LINCOLN , Feb. L ( Special. ) The trouble ot the Grand Island Soldiers' and Sailors' Homo , which has resulted In the discharge cf Adjutant Howe by Commander Wilson , appears to bo In the nature of a tempest In n teapot. It was today freely prophesied tround the capital thai Iho whole thing would coon blow over and affairs remain as they were. Both Commander Wilson and Mart Howe were given an audience with the gov ernor today , but the latler said lhat at pres ent there wcro no new developments that would be of any Interest to the public. Some of the populist leaders at the alate house Bay lhat If Howe Is obliged to go that Wll- eon ought to follow suit. It Is quite probable that within a dny or Iwo Howe will be re- Inslaled and things will go as usual at the home. Sheriff W. C. Dyer of Boulder county , Colorado rado , was at the governor's oflice today after a requisition for ono Uredham. The latter Is wanted In Boulder for embezzlement ot | 17G. But a Iclegram for Sheriff Dyer had arrived before him , wllh the Information that Bredham had secured his liberty by the habeas corpus route and skipped for parts unknown. The telegram was from the sheriff of Gosper counly and said that the writ had been sworn out at Elwood , this stale. Bo Sheriff Dyer had his expensive trip for nothing , but he. was plucky , and at once telegraphed -back to rcarrest Iho man and hold him unlll ho called for him wllh Ihe requisition. Bell , a horse dealer In Laramlo county , Colorado , entruslcd Bredham wllh a drove of horses , which the latlcr drove to Boulder and sold , taking notes for them. Upon falling duo the notes were forwarded to Bredham Instead of a bank for collection. Uredham secured $175 on the paper and lett the country. He was lately In Beatrice for a few days , going from there to Elwood , where ho was arrested. At the stale audltgr's office today W. H. Jleynolds , treasurer of Dawes county , effected his yearly settlement , thereby saving himself 10 per cent penally , which will , after today , bo Incurred by all delinquent county treasurers. These treasurers who have not yel made Ihelr selllement with the auditor ore of Cass , Gotper , Otoe , Pierce , Rock/ Bcolts Bluff and Stanton counties.

It Is , how ever , agreed with the delinquent claimant that If he shall file an application for ap propriation In duo form within ten days from the receipt of Iheso findings , the priority of his claim shall date from Augusl 30 , 1895. Elghleen convicts wcro received al Ihe pen- penllenllary during Ihe month of January , according to Iho records In the office of the governor. Two of these were "lifers , " Fred erick Wahlgron of Douglas county , who pleaded guilty to the murder of his wife , and John Fager , convicted of Incestuous as- aul ! , from Lancaslor county.

Ono of the contractors got behind In the payment of his bills and Warden Leldlgh notified him that he would not permit him to remove anymore moro ot the finished product on hand until the labor for the same had been paid. The contraclor agreed lo Ihe arrangement and was paying for the labor as ho removed the producls from the plant , but Commissioner Russell interested at this time , and In the name of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings peremptorily directed the warden to permit the contraclor lo remove all of his goods from Die prison , and the finished product was removed.

TECUMSEH , Neb. , Feb. 1 , ( Special Tele gram. ) William Tate was brought before Judge C. B. Lelton In the district court this morning and sentenced for killing Archibald Cathcart. The Jury was actuated In bring ing In a verdict of manslaughter by the fact that the defendant Is but 19 years of ago , and was struck tbo first blow.

Burkctt of Lincoln Is In the city to con test the taxation of ichool land In this county , claiming that his Interest Is assessed much higher than the statutes contemplate that the contractor's Interest shall be assessed.

