[ PIIOM inn ner.'s I.IXCOI.M ntmE.vu.1 Tlio convict l'ii < rson , whoso nllcped confession concerning tlio Watson H. Smith murder created such a sonsatlon last summer , will' bo roloiusod from tlio penitentiary to-day , his term of Impris onment expiring nt noon. Duputy United Stntos Mnftlml Hastings is here watching the opening of tlio gates , tuid tlio moment Plorson steps outsideho will bo arrested for tlio niurdor of Smith and given an opportunity to show how much or how little ho knows about that tcrriblo crime. Warden Nobcs , when questioned on tlio matter last night , said it was true that i'lorson was to bo set frco to-day , and that ho further understood that the United States olliclals would take him into custody at once , but beyond that ho was not at liberty to speak. Mr. Hast ings could not bo found , having pinned himself securely liuyond the reach of thu itowfl hunters until after his great errand is accomplished. Tin : on.i.isi'iE : I'liorEUTV. Tlio gentlemen appointed by the board of public lands and buildings to appraise the value of tlio ( tille.spie property on r. and Eighth street , the tltlo to which is now in tlioMuto , have made a report liv ing the price which they think it ought to roall/.o at $17,000. This is about S'-.OOO moro than the most Minguiiio believers in Lincon real rstatu have dared to esti mate , and by many good Judges is pro nounced a ridiculously high valuation. Tins property , which is situated near the capltol building , came in'to possession of the statu some years ago as nearly every Llncnluito knows , on foreelosuro of a mortgage given' by the owner , Mr. Gil- Icspiu , to secure tliorental of school Jaiuls in which lie was operating. Itcon- si.sts of six lots , numbered 7 to 13 inclu sive , in block 153. In their schedule the appraisers set down the value of these lots as follows : No. 7 , $2,750 : No. 8 , $2SMO ; No. 0 ; $3,000 ; No. 10 , $2,000 ; No. 11 , $2,200 : No 12 , $2,750. On lot No. 10 is an old frame house , the only improvement of note on the tract , which it > put in at $3,000. This appraisement has been made with a view to a sale atan early day , the guardians of tlio stato'8 in vestments being satisfied that there is .nothing to bo gained by waiting for fur ther i MC rousts. The sale will bo con ducted under the rules governing the dis posal of pulilio lands , which provide that each lot must bo sold separately to the highest bidder , and that no oiler of less than the apprniseinent can bo considered. Where a safe is olloctcd the purchaser is to pay one-tenth of the price down , and can have twenty years'timo in which to complete his payments , interest at the rate of 0 per cent to bo charged yearly. It is not expected that the bidding will bo very spirited , as the appraisement is too high for men merely looking for an investment to bid up to. It has been hinted that it is to the interest of certain ollicials to have the sale go by default in order that tlio property may be leased to some of their Iriends. This is hardly probable , as the rental of C per cent on thu appraised value would make leasing a moro costly investment than an outright purchase. A CLOUD-OX TIIK TITI.i : . As an example of how the title to real estate may become confused or "clouded , " tin action bogtm in the district court yes terday by Julia M. Triekoy against Anna U. James et al is interesting. In 1801) ) Edward It. James and wife sold to Silas W. Hunt lot 3. block -10. in the city of Lincoln , for $1,250. John I * . Lantz. the notary before whom the acknowledgment was made , failed to incorporate Mrs. James' name , and the original deed has since boon mislaid or lost. In 1870 the promises wore sold by Uent to John D. Ham , who in 1873 con veyed them to William LEystor. . In 18SO Kyster sold to Mary A. Horey. Three years later James AloMurtry came in possession , and in 1884 the present phun- tiir , Julia M. Triekoy , bought the prop erty. Through all these transfers and years there was no trouble , but now a ' 'cloud" comes up , owing to the original deed being lost and Lantz's neglect to got Mrs. James' name in the acknowledg ment. The plaiiitll ! asks as a matter of equity that this wrong bo righted , and the defendants , being merely nominal ones , are not making any strenuous ob jections. ANDIIEW DONALDSON'S UWJNK. Among the drunks and disorderlies marshalled before Judge Montgomery yesterday morning was an elderly man who gave his name ns Andrew Donald son , and said ho was from Omaha. The pollco reported that when arrested Don aldson was trying to got acquainted with the wooden Indian in front of Wolto- made's cigar store , and was profuse in his assertions to the untamed red man that if ho would come down to the cor ner they'd "set 'em up again. " Donald son when put in iall had only. & 3 in money about him , but when paraded in ' the forum of justice ho claimed to have j' been robbed of $100 which ho was taking to Ins family in Stromsburg , Nob.

