row the agony and suspense over the reve
nue law will be ended no far aa the eu
Iremo court commissioners are concerned,
and then begin the worry aa to what the
supreme court will do with the opinion of
the commissioners. The commissioners will
file their opinion In the caae with the clerk
of the court tomorrow afternoon, and they
have stated there will be nothing to pre
vent thla action.
The cnae based on thia opinion will then
bo argued before the supreme court proper
at the aittlng on December I. The opinion
of the court probably will come down at
the npxt Kitting, December IS, which la the
day the Hoard of Assessment and Equall
aatlon meets for the flrat time under the
new law. That there la a aerlous differ
ence of opinion existing between the three
commissioners who heard the argument In
' the cuae there la no doubt, and Juat what
their final opinion will be no one on the
nutKido can predict with any degree of cer
tainty. Judge Duffle wrote the opinion, of
course, after he and his fellow commie
rlonera had agreed on a line of reasoning
to a certain conclusion. It waa the cplti
ton of the commissioners that It would
not take more than thirty minutes, after
they got together Saturday afternoon, to
agree upon tho opinion and announce it.
Kvldently, however, Judge Duffle raised
some point in his argument to reach the
conclusion, or by hla arguments reached
a conclusion that waa not anticipated by
the other commissioners, for the thirty
, minutes passed, then another, and then
hours passed without the agreement bring
reached between the three men. It waa
finally announced by them that the opinion
would be ready by Monday afternoon.
This disagreement of the commissioner i
. caused much comment here, and ne.-.rly
everybody la speculating on the result.
Hut no one knowa Juat what to guess. It
may mean that Judge Duffle fou id the law
unconstitutional, and his colleagues failed
to see It that way, or It may mean Just
the opposite. Whatever the decision Is, it
will be a relief to a large number of people
to know it.
' Ooteriior Watnts t ow.
-The simple announcement by the private
aecretary of Governor Mickey that the
CoVernor had gone to the penltentlHry, was
the occasion yesterday of a rush for that
institution by a half doi-n local reporters
nnd the unearthing of the terrible story
that the governor had tried to buy a cow.
Hut connected to the cow there Is a tale,
and as told by an eye witness It Is not
without some interest, In that It shows how
the governor of the state goes about such
business.
For some time the governor has had
hJ.i weather eye out for tt bovine that
would be of such a pedigree and of such
docile temperament that when matters of
state became a drudgery, he could rush
to the eelf-same cow and by the sight of
her be transferred back to the green fields
of old Polk county, where he spent so
1 many happy,, careless days. To the tnd
that he might the sooner realise his desire
the governor requested many of his ap
pointees to keep a watch for what he
wanted,. Warden , Bcerorfwaa the first to
- dim-over the animal. He telephoned the
governor that the cow waa owned by a
farmer living tn the neighborhood of the
penitentiary -and that he gladly recom
mended hsr.,, -r
While a number of att orneys and others
were gathered around the door of the
room In which the supreme court commis
sioners' were- wrestling with the revenue
ltw, the. governor doffed his Prince Al
bert, donned a sack coat and sallied forth
on a trot, leaving behind the statement
to Inquirers that he had gone to the penl-
. tcmlary.
And after introductions had been made
by (Warden Beemer, here Is how the gov
ernor did It. With Warden Beemer and
Farmer Francis he trudged through a
forty-acre field to where a number of cows
were browsing. On the rOad over the gov
ernor Impressed It upon Farmer Francis
that he wanted a' "fresh"- cow. Evidently
the herd contained many such for when
the trio hove In sight, unmindful of gub
ernatorial dignity, five of the cows shoved
their terminals high In the air and with
- a bellow and a snort stampeded for cover
forty rods away. These were apparently
too fresh for the governor, .for'he remarked
. that they were most too frivolous for his
nds.
Then the governor aided ' up to what
looked like a thoroughbred shorthorn.
Farmer Francis warned him that this cow
was somewhat deceitful. The governor
heeded not however. He thumped her sides,
fill hef pulse lit the fore leg, found her
nose wet, polished her horns and called
hsr "boss." Then ho c-rooked hla own
pedal extremities at the knees and sat
down on his heels. He stuck out hla hand
In the usual wny and grabbed that from
which the milk la shot Jnto the bucket.
He started the stream and then the cow
started something. She raised up In her
dignity with both hind feet. While she
missed the governor as she tore away, the
hock of dodging was almost sufficient to
Jar from the governor the call for an extra
session. That ended it. The governor didn't
bujr.

