FEIL , Notary Public , THE English nnd American salt in terests uro about to unite for harmony und higher prices. There is no danger of an artificial drought , however. Prov idence rains in the west. THE Valkyrie is a pretty lively yacht foe an English craft , but she can nol throw salt water on the bo\y of the Yan kee Volunteer. The American cup will not cross the Atlantic this year. THE observance of Memorial Day in Omaha should bo appropriate as woll.ni Imposing , and the committee soliciting funds should bo encouraged with gen erous subscriptions. COMMISSIONER ANDEUSOK is about to stick another pin into County Clcrli t Roche for extravagance in buying a gross of Sponcorian writincr pens , / Judging from Mr. Anderson's last crusade - sade , there is little danpor that his prlcldnjr will draw any blood. THE Indians of Standing Rook agency "ore-reported to have hold a council re cently , and to have decided not to sign a treatyunloss paid cloven millions , Has somebody been telling the Sioux ol the arriburlt of Unolo Sam's surplus ? -THE Illinois senate is .reported to be W indignant over the newspaper exposure Of jobbery in that body. There are fe incidents in public life so ludicrous aa the "honest indignation" of a collection of boodlors when their schemes nro brought to light. 4 THE low price of brick this season should/induce the use of it more gen' orallyintho erection of dwellings and cottages. A briclc house is not onlj more substantial and attractive than ono of frame , but there is a positive saving to the owner duo to repairs anc , insurance. THE county commissioners have negotiated to hold possession of the old 'county poor house until Januaryl , 1890 , i or until the completion of the now hos pital. From the present condition ol things , however , the cominissionort would bo safe in extending this contract until January 1 , 1080. THE complaint filed against the yardmaster - master at the Tenth street depot foi repeatedly violating the ordinance against obstructing that street was timoly. Ho should bo given to under stand that the people of Omaha have rights to a street crossing which oven the Union Paolflo is bound to rospoct. THE prohibition wave does not alToot English conlldcnco in American brow- trios as n profitable investment. The Syndicate which recently captured sev eral largo vats in this 'country cheer fully announces to the stockholders that the investment will not ilftoou per cent this year. _ ONE of the best indications of ro- vlving business is furnished by the railroads. During the past woolc eleven western railroads luvndlod.sixty- olght hundred cars of grain , against torty-throo hundred cars the previous woolc. The movement of grain to market gives every promise of pormii- noncy , and will result in an active re vival of all branches of business. THE appointment of Judge Zane to be chief justice of the territorial supreme court of Utah will bo received with uni versal satisfaction. Judge Zane is not nt all n stranger to Utah or to the high judicial position to which ho hnu been called. President Arthur selected him in 1884 to become chief justice of tha territory , and as such ho bad more tone no with tbe suppression of polygamy than any other one person. THE press ot Montana is explaining1 ' the reasons for the light vote cast for the members of the constitutional con vention on the ground that the election was culled ut the busiest soabon of the year. It was not indifference on the part of the voters to statehood. Out the ehoop men wore in the midst of the lambing season and the farmers were busy putting in their crops. The popu lation moreover being scattered , it would necessitate a grout deal of time und inconvenience to go to the polls * through muddy country roads , duo to the stormy weather at that'thno. A full vote , however , la promised in October , when the people of Montana and the Other territories will be called upon to leut state oftioiaU. SOUTH : ANDPENSIONS. The democrats ot the south nro not well pleased with the liberal pension policy ot Commissioner Tan ner. They have never regarded the pension system ot the country with favor , nnd there can bo no doubt that the system would have suff ered hnd thn last presidential election resulted differently. Having always felt that the share of the pension money paid by the south is an oppressive and unjust exaction , the southern dem ocrats who applauded Mr. Clove- land's numerous pension vetoes are in a mood to protest against the disposition of the present administration to deal justly and gener ously with the union soldiers. It is a policy that sorely grieves them , and they would very much like to impress the country with the Idea that there is cause for alarm in it. "Tho case is rather a hard ono , " re marks the Atlanta C7oii8 i ( ( ton , which figures that the south's proportion of the pension payments this your is some what in