The appearance of the sidewalks In the
vicinity of every school building In the city
yesterday afternoon would seem to Justify
the stalemcnt that every pupil , big and
little , carried homo an American flat ; .
Memorial day exercises were held at
every building and seemed to create more
Interest than usual In both pupils and
parents , a fact probably due to the efforts
of the Grand Army to make this feature of
Mcnlorlnl day observance a marked one.
At the High school exercises were held
by every grade In the forenoon , consisting
of essays , orations and music. In the after
noon Hev. S. W. Duller delivered on address
tinder the auspices of the Sophomore Debat
ing society , after which all pupils were
called Inlo the general assembly room lo
listen to a speech by John M. Thurston.
The exercises at the Forest school were
held In the open air under a beautiful linden
tree , the pride of the school.
At 2 o'clock p. m. , with 200 children seated
In close ranks around the old tree , and long
rows of chairs filled with admiring parents
and friends tilling up all the available space ,
the drum and fife began the tale of living
remembrance of Ihe honored dead.
Then Ihe speaker of Ihe day , Lieutenant
J. W. Thompson , was Introduced by the
principal , Miss Gassctle , and spoke well and
feelingly of Ihose brave comrades Bleeping
BO well In their "silent tents" In every city
and hatnlot all over Ihe land. At the close
of his address Lieutenant Thompson wa
presented with a beaullful bunch of pink
roses from Ihe children of Ihe fourth grade.
"God bless them ! " whispered one grizzled
old veteran as the children rose like a nock
of doves for the pretty ceremony called
"Saluting the Flag. " With each lltlle hand
held level with the brows In military salute
and all those clear , young voices speaking In
measured cadence and together , they said :
"Wo pledge our allegiance to the flag , and
the country for which II glands one nation ,
undivided , with llberly and Justice for all. "
Perhaps the most touching and Impress
ive feature of this celebration was the ccre-
jnony which closed It , called "Bringing the
Garlands , " when to the music of the flfo
nnd drum the children marched with sol
emn , downcast faces , two by two , with
beautiful chaplcts of oak" leaves upon Ihclr
arms , and laid them In a fragrant heap upon
a low table under the tree.
Last of all came the teachers , one of Ihem
bearing a sheaf of creamy roses , which she
laid with reverent hands upon the top of
the green mound.
"It Is filling loday , " said Ihe principal ,
Miss Gasselle , "lhat we should thus testify
to our heartfelt and loving remembrance of
another grave , although In a far 'distant ' stale
that of JlrH. Kent , the former principal
of this school.
"All these good friends and neighbors
liticw and loved her , nnd they knew how
largo a place Ihe welfare and happiness of
this school and this community had In lhat
noble and tender heart. As for us , who come
ofter her , every day we have reason to
note the upsprlnglng and growth of that
good seed which she scattered , In. season and
out of season , with unsparing hand , and to
behold the evidence In the young lives un
folding before us of the Influence of one
hlgh-soulcd , living-hearted woman. Forest
cchool was largely the creation of her brain
and heart , and as long as the name endures
so long will bo cherished among us the
iialilo and memory of Mary Kent. "

George F. Miller , a traveling representa
tive of the Katz-Nevens overall factory.
was arrested yesterday as a fugitive from
justice.
The facts In the case are that Miller was
In Sioux Clly on business and ran shorl of
money. Ho drew a draft on the Omaha
house for a remlllance , and went to J. F.
Phelan. a dry goods merchant there , and re
quested him to endorse the draft. Phelan
did BO and it Was forwarded to the Omaha
houRc. The money was obtained by Miller
at Sioux City , but the firm In this clly ,
hearing that Miller was Intoxicated and
had been bo for several days , did not at
once honor It. Phelan became alarmed
concerning the money. In the meantime
Miller came here. Phelan then caused his
arrest.
Miller was risked about the case , and said
the facts slated were true ; that he had
been drunk several days , and that It was
owing to this that his firm did not at once
honor the draft. He said , however , thai
now Ihe amount had been made good by
his firm , and hn believed that while he
would likely have to return to Sioux' City ,
prosecution would not follow.

