TR o A A3 ton Griffin of London, Eng., * Hcense } ‘n. Do Maas and Lily MoNeil Swallow Poison but Are Saved. MANY ANXIOUS TO SERVE THE PUBLIC Position of Court Reporter Under the Suo- cessor of Judge Strode in Dem by » LINCOLN, Nov. 16.—(Special)—Two at- tempts to commit sulelde were made last night and yesterday in Lincoln, the dospair- ing unfortunates in both instances being women. Both occurred in the Hall-Lansing block. Mrs. De Haas some time during the night swallowed twenty-four grains of mor- phine. The services of three physicians were invoked to keep her on this side of the river of death. Mrs. De Haas is the wife of the man after whom Detective Malone re- cently started to Texas. He is charged by ‘Abbott Bros, with having disposed of mort- gaged property, a, full account of which ap- peared in this morning's Bee. The probable cause of the despondency of Mrs. De Haas is the impending notoriety which must fol- lTow the return of her husband with the detective. Lilly McNell went to a room in the Hall- Lansing block, and was soon afterward found in a state of frightful iliness. It is sald that Lilly had quarreled with her lover, a young business man, and sought the young man’s room In the block and swallowed elght grains of morphine. A physician was soon in attendance and Lilly was on the street this afternoon. ANXIOUS TO SERVE THE PUBLIC. A rustle Is being made by John Fairfleld for the position of court reporter under the mnew fudge of the district court who is to suc- ceed Judge Strode. Other applicants for the place are Mr. Mullen, present incumbent, James B, Ferris and Bert Wheeles. The con- testants are somewhat handicapped by the uncertainty which hangs about the successor to Judge Strode's place on the bench. ONE WAY TO GET EVEN. Since the passage of the ordinance releasing the street railway company from the duty of selling six tickets for a quarter, a move- ment is being agitfted to compel the com- pany to pay a license tax on its cars. This tax is advocated principally by the city dray- men, who pay a license of $5 and $i0 each for single and two-horse drays. They com- plain that they,can make but from 40 to 76 cents a day, and want to be relleved and @ portion of the tax shunted on to the street car company which, they claim, s a wealthy corporation, IN THE COURTS. A suit In justice court has been filed by Mrs. Catherine Nisson, to recover from George Rotenbaugh $75, alleged to be due her eon, a youth who was formerly in Roten- baugh's employ. It appears that the boy was taken dangerously fll with typhold fever while at the home of his employer. By par- ties conversant with the case it is claimed that no physiclan was called to attend him. ‘A doctor in attendance upon another person in the same house noticed the lad and In- sisted on him recelving medical attendance. The boy was then taken to the Tabitha hos- pital. Two weeks since the boy's mother, who had been llving in Plerce county, arrived in Lincoln in Indigent circumstances. She succeeded In finding a home in the family of Police Officer John Morrissy. About a week ago, when her son was able to sit up, she recelved notice from the hospital author- itfes that she must take him away. Having no place to receive him, she is unable to do 80. The city physician says the lad is not able to leave the hospital yet. The mother now sues the boy's former employer for money she claims.to be due him, in order that she may provide a place to take her son and give him the care he so badly needs. United States District Attorney Sawyer will bring before the federal grand jury at Omaha next week some additional facts in connection with the Capital National bank failure, Mr. Sawyer will not talk for publication, but it i understood he expects to secure indict- ments against several who havo been promi- ment in the manipulation of the bank's affairs.

