Cement Hock : In Nohrnslcu.
The commissioners of labor are anxious to
enter into correspondence with all nartioi in
Nebraska owning quarries of cement rock.
A syndicate from Now York stands ready to
negotiate with nil such parties with a view
to the establishment of cement factories.
Two such quarries are known to exist in
Nobraskii , one at Beatrice and one at Sidney.
The Beatrice quarry w. s at one lime oper
ated , but the high prico'of coal ami the rates
of transportation prevented the profitable
manufacture at the time. Commissioners
Luddcn ano Downs have taken nn active
interest in the matter and It is piobablo that
the manufacture of cement at Beatrice will
bo resumed under the mo t favorable aus
pices. Thu railroad companies have already
agreed to establish commodity rates on the
manufactured product , nnd arrangements
have been perfected for bringing In steam
coal nt a moU reasonable rate.

An Important case , which has been pending
ing for two years , came up in District Judge
Field's court today. The plaintiffs are Fred
W. Gray and others , while the city ol
Lincoln is the defendant. The plaintiffs had
the contracts for paving districts 1 and 2
with cedar blocks , mid they claim a balance
duo them on tholr contract of &U.307 , with
interest from September 23 , lt > bU. The
plaintiffs claim to be special partners for the
purpose of tilling this contract only , and the
llrm Is composed of Nuuclo & Gray , who
furnished the blocks. Murphy , who did the
work , mid II. T. Clark and L. C. Burr , who
furnished the capital. S. B. Pound appears
for Burr , whuo tno remaining members of
the llrm are represented bv C. \Vbeodon ,

counterclaim , a balance alleged to bo duo
from H. 1\ Clark on u deal by which Unit
gentleman acted ns agent of tlia city In dis
posing of a certain amount of paving bonds.
The other members of the llrm deny their
liability in that transaction. The case prom
ises to be one of the most hotly contested
legal battles ever waged in Lincoln.
Hard Ilonil to Travel.
L. li. Coy has discovered that the way
through tbo divorce court , like the celebrated
highway to Jordan , is a rocky road to travel.
Some time ago ho Illnil u petition for u di
vorce from his wife Anna F. on the grounds
of unfaithfulness. This afternoon Auna tiled
a cross-petition in which she shows up the
past conduct of her erstwhile lord and master
in a most unenviable light. She aavs that he
lias neglected to provide for her "and that
she has been compelled te take in washing in
enter to feed and clothe herself nnd child ,
while all the time Coy was earning a good
salary. Shu further alleges that ho has en
gaged In iho most disguitlng Intrigues wltb
other women and that ho has constantly an
noyed her by tolling her about it. Slid denies
all of the charges nmdo In his original peti
tion nnd winds up by asking for a reasonable
alimony und the custody of their child.

SLOAN'S \VKKm B AIIF.
Blio ObjcutH to Having Olllucrs Upon
tlor Imvo Letters.
D. R. Long of Fremont believes that ho
has a grievance that should bo righted by
the United States court. He has consulted
Attorney Btiltor about the matter and tils
grievance will bo laid before the United
States grand Jury.
Mr. Long claims that his family hai boon
drugged before the public In u disgraceful
manner by the publication of the fact that
his daughter corresponded with Sloan , the
Foiitunolle murderer now In jail at Blair.
Sloan's biding place In Imv.i WHS said to
have been discovered bv the interception of a
letter which ho hint wrltto.i to Miss Long.
The girl's father now doilros to have Josh
King and other ivirilos , who are supposed to
have opened the letter , prosecuted.
United Stales Attorney linker assured Mr.
Long thai If the grand jury should return
bill of Indictment against King or
anybody else for tampering with.
Miss Long's letter before It had been taken
* ' < t of the poatoulco ho .would prosecute with
all his cnorgy , but ho doubtca Tory much
whether the grand Jury would consider the
caiosnrloU5 enough to Juttif ; the finding of
nn Indictment. The fact that a murderer had
bean caught by the Intercepting of the
letter , bo bollov'cd , would go a long ways
toward mitigating the oflonso of meddling
with the tnilli.
Mr. Dakar said ho would nw.ilt the action
of the grand Jury. Ho would not take the
responsibility nf ordering nn arrest , for in his
estimation a conviction would bo very hard to
obtain in such a case.

