An Imprisoned Wife.
Yesterday a rntlicr sensational cpisod in
the mnrried life of two young ncople here
was developed in the story of Mr. ( eo.
Nichols , n young gentleman employed in
the dry goods establishment of S. P.
Jlorsc , ns related to Judge Stenbcrg.
Nichols was married , it seems ,
to n young lady named Miss
Schcrb , the daughter of well
known people. The marriage wns bit
terly opposed by the father nnd mother
of the girl , nnd so wns consummated
clandestinely , without their knowledge
or consent. Since then they have been
bitterly opposed to the young man , nnd
have refused to allow him lo live with the
lady , much to the d It gust nnd disap
pointment of both young people Wcdncs-
day night he went to his fnther-iti'lnw's '
house , nnd kicked opcnd the door
of tlio room where the young lady was
confined. Mrs Schcrb came in nnd opened
up n vigorous assault on her son-in-law.
Slio wns soon joined by her husbandwho
drew n revolver and chased the young
man out of the house. YcsterdayNichols
appeared before Judge Stenborg and
asked for a warrant for the arrest of Mr.
nnd Mrs. Schorb. Judge Stenborg ad
vised liim to apply for n writ of habeas
torpusfor the release of his wife , and the
sensational nffnir will probably bo aired
in the courts.
A gentleman conversant with the facts
says thnt the marriage took place under
peculiar circumstances. The mother of
tlio young woman was opposed to the
marriage and resolutely made up her
mind that the marriage should not take
place. The young lady , however ,
was determined it .should , ns were
also a number of her friends.
Accordingly , the young man was invited
to the house ono night when the con
fidential friends were present. The
young lady went with him ns
if to attend the theater nnd soon
nfter returned with tlio announcement
that she had been married to her male
friend. The mother , however , would
not bo pacified nnd refused to incut her
daughter or bon-in-law notwithstanding
the interception of her friends.
Mr. Nichols finally managed to secure
bis wife yesterday afternoon , and the two
aw now living together. The ballled
mother and fattier breathe vows of re-
vengo.
"I met Miss Sclierb two years ago , "
said Mr. Nichols , to n reporter yesterday
afternoon , "and during most of that time
have been on intimate terms with her.
± or n while I was treated all right by her
parents , but nfter the engagement , be
cause my ideas did not gibe with theirs ,
they turned bitterly against me and op-
pobcd the marringu. However , wo were
married. My wife was _ sick
lor a long time , and " nt the
ndvlco of my physician 1 sent her back
to live a w.hilo with her parents. Since
then they have treated.mo liken dog , nnd
refused to allow mo to see my wife. They
have kept her part of the time locked up
in n room , so tlint she could not sec me.
Last night I went up to tlio house , broke
my way in , and found tho'airl. The old
Jnuy iibsnulted mo , and Schcrb pushed a
loaded revolver under my nose. I wont
nwny , determined to come back within
twenty-four hours. I did come back and
have got my wife , nnd we propose to live
together or know the reason why. "

It Is Quietly Cutting Hates from River
Points to Chicago.
It is but a couple of weeks since the
trunk lines lending to the Bluffs made an
agreement to return to their former
freight and passenger rales between this
city and Chicago. This was done after n
war , in which both were badly slashed ,
nnd in which tlie'putronsof the roads lintl
by far tlio advantage.
It is now learned with considerable
certainty that the Chicago , Mllwuuko3 &
St. Paul road has again commenced to
undermine the passenger rates between
western points and Chicago. The cut
ting is dono.nt Kansas City by the local
agents and brokers. Itis done , however ,
on the sly , and thus for the other roads
have not been apprised of its commence
ment.
Ycstcrdnv afternoon , n BKK man met a
ticket broker of this city in company
with an attache of the C. M. & St. P.
The former remarked :
"Yes , they Uro cutting down at Kansas
City und you nro cutting here too. "
Iu reply , tlio "Milwaukee" man said :
"No sir. I come pretty near knowinjj
what is done in our office here , and I
know there is nothing of thnt kind done.
If there were , I'd know a little about it.
1 db believe , however , that they are div
ing a little under at Kansas City. "
' 1'csnml at other points , " chimed ID
the broker.
"What other points ? " asked the re
porter.
"I couldn't toll. " said the broker. "It
would cause an injury to those who nro
engaged in it. "
" 1 do uoliovo , " said the railroad man ,
"that it will bo only n few days before wo
get down to the good old cut of n few
weeks ngo , It is now working that way ,
and I hope it will continue. If it does ,
who knows bnl it may load our people ,
inside of ten days , to co operate with the
Union Pacific in the fust tram across the
continent. "
The broker seemed to bo of thu same
opinion.
Later , a Union Puoldo ofiiclnl.who was
asked as to what he thought about , the
cut , said that he wan not surprised at the
iolngs ( of those trunk linos. To him ,
keeping them straight wns likn one man
with a single pair of lines holding half a
do/.en btnllions straight.

