There Is a flurry of excitement just now among the members of the Nebraska Fish commission. Owing to a misunderstanding as to who shall sign vouchers, and as to who is the valid chairman of the board, the state auditor refuses to draw warrants on the legislative appropriation of last winter. Com missioner May is the hold over. His term expired June 1, but the law provides that the commissioners shall hold office until their successors are elected and have qualified So far Governor Holcomb has neglected to name a new commissioner in Mr. May's place. That officlal contends that as he has been confirmed by the senate, and 18 the unly one who has been so confirmed, he is the legal de jure chairman of the board. Senator Thurston and a number of other prominent republicans in the state have written ernor Holcomb warmly endorsing Commis sioner May for reappolntment. The governor has replied, stating that while he was friendly to Mr. May and his claims, he felt it to be his duty to name a commissioner from among the members of his own party Thus the matter stands today. Auditor Moore will soon have an interview with Gov- ernor Holcomb, when the matter may be adjusted and the proper party named to sign vouchers, The sum of $3.000 was appropriated by the last legislaturo for repairs and incidentals on the Lincoln Asylum for the Insane. Aside from this there Is about $2,500 of a fund which will lapse August 1, if not applied be. fore that date. This sum will be utilized by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings in repalring the boilers and engines of the elec- tric light plant. There is also being used a portion of the $3.000 in fitting up quarters for Dr. Green, assistant superintendent of the asylum. The death of Mrs. Mary Roth, who expired at 4 o'clock this mormng at the asylum, is attended by a horrible story. She was vio- lently insane, and a few aays since built a fire of brush and driftwood and leaped into the flames. This was in Chase county. She was terribly burned, and preparations were at once made to transport her to Lincoln The scene of the tragedy was seventeen miles from the railread. This distance she was conveyed in an open wagon. She was then brought 275 miles and conveyed to the asylum on a_stretcher from the depot, ar- riving there Saturday morning, two full days from the time of the attempted suicide. Dr. Green says he has practiced on Blackwell's Tsland and in some of the largest hospitals in New York, but he never saw such a hor- ible sight. e Board of Public Lands and Bulldings has reappointed J. H. McKelvey superin- tendent of the Girls' Tndusirial school at Geneva. Superintendent McKelvey has held this position since 1893, the time the institu- tion was opened to the public. LEAVES IT TO THE COUNTIES. The attorney general will not likely give an opinlon in the matter to which his at- tentlon was directed concerning the right of eounties to donate money to ald in mak ing a Nebraska exhibit at the Atlanta Cotton States and Industrial exposition in Septem- ber. He is understood to hold that the county attorneys are the proper persons to | advise In all legal matters involving the counties. As a matter of fact it is quite doubtful if counties can contribute to a state exhibit, but it s stated by members of the Nebraska delegation that the funds asked for will be confined to providing for exbibits from the counties contributing. The governor's office now contains three large globes of gold fish placed there by J B. Romine. There are four very large fish from the ponds of Mr. Romine In Seward | county and are a present to the state from that gentleman. He is one of the oldest fish cultivators in Nebraska The State Board of Equalization held an fnformal meeting at the office of the state auditor today, but transacted no busines There are two countles yet to hear from in relation to their assessments and until they report little can be done in the way of equalization. Toduy Governor Holcomb, Mrs, Holcomb and son visited the Lineoln insane asylum by Invitation of -Superintendent Abbott They were accompanied by Dr. lor of Chicago. The portrait of H. E. Palmer, department commander of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic in 1584, has been received at the office of General Gage. It is tho intentlon to have the portraits of all the ex-commanders in the state at this office eventually The Board of Public Lands and Buildin has notified Janitor Grinoell that owing to George Tay & lack of funds his services will have fo be ispensed with. Mr. Grinnell Is still at work, however, the order, which Is of recont fate, not having gone into effect. TAKEN TO THE SUPREME COURT. In the supreme court today the case of Kent K. Hayden, recelyor of the Capital Na- tional Bank of Lincoln, plaintiff in error, against the Commercial Security Loan and Trust company, Mary A. Small, Edith Small, Alice Small, Myra Small, Marion W. Smali and Ernes! Small, children of James W Small, deceasod, defondan’s, was filed on p titlon In error. The defendants recovered Judgm ugalnst the bank in the district court of Nuckolls county, Nebraska. The case of Frank Davly reasurer of Dakota county, against the Chicago, 8t.

