Dn WITT , Neb. , May 1. [ Special Tele
gram to tlio Br.n.J Yesterday afternoon ,
when the train arrived from the south , thcro
.nllghtcd n sleek looking young man , about
twenty-eight years of age , light complexion
nnd weighing about ono hundred nnd fifty
pounds , carrying In'hts hand n small satchel
'on which was n bundle strapped containing
three or four pairs of pants. Over his
shoulder ho carried on overcoat loosely. Ho
nt once proceeded to offer the contents of his
bundle for sale at prices much below the
wholcsnlo cost of such articles. Pants
" \vbrth $0 to $8 ho sold for $1.150. His plan was
" to dispose of his goods to anybody and every
body on the street for whatever ho could get.
At the clothing stores ho visited ho claimed
ho wanted to buy pants , and at the store of
' O. A. Hunt ho succeeded in getting n ft ) pair
under his overcoat while the clerk's back
Was turned. In n short time the garment
was missed nnd steps wcro at once taken to
find it. The discovery was made , but it was
> n the possession of n saloonkeeper , who had
Jiaid the stranger sovcnty-fivo cents nnd a
bottle of' whisky for them. Mr. Hunt
had him arrested at once for petit larceny ,
nnd at his trial to-day ho gnvo his name ns
ilolui Kelly , of St. Joseph , Mo. , and claimed
ho got the pants from'n traveling man. The
Justice thought the statement a little
"washy , " nnd as ho could not give a satisfac
tory account of the transaction ho fined him
$12 and costs nnd ten days in the county Jail.
The bundle ho brought with htm no doubt ho
had stolen from merchants aloug the line ,
Mayor nnd Council in Conflict.
i HASTINGS , Nob. , May 1. [ Special to the

Hastings have coma to n dead-lock on the
appointment of a street commissioner for the

Chango. At n special meeting last night a
Dumber of now appointments for various of-

Fruit Not Injured.
HASTINGS , Neb. , May 1. [ Special to the
BEE. ] The recent storm in this region was
unprecedented nt this season of the year for
the extreme cold that prevailed during the
f/imo. The tender young sprouts of trees
hnd shrubbery were enveloped in a thick
Coating of ice. This was at first regarded as
ft death blow to nil blossoming fruit , espec
ially to onrly plums , currants and gooseber
ries. The most welcome and agreeable
change yesterday to warm and pleasant
weather has afforded opportunity to examine
the fruit blossoms , and form an estimate of
the probable datnago incurred. It is assorted
by experienced and well-informed persons
Dhnt there is no cause for serious alarm.
Apples are not far enough advanced to bo
injured , ana the damage to other fruits will
bo nominal only.

, Agent. Cohurn Kxplixlns.
Cv McCooK , Nob. , April 21) ) , To the Editor of
thoBeii : Your Washington correspondence
of the liith of March represents the acting
commissioner of the general land office us
stating that I had been removed from my
position as special agent , for the reason thut
it was necessary or desirable to reduce the
number ot special agents , and that from n
table of reports it was shown that duriug the
'last few months the number received from
mo did not compuro favorably with others in
tlmt respect. The acting commissioner
cither know , or should Imva known , that
some now ugunts had Just , been appointed at
the time of the interview , ami hciu'o his
Statement was disingenuous. Applying the
rule of falsus in uuo , fulsus In omnibus , it
vould bo unnecessary to go farther in
answer to his statements.
Yet nuy man iu his senses would under
stand thut tlio number of reports is no
criterion of an agent's efficiency , particularly
where ho was engaged most of the time on
hearings , as I have boon for the past nlno
months. These tables are prepared by tlio
head of a division who illustrates tlio civil
eoryico reform ideas of the late secretary of
the interior. Superannuated nnd entirely
Ignorant of land business , ho was Imported
into tlio bureau and at onca placed In charge
of a division ever the heads of efficient men ,
Knowing nothing of ttio business of the
office , ho naturally becomes ambitious to beef
of importance ns a dispenser of patronage ,
that nl'surd ambition which Impairs the value
Of so innuy humble servants of the govern-
rneut , It Is ( jnito evident that ho U a violent
partisan , and thut may iu sarao mcusura ac
count lor the fact that only two agents out
Of about seventy date back to the last administration -
ministration , as I am informed.
It was known to you , Mr. Editor , that the
ectton of thu department was preceded by n
combined movement of tho. confederated land
thieves , acting through ono who has bought
pis way into high public position. It came to
Biy knowledge- various parts of the stuty.
and it was also notorious thnt n scavenger
process of. attempting to rake up some
charges thnt would stand fire , wns adopted ,
the honorable secretary having refused to remove
move- without them. So far as 1 am advised ,
none were obtained.
It was also notorious that n prominent land
grabber from lllinojs was In ' Washington
goading on the Nebraska chio'f , heretofore
referred to. In view of this combination nnd
ot the further fact thnt the land ofllco hnd
been eleven year * in nscortninlng It , the ,
statement in effect thnt I had been inactive
or indolent , seems a llttlo absurd.
The language of the ( now ) commissioner ,
suggests Talleyrand's motto , that
"Language was given us to con
ceal our thoughts. " How noble the
conduct Of his immediate pcdcccssor. Sparks ,
of adamantine courage , who refused to per
mit n subordinate to Buffer harm at the hands'
of malefactors , for obeying his instruc
tions , nnd who chose to go Into retirement
rather than yield his convictions of duty. The
country needs moro men cast in tlio same
mould.
But the necessities of the leagued nnd
banded rings reipilro a man of putty , who
can lie moulded like clay by their wily attor
neys.
Wind-broken politicians whom the people
have repudiated , are by training , of all mon ,
tlio most unfit for the dollcato duties of ex
ecutive ability. A common blacksmith is as
well adapted to watch repairing , At some
future time I will endeavor tojsrlvo your read
ers a history 6f the lending 'hauls" of the
public land In Nebraska which have como to
my notice. G no nan B , ConuiiN.

