Attorney.
TnKAM-ir , Neb , , April 2.1.-Special ( to
Tin : BKK. ] About October i ! . " . , Mrs.
Helen M. Clougur , the notorious temperance
agitator , delivered an address In Lincoln , dur
ing the delivery of which she charged that
Tin : BII : : had been subsidized by the liquor
dealers' association , and that the editor of
Tin : Bin : had connived with the liquor deal
ers to defeat thu prohibition amendment nnd
was paid * lIXX ) for his work. These charges
of bribery and corruption were made so broad
and specific that Immediately upon receipt of
the report Mr. Kosewatcr decided to go to
Tekamah , where Mrs. Gougur wus billed to
lecture on the evening of October ' - ! $ , with n
view to compelling her to retract the Blunder
p.lbllcly.
Upon arrival of the train Mr. Ilo-ewatcr
proceeded to the rink , which was packed
with a largo audience. After Mrs. Cougar
had been talking about half a hour , during
which Mr. Hosewnter stood quietly near the
door , Mrs. Gougar proceeded to repeat her
blandcrous charges , and wnen 'sno mui nmiiiy
concluded that jKirtion relating to Kosewater
and Tin : Br.i : , Mr. Kosewutcr walked up to
the center of the aisle and asked permission
to Interrupt the speaker with it question.
Mrs. Gougur shouted :
"Puthlmoutl Kosewater cannot speak in
this hall ! "
Mr. Uoscwnter said ho did not want to dis
turb the meeting , but asked to be heard after
Mw. Gougar was through.
Mrs. Ciougnr kept on shouting , "We can't
bo bulldozed by Kosewatcr. Put him out ,
and I call upon the people of Tekamuli to ar
rest him and put him in jail 1"
A man styling himself u deputy sheriff con
ducted Mr. Kosewater to the entrance.
When Mrs. Gougar had concluded Mr.
Kosewater made an effort to be heard , stat
ing that he wanted a chance to refute the
slanders against himself , but the lady who
presided chimed in with Mrs. Gougar , and
thanked the audience for refusing to give
way to Mr. Kosewater , Mrs. Gougar screamIng -
Ing that this was only another evidence of the
devilish plots of the rum power.
Amidst a great deal' of uproar , during
which time a number of the gentlemen of
Tekamah assured Mr. Kosewater that ho
could have a hearing , Mrs. Ganger called for
a vote denouncing Mr. Kosewater for coming
into the meeting , which was declared carried ,
anil the audeneo dismissed.
Just as the people filed out Mrs. Gouger
wits heard declaring : "I want Mr. Kosewatei
to understand Unit ho cannot intimidate Helen
M. Gougar. "
At U o'clock a warrant was served on Mr.
Kosewuter und ho was arrested by a deputy
sheriff.
The next morning Rosewatcr was re
leased on hls'own recognizances nnd the case
was set for Clio 8th of November. On that
date County Judge Wndo Glllis , who Is an in-
tcnso partisan of the Tekamah fanatics , nnd a
Jury of six men picked by himself , tried the
case , which lingered along through the day
and into a tiresome evening session. At 11 : . ' ) (
p. m. the jury sent word to the court that
they could not ugreo uud they were locked up
for the night. After breakfast the next
morning the Jury filed into the court room
nnd dechnvd Mr. Kosewater guilty of tin
charge of disturbing a religious meeting.
JudgO ( iillis in Imposing the line said that us
there had been mitigating circumstances con
nected with the disturbance ho would onlj
impose half the statutory line and assess the
costs upon the defendant.
Mr. Uosowutor immediately appealed tine
o iso to the district court , which is In session
nt Tekamah with Judge Clorkson on the
bench , and the case was sot for ycsterduj
morning ut 0 o'clock.
Promptly at that hour Mr. Kosewntcr en
tered the court room with his counsel , Judge
James W. Savage , and a Bci : reporter. Judge
Savage was assisted in the selection Qa Jurj
by Mr. Sears of Oakland. Only six jurymei
of the regular panel were retained , and at
least n dozen talesmen were culled before , t
moro impartial Jurors were chosen. o
cjurt room was crowded its before with m lo
and female prohibitionists the latter pro
dominating.
In presenting the case to the Jury Count }
Attorney Peterson evidently forgot hlmsel
u id essayed to bo witty at Mr. Kosewater's
expense , at whtuirlho rural audience luughei
heartily. .Tudgo Clarkson rebuked then
severely and threatened to clear the
courtiooin in the event of another BUC !
demonstration. The audience were some
what dismayed , as at the trial in the lower
court they had laughed at every sally will
impunity.
An hour and a half was consumed in sc
lo.'tlng the jury. The prosecution had sub
iMwiucd eighteen witnesses from all over the
fatate , utnoni * them Mrs. C. M. Woodward
Htato organizer of the Woman's Christiai
Temperance union , and several ladles fron
Sowurd , Dodge and Douglas counties. The de
fense subpuMiuod eleven witnesses.
Mrs. Parmalco , the president of the loca
Woman's Christian Tomporaneo union , was
the first witness called. She described Mr
Kosewater's conduct at the Gougar lecture
and introduced the constitution and by-laws
of both the local and state associations.
K. B. Duiloy. un attorney of Tekamah , was
present at the lecture and thought Mr. Koso-
wuter more sinned against than sinning , am
would have liked very much to have heun
Mr. Kosewater defend 'himself at the time
Ho confessed , however , that ho got angrj
when Mr. Kosowater advanced the sccom
time. Mr. D.illoy's views of the case were
listened to with interest.
The star witness for the prosecution , how
evnr , was Dr. Pierce , who seems to bo i
sort of an all-round man In Tekamah
Ho stated that ho was u physician
u prohibitionist and no slouch as an usher
On the evening In question K. M. Day , a gen
tlemaii who had come from Omaha on the
train with Mr. Kosewatcr , started posthaste
to i ho rink and Informed Dr. Plcrco that Mr
Kosewatcr was following and was going to
make Mrs. i.ougar retract her slumlerou
charges , and thu doctor accordingly held him
Keif In rcudlnctis to prevent such un event
Dr. Pierce gave some amusing testimony
uiuli'f Judge Savago's masterly cross-oxani
Illation , and considerably -startled the ladle
in the uudicncu.
Ono or two unimportant witnesses told th
old , old Mory of Jho alleged disturbance , am
court was adjourned until -J o'clock , with th
prosH"el | of a cose to bo stubbornly fought be
fore everyone.
Mrs. Ptirmuleo was again called to the stum
after tlio court nvonvened , and the
prosecuting attorney attempted to prove
that although not in the cou-
btllutlon and by-laws of the local associ
ation , the association had the right to ar
range such service * or means as would l > est
fcervo the ends In view. The constitution ,
however , said that the local association was
auxiliary to'.tho state association , which lu
turn was auxiliary to the national u.SMvla-
tlon , and that no such action could bo taken
without the consent of the directorate of the
litter in coiuviitlnn. Mr. Peterson tried In
fverv way to prove by Parmalcothattho
ocal" association could of their r.wn volition
moke their meetings evangelical , and after
ho mne question had been asked several
lines In slightly different language , all of
vhich were objected to by Judge Suvugo nml
ustiilncd , the court got tired and informed
Mr Peterson that ho didn't care to hear it
nany times more. Mr. Peterson then gave it
ip- its u bad Job , and called Mw. Jennie F.
lolmes , state corresponding secretary and
uperiiitcndent of legislation of the Women's
Christian Tem ) > craiico union. Ho tried
ho same tin-tics Iu this e.xamiua-
ion , and endeavored by argument to
show the court that ho merely wanted to es-
abllsh the fact that there were certain tin-
vritten , but fullv understood , privileges that
ho local association could assume to further
heir ends. The court would not , however ,
idmlt us evidence im.vlhinp assumed outside
if the constitution and by-laws as presented.
Mr. Peteivoli then threw up the sixingo und
uld , "Well , I guess w < ; hud better give It up
mil dismiss the case.1'
The case was consequently nolle prosequied
md the defeated prohibitionists filed sadly
from the courtroom.
Outside they called n meeting , composed of
members of the Women's Christian Tomper-
mcu Union , and the following resolutions
were adopted :

