eetloa with Recent
Scandal.
Mutters have reached a crisis In the ease
or Capuin O. W. Klrkman of the Twenty
fifth United States Infantry, at Fort Nio
brara. A new court-martial haa been or
dered In hli case, to convene at Fort Nio
brara March 21, 16. It will consist of
Color.cl E. B. Pratt, Thirtieth Infantry,
president of the court; Lieutenant Colonel
Walter S. Scott, Eleventh Infantry; Major
George B. Cecil, Thirtieth Infantry; Major
R. M. Blatchford, Eleventh Infantry; Major
Daniel L. Howell, Eighteenth Infantry;
Major Charles F. Kleffer and Major George
li. Jjeshon, medical department; Captain
Charles H. Orlerson, Tenth cavalry; Cap

alry; Captain Albert C. Blunt, Artillery
corps; Captain James A. Cole, Sixth cav
alry; Captain William T. Wilder, Eleventh
infantry, with First Lieutenant Beverly A.
Read. Sixth cavalry. Judge advocate. None
of the officer of Captain Ktrkman's regi
ment, the Twenty-fifth infantry, are mem
ben thereof and the detail la assembled
from nearly every post in the Department
of the Mlsoourl.
May Relieve the Old Coart.
The creation of this new court-martial
will probably obviate the continuance of
the recent court-martial called for the trial
of Captain Klrkman on the general charge
of "conduct unbecoming an officer and gen
tleman," In which a continuance haa been
recently taken at the urgent request of the
defendant to May 10, In order that he might
secure material testimony or depositions
from the Philippines, to confirm the posi
tion of the defense that Klrkman Is Insane.
The wide publicity given the Klrkman
trial through the recent tragic suicide in
this city of Mrs. Louis B. Chandler, wife
of an officer of the Twenty-fifth Infantry,
and the association of her name with' that
Of Captain Klrkman has caused the mili
tary authorities to prefer new charges
tgalnrH Captain Klrkman and try him un
der these charges, with the possibility of
the dissolution of the former court-martial,
which had been continued to May 10. The
detailed nature of these new charges can
not be ascertained until they are formally
submitted to the court upon Its assembling
on March 21.
Encounter Between Men.
More and more of the Chandler-Klrkman
scandal has been leaking out since the
death of the unfortunate woman. It ap
pears that she had been summoned to
Fort Niobrara during the recent court
martial of Captain Klrkman as a witness,
nd a personal altercation occurred be
tween Lieutenant Chnndler and Captain
Klrkman, in which Klrkman whs badly
handled, and the departure of Mrs. Chan
dler from the fort materially hastened
thereby, with hei suicide at the Paxton
hotel In this city shortly following. A
friend of Lieutenant Chandler, In discuss
ing this episode a few days ago, said:
"From what 1 know of the affair between
Chandler, his wife and Klrkman, Chan
dler would be perfectly justified In killing
him like a dog, and no court in Christen
dom would convict him of murder."
, In referring , to the effort of Captain
Klrkman to resign from the army while
under charges, the Army and Navy Res
Ir-tcr hints that potent western railway In-"
fluences may be exerted In behalf of Cap
tain. Klrkman to enable : his retirement
from the army on the plea, of Insanity.
This hint from the Register comes from
the fact that Second Vice President M. M.
Klrkman of the Northwestern line Is an
uncle ot Captain Klrkman.
SPORTS OF A DAY.
UNITED STATES SUPPLY PLANS
Rumors of Intended Balldlna- at
Ninth and Far nam Are
Again Current.
The United States Supply company may
be the next Jobbing house to put up a new
building of Its own. The managers of the
business aro understood to have not yet
definitely decided on this step, but the
probabilities are that the new building will
go up. The company owns ground at the
southwest Corner of Ninth and Farnam
streets, which Is now vacant. President
Burnham will furnish the building. If It Is
built, for his company on a leasing ar
rangement. It was rumored In business
circles that Mr. Burnham would come In
from the west some time this week
to.-confer with J. B. Rahm, who is
vice president and general manager of tho
company and has chargo of its business
hers. ' Mr. Rahm, however, denies that
Mr. Burnham Is coming to Omaha at this
time. The company, which does a manu
facturing and Jobbing business In wrought
.iron piping and similar supplies. Is now
, located ai .ieventn and Harney streets, in
leased property, which la rather too small
for the business. The property of the
company at Ninth and Farnam street's Is
rather narrow, o that a building there to
accommodate the supply business will have
to be from five to six stories.

