Dr. Simmons' Connection "With tlio Dentil of Aim. llosu Ncljrnskn's ticliool System The News nt the State Capital. frnOM ? nr. nun's MKCOUI noncAul , Now tlmt the people of Lincoln nro Inquiring Ir.to the various financial trans actions of Mr. A. J. Sawyer , of the Law nnd Order League , n great many are clamoring to hoar something of the financial conduct of Mr. Lcavltt , the founder and prhno mover of the organi sation in Lincoln. It is said that at ouo limo Leavitt was in business in Massa chusetts and that for a time ho "llow high , " but monetary reverses overlook hint and ho hied himself to Nebraska , where ho bccamo connected with the land department of the 11. & M. While iu tlio company's employ ho established a stock ranch about thrco miles southwest of the city nnd called it "Riverside. " Hn had in his possession a number of high bred citttlo , nnd things wont along swim mingly until 801HO of his creditors swooped down on him ono day and do- ninndcd Unit bo should settle his Mnssa- chustitts debts. Some of the claims wcro paid and some were not. When his creditors demanded their pound of flesh Lt'.ivitt immediately contended that ho hud been doing business for a lloston friend a man whoso dally diet was beans -nml tlmt nil .his flippant remarks about. "my line bulls nnd cows , " were merely Yankee jargon. It is now held tlmt a man who takes snoh great pains to re form a community us Mr. Loavitt hits , should first carry out the biblical com mand to "rentier unto Ctusnr the things which arc Uiusar'a. ' " This , it is said , Mr. Leavitt has not done , and woll-balancou business men suggest that it might bo a good thine to devote inoro time to gather ? ing shekels nnd less to mouthing about Lincoln's wickedness , in order that people in Massachusetts nnd clsowhoro would not lament the financial confidence they once reposed in him. Very common place , matter-of-fact folks further suggest that them are others among the loaders of tlie league whoso records will not bear close scrutiny. All agree that law and order is n good thing. It is not thnt the principle is wrong , but thnt n few of the more prominent movers hold themselves forth as did the Pharisees of old , nnd con sider nil others publicans and sinners in the ancient manner. It is hinted in certain circles that in n few days there will bo quite a sensation concerning the doings of one of these Moguls , when something will bo said about surveying contracts and United States grand juries , with a little side btory about trips to Ohio to Hoe from the then impending wrath of the government. It is well to lie a reformer , but the man who cssaj'S the part should inquire into his own character before he mounts the high pedestal.THAT THAT DILATORY DOCTOR. About a week ago reference was made in these columns to the death of Mrs. Uose , the wife of nn px-gunrd at the pen itentiary , and the miserly meanness of a Lincoln physician , who refused to attend her unless paid his fee in ndvanco. It was impossible nt that time to get at all the facts connected with the case , and as u matter of justice the uuino of the physi cian was withheld. Developments since furnish a justification for the following recital : Mrs. Koso was taken with labor pains about0 o'clock Saturday night , nnd ner husband ut once sent a youne man named Stabler to town after a doctor. Ho called for Dr. I'nyno , and not being able to lind him was advised to go to the Med ical Institute , where ho saw Dr. Sim mons. Stabler told him what was want ed , but the doctor refused to make the trip , so it is alleged , unless ho got-$20 before ho started. Stabler wont back to Rose nnd told him what Dr. Simmons said , and Uoso at once cave him the money and instructed him to _ j ot the doc tor tliero as quickly us possible , us Mrs. Hose wits evidently in a dangerous condi tion. The lad did his errand in good elmpc , but the doctor took his time in an swering the cull , not reaching the house until t ) o'clock in the morning. At that time Mrs. Uoso was beyond help , and dietl about seven hours later. When no tice was -first icailed to the case , Dr. Simmons , although not mentioned by nnmo , foil the necessity of impressing the reporters with the idea that ho was not the man referred to , nnd inducing ono of thorn , at leant , to stuto in print that a great injustice had been done him , us ho had Kindly nnd quidkly re- Hpondcd to the call after other physicians had refused to go. Stabler , the young man who summoned him , however , has expressed his willing ness to make nllidavit to tha statement given above , and which is indorsed by MiclMiion Uoso nnd Forms , both'of ' whom nro well nnd favorably known to the -prison authorities. Uoso was em ployed as n guard for some time , but is now in the service of the Western Mann- fuoturiig ) company , who 'will ' .gladly vouuh'for him. The affair has caused great indignation nt Nobosvillo , where .tlio deooubod was much ruspectod , and there IB universal sympathy Jor the bo- .Tonvod husbnnd. IFho only mUatatcntont in'tlioillrtit roDort.of the case was that the $20 waBraU.od by subscriptlonramong the guards. Mr. Uoso wus not compelled to ask their aid , as ho hits a comfortable position , but if ho had ho would hnvo had u goiierousj > osponsanot only from them , but his employers , who understand and tippreolnto him.

