frontier of the country are to follow.
"During the troubles In Louisiana , that I
need simply to recall to ycu liy name , ami
the very name will show to you the1- !
portant political character , he wai on u
ttt that stale and won admiration and re
spect for the ovcnhanded Ju tlco that he
administered to that people. DJrlng the labor
riots of 1877 ( I think I have the year correctly -
rectly ) In Pennsylvania , under Hancock , he
was the efficient aid of that ireat toldier.
And I need not recall to you the later ser-
vlce , how , when upon the northern frontier
of this state that warlike , that wonderful
trlbo of Indians , the Sioux , madB tholr out

oil our border settlements , General John II.

"My frlomls , we are about to part with
thli gallant solJIcr who for seven years has
been In our midst ; we ore about to say good
bye to him and to that estimable woman
whom wo equally love with that gallant hus

fitting that the citizens of Omaha should
signify their affection for General Urooke
by some testimonial , and I bear In my hand ,
written on enduring parchment , this tribute
to him :

"General Urooke , I know that this will I
bo cherished by you. I know that when you
look over the names that are hero they will
recall to you many pleasant and I hope many
profitable hours which you have spent In
this community that parts with you with
most clnccre regret ; and , as a further token
of the esteem In which you are held , I de-
slre , on behalf of the citizens of Omaha , tr
present , not to you , for I fear that you
would mliuso It ( laughter ) , but to Mrs ,
Brooke , and she may occasionally allow you
to partake of Its contents , this punch bowl ,
I do not know who will brew the decoctions
or the concoctions that may b ; ladled from
U to the delectation and enjoyment of those
who will surround It , but If on tasting II
you should flnd It too Hour , sweeten It wltli
the recollections of Omaha and the realiza
tion of how much you are loved and esteemed
by this community. ( Applauie. ) If you flm' '
It too sweet I have no question but that yoi
can make It somewhat bitter when you thlnfc
of the regret with which wo part from you. "

GENERAL BROOKE'S RESPONSE.
Upon conclusion of his presentation speed
Mr. Mnndcrson escorted to the platform General

all sides for a speech. After a minute's ham
clapping , he replied ns follows :

DENVER , May 10. A special to .the News
from Trinidad. Colo. , says : A terrible gas
explosion occurred early this morning at 4
o'clock In the mines of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company at Soprls , which resulted
In the Instant death of four persons and
the Injury of two others.
The dead are :
SYhVESTUE HOOD , leaves wife and one
child.
JOHN LUI1AHN. unmarried.
ALUEHT LAEMMENIUNGEU , leaves wlfo
and three chldren.
1ILAS KOCCOCOMICII , leaves wife and
three chldren.
The Injured are :
Jerry Nolds , seriously burned.
Albert Lloyd , slightly burned and bruised.
The position of all the bodies when found
showed that the men were at work when the
explosion occurred. They were laying across
the track , which they had been using , and
evidently met their fate while unwarned of
any danger. They all were badly burned
and hlackened from the explosion. It Is
thought the tire originated In the accumula
tion of coal dust and was Ignited from K
miner's lamp , as none of the mines In this
region have ever been troubled with gas , and
the ventilation of the mine Is good. Had
the explosion occurred during the day time
when the men were all at work the result
would have been frightful , as ordinarily
there are from 200 to 300 men employed
In the mines. _

WASHINGTON , May 10. The supreme

though the Income tax had never come up to
receive the attention of the supreme courl

less ho has found occasion within the past

members of the court with hl3 views.
There Is llttlo doubt entertained but that
the court's decision will be announced next

of the general expectation In Washington that
It will be antagonistic to the law as a whole ,
though .nothing in the nature of a definite

Clouilbnm Flooded the Town.
HEIIMANSVILLE. Miss. , May 10. The
cloudburst at this place yesterday did great
damage to property , but no lives were lost.
The downpour of rain was terrific and It
overflowed all streams In tlio neighborhood.
The town and surrounding country was a
sea of surging water. Fences , outhouses ,
etc. , were swept from their foundations and
through the main streets , of the town rushed
a raging river five feet In depth. It over
flowed many houses , sweeping over the
ground floor. The stock which could not begotten
gotten to the upland la time- had to swim to
places of safety. Men had to give up the
task of rescue as the water soon rose above
their heads. The people sought safety In
second stories and so far as can bo learned
no lives were lost. The wires are all down
he-avy trees having fallen across them.

