FIGHTING FOR HIS OLD OMAHA HOME
Victorious In Ton I.iwr SillU Mo Now Asks

Tricil to Oil Ills I
DUtrlct Court
A lawsuit which boars the marks of anti
quity , and on which tbo linger of tlmo has
loft Its Imprint Is on trial in Judge Fergu
son's court. Owlnr to Its ago and tbo
number of times that It h.is booa trloJ , thU
caio has furnished many n lawyer wltn a fat
fee during the past quarter of a century.
Among the members of the legal profession
the suit Is known as that of John Flanlean
against Jacob niton.
While the suit is not of public Importance ,
thcro are ROUIO Interesting circumstances
surrounding It ,
The plaintiff Is a colored man , over whoso
head ninety-throe years have rolled , leaving
abundant evidence In the wfty of a fcoblo
and faltering step , a furrowed brow and
shock of wool almost as will to as snow. Tlu >
old gentleman was born and reared n slave
Iti the sunny south , remaining In captivity
until the surrender of Fort Uonolson , In
1WW. For n number of months bo followed
the union nrmv , doing camp duty. In 180. ! ,
Funlgan wandotod to Omaha ana found em
ployment as a Janitor about the ofllco of the
old Kopubllcan , which then was under tbo
guidance of 1C It. Taylor.
Ills lloiiin Is Involved.
Not being abundantly supplied with
worldly goods , Flanleau and his wlfo lived
in n hut on Tujlor's farm In the vicinity of
what is now Thirty-second street and the
Bolt Line tracks. There ho has resided for
thirty years and has seen Omaha grow from
nn Indian vllllago Into a metropolitan
city. During all of these long weary
years the old man has farmed and
raised garden truck , thus accumulating
B fortune which ho had laid up to bo used on
the coming of a lalny day. After living on
the forty-acre tract for some ton years Flan-
lean's troubles commenced , nno , ho claims
that It was then tint the effort to dispos
sess him of Ms property vras made. Ho
claims that 'Jaylor intended to docd him
twenty acres ol the land , but that the deed
was never executed. Itwuslhcu that Sotb.
Ward , who hold a mortgage on a poitlon of
the tract , tried to oust tba old colored man.
Thocaso went into the United Slates court
and Flnnigau came out victorious. Then
the present defendant got possession and
law suits were commenced against Klaul-
gan but at each trial ho was 0:1 : top.
Kallltig to dufruud him of his prop
erty through the courts , Flamgan claims
that Elton began a series of per
secutions , which ho has kept up for years.
He claims that Elton has torn down his
fences , plowed up his crops and driven his
stock upon his growing cropj , trying to in-
tlmldato him and force him off tne land. As
the outcome of the whole trouble and after
the trial of ten suits , each of which ho has
won , Flanlgan is in court booking to recover
the sum of fl.tiOJ damages.
The defendant tells a different story and
claims that Flanigan Is the trespasser and
that ho has no titlx to the property , being
tbera simply as a squuttur.
Other District Ojurt Dolngc.
Tbo case of Amanaa Garllck against
Thomas Murray is on trial again in Judge
Doanu's court. In this case the plain
tiff seeks to recover the sum of fo.OUO.
At a former trial she secured a Judgment
of $250 , and instead of paying up Mur
ray .succeeded in securing a new trial. The
plaintiff avers that during tbo summer and
fall of IS'.K ) she was in the employ of the de
fendant , serving as a hi usekcepor ; that on
the night before Christmas of that year the
defendant visited her room , where , when
she was wrapped in the soundest of slum
bers , ho beat , scratched , wounded end
otherwise ill-treated the plaintiff. The de-
fcudcnt claims that the suit is a blackmail ,
am ) is brought for the purpose of filching
fiom him his hard earned wealth.

Illness of the aged mother of the nominee

a notca English physician , who is hero In
iho interests of all departments of the com
mission , especially her own part of tbo work ,
that of trained nurses , said today :
"I believe that Iho congresses of the
World's fair will bo much more bonoticial
than the exhibits , espoclnlly as regards edu
cation , philanthropy and hygiene. I wish to
open the way for a grout congress of trained
nurses , the lirat nno of its kind over held. "
While upholding the advantages of the
EngMsh three years course of study Mrs.
Fenwlck thinlta American nurses are su
perior to English , being more ofllclont In the
art of elck-cookory ; are very much bettor
paid and are much more justly Ireatoa. A
great blot , she says , on tbo English system
Is that ibo nurses receive a small , s'otllod
salary from tbo institution lo which Ihoy are
attached and the middlemen derive great
profits from tbolr foes. Tbo lower nurses
suffer from the "sweat ! ng. "