The Omnlm nnd Minneapolis teams plnycil
their second gaino yesterday afternoon ,
which resulted as the first In n slgnnl victory
for the liomo club. The weather was ox-
ccrixbly raw nnd dtsngrconblo , nnd tlio nt-
tondanco , ns a consequence , small. How
ever , those who did bravo the chilly winds
were amply repaid , ns the game , so far as
Omaha % vns concerned , was highly cnjo.vablo ,
Botti teams acquitted themselves with much
credit In the Hold , while the Omahas made a
great record for themselves with the stick.
Sovcntcen hits with a total of thirty bases
will do for ono day , nnd a cold day at that.
O'Connell did himself proud , pounding Mr.
Klopf for n two-bagger , two thrco-baggers and
a homo run. Miller and Uurdlck also uindo
a thrco-b.igRor each , and every man hit the
ball safe one or moro times , with the excep
tion of Wilson. The latter , though , fully
inado up for his failure to get on to the Gor
man twlrler by his brilliant work behind the
bat. But In n game as perfect as this ono
wa % It would bo Invidious to particularize.
There was but one error made , and that was
an excusable one , being 11 fumble of a hard
hit grouiuler by Dornn. It must not bethought
thought that because the Omahas ran up
their score to double numbers that the vis
itors played n poor game , for they did not.
The fact that the Omahus mmlo ten earned
runs is proof that It was not Inmo work on
"thol * part , but a tremendous batting achieve
ment on the part of the local players. In the
eighth Mr. Klopf fairly lost his breath. It
was blflf , smash , bang , until every marooned
hosed lad had had a smack at him , and when
the smoke rolled by four runs loomed up on
the score board. At the end of this Inning ,

committee * had reported , the committee on
resolutions reported the following , which
Was adopted !
The democrats of Wisconsin In convention
assembled heartily and fully endorse the
wlso nnd considerate and patriotic course of
Orovcr Cleveland ns president of the United
States. Wo take pride In the manly courage
with which ho has faced the hosts
of protected monopoly and the advo
cated reduction of war * arllt taxes now
retained only upon the every day necessities
of the farmer , nrtisan and laborer , having
long slnco boon removed from the incomes
and bank checks of the rich. Wo denounce
the system of tariff taxes that , whilst it
creates a dangerous annual surplus in the
national treasury of 8155,000,000. nt the same
time Indirectly taxes the producers of the
west for the benefit of the protected nine
dollars for every dollar that goes into the
treasury.
Wo declare that the burden of taxation
should rest upon these who use the luxuries
rather than who use only the necessaries of
life ; that taxation should bo limited to the
requirements of the gpvenunent ; that a
greater tax is robbery under the forms of
law. We , therefore , demand that taxation
bo limited to the needs of the government ,
economically administered , and bo levied on
the luxuries rather than on the necessaries
of life , and that taxation bo reduced in strict
conformity to the principles laid down by
President Cleveland In his message to the
fiftieth congress.
Joseph M. Morrow , of Motiroo , was elected
permanent chairman , and Oscar A. Peter , of
Milwaukee , secretary. The chairman's
reference to Grovcr Cleveland received most
deafening applause , as did thd reading of the
resolutions which were adopted by a standing
vote.
