. -Injtho Gold Hill mining camp , In
this county , nil work except that on pincers
Is seriously Interfered with by water. Thu
was antlcipited by those familiar with the
locality Provision had been made by these
who wintered there for a cessation of devel
opment work for a short period while the
deep snow banks wcro melting Even In
their calculations they did not expect that
the ground would bo uncovered much bcforo
the first week in Julv. But as a mailer of
fact tbo season Is fully a month earlier Ihls
year lhan last. As a consequence the snow
Is disappearing o rapidly that from present
Indications It will most likely ba gene by the
middle of next month. The earliest time
when strangers ought to co Into the camp
would b i Juno 15.
Probablv because this condition of things
bos not been fully understood , there has been
n rush of newcomers to th'1 camp before any
preparations were mnde to take cnro of them.
These pcoplo have had to go lo the cabins of
the miners for meal5 and lodidntr. because
there arc insufficient accommodations at tbo
public houses. It was fortunalo for this
class that the miners aru hospitable , else
coses of hardship or distress might have re-
nulled. In roost Instances the strangers bavo
found that their advent was ill-timed on the
Bcoro of unfavorable condition ! for obtaining
work from others or prospecting on their
own account.
All classes nro represented by these new
recruits , trom the expert to tho"tenderloot. "
Borne think that all that is necessary is to get
to the camp ; then their fortune Is made.
Others announce thai they Im-o come lo
prospect , but land without supplies , tools , or
even rnonov. It doesn't appear to have oc
curred lo Ihem that ihoy are in need of any
of Ihcso things unlil Ihev llnd Ihcmsclvcs
fttramlcd on the mountain top. Old pros-
peelers , however , who were eacer lo be nt
the head of Ihe procession conlcnlcd them-
BClves with "sizing up" the camp and then
Delected for their temporary Held of opera
tions other localities in the extensive Hold
11111 district. It is know n that some of those
experienced men have already boon rewarded
by locallnc good claims on the hills which
ore bare of snow.
It would not be surprising to hear that rich
Mrikus had been made on some of Ihese
rlalms for It is known that manv samples of
rock have been sent away for assay.
I'.olocatliif ; Old FinilK.
Within the past few weeks men have ar-
nvod in Saratoga who were presumably
bended for the Hold Hill camp. But after
potlini : an outfit , together they struck out in
nn entirely different direction. From hints
dropped by one of these mysterious visitors
a clue to the motives , of others may bo
evolved. It seems that after the gold excltc-
rncnl of Hahn's Peak a number of years ago ,
omo of Ihe men who wcro attracted there
scattered out over Iho mountains nnd put in
rt of a season in prospccling Iho Sieira
S laaro and Medicine Uo\v ranges which sur
/ round tbo unper Plalto valley. As
S the story goes favorable indications
L-
- mineral were found in abundance.
Nothing short of a regular bonanza
corns to have been able to satisfy this class.
They appreciated the fact that moderately
ccod linds in a region that was so inaccessi
ble as that was then did not possess much
value to n poor man. But now , with the
prospect of the whole district being speedily
opened up and with such good facilities for
pelting into and out of It and n bnso of sup-
biles so conveniently niph , these old finds
nave attained a certain value. That stimu
lates the hunt for old prospects. Undoubtedly
work will bo done on many such locations
during the present season.
Itcfercnco bos already been made in TUB
BEE to the claims owned by Messrs. Wil
liams , Jones nnd Heather , located on the
range on the west side of the Platte valley
nnd for which United States patents hnvo
been obtained. They have been worked for
nnutrherof joars and developed to such
nn extent as to Indicate that there is a rich
dilvcr belt underlying the mountains such as
many expect will in tlrno be struck in the
( Jold Hill ca-no. On one of their claims In
particular the Yankee Jack rich gold prospects -
pects were obtained from surface rock. This
is from a three-foot vein of decomposed
tit which assayed elchty ounces in gold ,
or $1,1)00 to Iho Ion. Tbo gold-bearing sur
face rock U not unlike lhat found on Gold
JH1L Aflcr sinking only .Ibreo or four feet
this lead carried a black ere which ran TOO
ounces in silver lo the ton. Tbo lead widened
out to thirteen feet when a depth of 135 fcot
bad been reached. Then a cross section was
run and the vein averaged thirteen ounces In
liver to the ton on everything.
It Is worthy of mention that the Yankee
Jack's ore at tno point where the gold ran
out and the silver became strong was similar
to lhat found in the Lovialhin shaft in the
Gold Hill camp at a depth of 100 feet. Al
though no such high assays bavo been ob
tained on the Lovlathnu , tbcro are indica
tions thai its ere will run to silver. Develop
ment to n greater extent has been done on
the Lax ialhan than on any other claim lu the
camp , but work has been temporarily sus
pended on It on account of water. But from
ivhat has been noticed In the YankooJacK
there Is reason lo believe lh.it some of Iho
claims on Gold Hill will turn out similarly to
that.
A Skeleton Mine.
The Yankee Jack is located right on tbe
uminlt of Ibo conlinentnl divide at the
head of Jacit creek , anc * twenly-tivo miles
poulhwesl of Saratoga. While Iho waler
from the mine Hews lo Iho Atlantic slope , an
extension of tbo Yankee Jack lies over on thg
J'ucillc Mope. Southeast of the Yankee Jacl"
Jlvo miles , between Jack creek and the north
fork ot Spring creek , Is another claim owned
