OIIADUON , Neb. , Oct. 3. ( Special. ) An
ordinance to prohibit all kinds of gambling ,
Introduced by Mayor Albert W. Crltes , was
defeated at the regular council meeting Fri
day night by the passage of a substitute , In
troduced by the committee on ordinances.
The substitute provides against the maintaining
ing- and operating of clot machines In nubile
and private placet , but does not In any man
ner coyer other gambling devices , The com-
tultteo on ordinances advanced as a reason
for the substitute that a petition presented
to the council by about 100 citizens prayed
that action bo taken against the slot ma
chine without referring to other gambling.
The mayor Immediately vetoed the subitl-
tuto ordinance , assigning as reasons that It
was claes leglilatlon , unconstitutional and
could not bo enforced , and further that It

LINCOLN , Oct. 3. ( Special. ) The at
taches of the state house are deriving n
largo amount ot quiet fun from a perusal ot
a popullstlo handbook which has just been
Issued by T. II. Tibbies. This Is particu
larly true as to ono part ot It , which , while
undoubtedly true , was written and sent to
the 'press before one of the parties con
cerned became so actively associated with
populist politics In the state. This section
reads as follows.
"Since writing the above I rcn acroM two
very queer vochors In the auditor's ofllce.
They arc as follows :
"Rtntn of Nebrn kn , debtor , to P. T. Itnn-

mont of above account. A. J. SAWYER ,
"It willbo remembered that Moore made
a play for public admiration by refusing to.
pay Garncau's bills at the World's fair.
The result ot It was that Moore not only
paid the whole amount ot the bills , but made
Garneiu a donation out of the treasury ,
above all claims which he had against the
state of $550. The payment of Oarneau's
attorney fees has no warrant In law.
It was simply stealing that much
mraioy. The date of tthe payment of
these two vouchers was November 10 , 1891 ,
Just after Moore's re-election. His show ot
honesty had had Its effect and there was m >
further occaslwj to parade It. The result of
It was , being safely In ofllco again , ho paid
all of Garncau's overcharges and made him
a present of $550. The whole transaction
looks like a deal between Moore and Gar-
noau to work up political capital and make
the people pay the bill. They succeeded. "

ALBION. Neb. , Oct. 3. ( Special. ) The
Boone county fair held Wednesday , Thursday
and Friday of last week , was the most
successful In the history of the county. On
Thursday the gate receipts netted $750 , and
by far the largest crowd was on the ground
ever gathered In this county. The whole
fair ground was a solid mass of teams , men ,
women and children. The exhibit of farm
iwoducte easily demonstrated that Boone
county Is entitled to high rank as an agri
cultural county and Is worthy of the place
held by It In the recent State fair. Although
one ot the newer counties Boone Is one of the
best In the state , as shown by Its crops and
exhibits at the fair. The stock exhibit was
Good and especially at the cattle show the
display of shorthorns was splendid and all
others good. The work of the sctfools of
the county was very tastefully displayed. The
county Is not behind In Its educational In
terests. The needlework and other fan y
work 'waswell worthy of a place In the Art
hall. The racing , base ball and other attrac
tions were all good. The fair association met
a few years ago with losses lu running the
fair during the hard times , but by good man
agement and prosperous times she will be
able to balai.co off the $3,000 Indebtedness.
BROKEN BOW. Neb. , Oct. 3. ( Special. )
Ono of the most successful fairs held In Cus-
tcr county for years was hold last week.

eight persons In It. The wagon was badly

sons were seriously hurt.

