Papillion Times: There is on file in the office of District Clerk Salisbury the petition of Richard Hogeboom,who prays that a deed to a great part of his real estate be set aside as fraudulent. The Petition alleges that Charles Tut tle and a syndicate of Omaha attorneys and real estate agents took advantage of Hogeboom and procured the deed un der false representations. In fact the 1 old man says he never intended to sign I a deed at all, and that he may have signed some sort of a paper for the Omaha men, but that it never was his purpose to give a deed to his property. The deed is on record, however, and unless the court shall set it aside Hogeboom is practically shorn of all possessions. Deputy Labor Commissioner Erion has taken up the question of wages paid to working .men and cost of Jiving of wage earners. In order to get re ports from laboring men who care to assist by keeping a record for one year, the deputy has prepared a blank. He prefaces the blank with this statement: With a view to setting forth the rate of wages paid working men and arti sans in the various trades and callings and the cost of living of wage earners, the foUowing blanks have been pre pared. Please fill the 'same correctly for the period covered by blanks and re turn same to this office. The figures and facts thus obtained will be used collectively, no names being made pub lic. It will be considerable of a task to keep daily account of all money re ceived and' paid out for a whole year, but I ask you to undertake it in the in terest of honest working men and wo men." Scfaoel Law Decisions. State Superintendent Goudy hits is sued the following decisions during the past month: 1. The voters of a district at an an nual meeting of the district may change the location of the school house site to any point in the district which may suit their convenience The distance to be moved cuts no figure in the case 2. The pay of a teacher is dueat the ena oi eacn montn, ana unless mere is a contract for other payment I am un able to see how the order for the month's pay can be legally withheld. 3. The action taken by the voters at an annual meeting with reference to hiring a male teacher for the district is merely advisory and the board is not legally bound by sueh action, it being the duty-of the board to hire and con tract with teachers. See section 11, subdivision 15, of theschool law. , 4.' A 'district school board has' no authority-by statute to."1 give the note of the school district A note signed by the members of the board is the note of the individuals and not of the district 5. A school district board cannot make a legal contract with a teacher who does not hold a valid certificate, and members of the board, are liable to the district fori any money paid out to teadbers who are not legally qualified. 6. The voters at an annual meeting have no right to vote to hold no school during the coming year. It is the legal duty of the Aboard "to hold such' school. Such an action by. the .voters at annual meeting' ii-therefore, -illegal and void. Any parent residing in Jthe. district who has children of school age may, in my opinion, compel the board to make pro vision for the minimum term for such district " 7. There is no authority for an ap pointed officer to hold over after the. .date of a regular election.

The ex press car of the Mineral Range passen ger train, which left Hancock at 9 Vclock yesterday morning for Calumet was held up and robbed by banditts a half mile from Boston. Tho robbers secured 575,000 in cash money, intended for the employes of the Calnmet and Hecla iron mine, for whom tomorrow was pay day. The money was drawn from the First National bank of Hough ton and the Superior Savings bank of Hancock. The express car was in charge of Messenger R W. Hogan, and thera were no special guards. The money was obtained according to the usual .practice, the day before pay flay at the big iriine-, and thi thought that there Were train robbers daring enough to to make a raid on the valuable treasure in broad daylight apparently never en tered the minds of the railroad officials or of the trainmen. It might well be supposed that in the train robbery in Indiana the first of the week, the acme of such daring exploits was reached, but it remained for today to demonstrate that a train can be stopped and robbed with impunity in the broad light of day and with little or no at tempt at disguise. The train was going along at the usual speed ant was within half a mile bf,the little station called Boston, five miles from here, when a man stepped into the middle of the track and flag ged the train. The engineer quickly applied the brakes, no thought of train robbers entering his mind; The man disappeared behind the station house an-? as the train stopped two wo-ff passengers got off. 