Some months since the HEK recorded
tlio advent of n prominent oil well slock *
holder from Ohio being in the city , and
nt the time it was staled that ho viewed
the immediate vicinity of Lincoln as a
promising Held for the production of nat
ural gas In paying quantities. Yes
terday this same man was in the city ,
coming from Kansas , where ho had boon
inspecting newly discovered wells of gas
in that state. In conversation with the
Uii : : he stated that ho was perfectly satis-
lied that natural gas would ultimatelj bo
discovered in all sections of the western
country and ho thought it would bo
found in Nebraska if the proper depths
worn sounded for it. It will be romom-
icrcd that on the occasion of n former
visit thls'gcntloman was of the opinion
that a well with an adequate How could
piped and the gas conducted tonelgh-
oring cities , a work that would bo en
tirely reasonable within a radius of fifty
miles , and that It would bo found lo pay ,
too , aflcr first cost of piping was met.
[ This representative is keeping a close
watch of the bait well downward and ho
was contemplating a visit to the well
yesterday , but was called away on the
afternoon train. The well , how
ever , ho does not think
will go deep enough in tlio 3,000-foot
limit to demonstrate practicability in
either prospecting for coal , salt or gas ,
but its value will bo in furnishing esti
mates for sinking wells through a knowl
edge of the strata necessary to penetrate.
This aocond.visit of a practical man of
moans directly interested in the develop
ment of u factor of the vaiuo of natural
gas ought to awaken citizens to investi
gation in this matter , especially when
cities like Flattsmouth already have
raised the funds in connection with a
practical man to sink a well at once in
that locality. Kansas has already made
the discovery , und next should bo Ne
braska.
AN ADVISOnV SESSION.
To-day the nowly-appolntcd district
Judges will meet the judges of the supreme
com I in an advisory session to deter
mine the condition of the law by which
these judges wore created. All the mem
bers of the higher court will bo upon the
bench and the new judges with ono or
two exceptions arc in the city ready for a
hearing. As the present time is vacation
in the supreme court the session will not
bo formal , but will bo merely to sccuro
an advisory opinion from the court as to
the decision they will reach when the
question is formally presented to them.
This action -will rollovo the auditor so
that he will feel at liberty to draw war
rants and also demonstrate to the new
judges their rights in the promises.
N1IW COltl'OKATIONS.

A LIVELY SEANCE.
Yesterday morning's train from the
east had as passengers a number of men
who , crossing Iowa , casually gravitated
together. At 1'acilio Junction , la. , in the
laud of no intoxication nnd no intoxi
cants , they purchased n keg of beer and
loaded it on the train , carrying it on tlio
coal box in the smoking car. All along
the journey from Plattsmouth to Lincoln
they drank themselves lordly drunk , nnd
iust before reaching the city a row of
mmonso proportions blossomed ouf.
Ono of the men was a cattleman with a
largo roll of money that ho flourished
around , and directly ho accused a young
Englishman of tbo party with stealing it.
Doe Dunn , of Lincoln , had joined the
party in the car nt Waverly , and while ho
was rushing for officers to stop blood
shed the young Englishmen was ) warding
oil'a dirk knife and was well nigh fright
ened out of his wits. The officers about
jils time appeared and nailed the two
disturbers , the cattleman having the
money all the time , having misplaced it
in his pocket. The two were taken to
jail by the use of cud's , and about a
thousand spectators saw tlio trouble
ended without bloodshed.

Barllott Kelley was the name given by
a man who for a number of days has been
begging on the streets and receiving con
tributions from generous people. Yes
terday ho turned up in police court on a
charge of drunkenness and when the
Jailor searched him he found f 91 and
some cents on his person. This was al
most entirely in small change and was
tied up in numerous sacks carried on his
poraon. The Judge fined him 13 and
costs and he paid it with a parting with
the cash that was fairly tearful.

