Ho rec ommends that the attention of the county at torney bo called to tlio flagrant violation of law by the president , J. 0. Williams. The matter of appointing a receiver will bo heard by Judge Htull Monday afternoon. Williams will have a preliminary hojrlng tomorrow morning on a charge of embezzle ment. HI.UB Sl'IlINQS , Neb. . Jan. 21. ( Special. ) Sufferers by the recent bank failure here are asking tlio very pertinent question as to how thu state bank examiner In charge here has discovered such n mass of deficits and corruption , whllo other examiners , who have been hero periodically for years have certi fied the Institution all right ; $37,000 of loans and discounts , which the examiner In charge finds available for only $7,000 or $8,000 , would seem to show a discrepancy that any cursory examination would detect. It Is now utatcd here that the showing given out Is far from being correct ; that there are good notes belonging to and under the control of the hank to the nmoiint of $15.000 to $18,000 ; that the debts do not exceed 523,000 , and that there Is still a good chance to reorganize. Efforts are bolng made to that end , with some prospects of success. The preliminary examination of J. C. Wil liams la fixed for tomorrow , and the develop , ments there will be watched with a great deal of Interest. Mr. Williams has the sym pathies of this community to a largo extent , as It Is not generally believed that he has" actually stolen bank funds , but that under the pressure of his efforts to keep the bank afloat , he has drifted Into iUesttonable ] trans actions. Ho has been the practical owner and manager , of this haul ; for nearly twenty years ; has been In hard lines more than 0:100. : but has managed to pull through , nn-l but for the difficulty about the county depos its , would probably have done so this time. A fight Is being waged over th ? receiver- chip , O H. Ulshop , who was selected by the local depositors , having withdrawn , because Lawyer Hazlet pronounced him Ineligible on account of a small deposit ho has In the bank. The First National bank of Wymore is striving hard to get the position for Sim- uel Illngler , an employe of theirs. Ex-County Judge Bonnie has filed lijs application In a petition on account of one of the depositors praying for a receiver. Very few of the local depositors want the Wymore man , although several have been deluded Into signing his petition. Of course. If reorganization Is pos sible , everybody here Is anxious for It. as all probability of realizing on deposits depends on It. ANliIuiiilni.s \oton. ASHLAND , Neb. , Jan. 24.

One nf Ilrntlttnoil'N Chinese Arlnto- crnlK Hurled Ilh Mi > rrr I'litup. DBADWOOD , S. D. , J n. 21. ( Special. ) With all the pomp and splendor of barbaric rites. LI Haw , ono of the 400 of Deadwood's Chinese colony , was consigned to mother earth this afternoon. For months LI Haw , who , by the way , was high In the upper cir cles of Chinese Masonry , has been preparing to furnish a corpse for the occasion , and when thp time cnmo and Me part of the ar rangement had been unwillingly fulfilled , the detail for giving him a fitting "send-off" were Indeed elaborate. Several fat pigs had been roasted whole , Innumerable ducks and Ko'stf baked to a turn and delicious and savory dlthcs of suspicious character had been prepared with a lavish hand , In an ticipation of the feast of death. The funeral lias been extensively advertised In th locll nwtpaperfl , even before the breath of life hid left the deceased's body , and all of Chi natown , assisted by the greater portion of the whlto pspulall ji , joined In making It a holiday. The eromonloj began at the ap pointed hour , the coming of the white robed priests of Joss and "Mawnlc dignitaries" Into the rteocnco of the dead , being heralded by a fusillade of firecrackers nnd the fumes of burning joss sticks. After a short season of Incantation , the body , suitably gowned In Itii robes of wood , was conveyed to a hcarrj In waiting , and the funeral procession , he-lded by a brass band , took up Ita march to the temporary resting place of LI , where It will Ho until such time an nature and Its laws have stripped the bones of thb celestial of the covering of flesh , when the said hones \\lll be unearthed and taken for Interment to the holy lands of the Flowery Kingdom. The style of the procession was all that even a live Chinaman could have desired , Iteams of prayer paper fluttered through the air , the Jess sticks.- burned merrily , wj.ille the spluttering noise of the firecracker * rounded oft and made pleasant to the ears of nu merous mourners a scene of unusual splen dor. Then there were loads of cooked pro visions , gallons of good things to drink and numerous plies of dainties spread In a tempting nrtay , so what more could the ccrpsa want ? IJvcn the evil spirits , who are supposed to hang around a funeral pro cession for a chanc ? at ho corpse , should have boon satisfied. Ilut Just then the Iruid struck up a few bars of the dead march In "Saul. " Something was amiss ! that could be seen at a glance. There was a running to and fro of the masters ofthe ceremonies , a shrill Jabbering In high Chinese voices , and the inarch camu to a sudden halt. The lead ers were seen In earnest conversation with the muslclpns ; they did not like