Conrad ER WANTS A RECEIVER, Te An (he Ma Trouble has been brewing for several weeks | among the stockholders in the Lake Manawa Rallway company, and it culminated in the commencement of a suit in the district court yesterday, In which J. C. Shaffer appears as | plaintift and F. C. Reed and Emmet Tinley as defendants. Shaffer wants a receiver ap- pointed, and makes any number of allegations in_support of his demand. Shaffer bought the stock of 8. P. MacConnell when the latter left the company about a year ago. According to the petition the com- | pany’s stock is now held as follows: F. C. Reed, 817 shares of $100 each; Emmet Tinley 101 shares; J Shaffer, 80 shares. Total $100 each. Shaffer alieges that Colonel Reed has taken possession of all tae property the exclusion of the other stockholders has been operating it to his own personal ag- grandizement, with the connivance of the defendant Tinley. He has never made a report of the business done, and a board of directors has never been appointed. incurred large indebtedness for the company | having issued bonds in the sum of $40,000 cured by a trust deed on all the company's property The petition further . | Reed’s management the company has done business totally without authority, providing games and entertainments, operating boats, running a bar and restaurant and cutting icz, The proceeds from these side issues are con verted to his own use, and the company has never paid a dividend. Unless this is stopped the plaintiff claims that the company will be rendered bankrupt. The ho'ding of the annual meeting was the ® | occasion for the trouble that had been smoul | | dering for so long to break out Into a flame. No annual mecting was held, as it should have been, in January, 1895, and at the re- quest of Shaffer the secretary called a meef- ing for July 18. Emmet Tinley and W. F. Sapp responded to the announcement, and . P. MacConnell represented Shaffer as attor- ney in fact. Reed absented himself from th meeting until more than an hour after the time specified in the announcement, and then by virtue of his having a contro'ling interest in the stock, had MacConnell excluded from the meeting. Five directors were then elect- ed, and the meeting then adjourned until the 1 | following Monday, when Reed’s report was to be heard. 1| Last Monday the meeting reconvened, but immediately after the minutes were read 1| Reed adjourned until August 5. The giving of theatrical entertainments and games, the operation of a line of boats, a bar, a restaurant and all the other side at- tractions at Manawa, Shaffer says, are all without authority of the articles of incor- poration under which the company was or- ganized, and will bankrupt it, because, as the petition’ alieges, Reed pockets all the earn- ings. Reed’s actions, the petition further says, have been done with the avowed in- tention on the part of Reed and Tinley to run the vaiue of Shaffer'’s stock down below par so as to compel him to sell at a dis- count. A receiver is demanded, and an in- junction to restrain Reed from operating the road. The case is set for hearing by Judg Smith for August 13. When asked what h2 had to say about the suit last evening, Colonel keed stated that the aliegations of the petition were all false, with the exception of that with referncs to the distribution of the stock he rafl- road,” said he further, “ison a better paying basis now than it ever was.

Barton, the two Omaha eapitalists who, until within the last few weeks, have been his financial back- ers. Before August 26, 1880, the petition sets forth, the plaintiffs advanced large sums of money with which to buy real estate, with the understanding that Paul was to furnish one-third of the total amount of money ex- | pended and to act as trustee, all deeds being made out in his name, and to give quit claim deeds at any time to the other two members of the partnership. A couple of weeks ago the plalntiffs pre- sented Paul with quit claim deeds to all of the property involved and asked him to sign them, granting them their two-thirds inter- est in the property. Paul refused to sign them. In violation of his contract they al- lege that he failed to have three mortgages cancelled on certain of the lots, these mort- gages amounting in the aggregate to §2,075. They demand that Paul be ordered by the court to execute quit claim deeds and to have the mortgages cancelled. A. D. Annis is made co-defendant, because not long ago a portion of the property in question. Appended to the petition is a copy of the contract between the plaintiffs and defend- ant which shows that 540 town lots were involved, located in Barton's addition, Paul's | Place and Charlton's addition, Special Notice., Monday, July 29th, begins our great mid- summer clearing sale.

A baby was born, but the de- fendant has never provided for the support of either wife or child. Maggie Hawkey filed a petition asking for a divorce from John Hawkey, who deserted her in 1884, twelve years after thelr mar- riage. Mrs. Hawkey lives on a farm in Hazel Dell township which contains 160 acres. Tiis was bought with her own money before their separation and the subsequent payments have been made with her earnings.

