VANDEKDILT , GOULD and FIELD are al

Mu. CLEVELAND has too much love for
the mugwump to suit the straight out
democrats. The mugwump is good
enough when it cornea to voting for a
democratic president , bnt when it comes
to holding office he is entitled to no con
sideration.
Mu. KKILEY has exchanged the mis
sion to Rome for that of St. Petersburg.
Ho would rather risk himself among the
nihilists and dynamite bombs than face
King Humbert and tackle macaroni. He
has never had occasion to aseall the
father of the czar as ho did the paternal
ancestor of the present king of Italy.
POSTMASTEIIS who have Increased their
K- sales of stamps , and consequently their
\ salary , by using stamps to pay tholr gro
cery bills , and to purchase household
goods , will have to go. The postmaster
at Oamdcn , N. J. , Is charged with having
purchased two pianos and about $1,000
9 worth cf merchandise with postage
stamps , and ho has been removed , Ho
Is probably not the only ono that has
played this gamo.
NOTWITHSTANDING the assertion that
Mr. Morgan , the newly-appointed consul-
general of Melbourne , "has always been
a democrat , and was a supporter of
Cleveland , " the New York Evening Post
repeats Its charge that he was an offen
sive Blaine partisan , and did all ho could
for him during the campaign , The Post
I knocks the bottom out of the statement
that Morgan's Blaine pamphlet was In no
eonao a political document , designed
merely for private distribution ,
HISTOUY repeats itself. Should war
bo declared between Russia and England
within the next few days wo may look
for a repetition of the Alabama and
Kearssge fight. There is now lying in
Norfolk harbor a Russian corvette , while
not far distant la an English war vessel.
The moment that the announcement is
made that war has been declared tboy
will open fire on each other. The Eng
lish cruiser is satd to bo the superior In
In size , weight of metal and number of
crow , and In the event of a fight will
probably be victorious.
COKOHESSMAM-KLECT HXNLXY , of Cali
fornia , finds himself placed In rather an
awkward predicament. It ii charged
that he Is an Allen , ho having taken an
oath of allegiance to Maximilian when
emperor of Mexico. Mr. Henley denies
the charge , and his friends maintain that
even If It wore true it would amount to
nothing , as Maximilian's government wu
never recognized by the United States.
However , it to very likely that his seat
will bo contested ou this point , If suffi
cient evidence can bo obtained to sub
stantiate the charge.
THERE will be a vacancy In the Platts-
month postofQce on the let of May. Mr.
Marshall , who was appointed [ by Abra
ham Lincoln , about twenty-four years
ago , lias tendered his resignation , al
though his term docs not expire until
two years hence. There are several old
cottiers In Flattimouth who are willing
io serve tholr country , but Dr. Miller ,
BI we all know , refuses to act as United
States senator , and Tobe Cistor , who has
already secured ono appointment pos
itively declines to take a hand in the
matter because he cloosn't waut to leiacn
1U Influence by ailclog too many favors.
PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.
The reappearance of plouro-pnoumonla
among cattle in any part of the country
may well be viewed with alarm , It Is a
cry contagions and fatal disease , and
mo which It Is very difficult to che lt.
