LINCOLN , July 3. ( Special. ) It Is evi
dent tlmt considerable friction may develop
between John Currle and the state ot Ne
braska over the marble presented to the
state by Governor Turner of Tennessee In
behalf of that state. Currle says he has
the bill of lading and proposes to take pos
session ot the marble. It Is rumored that
the Worklngmen's club of Lincoln has de
cided to take charge of the matter , and see
that he eventually gets the contract of cut
ting a statue of Abraham Lincoln from the
marble. In the midst of this conflict of in
terests. Governor Holcomb today appointed
the following commission to receive the
marble , receipt for the same , and rccom-
jnond some competent sculptor to carve
the statue : Frank A. Graham , mayor of
Lincoln ; C. H. Gere , art critic ; Eugene
Moore , state auditor ; A. H. Weir , ex-mayor
of Lincoln ; Jarces Stevenson , commander
Farragut post. Grand Army of the Republic ;
Porter Hedges , commander Appomattox post
Grand Army of the Republic and Dr. J.
D. Lowery , art critic.
Currle was seen by The Dee correspond
ent , to whom he showed the names of the
committee appointed by the governor , and
said : "What do you understand are the
duties of these men ? "
"To receive the marble In the name of
the state and superintend the cutting of the
statue. "
"Well , they can superintend all they
please , but they must keep away from me
and outitde my shop. I'm not going to be
bothered by people who don't know anything
about art. They will nnd out I am run
ning this thing before they get through
, \vlth me. "
' One of the smaller blocks of marble Is
a direct gift to Currle , to be utilized as he
may see fit. The rest of the marble Is
presented to the state.
Governor Holcomb has extended an Invi
tation to the National Association of the
Christian Endeavor , which meets next year
nt San Francisco , to meet at Omaha In lbD3.
Articles of Incorporation were today filed
with the secretary of state of the Athcneura
Fraternity of Omaha. The objects of the
association are Insurance benefits , up to the
amount of $3,600. The Incorporators are :
John T. Dalley , James M. Ward , Elmer E.
Zimmerman. John H. Gayhart and William
A. Saundcrs. The officers will comprise an
executive council , supreme president , vice
president , secretary , treasurer and assistant.
There will be no public celebration of the
Fourth tomorrow , but all public and busi
ness olHces will remain closed the greater
portion of the day , and business generally
will be suspended. The bicycle races will
be the principal attraction to home and
out-of-town people.
WILL PROSECUTE THE PRISONERS.
Governor Holcomb recently wrote to Judge
Edgerton of the federal court for South
Dakota , regarding the arrest and prosecu
tion of citizens of Nebraska on a charge
of cutting timber from the Fort Randall
military reservation , lie has received this
reply :
To Ills Excellency. Silas A. Holcomb ,
TJncoln , Neb. : Sir : Your communication ol
June 13 to Honr A. J. Edgerton. Judge ol
the United States district court of this dls-
.1 trlot , owing to the present condition of his

answer. In reply thereto would say that
from tha testimony offered before the grand
jury when these parties were Indicted , wi >
ura sal tailed that you have been misled ,
both as to the character and amount ot
tlmbir cut. You have not given the names
of the { turtles who have made the repre-
pentatlons. and therefore we are unable tc
discriminate na to them , but I may say this
Tnuch ns to th testimony offered Iwforo the
grand 1ury , and that U that the tlmbei
the.se > parties nra charged with outline wus
taken from thu Kort Hundall military reser
vation , and much. If not most of It. wai
large , nice timber , for the country frotr
„ , ' whence taken ; that some of these pnrtler
stood upon their wagons nnd cut much ol
the timber high up from the ground , leav
ing the land looking like a. graveyard with
headstone * ereoted ; that they left the tops
nnd brush scattered all over the ground
nnd left much valuable wood to Ho nnd rol
on the ground , some of them cutting an
Idgb as 10) cords or more , us near as can
b estimated from the piles at their homes ,
In short , committed a grlwvous waste ol
timber and persisted In doing this , notwith
standing th ear runt protest of thu cus
todian In charge : that a deputy United
States marshal , upon Instructions from thf
department lit Washington directing this
to be done , went and examined the prom
ises wht'ro the wood was cut and made hla
I' < report Itefore any proceedings were hud in
the cnnos , nnd that they were not presented
to the rnnd Jury until Instructions wen1
received to that effect from , Washington.
We h.ivo been advised by the United
State * attorney of the district of Nebroskj
tnat some of the parties , naming them ,
have IK en convicted nt Omaha of bavins

