BARTLEY GETS TWENTY YEARS.
Sine of Double the Amount of aioney Em
bezzled Is Imposed Tf ill Appeal.
Omaha, June 27. "It is the sentence
hi this court that you be confined in the
penitentiary of this state at hard labor
for a period of 20 years and pay a fine
of S303.76S.GD."
This was the sentence pronounced
upon Joseph S. Bartley, the -ex-state
treasurer, convicted of embezzlement,
by Judge Baker of the criminal branch
of the district court, before whom Bart
ley was tried. It closed the record in
the most noted criminal trial on the
dockets of Douglas county.
The session of court at which this re
sult was reached was marked, like all
the other proceedings in this case, by
legal Ekirnushing invoking all the tech
nicalities known to the law for the de
lay of the progress of justice.
The entire morning was taken up by
defense in making a record, motion af
ter motion being made, some verbal and
others written, and even after sentence
had been pronounced a motion to va
cate a part of the sentence was filed.
These motions were all overruled, and
after these tedious legal formalities had
all been disposed of sentence was im
posed upon the defendant.
1 The bill of exceptions for an appeal
to the supreme court is about completed
and will be ready for filing soon. Ac
cording to tho plan adopted by the de
fense, no time will be lost in filing
these papers with the clerk of the su
preme court and application will be
made to one of the judges of :the supreme
court to grant an order staying the sen
tence and admitting Bartley to
bail. As the supreme court has
adjourned for the summer, this applica
tion will have to be made to one of the
judges of the court. The defense is very
confident that bail will be allowed and
that Bartley will be liberated within a
few days.
Attorney General Smyth will at once
file with the clerk of the supreme court
objections to admitting the defendant
to bail.
BAN K ROBBERS CAUG HT.
Black mils Bandits Get In Their Work at
Belle Fourchc.
Belle Four cue, S. D., June 30.
Five masked men made a desperate at
tempt to rob the Butte County bank at
this place. Entering the bank with re
volvers drawn they ordered the custo
mers present and bank officials to hold
up their hands. A little hesitancy on
the part of Cashier Marblo, who
slammed shut and locked the doors of
the vault, drew a shot from one of the
robbers, which clipped off a larpre por
tion of his ear and enforced compliance
with the demand.
The counters were relieved of the cash
they contained and tho robbers, mount
ing their horses, rode away. One rob
ber, Tom Day, failed to mount. His
horse shied and followed the others, and
Day was captured. The robbers when
leaving town began shooting at every
thing. Walter Gay, who was in his
store at the time, wa3 shot through the
cheek. The robbers were under fire al
most from the moment of leaving the
bank. All the people in the town that
had a gun took after them, and every
horse in the town was put into service
and a chase commenced.
The posse in pursuit of the bank rob
bers succeeded in surrounding them last
night on the Three Y ranch, 15 miles
west from Belle Fourche, and after ex
changing many shots the bandits sur
rendered. The wires are down and
narticulars unobtainable.
STRANGE TEST OF FAITH.
A Keltslous Enthusiast Claims to Be 1'roof
Against Snakc3 Venom.
Silas Sncrss rcceutlv introduced sev
eral uuuscai features into his work at
Golenda, Ills., as an itinerant preacher
and crossroads evangelist. Snakes of the
mast poisonous sort are his specialties,
and his sermons are rather demonstra
tions of the truth of the Scriptural say
ing that neither poisonous reptile nor
venomous thing shall do hurt to tho
Lord's nuoiDted.
Mr. Sugar has 20 of the most venom
ous serpents found in this section, such
as copperheads, cotton mouth, rattle
snakes and water moccasins, taken wild
by himself, and he fondles them as one
would tame doves, In order to prove
his religions faith he has time and
again, in thf view of hundreds of people
on the public square of the town, al
lowed them to inflict wounds upon his
hands and arms at an apparent risk of
death that was so appalling a3 to causp
women to faint and strong men to
shudder. Mr. Suggs, however, only
gently, and as if in benediction, waves
his bleeding bauds over his congrega
tion and goes on with his sermon.
Chickens, dogs and cats have been
bitten by the panic snakes and within
the same hour that Mr. Suggs let them
bite him, air! neither chicken, dog nor
cat survived for 3Q minutes, whilo he
seems unharmed in fact, ho seems to
rather enjoy the hideous sensation.
He says he is in a state of grace, that
he is truly sanctified, and that not even
fiery dragons dripping green venom
from their brazen fangs could harm
him. Cor. Chicago Times-Herald.

