COMPLAINTS OF THE BLUFFS They Arc Still Being Heard By the Railway Commissioners. THE FLAMMANT' SHOOTING. Stllnn Held Under I/oxv Ilnll A nt Missouri Volley Nip- n 1'nlr ol'Sliocs The Al len Hey Get * Off ISupy. Down on the Union 1'nclllc. The investigation of the complaints made by Council Uliill's citizens against the management of the Union Pacific kept the Iowa railway commissioners busy yesterday. There was not much gleaned which was icfresliingly new. What will it al. amount to ? That Is the query heard on every side. It is dlfllcult to pi edict. The mode of procedure is simply to tike what evidence there Is presented on both sides. Then a time will be set tor the making of arguments. In the meantime the notes of the short hand reporter will be tnu&cribcd. The arguments will bom writing , and after alflhis is done then the commissioners will make up a report. It may be weeks or months before this report is made. Then there re nains thu question whether the Union 1'aellic will follow the sug gestions mailc by tliecommlssioncVs if un favorable to their present policy of alleged discrimination against Council lilntls. Yesterday Mr. Kimball was examined further concerning the running of trains over the bridge ami the shipment of stock. Mr. Uorrance , superintendent of the Nebraska division , also testified. Both claimed that no discrimination was shown against Council lilufls. They were ex amined closely concerning the way trains were made tip , in order to see if they could not be made to admit that , prac tically , Council lilull'b was not made the terminus in accordance with the spirit of the mandamus. They explained that in accordance with their interpretation of the meaning of the mandamus they were complying with it It seems that the whole of this part of the investigation hinges on the construction to be placed on the mandamus. They claimed that there were no pas senger trains to or from Omaha but what left and r.rrived in Council Uluft's. 'Hie freight trains were made up so that Council Blulls shippers had equal accom modations with Omaha shippers. More information was sought yester day in regard to the stock yards. There rnCill'J'l ' iv L fj'.Vitsirtlingdevelopments. It was conceded that tlie business tinu been transferred to Omaha and that a largo poition of the stock yards hero hail been taken up and moved over there ; but it was claimed that in doing so the company was trying to meet tnctlemands of the shippers themselves instead of hav ing any desire to discriminate against Council Dlufl's. They claimed that the stock yards here , or what there was lett of them , were kept in suitable condition to meet all requirements. Superintendent Dumb was examined at length yesterday afternoon. He ad mitted that the focu at the Council HlufTs yards had been poor on several occa sions , but the cause of complaint speedily removed. Samuel Haas , of this citya well-known -stock man , testified to the condition of the stock yards and gave in detail some of its faults showing that they were not maintained in .suitable condition. Mr. Henry Swan , another extensive stock man , also testified and strongly so , in support of the complaint made by Council Dlnfl's as to the poor condition of the yards , and the neglect and discrimi nation shown by the management. Mr. George A. Keclinc testified on the same subject. He had to pay as high as ! ? . < ) a ton for hay at the Council Dlufls stock yards. He cited the instance in which lie shipped cattle from Pine Ulufl' , consigned to Council Dlufls , the cattle being in charge of his brother. The trains were stopped at the South Omaha stock yards. His brother telegraphed him and ho telegraphed to the manager of the stock yards in Council Dlutl's and to the chief train dispatcher to have the cat- tied forwarded to Council Dlufl's or ho would sue the road. The dispatcher answered that the Council Dlufls stock yards were too crowded , and they had better remain at South Omaha. Mr. Kec- line replied that the cattle must be shipped to Council Dlufl's. On going to the yards ho found there was plenty of room there for the cattle. Air. George Kecline , father of the pre ceding witness , was the next witness. He testilied that the yards hero did not have enough men to handle the stock which would naturally come here , and that the feed and other facilities were poor. There arc still about fifteen witnesses from Council Dlnfl's to bo examined , which will take several days yet. The board then adjourned to meet at 8 o'clock this morning.

