Mv Ancolfco cfstwullo in loco and pcarM ,
Danced , mllod and Illrtod nil the Whole

The maddest minx nnd merriest of clrls ,
With wicked flashes In her eyes of blue ;
But now nho'n cast nsldo her gowns ot gauze ,
Retires each night when early church bolls

Itoads history , nnd thinks , nnd soivs , because
It Is thn proper thing Ih Lenten tlmo.
She goes each morning early to the church
With oycs demure under her dotted veil ,
In frock subdued , llko a" brown bird a-pcrch ,
Prim , pretty , quiet nnd a trillo luilo ;
' She reads the service from n-llttle book ,
U'hHpors a sllont prayer ah- , not in valnl

Uonoath dim sunbeams through the chancel -

Lovellor ho looks than when 'neath candles'
Blow
Wo strolled together from the music's
blare ,
When , ns wo waltzed , I whispered to her low
And felt the fragrance from her nut brown
hair.
That nalntlv droop becomes her prolty eyes ,
h She looks quite well In aparrow brown ar

For thoiich it's nil a dainty sacrifice
Bo sure her sackcloth gown Is tailor mado.
Ah , Angollcol send up ono llttlo prayer
For ono who stands without the Iron gnto
"Watching oaoh day to co you passing there ,
As erring ones on pitying angels wait ,

KATE MASTBKSO.V.
In looking back over the season that is
dead and burled ono cannot hclu but recall
the largo number of afternoon receptions for
"women only" mid the few evening affairs to
which both soxcs were blddbn. The pro-
Lenten period was distinctly a woman's
period , and if it had not boon for two or three
cotillons and ono or two big evening crushes
ttio men would not have known that there
was such a thing as fashionable lifo in
Omiiho. Looked at from whatever side , the
Boason has not been particularly gay. Many
houses , known for delightful entertainments
In the past , have been closed , and whether
they will boopouod after the Easier days is
very questionable. It would seem that all
the entertaining had boon done and spring
finds the dowagers and belles planning trips
abroad or to some lake or scasido resort ,
whqro health may bo won back under sunny
jitt'5' | |
.Kln the beau monde tbo dances have been
few and far between. The failure to roor-
giinlx.u the Assembly , the Cotillon , the Happy
Hours club , was deplored , but there was no
ono to lake the initiative , nnd HO these
famous organizations of past seasons were
nllowed to expire , what the post-
Lenten season will do for the dancing
men and maids is past llnding out.
Easter will bring fewer uarriagos than at
nny tlmo within the memory of the oldest
society man. In fact tl'iero is not ono fash-
lonablo wedding announced to take place
aflur the close of Lout , the girls In sooloty
seemingly determined upon having another
season before turning.thoir attention to thA
nerlpus.pioblb'm ot marriage. , The cynic will
say that the glrli nro' not alon'o responsible
for this oleak outlook , but these who know
the attractiveness , the brilliancy and the
beauty of Omaha's young women will take
the remark for what It is worth , the vopor-
inesof a'poasimlst.
Society is in mourning for the Lenten
"
period. "Nothing more wild or exciting than
u theater party , followed by a supper , n llttlo
good music or impromptu dancing Is ponnls-
ethic. tTor'lho ' women there are in addition
such exclusive Lenten privileges as luncheon
parlies , dressmaking matches and sowing
circloH. Piety with some assumes a pro-
grcssivo form and quito royal progress is
made in every direction by any number of
people in special drawing room cars , a dozen
fti our loading trls already having shalcou
) / themselves away from Omaha and the social
/ whirl.
Then there nro other girls who nro giving
themselves up to reading cumbersome volumes -
umos oc metaphysical and psychological
subjects ; abstaining from ben bens and
dugar In their coffee ; attending early service
nnd singing in volunteer choirs , in fact they
nro doing n thousand ana ono pretty things
-which uro presumed to humble the spirit and
i ortily the llcsU to the dust ,

