"Only by hearsay. " . ,
"When you approved the vouchers had you

"When you loft the asylum were those
vouchers showing the hniount of coal re
ceived ? " , .
"Thcro wcro duplicate vouchers showing
the number of cars , but I don't know the
present whereabouts of the books and pa
pers. "
"Did you examine Sowell & Co.s flour
vouchers before you approved them ? "
"Yes , sir , I did , but If they showed no
special corrections , I did not examine them
soclosnlv ; ! novcr approved tiny voucher
without I believed It to bo correct. If 1 did
not do so myself I always caused them to bo
oxnmlncd before approval. "
"Did you over know , during 1SU1 , that coal
was being slolunt"
"Yes , sir ; from the switch , nnd men wcro
placed there to stop It. Men wcro driving

This report shows that the doctor had
confidence In the competency and honesty of
the subordinates at the asylum.
Mr. Lambortson objected to the record on
the ground of Incompotoncy.
Judge Pound suggested that the re
port was made before the respondents went
into ofllce.
' The report was admitted.
. Thcro was nothing moro that Mr. Webster
desired to draw out on the direct and so an

"Doctor , in making this report you do not
show the deficiency ! " asked Mr. Lambert-
son.

gone Into the next report. "
"Then there should have been W.030 added

"Yes , sir ; I think so. "
"In commending the skill and Integrity of
the board , you referred to the members of

bers ? "
"No , sir ; usually the vouchers for coal had
on them the number of the car in which the
coal came. "
The witness was shown a larno number
of vouchers which did not carry car num
bers.
"Why did you not require the car num
bers to bo placed upon the vouchers ? "
"I can't recall any special reason. "
"Why did you require car numbers on
Dotts & Weaver's vouchers , and novcr re-
nulro any car numbers on the vouchers of
the Whitobreast Uoal company ( "
"I can't say. "
- "What is your memory about being suspic
ious of the vouchers ? "
"I think I was. "
"What did you dot"
"Instructed the dealers that mlno welchts
would no longer bo accepted. "
. "That's not what I'm talking about ; I
want to talk about car numbers and not
mine weights. "

"About the amo , "
Dr. Hay. who , from 1870 until ISM , was
Ito assistant superintendent ut ttio asylum ,
was sworn and testified. Mr. Webster
showed witness n flour voucher nnd nskcd :
"Did you approve that voucher ? "
' Yes. sir. "
"Did you bcllovo that It was corrcctl"
"I dlii. "
Witness was handed n coal voucher which
ho had approved and tra.wmltted to the
board ,
"Did you bellovo It was correct ? "
"I thought It wns. "
' 'Doctor , do you remember these
vouchers ? " nskcd Mr. I ambortson , on cross-
examination ,
"Only ns I see my name on them. "
' 'It was not your business to sign them ? "
"Only whrti Dr. ICnnpp was nhscnt. "
At this point Mr. Webster offered the Dond
nnd official oath of Dr. Knupp in evidence.
Thcro was no objection. After this there
was the bond nnd oath of ofllco of .1. Dau
Latter. Mr. Webster offered the bond of .1.
W. Bowman. Mr. Lambertsou objected for
the reason that Ilowman had nothing to do
with the case , but before the court ruled the
objection was withdrawn.