KEITH COUNTY SUES WILEY
Want * Back , a Bonus Voted to Aid in Build
ing a Oanal ,
BIG DITCH NOT ACCORDING TO CONTRACT
Other Conditions Under * Which tlio Subsidy
AVoa ( Inuitcd , It la Alleged , AVcro Not
rulllllcd Other Distrlcti
Court Matter * .
When Solon L. Wiley , the president of the
Now Omaha Thomson-Houston Hlectrlc Light
company , arose- from hl bed yeitcrday It
was with the full realization" that he was
the defendant to a $35,000 law suit , brought
by the county of Keith for the benefit of
Ogalalla precinct of said county.
The suit was Hied late Monday afternoon
by Judge U. II. Dullle , attorney for the
plaintiff , who In a petition sets out the cause
of action , showing why the court should find
against the electric light magnate and In
favor of the officers of the county and pre
cinct In the western part of the state. He-
citing the fact * , the petition states that on
June 19 , 18S9 , the defendant , Solon L. Wiley ,
filed In the ofllco of the clerk of the county of
Keith a proposition contemplating the callIng -
Ing nf n special election to be held In
Ognlalla precinct , at which election there
should bu submitted to the voters the ques
tion of voting $35,000 In bonds to said Wiley
to assist In the construction of a canal along
the South Platte river from a point near
Illg Springs to the village of Ogalalla , a
distance of thirteen miles , which canal
should be available for water power and for
supplying the village of Og.tlalla with water.
On July 23. 18S9 , the election was held and
the proposition was carried by a largo ma
jority vote. In September or the same year
the petitioner alleges that Wiley associated
himself with some other parties and Incorporated
'
porated 'the Ogalalla Power and Irrigation
company , and a few days later the contract
with the village was executed with the
county commissioners and the village trus
tees.
The conditions of this contract , according
to the terms of the petition , were thai the
. .ditch should be from fourteen to fifteen feet
wide on the bottom and have a capacity for
carrying water to furnish not less than from
300 to 500-horso power , and not less than
300-horse power during the whole of the
year. He was also to construct a reservoir
In the village of Ogalalla and to give a- con
tinual supply of fifty-horse water power , free
of charge , for water works , electric lights
and any purpose for which the village should
elect to put the fifty-horse power. It was
also agreed that the canal should be com
pleted as early as June , 1890.
When tluj contract was made the plaintiff
avers that one of the conditions was that
the bonds which were voted to Wiley should
not be delivered until he had furnished the
county and precinct with an Indemnifying
bond In the sum of $50,000 , to be approved
and filed with the county clerk of Keith
county. In performing the conditions of
the contract and acting for the precinct , the
plaintiff avers that the county commission
ers of Keith county turned over to Wiley
some $33,000 of the bonds , and that the dis
covery is made that the canal Is nothing
like the one which was to have been con
structed. In fact , the plaintiff alleges that
the canal falls to furnish any water what
ever during the greater portion of the year.
The further charge Is made that Wiley has
failed and refused to put up the $50,000 bond
as agreed at the tlrno when he was awarded
the contract.
As a result of all of this failure upon the
part of Wiley to live up to the terms of the
contract , the plaintiff asks that the precinct
bon'da be declared void and that a Judgment
be rendered for the amount of money paid ,
together with the costs and such damages
as may seem to the court to "be just and
proper.

