the lots. Oscar Yeager saw Egleton
plowing there and remonstrated with
him regarding the matter. It is said
that Egleton told Yeager to get a sur

Affidavit Supporting Motion to

j Lincoln dispatch to the Omaha Bee:
Attorney General Smyth filed a long
affidavit in the district court here to
day in support of his motion to dis
solve the injunction obtained by th«»
Bartley bondsmen to prevent the fur
ther prosecution of the case against
them on the bond until after the state
first prosecutes and determines the
liability of the Omaha National bank
on its depository bond for $201,884 of
Bartley’s shortage.
In the affidivit filed the attorney gen
eral Insists that the injunction is not
sustained by the facts in the case. He
says a number of the allegations in the
petition for a permanent injunction
are untrue, especially wherein it is al
leged that the principles and the sure
ties on the depository bond ever agreed
to indemnify the sureties of Bartley
on his individual bond from loss, dam
age or liability by reason of the con
version, diversion or loss by embez
zlement of the deposits in the Omaha
National bank. He also denies that the
petition tells the truth when it say3
Bartley's bond was never approved
by the governor. Mr. Smyth further
avers that neither the governor nor
himself has ever claimed, nor did they
ever claim, that the Omaha National
bank is liable on the depository bond
for the whole or any part of the mon
ey embezzled by Bartley. Neither is
it true, he adds, that the bondsmen
of Bartley are not able to plead, nor
are they wholly remediless, except by
the interposition of a court of equity,
to sue at law and get Justice in that
way. In fact, says Mr. Smyth, there
is not enough truth in the allegations
contained in the petition to justify the
issuance of any injunction by the
court.
The contention raised in this suit,
the attorney general explains, is by no
means a new one- Bartley’s bonds
men raised it and argued on the point
before Judge Dickinson during the trial
'In Omaha of the suit when it was at
first brought. Judge Dickinson has
held against the contention in a writ
ten decision which the attorney gen
eral says he will submit to Judge Frost
before whom the Injunction suit is to
be tried in the district court here. The
same question was argued at lengtti in
the briefs filed by the bondsmen when
the supreme court passed on the case
and the attorney general points to the
fact that the supreme court decided the
case generally in his favor a3 rather
indicating what its stand in the mat
ter was.
In Memory of StotBenberg.
Governor I’oynter has received a
printed copy of an order read before
the Sixth cavalry, United States army,
at Fort Riley, Kan., concerning the
death of Colonel John M- Stotsenberg.
The order is as follows:
The regimental commander announc
es to the regiment the death of Captain
John M. Stotsenberg, Sixth cavalry,
U. 8. A., and colonel of the First Ne
braska volunteer infantry regiment,
at Calumpit, Island of Luzon, while
gallantly leading his regiment against
the intrenched insurgents. Captain
Stotsenberg was born at New Albany,
Indiana, November 24, 1858. He en
tered the military academy July 1,
1897, and graduated therefrom June 11,
1881, and was assigned second lieu
tenant of this regiment.
Captain Stotsenberg served with this
regiment continuously from the time
of his joining until September, 1895,
and was distinguished for fidelity, sol
dierly qualities and devotion to duty.
He was a distinguished graduate of
the infantry and cavalry school at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan., class of 1897.
In that year he was detached as in
structor of military sclent t the
University of Nebraska and so favor
ably impressed the governor of that
state that he appointed him major of
the First Nebraska volunteers at the
outbreak of the Spanish-Amerlcan war
and later he was promoted to be col
onel of that regiment.
He served with distinguished cour
age and capacity in the campaign ter
minating with the fall of Manila and
in the subsequent campaign against
the Filipino insurgents.
Captain Stotsenberg was a man of
tireless energy, careful and conscien
tious in the performance of every duty
His genial nature and sterling, manly
qualities made him beloved and re
spected by all with whom he came in
contact.
As a special mark of respect the
officers of the regiment will wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty
days.
The order was signed by First Lieu
tenant F. C. Marshall, acting adjutant
to the regiment, and was drawn up by
order of Major Lebo.
Homes on Nebraska Lands.
Now that the deeds to the Nabraska
lands have passed to the company,
says the Omaha Bee, the land depart
ment of the Union Pacific railroad will
leave nothing undone which will tend
to Induce settlers to come to Nebraska
and locate along its line of road.
Appraisers have been in the field
for several weeks putting new values
on the Union Pacific land and relist
ing it. The old classification has been
found unsuitable. Much of the land
was listed for farming purposes, which
is now being put under the head of
grazing lands. There is also a read
justment of prices with the tendency
generally lower. These lands have
been out of the market for a year, and
a special effort will be made to attract
attention to them on the part of home
seekers. Other lands of considerable
area, on which the contracts of sale
had been allowed to lapse, will also, go
on the market again. The company
will take full advantage of the sum
mer homeseekers’ excursions to bring
out prospective settlers, and a travel
ing agent will be located at Chicago
STATUTE OF USES.
State Supreme Court Holds as Mot In
Force In Tills Slat*.
Chief Justice Harrison has written
an opinion for the supreme court, hold
ing that the "statute of uses” is not In
force la this state, it not being of tho
laws of Nebraska. This “statute of
us-js” involves a point of the common
ls.w handed down from the time of
Henry VIII. of England and has al
ways been a much disputed point
among Nebraska attorneys. The su
preme court has never ruled on it be
fore, hence the importance of the de
cision to the lawyers of the state.
The decision is In the case of the
Farmers’ and Merchants’ Insurance
company against Ivers Jansen, taken
to the supreme court on error from the
district court in Saunders county. The
court adheres to its original decision
In the suit, which was a reversal and
remanding of the case, and holds that
the "statute of uses” is not of the law
of the state and therefore cannot be
enforced. The original statute of uses,
adopted during the reign of Henry
VIII, was set forth in full in the plead
ings and tile following interpretation
was placed upon it by one of the at
torneys in the case:
a, owning real estate, snail con
vey or will It to B, under an agreement
between tjiem that notwithstanding the
conveyance A, or some other person or
corporation, shall have the rents or
profits arising from the real estate,
notwithstanding the conveyance made
by A under that agreement, he shall
have the title he had before he made
the conveyance.”
In the case In question the defend
ant transferred his property to his
wife and the wife transferred it to a
third person who afterward transfer
red it back to her. Jansen claimed
all this was done with the agreement
between himself and wife that the
property was to be for his use and to
remain under his control and direction.
When there was a loss on the insur
ance policy the insurance company as
serted that the property had changed
title, without the consent of the com
pany, and that the transactions were
directly contrary to the terms of the
policy. The original owner claimed
the property had not changed hands, at
least that there had been no change in
the insurance interest. He claimed
that he had the same title he had be
fore the conveyance was made, argu
ing on the supposition that the stat
ute of uses was in force. The lower
court gave Jansen a judgment against
the insurance company, but the decis
ion of the supreme court reverses it
and remands it for another trial with
instructions to the court below that
the statute of uses is not in force.
Some lawyers assert that the “stat
ute of uses” if applicable at all in the
United States, would not be in the
states comprising the Louisiana pur
chase, that territory never having been
under the control of England or sub
ject to its common law. Missouri is
the only state in the territory that
has given a decision on the point, and
it is considered of importance be
cause in that state there is a statute
on the subject. In a number of east
ern states the courts have held that
the statute of uses is still in force.
State Employment Bureau.
All persons desiring help and all out
of employment should write at once
to the state labor bureau and let their
i wants be known. The legislature of
1896 and 1897 passed a law making
this a free employment bureau for the
entire state.
Those who want help should state in
their applications exactly what kind
of help is wanted, in what branch of
labor, etc. Those who want situations
should state sex, age, height, weight,
trade or branch of labor, length of
service or experience, references, etc.
All information received by the bu
reau will be held strictly confidential
and all services rendered will be free
Absolutely no fee will be charged in
any case. This is a free employment
bureau and is designed to do away
with the private employment agency
nuisance in the cities, by which so
many worthy people are victimized.
All desiring help of any kind—car
penters, brickmakers, mill men, farm
hands, city laborers, cooks, servant
girls, or help of any kind, should im
mediately apply to this office and they
will be put in communication with
those in the line of service desired.
Persons out of employment should
also write without delay. All unfilled
applications should be renewed after
thirty days.
■ Communications should be addressed