flth. W. H. Taylor of David City was nomi
nated for treasurer on the eighth ballot
and L. C. Ren of Bcllwood for sheriff. The
convention was a stormy one and the fac
tional light against the nominee will lose
him many votes , as the South Butler ring
had set tholr hearts on the nomination of
a candidate from Ulysses aud do not take
their defeat kindly.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 3. ( Special. ) When
the report of Blngcr Hermann , commissioner
of the general land oftlco , Is made public It
will show a most startling cccidltlon of af
fairs relative to the forest lands of the pub
lic domain. Mr. Hermann , who has made a
study of forest reservations and timber laws
for many years , has in his report handled
the question of timber thievery In a manner '
which will open the eyes of the western people
ple to the enormous amount of lumber which
has been taken by raining companies and
by railroads for purposes of personal aggran
dizement , Mr. .Hermann discusses exhaust
ively the laws relative to the cutting of
timber and timber lands and cites n number
of Instances where the whole power of the
government has been Inadequate , seemingly ,
to bring known depredators to Justice. It Is
n notorious fact that the suit pending In the
United States court against the Homestead
Mining company of South Dakota for timber
cut before 1S91 , under eight Inches In diam
eter , amounts to millions of dollars , accord
ing to special agents of the general land
office. It Is a further notorious fact that ,
try as the government might. It Ins been
powerless to bring to trial this suit which
has been pending against the Homestead Min
ing company for upwards of live years. Dis
trict attorneys have cither been too busy
to prosecute the case or material witnesses
were absent from the rtatc at the tlmo the
trial might have taken place. All sorts of
legal legerdemain have boon practiced for the
purpose of cont'nulng ' thla case , until the
| general land ofllco has grown desperate ,
i nnd , according to the commissioner , an 1m-
poratlve mandate will bo made upon the dis
trict attorney , through the attorney general ,
to bring thin suit to Issue.
RAILROADS ARE OUILTY.
In some cases it Is known to the officials
of the general land office that the railroads
hiving right of way through tim
bered sections and the right to use
the timber for the construction of
the roadway have shipped hewn timber and
sawed timber from the newly built roads to
eastern markets. Commissioner Hermann
makes no bones about asserting this and
promises that there shall bo restitution
made , If In the power of the government to
obtain the same , from the railroads and
mining companies that have with avaricious
desires and corporate greed taken advantage
of the act of June 3. 1S7S , known generally
as the act to allow the cutting of timber on
mineral lands. A private letter written to
an ofllclal connected with the general land
office by ono of the special agents authorized
to Investigate ( he numerous assertions and
complaints of citizens that railroads In the
Black Hills are shipping timber cut from
mineral lands Into Omaha says : "If you
were hero you would hold up your hands In
horror , as to the wanton destruction of tim
ber now going on In the IIIIIs and the appro
priation of that timber by rallraods for com
mercial purposes. Cars loaded with timber
cut from the mineral lands of this section
go out of the Hills billed as 'empty , ' and I
proimse to go to the root of this evil and If
posalbla eradicate It. "
There have been Intimations received by
the general land office that the Burlington .t
Missouri railroad has availed Itself of Its
right of way privilege through timbered sec
tions to ship timber , cut ostensibly for the
purpose of extending- roadway , to eastern
cities , where the same has been sold to- the
benefit of the lumber dealer and the com
pany. These assertions have been Investi
gated and whllo Commissioner ( Hermann re
fuses to make public this feature of his re
port In advance of Its approval by the secre
tary of the Interior It is believed that the re
port will specifically charge corporations
with the wanton waste of timber and the
cutting of timber for salable purposes.
Charges are pending before grand Juries
In three or four western states against cor
porations having used timber from the public
domain for their own. selfish ends , but until
these grand Juries return Indictments
Commissioner Hermann refuses to make
public evidence which he has accumulated
through his special agents In 'the field. It
Is well known that former Special Agent Fay
of the land office was authorized to investi
gate the charges against the B. & M. com
pany , but before he could complete the work
ho w-ia succeeded by another agent who has
been authorized to take up the work of
Investigation where Fay left oft. Letters
are on fllo In the ofllce ot the secretary of
the Interior Allowing the difficulty which Mr.
Fay constantly encountered In the prosecu
tion of his Investigation. It Is Commissioner
Hermann's intention to prosecute wherever a
case stands any show ot being made out
against people and corporations who have used
the timber of the government to the 'benefit ' of
themselves.
WORK FOR THE EXPOSITION.
The work being done In behalf of the Tran-
mlsslsslppl and International Exposition by our
representatives abrcad Is Uttlo known to the
public except in a desultory manner through
the medium of the public press. Many of our
ambassadors , ministers and consuls have a
warm personal Interest In the success of the
exposition and wherever possible they pub
licly call the attention of the gove'nments to
which they are accredited to the character
of the exposition and the personal desl'e
which they have In the country to which
they are sent being represented. An instance
of this kind Is flhown In the following' corre

One of the
most
frcniicnt
causes of stir-
i come ' to ° , ° , rclf ? v'3'tora ' ' to thla country who
Washington and
Inspect the work
ings of the government Is the extent nnd
remarkable Influence exerted by the lc-
j partment of Agriculture. Scarcely n day
passes that Secretary Wilson Is not visited
by one or moro of the foreigners , and Is
j called upon to explain the scope , theoretical
j ami practical , of the department of which he
i Is the head. It was enl n few weeks ulnco
a well known French scientist came over
hero to study the workings of the Agricul
tural department. Ho was astounded by
what he found by his own Invcntlgatlon , nnd
what was explained to him by the scientists
In charge of the different divisions. Ho said ,
tlmo nnd tlmo again , that thcro was nothing
which could approach It In hla own country
or In the world. His admiration at what
ho saw wag unbounded.
Some Japanese who were hero about the
tlmo the French representative was making
his Inspection , ono of them a member of the
Japanese Parliament from Toklo , were also
greatly pleased with what they saw and ex
pressed surprlso that the department was BO
extensive In character and so productive
of practical results.
Moro recently thcro was an English scien
tist hero , who was shown through the sev
eral branches of the department and his ex
pressions were In ndmlratlon of the big
establishment. Ho stated to Secretary Wil
son that while there were agricultural col
leges and experiment stations In England
they were supported by private subscriptions
and therefore could not by any means
approach the the department here. He wns
especially enthusiastic In regard to the nnl-
mal Industry division but Inspected every
division with equal Interest. He said that
Sir John Laws of England had much to do
with the carrying on ot agricultural ex
periments and was regarded there as a
great authority , on such subjects. Provision
had been made by him In his will for the
maintenance of the work when ho died.
As one detail only of the work being carried
on by the Department of ( Agriculture , It maybe
bo stated that through U as a medium
22,000 farmers In twenty-seven different
states are interested In the sugar beet ex
periment.
OLEOMARGARINE STATISTICS.
The production of oleomargarine during
the last llscil : year amounted to if.r > 31,207
pounds. The1 production In the previous year
amounted to ' 1)0,853,234 pounds and In 1893
to 5G. 958,163 Jiounds. Prior to 1891 the pro
duction of oleomargarine Increased from
21,513,537 pounds in 1S87 to 69.622.210 pounds
In 1894. The ? decrease since 1894 Is nwlnty
attributable io the hostile state legislation
cutting off the privilege of sale as well as
that of manufacture. Further legislation
along this line' fs'expected to cause a crm-
tlnued decrca'so In' the production. The num
ber of manufictorre.3 decreased from twenty-
two Iiv 1896 tp sixteen In 1897. The number
of wholesale 'establishments from 157 to 10.1
and the number of retail houses from 4,3SO
to 3,539. Thp quality exported during the
year amounted to 3,148,407 pounds , which Is
a slight Increase over the year lS9p. -

