Dcnth ) of a Pirate King.
New York Times : . A vessel from
Honolulu brings the news of the death
of a man whoso history Is us thrilling1
as that of any pirate king of yollow-
covered literature. Twenty-flvo years
ugo ho was a plrnto king ns brave and
as wlckeil us pirate kings aro. Siuco
the u ho IHIH boon a hermit. In the dnys
of his wickedness nml power ho com
manded a vobsol culled the lied Cloud ,
staunch , unusually fast , and furnished
with powerful puns. Periodically this
cr.ift disappeared from the seas , and in
her plnco would como another , all in
sombre black , and mimed the Black
Cloud. Tills piece of theatrical effect ,
which cost nothing moro than a llttlo
paint , had its expected influence upon
the superstitious minds of the sailors
who were sometimes sent in pursuit of
the vessel. Most of them fully believed
that there was something uncanny
about the craft , and that her captain
had supernatural help.In those days
ho was the terror of the South Puciiic
seas , and the British government sot a
big price upon his head. Hundreds of
attempts were made to capture him by
fair light and by traps and by every
means that could bo devised , But ho
alluded all the traps , came out cictor-
ious in all the fights and in every cuso
sailed away with the traditional scorn
ful laugh of the pirate king. Ho hud a
Spun lull name which nobody remembers
now , and lie was supposed to boiong to
th : t nationality , although ho spoke
Spanish , English , French and Gorman
all with equal lluency.
At last a young English nobleman ,
loving adventure and desirous of the re
ward , undertook to capture him. After
cruising around in the Pacific for some
time ho came Into ono afternoon di
rcctly upon the Red Cloud. The buc
caneer spoke to the Englishman , asking
where .sho was bound and what she had
on board. The reply was that they were
looking for the pirate , that they worf
talking to him , ami that ho had better
give himself up at onco. In an instant
bright lights appeared all over the Ued
Cloud , ami her captain answered in
good English , UJ will &eo you in h 1
Hrst. " Then a cannon ball whizzed
through the air , but it was aimed too
high and passed above the vessel. "I
will see you there , " shouted back
the Englishman , anil a broadside from
his guns aimed low sent the Hod Cloud
to the bottom of the sea. But the buc-
caucor escaped , and not long afterward
ho and two of his crew appeared in a
row boat on the barren island of Molo-
kini. which is near the East Man islands
of the Hawaiian group. It is ii small ,
barren , rocky place , uninhabited.
There his two companions oven left
him , and there ho lived alone for
tweuty-livo years. Siaco his land
ing there ho was called only Morrotin-
nee , the native name for the island.
A sailor who has boon going to vid
fro from the Sandwich Island for ton or
twelve years learned all ho could about
Morrotinnco , and says that ho was much
likea mid feared by tho' natives. They
carried to him all the delicacies to bo
found in the kingdom , and enabled him
to live a life of ouso and luxury. They
said , ho was u tall man , big and com
manding , with a voice like thunder
so powerful that they firmly- believed
ho could cause the wind to rise or the
waters to subside. They would not al
low white men to go near the island if
they could help it , probably beeaubo
they hud boon so commanded by him ,
and when ho died they buried him near
the place where ho had lived , with
much mourning over his departure.

company have unloaded about fifteen c irs of
material at Crete. They commenced laying
ties Friday morning , and continued the work
until Saturday night. The men worked all
night FriUay night. There Is a rumor tliat
this was done to prevent the D. & M. from
crossing their depot grounds. Others say
that it was done to prevent certain Injuno- '
tlons which were threatened.
Oeorgo W. Church , 0110 of the prominent
croccrymen here , hns commenccd.to build a
residence to cost about i,000. Ton or fifteen
other residences , costing from f 1,000 to $1,000
apiece , have been commenced. The building
boom which has struck Crete will last all
summer.
The G. A. H. post at Crete has raised over
$300 and will go to the state encampment at
Lincoln this week , asking that they appropri
ate a sum of not loss than $1,000 , with which
to aid them in putting up permanent hcud-
qnnrters upon the Nebraska Chautauqua
grounds , which will bo used exclusively for
the benefit of the old soldiers of the state.
