SOAP EATING PKISONKItS.
Omaha Crooks Kesort to a Desperate Rase
to Escape the Law.
From Monday's Daily.
The men in charge of the county
jail believe there is a carefully devised
plan among some of the prisoners to
escape long sentences in the peniten
tiary by the old prison ruse of "soap
eating," says the Omaha Bee. The
trick is one that has been practiced
from time immemorial by shrewd jail
birds on keepers and custodians hold
ing places of the kind for the first
time and consequently not versed in
the ruses of cunning prisoners. Tt has
happened not infrequently that attor
neys, judges and even physicians are
caught by the deception, and it is
thought that the prisoners in the jail,
having heard how easily men wearing
tho striped suits in the Lincoln peni
tentiary contrived to escape long sen
tences a few years ago by this raeanp.
agreed to try the same methods, secur
ing release one at a time until the
authorities learned they, haa been
duped.
By a few weeks of Insiduous soap eat
ing a man of strong constitution can
bring himself into such a 6tate physi
cally that he will have the appearance
of one in the last 6tages of consump
tion. Ii is easy to conceal a bir of
soap in an cut-of-the-way corner of the
cell where it will be accessible for an
occasional nibble when none of tbe
keepers are within sight. Gradually
the complexion of the soap eater be
comes sallow and bis Qeth dwindles
away. Then, if he affects a hollow
cough, only an experienced physician
can detect svmtoms that the man is
not a consumptive. When "once a
prisoner is sent to the hospital for
treatment it is an rasy matter to make
his "get-away," as an etcapo is called
io the vernacular of the prison.
Heer Poisoning Scare.
English beer-drinkers are in a panic
because of the wholesale poisoning of
people in the neighborhood of Man
chester traced to the drinking of heer
in which arsenic was presantsays the
Pathfinder. More than 00 deaths
have resulted from the poisoning and
over 1,000 persons are ill. The scare
has served to bring forcibly to public
attention the dark methods employed
by tbe brewers in the production of
cheap beverages. In these leers glucose
takes the place of malt and hops. This
glucose is manufactund by the aid of
sulphuric acid, which in turn is made
from pyrites mined in Spain. Tbe py
rites often contain iirrcnic and in this
case an excess of aisenic appears to
have been present. No one knows
bow much sickness and loss of life at
tributed to other causes has b?en pro
duced by mild arsenical poisoning
from this source, and English public
sentiment is fully roused to the sub
ject. Specimens of beer from public
houses contained arsenic in fatal
quantities, and thousands of barrels of
suspected brewage are being emptied
into the sewers.

OLEO'S HEAVY BURDEN
House Says It Shall Pay Ten
Cents a Pound if It Looks
Like Butter.
GE0TJ1 GIVES AN OBJECT LESSON
Box us Butter That the Solons Can't
Tell From the Ileal Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.
Washington, Dec. 8. The house
yesterday passed the Grout oleomar
garine bill by a vote of 19G to 92. The
substitute offered by the minority of
the committee ou agriculture, which
Imposed additional restrictions on the
sale of oleomargarine to prevent Its
fraudulent sale as butter, and in
creased the penalties for violators was
defeated by a vote of 113 to 178. The
bill us passed makes all articles known
as oleomargarine, butterine. Imitation
butter, or imitation cheese, transport
ed into any state or territory for con
sumption or sale, subject to the police
power of such state or territory, -but
prevents any state or territory from
forbidding the transportation or Bale
of such product when produced and
sold free, from coloration in Imitation
of butter. The bill increases the tax
on oleomargarine colored in imitation
of butter from 2 to 10 cents per pound
and decreases the tax on oleomar
garine uncolored from 2 cents to ?4 of
a cent per pound.
Couldn't Tell It from Batter.
A long and interesting debate pre
ceded the vote in the course of wuich
those who favored the Grout bill
claimed that the additional tax on col
ored oleomargarine was the only ef
fective remedy for preventing fraud
upon the public, while those who op
posed it contended that fraud would
be prevented by the substitute and
that the real purpose of the Grout bill
was to destroy the oleomargarine in
dustry. During the debate Grout had
brought Into the house a box full of
packages of what looked like butter.
Each was wrapped in brown wrapping
paper. The packages were passed
around and after they had been exam
ined Grout defied any one to tell
whether they contained butter or oleo
margarine. Then he turned up a cor
ner of the wrapping paper which had
been apparently carelessly folded
down and displayed the printed slgn
"Oleomargarine."
Everybody Down on Oleo.
Henry of Connecticut said that the
Hlegal selling of oleomargarine was
due to the great profits derived from
the sale of the Imitation, because of
its absolute counterfeit of butter.
Thirty-two states already had abso
lutely forbidden the manufacture and
sale of oleomargarine colored In Imi
tation of butter, he said, and this fact
proved conclusively the policy of a
very large majority of the people
against the existence of imitation but
ter in counterfeit form.
MORGAN'S VKItY SHORT SPEECH.
Concludes It and Teller Gives the Senate
Ills Views.
Washington, Dec. 8. The develop
ments in the senate in executive ses
sion yesterday in connection with the
Hay-rauncefote treaty were: An
agreement on the part of the senate to
vote on the amendment offered by
the committee on foreign relations,
providing for the policing of the canal,
on next Thursday at 3 o'clock. An
amendment offered by Teller striking
out the treaty prohibition against the
fortification of the canal when con
structed. The conclusion of Senator
Morgan's speech, and a speech by Tel
ler in opposition to the treaty. The
agreement for a vote on the committee
amendment was secured by unanimous
consent as the result of a request
made by Dodge. Lodge did not ask
to have a date fixed for a vote upon
the treaty itself, believing that the fate
of the measure will be determined by
the result of the vtoe upon the amend
ment. Morgan In his speech went over the
same grounds covered by him Thurs
day, saying he desired simply to clear
up some misapprehension concerning
his position. Teller spoke for about
two hoursi lie contended that If the
United States desired to build the canal
It should proceed to do so without
trying to secure the consent of Great
Britain. lie said that the opinion of
Secretary Hay that the abrogation of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was neces
sary as a preceding performance, aft
er all, was only the opinion of one
man, and quoted from public docu
ments to show that former secretaries
of state had differed In their opinions
in this respect.
Replying to Morgan, Teller expressed
the opinion that Great Britain never
would permit her resentment of In
dependent action by the United States
to lead her to begin hostilities, because
her material interests In maintaining
peace with this country are too great;
but be argued that to ask England's
assent to the construction of the canal
was to admit that that country had a
right to express its dissent. That posi
tion, he said, never would be accepted
bv the neoole of this country.

