Tins OMAHA DAILT HT313 : TUESDAY" , JANUA11Y 5 , 18)7. { )
Which Inaled until lontr after mlilnlsht. In
fnct , the fusion elements of the house hail
been in caucus oft nnil on nil day , but the
only iiroeress mailo tip to tlio minper hour
was the adoption of a resolution provid
ing for the manner of dlitrlmitton. It wns
Jisrcfd that th& populist * should nave the
Bpsakcr , cMcf clerk , flrt awilBUnt clerk ,
erReant-at-arms mid doorkeeper. The dem
ocrats \vcro put off with tht certainly of
tlie second assistant clerk after the bis places
Jiart been nccordoil Ihe populists. It wag
further agreed that the remaining pceltlon
should be divided 011 tli basin of twenty-
? lKht sixty-sevenths for the democrats anJ
Uiltty-htAcn sixty-soventha for the popultets.
Tlio latter , however , tied n string to the chap ,
lalncy by leaving the race for that position
open to the field. It woa o'clock this
evening , when the caucus was finally called
to order. 'Ihe chaplaincyWM taken up Unit.
1'lvo ballots were taken , and on the ilflh
C. C. Male ? of David City was elected. Ho
Is a free silver republican. Then J , X. Oaf-
fin of Founders county was pleated speaker
by acclamation. This action released the
democratic members , nud most of them left
Iho caucus room , their further participation
being unnecessary. The big fight over the
chluf clerkship thrn commenced. After an
Interminable dlscusMcn , the members who
still remained ( reached Mio poln'J where
they were willing to vote. Eight ballots
\vcro taken , and on the last one Krank
Kagcr of Lincoln received n majority and
was declared the mucus ncmlnec. The rage
of the ilumocrats , when It was announced that
another llryan protege had bc-cn selected
nml from Lancaster county , too , was some-
Mhlng worth Elnylng up all night to witness.
The remaining officer were Illltil with much
less difficulty. U. K. l-'OJtcr of 1'lalnvlow
ivns made first assistant chief clerk , with
out opposition. L. A. llcltzcr of Osceola
was flgaln made Borgeant-at-arnw. Ho
served the house In the fame capacity
Blx and four years ago. John C. Hammings
of Arlington was named for doorkeeper , and
Halph IJ. Parsons of Holt county for post-
mantcr. The caucus then , at 1:30 : , ad
journed.
UEFOIIMEUS IN SI011T.
The coming legls'latlvo session gives prom
ise of bolng a busy one In more ways than
one. i.lneol'1 swarms with reformers to
night. Every populist member has n few
Ideas of his own which he hopes to graft
upon the annotated /statutes. Hut up to
tlio prcfent tlmo the Interest over the or
ganization of the two houses has forced leg
islative matters Into the background.
An the day for Iho Inauguration of the
nowly-eleclcd Plate officials draws nearer ,
the Interest In the contemplated effort to
seat the two new Judges of the supreme court
Increase * . Judges Novlllo and Klrkpatrlck
are hero In an expectant attitude. Judge
Neville raid to.-lay that he was hire for n
twofold purpose. Klrst , ho wnmod to ask
the legislature to make a liberal appro
priation for the Transmlrsln'lppi Expedition.
Then ho wanted the same body c-f lawmakers
to ficat him upon the supreme bench. He
felt sure , he fald. that his first wishes to
ward the exposition would bo granted.
Everybody here expects the legislature to
seat the contingent judge * ; but very few
of the members have a definite Idea as to
just how tint desired result Is to be nccom-
pllrhed. At any rate an expectant public
will not be held long In suspense , for the
cards In the jiulgshlp controversy will bo
laid face up on the table within a few days.

