STORY OF A MOTHER'S TROUBLE.
The cult In the district court for the cus
tody ot the llttlo child ot Mrs. Kllpatrlck
continues to develop sensational phases. The
grandparents of the 4-year-old boy desire
him to remain In their charge , alleging that
its mother Is an Improper person to have
control of htm. Yesterday the flics In the
k\ case were stolen from court , and It became
necessary for Clerk Baker to forcibly Impress
upon the attorneys the necessity ot their Im
mediate relurn. The petition and affidavits
recite that after Mrs. Kllpatrlck had secured
a divorce. In January last she went to re
side with the parents ot her divorced hus
band. While here. It Is alleged , she ne-
glocled her child , consorted with low charac
ters , attended vile dances and Immoral
.gatherings at West Lincoln , and frequented
wlno rooms , oflen remaining out until 4
o'clock in the morning. It Is charged that
on several occasions she visited wooded re
cesses ot Lincoln park with a certain married
man ot family , whoso name originally ap
peared In the petition , but was scratched out
either before filing or while It was temporarily
out of the cuslody of the clerk.
To such doings the Kllpatrlck family
strongly objected , and on the 3d Inst. Mrs.
Kllpatrlck left her homo and Is now living
with a Mrs. Losee. The romantic feature
ot the case Is evolved In the- alleged fact that
"while an Inmate of the elder Kllpatrlck's
residence tlio divorced woman kept company
with a reputable , honorable young man of
this city , who was devotedly attached to her
and sought to make her his wife. Being In
love ho provided her with money to bank for
htm and gave her considerable cosh with
wlitclj to purchase luxuries' and trinkets.
At the same time , it Is charged , she was
throwing dust In the eyes ot her honorable
L , lover by keeping ungodly hours and lewd
'company with some of the most notorious
sporting characters In tlio city. ,
Such Is the melancholy history of the
lwother who brought suit to gain possession
f ot her child and against whom a restraining
JijOrder has Just been Issued by the court. The
SHlttfe boy Is now with Its grandparents and
the mother says she will not again try to get

WASHINGTON , Nov. 22. The treasurer of
the United States , Hon. H. D. Morgan , has
submitted to Secretary Carlisle the annual
report on the operations and conditions of the
treasury. The net ordinary revenues for the
fiscal year ending June 30 , cents omitted , were
(297,722,019 ( , a decrease of $88,097,609 ns com
pared with the year before. The net ordi
nary expenditures were $357C25,279 , a de
crease of $15,932,084. Including the public
debt , the total receipts on all accounts were
$724,006,538 , and the expenditures $698,908-
552. At the close of business on June 30 ,
1893 , there stood on the books of the depart
ment , charged to the treasurer , a balance
of $733,407.653. Adding ( o this the receipts
on all accounts gives $1,462,474,093 as a total
to bo accounted for , and deducting the ex
penditures leaves a balance of $763,565,510
on Juno 30 , 1894. In addition to these bal
ances , however , there were other liabilities
arising from the postal revenues , from dis
bursing officers and from other sources which
brought the total to $770,041,803 at the former
date and to $801,854,753 at the latter.
After setting aside the amounts treated as
unavailable , the principal of which are th < >
deposits made with the states under the law
of 1E3C , there remained the sum of $740,638-
655 In 1893 and the sum of $775,310,559 In
1894 , represented by llvo assets In the several
offices of the treasury and mint , together
with deposits In national banks. Of these
balances the sums of $581,593,920 and $616-
155,820 , respectively , were on deposit for the
redemption of outstanding certificates and
treasury notes , leaving $161,994,735 and $15'J-
154,739 as the balances on account of the gen
eral fund.
The treasurer remarks the Impairment of
the gold reserve , rendering necessary the Is
sue of bonds In February , was caused chiefly
by the depletion of the treasury resulting from
Insufficient revenues. Even when the supply
of paper had become so reduced that the
treasury was obliged to pay out large sums
of gold In the ordinary disbursements the
coin was freely returned In the revenues.
The proceeds of this loan were $58,600,000
In gold coin and certificates , but during the
month of February there were redeemed
$19,200,000 of notes In gold , presumably to
meet subscriptions to the loan , BO the net gold
proceeds were about $39,500,000. This , to
gether with a gain of $1,500,000 In gold from
ordinary sources , brought up the reserve dur
ing the month from $65,000,000 to $100,500,000.
while the net assets of the treasury , -with an
excess of $7,000,000 of expenditures over re
ceipts for the month , Increased from $125 ,
000,000 to $177,000,000. During the succeed
ing months , till the end of the first week In
August , the reserve was affected by deficient
revenues and withdrawals of gold for export ,
movement abroad having been stimulated by
the necessity which the treasury was under
of furnishing to exporters new full weight
after the supply of old pieces had become
exhausted. The lowest point touched by the
reserve was $52.118,009 on August 7 , 1894.
REDEMPTION OF NOTES IN GOLD.
Prior to July , 1892 , the gold reserve was
but little affected by withdrawals of coin ,
there never having been nny considerable de
mand for the redemption of notes. Even
when gold exports were heavy the metal was
furnished by bankers from their vaults or
was obtained from the treasury far gold cer
tificates , of course without Impairment to the
reserve. During the last two years , however ,
the treasury has been called upon to furnish
nearly the whole of the requirements for ex
portation , and there have recently been con
siderable withdrawals for other use ? . To the
end of September the total redemptions of
United States notes In gold since the resump
tion of specie payments were $181,300,000 ,
and the total redemption of the treasury
notes In gold from their first Issue were $68-
500.000.
The two important events of the year
affecting the condition of the public debt were
the issue of $50,000,000 or G per cent bond :
to replenish the gold reserve and the stoppage
of the purchase of silver bullion by the issue
of treasury notes.
With reference to the retirement of treasury
notes , the treasurer says that prior to Au
gust , 1893 , the treasury had been able to pro
vide for the redemption of treasury notes In
silver dollars out of the holdings of free sil
ver , so that there had not been up to that
time any Impairment of the total amount of
the silver fund accumulated under the act.
On the 3rd of that month , however , the sliver
dollars and bullion In the treasury had be
come reduced to the amount required by law
for the payment of outstanding treasury notes
and certificates , and the demand for the re
demption of notes continuing In consequence
of the scarcity of the small denominations of
currency , It became necessary to draw upon
the dollars coined especially for that purpose ,
SILVER NOTES CANCELLED.
The silver fund being thus Impaired , the
notes so redeemed were cancelled In order to
preserve the required equality between the
silver In the treasury and the notes outstand-
ng. The total amount at the notes retired
n this way up to October 31 was $4,790,434
The amount of the new Issues of United
States paper currency put Into circulation
during the year was $350.929,190 , having been
exceeded but once. In 1892. The amount of
worn and mutilated notes redeemed was
5310,002,290. This also has been exceeded
jut once , In 1893. The total paper circulation
reached Its highest point In May last , when It
stood at $1,175,000,000. Since then there has
seen a slight contraction , caused clilefly by
the gradual redemption and retirement o
gold certificates , the Issue of which was BUS-
Bended , as the law requires , when the' gold
reserve of the treasury fell below $100,000 ,
000.

