Judge Dickinson han tienrd the argument
on the demurrer in the CrelRhton theater
foreclosure case in which A number at
Omaha capitalists arc conlendlng for the
possession , and a decision will be rendered
nome time next week. The CrelKUton
Theater company wai organized in March ,
1S95 , for the. purpose of building and op r-
ntlng the theater , and for that purpose It
negotiated a loan of $100,000 from the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance company. Tor this
amount It gave a note for $10,000 pa > ble In
fieptejnbcr , 1SS6 , and another for JftO.OOO ,
which was to run for a longer period. These
vvoro secured by a mortgage on the prop
erty. After the building wns completed It
was leased to W. A. Paxton , jr. , who op
erated it as a jopular-prlco resort with ap
parent success. Tor some reason , however ,
the smaller note was not paid when It be
came due nnd the insurance company be
gan foreclosure proceedings , contending that
the first default made the entire sum pay
able , as well as the llrst installment of
Interest , which was f2,7i > 0. A decree was
obtained for $105,000 , and jfter some ad
ditional litigation the property was sold to
K. W. Nash for $130,000.
This was no sooner accomplished than
John A. McShano nnd Chnrles Dalbnch , ns
stockholders In the concern , applied to the
courts to Interfere on the allegation that tha
sale was the result of a conspiracy on the
part of W. A. I axton , sr. , E. W. Nash and
others to got tbo property back Into their
own possession and freeze out the smaller
stockholders. It was asserted that an un
derstanding had been reached by which the
officers of the theater company -were to let
the foreclosure proceedings go by default ,
buy In the property at ninth less than Its
actual value , and then adjust matlorswith
the mortgagee by pajing the $10,000 note
nnd Interest nnd giving n now mortgage
for the larger amount. The demurrer of
Nash and the insurance company to this
petition is now before the court.
I.iiHt Jury of Hie Term.
Yesterday was the last Jury day of the
present term of court , and Judges SlabaugS
and Baker nro clearing1 up as many of the
emnllcr criminal cases as possible. Judgi
Glabaugh took up the Michael Wallenz cas > (
of alleged violations of the Slocumb law , and
Judge Daker is trjing Carl Bruner am
Frank Brown , charged with seining In Cut
Off lake contrary to the provisions of the
Nebraska game laws.
The latter case is n result of the efforts
of the local fish association to put a etoi
to the depredations of unscrupulous sports
men in the only water In easy reach o
Omaha that offers any Inducement to lover
of the rod. The lake was well stocked will
bass , croppies and other varieties by tb <
etnte fish commission , and for Borne time local
fishermen were Jubilant over the prospect o
good sport that was promised. But it wai
Boon discovered that the fish were beln ;
eeined by the wagonlond and carted lnt <
lown to bo sold. A protective nssoclatloi
wns organized last jcar which lnclude <
several hundred of the most prominent busi
ness men of the city and a strict patrol o
the lake was maintained for several months
nrunernnd Brown were among the first vic
tims of the surveillance , and it is now be
llevcd that the illegal fishing has been quiti
thoroughly.broken up. i > - < .

What purported to be a sensation llashc
in tbo pan In criminal court yesterday
A report that the bailiff In charge of th
Jury In the Marshall criminal assault cas
had been guilty of Indiscretion in permi
ting some outsider to talk with the Jurj
men came from the Apparent tourcc of tt
county nttorne > 's olllfo nnd created son :
comment In the corridors. As ? eon as Jud §
Baker heard of It ho summoned the Juroi
nnd witnesses into Ills private office an
made a thorough Investigation. This o :
tabllsbed the fact that the charge was ei
tlrcly without foundation nml the matti
was dropped. The bailiff In the case Is ti
official whom the county attorney Is ei
deavorlng to displace for a man of his ow
choosing , while Judge linker has taken tl
stand that the Judge of the criminal cou
has the authority to select his own officer.

