SETS ASIDE THE OMEC WILL
Jury Holds the Signature to instrument
Not to Be that Of the Decedent.
THIS NOT LIKELY TO END LITIGATION
for New Trials in n Number OF
Cases Set for HeRring-J6dge
Refuses to Modify n De-
cree for Divorce.

The sealed verdict in the Christopher
omeg will contest case was opened by
Judge Macy on ~reconVening district court
yesterday afternoon, and, as had been re-
ported. it was found to be in favor of the
contestants. The jury held that the sigma
ture to the instrument purporting to be
the last will and testament of Christopher
Omeg was not his genuine signature. The
testimony on this point was most conflict
ing. In the event Of anew triar being de-
MED the case, it is said, will be taken UP
on appeal to the supreme court.
2 The motion for a new trial in the suit of
Jacob E. Thrush against Brigham Grabill
and others was argued and submitted yes
terday afternoon. Judge Macy ordered that
the plaintiff, who was recently given a YER
dict for $3.50, remit 500 of the amount, this
proportion representing the interest, other
wise the motion of the defendants for a new
trial would be sustained.
The business Of the term is practically
concluded and ar early adjournment is
looked for. Today the motion for a new
trial in the suit Of the Monarch Msnufac-
turing company against the motor company,
in which the plaintiff was given a verdict
for 5000, will be argued.
The motion Of the defense for a new trial
in the personal injury damage suit EFF Mrs.
Rice against the City of Council Bluffs is
also listed for argument today.
In the divorce suit of John Higgins
against Catherine Higgins Judge Macy yes
terday overruled the application of the
plaintiff for a modification, Of the the order
requiring him to pay the defendant $35. In
denying the application Judge Macy said
that If the plaintiff could not afford to pay
that sum he had better not apply for a di-
vorce, as the next thing he would probably
be asking for a premium for getting a di-

MR.. SMITHS STATEHOOD BILL.

Delegate Smiths bill for the ad-
mission of Arizona into the Union,
which has been referred to the
house committee on territories,
is very comprehensive document,
and bears evidence of Mr.. Smiths
great desire to cover all essential
points.
The second section provides
that not sooner than thirty days
and not later than ninety days
after the passage of the bill; the
governor of the territory shall
issue proclamation ordering a
constitutional convention. There
are to be thirty-six delegates IN
al, each county having the same
representation that it now has in
both branches of the territorial leg
islature. Thus the largest county,
Maricopa, will have five delegates,
while no county will have less
than two. Six months residence
in the territory is to qualify
citizens to vote for delegates.
The same qualifications will en-
title citizens to vote on the ad-
option of the constitution, subject
to the rules and regulations for.
mulated by the constitutional
convention.
The third section provides that
the delegates elected are to meet
at the capitol on the second Mon
day after their election, and the
convention after organization and
adoption of the constitu ton of the
United States, is authorized to
form constitution and state gov
ernment. The convention is re-
quired to provide by i,revocable
ordinance for complete religious
freedom; to disclaim all right to
unappropriated public domain ex-
cepting the lands specifically
granted to the new state by Mr..
Smiths bill; to. assume the lawful
debts and liabilities of the terri
tory, and to provide for the estab.
lishment and maintenance of q
system of public schools, free from
sectarian control.
The fourth section provides for
an election to be held on the
general election day in November
1902, at which the qualified voters
are to ratify or reject the con-
stitution formulated by the conven-

ing life insurance policy appli-
cation, recently, Mr.. Bryan was,
as usual required to give list Of
the sicknesses to which he had
fallen a victim. He was asked if
he had ever suffered from fever,
and if so, what kind. His alleged
answer was: "Yes, had two severe
attacks of the presidential fever,
followed by severe chills; but l
have fully recovered from both"
However, if the republicans and
gold bugs continue to debauch this
government, relapse on Mr..
Bryan's part is not entirely out of
the q uestion.

