The University of Omahn wound up the
roost successful year of Its existence with the
ninth annualcommencement , exercises , held
in the college chapel at Bellevue yesterday
morning.
The early trams brought In detachments of
visitors , and tbo slumbering little village
came ns near waking up ns It over docs. The
ntmospuoro of the college buildings wus
loaded with the perfume of banks
of ferns nnd baskets of cut
flowers intended for the graduates.
The chnpcl Is on the third floor of the college
building , nnd from its windows there is n
view of n most magnificent panorama of roll
ing crcen robed hills , dense woodland nud
gleaming river. The hill upon which the
college is located commands a view ot miles
und miles of country , embracing Omaha on
the north and Plattsmouth'on Iho soulh , and
tbo breeze which sweeps across It Is always
Bwcot aud fresh. Tha corridors and rooms of
the buildings were ay with flags loaned by
tbo Department of the Plattc nnd ferns nnd
flowers gathered by the students in the adJoining -
Joining woods.
When the exercises began yesterday

with the students and their friends , nmong

Slunle and Oratory.
A chorus by the college choir , consisting of
n dozen or moro young ladles nnd gentlemen
with very well trained voices , opened the
r commencement exercises , and ufter prayer
by Rev. Dr. Curtis of Lincoln Miss Vnn
Guusbock played . "The Chase , " a plnno solo
by Rbomberifcr , In a manner which snld nil
tbnt Is necessary In praise of tbo careful
ness ot tbo training given by tbo musical
department of the university.
David Otistlor followed with nn oration on
"Language , " which not only contained a
pluntltudo of Ideas seldom found In the or
dinary graduation oration , but was delivered
with a groal deal of ernco and elegance of
diction. His subject was treated with
great originality aud gave evidence of deep
thought nnd careful study , PS well as of the
most thorough training.
Levi Levering sung "Tho Exile's Dream"
in n rich , bass voice , which called forth tbo
hearty npplauso of thn crowded room. Mr.
Levering Is a full-blooded Winnebago Indian ,
und ono of the handsomest young men seen
in the room.
An essay entitled "Tho Study of the
Classics , " by Miss Mottle Bluncho Davlcs ,
was filled with well developed thought on
this much discussed subject. She compared
the Dcnofits derived from a training In this
branch and In the various other branches of
mental discipline and concluded the mind
bad not reached Its full and perfect develop
ment until the training received in the study
of mathematics and sciences had been sup
plemented by that of the classics. All this
was coucbcd In "beautifully rounded sen
tences and set with many gems of elegant
Enpllsh.
' Psycho and Apollo" was the subject of
nn oration wblcn sparkled witu poetical
Idccs and poetical quotations. Illustrative ot
the spirit and work of tha two scbools typl-
. . lied by Iho title of his oration. Mr. C. A.
Mitchell was Iho orator , and his composi
tion Indicated tbat bis dolvircs into Iho
realms ot poetry , ancioat and modern , bud
been deep und exhaustive.
C. W. Lnwrio sang Do Kovcn's bass solo ,
"Tlio'Armorcr. " In rich
a though not par
ticularly strong voice , and received a hearty
round of applause whlcb seemed to Indicate
that the hnuasomo young singer and his por-
formancc were .thoroughly appreciated by
the audience.
"Unsolved Problems" was the subject
chosen bv H. A. Carnaban , In the develop
ment of which the young orator peered beyond -
yond the mists ot the future with n fertility
of imagination which hold the closest atten
tion of bis hearer * . Ho anticipates tbo birth
ot many wonders In science , art und religion
and told of many rocks and reefs wnleh the
world had to avoid nnd strunu them all into
n carefully worded , well rounded address
which ho delivered with n strong , pleasant
voice nnd enforced with appropriate and
graceful gestures. Mr. Carnahan was evi
dently what In some colleges Is called the
valedictorian of the graduating class , anil
had some Interesting and appropriate words
of farewell for the faculty , the student. , Iho
board of trustees , tbo sleepy old town and
everybody.
At tha conclusion of his oration a little
2-veur-old darling toddled up to the stage
with u beautiful truy of flowers.
Contemning the Degrees.
In behalf of tha board of trustees Rov. Dr.

formed tbo audionca thnt while the records
of the past vour showed n most encouraging
-stale of atlulrs and the prospects ot the
Institution were ncvcrso flattering nnd hope

moru monev. There wns n deficiency of #
whlcb would have to bo made up before the
teachers who had worked so faithfully und