and rccoinmi-ndlng that they bo dealt with
clemently. nrd we havn advised him that
thin circumstance will bo considered when
thMr rases are reached on the call of the
calendar here. And I can assure you that
there U no disposition on the part of the
I'nlted States attorney to persecute those
parties , but only to administer the law
justly nnd teniin > rutely ; but at the same
time wo do not nee our way to do otherwise -
wise than to present tlie.-o capes to the
court and Jury , If necessary , and have each
case considered separately , that the court
jnay be able to determine fairly the penalty
that ought to be Imposed In each case , II
any should bo Imposed.
There has bron a. large amount of timber

thorltles. he did not express great hopes of
accomplishing much good for the parties
who petitioned him from the Sixth congress
ional district of the state of Nebraska. The
cutting of the timber occurred at a time
when there was a great deal of destitution
In that part of the state. Since then a
large number of the alleged trespassers
have been put to great expense In defend
ing themselves In the federal court at
Omaha , as well as'for transportation to and
from the cuurt. The prosecution of alleged
timber thieves , while seldom resulting in
heavy penalties , generally rwta a snug
sum per prisoner to district attorneys and
United States marshals , and no one in the
vicinity of the state house Is at all sur
prised at the tcno of the letter of the South
Dakota district attorney.

Ilunilmrilment of I'InOrnelcer Start *
In n Mild \\'ny I'UMt MKlit.
The great national holiday was given a
very mild starter In Omaha last night.
There was a spasmodic firing of crackers
aa evidence of the fac that the day wa
approaching , Just enough to keep the crowds
on the streets dodging , but not nearly EO
much as on previous years. As a general
thing there is a constant succession of re-
perU from sundown of the 3d until far
Into the night of the Fourth , but the greater
portion of the people appeared willing to
wait a day for their noise on this occasion.
There were a few crowds of men who
were having all kinds of fun with people
passing along the streets , nervous women
being their principal victims. They pro
cured enormous dummy cannon crackers
about a foot long and several Inches in
diameter. Instead of being loaded with ex
plosives which make an unearthly noise ,
they simply bad a email fuse and a little
powder at the end which would sputter and
sizzle. Watching thtir opportunity when a
crowd was near , the fuse would be lighted
and the cry go up , "Look out ! " The nervous
pedestrian would shy out Into the street in
a hurry In anticipation of the approaching
explosion , only to be given the laugh when
tbe fizzle came. This operation was re
peated until the crowds left the streets and
the sport became stale.
Judging from the reports of dealers In
fireworks as to the extent of the sales and
the comparatively small amount of them
touched off last night there is plenty of
grief in store for nervous people today.
There is no doubt In the world tbe small
boy , and some not so small , Is well provided
with noise provokers , and that be will Im
prove his opportunity.

