LINCOLN , Dee. 8. ( Special Telegram. )
By agrccmtnt ot the attorneys and the
court tlio Uirtlcy case will not come up be
fore the supreme court for two weeks. This
IB bcrnuso ot the fict that the brief ot the
Btato has only been on 11 lo thrco days nnd
alro bt-causo of the largo amount of work
to be done this sitting by both the attorneys
and th < - court , H Is believed that the hear
ing when It comes up will occupy an entire -
tire day.
llrlcfr In the Omaha police- case , In which
Frank K. Moores ct al wcro plaintiffs In
error and W. H , Sheep ct at were defend
ants , 'ncro filed In the supreme court today
by thu plaintiffs In error and the case was
submitted to the court. This Is an action
In mandamus , brought In the name ot the
etato by the defendants In error , as rclntors ,
chiming to bo members of the police force
of the city ot Omaha , and brought directly
In question the powers conferred and the
duties imposed upon the lloard ot Fire and
I'ollco Commissioners by section 169 of the
acts of the legislature of 18V.I. . The Board
of Fire and I'ollco Commissioners had at a
incclnR In September. 1897 , decided that the
malntriinnco of the present police force
would crcalo a deficiency In the treasury ,
and passed a resolution which contained ths
following : "Therefore , this board considers ,
finds and declares that the proper manage
ment of said police force requires that the
following officers and patrolmen bo removed
from their several offices , to-wlt : Sergeants
V. O. Mitchell and H. W. Chamberlain ; De
tectives 12. II. Hemming and \V. W. Cox ;
Patrolmen . II. Shoop. It. A. Wilbur , James
Kirk nnd S. 0. IlolT. " The men so din-
charged gave notlco or protest and request
for reinstatement , which was denied and
they brought suit for relief.
In Its answer to this suit the board ad
mitted that no charges had been filed against
( "the men previous to their dismissal , but de
nied the sufficiency of the petition of the rc-
lators. It wao furthpr alleged that the re
moval of the relatora w.u taken honestly
and In good faith for Ins purpose ot reducing
expenses. The case cnmo up before Judge
0. It. Scott and the court ruled that the bur
den ot the proof was on the respondents
and that the answer was not sulllclent to
meet the allegations of the rehtors. and
thereupon granted a peremptory order for
the restoration of the rotators to their re
spective olflces In the police department.
The bord brought the case to the oupremo
, court to be reviewed for error.
WHAT THE BRICF SHOWS.
The brief tiled for the board today gays
that the first four errors relate lo the re
fusal ot the court to admit the testimony of
D. D. Gregory , who was prepared to tes
tify as to the Insufficiency of the funds 'n '
the police department and of the necessity
of curtailing the force , and also of the go.-d
faith of the board In discharging the men.
The brief goes on to show that 'ti 1S9G there
was an expenditure In the dcpirtment ol
over SSR.OOO and that a deficit ot J 1.300 was
created , which was charged against the
amount for the current jear , which , token
from the $78.000 expropriation , would leave
less than $75,000 , or create a deficit of $13-
000. A notlco had been received from the
mayor nnd city council that no further suni'i
would bo set apart Tor the maintenance of
the police force. Thereupon the beard had
placed the construction upon the law that
where the funds were Insufficient the size
ofc the force could bo accordingly reduced.
The brief then goes on to tays "That regard
less of these very conditions for which the
police force has been created , the court be
low holds In substance that an appointment
by the board of a policeman creates an of
fice with Ufo tenure , virtually subverting
these several provisions and conditions of the
law , first as to the amount of funds at Its
disposal ; second , the welfare of the city In
the protection of the city and property and
the maintenance of peace and good order.
Thcso stand as nothing In the holding of
the court as to the right of the officeholder
to hold the office' and draw his pay. " |
It Is contended In the brief that even where
a statute provides fcr notice and hearing
before removal an officer may be discharged ,
clUier where the discharge Is mide because
Ills services are no Icngcr needed , or no
funds are provided with which to pay 1dm.
A number of ernes are cited in support of
this.
It Is also stated that It Is a well recog
nized principle of law that "all offices , the
tenure of which Is ml fixed by the constitu
tion or limited by law , must be held at the
Will anJ discretion of some department of
the government and subject -to removal at
pleasure. " It Is claimed that -the power of
removal Is Incident to the power of appoint
ment , ami that It was the fair Intent of the
legislature to confer the authority to both
appoint end remove members of the force.
Thu brief contends that the question Is one
of vital public Interest , nnd concludes by ex
pressing "full confidence that the court will
bold that no mcro patrolman or appointee
can have or exercise either directly or Indi
rectly a right cr privilege superior to that
of his chief or of the board. "

