Captain Kell on Sick Leave. Captain William H. Kell , Company C , Twenty-second Infantry , who baa been doing detached service as mustering officer for Nebraska , has been relieved of that duty and has been granted a leave of ab sence for two months on account of sick ness. Tno captain spent two months In tha Cuban campaign , going there with his regiment In June , and served as adjutant general of General Ludlow's brigade. Wbllo there he acquired a large section ot malaria which has refueod to the present time to leave his system. He has not yet de cided where he will go during his leave , but will select some place where the climate will recuperate his health , and will start as soon as he receives official notice that tbe leave has been granted. The captain Is one of the youngest officers , In appear ance , there la at tbe post , and those who meet him are surprised when Informed that he Is a veteran of the civil war , and served three years during that conflict. The quartermasters office has opened bids on 650 cubic yards of tanbark , which Is to be used at the riding school at Fort Rlley. Four bids were submitted , none of them being from this city , and the lowest was $2.90 per cubic yard , which U con sidered to be low. Vouchers for Funeral Expenses. The quartermaster's office' Is kept busy making out vouchers for the expenses In curred In transporting the remains of dead soldiers to the homed of relatives. This expense Is borne by the War department where It does not exceed In amount what It would cost the government for the same aervlce. In addition to this sum the government allows $35 for funeral expenses. These Items require the making and signing ot many papers , and constitute an Impor tant part of the work ot the department. Major A. S. Towar , chief paymaster of the Department of the Missouri , now ah sent on sick leave , has Just recovered from an operation for appendicitis , which waa performed In a hospital at Detroit. He has written to the officers of the department that he was up and around after teq days , which ho be lieves is the quickest recovery on record for a man of bis age. He adds , however , that tbe surgeons Instruct him to be care ful In his movements. Major W. H. Manner , acting chief pay master of this department , Is the oldest officer in point of military service there la In the paymaster's corps ot tbe army. He Joined the regular army In 1856 and baa aerved in every position from private to major. He was on Fort Bumpier when It was fired uoon by the confederates. He waa ordered to divide the force at the fort Into three reliefs when the attack began , . and aa that left him In a measure without anything to do , he organized the unenllsted tren employed at the fort Into a firing equal , and says they took to the work so en thusiastically that they worked at it with out relief , while the regulars had two hours on duty and four off. The major was out ot the army two years after the civil war , but bas seen forty years of service , enough to retire him It he wished It. He was ap pointed to his present position In the pay master's corps In 1S93. Who Wai tbe YouuKr t.

Pollard of Nehawka , who has been i ' re-elected to the legislature , waa In Omaha ' yesterday In the Interest of bis candidacy for speaker. Mr. Pollard feela very much encouraged over the progress he Is making. He has many friends In this city , won by 1 his outspoken support of the exposition bills In th last legislature and his favorable treatment of other measures in which , Omaha was especially interested. | ! Speaking of the work of the coming leg- | lalature Mr. Pollard says : "I believe It Is the duty of tbe republican majority of the legislature to make a record by redeeming the pledges made by the party at tbe last election. I hope to tee the legislature do business on business principles from the start. I hop * to see It cut loose entirely from all the legislative on-hangers who have had anything to do with the old ring which brought tbe party Into disrepute. If the legislature will in Its leadership and i organization give evidence that new blood | la at the helm of the party , I am sure I It will contribute more to the suc cess of the party in Its efforts to regain control of the entire state govern ment than any other one thing. That Is the platform upon which I am making my campaign for the epeakorshlp and that will be my program If I am elected. " W. D. Haller of Blair , another candidate for the speakershlp , also dropped Into town for the day , accompanied by W. J. Cook , Blair's postmaster. Mr. Haller , however , was not saying anything anent his candi dacy except to Intimate that he did not think Paul Clark of Lincoln had any more strength than himself , flnoklen's Arnica Salve.