SUPERIOR GREETS KANSAS Anniversary of that State's Admission Celebrated There , MEMORIES OF BORDER WARFARE RECALLED Enrly StniKRlrn ot Nehrn kn' South ern NclKhhor IlBincmlioroil by Mnny Citizen * ot Nnch- olln Connty. SUPERIOR , Neb. , Feb. 1. ( Special. ) Wednesday Superior , being truly. an Inter state town , raised the flag in honor of the admission of the sister state , Kansas , Into the union thirty-five years before at the time when the entire southern confederacy was clamoring for secession. Probably no state ever endured moro of a slcgo ot strife and turmoil or was more divided within Itself than Kansas In her early days. In 1854 , after. Its organization as a territory and the nullification ot the Missouri compromise , troubles came thick and fast. Several ot the eastern states granted charters to emigrant aid societies , and many from the free states took advantage of these. These going from the slave states as a rule crossed the Mis souri bolder , taking their slaves with them. Even at this early date * the feeling was BO strong that a meeting was called at Weston , Mp. , at which resolutions were adopted de claring the association ready to assist In removing from Kansas all emigrants from the free states. About his time a secret society was organ ized to promote the extension of slavery In the territory. The first territorial governor , Andrew H. Reeder , was appointed by Pres ident Pierce. At the election for a delegate to congress November 29 , the polls were forcibly taken possession of by armed bands ot Mlssourlans and hundreds of Illegal votes cast. After the removal of Governor Reeder from office , the legislature expelled all the free state members , placing In their stead pro-slavery men , and Wilson Shannon of Ohio was appointed governor , the laws ot Missouri being adopted bodily. The free state party Immediately called a convention , delegates were chosen to a constitutional convention to bo held 'nt Topelta , where , on January 15 , 1856 , Charles Robinson was chosen governor. Actual warfare had already commenced , and was only held In check by negotiations from time to time. Major Buford arrived In April with many troops cf armed men from tli2 southern states. During the month Messrs. Howard of Michigan , Sherman of Ohio and Oliver of Missouri were appointed by the house of representatives to Investigate the troubles. Messrs. Sherman and Howard reported as follows : "Every election has been controlled , not by actual settlers , but by citizens of Mis souri , and , as a consequence , every officer in the territory , from constable to legislators , except those appointed by the president , ow < 5 their positions to nonresident voters. None have been elected by the settlers , and your committee has been unable to find that any political power whatever , however unim portant , has been exercised by the people of the territory. " In May the grand Jury found Indictments against many prominent free state leaders , among them Robinson , Reeder and Lane. Robinson was confined In prison for four months , but Reeder and Lane made their es cape. The United States marshal enlisted Major Buford's men and the town of Lawrence was besieged ; the citizens gave up their arms under promises of safety ; this being 'done , the Invaders entered the town and destroyed much property. Next followed many skirmishes , among them the two against John Brown one at Pottawattamle , the , other at Osowatamle. Governor Geary now being appointed , or dered the release of all prisoners and dis banding of all armed bodies. The Mls sourlans disregarded this and with 2,000 men and many pieces of artillery marched upon Lawrence. They were Interposed by Governor Geary with a troop of United States soldiers and forced to retire and Governor Geary reported to the president that peace was established. However , many attempts at Illegal voting were tried , and It was not until January 29 , 1861 , when It was admitted as a state under the Wyandotte constitution , with Charles Robinson as governor , that order was re stored. Even then , during the- first years of the rebellion , much raiding was done , mem orable among wh'ch was the sacking and burning ot the city of Lawrence In 1803 by Quantrell and his band. I'ETEIl MILLEDGE FOUND GUILTY" . Dodpre Comity Mnit Convicted of Steal ing HOKH. FREMONT , Feb. 1. ( Special. ) The Jury In the case against Peter Mllledge brought In a sealed verdict at 1 o'clock this morning. At 3 o'clock this afternoon they came Into court and the verdict was read. They found the defendant guilty and fixed the value of the property stolen at $40.50. MIlledgB showed no feeling whem the verdict was read. The court room was filled with farmers and others. The farmers feel that since two members of the- gang are on their way to the penitentiary and two others , Joss Wheeler and Jo Belts , In Jail awaiting trial , their property will be- more secure. Tlio result was a surprise to the gang , as they felt confident of an acquittal. The charge against Mllledge , was stealing nine hogs of the value of $45. The trial lasted three days and every ; step In the case was hotly contested. John Spangler was eentenced this after noon to Imprisonment In the penitentiary for two years. Jo Belts pleaded not guilty to the larceny of six -hogs of the value of $52.50 from the Standard Cattle company and In default of ball was committed to jail. There still remains on the criminal docket the caaa against Wheeler , charged with the larceny with Jo Belts of seven hogs .from the Standard Cattle company and John and Maria Mllledgo for concealing stolen prop erty.