Lincoln has a number of "grub rushers"
and the police are busy trying to make a
few arrests. During the Jast few evenings
about twenty meals have been worked Kit
of the restaurant keepers and so far no
one has been found to answer to the de
scription of the culprits. The plan In sev
eral Instances has been this: Three men
go Into a restaurant and after eating hand
to the cashier a tJO bill. The cashrer In
three different restaurants was unable to
change the bill and the owner goes out to
get the change, the other two stepping out
the front door to wait for him." They
never come back.
The Lincoln police had a man In Jatl sev

one of the men who held up the Hanscom
park line motor car In Omaha several days
ago and robbed the moterman, conductor
and a passenger of a watch each. The man
had three watches In his pockets, but as
the Omaha police failed to notify the Lin

knew nothing of It, the man was discharged
because no one could be found who would

SUPERIOR, Neb., Nov. 22. (Special.)
That the man who murdered John Anshuts
the wealthy Smith county farmer. Is still In
the region between Red Cloud and Lebanon
Is evidenced by a second murderous sssault
which occurred Monday night. Anshuts's
brother came out from the east trf attend
the funeral of the murdered roan. He went
to Smith's livery stable In Red Cloud and
secured a team and driver to. tako him to
his brother's place. When tho driver was

waylaid and beaten Insensible. His team
afterward ran off and got Into a barbed
wire fence and was cut up. The driver,
who had been struck on the head with
something blunt. In Id In the road all night,
and It will be remembered that Monday
night was a very cold one. . Next morning
his team was found by a searching party
and a little later the driver was discovered.
The northern part of Smith county is set
tled by a very intelligent and well-to-do
class of farmers, but in the past four or
Ave months there have been a number of
terrible crimes committed there. The first
was the shooting of a young man by a 16-year-old
lad. The young man lived and the
lad was not prosecuted. Next followed the
triple murder.of Tom Madison, then the
killing of Anshuts, and last, the attempt to
kill the Red Cloud driver.

closeness of the vote, Hon. J. R. Hanna
having a majority of only two' votes over

Mr. O. H. Swlngley, tax adjuster for the:
Union Paclfto Railway . company, spent
Tuesday afternoon in Gothenburg looking
up the late bond Issue of $6,000 made by the
school board to Individual holders of war
rants. The Union Pacific will fight the
bond issue upon the grounds that it dis
criminates against tho district In favor of
the broker or warrant holder. Had the law
provided for the Issuing of bonds tn blocks
for the Indebtedness against the district,
and allowed the district to have sold same
to tho highest bidder, then there would
have been no discrimination 'against the
district, but as the law now la, it provides
that when there Is no money In the district
treasury and there ore outstanding war
rants held by any broker all he has to do
Is to demand a bond for the Indebtedness,
which draws Interest at per cent, while
the holder ran place them at 4 and make 2
per cent per annum, which the taxpayers
of the district are compelled- to pSty. -

