"An enumeration of the chances that men take with death In order to entertain the great amusement-loving public would be very incomplete without the addition of that latest and greatest sensation, vis.: the looping of the loop on a bicycle," said Mr. James D. DeWolfe, one of the agents of the Forepaugh-8eIIs circus, which Is scheduled to show here next Saturday. Mr. DeWolfe gave some very Interesting statistics concerning this great act, which he declares Is "the greatest sensation ever presented anywhere, at any time." In the course of conversation, he said: "It Is difficult to conceive how a man of sound mind can be tempted by money to so ar dently flirt with death. The cost of this act Is $1,000 per week, and It consumes just six seconds of our entertainment program. The act is presented twice dally, and. therefore, Dtavolo works Just seventy-tw seconds per week. But his work Is such that we have aa yet been unable to find another man who can perform It. The basis of the act Is the overcoming of gravitation by velocity. It has been mathematically proven that a freely mov ing body weighing 225 pounds can descend a 110-foot runway at an angle of forty-five degrees and gain sufficient Telocity to rise almost perpendicularly 82H feet. In other words, Dlavolo weighs 190 pounds and his bicycle sixty-five pounds; the runway Is 111 feet long, placed at an angle of forty-five degrees, and the 'loop' proper is just J3V4 feet In diameter. '.'The. speed attained Is terrific, and the lightest .swerve from the center of the narrow three-foot runway means Instant death. It is absolutely without qualifica tion the greatest hair-raising demonatra tlon of dare-deviltry ever witnessed but it only lasts six seconds." PRESS CLUBART EXHIBITION Original Drawing's of Newspaper Ar tists 'Will Be Shown for Several Days. Monday evening the doors of the Press club will be opened on the first annual ex hibition of drawings by the magazine, book and newspaper Illustrators of the country. It la expected that the exhibit will not only be one of the social events of the season, but will be decidedly Instructive to the general public as well, as here one will be enabled to see what claas of work news paper artists are able to do when they have the time to do It. Cartoons will be only a small feature of the exhibition, as the work to be shown will embrace every conceivable kind of drawing, the black and white, wash draw Ings, water colors, charcoals and even some ambitious ' oils. The collection will com prise sentimental studies. Ideal heads, ma rine views, landscapes, pictures of news events, caricatures and portraits, and In fact almost every Imaginary subject will be on display. The opening night will be reserved for the patrons and patronesses, through whose influence and support the success of the exhibit has been assured. The public, how ever, will have several days to view the col lection, as the rooms will be open from t to 10 p. m. each day and no admittance fee will be charged.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY The Omaha Woman's club will hold Its annual election of officers on Monday after noon, and, while the prospects are for a rather tame election, nobody would be especially surprised If quite the opposite would occur, for there has been consider able wire pulling for the two secretary offices. Mrs. A. K. Gault will not be elegl ble to re-election, ss she has served her second term, and her office will have to be filled, but the present corresponding secre tary, Mrs. Edward Johnson, Is serving hor first term and is eligible to re-election. It has long been evident that there Is an un dercurrent of feeling against Mrs. F. H. Cole as president, it having frequently manifested Itself in the antagonism of some of the older members, whose policy has not received the sanction of all of the present executive board, but Mrs. Cole's popularity with a large majority has pre vented the disgruntled ones from openly doing more than oppose her rulings on the floor by a raising of eyebrows or by rising to suggest that she might possibly have mesnt something else. In spite of this, there has been a noticeable Increase of speakers among the younger and more timid women, who, realising their limited knowledge of parliamentary rules, have still dared to ask for the floor, trusting to the courtesy and tact of Mrs. Cole to avert any embarrassment to them. This grac lousnesa on her part, together with her firmness, has won Mrs. Cole a strong fol lowing that It wilt be dangerous to an tagonise too far. It Is said that any op position to Mrs. Johnson will be due to her strong support of Mrs. Cole. Prior to her departure for her former home in New Haven, Conn., Mrs. Louise Graves, president of the Woman's club of Shelton, Neb., was