The Knights of Labor scorns to be
liable to abuse ; , tlio same as other organi
zations. One apparent instance has arisen
here , aud has attracted tlio attention of
sonic of the members of tlio local organ-
1/titioii , who pitrposo entering some sort
of u protest against it , A gentleman
arrived hero the other day , appearing in
the role of traveling agent for a watch
case factory , and at the same tlmo as
master workman of an eastern local
assembly. Ho was canvassing the retail
jewelers and furnishing them with ad
vertising circular * , of which the follow-
inir is a sample , the names omitted for
obvious reasons :

Wo desire to call your attention to t no
HUM its ol the \\ateli case. Dtulni ? tlio
Into conlllet ot the Knights of Labor with
Hint company , the qiiallly of tlio ijoods was
uuvcr railed In iincstion. They mo without
doubt tliu best made watch cases in the mar
ket ; mid now that tlio company hi\e : ac
knowledged the justice ot our cause. It Is our
biiunden duty to do all In our power , as per
agreement , to lestmc their business to Its
fminer piospeilty ; thercrore , when any
KnlKht ot Lalmr wants a watch case , by buy
ing ono of thin make he will he doinc an
net of justice and eomtesy. and at the same
time will hectuo autch case that is
as leiuesentcd , and that for duality and
workmanship eannot be surpassed. We hope
thnt all Knltthts of Labor will see the justice
ol helm ; as leady to help the company when
they hiuo acknowledged their orior as they
\\eio to place the boycott on when thetiouble

This is said to bean nttemnt to use the
ollieinl position of the .signer and the in-
liuent'o of the order to help him port-Dual
ly in liis business as traveling salesman
for the watch case company , and hence a
gross violation of tlio rules of the order.
Several other circulars are being used by
the sumo traveler for a like pnrposu , one
being addressed to locomotive oiiiitncers ,
and others to dillerent trades , till being
signed by him as master workman.
The attention of the Knights of Labor
of this city being called to the circulars ,
they are considering the advisability of
tak'ing some action to head oil' such at
tempts to use the order for such personal
purposes. They object to : i master work
man going about the country in this way.
If he wants to travel on the road for some
factory he certainly has the right to dose
so , but not to use his title and position for
the sake of gaining business for his par
ticular house.
A Dirty IJi
The examination of Airs. Frank , charged
with having enticed the Mercer girl into
a house of prostitution , was commenced
yesterday before Judge Aylosworth. Mrs.
Frank , whoso real name is said to bo Mrs.
Huber , keeps a notorious house in Oma
ha , and the allurement of this girl is said
to have occurred several weeks ago. The
prosecution of the woman is being vigor
ously pn h"d by Mr. James , of tlio Law
and Order League , who is present during
the progress of the examination , and
who sooins confident that ho will succeed
in convicting the woman. Seott Williams
is proaoontinsr attorney , while the defend
ant's interests are beinp cared for by Mr.
Felker , ol Omaha , ana G. A. Holmes , of
this city. The examination was made a
secret one , not even the reporters being
allowed to remain. This secrecy was at
the request of the dolenso , who seemed
to shun any farther publicity concerning
the matter , a wish wbiob scorns not un
reasonable jn view of the story told by
I he girl , which , if true , should consign
Mrs. iM'ank to some scene of still greater
retirement than a court room with closed
doors. There were several witnesses
over from Omaha yesterday , among them
Capt Cormiek , ot the police force , and
Constable Kdgerton.
The girl herself , Lulu Mercer , first
took the witness stand , and occupied it
mo-it of the afternoon , her testimony in
chief being given freely and speedily , but
the cross-examination being tcdion * and
very prolonged. The defense tried hard
to break down the force of her statements
and got her to cross herself , but despite
the cunning of the attorneys , slio dung
to her original account of the allair
closely.
Her statement was in effect that she
came to Council Bliill's with her parents
about n year ago. She was then 15 years
old. She had worked at dilVeront places ,
but earned meagre wages. About six
weeks ago Mrs. I'nink came to tha house
and said she was a dressmaker in Omaha ,
and wanted to get a young girl to learn
the trade. After talking over the matter
with the family it was decided ( hat she
should go. On reaching Omaha slio was
taken to Mrs. Frank's house , and for
several days she remained there with
out discovering the character of the
house , or what was to bo her life there.
Her questions in regard to sowing wore
mot with evasive answers , and finally the
truth was broken to her that it was a
house of prostitution. She said slio tried
in vain to leave , but tho.y would not let
her go out of the bouse , and alter spend
ing two or thrcodayu in her room , nearly
crying her eyes out of her head , she was
induced to enter the parlor and see com
pany. Her protests against such a life
wore continued , and several times she
attempted to got away , but was forced
to slay. Finally she got away , but with
out her clothing , and when she wont
back afterwards to claim her clothing ,
she was kept locked up in the hoiibo for
two days , until Mr. James secured her re
lease.
The attempt of the defense will bo to
break down the character of tlio girl , and
to show tjmt she Wi1 : not gueh un utyg
pouts ! \ she would have the public believe.
An attempt will bo made to bolster up
such a claim by witnc s < en , who claim to
have known the girl before she wont to
Omaha. This seems to bo the main ques
tion in the case , the woman jiudhor busi
ness not being so much in the contest.
In confirmation of the '
girl's story snv-
oral witnesses were examined yesterday.
The father and the Miter told about the
woman coming to the house , and what
she represented to thorn in regard to'the
life the girl was to load. Captain Cor
miek also testified to the real character
of the house kept by Mrs. Frank , and the
number of girls there , and the lines im
posed upon thorn from time to time.
The examination is to hocontimicd this
morning , and will probably occupy a
day or two yot.
The I ) , niul l > . Siiprrliitonilency.
It is understood that the board of trus
tees of the institution of the deaf aud
dumb is to meet in special session next
Monday , All sorts of rumors are atloat
as to what will bo do no concerning the
action of the board as regards a superin
tendent , Ono Is to the effect that some
of Prof. Hammond's friends will try te
get the board to retain him , the report
of the committee recommending his re
moval being only a recommendation ,
leaving the board to act at it $ pleasure.
While tlicre may'bo no legal require
the board to dispense with Prof.
Hammond's services , yet an attempt to
retain him under such circumstances
would be bitterly opposed , and rniso a
storm about the ears of the members of
the board , which it would be very dif
ficult to still. Another report is that an
attempt wilt bo made to scc\iro Prof.
Talbot. who woj formerly superintend
ent of ( he institution , and who is now nt
Columbus , Ohio. As Prof. Hammond's
term docs not expire until August or
September , there will probably bo no Im
mediate action taken in regard to the
matter.