HE IjIVKS HIGH. 32a = 3
A Voting Man AVlio O UK lit to bo In
the Insane Asylum.
There is a yotitig man in this town , the
son of a respectable fiuully , who ought to
bu in n public or private insane asylum.
If not taken in charge by same responsi
ble party , he will yet become involved hi
dispute which may cost him serious per
sonal injury , or perhaps , his life. Ho
lias a hallucination that ho is deeply en
grossed in the real cstato business , the
latest vagary ot which is that ho is owner
of the stock yards , nnd is now holding
them for future sale at n. liguro that , which
will bring to him both tame and fortune.
He is deeply smitten with a desire for
high hvinir , anil in support of this , has
fremicntly registered , dined and lodged
at the hotels , and perambulated the ro
tundas in highly ornamented slippers. In
connection with this means of living , ho
frequently calls a hack , rides all over
town ; or engages a double team , and
when ho returns it , gives iunaymontn
check upon some of the local banks.
It has been found that these deposi
tories have no money to his credit , and
the discovery has led to his being as
saulted several times by both hack and
liver.y men. He has boarded the Union
Pacilio trains , and when asked for his
fare has stated that ho formerly worked
for the comnanv. nnd that as n consequence
quence hu should bo permitted to ride
free. He has been dropped oil' the trains ,
and even now can not feel but that he
ought to bring an action for damages
against the company. The manner ot
the young man is gentlemanly , and his
speech quite interesting , so much so
that he would never bo suspected of be
ing insane by those ho has most to fear.
Ilfs friends ought to put him under treat
ment immediately , for his sake.and their
feelings.

LET HER BOOM ,
Omaha Real Estate Still Rapidly Increas
ing in Valne.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BUY.
Tlicy All Want ft Finger In llio Pie ,
mill Arc MnkltiK n Still Hunt
for City Property ,
The real estate boom is the principal
topic of conversation , these days , on tlio
street , in the shop or in the homo. Every
body is talking about real cstato and
many are making investments. City
property is hiring rapidly picked up and
It is now getting so that very little do-
slrablo property can be found.
In riiling over the city probably the
very finest property to bo seen is "Mnync
Place , " located on LiMvenworth street ,
just west of 1'ark avenue. It is not more
than a mile from tlio postollicc and the
lots are by nil odds the finest in tiio
market. Aside from the faet that the
location is most deairnblo , the lots are
covered with shade and fruit trees , also
grape and oilier small fruit nro to be ,
found in abundance. This property has1
only been on the market n few days , and
is attracting more attention than any
property over placed on sale in this city
Next to "Mayne Place" comes "Or
chard Hill , " whore lots arc going oirhko
hot cakes , and Mr. Mnyne's gentlemanly
salesmen are kept constantly busy show
ing property here. Ono of the beautiful
features of this addition is a handsome
park , which lias been hud out and adds
wonderfully to tlio yalne of property.
Any person looking toward making an
investment in inside property should not
purchase until they have seen these two
additions , for nowhere m the city can he
found property which will compare with
them.
If you are looking for acre property go
to Mr. Maync's otlico and take a drive
out to "Newport , " just west of the bar
racks , where you will find a veritable
garden of Eden. This property is going
very fast , and it is no wonder when it is
taken into consideration that it is by all
odds the best and cheapest aero property
in the market. As has been said before ,
Mr. Mayne sells his property client ) and
fast. If you want to invest in real estate
see him before making your purchase.

A HAD , IJVD BOY.
Arrested for Mailing Obscene Letters
Other Cases.
Henry McGill , a sixteen-year-old boy
ot Crcighton , Nob. , is a very depraved ,
corrupt youth , indeed. At least so the
federal authorities say. A warrant has
been sworn out for his arrest by United
States Marshal Uierbower , at the in
stance of Asistant District Attorney
Bartlctt , on a charge of writing ob-
sccno letters. These missives the
the young man sent to different girls and
married ladies in and about C'reighton.
They arc inconceivably vulgar , and it is
diflicult to believe that a boy so young
could have evoked such nasty stuff. The
hey is too young to send to the peniten
tiary , but no will probably get a good
long term in the reform school. His par
ents are said to be respectable people ,
and they take the matter very much to
"
heart. Deputy Marshal Showaltcr
arrived in the city last evening with the
young culprit.
Jtr.l'LEVINED Tlin CATTLE.
Deputy United States Marshal A'len ' left
Wednesday for Sidney to replevin n large
bunch ot cattle owned by the Home Cat
tle company , whose principal place of
business and largo range are at that
place. The action grows out of a suit in
stituted by Mark M. Goad against the
Home Cattle company of this state. The
petition of the plaintiff , is
iiled in the UnitedStates court relates
the fact that several years ago ho loaned
the incorporators of the company $10.000
with which to commence business. They
have grown and prospered and have ap
parently been able to paythedcbtseveral
times over. Nevertheless they have
never taken any steps to liquidate the
indebtedness , and Mr. Goad is therefore
determined to tike the matter before the
courts. The principal ami accumulated in
terest now amounts to $16,000 and a trille
over. The stock is amply sufficient to
cover the indebtedness.

