The Idea of the loaders of the rebel forces is to offer Inducements to the great army of unemployed passing through tnls point from California , and by tliolr aid to effect the cap. turo of the northern states of Mexico. Ko- bclllon Is already manifest in the south of that republic nnd the army Is so badly scat- terrd that Us effect j scarcely felt In any nuarter. , It Is rumored that the circular was printed and Is being circulated by Victor U Ochoa , former editor of the Hlspano Ameri cano in thli town , nnd that the United States marshal hai a warrnt for his arrest for violating the neutrality laws. SHOT IN THE HEAD. I.evrls Mcl'liemon Found Hiully Wounded niut In nn Uiieniinijloin Condition , A man supposed to bo Lewis McPherson was found In an unconscious condition near Valley about B o'clock yesterday morning. Ho had been shot In the right side of the head , and It Is almost certain that the wound will prove fatal. Ho was found near the depot , lying near the railroad tracks , and had evidently laid there for several hours. No weapon was found In the vlclnlty.and It looks considerably like a case of attempted miir- der. Omaha officers were notified and ycsterJay they were watching for the assailant. McPnerson Is not known hero or In Valley , but letters in his possession imlicato that ho has a father , J. II. McPhorsou. who Is llvlcg in Brockinrldgc , Tex. Ho has been tele graphed by the authorities , but late last night no response had been received. The wounded man Is under the care of a surgeon In the Valley hotel , but the doctor thinks he will not recover. It was reported late last night thai the shooting was done by Oliver Dale , who has n brother living in this city who was until some time ngo an employe of the Now York Life company. From what could bo learned , but not con- llrmcd , it scorns McPherson has-been husking corn for a farmer near Valley and u few days asro ho quarreled with Dale. The men met late Saturday night and renewed tlio trouble , whioh resulted in the shooting. Sheriff Bennett was searching for Dale last iilitit , but at last accounts had been unable to capture him. About midnight itvas re ported that McPherson could not llvo until morning. But meager details could bo learned about the affair , as the officers would not talk about the matter. t BU3Y BUKGLAKS. Tlirco Itobbcrlos lleportcil to the 1'ollou I.imt Might. Several burglaries were reported at pollco headquarters last night. John Sacol's ba- loon. at 1102 Willi.uns street , was entered and burglarized of four gallons of whisky , several hundred cigars , a flno now overcoat and a small amount of money. Another place was entered on Thirteenth street. Detectives Savage and Bloom were .detailed to Investigate the robberies and about 1 o'clock this morning \\\oy \ discovered tvo young mon counting money on the Union Pacific bridge on Fourteenth street. The detcctlSres were underneath the ircst.lo work nnd If they attempted logo to the men they would bo discovered. The officers draw their guns nnd made n dash for the thieves who jumped down n steep embankment and got away in the darkness. A shot sent after them only increased their speed. They loft the money on the bridge. There was S7.C3 in nickels nnd dime's , which the detectives took to the ptatiou. It is thought that these are the men who com mitted all the burglaries. Ono of the proprietors of the fruit stand at the corner of Twonty-thira and Cumlng streets reported to the police last nttjlit that ho had loft his partner In charge of the place early In the evening. About 10 o'clock Officer VanoUs found the place standing ropcn. Ho carried in the stock which had been displayed on the side walk nnd locked tlio door. An investigation led to the discovery that fJT in money and 8.'worth of candy were missing. Thojfirst partner thinks ho was robbed by the man ho left In charge of the placo. Ho did not give his name to the oUlcers and Bald ho would inuko n complaint in the police court this morning. b' J'AK.tS.lAT Sl'C'JTtr. 1'olk County 1'ciul Clulmn Another Victim Anionc : the i'ulc ( .

