JOE DAVIS STILL IN PRISON Hax Laio There & Year as a Sacrifice for His Brother Uhatles, QUEER CASE OF CONFOUNDED INDENTITY ©no Nrother Sentonced to Thirty Days in Jail wnd the Other to Two Years in Frison They Change Places, and LINCOLN, June 14.—(Special)—What ap- pears to be a modern case of Damon and Pythias has recently developed in the peni- tentlary since the incumbency of \Warden Leidigh. Nearly a year ago Charles Davis received a penitentiary scntence of three years in Omaha for burglary. At the same time Charles' brother, Joe, was sentenced to thirty days In tho Doublas county jall. Charles is married, while Joe is not. The two brothers look very much alike. When the turnkey of the Douglas county fail called for Charles to escort him o the penitentiary, Joe came for- ward and was hustied off to Lincoln and bookel by Warden Beemer as Charles Davls. Soon after this Mrs. Ch Davls called at the Jail and asked to see her husband was told that he had been taken to the pen- ftentlary. She repiled that It was not so, as she saw him then, and pointed him out. This gave away the scheme, and Charles was cordingly conveyed to Lincoln, Warden Beemer refused to make an exchange of pris oners without proper legal proceedings, and as Joo Davis had no money and no attorney he has lain in the penitentiary now for a year under a jall sentence of thirty days. A man, sald to be a Quaker, residing at Curtiss, Frontier county, but who signs him- selt Rev. P. M. Daley, has been lately flood- ing the office of Governor Holcomb and Sec. retary of the State Relief Commission Lud den with lurid word painting of alleged desti- tution in his vicinity. He has even threat ened in onc letter to Mr. Ludden to attack railroad trains. The local relief agent at Curtiss is W. A. Bradbury, but it has been found difficult to secure from him a confirma- tlon of the stories told by Daley. However, today Governor Holcomb consigned to Brad- bury three tons of flour. HOLCOMB ANSWERS HORN. Today Governor Holcomb, by his attorneys, Donnell & Kirkpatrick, filed his brief as re- spondent with the clerk of the supreme court in the case of the State of Nebraska, ex rel, O. Horn, relator, against Silas A. Hol- comb, Governor of tho State of Nebraska, re- spondent. This Is the case in which Horn, a8 treasurer of the board of trustees of the Nebraska City Institute for the Blind, soeks to compel the governor to approve his offi- cial bond. The governor contends that the olection of the six trustees of the Institute for the Blind by joint vote of the two houses of the last legislature was illegal A populist afternoon paper is one of the things for which arrangements are being made fn Lincoln. It is probable that it will be a fact within two weeks. It Is to be the Nebraska City Independent moved to Lin- coln and given a new name. That paper is now owned by Warden Leldigh of the peni- tentiary. It is said the editorial manage- ment_will be in charge of R. L. Bolding, a populist newspaper man now employed in somo work at the penitentiary, and Henry Huckins of Nebraska City, who has con- ducted the Independent. The case of Regina Morrow, plaintiff, against William O. Gilbert, administrator of the estato of Emily Hespeler, defendant, comes up from the district court of Douglas county, Judge Ambrose presiding, to the su- preme court on petition in error. In the court below plaintiff alleged in her petition that Emily Hespeler made an assault upon her, knocked her down several times and used abusive and fnsulting language, besides threatening to kill her. This occurred on January 81, 1893, and on the first day of May following the assault was repeated, and again repeated on July 4. Plaintift accord- irgly sued defendant for $10,000. The jury brought in a verdict for $4,000 for plaintiff and a_motion for a new trial on the part of defendant was sustained by Judge Ambrose. In the secund trial the jury found for the defendant a1d a motion for a new trial was overruled. ifeantime Emily Hespeler died and the caso was revived in the name of Henry O. Gillert, special administrator, de- fendant, and the case brought up to _the supremeé court, Regina Morrow, plaintift in error, against Willlam O. Gilbert, adminis- trator of the ustate of Emily Hespeler, de- ceased, defendant in error.

