8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:! WEDN ESDAY, MAY 1804, 30, e ——————————— TENPLES OF PATRIOTISN Lessons Taught in the School Buildings of the Oity Yesterday. PUPILS' HOMAGE TO COUNTRY AND FLAG More than Usual Interest Attached to the Exercises—Gratifying Results of Grand ifforts—Some of the Programs. The appearance of the sidewalks in the vicinity of every school bullding in the city afternoon would seem to justify that every pupil, blg and lttle, carried home an American flag. Memorial day exercises were held at every building and scemed to create more interest than usual in both pupils and parents, a fact probably due to the efforts of the Grand Army to make this feature of Mentorial day observance a marked one At the High school exercises were held by every grade in the forenoon, consisting of essays, orations and music. In the after- noon Rev. 8. W. Butler delivered an address under the auspices of the Sophomore Debat- ing soclety, after which all pupils were called Into the general assembly room to Jisten to a speech by John M. Thurston. The exercises at the Forest school were 1 in the open alr under a beautiful linden the pride of the school ‘clack p. m., with 200 children seated anks around the old tree, and long rows of chairs filled with admiring parents and friends filling up all the available spa the drum and fife began the tale of living remembrance of the honored dead. Then the speaker of the Lieutenant J. W. Thompson, was introduced by the principal, Miss Gassette, ana spoke well and feelingly of those t comrades sleeping 80 well in their “silent tents” in every city and hamlet all over the land. At the close of his address Lieutenant Thompson was presented with a beautiful bunch of pink roses from the children of the fourth grade “God bless them!” whispered one grizzled old veteran as the children rose like a flock of doves for the pretty ceremony called “Saluting the Flag.” With each little I Teld level with the brows in military salute and all those clear, young voices speaking in measured cadence and together, they sald: “We pledge our allegiance to the flag, and the country for which it stands—one nation, undivided, with liberty and justice for all.” Perhaps the most touching and impres ive feature of this celebration was the cere- mony which closed it, called “Bringing the Garlands,” when to the music of the fife and drum the children marched with sol- emn, downcast faces, two by two, with beautiful chaplets of oak leaves upon their arms, and laid them in a fragrant heap upon a low table under the tree. Last of all came the teachers, one of them bearing a sheaf of creamy roses, which she laid with reverent hands upon the top of the green mound. “It Is fitting today,” said the principal, Miss Gassette, “that we should thus testify 1o our heartfelt and loving remembrance of another grave, although in a far distant state —that of Mrs, Kent, the former principal of this school. “All these good friends and neighbors ¥new and loved her, and they knew how Jarge a place the welfare and happiness of this school and this community had in that noble and tender heart. As for us, who come after her, every day we have reason to note the upspringing and growth of that £o0d seed which she scattered, in.season and out of season, with unsparing hand, and to behold the evidence in the young lives un- folding before us of the influence of one high-souled, living-hearted woman. Forest school was largely the creation of her brain and heart, and as long as the name endures s0 long will be cherished among us the name and memory of Mary Kent.” The program in full wa G. A, R.

Miller, a traveling representa- tive of the Katz-Nevens overall factory, was arrested yestorday as a fugitive from Justice. The facts in the case are that Miller was in Sloux City on business and ran short of money. He drew a draft_on the Omaha housé for a remittance, and went to J. F. Phelan, a dry goods merchant there, and re- quested him to endorse the draft. Phelan did so and it was forwarded to the Omaha house. The money was obtained by Miller at Sloux City, but the firm in this city, hearing that Miller was intoxicated and had been s for several days, did not at once honor it. Phelan became alarmed concerning the money. In the meantime Miller came here. Phelan then caused his arrest, Miller was dsked about the case, and said the facts stated were truc; that he had been drunk several days, and that it was owing to this that his firm did not at once honor the draft. He sald, however, (hat now the amount had been’ made good by his firm, and he believed that while he would likely have to return to Sioux City, prosecution” would not follow. i Marriago Liconses, The following marriage licenses were fs- sued yesterday.