to heading the list in the manufacture of
oleomargarine , Illinois consumes fully gno-
thlrd of what It makes. In the state there
are 1,06 ! > retail establishments. Ohio Is the
second state In the use of the product and
Pennsylvania third. The District of Colum
bia Is credited with two wholesale establish

proval went up from the delegates who did
not propose to have Mel Rodfleld forced
down their throats If they could help It.
There was a vociferous vote each way on
the ( jucstion and It was found necessary to
call the roll. A moro farcical proceeding
than this could not bo Imagined. There
were scarcely thirty delegates In the room ,
hut Dunn's motion , was declared carried by
131 to 41. In many cases whole delegations
had gone homo , but the entire vote was
cast by the machine delegates In favor of the
endorsement.
The selections ot candidates for the minor

one. or two cases In which thcro was a con

NRW YOHK , Oct. 3. The Journal tomor
row will publish the following :
Edward Ilnnlon , the successful manager of
the Baltimore. ? , was recently the recipient
of the most astonlahlnK offer In the history
of professional basu ball. The owners of the
Plttsburg club , which has had poor success
In the pennant fight for some years past , de
sired to secure the services of the great
Baltimore malinger. They offered him a
contract calling for $12.000 a year and n
quarter interest In the club , In fact II. H.
Vonderbunst , pnrt owner In the Baltimore
club , said If Hanlon left the club ho ( Vender-
burst ) would Bell out. Falling to secure
Itanlon , the Plttsburgers engaged W. II.
Watklns of Indianapolis , who -vas manager
ot the champion IJetrolts when Halon ( was
center fielder amd captain.
The owners of the Philadelphia club also
made an effort to cngaRo Hanlon , but with
out success. Hanlon , who was at Hoboken
today , said so far as ho knew the Orioles
would start the season ot IS'JS the same n3
at present. Ho was disappointed nt his
failure to win four successive pennants , but
said the finish was so close It was no disgrace
to como second. Ilo felt that but for the un
paralleled list of Injured players In the early
part of the season ho would have had a safe
lead at the close. He paid a tribute to the
ability of Kid Nichols , tbo Boston pitcher.

heartbroken over 'he affair and can give no
definite explanation of It. lie says he was
standing on the hilltop at Thirty-fifth and
Jones streets with the rifle and that a num
ber of boys were around him. He had partly
turned his head and body to look down the
hill , ho says , when the discharge occurred
and ho saw the Wllg boy fall. He ran im
mediately to the engine house nearby and
obtained help and the wounded child was
carried home.

Yesterday the Milwaukee sent Its first
through tourist sleeping car over the "Mid
land Itouto" fiom Chicago to the Paclflo
coast. Foi Homo time past the olllefala of
the big road have been ( Inuring upon com
peting with the other transcontinental lines
for the Chicago-San Francisco through
IHUsonger business , anil the Kchcmo wta
brought to a successful completion with the
advent of the first car In Omaha ycaterday.
Tim road placed a standard Pullman Hieeper
upon the Chicago-Denver run September 12
and the business derived from this venture
paid BO well that the company was led to
further extend Its business.
Thn 'Frisco car left Chicago Saturday
night ut 10 o'clock on passenger train No.

Kvery berth In the ( deeper was taken ycii-

from the beginning.
This is what
a prominent physician says : "I
have given my own children the
benefit of very careful study in
the matter of absolute cleanli-l
ness in bottle feeding. I havej
studied the so-called easily- }
cleaned nursing bottles , and I
long ago came to the conclusion
that a little Pearline would ren-
v der ordinary nursing bottles the
safest utensils of them all. I firmly believe that children
properly fed and cleanly fed will avoid the majority of the
difficulties which they encounter during the first two years of
life. I believe that if every feeding bottle was washed with
Pearline , many innocent lives would be saved. "
Surely , this is a matter to interest every mother. Nothing
GO thoroughly cleanses as Pearline.