Jo.icph It Wobstcrfor the respondents said
that ho had Homo documentary evidence ,
which ho wanted to Introduce. Gaining Ills
feet Mr. Wi'bster road from the message of
ex-Governor Tlutycr , in which document he
commended the management of the hospital
and showing the low death rate out nt the
institution.
Mr. K-imbertson stated thatas far as the
Issues were concerned , It did not make much
difference what tlio ex-governor thought.
Justice Maxwell replied that the passage
referred to could ho marked and it would bo
looked into.
John I * . Webster hoped that the court
would understand that the respondents did
not suspicion the subordinates us being .dls-
honcsti especially those who wcro endorsed
by high oniclals.
I'rldmirn of tlio I'liglnonr.
Engineer Mohtcr of the hospital testified
that ho went to the Institution sometime lu
ISS'J.
ISS'J."When wns the now boiler put into the
green liouso ? " nnkcd Judge Hay ward for the
respondents. "How largo was this now
boiler ? "
"It was 10 feet by fi2 inches , while the old
boiler was 11 feet by ! " > inches. "
"Did this add to the consumption of coal ! "
"I should say about " 0 per cent. "
"What change was made later onl"
"Tho bailers wcro reset. "
"How much greater was the consumption
of coal after the boilers wcro reset ! "
"I saved coal. I should say ! > per cent. "
"That's nil , " said Judge Hayward.
With a smile Mr. Liunbcrtaon entered
upon the cross-examination by asking ,
"What was the consumption of coal during
the summer months ? "
"About four and a half tons per day , or
whatever I told Mr. Kewicl : . "
"What amount did you consume per day in
all of the boilers after some of them wcro
reset , nnd how much was consumed in 1801
as compared with 18UJ ! "
Mr. Webster thought that was not cross-
examination. Justice Maxwell waz of a
different opinion.
Replying the witness said ho made a test
nnd that lie found that in IS'.tl ' the amount
consumed was about 30 percent creator than
in K'J'2.
"How much would that bo in tons1 ?
Mr. Wi'bster objected on the grounds that
witness had not made any computations.
"At whoso request did you make the test ? "
"At the request of.Dr. Bowman and to him
I made my report. "
"How much did you over burn In cold
weather ? " asked Judge Hayward on redi
rect.
" 1 know of ono time that with four boilers
running wo burned a carload in twenty-four
hours. "

Governor Crounso when called to the stand
was asked If ho could produce the record of
the Board of Publlo Lands and Buildings
with reference to the investigation of the
asylum.
"No , sir ; I have made a search , out amun-
able to find it. "
Mr. Webster said that in calling Governor
Crounso ho was laying llio foundation for
something that would come later on In the
trial. What ho proposed was when the time
comes to show by evidence that when the
respondents received notice of fraud they at
once commenced an Investigation.

1'upor'n Story.
SALT LAKE , U. T. , May 13. The Tribune 1
printed an article this morning directly Intimating -
timating that the reason that there have been
so few prosecutions for polygamy and unlaw
ful cohabitation for many months past , is ,
because the olllcials ifrnoro offenses of this
kind and refuse to prosecute them. It gives
a long list of polygiimists who have
their plural wives , as alleged , Just
over the line in Idaho and Wyoming , begin
ning with the case of Bishop Oscar Dunn of
West Millvlllo. Caeho county , U. T. Ho
was , it is stated , arrested by n deputy mar
shal on the charge of livlug in polygamy with
Jane A. Walsh , and she was about to become -
come a mother. The deputy then reported
to the headquarters of his district in Ofidc-n.
On his return homo the deputy madu the fol
lowing report to the commissioner : "I am
instructed by Cassin not tosubpo > iin the wit
nesses in that case. Tlio chief deputy saya
wo have been trying to lay a golden egg in
this territory and now you are trying to
break it up. "
The article proceeds : "What is meant
by the Koldeu egg ? No ono appears to
know. No explanations cun bo drawn out ,
but in view of what the officials are doing , It
probably means that It is intended to win
over thii Mormons to the republican party
for the purpose of making tills u republican
state , through winking and ignoring all
cases of violations of the hiws touching
boastial practices of Murtnonkm. "
In the case of Dunn no witnesses wcro
subpoenaed , anil when the bishop appeared
for trial ho was so delimit and undue-ions us
to tell tlio commissioner , that "the deputy
told mo that ho would not subptuncn the
witnesses and that I need not briiiR mv
plural wlfo to the trial , " and so the case had
to bo dismissed.
The nrticlo then adds : "Now , that wo are
to have a change of otllcials from the repub
licans back to democrats and a party which
has been boasting for the past four to seven
years that 'wo prosecuted and convicted
moro Mormons than over did the repub
licans , is coming into power , the lovers of
good Kovernn'ont will 'anxiously watch the
results. It has been pretty loudly whispered
that the bourbons are just ns anxious for the
Mormon votes as the republicans , and that
the policy of the present administration will
warm up the situation with many sweet
promises and will go further than have the
republican ofllcials toward winning ovur the
saints to their party. Wo shall soon see
what is to come. "
Tlio article then goes Into details nnd
mentions tlio names of a number of Mormons
in Utah , Idaho and Wyoming who have from
tivo to tlvo wives.

