Thf hcnrinR In tho Injunction proceeding whorcin Superintendent Uns of the Insti tute for Kcoblo Minded setWi to rffitrnln Governor I'oyntcr from rornnvlng Iilm from ofllr,. wan hold before Judnc I.ctton this forenoon. Governor I'nynlvr nnd a number of witnesses from I.lmoln for tho dofetiso were present, as was the plaintiff, Ur. I.nnK. Tho rourt room wus fairly well filled with prominent politicians and much Interest vmik taken In the proceedlnpti. JudRe KretMni?er, attorney for the plain tiff, opened tho ease. Ho held that tho plaintiff had never been relieved from the. position of superintendent of tho Institute. That no local notice of such removal had been furnlHhetl him, but on tho other hand ho held tho commission of tho governor of Nebraska aplolntlng him to that office for two years, beginning June C, ISS'J. Ur. Lang was called und sworn. Oeorge A. Murphy. attorney for the defendant, Interpa-icd and Rtated that tho defense docs not admit that Dr. hang Is a qualified physician. Or. Lang stated that he had lived In Ne braska Hlxtcen yoars and that ho has prac ticed medlclno In tho state for fourteen years. He is a graduate of Tulte Medical college, Cincinnati, O., and holds a diploma of graduation from that Inntttute. Tho diploma wnpi offered In evidence. He hns complied with tho laws of this state regard ing tho practice of mwllclne. Ills diploma Is registered with the county clerk rf York county, NcbrnHka. Ho has not practiced medlclno during tho past year elsewhere t'jan at the Institute for tho Feeble Minded In thin city, to which place ho was ap pointed a superlntemlcnt May 15, 18!, and a later commission given him dated June fi, 1899. Ho took possession of the In stitute Juno 16, ISO!', and his commltnlon ninn for two yearn. He had not been re moved from olllco of superintendent for cause. The first Intimation ho had of his removal was on 'May 1", 11)00. His first knowledgo was obtained In an artlclo In a newspaper. When Ilenrlnn Called nil 111 tit. Dr. Dearlng called upon him about this tim stating that he had a talk with tho governor regarding his taking ehargc of the Institution. This conversation between Dr. Dearlng and tho governor was, witness learned, about March 25, 1000. The- conver sation between wltnc and Dr. Dearlng was In May of the present year, after the reports of Dr. Lang's removal had been published. Thin was on Tuesday, before witness had liiadu application for an Injunction. On May 15 Mr. Stewart camo out to tho Insti tute; with one- McKnteo. They had a letter with them purporting to bo from tho gov ernor, which they read to wltnetH at that tlmo on tht porch of the Institute. Tho let ter stated that Stowart was appolnti-d stew ard of tho Institute, and hat ho was author ized to Uiko chargo of tho Institute until thu arrival of Dr. Dearlng, who had been appointed tiuperlntendcnt to rollevo Dr. Iing. Witness told them ho could not roc ognlzo thorn In that capacity, as he was still holding a commission from tho governor making him superintendent, and that he could not surrender until he had moro defi nite authority from tho governor, which as yot ho had not received. Witness 'told them good-naturedly that If they wero better men than him that they might take possession. They talked along this lino pleasantly for some llttloi time. Un to this tlmo witness had not seen nor heard anything about his removal except from tho newspaper reports. On cross-examination the witness nnld he had not filed his certificate as a physician In this county, as he did not consider lie atrlco his home. He had not practiced medl clno or prescribed, except In a general way In the line of his duty an superintendent at tho Instltuto. Ho said he understood that It wis not lawfully required that a certificate should bn filed In thin county, when ho had already filed ono authorizing him to prac tice medicine In this state. During redirect examination Lang stated that ho had heard from people In Lincoln that Governor I'oyntcr was scheming with his office men to remove him from the olfU'p of superintendent and that Dr. Dearlng was to havo tho place. He said hln Informants wero Hon. J. II. Mrsservo and Secretary of State I'orter. These gentlemen had both told wltnrts that the governor was deter mined to remove him. This conversation took place In tho office of the secretary