HAY ADVISED TO SUE FOR HIS SALARY I'npcrSorvcil on Dr. Abbott I'rntei to He a Jtovlml nf the Injunction Suit l > rui | > ( l 601110 Tiino < BiMiitron nt Ilnntlng * HmlRiin- LINCOLN , April 27. ( Special. ) The ap pointment today by Governor Holcomb of 131- moro C. Ilcwlck to be steward of the Lincoln Insane asylum Is the sensation of the hour. The appointment fell like a bombshell Into tha camp of Superintendent Hay and his followers. The latter are quite numerous In Lincoln , and his friends ere bitter In their denunciation of Governor Holcomb In nam ing Ilewlck. Some of them go so far as to gar that the same executive who has power to appoint a superintendent has no authority to remove him , but that such power Is vested entirely In the Hoard ot Public Lands and Uulldlngs. MAY SUB FOR HIS SALARY. Around the capital today It was rumored that Dr. Hay's attorney hai advised him to mandamus Auditor Eugene Moore to cam- pel him to pay the full first quarter's salary to him , amounting to $023. Or. Abbott's appointment as superintendent of the asylum took effect March 10. The amount duo Dr. Hay up to that date was $ I79.1G. This amount Auditor Moore offered to pay Dr. Hay , but the latter refused to accept It Auditor Moore says that It would bo satis factory to him If Dr. Hay acted on his at torney's advlcs nnd brought the matter Into court. This would result In nn Imme diate decision and n complete review of the merits of the contested case between Drs. Abbott and Hay. Tha new steward , whoso appointment takes effect May 1 , H a well known attorney In Lincoln , who has offices In the First Na tional bank building. Ho Is an old resident of this city , was formerly a republican , but has recently alllltated with the populists. At present he Is chairman of the Independ ent city central committee. IlEWIGK'S I'AST UECOHD. It was Ilewlck who gathered the evidence and prepared the charges against Steward Lauer , Farm Doss Uubbnrd , and upon which several asylum contractors were tn- dtctoj for frauds connected with furnishing supplies to tlio asylum , but who wera ac quitted In the district court. These same charges loJ the legislature of two years ago ta order the Impeachment of Secretary of fUato Allen , Attorney General Hastings and Jxind Commissioner Humphrey , charged with negligence In the administration of asylum affairs. It Is more than probable that the fighting quail ties ot Mr. Howlck were favorably considered In bis appointment as no-sdftil just now during the strained rela tions existing between the present Incum bent of the supcrlntemlcncy end the now appointee. Dr. Abbott. To make all pur chases , keep the accounts , engage and pay employes and have a general superintend ence of the grounds are a major portion ot the duties ot a steward. The salary la $1,200. Ho1 filed his bond today , which was ap proved , H was signed by C. T. Ilalch , O. W. Webster and C. W. Dournan. INJUNCTION SUIT REVIVED. It develops that the queer summons served last night on Dr. Abbott Is part of the docu ments In a revival ot the Injunction case In the district court begun last March. The order of Injunction enjoins Dr. Abbott from assorting himself to be superintendent of the asylum other than by a suit of law , or by force or stealth Becking to obtain control of the asylum or Interfering with Hay In thu discharge of his duties. He Is also enjoined from attempting to enter the asylum himself or authorizing any erne eUe. or advising , counseling or aiding other persons to enter said building for himself. HARPHAM GOES TO MEXICO. Governor Holcomb has appointed J. C. Ifarplmni of Lincoln as ono of the Nebraska commissioners to the Mexican exposition next April. Mr. Harpham supplies the place on the delegation In which I'rof. Jones of the Manufcturcrs and Consumers association declined to serve. The resignation of Mrs. C. A.

Ho says that surveying will bo commenced the middle of next week on the Kansas line In Gage county , and running north. This railroad enterprise Is In the nature of a co-operatlvo plan. There are similar associations to the ono recently or ganized In Nebraska , In Minnesota , Iowa , South Dakota , Kansas. Indian Territory and Texas. The terminal points are Duluth , Minn. , and Bolivar , Tex. , near Oalveston , and on the coast. The company , that Is , the Nebraska section of It , has been Incorporated for some time and , a certified copy ot the articles has Just been secured of the secre tary of state. It transpires that Governor Holcomb holJs the balance of power rn the new Irrigation board , owing to the failure of the other two members. Attorney General Churchill and Land Commissioner Russell , to agree upon a man for secretary. The deadlock has oxlated ndw for nearly a week , with no prospect of , an agreement unless the governor should conclude to endorse the candidate of either Attorney General Churchill or Land Com- inl" > loncr Russell. The light Is likely to bo u long one. Governor Holcomb has offered a reward of $200 for the > apprehension of the murderer or murderers ot Mrs. Carmen Holton. found dead In a shanty up In Koya I'aba county. Oilil follow * l clrlinttr.

