No Cltl/c-ns' Ticket.
The report that there was to be another
ticket put In the field by ' 'anti-monopolists , "
who are claimed to bo dissatisfied with the
platforms of the two leading parties on the
subject of tlio motor company's affairs , is
denied by the gentleman who was mentioned
to The Bee as backing the scheme. There
was talk of such a ticket being put out , ho
admits , but that was before the republicans
had nominated their candidates and when It
was feared that some one would bo put up
whose iccord on the motor question was not
entirely untainted.
"Dr. Cleaver , " said this gentleman yes
terday , "has had nothing to do with the
affairs of the city go\eminent , so that no
charge of favoring the corporations can bo
urged against htm. Ho Is entirely satis
factory to the nickel faro clubs , oven to their

Tn the all-around scramble for nominations
the city ofllclals liavo been neglecting their
duties , but now that It Is decided just who's
v\ho these duties might well receive a llttlo
Attention. Complaints come In almost hourly
because of the tcrilblo condition of the side
walks In many parts of tlio city. Sidewalks
irs loft with n largo ridge of snow nnd Ice
In the middle nnd n snow drift on each side.
Any one who walks on the sidewalk must
take his life In his hand. Yesterday n lady
walking on Broadway near the corner of
Seventh street fell on one of these ridges
and was severely hurt. No cases have as
yet been reported of people sustaining
broken limbs on account of the condition of
the streets , but it la more luck that they
liaui not and luck may not last always. If
comothing Is not done nt once to Improve
tlio Btnto of affairs the city Is likely to bo
plunged Into some expensive litigation.

THIS TIME IT IS A NOTE FOR INSURANCE
Wlllhim Vlclcitry Sue * Dntlit Cotiltlmnl to

There Um No Considera
tion -A Implo Story.
The evil that H.V. . "kiippoll did seems to
live nfter him , for his victims turn up every
little whllu to heap maledictions on his way
of doing buftincsH , while the author of their
i/oo , It Is fiald , is hustling Insurance in the
city of Clovehnd with his old-time vigor
and riding In chaises. The suit of William
Vlcl.ory of this city against David Coult-
hanl , a well knoun and respected farmer
living near Missouri Valley , which is now
on trial Tn the district court , reveals n state
of affairs which gecms likely to lca\o one or
the other of the parties In the bouillon to
the tune of about $150.
About three years ago , according to Coult-
hard's story , Kappcll , who represented n
life Insurance company , Induced hlnf to sign
an application for nn Insurance policy , and
telling him that It would bo necessary for
him to forward a note for $131 with his
application , secured the desired note with
the understanding that It should bo returned
In case his application was rejected. In due
time the application was rejected anJ notice of
the fact was sent Coulthard by both Knp-
pell and tne company Coulthard waited
patiently for a glimpse of the note , and after
qulto a long watt he called upon Kappcll
and asked for It. The agent made some
evasive reply , but assured him he would get
the note back before long.
Several attempts were made by Coulthard
to Induce KnppcII to give the valuable paper
back , but to no avail The first thing Coul
thard new the note turned up In the hinds of
William VIckory , who had bought It of John
Freeso of this city , who In turn had bought
It of Kappcll about the time the maker sup
posed It was hustling off In , Uncle Sam's
care to the Insurance company. Coulthard
refused to pay on the giound that It had
been obtained by Kappell fraudulently and
under false pretenses , while Vlckor > In turn
claimed to have bought It In good faith and
without notice of the fraud on Kappell's
part. The tilal of the case was commenced
before n Jury yesterday afternoon In Judge
Thorncll's court and will probably take up
the greater part of today.

Colonizing Voters.
It la reported that the democrats In the
Second ward nro preparing a grand bally for
votes , and are executing the preliminaries
In a quiet but effective way which will cause
republicans to open wldo tholr eyes on elec
tion day unless something Is done to coun
teract the operations now going on. Barney
Grab ) , the Second ward candidate for alder
man on the democratic ticket , Is a German
and has a largo following among the Ger
man citizens. Unfortunately , however , all
the Germans of the city do not live in the
Second ward , and so Mr. Gruhl's friends are
hustling around to Import as many as pos
sible between now and election day. U Is
only necessary for n man to ll\o In a pre
cinct ten days In order to vote , and between
now and the 21th It Is stated that n large
Importation of Grahl democrats may bo
looked for from other wards which are so
unfortunate as not to bo allowed to vote for
ward aldermen this year. In fact , the col-
onl/atlon schcmo has already been begun ,
and the Trcmont house , Neumayor's hotel
and the Northwestern hotel , all of them run
by Germans nnd democrats , are rapidly fill
ing up with people who are willing , for the
right kind of a consideration , to change
their boarding places until after election.