OIAIINob. . , March 12. To Hon. George
11 , Hastings , Attorney General of the State
of Nebraska , Lincoln , Nob. : My Uonr Sir
I bog leave to call your attention to n fact
already well known to you , towlt : That on
Iho Gth day of May , IS'.H ' , the supreme court
of Nebraska entered judgment in cfTect that
John M. Timyor U the governor of Nebraska
nnd entitled to hold said ofllco und ex
clusively exorcise the duties nnd functions
thereof for two years from the llrst Thurs
day after the llrst Tuesday of January , 1801 ,
nnd until till sticcosiov Shall bo duly elected
nnd quullllcd. Ou the snino dity sidd John
M. Thayer took anoiv the 'oath ot olllcu .re
quired by tlio constitution and gave u now
bond in the sum of $ . > 0OJO , which was duly
approved.
That judgment stands of record at the
present tlmo has not boon reversed nor sot
nslde. It Is now the law of this stuto.
Notwithstanding all this , however , on Feb
ruary S , last , GovernorThuyorlssnldtohnvo
loft nU ofllcu and to have permitted James
R Boyd to outer Into and occupy tbo place
where the unties nnd functions of the ofilco
of governor of tbo stale uro usually exercised
and performed. Tnls proceeding on his part ,
nnd ou the part of James K. Lloyd , houuvor ,
cnni.ot constitute James K. Buyd the gover
nor of the stuto of Nebraska.
For I submit for your enhdld considera
tion that the governor of Iho state is a
cronturo of the constitution' aim thu law and
the ollleo cannot uo handed by n governor
over to any person ut thu whim or cnprico of
unyono whom the constitution aud the law
has clothed with tbo olllcu. While that
Judgment of oiir supreme court stands on
record , unchanged and uurcvcrsud , ns it
now stands nnd ns It must stand until our
own supreme court sbix'.l chanpo the record ,
John M. Thnycr U the conltitutlonal und
lawful governor of the state , und bcsldo bun
there canbo , no other excent ut such time
or UmoJ' as ho shull beuu-ienl irom the
state , etc. , xvheu thu duties of the otllco by
virtue ol thu provisions of the sumo constitu
tion devolve upon Thomas J. Majors , the
lieutenant governor.
If I am correct in this , my view of the situ
ation , th n I ri-speetfully suggest nnd submit
that every department of the state novern-
ment is bound to continue to recognise John
M. Tnayer as the governor of the stale und
refuse to rococuiyo James K. Boyd. Any
other vlow of the case , as It scorns to mo ,
would recognize that any governor of the
state might at will , und at any time , abandon
his oftict ; and appoint or substitute .some ono
'
of his own eho'oilng to exorcise the duties
uud porlorm the functions of Iho otllco , nnd
so override and set at naught thu constitu
tion and the luws nnd Ignore the solemn
judgments of our su [ > romo.couj.'t. The result
is anarchy nnd legal chaos > j k
Nor can it bo said in unswon to this vlow
that the supreme court of thUfjUnited States
has reversed the judpmojU oft our supreme
court. Not until otllcial noti < jo of such fact
lias been received by our amii mo court , und
our supreme court bus i iti-frftl thereon by
chnnginu its own rocord-.jA'ttH such bo the
fact. Our supreme court nlqiio can lurnlsh
to our people olliuial hno\velc ! ( of any such
reversal. It must come through the action
of our court and from no ojlhor-jsoureo.
The title to tlio ollico ofiBovfcnor in found
only in the iccords of our state , mid when
that tltlo has boon in contest-in our sunromo
court the records of this couctmlouo ca'u disclose -
close the title to the ofilce ,
I hnvo duly certified roplcs'.ol the opinion
and the dissenting opinion of the lustlcos of
the su.pr.cino court ot , tha Uuiicd States in
the case , and from thorn I7iifd ( that iut four
of tho-Justices hold that tdo admission Of the
territory of Nebraska iutollthe ! union us
a stuto made a citizen of tbo
United States of James E.Boyd. . Four is
not a majority of the eight justices who nut
at thu hearing nnd who participated
In Iho opinion the decision ot
the case Justice Bradley did not
sitat the hearing , nnd he died
before the opinions were bunded down. I
have n letter from thu clerk of the sunromo
court of the United Status stating such'to bo
the facts. It Is true that seven of the justices
hold that Boyd's ' answer-stated facts which ,
if true , were sulheiunt to constitute him u
citizen of the United States and that such
facts were sulllciontly well pleaded to require
n reply , und that tbo demurrer to such
answer should have boun overruled and not
sustained by our supreme court. And the
cnbo was remanded to bo proceeded with ac
cording to law. This allows a reply to bo
Hied and will sot the case down for trial upon
the issue joined by the answer Und reply.
As yet , However , no mandate has como to
our court , and no action can or will be taken
by it until such time ns the mandate shall bo
received. In Iho moautimo Jonn M. Tnayer
Is Iho governor of the state James E. Boyd
is an Intruder Into thoolliec'ls in contomnt
of court , and no department of state can
lawfully recognize him even as tbo do facto
governor.

