The senate Monday disposed of the lumber para graph, which haE been more stubbornly contested than any other feature of the bill thus far, by defeating the motion of Senator Vest to place white pine on the free list yeas 20. nays 28. The contest was mainly significant in breaking party lines which have been maintained with few exceptions during the early stages of the debate. Ou the final vote eight Democratic senators voted against Sir. Vest's proposition Messrs. Bacon suid Clay of Georgia. McEnery of Louis ana. McLauren and Tillman of South Carolina. Martin of Virginia, Rawlinl of Utah and White of California. On the other hand Mr. Carter, Republican, and Messrs. Cannon and Mantle, silver Republicans, voted for the Vest motion. Following this a vote to substitute the Wilson schedule was defeated yeas, 17; nays, 27, and the schedule was agreed to as reported. The debate preceeding the vote was at times very breezy, owing to the break of political Hues. A general discussion of the future program of the bill continued before the senate adjourned. It led to a statement hy Mr. Allison in charge of the bill that the committee probably would submit amendments to the sugar schedule. For this reason he announced that the sugar schedule would be passed over and the tobacco schedule taken up. Andrew Nomination Coaflraaed. Washington, June 8.

Man Oa Trial For Klllles; His Mother aad Slater. Libertt, Mo.. June 8. William S. Foley, charged with the murder last March of his aged mother and sister, was placed on trial here this morning. The courtroom was crowded, and the trial, because of the prominence of the Foieys and the atrocity of the crime, promises to produce a long array of sen sations. Over a hundred witnesses will be called. Foley is 30 years old, aad prior to his arrest bore an enviable reputation. If convicted it will be on circumstantial evidence, which, how ever, is very strong against him. Evi dence tends to show he killed the vic tims as they lay asleep, and that his motive was to secure a quick division of the Foley farm. The family is one of the most prominent in Clay county CIm Call far Jockey Cleric. Cincinnati, June 8. Jockey Clerico had a close call from being killed at La toaia.

FIVE INSTANTLY KILLED And Four Badly Injured In a Wreck on Omaha Road. TH1EE BODIES ABE CREMATED. Way Freight, Raaalar at a High. Rate at Speed, Collide With a Work Train Near Hadaea Janetlon, Wit. Wreck Cauted jr Dleshoyaace of Order by Trainmen Coadactor la Nearly Crated. HODSOsr, Wis., June 8 Five men war instantly killed and four were badly injured by a collision on the Omaha railroad, near Hudson Junction, yattarday afternoon The trains were raaaing at a high rate of speed and met on a sharp curve, affording the crews bo possible escape. The dead: E. 6. Huru. Joseph Leigheiser, laborer. ThOMAS Reilly. laborer. Milton Swain, laborer Herman Rebt. fireman. The first four mentioned are from Eau Claire, Wis. Iajured: Brogan, engineer, head bruised and fare injured. James Owen, conductor, slightly hurt. A. Seittleman, engineer pile driver, Menominee, Wis., legs badly bruised, in ternally injured, will probably die. Frank Thayer, Altoona, Wis., foreman, fatally injured internally. Three Bodlee Burned. The way freight, westbound, was coming in at a rate of 18 miles an hour, when, upon turning a short curve on a down grade, it came upou a work train backing east at a speed of 35 miles an hoar. The collision was something ter rific. On the rear of the work train was the boarding car, in which were four men belonging to the work crew. They were never aware of their danger and were undoubtedly instantly kiiled. The car took fire and three bodies were burned in the wreck. Herman Reby, fireman of the work train, was also instantly killed, but the body was recovered. Both engines were totally wrecked. The wreck was caused by the disobey ance of orders by Engineer James Owen of the work train and the con ductor, who were given right of way to the westbound track They forgot their orders and took the eastbound track and did not discover their error until too late. Owen is nearly crazed and a guard has been placed over him. The damage is estimated at $G0,000. TWENTY RIDERS ARE HURT. Berloaa Accldaat at a Bicycle Race Near Passaic, X. J. Naw York, June 8. While turning a sharp corner at the foot of a steep hill 20 riders in a 5-mile road race, near Pas saic, N. J., ran into a big stone, and every one of the riders was injured and very wheel was wrecked. That none of the riders was killed is extraordinary. Sixty 'cyclists had contested. By the time the steep hill was reached 20 riders were bunched together. They did not slow up for the hill, but dashed down at full speed. As they reached the sharp corner they attempted to turn into the river road. The momentum was too great, however, and each man lost con trol of his wheel. As the leaders went down amid their wrecked wheels their followers ran into them amid the wild est confusion. A cry of horror went up from the spectators on the hill, and sev eral of the women fainted. Half a hun dred men were soon at the scene of the accident, and the work of extricating the injured was begun. Several of the riders were dragged out unconscious. George Peddy of Lyndhurst was found 30 feet away half dazed, between piles of stones, and with a broken leg. H9 had been among the first to strike the obstruction. The stone which the lead ers struck weighed fully 10 tons, and on all sides of it lay bleeding and bruised riders. Parts of wheels and racing suits were scattered all around. The men were soon freed from the wreckage and assisted to a shed near by, where the spectators bound up their wounds. Cyellat Rilled While Racing aTrollejr. Providence, June 8. Arthur W. Lahiff, while racing against an electric car, met a tragic death. Just outside the Roger Williams park the road is quite steep. Trolley cars are in the habit of bowling down the incline at a high rate of speed, and a good many 'cyclists have tried to beat them in races. Last evening when a car, headed down hill, Lahiff was alongside. He was measured up by the motorman for a race, and the contest began in earnest. Suddenly Lahiff was seen to tumble and make a complete somersault over his handle bars. He struck with great force while going at his fastest clip, and his neck was broken. Six Iajared la an Elevator Accident. New York, June 8.