WASIIINOTOX BuncAU OF THE BRE , ) D13 FOCIITEKNTII SinKET : , > WASIIINHTOX , Nov. . . 19. I It has been many years slnco the annual report of the comptroller ot currency has baen awaited with us much interest a the ono which is oxp3Cted to bo made public within the next two weeks. Mr. James II. Eckels , the comptroller , who is n skillful lawier and Is making a brilliant record as the controller of the national bankln ? sys tem , lias nn opportunity to make a great reputation. It lies within hU power to dic tate to congress the legislation which is anticipated upon the banking and currency questions. There are what appear to bo Irreconcila ble differences , not only in the house com- mlttoo on banking and currency and the senate committee on flnanco , but among the leading members of the orodomlnant party upon ono or two questions which threaten to defeat all currency legislation. Chairman Springer of the former committee , to your correspondent the other day Indicated ono trouole which has divided his committee , and which will seriously divide both the house and senate if the proposition over comes before these bodies , and Is likely to defeat nny legislation unon the subject of state bank circulation. Air. Springer says that if it is proposed to "federallzo" slate banks by extending the national banking o\- amlnnttoh system , or if In permitting state banks to issue circulation upon private securities , it is provided that they shall bo subject to approval by the comp troller nf the currency or the treasurer of the United States ; or. if there is a provision that all of the currency shall bo printed by the government , in order to make it uniform and avoid the invitation to whole sale counterfeiting , it will bo hold * .hat the law gives to state banks privileges which uro not extended to national banks. It will bo charged thut the state banks are given all of the advantages which national banks have without being requited to moot the rigorous laws under which the latter op erate. Duns lor Inditlon. Mr. Springer says his committee intends to report a general currency measure which will provide circulating medium clastic in character and sufficient In volume to meet all emergencies. This means that the power of the government to redeem , in coin , cither gold or silver , all of the obligations which It will put out under the now law will bo called into question , und that the subject of a bond Issue will bo arrayed in opposition to the issuance of treasury notes. When ever a bond issue and an issue of treasury notes are brought into conflict thu differences In opinions in congress become so great as to bo almost Irreconcilable , and it is believed that if those differences cannot bo avoided they will defeat any measure. The ireo silver men in both branches of congress are opposed lo an issue of bonds , because it means an enlargement of the inlerest-bear- 115 ; debt. They demand an issue of tre isury notes , redeemable , as the outstanding notes nro in coin , which may and may uot be inter- ireted to mean polii or silver. A suggestion has been made that the basis of circulation for national banks may bo changed in such a way as to provide an elastic currency with which the government may meet emergencies simitar to the ono encountered in the recent panic. Thosug- gcstion is that instead of national bank circulation being based on government bonds t bo based upon com , gold or silver bullion , reasury notes or certificates of the govern- ncnt , and that par value of circulation be ssued and all the tax on national bank circulation abolished , down to the point vuich will barely cover the expense of irintlnsr national bank notes : lnd operat- ng the system under the olllce if tlio comptroller of currency. It s hold that national banks would increase , hclr nrosont circulation from about $140- 000.000 to the full limit which they may have under the law , about 000,000,000. It is true that this would increase the money at the disposal of the government to tbo extent of ibout 8100,000,000 , and that if ontoone-fourth ; of this amount was necessary to Uo held to meet the demands of the banks , there might bii an addition of something like $309,009,0JO of margin in cash placed at the 'disposal of the treasury with which to moot emer gencies and panics. But if national banks woru not permitted to make any profit upon their circulation there would bo no induce ment for them to take out tlio full limit of circulation on their capital , although they might bo required to do so by law. Voorlieos * Uottlett Vitriol. If Senator Voorhccs is half assovero in the public speech on the pension question which he proposes to deliver when the seu.Uo moots next month as ho has been In various per sonal conversations , ho will bo sensational in thu extreme. To his friends on the streets and in the hotel corridors the Indiana sen ator , who is skilled in vituperation , has em ployed the severest expletives whicfi an old lawyer and debitor could lay his tongue to whenever he has had occasion to refer to Hoko Smith , secretary of tlio interior. Tlioro is ouo term which no bravo whlto man likes to hear nnd not resant that tlio Indiana senator has used very frequently and with great de liberation and applied to the Georgia secre tary of Iho interior in his individual capacity. ' The senator the other day. in tallilnu to'a personal friend , clenched his fists , grated hU teeth savagely , und employed the pro vincial terra , "wluto-livercd , " as anplicable to tbo man who was suspending pensions and condemning pensioners without n trial. It is true that John , T. Ingalls of Kaunas fairly 'chewed UD und spit out1' the present chair man of the scnata committee uii finance in the coursqof n personal speech a few years ago , but tha Hooslor statesman showed a great deal of ability In thu use of expletives and denunciation when ho made hisrurly. Senator Voorhccs may bo charged wlth'n great munv shortcomings but his bit terest enemy has never had the hardihood to say that ho was not an adept at repartee , or thnt ho could not hold his own with any man in congress when ho condescended to get upon the same level of debate. It is stated that Senator Voorhees prepared his tirade against the anti-pension policy of this administration just boforn ho delivered his pro-it cpeooh in support of the bill to unconditionally repeal the silver law , and that ho added his caustic touches to the secretary of the Interior. Ho is said to have read it over to a frlfliid , or to have verbally outlined its character , ni.d thai ho was advised to refrain from Us do- llvoi-y in connection with the silver speech , us It would loud to detract from the force of his piimary argument and deprive it of much of its usefulness \yith the past miug before him like a dream and the shadow of Hoko Smith , his personal enemy , hovering about him , It U expncted that Senator Voprhoea will try to outdo himself In his great pension speech In personal denunciation and general vitupera tion. If he should coin a few phrases which will luiidly express hU peculiar stormy feel ings and illuminate the dark and foreboding anti-pension sky with n few flashes of Wabash lightning his cronlns lu Washington will not bo surprised ; but if Kunator Voor- heox falls short of u master stroke ho will no a great disappointment to those to whom ho has desciibeti intentions. \Vurrlntf ou ii WCK ! , SocietalMortnn is pa.ying luorp atten tion to liusian ( affairs lust now than to. flioso affecting cither Hawaii or Ilra/ll , ' The Kus- xian thistle , which threatens much damage In the northwest-is to bo fought by scien- lltlo forces uiultr Secretary Morton , in the hope of exterminating thu Intruder , U H.

