THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TWJK8DAY. OCTOBER 31. 1889. TIIEl MUST FACE THE COURT Half aDozon People Indlotod By the Grand Jury. BRIBING THE COMMISSIONERS. How Over XlmnkCul Contractors ticattcrrd Around Tholr lilt- tlo riles of $100 , file. , lilc. . Imitated Ones. fc The report oftlio grand Jury.mnilolatoTuc.i- day evening , was the chief topic ol conversa tion around the court house yesterday. It was about In the Und expected by the knowing ones. Still , there wiw nn expression of In tense relief upon tlio face * of some of the county magnates whoso official actions wcro subjected to investigation by the Jury. Some of the commissioners Imvo done a great deal of talking upon various county matters , font the report of the grand jury was the first intimation that the general piibllohas had of nny attempt having been made to brlbo two of the couuty commis sioners In connection with the court house retaining wall contract. The Jury reported that n direct attempt had been mndo by the contractors on the Job to brlbo Commis sioners O'Kcoffo and Mount nnd that the grand Jury was only prevented from ordering criminal proceedings against the contractors bccnu.io the attempt nt bribery was made tnoro than eighteen month * prior to the onipanncling of tlio grand Jury and was therefore barred by the stainto of limitation. "How was thoattorriDttobrlbo you made ! " was the question put to Mr. O'KccfTo by n line reporter. ' The contractors or ono of them , " said Mr. O'Kcoffo , "loft 8100 in money at my house ono day during my absence with n note ot a half dozen words simply thanking tno for past ( uvora. This ivas two years ngo in May , I simply sent the money back without nny word of explanation , other than to toll the man who sent it that ho was n fool. " Comml&sloncr Mount said ho had $100 left nt his IIOUBO about the same tlmo. Ho said nothing about It until the next meeting of the board , when ho placed the money iu uu' envelope and handed It back to the contrac tor. tor.Them Them were six Indictments returned by the grand Jury nnd rumors were Hying about the court house all duv ns to the identity ot the parties against whom tbo presentments wcro mudo. It was pretty generally under stood Hint tlicro wcro indictments ugainst two parties connected with the county hospi tal Job , neither of tliout commission- era , two against parties connected with the Pnutoy vault Job , ono against a former employe of tbo commissioners in n clerical capacity , nnd ono against a well known citizen for tin offense committed last spring , in which there was n woman m the case. case.A no arrests Imvo been mudo under those findings , the names of the unfortunates nro withhold for obvious reasons. The grand Jury has not been such an ex- ponslvo luxury us has been generally sup posed. The sixteen members wore in ses sion twenty-seven days and thirteen of them twenty-eight days. Each Juror received R ! per day , a total of fSUO for Jurors' attend ance. There were thirty-six witnesses nnd a total of eighty-live days in at- tcndanco or $170 for witness fees , and a total of Sl.COO for witnesses and Jurors , There were sx few incidental ex penses of the jury , such as mileage aud car riage hire , but this amount will bo moro than nn offset by the reduction of the wit ness foes of the commisslours and other county officials nnd employes , if they nro not allowed by the commissioners as recom mended by the grand jury. At any rate the total expense of the llvo weeks' worlc of the grand jury will not oxcopd $1,100. The District Court.

"Our children have been driven out of the * nigh school building and scattered all over creation ; families are separated and some of the llttlo ones are compelled to go a long way from homo.

The representatives of the various roads doing a local business m Nebraska will meet at Kansas City to-day for the purpose of considering the mandate of the slaro board of transportation of Nebraska relative to the reduction in rates on anthracite coal , and the wiping out of the differential on that commodity as compared with , the rate on soft coal. Umior the oxUting rates the difference Is about ZTi per cent , that in , the rate on hard coal Is about that much higher than the rate on soft coal. The dealers have repeatedly petitioned the state board to compel the railroads to equalize the rate , not by raising ono and lowering the other , thereby dividing the percentage , bnt , by making the rate on hard coal the same ns Is now charged on soft coal. The railroads fought the measure , taking the stand that , as soft coal wni n moro com mon commodity , n greater amount was han dled and it could bo done a * , a lower rate. About two weeks ago the state board notified ho different roads to ralso the rates on coal and allowed them thirty days 'n which to nnko the change. Again the roads parleyed , jut wcro given to understand that tno action ot thu board was both arbitrary and final. In view of this , the meeting has been called , and representatives of tbo lines Inter ested loft Omaha lost evening for the scene of the meeting. The local rates on coal in Kansas will also bo taken up. Assist ant General Freight Agent Cassidy , of the Klkhorn , stated that In all probability a rule would be established that would conform with the reduction demanded. SUPT.

