he had boon drugged by tha men, who
robbed him. -
WlnkW la employed as a section hand
on the Union Pad do and .came to Omaha
Saturday on a little vacation, and In order
to thoroughly enjoy the trip brought with
him a large portion of his savings. On
the train he met a stranger who engaged
him In conversation and before reaching
Omaha ascertained that Winkler had plenty
, of money In his pockets. Winkler and the
Stranger separated on the train reaching
Omaha, but the stranger evidently kept
Winkler In sight. While Winkler was
standing on Farnara street looking at the
tall buildings and speculating as to which
part of the city to go to have some fun,
his acquaintance of the train happened
along. He greeted Winkler as an old time
friend and the latter felt somewhat honored
by being1 recognised by such a nice appear
ing man. It was then the stranger, evi
dently a professional confidence man, began
to get In his work. He had come to Omaha
to see the sights just as Winkler had. He
had 'heard that Lake Manawa was a very
beautiful resort and suggested that he and
.Winkler take a ride there.
Arriving at the lake the stranger com
plained of being very thirsty and sug
gested they have a bottle of beer. While
seated In the pavilion the stranger was
surprised to see three friends of his and
Invited them to join him and Winkler In
another bottle. Winkler told the police
that he only remembered drinking two
bottles of beer when he became deathly
sick. His companions suggested going to
a more secluded .part of the park and
assisted him to a seat In a dark comer of
Shady grove. Winkler had a long vomit
ing spell and was, he thinks, partly un
conscious. When he came to his com
panions had disappeared and so had his
watch and chain and his pocketbookr con
taining 285. The money consisted of four
50 bills, ISO In tens and fives, and tS in
sliver. The watch was valued at $40.
When Winkler came to It was past mid
night. He succeeded In maklsg his way
to the gates where ha met Special Officer
Melsner. - A search of the grounds was
made for the four men, but they had un
doubtedly left the place long before. '
Winkler Is of the opinion that while
drinking the second bottle of beer, one of
Ms newly met acquaintances put some
knockout drops In his tumbler whtje his
attention was called elsewhere by one Of I
the gang. ' Winkler went back to Omaha I
yesterday for the purpose of seeing If he
could find the man who accompanied him to
Manawa.

