' Masdvada i aiy) o HILL'S CASE SET FOR TRIAL ‘nxmm Oourt Designates Decomber 11 for the Hoearing, WILL COME UP BEFORE THAT BODY Judges Dec o that in Cases of This Class Original Suits Can Be Hrought in the BSupreme Court, LINCOLN, Nov. 21.—(Special)—The su- preme court today made an order in the case of the state of Nebraska against J. B. Hill et al, setting the case for trial December 11, In the order the court says: “Ordered that rule 15 be amended to read as follows: Whenever an issue of fact is presented for trial In an original action or proceeding, a commission will be named, com- posed of two resident electors of the state of aifferent politicical afliations, who shall under the direction of the court select such number of persons having the qualifications of jurors in the district court as may be designated in the order for their appointment. A venire for the jurors so selected will be issued by the clerk, directed to the baillff of this court, or any sherift or sheriffs of the state, and shall be served in the manner prescribed for the service of summons. Said commissioners before entering upon the duties of this office shall tako and subscribe 10 the oath prescribed by section 1 of chapter 10, Compiled Statutes.” in the matter of selecting a jury to try the case the court adds Whereas there are presented in this cause fssues of fact which should be tried by a jury, it is ordered that Hon. Willlam H. Munger of Dodge county and Hon. N. V. Harlon of York county be appointed jury commissioners, and that said commissioners shall on or before the 27th day of November, 1894, select sixty persons from the body of the state having the qualifications of jurors in the distriet court, and report the names of the persons selected, accompanied by their certificate to the clerk, who shall immediately i8sue a venire requiring such persons to ap- pear at 12 o'clock noon on the 1ith day of December, 1894, and serve as jurors until the Kurther order of the cour The issues in this case involved the juris- diction of the supreme court in the matter of a trial by jury. In the trial of the case in Douglas county is was set up by de- fendants that suit should have been brousht in Lancaster county and in the district court. The supreme court holds that in cases of this class original suits can be Dbrought in the supreme court, and that either side has the right to ask for a jury. The case involves $236,000 state money deposited in the Capital National bank, which sus- pended. Suit was brought against State Treasurer Hill and his bondsmen. IN THE COURTS. The Board of Transportation is now having prepared the papers for an appeal of the Newberry maximum rate bill case to :he federal supreme court. Articles of incorporation were filed today with the secretary of state of the Lillian Precinct Irrigating Diteh and Power com- pany of Custer county. The incorporators are 8. H. Jewett, H. P. Gates, James Ash, A. Wallace, David McGugin, Frank Doty, Riley H. Sargent, James Dare, W. H. Rus- sell, George Demey, Plinn Metcalf, A. J. Picketts and Alfred Kellogg. The capital stock is $46,000, and the period of incor- poration ninety-nine years. In a decision handed down today by Judge Strode it was held that the Burlington rail- way company and the Burlington Volunteer Rellef department were two separate or- ganizations, financially and otherwise. Henry H. Moore, & Burlington employe, was killed November 11, 1890. He was insured in th= Burlington Volunteer Relief department for $500, with his mother, Charity E. Moore, as beneficlary. His mother brought suit against the railway company and Tecovered $000. Afterwards she sued the relief department for $500. The company put in a defense claiming that the relief d:partment was sim- ply a branch of the raflway company. The court, in accordance with a recent decision of the supreme court, found that it was not @ bar, and gave plaintiff judgment for $500. This afternoon Detective Aubles left Lin- coln for Los Angeles, Cal., having in charge the much wanted and exceedingly trouble- some Thomas Wesloey Van Scievers. At the turn affairs had taken the prisoner vented considerable profanity, not only on the head of the dutiful detective, but also upon his attorneys, who have been lynx-eyed and tire- less in his behalf. There is, evidently, trouble ahead for Van Sclevers in the land of the orange grove and hot tamale, and he, no doubt, fully realizes the gravity of his position. TO PROMOTE IRKIGATION, Nebraska State Association Will Hold a Ses- | sion ut Kearney December 18. ! KEARNEY, Neb, Nov. 21.