THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ? SUNDAY , .JULY 10. 1887. = TWEI > TE PAGESL OPENED WITH A REPLEVIN , Grocers Begin Their Test Case Against the Union Pacific For Overcharges. A SELF-GLORIFYING OFFICER. How Iilncoln's Mnyorllaclttic Journal 1'nir Him Up-Tho Htnto Fair and County 1'rcmluiiiH Iilncoln NCWB. fpnoii THE JIEK'B LINCOLN Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Fowler turned over to Hayinond Kros. and II. P. Law , wholesale grocers , the cargoes of sugar raplcvincd by them from the Union Pacific company , which refused to accept the rate of transportation tend ered by the firms. Each of these firms had 375 barrels ol sugar that they roplov- mcd and it took a bond in the neat sum of $27,000 to got the goods. This is tiio test care , as predicted by the Oin : to come , and it is now fairly in the courts where it will bo closely watched by more than local interests. STAItTMNG TESTIMONY. Under this heading the State Journal yesterday gave a column space for the hypocritical mayor of the city to air him self and his spleen through a back office speech made by the mayor in the gamb ling case. The city attorney was trying Iho case for the city , the replevin case covering the gambling fixtures , and tlio case was being tried before a jury. The mayor , after the prosecution hud made a speech , addressed the jury himself , although he was not an attorney in the case and had not heard the evidence. Among attorneys & smile goes round at thu anxiety of the reform mayor to exhibit himself , hut Colonel I'hilpot , who was the opposing cousel , offered no objection , and tlio mayor made his speech , which he revised until late in the night and had published to his own individual glorv in the State Journal , which took great care not to publish any part of the testimony on the other Bide , or the reply that Colonel Plnlpot made to the bashfui mayor. This reply , from those present who heard it , is described as simply terrific. When Colonel I'hilpot has as vulnerable a sub ject as a man of the calibre of the mayor , ho dissects right and left like a professor in a medical college. Thu colonel de picted the policy of the mayor in his acts of pelf-glorification. Ho reviewed the mayor's ' double act on the Sunday or dinances , when ho proclaimed and left thu city until the storm blew ever and the council helped him out with revised ordinances. Thu colonel called the mayor a hypocrite and oven harder names , and cited proof to sustain his assertions. All this part of the trial was carefully eliminated in the report published in tlio only alleged newspaper in the city. It is a dawning and growing suspicion among a good many people that this entire ex hibition is but a well planned scheme of thu mayor to advertise himself as a re former , and a great many people who know the man nnd his record know that such a course would bo very natural. Ono fact that would load ono to think that the mayor was searching for glory was that the raid over which the present suits in replevin grew was made on the night of Juno ISO , just prior ono day to the time when thu law making gambling a felony came into e fleet , anil which is a law that will enforce itself. Under the old law a long tight in public courts was I certain to follow and it all gave the mayor a chance to poise for the last time on thu gambling question. What the re sults ot the case may bo is yet un known. The jury in this cose disagreed , standing three to throe yesterday when discharged , and in the afternoon another case ever the same matter was up in county court. The law and tlio ev idence in the eases obtainable will bo doubtless fliifllciont to reach a vorclictonu way or thu other , and it is just as well to give the news and facts on both sides. COUNTY ritEMIUMS. Secretary Furnas , of the state board of agriculture , has issued a special circular calling attention to the premiums offered by-tho state board to counties for county displays at the coming state fair. This in years past has been on a of the most ( successful competitions nnd many coun ties have participated.

That many people lost fortunes by not investing at Minneapolis when its great water power was discovered is well known and that Kearney has a water power almost if not equal to that of Minneapolis can not bo denied that the opportunity to invest cheaply will not continue any great Inngth of time , judg ing from the rapid rise und transter of property in this growing city as every ono who visits Kearney appreciates the water power and its other natural advantages.

While Attorney-General Garland was sitting under a tree in his Hominy Hill retreat , sai's the Arkansaw Traveler , an old fellow , followed by six or eight dogs , came along , stopped , looked scarchingly at Mr. Garland , seated himself on a log , slapped a brindled our and said : "I've been eround hero several times , but this is the fust time that I've cotchcd you at homo. " "Yes , I don't stay hero much of the time. " "Don't try to raise a crap , it seomsJ" "No. " "Did you ever try ? " "No. " "Don you reckon this old dirt would sprout a blackcyeycd pea ?