DECATUR, Neb.,, June 14.—(Special)—A fight took place on the reservation yesterday that may result in the death of one woman and one man. A drunken Indian named mpson went to a nelgh- bor's house, broke the door in and at- tempted an assault on the wife of Daniel Grant. Grant was at home and hearing the noise rushed in and picked up a club and beat Sampson, the Indian, nearly to death. Sampson is covered from head to foot with wounds and bruises and now lies in a pre- carious condition. The doctor was out this morning. The woman's head was split open by some blunt instrument in the hands of Sampson before the arrival of her husband. It is very uncertain as to whether she will recover or not. All parties are Indians. e — As sea girt rocks resist billows, Dr. Price's ing Powder confronts tricky competition. the best.

QUALITY IS INFERIOR TO AMERICAN Anatralla and Now Zealand Also Shipping Some, but While the Quality Is Good the Costs of Shipment Eat Up All the Profit, WASHINGTON, June 14.—Dr. Salmon the Bureau of Animal Industry of the partment of Agriculture has received the bureau in Great Britain a very Interest- ing report in regard to imports of live cat- tle and sheep from Argentine and other countries, This report shows very large gains in the fmports of live cattle into Great Britain from that country. These Importa- tions began in 1891 with the shipment of twenty-two head. In 1894 the Imports of cattle had increased to 5018, while 37,235 head of sheep were also imported in the same year. The imports for 1895 from Jan- uary 1 to May 16 are, for cattle, 10,795, and for sheep, 124,501. The losses at sea of these cattle, while rather greater than those incurred on cattle and sheep from the United States, are not extraordinary. On the im- ports for 1894 the losses at sea amounted to forty-five head of cattle and 674 sheep, while on the large shipments of 1895 as given above the losses were, cattle, 608; sheep, 3,446, The cattle imported from reported as coarse, rough, unfinished and very wild, their weight being from 1,100 to 1,200 pounds, and they cost in Argentine from $25 to $35 per head. To this amount must be added ocean freights, $22.50 to $2 feed and attendance, $15, while the price realized in Great Britain is from $70 to $50 a head. The voyage lasts about thirty days and owing to the larg: quantity of feed re- quired (about 12,500 to 00 cubic feet space per 220 cattle) only a comparatively small number can becarried on each ship. Butchers report the meat as flabby and hard to “set” after slaughter, and unsatisfactory as to color, not being as bright as United States cattie. Some butchers, indeed, re- fuse to handle it for these reasons. These conditions are attributed to the fact that the cattle are mostly fed on alfalfa. As regards the receiving and slaughtering in Great Britain, the same rules are enforced against the cattle from Argentine as against those from the United States. All must be slaughtered within ten days of being landed. The bureau representatives report upon some shipments from New Zealand and Aus- tralla, principally the former, five cargoes having been recelved thence, against two from Australia. The cattle were well bred, malnly Herefords and Shorthorns, and in good flesh, " welghing from 1,500 to 1,800, some of them being too fat for the London market They brought prices equal to those paid for American cattle. There seems, however, to be no reason to apprehend a great in- crease in this trade, The great length of voyage, sixty to seventy-five days, the dif- ferent degrees of latitude, requiring the reatest care to prevent sickness, high reight charges, $40 to a head, and the great space for fodder, seem to afford in- superable obstacles to any considerable or permanent increase in cattle shipments from Australla., There is, mor:zover, no port on the way where fodder can be procur:d, all ports avail- able for such purposes being under condem- nation by the British authorities as in- fected with foot and mouth or other con- taglous diseases. In the case of two ship- ments, where the vessels had stopped for coal at such port, the authorities compelled tho cattle to be slaughtered on board the ship. The samo restrictions as exist in the case of American cattle are enforced against those from Australia. The amount of cattle exported by the United States fell oft from 192,955 during the last half of 1894 to 87,912 during the first four months of this year, but this is ac- counted for by the high prica of cattle here, rather than the inroads of Argentine. The exportation of sheep, which began in Jan- uary, 1894, Increased from 86 for " the first six months of that year to 165,311 for the first four months of this year. of De- Argentine are PRODUCTION OF PRECIOUS METALS Gola and Stiver Mined In 1891 Exceeded Any Year in the World's History. WASHINGTON, June 14.—The director of the mint, R, E. Preston, estimates the world's production of gold for the calendar year 1894 to have approximated 8,870,578 fine ounces, of the value of $181,510,100, against $158 $36,000 for 1893, showing an Increase during the year of $22,674,100. The greatest In- crease In the production of gold during the year was: Africa, $11,400,000; Australia, $6,073,000; United States, $3,500,000; Mexico, Preston estimates the world’s pro- duction of silver for 1894 at 165,918,338 fine ounces, of the coinage value of $214,381,000 the builion value of the same, at the average price (viz. 63% cents) of silver for 1894, was $105,348,135, showing a difference between the coinage and bullion value of $109,132,865. The increase in the production of silver in 1894 over 1893 was 722,000 ounces, The great- est increase in the production of silver was: Bolivia, $10,800,000; Mexico, $3,500,000; Peru, $2,700,000; Chili, §$1,400,000; Greece, $1,400, 000. The production of both gold and silver in 1894 exceeded that of any prior year in the world’s history. Mr Preston is of the opinion that his estimate of gold and silver production for 1894 {s a conservative one and he is of the opinion that were the exact figures known they would show an increase even greater than stated. e Aluminum is not made from alum and neither is Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow- der, whose purity is well known.

