not openly oppose a revision , but pointed
out political and other reasons for opposing
revision.
General Zurllndcn admitted when he took
ofllCft. thai K he was not a Drcyfuslto he at
least had an open mind and felt great sym
pathy for the Dreyfus family A deep tudy
of the dossier , however , had absolutely con
vinced him that Dreyfus was guilty.
1'lnally n division occurred , In which M.
Tauro did not take part. A semi-official
note explains that General Chanolne only
had a conference with President Kaure after
his appointment to succeed General Zurlln-
den had actually been signed
The decision of the committee appointed
to consider the matter of revision will be In
no way binding upon the cabinet , which will
Btlll have to dtcldo the actual question of
revision.
It Is reported that a vessel haa already
started for the Isle du 'Dlable In readiness
to bring Dreyfus to 1'arls , and M. Hrlsson
and"Ocneral Chanolno are determined that
nobody , however high In his position , will
be sheltered.
Stirring events are Impending. General
Zurllnden la credited with < the belief that
there Is a Plcquart mystery and It Is bc-
ilovcd he fully Intended Plcquart should be
prosecuted. According to Colonel Pic-
quart's written statement to the minister
of Justice four secret documents were sub
mitted to a court-martial held In 1894 be
hind the backs of Dreyfus and his counsel.
LONDON , Sept 19 David Christie Mur
phy publishes today a long story regarding
the Dreyfus affair. The author vouches fgr
the truth of the story , but declares that ho
cannot disclose tbo source from which he
obtained his Information The article states
In effect that Dreyfus was engaged as a spy
In the employ of a secret department of the
French army against those suspected of traf
ficking with Germany and other powers His
zeal , BO the story goes , led him to become
the victim of revenge on the part of Colonel
Henry , Comte Esterhazy and Colonel Paty
du Clam , who themselves were concerned In
treasonable practices.
TALL AND SHORT MAN AGAIN
Ilrncc of Robber * llcllevo Several UH-
HiinnrrtliiK Clllirn * of
TUelr AVrnltli.
Th tall man and the short man opened the
fall campaign last night by holding up the
citizens of the south sldo In a wholesale
fashion. Within half an hour they stopped
four men at the point of a revolver and
forced them to deliver all cash nnd valuables
ou hand.
It. .
The first victim was James Rooncy , a clerk
who resides at 547 South Twenty-fifth ave
nue. He had spent the evening at Turner
park , Fifteenth and Vlnton streets , and at
11 o'clock had started homo , walking west
from the Vlnton street gate. The walk Is
shadowed by trees and Roonoy was almost
In the arms of the footpads before ho ob
served them The tall robber sprang from
behind a tree and thrust a large revolver In
Rooney's face. The latter , observing the
stianger's sle and manner , at once sub
mitted and raised his arms obediently when
the brief command came He stood quietly
while the second robber made a careful
Bearch of his clothing with small results
Everything of value on his person was rep
resented by a gold watch chain. The robber
took this nnd with an oath at their meager
success the men ran toward Thirteenth
street.
After a safe Interval they halted another
subject of hopeful appearance who proved to
bo James Sip , a tailor living at 1911 South
Fourteenth street ) They awaited Sip , at a
dark point on Fourteenth street , a short dis
tance south of Williams , and confionCed him
with the revolver and the terse command
to throw up his hands , Tha only thing EC ;
cured was a gold watch , which was taken
wltih the remark that It would match the
chain already secured.The robbers treated
the matter In the light of a joke and started
Sip on his way home at a run.
Their expedition was still a failure from
a monetary point of view and they made
another effort In the hope of Increasing
their ready cash. This tlmo the victim was
Anton Francl , 1218 South Fourteenth street ,
whom they met on Fourteenth street , ono
block north of the scene of the robbery
next preceding. Fraud was strolling toward
home unsuspiciously and was taken by sur
prise. He succumbed without a struggle
and gave up 45 cents , which the end of the
evening stllf found in his pockets. The
method uaed In his case was similar to the
others.
The money on hand was still deemed In
sufficient and a further levy was made upon
P. Harrington as he passed a dark alley on
Fourteenth , near Pierce street. He was on
his way homo to 1407 Plerco street. The
robbers securd from him $3 , and with that
reward for their perseverance desisted for
the night.
The footpads were disguised by heavy
handkerchiefs drown tlghtily under their
oyoa and In the darkness no good Idea of
their appearance could be formed. Rooncy
believes ho could Identify the tall man by
the sound of his voice , which possessed a
peculiar rasping quality.