VHOMAN'S CO-OPERATIVE RAILROAD lego, Paclfic & t North Platte. b., July 15.—(Special.) orge W. Vroman, president of the San Ures'dent of Diego, ific & Eastern Railroad company, Is in the city spending a few days visiting his family. Mr. Vroman is enroute to castern points where he will endeavor to interest railwly men in the construction of the road. A meeting of railway, K men was called at the court house this evening, which was addressed by Mr. Vroman. He explained fully the plan of building, and a large num ber of rallway men appear to be deeply interested In the scheme. A Bee correspondent interviewed Mr. Vro. | man on the subject and that gentleman said “Ten thousand shares of the capital stock have already been voluntarily subscribed Our fdea is to Issue at first 100,000 shares of stock of $10 each. This will build the road from San Diego northeast to the bound- ary line of California. Then the capital stock will be increased along as the road is con- structed. Fron San Diego to the nearest point_on the Union Pacific, Milford, Utah, is 575 miles. Tt will cost at a_liberal esti- mate, $16,000 per mile, or $8,625,000 to build’and equip the road.” The plan Is to get rallway men to subscribe this amount of stock as the road is being built. Payments on the stock will be made monthly in 5 per cent instalments. No bonds, mortgages or deeds of trust can ever be executed on the property. One hundred thousand shares of stock will ba sold betore collection thereon will be begun. The road will be expected to pay a reasonable divident on nothing ex- cept the amount actually invested in build- ing and equiping it one person s allowed to own over 500 shares, uniess such shares should come into his possession through inheritance or legacy. “Our route agreed upon is from Salt Lake City to San Diego, and is almost an air line, It ‘touches the southern boundary of the California frult belt, traverses the coal flelds of southern Utah, and some of the greatest horax deposits in world. Immense forests of pine will a be passed in Utah. The road will be co Aucted on the co-operatice, profit-sharing plan, and it will prove one of the greatest steps ever taken toward settling the differ- ences continually arising between capital and labor. It will prove that labor is really independent of capital. The city of San Diego is aiding our company in every way possible. It has pledged depot grounds and reaches the water frontage free, beside deeding the com- ay of- pany the righ through LINCOL! the city.” \RRESTING PAYSE ANS Medical Society ¢ harzes a Number of Per. sons wi LINCOLN, July 15.—(Special Tefegram.)— The Lincoln Medical society has been taking active steps looking toward clearing the city of alleged quack doctors. Today war- rants were issued on complaint of Dr. Hag- gard for Dr. Thomas O'Connor and Dr. Dante, allas Prosser. The latter styles him- self a “wonder worker.” Recently another sepsational doctor calling himself A. Dun- ker suddenly left town after, as it is stated, having been visited by representatives of the medical society. The residence of Fay Husted was last night visited by butglars, who secured considerable plunder and came with 1t toward Lincoln. The Husted place is a mile and a half from the city limits.

LINCOLN, July 15.—(Special)—The Mrs Jennie F. Reid now awaiting trial at Linneus Mo., for murder at one time obtained wide celebrity in Lincoln. She is accused of tak- Ing the life of her husband to obtain $2,000 life insurance. Her true name, however, s Mrs. P. Lamareux. Originally she was from Hamburg, la, but ran away from home to become Mrs. Lamareux. In Lincoln she for- merly kept a boarding house known as the Home hotel at 1040 Q street. She had two sisters living in this city, both of whom were highly respected. She began suit two years ago against W. H. Nelson, an engineer on the Elkhorn road, claiming damages in the sum of $10,000 for breach of promise of marriage. At one time Nelson had boarded with her and pald her considerable attention While the suit was pending Mrs. Ella Birney, now of St. Louis, made afidavit that Mrs Reid had at one time donned men’s clothing and gone out at night to find out where Nel- son was boarding and to viom he had trans- ferred his affections. Mrs. Reid at once swore out a warrant, charging Mrs. Birney with perjury. The letter rather effectually proved the truth of her charges and was released Subsequently Mrs. Birney sued Mrs. Reid for damages in the federal court, but ever came of the case. Testimony in amination convinced a great many Mrs. Reid was a peculiar woman. She went to Omaha after the Birney epi sode and opened a boarding house. Because she did not furnish security for costs her case against Nelson was dismissed As Mrs. Lamareux she became the mother of two