This is u grand enterprise , ono which the
soldiers will appreciate , and will bo quite an
addition to the Nebraska Chautauqua.
The Growth ot Palmer.
PALMEII , Nob. , Feb. 20. [ Correspondence
of the HEE.J Palmer , Morrick county , Nob. ,
was platted in the winter of 183 and is lo
cated on the main line of the Lincoln &
Uluck Hills railroad , 135 miles northwest of
the capital city and 159 miles distant from
Omaha. It is an important Junction and also
a division i > out. ! There have been built hero
already during the cold weather twenty-five
business houses and twenty residences , nnd
nil of them built in the most substantial man
ner. The Magner brick block was put up iu
midwihter and would add to the app&arance
of any city. Another brick block is being
consrtmcted alongside of it. Thirty new
buildings are contracted to bo put nn this
spring and every day adds a now one. Some
of these buildings are to bo of brlrk. .
Palmer has enough well settled territory
tributary to the town to support , a town of
0,1100 people. The country is beautiful and
cannot bo exceeded by any portion of the
state. It has on the northwest and west
three Junctions , and all trafllc from these
brunches must come through Palmer , and
when the line is built from Palmer to
Schuyler. which is an assured thing , tnorcby
giving a direct communication to Omaha , it
will bo a great transfer point and u double
division.
During the fall and winter of 1887 nnd 1838
the U. & M. commenced and have nearly
completed a largo , solid rock and pressed
brick round house , also a turntable capable
of turning two engines ut one
time ; " a water tank standing on
fifty-foot piers. The depot is the finest in
the state outside of Omaha and Lincoln. It
is u two story structure , 110x120 feet , and will
bo fitted up in thu most comfortuolo manuci
possible. When completed there will bo an
awning around the whole building and a
twenty-foot platform on ono sldo and ends
and an eight-foot platform on the opposite
side.
side.What Palmer needs most at present is c
first class $ a day hotel and the person whc
will put his money into such nn enterprise
will reap a big profit on the Investment from
the start.

Chtdrmun Dickie of the prohibition national
committee , IB billed to spculc nt Cedar
ItupUls , March 2. where nn attempt will bo
mode to orgauli-0 a prohibition third party
inqromunt In tblj state. Hcrctoforo the St.
John crowd have Inado no headway in Iowa ,
tt looked ridiculous for them to bo trying to
organize nn alleged prohibition party la a
state wlienyprohibltlou was already in force.
86 they have kept out , until now the icpubll-
cnrt majority has decreased to so slender a
margin thutihc St , . John men think that any
diversion 'of a few thousand republican votes
Would thro\v \ the party out of power
Uo.ro ' in Iowa. That is true , for
Govprnor Lnrrabco's majority at the
last 'election was only about fourteen thou
sand , and it would not take much to wipe
that out. The third party follows want noth
ing better than to beat the republican party
iu every state in which It has a majority , andt
their course shows that they are more
anxious to pulvcrl/e It than they are to pul
verize the rum i > owcr. So far the legislature
has Ixien so busy with railroad matters that
it has done nothing toward strengthing the
weak places in'the present prohibitory law.
The drug atoro needs a llttlo attention and
needs It right away , for In many places it has
become the substitute as well as successor of
the saloon. Jf the legislature falls to supply
any needed amendments to the law , It will
pive the St. John men Just the opportunity
they want and help them to turn the party
out of ixiwer.
