IttiincroiiR tiiHllntercsiliiR Notet From the Htnte Utilise- Lincoln to lift UjIite < l Ity O.IM Capital City Now * . . IMS rite's MXCOTA The clltnnxsccms to be readied nt the Insane hospital , a climax Hint H viewed with intense interest and .which will Bpecdily settle the question as to whether the board of public lands nnd buildings jean control the state institutions. In re- spouse to the order issued to lr ) liayto 'take , possession of the hospital and to ftntllicwson to turn over the keys , the Jatttr refused compliance and held to the ] ; cys of the institution. When this information mation reached the board they unani- inonsly passed n resolution iiiitliori/.ing Jr ) Hay to hold the institution in charge , to keep Mnttliowon from regain ing nosscsnton or acting , and to use the guards if necessary to exclude any pretenders to authority nave nnd except himself and the bonnl of public lands and buildings. Dr. Matthew KOII was at this time temporarily absent from the institution looking after his in terest from a standpoint in the city , nnd the board ordered that he should not be allowed admission to thu institution until ho formally abdicated and turned over Iho keys as ordered by the board. To carry these orders into cfl'cct , nnd to as sist Dr. Hay in maintaining his position ns acting superintendent , Secretary of Slate Hogcun was delegated liy the board to proceed to the institution in person , which lie did , and went to pa s Iho night at the : isyliim. Thcso stops were lal.cn after duo consideration by tin * board , with the knowledge that Dr. Matlhowson placed lilnipulf over and above the stale and ex it - authority nnd proposed to light it out , holding on to possession as several points In the law in his favor. The action of the board in this matter , as till others in thn asylum matters , was unanimous. JMeuntiim * , while these oll'ecjivc nn-asurcs were being adopted , Dr. Mercer , who seems to bo lighting Mallhmv- Hon's battle , accompanied by C. . J. Green , Matthcwsoifs attorney , \ arrived from Omnha upon thu scene ot action Mr. frcon ! wanted the board to let the ex-superintendent return to the nsylum and proceed with quo-warranto proceedings , but the lio.ird had secured possession nnd they preferred , if there was to bo any Inwing in the matter , that they would net from the inside instead of the outfeido , and If MaUhowson tliought ho had any right to possession ho could commence proceedings himself. Attorney General Lcose , in speaking as ono of the board , stated that inasmuch as the board was responsible1 to the state of Kcliraska in regard to the public institu tion ; , , that they would hold them for the state nnd not lot any individual hold or v vi assume control over the united heads of both the board and the governor. The policy of the Multhcw-on side of the quos lion seems to be , as nearly as can be as certained , to hold the place if poiaibio through thu present administration , in the hope that an incoming leirislatnro would fail to agree , which would carry it through the cession , when the jiow governor could be worked upon , If the board could be compelled to bring Jetrnl action to get possession it could bo rontinucii and the proonl month wore away without action. Jlnt to thn con trary , the board , by the step taKen , has the possession absolute , nnd Dr Matthew- BOH ut the present is out of authority and stopping in the city. Telephone communi cation with the asylum shsws that no mlllo disturbs the usual routine there , nnd that the garrison is sleeping in its arms , with the lights turned low on the tent of General llogg-m. A board meet ing will bo held to-morrow , when pre sumably both .sides will appear. NOTIS AT T1II5 CA VITAL.

After his return to this country a slop was taken to change the proceed * ings against him to that of embe/x.lemcnl. and on this question the attorney general decided that he must bo tried on the ch.irge set forth when HIP extradition law was brought into efl'cet to recover him. It Is stnted that the case has not been tried yet , but the attorney general has re ceived n decision handed down by the United Slates supreme court iu another case that confirms his decision in this , the Williams , ciusq on the point of trying the man on the crime charged when ex tradited. rou tSKOM.iN'o : rt.Kiuc. Among the candidates for legislative PoMlions in the conduce session of the Icghl.iliirc the name of Mr * . L. M. Hayes , orOmaha , is frequently mentioned for the position of enrollingcle k of the state senate and the friends and acquaintances of that lady In the capital city learn of her candidacy with pleasure. Mrs. Hayes is the daughter of Captain J.W. Marshall , now of Onmlin , but for twenty-three years the postmaster at I'laltimouth. The lady in question is the widow of ,1. Newton Haves , in vcara past proprietor of the l-'rcemont Tribune , who was always a faithful republican anil excellent citizen , Mrs. Hayes undoubtedly possesses the qualifications necessary for n competent and faithful discharge of the duties of the position.

