The Nebraska Christian Itlroccifca
denominational weekly published In
Omaha , in is last issue contained the
following purn graph.
Facts are coming to light nnd testimony
being taken which shows a deep laid scheme
on the pait of the whisky forces to Illegally
vote about five thousand men In Omnhn , and
In otlcr cities to v.ork the unmo scheme to
conut us out November 4. Tlio liquor cle
ment hnvo entire control of some wards , but
( hero Is dnnuer nhciut for thorn If tbey go
fonvnnl vltlt their present plan.
When a minister of the gospel resorts
to such barefaced fabrication and seeks
to bolster up a so-called moral move-
men thy printing a tissue of falsehoods
to fire the hearts nf his credulous follow
ers , ho shows himself utterly unworthy
of the numo of Christian.
Will tlio Chriftian Advocate kindly in-
lonn the public what facts have come to
light that justify such a grave charge ?
AV"hcro is the testimony being taken
which will hear out even the
suspicion of a deep laid schcmo
to Illegally vote live thousand
or any other number of persons who are
not entitled to vote ?
Wo venture to suggest that the secular
press Is fully as vigilant and enterpris
ing1 as the religious press , but up to this
time no paper in Omaha except the
ChnkliunAfltocnte hi s hoard of any facts
justifying even a suspicion , and nobody in
or out of nny newspaper oflico has licard
of any such testimony being taken.
Downright lying nnd slander may bo
considered as justifiable from the pe
culiar standpoint of the C/ti'i.slidii / Ailco-
cute , but they are sadly at variance with
the principles of which Chrifrtlanity
boasts.
If the startling statements made are
true , the Advocate has scooped tlio daily
prints and will probably bo willing to
slvo further details. If such testimony
is being taken it is certainly done in
the legal way , before a magistrate or a
notary. If not , the testimony will bo of
no value.
The trouble with our highly moral
contemporary is that it scVs behind
every bush a nun boodlcr and no wild
rumor is incredible so long ay it rcllects
upon the opponents of prohibition.