Stubbs , third vice president of the Southern Pacific , Is very much Inclined to the opinion that certain Iowa roads are directly responsible for the demoralized con dition of rates at present existing In San Francisco. And he makes no bones about entering a protest against practices , which , he says. If continued , will cause no end of demoralization on the Pacific coast. It Is a fact that San Francisco Is one of the hotbeds of demoralization when It cornea to the question of rates , on railroads. So many lines are Interested In securing the business , and commissions are paid that run up Into the hundreds of thousands every year. This In Itself Is a demoralizing factor , as railroad men only too well know. As a re sult , conditions obtain In San Francisco dif ferent , from any other point In the country , unless It (3 ( In New York. mnnlcatlon to Iowa lines , which was received yesterday , that ho holds them directly responsible for the present demoralized con dition , nnd that unless some decided action Is taken very soon to check thu shady prac tices he will rip the present existing rates up the back. Mr. Francis of the Burlington yester day stated that in reply to Mr. Stubbs' communication lie had Indicated to the third vice-president of the Southern Pa cific a desire on the part of the Durllngton to do everything that would tend to conserve the existing situation and that his company would Join a local San Francisco association If such would bring about a different order of things. He stated that ho had positive knowledge o the manipulation of rates on the part of certain lines , but refused to dl- vulgo the names of the lines caught red- handed in knifing existing tariffs. "Our con servatism. " said Mr. Francis , "has lost us considerable business and I have suggested to Mr. Stubbs that a Iccal association might euro existing evils even though there Is no transcontinental association. " The absence of Mr. Lomax , general pas senger agent of the Union Pacific from the city made It Impossible to Interview that gentleman on the situation , but the policy Mr. Lomax Is so well known that It seems safe to say ho would gladly co-operate with the Southern Pacific and other lines In their endeavor to conserve revenues The Union ' ' Pacific has pursued ) a most conserva tive course as to jho transcontinental situ ation and 1C a local association can be formed San Francisco It Is safe to predict that the Union Pacific will bo the first to sign Its name to the agreement If it sees any reason able ground for presuming that the agree ment will bo rigidly observed after Its for mation.

The Midland receiver ship Is revived , and now It Is confidently predicted that a separate receiver will be ap pointed by Judge Caldwell on Monday or Tuesday next. Three months ago George W.y Wrlstlno was named as likely to receive the appointment. So far as can be > learned , no other name has been mentioned. When ap plication was made by the Midland a fsw weeks ago ( or a separate receivership be fore Judge Caldwell In St. Louis , he Issued no order , but suggested that the matter be $ allowed to rest for a time , thinking the re organization committee of the Santa Fe might submit a plan that would bo accept able to the Midland and It not the application at would be considered. So far as can be learned , the Atchlson proportion Is not ac Is ceptable to the Midland bondholders , and the application will be renewed on Monday be fore Judge Caldwell. It Is not thought that , the withdrawal ot the Midland will make any material difference with the Santa Fo reorganization. Some time ago It was stated that the Santa Fe did not care so much for the Midland , but desired to extend action on the application for the separate receivership of until the committee could report , as a. stam pede of other divisions of the system might follow. It seemed to be generally under stood that ths Union Trust company would be willing for separation after the announce ment of the reorganization committee. With RIstlne In charge of the Midland. It likely that a through t radio arrangement can be made for an Independent through line ot from Chicago to Ogden. via the Hock Island , Ogden Short line separate receivership Is brought about , then the system will be ex tended Into the northwest , and the Rock Island will come Into direct competition with Uurllngton and Northern Pacific.