COAL IN" OASS. Messrs. C.D. . Clapp and T. K. Clark , two enterprising eituona of the vigoious village of Klmwood , Unss county , were in Lincoln yestui day , seeking informa tion ns to the cost of sinking a hole in the earth a thousand feet down with the laudable end in view of securing coal. In the present furore for discovering coal in Nebraska in paying quantities lliorp is no place so small and no locality so iso lated but that agitation on the question is indulged in and information as to cost of sinking a prospecting hole is eagerly sought. TheseElmwood men come to Lin coln for the purpose of interviewing the contractor at the salt well as to the cost liable in the ca > e and if tlio o.xponso can be limited to reasonably means Elmwood - wood will join the long roll of towns prospecting for fuel at least to the e.xtunt of sin king a shaft to the depth of a thousand fuel. As a basis upon which their faith in success rests Mr. Clupp states that on the crook bottom adjoining the town site of Elmwood that an eleven inch vein of coal crops out to the surface nnd is found only seven foot under ground back from the stream. That this is the genuine article Mr. Clnpp is pre pared to substantiate from tlio fact that ho burned it in his store one winter. OFK rou Kur.ovn. Robert Wilson , one of the substanti.il citi/.ens of Gage county was in Lincoln yesterday on his way to New York City , where lie takes passage across the ocean for Liverpool , England , and a visit iu that country of Ins nativity. Mr. Wilson was ono of the candidates for tlio legisla ture in Gagu county this fall on the demo crat io ticket and came within just eighteen votes of an election. In conver sation with u BKE reporter , Mr. Wilson said that although ho met defeat ho wns not feeling at all bad for ho considered tlio reduction of eleven hundred majority in thu county to eighteen in his case was enough to make n Europeon trip upon. TO ANSwnit rou &LUOOINO. A/iormer railroad man named Willis was 'locked up Monday night by tlio police on a charge that promises to make an Interesting casa for him. Some time since a man wns assaulted at the St. Charles hotel and frightfully slugged with n falling-shot that camu very near to ending his precious existence , ft is for lids slugging that Willis is now under arrest , and the time for the hearing was continued from yosturdny morning to last uvcnlmr , when the facts in the case will bo elucidated before the police mag istrate. The weapon used is in thu hands of the police , nud it is ns ugly an instru ment of war as a forty-four Smith and Wesson. UOUHTPUI. OAMK3. There scorns to boa well-founded doubt us to tlio city of Lincoln having the re quisite untorprisu to maintain a base ball club thn coming year , and a recent meet ing of thu association developed the fact that only about one-half of the W.UOO uslrod in stock for the nsfooiatioii had yet been subscribed , although the meeting adjourned with an evident determination to raise the balance nt all hazards. Thu poor success the club had the past year no doubt contributes to the existing apathy , although it is but the IiUtory of nenrlv every town in thu land that enters upon "tho national game , and is no oritoriou for what may result In the future.

" Fy choice Is made at last , sister Belle. Now I run ready for bl.iiuc orpraiso from others , but I want your approval , " The older sister looked nt n couple of open letters lying on llio writing-desk ocforo which the spc-nkcr sat , her cold gray eyes softening n littlc.ns she replied. "If yon tell mewhich of the two you have chosen i can answer you. " "lon onpht to know without being told , " Slollrt laughed , "Clarence , of course. " Holla Lawson looked serious. 'Stella , I am sorry. Not that I bear Clarence llenshaw tiny ill will , but , child , you arc not lit to be a poor man's wile. Keincmber you are proud and have been reared in ease and comfort. Folloiv my advice , and marry Henry J/.ikcman. " Stella shook her head. "No , Hello ; I wouldn't marry Ilonry Lakcinun if ho were a hundred times richer than he is.1' She slipped a picture into ils envelope with a long glance at the vi w it imaged. "It is a lovely place , ' she sighed "and I would like to live there. " The sister was watching , nnd sloopmg , kl scd the smooth , white brow , while she said : " ; ) oirt bo lee hasty , Stella. H you covet this pretty home of Henry Lake- man's , accept it. " "Jmt f love Clarence. 1 prefer a cottage - tago with him to mansion with Henry. " Sllsa Laws-oil turned to the window rith n sorry look. Some sweet dream of icr childhood was in her memory , per il pa. but shu hold it worse tl'an folly to uliilgo In regrets. Love , in her estlina- Ion , was no balance m the seale for ivcallh. "Stella , " "he continued , very gravely , I have acted iho part of a mother for nnny years , my u Ish has os'cr boon that , -ou Form a wealthy marriage. I know . on love luxury , you enjoy display , and 1 am not saying too much when I stiy lh.it you worship beautiful apparel , Henry jakonnm can give you all ot these. Clar- neo llenshaw cannot.