With tlio Klre and Police Commission.
All of the members of the Board of Publlo
Works attended the meeting hold yesterday
afternoon.
Major Furay who , ns a committee of one ,
had boon before the Fire and Pollco com
mission , was ready with his report. Ho pre
sented himself for the purpose of asking the
co-operation of that body in nn cllort to com
pel grading contractors to use tlgbi boxes
wliou hauling dirt over paved streets. The
major said that ho had boon received very
klnaly , In fact ho had been received in such
n manner that ho was fully convinced that
the members of the Fire and Pollco com
mission were without spot or blomlsh
there were no crnws' nests lingering about
tholr persons , and in their own estimation
they were as fine-haired eonttomen as
lie had soon for many a long dar.
Ho felt happy in Knowing that ho got away
with his life , at ho was sat upon by sovor.il
members.
The high toned Cody had attached all of
the blame to the Boird of Public Works.
The major had denied this In emphatic terms ,
whereupon Mr. Hurtman had said that the
contractor had left Farnnm street , atj.Iliirt.v-
thlrd , In such it condition that iho street rail
way company had been compelled to put on a
force of men with picks nnd shovels In order
to clear the street for the passage of its cars.
To this Major Furay had replied that In all
such cases estimates had been withheld until
the streets had been cleared.
To make a long story short , ho had received
no encouragement. Ho thought the fault lay
tn the Police department. Cnlef Scavoy hud
lold him that men had boon arrested for violating
lating the dirt hauling ordinance , but when
they got into police court the cases had al
ways boon dismissed.
Engineer Tilhon thought the ordinance
was good enough if enforced.
"That's It , " replied Major Furay , "we've
got the ordinance , but wo lack a police court ,
and I want to tell you that in any well regu
lated city one-half of tjio men who are
now hauling dirt from the now postofllco
block would bo arrested and fined. They use
wagons with loose bottoms and the streets
over which they pass aie nothing but a sou
of mud. "
The major was commended for the sbo.v-
ing that ho made before the commissioners
and also for retreating In such splendid order.
The board had aslicd for proposals for
curbing Twenty-second street from Popple-
ton avenue to the south line of the govern
ment corral , but there wore no bids.
The contract for constructing the sewer in
Sprague street from Twenty-fourth to Thir
tieth street , was awarded to Ilamann & Mc-
Dotmld at ! > , ' ! cents for eight-Inch pipe , ? 3.75
for manholes and $3 for Hush tanks.
Callcraph operators are convinced thatlif o

Lieutenant William B. Hughes , chief

liaco with Captain G. F. Nowport-Tinloy of
the First Bombay lancers ( "Duke of Con-
nautrht's Own" ) . Captain Tinlev is a son of
Major General Robert Nowport-Tinloy of the
British nrrny. Both families are dis
tinguished. Miss Hughes Is a great-grand
daughter of Colonel Thomas H. Bentou of
the United States. She is highly ar-com-
pllshcd nnd very beautiful. The approach
ing wedding is creating a pleasant ripple of
excitement in army circles
Major Emil Adam of the Sixth cavalry has
boon removed from Fort Niobrura to Fort

Major Edgar U. Kellogg of the Eighth in
fantry has been relieved from duty nt Fort
\Vashakio nnd will proceed to Fort McKm-
ney and take station nt that post. It will bo
remembered that Major Kellogg is the odlcor
who preferred charges against Captain Hay
and ordered him arrested. Tho" fact that
Captain Itny was released from arrest by
command of General Brooke and Major Kel
logg Is now transferred to another post may
bo read pretty clearly as being In Captain
Uay's favor by these familiar with army dis
cipline.