The question that is puzzling the statesmen
who want to do something in this respect , Is
as to what should bo done. There have been
two radical temperance bills introduced this
session. The Coaster bill and the Hodman
bill. The llrst takes the sale of liquor entirely
away from druggists and leaves it in the
hands of state agents , four to n county. It is
ironclad In its provisions and so severe and
harsh that people of moderate views would
never accept it. The I ted man bill loaves the
wale of liquor for legitimate purposes still in
the hands of the druggists , but hedges them
about with such severe restrictions and pen
alties that it would bo doubtful if druggists
could bo found who would bo willing to take
the risk and burden of selling for legitimate
use. So a subcommittee has boon working up
a substitute measure for both bills and it
will bo submitted .soon. The bill repeals the
law whereby pharmacists now dispense with
liquors , and provides that persons holding
permits under the provision of the act may
sell liquors for medicinal , alcohol for me
chanical and chemical , and wino for sacra
mental purposes , and for no others. Permits
must be obtained in open court , and notice of
application must be duly publislrcd before
hand , and the application must bo tiled with
the clerk of the court. Said application must
bo signed by n majority of the freehold
voters of the township , city or ward , and
also by the wives of twenty-three freeholders
of said ward or township. No one keeping
a hotel or public house , can pro
cure a permit , and any conviction
of violation of the prohibitory laws is a bar
against the issuance of a permit. Ho must
give bond for 1.000 , and must bo of good
moral character. Permits may bo revoked
at any tirao by the court , and if found violat
ing the law , the offender , if a pharmacist ,
shall lose his certificate. Permits shall be
issued to pharmacists only , unless none ui > -
i > lywhon the court may appoint a suitable per
son not a pharmacist. For transportation of
liquors a certificate must bo obtained from
the county auditor , and returned to him for
cancellation when used. Consumers buying
liquor must sign application , and must bo
personally known to seller of liquor , or must
bo vouched for by known parties. Applica
tions are to bo filed with the county auditor.

One of the most attractive places about the
state house is the library. It is largo , roomy ,
high , handsomely decorated , conveniently ar
ranged and in every way u very attractive
resort for a leisure hour. It contains a very
superior collection of law boolts , ranking as a
law library about fourth or fifth In the
United States. Lawyers come hero from all
over Iowa to consult it , and they enjoy very
much the beautiful surroundings in which it
is placed. The other day n bill was before
% > senate proimsins to divide the library
and set apart the law collection by
itself in the basement , leaving the
beautiful library chamber for the
miscellaneous books and for the casual visi
tor. The lawyers wore up in arms aemnst
the place. They said they didn't want to bo
tucked ofT somewhere In the basement , and
give up the light and airy apartments where
the books now are. So when the roll was
called the bill was defeated by n vote of
nearly three to ono. And yet there was
pretty good reason for urging the bill to bet
ter servo both classes of readers. Hut the
lawyers resent anything that looks like
making them second choice. They generally
insist on having first-class double preferred

The present freight war between the leadIng -
Ing trunk lines is costing business men of
Iowa hundreds , of thousands of dollars ,
strange as it may seem at first sight. The
heavy shlpi > crs of staples who lala in large
stocks months ago , are complaining bitterly
of the , cut and the injustice it does them.
The made their purchases when rates were
normal and fixed the price of selling on the
basis largely of the cost of freight. Now
under cut rates smaller dealers ship in goods
and Hell for one-half the old price , compelling
them to meet the competition at nn actual
loss on every sale. They have their stock
on hand and must get rid of it ,
but to do so must sell on the basis
of this present ruinous freight rate
although they had to pay two or three times
as much to get the goods. So there is n very
earnest dqajru that the legislature pass a law
forbidding railroads from charging rates
without giving duo notice say ninety days
so that shippers who have to carry a large
stock , caji govern themselves accordingly.
Ono business man of this city says that his
company ( lumberdcalers ) will lose $ . " > 0OGO by
this reckless and unjustifiable cut on estab

A TEUIUIJLE DUHIj IN MID-OCKAX.
Two Young Men li'ljjlit Over u Girl
With Itlnok Kyes.
Now York World : The Noordlnnd ,
stanch steamship of the Red Star line ,
sot sail Saturday , Fob. 4 , from Ant
werp. Yesterday BIO ! eropt up the bay
and found moorage at a pier in Jersey
City. Arm in arm down the gang-
plunk walked two young man not yet
out of their teens. Ono WHS dark ,
bomhro , and pompous , the other fair
and jolly. Both wore fat , and they
were bobom friends. They wore Jules
Fribourg ot Motz and Simon Stein of
Rogonsbuwf. On the pier they wrung
each others hands and wont through
all the extravagant forms of demon
stration with which peopleof the con
tinent are wont to give 'evidence of
priof at parting. The contortions over ,
each took up his hand-bug uiul went
his way. '
And yet last .Tuesday's Bunrbo.had
seen theseyoung' men glaring nt each-
other across the table in the steamship's
dining room and hastening through the
formality of breakfast In their impetu
ous dcalro to shod each other's mood.
