A Biil Nye Relic,

Laramie Boomerang; The old base
burner stove, about which Bill Nye and
his Forty Liars gathered in years gone
by, was taken to-day from its place in
Grow * Holcomb's store, draped in
mourning, and now lies in state await
ing its final obsequies. The stove had
stood in one spot, without ever being
taken down or moved for any purpose,
for fourteen years. 1t was the shrine at
which the old gang worshipped daily and
n tightly, upon which they poured liba-
tions of tobacco juice and against which
they hurled stories so hard that they
would have broken a wall of adamant.
# the ancient and revered piece of hard
ware now relegated TO the scrap pile
could speak it could tell a story that
would surpass all the iictions of modern
times. There was some talk of boxing
it up and sending it to Nye at New
York as souvenir from the Forty
Liars, but it was finally decided TO let it
rest at last in the spot which was the
scene of its long reign in the past and
where it will be. neither unwept, an
honored nor unsung.

The scope of the Illinois conspiracy
law has just been significantly stated by
Judge Hawes of Chicago. The attempt
of the claim agent Of the Chicago city
railway to bribe a juryman was exposed,
and the agent was prosecuted, convicted
and sentenced to six months imprison-
ment. In rendering his decision the
Judge recommended that the grand jury
consider the question as 10 whether the
president of the railway company and
its attorney had abetted the. effort to
bribe, and stated that in order to find
them guilty it was not necessary to
show any positive or affirmative act.
However remote their connection they
could be held. Every state shoul have
such q law.

WE are promised al investigation in
our state university which will rival the
recent investigation at the Iowa state
university. The examination will no
doubt disclose a condition of petty jeal-
ousies, and cheap politics similar to the
state OF affairs existing at the Iowa in
stitution. 1t is unfortunate that the
usefulness of our state university should
be impaired by the existence of bicker-
ing ana discord among the faculty. 1t
is blight on the reputation
which state university ought
TO establish and maintain. But
such state of affairs is not new.
Every chancellor at the university has
been the head center of cabals and
cliques. The cause of this can be traced
to its fountain head. The university
has been made the battle ground of po-
litical factions and religious sects,
where favorites were rewarded and
enemies punished. There is but. one
remedy to lit the state university to its
true level. II must be purged from
political influences and sectarian con-
troll. Let the board OF regents apply
the knife 70 the root Of the evil.

For dull, off year, Omaha Is holding
her own remarkably well; in fact, as
compared with cities of equal popula-
tion, she is booming. While specu-
lation in real estate is not as active as
it was in 1887, the records show
very large number of transfers and
the number of new buildings under
way affords an agreeable surprise to
conservative people who early in the
year predicted a lull in the matter of
private improvements.

THE paving and grading contractors
are always very prompt and active in
pressing their bills for work, but with
few exceptions they always have some
excuse for delays and violations of their
contract. Half of the paving contracts
given out last year still remain unfn-
ished, and people are compelled to SUBJ
init to torn-up sidewalks and blockaded
streets. 1t seems to us that unless con-
tractors can justify their failure to come
TO time by reason of delays on the part
of the engineers, their contracts should
be cancelled and re-let by the board of
public works.

HAS HE KILLED 1T?
b. f. Smiths Chilling letter on the
Road to the Northwest.


TUE BEE some time ago mentioned the
fact that Herman Kountze had gone east to
confer with his brother Augustus in New
York and b. F. Smith, of Boston, with
view to ascertaining their ceilings toward
aiding in the construction OF the road to the
northwest. AT the last meeting of the pro-
iectors of the scheme, Mr.. Kountze presented
a lengthy letter from Mr.. Smith, in which he
said that he felt favorably inclined to aid
in anything which was likely to
tend to Omaha's advancement
but that he felt the road projected was not
such an enterprise. He feared that it would
always be at the mercy Of the larger roads
running in the same direction and that as
such, it would not be IA scheme in which he
thought he would like to invest his money.
The letter was IA dampener to the enthusiasm
of the projectors, who adjourned, subject to
the call Of the chairman, and have not since
met.

THE BURLINGTON coNsPlRAToRs

Sensational Developments In the Coarts-
Bowles Ccnfesses.
CHICAGO, July H.-Bowles, the man in
the conspiracy against the Burlington road,
against whom the most conclusive testi-
mony was given yesterday, has. it is stated.
made a full confession OF mis- share Of the
conspiracy. He saw, that in bis case. there
was little hope of escape from conviction,
and early this morning it was made known
to District Attorney Ewing that Bowles
was ready to "svueal" Arrangements were
at once made TO take down his statement
and he was conveyed to Ewing's Office 70
tell all he knows.
The case of Chairman Hoge and Murphy.
which was 70 have come up before Justice
Lyon this morning, was postponed for one
week.
1t is understood that Bowles has told the
prosecution facts which will make the con-
viotion OF Hoge certain. Hoge, it would
seem, Is the man they are really after, not
only as blow they wish to strike at the
Brotherhood. but because the real officials
dislike him personally. The other defend-
ants they are favorably disposed toward.
The text OF the "squeal' was not made pub
lie. but II is important enough to necessi-
tate postponement of the case before the
Federal Court as well as in the state tri-
bunal.
The crowd waiting in the Federal Court
room was again large, and chiefly com posed
OF Brotherhood men, whose looks of SYM
pathy, cast on the prisoners as they were
brought in, indicated their appreciation OF
the danger their comrades were in. Bowles
came in with the District Attorney and
took q seat beside him. opposite the other
prisoners. who cast yindictive and con-
temptuous glances at him. he was yisibly
agitated and moved restlessly in his seat,
keeping his eyes bent upon the floor. Be.
fore the attorneys for the Brotherhood had
a chance to interfere, Bowles, still trem-
bling. was induced by the District Attorney
TO arise quickly and waive examination.
A sensational scene ensued. Brother
hood Attorneys Donohus and David pro-
tested loudly that they had been trested
with great unfairness and given no show
from the very outset of the trial. LAWYER
David hotly denounced Commissioners
Hoyne, declaring: I'VE could expect
nothing else from this Court, and have re-
ceived nothing else" The Commissioner
ordered David to be arrested by the Marshal
but the latter did not at once comply, and
David subsequently, made Pickwickian
apology to the Court. Bowles was released
on $5 900 bail.
After Court adjourned, the heretofore re-
ticent Prisoner Wilson savagely denounced
Bowlss, ridicuIing the idea that the latter
was innocent AMI excl& ming, "chicken-
heart, he has laid down.
