rent funds” will be submitted for an opin- jon, 1f the court decides that all funds in the hands of the treasurer aro included in the description of “current funds” the board will doubtless approve of quite a number of additional bonds. Thero is a fair prospect that within a short time all the funds of the state not actually needed will bo in the hands of state depositories, and that the state will be receiving u_comfortabie inter- est for the use of the money. Pardoned a Conviet. Governor Crounse this afternoon signed a free and unconditional pardon for Frank Huber, 2 young man sentenced to the state penitentiary for one year for grand larceny. Tuber has occupied an unusually large share of public attention for moro than a year. About a year ago he attempled to commit suicide because of the coldness of a young lady with whom he had become infatuated. She rejectea his love and proposal of mar- riage, and he imagined that he could not live without her. His attempt to end his exist- ence failed, however, and after he had re- covered he romained in Lincoln and finally fell into the clutches of the police for the exer- cise of another bit of eccertricity which im- pelled him to steal about §50 in pennies from a fruit stand proprietor. He was convicted after Iying in jail for soveral months. Dur- ing his incarceration he has kept the jail oftk cials in a perpetual state of wor his attempts to commit suicide and his many exhititions of a weak mind. Upon ona occa- sion he declared himself dear and dumb and would only carry on a conversation with his keepers by the use of a slate. He after- wards regained his spcech, and ever since has behaved like & man with a choice assort- ment of machinery in his head. His father, who resides at Jefferson City, Mo., has promised to take the young man home and cure him of his mental disorders. Postmaster in Trouble. Constable Hunger went toDavy this after- noon with a warrant for the arrest of J. H.

Saline Record Made Up, The records of the saline land leases were finished 1n the office of the commissioner of public lands and buildings today and for- warded to tho clerk of Lancaster county. ‘Phore are about 11,000 acres of saline lands Tucluded 1 the record and as these lands have all been appraised by the county com- missioners nothing now remains but for the holders of the leases to walk up to the cap- tain's desk, pay the amount of the appraise- ment and secure their deeds to the broperty Despite the ridiculously low appraisement the state will realize a'tidy sum from the sale of these lands, County Tr ettling Up. The oftica of the auditor of public accounts is an exceedingly busy place theso days, ns the county treasurers of the state are mik- ing their semi-unnual settloments with tho auditor and treasurer. Oue or more treas. urers are presenting their accounts every day and probably a whole montn will elapse before the settlements are all made. It is ubon these settlements that Treasurer Bartley is deponding for resources with which to wipe out a large share of the flo ing indebtedness of the state. He believes that if he can induce county treasurers to make settlements montaly during the coming h \f year that ho can clear away a very large proportion of tie warrant indebted- ness of the stato before the close of the preseut fiscal year.

The little 1l-year-old daughter of the defendant testified thav the accused aid the shooting with a revolver, a chargo which the defense does not deny. Dr. C. D.

D' Quinn spoke up and said he knew Roche was not a Catholic, as he had been brought up with him. e saia he was afraid the Catholics would be mistaken and might aid him by their votes, but he believed the time had come for good Catholics to declare themselves on the right side. “Then Coughlin, who had not said much, put in the remark, “If one of your North Side Catholics don't keep his mouth shut he will be done up.” The purpose of the cross-examination of Quinn was to show that Coughlin's much talked of remark, always applied by the prosecution to Cronin, really upplied to the political ~existence Of some prominent Catholic Autorney Bottum veferred to the fight against Jobn F. Finnerty. who was running for congress. He asked Quinn if he did not know Iinuerty lived on the North Side at that time and that this fact was used against his election from the Second con- gressional district, since he did not liv there. Quinn repiied he thought Finneriy resided on the West Side iu the spring of 1550, Adjourned.
