Van Cott ana William M. Thompson , who have conducted n Jewelry business under the fityloof D. W. Van Cott ft Co , In this city , for n few years past , Saturday evening , upon his return from ton , Mr. Van Cott found that a petition had been filed in the district court by Mr. Thomp- Ron , praying tor the appointment of n re ceiver. As Mr. Van Colt had , on Iho ailn ult. , purchased the Interest of Mr. Thomp son In the store , mid held n bill of sale for it , ho was at n total loss at first to understand the proceedings. Mr. Van Cott went ntonco to Mr , 'Ihompson's attorney to inquire the causa and to learn why n petition of so grave a nature had been filed , especially nt so Into an hour , after the business of the day had practically ceased. Ho found that Judge Uoano had , nt his residence , given an order for n temporary receiver. The attor ney said that a settlement could bo easily effected by meeting him nt his ofllco at 8 p , in. It was hero learned that Mr. Thompson had presented at the b.ink for payment , con trary to agreement , n memorandum check for f-JX ( ) . The check was dcstgnntcd as a due bill , to bo presented nt the store for pa\mont , The check the h.mk naturally refused toc.ish. Mr. Thompson nt the same time presented another check of Van Colt's , which was paid , according to contract. These notes nnd checks given In payment for Thompson's in terest in the slock were m.ulo lo him person ally , so that they could not bo negotiated. Mr. Van Cott , with his attorney , called on ilutlca Uoano at his residence and explained the case fully , which had been grossly mis represented to his honor. The Judge said ho granted the order on the strength of the statement that Mr. Van Cott had stopped payment on Iho clieok. The Judge added that , Inid ho known the naluro of the check the cider would not have been grunted. Thompson's attoinoy w.is ujjain seen , and upon his request si certified check for the sum of SJOU was given , and ho thereupon is sued an order to have Mr , Van Cott put in possession of his business forllnvilh , which was done. Mr. Van Colt then wont to the residence of Mr. Thompson for an explanation and a re traction of the fraudulent nllug.itlons in the petitions , but was told by Mrs. Thompson Ibat ho was not to bo 8en. . Air. Van Cott called again upon Thompson's nUoincy for a retraction , which was cheerfully made , the latter stating that Mr. Thompson had boon paid lu full of all demands , and that Hie charges in the petition \vcic wilhoul founda tion , and that the following morning ho would have Thompson make the amende honorable. The attorney had not seen Thompson since Iho proceedings were had. The attorney had me.ultimo examined Iho books of account in the store , which satislied him lhat Iho statements made by Thompson wen ) incoriect , and lie so stated the fact. The books showed that the entries had been made by Thompson , which disproved his al legation that Mr. Van Cott had kept the Books In n way to defraud Thompson. Mr. Van Cott states that "when the part nership was made it was uirrced lhat Thompson was to put his share into the busi ness in cash , but instead ho lulled to meet his piomisos , time nflor time , only paying a small portion nnd giving his notes for Iho balance. He constantly -pretended that ho had securities that hu was about rcali/ing on , and the money would bo forthcoming. I furnished all the money to run the busi ness , " continued Air. Van Cott , "for the fol lowing six months , and then 1 insisted upon a settlement. It was agreed that 1 should receive all the monies duo the firm and pay all the liabilities , until such a time as a com plete settlement bo inado by Thompson and lie should furnish the money as agreed. At this time , m checking up the debits and credits , Thompson found th.it I had paid $ , IS1.01 in excess of my receipts and ho thereupon gave me another nolo for Hull amount , SIIMIII making promises that , the money would bo forthcoming soon. His successive failures to meet these promises , coupled with the fact of his admission to mo , when I questioned him closely concerning monies paid him , that he had collected and failed to account for , led mo to force him tea a settlement and dissolution at once. I ac cented his proposition for settlement In the presence of witnesses , paying him $1,100 and surrendering to him his demand notes lo Iho amount of 4-J.WiS.77. "There is another thing I want to add in this connection. When Thompson entered partnership with me ho was to pay for the , half interest in cash on November " 3 , lfcS7. At that time he owed mo for diamonds purchased to the amount of J345. When the time came for him to pay over the money for a half interest in the business , ho failed to put in an appearance , but a message was received by mo from him ut Chicago , asking me to wire him ? 