lerted Irim , and being out of employment

SUGGESTION FOR A TICKET
Hon. John P. Irish Comrneads Tillman and

MAKING A WRECK OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Southern AVInK. Aided by Political
] t < > iirmuli > * . l''olloirliiK l'i ' tlic
1'oily of 1SIIO Story oil
Senator Tllliunu.
Hon. John P. Irish of Oakland , Cal. , Is
In the city. Mr. Irish edited a democratic
paper at Iowa City. la. , when democratic
papers were a scarce article In that state.
At that time. In addition to his own , there
were the Dubuque Telegraph , edited by M.
M. Ham ; the Davenport Democrat , run by
J. J. Richardson ; the Burlington Gazette ,
the Kcokuk Constitution , run by Judge
Claggett , whose press and material were
dumped Into the Mississippi river by the
soldiers ; the Ottumwa Democrat , the Des
Molnes Leader and the Marsballtown States
man , conducted by Byron Webster. The
profit of conducting a paper of that faith In
Iov/a at that time is p.retty well Illustrated
by a story told of the latter. Being asked
by one of the citizens'.of Marshalltown why
he did not buy a cylinder press , like his
competitor had , he replied"Why : don't you
buy out tbe town. There Is about as much
money selling peanuts In a graveyard as
in running a democratic paper In Iowa. "
Time has dealt gently with Mr. Irish , and
his many Iowa friends will find him little
changed in appearance , and none at all
In manner. Always possessed with a forc
ible manner of expressing himself , he makes
use of his most emphatic style In discussing
the present situation within the democratic
party. Asked what ho. thought the conven
tion at Chicago would" , .do , he replied :
"We have no way of Julsins..of what the
controlling clement will Uo.tcxcept what they
say they will do. My advice to them would
be to not go half way , but to swallow the
populist creed , with all Its vagaries , whole.
There Is no use doing matters by halves.
Then I would recommend that they nom
inate Tillman for president and Pennoyer
for vice president. It would be a ticket
fully In keeping with the vagaries they
propose putting In the platform.
"The southern wing of the party dis
rupted It In 1SCO and followed that up by
an attempt , almost successful , to disrupt
the country , and now the same element , In
connection with a few misguided demo
crats and a lot of renegades from the re
publican party , propose to adopt a course
which will disrupt the party again. Time
will vindicate the course of President Cleve
land , and will leave him as the foremost
political figure of our generation.
"It will always be a question whether the
last democratic congress or the present re
publican one Is the most deserving of con
tempt for failure to grapple with the finan
cial problem and settle It-for all time. They
had the opportunity to do the country an
Inestimable service , but were too thoroughly
cowed by popular clamor to grasp It. "
Concerning the California delegation to
Chicago , Mr. Irish stated a majority of
them were sound money men. but were tied
up with free silver Instructions. He gave
It as bis opinion the people of his state
were a large majority of them for sound
tuonei- .
In speaking of Tillman , Mr. Irish related
an Incident which happened while he was
In Washington. Tillman hau a few days
before made his Initial speech in the sen
ate , bitterly assailing Carlisle. "I was
standing talking to the clerk In the hotel
one evening. In walked a tall gentleman ,
evidently well alone In years , but straight
as an Indian and his step as elastic as a
young man , with no sign of falling powers
in Ms more than six feet of stature. A
few words of conversation suQlccd to dis
close the Identity of the newcomer. It
was W. H. McBrayer. the well known dis
tiller of I.awrenceburg , Ky. Mr. McBrayer
asked whore Mr. Ttllinan resided , and be
ing Informed said :
" 'I am a friend of John G. Carlisle and
I have come all the way from Kentucky to
either icakc that fellow from South Carolina
lina disavow any Intention to reflect on the
personal character of John G. Carlisle or
give him a whipping. I am 82 years old ,
but I am able to do what I sty. ' "
Inquiring the way to the Tillman resi
dence , the old gentleman" " lost no time In
getting there. He took the first street car
and started out. In tbe course of an hou-
or so be came back , apparently very much
disappointed. There were no indications
that he had had a personal encounter and
received the worst ot It. On the contrary ,
It was hla feelings wjilcn .were . evidently
hurt. r
. "Do you know , " said he. "that I wen'
up there , and when I tpUl iliat fellow what
I had como for he simply-got right down
off his perch and vowed he had Intended
nothing personal In hfs" remarks and ttia
ho had tbe highest re atd 'for Mr. Carllslfi
personally , and that in the heat of debate
be might have said some things which he
really did not mean. ' I' couldn't do any
thing then , you know , 'and I have had my

Shoplifting.
For several weeks past Jlvu proprietors of
the Boston store and Ilayjon Brothers have
been missing a large number of articles. A
close watch has been kept upon all so-
called customers , but nothing wrong was
detected until last evening. Two women ,
giving the nanit-a of Mary Hall and Annla
Donnell , called at the stores and. after mak
ing purchases , went to their residence at
Nineteenth and Cumlng streets. They were
followed by detectives and placed under ar
rest upon a charge of larceuy. A search of
the premises brought to light a number of
jllk dress patterns , table linen and other
article * , tbe whole approximating $100 In
value. The women maintain that all the ar
ticles have been purchased by themselves.
The goodi will be held until this morning
for Identification by the proprietors ot the
two stores.

