[ Special to THE HUB. ] The Investigation of the Hastings nsylum scandal has boon postponed until next week , ns State Treasurer Hill ana Com missioner Humphrey will not return until Monday. The talk now Is that an export no- countnnt shall bo employed , who will po through the Uooks of tbo hospital from Its in ception to the present date. The covornor says ho is la favor of a thor ough Investigation anil will show no mercy to nnyona shown to bo Rullty of malfeasance in ofllco. Ho will not pass Judgment on the tronpcth of newspaper reports , however , anil consequently declines to uccoilo to the ro- miost of the state board of public lamls and buildings tlmt Superintendent Test and Stow- nrd Llverlugtiouso ho suspended pending the oxnminatlon. The governor Is also quoted as nying that ho has reason to think the attack on the officers of tbo asylum comes from enu- inlos of tils and U made boemio the onicors Bro appointees and frioiuls of his. Dr. Test has been down twice , but Stew- nrd Llverlnghouso has remained studiously away. This absence U the more marked be cause the board wrote him Juno 0 demanding that ho come to Lincoln and explain the ir regularities la his accounts. Two days later ho wrote asking the board to suppress public ftotlco of the affair as much as 'possible , but lie offered no explanation ami said nothing obou' coining to Lincoln. On Juno K ) ho wrote admitting the duplication mentioned by the board , but ho asserted that ho also had made the same discovery. Ho said the sum Involved had been turned Into the cash fund and would appear la the next quarterly re port. The board Is wondering why It was not Included in the last re | > ort , why Mr. Llvorlngbouso took thrco or four days to answer the letter of Juno 1) and why ho bus tiot coma to Lincoln to make a personal ex planation. Hut the board omitted to do ono thing. In the letter of Juno 0 mention was * made of only two of the Items that appear to have been imld twice. This omission was inten tional on the part of tl.o board , and , curiously enough , Mr. Livorlnghouso's "discoveries" did not extend beyond the omitted Items , or ol o ho neglected to mention li In his letter. The board are wondering what explanation ho will make of that circumstance. TUB suw i.xws. There are live acts passed by the last legis lature that will not go into effect until August 1 , If the opinion of Attorney General Hastings holds good. The constitution pro vides that acts without an omorgonor clause shall not take effect until throe calendar months after the adjournment of tha legisla ture. Differences of opinion prevailed at the Blato house as to the Interpretation of the term "calendar months , " and the governor Informally asked the attorney gnnoral for an opinion. General Hastings holds that a cal- oudar mouth can only begin on the Urst dav nnd cud on the last day of the month , The legislature adjourned April 4. It U his opinion that the next calendar mouth dlii not begin until May 1 , and that the tbrco calen dar months will not bo ended until July 81. The governor will act on that Interpretation of the constitution , nnd U is pos- Ibla that a number ot appoint ments will bo delayed In consequence. The acts affected by this ruling are the ware house , the world's ' fair , the soldiers' homo , the eight-hour and the lloyd county laws. A IMUTNBlUIlll' O.IU1I1IKU It was thought that C. 11.

Possibility of the Missouri Hlvcr Male- Irii : Another Cutoff Discussed. Residents of East Omaha and Plorcnco precincts are takingan active Interest in the efforts being made by R. S. Berlin , Omaha's representative on the Missouri river commis sion to Induce the commission to take stops toward the protection of the lands Iving south and east of Florence from further damage - ago by the river. At the last meeting of the commission Mr. Berlin introduced a resolution , which was adopto' ' , instructing the assistant engineer in chnrg } of the works at Omaha "to examine the rigut bank of the Missouri river between Florence and a point opposite the dykes of the Northwestern railway company and report to the commission what danger , if any , exists of a cut-off through East Omaha , or what other necessity , If any , there may exist for protecting the bank referred to. " James Connolly , who has been working as an assessor in the territory affected by this proposition , reports that the property own ers are deeply Interested In the proposed Im provement. Ho says : "Tho river south of Florence has for a considerable time boon forcing its way south and wosfof Us original channel at u point directly north of Florence lake nnd It Is the well founded belief of nearly every ono In that neighborhood that a sudden heavy overflow may at any time prooiiiitato the course of the river and divert it from its present channel , force a passage for itself through Florence lake across by Cut-Off lake and through the many improvements made ur.il In contemplation m East Omaha. "Tho property owners nro much interested in this mutter and have had several confer ences on the subject. Some time ago they directed mo to communicate with Mr. Berlin and place all the facts before him. Mr. Berlin was already actIng - Ing In the matter nn his own bonalf , but stimulated by the extreme ur gency of the case ho has exerted hliujolt in every way to liavo the board net promptly. Ho thinks work will soon bo started which will effectually protect the bank of the river whore It is so dangerously threatened and preserve the present channel of the river. Western I'oiinloiiH.

