The most nuggcstlvo Incident of this more suggestive proceeding was. the testimony o Chief of Police Slgwart. The police hm made official reports concerning the numbei of disorderly resorts to the board ; among these was the Wright place. Mr. Stewart was asked to verify these ? reports under oath , but they were ruled out as Improper Your board claimed to have already dis missed them as against Wright , while find ing them sufficient to refuse the license to other resorts of exactly the same character which had made themselves ofleuslvo po Utlcnlly. Chief Slgwart then and there de clared under oath that Wright kept an or derly place of business. What the chief would consider a disorderly placeof busi ness was not divulged on this occasion. My third protest against Thomas Foley had , as already stated , been Indefinitely post poned because , as alleged , Folcy had not pild In his $1,000. It was finally set for hearing a weelTago Monday morning. When I appeared before the board at the proper hour , I was Informed that the board couli not talt9 up the. case until afternoon of the 83mo day. My failure 'to appear before the board In the afternoon , because of urgent business that required my presence eliowhare was followed by the summary dismissal ol ( ho , protest and the polite request that 1 submit further Information en gambling houses and lawless resorts at a future t'me. This action of your very honorable boarO was hailed with approval by your official organ ? which pointed me out as a scoundrel , who was trying to hold up gentlemen who were engaged In a respectable calling. The inference was. of course , that I had no proof whatever to sustain the complaints. Now It must have been known as nell to your chief of police , If not to your seven detectives , as It Is to myself , that Tom Folcy's place Is a gambling resart , where a great many victims have been plucked since your advent as police commissioners. In one Instance , on Sunday night , November 3 a party balling from western Nebraska , Is reputed as having lost { 020 before ho qujt tbo game. ,0n Monday , November 18 , a big game was played at the sama resort , at which an army offlcer , whoso name I will not divulge , lost $100. On Sunday ove-nlng , December 29 , Foloy's resort was the scene of a flght , which Is known to nearly every body among the sporting fraternity. This fact Is verified by an , allldavlt In my posses sion , of which the following Is a copy , omit ting only tbo author's name for prudential reasons. State of Nebraska , Douglni county , ss. * being first duly sworn deposes and says that ho Is u resident of Omaha , Ne braska ; that on Sunday evening , December , 29 , 1R95 , between the hours of 5 and C o'clock p. m. he was In Thomas Folcy's snloQM at 1412 Douglas street , Omaha , Ne braska , and there were pro unt Harry Hyiuls , William Carter , Charles Hosiers and Walter. Jlubbard , that all of said parties had been drliiklnc nnd were under tlio Influence of liquor ; tluit said Harry Ilynds had a rough and tumble fight with Thomas Fnlcy rt said tlmo and that raid Foley sold In toxicating liquors during the whole of said day , and has sold Intoxicating liquors on Bundays and after 12 o'clpck at night to Hunt's knowledge for bevcral years.

Other sworn affidavits , bearing out my protest , are In my pcswsnlon , but their pub lication Is deemed superfluous In vlow ot the ottltudo nsxumod by your board In cases much more flagrant.

