A new eh ng- was ning in the cele
brated Dr. Dopre case with the creditors
of C O. Herold in chambers before
.Judge Pound yesterday , the ajtion being
one in hubnu : corpus to otcurethe release
of Mr * . Bjrtha Dogge. wife o ! Dr.
Dogge , from the county jail aud the cus
tody of the sheriff , she having been com
mitted there the Any before for refusing
to testify or give in her deposition before
n notary. It will be remembered that
sifter ( ho trial nnd conviction of llorold
on the charge of defrauding hi' , creditors ,
nnd the trial and acquittal of Dr. Dogge
as an accessory in the case , that the
creditors , Hart Bros , and others , through
their attorney , commenced a civil suit
ngainst the Dogges , Mrs. Bertha Dogge
having at about that time purchased a
large and commodious property on the
corner of P aud Sixteenth street * . This
r.ivil suit was brought by the above men
tioned creditors against Mrs. Bertha
Dogge , Otto 11 , Dogge and ChriMain G.
Herold to subjoat the property held
liy Mrs. Dogce in her name
to the payment of the Herold
debt ? . Notice was served on the Dogges
to appear before W. J. Houston , a notary
public of this city , so that their deposi
tions in the case could be taken The
Dogges acting , it is stated , under instruc
tions from their attorney , refused and
failed to appear , whereupon the notary
issued an attachment for Mrs. Dogge ,
and when she was brought to the notarv's
oflicehe refused to testify and was by
the notary committed to jail for contempt
tempt- Immediate steps were then taken ,
as before narrated , for the release of the
prisoner thr < ugh a writ of habeas corpus.
The point at issue in the case , the legal
question , seems to be as to whether the
defendants can be compelled to testify in
a court of deposition , they being resj-
denls at the place where the .suit is .insti
tuted and where it will be heard. It does
not appear that the question as to
whether the notary exceeded his power
in committing the woman to jail is the
one of prominence , but rather the ques
tion is up for settlement whether deposi
tions can betaken in the locality where
all parties reside prior to court times.
That feuch depoitioni may be required
is often met with the argument that life
is uncertain , that location is uncertain ,
and that sudden callings away are often
improvised by those who do not wish to
testify , and on these jrrounds the right
to demand depositions in important cases
seems to be often concedeu. The ques
tion in this case of extra judicial powers
l > einjr conferred on a notary public , in
the wav of commitments , is one of inter
est , and the BED will furnish the decision
that the case will bring in a future arti

The case of Frank Skinner , bound over
by the police Judge on a charge of tape ,
was up before Judge Parker on a plea of
habeas corpus , which the jnd < re sustained ,
holding that the police judge had no ju
risdiction as examining magistrate in
criminal matters arising outside the cor
porate limits of the city. There are a
number of lawyers who have expressed a
decldedjy opposite opinion to the judge's
rulings in this case , but it rests as one of
those points in which judges disagree.
Youn-c Skinner was not allowed his lib
erty , however , the judge remanding him
back to the custody of the sheriff , to be
held until a new complaint oould be
lodged against him. The complaint was
duly forthcoming , and Skinner can now

