U'llvvj llrlil for C'ntitviuiit of Court lti * > n. Ilc-rrltiK mill MneUnj. Judge Scott ordered Rlmor P. Qulvcy , state manager of the Nebraska Children's Home society , committed to Jail > esterday on account of alleged contempt of court In connection with the Uodd habeas corpus proceeding , which has been before the court for somu time. As BOOH aw the Judge had made the order lolutlxo to Manager Qulvey ho turned his batteries upon Hov. T. J. Mackay , rector of All Saints' church , and Hov I ! t. Herrln ? , pastor of the Plrst Congregational church To boriovv from street vernacular. Judge Scott ronstcd the preachers to a terra cotta tint. tint.Hevs. Hevs. Mnekay and Herring must appear before Judge Scott Monday morning at 10 o'clock to show cause why they should not bo committed to Jail for contempt The tirade of the court was based on a letter which purported to be from Hevs. Muckny and Herring. In RUbstanco the let ter said th.\t In the opinion of the writers the Dodd children , over whom the habeas corpus was Instituted , will fare better In the homes provided for them by the society than they will if given to the parents , Dcnjamln Dodd and wife , who are plaintiffs In the , ic- tlon. Judge Scott construed the comnv'nlca- ' tlon to be an impertinent interferui with the court and for several minutes lit deliv ered hlmoolf of wortln that must have made thp cars of the good men burn , If there Is nny truth In the time-honored car-burning theory. { 'ho letter was couched In mild language ami iiecordliiR to the Interpretation of a lay man there wtm nothing dictatorial about It , but Jutlgp Scott did not so Interpret , and after criticising the ministers most harshly , declaring they wrrc meddling with some thing that did not concern them and that they had no right to address thu court as they had clone , ho ordered Attorney Churchill , who represents the Dodd chil dren , to file information agjlnst the preach ers , citing them for contempt. 'I Ilo ( luiriiiAunliiHt llulvi-y. The specific charRO against Mr. Qulvey Is that ns manager of the society ho Is re r ; sponsible for the failure of the sheriff to produce Marvel and Clara Dortd In t'ourt as oordond by the Judge Those are two of tbo four children figuring In the case. One Is at Craig and the other nt Alma. Deputy sheriffs who were sent after the children were Informed by the guardlins who 're ceived the little ones frcm the soclely that they would not glvo them up , and the officers returned empty-handed. So this Is tivby Mr. Qulvey Is hold He was not In the court room at the time the order was made , but wilt probably be found In a few hours. This Is not his first experience with Judge Pcott , for the Dodd case has been In court a long while , and on September It , 1898 , a Jail order for contempt was Issued against him. The present order Instructs the clerk of the district court to Issue a mittimus upon .the order heretofore- entered It Is stipu lated that Mr. Qulvey shall ha liberated .is f-oon a& bo produces the missing children In 'court. Itcnjamln Dodd nnd his wlfo have ten Children. Dodd Is not phjsically able to do common labor and his education und train- yng are not such as to glvo him entry to a ? hlgher line of work. Two or thrco years ago , when the Dodds lived at Grand Island , thp Nebraska Children's Homo society In- " ' "ve'stlgatcd conditions and took charge of the smaller children. Some time later Dodd i nnd his wife came into court representing th.it they had become able to care for their children. Meanwhile the society had found homes for them , nnd refused to Interfere. i Then cnnro the habeas corpus suit , which Is I Htlll dragging along. The DjdJs now live | In Omaha.

