PENITENTIARY MUDDLE GETTING WORSE
OoTornor llolcomb nnd Auditor Moore
Acree tlmt It WnuJa Ho Unwlio to
1'crmlt the rumlsto li Drawn
Out at 1'rcicnt.
LINCOLN , July 6. ( Special. ) The Bill
Dorsan penitentiary muddle still continues a
muddle of the mudlest description. Today
Frank M. Cook , cashier of the First National
bank ot this city , signed the supersedcas
bond for J7.COO for the Illinois national banks
which are attempting to hold up Dorgan for
money alleged to bo owing by him to C. W.
Mother , and It was filed In the district court.
It was understood that the Farmers and
Merchants National bank ot Galva , 111. , one
of the plaintiffs , put up the cash In the hands
of officers ot the First National ot Lincoln
before Cashier Cook would sign the bond.
There has been stronc presuro brought to
liear on State Auditor Eugene Moore to In
duce him to Issue the warrant for (33,403.90
to Dorgan. Attorney General Chut chill , by
Ills deputy , Williamson Summers , has advised
llooro that under the circumstances it would
be perfectly safe to turn over the warrant.
On the contrary , a great many of the per
sonal friends of the auditor , Including at
torneys In Lincoln and Omaha , have advised
him not to do so.
Today there was a meeting ot the Board
of Public Lands and Buildings tn regard to
the matter , at which Auditor Moore was pres
ent. Arguments were advanced to Induce
lilm to yield , but he remained firm. Subse
quently Auditor Moore had an Interview with
Governor llolcomb , at which they both
agreed that It would not be safe to give Dor
gan tha warrant. There Is strong talk now
ot proving heavy damages to the state by
the action of the Illinois banks and suing for
tva
a Rood round portion ot the J7.000 bond filed
today.
Governor llolcomb has not yet replied to
the letter from the Hoard of Public Lands and
Buildings. In which It points out the clause
In the bill to buy out Dorgan , making htm
the olUcer to eject Dorgan should such a step
become necessary.

Abraham's farm in Douglas county. The
pollution , he claims , makes it Impossible for

restraining order , compelling the city to di
vert Us sewerage elsewhere.

COSTS OP Till ? n.lllItUTT SCOTT CASE
Efforts Being Mnde to Avoid raying the
WltnriH Fen.
BUTTE , Neb. , July 0. ( Special. ) District
court adjourned Wednesday after having
been In session for one month. Although
Judge Klnkald made every effort possible to
clear up the civil docket a number of cases
had to go over until the fall term for lack
ot time In which to try them.
The Scott case was again resurrected dur
ing the closing hours ot the term by a mo
tion of County Attorney Wills , who sought ,
by means ot the correction of a journal entry ,
to evade the payment by Boyd county of the
per diem and mileage of about forty-five
witnesses who were subpoenaed on the part
of the defense. Attorneys Harrington ami
Golden riled an affidavit at the commence
ment of the case asking for "compulsory
process" for the defendants' witnesses , and
the order was Issued by the court , but Mr.
Wills set UIY In his motion that Mr. Har
rington had not stated In his affidavit that
the defendants were unable to pay the per
diem and mileage of their witnesses and
therefrom these costs , amounting to nearly
$1,000 , shouH not be borne by Boyd county.
The court stated that In the absence of Har
rington and the witnesses It wonld be unfair
to take up the matter at this time and con
tinued the motion until the next term.
Owing to the fact that there was no money
In the county treasury to pay the claims of
the jurors on the regular panel , an arrange
ment was made whereby the county con
fessed judgment to the amount of the
claims , some $1,200 In all , and a special levy
will be made to meet these judgments. The
costs In the Scott case have not yet been
footed up , but will bo about $3,000.

