LINCOLN. Juno 15. ( Special. ) An ex
pression of the feelings of the boys of the
First regiment toward Governor Poynter hao
at last reached the United States. The news
of the governor's veto was received by the
regiment during the first week In May. Ger
main Towle of South Omaha , the well known
newspaper correspondent and a member of
the First regiment , writes as follows con
cerning the manner In which the news was
received by the boyo of the regiment :
"When news reached the regiment of
Governor Poynter's backhanded slap at the
fighting men of his state their Indignation
was AotnetlilnR It were unpleasant for him to
witness. If ho had been hero to hear the
hissro and the loving terms attached to his
name by hln statesmen the suspicion might
have entered his mind that perhaps he had
' ' all. The could
'stulllfled' himself after . boys
have made allowances for the governor's
position .between . the devil and the deep sea
had ho poured a Httlo oil on the waters , In
stead of stirring them up with such rude
harshness. _
"To aggravate the Just sentiment of the
regiment the papers hero took the matter
up nnd unfeelingly exposed our open wound
to the scorn of all on the Island. Our com
rades from other states , by word and look ,
seemed to criticise us as though we were
renponslblo for the bludgeoning sentiments
of our governor , nnd we , as our good state's
only representative * , must bear the burden.
It has been suggested that by the time we
get back Governor Poynter will have , prepared
pared n long address of condemnation and
vituperation to hurl at us from the state
house steps. To this a dozen voices cried In
rough and ready response : 'Let him hurl
nnd bo d d ! ' "
The resolution of thanks -was vetoed
March 30 and the above IB the first com
munication from Manila written and pub
lished since the news of the governor's ac
tion was received In the Islandn. Mr.
Towle's letter Indicated that even the polit
ical sentiment of the regiment has changed
on account of Governor Poynter's attitude
toward the members of the Nebraska regi
ment.

HnpriMiic Court Special Reunion.
The supreme court held a special session
this afternoon to admit to the bar of Ne
braska the twelve young men who suc
cessfully passed the examination before the
supreme court commission yesterday. All
but two of the applicants passed the ex
amination , but one of these men , H. L.
Standovcn of Omaha , was not admitted be
cause ho Is not of age. Ho will bo sworn
In as an attorney as soon as he becomes 21.
Those who were admitted today were O. S.
Lorlng , 0. S. Erwln , Otla D. Fisher , E. M.
Oarnott , P. H. Fuller , J. A. Beck , A. L. .
Knabo , Joseph Carr , Fred Eastman , S. S.
Cox , "W. A. Johns and H. L. Standevon.
The examination , It was said , was some
what harder than heretofore , but In moving
their admission to the bar In the supreme
court this afternoon Roscoe Pound , one of
the examiners , stated that the average of
the men was higher than that of any other
set pf applicants examined for several
years , being above 70. The examination
consisted of , about 150 questions under the
following heads : Real property , equity ,
torts , evidence , constitutional law , plead
ings , corporations , contracts , domestic re
lations , criminal law. When the decision
of tbo examiners was announced one of the
young men who failed to pass fainted and
had to bo carried from the room by his
friends , Joseph Carr of Sterling is a col
ored man.
The Lancaster county republican central
committee In considering the legality of two
acts passed by the last legislature , one
limiting the number of Justices of the peace
for cities of the second class to two and
the other one providing for three , Both
wcro signed by Governor Poynter on the
same day nnd the question now arises
whether the committco should allow three
candidates to bo nominated or to restrict
the number to two. County Attorney Mun-
per has given the following opinion on the
subject :
LINCOLN , Neb. . June IB , Hon. V. H.
fitonc , Chairman Republican County Cen
tral Committee : Dear Sir In reply 1o your
question as to which of the two nets paesed
by tbo fast legislature , house rolls 3U2 and
413 , will govern as to the election of Justice
of the peace and constable in the city of
Lincoln and at the coming elcctlor It Is my
opinion that house roll No. 413 Is the act
whoso provisions will govern. Both acts
wcro approved at the samp hour and minute.
The construction that gives effec' to the
provision for two justices for Lincoln and
one police judge for Omaha gives effect to
the legislative will. There Is some ques
tion as to the Omaha act being constltu-
tlonaF , but In cither case I think that but
two justices and constables are to be elected
In tbo city of Lincoln.
THOMAS O. MUNGER.
County Attorney.
Acting on tbo opinion of the county attorney -
torney It IB quite probable thai only two
nominations for justice will be made at the
republican county convention tomorrow aft
ernoon. If three men are elected and the
bill providing for that number of justices
of the peace Is declared unconstitutional or
void the three men would have some dim-
culty In deciding which one of them should
step out of office.

PLATTSMOUTII , Neb. , June 15. ( Spe
cial. ) The case of the State against J. K.
Andrews and son , charged with stealing
calves from Schroder & Conn , near Alvo , on
the night of May 11 , occupied Judge Archer's
court all day. County Attorney J. L. Root.
succeeded In proving by hln witnesses that'
the Andrews' were In two different places at
the came time. Hon. II. D. Travis produced
evidence which proved thai J. K. Andrews
played checkers In Havelock with the ex-
mayor of thai clly unlll 11 o'clock cf the
night the calves were stolen and that
Clarence Andrews , his son , stayed at home
with his mother In University Place the
same night. There being no evidence to
show who stole the calves the Judge re
leased the prisoners. It Is generally be
loved thai a great Injustice hiw been done

way from Lincoln to South Bend when ar
rested and placed In Jail here , where they
lave since been confined. It Is probably a
case of mistaken Identity.

yesterday nnd there ore 500 still unpaid.
The arms of those who havp been paid have
been delivered to the alcalde. Many of
those who had no arms demanded arms from
the mayor , but were refused. The men then
awnmed a threatening altitude and the ofll-
ccrs In command ordered troops to guard the
building and telegraphed to General Brooke
asking permission to extend the time "of pay
ment , ns some of the Cubans arc entirely
destitute and many of them without moans
of returning to their homes. A guard was
quartered In the town all night nnd the
signal ofllce was kept open , waiting for the
governor general's message granting an ex
tension of the time. The Cubans bought all
the revolvers In town nnd Cuban ofilcers
having rifles , sold them for ns much as J25.
The anne will probably bo returned If the
men are not paid , as they were only pur
chased as a means of obtaining the pay
master's recoznltlon.

like the 'deiv of the

Ilcsh an < lo the bare metal c'.eetrodes used
on the other various makes of belt ? . HO I
constructed and patented an Blectrlct Belt
with Soft , Silken , Chamois-Covered

also keeps open the pores of the skin and
allows the entire current to penetrate the

other belts ( that is one reason tfiey blis

other electrical appliances of this char
acter , I found that the acids In which
they are charged would entirely consumtl
them burn them up within from threu
( I six months , when they became utterly
worthiest ? . Thinking over this vital defect.
I devised and constructed an Elcctrlo
Helt that can be renewed at will when
burned out. It will last so well , however ,
that I guarantee It for a year and wll' ul-
ways repair It FREE , After a year I
charge the mere sum of 75 cents Just the
actual cost of material anil labor In rn-
newlng. In my Kelt each cftll Is a doubla
one , and cv.upled with the fact that It
transmits a current of electricity with less
resistance than any other belt , I unhes
itatingly guarantee It to bo four U ) tlmea
stronger than any belt upon earth. 1 do

guarantee the cure. Will permanently