Beatrice bas won the champlonship of the southern circult, oconsisting of Pawnee City and Beatrice, Both Omaha and Ashland clalm the champlonship of the northern cir- cult, and the winner will be decided by the executive committee tomorrow morning. POTENT POLITICAL FACTOR. Work of the Arion Quartet In the Late Campaign. YORK, Neb., Nov. 16.—(Speéial)—One of the potent factors of the late campalgn was the excellent music furnished for the meet- ings throughout the state. Never before were there 50 many glee clubs and quartets in service. The acknowledged leaders of this work were the Arlon quartet of York, under the direction of Prof. J. A. Parks. This excellent quartet has used only its own selections, which were composed by the feader, Prof. Parks, and which pieces were used by the best clubs throughout the state, It was organized about five years ago, and since that has sung in nearly every city in the state. The political work of the body was first noticed during the campaign of 1892. During the late campaign the members have attended over fifty meetings. It was a noticeable fact that thelr appearance was the sign for enthusiastic demonstrations, and they were invariably encored until they re- fused to make a reappearance. The quartet is composed of Prof. J. A. Parks, H. Sey- more, C. L. Cowan and F. W. Bodie. Distrlot Court at York. YORK, Neb., Nov. 16.—(Special.)—The dis- trict court, which convened Monday, has as yet done but little work. The only thing done €0 far 1is the disposing of several small cases and running over the docket. It was at first understood that Judge Bates would preside, but it now seems that it will be Judge Wheeler. It is thought that nothing but minor matters will be attended ti this week, while on the coming week they will begin work in earnest. There are over 150 cases on the docket. Miss Auna Steepleton of this place left for Texas, at which place she will be married to Ezra Bodle, formerly of this place. Both are well known and highly respected young people of this city. b John Tripple, formerly of the firm of Trip- ple & Page, left for Maryetta, Pa. The firm is dissolved, and both businesses are now under the firm name of H. C. Pag Mrs. T. L. Davies returned from her ex- tended eastern trip. Mr. Davies met her in Chicago. Two sugar beets ralsed by Judge Mont- gomery were tested and showed 18.4 per cent of sugar. Dow.tt Brovities. DEWITT, Neb., Nov. 16.—(Special)—Leon E. Rogers of Lebanon, Kan., rede into DeWitt yesterday evening on his bicycle, riding the entire distance, 125 miles, during the day. He traveled the first 107 miles in seven hours. The Young People's Soclety of Christian Endeavor of the Congregational church will give a poverty soclal toulght for the purpose ;t. defraying the expense of the minister's re. A good many hogs have been brought in and shipped within the last few days, many of them being very small and in poor condi- tion for shipment. The probable reason for thelr being put on the market In such shape 1s the scarcity of feed and prevalency of the hog cholera. Didu't Forget the Railroad. HASTINGS, Nov. 16.—(Special Telegram.) =The coroner's Inquest over the death of Miss Mary Mokkah was held this morning. ‘The verdict neither blames the Northwestern wailroad nor exonerates it udy Store Girl, * CHICAQGO, Nov. 16,—Dr. Gustavius Hamil- took out a yesterday to marry Miss Kate Helen Crokin, who has been for several years In a State street candy store cashier, FHis age Is given at 64 years, while that of the young woman is 23, Pl BN WH ERN BANDITS ROLD SWAY. Indlan Territory Run by Robbers and Hon- ost Citizens Powerless. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 16.—In the opinion of Major C. B. Moore, & prominent attorney of this city, who has just returned from & trip to the Indian territory, where Bandit Bill Cook and his reckless followers hold sway, the situation in the territory fs Indescribable. There fs practically no such thing as an enforcement of the law and the bandits are virtually unmolested in their appalling depredations. Major Moore spent several days at Muskogee and Fort Gibson, and he says the business men and property owners there are panjc-stricken at the com- plete commerclal peralysis resultant from the reign of lawlessness. Not half of the crimes committed find place in the newspapers; in fact the half has not been told of the terrible condition of affairs. Organized bands g0 from place to place, plundering right and left, and adding murder to their category of crimes when resistance is offered to them. Marshal Crump and his men are sparing no efforts to protect property and life, but they seem to bo powerless to check the sway of the bandits. Major Moore says the sitvation is growing worse all the time, Crime is congenial to a heavy percentage of territory population, hence there 1s, of course, strong opposition from a certain contingent to a change in the present run of things. —iicimn Analysis by the chief chemist of the United States Agricultural department proves Dr. Price’s Baking Powder to be superfor in leavening strength and purity to all other baking powders. S el i GOLD WAS FOR CANADA, Theory of Such Imports for This Country Considered as Absurd. NE WYORK, Nov. 16.