ADVOCATES A REFORMATORY
Warden Hunter Urges tb Separation of
F.rst-Termers and Old Offenders.
PAROLE SYSTEM IS FOUND TO WORK WELL
Superintendent of Boys' Industrial
School Wishes State to Pot In
a Printing Office and
Bindery.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES, Aug. II (Special.) The
plnn for. a reformatory for the state of
Iowa to partially relieve the state prisons
and to put the penal system of the state
on a more modern basis will probably be
more strongly urged before the legislature
next winter than before the last legislature.
Warden Hunter of the state penitentiary
st Anamnsa, In his biennial report Just
made, makes a strong recommendation In
favor of a reformatory. He would have
this institution for first offenders. He
rails attention to the fact that a great
mnjorlty of those who are committed to
the penitentiary for tho first time are of
a class distinctly different from the old
offenders, nnd that they should be treated
not as confirmed or hardened criminals.
but as persons subject to reformatory In
fluences. The plan Is to establish a re
formatory for persons who are not. In fact,
confirmed criminals and not to send them
to the penitentiaries. Warden Hunter
makes a strong plea for this In his report.
During the biennial period Just closed he
reports fifty-seven paroles, and of these
only tpxir have been returned as unworthy
of the paroles Issued. Six others pre
viously paroled had been returned during
the period. But the discipline of the
penitentiary has been excellent, not one
making an attempt to escape, though one
who had previously escaped was returned.
There was a decrease of 80 per cent during
the period in the number of those who
had to be punished by the solitary. There
are 411 Inmates at the penitentiary, of
which twenty are females. The increase
in the period Is only thirty-one. The
largest number from any one county In
the northern district was from Linn county,
51; with Woodbury, 50; Dubuque, 81; Web
star, 14; Fayette, 11; Benton, Blackhawk
and Clayton, 10 each; Chickasaw and
Plymouth, 9 each; Floyd and Jones, 8 each,
and no other county more than 7. Of the
lifers In the penitentiary sines the be
ginning there were 64 for murder In the first
degree, 17 for second degree, 4 for rape, 1
for assault to commit rape and 2 for rob
bing the malls. Nine persons have been
In the penitentiary under death sentence,
and of two went back to the sheriffs under
the old law for execution, three had their
sentences commuted to life imprisonment,
two rot new trials from the supreme
court, and two are still awaiting action
by court.
During the last , year the warden has
occupied the new and palatial administra
tion building at the penitentiary which
was constructed by convict labor. The
warden asks for appropriations to . pro
vide the steel for completing the north cell
bouse, 137,650, and VlO.OOO for a new work
shop. His ether requirements call for an
appropriation of $73,960 for the biennial
period. The expense of the penitentiary
has been rapidly decreased. Tha biennial
period ended June 80, . 1899, the tost for
support and salaries was 8264.8S4.8S, the
next biennial period only 8204,791.08, and the
biennial period Just closed, 8177,075.12. The
convicts during the last biennial period did
work estimated as worth to the stats, 8141,
139.71. Print Sbop (or Incorrlglbles.
The superintendent of the Stats Industrial
School for Boys at Eldora, in his report,
makes a strong recommendation in favor
of a printing office and outfit for the boys
at that school. He states:
Your superintendent bas long thought
that a printing office should be established
here where a class of boys could learn
the printers' trade. With the building of
our new shop, which is now being ereuted.
room will be provided for a printing and
binding establishment In which not only
the work of the Institution could be done,
but the printing and binding of all state
Institutions.
The state owns one printing establish
mentat Olenwood. The boys there have
made good use of it and all the institution
printing is done there. At Anamosa the
prisoners have a print shop and a paper Is
printed. But far more could be done at
F.ldora than at cither of the other institu
tions, and It Is believed the legislature will
take kindly to the suggestion made in the
report. Superintendent Miles asks for 83,000
with which to purchase material for the
beginning of his printing establishment.
Fit Vp President's Honse.
The board of trustees of the State col
lege has decided upon furnishing complete
the home of the president ,of the college.
The college owns the fine residence which
the presidents occupy, but the late Dr.
BeardBhear owned the furniture and out
fit. The widow will take this away soon.
The board has decided that In view of the
Met that the president's residence is much
used by the students for college work it
will furnish the same practically complete
and not require the new president to ex
pend a large portion of his first year's sal
ary In furnishing a house that Is so much
a part of the college life. The board holds
a meeting next Thursday to do this work
and for other purposes.
Interesting Mixed Law Bolt.
A somewhat remarkable lawsuit Is sched
uled for the next term of onrt In Indlan
ola. W. II. Joiner has sued J. M. Hall,
formerly mayor of Spring Hill, for damages
for alleged alienation of Joiner's wife's
affections. Joiner pleaded guilty to forgery
last January and was sentenced to tho pen
itentiary, 'but has since been released on
parole. Hall was arrested about the same
rime for compounding a felony In that he
aided In passing the spurious note, and
Joiner was a witness against Hall. The
latter put up a bond of Jl.toO. In the mean
time Joiner commenced the suit for dam
ages against Hall for alienation of his
wife's affections and attached the bonds
or money put up as bonds. Hall fled to
Canada and Joiner's wife has since been
accused of Insanity, but Is supposed to have
gone to Canada also.

