if it all wore available, would leave,
after the payment of deposits, a surplus
of $70,811.37. Hut there is some doubt
that a part of the assets are collectable.
How large this portion is no one can

which are collectable. It is confidently
asserted that depositors will all get

Nebraska Manufacturer*' and Consumer*.
A»*nclatlon.
This association was formed three
years ago and at that time the most en
thusiastic worker never dreamed that
the movement would attain its present
proportions. It has become not only'
the strongest commercial organization
in the west, but one that commands the
respect and has the best wishes of every
citizen in the state. This fact was at
tested at the'banquet given by the as
sociation in Lincoln, which was at
tended by all the state officials, the
managers and stewards of the public
institutions of Nebraska, the officers of
the city government of Lincoln and the
most prominent businoss men and man
ufacturers from all parts of the state.
Mayor Weir of Lincoln welcomed the
delegates, urging that “if there is any
one thing which the people of this
state should foster and encourage, it is
the industries and local enterprises of
the state.”
Lieutenant Governor Majors re
sponded to the toast, "Nebraska and Her
hesources,” saying he was proud of the
manufacturers' organization. Its mem
bers represent the grit, the upbuilding
and the development of this great com
monwealth, of which we are so proud.
He believed in Nebraska products, in
Nehraska children,in Nebraska women,
in Nebraska men, the grandest people
ever raised in a state of this union. He
was the head of a family of eight—all
strictly of Nebraska production. He
believed in the manufactures of No
braslia. If proper encouragement was
given Nebraska alone could produce all
the sugar used by the people of the en
tire nation. *
Hon. George P. llemis, mayor of
Omaha, responded to the toast in honor
of his city. He gave the following sta

Attorney General Hastings, respond
ed to the toast of ‘'Benefits to the
People of Nebraska in Patronizing
Home Industry,” and was frequently
interrupted by the applause which fol
lowed some of his most telling remarks,
lie said that Nebraska, commencing
with only a few hundred at the time of
.the first, census, her numbers had
swelled to 1,103,110 in 1800. and at the
present time a close estimate puts the
population at 1,500,000. Show me a
contented people and I will show you
an industrious people. It takes no
prophetic eye to sea that the sugar of
the United States will soon come from
Nebraska. Hundreds of other manu
factures, which I might name, are
rapidly coming to the front. It has
been our duty and pleature to place
the products of our manufactures in
state institutions 1 am frank to say
that since this has been done the result
has more than justified oitr expecta
tions.
lion. I. M. Raymond .of Lincoln re
sponded to the toast, "The Manufac
turing Industries of Nebraska,” and
spoke in a few well chosen words. He
said that we have resources in this
state sufficient to build many large and
prosperous cities, if we will only em
ploy labor and turn the raw material
into manufactured products. By de
veloping all the interests we will be
able to make the greatest and grandest
state in the union.”
John S. Knox, traffic manager of the
Cudahy Packing company, responded
to the toast, “The Packing Industries
of Nebraska.” The speaker asked the
question, “What has the packing indus
tries done for Nebraska?” and answered
it as follows: 4
“About $50,000,00$ in live stock has
been marketed in the last year alone?
The employes probably number 5,000
or 0,000. They no doubt support 25,000,
so that we may count 50.000 people as
the direct outgrowth of the packing in
dustries of Nebraska. We claim that
in making a market for Nebraska hogs
and cattle we draw large supplies of
stock from adjoining and distant states.
In consequence, we have made a mar
ket for what is known as feeders. With
the growth of that character of trade
there can be no limit. The farmers of
Nebraska can expect this growth to
continue. I endorse most heartily the
building up of a brotherhood of Ne
braska.”
AGAIN THE BOMB.
HURLED INTO THE FRENCH
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
IT IS THROW FROM t RillEST.
A Deputy and a Mensenger Fatally Hurt
md Many Other* Herlonaly Wounded
—The Mhoroiut a French An
archist — Immediately Cap
tured by the Police—In
tense Excitement.
Paris, Dec. 11—In the midst of the
session of the chamber of deputies at
4 o’clock this afternoon, but at a time.
when the proceedings were not inter
cf ting and the floor and galleries were
uot so crowded as usual, though there
was a fair attendance, an Anarchist,
who had secured admission to the
right gallery, threw a bomb down
into the midst of the assembled depu
ties.
The deadly missile exploded with a
loud report, scattering pieces of iron
and leaden slugs in every direction.
Socialist Deputy Le Meyers de Vill
iers and a messenger, who were close to
the spot’ were fatally mangled.
M liurton Traibin, a newspaper
man, who was on the floor of the
chamber, was badly wounded in the
forehead, and several deputies were
wounded, among them M. Dumas,
deputy from Allier.
It is said that the bomb seemed to
be filled with shot or slugs and that
when it exploded these missiles were
thrown with the greatest force in all
directions, reaching eiea as high as
the galleries.
The police, immediately after the
explosion, closed all the doors of the
chamber of deputies and refused to
allow anybody to pass in or out, until
an investigation should be concluded.
The explosion and the conflicting
reports in circulation caused the
greatest excitement throughout Paris?
There aro people who insist, in spite
of the announcement of the police
that nobody was killed outright, that
two deputies were killed on the spot
and many wounded.
It is announced that the police have
made several arrests from among the
people in the galleries of the chamber
of deputies at the time of the explo
sion. One of the persons arrested is
said to have been the one who threw
the bomb.
Ine president of the chamber of
deputies, Mr. Dupuy, behaved with
the most admirable coolness and cour
age and did everything possible to
restore order and to prevent a spread
of the panic which seized upon every
body present when the explosion took
place.
When quiet was somewhat restored,
it was discovered that nobody was
killed outright and M. Dupuy rang
the bell of the president of the cham
ber calling the deputies to resume
their seats. About one-third of tho
number of deputies present at the
time . of the explosion obeyed
the summons and when they
were Boated M Dupuy rose
and said us camly as if nothing had
happened: “Such attempts 'should
not disconcert the chamber. I invite
you to continue your discussions with
calmness, where the order of the day
has been dealt with. The proper of
ficials will do their duty.” [Loud
and prolonged cheers.
In the midst of indescribable com
motion, the discussion of the verifica
tion of the deputies was resumed.
As the discussion was resumed the
frightened spectators gradually re
sumed their places in the galleries.
Soon after Premier Casimir-Perier
mounted the tribune and congratulat
ed the chamber of deputies upon hav
ing adopted the advice of M. Dupuy,
adding: “The chamber had done its
duty and the government will do the
same." [Loud cheering.]
The rooms where the wounded per
sons were treated presented a sangui
nary appearance.
The wouud from which Deputy Le
Myre is suffering is very dangerous.
Ho has a severe wound in the neck,
but It is expected that he will recover.
At least a score of spectators from
the tribunes and galleries traversed
the Salle des Pasperdues in order to
get medical assistance. All had
bloody shirts and cravats and wounds
could be seen about their faces.
The explosion occurred the moment
the bomb left the Anarchist’s hand,
which explains the number of people
wounded in the gallery. Had the
bomb fallen among the deputies a
number of them would have been
killed.
A number of strangers and journal
alists, all more or less wounded, were
picked up even on the second floor.
Scattered about the chamber were
pieces of iron larger, but of the same
shape as nailheads. *