Rov. Mr. Sloan was called for and spoke In

Rev. Dr. Ilarsha was called for at this
point und lntcro U > a. tUo audleuco with in
cidents la the collcaa Ufa ot the class Just
bout to bo glrcu diploma * tn the dopart-
ment of arts. Ho was tbo president cf the
institution when they entered It nnd ban
taken tha deepest Interest in their progress.
Tno graduates were : Miss. S. Adams , Miss
I. Adams , Miss A. Blanchard nnd
Miss Mnrato E. Wallace In the
normal course , each ot them re
ceiving a second grade county certificate In
addition to the diploma. In the arts course
tbo graduates were David O.utlcr , C. A.

Blanche Davlcs , who Is the first lady to ba
graduated from this department , The three
younir men will continue their studies In tbo
Omaha Theological seminary.
The Venr'n Work. .
At the conclusion of the commencement
exercise * it was announced that Iho Indies of
the village bad prepared a dinner In thu col-
lezo dlnln-r room , to which all were Invited
nnd assured that their contribution of 23 cents
would bo applied to n further reduction to
tbo shortaco of funds. Two or three hundred
accepted tno Invitation , and tbo time from 1'- !
until B p. in. was agreeably passed in this
occupation "and In looking over the
York of the students on exhibition
In tbo art room and cbotnlcal and physical
laboratory. There was a very creditable dis
play of drawings und palntlnpa both in water
colors nnd oil which attracted a croat deal
of attention and broucht the instructor , Miss
H. Horsho/ , under tbo favorable notice of
the visitors.
Tno laboratory , which has been evolved
Irom nearly nothing by the Indefullgablo cn-
orgv and enthusiasm of the professor of nat
ural sciences , Dr. W. J. Boll , contains a well
selected tboueh not very large collection of
scientific appliances and apparatus.
During the last week there bas been added
.o tbo museum u complete set ot charts of
.ho paleolithic relics and curiosities tn the
collection ot the Smithsonian Institute.
Tticso wore secured for the university
tbrough tbo effort * , ot one of tbo congress
men and Dr. Bell and his pupils nro very
proud of the acquisition. There nro very few
jf these full collections in tbe United States.
Another noteworthy feature of this depart
ment Is the collection ot mounted
plants , the work of the students in
botany also under the direction of Dr. Bull.
The woods and fields adjoining the college
crounds furnish insurpassed facilities for
ho prosecution of work in this interesting
subject aud the boy * nave become infected
with the enthusiasm nf their instructor and
have done work which would bo creditable
.o auy mu eum in the country. Each stu
dent is required to mount nnd classify 100
specimens during the year. Specially crod-
'tablo work in this line bas been done by
Charles H. Boxmoyer , Miss Wallace nnd
Miss Connor , and their specimens nro as near
perfect as the most careful selection , drying
and mounting could make them.
. IIcir : < l the A mum I Address.
At":30 In tbo afternoon tha chapel was
again filled with un audience , gathered to lis
ten to tbe annual address , which was deliv
ered by Rov. Thomas C. Hall , a noted lUvino
from Chicago. The meeting was opened
with prayer by Rov. Dr. Hnrsba , and tha
speaker was Introduced by tbo president ,
who expressed great pleasure In being per
mitted 'to Introduce such an orator to such
un audience.
Dr. Hall took for his subject , "Law nnd
Liberty , " wbich ho considered a daring at
tempt.
Both words , bo said , had bacn abused nnd
variously used. Ho would guard against
some abuses. Liw Is used in its highest
sense as the method of divine procodure. Wo
'
mean by law In this sense , ho'w ( > od acts.
But It Is im possible to confine it to this mean
ing , since wo do not always Itnow the dl-
vine mnthods. Hypothesis would bo n
more suitable word. So far ns wo know law
all it represents to us Is Goi's ways of work-
Ing. Till wo understand these wo have only
a hypothesis. There is a lower meaning to
laws , tbat of human enactment. This is
merely temporary. Dlviuo la i is unchange
able. Tboro are too distinctions between
dlvino law ana hypothesis and between
divine law and human enactment. Iu
the prepress of human laws wo
may mark the way men travel in
their progress toxvard the one divine event
to whlcb tbo wbolo creation moves.
There H also a misuse ot the word liberty.
Ills sometimes used for lawless license. It
Is sometimes used for the dlvino untrammeled -
melod power. Tbcro 1s the application of it
to the plav of man's will. We confusa the
divine' unfettered liberty with human
limited liberty. One problem of philosophy
is to locale tbo limit between tbo dlvino law
nnd tbo human will.
The fact is ttiat law and liberty co togothnr
In such strungo nmalgam that \vo cannot
separate them from each other.
Our highest freedom is not in evading tbo
law but la using It In asserting our freedom.
Real freedom is the knowledge und use of
the law. Tbo suvago depends upon tha ebb
and lloxv of nature. To that extent h'j Is not
tree. His chains are his Ignorance. As ho
rises lo knowledge ho rises to Independence
of a chance and tn tbo plane of
one of God's ftcedmcn , wbo knows somo-
tbmg of divine methods. This will lead us
to grasp at all opportunities to know God
and His methods. Vou liavo dealt \vltb
what is known us physical law. This moans
on one side Gnd's method , on tbo other what
you Know of His methods , or your by >
no hcsls.
\Vo Don't Understand.
There Is no certainty of tbo physical laws
which wo can Know. Thev govern us , but
wo cannot know them. In the physical
sphere It is for us to seek to Know moro and
more of what are God's methods , and if
humbly aud rovorontlv wo do so we shall
bring ourselves nearer God and bo enabled
to wain with Him.
This Is true , too. In tha moral sphere. Wo
know moro of God's laws here , tie bas
giver us a code , but to apply It to individual
cases Is not so easy. "Thou shall not steal"
Is absolute , but what Is stealing !
Some railroad magnates would like to
define It to lit their transactions.
Some ot the simplest problems of morals will
have to be restudied In- such a way a will
revolutionize the systems of our morals and
politics. Some of us will huvo to reorganize
our moral principles , and the xpeaicer won
dered where the reorganization of tboio
principle , would load.
The highest Christian liberty is the liberty
of a church nnd kingdom which was estab
lished nt the cross and will coma to comple
tion at the coming of Christ. In theology
you will find need to guard against tbo
demand of unlicensed liberty and the appll
cation of tbo dlvino untratnmoled liberty to
thi > human mind and soul.
God has given us iu the person of Jesus
Christ u revelation so full ( but It may bo
commanded to you as the final answer to
some of tno must perplexing problems you
have encountered. In Him we may learn to
combine the highest liberty andourknowl
cdgo of the law , whlcb is our safeguard. If
we remember that wo only know a little ,
that we are only foaling our way , but there
is Ono Unchangeable , wbo knows all things
und wbo 1s loading , wo may escape many
perplexities.
There is only ono will worth finding out ,
and that Is tbo dlvino will , ana our highest
freedom Is in conforming to that will , and
cur highest law U the dlviuo law revealed In
the life uud death of Christ.
The Trustees.
The board of trustees bas been In session
from tlmo to time all tbe week ana has
waded through ua Immense amount of busi
ness and discussed many methods ot widen
ing tbo tpboro of operations ot tbo univer
sity. Tbo affiliation of tbo Omaha Medical
collesro and tbe chuucu from Bellevue
college to the University of Omaha
bus entailed an Iminouso amount of work
which is all uow satisfactorily
completed. Impending financial difficulties
caused by the failure of promised funds to
materialize also caused some uneasiness , but
this alto has been cared for nud the liberal
contributions made yesterday , many of them
by the clergymen themselves uud ouo by the
graduating class , reduces the unpaid remain
der to a comparatively easy figure.
Another quojllon considerably discussed
was tbu erection of a boys' dormitory. The
college bas now a very fine glrU' dormitory ,
wboro fomo of the boys are given table
board , but Bellevue Is a small town ,
aud the college is on a high bill and rooms
are not easy to secure and not particularly
wautcd by tbe students when they can bo
secured U is thought that with this dormi
