Lincoln dispatch: Judge Wakeley
came down from Omaha today and
filed with the clerk of the supreme
court a motion for a new trial of the
case of the state against ex-Treasurcr
John E. Hill and his bondsmen. The
supreme court will meet next Tuesday,
the 21st inst., and quite likely set a
day for the beginning of the trial. It
is not thought that the retrial of the
case will occupy so much time, as all
the testimony taken in the last trial
has been reduced to writing and made
a part of the record, from which it can
be read to the jury.
. To Get Old Soldiers Listed.
Assistant Adjutant General Gage of
the Grand Army of the Uepublic has
issued the following circular to the va
rious posts of the state, advising them
to assist county clerks in preparing cor
rect reports of soldiers and sailors in
the war of the rebellion, now residents
of Nebraska:
“Lincoi.n, May 18, 1895.—-The law
makes it the duty of the assessors of
the state to make a true and correct
report of all soldiers and sailors of the
late war of the rebellion in their town
ships and districts to the county clerks,
and they to the secretary of state, and
he to have the same published. This
makes a very valuable work if it is cor
rectly done. In the past this has been
so carelessly performed by many of the
assessors and county clerks as to make
the record of little value. First, many
names omitted: second, the companies
and regiments incorrectly stated; third,
so poorly written that it could not be
read by the printer.
"I therefore ask the commander of
the posts at the county seats to see that
one of the members of the post cor
rects the county clerk’s report before
it is sent to the secretary of state.
“I believe that every county clerk
will be glad to receive this assistance.
It is at this time very important that
we have the roster of the soldiers and
sailors correct.
“The state generously pays for this
work and it is our duty to see that it is
correctly compiled.
“By order of the department com
mander.
“James Dudley Gage,
“Assistant Adjutant General.

London, May 27.—Oscar Wilde, guilty,

erstwhile apostle of testheticism was
sentenced to two years’ Imprisonment.
Alfred Taylor, Wilde's associate, was
also sentenced to two years’ imprison
ment. Both the prisoners’ terms are
to be worked out at hard labor.
The courtroom was crowded with
spectators when Sir Francis Lockwood,
solicitor general, resumed his address
to the Jury. He severely commented on
the prisoner's Intimacy with Lord
Frederick Douglas and the exhibition
of the younger man by the elder one at
hotels and public places in and about
London. Referring to the much-com
mented-on letters which Wilde wrote to
Lord Alfred Douglas, counsel said that
the Jury had been told they were too
low to appreciate such poetry, and he
thanked God it was so, as it showed
they were above the level of beasts.
(Applause, which the Judge promptly
suppressed.)
Sir Edward Clarke, being counsel for
Wilde, here Interposed objections to
such appeals as the one Just made by
Sir Francis Lockwood, which counsel
claimed, should not be allowed. When
Sir Francis Lockwood continued his
speech he warned the Jury to render a
verdict which would prevent “such a
detestable and abominable vice from
rearing its head unblushtngly in this
country."
Justice Wills began summing up at
1:30. The general tenor of his address
to the Jury was favorable to Wilde.
The Jury retired at 3:30 and reported
Its verdict at 6:30.
MARKETS FOR AMERICA.
Consular Reports on Avenues for Ex*
tending the United States' Trade.
Washington, May 27.—The bureau of
statistics of the state department has
Just published reports from consular of
ficers upon the oriental market for
dairy products and fruit. Consul Hunt,
at Hong Kong sums up the subject for
that part of China as follows:
There are two articles—condensed
milk and raisins—from the United
States which are used by Europeans and
Chinese and should command an Im
portant place In the market. I might
add that butter, ham and bacon and all
kinds of salt meats are in demand at
a small profit.
Consul Sommer at Bombay says that
California canned fruits and preserves
are considered the best in the Bombay
market. No butter or cheese is im
ported front the United States.
Consul General Polk, at Calcutta,
says there is small chance for United
States fruit growers to secure a market
in Bengal. The United Kingdom has
most of the trade.
Vice Consul Boon, at Padang, reports
that the dairy products are almost ex
clusively from Holland and Switzer
land. The imported fruits there come
exclusively from California.
WANTS TO RUN ITSELF.
Formosa Iasnes a Declaration ot Inde
pendence*
Washington, May 27.—The state de
partment has received a cablegram from
Mr. Danby, United States minister to
China, stating that the island of For
mosa has declared her independence;
that the powers have been so notified,
and that a government, republican in
form, has been established in For
mosa.
This adds a new complication to the
situation in the east. Before the gov
ernment can recognize the Formosan
Independence it must be shown that a
provisional government which can stand
has been organized.
There are great numbers of Japanese
In Formosa, and it remains to be seen
what course they will adopt.
MARSHALS ARE DISCHARGED.
Whisky Trust Distilleries at Feorla Still
Guarded.
Peoria, III., May 27.—The deputy
United States marshals from Chicago
who have been guarding the Distilling
and Cattle Feeding distilleries, left to
day. Regular watchmen were sworn
In this morning to take their place.
Representative S. Shaffer, of Chicago,
author of the house bill to prohibit feed
ing of distillery slop, is in the city today.
He says the house will do nothing about
the matter until it comes to them from
the senate, and the house commitee,
which made the investigation, will not
make a report because the senate com
mittee report is substantially what
theirs would be.
A Fugitive Messenger Caught.
San Francisco, Cal., May 27.—John
Flett, 18 years old, is under arrest in
this city awaiting the arrival of an offi
cer from Chicago to take him east.
Flett was a messenger in the employ
of the Fort Dearborn national bank and
as such was intrusted with the collec
tion of checks and drafts.
Nearly two months ago, after hav
ing collected $860, Flett disappeared. He
says he was seized with an uncontroll
able desire to come west and did so, in
company with a young companion.'
Cowboys Do Rattle With A parlies.
Phoenix, Ariz., May 27.—Information
has been received here through J. ,T.
Frazier, a prominent cattle man whose
ranch is in the Sierra Anenas, that cow
boys have had a fight with Apaches,
who were believed to be members of
Apache Kid's band. A squaw was
killed and an Indian wounded. The
cowboys believe that the latter is kid
himself. The fight took place in the
upper San Pedro valley, in the vicinity
of the San Carlos reservation.

