Mary Rasmussen, a young woman living at Underwood, was brought In on the evening train yesterday by Deputy Sherifft O'Brien and will have an examination this morning by the commissioners of insanity. The in- formation was filed by Hans Rief of Under- wood. She has a mild case of insanity, and shows an inclination to wander away from home, which s very embarrassing to her friends. Last March she came to Council Bluffs to visit her sister, Mrs. Francis Gra- ham, at the corner of Broadway and Twen- tisth street. She failed to show up at her sister's house, and for about a week nothing was heard from her. It was then found that she had gone to Rev. J. E. Simpson’s house and asked for a place to work, which was given her. During her stay she commenced to manifest symptoms of insanity, and Mrs. Stmpson discharged her. She refused to go and locked herself up in the bath room, from which she was only ejected after sev- eral hours of hard work by Mr. Simpson, who finally had to break open a small win- dow and climb into the bath room.

A day or two ago the friends of Deputy Bherlff Nick O'Brien were going up and down the stroets demouncing Fremont Benjamin for what they claimed was his duplicity in announcing that John P, Stuhr was nom'nated candidate for sheriff at the county conven- tion, when .n fact he lacked one vote of belng Wominated. Yesterday explanations were in order, when |} was found that Ben- Jamin was right, for Kane, outside the city, and the Second precinct of the Sixth ward in Council Blufts, were not represented in the convention. This reduced the total num- ber of delegates from 221 to 219, thus mak- ing 110 the number required for a nomina- tion. O'Brien says he is satisfied now that everything was all right, although he was never disposed to think Stuhr responsible for ‘Wwhat he supposed w. put up job on him. 7 The Hardman plano wins many friends. i Marringe Licenses ‘The following marriage licenses were fs- sued yesterday by the county clerk: ame and Address.

A number of cases in which considerable interest has been felt, particularly in rall- road circles, have been decided by Judge Macy. The suits have been pending since December, 1893, when Harvey Holloway, A. Brown, J. R. Blalr, and G. W. McCoy com- menced proceedings In the district court to colleet amounts pald to the Chlcago & North- western and Sioux Clty & Pacific Railway companies in excess of what they claimed was authorized by law, The plaintifts all live at Whiting, la, and do a hay-shipping busi- ness. They allege that in shipping hay from Whiting, on the Sioux City & Pacific, to pointe on the Ch & Northwestern cast of Missourl Valley, they had paid the sum of the local rates on both roads, while there {8 a law that provides that only 80 per cent of the total amount can be charged. They demanded judgment for the excessive charges with interest. On taking the depositions of the railroad cials but little knowledgo was learned and after several unsuccessful attempts had been made to induce the officlals to say some- thing besides that they had no knowledge of the matters in litigation, the plaintiffs se- cured an ordar of court requiring the offic to make more specific statements. They had until this term to do so, with the under: standing that if they did not comply with tho order they should be considered In de- fault. They have not made the more specific statements, and judgment in the following amounts have been issued against them v, $5,670; McCoy, $2,356; Brown, 9; Blair, §1,12¢ Of all these amounts 90 1s for attorney fees. The cases will probably be appealed to the supreme court. T FIN GERS, Had Stolen a Dinmond Just Deing Knocked Off a Train, B. Bartsow Mahone, an account of whose killing on the Unlon Pacific excursion train in Omaha was publishel Thurslay morning was well known to the Union Driving park habitues and bore anything but a gool repu tation. He comes of an excel'ent family in St. Louis, so it is said, and was the one black sheep of the family. On the second day of the present season of racing he came on the track with two women, aid was or dered off on account of unseemly conduct. Wednesday night he went to Omaha on the Union Pacific excursion train, and had just stolen a diamond