REMARKABLE SURGERY.
Ilnge Silver KomoTecI from the Skull of nn
llh'o Mnn.
Among the celebrated cases In surgical an
nals that of Louis G. Smith of Harrison O. ,
will certainly take a prominent place. No
man over survived such a peculiar Injury as
befell Smith , says the Cincinnati Enquirer ,
and the medical men Interested In the case
can ascribe his escape from death only to a
freak of fats or to a cause beyond human
ken.
ken.On
On May 9 last Smith , who is a wagon
maker , and has his shop on the old General
John McMakln farm , about two miles east
of Harrison , was engaged In cutting an oak
log , using a circular saw. propelled by a
small steam engine. The log was water-
soaked in parts , and the work of cutting it
proved very difficult. When the saw had
plowed through about one quarter of Its
length. Smith stooped over in his effort to
push the log harder against It.
It was then that an ominous swish of the
saw was heard a crack and the next In
stant Smith fell to the ground with blood
spurting from his nose. Fortunately he did
not lose consciousness , and his cries for help
soon brought his family to his assistance.
He wai picked up , carried into his dwelling ,
which adjoins the ehop , and a physician
spedlly summoned. The medical gentleman
who responded to the call found by his
superficial examination that a large piece of
wood had probably struck Smith on the nose ,
lacerating It out of all semblance to that
organ. The bridge was broken , and particles
of bone protruded , but the Injury did not
seem Irreparable to the physician.
After the particles of broken bone had been
removed the wound was dressed , and In a fsw
days stitched up. The wound gave every
Indication ot healing entirely. Days and
weeks passed , however , and from slight
pilns , gradually Increasing , Smith began to
suffer agony beyond the power of opiates
to temporize. Then the most dreadful of all
symptoms , namely , lock-jaw , eet In , and be
fore nightfall became a verity. The jaw
bcame fixed and rigid , and death In Its most
awful form stared the patient In the face.
For four long days Smith fought the grim
battle , and at last came out of It victorious ,
but almost a shadow of his former self.
At this Juncture Dr. O. W. Grubbs of Harrison
risen was called Into the case. His diagnosis
was thit some foreign body had found lodg
ment In the wound , and was proving the dis
turbing element. Acting upon this theory
he reopened the wound Itcelf. After the In
cision was made the probe was Introduced ,
and upon biing withdrawn showed particles
of wood adhering. Upon thU hint the doctor
cut deeper , and soon struck upon a firm
sulMtance , Cutting away the flesh he In
serted a pair of pinchers , and grasping the
object ( Irmly , began to pull It out.

after being measured proved to oe three and
three-fourths Inchei In length , an Inch wide
and one-eighth of an Inch thick.
The problem which next presented itself
was how the man escaped death from the
penetration of such a sized splinter through
a region ttrewn with vital points. The only
rational explanation that can be offered U
that the wood hid been drlvin In at such an
angle as to miraculously avoid these danger

LAW MATCINQ BODIES. '
Hulls of Itepro ontatlon In the legislatures
of tlin World.
The recently elected It llan Chamber of
Deputies consists of 534 memberz. The pres
ent Gorman Reichstag consists of 393 mem
bers. The next house ot representatives at
Washington , exclusive of territorial dele
gates , will consist ot S5G members. Th
English Parliament consists of CSO mem
bers , Including those elected In Ireland and
Scotland , as well as those elected In England.
Of these members 4C5 are chosen from
English constituencies , 103 from Irish ,
seventy-two , from Scotch and thirty from
Welsh. The French Chamber of Deputies
consists of G22 members.
It appears from these figures , says th
Now York Sun , that although popular control
over the choice of representatives Is most
general In the United States , the lower houJt
of congress 1s a smaller body than the popu
lar branch of the legislature of Great
Britain , Germany , Franco or Italy. The Bel
gian Parliament , prior to the extension ot
universal suffrage and the adoption of the
multiple system ot voting , consisted of 124
members , the number varying according to
the number ot qualified electors In each dis
trict. The Hungarian House of Magnates
consists of 735 members , and the Hungarian
House of Representatives of 445. The Dutch
Parliament Is constructed on the basis of
one deputy for every 45,000 of population.
The representation of alt the Swlra cantons ID
the national council Is 135.
In the choice of representatives few Euro
pean government ? conform with the Ameri
can plan ot selecting representatives on the
basis of voters only. In England , for In
stance , where the right of suffrage has bean
extended to the point of being almost uni
versal , or manhood suffrage , as It is called
In the United States , nine university dis
tricts continue to have representation aa
such , and the divisional lines of parliament
ary districts are such that the representa
tion Is unequal , being largest proportion
ately In the country and smallest In tha
urban districts. The basts of representation
In the United States has varied from time
to time. The ratio of representation per
population was 30,000 under the first appor
tionment. It rose gradually under successive
apportionments until 1843 , when It was put
at 70.000. In 1SG3 It jumped to 92,000 , and
In 18G3 to 127,000. From that figure It grew
gradually until 1883 , when It was 151,000.
The present basis of representation Is ma
terially higher 173,901. Congress fixes tha
number of members which each state shall
have , but the subsequent subdivision , based
on the preceding national census , Is made by
thn Htato leglilature. The rule of equality
of division Is not very welt preserved , though
an effort to follow It Is shown generally. The
First congressional district of Texas has a
population of 120,000 ; the Second congres
sional district ot Texas has a population ot
210,000. That Is a flagrant and exceptional
Inequality. Nevada has a representative In
congress for 45,000 Inhabitants. In New
York Hint ? the district having the largest
population Is the Fourteenth , now repre
sented liy Congressman Qulgg. The Fourth
district of Pennsylvania , one of the strongest
republican districts of the country , had by
the last census a population of 203.000. Ohio
had only one dlttrlct with more than 200.000
Inhabitants. Twelve of the thirteen districts
of Maxsachuietts have 170,000 population era
a fraction more.
