LIxcoLx dispatch : Judge } Vakeley
came down from Omaha today and
filed with the clerk of the supreme
court a motion for a new trial of the
case of the state against ex-Treasurer
John E. Hill and his bondsmen. The
supreme court will meet next Tuesday ,
the 21st inst. , and quite likely set a
day for the beginning of the trial. It
is not thought that the retrial of the
case will occupy so much time , as all
the testimony taken in the last trial
has been reduced to writing and made
a part of the record , from which it can
be read to the jury.
To Get Old Soldiers Listed.
Assistant Adjutant General Gage of
the Grand Army of the Republic has
issued the following circular to the various -
rious posts of the state , advising them
to assist county clerks in preparing correct -
rect reports of soldiers and sailors in
the war of the rebellion , now residents
of Nebraska :
"LINCOLN , May IS , 1503.-The law
makes it the duty of the assessors of
the state to make a true and correct
report of all soldiers and sailors of the
late war of the rebellion in their townships - .
ships and districts to the county clerks , i
and they to the secretary of state , and
he to have the same published. This
makes a very valuable work if it is correctly -
rectly done. In the past this has been
so carelessly performed by many of the
assessors and county clerks as to make
the record of little value. First , many
names omitted ; second , the companies
and regiments incorrectly stated ; third ,
so poorly written that it could not be
read by the printer.
"I therefore ask the commander of
the posts at the county seats to see that
one of the members of the post corrects -
rects the county clerk's report before
it is sent to the secretary of state.
' 'I believe that every county clerk
will be glad to receive this assistance.
It is at this time very important that i
we have the roster of the soldiers and
sailors correct.
The state generously pays for this :
work and it is our duty to see that it is
correctly compiled.
'By order of the-department com-
mander.

WILDE IS GUILTY.

PRISONMENT.

Lockwood Vigorously Scores the Prisoner -
oner , but the Judge Favors him-
End of a Sensational Case.
London , May 27.-Oscar Wilde , guilty ,
erstwhile apostle of estheticism was
erstwhile apostle of testheticism was
sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
Alfred Taylor , Wilde's associate , was
also sentenced to two years' imprison-
ment. Both the prisoners' terms are
to be worked out at hard labor.
The courtroom was crowded with
spectators when Sir Francis Lockwood ,
solicitor general , resumed his address
to the jury. He severely commented on
the prisoner's intimacy with Lord
Frederick Douglas and the exhibition
of the younger man by the elder one at
hotels and public places in and about
London. Referring to the much-com-
mented-on letters which Wilde wrote to
Lord Alfred Douglas , counsel said that
the jury had been told they were too
low to appreciate such poetry , and he
thanked God it was so , as it showed
they were above the level of beasts.
( Applause , which the judge promptly
suppressed. ) v
Sir Edward Clarke , being counsel for
Wilde , here interposed objections to
such appeals as the one just made by
Sir Francis Lockwood , which counsel
claimed , should not be allowed. When
Sir Francis Lockwood continued his
speech he warned the jury to render a
verdict which would prevent "such a
detestable and abominable vice from
rearing its head unblushingly in this
country. "
Justice Wills began summing up at
1:30 : The general tenor of his address
to the jury was favorable to Wilde.
The jury retired at 3:30 and reported
its verdict at 5:30 :
MARKETS FOR AMERICA.
Consular Reports on Avenues for Ex
tending the United States' Trade.
Washington , May 27.-The bureau of
statistics of the state department has
lust published reports from consular officers -
ficers upon the oriental market for
daily products and fruit. Consul Hunt ,
at Hong Kong sums up the subject for
that part of China as follows :
There are two articles-condensed
milk and raisins-from the United
States which are used by Europeans and
Chinese and should command an important -
portant place in the market. I might
add that butter , ham and bacon and all
kinds of salt meats are in demand at
a small profit.
Consul Sommer at Bombay says that
California canned fruits and preserves
are considered the best in the Bombay
market. No butter or cheese is imported -
ported from the United States.
Consul General Polk , at Calcutta ,
says there is small chance for United
States fruit growers to secure a market
in Bengal. The United Kingdom has
most of the trade.
Vice Consul Boon , at Padang , reports
that the dairy products are almost exclusively -
clusively from Holland and Switzer-
land. The imported fruits there come
exclusively from California.
WANTS TO RUN ITSELF.
Formosa Issues a Declaration of Inde
pend ence. I
Washington , May 27.-The state department -
partment has received a cablegram from
Mr. Danby , United States minister to
China , stating that the island of Formosa -
mesa has declared her independence ;
that the powers have been so notified ,
and that a government , republican in
form , has been established in For-
mosa.
This adds a new complication to the
situation in the east. Before the government -
ernment can recognize the Formosan
independence it must be shown that a
provislonal government which can stand
has been organized.
There are great numbers of Japanese
in Formosa , and it remains to be seen
what course they will adopt.
MARSHALS ARE DISCHARGED.
Whisky Trust Distilleries at Peoria Still
Guarded.
Peoria , Ill. , May 27.-The deputy
United States marshals from Chicago
who have been guarding the Distilling
and Cattle Feeding distilleries , left to-
day. Regular watchmen were sworn
in this morning to take their place.
Representative S. Shaffer , of Chicago ,
author of the house bill to prohibit feed-
ng of distillery slop , is in the city today.
He says the house will do nothing about
the matter until it comes to them from
the senate , and the house commitee ,
which made the investigation , will not
make a report because the senate committee -
mittee report is substantially what
theirs would be.
A Fugitive Messenger Caught.
San Francisco , Cal. , May 27.-John
FIett , 18 years old , is under arrest in
this city awaiting the arrival of an officer -
cer from Chicago to take him east.
Flett was a messenger in the employ
of the Fort Dearborn national bank and
as such was intrusted with the collection -
tion of checks and drafts.
Nearly two months ago , after having -
ng collected $560 , Flett disappeared. He
says he was seized with an uncontrollable -
able desire to come west and did so , in
ompany with a young companion.
Cowboys Do Battle With Apaches.
Phoenix , Ariz. , May 27.-Information
las been received here through J. J.
Frazier , a prominent cattle man whose
ranch is in the Sierra Anenas , that cowboys -
boys have had a fight with apaches ,
who were believed to be members of
Apache Kid's band. A squaw was
killed and an IncUan wounded. The
cowboys believe that the latter is kid
himself. The fight took place in the
upper San Pedro valley , in the vicinity
f the San Carlos reservation.