When the ground is frozen In November and the prairie breezes begin to practice for the wlritor this small root Is twisted off nnd the whole plant turns up on edge llko a cart wheel and goes off before the wind , scatter ing seeds at every revolution , It takes com plete possession of cultivated land , choking out the wheat and other crops. The rigid bulky plants often make It Impossible td run harvesting ma chinery , nnd sometimes oven stopi olows. It Is often necessary to bind leather or other protection on tno horses' legs before they can bo driven among the spiny words. Trains have been stopped by the thistles banking up on the tracks ; prairie fires nro carried lone distances by the burning thistles blowing across llro breaks. In many other ways this torrlblo weed causes serious damage. The movement now on foot in the northwest to petition congress to give the secretary of agriculture power to Institute vigorous measures ns was done in the case of plouro-pnoumonla among cattle n few years ago will bo pushed by the northwestern members. A judicious expenditure of $3,000,000 now , It is believed , would probably exterminate the thistle. It did damage to that amount last year. This year the loss is twlco that sum , and If the wocti is allowed to go unchecked thcro Is every probability that the damage will go ou Increasing In geometrical ratio. 7.iillii8lcl IJiKcr to SOFT * .

The ways and means committee Hopes to complete the tariff bill and gtvo It out to the public about the close of tlio present wook. A fear is ex pressed by some of the democratic members that the differences which have recently arisen among their number about the policy of an income tax may prolong tbo final com- pletloa-of the measure until n later date , but every effort will bo made to get the bill before fore the public at the earliest possible moment. At the general conference of democratic raombors tomorrow tbo discus sion will bo resumed ns to the policy of adopting an income - como tax , and as all the essential features of the bill practically depend upon the adoption or rejection of this policy thoother details of the measure will probably bo hold in abeyance until the committee has finally como to a conclusion on an income tax. Representative Cockran of Now York Is strongly opposed to the adoption of the Income - como tax provision , but It appears now that ho * vill stand alone among the democratic members unless Chairman Wilson should como to his aid. The poslMon of Mr. Wilson on the subject is still regarded by the Income tax men as somewhat indefinite , since ho has been frequently reported as being in the anamolous position of favoring it in theory but doubting Its practicability and its ex pediency ns a party moasuro. AS to the important articles to bo added to the free list , there is no longer any ques tion that they will embrace wool , lumber , iron ore. coal , salt , cotton bagging , binding twine , rico and many other commodities of loss importance. The present bounty ou sugar will bo repealed , but It is still possible the committee mav decide to impose a slight import duty In order to satisfy the sugar cano raisers of the south and the sugar boot growers of the west. There is little probability , however , of the duty being ns high as that requested by the American Manufacturers association IJ cents per pound. The highest duty thus far discussed Is 1 cent per pound and the opinion of most of the committee sccir.s divided between 14 a cent a pound and ad mitting it entirely free of duty.