On December 17 James J. Corbett affixed
his signature to the articles of agreement.
This afternoon Hob Fltzslmmons , accom
panied by hla manager , met Dan Stuart at' '
a Jersey City hotel , In the presence of a j
number of well known sporting men and rep- \
ro."entalives of the prcas , nnd Fltzelmmons
nlUxed hla signature underneath Corbett's
on the articles. There wr.a a parley be
tween Stuart and Julian ra to the terms of
the agreement. Fltzslmmons snld all was j
satisfactory to him , except that of a tilde I
bet , and the last clause of the agreement j
which gave Stuart the right to reserve all
privileged. I
Stuart throughout the meeting , araurcd all'
at the meeting that ho wa.i confident that
he could bring off the fight on the date
mentioned. March 17 , without any Inter
ference , and he further stated that the ques
tion of privileges , especially the photographIng -
Ing of the contest-by any persons , would bu
considered later on , whjn an offer had been
made by any company "wishing to enter into
an agreement with him. In case an offer
was made , he said , ho was willing to meet
either of the contestants , or other represent
atives , and make an arrangement ns to the
division of the money derived from thlfl
source of revenue. Aa soon as this rasurance .
was given. Fltznlitanoii3 handed over the i
articles signed by him , to Stuart , although
he really had affixed hla signature a few
minutes previously. As to the side bet , Flt-
slmmons eald he would put up from $5.000
to $10.000. There waa very little quibbling ,
and It looked as If all parties concer.u-d are
In earnest about deciding who Is the the
rcrognlzcd heavyweight champion of the
world.
The articles call for a purse of $15,000 , to
bo given to the winner , nnd each of the
principals to past ? 2.500 In the hantte of a
Etakcholder to guarantee an appearance In
the ring , the one falling to live up to thh
agreement to forfeit to the other and Dan
Stuart. As a Guarantee of gcod faith Stuart
pgrt'OT to peat S > ,000 with a stakeholder to
be divided equally between Corbett and Fltz-
almmons It lie ( Stuart ) falls to carry out
the provisions Incorporated In the agree
ment. Stuart further agrees to pc/it the re
mained of the jnirso ( $10.000) ) In the hands
of a stakeholder thirty days prior to the
date of the contest , and that the said $10-
000 bo forfeited br him to Corbett timl Fltz-

At noon yesterday It was Just thirty-eight
hours since thn police of this city had made
an arrest. The last man to be booked on
the police station blotter wnn brought In
at 10 o'clock last Saturday night. Hctwcou
that time and uc/on yesterday not an arrest
of any inscription was made. , This Is a
record breaker In local police history.
The condition of tlio weather Is held re
sponsible for tills condition of affairs. The
police olllcors are firmly convinced of It and
niMnlaln that In addition to Its other usra
the weather Is a barometer of vice nnd
crime.
The session of the police court was very
uninteresting yesterday. There was no
Ki'lst to dispose of and the only drunk and
disorderly ease to come up wns that of 0.
A. Wagnur , the last man to bo gathered In
Irst Saturday night. Judge Gordoni looked
at the empty prisoners' dock and thru sen
tenced the culprit tn servo out a line of $5
and costs for blotting the otherwise clean
record of the day.
The only other case that was taken up
yesterday was that against J. M. Melley-

woman held on the charge of larceny from
the person. MrHoyr.olds Is the man who
met George W. bray of Oakland , la. , several

acquaintance of the Williams woman. Hray
cultivated the acquaintance to the extent
of $50. Ho was robbed of that amount In a
wlno room. McHoynolds could not satis
factorily explain his connection with the
case , and consequently was sentenced to
the county Jail for thirty days.
.May Williams was also arraigned for trial ,
but she was not ready to plead. She has
admitted to the pollre that while she \\-tn
being brought to the station In the patrol
wagon she "ditched" the money by the