The gas is said to have been ignited by an open lamp, and the escape of the 900 miners was remarka ble. INVESTIGATING URBANA AFFAIR. Governor Ruahaell Ha Begun an Official Iavestigatlon. Colcxbcs, O., June 8. Governor Bushnell last night began an official in vestigation of the military phase of the Urbana affair, Adjutaut General Axline assisting him. The governor was in his office until late and heard the state ments of Colonel Anthony of the Third regiment. Captain George O. Leonard and Lieutenants R. O. Campbell and W. O. Clifford of the Urbana company. It developed that Sheriff McLain did not have telephonic communication with the governor on Friday night, a has bean reported. Captain Leonard stated that at the time the governox talked over the telephone, as the gover nor believed, with the sheriff, the latter was in the jail and had no means of get ting to a telephone. It is believed that some officious per son representing himself to be the sher iff communicated with the governor, and fhat the real facts were cot made known, the idea being to convey a false impression to the governor. The fact that Sheriff McLain telegraphed for troops is not denied, but the previous misinformation regarding the situation telephoned to the governor misled him in judging of the necessities of the oc casion demanded when the formal call for troops was made. The gorernoi will investigate the matter thoroughly. The governor has received assurance that it will be perfectly safe for the officers of the Urbana company to return home and they will go to Urbana in a couple of days Prominent officials and citizens of Urbana have advised against civil action in Champaign county and the talk of indicting tha officers of the Urbana militia, it 1? now believed, will come to naught.

