A newspaper published an article last
evening in which it was stated thnt there
was serious trouble in the First Baptist
church on account of a failure of thu pastor.
Hov. LA. . Hall , to jibe with some of the
members. A couple of prominent members
were excluded at the covenant meeting night
before last , and according to the newspaper
report the expulsion was caused by the vic
tims having told some of the church secrets.
A prominent member was aslced last evening
what ground th'iro was for this report. In
reply he said :
"Tho reason for the expulsion was simply
that the parties refused to stay lu the church.
About a week ago thuy got up in meeting
and denounced the pastor and most of the
members , statiutr that they never could have
any feelings of fellowship for them any moro.
They then asked for letters of dismission.
Of course , after such statements as they had
made about the other members wo could do
nothing but exclude them. "
Uev. Hall's affable manners have secured
for him many warm friends in the church
and iii the community as well , whllo his out
spoken way has stirred things up In the
church anil made an enemy now and then out
of some ono who disliked to hear the truth.
As a whole , however , tbo church Is , united
and all rumors of a prospective split are
denied by the members.

Ed Manor and Frank Carroll were to have
had a hearing in police court yesterday
moraine on the charge of gambling had it
not been fora motion for a continuance which
was made by Ucorgo A. Holmes , their
attorney , and granted by Judge McGco. In
bis argument Mr. Holmes stated that the
defense of his clients would bo that they had
been arrested previously on the same charge
and had been discharged by order of. the
chief of police. They accordingly thought
they would bo allowed to proceed with the
game so they commenced operations again.
In speaking of the affair Chief Cary
stated to a reporter yesterday that ho had
not ooen so anxious to arrest men of the
Manor-Carroll .stripo us.ho used to bo , from
the fact that whenever they were arrested
they were always turned loose. Ho stated
that when the the two men were arrested ho
was Informed by ono of his captains , that
they were selling whips and pens and giving
cacti purchaser n chance in n lottery prize
drawing. Ho sent word to thoofllcer as soon
as ho learned this , not to place the charge of
gambling against them , and they were dis
charged.