—It is generally be- lieved in banking circles that the £200,000 corsigned to the Bank of British North America is for Canadlan account and has no connection with the recent government bond iesue. It will be recalled that the Dominion of Canada recently placed an issue of bonds abroad on a 4 per cent basis and it is not urlikely that this shipment is in payment for some of these bonds. Foreign bankers characterize the rumors of gold imports at this time as preposterous and say that the import of gold would be equivalent to selling gold at $4.87%; that the purchasers of bonds for foreign account can find a ready market for their bills, owing to the low price of exportable commodities and the excellent demand for remitters, and that there I8 no need of any such operation as gold Imports being made unless the price of exchange shall decline materially, ————— COKE STRIKE YET POSSIBLE. Men Solidly Organized and Insist on an Advance \n Wages. UNIONTOWN, Pa., Nov, 16.—The talk of a strike in the coke regions has not yet been realized, but President Davis of the miners in that district says the men are organized solidly, and that the only way a strike can be averted is for the operators to advance the selling price of coal, and at the same time advance the wages of the workmen. PITTSBURG, Nov. 16.—The Rallroad Coal Operators association has concluded to put off further action on the proposed reduction of miners wages until December 1, to await the decision of the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal company, whose contracts with the miners at G5 cents per ton expire on that date. Whether the company will pay the district price or will try to secure another contract -is a question the solution of whick miners and operators are awaiting with in- terest. B e DEBS IN COURT. Motion to Quash the Indictments Continued to December 4. CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—President Debs and Secretary Keliher of the American Raflway union appeared before Judge Grosscup in the United States district court today to plead to the indictments returned against them for conspiracy in connection with the great strike. Owing to the absence of Judge Woods the case was continued to December 4, when arguments of the defense to quash the in- dictments will be heard. Should the motion to quash be overruled the hearing will be held on January 9. Sixty-nine of the men indicted for con- spiracy were in court today and the hearing of all went over until December 4. Should the motion to quash the indictments be over- ruled one of the defendants, probably Debs, will be selected for trial at the January hear- ing, and the result of the other indictments will hinge upon the outcome of the test case. FIVE FIR:ES IN WINNIPEG. serles of Serious Blazes In the Course of single Night. WINNEPEG, Man., Nov. 16.—Winnepeg had a serious baptism of fire between mid- night and 6 o'clock, no less than five alarms having been turned in for different fires. The western Canada block on the corner of Main street and Portage avenue was com- pletely destroyed and the stores underneath, occupled by Wright Bros. & Mitchell, drug- gists, burned out. Loss, $85,000. The Grand Unlon hotel on Princess street was wiped out of existence in addition to several stores and houses. The fire then crossed the street and consumed the large ware- house of Merrick, Anderson & Co., which was filled with valuable stock. The loss in this connection will exceed $125,000. This fire is supposed to have been started by an incendlary, as it occurred in a mysterious way while the other was raging. FOR BRUTAL ASSAULTS. Neck of a Negro at Atchison Is In Serious Danger. ATCHISON, Kan., Nov. 16.—Considerable excitement, which may end in a lynching, has been caused here by the brutal acts of a negro this morning. Between 4 and 6:30 o'clock & negro entered the homes of four highly respectable white ladies living within four blocks of each other and outraged them. The flend was evidently acquainted with the habits of the male folks, as at each place they were absent at the time, The victims are Mrs. Michael Cain, Miss Rosa Cain, Mrs. Grossman and Mrs. Benjamin Foston. Search- ing parties are looking for the negro in every direction and summary justice will surely be meted out to him if captured i il Strike I Possible. NEW YORK, Nov. 16—Russell Sage and George Gould moved before Justice Truax of the supreme court today for an extension of time to answer in the ction brought by the soldiers orphans’ home of St. Louls to re- cover about 11,000,000 for the bondholders of the Kansas Pacific Railway company. Lawyer J. W. Morrison said that the defend- ants knew about the case and ought to an- swer at once. He said that Sage and Jay Gould were guilty of what in plain lan- guage was larceny. Decision reserved. P LA e 1 Passed Through a Gale in the Pacifio, TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 16.—The Northern Pacific steamship Sikh has arrived from Yokohama bringing 3,000 tons of cargo, chiefly silk and tea. Three days out the Sikh encountered terrific gales, which followed her almost into the straits of Fuca. The steamer bridge aft was entirely washed away, as was also the bulkhead in the room of the second assistant engineer. —_— Deny the Alleged U ths.

