Lixcot.x , Nob. , May 0. [ Special to TIIK
line. ] The third day of the Shccdy murder
trlnl hns passed and no Jury yet. The monotony
ony of the proceedings had the effect of thin
ning the audience , but this nftcrnoan there
VIM n sprinkling of ladles among the specta
tors for the first tlmo. Mrs. Shccdy was ac
companied by her two sisters , sitting between
them as on previous days , nnd in entering
nnd leaving the court room she loaned upon
the arm of her uncle , J. W. BlggorstalT ,
of Boise City. Idaho , who hns come on to give
Her the benefit of his wealth juid friendship.
The fair prisoner's composure , which hus
been the subject of so much remark , was dis
turbed this morning. Her feelings mastered
her will mid several times she applied a hand
kerchief to her eyes to wlpo away the silent
tears. She made no nudlhlo demonstration ,
nnd her demeanor otherwise was so quiet and
demure ns to disarm criticism nnd comment.
After several gentlemen had failed
to pass llio gauntlet of ques
tions by the opposing attorno.vs
this morning the Jury box was Illled for the
llrst tlmo by the selection of S. A. Grover , u
Bnnnott barber , us the twelfth man. Per
emptory challenging being then in order the
pro'ocutlon claimed the right to make twelve
challenges. The court overruled the motion
nnd allowed the state six challenges and each
of the two defendants sixteen.
Juror Ring was excused Ijy the defense nnd
Jnmoi Hurdman wa ? selected to tnko his
place. Juror Doyle gave way to John Klfiln ,
nnd later In the day Mr. TVDin ! resigned
Ids seat to J. F. Chandler. I. L ,
Lyinnti , ex-water commissioner , was asked to
htep aside and was succeeded by Peter
Peterson , a laborer of dull comprehension
nnd nSwedish accent. S. S' . Griffin was ex
cused nnd E. J. UogUM succeeded him. L.
L , Corey made way for George Albright ,
David Hottrick for J. C , Jensen and A. P.
Martin for A. YormiUM.
.1. W. Castor was lot out on the eighth
challenge of the defense , aud in trying to till
his place the panel of 150 jurors
. < was exhausted. The court an-
liounccd tl.at another panel of IfiO
would bo drained and at ) o'clock adjourned
the trial till morning.
' At the rate of progress made today it will
take two or thrco days yet. to got the jury , ns
the defense is expected to exhaust Its chal
lenges to get the benefits of its innumerable
exceptions. The cloven Jurors nro In the
custody of nn ofllcor and cut off from com
munication with outsiders. This is said to
1)0 ) the first time in the history of the county
thnt Much care has been exercised with a
Jury.Tho
The day passed without anything of n sen-
National nature. Even the opposing lawyers
failed to lighten the monotony by n passage
nt arms , hut. the counsel relieved each other
by alternating In the monotonous qut/zlng.
Among the jurymen lot out on n peremptory
challenge wns ono who had been convicted of
murder in Wisconsin , but the vardlct wns af
terwards reversed.
Grading Tor a New Itond.
IlAimxr.TOX , Neb. , May .0 [ Special
Telegram to Tnc Bii : . ] Graders have
commenced work on thooxtension of the Chl-
cngo , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha at
BloomfieUl. They follow the line recently lo-
by the surveying corps that has been
field there , but whether it is for n
idbal spur or permanent extension cannot bo
learned. Contractors say that Instructions
from the railroad company are to grade ouo
tnllo only and ns the survey to either Yank-
ton or Nlobrnm would take tlio snmo course
for this distance , the commencement of work
would not interrupt or Interfere with nego
tiations. The reported activity of Sioux
City & Northwestern surveyors , n new road
/ thnt is seeking the sumo route to the
IL IHnck Hills country , Is given ns the reason
'T for this precipitate rush of nciual work on
the Bloomlleld lino. II this Is trim the work
commenced is that of a permanent extension ,
but the secret b well guarded. It is certain
that local railroad olllclals know nothlnp of
the real Intent of the railway company's pur
pose. Interested Individuals in competing
towns , Ynnkton nnd Nlohrara , nro equally
Ignorant nnd belli cities nro in n t'ovcr of
painful suspense awaiting future develop
ments.
The Crop Outlook ,
IVIIAIIXKV , Nob. , May 0. [ Special to Tun
Bin. : ] The crop outlook for central No-
braskn was never better , and business has
been greatly revived tlio past few weeks on
the proipects. A big nereago of smnlt grain
lias been sown , and it Is growing nicely.
Showers have been frequent , nnd with nn
unusually heavy snow m the mountains , old
timers prophesy nn abundance of rain during
the summer. The failure of the potato crop
last year , and tlio high prices which the tub-
errt bring has induced the farmers to plant
nhout all of the seed they could afford to buy ,
nnd the yield will undoubtedly bo very large.
It is n case of "nlthor make or broaU" with n
grt-at many farmers this your , nnd many are
planting more corn than can bo tukon care of
proxrly. ) ) From information carefully gath
ered from nearly all parts o ( the state Ne
braska will yield more corn this year than
> \ny other In Its history , should nothing check
Its growth.