ro\ertj'B Victims.
Four of the victims of the prevailing hard
Union turned up In police court yesterday
morning to answer to the charge of stealing
fuel. William Mjcrs and Herman and
Henry Ilormclstor are throe tailors living
at Cut-Off. For bomo time past the repre
sentatives of the 12ast Omaha Land company
have noticed that n small frame building ,
which was unoccupied , has been slowly
vanishing , nnd a watch was set to see what
was the reason. The three tailors wcro
making way with the lumber and were
nabbed by the police. In court jestorday
morning they told a pitiful story about
tholr poverty and misfortune , and said that
It was cither steal or freeze , and they pre
ferred to steal. Judge McGce took tholr
case under advisement until today.
George Myers , who was picked up Thurs
day night while stealing coal from n North
western fiat car , also told a tale of woo
when arraigned before the judge , and his
cufao was also taken under advisement. A
warrant Is out for the ar.-ost of his brother-
in-law , Fred Boveo , who la said to bo Im

Smallpox 1'ntliMit * .
The 1-year-old Infant of Mr. and Mrs.
Huffman , who has been III with smallpox for
a couple of weeks past , died Thurbday night
'at midnight. From the first Its chances for
recovery wcro considered very slim , and the
physician gave It up twenty-four hours bc-
furo thu end came. The grave had been dug
beforehand , nnd within twenty mlnut 3 after
death the body wan on Its way to Falrvlew
cemetery.
Mr. and Mm. Huffman , sr. , are Buffering
from the tnont virulent form of the disease ,
and their clmnoos for roeovcrlns are very
slight. No now cases hnvo been developed ,
Pcrduo and Armstrong , who have been
Imprisoned for the last two or three weeks
nt the corner of Broalwny nnd Fourteenth
street on account of having been exposed to
the dlscaso , were rilea ed jcslordny by order
of the city physician. They deny that they
over made nny attcmpto to escape from th6lr
confinement , ns was charged against them
by the people on guard.
Oroutli of the "tight School.
The night school which Is run by some of
the members of the Christian church la
growing rapidly , there being now n total
enrollment of fifty-nine pupils , whoso nges
rnngo from 14 to 33 years. The principal
object of the school Is to furnish those who
nro occupied during the day with n common
business education , and the Instructors ,
many of whom nro teachers In the public
schools , enter Into the work with nil the
enthusiasm which It deserves. The at
tendance has now become so large that an
effort li blng made to secure the U"o of the
Washington avenue school building on Fri
day nights The school board Is to bo
asked for the USD of the building at the next
Monday evening. Superintendent Sawyer Is
said to be anxious for the school boaid to
take the night school off the hands of tlio
present managcmrnt entirely , nnd the
management Is said to be willing that It
should do so. It Is qulto likely that a
proposition of this kind will he made by one
or the other of the partica In the near
future.

