George Carmichael , .three .miles . 'south-
west of Butte , was.burned.withaU farm
machinery , hay .and forty bushels of
wheat The fire , is supposed.to have
caught from.a stave pipe on the house.
ONE of the boldest cases .of horse
stealing reported in that section for a
long time occurred at Beatrice last
: week. L. E. Meadows , who lives six
miles northwest of the .city , came to
town driving a bay mare .attached to a
top buggy. lie leftthe : outfit standing
, on Ella street , near .the postoffice , for
about a half.hour .and .when he returned -
turned , : horse and , buggy were gone.
He says , he knows the .animal was securely -
curely tied.and could not have gotten

A FIHEoccurred an Eairburv in the
t wo-story frame building owned by Dr.
I A. .Clarke and occupied by Speinburgh
S ; Eemahasir's meat market. The
building with one .adjoining , owned
and occupied by A. C. Lauffer , was en-

goods , badlydamaged by fire and wa-
, tei , insurance , 5x00 on building and

$ 1,800 ; with $1,300 insurance.
THE big snow shed on the Union Pacific -
cific , near Sherman , was destroyed by
.fi re last week. The cause was probably -
bly sparks from a locomotive. The
sheds will not be rebuilt. When the
Union Pacific was built scores of gi-
g antic snow sheds were erected , and
during the Adamsadmiuistration these
sheds were kept up , for there was
something romantic in having snow
sheds , to the president. But under the
new regime it is seen that the sheds
are not necessary , and are dangerous.
R. McLEOD's general merchandise
store at Hemingford was broken into
last week and the safe blown open and
robbed of about $150 in cash , The thief
was undoubtedly an expet t as every-
t hing was done systematically. A news-
p aper was glued to the glass on the
door and the glass broken under the
paper to prevent noise. A large wrench
w as secured at a blacksmith shop , with
which the knob on the safe door was
twisted off. Giant powder was placed
in the hole and the sofa door blown entirely
tirely off. There is no clue to the perpetrator -
petrator of the deed ,
A WASHINGTON dispatch says : Secretary -
retary Smith has directed that there be
printed in the papers in which were
the advertisements calling for proposals -
als for the resurvey of Grant and
H ooker counties , a notice to the effect
that the opening of the bids had been
p ostponed 'until Wednesday , November
7. 't'his action was made necessary by
reason of the closing of the interior department -
partment on Saturday last , the day set
for the opening of the proposals , in or-
d er that the building might be thoroughly -
oughly fumigated to prevent the spread
of smallpox , which had become almost
epidemic.
DONATIONS for the drouth sufferers are
reported by Rev. , L. P. Ludden to be
coming in in lib _ oral quantities. All
the supplies that the commission has ,
and all that will be at its disposal until
the legislature makes an appropriation ,
will be such as are contributed by private -
vate parties. Besides the donations
from Richmond , Ind. , and Baltimore ,
tthidt liege reported several days ago ,
air. Ludden ) ) a ; a train load of wheat l
at Portland , Ore. , which has been given
by the people of that state. The charitable -
itable people of the eastern states who
h ave been applied to have responded
quickly : The railroads have given free
transportation for the goods and aided
in the work. Mr. Ludden has the as-
surance from the Burlington people that th
the Oregon wheat will be hauled by
that road free from Billings when the
N orthern Pacific torus it over at that
plac0.
Aid for Drouth Sufferers.
The question of how to look after sufferers -
ferers , says the Lincoln Journal , from
the unprecedented drouth until the al
next regular session of the legislature
was taken up by Governor Clounse several -
eral months since. lie appointed Rev.
L. P. Ludden , who was secretary of the
old relief commission , to make inqui-
es as to the amount of assistance needed - '
ed in Nebraska and the localities where
most needed. This involved a great
deal of systematic research , including
inquiry of country officers as to the m
number of calls for aid and the ability
of the counties to provide for their own
needy. This work has been done , and
his excellency , the governor , appointed
relief commission to cooperate with
lieu. Ludden in giving relief. The commission - w
mission so appointed consists of IV. N.
Mason and Dr. Joseph Duryea , Omaha ;
S. B. Thompson , Broken Bow ; R. R
Greer , Kearney ; A. J. . Sawyer , John
\icClay , J. Ii. Hartley and C J. Ernest ,
Lincoln. To each of these Governor to
Crounse has sent the following letter :
"The severe drouth of the present
season has brought with it much distress -
tress and has occasioned the necessity
for relief. The matter of looking after
the needy until the next regular session -
sion of the legislature has been referred
to the several counties and localities
thus afflicted. Still , there is a demand
for help beyond the ability of the several - h
eral localities to meet which calls far
outside aid. In order that thsaid } may
be furnished and method green to its
distribution , I have called to my assistance -
tance the Rev. Luther 1' . Ludden , who of
for some time has been engaged in
making inquiry as to the amount of as-
stance needed and the several localities -
ties where most demanded. With the
iew to assisting him in this good work
and giving an opportunity to the charitably -
itably disposed to make donations , I
have to request that you will co-oper-
te with him in soliciting and distributing -
ing such donations as you may be able
secure.
"I trust that you may find it agreeable -
able to engage at once in this labor , as
the time liar come when these needy
people should have prompt attention.
Please advise me at once whether you 0.
tcll kindly engage } n this goad work. "