'ho ' recent breaking out of the dltoue In
lloway county , Missouri , has naturally
created a great deal of excitement among
ho cattlemen of the west , as Missouri is
DO of the loading live stock states of the
oat , and sends out largo shipments to
he principal stockyards every day In the
week. In March a shipment was cent
nto Illinois , and among the lot was an
, nlmal that was ailHctcd with the
Issaso. The matter was thoroughly in-
cslfgatcd , and it having been oscor
alnod beyond a doubt that the disease
rovails to some considerable extent
11 Missouri , and it being feared
, hat other cattle from the lnfoc ed district
would find tholr way Into Illinois , the
overnor of that state has issued a proc-
omatlon declaring a cattle quarantine
gainst Missouri. The Illinois law Is
cry stringent in this respect , the penal-
Ics lor violations of the cuntaglous-dls-
aics-of-cattlo act , as it is called , being
cry sovoro. The fines range from
11,000 to $10,000 for every offense on
, ho part of any person bringing cattle
ffectod with the dlsoaao , or even exposed
, o It , into the itato. Any person who
'alls to report known cases of plonro
iriBUinonla to the state votcrinarlan , or
who shall In any way resist that officer in
; bp discharge of his duty , is guilty of
misdemeanor , and liable to a fine of from
$50 to $100 for every offense , and upon a
tecocd conviction will be Imorlsoncd
Tom thirty days to six moths. The gov
rnora of other states and territories , i
; hey have not already done so , Trill ver
ikely follow the example of the Illinoii
governor and proclaim a quarantine
Missouri. Wo believe that th
; overnors of Kantas and Wyoming hav
Iroady done so. Too much precaution
can not bo exercised In this matter. I
tikes us that It is time for Govorno
Dawos to take decisive action , and estab-
Ish a quarantine similar to that de
clared by the governor o :
Illinois. The cattle intetosti
of Nebraska are too Important to be no
; loctod for another day in this respect
The last legislature passed two laws with
regard to diseased animals. ODD pro
vides that owncra of swlno or ether do
mestlc animals dying from cholera o :
other disease , shall cause the same to b
suitably buried or burned upon his prom
sea within twenty-four hours afterdoath
also that anyone baying or selling any
such animals dying from such dleeaio fo :
the pnrpDso of manufacturing into eoa ;
or lard , or for other purpose than fo
burial or burning , shall bo liable to a fin
of not leas than $25 nor more
than $100. The ether law provides
for the appointment of a skilled veteri
nary surgeon and a sanitary commission
of three persons to bo appointed at every
regular session of the legislature by the
governor. They are to give a bond to
the state and take an oath for the faith
ful discharge of their duties. The salary
of tha surgeon Is fixed at $2,500 a year ,
payable In the same manner as the sal
aries of the state officers. The veterina
rian must bo a graduate of a college of
veterinary surgery and the commission
ers must bo actually engaged in the bus
iness of stock grazing. Their duties are
to protect domestic animals from infec
tions or malignant diseases.
The first of these laws is now in effect ,
and the second goes Into effect in Juno.
Governor Dawes should at once ap-
pointjga veterinary surgeon ] and a
- sanitary commission , in compliance
with this law , and make all ether prep
arations to ward off the throalencd cattle
tlo contagion. In the selection of the
veterinarian wo should oxorclso gvoat
care , aj It is a responsible poeition and
ought to bo filled by a competent man.
The commissioner of agriculture at
Washington has been appealed to in behalf -
half of Mlisourlln regard to the scourge ,
and ho replies that ho has exhausted his
legal resources in the direction of pleuro-
pnonmonla. Ho states that the general
government is restricted to quarantining ,
but his private opinion , which Is con
curred In by good lawyer ? , la that the
law authorizes him to use the diseased-
cattle fund la stamping out the disease.
Comptroller Dunham , It is said , has
stated that he would honor the account !
for stock killed under the rules of the
department and would pay them to the
extent of the fund to the credit of the
department. This would have to be
done , In the face of Attorney General
Garland's adverse opinion , and the com
missioner dooi not feel like doing that.
He accordingly sees no way to usa gov
ernment funds for the eradiation of the
disease. The only way for Mitsonrl to
do under the circumstances Is to call a
special session of the legislature and
provide for the daughter of every head
of cattle that has been exposed. Prompt
action on the part of Missouri 10 ef the
utmost Importance not only to the stock
Interests of that state but of the entire
west. -i _ _ _
TUB last session of tno territorial legis
lature of Dakota provided for a conven
tion to bo held In Sioux Falls on Septem
ber 8th to prepare a state constitution
under which to aitc admission into the
union during the next seislon of con
gress. An organized and vigorous effort
will be made at this convention to engraft
upon the proposed constitution some very
radical changes , ono of which is to abolish
ish the legislature and substitute an
elective council of five , to be choten bi
ennially ) who shall receive and consider
propositions of law ' 'from the sovereign
people , " to whom they shall submit their
joncluoions. The people will enaat such
aws as they see fit by voting upon the
various propositions. The friends of
this movement honestly believe that
they have struck the greatest legislative
reform of the ago ; tbat It Is eminently
practicable and will entirely do away
with the present appalling legislative log
rolling , corruption and extravagance.
This scheme is , to say the least , a revo
lution In the manner of enacting legisla
tive business , but whether this novel
plan would accomplish all that Is claimed
for It la rather questionable. It strikes
us that it is putting too much power In
the hands of the few , oven If the people
do have the privilege of affirming or re
jecting the "conclusions" of the council
'ho ' larger the number of represent *
ivos the more difficult It bocomea to
lontrol them in the interest of
obbers and corporations. If the
ooplo elect representatives who do
not keep faith with tholr con
tltuonts the fault llos mainly with
ho electors. Reform should begin
ho selection of candidates , the primaries
ihonld be as carefully conducted as an
slcctlon , and conventions should not bo
packed by the machine politicians and
Ingsters. Lot the people exercise
greater care In electing their represonta-
Ivos and our loaders will then bo all tha
could bo desired.
THE EXPOSITION.
' The principal fault with most of th
chomcs for the public benefit in Omaha
is that they are not fully digested , bn
are started on a scale that does not con
template the future growth of the city
nd is scarcely adequate to the proson
demands , Omaha wants an exposition
not for ono , two or three yeais , but i
permanent , substantial Institution. Ate
to the state fair wo care not whore i
goes hereafter , and wo should not for
moment think of organizing any exposi
tion scheme that depends In any way
upon the state fair for success. First and
foremost there should bo formed an as
sociation with sufficient capital to pur
chase the present fair grounds. This
will at once give the association a perma
nent and substantial basis. There is no
doubt whatever , granting that tbo grounds
are worth $50,000 , that twenty-five
men can easily bo found who
will put In $2,000 each to purchase
them. When the exposition company
shall have soturcd absolute ownership of
the property , a permanent exposition Is
then assured. Now and , substantial
buildings will bo erected and other im
provements will bo made. The Invest
ment will bo perfectly cafe and profit
able. Merchants and manufacturers
who desire to make special exhibits of
an elaborate character , will , of course ,
bo more Inclined to put up their own
buildings when they know that the ex
position is something more than a tem
porary show. Furthermore , their build
ings will bo of a neat and attractive
character , adding greatly to the general
Appearance of the grounds.
There are quite a number of our busi
ness menespecially the owners of hotels ,
who feel reluctant about donating any
money to a district fair , but who are anx
ious to Invest liberally in a permanent ex-
tion. It is self-evident that such an ex-
poslpoaltlon company would bo able to so
cura contributions on a largo scale from
every class of merchants and mannfaotnr-
ersand ether business menupon the assur
ance that the money Is to be invested in
substantial and permanent improvements
and in special inducements for exhibi
tors from all parts of the country.
There la also another feature , In this
connection , that is worthy of careful con
sideration , and that is an Inter-state fat-
stock show. Omaha is in the center of
the great stock-raising country. She has
extensive stock yards , packing houses
and slaughter houses. The owners of
these establishments would naturally
take a great Intexces In this feature
of the exposition , and would ren
der material assistance In many ways.
Exhibitors could bo easily Induced tc
como here from all parts of Nebraska
and from Iowa , Illinois , Missouri , Kan
sas and the territories.
Another attractive feature of the expo
sition would bo a mineral display , em
bracing collections from the numerous
mining regions of the west. Wo have
the largest smelting works in the world In
Omaha , and the company's many connec
tions In the western mining camps would
enable It to make this mineral display
very complete. We have no doubt that
the smelting works company would not
only gladly do this , but would In other
ways assist and oncoursgo the enterprise.
Omaha must have a first-class exposi
tion something that Is worth advertis
ing In order to attract people from
abroad , or It must have nothing.
A district fair will not satisfy
our people. There are a dozen district
fairs In Nebraska already , and they really
amount to nothing beyond a mere local
display. Bo It would be with a district
fair In Omaha. Oar exposition should
not be confined to any local limits , While
we can at any time equal the state fair
exhibit * , we should not rest content with
that. Oar aim should be to excel In every
respect anything tlut has over been done
by the state fair , and such a result can
easily be accomplished If the proper effort
Is made. Our exposition should not bo
limited to a week , bnt should continue
for three weeks or a month.
We would suggest to the managers of
the proposed exposition to farther digest
their scheme and more fully
develop It. It would bo well for
them to call a meeting of
business men , and take Into fall consider
ation all the advantages and retourcei
which we possess for making an inter
state exposition a grand annual success.
Wo are anxious to help along such an
enterprise in every way within oar
power , and will give It all the advertising
neoesiary , free of charge. We want to
see an exposition that Omaha can be
proud of , and which will bring business
men hero from all parts of the country ,
not only as visitors but ai investors.
THE establishment of a Hansom cab
line in this city by Mr. James Stcphon-
on is a now departure which will corn-
end Itself to our citizens. It Is a
metropolitan feature and a great public
mivenlcnco. It Is something that
mahft has long needed , and now that
ho streets are paved Mr. Stephenson
can afford to make the prtco of transpor
ation to any part of the city the same as
s charged In the larger cities. This ho
as already decided to do , and wo von1
ore to say that his enterprise will bo
well rewarded ,

The Grand Island Times tenders its compliments
plimonts to the forthcoming exposition in the
following : "Omaha is constantly adding
metropolitan features , nnd soon will be thi
equal of any ot the old cities in the way o :
convenience. Lately Pattt passed them
twice for want of a room of sufficient capac
ity to make it pay for an entertainment ,
nnd when Moody was there thousadds wore

tion building with capacity enough to BO a' '

JACK KENJ.
The liast of a Notorious Gang His
Arrest fur Counterfeiting and
Supposed Complicity
With Miles Ogle.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
"They have got a good ono , " said Da-
tectivo Larry Hazen yesterday , referring
to the arrojt of Jack Rouo , the last ono
of the notorious Reno gang , which fif
teen years ago terrorized the whole of
southern Indiana , and particularly the
- people in the vicinity of Seymour.
"I know the whole crowd , and have
arrested Jack more than once , " con-
tinned the detective. "I know nothing
, about the present case against him ,
except that 1 have my theory. .For
several years past he has been very
quiet , and it was generally supposed that
ho had given up stealing , and was living
honestly at his homo near Seymour. I
understand that ho was arrested last
.
Tuesday at his homo and taken to Indian
apolis on the charco of dealing In coun
, terfeit money bills on the Third Na
tional bank of this city. Ho waivjd ex
amination and was placed under $5,000
bonds , and at his urgent request was
sent to the Orawfordsvlllo jail , as ho
claimed the jail at Indianapolis was badly
kept. lie will not be tried until James
Hardesty , who was arrested for the
eamo offensa and Is now sick in the hos
pital , gets well. Hardesty Is a green
'country Jake , ' and ho claims Reno got
him to pass the queer money , but the
latter denies this , and tays ho was never
in Indianapolis with the other man. "
"I do not know what sort of a case
they have against Reno , but ho would
probably occupy the position of a dealer
in the staff if he would enter the 'coney'
business at all. Ho is too big a man to
shove the queer , and I know that he
can't make It. He was probably in part
nership with the notorious Miles Ogle ,
who only a couple of months ago was
sent to the Illinois state's prison for
counterfeiting. I will explain to you the
connection they have had with each
other. Fifteen years ago , when tbo
Reno gang , composed of four brotbors ,
three of whom wore lynched in the New
Albany jail . "by the vigilance commit
tee , and several other noted
and desperate criminals , were crack *
in . . safes and accomplishing the
most daring express robberies , Miles
Ogle , then regarded air a clever safe ,
worker , waa well knowW among them ,
and was tbo friend of Frank Reno , the
eldest of the Reno family , and the
acknowledged leader of the ging. There
were In the Rene family six children ,
namely , Frank , John , Simon , Laura ,
Ollnt and Hill. These were all crooked
except Ollnt and the girl. The latter , I
believe , married a well known engineer
on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad.
Clint Is still living on the farm on the
ontsklrU of Boymonr , In Jackson county ,
Ind. , where the whole family were
raUod.
"In September , 18GG , tbo Adams Er-
prets company was boarded by two
masked men and robbed of $10,000.
The robbers got on the front platform of
the car , next to the tender , at Seymour ,
and while the train was getting under
headway and not a mile from tbat place ,
they awung Into the car from the sides.
The messenger wa surprised and over
powered and it took not a moment to
rlfla the local safe. A through safe ,
which they could not open , was rolled
out of the car onto the ground. The
bell cord was then pulled , and is the
train slackened the robbers jumped
to the ctronnd. 'All right , ' waa
cried to Iho ocgluoer , and the train sped
ahead a mile or moro before the robbery
was discovered. The through safe was
found by an agent of the company where
't had fallen , the robbers being unable ,
n the short time that was allowed , to got
way with It. Not long after I , assisted
iy John Egau , arrested Jack and Sim
leno and Frank Sparks on the charge
f having done the job. Jack Reno fur-
ishod $16,000 bonds , and wai released ,
omo time after his bond was reduced to
5,000 , but the case never came to trial ,
compromise probably having been ef-
'ected ' by a return of a part of the
money.