Brown's remains were laid in the grave at Wyukn to-day nt OtSOo'cloclc. The funeral services were conducted by llov. Or. Howott , pastor of the church of the Holy Trinity. At 2:30 the Initial procession * loft his late residence nnd went to tha now Episcopal church.wlicro fitting services wcro hold. Hov. Howott , in his discourse , paid n splendid compliment to the llfo and character of the deceased. Few , it any , larger processions over fol [ owed the remains of any ono to the church yard In this city. State officials , members of Lho bar , and Grand Army men attended the services en masse. Just bcforo the hour of adjourning court at noon the bar hold a memorial service. Judges Mason and Woolworth , Attorney-Gen eral Locso and Chlol Justlr.o Iloeso pro nounced lilting ouloglcs , which were ordered spread upon .tho records of the court. The committee on resolutions reported ns folloxva ! Whereas , It has pleased an nil wlso Provl- dcnco to remove from our midst Guv A. IJrown , for moro than twenty years libra rian ot the stato. cleric of the supreme court and reporter of its decisions , Hesotved , That this event is ono greatly to bo deplored by the judges mid bur of this court nnd by nil good citizens. To the vari ous duties devolved upon Him ho brought a singular aptltudo , nnd in their clischargo ho rendered a faithful nnd loyal service. Ho had , beyond many men , u love of books , so that ho gave to the library the fond and wlso cnro which has loaded its shelves with works of the first value and the best editions , nnd filled It with treas ures rare , interesting ilnd beyond price. Exact and precise In ttio use of language , > when ho was charged with stating the syl labi of the decisions of the court , ho pre sented the ualuts decided with accuracy and conclsemcut. As clerk of the court ho never failed In answering the exacting demands of counsel , in assisting tno judges In tholr onerous duties , or In administering his ofllco in nil ways beyond complaint. Uesolvcd , That the beauty of his character was ovou more attractive In private than in oUcial [ llfo. Whllo wo shall never forgot the gentleness of his manners when ox- oxcrclsing his duties ns clerk , wo cherish with affection nnd ilcllcht , the memory of him ns n friend. Ills spirit seemed always chastened by respect both for himself and for others. In nil that was pure and true and of good report , ho scorned to live and move and Imvo his baing. Given to all good works und cherishing a love for all peed men , und at the same tune full of charitv for these who were led astray , his llfo was a blessing and the memory of him will bo an unfailing joy. Ho lived much in the church of his uffectious. Ho prayed for her peace , ho served her with his best gifts of love , of labor and of success. They who know him In thosa sacred relations , best know what manner of man ho was. Ilosolvcd , That while wo dare not trespass within the hallowed precincts of his home , wo venture to assure his widow nnd hischll- droii of our sympathy In this affliction , and that in the years to como , wo with them will cherish the memory and endeavor our&olvos to follow the good example which has been loft us by Guy A. llrown. Uesolved , That the court bo requested to spread these resolutions upon its records , and to adjourii its sitting'so that the bar , with the judges , may attend the funeral. Jonlclni nn Ii'nrm Deputy Labor Commissioner John Jenkins , whp has Just returned from a visit to Wash- incton , D. C. , unbosomed himself to the rep resentative of Tuc BEG to-day in relation to farm mortgages , a subject which has invited his attention for several months past. Ho said : "Tho views that I held uoon the subject have been fully shared in by the United States census for IS'JO , that a demand for a true statement should bo bad , as the present statistics bearing upon the subject are vicious and the statements made regardless of truth. The agitation from various quar- tors'upon this subject has had a wholesome effect , causing inquiries to bo made. While at Washington I found that Messrs. Colonel Lord , of Illinois ; ICrausn , of Now Yorir , and another gentleman , of Massachusetts , under the direction of Commissioner Porter , of the census department , bad each been instructed by him to make a series of-blanks , covering thu investigation , which was to be carried on in a county in cuch'of those three states. As each of these three gentlemen had adopted n method of their own they came back to com pare results , nnd will have adopted a formal blank within the next ton doya. a ho amount that congress has over created for this inquiry Is inadequate , and it is the pur pose of Mr. Porter to call the attention ot tbo national legislature to the importance ot this subject and tno necessity of providing a suf ficient amount to carry it through success fully , so that when our next census is pub lished facts and not assertions will give us a full knowledge of our pre out position. "Tho throe counties from which Informa tion has boon gathered revealed the fact that less than one-sixth of the total amount of In debtedness as published is correct. The analvsls of mortgages may not bo carrlod on by the United States to give n full and com plete understanding of what mortgages mean , for the prevalent Idea of a mortgage Is the placing of an incumbrnnco upon a piece of real estate , which necessarily con. . voys with it the idea of failure , duo to vari ous causes , among which , may bo related failure ot crops and mauy other causes inci dent to general depression. The analysis should be made of mortgages in general , making this a class , aud separating it from cases where a purchase is made , partial pay ment made , and a mortgage given to secure the balance , the latter being at a groittor ratio to the aggregate than the former , and which tend to provo a prosperous condition than otherwise. Tbo fallacy ot the various statements mudo in