Political Potnonrri.

The Omaha World Herald admits
that business is improving. but says It
is a natural consequence and not the
result of any political manifestation.
Grand Army veterans are dying at
the rate Of a hundred u day. This rate
of mortality will increase as the
months roll by. In Il very few years
the pension expenses of the Govern.
ment will be a very light burden.
There is u good deal of humbug in
the statement that the present Con-
gress Is another "billion-dollar" Con-
gross. AS a matter of fact. this coun-
try has had a billiOn-dollar Con-
grcss. For example. the gross appro-
priations of the Fifty-fourth Congress
are estimated at $ 1.O4O,OOO.OOO. Inc.ud-
ed in this sum. however. is nearly
$200,O00.ODO for the Postotfice Depart
ment. practically every dollar of which
will be returned to the Government in
the shape of postal revenues.
The Director of the Mint in his au-
nual report has compiled a table show
ing the circulation of gold and silver in
the United States at the close of each
fiscal year since June 80. 1873. when
silver was demonetized. Probably there
could not be presented in any other
form in so small n space such a COM
plete refutation of the assertion that
the policy adopted by the United States
has been a%ntagonistic to the use of sill
yer as a money metal. The circulation
Of silver has been increased in the Uni.
ted States from Is cents per head in
1873 to 1881 per head in 1896, or a total
Of $628, 72s,O71.

Taking Good Care of the Farmer.

taxing 5000 care OF the Farmer
The Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House of
Representatives are, according to the
Chicago Journal, taking good care Of
the farmer. 1t says: Rates on cattle
have been advanced materially over
those in the Wilson law. Barley has
been put back at the Mckinley figure in
spite of the protests of maltsters. The
Mckinley rates have been restored on
fruits and berries to the d%ispleasure of
the fruit exchanges of the country and
the orange growers are to have greater
protection than they enjoyed under the
Mckinley law. In response to an urgent
demand the duty on hay will be advanc-
ed from 50 to 81 IL ton, another restora-
tion to the old figure, and 1 cent a pound
will be charged upon chicory. The Nc
kinlcy rates are re-established OH
breadstuffs. rice. dairy products. pota-
toes, starch. castor beans. tiaxseed,
meats. meat products. eggs, poultry,
vegetables and salt"
The Wilson Law Ruined Lumbermeu.
When the Mckinley law WAS up. as
also when the Wilson act was pending.
the lumbermcn, as a rule, were indif-
ferent whether a tariff was put on their
product or not. To-day they are almost
unanimous for Il high protective rate.
The reason is not far to seek. The lum-
bermen have been driven fairly desper-
ate by the stress of the times. Old and
well-establislled firms have gone down.
Fortunes have been wrecked. Firms
which are still hanging on find them
selves ovcrstocked with lumber which
they cannot sell at the cost of produc-
ton. The market has been continually
hammered down by dealers who have
been compelled to let their stock go ut
Il loss to save it from rotting on their
hands. or to enable them to meet obli-
cations which must be paii.-Butfalo

BUFFALO CHARITY PLAN.
Methodist Ministers Adopt 1t for
Their Church Work.

Methodist Ministers Adopt 1t for
Their Church Work.
TIL Methodist Church of St. Paul will
adopt the so-called Buffalo plan" Of
charitable and church work.
At a meeting of the Methodist
Preach rs association of st. Paul, he'd
in the Y. M. c. A. rooms yesterday
afternoon, this plan, which was pro-
posed at a previous meeting by Rev.
David Morgan, was discussed at con-
siderable length and was heartily in
doTsed by those present, several OF the
clergy signifying their readiness to en-
gage in the work, and Mr.. Morgan was
instructed to prepare map OF the city,
divided into districts, and at future
meeting the districts will be assigned
to or selected by the several Methodist
churches in the city. The scheme will
also be discussed at a meeting of the
Methodist Social union, to be held
within a few weeks.
The Buffalo plan is to district the
city and have each church look after
and become responsible for a certain
district; to take a census therein and
become acquainted with the people; to
relieve the want and suffering of the
needy to secure employment for the
idle, to accord friendship to the strang-
els anu " y iIlpdIDlHC Will IilC dlillNI-
ed. In Buffalo all the churches have
united in this movement, and it is-said
to be very successful there. In st.
Paul the Methodists will make the ex-
pertinent, covering as much ground and
doing as much work as possible, and
subsequently churches of other denomi-
nations will probably be called upon
for their cooperation.
Secretary Jackson, of the Associated
Charities, was present at the meeting
end spoke very favorably of the idea.
The movement is not destined to sup
plant the Associated Charities or the
Relief association, but merely to sup
plement their work and to conduct 1t
into a spiritual grave, which will I'M
doubtedly build up the membership of
the churches.
The Preachers association will visit
the university at Hamline Nov. l, on
which occasion the subject selected by
the programme committee will be The
Religions of China.