Ho\v long will that suit a girl of , -otir taslosV Think well of it. 1 shall ol you have your own choice in regard olliis'marriage. "My mind is made up , my dear Hello , ' Stella responded. She took up the VIR\V , sliuping a loiter nto its envelope as she spoUe. "if 1 tuvorud his suit I was lo keep 11 , . .ister Hello , " she continued , touching the edge of the wrapper to her rosy lips , and scaling It with a .heavy slap of the hand. " 1 do not , you see. i won't bo sorry , " murmured she , turning the en velope over to look at Us inscription. "Your happiness is within jour own ; rasp , Slella. You'll recall my words ,01110 , day. " And with a stalely gait Uolhi LaWfton left her. Stella ran lightly IIP Iho stairs to her own room and touched the boil in great sio. "Yon will oblige me by mailing tills at once , " _ ho said to the servant who an swered her call , handing him this very envelope , "aim , " she fr.-iid. smiling and blushing , "be caretnl of this , " putting aiiollicr'lclter into his hand. "Leave it with no one biit-the person to whom it is addressed. " "There'll bo no mistake , miss. ' And thai night a perfumed note lay on Clar ence , llcushtiwV pillow , and ho , foolish follow , was transported to the upper heaven of delight. Tlirc0 ! niontlH later Uipy were married. Thov were a happy and hopeful couple. Tliu life upon which they had cnlcrcd was like a new ana unexplored country , but Clarence meant to work hard and felt little or nodcubt in regard to their future. Ho had been a head bookkeeperfor many years and had the promise of something butler yd the coming season. They rented a house in the pleasant part of tlio cily , kept a servant , and Stella wore the hahdoouio clothes that had been provided at the lime of the marriage. LJut toward the end of the llrst year of their wedded life his ( inn was saiil to bo under lieavj liabilities ana the anniversary of their marriage found Iho hoiiho bankrupt an Clarence out of a situation. They moved out of their house and tooc ! a choanor one in another part of the city. By this time their funds began to run low and Stella wanted something new for her wardrobe. "I shall find something by and by , " llio husband said bravely. It was at this trying time that a little speck of humanity was put into Stella's arms and its feeble cry told that the re sponsibility of motherhood was here. "I'm Iho happiesi man alive. " Clarence exclaimed , caiossing wife and baby boy. "Lei pridogo to thedogs , Slell , " he added , remembering Ihat now his responsibility wasgioalor than before. "Thcy _ are in want of workmen on the nc\y city hall. I'll take my hammer it will give us bread. " She ought to have been contented , ought to have thought with pride of tlio man who would tints bravo the world's opinion. Ho wont out in the early morn ing and eamo home late at nighl , his handsome face glowing with lovo. Hut the very thought that her husband was brought down to a common laborer hurt her. her.Sister Sister Hello had said that her tastes were luxurious , and shu wanted u pretty homo now ana line apparel for herself and baby. The people of the world in which she had lived had never to count their money to know if llioy could buy anew now dress. She had never had to make the best of circumstance : ; and why should she now ? The llttlo privations she endured - dured worried her , and in a liltlo while the sweet tempered woman became moody and down hearted. "Stella is homesick , " the husband would say "the cure of the baby is lee much tor her. I must make some money , " and his hanunnr niiig with redoubled energy ; but Stella continued to sulk. "How can yon expect mo to live among such surround ings ? was bur appeal when ho bugged her to cheer up. "It ia cruel in you , " she sobbed " 1 want to go home to my friends. " The warm glow came to his face , and ho drew her tenderly toward him without u word , but there was a look piteous to see in hU handsome eyes. Thou camu a day a little later when it did seem that mutton * had come to a crisis. The. city hall was Mulshed and Clarence must look for something now. Jenny , who had buen Kreddy'.s inirso had to go , and all the household cares fell upon Stollu. They had moved about u great deal , hoping to lind a plaeo in which the fretful yirl-wifo would bu contented. "J'huso people are all alike , you know , and I may as well hn in one place as in unother , was her reply to Clarence when lie sugyestoil that they move. It was unwomanly in her to say this , she kne\v , and she thought to run after her husband and beg his