given a "shower of verses," at the home of Mrs. George Mels ner. Each member of the club, including Mrs. Graves, was asked to write In rhyme not less than four or more than twenty lines, addressed to the president. After the writing an elaborate dinner was served and then the verses were read, some of them being very good and all highly en tertaining. Later they were submitted to a judge, who awarded Mrs. Graves first prise for her composition to herself. The second prise went to Miss Jessie Smith. The final meeting and election of officers of the bible class of the Woman's club will be held on Thursday. The executive com mittee Is desirous that at least thirty women Join for the coming year, as it Is proposed to study the bible under the di rection of Dr. Conley. Following the meet ing Dr. Conley will finish his series of lec tures, taking for his subject "The Bible and Christ." The Woman's club. In conjunction with the public school of Talmage, Neb., gave program and an exhibit of school work last week that was most creditable. The exhibit was held at the schoolhouse, the work adorning the walls of the various departments. The program commenced at o clock and the two urner a-rade rooms were filled In response to the Invitations issued. Mrs. Gorydon Rood, president of the cluh. presided, and made the orjenlnr address. Mrs. W. E. Page of Syracuse, president of tne Nebraska Federation, was the next speaker, talking along educational lines, and waa followed bv Mrs. Relle M Rinm. enborough of Plattsmouth, who also spoke or tne educational work. Principal N. A. tioussei closed the program with . paper. An Inspection of the school work followed, refreshments being served by the members of the club. In the evening another nrosrram wns tire. sented at the Methodist church. Mrs. Ttnnd again presiding. Mrs. Page presented a paper on "The Alms of the Federation." Mrs. Stoutenborough taking as her subject ine t-umic school." County Superintend ent King also spoke briefly. The program was interspersed with music. The Interest of Nebraska rlllhs tn tm general federation Is increasing steadily and, though It is unusually early for clubs to begin coming Into the General, the num ber Is steadily increasing along with the Interest. The following clubs have applied for membership recently: Acme Woman's ciuo oi wayne, woman's club of Ord, Woman's club of Tekamah, Woman's club of Plattsmouth and Sorosls cluh nf Voii. City. This list Is but another evidence of tne efficiency of the general federation sec retary. Mrs. Stoutenborough, whose duty It Is to stimulate and promote the (ntr In the general organisation.

IRGE BIENNIAL SESSIONS Matters Again to the Front in Grand Lodge of United Workmen. ARMOUR APPEALS FROM OLIO DECISION Schools for Deaf and Blind Asked Give Exhibitions la Instruction Methods at St. Loale Exposition. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. May -(Special.) A party of the grand officers of the Ancient Order of United Workmen of Iowa started from Des Moines for Sioux City today to attend the grand lodge meeting there next week. This Included W. M. Narvls of Muscatine, master workman, and B. F. Rehkopf of this city, grand recorder. B. F. Carroll, state auditor, will go on Monday. He Is the grand receiver of the grand lodge but Is not a candidate for re-election. There will be about 100 delegates at the Sioux City meeting, which opens on Tuesday. On the evening previous the grand lodge of Iowa will give a reception to the grand lodge of South Dakota, most of the members of which pass through on their way to Lead, B. D., where their session will be held. The report of the grand officers will show that the membership of the lodge in Iowa Is now over 14,000. The total disbursement of the grand lodge during 1901 was 1229,071.64. One of the most Important matters to come be fore the grand lodge will be a proposal that biennial sessions be held Instead of annual. This was voted down last year, but a great deal of sentiment has been created In its favor since thst time, and It Is likely to be adopted In the Interests of economy. Another matter that will cause some dis cussion will be the proposal of the grand medical examiner, R. L. Cleaver of Council Bluffs, to have but one medical examina tion for applicants Instead of two. The grand recorder makes a proposal also that the grand lodge erect a permanent building for headquarters and offices In Des Moines at a cost of 150,000. It Is understood that Master Workman Narvis and Recorder Rehkopf will be unanimously re-elected, aa will also some of the other grand officers. Receiver Carroll will not be a candidate for re-election and It Is practically certain that Henry Mtchelstetter of Sioux City will be elected in his stead. Killed In mm Elevator.

