Lincoln Loglnliitor * Aft r n Member for
Vlaltlng llomei of restitution.
LINCOLN , June 29. ( Special. ) A meeting
of Seventh word citizens , constituents of
Councilman Ewan , has cited that gentleman
to appear next Monday evening and , If pos
sible , purge himself of a very serious charge
affecting his character as a citizen and one of
the city fathers of Lincoln. In brief , the
charges are that ha deliberately , and alto
gether out of the line of official business ,
visited the residence of a colored prostitute
and while there was nbbed of his pocketbook -
book containing notes to the value of several
hundred dollars , $5 In cash and a number of
railway passes. Since the event , which Is said
to have occurred nearly a week ago , Mr.
Ewan has been profuse In explanations , which
have been noticeable more for their lack of
tlio element than anything else. It is claimed
that should he fall to satisfy the meeting of
Seventh ward citizens on Monday night he
will ba asked vigorously and emphatically
to resign his scat in the council.
At a meeting of the latter body last night
Ewan admitted the visit to the house of
shady repute and offered to resign then and
there , but the other members present re
fused to have It that way , and the case goes
over until Monday next.
As yet no decision has yet been banded
down by the district court In the case wherein
the creditors of Charley Mealier seek to pre
vent W. II. Dorgan from receiving a state
warrant for $33,408.90 , awarded him by the
appraisers of his prison property. It
develop ] that the three judges are divided
on the matter , which accounts for the fail
ure to write a decree embodying the views
of all. Unless they can get together at an
early day It Is quite probable two varying
opinions will ba rendered In the case. The
Farmers and Merchants National bank of
Galva , III. , one of the parties asking for a
receiver for this Dorgan warrant. Is also In
court asking for $2,000 from the Western
Manufacturing company as balance on a note.

light rain has been falling hero since yester
day morning , and Is coming heavier now.

the largest ever raised In this community.
Farmers all feel good and crop conditions
could not be Improved.
EXETER. Neb. . June 29. ( Special. )
A much-needed rain began falling Thursday
and continued until Friday evening , about an
Inch of water falling during that time. Most

will need a good deal of exceptionally favor
able weather If tits most of It makes a crop.
M'COOL JUNCTION , Neb. , June 29. ( Spe
cial. ) Southern York county was favored
with another fine rain that assures the oat
crop. Some of the oat fields here will not bo
over half a crop , but a largr number will
yield nearly a full crop. There was never a
better prospect for corn , which In many
fields Is over kneehigh. .
WESTERN , Neb. . June 29. ( Special. ) A
slow , drizzling rain sat In at this place
Thursday afternoon , but up to this time no
great amount of water has fallen. It was

the attendance was much better than was ex
pected. In the morning Samuel Phelp ?
Lolaml delivered an excellent lecture , with
the "Lake Country and Its Poets" for his
subject. This afternoon the Chautauqua
chorus , under the direction of Prof , M , S.
Calvin , gave a magnificent concert , in which
they were materially assisted by the Jennie
Llnd quartet and other talent. Tonight the
largs tabernacle was filled by people eager to
hear Sam Jones , who delivered his lecture
upon "Shams and the Genuine. " The audi
ence was at least entertained and amused If
not benefited by the southerner's peculiar
way of treating his subject.
The management confidently expects an
other Immense attendance tomorrow , the sev
eral railroads having arranged for nine dif
ferent excursions. Including one from Kansas
City and another from Omaha. At 9 o'clock

ONE MANIAC KILLS ANOTHER
Governor Holcomb Eeceives a Statement ot
tbo Death of Patient Wood.
STRUCK ON TIIE HEAD WITH A STONE
Superintendent of the Uniting A ) lum fur
the Incurable liniino Drutiiroi No Effort
Miuln to Kopp thn Tragedy
from the 1'ubllc.
LINCOLN , Juno 29. ( Special. ) Governor
Holcomb has received a letter of explanation
from Dr. Damarcll , superintendent ot the
Hastings Asylum for Incurable Insane , In
relation to the death oC Patient Wood , killed
by Carroll. Dr. Damarell says that Carroll
attacked Wood June 15 , boating htm over the
( hold with a pleco of stone. Wood was res
cued from the clutches of the maniac and
taken to his room. For the following two
daya Wood seemed to bo on the road to re
covery , but suffered a relapse and died on
the morning of June 18. Dr. Damaroll Is em-
phatlc In his statement that there was no at
tempt at concealment , but says the utmost
publicity waa given to the affair. However ,
it Is true that the governor was not Informed
of the tragedy until after June 20 , and then
not until ho had read aa account of the
pffalr In the papers. The dispatches from
Hastings convoyed the Intelligence that the
patient had been killed on the spot and at
the time the attack was made. This state-
Jnent Is evidently wrong.
Governor Holcomb has received word from
Bt. Louis that a suite of rcoms has been re
served for him at the Planters hotel for his
use on July 6 and 7 , during the continuance
of the St. Louis fair , to which ho has been
iuvlted. At that time there Is to bo a mili
tary encampment of the state guards and a
competitive drill.
WARNING TO LABORERS.
' Deputy Labor Commissioner Powers Is In
receipt of a communication from L. G. Pow
ers , commissioner of labor of Minnesota ,
) tatng : that conscienceless employment agents
throughout the country are sending men to
Minneapolis to work on the Mississippi dam
ftow In process of construction near that c.ty
] Mr. Powers says that while there are places
lor 250 men only there are above 3,000 ap
plications , and that only such men are taken
pn as are residents ot St. Paul or Minne
apolis and must have the backing ot some
Uldcrtnan. Mr. Powers also directs attention
lo the fact that those sama agencies are
Bending men on to Chicago to work on the
canal near that city , which Is a vain effort ,
fts there are already on the ground 100 men
lo every job. The Minnesota labor commis
sioner Invite the co-operation of the Ne
braska bureau In eradicating the evil of these
fraudulent labor agencies.
The first Installment ot the 5,000 copies of
the session laws of 1895 was received today