It was not contradicted or rebutted It must have been known to the chief o : police and his detectives ns well as to your own members. But thla saloon Is running today , although , under the law , It was your duty to have revoked the license Instead of reissuing It. And you want more Information about law less re-sorts , do you ? Hero ts a list ot a few places where gambling Is carried on , accord ing to reporls that I have no reason to dis credit : Henry Dorter's , Douglas street Tom Foloy's , Douglas street. Donelly's , alloy north of Douglas , between Fifteenth and Sixteenth. All of those places are said to liavo guar anteed protection. Charlie Coleman's , Twelfth and Douglas streets. Wright's , Twelfth and Dodge. Saloon , corner Twelfth and Capitol avenue up-stalra Professional poker games , 1610 Chicago , also 205 North Sixteenth street , roar ol cigar store ; 1COO St. Mary's avenue ; Car ter's old place , up-stalrs. All these places and others are notorious enough to bo known to your police If thoj want to know anything which your boari docs not dopire to know. With this Information before you I trust that you will aee your way clear , either to redeeming your pledges of reform or to dropping all further pretense of reform. E. ROSEWATER. Omaha , January 15 , 1806. g SOUTH OMAHA NEWSg The topic of conversation nt the yards Is the discriminating freight rates on live stock to South Omaha nnd the terminal charge of $1.50 a car. January 1 the railroad com panies established a new system. Instead of charging so much per standard car , with 7 per cent added for thirty-four-foot cars and 10 per cent for thirty-six-foot cars , as has been done heretofore , each shipment Is weighed Mid the transportation 'charge bawd on the actual weight .of the commodity hauled. The railroad companies stated this arrangement would not advance1 the rates , l > ut figures contradict this statement. An Ad vance cf $1 to $10 per car can be shown from many stations In Nebraska , and this does not Include the terminal charge. It Is claimed that this chaigo Is not a new source of revenue for the stock yards company. The titock yards company has always paid $1 per car for switching nnd GO cents a car for un loading or loading live stock , but this ex pense up to tli a 1st of January was absorb3d by the railroads ; now It Is added to the expense bill and charged to the shipper. The exchange has appointed a committee to confer with the railroads and secure If possible a readjustment ot the rates. City Miss Chloe Drown Is'down with the grip.

( Special. ) The last chapter In one of the most remark able cases In the- annals of the state will bo enacted In the district court of this county at the present term , when Mrs. Thomaa D. Uurko will bo tried for perjury , the cato having been brought hero from Iowa county 01 a change of venue. Mrs. * Uurko Is tha woman who said she was the foster mother of tko lost Hay Elliott , and the perjury Is said to have been committed' during the habeas corpus proceedings In the courts of Irwa county , whereby Mrs. IJurke sought to gain pomssian of the 'child. Never before has n county been so stirred up as has Iowa county over these cases arising out of the disappearance of little Hay Elliott. The bitterness existing In Jones county for years over what was known as the "Jones county calf base" has bc n far exceeded In Iowa county , and the dis sensions which have sprung up have In fluenced school and church affairs and oven business matters and elections. People who have been friends for years became es tranged , and the bitterness was ea great that bloodshed wag narrowly averted on numerous occasions. Even now , after every thing has apparently assumed a normal con dition , when strangers go to the town of Marengo and make any Inquiries about the Hay Elliott cases the person Interrogated will look wild and make sure no ono of his townsmen Is * within hearing before ho will venture to say a' word , and then what ho tells will bo told In whispers. REVIEW OF THE CASE. That which brought 'rtbout this' condition of affairs Is well known to every lowan. One May day about three years ago Hay , the little son. of Mi\andMrs. George Elliott , poor but honest people of Marengo , disap peared. The town and surrounding country were searched , but the lad could not be found. It was supposed ho had been stolen by gypsies , and , although a big reward was offered for his recovery nnd return to his parents , not the slightest traca of him could bo found and had the earth opened up and swallowed him1 he could not have been more completely lost. A little over il year after'the boy's dis appearance , and whllp a camp meeting was In prcgroio ncsr AVaterlbo , an' elderly woman ono day came upon.the ground , apd going to the tent of a lady who lives at Waterloo , Introduced horpqlf and told her she had learned she desired to aclont a boy. She had a Ilttlo' fellow "With her , " "who she said was an orphan and who she would leave with her for 'a week , when she would again call , and If satisfactory she would make