* N INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
How Two Actor Met by Chance.
ChicnRo News : Otis Mortimer , the
iiiniiBK ; r ofLouia Jnines- , who is lutuly
from Now Orlonng.sayg that the southern
pcoplo arc intensely disgusted with the
recent utterances of Jell' iJavls. Heauro-
card was and is still u great favorite with
tlio southerners , and they resent any
slight put upon him. Morlimor.who was
in the confederate finny nnd in Huauro-
gard's command , says thai lie was tlio
most popular rebel officer , although he
was an extra strict disciplinarian. Dur
ing the first winter of the war Bcanre-
gartl commanded the armies of Virginia ,
and the weather was intensely cold. The
men were volunteers , of course , and en-
tifnly unused to the hardships of war ,
and they fell sick in great numbers , and ,
whut was worse , boc.imo dull nnd dis
pirited. Profiting by the example of the
tirst I Napoleon , llesturcgnrd hit upon the
] plan of establishing a theater in the
camp < for the amusement of the troops.
Mortimer was selected to organize the
company and tlio work of erecting the
theater was began. The man who'was
ifltrustcd with the funds necessary to on-
Kagc the company skipped south and de
serted with the money , and the move
ments of tbo federal army broke up nil
the plans. During the war Mortimer
says , the theaters , in the south coined
money. The horrors of the siege were
mitigated and sometimes added to by
dramatic performances , and when MI
army entered a town the lirst thing it did
was to organize H company and play in
the thcfttor. Some of the armies con
tained enough soldier-actors for a very
fair sized company , and in some cases
plays wcro rehearsed ahead , but oftener
still the company wns non-military and
belonged to the theater or traveled about
seeking to play in some town occupied
by troops. The prices charged were 50
cents tor privates and $1 for olllcers and
the houses were universally packed.
The audiences were enthusiastic and
generally in the very bc-st of humor , so
much so as to make it rtithor diHicult to
play. Mortimer was paroled , and
played oft' and on for a year or two with
all sorts of picked-lip companies half
professionalhalf , aniatcuru.nd all sorts of
sectionalism and politics. Once at Corinth
ho played "Richard III. " in a linen dus
ter ; but the audience didn't seem to mind
the discrepancy a bit , and insisted on his
coming forward in the tent scene and
sincine the "Star-Spangled Banner" and
"In the Prison Cell I Sit. " On the night
of the second day's battle of the Wilder
ness Mortimer was on picket duty , lie
had not eaten a morsel for over thirty-
six hears , and ho was nearly dead with
hunger , and very faint , haying but re
cently conic from the hospital. It had
been the wont of the soldiers to supply
the place of food by copious chews of
plug tobacco , and Mortimer's pockets
were full of the weed , but the doctor had
forbidden him using it. Ho was stand
ing by a tree , faint and despairing , ana
in ( ho agony of his situation exclaimed
aloud :
"I'd give the biggest plug of tobacco
n the world for a piece of hard-tack 1"
"I'll take you at your word Johnny
Rob ! ' , exclaimed a hearty voice , and be
fore Mortimer could bring his gun to his
shoulder a form sprang out ot the dusk
and a stalwart zouave stood before him
'I've been watching you ior some
time , " continued the northern man , "and
I thought you saw mo and was getting
" ady to pot mo till I heard you speak. "
j.no zouave had imslimg his knapsack
and displayed before the famished rebel
what seemed to him a banquet. "And
low , young fellow , " ho said , "if you'll
.jivo mo a plug of tobacco you can have
all the hard-tack your jaws can crack.
Fork overl" Such exchanges wore com
mon , and Mortimer clutched the food
and passed over a plug of Virginia tob
acco , which was as eagerly received by
the zouave. They talked a moment or
two and then , roulizinc their dangnr.pro-
pared to part. Mortimer incidentally
told his companion his name and calling.
The other was surprised and said ho was
nn actor , too.
"You " asked Mortimer .
are ? , delighted.
'You are a brick ! When the war is over
I'll como north and join you. What's
your name ? "
"Louis James , " said the zouavo , ns ho
resiling his knapsack , picked up his gun ,
and disappeared in the woods.

