unless he leavetk behind him a picture or

Thus tha pending of Esra Pertn Savage,
enoa tha accidental big chief of the Ne
braska ns. Tha last sad rites of his com
plete passage was performed yesterday
when the handiwork of a great artist was
relegated out of the side room of the drink
emporium of the Llndell hotel, which said
little room Is used for a billiard parlor.
The work was the exact life slse Image,
ef the great pardoner and In the painted
hand was a scroll, probably emblematic of
his numerous aots of clemency toward un
fortunate murderers and embezzlers. In
days gone by when the accident was the
big medicine man of this great state the
picture Was painted. That all could gase
upon If, It was placed In the lobby of the
Llndell hotel where It remained until the
spring bouse cleaning. Then it was turned
Into more congenial quarters and hanged
on the wall or the billiard parlor. Tester
day rooming it was still there. Last night
It was gone. Inquiry at the hotel elicited
tha Information that its whereabouts, like
ho whereabouts of the -original during the
legislature, were unknown.

Hall Companies All Right.
Discussing tho reports' current In the
tat that a number of hall lneuranoe
"companies would have to discontinue busi
ness because of the heavy loss sustained
recently by storms. Deputy Insurance
Auditor Pierce said: "Several Item have
appeared in tha Lincoln and Omaha pa
pers In regard to the heavy losses sus
tained by the mutual hall Insurance com
panies during the present season. Some
of these articles have conveyed tha idea
that losses have been so heavy that some
of tho companies will be put out of busi
ness. I have been making my annual of
ficial examination of the hall companies,
and while the losses have been unusually
heavy, I have every reason to believe that
each company will meet Its obligations
under the statutes, and will continue busi
ness next year."
Tha new hall Insurance law enacted by
tha last legislature provides that SO per
cent, of the Income of the company shall
be deposited in bank for the payment of
lossea only. It also provides that If the
amount collected any ona year shall be
insufficient to pay the losses, then the
persons sustaining loss shall take their
proportion of the funds realised from the
assessment. In full satisfaction for loss.
It la very evident from this that It will
not be necessary for any of the compa
nies to go out of business, even If the
losses are great. The officers of the com
panles can operate without "conflict with
the statutes.

Joe Baraa la Mad.
Colonel Joe Burn will In the future,
whenever ther Is printing to be let by the
State Printing board, have his little bid In
for the Job. Mr. Bums cam to this con
clusion after the State Journal, which for
a number of years has had a monopoly on
,h nrin.in and moat everything else for
sale around the statehouse, told In ita col
umns that Burns was tha successful bidder
on dynamos, stand pipes, pipe extensions
and most everything he asked for. The
paper went on to say that these bids wer
opened in private and the fact that Burns
got the contracts was not made public.
This haa made Bums mad and" he has
declared war on the paper. "I am making
arrangements with an eastern printing
house," he said, "and whenever there la a
pirntlng contract to be let I shall put In a
bid. I happen to remember some of the
contracts the State Journal has secured
during the last twenty years from the
state and I shall make that company coma
to time with reasonable prlcea. It la a fact
that out of the state, county and city th
company has made enough money In print
ing to pay for their outfit and mad every
member of the company rich.
"The Journal haa had It In for me since
the legislature of 1899, when I caused them
to lose the Job of printing th bill titles.
They put In a bid for 12 each, another com
pany put In a bid for 11.76 each and the
successful bidder secured the Job for 25
cents each. Then the Journal roared and
charged because the worn waa not given
to a 'republican paper.' A member of the
company told me the Journal lost 11.400 by
losing the contract.
"Every contract I have secured was first
advertised In that paper, and when It was
given to me anyone could have learned
the fact by looking at the records. I get
my contracts because I do the work
cheaper than others, and In the future I
Intend to get some of those printing con
tracts or I will make the Journal take
them so cheap it will get sick of It."
The Journal also charged that the board
held private meetings and when the mem
bers concluded the session they gave out
the Information that "only routine busi
ness was transacted." Tna fact that the
board does hold star chamber sessions has
oocasfSned much unfavorable comment, and
during the last legislature it was talked
for some time to compel them to hold pub
lic meetings. This was not don, however,
and the star chamber sessions still con
tinue. The minutes of the meetings, how
ever, are recorded and the next day or the
next, or some time later, they can be aeen
by looking at the records, which are public
property.

