Mr. B. Whitwer , whose farm is situ

us a fine specimen of alfalfa Saturday ,

in the season and with no more favor
able season than we have had' this
year.

The farmers of Lincoln county
have been troubled considerably by
scab on potatoes , generally supposed
to be the work of worms. A farmer
has said this can be prevented by plant
ing potatoes on new ground every year ,
or ground that has not been used for
potatoes for several years. Never
plant two successive crops on the same
ground , as the decaying tops and roots
ot the plants appear to breed the
worms , and they infest the ground for
fully two seasons after the crop has
been grown.

Sioux FALL ? , S. D. , May 29. Plen
ty Horses is a free man and will today
leave for the reservation , proud of the
distinction of having deliberately mur
dered one of the bravest officers in the
United States army , Lieutenant Ed ward
Casey.
The last day of the trial was fraught
with exciting events. The defense
first aroused the indignation of the
court by giving the reason why Living
Bear , father of Plenty Horses , had not
been brought to the court , although a
bench warrant was issued for his ar
rest. It seems the deputy entrusted
with the warrant slipped : i cog in his
moral conduct when he reached Sioux
City and lost two days in his reckoning
of time. The court announced that
the matter would be thoroughly sifted.
Following this came the attempted
suicide of White Moon , a Cheyenne
witness for the prosecution. White
Moon was with Casey when Plenty
Horses fired the fatal shot , and the de
fense introduced testimony questioning
the reliability of White Moon's testi
mony. Some one explained to the
Cheyenne the consequence of. perjury
and he brooded over the matter until
he took a jack-knife and stabbed him
self in the base of the neck on the left
side. A\ hen found the blade , about
three inches lon'g , was still sticking in
the wound. Physicians were called
and he is now on a fair way to re
covery.
Judge Shiras delivered the charge to
the jurors instructing them to bring in
a verdict of not guilty. He explained
that Judge Edgerton disagreed with
him on the proposition of instructing
for an acquital , but the instructions to
be given , however , were to be consid
ered those of the court. The charge
was quite lengthy , lie declared that
in his opinion actual Avar existed at the
time of Casey's death.
Immediately upon adjournment Plen
ty Horses was surrounded by ladies
and other spectators , who shook hands
with him for some time , after which
Attorney Powers with beaming face
led his still silent and undemonstra
tive client to his hotel , where Plenty
Horses spent some hours' time in writ-
lutographs for bystanders.
The testimony given by Capt. Bald-
ivin aide Gen. Miles , was an import-
int feature in establishment of the fact
) f war.He came with all the official
papers of the war department bearing
apon the circumstances previous to
md at the time of Casey's death , and
iithough the documents had only been
> ffered by the defense and the admis
sion not been decided upon by the
: ourt , the captain's own testimony
, vas of the same character.
) maii.i Doctors Char-red with Murder.
OMAHA , May 29. At 1:30 o'clock
his morning the patrol wagon laden
vith officers quietly left the police sta-
ion and drove to the residence of Dr.
r. A. Williams , of the Omaha Medical
'nstitute. A ring at the door bell was
mswered by Mrs. Williams. Detec-
ive Haze and Sergeant Ormsby stated
hat they had come to arrest Dr. Wil-
iams. The officers were admitted and
he doctor was immediately taken into
; ustody. After leaving Dr. Williams
.t the station the wagon drove to the
) maha Medical Institute on Ninth
street and placed Dr. Isaac Sinclair
and President A. T.McLaughlin under
arrest.
Ail the parties were booked at the
station and charged with murder. The
facts are :
In February last Miss Isabella Bea
ver , a young lady living at Platts-
mouth , Neb. , was brought to Omaha
to have a criminal operation performed
by the faculty of the institute. Miss
Beaver died at the institute on the
second day of her illness. February 8.
Dr. Sinclair signed the death certifi
cate , stating the case of death as the-
amhasis emhaiisen. The remains were
taken to Plattsmouth for burial. Last
evening Detective Haze and Coroner
Harrigan procured an engine and made
a flying trip to Plattsmouth.
With the aid of a couple of laborers
the grave was opened , the body taken
out and an investigation made by Dr.
Harrigan. The investigation showed
that Miss Beaver died from the effects
of ' a criminal operation performed at
the institute by the doctors named.
It is claimed that the institute people
ple told the unfortunate woman that a
criminal operation was absolutely nec
essary to save her life. Upon that
statement , which she believed to be
true , Miss Beaver consented to be
placed under the knife. She died from
the effects of the operation , and on ac
count of the cause stated in the death
certificate no investigation was ever
made.
When arrested Dr. Williams mani
fested no surprise , going quietly with
the officers. Drs. Sinclair and McLaughlin -
Laughlin were dragged from their
beds and were exceedingly loth to ac
company the officers. None of the
party would speak about the case and
were locked up without making any
explanation or defense.

