CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. . Nov 3. { Spectal )
The cotnmcDccmcnt of a suit licrc against
Miss Grace Howard , daughter of Joa Howard ,
Jr. , the distinguished New York journalist ,
liy Mrs. Millie Manoro for alienating the af
fections of her husband , Joseph Manoro , has
created a genuine sensation. Mrs. Manoro
claims $5,000 damages , and In her complaint ,
which is on nio In the clerk of court's offlco
IIEIO , makes many serious charges against
Miss Howard. In July. 1887 , Miss Howard
cst/ibllslied on Indian mission school seven
teen miles from hero , on the Cro.v crock
ami Wlnncbago reservation. After the first
two years the school , which had been named
Draco Mltslon In honor of Miss Howard , was
transformed Into a government contract
fcch ol. In the enlarging and expanding of
the school's Influence she always received
every encouragement from the offlclitls of the
Indian bureau In Washington and from the
ogont-y authorities. Her contract with the
government did not expire until June of th's '
jcnr. but at the solicitation of friends she
decided early In the present year to withdraw
from the management of tllo ocho-'l. The
blttnr fight waged in congress against con
tract schools had considerable. Influence In
lior decision. She Informed the Indian ofllro
that it the government w.is willing to buy
her school she wns willing to sell. Special
Agent Slater of the Indian department was
sent to Investigate and ns the result of his
report the government paid Miss Howard a
satisfactory price for her Interest In the
school. Shortly after Mlra Howard trans
ferred the Bchool to the government she pur
chased a desirable cattle ranch west of hereon
on the White river , and embarked In the
Btoci' Business.
Attornejs for the defendant have Just filed
Mies Howard's answer to the plaintiff's com
plaint She rays that In the month of No
vember , 1894 , she employed the plaintiff and
lier husband to do certain work and labor In
connection with the conduct and manage
ment of the Indian school then under her
charge , and that both remained there until
July 159(5 ( , when plaintiff left. She denies
nny familiarity with Manore , and dcclaies
It Is iintruo that he spent most of his unoc-
cu led time with her , but , thit on the
other hand he never spent any more time
In her company than any other cmp'oje at
Grace Mission , or any more time thin was
absolutely necessary In order to carry on
thef bralncss of the Indian school. Defendant
denies that she ever sought the company ,
companionship and association of plaintiff's
husband ; that she novcr furnished \ehlclo
and teim BO Manoro could take her driving.
Each time Manoro drove her to any place , It
Is asserted , It waa on business connectsd with
the running and operating of Graca Mission , erIn
In the performance of such duties as Manexe
wa employed by her to perform. Every
other allegation of plaintiff Is denied , ard the
defendant asks that the complaint be dis
missed. Tl-e cnse will be tried at the next
term of the circuit court , which convenes
In this city next month.
The Manores are old residents of the
county , and are well .known throughout th's '
section. Mis. Manore and her parents are
highly respected. Manore has remained In
the employ of Miss HoWard constantly since
November , 1894 , and Is now the manager of
her stock ranch. They are In town quite
frequently and l'a\e n wide acquaintance
linre. Prlir to accepting a position at Grace
lllsslcni , Manore was a farmer In this county ,
and ho and h'a ' wife lived happily together.
A separate suit has been brought against
him by his wife for support.

OHICAOO , Nov. 3. UoJIcs of three men
who ihad died by violence In lonely places ,
far separated from each other , were found n
few hours apart In Chicago suburbs and op
portunity for solving a trio of mysteries was
given to the police. In each oise the victim
has not been identified. Murder or suicide
caurcd their deaths. The cases are : Un
known man , body found near Wlnnotka , with
bullet In the heart ; dead dog beside It , also
with bullet in his heart. Unknown man ,
foiiti'l hanging from a tree near Forest Glen ,
Unknown man , found In a field near Sum
mit , on the drainage canal.
In the lonely swamp on ti.ie western borj ,
der of Wlnnctka the corpses of a man and
dog were fouivl by Frank and Henry Scries ,
brothers , who stumbled over the bodies as
they wtio passing through a portion of the
underbrush that hiss seldom been penetrated.
A rusted revolver lay on the dead man's
chest. Two chambers bad been discharged
and when the decomposed forms wcro ex
amined ono bullet wound was found in each.
A wound was in the man's ohest and op-
paiently penetrated to the heart. The dog
had been struck In thq side. The dead man
had fallen on his back , with his arms under
him. His dog had ben shot In the side
farthest from the man. The ground for many
yards around bore marks of trampling feet ,
03 If In conflict. The theory of the police Is
titat the animal was killed while trying to
defend Its master. They think the weapon
found with the dead man was his own prop
erty and that the discharged cartridges were
fired at the persons who were attacking him
The other two cases are supposed to be
suicides.