treasury , they have been offered to the public
at par in exchange for gold or gold certifi
cates , and a considerable sum of them has
been distributed In that manner. The Isabella -
bella quarters In the treasury are retalne
for the requisition of the Board of Lady Man
agers of the exposition.
The amount of counterfeit silver coins an.
fractional currency detected.at the offices o.
the treasury during the year was $10,500 , an
Increase of $900 over the year before.
Uuder the provisions of the last Indian up
proprlatlon act the face value of certain de
faulted state bonds and stocks formerly be
longing to the Indian trust fund has been
placed upon the books of the treasury to th
credit of the several tribes , to draw Interest
at the rate of 5 per cent per annum , and the
bonds and stocks have become the property of
the United States.
There wai an Increase during the year of
$1,552,250 In the face value of the bonds held
on account of the * sinking fund of the Pacific
railroads , which amounted on June 30 to
$1.894.000.
Notwithstanding a change In the regulations
whereby senders of national hank , notes for
redemption were required to bear the charges
for transportation , the redemptions were the
heaviest since 1886 , amounting to $105,000-
000 , or more than half of the average circula
tion.

"Maud Rubel Is not dead , " Is the statement
made by the attorneys who are defending
am Payne on the charge of having mur-
lered that Individual.
It Is alleged that Maud Rubel Is not dead ,
> ut Is living In the south and has recently
vrltten a letter which has fallen Into the
lands of parties connected with th ? case.
Experts have declared that there Is no ques-
lon of the letter having been written by the
; lrl who was supposed to have been mur
dered and an effort will be made to locate
and prove her existence.
The existence of the letter in question
brings up all of the facts and theories that
ivero presented at the time of the coronvr's
Inquest , when the Identity of the deud clrl
was In doubt. It must be rcmembired that
ho murder Is supposed to have
> een committed on Sunday morning ,
and that the dead body was not discov
ered until Thursday , and that the body was
very badly cllscolo-ei and swollen , rendering
Identification vtry difficult. At that time It
was pointed out that the hair of the dead
ilrl was quite. long , while that of MauJ
ilubel when she was last seen by her parents
and friends was short. Evidence on thai
point has not bten very clear and Is still In
doubt.
But further than this there will be an at
tempt to establish the Identity of the dead
girl as another than Maud Hulul , a girl who
was on the down grada and was known to
the pollco and who disappeared at the time
Maud Uubel was reported as missing from
her home In South Omaha. These matters
will come out on the trial of ths case , which
was commenced anew yesterday. Wit
nesses have alto been called who are ex
pected to prove that Maud Rubel was seen
as late as 10 o'clock on the Sunday morning
when she was supposed to lmv been mur
dered at or before 8 o'clock. The. attorneys
for Payne arc saying nothing , but promise
some surprising testimony when the time
comes for them to present their defense In
the case.

