ASPHYXIATED BY ILLUMINATING GAS

Sheriff B. A. Dennis of Culbertson , Hitch-
ock county , Neb. , w.is found lying dead in
Is bed at the Grind hotel , jestcrday
morning nt n o'clock.i
Ho came In Wednesday night to attend
he meeting of the Interstate Sheriffs asso
ciation. Ho accompanied tlio rest of the
Iclegates to the convention to Lake Manawa
n the evening , remaining only a short time ,
lo was back at the hotel a few minutes bo-
ore 10 o'clock and asked to bo shown to his
room , saying that he was tircu and wanted
o rest. Ho was taken to room 112,1.
About o'clock \ In the morning Day Clerk
5. J. Cook , who rooms directly over room
S3 , awoke and notlccd the smell of gas. Ho
naefo a round-up of the hotel , trying to locate
ho room from which the odor emanated. At
ast ho ple'Ucel out room 323 ! and pounded on
the door to awaken the occupant. Upon
'ailing to get a response ho went Into an ad-
olnlug room nnd illmbod across by the cor-
ilce to the window of the other room. When
10 got tnsldo ho found DeiinU lying on the
> cd. Ho had apparently boon dead for omo
.lino. .
Looked I.IItn n Suicide. '
In splto of the hot weather , which
caused most people In the city to
, ako possession of every brcczo that
stirred , Dennis had carefully closed
every window In his room uuon retiring. If
the window shad been open his life would
probably have been saved , but ns It was It
must h'uo taken the gas but a short time ? to
: lo the work.
Tlio fact that the windows wore closed led
some to bellovo that death had been premed
itated , especially when It was stated by
some of the sheriffs who had been with him
during the afternoon and evening that ho
had but llttlo to say to any one. This theory
was abandoned later on , and the bolicf now
Is that he noticed that the roof of the annex
to tlio hotel was on a level with the window
of his room , nml he decided that It would bo
unsafe for him to retire with ttic wlntlows
open for fear that some ono would rob him.
There wcro a great many of his actions
that showed that ho was not much accus
tomed to the ways of town life , and his lack
of oxpcricnro might easily have led him to
bo less careful in turning off the gas than ho
might have been. The theory now is that
ho turned ono thumbscrew and found it did
not extinguish the light , anel then turned
the other without having turned back the
first one. The two thumbscrews are within
a few inches of ono another , und it might
easily have been done in this way.
Dennis was known to very few of the
sheriffs who wcro present , but ho Is said to
bo a total abstainer , nnd it was noticed that
he refused to take any llejuor while out with
his comrades Wednesday night.
Wns Purely . \cclilcufil.
A coroner's Jury was cmpanclcu nnd nn in
quest was held in the afternoon. Judpo
Dcemer was the first witness called. He
stated tliat ho thought It would bo necessary
for n man to climb up into a chair iu order
to blow out the gas , and ho noticcel when he
went Into the room just after the alarm was
first given that there was a chair standing
under the gas fixture. Whether the chair
was put thuro before the discovery or after ,
ho did not know. E. F. Clarlc. G. H. Stein-

K. Davis anel W. II. Noyes of tho' visiting
sheriffs were called to testify as to the cir

no result from their work has yet
been made public. People arc growing im
patient. ns they have boon led through well
founded rumors nt timds lo suppose that
arrests would soon bo made in which start

tion suits which are popularly supposed to
have brought about the dynamite deal , have
olToctually" closed all the old saloons , but new
ones seem to be rapidly taking their places ,
and liquor fiows in seemingly plentiful quan
tities from many mysterious sources. The

wealthy , has been rebuilt , but these

her of "law and order" meetings have been
held , and many suggestions to raise funds
for rebuilding the ruined houses have been
made , but the very needful adjunct , money ,
has not been subscribed in any quantity that
would bo noticed. The belief that the con
spirators will never bo caught seems to bo
daily gaining ground , and rumor has it that
some of the detectives have given up the
chase. Houovcr , this is only rumor , and
the city is doing everything within its
power to bring the guilty to Justice.