Would Like tfctter Train Service.
The people of Union, wheo they
wish to visit P.attsmouth and return
home tbe samo day, are compelled to
go around by way of Weeping Water
and Louisville, or "turn out" at 4
o'clock in the morning- and return
home at midnight. They are, natur
ally, not in favor of this slate of affairs
and are trying to induce tbe Missouri
Pacific officials to remedy the matter
by furnishing better train service.
The Union Ledger has tbe following
to say in regard to the present train
schedule on th it road:
"There was a time when people of
this corner of the county had reason
ably good facilities for getting to the
county seat, transacting their business
and returning- home the same day, but
a time card adopted a few months ago
knocked us out, and now we must go
"round the horn" or get out at four
o'clock in the morning for the early
train and get baj't home at m'dnight.
The afternoon train is of very little
service to us, us the county offices are
always closed befoe tho passengers
get to Plattsmouth. As for the west
ern part of tbe county, the Missouri
Pacific has not for a long time afforded
the people any accommod-uion in tbe
way of setting- to und from the county
seat. The t ain on tbe .Lincoln
("branch runs south to Nebraska
City within ten minutes of the
main line truii. two trains from here
to Nebraska City almost together
making a 'double run' the s me dis
tance as it is fr m here to P attsmoutr-.
The officials of the road no d ubt have
reasons for this "doub e run' to Ne

plained to Caj county people why the

turn here and run to Plattimoulh,thu3

H Tells the Commons What the
Government's Policy Is in
South Africa.
aUEREILLA WAE MUST BE STOPPED
Then Civil Government Charges of
Cruelty News From the Fight
ing Line Kruger,
London, Dec. 8. In the house of
commons yesterday, in pursuance of
an agreement reached by the Liberals,
that the government's explanations
were unsatisfactory. A. Emmett, Lib
eral, representing Oldham, moved an
amendment to the address to the ef
fect that it would conduce to the paci
fication and future good relations of
tne races of Kouth Africa If meas
ures securing the' liberty and property
of those who surrender and providing
for the future settlement of the ter
ritories be announced at the earliest
moment (possible. During the con
tlnuatlonof his speech yesterday Cham
berlain said the government hoped it
was hope and not prophecy that very
shortly, indeed before the house met
again, something in the nature of a
civil administration miight be estab
lished both in the Orange River and
the Transvaal colonies. Sir Alfred
Milner, he added, would be appointed
governor of both.
Liberal Ctters a Prediction.
Here V. Duncan, Liberal, a former
captain of the Aberdeenshire militia,
who recently returned from South
Africa wnere he went to look after the
remounts department when the war
broke out, interrupted Chamberlain,
saying: "You will lose South' Africa."
Continuing, Chamberlain said a lieu
tenant governor would be appointed
for the Orange River colony and that
both governments would have execu
tive councils, but not necessarily the
same constitution. Chamberlain also
said he had suggested to Sir Alfred
Milner the issue of proclamations in
English and Dutch, setting forth the
government's intentions, which were
animated by no vlndictivencss against
the men in arms. The government
thought it impossible that reasonable
men could ask it to fix a day when
full self-government could be granted.
Policy of the Government Stated.
The government had laid down three
objects. The first of these was to
end the guerrilla war. It would not
surprise blm if the Boers had de
stroyed more farms than the English.
Never In history had a war been waged
with so much humanity. The women
had only been deported for their pro
tection. The native population was an
swerable for the acts of proved out
rage of women and children, and it
had been shown that in no case had a
British soldier been. Justly accused.
The farm-burning was greatly exag
gerated. Lord Roberts had only sanc
tioned the burning of farms as punish
ment In cases of complicity in the re
bellion or damage done to the rail
roads. The government sustained Lord
Roberts absolutely. The government
was bound to leave discretion to the
military. The second object was that,
when pacification was accomplished, a
crown government would be instituted.
The third object was ultimate self
government. DRIVEN FROM DOME BV BOERS.

Sufferers from this horrible malady
1 nearly always inherit it not necessarily

remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
Cearance or a swollen gland in the
reast, or some other part of t!ie body,

eliminated irom tne dioou every vi-siagc
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep

When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following le'.terfrom Mrs. Shirer shows:
