The State Pharmaceutical society of
Nebraska, at its recent session held in

The state banking board and Deputy
Attorney General Summers have a
large amount of business on hand. Last
week the supreme court issued a batch
of orders in the various banking cases
before it. Receiver Lamb of the Plain
view State bank was ordered to pay a
dividend of 100 cents on the dollar.
Receiver Chapman of the Bank of Ans
lev was given an order to pay a divi
dend of t’O per cent Claims must be
filed with the receiver of the Picker
ing Banking company at Steele City by
August 6, and an order was issued for
the receiver of the State Bank of
Franklin to sell a lot of real estate.
In the 100-mile race by cowboys at
Chadron out of nine horses entered,
four are dead and warrants have been
sworn out for the arrest of the parties
owning and riding the horses. It is
not known whether they will plead
guilty and pay a fine or fight the mat
ter. In all probability they will not
plead guilty and the courts will have
to say whether or not they were guilty
of cruelty under the statute. The mem
bers of the local humane society swear
vengeance on the managers of the race
and all the parties connected with it,
although some of their members wit
nessed the race and they either did not
have the stamina to stop it, or believed
that the horses were not in danger.
The state supreme court has handed
down an opinion that the eight hour
law is unconstitutional, paying: Sec
tions 1 and 3 of chapter 54 of the ses
sion laws of 18‘Jl having provided, in
effect, that for all classesof merchants,
servants and laborers, except those en
gaged in farm or domestic labor, a
day’s work should not exceed eight
hours, and that for working any em
ploye over the prescribed time the em
ployer should pay extra compensation
in increasing geometrical progression
for the excess over eight hours, the
rate of payment for the eight hours
being taken as the basis upon which to
reckon such progression; held, that
these provisions are unconstitutional;
first, because the discrimination against
farm and domestic laborers is special
legislation; second, because by the act
in question the constitutional right of
parties to contract with reference to
compensatien for services is denied.
The latest weekly crop report of
the Nebraska weather service says:
The drouth has been partially broken
by scattered local showers, and
while crops in the localities visited
by them have been greatly benefited,
the greater portion of the state is still
suffering badly for rain. Wheat, oats
and ail small grain have been seriously,
if not hopelessly injured. Meadows
and pastures are drying up. and fruit
prospect* are exceedingly p >or. Corn
is generally reported as cioing fairly
well. The acreage continues to he in
creased by farmers plowing up poor
fields of wheat and oats and replanting
jo corn.