weekly review of trade says :
A wcok broken by a holiday has shown the
usual characteristics \voak speculation , no
tivo retail niul motlorato wholoialo buslnojs.
Ilut the great factors which go to tnaiio
national prosperity are unaltered. At Boston
the markets are stonily. At Hartford it is
dull for dry poods and material * , but good
for groceries and hardware. At Philadelphia
tboro is a moderate activity la dry goods and
in dress goods and hosiery , aud a bolter fool-
ing prevails , At Plttsburg pig Iron is wo.ikcr ,
but manufactured iron and steel are In good
demand unit the glass tratio fair. At Cleve
land tradu 11 good in all lines , executing a
a loss uomand for manufactured Iron. At
Detroit business Is equal to last yojr's and
and manufacturers are active. At Cincin
nati rctnll tradois improvingaud manufactur
ers are fairly employed. At Cliloago some decrease -
crease Is seen In cured moats , lard , butter and
chcojo , but tlioro Is a alight increase in bar-
lov , ' , ' 0 per cent In Hour , the week's trade
being the largest of the year , an increase of
a third in cattlu and oats , of a half in hides ,
and receipts of dressed beef and corn urn
double lust year's , and of rye and wheat
tbroo times last year's. Merchandise sales
also largely exceed those of last year and
prosnects uro fuvoraole. There is the same
conlldenco In St. Paul , us cold woathorstimu-
latus trade , and Minneapolis sawmills have
cloiud the largest reason on record , while
Hour mills , though troubled by Ice , turn out
J-'S.OOU barmls dully. At Milwaukee trade is
satisfactory , but larger with the west , whore
crops and tnonoy are plenty. At Kansas City
there Is healthy activity , and cattle audgrain
receipts improve. At "Denver trade li very
good , but at Salt Lake it Is dull , with slow
collections. Southern cities report better ;
at Nashville and Montgomery , fair trade ; at
Charleston , good , with improving exports ; nt
New Orleans , receipts of cotton ana sugar
are large anil both in good demand , and Sa
vannah alone reports present trade light and
money no easier , but orosnocts bright.
Speculation during the past week hus not
DOC 11 active hero , but a corner at Chicago has
put up corn for Immediate delivery ! ! c and
pork Is 'Joe higher ; onts l ! c , and wheat flva-
olghts of a cent per bushel higher , while cot
ton anil sugar are verv heavy. The receipts
of cotton exceed those of the same week last
year by 50,000 , and exports by Itt.OlM bales ,
but the stock In the country at the times Is
mote than 8.000,000 bushels for the full week
and exports have been 1,300,000 bushels of
wheat nlano from Atlantic ports for three
days of the present week. Corn Is coming
forward fairly and after November a sharp
decline in price Is oxpoctod.
Cil nnd coffee show no considerable change.
The volume of speculation in most Hues is
fortunalolv so restricted that legitimate busi
ness and tbo movement of products are not
at present classed.
In the great industries tbo outlook is im
proved. There is a better demand for Iron.
On the whole there ore evidences of enor
mous consumption already , nearly equal to
the production , with prospects of an Increase
next year. Tno market for copper is unset
tled , tin is slightly higher , lead unchanged
and coal dull , wittt a50,000 tons allotted for
Doconioer.
Tbo market for woolen goods distinctly
improves with colder weather , though some
holders make light concessions on old stocks.
Cotton goods are fairly active , though print
cloths accumulate.
Money is comparatively easy and collec-
ticns fair.
The exports of products In four
weolcs at Now York have exceeded
last year's by $7J(51,4S3 ( in value ,
Indicating an aggregate for the month
probably exceeding 95,000,000 , nnd nt the
same time there is a decrease of 10 par cent
ir. the value of imports. There is certain to
ho very largo balances payable on merchan
dise account by Europe , and much anxiety
appears In some quarters as to how
tlie strain abroad will bo met , but
thus fur there are no signs of
trouble except in speculative quarters.
It is to bo remembered also that this county-
is at present unusually independent of for
eign disasters or disturbances.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days
numbered 20. ) , as compared with a total of

Nnw YOUR , Nov. 37. Bradstreot's finan
cial review says :
While the foreign financial situation shows
some ultoratlon and that tboro has been a
marked Improvement abroad in some of tbo
government securities which have furnished
cause for apprehension , u does uot &eem that
the unsettling influences have disap
peared. Indeed I urci > o took a compar
atively limited part in this market , and
on the whole sold as much as It bought.
Some unfavorable comment is aroused by the
oDstliiato tlrumcas ot uxcuango rates auu the
practical conation lof gold Imports. The
general totidonuy of tl o mutKot has boon in
the direction of improvement. It cannot bo
sntd that the bullishness ii of an
aggrcsslvo kind. Ih" " fact , the principal
Advances that were scored were in
the stocks which haihboun sold hoavllr short
by tha bj.irs , and thn upward movement ,
would therefore seem to rolloct the fears Of
the profcssionnls rather than any Influx of
buying by the "street" or the nubile. At the
same tlmo the case ot money , with a steady
Increase In the In vestment demand for bondi ,
( Hipplotnonts thn forort'of the largo trafllo and
earnings returns which the railroads almost
without oxcoptlon are making , or of such sic-
nilliiint occurrences as the declaration ( niter
seven years'suspension , ) of a dividend on
Erie preferred ( encourages favorable antici
pations. As u result , oThllo the tunruot Is
narrow , It also tends to show docldod
strength , and the general speculative fooling
loans In the direction of a bullish clojo to
the current year. 'Ihls was particularly dis
played on Friday when thp unexpected an-
nouncouicntof the failure of Flold , Lludloy
& Co. cro.-Uod only n rlpplo and a temporary
depression , from which the market quickly
recovered , closing llrm.
The coal stocits were again the most prom
inent features. The boars continued their
attack on the group , but mot with nu unex
pected obstacle to progress In the shape of
the coal agents' mooting to settle the produc
tions for the month of Dacomber. The meetIng -
Ing was harmonious. The output for thu
month was reduced to 3r > AUJ0 ) tons , and
Homing was sniu nuout , ito.iuing's uoniann
for nn Increased percentage. The lone
neglected Omaha stocks became prominent
on reports of an increased dividend rate.
Minneapolis & St. Louis wus also the subject
of n bull movement. Tlio Gould shares
were stonily , Pacific Mail showing some
support. Among tno specialties , Whiskey
trust was conspicuous , being marked
up and then allowed to dcclino. Talk of a
contest for control in the Suirar com
pany gnva some interest to the trading In It.