Colonel Egbert Is here , anxiously awaiting
the regiment. Of the 483 who went with
this regiment In April less than 250 return.
The regiment has been recruited so that
490 are now In line. Fifty members of the
regiment are In the Tort Thomas hospitals
and some are away on furloughs , but many
were burled in Cuba. As Fort Thomas Is
now occupied by hospitals , the regiment !

of the workers In which the conditions of
the toilers and those who Me In luxury are
brought Into strong contrast as well as the
fact that each lives on without understand
ing the other until some crisis forces the
knowledge upon them , only tt > IIml that If
conditions were mutually understood the
misunderstandings would he fewer and moro
easily adjusted. Ml. Montague as Reuben
Warner Is one of his beat efforts. He takes
kindly to mtnly , unselfish roles and with
considerable of the heroic is able to secure
gencioua applause. Miss DerkeYy. as In a

which , but for her suciem In that , vvoitld
have been a surprise. Miss Dunn as Tolly
rietchcr , a bit of countiy ficshness and
honesty Injected Into the sham of city life ,
has a very clever part very cleverly done.
Miss Crelghtou as Marparot Knonlton Is u
charactPi which one hardlj knows at times

LINCOLN. Sept. 18. ( Special ) In some ,
parts of the state the "allied forces of re- I
form" are having trouble over the distribu
tion of oIHccB and Ihe grievances of the
disgruntled factions find their way Into the
local paporSi In 1'lntto county the popo-
crots were not satisfied with Judge Albert ,
the man selected for them by Governor Hot-
comb , and turned him down In the Ju
dicial convention , nominating Hollenbeck
In his place. The Humphrey Democrat
pours n doubtful balm on the sores of the
Albertltes by printing the following edi
torial In Its last IssUe :
The time between now and election day
wilt be put In by "Judg " Albert In looking
for something "Just as good. " Perhaps he
con got Hollenbeck to make him court re
porter , or bnllltr , or something. You can't
lose Albert as long as there Is anything like
an office In sight.
The McCook Tribune tells of the new
declaration of Independence In Red Willow ,
the homo of Treasurer Meserve , In this lan
guage :
The democrats of Ued Willow county hav
ing wearied of being a very small and Inalg-
rlflcant tall to the populist kite , and , this
year , by formal resolutions , absolved them
selves from supporting any particular party
nominees. It will ho a go-as-you-pl aso with
them this election.
In the meantime the democratic Mirror nt
Arapahoe , In the county adjoining Hed Wil
low , carries at the head of Its editorial col
umn a sample democratic ticket which con
tains the names of C. J. Smyth for attorney
general , C. M. Kelley for county attorney
and Dr. Butler for coroner. The patriot
from Red Willow who la claiming
so much credit for having paid off part of
the state debt with money belonging to the
state treasury and turned over to him by
Joe Hartley , does not seem to be a popular
prophet in his own country , Judging from
the local democratic organs.
Pitiful Wall.
Hut the most pitiful wall Is heard In Cus-
tor county. Senator C. W. Deal , who got
$1,711950 out of his legislative ofllco while
his constituents got nothing , Is so badly
scared over the condition of things In his
district that he can see nothing but defeat
In the coming election This prospect is
especially discouraging when he Incidentally
romembirs that ho is a candidate- for re
election , and the senator's Custer County
Beacon In Its last Issue prints a warning to
the "reform forces" in the county , under
the caption , "High llmo to Awake. "
It cannot be donled that there Is now more
or less apalhv among the populUts of Cus-
ter county. That vim nml tneigy which
characterized the mov "inwil in the early OO's