The Hardman, the plano par excellence. FOUR OF A Remarkable Group of riaus in Maryla . Until about six months ago there lived in the vicinity of Salisbury, Md., four people whose combined ages aggregated 419 years Of these, one, Mrs. Margaret Donovan, has recently died, after living five score and six years: The others, who still live, are: Hiram Twigg, aged 101; Frederick Polk -(colored), 105, and Mrs. Sarah Wright, 107. Twigg lives about four miles from Salisbury with a colored man, whe is Twigg's “Friday.” He was born on February 4, 1795, near Mobile, Ala, Charles, the colored man, has been th him for' more than thirty’ years, and two dogs are his other companions. Twigg knows but little of his relatives, as he left home when a small boy and came north, and learned his trade of making split-wood baskets and knitting seines. After spending about four years on the sea, doing coast trade work, he purchased, in 1844, the plece of ground on which he now Twigg's hearing is keen and his eyesight especially good. The old man takes pride in exhibiting his fancy baskets. He has been a user of tobacco for years and is opposed to the use of liquor. He says he would like to live 100 years more. Frederick_Polk, colored, lives about one mile from Bridgevills, Del., and says he is 105 year old. He was a slave of the Polks, from whom he got his name. History reports the Polks as settling there about 1740. The old man had very good health until about a year ago. A few years ago he was one of the main witnesses in a land transaction that had occurred nearly 100 years ago, he being about the only living person knowing any- thing of the affair. Polk is the father of a very large family, there being ten children, a score or more of grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Mrs. Sarah Wright is the oldest person of the quartet and lives with her 82-year-old son near Quantico, Md. Born 107 years ago, near Pocomoke City, Md., she has always lived in her native state and only on one occasion has she ever ridden on a railroad train. Six years ago her sight began to fall and now she is totally blind” Mrs. Wright often speaks of happenings at toe beglnning of the present century and delights to talk of Wash- ingtcn. She was 11 years of age when he died, well remembers his death and says she followed the example of her older friends and relatives and wore around her arm for thirty days a plece of black ribbon, in respect to the memory of the dead president. poetlabald IN Centenn- PROHIBITION NUTSHELL. Governor Morrill's Opinion of Kansas Experiment, Apropos of liquor legislation, it is interest- ing to note, writes a minister in the Globe- Democrat, that Governor Morrill of Kansas has publicly stated in a recent speech that the prohibitory law of the state cannot be enforced in localities where the public sen- timent of the people is against it. That puts the matter in a nutshell. It is true of Maine and New Hampshire and Iowa, and of every state that has attempted pro- hibition. And it is the best possible argu- ment for a rational local option law. When you talk to an honest and weil informed prohibitionist he will admit that the system works badly in large towns and cities, but he insists that in rural districts it is a suc- cess. Admit the statement. It is the most powerful argument against constitutional prohibition. Because It 15 in_the cities that the problem is most complex and needs careful and thoughtful solution. A general prohibitory law leaves the drink question in cities without any solution at all. 1t is unlawful for municipalities to attempt any regulation or prevision of the drink habit. They are confronted with a rigid law, which they know is daily and flagrantly violated, and yet they are helpiess. If they honestly attempt enforcement, they turn the drug stores into saloons, and create private drinking clubs where men and boys are ruined by secret drinking. This is true of Portland, Bangor, Des Moines, Topeka, every place where prohibitory laws offer but one method of dealing with drunkenness. It is discouraging to find that good people can- not see that a theory which has been tested for nearly half a century always fails at the very point where it is called to bear the greatest stress [ — Average Wheat Consumption, CINCINNATI, July 25.—An elaborate state- ment appears in the Price Current in regard to food consumption of wheat in this country The statement is prepared by R.

This latter claim is ziven some credence by the counsel for the state, as all the witnesses state that Baltzer acted as a stakeholler more than anything else, the pools sold being paris mutuals, on which he got 10 per cent commission for making the talk, holding the money put up, and dividing it after the race.

SIOUX CITY, July 25.—(Specfal Telegram.) —District Judge Gaynor, today decided that a state law of 1862 making personal injury judgments prior to mortgages upon railroad property does not apply to street railroads. The question came up in the case of Louis Ladson against the Riverside Park Street Railway company. Larson had a personal injury judgment for $8,000 and wanted it made prior to the claims of the bondholders under this law. The point has always been a matter of dispute in the state and will probably be taken to the supreme court as a test. i 'iree Drowned nt Burll BURLINGTON, Ia., July Special Tel- egram.)—Joseph Nolte, Arthur Walter and Miss Tillie Hein were drowned while fisiiing at Otter dam, a pleasure: resort north of city.

The value of the real estate of the company s estimated at $156,500. It is en cumbered to the amount of $459,000. The personal property is valued at $13,683. The debts due outside of the reality encum- brances amount to $3 CHICAGO, July says he has not been connected with the stock yards company at Rodeo, Cal., for eighteen months, and no longer owns stock. Garretson was the cashier of a Sioux City bank, and was always scheming. He pre tended to have money, and I went in to deal with him, hut his money did not materialize and he tried to do business on wind, with the inevitable result. There are practically no assets and it is a local affair, unless bonds have been sold in the east since I left the concern. 1 treat the following Diseases: Catarrh of tho Head, Throat and Lungs; Dis eases of the Eje and Bar, Fits and Apoploxy, Hoart Diseasc, Liver Complaint, Kiduey: Co pluint, Nervous lleblhl).!!l ntal De pression 088 of Manhood, S al W 1ens, Dinbetes, Lright's Dis St Vitus' Dance, Rheumntism, Paralysis, eliing, Scrofiln, Fever Sorcs, Tum: ors and Flstul without the knife or drop of blood.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.—A number of young women struggled with curlosity seek- ers to obtain admission to the trial of Theo- dore Durrant for the murder of Blanche Lamont today. The proceedings opened with the district attorney's attempt to controvgrt the defendant’s application for a change of venue. After a number of afidavits had been presented stating that the defendant would have a fair trial in San Francisco Judge Murphy decided against ' the defend ant’s application for a change of venue, giv- ing Durrant the right to renew the motion later on. The court announced that th> so- called play, based upon the Emanuel church murders, could not be produced during the trial or' while action was pending_in the superiof court. The fmpaneling of jurors then commenced. Fifty of the jurors offered excuses which were accepted by the court. From the other hundred jurors who had been summoned an attempt was then made to secure twelve taler.-i. Durrant, who was accompanied in coa Yy his father and mother, maintains his calm and unconcerned demeanor. St ADDUCTED A VERY ov A. W. REIKMAN, Cashier.
