ilous trouble In ridding the State Instltutj

I). K. l.ang, notwithstanding tho fact that '
tho latter hf eitabllthcd a picket line j

any friend of the governor to enter. The
doors and windows of the Institution are
not only locked, but arc kept carefully
guarded by Dr. Dang and It Is reported hero
that a state of martlil law cxlBta on tho
ground,
Tho order Issued by Judge Stull restrain- J
armmlng or Interfering with the duties of
Dr. Lang as superintendent of the institute
was, It Is asserted, secured bj trickery.
Judge Stull this morning Informed Governor
Poyntcr that he had no Idea when he? Istucil
the order that Iing had resigned hi por
tion. Tho application for the Injunction was
filed with the cltrk of the court several
days ago and was upprcsscd"from publica
tion until Monday evening, after the order
whs granted.
Dr. W. II. Dccrlns went to fleatrlcc this
morning and Governor Poyntcr announced
that he would appear In court if nccejsary
and answer the Injunction. A copy of this
document has been received by the goicrnor
and when compared with Dr. Lang's rctlg
ration It forms most Interesting reading. In
his application for tho order l.ing asserted
that he whs the only legally authorized
superintendent anil that any attempt on
thn part of tho governor to Interfere with
his duties would seriously damage tho Inter
ests of thn Institution, lie assorted that
the governor had been seeking to romovn
him from office, hut that ho hud hecn unsuc
cessful In his attempt.
CJovernor Poyntcr today denied that ho

charges that had been made against him.
at the conclusion of which Lang voluntarily
tendered his resignation, -which w.n
promptly accepted In writing. In the find

of tho welfaro of tho Institute.

the sun on May 2$ from a point near Atlanta,
Oa. They will go armed with tho necessary
instruments for making observations and
will probably Join a party of scientists either
nt Atlanta or the point of obfervatlon. Tho
total ccllrse of the sun may bo seen from
only a very small territory and will last
only a few minutes.
"A partial eclipse of the sun may be seen
In Nebraska," said Prof. Stebbina, "but the
total eclipse will he visible only from point
In a narrow terr'tnry running northeast
through the southern states. In Nebraska
tho eclipse will be vislhlo about 8 a. m.
The moon will work gradually In between
the sun and the earth and the sun will
take on the appearance of a crescent."
Scientists all over the country are making
extensive preparations for viewing the
eclipse and thousands of dollars will be
pent In- securing photographs .rand- other
Information concerning It. Should there
happen to be any clouds between the earth
and the sun while the moon Is passing
between the two tho eclipse of course will

The annual battalion encampment Is nn
event dear to the heart of every cadet In
tho university, for, although the strictest
discipline Is maintained, they usually find
opportunity to celebrate the npproachlng end
of the school year. The pleasure of the last
annual encampment was marred consider

nevertheless tho "10 o'clock and all's wot"
call of tho guard did not dampen the splrit3