JAPS WANT HAWAII
WHAT WALTER WELLMAN HAS
SAY ABOUT THE SITUATION.
TO
:fer Colonial Policy Adverted To The
Annexation of Hawaii the Forerunner
of the Acquisition of Cuba and the Con
struction of the TCIcaragua Canal.
Spain has fox some time been trying
to induce Japan to make a bold stand
against Hawaii.
The Madrid government appeared to
be at the end of its Etring in the Eearch
for support, when the disturbance be
tween Japan and thelittle island xepub
lic of Hawaii came to the surface. In
formation of a trustworthy character
has reached the state depatment that i
the Spanish minister in Japan has en- j
couraged the Japanese in making a i
bold stand against Hawaii, holding out
as an inducement that the United States
was not feared, as the chances were
that Spain would give the United States
enough trouble on the Atlantic to keep
Uncle Sam's finger out of the Hawaiian
pie.
It is not believed in Washington that
Japan has any Eerions intention to an
nex Hawaii. Considering that it is well
known to be the traditional policy of
this government to permit no transfer
of Hawaii to any other power, it is in
conceivahle that the Japanese amhition
could ran so far as to come into colli
sion with the United States, hat there
is no certainty on this score.
As long as Japan had to deal with
Hawaii alone and Hawaii as an inde
pendent government was responsible to
other nations for its conduct and its
treaty compacts, a situation might easi
ly be hnilt op in which Japan would
bo nominally justified in making war
upon tho Pacific republic Threats of
this nature have already been made by
the Japanese minister at Honolnln.
If Japan wero to make war upon Ha
waii, of course the result conld be easily
foretold. Hawaii would be at the mer
cy of tho Japs. As the victor Japan
might demand cession of the islands or
a part of them, and England or Russia
might then take a hand and give diplo
matic support to the justice of her con
tention. The Hawaiian minister here has sup
plied the state department with some
important information concerning the
policy of Japan. Tho Japanese aro ex
ceedingly aggressive, almost impera
tive. They have virtually held over
Hawaii the menace of war if their de
mands ho not complied with. That the
present situation is one of danger to the
future of Hawaii and of possible danger
to the peacofnl relations existing be
tween the United States and Japan has
been recognized at the state depart- i
rnent.
Before these affaira reached their pres- !
ent critical state President McKinley j
had decided upon the annexation of Ha- j
waii as a part of his administrative .
policy, but had thought to defer action i
till next winter. Spain's machinations '
with Japan may not have had any im- j
portant influence upon the course which
the Asiatic nation has pursued toward
Hawaii, bet under the circumstances it
was thought to be the part of prudence
for the United Siates to give notice to the
world as soon as possible that Hawaii ;
is soon to become a part of tho United
States, and that therefore any aggres- '
sive policy toward the little republic i3
really an aggression, in the end, upon
the United States.
Another reason for hastening the
promulgation of the treaty was the con- j
dition of the tariff bilL The Hawaiian
treaty with the United States was in I
serious danger of virtual abrogation by j
the pending tariff bill, or at least the
vital part of it, that relating to free en-
try of Hawaiian sugar. The Republican j
senators wero unable to agree upon a
programme concerning tbis part of the j
tariff bill, and it was felt that if the
administration proposed to go ahead j
with annexation next winter the whole
problem might be solved by making
that fact public at this time.
These two considerations have led the
president to his present determination.
It is not expected anything will be done
with the treaty at this session of con
gress, but the principal points will have
been gained. These are notice to the
world that in a short time Hawaii will
become a part of the United States and
removal of the Hawaiian sugar duty
ohstacle to quick action upon the tariff.
Now that the traditional policy of
tho United States never to seek terri
tory heyoud the sea is about to be bro
ken down by the force of circumstances
it will not be a long step to similar ac
tion in reference to Cuba. Hawaii is
2,000 miles from the United Statest Cu
ba 90 miles.
Already men near to the administra
tion talk of Hawaii as but the forerun
ner of Cuba, and Cuba as a pilot to oth
er territorial pcquisition in Central
America.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that a recent visitor to "Washing
ton from Nicaragua says that most of
the property owners and men of affairs 1
in that country aro praying for annexa
tion to the United States, Their govern
ment is a worse despotism than that of
the czar of Russia ever was. Human
liberty and the rights of property are
not respected by President Zelaya. Rev
olutions are of frequent occurrence.
The best men in the country say there
is no hope or future for them except
annexation to tho United States.
A near friend to President McKinley
makes the prediction that during the
present administration Hawaii and Cu
ba will come under our flag and that
the Nicaragua canal will he put under
construction. "Whether or not all these
predictions be realized, it is obvious to
every man who dees not deliberately
close his eyea to what is going on abonfe
him that the country is upon the eve of
a new and vastly important national
policy looking to oversea extension of
territory, trade and political influence.

