TENDER. Nob. , Juno 23. ( Special Tele-
gram.-Captaln ) William H. Beck served no
tices on thirty renters occupying Winnebago
lands under a lease from the Flournoy com
pany last Thursday to vacate Inside ot three
days or legal step ? would be taken to remove -
move them. Fr l Smith , a Flournoy com
pany tenant , residing on the outskirts of the
Wlnnebago reservation , was visited Satur
day evening at 5:30 : o'clock by thirteen armed
Indian police with direct orders from Captain
Heck for him to Immediately vacate. Smith
resisted the police , whereupon they pro
ceeded to load his household effects , turn
ut tils stock and by physical strength suc
ceeded In throwing Smith and wife Into the
wagon. The party then started for the
agency. Arriving there , they took a north
erly direction , going toward Homer , Neb.
A heavy rain and wind storm cameup about
9 o'clock , and the Indian police left Smith
and wife to the mercy of the raging storm.
Ono of Smith's horses had given out , and
leivlng his wife on the reservation he started
with the other animal for Pender , reaching
town about 10 o'clock this morning. Smltn
proposes to return to his Winnebago farm
as soon as possible.
Ono hundred and fifty settlers occupying
Flournoy lands on the Winnebago reserva
tion and other renters held a meeting at
Emerson , Neb. , yesterday , and perfected an
organization for self protection , and to carry
Out the policy of the government relative
to the leasing of Winnebago lands. They
proposed to make leases with none other
than directly with the Indians as soon as
their present leases expire , and In accord
ance with the governmental regulations.

LINCOLN , June 23. ( Special. ) Persons
vcho have believed that with the filling of
, the numerous secretaryships of the State
Hoard of Irrigation there would be a dearth
of applications for place are doomed to have
that sense of relief overthrown. With the
coming of the 1st of August another bitch
of bills passed by the lasl legislature will
go Into effect. Many of these arc loaded
with fat positions , for which , ot course , many
members of the late legislature arc none too
good to apply. Among these bills1 Is Sen
ator Caldwell's dentistry bill , senate file No.
29. Ostensibly this Is an act to regulate
the practice of dentistry and to punish viola
tions thereof. In reality It provides the
State Hoard of Health with three secretaries ,
all of whom arc to bo appointed from a lift
recommended by the Nebraska State Dental
society.
Tlio bill virtually confesses alleged Impotency -
potency Of the State Hoard of Health by
making It the duty ot these three secretaries
to "assist nnd advise the board in the per
formance of. Us duties. " The bill. In fact ,
tnkca all power from the State Board of
Ilclath In the following provision , TO far as
the subject of dentistry is concerned :
Sec. C. It shall be the duty of nil persons
engaged in the practice of dentistry In the
state of Nebraska at the time of the pas-
sugu of this act , and desiring to continue
the same , to make application for u certifi
cate to suld secretaries of the State Uoiird
of Health , within six months nfter the
pnssoKR of thla uct. Said application to be
accompanied by a certified copy of formei
and original registration , with notary's .seal
nllnchod. ' 'If.- upon Investigation of said
registration nnd ullldavlt , tnc applicant shall
bo found entitled to practice under act ol
legislature approved March 2 : ! , 1SS7 , entitled
"An act to regulate the pructlcu of dentistry
and punish violations thereof , In the atutc
of Nebraska , " there shall be Issued to wild
applicant the certificate of said board , under
the scul and algnaturo of ltd secretaries.
Why Ihere should bo Ihe number of three
secretaries Instead of one , or what the sec-
rotnrlc3 can do thai the State Board of
Health cannot do. Is nowhere explained In
the bill. The one redeeming feature of thla
Impending meat-lire Is the fact that the new
offices are fee olllces exclusively. "No part
of the salary or other expenses of the sec
retaries shall bs paid out of the state treas
ury. " But because there are three secre
taries Instead of one , the fees are made pro
portionately higher , and this becomes a bur
den upon practicing dentists In the state ,
Graduates of reputable dental colleges are
taxed the sum ot $2 apiece ot their certifi
cates. All ethers appearing for examlnatlo'r
must pay the secretaries $10 apiece. "Eacli
person to whom a certificate Is Issued 1 > J
rcison ot former registration , as set fort !