tory tha institution can be made easily self-
sustaining ami the greatest hopci of secur
ing tbo bulldlue are entertained.
DOCTORS AND UNDERTAKERS
State Asssciations of the Two Professions
in Session in this Oity.
BOTH MET BY CHANCE , THE USUAL V/AY
lij-.lcl.ini Hnro Rcxor.il NMco Little Squnb-
blct to .Si-ttlo , Whllo the Undertakers
llury All Their Ulircronces anil
llnroi | Oootl Tlmo.
There are two conventions in full blast nt
ho Puxton thu seventh annual of the No-
TO-stm undertakers ana the seventeenth
nnual of the Nebraska State Eclectic
ifcdlcal association. They both moot
m the same floor , but thora Isn't
ho least sign ot any quarrel or
IsaprccmenU Their conduct hero Is
ndubitnblo proof that doctors and under-
akew go througn conventions as In other
ivulks of llfo-hond-ui-hand. They say little
cacti other , but there seems to ba a perfect
understanding between thorn , nnd If there is
my body loft on top of earth In this neck o'
ho woods by tbo end of the week It may bo
ccauso all signs full In a presidential year.
The undertakers get through yesterday
afternoon , but the doctors will keep pegging
nwuy until tonight. This reverses the
usual plan which glvns the planters the last
ivbnclc , but it U only an accident. It was
.ho Intention of the doctors to meet hero last
: nonth , but It was decided to post
pone the mooting until after the
Methodist Episcopal general conference.
Even tnen the two bodies would not have
couio in contact , but Dy mlsVako the undcr-
akers' meeting was called a week earlier
.ban was intended , as the bylaws provide
.hat it shall ba held on tbe second Tuesday
n Juno. Secretary Hcaton consulted a last
oar's calendar , hence tbo collision.
The I'liyslctnns In Session ,
The doctors were to have mot at U o'clock
Tuesday afternoon , but as few of them ar
rived until evening the opening session was
postponed until S o'clock.
President M. A. Carriker of Nebraska
_ lty was in the chair and introduced Majjor
Bcmls who dollvorcd'a cordial 'address of
welcome.
The reports of the secretary nnd treasurer
for the past your mot with general approval.
KoMcall revealed the presence ot barely a
dozen members and an adjournment was taken
until yesterday morning otter reading the
minutes , whinh , however , were not acted
upon , ns it was desired to have a larger rep
resentation of the association present before
any business was transacted.
The present session will witness the undo
ing of some of the woru ot the lust annual
meeting , that occasioned quite a little * Ur at
tbe time. This will bo the reinstatement of
Dr. Conwny of this city , who with
drew from the association at tbo
convention of 1S91 , after roasting It
nnd some of Its members to a turn.
Dr. Conway was arraigned for an alleged violation
elation of'the code of ethics In adopting In
his practice u system of advertising , ana tbo
case developed quite n little bad blood. It
alee involved the faculty of tbo Cotncr uni
versity at Lincoln. It was stated at Tuesday
evening's session that Dr. Conway was
wlllibg to return to the association
provided hU case was given favorable con
sideration , nnd on motion ot Dr. J. L. Nich
ols of Omaha , It was decided to reopen the
case ana give Dr. Conway u hearing.
Another Itoiv on Tap.
The Cotncr university row will also come
up for an airing. The president of Vuo
Institution came in yesterday mormucr ,
and requested that ho be hoard.
The association voted to allow him to present -
sent nis case at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The
trouble Is said to be duo to the professional
complexion of some of tha members of the
faculty , who ore alleged to belong to the
older schools and are eclectics neither
by education nor practice. It is
claimed that many of the students
now at the college nro very much dissatUtfed
And will not reluru another year unless
eclectic physicians are placed in charge of
all tbo departments.
All applications for membership were re
ferred to the board of consors. consisting of
Drs. W. L. Lattaof Lincoln , O. M. Moore of
Bradshaw , nnd Ira Von Camp of Omaha.
Thev reported favorably on the applica
tions of D. S. Palmer of Holdrege , H. C.
Mattox of Murdock , A. L. Schurmcr and J.
G. Van Ness , who were admitted to marnber-
ship.