—(Special)— The next session of the Nebraska State Irri- gation association will be held in this city Tuesday and Wednesday, December 18 and 19. President I. A. Fort of North Platte has been in the city for a day or two and all necessary arrangements are now being made. It is estimated that at least 2,000 delegates will bs present, and special arrangements have been made with the hotels for rate besides lodging and board at private res dences. At the convention held at North Platte last year thero were only thirteen organizations reprecented, and about 600 delegates present; now there are over 100 local organizations in the state and six state sectional organiza- tions, with a total membership of over 1,000. A speclal rate of one fare for the round trip has been secured from all the rallroads from any point in the state, and all officers of local irrigation associations, state and county officers, mayors of cities, representatives of irrigation canal companies, boards of trads, commercial clubs, granges, county agricul- tural socities and ten delegates from each accredited local Irrigation assoclation will be entitled to seats in the convention. Several prominent speakers have been se- cured, among whom are Bishop Cannon of the Mormon church of Salt Lake, W. E. Smythe and others. The business men of Kearney are taking hold of the enterprise with their accustomed vigor, and are bound to make the convention @ success. Circulars will be sent out by the local committee urging all farmers in the surrounding counties to come out, as this is one of the most important questions which Ihey can now e ra'cer. 1t Is hoped and cxp ctel that a bill will be drafted to be presented at the session of the legslature this winter, and the benefils to be derived by the meeting will extend all over the state. It is espe- clally desired and Intended that this conven- tion will be the means of educating the farmers on the subject of irrigation more than anything else, and it is hoped that all who can will avail themselves of this op- portunity. FORFEITED HIS BOND, Nebraskn Farmer Charged with u Eerious Offense Falls 10 Appear for Trial. OGALALLA, Neb., Nov. 21.—(Special)— David Crulkshank was arrested and brought here Saturday charged with an assault on h's A5-year-okd adopted daughter. His examina- tion was set for Monday and pending examin- ation the amount of bail was placed at $2,000. Crulkshank is a farmer and an old resident and has heretofore born a good reputation. e atated that the charge was trumped up y some of his neighbors on account of some #chool district row. He succeeded in getting three prominent business men here to sign his bond for his appearance. When the hour set for trial had come Mr. Cruikshank did not show up and the bond was declared for- foited. Mrs. Cruikshank says her husband left home Sunday morning on foot and claims to know nothing of his whereabouts, and that he was worrylng a good deal, and fears are entertalned that he has wandered away in he hills and perhaps killed himself. Without a mowledge of the particulars in the case pre- Valling opinion here is that he is innocent of the charge. : Exetor's Libel Suit. EXETER, Neb, Nov. 21.—(Special)— County Sherlff H. G.

DISASTROUS Much Property Destroyed Near Fremont and Robert Cramer Narrowly Escapes Death FREMONT, Neb., Nov. 21.—(Speclal)—A prairie fire about three miles north of the city last evening caused considerable damage. It was started by a tenant on the Gibson farm, who was burning rubbish. The fire got beyond his control, sweeping southward and eastward until extinguished. Several hundred dollars worth of hay belonging to H. K. Goff was destroyed and a great deal of fencing badly damaged, the posts burning off close to the ground. Robert Cramer was helping fight the fire, and with his team and buggy was surrounded. He let his horses loose Just in time. He was singed somewhat himself, and his buggy was burned. The fire was eventually stopped by well directed, hard work on the part of everybody in the nelghborhood. A little boy from Crawford, Neb., was recelved yesterday at the German Lutheran orphan home.

