Yesterday tlio celebrated salt well reached
ft di > nth of 'J.OOO feet as contracted for by tlio
board of lands and buildings nnd work Is
1 temporarily If not permanently suspended at
1r R depth ot 2,000 feet. The drill rests In a clay
r Blialo seamed with sandstone that sparkles
with Iron pyrites. No salt lias been discov
ered , no natural cas has answered the sum
mons and no oil hasilscn to the surface. The
well , as It stand * , tit the depth of 2,000 feet , Is
a plain , simple hole In the ground and noth
ing innro. It has , liouu\er , demonstrated the
fact that In this section of the state nothing
of a mineral natiira need bo expected with
out going n greater dcntli than 3,000 leet.
Through the attention of tlio .state geologist
nil the cores from the drill have been pre
served and n record kept of every foot ot the
distance downward , which data are valu
able. Seven hundred feet ot limestone ,
lying In n body below the lirst 1,000 feet ,
show conclusively that minerals In this sec
tion of the state are burled deeply and sur-
laceexpciIntents are useless. The state geologist
elegist Is conlidont ttiat another thousand
feet would demonstrate the values Unit un
doubtedly underlie tticinas30t limestone just
penetrated. He , In common with the bo.ird
f lands and buildings Is anxious to have
the added 1.000 feet sunk , and the contrac
tors are willing to remain and do the work.
The board thinks that with the expense In
curred In going the 2,000 feet that It would
bo unwlso to cease altogether without reach
ing tar enough down to settle the question of
valuables to a reasonable depth. Geologists
nro practically united In the belief that noth
ing can bo expected in Nebraska In much
less than 2,000 feet , and they are nearly of
like opinion that minerals to bo of practical
worth , If found at all , would bo found In the
8,000 foot limit. The board , however , cannot
proceed with the work until the question
that the auditor raises as to his right to Issue
vouchers lonirer for the work , is decided.
Sometime since , when the auditor saw this
question coming , he wrote to the Judges of
the supreme court , asking them for a con
struction of the law In the matter for his
peisonul guidance. Judge Cobb was seen by
the BKK yesterday , and ho said that the
court did not meet until Juno 6 , which would
bo the earliest time that they could hoar and
answer the question. In the meantime the
board Is anxious for a decision , in which
event the work , if ft orable decision was
given , would be continued uninterruptedly ,
nnd the present contractors retained. As it
Is , the contractors do not teel like remaining
longer at the work without assurance im
mediately that they mo to remalu , and in
this predicament the question rests for
action.
A JUDGE MTO1NTKD.
Governor Thay r yesterday relieved the
anxiety of the host of judicial judeo seekers in
the First district by appointing Hon. Thomas
Applfgate , of 1'ccumseh , the new judcoin
the first judicial district in accordance
with the law creating additional judges and
districts In the state. It will be gratifying tea
a host ot people In the district that the per-
Blstontsupplications of the notoilous Captain
Humphrey availed nothing and the with
drawal of Judge Davidson , of Tccuinseh , ev
idently greatly simplified the work of mak
ing a selection.