arrangements to give the boy to her. She did not return at the end of the week , and the lady with whom she had left the boy came to the conclusion she had found the loyt Hay Elliott. She maae her belief known and the people of Marengo were notified. The boy waa taken to Marengo , where ho was dcclarcl to bo the lost chold. Excite ment ran high. Mass meetings were held In the public square , bonfires were built , speeches made and prayers offered and word wont lo the outside world that the long lost boy bad been found. ANOTHER PHASE DEVELOPS. In a few days letters arrived from Ohio from Mr. nnd Mrs. Thomas D. Durke. They said that the boy waa their foster son ( nnd not Hay Elliott. They said the boy was ono wltorniMrs. Burke's mother had adopted from the Jluscatlno county poor farm and afterward given to them. That while on a. visit to Jier mother at Independence they had bad a < quarrel and the child was taken , from Mrs. Burke. Mrs.L Burke , suppling hop mother would scon forget and forgive' and return the boy to her , left former home In Ohio with no misgivings ; but Instead she had taken the child to Waterloo and gave him to the lady who had Imagined him to bo the lost Ray Elllctt , The people of Marenso could not believe tli033 stories and when Mr. Burke arrived at Marougo shortly to regain' possession of tho. boy he was arrested on a warrant charging hjin with abduction , bound over : o the grand Jury and thrown Into jail. Feeling ran high and threats of lynching Burke were mado. Then Mrs. Burke began habeas corpus proceedings ' to regain pos session of the boy. , Tne hearing of these cases was 'attended" by the most' Intense feeling , throats even balng made to lynch the counsel for the Burkes. The result was a partial victory for tnp'Elllotts. The court did not [ pass upon the Identity of the child , } Ut declared him to bb a ward of the court , and turned him over to tho'.Elliott family under the evidence , and ! for the further rea son Chat ho-bollevcd It would be > a bettor home for him than any that could bo fur nished by the Burkes , -whom he did not con- jlder Bultab'.o pscple to have custody of him. MRS. BUHKE'S CRIME. The present case-against Mrs. Burke grows ut of the bitterness engendered at this trial , ho charge against her' being' based' on al- egcd false statements made by her under oath In tbo legal fight for the boy. It Is leld , however , that the falsa statements nade by Mrs. Burke affected a trivial mat er In her own personal history only , and tad no real bearing on the case , and that here la a question as to'tho commission of icrjury In making them , when thd strict egal definition of that term Is carefully re- ; arded. Since the close of these-trials the ecllng in Marengo and Iowa county has sub- Ided , and the people-are "more1 nearly In heir right minds than they have been for ears. Buforo the case was transferred to his county a petition flgned by all the aunty officers , the members of { he Board of Supervisors and seventy of the leading busi ness men of Marengo was presented to Judge Wade , urging the dismissal of the case on the ground that It was very uncertain whether a conVlctldn could Tie secured ; that ho people of Iowa , county desired o be spared the expense of the rial , being content to lot the mat er go. Since the- case has been trans ferred to this county. County Attorney Jrlmni has received a petition signed by bout fifty of the leading women of Ma- engo , asking- , that the. case be dismissed n the ground that Mrs. Burke has already ad trouble enough ; that she has been more Inncd against than sinning ; that her family reds her , and that the law of Christ * Impels orglveneas of sins rather than , their punlsh- i&nt. MRS. BURKE AS A PRISONER. Since the Indictment of Mrs. Burke she as been out on ball , yet at the same time othlng less than a prisoner , her bondsmen equlrlng that he remain with a couple of rominent ladles of Marongo. This the lias ono , and has conducted herself In such a wnner as to win the respect and esteem of i.iny of those who formerly looked upon her s a creature to bo shunned and whose place was behind penitentiary walls. It Is be- cved that her trial In this county will re- ult In her acquittal , and that tbo Ray El- ott cases will bo at an end. Upon reliable Information It Is learned hat the lad about whom there has been BO much trouble- has not the homo that many eoplo have been led to believe , The Elliotts re very poor people ; Elliott has been a very lard drinker , if he Is not yet. Their homo s a most humble one , meagerly furnished , nd the boy Is allowed to play about the trects of Marengo , with dirty face , unkempt air , thinly clad and with practically no are whatever. The general , aspect of , tbs omo Is one of neglect and Indifference , The lilld bears not the slightest resemblance to ho Elliotts , and the teellng Is growing that o la not their tun. Under these clrdum- tancea It Is believed that the court will see t before long to take the boy from these eople and place him where ho will have bet ter care and attention.