Miss Gray acquitted herself admirably, pre- senting the points of law in the case without hesitation and showing a commendable familiarity with the subject Peculinr Story of u Bank Draft. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Nov. 21.—(Special.) —A young man named Charles Davis applied at the business college some weeks ago to ascertaln the terms of the Institution. After he had made arrangements to come during the winter a letter came to his address. There was another Charles Davis in the college and the letter was opened by him. It contained a draft for $150 on a_Pleasonton bank. But it did not belong to him and he returned the letter to Prof. Hargis, president of the college. Yesterday the original Charles Davis put in his appearance, and after a short talk in the professor's room asked if there were any letters for him. The letter in evidence was brought out and its opening by mistake explained. Davis excused that and asked if Prof. Hargis would not step out with him to identify him at the bank. The professor hadn't much time, so he simply would en- dorse the draft—and since then the young man drew his money and no one has seen a sign of him, and it would seem strange, but Prof. Hargis cannot even tell what the man looked like. A telegram to Pleasonton shows that the draft was not bought, but is fraudu- lent. Columbus Merchant Closed Up. COLUMBUS, Neb., Nov. 21—(Special Tele- gram.)—The establishment of ‘T.

Heilman of Foster is one farmer in Pierce county who doesn't think that the summer of 1894 was such a terrible one after all. He raised ten acres of sugar beets, wihch, after the tare had been removed at the factory, ylelded him ninety tons, almost ten tons to the acre. This amount of beets brought him $450, after paying $185 for help, which in- cluded the total cost of planting, raising and harvesting the crop, Mr. Heilman found that ho had cleared $265, which is not 5o bad for ten acres. He also harvested 900 bushels of corn from thirty acres. ~Taken altogether, Mr. H. feels that he can *‘wiggle through’ the winter, thank you. ——————— bout Croup. Croup I8 & terror to young mothers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.—A cablegram recelved at the Department of Agriculture from the agent of the department in Lou- don announced that the English officlals thought they had discovered a case of pleuro-pneumonia in one of the cattle re- cently shipped on the Marviand It was ascertalned that the animal came from Kentucky and an inspector was ordered to Kentucky to examine the herd. Speaking of the matter, Mr. Salmon, chief of tne Dureau of antmal industry, said: “We will be greatly surprised If this is proven to be a case of pleuro-pneumonia. There has been mo pleuro-pneumonta in this country for elghteen years. All cattle shipped, par- ticularly at this time of the year, are sub- ject to exposure at sea. and they frequently contract pneumonia during the voyage. Preumonta {8 not at all dangerous.

SR i+l At Sl R Lo MARRIAGE AMONG APACHES Agent of the Jicarillos and Mosoalleros Oomplains of a Serious Evil, LOOSE PRACTICES AND THEIR RESULTS Children Forced to Marry to Eseape Golng to School—Pueblos Prosperous and Ad- vancing—What to Do with Mixed 1B100d Chippewas. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Captain Levi F. Burnet of the Seventh cavalry, acting Indian agent at Mescalero, N. M., In a report to Commissioner Browning, sums up an evil among Jicarillo Apache Indians of that agency which is found to prevail to a greater or less extent among all western Indians, and more especially among, those still in a savage state. He says: ‘A cause of much trouble on this reservation s the frequent marriages among the Indians. It often happens that a man will get tired of his wife after being married a few months and will then leave her or send her home to her relatives. This may occur several times with the same per- sons, 8o that a man may have three or four wives and the women as many husbands, all vet living, Sometimes the husband threatens his wife and she runs away to her parents They often make up and live together again Several cases have occurred during the past year where paretns have induced a man to marry their girl, aged perhaps not over 13 or 14 years, for the sole purpose of keeping her out of school. It usually happens that the parties soon separate, the girl returning to her parents, often against the wishes of her husband. This causes serious quarrels. I do all I can to induce these persons to live together when once they are married, but there is no way of compelling them to do so. “Polygamy Is practiced to some extent. Twelve Indians have two wives and one has three wives. I advise against this on all occasions, but they do not like any person to interfere with such things. 