Wednesday evening with $3,C30.
Hy the description sent here, a
man came in on the K. C. train last
evening that corresponded with the
description. He got off the train,
went up the alley by L. Boedeker's
saloon, then came down Third
street and went into the Perkins
house, just as Officer Filzpati ick
came up the street with a "bum,"
taking him to jail.
Johnny said he recognized hi.n
by the description given, but
thought he would take the prisoner
over to the jail and come back and
get the man supposing he would
take supper at the Perkins house,
but the man only stayed in the
I'erkins house about two minutes
and then skipped.
The fellow stayed in the ciiy all
nigbt, and when the flyer pulled
out this morning the switchmen
say they saw the man .board the
train. One thousand dollars was
offered for the fellow's arrest.
WHO WILL BE GOVERNOR?
A Disputed Pom. Around Which
the NextGivatfrtruggla Prom
ises to Hing-j.
The following; is taken from the
Lincoln Jouanal:
The recent review of the status of
the irubcrnatorial contest, as
j interview referred to it was shown
that Governor Thayer began pro
ceedings to oust Governor Boyd'on
the ground that he was not a citi
zen; that Governor Boyd filed an
answer alleging that his father was
naturalized in 1854. and that he
himself became a citizen when Ne
braska was admitted - as a state;
that Governor Thayer filed a de
murrer, thereby admitting Boyd's
allegation that his father was duly
naturalized; when the Nebraska
supreme court sustained the de
murrer, thereby saying if all Boyd
alleged were true it was not a good
defense in the action. In this con
dition the case went to the United
States supreme court; that the lat
ter, without deciding that Bo3d
was a citizen, but instead holding
that the records, because Tha3er's
admissions solely for the purpose
of the demurrer, showed him to be
a citizen-because of his allegation
that his father was duly natural
ized, held that the demurrer should
not have been sustained. The in
terview demonstrated that the
court was evenly divided upon the
question of Boyd's citizenship
through his residence in the state
when it was admitted, and it also
showed that three of the seven
justic es who concurred in the opin
ion held simply that the record as
sent up showed him to be a citizen
and would probably hold other
wishes when the case came back if
Boyd were not able to show con
clusively that his father was dulj
naturalized as stated. Wherefore it
was reasoned that the justice here
after to be appointed to succeed
Justice Bradley would cast the de-
i : i . t. : : -i , : i
ia iu uuju viiwuoni
or lack thereof, as it is very prob
able that Justice Bradley's suc
cessor will have been appointed ere
the case can again reach the
United States supreme court.
Several attorneys have since been
encountered who have called at
tention to a point that is likely to
lead to further contention. They
reasoned that, as Governor Boyd
was removed from his seat when
the Nebraska supreme court sus
tained the demurrer, he would
probably be reinstated, now that the
United States supreme court has
declared that the demurrer was
wrougfully'sustained.
While this view of the situation
commends itself as logical, still a
large proportion of local attorneys
consulted yesterday deny that it is
at all a certainty that it is correct.
Among them were some of the best
attornej-s in the city. The inquiry
developed the belief among local
attorneys that upon this very
phase of the situation will occur
the next exciting contest, Governor
Boyd's friends will contend that he
ought to be put back into the chair,
just as he was before the demurrer
was sustained by the Nebraska
supreme court, ere ine case goes
any further. It is the belief of
Governor Thayer's friends that his
attorneys will oppose this.
It was the general expression
among attorneys consulted, how
ever, that little could be surmised
s to the probable settlement of th 1
question until the mandate of the
federal supreme court has been re
ceived and construed by the
supreme court ot Nebraska. It ia
also more or less generally con-
! ceded that, lese Governor Boyd se
; cures the seat in this manner, he
never will be seated by virtue of the
election 01 low, as tne cnances ap
pear to be that, unless he can prove
that his fattier was naturalized as
claimed, which is deemed hardly
probable, the federal court will not
declare him to have been a citizen.
Change In Firm.
The hardware firm of Weidmann
& Brekenfeld doing a general hard
ware business in this city was yes
terday dissolved by mutual con
sent. Mr. Brekenfeld continuing
the business. Mr. Weidman will
turn his attention to another line
of business.
Mr. Brekenfeld will put in a large
stock of hardware and continue
business at the old stand where he
will sell goods as cheap as the
cheapest.
Democratic Lord's Prayer.
The following bears rather hard
on strong democratic paitisans, but
it is given for what it is worth:
Our father who are in England,
Free Trade be thy name. Thy king
dom come in America, as it is in
Ireland and India, and all other
countries subject to thy jurisdic
tion. Give us this day, pauper
labor, free trade, unprotected man
ufactories and democratic economy,
as we have in Indiana. Forgive
our enemies for passing the McKin
ley bill, as we forgive them for
giving us free sugar aud "high pro
tection on luxuries." Lead us not
to see the error of ourway, but give
us free wool and cotton, ho that the
laborer may get his clothing at
''just the present price i
.arilf." And deliver us fr
tctiool teacliers trotn V- to $2.00 per
day, but reduce them to 75 cents
and $1.10, on an equal with the day
laborer. Give us, Oh! father in
England, all we have asked, and
more too, and thy praise we shall
sing "world without end," so you
may govern America forever.
Amen.- -Ex.