New Tonic, Das. U—In roferonce to
suit for t’;o vocovory of 340,000, filed
ngalust Georg's J. Gould by Mrs.
Celia Nicolaus, through hor guardian,
Mr. Gould haa authorized the follow
ing statement:
"I never Have the woman a check
for $43,000 or any other amount. It is
evidently a scheme to extort money
from me, The woman first came to
my office nearly a year ago and
claimed to know several prominent
persons in Chicago with whom I am
acquainted. According to her repre
sentations she was here without
money, and being desirous of
returning home she said she
had come to me for a
pass. I never give passes to women,
but out of sympathy for the girl’s po
sition I did decide to help her and
gave her money enough to take her
back to Chicago comfortablv. Within
a week she came to my office again
and said her departure for Chicago
had been delayed and confessed that
she had been obliged to speed part of
the monev which I had given her,
and therefore did not have, enough to
enable her to return home, as she bad
intended. Thereupon I gave her some
more money, but when she came back
again a week later, I refused to see
her, because I had then decided that
she was not telling the truth. That
is all I know about the woman. ”
The young woman, now IS years
old, is the daughter of David Lytle, a
man in poor circumstances, who
lives in Wabash, Ind. When a
mere girl she secured a situation
in a dry goods store and soon
after left Wabash for Logansport,
Ind., where she made a claim
against a man by the name of Christ
man. From Logansport Rozella Lytle
is said to have gono to Kansas City
and thence to other Western points.
She entered Chicago over a year ago and
there met William A. Nicolhus, a rich
widower, to whom she was married.
They went to Joliet to live, but life
proved too humdrum for the bride after
six weeks and she deserted her
husband and returned to Chicago,
where she lived for some time with
out visible means of support. Among
those whom she met at this period
was Albert Ruhman, who figures in
the>suit as guardian. Last winter she
came to New York, pending an action
for a divorce from Nicolaus. At one
time she thought some qf making her
debut as an actress and received in
struction from a well known actor.
MR. BAYARD TALKS.
I be Hs-8eeret»rr of State on the Ha
waiian Imbroglio.
London, Doc. 11.—Neither the for
eign office nor tho Hawaiian charge
d'affaires have any advice concerning
Hawaii from Auckland to-day.
United States Ambassador Bayard
read the special dispatch to the Asso
ciated Press from Auckland with
great interest and then said: “Presi
dent Cleveland will deal with the
weak liawaiians in the most mag
nanimous manner and will not force
upon them a government which they
have not had a full chance to discuss.”
Regarding dispatches published in
the Times and Steward, to-day, in
dicating that President Cleveland is
about to reverse his Hawaiian policy
a.nd that new instructions to this ef
fect have been sent to Hawaii, adding
that the whole question would be sent
to congress, Mr. llayard said: “ There
can be no reversal of a policy based
simply upon justice and magnanimity.
President Cleveland’s policy is one of
noD-interference. He had no inten
tion of enteriug the islands and depos
ing the government. The policy of
the United’ States toward Hawaii is
not a selfish one. On the contrary the
president's intention is that no advan
tage shall be taken of the weakness
of the queen’s party and that the
queen shall have a full and fair chanee
to get on her feet if possible. The
Hawaiian native autonomy has been
so enfeebled by late events that I
hardly know whether the Hawaiians
can avail themselves of the offer of
the president to restore the queen to
the throne.”
Mr. T. H. Davis, the guardian of the
Princess Kaiolani, is now in Hawaii
and the princess is on the con
tinent. The latest news received by
a representative of Mr. Davis in this
country confirms the special dispatch
to the Associated Press from Auck
land, New Zealand.
A SWINDLER OF RENOWN.
Howard of Jackson* Tenn., Identified by
Noted Men as a New York Fraud.
Jackson, Tenn., Dec. 11.—In the
Howard trial yesterday John C. New,
secretary of the treasury under Presi
dent Arthur, and consul general at
Liverpool under President Harri
son, and ltobert T. Lincoln, late
American minister to the court of
St. James, with London Detective
Forest testified, forming a chain
of identification of Dr. 6. F. B. How
ard as “William Lord Moore,” the
fraudulent inheritance claim agent
whom Forest forced to stop swindling.
Sergeants Heidelberg and McCloskey
of Superintendent Byrne's staff of
New York city are in the city to iden
tify the defendant as “Legcr” and
“Ross” of the European claims agency.
Insall Ralmer of New York also iden
tified the defendant as Ross, head of
the European claims agenev. This
seems to make William Lord Moore of
London, E. Ross and Joseph Leger of
New York and G. F. B. Howard of
Jackson, one and the same man.

