Deputy United States Mnrshal Allen
wns busy yesterday serving Miubpa-nas In
highly Bcnsationnl injunction suit com
menced in tlio United States court by
John 11. Hosier , of 1'eiiiis.ylvnula , against
William A. Paxton , Thomas Swobc ,
Frank Murphy , diaries \V. Hamilton ,
Potcr Her , J. M. Woohvorlh and Milton
Itoffcrs , of the South Omalia Land Syiull-
ciito. The suit grows out of the recent
syndicate troubles which have already
been clearly otitliifed In tlioso columns.
IJosler seeks to enforce the transfer of the
South Omaha Syndicate land to him , as
per alleged agreement for $750,000. , In
support of his request he presents some
interesting tnrts.
The petition gors on to recite the facts
about the purchitHo of the land several
years ago by the syndicate , the incorpor
ation oitlichtocl : company and the issu
ance of bonds. It thiiii recites that dls
pensions finally arose between the mem
bers of the syndicate , as well as anxiety
and doubt about the problem of meeting
the payment of the lirwt scrie& of
bonds which Were fast maturing This
dissatisfaction with the management of
uflhiragrew more and more pronounced ,
and llnally it was determined to sell the
land. On the ? th of May , 1835 , a
meeting of the directors wns had. A resolution
elution was passed authorizing Mr. Alex
Swan to bell the land to anv responsible
party , provided ho could get $750,000 for
it , tliesnlo to bo effected by thelirstof
August , 188(1. ( On the eighth of July ,
1830 , it ifl alleged , Mr. Swan
wns present at a meeting of the
syndicate directors , and told them that
lie would bo readv to ull'ect the sale at an
early day None of them dissented. On
the 23d of .July following the transfer of
the property to the plriintiir , lioslcr , was
named upon by Mr. Swan , for the sum
of $750,000. July 21 Hosier came to
Omaha , expecting to close up the details
of the sale , and found Hamilton , Murphy ,
unit Swobo working tooth and nail to de
feat the execution of the contract , and
1'lj'ing their associates with every argu
ment to prevent them from agreeing to
the fiitle.
These three men , Hosier alleges , entered
into a grand conspiracy to accomplish
their cim of defeating the sale to Hosier.
According to his petition a scheme was
formed to inducc him ( Hosier ) to pay in
$250,001) ) on hie contract , and then to deposit
posit this amount in Frank Murphy's
bank , the Merchant's National , with all
the other available assets of the syndi
cate. This money oncesafo in the vaults
of the bank , it is charged , and suit would
bo commenced to enjoin the transfer of
the land to Hosier , which was to be
drawn out for years by all the
processes known to the acute legal
mind. After this wrangling had
ono on for a considerable
length of time , one of the conspirators
was to buy in the svndicato land , accord
ing to a plan to be forced upon the other
stockholders. These charges of fraud
arc bucked up by minute details.
The petition "states with reference to
the claims of Milton Rogers that he
purchased but.50,000 worth of bonds , on
which hp paid only $13,500 , For
bis share -of- the purchase money
oflcrcd by' Hosier , ho would have received
$26t800or 115 per cent on his investment ,
besides 7 per cent interest during the two
years.
The document concludes by asking for
the appointment of a receiver for the
moneys of the syndicate , and also that
the directors be enforced to niako the
transfer to Hosier. Judge Dundy has
cited the defendants to appear before
him on the first day of court , and will
then lake action on Hosier's request.
In all probability Mr. Herman Kountzo
will bo appointed receiver. Yesterday af
ternoon a demand was madoby thn'plaln-
tiff's attorneys , Tliuivston and Hall , for
the possession of the property , and it was
believed that the defendants would turn
the same over upon the appointment of a
receiver.
WANTED IT ENDED.
Ilow Nclllo IlaiiBou Sought to Oon-
elude n Courtship.
She was young , good looking and were
a very sweet smile as she approached
Judge Stenborg , on the conclusion of
polloo court business yesterdayjmorning.
"What can I do for you , madame , "
asked the judge , stroking his long mus-
taoho complacently , as the vision of
female beauty ensconced itself in the
chair beside him.
"I want to talk to you in private , sir , "
faltered the young lady , as she gazed
timidly around at Police Court Clerk
Pontzoland a crowd of spectators who
wore oyomg her from the lobby.
The judge told her that she could
nhmul and toll her story , with every as-
fltmuico that no ono would hear it , pro
vided she Hpoko low enough. The girl
hesitated a moment and then wont on to
pour the tale of her troubles into the
sympathizing oar of the judge , She
wanted , to cut a long btory short , to have
n man by the name of Chris Johnson ar
rested and compelled to marry her. She
paid that nlio had met the young man
four months ago , just about as she waste
to leave town. Ho proteased to fall
deeply in love with her on first sight , and
rather than have the courtship Inter
rupted , she had given up her plans
of leaving Omaha and con
sented for four long months
to listen to the tale of her
suitor's ' lovo. Johnson spent consider
able time in her company , t > hc said , ant1
also managed to spaml considerable ol
her money. This was getting highly
monotonous , and in short , t > ho wanted an
order from Judge Stenberg to have the
marrlago consummated at once. The
young lady , upon questioning , llnally
gave her name as Nellie Hanson. The
liidgo thought over the matter a moment
and decided that ho could do nothing for
the girl , and so informed her , greatly to
her chagrin and astonishment. She lin
nlly wont away , vowmgj to bring Chris
o the marrlago point without delay.or
fhavo blood. "