The ousting of Governor Iloyd by the supreme
premo court of Nebraska was somewhat of n
surprise to political circles In Washington
nnd was the topic of considerable comment
today. The impnmlon has prevailed In judi
cial circles during the contest that Uoyd's
citizenship would not stand , but in political
quarters It was not thought ho would go out.
The supreme court Is expected to get notice
of the appeal within a x'ery few days , but it
will not bo determined before the October
session , ns the court expects to adjourn for
the summer ( when the associate justices go
upon their circuits ) on next Monday. In fact ,
the court on last Monday announced that it
would not hear further arguments before ad
journment and is now completing decisions
upon arguments nlrcady heard , nnd when
tlicy are delivered on next Monday formal
adjournment until about next October is to
bo taken. Associate Justice Brewer , who
presides over the Kiglith judicial circuit
which embraces Nebraska , may pcsslbly
take up the case and order n stay of execu
tion of the work of the supreme court of the
state , but that Is not thought llltoly. Tnis is
occasionally done In criminal cases. The im
pression In court circles here tonight , is that
Governor Thnyer will bo In the chair at least
till the supreme court convenes next fall.
It lias been suggested that this
appeal may properly cbino before the now
circuit court ot appeals which was created
by an act of the last congress nnd which is to
organize for that district nt Chicago on Juno
111 next , nnd tliat It would recolvo earlier
attention there. The circuit courts of appeal
have jurisdiction of cases nf this character ,
namely : Questions of citizenship of the
United States , or the various states , or con
struction or application of the constitution of
the United States or the states. The news
papers of Washington paragraph the ox-
cjovernor variously. The Post this morning
had those three editorial mentions.
"Good morning , ex-Governor Boyd. "
"This morning Hon. James K. Hoyd of
Nebraska llnds himself In : i position to sym
pathize with Hon. Henry W. Blair of Now
Hampshire. "
"Hon. James E. Boyd no doubt realizes by
this time that the supreme court of Nebraska
is a larger Institution than old vex popull. "
THE Dl'KAKKHSIIIP CONTTM' .
Representatives Bynum , Springer and Mc
Millan are all in tlio city and the speakor-
shin contest Is again growing warm. All are
active candidates for the place. Mills and
Crisp appear to bo close together in the load ,
with McMlllln next behind them nnd
Srrincor and Bynum in the order named.
McMillan openly states to his friends Unit ho
does not expect to got a lurgo vote on the
start , Out to come in nt thu finish when the
lending candidates have offset each other's
strength. His forces expect that whllo
Crisp and Mills are stubbornly con
testing the ground and each slopping
the other's progress , McMillan will slip
by nnd secure the victory. It appears that
Springer nnd Bymim have been working
upon the assumption that there might bo a
sentiment against giving the speakership to
o , southern man. As there lire more northern
than southern democrats in the next house it
would bo easy to elect n man living north of
tl'O Mason and Uixon line if there wore any
sectional feeling on the subject , but none
can bo discovoroJ so far. It is expected that
the speakershtp will 'be given to the south ,
as the presidency is not open to her , the
north bolnggiven control of the committees.
Thus far In the canvass Air. Springer has
been handicapped somewhat by being ill und
unable to take an nctlvo part. /