Boy Charged With Murder.
The second arrest of Ernest Bush In
Denver on the charge of having killed
Silas Bailey near Benkelman, Neb-, on
February 7, has revived the interest
in that ease and has created some talk
locally because Bush’s parents are said
to live in Omaha. He claims his fath
er's name i3 John Bush and that his
parents moved there from Honey
Creek, la., recently.
At the time the murder occurred
Bush, a lad of sixteen, was working
with Silas Bailey for a ranchman nam
ed Morris in Dundy county. One day
Bailey disappeared and no trace could
be secured of him. His body was
finally recovered from the Republican
river and it was found that he had
been killed by a load of buckshot. Sus
picion rested upon Bush and he was
taken into custody. Owing to his age
it was not believed possible for him
to have killed the old man, so he w’as
discharged at the preliminary exami
nation. Since then more evidence has
been secured which, it is believed, will
convict him of the crime. He was lo
cated in Denver, placed under arrest,
and is now awaiting trial in Benkel
man.
Raising Figures nu mils.
W. D. Houck, W. V. Houck and T.
\V. Kennedy were brought to Omaha
from Fairbury by Deputy United States
Marshal Keim and lodged in the coun
ty jail to await the action of the Unit
ed States grand jury. The men are
charged with mutilating United States
currency by raising and changing the
figures on banl bills. Their work was
most clumsy, and for this reason they
succeeded in getting rid of but a few
of the bills before they w’ere caught.
When the Houcks and Kennedy were
arrested a number of indelible pencil*
were found in their possession

