SHADOW OF SILENT SADNESS
Why it Flitted Across the Pace of William
Olmatcad.
END OF THE COMMISSIONER'S CONTEST
Jmtgfl Forguiinn Donlns Mr. Olimtcad' * Ap
plication for n AVr.lt und NimUiiu tlie
Verdict of thn Jury Oilier Ifntnc *
In tha Court * .
There was a shadow of sadness sweeping
over the countenance of William Olmstead
ns ho went out of Judge Ferguson's court
room yesterday mornlnp. brought on by the
fact that ho had fought his battle and bad
been defeated. Ho had lost the grip that bo
nupiMHcd ho hold upon tbo ofllco ot commis
sioner from the Third district , nnd Instead
of being an onioi.il dofacto ho was an ofllclal
doftmcto. This condition of affairs was
forced by Judge Ferguson's decision that
George 11. Williams was the man who was
authorized to sit as the commissioner in
the oftlco chair which Mr. Olmstead had
coveted.
The fight had been a long ono and started
nearly one year ago when the two men were
plttou , ono aialnst the other , Williams run
ning on thu republican ticket and winning
his spurs and Olmstead falling by the way
side , Kolni ! right down In the hottest of the
irallllcal battle. At that particular time It
will be remembered that Olmstead was on
the democratic sldo of the house , with Unelo
Kit Joh'nson posing ns the authorized cham
pion of the independents. When the votes
were counted it was discovered that AVH-
Hams , tlio republican and present Incumbent ,
was the winner by a plurality of llvo votes.
Olmstead proposed to dlo game and at once ,
aided by his attorney , started out on a
search to discover some fraud which
would afford him a reason for contesting
the election. While ho was so cngatred
be found that bv a slit ) of the types
from which the Australian b.Ulots were
printed ho had been tabooed as a pro
lilblttoiil.it. and that ono of his competitors
Uncle Kit Johnson , had been given the credit
of being a dyed-in-tho-wool democratrsomo-
thing that ho laid no claim to being. Then
Mr. Olmstead Instituted his contest , point ,
into the district court with ono bound , where
ho charged that ho lost the election by being
labeled us a prohibitionist , which he was
not ; that this fact misled the voters ; that
there bad been fraud and that ho was mi
titled to the ofllco and the salary attachment
mont , which had been going to Williams.
Crlobrnted Cine.
When the case was reached a Jury wa
called and for days and days a most blttc
battle was waged , witnesses havlnil bcei
called from near and far , but of all the mci
called to the witness stand , there were onlj
flvo who wore willing to admit their Ignorance
ranco and declare that by the mistake ii
billing they Were misled and induced to vet
for Undo Kll Johnson. After hearing all o
this testimony and the charge of the court
the twelve mon. tried nnd true , returned th
verdict , declaring that Olmstead was no
the winner , but that ho had tied Mr. V"
Hams , hi * running mate.
Olmstead was not satisfied with this vei
diet , alleging that it did not settle anything
according to his way of thinking , and a
once applied for a writ of ouster , which i
duo time was argued .and taken under ad
vlsement. It was this writ ithat was denied
this morning and it was Iho denying of the
same that caused Mr. Olmstead's sadness.
In passing upon the case tbo court said
that it was apparent to his mind that there i
had boon no fraud ifi the printing of the )
tickets which were sent to the Third Com
missioner district. County Clerk Sackett
made the proper copy for the printer and I
aflor that ho had corrected the proof. The i
testimony showed beyond a question of C
doubt that Williams had a plurality of ilvo
votes and that only flvo oC Olmstead's men i
were mimed and induced to vote for Johnson.
Taking it for granted that all of these men
ywiliUuiY < i.yoied forOlmstoad , then and in
that ovont. l\b \ could no moro than have tied 1
Williams. In n recent decision , said tlio
court , the supronio couxt.had held that If a
candidate objected to the form of the ballots ,
that objection would .havo to appear on
record bo fora the holding of the election. In
this case Olmstead had lllo.l no objection
until after the election and the counting of
the votes.
SiiKtalnril tlio Vordlot.
Hoturnin ; ; to the verdict of the Jury ,
Judge Ferguson said that twelve men , all
peed citizens , bad hoard the evidence and
had for two days deliberated upon the Issues ,
after which they had rolurned the verdict
that Olmstead did not hnvo a plurality of
tlio votes cast.lllf I Und that these decided
the case cohtrar.y to the law and the ovl-
tlciico , " continued the court. "I have got to
sot my Judgment up against theirs and say
that they were all wrong , something which
1 cannot do In the face of all of the evidence
which was adduced. 1 have examined the
authorities and my conclusions are that the
Verdict must stand nnd that the writ of
ouster will bo denied. It is clearly in evidence -
donco that Olmstead madu no effort to find
out that tlio ballots were wrontr , and for
that and for the other reasons as shown 1
do not think that I have any right to disturb
v the verdict. "
Olmstuad'.s ' attorney wanted to know what
* was to bo done about shaking off the tio. '
Judge Fonjuson told him that that was a
question that would have to bo argued , but
on the spur of the moment ho was of the
opinion that Williams could not bo com polled
to submit to such a proposition , though bo
-would hear arguments upon that feature of
the case next Monday morning.
When informed of the decision , Mr. Wil
liams said that hooxiiecteil nothing else , as
it had been known all of the the time that
Olmstoad was trying to run a big , bold bluff.
I lloRardiug the tic , ho said that ho was too
vy much of a Quaker to indulge in gambling or
ahiikiiiff dlco for placo. Ho declared that ho
bud Won thooflleo three times and thought
that that was about enough to en
title him to bo saved from any
further disturbance. "Vos. " ho continued
" 1'vo won it three times ; llrst at thu polls
then by a verdict of the Jurv , and now by
tlio decisio'i of the court , and now I propose
to have a stop put to this foolishness , "

JUSTICE WITHOUT MEROY.
I'ollro Court Visitor * ( Jot. n Touch of thn
JnilKa'4 Severity.
Judge Rcrka's breakfast yo.-tcrday evi
dently did not rest well or else ho came
down town with a determination to send nil
the prisoners who appeared before htm up
on the mil or else glvo them a street sen
tence. Only two out of the trlbo that was
shown up escaped without a lino.
The first person to bo paraded was Thomas
Klne , a vagrant , who thu day before had
told a pitiful story and was ordered to leave
town , When King was yanked up ho started ,
in on the old worm eaten story and was
promptly shut off by the court remarking :
"Thirty days on the hill , the llrst and last
live on broad and water. "
Next came the ton tramps captured near
the Union Pacific bridge i y Ornisby , Hayes
nnd Hudson. The sergeant said that for
two or three davs thp residents in th.it lo
cality had boon annoyed by tramps nnd that
when ho eamo upon the pang they wore
making an effort to clean up. Onoman , who
was called "Stumpy , " because ho had a
wooden leg , was trying to shave the rest of
the crowd. The whole outfit got a dose of
bread and water nt the county Jail.
Mrs. Beadle , who has quite a reputation
for dumping husbands frequently , was told
that tho'charge against her was drunk and
disorderly. According to the arresting oftl-
cers' report the woman wts ; chasing down
Wbolworth avenue with a Jag and. was yell-
ins at the top ot her voleo. The "lady" wont
below after a S1U lluo had been charged up
against her.
Two little 10-year-old lads by the name of
Olson marched up to plead not guilty to the
complaint which alleged that they mallei
ously destroyed fit worth of William Lcggo's
fence. Their trial was sot for Wednesday ,
and the boys were allowed to go after being
warned to bo In court early Wednesday
morning. .
It was in the casoacalnst James Bacon , a
suspicious character , "that Sergeant Ormsby
got his worn in as -knocker. . " Uaker is a
smooth looking gent who was arrested for
stealing some portable furniture from Mrs.
Kiihn's residence on St. Mary's avenue. As
Mrs. ICuhn is out of town , it was Innxmiblo
to Identify the man. The judge would have
discharged the prisoner if Ormsby hadn't
chipped in and claimed that Dauon was a
cho.ip card sharp anil an accomplice of
thieves. In his own defence Uacon said that
ho had lived in South Omaha fol- seven
years , and although admitting that ho
played cards , denied trial ho was a crook.
"Well , you go back to South Omaha , " said
the Judge , "and stay there. If wo find you
up hero again I will give you thirty days on
the streets. "
William Phillipswho works In the smelter ,
was up for shying a rock at Mary I'.ilo , a
neighbor. Bond for his appearance Tues
day was Uxcd at &M and Phillips wont down
intn his clothes and.pulled out enough money
to buy the whole city Jail. He gave up his
§ 20 ami left the court laughing.
Mrs. Bridget McDonagh , who lives at
Tenth and Davenport streets , appeared
against lior husband. Patrick , whom she
hail caused to be arrested for vagrancy. Ac
cording to the wife's story Pat would network
work , and had lived oil her scanty earnings
for years. The police sergeants vouched
for Mrs. MeDonagh's character as far as
being a respectable , hard working woman
was concerned , and the prisoner was lined
thirty days in the county jail , the llrst and
last live on bread and water. After receiv-
ing his sentence McDonagh cried like a
baby , and pleaded with the court to bo al-
lowed to go. Ho promised to go to work-and
never abuse his family again , but the court
wouldn't have it that way.
Yesterday morning Mickey Shea , alias
