The BEE. The railway press bureau says:
A promin ent railway Off cial who has just re-
turned from Washington brings the informa-
ton that Attorney General Miller has issued
an order to the effect that G.. M. Lambertson
must withdraw from the prosecution of the
alleged violation Of theinterstate mmsslon,
so far as the Burlington & Quincy railway is
concerned. Lambertson is lawyer of Lin
coin, Neb. In the recent Investigations by
the federal grand jury in this state he was
employed by the interstate commerce CON-
mission to assist the district attorney, and it
is said that he was especially active in pro
curing the evidence against the Burlington
by which the Indictment of Thomas Miller,
the general freight agent of that company
was brought about. The Burlington people
were indignant t-the part taken by Lambert
son in the prosecution because it happens
that he is the attorney of II. M. Lowrey, q
grain merchant of Lincoln, in a suit against
the Burlington company for S4l, 900, alleged
overcharges in freight rates. They in
sisted he was using the machinery Of the
United States court to obtain evidence
against the road to be used in the Lowrey
suit. The commission was asked to with
1t itrefused to do so. The attorney general
was then appealed to and he has made an
order that Lam bertSon shall withdraw from
the cases so far as they effect the Chicago

WASHINGTON, Dec, 19.-The house today,
after passing a District of Columbia bill.
took up the conference report on the bill
amending the. act for a division of portion
Of the Sioux Indians in Dakota into smaller
reservations. The only change made is the
authorization for the expenditure of an APP
preparation of 100000 for the purchase of
beef and other rations. In speaking of the
measure Mr. Allen of Mississippi took occa-
sion to criticise congress for doing nothing to
relieve the financial stringency of the coun
try and expressed his belief that the presi-
dent had done wrong and shown his little
ness in attempting to bulldoze the senate.
He quoted the remark of a lady fond of deco
rating her parlor with sculpture, 10 the effect
that she was going to secure life-size
statuette of President Harrison.

SENSATION At Y4NkTON.

Pension Fraud.

Pension Fraud.
MINNEAPoLIs Mimi, Dec. l9.-The Tribune
has special from Yankton, S. D., which
says sensation was created there today by
the arrest of well known citizen for pension
fraud. Early in 1851 George Weisle enlisted
IN the Fifth United States cavalry, served
his term, re-enlisted and received a veteran
bounty. After another year he secured the dis
charge papers Of one of his comrades, Charles
Loiller. Subsequently he came to Yankton
and has gone by the name of Loffler all these
years. The real Charles Loffler has been
doorkeeper of the white house in Washington
many years. Some time ago he concluded to
apply for pension, when it was found that
one was already issued in his name. The
secret service was put on the case and today
Weisle was arrested here. He has confessed

WON'T HAVE THE CORPSE,
A Very Unique State OF Affairs in a
sherman County Town.


A very strange state Of affairs exists in
Litchfeld, o little station on the b. & M.
road in Sherman county. Early in the week
a stranger sick with mountain fever came to
Mason City, Custer county, and died there.
The citizens put the body in box and
shipped tito Litchfield. The Litchfield agent
apprised his company of the arrival of the
gruesome freight and asked them what he
should do with it. He was instructed to turn
it over to the authorities for interment.
When he attempted to carry out his instruc-
tions however, the village fathers refused to
receive the body on the ground that they
were not authorized TO use the public money
for the burial of dead bodies furnished by
sOulless corporations and placed night
watch at the depot to see that the corpse was
not surreptitiously removed and placed in
some vacant house. In the meantime the
agent has notified the railroad company that
the depot is too small for two permanent oc-
cupants and that either himself or the
stranger must go.

SIOUX CITY, Ia., Dec. 19-T Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. The BEE was the only
Omaha paper that gave any news concerning
the appointment Of a receiver for the Pacific
Short Line, subject that has been of absorb
ing interest here today, Some Of the Sioux
City stock holders believe that the move was
taken by the New York men interested in
order to crowd out the local parties holding
stock Others think differently and say that
the appointment Of receiver will result in
strengthening matters out in short time.
Mr. BORROWERS first official act was to ap
point Donald Mclean general manager of
the road and the two then went on a tour of
inspection over the line Mr.. Mclean said
TO a reporter:
II know little or nothing about IL and do
not know who made the application
! am pleased TO know that re-
ceiver has been appointed, as IL will
now give me time to attend to the
business of the road. For some time past
have been chased on every side by creditors
OF the road. There was no money to pay the
claims and no way of getting it at the present
time. AS result the roads equipment was
being covered by liens and attached on every
side. In little while they would be taking
our iron. ties, engines and everything we
needed to operate the road In fact the cred
itors would have pulled the road to pieces
Now it is different. With a receiver ap-
pointed all claims will have to take their
usual course. There is the United States
court and in it they will have to be settled.
am pleased to see it, for it means peace.
The warning of factions and creditors has
had a bad effect on the road, and the ap.
pointment of a receiver will put stop
20 it,"
"What will be the result of the movel
Does it mean the sale Of the roadp'

soon as the money market eases up a little in

ing the funds necessary to set matters Alright.

tees which hc proposes to form are 20 coll-
sist Of workmen, or Of those sympathixine
with workmen, and q bishop Is to be al the
head Of each committee.

principle, but most Of the men controlling
Europe do not desire the truth.