BENNISON BROS SOUTH OMAHA'S HIGH SCHOOL , Safety of the Structure Threatened by aNew Now Grading Scheme. MAY HAVE TO ABANDON THE BUILDING. If the Street Is Cut ns Proposed , It Will Iicnvo the School 'JLhIrty Foot Above the Side- , wnllc. A petition is circulating among the prop erty owners , asking that the grade on L and Twenty-fourth streets bo changed. The proposed change of grade will entail an ex pense of $20,000 to $110,000 on the school dis trict , nnd then the property will have to bo condemned , as it will , bo utterly useless for school purposes. The high school is only a few years standIng - Ing , having boon built in 1837 at a cost of $35,000. Since then it has had several additions and renovations until JoO.OOO have boon expended upon it. Should the pe tition bo granted this magnificent piece of city property must bo abandoned. The street on which the school stands was graded a few years ago and a cut of some seventeen or eighteen feet made. The petitioners now request - quest the city fathers to Increase the cut six or eight foot more , thus raising the school nearly thirty foot above tbo level of the street. Should this demand bo agreed to It will ne cessitate the erection of a heavy stone wall to cost at least $10,000 In order to render the property anything like secure. In tha opinion of prominent mem bers of the school board this costly wall would bo at least but a temporary pro tection , and it would bo but a few years before fore the school would have to bo condemned ns unsafe. The grounds around the building nro small and parents would bo very chary about sending their children , as they would bo afraid of accidents. ! A child falling down this very stoop embankment would , In the language of the town J o a "do.ul duck. " When the city graded this street three years ago nearly all. . ho property owners aloucr it had to mortgage their property to pay the tax assessment , and if the proposed change of grade Is made they will all have to abandon their homes entirely. Onttle Innpuoilon. The inspection of 'tiattlo nt the South Omana yards has 16ng' been noted for its thoroughness. A notable Instance of this occurred last wook. ' " u A line Hereford stcorj'o'noof a bunch which arrived at thu South OmAba stock yards a few days ago , had a small lahlp on his upper Jaw. Ho became a subjoy flf moro than usual Interest. This steer was , the top of tbo bunch and ho owner assured bis commission man that the lump on thU steer's Jartr was caused by an Injury when it was n calf. It hod been there to his Knowledge for moro than n year , nnd hod not grown any during that time. Ho was positive it was only a thicken ing of the bono and should auy question nriso about it no wanted his interests pro tected. The experienced eyes of the yard Inspector detected this steer , and ho was isolated and condemned. The commission man entered a protest in the tntoroit of his patron , and called in n vntorlnory surgeon , who issued u certificate of soundness. The inspector re fused to release the steer on this showing. The management of the stockyards com pany called unothor veterinarian to have the steer carefully examined again. ThU vot- erlnarlan found the condition of this lump was such thata positive diagnosis could not bo mudo , but said the probability was that It was true lump juw ; that a IHJst-mortom examination would bo ro- iiulroa to make a positive diagnosis.

Nona of the slaughtering houses would buy tha steer subject to examination. They declined to hnvo anything to do with nn animal which did not recolvo the inspector's approval. The case was terminated by shooting the steer. The head was skinned and the tumor divided with n saw and it was examined by many interested in this caso. All were satisfied that it was lump jaw and the injury of the bouo theory was erroneous. A microscopic examination of the tumor showed it to bo genuine lump jaw or actinompcosls.

BENNISON BROS CARNES GETS FIRST BLOOD , Decision in the District Court in the Oil Inspector Oaso , MR. HEIMROD'S ' INJUNCTION DENIED , Ho Hns n Right , However , to Try the Oaso by Quo Wurrniito Pro- a DlHtrlut Court Notes. In the fight for authority to JiolO. the ofllco of state oil Inspootor , Edward C. Uarnrs won fl rst blood before Judges Doano and Davis yes terday morning. Louis Holmrod was appointed to the ofllco by Governor Doyd during his reign. Whan ho was ousti'd by the order of the supreme court , Hctimrod was removed by Governor Thavor and Carncs appointed to 1111 the vacancy , Holmrod vacated the ofllco In the state house and removed the books , or a portion ot them to this city , wboto ho opened an ofllco and continued to Inspect oils. Carnoi was doing the same thing at Lincoln until a lew weeks ago when Ilolmroil sued out a tem porary Injunction , restraining U.irnos from interfering with him In the discharge of his duties , alleging that ho had bcu.i . duly ap pointed by Governor Hoyd and h id not bean removed according to law , The case was argued liofnro Judges Doano uml Davis and this morning an opinion was lundnrcd by which the application for a permanent In junction was denied. The court reviewed the ctiso from Us In- coptlon and quoted n number of decisions bearing upon the points at Issue , all of which wcro to the olToct that the district court Is nit the proper place to tent the tltlo of tha olllco. The only question then to be consid ered , has the court a right to interfere by injunction with an o Ulcer , who apparently is In the rightful discharge of his duties ) Carnos has his credential * nnd apparently has a legal right , to perform the duties of thu otllco of state oil Inspector , but in tills con nection Ileimroil also bus n certificate- mi tliorlty. lioth BO being clothed with power , the court cannot go Into the question of who Is oil inspector In fact. This question th& court stated that It had not examined , as there Is a remedy for the aggrieved party to pursue. Thu attorneys for Hoimrott state that the matter has not ended. They will now go into the courts and ask for a decision as to who Is entitled to the ollicu. Court Judge Davis handed down a decision In Mio case of the Koblnsou notion company against O. A. Stonohill. Years ago both linns re sided In Miir.shalltowti , la. Htonehill rented a Btoru of the Koblnson people and became indebted to them In the sum of fiX ( ) . Ho of- ferred to pay the amount , but was miod for 31,100. The case wont to a referee , who re ported a judgment of ? l-X ! ( ) uu'iilimt Stonehill , Judge Davi reviewed the cum ) , sot nslilo the report of the referee unn rendered judgment for the amount of thu original bill. With the exception of those who are now engaged In cases on trial , the jurors who wore summoned three weeks ago worn this morning discharged. Monday morning the third division of the jury will report and remain - main until the adjournment of the May term of court. In Judge Ferguson's room the cnso of Thompson and the Omaha National bunk is being heard by thu jury that reported on the Urst dav of the term. This case was com menced before the tint division of the jury was discharged and luut boon on trial ever since. _ Dr. Dlrnoy euros cntnrrn. Boo bid ?