AD was expected in view of the death of Prince "Henry of Batten- burg , Ihe past week has bcjn the quietest In society recorded for a long time- past , and politically , In eplte of the aftermath In the alleged Russo-Turkloh entente , the week has been almost devoid of Interest. In splto of the fact that they have been suffering terribly from grief , the queen and Princess Beatrice have continued to enjoy excellent health. Her majesty has granted to the widowed prlncesj the use during the latler's lifetime of Osborno cottage near Osborne house , a pretty place formerly occupied by the late Sir Henry Ponsonby , for many years private secretary to the queen and keeper of the privy purse , who died March 12 of last year. Princess Beatrice has resolved to make her home on the Isle of Wight , ot which her late , husband was governor , and where he was much liked. The drawing room has been abandoned and her majesty will depart for the continent two woaka earlier lhan previously determined upon , leaving for Clmlez during the first week of March. . . All the arrangements for the funeral of prince Henry of Battenburg , who died dur ing Ihe evening of January 20 , while on his wayt lo Iho Island of Madeira , on board Ihe Brlllsh cruiser Blonde , of fever contracted while serving" with the Ashantl expedition , have been completed. The remains will be entombed In Whlpplnghnm church at 12:30 : p. m. on Wednesday next and the cere monies will bo mosl Impressive. The body was transferred yesterday al Fulchal , Island of Madeira , from Ihe Bionde lo the flrst- clasa cruiser Blenheim. The last named nar ship almost Immediately afterward started for England.The Blenheim con veyed tfco remains of the late Sir John Thompson , Iho Canadian premier , who died suddenly at Windsor castle , to Canada. Upon the arrival of the Blenheim at Ports mouth , the body of Prince Henry of Batten- burg will be transferred to the royal yacht Alberta and will be taken across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. The casket will remain on board ehlp. The body rests on a bier erected on the quirtcrdeck , draped with light blue and whlto and with the British white ensigns. It Is said thai ths queen and Princes ? Beatrice will be at the disembarkation of the remains , and lhat they will follow the casket , which will bo carried by Scots guards , to Whlpplngham church. The health of Sir John Mllllas ( ho In about G6 years of age ) , has recently been causing some anxiety to his friends. He , has been suffering from an affection of the throat which doc.3 not seem to diminish In spite of the treatment he has bean sub jected to. It Is definitely announced In the Yachting World that Sir Henry Nunez , proprietor of the Westminster Gazelle , Ihe Strand Maga zine , Tidbits , etc. , has definitely decided to abandon his Intention' of challenging lor America's cup. In view of the reporl circulating In the United Stales that Mr. William Vanderbllt is shortly to announce his engagement to Mss ! Amy Bend , It may bo worth while men tioning that Vanity Fair this week asserts that William 1C. Vanderbllt will shortly an nounce his engagement to an English duche . Mrs. John W. Mackay's Paris house has been bought by M. K. Klatz , the great Parisian perfumer. A reporter of the Associated press ques tioned Bramwell Booth , son of General Booth , of the Salvation army , regarding the recall of Balllngton Booth , Bramwcll's brother , from command ot the army In the United States. When Informed of the New York meeting to bo held next Monday , ho said : "We are Immensely pleased at the fact thai Islington's work has received such approval from BO many prominent people In America. Ho was recalled simply by a rule In the army thai after a certain period of years a transfer would occur. Ball'ngton has been In America nine years , and like Ihe Wcs- leyans , we change every six or seven years , " Lord Dunraven was among Ihe guesls of Ihe prince of Wales at Sandrlngham this week. The United States ambassador , Thomas F. Bayard , started yesterday on a visit to Lord Galway at his eeat near Nottingham. Business at the leading theaters during the past week fell off somewhat , ow'ng to the death of Prince Henry of Batlenburg , and the novelty of the week was the flrsl perform ance on Thursday cf "The Fool of the. Family" at the Duke cf York's thealer. The play turned out to be a. failure.