excess of thirty million dollars. ' The policy of Commissioner Tanner furnishes cause for alarm , but the policy Of the govornmpnt gees doopor. No statesman -scorns bravo enough and no party strong enough to withstand the demands of the uonsfon sharks and such elements of the G. A. R. as they can U3o. " The Constitution observes further that "thoro is a steady stream of taxes paid by Georgians ( lowing into Iowa ( which has equal population with Georgia ) , and which carries throe millions into that state every your. " Wo have no doubt the figures of our contemporary are somewhat exaggerated , but that is not a matter of great importance. The fooling betrayed is the significant mat ter. The denunciation ot the Grand Army , the arraignment of the commis sioner of pensions as working into the hands ot the pension sharks , and the general tone of opposition and protest , are what give interest to the enuncia tions of the Constitution. Those show what the prevailing fooling is nt the south regarding thg uonsion policy of the government , and indicate what may bo expected if the democratic party should return to power with the southern element in control oi it. It is not questionable that nothing which Mr. Cleveland did while presi dent so strongly commended him to the good opinion of his party in the south as his nonsion vetoes , and had ho been re-elected and the lower branch of congress - gross continued in democratic control there would have been little show for union soldiers not already pensioned , however strongly they might demon strate their claim to the government's benefaction , and very likely many of those who are receiving pen sions would have had their al lowance reduced. A Southern de mand to bo relieved as much as possible of what is regarded as an oppression nnd an injustice to the people of that sec tion would not have gone unheeded. But the complaint of the south in this matter is not likely to receive any seri ous consideration during the next four years. It is not entitled to it. II Georgia is sending three million dollars annually into Iowa in payment of pen sions she could not devote that amount to a worthier cause , and the total of thirty million dollars a year paid b ; the south is a very moderate charge upon that section for the benefits of a preserved union. The work accom plished by the bravo and loyal men who are the recipients of the nation's bounty was not less valuable to the south than it was to the north , and the people of that section should gladly and grato'fully moot every demand upon them for rewarding the heroes who sus tained the government and defeated the effort to divide the nation. 'Let the people of the south be as generous an they please in making pro vision for the men who fought to destroy the union. Lot them creel homes for them and otherwise provide for thorn whatever way they properly may. There will bo no fault found with their doing so. But at the same time they should pay cheerfully and un grudgingly every dollar asked for the union soldier , counting the cost of hie reward not as an exaction , but us a just obligation to be honored faithfully and uncomplainingly , as ono of the most sacred a free people can charge thorn- solves with. -4. SVOOESSFUL SCHOOL. The tenth anniversary of the Indian training school at Carlisle , Pa. , was ceTobrntod a few days ago. This has been a most successful institution , When established it had ono hundred and flfty-soven scholars , nnd it now has six hundred and seven. Fourteen girls and boys wore graduated this year , nnd they uro described as refined in man ners and far removed from aavagory. Tbo school is supported by the govern ment , and Indian youths of both sexes are admitted to it , receiving a flvo years' course of study. It Is an earn est , common sense effort on the part of the government to bring the Indians out of tholr barbarism and exclusiveness - ness , nnd unite them und their interests with the people of the country. It. is an exponent nt the idea that Indians can bo civilized if placed among civi lized people. , Among a number of prominent per sons present ut the anniversary was the aoeroWry of the interior , General Noble , who presented the diplomas and mmlo an , address on the Indian question. Among other things he said that the president was determined on HO- curinp entire justice to thu Indians , and that the mou who nro appointed ns : \gent3 , inspectors and traduro must un derstand that in the discharge of duty they must secure sobriety , truthfulness , justice und decency within their com mand. There can bo no question us to the value and importance of thli Insti : . tutlou. The Indian qhildrou it sonft out trained in the wuys of civilization can not fall to exert a goad inlluenoo upon the tribes to which they return. But it has been found tlmt not in all cases does the educatiqn of Indian children eliminate the instinct