Tbo report * of the bureaus of "Conserva
tive Medicine , " "Materia Modica , " nnd
"Clinical Medicine" and tbe discussions on
them occupied tbo remainder of the forenoon.
Cotncr University Air.ilrn.
At the opening of tha afternoon session.
Prof. Bnscoo , dean of tbo faculty of Cotnor
university , was on band , and so was Dr. D.
II. Duncan , president of the institution.
Prof. BrlFcoo was first accorded the privilege
of tbo floor , and ho talked right out
la mooting. Ho said bo wasn't going
to mlnco matters. and ho didn't.
He held that it was time that tbo medical de
partment of the college became one tulng or
another. If tbo eclectic folks were going to
support It ho wanted it to bo eclectic , and If
not it could be sotnotbing else , but ho was
tired of having It continue as a hybrid. Ho
believed in calling things by their proper
names aud ho was not in favor of
a sunflower masquerading as a roso.
Ho know that several members of the
faculty wore not eclectics , and the state of
affairs was getting no bettor very fast.
Seven or eight instructors ot tno eclectic
school hud boon required to glvo way to
otners of the old school typo , until now only
two of the fourteen Instructors were out and
outaclccllc practitioners.
Too university did not use tbo word cclec.
tic on Its stationery , and by a vota of the
faculty that seemingly obnoxious word had
been kept off tbo diplomas under which its
supposedly eclectic students bad graduated.
Some of the faculty had even decried
eclecticism , to the intense surprise aud in
dignation of tbo students. Prof. Brlscoa
made an urgent plea for a straight nclcctlo
faculty for the university.
Didn't Help It Much.
Dr. Dungan followed in a fifteen minutes'
speech , xvblcb confuted almost entirely of
bklllfully wordud generalities which cov
ered up or evaded the Question
rather ' .ban sheading any new
llcbl upon It. so that tbo members
knew no more about tbo mutter when bo
concluded than when be began. So far as
anything bo said was concerned , they were
even lelt In doubt as to where ho rctlly
stood ; Indeed , It was by what bo did not say
tbnt the members of tbo association
were able to locate bis position.
Ho socmed to favor the existing order oi
things , yet ho advocated a straight eclectic
Institution. Ho offered a partial explanation
for the existing order of things by saying
that It was oftontluiet easier to get a man
Into a position than to sot him out ot It , and
intimated that some ot tbo present members
of tbo faculty nutrht not relinquish their
positions without a struggle.
Atthoclosoof his address Secretary Op
pcrman of Auburn moved that a committee
of three , consisting of Dr. Ira Van Camp ol
Omaha , Dr. C. S. Palmer of Holdrogo nnt
Dr. I. D. Howard of Harvard , bo appolntot
to investigate the cnurees ogalnsttho Cotoer
untvorMty faculty and report on tbo same a1
the earliest possible moment.
President Carrlkor promptly ruled him ou
of order , a ho was about to read bis annual
address aud wanted every member to bear It
That settled it , for two boUrs. nt least , and
tbo audleiico stood U as best U could.
Kicked on the A < lilre .
Dr. Nichols was the first man to
irlvo out , ana after mentally assurlni
himself that ho could stand it m
longer , fa * Interrupted tbo president with
tbo statement that no understood that tbero
was a motion before the house. Whether
there was or not , bo did not think it rlgh
for tbo provident to monopolize so much vul
uable time when thora was a great dnal o
bu.iue s to bo transacted , aud rnauy o
tno monitors were anxious to got borne
Ho thought It a gross Imposition at $ be
favored baring the president dofcr to the
wishes of the majority and let the reading of
the remainder ot tbo address go over to some
other time.
Tbo president reversed the big bundle of
ypowrltten legal cap.tl&d nt the corners with
labordto bows of uarrdw white ribbon llko
school plrl's essay , and : showed bis impa-
lent audience that there -\vero bat two pages
more to read. It took 'scarcely ' a moment's
bought to enable them * to make UP thotr
minds that they preferred standing It u few
minutes longer to uavlirc another siege of it ,
and the president was allowed to proceed ao-
ordlngly. ?
Ono reason why the aadresn was not better
ecclvoil was undoubtedly because of Its dc-
idcd loaning toward the existing condition
f thlne-s. The president stated that tbo
ext books used IncluUcd the best of all
chools and branches-and that the students
ccelvcd broad , free anil liberal Instruction.
No sooner had tbo pnhldcnt taken his scat
bun Dr. Oppcrmann rehcwcd bis motion.
After the faculty In Kuniest.
Thn proslacnt did not ! llko tha goaoral tip-
loar.incu of the committee as named and
> tiggcdtcd that other members bo added
ott. The majority'did not feel that way.
They were after the faculty with a
barponcd stick , and did not propose to loin-
> orizo. They called f9r the question , but
nstead of putting it the president went over
and bcsoucbl a frlena to offer an amend
ment. The amcndmcnt.was not offered , nnU
bo question Was tinnlly put nnd earned
vith a whoop that boded no good to the
anti-eclectic instructors nt Cotncr.
Tbo committee nt once withdrew to the
other end ot tbo parlorsnnd boxan listening
0 the plaints ol Cotncr students , past nnd
irescnt , us well as others who have always
> ecn on tbo out ldo. It was staled tbat the
uedlcal colletro bad grauuatod allopaths ,
lotnccopathi and eclectic in tbo sntiio class ,
t was further duitneq tbat a certain in
structor had referred to "tho d d eclectics , "
and tbo word eclectic bad not appeared on
ho annual circulars and announce
ments. Students detailed instruc
tion given them , which was widely
it variance with eclectic teachings ,
t was alleged that atone commencement the
irlnclpal address had been delivered by a
rabid allopath , and not once did ho use the
vord eclectic. It was openly charged that
hough this was supposed to be nn eclectic
nstltution , the facultv was opposed to the
dca nnd was doing all In Us power to turn
t to the old school plan.
What tlio Fuss Is About.
The history of the row dates back two
years , to the opening of Cotnor university ,
t was desired to establish a medical de
partment in connection with the college , and
1 proposition was made to the Eclectic Medi
cal association of this state. A committco
wns appointed with power to < act ,
and thut was tbo cause of the trouble.
This committee consisted ot W. S. Latta of
Lincoln ; J. H. Woodward of Seward ; W.
Slclntyre of Unadilla ; J. M. Keyes of Omaha ;
; i. .M. Boutly ot Lincoln , and A. L. Hoot of
Slmwaod , the latter DOW deceased ,
Tbo lively opposition claims that this com
mittee never made a report , but assumed to
run things to suit Itself , whether
.ho association was pleased or not.
They maintain that the association is bigger
than the committee atid should have charco
of tbo matter , and should run the committco
lib well. They further assert that the com-
tnittco has endeavored to make the faculty
self-perpetuating , utterly ignoring tha asso
ciation In every way.
On the other hand President Carriker as
serts that tbe committee did report and tbat
tbo whole trouble is caused by these who
want to either run the wholoehow- themselves - ,
selves or prevent anyone else from running"
it. Ho states that the faculty is doing- the
test it-can and that it is batter to got what
you can than to lose all inTeacbini * after tbo
iinattalnablo.
' ' A report from tbo comhiltt.ee adverse to tbo
faculty , was banded la'last ) evening. Sev- "
cral hours were spent-in ducustiug. tbo report - \