NEW DEAL IN GREEN GOODS
Nebraska Farmer Invests and Starts a
Neat Tangle of Crime.
EXPRESS COMPANY HAS THE REAL CASH
"Deleetlre" Gets In the Game, bat
Fails to Land the Money,
After GIvlasT the Vic
tim a Scare.
As a result of too much confidence In a
Chicago enterprise which promised him un
der certain conditions $2,600 In bills that
looked so much like the genuine stuff that
the Treasury department would be easily
deceived, David Deacon of a western Ne
braska hamlet Is out $260.
Mr. Deacon bit at a circular letter sent
him from Chicago, which wanted him to
become the confidential agent of the writ
ers In putting out some "goods" In his
vicinity. The "goods" were made from
plates stolen from the Treasury depart
ment. Mr. Deacon was thrilled with the
thought of making such easy money of
$2,500 for a paltry $150, so he sent to
Chlcngo for the stuff. It came to
him by express, C. O. D., and when he
saw the little oblong box at the express
office, he coughed up his. little old $250
like a man. He Intended to pay off the
mortgage on tho place with the stuff, nnd
then move farther west and start a bank
and become his own depositor. But before
doing so he went out Into the barn, locked
the door and proceeded to count the $2,600.
The box waa securely wrapped, and when
the last wrapping waa taken off there waa
revealed to him a handsome tin lacquered
box. He opened the box with some trepi
dation, and then nearly, fell out of the
haymow window when he saw. Instead of
$2,500 In crisp, new greenbacks. Just a
measly block of wood.
Harries to the Authorities.
Then Mr. Deacon got busy as soon as he
could mop the perspiration from his brow
and catch his breath. He mounted his
horse and road at a John Gilpin rate to
the express office and asked for the return
of his noney or to at least stop the ex
press company from sending it to Chicago
He was politely told that the only way
he could recover the money was to replevin
It. Here again he was up against It hard.
The express agent told him that he would
keep the money there and report the case
to the head office at Omaha for further
Instructions.
In the meanwhile the Chicago end of the
enterprise began to get busy. A tracer
or detective was sent out to the Deacon
place and he informed Mr. Deacon that If
he undertook to replevin the money he
would become a party to the crime and
would go to the penitentiary sure.
Express Company- Has the Coin.
Then Mr. Deacon packed his grip and
left that section. Coincident with Deacon's
departure a detective dropped into Omaha
a few days ago and visited the express
office management and asked that the $250
paid over by Deacon be turned over to
him, on the ground that ne was a de
tective for the attorneys of the firm with
whom Deacon had been doing business, and
In confidence he said that it was really a
detectlvo firm that was trying to locate
western shovers of counterfeit money, and
that Deacon was a bad man. The ex
press company management declined to
turn over the money, but stated to the
detective that If he had any right to It, or
If his employers had any right to It that
they could readily get It by a process of
replevin.
No proceedings In replevin have yet been
commenced by either Mr. Deacon, or by
the "detective" or his employers. In' the
meanwhile 'the express company is $160
to the good. ;

"The Lion's Skin." by John 8. Wise
(Doubleday, Page & Co.), Is a novel of
Virginia during the reconstruction days of
the south. The author writes from per
sonal knowledge and while there may be
more or less personal feeling shown In the
ttory It Is safe to say that there Is less
than has been shown by Tourgee, Dixon
and a number of others who have dealt
with events of the same period. The race
question Is touched upon, and while the
author offers no solution of the questions
he Is optimistic and believes that time will
bring a solution, and this with the su
premacy of the white race. There Is a love
story woven through the volume which
does not detract from the real purpose Of
the volume, which seems to be to give tho
author's Idea of the real conditions which
existed at the close of the civil war. The
book Is well written and as far as one may
Judge taking into consideration the bias of
fhe author, as well as the prejudices of
other writers on the subject far more un
prejudiced than the usual novels dealing
with the reconstruction days.

hold up its head with the best of them.
The cover ahows a pretty girl holding con
verse with a pert Easter rabbit to the
neglect of a great sheaf of lilies which
lies at her feet. Three handsome full pages
In color give a pleasant brightness to the
book, and nearly all the other pages are
beautified by one or more pictures. The
fashions and millinery are In perfect ac
cord with trie spring season, and give ad
vance suggestions for the summer; a
special feature Is an article on yachting
and seashore costumes for ladles and young
folks. A picture story of "Dorothy and the

the fancyworker will find lacework, em
broidery, ribbon-work and crochet to test
her skill. Easter verse, Easter entertain

the attractiveness of this number.

