NIEGINFIND EXECUTION tate Declines to Adranre Monrr to City ( Maeoln to Iny for far ina si street iirire Hons. (From a Btalt Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June . (Bpoclal.) President Rector of the American Accident asso clation, formerly the Woodman Accident asportation, accompanied by Attorney Aleck, was here this morning from Omaha to discuss with Auditor Weston and Insurance Deputy Tierce the auit now pending against the company In Douglas county. The men wanted to know If they could not resume business by a reorganlza tlon of the company by the Infusion of new blood and one thing and another. They wera told to get Into court and there tell their trouble. Mr. Pierce said the company had been doing business without a license from the state, . and that Its organization and lta methods were both wrong. He Bald the company was composed of two dlrectora and a president and one of the dlrectora was the president. He said that so far as he could learn no record or minutes were kept of the meetings of the board of directors, and many other little details had been lost sight of by the company. As to the company's methods Mr. Pierce said he had several communications In Ms office where parties who carried In surance alleged they had not been paid according to the contract In the policy. Pay Bill for EiclloB. The bill for the execution of Gottlieb KlAginfind has Anally been allowed by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings. The total bill allowed was for J233.80. Of this George Btryker of Omaha received 153.80, of which $10 went for the rope; Douglas county gets S60 for the scaffold, and Jlf.0 goes "to allowance as per order of the board." This sum la supposed to go to Warden Beemer, because he was warden at the time of the execution, and with which to pay the Incidental expenses of the ex ecution. The bill was given to the board some time ago for $300, but as only the 103 was Itemised It was returned to the warden. Reqarat Is Turned Down. The mayor and the city council of Lin coln, armed with much assurance and lots of "-nerve, called upon the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings this afternoon with a request and were turned down. The request was that the state advance to the city sufficient money to pay for pav ln tha street Intersections around the capitol. The city, the officials said, did not have any available cash, but would have next fall, when It sold Its pumpkins and it would then repay the state. The legislature appropriated money to pay for the paving to be done by the state, but the board did not feel Justified In helping out tha cUy. , T)aplloate Inspection Reports. Bute Oil Inspector Church has Just mailed to his deputies a report book cov ering a period of about eighty months. The deputy will fill out two of the reports each month, keep one himself and send one to the main office. In this way Mr. Church expects to simplify the bookkeeping and at theama Hwshs. duplicate reports will be a protection o the chief as well as to the deputies if anything ever comes up that makes It necessary to show records. Adjutant General Culver tonight will go to York, tomorrow to Aurora and Saturday to Weat Point to Inspect the companies of the national guard stationed towns. The companies he has Inspected he'reporta as coming up to his highest ex pectations and he Is gratified at the show lnt? made. W. T.

The Knights of the Maccabees of the World are mulcted by the supremo court In their appeal against a Judgment of the Hall county district court, holding that they should pay the policy heH by Lpule Nltsch upon the life of her miiband, August C. Nltsch. The latter committed suicide In 19)7, and the company tetused to pay on the i;ound that thire was a by-law of the c.nipany to the eftct that suicide, while ."me or Insane, v'tlated the police. When Nltsch Joined in 1S32 there was no siith provijn "n tho policy. Sev eral amendments had been made, but these all provided for a period less than the time Nltsch had been a member. Finally the prohibitive one was adopted. It ap peared from the evidence, however, that no copy of this bylaw had been filed with the state auditor, and thla omission loses the case to the order. Bandar Ball Misdemeanor. The playing of base ball on Sunday in the state of Nebraska Is a misdemeanor punishable by fine and Imprisonment. Bo holds the supreme court In a case brought before It from Nebraska City, whe.-e Bun day, ball playing became offensive to the law and order league and arrests of play ers followed. In the case of the State against O'Rourk. decided twelve years ago, the same hold ing waa made by the court, but In thla case It was hoped to secure a reopening of and a reversal of thla opinion. No where In tho statutes is the playing of base ball on Sunday specifically inhibited, but the court holda that the prohibition of sporting Includes base ball. Attorney Manahan for the Fltigerald estate effecta a saving of $33,000 for his client by the court's decision In the suit of Mallory against Fitzgerald. This is a suit wherein S. H. Mallory, the Iowa railroad contractor, sought to recover upon five promissory notes given in 1888 by the late John Fitzgerald in a settlement be tween him and Mallory aa associate con tractors. The notes on their face were due in five years, but Mallory claimed that they were not to be presented for payment until Fitzgerald realised upon a Judgment secured by him against the Missouri Paclflo Railway company for nearly $300,000. The effect of such an agreement would be to defeat the statute of limitations. The amount due on the notes to date would be about $33,000. The court found In favor of tha defendant holding that where a note Is negotiable In form and by its terms payable on demand, evidence of a contemporaneous oral agree ment destroying Its negotiability, and making the time of payment contingent on the happening of an uncertain event Is in' admlssable. Where evidence of such agree ment is received over the objection of the party against whom it Is offered, the court may disregard it In determining whether a verdict should be directed against the party offering It. Weitera Union Wins. An ordinance enacted by the city council of the town of Wakefield, whereby It waa sought to levy an occupation tax upon the Western Union Telegraph company Is knocked galley west by the court. The company resisted payment on the ground that the ordinance was void because It sought to Impose a tax on Interstate com merce and on a post road of the United Btates. the company's wires being used to tranamtt government messages from one government station to another. In the lower court the finding was In favor of the town, but the supreme court says that the ordinance to be valid must bs restricted so as not to Include any Interstate bualnesa of the government of the United States tranaacted by such company. Conaty is Jfot Responsible. The county of Dodge is relieved from re sponsibility for the board of smallpox pa tients kept under quarantine In their lodg Ing house. Tho point la one of considerable Interest. Herman Dters was running a boarding house whereat lodged a gang of railroad construction men. smallpox broke out among them, and the whole lot was quar antined. They refused to pay board, and aa Dlers could not fire them out without violating the quarantine law he kept them and sued ths county to recover for theii keep.