Over IlnrLmch'H VossesHlona is Stirred
Up Once Morn.
'The aged and time worn case of Dorothy
and Louis Schlclds against John A. Horbach
was stirred up again yesterday by the
plaintiffs filing a reply In the ofllce of the
clerk of the district court , and , besides set
ting up new matter , they deny all that Is
alleged In the answer of the defendant.
The origin of this legal fight dates back to
the days when the Indians and buffalo
roamed In the vicinity of the city hall ,
while the law suit Itself Is almost old
enough to vote. The fight is over the right
and title of a tract of three and one-half
acres of ground , not far from the heart of
the city , and to this tract all of the contestIng -
Ing parties lay claim. The defendant main
tains that it came Into' his possession via
the purchase route , while the plaintiffs de
clare that they got It with money earned by
the sweat of the brow.
In the reply filed the wife of Louis
Schlelds alleges that In 1864her husband
purchased the tract from Horbach for the
sum of $1COO , agreeing to pay for the same
In labor. She alleges that ho took a con
tract and that soon thereafter ho 'commenced
work for Horbach , building the house which
now stands at Seventeenth and Douglas
streets , and In which Horbach Besides. The
agreement , she avers , was that , fho wages
for working on this building were to apply
on the purchase prlco of the land , and wore
so applied. After that , the wife alleges ,
her husband worked for Horbach , earning
enough to square up the debt , but there was
trouble 'along In 1873. About this time ,
she alleges that her husband commenced to
tarry around the wine cup nndione day when
ho was loaded to the guards ho was approached
preached by Horbach , who succeeded In get
ting the contract of purchase and giving a
lease for the term of one year In Its stead.
Soon after that Dorothy Schlelds avers that
she and her husband were ejected from the
premises. Louis Schlelds , the husband , files
an aflldavlt , In which ho corroborates all that
his wife has bald.
John Horbach , the defendant , In his
answer makes n general denial and shows
that he purchased the land In good faith
and paid the "market price of the saino at
the time when lie- got possession.

Louis L. Llttlcflcld , president of the
Omaha Milk Dealers' association , was In
the criminal section of the- district court
yesterday , where he was fined $5 and costs
for having fractured the city ordinances ,
In this , that ho sold milk without first
having secured a llcenso authorizing him
so to do. Ho appealed to the supreme
court , the Idea of the members of the as
sociation being to make this a test case.
In going to the higher court , they contend
that the city has up authority to tax the
selling of mllk , ; the grounds being that It Is
class legislation , and also that It Is against
public policyto Impose a tax upon a homo
product.

The trial of the case of the state against
John M. Qrott was commenced In the crim
inal section of the court yesterday , where
the defendant Is charged with having secured -
cured property of the value of $7,443 by
reason of having made false representations.
The prosecuting witnesses , the members of
the South'Omaha Block firm of I'erry Bros
& Co. , allege that during the month of May
1893 , Drett visited their place of business
and told them that ho had a large herd of
steers on his math : In Cherry county and
that ho wns drairbtis of securing a loan
until such tlme'/n ; ! the cattle would bo
ready for the irartket. On the representa
tions which weronmado the money was Ad
vanced and everything wns well until about
the tlmo when ( he obligation became due.
At that time the members of the South
Omaha firm clnlrmthnt they went to Cherry
county , where they learned that llrctt was
not the owner ofJany of the cattle which IIP
had mortgaged. Mn arrest followed and
Urett was tiikenf before a justice of the
peace , where hevwiui bound over to appear
at this term of the district court.
llrctt admits that lie got the money from
the men who nreMiow prosecujjng him , but
declares that ho. got It In good faith and
without any Intention to defraud. Ho de
clares that at the tlmo of making the loan ,
while ho did not own All of the cattle
mortgaged , ho was a partner In the Cherry
county ranch and that all of the stock was
In existence.
Huliy Wheeler' * .Money.
The case growing out of the removal of
Oust Hamcl , administrator of the estate of
Hurt O. Wheeler , deceased , has been ap
pealed from the probate to the district court ,
where It has been docketed for trial at the
next term ,
The suit Is the one wherein J. W. ttllor ,
when he was probate judge , allowed the nd-
inlnlHtrator to loan the funds of thu estate
to his , Eller's , brother. The loan of $1,450
was made to J , M. Idler , a short
time prior to J. W. Eller going out of olllce.
The testimony taken In the lower court
showed that the loan was upon a quarter
section of land In Ktmball county , and
practically unimproved. The land men of
the railway companies , which own vast
tracts of land In that portion of the state ,
fix the value of the quarter section at some
thing like $800.