ber of over 100 mot at ; 3 o'clock yesterday
morning at tbo rooms of1 a local undertaker ,
where for over two h ours they were given
practical Instruction I in embalming by
H. 1C Burkot of I this city. . Ar
terial and cavity embalming were both
carefully demonstrated , ( together with all the
details of taking up arteries , emptying tbo
heart and stomach , inalcni ; apron cuts and
all the unpleasant work ; that falls to the lot
of tbo tlrstclass undertaker and of which
the average man remains In blissful Ignor

Ono Scrlou * ( irlcvance.
It was after 11 o'clock } when tbo associa
tion met in tbo P.ixton cafe for the morning
session. Tbe gnovaucoi committee reported
on onO complaint , that of Charles Wachtol.of
Wymcro against tbo National Burial Case
company of Chicago. Mr. Wachtol asserted
that this company put in a stock of
goods at Blue Hill , only , a few miles from
Wymoro , ana ho wanted relief. The report
of tbe committee and the discussion fellow-
lug showed this to ba the principal griev
ance of wbicb tha undertakers have
to complain. As eco member expressed It ,
"Wo can't buy of every factory in the
country , and wo must hare some protection
against eases of this kind. If wo refuse to
buy of u company , the first thing wo know
they stock up some man and Bond him to our
town to run opposition. Of course , bo can't
do mucb business , as compared with
tbo old established undertaker , and '
In a few months ho begins
to cut prices and wo have to meet them. Wo
nro not in this business for our health , and
wo are entitled to a profit tbo same as any
Other business. These Jobbers have no busi
ness to put In these stocks , and wo must mu
tually organize against bouses that do this
kind of work. They must sell us what tboy
can aud bo satisfied , -without trying to use a
club. " ,
Then the question of organizing an associa
tion to include Iowa , IMlseouri , Kansas and
Nebraska came up , audk many of the mem
bers favored it , but others were opposed to
increasing their dues , and the iKattcr was
finally referred to a committee consisting of
Ucorgo Brown of Superior , and H. 1C Bur-
Uct of Omaba , with ( till'power to act.