In section 5 of this act , must pay the sun
of $1. " While It Is provided thai the pel
diem of the secretaries shall bo $3 , there I :
also a cunningly arranged clautv In the bll
as follows :
AH moneys received In excess of said pe
diem allowances chilli be held by said sec
rotarlca ns n special fund for meeting thi
expenses of Bald secretaries and the prosocu
tlon of violators of this act.
The main provisions of the 'bill ore goo <
In so far as they protect the public fron
empirics and bungling work. Hut the to ,
evident purpose of the measure was to flm
more political offices to be filled by polltlca
favorites , and for the purpose ut paying o [
political debts.

Iver the oration a roar went up from this

nado by subscribers thai Ihey would wlth-
Iraw their subscriptions and take no part In

lowever , has had the effect of changing many
nlnds. Some of the conservative citizens
ave chuckled at the brazen Imposition on the

Undoubtedly the best , most exciting end
atlsfactory game ot ball played In Omaha
hla season was that yesterday afternoon
) ctwccn Grandpa Nlcol's nntodeluvlans and
ho Hutchlnson family , and what was btUr
han all , U was witnessed by one ot Hie
argesl congregations of cranks seen at the
iark this year.
It was essentially a pitcher's battlu. and
out of which the Omaha twlrler emerged
vltli much the best ot It ; In fact , he hade
o bend almost double as he strode oft the
field with the load of glory heaped ipon :
his sturdy young shoulders.
It was George Washington CarrUh against
Ebsnezer Adolphus Howe , and while George ,
Washington carried off the palm , Ebenezer
plucked a few laurel leaves by the way
side himself , and he deserved a better fate.
Ebenezer Is brand new and fresh from
Chicago , and , after a fashion , Is a very nice
sort of a chap. Ills habits are elmplo end
childlike , and ho wears plain clothes nnd a
genial smile always. NIc said that Ebenezer
'nherlted much of his pitching strength from
ils father , who for nearly thirty years has
lone nothing but pitch roofs In IMtUburg.
Hut that Is neither here nor there. U Is
sufllclent to remark that Grandpa Nlcol has
assod a good running mate for Underwood ,
and with the two , he ought to win a good
nany games when he once strikes Lincoln
\nd the other country villages In the circuit.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHUT OUT.
Had It not have been for one or two large ,
fleshy errors Grandpa Nlcol would have been
nest artistically slathered with kalsomlne ,
as ho didn't earn a single one of the tallies
10 got , and didn't deserve nny. Still he
'limed and fussed and cavorted around as
f he was the only man In the game , and
once or twice he ran right out Into the field
and knawed great orifices In the atmos-
There , he was BO allflred mad at Mr. Mc-
Inlss , and mind you Mr. McGlnlss wasn't
lolng a thing but what he was hired to
do.
do.The
The first man to pose before Mr. Howe
was Ulrlch. He has had his little finger
lalf-soled and Is back In the game once
more.
Mr. Howe scanned the Grasshopper crlt-
: cally , then he took a careful aim at hts
collar button and let her fly. It caught
the .Insect In the ribs and Colonel McGlnlss
waved him to first. Jimmy Slagle's sacrl
[ lea advanced him to second , and a passed
t > all pushed him on to the third corner.
Then Mister Shaffer struck out , and the
Chicago youth was so glad he became be
wildered. The color surged up into his
fair young temples , and ho fondled the ball
like a baby does a piece of mud. At last
ho became aware what he was there for ,
and with a sudden revulsion of the impulse
that had previously moved him , he thrust
the ball like an evil thing away from him.
And so did Hutch.
Ho swatted It'sifely past second , and the
Grasshopper loped home.
Grandpa NIc screamed violently at him from
far right field , and tor the next moment
young Mr. IIowo was evidently engiged In
assuring himself that his precipitation could
certainly In nowise alter his relations with
his octogenarian manager. He thunk for a
full minute , and In his absorption , he quite
forgot that little Willie O'Brien was waiting
for him with a big club In his hands.
WILLIE AND PETIE SINGLED.
