The Supreme court of Nebraska has
decided that the law passed by the last
legislature taking the control of the
State Insurance department from the
auditor, creating department of insur-
ance, and placing the governor at it's
head, is unconstitutional. The law re-
pealed all statutes fixing various fees,
and substituted one fee for license and
one for filing Of statements to cover all
taxes except on realty. The license fee
was fixed at $50 for domestic corpora
lions and $500 for all corporations or
ganized outside of Nebraska. This sec
ton the court declares to be in violation
of the constitution, which provides that
every person or corporation shall pay
tax in proportion to the value of his or
her property.

KNIT GOODS
Department Opened In Local Store
Great Improvement Shown.

Amid all the great improvements
of the age, the attention given to the
dressing OF babies has not been so
much after the necessity of health
full and sanitary conditions of the
little ones, as the predominant wish
of each fond mother to dress her
child prettier than anybody else.
Especially is this feature noticeable
in the infants night wear.
But in Arnold's knit goods there is
embodied one of the greatest i'm
provements ever shown in the line
of children's dress. M. O'Neil &
Company have opened knit goods
department on the second floor. The
department this week is in charge of
Madam Borg, of New York, an en-
thusiast and advocate of mo: hy-
gienic dress for children,
The excellency and simplicity of
these garments recommends them
to all mothers, who long for some-
thing better than the old methods of
dressing children for bed.

MIGHT SCHOOL.
Almost 200 Pupils Attend
First Session.
Oruanization and Division of Classes
Three Teachers Selected.

The night school recently author
lied by the Board of Education, was
opened Monday evening in the as
sembly room OF the High school.
There were l95 prospective pupils in
attendance and all sec med to be in
earnest, insuring the success of the
school. There were several grown
men among the audience. The even-
ing was spent in organization, divis-
ion of the pupils into classes and
making ready for actual study. The
school will convene from to 8
O'Clock Oh Monday, Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings of
each week. Everything will be en-
tirely free.
Those who wish to take studies of
high school grade, will purchase
their own books, which will be fur
nished by the Board of Education at
the same rate as they are furnished
to day school pupils. The books for
all the common branches will be
furnished free. Mr.. L. r. Garbutt of
the High school will be principal,
and force of seven or eight teach
ers will be required, only three Of
which have as yet been decided
upon. Those already selected are
F. w. Dyer and John Taylor. j. F.
Barnhart will have charge of the in
structien in writing.
1t is expected that out of the first
attendance of 1856, the number will
gradually be reduced until there will
be possibly loo pupils. The large
number who have entered the move
ment shows a most commendable
spirit and an embition to learn
among those who have not had early
school advantages.

VICTIM
OF an Inscriptions
Pension Agent.
Strange Story Of Daniel Freeman's
Crjme-He Saw Service.


There is an interesting story back
of Daniel Freeman's troubles.
He is an aged colored man, who
resided in Akron for many years.
Last week he was sentenced to one
years Imprisonment for having been
convicted of fraudulently drawing a
pension from the government. The
old man seems to have been the vic
tim of an unscrupulOus pension
agent.
He drew the pension under the
name of Joseph L. Richardson, and
yet continued to go under the name
Freeman. He can neither read nor
write, and the puzzling question has
been how he ever managed to secure
the pension. There appears to be
little doubt that he served in the
army during the war of the rebellion,
for he describes some of the army
scenes vividly. He does not know
the name of his captain, however,
but declares that he is absolutely
certain he served in the Fifty
fourth Massachusetts colored regi-
ment.
On the instep of his right foot is a
large scar. He says be was wounded
| in battle. The details he describes
with great accuracy. The rest of his
statements are very conflicting. He
declares that he enlisted in the regi-
ment mentioned under the name OF
his former master, having been
Virginia slave at the outbreak of the
war. District Attorney Dodge, how
ever, produced the real Richardson
who served in the Fifty-fourth Mass
achusetts, and the records show that
he was the only Richardson who
served in the regiment.
The general impression is that
Freeman was Induced to apply for a
pension by some claim agent, and
that while it is true he drew the PEN
sion belonging to another soldier, he
was ignorant of what be was doing.
The way the fraud caSae to the sur
face was by Freeman applying for an
increase in his pension.

ticians have two sets of opinions
concerning Mr.. Hanna-one for use
in private conversation; the other
for public. 1t is amusing to note
the consequences when the private
opinions sometimes find their way
into print. If the majority of Repub-
licans who condemn Mr.. Hanna in
private but are afraid to say word

their private convictions, Mr.. Hanna