the slow strains of the dead march ; Its mournful cadences fell not upon their cars with pleasure ; tbey wanted something more lively. The musicians agreed ; and when the procession again started the catchers on the sidewalks were startled by the stirring strains , of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home , " followed In quick succession by such mmirnful melodies as "My Pearl Is a Bowery Girl , " "Sidewalks of New York" and othery of a like character. Every Chinese mourner pronounced the mu sic a success and all agrecil that It contrib uted greatly to the pleasure of the -occasion. At the grave another series of ceremonies was gone through with , the pigs and other edibles placed around the grave In proud array and the multitude adjourned to wait for another funeral. JOUIINAMSM I.V 1VAH TIMES. Southern I'lipprn Hxpi-rleiioiMl DlllU-iiltlfH in ( icttliiK Nt-viN 111 ' < ! Os , Of all the reminiscent echoes from the confederacy , there are few In the Journal istic line. Once In a while , says the Globa- Democrat , somebody runs across a Vlcksburg newspaper printed on wall paper during the siege , a Memphis Avalanche or a lllchmond Whig , but Journalism in the south during the civil war was of minor Importance. Pressmen , editors and reporters .were needed "at the front , " and a courier could bring ths news of battle sooner than a crippled printing office could set the- type and tell the direful news. There were newspapers , of course , with their lists of. killed , wounded and mlis- Ing , and their more or less authentic ac counts of victories and skirmishes , but those that could be depended upon for news were scarce and literary publications had but few days and were full cf sorrows. Of these latter , which eked out a precari ous ex'stence and struggled through thr.c or four volumes , was the Southern Illus trated News , an eight-page publication , four columns to the page , published In Ktchmond by Messrs. Ayera nnd Wads , who wcro at once editors and proprietors , and probably , If the truth were known , printers and presh- men , reporters and general "hustlers. " Two copies cf this weekly , yellow with age and poor Ink , have drifted Into the writer's pos session ; they are valuable souven'rs now of the "late unpleasantness. " but In a very few days they will bo more valuable curios of a period that has qulto passd Into history. The editorial pag3 of one bsars the date of April 23 , 1864 , and Is followed by an an nouncement cf "terms" that. In the days of penny papers , rather takes away one's jreath. It reads : "Subscriptions , $20 per an num ; $10 for six months ( no subscription taken for a less time ) . The trade supplied at 525 pop 100. No county or Individual money taken. " It Is unnec3S3ary to state that the Southern Illustrated Newn In 1SG4 paid no dividends ) erceptlblo to the outer senses. There is only one "ad" to be discovered In the entire edition of April 23 , and five in the cuccead- Ing Issue. There Is no reason to suppose that "adb" were any more plentiful during tha rezt of the year than In these two copier , 3 the clouds gathered thickly with the opening of the summer month ? , and business JlciniB more paralyzed as Johnston's weaker forca skillfully retreated bsfore Sherman's nmterly movements ; as Hood made his fatal mistake , and Sherman marched victo riously to the sea , with Atlanta In ashes bc- lilnd him.

ALL niCrC.MlS U.TIU2 UAII.UOADS. Will HP Movoil Arp AiljiiMtnl. CHICAGO , Jan. 24. Commander Walker nnd the executive committee of the Grand Army of the Republic met today to consider the attitude of the , roads In the Western 1'asfetigcr association In refusing to grant thirty day limits on tickets to the annual encampment at St , Paul. It was definitely decided that If the rends refuse the exten sion the encampment will not be held at St. Paul , but before selecting another city It was decided to make another effort to gain the deslicd concession. An appeal was made to Clnlrman Caldwell of the Western IMssengcr association to call a special meet ing for tha purpose of reconsidering the matter. The chairman promptly cent out a circular to the roads and will call the meet ing If three or more roads desire that he should do so. Under the association agree ment ho cannot call a meeting unices re quested by at. least three roads. If the imct- Ing Is not called , the executive committee will move the encampment. In all probability , to Buffalo. The railroads have been requested by a com- inlttco of business man from St. Paul to reconsider their decision not to extend the time limit on tbo tickets. There Is , how ever , a strong opposition among many of the roada to meeting the low rate made by the See line for the encampment. The roads say they were aware of the Intention of thfr See line to put In a rate of 1 cent per mile when they made tbo rate they now have , and on this business the competition of the See line will not cut a great figure with them. The chief objection , however , remains as before , tbo roads are afraid of demoraliza tion that may result if they grant the ex tended time limit asked by Commander Walker. INDIANAPOMS , Jan. 24. Commander Walker of the Grand Army of the Republic arrived homo last night from Chicago , whore lit waH In consultation with the St. Paul delegation of citizens.

