Ottonhoimcr , the clothing morcnant who was Drought up before Judge Smith a coupto of weeks ago charged wltu contempt of court in trying to evade legal process by smuggling his goods out of his back door to Omaha at , midnight , was do- elded bv the court yesterday. The decision contai > but llttlo comfort for Ottcnheimer , and ho Is now rustling around to got tbo money to keep him from stay ing In the hotel of which Sheriff Hazen is the now landlord , when the cnso was on trial tbo fact was brought out by Ottouhoitncr's testimony that ho had received $170.05 in cash aud two notes of S-VX ) each from a man named Solomon of Suit Lake , U. T. , to whom ho claimed he hud sold the goods. Ho was unabla to account for any part of this amount , and on cross-examination his testi mony contradicted Itself in n very interest ing manner. Judge Smith In his decree ap points Sheriff Hazen receiver for the part of the proceeds of the sale unaccounted for , ana orders Uttonhoimor to turn over to him the money. In default of payment being made as di rected , bo orders the sheriff to take him In charge for an indefinite length of tlmo , and to conllno him in the county jail for con tempt. In making the decision , however , the judge remarked that the clause relating to Imprisonment would have no particular effect , at least until Ottotihelmur had had plenty of time to got the necessary funds to gether. T. C. Dawson , attorney for the do- fcnso , gave notice that the case would bo ap pealed to the supreme court , so that In all probability Mr. Ottcnholmor will not bo com pelled to slcop in the county jail at present.

It is evident that some ono Is committing n f rlous blunder , that may have n disastrous ending. It Is now cortnln that nrriMt * will bo peaceably in ado wheuovnr the man wanted can be found , for the presence of n soldier Is a great persuader. So far the prisoners are practically un provided with bedding , although the nights are severely cold , and it will soon bo impos sible for the town to feed them , so they must bo kept alive on the rations Issued to the troops. Colonel Roberts bus sent word to Sprlnaficld that ho will receive no more prisoners If they arc not provided with bedding when sent here. This order has bcoiuir.iwn out by a very apparent necessity. Ilo Is considering the advisability of ordering an other company from the eastern or crntrnl part of the stnto so as to have sufllciont pro tection in ca o of nn attack. Ho will prob ably do so tomorrow , as bo has the authority from tho'govcrnor. It was Decennary todav to get out of the county two detectives who , HS members of the alliance , became members of the vigil ance organization that killed Dunn. Their lives are worth but little ni they have given tbo information that leads to the wholesale ( suing of warrants of arrest. By morning both will bo in places of safety , oiili-t tit Spring-Meld. At Sprlngllold all Is quiet , although the contest case is now going an to determine the fight for sheriff. Tno alllunca candidate was counted In by a majority of thirteen , but frauds In counting the votes in this , Seward county , are not now things , nnd the recount ing shows that false returns wcro made from ono township sufilclcnt to change the actual result. Guy man , the sheriff- elect , and who escaped when Dunn was killed , went over today , and the probabili ties are that ha will qualify , although alii- nnco members of the people's party have declared that ho would never live until the IStu. the day ho should go Into oftlco. Having protection , ho probably will at least enter upon the discharge ) of his duties though how long bo will last Is B problem that no insurance company would bo found willing to plaro n risk upon. What ever the outcome , and thocnd will bo reached this week , now fuel will bo added to the llamo now smouldering. Another and new feature hns been added. William V. Dunn , the 17-ycnr-ola son of Sheriff Dunn , will return lioro Saturday after his father's burial for the purpose of settling up mutters , as ho says , with a quiet but dangerous look In his eyes. lliimlcil Together Tor AViiKrnnor , The six men who escaped at the canyon battle have openly declared that they will hunt to death every man concerned in the disgraceful affair , and young Dunn has joined them. They feel bitterly tbo murder , and this fooling Is Intensified by the knowledge that the body of the murdered sheriff was robbed of arm * , wat-jh , jewelry and money , proving that outlawry , In fact , must bo dealt with. Tliero is the same feeling that followed the Wood's murder prevalent that the guilty parties will eventually escape unless sum mary justice is administered. Winiif A , Kan. , Jan. 7.

