IIo also announced that the Hclfensteln fcasci would bo taken up 03 soon as the Jury was empanelled nnd suggested that ns many of thu defendants as bnd not already done so , combine and have all the crises tried at once in order to dispose of them. "JftbU Is not done , " remarked the Judge dryly , "no ono living nt the present tlmo can toll bow long It will take to try thorn. " The plaintiff's counsel said the plalnlirt was ready and willing tomako any arrange ment for expediting matters and cited rut- thorltlcs for making test cases where the Issues involved wcro Identical. Another of tha counsel for the plaintiff informed the court Hint , arrangements had been mrulo to try two or three cases and let the luw points hold in all tlio other cases , and a stipu lation to that effect would bo tiled. The court then announced that it would listen to motions in cases on the docket. In the case of Btirnham , Tulloys & Co. , against I ) . 1C. Valentino , Judgement wns en tered for plaintiff by default. This was n case ot foicelosuro on proportyln WostPoint , the amount involved being ahout $1,800. The doftwlcnt had sot up the plea of non-Jurlsdto- tlon because the amount involved was loss thtin > , < XW , but the court decided that it bad Jurisdiction nnu cited , as authority for this rul ing , the decision of the late Justice Miller in a similar caso. Judge Dundy said this wns Contrary to his Judgement of the matter , but us the supreme Judge of this circuit hnd so decided he felt bound to abldo by that decis ion until his ruling was sot asldo by'tho su preme court.

As appears from above , there Is a prospect that thju Ilclfcnstoln case will bo at length reached lu the United States court. The case Is regarded by some as com plicated , hut is set forth plainly in the follow ing statement by ono of the oldest citizen : and ono of the best Informed gentlemen 01 : the subject in Omaha : ' 'Tho so-called Ilclfcnstoln claim date : t back to the year 1857. It originated In t Claim of Ilolfcnatohi , Gore & Co. , a wholesale grocery house of St. Louis , against Roberl Shields. Shields built the store building on i Fnrimm strcot now occupied by John Caul Held , and did business thero. IIo owed Hoi fenstolnGoro & Co.u , small amount forgoods , Ho was sued by the latter In 1807. who ob taincd n Judgment against him in 1853. Ex ecution was issued on the undivided halt ol 100 acres ol' laud la the north part of the city , lying between Sherman avenue on the east and Kaundors street on the west.Shiolds having ' /reviously aold the other undivided half. The interest levied upon by Holfon- Blo'ii ' , Gore & Co. was sold nt sheriff's sale in July , 1858 , nnd bought In by that firm foi fOu. There wns only ono bouso on the land nt that tlmo. nnd thnt was where Shields lived. That Identical house Is still standlnp or was n year or two ago , on the west sldo ol Klghtoenth strcot , near Grace , and is owned by John W. Givln , the contractor. "Shields entered this land , that la , pur chased It from the government under the provisions ot the pro-cmptlon law , which pave to the first bona-fldo settler the rights to buy the land at 81.35 per ncro. ' About 1659-GO , the land had Increased It raluo to such an extent as to bring on lltlga tlon by parties who thought they saw i chnnco to got it away from Shields. HI : entry wns attacked. Ho was charged wltl fraud , etc , , and his entry was cancelled nm the land ordered by the commissioner of tin poneml land oftlco to bo sold to the highes bidder. It was accordingly sold at auction. E. "V Smith bought thu eighty seres comprised li his addition to the city , and Gilbert 0 Moncll the other eighty acres. As the lain Increased in value the litigation Increased It seems that the uncertainties of the lav , were us great then as now. Tbo purchases o K. V. Smith and Moiu'll were cancelled am - Vho Shields entry reinstated. Then the ens went into the United States circuit court where the Shields entry was again cancollci nud the entries of Smith and Moncll rein 'Btatod. An appeal wns then taken to th supreme court of the United States , pondiui which the whole matter was settled pei mancntly. "Helfonstcln was n party to the suit nm Ills claim was adjusted with the others. Thi was nearly thirty years ugo. It was consid orcd a final settlement by nil parties. Th land was then laid out iu additions to th city. The lots sold nnd Improved nnd the entire tire tract Is now nearly covered with build lugs. Tlio Holfenstoln suits commence Within the last year or two have not th slightest foundation in Justice or equity bu throw a cloud over the tltlo to the prcsen owners , mid a largo price , proportionate ) t the ability or credulity of the owner I charged for n release or cancellation of th pretended claim. It Is a very prolltnblo bus : , , ness for Hclfensteln or his lawyers and w ! doubtless continue to bo until the cases cube bo reached in court. Ono owner paid $ J.OO for a release some tlmo since , being forced t do It to complete n salo. " Tlio liitorostotl Ones.