The trial of the case of the State vs. Mike Flammant occupied most of the time in thu district court yesterday. The charge was that of assault with intent to murder. The affair occurred in Minno- ola , July 10 , 1888 , and the case was brought hero from Mills county on u change of venue. It awakens considera ble interest here , as Mr. Flammant lived hero for a number of years , being em ployed by John Done , ( Jrovowcg & Sehoontgen and others. Ho was at onetime time a clerk in the postoflico , and was elected and served as county recorder for one term. After leaving- Council Dlufl's ho opened a store in Minncola. On the day named a customer named Henry Ueit/lercamointo tho.stoic to settle his account. Mr. I'lammant told him Ihn amount duo , ? 02 , and Deit/.ler flow into a passion , declaring there was no such amount justly due , but he finally paid it. In the afternoon Flammant and Deitxlor met accidentally in a saloon. The quarrel was resumed by Delt/ler ami Flammant drew out a pocket knife to protect himself. Dcit/.er drew a revolver and an outsider grabbed him. As he did so the revolver went oft' , or was fired by Ueit/lcr , the ball striking tho'lloor. I'lammant ran homo , loaded his shot-gun and started out to find a constable to have Deit/.ler arrested. After getting the constable the two went down thu business street , hunting for leitv.ler. Hammant discovered him standing in a saloon door , and firing began. F.ueh tired at least twice. One bystander was wounded slightly in the cheek , but neither of the chief participants was in jured. Assoon as Flummant had emptied both barrels of his gun ho ran away. I he prosecution claimed that Flam- maul armed himself to shoot leit/ler , and that he hunted him down and com menced shooting at him. Fliunmnnt claims that he was afraid that Deitzler would shoot him , and so armed himself for protection , and that ho did not com mence shooting until Dcitzlcr * begun firing at him. A large number of wit nesses testified that during an acquaint ance of many jcars they had always found Ftammaut to be peaceable and law-abiding. Memorial I my. To the Editor : The Nonpareil of May 20 contains the following : "While the question of the propriety of conducting memorial services of the Sab bath is being discussed , tlio following may be of interest : " Then follow three passages of Scrip ture taken from Matthew , Luke and John , referring to the visit of the disci ples to the tomb of their crucified Lord , carrying spices , etc. Our friend of the Nonpareil has forgot ten ono or two quite important facts in connection with that subject. In the first place , the "first day of the week" on which those memorable visits were made was not celebrated as the Sabbath until after the resurrection of our Lord , ami the holy day was changed from the .se.venth to the first day , by the early disciples , to commemorate that event. Therefore , going to the tomb on the morning of "the first day" was equiv alent to our going on Monday morning. Again , they went quietly , two or three together , with sad hearts anil hushed voices , and not In noisy crowds in gala dress , headed by bauds of music. Quito adillcrcncc , you see. If theie wore no moral objections against lining the Sabbath for memorial services , there are certainly physical rea sons. People who labor six days need the peace ami rest of the seventh to re- cnperatc their bodily strength , which they cannot do if several hours of the day arc spout in the excitement of a busy throng , in the open air , under the broil ing .sun of a hot May day.

' ' on l''s ' ' occasion began to assemble in the forenoon , bringing mm them a lunro tent , which was soon erected in the beautiful lawn before the residence of Mr. Allen. In the shade ot the tent tables were set , which at noon fairly groaned beneath their load of the delicacies and necessaries of life. .lust beforo'thc- were enjoyed the attention of tne company was directed to Mr. ami Airs. Alltj.i , who , in an appropriate way , renewed the pledges of their first mar riage and received the congratulations of their friends. The company Hum repaired to the dining tent and the divine blessing was invoked by Rev. H. E. Flickinger , of Walnut. Everything was well arranged , and this open air feast was one long to bo remembered by all who were present. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon refrcshments.consisting of ice cream and cake , were served.

