SOME MINOR OFFENSES f Police Judge Archer Issues a i Couple of "Warrants. Duncan. tb Hamburg, I-t Mn who HM Bn ScrrlDC Loo JU Sentence. Ia Released Only to Be Ban In Again for Dnmkenneee Jake Miller Arrested for Disturbing" the Peace. From Monday's Daily. R. L. Duncan, the Hamburg man who was fined $100 by Judge Archer for shooting at a young cJgarmaker last Marcb.completed hia jail eentence ot seventy-one days yesterday and was turned loose. However, the fact that he was a free man once more and able to breathe fresh air, made him feel so good that he decided to celebrate by loading up on corn juice. lie eoon managed to accumulate a first-class jag, and when the officers found him he was lying on the goung near the B. & M. freight depot. He was quickly hustled over to jail, and, when he was taken before the court this morning Judge Archer found that the facts in the case made it his painful duty to tax him the sum of $10.10. Duncan, is now in jail, but has fond hopes that some of hia Ham burg friends will send him enough money to get him out. Police Conrt Notes. From Monday's daily. Mrs. Roaa Kopp appeared before po lice Judge Archer this morning and related a tale of woe in which she charged Jake Miller, a neighbor, with using profane and abusive language. threatening to do harm with a coup ling pin, ana otherwise conducting himself in a vicious and offensive man ner. The case will come up for hear ing tomorrow morning. Erna Mateer and Phil McCully, jr., got into a little scrap yesterday and it appears that the latter got a littls the worst of the deal at least his face shows signs of having been badly treated. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of the Mateer boy, and he will have a hearing this evening. The officers were also called to Happy Hollow yesterday to suppress a fight in which three boys had gotten into. However, before the officers could get there the combatants had settled their difficulties and "hiked." No arrests were made. Dearlojc Visits Beatrice. Dr. W. II. Dearing, formerly dis trict clerk of Cass county, was at Be atrice last Thursday. Speaking of the incident Walt Mason in the Lincoln News has the following to say: Dr. Dearing, Governor Foynter's nominee for superintendent of the feeble minded asylum, was in Beatrice Thursday seeing what he could see; it was a gloomy day; the rain was stream lng down the windows and sobbing at the door, and the wind was wailing mournfully; the doctor sat in the Pad dock hotel, with his feet cocked up on a radiator, and he looked at the dis mal landscape, and said tbat he doubted very much whether the tail should go with the hide, or be sold separately. He said in effect that there were moments when he didn't care whether school kept or not. He intimated very plainly that there are seasons when the game is not worth the candle. But just when be was moat despondent he was approached by his attorney, ex-Senator Murphy, who whispered words of hope into his ear, and he braced up and said that he would carry the war into Africa, or words to that effect. In thia matter he stands for reform and good govern ment. He firmly believes that our in stitutions are imperiled while Dr Lang is in effect. Dr. Hearing is a mild mannered man, who never scut tled a ship or cut a throat, and it is the impression in Beatrice that he will give good satisfaction as superin tend en t, should he ever succeed in be ing superintendent." Lost m Portion of tils Thumb. Geloen Price, who is working out on the farm of E. K. Parmele, spent Sun day at his home in this city, and while here he met with an accident which cost him a portion of the thumb on his right hand. His brother, Vernu, was having himself yesterday morning, and Geloen proceeded to amuse him self by standing back a short distance and snapping the towel at Verna's head just to see bow close he could come without touching him. He was enjoying himself immensely, when suddenly the towel caught the razor, forced it out of Verna's hand, and, in drawing the towel back, the sharp in strument came in contact with Geloen's right thumb, severing a portion of the first joint. Dr. Emil Weyrich dressed the injured member. Oldham to Nominate Bryan. ' A special from Lincoln to the Bee says: A meeting of the sixteen Ne hr&aka delegates to the democratic na tional convention was held here today behind closed doors. Mr. Bryan was present and a plan of action was de cided upon for Kansas City. W. D. Oldham, deputy attorney general, one of the delegates-at-large, was selected tn muka the soeech nominating Mr. Bryan for president. W. II. Thomp son of Grand Island was maae cnair man of the delegation; J. C Dahlman, national committeeman, and it. i-u Metcalfe, member of the committee on resolutions.

Those in possession of informa tion desired will confer a favor by giv ing the same to H. C. McMaken. WANTED A PLACE TO STAY. Landlord of tbe Perkins Hotel Secures a New Lodger. From Monday's Daily. At an early hour yesterday morning while Officer Fitzpatrick was making bis rounds on Main street, a middle aged woman, who gave her name as Lou Taylor accosted him and asked to be taken to some hotel where she could remain for the night. The young woman spoke in such a pitiful way that a tender cord in tbe officer's heart was touched, and he took her to the Perkins house, where she wa? as signed to a room. Later developments were of a rather surprising character. About 8 o clock yesterday morning she complained of being ill, and before the county physi cian, Dr. Hall, could be summoned she had given birlh to a babe. When questioned she refused to say anything as to who was responsible for her condition. She said her Lome was in Mercer villa, in the west part of town. It is evident that she will be a county charge, but up to the present time it is not known what the commissioners will do with tbe woman. A nurse has been engaged and Miss Taylor will be cared for at the Perkins hotel until the authorities decide what they will do in regard to the matter. NEWS BltlEFLY TOLD.

George L. Farley, Chairman. lias Asked Three Governors to Sign His Death Warrant. A dispatch from Leavenworth re ports that Taylor Cook, a convict in the Kansas penitentiary, under a sen tence of death for the murder of his wife ten years ago, has asked three governors to sign his death warrant. He seems to be perfectly sane, but when Governor Stanley refused, six months ago to sign the death warrant, he hanged himself by his handkerchief from the top of his cell and only the breaking of the handkerchief saved his life. Fifty-three convicts at Lansing are under the death sentence, but none of them wants to die. They regard Cook's attempt to secure a legal hang ing within tho prison walls as a dan gerous notion. It might establish an unpleasant precedent. A few of them try to argue witt him, but most of them look on him on!jT as a crank. No legal hanging has taken place in Kan sas -for twenty-five years. Cook is generally supposod to havo been insane when he murdered his wife. Her brother hnd his own chil dren write him sympathetic letters. He is a tall man, 51 years old, with a smiling face. -This week, for the first time, he consented to an interview. "I am in earnest," ho said. "It's no bluff. I want to be hanged. I would havo no home if I were pardoned. I don't want a pardon. Life has beon a failure with me and I want to die. I am getting lotters from people urging mo to live. A number arc from women interested in theosophy. There is no insanity about me. It doesn't pay me to live." Deputy Warden Thompson inter rupted: "What if I should come to your cell some morning and say: 'Tay lor Cook, here is your death warrant properly signed. Come on, every thing is ready.' " Looking the deputy squarely in tho face the old convict replied: "It would bo more acceptable than a par don. I am ready to dio. 1 wouldn't pay a nickel to get out." . FKHSO.NAL MKNTION. C. F.
