SrrUn Ulllllnu'H Uiiciiilm.
The police authorities of this city
are proceeding upon the theory that
the murder of John J. Gillian
was premeditated and not the re
sult of an attempted holdup. All po
tible clues arc being followed, but most at
tention Is given any evidence or Indica
tion of a feeling of enmity that might have
been entertained by anybody toward the
dead man. Chief Hoagland Is still confident
that the murdcrurs will be caught, but he
refuses to discuss the case with the public.
The coroner's Inquest was continued this
afternoon at the establishment of Under
taker llraton. Two women who live near
the scene of the crime testified that a few
seconds before the shooting they heard
someone shout. "No you won't," aud that
there were uleo sounds of scuffling. R. C.
Malotioy, son of Mrs. V. J. Maloncy, tes
tified that he knew Gtllllan slightly but he
could offer no cvldcnco of any material Im
portance. He was not in the city when
Glllllan called at his mother's home. Just
prior to the murder.
George l'eterson, 1134 K street, had a
utory to tell though he did not testify to the
coroner's Jury. He had been visiting friends
In the south part of town the evening of the
murder and was returning to town about
1 o'clock cs he passed the cast side
of the capltol at the Juncture of J
ntrcct ho saw two men on the grass who
looked like the guilty men from the de
scription that has been given by the various
witnesses. They shaded their faces as he
pcsicd and he thought no. more of them
until he learned of the murder.
At 3:ir o'clock the Jury retired to deliber
ate In necret, all persons being excluded
from the room.
Funeral services over the remains were
held yesterday afternoon at the Glllllan
home, 1000 E street. Rev. V. H. Manss and

WEEPING WATER GOLD CRAZE
I'rnsitectors Discover Kllnt Mine of
Indian and Think They Hate
Eldorado.
WEEPING WATEII, Neb., Aug. 26.
(Special.) The recent gold excitement near
Hastings recalls the fact that nearly every
locality In Nebraska has had a similar ex
perience. Weeping Water passed through Its
craze at so early a day that few remember
It. In fact It occurred before the town ex
isted and was, no doubt, the first effort
made for gold In Nebraska.
In the early "0 after the California dis
coveries had opened up the trails across
this state, two miners, working westward,
crossed the Missouri below Plattsruouth
several miles and followed up Weeping
Water creek until they came to a high hill
not far from where this city now stands.
Here they discovered what they believed to
lx ancient gold mines that had been workod
on the hillside and close to them old stone
furnaces and by the stream In the little
volley below the ruins of gold washing
apparatus convinced the miners that ore
had been found at the place. They returned I
to Iowa wjth glowing accounts of the new
Eldorado and soon many men with tools
and machinery came across the Missouri
and rode up the little creek. Work began.
but continued for a short time only. No
gold wc found and It was soon learned
that the pits were the abandoned flint mines
of the Indians where they hnd been ac
customed to secure their supply of arrow
beads. The "furnaces" were merely roclcs
reddened by the fires of the Indian camps.

The Peruna Medicine Company, Columbus, Ohio:
Qentlemen,,Thls fall I caught a heay cold at a dancing
party and a most unpleasant catarrhal condition developed In my
head and throat. Mother thought that Peruna might help me
and sent for a bottle. We had never used any patent medicine
before, but were forcibly convinced of the merit of Peruna. It -took
less than two bottles to drive all unpleasant effects away; In
addition It gave renewed life and vigor. I felt happy and very
active and have not been sick
