to get him to keep still. Ho turned on
Pfaff , and shouting that no one could put
him out , ho proceeded to convince Pfaft of
his physical prowess by lambasting him across
the face with his fist a number of times.
Pfaff showed up half an hour later at the
office ot the- city clerk with nls shirt front

holes and swore out a wurrant for Hough's

Hough disappeared soon at er the fracas ,

attitude toward It for Christians Is that of
relentless hostility. In our judgment the

n disgrace to our civilization , the chief cor-

and deprecate all acts of the last general

'favor the enforcement of the restrict

3li.lSUltKt l-'Olt
BROKEN BOW , Neb. , Aug 14. To the
Editor of The Bee. ) The article entitled
"Prepare for Reljef at Once" In your Issue
ot the 13th was read here with a great deal
of Interest. The propositions therein ad
vanced of organizing aid societies for the
purpose of requesting contributions and of
building Irrigating ditches for the purpose of
furnishing employment ! for the needy will
not meet the exigency that exists. There Is
an absolute failure of all kinds of crops In
many counties of the state. This , following
as It does the almost entire failure of last
year , leaves thousands of people entirely
without means to support tliemacl 03 and p o-
cure seed for anolher year. The proposition
to vote bonds upon the counties with which
to construct ditches cannot b carried when
submitted to a vote ot the people , for the
reason that a very small part of any county
could bo Irrigated or benefited thereby. With
teams In poor condition and grain and hay
exceedingly high , the greater amount re
ceived for work upon the proposed ditches
would necessarily go to pay for feed and
board , and little would remain with which to
provide for the families and procure seed.
During the winter months little or nothing
could bo done upon ditches. A considerable
time would necessarily be occupied in voting
and selling the bonds , making surveys , etc. ,
so that winter would be here before the work
could be begun.
As to the proposition of receiving contri
butions , that Is too uncertain. The people
will not rely upon It. If that Is depended
upon many portions of the state will be de
populated before winter. There Is but one
way by which the emergency can be met ,
and that Is the calling of an extra session
of the legislature at once , which , when It
has met , should provide a law whereby the
counties may vote bonds , from the piocecds
of which the commissioners may directly pro-
vldo aid and seed to those who are In need
of the same. This law might provide for
the sale of necessaries and seed to those
who are unable to help themselves , and tak
ing of their notes therefor , and making It
the duty of the county authorities to collect
these notes In the future whcro possible , and
when so collected , the proceeds to be applied
to the payment of the bonds. If this were
done at least CO per cent of the notes would
bo paid. Aid would thus go directly and
speedily to those who need It , and more
good , we submit , would bo accomplished
with a given amount of money than by any
other plan.
At a meeting of the citizens of this county
recently held a committee was appointed to
present petitions to the governor requesting
him to call an extra session of the legislature
nt once for the purpose of enacting some
such law ns that above suggested. Those
petitions will bo presented to the governor
upon the 17th of this month , and It Is hoped
that people of other counties who believe In
the necessity ot an extra session will nlso
present their petitions to the governor at
the same time or soon thereafter. We ought
not to ask aid and contributions from other
communities so long as we are able to care
for ourselves , and if we but have the author
ity of law \ve can In this way take care of
ourselves. CITIZEN.

MADISON , Aug. 1C. To the Editor of
The Bee : In the World-Herald of Tuesday
an extract from a letter written by J , H.
Mackay was published , claiming that at the
dunocratlc caucus held In this precinct on
the llth Inst. the administration democrats
were beaten two to one.
Perhaps a little Information In regard to
the packing of this caucus would be Inter
esting. In the first pluce , the democratic
vote of this precinct Is never to exceed sev
enty-five , while at the caucus ninety-six votes
were cast , of which not more than fifty
were by democrats. The chairman of the
caucus was a self-admitted populist and the
voters brought there by the free silver candi
date consisted largely of threshing gangs and
bays under 21 jears of age.
The administration democrats are largely
In the majority In this county and will not
vote for a man for congress who claims that
ho "can stand square on the Omaha plat

