    THE PAELY BEIh SUNDAY , JUNE 2 , 1895.
Startling Revelation of
Occult Science.
As the Magnet Attracts the Steel
SoDo the Human Nagnets
Draw the Multitude.
Thunders of Applause Greeted
Their Maraelous Demonstration
nt Doyd's Theater Last Night
Many Well Known Citizens of
This City Were Instantly Cured
of Their Afllictions on the Public
Stage.
One of the largest audiences ever assem
bled at IJoyd'B New theater was gathered
there last night and Frldajr night to witness
the opening and closing demonstrations of
the two magnetic healers In Omaha. Frl
day evening was their Introduction to the
public of this city , and they wcro greeted
l > y 2,000 people , standing room being at a
premium long before 7 o'clock. As early
as C p , m. an Immense throng of afflicted
humanity congregated In front of the thea
ter , all eager to bo the nrst to enter.
Some came to bo cured of various dls
casog , and others to witness their marvelous -
ous power of healing the slsk and to nee a
most remarkable exhibition.
It 'seemed that their wonderful fame bad
surely preceded them , as long before tbe
tlmo of opening a great number of all
classes of people , these in perfect health ,
as well OB the sick , crippled and rheumatic
were clamoring for admission , having come
from all parts of the city and state ; the
merchant , the millionaire and tlie artisan
on foot and In carriages all were seen
hurrying toward the great Mecca of health
When' the doors were thrown open In
less than llfteen minutes the Orchestra
seats were all occupied by a crowd of crip
pica and people afflicted with various dls
cases , the like ot which was never assembled
in the IIOUBO before.
The wisest , best educated and most en
lightened people are daily becoming converts
to these new principles and methods , whlcli
are supported by Biich overwhelming evl
dcnces sustained by public and private dcm
onstratlons of the most remarkable character
tor ; proofs which no reasoning mind can
dUpute ; realities which echo and re-echo In
the human mind as they witness the grand
est and inmt sublime panorama of living
truths ever presented In the history of man.
Surely the human magnets have captured
the hearts of the people of Omaha , and their
private treatments at their private ofllce In
the 1'axton hotel will no doubt occupy al"
their time during their thort stay In thl
to city.They
They not only cure the blind , lame an <