The jury In the case of Walter Allen has returned a verdict finding him guilty of assault and battery. Walter is a boy who was elwged with so having beaten and kicked a playmate , son of J. W. Morse , as to cause his death. It was claimed that the Allen boy had on several previous occasions beaten and abused the Morse boy. On this occasion the latter was hurrahing for some political candl- date while on his way home from school , and the Allen boy ordered him to stop or else hurrah for the other candidate. The Allen boy then pounced upon him , The Morse boy was taken sick , and in the course of a few days died. The jury was out from 10 o'clock in the morning until midnight , and they agreed upon the finding - ing of guilty of assault and battery.

Owing to the fine weather the farmers are all busy In the fields , fomo planting corn and others cultivating. The corn outlook on the bottoms is excellent , and the prospects for a good crop arc very promising. J D. McKinncy's boiler shop wns broken into recently and about $75 worth of tools taken. Up to the present tlmo no clue has been found which would lead to the recovery of tne goods or the perpe trators of the theft. The saloon question 13 * al present tlio all absorbing toutc of conversation. Last week secret warrants were sworn ouj against all the saloons' ' , and but very little budge" was found. The reason of this is probably from the fact that the sa loon men are expecting such raids anil keep but small quantities at iho saloons After tlio seizure wns made the "find" was deposited in the basement of the billiard hull of Harmon & Carlton. Dur ing the night it was spirited away ami deposited In a box car , but the night watch "caught onto" the game nnd got it back again. The city authorities refused to allow it to bo placed in the calaboose and It was taken to the residence of Mr. Cole , who lives about half a mile from town , where It was supposed it would rest In safety until the day of trial , but when the morn ing dawned , lot and behold , it had mys teriously disappeared again. The ques tion now is. who stole the "forbidden ? " The temperance people claim it was the saloon men , and they claim it was the "fanatics" who stole it from themselves and are laying the blame on them. Who ever it was , one theory n certain , its gone , as cll'eotually so as if had disap peared down the throats of the thirsty. When tlio liquors were seix.cd the saloon sympathisers declared they would sign the remonstrance to the removal of the county scat , but this is probably "cliafl' . " It has been currently reported that the se.i/.uro was a scheme , llr.st started by Logauites , for the purpose of creating dissension in Missouri Valley on the county. seat question , but when the citi- x.ens see how they have been victimized by this kind of a scheme the religion will go the other way.

' A PiigiliBt'f ) Wc > iindcaPrido. , Chicago Times : Charles Mitchell , the pri/o lighter , commcnced-suif in the su perior court for $25,000 , damages yester day , against the Chicago Dai y News for alleged slaiider. The action appears to bo taken more for an advertisement than anything else. After County Commis sioner Duck McCarthy on torca suit against ( lie paper for sfc.Vi.OOO dlunuges , a week ago , for saying editoriaiy'that ' ho was a lighter of no mean abilities , but that un fortunately wherever ho showed his prowess his followers qvidvuccd their character by ( ill-tapping , thoi papur had so in u remarks to make on'tho suit. It humorously referred to a visit of McCarthy to the editor with a doimCnd lo know the writer of the first article /or 'which s.uit was brought , the commisiioner saying ho would break his neck if hit found him. It then proceeded to say that it had no hesitation in telling the commissioner who the writer of the objectionable article was. It was Charles Mitchell , the puglist , who had just knocked out Jack Durke , and If the commissioner was still desir ous of twisting anybody's neck he would be ammimodatcd if he called on Mitchell. The sickly luimy pervading the para graph was not appreciated by Mr. Mitch ell , as yesterday's suit shows , Mauna Loa , the Hawaiian volcano , is situated on tlie aonthcrn fdopo of the Mauna Loa mountain , some several thousand feet below the apex. The crater proper is nine miles in circumference and about 000 feet deep. Tlio floor of this crater is covered with black Java , and every few weeks or' months , it re ceives a new coating. The heat of the earth is caused by light impinging upon the earth's substances ami its friction through the atmosphere , that is , it wo accept the "Newtonian1' ' theory of light. If , however , the theory of "undulation" is believed , then heat is caused In substantially the snmo way by the action of these rapid waves or undu lations , for in no case will heat bo found till within the bounds of the atmosphere.