Walker Whltosldos demands serious con sideration , not unly from Iho IhtmUst-giulng public but from the critics as well. Handi capped as ho was last night at Hoyd's with rather ordinary support , with slow curtains and meager stngosottlngs.his "Othello" was n sentient potentiality , a living , breathing re flection of the Moor who wrought so dlrotully In Cyprus. Not In a long tlmo has n young actor como so prominently before the people In so short n period as has this young tragedian who sucms to have risen from out of the mists to a commanding position on the American stage. It is n pleas ure to chronicle a success that nt first scomod vague and shadowy , and unless all signs fall Omaha today will ring with the praises of this youne ircnlus who has "como out of the west1 that despised section in eastern minds , to take up the legitimate where It was loft with the passing of Edwin Booth. It must not bo thought that the Othello of Mr. Whltestdos is faultless , for It is not , but thcro are so many elements of marvelous Intuition shown In the portraiture of the Moor thnt those who wont to the theater to jeer remained to pray. Ordinarily the theater-goer will criticise the physique of Mr. Whltcsldc , which Is lltho and symmet rical , rather than largo and muscular , which tradition lias associated with this most notable tlpuro in literature , owned body and soul by the "groou-eyed monster. " But the Moors , and particularly these In Venice , were not noted for their herculean proportions , on the contrary , if wo are to accept history , they were of ordinary build , sinewy and strong like the weapon which they invented the clmolor. Mr. Whltesldo has a wonderfully pleasing voice , rich in tone and beautifully modulated. And never was the famous speech commencing "most potent , grave and rover nd seniors , " read In such faultless style as was accorded It by this slender young actor , who dominated the scene by his earnestness , by tlio force of a line dramatic instinct. Tlio Desdemona of Miss Wolston was a most agreeable surprise. It was finely con ceived and well read. Siio brought to the part a beautiful stage presence and a sweet modesty that was most , refreshing. Coining as she docs directly from the ranks of the "society" players , having been seen in Omaha last season in "Alabama , " her tri umph last nlfeht was nil the moro reninrK- able. Mr. Vroom made a manly , earnest Cassio , which cannot bo said of Mr. Stockton's lago , his disposition to rant marring his performance - formanco roatly , There was little now bus iness introduced , the conventional prompt book being generally followed , although the drinking scene wherein Cassio is made drunk is somewhat moro elaborated than is gun- orally given thiseplsode. Tonleht Mr. White- side will play "Hamlet , " and tueator-gocrs may anticipate n real treat. Fl toontli street Theater. "Oh , What a Night" is a genuine favorite in Omaha , as was evidenced last night at the Fifteenth Street theater , when Charles A. Barter and his clover company of actors played to the capacity of this popular place of amusement. Mr. Lodcr has a pleasing personality and his Gorman dialect flows as sweetly as a mountain brook. Ho is funny with out overdoing the part of Judpn Pottgoisor. Next to Mr. Loder , , the major portion of the farce falls to Charles E. Ed wards , who plays the opposite part of the Irisnman with delightful unction. Mr. Ed wards is one of the best low comedy farceurs on the stage , and his work last night caught the fancy of these in front from the rlso of the curtain. Miss Mina Gennell plays the soubrette role of Chic admirably. She is u pretty minx and danced and satig her way into the hearts of the audience from the very beginning. Harry Shunk plays a negro character with considerable vim , while a number of clever people , among them several capable young women , assist in developing the story , which goes with snap. n'OJTOEKt'Ul.l.1' TIME. . .

The snow at this point is seven foot deep , and considerable dlfiicully was experienced in hauling wugbns and supplies into camp. The weather has been unusually sovcro ut the headwaters of the Clearwater river dur ing the past few days , and tlio impression is gaining ground that ail attempts to find and rcscuo the imprisoned men will prove fruit less. Indian hunters have long since been driven from the mountains by the severity of the storms that have been raging since early in October. In numerous cases they have Iteon obliged to sacrifice their horses in order to escape , and it is not regarded that u party of plcasuro seekers composed principally of men unused to privation would bo able long to survive such hardships.

[ Special to TUB Hr.K. ] Tlio notion of the flro insurance companies In raising their rates in South Dakota is causing a general uprising on the part of the people. Even at the old rates it has been shown that South Dakota Is and has been ! profitable Held fur the insurance commutes. During the past ten years the people of this city alone have paid In premiums 135,000. During that time thcro were losses to the amount of only $3,500 , paid by insurance companies. In retaliation for the ralso in rates the citizens of Chamberlain will hold n mooting In a fows days to discuss various plans look ing to the curtailment of the business trans acted by the insurance companies horo. i'ho plan which soums to meet all the re quirements and which has boon much dis cussed am ing the p.ist few days , Is as fol lows : Appoint n board of directors of thrco or four whoso duty it shall oo to Insure every business upon the same basts that they are now paying Insurance com panies. Take a note from the party Insured for the amount of the pre mium , exacting from every one insured , regardless of thou financial standIng - Ing , a secured note that would bo collectable la thirty days , and by serving nil nllko no ono would have reason to complain in being required to glvo such security as would make their paper equal to money In case It was needed to p.iy off n loss by lire , .Liiousanas or dollars in good notes could uo secured , and should a llro occur whcro the property was thus insured it would bo paid on the same basis ns adopted by the insur ance companies. Should there bo no flro within tlio limits of those thus Insured in the period of ono your all notes could bo returned to the makers and as a city they would bo ahead thousands of dollars In the course of a year. It Is almost certain thatsomo such plan as outlined will bo adopted by nearly every city and town in the state , and the Insurance companies will receive a les son by which they may uroflt in Iho future.
