The request of County . ! UIKO ! BHcr for nil- ( llttonal belli brings to tight soinouurlously In teresting facts about his office. The vaults of the county court arc n huge cemetery that ban swallowed up hundreds of documents representing thu hope and tbo despair , the achievement and tlio ambition of thousands of people. Tucked mvay In pigeon holes ihere arc wills that have- grown musty frith the passage of nearly half a cen tury , ns It was ncany fifty years ago when the llrst estate was administered. From tbat lima until the present thu old docu ments have continued to nccuimiluti * , and ( luring the latter years at a rapid rate , prin cipally on account of the fact that many of this old-time citizens of Omaha have laid down their burdens and have fallen before the grim reaper , death. With their going the business of the court has Incieased fully twofold within the last few years. Tills statement is berne out by the fact that of the ! ili ! ( ) estates , ISO have been lllcd during the past year. At this time , In addition to the disposition of the estates , there are 1.000 guardian mat ters for settlement , many of which have been on hand for nearly a quarter of a cen tury. tury.One peculiar feature of the manner of con ducting the business of the court is tbo fact Uiat prior to the beginning of last year only ! ! OU estates bad ever been settled and but 100 guardianship matters settled in full and for all time to come. The probate Judge states that the only ob ject he has in unking for more help In his ufllcc is that he may take up these mat ters and get them out of the way , that the decks may bo cleared for the new cases which are coming in nearly every day ( luring thi1 year and at a much more rapid rate than they did a few years ago when there were fewer old men in the county. With the necessary amount of help Judge Kller declares that there would bo less delay in settling up thesn matters and that by running tlu-m through thu public would be greatly benefited. Under the plan that has been in practice in the past the delay lias resulted disastrously in many respects. L'licru have been times when the executors have left the county , taking tbo property with tin-in. The long years have resulted in the death of bondsmen and largo estates have dwindled away to nothing. IIIUT IN COUKT. AKlilliR for n Krcclvcr for Dundee IMncii Properly. Judge Dumly lias been asked to appoint a receiver for certain Dundee Place property , valued at ? 15,000 , and to npuly the Income to the payment of mortgages with which it is blanketed.

PlTTsnuuo , Pa. , Feb. 8. The flood that threatened disaster to Pittsburg and Alle gheny has , it is thought , been cheeked by the cold weather and the worst is believed to be over. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the water touched the eighteen-foot mark and all day steadily crept up until at midnight the mark showed twcnty-flvo feet. Parts of Allegheny and the Soutn Side were submerged yesterday and the merchants on the river fronts were greatly inconvenienced by tbo flooding of their cellars. The damage - ago , as far as learned , is not much , but the poor have suffered ereatly from the cold. Tbo high water seriously affected the rail ways , and nearly all the trains were delayed. IJispatchcs from nearly all points through out the western end of the state indicate a serious condition of affairs. At Oil City , Parker , Warren and Freeport the Hats are submerged , many people huvlng been com pelled to move and others who have anything at stake remained up all night to watch the rise. rise.At At Greenvilln the reports are that great damage will be done. Immense Ice gorges below the town have backed up the water so that the lower sections" are inundated and many families have moved out in boats. T/i'.V.I.S SH'Kl'T III' .1 XOKTllt'Jt.

