LINCOLN' , Nob. , IJcc. 23. iHpoclnl to THE
BiiK.J Senator Paddock called nt the state
house this afternoon mid piid his respects to
Uovo'rnor Thnyor , Treasurer Hill and other
state ofllcers. The senator Is looking extremely -
tromoly well , mid has Just returned from
Kansas , where ho wont to attend the funeral
of the iato Senator 1'luinb. To a llttlo group
of newspaper reporters in Treasurer Hill's
- ofllco hospolio fcolltiBly of thn death of the
Kansas statc.sinan , and said that In tils de.ith
the west lost ono of the host friends it had iu
public life ,
"Senator Plumb was probably the strong
est advocate ot western Interests In iho
United Stales senate , " snld Senator Pad
dock , "and his death Is n serous blow to the
west. Ho U a strong man , an able man ,
and his intiuonco iu tlio scnato was
over exerted for the people of the western
B talcs. The stuinp of his genius is on it great
many tiKM.surcs that have becti onnctou in
recent yours , and it will bo many years before
fore his place in the senate can bo filled. "
Senator Paddock spoke hopefully of his
ptiro footl bill , now on the senate fllo for the
accouu time. "Tho bill will undoubtedly oo-
come law at this session of congress. " said
tno senator. "I do not anticipate mucn'oppo-
Billon , either in the senate or in the houso.
Last session I endeavored to Imvo the bill at
tached to ono of the appropriation bills , and
would have succeeded had not a motion been
made to substitute the Conner lard bill. As
it was , my bill only lacked ono vote of puss-
ing the somite. "
Referring lo Iho Chilian complications , the
senator remarked :
"Thero lias probably boon as much misrep
resentation about the relation ! ) between the
United States and Chill as about anything
that has como up within recent years. In
the llrst place , the reports sent to ICnglish
newspapers from Irresponsible individuals in
Chill , who are prejudiced against this coun
try and who would bo glad to see Iho two
countries involved in a serious diniculty , are
disturled mid not to bo relied upon in the
least. I Hrmly believe that when the whole
truth is known Minister Egan will
rccolvo u splendid vindication. Hi )
conuuct all through the controversy
has been algnillcd and will , I
fool confident , receive the approbation of the
whole people. As far as the ridiculous re
ports of a difference of opinion in regard to
Chilian affairs existing between the presi
dent and thu secretary of state nro concerned
they are not worthy of the slightest consld-
cra'ion. There has never been a tlmo In the
history of the country when the executive
and state departmonls were moro fully in
accord than they are in regard to Iho present
Chilian complications. "
The senator leaves thlseveninu for Omaha
where ho will look after private interests.
Ho docs not expect to return to thu national
capital until about the lith of January.

case was llrst tried Nush alleged that thu
bonds were voted through misrepresentation
and fraud and that the amount exceeded the

In the trial of Iho case cerlnin parlies were

The discovery was mailobyHuportntondont
BcinJorIT , who had n drill sunk to test , the
solidity of iho foundation. At a depth of
Ilfteeti foot , in nearly the exact center of the
block , the water level wn struck and the
holu filled rapidly ,
lAwtliips for the foundation will co thrco
or four feet below the point at which water
was struck , so ihat the entire found
ation footing ? , according to the preaant plans
for the building , will bo from three to four
fcot below thi ) wrtor level.
This will necessitate ) the pllInR of a largo
portion of the silo and will materially In-
erciiso the cost of the uuilillng.
"U'liat uhall you do In the case now ! " Mr.
Belndorff was asked.
"I shall test the foundation lines in
various places by sinking drills and llnd
out Just how much piling will bo re
quired. The ground is bailer where the
water was found than It is at the northeast
corner of the block and at that place I would
not bo surprised tolind water at even a toss
doplb than lifcon feet. I can not toll yet
what the result will bo and can not yet estl-
niato the increased cost of tbo foundation
work.
The discovery of water on Iho site , verities
the prediction made to the Treasury depart
ment by Mr. Andrew Hosowator several
years ago , when the selection of a postofllco
situ was causing such n bitter . light In the
city.
In speaking of the matter yesterday , Mr.
Uosowatersatd : "When tills matter was ut > ,
I made a report to tuo department at Wash
ington and showed that if Block 8U was se
lected it would bo necessary to pllo the foun
dation. I furnished a.'plat showing the grade
of the atrcots and the water level anu
predicted that watoc would bo found at a
depth of about fifteen feet.
"Friends of the present slto who were in
Washington abused mo roundly for my
part in the affair. They disputed my figures
about the erado , about the water level and
everything olso. The events of today have
shown that my ligures and estimates were
correct as I know they - > roro at the time. It
will bo an expensive foundation for them
now. "

Hornaln quietly athomo until all symptoms
of the discaso disappear , and then when you
go out have the body well clothed and the
feet well protected so that they will remain
dry and warm.
Talto Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as di
rected for a. suvoro cold. If freely taken as
soon as the tlrst symptoms of the disease ap
pear , it will greatly lessen the severity of the
attack , and its continued use will prevent
dangerous consequences , provided , of courro ,
that reasonably good care bo taken of the
general system and to avoid exposure.
For pain in the chest , which is very apt to
appear , saturate a llannel cloth with Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and bind it over thosoat
of pain. It will relieve the pain and porhap'
prevent pneumonia.
This treatment was followed by many
thousands of persons and families during the
winters of 18S9 and 1S9U and was uniformly
succosstul. It greatly lessened the severity
of the attack and prevented pneumonia or
other dangerous consequences.