ICcurns , Forth ! * young Brings was assessed
f 10 and cost : , besides being compelled to put
up bonds In the sum of $303 that In the fu
ture ho would kcop the poaco.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Davis convinced
two young mon thnt it was not a safe prac
tice to monkey with the Judicial buzz saw.
Bessie Woods and Ada Stevenson , two
colored wonion , wore witnesses for the stnto
against Brlt s. Prior to Brlgg * pleading
trullty Qoorgo Grovoy , a railroad man , nnd
H. P. Duke , a young colored man , sauntered
into the room , engaged the witnesses in con
versation , and In it few moments loft the
room , followed by the girls. Later in the
day Judge Davis learned that Urcroy and
Duke bad made arrangements to take the
girls to Council Bluffs on n fishing tour and
glvo them $10 if they would not appear
against Briggs.
Tbo sheriff was bustled out to arrest the
two men on an Information charging them
with interfering with tbe proceedings of tbo
court und with tampering with witnesses.
When arraigned thuy admitted that they
were guilty. That settled It and the two
men went to Jail to do fifteen days oacb , dur
ing ton of which they will diet on bread and
water.
Thomas Ulllisplo of South Omaha
wns charged ' with having counter
feit labels ot the clgnrmakcrs' union
and placed the same upon boxes
tbat contained tenement house goods , Uo
denied that ho was guilty and the case was
continuca.
Alexander Goldstein entered a plea of not

Albert Gay's Kxuerlcnco In Itofutlnj ; n
Charge or I'oitolllco Itobhary.
Albert E. Gay , wno was acquitted of the
charge of having robbed the postoftlco
nt Plattsttuuth on Easter Sunday , has
bad quite an experience during his stay In
Omaha. He c.imo hero from Alton , 111 , to
make a homo for bis wife to whom bo bad
been married but a few woaks. She fol
lowed him later and arrived hero on Friday
before Easter Sunday nnd they began
housekeeping on South Sixteenth street.
When Gay was arrested two weeks after
the Plattsmouth robbery bo was taken to
that place and ledged in Jail. Ha says ho
was shamefully treated by tbo authorities.
iHe demanded an Immediate hearing but
{ .could not got It , and did not know for three
ijdnys on what cnargo bo had boon arrested.
Tbo marshal refused to give him a telegram
from his wife and made It as unpleas
ant for htm as possible. But the
funny part ot the affair developed on tbe
trial. Thera were sovnral Plattsmouth wit
nesses who swore positively that Gay was in
Plattsmouth on Saturday , the day preced
ing the burglary of the postofQco. It seemed
that nearly everybody down In the Cass
county caoilol had seen Gay loitering around
iu the vicinity of the bank and postofllce
during Saturday and Saturday ovOnlng.
But It wes different when tbo de
fense was made. Gay's landlord , .his
grocer , a man from whom ho nought furni
ture , and tbo barber wbo cave him his anlo-
Easter shave all ir.vurc positively tbat Gay
was in Omaha Saturday afternoon nnd Sat
urday nlgh't. Gay Is nn upholsterer and
hardwood finisher and a man for wbom bo
worked on tbe Saturday In question also ap
peared In his behalf.
One of tbo witnesses for tbo prosecution
was an Omaha saloonkeeper , wbo bworo
that Gay had been in bis saloon
and paid for u drink of whisky
with postage stamps. Gay says as a matter
of fact ho took tbe pledge before bo was
married and has not drunlc anything since.
Gay was acquitted by the Jury and says bo
proposes to stay in Omaha and con'.iuuo to
work at taU trade. In addition to tbo lost
time , his wife's sorrow , and the stigma on
bis own name , Mr. Gay is out a fine pocket
knlfo , a screwdriver of an Improved pattern ,
and several rare gold coins bo bad as souv
enirs. These bo soys were simply appropri
ated by officials who bad him In charge.

Yesterday wns a day when petty criminals
in tbo custody of the federal authorities stood
before tbo looking glass of justice and saw
their offenses loou up in alt their ungainly
and hideous shapes. They also beard the
Judge speak out the measure of their punish
ment , and then tboy were led away to poo-
dor and pay the penalties Imposed.
.N. C. McLean of Mlndon realizes now that
It Is not safe to get mixed up with matrimonial

spondence bureau about a year ago and tbe
result of tbo affair was a flno ot 101) ) and
thirty days in tha custody of tbo marshal.
Mr. McLean soon found tbat the alleged
lady ho began corresponding with could
maUo use of some rather unladylike
language und ho answered in the sumo sort
of vernacular. The correspondence soon
drifted Into nu exchange of obscene epistles
in which McLean appeared to bo no match
for the female ut tbe other end of the
line. By accident one of McLean's letters
wont wide of tbo mark and fell into tbo
bands of thu United States authorities. This
brought the correspondence to a sudden end
and tbeyomic man to trrlef. Ho said to tbo
Judge that ho was very sorry bo fractured
tbo law and tbo Judge made tbo line Is light
at possible , which was tlOO und
a short term Iu tbo custody ot tUo martbal.