Finally , thrilled by Grandpa's wild bellow-
Ings In the field , ho fired ono at Willie. It
made a blue dado long the ground past Fond
end , and Hutch paced 'round to third.
Young Mr. Howe's face now boame lavishly
decorated with agony , and In a panic he
lobbed ono over as big as pay day , and
I'etle Lehman hit It full In the face for a bag ,
bringing the captain In and pushing fat little
Willie on to second.
Young Mr. Howe was now a pitiful sight to
behold , and this was his debut. He looked
ct Grandpa back over his shoulder , but
grandpa was husy eating hay , and young Mr.
Howe turned to himself again.
Suddenly ho flared up like , a campaign
torch , and fiercely releasing the sphere , ho
knocked oft a chunck of Husscl Pace's right
leg and the btses were full.
Young Mr. Howe's throat was becoming
very dry , and he had an Indistinct Idea that
he was not expressing himself with that dig
nity and lucidity which he had Intended , and
he carelessly let go ot another easy one.
Paddy Miles went after this one , and he
lifted it out back over Colonel Ink's head ,
and Willie and Petlo chased each other over
the pan.
That was all of It Carrlsh struck out.
Grandpa opened up for his crowd by rip
ping three gapping slashes In the Jocund Jui.e
afternoon , and amidst the derisive cries of
the bleachers he went back and sal gently
down upon the bench. There he sat and
lingered and dreamed , like an old nun Just
emerging from a long spell of typhus fever.
OMAHA'S SCOUING SOON OVER.
Dut where's the use In stringing out this
woeful tale. In the second Inning Ulrlch
scored his second run on a base on balls
'another sacrifice and a hit by Shaffer , am'
It was horse collar after horse collar after
that to the end. In the third Grandpa NIc
got home. Ulrlch's pardonable error lei
him to first , old Tanner Vlsner sacrifice !
him to second , and ho glodejiome on Whoa
Hill ICreig'g scratch single.
Then followed an empty void until the
Inst half of the ninth , when the crowds wcro
severely pained.
Think of U Grandpa's band scored three
ono within a tie , and that , too , on but a
single hit. Hutch's blunder was responsible
for Vlsner's reaching first. Ho stole second
then , after Whoa Hill had flown out to Shafe
Trilby got his base on four wild one ? , amen
on Miles' mlscue on Kllng's red-hot- grounder
the Farmer scored. Trllb went to third , riu
Kllng himself to second. Then Snyder le
her out safe , and the Rockforda were within
one of Omaha. But they got no further
Shafe took care ot Holland's long high fly
and Miles threw Snyder out at second on
Ink's tap.

llcport of the Output of the 3lne of the
United Suite * .
WASHINGTON , June 23. The annual
governmenl reporl on Ihe mineral resources
of Ihe United States for the calendar year
1891 has been completed. It was compiled
under the supervision of Dr. D. T. Day ,
chief of the mineral department of the geological
logical survey , and Is based on reports of
many experts and special agents.
The total product shows a great decline
from the output of 1893 , due , the report
says , mainly to the financial conditions , but
also to special features which affected the
net result. The most notable of Ihese was
the strike of the bituminous coal miners ,
accounting largely for the greatly decreased
production and Increase In price for part of
the year. The strike naturally Increased
the use of anthracite , which partly made up
for the decreased demand for this substance ,
due to depression of manufactures. The
low price ot silver Is responsible for the
decrease In the production. The consumption
of petroleum exceeded the production , greatly
decreasing the stocks at the wells and In
creasing the prices. The total production
was valued at { 524,955,131 , The total value
of non-metallic mineral products was $305-
786,343 ; metallic , $218,168,788 , and unspeci
fied mineral products estimated at $11,000,000.
The official results of the Investigation of
the metallic products of the country for
the year are as follows , arranged by quantity
and vajue :
Pig tron , 6,657,388 long tons , $65,007,247

The report states that the declining
tendency In Iron and steel for 1893 contin
ued for 1894. Pig Iron production decreased
from 7,121,502 long tons to 6.657,388 , and the
valuation decreased nearly $20.000,000. Iron
ores Increased 23,500 long tons In production
and $4,687,938 In value. The gold product
for the year Is the largest since 1878.
