Mr , Ware's Two-Ycar-Old Boomerang Re
turns in' Time to Sinito Him ,
HE ENJOINED A TAX LEVY BACK IN 1892
Now tin- School * Arn Crippled on Account
of tlio DcllrloiH'y TliiM ( 'mined unit
Air. Warn IK n Democratic
Arplnnit for OIIU'c.
There was a little Item In yesterday's
Issue of The llco that was xomcwlmt sig
nificant In view of Its connection with a
chain of other events. In the account
of the school board proceedings the state
ment of Chairman Thomas of the finance
committee was given , showing that there
wa-j now a deficiency in the school treasury
of I2C.7C8.
In the spring of 1S92 the board neglected
to comply with the prlvlslons of the law
In reporting to the Hoard of Supervisors
within the requited time the amount of
money that would bo needed to carry on the
schools during the next year. The mistake
wan discovered when It was lee late , but
the probability Is that the Hoard of Super
visors would have found sotno way of get
ting around the difficulty had It not been
for the action of certain politicians , who
saw a chance to make political capital of
It and took advantage of It , even at the
expense of crippling the schools.
W. H. Ware , who Is now candidate for
election to the office of city attorney on , the
democratic ticket , came to the front and
filed a petition asking for a writ of Injunc
tion to restrain the supervisors from mak
ing the annual tax levy , and an ono of the
grounds therefor alleged that there was ut
that time J100.000 In the school treasury ,
which was far In excess of the amount that
would bo necessary to keep the schools
running during the current year. On this
sort ot a showing the writ of Injunction
was granted and the supervisors found
their hands tied.
"The current year" referred to In Mr.
Ware's petition did not commence until
April , IS'l.l , for that was the time when the
district would have received Ha llrst In
stallment of money that would have come
from the levy which was enjoined. Had ho
not misrepresented the facts then there
ought still to be money enough In the treas
ury to run thu schools until the llrst ot
next April. Instead of this the treasurer
reports a deficiency of almost $27.000 , with
a month and a half to run still before any
money will be received.
As a result of Mr. Ware's action the
schools have been crlppleed for the last year
and a half. Hxpenbca have had to bo cut
down In every direction. It was oven found
necessary to postpone the payment of taxes
on school property , and the democratic
county treasurer promptly sold the property ,
whllo allowing certain pilvato corpotatlons
to dodge their taxes year after year.
Teachers and Janitors have had to bo paid
In warrants over blnco last October , and
these warrants are not worth their par
value. The hard working employes of the
schools nro compollcl to part with their
warrants at a loss of 2 or 3 per cent of
their face value or else Keep them and llvo
on their savings , a thing which very few of
them are able to do.
At the time Mr. Ware took out his Injunc
tion his action was thought to be Immensely
shrewd , and certain politicians who had
been members of the board but had some
what lout their grip , stood In the background
and chuckled and slapped their knees with
their hands , overcome with glee at the
political Joke they hud played on their ene
mies on the board. At that tlmo Mr. Ware
did not know that ho would bo a candidate
for the city nttorneyshlp this year , or ho
might have been willing to let some ono
else taku the responsibility of well-nigh dis
abling the schools. Now that he has entered
the ring the ghost of his llttlo Joke u year
and a half ago Is beginning to walk and the
apparition Is anything but consoling to the
democratic leaders.