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Uowell's ' Communication Urging Further
Retrenchment Heferred ,
SEVERAL SECONDARY HEADS AIMED AT
Declared tliat by ttio I'l.in l'ropo od Ten
Thousand Dollnrs May lift Saved Old
Illlli of the llarber Company to
lie 1'urthor
At the special meeting of the city coun
cil last evening Councilman Ho well sprung a
surprise In the form of a communication
suggesting sweeping retrenchments in the
clerical force at the city hall , and a reduc
tion In salrlcs of all municipal employes who
receive over $50 per month. The communi
cation was :
To the Honorable Mnyor and Kellow
Members of the City Council of Omnlm :
Gentlemen "Hopp lonjr deferred nmketh
the heart sick. " It ngam becomes my duty
to call your attention to the lack of econ
omy and Immediate need for retrenchment
nil along the linn In running Uie city ntfalm
for tin ; remainder of this year. I > ; t mo
quote from his honor , the inuyor , "That we
are trying to rim a great bl threshlnc ma
chine with nothing to feed It with , " but
on the other hand , when the mayor and
city council met last February to mnke
the anniml levy for this yrar. there waH
an earnest effort made , without avail , to
In-slst on retrenchment cnch department
asking for nn Increafpd appropriation , the
mayor's department alone asking for $500
more tbnn last year.
At the present rate of exnendlluro * there
will bo a shortage In nearly every depart
ment of the city government , and moro
particularly In the peneral fund. Innjr be
fore the llrst of next year. I would thcrc-
"ore respectfully miKnest :
The absolute prohibition of expenditures
from tbo general fund , except in cucii of
The discharge of ono man In the city
clerk's ofllce ut a salary of not less than
'ICO ' per month.
The discharge of two men In the treas
urer's olllce , drawing salaries of not less
thnn $173 per month.
The discharge of ono man In the comp
troller's olllce ut a salary of not leas than
[ 100 i > er' month.
The discharge of one clerk In the olllee
of the Hoard of Public Works nt a salary of
not less than $75 per month.
The discharge of the assistant commis
sioner of health at a salary of $100 per
month , nml two sanitary Inspectors nt a.
salary of $ GO per month each.
The reduction In salary of the mayor's
private cecretnry from $125 to $100 per
month.
A reduction of 20 per cent In all salaries
paid city employes except those who now
receive salaries of $50 p r month or less ,
but In no cnse should this reduction make
any salary less than Xti per month.
Theso. gentlemen , are a. few suggestions
that will save In salaries nlono over J10.000
for the remainder of this year , and If sug
gestion No. 1 , In reference to the prohibi
tion of expenditures from the general ftim
except In cases of emergency , Is adhered
to It will save nn untold amount. It does
Bcem to me that with every private enter
prise running nt a. low ebb nnd their ex
penses cut to the bottom notch , that It Is
the duty of this council to mnke nn honest
effort to relieve nn overburdened nnd over
taxed community.
In Conclusion let me say that It Is not n
pleasant duty to be compelled to advocate
either the discharge of tin employe or the
reduction of his salary , but an emergency
exists , nnd I never have been nnd am not
now afraid to < lo my duty. I jvould re-
Bpoclfully ns-k that this communication bo
referred to our llnanoe committee for In
vestigation and report , knowing that my
position Is correct , and believing that not
only this committee , but the entire coun
cil , should concur In giving the necessary
relief. I semi these suggestions nt this
tlmo In order that whatever definite action
is taken may bo had nt once , so that the
necessary ordinances may bo prepared am
pawed In time to take effect July 1 , or for
the last six months of this year.
Mr. Howell's suggestion was referred to
the committee on finance.
A resolution author.zlng the health com
mlssloner to have printed and distributed
to all Interested , cards showing the price psr
wagonload , or fraction thereof , to be chargci
by the garbage contractor , was referred to
the pollca committee.
The special committee to which was re
ferred the claim of the Barber Asphalt com
pany from 1S90 to 1891 reported that some
portions of the contract were ambiguous , and
recommended that the claims be referred to
the Board of Public Works to Investigate
more fully and report upon , and also recom
mended that the Barber Asphalt company bi
notified to appear before the board and ex
plain the claims as presented more specific
ally.
ally.The finance committee , to which was re
ferred the appropriation ordinance , reportet
favorably save with respect to Items of $2 , .
for clerk , hire per month for the health com
mlssloner. and $ G5 for janitor at the clt }
Jail. This caused some discussion , In whlcl
Councilm.cn Howell , Thomas ; and Gordon
participated. The report of the commltte
was adopted , excepting the janitor's salary
During the discussion a legal point wa
raised , but the city attorney was not presen
to decide. This aroused the Indignation o
Councilman Howell , who censured C.ty At
torney Connell for continued absence from
council meetings. A contention arose- eve
the payment of $100 to Assistant Pollc
Clerk Brown , but the committee report t
pay him for the services was concurred In
The ordinance was then placed upon It
third reading and passed by a vote of 1 :
to 3.
The rules were suspended nnd a resolution
Instructing City Attorney Council to attem'
council meetings regularly until otherwis
ordered was Introduced by Councllmai
Howell. The Utter claimed that the city
attorney put in tlmo at church soclabtea
that should 1)3 glren to the council. Th
resolution was tabled.

TO IIAISK TIIBIH otrxyiE.tr
reach IteonomtiU of the Opinion It Can
Alt llo Produced at Home.
WASHINGTON , June 1. United States
Consul Chancellor at Havre has submitted
o the State department an exhansHvo report
poti food preparation and distribution. He
ays the recent alleced scarcity of meat In
ho United States , together with a very gen-
ral suspicion of American food supplies ,
lave co-operated to bnng before the minds
t the people of Europe the necessity of look-
ng to home production for supplies , and
iuch has already ben done to consolidate
ind Increase this disposition by Interdicting
he Importation of American cattle and by
ttetnptlng to supply the deficiency by sub-
tltutlng horse flesh or by such means as
ohtlcal economists have endeavored to dem-
nstrato as practical under the following
iroposltlons :
1. That an abundant supply of home grown
meat and foods can bo obtained at low
prices.
2. That they are capable of being prepared
or consumption so as to yield much better
esults than have been hitherto obtained.
3. That they can be effectively cooked In
a much more economical manner than here-
ofore.
4. That they may be distributed so as to
> e promptly delivered in any and every dl-
ection to satisfy the wide and varied re
qulrements of every class of consumers.
It Is said that statistics show that all the
oed required by the people of France can
> o produced In the country , and thus put In
ho pockets of the French peasants many
millions of francs hitherto sent abroad , while
he price of beef cattle at the same time
could be reduced eo as to bring it within the
reach of the poorer classes In Increased
quantities.
The consul says this doubtless Involves the
use of horse flesh and certain refuse matter
of slaughter houses , such as bones and offal ,
which have before been thrown away.
MAKING NO CI1ANHKS IN ITS TKIIIMS
Itorlnc Sim Hill Introduced In Parliament
! nfmplr to Diane * Iln Plinnroloify.
WASHINGTON , Juno 1. It Is stated at
the British embassy that the new Bering
sea bill which Sir Edward Gray announced
n the House of Commons yesterday 's
one perfecting the phraseology of the present
act without altering or extending Its sub
stantial features. It will not , It is said , en-
arge the zone or extend the closed season ,
as these points are fixed by the Paris award
and are not subject to variation until a new
award is made. Officials of both govern
ments appear to agree , however , that the
protected zone should be extended from
sixty to 200 miles , as expert testimony es
tablishes it as a fact that the female seal
gees far outside the sixty-mile limit and
can be slaughtered without regard to the
government patrol. A change In this par
ticular cannot be effected , however , until
the governments have further conferences.
Sir Julian Pauncefote , the British ambas
sador , sails on Tuesday next for his sum
mer vacation In Great Britain. Ho will
probably be In London when the Bering sea
bill Is Introduced and debated , but he does
not anticipate that the debate will have any
significance on the general subject.

