The dignified court-martial appointed to Investigate the charges preferred against Colonel 'Fletcher convened at Fort Omaha yesterday morning pursuant to an adjourn ment taken last Thursday. All members of the military tribunal were present , arrayed In all the paraphernalia of their rank , Captain Potter , the Judge ad vocate , and the accused , with his attorney , Mr. Webster. Colonel Fletcher came in smilingly and , as far as outward appearances were concerned , bad not a care in the world. Ho greeted the gentlemen of the court courteously and whlla awaiting the call to order spent the time in conversation with the gentlemen whoso duty it will bo finally to decide whether his con duct has been becoming an honorable gentle man and u soldier or that of a poltroon. It was after 10 o'clock whoa the president called the court to order , the roll was called nnd tt'O proceedings of the session held last Thursday and then an adjournment was taken untti > o'clock in order that the judge advocate mlgut have au opportunity to inter view Mrs. MoFarland. bis principal witness. Mrs. McFarland is a sister of Mrs. Fletcher , nnd the wife of a Philadelphia merchant. She visited her sister at tha post lost Juno and it was whllo there that she claims to have become acquainted with the facts to which she testified. She Is a pretty , petite woman , with largo blue eyes and a most independent carriage. But she was badly flustered yesterday morning when introduced Into court and her bosom heaved with emotion. "I would like" said Captain Potter , after adjournment , "to have the court go into executive session during the taking of Mrs. JUoFurland's ' testimony , She , of course , is Unused to being in court and it will be moro embarrassing to her as some of the questions to bo ashed are of a very delicate nature. I ask that the spectators and reporters bo excused. " The captain's request was at once granted , Council Ulupp agreeing on the part of the de fense , uud the reporters and two or three other * present were led out under tbo shade troft , by an orderly , sufficiently far away as to preclude the faintest i > ossibllity of any word of the testimony being hoard. About 13 o'clock a question relative to the admission ot certain evidence aroto , and the counsel , deinodunt and witnesses were ex cused for a few nilnntes. Mrs. McFarland joined a party of officers and ladies near the club house , and seemed to bo greatly per turbed. A quarter of an hour later she was recalled and the taking of evidence was re sumed. Mrs. McFarland Is tbo principal prosecut ing witness , and the judge advocate expects to prove by her sufficient to convict the ac cused. She testified that she had heard Colonel Fletcher accuse his wlfo ot infidel ity , aad had known bin ) to abuse her. Bho gave her military brother-in-law particular fiti , and , If her story is true , be 1s anything but the gallant soldier that ono naturally Jookt for among the officer * of Uncle Sam's wrmy. Tbo defense attempted to lighten the weight ot the testimony bycaitlng reflec tions upon the moral character of Mrs. Mo Farland. She was bluntly naked if she had not mot certain prominent Omaha men at unseemly hours and in improper places and for improper purposes. The little lady do- lilea tbco aspersions and resented them with vehemence. The testimony la said tn have abounded with salacious details. Thei officers of the fort who are acquainted with Mrs. AIcFuilind are very lud'triiant at this attempt to blacken her character. She is generally spoken of by them In the highest terms of respect. The officers at the fort and their wives show the greatest delicacy in the mattcr.and so far none of them have visited the court room out of idle curiosity. An adjournment for lunch was taken at 1 o'clock , and at a the court reconvened , and Miss Miflcoy was placed upon the stand nnd cxaminuh by the judge advocate and the counsel for the defense. Her testimony was nearly entirely corroborative ot the evi dence given by Mrs. McFurland , and but few now facts were disclosed. Her exami nation was also conducted with closed doors , and all that the reporters could do in the meantime wan to lie out under the trees , and chow grass and denounce star chamber ses sions. Tno examination of Miss Mlskey being completed , the court adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning , when other witnesses for the prosecution will bo introduced. Mrs. McFarland bad recovered from her perturbation of the morning , and during the examination of Miss Mlskey , chatted pleas antly with a half dozen officers in front of the club. When approached by a reporter , however , she declined to bo interviewed. Dyspepsia Makes the lives of many people miser able , and often leads to self-destruction.