George Uriiun Knds III * I.lfo After n 1'ro- ,
trnccod Spree , nt Council IHulYi. '
George II. Draun , foreman'at the Standard
Oil company's warehouse In this city
shot himself yesterday at 9 o'clock at his
home , corner of Sixth street and Ninth
avenue. For the past week ho had been on
a protracted spree , and Monday night ho
spent away from home , returning at 4 o'clock
yesterday morning. Ho was lying In bed at 9
o'clock , and his wife , who was busy getting
breakfast , looked through the door and saw
him playing with one of the children , and ho
seemed In good spirits. A mlnutu later she
heard thooport of u revolver ,
and , running into the bedroom ' , found
her husband lying on his bac'k on the Moor
with the smoking revolver between his
knees. There was a gaping bullet hole just
behind his left ear from whlih blood and
brains were oozing , making a ghastly sight.
Ha never recovered consclout'.iesa , but died
about ll o'clock.
Coroner Jennings was call/d to the scene
but after making an Investlj/Ulon / decided It
was simply a case of sulcldo and that an In
quest was unnecessary.
Hraun was ono ot the Standard Oil com
pany's most trusted employes , having hold a
position of great responsibility for several
years when predecessors could only stay n
few months. Ho always bore the best of
reputations , his only fault being that ho
would occasionally drink more than was good
for htm.
Ho leaves a wife and two children , fairly
well provided for. Ho was a member of
the Treubund society and the Ancient Order
of United Workmen of Iowa. The tlmq for
the funeral has not been set , but will proba
bly not occur until Sunday.
Ion a Local Option 1)111.
Representatives from Hurllngton , Clinton ,
Council Uluffs , Davenport , DCS Molncs , Dubuque -
buque , Kcnkuk , Lyons , Ottumwa and Sioux
City met at DCS Molnes last week and drew
up a bill favoring local option. It is thought , ,
that this bill will meet with favor in the
legislature and that Its principal features
may bo enacted Into law.
It authorizes an election In any county ,
upon the application ot a given number of
cltliens , upon the question ns to whether or
not permits to manufacture and sell , or to
sell at wholesale only , or at retail only ,
shall bo Issued. It vests In the district
court Jurisdiction to grant and revoke per
mits. It requires published notlco to bo
given before a permit can bo granted , and
allows objection , protest and remonstrance
at such hearing. All proceedings are to
bo heard and tried summarily. Tha
minimum fee for thu permit Is $ GOQ , and any
additional sum to bo llxed by the muni
cipality or the board of supervisors , as
the case may bo , The entire fee must bo
pnlit Into the county treasury baforo the
permit can be lssued > Where the business
ls conducted In a city or town 75 per cent
of the fco Is to bo paid to the city or town
and passed to the general fund therein ; and
the remaining 25 per cent and all fees for
permits to do business outside ot cities and
towns are to remain In the county treasury ,
passed to the county road fund and disbursed
by the board ot supervisors. Thu holder of
every permit Is required to post and keep
his permit In a public place In his place of
business , und the permit Itself Is to contain
tha conditions upon which It Is Issued , for
the breach of any of which It may bo for
feited. The permit may bo to manufacture
niul sell at wholesale , or to sell at wholesale
only , or to sell at retail only , and separate
permits must bo taken out for each class ot
every permit Is required to post and keep his
permit In a conspicuous place In his place ot
sales un Sundays , on election days , or to
minors , Insane , Idiotic or Intoxicated per-
bans. The bill contains other provisions ,
some of which are protective of the public
and others piotcctho ot thq permit holder
In the conduct of liln business. ,
Section 20 of this bill reads as follows :
"Nothing In this act contained shall repeal ,
or In nnywlso Interfere with , or effect , the
operation of statute * of this state , or any of
thorn , or any parts or provisions thereof ,
prohibiting the manufacture or sale ot In
toxicating liquors , except as to manufacture ]
and vales made under and In accordance

shall uny permit Ucueil under this act la
anywise repeal , or In " - Interfere
with or affect statues of this state or any

authorizing and regulating the ale of In
toxicating llqifors by registered pharmacists. "

A "citizens" convention was licld In the
superior court room at tlio county court
homo lest evening but Its complexion was
somewhat different from what had been
looked for. James McCabe , who hai taken
a leading part In the 5-ccnt fare movement ,
had also been at the bottom ot the scheme
for putting n third ticket In the field and It
was commonly supposed that the party or
ganized was the result of a coalition between
McCabe and a few ot his followers and the
populists. Hut when C. L. Gillette , chair
man of the populist city central committee ,
arrived at the court house ho brought tlio
news of McCabo's defection. A conference
had been going on during the afternoon with
n view to patching up n difference between
the two factions that wont to make up the
citizen's ticket. McCabe wanted to run
Alexander Wood for mayor , while the popu-
llstlc half wanted Thomas Tostevln. Neither
side would glvo in and a dlvorco consequently
quently was In order.
The court room was well filled when Gillette -
lotto called the convention to order. Not
all those who were there , however , had any
Intention of voting the third ticket. Most
of them were republicans or democrats who
came merely to see what would bo done.
During the evening the scslon became
stormy at a number of different times on
account ot the Interference of outsiders
Confusion reigned supreme for several min
utes on at least two occasions , which caused
some of the populists to talk about "hench
" " " " " and the
wagons"
men , "hoodlums , "patrol
like.
like.John Ahles was called upon for a speech
and responded , saying a great many things
that Interested the audience. John Short
also regaled those present with a few ex
tracts from his popular street corner
harangues. The committee to draft reaolu-
tlons reported as follows :
No more city work to be let by contract ,
but till rlty work to bs done bv day labor

