Dr. Don- isc , however , said that Mr. Thompson de sired him to express hearty congratula tions to tlio medical college on the past year of their prosperity. He then intro duced E. W.

Lcisonrinc then delivered the valedictory address which was attentively listened to and frequently applaudoif. Ho said for tlio first time lie could ad dress them by the title of doctor , as they wcro now entitled to practice medicmo under1 the laws of Nebraska. He spoke of the tendency of young men just graduated to consider themselves bettor qualified than the veterans in the profes sion. The faculty expected to hear good reports of the graduating class of 1880 as they had from the majority of the alumni. They must not expect to obtain a largo practice as soon as they opened their ollieo. If practice was slow in coming , its ultimate advent would bo all tlio moro highly appreci ated. He spoke of the necessity ot con stant study. "ISo men of broad ideas , " continued ho , "not narrow minded bigots. " Ho cautioned thorn against en tering into politics , and above all against divulging the secrets of their patients. The only way to conduct their practice was to act as gentlemen. In times of ep idemic it was their duty to quiet public apprehension and not pander to a cow ardly fear.

Stump , residing in tiio western part of "tho state , became hnancially embarrass ed and is said to hava made an assign ment. It is claimed thatOborfeldor , who was one of the largest creditors , obtained a mortgage upon the stock of goods and took possession of the storo. It is further stated that ho sold the stock at a ruinous reduction in prices in order to obtain casli in the shortest possible tiinu. Tlio other creditors , among whom was Mr. Good rich , stopped in at this juncture and ob tained an attachment.

Knj-iiiontl the Coining Attrao * tton nt the Hojd. John T. Raymond will produce this latest success , "Tlio Magistrate , " nt the Uoyil to night. The piny was first brought out in this country by Daly's company in Now York , anil Sir. Hay- moiul hasliow tlio exclusive right to re produce it. Tlio New York Morning Journal says : "Tlio Magistrate" Is n comedy of the farcical order , and very much superior to tlio average niece that is performed in this name. The name of 'The ' Magis trate" is vov.v deceiving. Its only fault hero is that it lias reference to a law pe culiar to England. There , it scorns , public houses und restaurants are com pelled to clo.'o at midnight , when the guests must bo dismissed ; otherwise they come under police regulations. Tlio plot of Mr. Pinoro's play tolls of n widow who has married a magistrate , and who , in her anxiety to conceal her ago. has made her son appear to bo tour- tuen Instead of nineteen , which ho is. She hears of tlio arrival In England of n gen- Human who was tlio godfather of this boy and fearing that her iiushandwlll learn through him the fib of which she has been guilt , she goes in company with her sister to too this person ; they met at a restau rant. There they got hulated , the police enter , Jho gentlemen show signs of violence lence and the whole party got locked up for the night. It so happens that the magistrate has been inveigled by his nineteen-year-old stepson to pass the evening in the same restaurant. These latter escape , but in the morning the magistrate is called upon to render judgment on Itis own wife for a dereliction ot ivhick ho is equally guilty. Ho is so excited that lie sentences them to seven days' imprisonment. The sen tence is ultimately recalled and compli cations arc raveled out in the iinal act. It is easy to see how such circumstan ces as these loud themselves to humorous results. Throughout tlio play the main plot is followeu naturally enough , with occasional side issues that are never wearisome and are cleverly woven into the story. The immediate cfi'oct of the play was to cause a continuous titter in the well-bred audience which frequents Daly's theater , with occasional roars that deadened the sound of the voices on the stage. Brevities. The dusty experience of yesterday has raised a loud call for the street sprink lers. lers.Tho The will of Joseph Moll was probated yesterday , and that of John II. Urackin was iiletl. James Ilackdalo , of this city , has re ceived a power of attorney that was mailed from England in the fated Oregon. Tlio writing is scarcely legible , though the power of attorney is still there. Charles F. Smith , a young man aged 25 years , died of consumption at the poor farm yesterday. Ilo is supposed to have relatives in Omaha , who should come forward if they want to save the body from interment in the potters' Held among the unknown dead. The gas lamps of the city are lighted by a band of lift ecu boys who start out on their rounds at halt past six in the evening , and again at half past live in the morning. Three-quarters of an hour js snIHcicnt for the lighting of every lamp in the city. Every day or so , tlio lamps have to bo thoroughly cleaned , which is quite an important item of work. The city gas lighter is obliged to "rustic" in looking after his many assistants and the details of their duties , but does his work well and creditably to himself and the city. Mr , Ed. Johnston , one of the best newspaper men in the country , is in the city on a brief business visit. For many years ho was connected with the St. Paul Pioneer Press , for which paper ho has done excellent work. Ho was the war correspondent of that iournal during the Sitting Hull campaign , and also during tlio Kiel rebellion in the Northwest Ter ritory. At present Mr. Johnston is seek- jng rest , recreation and ducats bv mak ing an extended trip through the country as the avant courier of the Boston Ideal Opera company , which will open an en gagement of four performances in Omaha , on April Ibt. During the engagement the company will present "Musketeers , " "Adina , " "Victor , the Blue Stocking , " and "Maid of Honor. " The Gns Question. City Attorney Council is preparing to argue to-day the injunction case brought by the gas company to restrain the city council from passing the new gas ordinance. Ilo is preparing to make the contest a bitter one and is confident of success. Speaking to a reporter about the points of law in the matter ho said : "I will raise the question , assuming , of course , that their position is correct , whether the judiciary can interfere with the action of tlio mayor and council anil by injunction restrain the passage and approval of the ordinance. My position is that the council Mistains the same re lation to thu judiciary as tlio legislature and that a court has no power to declare that the proposed ordinance is unauthor ized or void until after its passage. So far as the remedy by injunction is con cerned my position IB that such remedy cannot bo invoked until after the passage of the ordinance repealing the triinuhiso of the old company anil grant ing the proposed franchise to the now company. When this is done very likely the old company would liavo the right if its present position can bo sustained to onjoiii tlio now company from proceed ing with their work and tlio laying of mains , etc. , in the public streot. Hecoiit decisions in ( ho United States court have been somewhat in favor of corporations like the gas company but they only wont so far as to decide the question in a sin gle state , that of Louisiana , where the constitution gavotho legislature tlio right to grant elective- franchises , but in tills state I contend the constitution never vested that right in tiio legislature , and as councils owe their o\istenco to the legislature they cannot receive any greater authority than the body creating them possessed. " IngniilotiH , IT Not True. "I tell you what I think about that ca nard relative to tlio murdorot Ho\io and Kerrigan , " said n prominent physician to a reporter , as the t\vo were dis cussing the report which caused so much " excitement in Omaha.

