LINCOLN , June 26. ( Special. ) Among th
few disinterested bills passed by the las
legislature , and which will go Into cftec
August 1 , are several relating to public park :
Nebraska Is , comparatively , a new state , an
heretofore but little attention has been pal
ito the ornamentation of cities or villages an
the consequent provision for breathing place
located In the very midst ot a town's busl
ness activity.
In the last legislature Senator Holbroo
eeems to have given considerable attention t
the matter ol public parks for small citlc :
Senate ( lie ICO provides for the creation c
boards ot park commissioners In cities c
more than G.OOO and less than 25.000 Ir
habitants , while senate file 159 empowers th
same class of cities to take land In fee wlthl
their corporate limits , or within live miles , b
donation , devise or purchase , for parks an
public grounds. In the first bill , whlc
becomes a law August 1 , It Is provided tha
the board of park commissioners shall b
composed ot three members , resident fret
holders of the city , who shall b5 appolnte
by the Judge or Judges of the judicial dli
trlct In which eald city Is situated. Th
members of the board are to be appoint ?
on the second Monday of January , 1S9G , c
on tbe second Monday of January follovvln
the establishment ot a park In any city , or
lor the term of one year , one for two yeai
and one for three years. A majority of tli
members constitute a quorum , and It I
made their duty to lay out , improve an
beautify all grounds owned by the city t
acquired for public park purposes.
At their tlrst meeting after the secon
Monday In January the board will ele <
ono of Us own members as chairman. Iloat
members receive a salary of but $10 pr yea
For the purpose of providing funds for U
payment of these salaries and for laylr
out. Improving and beautifying parks or
public grounds and for salaries and wagi
of park employes , the mayor and counc
khall each year , at the tlmo of making tl
levy of taxes for general city purposes , ma !
a levy of not less thin Is mill and not oxceci
Ing 2 mills , on ell real estate and person
property \vlV ; ' ' 13 city limits , which sha
constitute in pk fund of the city.
Senate file 159 , authorizing the purchase <
lands for park purposes , provides : "Tl
jurisdiction of the mayor and city council >
any city that shall acquire any real csta
as herein contemplated , and the police powi
thereof , shall bo at once extended over tl
Dime by virtue of this act , and the mayi
and city council shall have power to cna
by-laws , rules and ordinances for the prote
tlon and preservation of any real estate i
herein contemplated , and provide sultab
penalties for the violation ot any such ord
nances. "
"The mayor and city council are authorlzi
to borrow money and pledge the property <
the city upon Its ncgotlabla bond * to an
amount not exceeding In the aggregate $15-
000 for the purpose of Improving and pur
chasing park lands and public ground * . This
can bo done by a majority vote of the elec
tors voting on the question. The called elec
tion for this purpose may be had at any gen
eral election , or any other time. "
It will bo seen that , according to the pro
visions of these two bills , district judges will
bo called upon before long to appoint quite a
number of park boards throughout the state ,
This Is upon the atsumptlon that small cities
will avail themselves ot the provisions of
tlicso t\\o measures.

LINCOLN. Juno 20. ( Special. ) At the In
stance of State Auditor Moore , Deputy Insur
ance Commissioner Peters visited the office ,
tn the Draco block , of the Teachers' Na-
t.onal Fraternal Ilcneflt association , and had
an Interview with the supreme scribe and
dean of finance , M. 0. Olvcns. The books
wore not ehown to Peters , but In a rather
Informal talk the deputy was given to under
stand that during the six months In which
this Insurance company has been engaged
In business It had received but $15 from one
party for a policy. As explained to Peters ,
the company was actively engaged In secur
ing the signatures of 250 teachers who arc
willing to promise to Insure with them pro
vlded the final steps are taken toward per
fcctlni ; the organization. During the past
six months Supreme Chancellor President A.
1C. Gaudy has made a large number of trips
over the state In the Interests ot the com
pany , nnd Supreme Scribe Glvcns certainly
told a reporter for The hee that the com
pany was do ng a good business , Increasing
dally , and Hint the outlook for continued
prosperity was good.
However , the fact that but ono actual appll
cant has been fitted out with a Ufa Insurance
policy on the payment of $15 violates the
law. State Auditor Moore says that until
the company perfects He organization by
applying for a certificate It has no right to
issue even one policy.
In January the Teachers' National Fra
tcrnal Hcncflt association Issued a circular , In
which appears the following appeal for Im
mediate business :
"The association Is endorsed , supported
and sustained morally and financially by such
a grand array of prominent educators , bene
factors , legislators , politicians , judges , states
men , ministers , physicians , lawyers , mer
chants , and especially true , worthy , tireless
and deserving teachers ot all grades , that you
should Immediately join the earnest corps ol
workers by securing a membership In this
association and thus add your Influence and
support to the most complete and desirable
organization of Its kind In the world. Address
the Teachers' National Fraternal Benefit
association , Lincoln , Neb. "
Hero an appeal Is made for Immediate
business , lly Its own admission the com
pany has already violated the law by receiv
ing money before complying with the re
quirements of the state Insurance depart
ment. It refuses to show Its books to the
deputy Insurance commissioner. It says that
business Is flourishing and dally Increasing.
The auditor says he shall continuo his Inves
tigations of the modus operand ! of this com
pany until he arrives at the bottom facts.