Cincinnati Enquirer : One of the most noted characters of Cincinnati , the "steeple climber , " died Thursday night at his homo , 71) ) lianU street. His name was Joseph Rodriguez Weston , and for nearly thirty years he has been climbing steeples in this city. No point was too high and dizzy for him to reach and I maintain his steady foothold. Of late years he would undertake only these dif ficult feats that appalled others. It was his pardonable boost that he could go as high or higher than any other man. There are many stones of his hazardous exploits in this city. The most notable , probably was the draping of the cathe dral spire on the night following Arch bishop Purcell's death. On the ground below were 3,000 or 4,000 people eagerly watching for a glance at the daring man as thu lightning Hashes revealed him on the dizzy height. Wcstou , when only 13 years of ago , had placet ! the tip on the same steeple. Another feat that was greatly talked about at the time waa on the night , of July 8,1876. Weston climbed the spire of the Presbyterian church on Fourth street , the tallest in the city , and nailed fast tlio stars and stripes , ! 285 feet from the ground. It was on this occasion that he had a narrow escape. Weston had obtained from Mictilo. the jeweler , a heavy gold chain , the like of which were solid' . Ills chain , when ho was falling , hold him for a brief moment , during which the climber succeeded in regain- ins ; his hold. Another time , when Wcs- ton was removing the timbers from tlio steeple of St. Xavier , which had been burned , ho was struck by a falling reckon on the head and slightly hurt. Weston had a horror of going beneath the sur face of the earth , ami would never do- cond into a collar or cistern. Wcstou's father was named Rodriguez a Spaniard , who died soon after his son's birth. His widow afterward marrietl o man named Weston , which name the boj adopted. Young Weston's stepfather taught him to climb at an early ago amius he advanced in years his manj ditficult performances gave him a wide spread reputation. Ho was 41 years ol ago when ho died. His son , now onh 3i i 13 years old , already bids fair to equal his father lu aerial explots. - BufTulo Ultra Wife. Washington Special to the Now Yorl \V orId : While Uuft-ilo Hill has been as sociating with crowned hoada in London a few residents of this city , who kmni the pretty girl of Capitol Hill who , wr ricd Colonel Whituly of Kentucky , ras lolt a young widow by his death , and wa married to Mr. Cody , have recalled thi episode In the dashing frontiersman' ca reor.

Intricate Operation For Preventing tiockjnw. Chicago Intur-Ocean : John Kollher , a foreman in tlio employ of Crane liros. . ran a rusty nail into his foot about an - inch back from his big too , on May i0 ? Ho washed the wound out with cold water , tied a piece of cotton oner it , nnd - in a day the foot was comparatively well again , the nail having just punctured thu skin. Yesterday morning ho com - plained of a sore throat. When thu physi cian whom he had called upon to consult , asked him to open his mouth it was discovered that his jaws refused to perform their functions. Dr. J. I ) . Murphy waa called in and at once pro nounced the malady a typical form of , traumatic lockjaw. The man was re moved to his homo , No. 5-1 y right street. An hour later the tetanic grin sut in , and f it became apparent that extreme meas ures had to bu resorted to. A consulta ! tion between Drs. Murphr , Hartman and Sailor resulted in the operation below described : Mr. Kollehor was put under the influence ot other. The sponge had barely been applied to the sufferer's nos trils when thu initial tetanic convulsions , displayed itself. Ho jumped from the operating slab , and made a mad rush foi r- the window. His jaws were set , his eyes protruded , and ho fought with n ; jrenzicd strength which the combined : efforts of four men could hardlj overcome. Again ho was giver y the anwsthotic , this time with bottoi clfi'ct. The lance was then taken in hand , and an incision 4 inches long and ! ) inches deep was made an inch and t n- half behind the hip bono. The sciatic P- ucrvcr , which lies to the rear of the ball and-sockut joint , was then exposed. Here co a strong metallic sound was passed bo ho ncath the nerve , and it was stretcher Hll downward from the spinal oortl with ji pressure of 175 pounds. The gash was theu dressed with lodoform and antiscp tics and sewed up. Au incision i ) menu [ JS ; in- long was next made in the groin , tin kuifo cutting downward past thu femoral p- artery until thu crural nerve was ox rst poicd. Hero the sound was again used id and the ncrvo drawn downward fron ty the spinal cord with a pressure of lift ] pound ? . as This idea of treatment for lockjaw is s cd lit ) w one , and was lirst successfully it- od temptud in the Kuvopoan medical col til leges about sir months ago , and the casi V1' oflvclielicr is probably Iho first effort in .Is.ht thu wu9t. It wftf the left foot which wa ht injured. The two nerves treated ar < , those supplying locomotion and sensatioi jot from thu ncrvo center to the seat of hole MO wound. The stretching was done to dc ho Btroy the nervu current which couductoi the sensations 'from ' Iho scar in the loft foot produced byljtho nail to the base of the brain , also ito Tirovent the convey ance of the irritation from the pyiumic foot to the brain. A WcM&rri'city Council. Boston Advertiser : The decision of the state supremo1 court of Iowa in the DCS Mumes street railway case has opened the eyes of | ninny citizens of les Molncs to the extent of the powers vested In city councils. They know In a general way before that the council governed the city , but tlioy did not realize how far- reaching and despotic its ordinances might bo. The , [ Iowa State Register states the case with evident fooling , but there is no reason to believe that it wnrps the facts. The details of the case are of slight concern to other cities , but the conclu sions fairly drawn from it