In view of his prominence among the silve

today what sliver legislation would be en

Company 1U Illchl ( to Own Hi URlce

Iti Town Moartlia ! Hit City
on III
CH1CAOO , Juno 1. Several months ago
Attorney General Moloney began quo war-
ran to proceedings against Pullman's Palace
Car company for the purpose of taking away
he company's charter and terminating Its
corporate existence. Iti his .Information the
attorney general set up that the car com
pany had violated Its charter by bnjrlng real
estate anQ building the town of Pullman ; by
erecting and operating the Pullman building
n this city ; by manufacturing brick and In
other ways. The case has been pending In
the courts ever since. It was elaborately
argued some time ago , and Judge Baker
landed down his decision today. The dec !
slon was favorable to the company in all
points but one. The court held that the
company had the right to own the Pullman
building , the brick yard and to sell liquor on
cars , but had no right to own Pullman Iron
and Steel company stock. No judgment was
entered againat the company.
It Is unilomood that tno company will ac
cept the tlndliig of the court In the matter of
the stock In the Iron and steel company and
will at enc < 3 dispose of 11.
Judge Hakur's opinion is a long and ex
haustive one. fully considering each of the
usurpations charged and discussing the law
applicable to them. He lays down that
under Its Implied powers the company had
Full authority to do all It was claimed that
It had done , except as to the stock in the
small subsidiary company. As to the funda
mental question of the right of the company
to build and own the town of Pullman for
the purposes for which It was built anil
owned , the position ot the company was fully
sustained In every particular. The decision
Is regarded by the Pullman ofllclals as a very
important victory for the company and a
complete Justification of its action In the es
tablishment and ownership of the well
known town which bears the name of Us
founder.
Incidentally Judge Baker held that the
company exceeded the power granted by Its
charter In buying twenty-three acres of land
which It has not used , in its business. The
company , however , had and has the right ,
Judge Baker decided , to construct- the big
olQce building at Adams street and Michigan
avenue ; to sell liquor to Its patrons in dining
cars ; to supply water and gas to its tenants ,
the right to build houses and sell to Its
employes ; to erect churches and school build
ings In Pullman and to-own land for switchIng -
Ing and car storage purposes.
The ruling of the court does not affect the
company to any material extent. The Inter
ests touched arc said ( o .be worth not more
than $50,000 , which > js an insignificant sum
to a corporation with (3U.OOO.UOO capital and
$25.000,000 surplus. , The. decision Is , In ef
fect , a declaration bat | O corporation may
engage In any business which may be con
sidered as advantageous ! or merely an ad
junct to the business specifically set out In
Its charter without violating the law or ex
ceeding Its corporate phwers. Thus the
court holds that the company had to erect an
office building which .woukl ba large eiiougl
to accommodate. Its , , business for years to
come , no matter how considerable the In
crease , and had the right to rent out. In the
meantime , such portions of the building as
were not required for the company's own use
The Bale of liquor in dining cars was de
clared to be a desirable and necessary accom
modation for the comfo'rt and convenience o :
the persons traveling/ / Hie cars. The con
struction of the town pfjPullman. Is said to
bo part of the general plan of operations Ira
Piled In tliexompanj-s ! charter , and therefore
falls within the power' hnd province ot the
corporation.
HOW Hi KILLED HIM ,
Lurry Itohcn Describes His Traclo En
counter with llnrry I'nrker.
On being taken to the county jail last even
ing to await trial Larry Bohen , charged with
the murder of Harry Parker , described the
quarrel.
"We were playing at craps Friday after
noon , " said young Bohen to a representative
of The Bee , who called to see him in his eel
last evening. "I had just come from eating
dinner at the house of my sister , Mrs. Mag'
gle I'lman , who lives at 1109 Davenpori
street. Between Davenport and Capitol av
enue , back of the brick barn close to the
alley , some colored boys were playing craps
and I joined them. We played for cigarette
pictures. I was to g t a picture ; the other
three boys had theirs , and It was my turn
to get a picture , but Parker didn't want mete
to have It. Parker , I think , had a whole
handful ot pictures himself. The way we
played was this : Kach boy was to have
three throws , and each boy got a picture In
turn. Parker and I got to quarreling , and
he jumped and pulled a knife on me. He
didn't want mo to have the picture. Then
I got pretty well excited.
"We quarreled , 1 should think , for fifteen
minutes. There was a white woman In the
window , and she told us to stop or she wouli
call a policeman. I told him to stop , an <
put up my knife I h ld In my hand , bu
had not opened. I went away snd looke <
back , and he was following me , and he stll
bad a knife In his hand. Then I opened my
knife , for I saw he had also seized a cane
He struck at me two or three times am
missed me and once he hit me , though
kept jumping out of his way. When I struck
at him with my knife 1 hardly knew wha
I was doing. I then turned and ran home
He was following me. I didn't know what
had happened , though I thought I had hit
him. When I pulled ray knife I was pretty
well excited. The knife Parker had was a
black-handled knife. I think one of the'
blades was broken. I am not sure. I didn't
see much ; I only saw half of It. He pulled
It out of his right pants pocket.
"I knew Parker for a while , just knsw him
when I saw him , that Is all. I was In Kan
sas City last winter. I went there to my