DURYEA WAS DRAWN INTO IT Smith of Iliurnll , Now Mlnlntrr fit Wnnlilnff- lon , the Doctor's ( Incut Six Yi-iim ABO Pri-trndcil lln Wiinteit .Mlmloimrlcn While Plotting Involution. In n cosy homo facing Union park In Bos ton some six years ago were sown the seeds which but recently ripened Into the revolu tion of Hawaii , the .overthrow of Queen TJlIuokalanl and the substitution of a pro visional government for the monarchy. This is probauly new history to all save n chosen few , yet Interested directly In laying the foundation of recent events in the Sandwich islands four people took the Initiative In the movement In the United States. Ono of these was a woman , a graduate of n medical college. The quartet consisted of Dr. Mott Smith , Senator O. II. Platt , Dr. J. T ; Duryca and Dr. Smith's sister. Dr. Mott Smith is now minister plenipo tentiary and envoy extraordinary from the Sandwich islands to the United States and is recognized by the provisional government. Mr. Platt is still n senator from Connecticut. Dr. Duryca is pastor of the First Congrega tional church in Omaha und Miss Smith Is at her homo In the Sandwich islands. Dr. Duryca yesterday related to a Uin : re porter a train of circumstances which lead to the impression that tbo Hawaiian revolu tion was hatched years ago and that ho was unconsciously a party to it. Eight or nine years since fears began to bo entertained by the foreign residents of the far-away Islands , that some day Kalahaiui , fretting under the restraint imposed upon him by the constitution , would throw it off , and not only would the : i)00 ( ) or 4,000 foreigners be at the mercy of UA.OOO natives , but the country would easily fall into the hands of the llrst nation to establish ( X protectorate over it. Phimilni ; lor tlu < Change. A meeting of the prominent men , repre senting the heaviest business and llnanclal interests ol the islands was held. Young Smith had Just returned to Hawaii with his sister after completing a course-in medicine in the United States. Ho was a native , but of European paivntage. His father had been i'lnong the early missionaries to the Sand wich islanders and was a man highly re spected and honored. Under the constitution framed by tbo missionaries Kalakaua held sway only as a limited monarch. Order had been brought out of chaos by the propounders of biblical truths , and the king held the crown only by choice of the natives , not from hereditary ri' ht. His nature was gross and sensual in the extreme , and bis sympathies , naturally with hit fellow blacks , were liable at any moment to assert themselves. Another and probably the most important reason for the gather ing was the constantly growing dan ger of German ascension. Germans began coming to Hawaii and securing planta tions , and these were followed shortly by German bankers. The king's excesses con tinued , and ho was soon heavily in debt to the moneyed subjects of tlio kaiser. When the loans became duo more money was pre ferred Kalakaua , and , greedy for gold ho readily took what was offered. The Ameri cans on the island saw what would inevita bly follow. Getting the king so deep as to be beyond redemption , the Gorman bankers would appeal to their government , claiming their interests wore in jcopanly , and a pro tectorate under the German ( lap would be established. On n Secret MI KOII. With these contingencies in mind Dr. Smith was given secret instructions , and with liis sister left for tins United States' . Leaving San Francisco six years' ' ago , brother and sister went to Boston. They had letters ot introduction to Dr. Duryca , who was then pastor of the Central Congre gational church. Both Dr. Smith and his sister had como to America ostensibly to col lect funds to help establish' industrial school at Honolulu. This statement was given wide circulation , and by the uninitiated accepted. After a few days rest tlio game for u kingdom began. Among the warmest friends , personally and socially of the pastor of Central church , none , perhaps , stood closer to him than Sen ator Platt of Connecticut. Dr. Smith and the senator were introduced by Dr. Duryca and the work began. During tho.tliree months the doctor remained in Boston he made nu merous trips to Washington and back. Con ferences were held with these near the head of tbo government , the situation of affairs in the islands was gone over , and the Board of Foreign Missions was induced to take a hnud fn the further supplying of missionaries to the islands , something which had ceased. Influential men were consulted , and finally Dr. Smith and his sister sailed for home. In many of bis letters to Dr. Duryea ho says , "We are getting along nicely , " presumably referring to the collection of funds for the proposed school. 1'limlly Reached the Crisis. For six years the mission of tlio young physician and his sister bore no fruit. Mat ters were rapidly coining to a point where a protectorate was becoming aii imperative necessity. Germany , England and the United States were bound by a treaty Of neutrality in times of peace. Should war break put it would bo a question of which of the tlirce nations could get'to the islands first. first.Hecently Hecently the crisis approached rapidly. Queen Liliuokalani's prime minister was an American , and the state showed signs of tot tering. It was found that certain diplomatic mutters with the United States needed look ing after , and Dr. Smith was sent to this country. The queen , after Smith's arrival here , did precisely what had been predicted. The constitutional government was over thrown by her and a now constitution waste to be given the people. The armored cruiser Boston was not far away. The queen was deposed , and the Boston , as tlio dispatches state , "happened" along to land SOO marines. Meanwhile Dr. Smith had been made minis ter plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary by the provisional government , and be had the ear of this government at Washington , where ho was stopping when the revolution occurred. A coincidence , perhaps , out it fits in the groove.