Governor 1'oynter's action In signing two
111 * ) amending one anil the same statute
111 probnbly leave Omaha In its present
muddle regarding the election of a police
udgc. H may nlso wipe out entirely the
aw governing the election of ] tidgt , In-
ludlng those of the supreme court. Inas
much as a supreme court Judge Is to be
lected this fall this nctlon on the part of
Governor 1'ojnter may have serious results
The. two bills arc known as H. H 302 and
I. II. 413. The former was fathered by
lepresentatlve Dctw oiler. It repeals the
ntlre section of the statutes relating to the
lection of Judges for the purpose of Incor-
orating nn amendment providing for the
lection of ft police Judge In this city next
all nnd every two years thereafter. The
thor bill was introduced by Speaker Clark.
This also repeals the Judicial statute that
lie other does In order to Incorporate an
memlmcnt decreasing the number of
ustlces in Lincoln from three to two.
loth of these bills were signed by the gov-
rnor at exactly the same time , at 1 o'clock
. m. on April 1.
The resulting situation Is Intcrestlnglj
ompllcatcd. lloth bills , having been dulj
assed nud signed by the governor , an
aws. Yet they are directly contradictory
> ccauso neither contains the amendments
f the other. Being signed at the same time
either has precedence over the other ; con
conflicting statutes nnt
cqucntly they nre
ro legally nugatory , and neither thercfort
s law. IJut whllo according to the las' '
iroposltlon they arc not laws , > et having
iecn properly passed and signed , they an
aws , and both repeal the existing statut <
overnlng the election of not only the po
ice Judge In Omaha and the Justices of tin
caco in Lincoln , but also other Judicla
races , including Judges of the supreme
ourt. Both the new laws being uugatorj
nd yet repealing the existing statute leave :
Nebraska without any law providing for th <
lection of Judicial offices. This is tht
angle which results from Governor I'oyiv
er's failure to cxamlno bills before signing
hern. It is the Gordlan knot , which thi
ourts will probably have to cut.
AttonifjH i\lirc-n * Their Vli-vtn.
"I can understand now why Governor
Poynter vetoed the Omaha charter amend
ment bill , " sajs City Attorney ConneU Ir
ommentlng on the muddle. "Ho appar
ntly failed to esamlno Into the merits o
heso two bills and signed then
lecause somebody wanted him to. It
luch the same manner ho probablj
eglected to examine the Omaha charter bill
nd vetoed that simply because his political
ontlngent demanded that he should. An
xamination and investigation -would prob-
bly have convinced him that the proposed
mendments were solely in the Interests ol
oed and economical government of this city
nd he would have signed it. The members
f the legislature made this examination
nd investigation and the consequence was
hat the bill had practically no opposition
n either house , the populists even voting
or it.
"As to the consequences of the action o (
ho governor in signing both the Judicial
Ills I am not prepared to say on short
otlce. There is no question In my mind
hat both cannot be laws and they nre there-
ore nugatory. But whether the present
tatuto H repealed by these laws and
v nether the statute book of Nebraska now
irovldcs no provision relating to the clec-
ion of Judges of the supreme court and
ither Judges , I would not say without fur-
her investigation. It Is a complicated ques-
lon which must bo solved before the elec-
Ion this fall.
"It Is sufficient for the people of Omahs
o know that the careless action of th (
governor bos left them in the same oK
muddle over the police Judgeshlp. Th <
Btatute provides that the police Judge shal
> e elected for n term of two years. Th (
present charter saje that the police Judgi
ihall be elected at the regular spring citj
election every three years and therefon
ils term Is three jears. If the governoi
uul signed the charter bill the sltuatloi
would have been Improved , for the charte ;
irovlslon regarding the election of a pollci
udgo was repealed iby one of the amend
mentfa. I am not ready to give any fina
opinion on the matter , but my offhand belle
is that the present police Judge will legall' '
remain In office until next spring. HI
succefhcr will bo elected then and wo mus
iiopo that the next legislature and a mor
careful governor will give us some relief. "
Attorney General Smyth naturally doei
not believe that the governor's act will J <
more harm than to prevent Omaha fron
electing a police Judge this fall , and Llnco',1
from reducing tte number of Justices of th
peace. He cays :
"The two bills being signed at the sanv
time mo legally nugatory and consequent ! ,
do not legally exist. Therefore the presen
statute relating to the election of Judicla
offices will not bo repealed"