Queer Story About Grovcr Cleve
land.
Cincinnati Enquirer : General Tom
Ewing , of Ohio , comes to Washington
only seml-occasionally. To-day I met
him at his hotel , writes a Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Eu-
quirer , and together we went over the
list of some of those who had financially
and otherwise contributed to President
Cleveland's election. "What will those
men do for him again ? " was the mutual
query. "I know one man , " said the
general , "who gave ? GO,000 to the Cleve
land campaign luud who I opine will not
again respond. "
"Whor'l asked.
' Abram S. Hewitt , of Now York , " said
the general.
"Has tboro been a breach between
Hewitt nnd Cleveland ! " I queried.
"No. not an open one , " said the general -
oral : ' 'but ' as I get it from Mr. Hewitt's
friends , ho has a right to feel sore. "
Thereupon the general unburdened
himself. "First , " said ho , "Hewitt
wanted the president to appoint his
brother-in-law. ox-Mayor Cooper of Now
Yortf , minister to England. Ho is a man
as fully equipped for tlmt responsible
trust as the stick now there. In this hn
met a disappointment , but it was noth
ing as compared with an act of the prcsi'
dent which hurt him in the pockets. "
"What ofliclal act do you refer to ! "
"Tho " continued the
presldBiit , general
oral , "mado nn order closing the Chey
enne and Arapahoe agencies in the In
dian territory. Hewitt and Cooper jointly
liad large cattle interests there. To
comply with the order with respect to
the limitation of time required the trans
fer of an almost countless number ol
cattle when the climatic change involved
peril. Hewitt brought the president to
cither annul or modify the order until a
eeason more favorable for the transfer.
The president refused. The result wus
that the transfer was made under un
favorable and unhealthy vicissitudesami
the outcome was that Hewitt and Cooper
lost $500,000. What made it worse was
the order involved no.general principle
for no other reservations wore cloaocl
Yon can't well expect aid from a mau
who has lost a cool half million. "

HOW HE DID IT.
Tbc Story Tola by a HuabanU With a
Poor Memory .
San Francisco Chronicle : They were
celebrating their silver wedding , and o
course the couple were very happy ana
Yorv affectionate.
"Yes , " said the husband , "this is the
onlr woman I over loved. 1 shall never
forgot the first time I over proposed to
her. "
"How did you do itr" bant out a
oung man wtio had been squeezing a
iretty girl's hand In the 'corner. They
,11 , laughed ana ho blushed ; but the girl
arrlcd it off bravely. ' *
"Well , 1 remember as well as if It wore
vesterday. It was way back in Maine.
Vo had been out on a lucnlc , and she
md 1 got wandering alorio. Don't you
Qiuember , my dear. "
The wlfo nodded and smiled.
" \Vo \ sat on the trunH.of on old treo.
You haven't forgotten , lovc.hnvo you ! "
The wife nodded againr-
"She began writing In , the dust with
ho point of her parasol , JYou recall it
wcct , donityou ? "
The wlfo nodded agalb. '
"She wrote her namo'MInnlo ' , ' and I
aid let me put thrf other name to it. And
took the parasol and wrote my name
Smith after it. "
"How lovclyl" broke out a llttto maid
who was beaming in a suspicious way on
ix tall chap with a blonde mustacho.
"And she took back the parasol and
vroto below it. 'No , I won't. ' And we
went homo , You re member it , darling
see you do. "
Then ho klsaed her nnd the company
murmured sentimentally , wasn't it
irotty. "
The guests had all departed and the
happv couple were left alone.
"Wasn't it nice , Minnie , to sco all our
rionds around us so happy ? "
"Yes , it was. But , John , that reminis
cence I"
"Ah , it seems as if it had been only
cstcrday. "
"Yes , dear ; there are only three things
ou'ro wrong about in that story. "
"Wrong ? O , no ! "
"John , I'm sorry you told that story ,
tccauso I never went to a picnic with
you before wo were married ; I never was
n Maine in my life , and I ucvcr refused
you. ' '
"My darling , you must bo wrong ! "
"I'm not wrong , Mr. Smith. I hnvc
an excellent memory , and , although wo
mvo been married twenty-live years , I'd
ike to know who that minx Minnie was.
foil never told me about her before. "
I guess she'll forgive him ; but 1 don't
enow if she'll forgot.