The Jury In the case of the state against the Armour Packing company for violation of the state law relating to the coloring of oleomargarine having found the defendants guilty under the Indictment they will Im mediately appeal to the supreme court to secure some definite statement aa to the scope and meaning of the Iowa law. On the flrst trial the Jury failed to agree. On the second the court modified Its Instruc tions to some extent and made It easier for the jury to reach a decision. The court held that it was not necessary to prove that artificial coloring matter was used or even that It was necessary to show that the yellow of the oleomargarine Is the color of yellow butter, but merely that It is yellow as distinguished from white. Tho attorney for the makers of oleomargarine contend that Ihls Is not the intent of the law and if It is that the law Is unconstitu tional. . Federation Board Concludes.

SCCFIELD CLOAK AND SUIT CO., 1510 Douglas Street. for the deaf at Council Bluffs and of tho Iowa college for the blind at yinton, have been communicated with in reference to a proposed novel exhibit at the St. Louis ex position next year. The exposition man agement, and especially the department of education Is desirous of having a practical demonstration of what is being done in the education of the deaf and the blind, as It Is done tn the best schools In the country. It would be manifestly less expensive to draw on the schools of the Btates that bor der on Missouri thnn to go to the eastern "liools for material; end eo it Is proposed that the Iowa schools Bhull contribute teachers and classes to go to St. Louis where they will be conducted the same as at the state schools. The board has made Inquiries as to the cost and probable chance of getting both teachers and pupils to do this and will lay the matter before the Iowa commission with recommendations. If the Iowa commission can make recom mendations covering this expense It is probable that the schools at Council Bluffs and Vinton will do their part. State Treasurer Gilbertson today received from Shelby county a draft for $24.60 as a contribution from that county to the Mc Klnley memorial fund. This Is the first that has been received for a long time and it Is probable very little more will be re ceived from Iowa people. TWENTY YEARS FOR JESSIE npreme Coart of Kansas Affirms De cision of Lower Court In Morrison Case. TOPEKA, May 9. The supreme court to day affirmed the decision of the lower court In the case of the state against Jessie Mor rison. Jessie Morrison was declared guilty of killing Mrs. OUn Castle three years ago at the Castle home In Eldorado. The de cision means twenty years Imprisonment. The opinion, which was written by Jus tice John C. Pollock, says: "I'pon the theory of the tragedy, as maintained by the state, the murder was a butchery of such savage and villous nature as rarely Is equaled and never excelled In the criminal history of the civilized world; that search of a parallel so shocking must be Instituted among the traditions of the aborigines. It waa a brutal deed, utterly lacking In miti gating circumstances, alike appalling to the mind and shocking to the sensibilities." ELDORADO, Kan., May 9. The Morrison-Castle case was the most sensational ever tried In Kansas. Jessie Morrison and Clara Wiley were In love with Olln Cattle, a clerk In a "racket store," where Miss Morrison also was employed. Within a week after Castle married Miss Wiley the women fought In Mrs. Castle's home with a rasor, Mrs. Castle being slashed in a hor rible manner, and Miss Morrison being cut badly. Miss Morrison. --ho at her three trials alleged self-defense, asserted that Mrs. Castle had called her Into the house and started a quarrel over a letter said to have been received by Castle from Miss Morrison. At the first trial the Jury dis agreed; the verdict of the second trial, which resulted In a five-year sentence, was teversed. Miss Morrison has 'been out on ball and Is visiting a brother at Enid, Okla. A month ago it was reported that she intended leaving the country, and she said: "I have teen living here happily, but It seems that the contentment causes dis tress among my enemies. They wlHh to create a prejudice against me In order to affect me in the court." Miss Morrison Is the daughter of H. M. Morrison, formerly circuit Judge at Eldorado. Olin Castle was remarried last month and Is now living in California. SETTLERS DISJURB RANCHERS Occnpy Free Rana-e and Compel H e strlctlon of Large Da kota Herds. PIERRE, 8. D., May 9. (Special.)