new novel, so closely following the author's
75th birthday, attracts attention to the fact
mat our American authors have been and
are today a long-lived class. Dr. Holmes
attained the age of 86; Whlttler and Har
riet Beecher Stowe died at 84; Bryant at
83; Emerson at 78; Irving at 76; Longfel
low at 76. Of authors still living, and with
one or two exceptions actively at work,
Julia Ward Howe will be 86 in May; Ed
ward Everett Hale Is 83; Moncure Conway
Is 72;; Mark Twain Is 68, and William D.
Howells will be 68 this March. Holmes and
Whlttler both did some of their best work
after 75.
"What It Really Means to Be a Member
of Congress," an Instructive personal view
of official life In ths popular branch of
congress, forms the leading feature of tha
March number of Donahue's Magazine.
Equally Interesting Is a descriptive article
on Tallaght, the home of Father Tom
Burke, the famous Dominican preacher who
lectured In tha United States a few years
before his death. There are in. addition
several critical and descriptive papers, Ac
tion,' poetry and reviews of current events.
The Illustrations are numerous and illumi
nating. The March Bookloovers presents two not
able articles, the first by Hall Caine on
"The Religion of the Novel." a character
sketch of Henry Watterson, editor of tho
Louisville Courier-Journal, by Joseph M.
Rogers, with a portrait, and reprints of
Thomas Nast s cartoons of the noted edi
tor, orlglnully published during the excit
ing times of the Hayes-Tllden presidential
controversy. A variety of timely subjects
follow the leaders.. Six reproductions In
colors of famous paintings adorn the num
ber, beside artists' sketches, photographs
and cartoons.
WASHINGTON. March 14 The discus
sion of the Dominican treaty In executive
session of the ser .te today resulted In the
drawing of party lines. The democrats
who have been reported as likely to sup
port the treaty will return to the fold. It
is said, and on both sides of the chamber
It Is admitted there Is little prospect that
the convention will be ratified. The repub
licans have been depending on some demo
cratic support and have counted as certain
the votes of Senators McKnery and Foster
of Louisiana and Clarke of Arkansas. Sen
ator Gorman, the minority loader, gave no
tice today that the.-je senators arc now
pledged against the - treaty, and it was
stated that Senator McEnery tomorrow
will recall his telegram authorizing Senator
Cullom to pair him for the convention. It
Is not expected that either he or Senator
Clarke will return to Washington to vote
Senator Foster will rem-.n in Washington
and vote with his party.
Repobllcans Short of Vote.
The republicans had planned to recall
their absentees, but It was reported tonight
that even with the full republican strength
here the necessary two-thirds for ratifica
tion cou.a not be mustered, If there is no
defection of democratic votes. The depie
tlon of republican ranks by reason of the
vacancies In Missouri and Delaware, the
absence of Senator LaFollette, who has not
taken the oath of office, und of Senators
Aldrlch nnd Knox Is felt greatly by the re
publicans who ate striving for favorable
action on the treaty. A canvass of the
"enate has not developed trie necessary two
thirds nfflrmatlvc votes, even counting all
republicans as present or paired. If the
statement of the democrats that there
would be no division In their party proves
correct, or If the two Louisiana senators
and Clarke of Arkansas should vote against
It, there Is no chance for ratification of
the treaty.
Investigation is "ns;a;eate1.
Because of the doubt of ratification,
which was talked seriously today for the
first time, the suggestion was made that
action should be postponed until after an
investigation has been made of all the con
ditions in Santo Domingo, including the
character of the claims and the stability of
the Dominican government and the force
that would be required to keep It Intact.
This proposition cume from the democrats
and credit for originating It has been given
to Senator Gorman. It has not met with
favor, largely because of the indifference
as to the fate of the treaty which was ex
pressed by a number of republicans. So
far us tho propriety of the senate making
an Investigation Is concerned It was said
that such steps would be unprecedented
and that an inquiry, if one Is to be had.
should be made through the president. It
Is understood that the subject of appointing
a commission to make the inquiry has not
been presented to the president, and It
seems assured that there will be no post
ponement of the vote unless such action
meets the approval of the president, which
is not deemed likely.
Takes on a Partisan Bias.
The affirmative and negative on the
treaty took on a decided partisan bias
today. Senators Teller, Morgan and other
democrats opposed the treaty and criticised
tho administration severely. The first
speech today was made by Senator Teller,
who asserted that the administration could
not be blameless In permitting Commander
Dillingham to exercise so much authority.
Fault was found particularly with Com-
mnnder Dillingham for his position In tak
lng possession of the port of Monte Crlstl,
In the discussion there Were Injected many
pointed questions, in which practically all
of the democrats participated.
So harsh was the criticism of the admin
istration that Senator Spooner devoted
nearly half an hour to a general defense
of the course of the Department of State.
He disclaimed for the department respon
sibility for a great port of the procedure
of the naval officer. Senators Foraker and
Cullom followed along the same lines.
Senator Bacon started to address the sen
ate at 6 o'clock, but had proceeded only a
few minutes when he was seized with a
severe attack of gastritis and was unable
to go on. Senator Galllnger, who Is a phy
sician, prescribed for the senator, who was
himself In a few moments, but had his car
rlage called Immediately and went home.
The senate then adjourned. Under an or-,
der made yesterday It had been planned to
have the dally sessions begin at 11 a, m
In order to reach an agreement and ad
journ this week, but the hour of convening
today was changed back to 12 o'clock.
OUR LETTER BOX.
School Board Revenue.
OMAHA, March 14. To the Editor of
The Bee: In The Evening Bee of March
13 the following editorial was published:
"The annual report of City Treasurer
Itennlngs shows that the revenue collected
In for tho school board for the fiscal year
na-Rregated 8x53.44. Rl, none of which came
from the Sale of bonds. In other words,
the school board took In more than half
of the amount which all the other depart
ments of city government had at their
command. If there ever wns any excuse
for nn overlap In the school fund It surely
has been removed."
Assuming that the editor of a great
metropolitan newspaper like The Bee does
not desire to print statements which are
misleading, I respectfully ask you to print
In Its entirety this statement:
In the first place, the fiscal year you
refer to Is the calendar year of 1M, which
begins January 1 and ends Iecember 31.
not the tlsral year of the school bonrd
established by statute, which begins July
1 and ends June 30.
You full to state In your editorial that
of this abnormal sum collected by the
treasurer during the year 1904 I237.0i.i0 be
longs to the culrndar year of 19"3. Any
comparison of school board resources and
expenditures based upon the calendar year
1 which Is the city's fiscal yean) Is always
mlHleadlng, for tho reason that In some
jears the bulk of the saloon license money
Is paid In December and In other years It
Is paid In January. In the case In ques
tion the bulk of the saloon licenses for
two years was paid during the calendar
year 1904.
The Board of Education has never re
ceived during any fiscal year within 8200.000
of the amount stated in your editorial.
During the first eight months of the pres
ent fiscal year the Board of Education
has received only i.168, 873.97.
During the last two years out of the
amounts received from the treasurer the
Board of Education has expended for the
erection of new school houses about $67,000,
and will expend before the close of the
present flscnl year 110,000 or $12,000 more
fur tho same purpose.
The Board of Education has also In the
bond redemption fund, "according to the
last statement of the treasurer, 1266,548.97,
which lfl drawing Interest and which has
been placed there In accordance with law
to cancel the bonded Indebtedness due In
l'JOS and 1912. The bonrd has also materially
reduced Its floating Indebtedness.
Realizing the fact that misleading state
ments, regarding the Board of Education
finances, may be made on account of the
discrepancy between the city's fiscal year
nnd the Board of Education's fiscal year,
I remain, J. F. BURGESS,
Secretary Board of Education, School
District of Omaha.