Henry Ash had stamped a letter or two

TO THE TAXPAYERS.

Ostuu , Juno 0. To the Editor of Tun
Much has been sala aoout the No-
iraska Central bridge bonds , etc. , etc.
Vllow mo a space in your valuable paper to
express ray opinion. It may not have much
velcht or bearing on any of your voters or
taxpayers , but I hope 1 will bo able to ex
plain my views and idea * so clearly that you
nt least will not find fault with my expres
sions. I hope I will bo nblo lo express my
self in such a way that I will no able la-show
ou the full benefit you will receive in re-
urn bv assisting In helping to carry the
election in favor of the Nebraska Central
railroad.
I nm one of the many unfortunate land-
ords who has some vacant houses nnd wblcb
. ' have unoccupied aud In some Instances
rented for considerably less than a not in
come ot Q per cent per annum , and still I am
receiving all that my tenants can afford to
lay mo on account of thotr small income.
How can wo taxpayers remedy this } It
s easily done by voting for the Nebraska
Central railroad bonds. Lot us rota these
bonds and it will Improve our tenants' con
dition ; it will fill our vacant bouses ana after
wo improve our tenants' condition we tux-
uycra and landlords will feel the result
, vith an Income of a wonderful Increase In
rents.
Lot us fill every house in the city. How
can it bo dune ! Easily , by voting for tbo
Nebraska Central rall'road.
Just tnink of it , how a wonderfully great
enterprise it is if carried. , Would it not em
ploy at least 4,000 people , say , ou tbo river
and both sides of it , and all of tbo earnings
of those people would bo spout in Omaha.
The amount of money spent by those people
would repay us manyfold over the lucrnased
amount wo pay as tuxes and interest on the
bonds.
Wo who llvo today will perhaps not PC
called ou to pay these bonds , but
only the interest , thprcforo let
those wbo como utter us take care
of them. Lot us live aud let llvo whllo wo
are hero and I can only see It Is right to vote
the bonds for tbo Nebraska Central railroad ;
by so doing wo will proparu tbo foundation
for tbo largest city in the west and wo will
turn something over to these who como after
us and they will bo satisfied in assuming
payment of the bonds.
I am not as boavy a taxpayer as some , but
I know I have all 1 can do in paying them nl
the present time , and by voting the bonds
and getting this enterprise started I think
I will bo able to pay them more promptly ,
as I have the best reasons in saving
there would not bo any empty bouses
of mine or anybody else. Therefore I cannot
sea tbo reason for not voting tbo bonds , ns
the great men of brains of our city framed
such a constitution where you will find no
loopholes for the Nebraska Central Huilroud
company to defraud our city out ot nnytblng.
This Is the beauty of It ; the company must
glvo us a good start in tbe enterprise before
they can receive a single share of tbo beads
and the enterprise must bo fully completed
before the last ot the bonds are turned over
to tbo company.
I see no reason for any taxpayer to vote
against tbo bonds and sbould tbo company
fall to carry out the cntcrprlso wo are out
nothing only tbo time it takes to vote , but it
looks clear to rae tbat tbo company intends
to go ahead at once , ns tboy are buying con
siderable outlay of money In carrying on the
election , as they are paying tbo expenses of
It and not us , and , besides , tbe men wbo nro
connected with this enterprise are heavy
taxpayers themselves , mon who have brains
as well as money lo put in it , and ,
more than that , they have'tho Influence witb
tbo wealthy men of the east , whom tboy can
Induce to plant their capital hero , nnd there
fore let us vote the bonds and got the enter
prise started , and you will see when this is
started many more will follow. Tbo more people -
plo wo can induce to locate bore and invest
their money , the more there will bo to pay the
tuxes. Lot us old fogies stop our kicking
against uny enterprise llko this , but let us
assist In helping everything along tbat will
benefit tbo tity , and not bother our beads
about bow mucb any private individual is
going to make out of it , for It stands to com
mon reason that If a man has money to In
vest in an enterprise llko this bo ought to
have some profits in return tor tbo invest-
menu Hoping you will not find fault or
criticise my argument , but bcllovo as 1 do
and vote for the bonds , M. To IT.