by the same men which presents some pe
culiar features. The Galena , as It is called ,
is located on a belt which comes through the
mountains. On top galena was shown on a
Well dclined load ten to twelve feet In width ,
Vhlch in places widened out to fifty feet. A
foot under ground all tbo mineral had disap
peared , and afler going down len fcot no
evidences of It were found except specks of
galena and copper In the solid rock. The walls
ere well defined and thcro are three
different veins which would seem to
-Silicate that there ought to be found a min
eral-bearing vein on each side of the wall and
ono In the middle. These veins vary from
one to three lecl in widlh , but It Is only n
ekolcton of a mine. Tno rock is honey combed
und In p'aces ' has the appearance of cinder.
There aru crystals that resemble these of a
eoda formation and where the mineral has
appeared to break dow n occur marks of cubes
and octahedrons which lead would tako.
The locators cf Ihls freak sank4 nluely feet
on the lead and then went down to the foot
of tha bill and followed In on the vein for a
distance of 100 fret. Hero the sumo coneral
char.ictcrislica were observed. ThosKoloton
v as located In 1S7S but active work on It was
abandoned four years ugo. It may be ro-
eunieil again during the present season.
Aside from being a geological curiosity ,
the Galena may turn out to play an import-
nut part In mining operations in that section.
It has been suggested that Ibo missing min
eral or tbo deposit which miirht be expected
to be found In that formation has bean ex
tracted by the action of hot water slrongly
Impregnated with soda. The famous hot
springs of Saratoga are ot such a character
nnd are located on the same Dell along which
the skeleton lead runs. Only a short dis
tance away from tbo Galena stcum pours up
. through the earth in cold weather , furnish
ing additional proof of the presence of oihcr
springs in Iho vldnlly.
It tbo theory as to the extraction ot tbo
mineral , as has been intimated , is the cor
rect one. then there is good reason to bollovo
that cither silver carbonates or sulphates
may bo discovered in the neighborhood.
Beds would bare such an effect on the forms
of sliver referred to.
Monster Gold trails.
j" Both on tbe Atlantic and iMclflc slopes of
'the continental divide nro good surfacu indi
cations of mineral In well defined leads. Ou
the Hearing fork , which ilowt Into the
Gnaka rivcir on the Pacltlo side. Is one huge
lead which Is tnceabl * for miles. For a long
/istanca it averoees twenty-five to thirty
yards In width. It has been discussed moro
at a curiosity than as possessing any real
value. While It has alnravs been regarded as
a low grade sliver oro. It ls likely to turn out
to be rich in goldA piece of rock knocked
off on the surface I found by assay to run $ 10
In pold to Iho ton oosldes Uvo ounces In sil
ver. Xo effort has over been made to exploit
any of those big leads.
Around Battle lake , also on the Pacific
slope , are encouraging prospects which no
body ha > ever taken pains to Investigate.
The lake U evidently a rollo of the glacial
ago and Is held by the last morrainc. U Ls
about two miles down from tbo top of the
divide under the shadow of the highest peak
in the ranges , which towers upward to an
elevation of 1I.7QO fcot. Battle lake Is a
beautiful sheet of water TOO yards lone and
200 to 300 yards wldo and very deeo. Spurs
which run out from the range and hem In
iho lake are covered with quartz and good
prospects are reported to bavo been found
thero. Below tha lake In tbe park , a inllo
and a half away , the dirt from the grass
oots down pans out well.
These nro some of the many localities
which prospectors are Illtcly to seek during
the present season nnd from which reports of
rich strikes may coma.
Work nt Ooltl Hill.
During their enforced Idleness In the Gold
Hill camp the miners have been prospecting
In the neighboring country. A great deal of
trcuchlnir was done In Ihe snow anil this
risky sort of work has not been truliless by
any means for sumo good lead * have been
struck. One of tbo most no'abto of the recent
finds In the vicinity of the camp was that ot
Chase , Handley and Hughes on French
creek , six miles south of Gold Hill. The lead
is reported as being fitly feet wide and pans
out well Another strike was lhat of George
KolfT. who got assays of { 10 in silver and feIn
In cold to the ton
The Fortune culm which has been worked
since carlv in January had two feet of quartz
to a considerable depth which has widened
out to Uvo feet. The rock pans well but no
other tosls have been made. Woik has been
kept un on the Black Bar claims and thcv
arc Improving both as to the quality and
quanllty of the ore. From the beginning
both the Acme and Enterprise claims hnvo
looked well and their shalta are being Urn-
beied preparatory lo taking oul ore for the
cuslom slump mill which Is being shipped In.
Claim Jumping has already begun in Iho
camp. If a locator dncs not comply with all
tbo requirements of the law there are others
who will. As a consequence some of
these who attempted to corral u
lot of ground without taking the
trouble lo flnd Iho lead or who lia\e been
holding claims on n spcculallon hnvo bad
their porcine plans somewhat interfered
with.
As a general rule It Is regarded as a gratu
itous piece of impudence to venture any ad
vice to a certain class of prospectors. But
If they put In some ot their spare lime iu Iho
Gold Hill district and delay going into the
promising camp of the same name until Jur.a
l.r > at tlio earliest , they may find lhat a profit
able scheme aud save themselves much dis
comfort. GCOUOE F. CAMS.
JUI'ICI\Li OPINIONS
Given in a Number of Cases In the Dis