from the shirt front of a fellow passenger when he met with the accident which cost him his lite. After com- mitting the theft he hurrizd back and jumped from the train without notcing the trestle. ore Collecting Mayoral Mugs. Mayor Cleaver is still pushing his scheme of making a collection of the physiognomies of the varlous mayors who have served th city of Councl Blufts for the mayor's office in the city building, but is not meeting with the hearty co-operation of the ex-mayors and their friends that he would like. So far ths photographs of Smith, Hooten, William jroncweg, John H. Keatley, D. C. Bloomer, S. Bates, D. Macrae, Thomas Bowman, C Caleb Baldwin and John T, Baldwin have been recsived. Several of these are cabinet portraits, but (hat of Judge Caleb Baldwin is a large steel engraving. That of Mr. Bowman is one of the finest portraits of the lot. Those whose portraits are still lacking, ow- ing to the faliure of themselves or their relatives to see that the mayor's wishes complied with, are J. K. Cook, C. ne D. W. Price, George W. Doughty, L. W. Babbitt, J. M. Palmer, Frank Street, Thomas Tostevin, N. D. Lawrenc2, W. C. James, C. B. Jacquem'n, J. W. Chapman and W. R. ghan. But little doubt is felt as to the named, however. Mayor Cleiver re- letter from his yesterday stating last ceivel a that he would be only too glad to have his portrait dangle from the walls of the city building, along with thoso of the o'her great men who have helped to make Council Blufts famous. He enclosed several business cards, on which was conspicuously advertised the fact that he was mayor of Council Brufts for five years. Tno letter was written on a letterhead of the Park City Eieciric Rall- way company, at Bowling Green, Ky., where he is now engaged in teaching the people things they have as yet heard nothing of in regard to finan Preparing for th e Jubilee, W. J. Davenport of the Burlwigton is making preparations for the apple jubilee to ba held at Glenwood Friday, the 27th, with the expectation of having a hundred or more Council Biuffs people, it possible, go and enjoy the hospitality of the Mills county citi- zens for the day. If the turn out from hers amounts to 100 a special tra'n will be put on. Otherwise the excursionists will leav here at 10:07 a. m. and reach there about 11, returning at 8 p. m. This will give plenty of time for the drive through the fruit belt, which will occupy about an hour and forty minutes. More than filty farmers in the vielnity of Glenwood .have agreed to furn'sh their carriages, and every livery stable rig, hack, and omnibus have been engagel. The drive will cost the guests nothing. The fruit exhibit in Davenport's ‘window, at the corner of Broadway and Pearl stroe's, is something of an indication of what the fruit crop in that viclnity is this year, It will be distributed freely, and it any visitor fails to come away with half a bushel of apples concealed somewhere about his anatomy or his clothes it will be bicause he dces not take advantage of his opportunities. Attaching Race Horwew, Two suits were commenced in Justice Vien's court yesterday to collect money from the owners of race horses now do'ng business at Union D.iving pirk and the Nebraska state fair. John Spretis assigned a claim of $40 against George Seamon for wages to J. B. Fulton, and the latter sued out a writ of attachment yesterday, Constable B:ker lev- fed on a fine bay mare and now has her in his possession awaiting sett'ement. Dr. Seybert had a claim for $32 against H. Simons, the owner of Wild Briar, He as- signed the cla/m to F. H. Guanella, who had the animal selzed under a writ of attachment yesterday. A writ of attachment was also filed in Justice Cook's court on petition of F. S, O'Nelll, who worked for O. P. Kernel, and has an unpaid claim of $16.50. Constable Al- berti went to the Driving park with all the necessary papers to attach the horse Vio- letta. Kernel gave his word of honor that he would settle the claim today and that the horse should not be moved, and so it was left In his charge over night, Next eting at Atlantie, The annual convention of the Missouri Val- ley Medical society closed yesterday, afier deciding upon Atlantic as the placs for ho'd- ing the next meeting.