WASHINGTON . D. C. , April 23. )
The senate committee on judiciary has the
house bill for the creation of courts of appeal
in the iudiciary circuits of the United States
under consideration.
The bill us originally passed by the house
provides for the ercutlon of courts of appeal ,
to be presided over by thrco circuit Judges In
the circuit. The site for the Kighth circuit is
fixed for St. Louis , and this Is altogether un
satisfactory to the people of Nebraska and
other states who have given this bill atten
tion , consequently it is proposed to amend by
striking out St. Louis and inserting tlio word
"Omaha. " The amendment will probably bo
favorably reported from the Judiciary com
mittee. If not. Senator P.iddock will move It
on the floor when the bill comes up. Ho has
made n careful canvass among the senators
from all the states embraced within
the Eighth circuit nnd finds that they
arc far moro favorably disposed to Omaha
than to St. Louis , with the exception of the
Kansas and Missouri senators. The former
prefer Kansas City , while the latter natu
rally stick to St. Louis.
The fact that Omaha is the center of the
circuit as it is at present constituted Is a
strong point in favor of the selection of that
city , but tills Is enhanced by the knowledge
that Wyoming will soon bo admitted as a
state and that when admitted this territory
will bo added to the Eighth circuit. Both of
the Nebraska senators are watvhing this mat
ter very carefully and propose to light the
amendment through. They will not got it
without a struggle , but they believe that they
will wiu.
A WIIITI : HOI-SI : n ALL.
The east room of the white house is tonight ,
for the first time in _ many years , since the
time when Nelllo Grant held sway there with
her young friends , the scene of a ball in
which the young people of social and oftlclal
circles speed the fast Hying hours away. The
floor is covered with crash , which is bordered
on every side with a thicltet of palmetto and
foliage plants , giving to the vast apartment
the uppo'irunco of a conservatory. Thu dec
orations of Hags and bunting used last night
at the army and navy reception have been al
lowed to remain with the exception of the
stars and anchors on the mantels , which liavo
been replaced with a massing of lilacs , tulips ,
hyacinths and other spring flowers.
The music , furnished by the stringed
instruments of the Marino band ,
is stationed in the small corridor immediately
adjoining the cast room from which the stairs
lead to the ollices on the second floor. The
red , blue and given parlors , as well as the
inner corridor , are decorated with a few
potted plants , the mantels bankea with flow
ers and grasses and the ehaudaliers are fes
tooned with similax.
The guests were received in the east room
by the. members of the presidential house