"About this t'mo the people wore so
wrought up over the action of the gang
1 bat the country was getting too hot for
hem. Vigilant committees wcro being
irganlzcd , and _ Jack Reno , realizing the
Into of affairs that was coming to pass ,
determined to go west. Ho left Jackson
county and went to Missouri , returning
very lluih with money. Ho put up al
ouo of the best hotels in Indlanapolli
with some fast woman whom ho called
his wlfo , and was living in the most ox-
'ravagant style until five weeks after the
obbory of the safe of the treasurer cl
Davlcs county , at GallaUn , Mo , , when
ho waa arrested for complicity In the
* ob. Ho was drnegod from his life o
nxnry and taken back to Missouri , whcro
after running great risks of being Ijnchcc
'for the robbery had about bankruptoc
ho county ) , ho pleaded guilty , having
been confronted by an accomplice , whc
liad squealed. This course was taken In
liopo of receiving a light sentence , bu
he judge first doomed him to forty years
n tbo Jclloreon City penitentiary , bu
tftorward reduced the eontonco to twont ]
yearn. After serving seven years cil'orti
wore made to have the sentence com
muted , and B , Gralz Brown , thru govcr
nor of Missouri , reduced the number o
years to ten. "
"But what about the gang1 ?
"Reno's , brothers undertook to roscno
him on the way to the 'pen , ' bnt wen
nnsnccotsfnl. Considering tbat ho wa
beyond their roach , they returned ti
Jackson county , Ind. , and resumed thol
depredations. To such an extent hue
their robberies and depredations been
carried on that a strong vigilance com
mlttoe had been thoroughly organized
About this time Frank Reno and a member
bor of the gang named Johnson were ex
trndltod from Canada on the charge o
bolng Implicated In a gigantic express rob
beryon the Indianapolis and Jefferson
vllle railroad , a tew miles from Scy
mour , iu which money and bonds tc
the value cf $200.000 were secured
The two above numed were In th
Now Albany ( Ind , ) jill , as were Simoi
and Bill Reno. The people were so out
raged over the last robbery , which wat
iho cap sheaf for a series of four , tha
one night , I think It was In 1809 or 1870
o mob broke Into the jail and lynchec
the entire quartet. Thij , howot'or , wa
anly part of the work that the vigilante
had laid out for themselves and within a
very short time eleven desperate men
who bad been Identified with the gan
were strung up. This efftclivo worl
broke up ono of the mobt dangerou
gangs of criminals that was over bandei
together , and reclaimed Jackson count ;
from outlaws who had terrorized all law
abiding and peaceable citizens.
"But how did Ogle escape ? '
"Lat mo toll yon. I understand tha
his name was on the blacklist , but he OB
caped lynching by jumping out of th
second story of the Central hotel In Seymour
mour and lleolng on horseback. Som
time afterward ho was sentenced to serv
ton years in the Allegheny Olty ponl
tont'ary ' , from where he was releosec
only eight months ago. During his confinement
finoment it seems that ho turned his al
tention to making plates , and ho tnrne
out a most clover and dangerous coun
terfelter. "
"How did ho and Reno como together
gethor ? "
"Reno was released from the Jefferso
City penitentiary about three years ago
and on the day that he was released I ar
rested him on the old charge of the express
press robbery and brought him east
Several witnesses in the case had die
and the case never como to trial. Durln
his imprisonment his three brothers ha
been hung and his father and mother ha
died , and his spirit seemed to be broken
Upon his promises to load a reformo
lifo the ofiicials of the express compan
resolved not to press the :
case against him , and ho BO
tied down In Seymour , Ind. , to llv
a quiet and honest lifo. Ho married th
widow of Frank Rene , his brother , am
then went to raising watermelons for
living , renting a small farm for the pur
pose. Ho has boon under snrvelllanc
all the time , and beyond getting drun
and posing in the attitude of a bully , h
has been prolly respectable. I remen
her that when I brought him east thrc
years ago he asked wbero Ogle waa ,
"Now , If you can add two and two
yon can readily BOO on what I base m
opinion. Two months ago Ogle was ar
rested In Memphis , Tenn , , and bein
brought to this city turned over h :
plates , which bad been planted near th
stock yard , along the line of the Clncin

lion. Lelnnd Stanford , president of
ho Central Pacific railroad and United
Hates senator from California , waa in
) maha eovernl hours yesterday , being on
route homo to San Francisco from Wash
ngton and Now York. Ho loft the later -
or place last Friday evening in his
pedal oar , "Stanford , " accompanied by
Mrs. Stanford , Miss Lathrop , n nloco ,
and his private secretary , Mr , n. 0.