KEITH COUNTY SUES WILEY Wants Back a Bonus Voted to Aid in Build- ing a Oanal, BIG DITCH NOT ACCORDING TO CONTRACT Other Conditions Under Which the Subsidy Was Granted, it Is Alleged, Were Not Fulfilled — Other Districts Court Matters. When Sclon L. Wiley, the president of the New Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric Light company, arose from his bed yesterday it was with the full realization that he was the defendant to a $35,000 law sult, brought by the county of Keith for the benefit of Ogalalla precinet of sald county. The sult filed late Monday afternoon by Judge E. R. Duffie, attorney for the plaintiff, who In a petition sets cut the cause of action, showing why the court should find against the electric light magnate and In favor of the cfficers of the county and pre- cinct in the western part of the state. Re- citing the facts, the petition states that on June 19, 1889, the defendant, Solon L. Wiley, filed in the office of the clerk of the county of Keith a proposition contemplating the call- ing of a special election to be held in Ogalalla precinct, at which election there should be submitted to the voters the ques tion of voting $35,000 in bonds to said Wiley to assist in the construction of a canal along the South Platte river from a point near Big Springs to the village of Ogalalla, a distance of thirteen mil which canal should be avallable for water power and for supplying the village of Ogalalla with water. On July 23, 1889, the election was held and the prdposition was carrled by a large ma- Jority vote. In September of the same year the petitioner alleges that Wiley ass ed himself with some other parties and incor- porated the Ogalalla Power and Irrigation company, and a few days later the comtract with the village was executed with the county commissioners and the village trus- The conditions of this contract, according to the terms of the petition, were that th ditch should be from fourteen to fifteen feet wide on the bottom and have a capacity for carrying water to furnish not less than from 300 to 500-horse power, and not less than 300-horse power during the whole of the year. He was also to construct a reservoir in the village of Ogalalla and to give a con- tinual supply of fifty-horse water power, tree of charge, for water works, electric lights and any purpose for which the village should elect to put the fifty-horse power. It was also agreed that the canal should be com- pleted as carly as June, 1890. When the contract was made the plaintiff avers that one of the conditions was that the bonds which were voted to Wiley should not be delivered until he had furnished the county and precinct with an indemnitying bond in the sum of $50,000, to be approved and filed with the county clerk of Keith county. In performing the conditions of the contract and acting for the precinct, the plaintiff avers that the county commission- ers of Keith county turned over to Wiley some $33,000 of the bonds, and that the di covery is made that the canal is nothing like the one which was to have been con- structed. In fact, the plaintiff alleges that the canal fails to furnish any water what- ever during the greater portion of the year. The further charge is made that Wiley has failed and refused to put up the $50,000 bond as agreed at the time when he was awarded the contract. As a result of all of this failure upon the part of Wiley to live up to the terms of the contract, the plaintiff asks that the precinct bonds be declared void and that a judgment be rendered for the amount of money paid, together with the costs and such damages a8 may seem to the court to be just and proper. MRS. SCHI KES ANSWER. Fight Over Horbach's Possessions is Stirred Up Once More, The aged and time worn case of Dorothy and Louis Schields against John A. Horbac was stirred up again yesterday by the plaintiffs filing a reply in the office of the clerk of the district court, and, besides set- ting up new matter, they deny all that is alleged in the answer of the defendant. The origin of this legal fight dates back to the days when the Indians and buffalo roamed in the vicinity of the city hall, while the law suit itself is almost old enough to vote. The fight is over the right and title of a tract of three and one-half acres of ground, not far from the heart of the city, and to this tract all of the contest- ing parties lay clalm. The defendant main- tains that it came into his possession via the purchase route, while the plaintiffs de- clare that they got it with money earned by the sweat of the brow. In the reply filed the wife of Louls Schields alleges that in 1864 -her husband purchased the tract from Horbach for the sum of $1,600, agreeing to pay for the same in labor. ' She alleges that he took a con- tract and that soon thereafter he commenced work for Horbach, building the house which now stands at Seventeenth and Douglas streets, and in which Horbach resides. The agreement, she avers, was that fhe wages for working on this building were to apply on the purchase price of the land, and were so applied. After that, the wifé alleges, her husband worked for Horbach, earning enough to square up the debt, but there was trouble ‘along in 1873, About this time, she alleges that her husband commenced to tarry around the wine cup and one day when he was loaded to the guards he was ap- proached by Horbach, who succeeded in get- ting the contract of ‘purchase and giving a lease for the term of one year in its stead. Soon after that Dorothy Schields avers that she and her husband were efected from the premiscs. — Louls Schields, the husband, filea an affdavit, in which he corroborates all that his wife has said. John Horbach, the defendant, in his answer makes a general denial and shows that he purchased the land in good faith and paid the market price of the same at the time when he-got possession. 