CONDITION OF PHILIPPINES
Colonel Edwardi Reports on Matters Affect
ing 111 andt of the Eait
SHIPPING LAW MAY BE TROUBLESOME
Requirement thnt All Inte-rlslnad
Shipments Be Carried In Amerlcnn
Vessels Will Re Hard to
Enforce at First. -
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The develop
ment of the Philippine Islands during the
past year, together with a review of pend
ing questions of importance, relating to
the archipelago, is contained In the annuil
report of Colonel Clarence R. Edwards,
chief of the bureau of Insular affairs of
the War department, made .public today.
The accomplishment of greatest Importance
to the Islands during the year has been
the successful launching of the new fiscal
system. By January 1 next the new system
will be In complete operation. The new
circulation medium consists of 18.000,000
pesos and fractional silver coins and
10,000,000 pesos In paper money. To estab
lish the new system and purchase the
sliver coinage two Issues of bonds were
made of $3,000,000 each, both of which were
sold at a premium. The proceed of the
aale of these bonds were deposited and
drew Interest at the rate of SH P" cent,
so that the government actually made
money by going Into debt.
Colonel Edwards emphaslxes the neces
sity of a reduction of the Dlngley rates
for the encouragement of trade; between
the United States and the Philippines.
There Is an active desire on the part of
Philippine commercial interests, he says,
for tariff concessions, and the report states
that the same desire has been evidenced
by the same Interests In this country. The
chief exports of the islands to the United
States are sugar, tobacco, hemp and copra.
The latter two commodities already are on
the free list.
(hipping Law Troublesome,
Aside from the tariff question the matter
of most serious moment for the future Is
the enforcement of the congressional act
requiring the carrying trade between the
United States and the Philippines, as well
ns tho coastwlHp trade, to be confined
strictly to vessels carrying the American
flag after July 1 next. At the present time
Philippine commerce is carried In British
ships to tho extent of 59 per cent of the
foreign trado of tho Islands. All other
foreign vessels carried practically tho re
malnder of this commerce, leaving only 3
per cent to American vessels.
A fleet of ut leust eighteen American
ships Is being constructed and the predic
tion la made that, despite the apprehen
sion now felt, American ships will be ready
to take the place of foreign vessels with
out seriously Inconveniencing the shipping
Interests.
The enforcement of this act, however.
presents a muoh more difficult problem.
There are now 4.1?5 vessels engaged In the
coastwise trade of the Islands. Of this
number vonly twenty-two are American
ships. With the whole number of ships
now participating In this trade the tannage
Is said to be entirely inadequate and the
pessenger service wretched.
It Is suggested that the building of light
draft vessels to participate In this carry
Ing business presents a frplendld oppor
tunity for the profitable Investment of
American capital and the uncertainty as to
probable future congressional action is as
sertod to be the reason why no steps are
be;ng Uken to supply the coming impera
tive demand for American built ships.
serious Questions of l.av .
Colonel' Edwards calls cttention to what
he terms "the second stage of development
for the Phllippino government," an evi
denced by the Increased work of the law
offico of his bureau during the last year.
The change from a military to a civil
government In the Islands has developed
many intricate and interesting questions of
law. A number of cases involving claims
aggregating largo sums are now pending
In the United States court of claims, while
other questions are before the circuit
courts of this country.
The amount of import and export duties
collected under the military regime forms
the basis for most of the cluims. One of
the questions of most Interest presented
Is that of the right of the president of
the United States to exercise the power
of legislation in the Philippines prior to
the establishment of a civil government.
Philippine history, as contained tn vast
collection of Insurgent war records now In
possession oi me Dureau, is a worn involv
ing painstaking dissemination, but prom
ises to add much of permanent interest
to the literature of the Islands.
The education of Filipino youths in this
country for the purpose of making them the
future teachers of the native schools of
the Island has begun under an act passed
last summer by the Insular government.
Ninety-eight young Filipinos are now on
their way to this country for that purpose.
They will attend the grammar schools of
southern California during the winter and
In the spring be distributed In the went
and eastern parts of the United States for
further education.
Colonel Edwards optimistically aays that
the Filipiro exhibit at the St. Louis ex
position will be the feature of that show.
Through an amendment to the civil serv
ice regulations of the United States made
by President Roosevelt to take effect April
16, transfers will be Allowed from the civil
employes of the Philippines to government
positions In this country, thus accomplish
ing an end which has been vigorously con
tended for by Colonel Edwards for some
time and making efficient service In the
Philippines a stepping stone to better places
at homo and thus raising the standard of
efficiency and creating a new inducement
to desirable clerks.

