1 he published report of the death
of the t iyht months old child of C.
X Bennett of Beatrice at the (hands
of Chri-tiau science iieaiers.
together with the circumstances
surrounding ils death, has resulted
in etirrinn' up quite a feeling
against the healers and all members
of their sect ill Beatrice. One re
suit of the agitation which now
seems will follow is that the state
medical board will take a hand in
the matter if prosecuting the
parties who are beiiie- held respon
sible for the child's death. It was
iiii'ler-tood las' eve.-inj; that the
details and a complete history of
the case, together with names of
witnesses, was beine- prepare 1 and
and will be laid belore the board,
when the- can do nothing les.- than
make a thorotie;h investigation of
the case. The people of Beatrice
who have been unwilling witnesses
of the batbanties practiced by this
baud are calling loudly for action.
The leaders of the society areyrow
inj; rich, it is said, by their alleged
Christian practices.
Hon. F. K. White, in conversation
with a IlEKALP reporter today s;iid
tluit he was not a candidate for float
representative and that he would
not have it under any considera
tion. He said as to the senatorship
from this county that he inijjht
take the nomination, but was in fa
vor of Hiving it to Dr. Wallace, lie
also said before he would become
mixed up in the (rerine;.Sheniiaii
Cushiou fijjht he would refuse to
allow his name to yo before the
convention.
The supreme lodye Knights of
Pythias, in session at Kansas City,
have decided upon Washington,
D. C, as the place to hold their
next encampment. Minneapolis,
Louisville, Ky., and Washington
were the contestants.
Jt is now possible that the shoot
ing which occurred at 3tW North
Sixteenth street, Omaha. Monday
mornini,' may be unattended with
fatal consequences. It was stated
at the Methodist hospital yesterday
that Foss Wiis no worse, and as the
i itemal bemniorhane had been sup
pressed there was a possibility of
his recovery. Laura Day is in
about the same condition as last
night and the physicians have
strong hopes of her recovery.
A IIAUK HOK'.N IX A HACK.
A young woman, whose face was
covered by a thick veil, alighted
from the Burlington train at
Omaha which came in from Lin
coin at noon yesterday, and, enter
ing a hack, asked to be driven to
the Opeti Door. The distance was
about half covered when the
driver's attention was attracted by
a succession of groans and cries
from the occupait of the vehicle.
He opened the door and found to
his surprise that he had two pas
sengers instead of one, the second
being a newly born child. Dr.
Sinners was called and had the girl
taken on to her destination. She
refused to give her name, but told
the usual story of dishonor and a
shame that she bad -one io Omaha
to conceal.

A shouting calamity howler from

day afternoon was mounted a
wagon on Silver street and delivered
a hiav effusion to a few bovs and
habitual street loafers. His talk
consisted chiefly in delendiug Van

A motto displayed nt an alliance
picnic at Aurora read: "We live on
swill, sleep like hogs l, lid work
cheaper than anybody else" Men
who w ill carry such a motto do not

lation as rapidly as adjoining
stales? A report from the census
bureau at Washington says so and
places the rate of increase on the
top notch. In Ism. there were in Ne
braska persons of both sexes be
tween the ages of five and twenty
years, inclusive, Ml, WIS. In lMKithe
number was ifSI.'J.Vi, an increase of
Vtf.'M per cent. Iowa shows an in

4:M" per cent. Out of itSLLTO in is'N)

increase in the number of persons
between the ages of eighteen and
twenty during the past ten years is
LlL'tS per cent, the number in iss)
being''i,70and in lMK),(r),:U7. Males
between the ages of eighteen and

Nebraska. In ISM there were al,l(p

Yesterday there was a case filed
in the district court entitled Robert
Trosper against the B. M., and
asking for sf'JO.CXX) damages. The
petition declares that since June,
1SSS, the plaintiff was employed as
a wiper in the B. A- M. roundhouse
at Hastings. On September I.".),
1NX), he slipped from an engine on
which he was working and was
caught in the track, breaking and
crushing two bones in his left
ankle. He was carried to a switch
house, where the local companj
surgeon, W. A. Chapman, was
called. The plaintiff says the
bones were improperly set and that
no splints were put on his foot, but
a felt bandage was applied instead.
The bones joined in a crooked man
ner and the plaintiff is now inca
pacitated from manual labor,
which would support his family in
comfort. For two or three days,
when medical and surgical attend
ance was necessary, Dr. Chapman
did not come to give him treatment.
Wherefore plaintiff prays for dam-ftfi'-

Nathan Chamberlain of Papillion,
Sarpy county, has brought suit
against bis father-in law, Claud
Potter of Omaha, for $Ul),tXX) dam
ages, charging him with breaking
up his home. The story, as told by
the petition in the case, is that on

They lived together as man and