Silver production declined over 10,000,000
ounces. The rapidly Increasing zinc product
of late years was checked In 1893 and 1894
and a slight decline noled In both years.
The exhaustion ot the Virginia pockets of
ore caused a decline In the manganese pro
duct , which was less than half the output In
1892. Careful examinations of the Kings
Mountain , N. C. , locality Indicate consid
erable ore which may yield 3 per cent.
The nickel product was reduced to one-
fifth of the 1893 output , and antimony valu
ations decreased $9,000. The production
came from Nevada and was smelted In San
Francisco.
The petroleum export was the largest yet
recorded , over 100,000,000 gallons more than
In 1893. Tlit total value of the total product
of stone of all kinds Increased from $33,885-
573 to $37,092,102.
Barytes , ochre , umber , soapitone and Ven
etian red ) ihowed a material decrease. The
value of rough gems decreased from $201,041
In 1S93 to $132,250 In 1894.
The mica Industry Is still supplied by Ir
regularity In mining methods. Mineral waters
declined orcr $500,000 In value during the
year.

CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , Juno 23. ( Spe
cial. ) Carelessness on the part of many ot
the government purveyors who surveyed portions
tions of Dakota territory during early days
Is causing endless strife and litigation to
determine the ownership of thousands of
acrcjj ot valuable land. Many ot these sur
veys are nils-leading as to boundaries , and In
every Instance where surveys Imvo been or
dered by county authorities the old surveys
have been found to be wholly wrong. Per
sons who took land In accordance with the
old survey refuse to permit the lines to be
changed to conform to the new surveys , for
the reason that many of them would lose
quantities ot land by the transaction. Ilurko
township , Mlnnchaha county , has for years
been the scene of bitter strife In this connec
tion.
tion.With
With the hope ot adjusting the difficulty a
new survey was made. A majority of the
people of the township and township officers
are In favor of the new eurvey , but a num
ber whose properly Is allectcd by the changes
In the lines nre strongly opposed to It , and a
very bitter feeling has been engendered be
tween the two factions. This feeling has
caused a number of personal encounters. Un
less the people can como to some amicable
agreement In the matter serious trouble Is
liable to ensue. Shortly after the resurvey
was made parties opposed to It secured an
Injunction restraining the town board from
laying out and working the road according
to the new lines. The case- was appealed to
the ttate supreme court , which remanded It
for retrial. At the retrial it was dismissed
on a technicality. Then the plaintiffs started
a new case , which Is now before the circuit
court , and has not yet been disposed of.
MET ARMED INSISTENCE.
The township board was meanwhile advised
by counsel that the new survey Is the legal
ono until It Is proved illegal , and acting on
this advlco the board proceeded to work the
roads according to the now lines , there being
no Injunction restraining them. Acting In
conjunction with the supervisors , E. Raymond
mend , road overseer , ordered out a large
number of men nnd teams nnd undertook to
work a new read through land claimed by a
man named Richardson. The owner of the
land , his wlfo and several neighbors , resisted
them. Richardson arme < l himself and threat
ened to shoot any one who wont on his land.
Turner township. Turner county. Is the
scene of another bitter struggle over the loca
tion of the boundary lines. It so happened
that the first settlers In this township wore
Germans , while a large number of Scandina
vians came later. Last year the Scandina
vians secured a majority on the town board
and ordered a resurvcy. Since then a race
war ot no mean proportions has been waged.
Part of the corner stones that marked the
new survey were stolen. Quarrels and fights
Innumerable have taken place- , until It Is
said thai every corner stone placed Is a monument
ment to a fight between the Germans and
Scandinavians. Over forty arrests have been
made , the lust being the wholesale arrest of
twenty-three Scandinavians on the dliarge of
unlawful assemblage and disturbance of the
peace.
EARLY DAY SURVEYS.