The identity of "Jack , the Ripper'1 remain ! undiscovered , so wo do not know whatim < polled him to the commission of his atrocious crimes. Llttlo doubt ho was insane , hi : actions controlled by an abnormal condllloc of the mind ; it h plain none ot the ordinary reasons f or orimo prevailed In his caso. H < was , peuhaps , n victim , of some hereditary taint , which drove him to acts against which his tvill revolted and from which , In his rational moments , bis soul recoiled la horror , A French novelist of realism makes th < hero of n late tiovol of such a character. He was a locomotive engineer , a thorougly com petent and reliable man ; but If he chanced to behold tbo white throat of a woman , i wild phrcnzy sel/od him ; ho could not con trol a dcslro to plunge a knlfo Into It. IIo was aware of his infirmity , fought I with stubborn will , denied himself the so cloty of women , and for years coutrolloi himself. At last ho meets his fate ; Hnd ; pleasure In her society , with no return of hi : old longing for blood , until ho Hatters him self ho is safe. But ouo night she mocti him with gleaming throat bare ; the uncontrollable trollablo impulse seizes him ; bo cannot'ro sistassho throws her loving arms ubou him ho thrustq the knlfo Into her neck , am falls , a victim to the madness of talntct blood. Fortunately for the victims of onllnnrj forms of inherited disease , they may protco themselves bcforo It obtains dominance ii the system. Inherited Kidney disease i especially dangerous , but may ha success fully resisted. "In 1SS3 I was so near death' door with a Inherited and complicated case o Brlpht's disease , " writes James H.

SKELETON OF A RIGHT MND , Strange Discovery of a St. Louis Man in a Montana Porest. STILL CLUTCHED THE FLINT LOCK , The Search of Two Men Tor the Lost Dovll'B HonfMIno and the Tragic Story Connected Tlicro- wltli. Ilonry Gorinloy , at present boarding at No. 221 south Main street , has la his possession a map and travelers' guido of , ho United States printed in the year 1832 , The rollo Is doubtless worth considerable siderableinonoy not only on account of is ago , but because of tlio thrilling story inked to it , says the St. Louis Globo- Dcmocrixt. Mr. Qromloy has had the map framed for preservation , and considering the number of years that have cast thole rust upon it it Is remarkably well kept. The paper of statistics and directions found with It , however , 1ms not fared BO well. Frcat blotches of brown nro strewn over its surface , nnd in many of the folds tlmo has eaten the fiber com pletely nway. The map is styled "Mitchell's Travelers' Guido Through the United Stntcs : A map of the roads , distances , steamboat and canal routes , by J. n. Young S. Augustus Mitchell , Phllndolpnla , 1832. " It Is in two colors , Croon ana red , the latter being the body of the plat and the former the state lines. At once the examiner uncon sciously looks for the western half ot the map. But it is of the United States as they wore then and not ns they are known now. Missouri is the far west. "West of Missouri is a blank marked neither with nvor , county lines nor state divisions , and , from the north ern boundary of Mexico ( which rlsos as high as Texas does now ) , to the unknown wastes of Grout Britain's possessions , it is named the territory of Missouri. Ar kansas is a territory and Nebraska , Indian territory nnd Kansas have no place upon the map. Almost the whole of Missouri , Minnesota nnd Wisconsin arobiUTon of distinguished landmarks , nnd the battle grounds of 1812-M4 are down in bold black typo upon the irreg ular outline of Louisiana. St. Louis , Chicago , Indianapolis , St. Paul and Cincinnati are moro hnmlcts , ns indi cated , by their insignificant dots , and the largest cities nro Now York , Phila delphia , Boston , Baltimore and Charles ton. Crossing and rccrosslng the map's surface , especially in the eastern states , are the public toll roads , taking the place of the present network of rail roads , and marked in jagged lines on the waterways in and about the states nro the steamship routes from place to placo. The statistical record of the bygone days is oven moro interesting' to "study than the map. The union had then , it assorts , 12,852,858 parsons living1 within its borders. In this population there wore C.831,078 white males ; 5,170,151 white females ; 153,443 free male black ; 100,133 free foraalo blacks ; 1,012,822 male slaves and 006,228 female slaves. Missouri hnd 140,074 people then as against 50,686 in the your 1820 ; 19,783 ; in 1810 , and none in 1800. Jefferson City is the only