STATISTICS OF 3tlA Kll.ll. I'HUItOCTJUX
Small Dccrciiso In Volume and n Croat
Hirlnkuco In Value * .
NEW YORK. Juno 1. The statistics of the
mineral and metal products of the United
States in 1894 , compared with the output In
1893 , have been compiled with care and wil
be published today by the Engineering and
Mining Journal. Ttie total values of the mln
eral and metal production ot the United
States In 1894 and 1893 were as follows : For
1893 , $615,846.806 ; 1S9J , $553,272,902 , n decline
for 1894 of about $62,573,904 , or 9 per cent.
The great falling off was , however , duo far
more to the- lower prices than to lessened
quantity of product. Thus the value of our
coal production declined last year $13,783,828 ,
or 7 per gent , while In quantity it fell off only
6,220,970 short tons , or 3'/4 per cent. This
small decline In the volume of coal produced
Is substantially a measure ot the whole mln
oral output of the country.
The copper output Increased 8 per cent , from
327.555,588 pounds in 1893 to 353,504,314
pounds in 1S94 , though In value It declined no
less than $1,639.508 , or 4H per cent. The
production of gold increased from $3n,955,000
In 1893 to $39,761,205 In 1894 , but the com
merclal value ot the silver produced declined
from $17,311,450 In 1893 to $31.403,531 In 1894.
a fall of $15,907,929 , or 34 per cent. This
was partly due to a reduced production. 65 ,
000,000 ounces In 1893 and only 49.846,875
ounces In 189) , but the price also declined
from 78.2 cents per ounce In 1893 to C3 cents
In 1894.
On the whole the mineral Industry of the
United States has made a highly satisfactory
showing in 1894 In the quantity produced
over such an enormous shrinkage In values ,
With prices lower than ever before though
possible , and In the majority of the cases
lower than similar articles arc produced any *
where else in the world , the output has de
cllned but little. The low prices no doub' '
maintained a large consumption , and now
with reviving prosperity and prices the pro
ducers will reap the harvest for which they
planted In the hard times.

Mother nnd Daughter Found Dead In ThoJr
Apartments.
MINNEAPOLIS , June 1. A strange cas
of murder and suicide occurred at an early
hour this morning. Mrs. Martha Ellas an
her daughter were found weltering I
'
their own blood In their own rooms over a
drug store on Nlcolet avenuo.
U is the belief that It is not a case o
sulcldo , but that both were murdered. It 1
believed by the police that the deed wa :
committed by Lorraln D. Ellas , son of th
murdered woman. Ellas Is mentally unbal
anced , and was for a time confined In th
asylum at St. Peters , but was released Ma ;
1 as harmless. His grip , containing mono.
and clothing marked with his name , wa
found In his room , and the curtain of th
back window taken by him when he cscapei
was found.
A clean-cut bullet hole through the glas
of the front window showed that one she
went wild. At the morgue It was discov
cred that the victims had been hacked an
bruised with some Instrument like a batche
and that the wounds were sufficient In th
case of the girl at least to have produce
death.
The revolver was not clutched tightly 1
the old lady's hand , as It would have bee
had she died thus , but appeared to hav
been thrust Into her hand. The police ar
now looking for the crazy son. The daughte
was 25 years of ago and was engaged to b
married. She was the manager of a sue
cessful laundry.