From this he argued that Bolln , as principal In the office , wa the one upon whom the responsibility tor the shortage cught to have bcon placed. Uefplte this , however , lie slid thit Coulter had been thrown In jail ; while Bolln had been allowed his liberty. In answer to the proposlt'on that Coulter must have committed an ombcrzlemont when he signed checks and drew on them and did not make a record of Iho transaction , Attor ney Andrews claimed that Coulter , according to the testimony cf the defense , had put hl signature to the checks and had them cashed under Instructions from his chef. ! Assistant County Attorney Day also went Into detail In his argument , summing up the weight of the entire testimony which the state had Introduced. Ho held that the evi dence showed that Coulter had at least a knowledge that Bolln was embezzling money , and the presumption was that ho had a hand In It himself. Ho ridiculed the Idea that Coulter would have turned money over to Bolln undci tha tatter's Instruction without making some sort of entry on the books , If he was Innocent. At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Gordon stated that ho would take the case , undcr advisement and make known his de cision tcday at 2 o'clock. 1'AHT OF ATLANTA'S MIDWAY.

Hearing In TO- gard to the receivership of the Northern Pacltlo railway , which began > c3terday be fore Justice * Field , Harlan , Brewer nnd Brown , sitting In chambers , was continued today. Ex-Senator Spooner concluded his argument and was followed br Mr. I'ottlt , who la thd direct representative of the rail road company. Mr. Spooncr's argument today consisted principally of the citation of authorities favorable to the recognition of the Jurisdiction of the Milwaukee court. He said In conclusion that ho believed It would be In order for the supreme court to make a ruling In equity which would prevent such a complication In the future as had arisen In this case. Mr. Peftlt opposed the position of Messrs. Turner and Spooner. lie denied the asser tion that the receivers were appointed In the midst of a panic , declaring that a month's time was consumed In deciding whether lo oliply lo the courts sitting In Milwaukee or n these of Chicago and St. Paul. Ho said the .recognition of the Milwaukee receiver ship In the beginning was duo to the fact that the parties who had applied for their appointment were In possession of the read , and of couno turned all the property over o them. Mr. Pettli's argument was for the recog nition of the Jurisdiction of tho-clrcult court for the Washington district. Ho said that : ils choice was controlled | n the matter by the fact that the railroad company had more property In that Jurisdiction than In any other. Mr. Choate , who appeared for the Adams committee , representing the bondholder ? de fended the Jurisdiction of the Milwaukee court. The Justices asked the several attorneys : o prepare such orders as they might wish , o have promulgated , to be submitted to them at a future meeting which the Justices would hold for consultation.

The California Hallway commission won a point today In ; ho Injunction suit now pending In the United State ? , drcult court , by which the Southern Paclflo company reeks to restrain the commission from reducing the freight atcs of the railroad. Judge McKcnna ruled : oday that dcposlt'ons and evidence taken jefcre the congressional commission In 1880- 1887 , when various employes of the Southern Pacific testified to the railroad's cost and maintenance , may be admitted In the present irocccdlng. The depos'tions were objected to , jecauso the officials of the company made' them In theli' private capacity as citizens , and not as offlcera of the company. The court overruled this objection , however , holding .hat the Inquiry of the congross'onal com mission tqok on sufficient official character to entitle It to bo received as evidence In the jrewnt action. The court ruled , however , .hat while the' depcs'tlona could bo admitted ho report of the congressional commission and the president's comments thereon In his nessago to congress are barred , as being merely conclusions of thoes by whom they were prepared , based on testimony taken. The decision opens the door for a great mass of printed matter. The reading of the depositions will occupy many days.