At the request of Mrs. Gillosplo , a num ber of parties who intend buy ing loU nt the sale of thn Glllos- lie ) property on thn 20th of May , Imvo consented not to bid on the tract on which the old home 5s situated. The house and lot have boon appraised at ? 5,000 , nnd Mrs. Gillcspio is desirous of gottting the place nt something near a fair figure. It was the homo of herself and family for nearly nineteen years , and she has a mother's fondness for the spot. Aside from this there nro tlvo good lots appraised at from ? 2COO to * 2,700 each , on which scokora after bar gains can bid , The friends of Charles Aundcr , an In sane lad nt Crete , were badly frightened yesterday morning when they found ho had taken ono of his father's horses nnd staitctl for Lincoln. Our police wcro notified to run him in , but later in the day received u second dispatch snying the lad had been found in Crete. Deputy Clerk Wheeler , of the supreme court , is the happy father of a young son , whom he proposes to honor with the naniu ot Mason Whcolor , , after Mrs. Wheeler's father , Judge O. P. Mason. Marshal Beach is anxious to hear from William Folitl and William Thomas , who left their quarters in the city jail Sunday night without stopping to lot tlio turnkey know where they were going. Folitinnd Thomas were locked up Saturday for gloating n saddle. Sunday evening they kept one of the case knives passed in with their supper , ami notching the edge into a rude semblance of n saw , managed to cut oil' some of the bolls on the back door nnd got out. A third man went with them , but tarried nt the Pcoria House , where ho was captured by the officers. County Judge Parker , in the absence of the district c6urt judges , has enjoined Street Commissioner Dyers from digging a drain from the corner of X and Eighth streets easterly to Salt Crook. Elijah J. Willis , who owns property in thnt neigh borhood , which ho claims would bo overflowed - flowed nml damaged by the proposed ditch , applied for the injunction. Charles Motzgor aud H. Grlndlc , of Thayer coujity , who havoSbccn In the cus tody of Wtu don Nobos as a jailor for some months , wcro taken to Hebron yes terday by Sheriff Green to stand their trinl for murder. Eighteen tramps wcro rounded up in the B. & M. yard Sunday night by the police , nnd given quarters fii the city jail. Yesterday morning Justice Parsons released thorn on their promise to leave town at onco. The entire eighteen wcro taken to the depot in a body by Marshal Beach and headed toward the setting sun. over the tie nnd track highway. When the photographer who is taking views of the interior of the state house reached the supreme court room Satur day , ho found two dignified looking gen tlemen on the bench. Thinking they were the judges , and blessing his luck at finding them so unexpectedly , the nrtist set his camera and got a negative before the scribes know what ho was about. When the plate was shown to Clerk Wheeler later in the day ho recognized the "judges" as Cox , of the Herald , and Whcaton , of the Journal. Being fond of n joke , however , ho refrained from giv ing the thing away , and is growing fat chuckling over tno fun there will bo in thnt artist's studio when Lincoln people go to buy views of the court room with the "judges" on the bench. The afternoon train east on the B. & M. Sunday was thrco hours late , owing to a detention at Denver for the Itio Grande connection. Three prisoners completed their terms in the poll Saturday and dolled Boss Stout's striped uniform. One was George Crandall , who was sent from Pierce county in 1884 for killing a man. The others wore James Garrett , of Hamilton , and Michael Enright , of Uichardson , who hnvo both served ono year for burg lary. IIo Had Handled Hossos.

