A Delightful Hop.

The young folks, and few of the
married ones, enjoyed themselves
hugely at the dancing party Monday
night at Concordia Opera house, imme-
diately following "The Creation"
Buses were in waiting after the con-
cert for the conveyance ofthe dancers,
and it was not long before forty five
couples of merry trippers were flying
about in the "giddy mazes" to the de-
lightful and inspiring music of the sex
tette from Bach's orchestra. Waltzes,
polkas, two-steps and the like followed
each other in rapid succession until
nearly 3 in the morning, and it was
the unanimous verdict that everything
was just as it should be. The young
gentlemen who arranged the affair are
deserving of much credit for their en-
terprise.

PROF. HUXLEY DEAD.
London. June 29.-Professor Huxley
died at 3:45 p. m. The end was very
peaceful and quiet. Professor Huxley
lived in almost absolute retirement and
did not take an active part in the affairs
of the neighborhood except to visit the
flower shows. His failing health became
noticeable in March, bronchitis followed
and then an attack of pneumonia. The
lungs and throat were affected. He
rallied several times. but last week he
sustained severe relapse and since that
time there has been no hope for perma-
nent Improvement. His wife and daugh-
ter were present at his deathbed, but his
son arrived too late. During his dying
moments Professor Huxley displayed
great fortitude and resignation. No later
than yesterday he read the papers and a
week ago he spent a brief period in
writing.

PLEADS FOR BOLLN.
The Defaulting Treasurer of Omaha has
Warm Friends.

Omaha. Neb., June 30.-There is much
discussion in Omaha as to whether or not
defaulting Treasurer Henry Bolln should
be prosecuted. The record shows that al
least $4,000 of city funds were missing
when Bollh was deposed. AS this was
made good by bondsmen and the city lost
nothing. some were for letting Bolln es-
cape further prosecution.
But most remarkable feature OF the
case was made public today when letter
from Acting City Attorney Cornish to
the mayor was printed. 1t is as follows;
Omaha, Neb., June 27.-George L.
Bems, mayor, city.-Dear Sir: In re-
Spouse to request for information as 10
your legal duty in the matter OF Henry
Boln, city treasurer, permit me 10 state
the powers conferred on the mayor ana
the penalties provided by law are intend
ed to subserve useful purpose and not as
a means of persecution. That Bolln has
violated the law is beyond question. 1t
should also be remembered that Bolln has
lived in this city for 30 years; that up to
two months ago, no man had better rep
utation for integrity than he, and no
official better record in the performance
of his duties than BOlln. If reputation
is TO avail anything, it ought to be in cir
cumstances like the present.
"Now he has lost his reputation and his
record in Office during a term of several
years is sullied. His property is all turn.
ed over to his bondsmen. His means Of
livelihood are suddenly cut off and his suf-
ferings are such as but few endure. To
attempt further punishment would look
more like persecution than the perform
ance Of duty.
"You should endeavor to disregard the
harrangue in the city council and the par
agraphs in the newspapers, all OF which
are so evidently intended to work up
sentiment favorable to various political
this fall.
'In the case of Henry Bolln there is
extenuating circumstances. There is no
evidence so far that any record has been
mutilated or falsified in the least. The
shortage of that office appeared in the
first hour Of investigation the same as
after thorough and complete investiga-
ton. There was no attempt to cover or
hide single act. Had Bolln intended to
steal. there would have been attempts to
cover and conceal, all Of which are lacking
in the case. Had such been his intention,
there is no reason why his shortage should
not have gone up into the hundreds of
thousands instead of what K really is.
II is now evident that not only the city
will not lose a dollar, but that Bolln's
bondsmen will be paid in full.
81 do not think Bolln should be prose
cnted."
No attempt has been made TO arrest
Bolln. II warrant is issued many others
must be. for many politicians are guilty
of participation in the deal.

HIGBEE ESTATE CASE.

Fort Worth, July Judge Harris
handed down yesterday what is perhaps
the largest judgment for land ever rem
dered in this country. In July, 1890,
Col. c. H. Higbee, one of the wealthiest
citizens of Fort Worth, died, leaving an
estate valued at about quarter of mil
lion dollars. He left will by which 1t
appears he undertook to vest all this
large estate in the hands of trustees to
be held by them during the life of his wife
and two daughters for their benefit, they
to receive only the proceeds from the es-
tate, and at the death of the daughters,
the estate was to descend to his heirs.
The two daughters instituted suit to. take
this valuable tract of land out OF the
hands of the trustees and to nave tne
will construed so as to vest absolute title
in themselves. Judge Harris, in his de-
cision, holds that they are entitled to the
relief asked.

date and its final consummation is due to
the efforts of Brewster Cameron, the well
known promoter of Arizona, son of the
late Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania
There is great rejoicing throughout the
country where the news has been COM
municated by wire today. Flags aIe
flying and it is conceded that it is the
most momentous event in the com
mercial history Of the Southwest. Tie
contract calls for 20 feet of water over
the bar by the 22nd day of January, 1896.
The final result is to be 80 feet of water
at the entrance TO the harbor. aud the
most prominent engineers in the world
have given opinions to the effect that
this can be accomplished within the year.

JUSTICE VS.. INJUSTICE.
Or Woman's Right Advocated by One Of
the Chosen Apostles.

Some of the women of our city were
much interested in the bond election ana
carefully read all that appeared in the
daily papers on the question.
Over and over it was iterated and re-
iterated that every citizen ought to vote
for the bonds. in justice to themselves and
their neghbors and the good Of the city
at large-said citizen being in this case
a property tax payer. and as a matter
of course property tax payer being a
citizen.
Turning to our Unabridged we leara
that a citizen is ''any native born or
naturalized person, of either sex, who Is
entitled to full protection in fhc exercise
and enjoyment of the so-called private
rights"
Immediately we become an interroga-
ton point. Are we not native born?'
And do we not belong TO one of g'he "either
sex" mentioned? And are we not on
titled TO full protection in the exercise and
enjoyment of the so-cal!ed private
rights"-whateve private rights may
mean? And are we not property tax
payers? And are we not interested? And
ought we not to have voice in matter
that so vitality affects our pockets, especi-
ally when when we receive just one-half
the pay that a man receives for The same
work?
Can these questions be answered except
in the affirmative? Then, why are we
not citizens. and why could we not vote
on the bond question?
We noticed an interesting item the
other day. 1t was stated that Governor
Hogg had pardoned some $50 criminals
from the penitentiary during his term OF
office. 1t was carefully explained, how.
ever, that some $50 of them were par
doned in order TO save their citizenship
and, from a mans standpoint, this was
the right and proper thing to do. II