Nr.w Yonic , May 15. Amidst n deep nnd
oppressive sltcnco Diablo , the aged son of
Kolus nnd Grace Darling , won the rlcit
Brooklyn handicap nt Gravosond this after
noon in the presence of .TO.OOO persons.
Lamplighter , the favorite , who went to
the | K > st carrying n ton of money , was second
end nnd Lconawcll third. The winners time
was 'J:0fl : , made fractionally as follows :
Quarter , ! i5 < 4 ; half , 61 ; three-quarters , l:10j :
mile , IMS' ' . , " , uillo and n quarter , 2:09. :
The reason for the chilly silence with
which Diablo' * victor was received Is rather
ilinicult of explanation. Kvcn though the
winner was an extreme outsider , which fact ,
of course had Its offcct , the
raeo-Rolng public are too generous
to allow that to weigh in the balance and
generally give applause whcro applause is
duo. Tlio probabilities are that the people
felt Instinctively that they had in a measure
been the victims of what is termed a grand
coup. Diablo wns regarded ns being In the
Hint ilutht of lies two and three-year-old
form , but nftor his third year his legs became -
came shaky. Since then ho has been re
garded simply as n high-class selling plater
that was likely to break down permanently
In any rnco in which ho started. The
homo had raced three times nt the recent
Elizabeth meeting , winning once out of
throe starts. Kacoland and Charade , two
horses that ran in the handicap today , were
tlio winners of these races and beathim
silly. His wonderful Improvement In form
today waf therefore , all the moro stunning
In Us effect.
The Brooklyn handicap rim today was the
seventh in the history of the event and was
guaranteed worth S'jn.OOO. Of this sum
the winner gets $18,000 , the second norse
$5,000 and the third horse W.OOO. "
It Win u llorxomnii'H Day.
The day dawned bright nnd fair , much to
the delight of the many thousands of per
sons that had determined to see the rich
stakes contested for. As the day advanced
and the bright weather prospects of the
morning wore fully realized , pcoplo set
their faces to'vard the race course nnd soon
the different dnvownys and railroads load
ing there assumed nu animated appearance.
By 1'J o'clock n few hundred people
ple had reached the course and these
eagerly sci/.eil upon the best points of
Viiutage. which places they retained at least
until the event of the day was decided. At
noon several thousand lovers of the sport of
IciiiKS had entered the enclosure and from
that time until the bell rang thu first race
the crowd was gradually and steadily aug
mented. When the lirst race was called it
was difllcult to move about with any degree
of comfort on the lawn or in the bolting
ring , while the club house and grind stand
were filled to overflowing. At handicap
time at. least 150,000 persons were present.
The scenes in and auout the track wcro
both picturesque nnd exciting. The stand
itself presented a charming scene , the bright
nml varied colored toilets of the ladies show
ing in vivid contrast to the somber and sub-
ducJ-lookiug clothing of their escorts. Tlio
betting ring presented a wild nnd boisterous
scene. The jam was something awful. A
mun would go in smiling and looking spick
and spau , but no would come out still smiling
and happy , perhaps , but with hislincii wilted
ank his clothing torn and bedraggled.
Crazy to Hot.
Men rushed madly about looking for the
odds they wanted and shaking greenbacks in
tlio faces ot the bookmakers when they
found them. Rushing , pushing , jostling ,
shoving and hauling , there was plenty , but
j it was taken good naturcdly , for the crowd
] | expected it. The lirst thrco races on the
card wcro a mere relish to the spectators ,
only serving to whet tholr appetites for the
bier ovcnt of the day. When therefore , the
bugle called the horses to the post for the
big event , excitement was on tiptoe.
It was just ono minute past 4 o'clock
when the horses' were summoned from
the haddock. Fldello of William Daly's
string , was the llrst to appear and was
quickly followed by his ctablo companion ,
Tcrrifier. Then came Banquet , Nomad uud
Haceland , Michael Dwyer's candidates.
"Old Bonca , " as Uaccland Is affectionately
called , was loudly cheered , as was Jockey
Garrison , who had the mount on Banquet.
Charade wns next to come on the traalc , and
following wore .iudgo Morrow , the winner of
last year's Brooklyn handicnp.and Ultimotho
only representative of the west in the race.
,1. A. nnd H. Morris' representative , Mars ,
was saddled on tlio other aide of the truck
and did not pass tiio stand. Lamplighter ,
Diablo , Pickpocket and Lconawoll wcro the
hist to appear and went to the post together.
Lamplighter was enthusiastically ap
plauded , the ovation showing whcro the
hopes and dollars of the public wero. The
usual parade was dispersed with , the
horses goin ? to the starting point as they
do in an ordinary event.