PROTECTIYES INOCEED OUT
JUDGE FOSTER , DECIDES THE
SANTA FE CASE.
THE DIRECTORS flIN EVERY POINT
? lie Contention for Cumulative VotIit
of Stock Declared Not Well Based
lu a Single '
Regard-The 'Tem-
porary Restraining Order Vu-
cated by the Court-New
IioarLof Directors.
TOPEKA , Kan. , Nov. 6.-The present
organization has won the fight for
the control of the Atchison , Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad , Judge Foster
of tits United States district court
rendering a decision today to the
proceedings to matte the temporary
injunction permanent , which knocks
the only prop the protectives had from
under them. The court vacated the
temporary order restraining the old
organization from proceeding with
an election excepting under time cumulative -
ulative plan of toting , anti declared
that the cumulative system did not
apply. The decision- exhausted the
subject and occupied about an hour
fit delivery.
The only contention was the claim
made by the complainant , William
Palmer Smith of New Jersey , of the
right to rote his stock on the cumulative -
tive method-that is , to rote all his
stock multiplied by thirteen for one
director , or only the face of his hold-
i ng for thirteen directors , as he might
elect. To make this claim good it was
necessary for his counsel to show to
the court that the company had abandoned -
doned its territorial charter , and ac-
c epted subsequent state laws , and
thereby become subjectto the statute
providing for cumulative voting.
Judge Foster said at the outset of
his decision that this was an import-
a nt case-important riot only to the
parties interested in the property ,
b ut to the public generally. Neither
party questioned the validity of the
c harter of the company , but the com-
plainantclaimed that it had been
modified by subsequent laws of congress -
gress and the state legislature. The
organic act of admission , however ,
did -not change the rights of corth
porations . and congress could
not change the vested right
of corporations. The original charter
gave the power of the corporation
into the hands of aboard of thirteen
directors , and in their election each
s hare was entitled to one vote for
each director. The territorial laws
of 1855 say that the charter of every
corporation may be modified by sub-
se quent legislation , provided it does
not affect tested rights. It must be
conceded , therefore , that the company
may stand'on its rights unless it has
given them away by its own acts.
The opinion then cites state legis-
la tion which the company has accepted - st
ed , from the law of 1803 , authorizing
railroad corporations to chance their
names and construct telegraph linesto
that of 18S7 , ptithorizing among other
things , the issue of increased stock. ±
Referring to the latter statute , time
court said : "It is strenuously insisted -
sisted by , plaintiff that as the
defendant corporation acted unJo
der the act of 1887 and issued
gr
stock , such stock was invested with
all the attributes of the other stocks
of the corporation and became sub.
ject to the requirements of the laws
of the state , including the late providing -
viding for cumulative voting. This
undoubtedly the strongest point
the plaintiff makes. Still it rests
upon an implication and the court is $
asked to divest the corporation of an
admitted vested right on the strength
an implication. This is not favored
the law. "
After quoting additional authorities -
ties and commenting upon them , the
court concluded , saying : "For the
reasons above given , there is no justification -
fication in lacy for the order of injunction - M
junction asked for and it must be de-
nied. "
Henry Wollman , on behalf of the P.
complainant , tool ; an exception to the vu
decision , and court adjourned.
It is the opinion of the council for
the directors that the whole matter
s been finally settled and tt } Il not S.
ain come up in any form. The pro W
tectives have one appeal , to the
United States circuit court of appeals ,
composed of Judges CadttellSanborn ]
and Thayer , but this cannot prevent off
election to day , and furthermore M
is altogether unlikely that this ap
deal will be taken.

CLEVELAND'S POSITION. t
Explained by the chairman of the Democratic -
ocratic Committee. j
WASIINOTON , Nov. 5. - Senator ,
Faulkner , chairman of the Democratic -
cratic congressional compaign coin- 7
mittee , yesterday made a statement . -R ,
with reference to his recent call upoa
the president , at which the political
situation was talked over. r
"As chairman of the congressional , r
committee I called upon the presi-
dent. During the interview I conveyed - i
veyed to him all the information I
had in reference to the congressional
contests throughout the country , andi
the prospects of the Democratic party
in the various states. Our conversation -
tion was confined to the outlook in
pending congressional elections , and
I found the president , as always , in
previous conversations involving the
interests of the Democratic party to
the various states , manifesting the
deepest concern in the information h
communicated to him , and in the
hopes I expressed for our success in
maintaining a Democratic majority
in the Fifty-fourth congress.
"He impressed me in that interview
as having time same earnest and sincere -
cere interest in the results of this
election , which have always charac-
t erized cis utterances in the interest
of Democratic principles when they
were on trial before the people of this
country. He clearly indicated he was
satisfied with the direction given the
campaign by the congressional corn-
mittee , in earnestly and intelligently
bringing before the voters the results
of Democratic action in the endeavor
of congress to redeem Democratic ,
piedres , Of course we all recognize
the fact , because Mr. Cleveland is one
who does not conceal from the public
his maturely- formed opinions , that he
had hoped for the passage of a revenue -
enue measure more in accordance ; ,
with his views of the pledges
of the party in its declaration at Chi- j
eago. But as lie has already stated ,
what has been done "will certainly
lighten many tariff burdens that note
rest heavily upon the people , " and lie
seemed to fully approve the course of
the committee in drawing tlic contrast -
trast between the onerous and btu -
dcusomc actions of the McKinley bill
and the reduct'ons made by the exist-
i ng laws ; approving fully the presentation -
tation by the committee as shown in
its campaign book as tvellas its other
literature , the difference in the condition -
tion of the treasury under his former
administration and that of his successor -
cessor , 11r. Harrison , and the deplorable -
able condition of the treasury tthcu
turned over to him by his predecessor.
"You can rest assured I express my
honest judgment when I say that
from my conversation with the president -
dent , no malt takes a deeper interest
in the success of the Democratic party -
ty in the presentcampaign and in the
anxiety of the committee to return a
majority to the Fifty-fourth congress
than President Cleveland. "