Princeton StiiilcntH Fooled by u Slick Hnrnk Thief. TltKNTO.V , N. . ! . . Feb. 8. William Cox is now in jail hero oharjjed with systematically robbing Princeton ntti- dents. It is estimated that Htudontst | mvo lost fully $ .000 through his steal ings. Cox is said to have made a full eonfesslon to the eollego preeoptor , Mr. Haley , and says the property ean bo recovered by tlio students from the pawnshops. A lot of jewelry and pawn- tickets to the value of $1,000 on pawn shops in New York and Trenton are reported to have been found on Cox when ho was captured. For several months complaints have been made by the students of the disap pearance of money , jewelry and clothing from their rooms , but no clew to the thief could bo found. Cox , who is about 20 years old , was in the employ of an ex- IH'OJH company and a firm of fashionable tailors of Princeton and was admitted to the college dormitories to deliver pack ages to the students. This made access to the rooms easy and he could return without suspicion when ho knew the student was not there and steal what ever ho could find. On entering a room Monday morning Cox did not know ho was being watched by a student , who was sick in an adjoining room , lie was permitted to take what ho wanted and Sjo in peace , but as soon as he disap peared the sick student informed the police and the arrest followed. . o TO 1'UUTt.Cr HU/IM/IJ.V. \\YNtnort Connell Pasn an Ordlimnco for the llunellt oT Cubic ICinployet * . KANSAS , Mo. , Feb. 8. The town of Westport , wltich ad joins Kansas City , is indignant at the lack of protection that the cable gripmen have. There are about 700 gripmen at work hi Kansas City. In the council at West port last night an ordinance was passed with this clause : "All street railway companies shall , whenever the temperature is 10 ° above y.oro or lower , provide and furnish pro tection against the wind and the weather for the gripmen , drivers or other opera tors of its cars. " A line of from.$25 to $100 a day is pro vided for every day that tlio street rail way companies fail to provide shelter for their gripmen. The authorities of the city of Westport eay this ordinance will bo enforced , and Walton Holmes , presi dent of the Grand Avenue Street Kail- way company , which owns the Westport line , says it will not bo enforced. Mr. Holmes declares that it will bo impossible to obey the terms of the ordinance , bccanso protection cannot be provided without at the same time en dangering' theilives of tho' people.

NEW Yonic , Fob. 8. William Samuel Ilurloy , a Hour merchant doing business in Wallabout market , has begun suit in the supreme court agaiftst William and Jacob Miles , brothers , to recover $ , ' 150- 000 , alleged to have been taken out of the estate of the plaintill's father , Sam uel Ilurloy. The older Hurley died in 1803 , leaving a widow and four children. Ho had bgen engaged in business in partnership with the Miles brothers. Under the terms of the will Jacob was made exec utor of the estate with Thomas Webb and the widow. Webb took no part in the management and Jacob was left to do as ho pleased. Mrs. Hurley received a small allowance from the estate and a settlement was made about live years ago by which she received a sum so small as to caupo her son , the present plaintiff , to begin an investigation to llnd out what had become of his father's property. Ho alleges that ho discovered that William Miles got hold of it tli rough his position as paYtnor in the tannery linn. William Miles , it is said , is now several times a millionaire.

Captain Clack gave her letters of introduction to the chief of police and other city olllcials of Warren Center and ho thinks she will have no trouble in securing the child.
