STO0D OFF THE OFFICER Mry, Alfred Osmer Takes Deputy Hoxie for a Burglar, RESISTS HIS EFFORTS TO ENTER HER HOUSE Her Husband Appears on the Scene and Prepares to Take a Hand In the Affair When the Intruder Makes Explanations. LINCOLN, Nov. 28.-—(Special)--A comedy of errors was the result of Deputy Sheriff Hoxle's attempt this morning to serve a writ | of replevin for a piano in the Mrs. Alfred G. Osmer. The the Palace restaurant at 1123 lives in rooms above that number. Action was begun In the county court some time since by Jullus Manger to secure possession of a plano valued at $350 from Mrs, Jennle McCargar. Suit was defended on the ground that she had never given a mortgage on the fnstrument and that it was a gift from her father. In the lower court she won. Op appeal Manger was awarded the plano. Mean while Mrs. McCargar had disposed of her right and title in it to Mrs. Osmer, who took possession of it and has since refused to give it up to Manger. This morning the latter filed suit in replevin and Deputy Hoxie served the writ. When the officer knocked at the door Mrs. O:mer appeared and immediately tried to close the aperture, but Hoxle was ersistent and placing his foot on the door Il threw the door open and entered the room. Mrs, Osmer, a large woman, attempted to prevent him from laying hands on th plano, and a scuffle ensued. The appearanc of Mr. Osmer on the scene and mut explanations followed sulted in Hoxic's obtaining possession of the plano. The affair is explained by Mrs. Osmer, who says: My husband and 1 purchased a plano from M McCargar for $500. We had no knowledge of a mortgage resting on It. When in my room this morning some one knocked on the door. As we had considerable money on hand [ was afraid of burglars. I opened the door cautiously. Thinking it was a day- light robber I screamed and tried to cloze the door. When I found the man was an officer, I made no further attempt to eject him from the rooms. His silence at first created the trouble.” TO STRAIGHTEN SALT CREEK. Salt creek is to be straightened. So, at least, says a gentleman who enjoys the con- fidence of the board of sanitary 'trustees, The commission, he says, will soon a nounce & plan for straightening the cree at the point under discussion. It is not considered certain, however, that the scheme of Mr. Burns will be adopted, nor is the commission inclined to pay him the amount ho has asked for the privilege of crossing his land. The on had thought of running the new along the west *dge of his property, nearly its whole length, merely cutting off a small corner near the northwest. The only parties demanding a money consideration for the right of way in_that section are Burns and Manger. The sailroad land is at the disposal of the com- mission for the purpose of straightening the shannel. The commission, it is understood will secure the condemnation of the channel it needs through the Burns property, and it s satisfied it can pay more per acre for the and it needs than it could pay under the oresent plan, as it will take less land. The Arst of next week this scheme will be ready ‘or inspection and discussion. LINCOLN LOCALS.

Neb., Nov. 28.—(Special.)— time past Mr. McClure, man who resides In the reservation, has been annoyed by other people's horses grazing in his corn flelds. He got tired of it and shut two of them up, belonging to Johnson Edwards, an Indian. Tuesday McClure went away and left the place in charge of Frank O'Clay, his son-in-law. Some of the Indians came after the horses and Frank refused to give them up unless they were willing to pay damages, which they refused to do. They knocked him down with clubs. He grabbed his gun, which happened not to be loaded, and they clubbed him down again and took the gun away and went off with their horses. Frank has gone to Pender to have them arrested for assault and battery. Yesterday a game of “bluft” was played on the reservation at the Hilderbrandt farm, be- tween Joe Hilderbrandt, Lafe Davis and a couplo of Indians, Joe had tied up some of the ponles belonging to the Indians ,which had been grazing in his corn flelds. They came after the horses yesterday and Joe re- fused to give them up. They proceeded to take them. Joe and Davis entered the house and armed themselves with a Winchester and a revolver and came out and commanded them to surrender. One of the Indians pulled out his knife and the other grabbed a hatchet and Davis and Hilderbrandt thought it better to seek refuge in the house. The Indians got their ponies.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Not until today have the officials felt sufficient confidence in their unofficlal list of representatives in the Fifty-fourth congress to send It to the printer. As finally prepared the list shows 244 republicans, 104 democrats and six pop- ulists, one silver representative and one seat vacant, The republicans will constitute more than two-thirds of the house membership. Sec- tionally the republican majority will be dli- vided as follows: New England states, twenty-six; old middle states, sixty-six; mid- dle western states, ninety-two; far western states, twenty-eigh southern states, thirty- two, The democrats secure only thirteen mem- bers in the northern states; California and Massachusetts contribute one each; Illinois, Ohlo and Pennsylvania two each, and New York five. The democrats secure six solid state delegations, those of Alabama, Florida, Georgla, Loulsiana, Mississippi and South Carolina; the republicans sccure nineteen solld delegations, those of Connecticut, Dela- ware, Idaho, Indiana, Towa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, outh Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsi In all twenty-eight contests may be made from the southern states, and a majority of them are to be instituted by republican can- didates against democrats, and there now ap- pears a probability that there will not be so many. Mr. Myers, who it was expected would wage a contest for the seat from the Sixth Arkansas district, is now quoted as aying that hs will make no effort to secure the seat in the face of the fact that his op- ponent is credited with 3,000 majority.

