LINCOLN . Nov. 10. fSnoelal.i Llnroln
have not yet ceased to speculate
"n the failure of Lancaster county to come
forward with the expected republican ma
jority In thr recent election. The republican
Bt.ato convention won held at Lincoln and the
republican slate committee headquarter *
were established here , all with the expecta
tion that Lancaster county republicans would
Jo their duty by the state ticket. How to
explain the ills-appointing returns la the dim-
cult question. Most of the political prophets
nro trying to throw the burden nf It on the
Ilaitlcy and Moore embezzlements and upon
i. great change In public sentiment with
rnspeat to corruption In public olllce. The
subject came up for discussion with a group
01 politician ! ) at one of the hotels last even-
' 'I ' ! . A Lancaster county man started off by
'trnuilu1 ? Hartley and Moore and charging
them with the responsibility for the slump
In rei.nbl'can ' votes In this county. "But did
not illartlcj cay that It ho could only avoid
trial In Omaha and secure n hearing of his
en BO at Lincoln nothing on earth could save
him from acqtlltal , or at least u disagree
ment ? " Inquired another ono of the men.
"That may bo true , " responded the first one ,
"but Hartley IB not aware of the clmngo In
inililli ! sentiment that line taken place here
of late. I knuw It used to bo so that no pub
lic thief could ever be convicted by a Lan
caster county jury , and that the penitentiary
and Insane asylum thieves were as sure of
Rotting off without punishment before their
cosre came up an they were that the sun
would rise. But I believe It would be differ
ent now. WP have had a taste nf thin our-
eelveo In the Cohb defalcation , anil If things
continue as they have It would not be safe
"or any odlclal culprit to rely upon nyni-
I > thy from Lancaster county. "
HORSEY AND THE LITTLE BOOK.
Tr'j latest testimony In the Dorscy ease
tiac all been In contradiction of the testimony
o * V. M. Dorscy. Witnesses have testified
tiiikt the horses In question were worth much
it < t.i ilun the value as fixed by Dorsey. The
iO'nr > who attested the signatures on the
nvoi'tb and the vice president or the bank
boil- testified that they never signed but
0113 report for a given date. Dorsey claimed
'Kat two blanks were signed exactly alike
r.id lie could not tell If those ho held were
tiDJe went to the comptroller or not. Logan
donlcd Dorsey's statement that IIP had ever
nado < i f iecial contract to pay Interest on
any overdraft , and said ho had paid no such
Interest , Logan also stated that the "little
book" which has played so Important a part
In the case was kept In u drawer near the
cashier's window and he had seen Doreey
with It In his hand. Dorsey claims to have
known nothing about the "llttlo boak" until
offer the failure of the bank. The testi
mony Is about all In and the arguments
will likely begin tomorrow. It Is now cx-
pcnted that the case will wind up with the
week. The Judge , jury and 'counsel nro all
worn out with the five weeks' strain , and
theio will be rejoicing when court adjourns.

of Ncwklrk , Old. , chiitns the government
owes thu Omaha Indians , haw not yet been
relinquished , In spite of the fact that the
commission of Indian affairs refutes the
validity of thu claim. Ur. Illntulln han
written a letter to councilman Fontencllc
and states that he will be up * oon. . to ad-
dret > s the council , bringing with him all the
necessary proofs , treaties , maps. etc. Ham-
lln averts that the story of Ur. Potter of
Maple City , Kan. , who asserted he had evi
dence of u J1.000,000 } claim which the
Omuhas held against tha government , !
Certainly a hoax. He gors on to r.iy In his
letter Ihat whatever Information Ur. Pjttcr
lus he got from a map of his ( Ur. llamlln'n ) .

also makes this statement very plain , that It
Is not $1,000,000 , but millions of dollars

'he presumption Is , although nothing of a

lon of li's claims , at least borne of them ,
eats on the strength of treaties made with

csslon of largo tracts of land In the states

BEATRICE , Neb. , Nov. 10. ( Special Tele-
Kram. ) A mysterious murder or BUlclde has
been discovered by the finding of the body
of n man near Klrth In the extreme north
east part of the county , yesterday nfternoon.
While William Klshor and Ilurt Uurcham ,
two young men , were out hunting on the
farm of Martin Klein they wine suddenly
upon the body. The place where the find was
mmlo Is four miles southeast of Firth and
about 300 yards from the A. & . N. railroad.
The body lay In a heavy growth of under
brush at the foot of n draw. Coroner Miller
was at once notified and reached the place
late last night , when n careful and searching
Inquiry was made. The remains are those
of a man apparently ubout 25 years old. nnil
It Is the opinion of Dr. Uoe , who accom
panied the coroner from this city , that they
had lain there about six months. Small par
ticles of blonde hair remained on the head
and upper Up.
The clothing worn Indicated that the
wearer was well-to-do and refined and con-
slated of .1 black suit , black beaver overcoat ,
white shirt , black stockings , pointed-toed
black shoes acid a black cap. The only thing
found In the pockets was a. white > jllk hand
kerchief and a Email black-handled pocket-
knife.
Two holes In his head corrcopondlng In size
to a 3S-callber bullet show how the man was
killed. The bullet entered the head on the
right side , n llttlo above and back of the car
and came out at almost directly the opposite
side. The body was found lying on I a back
and though a careful search was made of the
ground for quite a distance surrounding the
body , no revolver or anything whatever w.-u
found that might lead to an explanation of
the cause or llio Identity of the man.
The body Is that of a man about five feet
five Inches In height ; shows a well preserved
and excellent set of teeth and In every par
ticular to have been a man of good standing.
As there has been no one reported missing
from that section of the country , nor can anyone
ono remember having seen any one of the
description , the coroner has as yet no point
to start from In an Investigation. He brought
home wttli him the skull and hss ordered
the rest of the remains and clothing sent
here , which he will place In a vault at the
court house for future reference.