for a wild , Indolent and moro or less barbar ous life. Many who huvo returned to tholr tribes from the school a have speedily abandoned the luothoils nna manners-ot civilized life nnd resumed the habits and praoticda of their tribes , the influence of the adults Overcoming the tonchlngs of the schools. This may not happen with any ot those- who have just graduated from the Carlisle school , but it is a danger which" besots nil In dian children who return to their tribes. Tins proprietors ot the Bourne mills , of Fall River , Mass. , announce that they will begin on Julyl , asystQinot profit sharing with their omwloyes , to continue in force until January 1,1800 , and lunger if the fcchomo proves suc cessful. The Bourne mills are con sidered ono of the most prosperous of the Fall RIver spinners , nnd Its stock holders have received from fourteen to sixteen per cent dividends. The ex periment entered upon by this conserva tive company will ho watched with in terest by manufacturers of Now Eng land. Fall River is ono of the largest textile fabric centers of the country. It is ono of the first cities to fool the effects of trade depression , and has in the past boon the scene of prolonged nnd disastrous strikes. Should the now departure bo found to work well in the Bourne mills , the other cotton mills In that city will bo likely to adopt that plan in order to increase the ollleioncy of their employes and prevent the oc currence of periodic labor disturbances. DAKOTA towns bordering on the Sioux reservation are on the threshold of n season of business and Industrial activity. The opening of the reservation to Bottlomont this year will work a wonderful change in that sec tion. It will add thousands to the population of the territory , bring mil lions of acres of land under cultivation , create now and strengthen old towus , nnd turn what is now a barren waste into blooming lloldsof grain andpasturo lands. The effect of this increase in population nnd cultivation will bo a tonic for the business interests ot the country , and its invigorating olTocts will bo felt in all surrounding towns. Omaha jobbers should bo prepared to enter this inviting field and secure a share of the trado. THE forthcoming statement of the earnings of the Chicago & Northwest ern for the month of April , to bo road to the stockholders within two weeks at their annual mooting , promises to bo a most interesting showing. The road will not only be able to pay its six and seven per cent dividends , but will carry over a surplus for the year of three quarters of a million. With all the croaking that has boon going on of losses duo to the reduction of rates in Iowa and other states , it is quito evi dent that those railroads whoso manage ment is legitimate and prudent , are making money.

The vacancy now existing on the supreme bench at Washington gathers now interest for the people of tliu grout west , and espec ially of Nebraska , at the general mention and favorable reception of the name ot John Leo Webster , of Omaha , for the position. H is conceded by the lawyers of all coun tries that the United States supreme court is the mightiest lo al tribunal in existence to day , . .liKMidcst in its Jurisdiction , scope and powers , and most elevated in the learning , character and individual ability of its mem bers. That this high standard should bo maintained is evident to ull thinking and patriotic men , for the court of last resort passing upon questions pf momentous politi cal importance to largo sections of the union , b'loulil bo well grounded in the faith anil confidence of the people at large. To perpetuate thl reverence anil respect it is necessary that the powers that be should fill such vacancies us occur , by tbo appointment of men leiirncd iu the profes sion , men whoso experience and practice in the various courts has broadened , Instead of contracting their minds , inon whoso natural God-given ability , xnholastlo attainments , long years of ac'.ivo pi n-nico ot tuo bars of both nlal prlus and appolat'j courts , fit thorn to assume the robes of supreme Judicial dignity with credit to tbeiiisolvcK and honor to the nation.

L BCIIEAC orTnnOMAtu UBI , ) 1020 l > STIIBRT , V LINCOLN , May 20. ) Judge Stewart will hoar argumonls on n motion to quash the oomplnlnt ot Joseph McCoy against J. S. Fort to-morrow mom- Ing at 0 o'clock. This will , no doubt , prove to bo n lively legal skirmish , nnd It may load to unpleasant results. PlnlntilT McCoy recently owned 100 noro3 of land In Holt county , not far from the city of O'Neill. Desiring to engage In aomo com * morclal pursuit , ho put the land Into the hands oftho defendant , Fort , who ropro- sontcd to him tlmt ho was n real estate dealer and couhl trade it for a stock of goods. Indeed , Plaintiff McCoy went BO far as to deed the land to a transferee in bane , and , with the document In luind , Fort carao to