Malcom O'Malley , a laborer employed in the smelting works , has been arrested on the charge of rape. The circumstances under which the crime % is alleged to have been committed are pecu liar in the extreme. The complainant is Mra.Gortrudo Wolstar- lengor , whose husband is also employed in the smelting works. Mrs. Wolstarlonger .state * that at 3 o'clock ' yesterday morn ing she was awakened and found Malcom O'Malloy attempting liberties with her.

The testimony devel oped the facts given above , and ho was bound over to the district court in the sum of 1,500. A Very rorol&lo Kick. A number of respectable citizens protest against a lot of hoodlums who congregate on \Vest Cumlng street on Sunday afternoon * to play liall and drink beer and make the lives of persons living In that vicinity any thing but pleasant. Lost Sunday about forty congregated on the hill just outside tbo city limits , played an alleged game of ball and consumed two kegs of beer , cursing and swoarlug at almo st every breath , their noise attracting the attention and disturbing the people living anywhere within five blocks. After the disgraceful exhibition , they wound up with several tights In which ono man was quite seriously hurt. Some of tbesa young men are the son * of respectable parents , mid they are crivcn fair warning by the residents that it U about time to call a halt. 'I bo people of that neighborhood say they do not propose to be Imposed upon any longer. _ An AbxolittH Onrn.

The First Day of the Great Depart mental Rlllo Shoot. Yesterday was the first day of the rifle competition of the Department of the Platte at the Bellevue range. Known distance firing was the order of the day. The weather was simply delightful , but during the after noon a fish-tall wind blow down the range , interfering with very fine work. Good scores were made nevertheless. The interim between tbo morning and afternoon shooting was passed by the or Jrs and men in recuperating for the longer dis tance firing. Under the grateful shade of a little clump of trees in front of the officers' quarters , tbo commissioned marksmen sat and discussed the outcome of the competition , read thcjr letters and puffed their cigars. The enlisted men lounged about their quar ters reading , chatting and playing quoits until the butjlo called them to dinner , Luncheon at the officers' mess was a jolly feature. - > Lieutenant Tyler has the making of a great ball player In him , as evidenced by the man ner in which ho deprived Lieutenant Hutch- cson of an apple. Mr. Hutchcson is a good catcher , but Mr. Tyler is a trifle the s\vifter. Lieutenant Buck is said to bo the heavy sporting man of the camp , and is a terror to the misguided individuals who invest in pools. Lieutenant Gregg is known to bo the hand somest man in camp. lie Is a clover , oblig ing gentleman , and , although an infantry officer , is an acknowledged equestrian. Captain Coolldgo arrived at the range yes terday morning , and will command the team when the competition is over. Lieutenant Buck is considered the best all-around skirmisher in the army. Lieutenant Palmer says ho would rather have codfish balls than a sword for good range shooting. There were few visitors at the range yes terday , which is duo , it Is alleged , to the poor train service from Omaha. A moro de- llrhtful place to spend an afternoon is not near tbo oity. Miss Henry , Mrs. Captain Cool I il go and Mrs. Chambers "were In the grand stand dur ing the afternoon. It Is thought , however , that a special party will be organized to visit the range on tbo day when the medals are awarded. During the 000 and COO yards competition In the afternoon the wind was dcoidedly'un ' favorable , and some of tbo best marksmen had dlfllculty lu keeping up their record. Of the postures affected by the marks men in long distance shooting the favorite is the ' Texas grip. " In this position the sol dier lies-on his back with the strap of the nflo around his loft leg , the loft hand passed behind the head grasping the rlfio stock , ' while the thumb of tbo right hand pulls the trigger ; the recoil comes principally upon the leg. Lieutenants "Mulr and Buck , Ser geant Saladin and in fact all tbo "crack" shots use tnis position , which Is a favarita among riflemen. The "saw-bunk. " the Luiiiely" and a urono position each has Its distinguished advocates. To-day there will bo a skirmish run In tbo morning and known distance firing in the afternoon.

