The April mooting of the board of univer
sity regents closed to-day. It was not marked ,
hoxvover , by any events of vcr.v proat inter
est. The work In hand was mostly routine ,
and had to do in the nialn with the disposi
tion of the departmental apportionments and
the finances of the Institution. Karly In the
nesilon It was decided to have the work on
tbo boiler houses commenced as soon as tho-
contract could bo lot to responsible ) con
tractors.
Hillings' resignation came up for consider
ation this morning. 'JL'horo was no vigorous
Kicking against accepting It. In fact the
board seemed Inclined to agree with the doc
tor that his day of usefulness as the head of
the patho-blologlcal laboratory had passed ,
nnd that it were better to severe relations
abruptly. His resignation was ncccptod
without n Blnglo sontlmontal tear , and on
July 1 hovlll step dowa and out.

A Bold CASO Reported nnil tlio Sup *
poiert Orlmlnnl Under Arrcs
The boldest cose of robbery that has
drawn the attention of the Omaha police
from their espionage of nnloon men
occurred at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. William Preston , a well-known
engineer , was In Kaufman's beer hall on
Douglas'street , near Thirteenth , when a
smooth-faced , light-lingered gentleman , ap
parently intoxicated , engaged him la con
versation a few minutes , and then loft him.
John Sldnor , a flrcman at No. 3 engine house ,
who was observing Mr. Preston , saw the
stranger grab the latter's pocketbook as ho
started out of the building. Ho at once gave
thoalarm.and two policeofllcers started In
pursuit. The thief sprang Into cab No. 17 ,
which was standing In front of the saloon ,
and pnvo the cabman orders to drive rapidly
to the Webster street station. Officers Cul-
leu and Vaughn gave pursuit and caught
their man nt Davenport street , and took him
to the police station. Ha gave his name as
Scot Gllham , and claimed to bo a printer by
trade. Ho was taken to Chief Scavoy's of
fice nnd searched , nnd $13 found in his pos
session. Mr. Preston nnd two other wit
nesses positively Identified the prisoner as
the man who committed the robbery. The
amount taken from Mr. Preston was 800. It
is supposed that Gllham secreted a part of
the money stolen by him before the ofllcors
effected his capture. Chief Senvoy ordered
him locked up under the charge of being a
"auspicious character. "

