It is understood that the city will take a hand in the exi>osition dilemma at the meeting this morning, which is to decide the fate or that noble pile. Mayor Pratt, with Aid. Miner, Dickin son, Harvey and Elliot, yesterday had a conference as to ths advisability of the city securing the property. There ks no doubt in the minds of these of ficials as to the importance of getting control of the institution, as it is- con ceded that it has been the means of bringing to the city hundreds of thou sands of dollars in two conventions alone, the Y. P. S. C. E. and the Re publican convention of 1892, but the question is how to get it. The city has not enough money to buy the big building outright, however desirable such a project might be, but if ar rangements can be made by subscrib ing half of its stock, and others con tributing part of their stock, the splen did hall may yet be- saved to the city. HELLO-)EI,LO. The Telephone kxchnngo Will Re duce Pnrty Line Rnten. Manager Christy, of the telephone exchange, has given out the welcome news that a new schedule of rates that has been under consideration for some time will soon be made pub lic, which will mgike sweeping reduc tions on all "party" line service. The reduction is to be made sufficiently large to induce a larger number to use that kind of service. This action is in line with that taken by other cities in an endeavor to offset all com petition rendered possible by the re cent patent decision ending the Bell telephone monopoly. Those who can be content with "party" service are to be offered generous reductions in the hope of greatly increasing the number of subscribers. He VMetl to Loan It. E. S. Case, a well*known man about town, of advanced years, and at one time a wealthy banker in North Da kota in different cities along the Northern Pacific, and at present en gaged in the grain business in this city, was locked up at the central sta tion Monday night by Inspectors Hoy and Lawrence, and is held there pend ing the investigation of a charge of alleged forgery. It is alleged that he secured some $30 or $40 upon a forged check, signed with the name of Nye, Jenks & Co., and passed upon a well known saloonkeeper. Mr. Case was brought into the police court yester day, but as the complaining witness was not present to swear out a com plaint, the case was continued u-ntil this morning, by which time Mr. Case's friends think the matter will have been settled Satisfactorily to all parties. He was arraigned in the po lice court and dismissed. All on Arbor Day. The park board's plan for superin tending the planting of trees in the school yards Arbor day has fallen through with, owing to the tardiness of the school authorities in answer ing the proposition. Supt. Berry did not receive the answers until late last evening, which leaves insufficient time to dig holes for planting. Several of the schools are making extensive preparations for observing Arbor day. C. M. Loring will deliver the address at the South side high high school, and Prof. Folwell at the East side. Each school will, as usual, be supplied with one tree for planting but President Folwell has authorized Supt. Berry to set out additional trees in the near future around sev eral of the newer buildings which are standing on the bare prairie with lit tle or no shade in the playgrounds. Shakespeare. Tid-Bits.

Mayor Pratt and his colleagues have addressed the following communica tion to the banks: , '.-' ; In carrying out in our city what is known as the Detroit plan for giving employment to the unemployed heads of families, by cultivating unoccupied land in various parts -of the city, . money will be needed to prepare the land, buy seeds and tools, and pay for practical superintendence.

In 1892 Mrs. Colby No. 1 went to Chicago and left her husband in Minneapolis, large ly a result of a failure of the two to agree. A divorce was broached while she was in the Windy City, but the agreement, it is held was never fuily consummated. Then Mrs. Colby No. 1 I went to Norway, and, while away, in default of her appearance, a divorce was granted to . her husband. Colby was in love with his typewriter, Miss Anderson, ; and when he was made a free man he married her. ' The result of the marriage is a baby about a year old, which was in court yesterday. I Most of the testimony on the stand was of a secret nature . and unfit for publication, the defense attempting to prove that Mrs. Colby was r unpro ductive. Late in the afternoon the cor respondence which passed between the husband and his first wife relative to the matter of securing a divorce was ■ placed in testimony and read. It showed that all of the overtures for , divorce came from Colby himself.; r "'. • The case will be continued today. If Mrs. Colby No. 1 is successful in her suit, Mrs. Colby No. 2 will be out c. hus band. Blixt'n Spiritual Guide*. Shortly after Claus A.