In thocaso of Olsen against Ward , Judge
Hopawoll overruled the motion for a now-

the case of \ \ Illlam Yohethe expert whlttler
against the tden Musec.
The motion for anew trial was overruled
in the cr.se of Hiloy ft Dillon against Stortz
Si Her. On the trial of this cause it was
proven that while Pete Woodmanseo was
running a saloon Ihe license was Issued to
Slorlz Si Her. Goods were sold lo Wood *
roanscoand Stortz & Her refused lo pav for
Ihe samo. Judgments wcrosendered against
Iho dofcndants.aflor which they moved for a
new Irial on the ground that tbe Judgments
should have been against Woodmanseo.
In Boggs & Hill against tbo city the de
murrer to the petition was overruled and tno
defendant given thirty days in which to an
swer. In this case the city took certain lands
and lots in the ovtension of a street. Ap
praisers were appointed and the damages as
sessed at $4,00(1. ( On February S3 , IS'JO , the
plaintiffs waived the payment In order to give
the city time to assess thu damages against
tba abutting property and collect the samo.
In May 1STO the council confirmed the re
port of the appraisers bul failed to make the
collection. Boggs & lilll sued for the
amount. The city attorney demurred to iho
petition , alleging lhat as the plaintiffs had
waived payment at the lime , they must abide
the time or bring mandamus pro
ceedings. In rendering the decision
the Judge hold that if Iho plaintft ! did walvo