COULDN'T ' MARRY THEM Why Young and Handsome Mr. Davis Has Disappeared. k DAN CUPID IN A DILEMMA. It Wan Hard to Be Off With Uio Old liov , But Ho Wns Bound to Bo On "With the New. Two Blnlclens Claimed Him. Mr. Drake , managor'bf the Nebraska 'Tel ephone exchange , has returned from Kear ney , whither bo was called by the sudden disappearance of 0. W. Daria , manager of the telephone exchange of that place. Mr. Drake says that Davis disappeared on the evening of the 15th. Ho was scon In the vicinity of the depot about thirty minutes before train time , and that was the last that can bo learned concerning Dim. During the day ho had Riven It cut that ho was going to Oinaka to attend to seine business relating to the telephone exchange , and his disappearance created no concern at first. After being absent four or flvo dajs , Inquiry was inado concerning him at the general oftlco , whan it was learned that the managers had scon nothing of him A few days since Manager Dralco loft for Kearney to examine Davis's books and try to ferret out the mystery surrounding his disappearance. The books were found to have been carefully kept and balanced on the day of Davis'x disappearance , and the amount to the credit of the telephone compa ny was found on deposit In one of the. Kear ney batiks. It was also ascertained that Da vis had paid close attention to business and wa well liked for bis business ability and admired for bis manly attributes. As bo is a young man of but twenty-two , It was presumed that probably a woman was at the bottom of his disappearance , and an Investigation of his correspondence showed that there were two of them. It appears that two years ace Davis lived In Kingston , N. Y. . where bo loved and was loved In return by a sweet maid of eighteen. There was also a young woman of about twonty-llvo In the samoc city who was deeply In love with young Davis , who , by the way , Is a very fascinating 'young follow , but ho failed to reciprocate her affection. When ho left to coino west botli youne ladles asked the privilege of corresponding with him and ho consented. t A number of letters passed between him and the two girls , until the younger one , with whom ho was 'enamored , wont on a visit. The letters between the two then miscarried and In the course of a few months as Davis did not hear from his beloved bo made up his mind time' 'oho had forgotten him. The corresjKmdetlco between him and the older lady continued until bo was llnally overcome with the twcalth of affection breathed In her letters and consented to marry her. " A few days later heTioard from the other young lady and learned then for the first time that she bad been writing constantly to him and wondered at his silence. All the affection for his first love was rekindled and ho resolved to have her at all hazards. Although the day of bis wedding to the other young lady was sot two or three times , yet ho managed to postpone it each time. The lust date agreed oa was August 1. Meanwhile Davis learned that the father of the girl to whom he was unwillingly en gaged to bo married , was Insolvent and too decrepit for longer business llfu ; that the mother was Insane and n great oxnense to the family and that when the daughter was married - ried her parents would have to coma to live with tier brlugin ? also a brother of abouttcn years who would'also have to bo provided for. As the young woman , who is five years Martin's senior , would not consent to break ing the engagement , it Is thought that Mar tin bus found that the only way out of the dlfllculty was to purposely lose himself.

ADDITIONAL TRACKAGE , It is Demanded on Territory Now Held by qiiattcra. The crusade against the squatters on the Union Pacific lands is being pushed with vigor. Superintendent Itcsscguo in speak ing of the matter said : "Wo need some of the ground at urcscnt for trackage. "Wo have decided to ro-arrango tbo system of switch tracks leading to the smeltlnir works , which moans the construction of additional lines. These tracks will extend along the river from the smelting works , and will re quire the land now occupied by squatters be tween Davenport street and the , main lino. "Wo.have also talked over the matter of constructing an additional line to the ica houses at Cut-Off lalto. This will require the removal of a large number ot squatters who have located along the present 'Aino leading to the lake. When wo built the other line to the lake we were actually com pelled to make curves In our road so as to get around the houses of the squatters. It was in tbo fall of the year , and we did not like to dis turb thorn. But this time wo will put in a straight track , if any , regardless of the squatters. "It matters not , however , whether wo do- eire the land for trackage purposes or not. The laud , is ours and wo are the only tenants that can legally occupy it. If wo desire to clear our land of such incumbrancos wo have an undisputed right to do so. " Railroad Notes. A train consisting of twenty-five cars of California fruit passed east yesterday. Thomas P.