HE BURIED TONS OF COIN.
Squire Wliitc'ei Rich Deposit of
.Money in Hip Hot-House
arid Garret.
Squire Aaron White , the most eccen
tric man in eastern Connecticut , died a
few dnys ago at Thompson , aged 80
years , says tlie New York Sun. He was
a lawyer , and everybody in his neighbor
hood knew him , because 1 e had a level
head. His many eccentricities gained
him even greater fame. Ho was born in
Rnode Island. When Governor Dorr
was the executive head of the state Aaron
was the attorney general. He was n man
niter that queer politician's own heart ,
and he took part in the great Dorr rebel
lion. Squire White had to flee after the
insurrection had been suppressed , and ho
came into Connecticut and settled in
Thompson , in the little village of New
Boston , a few rods from tlie Quinnebaug
depot on the Norwich 6 : Worcester rail
road.
At last he lay down to die of old age ,
and then , although his mlud was clear ,
and a lawyer and several neighbors
asked him about his estate , he kept mum
about the hot-house. He "didn't care to
talk about mont-v , " lie said , "but he had
a will , prjperly made out , in the bureau-
drawer , that would explain tilings. " He
died peacefully , and not manv davs after
his burial his executors and other per
sons gathered at hi ? farm-house to see
how much money he had left , and what
to do with it. By the terms of the will all
his property had been left to u brother
wiio lives in. Hackeusack , N J. , and has
a Vusiness in New York city ; but the
document said nothing about the con
servatory or any other propertj except
the dwelling and tlie land. The execu
tors were puzzled. They felt sure that
Squire \ \ inte must have had a deposit of
coin somewhere , because he had been col
lecting it for many years , but there was
nothing to indicate that it was in a bank ,
and visits to banks in eastern Connecti
cut helped them not at all Where was
it , then * they asked themselves. At Jast
a bright idea popped into the brain of
Oil I' .
"Perhaps it is buried in the hothouse
or secreted under the floor in the garret. "
Tlie idea was acted on at once. The
men began to dig They dug down into
the earth for several feet in the conserva
tory , and the spade struck something
solid. They unearthed it. It wai a
moldy and rottintr cigar box. The cover
fell olT , and it was found to be packed
solid full of pennies of all dates in the
last thirty or forty years. Again they
due , and everywhere in the hothouse , at
a depth of about two feet , they upturned
a cigar IKIX packed either with pennies
or nickels or silver or gold pieces. Over
the whole ground they went with their
soades , sometimes turning up gold and
sometimes silver pieces or pennies. Tlie
search was continued for several days ,
and. after all the ground had been dug
up and the cigar boxes stacked , it was
found that over four tons of coin had
been taken out of the earth in the hot
house. Next they wont to the garret ,
and under the floor was found many
hundped dollars of gold and silver.
All the coin , about $0,000 or $7,000 , was
at once shipped in bags on freight cars to
Squire Aaron White's brother in Hnck-
eusack. Many of the cigar boxes in the
garret had been badly gnawed by rats ,
but the rats got awav with" none
of the wealth. Mr. White's plan
during the latter part of his life WHS to
buy pennies directly from the govern
ment ; bv the government system of ex
change he could get fl.20 in pennies for
? 1 In pupc-r. He was cspeciallj- fond of
pennies , and there were so many of
them that in shipping them to the heir his

executors used "big grain snovcls with
beveled edges to shovel them into the
coarse eacke in which they were for
warded to New Jersey.

