custody of United States Deputy Marshal
J O. Moore and Police Sergeant Derapsey
In the union station at Chicago the morn
lni; of April 7.
Intelligence .' the arrest was received by
Thief Donahue last night from Postoftlce
Inspector Vlckery. He telegraphed from
DuRalo that Oram had beon arrested
there but gave no particulars. The In
spn tor neked to have Sergeant Dempsey
bring Grant's property to Cincinnati, where
Ills trial Is fb be. It has not been decided'
by the authorities here whether It will be
necessary for Dempsey to return to the
Ohio city.
Grant, In company with his pal. Prentice
Tiller, made a daring attempt to escape, In
which only Grant was successful. The
prisoners, handcuffed together, had been
taken from the train by the officers to get
breakfast and were In the watting room
when the dash was made. Dempsey mlMed
the keys for the handcuffs and returned tu
the car to get them.
In his absence the prisoners, who had
secured possession of the keys before leav
ing the car and unlocked their Irom,
sprang upon tbe deputy marshal and over
powered him. Tiller ran up the stain and
out of ilgbt while Grant told the crowd
which had gathered that Moore was a
crazy man In his care. In the excitement
Grunt made good Ills cocape. Tiller was
not so fortunate, being recaptured by Chi
cago officers Wore he had gotten many
feet from the station.
Grant had been photographed and meas
ured by the Ilertlllon system while under
nrrest In Omaha and his picture and de
scription were sent broadcast over the
country. The federal authorities were un
remitting In their search for him and his
recapture was only a question of time.

March 6. His pal. Prentice Tiller, was
taken In Omaha a few days later by Ser

Even though all liquor licenses expired at
midnight on April 50, only four local liquor
dealers saw lit to pay Into the city treasury
tho sum exacted yesterday. The regular
license fee Is. according to the Slocum law,
J 1,000 and In addition to this there remains
tbe old occupation tax of 200, Saloon
keepers have been vainly looking for some
ray of light tn this connection and hourly
expecting a special meeting of the coun
cil to repeal this occupation tax ordinance.
It was rumored early yesterday corning
that a sreclal meeting of the council wcnM
be held at 10 a', ra., but nothing transpired.
Still the applicants for privileges did not
comejn with tho money and, as tbe. mayor
did .BuOs-uie any. ntietd a: the' police to
notlry dealers In liquors, the saloons. were
permitted to operate tbe entire day with
out Hcerfge.
It Is thought that when the liquor dealers
see today that there Is no hope of having
the occtiputton tax ordinance repealed they
will pay up without further ado, Of the
$1,200 demanded by City Treasurer Koutsky
J 1.000 goes to the school district and the
school hoard needs the money, as the build
ing of the proposed High school is to comu
up for cerlous consideration Monday night
and It wll bt necessary to know at that
time how much money there Is available.
Nearly every member of the council says
that, while the tax Is a little high, It wll'l
bavo to be paid this year, as the funds are
exhausted and, owing to the change In the
charter ,tho expenses are Increased.

there will be no lack of funds with which
to carry forward the project and a big at

while the enterprise Is to be a private one,

las of the city council a committee was
appointed to hustle out and see what could
be done about securing rooms for the tax
commissioner. A report Is to be made at
the next meeting of the council, which will
be held on Monday night. Until that time
the commissioner Is virtually without a
home acd active, operatons will hardly be
commenced until some action Is taken by
the council on the report of the coramltte.
With eight competent deputies Tax Com
missioner Fltzgirald expects to make a
fair valuation on all property, regardless
of ownership. It Is expected that the val
uation returned by the commissioner will
not be less than 12,2:6,000. There was hopes
at first that the valuation for city purposes
might be raised to 12. 250.000, but Just now
It does not look as If this can be done, o.i
account of the . andltlon of the Hammond
plant. Commissioner Fitzgerald says that
he proposes to de his duty and will make a
Just and equitable assessment.