Ho Mny Bo Better Cared , for When
Wounded Hereafter.
Dr. Bacho. surgeon of the department of
the Platte , returned yesterday from New-
York City , whore ho spent two months as a
member of the board of medical examiners
and also as a member of tbo board appointed
to revise the supply table and the medical
corps equipment for field uso.
Dr. Dacha said last night to THE BER that
tbo board hod appointed live of the appli
cants examined. About thirty young physi
cians presented themselves for examination ,
but many of them wcro physically incapaolo
of passing muster. There were seventeen
vacancies to bo filled , so there uro twelve
places jet vacant.
The board appointed to rovlso the field
equipment for the hospital corps will recom
mend sonio decided Improvements In the field
equipment. The use of pack panniers for
medical and surgical equipment will bo rec
ommended , and a personal equipment of a
surgical and medical case for each man in
the hospital corps will also bo recommended.
The insufficiency of the hospital corps
equipment has long been realized by United
States army surgeons. Dr. Bacho found this
the case last winter at Pine Ridge , at tbo
time of the Wounded Knee fight.
The regulations recommended by the board
will supply n case of plain surgical Instru
ments and medicines for each raun in the
hospital corps , to bo carried as a knapsack
over the shoulders when In the field. In cases
of emergency each man will then bo enabled
'
to become a'full fledged surgeon for the lm-
mediate relief of tbo wounded. They are all
trained men , so that where U Is necessary
they can dress a wound , temporarily , with
out the assistance of ono of the surgeons.

In the Discharge or 111 *
Duties.
Edward C. Carries and his deputies Trill
not Inspect any oil In Nebraska this week.
That 1s the substance of an order Issued by
Judge Doano of the district court late yester
day afternoon.
Hon. Louis Helmnxl has asked the courts |
to sustain his claim to the oftlco of state oil
Inspector , and the matter will como before
Judcro Doano on Monday , Juno 1 , for final

Holmroa recites the facts In the caso. Heavers
avers that ho was appointed by Governor
Boyd to the oftlco of state oil Inspector for
the terra provided by law ; that Governor
Thayer , without preferring charges against
him as provided by law , appointed Edward
C. Carnos as state oil Inspector and in-
slruoled the oil companies doing business In §
the state to not recognize tbo authority of
Mr. Heimrod or his deputies.
Mr. Heimrod further alleges that ho was
not given any official notice of his removal
by Governor Thayer , and thai ho had not '
ecn guilty of any failure to perform tbo
uties of his oQleo and had not given any
auso for bis removal. Ho also alleges that
o had notified Carncs not to attempt
perform any of tbo duties of the
tale oil iuspcctor , but that his orders had
iccn disregarded and that Carnes and his
eputles were wrongfully nnd Illegally por-
'ormlng or attempting lo perform iho duties

It was upon this statement of facts that
Mr. Heimrod asxed for an Injunction re

New YorK Sun ( dem. ) : The conference ,
congress or confabulation which began at

patriots waiting for something lo lurn up
that has over been on exhibition.
Kansas City Times ( dem. ) : Looking
ahead to next year , while tbo shrewdest can
not yet say whether the people's party will
carry ono or twenty stales. It may bo sufcly
estimated lhat it will cut most deeply into
the republicans. The platform in its gen
eral propositions very nearly parallels the
democratic doctrine. It is in opposition lo
iho republican record from cud lo end.
Now York World ( dera ) : A morning
nexvs paper refers contemptuously to the men
assembling In Cincinnati as the "delegates
of the discontented. " The men In question
may be very wise or very unw Uo what they
do will determine that but it Is no reproach
to them lhat they are the "delegate. ! of the