munity. '
We oppose any further granting of fran

Ambrose Grammlere Is the name of a gen
tleman of prrnounced French personality
who Is at present a resident of Omaha. Ho
Is chef do cuisine at the Murray and was
with Admiral Mello of Brazilian revolution
fame when that southern mariner made a
tour of Europe In 1SG9. The object ot Mcl-
lo's trip to Europe nt that time Is not gen
erally known , but Grammlero Is authority
for the statement that' Mello , even at that
time , was planning lo overthrow Dom Pedro ,
who was then cmperpr of Brazil. In speak
ing of the subject this morning Grammlere
said : "Mello went Jo Europe to raise money
to conduct a revolution. Ho was seized
with a wild ambition to follow the example
of Garcia , who woh1 over $3,000,000 at the
gambling tables of European centers. With
a good sized stake Mello reached Monte
Carlo and went agalAst the wheel. He was
ono ot the coolest men' at the gambling
table that I over saw. ! Ho played for days
with varying luck an'd finally ho lost heavily.
Arising from the table with a smile he beck
oned to me and Invited me to dine with him.
At the hotel he referred to his losses , but
maintained a hope that his luck would
turn and that ho would yet attain his ambi
tion to raise a revoluttnil sttike. Fired with
enthusiasm at the thought of a successful
overthrow of Dom Pedro lie grasped my arm
and said In Spanish trial Brazil would bo a
republic within twenty years at the farthest
and that It was the ambition of his llfo to
have a government there similar to the ono
in the United States. The next day Mello
tempted fortune once more and lost. PackIng -
Ing his trunk the Brazilian left Monte Carlo
In disgust but not totally discour
aged. Ho twisted the tiger's tall at
Marseilles , Paris and elsewhere , but ho
seemed to be out of luck. At the end of
two months ho blow In his last dollar against
roulette. Out of funds , and with a mort
gaged coffee plantation staring him In the
face , Mello returned to Marseilles and bor
rowed $5,000 from Bofolro , tha banker. With
a perseverance born of patriotism he made a
final effort to retrieve his losses , but failed.
With only $1,000 left , ho made a tour ot the
continent and returned to Brazil somewhat
disheartened , but breathing determination
to eventually overthrow the empire. I re
mained In Europe and heard from Mello at
intervals. His aggressive conduct In the
Brazilian trouble Is thoroughly character
istic of the man. His whole heart Is
wrapped up In the Issue at stake. For
twenty-four years ho has nursed his am
bition and \vtll fight to the finish In Its de
fense. Personally , Mello Is a polished gen
tleman , who speaks French , Spanish and
Portugucho fluently. Ho Is a great musical
genius and can play the piano with great
proficiency. Apropos of the present revolu
tion In Brazil I am sufficiently conversant
with affairs to speak knowingly when I say
that some European power Is putting up
money In the Interest of Mello. There Is
a great deal of unwritten history about the
Brazilian revolution. "

Ing upon the Nebraska congressional delega

been forwarded to Washington. Responses
of an encouraging nature have been received
from Senators Allen and Mandon > on , and
Congressmen Bryan and Mercer. The re
sponse from Senator Manderson was particu
larly Interesting. Under date of February
13 ho writes that ho has given the subject
his serious consideration and says that tha
Jeopardy of the projected beet sugar factory
was only ono of the many that were threat
ened by the Iniquitous Wilson tariff bill.
He furthermore says that 'unless the beet
sugar Industry is fostered and protected ,
cither by the continuance at the bounty or
by n fair customs duty , It must go to the
wall , ' The senator aso says that Nebraska
has a greater intercs | , In the growth of
sugar beets than any other state In the

In conclusion , Senator Manderson writes In
an encouraging spirit aud says that he will
bend all his energies lu behalf ot Omaha's