STILL IN THE RING ,
A Few Facts In Eegard to Omaha's Eoal
Estate Boom-
A SURE AND STEADY MARKET.
The Finest City and Aero Property
to bo Found on the
Market.
There is no business in the city ol
Omnha to-day tbat Is attracting so much
attention as the real estate business.
Every move in real cstato is closely
watched , and speculators and homo
seekers are alike Interested. Time and
hue again it has. been pronhcsicd that
the boom could not lust , nnd that it was
only a question of time when the market
would go to pieces. Notwithstanding all
hcso dlro predictions the real cstato
market was never before as strong and
icalthy as to-day. While Omaha is en
joying a real cstato boom it is a sure and
steady advance in prices. There have
been no scalcy speculations , no attempt ,
o bull the market , but the rapid and
substantial growth of the city Uas natur-
illy forced up the prices of real estate ,
jut not above a reasonable liguroforso
lourishing a city. There has been no
sales made at fabulous prices , but , on the
contrary , most of the property sold has
jcpn considered cheap at the purchase
i > riec.
Because of this healthy state of trade
.n real estate everybody is anxious to in
vest. The rich man and the poor man
juy city property , some for speculation ,
jut moro for the purpose of obtaininjr a
ionic. In this way the city property is
being rapidly picked up and prices are
daily advancing. There are , however ,
two very desirable additions in which
city lots can still bo had at most reason
able figures and on most reasonable
erms. Wo refer to "Mayno Place" aud
'Orchard Hill. " both of which are for
sale by C. E. Mayno , southwest coiner of
fifteenth and Farnam streets.
No place within the city can be found
such choice building Jots as in these two
additions. Seekers of homes fully real-
zo this fact and are daily making pur
chases in these additions. "Maync
'laco" has only been on the market ten
lays and many lots have been sold dnr-
ngthattime. "Orchard Hill , " has only
) i'cn on the market a short time and on
evcrv hand are to bo seen beautiful and
substantial residences in course of con
struction. You may boa little skeptical
u regard to these things , but call at Mr.
Mayne's ollico and you will iind gentle-
nanly salesmen readv to drive you out to
see the property and no harm will be
lone whether you purchase or not. At
my rate it will be a good thing for you
to seethe property and may bo tlio means
os convincing voutiial what has been said
n regarn to tticso additions has not boon
n the least exaggerated.
Before closing wo desire to call your
ittcntion to "Newport. " This is acre
iroporty and is located just west of Ft.
) maha , and [ is the most beautiful strip
of land to bo found in Douglas cpunty.
This is a broad assertion , but a drive to
the propertv will convince you that it is a
mo ono. Only $800 an acre for lots in
'Newport , " and at thcso figures it is the
jest real estate investment in the market.

"The traveling public don't know any

and when these men report , their word is
final. Wo are notified that our services
are no longer required. There is no ap
peal for us. We've ' got to go , unless it
should hapuen that our connection with
some railway ollicial is such that wo can
bring in fluenco to sustain us. When
we are discharged , although not told we-
are thieves , yet the impression left by the
act is that wo have been stealing from
the company , and the latter secretly
looks upon us as guilty. I never knew

