The boaid of supervisors were occu
pied jeslordaywlth the small po.\ cases ,
the iirincipal question of debate being
whether the o.\pon e of the recent
cut-os should bo paid by the city or
county. Tlio bill is quito n heavy one ,
amounting to about57,000 for the twelve
cases ticated , Including doctors' bills ,
nurses , supplies , etc. The effort to
shoulder the expense upon.tho city did
not work as well as was hoped by the
board , and the bills will bo paid through
the proper channels. These pases dem
onstrate the urgent ncee-slty for homo
more satisfactory method of handling
btich patients , and the county sick gen
erally.
There is a constant wrangle over siuk
Ijationls , lest the rounty may have to
foot an occasional bill. The case of the
unfortunate victim of alcoholism , who
drew almost his last breath in the
county jail , before being ordered to the
hospital , is a fair sample of such eases.
There was no doubt at the time that ho
ought to have bettor accommodations ,
but the ponuriousnossof certain oHIelals
would not permit of his being sooner 10-
moved to tlio hospital lest the county
should bo compelled to pay a few cents
a week for his support. At present ,
the system of caring for the sick is con
ducted in quito n hil-or-niisa man
ner , aad the principal ex
perience is borne by the hospitals.
If the city finds it impossible to shoulder
11 case upon the county , or the county
is unable to saddle a patient upon the
city , the case is bout to the hospital ,
wli'ere the ladies are allowed the miser
able pittance of i" a week treating such
case , including board , medicine , medi
cal treatment , washing , etc.
It is really nothing short of an imposi
tion on the ladies of the W. U. A. , or
the Sisteis of Mercy , at St. Bernard Vi ,
as the amount allowed does not begin to
pay actual expenses. Added to thc o
are those which are necessarily charity
eases , and it may bo readily seen that it
l very unjust to ask the hospitals to
treat thcbo cases for any such amount.
Neither the city nor county have any
hospital for the treatment of their bick.
This being the cabc , it certainly bcoms
as if the charity hospitals now operated
bore by these noble women should bo
given inore liberal encouragement by
the ollieials. and decent rates paid for
the care of the city and county sick.
Private eiti/.ens have contributed very
liberally to the support , and their actions
'
tions in' this respect are in striking con
trast to the olosc-Iisted policy of tlio
olficials. A change in this particular
would beery creditable to the county.

The Squire-Unwey Wedding.
Mr. E. L. Squire has returned from
the east with his bride. They are
heartily welcomed by friends on both
bides of the river , who will be interested
in reading the following details ol the
happy event , as given by the Argus and
Patriot , of Montpelier , Vt. :
Ernest Lungdon Squire , of Omaha ,
Nob. , and Kate , youngest daughter of
Hon. and Mrs. Charles Dewcvcro
married in Christ church last Thursday
evening , by Rev. Howard F. Hill , in
the presence of a largo assemblage of
the relatives and friond.s.
"With several charming additions , the
church were its Christmas decorations.
Wreaths of overgieon were hung upon
each pillar , and a bunch of Ihubumo was
tied at the entrance of each pew. An
arch of evergreens spanned the approach
to the center aiblo , and nt the on truiruo to
the chancel was a rood screen , with
sprays of narcissus charmingly intor-
bporscd , and depending from the cen
ter n largo marriage boll , with a cnlla
lily for a tongue. On the pulpit was u
choice boquot. Master Julius Kdward
Dewey , cousin of the bride , took charge
of tlio ribbons which admitted the rela
tives and invited guests to seats espec
ially reserved for thorn ,
For the fifth time in his life Horace
II. Scribnor took his place at the organ
to play for a wedding in the Dewey
family , and as the joyful tones of the
wedding march from "Lohengrin"
sounded , the church doors were thrown
back and the bridal party entered.
'
First came the ushers in cou'ples Fred
McCuon and E. E. Blakoly , .1. G.
Brown ana Harry M. Culler , C , Hubert
and George P. Dewoy. Next came the
bride , loaning on the arm of her father ,
followed by Mrs. Dewey and the
groom , the Uifat four entering the
chancel.
As the beautiful Episcopal marriage
service progressed , Mr. Seribnor played
softly Mendelssohn's "LlcdorOhnoWor-
tor , " and when the last words had been
spoken and the twain made ono passed
down the aiblo , the triumphant notes of
Mendolbbohn's wadding march pealed
forth , and the church doors closed on us
happy a pair at over pasted through its
portals.
The bride were a cream faille fran-
caise , trimmed with duchcsso lace and
pearls , with tlfo customary bridal veil
and orange blossoms. Shu wore witin
slippers and carried a bouquet of white
roses. The diamonds that glittered in
the toilet were the gift of the groom.
Mrs , Dewey was attired in a lavender
faille francaiso , trimmed in duchosso
lace.