20J to bo made payable without identification. Ho ox-M plained thai ho had unexpectedly got mar ried to Mrs. L. Knapp Hurchard , of Brook lyn , and asked mo to publish the announce ment in the Omaha papers. I immediately wired him the money with blessings and con gratulations , and wrote him to return as Boon as possible to fulfill his agreements. On his return ho borrowed $ ! 00 additional and look up quarters ut the Millard hotel. I protested against his extravnganco uud advised him to accept the homo that Ins father had tendered him , but ho objected to living in such modvst quarters. I have been living In this house at a rental of $85 per month. It is the house which ho Induced his father to double mortgage to gratify the sou's luxu rious tastes , Thompson all the while repre senting to his father that the proceeds of the thrco mortgages , nmounling to SS.CUJ , had been invested in the business. Thompson , in his petition , alleges that 1m had invested less than 1,000 in the business , and his ac count , In his own hand writing , nud vouchers shows that I have paid him over $4,000. "I found upon Inquiry at IheFirslNalional bank and the Millard hotel that there was an Indebtedness hanging over Thompson of over * bOO on uersouul account , and I could not afford lo Jeopardize my business for per sonal luxuries. " Mr. Van Colt will continue the business without the assistance of the company.

Taylor , ono of the most prominent politicians lu liuffalo county , spent Sunday with Omaha fi lends , and never having been hero bofora on the day of rest , was ralhcr surprised lo sco so much stir among the people. Mr. Taylor icsidcs nt Uavcnna , an enterprising and wida-awako town of 1,000 inhabitunl , Unit aspires to bo the capital of a new county now bolng agitated and asked for by people living along the dividing Una .between liuffalo nnd Sherman counties. In couvmsulion with n UKB reporter , ho said : "A now county Is the question in which we are moro deeply In terested Just now than any thing clbO. Bo far us prohibition canccim us it Is my opinion that HiuT.Uo county will , when the time to vote U'jmes , give a good sized majority ngnlnst It. A large portion of the population is made up of foruljun citizens , chiefly Ccraians , and you know they huyo very little sympathy with anything savoring of sumptuary legislation. All thu towns anil especially Kcarioy , will , in my Judgment , veto solidly for high llco.iso. Although my homo is so near the Hue of Khornun cuunly and my business relations there almost as great us in HufTalo. 1 can hardly say now thai county would decide on Iho question. As I staled before , we are so deeply engrossed in the advocacy of anew now country that neither prohibition , election contests nor anything clso attracts our attention , " Kefprrinp to this nil absorbing proposition , after inquiries for Information , Mr , | Taylor a.\plnln < * d briefly that they expected to take n strip twelve miles wide , two tiers of town ships off the north end of J.Hiffulo county and adit It to a lllce area from the south end of Sherman , which will make n new organiza tion twenty-four miles nt width by tUirty-six miles In fcngtli and have Kuvcnin centrally enouL'h located to bo mudo the county sent.

Shortly before So'clock last night the sta bles In the rear of the Consolidated Tank Line company were discovered to bo on lire , nnd , although the brigade responded promptly , they were too Into to save the live stock. Six mules and ono horse wcro suffocated , and must have been before the nlarm sounded. Some had fallen lu the stalls ns they stood , but the others , in their struggles , had broken from their fastenings. Five of the animals were owned by C. D. Woodward nnd valued ut $7oO , while the other team was the property of the McClurg Cracker company nud worth about ? . ! OU. The stable contained about eight tons of hay , forty bushels of corn and a quantity ol oats , all of which will prove an almost tolal loss. There was also about 813) worth of harness destroyed , and the building ilself was damaged lo the exlent of several hundred dollars. Fortunately the oil tanks which generally stand in the vicinity had been removed , or the consequences would have bi-en much moro serious. The stable is of brick and owned by A. II. Uishop , of Iho Consolidated Tank company , who had rented it to C. D. Woodward. He sub-let Iwo slalls lo Iho McClurg Cracker company , and Iho whole was in charge of Henry Khoads , who roomed in the upper btor.v of the stable.