DETKOIT , Mich. , May 30. In tli
Presbyterian general assembly yeste :
day the debate on Dr. Briggs was n
sumed and Judge S. K. . Breekenridg
of St. Louis , member of the commute
on theological seminaries and one <
the most eminent lawyers in the soutl
stated the points in the case. Yeai
ago , he said , the Union seminary wa
independent , but in 1885 it becam
Presbyterian , and of course the assen
bly controlled the appointments. ]

never can. Dr. Logan's amendmer
for deferring action is practicable. W
view the transfer from one chair t

approve. I think it is wise not to as

not give all the reasons for his deck

the mind of the church for some month
past has been anxious that we shoul
relieve it. " His last words were : "Now
gentlemen , I feel that I have dis
charged my duty and wish to be ex
cused from further speaking. " Reach
ing for a glass of water he threw ui
his hands and fell , striking his heai
heavily on the floor.
After the judge had been carried t <
the ante-room the debate was arrested
and when , a few moments afterwards
physicians in the audience who hurrie <
to his aid pronounced him dead , tin
assembly voted to do no further busi
ness , and instead of a banquet in th <
rink this evening they held a praye :
meeting in Fort street church.

Military View of Plenty
Ilelrnse.
CHICAGO , May 30. Inquiry at th <
military headquarters in this city con
cerning the trial of Plenty Horses foi
Lhe killing of Lieutenant Casey eiic-
.ted the following statement :
The facts of the case are that , iJ
: here was a condition of hostilities
prevailing , it existed during the latter
) art of December and January while
nformation was being sent to the hos-
lies that the only safe road was to re-
.urn to the agency and surrender.
Orders were given to the troops tc
> ress them on all sides and force them
xiek to the agency. Lieutenant Casey
vas in no sense a spy , although in
jivilized warfare his capture might
perhaps have been justiiiabie. He was
lot in the enemy's camp or in any way
iisguised. He wore the uniform oi
.ne United States army officer in the
jxecution of his duties as such. He
vas reconnoitering the country and
grounds and portions of the enemy's
; amp , and was killed by one of the
lostile Indians. In a war betwe.cn
: ivilized nations the manner of his
willing wouid probably be considered
> y what is known as a military com-
nission. The hostile Indian who killed
dm was arrested on an order issued
> y General Miles long before any civil
ndictment was found again"st " him or
icfore it was safe for any sheriff or
J. S. marshal to go through thatcoun-
ry with a posse of civil officers. He
i-as sent to Fort Mead and placed in
he guard house by a military escort ,
n order that , he might be subject to a
ivil tribunal for them to determine
he important question of justification
r non-justification of his taking the
ife of Lieut. Casey. He was not with-
.eld for the time by Gen. Miles , but
y order of the war department. The
rst question for a court to decide
rould be whether the Indians in a
tarving condition and under treaties
iolated , can make war against the
Inited States.
Secondly , when in a condition ol
ostility as to their immunity from
-ial for taking the life of an officer in
le discharge of his duty. The pro = -
cution in the trial of Plenty Horses
sked for information as to the status
f affairs existing at that time and re-
3ived all the information that the
lilitary could give them. The defense
Iso aslced for information and receiv-
I it in the same way , and the whole
latter has been left for a judge and
velve intelligent jurymen to execute
ic law and ati'ord justice to ail con-
jrned. A warm friendship existed
2tween Gen. Miles and the murdered
iicer , and Gen. Miles once offered
im a position on his staff , which was
sluctantly declined for reasons that
ere uuderstood and approved by the
irmer.