Sfath. They arrived here at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning , and the car with its
occapanta was eldo-trackod at the Union
Pacific depot , where they remained nntll
3:15 : last night , and then continued on
iheir journey to the Golden Gate. Dur
ing the afternoon the entire party took a
drlvo through the city. After returning
to tholr car a ropoitor for TUB BEE was
kindly received by the distinguished Ual-
Ifornlan and granted a abort but Tory
pleasant Interview. The senator , by
reason of his prominent position as a
railroad man , travels In royal style , his
car being n perfect palace on whcols , fin
ished , furnished and fitted up In the most
luxurious and elegant drawing-room
Fashion. Ho was found to bo an ex
tremely pleasant spoken , plainly attlrod ,
courteous gentleman , and expressed his
gladness to bo called on by a reporter.
Mrs. Stanford was a'so ' present during
the Interview and occasionally had a word
or two to iay. She Is a largo woman ,
not hondsomo by any means , but bright
and possessed of the most graceful man
nerisms .
The senator loft Washington about
four weeks ago , since which time ho has
boon In Now York City , and while there
was an almost dally visitor to the sick
room of Oen. Grant. Being asked his
opinion cf the Gonoral's present
condition Mr. Stanford said that
when ho loft htm last
Thursday night , his condition was then
more hopeful than at any time during his
illness. Ho was more vigorous in body
and mind , and scorned in a fair way with
proper treatment to got troll. Senator
Stanford was unable to say whether Gen
eral Geant would coma to California or
not as there was a great deal of opposi
tion to his taking such a long trip , prin
cipally for the reason that It was thought
ho could not stand it , but if he could
possibly make the journey everything
would bo done to induce htm to como.
The care of General Grant Is attributed
by So ator Stanford 10 the use of clover
tea which ho has been taking for the past
three or fourwpekf ) . Among the numer
ous letters received by Mrs. Grant sug
gesting various remedies , clover tea was
urged by the majority of writew , and
this so Influenced her that she dully in
sisted on giving it a trial at mice. The
doctors said they had no objections , al
though they had no faith In it whatever.
However , they gave it a trial of ono
weak or ton days , and th a
dropped It. Mrs. Grant and the
family , however , continued to give
it to the general without the knowledge of
the doctors and have kop tit up over since ,
tils improvement was noticeable from
the day ho began to take it. Son. Stan
ford had a friend named Bishop , who
some years sgo had cancer break out In
three differ on t places on his face and
neck. The best physicians in the country
treated him but failed' to do him any
good. Finally an old doctor of Jersey
City remembered clover tea as a purifier
of the blood , and possible remedy for
cancerous diseases. Bishop tried It and
soon became a cured man. Stanford
says that Gen. Grant told him that at
three different times ho would have died
had not the doctors been present to re
vive him with stimuloats. Stanford him
self was present at ono time when Grant
was unconscious for live minutes , and at
another tlsno when ho nearly strangled to
death. "Ho certainly has had nome
very close calls , " said Senator Stanford.
Passing the conversation about General -
oral Grant and In answer to the report
er's query Senator Stanford asserted that
ho.folt confidence in the wisdom of Presi
dent Cleveland to give the country a safe
administration. "I think , " continued
the speaker , that Cleveland's cabinet is
the beat ho could have organized. Tak
ing two men from New York has created
Bomo advcreso fooling among democrats
in otb or states , but it Is an exceptionally
essential thing to have the commercial
backing of New York City and in the
appointment of Whitney , as secretary of
the navy , a safa , reliable man , this la as
sured. " In a general way civil service
reform was referred to and the senator
thought that aside from heads of depart
ments very tow changes will bo made in
any of the positions tbat are now filled
by competent men. ' 'It Is In tbat like
railroading. When wo got a trustworthy
man , who attends to his business prompt
ly and well , there Is no possible oxcuio
for turning him out , and
taking injone who Is wholly Inexperinced , '
Touching upon the present business out
look the senator said tbat ho could easily
obiorva that in New York Olty , except
on Wall street , trade la picking up very
lively and the basinets of the country
seems to be enjoying a healthy increase.