CnuseH ofthn I5cljj ' * ' ' Terror In tlio
lOternnl ftty.
LONDON' , May 0. A Uttc-r received here
from Roma gives sotno fao'f , in regard to the
riots which took place on jtny day. Accord
ing to it public ofllcinls as' well ns the people
hnvo been In n state of panic for n wcoic or
two. This state ot affair * . It appears , Is duo
to several causes , the most Important of
which uro the fall ot the mjnlstry headed by
Minister Crisp ! , the necojs.lon of the Rudinl
ministry into power , the strong puullo do-
miind for a n 'equalisation of the expenses nnd
receipts without , fresh taxation , the diplo
matic troubles which have arisen between
Italy and the United States , nnd , llnnlly , the
explosion nt Poz/.opiintalo , which caused so
much damage and alarm In Rome nnd vicinity.
Those incidents have tended to bring about
the feeling of panic which , ivs already stated ,
exists among the public ofllclals nnd the In
habitants generally at Rome. In spite of the
denials and oftlclal statements mndo to the
effect that the explosion at Pozzopantalo was
not the work of socialists or anarchists , the
Romans are convinced thai the explosion was
the work of anarchists , and it will require
considerable argument t ; > the contrary to
convince the people that they uro mistaken.
So deeply Is this convl ion rooted in tho"
public breast that they live in dally expecta
tion of hearing that there has been an explosion -
plosion In another powder 'magazine or that
some public building has been blown up. As
this wiis written before the lire ycsterdnj' ,
which destroyed the bin-racks and store
houses of the Cnrablcria and which created
so much alarm at the Vatican tllnt the entire
force of Swiss guards was liopt under nrms
all night , tlin feeling now * existing in Rome
can bo easily Imagined nnd especially ns
the lire is currcntljj attributed to
the socialists or nnurchlsts. The
feeling of panic referred tin the letter from
Homo is thus apparently Justified , or at least
it has received a sunicicut amount of con-
Urination to enable the pc ltnists nt least to
sav "I told you so. " Continuing , the letter
says thnt the crisis has 'undoubtedly caused n
collapse of speculative enterprise , which
state of affairs bus In tuhi. thrown thousands
of worklngmcn out of employment nnd in
this state of Idleness they , naturally became
dissatisfied with their enrpHiyers , with the
government and the system under which
they live. In this frame of mind the work-
ingmcd become ready proji for the agitators
who are continually dlpf Ing away at the
foundations of popular -intent. On May
day , this lettorsnys , the National 'socldty of
worklngmcn was workeij J p to fever neat
nnd the wildest roiortAiV.Dr circulated
by those who bad ovorytNt'p to gain nnd
nothing to lese by a itojFlar disturbance.
These rumors grew in importance until it
was actually believed thin It was true that n
revolution was imperfrtimr. Those rumori
were continually magnified and nowhere was
the panic greater than nt the Vatican and
among the various religions societies of the
city. In this city it was .stated that those
rclipious bodies had hurriedly stocked their
headquarters with llvo days provisions nnd
thnt the inmates had been strictly confined
withindoors. In a word ] bo religious com
munities wore bo alarmed at the socialist
taint in the air that they bad prepared to
stand a solgo in tlio event of a wholesale up
rising upon the part of the > inssos. But this
pnnlc wns not coniined to the religious bodies.
The richer families of the city were also so
seriously alarmed that they adopted the same
tactics as the religious Institutions aud nlso
stored provisions in their , houses and made
other preparations to fnco n serious riot and
perhaps an attack upon thbir residences.

TUB BII : . ] The nppearanco of the ofllcoof
the governor has changed wonderfully since
yesterday morning. Instead of the
quiet ulr that pervaded the place
there is now heard the noisy
gabble of n horde of onlcc seekers. Governor
Thayordovdtcd the entire morning to private
Interviews to these patriots anxious to servo
the stato. Smith Caldwell , cx-stato oil Inspector
specter , remained In close consultation with
Governor Thavor for nearly half an hour ,
whllo the anxious crowd In the reception
room waited Impatiently.
The only state house officials appointed by
Governor Boyd who nro lolt , nro Louis
Hclmrod , stn'to oil Inspector , nnd Philip
Andres , deputy labor commissioner. Even
Mr ) . Harris has uecu deposed , and Harry
Downs appointed instead ns clerk to Andres.
It is reported that Downs is working against
the rcappolntnient of Jenkins to Andres' po
sition.
The ousting of Governor Boyd is still the
absorbing topic. Nearly every state official
privately expresses regret , but each bogs
that lie bo not quoted. Tom Majors called on
the governor and had quite n long Interview
with him. In conversation with a reporter
ho said thnt ho hoped the republican party
would not in nny way suffer through the
change.
Up to noon today seven congratulatory tel
egrams were received by Governor Thayer.
They were sent by tlio following persons :

