 Here and Elsewhere. ji

Lincoln. Neb., Dec. 5.-Attorney General Thompson Tuesday prepared a petition for filing in the district court of Douglas county asking re- ceiver for the National Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Omaha. The attorney general alleges ita liabjlities are s253!S43 and assets $11e,779. E. M. Coffin is president of the \tompany and J. l.. Mabie secretary.
 This company was, heavily involved in the big fire which occurred re- gently in McGehee, and it has a num- Der of policyholders in Pine Bluff. As it was a mutual company, it is quite probable the Pine Bluff policyholders may be called on to contribnte Toward making up the company's impairment. Isadore Friedman, for4nerly$~f this city. carried $5.ooo policy in this company which has not beeA settled. He suffered loss in the recent fire at McGehee; .a.ats4 ts,.;.; :. D..

 Finally settling the dispute over Is land 7e in the Mississippi river which has been in litigation since early in 1899, Judge Jacob ,Trieber Of the Unit ed States Circuit Court of this dis trict yesterday afternoon entered a decree holding the island to be por- tion of Desha county, Arkansas, and forever enjoining the Mississippi claimants from interfering with the peaceful possession of the Arkansas occupants. This island contains in the neighborhood of 700 acres of extreme ly fertile. land, which was at one time a part of Mississippi The river cut
 ting through made it an island and the main chanel of the river being on the Mississippi side it was temporarily abandoned by the former holders. -Af-
 ter a number of years people from the Arkansas side took possession of the island which threw the matter into the courts. The suit was brought by William Moore and J. s. McFerrin do- ing business at Moore &, McFerrin, who were the Arkansas claimants, against R. J. Mcclure, E. J. Woods.
 E. s. Woods and about a dozen oth- CTS, residents of Missississippi and claimants of the property as a portion of that state. The suit was filed in 1 the United States Circuit Court here in 1899 and finally coming to trial re-
 ceived a decision from the presiding
 judge that the property was a portion
 of Mississippi. An appeal was taken 1 to United States Supreme Court which recently decided to reverse and remand the case with such a decree
 as was rendered by Judge TriebeI 1 late yesterday afternoon.

Cigarettes may go in Arkansas on January 1 and again they may not, as some Little Rock dealers have deter mined to test the law, believing that it will fail in the higher courts, as similar laws have done in other states. Just now the local traffic in cigarettes is very brisk and the dealers expect 1t to remain at this terrific speed un- til the first day of the year. Instead of diminishing their stock the Little Rock sellers of the coffin tacks, have bought exceptionally heavy. to meet the twelfth hour demand.

TESTIMONY UNSHAKtN

Boise. Dec. 1S.fClarence Darrow, who conducted the defense of Petit bone. had Orchard on the rack two hours and a half today endeavoring to discredit his testimony. The cross eX- animation was rigid and effective in that the witness was pictured as an inhuman monster, a murder CT. big amist, a perjurer, q gambler. a thief. and an incendiary Profiting by the failure of Attorney Richardson in the Haywood trial to shake the testimony of Orchard, Darrow made little at tempt to make the witness contradict himself Twice during the day, did he try to confuse Orchard in regard to his testimony, but each time failed.
 Reading from the testimony in. the Haywood trial, Darrow endeavored to make it appear tbat the witness had changed his statement, but Orchard forced the questioner to read more of his testimony given before. showing that his testimony had been the same in both trials. Darrow laid particular emphasis in the fact that orchard was a criminal before he became acquaint- ed with Haywood, Mover and Petit bone.

THE BLUE LAW SUNDAYS
 OF MANHATTAN ISLAND
Lid to be on Tight and Sabbath will
 Become Part of City's Calendar-Va-
 garies of the Law-PIace for Boys

New York, Dec. Especial cores pondence Of the Republican.-Sunday will be Sunday in New York in future for a tune at least, and not the eXten- sion of Saturday night which it has been in the past. By the passing of a new Sunday law which Commissioner Bingham says he is going to enforce strictly, Father Knickerbocker will have a Sabbath as is a Sabbath, and one which even the old blue laws could not outriYal. The strict interpretation Of the law does not allow anyone to en- gage in pleasure on Sunday and not since 1895 when 40000 people marched the streets ia protest against the en-
 forcement even of the then existing laws has the city been so highly wrought up over the loss of its Sun day amusements. Under the new law Sunday will no longer be a day of amusement. Every theater, nickelo- deon and moving picture booth k to be shut up tight. Not even sacred con certs will be permitted. In short no performance involving the use of any kind of a stage will be allowed, and about the only thing left for the 100
 Uo0 residents and visitors who have previously patroniZed such entertain menHS on Sunday will be to go to church. In the words of Big Bill' Devery the burg will be a dead one on Sunday with nothin' dom '' There is considerable worry in many quarters as to just how the law will be en- forced. If carried to the extreme it would mean that at least half the city would have to reform or go to jail. The part. for instance. which forbids two or more persons with painted faces to congregate in any place could if strictly applied make liable to arrest thousands of women who assist nature with a touch of rouge. To match to see who shall pay car fares. to pur- chase soap after ten o'clack Sunday morning and thousand and one other things are barred. But there are many laws which are never enforced and while New Workers admit with humi- liation that they may have to go to Brooklyn for amusement on Sunday for time, there is a general hope that the lid will come off again before long.
 In spite of the fact that New York is the most expensive city in the coun- try, recent investigation has proved conclusively that it is possible for a man provided he is of good appear ance and possessed of some nerve to live very nicely here on nothing a day. This does not mean begging but secur- ing the necessities of life, together with luXuries. too. without the use of sin gle penny. A regular system indeed has been worked out by those who sim ply live by taking advantage of the various opportunities for getting things free. Commencing in the morning free shave can be obtained at any of the places where barbers are trained. A shine can be similarly obtained for in some places special instruction is given to would be bOOtblacks who of course must have practice. Breakfast meats can be obtained in any large de-