WASHINGTON , Aug. 1C. An agreement

ferees on thci Immigration bill which was
first drawn by Representative W. A. Stone
of Pennsylvania and passed upon by the
house providing for consular Inspection
abroad for which Senator Hill's provisions
to exclude anarchists wcro substituted.
The agreement In sight is one for consular
Inspection and Senator Hill's plan to ex
clude anarchists. The house conferees approve -
prove of Senator Hill's measure , but do not
want It as a substitute for the Stone bill ,
They are willing to pass the Hill bill
m asuro In the houseas a separate bill this
session If they can , It In consideration for
this work the Stone bill bo brought before
the senate next session as an Independent
measure to bo discussed on Its merits. Such
an agreement Is said by the conferees to be
probable.

Ho Sold Ifor a Harmless Drug Instead of
1'olxon. 4
Agnes Ilotlimliler , a1 f-year-old girl who
came here a short time ago from.Crete , Neb. ,
seems to have more than her share of ser
row. Yesterday she thought that her
burdens had become too many and attempted
suicide.
Within the last six weeks death has be
reft her of both parents and an only brother ,
leaving her without relatives or homo. She
came here to work and finally secured a po
sition with some farmer living near town.
Her duties , according 'to ' her story , were
enough for three women , let alone a young
girl. She became disheartened and came to
Omaha Wednesday. After a weary and un
successful search for a place to work she
concluded to end her sorrows by taking poi
son. She secured a small quantity , but her
strange actions caused the druggists to re
fuse to sell her enough to produce death.
She went Into Sherman & McConncll's and
the clerk becoming suspicious put up a
harmless drug and gave to her , which she
swallowed on going out of the door. An
officer took the girl to the pollco station and
she was turned over to the care of Matron
Cummlngs , who succeeded In getting her to
relate her troubles. It was thought that the
girl had become demented , but Dr. Towne ,
wlio examined her , says that her mind Is all
right , bul that she Is suffering a severe at
tack of despondency.
Agnes will be held until a good home can
b : secured for her and attempts will bo made
to keep her cheered up so that she wlil for
get her sad situation.

( use ContcAtantg Will Appeal.
County Judge Baxter yesterday afternoon
passed upon the Father Ryan will case , holdIng -
Ing that the document was legal and en
titled to probate , It not having been secured
by undue Influence. Notfca of appeal was at
once given by the attorneys for the con

trict court.
Father Ryan had been a priest of the
Catholic church for upwards of forty years ,
and during that time ho had accumulated
property worth something like $40,000. When

prior to his death he had left a will In which
ho had bequeathed all of his property , with
the exception of some $8,000 , to the elm reft ,

a sister. As soon as the will was filed for
probate some nieces and nephews Instituted
a contest , alleging that the disposition of
the property to the church was secured by
undue Influence exerted by the bishop and
others In authority.

CENTENNIAL OF BRYANT.
Comiuemomtliii ; the lootli Anniversary of
the 1'oot'B Illrth.
The picturesque village of Cummlngton ,
nestling In the valley of the Connecticut , In
Massachusetts , celebrated yesterday the cen
tennial of the birth of William Cullen Bryant.
The real anniversary of Bryan's birth does
not come until November 3 , but the observ
ance Is held at this time because In Novem
ber the snow Is on the Hampshire hill. It
Is too late for an out-of-door obs rvance ,
and admirers of Bryant who have summer
homes In the adjoining hills would have re
turned to the city.
The visitor to Cummlngton probably finds
It little changed from Bryant's time , so far
as the number of people are concerned. The
town has less than 1,000 people , as It had
In his boyhood. The center of the town ,
however , has drifted from the hilltops , where
Bryant was born , where he spent the early
years of his young manhood and the last
summers of hl life , down Into the valleys.
The people of Cummlngton retain fully as
lively a recollection of what Bryant did for
their material prosperity ns they do of his
