cating;. A group of well known Nebraska politi
cians gathered In the smoking room of the
Iler Grand an evening or two ago, com
paring notes of their campaigning days and
discoursed upon the vicissitudes of rpeech
making In out-of-the-way localities In or
der to fire the patriot heart up to the requi
site degree of enthusiasm.
"Several yeara ago," remarked a former
candidate for attorney general of Nebraska.
"Oeorge Hastings and I were campaigning
up In Boone county, doing a school house
to srhool house stunt, ant Hastings had a
pretty good speech. It was one he used
everywhere, so having heard It often I got
the speech down pat, and wlicn we reached
Albion, I recollected that the speech I was
to deliver there I had spoken the year be
fore, so the thought seised ma to deliver
nestings' speech. Well It was worth an
election to see Hastings' face when I be
gan to enthuse over his most eloquent per
iods. The audlonce was a big one and
cheered the speech most heartily.
"Well, when It came Hastings' turn to
speak he excused himself on the plea of a
cold, told a good story and the meeting
adjourned. He treated me coolly, but said
nothing, and I began to get a little sus
picious and didn't know Just how he would
get even with me. Hut ho did all right
enough. We ordinarily paid our own hotel
expenses. He would settle both bills at one
town and then the next time I would settle
them. It was his turn to square the bill
at Albion, and so I paid no attention to the
little formality of liquidating the board bill.
When we started away the next morning I
was accosted by a constable Just as I was
getting aboard the train, and Informed that
I was under arrest for trying to Jump a
board hill. Well, It was very humiliating,
specially before a big crowd that was
there at the train to see us away, but there
was no help for It, and aa the train was
about to start I proposed to the constable
that we would be back that way In a short
while and I would put In an appearance to
answer the charge. But the cuss was ob
durate and wouldn't compromise. I was
getting desperate and offered to pay up, but
he Insisted that I would have to go before
the Justice of the peace, as he had no au
thority to settle the matter. The train
whistled to start, and Just then Hastings
poked his head out of a car window and
gave the constable the wink and I was re
leased." "I heard a fairly good story recently on
the pass question," said Kd Newell, a Pes
Moines traveling man. at the Paxton yes
terday. "A chap ran a small paper In an out-of-the-way
Iowa town, whose chief ambition
In life was to get a railroad pass, or free
ticket to a circus or show, and he would go
to any extreme to get It. He had occasion
to go from his town to Des Moines, and
learning that one of the railway magnates
was in hla village he put In a whole day
nearly hunting him up and finally cornered
him at the hotel. The distance from his
town to Dee Molnea was not to exceed fifty
miles, but that fellow spent Just 7 In good
hard caah to work the railroad man for a
12 pass, and then, he didn't get It.
"Incidentally that recalls a case that hap
pened In Iowa a few yeara ago on the pass
question that Is worth repeating. An o:d
tramp printer was beating his way on a
train coming Into Marshulltown and was
railed upon by .the conductor to produce his
transportation. The 'print' told a pathetic
story about misplacing his puss, and that
he was the city editor of a paper published
In an adjacent town and that In changing
hla vest had forgotten the pass when he
loft the office. The conductor hesitated a
moment and told him that the edltor-ln-chlef
of the paper waa In another car. and
that If he would Identify tho 'print.' it
would be all right. He walked back to the
car where the editor-In-chief sat and the
conductor obaerved to the chief that his
city editor waa aboard the train without
transportation and wished to be Identified.
To the complete aatonishment of the 'print'
the editor promptly vouched for him and
the conductor left the two atarlng at each
other. The editor beckoned to the "print"
to sit down beside him, and remarked to
him:
" 'Say, old boy. you helped me out In
great shape. I ain't the editor, but I bor
rowed his pass to make this trip and the
conductor haa been a little shaky about It
ever atneo I've been on the train, but by
your Identifying me It fixes It all right.
Have a cigar.' "
"I waa In Ohio during the Garfield and
Hancock presidential campaign," said a
former Buckeye, In a hotel lobby laat night,
"and among the principal campaign speak
ers In the central part of the state were
Oeorge K. Nasli, now governor of Ohio,
and a former Kanaan. Will E. Querln,
formerly of Fort Scott. Nash snd Querln
were booked for a speech at a place called
Borrora Corners, several miles south of
4'olumbua. It was a solid democratic sec
tlon and It required considerable nerve for
republicans to speak there. In fact, it
waa a common occurrence to mob repub
lican speakers In that locality. However,
the two apeakera put In an appearance on
time and the hall was Crowded. No one
was there to Introduce the speakers, so
Nash, who knew a few of the people down
there, took It upon himself to introduce
Querln aa the first speaker. Querln made
a fin speech, but the audience waa aa
Imperturbable aa a graveyard. Then Nash
got up to apeuk and extolled the virtues
of Qarftold and Arthur, but was very enre
tul not to say anything that might provoke
trmment against Hancock or English. It
waa the effort of Nash's life. He spoke
nearly two hours. The audience i
through the whole meeting without giving
the slightest expression of approval or dis
approval and Nash and Querln felt that
aa they were being listened to with such
quiet respect they were at least making
good Impressions.
"Nash's address was finally closed, and
then a stoical old fellow In the front part
nf the room arose and aaked the apeakera
If they were through, Being- answered af
flrmatlvely the old fellow turned to the
audience ar.d aald:
" "We will now give three cheera for
Hancock and English."
"And they did It with a vim that nearly
unroofed the- building. Sash and Querln
got out of the hall the back way and drove