The telegram from L. D. Richards and

"Accent our sincere congratulations. Tlio
gratitude of all good clllzuus Is duu yon for
your conraici-ons and patriotic course , wbluh
ImH prevented an alien from holding the lii-'li
olllco of governor ot this great common
wealth. "
Judge Maxwell , ordinarily the calmest of
men , has shown that ho can display anger.
He Insisted on a stay of proceedings yester
day for at least twenty-four hours so that
Governor Boyd's attorneys could have u fair
chance to llln protests or other paners to
which thov wore legally entitled , but
Chief Justfco Cobb and Judge Nor-
vnl overruled these objections nnd insisted
that Governor Bovd bo Immealntcdly ousted.
Judge Mnxwoll tfion declared emphatically
that the writ of ouster had been "surrep
titiously obtained , " as it wns signed by only
ono of the judges. Cobb commenced u scath
ing criticism on Maxwell and thu latter dis
tinguished Justice became so Indignant that
ho Toft the room before Cobb had finished.
John D. Howw , counsel for Governor Boyd ,
has put on his lighting armor nnd declares
that in thirty days lie can nnd will bavo this
matter before the supreme court of the Unit

In the city last night , attending the annual
meeting of the Loyal Legion ,
"I have heard but very little comment
upon the decision handed down la the Boyd
case , " said Judge Cobb , in reply to n ques
tion from a Bin : reporter.
"You are aware of the fact , are you not
thnt the decision has created a great deal of
comment ! "
"I presume there has been considerable
tain about It , " said Judge Cobb , Hiuillni ;
ploimntly , "but you would bo much more
likely to hear free nnd open comment upon
the matter than I would. "
"Do you anticipate that the case will bo
carried to the supreme court ! "
"Oh. I do not Know as to that. I have had
but very llttlo to sny at ntry time about the
case outside of court , nnd In fact what I said
in the decision was simply to concur In the
opinion prepared by Judge Norval. "
"Did you ever hnvo such a case , or ono
similar to it , to deal with in your experience
as u lawyer or Judge ! "
"I never did. It was the first case of the
kind I over had to deal with In court. There
was u case In Arkansas und ono In Connecti
cut thnt were similar In some respects , but
not identical by any means. "
"Do you think there is any likelihood of the
supreme court reversing the decision ! "
"I would beg leave to be excused from sayIng -
Ing anything further upon the caso. We , us

matter , and n6w wo will permit others to do

Bm : . | Commenting on the decision of the
supreme court In .tho case of Hon. James E.
Boyd , the Journal ( republican ) this evening
says : Governor Boyd did some excellent
thlntrs while his brief term of oftlco lasted.
His greatest service to law and older was
his veto of the radical legislation against
railroads which was attempted by the folly
und Ignorance of the legislature. Ills acts
whllo In ofllce will stand. The fact that ho
was not lawfully elected docs not invalidate
what he did.
The Post ( doipocratle ) says : The judg
ment of the sujtremo court of Nebraska b\
which James E , Boyd Is ousted from thb
office of governor , serves the extremely useful -
ful purpose of spreading some much
needed cnlightmrnt on the sub
ject of naturalization und citizen
ship. Quito as Instructive from every
point of view , is the manner in which the
supreme court's Judgment of ouster was put
Into effect. The writ wns placed In tlio
hands 'of n deputy sheriff , who found Mr.
Boyd nt his desl : exorcising the functions of
governor , and served the process. Mr. Boyc
listened quietly and at once replied : " 1
recognize the supremacy of the law and am
ready to turn the ofllco over to my suc
cessor , " and so the "revolution" ends. Wo
commend this peaceful termination nf a con
flict enlisting the interests nnd passions of a
whole community to the pessimistic few who
doubt that the law U still sovereign over n
peaceful nnd peace-loving people.
The News ( Independent republican ) snys
After thinking nboutitforsomo four mouths
during which Hmo Governor llovd has beet
In possession nnd discharged the duties o
his oftlco the able supreme court of Nebraska
has nt length guessed thnt Mr. Boyd Is In
cliglblo to the gubernatorial chair nnd mus
vncnto. This will put General Thiiyor In pos
session of the ofllco. In vlowof the general's
advanced ago It Is very fortunate that the
court succeeded it getting itu Judicial mind to
operate so scon upon the question raised.