at Sidney and Relievo OBBeer
from Bis Embarrassing
Position.
SIDNET, Neb.. Aug. 19,-(Special Tele
gram.) Shackled with chains to the steam
pipes on a Union Pacific train, James F.
Culklns, claiming to be connected with the
private detective agency of Frances O'Nell
of Chicago, reached here this morning from
the west. In his pockets were found requisi
tion papers from Governor Tatea of Illi
nois to Governor Chatterton of Wyoming
for one Johnson, wanted for burglary.
Culklns' story Is that he got his prisoner
at Rawlins, and after boarding the train
shackled him to a seat of the car and that
during the night he fell asleep and was
knocked senseless by being hit over the
head with son: heavy Instrument After
leaving Cheyenne the train conductor
aroused him, and this was the first he
knew of his condition. His revolver and
money were gone.
The conductor Immediately wired the
sheriff here to be at the depot with a lock
smith to saw off the shackles. Sheriff Babb
took the officer to his office In the Jail, and i
after carefully examining the papers and
documents concluded that everything waa
all right.
The prisoner has escaped and no trace of
him can be found. The strange part of th
whole proceedings Is that Culklns hss not
sent a single message to any officer In
Wyoming to apprehend Johnson. When
taken off the train Culklns appeared like a
person In a stupor, later falling asleep on a
bench In front of th Pacific hotel.
Sheriff Babb was at first Impressed with
the Idea that Culklns was the prisoner and
that th real officer had mysteriously dls-i
appeared through the train window. There
Is something very peculiar about the whole
affair, and the sheriff is dogging Culklns
footsteps about the city.

HUNT LOOKS LIRE A WINNER
California Tennis Man Seems to Hav If id
West at Hit Mercy.
SHOWS TRUE FORM IN A SINGLE SET
Allowa Ike Raymond kit Fonr Polnta
aad Then Drop Back to HI
Easy style, Letting One
Cora Go.
When Reuben O. Hunt put Ik Raymond
of Lincoln out In th third round In singles
Wednesday afternoon all doubts of his abil
ity to play a wonderful game of tennis
wer cast to th winds by th players and
the gallery. In his first set he extended
himself for the first time in th tourna
ment and showed what he could do ex
actly. He mad it a love set, allowing Ray
mond, but four polnta Hunt's game, as
shown by his play in that set. Is a net
game all of the time. He returned with a
backhand stroke mostly and took th net
at once, where Raymond was unable to
pass him with his fastest drives. He was
simply Invincible and every wile of th
game known to Raymond was tried wtth
no effect, while Hunt smashed the ball out
of reach of Raymond every time at th net.
In the second set he fell back to his old
game of playing carefully and easily and
not exerting himself, so that there wa
only one set for his style of play to be
Judged from. From the play of this on
set there are many who predict that Hunt
wilt have little trouble In disposing of Sand
erson and everyone acknowledges that tha
match for the championship will be be
tween these two men and will be well worth
seeing.
Fred Eberhardt Beats Fallor.
The other three matches In the third
round of singles were all disposed of dur
ing th afternoon and held no surprises,
with the possible exception of Fallor's de
feat by Fred Eberhardt. The first set went
to deuce, but In the second Eberhardt had
everything his own way and took six games
straight. Fallor was a little weak on his
backhand stroke and Eberhardt took the
net and killed the ball every time on his
opponent. It was generally supposed that
he was not as strong a player as Frank,
but he played the better game of the two
In the afternoon. Hughes was disposed of
by Holland In two sets. This was entirely
expected, but Holland failed to show such
strength as to make It seem likely that he
can defeat Frank Eberhardt In the semi
finals today.
Eye on Fonr Men.
Since the beginning of play in the doubles
the gallery has divided Its attention be
tween the two younger Eberhardt and
Holland and Sanderson. It waa believed
that tha finals In the doubles' would fall be
tween these two teams, although the Eber
hardt brothers disappointed their follower
Wednesday morning by their work against
Hopkins and Scrlbner. They had shown
pretty team work In their match Tuesday
afternoon against Webster and Sunderland
and ' then played a very poor set In the
morning match against Hopkins and Scrlb
ner. The local men wer unfamiliar with
each other's style of play and lost many
balls because they did not work together
and, at that, they almost outpointed the
Eberhardts. In th second set the Eber-
hardts got together and played th kind of
gam that tbey must play to carry through
to the finals. When at their best the two
brothers play together In a marvelous way.
They are large men, but cover a great deal
of ground. Their two strong points of pU-,y
are their net work and lobs.
Th points for th matoh of tho Eber
hardts and Scrlbner and Hopkins ar:
Fred and Frank Eberhardt