Nnw YOIIK , June 15. The World will say
In the morning ! ] \Vhat \ Is vouchcel for by
those who should know as to the report of
the Corelago trust rcorcanlzallon committee
wns given out In substance yesterday after
noon. The plan , as printed , lllls two pam
phlet pages. It says that the National Cordage -
ago plant Is worth $15,000,000 , exclusive of
letters patent , good will and contracts
outstanding. It contemplates the float-
Ine of $0,000,000 in bonds nnd S,000-
000 In preferred stock. . Ono million of
the bonds will bo retained In the treasury as
working capital , with the amount raised by
the proioscd | assessment of 10 per cent on
the common und " 0 per cent on the preferreel
slock as It now exists. The floating debt of
$4,000,000 will bo retired by the sale of
$5,000,000 in bonds at 80 or 85. This plan has
received the sanction of all the banks Inter
ested. Two or three prominent bankers will
bo in the new directory if this plan goes
through.
Thcro Is opposition to the plan of reorgan
ization. Notice has already been given by
law firm representing holders of common
lock that their clients will not pay any as-
cssmcnts , and that an attempt will bo made
o get a majority of the holders of the pro-
erred to take the same stand , The , reor-
anizatlon committee , it Is said , has pro-
ided n way of elodglng this obstacle , by
tating In its plan that the old company may
o reorganized or a now comp'iny formed. It
s proposed , in the event of serious objection
o an assessment , that the creditors shall
ell out the present company and organize a
ew ono with the stockholders who nro wili
ng to submit to an assessment.
Judge Lacomb , In the United States cir-
lilt court , has Issued an order limiting the
Imo in which creditors may file claims
gainst the Cordage trust to August 13.