Now York Tiroes ( Ind. ) : The now party ,
constituted by the disgruntled politicians
and Ihe "cranks" and dreamers of half a
dozen western states , announces In Its plat
form the purpoio of capturing the convention
already called for tbo M of next February ,
but , falling that , Its central committee Is dl-
rvcteu to call a national convention "not later
than Juno 1 , Ib'JJ , for iho purpose of nomi
nating candidates for president and vica
president. " This Is an omen of division and
not of union. The abler and more levelncadod
leaders of the organizations which Joined
In the call for the February convention
will never submit to the control of Ine short
sighted and foathcr-brnlned ( asatics who
ruled the Cincinnati conference. Tha seeds
of dissension and antagonism lit the mil Irs of
tbo discontented have alruauy been sown.
The result will probably bo two Independent
parlies next year , but the chances are that
there will DC so little cohesion In them that
tboy will not seriously 'disturb ' the political
balance of the country. The contest will be ,
as of yore , txlwoen ijirv. two parties into
which tha pcoplo always divide in the aptta-
tlons of national politick upon the chief
issues that appeal to Intelligence and convic
tion. ;
That the extent of these evils assumes ex
aggerated proportions In the minds of the
people doubtless is tmt > t that some of the
remedies proposed by the "conference would
work result * far worsq than the disoa.se is
certain ; that there Is not In the resolutions
of the conference a 'single ' declaration to
which reason can cl\fo assent that 1s not
likely to bo found In the platforms of ono or
both of the old parties Is certain. But , for
all this , the volco of the conference Is as "the
volco of ono crying In tha wilderness. " It Is
nn earnest volco , and the wrongs of which It
complains must bo romedled. This Is the
lesson of the last futile attempt at the forma
tion of n new peoplo's'party.
Chlcauo Inter-Ocean : This Is what the
student of politics perceives , and what it is
n icedful that the practical politician should
r lercelvo ; the conscience of n largo part of
ho American people Is troubled. That Is
\
vhat , the outcome of the Cincinnati con for-
e inco teaches. The power of great corpora-
eo et Ions is regarded as oppressive , the danger
o r transmission of largo fortunes from sire teen
s . on through many generations Is appro-
ended ; the power of speculators and money
ings to raise and lower the prices of neces-
arles of life at their pleasure Is feared ; the
'alslficatlon of the ballot ( n various states Is
ccognlzcd , the power ot wealth upon noniin-
ling conventions and upon legislatures that
ilect senators 1s discerned.
Washington Post ( Ind ) : The platform
.dopted at Cincinnati yeslcrday Is moro
lomogcacous in character than might bavo
> een expected of n convention composed of
luch heterogeneous elements. It Is devoted
mainly to Industrial nnd economic rather
nan social or sentimeninl Issues. Us chief
liffercnco from the plirtfortns of the old par
ies consists in its ender < ement of the sub-
reasury scheme of government loans nnd Its
approval of a graduated income tax. In
these respects the convention takes an
advanced position. It also declares substan
tially In favor of government ownership of
ntllroids nnd of the election of president and
. ice president by a direct vote of the pcoplo.
' * It will bo well for the politicians to
put their houses in order Byvisdom they
may break the force of the slorm , but the
itorm Is in the air. It may spend itself , but
, vhllo It lasts It adds an clement of doubt to
all political calculations.
Dos Moines Keglster ( rep ) : The "peo