Is a quiet thrust ut , certain members of thn

"For some time there has been bad blood
between the Union Pacific and Uock Island , "
said a Milwaukee official yesterday. In ex
plaining why the Union Pacific had failed to
couple the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul In
Its petition for n suspension of the contract
of May , 1890 , whereby both the Hock Island
and Milwaukee enjoy terminal facilities nt
Omaha and South Omaha and the use of the
bridge between Council Illuffa and Omaha.
"My Impression Is that the Union Pacific
people are satisfied with the way the Hock
Island has been living up to the terms ot the
contract. Wo have been paying the sche
dule of switching charges made by the Union
Pacific , but the Uock Island has not. Then
the suit In the Cook county ( Illinois ) court ,
whereby the Union Pacific had to put up
collateral In the shape ot bonds to In
demnify the Rock Island In case of
garnishment proceedings has been n fruitful
source of annoyance to the Union Pacific
receivers , who have not entered Into the
possession of the bonds and other securities
which the circuit court of Cook county
ordered to be put up In lieu of the money
attached by the Rock Island , duo the Union
Pacific from Interstate business. It Is un
doubtedly the trouble growing out of this
case Unit caused the petition to bo filed In
Judge Dundy's court asking for a suspension
of the contract made between the Union
Pacific and Rock Island. As to the set-off
which Judge Woolworth claims In his Inter
view In The Bee the Rock Island has against
the Union Pacific , my Information Is that
the Union Pacific contracted to operate the
Rock Island line between Albright and Lin
coln , but in the event of failure , then the
Union Pacific was to pay the Rock Island Its
proportionate share of operating cxpensss
and the maintenance of the road. Fearful
lest the Omaha & Republican Valley charter
might be amended by reason of the abandon
ment of the service on that road which
would naturally follow the operation of the
line between Albright and Lincoln the
Union Pacific refuses to fulfill Its part of
the contract and the Rock Island has for
two years cl.ilmc.l about $10.000 a year from
the Union Pacific as Its duo for violation
of the contract on the Union Pacific's part.
Of course as to the merits of the case I
am not sufficiently Informed , but I know
there lias been an endless amount ot cor
respondence ovnr the troubles which seem
to be growing Instead of diminishing. The
Milwaukee has accepted the schedule of
switching rules charged by the Union Pa
cific and has met Its bits piomptly , as I
am Informed , but the Rock Island has shown
fight which accounts for the bill In Judge
Dundy's court. "
A Union Pacific representative speaking
about the petition which was given ex
clusively In The Bee Monday , stated that
Judge Thurston had met T. S. Wright , gen
eral counsel of the Rock Island In Chicago
last week and had agreed to a day when
the case might bo heard on Its merits. Be
yond this there was llttlo that was new In
the situation1 and nothing would be done
until the return of Judge Thurston from New
York.
JIADI : A sTitAsm : MOVE.
Itcccnt Action of the Soiitlicrn Pacific
Pur/Irs Itullroad 'Men.
CHICAGO , Feb. 20. The Southern Pacific
has taken an action which , whllo evidently
leveled at the Atchlson , Is difficult for rail
road men In Chicago to understand. The
Southern Pacific has no line Into San Diego
and has Issued a circular saying that here
after It will not honor any San Diego
tickets over the Southern California
because ot the $5 aibitrary rate
demanded. This virtually amounts tea
a refusal to handle Chicago bus
iness on any terms. Why It should
voluntarily throw away any business with
out any compensating return is a question.
There is unquestionably something behind
the move , but railroad men here say that
they do not know what It is.
The Western Passenger association today
sustained Chairman Caldwell's decision to
the effect that all members of the general
association must bo members ot the Califor
nia local association. The chairman did not
faro so well , however , on the Alton's appeal
from his decision that a railroad had no
right to place its tickets Into the hands of
ticket brokers , they to act as agents. The
association decided that a member Is at lib
erty to appoint any agent it may select , Irre
spective of the business In which the agent
so selected may bo engaged.
It was reported today that the Canadian
Pacific has decided to accept 4 per cent of
the differentials claimed on Its business be
tween Victoria and San Francisco via the
water route. Whether It Is willing to ac
cept or decline the proposition now makes
very llttlo difference as the trouble between
the Atchlson and Southern Pacific Is likely
to so upset the transcontinental business as
to dwarf it into nothing.

