LIXCOLV , Neb. , Fob. 13. | Spooml to THE
BBE.I The democratic Jubilee to bo held In
this city next Monday mny possibly moan a
great donl inoro th n the mon who nro workIng -
Ing to make It a success care to tiuvo known.
At the domonstrntlon to cclobrato tbo res-
surrcctlon of the democratic party It U ox-
pootoJ to start a Ronorul movement for nn
extra session of the Icglslaturo with tlio
ultlmato object of forming a coalition of the
democratic and independent parlies of tlio
stats. Most of the Independent members of
the legislature find all of the democratic
members nro expected to DO bore , ntid an ef
fort will-bo made to come to sumo sort of nn
understanding.
A prominent state ofilclnl said today : "I
bollcvo that nn understanding has boon ar
rived at between the leaders of tbo demo
cratic nnd Independent pirtlos. This under
standing Is In the imturo of an agreement to
unlto the strength of the two parties this
coming fnll Tno domocrnts nsk for
at least half of the presiden
tial electors. In return for tlioso
they are willing to couccdo to the independ
ents the state ofllces nnd the United States
senator. As a part of this understanding nn
extra session of the legislature will bo called
for the purpose of cementing tlio bonds be
tween tbo two parties , A maximum ruto
bill will bo passed and the state will bo reap-
porlloncd Into legislative districts. The ne
cessity for Mlchlimnl/tng the state will bo
avoided by such n coalition.
Tbo editorial In yesterday's Issue of the
Farmers Alliance In favor of an extra session
Is pointed to as an Indication that some such
an agreement as outlined abovohas boon con
summated. It Is believed by close observers
of the situation that n conference will bo hold
here next Monday In.which the matter of an
extra .sohsion will bo thoroughly gone over.
One of tlio main objects of the presence of so
many distinguished democrats Is to bring a
pressure upon tlio wavering ones who are
still doubting the advisability of calling an
extra session.
An Independent' * Vlivr.
A loading member of the Independent party
was at tbo slate house today. The fact that
ho was a member of the cnnto last winter
gives his views on tbo suojoct of an extra
session a xvclght that they might not other
wise possess. Hoferring to the question of
an extra session , ho said :
'There may bo an extra session. Tbat Is a
matlor that rests entirely with Governor
Boyd. But let mo toll you that If Governor
Boyd expects the Independent majority In
tbo legislature to rcassomblo and pass a max
imum rate bill loss sweeping in Us provisions
than the Newborry bill , ho Is most wofully
mistaken. The independent majority in tbo
last legislature passed a bill that embodied
their views on the railroad question. Gov
ernor Boyd saw lit to veto that bill. Wo are
still holding tbo snmo views , and tbo agita
tion In frwor of better freight rates belongs
to us as a part of our campaign , \Vo would
bo foolish us members of a political party to
come togetbor In extra session and deliber
ately destroy our ammunition before wo
como within ran go of tbo ecomy. "
' Lending Lincoln Democrat * Opposed.
With a vlow to ascertaining tbo sentiments
of the loaders ot tlio democratic party heroin
Lincoln upon the in at tor , THE BUB representative
sentative- called upon snvoral of thorn and
asked the question , "Aro you in favor of an
extra sessional"
Hon. N. S. Harwood answered emphati
cally that ho for ono was not In favor of aa
extra session. "An extra session , " said he.
"is a aangorous political " weapon. I think it
would , bo poor"politics and extremely innd-
Yisable > . "
Hon. .1. H. Ames replied : " 1 cannot see
what could bo gained by an extra session
and there might be much to loso. I think
such a soMslon would bo inadvisable from a
political standoolnt. "
Hon. A. J. Sawyer was also opposed to an
extra session. His views coincided with
those expressed abovo.
Other democrats ot'Liacoln hold or have
hold to tbo same lows , and U is for tbo pur
pose of bolstering up the faith of these
doubting spints that so much slrets is
placed upon the importance of ussombllng as
many of the faithful as poaslblo in this city
qext Monday.
Important ( JiiuKtlon Itulxcil.
An Important and far-reaching question ,
involving the constitutionality of tbo stuto
banking law adopted in 18ST. was raised In
the supreme court today by John L. Webster
and Henry D. Estnbrook. The right of the
supreme court to appoint receivers under the
bunking act Is directly attacked. On August
20 , 18111. the State Banking Board directed
Bank Examiner Garber to make an examina
tion of tbo affairs of the Exchange bam : of
Mllllcan. As a result of that examination
Mr. GarDer reported that tbo bank bad boon
conducting Its business In un unsafe and un
authorized manner , and that the Interests of
the depositors were being Jeopardized. Upon
tlio finding of the examiner the attor
ney ceneral made application to the supreme
court for a roceivor. On August 29
a receiver was appointed nnd since that time
tbo affairs of the bank have bocn practically
wound up. Wltblii a few days , however , a
claim for W.OOO was Hied by E. A. Blpelow
& Co. Today Bicoloxv & Co.'s attorneys ,
Messrs. Webster and Estabrook , filed pipers
attacking the Jurisdiction of the supreme
court in the cuso of the State of Nebraska vs
the Exchange bank of Miilican. They
assort that tho.jromo ; court bus no power
to make ni y ruling or finding under thb
bankb' ? inw for the reason that that law
confer * upon the court original Jurisdiction
in matters not contemplated bv the constitu
tion. The importance of the case will be
readily soon when Ills stated that unaor tbo
operations of tbo banking act In question
nearly thirty ban us In the state have been
closed up and placed In the hand ? of re
ceivers appointed by the supreme court.

