Check Matter.

Check Matter.
w. W. Marsh, G. W. Wattles and w. A.
Smith, bcndsmen of Henry Bolln as trsas-
urer of the school board. have taken hand
in a suit brought by William A. Pax.on
against the Midland Stale bank. Paxton
brought suit 10 recover on certificate of
deposit for $4,000 assigned to him by Boln.
The three bondsmen allege that the $1O,-
600 was money belonging to the school board,
that Bolln received a certificate of deposit
for it as such and later transferred the car
tihcate to himself. Then, when the defal
cation was discovered in his office, it is al
legged that he assigned it to Paxton to secure
the latter who WAS on his bond as city
treasurer. The petitioners say that thsy d.
not know what the amount of Bollns defal-
cation as treasurer of the school board was
but state that they do know that it will be
just so much greater. and they will be held
just so much more liable if the $4,000 is
given to Paxton. Therefore they pray that
that certificate of deposit BE- declared the
property of the school board by the courts.

REPORT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Strongly Urges that the Fee System
he Abolished.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-The annual re-
port of Attorney General Harmon sent to
congress today shows that there has been an
increase in the number of criminal cases
pending In the federal courts as well as an
Increase in the expenses of the courts from
So, 1854, ,SaS in 1888 to $5,6 ,223 in 1895.
A strong argument is made for the aboli-
ton of the fee system. He says too much
of the time of the supreme court is occu-
pied by criminal appeals and suggests that
such appeals be dsallowed save in capital
cases.
The attorney general also calls attention to
what he regards as the growing abuse of the
writ Of habeas corpus and suggests that the
allowance of a stay by the supreme court or
one of its judges be required at least on all
appeals after the first. He asks for an ad-
dltional circuit judge in the Fifth and Sixth
circuits.
The Northern Pacific litigation has called
attention to the necessity of legislation to
regulate the appointment of receivers and
judicial sales of railroads, parts of whose
lies are in different states. He points out
the des!rability of the investment of
single court with entire control over the en-
tire property.
the solution of the problem presented by the
government relation to the Central and
Union Pacific railways, and as it may be-
come necessary or advisable for the govern
nenI " INSTITUTE proceedings against one or
both of these companies, he shows the
necessity Of law giving some court in the
District of Columbia jurisdiction of the en-
tire property and all Of the parties in in
terest.
He urges the imperative demand for the
erection of at least one penitentiary in the
southern states for the confinement Of con-
V!cts from the southern districts.

established by the opinion of the supreme
court in the Debs case are of the highest

Thursday evening John Mackin walked into
police headquarters and stated that he was a
private detective and had come all the way
from Indiana for the purpose of capturing
Vic McCarty and securing the reward.
Mackin bore the ear marks of farm hand
and the police at once saw that he was
dupe Of some so-called detective agency
Jailer Sheehan asked the young sleuth If
he had revolver about him. and the reply
was that he had gun, but had hid 1t in
the weeds down near the river. He was
told to go and get the gun and come back
to the city Jail and the police would furnish
him with good description of McCarty. In
about an hour Mackin returned and showed
the officers an old percussion cap horse
pistol. From his talk the police thought
that the young fellow was slightly de-
mented and he was given a room in the Jail

CINCINNATI, Dec. 6--Biliy Thompson,
who has taken the management of Denver
Ed Smith, announces his willingness to
match him against any man in the world
He laughs at Corbett presenting the title of
champion of the word to Peter Maher. He
says Corbett never held the title after his
failure to accept Joe Goddard's challenge,
losing 1t by default. Smith Immediately
fought Goddard and defeated him, thus OBJ
taning the Championship. Consequently,
Corbett could not present what he did nJt
own. Then Goddard beat Maher in three
rounds, and F't1smmons had already de-
feated him, SO Thompson says II is a farce
for the two men to be contesting for the
title. He says he will take on the winner
and in the meantime would arrange a
match between Denver Ed Smith and Jini
Hall. Joe Choynski. or any other heavy
weight in America, or would go to England
and take on Savin, Jackson or Joe Smith.