Does it Contain Ammonia
The charge is being made that the Royal Baking
Powder contains ammonia. We would have supposed that
the emphatic condemnation of ammonia baking powders

by the mdfct ; eminent physicians throughout the land , and
i i
the fact o .the . three leading chemists of Minnesota mak-
XI
ing their report to the Senate Committee recently showing
i
that bread 'baked ' with the "Royal" contained ammonia I
i\ i *
and the hostility now being manifested by. the public
against all ; ammonia and alum baking powders would have
driven them permanently from the market.
*
In view of the fact that Baking Powder has become
an indispensable article in every kitchen , it is gratifying
to know that there are brands in the market to which no
suspicion of any kind has ever attached. Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder is a pure cream of tartar powder
free from every taint of ammonia , alum or other harmful
substance
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia ,
Alum , or auy other adulterant. In fact , the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques
tioned.

JUDGE CRAWFORD AFTER JUDGE-MORRIS.
Points onVhloli the Kleetion in tlio
ICi < ; litli Juiliuial District is Sup
posed to Millie Was Gjrry-
iiiiunlorcd.
Hon. W. F. Norrls of Poncn , jmlfjo of the
Eighth judicial district , Is in the city aiiU
stopping at , tlio Millard.
TUo Judge was u candidate for ro-eicction
on the republican and independent tickets ,
and the ofllclal returns give him n majority
ofSlivotcn. His oluction Is to be contested ,
however , by the democratic candidate , Judge
J. C. Caawford of West Point.
"I have bad no olllcial notice of n contest , "
said Judge Nonis , when allied about the
matter , "nor huvo I been served with a copy
of a complaint , but I have boon told that contest -
test proceodines have boon begun , and presume -
sumo that iho report is correct. My
only knowledge of the questions raised
by Judge Crawford comes from hearsay. I
am told that ho will raise the point that the
Winnobag-o Indians on tlio reservation in
Thurston county are not qualillod to vole.
The Dawos bill , under which they were sup
posed to Imvo Ruined citizenship , provides ,
ns. precedent thereto , that 'they must sever
their trlb.il relations and take lands in sever
ally. ' The Ornnhas have taken tholr allot
ments of land and received patents therefor.
I understand that the Winiiobapoes have met
nil the conditions of the Dawos bill , but lor
some unuxnlained reason have not received
patents for tlioirlnnds They had been vot-
ini ; without question previous to the rccont
election , und 1 have hud some of them serv
ing on my juries. The Winnobagoos have
about HOU votes and they irnvo mo a majority
of sixty-nine , so that If their entire vote bo
thrown out I will still have a majority in the
district.
"I am also tola that Judge Crawford will
sot up a number ot technical irregularities.
In Dlxon county my name was printed on the
ballots in two places , once as a republican nnd
on co as an independent candidate. On some
of the ballots a cross wus marked opposilo
inv name in both places , nnd Jndgo Crawford
will hold that such votes should not bo
counted for mo. Then , ngaln , on sorao bal
lots my noino was printed 'William P. Norris -
ris , ' and on others 'W. F. Norns. '
"Tho contest , if there bo any , will como
up in the supreme court of the stato. That
body has hold that an Indian has no prltna
ficio riglit to vote. In Iho WHO of the Winno-
Dagoes , therefore , the bunion of proof will
fall upon mo. I will have to show that they
have compiled with the congressional act nnd
are full-Hedged clti/.ons. "
This Is tho. sncond time that judge Norrts
has defeated Judge Crawford. At the last
session of the legislature the democrats suc
ceeded in having the district cerrynmudei'cd ,
nnd tlio frequent presence of .ludL'o Craw
ford in Lincoln during that session is com
mented on as signlflcant. Wnyno county ,
which is naturally a republican stronghold ,
was taken from the district , which now cir
cles around that county something in the
shape of an irregular horseshoe.