INCREASE IN IOWA INSANE Legislators Startled by the Growth of Mental Disorders in the State , SYLUMS NOT EQUAL TO THE DEMAND Three Alrcmly Oi > rllon Inir nnil th Full Cnimoltr of the Fonrth Anticipated AKP of Con sent to nc Itnldcil to II ! . DES MOINH3. Feb. l.-Spcclal. ( ) Th legislators are not a little alarmed over the steady Increase In tlio number ot Insane persons In this state. A few jcars ago the two asylum * nt Independence and Mount Pleasant wcro sufficient for the treatment ot this class ot unfortunates , Since then a new asylum at Clarltula lias boon erected , J which Is already full to overflowing , Tlio fourth asylum , nt Cherokee , now In process of construction , although planned on a gcn- i crcus scale , will likely prove Inadequate * to i : the demands that will bo made upon It , and a fifth Institution ot this kind Is apparently among the necessities of the near future. It Is estimated that there nro at the present time not less than 1,500 Insane patients being cared for by the various counties , and many more nro being treated In private hospitals. The cost of caring for the Insane Is no Incon siderable Item , and Is constantly Increasing. The present .legislature will bo called upon to appropriate abortt $000,000 for asylum con struction and maintenance. The general agitation under the auspices of the White Cross society that IP now going on throughout the stnto In reference to rais ing the "ago ot consent" will probably find expression In legislative action. The senate judiciary committee , by a close vote has de cided to recommend raising the ago from 13 to 15 , and It the friends of the measure will accept this compromise the bill stands a good show of pass-lng both houses. Repre sentative Finch will Insist on tacking on an amendment requiring the female to bo "of previously chaste character , " and It this prevails the proposition will meet with little opposition In the house. If , however , the friends ot the bill should Insist upon fixing the ago at 18 years , as now seems' likely , they will scarcely be able to pocure the necessary number of votes on the final roll call. Petitions bearing more than 10,000 names have already been presented on this subject. James Yulll of Cedar Ilaplds , a special representative of the farmers' mutual ' flro Insurance companies , Is hero to protest against the adoption of the recommendation ot the cede commissioners limiting the mom- bet ship of these associations. He says that the proposed limitation of memberships to 2,000 would so wcakcn > each company that two or three successive losses would foroo these associations to dltband and nine-tenths of them would go out of business. Ho points out the fact that nearly $150,000,000 et farm property Is now safely and economically Insured In these companies , and no com plaints have been filed , either from the mem bers or the people at large , against them. Seme thirty members of the lower house arc stockholders In the mutuals , and they are going to fight the matter to the bitter end. The senate commltteo on Insurance Is In clined to favor the proposed restriction. A * TO HELP WHEELMEN. H i RepresentativeGurloy has Introduced a bill authorizing bicycle riders to pre-empt six feet of the public highway on all the roada 'n the state. The wheelmen nro given the privilege of Improving th's space by laying cement , macadam , gravel , or In any other manner at their own. expense , and all other vehicles , horseback riders and stock are excluded therefrom. Persons traveling on foot may use the walk at their own peril. The cyclers must locate their track on ono s'de only , and must not encroach upon the usual roadway. 'Senator Hurst Introduced the license bill drafted by the democratic caucus. This- measure Is very similar to the bill Introduced two years ago on the same subject. Tho- minimum fee Is fixed at $000 and the max imum at $1,000 , and the local option feature Is retained. The license board consists of the county supervisors and the auditor. Violation of the provisions of the bill subjects the offender to severe penalties , equal In many Instances to those prescribed In tlie mulct law. It Is a foregone conclusion that tlila measure will bo defeated and will probably receive no republican support. The senate accepted the house amendments to the Funk bill for the protection of fish , and this measure now cnly needs the signature of the governor to become a law. As It passed with the emergency clause It I will go Into effect at once. The bill prohibits the erection of buildings on the Ice for theme mo of fishermen and contains other restric tions. The Phclps cigarette bill was recalled by a motion to reconsider and efforts to tack on amendments limiting the prchlbltlon of the sale to mlnorii only were made by Senator Ellison and others. It was developed during the discussion that the prcsjnl law prohibits the selling or giving away ot not only cigar ettes , but all kinds of lobscco , to minors under 1C. Senator Ellison desires to extend the limit to 21 and thought that to deprive a full grown man of hla privilege of renoklng a cigarette would abridge his personal liber ties. Senator Eaton Insisted that the ealo of cigarettes must bo absolutely prohibited or the law would bh a dead letter. Senator Hotchklss spoke In the , same tenor and be lieved the measure was In the Interest ot better morals. _ _ Fn ul OriinU of nn Alcohol Fiend. WEBSTER CITY , la. , Feb. 1.
