Hnngorfordodi- tor of the News , had como np against somoouo who took- exceptions to some thing ho had in the paper and as a con- sequence'lib has a brokpu jaw and three broken ribs. " ' State Deputy Commissioner of Labor 0. E. Watson of Lincoln has prepared an interesting shoot of Nebraska statis tics , with an ofllclal map of the state as a center piece , that should bo very valuable able- for reference. His tables show : Union Pacific Railroad company's luuds in Nebraska ; statistics of the state fish eries ; membership mid death rate of Nebraska secret orders for 11)00 ) ; number of professional men ; labor organizations of the state ; grain statistics ; vacau t govorumout lauds ; irrigation grants in the state ; surplus commodities ; grain , live stock , etc. , marketed in 1000 ; list of artesian wells of the state ; population , area , organization , etc. , of the counties ; marriages and divorces ; selling prices of farm lands per aero farm help nnd wages ; public school statistics ; bank ing statistics ; private schools ; libraries ; soldiers ; ecclesialtical ; educational lands ; state institutions and figures on many other matters of interest. The shoot also contains pictures of leading industries , buildings , etc. , and together is a valuable showing to circulate. A small blaze was discovered in the capital building at Lincoln Tuesday , that'looks'as though incendiaries might have made the attempt to burn the structure and gives grounds for the be lief that a flro bug or set of fire bugs may be after the state institutions. The blaze was discovered in the tunnel leading from the engine house to the capitol building and , were confined < o the paper covering o * a largo steam pipe running .through the tunnel. This paper was burned away in two spots , each about a foot in diameter. Below the.pipe was found a pile : of excelsior and several burnt matches. The place where the fire was found is about .forty feet from the capitol building and with a good draft the flames would have spread the entire distance within a few minutes. Secretary of State Marsh and Attorney General Prout investigated the discovery but arrived at no definite conclusion. It was reasoned that if an attempt was planned to destroy the building the fire would have been started nearer the building or in the woodwork. The pipe is hot enough to scorch dry paper , but it is said by eugi- nears that it could not produce nry tffect on the asbestos , which is between the pipe and the outside paper covering.

Drove a Hack Team Into Water Works Ditch Enrouto to tlio Mayor's Homo. Dudley Will Probably Lose a Horse. Lanterns May Have Boon Stolon. J. Quincy was up before police court this morning on the charge of gambling. Ho pleaded guilty to the charge and the judge lot him down with a flue of $00 ana costs , which amounted to $05.10. It seems that Mr , Qulnoy was the suc cessful one of a trio and his two associ ates who lost .to him protested and finally filed a complaint and had hituur- rested and placed in jail. The case , HO far , has resulted OH above but there maybe bo other developments , Quincy is con fident that his associates were as deep in the mud as ho was in the mire and ho may have thorn arrested on the sumo charge , in which event the school fund may have an additional swelling. The game was indirectly responsible for the loss of a horse to George Dudley , liveryman. Quincy's companions got in one of Dudley's hacks driven by Alex Piller and wore on their way to inter view Mayor Koonigstuin , when in turn ing the cornelat Ninth street and Philip nvouno the hack team wont into the waterworks ditch for the now ex tension , ouo of the horses falling in on top of the other. The work of rescuing the animals was boguu nt once and the top horse was qulokly released little the worse for its experience. Tlio under horse was not gotten out for some time and when it was released was unable to stand , its hind legs being paraly/.ed owing to an injury to its buck or hip. It was hauled to the barn and an effort will bo made to oll'ect a cure. If this is unsuccessful it will have to be shot. Mayor KoeuigBtoin had ordered that lanterns should bo posted along the ditch but Piller says there was no lan tern at that point and ho couldn't see to make the turn. The lanterns were in place at other corners , however , and it is probable ( that someone had helped himself to the , lantern during the evening - ing , before the accident. If so the one who took it must feel that It was rather expensively acquired. The lanterns put up have boon frequently removed and the city has been at a considerable ex pense to keep lanterns posted.

The Wnyno players made several good scores and gave evidence of considerable practice , but the superior playing of the Norfolk toain nnd per haps their bettor acquaintance with the alleys was too much for the visitors.
