LINCOLN, Nov. (Special.) The at
tacking party In the revenue law cafe now
before ths supreme court has bejn rein
fore.d by John L. Webster, st the Instance
of the On.ahi 8t et R:.! way c.:mi.uiy,
and T. J. Manoney at the request of lha
buslnesa men of Omaha. As jei, however,
neither thee two m n nor tho other at
torneys f.r t'.ie ienor.de its l.j Un cii)
have filed a brief. Attorney General Trout
stated lant night that aa he had ,lwn so
busy with other matters It waa probable
that he would' not Hie a br.ef1, as ths time
of the hea Ing was so near.
Because of this It Is the belief now that
the caae will be pasted over at Ihlj ttlng
of the court to allow the attorneys for the
respondents more time In which to prcpsrj
for the Uatie. Should Mahoney and Web'
ster get their briefs filed by Tuesday, the
day Net for the hearing. It would not give
Senator Fembcrton, C..C. Wright or Attor
ney General Prout, who are defending the
law, any t.me whatever to ltok tip svjthorl-
ties or rebut the argument. For this nation
It Is almost a safe prediction to say that
the caso will be paused over. This, how
ever, would work a hardship. Inasmuch as
It would not be probable that the opinion
would be handed down before the 15th of
the month, at which t!m3 the Board of
Equalisation created under the new law
meets for the first time to transact busi
ness.
Warrant for Whltmarsh Girl.
A warrant was lssueti today for the ar
rest of Miss Edith Whltmarah, aged 16, and
who Uvea at 977 North Ninth street, on the
charge of grand larceny. Detective Bent-
ley went to Omaha In company with Then
dore Johnson to serve the papers and get
tho girl, who Is now being held by the po
lice at that place. The specifics charge Is
that she stole goods to the value of $200
from the Famous millinery store. Including
a large quantity of silk, laces, plumes, etc,
Her rooms In the city were searched yes
terday and a considerable quantity of the
goods found. Others, It Is claimed, were
pawned and sold In Omaha. A short time
ago she made a trip to Omaha in company
with Theodore Johnson, the man who was
arrested this morning as a suspicious char
acter, supposed to have been one of the
men who did the hold-up act last night.
They ran away to get married, but the plan
was Interfered with by the girl's father,
Nelson L. Whltmarah, who asked the
Omaha police to arrest them. It was
stated in the dispatches at the time that
the couple had been found In a rooming
house together, occupying the same room.
The girl had pawned part of her clothes
to obtain money for the coming' marriage
celebration. It Is now charged that most, of
the goods she pawned there was stuff she
had taken from the 'store In Lincoln while
she was employed there as a trimmer,
Johnson confessed to the polio this morn
ing that they had tawned a good deal of
stuff and it has .been learned that be told
the girl he would take her to St. Louis oh
tbe money they obtained. The girl was
taken to the Home of the Oood Shepherd in
Omaha, where she. has remained ever sinoe.
Sho was only employed at the Famous
sure About V month, but.' It Is estimated
that in That tlma she' got away with over
$200 worth of goods. Over half of the stuff
was found in her room at her borne at 27
North Ninth street, and It is thought that
considerable of tho rest will be found in the
pawnshops In Omaha. '
Mr. Ackerman, proprietor of the Famous,
said this afternoon that they missed good
all the time the girl wsa there and that she
was finally discharged because It was
thought she was-taklng the stuff, but the
evidence at the time wua not sufficient to
Justify them In making a search or accus
ing her of the theft. The girl has always
borne a good reputation and It is said by
those who know her that Johnson is re
sponsible for her downfall.
' Invoice at Soldiers Home.
C. C. Husted of the governor's office has
Just returned from a trip to Grand Island,
where he spent some time in making an
Inventory of the state property at the Sol
tilers' and Sailors' home, preparatory to
making a transfer to Commandant-elect
Askwtth of Omaha. Mr. Hunted stated that
he found everything In excellent condition,
that ba believed there were no grounds for
the charge that the stock was permitted
to run down In condition.
On the large farm IK! head of cattle are
kept, and he found that they were In good
condition. Ths carriage which was said to
have been permitted to fall in decay, Mr.
Husted says. Is nothing but an old carryall
which is fast sinking Into docrepltude
through the ravages of time and will have
to be replaced. He doea not believe that
the charges made against Cole's manage
ment were Justified,

FIRE DOG DIESFR0M GRIEF
Pet of the Department Moaras Loss
of His Friend, a Worn-
Oat Horse.
HASTINGS. Neb.. Nov. 28 (Special. -When
the dog 'Tar' died at the city hall
this week It was another Instance among
animals of death because of grief. Pal was
adopted by the boys of the fire department
about two years ago end was a favorite
"" inem. iNone ot them claimed a
greater sest for fighting the fire fiend than
Pal. and when the alarm rang the dog be
came greatly agitated, ana was to be sp
peased only when the hose cart went
rattling toward the flnmes. He always kept
a close and silent watch until the flames
were subdued.
Meanwhile a strong mutual friendship
had 'sprung up between Til snd one of the
department horres, Dave. So well did these
two understand each other that Pal would
often crawl Into Dave's stall and remain
there for. an hour or more vlslflng appar
ently with as much enjoyment as human
beings. It was by Dave's side that Psl
raced tcNhe fires.
About a year ago Dave was deemed unfit
for service and sold and taken away. From
me day of hit departure his friend Pel
began to moan. He would look longingly
Into the stall of his departed comrade and
at right howled disconsolately. Gradually
he ceased to take Interest In fires until at
last he did not leave tbe engine house. His
whines at times were pitiful and he ate but
little and waa coming to be a mere shadow
of the old Pal. Early this week he died of
grief, and the firemen are mourning his
death as that of a true friend.

