Minn Uiiriu-M TnlkN of the I'liniH Under Co n nl ilc rail on. Miss L. Jennie Barnes of Grlnnell , la. , Is In the city for the purpos'si of obtaining In formation regarding the manner In which homes for girls and women In this state and city are run. She was yesterday a visitor of Police Matron Cummlngs. From statements made by Miss Barnes there is a movement on foot at the present time among the women nf Iowa , which will probably end In the erection of a home- far homeless girls and women In the state. Miss Barueii said that there were probably 8,000 girls and women In Iowa who had no means of self-support , and that they drifted from place to place , falling from bad to worse , until they would , In all probability , at least In the majority of cases , become bad women. There la but ono Institution in the state for > the carp of these- women , and that Is a city JioTiiu in Sioux City , nbera fifty-four women were cared for last year. This condltlcit ot things has appealed to the women of Iowa and steps ant about to be taken for the formation of what will be known aa the Ladles' Homo association , It it propcsL-J to build a homo at some place yet undecided upon , where girls and women of all agei can be received. Tliey will be taught various practical arts and as soon un they ere fitted to support themselves will be ali lowed to leave. The Initltutlon Is expected to be lelf-iuportlng within a short time after Iti erection , as all of the lumates will be culled upon to work. A meeting of the women who are In favcr of the scheme will bo held la Dei Molncn on next Thunday nd to them Mlsa Dames will report the result of her Invoctlsatlbiiv 111 thin and other ttatcn.

"I bellevo that the proposed rallrcad through the North Platte volley will be built and that Omaha will reap more benefit ftom Its construction than Is generally conceded - ceded , " said Frank C. Condon to a Bee representative yesterday. Mr. Condon Is oneof the three men from Omaha who were recently appointed members of the commit tee on preliminary work connected with the projected enterprise , the other members being Messis. Carter and Clarkson. Mr. Condon said the articles of incorpora tion had Jui't been prepared and would prob ably be executed afNoryi Platte yesterday. "New Ydrk * capitalists'are greatly Inter ested In the rchemo- , and New York money will -supply the 'rails and equip 1ho"'road after the local authorities have secured the right of way and' have done' the necessary grading. The cost of this preliminary work , " said Mr. Condon , "will be between $2,000 and $3,000. I think that It Is not unreason able to think that a considerable portion of this amount should come from Omaha. Of course , I know times are exceedingly dull hero and that money Is scarce , but I am SITO that Omaha men will got back , many fold , all that they put In to help this road start. The New Yorkers say , 'All we ask you to do Is to come to us with something tangible , and then we'll do the rest. ' Now the farmers out in the North Platte valley have the enthusiasm and will give the right of way , but they haven't a cent to help along the survey. " James M. Kerr , representing the Now York capitalists , has been In consultation with the people along the proposed routd , and finds them willing to do all la their power to aid the project. A meeting will bo held at Bay ard on Monday to arouse Interest In the mat ter , and It is likely that this will be. . fol lowed by other meetings all along the route. Mr. Condon is particularly enthusiastic about the agricultural possibilities ot the valley , where there arti over 100 miles of fertile land simply awaiting development. Ho declares that within two or three years the nverago crop and stock produced In this territory for flvei years would be unexcelled by the average of that produced during the same period In any other part ot the state. When asked as to the probability ot the absorption of the road by the Union Pacific , or the Elkhorn , Mr. Condon said that the road would bo built as an Independent line. What might be done with It afterward , was a matter for later consideration. That had not even been discussed as yet , although he thought It probable that theUna In ques tion might bo taken In by either the Elkhorn - horn or the Union Pacific after It had been completed. HEATH OP AN OLD POLITICIAN. AVim Prominent In the Anti-Slavery CoiillletH. LANCASTER , Pa. , Jan. 18. James M. Hopkins , an old-time Ironmaster and poli tician , who was the last man living who figured conspicuously in the famous Chris tiana riots , died at his homo at Conowlngo , this county , aged 85 years. In 18GS he ran for congressman on the democratic ticket against Thaddeits Stevenn and gave the great commoner the hardest fight In the latter's congressional career. The first -conflict ( and bloodshed under the fugitive slave law passed by cngreso In 1E51 occurred at Christiana , resulting In the death of a Maryland slave owner named 13Jwar.il Qorusch , and the wounding of a number of his party. Caslner Hanway , a Quaker , and thirty-raven others who asslrted the slaves were arrested for tre-jsSon , Hanway alone wus tried and ac quitted. Mr. Hopkins was ono of the Jury and It is believed was the last survivor of those who were connected with either the riot or the trial. NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RATES. G. A. R.