fonriveness , but jut then Freddy eauglil her by tliu dress , uiiuohitf her to spill' the water she was txiimng into the kutlle , which only in- civa.icd her vexation. "Vou cross little thing ! " she oxolainird , impatiently. "Take that ! " laying her hand heavily upon the little bare shoul der. * Then she eat down and fell into hysterical weeping- Freddy , with the prints other linger.still on his ncck.trlud to climb into her lap , but she pu&heil him away roughly. "Don't do anything you'll bo sorry for , Stella , " her husband said , coining into the room just then. " 1 thought you'd gone to town , " she replied , dhavply. "Oh , dear ! If I had taken good advice 1 would not have mar ried a poor man. " "You are not yourself Una morning , Stella , " and his eye * Witre full of unshod icitrs as he saw tliu rod marks on the baby's neck. Fff& "Ho you think I can endure every- tliingV" she cried , spitefully. * ' ' \ on ire noryousaiid tired.dear.

Something wet foil on the baby's head , and ho pressed him closely to his bosom ns he caught the sound of hoi sobbing. " 1 have hoard of something now this lornlng , Stella , and I'm going to New York by the next train. " "You are always irmgof ! something icw , " was her quick reply ; "but what ocs it amount to ? " "I am hoping for somcthingbclter , and think 1'vo found it now. " Ho rocked Freddy to bleep , put him nto his crib , then went to the door ot his vife's room. "Are you going to kiss mo good-by , Slolln"hc asked. "I may be gone a "uv or two. " "No , " she replied , coldly , "you'll bo lack soon enough. " "Hut I might novnr return , you knojy. " "Sco if you are not back in a day or wo , with the same old .story. " Clarence turned quickly and loft her. 3ho heard him cross the room , and knew ' .10 bent ovoi- the little slcupur and kissed he little sleeper again and again. He'll come back before he's really ; enc , " whispered she to herself , going ownrd the door , but a turn in the street ml him from sight. Ho had gone , with out bidding her good-by. "Well , we've been married long enough to be done with such nonsense , shu said , bv way of consolation , yet there ivas u terrible pain at lior heart. She sat Mill till Freddy awoke , then ivith n cry of anguish she ran across the mil to the ncnic.sl neighbor with "Please come , Mrs. "Wilson. My baby is dying. " Mrs. Wilson came , for thoug'h rough in imnemr , she was kind of heart. "He is in a lit"she said , the moment she saw the child. "Uring me some ivater , and help get off his clothes.- Stella obeyed. "Hold liim so , till Iran home nnd get sonic medicine , " she said , putting him in the bath. "Such women as yon ain't lit to bo mothers , " she continued , returning with her hands full of bottles. "I have so many trials to bear , " .noancd Stella. "Nonsense , " replied Mrs. Wilson. "You have a pretty home if it was put in order. " " 1 am used to a better. " "Young people can't begin where Iho old ones Toft oil' . They must make their own homes. " "I never understood it so. My sister advised mo never to mniry u poor man. " "And so you kept linding tault and complaining , when your husband is try ing in ovi.-ry wny to make an honest liv ing. 11 Is n wonder you haven't driven him to drink long ago. " "Hut my husband is a good man , " replied - plied Stella warmly , resenting the last part of the speech. "He has shown himself to bo a good man. " The woman said it in good faith , wrap ping Freddie In soft flannels nnd admin istering a quieting potion. She had been watching the movements of the couple over since they came to live in tlio house. "My. baby will get well , won't ho ? " wns s iid pleadingly , and the poor thing &obbed atrain ns it her heart would break. "Yes , indeed. " "And you will stay with me through the night1 forgetting that she was ono of "those people. " "I'll slay with you a whole blessed week , " replied truu-heartcd Mrs. Wilson , "if I could make you a wife worthy of your husband. " "Tell mo what I shall do and I'll ' do it willingly nnd without complaining. " Ail through the long night , while Freddv lay between life nnd death , Mrs. Wilson worked over him bravely , and told the girl-mother chapters in her own life experiences. These were passages over which Stella wopU bitterly , and when morning dawned , giving back Iho child from danger , in place of the fickle , unreasonable woman , there was ono ready to meet life's work with firm pur pose nnd strong heart , Shu tidicu up CJich apartment , and in stead of going about in a dowdy wrap per , nut on a fresh dress , arranged hur nair