PROPERTY DISAPPEARING.
The governor ald that It had been repre
dented to him that a deterioration of betweei
$700 nnd $300 had taken place In the Dor
'Ban property since the appraisers valued I
over a month ago. The Ice had been usei
from continually : out of some 2.0 hogs bu
about 100 remained , and considerable clothlni
had been taken nway and worn out. Ii
view of these facts he deemed It best tha
Bonie further adjustment of the value b
made before Dorgan was paid.
On the lieels of this lette-r name the new
that the court had found In Dorgan's favor
nnd the latter came directly tn the capltol t
get his warrant. The temporary Injunctlo :
had been dissolved and there was apparent ! ,
nothing now In the way but the request o
the governor. Auditor Moore and the lloan
of Public Lands nnd llulldlngs , necompnnie
by Dorgan , went to the governor's olllce an
n conference was held. The governor ex
plained that the letter was written tinder th
assumption that a decision would not be mad
Immediately by the court. He had estimate
the depreciation of the prison property a
about $750.
Stale Treasurer Dartley , speaking for th
board , said that Dorgan's contract began run
nlng again July 1 and there was now t
his credit $450. Dorgan had paid $00 fn
tin new lot of medicines bought since th
appraisement , nml also $200 for the materlr
and dinner for the Fourth of July celcbratlo
at the prison tomorrow. This made $710 an
Dorgan was willing to call the matter squat
without more ado provided he could ha %
lila warrant today. Tilts was apparent !
satisfactory to the governor nnd the mcetln
adjourned.
NO WARRANT DRAWN.
Then the 'question came up would It 1

house by Auditor Moore and Dorgan , whei
the facts concerning the supersedeas wet
learned. The two were also advised to secut

legislature appropriating $35,000 to "buy 01

The reply of W. Morton Smith to the
answer of the Call Publishing company to
tlio application for a receiver Is quite leiiKthy
I and rather torrid In character. Smith de
clares * that Austin's answer is largely a tissue
of falsehoods. Smith claims that ho opposed
the purchase of the $7,000 press , but that
Austin said lie could borrow the money of his
'atlier-ln-law ' , and did so. He also avers
that Austin made. $1.500 out of the deal for
ils relative by getting the price reduced
| SOO and borrowing $1,000 on corporation
notes from the First National bank , but mak-
ng no corresponding reduction In the amount
of the notes to Frease. Smith declares that
the Call Is wholly Insolvent nnd unable to pay
its debts ; that there are enough mortgages
hanging over It to swamp It , and that It has
no credit or money with which to buy mate
rials to keep the paper running.
While no public arrangements have been

prospects for small grain are the best In the
history of Hurt county. During a ride of

nearly over the county say there Is not a
poor field of small grain In Hurt county. The
corn crop promises nn unusual yield. The
wet weather delayed cultivation In some lo
calities , but the crop as a whole could be
no better nt this season of the year. A large
portion will b" "laid by" In a few days.
Many fields now are too largo to cultivate.

will have to be some extension of these lines
especially If the Southern Pacific continue

Councilman Henry Mies claims to have
discovered that , there Is n combine nmong
the grading contractor ? here nnd predicts
that the city council will put ft stop to nny
further foolishness In the grading business.
There are three contractors doing business
In this city nnd vicinity who send In bids
every time a piece of grading Is ordered
lone. As ? a rule the bids are so close to
gether that It Is difficult to determine whom
o give the contract to. Not long since bid *
'or ' a certain piece of work were opened
nnd read to the city council. The grading
vas to cost several hundred dollars and the
.hree contractors' bids differed not more
: lian one-tenth of n cent. Though the close-
less of the bids was commented on no fur-
: hcr notice was taken of the matter by the
council. When the work was ordered Mies
letermlncd to keep his eye on the contractor
nnd t ) < c work.
It nppears , so Mies says , that nil three of
he bidders turned tn and helped out the
tii'ky bidder. This caused the councilman
to remember other bids of the same nature
ind he Is satisfied now that these men have
a combination nnd have been working to
gether for some time.

Wllcox & Draper , the shoe dealers , began
the celebration of the Fourth of July In
Omaha last evening by giving nway 1,000
Ininrhes of llrecrackers. One bunch In every
twenty-five contained a ticket entitling the
bearer to a pair of fine shoes , which meant
that forty pairs of shoes were also to go for
nothing. The packages were thrown from
the roof of the store Into the street below.
The announcement drew enough young men
and boys to pack the street for half a block ,
and all windows near by were full of faces ,
while men , women and children crowded the
sidewalks. The lively scrambling following
every throw proved an Interesting entertain
ment for moro than half an hour , and as thn
bunches grew numerous below there were
soon olenty of small fireworks on the pave
ment. Some of those who pres ° ntod their
tickets far shoes last evening were : Mr.

Funeral services over the remains of Mrs.
Sarah Duinont , who died at St. Joseph. Mo. ,
last Saturday , were held at ths lleth-Kden
Itaptist church Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Duinont was born In Providence , U. L.
April 10 , ISIS. She was married to Ulchard
Dutnont In New York City May 22. 1S42.
and was the mother of six children , four of
whom , Mrs. George U. Lee of Island Station ,
Colo. , Thomas U. Duinont of St. Joseph. Mo. ,
Mrs. J. L. Coflln of Oskaloosa , la. , and John
It. Duinont of this city , survive her. With
her husband she moved to Omaha In 1SS7 ,
and since his death , In 1S90 , had resided
with her son.
She had been a faithful and consistent
member of the Ilaptlst church for morethnu
sixty years ; her tlrat church relation being
with the Cannon Street Haptlst church of
New York City. She was one of the charter
members of the First Ilaptlst church of Os
kaloosa , la. , organized In 1S5G , and was actlvo
In the work there for moro than thirty years.
Since moving to Omaha she has been a
member of the lleth-Kden Ilaptlst church.
A faithful wife , a loving mother , a devout
and active Christian , performing conscien
tiously every duty , she had earned the reward
to which she had been called. Though
mourned by all who knew the graces , as uell
as the sterling qualities of her character ,
there Is consolation In knowing that her
rest has come after a completed life work.
"She was at times a great sufferer , physi
cally , but the end came without a Etrugglc
and apparently without pain.
