Dwyer, of IMattamouth, found another Daniel come to judgment ' here today. Tliev appeared before Justice Fox to defend in one of the numerous attachment suits brought against the 1$. & M. employes, resi dents of Plattsmouth, by a Sioux City collection agency, When the case came up for trial the attorneys for the defendants asked for a trial by jury, which they claimed they jfwere entitled according to a great (jmany decisions of the supreme court. The justice ruled against them and said the cases must be tried to the court. This was the be ginning of the trouble which lasted all through the trial. Several de cisious of the court being con strued by the attorneys us unjust to themselves and clients, at the close of the trial there was a formal declaration of war, Attorneys Wool ley and Dwyer filing an objection to the trial of any of the remaining cases by Judge Fox, alleging as the ground of their objection that he was "non compos mentis, not com petent to try the cases properly." The justice thereupon proceeced to enter up a decision on his re cord, fining them $10 each for con tempt of court and sending them to the county jail for one day in de fault of payment. Wooley requested that he be given time to consult an attorney and this was granted by the court. A little later he returned to the court room with attoruey J. J. Stewart' who, in addressing the court said that the attorney's had no intention of committing a con tempt of court, but they were of the opinion that ex-Justice Swearingen, from whom the case had been tak en on a change of venue, who oc cupied a seat on a box besides Jus tice Fox during the trial, was hav ing altogether to much of a hand in the trial. i i At this point Swearinger reached over and picked up an inkstand from the desk in front of him. The prospects were that Stewart's brains would presently be painting design in crimson on the floor of the room. He dodped but the dodge was useless, for if the ex justice had any intention of throw ing the inkstand at his enemy he reconsidered it before it was ever lasting too late and contended him eelf with remonstrating with Stewart, in a rather energetic fash ion. Stewart then presented the court with a paper embodying the statements which he had made in behalf of his clients, asking per mission to withdraw the aflidavit in which had applied the term "non compos mentis" to the court, and in short, taking back everything. The attorneys then asked the court to expunge the record of the contempt proceedings. Justice Fox was not willing to forgive nndjorget everything, but offered to reduce the fine to $5, Wooley offered to take the respon sibility for everything that had occurred if only Dwyer might be released. At last, after some tall speechifying had been done, the justice agreed to take the matter under advisement until Saturday morning, when he shall decide whether or not the contempt pro ceedings shall be quashed.

ONE OK HAYES'NAXIMS. liKliiinupoli Jiiiiriiul. Kx-President Hayes was the author of one of the best political maxims on record. It was he who said: "He serves his party best who serves his country best." The expression occurs in his inaugural address. In urging the necessity of civil service reform and fidelity to public trust he said: "The president of the United States of 'necessity owes his elec tion of office to the sufferage and .ealous labors of a political party, the members of which cherish with nrder and regard as of essential im portance the principles of their party organization. But it should strive always mindful of the fact that he serves his party best, who serves his coutry best.

Mosher Tells His Story, to the Grand Jury. SAYS HE IS DONE FOR. I While Tell.nu: Hla Story to the Grand Jury He Cries He Was a Whole sale Robber But Was De tected to Soon. Mosher Arrested. 1.1X1 OLN. Neb., Jan. 27 -The grand jury has found live indictments against Mosher, in connection with the Capital National bank. He is in the custody of United States Mar shal Slaughter and is detained in his room at the Lincoln hotel. It is stated that Mosher has pur sued a course of systematic forgery removing original papers and re placing them with forged ones with obt tho knowledge of the cashier, who supposed the papers were all right. Mosher told the grand jury that he had lost the money in the Western Manufactur ing company; that he had found it necessary to put in new depart ments of manufacture at the peni tentiary and replaced old plants with new ones. He said it had taken a vast amount of money and that he saw nothing but ruin ahead if he did not succeed, and thought the investment would have proven all right had he been able to keep his head above water for a while longer but Was compelled to steal by the wholesale and got to the end of the rope before he was out of the breakers. He rattled along with his story, sobbing and crying and be fore he was down the eyes of the jurors were wet with sympathetic tears. It is stated that the friends of Mosher, called upon him and of fered to put $100,000 at his disposal to stem the tide but this he refused saying that nothing could save him It is rumored, however, that his attorneys are figuring on saving the prison contract. The legisla ture has practically determined to take the matter entirely out of poli tics. The present contractor is un der indictment by the federal grand jury, while the manage, is under indictment by the state, and the fact has gone forth that the period of political indulgences is nearly at an end. The grand jury is going into the matter beyond the connection of Mother with the case, and will dip into the penitentiary contract, as well as into all the other assetts of the institution. There are grave rumors that the evidence already introduced seriously effects a num ber of Lincoln citizens. The trial is a hot one, and the grand jury will probe to the bottom. Mosher will not be allowed to shoulder the full responsibility as he desires to do, unless it is demonstrated that others cannot be criminally con nected with it. The buying up of claims by scalp ers has been going on all day. Among those thus disposed of was a $16,000 claim of Humphrey Bros., which was sold to Nels C. Brock. It has been supposed that the scalpers could not be thus invested unless they had a tip from the in side and knew what they were about, but a "way-down deep" tip to night advises all having claims to dispose of them for what they can get, if it is not more than 65 cents on a dollar. It is stated that this is based on what the grand jurv has discovered, and which reperseuts the situation as far less promising than has beeu supposed up to this time. The Governor's Proclamation. Lincoln. Xeb. Jan., 27-Govemor Crounse yesterday issued his pro clamation declaring Beatrice a city of the first class. This was Uoe as the result of Mavnr Pi.iii;,,., i... j ... . i ' -.-ingcomeplled by writ of mandamus io ceruiy 10 tne governor that Beat rice had a population of more than 10,000 ns shown by the last census. The proclamation was issued by the governor under date of I a mi. ary 20. As the affair cutniinated in a lawsuit there are rumors to the effect that the opposition to makt wig the city one of the first class will take further action, but it is generally believed that the case is settled for all time. The governor's proclamation reads as follows; Whereas, a certificate has this day been filled in the executive office by the mayor of the city of Beatrice, in the state of Nebraska, wherein it is certified that the said city of Beatrice contains a popula tion of more than ten thousand and less than twenty. live thousand iu. habitants (13.S23I as shown by the census and enumeration taken by authority of the laws of the United States in the ve sir A.