The Tribune says : Complete dismemberment of the great Santa Fo railway system Is likely to be the result of the recent reorganization of the main Hues from Chicago to Albuquerque , N. M. Loss than a year ago the Colorado Midland was dropped and placed In charge of a receiver designated by the bondholders ot the Mid land. A month ago It was decided to give up the Atlantic & Pacific to Its first tnort- gaga bondholders and C. W. Smith was ap pointed receiver. It Is now learned that It Is the Intention of the new Santa Fe management to also relinquish control of the St. Louis & San Francisco. The Amerlcjn bondholders , It Is understood , were. In favor of retaining these properties and reorganizing them as originally contemplated by the joint reorganization committee. But Messrs. Fleming and Luden , who represent the Eng lish and Dutch bondholders , who hold throe- fourths Interest In the property , are said to bo determined to get rid of the auxiliary lines. They have conceived the Idea that these lines are a burden on the main line recently organized and think better results can bs achieved by making traffic agree ments with these roads. J. 1C.

During the past year the road hid paid all of Its expenses and Interest on a consider able class of Its Indebtedness. Tic ! net earn ings In 1893 exceeded those of 1894 by several hundred thousand dollars , The prospects nro bright , for a reorganization of the system , Should this be accomplished the track be tween Fort Collins nnd Cheyenne would ot once bo laid. The grading on this route has been done , the line being that of the old Colorado Central , on which the rails Were taken up a number of years ago , when the Union Pacific obtalne-d control of the Denver Pacific. With this link completed , the Gulf would have direct communication from cen tral Wyoming to central Texas , and direct traffic arrangements to the Gulf of Mexico. The Cheyenne & Northern branch of the Gulf system Is now attracting considerable attention. Arrangements are being made to commence shipment ) ; of Iron ore from the Hartvlllo mines , which are about eleven miles distant from the line of the read , to the Pueblo smelters , whore a thorough test of the value of the product will bo made. The result of these tests will determine whether n spur will IMS built to the mines at once. Mr. TrumbuU'a errand In Cheyenne was to arrange for moro liberal treatment to Its through cattle shippers from the state au- thorltlca In the matter of Inspection regula tions.

VKNKKUUI.A'S MIU3AT UAIMIOAD. TriivolliiR Twenty-Four IHIfM to Ilrucli n I'oliit Six MllcN Away Ono of the moat remarkable railroads In the world runs from Caracas , the capital of Venezuela , to. U. port , La Guayra. As the bird flics , tntxv towna are only about six miles apart , ijriu'lbe railroad that Joins them Is nearly twWtyifour miles long. Caracas Is In a deep valley , but It Is two-thirds of a mlle higher thanLa Guayra , and the moun tains betweetheui are nearly 9,000 feet high. .4 + * So the railroad train , that never exceeds flva or six small and very light cars , winds along the precipitous flanks ot the moun tain : , puffs up uno elde of a valley and down the other , dirts through short tunnels , and keeps up Us very sinuous way until finally the glorious valley ot the capital city bursts Into view.Tli n steam Is shut off , the brakes are apnllfJ , and slowly the train slips down the liroaru face , ot the mountains to Its nation Withe , city. The most-eaariBlng and exhilarating views are revealedatte\ery stage of the Journey , says the Now York Sun ; hut this short trip In not one of the safest In the world. Wo have not heard that naturu has ever bom barded a train , wltlj .racks from above , but this Is a ' 1onrtngency : that might happen. Sometimes during violent storms recks are detached from the mass that towers above the roadbed , and go thumping down upon tha track. During tbo rainy Benson trafilc has sometimes been Interrupted for more than a week at a time by the damage done In this way to the track. It ls a great prob lem how to obviate this eourco of danger , and no solution has yet been found. If Ehgland were to mo.ko war on Vene zuela , a few hundred natives , with crowbars for loosing rocks , perched high above the track , could make It very tough traveling for tha enemy to reach the capital by the railroad , This great work of railroad engineering does honor to the energy and Initiative taleut of ex-I're lclent Guzman Dlanco , who conceived the project and carried It through to wuccsj * .

