"There arc a Rood many International complications that never come to the notice of the State department. " The man who made this statement , relates the Washington 1'ost , was a young physician. His roml- | nlscences of student daya at European uni versities are replete .with Interesting anec ' dote. "These International squabbles ore not ex- nctly what you would call Imbroglios , for they partake too much of a personal nature. Yet they nre Inspired by patriotism , orwhat passes for the same thing. I was a student nt the University of lierlln , and we had n great -many Americans In the medical and other departments. The way those fellows comported themselves on various trying oc casions made me glad to acknowledge that 1was born under the stars and stripes. "You eccthere Is a great deal of dueling among the students. They take their cue from the army. There Is a bearish Insolence In their manner that U unendurable , and ivhen they try It on a high-spirited boy from this side cf the Atlantic they are sure to rouse a tiger. Americans don't take kindly to the dueling system. It Is rarely fatal , tout -when It comes to disfiguring a man's countenance It throws blue vitriol lu the ebadc. ' It Is easy to see why an American would not enjoy the business. He regards life too seriously to consider this thrust and parry business as a mere pastime. When he throws down the glove ho means business. He calls plstoU , and there Is little probability of coffee afterward. It means the morgue or the hospital. Of course this puzzles the Germans. They don't like to see a go to o. finish. They prefer trying for points. Another thing seems to keep them guessing. If you strike a German a good heavy blow he will not return it. He doesn't know how. Snlil the Ilhlnc Wim Muddy. "Quarrels are picked on the slightest pre text. Iwas Kitting one evening at a table In a toeer garden conversing In German with a fellow student who balled frxim Denver. His name was Hartley and he was a bundle of nerve. Wewere talking lu moderate tones discussing the rlx'ers of the world. Dartley remarked that the Rhino was muddy. Two or three German students were sitting at an adjacent table and one of them hap pened to overhear the remark. He stepped up to us with a blustering air. " 'Did you eay the Khlne was a muddy river ? ' he asked In a threatening tone. Bart- ley replied that ho did. " 'I live on the Hhlne. ' remarked the Deutscher ( significantly. " 'What of U ? ' asked nartley with amused Interest. " 'This much , ' answered the German get ting excited. 'You have cast a reflection on the river and you have Insulted me. I ftiall call you to account for your offensive lan guage. I challenge you to a duel. ' " 'I don't want to fight a duel. ' " 'As you please , sir. If you decline to flght I shall brand you as a coward. ' " 'But I don't think I am a coward , ' an swered Hartley In a quiet way. He stin re fused to look at the matter In a serious light. I may bo a. coward , but I don't think that I am. I shall not fight unless you insist on It , for I don't see anal wo have any quarrel. You don't own the Rhine. You aci as It you had exclusive control of th stream. Go away. You are drunk. ' "This enraged the would-be duelist beyond measure. Ho fairly frothed at the mouth and began to .talk of the choice manner In which he would carve up the insulting Amer ican. Things began to come to a crisis. The warlike student wanted to haveChe affair come off right away. Hartley turned to me end asked with a wink If I wouM act as his second. I replied that I would. The Ger man dramatically shouted that ho wanted no delay. " 'Hold on , ' cried Bartley. 'I have the right 1o choose the weapons , I beJieve. ' Everyone stopped , and there was a murmur that told him he was correct. I could see that tJie belligerent student was a Uttlo wor ried. He expected that the cholce'would be pistols , and he did net , Abe to face one with an American looking coolly o\er tbe shinIng - Ing barrel. Hv paused , > ; tien added wUh a tneer : " ' then Herr American. 'Lot It be pistols , , I shall shoot to klH. So beware. ' " 'Who tald I was going to ask for pis . tols ? ' retorttd Bartley with a glare. 'I call . for shotguns loaded with twcrve buckshot , at fifteen paces. " "The mob stared In amazement. The big guy who was so anxious for a scrap gave a gulp that should have landed his esopba- gue at the bottom of his stomach. " 'What do you mean ? ' he gasped. " 'Just what I nald , ' answered Bartley is coolly as If be were discussing a shot at billiards. " 'You are crazy. ' " Tm not a coward , then ? ' "But tbe student had forgotten all about There nre times when a horse knows more than a man ; when instinct is superior to reason. The horse fights against being forced over the brink of a precipice which he can see in the dark but which is veiled from the man's eyes. It is often the same with a man's body ; it fights against carry ing the man over the brink of the preci pice , disease , when the heart beats irreg ularly ; when there arc pains in the head , ringing in the ears , cough , indirection , loss of appetite and lack of energy some or all of these symp toms the body is on the brink of danger and is crying " halt I" No man need be . . carried over the fatal V brink of disease if he will heed Nature's warning and accept her help. This help in its roost concen trated and perfect form is contained in Dr. Pieice's Golden Medical Discovery. This great alterative extract completely modifies every abnormal condition of the disordered digestive or alimentary functions. It makes the stomach strong , the blood rich and healthy , builds up the nerve centers and to regulates Uie functions of all the vital or gans , that they co-operate perfectly for the health of tbe entire system.