Startling Revelations Brought Out by Consul General Lee. DBIVEI H8AHE BY GOHHHEHEHT Woaod Oa HI Head Which Caused Death May Have Been lafllcted la Atteaapte to Fro Himelr Constantly Crying; Out For HI Wife aad Children laaaoaalbla to Aacertaia What Caused Fatal Woaad. New York, June 8. The Journal publishes the full text of Consul Gen eral Lee's report on the Ruiz case to Secretary Sherman. It is dated Ha vana, May HI, and says in part: "I de duce from my knowledge of the facts the following conclusions: "First, Dr. Ruiz was arrested on a false charge. "Second, he was pla-ed under an im proper jurisdiction, and died before the proper tribunal considered his case, thereby giving him no opportunity to prove his innocence. "Third, he was kept 'incommunicado' in a solitary cell for .:: j ;ioars, in viola tion of his treaty rights, which limit such confinement to Ti hours. "Fourth, he died from congestion of the brain, produced from a blow on the top of the head. "Fifth, there are two theories con nected with the wound on the head. One, that in a state of mental excite ment he ran across the cell as described by one of the jailers and butted his head on the door in a frantic effort to get out. Another, that he was struck over the head with one of the clubs carried by the jailers by the immediate watch man who had probably ordered him to cease his cries for relief and for his chil dren, and upou his not doing so, struck him with more force than he intended, or it is possible the blow was delivered to make him confess or give evidence against others. "But whether, when bereft of reason, he inflicted the blows which produced brain congestion or whether he died at the hands of others, the truth will prob ably only be known when the hearts of all are revealed the fact remains, his unjust confinement killed him, and had he been released from incommunicado by the hand of man at the end of 72 hours the hand of death might not have released him at the end of 315 hours, and today the widow would have had the support of her husband and the moans of his fatherless children would never have been heard in the land. "I therefore conclude, saying as 1 have done in all previous reports about this case, that whether Dr. Ruiz killed himself or was killed by some one else, will, under the existing condition 3 al ways remain unknown." Appeal tn America. New York, June 8. A special to Tha Herald from Havana says: A strong appeal on behalf of the starving and dying reconcentrados in Matanzas, who excited pity in the hearts of Genera! Lee and Mr. Calhoun, has been made tc the people of the United States. Since the United States government has be gun measures for the relief of its citi zens in Matanzas, the desperate plight of the Cuban reconcentrados there has resulted in a petition, signed by a hun dred of them, in which they beg that they may be included in the charity To Test Texa Antitrust Law. Austin, Tex., June 8. The case of the state of Texas against the Waters Pierce Oil company was submitted on argument here in the district court, where the state is seeking to revoke the permit to do business granted the oil company on the grounds that they have entered into a compact with the Stand ard Oil company by which the former is to control the price of oil in Texas. The suit is based on the antitrust laws of Texas and the charge is open viola tion of said laws. The defendant de murred to all charges and questioned the legality of the law under which they were being prosecuted. They vigorously denied the charge of pooling and set forth that other companies th&n them selves were operating in Texas, which went to prove that no trust existed. The argument of the case occupied the entire day. A Lively Roman Sauce. Garum, the black green sauce of the Romans, was a species of universal con diment, but its principal use was for fish. The recipe is as follows: Let the cook take several fishes, it matters not much which, but mackerel are the best for the purpose. Let him take out their entrails and put them in vinegar and leave them there for ten days. Then let them be taken ont and dried and pow dered in a mortar with pepper, frumen ty, roots of dandelion, mint, thyme, sage and a little ginger, and well mix ed, after which the powder must be put in jars, together with honey, and left to ferment duriug several weeks. When ready for the table, it must be mixed with Faleruian wine. New York Post CoaaUteacy. She was just 5 years old, but she wai capable of emotions which in their in tensity would strain the capacity of much larger breasts than hers. "I am mad as a bull," she cried. "I am going to grow me some herns and run everybody out of the house." Her grandmother overheard the re mark and called the little one to her side. "You wouldn't run your grandmoth er out of the house, would you?" she asked. "N-no," the tot replied, relenting under the personal appeal. "You could hide." "Would you run your mamma out?" "No. She could hide too." "Your papa and Aunt Mary and Jack" what about them?" persisted the grandmother. "They could all hide." "But, my dear, what use would your horns be if we could all hide?" "Oh." she replied with delightful inconsistency, "but I could find you, though. ' ' New York Mail and Express. Monntata Cllmhlaa;. In a sketch of Sir William Martin Conway, the mountain climber and ex plorer of the Himalayas, The English IlluBTrated Magazine eays that he has the "climber's walk" that is, a gen tle roll of the body, with no unequal steps, but swinging his legs with rhyth mic precision. He is a slim man, but tough, full of energy and with iron muscles. When climbing the Himala yas, he spent 84 days on snow and gla cier. During that time he traversed from end to end the three longest known glaciers in the world outside the polar regions and landed on the summit of Pioneer peak, 23,000 feet high, the greatest height yet reached by man.

A Comet A little black eyed and nimble tongued Irish street car conductor on a branch of Boston's West End railroad is a source of no end of' amusement to the passengers along his route by reason of some of his startling utterances. One day he came into the car and called oat in his peculiarly penetrating voice: "Wan seat on the roight Sit closer on the roight, ladies and gintle min, anmekroom for the leddy pbwat's standing." A big, surly looking man who was occupying space enough for two said sullenly: "We can't sit any closer. " "Can't yeez?" retorted the little con ductor. "Begorry you niver wint coort in thin." It is needless to add that room was made "on the roight" for the lady.