Commissioner Williams Introduced n resolution at the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners yes tcrday calling a convention of al the road supervisors of Douglas county and the county commissioners , to be hold a the court house on February 5 at 10 o'clocl a. in , , for the purpose of considering the best methods of Improving and keeping In repair the roads of the county. The cal also Included an Invitation to the bicycle clubs of Douglas county to send three dele gates each to give their views and make such suggestions as their experience wouli warrant. The resolution was unanimously adopted and tlio county clerk Instructed to send Invitations to the parties named In th resolution. Ex-Sheriff Drcxel sent a communication to the board reciting the fact that the demand of his office had made It necessary for him to employ a stenographer during nineteen months , and on account of the many crlmlna trials , extra deputies during the latter part o his term , making on expense of $1,082 eve the amount authorized by the board. H stated that uncollcctcd fees amounting t $4DCO had been earned during 1895 , a large I > irt of which wag In the hands of the late clerk of the district court ; ho also statc < that his office had earned fees during 189 amounting la about $3,000 over the ainoun allowed htm .for offlco expenses and deputies making a total for the two years of $7,56i over the amount allowed for expenses. H requested the board to allow him the extra amount of $1OS2 and requested that his ac counts bs checked up as soon as possible that he might settle with the county. Stenborg objected to allowing the amoun csked , siylng that the board had always al lowed all reasonable requests and that nn lequort iMd been made by the sheriff for th assistance he now claimed was necessary Ho referred to the fact that the county ha < had considerable difficulty In closing account with ox-offlcnla ! and thought It was abou time the criminal law was Invoked. The communication from the cx-sherlff was re ftrred to a committee. WILL CHANGE COURT ROOMS. The committee on court house and Jail re ported on the proposition submitted by the committee of the city council on public prop erty and buildings and the petltlin of the E-even Judges of the district bench on the same matter. The report was to the cffec trat the committee had made a personal in vustlgatton of the rooms In The Bcb building and the rooms offered by the city council li the city hall. The Bee Building company had made an offer to the committee , s > the rf-port read , proposing to move court room No. C Into a room of the same size as No. ' and providing a private rtom In connection In the opinion of the committee , this would give much better accommodations than the rooms offered In the cjty hall , as there wa only one private room , in connection , will these rooms and it would bo Impossible fo two Judges to use one room. The slzo of the two rooms In The Bee building was equal to , If not greater , thai that of those In the city hall am both rooms were lighted' by north and eas windows , whereas one of the rooms in tie city hall was lighted only , from the west anc would bo very- warm ' hx the summer Unto and Inconvenient ; In the aftprnoon at all sea sons. The co.mmlttee.furttier stated thai ,1 could so no reason for mating a changea thin time , as the rooms in The Bee building were leased for a year longer and the rr'n for those rooms' would have to be paid whether the rooms were occupied or not. I wag also stated that the committee could see no reason why the taxpayers should be pu to the expense at this time of fitting up roomo In the city hall which were no bette than the rooms In The Bee building. In con elusion , the committee recommended that , , ln the Interest of economy , steps be taken to ac cept the proposition of the city upon the ex plrotlon of the 'pres-ent ' lease' with The Be'e Building company. The report was signed by Messrs. Hoetor and Klerstead. Stenberg said he could see no reason for great haste In leaving the room's In The Bee building , but he thought the proposition of the city should be accepted now , as he was afraid the county would not have the same opportunity a year hence. Williams said ho thought It would bo un wise to throw away an opportunity that might not bo offered again , and moved to recommit the report for revision In that par ticular. Klerstead and Hector concurred In this view , and the report was recommitted. Kler- stead remarked that prompt action had been taken In the matter , In accordance with the expressed wish of the Judges. RUNNING WITHOUT. LICENSE. Klerstead made a verbal report as chair man of the Judiciary committee , to * the effccl that C. A. JenMn , George Thomasen ant Thomas J. Anderson were running their re spective saloons openly , and without having paid the license fee or made application for a license. The sheriff was directed to notify the parties at once that they must pay their license fee or close their saloons. B. F. Ford was appointed Justice of the peace of Douglas precinct , in accordance with a , lengthy petition presented to the boaid. The contract for filling prescriptions for the outdoor poor was awarded to Otto Selfert on his bid .of. li cents for each prescription. One bid was all that was received , but as this was 1 cent lower than the prlcti.pald last year , It was thought best to award the contract. All bids for furnishing Ice to the court house and Jail were rejected and the clsrk ordered to rcadvertlse. The contract for furnishing Ice to the poor farm was awarded to the Artesian Ice company at 90 cents per ton f. o. b. cars nt the poor farm ; A. Thompson was awarded the contract for sup plying meat to the poor farm ; the contract for furnishing groceries was awarded to the George F. Munro company , Klerstead calling attention to the fact that the contract con tained a clauEo wherein the county reserved the right to buy In open market at any time. * _ GK13ST IinOUGllT DOWN DHAGOU.V , Klllc-il Him Kill I of Illril Shot nt the Hour 'of tliu Hen Cooii.