The Council Committee Kndoavorlng
to Aricertaiii the Cause.
The committoeo appointed , on a resolution
of Mr. ICospar , by the city council , to in
vestigate the charges preferred against Po
lice Ofllcors Shoopo , Ellis , Brauy and
McMahan , assembled with Mayor Hroatcb
aud Messrs. Hartman and Gilbert , of the
Uro and police commission , at the mayor's
ofllco at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
The committee consists of [ Caspar , chair
man , and Shrlvor , Davis.Lowry and Chaffco ,
the latter being absent.
The morning WAS consumed in talking
over tbo relative powers of the city council
and the board of fire and police commis
sioners.
Mayor Broatch hold that the council has
full nnd perfect right to enter into any in
vestigation it may deem proper , appertaining
to the municipal government ; but , when It
comes to the trial of a member of cither the
police or tire department , it has no jurisdic
tion whatever. "Tho commission , " contin
ued the mayor , "will do just what is right.
Wo do not want an oftlcor on ttio force who
overrides bis duties , and , if specific charges
are made against all such offenders and pre
sented to us , wo will rigidly investigate
them , and if they are sustained fire the of
fender without ceremony. "
Commissioner Hartman reiterated these
sentiments , nnd in conclusion said that
neither this committee , nor the council has
uny right to try these men ; they can investi
gate , but not try , aud present the result of
their work to the commission , who will act
in accoi dance with the evidence. If the
council has the right to try and discharge
men iu those departments , it could try and
discharge every man on the force , from
Chief Scavy down.
Mr. Broatch added that the now city char
ter confers exclusive jurisdiction upon the
board of commissioners' so far as the ap
pointment , discharge , suspension or disci
pllnlug of the police and firemen go , and , In
proof of this , sent to the city clerk's ofllco
for the certified copy of that document.
This was brought , and , after the particular
section referred to bud been read and re
read , the committee became convinced that
they wcro without jurisdiction in trying
these men , but still claimed the right to In
vestigate Into their action.
Iu this the mayor and commission concur
red , and the committee then adjourned until
3 o'clock ,
Mr. Knspar said that it was not the object
of thu committee to try and discharge any of
thcao ofllcers.but simply 10 gain bv n thorough
investigation , a knowledge of the general
workings of the department.
The four officers named are charged with
unfairly inducing certain saloon.ucopor.i Into
committing crime , by going to
their places In disguise , nnd on u
plea of sickness m their families , getting
them to soil them whisky ; also with using a
"pull" on several saloonkeepers whoso
place they will pass blindfolded , that Is , they
couldn't ' see a man In the place if the barroom -
room wj.s crowded. Also for unjust Unrests
nnd a general abuse of the duties aud pow
ers.
ers.In speaking of Officer McMnhun. or
"Soda Water , " as hi1 is dubbed , Councilman
Lowry grow very emphatic. He said that
on Sunday evening this ofllccr came out near
his place , corner nt Pacific aud Eighth
sircots , and not only arrested two young
boys of his neighbors , one the son of Joseph
Kent , upon some trivial complaint , but actu
ally put the lads in Irons and took them off to
the station In the patrol wagon. Tlio boys
were acquitted.
"If that had boon my boy , " said Mr.
Lowry , "it would have been mo or that boy.
fer I would have killed him before I would
have seen the Innocent boy dragged oft In
Irons. "
Mayor DioaUm and Commissioner H.trt-
umn thought this was a vcny uggiavated
case , and thn chief was iiptllluct to have Mo-
Muhan before the commission next Satur
day evening.
Mr , Kaspar said that the witnesses agalnsl
ofllcura above alluded to had boon subpoenaot
by thu committee , but they refused to come ,
ana ha supposed they bad boon fixed. They
are to bo again summoned before the com
mittee tila ! afternoon , and a the board , of
commissioners agrees with the committee , iu
somuch as their powers to investigate go
they will probably bo on hand. Tun funo
ttous of the council , Mr. Hro&tch said , u era
purely legislative and not executive ,
pin tlio afternoon the Investigating com
mittee met at 2 o'cloelc , bat again fulled to
get down to the business of taking tostl
mony , Mr. Chatfco , a member of the coin
miner , is ausonv from the city , and It was
decided to take un adjournment until his ra
turn on Monday. Councilman Ford Is see
ending the efforts of tno committee , and has
opuolutod himself a committed of one to
work up cyldcuuo a ulust the mouibora o
-ho - police force , who were engaged In m&k-
ng whisky informers out of themselves. Bo
s working on the theory that tlio saloon men
nro not breaking the Sunday order very
Rcrlously when a policeman has to go dls-
rulsod as n working man a very unnatural
llsiruiso , too , ho thinks , for a policeman to
assume nnd beg for whl ky to uavo his sick
vife's life , in order to catch a saloon man
> reaking the law. It having been decided
hat the committee has authority to summon
witnesses to appear before it nnd glvo ovl-
den oo in the matters up for investigation ,
> lnnk subpoenas have been printed for the
occasion , and will bo served by Sorgoant-at-
inns Butler upon the witnesses desired for
the Investigation on Monday.
Chief of Police Seavoy says ho has not
> con officially notified of the Investigation ,
ind does not presume to know what object
the committee hopes to attain.

The Soldier JUonta the Hundred Mlle
Ilccnrd.
The 100-mlln bicycle race between Wilbur
! \ICnnpp and Nod Hoadlng , the soldier , at
tracted a good crowa tj the Coliseum yester
day afternoon ana evening. That the inon
voro very evenly matched there Is no quns-
.ion , for Heading was In fine form nnd piled
.ho pedals like n thoroughbred racer , Tlio
.wo men went at It with n vengeance and
: tept neck aud neck , to use n llttlo turf par-
ance , for the first fifty miles , which was rid
den in 2 hours nnd 43 minutes. The soldier
ind n great many staunch followers on hand
ind every one of his spurts was greeted bv
tremendous cheering. The Musical Union
jand , with IV spirited music , added much to
the enjoyment of the sport. Everything was
progressing smoothly until nbout twenty
minutes after 0 , when Knapp. who was rid-
ng close to Heading , on turning the north
east curve In the track , went to slow.up , but
instead took a "header , " lighting in the saw
dust track and injuring niuisolf qulto se
verely. The unfortunate man was Knocked
insensible , and in this condition was carried
from the track. Ho was fully fifteen min
utes In recovering and attempted to continue ,
l > ut the task was too much nnd ho gave up.
It would have done no good , however , as
Heading had gained four miles on bun during
tils absence from the track. Many of those
iresont thought that It would have been Im
possible for him to have won under any cir
cumstances , as Ucadlng was reeling off the
miles at a rate that justified the belief tn his
ability to beat Knapp on this occasion , at
[ east. „
Heading completed the 100 miles in 'five
hours , fnrtv-uino minutes uiid eighteen seconds
ends , beating the record by one minute and
forty-two seconds.
Saturday evening Heading will ride Signer
MarJ's ' ni'cn-mile race , giving him , u handi

