Glad Handail Was Killed.
IlKiiiinx , Neb. , March 2i ( SDedal to the
BIB. : | The news of the shooting of Dr.
Itandall at Hastings reached Hebron yester
day nnd Immediately two flags wcro hoisted
over the Sherman house. The cause of this
unwonted display of gladness arose from the
fact that Mr. Kbllup , the proprietor of the
hotel , had been bilked by the "doctor" out
of a $150 board bill. A year ago last summer
Handail came to Hebron and stopped at the
Sherman house. As Mr. Kbllng was troubled
with sere eyes he placed himself under Itan-
dall's treatment , agreeing to furnish him
board free In case of i > cine. The doctor re
mained at thu house some eight or nine
months , but Mr. Ehllng's eyes. Instead of be
coming better , gradually grew worse. Finally
a demand was made on Handail to pay his
board bill , but ho refused and suit was
biought against him and a judgment recov
ered of Sl'iO. The hotel proprietor failed ,
however , to find any property on which to
levy , and the doctor managed to elude pay
ment. Nobody censures Air. Kbllng for his
evidences ot gladness at thu villain's death.

CHICAGO , March 23. | Special Telegram to
the BKK. ] The most reliable information
that can bo obtained concerning the number
of indictments which will be returned by the
speclaLgraud jury of thn county places the
total at about twenty. Eleven are said to be
against commissioners and ex-commissioners
and tlio others against merchants and con
tractors who have been their coadjutors and
assistants in the work of plundering the
county treasury. It Is stated that the sheriff
will not easily find ex-Commissioner Johnny
Hannlgan , one of the suspects , if sent to
look for him. About a week ago he sought
counsel of a friend as to the advisability of
skipping outland was told that as he liael no
family he had perhaps better go. The
next day some of his old cronies
braced him up a llttlo and he
cave notice that ho would stay and
light it out. Hannlgan was a spectator at
the proceedings in the criminal court last
Tuesday , and soon after the boodle contin
gent had left the building he appeared at his
boarding-house , when ho disappeared and
has not been seen since. None of the other
suspects have disappeared.

Harrison Will Run AN Usual.
CHICAGO , March 22. [ Special Telegram to
the BKK.J The democratic primaries were
held to-day and the convention will be held
to-morrow. The eencral Impression i ? that
Mayor Harrison will be renomlnated unani
mously and that he will take the matter un
do ; advisement tor a day or two and finally
"yield to the unanimous voice" of his party.
It 1st thought that Stuuber , the socialist can
didate for treasurer , will be endorsed by the
democrats , and Cox , the socialist , for at
torney. Harrison is still protesting that ho
will not run , but Is out claiming that ho
could be elected as against lloche. Ho said
to-day : "My letter of withdrawal meant
exactly what it said. I do not mean to say
that 1 would not reconsider it If the proper
Inducements were offered , say , tor Instance ,
that 1,000 good republlrana would sign a call
asking mo to run. Before 12 o'clock on elec
tion day the labor vote for Nelson will have
reached such proportions as to stampede
many citizens of both the old parties out ot
the party , and for every such vote John A.
lloctie gets Carter Harrison will get 100. The
republicans would vote for mo just as they
did for Mayor Hewitt , in New York. " This
is all accepted as showing that Harrison will
run as usual.
Cleveland In No Danger.
WASHINGTON , March22. Colonel Lament
in conversation to-day , in regard to the presi
dent's health , showed that the fears recently
expressed by Dr. Sewers are not shared by
the president's family and his intimate
friends. The president , Colonel Lament
said , was to all appearances In perfect health.
He did not think that Dr. Sewers wus In a
position to judge of the matter , as ho did not
know the president , and what ho said was ,
in the colonel's opinion , based merely on the
assumption that the president was gaining
flesh and took no exorcise. This was not the
case. "As a matter of fact , " ho continued ,
"the picsldent weighs loss than when he first
came to Washington , and really takes us
much exercise us most other men. It Is true
that he does not walk about the city , but he
frequently walks in the country , and there *
are other ways In which he gets exercise. "
The colonel added that altogether thn presi
dent is in irood condition and there is nc
reason for apprehension In regard to hi.-
health.
The President Contributes.
WASHINGTON , March M. The president
has addressed a letter to Mrs. J. It. Ilobcrts ,
w Idow of the late president of Liberia , whc
is seeking aid for the establishment of r
hospital at Monrovia , in which ho says
"Liberia is so distinctly an outgrowth of the
kindly and generous sentiment of the people
ot tne United States that everything whlcl
pertains to tbo well-being of that young re
public should appeal to our sympathy and
benevolence. The hospital which It is pro
posed to erect seems to.me to be such an Im
portant Instrumentality In well ellrectei
charity that 1 desire the acceptance ot the
enclosed contribution to thu enterprise. "

