THE sheriff of Lawrence , ran. , conveys - veys the pleasant information to Lin- coln's police officials that a man calling himself by the euphonious name of Bill Duly , but who is in reality James Jones , has broken jail at that point and is now headed toward this state. 1 It is believed that Mr. Jones once lived in Lincoln. SHERIFF DREXEL of Douglas county reports that Anton Bcnecker , the man who was given fivcyears at Lincoln for assisting in disposing of stolen property - erty , is confident of securing a pardon.

JOHN CILUIBERS , a duly authorized ' ' nent for the Boyd County Aid society , was in Omaha last week looking up aid for his people.

EVERYBODY is saying what phenomenal - nal weather this is But the old inhabitant - habitant , says the McCook Tribune , - who has lived in Nebraska for the past I sixty years , knows that it is the same kind of weather we have every fall. A man who had lived many years in Italy once said : 'Your climate here is fully the equal of the Italian climate , and your sun-sets are far superior. " This , happily , was in the latter part of October - w ber and he died , fortunately , early in the following May. L- the district court of Douglas coun- of ty , Frank C.

Burbank of the Methodist church , and Rev. Buz- zell , aBaptist minister , conducted the exercises. AT Lincoln last week Liveryman Rawlings pleaded guilty to an attempt to bribe Juryman Roy S. Stewart and w as fined $100. This is the case in tt hich a breeze was created in court last week by Stewart's presenting a letter addressed to him by a party signing himself "A friend" and enclosing - ing $10 , with a request that Stewart hang the jury trying g case in which Rawlings was interested. Rawlings paid the fine , but refused to take back the $10 , curiously stating that he had no title or interest in it The money is still in Judge Hall's possession , and if Rawlings does not change his mind it w ill be turned over to some charitable organization. It is said that Rawlings intended to fight this case , but when he sate the evidence he wilted. ALBERT MARBLE and Nate Hagen- camp of Phelps county tell a strange story on their return from a hunt up in Scotts Bluff and adjoining counties , and they bring the badly burnt fore wheels of the wagon to verify it They had 800 shells in a trunk , and as they were driving along the shells , by some unaccountable means began to explode. Very soon the contents of the trunk were all aflame and the fire reached the coal oil jug and exploded it. With great presence of mind the men fought the flames and llr. Marble threw out a sin pound can of powder which was under the seat , thus averting certain death. With all their efforts they could save nothing but the front wheels of the wagon and what clothes they had on their backs. One wheel had three spokes burned out , butt held up to carry - ry them home. Irrigation Water Rights. Irrigation in the western counties and the value which this gives to the water rights along the streams is bring- ; into the courts a steady flow of cas- , where there are conflicting claim- an ts for these rights. One of these has been brought up to life supreme court from Sioux county , which the district court went into some questions that are likely to be of interest to settlers in the irrigation regions - gions In 1590 , or thereabouts , Jens C. eng settled on land in Sioux county , hich was near a stream which is fed Hat creek , IVar Bonnet creels , Zion creek , Sow Belly creek , Boggy creels , Monroe creels , 11 est Hat and East Hat creeks Charles T. Coffee , J. U. Morris , sl . F. Brewster and others had before this time settled on land bordering on these streams , but above lIeng's. There was no title held by any of these N people except such as by custom they got as squatters , until after the settle- vi ment of Meng , about which time the lands were surveyed and opened to set.fi Clement by the government under the fi homestead , pre-emption and umber claim acts. E1 When the value of the water to Meng irrigation purposes was realized by him he found that his neighbors above him had appropriated all the water that was available This was in 1893 , and Meng went into court and asked for an order restraining these people from diverting - of verting the water from the streams for their exclusive use. The district court held that although the settlers had obtained their right to use the water under a squatter settlement - ment , that the prior occupancy and use rested in them the right. It was held that life common law right to use the T ater of the stream carried with it the right to use the n ° ater for all domestic : purposes , and the trateringof the herds the defendants was one of these do- estic uses , even though they might in ve thousands of cattle in those herds. The temporary injunction which hail been granted to Meng was dissolved the defendants declared to have right to use the water for all necessary 1 essary purpose , though this use might exhaust the supply and leave Meng the bed of the stream. ca 11 B IG JAPANESE VICTORY. PORT ARTHUR EASILY TAKEN BY THE MIKADO'S TROOPS. W AS CHIN'S GREAT NAVAL STATION C hinese Commanding Officers Flee an I the Soldiers Surrender in Pusilani- rnous Fashion-The Victory Most important for the Japanese China Rants Uncle Sam for an arbitrator. . LONDGT , Nov. 12.-A dispatch received - ceived here from Shanghai says that the Japanese captured Port Arthur , the great northern naval station of China , yesterday morning after meet- in g with feeble resistance from life Chinese , who laid down theft arms and yielded themselves prisoners after a shorn bombardment The Chinese commanding officers aban- d oned Part Arthur during the night of November 6. Port Arthur has been pronounced impregnable by the naval experts of Germany. L } Hung Chang has built there three modern gun factories w hich rivaled those of the Krupp , and the place was given over to the assembling and making of modern war materials. It is in some respects similar to the Brooklyn or Norfolls naval yards in the United States , although three times greater lit exz . Moreover , Li Hung Chang had centered there the pick of the Chinese army. Great quantities of war material and implements for making them were secured. l'ime capture is further important because it gives to the Japanese a fortification inside of China from which they cannot - not easily be dislodged. The Japanese ese soldiers will undoubtedly tnalse the place a depot of operations and it twill also afford a protected shelter for the Japanese fleet while the gun factories which have been the chief reliance of Li Hung Chang will henceforth - forth be at the service of Japan. It is reported that some of the rep resentatives of foreign powers will start for Pekin immediately. Advices from the armies commanded - manded by Field Marshal Oyama , note operating on life Lcao Ton ; peninsula , confirm the reports of Jap- a nese victories atChn Chiu ( Itinchau ) and Talienwan. Last Tuesday morn- in g one brigade of the Japanese forces captured Chin-Chin and on the next day Talienwan was bombarded and also captured. tl British war- s hip was at Talienwan during the bombardment. After the place was captured the warship started for Chee 1'00 , which is across the gulf of Pe- Chi-Li , some eighty-five miles south of Talienwan. A dispatch from Tien Tsin by the way of Shanghai , says that the em- p eror and his court are preparing to leave Pekin for Sing Janfu ( Tsing Kiang Pu ) , in the province of Kiattgsu , about ha miles northwest of Shanghai. UNCLE SAM FOR ARBITRATOR. Japan Does Not Saenr to Re in n Great Hurry About the Matter. WASHINGTON , Nov. 13.-Up to noon to-day Japan had not agreed to permit - mit the United States to act as mediator - ator in the war in the Orient Lengthy cablegrams are passinghoty- ever , between the Japanese capital and Washington with the prospect that a fins } decision will not be long deferred. A cable from the Japanese a uthorities was received this morning ' a sking for more explicit details. A lengthy answer was sent giving not only the details , but adding features w hich , it is believed , will show the Japanese government life desirability ' of time arrangement China has formally notified Secre- ta ry Gresham that she twill join Japan in acknowledging the independence of Corea , and will also pay a cash inin demnity : Should Japan and China accept the United States as a tnedia- t 3 r , this country will occupy a commanding - manding position in deciding Asiatic questions which have heretofore had the attention of the European powers only. At present these powers are endeavoring to reach an agreement among themselves by which they twill forcibly intervene. The hesitation of the Tolso } authorities - ities is taken to indicate that they want China to 6x tits exact figures of the cash indemnity. If Japan's reply be favorable , an armistice would undoubtedly - doubtedly be proclaimed by both countries. ELOPED WITH A MUSICIAN. Talented Girl of Eldorado , 310. , Mar- nod Despite Parental Objection. FORT SCOTT , Kiln : , Nov. 13.-Robert 1Y.