'nt that moment a liiiasiccrt man jumped on the locomotive and pointed a revolver at Engineer Nick Schuler and ordered him to stop. The engineer thonghthe was fooling or was a lunatic, but the gun went off, the bullet whistling past the engineer's left ear and the engineer knew he was at the mercy of a desperate man. The fellow pushed the engineer ihtb the corner of the cab, grabbed the air brake lever, and to keep the engine bloving slowly he opened the throttle slightly, showing perfect familiarity in handling an engine. .. Fireman Sutherland jumped out of the cab window and was met by two more of the robbers, who came from the front part of the engine and fired at him, ordering him back on the en gine on pain of instant death. The fire man had no alternative but to obey. Two more robbers had in the mean time got on to the front end of the ex press car and with a sledge smashed it the car door. Express Messenger Ho gan tells tills story: 'I was sitting in my chair with my feet on a box singing, when I hefrd a crash and looking that way saw a masked man covering me with two re volvers and ordering 'hands up.' There was another man jusl behind him. I threw up my hands mighty quick, and the robbers took my gun away. Then they demanded the keys of the safe. I pretended to be looking for the right key when they threatened ,to kill me if I did not hurry up. I then opened the safe and look out the four packages of currency and one of the robbers scooped them into a bag he carried. Backing out of the car door again they fired two shots, evidently as a signal to the robber on the train, who ordered the engineer to go on, saying: 'You will find a rail pulled up about three miles ahead." The engineer pulled the throttle wide open and flew for the Scola telegraph office, when the news of the robbery was at once telegraphed here" The robbers, leaving tliS train, passed to the rear and disappeared in the woods, the one who had the treasure Waving his hand at the passengers, who were ignorant of Mrhat had taken place so recently. Among the passengers were Hon. E. D. Ryan and Attorney Looney, and Teller Fish of the First National bank of Hancock was in the coach with S40, 000 in currency in his pockets, but the robbers did not know it. As soon as the train arrived at Calu met, the Columet and Hecla mine sent nearly 100 deputy sheriffs in every di rection in chase Sheriff Dunn also Bent deputies out from Houghton and tug boats were sent along the lake shore to cut off escape by water. Ev ery road was closely guarded. Jack King, the great Cornish wrest ler; John Kehoe, a sport, and Jack Chal lew were seen driving very fast into town about 10 o'clock, and persons near the Boston station saw a horse corres ponding in color to theirs tied up near the station. These men and a man named Gorman were thereupon arrest ed, and the clew against them seems to be a very strong one. 'eal Opens His Campaign. Newark, O., Sept 16. Hon. Law rence T. Neal, democratic candidate for governor of Ohio against Hon. William McKinley, opened the democratic cam paign here yesterday afternoon in the presence of a large and enthusiastic gathering of democrats of this section of the state After referring to the ex isting financial depression. the speaker declaredcthat tlje McKinley and Sher man lays werthecauseof the trouble He said thtpiltfhociatic party was pledged in Javoot bimetallism and the repeal Or the purchasing clause of the JSherman actllc declared that Kinleyism was the greatest foe of the prosperity of the peo ple. McKinley protection means tax ation favoring the rich. Fcyr sev eral years the government receipts had exceeded the expenditure 8100, 000,000. The burden falls upon the poor people. He declared that the ag ricultural interests were the principal victims of protection. In 1860 the farm ers owned almost half the property of the country. Now they owned less than a quarter. The difference measures the farmers' loss and the manufrcturcrs' gain. The defeat of the republican party in Ohio will affirm the judgment of the people of a free country entered at the presidential election last year. It will be the final decision of the American people. The speaker ap pealed to the people to vote for -democracy, the party of .the people, the guar dian angel of their rights and of their liberties,.and,thus secure the destruc tion of monopolists and unjust taxation.

Mr. Peffer said he desired the informa tion in the public interest. Tho national banks had been the pets of the country since 1S73. They bad contracted the currency at will and had defied tho law in the matter of their reserve. The business of the whole country was at their mercy. It was high time the pecple understood all about these matters. The small banks in the south and tho west were not responsible, sftld-Mr. Pcf fer, for the condition of the banking system, but the banks of Boston, New York and Philadelphia were.