Kelly or Brady , who had been given
a street workers sentence Friday ,
tried n neat scheme to got out of
Kolng to work. Ho toro all his clothes
into shreds and stood in his cell door per
fectly naked when the time for going to
work came around. Some old clothes were
found nnd though they didn't lit like a tailor-
made suit Mlckoy had to wear thorn and was
sent forth loaded down with an extra chain
on his legs.
Complaint was made to the judge that not
enough tools had been provided for the street
gang and that it was useless for him to .send
any moro men down for street work. ' Well ,
it's no uso'for ' mo to send them to the county
jail to work , because up there tno prisoners
only play at working and as a rule have an
easy time 6Mt. When I send a man out to
work I want him to do manual labor and no ;
lay atound'in a cool cell. "
eSPECIAL -
SPECIAL SESSION" .
Nclirnska wuproiuo Court Ankml to Convene
luiil Stittlo the I'nvliif ; Cuau.
The Nebraska supreme court has been re
quested to convene in .special session to pass
upon the Omaha paving case. .Tho request
was formulated by Assistant City Attorney
Cornish and Prank'I1 , Uausom , and convoyed
to the honorable.members of the supreme
bench by personal letter to each. The letters
recite the fact that the matter is of such
public importance that it should bo passed
upon without delay , and the court Is re
quested to meet and render its decision upon
.
the case as submitted by the briefs liled , and
in accordance with Mr. Connoll's stipulation.
With the letters were sent copies of thu resolution
elution of the city council , signed by Mayor
Bern ! ! ) , urging the necessity of a decision
being handed down previous to September ,
, the regular time for convening of the court.
, Chief Justice Maxwoll.and Justice Norval
have doubtless received the request era this i ,
and an early reply is looked for. Justice
Post is in Chicago and cannot bo so readily
reached as the other members. However ,
littio'delay is anticipated in convoying to
- him the request.
Public work is almost at a standstill , and
r tho.scheduleiu City Engineer Kosowatcr's
ollico U proof of the fact , It shows that
( the number of contracts under execution are
iirnuiubor loss by one-third than should peat
at tills seasoa of the year. The number of
laboring men who havu in the past been
- upon the payrolls of the contractor * and city
regularly for a number of seasons and who
art ) now Idle is very largo. The work under
way includes a dozen s trout a that are being
graded , some of the contracts being small
and will soon bo completed. Four streets
nro being pavou , anil another week or HO
: will llnish those. Then thuro nro the four
main sewers that are boiug rushed to com
) pletion. Perhaps half a down small dis
trict sewers have been awarded to con
tractors and work will no immediately com
) menced , A few minor grading contracts
; have recently been awarded and they will
soon bo under way. There is no big work in
sight , unless the paving question la so sot-
tied that the Dual ordinances may be immediately -
0 ! diatoly passed and thu contracts awarded
on the forty or fifty districts where the pro
ceedings looking to the paviug huvo pro
gressed that far.
In case the supreme court holds that the
proceedings t'uis far looking to the paving
of Jho several streets have been regular , anil
in accordance with the charter provisions
the council can proceed and pass tno llual or
dinances directing the Board of .Public
Works to execute contracts for the work anil
caus.0 the same to bo donu , ThU will permit
the work to proceed , provided another ob