"Mutlitiiiti I'awirt. " There is comic opera and comio opera. For several years past wo have hod a deal of a sortthat is llttlo batter than burlesque sot to tunes. Ono of Its cblof ofllcos Is to afford a vehicle for knock-about comedians and port soubrettes to perform their antics with an accompaniment to inane timo. Horse play masquerades us comedy , and the music is secondary. In "Madamo Favart , " now running at the Boyd , wo have a return to the genuine ar ticle , and those who bollavo In maintaining the dignity of. the arts must bo disposed to lend it the encouragement of a kindly con sideration. The opera is the produos of Of fenbach , and , while tbo llrat act Is some what dull and slow , the other two are tilled with merry measures , many of thoin bright nnd tuneful. The secret of Miss Pauline Hall's vogue In New York some years ago Is not apparent from her Madame Fuvart , which , mayhap , does not give hijr full opportunity to display her musical abilities. While there was nothing remarkable In Miss Hall's effort last evening she sang with spirit und evidently pleased her audience. In the last act she rendered her part In a duet brilliantly , and , barring a stiffness in dramatic action , her ovonmg's work nil ! pass ns agreeable and acceptable. George C. Don ) face , jr. , nn old favorite , takes the role of Chariot Favart. The lines do not afford much opportunity for a com edian and ho helped thorn out with a some what exaggerated action and a nasal drawl that Is reminiscent of Louis Harrison. Of course It Is possible to bo hypocritical about this , but , really , It oversteps the limit so very little and after all , who ox poets abso lute consistency or fidelity to life In comic oporn. Mr. Uonlfaco's cleverness was un doubtedly ono of the chief enjoyments of the performance. ! ! ! part called for very llttlo singing. John Brand Is a virile baritone with a good volca and fair acting and made a pleasant contrast to the customary effeminate tenor. William ninlsdoll hardly grained the possi bilities of the noble rouo he was called on to portray , and occasionally forgot to maintain the semblance of senility , but it is a bit re markable that ho did NO well , for ho Is only ! M , Ho Interpolates a song , "When I Was aHoy Hey , " that discredits the performance and odds nothing to his reputation. Tbo chorus was strong and well drilled. The costuming was rich and handsome with out being gorgeous. The orchestration was by the musicians connected with the theater and deserves special commendation , Taken as a whole "Madamo Favart" is interpreted by a capable company nnd makes an enter tainment calculated to give very general satisfaction. _ "A Ilim-cl < if Money. " The American stage Is responsible for much that is peculiar , much that Is wildly lurid , but "A Barrel of Money" quite caps the climax of nightmare effects with a stationary ongloo , an Immense llv wheel , and the belting upon which the poor and friendless heroine Is lashed by the desperate demon of the play.

[ Hy Mexican Cable to the S'bw Yoric Herald Special to Tin : HKK.J A most tragic scene was enacted In this city this morning at the execution of Jesus Bruno Martinez for the murder ot an old jeweler named Hernandez iu the callo do 1'rofcsa about a year ago. 1'rofcsa street is ono or the most prominent thoroughfares of the city , nnd at 7 o'clock In the ovontng Martinez and four men entered Hcrnando/'s store , gagging nnd pinioning tile old man , who was taken Into nn inner apartment and placed upon un iron col. Ho made a nolso and Martinez entered und killed him by stubbing him eleven times. After this the store was looted of its valuable contains. The city was shocked over the crime as It seldom Is , and within two months Martlno/ and his companions hud been captured nnd sentenced , Martinez to death and bis ac complices to from sixteen to nineteen years' imprisonment. This morning Martinez was executed in Bolcra prison under the following startling circumstances : Tried Another .Murder. The prisoner , on being conducted to the place of execution , gave the customary cm- braro to the judge who had sentenced him und the prison oftlclals. Then , complaining of being cold , ho was handed a blanket. Ho then stopped toward Miguel Cabrera , chief of the secret service police , who had been Instrumental In bringing him to justice , ap parently to glvo him Information concerning whore the unrocovored jewelry irom the robbovy was hidden. As soon as ho had reached n convenient spot near Cabrera , ho said : "They are well placed In Puento BlancoHo had hardly said this before Caorcra noted a movement of his arm , as If to take something from under the blanket. Suddenly Marline/ threw tbo blanket aside , disclosing n lonp Knife which , sa quick ns lightning , ho attempted to plunge into the breast of Cabrera. The latter sprang backward , receiving the knife of his assassin In the muscles of his left arm instead of the breast. Caorera ran awuy with Martinez close on his heels. Cabrera's hat fell off , and the soldiers who took up the pursuit nearly buyonottcd him , believing ho was Martinez. As It was ho was cut in the ncok. Determined to Uncapc , Martinez , finding that It was useless to pursue Cabrera , jumped Into a smull ditch nnd ran toward one of the walls that is in course ot construction , butwas hit by a gun in the bands of a soldier. This did not stop him , and ho reached the wall , which ho des perately attempted to scale , , but was balked. Major Manuel Guticrci Scamora and Mig uel Alenria had a terrible light with Marti nez before they worq abe to disarm him , and before the battle was over Matino/ bad knocked tbo latter dovynr his Unlfo imssini : through the ofllcor's overcoat. After this scouo Martinez pleaded for his lifofov bis mother's sake , > nnd was told that no one present