Philadelphia Times ( Ind. ) : Several times
already In tbo history of iho country n po
litical organization or more or less pretension
has been formed with the tltlo of "Tho Pee
ple's Pariy. " As overj party claims and is
supposed by Its adherents to bo In the Inter
est of "the people , " the1 use of such a Ullo is
expressive of nothing more definite than dis
content with existing organizations , and
while discontent is often an important factor
in politics , It can never furnish a permanent
basis of political action : As a consequence
the so-called people's parties have been
short lived , and it is scarcely probabio that
these who Joined in tlio qrganizatlon of tbo
now people's party at Cincinnati expect a
very long duration for IU * But. while It lasts
it may have some importance. * * * It is
impossible and unnecessary to predict the
immediate effect of this organization. Like
the original greenback and other allied
movements it is likely enough to tempt both
of the two great parties into bids for its sup
port , or it may become no moro than so much
political merchandise. But so far ns it goes
it indicates that the revolution which gave
tbo new congress to the democrats has not
yet spent its force and the element which it
represents Is a factor that must bo reckoned
in the calculation for 1S9J.
Chicago Tribune ( top. ) : Ono of the reso
lutions passed by the cranks in the "peo
ple's" convention assembled at Cincinnati
demands that the ex-union soldiers shall be
paid Iho difference between the values of
paper and the gold during the war , and char
acterizes this as "equal and exact Justice , "
On tbo contrary , it would bo rank injustice
to the other pcoplo who would bavo to pay
iho money out ol their earnings. The fact is ,
the pay of the soldier was raised by succes
sive steps from $3 to $10 per month for the
express purpose of compensating them for
the existence of the premium on gold.
There were also large stale , counly
and town bounties granted to volun
teers at tbo time , and most liberal pen
sion allowances since then. Do tbo cranks
want to pav yet again for the service ? If they
do the next stop should bo lo reimburse all
these who lent money or sold goods before
the war to persons who afterwards j > aid Ibeir
debts In iho depreciated currency. Further
more , all persons who contracted debts dur
ing the war in paper currency and afterwards
paid them on a gold basis would ba equally
entitled to call for a reopening of the account
and payment of the difference Then we would
bavo a grand leveling up and down In defiance
of all law and agreements lo tlio contrary , and
a chaos of confusion llttlu short of that which
would follow a granting of the convention's
demand for the issue of a fiat curroucv by
the billion.

properly that belongs to Iho government in
the possession of thu brewers , distillers and

He found five cases of instruments used by
guagcrs in testing liquor In the possession of
thollquor men. Mr. Peters said yesterday r
that ho knew these Instruments belonged lo
Iho government tor , so far as ho know ,
there was no other source through which
such instruments could bo secured. These
instruments bavo evidently beeu used by
caugers and have been sold or given to tba
liquor dealers. Each case is worth about 150 ,
Mr. Peters has also s61zea ten whisky bar

and the parties who baJ-them in possession
will bo prosecuted for an attempt to defraud
the government. '
Several parties have also been caught with