To determine the manner In which snrveys
were made In early days , the writer obtained
a number of Interesting tacts from a gen
tleman who Is thoroughly conversant with
the subject. In early days the surveying
contracts were awarded as payment for po
litical services , regardless ot whether or not
the contractors were surveyors. To carefully
measure the distances on a level with a chain
was altogether too mucSi work for these poli
tician surveyors. They hit upon an Ingenious
method by which the work could ho done
with rapidity1 and ease. It was to mark the
wheel of a wagon by wrapping a bit of red
flannel around It , and while one man drove
another would count the revolutions made by
the marked wheel. This reduced surveying tea
a minimum of work and a maximum of speed.
That some quarter sections thus measured
contained as high as 240 acres and others
only 80 acres did not trouble these early sur
veyors. Ono consequence of this was that
the first settlers were careful to select large
quarters , while the settlers arriving later
were compelled to take what was left , and
it Is that fact that Is now creating the strife
In the various localities. .
Many of the so-called surveyors who were
sent into the field knew very little about
surveying. One Instance Is related whore
a surveyor arrived In one ot the territorial
counties to survey a number of townships
Included In his contract. Upon arriving on
the ground he discovered that another sur
veying party had already surveyed several
of the townships embraced In his Contract ,
the first party to arrive being unable to
locate the section of territory that their
contract covered. They simply went by
guess , their principal ambition being to go
through the motions and have their contract
completed as early as possible so they could
get their pay. On paper It would .look at
If the greatest care- had been exercised In
the work. Dakota was then a part of the
"Great American Desert , " and the early
surveyors went on the plan that It would
always remain uninhabited , and that no one
would ever be affected by their careless
methods.
STRAIGHT LINES THAT CURVED.
In one of the lower counties Don Homme
n homesteader was very anxious to learn
If the lines of his land reached to a bend
In a creek , the waters of which afforded a
first-class water power. Ho engaged a sur
veyor to Investigate. The result was that
the surveyor announced that the creek ran
partially through the homesteader's land.
The homesteader went out to see where the
boundaries of his land wore located accordIng -
Ing to the new survey. Ho found that the
stakes along what was supposed to be the
line on the creek side were not in a straight
line , as they should be , but on the other
hand extended In the shape of a semi-circle.
The surveyor's attention was called to the
discrepancy.
"Oh , h 1 , " he answered , carelessly , "you
said you would like to have- the water power ;
If you wunt the whole ot It the line will
have to be curved moro than that. " Ho
evidently believed In "giving satisfaction or
money refundea. "
The attention of another surveyor , who
had Just completed a large government con
tract , was called to the fact that no corner
monuments had been erected as required.
"Oh , I'll fix that on paper , " was his reply.
He- did fix It on paper and his work was
duly accepted and paid for.
Nowadays such methods would result In
the dUcomfltura of those attempting to de-
Ira ud the government In this fashion. The
government authorltlci arc very strict , nnd
new surveys ore. critically and minutely
examined by an Inspector prior to approval
by the department. If It U found that a
surveyor has not compiled with his con
tract to the letter , the government brings
such pressure to bear upon him that ho Is
glad to emerge from the difficulty without
the necessity of serving a term In the peni
tentiary.

MAKY AND JOHN IN REAL
.Mnilcru of ( Irniul Inlnn.l nnd Their Mntrl.
inonlnl TrnROily *
Th's ' morning at 2 o'clock John Mader , who
was arrested , last night shortly before mid
night on the charge of Insanity , attempted
to commit suicide by hanging himself la
his cell. Ills wife , who had run awny from
him , and who was furnished with lodging
because Pile had no other place to go , was
at the station at the time.
For two hours after Mader was placed la
the celt ho spent the tlmo In moaning and la
begging tils runaway Mary to "ploa e , pleas *
como back. " He kept this up until 2 o'clock
and was then quiet. Olllcer Flynn , who was
acting as turnkey , thought something might
bo wrong , and after waiting a few
minutes and hearing nothing mori
from him , went to the cell , lit
found Mader hanging from the window
In the cell. Sergeant Slgwart was summoned
and cut him down. Mader was unconscious
and was apparently near death's door , but In
A few moments revived.
He had taken the shirt from his back and
torn It Into shreds and twisted It Into tha
rope. He tied ono end to one ot the bars ol
the window , whlcn was about six feet from
the floor , and the other end around his neck.
Then ho drew up his knees and dropped.
When found his toes wcro touching the floor.