' . TONT GRABBER'S ' WILL. Mr. Anthony Grabber , senior , head virlnor In the well-known and eminently respectable banking house of Grabber Musk & Grabber , was R stout , middle- sized elderly gentleman , of sleek aud prosperous appearance nnd courtly man ners. Mr. Anthony Grabber , on the con trary , was tall and thin , with n watery eye and a consumptive cough a young man who plainly showed that ho had not inherited either His father's excellent constitution or his business capabilities. L'oarand ston were no less unlike In taste , habit and disposition than in out ward appearance. Mr. Grabber , senior , was a pious man , who was ro-clcctcd people's church-warden with great regu larity in his suburban parish and took an immense interest in night schools and the conversion of the Jews ; but Tony was a godless youth , who never went to church and spent his Sundays in de bauchery. Old Grabber hated every de scription of sport , looked upon race meetings as Inventions of the devil and did not Know a rillo from a fowling piece ; where his son was desperately fond of racing , coursing and cock-lighting ( when he could get it ) lost largo sums of his lather's money at cards and shot pigeons nt every gun club within fifty miles of London. Under those circumstances it was not greatly surprising that there was no love lost between the two gentlemen. Old Grabber despised his son as a fool and positively hated him as n spendthrift and gambler , while Tony looked upon Ids fatiier as a sanctimonious old prig nnd devotedly prayed that before long ho might bo removed to a better world. Nor was this all. The credit of Grabber , Flusk & Grabber had to bo maintained at any cost and it hence came about that young Grabber's bills were invariably honored as they tell duo , a circumstance which cost old Grabber much aiuioty and bad language and made Mr. Flusk think seriously of quitting the firm. Tor Tony had been made a partner at the ago of ono-aud-lwouty , since which time lie had never done a stroke of work , and how to get rid of him without damaging their repu tation was a problem which his partners had hitherto failed to solve in a satisfac tory manner. | 3Mr. Grabber , junior , though n dissipa ted wastrel , was quito sharp enough to realize the strength of his position , and neither prayers nor entreaties on the part of his father and Mr. Flusk availed to make him turn over a now leaf , give up gambling and bottiug , and interest him self in the affairs of tno firm. Ho plunged deeper and deeper , ill luck attending every venture upon which he embarked. Old Grabber stormed , aud Mr. Flusk dis solved into tears , but Tony was obdurate. Ho would persist in playing baccarat , in frequenting race meetings , in making periodical visits to Monte Carlo and in keeping a very smart establishment. At length Messrs. Grabber and Flusk de termined to make a desperate ollbrt to get red of the incumbus by buying Tony out of the bank altogether , and with u view to thin arrangement they called in the aid of Mr. Sharpus , the hrm's conn- dcntiul solicitor and general advisor. The question with regard to which Mr. Sharpus' counsel was chiefly required was how much in the first place they could afford to give Mr. Grabber , junior , to make himself source and how much , in the second , the said young gentleman could bo persuaded to accept. Mr. Sharpus , after the manner of his kind , was not over sanguine and when the , affairs of the firm were disclosed to him lie became positively despairing. For , sad to say , the bank was bv uo means in a flourishing condition. The drawings of young Tony mounted up to a most alarm ing figure and what surprised and. hpryi- , Mr. Flusk oven more was the fact 'that' old Grabber , by dint of engaging , in doubtful speculations on his own account and involving the firm in bad debts , was himself rapidly approaching insolvency. Flusk was a timid , nervous man , aud when these appalling circumstances were revealed to In in he sank helplessly Into a chrdr , his consternation depriving him temporarily of the power of speech. "We arc absolutely ruined ! " lie paspcd , at length. "Even it wo get rid of the young villain wo must stop within six months. " "Stuff and nonsense ! " argrily retorted Grabber ; anything may happen iu six months. All we want is another good account or two. Why. if young Pcckharn comes to us wo shall have the handling of a couple of hundred thousand , at least. " Mr. Flusk stared at his partner in her ror. ror."I don't quite follow you , " ho faintly remarked. " be fool " snarled "Then you must a , Grabber ; "do you