1'rltchett read to the Jury n tedious docu
ment purporting to bo the cla'm of the state
for th ? sum sunk In the Capital National
bank. This I * the claim presented by Treas
urer naril y to Receiver Ilnyden and by the
latter forwarded to Washington.
"Did you have a conversation with Mr.
Drake at the Merchants bank In Omaha ? "
was Mr. Whcedon's first query to tha wit-
nexs ,
"I dlil , " was the answer.
"What wa * said In that conversation ? "
"Well , Mr. Drake agreed to sign my bond
If I could procure the other necessary sig
natures. Ho alto said he could find me
two othei signers. "
"What was said In thla conversation In
relation to your own slgnatur ? to the bond ? "
"It was fully understood and agreed be
tween us thu I should sign after I had pro
cured all of tha signatures necessary , nnd
further that I was not to deliver the bond
until I had rlgned It. "
"Did you have any conversation with any
other business men of Omaha In regard to
becoming sureties ? "
"I think I had seme talk with Mr. Millard -
lard also. "
"Well , did you talk with any other of
the sureties on the bond ? "
"Yes. with Mr. McClay. "
"What was said there ? "
"Substantially what was talked ovr with
Mr. Drake , that I would 'not the sureties to
sign , and would not deliver tha bond until
I myself signed It. "
"Did you sign this bond , Mr. Hill ? " said
Mr. Wheedon. In a carefully careless tone ,
calculated to assure the Jury that 'this was
a very unimportant query. Judge Wakeley
objected and was sustained upon the ground
that the unsigned bond speaks for Itself.
RECOUNTS AN HISTOIUC BPISOUK.
"Did you ever deliver this bond , Mr. Hill ? "
Objected to by Judge Wakeloy , and the court
ruled that the facts may bo shown , as the
subject mutter la a conclusion of law.
"Just state the facia , then , " said Mr.
AVheedon.
Mr. Hill detailed the circumstances sur
rounding the refusal of the legislature to
canvass the vote electing the state olllcrs
and gave a realistic picture of the exciting
scene In and around the state house on this
day.
day."My
"My ofllce , " said he , "was filled with state
officers nnd others , among them Lieutenant
Governor Majors and Tom Donton. There
was" a great deal of excitement over the ex
isting state of affairs , and I shared In It. "
"Why did you not sign this bond ? " asked
Mr , Wheedon openly.
"I can't say why I didn't. "
This query was objected to by Mr. Lam-
berUon on the ground that Hill had already
answered It by saying he didn't know why
he had failed to sign , but witness was told
to make any additional explanation he might
have In mind , with tha foregoing result.
"Wlijit did you do with the bond ? "
"I took It to Governor Hoyd and afterward
to Governor Thayer. "
"Did you see It again ? "
"No. "
"You didn't take It to the secretary of
state's offlce ? "
"No. "
"You may Inquire , " said Wheedon , blandly.
Mr. Lambcrtson opened the cross lire by
asking witness If he had not frequently
signed his name as trcasuror between Jan
uary 8 , 1S91 , and January 14 , 1S03.
"I did , " responded Hill.
"Did you got this blank ' for the purpose of
making out your hon'd as treasurer of the
state of Nebraska ? "
"Yes , I got It for that purpose , " repllei
Mr. Hill , after several Ineffectual attempts
to fence with the question. '
"And you wrote your natno hero In the
body of It , John K. Hill , for the purpose of
making this'your official bond ? "
"Yea , that was one of the stops. "
"And these other name. ? In the body o
the bond wore written In at your request am
by your knowledge , were they not ? "
"Well , I don't know that It was at my re
quest , " said witness , somewhat lamely.
"Did you Intend to bind yourself when yoi
wrote In these words with your own hamls
to the payment of these $2,000,000 ? "
"Yos , I expected to sign It , provldoJ the
sureties nil qualified for the amount. ) men
tloned In the bond. "
"And they did qualify , didn't they ? "
"Yes , so far an I know they all qualified. "
"So your failure to sign the bond did no
rest on that sound at all ? "
"Na"
"So you Intended to bind yourself fo
$2,000,000 to the state If the others signed
and they did sign and qualify ? " Objected teas
as answered , end sustained.
'Tor what purpose did you wrlto you
name In this blank ? " askeJ Mr. Lambertson
pointing to the handwriting of Hill upon the
face of the bond.
THROUGH A SMALL HOLM.
"To fill the blank. " said the witness uncer
talnly. Mr. Wheedon looked approvingly a
Ills badgered client as he cot out of till
trap so cleverly.
"And you presented It to these sureties tc
sign , with the purpose of binding them In
the sum of $2,000,000 , didn't you ? "
"Yes , I suppose that was It , "
"And It wns returned to you properly
Klftned by all of them , was It not ? " continued
the remorseless volco of the big counsel fo
the state.
"Yos , "
"Who was on this bond from the Capita
National batik ? "
Objected to by Mr. Wheedon and overruled
Mr , Lambcrtson consented to change tli
form of his question.
"Was anything said by Mr. Mosher as t
who , outside of the ofllcors of his bank
ihould go on > ho bond at his request ? "
"No , I think not. "
"You had a largo sum of money In th
Capital National bank , did you not ? "
"Yos. I had ? "
"Was anything saU between you an
Mosher In regard to allowing that money t
remain there. In consideration of his goln
on this bond ? "
"No , we had no such agreement. "
"Did you not at a subsequent convorsatlo
with Mosher have such an understanding ?
Objected to and sustained.
"Now , you had some talk with Mr. Drak
at Omaha. Was there any talk as to who h
ihoulil nee for you ? "
"No. Ho was not an agent of mine ,
also had tome talk wltli Mr , llarlow. "
"Did either you or llarlow have any tal
with any of the signers from the Merchant
binl ; except Mr. Cow leu ? "
"No. "
"So you only remember talking with Drak
and Darlow , one cashier. of tha Merchant
bank , the other with the United State
bank ! "
"Yes. "
"Why did you talk especially and ex
Cluslvfly with bankers ? "
"Ilcoausa a state treasurer can't give
bond unless ho gets It from th ? banks. " .
"Why Is this ? " Objected to and BUS
talned.