FL0CKMASTERS ARE STUBBORN
Charged with Kvadlns; Regulations
for the Eradication of
Scabies.
CHETENNE. Wyo.. Aug., 16.-(Spe-clal.)
The state board of sheep com
missioners held an Important meeting in
the office of the secretary here yesterday.
There were present President J. M. Wilson
of Douglas; Tim. Kinney, of Rock Springs;
J. A. Delfelder, of Lander, and Secretary
O. S. Walker, of Cheyenne. Among those
who met with the board were Dr. A. O.
Melvln, assistant chief of the bureau of
animal Industry, and George S. Hickox,
agent In chnrge, of Salt Lake; State Inspec
tor W. F. Hamilton of Douglas; A. E. Up
ton, livestock agent of the Burlington, and,
a number of leading flockmaatcrs' of tho
state.
A number of Important matters were dis
cussed, and steps were taken to cover sev
eral contingencies that have arisen In the
work of eradicating scabies from the flocks
of the stato. New mlcs covering wesk
points in the regulations already in force
were also promulgated.
It has developed that a number of Albany
county sheepmen are doing everything they
can to escape the dipping of their sheep. A
protest was filed with Governor Chatter
ton a few days ago by some of the flock-
masters of that section who charged that
the government Inspectors have been work
ing hardships upon the fiockmasters of
Albany county; that they Insist on dipping
flocks that are free from scab end which
ha-e never be?n exposed to scabhies, that
the Inspectors Invade fenced tracts where
scabies have not existed for years, etc.
Governor Chattcrton communicated with
the Interior department, and was advised
that the matter would be Investigated.
Mr. Hickox, the agent In charge, says he
has Investigated the matter and finds that
the charges of the Albany county fiockmas
ters are not founded on fact and are simply
made In order to escape dipping.
It Is the Intention to clean up scabies In
this state if possible nnd while there Is no
Intention to work a hardship upon anyone,
the government agents do Intend to dip all
flocks that have been exposed. . In this
way, and in no other, can they hope to
rid the ranges of Wyoming of the disease.
Kerr's Selection Gratifying.
HURON, 8. D., Aug. 16.-(Speclal.) The
election of George Kerr, of this city to the
vloe-presldency of the Interstate Sheriff's
association, at the Omaha meeting, is
very gratifying to his many South Dakota
friends. Mr. Kerr is a Scotchman and has
resided In Beadle county since the early
'80s, and Is now serving his second term as
sheriff of Beadle county. He is one of the
best known and most efficient sheriffs in
the state, and a terror to evil doers.
CABINET LOSES A LEADER
(Continued from First Page.)
tng the decade spoken of show a marked
reduction, as well as from Ireland, Eng
land, Scotland, Norway and Sweden, and
a marked increase in the number of ar
rivals from Italy, Austria-Hungary and
Russia. Comparing the Immigration Into
the United States with emigration from
Europe, and considering the period from
1870 to the present time. It may be said,
speaking in round terms, that Europe has
lost about 20,000,000 people by emigration
since 1870 and that nearly 14,000,000, or
practically two-thirds of that number, have
ultimately become residents of the United
States. It is this condition that is giving
the statesmen and writers upon economlo
questions much food for thought.
Grand Army Finds Fault with War.
There are indications that Eugene F.
Ware will prove as unpopular a commis
sioner of pensions as was II. Clay Evans.
The Grand Army fought Evans until Pres
ident Roosevelt transferred him from the
pension bureau to the consular service, and
now It would seem that veterans are pre
paring to bring about the removal of Ware.
For some time Grand Army men have been
finding fault with the commissioner for his
policy of barring old soldiers from the pen
sion rolls by strict construction of the pen
sion laws. They have also objected to his
course in reducing the salaries of veterans
who hold positions in the pension service.
The commissioner recently received a hint
to the effect that the Grand Army encamp
ment In San Francisco would probably take
action looking to an Investigation of his
methods and that he should be on hand
when the encampment met and anBwer any
questions that might be asked. Accord
ingly he left a few days ago for San Fran
cisco In order to be on the ground early.
Ware has also caused criticism from the
Grand Army by his statement that veterans
In the pension service who can not perform
the work assigned to them should resign
and give way to younger men, and that he
Intended to get rid of the "dead wood,"
meaning old employes, at the pension bu
reau, as soon as possible. As a matter of
fact-there are few employes In the pension
service who are older than the commis
sioner, and probnly none who show their
age as plainly as he does. Therefore the
veterans say the commissioner's disparaging
remarks about old men In the government
service come with poor grace.
Ware Heads No Papers.
The newspapers are also saying things
that displease the commissioner. Just be
for he left for the encampment Mr. Ware
declared that he had stopped reading news
papers because since he entered the pen
sion bureau he had found that they printed
so many things about him that were not
true that he had reached the point where
he was not prepared to place confidence in
anything they contained. As a matter of
fact there are people who think the'eom
missioner himself should be more certain
of his facts than he is at times. Recently
a man named Martin was removed from a
clerkship at the pension agency In Topeka,
Kan. He protested against his removal
upon he ground that It was not legal and
charged that Commissioner Ware had vio
lated the civil service regulations. Mr.
Ware replied that he had really had noth
ing to do with Martin's removal except In
the most perfunctory way, as he had re
moved the clerk upon the recommendation
of the pension agent at Topeka, Mr. Met
calf. The latter replied In a newspaper
Interview that he had never requested Ware
to remove Martin and that the commis
sioner had removed him entirely on his
own responsibility. An examination of the
records of the pension bureau shows that
Ware removed Martin because the clerk had
written the commissioner a letter which
Ware regarded as insulting and abusive.
Martin, In this letter, charged Ware with
having his salary and the salaries of other
clerks reduced to make a place fur a poli
tician. His language was not parllamen-