As Is customary on tho first of each
month the city clerk Issued a statement of
the city's finances. Tbe amount of the
1500 levy was 1106,437, and from this there
was drawn up to April 30 1SJ.477, leaving a
balanco of JIO.OW. The balances In tbe
various funds are: Interest. !.;U; Judg
ment, 11.71S; police, 174; fire, overdrawn,
11.60; public light, balance, 12S3, saliry.
13S4; engineer, $131; street repair. II, park,
11.543; emergency, 125; general. $132.
It will bo seen that the city Is In bard
financial straits at this time, principally
owing to the Are. police and water levies
not being enough to meet the demands of
the people. In case the occupation tax
order Is carried out these depleted funds
will be reimbursed.

Democrats ot national repute, represent
ing various sections of the country, hap
pened In Washington recently and were
persuaded to discuss tbe best means ot
pumping some ginger Into the democratic
party. Former Congressman Tarney of
Missouri Is quoted as follows:
"If some man who has been acting with
tho Bryan element and who has been suffi
ciently prominent In tbo party In tho past
comes to the front with a platform that
will make a departure from that of 1S36
and 1900. I think ho might unite the party
and perhaps lead ,to victory tn 1004, But
the Issues ot that campaign are yet to be
developed nnd the prospects of the demo
cratic party will depend upon the condi
tions In the country at that time, rather
than upon anything the democrats might
do. If there should be a reversal of pros
perity and hard times should come again
the party In power will undoubtedly bo
overthrown. If, on the other hand, pros
perity continues and tho crops are abun
dant and the country Is able to stand the
strain ot reckless speculation the re
publicans would probably remain In power.
As to conditions In the south, that wilt
depend on tbe negro question rather than
on anything that tbe president can do.
As long as the negro question remains
prominent In the south the republicans
have no chance."
Tbe outlook In the south was the theme
of Congressman Livingston ot Georgia. "It
the negro question can be got out of the
way In the south," he said, "and that has
been accomplished to some extent, thero
wilt unquestionably be a considerable num
ber of business men who will favor the re
publican party. How many I do not know,
but among tbe bankers, railroad men, cot
ton manufacturers and others Interested in
big business enterprises In tbe south there
are some who believe In tbe policies of the
republican party. They believe In
protection, expansion and liberal ex
penditures tor public Improvements
and a policy for the develop
ment of Industries and the extension of
trade and commerce. Tbe negro question
has kept them 'n the democratic party, but

adds that this determination was reached
at n conference of the promoters at Kanat

project was not feasible unless Omaha
could be counted upon as the i orthern
terminus of tho road. It expressed a hope
that Omiha business men would recon

surprised, therefore, to hear from men tn
those states where the negro question has
In a measure been eliminated express
themselves In favor of the republican ad
ministration. "I think a majority of our people have
no objection to the retention of the Philip
pine Islands under a territorial form of
government. Many of them believe that
tbe possession of the Philippines means a
gateway to the Oriental trade, and cotton
manufacturers and cotton planters want a
market for their products and look In that
direction for development. There exists a
strong sentiment in the south In favor ot
the encouragement of the Industries which
have been and are being developed."
Judg James G. Magulre ot San Francisco,
formerly a congressman, thus expressed
himself: ''Tom Johnson of Cleveland is.
In my opinion, a growing man In the party.
He represents Issues and reforms upon
which, In my opinion, tbe next national
contest will be waged. He also represents
a great economic philosophy, which is dally
gathering strength, and, while it cannot
be made a national Issue, It will bring to
him vast support outside ot bis own party.
He Is a man upon whom the democrats can
unite, and, I believe, win a triumphant
victory. He represents the progressive
movement In favor of municipal ownership
ot public utilities and franchlseu and tbo
single tax Issue, things that will be a
source of strength to blm should he be a
candidate.
"The single tax system Is to come eventu
ally, In my opinion, as It Is tho only logical
method ot taxation, but It will come gradu
ally, I believe that a proposed amendment
to the constitution on this subject will ba
adopted in time. The trust question will
probably be a prominent lesue lu the next
campaign, and also tbe method ot dealing
with the Insular possessions."