think I'm going to put up the shutters if we can manage to keep going ? " "On reflection , Mr. Flusk , " said Mr. -Shavpus softly , "lamsure you will agree with my worthy friend here. " "I have never drawn more than ten thousand a year , " wailed Mr , Flusk ; "but for five years past Mr. Grabber seems to drawn'at least five and twenty thousand .and young Mr. Tony nearly fifty ! " "Oh , very well , " retorted Mr. Grabber , "perhaps you would like to retire. Those pictures of yours would letch a lot at Christie's. " Mr Flusk was a collector of early Ital ian abominations and ho winced prccop- tiblv. "My dear Grabber , wo must think over it , " ho responded. " .I owe a duty touj \ ? family not to involve them in ruin , if .it can boavoided. " "Well , Shurpus , " said Mr. Grabber , significantly , "perhapsyou had better Jeavo Mr. Flusk to mo ; weshall no doubt bo able to make some satisfactory ar rangement. " "I sincoiely hope so , gentlemen , " said Mr. Slmrpus , as ho.took-lds Iqave . Lpf t to themselves , an awkward silence fell upon the two partners. Mr. Grabber , however , was imucli the more self- possessed. He whistled softly to him self , extracted from the drawer of his desk a sheet of paper with an elaborate crest and monogram on It and began to write a letter glancing occasionally ut Mr. Flusk , wnose obvious miserv ho scorned to enjoy exceedingly. The latter gentleman paced up and down the ollico. the very picture of dlspair ; ho muttered to himself , rubbed hiunoad in bewilder ment and .referred occasionally to a piece of paper in his hand , on which were written so 'oralooluuins of figures. At length ho spoke. "Aro sir " ho "that you awnro , , began , you and that scoundrel of a son of yours have brought mo to tUo verge of bank- ruptoy ? " "Perfectly , " replied the unmoved Grabber ; "but I don't see tlio use of re peating such unpleasant truths , " "What are wo to do ? " almost screamed the other. "Sit still md be quiet ! " snapped his partner. "One might think that no ono was concerned in tlio matter but your self. Do you ( suppose that I like ? ' Mr , Flusk , boinglcomplutfily under his partner's thumb , obeyed and Mr. Grabber remained Hilont for so mo min utes , apparently buried in unpleasant thoughts , " \\umust \ get Pcckham's accounts , " ho at length said , "or there's no help for it the bank will have to go1" "How are wo to get it , " asked Flusk , feebly. "We must bribe the solicitor , of course , and 1 dare say the dowager is to bo gel at. She's a young woman and handsome still sure to owe her dressmaker a few thousands. . . . u Lot me see , Flint is the family oC.lv i vt "Aud a very dlfflcut mail to nU FlusK. "You won't find f him very easy to yet over , I can tell you. And be- 'tween ourselves , you know , our credit is by no means what it was. People must sec lhat wo can'i g\i on taking up that infernal young scamp's bill forever , " "Hang hlml" InuWercd his nfiectionntb father , "I wish lp ) would break his neck. " Flusk evidently shared the pious senti ment , but ho was somewhat of a hypo- nto and turncdnip Ins eyes in stimulated horror. "Suppose vrojdq got Focklmm's account countho inquired , "what's to bo done 5 " next ? "Pay Tony out , 4of course , and take our clinnpnt" "Where's the money to come from ? " "I suppose we Jcan borrow it from I'eckhunv1 said'Graubor ' , with a grin. "For heaven's Bilko , bo care-full" cried Flusk , turning quite pale ; "but 1 fear there's nothing else to bo done. " And so tlio two gentlemen parted , it being arranged that Mr. Grabber , as usual , was to do the dirty work of negotiating with Mr. Flint and Lady Ilyc , while Mr. Flusk was to present a smiling face to creditors and strive his utmost to allay unpleasant , rumors about tlio bank's stability. Mr. Flint , as Mr. Flusk had prophesied , turned out a very awkward customer Ho had no false delicacy about accept ing a commission , as Mr. Grabber deli cately called it ; in fact , the only question between them was that of the precise amount. But ho positively declined to advise Lord I'eckhatn to entrust his capital to Messrs. Grabber , Fluik i\ : Grabber's care , unless he could obtain very satisfactory and convincing ovidones of the linn's solvency. Mr. Grabber assumed an air of virtuous Indignation , but Flint was unshaken. The former then ollbrcd to double the commission. but the astute lawyer began to smell a rat , and pointed out that his reputation as a family adviser was at stake , and that ho must have positive proofs of the linn's solidity. "You don't ' expect us to submit our books to you , sir ? " asked Grabber. "Such