KEARNEY , Neb. , June 2C. ( Special. ) At
a meeting of the directors of the Buffalo
County Agricultural society , held yesterday
afternoon , It was decided to have a county
exhibit at the state fair In Omaha this fall ,
and H. II. Barney was selected to canvass
the county and make the necessary arrange
ments for a largo and suitable display. Buf
falo county can make a good showing this
fall , and It Is expected now that she will be
largely represented at the state fair.
Saturday evening Chief of Police Overmler
received a telegram from Sheriff Dean of
Hall county to arrest one Ilay Hlckards , who
was wanted In Grand Island for malicious de
struction of property at the Palmer house.
The chief found his man Sunday and yes
terday the sheriff took him home.
Some time ago the Board of Supervisors
appropriated a sum of money to be paid as
a bounty on gopher scalps. The appropria
tion has now been exhausted and the county
treasurer refuses to register warrants drawn
for that purpose , as ho says there Is no law
authorizing him to do so. H Is understood
that a suit will be brought at the next term
of the district court to compel the treasurer
to register them , and there ore a number of
small boys In the county who are decidedly
Interested In the result of the case.
The footings of the assessor's books for
Buffalo county show a falling off of $274.-
251.28 from 1891 , but by economizing In a few
places the board succeeded In reducing the
levy 3 % mills , making the total only 15 mills
for county purposes for this year. The city
of Kearney suffered the heaviest loss In valu
ation , hut the city levy Is just the same as a
year ago , the reductions In salaries and ex
penses having been made to correspond with
the decreased valuation.

GENEVA , Neb. , June 20. ( Special. ) W.
J. Zlrhut , the Mllllgan bank embezzler who

dollars. Ho fled , presumably to Mexico ,
leaving his family and wrecked bank to get
on the best way they could. The amount
of his defalcations Is variously placed at
from $17,000 to $25,000. While on a bust-
ness trip to Baltimore from his hiding In

ried here last night to Miss Lena Schneider
of Syracuse , Neb. Trot. Chaplin was for
seven years superintendent of schools In
this city and has a host of warm friends
here.
here.The citizens of Geneva are stirred up
over the financial condition ot their public
schools. There are unpaid warrants against
the district to the amount of about $5,000
and not a cent In the treasury to pay them ,
The taxes of next year with the state ap
portionment are not going to be adequate
to meet the expenses of that year. The
Board o'f Education called a meeting ol
the citizens last night to discuss the situa
tion. No satisfactory solution was reached. .
It was proposed by some to vote bonds tc
meet the floating Indebtedness. U was
urged by others that the expenses ot next
year bo reduced either by cutting down the
teaching force or by shortening the term. .
Still others Insisted that the only remedy
was to replenish the treasury by granting
saloon licenses. At present Geneva has nc
saloon. _ _ _ _ _ _

I1UTTE. Neb. , Juno 2C. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The court room was crowded this
morning with spectators , eager to hear
the arguments ot counsel In the famous
llarrctt Scott case , which Is fast drawing
to an end after holding public attention
for the past two weeks. The platform
around the judge's desk was occupied by
fifteen or twenty ladles , among them Mrs.
Scott , Miss McWhorter and Little Fannie
Scott. After calling Mcrt Roy to the stand
to testify to the Identity ot the harness
claimed to have been on the team which
drove the party away from Parker on
December 31 , and iMcLaughlln nnd Lon
Lear , who corroborated his statement , the
defense rested Its case and W. F. Gurley
of Omaha opened the argument for the state.
For more than an hour he held the audience
by his eloquence. Gurley dwelt for a time
on the so-called Vigilantes association In
Holt county. He discussed also the ques
tion of venue. Ho said the state had woven
a strong web of guilt about the defendants ,
Gurley's speech was confined to the Issue
Involved and ho did not go outside of the
case In his remarks.
W. T. Willis , county attorney of Doyd
county , spoke at great length for the state.
Ho was followed by T. V. Golden of O'Neill ,
one of the attorneys for the defense. Ho
contended that the highest prosecuting of
ficer ot the state had violated the principles
laid down In the constitution and declara
tion of Independence , which guaranteed the
right of every man accused of crime to
be tried by a Jury ot his peers In the county
In which the offense had been committed.
Golden made a strong , forceful and elo
quent argument In behalf of the defend
ants. He argued the venue of the case
and Insisted that Darrctt Scott was hanged
In Holt county. He was followed by J. J.
Harrington of O'Neill , a younger brother ot
M. F. Harrington. He spoke for more than
two hours. He was followed by M. F.
Harrington , who spoke until the hour ot ad
journment without having completed his
argument. He will conclude for the defense
tomorrow morning1 and will he followed by
the attorney general , who will close the cose
for the state.
It Is believed that the court will Instruct
the Jury that they will have to find , be
yond a reasonable doubt , that the hanging
of Barrett Scott took place within the con
fines of noyd county before they can bring
In a verdict of guilty. The case will hardly
he submitted to the Jury before noon to
morrow.