A MOOSE TOWS A BOAT.
ft "Was Amusing, but the Passengers Got
Tired or It.
Up on Sebec lake in Maine they hav
i moose which can do a towing busi
ness. Recently, while the steamer Mar
ion was passing up through the nar
rows in Sebec lake, a big bull moose
was sighted swimming toward the craft
to cross her bow. He had a bone in his
teeth and was leaving a wake like the
cruiser Columbia -hs time she came up
Penobscot bay into Castinc harbor last
summer, says the Bangor Commercial.
Captain Hersey saw the bull in good
time, and he got out his biggest hawser
and put on a little more steam just to
bring his boat alongside the moose.
When he got into comfortable distance,
he let go the hawser like a lasso, and
the rope settled over tho head of the
big fellow and caught him fast
The Marion is a sturdy littlo crrf t,
but she wasn't built for mocse. The
bull swam straight on for awhile, tow
ing the boat after him and "playing
boss" generally with everything within
reach. Just in the height of the fun he
gave a sudden turn to starboard, put
Etraigbt about, and with full speed on
in hoth engines let himself out for
shore, the steamer dragging along be
hind. All the passengers offered free
advice as to how to get the moose out
into the lake again, but meanwhile the
rocks of the shore were getting nearer.
Finally Captain Hersey cast oE his line
and let the moose get ashore, up which
he fled and disappeared in the forest
with the speed of the Boston and Alba-
nv fastest express. It takes more than a
steamboat to stop tho progress of :
healthy Maine moose. Springfield Re

A FREAKISH OLD WELL.
Faithful Tor Twcntr-Orc Tears, It 2Cow
Gives Salt Water.
One of the strange caprices of nature
is illustrated in a well on the premises
of Thomas B. Craft of Belle Plaiuc, la.
The well ha3 been on the family home
stead and supplying the family with
water for the past 25 years. The supply
of water never diminished, even in the
driest periods of the year, and has sup
plied neighboring families with water
when surrounding wells gave cut.
Recently the water in the old well
commenced to taste salty. It was
pumped dry and thoroughly cleaned
out. Tho water bocamo worse, and tho
well was cleaned out again. This time
the water became literally a salty brine
and so thick that when placed in a ves
sel a clear, whito salt would settle in
the bottom.
No explanation is advanced for the
remarkable phenomenon. Nouc cf tL"
wells in the neighborhood gives any evi
dence of salt, and, as there am no sa
line lands in the community, the chang
ing of this old homestead well into snlt
water has nonplused tho people. Chi

Sous of the Seasons.
In the summer, -when tho gentlo southern
breezes blandly hlavr
And the trees ncd joyous welcome with a
bending to and fro,
fhen the budding things of lifo leap forth to
greet the summer's sun
And in splendid suit of razzlo dazzlo green the

Then tc feel a budding pleasure surging up
within tho soul
As vre view the sad demeanor of the t"n who
sold us coaL
In
the winter when tho blizzards from
the
northward fiercely blow
And the mercury finds zero and then scuds an
inch below,
When Jack Frost is glinting gayly, nipping
noses, nipping ears,
And no longer we find pleasure in encircling
our beers,
Still there U a full grown glory in our souLj
beyond a prico
As we view the joyless countenance of him
who sold us ice.
Yet there comes a end depression every season
of the year
And the same is not to be subdued with mighty
mugs of leer.
Neither can tho joys of winter, nor of autumn,
nor of spring
All combined o'ercast the damper of that soul
depressing sting
That we feel whene'er we hear the soun,d of
happy, gurgling croons
That ever surge from ant the face of him who
sells us prunes.
