from tho bhoek. It is supposed that he

exhibit of tho stato fair will protest
against the action of tho judges in
awarding the first premium on county
exhibits to Furnas county. Tho pro
test will bo filed immediately on re

by tho rules, and that but three coun
ties in tho state wero entitled to be
considered in the award under tho
rules, one of these being Lincoln. Sec

Irish Liberty Proposed.
CmcAco, Sept. 20. When the Irish
delegates assembled for their second
day's work, little time was lost in pre
liminaries and the election of perma
nent officers was put through at a
rapid pace, tho following being unan
imously chosen: J. P. Pinnerty, chair-'
man; J. r. button, secretary; J. P.
Keating, T. L. H. McGrevy and J. C.
Strain, assistant secretaries; J. M.
Kennedy of Montana, C. D. O'Hrlen of
St Paul, C. P. Drlscoll of New Huven,
P. J. .ludgo of Holyo.co and Cornelius
Harding of Pittsburg, vice presidents.
When the report of tho committee
on credentials was submitted, it was
received witli some disfavor by a few
of the delegates because Dr. Paul M.
Shecdy and John Madden from the
Ancient Order of Hibernians and a
convention of tho Irish-American citi
zens of Allegheny, county, Pa., wero
refused seats. An amendment seating
tho two was offered, and trouble was
threatened for a time, but tho com
mlttco was sustained by a liberal ma
jority and tlio matter was dropped,
the claim being that tho credentials
wero not sufficient.
Considerable enthusiasm was created
by a motion to add O'Donovan Itossa
to the list of vico Presidents, but
Kossa declined.
Then Pinerty, in an address to tho
convention, declared for an Irish
American standing army which should
bo reidy to do battle for Ireland
whenever opportunity might pre ut
itself. Tho chairman's views met
with the approval of the delegates
and were supported by hearty enthus
iasm. He outlined a plun by which
young Irish-Americans throughout the
country should bo organized into mil
itary companies which would as a
wholo constitute a standing army that
might at a proper timo strike for
Irish liberty.
PENSIoiN LIST GROWING.
Over n Thousand Moro Names Added
Than Havo Horn Dropped.
Wabhixotox, Sept. 'Jo. A year ago
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
said that the limit had probably been
reached In the number of pensions, or
rather in tho amount of the yearly
appropriation for pensions, but that
for two or three years tho payments
would rcmnin about the same. It win
Ids opinion that there would bo a
slight reduction in the" number of pen
sioners on account of deaths, but that
tho allowance of tho new pension with
back pay and urrears would probably
keep tho amount about even. While
the amount of mony paid for pensions
will not bo materially different from
that of pnst years, it appears that
there has been added to the pension
rolls during the year about 1,000
names in excess of those that havo
dropped out. as there has been an in
crease, Instead of a decrease. Thcro
have been a great many outstanding
pension claims adjusted during tho
year, and that accounts for tho "largo
increa e. Tho year has not been fa
tal to pensioners, lite death rate being
less than would be anticipated at tho
timo of life at which the veterans of
tho lato war have arrived.

FIVE SHOTS AT BANKERS.
An Ex-Knnns Cashier Attempts to Ite
vrnge. tho Loss of n Salt.
NonTOX. Kan., Sept 20. In 1803 tho
Norton County Stato bank of this city,
of which Morgan Ueaton was cashier,
failed. Thcro was somo talk at tho
time of mismanagement by Hcatoiu
but the real cause was the sudden de
preciation of land values. Hcaton'a
wife owned ninety-six shares of stock.
In January, 1S91, tho bank was reor
ganized under new management, nntl
Mrs Hcaton was requested to assign
to them her stock. She refused.
Liter, sho alleged, sho did as
sign the stock to avoid a threat
ened prosecution of her husband for
embezzlement. She also signed a deed,
to tho homestead property and some
school land certificates. Sho later
brought suit to recover tho value of
the stock, S9,C00, and to set aside tho
deed to the homestead and other land,
becausothey were signed under duress.
Tho only witness by whom sho could
provo that she acted under duress,
aside from her husband, who ciuld
not testify under tho law, was John,
llrown, a notary, who took tho ac
knowledgment of tlio deeds und other
papers.
The trial'was held this week, and.
the defendants, tho Norton County
Stato bank, raised the point thnt tho
notary could not now impoich his re
turns as made at that time. The court
so held, and rendered judgment for
the defendants.
At 0 o'clock this morning, Hcaton
shot four times at J. M. Craig, ono of
the defendants, but nono of the shots
took effect. Hcaton then rati into tho
Norton County Stato bank and at
tempted to shoot tho cashier, W. T.
Shoemaker', but missed him. Hcaton
was finally arrested. Craig lives at
Plattsmouth, Neb., and is a banker
there.

NU FIGHTING IN TEXAS.
Application for Licenses Hcfofcd Despite
tho Dallas Decision.
Afsnx. Texas, Sept. 20 . Yesterday
application was made- to Comptroller
Finlcy by the tax collectors of Mc
Lcnnen and Hayes counties for prizo
fight licenses which wero promptly
refused by the comptroller at tlio in
btancc of the attorney general, who,
in a written opinion, still contends
that Judge Hurt's opinion, delivered
at Dallas last week, nullifying the
anti-prize fight law, is not binding,
and holding Judge Hurt's opinion in
error, in that it is impossible for two
conflicting provisions of a statute in
parti materia, enacted at different
times, to be in forco at one and tho
same time. The tax collectors have
appealed to tho'snnremo court for a
writ of mandamus to secure a license.