A Distinction with a OI (Terence.
John B. Furay was once a postoffice
inspector and on one occasion was sent
down into Louisiana to take charge of
an ottice from which the postmaster
had decamped. A light arose over the
vacant position.says the Omaha World,
during the progress of which Maj.
Furay remained acting postmaster in
the quagmires of Louisiana, devoting
all his spare time to shaking with the
orthodox ague.and the longer the man
stayed the more he shook, and the
more he shook the more profane he
waxed. He had been there three weeks
or more, when one morning while the
fog was arising from around tlie little
postoflice Inspector Furay sat astride a
keg of buttermilk, reading "Pilgrim s
. . . o
llie swamp entered.
A solitary suspender band held up a
pair of blue jeans jants, a white felt
hat of doubtful aire rested on the
I man's head and his feet were incased
in a pair of cowhides reddened by age
"Howdy, pard," said the stranger,
addressing the inspector, "be you the
federals' agent?"
"I am the postoflice inspector," re
plied Maj. Furay without looking up,
as he waded into "Paradise Regained."
"I am the new postmaster," said the
stranger, tendering his commission.
"Well, I'll be !" was the only re
ply, as the inspector dropped his book
1 to the ground and gazed at the visitor.
xes, sir," continued tne stranger,
squirting a mouthful of tobacco juice
on the inspector's new trousers. "Yes,
sir. and I've come to be qualified."
Rising to his feet, Furay sighed, in
spected his visitor from head to foot
and exclaimed:
"Sly friend, I am but human. lean
only swear you in. All couldn't
qualify you."
He Saw Double.
He had been on a toot the night be
fore and the next niorninr. when he
met a friend of his on Jefferson ave
nue, he was feeling rather rocky.
"Ah!" remarked the friend, "how are
you this morning?" He shook his
head dolefully. "Sick?" asked the
friend. "No, not exactly," he said,
"but bilious, and I see two things
when there ought to be only one."
"See double, do, you?" .Yes." The
other man shoved his hand into 'his
pocket and, pulling out a $5 bill, hand
ed it to him. "What's this for?" he
asked. "It's to pay that flO I owe
vou." The double-visioned man rub
bed his eyes a minute. "Ugh!" he
grunted, "f wasn't quite that drunk, I
uess." ''v'.' rnc Pre as.

' Below Zero."
That ooDular comedy, "Below
Zero," was presented at the Pythian
ooera house last nicrht to a fair
and very enthusiastic audience.
The singing and dancing were un
usuallv o-ood. Everv member of
f tr "
the company, be it justly said to
their credit, acted their parts well.
Manager Murrell is to be congrat
ulated on makinsr a date with this
excellent troupe, and from the re
pea ted encore and the numerous
times some of the members were
recalled those who saw the
play will not have any cause to re
gret the expense and time spent
Miss Eloise Wellard is worthy of
SDecial mention. She is a charm
ing sou brette with a roice far above
the average singers and completely
cantured the audience with her
sweetness of manner. Space will
not permit us to particularize
further, but suffice to say that the
company is a very strong one. Pine

"Below Zero" appears at the