back up to Columbus, and H was not until
they worn a mile or two away from the
Corners that either spol:e, when Querln
remarked to Nssh:
' 'There were two mighty good speeches
that were wasted on the frlgtdest air that
ever struck this country.' "
'Some of the older Ohloans here In
Omaha will remember General Joe Gelger
of Columbus." continued the Buckeye. "The
general Is dead now, but he always en
Joyed the distinction of being next to the
ugliest msn In the state. Sam Oallo'.'.ay
always prided himself on the fact that his
was the ugliest physiognomy west of the
Alleghenles and no one ever disputed It.
"General Gelger was originally a demo
crat, but In later years he shifted around
from one rarty to the .other and finally
dropped Into the republican camp. He was
a fine speaker and always In demand
during political campaigns. He was billed
on one occasion for a republican speech In
a strong democratic township and the same
night the democrats.were to have a meet
ing at an adjoining school house. Qelger
knew the country like a book and always
drove out to his meetings alone. The cam
paign was an exceedingly warm one and
Gelger put In an appearance at one of
the school houses a little ahead of time.
The building was crowded and Gelger lost
no time In getting down to business. He
noticed, however, that his speech was not
being received with that enthusiasm that
he would like, but that warmed him up
all the more. Before he waa half through
he waa somewhat astonished to see the
democratic orators who were to speak at
the other meeting enter the room and ap
proach the platform. Joe put In all the
time that could possibly be allowed for a
meeting and scored the democracy to a
finish. When he had concluded the audi
ence rapidly left the room and gathered In
groups outside to discuss the sltustfon. One
of the democratic orators, who was billed
to speak. Congressman Joseph H. Outh-
walte, was the first to realize, the situation
nd Informed Mr. Qelger that he had got
to the wrong school house and was address-
ng a democratic meeting. All their ef
forts to get the crowd together again were
navalllng and the democratic orators had
to go home without working off their
speeches. The republican meeting which
Gelger waa to address got tired of waiting
ng for him and adjourned."
COUNT WRITES TO MILLER
De ArgnerT Stays He Intended Relm-
barslnar Omaha Man Hearing
in Albany Today.
Count de Argneff. who has something of
a local record, will have his trial at Roch
ester, N. Y., today, which will determine
whether he la to be brought to Omaha
to answer to the charge of having forged
wo checks and secured the endorsement
of Rome Miller before cashing them. The
evidence which will be brought to bear.
Chief Donahue says. Is conclusive and will
secure the return of the count 'with Cap
tain Dunn. Among the letters in relation
to De Argneff's case and forwarded to
Captain Dunn so that he wltl get them
on this morning's mail, la a letter the
count wrote to Mr. Miller since he haa been
arrested at Rochester. In the letter, the
chief asserts, the count virtually admits
hla guilt and pleads with Mr. Miller to
withdraw the charge, as he Intends reim
bursing him when he can. He tells Mr.
Miller In his letter, the chief says, that
he waa soliciting life Insurance with a view
t? paying back to him what he considered
temporary loan. The manner In which
the count ( obtained the loan, the chief
says, shows an utter lack of - business
principles and a desire to defraud.
Since the count's detention In Rocheater

