CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON Former Governor of Jobannubarg Ar nignid in Bow Striet Court. BREAKS ARMISTICE WITH LORD ROBERTS Ak for Time to Slop Street I'IkIHIhk null In Meantime Smuiinle Out Moliller nuil Money In s Pretoria. LONDON, Oct. S. Dr. Krause, tha for mer governor of Johannesburg, who was ar rested September 5 on the charge of high treason, was arraigned In the extradition court at Flow street today anil charged with high treason and Incitement to murder. The- former charge Is connected with tho surrender of Johannesburg when, according to the public prosecutor. Dr. Krauso ob tained from Lord Roberts twenty-four hours' armistice on tho plea that street fighting would thereby bo obviated, and utilized tho period In getting all the Hoer flghtors out of town and In sending 180, 000 to Pretoria. After Dr. Krnuse had been paroled ho went to Europe and applied to Dr. Leyds, the agent of the Transvaal, for money on account of these services. Tho prosecution Introduced evidence to show that Dr. Krauso was In communica tion with Dr. Cornellous Borocksman, tho public prosecutor of Johannesburg, who was executed September 30 last for treason, and that he urged the necessity for tho shooting or otherwise disposing of Douglass Foster, an English Inwyor at tached to Lord noberts' staff, who woh very active against tho Iloers. The prosecution Introduced a letter In which Dr. Krauso described Lord Mllner as "an arch scoundrel and an enemy of Hoer national existence and a willing tool of Jingoes," and advised tho burghers to break tholr oaths and shoot traitors. Tho loiters Indicated that Dr. Krauso acted as a channel between the Noer gov ernment and Holland, Tho prisoner was remanded. EVIDENCE OF FRAUD LACKING Collector Tnke l.ejcnl AiItIcc nnil Or clile Not to Nelie Good In Controversy. NEW YORK, Oct. 8. After an exhaustive Investigation covering every phase of tho case, United States Attornoy Honry L. Hurnott has written on opinion and filed conclusions showing that the reports of so. called "silk frauds" In the custom house In this city wero greatly exaggerated. Sov oral weoks ago It was feared that the nmounts lost to the government might run Into tho millions. Tho collector of customs, however, acting upon legal ndvlce, has declined to selio tho merrhandlso covered by Invoice No. 143S7. which Involco was returned by thn appraiser as fraudulent. After an Investigation of tho circumstance surrounding this case It Is tho opinion of tho collector and tho experts of his office that tho chargo of fraudulent Intent can not b sustained. Therefore the goods aro not subject to seizure, and, this being thn only question presented In regard to tho Invoice, tho entry will bo liquidated In regular course. Involco No. 14367, which was submitted with all tho evidence to tho United States attorney, who would be the prosecuting attorney In case tho collector mado n solsure, was regarded by the col lector as one of tho strongest cases against tho Importers.

Fred L, Taft. oi attorney for the Gunranteo Savings and Loan company of Cleveland, today appeared (n tho tuprcme court und admitted that that concern was Insolvent and nsked the ap pointment of trustees. The court appointed Messrs. Taft and J. D. Livingston, Mr. Livingston made the following statement, in part: "On August S J. A.

A week ago last Sunday Mr. Dlodt committed suicide. This followed the discovery that leans had been made upon property purporting to have a building thereon, but which, In fact. was a vacant lot. Investigation showed that similar fictitious loans had been made In 132 cases, tho amount secured being 1209,000. Steps will be Immediately taken to discover what was done with this large sum of money." DRY GOODS BUSINESS BRISK MlirlOK. Trade In Oinnhn Open Knrl mill with nil Kicellcnt Prospect. Representatives of Omaha dry goods houses this week start nut with samples of spring goods, particularly In wash fabrics. Several orders have been sent In and It looks ns though the spring trade would open enrllcr thnn usual. Traveling men report that generally tho stocks of spring goods carried over are lighter than common, this being due to the long, dry Rummer, which materially reduced the Htocka on hand, the average woman being compelled to almost dupllcato her summer purchases before the closo of the season, This condition portends. In the opinion of Jobbers, a great Increase In bus iness In spring goods over Inst year, al though the season Is yet too young to al low nn accurate forecast. Whtlo spring orders aro being received In small quantities, the fall trade Is not over by any means, for the long, hot sum mer. which reduced the stocks of wash goods, also mado retail dealers dilatory In tho matter of placing fall nnd winter or ders. While there Is not the excitement In the wholesale district which characterized the trade during the month of September dealers report that they are receiving much business both from 'their representatives on the road and from visitors to the houses. The cloak "experiment" which was tried In Omaha for the first time this season has proven n complete success and this will be one of the regular lines of the house In I rod uc I nt It hereafter. Dealers report n stronger tone to the markot this season than usual at this time of (he year. Duyors havo generally re turned from the cast nnd tho stocks aro being put Into shapo for tho spring trade, Said one of these buyers: "In tho east there Is evidence of a heavy trade during tho coming season. Orders from nil parts of the country nre heavier than were ex pected. This has produced a tendency to higher prices nnd there has been n pcrcep tlble advanro in some lines, particularly In Amerlcnn Indigo prints. Dry goods are now about as high as they should be and I do not look for further advances, Hut on the other hand, thrre'ls no probability of any decline, as the demand Is too great.'

