LINCOLN IN BRIBF. ¢ Judge Wakeley, J. C. Cowin, E. S. Sim- eral and County Attorney Kaley were among the Omaha attorneys in attendance at the supfeme court this morning. The capital city police force is kept pretty Dusy these days enforcing the mayor's law and order regulations, and the principal work of the court s looking after women of loose morals. The weather today has been near the boil- ing temperature and business has been al- most at a standstill. In deciding a case last week Judge Tib- Dets revealed to the attorneys of the city the interesting fact that the city has no mu- nicipal code which can be enforced. The Judge declined to admit a certain ordinance 88 evidence for the reason that in publishing the ordinance the enacting clause, the signa- tures of the proper officlals and the date of ge and approval had been omitted. The ulk of the code is in the came fix, and an endless amount of confusion is predicted in consequence. At a meeting of the city council held this afternoon City Attorney [Abbott presented an opinfon in which he advised the compllation of a new code as the caslest way out of the difficulty. There fs a plethora of politicians on the Btreets these warm days and evenings and all sorts of schemes are being hatched for the fixing of the state conventions. A very wigorous effort will be made by the demo- crats to secure the state gathering of the Taithtul for this city.

OTHERS ARE LIKELY TO PLEAD GUILTY Judge Dundy Addresses Kind Words to the Prisoners and Advises Them to Trust to the Mercy of the Court. FORT SIDNEY, Neb., June 26.—(Speclal Telegram to The Bee.)—The seventeen Weal- ers charged with obstructing railroad traffic at Blg Springs were discharged today, the evidence being Insufficient to hold them. Judge Dundy was far from being a well man when he entered court this afternoon to, listen to the evidence against the other Coxeyites. All of the Wealers were present, and the judge singled out quite a faw of the: boys among them and took them in a private room where he catechised them fully rela- tive to their antecedents and destination. Most of them said -their reason for joining the army was because it was the easiest and best way to get east to their homes. It is probable that the court will discharge many of the lads tomorrow. On reassembling of court Judge Dundy arose from his chair and admonished the Wealers that they yet had time to change their pleas of mot gullty to one of guilty; that during the thirty years of his accession to the bench he had always tempered jus- tice with mercy, and had always taken into consideration the defendant's welfare where they placed themselves in the attitude of penitents before the court; while he did not want to instruct them what to do, he felt it his duty, owing to his enfeebled condition, to warn them from the consequences of & trigl, and would give them until tomorrow morning to consult their attorney. A mur- mur of approval passed among the Wealers, and a slight applause was heard. Several at once came forward to say they appreciated the sentiments of his homor, and would change their pleas It all the charges were withdrawn except that of interfering or oc- cupying property of the Union Pacific. Col- onel Sawyer then arose and said that the charge of stopping United States mail and stealing the engine had not been proven against the defendants, and all they would now be called to the bar for was that of molesting property of the government. L. C. Stocton then informed the court that he would advise his clients to accept the recom- mendations of the court, and the probabil- ities are that all will be united on this proposition. KEARNEY, Neb., June 26.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—The floating contingent of Coxeyites, who are making their way down the Platte river, arrived here about noon today, and tied up to the long bridge south of town. There are about thirty men in the crowd, and they asked for provisions enough to take them to Grand Island. They were supplied, and left at once, as they are in & burry to get to the Missouri river.