Lincoln and traded it to A. J. Mllllkcn for n horse worth from J200 to f300. In duo time McCoy suspected tlmt nil was not right , and came to the city to see what had become efFort Fort nnd the deed for his farm. Ho found the facts as stated , nnd with Mllllkon got out n writ of replevin and secured possession of the horse , which was lodged In Bishop Skinner's burn. In the course of nn hour or two Attorney H. H. Blodgctt procured n writ of attachment , alleging that there was due him n little matter of $150 as commis sions for the negotiation of tlio. trade , in which the farm was exchanged for the horio , and the stood was soon landed back ut Skin ner's bnm. Then comes Attorney Green , who filed Plaintiff McCoy's complaint before Judge Stewart , charging Fort with obtain ing tha deed for the farm , in question under false pretences. The warrant was Imme diately served upon Fort at Blodgott's ofllco , nnd on arraignment ho entered the plnn of not guilty. Ills attorney nskod for a continuance until the 15th of Juno , but to this the attorney for the stata would not consent , whereupon the defense filed a mo tion to quash the complaint , nnd the issue went over until the time llrst stated. The opinion Is quite general that Fort is In a nasty predicament. A Disclaimer. An item appeared In these columns re cently to the effect that Messrs. Hancock & Davoy had been Induced to pay Architect Wllcox n certain amount for accepting their lath for the capital building. Mr. M. H. Davoy takes exception to this statement in a letter addressed to THE BEE. , as follows : 'Through your Lincoln correspondent , you have done mo nn Injustice. In the suit of Hancock vs Davoy , it is in evidence that I never gave Mr. Wllcox , the architect of the capitol building , a cent nor agreed to do so : neither ata ho ( Wllcox ) ask for any money. The plaintiff , Hancock , is the only one who suggested to pay all architects who would adopt this lath. Mr. Wilcox knows nothing about this matter whatever. " Both Horse nml Thief Captured. About 10 o'clock last evening Joseph Do Klotz was arrested by Marshal Cooper and Ofllccr Splaln , on information from L. W. Martin , sheriff of Sounders county , charging him with horse stealing. De Klotz is charged with stealing a very valuable horse from James W. Boyle , a farmer who lives near Corcsco , on last Friday , and the evidence against him is said to bo conclusive. The accused came to Lincoln yesterday and se cured worK from Huitard Bros. , the South Twelfth street butchers , but was soon ap prehended and run down. Do Klotz worked for Boyle several months lost summer. On coming to Lincoln ho secured pasture for the horse near the hospital for the insane , and then proceeded to secure employment. Sheriff Martin came down last night and re turned with his prisoner this morning at 7 o'clock , and a deputy secured the horse an hour or BO latur and started northward , overland. _ _ _ Ijacrossu at Scward. The Simmons and Lincoln lacrosse clubs , both of this city , will put up a game at Sew- urd-on Decoration day , nnd , it is stated , because - cause there are no suitable grounds in readi ness hero. Both clubs are practicing dally , and the game will doubtless prove to bo an exciting one. Mr. Wall , of the Detroit club , has kindly consented to captain the LIncolns in the game , and U. E. Adams , of Now York city , will referee the mutch. It is learned that the game will bo called promptly at 3 o'clock' , and tha players would like to see as many Lincoln people on hand as possible. The train leaves the Burlington depot promptly at 13 o'clock. Preceding the matcb , it is said , there will bo a luo yard dash by three record beater * , and this will bo no small part of the day's pleasure. La crosse , in Lincoln , seems to bo taking the place of the national game. Irish Ijonfsua Mooting. The Lincoln branch of the Irish National league held u special meeting this afternoon at Fitzgerald's hall. Secretary Sutton , who has Just returned from a trip through the cast , delivered the address of the day. As usual , however , the vocal and Instrumental music made up the most Interesting part of the programme. This feature of the Sunday afternoon meetings of the league is becom ing very interesting. The Lincoln league is la n highly prosperous condition. St. Paul's Noxr Pastor. HOV..P. S. Stein , of Milwaukee , has ac cepted the pastorate of St. Paul's M. E. church , and will preach his initial sermon next Sunday morning. Rev. Stoln is said to be a man of broad views , highly educated and a most thorough Christian' gentleman. During college days .ho was a classmate of Postmaster Watklus , of this city , who speaks of him very flatteringly. Ho comes to his charge under most auspicious circumstances and a great deal is expected of him. A large uudlonco will doubtless greet him at bin initial service. City NIJW * and Notes. Bishop John H.

