LINCOLN. March 13. (Special.) In re
sponsn to a request from an eastern newsrn
Pr Governor I'oyntcr ha.i estimated tho
total population of Nebraska this year to be)
1.25.r,24. Thin estimate Is based on a
comparison of thr voto cast at the general
elections of 1SR0 and ISM. and shows nn In
crease in tho population of 10", fill. Assistant
Director Wines of tho consul bureau has also
asked tho cxecutlvo department for similar
Infcrmatlon and tho details of tho method
employed In making the estimate.
It Is generally believed that the census of
1?00 will chow a larger population, but If tho
same prorortlon of tho people voted for the
head of tho ticket last year as In 1880 tho
estimate of floornor I'oyntcr Is pretty nearly
OTiiratc. In 1889 the total voto was 170,171
nnd tho census of 1S90 showed the population
to be 1.058,010 The voto for tho head of
tho t'eket last year was 203,5,10.
However, of tho total voto cast nt tho
last olection 1,700 failed to voto for tho head
cf the ticket, and no allowance Is mado
for thla number In the governor's reckoning.
It Is probablo that conditions were about tho
samo In 18S!, but there is no data to show
how many failed to voto for tho head of tho
ticket at tho election In that year.
I'lrc Mriinco nl Oiltol,
The apparatus for lighting tho rotunda and
first lloor corridor of the stato house, which
was placed In position to add to the display
at tho reception given W. ,1. Jlryan after he
returned from tho national convention In
Chicago, still remains In the building and
Is a constant menace, not only to the prop
erty of tho state, but to the lives of persons
who visit tho place. Two heavy wires have
been suspended from tho top of the dome
down to a light wooden frame extending
around tho rotunda Just below tho second
door. Other wires are strung along this
framo nnd In cnany places tho Insulation or
covering has been worn off, so that when the
current Is turned on thero Is danger of
firing tho woodwork of tho building. A
lot of Incandescent lamps have been attached
to tho frame, which by their own weight aro
almost heavy enough to pull It away from Its
hangings.
Should a flro originate In tho vicinity of
this wooden framo It could rise rapidly to
the dome, tho Interior of which Is built
mostly of wood, and would bo almost Inac
cessible to ths firemen. This situation Is
morn serious when It Is remembered that
tho stato carries no Insuranco on tho build
ing or contents. A fow moments' flro in tho
library alono could cause a damage of at
least $70,000.
Tho attention of the custodian of tho
building has been called several times to
tho Imperfect nnd dangerous electric wiring
in tho building, but apparently no effort
has bepn made In remedy the evils. Tho
circle of lamps In the center of tho build
ing Is nn unnecessary decoration and has
been used on only one or two occasion.
Tho Farmers' bank of Weeping Water has
been authorized to Increase Its capital stock
from $10,000 to S25.000.

An answer has been filed In tho district

Haynes Is colored, and for this reason, ho

Forvants of guests aro restricted from using

NORFOLK, Neb., March 13. (Special.)
An Interesting case growing out of tho re

Tmnnortatlon was begun today. A few
days previous to tho hearing Charles II

.mri ordered a Sioux City houso to take

shin from that point tnree snipmenis menu
cally the samo In weight and In articles,
namely, bedsprlngs, ono shipment to Hart

After the hearing the goods were ordered
rcshlpped to Norfolk. Upon their arrival
here the shipment from Florence was de
livered at once to the consignee. When tho
shipment from Hnrtlngton arrived the agent
at tho Omaha depot called for the bill of
lading. The original bill of lading having
been filed with tho state board In evidence
a duplicate was presented and the goods
wore delivered.
When the goods from Lincoln arrived
they camo In on tho Fromont, Elkhorn &
MlEflaurl Valley railroad and when the dray
man called for the goods ho was told he must
produce the bill of lading. Tho duplicate
bill was produced and the goods put on

that lie must present tho original bill of
lading, Johnson then had the duplicate hill
assigned to him and called In person for
tho goods, offering to pay the freight charged

produce tho original bill of lading. He
then asked pay for the goods, but this was
refused. Johnson then commenced a re

