Tlio Stamliml Oil Hearing. WASIII.VITON , Nov. 2s.In the Standard t Oil cases to-day nothing new came out except , Some interesting facts about llio development Df the use of cotton seed oil In many ways , given incidentally by one of the witnesses , trim evidence is now all In. The complain- nlits seem to have proved conclusively that Ihc railroads almost always give largely dls- criminatintr rates In favor of oil In tank cars find that the Ktandard Oil company Is prae- Ill-ally the only institution whose ulant en ables It to avail itself to any great extent of the lower rates. The railroads have pre sented a number of apparently strong reasons ( Tor giving lower rates on tank cars and .pjssertcd that no special privileges are ae- fconk'd any institution or individual as against Ipny other. The Standaid oil witnesses de- 'tilared ' that they neither asked nor would , ceept any rebates , lower rates or discrimi- lating privileges. All the testimony of this lad , however , was limited to the period Inco the inter-stnto law went into effect. Arguments will be heard January II ! .

[ Special Telegram to thu lir.t : . ] When llio Western lenpucheld Its last meeting all the business of the organ ization was settled , but Mr. Menges , the picsldcnt , did not see ill to give notlco of Its ofllelal dlsbandmcnt. It was generally un derstood , however , that the Western league was a thing of the past , The now league wai organised at Chlr.tgo , and Omaha and Kansas City , of the old Western league , were admitted as incinhi-rs. The new organba- tlon was glien Iho name of "The Western Association , " The name , however , has been given little piomlnenre In the newspapers and people generally have referred to the association as the now West- cm league. Mr. Klllott Marshall , the former secretary of the Western league , was among those who gave the new concern the title of the old. Suddenly It occurred to him ] ( that It would bo a good scheme to bring , the matter before the national arbitration committee. He did so and the new league was r charged with stealing the name of the old organisation. It Is the business of the arbitiatlou | | committee to listen to and con sider every complaint that is put before it , 8J 8n matter how trlval , and accordingly Mr. Marshall at St.loe was in receipt of a dis patch this morning from Mr. Harnie , secre tary of the committee , which invited him to meet the board In December , when his griev ances would bo talked over. Mr. Menges said this morning In relation to the dispatch : "This man Marshall is making a very foolish move and one in which the arbitration committee wilt take no in- teie.st. The new league has not taken the name of the old one , and what if it has ) The Western league Is a thing of the past , and , while It has not disbanded , no clubs compose vil , therefore it does not exist. " iln Secretary Hums , of the arbitration com mittee , said the other day that there were only two base ball organizations outside of the two t leaders that hud the protection of the committee , but this the Western league has not got , and it cannot therefore bo recognized. "Possibly there will bo a Western league next year , in which case the committee could bo 1 : called upon to protect it. Omaha and Kansas City may lie represented in the West ern league , but I do not suppose that there are men in Kansas City with enough nerve to organl/.c n club and then try and compete financially i ! with the new club. The real rea son for Mr. Marshall's complaint Is , I think , because Kansas City and Omaha have given up all idea of being members of the Western 1V league 1 should It again organize. I cannot see why Marshall should bo Interested in our movements 1 at all , as St. Joe , tlio citv lie rep resents , cannot support a base ball club , and could neither cuter the new or old organiza tion. t " Sullivan Will Fight Mitchell.

An Ancient and Horrible Custom lie vlvcd l > y the GhippuwaH. Dt'i.VTii , Minn. , Nov. 23. [ Spe.cj.il Tele gram to the lluc.j ThO Evening * Journal says a Duiuth pine land explorer recently re turned from u trip through northern Michi gan and Wisconsin reports a curious custom among the Indians , which has been recently resurrected. ' While at a place called "Hirteautserus " the Indian , meaning being "whero Caribou died1 , near Portacc Lake , ho came across the entirely nude bodies of three Indian girls hanging lifeless from tlio branches of a tree. Ills Indian guide and hunter then told him a remarkable story of events in connec tion with these young squaws. The Indians f Hirteautserus , fearing removal to the Vhlto Karth reservation , decided to try and evokp tlio blessing and aid of the great spirit , md brought forth an old custom which has png been forgotten. Three of the prettiest lulian girls in the band of Clnppowas were hen Invited to a feast , and after receiving ittentlon and decorations by all assembled , vere invited to partake of a draught of liquid vhleh had been nrepared by the medicine ) moa of the tribe. Without any caowledgo of the deadly nature of the Iquld they drank , and in a few minutes were beyond human assistance. For three days and nights the Indians then held a wierd and exciting service over the corpses and then uriod them with all pomp and ceremony. Indian Agent Gregory is investigating the affair and it is extremely probable that sonic- thing will lie done to punish the murderers of these innocent victims of un old and bar- barlous custom. licil Astray Ry Cyprian.