The man has been In Jail at Anaconda
Butte, Great Fa'ls and Missoula, all cities

the count Hooded that state with spurious
checks and barely escaped being landed In
the penitentiary. He waa In Jail on the
charge of forgery at Butte for several
weeks, but got out of the difficulty by
effecting a compromise, such, probably, as
he suggested In his letter to Mr. Miller."

Sunday evening the chief received a tel

Argneff's guilt. In order that his extradi

Police Mistake Haa Bcea
Mad.
James J. Crowe, residing at 332 North
Twenty-fourth street. South Omaha, was
picked up by the police of that city about
one week ago In company with four other
men. The whole party waa taken on the
charge of belmr suspicious charactere. Sat
urdiiy the South Omaha police telephoned
to tho Omaha station that they held aome
susplcloua persona and would like to have
a man sent down to see If any nf them
were wanted In this city. Two detectives
went to look them over. They spotted
Crowe ss answering the description of the
man who held up the saloon of Henry J.
Oest about a week ago. Oeat was aent for
and positively Identified the man as the
perty who to k his property at the point
of a gun, amounting to $58 In cash, a watch
and revolver. Not satisfied with this, how
ever, one of the other men In the saloon
at the time of the holdup was sent for and
he also Identified the man as the party who
did the work.
The detectlvea were then convinced that
thev had the right man and brought him
to this city. He waa lodged In the city Jail
laat night. During the evening CaDtaln
Mostyn placed him In the sweat box to see
if ha could not be Induced to make a con
fession. After sweating htm for some time
the captain became convinced that he had
mining 10 no wnn me ronnery. He told a
straight-forward atory of his whereabouts
on the night the holdup occurred, and
named aout a fnen residents of South
Omaha who cou'4 vouch for hla good char
acter, ana wno would testify that he had
not been away from that city during the
evening the robbery occurred. Crowe Is
employed at one of the packing houses and
rooms with the foreman under whom he
works. It seema a little queer to the po
lice mat the man could be Identified by
two of the parllea who were held up, espe
cially when tl.ey stated that they could
positively Identify the man If he waa cap
tured.