BOARD OF INQUIRY MAKES REPORT Surgeon Supposed to Hare Delivered the Cuban Leader Over to Ills Enemies Is Given a Clear Hill. NEW YORK , Dec. 9. A special from Havana says : General Zertucha came Into unenviable notoriety at the time Maceo was killed , when It was charged that , acting'oa Maceo's physician , he betrayed him Into ambush , where he died endeavoring to cut his way out. Zertucha was said to have received 150,000 for. this Infamous act ot treason. Friends of the doctor , however , stood steadfastly by him , asserting that he never had any Idea ot betraying the Insur gent cause. Not long ago he requested an official Inquiry Into his conduct , which was , ordered by General Mayal Rodriguez. ' The report juit made by Alejandro Rodriguez , president of the board of In quiry , completely exonerates Zertucha. The report touches upon Zertucha's services as surgeon and his having exposed himself to j great danger In fifty engagements. He was with Maceo when the latter was killed , and ; made a death certificate before his Inter ment , and then deserted , fearing the enmity of several Cuban leadens , but even out ot the army continued In many ways to assist the cause of the Insurgents , proof of which has been furnished by many. Last May he again joined the forces in . the field , where he acted as chief surgeon and again fought bravely In several battles. The re port concludes by giving him a clear cer- tlflcate of character and patriotism. Musical entertainment Schlitz's cafe 8 to 12 p. m. BATTLE FOR SELF-RESPECT | { Rabbi Franklin Compare * the Situa tion Today with the Time of Jndah Mncuabce. Rabbi Franklin , last night at the , Temple Israel , preached what might be termed a doctrinal sermon. It was an appeal to the , Jews to be loyal In their faith , and not j only loyal but vigorous And energetic In i its defense. He cautioned them not to be led away by the flattery or sophistries of those proselyting for other faiths. His theme was suggested by the coming of tha feast of Chanuca , which , he said , was In spired by a aeries of gallant events re sulting In the restoration of the temple at Jerusalem after it had been denied. "The foremost figure in these events , " said the rabbi , "was that ot the unequaled soldier Judah Maccabee , and It will be difficult to judge whether his sterling qualities as a man or his heroism as a soldier shall crown hla brow with the greater gratitude and admiration. "The Jew ha not many .conquest * of war , for ho Is not a soldier. It Is a rare ex ception to find among Jewish heroes a martial hero , such a one as makes the coming feast a possibility. His only de- clre waa to see the true faith vindicated and the tempi * of Jehovah freed from Idolatry. It would be well today If we had men and women inspired as he was In spired , for there are yet battle * to be fought by the Jew which will require lead ers great and resourceful to overcome the opposition they will meet. "The Jew today U not accorded trie wholeeouled privileges to which be is en titled and there are too many places where he is simply tolerated. We who live In this , the fairest land under the sun , know , nothing of the miseries and , sufferings of our brethren in other countries. The Jew has upon him now the necessity of as I serting to the world that he Is not simply to bo borne with , but that he is by right entitled to all the privileges of his fel- , Io\\s. "The conditions leading up to the feast of Chanuca and those of today are similar. , Then It was a battle for life , and now It Is a battle for equality. We could not have won over the Assyrians with leaders less fearless and less heroic than Maccabees and we can not win our contest over prejudice ' and Injustice without heroism , sacrifice and | | I perseverance. The battles will be fought by congregations such as this. They are 1 the armies and the rabbi la the Maccabee. i It Is , therefore , Important that congregaI I tlons should exercise great care In selecting a rabbi. He should be a man whom they i could , above all things at all times , re spect. But the congregation , as the army , j must be brave and loyally support Its general - 1 eral , carrying our banner onward , forward and upward , that , at the end , we can be enthused with the thought that ours has i been the victory. " 'TRIAL OF CHARLES COSTANZO Preliminary InventlKntlon of the Affair In Which One Italian Was Killed and Two Wounded. The trial of Charles Costanzo , who Is accused ot shooting with Intent to kill , and also with lntnt to wound Pedro Mancuso , commenced yesterday morning before Judge Gordon. Costanzo Is a brother of Philip Cos tanzo , whom Mancuso Is accused of mur dering with