of ayonng manltwo ot whoso brothers

Save the Children.
Detrimental food which , by reason of
.heir superior strength/ / may not serious-
y afiect the health of adults , as is well
aiown , frequently acts iipon the moro
lelicato organs of the child to nroduco
lisordcrs of the most serious character.
The amount of laudanum vr other pol on
that would bo harmless to an adult will
cause the death of an infant. This great
lifibreuco between the vitality of ndults
and children is too generally overlooked
n the prcapralion of food. Because no
iiirm immediately pcreoptablo comes to
the adult by llio use of an article of food ,
10 thought is given the ofl'ect it may have
ipon the moro delicate organs of inferior
ago.
Children diet largely upon cake and
> rcad , and these arliclcs , if light , sweet
and composed of materials that are free
rom injurious substances , are easily di
gested , nutritious and wholesome. There
s a danger to our children , however ,
urklug in their bread and , cake which is
,00 often lost sight of. These articles are
low leavened largely by baking powders
aliii when pure and wholesome baking
) owdcrs are used they make not only the
nest palatable food , but one much more
vholesome and nutiitivo than if leav
ened witii ycnst or cream of tartar and
soda. The trouble arises from the fact
as shown by recent scientific tests by the
jovcrnmont chemists and by official
joards of health that all these baking
lowdors , with the single exception of the
loyal , contain cither lime , alum , phos-
) hates or acids of an injurious character.
Therefore when bread or cake is made
vith the use of these cheap baking pow-
lers t ieso ingredients ( winch are present
hrough the oflbrts of the manufacturers
o produce a cheaper article ) pass into
he lood and are taken into the delicate
organs of childhood , where they are the
ourco of very much of the disease with
vhich our children are alllictcd.
Persons who have not strong constitu-
ions , growing girls , young children and
uirsing mothers , are particularly liable
o the evil effects produced by the intro-
luclion of the adulterants named as found
n the cheap baking powders. Heartburn
ind tiio prevalent forms of indigestion
ire often solely traceable to the action of
.him on the delicate coats of the stomach ,
'rofessor Willard Parker , United States
Surgeon-General Hammond , Professor
Alonzo Clark , most eminent physicians
of Now York , with sco % cs of others , have
vritlen and spoken most earnestly of the
jvils arising from partaking of such food.
L'horo should be as much care in the
ihoico of a baking powder as in obtain-
ng pure milk or in having a prcscrip-
ion compounded from pure drugs and
lot from poisons.
The matter is one of the greatest im-
) ortance , particularly to the the rising
generation , and while our conservative
aw makers are making up their minds
as to the proper legislation to stop the
sale of the poisonous compoundsmothers
vill do well to study'it 'carefully. ' The
lousekeoncr will experience no incon-
fenionce in discarding/ / mo of the
ululteratctl baking powder , if she has

Brief Interviews Gathered 'on the
Streets.
A. TMaryott : "I thing Omaha ought
to take some steps to abolish , the same
as other cities , what has now become a
smoke nuisance. There arc days during
the year when certain parts of tbo centre
of the city look like Pittsburg. The coal
dust falls from thcso clouds thick enough
to destroy any place intended to be kept
clean , and , indeed , making necessary a
change of linen for the gentleman who
is engaged in genteel business. These
clouds of smoke are frequently so dense
that the windows of offices , and oven the
hotels , have to bo closed during the day
and night , because there are several
smoke-stacks bolchinir forth dense masses
after night sets in. Now , in other cities ,
this smoke business is declared a
nuisance , and the owners of buildings in
which engines are employed are com
pelled to use smoke consumers. This
ought to be done in Omaha , because she
is suffering relatively as much as Chicago
over did from this abomination.
Councilman Lcc : "I do not believe
that there is anything in the charges
against Street Commissioner Meany.
They are instigated by the democratic
enemies who know that ho is a useful
man in the republican party , and would
like to sco him ousted in order that his
place might bo filled by a democrat. The
charges were trumped up by the same
class of pcoplo that have boon responsi
ble for the charges against Marshal Cum-
mlngs. Mcany has boon a good , faith
ful officer and nn invaluable man in his
place. "
Major D , 77. Wltceten "Yes , I have
heard the report that the nail work's pco
plo had been offered a big sum to move
to Lincoln , but I do not believe that it is
true that such a proposition will bo for a
moment seriousconsidered. ! . Mr.
Walker , the superintendent , might per
haps bo indifferent to the interests of
Omaha in the matter , but Mr. McCand-
lish , who is largely interested , would
never permit the change to bo mado. "
Assistant Fire Chitf Mulligan : " 1 think
n mistake has been amule in the accept
ance of Butler's resignation. Ho is n
good man in a place that is hard to fill.