The county commissioners of Douglas
county have hold thu first meeting of tbo
now fiscal year , which commenced on tbo
llrst day of the present month , and bavo re
duced the levy , bringing It 17-10 nulls below
that of last year , which places the county
levy nt an oven 15 mills.
This was done at the mooting hold yester
day afternoon and from this ttmo on all of
the claims against the county will bo drawn
against the now lovy.
Tlio following shows the funds , the levy
and the amount of money that the 1803 as

ment , I 5-U ) , and Insane Judgment , 5-10 ;
making a total ot 1C 7-10 mills.
This year the hospital Judgment nnd the
Insane judgment funds have been wiped out ,
as these claims have boon paid In full. These
funds wore created for the purpose of payIng -
Ing off the Kynn It Walsh county hospital
Judgment and the Judgment which the state
had against the county for the caring for the
Insane ut the hospitals and aggregated $13-
No returns have boon received from the
state board , but the commissioners are of
the opinion that the levy against Douglas
county will bo considerable less than It was
last year. In fact , they know that It will bo
some less , as there can bo no levy for the
keeping of Iho Insane patients , the county
having made its own provisions for raising
the money for that purpose.

The school levy for the district of Soutl
Omaha was ilxcd at 0.0 mills and in tno
sixty-three country districts it was left sub
stantially the same as lust year.
Turning their attention to routine bus !
ness the commissioners declared that J. C
Whipplo was the lowest bidder for doing tbo
work of protecting the county road in the
vicinity of the south shores of Florence lake
and as a result they gave him the contract
Under its terms ho will complete the Job no1
later than September 1.
The request of the citizens of Soutl
Omaha for the appointment of an assistan
county physician for that city was placed in
thu ( lies , the commissioners holding that tbo
demands of the situation did not require tin
services of such an ofllclnl.
Superintendent H.iuck of the court hous
wrote that It would bo a good idea to rcno
vato the court rooms during the summer va
cation , and asked the commissioners wha
they thought of the scheme. This matte
was referred to the commlttoo on cour
house aud Jail.
County Clerk Sackott informed tbo boari
that ho was in receipt of a telegram whlcl
announced that the $0,000 cheeK put up by
Hayes it Son , the Cleveland , O. , banker
who bid for the $150,000 of road paving bond
and then refused to como to the center wit !
the cash to pay for the paper , had gene t
protest. This was turned over to the attor
ney who has charge of the oaso.
The Merchants National bank offered t
pay U per cent on all of the dally balances if
the commissioners would designate that
bank as the depository for the county funds.
The bank also handed in a bond in the sum
of 3 ! iO,000 that the money would bo cared
for and pi Id over to the county when
wanted. This proposition was referred , as
the clerk had not boon authorized to invite
bids lor the keeping of the funds.

Sewer Fund lIxliKintml.
The fund to pay for the construction of
main sewers in the city Is exhausted , and
the contractors having the work in hnn.l are
at a loss to know how to secure money on
their estimates , whieh are allowed as the
work progresses. The failure to dispose 0r 0f
the $100,000 sewer bonds is responsible for
the lack of funds. Comptroller OUon ccrtl-
ilcs to all contracts ns to the condition of
thu funds..ami In the instance of the sewer
contracts he cortllled tiiat the funds would
be available as soon as the bonds are dis
posed of. With this fact known the con
tractors started the work , and now , as the
funds are exhausted , they dcslro the city to
como to their relief , and not wait and run
the risk of soiling the bonds. The estimates
thut are allowed are practically the same as
a warrant , but the banks are not so liberal
as awhile back , and the contractors find it jj
dlflloult matter to roaluo on tlio estimates.

