Judge Mecca's court room In the city building was crowded to the doors yester day with spectators anxious to hear the testimony In the case of Ed Oakur , who was arrested Tuesday morning nnd FUS- pectcd of being Implicated with Leo Formnn In the burglary of Dartlotl's grocery store. Mr Dartlctt , the proprietor of the ( store , could not Identify Dakcr as the nun whom he saw running away from the rear of fie store at his approach and at whom ho emptied his revolver. Lee Formal ) , who wis ecnt to the county jail to await the action of the grand jury , was brought Into court on an order from Judge McGco , and admitted that ilnkor and himself had been together during the early part of the evening , but found It very con venient not to remember anything1 of Doker's whereabouts after 11 o'clock. G. II. Mayne , who Is acting as city attor ney during Mr. Huzclton's absence , trio ! several times to refresh Forman's memory , but without avail. Ofllcers Easdale and 'iVclr , who arrested Ilakor nt his house on / venue C , after the capture of Forman , testified to Uncling Daker there , and that ho appeared to be greatly fatigued , and that his clothes were wet with perspiration. The ovldtnce submitted by the prosecution wan entirely circumstantial , and the Judge In summing up the case said : "There Is so much evidence Introduced ngalnst the de fendant In this rase which Is not admissible , but which will bear looking Into , that I do not think It justifiable to deprive * him of his liberty , and will therefore continue the case while awaiting further developments , and will release htm on his own recogniz ance. " Immediately upon leaving the court room , however , he was again locked up by Chief'Scunlan , an Information having been filed against him by George S.

The chances are that the near future will see a professional bicycle thief landed be hind the bars of the penitentiary of Ne braska or Iowa , as he Is now sheltered by the bars of the jail at Glenwood and has a clear case of grand larceny pending against him In both states. Mention was made In yesterday's Dee of the theft of a bicycle belonging to J. B. Fulton from In front of the Sapp building. Fulton found that the thief had taken It to Omaha and sent It to Pacific Junction , with Instructions to the express agent that It be sent to Chicago. In the meantime Fulton had sent out de scriptions of the wheel to the town authori ties all over this section of country , nnd had received word from the express agent at Pacific Junction that his wheel was there. He wired back to catch the thief at all hazards If he came around again. Thurs day afternoon Fulton and Emmet Tlnley went down to Pacific Junction. II. M. Harford of Omaha had a bicycle stolen from In front of the New York Life building In Omaha nnd learned that It , too , had been taken across lots to Pacific Junc tion. Thursday afternoon the thief entered the express office nt Pacific Junction with the bicycle and put a tag on it for Chicago. Before he left he noticed the wheel he had left there three days before still standing right where he had put It , Instead of being on Its way to Chicago. Ho took the station agent to task for his neg lect of duty. An officer was called in to arrest him , but he slugged the officer and almost succeeded in gaining his liberty. He was finally arrested , however , and on trial was convicted of assault nnd battery and laid by for a { 25 vacation in the county jail of Mills county. As soon as the jail sentence has been completed ho will be brought either here or to Omaha for n trial on the charge of grand larceny. Ho was caught with the Omaha wheel In his possession , nnd the admissions he made to the Pacific Junc tion expess agent will be sufficient to con vict him of the theft of Fulton's wheel , so that there seems to be but little doubt that a conviction will follow. Fulton lias vowed venseanco on him nnd will stay by the case until the thief Is landed behind the penitentiary bars. The police have sized the fellow up for a professional bicycle thief , nnd are of the opinion that If an ef fort were made It would be found that he has been running a "fence" In Chicago. The accursed gives his name as T. Daskl. An Information charging him with larceny has been filed by Fulton in Justice Vlen's court. _ I.IVT TO t.O I V.

Marshal Canning has decided to sec If the law cannot be made to serve some useful purpose as well as to ornament the books , and linn served notice on offend ers that It Is to be enforced. It Is to be hoped that the serving of the notices will not be the last of It. The ordinance prohibit ing the hanging of awnings lower than seven fert from the ground Is also to be enforced for a change. iriir : < Um to ( tin lllurTn.