For gomo time past Gecst has been loslne chick ens from his coop , and at last he fixed up a burglar alarm , so that when the coop door was opened a gong In his bedroom would strike. Yesterday the alarm went off and Geest rushed ont with a shot gun leaded with bird shot. He saw a man mov ing nway in the darkness and ho ordered lilm to halt. As the man kept on going , Geest discharged the gun. The- first shot mlcsed , but the second took effect and the charge went Into Dragoun's body.

This Is the largest number of penitentiary conviction ever m-ido at any single term of the Unltei States court In Nebraska. The civil docko was also a voluminous one , and has besn In duatrlously prosecuted from the opening day and of course a largo number of cases wer cleared up and passed upon. Yesterday before Judge Dundy the oas of J. J. Truman , the ex-postmaster at Butte was before the ciurt. It was In a suit agalnt Tiuman's bondsmen , and after listening t the arguments , the judgment was vacated. A now trial was granted In the ciso of Ar thur Shlverlck against the Gunning company of Chicago , a $25,000 damage suit for ma llclous prosecution , which grew out of th obliteration by Shlvcrlck of n sign painted on the dead wall of his building by th Gunning company. This sign was the picture turo of a huge bull and was an adverllsemen of a well known tobacco corporation. The plaintiff dd ! not consider the sign a fit cxh bltlon for n respectable and prominent bus ! ness house to countenance , and accordingly he had It obliterated. For this the Gunning had him arrested and In turn Slilverlck filed a suit for damages , charging malicious prose cutlon , The case was heard at the lis term and resulted In favor of the defendants A motion for a new trial was made and argued recently. On the trial a certain telegram to Shlvcr.'ck was not allowed In evidence. Six months previous the .Western Union Telegraph company had made nn orde that all telegrams received and sent shouli be destroyed and the company now has a rule that after holding them for alx month all telegrams must bo destroyed , and througl this rule the plaintiff was unable to produc this telegram. Oral testimony In regard to the message was also shut out by the court Another point passed upon was that an at torney of a corporation could not bind the corporation In any act of his , unless the specific act was specially authorized by the corporation or subsequently ratified by them J. A. Powers , Shtvcrlck's attorney , made lit argument on these- points and yesterday his motion was sustained and a new trla ordered. In Judge Shlras" chamber there was a hustle all the morning in preparation for th close In the afternoon. Decrees of foreclosure wcro signed In the cases of John L. Pierc against Dover Sholes for $2,781.64 ; a second lien In favor of H. F. Cady on the sun property for $1,507 , and a third in favor o the Omaha Loan and Trust company's Sav Ings bank for $2,173 ; also an order of pay ment. In favor of the Farmers' Loan and Trust company against the American Wato Works company for supplies and material furnished. In addition to these cases , the court heard a lot of motions and cleared up a lot of minor miscellaneous rubbish. In Judge Dundy's room , thei Jury was dls charged and all criminal cases , continued over to the May term. COUIIT KEJECTIilJ' ' HIS . STOUY Evidence AVnwAKnliiHt AVolvertoi mill He Went to Jiill.

Peterson gives a rather fishy story , In the opinion of the- police , as to how ho came into the possession ot the property. He said that he was once upon , a time the owner of a horse. A few days ago ho met a man who became struck with the good qualities of the animal and offered Pe-tcrson the twenty-four chickens and $5.