Pnslor Slu-rrlll Unanimously Asked In Withdraw His Ucslgnntlon. There was a largo turnout of the members of the First Congregational church at the tabernacle , last evening , to hear thu final do- cislon of the Kev. A. F. Sherrlll in regard to tlio reconsideration of his resignation as pas tor of that church. Mr. Sherrill informed , them , In lil.s kindly way , that , after a careful consideration of the matter , he had a pa in de cided to resign. He realised that there were . persons in tlio congregation antagonistic to him , and who thoucht htm incapable of prop erly managing the church after getting Into their new quarters. He therefore , for the Interests of nil concerned , thought it best to leave the place open for n more desirable In cumbent. An animated scene followed this decision , and their was u unanimity of opin ion In favor of refusing to accept the resig nation. The climax was i cached when Mr. Hurnliam , on behalf of the minority , who , by the way , nnmbi'r only four or flvo per sons , said that the opposition had de- elded to make tliclr opinion bend to the will of the great majority , and they would ratify whateveivietloa was taken. This caused an outburst of enthusiasm , mid it was immcdl- atelp moved to appoint a committee of two to wait on Mr. Sherrlll and inform him that It was the unanimous vote of his congregation that his resignation should not be accepted. This was overwhelmingly carried without a dissenting vote , and Messrs. Marshall mid Fleming were appointed as that committee. There Is no doubt now but that Mr. Sherrlll will withdraw ills resignation , as in present ing it lie had said he would not again recon shier his action unless the congregation as a unit asked him so to do. Mr. Sherrlll lias been the faithful pastor of this church forever over eighteen years , and by his simplicity of character and greatness of heart has com pletely wrapped himself around the affections of his people ; and now that they arc about to move in a couple of weeks from the cheer less old rink into their magnificent new chin eh building they feel that ho Is entitled to share the elegant new quarters with them. AMUSKMKM3. A "OiT-nr. Wrong" Scores a Great Success at the Grand. The first performance of n "Great Wrong" was given last night at the Grand opera house to a demonstrative audience. The piece Is n pronounced nielo-dranm involving many of the features and nearly the same line of characters as were brought to the at tention of the public through thu medium of the "Hlaek Flag" and "Tho World. " It Is a tale of injustice" harrowing in its enormity yet happily terminating in icparutlnn of the wrongs of the persecuted hero. There tire few scenes overdrawn and nearly all ot them are distinguished by cither pathos or power or both. Mr. Studley , last evening , was careless In some of his lines and tlio in- ilectlon of some of his sentences was not in accord with every day utterances. It be trayed a lingering effect of the settled style of the higher drama with which Mr. Studley lias been identified. His delineation , how ever , of the hero was a strong one and was > warmly received by tlio audience. Mr. Studley is supported by n strong company , especially Percy Meldon , Hlehard P. Crollus , who makes a very laughable .Tew ; G. D. Mclntyre and Miss Abbie Pierce and Minnie Kissi-lle. The scene between Miss Pierce , as Elba .Tnrley , thu adventuress , with Mel- don as Hragdon , the evil genius of tlio piece , was admirably worked up and evoked re peated plaudits. In the quieter , yet more ditllcult part of Miss Graham , Miss KIsselle gave a very neat , careful and artistic piece of acting. _ nAKADA'S CASK. His Trial For Murder to Commence To-day His Story. The trial of William liarada , who is charged with the murder of Pcto Degcr , the half-breed Indian , will probably commence this morning In the United States court. 13arada is a young fellow of about twenty- two and has been following the vocation of a farmer. His father Is a Frenchman , now living at Lincoln , and his mother has some Indian blood in her veins , being onc-fonrth Indian and three-fourths French , liarada N very sanguine of the outcome m his case , ex pecting to be cleared on the ground of self defense. Harada snys that when the fatal quarrel took place some live months ago , Deger had unjustly accused him of insulting the half-breed's wife , and threatened to kill him for it , at the same time drawing ills knife. As Dcger was a large and powerful man , Harada run to got out of his way , but was pursued. Being hard pressed , Harada snatched a hatchet from a woodpile and threw it at Degcr , hitting him in tlio face. At this juncture the half-breed's brother joined in the chase , and catch ing up with Haradu commenced to horsewhip - , whip him. Seizing a heavy club Harada' ' stood ut bay , and when Degcr came running up with the hatchet Just thrown , Harada struck him a fierce blow over the head with his club , crushing the skull and killing him Instantly. Harada was horrified at the" ter mination of tlio quarrel , but supposing it to bo a case of justillablo homicide made no ef fort to escape , and readily allowed himself to be arrested. Ho thinks his confinement thus far is suillcicnt punishment for his deed. Hoard ol' Trade Notes. The action of the directors of the board of trade taken some days ago , when it was re solved to petition the members to exert thorn- selycs in making an open board a success , for sixty days at least , has not yet berne fruit , for the reason that the committee who bad been delegated to wait on the real estate men and obtain their co-operation has been slow- in making a report. Secretary NaUlngor is preparing an ex haustive report of the foreign imputation of Nebraska , coupled with an estimate of the lauds owned by them , to bo forwarded to George .1.