Lovers of the drama were given an ex
cellent treat at Bojd's new opera house last
night In the presentation of the "Duel of
Hearts , " a thrilling romance which brought
Into full play tlio talents of the emotional
actress. Miss Malda Cralgcn. And the
audience suffered no disappointment in their
expectations of bcclng a good play well cast.
Miss Cialgen was ably supported by Fred
erick Pauldlng , who Is so well known In
Omaha. This young man has developed into
an actor of more than ordinary merit , and
many officers and their wives , friends of the
young man from Fort Omaha , were present
to applaud his efforts.
As a curtain raiser "One of You Must
Marry , " put the audience In a good humor.
This Is a little fnrco translated from the
German and was well pio-luced.
The "Duel of Hearts" Is a romance which
brings out all the powers of emotion , botli
of Miss Craigcn and Mr. Pauldlng , and is a
sort of a dramatic love story from the be
ginning. Mlss Cralgen took the pait of
Lady Austin Stanhope , and Paulding repie-
sented I3iigeno do Llgny. Both had had
affairs of the heart In which true love was
not n prime factor before their nicotine ; at
the house of a mutual friend. They ex
changed confidences and became interested
In each other , but they were cynical about
love affairs and true love. A challenge of
hearts was made and accepted , but just as
they became in love In earnest with each
other do Llgny thinks ho discovers the di
rect cause of his brother's death by suicide ,
and alter a painful dramatic denoiiment In
the second act ho casts Lady Stanhope ftom
him and seeks relief in tprelgn lands. Lady
Stanhope becomes Insane \iftcr this dreadful
scene and kept icpeatlng H each evening nt
tlio hour In which It oecuired. Her life was
dlspnlred of. Then cnmo tlio happy recon
ciliation , the return of her reason with the
usual happy ending.
Wales Winter ns Sir John Brooke , M. D. ,
and Hollls Alexander as Sir Larry O'Don-
nell , who were friends of both the principal
chaiactcrs , gave Miss Craigen good assist
ance. The remainder of the company waJ
fairly good. Mlbs Cralgen is an actress of
force and ability and .she was charming
as the bewitching young widow , while she
was interesting ns the heartbroken , foi-
saken woman , She Is not yet well known
in the west , but she cnjojs a fine reputation
In the cast , and she is the kind of an actress
who will find friends whet over she goes In
this part of the country. She is young ,
graceful , has n charming manner and seems
to have a true conception of her part , which
she brings out so distinctly that so at once
gains the sympathies of her auditors.
The performance will bo repeated this aft
ernoon and evening.

CHICAGO , Feb. 10 ( Special Telegram to

was arrested some tlmo ago on a charge of
receiving by false pretenses | 1COO. Ho was
held to the criminal court , and has been a
dally visitor to the criminal court building
to learn what the grand Jury had done with
his case. Today Mutheson entered Clerk
Dunn's olllco and .angrily addressing Mr ,
Dunn said
"All you fellows here In Chicago want la
to get a man's money. You want to keep
him waiting aiound until he's broke and then
lire him out. "
"Who are you ? " Inquired the chief clerk ,
who had never seen Matheson before.
Matheson told who ho was and grew very
abusive. .Mr. Dunn called u deputy sheriff
and said : .
"Hero's n gentleman from Iowa who ap
pears to bo aching to get Into the county
jail. Go up stairs nnd see If there Is not n
capias for him. "
The deputy sheriff loft , and In n few
minutes returned with u capias and shortly
afterward Matheson was In jail. This was
' more than ho had bargained for. Ho be-
'camo wild when ho saw thp smallpox cauls.
and wilder still when Dr Fortner approached
him with a vaccine point anil told him to
roll up his sleeve. Ho was vaccinated and