There may bo something more than
ordinarily suggestive In the fact that
Secretary of War Procter , in company
with General Scholicld , is to make a trip
along the lake frontier to inspect Its de
fenses. In view of the irritating condi
tions growing out of the Cehring sea
controversy , the withdrawal of tlio priv
ilege of carrying bonded American mer
chandise from Canadian railroads , and
other matters which arc not cal
culated to make more friendly
the relations between the United
States and Canada , it is not more diili-
cult to llml a serious moaning in this in
spection of lake defenses than it was for
a well known ox-govcrnorof Ohio to con
strue a miucjsl from the war department
for a statement of the strength of tlio
militia of that stale , and of how long it
would tulco to mobilize them for service ,
as evidence that the government was at
that tiino apprehending the necessity of
an invasion of Canada.
But there is probably nothing moro to
this viult'thnn a desire of the secretary
of war to obtain by personal inspection a
knowledge of the condition of the lake
defenses , and the desire is commendable ,
lint as the Now York Sun observes , the
journey ought to he n bhort one , for
there is little to inspect that is worthy
of the immo of defenses. It appears
that thcro Is a limit established by
treaty upon the naval force this govern
ment can put upon the lakes , but there
is no restriction regarding land defenses.
Congress lias been frequently notified of
the inadequacy of those defenses , par
ticularly at points which would bo
vital in ease of hostilities , hut no atten
tion has boon paid'to It. The feeling of
security which prompted this indiU'or-
oncomay still bo warranted. There maybe
bo no real danger In the complications
which are subjects of controversy be
tween the United Stales and Great Brit-
lain , nut reasonable precautions , when
they can ha taken without very great
expenditure , are certainly wise , and
when our vast lake interests , far more
valuable than our ocean coastwise trade ,
are considered , it is not to bo doubted
that a moderate outlay for defensive
works to command the approaches to
Lake Ontario , protect Lake Clmmplnln
and to nrovont an enemy's licet from
passing up Lake Huron would bo ap
proved by the country. Congress will
doubtless have its attention called to
this matter In the next report of the sec
retary of war , if not sooner.
w -run IXTKHKST \aiucuLTum. \ .
The house of representatives will'dur-
ing the ensuing week 'give its attention
most largely to measures moro or less
directly affecting the interests of agri
culture. It is time the conclusion to do
this was reached , for although it is duo
to the committee on agriculture to say
that it appears to have been duly dili
gent in considering proposed legislation
deemed to bo necessary both for the wel
fare of the agricultural interest and for
the general good , the house has not
shown n proper concern for the matter. It
may ho that the majority are not to beheld
hold responsible for this , but at any rate
the important subjects of legislation
now to bo passed upon have not received
the attention , except from the commit
tees on agriculture , that they merit.
The consequence is that they will now
bo somewhat hastily disposed of , Bomoof
thorn , if not nil , certainly not receiving
the careful scrutiny and discus
sion which they should get , For
example , the senate bill to as
sist agricultural colleges , the first taken
up of the measures arranged to
ho cojisldored , was passed after a debate
of two hours. To nil intents and pur
poses the report of the committee was
approved in advance , the only fruit of
the discussion being an amendment pro
scribing how the appropriation should
ho applied. Of course this is practically
committee Ipgislation , of which there
has boon a great deal at the present sos-
rtion , The next measure , the bill pro
viding for the Inspection of moats for
exportation , on which only two horn-ado-
hate was nllowd , had received more atten
tion. Its discufs'on In the senate and in the
press , nnd the support that has boon
given It by the secretary of agriculture ,
cannot have failed to famlflarlzo all
members of the house with its general
characternnd Importance. It is legis
lation obviously demanded in the Inter
est of our foreign trade in meats.
Two other measures are in the pro
gramme , one being the bill donning lard
nnd requiring the compound article
bo branded , nnd the other the measure
ngalnst option dealing in food
products. On these n wider lati
tude of discussion is allowed , nnd
at to the llrst there will bo very vigor
ous opposition , with the probabilities
not wholly favorable to Its passage. In
deed , the chances would seem to bo rnther
against its passing , slnco the southern
representatives nro understood to bo
practically solid in opposition and a num
ber of northern republicans are known
not to favor It. With regard to the
anti-option bill , which comes last among
the measures to bo immediately con
sidered which have a distinctive re
lation to the agricultural interests , It is
apprehended that it will not come to a
Until vote. It docs not disparage the
valuoof the other measures to say that
this bill is regarded by the producers of
the country very generally as of the
greatest importance to their interests.
It has been commended widely by farm
ers' convention ! ' , and so far iis wo are
uv.ro there has boon no expression of
pro Jucors nny where against it. This fact
should impress upon tlio majority in
congress the expediency of passing the
bill , unless it shall appear that umlertho
changed conditions , with alllhoproducts
of agriculture rising steadily in price ,
the farmers feel less concern regarding
legislation of this kind.
THE \roiu.irs \ FAIII ix Mint , .
It is a fact to bo admitted with regret
that there is very little prospect of a
world's fair to commemorate the dis
covery of America on anything like the
scale originally contemplated. Thcro is
even boino reason to doubt whether there
will bo an exposition international in
character , There will undoubtedly bo a
fair , participated in by the national
government and the slates t nnd
probably by a few foreign gov
ernments , but it Is hardly pos
sible now that it can reach
any such proportions as It was Intended
to have. The delay in the preparations
duo to the con 11 let between hellish in
terests in Chicago over a site , and the
impression that lias generally obtained
that the local directors are chlolly actu
ated by a desire to place the whole
countiy under tribute for the sole benefit
of Chicago , hnvo nearly destroyed pub
lic interest in the enterprise. Almost
from the day that city was selected for
the Columbian exposition there has
been mnuifcalcd there no patriotic
concern for the success of the undertaking
ing- , and it has appeared to bo regarded
simply as a great monoy-inaking affair
for the benefit of that city. This was
what was feared of New York , and accounted
(
counted In a largo measure for the oppo
sition to that city , so that its uppoarnnco
in Chicago is doubly disappointing' . The
popular interest that has been lost in
consequence it will bo very dilllcult to
rostoro.
The present situatioa of n flairs Is so
serious a sal mo-it to warrant the appre
hension that the fulrwill bo 'a complete
failure. The question of a site continues
'
ues , apparently , the chief source of
trouble , but it is .stated that the finances
of the fair committee is also a matter of
absorbing concern , for the reason that a
considerable number of the thousands
who subscribed to the fund of five
million dollars which It was necessary
to pledge will not pay their sub5crip-
tions. It is by no means carlaln ,
either , that the proposed amendment
to the constitution of the state author
izing the city to bond Itself
for five million dollars will bo adopted.
Altogether , therefore , the outlook is
anything but promising' . Jloanwhilo
there is no indication of any foreign in
terest in the enterprise , but on the con
trary such expression as has como from
abroad is discouraging to any expecta
tion that Kuropcnn countries will bo
largely represented.
Chicago has her honor and her pres
tige at stake in this matter , and if she
allows the undertaking to fail , or to fall
far short of what It was Intended to ho
and hyr people promised it fchould be ,
stio will bring a blot upon her fume that
will never bo effaced.
CIMA7) ISLAND'S A'fTItACTlOX.
On September 1 Grand Island opens to
the world her magnificent attraction , a
beet sugar palace. The scheme is a
novel one , the design is new , and the en
terprise and energy behind it is charac
teristic alone of tlio pusli of ono of the
live and progressive cities of Nebraska.
Tlio idea of the palace was suggested by
the fact that boot sugar-works , the larg
est in the United States , have been es
tablished at Grand Island , and the ma
chinery will bo in motion this fall.
The annual Grand Army of the
Republic- reunion meets in Grand
Island the first of September ,
and with the sugar palace , a panorama
of the battle of Gettysburg and the
Interesting programme of the old vet
erans , there will bo no lack of interest.
Apart from the exhibits of sugar there
Is to bo inside the palace a cereal ex
hibit which will contain specimens iof
all kinds of agricultural products grown
in the wost. A mintaturo beet sugar
factory which will bo in operation dur
ing the exhibit , will bo another feature
of general interest , ns it will give nil
visitors a clear idea of how sugar is
manufactured.
There are other attractions which
Grand Island's enterprise has furnished ,
and all who attend the reunion will bo
amused , refreshed and instructed. .