The damage done amounted to $50, while the pipe was probably worth 50_or 75 cents to the thieves. Yesterday afternoon Officers Mitchell and McCarthy met two men on Ninth street carrying something in a bag. The men at once started to run away and were brought 10 & standstill only after a number of shots had been sent after them. Kven then they gave the officers a tussle before they were placed under arrest. The bag was examined and was found to contain a considerable amount of lead pipe, with a brass faucet and brass connections. They are supposed to be the same that were taken out of Peterson’s house, and the two prisoners are thought to be the thieves. The two are a tough pair and gave their names as John and James Delaney.

WASHINGTON, Juhe'14.—Captain Hooper, in command of the outtdr fleet in the Bering sea, has reported to the Treasury depart- ment that his obsepyations south of Un- alaska convince him, tbat the seal herds move Ing north are far less numerous than for- merly. This scarcity, It is believed, s en- tirely due to the indiseriminate slaughter of the last two or thrpe years, While patrol- ing the waters of the north Pacific Captain Hooper has boarded and searched a num- | ber ot sealers, bot¥ Cdnadian and American, but s from | | ot re was no évilence of unlawtul kill- and hence they were allowed to pro- ceed.

WASHINGTON, June 14.—The promulga- tion of a Treasury department circular carry- ing into effect the joint resolution of con- gress excepting from the operation of the alien contract labor law all forelgners brought over to this country by foreign ex- hibitors or owners of concessions at the Cotton States exposition at Atlanta has called attention to the results of a similar resolution adopted for the World's fair. Both resolutions authorized such foreigners to re- main in this country one year after the close of the exposition, but aft the expiration of that time, should they still remain in this country, they were made subject of all the processes and penalties applicable to aliens coming In violation of the allen contract labor law. In neither case, however, did congress make any appropriation or provision for the arrest and deportation of such per- sons, and in the case of the Chicago falr none were ever apprehended or deported. The exact number who remained in this country In violation of the law is not known, but it Is belleved that not more than three- fourths of the whole number ever returned to the countries whence they came. Owing to the want of funds the government took no steps to ascertaln how many remained, nor is likely to do so after the close the Atlanta exposition. The necessary rosult will be that many foreigners will take this opportunity to come to the United States with the intention of remaining, knowing that congress hac made no provision for the'r deportation. PATROL 2D TO AP FLORIDAN States Man-of-War Prevent Fi ibustering. WASHINGTON, June 14.—The Raleigh salled feom New York last evening for Key West. This point will be her headquarters, and she will patrol the Florida coast with her launches and boats to prevent Cuban filibustering expeditions. It Is expected that the Raleigh will remain on that station for a month, and it at the end of that time it is still thought necessary to have a war ship to assist in preventing filibustering expedi- tlons, It 1s expected that another vessel will be sent to relieve her, as owing to the ex- treme hot weather, it would be severe service to keep one ship in Florida water constantly As “Before the faloon shrinks the bird of meaner wing” so do all inferior baking pow- ders since Dr. Price’s won supremacy at the World's and Midwinter fairs, Day Legress Conferred on a Large Class that Has Completod the Course.