The liability of a railroad company for

1H1M nt WI7 , : Hr .
For months the park commissioners luvo
boon besieged by owners of land adjacent to
the city with propositions to soil cortiln
tracts at very liberal prices.
Finally tbo board agreed upon n schedule
and made its recommendations to tbo city
council. The latter body laid the matter
over thirty days , presumably to glvo other
land owners further opportunity to bid.
Conflicting opinions nro oxpnmed as to
the prices put upon these tracts by bidders.
Some claim that most of the bids ore tiigh
whllo others hold that they are based on the
market values ol the lands.
A list of the proposals tngothor with tbo
assessed valuatlou of the property is pre
sented below :
Block II Bemls parlt , consisting of ton res
idence lots offered at $ JOU08. The same
block was assessed for 1891 nt 83,000. This
property Is located Just north of Cumlng
street near Thirty-second street.
Tbo south half of the northeast quarter of
section Jia-lO-in known ns the Pariier tract ,
containing 80 acres , was offered to the park
commissioners and recommended for pur
chase nt $ i7i,000. , The ontlro quarter section
was assessed in 1SM ! ) ntl2,000 , and in 18'Jl nt
? liSO. ( This leaves the assessed valuntiou of
the south half at fu.OOO for Ib'.K ) and at S-VJIO

tute.Tho owners of lands In the vicinity of
Eitmvood park on West Loavonworth street
offered nn irregular shaped tract comprising
about UK ! acres nt f'.KX ' ) l > er acre. By looking
at the assessment list It may bo seen that a
tract of thtrty-nlno ncrtw , included In this
proposition , and owned by Lyman Richard
son , was assessed at fl , ( > 00 : a tract of fifty
acres belonging to Leopold Doll , also In
cluded In tbo proposition made to the pirk
commissioners , was assessed at a

proposition was assessed at $2.000.
There wns a plcco of land offered by Mr.
'
Curtis , north of Elmwood park land , al'ready
owned by the cltv. atfllOO per acre , or twenty
acres for $12,000. This is the west half of the
southwest Quarter of the northwest quarter
ot section lDir13. . This twenty-acre tract
wus nssessod at $ .2,000 last year.
Taking the total valuation of all these tracts
from the assessment list , it foots up as fol
lows :

