LINCOLN , Neb. , Fob. 5. [ Special to THE
Bni : . ] Mr. Colenran of Polk has introduced
a joint resolution to congress reciting the
nbusos in watering stock nnd piling up llctl-
tlous debts , as practiced by railroad man
agers , and closing with a rojoliitluu request
ing congress to enact stringent law.i regulat
ing the issuing of railroad stock , prohibiting
and mnkitig it a crlmo to issue any stock ,
bonds or other railroad securities unless each
contains a certified abstract giving the
amount of stock and indebtedness par mile ,
gross receipts nnd nil other data that Is given
in the reports. Also a statement , under oath ,
that none of the stock or bonds have been
Issued in violation of law. Tlio resolution
went over and will bo called up In u few
days.

LINCOLN , Neb. , Feb. 5. [ Special to Tnu
Br.B.J No normal school bills have been in
troduced in the senate , but Senator Kocho
may put in ono as soon as the owners of an
academy at Noligh decide whether or not
they will donate their buildings.
The management of the soldiers' homo nt
Grand Island are criticized by some of the
visiting committee for appropriating the
entire front 01 the building while tlio old
soldiers are relocated to rear rooms.
Senator Koblnso'll , of Hartington , was ex
cused from attendance to-day.
The submissionists don't know whether
they are "out of the woods" or not. The
double-barreled amendment may yet be
"loaded" and they are handling it "with
care. " What if both amendments should bo
adopted } Is the query which fairly paralyzes
the whole prohibition crowd. Cady thinka
that no ono can vote for both amendments ,
but Olmstead and others contend that they
nro two B'-parato propositions , and anyone
may vote for either or botii or not ut all on
the question.
The opening hours of the session were
rather slunly attended to-day. Fully twenty
members failed to make connection with the
morningtrains. .

comply at once with the decision of Judge

Stntos district court on Saturday , February
a , Wo shall iriut schedules without delay ,
imd shall refund any overcharges slnco
the tiling of the decision. There
has been disposition In some
quurtCH to criticize the ) managers bocnuso
they Inivo foil it to bn thotr duty to the
owners of the property to uslt the courts to
expound the statute. But 1 urn satisfied tlili
has gro\tti out of u misunderstanding of the
situation , It scorns to us not only proper ,
but of the most serious importance to the
state , as well as to the railroads , that the
law In u mutter of such very great import-
unco to all of us should bo interpreted by the
hlirhost tribunals. Tim present railroad law
in this stuto affects a great many millions of
dollars worth of property , honestly invested ,
and as much entitled to be protected as
property of any other character. T.'ho people
of tlio state uro themselves owners of mop-
erty , and know that they cannot strike a
blow at the railroads without affecting
till values. I have lived thirty
years in Iowa , and while I know it
is not the desire or intention of the people
to deal unjustly with the railroads , or to
make laws likely to prevent capital from
coming here , not only for railroad construc
tion but lor improvements of various kinds ,
1 know also that the subject of railroad
transportation is un intricate and diftloult
one , and that few persons have boon able to
give it sufllciont consideration to understand ,
as wo do , the very serious nature of the con
troversy which has boon going on. Wo un
derstand the effect of Judge Urewcr's de
cision to , bu that the hut sched
ule fixed by the commissioners should
bo complied with by the railroads , pending
further hearing in the courts , unp , while wo
hasten to uet accordingly , wo desire to ex
press the conviction that the rates estab

may have the eo-uporatioii of the commis
sioners iu the further hearing und the final
mid satisfactory settlement of the whole

I haven't. I don't believe I have an

t think this charming woman might
write a charming book. There ia a
fascinating unproloniousness about her

without success. Jlis father Is eighty
years of ago and his mother a few years

exception of a cut.
"You ought lo sue that oat , " said Mr.
Lorch. "It's as big aa a dog , and is the