A horrible murder was committed In this city last night and the coroner's jury has been tryIng - Ing to get a clue to the perpetrators With out success. George Craft was the victim and his dead body was found hidden In a llttlo bilnch of corn In the northern part of the city with his skull crushed and his neck broken. His watch and $230 In cash were found on the body , showing that ho was murdered for other purposes than robbery. Footprints leading to and from , where the corribo was found show that two persons were parties to the crime and that after Craft was murdered his body had been carried Into the corn field for concealment. Craft was a barber , about 45 years old and came here several years ago from St. Louis , where his relatives reside. UK LOUHKt ) Iff TilK C.I.V.

While he was looking Into It the powder exploded wun terrific force.

Dr. Albert Shaw publishes In the July He- view of Reviews a critical character sketch of Senator Allen of Nebraska , from which the following excerpts arc taken : The west , fur from asserting Its claims too vociferously , has paid too much deference to the cast. Life Is simpler In the west than In tlio cast. Outside of a few large western cities , the absorption In money-get ting Is far greater on the Atlantic seaboard than In the Mississippi valley. The western people have more time to read nnd to think , and they ilovotc themselves much more gen erally than their eastern brothers or cousins to a consideration of public questions. There 13 really no reason , therefore , why Senator Allen of Nebraska should not be supposed to bring as complete qualifications to his task nt Washington ns , for Instance , Senator Henry Cnbot Lodge of Massachusetts. Hut none the less the cast must bo Indulged In Its Inability to look upon nn untried west ern man with other than skeptical and cur ious eyes. The country has , however , at length become aware that In this Junior senator from Nebraska there has appeared a new personality , full of vigor and power , and with the promise of a future that may be very considerable In our world of federal affairs. Long before the year 1900 , however , we believe the people of Nebraska will have discovered that their populist senator stands : n pure patriotism , natural dignity , honest manhood and Intellectual power so far above the perplexing and Ill-denned bounds that mark the present limits of party programs that they will acquire a genuine pride In him ns n public man of the first rank , Intent upon the performance of duty and guided by a broad Intelligence and a fixed habit of un shrinking application to the task In hand. Many members of the senate have had pre vious experience In the popular chamber at the other end of the capltol building. Others have seen much legislative service as mem bers of the law-making bodies of their states , while others have become experienced In public affairs through one or more terms as state governor. It Is not often that a mem ber comes to the United States senate with out some such experience. It may be observed , however , that the exceptions to this rule tend to become more numerous , and that It Is by no means certain that a new class of public men , who reach the senate upon grounds of high personal merit rather than' by virtue of their long experience In party manipulation , are the less useful and effective. Senator Allen had not been a politician and had held no politi cal office. The circumstances which necessi tated an extra session , , to discuss the sliver question and that' have prolonged the regu lar session with a well-nigh endless sham battle over the tariff , have made Mr. Allen's flrst year as a senator nn exceedingly full nnd heavy one. No new man at Washington