Hopkins and Scrlbner

Hopkins and Scrlbner 1 0 2 1 2 4 1-U-l
Sanderson Is being watched with par
ticular attention because of his holding
th singles championship and those who
ar familiar with his play declare that ha
has not fallen oS from his last year's work
at all and that he seems Just a little bit
more clever if anything. He and Holland
work well In th doubles and have three
wins to their credit, having beaten "Van
Camp and Knox and McConnell and Hoel
and John and Henry Eberhardt,
Last Match Hard Oac.
Th last match was tha only really hard
one of the three for the Galesburg men and
they displayed some clever team work.
Like their younger brothers thee Eber
hardt played in perfect team work, but
they showed lack of practice and drove the
ball out of bounds repeatedly. Sanderson
placed well throughout the match and wtth
Holland, smashed and killed lobs with per
sistent regularity. Holland's strong game
is at the net Tha points for th match
were;

Ther -is a general feeling that whoever
wins ths doubles will win from Farnsworta
and Raymond. Raymond has been Improv
ing In his dally play within th last two or
three days, but Is still quite green this
year, and Farnaworth I suffering from
even less practice. Another thing against
them beside their lack of Individual prac
tice is that they have not played together
at all since they won the championship
last year. Farnsworth doe not arrive in
town until Thursday morning for practlc
with Raymond and th match for th
championship will have to be played on
Saturday.
Prettiest Donblea of the Day
The city championship In doubles. Young
and Caldwell, had a hard tussel with
Blatherwlck and Holbrook during th
afternoon and finished two sets. Th first
one fell to the visiting team by a score of
f-2, but in the second Young and Caldwell
recovered themselves and won out by a
score of 12-10. In many ways It was one
of the prettiest doubles match of tho day.
Blatherwlck was playing In great form
and did some exceedingly clever work at
the net. He also showed where his ability
to play with either hand stood him In good
stead when playing a back court gam
by returning some bans mat seemea im
possible to return. Several times Caldwet

drove the ball to the side and Blatherwlck
returned It from the center of the adjoin
ing court. Tojng played a superb game In
the second set from the back court mak
ing some beautiful returns wtth a strong
Ijiwford stroke.
A number of amtches In the consolation
singles wer played off during the day and
the Intention is to work them down to
the semi-finals by tonight. At 10 o'clock
In the morning the ml-Anala In the
doubles will be played off. These both will
be exceedingly good matches as Hunt and
Sheldon are playing a beautiful game de
spite their lack of practlc together and
they will certainly give Sanderson and
Holland a hard rub. The other match Is
between the two younger Eberhardt s and
the winner of the unfinished Blatherwlck
and Holbrook-Caldwell and Young match.
In the afternoon at 4:.V the seml-flnals tn
the singles will be finished and the greatest
Interest of the day will center around these
matches. Hunt play Fred Eberhardt and