children. Subsequently she levanted with a man named Stickler to a small town in Pennsylvania. Tiring of him, she drifted west again, and came to Lincoln. Reld is her maiden name. While in Omaha she ob- tained a divorce from Lamareux. The latter is now living somewhere in Oklahoma. Lam- areux took the little son, while the girl r mained with her mother. She was also given her maiden name. RECORD 1 the that ST. JOSEPH. Mrs. Reid appeared in St. Joseph, accom- panied by her daughter. She stopped- with the family of Mrs. G. F. Voss, who is a cousin of Lamareux. As a relative of the family her protracted visit was made wel- come. While there she got Mr. Voss to endorse a couple of drafts for $30 each. They were promptly honored by an Omaha bank. Later she presented a draft for $200, which Voss indorsed. This proved to be worthless and she tried to blame the bank, accusing it of holding back her money and her bank book. This freud was unearthed and she was forced to return most of the $200 before she left town. While at the Voss residence she received almost as much mail as a whole. sale house. In response (o the advertisement of one C. G. Cummins, Linneus, Mo., she met the gen- tleman and they were married. It is claimed that a part of the ante-nuptial agreement was that Cummins should take out an insur- ance policy. It was in the Covenant Mutual of Galesburg, 11l. Cummins was taken sick im- mediately after receiving the policy, sup: posedly from ‘rough on * administered in his coffee. The dose was too large and he threw it oft his stomach. The husband be- came suspicious and began to watch his wife. One day Mrs. Cummins_secured some chloro- form from a Linneus dentist, and on the morning of the third day afterwards Cum- mins did not nut in an appearanc Mrs, Cummins said she couli not wake him. She threw water in his face and came running back in, evidently in great fright, and announced that he was dead. Mrs. Cummins was arrested and charged with the murder. Last Friday noon she hal a preliminary examina tion at Linneus. She has been held to answer to the charge of murder. She has lived in St. Joseph, Omaha, Lincoln, Osceola, Sioux City, Independence, Galesburg, Chiczgo and other citles. Mrs. Cummins is rememberea in Lincoln as a fine looking woman of about years of age. She has large gray eyes and brown hair, is about five and a half feet high and weighs about 140 pounds. She dresses well 2ud is inclined to be flashy in her dress OMAHA PEOPLE IN LINCOLN. At the Lindell—A. F. Diver, W. 8. Curtis, I C. Bachelor, William W. Keysor, Seth C. Diake, M. Meyer. Lincoln—E. E.

TROUBLES OF AUROBAT PHILION s Domostic Affairs Sadly Mixed us a Keo- It of a Divorced Wife's ¥fforts, LINCOLN, July 15.—(Spec’al.)—Prof. Achile Philion the specialty acrobat, who is in Lin- coln filling an engagement at a local pleasure resort, is in trouble. His wife is in Chicago and he fee's it to be his duty to immediately g0 to her, but his contract will not expire for several days. But this is not the worst of it. The press dispatches within a few days have circulated a story to the effect that a woman signing herself Mrs. Emma Philion has written to the chief of police of Akron, 0., claiming him to be her husband and ask ing assistance of the force in Akron in locat- ing him. This has probably been seen by the young wife in Chicago, but no disastrous results are anticipated from that quarter, as the present Mrs. Philion was told the whole story before her marriage. Two years ago Philion secured a divorce from Emma at Cheyenne Wells Colo., the decree being granted by Judge Slattery. Subsequently to this he had paid his wife considerable money In alimony, and finally, through his lawyers in Brooklyn, N. Y., secured a receipt in full on the payment of $300 and an acknowle ige- ment that the divorce was in every way a valid transaction and recognized as such by the first Mrs. Philion. At Akron, O., while filling an engagement, Philion met his present wife. They fell in love and were married with full consent of the bride's Telatives. But Philion never told the relatives of the bride anything about his former marriage and divorce, acting on the advice of his flance, to whom, however, he had communicated all the particulars before marrying her. Now the news reaches the Ohio relatives for the first time, and It is this fact that just at present makes life a burden to the acrobat. He says that he was per- fectly wiiling to tell the whole story before marriage, but that he refrained on his bride elect’s request. He belleves that his former wife has learned of his recént marriage and by advice of some eastern lawyers is attempt- ing to blackmail him., He thinks that her attack on his wife's relatives in Ohio Indi- cates that plan of action Tecumseh rovities.