The ' 'Charleston" Hoard From.
WASHINGTON" , May 29. The navj
department has received its first new :
from the Charleston since she left Ac-
apuico , Mexico , the first of last week ,
in continued pursuit of the Itata.
When the vessel failed to touch a ;
Panama within the time expected the
department said that it was very prob
able that it had been decided to keep
on straight down the coast and that
the Charleston would first be heard of
at some Peruvian port. This predic
tion is fulfilled , for the port at which
the Charleston announced her arrival
is Callao. The whereabouts of the
Itata is as far from being known as
before the Charleston was heard from ,
us Capt. Remy , her commander , re
ported that he had seen nothing of the
[ tata on his cruise down the coast.
The Charleston will join the squad-
on under Admiral McCann in Chilian
ivaters , and it is surmised that a re-
lort will at no very distant date come
.hence announcing the peaceful sur-
ender by the insurgents of the elusive
: raft which the United States govern-
nentill belibei. perhaps , ana forfeiter
or violation of our neutralitv laws.
He Talks of the Third Party.
MADISON , Wis. , May 27. Railroad
Commissioner H. A. Taylor , in a letter
o the State Journal of this city , says
f the people's party inaugurated at
Cincinnati : "The convention at Cin-
innati had no rightful claim to be
ailed a national convention. In it we
ind men who have prominence neither
n political or business circles. The
nen of brain , of integrity and states-
nanship , the men who have organized
.nd controlled our great financial en-
erprises , who have enacted our laws
.nd devoted lives of fidelity to all le
gitimate public interests , have not
aised their voices in the clamor of
: iscontent which comes from the Cin-
innati convention. I cannot believe
hat any considerable number of the
eading men of the great political par
ies of the country will be found in the
anks of the new party. It will be
aade up largely of , pet-hups , weil-
aeaning , but misinformed men. who
rill be used as tools by those having
othing to lose and everything to gain
hrough discontent and cisintegra-
ion. "
Had to Hayp Tivo
V YOKK. May 27. When Mar-
aretMulhaney used to wabble through

t her. Margaret was 5-3 years old
nd weighed (550 pounds. Her hus-
and was dead and she : : t one time
.ved with an only daughter. She had
falling out with her child and went
) live with a cousin. Three months
go her flesh was accumulating at such
pace that she was unable to move
bout. Heart disease set in and on
aturday Mrs. Muihaney died. The
ndertaker found it impossible to put
ic huge body on ice , so it was em-
aimed. The funeral took place yes-
; rday. A crowd had gathered in the
ireet expectiug serious difficulty in
etting the body out of the house , and
ley were not disappointed. An orci-
ary coffin is 16 inches wide and 13
igh. A plain cloth covered box 31
iches wide and 20 inches high in-
losed the corpse. The hallway being
B inches wide the box had to be tipped

strained every muscle to carry it out
" of the hallway. The task lasted -JO-
minutes. No hearec was big onouirh
to accommodate the coffin and an uii'
dertakcr's wagon carried the body to
Calvary cemetery , followed by live
carriages of mourners. A grave is or
dinarily dug 2-1 inches wide. Ground
had been bought for two graves , giving
a width of 48 inches. Seventeen of

Funds for thr .N < - \ \ ' Ntatrs.
WASHINGTON , May I'D. Uny : one of
the four new states ncmitteii at one
time has availed itself of the privilege
of drawing from the treasury 5 per
cent of the proceeds of thesaie of pub
lic lands. All states now admitted to-
the union are entitled to this money.
Dakotas and Montana , although enti
tled to draw for the fiscal \ear ending
June oO , 1890 , have not availed tnem-
seives of this money. Wnslmicrum
drew about $ 25,000 the oilier day.
This was because the governor and
otlier state ollicers were pressing for
this fund. No effort has oeen made-
by the proper accounting ollioers to-
ascertain what the Daicoias and Mon
tana \\ould be entitled to and it is in
tended to allow the matter to stand
until the present fiscal year can be in
cluded with the previous year. Thid-
will delay any payment until aooutsix
or eight months from now. as tne re
ports from all the land otlices must be
received and compiled b < : 'oi-e ; t state M
ment can be forwarded to tno treasury
department. If the state otliccrs make-
*
a demand for this money and properly
press their claims they will iret the
money that is now due them , although
the clerks who will be obliged to rnako
out the account will no doti'H complain
about the work that it will cause.
They do not care to be pushed about ,
such matters.