The cause of all the dlllluulty a dark ,
dimpled little beauty of eighteen sat
away down at the end of the table between -
twoen her parents , Mr. and Mrs. Morris
of Manchester. England , and she hor-
vously watched her two adorers. She
know of the trouble between thorn , and
was so apprehensive of the consequences
that she loft her meal almost untasted.
The story , with all its tragic lights.
Is omitted entirely from that prosy fic
tion known as the Captiutt's log. In the
memory of the passengers It was writ
ten In red Ink. The Hrst day out from
Antwerp nrotty Miss Moarls walked on
dock , ana the wind made her red
cheeks rosier. Before eight bolls struck
poor Frlbourg was smitten. That night ,
too , jollty Stein wont sorrowing to his
bunk with black eyes looking at him
from all quarters.
Next day both youths made eyes at
the fair passenger , and she looked from
ono to the other and then went to her
mother. An acquaintance was soon
formed and she walked up and down
the dock with each in turn. A day
later she walked with both at once , 0110
fair hand on each arm. Neither could
utter his admiration in any tongue she
know. All that cither could do was to
walk up and down and worship. They
berated each other , but she didn't un
derstand and just smiled their efforts to
entertain her. The passengers saw a
storm was browing.
There was a Gorman band on board
coming to America. On dock , last Mon
day night , Mr. Stein gave the chief
musician a mark and bndo him go and
execute * 'Dio Wacht am Rholn'1 for the
lady's delectation.
"Stay , " cried Fribotirg , who had
French blood in his veins and French
coin in his pocket. "Hero are 4 francs ;
play tliCfc'Marboillniso' for the lady. "
The musician pocketed both retainers ,
and remained neutral. The lady heard
both tunes , and that complication made
it over so much harder to toll which she
liked most. Meanwhile , Stein and Fri-
bourg were having a war of words , and
the passengers who overheard thorn an
ticipated trouble.
At 11 o'clock that night the passen
gers bahl Miss Emma Morris was to bo
the he-roino of a mortal combat on the
following morning. When Stein handed
Frlbourg his card Friborurg was pleased.
The seconds were selected. Fribourg
chose M. Suoques Grab , a handsome
Swiss from Zurich , and Mr. George
Durst of Richweed Park. Stoiu solicited
and obtained the aid of Mr. John Tan
ner of London and Sig Louis Custol of
Milan , Italy. There was a council of
war in tho'cabin. The seconds hold
whispered consultations. The princi
pals smoked oignrots and signed thobo
articles , which were properly witncbsed :
STKAMKII Noonm.Axn , Feb. 1 ! ! . I , the
undersigned , acknowledge hereby that 1
have challenged my fellow-traveler , Jacob
Fribourg , of Motz , to n duel with pistols in
consequence of his repeated insults , which
culminated to-day. SIMOS STKIN.
of Regcnsburg , Havnria.
Hero was Frihourg's agreement :
AT SKFob. . 13. Herewith I acknowledge
myself prepared to fight a duel to-morrow
morning at 0 o'clock on board the steamship
Noordland with Mr. Simon Stem , who has
challenged me. I likewise declare herewith
that I have given my two seconds , Mr.
George Durst and M. Jacques Giob , full
authority and power to arrange for the choice
of weaixms , etc. It lias been agreed and ar
ranged by thcm-that pistols at fifteen puces
should bo used , and that ono bullet should bo
exchanged , and that in case it misses fire I
willl immediately resume the old friendship
which has hereto existed. .
JULKS Fiiinouna.
The chief officer offered the signal
gun for a weapon. Fribourg gravely
baid there was but one. It would bo
unequal.
Ho would choose pistols. Each prin
cipal then went to his state-room and
indited condolatory epistles to parents
and friends. In stoic fortitude both
forbore to leave a single message for
her for whoso sake they were to peril
their lives.