This left Mr. Belknap without legal status so far as mak ing a contest was concerned, the law requir ing that notice of contcstmust be filed with in ninety days after election. The report was adopted without opposition. The house theil adjourned until Monday, to await the report of the committee on ac counts assigning clerks to committees. SENATE. In the senate on tho 11th Mr. Polpli, re publican, of Oregon, presented a petition from the conference of the Methodist Epis copal church of Oregon for the repeal of the Geary act. Mr. Stcwartof Nevada submitted a reso lution for the creation of a committee of five senators to ascertain and report wheth er any senator is a stockholder or Is inter ested in any national bank. He said the organs of Wall street and Lombard strecit had for several years char get senators rep resenting silver states with voting on mat ters in which they were personally Interest ed. He had not for fifteen years been inter ested in any respect personally in any silver mine or in bullion. The resolution went over. The repeal bill was then taken up and Mr. Teller or Colorado, who was entitled to the floor, yielded to Mr. Pugh. He said that the message of tho president calling an extra session was a declaration in favor of a gold slandard. If the Sherman law was uncon ditionally repealed such action would cause discontent among the toiling millions to such an extent that they would shake the country. Ho would never vote for uncondi tional repeal, but favored any substitute which carried out the platform of the demo cratic party. . Mr. Teller, repiiblleaa, of Culbradd then resumed his speech begun on Satnrday against the repeal bill. Asserted, and he believed it could be demonstrated, that if It had not been for aprcconccrtcd effort in the money center of the country to prevent, it, the 1st of Sentember would have seen better times in the finances of the country than the 1.. l..t .,!.. 17..,. ,.JJ IJL'UpiC ,11 D C.JL't ICUUlllg IUUUJ. lb n.13 .114- mitted now by all the great financial au thorities of New York that the panic, was over. He met one day recently a gentleman or national reputation aim saiu io mm: "When will this panic be over?" That gen tleman replied: "When the men who called it on, call it off. The bankers of New York called it on; when they get ready to call It off. It will come oIT." The calling of con gress did not relieve the country: in fact the condition became worse from tne time con gress was called In extraordinary session. Mr. Toller said ho would at some other time give to the senate his conception of the cause for tho recent distressed condition. In his opinion It was due to legislative mis conduct. Mr. Teller next directed himself to stock operations. A New York paper had .pub lished daily for some time the daily depre ciation in valuo of stocks, or the destruction Of values occasioned by the Sherman law, as the paper said. The paper had finally got the amount up to 700,0 0.000. In his opinion a great many stocks were selling on the market today for more than they were worth. Ho cited the Northern Pacific.which he said had fallen from 7) to 17. It was said all the great owners connected with it un loaded when it was 70. That company had S 50,000.f00of indebtedness; $.i,0 0 000 held by Germany; a great amount owned in Holland and England. HOUSE. In the house onlhellth. Mr. Murry (rep., S, C.) in view of the cyclones which have re cently devastated the South Carolina coast, asked for the immediate consideration of a Joint resolution appropriating 52 O.lOU'to en able the secretrry or war to purchase rat Ions and medicines and distribute them among the sufferers from the August cyclones against the South Atlantic coast. Mr. Kilgore dem., Tex.) objected and the Joint resolution was referred to the commit tee on appropriations. Mr. Richardson (dcm., Tenn.), from the committee on printing, reported back a res olution providing that all documents and books ordered by the Fifty-second congress and remaining undistributed at this time shall be distributed among the members of the Fifty-third congress. Mr. Coom bsfdem., N. Y.) thought that the resolution encroached upon the rightsof tbe members of the Fifty-second congress. Mr. Richardson said that unless the res olution was adopted the documents which were published before the first Monday In December would be distributed to members who had retired on March 4 and not to the sitting members. The resolution was adopt d. The speaker called the committees for re ports, but the only one that fell into the hopper was one authorizing the secretary of " the treasury to settle the accounts between the United States and Florida. It was made by Mr. Hutchinson (dcm., Tcx.i, from the committee on claims; and itwas placed upon the private calendar. The house then, on motion of Mr. Catching, (dem., Miss.) at 12:10, adjourned. SENATE. In the senate on the 12th the repeal bill was taken up and Mr, Mitchell, rep., Ore.) addressed the senate in opposition to it.