of state at Lincoln on March 23. Lang said that Mr. Porter told Mm that It had leaked out from Mr. McEnteo and Mr. Jewell, clerks In tho governor's olllce, that It was tho Intention to remove him. Utng did not believe this at tho tlmo, because of tho positive arsurances ho had from the gov ernor. (invcriior on Stnuil. Oovernor W. A. Poyntcr wan the next wit ness called and sworn. Judge Letton asked that tho answer of Oovernor I'oyntcr ns ono of tho defendants to this caso, and which samo had been filed, bo read. Attorney Murphy read tho answer In full. Mr. Kreslnger, attorney for Dr. Lang then read, at tho request of Judgo Letton, Dr. Utng's answer to tho governor's answer, This answer denies every allegation made by tho governor, and cites tho finding of Gov emor I'oyntcr vindicating the plaintiff from all tho charges Hied against him by Steward MllllUen In tho Investigation held before tho governor In March last. Ho admits that lie did, on the 27th of March, 1900, sign a certain resignation, with the clear under standing that said resignation would not bo published or acted upon. Tho examination of tho governor then proceeded. Ho said In substance that tho charges against Dr. Lang wero filed with him. and that ho had held a hearing on the charges. Dr. Lang appeared In person LAME BACK, ACHING JOINTS, LOSS OF APPETITE, all mean RHEUMATISM. Why suffer when there is an abso lutely reliable remedy ('r this painful disease? l'coplc whose tucupation exposes them to cold and wet think there is no help for them, ami go on suffering for years with inllnmcd joints, aching back and soreness all over the body.

About two days were con sumed In the Investigation. The governor then recognized the two documents as oh'.wn him as bis findings In the case the original and supplemental findings. The original was dated March 23 and tho cup plemental March 30. These wore the orig inal findings made on the original charges. Attorney Murphy read the findings known n the nuppUmentary findings, wherein Dr. Lang Is charged l'h Inc. ting trl:c and tur moil In fie Institute, and orders his re moval. Thteo i.re dated March 30. It states further that at the dee of the Instigation both the superintendent and steward ten dered their resignations and that he thought It best that both thould bo ac cepted, and he did accept them both. Tho governor continued that tils findings were made two or three days after tho In vestigation. The findings of the suplemental decision were made two or three days after tho original findings, and after Dr. Lang camo up anl asked him what the flnllngs were to be. Oovernor I'oyntcr said Dr. Lang seemed to bo very much aggrieved, but It was apparent to him that he roul 1 not get along at the Institute and It seemed evident that he had lost control of tho In stitution and that constant turmoil pre vailed, there which he was unable to check or control. Aliniit l.llimS ltfnl:;tuitlfiii. "At tho time of his visit to my olTlce," said the governor, "I took up a piece of paper lying on the table and wrote out his resignation, but tnado no definite date when It should be operative. He wished me to make the date June I. I told him trnt It would not do, as the conditions at tho Institute were su.-h that matters were very annoying and becoming Intolerable and that I would give him until May 15. The doctor seemed very grateful for this and sail to me. 'Governor, when tho tlmo comes around for me to get out you will not find me another Spraguc. I will surrender with out a protest and will show my successor around the Institute and give him all the assistance I can.' Yes, the resignation was accepted Immediately. I understand, Mr. Kretslnger, what you would llko to havo me say. My language may not be as gram matical as yours, for you aro a lawyer and I am but a plain farmer and am nit quite up on technical answers, and must bo al lowed to answer In my own language. No conditions whatever wero attached to Dr. Lang's resignation. I told hltn that Stew nml MIMIken had already resigned. This resignation was received by me March 21 or 25. Tho resignation of Dr. Lang has been on fllo In my rlllce ever since It was given to me. Tho findings I made havo been on file In my olllco ever slnco they wore raado and were In full force and effect from that tlmo to tho present. Dr. Hearing's appointment and