The sliitrmcnt sent out from Washington
early in the week purporting to give the

Nebraska during the llrst clcht months of

Bt ite since January 1 of the present your ,
fnit that not more than islx and in all proba

of Palmyra , in this county. Miss Aschor
was formerly employed in tlio auditor's ofllco
nt the state capitol , but since leaving the
utate's service has been engaged as a dress
maker. She was Hoiick's betrothed wife
nnd claims that during their engagement ,
which has continued for over two years , ho
anticipated his conjugal rights , and that she
now llnds herself in a position where ho
must make good his promises to marry her
or forever disgrace horand her unborn child.
She-had Ilouck anvsted Wednesday night
on the charge of illegitimate parentage , and
ho has been endeavoring over since to ollcct
a compromise.The young lady onlv asks
him to make her his wife and refuses to com
promise upon any other bams.

D. 13. Thompson and L. C. Hurr , both
prominent and wealthy citUens of Lincoln ,
liavo signed a petition asking the State
Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings to
purchase hard coal for heating the .state
house this winter. They both own hand-
fionw homes across the .street from the state
house and claim that the dense black smoke
from the state house boilers Is gradually
mining the paint on tbolr bouses , yl'he
hoard has as yet taken no action and prob
ably will not. The people of Lincoln make
light of the petition , for there has been a
standing complaint against the dense stnoko
from the boilers of tbo Hleclriu Light com
pany , of which Mr. Thompson Is president
nnd principal owner. The Hurr block ,
located in the center of the business portion
of the city , also uses soft coal for heating
purposes and llio complaints against tbo

many other la fire buildings in the cltv , have

sl.ito was elected without a break ,
but there are several on the delega
tion who are in favor of Boyd , but
who are still friendly to Harris. In the

fancied , and there wore sixty candidates and
only nineteen uologates to bo elected. An

"No , 1 don't believe the repeal of the tax
upon state bank circulation will be repealed
by the congress , " saKl Chairman Springer
to Tin : Hm : correspondent this attcrnoon ,
after the house committee on banking and
currency had listened to the argument of
the representative of the slate of Alabama
In favor of his measure looking lo lhal end.
"In llio llrst , place , " continued Chairman
Springer , "tho committee is divided , and no
doubt the house Is cvon inure at variance
upon the subject. When Iho democrats in
their national platform last year declared In
favor : of the repeal of the prohibitory tax
they simply proposed lo leave Iho matter In
the hands of the states. Those In favor of
the plan in congress , however , propose
going ' much further. Kvcry man in congress
has his own Individual notion about what
'
'should be done , and no two seem to have
exactly the same idea.
Some would simply remove Iho tax and
leave every thing else to the stales. Others ,
and what appears to bo a largo majority ,
would extend over state lunk lissuosj fed
eral inspection. Others would provide for a
uniform issue of state bank currency by the
federal government , so as to guard against
counterfeiting. * . Still others would compel
the banks to submit their securities , slate ,
county , municipal , ruilro.id bonds or other
securities , to tbo comptroller of the cur
rency for approval , and then require their
deposit with the treasurer of the United
Stales. ! They would not leave that with the
stale treasurer.
No DUerlitiltiiitlon for St.ito I tail l ( ft.
Others would go oven further , and I would
myself . , and not discriminate in favorof state
bankers , and would place all banks of issue
upon llio same footing by permitting national
and other banks to issue [ circulation upon
other securities than federal bonds. Why
should we compel national banks to deposit
government securities lo secure circulation
and permit state banks to deposit stale ,
county , municipal , railroad and other bonds
or stocks ? You can see that there are so
many ideas that wo are not likely to get to
gether. "
"Do you believe the committee on banking
and currency will favor the proposition to
give national banks par value of circulation
upon bonds deposited , as on independent
measures ? "
"H is my impression that a majority of
the committee favor that bill , " replied Mr.
Springer , "and that it will bo ultimately
passed. "
"What are the prospccls of Iho Bryan bill
to tax national bank deposits n quarter of
1 per cent for the purpose of raising a fund
out of which to pay depositors in failed
bunks without usual delay J"
"Tnat measure has not yet boon reached
by the committee , but 1 can say now that it
moots with much opposition , both In and out
of Iho committee. 1 don't bellevo it could
pass either branch of congress , for the
reason that it is a step in a drection re-
irardcd dangerous for the general govern
ment. It Is in the direction of insuring do.
posits in institutions owned by privalo per
sons. I don't believe there will bo any
effort made in the house to secure aclion
upon any financial logislalion unlit Iho silver
bill is out of Iho way. Wo want no con