arc of interest to all. The Register declares that the supreme court's decision reaffirms and makes more absolute tlio theory that the council is the city , and not only for the time in which its members hold their terms of olllco , but for thirty or fifty years if. it- chooses to so extend its power over the future. Un der the ruling of the Iowa court a council once elected can bargain away absolutely the streets and alloys of acity for thirty years , or twenty-eight years beyond its own time , and make thu public thoroughfares private property for tlio exclusive use of a priavato corpora tion. Under it a majority of that council , whether inllucnccd by proper motives or otherwirc. can thus fetter a city and check its growth , as lias been done witli Des Monies now , and in no small degree , without the people of the city having ab solutely any redress. In the height of its indignation at the subjection of the city , the Register unrea sonably finds fault with the judges for their interpretation of the law In the caso. It forgets that the supreme bench is not responsible for the existing powers of the council , but the lawmakers , who should have limited them. It is absurd , therefore , to cavil , as it docs , at the ac tion of tlio court for "using its great and final power to help fasten this thcoiy of a city council's powers upon Iowa. " The court could rightly aclaiit no other comidenvtion than the voice of the law to control their decision. lint while wo take 133110 with this course of the Register , wo think that its movement to limit the power of the city councils of Iowa is iu iho right direction It is a dangerous thing , as the Register says , to let a body of men whoso term is for two years , make contracts in the name of the city for thirty or fifty years , and dispose of city franchises with abso lute power' In the east the powers of municipal governments have been clipped and fencou in for evident and urgent rea sons , anil , like reforms in tlio west , are now in order. VVo believe fully in local self-go.vornmcnt , but proper chocks and balances will guard agningt abuses of the large powers necessarily confided. * FAMILIAR "AMERICANISIVIS. " An KiiRllsh Obflcqver Points Out Dif ferences in , tbe Common Probably the most frequent question which is put to'1 rmi Englishman visiting these shores forUhtf lirst time , after hav ing grappled with./tho . poser , is ; "What do yon think of America ? " "Do you find much difference in the dialects of the two countries ? " That there is a dif ference nobody1' ' will deny ; but among the refined classes'Mn ' Now York , apart from certain il local expressions , it is far less notipoablo than would have been expected , . The first thing that would strike a Londoner is probably the hr/.y , familiar "Yo-nh" by which you arc answered on all1 sides by persons from whom , in England , you would expect "Yres , sir ; " while J'See hero" is also pe culiarly American. If the person you " are addressing does not catch your "re mark , ho will startle yon with "What that ? " "Whpt is it ? " or "flow ? " when in Kngland he is accustomed to "What ? " "Eh ? " or "Beg pardon ? " under similar circumstances. There is no exact corresponding ex pression in English for "to get loft" and "to got there. " the nearest approach being "to bo in the cart" and to pull through. " The English never use the words "pre vious" or "fresh" ( impudent ) ' "rare meat" ( underdone ) , "fleshy" ( stout ) , "dis patch" ( telegram ) , "full" ( tipsy ) , "home ly" ( plain , addressed to persons ) . An American child will call her parents inam-a and pappa , and will cause a shout of laughter or a shocked look when she speaks of "bugs" for srdinary insects , this term being exclusively reserved in England for the "bed" species. It is hardly nec essary to allude to the use of the wont "guess" ( Anglico , "I fancy , " or "I think" ) , as from time immemorial an * Englishman thinks ho has only got to say "I guess" and talk through his nose to imagine he is talking "real good Yan kee. " "Dude" Is unknown In England , and no one there would Know what was meant by a "dry goods store" ( linen- draper's ) . Londoners have nothing grander than "house-porter" to correspond to "jani tor , " and would possibly bo puzzled to know what was meant by "a high-stoop house , " or an "English basement house. " They would also ask for the "lift" in place of the "elevator , " and would think it strange not to have to go up ono flight to the "lirst" floor , as in England they are accustomed to call this latter the "ground lloor. " Such slangy ex pressions as "You make mo tired , " "To blow you off , " "I fool a kinder good , " "L have had a real elegant time , " arc characteristically Amprican. If you ask an American to take a drink , ho will reply , " 1 should smile , " the meaning of wnich is obvious , and ho may possibly offer to give you "points" ( tips ) on seme coming raco. The wortl "boss" takes the place of our "governor , " oxcent when a a London street Arab means to be particularly polite anil to gain your cus . tom for a box of lights , etc. , wncn noth ing under a "capt'n" or "my lord" is good enough. The Americans pride themselves on speaking very correctly , nnd certainly it is only very rarely fhat ono hears an "h" dropped or put in the wrong place ; but , on the other hand , one constantly bears "Was you there- ' < and the use of the word ' everywhcres" in its plural form. On this side .they , speak of ' 'mail ing" for posting a letter , and take the "stage" , for the depot in place of thrF "omnibus" ( bus ) or trains to the Nation or terminus. The word "candy"in1 America seems tocovcr all kinds of sweetmeats , which are gen erally called "sweets" by the crowa and "sugar-plums'1 "by the sofcct in England. There is aho a corrnption of the good old Scotch word 'Jlofluo , " used generally bore , vij"tarTeel ! and it sounds comical to English ears , tq ask for a piece of anple-pie In place "of. tart , pie being only used when speaking of meat.
