BERLIN, April 24.-The governments of

NOTHING TO SEE ON SUNDAY
People to Flock Into Grand
Island Just the

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., April 24.-(Spe-
MISUNDERSTANDING the announcement
in the local and state press that the presi-
dent will want to spend a quiet Sunday and
that the local committee has made every
effort that this shall be the case, there are
evidences that the entire country round
about is coming to the city on Sunday,
when the president will not be seen nor
appear in any public way. 1t Is learned
that in the villages and cities in the vicin-
ity every livery team Is engaged for that
day, the parties going to this city and the
local authorities are guessing as to what
there will be to entertain them. The local
committee has not endeavored to secure
rates and has discouraged, in fact, a gath
ering Of any kind on that day. 1t realizes
that It is unable to keep the people out of
the city, but it will max no effort what
ever, to provide any sort OF entertainment
excepting the most informal for the mem
bers of the presidents party only. All the
minor details have been arranged for. There
are saddle horses on hand for the presi-
dents ride and carriages for such of the
remainder OF the presidents party, the
press representatives with the train, as re-
ported by Secretary Loeb, and others and
the Elks' rooms will be thrown open should
any of the members desire TO spend a lei
sure hour there. Guards will be thrown
around the train for every moment Of the
presidents stop here, from the time OF ar.
rival on sunday morning TO the departure
ON Monday evening. The citizens have
chartered a special train for the members
of the Soldiers Home, to and from thu
city. Eight hundred school children will
be in line with flags.

bishop in Berlin, who. through the United

of the police order indefinitely, or its can
collation.. The foreign office, owing to the
number of cases pending, took up the sub
ject with a view of settling The status of
the Mormons for good, instead of being
bothered by numerous individual cases.
The result has been decisions of Prussia
and Mecklenburg to expel the
which course is likely to be followed by
saxony, where there are twenty-five mis-
stonaries, and by other states. Bavaria
some time ago decreed the expulsion Of
Mormons and they quietly left without

cision' has not yet determined what to do.
but he will endeavor to obtain a reversal
OF the policy. He afirms that the mission
aries never taught ~polygamy, never per-
suaded their adherents to emigrate and
always admonished obedience to the laws.
The members are discouraged from emil

INTEREST IN THE MILES CASE
Lawyers and Lnymen by
the Brilliant Array of Legal
Talent.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., April 24.-(Spe-
cial)-A considerable number Of the mem
bers Of the Hall county bar, though dis
interested in the case. watched closely the
presentation OF evidence in behalf of and
the argument for the motion for a new
trial in the Miles will case Of Falls City,
brought before Judge ]. r. Thompson Of
the district court. And apparently without
exception these members are guessing that
there will be a new trial and that the de-
| clsion Of the supreme court on the first
trial far from settled this case in which
about 81, 500, 900 is involved.
The presentation Of testimony and the ar
guments of counsel occupied four days,
closing with a brief statement by Judge
Broadly, the real closing argument, how
ever being by J. H. Atwood of LeavenwoTth.
The evidence presented by the contest
ants, as new evidence of such value as to
entitle them to a new trial and a different
finding by the courts, consisted Of that Of
Paul F. Gadsden, the lawyer at St. Louis.
who, in 1897, wrote the will for stephen
b. Miles and who later left the country
for Mexico; that of Thomas Cannon, with
whom Gadsden boarded at the time and
to whom he remarked that he had written
a will involving over 81, ZOO, 900 for an old
Nebraska gentleman; that of The two wit
nesses Of the will, and of another attorney.
with whom Gadsden at the time conversod
as to The particular will.
The defendants or claimants under the
old will. in whose favor the district court
found, which finding was affirmed by the
supreme court under the evidence then
had, based their objection to a new trial on
the claims that first the district court
was not the proper place to file the motion,
and had no Jurisdiction, contendlng that
such should be brought before the probate
court, and again that there was not suf-
hcient evidence to Justify a reopening of
the case and that the complainants had not
used the poper diligence in securing the
evidence for the first trial to entitle them
to the consideration for which they ap-
pealed. The evidence produced by the at
torneys for Joseph Miles, discrediting the
testimony, particularly of Gadsden and the
two alleged witnesses of the new will, re-
%iecting upon the characters OF these men
and endeavoring to show that the new evil
dence was all manufactured.
Upon the closing Of the argument Judge
Thompson thanked the attorneys, notwith-
standing the feeling there appeared in the
case, for the restraint that had after all
been employed and stated that when ready
to give his decision each would be noti-
fed in due time, that briefs might be
presented, ETC., and upon a query, re-
marked hat the case would not very likely
be decided before April q, or May 81, when
district court is convened at Falls City, in
dicating that he will give the testimony,
the arguments and the citations very