Generally, but three classes take much In

take but casual Interest in the matter.
For that reason he addressed the ban
queters on that subject. He would not
adlso a study of politics upon the lines
of the usual political address, for while
It might appear that there were radical
and organic differences between tbe po

"The Anglo-Saxon race which controls
this country is the bravest and best of
any race on earth. In all places where
the Anglo-Saxon has come into conflict
with the other races he has stood out as
the noblest ot all. We have followed the
traditions of the fathers under changed
conditions. This admiration for tradition,
while entitled to great consideration, Is
responsible for more evil and crime than
any other one thing. It has kept kings
upon the throne and has kept China hun
dreds of years behind the times. Progress
Is made by those people who are ready to
study tbe questions of today In the light of
present experience.
"The emotional sentiment of the people
was responsible for the war with Spain.
When we declared that the Cubans ought
to be free we made a mistake. Now when
we have come to our senses we see that

"In the case of the annexation of Hawaii,
grave senators said we could not govern
Hawaii as a colony, so we organized It as a

made. The power to rule colonies Is Inher

United States than In England and Ger
many. When It came to the acquisition of
Porto Rico and the Philippines, the people
had learned something and the American
people are prepared to say that the United
States can govern colonies. But we have
gone a step further and have. In Cuba, as

upon which we have no claim. In China

It may be that we ought to deliver up to
tho useless bacrlfico of tbe flames a few
more presidential elections In the Interests
of a cause already lost. We may bo of the
earth earthly, wanting In grace, but some
how we cannot help feeling that In this
wicked world it U substance, not shadow,
that rules. We pro mighty tired of shoot
ing blank cartridges out ot flintlock muskets
against an enemy armed with Mauser rifles
and occupying all the strong positions upon
the field of battle.
"There Is a radical difference between
recognizing existing conditions and of being
answerable for their existence. We may re
gret tbe altered situation raised up by the
Spanish war. We may, as an original
proposition, be averse to the idea of out
lying territory and all tbts Implies. We
may have been shocked by the president's
change of policy as to Porto Rico, by the
scandals la Cuba, by the blundering In
Manila, but we cannot deny that, tor weal
or woe, we are In possession of Porto Rico
and the Philippines; that we are granted In
Cuba and that we must either pack up and
come away and In doing so make a con
fession of national Impotency or else,
standing our ground, proceed with the new
and complicated obligations and duties In
cident thereto.
"In abandoning the Philippines we yield
our vantage ground In tho far east, which
Is already become the center of the strife
of the powers for commercial supremacy.
We make what tbe world and the ages
wilt hold an Ignominious and short-sighted
surrender, for we are entering upon a
cycle ot pure commercialism, whose end
will witness the survival ot the fittest;

Why, on that line all effort which has
gain for Its object Is wrong. 'Out ot line
with American traditions,' says Mr, Bryan.
Why, every Important movement, from the
Louisiana purchase to he abolltlou ot
slavery, might be so described. But, right

party do about them?"

fore Judge linker AkiiIii.
James Callahui has made his last public
appearance for the present and will remain
In the retirement of the county Jail until
the next term of court. His detention will
probably extend over several weeks before
any further action Is taken.
Callahan s attorney appeared before
Judge Baker yesterday and withdrew the
plea of not guilty entered by their client
In the charges ot false Imprisonment and
grand larceny now pending against him.
They substituted Instead a plea In bar spec
ifying that the alleged kidnaper had al
ready been put li Jeopardy as to bis liberty
and that no further detention on virtually
Identically charges would be constitutional.
No argument beyond a mere statement
of the case was made, as the point must
be presented to a Jury and action will nec
essarily be deferred until the next term of
court.
The prosecution Is relying more upon an
allegation of perjury than those now before
the court. County Attorney Shields will file
such a complaint at once and Callahan's
testimony Is being extended by stenogra
phers for the purposes of the Inquiry.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects ot the well known remedy,
Srnup or Fius, manufactured by the

dispelling colds, headaches and feverr
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative. 1