since the opening of the government has over entered more completely 'than Mr. Allen has done Into the thick of the legisla tive combat ; and no man coming without reputation and as perfect stranger both to men nnd to methods at Washington has ever won his spurs more valiantly or gained the respect of his colleagues more , purely and strictly upon the grounds of merit. * * * He 'had never hefd"any ofilco nor 'been ac tive In politics. Until 1890 he had remained In allegiance to the republican party. In answer to a question or two he replied : "My people were all strong republicans , nnd , of course , I naturally fell Into the republican party , but I was never a radlcaj party man and am not today. I have always looked upon a political party since I have grown to man hood simply as a means to an end. I think a party should beheldi no more sacred than a man's shoes or garments , and that when ever It falls to subserve the purposes of good government a man should abandon It as cheerfully as he dispenses with his worn- out clothes. I am a member of a political party simply because I believe that through the triumph of that party the government will be made better ; and BO a political party has no charms for me outside of what It can accomplish conducive to good government. I was a lawyer and was Interested In my profession. My business was the trying of cases until I was elected Judge of the courts of my district. Several times I was asked to be a candidate for the state legislature , but always refused. I took very llttlo part In politics , and never any part In my own behalf. " * * ' 4 Mr. Alien Is fortunate In being endowed most abundantly with what western college boys are wont to call the "physical basis of greatness. " There ore a number of fine- looking men In public llfo at Washington , and It Is a mistake to declare that our po litical arena no longer gains recruits from men of marked personality and distinct , Individual power. Perhaps It would be an error to assert that Senator Allen possesses the finest physique of any man In congress. The anthropological experts of the National museum and Smithsonian Institution , whoso tape measures have been BO busy with the 400 or 600 members of the Coxey encamp ment of the Commonweal of Christ , have not yet ventured to perform a little service upon the almost equal number of gentlemen who make up the two houses of congress. It would bo exceedingly Interesting and In structive to compare measurements of the two bodies. Certainly there are some very fine specimens of physical manhood among the Coxoy contingent. Abnormal types do not appear to be very frequent either under the roof of the capltol building or under the thatched booths of Carl Urown's miniature Utopia at Dladensburg. Senator Allen Is not the tallest man In congress , but he Is tall enough. He measures about six feet and three Inches , and weighs 230 pounds , not nn ounce of which appears superfluous. Ho has a broad und massive frame that sup ports a large Websterlan head , and ho stands as straight as a pine tree. His smooth-shaven face reveals strong but kindly features , amr-hls straight mouth nnd firm chin betray psqroc of his most striking qualities. Ills spectacles add somewhat of a benign , professor ! juspect to a countenance that otherwise mlghte seem severe when In J * if repose. HE KEPT-JHIS HEAD. The Atlmlrublo CVtuiwiciii of a Mini After Huilr ' > i | > i1"ll"i | > - "There Isn't anVtblHg In the world that I know , " ho said to a'reporter of the Phila delphia Press , "ttiafwakes a man lese 4ils senses so compIetHy 'ns being tumbled over and over In a fulirji car , nnd yet I met a man once who > t > cmed the personifi cation of coolnoMTpi Just sirch a situ ation.