breach of promise case of Marie Darge
against Dr. George Haslam Is still on trial
ami progressing slowly , being hotly contested
on both sides. Owing to the- ruling of the
court that a recovery could not be had on
an oral marriage contract , which by Its
terms was not be to ho performed within
one year , and that the letters sought to bo
Introduced did not establish the terms of an
agreement to marry the letters were ruled
out. The plaintiff has produced cvldene
showing that she was first engaged to tin-
doctor In August , 1SM ! ) , at which time she
was but 15. the marriage to come off when
she was 16. The contract on which , on ac
count of the ruling of the court , she is
obliged to rely upon was made , she Q'-serts ,
at her father's residence In Beemer In April ,
1893. She testified that she and the doc
tor discussed the matter In the parlor , but
the door leading Into the dining room was
ajar. Her mother nnd ycunger sister swear
that they were In the dining room and list
ening to what was being said und heard their
mutual promises. The plaintiff testlfl"1 'hat
when she first learned , of the doctor's mar
riage to anotbrr sne was overcome with grief
and emotion , could not eat or sleep and fel :
ashamed to appear In public or go In s >
clety.
Dr. Maslairt was on the witness stand this
morning. His recollection o ! that Important
evening he spent at the Barge residence In
Bremer was rather hazy. He was positive
ho never made Hie plaintiff an offer of mar-
rlago which was accepted by her on 'that '
evening. Ho was not even sure he saw the
plaintiff at all cither that evening or the
next morning. He was very positive ha saw
plaintiff's mother and spent the entire evenIng -
Ing there , returning to Fremont on the
morning train , but Jr. regard to all the othci
events which transpired that evening ie had
no recollection whatever. The case will
probably be concluded this afternoon and
may be taken from the Jury on a proposition

AMUSEMENTS
The Julia Marlowe engagement , which ,
without being by any means the most pros-
I > 3rou3 on record , Is yet an appreciably
greater pecuniary success than that of last
season , and Insomuch a hopeful sign , was
continued vcsterday with two performances ,
"For B pnlc Prince Charlie" being presented ,
for the third time , at the matinee , and
"Romeo and Juliet" in the evening. The
moving Scotch play , with Its powerfully
drawn pictures of patriotism and devotion ,
unquestionably grows upon the auditor wltn
repetition , though It Is doubtful If any
amount of familiarity ctild dull the effect
of that great third act. "Homeo and Juliet"
likewise , old as It is . 'nil crowned with a
thousand laurels , is never seen and
heard without disclosing . one : Jildd n
beauty and yielding up a grain
of treasure hltheito uiiKiiown. es
pecially is the ancient tragedy fruitful
in new anl often agreeable experiences ivhen
the leading loles are In the hands of players
young , ardent. Intelligent , still In the for
mative or growing ntago of their develop
ment.
The salient features of Miss Marlowe'n
Juliet are well known to students of the
contemporary drama , and to thcater-goe s
geneially. Of necessity a youthful figure
for the requirements of the part and the
years of the artist arc not in this case
separated by the wide gulf which sometimes
yawns the nvld of Verona , into whose early
maturing childhood came passl.n , tcr.ow and
death , Is never suffered by Miss Marlowe
to lose her pirllsh charm. Herein same
critics have discerned the weak.iczs of the
Impersonation , which has scorned to the-.n
to lack strength. Should not the e icnes
of Its effectiveness rather be found In tils ! ,
that It represents a very child awakened
to wonvnhood by the fiery dawning of love ,
crowded over the verge of a dreadful catas
trophe and still bewildered and wondering nt
the suddenness and horror of It all ? It Is
dllliculi to realize such devastating woes
come sa rarely to children of 14 that Shako-
tpearo gave no more years than tint to
the heroine of this drama. The whole
tragedy Is consummated before the coming
birthday at Larnmas-tldo. moving "like the
lightning , "which doth cease to be ore one
can say , 'It lightens.1 " Young girls , evra

Influences which wrought upon young Juliet ,

Small wonder , then , that the artist who , In
Interpreting this complex character , tun.

death , Is deemed to have Invested the part

Miss Marlowe's company , as has been seen ,
Is subs-.antlally the same BH that which sup
ported her and Mr. Tibsr last Reason. Mr.
Kendrick , the now Ceadlng man , gained
many friends for his Borneo last night. Hu
has a graceful figure an agreDablo presence ,
a pleasant voice under good control , a facility
of gesture and an apparently adequate con
ception of the part , which time and his own
evident Intelligence will help him worthily
to carry out , Mrs. Woodward's fine abilities
arc hidden under Lady Capulct's saint
bualiol , and Mr. Hoe plays Mercutlo with a i
lisp which does not somehow eeem to belong - ]
long tn that valiant and reckless adherent of i
the house of Montague. . Mrs. Smith's Nurse
and Mr. Langdon's Friar Lawrence are both
admirable after their kind , The stage set
tings of this production are models of elegance -
ganco and propriety.

mirth unbounded and spontaneous , the action
crisp , not lagging , and the cast a strong one.
The production will be presented at Hoyd's
on Friday and Saturday nights and Siturday
matinee , with all the stage settings used
at the Herald Square theater.
"Tho Woman In Black , " which will be
seen at thu Crelghton , beginning with a
matlneo next Sunday , Is an exciting story of
New York life built on politics , love and
hypnotism , very potent factois nowadays In
current events and a combination , If prop
erly made , that ought to carry any play
to micceEB. The drama Is picturesquely
mounted and will be presented hero by a
company Including James Lackayo , Walter
Walker , Charles B. Hawkins , W. McCready ,
John McVeigh , J. F. Brlen. Helen Blythu ,