MPLY SHIFT BURDEN OF GUARANTEE nulniiil llrlletcil of Troublesome l-'enture Without Any Merlon Vlo Intlon of Mrnl Principle nt CImj ton-llnlwer t'oiniinut. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. There has been o surrender by England to the United States In the matter of the new Isthmian canal treaty, according to the best author ity here. It Is said to be equally true that the United States has sacrificed no prln- lple In theso negotiations. It Is said that what actually has happened Is that each Ide has preserved the underlying princi ple of the Clayton-Uulwer treaty and the ew convention will provide for a water way, neutral at all times nnd open to com merce of the world. Tho Clnyton-nulwer reaty, however, drawn half a century ago, has proved to be defective In mechanism for giving effect to this purpose. Tho new treaty simply provides this mechanism, England Is relieved from the guaranty, which In Its case was only trotiblesomu nd which, being assumed by tho United States In toto, Is quite ns effective. As viewed from the American point of lew even, there was no surrender on England's part In seeking this relief, In- smuch as the above mentioned principle In reiterated and affirmed as binding upou thu United States. As for tho form of the reaty It may be slated that It embodies In ubatance tho amendments to the liny- 'aunccfoto treaty whlrh was signed by the senate nnd beyond that the changes are believed to bo textual rather tho sub stantial.

For the Old Fashioned Coffee Wan Killing. "I always drink coffee with tho rest of tho family, for It seemed as If there was nothing for breakfast If wo did not havo It on the table. I hnd been troubled Borne tlmo with my heart, which did not feel rlghf. Thlt trouble grew worse steadily. Sometimes It would beat fast and at other times very slowly, so that I would hardly bo able to do work for an hour or two after brenkfast, and If I walked up n hill, It gavo mo a severe pain. I had no Idea nf what the trouble wnu until n friend suggested that perhaps It might be caused by coffee drinking. 1 tried leaving off the coffee and began drink Ing Postum Cereal Food Coffee. Tho change came quickly. I am now glad to aay that I am entirely well of the heart trouble and attribute the cure to leaving off coffee and tho wse of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. A number of my friends havo nbundqnod the old fashioned coffee and have taken up with Postum, which they nre using steadily There are some people that mako Postum very weak and tasteless, but If It Is boiled long enough, according to directions, It I a very delicious beverage.