doubt and despondency and the club will

O STOREY' PALACE.
Tlio Chicago Kdltor's Marble Castle ,
uit Why Ho Built It.
The Chicago Correspondent of tlio Min
neapolis Tribune writes : At the corner
of the Grand Ituulovard and Forty-third
BlrcotrStands a magnificent marble castle ,
live stories in height , surrounded by n
tower. It is complete unit the windows
nrc boarded up , though n portion of the
grounds are kept in line condition Unit
part fronting the boulevard. This castle
was begun by tlio late Wilbur F. Storey
and hu intended that it should bo one of
the tinost bouses in tin : country and the
finest iu the west , for it was one of Ms
ambitious that bis young wife should
rulgu aa mb tress in one of the mosl
magnificent residences in this section.
When ho iirst conceived the idea of the
house the disease which finally made him
a wreck and carried him oft'had not yol
manifested itself and his freak was re
garded iu simply n fancy of a man wlic
socially ostracised all big life , had be
conio socially ambitious because of nil
young wife , a beautiful woman and one
possessed of much ambition.
It was intended that the house should
coat close onto 9500,030 , and though
Storey at that time was probably no )
much more that a millionaire , he wai
making from f 79,000 to (90,000'out of the
Times every year and could soon h v
paid any Indebtedness which might hav
been hanging over the ulac * . Then , lee
ho nave every promise of living to aa ad
ranccd old age , for ho was vigorous and
his stop was as oliuftlc as thnt of yontiR
men not more than half his ago , ilo was
always attentive to business details and
Burperviscd the running of his news
paper ovcti down to the smallest item ,
nnd there wns no reason to ntippo o that
lie would not live to enjoy his palatial
homo for many years.
Not long after the house was started
tlio brain trouble which finally caused
his death lirst made itself manifest. He
wns then more erratic than ho had ever
been before , but no ono thought of ques
tioning his sanity. Ho hail done many
things previously before his brain be
came allcctcd which had been the talk
of the town , but they wore not attributed
to any giving way of his brain power.
Ono day ho visited his architects nnd
made wholesale und sweeping changes
in the plans of his now house changes
which made a difference of many tliou-
sariiis of dollars in the cost. Hut Storey
didn't care for that ; when ho wanted a
thing he wanted it. and cost wns a minor
consideration. As the building grow
under the eyes of the old man it was no
ticed that ho was gradually changing for
the worse. His interest in the mansion
decreased , and it soon became apparent
that his strong mind was fast decaying.
Then came the time of mental twilight
and finally the total darkness , and he died
without having seen the completion of
the house upon which ho bad BO set his
heart.
The death of Mr. Story of course put a
stop to work on the house , for then be
gan the contest over his wills , which will
probably lust until the magnilicent prop
erty left by the great editor has been
eaten up oy tlio courtn and lawyers.
Then the windows were boarded up , an
unsightly high board fence was con
structed to keep out tresspasscrs , and
thus the place stands to-duy. 1'ottt-r
Palmer's castle on the lake shore is said
to contain 100 rooms , but the Story
mansion is larger than the rich tavern-
keeper's , and had it been finished would
have been superior to it in every way ,
for it is built of marble , while Palmer s
house is built of stone. No ono , as he
rides along the ( irand Boulevard , can
fail to bo struck with the great
beauty of the Storey mansion , and
were it not for that , the very magnitude
of the pile would cause comment and ex
cite curiosity. What Storey could have
done with so largo a house no one can
Imagine ; ho could have kept a regiment
of people there and then it would not
have been overcrowded. Mrs. Storey
will never occupy it , for she has not the
money to complete it , and'it is said now
that the Catholics are negotiating for it
with tlio idea of making a seminary or
some sort of a school , It b ono of the
largest buildings designed for a private
residence in the United States , and hud
it been completed according to Mr.
Storey's deslg there would have been few
palaces in the country which would have
excelled it in its furnishings and appoint
ments.
If things go on for the next few years
as they have lately the demoralisation of
the Storey estate will bo complete. It is
a sort of a football , that is kicked from
one court to another , and the beauty of
the thing is tbut all of the costs are piled
on to the estate. The Times is not now
making more than one-fifth what it did
when Storey was alive , which is nothing
strange when it is considered that the re
ceiver is a druggist who knows no more
about running a newspaper than ho does
aboout running a locomotive. The estate
is being subjected to a constant drain
and everybody is draining away at it.
There are two wills in the controversy
1871) ) and 1881 ; and should the controversy
be settled as to which was the proper ono
to probate some other point would bo
raised which would keep the estate in the
courts. It is charged that Storey was
insane in 1881 and sane ill 1870 , and the
light against the probate of the will of
' 81 is because it deals more liberally by
ho widow than the other.
Man's Pineal Eye.
St. James Gazette : It has long been a
puz/.le to 111930 who trouble themselves
to find a rational explanation for tradi
tions , how they originated the idea of a
race of monster men with ono single eye
in the center of the forehead , tor this
widely-spread tradition no satisfactory
rational explanation has been offered.
It was , however , passingly alluded to
in a lecture' by Baldwin Spencer at
the Royal institution on "The Pineal
Eye in Lizards , " and though the allusion
cannot readily be converted into an ex
planation , it affords ground for curious
speculation. Deeply seated in the human
brain there is a blunt "process" known
as the pineal eland. Unlike the rest of
the brain , it is hardened by a kind of
chalky deposit , and its significance and
function have long been a puzzle to anat
omists. One of the most celebrated specu
lations respecting it is that of Descartes ,
who suggested it might bo the scat of the
soul. Recent research , enlarged by
studies in comparative embryology , have
thrown fresh light on its signiticaneo ,
No vertebrate is without it , and in dif
ferent cenera there is much difference in
the extent of its development , through'
out the Lacerlllia it is much patron aged ,
and some it ends externally in ancyowitli
a well marked lens and retina , which lies
just within an aperture of the skull
known aa the parietal foramen. Whothei
in lizards this is in any way an organ ol
actual vision is doubtful. The eye is
covered by a scale , very different , how
ever , from the surrounding scales ; bui
even when this is sufficiently thin to b <
translucent , it la improbable the eye is ol
auy real service. The point of interest
however , is that structurally the eye it
there , oven if functionally it is valueless
In many forms lower than the
vertebrates this median eye is mel
with , sometimes as the solo organ
a vision throughout life , sometimes sup
uloraontcd by paired eyes after passing
from the cmbryonie to the adult state ,
and there are cases in which after the
impaired eyes are developed the mediae
eye is lost. Fiona the relatively large
size of the parietal foramen in some o :
the huge fossil rcptllla there is little doubi
they had effective median eyes. In livinf
forms which have boon studied this eyi
is always ut the end of a prolongation ol
that part of the brain which , dillering it
length in other vertebrates , is the shor
and blunt pineal gland in man. In th <
language of embryologists man ha :
either an undeveloped or a dcgenorati
gland which elsewhere is developed int <
a median eye with lens and retina , IUH
the essentials of what wo call an ordinary
eye. Whether this fact has any real connection
noctionwith the old Greek and still ex
isting oriental traditions or not can bi
only matter of conjecture.