One of our occasional reporters fur nishes the following in regard to an or ganization which has only begun its work in the city: The Volunteers of America are still pushing the war. Their meetings are very orderly and much interest is man ifested. They have had some conver sions, amongst which is one notable case, a man who for years has been addicted to one of the greatest evils flesh is heir to, a talented man both in the press and music world. But his unusual talents have in the past been used in the ser vice of sin, but since his conversion he has determined to use them for God and the bettering of his fellowman. He is one of the best singers and guitar play ers ever heard on or off the stage. If the Volunteers never accomplished any thing more than tho turning of this man from the error of his way and caused him to lead a better life, they have done a wonderful work; but this is only the commencement of a great work to be done. All the people of this city who desire to Bee the good work go on, ought to co-operate with these earnest workers and help them both financially aud morally. They deserve our support and I believe the people of Columbus begin to realize this. They bold meetings nightly, both on the street near the Meridian hotel and in their ball on Twelfth street near the State bank. Capt. Macdonald and wife and Lieut. Baldwin are in charge of the forces here. All are welcome, rich and poor. On Sunday evening, Judge Hensley spoke at the hall meeting in commenda tion of some of the good work being done in the city by the Volunteers. A recent nntnber of the Albion News notes the sending to Baltimore, Mary land, of a car load of butter and eggs from Albion, Petersburg and Xewmun Grove, and the fact that Albion separa tor butter brings one cent above Elgin butter, which is considered the stand ard of the world. We like to see Ne braska interests put their best foot foremost, but it is always the truth that does actual business. Baltimore prices are a cent a pound more on butter than Elgin prices, the difference in freight between the two places is that much. That is hardly foundation enough for the statement that Albion butter is worth a cent a pound more in the Balti more market than the Elgin butter in the same market The truth is that Nebraska creameries and Nebraska sep arators are doing most excellent work for their patrons and themselves, for the communities which they help make thrifty and prosperous, but they labor under disadvantages that Elgin does not; they strive against common cus toms and conditions that the Elgin people long ago overcame, and the suc cess attained at Elgin in butter making is the admiration of everybody who knows anything about it. But success ful butter making, as we all understand, includes a multitude of things, each one a study and a business requiring time, care and special attention to make suc cessful. To our taste Nebraska June butter is as good as can be, but let us be satisfied to tell the world that our butter, ordinarily, is classed among the best on the market and commands prices that make the business profitable. or; The county institute, which opens next Monday for a two weeks' session, will be well attended, although a great many teachers will study in normal schools this suunmer. Supt. Rothleitner is trying to secure Chancellor Mac Lean as one of the lecturers. We give a list of the teachers of Platte county who, so far as known, will attend on some pro fessional school. For the Fremont nor mal, which will get the banner list, the following are in attendance or will be during this summer: Misses Mamie Shea, Eliza Morris, Lizzie Irwin, Jessie Maw, Alice Studley, Katie Cronin, Susie and Anna Mylet, Bessie Higgius, Celia Wagner, and Messrs. Hilsabeck, Martin Buck, T. C. and P. H. Hogan, Henry and Herman Myers. Those who will attend the Wayne normal are: Misses Beula Wheeler and Lucy Cross, and Messrs. Pearl McCoy, Anthony Johnson and F. II. Schure. Misses Lottie Hoare and Eva Brethour will attend the Lincoln normal, and Misses May Alderson and Grace Clark will go to the State Univer sity normal. Miss Agnes Carrig will take a course at the Grand Island School. This long list is a good showing for the interest being taken in education, and will affect attendance on the institute somewhat, but so many new teachers are constantly coming in that it is not expected thai the average attendance will be lessened.

To au Scffebeks: I write this for the benefit similar sufferers may derive from it, unsolicited and out of pure sympathy to those poor mortals who may be afflicted with that dread disease cancer. In September of 1887 the disease known by the medical fraternity as Inpuserethemustosus first made its ap pearance on my face and soon spread across the nose and over a greater part of the face, causing unsightly sores. After nearly ten years of constant doc toring with many noted physicians und deriving temporary benefit at times, my system at last reached a stage of com plete collapse, and I was Hat on my back with no ray of hope. At this stage I was recommended to try Dr. Lieber of Omaha; after an examination he said he could cure me. As a drowning person grasping at a Btraw I entered his private hospital, and in a short space of time I was able to leave the hospital a well woman. My face is now clear and shows but little sign of the dread disease. While in the hospital there were also removed from my body seven cancers. and that witbont the use of the knife. The medical fraternity scoff at the idea of cancers being removed without the knife. But I am a living proof that it can be and is done by Dr. Lieber. To all those poor mortals who have given up the battle against this dread disease, I say don't despair, but consult with the doctor. I make this statement out of pure sympathy for similar sufferers, and will lie glad to see or answer any in quiries in regard to my case. MRS. P. E.