How long before this bond was returned

Jarlow and Cowles In Omaha ? "
"I had the bond back four or five days
efore the conversation , I think. "

"I can toll by looking at the bond. " said

"How long before McClay signed did you
ake the oath of office ? "
I tcok the oath twlco In cue day , " said
lie witness grimly , "once before a Justice of

"So you took the oath of office twlca. Who
ilmlnl'leroil the oath ? "
"Chief Justice Cobb and George Uower-
nan. "
"Did you take the oath before this was
resented to Governor Thayer ? "
"I can't remember. "
"Had you taken It before going before
lowerman ? "
"No. "
"You say that you do not know who pro-
iented the bond to Governor Hoyd for ap-
irovol , and that you supposed ho had ap
proved It ? "
"Yes , "
"Your bond had somehow got lost In the
liulllo , and you naturally supposed the gov
ernor had approved It , did not you ? "
"I think I have been pretty frank al-
eidy , " replied the witness , with some acer-
ilty.
ilty.You
You had taken your oath of offlco on this

"YC3. "
"And you wouldn't have entered upon the

his bond , would you , captain ? "
"No , I wouldn't , "
"You didn't make any effort to chase up
r-our bond when you found It had got lost
n the shtini" ? "
"No , I didn't. "
"Why not ? "
"Well , I don't know , only that the con-
est was taking up my attention then. "
"Well , you believed It was In the office of
the secretary of state , didn't you ? "
"The natural supposition was that It was
here. "
"Did you testify before the legislature
about the loss of this $236,000 ? "
"Yes. "
"Did you say anything to that committee
about your bond ? "
"I can't sny. "
"Was not this question asked you there :
Were any cf the Omaha bankers on your
> end as sureties ? ' and didn't you answer :
Two of the stockholders of the Merchants
; > ank were , I think , on It. They were
friends of the bank at least ? ' "
Mr. Wheedon hero entered a vigorous ob-
lectlon In anything but classical language
mil objected to Mr. Lamberlson's being ul
lowed to read from his spelling bonk any
longer. He was sustained. .
"What did ycu do with the bond after
ycu took the oath of cfflce did you take"ft to

"I have no memory as to what I did with
It. "
"Did you Intentionally lose this band , cap