It must be shown that they are paupers or that thorn primarily liable for their menls are unable to respond. The mere fact that they are quarantined for the safety of the public does not relieve those who are able to supply themselves with food from the duty of doing so. It was claimed that they were virtually pris oners and as such were entitled to their keep, but the court says this Is not pri marily true. Under the old common law a prisoner, If able to do so, must supply himself, and the duty of doing this is an Imposition of the statute only, and this statute is applicable only to the cases that come within its purview. Thla Is not one of them. Strikes Oil la Well. YORK, Neb.. June 4. (Special.) For sometime it has been generally known that coal oil underlaid York county and yester day well diggers at a depth of 1B0 feet on the farm of Mr. Brendhoeffer. near Waco, struck oil in such quantities that It was Impossible to use the water from the well.

Along the three streams of water travers ing York county are places where coal oil noses out of the banks and covers the surface of the water for a number of yards.

YOUNG WOMAN PERISHES WITH HIM Are Bapposed to Have Fallen Oat of Rowbont In Attempting to Board n Lagoon Craft. CHICAGO, June 4. Jesse Miller and a young woman, aa yet unidentified, but be lieved to have been a student at the Uni versity of Chicago, were drowned In the lagoon at Jackson park today. In a memorandum book In the clothing of the dead man was the following: "If any thing happens to me notify Ira Miller or Sophia Casse, 1636 M street, Lincoln, Neo." Later Information developed the fact that Miller was a student In the school of med icine cf the University of Chicago. The drowning Is now supposed to have been the result of an accident. Early In the morning the two secured a row boat and started out on a tour of exploration with the world's fair caravels which are anchored In the lake. Later the bodies were found at the side of Pinto, one of the three ships, and It ta supposed the row boat capsixed while the young people were attempting to board the larger vessel. Two letters were found In the clothing of the young man. one of which was from Sherman Miller of Lafayette, Ind., and the other was a "home" letter from his brother Ira at Lincoln. The young woman, it was thought at first, was Grace Miller, a sister of the young man, but later it was learned that Grace Miller with a woman of her acquaintance, had left Chicago several days ago for an outing In Michigan. It ta now supposed that the young woman was also a student at the university. The initials "F. E. M." were found on linen worn by Miller's companion. The young woman who was drowned with Jesse Miller was Identified late this after noon as Miss Frances E. Moore of Daven port, la. Miss Moore was In her first year at the university and was taking the liter ary course. She waa also said to have been a member of a dramatic school down town. Her body was identified by Miss Helen Baldwin, her room mate. NAMES OHIO TICKET (Continued from First Page.) gress has honored the state In both houses. Senators Joseph B. Foraker and Marcus A.