ST. LOUIS READY FOR WORK,
UIg American Liner Start* on Her
Ocean Test Trip.
Philadelphia, May 27.—At 11:45 to-day
the pioneer of the modern American
merchant marines, the giant steamship
St. Louts, cast off her hawsers at
Cramps’ shipyard and started down the
Delaware river on her Initial ocean voy
age. As the big steamer pointed her
nose down the stream she was greeted
by all kinds of craft in the river, the
noise being simply deafening. This was
continued until the St. Louis had
passed League island, the extreme
lower end of the city.
The St. Louis is the largest vessel
that has ever sailed down the Dela
ware river. She is in command of Capt.
Wm. C. Randle, and the crew of 400
men who sailed away with her to-day
will take the big vessel on her initial
voyage across the Atlantic. The St.
Louis will anchor to-night at Reedy is
land. To-morrow morning between 2 and
4 o’clock she will weigh anchor and run
down to the capes where her compasses
will be adjusted and the trial trip will
be on. It is expected that she will re
main at sea from four to five days and
then go to New York.
The contract for the St. Louis calls
for a speed of twenty knots an hour,
but it is thought that she will easily
surpass this speed.
TO REMOVE THE BAN,
Effort to Be Made to Reconsider the
Boycott of Union Seminary.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 27.—The ninth
day's session of the 107th general as
sembly attracted more than the ordin
ary number of commissioners for this
late day. The word had been passed
to the conservative leaders that the lib
erals were moving toward the repeal of
their pet measure, the boycotting of the
students of Union seminary. To this
end Moderator Booth has been besieged
by some of the influential friends of the
seminary, and it is understood the plan
Is to reconsider the vote of Wednesday
which placed the ban upon that insti
tution.
The report of the standing committee
on theological seminaries was read to
day by Dr. F. C. Montfort of Cincin
nati.
William I. McEwen of Pittsburg was
announced as the chairman of the
$1,000,000 memorial fund committee.
An overture calling attention to the
“flagrant violation of the Sabbath by
congress,” on the last Sunday of Its
session and asking for an expression
of condemnation by the general assem
bly having been presented, an answer in
accordance with the request was report
ed and adopted by vote of the assembly.
The answer carried with It a recom
mendation for a petition to congress,
praying against a repetition of this act.
HENEY IS SLIPPERY.
Man Who Looted the Carton -Mint It
Difficult to Capture.
San Francisco, May 27.—The secret
service agents throughout the United
States are on the lookout for James H.
Heney, charged to be In the band that
looted the Carson mint by carrying
away $80,000 of gold from the melting
and retining department.
The accusation of the officials is
that Heney got about $50,000 of the total
amount stolen. He was assistant to the
melter and refiner, Jones, who -was ar
rested several months ago for com
plicity In the crime. After leaving Ne
vada Heney went to Butte, Mont., and
then he visited many mining towns,
among them the Important camps In
Colorado. He was recently heard of at
a small camp in Colorado called Koko
mo, where he was visiting a friend
named McClasky. The government offi
cials surrounded the cabin where Heney
was supposed to be hiding. He had
learned of their approach and had de
parted. He was last heard of at Pu
eblo.
MURDERED BY A FIEND,
Six-Year-Old May Shannon of Cohoes,
N. Y.( Assaulted and Slain.
Cohoes, N. Y., May 27.—Anna May
Shannon, a pretty little blue-eyed 6-year
old daughter of John Shannon of this
city, went upon the street to play with
some companions. Some time later,
three hoys, playing near the Hudson,
say a body floating, partially sub
merged. The body, which was that of
the little Shannon girl, was dragged
ashore.
There was a gaping wound In the
right temple. The body was taken to an
undertaking establishment and the cor
oner ordered an examination. Physi
cians found the poor little creature had
been brutally assaulted. The body pre
sented a frightful appearance.
The Wheat Bulge.
Chicago, May 25.—The wheat market
was wild, nervous, Irregular and uncer
tain to-day. It opened weak at 75%,
which was 1% cents below yesterday's
close at 77. The brokers were half
crazy. The pit was full of selling orders
and half the traders wanted to sell on
their own account as well. At the same
moment wheat was selling in different
parts of the pit at every fractional
price between 78% and 75*4. The pro
fessionals jumped on the market with
all their feet and stamped prices down
and down, and before they were stopped
the quotation of 74% had been made.
Then the bulls began to toss their
horns and when they quit for a breath
ing spell they had lifted the market to
79% and they kept It close to that figure
till the close, which was at 79%.
Tobacco Workers Organize.
St. Louis, Mo., May 27.—The Tobacco
Workers’ National Union has completed
Its constitution. Annual sessions were
provided for and a sick benefit of J:i
per week for single men and *5 for mar
ried men allowed. A per capita tax is
to be levied for the first three years of
$1 each, to raise a large fund. The na
tional headquarters are located in this '
city. |
Heavy Kaln in Nebraska.
Omaha, May 27.—Rain fell In many |