point In the triangular dispute between the

George P. Miller , acting for the Northern
Paclllc receivers , fllcil separate objections to
sixty-one claims growing out of the opera
tion of the terminal property. The amount
Involved IH but slightly over JGO.OOO , but In
the litigation following the proving of
claims , the question as to who .shall pay the
amount , tosether with other large sums In
volved , and the main question In dispute
will be t-ettled. There Is no contention us to
the validity of the claims against the com
panies , the question being , and It Is a big
one , just who Is liable.
In several cases objection Is made na to
the exact amount of the claim , but the dif
ferences are not material.

Hot KTCII for the I'cnlten-
tlnry liivcstlgutlou.
TOPEKA , Kan. , May , 10. A complaint
charging Governor E. N. Merrill with hav
ing obtained money under false pretenses
was filed tn the office of Justice of the
Peace Grover this afternoon. It was s\\orn
to by G. W. Peters , a storekeeper of the
state penitentiary , and contains two counts.
One charge Is that the governor signed a
voucher authorizing the auditor of the state
to Issue a warrant for $1G6 to J. L. Drlstow ,
and the other that he signed a voucher author
izing a warrant In favor of Charles Hull for
$75 , and the vouchers both set forth that
they were for services rendered to the state.
Peters alleges that the amounts named were
drawn out of the state treasury and have not
been covered backf that they were so drawn
on false pretenses , and that It Is the duty of
the officers of the law to make a thorough
Investigation of the case and If Governor
Merrill should bo guilty ho should bo pun
ished.
Justice Grover said soon after the com
plaint had been filed that he would not Issue
a warrant for Governor Merrill's arrest un
til he had been directed to do so by County
Attorney Snfford. Attorney Safiord said
there was no evidence of false pretenses
shown In the examination. "There's no
danger of the defenedant running away , "
added he , "so I'll lay aside the complaint
and sleep on It tonight. " It Is not at all
likely that the warrant will bo served on
Governor Morrill.
Success follows the use of Dr. Price's

SHE GOT HER POSITION.
This Young l.niljUIIDW How to ( Jiiln Her
Point trlth H Seimltlvn Oinrlnl.
The session of the legislature In every
state brings to the capltol a retinue of appli
cants for every position , from clerk of the
senate to assistant lireman. This year there
has been an unusually large number of people
out of work. In one of the western drouth-
stricken states , where the number of em
ployes for the sixty days' session has been
limited by law to 200. there were no less than
2,500 needy applicants.
The day bsfore the opening of the session ,
relates the New York Herald , a shy girl
knocked at the door of the attorney general's
office.
"Is the atttorney general In ? " she asked
timidly.
"Yes , " said a clerk. "He will see you
when ha gets through with this long line of
job hunters. Just have a seat. "
In the numerous chairs , on the office lounge
and standing , were twenty or moro waiting
for a turn to prcs some claim for a position.
The attorney general was rather a gruff
looking man , and ho dismissed each with the
remark : "I can't do anything for you.
Sorry , you know , but there are hundreds of
applicants , and each officer , every legislator ,
'hus a dozen begging for each position. "
When the timid girl's turn came she handed
the Impatient looking officer a letter. She
said nothing , she hardly looked into his face.
"I'm sorry. Miss C. , that I can do nothing
for you. It was foolish for you to come here
expecting to get work. I'd be glad to help
you If I could , but , you tee , It's this way , I
have no Influence to get you a position. I
am very "
"Wo were speaking of that at home , but I
thought it would do no harm to see you , "
she Interrupted , "And we were saying what
a pity It was that you had lost your Influ
ence. "
The state cfllclal winced. He looked as If
something hurt him. '
"Hrown , " he said , turning to his deputy
with unnecessary abruptness , "this young
lady Is to have a position In the enrolling de
partment. See that there Is a place for her
If you have to muzzle every legislator In the
building. "