MANILA, May 15.—The civilian
members of the United States Philip
pine commission are favorable to the
meeting with a Filipino commission,
which was suggested yesterday on be
half of Aguinaldo by Lieutenant Roys
of the staff of General Gregerio Del
Pilar, who came to General Lawton
under a llag of truce, bearing the pro
posal. It is thought by the American
commissioners that the idea may have
resulted from a recent meeting of the
so-called Filipino congress at San
Isidor. The local Filipino commission,
which is in close communication with
the leaders of the rebellion, is doing
its utmost to secure peace.
Ten members of Major General
Lawton’s band of scouts, under W. M.
Young, the old Indian fighter, entered
the town of San Miguel, about fifteen
miles north of Norsegaray, not aware
of what place it was. They found 200
FilipinoS there, but the rebels, taking
the scouts for the advance of General
Lawton’s army, fled after firing a few
shots. Young and another scout were
wounded and have been brought to
Manila.
The Ninth infantry and a mountain
battery of six guns have been sent to
the front.
The uniform Quiet now prevailing
in Manila has led the aumorities to
'elax the rule under which the city
streets were cleared from 7 to 8:30
p. m. and there i3 in consequence the
largest and most brilliant assembly
of pedestrians and people in carriages
at the concerts on the Luenta that has
been known here since the Spaniards
left.
Prof. Schurmann, president of the
United States Philippine commission,
gave a farewell luncheon today to Ad
miral Dewey, at which Prof. Dean C.
Worcester and Colonel Charles Denby
of the commission, with General Mac
Arthur, Mrs. Lawton and others, were
present. The health of the admiral
was drunk with the utmost cordiality.
WASHINGTON, May 15—The fol

Strain Too Great for Irving.
LONDON, May 15.—Sir Henry Ir
ving, whose recent work in the title
role of Sardou’s famous drama, “Robe
spierre,” at the Lyceum theater has
been exceedingly trying, was taken
seriously ill Sunday morning with an
affection of the throat. Dr. Farrar, a
specialist, was immediately summoned
and as the result of his advice it is
announced this evening that Sir Hen
ry’s part during the present week will
be taken by his son, Lawrence. Law
rence Irving is Sir Henry's understudy
in several notable roles.
The announcement of the illness
brought a large number of professional
callers this evening to Sir Henry Ir
ving’s residence in Grafton street, but
his medical adviser has forbidden him
to receive any one at present.
It is hoped that with complete rest
he will be restored to his usual health
by the end of the week.
Nebraskan Attempts Suicide.
CHICAGO, May 15—John E. Degette
of Nebraska City, Neb., attempted to
commit suicide this morning about
10:30 o’clock by shooting himself at
the Victoria hotel, in the presence of
his bride of a little less than two
months. It is said that the young
couple had had a quarrel over a birth
day present which Pegette was going
to give his bride and coming to the
conclusion that she did not love him,
he decided to do away with himself.
Degette was left $150,000 by his father,
a banker cf Nebraska City, two years
ago.
One Hundred Thousand an Hour.
BUDA PEST. May 15.—M. Fuiter,
director general of the electricity com

of rapid telegraphy invented by Pol

100,000 words can be transmitted with
in an hour. Experiments showed that
even that number of words did not
limit the transmission. Telegrams,
however, must be previously perfor
ated on slips of paper in the Morse
alphabet.