a pair ot scissors on November 22. He is an old man , aud , as an attorney expressed it this morning when he entered the court , room , looks very much like Geronlmo. The court room was crowded with Ital- | lane , who were either witnesses or friends of the men Interested. Deputy County Attorney Herring did not think It neces sary to employ an Interpreter , so the trial commenced without the use of one. Nln- nlkl Barbate was the first witness. The shooting of Mancuso and the fatal stabbing of Philip Coatanzo occurred In front of his house. He testified that he was at home all day on the 22d of November. Pedro Mancuso , Philip Costanzo and Sam Maraskl came to his house about C o'clock In the afternoon and engaged in a game for the beer , playing with Joe Barabanuto and a brother of Pedro Mancuso , who were already there. Baralu- nuto and young Mancuso left about G:30 : and Pedro Mancuso and Philip Costanzo com menced playing cards for $5 per game. Pedro Mancuso dealt first and made an error In ' doing so. Philip claimed the money and Mancusa said it was no game. They quar reled and Mancuso drew his revolver to enforce the return of the money , which Coatanzo bad picked up. Maraskl stepped In and separated them , taking Mancuso's revolver from him. Maraskl left the house shortly afterward , and in a few minutes Charley Costanzo came In and the quarrel vtas renewed , 'Tho witness ordered them out of hla house and they obeyed , Charley Costanzo going first , Philip second and Mancuso last. He closed the door and In a few minutes heard aorao shooting. When be went out ho saw Philip Costanzo lying on the ground dead and Charley Costanro standing near by. A crowd assembled and Charley Costanzo and lie were arrested. Sam Maraskl waa tbe second witness to be called. Ills testimony did not differ materi ally from that of Barbato. When he took the revolver from Mancusco he left tbe house and went to bis own home. Detectives Dunn and Davis told bow they I hnd visited tbe home of Barbate to cee I tbe remains of the murdered man and had Animal Ten Pins. Very amusing , only 49c Doll Trunks. Wit blocks nicely decorated , only 23c gone to Mancuso's place afterward. They found Mancuso lying In his room at 203S 'J'oppleton , avenue , face downward , with a couple of cuts In the left shoulder and a bullet wound In the left breast just below the nipple. They returned to the locality where the affray occurred and hearing that Charley Costanzo had , been Injured , entered his house , which was about ten or twelve feet from that of Barbato. They searched the house and found Costanzo's revolver con cealed In a basket filled with pods .of red pepper. It showed every Indication , In their estimation , of having been fired very recently. Pedro Mancuso was brought from hid cell In the jail , where be Is recovering fn i hla wounds and awaiting trial on the charge ot murder. He Is looking thin and weak. Ho Is small and wiry but does not have the appearance of a man who could walk a couple ot blocks as he did with the wounds from which bo was suffering. Judge Bowman , who Is his attorney , asked for an opportunity to confer with his client. After a few moments' delay he objected to the examination ot Mancuso on the ground that It might jeopardize his Interests. He argued' that although Mancuso was tha com plainant against Costanzo , he waa the de fendant In a more serious case and as they were practically a continuation of the same affair It was not right to permit his client to take any chances of incriminating him self. self.The The prosecuting attorney argued that he wanted to ask Mancuso only two questions and ho did not think they would open the case so the crots-examlnatlon would bring out all the facts. He desired to ask him first from what ho was suffering , and If ho responded a gunshot wound , bo would then ask who Inflicted It. Judge Gordon held that the objection ot Judge Bowman was worthy of consideration. He thought It would not be right to permit Mancuso to Injure his own case by testify Ing against Costanzo. The trial was continued until this mornIng - Ing at 10:30' : , aa Mr. Herring desired to ask Detective Dunn questions concerning the admissions of Costanzo when he was being taken to jail. It seems that no onp witnessed the affair or knows how It really occurred except Mancuso and Charley Coi- tanzo. Barbate was locked up In his own house and Maraskl had gone home. Philip Costanzo , the third person outsldo the house and one of the original principals , Is dead. H remains to bo seen whether or not Charles Costanzo will testify against Pedro Mancuso , who la charged with hav , ing stabbed his brother. Prarnull Got Ills II In a : Back.