Jonathan Bell came to Blackheath from Bradford fifteen months ago. His pastorate embraced the . . three hamlets of Ulackheath , Rowley and Halsowen. IJinma Hall , the young woman for whoso death Mr. BM1 Is said to be responsible , was a daughter of John Hall , a day laborer employed ployc In the chemical works at Oldbury. Miss Hall was engaged to nurse the wife of Ror. Mr. Bell and when the latter recovered she visited her mother , Emma remaining with the f . En went to Le s October 27 last and wrote from there on December 27 to a cousin , Joseph Hall , living at Sparkbrook , as follows : I um now sitting nt a very hnrd tnsk , one that breaks my heart , to write you a sad cointnunlcutloti to deliver to my rather and mother. 1 hnve sinned nnd C3o < I knows but one day i , nny one hour before It wns done , I COllll not hnve believed I should have given way 1 held out until every bit of strength seemetl gone. Ever since I have IM > BH here I have buoyed myself nml my IMi-ents up with thoughts of soon coming J" me , but I find It IB not so. First of all , I left [ ( home pregnant. I know this Hounds awful , but It Is sadly true , tuul when I left tn come here It was with the notion to soon bo rid of my trouble. 1 drew my first month's salary nnd spent It In stuff to put mo right ; but It failed , nml the chemist llnnlly wrote me that lie Imil done the ut most the law would allow. Cmrna Hall's purents received a. letter from her on January 1C and heard nothing else from her until the news of her death. The Hall family Is In very poor circum stances. The members live In a email , neat , whitewashed cottage at Blackheath. The mother is an honest , industrious woman , but she is unabl : to read or write. She says that Bmma was a good girl , was educated and was always her favorite. The girl also liked her home. Mrs. Hall Is completely crushed at the news received from Detroit. WIFE FEARS HE SUICIDED. Rev. Mr. Bell lived at Primrose villa , Blackheath. His wife Is a plain , hard-work ing woman with a small child. She said to day : "I don't know where my husband Is , Ho loft here on Tuesday after seeing the pa pers. I fear he has committed suicide , as he had no friends In England to whom he- could fly , " Mrs. Bell also said that she did not know what money her husband had with him. She admitted ho had confessed his guilt to her on Monday and on Tuesday she found In his desk a letter addressed to him at Boston , Mass. , nnd coming from Emma Hall , who wrote from Leeds. Miss Hall , in this letter , said : Dear Friend : If you arc still In Boston you will have mine of the 2tth , tolling what I have done. Had I been well there would have ben no need of It ; but the doctor , who told me what was the matter In a minute , vowed he would write to my par ents If I did not. When I wrote my mother , through my cousin , Joe , your name never crossed my lips and never shall. I know I have thrown them oft the scent from you entirely. I do not think now that anybody will think of you In connection with me unless It Is your wife ; but I hops not. I feel sure you , until now. have done the best for me ; but if you think I have forfeited every rlprht to your help ami sympathy I nm sorry. You will never need to He or tight a battle If my condition ever becomes known. You will never be betrayed by me. The part I played with you was pleasant , but It left a. blterness beyond endurance. We were both weak. I cannot look back without , a shudder , but I know the Ijord hn- forgiven me. Do exactly what you like : but come back and ilo good with your work with fresh help from on high. I will do my best to get well and be brave. Yours ever , EMMA. MISS HALL'S CONDITION IN AMERICA. Mrs. Bell also found In her husband's desk letter from Mrs. Lane , who kept the laylng- In hospital In which Emma Hall died. It Is dated , "Detroit , April 15 , 1895 ; No. CG Lin coln avenue , " and Is addressed to Rev. Jona than Bell , Blackheath , and read : "Dear Sir : I received a letter from Eng land from some one who seems curious to know Miss Hall's business , Now , this . young woman whom you sent only re mained Ions enouBh to pet her money. She seemed displeased with the place or with us. I cannot compel any one to stay against their will ; the only thing wan to let her KO. She had a New York paper In which -were advertisements of several hos pitals. She cut those out. saylnp that If she did not mid them to her liking she would return to ? ome place she was pre vious to comlnR here. She promised me on leaving that she would wire you at some point on her Journey. Did she do so ? She told me she had been forbidden to write letters on account of her family and posi tion. She also told mo to be careful. For that reason I left It to her to wire you In stead of doing1 so myself. She left here on the 6th or 7th of February. I saw her take the train on the Michigan Central , via Niagara Falls. Although she promised to write me wherever she stopped she has not done so. Probably Bhe iloes not care to write. I do not see why she < lld not care remain here. I wish to screen you both far as I can , and Miss Hull may be on her guard and know who htispects her. You may know these people and know If they are watching her or not. I am sure she does not want the people of her own town know of her