A Bank Victimized.
A. F. Powell is reported to have ob-
allied $4,500 from the Commercial Na-
ioual bank , Thirteenth nnd Douglas
trccta , on drafts , accompanied by forged
otters of credit , on a New York City
bank. The supposed fraudulent transac-
Ion took place on Tuesday. The bank
eceivt-d advices yesterday fiom the New
York bank that no funds wore to the
credit of the party making the draft ,
' . 'owell came to Omaha on Sunday , went
o Council Bluffs on Monday , returned to
his city Tuesday morning , und on
Wednesday morning loft for parts un
known.
While Powell was in the city ho stopped
at the Windsor hotel and registorcd from
Tracy , Minn. Ho was accompanied by a
man who registered as J. J. Hartlgiui ,
also fiom Tracy. Hartigan hns a wooden
leg. Powell is about thirty-live years of
nge , dark , tall and slim. He represented
'iimself as a cattle dcalerand claimed to
iiavo a large number of beeves which he
ivould soon ship to the South Omaha
yards.
Powell first appeared in Omaha , as far
as can be learned , last winter , lie was
' .hen accpmpanicd by his wife , They
ivent to the Windsor fiotcl and engaged
board. In a week ho left. Mrs. l"owcll
remained live or six weeks longer. The
hotel proprietors presented the lady a
bill , but she said she would bo unable to
pay it. She expected her husband daily.
( V few days ehipsed when she was again
nskcd to pay the bill. In a day or two
afterward Powell arrived. Ho was quite
! ndgnant ! at the way in which he alleged
ils wife had been and
annoyed , , paying >
iiis bill , left with her. .
After they had been gone a few
days a representative from a com
mission firm in South Omaha , of
which Mr. Waggonerfiis the senior ,
appeared and made inquiries regarding
Powell. Ho said that individual had
borrowed sf50 from the firm upon the
representation that ho had a large num
ber of cattle to ship hero and would put
the stock in their hands to sell. After
he had gone a few days the firm received
a draft through un Iowa bank , which he
had obtained on the representation that
he was traveling for the house. The draft
was not paid. The Urm call him a "d d
scoundrel. "
Tracy , Minn. , was the place from which
Powell registered at that time , and
after he had gone letters and papers
came hero from the same point.
Detective Moynihan is working at the
: aso and endeavoring to locate the man
who coaxed $ -1.500 of the bank. There is
a chance that Powell is square and will
return. _
THK NEW CH1KF IN CHARGE.
Captain Bcnvcy Hteps Into Marshal
Citnimlncs' Shoes.
Chief of Police Scavoy took charge of
the police force at 4 o'clock yesterday af
tcrnoon. Mayor Broatch and Members
Bennett , Hartman and Gilbert of the po
lice commission accompanied the chief
to the police station and witnessed the
transfer of the authority from Marshal
Cummlngs to his successor. There were
no formal ceremonies. Marshal Cummings -
mings merely took his clay pipe and
some personal effects from one of the
drawers in tholailer's desk and stepped
outside and Chief Seavoy stepped in. The
commission then announced that they
had appointed John McDonald dep
uty chief and Thomas Cormick captain
of the force , and that no other appoint
ments would bo made until it was ascer
tained what increase of the force would
bo likely to bo mado. Chief Soavey made
an examination of the jailor's books and
records and with the accommodations ot
the department in general. Ho was on hand
at roll call last night at 7 o'clock and
was introduced to nil ot the
members of the night force.
He gave his first lesson
in discipline by ranging the patrolmen
in line according to their size and send
ing them to their boats in two squads
under the charge of Captain Cormick
und Sargoaht Mostyn. In a talk with a
reporter ho stated that ho did not look
for auy objection to his taking charge of
the duties of the office before the council
had acted upon the rules for the govern
ment of tlio force. Ho ( oolc the step at
the direction of the mayor and the police
commission.
The appointments made by the new
administration ot John McDonald as
deputy chief of police and Thomas Cor
mick as captain , were received with very
general approval. McDonald has served
as deputy marshal for the past year ,
with ability. He is a big , level
headed Scotchman , and under
stands his business. He will prove
a valuable aid to the new chief.
The selection of Captain Cormick as
captain of the force under the new sys
tem is a just recognition of faithful ser
vices. Captain Cormick went on the po
lice force m April , 1884. nnd was as
signed to the Cuming street beat , the
least important beat in the city. His
ability was soon recognized , nnd ho was
transferred to the Far n am street beat ,
where he remained until November of
that year , when ho was promoted to the
position of court officer. lie hold this
position one year when he was appointed
captain of the force , and has since served
in that capacity. Ho is clear-headed ,
cool-headed and courageous , knows his
duty and never fails to perform it. Much
of the otliciency of the old force was duo
to his labors against all kinds of difficul
ties. That ho will bo successful with the
enlarged force goes without saying.