The president has remitted the sentence in
the case of Lieutenant James V. S. Paddock
of the Fifth cavalry , charged with making a
false and fraudulent claim against the United
States. Lieutenant Paddock was sentenced
to bo dismissed from the service. The presi
dent , however , while confirming the sen-
teenco states the act was technically of a
character calling for the penalty adjudged ,
but that there was an absence of intention to
commit fraud shown. All the members of
the court recommended clemency on account
of the valuable services rendered by the ac
cused. The president stated that previous
gallant service could not bo accepted as palli
ating violations of the law and it was simply
on account of the evident lack of intent to de
fraud the government that theentiro sentenci
was remitted. Lieutenant Paddock formerly
.served at Fort Nlobraru , Neb. , and was
wounded in the service near that fort.
Tin : TAIIIIT mu
lt Is the intention of Major McICIuley to
take up the tariff bill in the house on Monday ,
the .Mb of May , and allow blx days for gen
eral debate.
The democrats urn objecting to this limit of
the debate and insist that they should have nt
least n week for themselves , but the repub
licans will not allow this and tell them that
as their speeches are only for homo consump
tion they will do just as well to huvo them
printed without delivery.
The tight over the old silver bill has been a
fortunate thing for the tariff tinkers for it
has acted as a counter-irritant and distracted
the attention of a great many representatives
who were loud and earnest In their expres
sions of dissatisfaction with the ways ami
means bill. The demonstrations have only
subsided for the time being , however , and are
likely to break out again whenever the tariff
bill is taken up.