delivery of bond and oath have been filed with mo and havo been approved. They were filed prior to May 15. I have made no attempt whatever to take forcible possession of the institution. "I did not publish tho resignation myself. Tho newspapers did that. The reporters came to my ofllco for news and Information and they copied tho resignation thcro." This ended the governor's testimony. Dr. W. H. Hearing of Lincoln was called and sworn. He stated that ho was one of the defendants In this case and was the ap pointee of Oovernor I'oynter ns superintend ent of the Institute for feeble minded. He was first at the Institution on Wednesday, May 0. Ho had no commission at the time. He did not make any attempt to tako for cible possession of the Institution. Ho said ho did not know that Mr. McEntee and Mr. Stewart came down to tako possession of tho Institute for him. Ho bad nothing to do with their coming down from Lincoln. Court then adjourned to 1:30 p. m. Deelalnn I'nviim DefeiulnntB. Testimony In the Lang against Poynter caso was concluded this evening. Poyntor wns called In rebuttnl, as was also Lang. Doth positively and emphatically denied statements mude by the other regarding tho resignation of Inng. Judgo Letton In sum ming up said that the people of tho state wero getting completely tired of these an nual wrangles at the Inftltute for Feeble Minded and the constant washing of dirty political linen. He would bo compelled to decide from tho evidence In favor of ths defendant, as It appeared that Lang had tendered his resignation, even though with a string to It, and having made his bed ho must He In It. Tho Injunction wns dis solved. The plaintiff filed a motion for su persedeas bond. The court granted the ap plication and fixed a bond of $500. This continues Inng In possession until a hear ing Is had In tho supremo court. POPS TURN DOWN POYNTER Delegation In County Cult r lit Inn Threaten to l.eme If (inventor In Invited.

DEMOCRATS BOUND TO HAVE THE PLACE , I'npuIlM Lender t iniiliilti tluit UN Cutir,. hi Ciumri'M mill "here Hum Itrrii 'Inn Ciiii erntlr for I'ttrtr. LINCOLN', May 25. (Special ) It Is the general opinion of politicians here that tho ncmlnntlon of O. V. Iierge. a populist, as the fusion candidate ji-iiut dlnrlet hiM put an end to the nsplt.i- i-iis oi i ongressman Sutherland toward a third term from tho Fifth district. The democrats have been very insistent in regard to the equal division of thcfio plaeta between their rnrty and the ticpullstu and Mr. Ilerge's nomination gives the latter their share, three districts. In the Klrst. l-'ntirth mui yiviv, .n. ..,. . lists aro nn.v conceded nominations. So the uemocntia will insist on the naming of their mnn, A. ('. Shallenbargor, In the Fifth dis trict in place of Sutherland. Kven so the democrats will be none too well satlnlled. True, they will have the stipulated three, but It Is conceded that there Is no hope lor tho n mlnee In the Second district, as that Is admittedly strongly re publican. This feeling In Increased 'by the further fact that of the four fuslonlsts now In congress from this state but ono is a democrat. That one Is Mr. Urbinson of the Third district. In regard to Mr. Herges nomination and Mr. Sutherland's consequent P'-sltlon a prominent populist said tid.iy. "Ilerge's nomination kills Sutherland; that Is pretty certain. We have been hnvlng rather a gcod thing of It In the matter of congressmen, nnyhnw, with our three ftwlmi members out of four In the lower houv. It la only fair that the democratic should have their man In the Fifth. Sutherland has been a fairly good man, although he lacks energy. For this reason ho has not made any great reputation. He Is not sulllclently positive. If he ha convlctlotiK he does not naairt them very Htrenuuusly. Partially fcr this rca.1011 he is not In touch with the leaders cf bin own party In that d!ntrlct and the populists themselves will be apt to turn him down, especially as they now have a good excuse for doing It. "Senator Allen told us at Sioux Falls that he and Sutherland had come back from Washington to advise us how to vote In order to benefit the cause mrnt materially. Allen stood by hl ideas, but Sutherland, after traveling that distance to tell uh what to do, went lltt to a leader from hln own district and sounded him before ho took a stand."