could Interfere to prevent sentence being carried out. Ilo thnn nskod that his mother bo sent for. so she could see him die. This was ulso refused and ho was conducted touplaco n ar. ho wall , where bo uus bhot. Died Dead ( iuuie. Ho refused to have nls eyes bandaged nnd told the gend'armos df-the'guard after the officer in command had given the order for them to level their -guns that ho would give the word to tire nnd in effect did so after placing his hands over his heart by saying "Fuogo. " The guns were fired at the prls- oner's command and nftor spinning around several times hu fell. Tno bullets that penetrated his body not having caused his death ) a holalor stopped forward and gave the "tiro do garcia , " but still life was not extinct. Two more bullets were shot Into his prostrate body before the physician pronounced him dead. The body was placi'd on a litter nnd re moved from the court. 3Io < lern Koclul Sluimx. When a Woman listens to what color fashion dictates shall bo her hair , she pives car to nn element in our modern lifa.that is making society more nnd insincere every 'day , writes Dr. Tul- mage in the January Ltulies' Homo Journal. I sometimes stop to marvel what this element called "fashion' ' lias done. Through its teachings its de votees are made so iiisincoro' that you scarcely know when toboliovo them and when. not. They ask you to "como and call , " and you do not know whether or not they really want you or not. When they bond their rcgjirds you do not know whether it is an expression of their heart , or an external civility. Ono louriis to take almost everything said by these people at a discount. Word is sent , "not at homo , " when they are only too laxy to dress themselves. They sny "tho furnace has just gene out. " when in truth they had no fire in it all winter. They apologize for the unusual barrenness of their table when they never live any bolter. They doory their most luxurious ontorlnin- ments to win a shower of approval. They apologi/.o for their appearance , as though it woio unusual , when always nt homo they look just so. They would make you believe that some niuo sketch on the wall was thn work of a master naintor. On a small incouio this "fash- Ion" practically teaches us that we must mnko the world believe that wo are aflluont , and our lifo becomes a cheat , a counterfeit , and a sham. A Allied Up I'ainlly.

I'liiln I'lmlui HIM Dl co\cred the Source of the Ither.Mle. London Times : These who nro inter- o9tcd _ in the geography of Atrica will rojolco in the eccentric wanderings of Kmin Pasha , for according to the latest news ho has solved the world-old prob 1cm of the ultiinato sout'co of the Nile However , wo have hoard the cry so of ten durinir the last thirty years lhat we must receive the news from Kmlii Pasha with some reserve. According to tlio information which has reached lierlin , Einiu Push and Dr. Stuhlmann , travel ing in the region botweuu Lakes Via- torln , Tanganyika and Albert Kdwnrd- have discovered a now river named Kifu. This river , which it Is concluded has its sources in the Uhlui nomilrv. ly ing to the cast of the north part of Lake Tanganyika , about -lc of south latituo , would have a course of from " 120 to 250 miles , and Hews into the south end of Lnko Albert Kdward. It is not stated that Em in and Dr. Stuhlmann have actually followed the course of the river. They have no doubt encountered it on their journey from Victoria Nyair/.a towards the other lake and followed It down to its mouth. If the course which they lay down for it is correct , it will compel us to alter the hydrography on our maps of this region. There is no mention of the Lake Kifu , between Tanganyika and Albert Ed ward to bo found in existing maps ; and it is well known that the African na tives rarely distinguish between a river and a Inko Nyan/.n , in the language of Central Africa , standing for both. The still larger lake , Akanyaru or Alexan dra Nyanzn , as Mr. Stanley named jt , may p'robably also have been removed. No white traveler , so far as known , had over scon it ; Mr. Stanley placed It down on his map from native report. It may simply bo an expansion of the Kifu , and not the source of the Kagora , o which flows into the west side of Victoria Nytumi. The Kagora will thus lose much of its importanoo as a remote feeder of the Nile , and the Kifu may possibly become its southerly source. But it should bo remembered that when Mr. Stanley was marching north ward to Victoria Nyanza in his great journey across Africa ho came upon a river iu about 5 ° south latitude which ho believed flowed into the south shore of the lake under the name of Shimooj'ii. Mr. Stanley struck this river at only ono or two points , und these may really have belonged to difVoront rivers. At all events on the most recent maps tha Shimooyu is sharply deflected to the east from its mouth in the lake , and llioro is no river rising in 5 ° south lati tude which flows into the Victoria Ny- anza. Probably wo have not hoard the " last word about"the ultiinato sources of this strange river , about the position of which Ptolemy after all was not so far wrong. Wo have first the Kifu rising in about 4 ° south latitude , run- hing into Lake Albert Edward , issuing thence as the Somliki , and feeding Lake Albert There it mingles with the Vic toria Nile from L'iko Victoria , n nd to gether they issue from Lake Alb'ort as the White Nile , which , before it reaches Khartum is augmented by a multitude of tributaries ftorn the west. Whether the Shimeoyu or the Kifu bo its most remote southern feeder , the river Hews through 30 ° of latitude. The full details of this journey of Emin will bo awaited with interest , especially if ho continues to fill the blanks on our maps and complete our knowledge of ono of the most remarkable rivers of the world.