boroughs to systematically work them.
James R. Brown presided at the meet

a contesting delegation of Bryan and
Chicago platform men will be sent
from this state to the next national
convention.
BLAME SANGUILLY
Cabana Say He la at the Bottom of Un
favorable Reports.
HAVANA, May 15.—General Gomez
has sent a message to Governor Gen
eral Brocke that he will do himself
the pleasure of calling at headquarters
tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock for a
further conference regarding the pay
ment of the Cuban troops. The appoint
ment for the interview is the result
of a direct inquiry as to what Gener
al Gomez intended to do in view of the
resignation and non-appearance of all
the Cuban officers nominated by him to
represent the several corps in the dis
tribution of the S3.000.000. General
Brooke is determined to disregard for
the present the reports that reach him
from various sources as to the alleged
intention of Gomez to withdraw his
co-operation and thus to throw into
confusion the carefully matured plans
for distributing the fund.
He believes that the personal inter
view tomorrow ought to adjust the
temporary perplexity. He is unwill
ing to consider Gomez as insincere or
as acting in bad faith, but the gover
nor general still retains the discretion
reposed In him by President McKinley
to abandon the effort to disband the
late insurgents with the gratuity and
to send back the entire amount to the
United States.
ine uuoan general, Kaefel Rodri
guez, speaking for Gomez today, said
that the reports of a difference with
General Brooke were absolutely un
true. The attitude of Gomez, he de
clared, had undergone no change and
the principal generals of the Cuban ar
my, as well as the rank and file, con
tinued to support Gomez as they al
ways had.
He flatly denied that there had been
any meeting of Cuban officers at
which Gomez had been present or held
with his approval where a decision
had been reached not to surrender the
arms, and he explained that all the
talk about a revolt in the army against
the surrendering of the arms was the
work of members of the former mili
tary assembly, “a group of malcontents
behind Manuel Sanguilly, who can give
no trouble and are not worth consider
ation.”
In explaining the withdrawal of the
Cuban generals who were appointed
to serve with the Americans in dis
tributing the $3,000,000 General Rodri
guez said that Rojas probably with
drew owing to the anti-Gomez influ
ence; Nodarse because General Brooke
had not appointed him civil governor
of Havana, and Monteaguedo because
he was busy in the province of Santa
Clara, giving Major General Wilson the
benefit of his co-operation there. Rod
riguez expressed himself as confident
that other officers of equal prominence
and authority would be found to act
with the Americans. As early as March
22, Gomez agreed that the arms should
be stored in the military custody of the
United States. This plan was clearly
understood by the Cubans. Neverthe
less the politicians and some of the
more restless Cuban officers are today
talking in a warlike strain, spreading
exciting stories about “taking to the
woods” Snd fighting the Americans,
and attributing to Gomez things he
never said.
Vear of Jnbilee Decreed.
WASHINGTON, May 15.—The papal
bull Issued in Rome within the last
few days decreeing that the year 1900
shall be a jubilee throughout the
church is expected here shortly and
will be announced in all churches
throughout the country.
The issuance of a bull on the subject
gives it special solemnity. It has been
the custom to hold jubilees of the
church every twenty-five years, and
at one time these were the occasion
for the gathering of vast concourses
at Rome to receive the special dispen
sations and indulgences allowed dur
ing jubilee years. It is expected, how
ever, by the highest church authorities
here that the jubilee next year will be
quite generally celebrated throughout
the world, thus giving it a more uni
versal aspect instead of being centered
at Rome, though doubtless it will lead
to many pilgrimages to Rome and the
gathering there of distinguished
churchmen.
The jubilee next year is considered
more important than that held every
twenty-five years, as it ushers in a
new century and comes at a time when
Pope Leo is old and very feeble, his
90th year having been completed in
March.
To Preserve Friendships.
SAVANNAH, Ga., May 15—The offi
ces of the Thirty-first Michigan regi
ment, which is to be mustered out of
the service next Wednesday, were
dined tonight by the officers of the
First Georgia, who were mustered out
last fall. During the time the First
Georgia was in the service it was
brigaded with the Thirty-first Michigan
and a fast frienship sprang up between
the two commands. The entertainment
tonight was given as a last token of
the hospitality of the Georgians and
a mark of their love and esteem for
the men from Michigan. Before the
Michigan regiment gets away the offi
cers expect to present a loving cup
to the officers of the First Georgia.
ti-Governor Drake 111.
CHICAGO, 111., May 15—Word was
received here that ex-Governor F. M.
Drake of Iowa is critically ill at his
home in Centerville, la. Mr. Drake
has been in ill health a number of
years but when he retired from the
presidency of the Indiana, Illinois &
Iowa railroad at the time of the sale
of the road about a year ago, his
friends hoped he would regain his
strength. He was taken seriously ill
two weeks ago and since that time has
been very low.

Revolution in the Oil Trade.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 15—It
is reported that the British steamship
Robert Dickinson, which arrived here
yesterday from Shields, in ballast, will
load a cargo of bulk oil at this pc.-t
for Calcutta, and will afterward en
gage in the oil trade. The Dickinson
will be the first tank steamship to
load oil for the far < i.st, and if the
report of the intention of her owners
is true, it indicates a revolution in
the oil shipments and marks the end
of sailing ships in the eastern oil trade.
A southern man who recently re
turned home after a visit to Boston
said to a neighbor: ‘‘You know these
here round, white beans?” The other
admitted that he did. ‘‘We feed ’em
to hosses down our way.” “Yes.”
“Well, sir, up in Boston they take
them beans, boil ’em for three or four
hours, slap a little sow belly an’ some
molasses and other truck in with ’em
and what do you suppose they do
with ’em?” “Gosh, I do’ no.” “Well,
sir,” said the first speaker, senten
tiously, “I’m d—d if they don’t eat
’em!”
A coincidence is the antiquated plea
of the plagarist.