UNION PACIFIC COAL MINES
Probability is that Thsy Will Ba Lfasoil tea

TO BE DVORCEO FROM THE RAILROAD

When T. J. Totter was general manager
of the Union 1'aclflc he conceived the ldoa _
of leasing the coat lands of the company
to a corporation , to b ? organized for the
purpose , and to be operated by the corpora
tion , entirely Independent of the Union Pa
cific system. Many contingencies arose , how
ever , before he could carry out his system
of reform In the operation of the coal de
partment of the Union Pacific , and his resig
nation from the general management of the
great property dissipated all thoughts of ever
accomplishing the divorcement of the coal
department from the system , as a system.
Although little has been said of late years
regarding the farming out of the coal mines
of the Union Pacific to an Independent cor
poration , It Is generally understood that the
practical railroad men Interested In the
management of the property under
direction of the court have realized for
some time that a railroad cannot operate
coal mines and have complete ownership In
them and expect rival mines to use Its
facilities for transportation. A railroad Is a
common carrier , they claim , built for the
express purpose of transporting commodities
without discrimination and any other con
struction has been frowned upon by the
Interstate Commerce commission , as well ns
the courts of the United States.
The leaven , since the tlmo ot Mr. Potter ,
has been nt 'vork , and It Is now thought
probable that a company , within n very
iort time , will bo organized for the purpose
t working the great coal Interests of the
nlon Pacific on it long lease , which will be
dvantageous not only to the "Overland , "
> ut to the coal company as well.
Coal men In Omaha profess to see In the
cslgnatlon of G. W. Mege.Uh from the gen-
ral Biiperlntendency of the coal department
f the Union Pacific a strong Indication that
uch a departure Is to be taken In the near
uturo with Mr. Megeath a moving figure

rought suit In the district court of Adams
ounty , claiming' ' $2.r.OSO damages as a re-
ult of the malpractice on the part of the
nedlcnl servants of the company. In his
ictltlon he alleged that the amputation of
ils foot was necessary to save his life , but
he unskillful manner In which the amputa
lon was performed made the removal of
ils leg absolutely necessary. Howard was
member of the IJurllngton Voluntary Relief
epartment and accepted benefits which ,
inder the law , was a waiver of further claimer
or damages , and he , therefore , was compelled
o set up the unsklllfulness of the physicians
n charge to recover an additional amount
rom the company. The case was tried In
he district court , and a verdict for $0,000
vas rendered in the plaintiff's behalf. Tile
ase was carried to the supreme court , and
on last Saturday the verdict was set aside ,
he court holding that If the company was
not negligent In the selection of surgeons or
ihyslclans for employes , or If an employe ac-
epted the services of said sut goons or phy-
Iclans without protest , no complaint against
he company could be made on account of
alleged malpractice.
Cxpci-t tha Cut tn lli > nf Slicirt Duration
The cut on provisions by lines east of the
tllslssppl ! river is having the greatest possi
ble effect on packing house product from this
section. A reduction of 12 cents per 100
lounds Is of co much Importance to South
Jmaha packers that they are falling over one
another to get orders Into their branch
louses on this low rate. It la understood
that the cut will bo of short duration , and
consequently advantage Is being taken of
the situation by the packers of this section.
A freight official , talking of the cut , paid :
'Eastern lines have gone completely daft on
.his question of reduction. It only shows
: hat railroad oIHclals err quite as often as
; hose not In the employ of railway corpora
tions. It la another exemplification of the
old saw about common sense being the most
mcommon thing In the country. Efforts ire
being made to bring the lines together before
Juno 29 , when rate ? are to bo restored from
the section west of the Mississippi river. The
old rate on provisions from Chicago to New
York was 35 cents , and under the cut It I *