Situation.
CRJTPLE CREEK, Colo., Nov. 82. Sheriff
Robertson, after Investigating conditions In
the sixth level of the Vindicator mine,
where Superintendent Charles McCormack
and Shift Boss Beck were killed yesterday
by an explosion, coincides with the state
ment of the officials of the company that
a deliberate attempt hnd been made to
wreck the shaft with dynamite. The ac
tive committee of the Mine Owners' and
Operators' association has offered a reward
of 5,000 for evidence leading to the arrest
and conviction of the perpetrators. In a
statement this committee says:
The killing of Superintendent McCormack
snd Melville Beck was one of the most
diabolical crimen ever darkening the annals
of Colorado and Is another step In the trail
of blond which has been made by the
Western Federation of Miners In the state.
The time has passed for selecting fine
terms In which to speak of these matters
and we do not hesitate to say that this
crime was devised and executed by, the
Inner circle of this organisation.
This statement Is made only after ft
careful investigation of the facts, which
shriw conclusively thnt these men met their
death through a scheme so cunningly de
vised and carefully executed as to tax the
Ingenuity of the most experienced criminal.
Of late the district has been filling up
with the class of men who openly boost
of what they propose to do. Not a single
circumstance surrounding this crime is
compatible with the theory of aceldent.
and with any other theory than that of
premeditated murder.
The district executive committee of the
Western Federation of Miners characterises
the explosion as a "lamentable attack, re
gretted by all." and adds; "but prejudiced
Individuals who rarely know anything of
what they talk about have passed Judg
ment and denounce It as a cold-bloodod
murder. Experience teaches, however, that
these people are not above making capital
of any misfortune."
In consequence of these outrages Gov
ernor Peabody has reinstated Adjutant
General Sherman E. Bell in command of
the militia In this camp, succeeding Color!!
Edward Vedecksburg, who has been In
command since General Bell's retirement

Utah Sheriff Wants Troops.
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 22. Sheriff Wll-

The local polic authorities and deputy
sheriffs are not sufficient and are power

anil order.
My resources are exhausted and I believe
It my duty to call on you us governor of
the state for aid and assistance at Scolleld

Sheriff Wilcox sajs he has already ar
rested several parties who were discharg

ing men who wished to work, and reports
that at Scofleld'men have been assaulted
and threatened with death If they per
sisted in working against the strike agita

from Stajte Coal -Mine Inspector Thomas
indicating, that many more tnlnw-s are on
strlko than has previously been reported.
Mr. Thomas mya that at Sunnyslde less
than 100 men out .f 850 are at work. At
Castle Gate only twenty-four men are i-t
work.
The main point of difference between the
miners and their employers Is recognition
and this the coal companies positively re
tune to consider. The state board of arbi
tration . has uttered its services In settling
the difficulty. . .

Baits arrived here today to investigate the
strike conditions in Colorado. Upon his
report repends whether or not tho War de
partment will comply with Governor Pea

Tellurlde. He left for Tellurlde tonight.
After a visit to General Baldwin, com
mander of this department.) General Bates
said, in an Interview, that his being here
was no reflecton on General Baldwin. "I
am entirely Ignorant of the situation, and
will look into matters thoroughly," he con
tinued. "Tho way Governor Peabody'g re
quest was worded caused the War depart
ment to reply ihat troops could not be fur
nished, but if conditions are such that
there Is need of federal troupe, I have no
doubt they will be sent. I shall go from
here to Tellurlde, and will probably stop
at Cripple Creek a few days as I return."