town Of prominence , and seems contending for supremacy with thriving Capo Girardcau. Who the original owner of the guide was and how ho came to leave it in the wilds of Montana ( where Sir. Gormloy ound it ) Is a subject for speculation. Mr. Gormloy , however , holiovos , that ho can trace It to un unfortunate minor who dlod back in tha early 50s while en gaged in u frenzied hunt for a lost mine. In personal nppoaranco Mr. Gormloy IE above the medium height , sandy haired and bearded , and indicates in his every movement the possession of sinews ol stool. Ho talks fluently , uses good lan guage , and owing to a peculiar ornost' ness of manner impresses ono with im plicit belief in all his statements. Yes terday afternoon ho told the following interesting story of the "find" and the tragic death of lloraco Thompson : "It was last May , " began Air. Gorin loy , "and I was chopping timber In Chouteau county , Montana. "Wo had moved our camp several times during the spring , each tlmo passing doepei into the pine woods and getting farthoi and farther nway from civilization , On the day I made this discovery we must have boon at least twenty-five miles from a house. The weather wat beautiful. Just sharp enough to send the blood singing through your volm and adding enough strength to youi arms to send the nxoau inch deeper ink the bark than on a mlle afternoon. I was alone , but away oil In the woods to the right and loft of mo the faint chuck chuck , chuck of the other boys' axes could bo heard , scarcely louder than the tapping of n woodpecker. "I had started on my third trco sinct dinner. It was a plno , like all the others , and something over four fee through. As I stopped up nnd scannoi it I failed to notice that it was hollow but at the first stroke found that out But the reverberation given out wns sc dull that I judged the hollow to bo vori small and of no consequence I struck it again , am as the axo-blado bedded itscl in the wood a fat squirrel leaped out o the trunk through un aporaturo about a : big as a good-sized biscuit. * A ncstl' ' . ' exclaimed beneath my breath ; 'wo'll soi to that1 ! and I at once sot to work wld onlng the cavity , meanwhile keeping i bright eye out for whatever might nt tempt to escape. "Tho chips flow lively nnd the lioli grow largo enough to introduce one' head. I noticed then that the wood cut ol was nothing but bark grown Inward will the aging of the tree , which doubtlos would have completely covered the hoi if given years enough. Suddenly I drop jjcd my oxo to the ground and thrust nr hand Into the hollow. There , lying at th' bottom , on a soft bed of decaying wood was a sheet of paper neatly folded. In I was the map nnd guide , exactly as yo see it now , and they had uuroly been li that tree forty or llfty yours. I3ut tin papers were not the only articles lockci in that natural safe. "Leaning against the wall , muzzle ti ] as though placed tholr by its owner , wa un old flintlock musket , such as ou grandfathers sighted at Now Orleans And clinging to the barrel was some thing whiter than the papers. This ol jcct rattled as I grasp the gun and si ! down the iron tube until It foil ever in fingers. "It was the skeleton of a right hnni "I didn't do much more work that ii tcrnoon. I bore ray treasures otT t camp and there examined them. Yo BOO for yourself whet the travelers'guid is , and as for the musket , it did nc differ materially from thousands of othc old shooting irons. However , filed int the barrel , not many inches from th muzzle , were the letters II. E. T. , ov dontly the Initials of the owner. Pee follo\vt Ills right liand had gripped that weapon unto death. Even death was powerless to wroribh tlmt musket from him. IIo meant to Inko U with him Into that strange Hind unknown to us nnd protect his spirit with H thoro. At least forty , nnd pl-obably fifty yenrs that bond , gun nnd guide hnd lain In the troo. I tun euro of that , for the ingrow ing bark that covoped the hole must have tnkon that lotagth of tlrao to bceomo ni I found It. "And I bdllovo I know the unfortu nate who lost his handt As I told of my find in camp that night ono of the boys , who had boon in Montana several years , gave the history of two men's uoarch for the lost Devil's ' IIooFinlno : 44 'Few know of the existence of this nugget pocket , and ns the early years of the gold times passed aivuy , the people possessing the secret died ono by ono until a patriarchal Indian wns the last loft. lie died , and in dying gnvo the Irch-bark map of his location to a oung trapnor who watched nt his cathbed. This trapper was Horitco 