U the clerk of the weather looks upon
the Transmlsslsalppl Exposition with as
kindly an eye as he cast upon the celebra
tion of this great event at the "Last Days
of Pompeii" last evening , little complaint
will be heard against him In 1S98. Uni
versity park was crowded again at an early
hour lajt night , and thcro was fully as
large an attendance as upon the previous
evening- The reserved seat section pre
sented a sea of faces , while the fire works
wore being set off. and the bleachers on
the east side of the grounds were not far be
hind in adding their share to the crowd.
Many little details of the performance have
been brought down during the week's drillIng -
Ing to a stage little short of perfection. The
stage people , drawn from the ranks of
Omaha people , or "Indians. " as they are
behind the scenes , entered into the spirit of
the great drama last night , and the result
was highly gratifying to both spectators and
management.
Extra fireworks , both In the amount of the
explosives used In the destruction of the
famous city , and In the set pieces , was
provided by the management , and there
were no accidents to mar the spectacle. The
actors In their various specialties were ap
plauded frequently , and the Roman hurdle
and chariot races aroused much enthusiasm
from the good-natured crowd , which got upon
Its feet at the conclusion of each event and
shouted vociferously.
When the echoes of the cannonade from
old Vesuvius had grown faint on the ears of
the assemblage , the larger of the set pieces
were touched off. and the performing ele
phant and the agile monkey performed won
derful antics for the amusement of the
sightseers. The crowning event of the evenIng -
Ing , however , was reserved until the last.
This consisted of the picture of Congress
man David H. Mercer , outlined In a halo of
flre. The spectacle was greeted with
cheers.
Tonight will be the last opportunity af
forded Omaha people to see the destruction
of Pompeii. Extra Inducements will be
offered In the way of the pyrotechnics , a
largo picture of George Washington and the
American flag being the principal ones.

Ing. McKlnney Is employed as a roustabout
in one of the principal carriage factories In
the city. Saturday night he received his
pay and upon going home expatiated upon
the subject of hard times to his wife and
concluded by giving her $5 to pay for some
papering which had Just been completed In
their home. After remarking that ho only
had about 70 cents to carry him through
the week , he dismissed the subject by going
to. bed. His wife , however , hails from
Missouri , and as she figured that she had
not received her share of the funds , she
took a feminine manner of demonstrating
the fact by searching his pants. Another
33 bill snugly tucked away In a pocket was
brought to light and this she appropriated.
The next morning , when McKinncy dis
covered that he had been bereft of his nest-
egg , he waxed wroth , and taking a banjo
which chanced to be handy belabored his
helpmate over the head and shoulders with
it. The arrest followed.

A. Morganthaler Is a young man who has
been cutting quite a swath during the last
month in this city. If the number of com
plaints lodged against him at police head
quarters Is any criterion. Morganthaler
came to Omaha about a month ago from
St. Louis , and Immediately secured a job
as salesman for Henry Lehman at Seven
teenth and Douglas streets. Ho was nice
looking , obliging and readily ingratiated
himself into the good opinions of the cus
tomers , and Mr. Lehman began to think
that he had secured a Jewel unawares.
The new salesman secured quarters at
the Utopia hotel , at Eighteenth and Daven
port , and In a short time became a favorite
among a large circle of acquaintances. Last
evening he left the store of his employer
shortly after 5 o'clock , somewhat earlier
than usual , on the plea that he Intended
to make some purchases. It was learned
that he Immediately visited the store of
Charles Koran. 1214 Douglas street , and
there purchased a trunk for } 9 , offering In
payment a check for $20 , purporting to bo
signed by Henry Lehman. The check was
received by Mr. Koran without question
and the difference , 111 , paid over. Morgan-
thaler had previously visited the store and
had become acquainted with the propri
etor by picking out the same trunk which
ho afterward purchased , the agreement at
that time being closed by the payment ol
II. The trunk was ordered sent to his quar
ters at the Utopia , and Morganthaler then
went to the drug store of Myers & Dillon ,
and , after making a small purchase , ten
dered the $11 check which he had received
from Koran in payment. It was cashed.
Among his other gentlemanly habits , Mor
ganthaler has contracted that of smoking ,
so he next visited the cigar store of N'orrls
Brothers , near Fourteenth and Farnam
streets , secured a large supply of the weed
and handed over another $20 check , signed
with the name of his employer. H w.is
cashed , and he added the amount. to the
rest of the spoils. The nearest place from
this point to purchase a pair of shoes was
the Drexel Shoe company , so he treated him
self to a pair of "tans , " and the price tucked
in the box was | 7. It was paid with an
other ? 20 check , purporting to have been
signed by Leman. Morganthalet's furnish
ing goods were In need of replenishing , so
he called upon Browning , King & Co. , and.
after making a modest purchase , the cashier
was delighud to cash another of the checks
when It was presented.
Shoes are good things for people given to
pedestrian exercises , and , as Morgantbaler
did not know bow long It would , be before
he should be obliged to give "leg ball. " he
bought another pair at the store of T. P.
CartrlshU Another check was put into
circulation , and Morganthaler's pants pock
ets began to sag heavily with the accumu
lation of coin which rolled In upon him.
From this place to the Boston store was
an easy Journey , and after giving out an
other of the ? 20 slips , he began to think that
he would have t ) call In help If things still
continued to come his way , so Morganthaler
hatted a passing cab and went to his boardIng -
Ing house , where he presented Mrs. Mackay
with a brand new cheek , which he had Just
written out for her , for I21.GO , receiving $10
In change.
It was nearlng train time , so Mirganthaler
collected his effects und went to the Union
depot , where he bought a ticket for St.
Joseph. The train had Just began to
move out when an officer placed Mi hand
upon the arm of the former salesman nnd
Informed him that he was In custody. Mor-
ganthalcr was taken to the station , where
a charge of forgery was placed agalurt
him.