GETTING ANOTHER 'JURY.
The work of securing a jury In the case wa
renewed yesterday and was complete !
just before the noon hour. Of the specla
venlro of 150 men more than 100 were callci
before the jury was complete. Four of the
panel were dismissed because they were more
than 60 yeara of agi , and one was excused 01
account of sickness. Of the entire list J. J
Phllbln was the only man called who In
slsted that his conscientious scruples again *
capital punishment would prevent him from
returning a verdict of murder In the fin
degree if the evidence warrantee
such verdict. He was cxciuei'
The jurors finally selected were

Jonas P. Johnson , Henry Forlander , M. J
wailams , John II. Bell. Carl F. Palm. Wll
Whltmore , Thomas McKay , John Hertz
Joseph Kelley.
Judge Scott took no chances of anolhe
recurrence of the Hwanson Incident and afte
the jury had been sworn asked that an
member of the jury who was not a lega
citizen and voter should make the fac
known , Tbo men were all citizen * and wer
ccpptcd for the trial of the case.

lo showed what the state would attempt to
> rove , basing his chief evidence on the con-
esslons of Payne. Mr. Tuttle promised the
ury that he would show that there was not
vldence to show that the murdered girl waa
ilauil Rubel and that the only evidence of
ho state , the confession of Payne , had been
rung from him by the Dohuo while ho was
n the sweat box and under great pressure.
Already the matter of a now trial Is being
irepared for by the defense In case a verdict
s found against Payne. In the selection of
Jury four men were accepted by Judge
colt who stated that they had opinions
fhlch It would require ovldonco to remove.
After they had been objected to by the
ttorney for the defense Judge Scott asked
hem If their opinions , formoJ from news-
iaper reports , would stand In the face of
worn evidence of witnesses on the stand
ml the Jurors all stated that they would not.
The defendant's attorneys claim that the
action of the court furnishes ground for a
lew trial of the case and will make their
Ight on that ground If it becomes necessary
o ask for a row trial.
STARTING OVER ON TESTIMONY.
Jeweler Brodegard was the first witness
called by the state. He swore that ho met
ilaud Rubel about 7:50 : o'clock on the Sun
day morning when she Is supposed to have
> een murdered. She appeared to bo In trou-
lie and wanted to borrow GO cents with which
o rent a room for one day. She said she
lad left homo tor good. He refused to glvo
he girl the money. He described the cloth-
rig worn by the girl and noticed especially
hat she wore a pair of light brown plush
louse slippers.
On cross-examination Mr. Brodegard stated
positively that the slippers presented In court
were not these worn by Maud Rubel when he
taw her. These wereths slippers taken from
Sugar Lump Clark and alleged to have been
akon from the body of Maud Rubel. The
vltnesa ttated that the slippers worn "by Maud
Rubel wers more reddish In color than those
exhibited In the court room.
Embalmer Matthews , In the employ of Cor
oner Maul , explained how the body was found ,
describing the clothing found on the
Lody. Ho testified that the b 3y was very
badly swollen , gases were escaping from the
mouth , noitr.la were distended , the face was
ululsh black and decomposition had set In
around the hair so that the hair slipped from
the head when he attempted to straighten It.
Dr. Ghadwlck , who made the autopsy , testl-
lied concerning the bruises on the head.
Three-fourths of the brain was found so soft
that It ran out and the brain was flooded
with bloody serum. Ho described In detail
the condition of various portions of the body ,
lie stated that tlio girl's death was due to
brain concussion , which might have been
caused by a blow from a tandbag or some
blunt Instrument , or a flat surface , or pos
sibly by a fall. Ho testified that the lunga
were very badly congested , showing that much
violence had ben used , that the body had
bsen beaten or brulsad about the chest. The
skull , although unusually thin , had not been
fractured. The body was very badly de
cayed.
IDENTIFICATION OF BODY.
Coroner Maul testified to his part In the
cate , the holding of the Inquest and the burial
of the body ,
George Mahoney knew Maud Rube ) for sev
eral years. Knew her very well. Had not
seen her for several months until he saw
her at the morgue. Identified the body at
the morgue as that of Maud Rub l by the
color of her hair and by I In general ap
pearance. He was at the morgue from three
to six minutes and made another brief In
spection of the body later on.