The county commissioners have a duty
to. pnrform with regard to all olllccrs
and they cannot shirk it on account of
personal friendship or political nflllia-
tion , As managers and supervisors of
the affairs of the county they must see
to it that every ofllcor shall regularly
account for the foes collected by him
nnd turn over to the county treasurer
the surplus above hit ) salary and allow
ances at leant once each year. As a mat
ter of fact the law requires those settle
ments to be mtulo every six months and
the law bhould bo enforced until it is re
pealed or modified.
No exception is made by the law In
favor of any olllctal , hence no exception
can bo made irt favor of the recorder of
deeds. "Whotl attention was called to
tlio neglect of that ofllcoito pay over
the surplus of Ills' foes for 18S9 , nt the
beginning of the present fiscal year ,
six months aCton- the settlement should
have been made , assurance was given
that the deficit would bo made
peed , and'soon thereafter THE
IJlJB , on . the representation of
ono of tho. county commissioners ,
announced that tlio money had. actually
been paid over. But this report lias
been contradicted by the county treas
urer. The recorder of deeds still per
sists in withholding the funds duo the
county under the plea that ho is not
obliged to settle until the end of his
term.
The commissioners have the advice of
two succeeding county attorneys that the
law does not boar any such construction.
Their manifest duty under the premises
is to make a formal demand for the
money duo the county from the recorder ,
and if ho falls to comply with this order ,
to direct the county attorney to Institute
proceedings for its recovery.
TIIK folly of cheap pavements will soon
make itself felt on the taxpayers of the
city. Under the present charter the cost
of nil repairs of pavements must bo paid
bylhocityat large. The injustice of this
provision Is apparent. It has been a
premium on cheap , temporary pave
ment ? , It enables property owners of a
district to select poor material , nnd thus
impose on the city the cost of constant
repairs in after years. In this way en
terprising property owners who
pave with durable material are
compelled . to bear a share
of their impecunious neighbors. Last
year the city paid out nearly twelve
thousand dollars for pavement repairs ,
and the total this year is likely to
double that of 188 ! ) . The five-year guar
antee on all the main streets paved with
asphalt has expired , and nil patching
and repairing is now being charged up
to the city. Tlio miles of rotting wood
pavements already demand attention.
Tlio burden of repairs will in a few years'
amount to a vast stun. It is important
therefore that measures bo taken with
a view to amending the charter at the
next legislature to moot this emergency.
A chnng-o is demanded that will confine
the cost of repairs and ropaving to the
districts in which they are made. This
is the most equitable way of meeting tlio
cost. If every paving district is com
pelled to bear its legitimate burden the
penny wise and pound foolish policy of
selecting cheap material will bo brought
homo to the purses of the property
owners , and \vo will soon have an cud to
patched and decaying1 pavements.
TIIK threatened disruption of the
local fire insurance trust is an extra
hazardous risk , in view of the fact that
the companies clean up half a million
a year in the state.

LINCOLN' , Neb. , August 20. [ Special to
TUB DEE. ] A peculiar affair occurred on O
street , between First anil Second streets , lnst
evening , the report of which would not bo be
lieved were It not for the veracity of the
spectators. At U o'clock tin old man wns
seen driving along tlmt thoroughfare , when
suddenly ho was slopped by two fellows who
suddenly Jumped from ambush and dragged
the old man from his carriage. They then
Got into the buggy and laying lash to the
horse drove off , turning south on Second
street. The man , who was evidently robbed
of his horse nnd vehicle , gave chase and
passed Bruco's store nt Second and F streets
shouting that ho had been robbed. Both the
thieves and their pursuer disappeared In Iho
darkness , imd the police were apprised by
telephone of the affair. Marshal Mcllck nnd
Captain Cnrdc-r drove out to Investigate and
later wcro reinforced by Deputy Sheriff. !
Iloagland mid McRirhmd. The penitentiary
nnd asylum roads wcro scoured for several
miles , but no trace of cither the Old man or

