== T MAKE A QUEER DEFENSE | Thompson and Outealt Not Anxions to Pay Mosher's Debts, AS TO THE RELIEF FUND EMBEZZLEMENT State Alleged to Have Been Negligent n Leaving the Balance of the Money So Long with the Capital National Hank. LINCOLN, May 2.—(8pecial to The Bee)— D. B. Thompson and R. C. Outcalt, both ot whom signed €. W. Mosher's bond when day he appeared to have made up his mind to kill his rival. Some weeks since, it Is stated, he was Instrumental in poison- ing an orange which was given to Johnson. Johnson got away with the orange and_the orange noarly got away with Johnson. This alleged attempt on the part of Young to tako his rival's life comented the love which had developed and bloomed in the hearts of Johnson and the young lady, and they be- camo engaged. This doubtless, was the cause of Young's action In attempting to pump Johnson full of lead. TES INTERESTED, T 8T Irrigationists of Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado in Session at MeCook.

In their answer they set up the somewhat remarka- ble defense that the law by which the com- mission was created was unconstitutional and that, therofore, that body was illegally vrganized, and Mosher's appointment as troasurer was also fllegal. They further al- lege that the sum of $100,000 was deposited In the Capital National bank and paid out upon orders of L. P. Ludden, and that when the payments ceased there was an unex- pended balance of $3351. This the state, they allege, carelessly and negligently al- Towed to remain in Mosher's po for two years, although Outcalt makes davit that at that time the Capital Nation was considered a_good, sound bank and per- fectly solvent, They also claim that ina much as the state neglected to file its claim with the receiver it has lost the 15 per cent dividend which has been paid to the other creditors of the bank. HEARD IN THE COURT ROOMS. Judge Hall will within a few days take up for trial the case of the State and People's National banks against C. W. Mosher. These cases involve the validity of the attach- ments against Mosher's property, as well as the question whether the gas stock belongs to the men who now hold it or to the parties in whose name it stands credited on the books of the gas company. They are among the most important of the suits growing out of the collapse of the Capital National bank swindle, Mrs. Mary Fox abandoned her husband in a thoughtless moment and the district court has given her husband a divorce, HANGED WITH A HALTER. Coroner Crim was notified late yesterday afternoon that a Norwegian farmer named Knud Knudson had committed suicide by hanging near the little town of Davey, one of the small towns In the distant part of Lancaster county. The coroner at once re- paired to the scene of the tragedy and held an inquest. The inquiry developed the fact that Knudson was about 45 years old and that he had committed suicide while laboring under a temporary fit of mental aberration, Ten years ago he lost his eyesight and for the past few weeks he has been melancholy to such an extent that he ate but little and slept less. For several days past he had been asserting morosely that he was a drag on his famaily and that they would be better Off if he was out of the way. Monday night he disappeared and yesterday when his sons instituted a, search they found him hanging dead in the granary. He had tied a halter to one of the rafters. The ceiling was so low that the man had to hold his knees from the floor, thus slowly strangling himselt to death. He left a large family. DISTURBED BY A RUMOR. The law and order people of Lincoln are considerably disturbed over a rumor to the effect that' Lincoln park, tho well known summer resort in the suburban part of the city, is to be transformed into a huge beer garden. Henry Holtz, the well known res- taurateur, Is negotiating for the lease of the park for the coming season, and, it fs claimed, will try to secure a license' to sell liquors. Tt is also reported that it is his intention to use the buildings in the park ns road houses. The law and order people of the city are up in arms and propose to fight the proposition to the last court. They pro- pose to take adanvtage of the law which lg‘lqvue: th“fllc“yl the right to regulate the T traflic with e lauer, in three miles of the city NEW TELEPHONE ORDINANCE, The city council rather unexpectedly last evening passed a new telephone ordinance under a suspension of the rules. The old ordinance, which has been hanging fire for some time, practically gave the Nebraska Telephone company of Omaha a monopoly of the business In this city. The new or. dinance introduced by Councilman Woods last night gives the company a franchise to lay its wires under ground. It provides, however, that all conduits must be laid under the alleys instead of the streets, and makes it Incumbent upon the company to put two miles of cables under ground within one year from the date of the pus- sage of the ordinance. The ordinance fur. ther provides that nothing in its provisions shall ‘be so construed as to prevent any other telephone company from enjoying similar privileges. The rental of telephones Is fixed at §4 per month for business ofess un;lxl §3 per month for residences, with 50 cents additional per month - ditional half mile, " [ercashiag LINCOLN IN BRIEF. Hon. T. H. Darnell of this city was se- verely but not scriously Injured near the Mo: Bride block at the corner of Thirteenth and R streets. He was driving toward O street in a carriage and failed to notice the rapid approach of a runaway team attached to a heavy beer wagon. His horse and carriage were run into and completely wrecked. Mry, Darnell was injured internally, but the phy- slclans who were summoned stated that he ‘was not seriously hurt. A horse belonging to William Picketts ran away this afternoon and plunged into the open doorway of the central fire station at the corner of Ninth and R stroets, The horse ran into the chemical engine and stopped, leaving the carriage a complete wreck at the door. Several firemon seated around the entrance narrowly escaped injury, Dr. Hodgman, who was arrested on com- plaint of Fred Howe yesterday and charged with assault and battery, was fined $2 and costs by Justice Gould. Ho requests The Beo representative to give his side of the story, which is to the effect that Howe called af his office to collect a bill for which he (Hodg- man) held full recelpts. He claims that Howe became insolent and he ejected him from the room without violence.