The report that William Waldorf Astor
hns-'quit-clalmed his allegiance to Uncle
Sam for the livery of Queen Victor } ' Is no
surprise to Americans , saya the Chicago
Tribune. After taking up his permanent
residence In England , breaking with his
American relatives , and deciding to sell his
vast realty holding In New York , his hob
nobbing with royalty and aspiring , by ru
mor , to marry Into the reigning house not
to recall his declaration that America Is not
lit for a gentleman to live in have rendered
his formal act 'of becoming a naturalized
subject c/f the queen seem , If anything , a
trine delayed.
Mr. Aetor's life lira been of Interest to
the people of two continents not so much
for the accident of his wealth as for the ec
centric uses to which ho has devoted It In
furthering social anAltlons. Whatever may
be the verdict upon him by his ox-country
men , none can say William. Waldorf Astor
has not been fascinatingly original.
William Waldorf Aster IsIS years old.
His present position In English society la
that of a widower , eligible beyond the dreams
of Impoverished nobles , who has also two
daughters , alrccst at the threshold of society ,
nnd a son who may , through the ancient
sagacity of the Heidelberg fur peddler , marry
to any social position.
It Is but two years since Mr. Astor's wife
died at Cllvedcn-on-the-Thames. the family's
magnificent residence. She was MUs Mary
Paul of Philadelphia and was the niece
of Admiral Dahlgren. The marriage took
place on Juno 0 , 1873 , being a simple home
wedding. This branch of the Astor house
did not figure as conspicuously In society for
years as some of the cousins and nephews.
In 18SS Mrs. Wllllem Waldorf Astor really
began her noclal prominence. She led off
with participation In the series of exclusive
dinners given by Ugerton Wlnthrop , Mrs.
Coleman Drayton nnd Mrs. Frederick Hron-
son. O'.it of this alliance , with Mrs. Astor
recognized as the guiding mind , rame the
segregation of' the extremely wealthy eel
of New York from the ordinary aristocrats ,
which finally established hard boundaries.
Then there came the rivalry between Mrs.
William Waldorf Astor and Mrs. William
Astor to succeed to the title of plain "Mrs.
ABIOI : , " at the passing of Mrs. John Jacob
Astor. The latter was the mother of Wil
liam Waldorf , and William Antor is his
unolu.
Mrs. William Astor wanted the distinc
tion of bolng "Mrs. Astor , " because she
had been the most conspicuous nnclcty wo
man In the family. William Waldorf wanted j
the distinction to fall to his otvn
wife. A letter directed to "Mrs. Astor"
without other Identification was sent to
Newport , and both women claimed It. The
postofllco refused to arbitrate. Jt could not
bo settled between the families and an
Irreparable break occurred.
How far the repudiation of each branch
of the house by the other wont was shown
at the death of Mrs. William Waldorf Astor
two years ago , The families had not ex
changed civilities since the Newport letter
Incident. When the widower brought his
wlfo's body to Now York for burial , the
William Astor branch showed Us entire con
tempt of kinship and propriety by holding
aloof recognition nnd sympathy nnd plunging
straightway Inlo lavish social demonstra
tions.
Mr. Astor returned to Knuland as soon an
his mission was over and has not been to
America since.
In America Mr. Astor's career was not
confined wholly to the realms of finance and
moneyed aristocracy. IIo has n record alee
In diplomacy and literature. Ho was minis
ter to Italy from 1S82 to 1885. While In that
land ho wrote his novel , "Valentine , " and
" " published later.
planned "Sforza , which was
Upon removing to London In 1892 William
Waldorf Astor took up his residence In Lansdowne -
downo house , formerly rented by Lord Roao-
bcry. Ho also rented another elaborate homo
at No. IS Carlton House terrace. Then ho
purchased the magnificent Cllve lon on the
upper Thames , where royalty has feted.
Mrs , Astor began her new career cowiorva-
t'lvtly ' , but there was no doubt at any tlmo
the Astor ambition was lusty , nnd at length
Mrs. Astor , who at least could wear that
cognomen without dJsputo In England , was
presented to the diplomatic circles In the
quocn'a drawing room , a rare mark of favor
to bestow UJKHI ono untltled.
Mr. Antor found favor In the eyen of the
prlnco of Wales , Gouulp IH oovero enough
to &ay that the ancient fur peddler was at
the bottom of It , Their close acquaintance
eamo In the- wako of the drain of Uaron
Illrsch , who had advanced the prlnco vast
loans , which were recalled euddtmly by ad
ministrators upon the dcnth of the * phllan
throplsl , Tlio Itotlischlld pur eslrlngs hai
been drawn tlplil ngnlnst HIP prlnco for
years , notwithstanding tlio social olevatlM
ho gave members of the house , nnd In his
emergency tia ) prlnco had to turn some
where for a now benefactor and banker.
Mr , Astor was on the lookout for a soda !
climb and had "money to burn. " Hccauso
the prlnco of Wales pa-Id the Hlrsch loan
notwithstanding his comparative bankruptcy
and Mr. Astor took the social climb , not
withstanding his "plain" origin , the native
llrlrlsher concluded the Hlrsch mantle hat !
fallen on Astor. They think ho U wearing It
to Joy , and there la thla much ground for
the argument : Creditors nro not complaining
that Iho prlnco baa no money.
The widower did not feel hid sncl.il rttnbl-
tloni abate with the death of his wlfo.
Hrltlah society la not able to ngroe whether
Mr. Astor Is now mort concerned about a
new alliance for himself or for hla 17-year-
old daughter. Gossips think both Ideas en-
grosj him.
It wr.s guessed two months ago that Mr.
Astor hr.d conceived no less nn ambition
than the wedding cf the Prlncrta Victoria ,
only unmarried daughter of the prlnco of
Wales , who la now eUth In line of nuccos-
slon to the throne. The thought nlimut
paralyzes the Hrltlah pride , but theiv are no
constitutional barriers to such an alliance ,
oevcral .matchoi In the royal family having
bcon contracted with "plain" people , titled
through courtesy.
The presentation of a ccstly diamond by
Mr. Astor as a wedding present to the Prin
cess Maud was taken ns convincing argu
ment by many that Mr. Astor wsa acceptable
to the prince of Wales.
In British Jmiriial'Gin the American finan
cier lies cut n wide swath. Ho became the
head of the Pall Moll Magazine and would
have none but royalty on hla pay rolls as
editors and writers. Ho heard Henry Gush
make a brilliant speech In Parliament and
made him his chief editor. Last February
Mr. Astor asserted his prerogative as a pub-
lUhcr by dlschnrlug Curii. It caused a sen
sation. Mr. Astor discontinued the Dudget
after the death of his wlfo out of his wish
to make Its tomb a memorial to her.