that the thieves might have stopped long
enough to have murdered the old man who

Last evening and today Coroner Holyoke
has been holding an inquest over the bodies
of William Dinncen and Columbus Mnggurd ,
the victims of the explosion nt the new frus
works on Monday evening. William Lnwiur ,
superintendent of the gas works , was the
first witness called. Ho admitted tlmt Phi-
neon was promoted from tlio position of
laborer to that of engineer simply because ho
was u bandy man nnd would do the work for
SI.75 per day. Lau-lcr said that ho himself
had lusted the boiler with a hammer and
thought it to bo all right. About Jifty
minutes before tlio explosion ho ordered Din-
necn to fill the boiler with cold water. Dhi-
neen'complied with tlio order at (1:10 ( : , when
the explosion occurred. The boiler was a
second hand ono mm was of llio pattern generally -
orally used in openUing threshing machines.
Hoth Mrs. Dliiiieon and a brother of Iho
deceased named J. R Diimcon testiliod Unit
they never know of the deceased attempting

noon slio carried her husband's dinner tohim ,
At that tiino ho told her that the boiler had
on all tlio steam it would stand. Sbe looked
at the gaugoimd saw thitt it indicated 100 ibs.
Her husbuud at that time explained to her

stood without covering for six months at
Seventh and N streets before being put into
use by the gas ciimpany. lie did not con
sider Dmiicen competent to run a boiler.
Mr. Thomas Trumbull , a practical boilermaker -
maker , testified that lie examined the frag
ments of the boiler after the explosion and
found from thorn that the boiler had been in
very bad condition previous tj ) the explosion ,
After hearing their evidence the Jury wns
t'dcen to the sccno of tlio accident.
After hearing the testimony Mrs. Dinncen
announced her iiitciilion of suing the gas
company for damages.
Alter hearing the foregoing testimony the
jury brought la the usuul verdict , blaming
nobody but the dead ine.ii. Considerable stir-
prize imd Indignation was expressed over the
verdict.
r.ioiiT DIVOIICI : CASES ix A WEEK.
The number of applications for divorces hi
the district court of Lancaster county is
really astonishing. Within the past week
nlono there has been no less than eight up-
plications , averaging over one u day. This
exceeds tlio number of marriage licenses
issued during the snme period , and a continu
ation of such a record will ultimately result in
the entire abolition of the married state. The
latest applicant is Mrs. Agnes Williams , who
wants to bo free from all claims that her
husband , who bears tlio reduplicate name of
William Williams , may have upon her. Mrs.
Williams says that she has been married to
him for three years , and , like C.'csar's wife ,
hits been above reproach. Tlmt he , after
being married only ten mouths and just after
his child was born , commenced paying tin-
holy attentions to ono Mnmio Kodinaii in Vir
ginia. This caused a separation of the two
and Mrs. AVllllams caino to Lincoln to live ,
Her taste of freedom bus proved so sweet
that bho wishes it continued indetinitely and
slio nsks for a dissolution of the marriage
ties.

"What does nil this stuff from Hitchcock's

there Is in trying to make a profound sensa
tion out of comparatively nothing. True , the
fund for victuals , clothes nnd coal will bo
used up before the legislature can malto pro
visions for the deficiency , but there are nny
number of merchants In Nebraska ,
and even in Hastings alone , willing
to trust the stnto for the same until an appro-
piiutlon is made , and would be only too glad
to get the privilege. Thcro will be plenty of
money to pay the wages of the employes ut
the institution , and the linnatus will not srf-
fer from lack of attendance. Tlio appropria
tion for victuals , etc. , was mndo on tlio rec-
ommcmlatlon of the supi.Tinteiidcnt of the In
stitution , who thought that thcro would bo
no morcj than one hundred in

of course moro food and clothes were neces

Prohibition and the Bible.

ICato Field fires the following shrapnel shot
Into Dr. D. C. Kelly's ranks : "What appalls
mo ii\ all this ineffable business is that these
reformed reformers call themselves Chris
tians , when Christ's first miracle turned water
Into wine , and his last Cupper actually con
secrated wine as his blood. Tlio posilion of
the prohibitionist Is , from the Christian point
of view , downright blasphemy. "
Wo rise to call Kuto to ordor. Sno don't
seem to have "caught on" at nil. So far us
the bible is coneorneJ you can neither sustain
nor condemn prohibition with It. It cuts no
possible figure in the ouso. If Kate could
bring her perceptions to bonr on the point
that the wliolo prohibltioa propagnmli h car