N. Carnen Hurford , Ashland ; Dan D. Fuller , Oma ha ; C. Thompson , Ashland ; J. T. Hink- ley , AMihmd. PHRENOLOGY. A I'semlo Science tlmt lias Waned in .Popularity. London News : M. Dumas recently de livered the funeral oration of ono Dos- barollcs , professor of palmistry and , in course of his remarks , spoke of Desba- rolles as having done for the hand what ( Sail and Spur/lieim had done for the brain. If this parallel is to bo taken se riously it is not too much to say that the science of palmistry must bo regarded as practically extinct. Phrenology to-day Is an olloto branch of thought. We look in vain for any mention of the word m the indices of works on the brain which deal with the latest information .science has elicited respecting the organ of mind. No one possessing the most elementary knowledge of progress science has made within the last twenty years , in the mat ter of the functions ot the brain , can for a moment accord to phrenology a stable position in the list of modern branches mid modes of inquiry. It is , poiehancc , only breaking a buttorlly on the wheel and slaying the slain to say so much. Hut the science of Gall. Spur/helm and George Combe still survives in holes ami corners among us in the shape of demon strations by peripatetic phrenologists of the "characters" of their clients. Busts nro still to bo seen and bought in winch the human heads \ mapped out into of "destructivoncss" and " spacca "vener ation , " into areas of "amativencss , " "form , " "color , " "language , " and so forth. There are many persons who still believe that the faculties of human nature nro all pigeon-holed , as the phrenologist teaches , on the contour of the brain. The reading of character and the con stitution of mind would bo an oxtraordiiu iirily easy matter were such things true. The brain , alas ! is much too complex an organ to bo so lightly disposed of. It has taken the best work of a quarter of a century in modern phjsiology to open up the subject of brain functions , and it will occupy the energies of many years before wo are able dotinitely to sum up clearly and explicitly the exact nature of many of the brain's ways and works. Hut what we do know of cerebral structure and action slays phrenology more com pletely than it has oycr been disposed of before. The work of Hitzig , Fritich , Ferrer and others has taught us the new phrenology that of experimental science. Jt lias exploded the old myths about fac ulties , "bumps" and brain organs , of vyhich so much talk was heard half a century gone by. Wo are able to-day to indicate generally how the organ of mind works , now certain of its parts come to the front over others , how there should exist lower and higher "centers" in its substance , how one part regulates speech , and another .seeing , and another hearing. In our hospitals for nervous diseases to day the physician , from his study in tlio work of the'normal brain , is able to place his linger on the region lie regards as af fected his and inquiry in patient , post-mortem quiry as well as evidence of other kind , is brought into the Hold of research to confirm his deductions. Looking back to the days of palmistry and soothsaying , wo spo in the old phrenology , which still survives in unlearned circles ; a lit ac companiment of the "science of hands. Tlio School Land Lenses. Sutton IlcoMer * The recent leasing of school lands in Keith county serves to call to mind the controversy over this subject in tlio last campaign. The action of the board of public lands and buildings was very stoutly defended , and those who had condemned their loose way of doing busi ness have bcon over smco very roundly denounced. It was claimed as a wicked and wanton attack for political purposes. But subsequent events have proved that the board was open to justly severe ecu- suro. Had not the lease of these lands been prevented by the intervention of outside parlies , tlio state would have bcon tv very heavy loser for a torni of years. And it is in just that condition now as regards other counties in which leases were consum mated. As to Keith county , with its 80- 000 acres of school lands , the appraise ment under which leases have boon re cently made , is on an average about six times as high as that under which thu old deal was sought to have been played. In stead of fifty to soventy-livo cents an aero the lands are now appraised at $3 to S3.00 an aero. And tlio demand for them at this last lignro was eager and the - , _ gPiliUtL So that tlio sohoo ! fund "will now rccoivo from this ono county nlono many tliotisaiiln of dollars annually moro than it would liaro done had the other nil but eonsinu- muted echenio not boon nipped in the bloom.