Mr. Wiley , of Wiley & Williams , coal dealers at Fortieth and Leaven worth streets , and 0 , P. White , a dealer at Twenty-ninth avenue nnd Leavonworth streets , called at THE BEE office to file a protest in the name of probably twenty-five other small dealers whom they claim are being frozen out by tba ordinance compelling each coal dealer to pay an annual license of 1100 , It Is an outrage , pure and simple , and wt want to get the ordinance revoked , " said Mr. Wiley , "The tax isn't levied became the city needs the Income. It was simply a schema of the big dealers to freeze out the little fellows. The big dealers , among whom uro Jeff I3edfordCoutant & Squires , Howell & Co. , J. J. Johnson & Co. , Nebraska Fuel Co. . Omaha Coal , Coke and Lime Co. , Neal & Conrad , and nearly all the firms that do much business down In the centre of the city , held a meeting some time oorly last snrlng. after the winter coal trade was over , and got up this ordinance. Then they had It rushed through in a hurry , and I remember it was said at the lime that councllmcn couldn't tell what they had been voting on but supposed it was all right because Jeff Bedford said it was. "Nona of us , the small dealers , and the big ones if they happen to bo located some distance out , were given notice of the meeting. "Now hero's the reason why the ordinance was gotten up : Before the small yards were started on the outskirts , the big'follows down town had a double hold on the consumer who lived off the main streets , They could set their own price on coal and then put on an extra charge for hauling it more than a cer tain number of blocks. "Suppose they hauled a load out to Augusta OTcnuo , that was fifteen cents ; a few blocks furl nor. twenty-five cents , and if they hauled it out to where our yards are situated the extra charge of seventy-five cents , all of which was saved the consumer when a yard was started within a block or two of his back door. "Most of the men affected by the robbing ordinance they number about twenty-five can't afford to pay the license , and will have to go out of business. Then the down town combine will slap on extra charge again. Fourteen of us have refused to pay the license , and will right It in tha courts. Wo don't think it constitutional to single out one class of men in this way. but wo want the ordinance revoked because they might provo it legal. " . Touley' It inc.

I'HOSKOUTION DID NOT APPEAR. Impeachment Proceeding * Against Justice Liuvy Collni ie. Here are some of the charges preferred against Jacob Levy , a South Omaha Justice of the peace. Levy was arraigned for im- poucbmont before the board of county'corn * mlssioiicrs yesterday morning : Gross partiality in refusing to file affidavits of plaintiff in the case of Calleghan against Modaro ; for rendering judgment in favor of plaintiff nnd unlawfully assessing two-thirds of the accrued costs to plaintiff instead of one-third ; like offenses in tbo case ot E. IL Doud and M. Kandall against Gcorgo L. Cbnord ; of gross frauds in stating to citizens of South Omaha that if they would brine ; suits before him they would not lose any- tning , because ho would render his decisions in their favor regardless of either facts or the law ; of onprosslon in muinp'war'rauta and causing the arrest ot a person charged with gambling and refusing to accept such bail as would keep him from going to Jail ; is guilty of wilful mat-administration In ofilco ; guilty of having purchased judgments re corded on his docket , and forcing collection of them ; eullty of corruption In nlllcc. It Is charged that his action in tbo first case , an attachment suit , was the , result of malice towards a notary public , wno swears to a motion filed with him to have the at tachment dissolved , and forced Callogban , the plaintiff , to pay him thirty cents in fees for filing one paper which contained throe affidavits. In the plaintiff's ' absence ho changed the entry of costs from one to two-thirds. When Assistant County Attorney Doud demanded execution of a iudcmont In the case of Doud nail Ramsey , the allega tion states that Levy would not issue the papers unless the fees were advanced , say. ing that he wanted to get oven with Doud for some previous act. lu the bigamy case W. II. Stair is the name of the defendant. Randall's accusa tion states that Levy demanded $500 from him to dismiss thrf criminal proceedings. By refusing to comply , Levy threateningly in formed the gentleman that unless lie settled tha matter the court would cause him to bo xont to the penitentiary. The case was then , taken on change ot venue to another Justice. The charges of maladministration are to tbo affect that Levy maliciously refused to let I land all , an attorney , examluo the trial docket in his ofiloo ; that ho demanded and received moro fees than the law allows him , and many other aggravating accusations. Mr , Levy and his attorneys were on hand promptly at 10 o'clock , and Chairman Mount called the board to order. There being no nno present then to appear for the prosecu tion County Attorney Moriarlty , who sat as the board's law-giver , suggested a recess until U o'clock to glvo the accuser an op portunity. On failure of any person to show up , the fact then developed that Kandall has left Douglas couuty , and the case was dis missed. Mr. Levy was given a char co , however , to make a showing of his docket and paper * and give an explanation in refutation to tu charges against him. m For Weak Stomach Impaired Digestion Disordered Liver , m . 91 0 BY ALI , DRUGGISTS.