"Many people hud recommended Warner's Safe Cure to me and I made up my mind to try It. The result was beyond mv
expectations or hopes. Up to that time 1 had been In such misery lUat I would n ! ternately stand on one foot , and then on the
other to ease the pain , but before I had finished the first bottle of the Safe Cure I felt the change for the better After hav
ing taken live bottles In all a time covering perhaps as many weeks , the pain was entirely gone nnd I enjoyed the unsp n1uil > e
blessing of good health. From these facts , when people nsk me my opinion of Warner's Safe Cure , you cnn Imagine what my

Now if the render will lend me his ears for n mluulc 1 will say n few plain words suggested by the above loiter.
The complaint which gave Mr. Jacques euch nn unhappy experience was that form of rheumatism commonly called sclatlc-n
Few diseases nre moro painful nnd prostrating. Our friend has In no way exaggerated the torments vvhlcfh it Is capable f
Indicting. If tlie ancient Inquisitors , who sought to correct heresy by means of bodily pain , could have Imposed nt will tin
ngonles of acute rheumatism they might IIMVO spared themselves the use of the rack , the thumbsciew , the boot , nud others of
their nmlablo devices. For few men but would change their creed quicker than n wink to gut rid of this variety of torture
Now liere Is the point In n nutshell : All forms of rheumatism nnd gout nre caused b.v the poison known as uric ncld ; nivt
uric ncld Is produced In the suystem nnd retained there by a torpid liver. Paste this fnrt up on the walls of > our mennnv
where jou can fcee it nt a glnnte , as jou nro not HKely to get hold of any more Important Information this year
In other words , cure liver nnd Kidney complaint and you euro rheumatism , gout. Bclatlcii nnd most other kinds of nerve p.iin
And the agent to do It with Is Warner's Safe Cure. Tills shows why , ns I said at the outset , Uverlnnd Is n bigger country than

Two colored men have evidently made a
fair Income during the last six months out
of the benevolent people of the city , ac
cording to the stories told the police by
some of the very best business men. The
plan of the "workers" Is simple , and
: doubtless owes its success to that very
fact. One enters a business house or ap
plies at a dwelling for assistance toward
the support of a colored orphanage in this
city. He presents a certificate of ordination
as a minister nnd a letter from the orcsldent
of the Institution. Then ho proceeds to
dilate upon the good being done by the
orphanage , and the number of colored
children which are being provided for. He
usually collects at the tlrao the subscrip
tions are made , but sometimes calls a second
end time or sends in a confederate to get
the money.
In some way ono of these men managed
to secure the signature of Thomas Kll-
patrlck , who failed to pay his subscription
at the time , owing to a press of business.
When the second man came to collect it ho
was referred by Mr. Kllpatrlck to Mr.
Cow ell , who commenced questioning him.
Thn follow answered freely until asked re
garding the officers of the institution. Then
he stumbled. He did not know the name of
the president and did not seem very fa
miliar with that of the matron. He sala
the orphange contained sixty-eight children
at tha present time. This made Mr. Cow ell
moro suspicious than the failure to give the
names of the officers , so ho asked the man
to wait until be could telephone to some
persons about him. The fellow seemed
uneasy , but advised Mr. Cowell to call up
W. A. Paxton and ask for a "recommenda
tion of the bearer , " who wns mentioned In
the letter as Robertson. Instead of doing
this Mr. Cowell telephoned for Secretary
Laughland of the Associated Charities.
When lie stepped out of the telephone box
the orphanage solicitor was going out of the
door. He moved up the street rapidly and
disappeared In an alley. The next day an
other colored man entered the store ana
asked some questions concerning the caller
of the previous day. He did not tarry long ,
as lie evidently became suspicious.
The police arrested a number of colored
men Thursday night on suspicion , but they
were unsuccessful in securing tlie right