FIGHT OVER THE RESOLUTIONS.
It is understood that there was a
big fight at the meeting of the com
mittee on resolutions over the suf
frage question, but the majority final
ly agreed upon the following:
We, the representatives oi the People s par
ty of Kanaas. in convention assembled do
hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the principles
enunciated in the Omaha platform and point
to the record of our representatives in Con
gress as an evidence of their Joyalt.v to that
platform We meet at this time under condi
tions which ->ee every prophecy then made
fultilled, and everv indictment which was
made therein against the Republican and
Democratic pirties proven
Our sympathies go out to the unemployed
homeless and landless peoDle of the country
who have been brought to their present con
dition in a great measure throu h the vicious,
un-American financial policy of this govern
ment and. we hold sacred the declaration of
independence that all men are created equal,
they are endowned by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We most heartily commend our present
state officials for their wise and oconomic ad
ministration of state affairs that has saved to
the taxpayers thousands of dollars, and the
Populistic legislators for their efforts to enact
into law every demand of the state platform ;
adopted at Wiihita in 1891
We demand the tree coinage of silver at the ;
ratio of hi to Land denounce any party that !
is so completely under the control of the gold
bugs that it dare not take a stand for the peo
ple on this all-important question, which
means so much to the wage earners and pro
ducers of our country
The comptroller's report for 1833 shows that
during the year 158 national banks suspended,
leavin : tinancial ruin in their wake, we again
reiterate our condemnation of this, the so
called best banking system the world has
ever known, and demand in its stead banks of
deposit under the control of the depositors
and the deposits guaranteed by this govern
ment.
That we are unalterably opposed to issues
of government interest-tear.n bonds, and de
mand instead the issue of full legal tender
treasury notes and the payment of the same,
together with silver money, to meet the needs
of the government.
We condemn the unwise and cruel policy of
all the tovermnent parties in r hi-» nation
who.-e lc -islation has favored capital and op
pressed labor, and we hereby declare our
sympathy with all toilers in their efforts to
imp-ove their condition, and demand such
legislation as will remove some of the burdens
of toil by short enening the hours of labor
without lessening their daily wage *
We demand national and state boards of ar
bitration to settle and adjust differences be
tween the employers and the employes and
we further demand that where the property
of a corporation has been placed in the hands
of a receiver, the wages of the employes shall
be a first lein on its earnings and effects and
we denounce the appointment of officials or
parties interested as receivers of any corpora
tion.
We demand service pension graduated so
the man who carried the musket shall be en
titled to the same consideration as the man
who wore the epaulette, and said law to be so
framed that it will place forever beyond the
powcV of any official who is unfriendly toward
the Union soldiers and sailors to change, sus
pend. or in any wav deprive the soldier of his
just dues which this government owes him
for defending with his life our country and
fia *■.
We favor a state irrigation department
to investigate methods and water sup
plies and encour ige more extended irrigation.
We dem nd a freight rate bill based on the
line of the maximum freight rate bill parsed
by the senate and afterward defeated by the
Republican house, and quote in proof of the
need < f such law the plank of the" Republican
platform adopted at their state convention in
189-J. which we adopt and make a part of this
demand, to-wit:
“We insist that the creat transportation
companies \vh eh derive their corporate exist
ence lrom Kansas laws, and their financial ex
istence from Kansas trade and commerce, owe
to the people of Kansas fair, equitable and
honest treatment in the matter of freight
rates, and we are opposed to the inequitable
and oppressive discrimination in the adjust
ment of such rates by said companies whereby
the merchants.shippers and consumers of other
states are enricho 1 at the expense and to
the injury of the people of Kansas, and we
demand of the next legislature the utmost
diligence in enacting appropriate legislation
providing therefor to the end that agricul
tural mercantile and other inrerests of Kan
sas shall be placed on a footing of equalit v,
so far as freight rates are concerned, with the
like interests in adjoining states believing al
power is vested in t'ne people and that all
laws of vital importance should be initiated
ana approved or disapproved by them There
fore we endorse the initiative and referendum
system.”

ule— Washington News
Washington, June I 4.—Mr. Perkins
of California, at the opening of the
senate to-day, briefly defended the
memory of the late behind Stanford
from the charge made by Representa
tive Geary, a few days ago, that he
had founded the Stanford university
out of a spirit of revenge and resent
ment because lie had not been elected
a trustee of the university of Califor
nia. When lie was governor of Cali
fornia ho (Mr. Perkins) had appointed
Mr. Stanford a regent of the universi

few visitors without coming into his
office and has been engaged in some
routine and easy work.
COMMONWEALERS GUILTY.
Judge Thomas > s Poivn the Law to
the Train Stealers.
Leavenworth . lvas.. J nn e 14. —Judge
Thomas of the United States district
court found Captain John A. Ralston,
Color Sergeant Frank E. Woods and
Commissary Ed Hart, leaders of the
baud of C'oxeyites who.siezed a Union
Pacific train at Watkins, Col., and
were captured at Ellis, Kan., guilty
of contempt in that they interfered
with a road in the hands of receivers.
Judge Thomas held that the actions
of these coinmonwealers in boarding
a Union Pacific train in large num
bers over the objections of the train
men and in insisting upon riding on
the train after being ordered off was
equivalent to actual force and con
stituted an interference with the op
eration of trains in the hands of the
receivers which could not be tol
erated and that these acts amounted
to a contempt of court. Sentences
will be announced hereafter.
THE BLACK PLAGUE’S HAVOC.
Two of China's Greatest Cities Ravaged
by the Scourge.
Vancotver, British Columbia. June
14.—The steamship Empress of Japan