troubles. Kindly answer at once and tell me If she arrived home or If she wrote you after leaving me. I have a letter nnd a letter card for her which ar rived after she left. Don't blame me for her not remaining. I tried my best to please her , but she > was odd and had a mlna and strong -will of her own. She was home- Blck and seemed to tlilnk that If she went New York she would not hnvo so far to travel for her boat when she was strong , She was very bitter against you and at times said she would go straight back and present you with the Infant. She seemed to have a temper of her own when she got those moods , but I liked her an she had some good redeeming qualities. Now I have written nil concerning the matter. Kindly answer. Mrs. Bell told a representative of the Asso ciated press toiay that her husband burned many leters on Monday cevnlng. the two Just cabled being overlooked. It Is presumed that letter from Detroit must have been writ after Miss Hall's death , Mr. J. N. Parson , a merchant of Black- heath and a member of the flock of Rev. Jonathan Bell , says that the latter was seen 10:30 : on Tuesday going by back lanes toward Causeway Green , which Is a back road to Birmingham. Mr. Parsons adds that Bell was a sociable , pleasant and Intelligent man ot 38 years of age , of Blender build , wearing a long , dark beard and was of de cidedly Jealous temperament. Mr. Parsons form no theory as to where Bell has gone knows very llttlo of the missing pas- tor'a antecedents. The police Inspector of Halesowen says that the Hall family has not asked for the arrest of Bell and that no warrant has been Issued. He added : "I am awaiting some requisition from America , but If Mr. Bell were to pass me on the street at the pres moment I could not arrest him. I think from wlmt I hear that he may have com mitted suicide. " Various members of th church of Rev. . Bell think he went to America to make arrangements with the keeper of the Detroit hospital for the reception of Miss Hall. It could not be learned from Mrs. Bell or from friends ot the family what means Bell to escape with. The feeling against Bell Is Increasing. At meeting of officers at the church this even- a resolution of sympathy with Mrs. Bell passed and It was decided to allow her tu remain In the church house until the end of ministerial year In Jnly and also to pro- for her children.

When You Purify Your Blood , You should , of course , take The Only One Prominently in the Public Eye Today is Because it lias first , last nnd nil tlio tiino Lc ii known nnd advertised as especially prepared and peculiarly adapted to purify , vitalize uiid enrich the blood. It , is no idle boast , but an honest claim , yes , it IB a statement of abso lute fact that Hood's Sarsaparilln is the Cost Blood Purifier ever produced. Its record of won derful cures proves this as conclu sively as any direct evidence in a court of justice ever proved anything. Hood's Sarsaparilla has won the confidence of .the people because the claims in its advertising have been verified by their own experience. Therefore , if yon need n good spring medicine to purify yonrblood , do not bo deceived. You cannot purify your blood by talcing a prepa ration which merely quiets or deadens your nerves , or causes artificial sleep ] Jo guided by your own common sense and take tlio standard blood purifier , Hood's Siirsapurilla. This medicine builds tip the nerves by feeding them on pure blood , cre ates nn appetite by toning and strengthening the digestive organs , overcomes That Tired Feeling by giv ing the blood tbo vitality necessary to sustain the entire physical system , nnd gives s\vect , refreshing Bleep by sustaining the proper balancobetween all the bodily organs. It Such testimonials as tlio following , from reliable people , must be accepted as proof of the great blood purifying powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla : "I gladly fitato wlmt Hood's Bnr&apa- rilla did for our boy. Biz yenra ago ha fell down the cellar stairs. In two or tbreo weeks ho began to have jialuB In bin right knco so bnilly that wo called a doctor. Ha said the troubls waa rheu matism , but did him no good , BO wa called other physicians , including a Bos ton specialist , and all failed. Soon oar boy was so lame that he could not walk. As his leg began to cramp up bealde.'i paining him severely In hlaiknco , wo took the boy to Now York , whore ho was examined by two physicians , who Said Ho Had Hip Dlsoaao. Wo had a brace made to keep the leg from cramping , and upon the doctor's advlco wo again toolc him to Boston , thla tiino to the Children's Hospital. IIu was there three months , during which time they made an operation on his leg and did all they could for him , but they did not eflccta cure. When wo brought him homo ho bad running aorci on hla leg. Ho could not put hla foot on the ground. At last we were advised to glvo Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial. The boy seemed to gain after the first bottla and today he can walk , run nnd play as lively aa any boy , the sores have all healed up and hots The Picture of Health. He goes to school dally without tbo aid of crutches. I hope Hood'a Sarsaparllla may bo ot s much benefit to others. " Joint C.I3oTJ.B,45Wat r8t. , V/are , Moss. And Is The Best Spring Medicine.