After the ceremony a reception was
hold at the homo of the bride , for tlio
family and a few intimate friends , after
which Mr. and Mrb. Squire loft on the
midnight train for a bhort wedding trip.
They returned last Monday for-n stop of
a few days , after which they leave for
their future homo in Omaha.
Words cannot do justice to the wed
ding presents. The writer has re
ported many weddings , and looked upon
many arrays of beautiful and costly
gifts , but hu does not recollect having
seen a dibplay that equaled this ono
in beauty , extent or intrinsic
worth. It comprised silverware ,
bronzes , diamonds , engravings , etch
ings , books , lloyal Worcester ,
Dresden and Moorish ware , and an ex
quisite rose-cameo vase , bank cheeks ,
and a four leaved clover from an elderly
lady , which was ono of the most prized
offerings in the collection , Hearty con
gratulations came from far and near , to
bq treasured as pleasant reminders of
friends who were unable to bo present.
One , a beautifully worded letter from
an aged lady , wh'ich bespoke aflection-
atoly of the louihlc qualities of the
bride , and deplored ( if ono may use the
wore ] ) the happy fate that removed her
from a circle in which she was so wni inly
welcome , but spoke the sentimontof the
writers of all epistles , and told that
Miss Kate , though lost to sight , was to
memory dear.

The annual showing of the public
library is interesting in some respects.
The total expenditures were } 'J,18'J , of

ceding year there was a cash balance of

There were ( ! ( i books purchased , and
four volumes presented. The number
of volumes presented does not speak
very highly for the generosity of the
people in tills respect.
The number of book-takers has boon
increased from 2,100 to 2,1 ll' . The
number of books taken has also in
creased , the number in 1.S87 being

moans have been reserved from this
year's fund to moot the expenses of re

is in good condition and is serving the
public more acceptably each year.The
management has been judicious and
rather conservative , and the people
can not but fool that their money is
being wiselj bundled.
1 lie lionrd of Trade.
The annual meeting of the board of
trade was hold last evening. In the ab
sence of President Wells , Mr. F. II.

XJie Speedy Hose Team.
This evening the grand masquerade
ball of the Rescue hose company will
be given at the Masonic Temple. There
will undoubtedly be the largest nttond-
anco of any ball this season. Nearly
four hundred tickets have already been
sold. The moiioy netted from this en
tertainment will bo applied toward
purchasing a racing cart and equipping
the team for the coming tournament.
It is now intended that the company
hhnll visit Denver in August , to attend
a tournament in that city , as the Den
ver team will come hero in Juno.
The Rescue team will compote for the
stale championship , and will also onlor
in the free-for-all race. The team-will
not enter in any of the slow races , aw
previous records are quito fast. It is
the intention of the managers to thor
oughly equip a team , and put one on
the truck which will keep up the repu
tation of all teams of former years.
The public is subscribing very liberally
1o assist the company , and it will doubt
less make a highly creditable appear
ance.
W ! H It Hobbery ?
The case of It. M. Collins was called
before Judge Aylcsworth yesterday ,
and occupied the entire afternoon. He
was charged with larceny from the per
son. The trial occupied the on tire
afternoon. The "row" turned out on
masse to give evidence in the caso.
Collins has not a very enviable reputa
tion and does not stand very well with
the police. Ho is alleged to have re
lieved a drunken rounder of his roll ,
amounting to $115. The court reserved
his decision until 10 o'clock this morn
ing , the case having been submitted
without argument at 0 o'clock. In dis
posing of the matter for the night the
judge considered the advisability of
putting Claycomb , the prosecuting wit
ness , under arrest for the night , for
fear that ho would not appear this
morning if the foolkillor happened to
pass around during the night. The
sporting element is mnking quite an
effort to save Collins from the peniten
tiary , but the success of their labors is
very doubtful ,