the leading topic1 around threshing machines
and other placas1 where farmers weie wont
to gathur Now while political questions me
discussed to some extent , there nro oth u
questions that tJeem to absorb the atten
tion of our farmers , and In which they s em

piofess-lonal politician likes ta see It Is just
what the republican puity"w.intE , and so
long as It exists , the ganerali tendency of
prices will bo downward That Is the ten
dency at this time and If farmers cense to
bo Interested In polltlcti they'll finally reach
the low level prepared for them by those
who control Ihe volume of our mouuy.
In Custer county the cradle of populism ,
there is even open talk among some popu
lists of voting part of the jepubllcan ticket
at the coming election. What does It mean7
It means that thes populists have resolved
to help fasten the gold standard permanently
upon this country with all Its attendant
evils , and when this Is done , that is the
end of hope for on upy.ard tendency of prices
The most reliable news that comes from
Custer , however , Is that the farmers of
the county believe Senator Beat's principal
tendency is "to control the volume of our
money" to his own personal benefit , and a
large number of former populists will re
fuse to support the legislative ticket headed
by Deal this year.

The Joint discussion between Hon Jx'orrls

Mr Broun had thu opening and Orceno the
closing The audience was lar 'flj with
Blown , who delivered a dispassionate clear
and magnificent speech He took up Mr

that he ( ( ! rene ) explain his frequent ab
sences when Important legislation nas vo'c-u
on in the congress of which Grrenu was a
member Drown culled upon him to explain
wh } he was against the bill allowing the
volunteers to vote In camp , his absence
when the tariff bill was up , his vote against
Hawaii and bis conduct In general He made
a masterly effort In comparing prices of
every commodity at the present with prices

1S96 to show haw Orceno had prophesied
that they would go lower with the election

account of the trust given him Ho paid a
glowing tribute to the army and navy and
pointed In glowing terms our duty to the
oppressed now under the folds of the Hag In

ho offered for his absence was tint his
daughter was sick nt ono time and ho hail
to accompany her home , but the balnnrn of

DAKOTA CITY. Neb , Sept IS ( Special )
-Confusion Instead of fusion now pervades
the ranks of the populist and democratic
parties of this , the Eighth senatorial , dis
trict , caused by the refusal of William A
Morgan , formerly of this county , now of the
firm of Armour & Morgan , general mer
chants at Allen , to accept the fusion nom
ination for senator which was given him aO
Hmorsou two weeks ago Mr Morgan gives
as his reasons for not accepting the nomina
tion a lack of ambition to become a legislator
later , also lack of funds and time to conduct
a campaign. Mr Morgan was n candidate
for county citric of Dlxon county on the
populist Vickct last fall and suffered defeat
and in this respect he thinks ho has served
his party , A meeting of the commltteenipn
of the populist and democratic parties of
the several counties will likely be called and
the vacancy filled In that event ) It Is very
likely one of the several democratic candi
dates before the Joint convention wlU bo
chosen , of which Dakota county had three
asplrantB Thomas Sullivan , Jr. , E. B Wil
bur and D. C. Hoffman.

WEDPINO WAT13H. Neb , Sept. 18
( Special. ) The republican county central
committee convened here yesterday. Plans
were formulated for a vigorous campaign
and from reports of commltteemen there Is
perfect harmony the country over. The
secretary of this congressional district , Kd
Slzer , was present and stated that they were
leaving no stone unturned to secure the elec
tlon of E J Burkett for congress and that
a majority was expected for him In every
county In the district The republicans have
In this county a majority over fusion and
If they allow n prize to escape them it will
be on account of the fuslonlsts centering
all their strc'tigth on one candidate and
trading the balance to effect his election.
This the republicans are not apt to allow , as
the loss of one representative means a vote
for a fusion senator when the legislature
meets.