LINCOLN , Dec. 8. ( Special. ) The dlseua.
elon of "fusion" or "no fusion" goes merrily
on In the populist ranks. W. H. Ashley , < th :
well known Gage county populist , has n red-
hot letter In the Wymoro Arbor State which
conclude ! ) as follows :
"If the eye of 'regenerated democracy1 Is
so dim It cannot perceive the essential ab
surdity and fundamental Injustice of this
reminiscence ot barbarism nnd human Ig
norance callexl 'frco' coinage , then what
right has It In Its decrepitude and hclplcsa-
ncsa longer to encumber the highway along
which .mankind marches to nnd or to make a
better future ?
"J protesd against any further chaining of
populism to the 'body' of this democratic
'death. ' ' What Interest has oppressed nnd
plundered mankind In victories won by sued
a combination ?
"Scarcely was It known that wo had car
ried the state In 1896 until both Governor
Holeomb and Senator Allen rushed Into print
to placate plutocracy by the assurance tha"
the victory meant nothing and to assure
the plunderers of iths people that nothing
radical' 'would be attempted. How well
ithcso promises have been kept , let the neu
trality of the corporate enemies of man In
tlhls state during the last election testify.
"Thirty years of plutocratic legislation nnd
plutccratle judicial cons'ructlcn have reduced
the 'peoplo to a condition from which noth
ing but radicalism can bring deliverance.
"Hut thsughlcorcs ! : thus won bring noth
ing to encourage the hope ot mankind In the
great encounter , wo are thrcatencj with os
tracism and told wo cannot 'carry the ataite'
except we continue this alliance Unt threat
ens the disintegration of the populist party.
The cxaMcd sentiments that Impelled those
who originated the movement to abandon
their old party organization , where loaves
ami fishes were the sure reward of corporate
subserviency , are despised , and In their place
the spoils of office are now tilumpluntly re
ferred to as the prime consideration in po
litical effort. It ithlij ibe doubled Jiero Is con

clsm which caused the writing of this article.
"Observe the childlike simplicity and
: rankness with which these two organs of
regenerated democracy' give expression to
their idoi of tlhe great underlying principles
of the mighty struggle which I had charac
terized as a renewal ot the old combat that
us raged for ages between the cprrccscd an.l

Xort i Platte Era , a m''U11 -of-the-road

county and the result wa' that thu Era
lost Its public patronage nnd Is now crying

reforms sought nnd that Is for all to get to-
Kother on a fair division of fhfoffices. / . This

crat , November 24 , 1S97.
"These arc , the exalted sentiments , tho3e
are the disinterested and patriotic motives
that gjivo birth to fusion and that urges Its
continuance.
"Wash the face of a fuslcn populist and
you will find a democrat. Lrarn the secret
oplnlcos and beliefs of the leaders of 're
generated democracy' and they despise the
great doctrines cf our party as 'vagaries' and
'Impracticable theories. ' They are rejoicing
at 'tho ' prospective return to the foldof / Hill
and Whitney and Wattcrson and Marvin and
Cook. They hope to hoodwink the populists
of Nebraska into supporting their plans for
1S9S i.nd 1900 to give them the electoral vcte
for president.
"They fawn upon fuslonlsts in Nebraska ,
but In New York , Ohio , Kentucky nnd in the
'colid south' they treat fusion with the con
tempt it deserves.
"If the people are to triumph over their oppressors
pressers that triumph will come through the
people's party or another still mere radical
crgirized for that purpose. If God has
doomed them to eternal servitude and mlacry
then neither fusion nor anything will avail
But we ought to lend our efforts for the suc
cess of rn organization that at least says It
Intends human eiranclpstlon and not waste
our energies on behalf of a disorderly move
ment that knows no higher principles than
the 'free- coinage of gold and sliver' and has
no higher motives than to gather the spoils
of office. "

A MOST GRAPHIC STORY.
It isTakcnDircct from Real Life
A Charming New England Lady
tells her lixpeiiencc botli
Abroad and in America
The tinv.-rlttrn romance of life arc mers
wonderful anil far moro Intcresllng th n
tlio most vlvul workn of notion. Tlio ont
wo are about to rclato occurred In real IKe *
and la both Interesting ami Instructive.
Sirs. Jonnlo liny formerly lived In Man *
chrstcr , N. H. Her home was pleasant , hot
surroundings comfortable. In the year 1SS1
she vtaltcd England , and \vhllo In that coun
try began to experience strange scnuatlous.
At flret she attributed them to the change of
climate , but thry continued and Incroascil ,
until nnally. like many another woman , she
became utterly discouraged ,
It wns while In tills condition that Mrs.
Ray returned to America and her home.
Thousands of women who read this story
can appreciate the condition In which Mrs.
Hay then was and sympathize with her suf
fering. Two prominent physicians were
called nnd endeavored to do nil In their
power for her relief. In spite , however , ot
their eklll , Mra. Hay grew weaker and moro
depressed , while the agony she endurM
seemed tp Increase. It wan at this tlmn that
a noted physician who called declared Mra.
lUy was suffering from cancer , said there
was no help nnd told her friends she could
not live moro than a week nt the farthest.
And hero comes the Interesting pai'l of the
story , which wo will endeavor to toll In Mrs.
Hay's o\\n words. She said :
"Unknown to nil theao physicians , I had
been using a preparation ol which I had
heard much. I didn't tell the physician *
because 1 feared they would 'ridicule me ,
and perhaps order 'Is ' discontinuance. Dur
ing all the while that the physicians were
attending mo the pjuparallon wao steadily
and faithfully doing Its own work In Its own
wny , nnd 1 had faith In Its power. At last
the doctor said there was no use ot his com
ing , for ho could do mo no good. I had Buf
fered so much that I was quite willing to
die , but It Bccms that 1 was nearer relief
than I knew. One week from the day the ,
doctor last called a falsa growth , as largo
as a coffee cup , and which looked na though
It had been very large , left me. I sent for
the doctor , and ho declared It was a fibroid
tumor , but said he had never known ono
to come away ot Itselt beforo. 1 Immediately
began to gain health and strength , and I
unhesitatingly declare that my rescue from
death was due uolely to the marvelous ef
fects of Warner's Safe Cure , which was the
remedy 1 took unknown to the physicians ,
and which certainly rescued mo from the
giave. H Is my firm belief that many ladlcu
who ara said to die of cancer of the womb
are caesi , llko mine , and If they could bo'