THEY CENSURE MORTON J And Claim the Scarcity of t Cattle Has Not Reached Its Limit. MORTON NEATLY TRAPS 'EM. Discrepancies in the Argu ments of the Combine Shown Up. OMAHA, Neb., April 23.— The Omaha Livestock exchange today censured Secretary of Agriculture Morton for his "erroneous" Idea, I which is at present working to the great detriment of the cattle inter ests of the country in creating a I wrong impression as to the relative I cost of cattle and beef. After reciting the manner of his investigation, this resolution was adopted: Be it Resolved, That we, I members of the South Omaha Live- I stock Exchange, call the attention of the honorable secretary of agricul ture and the country at large *to the fact that during the first three months of the present year cattle receipts at Chicago with a full corn crop in Illinois, Indiana and adjacent territory fell off 17 per cent as against 1894; Kansas City receipts fell off 13 per cen-t, notwithstanding a big increase in Texas shipments, and Omaha, in the very heart of the drought-stricken country, fell off 32 per cent on account of this shortage; cattle prices advanced from $1 to $2 per hundred as compared with a year ago, and the higher prices for beef naturally followed. With higher prices for beef and the press agitation on this subject, con- I sumption fell off a.nd cattle values | declined In consequence. We regard I this present depression in cattle values, however, as only temporary, as the indications are that the next three months of this year will witness a further reduction in available cat tle supplies of fully 50 per cent. We are satisfied that there can be no combine possible among the buyers in all the leading markets and the diversified interests represented oy them. CHICAGO PACKERS BEEFING They Talk; of KccklotiH Agitation Started by Morton. CHICAGO, Apiil 23. -The Chuayo I Live Stock Exchange today adopted a set of resolutions setting forth that cattle receipts at the four principal Western markets so far have been. I £70,000 head less than for the same | period of 1894, and, as a result prices have advanced, causing a correspond ing increase in wholesale prices of dressed beef. The resolutions de olare that exaggerated reports and false conclusions have been widely circulated ub to the cause of the re cent advance in prices and such "un founded reports have caused a de creased consumption of beefs result ing in a demoralization of the trade and consequently lower prices for cat tlc\" The ,Chicago Live Stock Ex change requests the public to withold judgment until the department of agriculture shall have thoroughly in vestigated the matter. It further pro nounces the present agitation "based upon the claims of conspiracy among large dealers unjust and injurious, and that the statements set forth are sub stantially untrue and that the whole industry is depressed thereby and that the Interests of the feeders and ship pers of the whole country are placed in jeopardy." It Invites the press to Investigate the controversy and give their conclusions the same publicity as has been given to reckless reports. PROOF OF THE COMBINE. Morton Sliotvm How Cattlemen Neatly Trap ThemaelveM. WASHINGTON, April 23.— Secretary Morton was shown the resolutions adopted by the St. Louis live stock ex change yesterday, deprecating the "agitation" about the alleged packers' combine, and attributing the reduc tions in the prices of live cattle of one I cent per pound In the !RiSt two weeks to such agitation, said that the very statement of the St. Louis "live stock exchange would lead to the belief that the alleged combine among the dressed beef concerns existed. "If the agita tion, as they term it," Baid he, "has caused a decline in the price of cattle on the hoof, why is it that a similar | calamity has not occurred in the price of dressed beef? It remains the same, and in some cases even higher. Their own statement, coupled with the price of dressed beef, answers their com- I plaint." NOT WITH BENNY. Some Kentucky It epabl len nn De- I clure for Sound Money. LEXINGTON, Ky., April 23.— The Republicans of Woodford county, Sen ator Blackburn's home, have met his ultra-silver interview with the most I radical utterance heard this year from the anti-free coinage ranks. In their convention to select delegates to the I state convention, they declared at length, In unequivocal terms, for a 1 single gold standard, with only one dissenting vote. Following is the full text of the resolutions: Resolved, That a sound and stable currency is one of the chief supports | of constitutional government and is absolutely indispensable to a nation's commerce, both at home and abroad. Civilized nations have long since adopted the metals, silver and gold, as the best foundation for such currency. Enlightened statesmanship has de creed that it was impossible to main tain the two metals on a parity, and that gold should occupy the higher place, and was the only possible sub- [ stantial basis for a national currency ' standard. Resolved, That we regard all efforts to force bimetallism and the unlimited coinage or the so-called free coinage of silver upon the government as fraught with dire disaster to na tional credit and to the material in terests of the business commupnity; and as Republicans, we pledge our in fluence and support to such measures r as will aid in the maintenance of the single gold standard as the chief cor nerstone of our national monetary sys tem. Only one man protested! and ne said he desired to go on record as a bi metallist. The actfon of the Versailles convei>ttoci has created a political sen sation, as it is a much more radical utterance than the Republican state convention was expected to make. It is considered the rallying cry of oppo sition to Blackburn and free silver, as it starts from the senator's home.' ■7 ' ""■ "WALLER A : GO-BETWEEN ~~" .. i . French Charge Him With Being a .^r.