APPEAL FOR A LIFE CONVICT
Amlrevr llnnklui, Imprisoned for
Murder nf ,?nnrn, Mokrn KfTort to
Itritnlii III Libert.
LINCOLN, March 13. (Special.) Tho
famous Hawkins murder case Is one more
brought to the nttentlon of the public by
the nttorneys for the defendant, Andrew
Hawkins, appealing to tho supremo court
for a reversal of the decision of the trial
court. Hawkins was found guilty and sen
tenced to Imprisonment for life.
The murder for which he Is being held to
answer was committed In Frontier county In
1808 and the victim, Thomas Jansen. was u
man of considerable means, having n large
nmonpt of money Invested In land In Kan
, Nobraskn. ls supposed that sev-
mpn wcrfl ,0lplpated , ,hc nlfalri ,mt
the authorities were able to convict only the
ono man.
Jansen located nt Indlanola In 1802 and
while In after year? ho did much traveling
he still made his headquarters at that placo.
Some tlmo during the winter of 1S!'S ho dis
appeared. The next summoi hlii relatives,
not having hearl from him for sonic time,
made Inquiries nt Indlanola as to his where
abouts, hut not being able to secure niiy
trace of him thero a general systematic
search was Instituted late In the summer
His body was finally found nt the bottom of
a 130-foot well at tbo edge of Frontier
countv. Thero were mnrks of violence on
the body, which gave support to tho theory
that he had been foully dealt with.
Andrew Hawkins was a farmer who lived
on an adjacent farm and was considered by
all acquaintances an honorahle nnd upright
man, but circumstantial evidence pointed to
his guilt nnd he was arrested on tho charge
of committing the crime. The theory of the
prosecution was that Hawkins went to In
dlanola nnd got Jnnscn to rldo out Into the
country with him nnd while on tho way
murdered him for the purpose of robbery,
nnd nfter committing the deed hauled the
body tn the well for the purpose of conceal
ing the crime.
Hawkins' claims are six In number. First
tho court had no Jurisdiction to try tho
case and had no right to pass a sentence on
tho verdict; second, there was net suftlclont
evidenco to support the verdict and thnt the
Inference to be drawn from tne testimony
Is that It was not committed In Frontier
county at all; third, that the evidenco of A.
ill. Kldd was oil second-hand, mere hearsay
and snouici nave Deen mritKi'ii uum nm
records; fourth, that the Information filed
by tho county attorney was not Riimclent to
glvo tho court Jurisdiction; fifth, thnt there
was nn Improper admission or testimony
over the objections of tho defendant; and
sixth, that the court was guilty of serious
errors In giving and refusing Instructions.
Tho brief of Hawkins' attorneys says:
By a careful examination of the testimony
the court will find that there wos but ono
element or Ingredient of tho Information
proven, namoly, that Thomas Jansen was
found In the bottom of a well In Frontier
county nnd that he had come to his death
by violence. Who did It, where It was dono
and from what motive Is all mere conjec
ture."

Ozojell is like a healing ointment applied to a troublesome and angry
core it Soothes, Relieves, Cures.
The catarrhal discharge is like the pus from a running sore, and
everyone knows that washing a sore is not sufficient to make it heal.
Ozojell, a delicious, pleasant emulsion or elly of great cleansing,
healing, preservative, germicidal properties, when once applied, remains
on the raw membranes and gradually draws out tho matter nnd heals up
the wound by promoting the growth of new, healthy membrane.
Ozojell is put up in a patent Ozojell tube, easily carried in the pocket,
easily applied to the parts as needed, in the office, on the street, without
attracting attention, and with no irritation, trouble or waste of time.
It is sold by all druggists in 50 cent patent Ozojell nasal tubes.
Prepared from the formula of the celebrated Vienna physician, Heir
J. Mtiller, the great specialist in diseases of the ear, throat and noso
(Physician in Ordinary to the Kmpcror of Austria).
Thousands of letters from those who have been cured attest its virtues.