[ been growing gradually i i THE Presence of n Defendant at a Final Menring Not Thought Necessary. CRESTON, la., Sept. 20.—~(Speclal.)—An in- teresting legal point has been raised in the district court here, Judge Towner, presiding, which will llkely go to the Iowa supreme ccurt for final settlement, It comes up in the celebrated Metcalf case and s to deter- mine whother or not the personal presence of a defendant is necessary at a final prelim- inary hearing. This is a new question and one that has not been decided by the supreme court. As {t has been the custom hereto- fore that no man could be tried without his personal presence the decision will be awaited with {nterest. There are two actions brought by the state. The first is the state of Towa against James G. Bull. This action is commenced by the state asking for the forfelture of a bail bond of $1,000 that Bull gave for the appearance of George B. Metcalf. At the preliminary hearing of Metcalf, who Is ac- cused of robbing the American Express com- pany of a few hundred dollars while acting as foint agent for the express com- pany and the Burlington at Thayer, the de- fense asked for a continuance allowing their client to go to Kentucky to secure evidence esteblishing an alibl, Bull gave a §1,000 bond for the appearance of his client on June 27 While In Kentucky Metcalf was re-arre charged with a similar crime, and on the of trial, June 27, was not present in Towa courts. County Attorney Camp as for the forfeiture of the bail bond and Justice Geuldin, before whom the case was being tried, refused to so order. The state main- taired that as Metcalf did not appear the bend was forfeited by operation of law. The deferse claims their client’s personal presence was not necessary at the final preliminary ex- amiration—ralsing a new legal point. The second case in the Metcalf muddle is the state of Towa against 8. W. Gouldin, the justice of the peace before whom Metcalf was having his preliminary hearing. It is an ac- tlon of certiorari, to determine whether or not the lower court acted without jurisdiction. In this case the justice dismissed the defend- ant without his personal presence and re- fused to hear the state on a motion to for- feit the bond, snd also to hear the state on a motion to strike the motion to dischar; the defendant. The state now brings action ted, the v[u test the legality of the rulings and the de- er e raised the same question as in the other zase—that the personal presence of the de- fendant was not required Indicted for Consplrn to Defraud. CRESTON, Ta,, Sept. 20.—(Special)—About a year ago Aaron Bartholomew, a dairyman, failed, and left a large list of creditors. The faflure was a surptise because the Bartholo- mews were reputed to be wealthy, Before the failure it appears that Bartholomew bor- rowed extensively, the amount r aching to about $10,000. It was a very easy matter for him to get money because his sister, Sarah A., possessed considerable real estate in Union county and was supposed to have other pos- sessions. Bartholomew horrowed the money and gave his sister security, which wa considered good. Just a few days before the faflire Sarah gave a number of mortgages on her land to relatives and gave a deed to her mother for a valuable plece of property. As soon as the creditors learned of this ac- tion they commenced filing attachments againet the property, but as the mortgages and deed had been given and recorded they could not recover. Several suits were brought in the district court to have the deed and mortgages set aside, alleging that the trans- fer of the property was made with intent to_defraud, but they have not come to trial. It scems that the grand jury has been in- vestigating the case and they have returned an indictment against Aaron and Sarah Bar- thelomew and their mother charging them with conspiracy to ‘defraud creditors. The finding of the grand jury created quite a sensation when it became known. ORTY HOU TROYED BY FIRE Ipswich, S. D, the Scene asxtrous Blaze. SIOUX CITY, Sept. 20.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The business part of Ipswich, S. D., was wiped out by fire early this morning. The blaze originated in J. D. Jones' store and In less than half an hour forty buildings were in flames. The volunteer fire depart- ment was powerless to cope with the confla- gration and the fire was simply allowed to burn itselt out. The losses aggregate over $60,000, on which there is about $20,000 in- surazce. Town's Latest € us Returns. DES MOINES, Sept. 20.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Captain Landers of the state census bureau estimates the population of the state at 2,035,000. He finds that the greatest gain has been in the cities of the newer counties, the clties and towns of the older counties remaining practically at a standstill. The new countles are all being settied by farm- ers who are securing homesteads of their own. The greatest gains in the state have been In towns of from 3,000 to 8,000 popula- tion. The work on the agricultural statistics will occupy considerable time, as there are 10,000 agricultural schedule blanks to be filled out. Reports from all over the state indicate that the result will be astounding, of n Dix- _Mis Parachute Falled to Work, JEFFERSON, Ia, Sept. 20.—(Spacial)— One of the attract'ons at the late county fair was a balloon ascension.

