LINCOLN , June 17. ( Special. ) Two canes
of singular Interest regarding the property
rlglils of Insane people have lately developed
In tlio Norfolk Asylum for tlio Insane. Tlio
first one Is that of Nets Johnson , an aged
Swede , who formerly lived at Wlnnetoon ,
Knox county. On the 13th lust. Johnson
wrote to Governor Holcomb , by his daughter ,
us follows :
"Dear Sir : I am In need of protection. I
cannot get Ju'tlco In the county I live In , so
I hope you" will excuse mo for troubling
you. In the matter that follows you will
find enclosed doctor's certificate , which will
show I have been Insane for twelve years
and my farm Is taken on a forged and out
lawed mortgage , as enclosed abstract will
show.
"There have been employed seven lawyers
In the case. They filed papers In the court
that I was Insane , but my family could not
inalto the lawyers show the proof In court.
Had my family gotten true lawyers they
could have proven I was Insane In the court
just aa well as before the board of Insanity.
On October 0 , 1893 , It was proved In the
Knox county court before II. F. Chambers
that I was Insane , and on said day I was
thrown out of business. This year the case
has been reported to the attorney general ,
A. S. Churchill , also to the Stanton county
attorney , with Instructions to arrest A. A.
Halter of Manning nnd Georno A. Brook of
llazlle Mills , all of Knox county , for perjury
In Stanton on September 29 , 1894. If you
will please look over the abstract enclosed
you will find the mortgage described therein
Is dated back , and must , therefore , be a
blank mortgage , and I think the German
Savings bank of Davenport , la. , and Solomon
Draper of Nlobrara committed a desperate act
In trying to collect money on such mort
gage , and also Judge Isaac Powers , In Nor
folk , more desperate again for giving Judg
ment on mich a mortgage , a ? the abstract
will show It was to make the court a robber
for to rob me. I will leave It to you to de
cide which Is proper to arrest , the district
court of Knox county or Isaac Powers and
the rest of the guilty ones for robbing mo.
"Our bondsmen In the case were secured ,
and since I became an Inmate of the hospital
they paid up their bond without letting the
court decide how much there was to pay.
Then would have been the chance to show
up my Insanity. So you will see my own
bondsmen helped the German Savings bank
to rob mo. Now I shall ask you to order
ejme ; ot the stnto odicers to Investigate the
case and to arrest all the persons guilty of
any fraud In the aforesaid case. I want my
farm back again. Please let mo hear from
you.
you."Tho
"Tho farm la my homestead , and I cannot
get any lawyer to defend It. If I don't hear
from you I shall take the matter In my hand
and move In upon said homestead at the
point of a shotgun. "
SHOWING OF THE AUSTRACT.
It appears from the abstract enclosed thai
Johnson proved up on his liani's v u " n
ber 12 , 1893. On September 20 , 18S6 , John
son and his wlfo lletsy executed a mortgage
ta Clement L. Uoon for $1,500. On October
11 , 188G , Boon assigned the mortgage to the
German Savings bank of Davenport , la. The
mortgage was foreclosed nnd a sheriff's deei
Hailed March 2. 1891. April 1C , 1S9C , the ab
stract shows that an action to set aside the
decree of foreclosure and appointment o
guardian ad lltuin for Nets Johnson would bo
asked for. September 2C. 1894 , the court
found thai said German Savings bank was
the owner In fee simple of Johnson's home
stead , and that Nels and Delay had no Interest
torest whatever In the land , nnd they were
enjoined from molting any claim on the same
Attached to the abstract enclosed to the
governor Is a letter from Dr. J. L. Greene
then assistant physician at the Norfolk Hos
pltal for the Insane , as follows :
"NORFOLK HOSPITAL FOR INSANE
NORFOLK , Neb. , Jan. 1 , 1895 : I hereby
certify that Nels Johnson , husband of Dels ;
Johnson of Wlnnetoon , Neb. , is an Inmate
of tills hospital ; that the physician who ex
amlncd him testified that he had been Insane
twelve years ; that I am of the opinion tha
the ailment has extended over that length o
time. "
This statement would Indicate that John
son's Insanity dates back to the period when
he proved up on his land , and three year
prior to the ttmo of the execution ot th
mortgage to Clement L. Doon.
The case of Dr. Constantine Ruttgers , con
fined at the same hospital In Norfolk , I
radically different. The latter claims that h
Is sane , but has been placed In conflncmcn
by designing parties who have control of hi
property at Ponca , Dlxon county. Ruttger
Is a well educated German physician , with r
diploma from a medical Institution at Berlin
lie Is a single man. He- has been conllner
In the Norfolk asylum for two years , nu
was committed there by the court.
Governor Holcomb has received numerou
letters from Dr. Ruttgers' friends at Ponca
eaylng that the doctor is a victim of sharp
crs , that he Is not insano. and asking for ar
Investigation. One Important letter has beer
received from the doctor's attorney at Phlla
delphla , asking an Inquiry Into the case b )
the chief executive. Dr. Mackay , presen
superintendent of the Norfolk asylum , ex
presses the opinion that Ruttgers Is sane , bu
somewhat eccentric. It Is claimed by partle
In Ponca that many of the county olllcers ol
Dlxon county are prejudiced against Ruttger !
and Governor Holcomb suggests that Judgt
Morris of that district call In another judge it
try the case of Insanity , In order that no In
justice may be done. In this case Dr. J. L
Greene also expresses the opinion that Rutt
gers Is sane. Governor Holcomb will thor
otighly Investigate both of the cases. It 1 :
said that Dr. Ruttgers Is related to some o
tha German nobility.