1k Me Louls L. Littlefield, Omaha Milk Dealers’ assoclation, was in the criminal section of the district court yesterday, where he was fined $5 and costs for having fractured the city ordinances, in this, that he sold milk without firs having secured a license authorizing him 80 to do. He appealed to the supreme court, the idea of the members of the as- soclation being to make this a test case. In going to the higher court, they contend that the city has no authority to tax the selling of milk, the grounds belng that it is class legislation, and also that It Is against public policy to' impose a tax upon a home product, v Result of a Big Cattle Deal, The trial of the case of the state against John M. Brett was commenced in the crim- inal section of the court yesterday, where the defendant Is charged with having se- cured property of the value of $7,443 by reason of having made false representations. The prosecuting witnesses, the members of the South“Omaha stock firm of Perry Bros, & Co., allege that during the month of May, 1893, ‘Brett visited their place of business and ‘told them that he had & large herd of Appeal, president of the steers on his ramkel in Cherry county and that he was demtrons of securing a loan until such timewas the cattle would be ready for the mmtket, On the representa- tions which werenmade the money was ad- vanced and evergthing was well until about the time when the obligation became due. At that time the members of the South Omaha firm claim)that they went to Cherry county, where they learned that Brett was not the owner ofsany of the cattle which he had mortgaged. «An arrest followed and Brett was takems before a justice of the peace, where hevwas bound over to appear at this term of the district court Brett admits that he got the money from the men who areinow prosecuting him, but declarcs that he got it In good faith and without any intention to defraud. He de- clares that at the time of making the loan, while he did not own all of the cattle mortgaged, he was a partner in the Cherry county ranch and that all of the stock was in existence, Baby Wheeler's Money. The case growing out of the removal of Gust Hamel, administrator of the estate of Burt G. Wheeler, deceased, has been pealed from the probate to the district ¢ where it has been docketed for trial at next term . The suit is the one wherein J when he was probate judge, allowed the ad- ministrator to loan the funds of the estate to his, Eller's, brother. The loan of $1,450 was made to J. M. Eller, a short time prior to J. W. Eller going out of office. The testimony taken in the lower court showed that the loan was upon a quarter section of land in Kimball county, and practically unimproved. The land men of the railway companies, which own vast tracts of land in that portion of the state, fix the value of the quarter section at some. thing like $800. ap- urt, the W.

When asked about the reported transfer of the crop report service of the weather bureau from this city to Lincoln, Captain George E. Hunt, local forecast official, stated that he had received no official intormation to that effect, but he was,inclined to be- lieve that the tramsfer would be made. It is understood -that the two principal factors that have influencedt.the Department of Agriculture in favoring the change have been the more central location of Lincoln and the pull -that has been made to bring about the transfer. Certain parties have been working persistently to this end ever since the service was removed here from Crete; in fact, an effort was made at that time to get it removed to Lincoln, and the parties interested have never ceased work- ing in that direction. Now that Prof. Sweezy, who had charge of the station at Crete, has been removed to the State -uni- versity at Lincoln, the crop report service will proably be placed again- in his hands. The work will undoubtedly have there greater facilities than here, as it has been carried on by Captain Hunt practically at his own expense, while there will now be a state appropriation of $1,000 behind it. It will in no wise affect the local weather sta- tion, except in the way of relieving the oficial of a great deal of work that he had up to this time been doing ‘on the side,” and give him more time to attend to his legitimate duties, as the correspondence con- nected with the crop report is something surprising. —-— Like the Gentle Dew from Heaven Comes blissful peace to a_turbulent, unruly liver brought Into subjugation and disciplined with that grand regulator, Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters, a boon of priceless worth, not only to the bilious, but also to the malarious, the rheumatic, the nervous, the feeble, the constipated, and those whose kidneys and bladder are inactive.

Peachey of this city, with the collaboration of Mr. L. W. Hardy of Chi- cago, has invented a substitute for the over- head trolley, which he hopes to see soon tested by a practical experience on one of the larger street railways of the country. The invention consists of a copper wire or conductor of the required capacity, placed in a V shaped iron trough, and insulated therefrom by glass or other nonconductive material, the trough being firmly held about four inches below the surface of the track and directly underneath the slot n the con- duit. The trough is covered by a movable wall or diaphragm of specially made rubber belting, or other insulating and water-proof material, securely clamped to the down- ward sloping flanges of the trough, thus making an air and water tight chamber for the conductor. 1In the center of the movable wall or dlaphragm and directly over the conductor is a line of copper rivets of sufficient capacity to carry the maximum current required by the motor. These rivets are placed so as to be pressed successively into contact with the conductor by the ten- sion of a trolley arm or traveling de- vice placed underneath the car. A small automatic air pump, working continuously, forces air through' a partially heated coil and into the tromsh, which is kept at a constant pressure cof three or fonr pounds, thus holding the dlaphragm in proper oval position, and supplying the best known and only thorough insulation for the syste The trolley arm, carrying an insulated wire from the motor, 'reaches through the slot and presses the wheel or shoe against the rivets with sufficient force to overcome the pressure of air and push the diaphragm toward the conduetor until contact is made through the rivets.