Remarkable Cnratlve Properties ol
Remedy far Indisrrst ton and
Stomach Weakness.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a jropnra
tlon for the cure of dyspepsia and the va
rious forms of Indigestion nnd stomach
trouble, owes Its great success as a cura
for these troubles to the fact that It is
tirenared for illsen.o ntwt u-iilfnaa nf 4 h
stomach and digestive organs ONLY, and
Is not recommended or ndvtecd for an
other disease.
It Is not a cure-all, but for any stomach
trouble It Is undoubtedly the SAFEST,
most sensible remedy tlint can be advised
with the prospect of a permanent cure. It
Is prepared in tablet form, pleasant to
taste, com pi set of 'vegetable and fruit es
sences, pure pepsin nnd Gulden Seal, every
one of which net efTectlvwly in digesting
the food eaten, thereby resting and invig
orating the weak stomach; REST is na
ture's cure for any disease, but you cannot
rest the STOMACH unless you put into It
something that will do Its work or assist
In the digestion of food.
That Is exactly what Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets do; one grain of the digestive prin
ciple contained In them will digest 3,000
grains of meat, ejras or similar wbolesom
foods; they will digest the food Whether
the stomach Is In working order or not,
thereby nourishing the body and resting
the stomach at the same time, and REST
and NOURISHMENT la nature oura for
any weakness.
In persons run down In flesh and appe
tite these tablets build up the strength and
increase flesh, because they digest flesh
forming food which the weak stomach can
not do, they Increase the flow of gaatrto
Juice and prevent fermentation, auldlty
and sour watery risings.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
at all drug stores at SO cents per package.