At the I'irst Presbyterian church last nlclit the Hov. W. J..llarshn delivered a ser mon to bank clerks nnd bookkeepers. "A book Is one ofitho conserratlx-o things of the world , " said ho. "When once It is written nnd printed nnd bound , there It Is , a thing U ) stand llko -stone In the path of waves.

I want to talk to you a litllo while because you spend your lives over account books and columns of figures.ott know what n trial balance is , and 1 nm going to try to draw ono off for you. You appreciate the value of mo ments during thu month , and the Importance of keeping up your work day by day , that you may not bo found wanting nt the begin ning of the noM month. I want to urge you to use well the momenta of life that when the 'uooks are opened' In eternity you may not bo ashamed of the condition they arc iu. Charles Dickens had a great pity for clerks nnd accountants. You see it ever\ where in his writings , and It was because ho had to toll hksomely tit tlgures when ho was young. 1 cannot describe your work nnd hardships us eloquently ns ho docs , but 1 have Just ns much Interest In you ns ho had. Men iu nil nges have wanted to have n clear and con cise statement of their pecuniary affairs , and this Is whatbook-kcceplnglsdcllncd ns aim ing nt. The system in general use is willed , ns you know , the Italian method from the country in which It was reduced to perfection. Hut double entry was known to the Homans nnd to the Assyrians. The Homans had on ono side of their books n word which meant 'to give , ' and on the other a word which meant 'to havo,1 and jou can easily see where the debit mid credit came in. The early English words were 'debltour1 and 'crcditour. ' 1 want to recall to your minds the fact that God keeps tin account with every man. Ho has given you n body ami is charging up against you every excess you commit. Young men are very apt to ovetdraw their physical strength , and to try lo patch up Iho defi ciency with whisky or tobacco. It is a bad thing to have your balance hero in red. Then God is keening account with you as to your treatment of your follow men. Ho keeps an account with you as to the ten commandments. You know what they arc. How does your record sland ns lo Idola- Iry , blasphemy , haired , ndullory , and i our obedience to .your pnrentst In the second place. 1 want to tell you of the books in which these accounts nre kept. Memory is one of them. This may bo called Iho day book. On the tablet of memory is written down every act you do , every thought you harbor , every word you speak. Conscience is another book. This may bo called the journal. What a fearful state ment of how our various accounts with God stand does the conscience present ! Influ ence Is the third book. It is the ledger. When once our deeds have been drawn ofT to this book , there is n record made Umt will forever stand. The great balance ift eternity will be taken from the book of influence. The lives wo have soured or blessed , the hearls we have blackened or soothed , the souls wo have saved or ( ininued will bo present at the judgment , anil from our own influence ns thus shown will the llnal awara bo made. "The third thought I want you to carry away with you is that the day is.coining when these books shall bo opened. For a little while you can keep memory to yourself. You can make it a sealed book on earth and no one can look into it. You wouldn't like to have your best friend inspect it. You shudder when jou see Its ghastly pages yourself. But the day is coming when the books will bo opened. Memory all unclasped 1 Con science with all its hideous record laid bare ! Influence fully disclosed 1 This shall take place before the throne of Christ the judge. Angels shall be the busy nndofllcious scribes to open them. What will you do then ! Let mo say this. Christ will draw from his in ( in ito love nndjnerit enough to balance your account and make it nil stralchl. If you accept him , and Jove him , and live for him , you will "llnd whau the books nro opened the word saved writlcn across then ! iu the blood of your Redeemer. Moro than that , you will find your name writlen In the index book of life , and you shall enter with joy into the eternal habitation. This AVimi'tin Omaha.