Justice Doan of tire Pennsylvania Supreme ( ourt lefucoian ; Injunction. PrrrsnuRG , Pa. , Nov. 13. - Justice Dean of the state supreme court to- d ay aflirmec } the decision in the case of John Hysonget al vs the school district - trict of Gallitzin borough of Judge B arker , who refused an injunction to prevent nuns from teaching in the public schools dressed in life garb of their order. In his opinion , which is very lengthy , Justice Dean says : "The courtafter full hearingfound as a fact : There was no evidence of any religious instruction or religious exercises of any character whatever during school hours. But the court , further found that , after school ] touts , he school room was used by the teachers in Imparting Catholic religious - ligious instruction to children of Catholic parents , with the consent of or by request of the parents. This the court enjoined , because it was a use of the school property for sectarian - tarian purposes after school hours. "Time school board committed no unlawful act in selecting these Catho lie women as teachers , because by moral character and certified attainments - ments they were qualified and their religion did not disqualify. 'l'ime dress is but the announcement of the fact that the wearer holds a particu- la r belief. ! 'he religious belief of teachers and all others is generally known to the neighborhood and to pupils , even if not made noticeable in the dress , for that belief is not secret , but is publicly professed. "In the sixty years of existence of our present school system this is the first time this court has been asked to decide , as matter of law , that it is sectarian teaching for a devout woman to appear in a school room in a dress peculiar to a religious organi- z ation of a Christian church. We decline - cline to do so. The law does not so say. " GERMAN WAGES FACTS. V ice Commercial lgeut Murphy of Lnxernburg Gives Figures. 1VASIIINGTON , Nor. 13.-After an exhaustive haustive examination of the wages paid in the large manufacturing establishments - tablishments of Luxemburg , which , he says , arc about the same as in other parts of Germany , George H. Murphy , United States rice commercial - mercial agent there , transmits to the state department a report in which he declares that , generally speaking , the average earnings of ordinary w orkmen amount to less than $ ° 00 per annum. Women earn about half as much as men. 'r91e average wages of miners and foundry hands is less than 51 per day. The salaries of pri- m ary school teachers are $ ' .4 for males and $170 for females. A very large tnajotity of time em- ployes of the government earn less than $400 per annum. A workman's expenditures for clothing - ing and tent may possibly be some- w hat less there than in America , but in tire town of Luxemburg coal costs 5 7 per ton , eggs twenty-one cents per dozen , rye flour three , wheat flour five , sugar eight , butter twenty-five , beef nineteen , yea ] and mutton sixteen - teen to twenty , fresh pork twenty and smoked pork twenty-three cents per pound. Frugality and industry can hardly be expected to accomplish any miracle greater than that of en- a bling athrifty workman to keep out of debt. THE SEALING CATCH LARGE. Despite Disadvantages lire Year's Total Is the Largest on Record. VICTORIA , B. C. , Nov. 13.-The Off- vial statement regarding the pelagic sealing of 189 } , compiled from log b ooks sworn to , has been forwarded to uttatva , London and Washington. The hunters confined themselves to the use of spears , brit only about half the fleet were able to secure spears- men , and these did remarkably well. 'l'ime total for the year is the largest on record , the catch of the fifty-nine vessels being 9"1,471 , against 70,33 ° for the fleet of fifty-five in 1693 and 1,355 for the sixty-five schooners in 150. . 'There were engaged this year S1S whites and 518 Indians. One of the most important features of the a holc report is the statement shelving holy many of the seals taken a in the Behring sea were bulls and h ow many cons. The figures the co- lector has obtained on oath go to show that the proportion of bulls is far higher than had been claimed by some who fear the extermination of the seal herds , and the conclusion ar- ul rived at is quite different from that pointed to by figures reported sent from San Francisco to Washington a few weeks ago. Anarchist Mowbray Back Again. NEw Yomc , Nov. 1-Charles Wil- fred Mowbray , the English anarchist , returned here secretly from England on Saturday with his son and namesake - sake , satisfactorily answered the questions of life immigration inspectors - tors and were permitted to come to this city.