HE TOUCHED TOBY'S TOPKSOT
An Ohio Convict Takes in a Trusting Paison
and Escapes ,
The Story of ChatlrjClark's H cnpe
Irum a Penitentiary Person
al inc a Preacher lo
Perfection.
For obvious reasons the keepers of jnils
neil ttate prisons make it n point to sttp-
Hr * s all particulars of escane PO fsr as
lies in their power , and as escaping pris
oners wldoin boasl of tlirfr deeds , the
puMic remain in urnorsnce of much that
is deeply iiUero Ung regarding convict *
nii'l those employed to guard them.
Tlie escape ol Charles Clark , alias
Charles Stetson , alias Red Charley. n d
alias several other titles , from the Ohio
state prison some years ace , was a fair
sample of the genius and dcspuralion of
a professional crook who had been "sol-
tied" for seven or eight years for rob
bery From the moment Clark entered
the nrison ho began making mental note *
for future use. The number of doors ,
the location of guards , the defences of
various windows , the lay of the sewers ,
thr thickness of the walls every point
was noted and stored up in his memory.
He was assigned to a cell on the ground
tier In three days he had estimated
the distance to the ouWdc wall to a frac
tion of nn inch His Idea wa to re
move one of the flagstones from the floor
of this cell and tunnel out , and within
sixty hours aft r being receivpd in the
prison he was at work. With sin old
chisel which he managed to secrete and
bring in from the shop , lie scraped out
the cement from around the stone. One
of the corridor sentinels passed his door
every half hour , during the1 night and it
was two weeks before Cl-irk had the
stone ready to lift out. He found u foot of
concrete under the stone , and he went
through that and hid the dirt in his bed.
He calculated tnnt the sewer for that
wing run within fourteen feet of hi * cell
and he wasn't right. He wanted to make
sure of it simply to carry off the dirt from
his tunnel. l-ormany weeks he dug at
night unsuspected by the sentinels , but
as he had to carry the dirt out in his
pockets each morning , but made slow
progress. It was nine weeks before he
struck the sewer , which - as ot brick.
When he had made an opening the sewer
gas poured out in such quantities as to
ultuost suffocate'him. Indeed , it poured
through the tunnel and filled the corri
dor until the prison officials were
alarmed and begun to search for the
cause. Clark hnd to go down and stop
up the hole , and he was made ill for a
week. At the end of that time'he tried it
again , but the gas was worse than before
and he found himself obliged to give up
the undertaking He could have caMly
run the tunnel , but there was no other
way to dispose of the dirt. Ho replaced
the flagstone , cemented it with do'igh ,
and hi ell'ort' ; were uninspected.
Clark had been in prison about five
months when he concocted another plan.
From some local convicts he got the
name of a minister of the gospel in the
county who somewhat resembled him in
general appearance. He also ascertained
that the man was very timid and kind-
hearted. Pretty * eon Clark -was seized
with an "indisposition , " and while not
sick enough to be sent to the hospital , he
was excused from work in the shop and
permitted to remain in his cell. The
j > risen chaplain found him an eager list
ener to his exhortations and matters
were soon so shaped that he was led to
believe that Clark had something on his
mind. When pressed to admit that such
was the case , the prisoner he-Hated just
long enough to put the chaplain's curios
ity on t-dge. Yes , he had something on
his mind. It was something the itev.To
bias Green ou ht to know. If he would
call at the prison some day he should
hear n confession which would clear up a
great mystery and set cortaiu things
right.
For three or four days Clark beat
about the bush , playing the chaplain for
all he was worth , and the result was that
the Rev. Tobias Green visited the prison
with his mind made up to listen to some
staange 1 and wonderful confession. It
was not Clark's day for confessing. He
realized that ho was a bad b-.vd man.
and was quite willing to talk about his
soul and his future , but he would tcli his
storj' some other day the dav after to
morrow. An appointment was made for
that day with the Rev.Tobias Green , and
he departed , feelinc that he had greatly
softened the heart of a desperate man.
' ' " "
C'lark's "indisposition" increased some
what , just enough to keep him in his cell
and to prevent him from being too closely
watched. The chaplain came in and
prayed with hin the doctor sent him a
lew doses of quinine and whenever any
one looked into his cell the man was
lying on his bed.
At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of tbo
day designated the Rev. Tobias Green
put in an appearance. It was midwinter
aad the day was so cold that the preacher
was well bundled-un , having on a heavy
overcoat and a fur cap and muffler. The
day was BO dark that some of tlie halls
were lighted. One of tlie hall masters
conducted the preacher to Clark's cell
and left him , and the good man took the
convict by the hand and anxiouslv in
quired at'U-r the state of his health. " Not
more than two minutes had elnpsod be
fore tbo preacher was lying on his back
on the bed , with a gag in his mouth and
his thoughts terribly mixed up from a
rap on tlie head. When no had got mat
ters straightened out he was stripped to
his shirt and drawers , aud his hands and
fo t were securely tied. Clark had prepared -
pared himself for the job , and it WHS done
in a prompt and thorough manner In-
.sida of ten minutes he was dressed in the
preacher's clothing , while the latter was
covered up with the blankets. Then the
convict sat down with his back to the
door and kept up a mumbling conversa
tion for half an hour. During this time ,
as he himself related , he poured into the
preacher's cur all the stories he had ever
heard to the detriment of the "cloth. "
He finally ended by singing a hymn , and
when he passed outside the cell door he
turned and said , in a voice meant to be
heard by the hall watchman-
"Good night , my son. I truly hope
that this A isit has been the means of do
ing you good I will come again to
morrow , it possible. "
With that ho started for the hall , and
the watchman passed him to the wicket.
This was unlocked without question , as
also were all other obstructions to
liberty , and he reached die street with
out the slightest hindrance , He had
relatives in the suburbs of the city ,
although the fact was not known to the
prison oflicials. and he walked straignt to
the house and was taken in. The Rev.
Tobias Green remained passive until the
hour came for the men to be locked up ,
when he was discovered. An alarm was
at once sent out , but Clark was safe * He
remained secreted in the house for about
a month , and wi j then shipped away ,
and his capture was never efiectcd. In
relating his story be said that the five or
six minutes necessary for him to pass out
of the prison aged him more than two
year of his life.