Meantime the seconds fraternised in
the saloon. Sig. Custot told a World
reporter that before retiring he Bought
out his principal and tried .to dissuade
him from lighting.
"You think , " said the latter broken
ly , "that I am going 1o die of a German
band. Not so. It is for her for her.
Write of mo , I pray , the English loiter
that I love her better than the band. "
Signer Castot then betook himself to
rest. Stein , too , slept , and Fribourg
struggled with a farewell letter. The
passengers were waiting wlion , at l >
o'clock next morning , the two rivals
were conducted blindfolded to the poop.
There were two camp stools , with some
thing lying on them , overspread by nap
kins. It was the weapons. Only the
throbbing of the great engines could be
heard. At the words "Ono , two , three , "
they were to tear the bandages from
their oycs , soi/o the pibtols and lire.
The seconds were in their places. Cap
tain Harlick Nichols and Chief Olllcor
Arthur Mills stood on the bridgo.
Jacques Grobo's voice as ho counted
"threo" foil like dropping pebbles into
a lake of silence. With u frenzied mo
tion the duellists tore the napkins away
and reached for the instruments of
death. Their hands fell , not on pibtols ,
but on bausages !
Stein fell on the deck , tonrs stream
ing from his eyes , convulsed with
laughter. Fribourg was wild with rage.
The Captain on the bridge was in
momentary danger of convulsions. The
chief olllcoi came near falling into the
boa.
There was a treaty of poiico made on
the bpot , and the good ship plunged
merrily on her way. Miss Morris told
Sig. Castot that she would hnvo felt terribly -
ribly if Mr. Fribourg had been killed.
Phyllis Hroughton , a London actress of
bin lesquo and operetta , is said to bo engaged
to Lord Iagau , the son and heir of Earl Cow-
ley , a young man of twenty-two , and a gicat
matrimonial catch.

Ijowcr House of the Gonernl
Assembly Has Now Under
Consideration.
Ilnilrond Itcvnlutlon ,
DKS Mot MM , In. , Fob. 25. | Correspondonca
of the UIK. : ] Both branches of the legisla
ture adjourned las t week for a few days and
the members went homo and Interviewed
their constituents on the railroad bills now
under consideration. The result has been
wonderfully encouraging to the advocates of
restrictive railroad legislation , and practically
assured the enactment of the measures prepared -
pared by the anti-monopoly leaders.
The house commenced on Wednesday to
consider thu bill to prohibit extortion and unJust -
Just discrimination , and to empower the rail
road commissioners to fix freight rates , and
every ono of thu thirty sections of the bill
was given the most careful consideration.
The provisions of the bill In brief uro as fol
lows : Section 1 extends thu jurisdiction of
the railroad commissioners to Include every
common carrier Iu the state ; section t ) de
clares that every charge for handling , stor
ing or transporting property shall
bo Just and reasonable ; neo-
tlon 8 defines unjust discrimination i
section 4 requires railroads to futnish proper
terminal facilities for receiving freight from
connecting lines ; section 5 , prohibits charg
ing inoro for a short than for a long haul ;
section 0 , prohibits ixioling and all combina
tion or agreements in regard to rates ; section
7 , provides for the publication of posting of
tarlflratcs and classifications ; section 8 , pro
hibits delays in shipment ; section St , defines
the amount of damage for any violation shall
bo three times as much as the actual loss sus
tained ; section 10 , requires the board of com
missioners to prosecute the case In behalf o (
the injured party , and establishes rules for
their guidance ; section 11. makes every violation
lation a misdemeanor on thopaitof the agent
or employe who aids or abets in the act , and
fixes the fine ut not less than K > 00 nor moro
than fcVHH ) ; section IB , confers power ujKm
the commissioners to examine the books and
accounts of nuho.ul companies , send for per
sons and papers and punishes nnv neglect or
refusal to comply with their orders In these
particulars the same as for contempt of
court ; sections III , 14 and 10 , explains
ut length the manner of making com
plaints , and makes It the duty of
the commissioners to hear and determine
them as speedily as iwssiblo ; section 10 pro
vides that the commissioners or any party
interested may take the case on refusal of
the company to obey the icquircinents of the
board into the district couit to bo speedily
determined by equity proceedings ! section
17 empowers the commissioners to fix a
schedule of freight charges that shall not bo
higher than the maximum rates fixed by stat
utes ; section 18 id 21 prescribes the manner
of reducing schedule rates ; section 3J pro
vides that annual reports from all railroads
shall bo made to the commissioners ; section
23 , 24 and -5 defines extortions as charging
any greater rate than that fixed by the com-
missionois , and makes the penalty a line for
the first offense of not less than $1,000 nor moro
than $5,000 , and for the second not moro thau
flO.OOO and for the thiul not more than $30-
000. For all subsequent offenses a uniform
fine of f25XX ( ) is imposed. The remaining sec
tions except certain pi opcrty from the pro
visions cf Mils act , provide for free transpor
tation for the commissioners nnd the repeal
of all conflicting statutes.