1 do not see how it can be prevented, as it is an old cus- tom." On the other hand, Captain John L. Ballis of the Twenty-fourth infantry, in charge of the Pueblos in New Mexico, shows that these Indians are making rapid advancement toward civilization CIVILIZING THE CHIPPEWAS One of the problems which Secretary Smith has to deal with is the settlement of the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota. Kor more than six years a commission has been constantly employed trying to have the In- dians settle in one place, and, if possible, take lands In severalty and become of some use to themselves, The effects have been most discouraging. The reason may be explained in a report received from Robert M. Allen, agent of the Chippewas at White Earth. He says: “The Chippewas are composed of nins distinct bands, scattered over 200 miles of territory, and some of these bands have lit- tle or no communication or relation with cach other. All now wear citizens’ dross aud live in houses of some character. When free from whisky they are generally peaceable and easlly managed, but aside from living in houses and wearing clothes I cannot see wherein the full bloods have made much ad- vancement. They are constitutionally op- posed to work and refuse to do it, and it is simply a question whether the government will furnish them with supplies or allow them and their families to half starve, “‘During the long years of residence of this tribe fn this section of the couniry a great many whites have settled among them and married Indlan women, and their offspring now comprise a large portion of the.popula- tion, and especially is this true of the White Earth reservation. These mixed bloods are the prosperous Indians, who do most of the work and furnish the best ex- amples of thrift, making the good showing upon this agency in gardening, farming and stock raising now to be seen. Here and there a full blood can be found who is educated, trying to live right, and prosper- Ing. But this is the exception, as most of the pure bloods remain in idleness, showing little disposition to engage in labor of any kind, all the roseate and sentimeatal reports to the contrary notwithstanding.” He then discusses what he has tried to do in the way of farming in the reservation, offering every inducement in this direction; but the results are far from satisfactory, be- cause the Indians do not want to work They only partially take advantage of the lumbering interests to try and earn their own livelihood, and aithough there are thous- ands of acres of wild hay, the Indian cattls have starved because the Indians would not cut It. The Indians at White Earth have taken their allotments, but those from other reservations refuse every offer of the com- mission to remove thither. Secretary Smith has declared that he will abolish the commission unless something is immediately accomplished. From the reports received the impression prevails that nothing further can be done with the Chippewas. DAWES COMMISSION REPORTS. The Dawes commission, which has been Investigating tho affairs in the Indlan terri- tory and endeavoring to secure the consent of the five civilized tribes to an agrecment of some plan of territorial or state government looking to the improvement of the conditions of affairs in the territory, met today and submitted fts report. Secretary Smith has not had a chance to examine the report and will not make it public until he has con- sidered it. PROTEST TO THE PRESIDENT, Commander-in-Chief Lawler Armod with a Petition from the G. A, K. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Commander-in- Chief Lawler and Adjutant General C. C. Jones arrived here today to present President Cleveland the resolution adopted by the na- tional encampment at Pittsburg protesting against the discharge of veterans of the late war from government positions. President Cleveland did not come in from his country place at Woodley today, so that it is doubt- ful if the Grand Army delcgates will be able to see him. If not the resolution will be left with Private Secretary Thurber at the white house. General Lawler says he does not intend to wake any speech, but will be prepared to answer any questions of the president. He is fortified with data upon the discharges of veterans from the departments, collected by the local posts of the Grand Army of the Re- public. Commander-in- hief Lawler and Adjutant General Jones called at the white house at 2:30 o'clock. They were received by Private Secretary Thurber. Mr. Lawler presented to Secrotary Thurber the resolutions of the last encampment of the Grand Army of the Re- public, accompanied by a statement of the cases of old soldiers who had been reduced and those who, it is claimed, have been dis- criminated against In other ways. General Lawler declined to make the statement pub- lic, but said it was a conservative presenta- tion of the case, based upon facts, and couched in moderate and respectful terms. The organization had mo political ends to serve and no desire to do Injustice to the administration, he said, but felt the facts bearing upon the treatment of old soldiers in the government service should be known to President Cleveland, so any action he might see fit to take should be taken with full knowledge of the matter. It is under- stood the reinstatement of some velerans who have been discharged is asked for. SHUTTING OUT DRIED APPLES. German Government Adopts Restrictive Measures Against Them. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Indications mul- tiply to show that the German government Is pursuing a repressive policy toward importa- tlons from the United States that in the end may call for retallation on our part The latest evidence is contained in a report to the State department from United States Consul Robertson at Hamburg. He says that a movement s being set on foot by the im- perial government looking to the complete exclusion of dried and evaporated apples from the United States, which are found to con- tain more than a specified amount of zine, supposed to have been taken up from the zine frames on which the fruit is dried.