A BEGGAR S ROMANCE ,
Once the Belle of Salt l nko and Now
Compelled to Grind a
Uand-Orcan.
Did you ever notice the little old
woman who turns the crank of n whcerr
hand-orgnu on one of the Chicago via
ducts * Day after day , summer and win
ter , rain or shine , she is seated there on a
little camp-stool grinning out the same
old distracting tunes. Hot or cold , she
always wears thr- same faded gown ,
and the same threadbare shawl is al-
wjiys drawn tightly across her shoul
ders. A little hlack bonnet , rusty
with ace , is pulled well down over her
forehead so as to hide her pinched and
care-worn feature1 ; Perhaps you Imvo
caught a chance glimpse of her pale face
and saw something in the pitiful express
ion that caused von to pause lor an in
stant and drop a coin into the little tin
cup. It urobsibly never occurred to you
that the life history of this street beggar
is interlined witn a choice bit of romance.
You certainly never dreamed that the
humble creature before yon was once the
belle of Salt Lake City , n leader of
fashion , and the heiress to millions. Yet
she was. She is the eldest daughter of
John Brigham Yonn r , one of the wealth
iest men in Utah , and a lavont
niece of the once famous Mormon
prophet. She was reared in luxury and
received a liberal education. Gifted with
rare musical talents she became cele

and just as she"was. budding into woman
hood he pledged her hand to it rising
young elder frhd had been active in
proselyting fonnhe Mormon church. The
daughter remonstrated , but without
avail. _ . .
A short time before the day set for
the wedding she was secretly married tea
a yonnjr news-paper man. He was a
gentile. When her father got wind of
the marriage he renounced his daughter
und cast her out of his house. She fled
with her luinbauJ. to New York , where
he obtained employment as a reporter on
n morning newspaper. Shortly after ,
his eyesight became aflected and he was
unable to retain his position. Then came
the struggle for an existence. Their litUe
savings wore soon exhausted in U ing to
restore the hu-band's evesight , and after
three years' treatment he became totally
blind. Though disinherited and reduced
to poverty , the devoted wife remained
true to her marriage vows. She wrote to
her father , beggfng him to aid ner , but
receiving no reply sought for employ
ment. Every one turned a deaf ear to
her appeals for work , and as a last resort
she accepted an engagement in a concert
saloon There her splendid voice at
tracted attention , and she was able to
earn enough to give her blind husband a
comfortaoic home. Their prosperity ,
however , was short-lived , for not long
after she was pro-tracted by sickness uncl
the fever robbed her of her voice and left
her but a wreck of her former self. Dis
heartened in spirit and feeble in health
she began the lite of a street becgur.

finally locating in Chicago , the Mecca
for poverty-stricken Bohemians. Al
though dragged down to the very depths
of despair and degradation , she ha-
stfadfastly clung to the sightless old man
who unwittingly caused her downfall.
Recently a woman who knew the beggar
many years ago saw and recognized lier.
and by close questioning elicited the sad
story of hur unfortunate career.

Neb. , July M. { Corre-

are only too anxiom to prove western
Nebraska en arid d s rt , and notwith

prwHeted by tlieui before spring opened ,
and they have hailed the general drought
which has extended from Ohio to Texas
ns an excuse to decry Keith county in
particular , where the influx of settlers
lias been greater than elsewhere , and al
most every government section occupied
To test the truth of these reports 1 vis
ited Keith county , ami drove 140 mile ? in
difl'errnt direction * , and can present the
following report- Abundant snow fell
all through March , and also in April.
During all the spring rains were frequent
and abundant. , lune 21sl a very heavy
ruin fell , so that the water has stood in
hollows and depression ? up to the pre
sent time ; June S8th alight rain extended
over the country , July 30th a heavy rain
fell in southeastern Keith , making sod
down tlireo inches , und pprmiting break
ing to be resumed ; July 17th a light rain
fell everywhere , and in southeastern
Keith n very heavy rain ; July Iflth a six
hours' continuous gentle nun occurred ,
and at the present moment , July SOtli , it
is dmr.ling , with rain threatening , the
sky being wholly overcast.
On my trip 1 entered Kt-ith county near
Dexter , drove to Ogainlia , thence north-
we t ten miles and back , then twdiity
miles further southwest into Colorada.