VERA M1CHELENA
That brightest and sprightllest and most
substantial, withal, of recent comic operas,
"Princess Qhlc." was given Its fourth an
nual welcome In Omaha yesterday by au
diences that crowded the Krug theater to
Its utmost. It may be that the low price of
admission had something to do with the
slse of the attendance, but that' cannot be
said of the merit of the opera. Its posi
tion has long since been established, and
from ocean to ocean It has won Its way as
the best thing since "Robin Hood." and
well worthy to stand on a level with that
famous lyric. Its music Is not particularly
ambitious, btit has the distinctive quality
of tasteful composition, combined with a
persistent regard for harmony and a whole
some respect for public Intelligence. Its
melodies have a lilt and a swing that Is re
freshing. And the story Is a good one, well
told, with Incidental songs thnt have never
wavered In their power to please. It Is
easy to believe that 'Trlncess Chic" will
he sung long after some of the more showy
of modern "musical" productions are mold
ered In forgotten pigeon-holes. It' has both
the quality and substance that entitle It to
endure.
Several changes have been made In the
singing company since It was last here,
but none that affects It seriously, save that
the grand basso profundo of Joseph Miron
Is no longer there to roll out In majestic
volume the refrain to "War Is a Bountiful
Jade." Miss Vera Mlchelena. who waa first
hnrd here last season shortly after being
called upon to sing the role, is leading the
company. She has now the advantage of
experience and the confidence that comes
with It, and allows her glorious voice full
sway with the really pretty songs scored
for the role. Her tones are full and round
and. clear, and she sings with such little
apparent effort that one can easily imagine
she has aa much delight In her song as
does the auditor, and that Is saying much,
for the lover of music must certainly find
pleasure In her singing. Add to this the
freshness of youth and the graceful car
riage of a figure that Is all but perfect In
Its shapeliness, and the secret of her suc
cess Is easily understood. The other prin
cipals In the cast are all good, and the
chorus Is commendable for Its singing abil
ity. Costumes are fresh and bright and the
scenery Is new, the whole making a most
pleasing entertainment.
The theater waa crowded at both per
formances yesterday. The engagement will
continue until after Wednesday evening,
with a matinee on Wednesday.
Vaudeville at the Crelgtiton-Orphenm.
One standing at tho door of the Crelgh-ton-Orpheum
last night could easily have
Imagined that there had been no Interven
tion of a long summer since that popular
place of amusement had given Its last Sun
day evening show. All the "regulars" were
on hand, and they made up an audience
that not only filled the theater, but which
enjoyed a well chosen bill to the utmost
degree. It la a happy combination of muslo,
comedy and athletics, devised to please,
and If laughter and applause form a cri
terion. It Is eminently successful. The
Golden Gate quintet, four 'male and one
female voice, open the program with a
lot of "ooon" songs and foolery, an ex
cellent Imitation of a Chinese chorus, and
some dancing that Is good. "Whistling
Tom" Brown whistles aa musically as ever
and has added some Imitations to the list
he used to please the public with when he
was the bartender in "A Hole In the
Ground." Rosle Rendle, "international
dancer," is graceful and does some inter
esting steps, clad In costumes suggestive
of different nations. Heeley and Meely are
as funny a pair aa 'Omaha haa seen In a
long time. Each ia a finished acrobat,
Meely being especially gifted In the Way
of tumbling ability, and Heeley is a fun
maker of the first class. To Lavender and
Thompson falls the sketch of the evening,
an Interview between an actress posing as
a writer and a pugilist disguised as a foot
ball player. It la cleverly conceived and
well executed. James J. Morton came as
a stranger, but his monologue won him a
standing right off the reel, it is so different.
Time taken In attempt to describe It would
be wasted; one must hear his flow of non
sense In order to appreciate It. Several
times It has seemed as if the limit of poa
alble tricks on the tlcycle had been reach ?d.
but the Kauffmann troupe had added some
new ones, daring and seemingly Impossible,
but "dona with a dash and grace that won
tremendous applause. The klnedrome haa
aome good pictures. Not the least pleas ng
feature of the entertainment is the music
rendered by the orchestra, under the direc
tion of Albln Huster.
The Village Parson" at the Ho yd
Two large audlencea assembled at the
Boyd yesterday to listen to the unfolding
of the simple little tale with the excellent
moral told by "The Village Parson." It
depicts the life of a clergyman whose hap
plnesa has been clouded by the supposed
unfaithfulness of bis wife. This suspicion
la due to the efforts of a rascally lawyer
to separate husband and wife In order
that ha may gain the woman. The situa
tions that develop from this plot and Ita
working out -are strong and full of genuine
heart Interest. The company which pre
aented It here for the two performances la
well balanced and capable, and waa warmly
applauded by the people, who followed the
piece from first to last with much Interest

they were sitting there W. H. Hall and
C. L. Griggs, both living at 11" South
Twelfth street, and William Moore of
Plattsmouth came along. One of the men

which Hall lls st his home In a badly
battered condition.
Tompkins, who resides at 703 Leaven

at an early hour this morning. Griggs,
one of the compnnlons of Hall, rode to the
station In the patrol wagon when Tomp
kins was taken In. According to his story,
the Injuries to Hall's head are due to
bricks thrown by Watton and Tompkins.
Tompkins admits that Watton pounded
Hall over the head with the butt end of a
buggy whip which he was carrying, but
said he did not know whether the whip was
loaded or not. Hall's head bears several
severe cuts and his lips and face were also
bleeding when he was removed to his home

waa resting comfortably this morning and
It Is believed his recovery will be speedy.