ST. LOUIS READY FOR WORK.
Big American Liter Starts on Her
Ocean Test Trip.
Philadelphia , May 27. At 11:45 to-day
the pioneer of the modern American
merchant marines , the giant steamship
St. Louis , cast off her hawsers at
Cramps' shipyard and started clown the
Delaware river on her initial ocean voy-
age. As the big steamer pointed her
nose down the stream she was greeted
by all kinds of craft in the river , the
noise being simply deafening. This was
continued until the St. Louis had
passed League island , the extreme
lower end of the city.
The St. Louis is the largest vessel
that has ever sailed down the Delaware -
ware river. She is in command of Capt.
Wm. C. Randle , and the crew of 400
men who sailed away with her to-day
will take the big vessel on her initial
voyage across the Atlantic. The St.
Louis will anchor to-night at Reedy is
land. To-morrow morning between 2 and
4 o'clock she will weigh anchor and run
down to the capes where her compasses
will be adjusted and the trial trip will
be on. It is expected that she will remain -
main at sea from four to five days and
then go to New York.
The contract for the St. Louis calls
for a speed of twenty knots an hour ,
but it is thought that she will easily
surpass this speed.
TO REMOVE THE BAN.
,
Effort to Be Made to Iteconsider the
Boycott of Union Seminary.
Pittsburg , Pa. , May 27.-The ninth
day's session of the 107th general assembly -
sembly attracted more than the ordinary -
ary number of commissioners for this
late day. The word had been passed
to the conservative leaders that the liberals -
erals were moving toward the repeal of
their pet measure , the boycotting of the
students of Union seminary. To this
end Moderator Booth has been besieged
by some of the influential friends of the
seminary , and it is understood the plan

session and asking for an expression

ed and adopted by vote of the assembly.
The answer carried with it a recom-
ipendation for a petition to congress ,
praying against a repetition of this act.
HENEY IS SLIPPERY.
Dian Who Looted the Carson hint is
Diflicult to Capture.
San Francisco , May 27.-The secret
service agents throughout the United
States are on the lookout for James H.
Heney , charged to be in the band that
looted the Carson mint by carrying
away $50,000 of gold from the melting
and refining department.
The accusation of the officials is
that Heney got about $50,000 of the total
amount stolen. He was assistant to the
melter and refiner , Jones , who was arrested -
rested several months ago for complicity -
plicity in the crime. After leaving Ne
vada Heney went to Butte , Mont. , and
then he visited many mining towns ,
among them the important camps in
Colorado. He was recently heard of at
a small camp in Colorado called Koko-
mo , where he was visiting a friend
named McClasky. The government of i
cials surrounded the cabin where Heney
was supposed to be hiding. He had
learned of their approach and had de-
parted. He was last heard of at Pu-
eblo.

