The commissioner feels that he vidlousness, because there Is but point in the state engaged in such enterprise. The report will show that South Omaha, now oc- cupying third place in line of stock promi- nence In the United States, is fast climbing into second place.

Twenty minutes was all the time allowed on the divorce schedule when Anna B. Mickley occupied only that perlod in securing a decrce from her husband, Frank W., in the distriet court. Mrs. Mickley filed a com- plaint alleging gross brutality on the part of Frank, and a lot of other things. The latter was as anxious as the applicant for a divorce, and admitted everything in his answer except the brutality. Mickley is a Burlington conductor, and_ has been living at Twelith and Q streets. His wife secured a divorce from her former husband, A. M. Goldsb; several years ago. The affair at that time created quite a breeze in the T-cal newspapers. Another divorce was granted this morning in Judge Strode’s court, the applicant being Mary L. Stowell. She says she was married to Albert N. Stowell in Benetl, June 14, 1885, and she charged habitual drunkenness, nun-support and cruelty. She was given the custody of their child. Constable Bartram, who is now down in Sprague, will bring back with him for trial in Justice McCandless’ court, Andrew Polcon and_Charles Stevens, who, as sworn to by A. W. Comstock, are violating the laws of Nebraska in that they are disposing of red Ifquor withont baving a license therefor. Comstock says they have opened a sort of club room, in which they dispense the ex- hilarating fluid. John Wichelow was today bound over to the district court in $200 bonds for a burglary committed at the home of' Charles Carpenter last February. It appears that Wichelow told some of the police force that he com- mitted the crime, and afterward denfed it ‘when called up for o hearing. He alleges that he told this story in order to establish an aiibl in a case pending against him in Fremont for burglary. This, however, failed to explain how he eame in possession of some of the clothing taken from Carpenter’s house. ‘Wichelow is the same fellow who once went to the county jail and attempted to hold up the officials while he liberated a confederate, but failed to accomplish his purpose. LINCOLN BREVITIES. Lincoln is agitating the question of a mile track on the Exposition grounds, and the scheme has a great many warm abettors among local horsemen and others. Secretary Furnas, who has given the subjeet no little at- tention, says that it will not take more than $4,000 or $5,000 to complete the work. The leading Majors newspaper in the state, issued as a morning journal in Lincoln, is Just now undergoing a revolution in its typo- graphical department which may result in converting it from a “rat” paper to unionism ‘Whether or not the result of the election has moved it to reconsider its determination to antagonize allied unions, 1t Is certain that Sam D. Nedrey, a prominent Omaha labor leader, s in the city trying to induce the management of the organ to unionize the office. His success or failure will be watched with a large degree of interest all over the state. Sesostrls temple, Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, are making ar- rangements for an elaborate convoeation of the order In Lincoln on the 23d inst. The canvass of votes on the proposition to issue bonds to the amount of §200,000 for a viaduot on Ninth street over the rallway tracks has been made by the city council, but the result will not be anuounced until Monday dext. There is some doubt in the minds of the councilmen as to whether or not the bonds were legally carried, and the question has been submitted to the city attor- ney. There were 2,940 votes for and 2,836 against, and 6,011 votes cast in all. » The question to be decided is, must a majority of all the votes cast be found in favor of the bonds? SHOOK UP THE POLICE. Plattsmouth Magistrate Charges Two Of- fictals with Questionable Conduct. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Nov. 13.—(Special.) —Last night's regular meeting of the city council furnished something of a sensation in the shape of a communication from Police Judge Archer in which that magistrate filed @ strong complaint agalnst Policemen Murray and Woodson. The judge alleged that the officers In question while using his office as police headquarters during the night had gone through his private papers and corre- spondence and had made known the contents about town. The judge petitioned that the officers be dismissed from service and at first & few of the council seemed disposed to act in that manner, but the matter was finally set- tled by forbidding the officers the right to use the office as headquarters and separate rooms were ordered secured for that purpose. Three weeks ago a trio of solicitors for a forelgn building and loan association can- vassed the ‘town for subscribers of stock and they met with fair results, something like one hundred shares of stock being sub- soribed by people of this city. One repre- dentation was that a payment of $1 was first required on each share and thereafter the monthly payment per share was to be one-half that amount. The money was first required before certificates of stock were de- livered and to the consternation of stock- holders it then developed that all of the first payment was reserved as a membership fee, not one cent of It being applled as payment on stock. Stockholders were again treated 10 a surprise when the by-laws were de- lvered, for in them was folded a poster ‘Which gave the information that in case of Wwithdrawal 15 per cent of all money paid in could be reserved to defray assoclation ex- penses. Stockholders claim that the whole scheme has been misrepresented from the very start and they are now withdrawing at & rapld rate.

CELEBRATED TOU SOON. Butte Voters W ored Majors Had a Double Dose of Crow. BUTTE, Neb, N 13.—(Special.)—The Majors republicans had a grand jollification Thursday when the first returns from the state were recelved indicating the success of the republican ticket. The cornet band was secured and the town was painted a carmine tint by the supporters of “Tattooed Tom," who claimed everything in sight. Great was their chagrin, however, when the corrected returns were received, and the men who asking the people “What will Rosewater * and “I didn’t care whether Majors was a scoundrel or not, but I just voted to down Rosewater,” are nowhere to be found. Boyd county takes the cake for having the banrer populist precinct In the state. Morton cinet gave Holcomb fifty-three votes and Majors two. The discovery made by the we | populists that the frauds of 1892 were to be | repeated here and the complete frustration of the scheme Monday was the cause of the | larga vote polled for Holcomb in this county. |1t was the Intention of the conspirators to cause the arrest of the Spencer election board on a charge of fraud committed at the bond election October 16, and caure them to be br tht to Butte, where bail would be re fused, thus preventing them from serving as ction officers Tuesday.