made an attempt to charge the gun and
Campbell pulled his revolver. In a second
struggle Dales was shot, the ball striking
him in the back. The prisoner, after being
shot, grappled again with the officer, and
showed fight until he was overpowered by
the other officer, who came to Campbell's
relief. The man's condition ia serious and
may prove fatal.
Campbell surrendered to the authorities
and gave ball for a further hearing on
Tuesday morning. The other four hunters,
all foreigners, are under arrest.
WILL PUNISH GUILTY
(Continued from First Page.)
lng thousands of men on the frontier and
their laboratories are working Incessantly
to replenish their stock of bombs and ex
plosives. They do not count much on war
between Turkey and Bulgaria, but on the
day they hear that the meeting between
the czar and Kmperor Francis Joseph has
not had the desired effect for Macedonia,
the world will witness the beginning of
massacres, burnings and destruction com
pared with which Turkish atrocities will
seem child's play.
The banner of the revolution, my In
formant says, will be unfurled In all the
border districts. Every city and village
whether the Inhabitants are friends or foe,
will be destroyed and such a state of
anarchy will be caused that the Turks
will step out voluntarily and leavo the
country to the Macedonian survivors. We
have selected the frontier districts for these
final operations so that Europe may hear
the despairing cries of the nation which
the Turks would stifle.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20,-Chcklb Bey,
the Turkish minister, has received a dis
patch from his government denying the re
ports which have been published In certain
European papers that the reserves In gar
risons at Prlstlna, Novl Bazar, Voulche
trln, Senltche and Metrovltza aro engaged
In aggressions against the y Christian In
habitants In those places and are commit
ting acts of profanation In the churches.
The minister's advices wore In response
to Inquiries made by the ports of the au
thorities of those cities, whose reply was
that the publications referred to are with
out any foundation whatever and that the
soldiers always observe the rules of mili
tary discipline.
BOSTON GREEKS FILE PROTEST

starlana Into Mace
donia. BOSTON. Sept. 20.-A meeting of the

nearly $1,000 was raised to assist the perse
cuted Greeks In Macedonia.
The speakers were Michael Aragnoe, di
rector of the Perklna Institution for the
Blind; Theodore P. Ion, professor of Inter
national law at Boston university law
school; Mr. Rodanakakis, ex-consul of
Greece, and T. E. Tlmaynls, brother of the
Greek consul. Resolutions of sympathy
with the Macedonian Greeks and of pro
test against Turkish outrage were adopted..