Sherman's Drome Charger.
It was a sight for the gods to see the
enormous bronze charger that will support
the heroic figure of General Sherman mov
ing up Pennsylvania avenue the other aft
ernoon. The equestrian statue of General
Sherman, which Is to be erected Just south
of the treasury building, Is to be unveiled
In the autumn, and the pieces that make
up the statue as well as the outriders, so
called, are being taken to the spot selected
by the commission for purposes of being as
sembled together for the dedication. Carl
Rolf Smith, the sculptor, who won the
honor of making the Sherman statue, died
In Copenhagen a year or more ago. The
widow, also an artist, undertook to work
out her husband's designs with the aid of
one of the best known sculptors In Europe,
and as a result of her efforts the statue
will be erected by the Army of the Ten

the commanding statues in a city which Is
destined to be known as the statuesque
city of America.
It Is surprising how the Washlngtonlan
runs to "the man on horseback" In statues.
Quite 90 per cent of the historic figures
that ornament the squares and esplanades
of Washington are mounted on fiery steeds,
that "scent the battle from afar." Grant
Is to be on horseback, Thomas Is on horse
back, Jackson Is on a rocking-horse, Han
cock Is on a steady-stepping farm horse,
Scott Is on horseback, McFherson Is on a
Kentucky thoroughbred, and the father
of his country Is mounted upon a splendid
Virginian. Logan has a composite horse
to support him, while the other hors?s
throughout Washington carrying major
generals and other heroes of the civil war
are of varied pedigree. They do not show
much breeding, but are useful for the pur
poses Intended.
Chicago a Centenarian.

100th anniversary of the permanent settle
ment of Chicago, August 17, 1A03. Lieuten

begun the construction of Fort Dearborn.
Chicago will celebrate the anniversary in
a small way tomorrow, but the real Jubilee
will take place on September 26 to October
1. The citizens' committee has progressed
well in perfecting plans for a celebration.

own power and lighting plant.
Like everything else connected
with its service, it Is In every
way efficient, which la a great sat
isfaction to the tenant, who has but to
torn the button for his electric light at
anyt time of the day or night; where
the elevators run without Interruption
and with perfect safety. There Is no
additional charge for electric light in
the Bee Building, neither are the rents
higher because It offers all day, all night
and all Sunday elevator service to its
tenants.
Good slsed, pleasant room,