"No , I did not. "
"When did you first learn , captain , that
your name was not on this bond ? "
"I learned It first through Judge Wakeley
In the- attorney general's ofllco. "
"Yon supposed up to this time that your
name was on this bond ? "
"No , I knew nothing to the contrary , "
"When was that ? "
"Well , I lieard It during the winter of
1803 , when you were wcrking on this cas °
and trying to get an appropriation through , "
said the witness aggressively , and the entire
audience Joined In the laugh at Mr. Lambert-
son.
son."Well
"Well , let's have the month , " said Lam
bertson. Objected to by AVhccdon.
"I thought mother Wheedon was entitled
to take the prize for getting behind the rul
ing of the court. " said Justice Post , mirth
fully , "but I think he will have to yield It to
our friend Lambertson. "
"I yield the ribbon , " said Mr. Wheedon ,
falling In laughingly with the conceit.
HOW THOMPSON SIGNED.
D. E. Thompson was then called to the
witness stand , and Captain Hill wag released
from the rack. ,
"Did you elgn this bond ? " asked Mr.
Wheedon.
"Yes. "
"What were the attendant circumstances ? "
"Mr. Mosher came to my office and a. ked
me to sign. I agreed to sign upon condition
that the bond should not bo delivered until
slgnej by Hill. "
" 1)11 you ever see the papers afterward ? "
"No. '
"Whore was your signature on the bond ? "
"Next to Masher's and the second name on
the bond. "
"Cross-examine , " said Whecdon.
"This Is your name , written here when
you Justified , Isn't It ? " began Judge Wakoley.
"It Is my name , but not written there
when I Justified , for the reason that I never
Justified , " said Mr. Thompson calmly.
"What , you never Justified ? " exclaimed
Jiulgo Wakeloy.
"No , 1 never did. "
"Well , this man here says you did , " re
ferring to the Instrument. '
"He lies then. I never Justified. I signed
at ono tlmo and was to Justify at another
time , when I wont to the bank ( meaning
the Capital National ) , but I never Justified as
a surety on that bond. "
"Well , there seems to be a chance to In
dict somebody for perjury , " said Judge Wake-
ley. Then , passing on : "Why did Mosher
want to get you to sign ? "
"I dent know. "
"Why didn't you go and get Hill to sign
this bond ? " Objected to and sustained.
Judge Wakeley arose and said ho put the
question to fthow that Thompson did not
really sign on the conditions he has testified
to , and to discredit his testimony In this re
gard. Still the court sustalneJ the objection.
"Now , Mr. Thompson , you say you signed
It on condition that Mr. Hill's name be at
tached ? "
"Yos , that wns about It. "
"Why did you consider It Important that
Hill's name bo subscribed ? " Objected to on
grounds of Immateriality and Incompetency.
Mr. Whoedon argued the point heatedly , and
at the conclusion the court overruled
Wheedon's objection , whllo Judge Wakeley
said cuttingly : "Hereafter , when It Is nec-
nssary for me to speak In support of my
questions , I shall allow Mr. Whoedon to
speak for mo ! "
WHY HE WANTED HILL ON.
"You know that all these sureties on this
bond would be liable with you , If you should
have to pay damagm on this bond ? "
"Yes , 1 knew all the sureties would be
liable. "
"You knew that nearly all of them were
wealthy men , didn't you ? "
" 1 supposed they were all well-to-do and
mostly "representatives of various banks. "
"Why dl4 you want Hill's name on this
bond ? "
"I didn't propose to have my name second
on the list without having the bond properly
completed. "
"You were anxious then , far tha slate to
have a good bond ? " Objected to and us-
talned.
"You took Moiher's word for It that Hill
had sinned thU bond ? "
"Yes , I took It IIP was representing Hill. "
"You never asked Hill whether hu had
slgneJ It ? "
"I don't recollect th.it I ever did. "
"Now. you never asked the secretary of
state wlicthT or col It had been signed ? "
Objected to. Overruled.
"I don't remember that I over .lid. "
At this point N. 3. HurwQod took the
stand ,
"I Minted this bond at the request of Cap
tain Hill , " > ald the witness. "Mr. Hoggs , and
myself had had some conversation previous
to Hill's coming , and had decided not to
sign It. Then Hill csino lit and we looked
the list of names ovrr. I said to Hill that
th Hit was fhort of the * names on the old
bond , end ho replied that ho expected to fill
In the Hit completely. My Impreiilon It
that 1 requested him to nlgn It then and
there , but he tuld ho would fill In the full
amount qf the bond and K t on all the sure-
Iks before ho signed. "
"What did you Oo with the bond after
you hal signed It ? "
"I handed It back to Mr. Hill "
"Mr. Harwood , did you ever deliver < nl
bond to the governor , secretary of state or
to any other Individual than Mr. Hill , or
did you aulliorjzp any ono to so deliver It
for you ? " Objected to by Judge Wakeley
and overrule. ] .
"I did not. "
"Crass-examIno , " said Mr. WheeJon , cheer
fully.
"Were all these names above yours In
this bond , there when you signed It , " began
Judge Wukeley.
"Yos. "
"Now upon what ground did Mr. Hill np-
ptoach you to gain your signature ? "
"Well , the law requires htm to give a
bond , " Is the cautious response.
"There wns a deposit In your bank from
the office at that lime , was there not ? "
Objected to and sustained.
Witness then went Into the details of the
conversation held with Hill at the time the
bond wns signed.
"What was the conversation , Mr. Harwood ,
In relation to the deposits in your bank ? "
"Well , there had been at tlmea nn over-
ilraft. I objected to collecting a large num
ber of Items , checks , drafts , etc. , for at
one time wo lost $3G00 through a failure of
one of the banks on which we held their
check for collection. "
"You relied on Hill to sign this bond , did
you , and had nobody else's promise ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"That's all , " said Judge Wakeley , and court
adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow morning ,
as Mr. Harwood stepped down with a sigh of
relief.
FIGHT NOT YET ENDED.
Further llrloM Are to 'Ho Tiled In the
\ VntorVork < mn.
The case of the Farmers Loan and Trust
company agaltut the American Water Works
company of New Jersey , which has been so
bitterly fought In federal court before
Judges Dundy and Hlncr this week , Is the
most prominent case on the docket , and Its
outcome is being watched with Interest. It
is a fight for possession of the Omaha water
works plant.
The American Water Works company of
Illinois , moro commonly known as the Ven-
ner faction , has Jumped Into the ring and
sprung a series of surprises. C. H. Vernier
of Iloston has been on the ground for sev
eral days. John L. Websler made the' argu
ment for the Illinois company before Judges
Dundy and Rlnor yesterday , while Messrs.
McClure of New York and Wool worth an 1
Hall of Omaha upheld the tru t company's
Interests. Yesterday the Illinois company de
cided to file additional briefs In the case
within ten days and make a defense on the
following lines :
"Tho water works company Incorporate !
under the laws of Illinois could not make n
mortgage upon the water works plant In
Nebraska unless the same was In harmony
with policy of Nebraska , and not In excess of
the power that might have been exorcised by
It If Incorporated under the laws of Ne
braska ; the Farmers Loan and Trust com
pany has no standing In a court of equity to
foreclose the mortgage , for the reason that
the mortgagor company wns a corporation
of the state of Illinois , the mortgage was
executed In the state of Illinois , the Karmers
Loan and Tru t company accepted the trust
under the mortgage , and the Farmers Loan
and Trust company had not complied with
the laws of the state of Illinois , so as to
authorize It to accept such a trust. "
A somewhat sensational feature of the
defense' Is the charge that this foreclosure Is
being prosecuted at the Instance of a reor
ganization committee , to which the trust
company Is a party , for the purpose of freez
ing out certain stockholders and creditors.
The Vernier factloji will insist that the
American Water Work ? company , being a
quosl-publlc corporation , or corporation
formed for a work of public Improvement ,
was without authority to make a mortgage
for the reason that no such authority Is con
ferred upon such corporation by the laws of
Nebraska ; the contract with the city of
Omaha l.s not subject to mortgage without
special legislative authority or consent of
state and city ; If the water company Is
granted the right to mortgage Its plant for
the purpose of securing borrowed money , still
the right of foreclosure and sale of the plant
does not exist. The remedy of the bondholders
In such a case would extend no further than
the sequestering of the earning ; ? of the com
pany ; the right of sale under foreclosure pro
ceedings no more exists In this case than It
would If the bonds were Issued by a city or
county.
They claim that the water company was
without authority to dispose of its property
so a , ? to disable It from performing Its public
duty to the city. Public policy forbids nnd
condemns alienation or sale of such prop
erty , whether under cither execution or judi
cial process ; to encumber the property by n
mortgage and to permit the same to be sold
under foreclosure would deprive- the wcter
company of ability to perform Its obliga
tions to the city , and therefore the sale of
the property under the mortgage would be
an unwarranted proceeding.
It is further claimed that the franchise
granted by the city of Omaha to collect anil
receive water rents Is not subject to sale , and
will not , pras to the purchaser at foreclosure
sale ; that public policy , which forbids a water
company from disposing of Its property
necessary for Its use In the performing ol
Its duty to the public , forbids the forcible
taking of euch property from the company
or the creation of a lien threon , which might
result In the seizure and sale of the property.
One of the points advanced In the argumenl
of Mr. Webster yesterday wa.9 that there was
no ordinance passed by the city of Omaha
authorizing the City Water Works company
to sell and convey the plant to the American
Water Works company ( of Illinois ) , or to
make and execute the mortgages In con
troversy upon the plant ; nor was there any
law of the state of Nebraska authorizing such
transfer or mortgage of the property. TreatIng -
Ing the water plant as a public corporation ,
It was without authority to Issue bonds In
any amount. If treated as a private cor
poration , It was prohibited from becoming In
debted In any fum beyond $400.000. That
amount of Indebtedness previously existed , a
fact of which all Its bondholders had notice ,
as shown from the recitals M the mortgage
and bonds ,
It Is further argued that the recitals In
the mortgage are sufficient notice and thai
the trust company and bondholder. ? are bourn
to take notice of the recitals In the bonds
and mortgage and of the laws of the states
referred to In the mortgage. It Is also
claimed that the Issuing of the bonds am
mortgages was the culmination of a scheme
to evade the laws of Nebraska and to com
mit a gross wrong , of which the bondholders
had notice , and that If the bondholders have
a claim which they can assert ns creditors o
the company , the remedy Is not by a saie ol
the property under foreclosure , but Is lim
it c.1 to the sequestration of the earnings ol
the company.
Clarcnco H. Vennor was seen at the Omaha
club last evening. He said that If the Omaha
plant was restored to the possession of the
Illinois company an auxiliary line to Flor
ence wouU bo put In and all the Improve
ments asked for by the city would bo made
The second line to Florence wouU be forty-
six-Inch pipe.

