To lie Tested In n Cusc Pending In the
District Court.


The courts OF Douglas county will soon be
called upon to pass upon the legality Of
the gold coin clause" in mortgage bonds
which have been executed in this as we'll

raised in a case now pending and which will
come before the courts in due time. The
case is entitled Helen VI. Hawkes. against
T. o. Tbsteter and others" and is an ordinary
foreclosure OF a mortgage. In the petition
the terms Of the mortgage are set forth In
full, including clause to the effect that
the principal shall be payable in gold coin
Of the standard weight and ineness re-
quired by the United states coinage laws.
The answer in the case was drawn by
Attorney Il. W. Richardson, a warm sup
porter, by the way, OF the cause OF Sound
money" 1t contains the usual legal
verbiage, but the important feature Of the
document is contained in the following
clause: III the words $1,000 in gold coin
contained in the bond and coupons set forth
In plaintiffs petition shall be construed by
the court to imply gold coin, lawful money
of the United States, then said contract is
discrimination against and in derogatiun Of
or in conflict with the act OF congress max
ing silver coin and United States notes law
full money and legal tender for debts and
In such case said contract, as set out In the
bond coupons and mortgage in said petition
Is against public policy and the court will
not enforce It," The answer concludes with
a reques, that the case be dismissed.

short time ago finished serving a two years
sentence at the state penitentary for steal
ing chickens, has been most brutally beat
ing his wife. and is to be arrested on a com
plant charging him with assault and
battery. He lives at 3511 Erskine street.
The occurrence upon which the complaint
is based. happened a couple of weeks ago,
but Mrs. MClbourne's face still bears the
marks OF the blow which her husband
struck Prosecution was decided upon
Sunday, when the wife told him that she
would no longer stand his abuse. She fled
from her house, terror-stricken by the
threats he made and appealed TO the neigh
bors for shelter They took her in and cared
for her, They are now in arms and
determined that the man shall be punished.
One of them accompanied Mrs. Melbourne
to the police court.
II is said that yesterday Melbourne was
dispOsing Of the furniture in the house. The
neighbors are ready to swear that the
property belongs to Mrs. Melbourne, as they
gave the majority of 1t to her. If 1t is
found that Melbourne has sold any OF the
stuff complaint charging larceny will also
be filed against him.
Mrs. Melbourne Is almost demented and is
frequently wandering in her conversation.
This mental condition is said to have been
caused by blow which her husband struck
with a revolver upon her head. This hap
pened before he was sent to the penitentary.

Asked whether the time OF "the Overland
Limited" would be shortened to any great
extent, General Passenger Agent Lomax OF
the Union Pacific yesterday morning said:
NO, there is no reason for doing so. The
changes that were effective yesterday call
for thirty or forty minutes longer in Ne
braska, but we will make up this time very
readily in Wyoming, where stations are not
50 near together. The new time card ap-
pears to be working very well, all the
trains being right on the dot this morn
ing We have been handicapped a little
lately by the late arrival of the
Overland Limitod.~ from the east,
buk the Northwestern is getting
it to us in better time now. The trouble
was, believe, that freight engines or light
passenger engines were used on some divi-
sions of the road. This has all been rem
edied now, and only the big engines or
selected engines of the smaller type will
now be used, so that we may expect No. !

Democrats Now Claim the state by u
Majority of 10000.

LITTLE ROCK, Sept. 0.--Never before was
such an overwhelming majority given any
gubernatorial candidate as that which
was on Monday given General Daniel w.
Jones, and never was such a large vote
polled in the state Conservative estimates
based on partial returns received now
places the total vote at 165 900, and give
Jones a clear majority over all oppositions
combined Of from 10000 to $1,000 The
figures are coming in slow and many
Democrats claim that when the back
counties are all In Jones majority will
run above 10000. Many counties in Ar
kansas have no telegraph offices and it
will be several days before the official re-
turns are all in.
Chairman Armstrong, of the Demo
cralic committee gives no figures, but be-
lieves the Democratic majority will reach
T,OOO. The Gazette, in an editorial, says
that General Jones majority over all OPP
ponents will reach $1,000, and may reach
10000. Out of the POI, 600 voters who were
entitled to vote the returns show that
10000 were polled.

asked that the suit be dismissed. The
action has been discontinued.