"One of the few immortal names that
were not born to die" may be said of
Robert Emmet, too. 80 long as Irish blood
runs warm In Irish veins, the memory of
that unhappy young hero will be kept
bright in Irish minds, and Irish hearts will
always beat faster when ills meluncholy
fate Is recalled. One hundred years have
passed since his proud soul poured out In
almost matchless eloquence Its final de
fiance of the rule of King George of Eng
land and took Its (light, and now in the
centennial year of his memory, when peace
seems to be at last the portion of the
land for which he gave hla life, he has
been made the hero of a play. It will not
bo said by even the most enthusiastic thnt
the play can do him Justice, for the Irish
mind will no more be content with the
presentment of Emmet 011 the stage than
would the American with that of Washing
ton, a thing the playwright has not yet
the temerity to attempt. But In the play
Robert Emmet Is treated reverently and
with such manifest sympathy that no fault
can be found on that score. Some of the
known incidents of his life have been con
nected with certain mythical events, the
whole making a strong story in which the
cause of Ireland in the Ineffectual revo
lution of 1803 is made the principal end a
pretty love story the subplot, the result
being strong in both dramatic and "heart"
Interest.
Mr. Robert Conness plays the role, of
Emmet, con amore, making him n dash
ing, warm hearted young mun, full of his
biff scheme for overturning English mis
rule In the Emerald Isle and struggling
against a strong stream of unfortultous
circumstances, surrounded by treachery
and finally betrayed into the hands of the
men who sought his life through the me
dium of the girl he loved and who loved him.
A naturalness marks tha work of Mr.
Conness that is most refreshing, for at no
time does he descend to the artifices a less
conscientious actor might adopt r.ni
thereby cheapen the part he is called on
to enact. In the final act he delivers Rob
ert Emmet's speech from the dock with
great effect.
Next to Mr. Conness the best bit of Being
done is by Mr. t-ullivan, in the role of Mike
Dwyer. This Is well . conceived and ex
cellently carried out. Mr. Fawcett finds
Darby Keegan quite to his liking, and Mr.
La Rue gives much life to the thankless
role of Laccy, who betiays Robert Emmet
Edward O'Connor has much to do in the
part of Jimmle Noonan, but loses much of
the effect of the role through an apparent
misconception of what he tries to make tha
humor of It. He "gets the laugh," but
mars the artistic result by doing so.
Among the women in the cast the trying
part of Borah Curran falls to the lot of Miss
Russell, who gradually develops the force
of the' role, until she makes It strongly
dramatic. Miss Martin's conception of the
patriotic Irish peasant girl, Anne Devlin, Is
a tine companion piece for Mr. Sullivan's
Dwyer. . Others In tho long fast do what
is set for them with taste and discrimina
tion. The piece has been given a most ambitious
setting; rarely indeed, is scenery so appro
priate ond effective seen. The second act,
showing a pass in the Wlcklowe mountains,
is as realistic a bit of the scenic artist's
work as was ever put on an Omaha stage.
Two audiences that Jammed the Krug thea
ter like a cross-town car during the rush
hour witnessed the performances yesterday
and applauded the "patriots" and hissed
the red coats with vigor. The piece will be
on until after Wednesday evening.
Vaudeville at the Crelghton-Orpheuni.
Two things will strike the patron of the
Orpheum this week neither "sketch" nor
"musical" aft appears on the bill. Instead,
some really clever specialty work makes up
a program that Is full of laughter for the
auditor ull the time. The decided novelty
of the bill. In many ways the best of the
sort ever shown in Omaha, Is Rousby's "In
Paris," a series of electrical tableaux, Im
possible of description, but each unique and
beautiful. One effect, which Is practically
a day in the Alps, including os It does the
simulation of sunrise, the valley flooded
with sunlight, a rainstorm, a rainbow, sun
set, the afterglow, darkness, the village
lights and the moonrise. showing the shim
mer of the light on the lake under the
evening breeze, is a wonderful combination
of lighting results, other features sre
equally interesting.
Antrim and Peters Introduce the bill with
some songs and Imitations of various ani
mals and musical Instruments that are
remarkably accurate. George Austin ad
vertises himself as king of the high wire. !
and if he doesn't give you your money's
worth, you are hard to please. His act
Is as original as It Is pleading. Mclntyre
and Prlmose furnish the real thing In black
face comedy, and the three Crane brothei-s
give a burlesque minstrel first part that is
laughable beyond description. Iredo and j
Blake are a clever pair cf comedy aero
bats, and the Mac-art monkeys and doxs
afford much fun by thlr pei foi ma nee,
doing some clever and some very comic
stunts. Two monkeys with strings of
sleighbells actually shake out recognisable
tunes The klnodrotne pictures are all new
snd entertaining.
'The Girl from Sweden' at the Boyd.
Two large audiences witnessed the presen
tation of the latest of dialect comedies at
the Boyd yesterday. "The Girl from
Sweden" Is not a farce comedy, nor is it
a melo-drama puie and simple, but is
really a gooC comedy-dratua, telling a con
nected story In a direct way. It involves
the fortunes of the necessary heroine and
hero, both happening to be from Sweden,
and introduces the Inevitable villain and
assistant villain, but here the semblance
to the stereotyped play of the sort ceases.
The theme Is handled differently and the
working out of the plot has been on origi
nal lines. Miss Louette Babcock has the
pail of the girl from Sweden, and makes
her lovable as well ss laughable. She has
for a foil Neils Jansen, In the hands of
"Swede" Bill Hall, who gives much force
to the role of hero. Norwegian, Irish, In
dian and Chinese characters mingle In tint
cast, the scene being laid in tike new purt
of Manitoba, and the whole la given with it