After several futile attempts to got them

perfect start. Judco Morrow. Loonawell ,
Terrlfliir and Fidelio were n little in the
lead , with Lamplighter. Charade , Pick
pocket , lllumo and Mars lu a bunch in the
rear. Terrilior , true to the Daly tac
tics , immediately shot to the front and sot a
clinking pace past the stand and
into the back stretch. Hero Lconuwoll ,
who had been struggling for Ills head ,
passed Terrillcr and took a load of two
lengths. The race nil through the back
stretch wns an exceedingly pretty ouo. All
of the horses wcro running well together
nnd within striking distance of the leader.
At the fnr turn Txsonawell slightly increased
Ills lead and a shout went up from his ad
mirers. Their Joy was short-lived , however -
over , for turning Into the homestretch

nnd lllumo moved up and Joined the louder.
A desperate nnd highly exciting drive en
sued , tlio horses running almost head and
head all through the stretch. Less than u
quarter of a furlong from the wire Diablo
began to draw out and , soon getting clear of
the others , won a grand race by u length and
a half. Lamplighter beat the tired but
pamo Leonwell a nnck for the place , ll

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the lucor-
orntlon of Urownell hnll was celebrated In
i simple but Impressive manner nt the hall
list ovenlng. The oxcrclst-s wore held lu the
-cccptlon room , which wns adorned with
lumcrotts clusters of beautiful red roses ,
vhlt'h Imrmonlrcd offcctlvoly with the sub-
liuxl similes of the other furnishings.
The audience was remarkable moro for
character than numbers. Thcro wore
scarcely n hundred persons In the room , but I
imong them wcro several who had bcon !
dotlllcd with the history of the Institution j
sltico its first inception , who had helped to !
illot It through the snoals nnd shallows of
ess prosperous days , who had lent their aid
vhcti U seemed that It must succumb to the
ircssuro of adverse circumstances nnd who
ou this occasion met to oxchntiRO reminiscen
ces of those other days ntulcoiiBi-ntulntoeneli
other thnt their hopes nnd efforts had not
aon lu vnln.
Bishop WorthIngton presided , nnd n'ftor a
* ow wonls of explanation , announced a solo
y Miss Amy Barker ns the llrst number on
tlio program. Miss Bnrkcr snug "To Seville"
excellent Judgment , her clear soprano
r displayed to good advantage in the
.v.'ll known melody , .
Historical Ueniiiilscencos" of the school
wcro read by Mrs. Philip Pottur and revived
unny memories until then hnlf forgotten by
, hose who listened. Thcro were rccollcc-
.lons , which provoked sallies of Inughtcr
mil others which brought tears to the eyes
of some of those who hnd been connected
with the school in the days which wcro
brought to mind. Mrs. Potter compared thu
ircscnt occasion to n similar ono held
iwcnty-flvo yonra ngo when the institution
ivtts Just reaching out toward the future and
i success which baa since become a ccr-
ininty. Only u few of those who had been
present on the former occasion had lived to
sec the school In Its present condition of use
fulness and prosperity.
( ir.uimtcil ! tlio First Cluss In
Thu speaker called attention to the fact
that Browut-11 hull was the first .school in
Nebraska to graduate n class nnd expressed
the hope that the day was not far distant
when a diploma from the institution would
Iw mink-lent to admit a pupil to any college
in the United States. In the muantimo
there wns scarcely ouo of the older families
of Omaha whoso children had not , in p.ii-t ,
nt least , profited by the cducntinonl facili
ties offered by thn school.
Mrs. Potter reviewed innn informal manner '
the history of the school during the quarter
of n century of its incorporated existence
and paid touching tribute to the memory ot I
ninny faithful te.iehers who had made the , '
advancement oMts Interests their life work , !
and had boon called away before they wcro :
able to sec the ripened fruit of tholr oxor1 ]
lions and sacrifices. She recalled thfl llrst
time thnt n class was cnnilmicd in the hall I
nnd depicted in tones that trembled with I
emotion the scene when the bishop formally i
consecrated the cln-ss of young women to tlio I
protection of the church.
Ono of the earliest memories recalled was I I
the night that the news wns received that ! i
Ulcliinond had fallen. The school was then '
in its infancy , but the old hull wns ablaze
with lights , discipline wus relaxed nnd nil
Joined in the Jubilation over the triumph of
the flag. There were two pupils ulonu wno