"But some of the Americans ted to piny the Germans M. their own game. One tt particular , a aon of a United States naval omcer , became the most expert swordsman at the university. His name wag Miller. I don't know what course lie was taking. In fact , I don't think he studied much but the art of dueling. Ha was post master In the craft. Aiuillipr 11 ticky Aniprlrnn. "The style In vogue among the students Is peculiar. They use swords that are square at the end and sharp only for about nn inch from the extremity of the blade. The ad versaries fare one another from a foot and a half to three feet apart. The hilt Is lield high above their heads and the stroke Is a downward slush. The work Is done entirely with the wrist and the elbow , and It Is about as tiresome as any exercise you ever snv > . The duelists wear snow-white aprons , willed come clcsc up around their necks. When blood Is drann It will ; how upon ttic nprot- and hc fight Is called by the seconds. It * they want to KO on they can , but blood oa the apron ls supposed to satisfy honor. "This boy Miller was a little fellow. Onis would think that he would be nt a dtsaa- vai tagc In n contest with a tall man. but he waa not. I saw him when he made his reputation. Ho was called out by tlio cham pion duelist of the academy the first time. The German was a big fellow and ho thought ho had a snap. They stood so close to one another that It looked ns If they wore In a clinch. Jllller's shortness of stature served tlm well. Tbo blades were locked all the time , and he had the best of the leverage. They puffed and blew and slashed for about half an hour. Then llttlo Miller broke down his opponent's guard , made a side slash and cut away n large portion ot his adversary's cheek bone. Needless to say , that Btoppcd he fight. Miller was called out seventeen times after that and he butchered his an- agonists frightfully. Never once did he have blood on bis apron. At the end of the term they bave what they call the 'Knelpc. * It Is a series of duels lor the honor of Uie various corps , or fra- .crnltles. Miller represented the Rhine corps and defeated all comers. Talk about hero worship ! Those phlegmatic old Germans almost canonized Miller while he was still alive. He was one of those fellows who do more toward giving our nation a standing abroad than all the secretaries of state we ever had. " SEVERAL HARDJ.UCK TALES Judec fiordoti Llnteii * Patiently and Then I ) on IN Out .Iimtlce tvUh a Lenient Ilnnd. A motley crowd appeared before Judge Gordon when police court was called to , order. The charges ranged In seriousness from vagrancy to burglary , and the defend ants limped on one leg- , hobbled on crutches or staggered toward the bar o ! the court to respond to the complaints. The first three were apparently hard working labor ers , and the court said he would not fine them for drunkenness If they would promise to be gcod. They readily agreed to his re quest and said they would profit by his warning not to appear before him again. Fred Taylor -was the best dressed man In the crowd , although his face Indicated that ho had gone up against a pile driver. He was arrested In Marie Sloan's place Tuesday night for smashing up her commode nnd all the chlnaware In sight. He also struck Special Officer Cullen , who arrested him and would have made life Interesting to the officer had not Lew Goldsmith and Lot , his bartender , appeared on the scene In time to assist the block watch. A part ner of Taylor was fortunate enough to es cape , although he left his overcoat and hat behind. Taylor was fined fo and costs. John Harrington limped , or rather hopped before the court cn one leg , as he had sold the artificial limb he has used for years for liquor. Judge Gordon asked him bow many times he thought the court ought tc let him go , and ha responded that he thought seventy times seven would be about Ight. His honor responded that he had xerclsed his clemency Just about that man } Imes , and now he proposed to give ten days' support to the unfortunate , as the cltj would afford him shelter. John Whelan , with his red top , was tht next arrival. The court sized him up , said ie believed he was a vagrant of the flrsl water and sentenced him to ten days bare abor scrubbing out the city