COST HIM
Indulgence in Contempt Is Sometimes
a Ijiixury.
A display of temper cost Dr. Kuhltnan 510
for contempt in Judge Berka's court
yesterday afternoon. The state's case
against James Ballanco , charged with per-
| ury , was being heard. In the suit of Dr.
Ivulilman against the Hanover Flro Insurance -
anco company , to recover the insurance on
his drug store on Thirteenth street , Bnllanco
swore that ho had delivered gasoline to
Kuhlmau , which was prohibited by the
terms of the insurance company. Kuhlman
had 13 all an ce arrested on the charge of per
jury , alleging that he ( Ualhinco ) bad never
delivered any gasoline to thu drug store at
any time. In the trial of the cause before
Judge } 3erka yesterday afternoon Dr. Kuhl
man took occasion to deny something that
Flro Chief Gallignn had stated us a fuel.
"Judge , " said the chief in an indignant
tone , "I don't want to bo called a liar heio iu
the court room. If ho'll come out side - "
"I meant what I said , " retorted Kulhmau.
"That will cost jou S10 , " said Judge
Bcrka , "and Imoon wnat I sny , and if you
indulge in uny more such language I will
double the fine. "
The case was notconcludcd nt 5 o'clock , and
an adjournment was taken until to-morrow
afternoon.

"Monnnood by thct. . Action of Platte
Couutjr t'eojtle.
Platte county is engaged in the prosecution
of a suit which has been undertaken to en
able it to repudiate { (00,000 ( ot Its bonds , and
vlilcli , If succcssfuIty-'Carrlcd out , will have
n considerable effect II/POU a number of pso-
> lo and institutions , among the latter being
2roghton ! college , of t.his city. This institu
tion invested $37,000 In ho bonds in question ,
nnd its friends nro naturally solicitous lest it
should bo deprived or this valuable portion
of Us endowment. * '
The bonds were IssUthl nbout ten years ago
and wcro to bo given to the first ot two rail
road companies which should build a line
'rom Lincoln to Columbus , the latter being
the county seat of Pintle county. The com-
mnlos seeking the bonus were the Lincoln &
Northwestern nnd the Uluo Valley & North
western. The former built the line nnd the
latter has Mnco been Incorporated In the U.
& M. system in this-state. To it the bonds
were given nnd upon them , until nbout n
year ngo , Interest wtis paid nt the
rate of 8 per cent. Default on the
interest nt that time was made nt the
instance of Jumot K. North , of Columbus ,
who , In the sUnrcmo court of this state en-
oinod the county commissioners of Platte
county from levying n tax for the nurK | > so of
[ laying the accrued Interest In the bonds.
There was no defense made by the county ,
nnd accordingly default was entered. The
question , however , was one In which the
state was Interested because It hold 15,000
of the bonds In the school fund.
The attorney general , as a con
sequence took the matter under
consideration , and with James M. Woolworth -
worth , of this city , ns counsel , will appear
for the state , the understanding nt the same
Lime being that the defense they will make
( or the state will alsu hold as the defense of
the other holders of the bonds. The parties
defendant , to enumerate those to
whom reference bos already been
made , nro ns follows ; iitiite
of Nebraska , f.15,000 ; Croightou college ,
Dmnlia , $37,000 ; a widow in Lincoln , fl'J.OOO ;
Lho estate of 'Mrs. John A. Croighton , $11-
000 ; the funds of the Episcopal church in
Nebraska , & > , OOU. Answer bus been made to
Uio plea and the case stands for trial , which ,
It Is hoped will tnko place soon.
The grounds upon which the bonds nro re
pudiated is that the call for the vote of the
: > coplo for the issuance of thu same did not
jtnto specifically to which rend they were to to
issued , but rather that they were to bo given
M first of two lines which should bo ex
tended to Columbus. Otherwise the bonds
were unassailable , having been registered
and certified to by tbo proper state authori
ties. No question of their validity wns ever
raised until the objection mudo by North.
It Is understood that many of thu residents
of Platte county nro opposed to repudiating
their pledgcs.holding that at best there Is but
n technical objection , which , however
vital , would in no way relieve them from the
moral obligation thny owe to the people
whoso money aided them in securing a rail
road which has been of considerable import
ance to their city und county. If the repudi
ation should bo sustained , the effect will bo
disastrous upon some of the bondholders.
In Town and Ilumlct
The seeds of intermittent nnd bilious remit
tout fever germinate nnd bear evil fruit. No
community has altogether escaped It. In
populous wnrds of large cities bad sewage
causes it , nnd In thoir'SUburbs stagnant pools
in sunken lots breed it. There ts at oneq a
remedy and n means of prevention. Its name
is Hosteller's Stomach fitters , which is , with
out pcrndventure , tho'most potent antidote
in existence to the malarial virus. FortttUd