however , coald bo assigned , on thls.theory ,
for the falluro of the chief , Dave Walker ,
and his son , Hill , to escape with the others ,
as they surely were objects of creator inter
est to their comrades than weio John and
Wiley Matthews. Besides , theio had been
no nightly passing of bands of hoi semen as
In Ihe old Hald Knobber days. Slowly the
belief gained ground that the Knobbcis had
nothnii ; to do with the Jail breaking at till ,
but that ftieads of the train thieves wuie
the guilty parties.
This belief has been changed into absolute
conviction by the cnouinstaaces attending
thu txcaptuio of John Matthews on the night
of thoillst.
His story is as follows : That ho knew
nothing at all of the breaking into thu Jail ,
so silently had the woi k been pcrformoil ,
until ho was rnut-hlr , shaken and told to
"Get up and get oat of 1'crc. " Tliis order
ho lost no time in obeying , and found theio
were tlirou sttangii men in the Jail , one of
whom carried a dark lantern. As sooa as
thu iirlsoneis were diessrd they began to
ci awl out of the hole whioh had been cut ,
only eight and ono-luiU-inchcs in width and
lifted ! inches long. The leader of the Jail-
bicakurs was a largo man who could barely
squec/o through , and John Matthews had
grown so fat on Sheriff Johnson's good faro
that ho stuck fast in the hole and had to be
pulled by these outside and vigorously
pushed bi his companions inside. Once out
side the jull , says Matthews , the men all
siMttoied , and ho soon found himself alone
in the darkness. Unfoi Innately for him , ho
stumbled into u ditch and slightly
sprained ono auklc However , liu
made his way aetoss Holds and
through woods until about daylight ,
when ho concealed himself in a thick fallen
tree top , thinking he was about live miles
Boutli of Oiark , when in reality lie was onlv
ono and one-half miles fiom U/.u-t ! r.oi
nearer west than south. In this tree-top
Matthews was discovered that afternoon by
some boys hunting rabbits , to whom Mat
thews said ho had hidden there to scat o thorn
and have somu fun. After telling thu hn\s
his 11.11110 was Hill Owens train Stone county ,
ho limped oil into the woods. HH eontlne-
inoiit of neatly two jcais had unfitted him
for CM'ition , and dm ing the lirst half of the
next night hn onli tiaveled about four miles ,
but thought lie was near Sparta , ten miles
fuithuron. At 1 o'clock on the inoimng of
the ! > 0th hu wus sutTciiiig so much from cold
and liungei that hu iiskcd calling at a tarm
house lor food and shelter. The fanner
is .lames Collins , an ex-sheiilf of the
count\ , , who liindij icspomled to the mil
from tlio iiclouded ) laboicr seeking work ,
gave him food and a bed and bicakfast , and
directed him on Ins v.-a'y to Miller's. About
an hour after ho was gone Collins ramo to
the conclusion that his midnight visitor was
John Matthew , and pioeuring assistance ho
followed the man's trail , soon discovering
tnat ho had left the load and taken to the
woods. A vigoious scaich was kept up in
the woods all day without success , and about
p.m. , as Collins wns leturning homcjiu mot
in the daikntMs a 111,111 who mquiicd the way
to Miller's. Collins recognised the voice as
that of his strange guest , and bringing down
his shot-gun commanded : "Handsup. " Mat
thews ollered no icsistaucc , and proved to
be entirely unaimcd , lie had been hidden
that dnv in a stack of corn fodder not half a
imlo fro'n Collins' . Matthews was ut-
teily Inoken down when cap-
tilled , and cried in a way quite un
befitting i stern Hald Knobber. Exposuie
,1iut unusual exertion had mndo him ically
sick , and his courage , never very gicat , was
tittei ly gone. Collins kept him that night at
tlio house of James l egan , near the place of
his capture. Matthews begged the puvilego
ot reading the bible and pruning , which
beliii ; granted linn , ho made quito an affect
ing SLono. praying , crying and declaring ho
had but u few more days to live. Ho is sen
tenced ts hang February 15. Collins brought
his prisoner thu next morning to the jail that
had so long confined him.
Tlio blundcnng attempts of John Mat-
thaws to escape , unaided , oflcctually dis
proves the theory that the Knobbers planned
and executed the release. Since the killing
of the great chief and fountain head of the
"Hald Knobbers , Captain Nat ICinnoy ,
no ono has doubted , save during the Kite
scare , that the organization is entirely dis
banded and that the misguided members ,
convinced of the on or of their ways , are
Just as law abiding as any other clti/cns
Several times during the last two .years
some sensational ropoitcr , with an utter dis
regard of facts , lias icvivcd the order and
ropicscntcil nmnj of our people hi a state of
outlawry. The simple Until is , that there
cannot bo found a man who over was a
Knobber who docs not with shaino icgiot
th'o fact. Your correspondent has naver seen
a people inoio peaceful and hospitable than
the people of Clinstian county.
