They are taking medicines prepared by incompetent -

is generally no necessity. They are grow-

LINCOLN. Dec. ! . ( Special. ) The Hilton
case was given to the Jury In Judge Cornish's
court shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The Instructions were read to the Jury last
evening , nnd arguments were made this
morning. The Instructions were largely
fnvoroblo to the state. The only ono given
for the defense was to the effect that Is
Is within the scope of the law for any per
son owning oil to call upon the oil Inspec
tor or his deputy to Inspect the same for
Us own sa'fcty and that of the public. Hut
If the- oil was not Intended or expected to
be offered for sale for Illuminating purposes
or from Its nature could not bo so used , nnd
the person owning the oil paid the fee
voluntarily , then the olllcer In collecting the
fee did so outside the scope of his duty.
The sureties unsuccessfully endeavored to
Imvo the Jury Instructed that under the
statute relating to the duties of oil Inspec
tor the Inspection or testing of gasoline was
not Included , and If ho received any fees
therefor ho did not receive them by virtue
of his ollice , and his sureties were therefore
not liable. They wonted the Jury Instructed
that the mere looking nt a cask of oil was
not an Inspection , and that If these fees
were paid to Hilton on the mere pretense
of Inspection when none was made , and that
It was done simply to defray the expenses
of the department , then Hilton was acting
outsldo the scope of his duty , nnd the
sureties could not be held. Another Instruc
tion asked was that If the evidence showed
that gasoline could not be tested as pro
vided by law. the taking of fees therefor
was Illegal nnd the sureties could not be
held liable If they were not paid over to
the state.
CONTENTION OF THK STATIC.
The state wanted the Jury Instructed that
gasoline was n product of petroleum , nnd
that If the fees received by the defendant
for the Inspection of gasoline were paid be-
CPIIBO he was the state Inspector of oils , no
was accountable for the same to the state
nnd his sureties were liable.

NEIIRASKA CITY. Dec. 4. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The residence of Hon. John C. Wat
son was entirely destroyed by fire at 5 o'clock
this morning. The library and Interior fur
nishings of the house were all destroyed
except the piano. Inmiranco to the amount
of $15.500 was carried on the house and con
.tents , which will fully cover the less.
It Is not known how the fire originated , as
Mr. Watson and his family left home on
Tuesday , leaving the house alone , except
for occasional visits of a colored servant.
The latter states everything was all right
at 10 o'clock last night. The fact that the
back doors were found open by the firemen
gives seine color to the theory that the house
was plundered and then set on lire.

Contrary to all Indications and even the
most sangulno expectations , the severity of
the weather was suddenly mollified yesterday
afternoon by the springing up of a pecu
liarly mellow and balmy breeze from the
northwest , which appeared to possess all
the thawing properties of the mildest vernal
wind , nnd 'tho heavy clcak of leu which
shrouded the corn In the fields , as well as
the twigs and branches of nil the trees , etc. ,
which long weeks of ordinary winter
weather would hardly cva | orate , melted

the space of a few hours. This peculiar
wind had all the feeling and produced the
Identical effectR of the "chlncok" winds on
the I'aclflo coast , and probably was the < x-
trtiinu Houtheastcrn point of a broader and
warmer atmospheric Impulse of like char
acter sweeping over the entire northwest
from the coast of Oregon. At any rate ,
It unlocked the cornfields again from the
chilling embrace of winter nnd enabled
the fanners to Immediately resumehusk -

tlro crop can bo safely housed before the

The publication of the fact that the fed
eral authorities will cause the arrest of
the officers and trustees of the Iowa Sol
diers' homo for violation of the federal
statutes concerning pensions , created a sen
sation. Federal Attorney Fullcn today said
lie would swear out the Informations tomor
row and have the arrests made as soon ns
possible. Ho Intimates that the authorities
at Washington have Inspired the action in
order to test the rule for holding back pen
sions , which la practiced In the soldiers'
homes of several states. Mr. Fullen does
not anticipate that any punishment will
be meted out to the officers , or anything
more than nominal , but he expects to secure -
cure the court's order to discontinue the
rule and keep the excess of pension money
over $0 a month as a trust fund for heirs
of pensioners.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 4. The proposed
prosecution of the Iowa Soldiers' homo of
ficials grows out of an Investigation made
by a congressional committee. Pension bu
reau officials , though having no connection
with the case , are surprised at the. develop
ments of the Inquiry , and say that the
exaction of the management of all In ex
cess of $6 per month from all Inmates la a
direct violation of the law. Somewhat sim
ilar charges were made eomo tlmo ago
against Governor Smith of the National Sol
diers' horao at Leavcnworth , Knn.