WOES OF THE HOUSEKEEPING.
Judge Bum VIII Struggle With
Them Today.

Them Today.
Judge Bum will clarity the atmos-
phere of doubt that hangs over the
Volkszeitung Printing and Publishing
company, at his chambers this after
noon. At 8 o'clock his honor will hear
two applications One of them, MADE
on the part of Receiver Tietz, is for
an order to show cause why Albert
Scheffer and his associates should not
be punished for contempt Of court in
disobeying it's injunction of Saturday
The other is the motion of Col. Schef-
fer to vacate the injunction. The de-
cision of the court on these app1ca-
tions involves the merits of the entire
controversy.
Col. Scheffer and his friends claim to
have discovered a hitherto undetected
factor in the case. That factor, they
say, is Col A r. Kiefer, who happens
to be one of the sureties on the bono
of Receiver Tietz. Col. Scheffer and
his sympathizers suspect that Col. Kie-
fer is burning with a desire to become
an editor, and that he aspires to sue
coed Col Scheffer in that capacity.
This. they say, must be aVerted at any
sacrifice. though it is not disputed that
Col. Kiefer can WELD the blue pencil
as gracefully as Col. Scheffer or any
other colonel
Col. SScheHer says he has no eoltorlal
ambitions AS trustee for the bond
holders, he simply wants to see the
Volkszeitung come out every afternoon,
so as not to forfeit it's franchise. In
asking to vacate the injunction, Col.
Scheffer declares that the building is
leased to him by the Decker estate,
that the paper has not issued bonds
to the amount Of $4,000, in excess of
the limit allowed by law, and that the
mortgage does not include any personal
Indebtedness of Lienau.

RAMALEY FAMILY ROW.
1t Is on the Supreme Court Tab for
Today.


The supreme court today hear argu-
mentS in the appeal Of Sarah and John
Ramaley from the decision of the dis
trict court in the suit brought by them
against their son, Florence, and his
wife. The suit involves some valuable
property at Lake shore, White Bear,
including the family homestead, the
pavilion and several summer cottages.
Tie plaintiffs had been managing the
property and operating the pavilion
business for several years, but being
unable to maintain the property and
pay the interest Oil the membranes,
and taxes and insurance necessary to
be paid under and by the terms Of the
mortgages, and being unable to man
age and control the property and COLI
duct the business necessary in the
operation of the pavilion property. eX-
cept at great loss, and being fearful
of losing, and being liable to lose, all
the property by reason of default in
the conditions of the mortgages, the
appellant, Sarah B. Ramaley, her hus-
band joining her therein, applied to and
requested the respondent, Florence w.
Ramaley to loan or advance money to
aid in keeping up said interest, taxes
and insurance and to make improve
ments upon the property, and repairs
to the buildings; and to take hold of
the property and manage the same for
them; and to secure him for any loans
or advances he might make, they con-
veyed the property to him, respondent,
Florence w. Ramaley, by deed absolute
in form, bearing date Nov IS, 1893, at
the same time entering into an agree
ment with him setting forth the terms
and conditions under which the PROC
erty was conveyed to and to be held
and managed by him,
The lower court ordered that under
this trust deed, there is about $4,000
owing to the parents from Florence
Ramaley and wife, which must be set
tied before the trust is dissolved.
The plaintiffs, however, insist there
was nothing in this trust agreement
which made it obligatory upon Flor
ence w. Ramaley to eXpend any money
in his management of the trust estate
nor was there anything which obligat-
ed the plaintiffs to repay to him any
money that he might advance in he
management of said estate but accord
ing to the terms of said trust agree
ment they could not obtain a recon-
veyance of the property without pay
ing him all the money that he had adj
vanced for expenses, repairs, ETC., to-
gether with per cent interest as pro-
vided therein. It is also claimed by
the plaintiffs that the judgment which
was entered is not in accordance with
the findings and decision of the referee,
j. G. Michaels and that no judgment
can be or ought to be entered except
the one which was authorized by the
conclusions of law signed by the ref
cree.