Most all of the late candidates for nom inations on the several county tickets have tiled with tho county clerk sworn state ments' of the expenses Incurred by them In he preliminary struggle. Tho primary fight was more expensive for Judge Vinson haler than for nny other candidate, for the reason that ho- was required to pay the fees for filing two complete dclegato tickets with tho county committee, one from the Fourth and the other from tho Seventh ward. The Judge's expense account nmounts to ID9.S0, of which J60 was spent for filing dolcgntlons, $25 for livery, $5 for tho Val ley Enterprise nnd the remainder for print ing. W. J. Hunter spent JjS pushing his can didacy for county clerk nnd was then pushed Into another place on the ticket. Tom Crocker nnd Ed Ilrallcy mode their cam paign together nnd their expense accounts arc Identical, each having spent J 3,", of which $15 wnfl for filing the Eighth ward delegation, $10 for carriage hire, $S for printing and $2 for hall rent. I'd 1 1 ( Get In Chenp, George McRrlde's preliminary contest cost him $61, Including $40 ndvnnred for the filing of tho South Omaha delegation, $3 each for three country newspapers and $ for printing. Charles Unltt must have prevailed upou some of the Ninth ward delegates to pay their own filing fees, for his expense account shows that he only advanced the sum of $11 for that purpose. besides spending $10 fur two hacks on pri mary day and $ i.50 for printing. County Superintendent Uodw ell's rcnom- Inatlon cost him $35, P. A. Edqulst paid out 1 1 .fiO in his canvass for the surveyor's nomination and Louis Ilerka took the pollen Judge place on the republican ticket after contributing $5 to the campaign fund of the Vlnsonhnler ticket nt tho Seventh ward prlmnry. John Power made his preliminary can vass at an expense of only $15, of which $10 went to the Quill and $5 to the Valley En terprise. Editor Dyers, by the way, seems to have overlooked very few of the candi dates in the earliest stane of this year'c political game. Harry Miller states that he spent only $9.60 beforo tho democratic con vention, and Harry Deuel nays his expense amounted to only $11. CO, for enrrlngo hire on a trip through the country. Connolly I Lucky, Dick O'Kocffe wob somowhat more liberal than the other democratic candidates, hav ing spent $29.10 for printing nnd $7.50 for "personal expenses." Jim Connolly took pride In writing across the top of his state ment, In bold letters, "Not one cent." Fred Elsaaser and John Grossman also reported their primary expense nil. Edward R. Duffle hna filed n statement de- calrlng that he spent only 20 cents In his campaign for the fusion nomination for su preme court Justice and that went for postage. Judge Keysor, who whs after tho same place on tho republican ticket, spent $17.23. of which $10 was for his hotel bill nt Lincoln. Harry H. Davis, who made a fruitless campaign, for tho republican nomination for coroner, spent ami urani wmiams, who wanted to run for register of deeds, parted with $32.75. Tom Doctor expended $3S In boosting himself for a third term nn the county hoard, pnd ho doesn't think he got nny more thnn his money's worth. POPULISTS JOIN DEMOCRATS County t'entrnl Committee Decide to Knilure lleinncrntlc Ticket. The Identity of tho populist pnrty In Douglas county, about which there has been considerable fuss during the last few weeks, hns been sunk. The sinking wns done last night, when the county control committee of, tho populists met nnd Indorsed the en tire democratic county ticket, with the ex ception of two candidates for Justices of tho reace. Mr. Marsh, who was nominated by thu pop louiity convention for county clerk, hnd to go down and out In the denl to save courthouse Jobs for active pops, which was consummated lBst night. Ever since the ad journment of tho convention, which gave to Its central committee the power to tnko down and put up candidates, John O. Yelser and other lenders have been declaring In most emphatic terms that the democrats would cither havo to mako room for Mr. Marsh or a populist randldato for county Judge on their ticket or thoro would bo no fusion. Despite tho strong bluff thrown nbout by Yelser and his associates the knowing ones havo been aware of tho fact that tho pops never really Intended to put up n straight ticket of their own. Even half-witted poli ticians havo realized that a straight pop ulist ticket, If nominated, would get n meager vote that would sound the death knell of populism In" Douglas county and make fusion deals Impossible In the future. So no ong suspected thnt the pop leaders would put up a atralght ticket. Tho bluff was Intended merely to force as good a bargain as possible with the democrats for Jobs contingent upon tho succcsh of all or a part of the democratic ticket. Term of the Denl, Tho bargain made, It Is understood, Is for the retention of Elmer Thomas In the county attorney's office, of Laurie Qulnby In the ofP.ce of the clerk of the courts, of Jim Jones, as a deputy sheriff, of Ilarnet and Wllllnms In the treasurer's offlco and of a number of other pops now on tho county payroll; also for tho appointment of about ten other pops to the exclusion of so many democrats In the event of the election of tho fusion candidates for county Judge, register of deeds, county clork nnd sur veyor. , Tho deal has been under wny ever since the adjournment of the democrutlc nnd popullsttc conventions, with Ed Howell conducting tho negotiations In bohalf of the democratic candidates. Tho bargain made by Howell will bo anything hut satis factory to the Douglas County democracy, whose leaders are bo bitterly opposed to fusion. "We don't enre to be electing democratic officials In this county who will give a big share of the best appointments to pops, who really' do not control more than 200 votes In the entire county," is the way one of the Douglas county leaders ex pressed himself last night when he heard that the denl had gone through. EIGHTH WARD REPUBLICANS Jnmea II. Vim lluen Hint the Candi date Aildie Well Attended Mr ell iik. Republicans of the Eighth ward held n well Hltended and enthusiastic meeting at the corner of Cuming and Twenty-second streets last night. James H. VanDuscn de livered the principal speech of the even- Ing. He pleaded for harmony In the re publican ranks, declaring there was no ex cuse whatever for any republican to bolt the ticket In this election. "There has always been more or leas dltsentloa In the republican ranks," said Mr. VnuDusrn, "and there always will be In such a progressive parly, but after the differences In tho preliminary battles are settled by the party convention the party usually gets together for the triumph of the common cause. The ticket that Is nov before you represents no particular faction, but It represents nil factions and should receive the united support ot nil factions. No man who claims to bo n republican has nny right to vote against nny candidate on that ticket unless he believes the candidate to bo dishonest or Incompetent. I estimate my republicanism second to that of no man, but when I find a man on the repub lican ticket whom I bellevo to be unworthy of my support he doesn't get It. That Is herauso I place ray citizenship above my partisanship." Mr. VanDuscn deprecated the statements being made by some ot the republican can didates In thU campaign admitting the effi ciency of Sheriff Power nnd Treasurer El susser, nnd calling upon the republicans to vote ngaltist them merely on partisan grounds. "It Is not for ui to advcrtlno the efficiency of democratic officeholders, " said he, "but It Is our work to show to the voters thnt we have better men for the pub lic service. The official records, I believe, will show that the expense of the sheriff's offico has boon heavier during Mr. Power's term thanlt was In former years when the volume of business transacted was double what It Is today."