Some of them have been led astray and are addicted to “hitting the pipe," 80 to speak. Bucks county’s opium joint is located on Finnhook farm, about a mile west of Doyles- town, the trial grounds of a well known Philedelphia seed house. In one portion of the farm are several large beds of poppy plants. It is here the bees get drunk. The poppies are not the polsonous Chinese variety from which opium is obtained, but they con- tain enough of the seductive juice to make a man dizzy after spending some hours in the patch. Quantities of bees can be seen lying about In the cup-shaped flowers. A recent Visit to the farm was very interesting. Hees were to be seen In every stage from partial Intoxication to death itself, the beautitul cups holding the dead bodies of many, OMAHA DAILY INTERESTING LITIGATION IN II)WA.I DEE: S THE NEW R PALACE, A Magnificent S{rudtare Which Haws Been Bullt in New York, The new Astor palace, which will be com- pleted about Octobor 1, will be one of the most beautifully decorated private houses in America. It s of thy modern style of renais- sance. It looks very much like & small Tull- leries, mansard roof and all, but is more elab. orately decorated thafi Ahe palace of Catherine de Medicl, which was burned by the Com- mune., Thig elaboration of detail is carried into the ornamentatiénsof the house proper. Some of the rooms .are so profusely orna- mented as to seem alwost heavy. What looks from the gutside like one house ie in reality two, for (hough you enter in the center of the house by a flight of steps, there is a doorway on each side leading to what has been made two houses by a partit'on run. ning through the middle. This has necess tated the grand staircase boing made narrower than If there had been only one leading up through the center, Mrs, William Astor's house is the northern one. That occupled by John Jacob Astor Is the southern. Ultimately, at Mrs. Willlam Astor's death, the house will ba thrown into one. As it is, some of the rooms are equally divided. This 1s the case with the ball ¥oom, which occuples the center of the house, at the rear of which Is also a pleturs ga'l:ry. O her- wise, Mrs. Astor has suits of apartments which are almost precisely of the same size as those the younger couple occupy on the gouthern end. On entering Mrs, William Astor's house a small recsption room, decorated in tapestry, apparently of Gobelin make, 15 the first to the left. This room, like all others, is as yet un- finished. Next to it, and reached by going into a large marble hall, is the grand salon This Is profusely decorated in goll. It is an immense room, the decorations being in light colors, but gold everywhere. Directly back of this apartment, sepirated by siiding doors, is the dining room, which is about the same size as the parlor. These two apartments oc- cupy nearly the entire ground floor of the house. This dining room fs in strong contrast to the drawing room, the decorations being all in black and gold he general style gives an effect of heaviness, the celling, with its ran:ling and moliings, pres:nting such masses of decoration that, were it not high, there would be a feeling of suffocation. Yet it is all very beautiful and exquisitely finishel. The service is made directly from an elevator which goes to the kitchen below, to the other side of the dining room, and back of it is a pantry a great deal larger than the dining rooms in ordinary private houses. In fact, the effect of all thess rooms seems to be im- mensity. One hundred persons could easily sit down at one time in the dining room. Along the hall, toward the south, through a small door, is the second Astor house, the that will be occupied by Johin Jacob 4 s wife and child, and some fifteen or twenty vants, The upper room smaller than in Mi reason that more peo) the living rooms, are Astor’s house, for the le must be accommo- dated. The library Is about the same siz as the elder Mrs. Astor's, which has a small dressing room off. It is smaller than Mrs. Will'am Astor's, and shows that he has given the best of it to his wife, for her bedroom is one-third larger than Next to Mrs. Astor's bedroom is one of the r apartments in the house—Mrs. As. private batiroom. It is Roman in de- sign, the bath tub being made of one solld block of marble and carved out. The bath it- self is almost round. It is Intended to be fat ther than to lle in. A little Cupid Is rved out of the same plece of marble at the back, and he is looking at two dolphins, out of the mouths of which flow the hot and’ cold water. The ceiling, which is rounded, and which seems to hang like a canopy over the bath, is of Roman mosalc and of the most beautiful finish, g Mrs. Astor's private parlor is a good-sized room, but the dzcoration is unfinished. Beyond this are (wo rooms, one for the day nursery and the other for the night nursery. Then comes the nurse’s rooms and her bathroom. The two houses contain twenty bathrooms, the servants being ac- commodated in this respect almost as well as their masters, The ceilings in the hall are apparently held up by a series of female figures ex- quisitely molded, the work of Karl Bitter. The figures are all female and of life size, the position in every case being different, but each one gracetul and refined. It is ap- perent that the best taste has presided at the selection of these different objects. At the side of the house, but at the back, a staircase unusually narrow leads to the upper floors, but there are two elevators, one at the krmm and another for