A joyful reunion of a brother and sis
ter after a soparatJ6fl of nine years oc
curred at the residence of Mr. James II.
Smith , clerk of the "probate court , at
at 2121 Woodland pvenue Thursday ,
says the Kansas ( , 'ity Times : Nine years
ago Samuel W. . [ Harris , a brother of
Mrs Smith , then a boy twenty years
old , left his home htjro and wont west to
seek his fortune' . He has been a cow
boy in Colorado ! lid ) Texas , a gold dig-
go'rin Idaho and' Montana , and has
wandered from Manitoba to Mexico in
search of wealth ; Having acquired in
his long search ivdiaudsome competence
bo returned to thtjhome of his youth ,
and hunting niV'hls only sister made
himself known to her. She had looked
upon him as dead as no vijord hud been
received , nnd her joy at meeting him
was unbounded.
U'liero He Had tliu Advantage ,
Chicago Tribune : "One advantage
I have over you , Smithkins , " said Jen
kyns , the society reporter , "is that I
have nothintr but facts to deal with ,
while you have to draw on your im
agination. I presume , now , I can write
ten or fifteen columns of society doings
while you are writing n column of one
of your magazine stories. You have to
do all your work out of your own head ,
you know. "
The magazine contributor absently
picked up Jenkyns' hat alzo six and
one-quarter and looked into it. Then
be laid it Jown.
"I think you are right , Jenkyns , "
he mused. ' "You are fortunate , indeed ,
in never being required to do any work
out of your own head. "