The aftcrnnith of the Union Pacific fore

Interesting problems. The transfer of the
property to the recelvera , tie * probable offi
cers of the company under the reorganiza
tion and the prospect for the building of a
union depot at Ninth an.l Farnom streets as
soon us the now company gets full swing
nro all live topics of conversation among
railway men and among other Interested citi
zens of Omaha. It Is conceded that the In
terests of Omaha could not bo hotter served
than by the election of S. II. II. Clark und
Celwurd Dickinson as the leading officials of
the reorganized Union Pacific Railway com
pany , aud the majority of well posted railroaders
readers here believe these will bo the men
selected. ,
Among the various propositions that nro
[ resented by the prospective clnnge In Union
Paclllc affairs mno is more Interesting than
the effect on the transportation of mllltaiy
troops and wnr material under the direction
of the Wnr department. Until the sile of the
governments Interests In the Union Pacific
lallvvny to the rcorgatilratlon committee on
Monday morning the railway company has
been a heavy debtor to the government. As
a consequence of this fact the government
did not pay for the bulk of Its transconti
nental railway business In cash , but merely
ga\o the road performing the service tredlt
on Its books. This has been the custom on
all of the bond-aided railroads , the chief of
which has been the Union Pacific. For the
tmnspoitatlon of men , animals nnd freight
by the War department the Union Pacific has
not been given remuneration In the form of
cash , but a1 ? It had already received most
munlflrent gifts from the government and
had to be content with credits for the service
rendered.
WAR DEPARTMENT BUSINESS.
This business has amounted to consider
able , for the reason that when the rates
offered by various reads for government busi
ness were anywhere nearly equal , the pre
ference has always been given to the Union
Pacific In , order that the road might work
out borne of Its debt to the government. For
the fiscal year ending July 1 , 1S97 , the repsrt
of the quartermaster of the War department
shows that the Union Pacific carried nearly
5,000 people and transported almost 17,000-
OOi ) pounds of freight for the department
For the fiscal year ending July 1 , 1S90. the
bond-aided roads ( of which the Union
Paclllc was the principal one used for this
class of transportation ) catrled 4 83S persons ,
1.270 animals , and 27,783,821 pounds of
freight. For the fiscal year ending July 1 ,
1895 , the Union Pacific carried 0,858 persons ,
1,049 anlirals and 20,247,633 pounds of freight
on account of the War department , aul for
tMs amount of transportation It received
credits on the books of the government
aggregating $208 129.98.
It will bo seen fiom the above statement
the Union Pacific has been giving the gov
ernment transportation of freight and pas
senger traffic amounting to from $200,000 to
$250,000 Per year without receiving any cash
return for the service pel formed. The gov
ernment had paid in advance for this service ,
the stockholders of the Credit Moblllcr , the
builders of the road , having reaped the prin
cipal benefit therefrom. Now there Is every
prospect that the re-organized Union Pacific
will have added to Us cash earnings from
$200,000 to $250,000 per year for transporta
tion rendered the government. This Increase
In the ready cash that will be available to the
new company will mean considerable , and
will doubtless pave the way for improve
ments all along the line.
NO CHANGE EXPECTED.
At the headquartcis of the Department of
the Platte , U. S. A. , in this city , no Instruc
tions concerning any changes to bo made In
government transportation via the Union Pa
cific have been received. The olllcers of the
department of transportation are Inclined to
believe that no changes will be made. They
aiguo that the Union Paclllc Is the most
direct route for all transcontinental business ,
end will still bo adhered to by the army as
lorg as other conditions remain the si me.
The probabHIty that the army will continue
to give prefeicnco to the Union Pacific for
the transportation of its bueliicts , as lei : _
as Its tatca remain the same as other raids ,
is stieiigtlicned by- the fact that tha Central
Paclllc , from Ogden to wlt'iln ' fifty-seven
miles of Saciamcnto , Is a bond-nlded railroad.
With the Central Pacific the government still
has a debt to work out , and naturally sends
as much of Its business via that Una as It
possibly can. As the Union IMclflo makes
direct connection with the Central Pacific at
Ogdcn , It may be easily seen that as long as
the government desires to give its buslnero
to the Central Pacific the Union Pacific be
tween Omaha and Ogdcn will como In for
about the same amount of shipments , and for
this transportation tlio Union Pacific will
from now on receive good golden dollars in
place of credits by the government's book
keeper.

The directors of iho Port Arthur Dock and

cided to build l Port Arthur the largest dry-
dock In the country. Thla dry flock is to be
oipablo of holding vessels GOO feet long and
will bo sufficiently largcoto contain , any two
United States crulsors. f There is no dry
dock on the gulf. The nearest dry dock is
one constructed by the jUnlttMl States gov
ernment at Port Royal , S. C. There Is a
dry- dock also on the Atlantic coast at Rio
Janeiro , but It can , hold vessels only 300 feet
In length.
The ? building of this dry dock will be a
nwtter of more than national Importance td
shipping Interests. So far as Us bearing upcn
naval matters Is concerned , It will bo re
membered that a short time ago the battle
ship Indiana sustained serious injuries. No
dry dock In the country was largo enough to
accommodate the Indiana , to she Iind to betaken
taken to Halifax , and the remarkable spec
tacle of a United Stateo naval vessel being
dry docked In a Brltteh harbor was pre
sented.
No other facilities exist on the gulf for
properly taking care of Injured \csscls or
for scraping them and repairing them prop
erly. Small vessels are elrawn up on ways ,
but no large vessels can bo repaired at all ,
Tha building of thin dry dock Is a private !
nftalr , and It Is to be paid for by the Port
Arthur Dock and Cl anncl c m any. Its bu Id
leg Is simply lai line with the vigorous policy
that has been pursued by tbe Kansas City ,

