C. A. 3rcCLouD , one of the examiners
appointed by the-state auditor to check
up the offices of county treasurers , has
made a reportof his examination of the
accounts of the Adams county treasury.
This examination , so far as it related
to the time covered by the incumbency
of C. H. Paul as county treasurer , shows
that the county owes the state $8,455.88
more than has been heretofore re-
ported. The years .covered by this
shortage are 1587 to,1890inclusive.
THE heaviest hail storm since August ,
1885 , swept over the principal portion
of Omaha last week , lasting forty min-
utes. Large drops of water spattered
down upon the pavements ! like silver
dollars. Then came a bombard mentof :
hail rapidly incresing from the size of
buckshot to the size of small hen's
eggs. Much damage was done in the
way of smashing windows on the south
and east sides of buildings and skylights -
lights and green houses were generally
wrecked.
CHARLES ATWINE of .Pierce has got
imself in trouble. He settled there
bout ten years ago , married and became -
came the father of three children , and
was highly respected by the citizens of
that place. A short time ago he received -
ceived a letter from the wife he.had deserted -
serted in Minnesota in 18S1.and fearing -
ing trouble concluded to leave. He
now writes to the Pierce wife that he
is tired of life and will kill himself. Ho
married the first wife under the name
of Ahlgrin and has seven children by
her.

A FEW days ago , while plowing for
corn on the Cal Nordyke .farm in Pigeon -
eon Creek township , Boone county , and
on top of one of the highest = bluffs , the
bones of three monstrous skeletons
were unearthed. One of them measured -
ured nearly eight feet in length , while
the other two were not , quite as long. .
Some of the bones crumbled as soon as
exposed to the air , but the skulls and
jaw bones were perfect , showing full
sets of teeth. It is probable that these
bodies were buried there long before
the country was settled.
BERT BUCHANAN , an allround tough ,
of Nemaha , is lying at the point of '
death with a bullet in his chest as a result -
sult of his misdeeds. He has been absent -
sent from Nebraska forr some months ,
and celebrated his return by getting
drunk and abusing John E. Crather.
He went to Crather's house and attempted -
tempted to break in the door with an
ax , when Crather shot him. The bullet
entered just above the heart , inflicting
what is supposed to be a fatal wound.
No blame is attached to Crather..as Buchanan -
chanan is a bad man when drunk.
GoVERNoR Horco tn heard further testimony -
timony last week in the asylum contro-
versy. Superintendent Hay , who protests -
tests against the governor's right to
remove him without cause , produced
witnesses who denied statements of
discharged employes set up in affidavits -
vits on which Governor Holeomb's
charges of mismanagement are based.
Hay took the stand.in his own defense ,
denying statements made in affidavits
presented by Dr. Abbott , the governors -
ors appointee. Dr. Hay presented
statements refuting the charge of ex-
travagance. His statements show that
the Lincoln hospital for the insane is
msinthined at less per capita than sixteen -
teen asylums in other states.
ONE of the counterfeit dimes has
made its appearance in the office of the
register of deeds at Omaha. It was
taken back to that office by the collector -
tor for the Nebraska National bank ,
the bank having refused to accept it.
It is easily distinguishable as a counterfeit -
terfeit , being light in weight and of a
different color from the real article.
The letters are coarse , their edges being -
ing rough and uneven. In the wreath
which encircles the words "one dime , "
immediately under ; the letter E in
dime , is a blotch of metal , probably
having been made by a defect in the
die. The milling on the edges of the
coin is irregular , and does not quite
reach the outer edge of the coin on one
face , while on the other it overreaches
and cuts into the reverse side of the
coin. It is.of the issue of 1891.
H. A. REESE , editor of the Kearney
Journal and for some time city asses-
or , is in trouble. Several weeks ago
County Clerk Hormel gave him access
to old county warrants that had never
been called for or paid. for the purpose -
pose of publishing the list. Since then
the old warrants have been , presented
to the county treasurer and paid until
they now aggregate $260. Last week
one of these advertised warrants
was called for , and the clerk not
finding it , ascertained that it. had been
paid by the treasurer a short time ago.
'lure clerk's suspicions were aroused ,
and an investigation' showed ' that the
old warrants recently paid had been
stamped with a false seal and many of
them had not been receipted for n the
warrant book stub. Others ha been
receipted _ for by Mr. Reese on orders ,
and as the clerk bad reason to b ieve
the orders were forgerien he had Mr.
Reese arrested for forgery and g d
larceny. Later new interest w
awakeded by the discovery that several
of the warrants had been raised , one
from $4 to $40 , another from $2 to $12 ,
and so on , making an aggregate ofover
$90. Mr. Reese was re arrested but
plead not guilty and was bound over.

