HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
Walker killed Farmer Jmcs Stevens In
the summer of 1S94. The murderer had
entertained a grudge against Stevens and
when the latter one day crossed Walker's
Iiomestcad he followed him to Farnam. a
small town near there , nnd shot him with a
pistol on the street. This was done without
a word of warning. Public sentiment was
at once aroused against Walker , and at the
trial before Judge Silas A. Holcomb hut
Slttle ciedenco wna given to'the plea of nut
guilty , under which plea Insanity was set
up as a defense. Following the affirmation
of sentence by ! the supreme court , s'trong
Dfildavlts and petitions were forwarded to
Governor Holcomb , especially from Ken
tucky , asking for executive clemency. These
were followed by an Investigation last week ,
the result of which Is the commutation of
sentence Issued today. In the Interim be
tween the llrst cla'o of sentence ot death and
the respite to March C , a commission of In
sanity inquired Into his cate. Under Instruc
tions of District Judge Green , who presided
at the Inquiry , the jury found that Walker's
condition mentally was the same as It was
at the time of the trial and that ho was
consequently sane. At the Inquiry last week
afildavlts from Kentucky were read which
conclusively showed that since Walk'er's re
moval from that state a remarkable mental
change In his condition bad taken place.
VoTf several years during his residence In
Nebraska Walker was known as "Crazy
Walltcr , " and he lived a life of Isolation on
Ills homestead , posscsseJ , apparently , of the
idea that there wafl a conspiracy against his
life. Aside from the Kentucky afildavlts a
largo number of petitions were received by
the governor from citizens of Dawson
county. Dr. L. J. Abbott , superintendent
of the Lincoln Hospital for the Insane , and
Dr. Coffin , his assistant , both agreed that
Walker was jifsane. ' "FlVo physicians of Lex
ington. Dawson county , gave the same testi
mony. But one physician , a Dr. Crecorlan ,
dissented from this opinion. The commuta
tion of sentence seems to give satisfaction
to a majority of these who today learned of
Ithe governor's action.
Governor Holcomb today Issued a pardon
to Augubt Metz , sent up from Clay county
for murder In the second degree. His
sentence was for twelve years and he was
received at the pilson October 31,1887. With
his good tlmo this sentence would expire
Tttarcli 31 , this year. On petition of friends
the governor today Usucd a pardon to take
ffcct on that date.

LINCOLN , March 2. ( Special. ) A trial
Is sat for April C In the Lancaster county
rourt. which will bring Walt Seeley promi
nently to the front. Farmer Eric Olsoi
Who resides near Bennett , has commenced
replevin proceedings to recover possession
of a note for $700 , which was deposited In
the Citizens' bank : of Bennett. The story
as related by Olson's attorney. Is as fol
lows : Oscar Keltel , an Illinois farmer , came
to Bennett about five years ago and ne
gotiated with Olson for a lease of his farm.
A contract was entered Into between the
two , under which Keltel was to lease the
land for five years at a yearly rental of
$760. Five notes were drawn and signed
l > y Keltel , ono of which was to mature each
of the flvo yeaM. Then Keltel le't for
Illinois , saying ho would return shortly
nnd take possession of the farm. He never
came back. Olson was loft with the notes
on his hands , and believing that Keltel was
dead , or bad absconded , proceeded to rent
the land to other parties. Then Seeley , It
Is alleged , approached Olson and proposed
to take the notes and collect damages from
Keltel , Merely as a guarantee of good
faith , and to make sure of no mistake , would
Mr. Olson plcoso attach his signature to the
back of the paper , and Mr. Olson , being
an Ignorant man , so far as business formali
ties are concerned , did BO , not knowing that
by this act ho bound lilniHclf to pay the
eamu on maturity. A few days since he
vas awakened by a notice from the Ben
nett bank that a note of his for $760 was
there for collection. This was the last of
the twrleis of flvo , and became duo March 1.
.Where the other four are , Mr. Olson does
not know , but ho Is released from all lia
bility , as no notlco of protest has ever been
served on him , Ho claims that he has no
destro to prosecute Seeley criminally , but
only wishes to protect himself from the
Inconvenience of lifting that last { 760 note.
The note In now In the hands of the sheriff
ot Lancaster county.
Today Judge Hull handed down hta find-
In Ri In the contention between the Lincoln
Hotel company and the mortgage creditors
of Shears Shears. The suit was over
priority of llena upon the Iiotel furniture.
In 1S91 the hotel was leased to Samuel Shears
and Jacob E. Markel of Omaha for ten years
at an annual rental of $10,000. To secure
payment of the rent the. lea-w contained a
lien clause which gave the company the
right to foreclose on the furniture and fit
tings In default of payment of rental , Judge
Hall gives the hotel company first lien for
$10F,00. the bank second and Hargreaves
third lien. Market Is also held liable for
any deficiency on the hotel company's lien
It the furniture and fittings fall , upon sale ,
to satisfy the hotel company's lien and
costs of the suit. The defendants will ,
likely , sppeal to the supreme court.