Thn Omaha postofllco has brought to light
another cusoot Dr. Jokyl anil Mr. llyilo.
The story Is a unique oao but has very llttlo
ot the romantiocounoctod witulL In August ,
1S90 , a young nun who said hi * name was
Otto MIddlotou presented hlmsolf along
with about thirty other applicants to tuko
the civil sorvlco uxainlnatton necessary to
sccura tbo position of mall carrier. Mr. Mid-
dloton's papers were considered very cred-
ititblu and ho was soon pin cod on the eligible
HsU A tow months later no was npn/mited
as a mall carrier. When ho aunoarod at the
ofllce to begin worlc Mr , Mohlc , ono of the
local board of oxandnors , was Impressed
With the lUea that this was not the Otto
Middlalon who hau passed the examination
several mouths tirovlous , but thinking tnat
ho might posstblu bo mistaken ho lot the
matter rosiutiii waluhoil for developments.
TUo mental pleluro which Mr. Mohto carried
In bis oyoot Ilia Air. Middlaton who pHssocl
the examination ropnisonlcd him to bo a
rather slU'ht , young man of medium holght ,
whereas thn Mr. Mlddluton xvno appeared to
take the position was a much taller man
and were a mustachu , which the fernier
hnd not.
MMdleton Couldn't Sprit.
In a few months It was noticed that Mr.
MidUloton , the carrier , was a very poor
BL-ller. ( "Whon ho begun to send hann letters -
tors and papers with 'not Known' written
across thorn , spolllu ? the word known ,
'nono.111 said Mr. Mohlo , "I bo an to woudor
how that man ever passed the examination
and my suspicion grow stronger from day to
day that ho was not the man wo had recom
mended to the donartment and whoso papers
wo had forwarded to Washington. "
A few woohs ago Mr. Moblo told Post
master Clarksou of his doubts about the
Middlaton cuse and the postraaslor , after
examining Mlddtolon's handwriting , called
him into the ofllcu and questioned him about
tbo matter. Mlddlolon put on a bold front
and declared Unit ho was the sumo man who
toolt the examination. The postmaster had
Mlddloton cony ono of the examination pa
pers and his penmanship urovod beyond a
tlouotthatha rould not hava boon the man
who tnuilo out the pa pew In ISO1) ) .
Mtddloton was asked to rnnko oath to th o
statiMiiorit Unit ho was the person who passed
the examination , and lucre ho stuctc.
"If my word isn't good enough you can
talto vour position ana give mo mv tlmo , "
said Mlddlcton , pretending to bo greatly of
fended.
HI * .Sumo Is Voting.
The postmaster told Middlolon that he did
not wish to do any man an injustice , but bo
would not keen a man in bis employ who
would Ho to him , and ho stood suspended
until his ease could bo Investigated. Mld
dloton has not appeared at Clarkson's ofllco
smco. Ho xvas suspended two weeks ago ,
and was dismissed from the service last
week , as ho had not put. in an appearance ,
and the postmaster had become
thoroughly convinced that Mlddluton
had boon plavingadoublo game. Tbo matter
has boon investigated far enough to prove
beyond a doubt that the you tin man wbo
lee it tbo examination was an intimate friend
of Mlddlcton. Ills name is Young. Ho is a
bright and well educated young follow wbo
has a more lucrative position than that of
mall carrier , bui be undertook the Dr. Jokyl
and Mr. Hyde business for the special bene
fit of his friend Middlaton.
Them appears to bo no penalty for the
offence , and Mlddloton Is doubtless looking
for employment clsovvbnro.

NEW YOHK , Oct. 0. A World La Guoyra ,
Vonozuelu , cable dated October 5 , says : A
desperate battle has Jjst taken place at Los
Tcquos , c small town on the railroad line to
Valencia at a point about equally distant
between that place and Caracas ; QUO are allied
and many high govurnmcmiofllcerB captured.
Crespo has struck another decisive blow
which , following on his previous successes ,
, menus victory for the Crospists.
' Caracas is more than ox cited , for Crospo
has announced his determination to enter
the capital tomorrow. Ho has rnadona
formal demand Ijr tbosurrenderof tbo city.
From news received hero , the flchl was a
most bloody oao. Considering the size of
the contending armies , the number killed in
dicates serious lighting on both aider. But
stubborn as was the resistance of the gov
ernment troops they hud to My before tbo
Crorpists and were utterly routed. Crespo
had at his disposal homo 14,000 men , includ
ing 0,01)0 ) brought to him by Uonoral Colino ,
who joined him some days ago at Valencia.
Under Crespo were Generals Vegas and
Quintana , who started some days ago by dif
ferent roads on too way to Caracas , their ob
jective point.
The revolutionist ganoral possessed twelve
pieces of artillery and had iho assistance of
Kovoral Americans , besides that of General
Wldener , a Gorman , and General Betalll , an
Italian.
General Pulido , an undo of tbo acting
president , was In command of tbo troveru-
raont forces , numbering 6,000 , and wont to
Los Teques to tuko up a position in order to
repnl Crespo's advance on the capital , which
was thus douuded ot troops. This defeat
robs President Pulido of his army.
All tbo government oOlclals at Los Toques
and those accompanying the presidential
p&rty are reported to be prisoners at Crespo's
camp.
La ( Juayra Is itlll in tbo hands of tbo
government , but It cannot bold out against
Crespo.
Foreigners out hero uro now in Jeopardy.
It may be Impossible to control the murder
ously'inclined populaoo and ibo rufllanly
clement of the soldiery. Americans may ,
however , feel somewhat secure as the Chicago
cage Is close in port with bur guns headed
and ready to protect Unolo Sam's subjects.
It mav bo locked upon as certain that Car
acas williujinit to Cruspo , as U now r.deuis
inevitable.
Acting President Pulido was anxious to
bavo ( Jonoral hleasar Uudanota roturu to
the cotutnana of the troops , which bo In
tended should Crospo onlur Caracas , but
Undaneta is a fugitive and Is between two
Ili-os , as on his return here ho would bavo to
deal not only with CrospD , but with Admiral
Walker , and he Is practically ao outlaw.

from ft regular use of Ayer's IMIls ,
He says ; "I was feeling sick and tlreil
and my stomach seemed all out of order.
I tried a mimbrr of remedies , hut none
sccmc'd to give mo relict until I Mas In-
dticcd to try the old reliable A > cr'.s
1'ills. I have taken only one box , but I
feel llko a nu\v man , I think thuy am
the most pleasant and easy to take of
anything I over used , Irclng so finely
sugar-coated that even n child will tak < i
them. 1 urge upon nil who are

sores formed which would scab over ,
but Mould break Initui'dlatel.v on mov