The most Interesting political debate of the
session took pluco In the house this afternoon
and some very spicy remarks were made on
both sides , disclosing wholesome truths and
sionio wisdom. The great light was over the
old question whether members of congress
should have private secretaries at govern
ment expense. Everybody agrees In private
that they should , as Major Buttcrworth
stated In his speech , but there are a large
number of members who ihiro not
say so i public for fear of
the effect upo.i their nominating conventions.
In the committee of the whole there is no
record of the vote ; the ayes and nays are
never called. Questions are decided by viva
voce or a rising vote , and if that is not satis
factory , by passing between the tellers , and
by these votes the resolution to provide heere-
tarlus is always adopted , but when the bill is
reported to the house some ono invariably de
mands that the ayes and naycs bo called and
the cowardly emigrossman runs to cover.

versity of Pennsylvania being at swords'
points with Major Powel , the superintendent
of the geological survey , and Prof. Marsh of
Yuio college , the president of the National
Academy oi Sciences mid other men of equal
rank mid fame. Prof. Cope , however , has to
fight his battles alouo and is 0110 against n
thousand. Ho was formerly connected with
the geological survey and prepared a long
series of rex > rts , setting forth the results of
his scientific investigations 'n ' thu western
territories. Ho also made . very largo col
lection of specimens nt government expense ,
which ho has neglected to turn over to the
scientific museums'Of the government. All
the gentlemen who were associated with
Prof. Cope in scientific researches turned in
the results of their1 work to the national
museum , whore theyaro now on exhibition ,
but his are in his own private collection and
are likely to remain there. The reports of
the professor have novcr been published , be
cause they nro declared to bo incorrect and
unreliable and the manuscript is piled up in
the office of the geological survey. The pro
fessor cume to town today and made his an
nual application to the secretary of the in
terior to have thorn printed at government
expense. The secretary was fully posted on
the subject and In reply ) asked Prof. Cope
when ho intended to turn his scientific speci
mens over to the government. The professor
suid IIP considered them- his personal prop
erty. The secretaryasked if they had not
been collected while he .was in the govern
ment service and if the government did not
pay his expenses whilehe was making the
collection , but the professor did not share this
view of the case.

It is evident , however , that the formation
of the new union has not been productive of

CHICAGO , April 2.1. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Uii : : . ] The Wabash road lins met the
Alton mileage robuto to cattle shippers by re
ducing the present 0 cent cuttle rate from St.
Louis to Chicago to fl1 cents. This meets
the Alton rate only in the regard that it is a
corresponding reduction in revenue. The
Wabash reduction , however , affects every
through rate from every point in Texas , New
Mexico and idl intermediate territory by re
ducing it ! % cents u hundred. The Vaudalla
Is especially Ineenseit at the Wubnsli for the
reduction and has in preparation and threat
ens to put into effect u corresponding reduc
tion on all classes of freight. The Wabash
reduction will also compel a readjust
ment of the Kansas City basis to
meet the through rates now being
quoted over the Wahash. Tito Alton people
profess to bo well pleased at the reduction of
the Wabush. The business is non-paying and
the Alton will only carry what is forced upon
It , leaving its competitors to divldotho losing
trafllc. In addition to the natural loss the
Alton has no such deals as that of the St.
Paul and Atchison with Kansas City eattlo
buyers and that of the Hock Island with the
Burton stock c'ar company. The matter will
be taken up tomorrow at St. Louis by Chair
man Bluiichnrd and an attempt made to agree
on an equalization of all through
rates via , St. Louis and Chicago.
The attempt to equali/.o through rates
via Omaha and St. Paul has apparently fallen
through owing to the fact that eastern lines
refuse to prorate at the Mississippi river via
Omaha on a reduced basis.