The Dlstin tract ; l,745
The Parker tract 2,840
The Elm wood park tracts 7,700
Total ? 17,383
The park commissioners have recommended
to the council that the above lands bo pur
chased at a total cost of $ .334,000.
Glvon , that the lands adjoining the city
limits are assessed at only ono-tonth their
value , as Is claimed by a number of real 03-
tate arcnts , the true value of tbo lands ac
cepted by the park commission would not exceed - '

pations of the prospective bride
were rudely dispelled ono day last

Deputy Fitzgibbons found the borso and
buggy , which had been loft n few miles this

man answering Adams' description , who said
bo was going to Oaiaha and would be back in

x , D.C. , Fob. 11. [ SpecialTele
gram to TUB One. ] Political circles woru
excited today over nn attack on General
Algor's presidential candidacy. It came
from Editor Dana of the Now York Sun ,
who was assistant secretary of war during
Lincoln's administration. In an editorial ho
stated that Uenural Algor had bocn dis
charged from tbo service for being absent
xvlthout leave on the recommendation of
General Sborldnn.
The recital glvan made It appear that
General Algcr narrowly escaped a dishonorable -
able discharge nnd tbat tbo circumstances in
any ot'cnt prevent bis claim for the support
of tbo veterans of the Grand Army of the
liepublio organization.
Detail * or thn Sun's Attack.
The Sun editorial was ns follows :
"What Is this about General Kussoll A.
Algor of Michigan as a republican candidate
for president on a platform of patriotism and
pensions ! -Tho various biographies of General -
oral Algcr dwell tnuro In detail upon the
beginning of his military services ( ban on
the end. Ho was major In the Second
Michigan cavalry , General Sheridan's old
regiment. October IU , 18H2 , ho was promoted
to bo lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Michigan
cavalry , subsequently ho was transferred to
the Fifth Michigan cavalry nnd became Its
colonel.
"In September , ISiVl , Colonel Algor nnd his
regiment were in the Shenandoah vnlloy
taking part in Shoridan's great campaign
against General Early. About the first of
tbnt month Colonel Algor applied for ten
days' leave of absence. The application wns
disapproved and returned to his division
commander , General Wesley Morritt , because
of tbo nctlvo operations then In progress.
Upon the return ol his application for leave ,
disapproved , Colonel Algcr loft bis regiment
nnd went to Washington without leave.
There ho procured a detail on court-martial
duty in that city.
"This fact was reported to Gonornl Mer-
ritt , who reported It in turn to General
Sheridan , who brought tbo matter to the nt
.
tention of'tho Wnr department , recommend
ing that Colonel Algcr bo dishonorably dis
charged from the service for being absent
without leavu. In consequence ot that recom
mendation from Philip H. Sheridan , Colonel
Russell A. Alger wns discharged from the
service September i-'O. 1804. Tbo record does
not read that ho was 'dishonorably dis
charged. ' The punishment recommended by
General Sheridan was softened and ho was
merely discharged. This incident terminated
nls mllltarv career.
'After the war was over he procured In
some way the brevet of brigadier soneral
and major general of volunteers. These
facts nro not staled in the recent biograph
ical sketches relating to General Russell
Absent Algcr.1
Ills Neighbors Are Satisfied.
Michigan people whoso attention has been
called to the matter olaim'to know nothing
of it. They think that If there had
boon anything wrong in General Algor's
military career it would have been
discovered before this. In their vioiv ,
the choice of bun for commander
of the Grand Army of the Kcnublio would
not have been mode if tboro bad been any
thing in hi * army record that needed vindi
cation. Some of tbo Michigan folu.s , how-
over.soy privately that as General Alcor's
candidacy was largely based on his soldier
support , this assault on his military record
will have to be explained , and if bo is unable
to maotit it will undoubtedly hurt his pros
pects of getting delegates to the Minneapolis
convention.
Harrison Will Havu Michigan.
El wood L. Hatipo , postmaster , and Gcorgo
H. Hopkins , collector of the port of Detroit ,
nro in tbo city on onicl.il business nnd state
that the Michigan delegation to Minneapolis
will not he solid for General Alger. In tact
they do not believe that any sort of machin
ation can prevent tbo state delegation Voting
from the very lirst for President Harilson ,
ovoti should General Al er determine to
make a contest for tbo delegation. In this
vien of the situation Messrs. Hanco nnd
Hopkins say thov nro supported by ox-Son-
tttor Palmer of Michigan , at present presi
dent of the World' ? fair and ono of the most
popular and bestjinformed republicans of tbo
wolverine state. If General AJgor does not
Imvo his ; own local delegation , ho will not
have very stable foundation upon which to
build bis campaign for tno nomination.