Ho Is hero now , liavlnp 'come on to attend the funeral of Ids partner and friend , ov Senator CliafTro. It was Cliafleo who pave direction lo Moflalt's first efforts to make money on a blp scale. Moffntt was originally a drupRlst's apprentice at Nowburjr , in this stato. iio had an In- qul.illivo mind , and was constantly try ing to lltul out the contents of bottles. Quo day ho sampled a big ammonia- bottle with such recklessness that ho wont sprawling on his back on the floor in a swoon. When he recovered ho con cluded that ho did not want to learn the drug business. Ho wont west and drove n stage in Iowa , and then be- eamo on o.xpross messenger. This was In the day * when that service was on coaolios and exceedingly dangerous. Fi nally ho landed in Coloi ado and started a stationary store. In two yo.\r.s it had grown lo such "dimensions that he sold his interest to his partner for 100,000 and went into the First Nationa bank , which had been organized by UliaHoo. Ho h president of the bank now and h worth ! ? - > ,003,000 to $0,000,000. Ho stood by Senator Cliafleo in all the senator's losses In the last two years , and gave him nisistanco whenever wanted. MoR'att once stumped Cyrus W. Field. 11 was when the campaign of 1894 was warmest in New York. MofVatl was at I ho republican national committee headquarters with Cliafleo. Field came in and began to tell what ought to be done about raising money. Ho had talked a long time when Mollatt , who had bcon listening quietly , spoke up : "Well , talk is cheap. You are right about raising monoy. I will give as much as you will Suppose wo start the subscription right hero.1 Field stared at Moflatt in ama/.ement , and linallv asked his name. "It is no matter what my name is so long as it is good on a check. If you say $50,000 I will duplicate it. " Field wont away in a dudgeon , believing ho had been insulted until ho hcaid who Moflutt was , when ho laughed over the incident but made no sitnscriplion. iMofl'att had a deal with Jay Gould some years ago wliieli causes the little Wall street wizard to liato the Denver man with a holy hatred. It was in the Denver Pucilio transaction , ( .lould wanted con trol of the road , and was to pay S'-.OOO- 000 for the interest hold by Alottat. He got out to Denver intending to take pos session of the board of directors by giv ing his check for Mollat's stock , when ho proposed to let the chock await payment until he got ready. Ho gave the check to MotVat , and then asked for the trans fer of the stock. Moflatt cooly replied that the transfer must await the certifi cation of the check. Ho sent it on to New York and made the railroad mag nate wait its return Ooforo ho would btir a peg. It gave Gould the nightmare for a year or more aftorwauls whenever Mofl'att's name was mentioned. A Mystery Solved , Among the ninny tnmedics which have occurred nt Niagara Falls , the death of T. G. DoWitt , a New York commercial traveler , will always bo remembered as of surpassing horror. While viewing the ice formation below the cataract the un- lortunato traveler slipped and shot down tlio mound with frightful rapidity , disap pearing , as was .supposed , into the water below. It now transpires that ho was not drowned nor seriously injured by tlio fall , but fell in a crevice , where lie cither froze or starved to death. His body will bo re covered. The agony endured by him until released by tleath can be but faintly imagined. The roar of tlio falls pre vented Ills despairing cries being heard , although a beaten path in the MIOW allows that lib made it long struggle before abandoning hope of rescue. PILES ! PltiES !

End of High Ambition Tlio Fliitht From tlio Kntnou * Snnsldc Homo of1 Cnnonchct. Philadelphia * Tiniest Chief Justice Chase was not.n magnetic man ; ho had few personal friends nnd no intimates. Ho did not , like Henry Clay , draw about him a host of enthusiastic followers , who stuck to him in defeat as well as in .victory. But Salmon P. Chase had ono friend who never deserted him ono friend who never faltered in her trust or failed in her love and thai ono true , faithful and devoted friend was Ids old est daughtcr.Kato Chaso-Spraguo Losing his third nnd last wlfo before ho was -15 , Ills young and gifted daughter was the ono companion qf his life , tlio conlidnnt in all his high political aspirations nnd the lender sympathiser in Iho hour of defeat. There was a mutual confidence between father and daughter which never censed. Kato Chnso wns tlio pride of her father's heart. Like him she was am bitious , and while ho nspircd lo the high est political honors , her ambition was to bo a social queon. Her beauty , wit and grace made her ono of tlio most brilliant belles ot Washington while she wtw yet in her teens. Her father's positions , first as United States senator , and afterwards as secretary of the treasury , made her n conspicuous figure In the .social world , Mr. Chase , though so distinguished , was far from being a rich man. Ho had it in ids power to make millions while secre tary of tlio treasury , but ho quitted ollico poorer than lie entered it. At the ago of 2 1 Miss Chase was mar ried to William Suraguo , tlio younjr millionaire senator from Kliode Island , who had been governor of the state when ho was only 'M years old. The world deemed this a. brilliant match. As usual , the world was wrong , for it was a most ill-borted marriage , uovjrncr Sprague was far inferior to his wife in mind and manners , and she , discovering when too late , that his heart could not be fired with high ambition , turned her mind and soul to promote the ambition of her father. . 