LINCOI.K , Nob. , Juno 20. [ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
The commission man ugreod to have tha
animal slaughtered providing ho could gel

fair value for the carcass of the steer If the
lump proved to bo only an enlargement ol
the bono which ho believed It to bo. 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.

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. _

Gen Schoflcld appears to have boon as val

wears a handsome ring that the cominnndor-
In-ehlof of thu army gave her iomo tlmo ago