DIR. RoTHRoCK.s BILL.
County Commissioners Now Have
Seine Costs Added to 1t.

Some Costs Added to 1t.
Dr. j. L. Rothrock has sued the coun-
ty to recover $3.50 for professional serv-
ices rendered by him in analyzing sam
pies of the medicines administered by
the Rev. J @. Hull to his wife and in
giving expert testimony on the trial of
the minister, which resulted in the SEN
tence of the preacher to the state pris-
on for six years. The complaint in this
suit was read to the board of county
commissioners at the regular meeting
of that body yesterday. 1t aroused the
wrath of the county SOlOnS.
Some months ago, when DR.. Roth
rock submitted his bill to the county
commissioners, that body, being a trifie
in the dark on the subject of toXicology
and the research required to detect the
presence of poison in any compound,
political CT otherwise, measured DR..
Rothrock's services by the hour, as
they did that of laborers on country
roads. SO they resorted to mathe-
NAUTICAL process, whereby they cut his
bill down to $50. DR.. Rothrock refused
to "stand for it, and has appealed to
the courts for justice.
After the secretary had read the COM
plant, the board voted to refer it to
the county attorney for advice. Then
Commissioner MoritZ acquainted the
board with his views Of the real value
of Dr. Rothrock's services in detect
ing the presence of arsenic in the sam
pies, and advised the board to fight
the case to finish clear up to the SUI
preme court.
True to its policy of disallowing all
claims not reinforced by a technical
compliance with the wording of the
law and a double-riveted affidavit, the
board disallowed the bill of SIG pre-
scented by the United States Disinfect-
ing and Chemical company for cleans
ing the county Jail. 1t was conceded
that the institution needed renovating,
but the expenditure had not been prop
erly authorized.

KISSED HEB DEARLY.
Judge TwOhy Says McIntyre's Of
Tense Was sos Worth.


Tense Was sos Worth.
After due consideration, Judge Two
by decided thatakisses have no value
proportionate tor the age of the fe-
males from whom they are taken, and
yesterday afternoon held to a prece-
dent established1some time ago, when
the complainant was married woman
of thirty years, by imposing fine of
$25 upon H. J. Mcintyre, the Univer-
sity avenue barber, accused of forcibly
kissing Augusta Koempel, girl of
fourteen years.
The court remarked in rendering the
decision that the case had been difficult
of settlement, in his mind, as too severe
penalty might discourage the time
honored practice of kissing, while, on
the other hand, the salutation of wom-
an upon her lips without her consent
was beyond doubt punishable offense.
In SO doing a technical assault was
committed, and, as in the case under
consideration, the defendant had adj
mitted purloining several kisses from
Miss Koempel, it became the duty Of
the court to inf1ict a penalty. McIn-
tyre paid the fine and took his depart
ure from the court room apparently in
bordering frame of mind.

M'AVOY is HELD.
Thought He Stole That Diamond
Studded Watch.

Charles McAvoy, the pickpocket ar
rested as the result of a fight at a
Saturday night dance, was fined $40 on
the charge of disorderly conduct, in
the police court yesterday, and was
Immediately rearrested on the charge
of having stolen property in his pos
session. The latter charge grows out
of finding valuable diamond
gold watch in McAvoy's possession
and papers which the authorities say
may result in turning up a plant. -
The watch is costly piece of jewelry
with monogram initials on the front
case, and, in the information against
the prisoner, it is alleged to be the
time-piece stolen from A G. Barber
at the Metropolitan hotel several
months ago. Mr.. Barber is in New
York, and McAvoy will be held until
he can be communicated with
James Lee and George Ryan, who
were concerned in the fight with Nc

Judge Bum viii EndeaVOr to I'm
rayeI the Intricacies of the
German Daily.

