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.

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. Davis , the
druggist , charging him with the larceny of
a quantity of morphine. Daker Is sus
pected of also knowing something of the
disappearance of seven razors from Mr.
Davis" establishment a short time ago , and
will be gi\en a chance to answer to thes"
charges tomorrow morning. Forman was

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.

The United Labor Protective association
made a very commendable showing In the
parade on the Fourth , but It Is claimed that
Colonel Hunter , who was In command , would
have had a much longer column had It not
been for a scheme to deplete his ranks. It Is
alleged that some of those Interested In
weakening the show of labor strength cun
ningly arranged to give members of the or
ganization Just enough work to break Into
the day's progiam. In their eagerness to
get a few hours' work some forewent the
pleasure of keeping step to the music. Others
who were offered work declined , preferring to
sacrifice the chance to earn a dollar In order
to give the organization the benefit of a
show of numbers. Company A , the first one

of Captain N. J , Rcagle and Lieutenant

There Is a city ordinance forbidding mer

of the uldewalk next to their building us a
storage place for their goods , but no ono
would ever dream of such a thing who had
not read up the law. The ordinance has
been absolutely Ignored for yearn p t by
a number of merchants , and In Bema cases
the ildewtlki Lave beta no cluttered up
with boxes nnd other obstructions that one
person could scarcely pars without running
the risk of Impaling himself upon a pro
jecting nail. 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

TAHLEQUAH , I. T. , July 6. 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.

the republican candidate for congress In the
Twenty-first Illinois district , was horribly
Injured July 4 by a powder explosion. Ho
went on u picnic to Fulling Springs. Ho
and some comrades put a quantity of
powder In a can of mud and attached a

quickly and Murphy went to ueo what was
the matter. While he was looking Into
It the powder exploded wun terrific force.
The boy's nose was torn off , his cheek bone
broken and his loft eye put out , and It Is
probable that he will lose the sight of hh
right eye aha. It Is doubtful If he sur
vives the accident. If he lives he will be
disfigured for life and probably bo blind.

NEBRASKA'S 'JUNIOR SENATOR.
Interesting I ImrnctiT Sketch of Hon. Wll-
Iliiui Mnrcnt Allen.
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. "

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. As BOo'pYiM , our car left the
truck wo wero.in.all shot from our
berths In varlous"fltrcctlons , being tumbled
up and down andtQifiilnd ns the car kept on
turning somersault ? . 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.
" 'Oh , no , ' he Bald , 'we are not drowning ;
we'll get out of this easily. '
"Hut It was not-so easy to escape as my
cool frl-nd assured me. 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. Thomas Cantwell nnd
Charles Qulnn have been arrested here
charged with Inciting the murder of mem
bers of the royal fnmlly. Prior to the re
cent opening of the Tower bridge the pris
oners were found displaying the following
" Worklngmen of Tower Hill : Fel
low Workers You expended life , energy
and skill In constructing this bridge. Now
come the royal vermin nnd rascally poli-
ttclnns with pomp nnd splendor. 'Ihey
claim nil the credit while you are con
demned to the worlcliouse nnd to the pau
per's grave In order to glorify these lazy
BWlne who live by our labor. "
Upon searching the prisoners' lodgings a
printing press nnd n muss of anarchistic
pamphlets were found. The prisoners will
be prosecuted by the treasury officials.