Whenever discussion as to the failure of
some unfortunate to make a decent living
Is In progress , there Is usually heard the
remark : "I would rather take a pick ( or
shovel ) on my shoulder and go out lo
work. " There Is a lofty and Independent
flavor about this sentiment that causes It
to be received with approval , says the Wash
ington Pc\3t. Without stopping to consider
whether or not such a proceeding Is practi
cable , the audience absorbs the Idea as
something eminently correct and. worthy of
admiration.
One thing In this connection Is overlooked ,
and that Is that neither the person who
formulates the scheme nor the persona who
have heard It uttered have ever tried the
thing Itself. A pick Is not an article of
scientific appearance , but should any Inex
perienced Individual undertake the manip
ulation of ono , he will make n number of
discoveries. FIve minutes of swinging n
pick will make a pair of twenty-pound
dumbbells appear Insignificant and the
handling of them child's play.
Aside from the actual Inability of ono un
accustomed to handling theIns'trument to do
any i-erlons amount of work with It , there are
sftur effects sere hands , stiff joint * , dis
able : ! musclfs , and nn unconquerable des > 're
the next dsy to refrain from exertion. The
ohovel Is worse than the pick. In the firot
burst of enthusiasm It can bo operated some
what longer , perhaps , without panting rnd
getting short-winded , but the next day there
Is the Rime feeling of forlornness , the same
disabled hands , the sumo t'tlff Joints , the
same rigid miU''leB ' , and In addition a back
which cannot bo m.'do lo asi'iimo ' the per
pendicular without great effort and some
pain.The
The theory of going out to work with picker
or shovel Is beautiful and high-sounding , but
the practical application Is another affair alto
gether. Besides , there Is nn additional Item
In the matter which lias eluded the observa
tion of the shovel or pick bearer. Work oven
for experienced hands If not always to bo
found. There are hundreds , probably thoii-
oa'nds ' , of men expert In the upa cf the shovel
or pick peeking workunavalllnsly. . What
chance would ono who knows noil.t'ng about
such work have to display his Ignorance and
Incapacity ? A manly and proper Independ
ence Is a fine thing , but the shovel business
[ Oiould not be entered Into lightly. It should
be approached with caution and examined
with Intelligence. Only strong and ablt- :
bodled men pliould prank with the pick or
uhovcl. Unless you are fit for hard work ,
shy at tliccio Implements. Picking and shovel
ling are honorable nnd necessary vccatlcns ,
but as a moans of demonstrating Independ
ence , unless accompanied by phyi-lc.il ability ,
they should bo avoided. Make duo study of
the proposition , weigh the chances of success ,
and having fully mastered the situation un-
Icsn you are strong and healthy don't try
It. Let it alcne.

CAN HOBBS SUBSTANTIATE HIS
CLAIMS ?
JULIUS H.MnS , IY1. D.
In view of the great Importance of this
challenge , not only to the citizens of
Omaha , but tn the entire civilized world ,
the public will be Interested In the outcome
of what may be properly lermed a public
Investlcatlon of a discovery that will become -
como famous and prove of Incalculable Im
portance to the great mass of people who
are suffering In one way and another from
kidney ailments and other attending Ills ,
The offer made by Dr. Ilohbs In his chal
lenge above alluded to Is a simple nnd
plainly worded ono. In a nutshell he as
serts that he has discovered a remedy that
will positively cure that most Insidious
and common of all complaints , disease of
the kidneys ; which Is wrecking men and
women by the score dally.
The good that can be accomplished by a
positive specific , one that can bo iidmln-
Htcred In a simple cud plain way In other
words , n Brand , universal medicine for all
cldncy troubles will bo hailed as a God
send everywhere.
The claims made for the remedy In qucs-
Icin arc , speaking In a general sense , that
the Hobbs Remedy Company of Chicago
and Sail Kranclsno are the owners of an
ASPARAGUS KIDN'KY REMEDY which
ht'y positively assert will cure all kidney
llseascs , with the exception of those whrro
umora and ulcers have formed and a sur
gical operation Is necessary.
It Is not our purpose' this article to
enter Into a general discussion of the vast
lumber of different forms of kidney
roubles , but to tro.it them as a whole , as
space In this paper docs not permit us to
do otherwise.
It is thought that the only possible way
o publicly determine the value of Dr.
lobbs' discovery Is to
GIVE FREE TO ALL