HOUSE In the house on thclith there wa hardly a quorum presnt when the session began. Mr. Talbot, (dcm., S. (Masked unanimous consent for the Immediate consideration of a resolution reciting that the Iioiimj was ad journing from day to day without accom plishing anything and that the pcoploare dally expecting something to be done for their relief; and instructing the committee on banking and currency to report at the earliest possible day, 4ie MeLalirin bill, re quiring the i,sueof SI' ,'0l."00of treasury notes to be distributed for' the relief of the people. Mr. Broslus (rep.. I'enn.) objected. The calling of the committee-, in the sec ond morning hour was perfected and Mr. Richardson moved that the houc go into the committee of the whole on the printing bill, btit Mr. Kilgoru was present and made his presence i elt by" ta.-iug the point of no quorum, and thus necessitating tlC crtll of tho yeas and nays. The motion was agreed to yeas, 158; nays. 26, and the house went into committee. The first and formal reading of the bill oc .cupicd almuitiin, bour.and.a half, and as the reading clerks relieved each other the attendance of members became gradually less, untill when the reading was concluded therfl were not more than twenty-five mem bers in the hall and not one of these twenty live was paying the' slightest attention. Tho.-c who remained read papers of chat ted together and the cnam and deserted appearance. ted together and the chamber wore a bored ' sitin neserten nnnpnnncp. i SKNATF- In tho senate on the ltthMr. Faulkner, democrat, of West Virginia, pubmlttcd an amendment to the. repeal bill which was read. It provides first for the coinage of the tti.tltrkt, f.i t.n .it.,u.4.t .It l.p .InlHilrrh 'tl1,4jt worth now S17J.000.OJ . at tin' rate of I.OUO.OOO I per month, and authorized in addition the purchase of l,f0JX)) ounces per month, though this amount purchased is not to be coined until after all the bullion id tliq treasury is coined, unies-, in the opinion of the secretary of the treasury the de mands of tbe country require it. After all the bullion now in the treasury is coined, the amendment provides for the monthly purchase of enough silver to coin 3,000,000 silver dollars until such time as the aggre gate silver circulation of the country shall reach sC9,000,000. All silver thus coined and heretofore coined are to be legal tender. The repeal hill was then taken up, and Mr. Daniel, democrat, of Virginia. addressed tho senate in opposition to the bill. In li-M, lie said, there were two opinions in Which there was general concurrence; first, that, the Sherman law ought to be repealed, and sec ond, that gold and silver ought to be coined wlthoutdlscriminatlon orcharge formlnt age. He thought that these 'ori Current opinions should now Je embodied in one act. Alluding to President Cleveland, Mr. Dan iel said be bad been loyal to "him In 'three campaigns. He expected In many days of battle yet to bear his colors and to defend his course. He would not pay him the trib ute of the courtier and the flatterer and -ay, "Behold the brave and honest man who has convictions." He would Imitate that exam ple as he understood It and should -show him and all that the American senator had hK convictions and was brave, honest and true to them and would defend them. Ap nlause.l In conclusion, Mr. Daniel said: "Let us remedy our financial system with justice to ' ail interests respecting every obligation of i our public faith as it is interpreted, and let , us all stand logetner, witnout any interest, of section or of class, in the broad spirit of American brother.-, which gives to the world the motto.