He took the matter humorously , anj ad

checks , knowing that today' and tomorrow
they would be unbankable , and hoplti ? that
he would be far away when they were pre

There Is a fight on between W. A. Paxton -
ton and the plumbers' combine , and as n
result Mr. Paxton has Hied with the Hoard
of Public Works an application for a
plumber's license. The application Is for
a license as master plumbers for the firm
of Wilson & Paxlon , the senior partner
being Robert Wilson , who is employed as
an engineer in the Paxtou block. The mas
ter plumbers have filed a protest against
granting the license and the whole matter
will be ventilated at the next meeting of
the board.
The trouble originated from the increas
ing tendency on the part of some of the
leading plumbers to monopolize the plumbIng -
Ing business in the city. Municipal legis
lation has gradually been secured by the
plumbers until according to the present
ordinances any house owner who uses a
monkey wrench to tighten n faucet In his
kitchen is liable to arrest for doing plumb
ing without license. Mr. Paxton's private
secretary was before the board yesterday
afternoon and stated that they had been
compelled to apply for a license In self-de
fense. According to the present regula
tions they were compelled to call In a
plumber to do little Jobs of repairing that
they had always been accustomed to attend
to themselves. For this purpose they em
ployed Mr. Wilson , who was a practical
man and has had eight or tea years' expe
rience in plumbing. Now , however , they
were liable to arrest every time a faucet
was tightened without paying an exorbi
tant fee to a plumber. The plumbers had
been watching them constantly for two or
three weeks and in order to protect them
selves they proposed to take out a plumbing
license themselves.
Graham Park. John Rowe and a number
of other plumbers appeared to protest
against granting the license. They asserted
that Wilson was not a plumber and that
the board could not legally grant the appli
cation. They were ghen until the next
meeting to file a written protest and .Mr.
1'nxton was notified that he would be ex
pected to prove that Wilson was a compe
tent plumber.
The contract and bond of Hugh Murphy
for keeping Sherman avenue In repair was
approved. The sureties are George E.
Barker and W. S. Rector.
An estimate of J1.SC0.4S In favor of J.
0. Corby on the Chicago street sewer waa
approved.

Sadie Ogden , living at 1412 Dodge street ,
complained to the police yesterday that some
one had stolen her false teeth. They are
valued at 512 and she would like to have
the offender arrested. She has reasons for
suspecting a young man boarding at the
same place. This young man. so she alleges ,
Is something of a practical Joker and has
attempted to get gay a number of times
at her expense. She , however , gave him to
understand that he was treading upon dan
gerous ground and nothing transpired until
yesterday. Miss Ogden had occasion to de
posit her teeth In a tumbler of water In
her bed room , and was then unexpectedly
called to another part of the house. When
she returned her teeth had disappeared , and
as she Intended visiting some friends that
same evening It placed her In a serious
dilemma. As Miss Ogden was figuring out
the best method of recovering her personal
effects , the young man came to the door
and Inquired if anything was wanted. Slio
accused him of the deed and he only grinned
prodigiously , thereby Increasing the out
rage tenfold.

When D. McDermald of Sixth and Pierce
streets swore out a search warrant yes
terday that he might search the premises
of E. Rlssi at .Ninth and Hickory streets
to get possession of an alleged stolen dog , he
said :
"I know It Is my dog. When I stepped
Into the yard the animal licked my face and
embraced me and paid no attention to
lllxsl. Ain't that proof enough ? "
Last night the search warrant was served
and McDermald was present. The dog paid
no attention to McDermald. It would not
even wag Its tall at him. Instead , It looked
up at RUsi with wonder In Ita big eyea and
wanted to know what It was all about.
Therefore McUennald now declares that the
dog Is not his dog , and Illsal has been ex
onerated.