THE, DESTITUTE Work of Relieving Sufferers from the Drouth Bogun in Omaha, MEETING OF THE COMMISSION YESTERDAY Secretary Ludden Describes the Need and Tells What Must Be Done to Meet the Condition—Whut Has Already Been Accomplished. A meeting of the Nebraska State Rellef commission was held at President Nason's rooms, 407 Brown bloek, yesterday afternoon. This commission Is an organization created by the governor, and has distributing agents of its own selection in all counties where suffering from loss of crops exists. In this work the commission knows no church or creed. Its aim is to judiclously distribute to the people according to their needs. This city has been districted, and several churches have taken up the work of solicit- Ing subscriptions of clothing, food and fuel. The Commercial club has also manifested an interest in the work. Citizens of Omaha will be asked to assist in helping the desti- tute in the agricultural districts, for which this city is the chlef distributing point com- mercially. STATEMENT OF THE NEED. In connection with the work and needs of the relief commission Secretary Ludden said: “I desire to call your attention to the work of our commission, the manner in which it is progressing, and the very imperative de- mand that is made upon us for ald. Since the cold wave struck our state, a few days ago, the demand has gone beyond the supply. It seems to me that the citizens of Omaha, as the commercial metropolis of the state, should in some way be aroused to take a ‘more active part in the work than they have thus ‘far shown. Four years ago your city did nobly in the response that it made. My recollection is that we received but very lit- tle until a public meeting was called, to which the nowspapers gave most loyal support. Whether it was because of the most oppor- tune evening for presenting the needs of the relief work that brought the generous re- sponse I am unable to say. You remember that it was about the first real cold, stormy spell that we had when the meeting was held, and you had simply to call attention to the suffering of the people in the face of such cold and storm, and within forty-eight hours after that meeting was held Omaha had contributed her first one hundred cars of coal. Now the situation in many re- spects, In many parts of the state, is even worse than at that time. I @0 not know that 1 ought to specify the countles, and yet I cannot help calling your attention to some parts of the state, say Boyd county, where it is only three years from the breaking. The people having expended their all up to this erop, had some reason to expect some re- turn now from their labor, but everything is swept away from them. They are in a truly pitiable condition and have no food and not the proper clothing. They must be helped almost irmediately or simply starve. The county has no resources, no possible means of helping them, and what we say of Boyd county we can say of many otker coun- ties in the state, such as Custer, Lincoln, Perkins, Chase, Hitchcock, Frontler, Sherman and others, only that they are not just three years from the breaking. The appeals are coming in upon us forty to fitty a day. It each one would do a little, each of the cities in our state do its share, we could care nicely for all of our destitute. The same cry that was raised against the cities contribu- ting to this work four years ago, we hear today. We have so many poor and needy at our homes, and yet the people will recall that with all the needy and the general re- sponse that was given, no one starved or suf- fered because of the supplies that were shipped out of these cities. “We have distributed already a lary amount of supplies. They have come fro generous-heartedl, noble people of the ast, not s a response to personal appeals made by individuals who have left our state to go east soliciting, but mainly through the vari- ous newspaper articles that have been printed concerning our various conditions. These supplies from abroad will soon cease coming. It will be at least three months before any provision could be made, if the legislature should be so Inclined, as to care for them. I hope the people of Omaha can wheel in line with those who are now con- tributing and aid us in this hour of distress. I know they will never regret it, and when a year rolls around they will never know, except as they see it in printed reports, that they have contributed to this work. A small amount of money from each one will go a great way in the procuring of fuel. The rail- roads of the state aro doing their part in free transportation for our supplies, and I hope that the people will do their part in giving something to carry. A meeting of the committee appointed by the Women's Christian Temperance union to assist In this work has been called for next Wednesday _afternoon at the residence of Mrs. F. H. Pugh, 2613 Davenport street. Ll el Cruclal tests of baking powders were had at the Columbian and Midwinter fairs.