where the sewers sometimes have a fall of
only an Inch to the block there Is wntor In

have sufficient fall and sewerage does not
remain almost dormant to generate gases.
"Of course , we all know that sewer gas
will rise , but there is no excuse why it
should llnd its way into dwell

is too much politics in the
matter and political dobls are paid by appoint
ments that never should have bcon made
and for which the piitbic , instead of being
bonolltod , has to suffer.
"Wo don't have practical mon , and it too
frequently happens that Inspectors can bo
bought with a cisrar or glass of boer , and the
result is Inspection that don't inspect.
Practical men are needed to have charge of
both the plumbing and building departments ,
and they need honest and capable mon under

Decline and Kail ol' the Dally Kcpuli-
tlcnn Iicln Dotnllod In Court
IV.sthiiitny or the
iMiiintirr.
When United States court was convened
yesterday District Attorney linker nskod
Judge Dundy to dismiss or remove from the
record a batch of cases In which the informa
tion would not Justify prosecution. Between
forty and llfty cases were ramovod from the
docket.
Tlipn the case of the Hopubltcan News
paper company against the Northwestern
Associated 1'ru.ss was called.
This is a case in which the Hopubllcan
Newspaper company , or rather .f. C. Wllcox ,
for ho nppoarc to bo the solo roproiontativo
of the corporation , seeks to recover $ . " > 0,000
damncos on account of the refusal of the
Northwestern Associated I'ross to fur
nish the tciographlo service after the pauor
had been suspended nearly four mouths.
The aUonioyi for the plaintiff are Brock-
enrldgo , Breekwiridgo and Crofoot , mid for
the defendant , Sitnurnl. ( Irocn and Hall. In
stating the case to the Jury Mr. Brockcnridgo
said that they should prove that Major Wll-
cox had paid the association dues for the telegraphic -
graphic service after the paper had sus
pended , and intended to resume publication
but was prevented from doing so by the ro-
fuaal of the Aasocihtad Press to furnish the
telegraphic service. Ho claimed that they
.should prove that the cancellation or the Re
publican franchise was the final death blow
to the paper.
Mr. Simoral stated the case from the do-
fondaul'.s standpoint. He spoke of the days
when the Omaha Hopublican had business
and editorial ability at its head. Following
the history of ttio paper Irom the days of
Nye and Yost down to its ilnal purchase by
J. C. Wilco.vMr. . Simoral said that the
paper undnr the management of Wllcox
could not for a moment bo compared
with ius former solf. Ho said that .Mnjoi1
Witcnx had no definite or saltled policy. Ho
ran thd-pap-irngooddoalltko n lightning bug
llrst In ono direction and then in nnolhor.
Nobody know what the shoot would bo likely
to ndvocato in its next issuo. The business
end of the concern , Mr. Simoral held , was
just about a. < cru/y and unreliable under the
\Vilcox management as the editorial depart
ment was.
At the tlmo of suspension , the attorney
said , there were 114 attachment suits lilod
against the Hopublican newspaper company
and the suspension and deatirof the Republi
can was the result of poor management and
the inability of the proprietor to pav the mon
who did the work and ether legitimate ex
penses connected with the management of a
newspaper.
Mr. Charles U.'con stated the law points In
the case , to which the Judge and jury gave
very close attention.
MajorI. C. Wllcox was the first witness
placed upon the witness stand. Ho tostiliod
to the fact , that ho had purchasad the Omaha
Hopublican newspaper. His attorney pro
duced certllicates issued by the Associated
Press to the proprietors of the Omaha Uo-
piiblican. One certificate was Issued in 1800
aud the other was issued in 18SO. Upon the
face of the certificate issued in IbSO , in small
type , was printed a section of the by-laws
stating that no membership certlllcato of
stock could be considered valid when trans-
forrtd unless that transfer was approved by
the board of directors and so cntorod upon
the records of the association.
Attorneys for the defense objected to the
introduction of these certificates , because it
could not bo shown by the plaintiff that the
tramler to Wilt-ox luid ever been ratitlod and
recorded by the Associated Press. Judge
Dundy .sustained the objection. Ho said to
tbo plaintiffs attorney ,
"Unless you can show that this transfer
from the former owners of the Hepubllc.iii to
Wilcox was approved by > .hu board of di
rectors of the Associated 1'ro.ss , in compli
ance ivith the by-laws , you are gone. That's
the way 1 loolc at It. "
"I don't think so , " said Mr. Brcckenridgo.
"You don't have to , " replied the judge
dryly , and a ripple of laughter wont round
the room.
The witness detailed the incidents con
nected with the collapse ot the Hapublican ,
and said that about December , 189) ) , ho
went to Mr. Hiclurdson , president of tha
Northwestern Associated Press , and offered
him $1,100 to resume the dulivory to the
Republican Newspaper company of Iho tele
graphic pervico , but Mr. Hichardson refused
to comply with Iho rc < iuon. Ho said Mr.
Hichardson informed him that the franchise
formerly hold by the Omaha Hopublican
had been canceled by the board of directors.
Wilcox said the same tender of money was
made to William Henry Smith , president of
the Associated Press , and a demand was
made upon him for tbo dispatches. Ho also
refused to agree to furnish the dispatches.
The witncHS stated that the refusal of the
Associated Press to furnish the dispatches
destroyed the franchise and made it impossi
ble to resume the publication of the Daily
Hopublican