Tilln n. COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 28.—In a petition to the general assembly asking for an investi- gation of the recent election which Dr. Samp- son Pope, the defeated independent candidate for governor of South Carolina, has filed charges are made that United States Senator Irby and Governor Tillman instigated frauds to secure the election of John Gary Evans, he Tillman candidate. The petition asserts that the polling places were barricaded and obstructed so that thousands of Pope voters were prevented from voting, that managers unlawfully rejected many Pope votes, that managers fraudulently abstracted Pope votes from the boxes and substituted Evans bal- lots, The petition declares ‘“these frauds, intimidations and acts of violence committed by supervisors, managers and partisans of John Gary Evans were committed in very many cases at the immediate instance of county chairmen of the democratic party, who, in turn, received their instructions and orders for such action from John L. M. Irby, chairman of the democratic state legislative committee and United States senator, and from Benjamin R. Tillman, governor of the state of South Carolina.” Accompanying this petition was a concur- rent resolution that Dr. Pope be heard be- fore each body of the general assembly, that ho have witnesses summoned to prove his al- legations and that pending the contest, re- turns for governor shall not be opened and tabulated. —_——— AN AI'PEAL FROM MAYOR BEMIS, OMAHA, Nov. 28—To the Editor of The Bee: Information has come to me within the past few days from the most reliable sources—from gentlemen of integrity, who peak from actual observation—that the suf- fering among ‘the farmers in the drouth- stricken districts of our state is exceedingly severe. Families are on the verge of starva- tion; mothers have nothing in which to wrap thelr babes and have no clothing for them- selves except dresses made from gunny sack- ing; underwear and shoes are almost un- known and fuel is a luxury only to be dreamed of. One of my informants, a clergyman, informs me that he has p taken of meals among these farmers where greens of potato tops and mouldy bread con- stituted the only food I am fully aware that there is a great deal of suffering among cur own people, but I believe that our citizens should make a special effort to extend all possible assis ance to the sufferers in our state outsids of our own city. It would be a fitting manner of giving thanks for the blessings we have recelved for our citizens to contribute to- ward relieving the sufferings of these people, What is needed is clothing of all kinds and descriptions and food of all sorts. The governor has very wisely appointed a state rellef commission, which is doing good work, and I suggest that our citizens work through our churches and schools by con- centrating their contributions of all kinds of supplies at these points, and notifying the president of the state commission, Mr. W. N. Nason, who will send for the articles and see to their distribution. Let our people con- tribute liberally toward fhis object as a Thankeglving offering. It will be a most substantial manner of giving thanks, and the giving will In no way impoverish the giver. Any article would be appropriate, no matter pow small. Let us remmber that “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” GEORGE P. BEMIS, Mayor. LINCOLN, Neb.,, Nov. 2.—To the Editor of The Bee: Our commission has to date forwarded for relief purposes over twenty- five carloads of clothing and provisions, and yet the existing distress among western agriculturalists is far from being supplied Wo know over 500 families who must be alded. Many of them are without fuel, shoes or sufficient clothing. It has been suggested that we ask the press to publish a specfal call, to all the churches and citizens generally, to make a special Thanksgiving offering for this charity, every one bringing something—shoes, clothing, provisions of any kind, or money, to their respective places of worship, and let the pastor have some one racelve their offerings, which will be sent for by a representative of this commission, and distributed in a manner that must be satis- factory to every citizen contributing to this worthy object, and prove a great blessing to the hard-working, honest farmers, and thelr families, who have become destitute by the unusual drouth of this season. We sollcit your hearty co-operation in efforts that will make Thanksgiving day, 1894, long to be remembered for the generosity of our eitizens, Teachers of the public chools can also aid in this work.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—President Cleveland has approved and the War department issued an official order carrying into effect the find- ing of the army board in the case of First | Lieutenant B. C.