CROP BEPOB.T SESVICE.
Work Will Probably Ho Done Hereafter nt
the State Unlicrslty.
When asked about the reported transfer
of the crop report service of the weather
bureau from this city to Lincoln , Captain
George E. Hunt , local forecast official , stated
that ho had received no olllcl.il Inlormatlon
to that effect , bat ho wasi.Inclined to be-
llevo that the transfer would be made. It
Is understood'that the tv.'o principal factors
that have Influenced .n the Department of
Agriculture In favoring the change Imvc
been the more central location of Lincoln
and the pull < that has been made to bring
about the transfer. Certain parties have
been working persistently to this end ever
since the service was removed here from
Crete ; in fact , an effort was made at that
time to get It removed to Lincoln , and the
parties Interested have never ceased work
ing In that direction. Now that 1'rof.
Sweezy , who had charge of the station at
Crete , has been removed to the State - university
versity at Lincoln , the crop report service
will proably be placed again-in Ills hands.
The work will undoubtedly ha\e there
greater facilities than here , as It has been
carried oii by Captain Hunt practically at
his own expense , while there will now be a
state appropriation of $1,000 behind it. It
will In no wise affect the local weather sta
tion , except In the way of relieving the

I.llto tliu ( ientlo Dinv from Heaven
Comes blissful peace to a turbulent , unruly
liver brought Into subjugation and disciplined
with that grand regulator , Hosteller's Slom-
ach Bitters , a boon of priceless worth , not
only to the bilious , but also to the malarious ,
the rheumatic , the nervous , the feeble , the
constipated , and those whoso kidneys and
bladder are Inactive. The liver is always
chiefly Involved In malarial complaints , for
which the Bitters Is a specific.
Onmlia Mnn'H .Solution for the Trolley.
Mr. J. D. Peachey of this city , with the
collaboration of Mr. L. W. Hardy of Chicago
cage , has Invented a substitute for the over
head trolley , which ho hopes to see soon
tested by a practical experience on one of
the larger street railways of the country.
The Invention consists of a copper wire or
conductor of the required capacity , placed
in a V shaped Iron trough , and insulated
therefrom by glass or other nonconductlve
material , the trough being firmly held about
four Inches below the surface of the track
and directly underneath the slot In the con
duit. The trough is covered by .a movable
wall or diaphragm of specially made rubber
belting , or other Insulating and water-proof
material , securely damped to the down
ward sloping flanges of the trough , thus
making an ulr and water tlghl chamber
for the conductor. In the center of the
movable wall or diaphragm and directly
over the conductor Is a line of copper rivets
of sufficient capacity to carry the maximum
current required by the motor. These rivets
are placed so as to bo pressed successively
Inlo contact with th conductor by Ihe ten
sion of a trolley arm or traveling de
vice placed undenirath the car. A small
automatic air pump , working continuously ,
forces air through a partially healed cell
and Inlo the trench , which is kept at a
constant pressure tof three or four pounds ,
thus holding the ( diaphragm In proper oval
position , and supplying the best known and
only thorough Insulation for Die syttem.
The trolley arm , carrying an Insulated wire
from the motor , ( reaches through the slot
and presses the wheel or shoo against the
rivets with sufficient force to overcome the
pressure of air and push the diaphragm
toward the conductor until contact Is made
through the rivets. Commercially consid
ered the system mill cost about $4,500 per
mile , and has advantages that promiseto
warrant the change from the present over
head trolley.