LINCOLN , March 2. ( Special. ) Today the
executive committee of the Nebraska club
met hero and took steps to push forward
the work of the organization. Several very
Important matters were put under way , de
tails of which arc withheld pending com
pletion of plans.
Secretary Wllllamwn made a very com
prehensive report of the work up to the
present time. He showed a map , on which
ho has Indicated tlio growth of tlio Idea.
In fifteen counties auxiliary organizations
have been formed , and the club has mem
bers In sixteen , while workers are busy In
thirty. Arrangements liavo been made with
the railroad companies by which missionaries
may reach the states of Illinois , Iowa , Mlclil-
Kan , Ohio and others , from which Nebraska
has drawn an excellent class of citizens.
Only counties In which auxiliaries have- been
organized are entitled to this benefit. An
other plan that has been perfected Is to
get Into the columns of the state papers
matter prepared by an experienced Journalist ,
ulilcli will treat especially of the resources
and attractions of the counties organized.
C. H. Morrlll of Lincoln , J. E. Smith of
Ucatrlco and W. II. Lannlng of Hastings an
nounced themselves as three of fifty who
would take 100 shares each. This will pro
vide for half of the 10,000 shares needed to
commence business on. These fifty sub
scribers arc easily expected.
Governor Holcomb submitted a letter from
the secretary of the Armenian society In
Chicago , offering to furnish Armenian im
migrants for Nebraska. Ho writes tint
thesa Armenians are of the most desirable
clans , and make excellent citizens , the dif
ficulty at present being for them to get
out of Turkey.
NEW COMMITTEES NAMED.
Committees were named to visit Hastings ,
Fremont , Beatrice and other points In or
der to better present the work to the local
people. These committees will operate In
conjunction with the local clubs , where such
exist , and where there are none , local clubs
will bo organized.
One of the several communications read
wa < ? a letter from the Oregon Immigration
club of Portland , which stated that already
$27,000 haJ been secured , and Itaa ex
pected that the sum would finally be $30,000 ,
to spend In advertising the state and In
ducing Immigration during the year. Sev
eral members of this club have standing
subscriptions of $ GOO a year.
Manuscripts of many articles , setting forth
the advantages and attractions of Nebraska
along the line of the Invitation to compete
for the prizes offered by the club , were
presented. Owing to the fact that there
was some misunderstanding among persons
who desired to write articles for competition ,
the time was extended one month , under the
original terms. Manuscripts will bo re
ceived by Secretary Williamson at Omaha
until April 1. Among thoser already In
hand are two or three from prominent citi
zens of Omaha. One Is from a railroad
manager , and strange as It may appear. Is

WASHINGTON , March 2. ( Special Tele-
gram. ) The land grant bill has been np-
proved by the president , and Is now a law of
the United States. It required all General
Mamlcrson's energy and diplomacy to bring
this result about. The attorney general took
exceptions to the wording ot the bill. Ho
differed with General Manderson as to the
meaning of the words "bona fide , " whether
It Includes Innocent purchasers for value.
General Mandcrson appealed to the prcaldcnt
nnd had a long conference with him over the
differences between the attorney gcncr.il and
himself. General Mandcrson was granted a
halt hour In which to present hln case and
ask that In the event ot signature before
midnight , the limit of time In which the
bill could become a law , that he be notified.
At 11 o'clock General Manderson received
this letter from the white house :
March 2. 1830. My Dear Sir : The bill you

CHANCES FOR PASSAGE EXCELLENT.
A unanimous report from such a committee
la a guarantee of the passage of the bill.
Tlio report will be presented to the senate
as soon as Senator Thurston can prepare
It , probably by Wednesday morning. The
bill will then take Its place on the calendar
and coma on for passage at an early date.
Mr. Thurston , In the short time he has been
In the senate , has so far secured the respect
and friendship of senators on both sides of
the chamber that they are most willing to
give cordial support to any measure In which
ho takes a deep personal Interest , as In the
case of the Transmlsslsslppl exposition. The
only senator on the committee not thoroughly
committed to the bill Is Senator Vest of
Missouri , who joined In the favorable re
port out of personal consideration for the
chairman , and who will probably waive his
objection to its passage for the same rea
son.

From the present condition of the docket ,
It seems safe to assume that the maximum

supreme court , the first case on call this
morning having been dismissed , leaving only
two causes to be disposed of before the Ne
braska cases are reached. Messrs. Webster
and Churchill are on the ground , Mr. Woolworth -

The fire caught In the- stair tower In some
unknown manner and rapidly spread through
the building. There were l,07fi.OOO bushels
of wheat In the building , mostly No. 1 north
ern , worth about $ COO.OOO. The spouts were
opened and a great quantity ran out on the
ground , so that a salvage of about 10 cents
a bushel Is probable. The building co t
$250,000 , making the total loss In the neigh
borhood of $750,000. There Is ample Insur
ance to cover the loss.

CHICAGO , March 2. The corpse of a man
was washed ashore on the lake front near

body was almost devoid of clothing. There
Is a gaping wound Ilka a knife- stab In the
right groin , and above the breast bone Is an
other opening resembling a bullet wound.

Indiana has a section that goes by the
name ot the "applejack belt. " It Includes
ninny counties of southern Ind'ann ' , but prin
cipally Perry , Washington , Crawford , Harri
son and Kloyd counties , All of these nro
rich In orchards , but as yet no railroad haa
crossed the section , nnd It does not pay to
ship the product. As n result of being left
with n large apple crop on their hands , the
fainuTti make use of It nnd manufacture n
great deal of applejack. From this fact the
above-named counties nro Known ns the
"applejack region , " The old-stylo mills
arc used In the manufacture of the article ,
and despite tne fact that Improved ma-
rhlncry would put money Into the farmers'
pockets , they cling tenaciously tn the cus
toms of other days. New Albany claims to
be the greatest market In the world for
applejack , nnd the dealers Ilioro have handled
as high as 100,000 gallons In a year.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding1 of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that BO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease , but biraply to a constipated condi
tion of the system , which the pleasant
family laxative , Syrup of Figs , prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families , and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact , that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness , without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 11 is t jierefore
all important , in order to get itb bene *
Qcial effects , to note when you pur
chase , that you have the genuine article ,
which is mnnuf aeturcd by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only , uud bold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health ,
and the system is regular , then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If ailliotcd with any actual disease , ono
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians , but if in need of a laxative ,
then one should have the best , and with
the well-informed every where , Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is inost largely
used and fives most general satisfaction.