St. Louis Post-Dispatch : It was night.
The wind was playing n fugue in

Bismarck were seated in front of a

hung from the premier's huge mus-

emptied. William pulled the cotton

Antecedents ofnn
It is well known that Uon Hognn
has had a stormy anil sensational
career , says tlio Oil City Dot-rick ,
nml to obtain some now points in regard
to his eventful lifo , the Derrick has hail
a brief chat with tlio once bail man ami
present evangelist.
" 1 was born in Uerne , Switzerland , "
said Mr. Ungnn , "in ISI'J , whore my
father null mother also were born. I
was raised in Whlttenborg , Germany ,
until I was eleven years old , and then
came to this country with my father. 1
was brought up in the densest ignor
ance ; was what you call a wharf rat ,
surrounded day and night with de
bauchery and crime. I never wont to
school , hardly know there was Hiteh n
thing , and I was nearly forty years old
before L could either read or write so
much as my own name. At the ago of
thirteen 1 shipped on a bailing vessel
and wont to sea , whore I was for throe
years and a half. During this time 1
wont to Havre , do Grace , France.
' 'Before the war I left Charleston ,
anil w'ith six other characters as tough
as myself , wo bought a small vessel and
entered upon the business of
IlUlllttXU AXI ) ri.L'MMiltlNU ON
TIIK SUAS.
I was in this business for two years , and
at the end of tlmt time my share of the
spoils was iMUOOU. Some time after this
seventeen of us formed a pool and
bought n larger vessel with which to
run the blockade at Charleston. Our
cargo was whisky , tobacco , quinine and
such things as could bo readily disposed
of to the soldiers. We ran the block
ade and sold our supplies to General
Ueauregard's army. When we got
through with this business wo had $75-
0011 in gold and silver and about $11,000-
000 in confederate money. In endea
voring to get the boat out of the harbor
on our last trip wo were pounced upon
by four United States vos.-els , well
manned and armed. The blue coats
boarded our vessel and then began a
hand to hand fight with handspikes ,
hatchets , and whatever wo could get
hold of. Wo wore largely outnum
bered , and our crow wore falling on
every side. Three of us jumped over
board , and not being far out at sea. we
swam ashore , and as far as 1 eould over
learn the rest of our crow of seventeen
were killed or taken prisoners. As it
happened the three of us who jumped
overboard were the custodians of a
largo part of the money , and this wo
divided. I took my share cf the con
federate money and went to Canada to
sell it , the tiunadians at that time be
lieving it was pretty near as good as
their own money. I sold It at Montreal ,
Toronto and Kingstown , reali/.ing 'M
cents on the dollar.
A itomiKi : nouiiKn.
"Coining buck from Kingston I had a
strange experience. A New York
crook , disguised as a woman , got after
mo and made desperate love. I got sea
sick on the vessel , and this attentive
female took earo of me. and in the
meantime wont through mo for about
$10,000. When I got to Now York my
old cronies there had the laugh ou mo
for the way 1 hud been taken in. This
blockade enterprise , after deducting all
expenses , including loss of the boat ,
netted mo $100.000.
' In Naslivlllo I worked as a spy and
general detective for General Miller
and Provost Marshal Hrooksof Cincin
nati. I nail a permit to go where I
pleased on the railroad and I carried on
1 big stroke of business for myself and
mother person or two I hat I do not care
Lo name. I had an arrangement whereby
[ received 81.400 for every soldier I
would enlist in the United States army.
[ enlisted a great many , most of whom
wore already soldiers , but this made no
difference. I gave each recruit $100 and
cpt $1,000 myself. I made at this busi
ness us high aa $10,000 a week , and right
ilong averaged 810,000 a month. This
noney went about as easy as it came. I
, vas on a train that was hold up by
Mosby's guerrillas and robbed of a large
sum and a lot of valuable jewelry and
diamonds that I had invested in.
"Under the leadership of Jim Col
bert , a noted Now York burglar and
crook , now dead , who leapt n resort op
posite Harry Hill's , a band of forty of
us were engaged in bounty jumping.
We wore
KNOWN" AS THU 'KOHTV TIIII5VKS. '
I took thirty-six bountiobiilUOO each.
The man who jumped his bounty and
got back first to headquarters received
a cash premium nxtra. These bounty-
jumpers took desperate chances in es
caping from the soldiers , who were not
slow to use their muskets. I had deserted -
sorted so often that in Washington city
I was sentenced with some others to bo
shot. My father was then alive , and
ho made 'a great ell'ort to save my lifo ,
although I had no hope that ho would
succeed. The culprits had been led out
and wo wore sitting on our cofllns wait
ing for the order of execution , when
Lincoln pardoned me. It happened
that my father had known Lincoln per
sonally , and through his intervention
my li'fn was saved. That was close
enough for mo , and I quit the bounty-
jumping business.
HIS VI ItST SHOOTING HOKAI'K.
"The first shooting scrape 1 was over
in. was in Now Orleans , before the war.
There was a southern man there who
said ho could whip any man in Now
Orleans , who had come from the north.
I don't think ho intended to include
mo , as there was nothing in my German
accent to indicate that 1 had
como recently from the north.
Hut wo retired to * a favorable
place and had it out. It wasn't
thought much of an ofTonse at that time
to kill a northern man. anil the evident
intention of this follow was to kill me.
At all oventa , ho got out his revolver
during the light and fired nt _ mo. I
took the pistol away from him and shot
him , though not fatally. I got away
from Now Orleans aa soon after tlmt as
possible.
"My next shooting scrape was at Mo
bile , where a gang o ( sports tried to rob
me at a game of curds. I saw-them put
up a hand on me. I had $300 on the
table , and when I objected , ono follow
saidrj"D - il you , you've got to stand
it , " and in the Bcutllo that followed
he shot at mo , but instead of hitting
mo , t > hot his partner in tlio arm. I got
my money all ritrht , und then wo had a
general molco , in which wo used the
butts of our revolvers on each other. 1
was always u pretty good hand at a rough
find tumble , and got away with u , whole
bkln.
JIHN CIOKS TO OII.nOM.
1 "J arrived at Pitholo during the great
oil o < ccitomon-th | < > ro , and huu a stormy
time of it. A man known as * SUna-
house Jack' was thu louder of u gang of
touch ucowlo .whoso special object i
Boomed to bo to got mo out of the way.
Their throats to kill mo were frequent ,
nnd several times thovallompcdlo make
these threats good. Those follows were
thloves and footpads , nnd I had
the permission of the Iturgcss to
run them out of town if ftf
could , 'Stone-house .luck' shot at mo
once , and tlio next day 1 met him in a
saloon opposite the Chase house and
struck him in the nock with the butt of
a pistol , Some of the gang left town ,
but the others remained. At IMtholo a
light was arranged between mo nnd
Jack Halllday. The fight cnmo oil at
Hall town , and the crowd was pretty
much all on horseback. Tlio tough
gang was there ( o do mo tip , but the
business men were on my side and kept
the 'Stono-houso Jack' crowd down with
pistols while the light went on. I thinU
wo fought seven rounds when Ilnllidny
failed lo como to tlmo , and I was de
clared the winner. I wa * seconded by
illm Klliot , who was killed n few years
ago in Chieairo by .lore Dunn. After
the light Elliot challenged mo , and wo
fought the next day. There was a gen
eral shooting match around the ring ,
and the light could not proceed. The
loughs were arrested and fined $ ij each ,
Klliot among the number.
From IMtholo 1" went to llabylon , in
the Tidloute Held , and that 1 think was
the
TOrOIIKST TOWN I UVI5U (1OT INTO.
There was an organized baud of high
waymen in that country and they fre
quently attempted lo clean out my place.
One night a party of the-n made' dash
to go through mo and I had a
light with them. There was a
number of shots llrod on both
sidi's. Four of the gang were shot
and one killed. They stole $700 , a gold
watch and some diamonds. 1 was ar
rested the next morning. Sunday , on
the charge of murder. Tlio olllcor who
arrested mo was Mr. Scott , who I think
still lives in Tldionlo. 1 was acquitted
on the ground of self-defense. At Baby
lon I was malting $ . ' 10(1 ( a day.
From the old country 1 went lo Sara
toga and opened a gambling house , pay
ing $110,000 for my place. 1 was getting
along quite well when French ICuto , or
Kate l.o Connie , made IHM- appearance
on the scene. This woman was once
married to a French count. She owned
property in No\v Orleans worth $3(10,011(1 ( (
and was rich besides this. I hud met
her in Washington City. 1 think , with
out doubt , she was