A sheriff's Jury , presided over by Sheriff Tamsen. heard tes timony today In the action of David Gideon to recover $50,000 damages from Phillip J. Dwyer , president of the Coney Island Jockey club , for alleged slander. When the action was called for trial Gideon recovered the judgment by default , nnd the proceedings were to assess the amount of damages. The remarks alleged to have been uttered by Dwyer were as follows : "You are no sports man. You had to leave Nashville on ac count of a turf fraud you committed there. President Clarke of the Louisville club wanted to rule you oft for your crooked practices there and warned you off the turf , und you had to leave the town. " The trouble grew out of the charges made by Gideon that Banquet's rider had hit Ramapo over the head with his whip. After the race Gideon said that he was In the open stand In front of the club house and thati there were seventy-live persons present when Dwyer insulted him. Thp Jurv found for Gideon in the sum of $15,000. lie said subsequently that he would devote every penny of the sum to chnrlty , Mr. Dwyer will , however , appeal the case.

THp In ( Clinnpp In tliln Onlnry for Women Who Would Woo. Thus far In the world's history marriage has been one of the Inevitable concomitants of human existence. Considered from purely secular standpoint It bids fair to con tinue Its caresr for cycles to come. What ever may bs the Idiosyncrasies of a few wo men and moro men , who did or didn't , the great majority accept the law of marriage as necessary. Eighteen hundred nnd ninety-six la the ral lying time of the century for splnstcra , says the New York Herald. Immemorial use ac cords to woman In leap year the right to usurp man's privileges and woo her a blushIng - Ing mate. For the year ono motto would be. "Woman proposes , man disposes. " Hitherto In the nnnala ot our century the leap year records show no extraordinary re sults from the spinsters' efforts , Eighteen hundred and ninety-six will , however , more than compensate for past failures. Spinsters will array themselves for n supreme endeavor. In the ordinary leap year the woman hard ly moves Into the work with all her powers concentrated. There Is the lurking suspicion ot another leap year to come If this be un successful , and the secret expectation that In the Intervening time some man may woo her. In view of these things she prosecutes her undertaking without the desperation born of lack of hope In the future. In other words , she Is unmanned , AVc have changed nil that for the leap year 1806 or , rathci , the calendar makers changed It for us centuries ago. The year 189G Is not to be an ordinary leap year. In it spinsters must lead a forlorn hope. They must mass their forces for ono great final aesaut | upon the citadel of manctillno Indif ference to their wlnsomcness. Blandishments , strategy aye , force , oven must bo employed If need be for the gaining of success , the gaining of a man. The reason of the vast importance of the year to spinsters Is found In the fact that It has no successor until inoi. When the bells ring In the year 1S97 their clamors will toll the Inability of woman to propose for seven years. In other words , the year 1900 will not be a leap year. There will be seven years without any grant ot special privi lege to the fair sex. Bachelors who love their liberty must beware , for never before In their history were the signs of capture so alarming. The new woman has plans for the new year , looking toward a man a new man or an "old man. " Not only will the now women them selves present a dauntless phalanx of Amazonian woosrs , cui uio emoomoning ci- fect of their example on their less assertIve - Ivo sisters will be such that any bachelor had best beware the shyest maid , or ho may loss his hand. If not his heart. Seven years without opportunity means for the ordinary spinster no other opportunity. She will bo In the retired list when another leap year comes If It Is to be done at all It must be done quickly the getting of a husband. Au artist has conceived of the symbolic spinster , lariat In hand , watching for the moment when the fearing man may bo caught by Its clinging loop. The picture Is the precise representation of the fact. The spinster will employ force to the ut most. The unveiling strands ot the lariat will bo hurled by no wavering hand , and there will bo no escape for him over \vhose shoulders the resistless noose falls. The spinsters will look In the glass and see there In the shadow pictures conjured up by sorrowful rowful anticipation , the pictures of spinsters seven years hence , when the/ battery of charms will bo routed by the arms of Father Time. Spinsters will not fall In 189G if their utmost strength can avoid defeat. If , after all , they do fall , they will anathematize the calendar makers. It 13 a curious prank those same calendar makers have played , on the women directly , and on the men Indirectly. The Introduction of an additional