becomingly and changed the pucker ubout her mouth for her own rosy lip.s. 1 | i "You're a pretty little thing , " Mrs. ' Wilson had told her when slio hud fast ened a knot of blue ribbon in her hair. "Sou after baby now. I'll look In every now and then thiougli the day , nnd lo- night I'll come had ; to you.oiir hus band will bo here to-morrow morning. " "Yes , " Stella replied , with a bright look m her eyes. "He'll be hero by 10 o'clock. " i , After all. it wns a long tjmo to wait , she thought. Shu was . .u > impatient to toll him nnd shu would kiss him ns many times ns ho wi.hel ( , ' "i es , indeed ! " she. oxolaimcd , joyfully , bonding over Freddy's I crib , "we'll ki.ss papn n hundred thousand times , won't wu , deary" i " 1 do wish Clarence would come , " she . "What detains Kept snjing next morning. tains himv ' Shu continued , when the clock was on the ntrokiTaf 1'J. "What if" and her heart lay'like ' lend in her bosom as she rucalled thu look shu last saw on his face "what if hn never comes back ! " she niurmuredf going into her own room. "Mrs. Wilstjn , " MIC called , "where is my Imsbumh" In nn instant the dear good soul was beside her , resting n hand tenderly on the aching head. True-hearted woman ! Shu shrank from snymg it had been a dreadful night on the sound , and that a ' steamer had collided with the Now York boat. "Her husband traveled by boat , " , had been her conclusion. [ | Stella caught at her arm. the sound of bur volcn answering Freddy , nnd with a ' , cry she fell. Poor , tiic.d , inexperienced wife and mother ! Was the ordeal so ordered ? With the help of a neighbor . Mrs. \ ilson laid her on the bed. I "Kun for the doctor , " she said to Miss Williams. "Uut you don't know " "I d9. " she inteiTputed , "Mrs. Hcn- shaw wjll have u run of nervous fever ; and whctliHi- husband is dead or alive , I can't any. " When Stella opened her eyes again it was nearly night. She knew no one : : bout the bed , but talked to Clarence nnd Freddy , and sister Hello. She was golnir to help her husband now. She could earn money by teaching music or paint ing , "or might have a tow pupils in danc ing. " slio added. "But forgive mo for striking " and her arms wcro put tin as if to clasp something , when she deed ygain. Late that evening Clarence came in sigbt of homo. Contvaiy to Mr * . . Wilson's conjecture , lie came by a different route , llo had thought to tclegrni > li , but "btella won't ' worry , " ho said , "if ! initiate. " The light faded from Ids eyes and his face turned ghastly when he looked into the rooms. "Both gone ? " ho groaned , walking from the bed to the couch. "No.no , " Mrs. Wilson said comfort ingly. "Baby's better , and your wife will come out of tills. All she needs is good nursing , and that she shall have , " turning aside her head and drying her eyes with the corner of hei apron. What could wo do if such as she were not stationed all along the walks of lifo ? It was painful to listen to the wild talk. "If I might endure it , " Clarence said o many times. When at lasl Stella awoke from the terrible dreams her husband was bending over her. "Clarence , " she .said , ver.v softly at first ; "Clarence , " slio repeated , putting here arms about his neck , "if you'll for give me striking Freddy , I'll ' kiss you , oh , so many times : " Foolish fellow ! lie cried like a baby. "Listen , Stella , " ho said , as soon as he could command his voice ; "Listen ! 1 did get the situation , and you can have everything you want , " touching his lips ( o chcelc and forehead , "and you arc going to liavo such a pretty house in Brooklyn ! " "All 1 want h ; your love , " clnspinc him close , "and llint Freddy get well. I'm ready lo be a poor man's wife ! " "Whom the gods love die yonnsr , " says Byron ; but why die when you can cure the cold or cough , which neglected means death , with Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup , the old reliable ! A sensible woman will not fail to keep a b&ttlu of Salvation Oil on hand for men's cuts nnd bruises. Would Not Say "JJiunn. " Boslon Record : There was established not long ago , in a M-dno town a weekly newspaper which was intended by the proprietor , a pious man. to grow up and wax rich on the basis of publication nnd editing in the utmost fear of the Lord. No ndvei'tisuments of any plays , dances , lotteries , patent bitters , with alcohol in thorn , improved corsets , or anything doubtful whatever wcro to bo admitted. Nothing that was criminal , irreverent. or even a little bit frisky was adimttc'i to the news columns.