great plague in London in the seven

CRIMINALS SET FREE.
Freedom After Twenty Tears of Confine*
meat.
Kansas Citv, Mo.,June 11.— For the
first time in twenty years Arthur
Winner of Kansas City and Joseph W.
McNutt will at sunrise to-morrow
morning be free men. They went
into the Kansas penitentiary as boys
twenty years ago to-morrow, sen
tenced to bo hanged, and they will
leave it to-morrow men well along in
middle life. They will leave behind
them only one man who was there be
fore the penitentiary gate closed be
hind them.
The Winner and McNutt case is
probably the most famous in the crim
inal history of Kansas. Early in 1873
Winner and young McNutt went to
Wichita, Kan., and started a paint
siiop. Winner was 19 years old and
McNutt was 29. Soon afterward Mc
Nutt insured his life in favor of
Winner for S?r>,000. One night a few
months after the young men
settled in Wichita some one dis
covered that their shop was on
fire. The people of the town turned
out and extinguished the fire, but
McNutt was missing. The partly
burned body of a man was found in
the ruins of the building. Winner de
clared that it was McNutt, but the
people of Wichita did not believe
him. The body was recognized as
that of a tramp known as “Texas.”
The sudden departure of McNutt and
tlie fact that his life insurance was in
favor of Winner, though McNutt was
married and father of a child, excited
so much suspicion that Winner was
arrested the next day. A few weeks
later McNutt was captured in the
woods in Newton county. Mo. They
were tried for murder. The evidence
was so convincing that they were con
victed, and sentenced by Judge W.
1’. Campbell, now department com
mander of Kansas, to be hanged,
under the law they went to the peni
entiary for life.
A letter written by McNutt’s wife,
then living in Kansas City, played an
important part in the trial. .She had
been informed of the plot by her hus
band and on the morning after the
murder a letter was found from her
imploring him not to commit the
crime. In that letter were these
words which led to the conviction of
her husband and his accomplice: “if
you carry that on we will all be
ruined. Before I will have the name
of murdering and stealing for wealth, !
I will beg on my hands and knees.”
She said she had only one dime left in j
the world and site sent it as a Christ
mas present to het husband with her !
blessing.
The young men began to serve their |
sentence June 10, 1874, just twenty j
years ago. McNutt’s wife secured a
divorce and a few years later was
married again. She is living in Clay j
county, Missouri, and lias a family of
growing children.
OKLAHOMA’S MONSTROSITY.
A Girl Babjr Makes Its Advent in Jones*
ville With Two Heads.
South Enid, Ok.,June 11.—Mrs. Mc
Man, wife of a justice of the peace in
the first addition north, called Jones
ville, gave birth yesterday afternoon
to a srirl baby which had two heads.
They were about equal size and were
in an inverse order, that is, the faces
were in opposite directions. The
eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the
head which faced backward were not
perfect, as it could not breathe, see,
hear, taste nor smell. The scalp,
however, was perfect. Dr. Koiscon,
the attending physician, cut olf the
head facing backwards and the baby
is doing well. He thinks it may live.
Kelly oa the March.
Caiko, 111., June 11.—The shot gun
quarantine which has been main
tained by this city for the past two
days against Kelly’s industrial navy
has resulted favorably to the city.
Reduced to destitution and his men
deserting him in la-ge numbers, Kelly
yesterday accepted a proposition from
a committee of citizens to march at
3 p. m. He received two days’ rations
and transportation for his luggage to
the county line. It is supposed the
crowd will try to reach a point on the
Ohio river near Paducah, Ky.