Head the following case of nn Omaha citizen, who found tho remedy In time; Mrs. Kate O'Mnra, 2429 Pacific street, says; "For seven or eight years I was troubled more or less with rheumatism and sharp pains across the small of my back, Working pretty hard, looking after my fnmlly, Is what I think brought on tho trouble I was much worso In the mornings on rising and became so better after being up and around for some tlmo. I saw Doan's Kidney I'llls advertised nnd got them at Kuhn & Co.'s drug store. Before taking nil of tho box. I knew they were benefiting me. They cured my back nnd holped my rheumatism," Sold for 60o per box by all dealers. Fostcr-Mllburn Co., liuffnlo, N.

Rrltts of South Omaha, nn Inventor wants to marry a woman with $1,000, who -will be willing to let him us. the money lu the development ot his In enllon, "If the dukes nnd other titled gentlemen of Europe haven't married all the Amerl cnn heiresses," writes Drnzlllal to The He "I would like to have n chance at one of them mytelf. I consider myself better than nny of the pampered nobility nf the Orient, and my Idea of perpetual motion better than a coronet. .Moreover, I have no buck debts for my future wife to pay. To the newspaper .that will help mo get such a wife 1 will pay $1,000 In ono year's time." Mr. Ilrltts la reticent as to the naturr of his great Idea, but from hints dropped In conversation U would seem that ho had lnu-nted something thnt will bo to lite me chanical world what llrpw.u-Soo.uard elixir and I'once de Leon's fountain o youth promised to be to corporeal ma.n. It win be an emancipator from drudgery, enabling people to live like the god of' my,tholoR without work. All power will be fur nlshed free. Even the Intelligence of or pllng it will be mechanical. ' Rrllts win make tho flm machine, which In turn will make tho second! and so on." As the ett tomoloxlst observed Fleaa have smaller fleas to eiif ''em, And these In turn have other Ilea, nnil on, ad Infinitum. , Mr. Ilrltts snys a vsst deal of energy Is vnsted In this world, and to-prove, his theory cites the birds of tho al.r. J.Ike Hie lilies of the valley, he says, these. toll no', neither do they spin, yet thev float In the ether for days 'and even weeks without lighting, showing thnt they maintain their polsn In upaco without effort ft Is from tho seagulf and the hawk that ho. gels hli Inspiration; they furnish him. the Idea 'rr the basic principal of his much I nr.

Everyone will live n sort of Utopian existence, s'uch as oh talnod before Eve ate the npple. All forms of labor. Mr. Rrltts hhVsi nre unlovely, unnlitur.il ami unnecessary. Every tlmo n carpenter pushes a mw throuuh n board; every time the stonecutter whncln the granite. Just thnt mtlch wasted energy Is recorded In nature's universal counting room. In this Mr. Rrltts seems to hold an opinion somewhnt similar to that of the philosopher Astolfo, whom Orlando Furloso credits with having "found treasured in the moon everything wasted on this earth, such ns misspent tlmo and wealth, broken vows, unnnsw'ercd prayers, fruitless tears, nbortlvo attempts, unfulfilled desires and Intentions, etc. All bribes wore hung on gold and silver hooks, princes' favors wero kept In bellows and wasted talent In vases." Hut now comes Urnzlllal R. Ilritt. Inxentur, and would put the moon out of business. After his scheme U projected Gentle Lun,i can no longer keep tab on this gray old earth, for there' will he no more misdirected energy for her to keep-tab on. f As to the matrimonial feature of his enterprise- Mr. Rrltts regards It ns a business matter purely. "What would you do If a wrinkled and decrepit old woman should come with $1,00C and take you up?" he was asked. "I would marry her," sold he. "The main point with me Is to got enough money to make my model, nnd so 1 get It honestly It doeiin't matter much how I get ft." (Co rv--r ,a-iT A MARKED MAN has his attiro made to lit.