According to the report of the retir- ing board convened to consider the actlon of Licutenant Welsh in slapping the face of Colonel Crofton, his commanding officer during the fleld maneuvers at Lieutenant Welsh was pronounced to be sane, but found to be suffering with a severe nervous affection, which under any undue ex- citement would, in the opinion of the board absolutely prevent his commanding troops successfully, He will eogage in business, probably In Chicago, | glving turkey ' today. | sparkle, | These who 15 ordered | three- Evanston, | HAYDEN.

An ante-Thanksgivicg program was carried out at the Leavenworth school yesterday afterncon which delighted a large crowd of parents of the pupils and other visitors The pupils from the different rooms were as- sembled in the large hallway of the firsy story and they held excellent literary and musical exercises, reflecting great credit on the methods adopted by the principal and her efficient corps of assistants. Among thoso seeming to deserve especial mention in this connection were Eddie Darst, who played a plano solo, Gracie Buresh and Florence and Minnfe Miller. The vocal music by the whole school was really grand as the large chorus of voices filled the building The pupils of this school will eat their Thanksglying dioners today with the zest of little people filled with the knowledge of having cast thelr bread upon tho waters Each of the pupils brought a contribution to school yesterday afternoon, from meat and turkeys to fruit and nuts for those who are less fortunate, in order that they, too, might have something to be thankful for. The contributions made a large collection and the teachers saw that the poor parents of some of thelr pupils were supplied with enough for a blg dinner. The remainder of the contributions were turned over to Secre- tary Laughland of the Assoclated Charities, to be distributed among the deserving poor today. The teachers having charge of the general exercises at the Leavenworth schoo! yesterday were: Mary A. Fitch, principal; Mary E. White, Louise B. Mann, Annie I Gillis, Helen Thompson, Mabel Jenison, Mima C. Doyle and Margaret K. Boyd. But down in the basement of this building is the most interesting part of the school. It is the kindergarten, under Director Minnie S. Jourdan, assisted by Edith Otis, Carrie Althous, Maggle Forgan, Georgia Parks, and Fannie Tibbetts. ~ In this part of the school are sixty-two bright, intelligent little ones 5 and 6 years old, who have been studying in a practically fllustrated manner the pilgrim- age of ‘“our forefathers’after their landing on American shores until the first Thanks- glviog or harvest feast. The little ones have thoroughly learned the story, and yes- terday they enjoyed their harvest feast as a sort of preliminary to their feast of Thanks- They were seated at a long, low table, arranged in banquet form, and before them were little plates with sandwiches, fruits, muts and with which they were enjoying themselves, having no fear of dyspepsia and other kin- dred ailments. Lighted candles shed a soft radlance over the soene, lighting up their bright faces ands causing their eyes to At a stgn#l from Miss Jourdan thelr volces were uplifted in a simple song of thanksgiving to .Him from Whom blessings flow. Thent they made the good things disappear with little peopls have been changes of the seabon¥ and the preparations made by men, beasts dnd insects for winter, With thelr blocks and’loy buildings they are | able to repeat the whole story, and their work shows a thoroughness of lnstruction. A large number of visitors came to look in upon the kindergarten. A Warrant for Mathew Aubrey.