N , Abbott , window dresser for S. P.

gentlemen have joined with Mr. Abbott
in pushing his invention before the pub

prominent grippcr attachment yet in
vented. It is especially adapted to stoop
inclines , of which Kansas City has manv.
When the cable line in that city started ,
there were numerous incidents of cars
missing hold and slipping back. Mr.
Abbott was then living there and these
accidents suggested the need of a wore

A Barber's XTIck.
Barbers have a trick /.or the country
men who visit the city afld go into the
shop to get shaved. They want to gotoff
as cheap as possible , but' generally they
have the entire bill to pay before leaving.
For instance , the barbeiT < will take a piece
of black pomatum and smearing it on his
hand , run it through the countryman's
hair and remark : "Yoiuiced a shampoo.
Look how dirty your hair , is , you must
have been about a smook-stack. " That
catches him , and ho has to pay for a
shampoo , He gets whatrls called In the
profession a "razzlo-azel" shuve. That
is. the razor is run over his face , nnd
what is left belongs to him. That is the
way the countryman Is served.

FBOX LIFE TO DEATH
s but a moment If rheumatism or neuralgia
strikes the heart , These diseases are the
most painful and the most dangerous of any
to which liumim kind is liable. They lly
from one part to another without a mo
ment's warning , and liniments and other
outward applications arc in themselves dan-
Rcrous'.bccausc they arc liable to drive the
disease to some vital organ and cause In
stant death. Rheumatism and neuralgia
are diseases of the blood , and can only be
reached by a remedy \\hicli wilt drive from
the blood the dangerous acids , Such a
remedy is Athlophoros. It has been thoroughly
roughly tested and is a safe , sure cure.
George Schneider , employed at the sash
factory of lluttig Dros. Manufacturing Co. ,
Muscatinc , Iowa , ss > s : "About a year ago
my wife was atllictcd with both rheumatism
and neuralgia. She had used numerous
remedies with no apparent relief , Having
learned of some of the cures affected by
Athlophoros I bought some for her , I
think it was four or five bottles she used ,
since which time she has been entirely well
of both rhcmatism and neuralgia. As she
was a very great sufferer I consider Ath
lophoros a very efficient remedy in curing
such a case. "
W. C. McClaln , clerk for Smith & Bone-
steel , Druggists , Atlantic , Iowa , says : "I
have tried everything I knew of for my
rheumatism , but nothing did me any good
until I used Athlophoros. It was in July ,
ii34. ! I was confined to the house for over
a month , and was obliged to use crutches.
I suffered with this rheumatism for about a
year. Finally I decided to give Athlo
phoros a trial , thinking it wouly be no bet
ter than the medicines I had used. I felt a
change after I had.used a bottle. Icon-
tinned using it , and have not had any rheu
matism since. "

ros and Athlophoros Pills , but where they

CRUCIBLE.
About twenty years ago I discovered o Mttle
sere on my cheek , and the doctors pronounced
It cancer. I hare tried a number of physicians ,
but without reoclvlng any permanent benefit.
Among the number were one or two specialists.
The modlclno they applied was llko flro to the
sore , causing Intcnio pain. I saw a statement
In the paper * tolling what 3. 8.8. had done for
others similarly afflicted. I procured some at
once. Def ere I had used the second bottle the
neighbor * could notice that my cancer was
healing up. Jly general health had been bad
for two or three yean I bad a hacking cough
and spit Wood continually. I had a serero
pain In my breast. After taking tlx bottles cf
B. S. B. my cough left me and I grew stouter
than I bad been for several years. Uy cancer
has healed over alt but A tittle spot about the
sltt ot a half dime , and It Is rapidly disappear.
Ing. I would advise every one.vtth cancer to
glveB. B.B. a fair trial.