Fred Grantham , a well known citizen , hv-
Inif on Twenty-second between 1C and Ij
streets , has disappeared as completely us If
lie had hoort swallowed up by the Iowa cy
clone.
Orantham has boon employed ns book
keeper for Cotfman , Smiley & Co , the com
mission merchants , for the last four years ,
Friday evening ho took his wlfo to tbo lodge
of tbo Daughters of Ucbokab and leaving her
there at 8 o'clock said ho would call for her
when lodge was over. About 10 o'clock Mr.
Grantham called at tlio lodge room and was
told by thu uoor keeper that the meeting
was not over , but to return In about half nn
hour and he thought the business would bo
through with. This was tbo last soon of
Grantham.
F. Houseman , V7ho Is a brother to Mrs.
Grantham , walked homo with her from the
lodge , which did not adjourn until midnight.
They thought nothing particularly straugo
about the husband's absence , as ho bad been
frequently sent out by his employers to bo
gone over night and they supposed that this
was the case now. Yesterday morning Mr.
Houseman dropped Into Collman , Smiley &
Co.'s ofllco and there learned thatGrntithum
had not boon sent out by them.
A search was then made throughout the
building and no person could bo found who
had soon the missing man. The police were
notified both in this city and Omaha and at
midnight no trace whatever had boon found
of Grantham.
.Mr. Cotrmnu'4 Statement.
Mr. Coffmau was scon by a reporter for
TUB BISK. "I have not the slightest Idea
what has bccomo of Fred , " said ho. "Ho
was a faithful and competent employe und
was never away from this ofllce for an hour
before without telling us where ho was
going. 1 am certain that there is something
wrong now. Ho would not have left his
wlfo as ho did and gone away without leav
ing some word. So fur us wo know hi ?
books and accounts are all right. He has
worked for us for four years and wo have
allowed him to sign checks the sumo as any
member of the llrm. Wo hud the utmost
confidence in iitui. The only way I can ac
count for his disappearance is that ho is suf
fering from temporary abborrution of the

that Granthum uutud u nttlo queer. Mr.
Coffmun uskcd him a simple question and he
was several minutes giving a reply. Ho
seemed to bo either worrying over sonio matter -
tor or his thoughts were scattered. Grant-
hum Is not a strong man'physically. In fact ,
ho has been taking ineilicmo for some time.
Ho bad not made any 'particular complaint ,
nowovor , to his wife.
Mrs. Grantham was seen by the reporter
nt her home. She had not yet given his
disappearance much thought and was confi
dent that ho would turn up soon. After
learning for the first time that her husband
was not away on busiiiuss for his employers
she looked more worried , and was anxiously
awaiting the arrival of her brother to got
some news of his whereabouts. She said :
"I can assign no reason whatovnr for my
husband's leaving without giving mo notieo ,
as wo have lived happily and ihoro is abso
lutely no cause that I run nwaro of , cither
from a domestic standpoint or from business
troubles. Ho has not been In very good
health , but bis sickness has not boea sovori
enough to cuuso any mental aberration. II
it has Fred has said nothing to any of us
hero at home about it. Ho was with me
until 8 o'clock la the evening nnd did not
complain of fooling bad. Ho spoke of the
heat , but that was all. He bas remained
away all night several times before , but
always told 1110 that ho had been working
and would como home before breakfast in
thu morning. "
Wout-Agnliist the Wheel.
Mr. Smiley , a member of the live stock com
mission firm that employed Grantham , hoard
ilioro about bis bookkeeper yesterday after
THE EVKNINO BEE arrived than he would
ordinarily learn In a hundred years. Every
person ho mot had something 'to toll him
about Grantham. The hardest pill for Mr
Smiley to swallow was that Grantham spen
a great deal of his spare time gambling
This news stalled Smiloy. He had behoved
the follow to bo moral In every sense of the
business word. Ho had entrusted Him to
sign cheeks and handle the money for years ,
but it is safe to say that ho will never do it
again. The men who know him best SOT
that ho uovor touched liquor. The gambling
statement is pretty thoroughly veriticd.
After leaving his wife Friday ovciiing'Grant-
ham hud a chock for $10 cashed at Buruott
Bros' , clothing store. Thq chock was on the
Packers National bank , and was paid.
Grantham had a small Individual account
there , und still has a balance in his favor.
"That fellow Gr. nthum played roulette
until ho had a wheel In his beau , " Is the way
one man put It. Mr. Dovoro , ono of the
gamblers said that Granthum frequently
gambled In bis house , nnd would stay to wm
or lose flO or $50. Friday night ho played In
moro than ono of the gambling houses here.
Ho won at Dick Berlin's and lostut Dovoro's.
About 11 o'clock ho got ou a motor and went