CHICAGO, May 16. Friends of President
McKlnlcy In the temperance committee of
tho conference, who made a lojlng fight
agatnet tho adoption of the leading para
graphs In the report which criticise tho
president and censure him for his accoptanco
of tho Urlgga decision in the anti-canteen
law, will tako the fight to the floor of the
conference In the form of a minority re
port, substituting other paragraphs for the
objectionable sentiments.
Dr. J. 13. Price of the New York confer
ence, who submitted a minority report from
the subcommittee, will present the matter
to the conference tomorrow. It will bo
signed by overa score of the members of
the committee 'and will have strong sup
port In the conference.
Tho majority report of the subcommittee
on all matters before It, Including thu criti
cism of the president, was adopted by tbo
general committee today after a long fight
on several paragraphs, which referred to the'
attitude of tho church on the license ques
tion. The report endorses total abstinence
on tho part of tho members and ministers of
tho church, and fraternity with other socie
ties nnd organization in the came of tem
perance. In regard to the liquor traffic, It endorsed
tho sentiment of tho episcopal address that
"It can ncvor bo legalized without sin" and ,
declared that licensing It legalizes It. In 1
contrast to tho condemnation of the presl- j
dent on the nntl-contcen matter, was an
eulogy of Secretary Long for banishing
liquor from tho American naval shlrM and
yards. Among tho recommendations mado
by tho report Is the following: I
"Ministers nnd members of our charge
should not become nor remain a member (
of social clubs which keep a bar or provide
Intoxicating liquors for the use of their
members and others."
Delegato William O. Q'Dcll of the Oregon
conference Introduced a substitute report to
tho effect that tho energies of the church
should he bent only to th6 salvation of
souls. It was voted down.
For Two More Mlsslonnry Wlioi.
Two additional missionary bishops, -with
authority equal thrso already in tho field,
will be elected by the general conference to
assist Bishop Thoburn in southern Asia, If
tho recommendation of tho committee on
episcopacy In adopted. Tho report of tho
committee will be presented to tho confer
ence tomorrow by Rev. T. I). Neely. Dr. J.
M. Buckley, chairman of the committee,
objects to that provision of the recommen
dation which makes nil the missionary
bishops co-ordinate In authority on consti
tutional grounds, and gavo notice that ho
would present a minority report.
Bishop Wnldcn appeared before tho com
mittee on episcopacy to answer charges
brought by tho Wisconsin conference that
ho had exceeded hla authortlty two years ago
when ho denied preachers the right to sub
mit a petition In favor of a candidate. A
majority of tho ministers of tho Milwaukee
district signed a petition asking the
appointment of Dr. J. S. Lee as presiding
elder, but Bishop Walden refused peremp
torily to receive the petition nnd later
appointed another man to the position. This
aroused the anger of tho minister nnd they
preferred charges against Bishop Walden In
the general conference. Dr. George H.
Trever presented the case of the ministers to
tho committee. He declared that Bishop
Walden had violated all precedents and
grervdy Insulted them by denying tbem the
right to petition, In defense of his action.
Bishop Walden called attention to the fact
that there la nothing In the law of tho
church which grants ministers the right to
petition.
After considerable discission the subject
was referred to a special committee com,
podo.l of J. C. W. Cexe. T. H. Murray, Dr.
T. B. Neely, L. M. Shaw nnd Dr. S. F.
Whltlock. A memorial authorizing bishops
to unlto churche3 at annual conference so

YORK, Ncb May 16.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Tho report of tbo analysis of tho
stomach of Charles W, Frost, made by the
Omaha chemist, was a surprlsei to thei coro
ner's Jury and to tho public here, who be
lieved that strychnine would be found In the
stomach. The city and county attorneys
brought with them yesterday from Omaha
tho report and would not give to tho
public any Information. AftiT adjournment
of tho coroner's Jury yesterday It leaked
out that the chemist had discovered a trace
of phosphorus nnd aconite, but had not
finished tho analysis, and did not know- In
what quantities or whether enough to pro
duce fatal results.
Tho Jury, owing to this report, was un
able to agree upon the verdict that Charles
Frost died from poison and that his wife,
Mrs. Frost, gave It to him. From yester
day's hcsolon it adjourned until after
supper lust evening nnd was In resslon un
til midnight nnd, unable to agree, ad
journed until this evening. It Is doing
everything possible to prevent any Informa
tion of Its deliberations getting to the
public and It In very dlfllcull matter to
get nt the true analsis.
It was reported at tho first trial that Mrs.
Frost had purchaicd aconite anil rat cheese.
Phosphorus is said to be the principal In
gredient of rat cheeue. Mrs. Frost on the
stand told that sho purchased tho rat choose
for another party. Tho Jury made the pub
lic believe the analysis would show strych
nine, as the attending physician's tcitlmony
was that tho denth of Mr. Frost had all the
bymptoms of strychnine poisoning.
The Jury Is composed of York's leading
successful business men and at tonight's
session recommended that Mrs. Frost be re
leased, and if further analysis by the chem
ist does not disclose nconlto and phosphorus
In large quantities, nothing more will be
done. Mrs. Frost, during her confinement
here, has been treated as an Invalid guest of
the Jailor's family, who resldo In rooms un
dcrnoath, tho court house. At times sho has
been sleeping with Mrs. Bickel and has ate
lier meals with tho family. The. corouer'fi
Jury had a difficult problem to solve, and
rather than cause Mrs. Frost an Injustice
It ordered dismissal, which may close tho
last chapter of York's sensation.