NEW OFFICERS FOR A. P. A.
Supreme Council Decides to Make the
Order international.
Milwaukee , Wls. , May 12.-Three.ses-
sfons of the Supreme Council of the A.
P. A. were held yesterday. The international -
national committees , representing Canada -
ada and this country , reported that
they had decided upon a declaration of
principles for the order in all countries.
The report has yet to be adopted by the
supreme body in Canada. Among Its
important features are the pledging of
the support of the order in all countries
and loyalty to their flags. In constitutional -
tutional countries , it will pledge support -
port to the constitution and in monarchial -
archial countries to the monarchy. Any
government changes desired are to be
worked for and secured through the
government.
The council reaffirmed the principles
which were set forth in the platform
adopted at Des Moines last year. It affirms -
firms that the A. P A. Is not a political -
ical party , is tolerant of all creeds , but
opposed to the holding of public office
by any Subject or supporter of an ecclesiastical -
clesiastical power. It declares in favor
of public schools and opposes the employment -
ployment of any subjects of an eccles-
lastical power as teachers or officers of
the schools. It condemns the giving to
sectarian institutions any part of the
public'moneys and declares for the taxation -
ation of all property not owned by the
government. Ie demands a restriction
of immigration , a change in the naturalization -
ization laws to make seven years residence -
dence a necessary condition of citizenship -
ship , and that all institutions be opened
to public inspection.
With the exception of President Tray-
nor and Secretary Beatty an entire new
set of officers was electetd. Following is
the result : Supreme president , W. J.
H. Traynor , Detroit ; supreme vice president -
ident , Judge J. H. Jackson , Fort Worth ,
Tex. ; sunreme secretary of state , E. H.
Dunbar , Boston ; chaplain , J. M. Taub-
lee , Covington , Ky. ; supreme secretary ,
C. T. Beatty , Detroit ; supreme treasurer -
urer , Francis Campbell , Minneapolis ;
supreme sergeant-at-arms , J. H. Wool-
man , Santiago , Cal. ; supreme guard ,
John King , St. Louis ; supreme sentinel ,
William B. Howard , Omaha ; supreme
trustees , W. J. Palmer , Butte , Mont. ; J.
M. Snyder , Washington , D. C. ; II. M.
Starks , West Superior , Wis.
Shortly before midnight the council
decided to hold its next annual meeting
in Washington , D. C. The convention
will probably finish its business to-day.
One Indiana Op. ator Gives In.
Brazll , Ind. , May 13.-The first break
in the ranks of the bituminous coal operators -
ators of Indiana , who have been holding -
ing out for a reduction in the mining
scale , occurred yesterday , when Joseph
Somers , the Staunton operator , drew
out of the Operators' Association and
threw his mine open , giving employment
to 250 idle ruiners. He settled with his
men at the old price. Other operators
have manifested a determination to cut
loose from the association , and a general -
eral stampede would not be a surprise.
Gresham Not to Resign.
Washington , May 13.-Politicians here
do not regard favorably the story that
Don. M. Dickinson is slated to succeed -
ceed Secretary. Gresham at the head of
the state department. A story was circulated -
culated thiss evening to the effect that
the state department portfolio would
again be tendered the eminent Michigander -
gander , but it can not be verified , and
is not believed by usually well-informed
men.
Try to Wreck Two Trairra.
Burlington , Iowa , May 13.-Two at
tempts were made last night to wreck
Burlington trains near West Burling-
ton. Ties were used , and were so placed