1 lirst saw Mrs. Sprague in the spring of 180 ! ) . She was then 20 years old and in the prime of her rare beauty. Tall , slender and graceful , her sparkling vivacity , dashing manners and brilliant powers of conversation fitted her to adorn any society. At that time she had only ono child , Willie , who has turned out to bo a chip of the old block. 1 kr.ew her chicJly iuhcr , home life or m the society that made her house , on the corner of Sixth ami E streets , ono of the favorite reports ; of Washington. She occuplied in spnlfi rcsueeti the same position of confidential advisor to her lather that the late Miss IJayard did to the secretary of' ' state , She mnnaged her household' with great firmness and was the absolutoimistress of a princely establishment , with a retinue of servants , the chief of whom" Was a French cook , who received $1,200 a year for his ser vices. As an cxanfplo of nor manner of dealing with refractory servants it may boce moioucd that on ono occasion the ttiitchman was told to do something in the house , lie refused , saying his duty was oti the bo'x. qf .the carriage and no where else , \vhorcupqn , , Mrs. Sprague ordered out. tha carriage and kept the ioachman sitting on the box all night. AT TIM : AVIITTH HOUSE. There is in my mind's eye a vision of this fascinating woman in all her incom parable boiuity as she one _ evening en tered the white house , leaning upon the arm of her father , moro than a o/.en years ago. She was dressed with ex quisite taste , well becoming her fair young face and faultless figure. Over a pearl-colored dress of softest silk fell a rich profusion of costly lace. _ A double row of pearls encircled her delicate neck and in nor sunny brown hair bhv.cd a iifjlo diamond .star of extraordinary illiancy. niThcre were , at the white house that mght beautiful women and distinguished en from every section of this vn l country , rewesenting every typo of physical grace ami strength. IJutitwas a subject of almost ponoral icniark that , for manly beauty and feminine loveliness , Chief Justice Chase and his daughter carried oil' the palm that evening. The father was proud of his daughter , proud of her beauty , her wit , her intellect , proud of her ambition that aimed at the presidency for him and the queen of the white house for herself. She was proud of her father , in whom was centered her wildest dream of ambition , and she pre pared herself for the rcall/.ation of this glorious dream by studying all those arts that fascinate and delight. She taught herself the language of courts and prac ticed the gay badiuago and witty ropar- tea that lighten the formal etiquette of society. niSArrOJNTMKNT. Those who know the inside history of Chief Justice Chase's life declare that his presidential aspirations were inspired moro by his daughter's than his own per sonal ambition. During thu campaign of 1808 , prior to the meeting of the demo- cratlo convention , Mr. Chase was fre quently mentioned as a i > oil > lo candi- - " - iv , c ij. V4'"JTrn TM uate , ior luo pic Kiejiw' , . luici airij , Sprague entered with zeal and energy in thu oll'ort to secure tlio nomination of her father. Her ambition was arousud und for a time her brightest hones suemcil on the point of being realized. Her father often spoke of the joy it would give her if ho should get the nomination , and whim ho was told of his failure his lirst words were : "Does Mrs. SpraiiuoknowV" and when told she did , his next question wnss "How does she bear itv" Mrs , Sprague bore up bravely under this terrible - riblo disappointment , which cruAjidat once and lorever her life-long dream of ambition , > The second > sight of tills dazzling woman is vory.tifilorcnt from tlio iirst , when she npprurod in all the pride of youth , beauty and ambition , Clothed in "deep mourning , with her beautiful eyes wet in tears , Mrs , * Sprague is bending over the collin that contains all tlmt re mains ot the father whom she idoli/.ed , No jewels are around her neck now , no diamonds Hash frorii her queenly head 1 at this grinf-stricknn moment. Her heart is crushed by itiio sudden blow , all her high hopes tire gone , all her ambition is buried in her father's collin. She know thai father us'iio ono else did or could know him. She know all ho iiad been to her , and know that his death was a loss that could never bo replaced ; that hence forth she must live without sympathy of him , who had always been to her tlio most devoted of fathers and the kindest of friends. From the hour that made her nn orphan the world lost most of its brightness and nil of tlio sweetness for Kate Chase , THE FLIGHT FIIOJI CANONCIIIIT. Years passed niter tiio sipht of our heroine bcndingover her father's colllncd form , and thu third and last sight of her is oven more painful than tlio ono just pictured. Driven to desperation by tlio brutal conduct and insane threats of her husband Mrs. Sprague determined to tly from tlio house which was no longer a homo nnd carry with her in her flight her three daughters. Tlio affair was secretly arranged during the temporary absence of Mr. Spragup from Canouchet , thu country seat pf the family in Khodo Island. Mr , Sprague had no objection to Ills wife leaving , but he wished to re- tain the girls , and this wis the von , Mrs. Spragno had determined ho should not do. Like A true woman she had her way. Sprague returned on the very day that was appointed for the tllght of the unhappy wlfo and her thrco daughters. This was an unexpected thing , but Mrs. Sprague was i-qual to the occasion.