Do you remember when tlio great tolopraphers1 strike was inaugurated in 1883 , that the signal for the men to leave their keys and walk out out of the ollieo was tlio roporl ( lashed over tlio wires from the east that General Grant was dead ?

Co\ \ . Frank , llnn.lon , who returned from Norfolk last night.stated to a reporter that the excitement mid. surprise over the absconding president , Charles Mnthewson , had subsided but little if any. "Tho latest Investigations show , " said he , "that his liabilities , on the ac counts of hts old bank , will amount to moro than $10,000. 1 don't believe that his es tate will cover this amount. If Muthow- son had wanted to , ho could have , bilked his friends out of much moro than ho did. Ho could have secured heavy endorse ments from nearly every man in that county , and 1 am sure that 1 would have gone on his note for any reasonable amount. " "Is there any suspicion as to his where abouts J" "Nono whatever , so far as 1 know. 1 do not believe that there la any cltto as o ) where ho lias gone.

"I nm passing tlirotigli Omaha on my way west , and hnven't ' anything particularly lew to toll you. Idaho is growing rap- dly. No , she isn't quite ready as yet to apply for admission into tlio Union. Our erritory has about 80,000 people. A argo number of valuable gold anil silver nines are being discovered all over tlio .erritory. Near Salmon City a number of very line ones have boon found , and are low being worked with surprising re sults. ' ' * Police Pickings. Goo. Henry , a farmer who owns a argo and valuable farm just west of Jinaha , was arraigned before Judge Stcnberg yesterday as a suspicious character. The judge was indignant when the mistake was explained to him , and censured severely the policeman who made the arrest. Henry was re leased. S. B. Bntcholor. a farmer from La i'lattc , came to Omaha Wednesday and hold a valuable cow. Ho took a portion of the money and got"l > ilin' " full. Ho was arrested , but tlio judge released him yett relay morning on condition that he should leave town at once. Fines of $5 anil costs were imposed upon F. N McLuio , who had a quarrel with a man in a boarding house on Six teenth street , and upon Peter Swanborg , the aggressor in a saloon quarrel which occurred last night. J. J. Ryan was a young soldier who had just been discharged from tlio post at Sidney. Ho landed in Omaha to look for work with Sll.-t5. A spree of a day and night's duration followed and J. J. was minus all his money except -15 cents. The police found him roaming aimlessly about the streets and arrested him as a vagrant. The story of Itynn was related to the judge , who released him with the injunction to leave Omaha or procure work at once. Ho Oavo Up the Watch. Ouo of the most common remarks , to bo heard every day , or two or three times n day , is , " 1 don't see how it is that there are so many people who will allow themselves to be worked by a confidence man. 1 should think that the supply of fools woul I give out after a while. " Ami yet there is always u fresh supply of dupes on hand ready to be handled by the wily sharper. A most amusing proof of this was re ported by Olliccr Pat Mostyn to u BII : : man yesterday. Tlio evening before tin graiigerwassittingintho St. Paul depot waiting for tlio northbound tram , when he was approached by a stranger who asked him the time. The rustic obliging ly pulled out : v handsome gold " ' " ho "Don't watch. "Fouro'clock , replied. believe that's right , " returned the con man , "let mo take your watch , and I'll go out and ask the telegraph operator. " Greeny turns over tlio timepiece and the smooth talking stranger disappears through the door. Of course ho does not return , ami after waiting about half an hour ami losing his train , the victim begins to roali/.o that ho has been duped. Ilo reported the all'air , but too late to give the police any clue us to the con man's whorcabouts.