Pittsburg , Pa. , May 13.-The Oliver
iron and Steel Company granted the
Amalgamated scale in all departments

No Warrants for Gov. ! Morrill.
Topeka , Kan. , May 13.-The complaint -
plaint against Gov. E. N. Merrill for
obtaining money under false pretenses
was filed yesterday with Justice F. M.
Grover , but no warrant was issued. It
is doubtful if it ever will be.
Snowstorm at Fort Robinson. Ncb ,
Fort Robinson , Neb. , May 13.-The
fall in temperature of 32 degrees in

DELUGE AT IIEItMASI'ILLE , HISS.
Torrent Rushes Through the City Streets
-Great Damage Done.
Hermanville , Miss. , May 13.-The
cloudburst at this place Thursday did
great damage to property , but no lives
were lost. The downpour of rain was
terrific , rapidly filling and overflowing
all streams in the neighborhoor. The
town and surorunding country were a
sea of surging water. Fences , outhouses -
houses , etc. , were swept from their
foundations , and through the main
street of the town rushed a raging
river five feet in depth. It overflowed
many houses , sweeping over the ground
floor , and the stock which could not be
got up in time had to swim to places of
safety. Men had to give up the task of
rescue , as the water soon rose above
their heads. The people sought safety
in second stories. Wires are all down ,
heavy trees having fallen across them.
May Raise a Loan of &tJOO,000OO0 ,
Paris , May 13.-M. Hanotaux , minister -
ter of foreign affairs , ha3 invited the
leading financiers to meet to consider
the impending Chinese loan , the ways
in which the bourse might co-operate ,
and the conditions on which French
capital might participate. It will not
be surprising if the loan reaches L1SO-
000,000 ( e900,000,000) . The powers , while
discussing so important a financial operation -
eration , will not arrive at a decision
without consulting London , without
co-operation such an enterprise could
not be taken.
t
New Court of Claims In Michigan.
Lansing , Mich. , May 13.-The special
charter of the Michigan Central railroad -
road company contains a provision that
in case of its alteration or revision the
state shall pay the company all damages -
ages resulting from such legislation.

Chances for American Capital.

who was brought from Chicago , failed
to identify Benedict as the man who
was with embezzler Taylor at the time
of drawing $60,000 from the Exchange
National bank of Chicago and the
charge of grand larceny was dismissed.
Benedict was rearrested on a charge of
conspiracy. The probability is that he
will be bound over.
Scalers Make Formal Complaint.
London , May 13.-The Hon. J. H. Turner -
ner , Prime Minister of Bitislt Colum-
edged with the Colonial
al complaint
against
VICTIM OF A CONSPIRACY ,
Gov. Brown Claims a Plot Was Laid t > t
Kill Ills Son.
Louisville , Ky. , May 9.-The Courier-
Journal prints the following : "The
sensation attending the Gordon double
killing is not over by half. The prosecution -
cution will attempt to prove that Arch
Dixon Brown's death was due to a plot
to assassinate him. Governor Brown
has reason to believe that the facts of
his son' i coming to Louisville on the
day of the tragedy and his meeting with
Mrs. Gordon were known to a man in
Fro-.tlcfort , who telegraphed to a man
in Louisville. This Louisville man , the
prosecution claims , notified Gordon that
.his wife was to meet Brown and 'active-
iy assisted in a foul assassination. ' Mr.
James A. Scott , the Frankfort attorney
employed by Governor Brown to prosecute -
cute the case , said :
I want to say that Governor Brown
never authorized any statement
that he would not prosecute
the case nor did he ever dream of granting -
ing a pardon to Gordon , as has been
stated. Before deciding' on the step
Governor Brown took counsel with a
number of intimate friends from all
over the state. He came to the conclusion -
sion that it was due the memory of his
son that there should be a full and fair
investigation of all the facts. He was
convinced that Gordon must have
known that his wife was dissipated ,
reckless and imprudent. Governor
Brown and his counsel would shrink
from any attack on Mrs. Gordon's character -
acter , but would prefer to throw the veil
of charity over all her acts , especially
as she is dead. The future will determine -
mine whether it will be necessary to
further blacken the character of Mrs.
Gordon in order to show the defend-
ant's thorough knowledge of it. I think
the developments will be surprising to
some people. "
CHINA IN NEED OF FUNDS.
Asks Russia and France to Advance a
Large Loan.
London , May 9.-A dispatch from
Shanghai says the Chinese emperor has
written to the czar and President Faure
asking for financial assistance to meet
war expenses and promising to grant
special commercial advantages to Russia -
sia and France in return therefor.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the
Times says that the Russian government -
ment is satisfied with Japan's reply to
the protest of the powers and regards
the incident thus far closed. Russia is
evidently glad to get out of a very awkward -
ward position without haggling as to
the particular form of language in
which Japan agrees to refrain from annexing -
nexing the Liau Tong peninsula. The
Russian military preparations in the
far east have been suspended in accordance -
ance with the orders from the war office.