T all fmportant that articles sent from the United States to Germany should be prepared in every direction” so far as to offer no grounds’ for complaint on the part of either German officials or competing dealers such as must be justly and successfully used to in- jure or destroy our trade. At the same time the consul does not admit, without further proof, the full extent by any means of the alleged well advertised defects in our food products that are being claimed in Ger- many. He feels convinced that our govern- ment upon the proper representations will take all necessary steps for the protection of healthful and unadulterated wares of our ex- porters from unfair and unreasonable inter- forence when offered for sale in the markets of Germany, and that it will use every means in its power to bring it about that any re- strictions imposed upon them there are such as are actually justifiable from a sanitary standpoint, are not merely arbitrary and are applled to similar articles when imported from other countries than the United States. Inclosures sent with the report from our consular agencies show that attacks made in the German papers on American products have extendel to American seeds, clover, timothy, etc., which are supposed to have been adulterated and worthless The same consul transmits a complaint from an importing merchant in Hamburg against the requirements that all American mall arms shall be submitted to government test and proof before sale. He says that the additional cost of the process makes it im. possible to sell American arms in competi- tion with German arms. Inasmuch as Bel- glum and Great Britain saved their trade by sccuring German recognition of the sufficiency of tests made at their own gun shops under government supervision, he suggests that American gunmakers combine to secure the same privileges.

The object of the association is to make a study of homeopathic therapeutics and other branches of medical sclence assoclated with the prac- tice of medicine along homeopathic lines. Any homeopathic physiclan in good standing is eligible to membership. The physicians in attendance were W. A. Kitchen of New- market, Ia.; F. H. Hudson of Kansas City; C. F. Menninger of Topeka, Kan.; W. H. Humphrey of Plattsmouth; 0. H. Dorris and B. K. Bailey of Lincoln; G. H. Neal of Falls City; A. P. Hanchett and P. J. Montgomery of Council Bluffs; S. Staads of Essex, Ia.; P. H. Dassler of Minden, Ia.; and D. A. Foote, C. G. Sprague, H. P. Holm:s, Freda M. Lankton, W. H. Hanchett, J. E. Mann, Elia Mann, P. C. Morlarity, 0. 8. Wood, S J. Quinby, R. W. Connell, Mary Brecken- ridge, G. H. Parsell, E. L. Alexander and Amelia Burroughs of Omaha. The forenoon session was of a somewhat informal character, but at the afternoon meeting the club room at the Mercer was filled with those who had gathered to assist in the formation of the new organization and to listen to the discussion of the papers. The most notable discussion of the after- noon came upon the papers presented by Drs. A. H. Dorris and B. F. Bailey of Lin- coln. Dr. Dorris read an exceedingly well prepared paper oa ‘‘Antitoxine Treatment of Diphtheria,” with one upon ogy." nd Dr. Bailey followed him “‘Homeopathy and Bacteriol- WIDE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. The two papers were naturally discussed tegether. In his paper Dr. Dorris related th successes of the antitoxine treatment for diphtheria_as practiced in the leading hos- pitals of Burope. While he did not endorse the newly discovered treatment which has created so much comment In medical cir cles, Dr. Dorrls left the unmistakable im- pression upon the minds of his hearers that he was earnestly investigating the effects of the new treatment with a view to adopting it in his own practice in the event of his being satisfied that it was all that the en- thustasts In the medical world claim for ft. His position was warmly combatted by Dr. Menninger of Topeka, who briefly re- ferred to the former enthusiasm of the medi- cal world over the so-called discoveries of listerism, the Burchard inflation method, the Brown-Séquard elixir of life, Pasteurism, and Koch's lymph for the cure of consumption He called them &l medical fads and medical failures, and he predicted that the anti- toxine treatment would but emulate the his- tory of of the other faflures. He would re- fuse to countenance any treatment or cure that did not come within the