Cohoes , N. Y. , May 27.-Anna May
Shannon , a pretty little blue-eyed 6-year
old daughter of John Shannon of this
city , went upon the street to play with
some companions. Some time later ,
three boys , playing near the Hudson ,
say a body floating , partially sub-
merged. The body , which was that of
the little Shannon girl , was dragged
ashore.
There was a gaping wound in the
right temple. The body was taken to an
undertaking establishment and the coroner -
oner ordered an examination. Physi-
clans found the poor little creature had
been brutally assaulted. The body presented -
sented a frightful appearance.
The Wheat Bulge.
Chicago , May 25.-The wheat market
was wild , nervous , irregular and uncertain -
tain to-day. It opened weak at 75y ,
which was 1V cents below yesterday's
close at 77. The brokers were half-
crazy. The pit was full of selling orders
and half the traders wanted to sell on
their own account as well. At the same
moment wheat was selling in different
parts of the pit at every fractional
price between 788 and 75' % . The professionals -
fessionals jumped on the market with
all their feet and stamped prices down
and down , and before they were stopped
the quotation of 74 % had been made.
Then the bulls began to toss their
horns and when they quit for a breathing -
ing spell they had lifted the market to
79 % and they kept it close to that figure
till the close , which was at 79t/ .
. Tobacco Workers Organize.
St. Louis , Mo. , May 27.-The Tobacco
Workers' National Union has completed

Jaly Wheat Touches a High Figcr a4
Chicago.
Chicago , May 22.-Wheat scored another -
other advance today and took a long
step toward the dollar mark. The opening -
ing quotation was 741 c and the closing
figure was ' 714c , a gain of 3 yc over the
closing of yesterday. The advance was
accompanied by many fluctuations and
reactions , but the ascending tendency
was almost without interruption. Values -
ues were forced upward by a combination -
tion of news of the most "bullish"
kind. Other markets at home and
abroad were active and higher ; reports
Piom all parts of the wheat-producing
district indicate enormous damage to
the crop , and there was a multitude of
buying orders in the hands of the commission -
mission houses. The market responded
quickly to these influences. It opened
at 74c and 74 } c , three-fourths of a
cent above yesterday's closing figure
of 73c. On short order the quotations
climbed to 75c , and by 11:30 o'clock
the top notch of 76c was touched , a
clear gain of 3 cents a bushel over the
close of yesterday. The market eased
off a little after this.
The crop reports received in the brok-
ers' offices were most discouragin& , In
Indiana , Illinois , Michigan , Wisconsin ,
the Dakotas and Nebraska there seems
to be reason to suppose that not more
than half a wheat crop will be harvest-
ed. The responsibility for the damage
seems to be divided among the frost ,
the chinch bugs and the Hessian flies.
All three have worked injury to the
young wheat , and the ravages are
greater than was at first supposed.
Many fields of wheat which were
thought to be safe are now reported to
be turning yellow and withering , and
the decay is said to be due to the pestiferous -
tiferous Hessian fly.
WHITE'S IDENTITY FIXED.
Few York Court Sends a Special Commissioner -
missioner to Washington.
Port Townsend , Wash. , May 23.-The
death and identity of Ansel White , the
lost heir to the $4,000,000 estate , has
been fully established by a special court
commission sent to this coast by the
probate court of Utica , N. Y. It appears
a period of fifty years elapsed from the
time White hurridly left his home in
company with another man's wife until
his heirs learned of his death near Port
Angeles.
White and the woman went to Illinois ,
where they separated and he went out
west to California and ultimately settled -
tled on a lonely ranch in the Olympic
mountains , where thirty' years later he
died. His will bequeathing all his
worldly possessions to Preston M. Troy
is pronounced worthless so far as it ap-
nies to the eastern estate.

FIGHT OVER SILVER.
Free-Coinage Resolutions Tabled by
Iowa Federation of Labor.
Ottumwa , Iowa , May 23.-The State
Federation of Labor closed its session
in this city yesterday after a red-hot
fight on silver , non-union mines , and
the socialistic plank adopted by the national -
tional federation at Denver. The resolution -
lution in favor of the free. coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 , was laid
on the table and the question referred
back to the various unions for settle-
ment. The socialistic plank met the
same fate. The date of holding the
next convention was changed from the
third Monday in May to the second
lionday in December. The Union Standard -
ard , of Des Moines , was made the official -
cial organ of the federation. Among the
resolutions was one suggesting a change
in the Australian ballot , making it possible -
sible for the voter to express an opinion
on matters of public interest for the
guidance of legislators and officials ;
and one denouncing cheap labor in the
guise of charity. L. T. Jones of Burlington -
lington was elected president