OMAHA , July 8. To the Editor of THE BEB
The Now York Sun , in commenting on the
removal of Mr. John James Platt from th
position of American consul nt Dublin , in
dulges In complacent congratulation on tin
application of the party axe , and hangs ou
the heading "No Consuls for Life. " Tin
Sun says that as Mr. Piatt accepted thi
ofllco as a partisan ho must die the death o
a partisan , and in commenting on some complimentary
plimontary remarks by the Dublin Evening
Mail , which newspaper refers to Mr. Piatt' ,
graceful and vigorous poems , says that thl
is creditable to the consul , but has nothing
to do with the question of his removal. Thi :
may bo so from the partisan standpoin
raised by the Sun. "When men like Hawthorne
thorno and I owcll , " says Mr. Dana , "acccp
federal ofllco they accept it as partisans , am
ihoy have no moro right than thu pottles
heeler to expect to bo spared , "
It is this principle of vao victis as applied
to our consular service , that has wrought
unnumbered ovils. .Nathaniel Hawthorne
aud Jamus Kussoll Lowell honored their coun
try und udiled luster to our naino and fatno
abroad , but under the rule tboy are ranked
as potty heelers according to Dr. Dana.
It is possible to pick out a bright man from
cither the democratic or republican party
and honor him with a consulship , and If this
could always bo done the principle would
work moro equally , but the ward heeler also
has a thirst for European residence , and not
Infrequently you find him on the continent
und in the United ICiugdom , to the unutter
able delight and pleasure of uny cultivated
American who may visit his ofllco.
The Sun says a republican officeholder
under a democratic administration , or a
democratic otllcoholder under a republican
administration is in a false position , re
garded cither with reference to his own
party or to the administration , The only
way to avoid this Is to modal out consular
service after the English sysVum. Thuro Is
no danger of a man becoming unamoriean-
izod by a rusklcncu ahroad If you first ap
point the right son of a man. A consular
appointment for life would menu that a man
holds a high nnd honorable position so long
as ho serves his country with honesty and
fidelity , and ho would have every Induce
ment imaginable so to do. Under our sys
tem the ward heeler carries his principle
that "tho winner wins" into his consulate ,
and If after four years of moro or less study ,
ho becomes a tolerably cfilclont ofllcer , he is
then bounced to make room for the opposite
party who has just como into pouor.
Considering that a United States consul
performs a purely business function und that
in almost every consulate , save und except a
very few of the first-class , ho receives a
government clerk's salary ana further , that
as nn American business man ho burns his
ships behind him when ho loaves Now York ,
It wauld scorn that the service would bo best
sustained by glvin ? him n permanent job
based entirely ui > ou efficiency iu ofllco , with
the hope of promotion and added puy.
An English consul Is no loss English
whether you find him in the Sandwich
Islands , San Francisco , Boston or Naples ,
He has his government solid behind him for
life. His course is Uxod nnd the pcrninncnco
of his utUco rests absolutely with himself ,
They give good service and one hears very
little of malfeasance iu ofllco among them.

as oho pored the culfeo , "what does it

that sort of thingV"
"It means that there Is an uneasy fool
ing ubant securities , " answered Mr.
Clmgwator , within earshot of the Chicago
cage Tribune.
"What does that moan ? "
"Why. stocks and bonds , and um
speculative values generally. "
"What makes then\ have an uneasy

"It's the otioratora , you understand ,
"
the Humidors" , that have that. When
there comes a stringency in the money