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 15.—The Manufactur- ers’ Record of this week will publish spe- cial letters from a large number of United States senators and congressmen, giving thelr views on whether the government should give financial ald to secure the early construction of the Nicaragua canal. The lotters are probably equally divided between the democrats and the republicans. Senator Sherman of Ohio writes he Is thoroughly committed to the construction of the Nica- ragua canal and emphasizes the report made to the senate in favor of government aid. Senator Walsh of Georgia says the Nicaragua canal is now before the business world. He believes it should be built and conducted by the United States government; that it would open new markets for our flelds, mines and factories, and would enable America to compete successfully with European nations for the trade of the Spanish-American coun- tries and the countries of the Orient. Hon. H., C. Lodge of Massachusetats, Mr. Gal- linger of New Hampshire, Hon. Willlam B. Allison of Towa, Hon. C. H. Grosvenor of Ohlo, Hon. George D. Wise of Virginia, Hon. Alexander MacDowell of Pennsylvania and Hon. W. M. Curtis of New York write in a similar strain, each urging the paramount importance of the enterprise to the United States. e MANNING SAYS HE 18 POOR. Anli;ln His Wife's Potitlon for Allmony with a Tale of Foverty. NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—In the action of Mary Manning for a separation from the millionaire banker, John B. Manning, Justice Barrelt of the supreme court has allowed the complainant $500 counsel fees and $300 a month alimony. The parties were married in 1861 and she says he has more than $2,000,- 000 worth of personal property. He says he owes more than a million and that he has lost $186,000 in the past two years. He does not say how much he is worth over his debts. Danghters of the couple make affidavits siding with the mother. They have kept a diary of Mr. Manning's actions, in which he is described as doing violent things and using profanc language. His wite tells of many occaslons when he struck her. While os- tensibly they lived in luxury, their allowance, she said, was penurious. Mr. Manning as- serts that the daughters have frequently said that they would make him disgorge. podbnin, s B Un'on Pacific Keceivers ut Portiand, SPOKANE, Wash., Nov, 16.—A special train of six cars has arrlved over the Oregon Rallway and Navigation bearing Recelvers Arderson and Mink of the Union Pacific, and Receiver MeNell of the Oregon Rallway and Navigation, and other officials of the two systems.

One of the most novel election bets of the season was paid off and settled last night, to the amusement and satisfaction of a large crowd of Holcomb men. Prior to the election, J. W. Bishop and E. D. Cox, both doing business on Sherman ave- nue, made a bet. Bishop was willing to stake any and everything that Tom Majors would win in the gubernatorial race, while Cox was just as sure that Judge Holcomb would come under the wire several laps ahead of his competitor. With this feellng taking possession of the two minds, the two men made the bet, the terms of which were that the loser shouid give the winner a wheel- barrow ride from Locust street to Sixtesnth and Farnam streets. There was also a aide bet between Joe Redman, backing Holcomb, and Henry Rachman, standing up for Majors. The condition of this bet was that the loser should precede the wheelbarrow and toot a horn during the entire journey. It having been settled to the satisfaction ot all that Judge Holcomb had been elected, Cox and Redman declared last night that the bets should be paid. Bishop and Rachman pro- tested for a time, but at last they gave In, and at 8 o'clock last night the procession started on the trip, preceded by some fifty admiring Holcomb men, carrying torches and blowing horns, The wheelbarrow was decked with flags, while upon the vehicle rode Cox in all his glory, Rachman marching ahead and blowing a horn that reached out into the night a distance of some ten feet. Bishop blowed and puffed Like a porpoise, but shortly after 9 o'clock he deposited his man at the Sixteenth and Farnam streets inter- section, having covered a distance of nearly two miles. il WEATHER FORECAST. and Warmer Wenther with South Winds for Nebraska.