John Mader did nol know how lo treat a
wife , or at any rate did not know how to
Ircat Mrs. Mader. They lived together fet
nlno years , but Instead of finding matrimony
a life ot love and dreams , Mrs. Mader found
It a bitter burden. John was accustomed ta
beat her and abuse her In many ways , and
quite frequently ho did not give her enough
to eat. Mrs. Mader's love turned to halo and
on last Thursday the straw came that broke
the camol's back , the latter being Mrs. Ma
der's stock of patience. On that occasion John
first whipped her and then placed her on A
very slim diet. Mrs. Mader had a friend
nnmed Pink Davis , porter In a hotel , and with
him skipped and came to this city.
When It was too late John discovered that
ho still loved his wife. Ho determined to
woo her again , and , packing up tils grip , he
followed her to this city , arriving here yes
terday. In the course of the afternoon ha
discovered Davis and his wlfo In a lodging
house on Tenth and Howard streets. Ho
didn't delay a minute , but , falling on his
knee ? , ho begun to ply bis suit , the refrain
of tile pleadings being , "Please , please , Mary ,
come back. Please , please do , " ad Inllnltum.
This thing got a little monotonous to tha
occupants of the house , and Officers Russell *
and Klssane were called In. They patched
up a peace , and Mary consented to argue
the matter with John.
The two lefl the house together late In
the afternoon , and until 11 o'clock they
walked the street , engaged in earnest con
versation. John promised to give her every
thing , even a now hat every year , If she
would only como back to his arms , but Mary
had scraped up quite an acquaintance with
John during the nine years she has lived with
him , and she remained obdurate. Finally
they wenl to the police station , and there
Mary came out flat-footed , and said flic would
not live with John a minute longer , even It
ho had $1,000,000. This phazcd John a lltlla
and when Mary said she wanted to stay at
the station all night , ho remarked thai ha
would find a lodging and como back In tha
morning and continue the argument.
John lefl and gel a room al Ihe Englt
hotel , 414 South Fourteenth street. About
r
half an hour later the proprietor of thli * '
hostelry rushed Into the station and ex
citedly .slated that ion c man who had just
been asjlgned * . ) a room had gone stark ,
staring ma I anl tnat four men were slttlnn
on him to keep him quiet. The patrol wagon
went out and returned with John , who was
still pleading , "Please , please , Mary. " It
appear d MM as soon as John was given
room he began to yell "Please , Mary , " at tin
lop of h'siic * and tried to bite himself
and e\vry ono else within range , f favorlts
amusement If his with Mary.

Grand Isiiid.
BOLLN SETTLES ON A NOTE
Transfers Kottl Kitato to Make Uood Money
llnrrowed Seven Year * ABO.
Last Saturday among the real estate Instru
ments placed on record was the transfer of
the deeds of ten lots In block 2 and five. lots
In block 3 , Fosdyko Place , and ono lot In
Humboldt Place , from Henry Bolln and wlte
lo Marx Stuhr , the consideration named being
$4,100. Mr. Bolln gives the following expla
nation of the matter :
Some seven years ago , when ho was In
partnership with Slevcrs In the grocery busi
ness on Sixteenth strcpt , the firm borrowed
$4,100 from Marx Stuhr , giving two notes , ona
for $3,000 and the other for $1,100 , the In
terest being 8 per cent. Stuhr had borrowed
the mon.ey from a party In Davenport , la. ,
and was paying 4 per cent Interest. When
Dolln and Slevcrs dissolved * partnership
Stovers transferred to Dolln the ten lots In
block 2 of Fosdyko Place , and the latter as *
sumed the responsibility for Iho notes. Re
cently Ihe Davenport party recalled his money
from Stuhr and the latter consequently made
a demand upon Dolln for payment of the
notes. Bolln did not 'havo ' the necessary
money , and on May S made the transfer of
the property to Stuhr , bul It was not placed
on record until Saturday.
"Tlio property Is not worth $1,100 , " said
nolln , "bul U was all I could do for Stuhr.
I Intend to pay him every dollar when I get
on my feet again. "
Mr. Uolln said that he has recently re
ceived an offer from his broUier In Douglas , - ' " '