"In the money market ? Do they sell

"Thoy sell RocuriUes , which Is about

bond market is an index of thu linanulal
bltuatlon generally. "
"I don't seem to understand , it any
hotter than I did before , " mild Mrs.
Chugwater dubiously. "What is it that
makes money source sometimes ? Does
the government quit making it ? "
"No. It's simply withheld from invest
ment in ordinary speculative channels.
It's withdrawn from circulation and ,
hoarded up. Can you understand that ? "
"Y-yes , I suppose so. What does any
body want to withdraw it from circula

"It'riall a matter of public confidence , "
said Joshua , becoming slightly impa
tient. ' 'When

AN ACCOMPLISH2D CAT.
Illiiclc us Night unit us llrlght us Ho Is
UlacU.
In that part of the city bounded by
Fourth and Seventeenth streets aud
Third and Sixth avenues , says the New
York Herald , there uro at least a thou
sand people who are well acquainted
with "Niggor , " the pot of District No.
28 of the American District Telegraph
company , at 85-1 Broadway.
Niggor is a handsome and accom
plished black cat eight years of age. Ho
belongs to Chief Clprkr Peter Brossard ,
and is remarkable in many ways.
People are often astonished on enter
ing the telegraph ollice to see Nigger
sitting on a stool before the d < Mk with a
pen behind Ills loft car. There is a
legend in the ollice that ho has been scon
to take the pen in his paw and ail'ect to
wrilo a telegram , but his master does
not vouch for this.
Nigger does not lap his saucer of milk
after the nanner of ordinarycats. Ho
hollows his right paw and , scooping up
the lacteal lluid , conveys it to his mouth.
When ho eats a chop or piece of beef he
sits upright like a squirrel and holds the
meat between his paws.
lie is a wonderful jumper and knows
moro tricks than any professional per
forming cat. As a mouser ho lias u rec
ord of thirteen rats in twenty-live miu
utos. . . _ ' .
Every morning at II o'clock a great
batch o f telegrams comes for a big milk
concern at Fourth street and Sixth ave
nue. Niggor knows when tlie.so mes
sages are taken from the ollico and never
fails to follow the hey who carries them
to their destination , where a little cun
of fresh milk is waiting for the cat.
Niggor has more than once appeared
in theatrical performances at the Union
Square , ut tlio Star and at Amberg's
theutor. It used to ho a regular custom
with Mr. Amberg to take the cut homo
to Sunday dinner with him.
Last winter the employes of District
US presented Niggor with u handsome
silver collar. Next day the cut disap
peared. It was the lirst time ho hud
over cared to wundor from his own lire-
Hide , and the silver collar was un
doubtedly responsible for this trip. Nig
ger was gone three weeks and was given
up for lost , when ono night he came
dashing into the telegraph oillco , ragged
and dirty , without his collar and his
foot stained with the rod clay of Now
Jersey.
There are those who say cats are not
affectionate. They should have wit-
nostiod Kiggor kissing and caressing his
muster after ho hud leaped into his
a.-ins.