'hompson , who had come to tlio sunset and , llko many others , for fame and ortuno from the east 344 'As soon ns the old red man was do- ontly burled Thompson took a friend nto his confidence , nnd together they ot out to find Devil's Hoof mine. But ho confidence that Thompson gave his ompanion wns but parti.xl. Ho steadily of used to allow tlio ether a sight of the lap , and In other than general terms pOKO not of the mine's whereabouts , " 'Thoy left mankind far 16 the south nd .westward nnd rode on for many ays. Thompson's friend grow Busplc- ous ns they ncarcd their destination , nil nt length resolved to got the mop. lo feared that when tlio gold was really ound thnt Thompson would desert hi m nd allow him to dlo In tlio wilderness. Mioy hnd an altercation , but Thompson got the bettor of the mutineer. Fired or revenge , the ether hold his pence for omo days until his chance should como. 't came at lost. 44 'Ono evening Horace announced heir journey about completed. As there vas an extra gun and a number of ether isoloss articles in their packs , they do- idod to hide them nway for the lime joing , and perhaps got tliotu on tlioir eturn trip. A hollow tree was found , und Thompson , on hltj hands and knees , received the nrticlcs from his comrade tvnd placed thorn , ono by ono , in the holo. \s ho took the musket nnd wns setting t inside , the traitor raised a pick in the lir nnd brought It down with terrific orco upon the doomed Thompson. The jroat spike was driven through skull ind brain , and Horace , died. 44 'Hastily gathering their belongings nto one pack , the fulso friend sot off , if tor robbing tlio kneeling dead of the ) irch-barlj map. 44 'Hut the murderer never found Jovil'fl Hoof mino. IIo was set upon by i pang of white nnd rod outlaws nnd dllcd. But before djing ho confessed its crime to ono of the Indians , who ir turn told the story to a trader. The nine lias never boon discovered yet. ' "That is the yarn , " concluded Mr. romlpy. "I am confident that H. K. T. stands for Horace 1C. Thompson.

Mr. Fred Walter , the local agent of th < Anhouscr-Busuh brewing association , died it his thirty-fourth year at his late residence 017 Wlrt street , Sunday morning about ! o'clock. Ho had been sick for loss than i week , and , though a nuuibor of his friend : lnow that ho was seriously indisposed , thi announcement of his death pave them nshocl such as they never experienced before. In deed , when the news circulated through thi city , there was not nti Individual who liai known the deceased in lifo who did neat at iirst doubt the authenticity of tin rumor. The deceased hnd been so stout strong , licurty and indeed so much the plcturi of health ttmt It etmld "liot bo believed tha ho had been stricken so suddenly. And ye the Information was well founded. The pool follow passed away in agony at the tlmi mentioned , his death bed beingsurroundei at the time with his wife , family and sym pathetic friends. The cause of Mr , Walter's death was r cold contracted last Saturday a wcok. Hi drove to Papllllon , thence to Spring field , theneo to Gretna and finally home , i distance of about seventy miles. A chillhif browse nroso toward evening. Mr. Waltcrhai no heavy covering and when ho reachec his rcsidcnco ho complained of nbdomlnn pains. These increased , causing him oxcos slvo pain which was relieved only by death Mr. Walter was born In St. Louis when his parents and several brothers nnd sister still reside. Ho had been long conncctet with the wholesaling and manufacture o candles and , at the solicitation of Mr Georuo Krug the general ngcnt of tin Anheusor-Busch brawl up association oC St Louis eamo to this city to act as local man arjer for tiat ( corporation. The headquarter : of tlio company were then located 01 the south-cast corner of Cap ! to avenue nnd Ninth street. Shortl ; after Mr. Walter's arrival , a siti was selected nt the corner of Thirteenth am Jones streets , upon which larger building : and warehouses were subsequently erected. Under his administration the interests o the corporation have greatly extended and li their furtherance Mr. Walter came into con tact with hundreds of people of this city wltl whom ho Immediately became most popular Ho had a erndous nnd kindly disposition which attracted everybody to him and whlcl always led him to bo sought after in convivn gatherings. As n business man he was studiously dc voted to the association which ho ropresentei nnd his word was as good as the most solurai of promises. His heart was centered in his family , am every comfort which ho could supply wa provided for them.