THE BUCKEYESTATE CONTRIBUTES -
UTES THIS STORY.
How Fred Taylor , of the Gallant 189th.
N. Y.1 V. I. , Fhially Found
What lie Bought.
( From the Ashtabula. Ohio , Beacon. )
Mr. FredTaylorwas born and brought
up near Elmira , N. Y. , and from there
enlisted In the 189th regiment , N. Y. , V.
I. , with which he went through the war , J
and saw much hard service. Owing to
exposure and hardships during the service -
vice , Mr. Taylor contracted chronic
diarrhoea from which he has suffered
now over 30 years , with absolutely no
help from physicians. By nature he
was a wonderfully vigorous man. Had
he not been his disease and the experiments -
ments of the doctors had killed him longS
ago. Laudanum was the only thing'
which afforded him relief. He had terrible -
rible headaches , his nerves were shattered -
tered , he could not sleep an hour a day
on an average , and he was reduced to a.
skeleton. A year ago , he and his wife
sought relief In a change of climate and
removed to Geneva , Ohio ; but the
change In health came not. Finally on i
the recommendation of F. J. Hotfner ,
the leading druggist of Geneva , who
was cognizant of similar cases which
Pink Pills had cured , Mr. Taylor was
persuaded to try a box. "Ac a drown-
ing man grasps a straw so I took the 1
pills , " says Mr. Taylor , "but with no
more hope of rescue. But after thirty
years of suffering and fruitless search I
for relief I at last found it in Dr. Will-
lams' Pink Pills. The day after I took
the first pills I commenced to feel better
and when I had taken the first box I
was in fact a new man. That was
two months ago. Mr. Taylor has since
taken more of the pills and his progress i
is steady and he has the utmost confidence -
fidence in them. He has regained full
control of his nerves and sleeps as well
as in his youth. Color is coming back
to his parched veins and he is gaining
flesh and strength rapidly. He is now
able to do considerable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his sufferings -
ings , experience and cure to a Beacon
reporter Mrs. Taylor said she
wished to add her testimony in f
favor of Pink Pills. To the pills alone
is due the credit of raising Mr. Taylor
from ahelpless invalid to the man lie is
to-day , " said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Taylor can not find words to
express the gratitude they feel or recommend -
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering
humanity. Any inquiries addressed to
them at Geneva , Ohio , regarding Mr.
Taylor's case they will cheerfully answer -
swer as they are anxious that the whole
world shall know what Pink PiUs have
done for them.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all i
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists , or may be had by snail
from Dr. Williams Medicine company ,
Schenectady , N. Y. , for 50 cents per box ,
or six boxes for $2.50.
London's Infernal Machine.
A most interesting case is devoted
entirely to infernal machines found in
London. Some of them have simply
been robbed of their explosives and
are in appearance just as they were
when in the hands of the anarchists. A
few having exploded are represented
only by packages of torn and twisted
fragments. The most ingenious of the
former is made so that it exactly resembles -
sembles a large chunk of coal. That
which was found in the house of the
duke of Bedford is , externally , merely
a till can. The only really amusing
thing in the whole museum is in this
case. It is a queer shaped aitair with
a curving neck , and was found in front
of the house of a very exalted person.
Dismay was general , for it was taken
for granted that it was a bomb. Subsequent -
quent investigation , however , developed -
oped the fact that it was a model for a
baby's feeding bottle.
BROAD TIRE WAGONS.
There Is No Reason Why They Should
Not Be Used Everywhere.
While the subject of good roads is being -
ing agitated in every part of the country
those most interested in the subject are
doing their best to make bad roads '
still worse by using narrow tires on
their wagons. Heavy loads are drawn
over our mud roads on these narrow-
tired wagons and deep ruts cut into
them , that in wet weather make them
almost , and sometimes entirely , im-
passable. I have a sort of a pity for
a man who urges his team alone a
muddy road , all the time grumbling
about the badness of it , when he might
reduce the labor of his team from one-
tl ird to one-half by using wide tires at
very little additional cost to himself
and to the great saving of team and
temper. It is to be hoped that the first
legislation looking to the improvement
of the roads of the country will be in the
way of encouraging the use of wide
tires , for one narrow-tired wagon will
do more damage than a dozen with
wide tires if the roads are at all soft.
No one disputes the philosophy of wide
tires , and no one seems to have any
good reason to offer why they should
not be used. Our farmers simply follow -
low precedent and go on using narrow
tires because their fatners did before
them. Lumbermen and freighters us'
wide tires almost universally and save
money by doing so , but it seems that
farmers do not care to economize in
this direction. The condition of our
reads costs us more than any other
single item of waste in this country ,
and the common use of aide tires
would reduce this waste of energy tea
a large extent.-American Farmer and
Farm News.
Moses , the great lawgiver and author
of the first five books of our old Bible ,
is said to have died on the anniversary
of his birth , being exactly 120 years old.
The process of toasting is said to induce -
duce a peculiar chemical change in the