1'rccedent Sought.
LN , Neb. , March 12. [ SpcclM loTnn
Bp.r. ] The Ingenuity and legal ncumon of
the lawyers Is subjected to a constant strain
In order to dnvlso new pleas for Iho purpose
of saving their clients from punishment and
securing now trials from the supreme court.
This statement is suggested by n case which
was filed with the clerk of the supreme court
this week , anil which Assistant Attorney
General Somors was today engaged in brief
ing.
ing.On
On the 21st of last November William
Tlppoy wn convicted ot murder In tlio BOO-
oiul degree and sentenced to ton years In the
penitentiary from Sallna county. The crime
for which ho is to bo punished jv.n com-
mlttod On the Kill ot that month , and ho was
arraigned , tried , convicted nnll sentenced'
the 21st , four days following. Popular ox-
cltoment ran high , . and his conviction was
secured while the Jury sat within hearing ot
throats of lynching from those In the com
munity eVer whom a proper sense of Justice
had not .vet resumed qontrol.
The point made by Tippoy's attorneys In
their argument for a now trial is n novel ono
in Nebraska Jurisprudence. They claim that
the trial was null mid void for the reason
that It was hold nt u ditto urtor the regular
date established by law for the regular term
of court in Salltio county. The regular fall
terms of court for the Seventh district" , In
which Sallno county Is situated , for the year
1 814 were llxod by law ns follows : Sallno
county , September IB ; Clay , November 10 ;
Fillmoro. November 21 , all ot these countlci
boltig in Judge Morris' district. IIo held the
term of court in Saline county which appears
to hnvo been in session until October H , when
n verbal adjournment was taken until No
vember 17. This was ono week later than
the regular term to commence In Clay and
ono week previous to the tlmo of Its com
mencement in Fillmoro. On November IT ,
while Judge Morris was holding court In
Clay county , Judge Gnslin , while In nn ac
commodating mood , assumed to hold a term
of court In Saline county , nlthough that
county was entirely out of his district , and
h < 3 was simply attempting to relieve his
brother judge of a press ot business. Tippey
was tried and convicted before Judge Gas-
lin , whom ho now claims had no jurisdiction.
IIo alleges that th.it terra was hold without
authority of law-tmd consequently iu pro
ceedings were void.

Judge HurKolt's Condition.
Speaking of Judge Borgott's condition Into
this afternoon his physicians say tbntno fur
ther unfa\orablo conditions : have presented
themselves and the patient was resting easy.
HO has , partially recovered the use of his
right arm which yesterday was paraly/ed.
and Is able to take 'somo nourishment. His
condition is still considered as extremely
critical by the physicians. His danger UPS
in the fact that a part of the bullet is still
lodged somcwhoro in the brain and that portions
tions of that organ are yet oo/ing from the
fractured skull. The instances of the re
covery of parsons from wounds ol so sorlous
anp.tUro'aro vor.v rare , out In spite of this
fact the- family and friends of tlio xvoundod
man are hopeful for the best.
An Killtur ricaiU UN Dun Cam- .
The mandamus case brought by J. D. Calhoun -
houn , editor of the Lincoln Herald , to com
pel the city council to divide the various
wards of the city into election precincts in
accordance ivitu the provisions of the ordi
nance adopted last December , came up in
Judge Hall's ' court today. Editor Callioun
appeared as his own attorney , and repre
sented to the court that the city council had
neglected and refused to nuiko the division
contemplated by the ordinance ; that if that
body was not so ordered by ttio court Iho
election on the r > th of the coming month could
not bo hold ; and that the interests of the
city would be greatly damaged by the neglect
of the council. The littornoy for the council
sot up the plea that tbo ordinance of lust
December was Illegal by reason of the Inter
lineation that had boon madn in the instru
ment the day after it bad passed the council.
Tbo case was continued until next Monday
morning , when the legal battle will bo ru-
uawod with greater fury than over.
Clly Clerk .May Itrlfiit.
The controversy between City Clerk Van
Duyn and the Hock Island railroad pnoplo
over the matter of the signing the bonds
issued by the city to 'nm in the construction
of that road Into the city bids fair to be nm-
icablv adjusted In u short timo. The cleric
has hitherto refused to sign the bonds on the
grounds that the mayor nnd city council In
structed thu mayor and clerk to sign the
bonds by n resolution instead of on ordinance.
Ho does not wish to appear as standing in
the way of Uio commercial Interests of tlio
city ami will iheroforo recede from his posi