" "Why , the way ex-Senator Allen is act ing , " exclaimed a well-known Omaha fuslonlst yesterdaj "Here he came down to Omaha today and spent several hours'at his hotel and then went back home In the afternoon without doing a thing , A whole lot of us went to him and asked him If he wouldn't pull out of the race for the sena torial vacancy in favor of Hitchcock. " 'I thought you fellows had all endorsed mo onb a jcar ago , ' responded the senator. 'You told me jou were for me first , last and all the time. What's happened to make you change your minds so suddenly ? ' "That was a stumper. Of course , we didn't dare to tell him that we hadn't changed our minds , but that we were just running n big bluff on him last year and didn't mean half what we said. "He had quite a lot of callers during the afternoon and some of them laid down on him pretty hard , but I'm afraid just as many took the other end because when he got through they seemed to have stiffened his bick and bo didn't weaken a bit. "But Just wait till the governor comes down hero next Monday We'll show him a thing or two. We have organized this town EO llrat they will have to line up and take numbers in order to get at him. Every | rnothfr's son who holds a public Job under a fusion official or expects to has Instruc tions to join In the siege. "Did jou notice what Ransom did in lining up the silver republicans ? He's going to get even for Bill Paxton getting cinched ' on Hartley's bond. Did you notice , tco , how j Scott came In' The judge knows who has i been helping him. It's too bad , however , about the silver republicans that there are HO few of them. Why , they couldn't get a corporal's guard out to the meeting. "But then there's the Jacksonlans , the County Democracy , the Peter Coopers and all the rent. It's pretty hard for some of them to turn somersaults on their records. They've ail boosted Allen so hard In the past. But then there are ways of turning them. "What am I going to get out of It' Well , never mind , you'll hero about that later. " SILVER REPUBLICANS MEET TuKi- Action III Itt-Kiiril ( n Forcing n Knlr IMvlNloii of the Polltlcnl Spoil * . About n dozen silver republicans , repre senting themselves to be the city central committed of that party , met at the offlco of John 0 Arthur > esterday afternoon. Arrrong these present were Frank Hansom , Dr. Savllle , H F. Williams , Judge Scott , Lawrcnco Hath , James Council , John 0. Arthur and four or flvo others. The com- mltteo appointed sometime ago to act In con junction with a similar committee from tbo populist county central committee In secur ing from thcr democrats division cf the spoils , reported llrt joint meeting with the populist committee , at which James Comrell had been endorsed for appointment as a deputy shcrlfi' . The action of the cominlt- j i tee wait endorsed , but no nctlcn was taken In vtow of the fact that Conncll has never received hia appointment. This committee also reported the resolu tion adopted nt the joint meeting of popu- lletN and silver republicans to the effect that If the democrats did not make a fair dovlslon of the spoils , the populists and silver republicans should call city conven tions not later than December 23 and nlaco n city ticket In nomination by a fusion ot silver republicans and populists. No action wuu taken > estcrday on thin recommenda tion , probably because the populluts have been assured a share of the spoils and bavii "laid down" c their silver repub lican allies. A resolution was adopted endorsing 0. M. Hitchcock for appointment as United States senator.

NHNY ARE FORC-D TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL t nclcnn Pooil Snlil ( o Up Thrlr Pro- Mili-n ( IolVhllc foniiilnlntn Arc ' 1 rented UKVniHon Acts of Iiinnliorillmttlon. In the opinion of A. J. Fairbanks , formerly custodian of boys at the Nebraska Institute for the Deaf and Dumb , that refuge for un fortunates has become a fit subject for leg islative Inquiry. Mr. Fairbanks has a daughter In the Institution and was there In ' nn offlrial capacity during the first month of I the term beginning October H. "Many children have been forced to leave the Institute , " bo says , "through the brutal treatment of those entrusted by the stn'e with their care and I know of a number ol parents who have refused to allow their children to return after hearing their stories of the practices Indulged In. The school Is doing no good under present methods anil the officials responsible are Superintendent Henry C. Davves and his wife , who acts as matron. "Pupils are often punished shamefully , al though entirely Innocent of any wrong In tention , but who have no sufficient way of expressing themselves to make a defense. Many children have been beaten who did nol even know the nature of the charge against them. Besides the harsh treatment the- In mates are often forced to eat food which Is unclean and any pupil who protests Is roughly handled. Another Injury to the wellbelng of the school Is the quarreling among the employes. During rny stay there two of them had a rough and tumble fight and the worsted one was badly cut about the head. I'nnil In I'liolciin. On ono occasion while the boys under mv chareo were at the dinner table Charles Porter , an orphan from Humboldt , Neb. , found that the bread which had been ap portioned to his plate had been half-de- vourod by mice. The morsel also had an offensive odor and the mute threw It upon the table In disgust. For this alleged Insub ordination the child received a blow on the bead from the matron which knocked him from his chair. Ho was then taken Into the ofllco of the superintendent where ho was evidently beaten further , as ho came out cryIng - Ing bitterly. The boy said that he had been thrown across n chair and flogged with n heavy strap I afterward examined the piece of bread and found It filth } . "Another unfortunate who was punished for finding fault with the food was John Kubat of Crete , Neb , who found streaks of dirt In the molasses. Kubat was asked why he loft the