The blunder Of County Auditor Sull1-
Van.-"the Little Lord Fauntleroy Of
the county attorneys Office" as another
county officer dubbed him yesterday
has resulted in the loss Of some $S,OO0
to the county for some time to come, If
not for good while longer. In other
words, the assessment of the stock
holders of the suspended banks, indi-
vidually for the value of their stock,
has been declared irregular and illegal
by the district court The county au-
ditor neglected to attach his seal to
the affidavit of Assessor Seng, as re-
quired by law.
Judge Willis, before whom the test
case was tried, gave his decision yes
terday. denying the motion of the
county treasurer for judgment and
finding for the DIRECTORS.
The county attorney asked Judge
Willis to certify the case up to the SUI
preme court, but Judge Willie declined
to do So 1t is understood that appG-
cation will be made to the supreme
court for a writ Of certiorari, bringing
the case up for review.
Judge w HIS lOC1Q llldl llle ctoSCSo-
ment was void because the sworn re-
turn of the county assessor TO the
county auditor did not bear the seal of
the county auditor as the law requires.
It was also contended by the DIRECTORS
that in reality the assessors books did
not show any proper or legal assess
ment of the individual stockholders.
True, they contained on the back
pages, the names of the stockholders
of the defunct banks, opposite which
were certain figures in column head
ed, number of shares, and opposite
which in an adjoining column were fig
ures purporting to represent the value
of those shares.
After receiving judicial information
of their mistake, for it appeared on the
trial of the case, that not only was the
county auditors seal not attached to
the return of the assessor. but the as
SCISSOR had not sworn to the return,
which was left in the auditors office
on July 4-these officials proceeded to
place the names of the stockholders on

of the Martin boy, and knocked the
youngster down, slapped him, and then
picking the little fellow up, lifted him
above his head and threw him heavily
to the pavement The boy was in
court yesterday and his testimony to-
gether with that of ]. F. Gehan and
Joseph Withers, who witnessed the as
sault, placed Fuller in a bad light. He
had no excuse to offer for his conduct
except that an ungovernable temper
had gotten the best of him, when tan
talized by the boy, and that he had
acted without thinking of the conse-
QuenceS.

AssEMBLYMAN CHANGING LONG
INGLY TOWARDS THE BUILD
ING INSPECTORS OFFICE.
HE WANTS KINGSLEYS PLACE.
EXPECTS HIS POSITION IN THE
COUNCIL WILL HELP HIM
GET 1T.
A. f. Gauger Wants to Break
Back.

Although the election Of a building
inspector to succeed William Kingsley
does not come up in the council until
the first week in January, the members
of the council are being buttonholed
by candidates for the position and
their friends. According to one of the
aldermen, there are something like two
dozen candidates for the place. Under
the charter the salary is fixed at $1,000
per year, but the council has reduced
the compensation to $1,000, although
with Republican incumbent it is
thought that the figures will be placed
back at the amount specified in the
charter. The inspector also has the
appointing of five assistants as the Of
flee force is now constituted, but this
can be increased, if the council so de-
SireS
Among those more prominently en-
toned for the position are Assembly
man NJ Gordon Craig, Walter Ife, A.
F. Gauger and Samuel H. Haas. As
semblyman Craig, owing to his posi-
ton as a member of the council, is
thought by those on the outside to
stand the better chance of picking the
plum. In reality, however, those best
acquainted with the councilmen say
that Craig has no chance to be elected,
as he has neither friends on the out
side or inside Walter Ife always has
and probably always will be candi-
date for the position, and this. it is
claimed, makes his chances exceeding
ly slim. A. F. Gauger, who held the
position for two years, is not making
much of a talk about his chances, but
his friends are doing considerable huS
ting, and those who pretend to know
what they are talking about say he
will receive enough votes to get the
place. Samuel III. Haas has the back
ing of the younger element of the Re
publican politicians, and will undoubt-
edly have considerable following when
the vote is taken.
Of the other score of candidates men-
toned but little is known, it being I'M
derstood that the successful one will
be among the four mentioned.