day Into the calendar once In four years Is necessary to prevent the average year from being too short. At the same time it makes the average - ago year a llttlo too long. This additional length Is so slight that It accumulates very slowly. Nevertheless , It docs accumulate , and by the end of a century it amounts to nearly a day. For that reason once In 100 years the additional day , which marks a year as leap year. Is omitted , and the average length of the years is reduced. The English law determined In 1751 on re forms in the calendar , and from those wo draw and use. The original determination ot the calendar was made by the pope , and afterward It was adopted by all the coun tries except Russia and the east. From January 12 , 17E2 , the civil year was made to begin on that date , and not on March 1 , as many had It. In the same year eleven days were dropped from the calendar , from the 3d to the 13th , Inclusive , so that what would have been the fourteenth became the third. With this change effected the remainder of the calendar followed the usual course. I3y this change the day which would have bocn December 25 became January 5. It was from this that the latter derived Its iiamo of Old Christmas day. The further regulation of the calendar oc curred In omitting the year 1SOO from the number of leap years. Therefore In 1801 Old Christmas day fell on January 6 , and from that time until this that Is the day of the month called by that name. In Rider's "British Merlin" for 1801 we nnd It stated that 1900 ia not to be a IMP year , while 1901 Is to bo the fifth year nftor bis sextile , or leap year , and the first year of the twentieth cfntury. For this century the first leap year was 1804 , which , is described as euch In the almanacs which were then cur rent. rent.Ono Ono old almanac for 1800 , Moore's , names the year as the fourth after bissextile , or leap year , and then states that In spite of Its being the fourth year from leap year , 1790 , the month of February had only twenty- eight days. Following this fashion 1802 Is called the sixth year after bissextile , and 1803 the seventh. Curious as all this appears to us it Is pre cisely what wo will soon do. Throughout sove-n years there will bo no February 29 after 189C. All of the births and other events which occurred on that unfortunate day of the month will have no opportunity to cele brate their anniversary. That eccentric date , February 29 , will then have an opportunity for renown brought on by Its absence. The calendar adjustment by which these matters were arranged roaches forward to a dlstanco that Is startling : to one whoso term ot llfo la the seventy years of man. It de clared that the years 1800 , 1900 , 2100 , 2200 , or any other hundredth year In tlmo to como shall consist of 3C5 days and no more. But the fact also remains that this adjustment of the calendar was not quite accurate. The ono day omitted once In the century made the average year a very llttlo too short. To remedy this defect the adjusters made the following exception to the rule making the hundredth years of 3C5 days , except every fourth hundredth year beginning with the year 2000. These years will be leap years , that Is , the years 2000 , 2400 , 2800 , 3200 will liavo a February 29. But their days are not of great concern to us.

Verbal Invitations had been Issued for a dance , and the young people , according to a prearranged plan , gathered at the resi dence of a neighbor to enjoy the night In social mirth. As soon as enough ot the festive throng had arrived a set wag formed and partners selected. Just as the- music started and the young folks were In the act of whirling around the floor , the door suddenly opened and In the room entered a minister of the gospel named Budd , who confronted the amazed frollckers , and In a kindly tone asked all to get down on their knees In a supplicating attitude , \vhlio ho endeavored to pray for their salva tion. Several of the young- men wcro very reluctant about obeying the request , but finally consented. In a volco filled with emotion the young preacher prayed fer vently for the conversion of the amusement seekers , and admonished them of the folly of dancing parties. As soon as the service was concluded the Intrepid clergyman bid all farewell and left the scene. The participants of the proposed party held a short conference and after dancing a cotillion repaired to their re- spectivcs homes , utterly dissatisfied with ths preacher's Intrusion. Whllo the older heads fully concur In Mr. Budd's action the young people do not , eaylns ho had no business whatever to Interfere with their harmless amusement , and Intl- mate a desire to try It again some other time. Young Budd's father Is a minister , and ho also has two brothers who are preachers of the Methodist denomination. The boy preacher has recently been Invested with ministerial functions , is an Mrnest worker In the Lord's vineyard , nnd possessed ot a resolute character.