A MAN OP 1805.
A Rollc who WUH Supposed to have
lceu u Conspirator.
Yesterday morning west bound passen
ger train on the Union Pacific bore a man
toward the coast , who had once figured
in an exciting crisis during the war of the
rebellion. He sat alone iu one of the
back sections of the sleeper. His hair
and beard wcro iilmost snowy wiiite ,
nnd the broad ample shoulders were
slightly bent forward as 'with clasped
hands' upon the head of Ins
cane ho looked stolidly nnd indiffer
ently from a window of the car. Ho
seemed to seek communication with no
ono , and when approached by the repor
ter , his frown was but sliglitfv tempered
by a frigid conventional parting of the
lips , intended as a smile. All that could
bo gleaned from him was that ho wiirf
going to Montana on n search for rest.
The man was about sixty-live years of
ago. His name was Wylio Howe , and in
18(15 ( resided in Chicago. That
year was romarkuhlo for ix num
ber of rebel conspiracies , by
moans of which the south expected
secretly to bo revenged by the destruc
tion of northern cities and the murder of
lending northern citizens. At that time.
Fort Douglas was within a few miles of
the city. It was in charge of Colonel
Sweet , whoso daughter , Ada , until re
cently nnd for many years previously ,
filled the position of pension agent ntthat
point , Fort Douglas was used in the
main as a prison for cap *
turcd confederates , und , of conrso-
a host wns then confined there.
Colonel Sweet accidentally discovered
that there was a great conspiracy on foot ,
the object of which was to sot the prison
ers at liberty and then sack the town. A
number of democratic citizens wore said
to have been in the plot , and worked in
connection with southern emissaries both
within nnd without the city , to that end.
Immediately , the government wns noti
fied of the discovery , and orders were in-
fctantaneously given to keep the matter
quiet , while n host of gov
ernmental detectives wore set to work
to uiscorcr tlio abettor * of the
crime. Tula resulted in the unearthing
of tlio secret order of the "Sous of Lib
erty , " a society formed exclusiuely of
'men tvlio were kuowu to bv oi rebtU sym
pathy , Before the discovery , however ,
wns made complete , the' emissaries had
departed and the suspicious documents
had all been destroyed -Of the number
of those who were culled1 to answer for
alleged complicity in tJiis diabolical
scheme , nrnrly every oncis dead. Judge
Buckncr iMorris died some years nfter ,
Charley WnNh , who subsequently pitrpju
himself of his nlh'ged disloyalty after
ward became a mail contractor nnd icdd
a few years ago. Others have dropped
by the wayside , but few ever regained
the respect or conlldcnco of the people.
This man Howe is one of tiio survivors.
Ho wns. it is alleged , to furnish several
hundred of the rebel prisoners with suits
of clothes , upon thi'ir rrlrasctosack and
pilhigo the town. Whether guilty or in
nocent , the weight of some grave thought
is upon his mind as if indeed the sncetro
of that dreadful night in 1S05 were over
present to mind.

Short Interviews Gathered in the
Hotel Rotundas.
17. J. Ilinmnn , North Pintle : ' 'I have
just conic in from the Black Hills , and I
have noticed that the crops out there are
in bad condition. The farmers have
planted wheat and oats and I clou'i think
they will have raoro than half a crop.
There has been an nwful scarcity of rain
The mining prospects ot the Black Hills
are of the most surprising nuturo. They
have two mines there which are really
remarkable in a fissure of 250 feet. These
are the Homcstako and the Father Do
Smet. The first one has about two hun
dred and fifty stampers nnd the other
about eighty. Business is very brisk up
there nnd the future of the place is en
tirely most promising" .
Ex- Senator Ferry , of Michigan : "I nm
on my way with Mrs. Ferry to the Pacific
const , principally for pleasure , although
I have in my mind some matters that will
demand sonic business attention. lam
entirely out of politics , so far as taking
an active part , but of course maintain a
great interest in public affairs , as I think
all American citizens should. The short
time I have been in Omaha convinces mo
tliut you have u grand city here , the im
portance of whoso future it is diflicull
now to determine. You arc right , 1 am
not called upon by newspaper men these

senate. Again , in my business dillicul-
ties , they gave me considerable nnd un-
nutliorlzcd attention. Take it nil in nil , 1
Imve been very courteously treated by the
press. "
There is n great change in the appear-
mice of ex-Senator Ferry since ho was a
prominent figure in congress and pre
sided for a time over tlio deliberations of
tlio senate. Ho lias grown very stout ,
and the long blonde whiskers that he
used to care for so tenderly arc streaked
with gray. The fashionable garments of
Washington hnvo disappenrcd , nnd the
once popular Michigan politician looked
like n well-to-do granger who docs not