HKOKK l'I A MEKTIXC. Lafayette, Ind.. Jan. 2tv-Profes-sor George P. Rudolph, formally a Catholic priest at Cleveland, O., at tempted to lecture at the opera house this evening under the au spices of the American protective association: "Why I Left the Rom ish Church." Soon after the opening of the discourse a mob broke in a rear door of the house and rushed on the stage and attacked the speaker. Rudolph was knocked down and raising drew tt revolver and fired two shots. This brought a regular fusilade from all parts of the house, which was crowded. A stampede at once ensued, and while screams rent the air, a rush was made for the doors. Many ladies were bruised and thrown down in an etfort to escape. The crowd was ejected from the place and Rudolph continued his lecture. The sheriff appointed a number of deputies, but they were unable to keep the crowd in the gallary quiet and the meeting was adjourned. Between fifteen or twenty shots were tired but no one was hit. The mob wait ed outside, but under strong guard Rudolph was placed in a closed carriage and escorted to his hoard iughouse. Interest was awakened Tuesday in the subject of reapportionment by the introduction of a resolution by Representative Suter, independ out, calling for a joint committee to report on the question of an appor tionment for senatorial and legisla tive districts. The resolution was re'erred to a committee. It will be remembered that two years ago the legislature neglected to apportion, the parties not agreeing. JAs the constitution pro vides for an apportionment at the first session after each state or U. S. census enumeration. Two years was deemed the proper time but now it would be illegal. The inde pendents are to blame as they had a good working majority. The resolution as offered is in line with the following parargaph in Governor Boyd's retiring message: The last legislature neglected to reapportion the state into senatorial and legislative districts, as required by law. Whether your honorable body as the successor of the body which failed to discharge its duty, is competent to adopt a reapportion ment act is a question. In my judg ment, after consulting with eminent legal authority, you shouldpass such an act, leaving the supreme court to determine its constitution ality if the question should be af terwards raised. I hold that such a reapportionment should be made in compliance, not only with the spirit of the law, but also in justice to sections of the state, which, be cause of the increased development are not adequately represented uu dcr the present act.

His virtues were extolled in poems, and constant reference was made to his good looks, wisdom, stature and to his re peated victories over the Turks.

"But you are so forgetful, Goorge, and and if you should forget to take the cigar out of your mouth you might even a slight burn on my check, you know, would cause comment." The cigar went into the grate, and a minute later there was nothing but a blush on a fair cheek to indicate that George would take a broad hint. De troit Free Press. Longevity In England. The death rate in the Peak of Derby shire is bo low that the district rivals in salubrity the American village which was so extraordinarily healthy that the inhabitants who wished to "shnflle off this mortal coil" had to migrate into a neighlioriiig town. The mortality at Buxton is nine per 1,000; at the adjacent hamlet of Flash it is said that death takes only the very young and very old, the infant end the patriarch. The sexton can almost tell whoso grave he will next dig. In a similar maimer at Ednle, un der the shadow of Kinderscout, death goes by seniority. At Tideswcll, also In the "Peake Conn trie," there was, quite recently, the fu neral of a man sixty-four years of age, whose father and mother were still liv ing in the parish, having la-en married sixty-seven years.