United States penitentiary at Sioux Falls ,

isu ; ) . "
Thus ended the logat prosecution of ono of
the most remarkable cases in the hlstoryof
Nebraska , Charles W. Moshor , the Caplt.il
National bank wrecker , ot Lincoln was
called Into court yesterday at noon to
receive his llnal sentence. Several weeks
ago ho was arraigned for trial and pleaded
guilty to the crime of falsifying the records
of the Capital National bank for .tho pur
pose of deceiving the bank oxaminor. All
that remained to bo done in the case was the
fixing of the time and place of confinement
by the Judge and In Iho words given above
the llnaliiet was performed.
The morning session of court had been ad
journed and not moro than a dozen persons
were present when the sentence was pro
nounced. Judge Uundy had retired to his
ofileo and when District Attorney llaldrldgo
was ready for the dlsjiosal of the case tno
Jtldgo asked the marshal 16 call the prisoner
In. Mr. Mosher came In , accompanied bv
ono of bis attorneys , Mr. Charles Magoou of
Lincoln. The bank wrookor a'ppoarod to ho
in good spirits , hut exhibited a keen Intoic.st
in that which -was about to take place. Ho
were a dart suit of common looking cloth
ing , a negiiiro shirt and a straw hat. llo
looked the Judge fairly in thu face as the
sentence was pronounced , but said not a
word In response.
llrluf Slop at Lincoln.
When the Judgi ) had finished giving the
sentence ho picked up a small dooumuntd an
after looking at it a moment 1m said1 :
have horn before mo an application for a
habeas corpus and to.stllleandum Illinl by
certain lawyers who represent llio rooolver
for the Capital National bank. They are
dwUrous of having you taken to Lincoln or
held hero to assist with your Knowledge and
evidence in straightening out the alTulrd of
that financial institution. I shall permit
the marshal to take charge of you and glvo
these people an opportunity to reap what
ever advantairo there may bo from your as
sistance in getting the affairs of ttio bank
cleared up. It is not nocensary for
mo to act upon rfio habeas corpus
petition right away. I will say riiht ?
now that you need not bo taken
immediately to Sioux Falls if you can bo of
any use to the receiver in adjusting the
affairs of the bank. If I find , however , that
you are not inclined to lend any assistance
or to toll what you know about the accounts
of the bank , or that you are roully of no
assistance to the receiver then I slitill in
struct Iho marshal to take you at once to
the place of confinement 1 have designated
in the sentence. "
Will Amlit tlio Uonnlvnr.
Mr. Magoon assured Iho judge that Mr.
Moshor cou'd be , if ho would , of great assist-
xnco to the receiver and ho thought tlv.it
"itoshor would gladly do all he could to
traightL'ii out the accounts and throw as
much light as ho could on the situation.
When asked how long Mr. Moshor would
) o permitted to remain at Lincoln , the Judge
viid that ho mUht ; let him stay there several
veeks , but It all depended on bis ability to
nako himself useful to these interested in
getting the pieces of the broken bank to-
: ether.
Marshal White took charge of Mr. Mosher
nnd they wont to dinner at tlio Merchants.
Mosher will probably bo taken to Lincoln
this oveningor Monday morning.
Speaking of his case this morning to a Ben
reporter Mr. Mosher said : "I shall feel
wonderfully relieved when I know the exact
size of tbo dose I am compelled to takfl. This
; hing of waiting around hero for weeks has
jeen very trying to mo. I have felt that I
was on a toboggan slide with no bottom to it.
When 1 get where I can see the end of the
whole thing I shall breath a nigh of rcllof
oven if the end should bo forty years ahead
of mo. "
After the sentence had been pronounced
lie said ho saw the end and felt bettor.
Moshor expects to reduce his term of con-
lincment by good behavior to about three
years and eight months , which ho can do if
iio lives strictly up to the rules of the prison
where ho is to b oconllucd.
Tulcoii to thu County Jull.
After the irmrshal and Mr. Moshcr had
taken dinner , Marshal White loft the pris
oner in charge of a deputy for a short time
.ind then , as ho was about to depart for Ills
homu at Plattsmoiith to spend Sunday , ho
decided not to run the risk of permitting
Mosher to enjoy any unnecessary liberty , so
ho directed tlio deputy to take the bank
wrecUcr to the Douglas county Jail aud lock
him up.
Moshor accepted the change of program
philosophically , although it was very plain
to bo soun that it wont decidedly against the
trraln. Ho was permitted to enjoy thu free
dom of the Jail ofllco during the aitornoon
and evening-and was given the most com
fortable quarters for a prisoner that 'thu
Douglas comity basiilo affords.
Ho was seen by a Bin : reporter lust evenIng -
Ing and talked freely about his surrounding *
and about the future.
" 1 shall do all I can to help utrnlghtnn out
the affairs of the Capital National bank , "
said the prisoner. " 1 fool very sorry for the
poor people down thoru who lost all their
money. I don't care a darn for the state , as
a matter of fact , but I do fool sorry for the
depositors. It looks to mo as though the de
positors and myself Had been ground up
pretty line in this dual. Wo have got the
worst of It all the way through , but the
'
whole thing i's settled now and we might
Just as well make tlio host of the situation , "
