Police Points. The only important case in the police court was the trial of Harry Hoof and Ins mistress Kiltie Roof'on a charge of disturbing the peace. The charge was preferred by ono A. N. Crandall , who had been inveigled , as he claimed , into the Hoof establishment on Saturday night and robbed. lie laid the crime to the woman with whom ho had been in a room , and excitedly demanded that she should give up the money , at the samn time drawing a revolver. Harry Koof at once made a jump for him , wrestled the revolver from his hands , and might have shot him but for the interference of the police.

DI8COUD AMONG THE NOTES. Members of the MnMcnl Protective Union In Trouble , There scorn ? to bo a considerable amount of misunderstanding between a number of the members of llio Mu sical Protective union. Some say the organization must go to pieces , and others sav that some of the parties belonging lo It don't know when they are well ofl. The union was organized some months ngo and Was iuti-ndcd to support a unifoim scale of prices for the services of musi cians. Since then , it is claimed that nearly every organisation in thebodyhas violated the agreement. For the lir.st of- foiice a linoof Iifty cents is inllictcil. The second olluncc is punishable bv a line of a dollar , and the third by expulsion. The no\t meeting will be held on Monday evening of next week , when charges against Julius Meyer , for not paying as much as the agreement called for ; and against Prof. Hodman , for placing longer at a parly ' than allowed by the constitution , will b'o preferred. Mr. Meyer's ib-fi-iise will be that ho could not pay more , beeau.se of his contract with the opera hou o. where the oHended musician played llio night ho became dlssatislicd , while that of IlolVman will he that ho did not think a double rate was just , because a musician had played a few minutes over the time first announced. The Oiniiha Mure.'in and C. . M. At St. P. A number of report * have been in cir culation that the Omaha Freight bureau was in some manner responsible for lite recent cut in freights , because of an alleged connection which it was supposed to have with the Chicigo , Milwaukee & St. Paul road. A reporter for the Bin : calh'd on Mr. Grilliths yesterday , and the following interview took place : \ "Is it true , as lias been stated as a rea son for the late cut in freights between Chicago and Omaha , that there has been collusion between the Omaha freight bureau and the Chicago , Milwaukee iV St Paul whereby that road secured an amount of business which was competi tive to all lines * " "No sir. Any such report is unquali fiedly false. There lias not been , nor is there now any arrangement , nnder.statid- l\\ \ \ " or collusion between the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad and this bureau , tending in the slightest degree to interrupt perfect harmony in freight rates between Chicago ! md this city. * ' "Do you know that any of the lines be tween Chicago and this point have for months past been shading rates with the intention of avoiding a settlement of the pool and seizing upon the non-payment of balances by the St. Paul road as a pre text for breaking the pool ? " "I desire to say that oven if I did pos sess the information you seek it can hardly bo expected I could furnish same for publication at this juncture. Your inquiry refers to a subject , primarily of importance to Hie railroad companies themselves. Wo have no concern what ever with their relations to each other unless their action may prejudice thointerests _ of our city ; in which event , whilst sincerely desirous ot maintaining the most cordial relations with the rail roads we shottl'l certainly not consider ourselves as antagonizing them when ottering respectful protests , asking of them straightforward business-like ques tions , or endeavoring , by h'.wful and honorable means to protect our commer cial relations from what wo might deem unfair discrimination. That's all I have to say , sir. " Army Notes. Lieutenant Patton , of the Twenty-first infanty , lias invented a new sclt-register- ing target , which records all the shots made , together with tlieir values and respective distances from the bulls-eye.