the hottest weather. A terrible cough t
took possession of me , my breast was r
sore to the slightest touch , and my
limbs were like cold clay. The hardest
rubbing with the coarsest towel would
not create the slightest flush , and the
least exertion would exhaust me.
"I went to the hospital in July and
they diagnosed my case as above stat- ;
ed. It was when the clouds were the
darkest that the first glint of sunshine
came. Mr. Shelmerdine , a friend , who
lives around at 1844 Clementine St. , said
to me one day , Mrs. Bowen did you ever
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. I had never heard of the edi-
tine , but in my condition could not turn
a deaf ear to anything that offered re-
lief. It was after considerable thought
and investigation that I concluded to
discontinue all other medicintt , including -
cluding cod liver oil , and depend
entirely upon Pink Pills. I began to
take the pills , at first with but little en- ;
couragement. The first sign of improvement -
ment was a warmth and tingling sensation -
sation in my limbs. Finally the cough ' ,
disappeared , my chest lost its soreness
and I began to gain flesh until I was
fifteen pounds heavier. All this I owe
to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I cannot
praise them too highly. "
Mrs. Bowen Is a kindly faced lady of
middle age , a church member , well- +
known and highly esteemed. She looks
today well and strong and it seems al- li
most impossible that she was ever given 0
up by eminent physicians as an incurable -
curable consumptive. Yet such is the '
case beyond all dispute.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life j I'
and richness to the blood and restore A.
shattered nerves. They are for sale by ,
all druggists , or may be had by mall
from Dr. Williams' Med. Co. , S lienec-
tady , N. Y. , for SOc. per box or six
boxes for $2.50. i # .

How to Walk. I
A Delsarte teacher who is peculiar in ,
knowing D something b of Delsarte's sys- I
tem of expression , says that women t an
improve their walk without a teacher , f It
though they can't learn about walking ft
from print. The proper length of the
step is twice the length of one foot ,
and it is measured from the hollou ' 'o-iv
one foot to the hollow of the other.
Now , take a piece of tape and sew on it . . _ '
bits of flannel at intervals twice the
length of one of your feet , stretch it f iT,4 1
across the longest room you have at
your , disposal and you are ready for
practice. May be you don't know that
each foot should cross the same line
with each successive step ? It should-
that is very important , so now you must
walk your tape and Set one foot and , _ - . '
then the other right over one of these i
bits of flannel , letting the fianuel come
just under the instep. Do this and turn
your toes out very well , and swing your
leg from the thigh , and you are far on
the road to a beautiful walk.