CREIGHTON, Neb.,, May 2.—As the re- sult of jealousy, R. Johnson was shot by Sam Young, a well known farmer living near this city. Three bullets were fired, the last one striking Johnson in the thigh, wounding him severely. Young was at once placed under arrest and is now in Jail, John- son's wound is not considered dangerous, and under careful medical treatment he will Iikely recover if blood poisoning does not set in, The innocent cause of Young' ward Johnson is the daughter of a Knox county farmer, a handsome and accomplished young lady, the bello of the nelghborhood in Which she resides. Up to one year ago Young had been keeping company with the young woman, and was said to be engaged to her and the wedding day sot. About this time Johnson appeared upon the scene and com- menced paying the girl attention. He was a handsomer man than Young, who at onca became morose and sullen overy time his rival's name was mentioned. The glrl had 10 thought at the time of breaking her prom- fse to Young, but when, It is alleged, he made use of some very strong language re- flocting upon Johnson's character the young lady took the latter's part after ascertaining that the charges were untrue. This brought on a scparation, and Young was denled the yrivilege of calling upon her. From that emnity to- taken in carriages to sec the Mecker ditch in operation, and much surprise was ex- pressed at the completeness of the plant, At the evening session the various methods were discussed by H. H. Benson of Haigler, Neb., and Hon. I. A. Fort of North Platte, president of the State Irrigation association. Great enthusiasm was manifested, and be- yond doubt much good will be accomplished. Tomorrow will be devoted to a school of ir- rigation and developing plans for carrying out a complete system of irrigation. The following is the program: ‘“‘Applied Ir- rigation,” L.

Superlor and Vieinity Suffer the Loss of Many Panes of Window Glass. SUPERIOR, Neb,, May 2.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—The severest hail storm ever experienced In this section passed over here today. Hail the size of walnuts fell till the ground was white. Fully two-thirds of the windows on the south and west sides were broken. A heavy wind accompanied the storm and vegitation was pounded Into the ground and trees stripped of their leaves. Several large plate glass were breken in the Baptist church, GENEVA, Neb., May 2.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—This locality was blessed tonight with a bountiful rain. About 6 o'clock water began to fall coplously and later a torrent, which continued an hour. Considerable small hail fell, breaking a num- ber of windows and stripping trees of foliage. A little, though probably no serious damage was done. The need of this rain was keenly felt here. ELSIE, Neb., May 2.—(Special to The Bee.) —Several showers of rain fell here at intervals Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Prospects for crops are good and growing brighter. Small grain is looking fine and many farmers are planting corn. Wilson's Pathetic Story. FREMONT, May 2.—(Special to The Bee.) —“Reddy” Wilson, alias Howard, who paid the life penalty at Missouri Valley for the murder of the city marshal, while in Fre- mont the night before the tragedy, made a statement to ex-Warden Mallon that com- manded much sympathy for Lim from the bystanders. It seems that while in the pen- itentiary, from which he was rocently lib- erated, he was a barrel maker, and was considered skillful in his urt. His day's work was fixed at twelve barrels, with the stipulation that for all e made above that number he was to receive 6 cents each. By extraordinary cffort he had by this means accumulated $30, which he deposited in the Capital Nationgl hank, and which, of course, went with the Lard-carned money of hundreds of others whose faith was pinned to Mosher's institution. From this state- ment he drew the wonderfully fine moral that the man Mosher, for whom he slaved while in the pen and who robbed him of his hard-earned nickels and thousands of others of their life sustenance, should be lionized and given but five short years in durance, while he, and others whom cir- custances had driven almost to despera- tion, were hounded like foxes for approprl- ating a few dollars unlawfully for the nec- essities of life.

D. General Schofield sald he could see no objection to the request, and that the tents would be sent from Fort Meade, which s very near Sturgis, but that It would be necessary to secure orders from the secrctary of war.

MAILING LETTERS ON TRAINS, The recent order issue® by Chief Clerk Vandervoort in regard to the mailing of let- ters on the trains at Crowell, Neb., has been misunderstood. Some citizens of Omaha have supposed It was a general order, and that hereafter they would not be allowed to mall letters except at the postoffice. Repre- sentative Mercer has .recelved letters from many citizens of Omaha asking for informa- tion ‘upon the subject, and Inquiring whether their mall would be received on the trains. Mr. Mercer has been advised by the Post- offica department that the ecder issued in | the case of Crowell is not a general one, and such an order fs only issued where there is a boycott, and where the citizens are con- spiring against the postmaster. Senator Allen today \submitted a_resolu- | tion, which was considered by unanimous consent and agreed to, directing the secre- tary of the treasury to inform the senate to | what extent the statutes of the United States | against the importation of contract labor | have been violated sinco March 4, 1559, giv- | i ing the same by years, classifying the la- borers thus imported, if any, by nationality | and occupation, and giving the names and residences of the persons importing such laborers in violation of law.