The discussion of the bill was qulto ani
mated and a largo number of amendments
prox | > sed. Itabb , of Union , the greenback
leader , proposed un amendment to section 7 ,
abolishing the board of railroad commission
ers , but it only received eight votes. Gum-
mins , of Polk , who has steadily tried to
weaken the bill by nil noils of twists and
turns , tried to attach a proviso that the com-
missione'rs could only change the schedule
after a public trial in which both parties
should bo represented by counsel , but
the amendment was only supported
by ten members , which is about
the full strength of the opponents of the
measure.
This bill has been under consideration for
nearly two months and received the atten
tion of the beat minds in the legislature. It
is safe to say that if any scheme can bo de
vised by which extortion and unjust discrim
ination and pooling can ho absolutely prohib
ited and reasonable rates secured this law
will accomplish it. There is no question but
what it will pass , although the vote in the
senate may bo close.
The house will send the bill to the acnato
on Monday and it will come up for considera
tion the lust of the week. The bill fixing
maximum rates will be next considered by
the house , and will go through with a rush.
The bill reduces the rates about one-third
lower than the average during the past year.
The farmers ) of Iowa uro extremely wide
awake on these questions and have raised a
perfect avalanche of petitions upon their sen
ators during the past week , with very notice
able effect. Among the senators converted
by these petitions are Deal , of Carroll , and
Caldwcll. of Dallas , both of whom will now
favor stringent legislation , including the two-
cent fiiro bill.
Insurance companies got a lively shaking
up In the house this week. Mr. Ouster , of
Jasper , introduced a bill prohibiting all pool
ing or combinations among them , pud un , ,
amendment was tacked on requiring them to 1
pay the full face of the policy , regardless of
the value of the property insured. The bill ]
will not bo likely to pass thu senate , as that
body has several insurance men among its
manfbors , who are watching for Just such
bills , and will kill them off in committee.
The efforts of the house to protect farmers
from fraudulent notes , by repealing the "In
nocent purchaser" clause will prove u fail
ure. Nearly every lawyer iu the senate de
clines that any law of this character will
throw a cloud on all commercial paper and
seriously interfere with nil business transac
tions. Two bills intended to protect thu people
ple from these outrageous frauds practiced
by confidence men who securing the names
of prominent farmers to receipts , and then
transform their notes which they sell ut the
nearest bank , have been killed in the scnuto
hud no bill of this character can got through
that body.
The republican state convention which
moots hero on March iil , promises to bo an . .
exciting event. Many senators will favor J
postponing action on the lailroad bills until [ f
the party can bo hen id from. ' 1
Uoth factions lire bending every fij
energy to secure a majority of
delegates. It is even hinted , and ouito
broadly too , that the convention was called
thus early to allow the railroad men to get in
their work on the delegates and thus call a
halt to all extreme legislation. It In conceded
that Allison will bo the unanimous choice of
the convention , hut any conlllct ovornondinfr
legislation might complicate matters and
render SUCCCHB at the election uncertain. Tha
St. Johnltes are already in the field and
making desperate efforts to orgunUo the
third party , and many feel that unanimity
and concert of action is absolutely newnsary , > ]
to insure success , both in the convention unit 1 J