syrup untasted and answered that It was dirty. In the sign language the words ' ' ' ' 'dirty' and 'hog' arc expressed by signs somewhat alike , and the boy was probably understood as referring to the management by the latter title. Although I did not vvlt- npsa the boy's punishment I understand that ho was painfully bruised from the beat- Ing. 1'ernccuUnii of Orphan. "I have heard also that Chester Gabriel , an orphan from Tecumseh , Nob. , was forced to leave the Institute after having been sub jected to petty persecution by his teachers. He also found fault with the food and Is said to have been beaten severely. His lot finally became so unbearable that ho ran and I bpllev-0 has away found work In a South Omaha Packing house. "Quarrels , among the employes are of frequent occurrence and John Zadlna , one of the supervisors , especially has had a num ber of fights on the premises. The accounts of these combats are circulated among the pupils and Interfere with the progrers of the work. According to one story current at the Institute Zadlna made an attempt to bully Lloyd Rhlley , captain of the foot ball team and a resident of East Omaha. The young deaf and dumb athlete was more than a match for the warden and gave him a severe thrashing. For this offense Hblley was expelled from the Institute , but Zadlna Is still continued on the pay roll. Zadlna Is also said to have had trouble with Zlba Osman , a mute from Benedict , who was like wise able to take his own part , and with Weldon Stoner of Beatrice Stoner Is not a strong lad and I understand that he was roughly handled He carried the marks of a blow for several weeks. /.nilliiiL In "Another encounter of Zadlna and the engineer Is also- discussed among the pupils The boys say that Zadina attacked the en gineer with a chisel , while the latter made a good defei se with a bicycle pump. Neither of the men was seriously hurt , though each received cuts and bruises and It was necessary to take several stitches In Zadlna's scalp. "My daughter , now at the Institute , has also been a victim of the haste and 111 temper of the matron On ono occasion she was accused of the theft of a bunch of kojs and was under suspicion for several da > s before she was vindicated by the dlsovery of the keys. During the interim she was shaken violently a number of times In the hope of extorting a confession. " "One Minute Cough Cure Is the best rem edy I ever used for coughs and colds. It Is unequaled for whooping cough. Children all like It. " writes H. N. Williams , Gentryvllle , Ind. Never falls , it Is the only harmless remedy that gives Immediate results. Cures coughs , colds , hoarseness , croup , pncumonl ? , bronchitis and all throat and lung troubles. Its early use prevents consumption. FLIGHT THROUGH A SEWER l > rnliinte Sjxleni of Oinnlin Afford * n Criminal n Chance to l > unu- the Authorities. On a quiet Sunday afternoon about two months ago there was a bar room brawl In n saloon near Thirtieth and Plnckney streets. Charles Fisher , colored , dangerously assaulted an attache of the place and It was thought for some time that a murder had been committed. Under this Impression the assailant fled. Several pursuers were close behind him and the fugitive , hard pressed , riyi Into the open sewerage canal on Thirty-first street. The drain leads Into tbo main brick sewer leadIng - Ing north and the fleeing' negro entered this without hesitation. Ho Is supposed to have followed this subterranean canal to Its outlet near Miller park , where he found hlmslf In nn open country with every opportunity of escape. The sewer was about six feet In diameter with less than a foot of water In the bottom and the fugitive had been able to make nearly ns good tlmo as If run ning above ground , His pursuers , Ignorant of the course of the drain , vvero thrown off the track , Considering the youth of the city the dralnago njutem Is In a highly perfected condition and Omaha la undermined with a network of sewers , any one of which U largo enough to admit the passage of a human body. In fact , they would furnish almost as secure a means of escape as the famous drains of Paris through which "Jean Valjenn" made his notable escape and which were once habitually uued as n hiding place for criminals City Knglnecr Hoseivatcr. In pointing out the routes which might be followed under ground , showed that a fugitive mlcht gain almost any point of exit ho desired If be was familiar with the system "A man could enter the main bower at Twelfth and Izard streets , " be said , "and proceed to Twenty-fifth nnd Cumlng etreetn nnd thence In n southwesterly course to Thirtieth nnd Lenvtnworth. Taking another route from the rnre entrance , he could emerge west of the- exposition grounds One might nlso enter the main nt Twentieth nnd Farnam streets nnd make his wny either to the river nt Sixth nnd Jones streets or to Krug's brewery near South Omaha The sewers Along the routes mentioned nrc from three to eight nnd a half feet In diameter and usually contnln wnter to the depth of twelve Inches. There would bp no danger of ns- phyclatlon. but In case ot rnln the fugitive might be In danger of drowning. The bottoms toms nre nil n solid pavement of brick nnd ho would encounter no quagmires such as nearly brought death to the hero of "Lea Mlscrables. " The city engineer sajs lr has frequently sent his gango through the mains on tours o ! Inspection and the concrete nnd brick work have nlwn > 8 been reported In good rendition. Ho * n > s that after other public work of more Immediate Importance have been disposed of , that ho Intends to glvo the sewers n thorough Investigation Dams will bo erected nt Intervuls nnd the contents temporarily diverted Into other channels to allow' masons to work on the bottom. All Irregularities or depressions which might retard the flow of sewage will be filled In evenly with concrete. "The men will work by the aid of electric lights which will bo carried through the channels as the work progresses. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