'IVlcpInmo htT\ Ins
Last week Mlle G. Kellog of Chicago 111
had Issued to him 125 patents In a single
day , possibly being the largest number of
patents ever Issued to oao individual at tro
same time In the world , and curiously
enough these 125 patents all relate to the
E-ama Invention and were practically Issue'
to cover ono device , a multiple switch
hoard for telephone service. Those 125 pat-
en3 ! cost the inventor In government fees
3'ona $1,375. The Inventor tituj now Usu.d
to him In these 125 patents 1,174 c'lilros
ivhlch gives him that many chances to EO-
cure the various parts of his invention if his
claims prove legal.
Thess patents were also very carefully
manipulated nrj the ( list was filed In the
patent ofllce as lorg ago as 18S7 , tliere bc'ng
tbreo of the Issued jiitents which were filed
more than ten yearn ago , so the Inventor
has had ten years protection within the
ofllce , and now gets seventeen years piotec
lion in addition by virtue of his letters
patent. Quito a number of the patents were
filed In 18S8 and 1889 , the greatest number
however , being filed during 1S30. A few were
lied In 1891 and 1S93 , the new a 4 application
being filed during 1895 ,
A great number of the patents , however ,
\\ere \ Issued "ri foreign countries , as early as
1S90 , notably In England , Franco and Ger
many , to tl.at according to the law these
patents at least will expire with the earliest
foreign application , so that some of those
features will ibecomp public property as early
an 1904
Contemporaneous with this moH prolific
Inventor appear the patents of Anna K , May ,
a woman Inventor of I'hl'adclphla , who baa
ten patents granted to her at one Issue for
dctlgns relating to carpets. This Is probably
I'lso the greatest number of patents ever
Issued In cue day to ono female Inventor.

CHICAGO. Nov , 3. Private Charles Hammond
mend , who WAS dragged ny his heels before
n summary court-martial nt Fort Sheridan
four weeks ago , on the orders of Captain
Lovcrlng to answer to a charge of desertion ,
will servo but half the sentence ImoofcJ
upon him then. Ho was sentenced by n court
composed of fellow soldiers of Captcxln LeverIng -
Ing to go to prison for a yeir at hard labor
nnd to forfeit all pay for this period , In
addition the verdict provided for the dis
honorable discharge of ( lib private. General
Brooke , however , has re > lewe > d the xerdlct ,
criticised It and cut down the punishment.
As mltlgatexl by General Brooke the sen
tence compels Hammond to servo In prison
only six months. Ills pay Is reduced by
(10 ( a month and there Is no provision for dis
honorable discharge , that being deemed too
severe by the commander.
In the review of the cafe the general said
the sentence was excessive. By this action
the stigma of dishonorable discharge will
not attach to Private Hammond and after he
has served six months he will bo restore J
to bis former t > oslton ! In the army.

The rent question will bo productive nf
more complications between the city nnd the
owners of the present city Jail. Notice has
been served by Hrcnnnn , Love & Co ,
representing the Philadelphia Mortgage and
Loan company , upon , tlio mayor and city
council toacato the premlsra now- used for
the Jnll. This notice to vacate was brought
about by the report of the committee on
public property unJ buildings In which the
demands of the company for a rental of J300
per month were refused. The city Is at
present paying $200 per mouth.
Speaking of the matter yesterday , Mr.
Brcnnan , ono of the local agents , said : "I
havn Instructions from the company which
1 represent to Institute proceedings of eject
ment against the city , and have already
Placed the matter In the hano of a lawyer.

nellVo shall keep the jail where It Is
until a now location may foe decided upon
We will then be ready to settle with the

PnOPHUTY IN BAD SHAPL3.
Building Inspector John II Butler , accom
panied by Couacllincn Burkley , Lobock and
Stunt , members of the committee on public
property and buildings , visited the city Jail
yestciday to solve the heat question.
The prisoners' quarters , together with the
court room and the boiler plant , were each
In turn given the attention of the party.
It was the unanimous opinion of the com
mittee that thehulld'ni ? and Its heating ap
paratus were in an advanced state of dilapi
dation , and the latter almost dangcious.
In view of these facts Inspector Butler
looked the walls over to ascertain If tliere
were any openings for stoves. A few were
found and it is probable tUU In event of the
boilers bulng pronounced unsafe that stoves
will bo set up in the Jail for temporary
Ube The exact eaudition of the boilers will
be ascertained within n few days , or as soon
as Boiler Inspector Charles Unltt gets a
chinco to look them over.
The committee stated tint the cost of put
ting in stoves would approximate $250 or
$200 , and that this system of heating would
prove twice as expensive as steam. Aa the
owners of the building refuse to taUo any
action In the matter until the city Increases
the piesent amount of rent paid , stoves will
undoubteJly have to ba used.