Booze Dispensers Cannot Be Appointed in the Postal Service. WASHINGTON, May 2.—Postmaster Gen- eral Bissel has formulated a policy of bar- ring saloon keepers and bartenders from appointment as postmasters. In accordance With this plan where there are several can- didates the fact that any of them has busi- ness dealings with saloons will be given weight and the other candidates will be given the preference in making appointments, Postmaster General Bissel sald this after- noon he had reached the conclusion a saloon is not a good place to educate a person for the transaction of postal business, though there is no ironclad rule prohibiting the ap- pointment of those wRo may have been con- nected with the liquor business. Mr. Bissel said: “We have appointed men as post- masters who permitted bars in their hotels, though not Interested fiiemselves, but we prefer not to. It is not a temperance ques- tion ner a moral question; it is a business question purely, and the Postoflice depart- ment Is a business institution. From my observation and experience I am convinced any man directly or indirectly interested in the liquor business is in a measure unfitted by his occupation and that his interest in that business necessarily interferes with a full discharge of his official duties in any branch of the postal service. Senate Procecdings Were Dull. WASHINGTON, May 2—The &enate pro- ceedings were rather dull today, most of the afternoon being consumed by Senator Squire of Washington, who made a carefully pre- pared speech in general opposition to the tariff bill. Before he began Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts undertook to enact the role of tormentor. He threw out some exasperat- ing challenges to the democratic side, but the democrats refused to be drawn into a controversy, and finding his efforts un- successful he turned the floor over to Mr. Squire. Before the tariff bill was taken up Mr. Hoar tried to pass his anti-lottery bill, but it met considerable opposition from Senator Gorman, on the ground that it would inter- fere with raflles and drawings at church fairs and made participants guilty of fel- onies. Ultimately the bill went over without action. Gold Shipment Comm. I In Earnost. WASHINGTON, May 2.—The indications are the usual spring outflow of gold has at last set in. Advices at the Treasury de- partment show that about $1,500,000 in gold was shipped by the Teutonic today and 1,000,000 has already been engaged for ship- ment next Saturday. The treasury state- ment of today shows net gold on hand to the amount of §100,25,008. Today's shipment however, will not appear in this daily stat ment until tomorrow, and when the engage- ments for today and Saturday are added the balance will only be about $57,800,000. The cash balance today was $124,852,531. Yeomans Confirmed by the Senato. WASHINGTON, May 2.—The nomination of James D. Yeomans of lowa to be inter- state commerce commissioner was con- firmed by the senate today. The senate also confirmed the followlng nominations: John F.

Senator Walsh said in reply to a question that the bill was intended fo pro- vide for unconditional rep “That is what we want,” he said. “We claim the federal government has nothing to do with the regulation of our state banking institu- tions and ask to have the state bank tax stricken from the statute books. rs Eat QUAKER CHALK TALKS armer — Them's the finest Oats to the Quaker Oats Miil.

It Is the position of the New York senfor senator that has caused some trouble, and there are a number of sonators who belleve, even now, that Mr. Hill will not vote for the bill with the income tax provision in it, and it is almost certain the income tax will remain. Tho senators ar- ranging the compromise are counting on forty-three democratic votes and they will be able to control that number beyond any doubt. This indicates they hope to pass the bill In spite of the opposition of Mr. Hil d it also indicates that the bill has prob- bly been made satisfactory in other re spects to Senators Murphy and Smith of New Jersey. Senator Brice is more outspoken than any other who participated in the con ferenc He said today: “In an interview a few days ago I said the tariff bill had been agreed upon and would pass and I now re- iterate that statement. 1 will say nothing sappeared those en, as to details, but a bill has been agreed upon. The statement 1 made at that time that the democrats had agreed and would pass the bill was a good help in carrylng the Third Ohlo district by the democrats, and T now assert that which I said then was true and the bill will Senator Brice asked If there w: ny doubt about any democratic senator not voting for the bill. He replied he could not say. Three publications today assert they know positively of some of the changes, and that the bill will be materially altered. The fact that when Senator Squire finished his speech today no effort was made to press the consideration of the tariff bill, and that other matters wers considered, and that an executlve session was held, is taken to mean the promise is about completed, and that it may be ready ta be reported in a short time. Late in the afternoon it was stated the vigorous pressing of the tariff bill would be postponed until new amend- ments wera reported, as it was understood that better arrangements can be made for the consideration of the bill when the amendments are announced. It is then b~ lleved the republicans will agree to some arrangements by which the consideration of the bill may proc , without resorting to harsh methcds, as the repubiicans, it is thought, will concede the passage of the bill if forty-three democratic votes are guar- anteed for it. The assertion was made on good authority that by unanimous consent a day would be fixed for a final vote upon the bill. A leading der tic senator, while not committing himself as to the day, pradicted the bill would be disposed of before the 1st of June.