relation to mortgages have at last been traced. Tbo Bankers' Monthly is authority for the state ment that "western farm mortgages" are as follows i Kansas $ KK , 178,030 Indiana CaV-'UO.lll Iowa f7,4lO27 ( ! : ! Michigan 499,103,181 Wisconsin 337,709,507 Now , turn to page 053 , part 1 , compendium of the tenth United States census of the United States. IbSO , aud it will bo found that the forgoing figures represent the value of the farms of these status for that year. "I will prepare a sot of blanks as soon as I receive these from Washington , from the census burnau , to cover all the analysis causing mortgages for one county in this states , as my funds will not allow mo to do anything more. "While I was In Washington , I found Sec retary Rusk very much interested in the sugar beat industry , and ho spoke very hopefully for that industry in the future for our state. "I'lio metric system of weights and meas ures will be hero in the capital next month. "I want to say that the total valuation of Improved larms In Nebraska for IbSS Is (111,244,810. N.OW , Fomo , may say that this is only about one-third of the real valuo. Very well , multiply by three and it onlv makes a valuation of 1120,734,130 , still JXU.OOO.OUO short of Burrow's statement concerning the mart gngo indebtedness ot the state. " The Soldiers' Homo Crowded. The governor received a letter from Cap tain W. O. Henry , the commandant of the Soldiers' Homo at Grand Inland , yesterday , Informing him that the homo is moro than full ana that not another jicmon can be taken In ut present. Persons have lately been sending parties to the home without having made previous application and without any authority. They have purchu od tickets for the parties and bent thoui there without a penny aud not knowing whether they could bo received or not. This I * all wrong. The statute of Inst session provides AS follows : "That nil applications for admission to said homo shall bo made to the county board of tbo county In which the applicant resides , nnd It shall bo anil In hereby inacio the duty ot any county board in tliU stale to whom such application shall bo made to Inquire Into the condition of such applicant , and if upon such Inquiry it bo found that the applicant is unable , by reason of disability , to earn a living for him or herself , or his or her chil dren under the ago of fifteen years , ana nro dependent upon public or private charity for their maintenance , then the county board shall nt once forward the application , to gether with tholr Hading in regard to the condition of such applicant , or hi * or her family If nny , under their no.il to the legally authorized board of such homo , whoso duty It now i * , or hereafter shall bo , to receive nnd net upon application for admission thereto. " All parties therefore take notice that none will.bo received Into the homo hereafter ex cept in compliance with the nlnt'.ito above quoted ; nnd no ono should bo sent there until tbo commandant of the homo nollllcs the mrttos that hols ready to receive. If nny /orson * are sent there except iu nccordauco with this statute they will bo scut bnck again. < o the place from whence they came , The board of public lands and buildings , the visiting nnd advisory board , nnd the gov ernor , are doing all in tholr power to euro for the nocoy soldiers nnd thtlf families , but tbo authorities of the homo should not bo im posed upon by sending parsons tbero with out any authority of law , and without notice from the commandant. The governor respectfully rcquoit * paper s throughout the state to copy this. The Suproinn Clorkohll ) . The temporary appointment of Walter A. Loose , ot Scward , as clerk of the tuiprouio ; ourt , occasioned considerable surprise , but it Is nevertheless generally satisfactory. The conviction is , however , that ills appoint ment was made in ttio interests of Judge Reese , who , It Is said , will present himself as a candidate for permanent nppomtmont it the close of his term ot oflloo. Indeed , THU BRR representative is assured that thin s the cuso. Still , some of Reoso's friends insist that ho would not accept the position inder any circumstances. They urge that : ils present position precludes any such pos sibility , and that coming down to a clerkship would belittle tlio dignity of the position of chief j ustlco of the supreme court , which hem m * hold with signal ability. Many of his friends talk right out In mcoting to this effect. But a state official , close in the con- idenoes of the court , is quoted n * having said that the permanent ulorkshlp has been ten dered to him and that ho will accept It. Bcntrlcn ImervtMiCH. Attorney General Loose appeared before : ho supreme court to-day and gave notice that .ho city of Beatrice desired to intervene in , ho quo warranto proceedings from Douglas county , seeking to test the consUtutioual- ity of the registration law. "Jho court gave assurance of nn early hearing ana attorneys 'rom Beatrice and this city will prcscut irgumonts in "favor of the law to-iuorrow. The Supreme Court.

Burnham vs Auditor of State. 23 Nob. , 123. 3. Although there be apparent confusion in the application of an amendatory nut of the legislature to provisions sought to bo amended or repealed ; held , that whort , the intention of the legislature , within constitu tional limits , is not doubtful , and the amnndatory act not incongruous with the title and purview of the amended statute , the amendment is valid. Comstoitk vs Judge , 39 Mich 195. 8. An net passed , enrolled , approved and deposited with the secretary of state is nn act iu force , competent of ameudniont.though by error , Inadvertency , or misconception it may not have boon compiled and published in the sarao manner with all other laws of the stato.

The Judge told the would-bo groom that ho was under ago , and that bo would have to got the written consent of his father or guardian before a license would issue.