lomanism In America na Viewed by a Meth

Crltlrl e Itoinnn Cntliollc * ' AllfRlanco to
the 1'ope I'rlonthoml Ilccelvc * 1IU At.
tciition ttppllrn to rnlhcr Sherman
I'olltlcal 1'owcr niicuiscd.
The Farnam street theater was packed
rom balcony to pit last evening with people
, vho wcro there to hoar Hov. II.
D. Brown of lowau lecture en
'True ' Americanism. " After { ho crowd was
catcd the speaker announced his topic
s "Homainsin ns n PoliticalPower. . "
There was n largo number of la.dles in the
.udlcnce. . On the stage wcro fifty prominent
Itlzcns , IncludlngiMnyor Ecmis , Comptroller
Olson , Judge Baldwin , County Treasurer
roy , Sheriff Bennett , Judge Stcnburg , Hcv.
Mr. White anil many others.
As soon as the theater was well lllloel the
udlcnco was requested to Join In singing
'America ' , " The response was hearty.
Mayor Bcmts arose nnd said Om.ihn was
irovcr blal for her fairness , nnd was always
: cady to hoar n discussion of both sides of
my question. Hev. Mr. Brown was then
ntroeluccd by the mayor.
As Hev. Brown stepped to the front ho
ivas warmly greeted. Ho prefaced his re
marks by saying that it hail been nelvcr-
tlscel that he would speak on "Americanism"
and reply to Father Sherman. Ho said that
Mils was nn error , ns ho proposed to tell of
( omanlsm as n political power , and ho said
ho did not Intend to reply to Father Sher
man's lecture , "as ho had failed to
find anything" In that lecture that re
quired answering. " Ho assured the
Catholics that personally ho had nothing to
say against them , and that any man had as
good n right to bo n Catholic us another did
n Methodist , nnd to enjoy all the rights of
worship and religious freedom.
"I am not opposing Homan Catholicism as
a church , but as a political power. When a
church enters politics auel un'lcrtakcs to
elect ineif to office ami control the
entire political field , the public mind
condemns , " said the speaker , ' 'Itotnanlsm
is n political power. There Is no better
organized force than Romanism. It has
leudorshln , another thing that Is necessary ,
nnd It is carefully observed. When Mgr.
Satolll came to this country the diplomats
of foreign nations votcel that he bo admitted
to their councils. "
Tlio speaker then stated that the proposi
tion had been made that the United States
should send a legation to bo represented at
the Vatican , and he lnow It had aroused a
number of thef people.
I'otout I'ollilcnl 1'nctor.
'A political party always cast a solid
vote , " said Hev. Brown , "nnd so does
Romanism. Any politician knows that nil
he has to do in a locality Is to make arrange
ments with the pope nnd the solid vote of
Uomanisra will bo cast. "
Ho saiel that Homanlsm was not only a
political power , but n foreign one , nnd the
pope , professors in the schools and priests
were foreigners.
"Father Sherman said there wcro 10,000-
000Romans in this country , " said the divine.
"Admit the statement true for argument
and I say that there are 10,000,000 subjects
of a foreign power in this country.
"Romanism has declared openly and above
board , " ho continued , ' -that it aspires to the
possession of the government of this coun
try. " In support of this position ho quoted
several selections from the writings and
speeches of various Catholic writers , ami
then began to explain the methods by
whicli the Cathollo church hoped to attain
the desired end.
"The priests. " ho said , "aro political
agents all over the country and their people
vote according to their direction. For an
other thing the priesthood wields the com
mercial patronage of 10,000,000 of people.
The merchants of this city know what that
means. They know that when they break
with Romanism they lose theS patronage of
their Catholic customers. When this power
is wielded by shrewd politicians It means a
good deal. Again the Catholic church has
unlimited wealth which It has been accumu
lating for centuries an I which is always
potent iu politics. "
Church nml Citizenship.
Tiiospeaker then dealt at some length with
the query "Can a good Homnnist bo a loyal
citizen of the Uniteel States ! " "They
teach , " ho said , "that tliQ first allegiance Is
duo to the pope , ami that any other allegi
ance may be set i.sido by him at his will.
The decree of the council of Constance
taught that no faith should bo kept with
heretics , and if a Roman Catholic should
violate his oath of allegiance to this country
how easily a priest could absolve him. When
a man is sworn to support Romanism first
and last , 1 can see no way in which ho can bo
a loyal citizen of the United States. "
"Father Sherman told you , " continued
Rev. Brown , "how bravely the Catholics
fought during the war , but ho forgot to tell
you what the Roman Catholics know about
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Ho
did not tell you that moro than one-half the
deserters from the union army were Roman
ists , a nil that the pope sent his blessing tc
Jeff Davis. Father Sherman said a good
deal nbout the constitution. Now , I tell
you that ho nnd his church nro the most
bitter and determined enemies that the con
stitution 1ms. The constitution says that
the govermcnt must bo by the people , but
Romanism says that the pope is supreme
and the people must obey. The constitution
bays that congress must never puss a law
abridging the right of free speech. Here ,
PRIME IN HIGH PLACES ! it is
* ' not strange that some people da
wrong through ignorance , others from
a failure to investigate ns to the right or
wrong of a matter. But it is strange ,
thnt individuals nnd firms , who are fully
nwaro of the rights of others , will por-
Hist in perpetrating frauds upon thorn.
High-toned , woaltliv manufacturing
firms will offer and hell to rotnll mer
chants , articles which they know lo he
infringements on the rights of proprie
tors , and imitations of well known goods.
Wo want to sound a note of warning tc
the retailers to bowuro of euoh imita
tions nud simulations of "GAHTKU's LIT-
Ti.15 LlVKR PILLS. " When they nro of
fered to you , rofuao tUom ; you do not
want to do wrong , and you don't ' want tc
lay yourself liable tJ a lawsuit. Bon
Franklin said "Honesty is the best poli
cy" ; it Is just as true that "Honesty la
the best principle. "
ngnln , the Catholics differ with it , for
Fnther Sherman nil vises hi * CM hello
friends to RO to the courts and obtain injunc
tions to prevent out speakers from making
tbethsplvcj heardv &
' 'Ali6 ' ucr Way Jn which Homo builds up
her political power Is by petting hold of the
municipal governments of our e'ltlcs , " said
the lecturer. "Now York. Boston nnd Chi-
caco nro dominated by Catholic Influence
nnd 00 per cent of the city employes are
Catholics. Until recently the result of the
national election depended on the result In
Now York state. The state went ns the
city of Now York went , nnd Now York city
went the way Romanism went , So , behind
it all , Romanism practically controlled our
national elevtlon. "
Another fact that helped to raise the
hopes of the Catholics was thnt a largo per
centage of the immigrants coming into the
country every year were adherents of their
faith nnd most of them were voters. It was
by means of nil these that they hoped to
accomplish their purpose.
Quote * Ditnlcl VTrlntrr.
"I like tholnneuageof Daniel Webster , "
concluded Rev. Brown. "Ho said that ho
was born an American , lived an .American ,
nnd would dto an American , "
Ticmindous aprlaufc followed Ihlfnsscr-
tlon. In the midst of the tumult someone
yelled , "How nbout P.ktrlck Henry I"
Rov. Ill-own then discussed the objects of
the American Protective association at
length. _