burk of the Chicago , St. Paul it Kansas City

old Western" Passenger association could , if
they would , form a strong association regard
less of the Missouri Pacific. It now costs us
much to get to Kansas City from Chicago , via
St. Louis as it did under the old basis and
Mr. liuscnbiirk considers it a ridiculous propo
sition that rates nil .over the territory north
and cast should bo kept at n low basis for the
alleged reason that u line between St. Louis
and Kansas City objects to an advance. Ho
thinks there arc other reasons why an ad
vance iu rates is not made chief of which arc
small matters which should cut no llguro in a
question involving mutters of revenue. At
present there is no attempt on foot to either
reform the association or raise rates in any
direction. * > "

that colony you may now go by rail from
Urisbano in Queensland through to Adelaide

Melbourne , and it Is by this route that the
mails are now sent from Adelaide , where
they are lauded by the I1. & O. steamers , sav
ing many days over the sea voyage in exist

different in each colony and it is now pro
posed to do away with the present numerous
transfers by n uniformity In gauge , though I

commerce Into the reh s of the railroads
of the United States and Canada , and also
whether there is any discrimination in the
charges made for tolls against United States
vessels passing through the Welland and St.
Lawrence canals. The report asserts that
unjust discrimination Is made by Canada
against American vessels on the lakes In the
matter of entrance and clearance fees Ves
sels liaising through the Welland canal
bound to Montreal liavo n robuto made of a
iKirtlou of the tolls paid for canal passage , but
If bound to any American port or to the St.
Lawrence river no rebate Is made. This , the
report claim * , Is a violation of the provisions
of the treaty of Washington.
In conclusion the report says : "Thus It is
that by obtaining narrow margins of profit In
the transportation business hero and there
our competitor on the north has been exploit
ing upon American commerce formauy yours.
It Is doing that very thing on a more high
handed and extensive scale than ever before.
All that Is unnecessary for the government of

cient advantage lu favor of British steamers ,
Canadian fishing vessels and Canadian mil-

"r > i.NVr.lt : , Col. , April 2 ! ! . [ Special Telegram
to Thu Bui : . ] Francis Smith or Newcastle ,
Wyo. , yesterday arrived in town in search of
his missing wife. The woman , whose iiuino
is Ellen Smith , evidently deserted her hus
band for a more attractive mate. The case of
Francis , however , is different from that
which falls to the ordinary lot of forsaken
husbands. His missing spouse is the
mother of only nineteen children ,
and If ho does not llnd her ho
fears the domestic cares which fall on him
would bo too much for Ills strength. He docs
not think , however , that his wife left his domi
cile because she hud too many children , for she
carried her Tuir-hulred ten-year-old son , little
Sammy , away with her. On the contrary ,
Francis maintains that Ellen's lot has
been the happiest and ho is ofthe opinion that
she must have been drugged and forced away
from her homo. At any rate she is gone , and
Mr. Smith prefers to search for Mrs. Smith
rather than stay at homo and mind nineteen
children. Ho has landed in this city and
hopes to bo able to llnd some trace of her
whereabouts.
Although Mr. Smith thinks his partner of
a score of years incapable of unfaithfulness to
him , there Is little doubt that she left her
home in Newcastle In company with some
other man. Indeed , the couple and the child
have been traced to Grand Island , Neb. ,
where the trail was lost. Her seducer is sup
posed to' no an attractive tie cutter who was
smitten with the charms of the middle aged
and many times mother.
Ellen Is said to bo good looking , although
she has reached the ago of forty-eight years.
Her features are dark uud handsome. She is
of medium slzo and dresses tastily in black.
She always got herself lip well and It is
thought that her personal attract ions and well
tried maternal qualities have induced her
lover to run away with her.