DAWES* INDIAN COMMISSION.
Little Faith JSxpreueil Id Its Bolus
Able to Ac«ioiu|tliata Anything.
Washington, Deo. !t. — Very little
confluence is expressed here that the
Dawes commission which is preparing1
to treat with the Five Civilized tribes
of the Indian territory will be able to
achieve any results of value. The op
position on the part of the Indians to
the proposed surrender of tribal sov
ereignty so far as it has been mani
fested by their representatives and
spokesmen in Washington has contin
uously been unbroken and Is said to
be especially strong among the
Cherokees. *
Ex-Senator Dawes has had much ex
perience with Indian affairs from a
legislative standpoint, but none, even
among his udmirers, conversant with
conditions, venture a prophecy of
success. All that is looked for is a
series of protracted negotiations and
the ultimate submission of a fruitless
report.
Meanwhile the interior department
evidences no haste as to the openings
of the reservations in the Indian ter
ritory, to which title has either ex
tiu.'uished or soon will be. Chairman
McRae of the public lands committee
said to-day that it was even possible
that settlement would be delayed un
til such time as the law under which
the Cherokee strip was opened should
be amended in accordance with the
expressed desires of the interior de
partment.
MONEY FOR THE NAVY.

Washington, Dec. 8. — Chairman
Cummings of the committee on naval
affairs thinks that the appropria
tions for the naval establsihment
will not bo cut down by this
congress, thought he thinks that
a fight will be made on the bilL
The fact that Chairman Sayers of the
appropriations committee has not ob
tained from the navy department in
formation abont the expenditures for
the navy for the past few years indi
cates that it is intended to make a
fight on the naval expenditures, but
Mr. Cummings feels sure that it would
not be successful as the demands for
the navy are greater than they were
last year. When the last appropria
tions were made thefe were many
contracts that had not been completed
Now that these contracts had been
filled the appropriations muse be
made.
OPTION DEALING IN GRAIN.
An Important Opinion of the Missouri
Supreme Court.
Jefferson City, ftio., Dec. 9.—Judge
llurgess of division No. S of the su
preme court filed an important opin
ion yesterday in a case involving a
construction of the law involving op
tion dealings in grain. There was a
cross-appeal in two cases, one by the
brokerage firm of Connor &
Connor of St.. Louis to recover com
mission and 84,40ii of margins from
one Biuck, and the other by Black to
recover 85,000 put up with the firm to
hold up a deal on loO.OOO bushels of
oats. The court finds that the deal
ings were purely ficticious, so far
actual delivery of grain was con
cerned, and the court holds that such
contracts under the existing law are
gambling, and consequently void. It
is held to be the duty of both parties
to be apprised of each other's inten
tions. If even one of the parties is
dealing in fictitious property the con
tract is also void.