Llko the people I read about , we landed In the water , and when thu car came to a standstill after Its terrifying bumping and crushing I was so frightened that I could scarcsly move my arms to keep my head above water. "Near me was a man who kept his head , " 'Uon't splash around BO , ' ho Bald , 'You'll cut yourself. The car Is full of broken glass , lamps , wrenched rods and rails , and you'll hack yourself to pieces. ' "Hut I thought I wan drowning , and I shouted my feara to him.

The whole Inside work had been shattered , and there wan nothing by which wo could climb to the win- duwa , which were high above ui , as our car was overturned , lying on Its roof , "Wo made to many efforts to Jump up , always falling back Into the water , that I became exhausted. My friend , however , kept on encouraglf * me. "Finally , with It * assistance , I managed , to clutch n window frame and I got out. Ho followed mo shortly afterward. " 'Well , I micss I am alive , ' ho said. "After we had tat there for n wlillrvntch - Ing'wlth ihlvcr * the wreckers working out to tin , my friend declared that he wns going to crawl back Into the car , " 'Great heavens ! ' I begged , 'don't do that ; we were lucky to get out once. You might get pinned there or drowned by the rising water. ' " 'I have n waistcoat In there , ' he an swered , 'and In the Inside pocket there's over $1,000. I am going back for that waloj.- coat. My berth wn nt one end nnd I might be able to find It. ' "In the face of my protests he crawlctl back through the window , nnd when he dropped down with n loud splash I was ns 'rattled * as If I had been there again myself. I could here htm pufillng around In the water down there for a long time while he fished for his waistcoat , Finally his wet hc.nl came through the window once more , and 1 never wns more glad to tee n man. " 'I got It ! ' ho said , with a triumphant laugh. 'Pretty wet , but the bills seem to be here. Watch Is gone. Too bad , too ; It was given to me , but one can't expect to save everything out of a railroad wreck , ' he added cheerfully. "He was a cool man , that fellow , and nothing could disturb his good humor. " FLOATING MONSTERS. Itnly Ilni the IllRRrU I'lRhtltiff VrmrlM In tint World. The biggest nrmorclads In the world nro the Italian Jtalla and Lcpanto , sister ships , each of 15,900 tons displacement. Next to them come the monster English battleships of the Hoynl Sovereign class , vcs. es of 14.16C tons displacement. These In turn will le surpassed by the Magnificent nnd Majestic , each of which will displace 14,900 tons. The largest nrmorclad over which the French flag floats Is the Admiral Daudln , of 11,900 tons , and next to her Is the Lazare Carnet , only eighty tons smaller. Ger many's largest nrmorclnd is the Drnn- denburg , of 9,840 tons. Austria has never built any armorclads save those of mod erate dimensions , her largest , the Tegett- hoff , being of 7.300 tons. Spain's largest Is the I'elayo , of 9,900 tons. The three United States battleships of the first-class which have been launched are the Massachusetts , Oregon and Indiana , each of 10.200 torts dis placement. The Iowa , now building , will be 11,296 tons. There Is now a reaction against monster ships. England Is the only naval power that persists In the policy of build ing them , and apparently she Is Hearing a halt. That the Italians have come to this conclusion Is Indicated by the dimensions of their latest nrmorclad authorized , which will have 9,800 tons displacement. The de termination of France nnd the United States to keep their battleships under 12,000 tons was deliberately taken by each government , after weighing weight against efficiency. In this policy Russia also agrees , the largest of her armorclads In service being the Georgl Pobledonosctz , of 10,280 tons , while her naval constructors regard 12,000 tons as about the proper limit. Of the cruisers now afloat the Russian Rurlk Is the largest , and probably , taking all things Into consideration , the most pow erful. She Is armor.belted and Is of 10,900 tons displacement , almost 2,000 tons larger than the DIake. The English have author ized two cruisers of 14,000 tons each , being determined to see the Rurlk and go her 3,100 tons better. As In the case of armorclado England stands alone In accepting this chal lenge. Her Blake and Blenheim are not only exceeded by the Rurlk , but by the Spanish Empcrador Carlos V. , which has 9,235 tons displacement. The largest French cruiser In active service Is the D'Entrecasteaux , of 7,900 tons , but the Jeanne d'Arc is being enlarged to a total displacement of 8,700 tons. The largest cruiser class of the Italian service , either afloat or authorized , displace 6,500 tons each , which Is 450 tons more than Germany's leader , the Kalscrln Augusta. The largest of our cruisers afloat Is the New York , of 8,150 tons , while the Brooklyn , building , will bo 1,000 tons larger. Taper Horseshoes. "When paper horseshoes were first intro duced Into the cavalry service of the German army n few years ago they excited a good deal of Interest , " said Jacob Mlnotz of Ber lin to the Globe Democrat. "Several cavalry horses were first shod with paper shoes and the effect observed. It was found that not only did the lightness and elasticity of the shoe help the horse on the march , making It possible for him to travel faster and farther without fatigue than horses shod with Iron , but that the paper shoe had the property of being unaffected by water and other liquids. These new sheets of paper pressed closely together , one above another , nnd rendered impervious to moisture by the application of oil of turpen tine. The sheets are glued together by a sort of paste composed of tuip ntlne , whiting , gum and linseed oil , and then submitted tea a powerful hydraulic pressure. Paper horse shoes are also made by grinding up the paper into a mass , combining It with turpentine , sand , gum , litharge and certain other sub stances , pressing It , nnd afterward drying It. But these shoes are less tough and elas tic than those made of thin sheets of paper laid ono upon another. These sheets arc fastened to the horse's feet cither by means of nails or with a kind of glue made of coal tar and caoutchouc. " Arrested for TlirciitenlnR Itoynlty. LONDON , July G.