tents and constitution. It contains all tbo
laws , joint resolutions and memorials passed
by the Twenty-fourth session of the legisla
ture. The publication Is considerably In ad-
.vnnco ot that of any previous year , the ses-
Blon laws of the Twenty-third session not
having been liucd until some time In Sep
tember.

Xhlch the sum of $3,000 was appropriated by

It l considered unlikely that Governor Hol
comb will exercise the executive prerogative
of pardoning two convicts from the peniten
tiary on July 4 , for the reason that no pris
oner now In tha penitentiary has served thu
necessary ten years to date. Tht * la a
lantlc was present and spoke. The Wlota

Doollttle left today for Washington , D. C. ,
to spend the summer there transacting busi
ness ot Importance to the state. As a result
of his recent Oriental trip he will work to
sacure the enactment next winter ot a meas
ure providing for the coinage of chop dollars
for use In transacting business In the Orient
In Japan and China especially. Mr. Dee
llttle says : "Great Britain has long been
coining these dollars , placing the Japanese
'chop' or characters representing the silver
In the piece on ono sldo and the British
stamp on the other. This currency has been
of great service to British merchants trans
acting business In China and Japan and
hence to the British nation at large. ' Our
trade dollars might have served the same
purpose , but , lacking the Japanese 'chop' or
character Indicating value , the Chinese and
Japanese did not understand them and would
not use them. The measure , I think , con
gress will enact , will provldo for the coinage
of these dollars with the eagle on ono side
and the Japanese 'chop' on the other. The
piece will bo Incdeemable In gold and will
contain about the same amount of .silver as
the American dollar. It will purchase In
Japan about double the amount a gold dollar
will purchase In this country. "

"Resolved , That we are unalterably com
mitted to the prohibition of the liquor
traffic , nnd wo are determined to fight the
saloon till this deadly foe Is destroyed In
all our land.
"Wo urge our Epworth leaguers every
where to do all In their power to maintain
the sanctity of the Lord's day. Especially
wo express the hope that no Epworth leaguer
will make the coming Sabbath the occasion of
excursions and pleasure seeking.
"We exhort our young people to study ;
keep track of and expedite by all the lawful
means In their power the cause of good cit
izenship. The new generation now upon the
bceno confront a great opportunity In connection -
noction with this movement. The purifica
tion of our municipal governments Is vitally
associated with the work of city cvangsllw-
tlon. While our Epworth leaguers emulate
and Imitate tlio noble example of thoie who
hear and heed the bitter cry of the outcast In
our cities , large and small , they also aid as
opportunity may offer In tha redeeming of
our municipal governments from corruption
and In the task ot putting the right officials
In the lead In the conduct of city affairs. "

KANSAS CITY , June29. . The contest of
the heirs over the division of the $1,500,000
estate left by A. L. Mason IB set for a hear
ing Monday before Judge Stover. O. H.

vorced In North Dakota from hU wife. The
supreme court of North Dakota this week set

WASHINGTON , Juno 29. It Is expected bj
ofllclals that Great Britain will pretest ugatnsl
the concession Venezuela has made to an
American company and will warn the Amer
icans against taking possession of the terri
tory , part of which Is claimed by Great
Britain. Under similar circumstances the
British foreign olllcc protested against the
same concession when It was first granted
to Americans In 1884 , and the warnings at
that tlmo were so determined that the latter
did not push their concession , which has re
mained dormant until now Venezuela granti
It and the Americana start to atsumo posses
sion of the territory.
The warning given by Great Britain when
the last concession was given to Americans
covering the same lands was as follows :
COLONIAL OFFICB. LONDON , October
21 , IWift Whereas , The boundary line be
tween her majesty's colony of British
Oulnua ami the republic of Venezuela La In
dl.npute ; and
\\heieaB , It having come to the knowledge
of her majesty' : ) government that grants of
hind within the territory claimed by her
majesty's government have been made , or
purported to have been inado by or In the
name of the government of Venezuela ,
notice la hereby given that no title to lander
or to any right In or over or affecting
such land , within the territory claimed by
her majc.ity'a government , purirartlntf to be
derived from or through the government of
Venezuela or any officer or person authorized
by that government , will bo udtnltted or
recognizou by her majesty's government
nnd any person taking posscslon of or ox-
erclslng any right over any such lands un
der color of any such title or pretended title
will bo liable to bo treated us a trespasser.
This warning was the culmination of a
controversy following tiu grant. There wai
much contention but the American company
at last abandoned Its plans and the concession
has remained In abeyance over since. Now
that It In revived , the purpose ot Great
Britain to protest la believed to be clearly
outlined by the action taken ten years ago.
It Is even thought that the pretests of that
day remain operative today as they cover the
simo lands , but It Is not doubted that the
British authorities will renew the warnings
In order to give them moro formal applica
tion to the present cute.