THE MIKK UVItKAU Of CI IJ.US.
\Vlio Compos Its Counsel and How
It Is
About sixty days ago a new departure was
inaugurated by the San Francisco Examiner ,
now the leading paper on tha coast. Its pro
prietor , Mr.Iearst , son of the late Senator
Hearst of California , who has a very la'go
fortune at his command , conceived the idea
of establishing a bureau of claims at Wash
ington , manned by the ablest lawyers
and specialists conversant with the routine
woric In thu various departments and bureaus
of the government.
When the nnnounccmntof this now depart
ure was made negotiations were at once en
tered into between Tin : BII : and the proprie
tor of the Examiner to Join hands and mu
ually share In the enterprise. These ar-
rangumuntH huvo bcui : perfected and agree
ments entered into by which TUB lin : | s to
prosecute all claims nrrUInc in the territory
where Tin : Br.u enjoys so extensive a sub
scription patronise.
Under this agreement all applications for
claims , either for pensions , Indian depreda
tions , land or mining chums , patent or pos
tal claims in the states of Iowa , Kansas ,
South Dakota and Nebraska , will bo taken
In hand by TIIK BEE Bn.tuu or CLAIMS in
Omaha und through it fowardod to head
quarters at Washington whcro they will be
prosecuted to a tinal and speedy conclusion ,
TIIK BIE : takes pleasure In offering to all
its patrons and particularly to subscribers to
TIIK WKIKI.V : BLE , the services of Its new
bureau which , we have no doubt , will prey o
of gruit advantage tq thorn , both in prosecu
ting new claims to a succo.ssful issuu and in
expediting all claims entrusted to Tun Bii : :
bureau.
TIIK BKI : BUUK\U or Ct. UMJ baa frequently
b3 ( > n referred to in thuso columns , but up to
the present time , no reference tus boon made ,
to the manner in which its important work 1st
performed. Ttils is ouo of the mo interest
ing features connected with the iwtcrprUo ,
The Iliir ; iu'H COIIIIHI ; ! .
To begin with , tbo services of three most
eminent councilors huyo Leou retained.
Those are A. I. . . Hughes , A , E. Wcllcr , and
I' . J. Butler. They are denominated "gen
eral counsel. " Thov arc'men ; of mature
years and learned in lr $ law , They have
made a specialty of practising In the
the United States suprcmoy circuit and dis
trict courts , tlio United Statescourtof claims
flnd before all the departments and bureaus
of tbo government. Tlttyjnre qualified to
pass upon the general mcrltjf of any claim as
soon as it is presented. This save * a great
deal of time , because , when n claim has been
passed upon by thorn , It Is generally one
which is entitled to n standing in court.
When a claim U rejected1 by them , it menus
that it is cither outlawed or that It lacks cer
tain elements which would load to its final
approval , , <
Kxiimlitcrs mid l < ? xpertH.
Besides these gentlemen thnro nro also n
practising attorney , an examiner and expert
in each department in which Tnu Br.K pro
poses to prosecute claims , namely , those of
patents , pensions , postal und land claims and
Indian depredations , in fact In any depart
ment In wnlch a claim may arise ugalnst the
federal government. These attorneys pre
pare the petitions and tend to the claims be
fore the several courts , whllo the examiners
and experts make u specialty of searching the
records and arranging the evidence neces
sary to strengthen the claim ,
g The gentleman charged with this duty re
garding Indian depredations has boon the nt-
listant chief examiner of these claims in the
ndinn bureau of the Interior department for
many years. HU comprehensive Hiowledgo
of details , facts , status of and evidence in
the cases heretofore filed or the outbreaks
out of which others yet to bo filed have
arisen , renders his services extremely valu
able.
able.Then there is n general manager , John
Wedderburn. Fur years he was private sec
retary to Senator Hearst , thu father of lion.
William Hearst , the projector of the present
enterprise. He has ids > o been for years the
Washington correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Examiner , with which TUB BIE : is no v
co-operating. Ho is a man of universal In
formation and is especially adapted to the
responsible position ho now holds.
Than this force nolio moro capable could
bo found in the country. Its services have
been retained at great expense by the
bureau , the salaries alone reaching ut the
present time ? l,8l ( ( ) per month.
As has been stated , the San Francisco Ex-
innlnur inaugurated the enterprise , and
through It Tlli : DISK was allowed to establish
its bureau for tbo accommodation of claim
ants in South D.ikota , Iowa , Nebraska und
Kansas. This privilege was first , of all the
papers In the country , extended to Tin : BKI : ,
because of its known pluck , enterprise and
energy.
The undertaking , however , has at
tracted so much attention throughout
the country and been so greatly appreciated"
by old soldiers , Indian victims , and dofruudod
government claimants , that leading papers
elsewhere have asked to bo admitted to
enjoy the privileges of the bureau. Among
those papers there is n leading ono In Minnesota
seta and others In Boston , Cincinnati , St.
Louis , Atlanta and Now Orleans. It is
thought that Mr. Hearst , the proprietor of
The Examiner , and the gentleman who In
augurated the system , will grant the applica
tion.
CInimH Coining In.
TIIR BEI : CLAIM BL'IICAU has not been in
existence ono month and yet it has listed
Indian dcpridution claims aggregating
$8' > , l)00 ) and the aniou.it is being con
stantly added to. .This is a remark-
ublo showing , and yet it U but a fraction of
thu claims which remain Unrecorded und un
paid In the state ? controlled by Tin : BEI :
Bt'HCAU or CI.UMS , namely , South Dakota ,
NebrasKa , Iowa and Kansas.
On March U , of this year , an act for the
payment of Indian depredation claims was
approved. To this act , it is neces
sary to direct the attention of every
claimant who has suffered ut the hands of
Indians. This refers to those victims whose
claims huvo already been Hied as well us to
these who still contemplate filing thorn. Up
to the datu in question , thousands of
sufferers had filed theirclaims with attorneys
in all parts of the country ana were in most
cases charged excessive fees. Many of the
claims , too , had been pending for years.
SntUllcd that , in many cases , the claimants
had contracted with the attorneys in ques
tion and , wittout fear of prosecution for
annulment , could not transfer their claims to
other ugunts or attorneys' who might expedite -
dito the collection , 'congress unucrtook to
afford the desired relief. This it did in the
act in question.
Auniilliiif ; Exorbitant Contracts.
Jurisdiction in t hesp matters was trans
furred to the court of claims where the ser
vices of au attorney are Indispensable. Under
this law , all agreements made by claimants
with attorneys , prior to March 'J , 18111 , are
expresslv declared null and void. This was
dotio as has been intimated to release claim
ants from exorbitant fee contracts.
Every claimant is , tncrcforo , free to em
ploy as his attorney whomsoever ho p'eases.
Under these circumstances , it would appear
to bo to the advantage of every person hav
ing a claim to place the same with the bu
reau guaranteed by such a reliable and re
sponsible paper as TIIK BEE , rather than
with unknown parties.
The disappointed attorneys whom the law
in question has deprived of exorbitant fees
have boon flooding the country threatening
their former clients with suit should they
take their claims from them and place them
in the bands of other attorneys. But this
should not discourage claimants , because an
act of congress is paramount to any and all
agreements entered into with nny attorney
prior to the timu named in the said law.
To Ucuovor To Indian DcprudationH
Parties desiring to avail themselves of the
benefits of thu act in Question re

tion bearing , upon the case us they may
possess.
Upon receipt of this simple information ,
Tin : 11 UK BL-UKAU or CLAIMS will Immediately
attend to the more Intricate or dilllctilt por-

But Indian depredation claims are not the
only ones which TUB BKI : BUHKAU or

the scales. They tipped tlio beam
lit exactly seven pounds. Then ho
placed twonty-ono fresh sheets
on the scales and found that they
weighed but four pounds and four
ounces. Thus tlio Hies were bhown to
weigh two pounds and twelve ounces.
He next commenced to figure on the
matter and found that there were twenty

each sheet Had H.ili r-quaro Inches and