The improvement In our relations with the Philippine islands la attested by the re duction of our army to the lowest legal limit. Education and enlightenment under broad-minded administrative policy are gradually obviating the neceasity for con trol through military power, and we com mend the rapid and steady progress made In the preparation of the propositions for the fullest degree of self-government. In this connection we voice the grateful acknowledgement of the nation for the splendid service in the Philippines of that distinguished son of Ohio, Governor Gen eral William H. Taft. Under Presidenta McKinley and Roose velt our foreign policy of equity to all has made the United States the peacemaker of the world, guarding weaker natlona from aggression and giving the Monroe doctrine a vital force greater than ever before. Aa America's part In preserving the peace of the world, wc Indorse the republican policy of development of the United States navy to the highest efficiency and we will give every encouragement possible to our merchant marine in the extenaion of Amer ican commerce in American ahlpa upon every sea. Protective Tariff Policy. The protective tariff policy of the re publican party haa made the United Utates the greatest Industrial nation; astoniBned the world with the tremendous development of our boundless resources; added vastly to our foreign commerce; greatly Increased the prosperity or tne farmer, and has ad vanced American labor to the beat scale of living ever attained. We oppose all attacks upon this policy, whatever the pretext, aa tending to bring, hack the disastrous days of democratic tariff revision and free trade. Changing conditlona and the possible bene fits of reciprocity may call for tinie.y read justment of schedules, but protection as a rniK'lila and as a policy must be adminis ered by tha friends of American prosperity and must not be sacrificed Combinations for the monopoly of trade and kindred unlawful purposes ars directly amenable to penaltiea provided by repub lican legislation and their vlgoroua enforce ment in the courts. No worthy Interest is imperiled, but whatever will work public harm is restrained, and that without resort to the democratic plan of deattuying all American industries through tariff revision or otherwise. It further legislation should be found neceaary the republican party can be de penoed upon to enact and enforce It with equity and safety in evsry legitimate inter est. The republican party, having restored tha national credit after It waa nearly de strued by the democratic party and hav ing maintained, defended and advanced It to the highest In the world, with every dollar of full value, and having given to the people the only banking system that operates uniformly everywhere without loss . 4 r.-rr rost. ahonld now endeavor within saf s Unas to stimulate loeal aaaa circula tion, thus securing an elasticity of cur rency supply commensurate with with busi ness demands, end we favor well guarded legislation to thla end. Bqaal Blasts of All. Ohio waa the first stats with soil forever free from the stain of slavery. It was first to preserve the "In-leatructlble union of Btates" and adheres firmly to every amend ment which that war wrote Into our conn try'a constitution as binding In honor upon every American cltlsen. 1 nerefore, we hold fast to the doctrine of equity everywhere In the exercise of the elective franchise, maintaining that Justice requires any state excluding any of Its citizens from the ballot to be propor tionately reouceo in its representation in the electoral collecre and tha lower bouse of the national congress. rtom Its earliest day ths republican party has sccompllshed great results In the state and nation, and without resting upon Its laurels has continually pressed forward to new duties. Unremittingly It seeks to es tablish whatever is safe and wise and truly progressive, and in furtherance of its great and patriotic purposes. It Invlies most cor dially the co operation and support of all who sincerely desire to promote our coun try's highest welfare. Herrlck's Thanks. The nominating of Myron T. Herrick for governor was almost spectacular In lta en thusiasm, the motion of Albert Douglas of Chlllicothe that It be by acclamation start ing a thunder of applause that laated until the gentleman had been escorted to the hall and platform. In thanking tha con vention fur the honor, he said: I have have earnestly aought for some form of expression which would adequately convey to you my grateful appreciation for this most signs, nonor for tnls distinction which haa u:nlfled me so fur beyond my deserts And now, at this supremo mo ment, I stand before you overwhelmed with gratitude and embarrassment, and only the homely words, "1 thank you," straight from my heart, come to my Hps. If it is permitted me to discharge the dutlea of the high office I shall ask no more distinction than that at the end of my term I may receive the approbation of my fel low cltiiena and to feel that 1 have at least endeavored to follow the example of my Illustrious predecessors. Now, as for forty years, since the begin ning of the republican era 4n Ohio, the country has looked to It for guidance and example. The Ohio idea has been para mount, not only in the councils of the re publican party, but In the nation Itself, while the republican party and Its princi ples have become practically the Incarna tion of the country. We favor the extreme In nothing. We are for no fads or Isms, no matter whence they come or by whom they are championed. Republican nonsense is as dangerous to the body politic as any other kind. Untried and untested theories of government or con duct should find no place in our category of principles. We have little to fear from the coming conflict, for our party's record has thrice armed us with a quarrel that Is Just and we will carry the war Into the enemy's country this fall with all the energy and zeal of the ancient crusades, and the plat form of principles and pledgee here adopted assure the future RESURVEYINGTHE RESERVES Land Not Timbered Likely to Be Set Outside the Boundary Line. CHEYENNE. Wyo., June 4.-(Speclal.) Hon. W. A. Richards, commissioner of the general land office, left today for his ranch at Red Bank, in the Big Horn country, where he will visit for a few days and then return to the southern part of the state and Colorado, where he will remain for some time for the benefit of his health. While in the west Commissioner Richards will personally Investigate the forest re serve question that he will understand the true condition of affairs and be better pre pared to treat the numerous protests that are filed with his office from time to time. Mr. Richards has already taken action look ing to the revision of the boundary lines of the several forest reserves, where there has been considerable complaint from the stock growers. Special Agent Barrett of the general land office, with a large 'force of surveyors, is now resurveVIng the "boundaries of the Yel lowstone forest reserve In this state, the new lines excluding in many places large tracts of nontlmbered lands. The blanket character of the reserves seem to be the chief cause for complaint from the stock Interests, but the new surveys will prob ably remove these objections. Agent Bar rett will establish the new boundaries as he goes along, and as soon as he has fin ished the work with the Yellowstone re serve, a proclamation will doubtless be Issued which will define the sew lines as permanent boundaries and will also restore to entry and grazing a great deal of land now embraced within the reserves. Agent Barrett, or some other special agent, will probably resurvey the boun daries of the Big Horn and Medicine Bow reserves during the present year.

Though the artillery ceased firing during part of the night, the Turkish Infantry fired all night long. The artillery bombardment was resumed at daybreak, but as It was inef fective tho Turks set fire to the village on all sides and commenced a general massa cre, slaughtering women, children and tho Aged.