BHE HAD SIX HUSBANDS. The Romnrkfiblo Matrimonial Expcr * lenco of a former Oninlia Woman. From Pomona , Cal. , comes the story given below of a remarkably handsome woman. In substance , It runs as follows : Mrs , Josephine Baxter , who recently died hero , had as varied matrimonial experiences as Chaucer's wlfo of Bath. She had no less than six husbands in thirty yearn , and lost them nil by death except ono. Her career was so extraordinary in its altcrna * tlons of wealth nnd poverty that it discounts fiction. She was born of wealthy parents la Tarrytown , N. Y. , but ran away when BX ! teen from Albany seminary with James O'Neill , whom her parents refused to recog- nlzo. O'Neill taught school in Toledo until ho died , in 1853 , and the young wife was loft to take care of her baby : After two years as governess she married Claronca M. Cushman , of Cincinnati , a wealthy pork packer. Cushman died in Homo two years after , nnd his widow found her affairs so heavily involved she saved little from the estate. She returned to this country , and found her third husband in 1600 in St. Louis lu Lieutenant Oscar D. Williams , ot the regular army , who was stationed in Colorado. Her husband was drowned la Montana ono year later , and thoa for thrca years she taught in the family of Senator Washburn , of Minneapolis. There she mar ried Preacher Wilkms , who went na a mis- , slonury to Slam and China. Ho dlodlu Hong Kong , and she brought her fourth spouse's corpse back to this conntry. Her litth hu band was Graham P. Esty , a rich Louisiana sugar planter , who fell in love with her when she was nurse la a Philadelphia hospital. After three years of happiness Esty was ruined by sugar speculation , and committed suicide in 1S32. Then she wont to Philadelphia , and her brother dying loft her $50,000 , and a year afterward she married Baxter , a lawyer and a friend of her brother. They moved to Omaha , but owing to Baxter's ill health , came to California six months ago and settled in Pomona. Hero Mrs. Baxter was attacked by disease and died in her fifty-iirst year. She was a beautiful woman to tho.last. [ Their residence In this city , if they lived hero at nil , must "have been very brief. Inquiries - quiries were made yesterday , but no ono could bo found who know anything about tha couple. ] THE INTOXICATION CLAUSE.- Opinions of Attorneys on Judco Pow ers' Slooumb Uaw Ruling. A special telegram from Wayne , Nob. , to Tnc BEE last Saturday stated that Judga Powers decided that the 310 punishment for the intoxication clause of the Slocumb law is unconstitutional , on the ground that no men tion of it was expressed in the title of the law. Judge Bcrka's attention was called to tha telegram by a HER reporter , and ho was asked his opinion ot the ruling , and what effect it would have in Omaha. "I could not express an opinion on tha oointot law , " replied the judge , "without looking the matter up , but if it wore uncon stitutional it would have no effect on Omaha. Our lines are not imposed under the Slocumb law , but a city ordinance , provisloa having been made in the charter for the city to make its own ordinance touching the matter of drunkenness. If the fines wore collected under the Slocumb law they would have to bo paid into the county , but under the city ordinance they go into the city treasury. No , it wouldn't affect us any if it were da- clared unconstitutional. " Tbo title of the law which Judge Powers says is unconstitutional is as follows : "An act to regulate the license and sale ot malt , spirituous and vinous liquors and to repeal chapter 63 of the code of criminal procedure of the general statutes of 1873 , on. titled. 'License and sale of liquors , ' and to repeal an act entitled , 'An net to amend see > tion 575 of chapter 53 of the criminal code , ' approved February 0 , 1875 , and to repeal an act entitled , 'An act to regulate the fssuo of licenses for ttio sale of malt , vinous and spir ituous liquors in the state of Nebraska,1 ap proved February 25 , 1875. " - < * General J. C. Cowin was asked his opinion of the decision. "I take it , " naid ho , "that Judge Powers basis his decision on the ab sence of a clause providing for a penalty. I have a high regard for Judge Powers' opin ion , but I am Inclined to think that the titla Is broad enough to cover that. Still , I would not care to give an opinion without looking it up. " _ Trovolllclc' * tmst Lecture. Richard Trovelhok delivered another of his Interesting lectures last nlcht , at Wash * ington hall , before a fair-sized nudlenco , composed of laboring men and their families , Mr. Trovelllck took the matter of usury as his subject , and spoke for an hour on tha evil effects the unjust exactions of caplUl have upon laboring men.