Yesterday afternoon Mayor Johnson dis
missed Officer Herman Tangeman from the
police force and appointed Albert Gary to
fill the vacancy? Some time ago Tangeman
had an idea that he had located Vic Nc
Carly, and instead of reporting the matter to
his chief. went to Omaha and tied up with
Chief Detective Cox. AS result four
Omaha slsuths came down here, and. headed
by Tangeman, broke into an old mans house
and demanded thai Vic be produced. AS
Vic was not there, the Omaha detectives
and Tangeman lsneaked out, after doing their
best to square" themselves with the old
man. Shortly after this affair Tangeman
was reported f6r breaking a red light which
protected water works trench over in
Brown park. When the watchman remon-
strated Tangemans struck him. Superntend-
ent Collins of THE water works company re-
ported the matter to the mayor, and the
case has been -thseeughly investigated with
the above result. Tangeman denied that he
broke the red light. but witnesses whom
the mayor interviewed stated that the officer
was intoxicated that night, and had been
requested by his friends not TO drink any
more, but to leave ths saloon and walk his
beat. The newly appointed officer. Gary has
lived In South Omaha for years, and has

HEAPING Goals OF FIRE.

Generous Treatment of Venomous
Writer by Lieut.. Governor Troutman.
During the last political campaign ].
W. Hagerman of Concordia made a
vicious personal attack upon Lieutenant
Governor Troutman through his paper
The article was obscene in the extreme.
Those who know the popular lieutenant
governor only laughed at its absurdity,
however.
Nothing was said about the article by
Governor Troutman but some of his
friends who noticed it called the atten-
ton of the federal authorities to the
publication. The result was that editor
Hagerman was indicted by the federal
grand jury for sending obscene matter
through the mails. The Concordia edi-
tor was not figuring on such a turn in
the proceedings and he was greatly sur
prised.
This week J. W. Tufts, the Atchison
attorney, has been in Topeka trying to
arrange to have the charge against Hag-
erman dismissed. He says Hagerman is
over 20 years of age and that a term in
the penitentiary would kill him. He
called upon Lieutenant Governor Trout
man, who generously interceded in the
matter, and it may yet be fixed up so that
Mr.. Hagerman may escape the penalty
of the law

There is Something the Matter with the
Street License System.
n. W. McAfee is still having trouble
about that street stand license. When
he found that he could not sell his cider
from the wagon with a peddler's license,
he went to the authorities and took out q
stand license.
Now the police say that he will have
to keep his wagon off the street while
selling his cider, for the ordinance says
that no street stand shall be allowed
upon the pavement 80 Mr. McAfes
doesn't know what he is to
do. One set of officials issue a
license for him to sell his wares
aud another set stop him. Judge Ferry,
w. A S. Bird and the police officials had
q conference over the matter, but the
case seems to be in as much of a tangle
as before. Some sort of ordinance is
needed to control street stands, or all the
street vendors in town would be spread
out on the pavements in the way of the
public.
Judge Ferry thinks that the ordinance
is invalid. A test case will probably be
made of it. In the meantime MIR. Nc
Afee can sell his cider if he doesn't make
a street stand of his wagon.

board of charities have made thorough
or complete investig alton of the death of
the old soldier, 81. M. Young, which he
had charged was caused by cruel treat
mont He says that he especially called
the attention of Governor Morrill, to the

from him in which he promised that a
full investig alton should be made.
In reference to the action of the board
Mr.. Wilson says:
81 wish to state that I met a member

would be had, and was not called upon to
furnish any testimony. The witnesses
having knowledge of the facts were not
summoned at that or any previous inves-
LEGATION and the investigation was not
thorough, as stated I am fully prepared
to esta blish the truth of every statement
made in nv book, and shall expect of

The scene is laid in Topeka Ever
since the opening of the play on Sep

sisted on playing the leading role, and
has consigned to her husband the part of
chief walking gentleman. Extreme cru

He says that during the past year and
a half he had been kept busy lodging
stones. clods aud clubs thrown at him by
his wife. That on May 9, 1895, or there
about, she threw several "rocks" the size
of a mans hand at him and accompan-
led the action with various expressions,
such as are best represented by dashes.
All of this embarrassed Mr.. Mcdowell
very much, as there were visitors pres
ent
After this it grew to be daily habit
with her and she slapped him with reck-
less abandon. Deeming that marriage
under such conditions is q failure and
that his life is no longer safe, he asks
the court to dissolve the bonds of matri :
mony and give to him their year old girl
when she shall become of suitable age.
He offers to pay for the child's keeping
until that time.