DRRMX , March UA Now York Herald
Cable Special to the BKK.J Beilln awoke
to-day to find itself n city ot tlags and gas
jets. As I walked home at U o'clock this
morning , after sending my la < t cablegram , I
found many men hard at work putting up
Hags and adding every Imaginable device In
gas plpo and electric lamps to the many
already In position. All night these men
worked adding decoration to decoration
until , If It pleased the kaiser to dilve through
Berlin even in the poorest part of the city , he
never would bo out of sight of sl.ns of
rejoicing over his lon life. There are Hags
innumerablu , but unfortunately to-day the
sombre Prussian one is principally used. In
this the Hag is so draped as to conceal the
bright colors of the two stripes , so much that
it seems to bo a sign of mourning. Looking
from a window this morning at a set of flaxs
draped over the doorway this effect was so
startling that for a moment 1 thought the
emperor must ho dead. The initial of the
emperor's name and outlines of his majesty's
figure are largely used In the illuminations.
One creat W , termed by forty or more pow
erful electric lamps , hangs across the street
from thu roofs of two high buildings. An
other immense W , with ninety below It ,
hangs In the university yard In sight of the
kaiser's windows. German eagles , stars ,
etc. , are to be seen everywhere. On the
domes of buildings alpno are electric lights of
100,000 candle power. The illumination
will not be so general as it was after the em
peror's escape from assassination. Then the
city furnished candles to the people who
were too poor to miy them to put In their
windows , 'lo-nlght , however , the Illumina
tion will be on a much grander scale. All
the main streets will bo floods of light with
every window brilliant with gas , the electric
or candles.
HP.AUTIFUL W1NI\OW DECOUAT1ONS.
Prettier than all other decorations are the
store windows in such streets as unter den
Linden , Friedcrlcli and Lcipslger. From
many of the windows all the goods have been
removed to make room for a bed of flowers
or moss or evergreens. 'In the center Is a
bust In bronze or marble or a picture of
Kaiser Wilhclm , crownud with laurel and
surrounded with candles. In some cases
there are bronze ' groups of four gen
erations the crown prince and the
crown princess , ' son. and grandson.
In other places there 'are busts of the
kaiser , the crown prince and crown princess.
In no case have 1 seen any popular notice
taken of the existence ol the empress , an
omission all the more remarkable since the
empress Is not notably unpopular. Where
.he goods ate not entirely removed Irom be-
ilnd the broad plalf , ( ( lass thcro is still al
ways a rearrangement tot them to set off to
the best advantage the'.luevltable representa
tion of the emperor with its altar-like of
candles.
GRKKTIXa THE KAISER.
At a very early hour this morning a crowd
filled the whole of the unter der Linden as
far as the eye could reach. The crowds wore
especially compact atound the outside of the
statue of Frederick the Great in front of the
palace. Presently the kaiser appeared at ills
window , looking fresh and bright , although
he had but a snort night's rest. In spite of
the previous day's very hard woik , lie had
gone to bed at 12 and had been awakened at
8 bv two old body servants who were lirst to
congratulate him. Soon after the empress
came to his room and' gave him
the iirst present of the day , a
sash like that worn by Frederick
the Great. Then attendants in a body and
the servants followed with congratulations.
Then , soon after he had taken breakfast with
the empiess , ho came good naturedly to his

students drove past in wagons. The stu

day before. They had even more banners
than then and bands of music also. They
clashed their swords as they passed the pal

slightest attention t to a single one
of the -TOO carriages. There was the kaiser ,
so the crowd with one accord turned their
backs on everything else In order that they
might watch and cheer the old man who
stood before them , trimly dressed In uni
form. The cheering never stopped while he
was in plght It went echoing down the
unter den Linden , was caught up and re
started as long as anyone was able to see the
old emperor.

for the emperor and queens of Saxony and
Houmanla. The emperor , however , refused
to occupy the conspicuous position selected
for him and seated himself In a row with the
other members of royalty. At 0 o'clooK the
empress entered the hall on the arm
of her grandson , Prince William , walking
with the aid of n cane. She looks much older
and more feeble than the emperor. She wore
a pale green dress , trimmed with lace , and
had diamonds In her hair. When all the
guests had assembled , the performance began
with a tableaux vlvants , representing
Charles Vln Augsburg. A duet fiom

melster. A quartette from Verdi's "Don
Carlos" was rendered by Fraulelpo Henard
and Pattlnl , Fran Arboland Herr Padllla ,
after which was presented a scene from "Don

board. Hu had nearly a thousand applica

possessed the desired quallilcatlons who were
willing to accept the salary olfered by the
government In lieu of their business Incomes.
Thomas M. Cooley , of Michigan , who has
been selected for the six-year term , has had a
valuable experience as u corporation lawyer
and jurist In railway cases , ilo is at present
lecclverof the Wabash railway , to which po
sition he was appointed by Judgu Greslmm.
William U. Morrison , of Illinois , Is known
to everyone who has paid attention to con
gressional history during the past few years.
His term Is fur live years. Augustus Sclioon-
makcr , of New York , has not been
consulted as to his appointment and
t Is not known that ho will accept.
His term is for four years. He Is a promi
nent lawyer and was u state senator at
Albany during Tlldmi's Incumbency of the
governor's chair. Aldaco F. Walker , of
Vermont , a former law partner of Senator
Edmunds , was at one time a member of the

identified with railway legislation and Is said
to bo one of the ablest lawyers in Vermont.
Hu Is a republican. Ills term Is for three

at present n member of the Alabama railroad
commission and Is reported to have furnished
valuable statistics to members of congiess
when the Inter-state bill uas under discus