A more erestfalle fit could not have been found, and the reg- ularly elected board was on duty Tuesday, destroying the only hope the Majors men had of carrying the county for their candidate. Holcomb's plurality was 163 Republicans elected their candidate for county attorney, W. T. Wills, by a plurality of forty-four, the populists having made no nomination for the ofiice.

Two Murderers Sentenced to Remain Jull and Awalt Haoging. LARNED, Kan., Nov. 13. — Harvey and Arnold, the murderers of Mayor Marsh of Kinsley, were taken before Judge Vandi- vert this morning at 8 o'clock, where they pleaded guilty to the charge of murder in the first degree. The sentence imposed by Judge Vandivert was imprisonment in the state penitentiary until such time as the governor shall decide that they shall be hanged. The boys were taken on the 9 o'clock train for Leavenworth by Sherift Heath, but not until a mob had_ gathered and threatened lynching. Judge Vandivert convened court an hour before the regular tme in order to frustrate the would-be Iynchers. The boys are 17 and 19 years old. It is not likely” the men will be hanged unless they meet with summary vengoancs. There hus not been a judiclal hang'ng in Kansas for many years.” Under the law the courts have only power to give life impris- onment, the governor alone being clothed with the authority to order the death pen- alt These murderers were brought to justice by a lucky accident.

Dr. Towne was caMled out Monday night to attend a girl named Hart, who lived on Pa- cific street near the shot tower and was sup- posed to be almost within the realm of the grim destroyer. The girl's father called up the physiclan by telephone and exhorted him to hurry or he would be too late to save the girl's life. Dr. Towne hurrledly dressed and faced the cold wind, in the expectation that 'he was golng to be just in time to snateli his patient from impending dissolu- tion. He arrived at the house indicated, to find his patient lying on the bed appar- ently unconscious. He examined her closely, but was unable to find any trace of disease. Her pulse and temperature were normal and there was nothing to indicate that the fears of the father were well grounded. He ad- ministered a stimulant, but it appeared to hava no effect. Somewhat puzzled by the queer symptoms o the case, he questioned the rest of the family, and finally the father reluctantly admitted that earlier in the eveming the &l had manifested a vigorous disposition to set aside the parental authority, and that authority had been upheld by virtue of a slipper, which had been religiously applied in_the 'old fashioned w This afforded the physician a pointer, and he soon tumbled to the real state of affairs. Somewhat nettled at having his rest broken on account of a girl who had determined to get even for a paddling by frightening her parents into a belief that she had gone into a mortal syncope, he concluded to get a little even and cure the patient at the same time. Assuming the most grave anxlety he made another examination of the patient and as- sured the trembling father that her condi- tion was indeed serious and nothing but herolc measures coul afford relief. Watch- ing the girl's face -closely while he spoke he noticed a momentary expression of sur prise, which was not noted by the family and was confirmed by his diagnosis of the case. As a preMmhinary measure he or- of the patlent werg placed He saw that the lquid was abdut ¥s hot as any mortal could stand, but the girl was game, and be- yond a slight start as the hot water touched her skin she retaitied her semblance of un- consciousnes: A he physiclan shepk his head and de- cided that more decided methods must be em- | ployed. There was ¢vidently a serious con- | dition of the bowels which necessitated the use of the knife. /hiintestines would have to be removed plecemeal, scraped and cleansed and then put back again. Still server could see thotone eye was slightly opened enough :o shy gould observe the sur- geon as he opened his instrument case and 1nid out half a dozbi Uf the most formidable weapons at his command. Picking up a huge dissecting knife=he advanced - toward the patient, but this wax more than she could stand. With a yellsthat could be heard for two blocks she sprang from the lounge on vhich she had been lying and grabbing a chair she stood at bay in the further corner of the room, one of the most lively corpsts that ever escaped the cooling board. This gave the game away, and after an apology to the physiclan for his unneces- sary trouble the slipper was once more called into requisition, and the young lady will get even next time in some other way. Ward 1s Suspected. Charles Ward was arrested last night by | Officer Sullivan. Sultivan has been on the watch for the man for several days. Last uight he noticed him in Coldsmith’s saloon at Ninth and Capitol avenue. As he entered Ward went for the back door and Sullivan went outside to head him off. Ward, how ever, had concealed himself in a dark closet and it was in there that the officer found {bim. When searched by the officer Ward | in the sociological world were gathered at | ure for the dered a tub of hot, water, In which the feet | the patient held her’ground, but a close ob- | had nothing on his person, but in a corner of the closet was found a loaded revolver. Ward told Sullivan that be had just come from Detroit. At the station he said that he halled from Montana. To explain why he had the revolver in his possession he said while he was in Montana he had rescued a boy from “Texas Red,” who was beating the lad with a potato masher, and after that Texas had sworn to have his blood at the first opportunity, Ward had concluded that it was his duty to protect his blood, and he had consequently invested in the weapon. The police think that Ward bas come neither from Detrolt nor Montana, but from Sioux City. They also think that Ward is a house- breaker and that he has been working at his trade between that city and Omaha.