DKS MOINHS , Fctf ItV ( Special to The
Boo. ) The legislativekc6hmlttco / appointed
by the delegates from the leading
cities of the state to sccuro the passage -
sago of a local option law has formally
commenced Its labors nnd Is meeting with
some encouragement. This committee con
sists of J. 11. Powers of Dubmmc , S. W.
MoorchPtd of ICcolcuk , Thomas Hedge , Jr. , of
Burlington , L. P. Allen of Clinton , L.V. .
Hess of Council Bluffs , George U. Itubbcll of
Davenport and A. W. Leo of Ottmnuii. Ad
ditions will probably be made nt an early
day. The delegates from the nbovo named
cities are unanimous In ( heir opposition to
the so-called mulct bill , nnd many of them
prefer to let the present lav/ remain than
to resort to what they think Is a miserable
makeshift. Hon. L. W. Hess of Council
Bluffs , an able lauycr , does not believe the
Harsh bill would stand the test of the courts ,
hut thinks n carefully framed local option
bill wuuld safely pass the scrutiny of the
highest Judicial tilbunal.
Local option and high license Is the mcasI
ure agreed upon by those who favor a rhango
In the present law , and they demand It with
an emphasis that cannot bo mlsundei stood
Hvury one of these delegates decline with
out any sort of hesitation that If the repub
lican majority In the present legislature
falls to redeem the party pledges embodied
In the platform that hore.if.tcruntil this In
cubus Is removed , they will subordinate
every other political consideration to this
one question of getting lid of the Joint
keepers and bootleggers , and putting some
restraint upon the tr.ifllc
The committee Is making a personal r-in-
vas In botli the house and senate and hopes
to get a hill through as a republican meas
ure by the help of the party caucus , but
should this fall it wilt endeavor to effect a
fusion between the democrats and liberal
republicans upon n compromise bill.
Governor Jackson has privately assured
the committee that he hopes for some solu
tion by the legislature , but should It adjoin n
without taking any action whatever ho
will nromntlv call them tocothnr nirnln In
special session.
WILL IlECODIFY THE LAWS.
The bill Introduced by Mr. Trewln to rc-
codlfy the laws was passed In tlio house
today.
The bill provides for the appointment of
'a ' nonpaitlsan commission consisting of five
persons , two of whom shall bo named by
the house , one by the senate and two by
the supreme court. The members must nil
bo learned In the law and have practiced
the same for at least ten consecutive years.
All votes on decisions shall bo omitted ,
and all laws of a local or special nntuic.
The commission shall begin Its work by
September 1 , 1894 , and complete Its labors
by November 1 , 1S93 , and recommend what
further legislation It may deem necessary.
U is the Intent of the bill that the cede
shall be printed by the state by the last
date named above , and two copies furnished
the membeis of tlio next general assembly.
All bills of Importance are being stub
bornly contested In'committee ' "nnd where
there uic three or more bills on the same Mib-
Ject , n majority vote In favor of any Is dlfil-
cult to secure. The committee on joads and
highways Is all torn up again over a new
proposition to make > thc county the unit In
the method of road impiovcmont , and put
ting the work in chnigo of the board of
supervisors. Representative Jay is at work
on a bill combining .thcsp two methods and
thinks ho can effect a compromise In the
near future. Unless n majority of this com
mittee agree on something very soon all
hope of any legislation on this Important
subject will speedily vanish.
The house committee on ways and means
Is still hard at work on the io\cnuo bill
recommended by the commission. Chair
man Mitchell expects to report the me.isuio
to the house In the com so of time , though he
Is somewhat skeptical ns to his ability to se
cure its passage through both branches of
the legislature.
ROUTINE OF THE DAY.
In the senate a bill was Introduced bj Teriy ,
authorizing cities , organized under spccltl
charters to submit questions to the vote of
the people. The discussion on the woman
suffrage amendment was continued , Scnatois
Kllburn , Cheshire and Finn speaking in
favor of the proposition and Senators Ellis

Miss Marie Torapest , whoso many suc

"In ono respect a highly developed

slant study of now roles , undermines the
tlio health and ullon cuts short the ca
reer of Iho conscientious and ambitious
actress. At tlio close of last season I
was completely prostrated by nervous
ptobtr.ition and overwork. My nerves
vveio so unstrung that the slightest
sounds cttartled mu , and I bucamo sleepless -
less , melancholy and in liable. Sick
and dibho.irloncd , I sought Iho homo of
an old and dear friend , who immeuiato-
ly advised mo to use a brain and nerve
food of which I had heard much but
know compiiMlivolj little. [ would
have taken anyllnnir she ohoso to give
me , but I lilfod the tnsto of the prepara
tion and continued its use. 1 had not
consumed ono bottle when I found that
that mv nervous system had resumed its
normal tone. I no longer jumped at
shadows , my appetite cainu b.iok , each
night brought , bound and refreshing
slcon , and I am now in poifoct health
and vigor , through a systematic use of
P.iino's celery compound. The present
Bcasnn has been the most successful , and
therefore the most exacting , of my ca
reer , but the invaluable remedy which
restored my health has also preserved
it I have also recommended it to
numbers of my friends , and in ovary case
with most fortunate icsults. "
The beautiful priina donna looked the
picture of health as she spolto. Her
largo blue eyes sparkled with animation
and her countenance lit up with an ex
pressive smile thatonhanccd the charm
ing vivacity of her manner ab she re
marked :
"I have found that devotion to a chos
en pursuit is not incompatible with good
health. If all the men and women , the
clergymen , teachers , merchants and
lawyers in this busy country , whoso
ovoi taxed brains cry out in protest
against the heavy burdens laid upon
thorn , were to embrace this remedy , I
am sure there would bo a marked do-
ciease in that terrible disease , nervous
prostration , which seems fast becoming
a national ono with you Americans.
Success is , indeed , a glorious tiling , but
b3liovo mo , health is bettor. " "