It is reported that a D. P. Waters of New York, a gentleman connected with the Tribune, intends btinging suit for $50,000 against Augustin Daly on the score of false imprisonment. Miss Maguire of the Albini Vaudeville com- pany, playing at the Fifteenth Street thea- ter, and whose coster songs have caught the fancy of the patrons of this popular place of amusement, is the wife of Mons. Albini. The Kenwick sisters, who are doing quite a refined turn at the Fifteenth Street thea- ter this week, smging the “Violet and the Rose,” are not strangers to Omaha by any manner of means, having been heard in songs several seasons ago, when Bill Lawler ran the Eden Musee on Farnam street. The laughing and singing donkeys, Jack and Jill, are making a great hit with the Royal English circus and German Water carnival, exhibiting in Chicago. According to their director, Girard Leon, Jack s the only singing donkey in the world, and he is certainly very ludicrous as well as tal- ented, Colonel Foster's fine Shakespearean sense had a terrible shock last week when a dudish-looking man with a copy of Brown- ing under his arm sauntered up to Hooley's box office and inquired: “What's tonight?” “Twelfth Night,” was the response. *Oh,” said the man, “I want to know the name of tho play.” One hundred performers from clubs in Chicago and vicinity are to form an orches- tra, while the capabilities of banjo and Kkindred instruments for solo purposes will bo demonstrated fn classic selcetions from Mendelssohn, Becthoven, Bach, Chopin and others, rendered by Alfred A.

Colonel McCaull, who dled suddenly at Greensborough, N. C., on Tuesday last, was born in Scotland and went with his parents to Virginia in 1857, when he was 11 years old. At the time of John Brown's raid young McCaull, then 13 years old, was living at Harper's Ferry, and joined a party that waded across the Potomac with the Intention of cutting off the retreat of old Ossawatomie, in which they succeeded. Three daughters survive him, his wife having preceded him about eighteen months ago. One of the actors in “The County Fair” remarked to an assoclate at the Barker hotel breakfast table yesterday morning that the dramatic criticism in The Bee seemed to mention everybody from the property man up, except himself. The friend addressed very aptly replied: “You could hardly ex- pect to receive favorable mention when you waylay a dramatic reporter for favorable puftery.”” There is a coldness in “The County Fair” company because of the impolitic re- wmark of one actor to another. New York Correspondenco Boston Home Journal: It is eminently appropriate to sing that song about the “little girl with the little curl that hung right down on her fore- bhead” nowadays, for the sole remnant of the erstwhile popular bang is the tiny love lock that adorns seven out of every nine brows met with in the feminine world. The trolley curl is said to be creating sad havoc in masculine ranks, and many a settled bach- elor has begun to waver in his resolve to cling through a lifetime to single blessedness, on account of the dangerous fascination with been sald that these curls are the invention of the one supposed to be responsible for all naughty but nice things. This Is not true. Della Fox sprung the first forehead curl on a Wang audience one night, and on that fore- head it still hangs, like an inverted interro- gation point, asking, ““Where am I at?" There are other curls, however. . That of Blanche Walsh is a twisted affair, while Caroline Miskel Hoyt's is large and compre- hensive—a “fairy hammock in which to swing sweet dreams.” The curl of Anna O'Keefe, though fascinating, has a consump- tive look. It had originally six hairs, now there are less. Lulu Glaser has a generous curl, which is more like a thatch for the eyes than anything else; while Marie Temp- est's is like a letter 8. The curl of Kate Davis is characteristic, like herself. It is in the shape of a ring, large enough for a bracelet, and plastered down in anything but coquettish fashion. Of course Lillian Rus- sell's is a work of art. It resembles noth- ing s0o much as a wisp of burnished gold dangling between her eyes. The curl of Amanda Fabris is of the wuzzy-buzzy variety, and that of Miss Julla Arthur is of the coil and twisting, spell binding sort. The most lachrymose curl in New York at this time is the one of Miss Olga Nethersole. and tears seem to dangle from every point, and it hooks from the side with a sorrowful twist. Juliet Cordon has a curl of the “touch-me-not” variety. Julla Marlowe has three, each one a poem, and Gladys Wallls two, while Johnstone Bennett is noticeable from having none at all.