BEATRICE, Neb., Nov., 28.-(Sperlal.V-A
very pleasing program was given Thanks
riving eve at the Nebraska Institute for
Fesble MlnCed Touth by the pupils of tht

this Institution possess a peculiar Interest
from the fact that It li popular'y presumed
that the ch'ldren gathered here afe not
nvntally constituted to give an entertain

there a greater popular error. The easml
vMtor to these affairs can hardly reconcile
himself to the belief tint the participants
In the programs are not among the bright

their mental faculties. The singing and
recitations were pleasure giving In the
highest degree, as were the cellsthenic
cxerclres and drills, and this same observa
tion will truly apply to them.
On Thanksgiving day 330 children ant

were prettily arranged with flowers and

How the World-Herald Covered the Fire
MoJcm
Now and then it happens that an arrant
braggart overreaches ) imself In Ms elTor's
to appear Important, and only succeels In
making himself ridiculous. Thli U exactly
the position In which the eunlrr Omaha
yellow journal finds Itself at present.
Ith its customary effrcntery snd men-
Caclty, It haa been taking to itself all kinds
of credit for good deeds in connection with
the terrible catastrophe of Thursday morn
ing. Its latest claim being that through Its
columns Mrs. Ooldborough was flrst up
pilsed of her husband's fate. Going very
minutely Into the clnomitances of how
Mrs. Qoldbcrough was at the grocery on
that morning and tslkel with the grocer
about the dinner the and he." husband
would have together, the World-Herald
proceeds:
However, when she ha4 arrived tr
home, ntoti Fouth Twelfth ttreet, the found
a eopv ot the morning World- lerald and
read the account of the ti.e whiu ,
standing upi n the perch. Then he par. el
ten unneeaea from Her arms and she r.ed
away to the engine house.
That wouldn't be of any especial cubllc
importance, even If it were true; but the
cold, iconoclastic facts In tbe case are that
if Mrs. Ooldsborough did find a World
Herald on her doorstop when she went
home, she didn't find a word about the
lire In it And even if the had come up
town and bought one of the alleged extra
editions put out by that.' publication she
wouldn't have found her husband's name
mentioned.
On the morning of the Are the Wdrld
Herald sent out a special big edition which
did not contain a word or syllable about
the conflagration. All its subscribers, both
morning and evening, were served with
copies ot the paper, aa well as hundreds
who are not subscribers. After lis entire
city edition had been sent out, the paper
got busy and about t o'clock In the morn

DIETRICH AND MILLARD OUT
Will Not Act Together in lfing th?
Nebraska Federal Appj ntmenti.
COMPACT BETWEEN THEM IS BROKEN
Announcement that Dietrich Has
Conceded the Marshalshln to Mil
lard Is Denied and the Reason
Why Is Given.
Eetwen Senators Millard and Dietrich
there Is now a yawning gulf, so far aa Ne
braska appointments are concerned. Sen
ator Dietrich ssys he has made a number
of concessions to Senator Millard In the
hope that the latter would tecede from his
stand In lavor cf the reaupj.ntment of W.
8. Summers to be district attorney lor Ne
braska. Before he left Washington, on
hearing that Senator Milla.d still endorsed
Bummer nj would not abandon l.lm, even
after his case had b.cjmi liopeicts, al
though all part.es hoped that tho senior
senator might be Induced to endorse some
other candidate and ailow a settlement,
Senator Dietrich tald he would not act In
concert with Eenato.' Millard lurtlier In con
nectljn with any uf the Nebraska uppuint
imnts. Yonttrday morning the Lincoln
State Journal, whose Washington corre
pon'.ent Is Senator Millard's private sctr
Ury, contained an announcement to the
tff.ct that Senator D etrlch had conceded
the app.in.ment of a L'i lted Slates ma shil
for Meorsska to Senator Millard. When
Senator Dletilch came up from Hastings
during the afternoon he was aeked ebout
this matter and teemed to ba rather
amased that Senator Millard thoul.l have
made the announcement. He aJmlts the
truth of a compact, but insists that he hn
withdrawn from It.
"Well," said Senator Dietrich, "thnt con
cession was made under conditions that no
longer exist. It Is true 1 had conceded to
Senator Millard the nominating of the
United States marshal, but I did that as t
had practically conceded Ben Baker, Cuizen
and Ben Barrows. These appointments were
all conceded at Senator Millard's personal
request,' but with a great deal of reluctance.
A few months ago 1 also told Senator Mil-,
lard that he might name the United States
marshal, but all thoso concesrions were
made for the purpose of trying to Induce
him to concede not only to myself, but to
tho republlcatS 'party of Nebraska, the ap
pointment of Harry Lindsay as United
States attorney. Now, I have decided to
withdraw from that compact and hereafter
I propose to act according to my best Judg
ment." "What about the appointment of the col
lector of Nebraska, which Mr. Millard says
was conceded to you soon after the sena
tors were elected?"
"This was no concession to me. Elmer
Stevenson was appointed at the special re
quest of D. E. Thompson and Senator Mil
lard honored that request because he was
under obligations to Thompson as much as
I was. Neither of us have anything to re
gret or bo ashamed of on that score. Elmer
Stevenson has made one of the most pains
taking and efficient officers that has ever
occupied the office of collector in this rtate
and he Is so credited by the department at
Washington."