Jail. Whelar iad been there T > efore , and without pausing nformed his honor that walking was good and If given an opportunity Omaha woulc lave no further knowledge of his deeds 01 misdeeds. Thinking the city would be bet- er off without him tbe Judge told him to go In tbo course of human events John Dun : sauntered before the court. John bore th appearance of a hardworking farmer anc said that he was a great tiller of the soil He had come across the river and In an un guarded moment had tarried too long at thi beer keg. He was found drunk and lylnj on the sidewalk , and be confessed that real ) that was his condition. His honor took pit on bis rusticity and discharged him. Thei John innocently asked where he would flni its team. He thought the city ought to havi , taken care of bis mule and horse for him t Sergeant Bebout volunteered tbe Informa tlon that the police were always tboughtfu and had arrested the team also. Perhaps the most dilapidated perambulate was John Havercamp. When the door ti tbe cuckoo box opened be attracted lots o of attention. John 'was ' Imbued with th idea that a man's overcoat should t worn next to his body , and ha put the Idea Into effect by placln a short sack coat on the outside. Anothe coat hung over his arm , evidently a secon overcoat. He was charged with being noth Ing more than a pariah and the court gav him a limited amount of time to continu his peregrinations. , G. W. Morgan , a middle-aged man , dragge bis misshapen body from the booth to nn swer to the charge of being drunk and dis orderly. Officer Goodrich attempted to ar rest him , and Morgan cracked him ncros the bead with one of his crutches. He prom Ucd to keep sober , and was discharged , n the court felt sorry for his condition.

SEERS AID OF THE COURTS Jennie Leonard Alleges that She Has Been Swindled , METHODS PRACTICED BY AN ATTORNEY llccil ( ilvcn ni n Matter of I'orni Turin , ( hit Hi llr nn All-illII c Trnnnftr iif Prop er ! ) . If the allegations contained In an amended petition filed In the district court are true , Jennie Leonard Is a much abused woman. A ordlng to her story she has been bilked out of the one piece of property that she owned. Mrs. Leonard asserts that her only knowl edge of the laws of this country Is that they permit her to earn a bare sustenance for herself and her young child. Some time ago she owned n lot near Eighteenth and Dorcus streets that she values at $300 , and about { 100 worth of personal property. She got Into a financial controversy- which resulted In a replevin suit In Justice court In which j her personal property was sacrificed. Then , she alleges , came one Jatnos Grlflin , who representedhlmselfasafriend. Heassuredher that ho had practiced as a lawyer end was well acquainted -with the ways of Ameri can Jurisprudence. As her friend he ad vised her that her lot was to be con fiscated to ray the costs of the replevin suit , and that If tbe rapacity of the law was not satisfied a few weeks more would leave her without a dollar on earth. He suggested that she deed the lot to him In order to save It from the grip of her enemies. He agreed that he would not have the deed re corded. It was to be a mere matter of form and as soon as the suit had blown over It would bo destroyed and her property would be saved. She declares that she accepted the propo sition as the only way out of her trouble. She deeded the lot to Griffin and It was not Involved In the litigation. But then she dis covered that she had saved her property only to lose it. Now she has appealed to the district court to set aside the deed , which she alleges was obtained by fraud , and to restore her the undisputed title to her property. AFFAIHS OF ( il21IMAS.VV1XGS I1AMC Honrlnc lu Supreme Court LIUely to 31cet T Hh Much Delny. The action of the Nebraska legislature In 1 abolishing the supreme court commission Is already figuring In local litigation and la cases in which appeals are taken the at torneys are insisting on largely Increased bonds In view of the fact that the date , on which a final adjudication can be secured is now speculative. One of the most Important Instances ot t this contention occurs in the case ot the state against the defunct German Savings bank of this city , which Is now In course ot appeal to the supreme