The Union I'aclflc Railway company has come to tho assistance of Its employes who have been harassed by the garnishment of their wages In Iowa for debts duo In Ne braska and a test will be made of four cases to be tried In Justice Bryant's court next Wednesday. Tho local attorneys for the railway company have been retained to defend tho cases and It Is understood that If the decision of tho justice of tho pcaco Is unfavorable to tno'defendants the cases will be taken to tbo district court nnd, If neces sary, from thcro'to the supreme' court. Tho defendants are Edwin M. Arnold ot Omaba and J, Costcllo, J. A. Taylor and M, Burke of Grand Island, employes of the Union Pacific. The claims against tbcm have been assigned to one J. B. Fulton, said to bo a collector ot what are known as "bad debts." Fulton brought suit In the court of Justice Bryant In this city, gar nlsheelng the Union Pacific, as the defend ants not being residents of this stato are not entitled to exemption as heads of fam ilies. Tlieao suits havo been brought des pite tho fact that a law was passed several years ago In Nebraska making It unlawful for Nebraska creditors to assign claims to persons outside the state for the purposo of avoiding tho Nebraska law on exemp tions. Tho Union I'aclllc for the protec tion of Its employes has determined If pos sible to put a stop to this practice and with this end In view a te3t will be made of these four cases.

Robert Stephenson and Charles Jones, convicted of robbing William Davis while ho lay helpless from Intoxication on the sidewalk at Twenty-first street and Broad way late one night In August, wore sen tenced to three years each In the peniten tiary at Fort Madison by Judge Macy In the district court yesterday afternoon. The length of the sentence was a great surprise to both the young men and they broko down and wept when they heard It. The aged mother of the Stephenson lad gasped out "Oh, ray God!" and her grief was pitiful to witness. She had to bo sup ported from the court room by friends. Before passing sentence Judgo Macy read the young fellows a long and earnest lec turo In which ho took occasion to bitterly denounco the young women who wcro In company with Jones and Stephenson tho night of the robbery. He severely rebuked the young women for their levity of man ner while In the court room. Jones and Stephenson were taken to the penitentiary last evening by Sheriff Cous Ins, with E. E. Belknap as guard. Tho jury In the case of Ed Thyuescn. charged with breaking Into and robbing 1.10yd s grocery storo, after being out since Thursday aflcrnoon brought In a verdict yesterday morning at 10, o'clock of acquit tal. Thygesen was very nervous while waiting for the announcement of tho ver dict and beads of perspiration stood out on his forehead. Ho gave a big sigh of re lief when ho heard tho verdict was one of acquittal. He was at once released from custody. Bert Owens, who was Indicted on the same charge, pleaded guilty and Is serving a thirty-day sentence. His evidence was the principal testimony fjr the Stato against Thygesen. The case against Attorney Fremont Ben jamin, Indicted on tho charge of extortion In connection with his Injunction proceed ings against Charles Blorwlth, has been continued to next term at the request of Benjamin, one of whose witnesses Is at present In West Virginia.

LONDON, Oct. lfl. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Tho per sistently bad news from South Africa con tinues to excite tho keenest fears in Great Britain. Botha, tho Boer commander, has again outwitted several' British columns, and Is In an entrenched position where they dare not nttack him. The successful Boer raid Into tho richest districts of Capo Colony within sixty miles of Capetown painfully Illustrates the helplessness of the British army. The reports published in oven the Jingo papers declare that the soldiers are ut terly worn out by the Inceasant Boer movements and attacks and that universal discontent prevails. Desertions Into Rhodesia are becoming numerous. Re cently two squadrons ot a lancers regiment disappeared In this way. The attempt of the War office to re enlist the discharged Imperial yeomen re sulted In about 200 roturnlng. Sevonty flvo per cent of them did so to avoid star vation through non-receipt ot pay for their former service In South Africa. Fifty ot these yeomen deserted yesterday when paraded to embark for Capetown. War Secretary Brod,crlck has Importuned King Edward to Issue a special appeal to tho nation to provide 30,000 mounted volun teers, to enable Lord Kitchener to end the war. According to a well authenticated report In the military clubs, the ktng declined to tako this responsibility, though the war minister Informed him that his military advisers were convinced that It Is the sole chance of raising the men except by some form of compulsion. The king said fur therm'oro that be was much angered at this attempt to push him Into an unconsti tutional position. The truth Is, the ministers having used "Bobs" to protect themselves In the early stages ot tho war, want to take' cover be hind the king in tho present desperate emergency, FLOGS CHILDREN ON BARE SKIN Prince Henry of Hruas Pardons Of fenders After He Has liaised Welts on Flesh.

THEY W0NDERJFDEWET LIVES He is Reported Dead and the llrltlsb Find Corroboration in Ills Inactivity DURBAN, Natal, Oct. 19. General De wet's recent Inactivity has produced the Impression among military men that ho Is cither dead or Incapacitated through Ill ness or wounds. According to a letter from Pretoria a prominent Boer recently wrote to a friend there relating the terrlblo hard ships suffered by tho Boers In tho field, especially from n lack of surgeons. "Dowot, for example," wrote this Boor, "suffered the most terrible agony before he died. Ho wns wounded 111 the shoulder by a splinter from a shell and the wound gan grened In consequence of it being dressed with dirty rags." Five Boers captured at different places recently said Dowel was dead, but gavo a different version of his death. Against these reports Is a statement of Plot de VII Ilcrs, the field cornet recently taken pris oner In the northeastern part ot Orange River Colony, who said that on tho morn ing of his capture he took breakfast with General Dowot. , 8T.