I
AT 77 1-4 CENTS.
July Wheat Touche* a High FlfUit it
Chicago*
Chicago, May 22.—Wheat scored an
other advance today and took a long
step toward the dollar mark. The open
ing quotation was 74%c and the closing
figure was 77%c, a gain of 3%c over the
closing of yesterday. The advance was
accompanied by many fluctuations and
reactions, but the ascending tendency
was almost without Interruption. Val
ues were forced upward by a combina
tion of news of the most "bullish”
kind. Other markets at home and
abroad were active and higher; reports
from all parts of the wheat-producing
district indicate enormous damage to
the crop, and there was a multitude of
buying orders In the hands of the com
mission houses. The market responded,
quickly to these influences. It opened
at 7494c and 74%c, three-fourths of a
cent above yesterday’s dosing figure
of 7394c. On short order the quotations
climbed to 7594c, and by 11:30 o'clock
the top notch of 7694c was touched, a
clear gain of 3 cents a bushel over the
close of yesterday. The market eased
off a little after this.
The crop reports received In the brok
ers’ offices were most discouraging. In
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
the Dakotas and Nebraska there seems
to be reason to suppose that not more
than half a wheat crop will be harvest
ed. The responsibility for (he damage
seems to be divided among the frost,
the chinch bugs and the Hessian flies.
All three have worked injury to the
young wheat, and the ravages are
greater than was at first supposed.
Many fields of wheat which were
thought to be safe are now reported to
be turning yellow and withering, and
the decay is said to be due to the pes
tiferous Hessian fly.
WHITE'S IDENTITY FIXED.
New York Court Send* a Special Com
mlseioner to Washington.
Port Townsend, Wash., May 23.—The
death and Identity of Ansel White, the
lost heir to the $4,000,000 estate, has
been fully established by a special court
commission sent to this coast by the
probate court of Utica, N. Y. It appears
a period of fifty , years elapsed from the
time White hurridly left his home in
company with another man's wife until
his heirs learned of his death near Port
Angeles.
White and the woman went to Illinois,
where they separated and he went out
west to California and ultimately set
tled on a lonely ranch In the Olympic
mountains, where thirty years later he
died. His will bequeathing all his
worldly possessions to Preston M. Troy
is pronounced worthless so far as it ap
plies to the eastern estate.

Ottumwa, Iowa, May 23.—The State
Federation of Labor closed Us session
In this city yesterday after a red-hot
fight on silver, non-union mines, and
the socialistic plank adopted by the na
tional federation at Denver. The reso
lution in favor of the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. was laid
on the table and the question referred

ment. The socialistic plank met the
same fate. The date of holding the
next convention was changed from the
third Monday In May to the second
Monday In December. The Union Stand

sible for the voter to express an opinion
on matters of public interest for the
guidance of legislators and officials;
and one denouncing cheap labor in the
guise of charity. L. T. Jones of Bur
iington was elected president*