LANCASTER TEACHERS MEET.
Chancellor Canfleld delivered the address
of welcome at the county teachers' Institute ,
which opened this morning for a two weeks'
wsslon. Ho said that it afforded him great
pleasure to meet the teachers of the county
once more ind to know that the state Insti
tute Is successfully opened. His last words
to the teachers ot Lancaster county and of
the state had been practically his flrst words ,
and the words that he had spoken as ho had
opportunity In hla work in the state. They
were to remind the teachers In the district
schools that they have in their hands the
shaping and direction of the great mass of
the future citizens of the state. He wished
to emphasize the thought that very much of
the reformation In the world must come
through Information. He urged that teachers
in the district schools should not bo discour
aged by lack of Interest In their work by
those who ought to help , or because their
efforts do not seem to be appreciated. What
Is done might wem very little , but It would
count In the grand aggregate of work dono.
Following the chancellor's address , the In
structors were Introduced and briefly out
lined their work. Regular work will begin
tomorrow. Commencing at 11:30 : in the
morning , Superintendent Marble of Omaha
will give a lecture each day at the state In
stitute , which Is also In session , to superin
tendents and principals. State Superintendent
Corbett spoke briefly on the value of Instl
tutes. Prof. Saylor ot Lincoln Normal was
present and spoke ot the value ot Individual
effort In mind growth. Miss Holmes of
Grand Island , who had charge of the work
In drawing last year , was warmly welcomed
by the teachers.

WASHINGTON , June 17. A second decree
has been received from Home concerning the
obligation of Catholics to remain outside of
the Knights of 1'ythlas organization. It
states that there appears to be no further
reason why the decree of last December
should not bo made public In all dioceses ,
and all archbishops and bishops are nccord-
ngly directed to promulgate the decree with
out further delay. When the decree was
first Issued the head of each diocese was
given two months within which to publish It
or else make known to Ilomo In writing what
special circumstance existed why publication
should be deferred. Most of these heads of
dioceses have since published the decree , but
as unofficial Information reached Homo that
some of the bishops had not yet acted this
second decree was Issued.

Germany s > il to lie McKOllutlnit for an

WASHINGTON , Juno 17. There Is rea
son to believe that the United States govern
ment will have occasion at no distant day
to give another Interpretation of the Monroe -
roe doctrine as applicable to the acquisition
of an Island off the coast of Venezuela , to
be used by Germany for a naval station. The
attention of officials has recently been di
rected to the Interests of Germany In that
locality , and there Is apprehension that the
subject may become quite as formidable In
aspect as that of llrltlsh aggression on
Venezuelan soil.
An enormous amount ot German capital
has been Invested In Venezuela of late un
der peculiar circumstances. The govern
ment wanted a railroad through a rich and
productive valley , and a German syndlcato
stood ready to build the road on condition
that Venezuela would guarantee 7 per cent
on the capital Invested. The guarantee
was given and the road built and put Into
operation about eight months ago. The
road has been In operation long enough to
determine that It will earn a dividend , but
Its most sanguine promoters do not hope
that It will pay 7 per cent on the outlay.
Whatever It earns .yflll be applied on the
Investment , and Venezuela then will have
to give sufficient to bring the earnings up to
7 per cent.
The circumstances are such as to lead to
the belief that the United States will again
bo called upon to define to what extent the
acquisition of territory by foreign powers
on South American soil Is compatible with
the Monroe doctrine. Great Uritaln already
possesses an Island at the mouth of the
Orinoco , on which a powerful naval station
has been established. There are two other
Islands near by , owned by Venezuela , either
ono cf which would bo well adapted to Ger
many's needs.
At the moment this German phase of the
Venezuelan question Is making Its appear
ance , the British branch of the subject Is
presenting a more favorable aspect. Official
intelligence has recently reached hero that
Sir Vincent Harrington , representing the
most extensive British Interests In Vene
zuela has most strongly urged upon the
British government the Importance of an
amicable settlement with Venezuela as a
means of protecting British Interests In that
country. Since the withdrawal of the Brit
ish minister at Venezuela , as a result of the
boundary trouble. Sir Vincent has stood as
the representative Briton In the country.
Ho Is at tbo head of the syndlcato of Lon
don capitalists who built the railroad from
Caracas to La Guayra , thus connecting the
capital with the chief seaport. At La
Guayra the syndicate built an artificial har
bor with breakwaters nnd stone wharves , at
the cost of several millions. Sir Vincent
managed these British interests , and his
appeals that they can be fostered best by a
settlement with Venezuela will doubtless
have an important Influence on the foreign
office.
Senor Andrado. the Venezuelan minister
here , when asked as to Germany's purpose ,
said he had not been Informed ot any In
tention to acquire one of the Venezuelan
Islands for a naval station.