California and England have refused to
abide by the decision of Iho judges of awards
on wine exhibits. This action was agreed
upon. California and Great Hritain have
never been satisfied with thu system of mak
ing awards as put in force by John Hoyd
Thatcher. Charles \\otinore , in charge
of the California exhibit in Horticultural
hall , appealed to Governor Marlcham of his
state to allow him to appoint a special ex
port to examine the exhibit. Governor
Markham gave him the right to make the
move and Mr. Wetmoro ut once communi
cated with Sir Henry Wood of the Itritish
commission regarding the matter. The
Hrltish commission accepted the plan , and
Charles F. Oldham has been engaged as
special export to examine and report upon
Iho California and English exhibits. Mr.
Oldham Is a well known London wino mer

thority.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
I'.ltrlclt .MoMulkin IVmncl Dead nt Ills
Home Last livening ; .
Patrick MoMulkin was found dead in a
shanty on Twenty-first street , between Q
and R , about 5 o'clock last evening. The
ghastly llnd was made by n neighbor , who at
once reported the case to the polico.
Mr. McMulkin was a man ever GO years of
ago. Ho had boon living in South Omaha
for about four years. For the last year ho
nas neon employed as porter around llio
Worln'3 Fair saloon. At 0 o'clock Thursday
night Pat loft the saloon to go to his shanty.
The bartender asked him to have a drink
before ho started for homo. Pat said ho
was not feeling well and would not drink
anything stronger than water. This was
the last time ho was seen alive by any ono
who know him. Ho evidently went direct to
his shanty and. being taken sick during the
night , got UP off his bunk and made un ef
fort to got to the door for fresh air. When
discovered ho was lying on his back in the
doorway with his bare feet protruding
through tlip entrance. His shoe * and stockIngs -
Ings were the only apparel ho had removed.
The belief is that the old man died of
heart disease , but Coroner Maul will make a
thorough investigation of the case this morn
ing before dutorminihg whether or not ho
will hold an Inquest. The body has been re
moved to llio undertaking rooms of Brewer
& Sloan.
Mr. MoMulkin was a quiet old fellow and
did not bother any person. Ho had been
quite dissipated at times , hut was
never quarrelsome. Ho has three children ,
two daughters and a son , who live in Kim-
'as , but Just where no ono seems to know.
Ono daughter and the son are married and
are in good circumstances. An effort will
bo made to locate them.
Tliut Tlrril Knulliitf.
'You are discharged , " shouted Judge
Fowler to Tom Whitman , and his honor
turned In his seat as , though ho was utlorly
disgusted with the man who had made the
iirrost. There was a suspicion that Whit
man had stolen 50 cents from some saloon
bar , but no evidence that amounted to a con
viction. "I am gelling awful llrcd of hav
ing Iho police bring in men hero day after
day on trivial charge ? , " said the
Judge , "and then have to discharge
thorn for lack of evidence. I
propose to have It stopped If possible. "
Mayor Walker came In just In time to give
tlio Judge an opportunity lo talk the manor
over and It Is quite likely that there will bo
a lively shaking up among tbo police within
the next few days. There bus been discord
in iho force for a long lime. Chief Hcckelt
Is not Riven much authority In the matter
and the mayor has apparently not interested
himself enough to got at the facts. There
Is some good material on the South Omaha
police force , but the men will liavo lo bo
handled diftorcnlly in order to got better
work done.