White, the present chief of the secret service of the Milwaukee, and who in all probability will be chiet of the Omaha police force before many days, arrived in the city at noon yesterday and spent most of the afternoon in the mayor's office, where he was closeted with Mayor Bemis and the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. Just what transpired during this session is not in evidence, but at its close it was an- nounced that a satisfactory understanding had been reached and that the chances wera that Mr. White wonld be elected chief of police Monday night, if not sooner. The recent trip of Commissioner Deaver to Chicago is responsible fc the presence of Mr. White in this city. When Mr. Deaver returned the other day he brought with him tho names of three Chicago officers who were to be considered for the position. These included Chief White, Joe Kipley, who was for years the chief of the Chicago detective force, and Major McClaughry, who was chief of police of Chicago under Mayor Wash- burne. BETWEEN WHITE AND KIPLEY. Within the past day or two it has been ascertained that Major McClaughry has ac cepted a position at the head of an eastern penal institution, and the choice practically lies between White and Kipley. Mr. Kipley is one of the best known police officers in the country. He was connected with the Chicago police force in various capacities and was chief of detectives through nearly all the Cregier administratton. The Omaha board {s still conducting negotiations with him, and there is a chance that he may be selected. A Louls man, who is warmly endorsed by Chief Harrigan, is also a candi- date for the position, and will bo here in a day or two to file his application. A dozen more have applied for the position, but the four men mentioned are all that have re celved serious consideration. These have now been sifted down to White and Kipley, with the chances very much in favor of the former. Mr. White has been chlef of the secret service of the Milwaukee for fourteen years During that time he h: been in charge of a force of from 100 to 200 men, with over 6,000 miles of track to cover. a national reputation as a crook catcher and is regconized as one of the best police off cers in the west. In appearance he is calcu. lated to find favor in the most critical eye He is of medium height, compactly built and Is unencumbered by superfluous flesh A light brown moustache droops over a de termined mouth, and his whole appearance suggests a cool dieaded and athletic person of somewhat less than 40 years. MAY BE SETTLED MONDAY NIGHT. Mayor Bemis sald last night that th board had not as yet chosen a chief of police He admitted that it was very favorably im pressed with Mr. White, but thought that no election would be had before Monday n'ght, and one or two other candidates were still under consideration Mr. Deaver scemed favorably Impressed with White, who, he said, was highly recom. mended. Incidentaily Mr. Deaver wished to deny most emphatically the fake that had been circulated in some quarters to the effect that a Pinkerton man was being groomed for chief of police. There has been no time when any P.mnkerton man had even been under consideration. Such a man would nat- urally have an eye to the Interests of the Pinkerton agency, as well as those of the city, and he did not consider it good policy to_elect any employe of Pinkerton. Mr. White, in conversation with porter, said he had been at department for fourteen ment comprising the 6,000 miles of road. H.s headquarters are in Chicago. He returns there in ail lfkeli- hood today. “While I am not hunting for a position,” " sald Mr. White last evening, ‘“of course, like all men, I am quite willing to better my condlition if it appears such would bo accomplished by a change.” —— maxim good breakfast, a good husband.” American husbands are the best.

It is almost beyond doubt that the com- mittee appointed by the city council to wait on Judge Dundy to secure an order for the enlargement of water mains will be Joined in its request by Receivers Hunt and Bier- bower of tho water works company. The committee had a meeting yesterday, at walch the receivers were by invitation present, and the latter said that the proposition was in the main favored by them. The plans for improvement, as drawn vo by the city en- glneer, were discussed, and the recelvers urged ‘that the plans be so modified by the omission of certain streets as to bring the estimate down to what will be due from the city to the company July 1 for hydrant rental. This would be $86,000. This sugges- tion was accepted, and at a meeting this afternoon the modified specifications will be submitted, and, if agreed to on all sides, the committee will then have an audience with the judge at his earliest conveulence In ‘speaking of the effort now being made by the city council to prevadl upon Judge Dundy to issue an order that certain sums for hydrant rental shall be expended by the recelvers for the American Water Works company in enlarging mains in the business portion of the city, John L.

The British lion has commenced to create a stiv on account of having had several citizens held up by a band of desperadoes in the suburbs of Omaha, and there is no telling where the international complications which may ensue will end.