CATTLE There quite n strl.ig of cat
tle : eported this morning for a Saturday,
but most of them were hilled through and
in fact not enough cattle were sold to make
a test of the market. For the week ,-e-celpts
have been fairly llbeinl. as (here Is
an Increase over last week amounting to
more than 6,Wi0 head. As compared with
the corresponding week of last year, how
ever, -there Is a decrea-e of about 15,ut0
head.
There was quite a sprinkling of cornfed
steers In the receipts all the week, but the
demand was In good shape until 'he la e
market on Thursday. At that time packers
began pounding the market In bad sh'ipe
srd continued the same tactics on Friday.
On those two daya they took off about .the,
which left the market right around a quar
ter lower than at the close of laat week.
All kinds suffered In the decline. One of
the principal reasLna for this break In prices
at this point was the decline at eastern
markets earlier In the week, which lft this
market out of line, and packers conse
quently had to take It all on at one time.
It Is not safe to quote rood to choice corn
feds higher than S5.3W5.50, while fair to
good cattle would sell from S4.75 to $5.25 and
commoner kinds from S4.3K to $4.r5.
The cow market has held up In much rei
ter shape than the market for cornfed
steers. Good to choice grades can safely be
quoted about steady. By this Is meant grata
itock good enough to bring $2.90 or cornfeds
good enough to sell above $3 75. A stilctly
choice bunch of cornfeds ought to sell right
I. round $4.50. while choice grassers could be
quoted up to $3 65. The cattle that have
suffered are the medium and common cows,
such as sell from $2.75 down, but even those
arc not more than Wrt20c lower.
Dulls, veal calves nnd stags have shown
very little change all the week and could
Hot be quoted anything but steady. Choice
veals sell up to $5.00 and grass bulls se'l
largely from $2.00 to $2.50. Cornfeds are
verv scarce.
This has been nbout the most successful
week of the season In the stocker and
feeder division. The demand from the coun
try has been heavier, so that, although re
ctlpts have been liberal, prices hsve been
Ftrong all the week and not many cattle
will be carried over Sunday In the hands of
speculators. The best gradea are safely loiii
15c higher, and by that is mesnt rhclc
heavy dehorned rattle and also choice
horned eattle of good weight. Llht snd
common stuff has sold more rendlly tills
week, but the prices hsve not Improved to
nnv ri-Mt extent. Strlctlv choice heavv cut
tle could be onoted from $4W0 to $t.i0. fair
to good from 13.60 lo S3.90 and fair to me
dium from S3 15 to STfiO.
There wns a good supply of western beef
steers on hand the first of the week, but,
the same as has been the esse all the sea
son, the qualltv was rather Inferior, but
phowed some Improvement over the lost
ffw weeks. Good to choice cattle found
rendv sale from $3.75 to 4 50, but the bulk
of the general run sold from $T. C3 to $3.50.
The enrlv part of the week prices were a
little higher and the latter part there were
not enough cattle offered to test the market,
but owing to the break In cornfed" It Is
safe to sav thst sll the advance would have
been lost and probably more, too. especlslly
on the common kinds. The best grades of
range cows sre about stendv for the week
snd mav be quoted from $3 00 to $3.05. Fair
to good grades are about l(Vfi 20c lower and
Kell from $2 50 to $2 90. Csnners sre also 10
2rtc lower and sell from $1.76 to $ 26. West
ern stockers nnd foeders sre lof15c higher
where the nualltv is choice, with the gen
eral run of eatt'e also a little strons-er.
Thev have been selling In the notcheg
quoted above.
1TOOS There was a very light run of
hogs here this morning even for a stitr
day. snd the market advanced Just about
a nickel. The market on paper showed
more of an tdvance than that, but ths
qunlltv was considerable better than ves
terdav. an there were more lightweights.
The heavv hogs sold largely from $5.6'. to
$'70. with common stuff going from $3.6'
down: meldum weight sold from $5.70 to
$5 75 and 'Ights from $5.75 to $5.85. Trsdlng
wss fairly active, so that a reasonably
earlv clearance was made In spite of the
fact" that trolns were slow In arriving.
For the week receipts show a decrease
as compared with lat week amounting
to about SOO0 head. As compared with the
corresponding week of last year, however,
there 1 an Increase of about 9.ort) head.
The Increase In hog receipts for the year
to date now amounts to about 7.0OU head.
The general tendency of prices has been
unwfrd this week and a net gain of about
lie Is noted. This advance carries the
market to the hlsh point of the month and
In fact to the highest nolnt reached since
Tune 26 The feature of the market Is the
discrimination of packers against common
nogs of all weights. Hogs lacking In oual
Itv even If thev are light have to rell down
with the heavy hogs, and where the hogs
.-.re both heavv and common they are very
hard to dispose of and have to sell cpn
.iderably below the bulk of the sa'es.

IONDON, Sept. 20. With the serious po
litical crisis lit tireat iirltaln added to th
hardening of money rates and gloomy
Balkan prospects the operators on the Stoclc
xchunge lust week observed extreme cau
tion, Rualness de'Teitied and price
dropped all around. Koll iwlng the unpre
cedented depression of unsols the best
gilt-edged ccurttieN nve way. The weak
ness In the Iron market, both here and in
Ihe United States, tended to Inner prices.
Business iu the America 11 market was of
the smallest proportions. Atchison nnd
Union Pacific siiowlng tho most marked
decline of the w holn list. Canadian rail
roads also closed lower un the week s deal
ings. Manchester loth Market.
MANCHESTER. Sept. 20.-CL4VTII-Rusiness
was slow and disappointing
and the turn over was poor, isolated lines
were booked for India. The China trade
ran chiefly to fancies and there were few
Inquiries for staples, although a large
business is awaiting more favorable con
ditions. Miscellaneous South American
trade was done. '
Unless cotton comes forward better than
espeottd the next few weoks are expected
to be the most trying that the manufac
turers have yet experienced. Yarns weia