Change ia Peaaioa Bales. WASHiwrax, Sept. 12. For the pur- rQ 0f arriving- at a more certain and - - . uniform practice in the pension office and the department of the interior in the matter of anneals in esnsion cases, Seeretarv Smith haknromulffated w code of rules for the government of the department and guidance of appellants and their attorneys. Very loose meth ods, it is said, have heretofore prevailed and almost any paper filed by a claim ant who considered himself aggr" icved by the action of the pension office has been considered and treated as an ap peal. This practice' has a tendency to - , .. vwi r ;,; annonU n. renu.

No special or tcch ttical forfrfs are required for an appeal by ttiS cvr rcdes, but appellants will be required to file tttth the secretary a concise and plain statement of hc er rors of law of facts complained of and constituting the ground of the appeal. Newtrrrd material evidence which has been filed sfft??qTent to the aStion or order or the pension eflice, from which the appeal is taken, will not be consid ered by the secretary until the ime has first been passed upon by the pen sion office. No appeal taken on behalf of a claimant by or through a suspended or disbarred attorney will be enter tained tlfilefcs refundment, as required, shall have been Ittadc No appeal, the rejection of whieh has been affirmed by the secretary on appeal, will bo re opened with his approval. The organization of the board of pen sion appeals has also been materially changed and modified. Instead of be ing divided ns hitherto, into several sub-divisioils, ch workiufif under its awn character, in a scml-indepcnden. manner, it has now been constituted into one board vrith an organization simitar to other division of the office of the Choirman, having one chairman or one chief, and en assistant chairman. This it is thought, will tend to facilitate the work and secure uniformity in the decisions of the Loard. Mr. John A. j Lacy of Missouri, who has been a mem ber of the board since I8S7, has been made chairman ah'd Mr. Edward V. Hall of Pennsylvania assistant chairman. Train Robbers Caught. Oswkqo, Kah., Sept. 12. The men who held up and f pblcd the St. Louis & San Francisco castbutifnl train t Monnd Valley last Sunday havd ?n captureri- Their names arc George anu Charles McCune, Charles Uahut and W. W. A. Curry. The captufe" was made at Arkansas City, Kan., where tfic" out laws had joined the multitude of boom ers -Wio are swarming about that city waiting ioT the opening of the Cherokee Strip. One of the brinults made a con fession of the robbery find admitted that he fired the shot which killed Ex press Meb-scngcr Chapman. The men belong to the class known as 'fakirs" at racing grounds and coun try faira. They are not known to the officers of Kansas or the marshals of Indian Territory, and it is not thought iiiat rib j" of them have records as des peradoes or Irain robbers prior to the affair at Mound Valley. The capture was made by officers of this county, who have been on the track of the men since the robbery, and who will receive the rewards offered by the "Frisco and Wells Fargo Express companies, which amount to 1,300 for each man. The prisoners will be taken to Cherryvale and placed in jail there for safe keep ing as there is considerable danger of lynching should they remain. 8tole from the State. T6ilcKAj.Kan., Sept 15. The latest sensation is the' discovery of abig steal in the Topeka insane asylum. Treas urer Waile of the state board of chari ties concluded an invest gation yester day which implicates Isaac Luke, a farmer living near by, and half a dozen subordinate officers in the steal. On T.b:'i nrntnises wprft found fiO.000 ihinffles, i'.OOO feet of lumber and a ? . . , . ? ,,. great many implements, inciuuing axs, hoes, hatchctu, etc. For the last six months thehe articles have been taken by subordinates of the Institu tion to an old meat shop near Luke's place and he would come in his wagon and haul them to his home. Warrants irere sworn out for the arrest of Luke and a half dozen subordinates. Gave iii tri Mealco. Washington-, Sept. 12. Fo- the pres ent, at least, the trouble growing out of the seizure of 3,000 sheep by the Mexican customs officials on what is claimed to be Texan soil has been brought to an end. After Secretary Grcsham and the president had had several conferences an agreement was reached by which it was decided to au thorize Major Kcycs to surrender to the Mexican officials. This will leave the sheep in possession of the owners. The question of a definite location of the boundary line will, it is expected, h.i referred to a mixed commission, which has had similar problems to unravel heretofore. Got. Hogx I" for Silver.