the seryants at the ack. The second floor Is devoted to school rooms, sewing rooms and Mrs. Astor's maid's room, next to which is ber private bathroom, al- most as daintily finished as those on the lower fioor. In the private rooms are found simplicity and good taste. The mass of gold and ornamentation seems to be reserved al- together for rooms to which friends will be invited and whero the ceremonial receptions will take place. The third floor is devoted entirely to the servants and to storage purposes. One room is given to the apparatus for controlling the hot water-with which the house s heated and another fo linen. All the rooms on this floor are small, though comfortable, and are glven over to the numerous women who do the work of the house. The finish of the rooms is just the kame as on the floors below, hardwocd everywhere and tinted walls, a light blue generally prevailing. The ballroom is’as gorgeous and beautiful as it is possible to imagine. The style has evidently been modeled after the Francis I. room at Fontalnebleau. Above your head as you enter is the music gallery in wrought iron. Directly opposite and at the other end of the room s a panel picture of Queen Eliza- beth, and roand about it are some colossal figures, again designed by Karl Bitter. The tWo most prominent are of women holding with each hand a golden wreath above the head of the Virgin Queen. Around about the rooms, and appearing to be weighed down by the weight of the ceil- ing, are more figures by Bitter, splendid in their muscular proportions and in the ex- pression of face and tension of arm. Pictures line every side of the hall, and above them the ceiling springs Into a canopy, the whole being lighted from above. This Irgom 1s about seventy feet in length and fifty in breadth. It has a highly polished floor, This combination of picture gallery and ballroom 1s most effective, He Protects 1is Home Once More.

Craven and Glen Macs Donough, and describes the resistless move- ment of retributive justice in the case of a trisky stock broker, who is Mr. Reed, as a matter of course, and who, after twenty-one years of unquestioned matrimonial alleglance, is tripped up by an accident to him in Pater- son, N. J, when he should have been in Boston, Mass. The role of Pilkington gives Mr. Reed one of those opportunities for in- tricate entanglements with his women folks which seem to be indispensible to him, and he makes good use of the many ludicrous situations into which the wand ring husbind’s sad propensities lead him. The part is a less bolsterous one than those usually af- fected by this artist, or else he was wearied last night by his recent secret soclety ex- perien his frequent allusions to mystic ceremonials seeming to favor the latter hy- pothesis Mr. Tupper, Mr. Jullin Reed and Mr. Bunny are excellent in character parts, and Miss Bernard, who has not been scen be- fore, made a good Impression, doubling the maid and the printer’s devil. Certain of the older members of the company seemed mis- cast, notably Miss Rush, who, although she is_infallibly charming, evidently finds the of Kitty unsuited to her pecullar abil- ities, Tonight Roland Reed and his excellent cempany will appear in Lloyd & Rosenfeld's bright cowedy, “The Politician, or the Woman's Plank” at Boyd's theater. The play begins with the scene in the ex- terior of Peter Wooley's house. Here are introduced nearly all of the characters of the cast. General Josiah Limber, the politician (Mr. Reed), comes hastily in, as does the politician, who has only a few moments in which to’ save his country, He chats with the ladies and asks to see Mr. Wooley. - He sees him, and falling into the politiclan’s way of calling people by their first name, endeavors to secure Mr. Wooley’s consent to run as a compromise candidate, “the savior of his country,” says General Limber. Mr. Wooley is aghast at the idea, Limber grows enthusiastic, but Wooley refuses, for he lacks the many great qualifications necessary for one occupying that position. Mr. Wooley de- scribes what a_congressman should be: “He should be noble of purpose, Intelligent—'" “It's a pity,” says (he politician, aside, *“to send a man ke that to congress. He'll be s0 lonesome.” The politiclan meets Mrs, Muffin, the widow sister of the prospered can- didate, She is sentimental. “Let us tall of the soul.” “Yes, it is interesting, but it our platform,” breaks in the politiclan, . “He is the deodorizer of politi “If we weight the woman's plank too much it will sink.” And =0 throughout is not on are bright sayings and sbrupt, odd expressions. The characters are all cleverly conceived, one in particular, por- trayed by Miss Isadore Rush, a twentieth century girl, has created o sensation from the novel characterization and dressing of the role. At the matinee this afternoon Craven and MacDonough's comedy, “Innocent as a Lamb,” will be the bill. This is a play new to Omaha theater-goers, the first performance of it here having been glven only last night. Gladys Wallis will be the attraction at Boyd's theater on Tuesday and Wednesday next. She will be seen in the new ‘“‘Ian- chon.” Sam Harrison, the genlal road manager of Charles Frohman's “Too Much Johnson' compary, arrived in the city yesterday. His attraction will appear at Boyd's theater on Wednesday and Thursday, October 2 and 3, with Mr. William Gillette, the author, in the cast. “The Hustler' ment at closes its short engage- the Creighton with two perform- ances today, a matinee at 2:30 and this even- ing at 8:3.

