'I'lie ri'iiorter.bv his own state-1 hicnt, did not attempt to enter the ed- illce. and it is quite possible that he may have misinterpreted that "theatri cal wave of the hand." In some of the churches the disguised reporters were singled out and urged to call again, and Mr. llradt, of the Second Presby terian church, was particularly cordial to the tough looking visitor. The churches, on the whole, stood the test remarkably well. The almost uniform courtesy of the ushers spoiled what might otherwise have been an interest ing newspaper feature. In the last year or two the Lincoln newspapers have resorted to many increasing their popularity, but proba-1 bly the most successful scheme of this sort ever worked in this city was the niano contest of the Kri uiun AYtc.v.

Probably half of these votes were coupons cut out of the AYim; the remainder represented cash paid for advance subscriptions, .miss j',m ami Miss Jones each received over ri"i,(H:t) votes. The total vote was over l.HMHMi Throughout the entile contest consid erable interest was manifested in the outcome, and during the last week or two the race was positively exciting. The AYirx was in demand everywhere, not on account of Mr. Low's brilliant editorials or the insouciant Mr. Dob bins's interesting Topics, or Mr. Cut right's contributions to local history, but because hundreds of people were on the warpath for the piano coupons. Nearly every copy had a hole in it within a few minutes alter it left the otllce. lu the last three days the votes of the three leaders increased from llUMHl or ll.iKHl to the tlgiires given above, and it is said that cTtH in cash was taken in at the Aeass ollice the closing day of the contest for subsciip - tiou and coupons, m all me vi axis reputed to have realized over cd.lHM in money and to have increased its circu lation' In the neighborhood of .MHl so the scheme was unquestionably a big success. An interesting fact in con nection with t lie competition for the principal prize, which has not thus far been alluded to. was the rivalry be tween the Catholics and Protestants as a matter of fact Here was a small sized "war" on.

Nearly everybody thought Maxwell would dissent; so the action of the court on Monday caused little excite inellt. o Lawyers and other Imparl ial observ ers urn pretty generally of the opin ion that the evidence introduced did not warrant a verdict of guilty. It was shown that the state olllcers were careless in the administration BOOTH. of state aii'airs, anil the pro- 'cccdings of the board of public lands and buildings were clearly shown to be irregular in a number of in ' stances, notably the appropriation of Wi for the tour of inspection of the board, ami the payment of WO out of I the state money to defray the expenses of delegates to the prison congress; but the accusers failed to establish I any criminal act 011 the part of the of llcials, ami very few people will con tend that they ought to have been convicted upon the evidence. Judge Post's opinion is a pretty clear exposi tion of the case, and a careful reading between the lilies will probably satisfy those who thought the court should administer a reprimand to the olllcers for their carelessness. Messrs Allen, Hastings, and Hum phrey are receiving congratulations this week. It was a trying ordeal that tliey passed through, and an expensive one.