20,000 PRESENTS
All of them magnificent ; costly and useful. But at the same time we beg the public to understand ( no
matter what our competitors say ) that we arc not running a gift enterprise. You do not pay us a fraction
of a cent for the chance to get the present. We nre selling our A. U. C. Soap cheaper to-day than wo
ever did during the three years that it has been placed on the market , and consequently you get full value
in Soap , We are simply
ADVERTISING
our A. B. C. Soap on the most magnificent scale ever attempted by any one firm.
Three years ago we started out to sell A. B. C. Soap on its merits , to-day thousands of the most
intelligent housekeepers in this and .nil the principal cities of the Union use our A. B. C. Soap and marvel
why it is not used in every home.
The principal grocers throughout the Union tell > is one reason why its use has not become general
is that
has not been sufficiently advertised ; and another reason is , because many people who have bought it , did
not give it the necessary and intelligent attention it deserves. They did not read the directions , and
finding that it would not wash by laying A. B. C. Soap on top of the bundle of soiled clothes , they fell
back to five cent soap.
Thousands wri * v us : "Your A. B. C. Soap is all that you claim for it ; it not only gives satisfaction ,
but we iluu that our most intelligent customers say that u is
& . BLESSING IN THE HOUSEHOLD
and arc enthusiastic and speak in the highest terms of praise about it. Why don't you advertise it ? "
It is therefore that we are making this extraordinary effort to biing A. B. C. Soap to the notice of
every intelligent person and in order to induce every one to buy it , and continue to use it until they have
fully tested its merits , we say to them
SAVE THE ABC WRAPPERS
And send them to us during the months of June or December next , and we shall distribute among yon
on array of presents which , for magnificence and usefulness , surpasses everything , heretofore offered by
any one firm.
Send four cents in stamps and we will RCIK ! you a catalogue , which is now in course of preparation
and which will give you a full description of all the presents and the mode
TO OBTAIN A PRESENT >
Those who have not used A. B. C. Soap , of course , will ask , "what is it ? "
A. B. C. Soap is our own invention , and all who have used it cheerfully concede to it the merit of
being the greatest improvement ever made in domestic economy. A. B. C. Soap , and the MODE OF
WASHING WITH IT , is as different from all other soaps , and the old way of washing , and is as
.much an improvement over the old system , as traveling by railway is over that by an ox-cart. A girl of
tS , or the most delicate person , can wash