did not join in the general rejoicing. They
wcro from the sunny south and the news
which filled the hearts of their companions
with triumph wus call and worm
wood to thnm. They dressed them
selves in their most mournful attire
and all the evening long walked arm in arm
up and down tlio walks outside , refusing to
enter the building uutll-tho lights wcro out
and the merrymaking wns over.
Original Iiicorpnrutor Talks.
In closing , Mrs. Potter announced that
some of the alumna : , wishing to express
their remembrance of Browncll hall , had
formed a scholarship which would bo for
mally tendered today and which , it was
hoped , would be the means of affording the
daughters of needy clergymen an opportu
nity to enjoy the advantages of an education.
Thcro are four of the original incorporators
of the school who are now ainonjj the
trustees. They are Hon. .1. M. Woolworth ,
Judge John I. Hedick , Judge George W.
Donuo nnd Colonel Clement W. Chase. Judge
Itcdick nnd Mr. Woolworth were present
last night and Bishop Worthingtoii called on
the former for additional contributions to
the former history of the school.
Judge Hedick suid that lip wns proud that
ho hnd been connected with the origin of
such nn institution us Urownell hall had bo-
come. When ho and Judge Woolworth and
several others determined to inrorx | > rate the
school It was regarded ns a visionary idea.
The school was first hc'4ln a small building
which had originally been used as u hotel ,
and ono not of the best reputation at that.
It was situated nearly three miles from the
city ami thu young ladles had to bo
hauled back and forth in nn omnibus. Ho
referred lo some additional facts which the
occasion brought to mind nnd related sev
eral humorous incidents which wcro evi
dently much , enjoyed by his audience.
Dr. Goodnlo. who was at an early date
connected with the school , was called upon
and spoke briefly. Ho bad como to thu hall
in ISOli , when there was only ono brick block
in Omaha , nnd when the present thriving
city wns but a dream of thu hopeful. At that
time there wcro about forty boarders ut the
hall nnd n few day scholars , nnd the speaker
remarked with much earnestness that there
was moro money made out of the day
scholars than from the boarders. -
Another of liriMvnoll'M r thorn.
Judge Woolworth said thnt the occasion
brought to him mlnglod emotions of satis
faction nnd of melancholy. There was
much of which to bo proud In the prospcrty
and work of the school , but ho thought of
those who had worked and suffered for its
welfare and hnd long since passed away
added a tinge of gloom to Ills rojoioiiig. Ho
dwnlt at sumo length ou the characters and
sacrifices of some of the first teachers in the
hall , nnd alluded in glowing terms to their
loyalty nnd faithful service.
A letter of regret from Mr. George Bolts
of Louisville , Ky. , nud Hov Canon Doherty
mndon few remarks relating more especially
to tlio growth of the school during the past
so rented ! years , whieh represents his term
of service in connection with the institution.
Miss Kstollc Thorpe of Dnvid City , Nob. ,
sang ' 'Parla , " by Arditi , rendering the very
trying selection in a most pleasing manner.
After the program was concluded the ro-
muindcr of the evening was passed In renew
ing old friendships and associations. lo- (
frt-sliments wuro served nnd it was not until
u late hour that the gathering was
broken up ,

from n regular use of Ayer's IMHs ,
He says : "I wns feeling sick and tired
and my stomach seemed nil out of order.
I tried n number of remedies , but nona
seemed to give mo rolidf until I wns In
duced to try tlio old reliable Ayti-'s
1'ills. I have taken only one box , but I
feel like a new man. I think they me
thu most pleasant nnd cnsy to take of
anything I ever used , being so finely
sugar-coated that liven a child will taka
tho-.ii. I urge upon all who are
of n laxative to try Ayer's Pills. "

tlio legs , ami especially to thu bund of
thu knee above thn calf. Here , running
nore.s formed which would seal ) over ,
but would bniak iinmcdintcly on mov
ing tlio leg. My mother tried everything -
thing she could think of , but nil was
without nvnil. Although n child , I rend
. iu the papers about thu heniillcinl effects
of Ayer's Pills , nud persuaded my mother -
er to lut me try thorn. With no giuat
faith in the result , nhc procured
and I began to use them , and soon
noticed nn improvement. Encouraged
by this , I kept on till I took two boxes , *
when the mires disappeared and have *
never troubled mo since. " ll.Chlpniun ,