extraordinary degree , and she an
nounced her presence in Saratoga by
firing at me through the window. This
was a .pastime that my customers did
not enjoy and it broke up my business
n Saratoga. Went to Albany and

STOCKTON SAYS IT IS BOSH.
II IH Kcply to n Detroit. ] li > y'd Charge ol'
Frank M. Day , a graduate of the Do-
, roit High School , says a dispatch to
.lie New York World , staled that lie
.bought Frank Stockton 'a plagiarist.
! lc gave the result of his investigation
, o-niglit at the commencement eSer-
: iscs of the clnssof ' 80. llosnid : "About
.835 N. M. 1'riiod , an F.uglish lawyer
vnd poet of some ability , wrote * A
Question of Gravity , ' a story which was
very original and which attracted some
attention at the lime. It is noiv very
Peldoni road.
"About 1835. fifty years after the pub-
ication of 1'racd'H article , Frank
Stockton , one the most pleasing of our
migazino writers , wrote and published
what ho called 'A Tale of Negative
jravity , ' a story so closely resembling
.Vaed's article that I am really in doubt
vhich lo call it , a coincidence or n
plagiarism. Uotli made their heroes
otirod scientists who by much study
md labor succeeded in constructing a
nachiuo' to extract all gravity from
, heir bodies. This was at once the be-
rimiing of their trouble and of the
> oints of similarity in the stories.
"Both heroes were accused of insan-
ty , and both were enabled to pL-rform
vondorful feats as athletes because of
their lightness. Both jumped high in
the air and wore unable to got down
without assistance , and both finally be
came disgusted with their dangarous
invention and decided not to give the
public the rather doubtful benefit of it.
This is probably the only reason th.it
that the problem of flying has never
boon more successfully solved than by
Darius Green. " Stockton's story can
bo found in it book entitled " Encyclo
pedia of Good Literature , ' ' Vol. V.
A World reporter called on Mr. Stock
ton at his apartments in I ho Hotel
Albert and showed him the dispatch.
Mr. Stockton looked ju-.t a little bit
annoyed as ho said : ' 'That charge is
nothing but the most perfect loih. ) : In
the first place , I iicvcrhcard of the bonk
referred to and said to have bean writ
ten more than fifty yours ago ; but I am
not surprised to hear that there have
been other works similar to my book
respecting the use of 'negative grav
ity , " which is simply another term for
buoyancy. Stednian in his 'Air Ship"
published in Sr-ribncr , used il. bo have
hundreds of others and so will probably
hundreds moro , but I claim novelty and
originality for my story , just the name.
"It is a now story , and , as far as I
know , tlic idea of a man carrying with
him iu a small bag enough negative
gravity to elevate bin body is ne\vand HO
are the situations in which the man Hails
hlniHolf. Love is an old theme , n very
old ode , but every one who writes a love
story is not necessarily a plagiarist. "