a thing is absolutely unheard of. " "No , I don't want that exactly , but 1 must have something. " "Of course ; that's but right and I have every confidence that 1 shall bo able to satisfy you , " answered the banker , swallowing Ills fury. "i sincerely hope so , Mr. Grabber , for it is undeniable that your son's extrava gant folly Ins not improved the reputa tion of the linn. " So Mr. Grabber returned to consult with his partner in a state bordering on desperation. "Where is your hopeful son ? " asked Mr. Flusk , when 1,0 at last managed to got a word in. "Racing , of course. Wo shall have another ton thousand to pay up next Monday , I expect. " But when Tony returned to the parental roof that night ho much aston ished his father by announcing that he had had a magnificent week and won several thousand. "It's pretty lucky that you have , " said Grabber , senior , "lor you've ' about got to the end of your tether. ' ' " " " in "Things tightV""linquired Tony , differently. > > 't > ' "Tilings are looking precious like bankruptcy , owing to you , " responded his father. . _ , _ "It won't nnichmattcr ; ; ; to mo , " said Tony , "for the tfo'clors say I can't last beyond a few months unless I give up all sorts of things , ao I mean to enjoy my self while I cantV r "What do you mean ? " asked the father , eyeing his son curioysly. The young man. ccrlui lily looked in a very bad way. ITc was protematurallv thin , his ej'cs had dark circles round them , his face was of a grayish yellow and his hand shook- he lifted a cigar ette to his bloodless lips. Suppose Tony were to die , Deflected Mr.Xirabborjlie would certainly boitv very good riddance' irpm most points nf < yiow ; but then the winding up of his affairs might result in awkward disclosures. Upon the whole , the advantages and drawbacks of such an event were pretty evenly balanced , so Mr. Grabber assumed an affectionate air and tenderly hoped that the d ictors were mistaken. "Don't gammon me , " snarled the duti ful son. "I know that you and old Flusk would bo precious glad to follow mo to Kensal- green , but while 1 live I'll crow , so I'm going to have a good spree between this aud .Monday. " It was then Friday when Mr. Gabber got to his bank the next day he remarked to Mr. Flusk : "I fear Tony 'is very ill. " "You don't say so ! " cried the other , quite cheerfully. "What good do you suppose it will deus us if he dies ? " snapped Mr. Grabber. "I'm not sure at-proseut , but I think .soniethiug might bo mudo out of It , " said Mr. Flusk oracularly. But .Mr. Grabber bad too sincere a contempt for his partner's intelligence to inquire into particulars. Saturday passed , and so did Sunday , but Tony Grabber did not return to his lather's house. _ His absence , however , did not occasion Air. Grabber much anxiety , for Tony rarely condescended to account for his movements and was frequently absent for xvceks without any c\planation whatever. But on Monday morning Mr. Grabber received a tele gram to the I'fiect that his presence 'Was immediately required at a well-known West End hotel. Ho accordingly hurried over his breakfast , sent a message to Tony's doctor and departed with all speed to thu hotel in question. But when ho got there ho found that Tony's capacity for troubling him further had been cut short. Ho had died in the night of heart disease and the doctor , who had been hurriedly called in , said that the pnly remarkable thing about the circum stance was , that it had not occurred months ago. Mr. Grabber was anything but an affectionate father , but he could not help fooling very much shocked ; and , after making arrangements for the re moval of the body , ho repaired to the bankin [ a state of considerable limitation "Tony's dead ! " ho remarked to Flusk , abruptly. ' "Dear mo ! " responded that worthy. "How very sad. " But Mr. Grabber noticed that Mr. Flusk's countpnanco be trayed anything byt gnef at the news. "You seem uncommonly cheerful , " ho said indignantly , f , if > "No , my dear ( rjcad , " answered Flusk , with a deprecatory , wave of his hand. "not cheerful , but I am more Hopeful now , Er Mr. Shurpus and 1 have been discussing our au'uis , and I really think that your son's duathlthough very shocking - ing , is a most fortunate thing for the firm.

"But how about the duty ? " asked Grabber , < "Of course you would have to pay that , but I fancy it would prove a good invest- * incut. " replied Shnrpus. Mr. Grabber pondered a minute or more and then rose and grasped Mr. Flusk's hand with utujptionato forvor. "My dear sir , " ho exclaimed , "you are a uSf-VCt " " " 'MS.