SOUTH OMAHA LOCAL RATES ,
It is Shown Wherein the Eastern Shippers
Da Not Suffer. i
CAREFUL COMPARISON OF FIGURES.
Ratio of the Prornto Percentage to
the Stun of the Two
Other Mnglo City
Now .
The enforcement of the provisions of the
interstate commerce law by the Western
Freight association Is still the cause ot con
siderable complaint and kicking. Under the
lax practices in vogue till a month ago , the
market was largely in the interest of ship
pers from this point , and to a corresponding
amount against local packers. Shippers
then could buy stock and got the privilege of
forwarding on through Dllllngs from western
points at the pro rata schedule rales , thus
saving from fi to 10 per cent of the privilege.
Under the well enforced laws , requiring
the preservation of the identity of SIOCK , Ihls
cannot be done. Other than through stock
must pay local rates. This enforcement in
no way works to the detriment of ibis mar
ket , as stock properly billed to Chicago via
South Omaha may have Ihe benefit of this
market and on being sent on Ihrough will
have Iho bonefil of Ihrough rates. In case
the stock bo sold bore only local
rates from Iho point of origination
to this place will bo paid flio only cases
or complaint are where shippers fall to bavo
their shipments properly billed td Chicago
via Soulh Omaha If billed direct to South
Omaha and it afterwards be forwarded to
Chicago , two local rates w ill bo charged.
Shippers have , or claim to have , substan
tial grounds for complaint against the pres
ent pracllces. For Inslanco , Ihey claim that
with a $10 rate on a car of slock from Papil-
lion to Soulh Omaha , that on buying iho
same stock nnd shipping It to Chicago , they
are compelled to pay to the Union Pacific
railroad company 40 per cenl of the through
freightage of f57V.W or $ M b * moro than twice
iho local ralo. The same applies lo nearly
all points wllhln a near radius.
From Ihls it is argued' lhal they are not
only discriminated againsl , but are actually
robbed of considerable money on freights
under Iho10 and 00 per cent apportionment
rule , or else are llltcly to bo driven out of
this market. They boldly maintain that with
out them iho market would bo mined.
An analysis of even this extreme case will
demonstrate that shippers are rather bene
fited than injured by the pro rata rule. At JO
cents per 100 pounds , the tariff rate from Pa-
pillion to Chicago , n car of stock of4,000
pounds would cost JtV3.40. If shlpiwd through
the 40 per cent west of the river would be
$ J4 W. or $14 W creator ihnn ino local rate
from Papllllon to this market , and Iho 00 per
cent cast of iho river would $ .17.44. This on
its first face shows n direct loss or
dlsadvantago to shippers of $14.9 on
each car load of Papllllon stock
bought on this market for shipment to Chicago
cage And the same applies to all other near
by points.
But when It bo recalled thai Iho local rate
of $10 from Papllllon hero and -J3 cants per
100 pounds from here to Chicago , will
make the freightage on a carload of 21,000
pounds $ < > 0.40 , even this apparent hardship Is
to the shipper's advaniago , as U1.S3 cents per
100 pounds , or a saving of 1.07 per 100 pounds
equal loft per car over iho combined local
rates.
But this apparent hardship or oven real
hardship , If it bo real , entirely vanishes
as moro distant points are considered.
Columbus , with a : ilo through rate ,
has a $ J9 local rate. Tbo through rate to Chicago
cage Is $74.40 , wbilo Iho two lcx l rales are
f-KJ and $43.50 , while Iho 40 per cent distribu
tion to this point amounts to f-M.Tii and the GO
per cent cast amounts to only $44.00 , nn ad
vantage to local shippers of GO cents.
The rate on car lots from boda Springs to
South Omaha Is $125 and to Chicago $100.
This makes 40 per cent or the cost of the car
from Soda Springs lo Ibis point $ (54 , or 312.03
cents per 100 pounds , while the 00 per cent
cast Is $00 , or only 14.53 per 100 pounds , to
the shipper's aavantaso as 14.3.3 per 100
pounds is lo 23.5 per 100 pounds. In other
words , Ihls car of slock on Ibo Ihrough bill
ing from Soda Springs U drawn from Ibis
point lo Chicago for $ J5 , while Iho local rale
Is $3040.
Sllll there are some people not happy nor
even pleased.

Coroner Harridan looking Into
lllctinr < t Molodj ' Dcinlsc.
A coroner's Inquest to determine the cause
of Richard Melody's death was brgun yesterday -
terday afternoon at C. W. Gring's undertaking -
taking rooms.
Albert T McLaughlin , the president and
manager ot the Omaha Medical institute ,
was the first witness. Manager McLauehlm
denied lhat bo styled or advertised himself
ns a physician , and stated that , while the
ofilco records showed that Melody had pnldj
$419 for the operation and treatment ,
he did not see tbo intlent until a dny or so
after the second operation Wllncss'had no
oxplanalton lo give why Ihe deceased was
burled as a counly pauper , or why frioudi at
Stuart had not been notified.
Mr. McLnughlln said that while manager
ot tbo Institution ho was not familiar with
every case In Iho hoapllal , and as ho was not
n physician could not bo oxpoclod lo know-
anvtnlug about coses from a medical point of
view
Dr J P. Williams Is the examining physi
i cian nt Ihe hospital and slalcd tint he exam
| ined j Melodv on tlio day of his arrival at the
Insttlulo Dr Williams next saw tno deceased
ceased when on the tnblo at the time of the
firsl operation and assisted Dr. Sinclair , the
surgeon The witness stated lhat ho thought
Melody was strong and healthy , considering
his ago , and believed htm able to stand an
opera lion.
Dr. Isaac Sinclair Icsllfled Ibat ho was the
surgeon of the hospital nnd performed the
opcralion upon Richard Melody. Coroner
Harrigan questioned the surgeon at some
length upon the anesthetics used nnd their
effect , also upon Iho physical condition of Iho
patient nt the lime ho was placed under Iho
knife. Dr. Sinclair closed his lestlmony by
stating that ho had been u hospital surgeon
In Chicago and also a railroad surgeon some
years ago.
Dr J. A. HuL'hson staled lhat ha adminis
tered other to Iho patient when ho lay upon
the operaling tablo. Beyond lhat ho know
nothing about iho operation
C. W Gring , the undertaker , teslifiocl lhat
ho was called by telephone. Thursday night
nnd Instructed to call at Iho hospital after
dark for a dead man The Idea of calling late
nt night wus to prevent the olhor patients
from seeing the body removed. Gring was
instructed lo bury Ibo body as cheaply as
possible nnd send Iho bill lo McLnughlln ,
who told him that Melody bad no friends or
relatives
The undertaker stated that burylnjr the
body so early the next morning was purely u
matter of convenience
At tbo conclusion of Gring's testimony