OuEiotnox , Neb. , Juno 21 [ Corres poudcnco of the Bir. . ] Itwill be rcmcm bcred that the Omaha Republican of Fcb ruary 8 had charges against Miner W Bruce , register of the United States lam oflico at Niobrara , Neb. , made by otn John 15. Franklin of this county for re fusing to allow him ( Franklin ) to maki liiial proof on nis 1) , S. llling , No. 8,039 embracing the northwest quarter of sec tion 01 , township 31 , range -I , west , foi the reason that said Franklin had no lived on said land as required by the pro cmplion law. An appeal was taken in the case frou llio decision of the regi-ter to the com inissioner of the general land ollice , whc sustained Register Hrncc in his opinion , and decided that Franklin must make n continuous re-idciico hinisrlf on the land before lie can acquire a title to the s-amu. This man Franklin N no\v deputy count v clerk and hi- own ullidavil in the proof showed very little res-.di-ncc on the laud. The baton of allidnviCs pub llsjietl at that time wore for political ellecl. but accomplished nothing. Tln.su are principally the parties who make the most complaint against Commlssioiiei Sparks' rulings who a tlempl to acquire title to lands without complying with the law. I'hu majority of our public domain lias been gobbled up bv land sharks lethe the "real detriment of the honest home steader that Is willing to live on the laud and comply with the law. Would the Republican Un as willing to publMi the true state of facts as it was Hie charges ami alliihnils of Franklin and others lo try and injure Register Bruce for political purpOM's ? The man Kimlmll , who also made an allhlavit at the same time , was trying to acquire title to Kit ) acres under the pre emption law while his entire family were living on KM ) acres adjoining which was lumhalr.s homestead , having made final proof on it less than a year before. The only improvements on his pre emption was a small shanty and a few acres of breaking. lie living on his pre-emption ostensibly , but really living with his family in a good comfortable built house a few rods away. He attempted to make proof and Hrnco ruled that he had not made sullicieiit resilience. An appeal was taken to Commissioner Sparks and Bruce was stf-lained and Kimball's entry ordered cancelled The light here is kept up as of old and everything is done to cover up tiie tracks of the corrupt ring that has held Knox county in her grasp for the past ten or twelve years. The object is to turn the tide against Van Wyek , hut the fact is that among the intelligenl people Van Wye It is Ihe choice of two-thirds of the voters of Knox county and his enemies all know it. We have live papers in the county and only ono is ontspoden against Van Wyek , nine tenths of the iiiteligent farmers 'ami toilers of this .section want him returned Lo the United States Senate , because lie is the only senator Nebraska ever had that has dared to take the side of the farmer , the laborer , and the soldier , to work for tlieir interest instead of the capitalist and the monopolies. There is no doubt that the rings and railroads in the state of Nebraska , will squander thousands of dollars to defeat Him in the next legislature , but the fact remains that ho is the choice ot two thirds of the republican voters of the state. The Omaha Republican of week before last had another grist of charges from the ' 'mill" in Knox county against Uruce. These are as groundless and weak as the Franklin charges and arc all made by his enemies for political eli'ect , but the reaction has taken place in favor of Bruce : here , and thcmaligncrs ire the worst injured , and public nninion s against thcin. They sue the herelingsof : oiTuit political rings and all liore mow it.

Over near the stove lay a man , not dead but badly wounded. " 'I don't know but I'm a little sorry we did it , ' said one of the uroniinent citi/.ens , taking a look at the wounded man'but lie brought it on himself. No man like him has a right to live in the grand old .state of Missouri. The cussed tool disgraced himself and society and acted uugentlemanly right before our lace and eyes , and it made us so mad that wo ju&t had to lix him. ' " 'But what did he do , eolonel ? ' ' "What did he do ? Why , he sat in a game of poker and opened n jack-pot with three aco.s , stood a raio , hut didn't raise back ; drew to cards , caught a little pair ; had his bet raised and then called t'other fellow. Called him. mind you , with a full hand and with plenty of moncv in his poi-Kot , and it was a jack pot ; and the other fellow was able to show down nothing but throe sixes. Such an infernal fool is a disgrace to the .stato of Missouri and li < society , sir , and wo gcnllemen couldn't restrain ourselves. Wo li.\od him in ten seconds.