Again Peorla won.
As usual , Omaha made a good start , scor
ing five runs by the grace of Drown's gen
erosity nnd timely two-bag swats by Shaffer
nnd O'Hrlen. After that their efforts were
simply childish. Hutchlnson made a hat full
of blunders , every one of them big- enough
to eat hay. It was his off day.
Uusle started In to do the twirling. He
lasted nearly a whole Inning. The first three
men up ho gave bases on balls , and would
IMJ giving bases on balls yet If Lehman hadn't
signalled Hutchlnson to bring him In and
chain him to the water tank. The man who
told Ames , he could pitch holds some grudge
against him. He couldn't pitch hay , and
should take the first train homo and apply
for a nice , easy position In the rolling mill.
Hut brighter days are coming. Uncle Da
vid went up to Minneapolis yesterday and
secured George Darby's release from Kans.u
City. He will ba here today and probably
go In ag.ilnst Jacksonville Sunday. So cheer
up ; many a good ball team has lost four
straight games. Omaha Is only having her
bad luck In a lump. The fickle goddess will
grin at us yet mind If she don't.
Tcday Is ladles' day , and a fine crowd will
surely ba on hand. After this Wednesday
will be ladles' day. IJy the way , a Miss
Sherwood won the season ticket by guessing
nearest to the attendance on the opening
day , and If she will send her address to The