Take Him From tlio Cus tody of the HherllT and Hang Him to the Nearest Tree His Career. Ait OinaliA Mnn Lynched. Robert C. Poland , better known in Omaha by the sobriquet of "Wiudy Bob , " has been , itis , reported , forced by Judge Lynch to end his disreputable career and yesterday mornIng - Ing his cold and stiff body was cut down from a tree near a small town in Missouri. The tragic end of this well known crook was re lated last night by a friend of the dead man who had Just readied Omaha , brought about in the following manner : During Sunday night a farmer named Joyce was aroused from his sleep only to find a masked man in bis room. Ho must have uttered some cry , us the robber immediately fired , killing Mr. Joyce instantly. Ho then made his escape , carrying with him all the articles of value ho could lay his bands on , A hue and cry was soon raised and the frightened neighbors hurried to the scene. Ono look at the dead body of their neighbor was enough. A posse was organized at once under the charge of the sheriff and the hunt for the murderer began. At 3 o'clock Mon day morning he was found hiding in a swamp. The sheriff advanced toward the desperado aim ordered him to surrender. The only reply was a pistol shot. This called forth a volley from the sheriff's posse , and the murderer gave himself up. Ho had only been hit once by tlio shots of Ills captors , and that ono lodged in tlio thigh. Ho was searched and the missing property found upon him. The sheriff then placed tlm man under arrest. Hut the crowd pushed the sheriff to ono side and ordered him under pain of death not to speak. Poland wus thwi given ono inlnutu in which to pray. At Urn expiration of that time ho was seized and boond. A rope was" passed over tlio limb pf altrco and the des perado hauled up.w His struggles were frightful. and hi I.i face was HO contorted as to. i HPQ the bravest heart momentary n horror. The crowd then departed. Ye tt d ( J' morning a rabbit hunter found the haUging body swinging in the wind. Pinned tO'tbo dead man's breast was a slip of paper Warning all burglars to "steer clear of this town.il I'OI.\XI > 'S OMAIUIIIISTOHV. "Windy" Hob" wa * a involl ir.iOwn back driver In this city.

Previous to thl Poland had served nearly twenty short sen- tern-os ( n the Jail for minor offenses. His Jail life seems to have been the only decent portion of his cntirq career , and ho was placed on parole by Jailer Miller , that la , allowed to do work outsldo of tlio prison walls. This confidence ho betrayed and escaped. That was the last heard of him until , the news came of his lynching lint Poland was probably sent to Jail oftraer than any crook in Omaha. Ho was of an exceedingly quarrelsome nuturo and on the sllRlitetit pretense would precipitate a IlKht. His prison life has not been confined to Omaha , as ho borvcd time la Kansas City and in Minnesota ; Ho was well known as a prbu lighter.