NUIV POINT K\I RD.
Question of State Olliccrs' lii lit to
Intervene Deulileil Provisionally.
The application of Auditor Bon ton for
leave to intervene in the case of Madden
against the Nebraska Insurance company
was heard by Judges Wakoley and Irvine
yesterday afternoon. The auditor was rep
resented by Assistant Attorney General
Summers.
The petition , beside asking for leave to In
tervene , naked for the appolntutcnl of D. B.
Wclpton , Mr. Albright having declined to
serve.
The point was raUed by the atlornoy for
the company that the petition should hao
been made by the attorney general In his
own name and not by the auditor. The
court decided that tbo t > otnt was well taken
and held lhat the attorney general may inter
vene in iho pending suit in his own name ,
but that tbo auditor has no such right. Tbo
opinion was given by Judge Wakeloy , who
stated that It was a hasty decision on u point
which was now In tuo slate and was given
subject to revision If necessary.
The attorney general was given leave to
file a new petition in his own name by Tues
day morning and the case will bo heard Tues
day.

Auditor Thomas Bcnlon was asked about
the charge made In the district court at Lin
coln to the effect lhat a member ot thu state
board * ot transporiallon got a rake off of one-
third ot the profits for securing a contract
from the Kikhorn for Doty & Richarujon of
David City.
Ho stated very emphatically that there
was nothing whatever in the case as far as
the present board was concerned nnd ho be-
lloved that , the statement had been made
simply to prejudice the cose. ( It appears
thai the statement was made in an answer
filed by Doty In a CO.M * in Ihe district court
of Lancaster county. )
The auditor stated further that tbo board
had held a meeting ana bad talked tha mat
ter over and ho was prepared to stale , under
Oath , lhat no memocr of the board bad received -
coivod a dollar In any shape or form from the
firm named. He was wailing , ho said , for

day afternoon , and a Bet : reporter was
let 1 , In on thu ground lloor.
' I was moro than pleased with the result

Franklin county. "Tho harmony of the

the crowning climax of tbovtmlo business.

said Mr Cameron , "was thu b ir > ing of Iho

J 11 Thointon , editor of the Nebraska Independent -

tluients" to about everything the other dele-
gales said concerning Iho conference.
J. W Coulter of Hastings is considered to
bo ono of iho level heads In the new parly
"I was pleased with the way the convention
averted a wrauglo over the prohibition ques
tion , " said Mr. Coulter. "St. John nnd Mrs.
Helen Cougar ware there , but wo were not
there lo discuss Iho prohibition issue. There
were lots of prohibitionists and slatinch tem
perance mon in the convention , but wo went
there lo discuss other mailers nnd Ihe thrift
and prohibition were wisely avoided , The
unity of sentiment expressed was a most
wonderful Ihlng. I never expect to sco a

"Will iho tariff question not como up for

"It will bo discussed .some , but wo do not

Congressman Kem of Ihe third district was

Kom , "tho unity manifested between dele