CHII'I'EWA FALLS. WIs. . Dee. 4. The
water tonight hr.s receded thlrty-neven Indira
and many of the buildings lately under the
Hood arc commencing to reappear. Some of
them have been crushed In by the Ice. A
few busliictw men nro moving back , although
the majority will remain at their present
locatlona and take no chances. The Ice pack
has ccasc-d to grow , the anchor Ice being car-
rlei ! under the gorgeby the swift current
of the river. If present conditions continue
the lee will gradually wear away. Every
body Is feeling not only relieved , but very
sanguine over the outlook.
Colonel Jones started down the branch
line of the Milwaukee & St. Paul road at
S o'clock , going along the banks of the
river for several mlleo on n further In
vestigation of the gorge. He docs not be
lieve there Is anything to ho done , and
rather disapproves the use of dynamite or
other explosives as useless or unnecessary
work.
The wont Is undoubtedly over. The people
ple of the valley are becoming acquainted
with that fact , and consequently feel much
relieved.
MILWAUKEE. Dec. 4. A special to the
Wlscotmln from Menomlnce , Mich , nays : An
Ice gorge has formed In the Menomlnce river
at Fisher. In this county , nnd the river hr.
overflowed Its banko In several places ns
far up ns the Twin Islands. A large reby
farm of Ludlngton Walls. In Van Schaack
county , Is covered with four feet of water.
Above- Fisher the river has virtually changed
Its course and has swept Into the Cedar
river channel. Much property la destroyed.
SHAWANO. WIs. , Dec. 4. The situation
at Keshenn grows serious. At Kcshcnn
Falls , two miles nbove , the river lee Is piled
below tlu > falls thlity feet high , water packs
up so that the falls are covered. The lee
Jam extends two and a half miles down the
river , and Is piled high against the lower
or Keshena bridge. Water Is backing up a
creek at the village and part , of the place
Is under water. The flood Is rising steadily.
At the government planing mill the water Is
seven feet deep. All of the agency prop
erty Is In danger. In this city people nre
awaiting anxiously.
DETHOIT. Mich. , Dec. 4. A special to
the Free Press from Mciiomluco. Mich. , says :
Reports were received this evening to the
effect that the water Is still rising In the
Menomlneo river , above the Ice gorge which
has formed for sixteen miles above the
head of Grand Hnplds. H is stated that nt
several farms the people are fleeing for
their lives. Darns and cellars arc over
flowed and much fodder and provisions de-
strojcd. Thu river has overflowed to the
Cedar river , thus changing Its course.

H. C. Potter of Clilcniso Iilcntilled lli
the Project.
CHICAGO , Dee. 4. There Is no longer any
doubt as to the Identity of one of the moving
spirits In the proposed transpacific dteam-
shlp line. O. W. Potter , president of the
Commercial National linnk , practically ad
mitted , although he declined to make any
specific statement to that effect , that his
BOH , E. C. Potter , wns englnecrlrg the project.
A. H. Duller Is also prominent In the ncheme.
The Junior Potter , together with Mr. Hutlcr ,
Is now In San Dlcgo , In the Intcrcsta of the
enterprise. It Is also known that negotia
tions nre under way with the Atchlson. Topeka -
peka & Santa Fe Hallway company , looking
toward utilizing the latter as the connect
ing link between the Atlantic nnd Pacific
ports. E. C. Potter Is a stockholder In the
Santa Fc road. Mr. Potter , sr. , declines to
fitntc what capitalists are Interested with
his on In the enterprise , nnd says that ho
has not a dollar's worth of Interest In It.
"I really am not specifically advloed as to
the exact nature of my son's busne ! i In
California. " said the banker. " 1'e.rhar.n H
would bo bctteito wait until his return be
fore connecting bin name authoritatively
with the transpacific enterprise. I will say
this , however , my son has been Interested
In such a move for two years. The necessity
of an American line of Btcamera between
this country and the Orient was made np-
parent to him when he visited Japan. This
project la yet In such an embryonic state
that It Is almost useless to talk about It ,
even If I were better posted as to Its details.
It Is a gigantic undertaking , and one that
will Involve an expenditure nf many millions
of dollam , and possIbiy years of time , be
fore what can bo regarded as a fair begin
ning can bo made. In the first place , much
tedious legislation will have be- put through
before the project would bo on any sort of
a basis. The federal government will have
to legislate upon the question of subsidizing
vessels for thu transportation of the malls.
It will also have to be apparent that good
connections can be made between the Pa
cific nnd Atlantic coasts for the fonvord-
Ing of freight acroea the country. "
"Uctween what ports will the steamers
ply ? "
"Probably the United Sthtes port will be
San Dlcgo and naturally Yokohama will bo
the Japanese port. Hut , as I said before , I
am not prs ol ( ! o"nltcly rc/ardlng the project ,
and this Is largely guess" work with me. "
"Over what railroad la It proposed to
transport freight ? "
"There has been talk of negotiations being
under way with the Santa Fe road. Thin has
a terminus at San Diego , and has direct
connections acroe.i the entire country. Hut
the agreement with the railroad Is n matter
that will requlro much time to perfect. It
will require between $7.000,000 and ? S,000.-
000 to. build thu steanuhlps alone , to say
nothing of the other cxpensei. Th it Is a good
deal of money to raise. "