There is nobody to whom this country Is under greater obligations than to tlio pioneer sottlcr who braves the hardships of tbo fron- .Icr and builds up American civilization In the wilderness. The farm that is promised : o such a settler when he shall have created is value by his own exertions Is small com pensation for the live years of toll and Isola tionfrom human society , required to perfect a claim. It Is due to the pioneer that when ho ins completed the hard conditions on which : iU homestead is promised to him ho shall re ceive bis re ward without unnecessary trouble or delay. The government means that this shall bo accomplished , but its intentions ara often better than its execution. The huge mill of tbo general land office , with Its whirling maze of wheels within wheels , can mvo no personal relations with individuals. It can deal only with facts of record , and It deals with these by wholesale. The govern ment means to do the tair thing by honest settlers , but how is it to know which are lonettl That has been a hard question. In the dis posal of the public lands , more than in al most any other part of Its work , the govern ment has been tbo prey of swindlers. It has joon robbed by speculators of hundreds of millions of acres that it meant to reserve for settlors. And so In self defense It has been compelled to adopt the rule ot treating every nan as a rascal until ho has proven himself lonost. This gives the simple homesteader a rather : ough road to travel. If a meddling or ma- Iclous neighbor chooses to question tbo good faith of bis location on bis land , the progress of his claim comes to u stop in the general and ofllco and It takes u skilled Washington attorney to start It forward. But how Is the ' iloneor'ln his cabin among the sequoias of .ho Sierras or in bis dugout on the blizzard swept plains of North Dakota to Know whtro to loolc for u skilled Washington attorney , and especially for ono who Is trustworthy and reasonable in hi ! charges } The case of a settler who finds his claim blocked through some technicality that threatens tbo loss of its home offers the strongest posslnlo appeal : o public sympathy. If there Is any way of lelnlug such a settler tbero ought to bo no icsltutlon In making use of It. Tin : fliiK Bureau of Claims wo.i organized to afford assistance In Just such cuses. It iilncos the Inhabitants of the remotest valley of the west on an equality with the resident , of Washington. It assures every man who lias honestly complied with the land laws of tlio United States prompt attention to his claim on the part of tbo authorities , and In almost every case a favorable decision. It dons all this for a fco which an ordinary lawyer would charge for merely giving ad vice , and asks no payment until the patent is actually Issued.

( Juror Names lor I'olltlcul I'lirtlen , Baltimore American ; In 1811 there was n split in the democratic party , the more radical nnd progressive section of Now York calling ItHult the Young Uomocracy or "Uarnhurnors , " whllo the other , of conbcrvativo Ideas , was known as "Hunkers. " The former identified itself in 1818 with the "Frcio Hollera , " who advocated the abolition of slavery wherever congress had the constitu tional right to do BO the rioh-in- terforonco of congress with the slave states , but the prohibition of slavery in the territories. The name "Barnburn ers" IH naid to bo derived from the story of a Dutchman who rid his barns of rats by burning them down , tlio 'Uarnburn- era" advocating the pxtnrnilnntlon of banks and corporations to root out the abutics It was alleged they exorcised , The name "Hunker" comes from the slang word "hung , " homo , the original derivation being the Dnoth word 'honk. " Another derivation is from hunka or chunks , the upolls of oftlco , the party wan possessed of. This parly was so called for its adherence to homesteader or old principle ! * . In 1818 , when ulTorts wore made to rounlto the Uas nnd Van Huron democracy , the Cuss Hunker * of the national school of politics were the Hards or Hardshell * , favoring stroncly the execution ol the ftifiltlvo slave law ; the Softs , who wanted union at any price , but also were also anti-slavery at this time , in cluding the roiiiiinnta of the Van Huron nnd Adams party of IHI8.