Over- zealous In her al hment she causes consid- orable trouble, but atohes for it in the end by sacrificing her life for that of her mistress in one of the negro insurrections at Santa Cruz. The peculiar local dialect, the fine shades of caste governing tho inhabltants and the many superstitions provalent are all well handled in presenting this charming plcture of life in the garden of the Antilles. ON THE SUWANEE RIVER—By Ople Reade. Cloth, $1. Laird & Lee, Chicago, The story hardly meets the usual standard of Mr., Reade's efforts, Some of the char- acters are overdrawn and the language is often stilted.

THE OLD SETTLER, THE 'SQUIRE AND LITTLE PELEG--By Ed Mott. Cloth, $1; paper, 50 cents. United States Book com- pany, New York. t {8 a real pleasure to form the acquaint- anca of such droll characters as those portrayed by Mr. Mott. The old setilsr, the principal character, fz an old-timer of the crossroads specles, whose mind 1s stored with an fnexhaustible fund of wonderful ex- periences kept ready on tap to be poured out in drowning floods over the pretensions of any rival teller of storfes in the neighbor- hood. There fs a good deal of rich humor lurking behind his frascible temperament and his rhetorical capacity may better be im- agined when it fs said that he could chop words shorter and stretch them longer thin any border orator that ever breathed. The squ'r2, always ready to nag his senior, and Little Peleg, the old settler's grandson, are interesting types of the bordsr character. While most of tnom have already gained enviable popularity in the columns of the New York Sun, they all deserve more perma- nent place in literature and will bear reading more than once. LITERARY NOTES. Hans Breitmann's new hook is announced for early publication by Unwin in London and Lippincott in Philadelphia. It is to be entitled “Hans Bre#tmann in Germany." An intimate friend of Thomas Hardy repre- sents him as having said that “Hearts In- surgent,” has been %o carved and emascu- lated in the interest of magazine proprieties that when it appears in its original form as a book it will have the effect of quite a new work. Tho Goethe Archives have just ylelded an- other treasure. This is a manuscript voiume of verse intermingled with prose, containing about 100 pages. Only eleven of these pages contain poems that at some previous time have been given to the world, “Two neat phrases,” says the Publishers' Weekly, ‘“‘are flitting about the literary world, ' The first is due to Mr. Zangwill, who lately spoke of a number of contem- poraneous writers as ‘falling into the seer and Yellow Book.' The second is attributed by an essayist in Blackwood’s to an anony- mous _and probably imaginary friend who classified decadent literature as of three kinds—erotic, neurotic, and tommyratic.” One of the new magazines to be started in New York in the fall will have no illus- trations, Its projectors belleve that ‘the illustration of ~ our popular magazines s being overdone, and that the public is tiring of simple ‘picture articles,’ the chief merit of which lies not in the letter press,,but in the pictorlal art.”” They afirm boldly that “articles are accepted by the editors of most magazines simply because of their adaptability to illustration, and that the in- trinsic worth of the materiai itscif is lost sight of, and purposely so."* The police are suppressing the sale of the Indianapolis People, Police News, Poli zette, the Ilustrated Record, and other ser sational papers in Richmond, Ind. Thes papers are what s classed by & new law as perniclous literature. The law was passed by the last general assembly, and provides a penalty of from $10 to $200 for printing, selling, or publishing books, papers, or peri- odicals, the chief feature or characteristic of which is the record of crime or the plctures of crime committed, criminals, des- peradoes, or men and women In ‘‘unbecom- ing cqgtumes.” The newsdealers packed the papers’ up and sent them back to the news companies. —— Had Tried It.