court. B. G. Burbank - bank has filed an affidavit in which be insists that the supersedeas bond shall be fixed at not less than J30.000. In support of this he cites at length the condition of the bank . and the situation of Its real estate In regard to tax Incumbrances. He says that on March 1 the taxes standing against the real property amounted , with Interest , lo J4.500. Interest Is delinquent In nearly every case and the gross amount that Is added to the Hen each year Is constantly Increasing. He figures that under the old order of procedure , cedure It would require two years and five . months to reach "the case In the eupremo court. Now that the commission has been e abolished this period Is largely Increased and he contends that a decision cannot pos sibly be secured In less than four years. During this time the delinquent Interest , will be constantly piling up , and he urges that a heavy bond is required to meet this contingency. TIlCHMCAli KKATI'IIES OF THE LAW. o oe e An Crror of nn Attorney Given TITO it Mrii Their .Freedom. ity itd Two young men , Green and Harris , who y were bound over In police court some time a ago for stealing a quantity of lead pipe from an empty house , are enjoying tbelr liberty > because the prosecuting attorney did not ktow as much law when he filed the Information mation as he does at present. The house was owned by a non-resident and was leased by a local real estate firm to William Gerke , superintendent of tbe market place. Gerke was moving Into tht house when the robbery occurred. He had the key and had made the payments thai vero dua on the lease , but In filing the in - formation the public prosecutor charged tbe offenders with stealing the plumbing froir the non-resident owner. When the case was < called before Judge Baker the attorney foi | the defense very promptly raised the polnl that Gerke was the owner while bis least was in effect and that the Information and < the preliminary bearing were therefore Im ! proper. Judge Baker stated that there if ; no question whatever but that the lessee litho ] the owner In law , and the prisoners wen discharged with an admonition not to do li again , as such mistakes did not alwayi occur. t. roil JUIJGU AXD JiritY TO iJKtini ; Knotty Point * Italm-il in Cuxe When Cattle Arc the l in' . 3r Judge Slabaugh Is being entertained by lo COw case presenting some elements tba D' I promise to be difficult of adjustment.

Another continuance was announced In the adultery cases pending against * x- I'atrolman James Connell and Mrs. Luella Marcell when the motion of the defendants for dismissal on the ground that the allega tions were made under an old statute were brought up for argument. Luke Long has been found guilty of steal ing a ham from a South Thirteenth street : butcher shop.

Shahan , who operated a private bank at Champion , this state , cut a wide swath. He had a fine residence , owned blooded horses and was considered one of the wealthy men of the town. Now , however , Mr. Shahan is In the custody of the United States authorities , charged with using the malls for tbe purpose - , pose of defrauding. I During the times when the panic swept over the country a few years ago the bank that was operated by Mr. Shahan , like many others , went to the wall. However , the financial operations of Mr. Shahan did not end here , if the allegations charged are true. It Is alleged that after the suspension of his bank he ordered a new supply of let ter heads and envelopes , and continued to use this writing material for the purpose of convincing the unsuspecting that he was a t | banker In good standing. He sent put e numerous letters and thus succeeded in i gathering In many dollars. Sometime ago e the matter was called to the attention of the United States officials here , and officers were o put upon the trail. The case was turned e j over to Deputy Marshal Barber , who was f I given authority to use his own judgment. a He went to Champion , and after making a thorough Investigation concluded that there were sufficient grounds for Snaking an arrest. Acting upon the conclusions , he has gathered Mr. Shahan In and has him here in Omaha. Shahan is as mum as an oyster , and de clines to talk of the charges against him. ' Practice Ilencne Work.