I still believe you were In the wrong In helping to get up a mongrel city and county ticket before over the republicans had nmdo their nominations ; but I l.nvo no doubt what ever but that you wcro sincere In advocating reform In our city lull and court hourc. With a good many others , I thought your charges against the corporations and boodle combine wcro campaign lies , fabricated to help 'out the citizens' ticket. I have been forced to clungo my mind since election. I feel sure now that you have not exaggerated In the least. You raid all along that the shortage In the city treasury would bo nt least $60,000. It now turns out to bo over $115,000 , and worse may yet come. And yet Ilolln , the chief em bezzler , was allowed to run at , largo until a week ago. The coiiruo of the Board of Health In keeping Meat Inspector Israel Frank upon the pay roll after exposure of his rascality Is only another evidence of the rottenness and shameless disregard of decency , WHEN IT SUITS THEIU PURPOSE. Right hero let mo say that you do the A. P. A.'s an Injustice when ycu charge them with all this crooked work and rascal ity. I feel sure that a majority In the order are as much opposed to boodlers and frauds aa you are. Unfortunately they have lost sight of the true objects for which they nro organized , and have allowed themselves to play Into the hands of cunning and con scienceless corporation spoilsmen , who nro republicans with republicans , democrats with democrats , populists with poptillet. A. P. A.'s with A. P. A.'s and sympathizers with Romans when It suits their purpose. It was given out after election that the A. P. A.'s had won a great victory In Omaha and the Romans had received a black eye. The truth Is that It was a victory of the allied corporations the street railway , water , gas , electric light , telephone and telegraph companies , and especially of the man , Hol- drege , whom you call the Burlington czar. It was the most cunning game of du plicity over played In Omaha and Douglas county politics. The credulous Protestants were made to believe It was a life and death struggle between them and the Romanists. The Influential Catholic capitalists , who have large corporation Interests , were promised If they would keep their hands off and secretly help to elect Broatch , no A. P. A. would bo appointed by the administration to any of the more Important offices. The men ap pointed by Mayor Broatch , so far , confirm this. Another straw why Is It that the Burlington czar phoiild find It necesmry to dictate to Russell and Churchill for appoint ment only the men outildo of the A. P. A , order ? Captain Palmer gave It out cold last winter at Lincoln , In the legislative lobby , that not n single A. P. A , should bo placid upon the fire and police commission of Omaha , The appointments of Broatch , Foster , Vandcrvoort and Palmer furnish striking evidence that our brethren wcro only used last fall as cat's- paws for the corporation combine , REPUDIATES THE WORK. I never held an offlco , and have never sought office. I am dyed-ln-the-wool re publican , who believes In the principles of the party , rather than the division of spoils of office , and my conception of Its highest duty Is that It should give to the > people good government. Therefore , with the thou sands of other republicans , I deplore the- condition Into which the party has drifted In this city and county , as a hewer of wood and drawer of water for greedy and grasping monopolies , who have acquired control of our highest office by doublo-dc-illng and duping the honest masses of the party. I believe I volco the psntlmont of the class to which I belong when I publicly announce my de termination to repudiate the work of last fall and to make an effort to purge the party of the unclean and selfish elements that con taminate It , niw would soon destroy It. With this end In view , I hope all other republicans who are In accord with these views will not be backward In making their sentiments known and felt. . JARV1S M.

Combs , president of the Manufacturers' Trust company of this city , has sent the fol lowing letter to Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle : "Wo are subscribers to the popular loan and have accumulated gold to bo used In payment for the same. We are willing to deposit this gold In the treasury for the government and receive a receipt therefor specifying that In caie none of the bonds bo awarded us that the gold shall returned out of the proceeds of that which Is received from the successful bidders. We think that many of the other banking Institutions will bo willing to do the same thing and In that way without loss to themselves , assist the treasury In the Interim In maintaining Its cold reserve. " Mr. Coombs says people nil over the coun try are accmmilatlnc gold with which to buy the new Issue of bonds. This IB being drawn from the treasury and the result maybe bo that the reserve will be reduced to the danger point. "We have no doubt , " he said , "that other banking Institutions will bo willing as wo ate to give- the government the use of tholr accumulated gold until February G.