Naturally the proprietor couldn't see anything that wont into the paper , but the boys fol lowed his orders very strictly.

Hut a few weeks afterward ho felt Hint the thintr was being carried too fur when Ihe text of a discourse which had been delivered by the village nastor , and which he had oiderod published in his paper , was printed nt the head of the ser mon in this wise : "D sel I Ihcc arise " - , say unto , !

An English naval olllccr , at present in this city , gave xour correspondent to-day an interesting little story irbout the heir- apparent , once removed , to the Kngllsh throne , writes a Washington correspond ent of The Now York Star. 1'rlnco Alfred In 1800 wns n midshipman on llio St. Georgeto which vessel my informant was assigned at the time it was in Iho Baltic sea. The young prince had two existences. Wlnlo ho was aboard ho would be treated in just the sumo man ner ns the other follows of his mess , and pranks weru played upon him as fre quently an upon the rest. But whenever ho went ashore he was a prince of Kng- land , and went in stale , always accom panied by Major Cowell , now Sir John Cowell , who was his governor. One of the sub-lieutenants would bo obliged to steer the barcc for his royal highness , holding his lint in his hand meanwhile. "The very idea ot a lieutenant steering the boat for n young midshipman like you , " Piiict a dialling ofiiccr to tlio prince > no day as they rowed lo slioru. "I'll nake vou pnj for this when you get iboara again. " "Ueally 1 can't help it ; it's not my fault , " the lad replied laughing. The St. George was lying oil' IJcval , in the Gulf of Finh'iid one day , and all the minis had been ashore playing cricket. Prince Alfred nnd hi.s chum Tom Lntkin who belonged to st yacht in _ thc harbor , determined to go ashore again that night. So alter everybody was asleep the prince stole from his bunk and dropped over the side of the vessel into a fisherman's boat alongside nnd madu for I he yacht. There Lnrkin joined him , nnd they et ofi' for a spree ami tho.v hnd it. Meanwhile , Major Crowe.ll was informed of Ihe dis appearance of thu prince , nnd there was n tremendous disturbance on board. Eyery noolc nnd corner of the vessel was searched nnd two boats were sent out to dredge the bottom ot the gulf in the fear that the nrinco hnd fallen overboard. Other boats were sent ashore nnd the town wns searched , without success , ho\ycvor. Tlio prince caught sight of Major Cowell and ran and hid himself under an upturned boat ami covered himself - self with some old panks lying around. The searching party returned to the ves sel , and while a consultation wns being held ns to what to do next , the prince re turned to the vessel , climbed up the chains , nnd was soon in his berth. Hero ho was found shortly after , nnd Com mander Edgcrlon immediately sent for him"Where "Where have you been , sir ? " ho do- mnndcd angrily. "I've been in hammock " my , the prince replied , very innocently. ' 'I - - " desirenoDi-ovni-icntionsir.stormed ! the commandant. "Have you been ashore to-nightV" ' Yes , I have/ ' Alfred Guelph an swered. "Who wns with you ? " "That I positively refine to toll. " It wns found out , though , later , and poor Tom Lnrkin was nbsolulely forbid den Iho privilege of being presented at court. This was not a great privation lo him , as ho died shortly afterward. Young Alfred was punished by having hi ? stripes removed , being reduced lo the rank of a naval cadet , and made to do doublu duly for a month. llo wns lo have boon at Cnrlsruhu three months later lo .stand as godfather to the child of one of his sisters , but Queen Victoria , who was much dis pleased with his escapade , refused to allow him uvonlo bo present.