The European trouble * I am sure will be
settled without a war between England
and Russia. On sensational rumors of
war the stock market has baen kept up ,
but them Is certainly nothing agitating
the English nation sufficiently to make
her fight or want to fight.
Referring to Omaha , the senator
thought that It had made a wonderful
growth within the past five years , and
Mrs. Stanford expresicd special gratifica.
tiou with tbo school system of the city.
She declared poiitlvely that Omaha's
high school building was finer than any
thing of tha kind in the state of Cali
fornia. Wflllo talking of suhool matters ,
the senator was interrogated for Informa
tion relative to the college ho proposes to
found and endow near San Francisco ,
but he preferred to say nothing about
that now for the reason that ho has not
as yet got all of his plans matured.
The Police Court Record ,
Jerome Pentzel , clerk of the police
court , Is preparing for submission to the
jlty council a record of the criminal
buslneis of tbat tribunal dur-
ngtho four years of Beneke'a
enn of office. This report will
ihow all the fines collected during
; hat period , and also the
disposition of the radons mollies with
respect to the several funds.
For instance , the fines collected under
the city ordinances will bo credited to
the school fund , the coils to the general
fund of the city.
The fines collected under the slate lava
will bo credited to the school fundwhile
the costs will go to the county fund.
The report Is nearly ready for submis
sion , and will bo a document both vol
uminous and interesting.
Judge Stonberg's accounts , of course ,
will bo kept entirely aspirate , a now set
of books being opened with the now po
lice court administration.

POLIOE OUUBT ,
, Iho Morning Business Effect
Dock Bcor ,
The sombre effects of bock boor were
plainly observable In the police court
yesterday morning. The dress circle which
reflects the light of Judge Stonborg'o
beaming countenance was thronged with
victims most of whom attributed their
journey thither to a .too faithful observance -
anco of the ga-lorlous rites of the boc
divinity.
For Instance , there wcro W. J. Fran *
cos and E. J. Frances , two very nice
young mortals In whoso souls there are
nothing ( ordinarily ) but the most kindly
feelings toward ono another. But bock
beer had stopped In between them and
destroyed for the uouco their amiable re
lations.
They had fallen to fighting , and had
been arrested while posing In the most
dreadful pugilistic attitudes. Five and
cost apleco clinched the moral of "leave
bock beer alono. "
So , too , John Stern , Dennis Madden.
Pat McGee , D. Hiokoy , Charles Tower , .
Pat Bolan , James White and John D.
Hood had also boon imbibing too freely
of the frothy May-day beverage. They
wore each fined § 5 and costs , In
default of which they were
ushered Into the mansion on the hill ,
presided over by Joe Miller , there to
servo out various terms of imprisonment.
Jul'a ' Wade It seems , had heroine too
exuberant on Saturday afternoon and
had celebrated the feitivitifiH tf the oc
casion by throwing a bucket of water .i
over a neighboring female. She was released - / /
leased , as the oilcnco was rather too
trlval to admit of prosecution.
Molllo Burns and Lena Williams , two
unsivory females resident In a gilded
palace , had boon arrested for fighting
while In a semi Intoxicated condition.
They were tried , found guilty , and sen
tenced to pay a fine of $3 and costs.
They came to time and wore roloasbd.
Off for Jjtncnln.
The Omaha delegation of Odd Fellows
who participated in the celebration of the
sixty-sixth anniversary of the establish
ment of the order in America , which took
place in Lincoln to-day , assembled in the
local ball of the order at 7 a. m. yes
terday , and left on the early morning
B. & M. train for the Capital city.
There were fully about fifty men In line ,
including a full representation of the
Mlllard Uniformed Degree , I. O. O. F. ,
besides members of the other lodges in thin
city. The procession was headed by the
U. P. band , which discoursed inspiring
music along the line of march. The del
egation returned lost evening , on the
special excursion train.