NEW YORK. June 1. The World tomorrow -
morrow will publish a telegraphic poll ot the
next congress , as far as obtainable , upon
the Mlver , tariff and Income tax questions.
The World sums up the result as follows :
In n general way It may be said that out of
116 members who gave uncqulvoc.il answers
to the sliver question fitly-live arc In favor
of free coinage , forty-four favor bimetal
lism , generally with the proviso ot an In
ternational agreement. Only seventeencan ,
be fairly classed as favoring a single gold
standard , and the attitude ot sonio of these
even Is not definite. The south and far
western states arc almost unanimous for
free coinage , the central status loan toward
silver , with International bimetallic qualifi
cations , and It Is only In New York , New
England and the adjacent eastern states
that there are any avowedly gold standard
men.
In regard to the tariff , only twenty-eight
members are against any change , while
thirty-five favor moderate changes and
thirty-eight are In favor of radical changes.
A few are free traders. The moderates nro
chiefly thoKc who think changes will be
necessary In order to increase revenues.
The Income tax question brought out
many sharp and piquant answers. Forty-
nine congressmen say they favor the prln-
iple ot the tax ; forty-seven oppose it. A
; roat many evaded the question or failed to
uswer It.
A few details by states will ba Interesting :
Alabama , Arkansas , California , Colorado ,
Florida , Idaho , Mississippi , Montana , Ne
vada , North Carolina , South Carolina. South
Dakota , Virginia , Washington and Wyoming
re solid for silver so far as heard from.
The blmetalllsts are chiefly In Delaware ,
eorgla , Illinois , Indiana , Iowa , Kansas ,
Louisiana , Michigan , Minnesota , Missouri ,
Nebraska , Ohio , Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. New York , New Jersey , Penn
sylvania , Rhode Island and Vermont have
ho gold delegates. Alabama , Arkansas ,
Texas , the Carollnas , Georgia , Louisiana
and most of the other southern states are
lolld for the Income tax. New York and
lie cast generally oppose U. Elsewhere the
division Is nearly even.

Senator Sherman AiniTor * Some of the
Nrtr Yorker's Criticism * .
CINCINNATI , Juno 2. The Commercial
azetto's special from Mansfield says : Sen
ator Sherman , In reply to a query last night
as to whether ho had read Senator Hill's
criticism of his Zanesvlllo speech , said that
ho had , but that Senator Hill's remarks
would Indicate that ho had not read his
speech. "At all the conventions in Ohio , "
said the senator , "we have declared that we
are In favor of the use of both gold and
silver , maintained at par with each other.
To the extent that wo can maintain the
silver on a par with gold , we coin It at
the present ratio. Wo buy the silver nt its
market value and coin It at the legal ratio ,
but we maintain It by receiving It and payIng -
Ing It out as the equivalent ot gold. "
' "Is there anything In this to degrade
our dollar standard , as Senator Hill
says ? "
"H docs not degrade It. The whole of
our policy Is to maintain the two metals at
par with each other. "
"What about Senator Hill's sarcastic ref
erence to our silver dollars and greenback
dollars being exportable ? "
"Mr. Hill only displays his Ignorance
when he says that our silver money anil
all other forms are not receivable In Eng
land at the value we put upon It , because
wo receive It and they send It back on the
steamer at a trifling cost , and can use it in
payment instead of gold. They can present
silver certificates and wo receive the same
as gold In payment of duties and other
wise. If we refuse to receive them on a
parity with all other money we would at
once bo on the standard of silver. "

scores the state administration. For some
tlnio pant several investigations Into the con
duct of certain populist administration ofllce
holders , preferred generally by republicans ,
and which charged misappropriation of funds ,
immorality and drunkenness have been going
on. In two conclusions Warden Chase of
the state penitentiary has been found guilty
and ordered dismissed , while Populist Sen
ator Rosers was shown to have been n
drunkard and was reprimanded. In the In
terview ex-Governor Lewelllng says that for
Immorality at least four men In high ofllce
In Kansas are worse than Warden Cliaso ,
and that If every republican who Is as bad
a drunkard as Senator Rogers were Im
peached , the state house would be depopu
lated In a week. Ho gays the recent li -
vestlgatlons are an inspiration of political
lunacy , and adds that Governor Merrill is
all right , but that his friends and advisers
are leading him astray.