tht-iicj lourtoen miles southwest and
north and west to Ogalalla 1 did not
visit southeast Keith where rain was

abundant harvest of small grain , espec
ially oats , which will yieJd from forty to
sixtv bushels to the acre on old ground.
last year's sod. Even on this spring's
breakjng 1 saw good fields of oats which
will yield from twenty to thirty bushels.
The dry spell hits not hurt small grain at
all. On old ground the stand of corn
was better than anywhere else in the
state that I had visited and this included
the Republican valley as far west as
Cambridge , the main line of B. & M. ,
to Kearney and the IMatte valley
by team from Central City to Ogalalla.
Nowhere in Keith was the corn shriveled
or fired , bed corn is not as good as last
year. The Eland is very thin , owing
largely lo the depredations of gophers ,
which' skillfully follow tlie line made by
the ulantcr and take cverv kernel. ; > od

The only yellow corn I saw was some
sod corn planted in a sand draw. Veg
etables are scarcely as good as last year ,
potatoes not being so 'larjje. althouch a
numerous crop , but everywhere the sod
gardens are yielding good measures of
peas and beans. From Ogainlia south

aged or anxious to sell out _ On the con
trary , our heaviest farmers are breaking
all they can , and many settlers have
from 100 to Ji-'O acres under cultivation.
As everyone knows , this has been a par
ticularly dry summer , but the rainfall
statistics- will show that rain , more fre
quent and in larger quantities , has fallen
in eastern Nebraska than anywhere east
of the 101st meridian.
The B. & M. has run two surveys
through southern Keith , and evidently
nieans business. The question of wells
is proving much less troublesome than
expected. They are found in places at a
depth of a few feet only , while water is a
sure thin" ; nt 200 feet on the top of the

Hoxr a Married. Woman Goes to Sleep.
Cincinnati Enquirer There is an arti
cle going the rounds entitled. "How the
Girls Go to bleep. " The manner in
which they go to sleep , according to tlie
article , can't hold a candle to the way a
married woman goes to sleep. Instead
of thinking what she should have at
tended to Drfore going to bed , she thinks
of it afu.-rw.ard. While she is revolving
these matters in her mind , and while
snugly tucked up in bed , the old man is
scratching his legs in front of the lire
\vondering how he will pay the next
mouth's rent. Suddenly she exclaims.
"James , did you lock the door1
'Which door > " says James.
"The cellar door , " says she.
"No , " says James.
"Well , you had better go down and
lock it , for 1 heard some one in the bnck
yard last night. "
Accordingly James paddles down the
stairs and locks the door. About the
time James returns and is going to bed
she. remarks : "Did you shut the stair
door ? "
"No , " says James.
"Well , if it is not shut the cat will getup
up into the chamber. "
"Let her come up , then , " says James ,
ill-naturedly.
"My goodness , no ! " returns his wito ;
"fhe'd suck the baby's breath. "
Then James paddles down stairs again
and steps on a tack , and closes the stair
door and curves the cat , and returns to
tlie bedroom. Justus he begins to climb
into his conch his wife observes : "I for-
cot to bring up some water ; suppose jou
bring up some in the big tin.1
And so James , with a muttered curse ,
goes down into the dark kitchen and falls
over a chair , and rasps all the tinware oil'
the wall in search of the "big" ' tin. and
then jerca the stair door open and howls
"Where the deuce are tl.e matches * '
She gives him a uilnuto direction where
to fitm the matches , and adds that she
would rather go and get the watT
herself than.have the whole neighborhood
raised about it. After which .lames finds
the matches , procures the water and
comes up-stairs and plunges into bod.
Presently his wife says : "James , lot's
and don't care , " shouts J times , as ho
lurches around and jams his face against
the. wall ; "all I want is sloop. "
"That's all very well for you , " sna )5
his wife , as he pulls the oocrs viciously ,
" you never think of the worry and
trouble that I have. And there is Ar-
minta , who , I believe , is taking the
measles. "
"Let her take 'era. " saj-s James.
Hereupon she begins to cry softly , but
about the time Jamckisfalluigintoa gon-
tie doze shu punches him in the ribs with
her elbow and say . "Did you hoar that

Concerning tapestry-velvets it is diffi
cult to estimate Any modern tapestry
loom can be adjusted for velvets , and it is
difficult to luarn how many are to-day
weaving velvet carpets. A tapestry loom
will rim out filty yards of velvet per day ,
and the possible yield of the country can
be gotten at by multiplying all the tapes
try looms in portion by the 'product of
one. Velvets were popular from England
fortv to fifty years ago and even earlier.