NEW ORLEANS , Feb. 20. The meeting of
the Southwestern Traffic association today ,
after an extended discussion relative to ap
plication of differential rates from the sea
board territory , agreed that the next regular
meeting of the organization should bo held
In Now York April 10. The meeting Is to
dispose of all questions relative to seaboard
rates , and upon the completion of that work
to adjourn to the association headquarters
at St. Louis. A resolution was adopted pro
viding that all lines should Immediately file
with the chalrmanu divisions of the rates
from seaboard territory via all routes.

that the Canadian Pacific has let a contract
for the building of 250 miles of railroad be

Calgary , The proposed route Is the much
talked of Crows Nest pass and Tobaca plains
cut-off ot the Canadian Pacific. If con
tinued It will again reach the main line at

contract was let to Brown & Hollls of Now

NOVEL LAW DECISION.

The 2Cth New York Supplement , page IB I ,
reports the conclusions of the court In the
case of Rlley iigalnst Rlloy ns follows :
( Supreme court , general term , second de
partment. December 1 , 1803. )
Action to Annul Marriage IJvldence.
In nn action to annul a marriage on Iho
ground of physical Incapacity of defendant ,
evidence that , In due time after the mar
riage , defendant ga\e birth to twins , Is
sutllclcnt to sustain a Judgment for de
fendant.
Appeal from special term Wcstchuster
county.
Action by William Rlley against Mary A.
Rlley to annul n marriage. There was Judg
ment In favor of defendant , and plaintiff ap
peals. Affirmed.
Argued before Barnard , P. J. , and Pratt , J.
Pratt , J. This action was brought to
annul tlio marriage between the plaintiff and
defendant on the grounds that the defend
ant , at the tlmo of the marrlago , was phys
ically Incapable of contracting marriage ;
that such Incapacity was known to her , but
unknown to him , and was fraudulently con
cealed from him by the defendant. The part-
ties Intermarried on July II , IS'.iO. and ro-
habited together until shortly before this
action was commenced , In June , 1882- per
iod of nearly two years. They hail twins
born to them In February , 1SU2 , about seven
months after their marriage , ono of which
died on Its birth , the other about three
months later. This would seem to dispose
of the question of defendant's want of ca
pacity , unless plaintiff expected her to have
triplets.
As to the other grounds alleged by plain
tiff , It Is sufficient to say they were not
proven , neltliT the incurable defects nor
their fraudulent concealment ; and , even If
proven , wo know of no rule of law that will
enable a husband to annul the marriage
contract on the ground that his wife has
a swollen tongue or Inllamtmitlon of the
bladder. Wo are satisfied that the court at
special terms made u proper disposition of
the case , and that the Judgment should be
affirmed with costs.

Till ? startling remark was m ( lo by ono
of the best phy&Maus In America. Ho wan
ti man uho had MtldliM deeply , cbsoruiil
keenly , and UIIPW mi'ii and women thor
oughly. Continuing , ho mid :
"Sentiment Is a grand , n lovely thing , and
thu world cannot ll\u without It , but tlui
cxerclso of the sentiments Invariably ex
hausts. Ptoplo may not feel It , but It I *
true novel thnlpss. A man or n woman
wear * out , breaks down , and then wonder-i
nt the cause. In ages before civilization ,
when men only hail brute instincts , the feelIngs -
Ings were not high. tli sentiments wore not
hocii. even the passions were not aroused ,
but In the present day of breeding , ut foci-1
Ing , men ami women may enjoy much , but ?
they exhaust quicker. This Is sad , but It" "
Is truf. "
"I kno'v I nm talking frankly , pcrhap * ,
bluntly , but t nm telling the truth , and ! &
the nu > n and women of the nineteenth cen
tury do not feed the forces that ptoducu ]
sentiments , affections. , feelings , they aru
certain to break down , to become exhausted ,
and to din lie To 10 their time. Do not tell
me these things are thcoilrs , for they ara
holemn facU. "
"You ask mo what I would do , " ho con
tinued : "I answer : llepln to feed thesti
fortes ; food them constantly ; feed them wltli
the hst and most bckntlllc discovery you
can hcrure. If you a.sk mo what Is the
best , I unhesitatingly say It Is that grand
prepntatfon which ban been so long bi'foru
the people and Is MI popular , Winner's Safu

known to no other discovery , and I know
that thousands of men and women cannot
HVP without It today. It you will stop anil

what I nay Is corrort , and I believe bo leilj
to try it at once It you have not already ,
done so. "
Tlio facts stated by the doctor and the