lymph failure ami the llrown-Sequard
elixir of 1IIV delusion.
It Is to overcome this prejudice that
I Invoke the aid of the press. I court
the fullest : Investigation under your
direct and pcrxontil supervision. 1
would suggest that the fairest and
surest way to test the etllcacy of this
remedy would be for this company to
send 10.000 trial bottles to the World-
Herald olllce , there to be gi\cn out
absolutely free to all persons alllicted
with rheumatism : that the muni ! ami
address of eaeli person who accepts the
remedy be entered In a book , and at
the end of one week a reporter be de
tailed to Interview such parties who
have taken the medicine as are will
Ing lo testify to the merits or demerits
of the same , and the result In each
case to be published In the press. lly
this means there can be no deception
or fraud , and the value of the remedy
will stand or fall upon the testimony
of those who have tried It.
Improbable as this statement may
seem to you or to those who have doc
tored for years with the most skilled
physicians without benellt , yet 1 alllrm
and am prepared to prove by over 100-
000 people whom we have cured that
this remedy will cure acute or muscu
lar rheumatism In from one to live
days. It never fails to cure sharp ,
shooting pains In the arms , legs , shies ,
back or breast , or soreness In any part
of the body. It Is guaranteed to
promptly cure lameness , sciatica , lum
bago , still' and swollen Joints ,
slllf back and all pains In the
hip and loins. It seldom fails to give
relief after one or two doses , and al
most Invariably cures before ono bottle
has been used.
\Ve do not claim that tills remedy
will cure rheumatism where the limbs
are twisted out of shape , or where the
disease Is complicated by a scrofulous
diathesis , but by a careful record we
find that this remedy falls to cure in
only about ft per cent of the cases in
which It has been tried.
One of the strongest recommenda
tions for this remedy Is Hint It Is ab
solutely harmless , and that a person
can take the whole contents of a hot lie
without the slightest 111 effects. I'ldlke
the medicine used In ordinary practice
for the cure of rheumatism , such ns
Iodide , of potash and salicylic acid ,
which Irritate the stomach and kidneys
and disorganize the general system
without effecting a cure , this remedy
acts as a strong tonic , and is Invaluable
in building up wealc and debilitated
people.
IH'lleving that there Is no cause so
holy and inspiring , no vocation so lofty
and ennobling , nothing so sure of
man's gratitude and ( Jod's blessing as
an honest effort to relieve suffering hu
manity , I beg to remains , yours truly ,