scope of the Hahnnemann school, that did not come under the laws of “similia similibus curantur.” It was all right to investigate the:e subjects trom a purely scientific standpoint, but in the treatment of disease homeopathic physi- cians must rely upon the laws of similia, which, he asserted, were as eternal as the skica. Dr. Holmes expressed himself unfavorably to the antitoxine treatment. He claimed that by their haste in adopting the new treatment the physiclans of the old school confessed that they bad learned nothing in 2,600 years, Dr. ‘Montgomery asserted that in the treat- ment of diphtheria the physiclans of the old school had mever been able to reduce thelr NISSOURL VALLEY HOMEOPS‘ percentage of mortality down to a level with the physicians of the homeopathic faith. ~He looked upon antitoxine as a fad that would in due time prove a failure. BAILEY I8 ITS FRIEND. Dr. Bailey came to the rescue of his friend. Dr. Dorris, and, while not entirely endorsing antitoxine, gave his reasons why he looked upon it with some favor. THe ap- pealed to the members of the association to be honest with each other. He a:serted that it was humiliating, but nevertheless true, that some of the claims made for homeo- pathy hy its enthusiast.c followers were not founded on truth. For Instance, he claimed that the frequent boast that homeopathy had an immense advantage over the old school in the treatment of typhoid fever and diphtheria was not founded upon the facts. According to the report of the statisticlan of the American Homeopathic institute, the homeo- pathic school was very little in advance of the old schools, Homeopaths, he declared, were constantly decelving themselves, even with figures presented by men of their own faith. He admitted that he endeavored to procure some of the antitoxine lymph for his own use, but had failed because the supply had become exhausted In this country and several months must elapse before another supply could be secured. Two papers on vaceination were read, the first by Freda M. Lankton on “Shall We Vac- cinate? If Not, Why Not?" Dr. Lankton spoke strongly against vaccination, espe- cially compulsory vaccination. She quoted many statistics to prove that vaccination was not a preventive of the disease of smallpox. The well known statistics ‘rom the French army records were brought out, showing that in the Franco-Prussian war 23,469 cases of smallpox were developed in the French army, every one of which had been vaccinated, and ‘nany of them revaccinated. She cited in- stances in which the most loathsome diseases had been transmitted by arm to arm vac- cination and urged that many deaths from consumption could be traced directly to vac- nation. There is today, she asserted wide spread doubt as to the efficacy of cination. JUST THE OPPOSITE VIEW., The other paper on vaccination was read by Dr. Quinby of this city, and he took just as strong grounds in favor of vaccination as Mrs. Lankton did in opposition. Dr. Quinby strongly favored compulsory vaccination. He quoted irom medical records to prove that while under voluntary vaccination the aver- ag2 number of deaths from smallpox was nineteen out of every 1,000 cases, under com- pulsory vaccination the number of deaths had been reduced to six. Only by thorough vaceination, he contended, could an epidemic of smallpox be mitigated. Dr. Hanchett of Omaha discussed both papers on vaccination at length. Fifteen yoars ago, he said, he had no doubts in his own mind as to the efficacy of vaccination. Now he hesitates before the uses the lance for the purpose of vaccination. With him everything depended upon the absolute purity of the virus, and unless he could satisty him- self as to the absolute purity of the virus he declined to resort to vaccination. At the evening session the organization of the new soclety was perfected by the election of the following officers: President, D. A. Foote of Omaha; vice president, ¥. H. Hud- son of Kansasa City; secretary, W. H. Humphrey of Plattsmouth; treasurer, C. F. Menninger of Topeka; censors, O. H.' Dorris of Lincoln, H. P. Holmes of Omaha, and P. J. Montgomery of Council Bluffs; legislative committee, W. H. Hanchett of Omaha, B. F. Balley of Lincoln, A. P. Hanchett of Council Blufts Dr. P, C. Morlarity of Omaha read a care fully prepared paper on *‘Ocular Manifesta tion of General Disease,”” a ter which the as soclation adjourned to meet next year at Kansas City.