MEN;wHo GOT THE MONEY

The Washington Post presents
a complete account, showing all
the bounty money paid out to
those supposed to be entitled to
same because of services rendered
in the Santiago and Manila
compaigns.
Rear Admiral William L Samp.
son has drawn from the govern
ment in prize money $50, 1914,
and be expects about $4,000
more when the Maria Teresa case
is settled. Rear Admiral Schlcy
has drawn S149.53, and has been
allowed 1884, which is yet to be
paid.
Captain F. Il. Chadwick, who
was with Sampson, has drawn Sl4,-
026.0S, and has yet coming to him
Sl4 ,32l.59, in addition to what he
expects from the Maria Teresa,
Captain Cook of the Brooklyn,
and Captain Clark of tho Oregon,
who were in the fight throughout,
have yet received nothing, but
Cook will get 80, 1902, and Clark
Sl,989.06. Commander Vain
wright, one of the real heroes of
the war, vii! receive only S455.-
63. Rear Admiral Watson gets
only s1S.25,
Admiral Dewey, for his work at
Manila, has received in bounty
80, $40. about one-third as much as
Sampson and about one-half as
much as Chadwick, who was not
only not in the fight at Santiago,
but who himself testified that he
kept back an expression of con
graduation to Schley.
So here we have, the man who
fought and won the battle, allotted
less than one-seventh as much rs
has been paid to Sampson, and
less than one-fifth as much As the
sum allotted to Chadwick. Ii
these figures were not official, they
would seem impossible. Comment
is superduous. They constitute
the most amazing injustice in the
records of this government, says
the Philadelphia Times. Or of
any other government, for that
matter.
The Dallas Net0s adds that in
order to justify the allowances to
Admiral Sampson and his set, his
friends in high places found it nee
essary to discredit the man who
was really entitled to the prize
In order to secure his rich allow,
ance Captain Chadwick found it
necessary to testify for Sampson
and against Schley. The result is
most shameful. 1t is outrageous.
1t will go down INTO history that
| way.

by the boards of supervisors of
he several counties, and the result |
certified by the governor, secre-
tary and chief justice Of the ter
ritory. Then if the gov ernment
established is republican in form,
and all the provisions of the bill
have been complied with, the
President of the United States is
required to issue his proclamation
announcing the result Of the elec-
ton. And thereupon the propos-
ed state of Arizona shall be
deemed admitted by congress,
from and after the date of the
proclamation
The fifth section provides that
the state shall bo represen ted by
one reprcsenive and two sena tors.
The bill is unusually liberal in
land grants; because, undoubtedly,
Mr.. Smith holds that on account
of the lands in Arizona being arid,
congress should make q larger
donation than has been customary.
Also, he will doubtless argue, con-
gress should be liberal in tho land
grants because the territory had
no assistance whatever from the
federal government in tho con-
siruction of its public buildings.
The sixth section grants four sec
tons in each township to tho
state for the support Of the com
mon schools. Al, lands so grant
ed are to be disposed of at public
sale, the proceeds to form public
school fund, only the interest of
which shall be expended for the
support Of the schools. Then,
section eight grants one hundred
section for the purpose Of erecting
public buildings. Seventy.tivc
sections are confirmed by the tenth
section for the use of the univor-
sity. Two hundred thousand acres
are granted by the eleventh sec
ton for the use and support Of an
agricultural college. The twelfth
section grants one hundred thou
sand acres for the insane asylum;
one hundred thousand acres for
the penitcntiary; one hundred
thousand acres for the deaf, dumb
and blind asylum; one hundred
! thousand acres fer the normal
schools; two hundred and fifty
thousand acres for charitable,
penal and reformatory institutions;
one hundred thousand acres for
county hospital for diabled miners.
The thirteenth section extends the
provisions Of the "Carey Act' to
Arizona, which provides in effect
for grant Of one million acres to
tho state upon the same being re
claimed by irrigation. This sec
ton Of the bill is not important,
however, inasmuch as the Carey
act is practically imperative on
account of its restrictive provis-
ions.
The fourteenth section exempts
all mineral lands from the grants
above mentioned.
Upon the whole, Mr.. Smith is to
be congratulated upon the bill as
drawn, and every loyal citizen of
Arizona will fervently pray that it
may become law. Thus, if it is
passed, Arizona will be a full
fedged state of the Union before
this time next year, with all the
machinery of the state government
in operation. 1t is a captivating
vista, and is one to inspire the
redoubled efforts of our citizens to
achieve the freedom to which we
are entitled.

POISON PUT IN MEAL?
Several Persons on Mr.. s. ID.
Hatcher's Farm Made Sick.

By eating bread made OF meal
which is supposed to have contained
poison several negroes on his place
and two or three members of Mr.. S.
D. Hatcher's family were made very
sick few nights ago.
One of Mr.. Hatcher's negro tenants
sent for him few nights ago and in
formed him that his family the me-
gross had become very i'll from eating
bread, which must have been ICON
iured."
Mr.. Hatcher believing the meal con-
tanned some poisonous substance had
it taken up to his house to be fed to
the hos. But by mistake the cook
used some of this meal for bread,
which made three or four of Mr..
Hatcher's family and several servants
desperately sick. All of those affected,
however, are now well, though at the
time it was feared that they might
not recover.
The exact nature of the poisonous
substance and how it. came to be in the
meal have not been ascrtained.