South Dakota AHKCHsment Law.
PJEKHI ; , S. D. , May ( i. ( Special Telegram
.0 TIIK Bii.J : Another blunder of the last
cglslature is occasioning the assessors of the
state not a little trouble , ns the exemption of
personal property wns so largo thnt a great
deal too much escaped. The now revenue
n\v places It at. & 2o In section 5 , but ip. section
16 it rcuds : "Provided , however , ' that nny
[ icrson , company or corporation in making up
; he amount ol personal property rciuilrod to
DO listed for himself , company or corpora
tions , shall bo allowed to deduct from the
gross amount thereof any Indebtedness of
Himself , company or corporation If the aamo
bo owned or held within this stato. "
This would go n. long ways In
unnuling the other sections of the law and
would virtually result in thnt little or no per
sonal property would bo taxed. As soon ns
Auditor Taylor had distributed the law with
Ids instructions over the state , letters from
assessors commenced piling In on him ns to
the meaning of section 18. The states attor
ney of Ivlngsbury county came all the way to
Pierre to investigate it. The auditor did not
feel like making a decision Inadvisedly , and
the supreme court did not cnro to make ono
when called upon. The attorney general in
nil opinion thinks thnt It means that debts
may bo deducted from credits. When Gov
ernor Mollotto returned from his western
trip Auditor Taylor referred the matter to
him and ho has made n formal demand on the
supreme court for u decision of the question.
This will probably he the most Important de
cision that the supreme court hns over been
Called upon to render. The constitution in
article 11 , sections f > . 0 and 7 , Mates that only
church property nnd personal property , not
exceeding ? 'JOO , ahull bo exempt from taxa
tion , and nil laws passed contrary shall bo
void. If the law is .sustained in its pres
ent form it means that nearly all the
the personal property of slate will go unas-
scssed. The state's revenues await the Issue.
Meanwhile the assessors of the state nro idle
although their duties should commence , by
law , on May 1.

lilmscH the vice president of a band of world
reformers , styling themselves as Christ Fol
lowers , and to bo doomed to carry out the
decree of the order. The man's name Is
Charles Dixon and ho comes from 1'ueblo ,
Colo. , and the method of his madness Is shown
by the following story of his campaign
against the Wall street millionaire : It was
yesterday morning tlmt Inspector Byrnes
received u telegram from Mr. Gould's house
requesting him to moot the railroad magnate
nt his Wall street oflleo. The Inspector wont
down ns requested and soon after his arrival
Dr. Munn , Jay Gonld's physician , came In.
Ho told the lnspce'.or that a man 'who calls
himself Charles Dlxon had come to his house
the night before with an Introduction from u
friend in 1'ueblo and told a long story. Dlxon
hud said ho belonged to an organization
known nt Christ Followers , very powerful In
this country , and bait been m ido a deputy by
the counsel to kill Jay Gould. Ho thought
the matter might bo llxod. in the year IbiS
ho luul been engaged by n certain ncwspapct
man to carry copy mid through this employ
ment ho got Into the order. At Din end of n
year or so ho was asked to talio the last degree -
greo and did so. Tins was the way of It :

of Christ's Followers unit obey the laws oC
the order. Its purposes \vns the equalisation
of money and property , there being too many
rich and too many poor people in the country.
Its methods , as will appear , wore original.
On April If ) Dlxon was ordered to proceed to
New York , obtain by hook or creel : an Inter
view with Jay Gould and demand $ lOiKlH)0 ) )
down , $ < ! , OOO.UOO in ten years at the rate of
$ r > ( XU)0 , ( a year , and still another * r ,00 < ) ,000 in
the decade unless Mr. Gould died In llio
meantime. In case of emergency Dixon waste
to demand that ho provide in his will for
Dart of his entire fortunu for educational
and charitable purposes , all except ? tCOOOOi )
for each member of tils family , Thut was
the limit. Dlxon said that unless Mr. Gould
consented to pay the inonoy ho would uo
killed. It anything happened ho ( Dixon )
would catch it from thy Christ Followers
and would have to die. He got his I'uoblo
friend to give him an introduction to Dr.
Munn , Gould's physician , on the protonao
that ho was going there for medical advice.
Smco ho has been bore It occurred to him
that ho might fix tilings with the order for
850,000 down and SiOO.OOO for elmrity , saying
that Mr. Gould was an old in.in mid could
not llvo long any way. Hut that was the
cheapest. In anticipation df _ 'refusal and
the possibility that ho would lese
his own life ho had his llfo insured for M.OOO
toe the boneOt of Ills family and rather than
HiilTor death at the hands of Christ's Follow
er * ho determined to kill himself. Ho would ;
go to Hartford , shoot oft his own pistol , tear
his watch chain and .scatter his papers In the
road and miuto it look like robbery and than
shoot himself with another pistol to complete
the fraud. Thus his insurance would hold
good. Dr. Munn listened to the long story
and then had the man arrested. Today ho
was committed to a\vi it examination as to his
sanity. Ho is crazy of course , but , a very
dangerous lunatic.