NEBRASKA. O tAuA , Nov. 8.-At midnight Assistant - tant Secretary Rigg of the republican state central committee was seen by a representative of The Bee and asked far a statement of the situation. "You may say , " said Mr. Rigg , "that the , republican state central committee concedes the election of Judge Holcomb by tt plurality of about ,000. In the absence of Chairman Merrill , who has retired far the purpose of getting a lit- ti e rest after the strain of the past two nights , I do not think it proper for mete to offer any statement as to how or why lie. Majors was defeated. We concede his defeat and stop tt } th that 11'e believe - lieve that the balance of the state ticket is elected by from 7,000 to 10,000. We also feel safe in claiming the election of all six republican congressmen from N ebraska. Our returns indicate a republican - publican majority of 84 in the legislature - ture on joint ballot. " Complete returns from Omaha and Douglas county show that the entire republican legislative ticket and the republican nominees for all offices in the county and city were elected. The World-Harald says that the republicans - publicans will control both branches of the next legislature. Tlic senate will be as follow Republicans 67 , popu- li sts 16 , democrats S , in doubt 9 : total , 100. This will give the republicans ninety-two on joint session. Sixty- seven votes are necessary to elect a United States senator. In the First district Jesse B. Strode is elected to congress by almost 4,000. In the Second district Congressman D. H. Mercer is re-elected by a majority - ity of 612 over time combined rote of lis t wo opponents. Mercer's majority over Boyd is 4,400. In the Third district 9 Congressman lleilslejohn } s reelected by a plurality of about 3,000. In the Fourth district the contest between - tween Plainer , republican , and Stark , populist , is close. 'The majority either way will not be large. In the Fifth district the contest is also close. Andrews , republican , claims to be elected over Mclieighan by about 1 , 000. r. In the Sixth rem , populist , is probably - ably elected. Douglas county sends a solid repubpla lican delegation to the legislature. The Lincoln Journal claims a majority - ity for Majors in Lancaster county of ov er 3,000 , and in Douglas county of about 1,000 being a reduction of its for- m er estimates. In counties outside of these two its returns showed that in 350 precincts Majors had :6,315 and Holcomb had ° 9GUJ. OMAHA , Nov. 9.-Official returns have been received from all but two counties in the Fifth congressional district. W ith the missing counties closely estimated - mated , Andrews has a plurality over licreighan of 85' . ' . The Bee has returns on governor from seventy-nine counties in tb state , and partial returns from the other eleven , which shott Holcomb's election. The World says : Holcomb is elected governor of Nebraska. His plurality , will be about ,318 cotes over Majors. The basis counties and time outlying voting precincts did it and saved Judge Holcomb in spite of large gains in some lo calities throughout life state. Returns are still lacking from five counties in the Third congressional district , but life election of tileilslejoltn is assured by a large plurality. In the Fourth district there are still four counties from which the official officialha returns are not known on congressman. ha but Iiainer , republican , is re-elected by ] substantial majority over both of his opponents , Stark , populist-fusion , and Alley , straight democrat. There are several back counties to be heard from in the Sixth district and LI life race there is a close one between Daugherty , republican , and Kent , pop- ist. The indications are still favor- ab le to the election of Daugherty by a small majority. ' NEW YORK.
