Fred Weis, a general merchandise dealer, was arraigned in the district court at Fremont and pleaded guilty to selling cigarettes to a minor. He was fined $25 and costs. Mrs. Ruth Olds was complaining witness. This case went up from the lower court. The remains of the wrecked car which was blown up by the train rob bers near Wilcox, Wyo., was brought to North Platte and side tracked in the yard. It Is a most complete wreck, the entire structure being shattered into millions of pieces. A large hols In the safe shows the object of the robbers’ intentions. The Knox County Fair association has been doing some excellent work on tae race track at the fair grounds here during the laBt three weeks, which will put it In first-class shape. The association is making a special effort to make the fair this season one of the best in its history. Good premiums will be offered in all departments.

The Methodist church society of Fre mont is going to make extensive re pairs on its church building this sum mer. Plans have been approved for tne building of an addition twenty three feet in width on the north end of the church and the interior reho vated and new pews placed in the main audience room. The entire expense is estimated at $6,000, nearly all of which has been subscribed. For some time Landlord May of the Perkins hotel, David City, has been missing a small sum of money every day from his cash drawer, and quite recently several traveling men have notified him that samples were missing from their trunks. Last week Chief of Police I. J. West arrested Clyde Scott, night clerk at the hotel, and when hlB room was searched quite a large amount of goods was found in hla trunk. He is in jail. Miss Viola Horlocker of Hastings, who is under a $5,000 bond on the charge of having attempted the life of Mrs. C. F. Morey by sending her a box of poisoned candy on Monday, April 10, is in New York city with her -sis ters, Miss Zora and Mrs. Lou Nance Phillips, where she has gone to recu perate. A report is current to the effect that Miss Horlocker’B mind 1b becoming unbalanced and that she was taken to New York to be placed in a private insane asylum. The city council of Tekamah at a late meeting refused to call an election for the purpose of voting the $10,000 railroad bonds. The proposition failed of the necessary two-thirds vote by one. The bonds were surrounded by all necessary safeguards that the city would become a Btation on the pro posed Sioux City & Omaha and many of the citizens condemn the action of the council as the road if it continues on the proposed line will pass about three miles east of that city. Coroner J. T. Sampson and Deputy Sheriff Fred Ebener returned to Chad ron from the western part of Dawes county where they had been called to hold an inquest over 'William A. Thornton, a well known farmer, who committed suicide by cutting his throat. Thornton has been conducting himself in a peculiar manner for sev eral months past and has been under the constant watch of members of his family. At this time, however, he eluded their care by escaping from his room early in the morning hours and inflicting a death wound with a butch er knife. It is believed that his mind was unbalanced by religious subjects, in which he took a deep interest. Sixteen head of cattle belonging t« A. Sutton were stolen from the Van Horn pasture in Sherman county and were driven twenty-four miles to Boe lus and offered for sale at $3.50 per hundred. Before the deal was closed a former herd boy recognized the cattla and telegraphed to Mr. Sutton at Loup City. The delay in the final consum mation of the deal alarmed the two rustlers and they rode out of town, leaving the cattle. One of them sold his pony at Rockville and rode out west of town with Sam Fletcher, at whose house he put up for the night. Sheriff Patton arrested him before morning and brought him to Loup City and immediately started after the other, capturing him about twenty-five miles northeast of where the first was captured. At the close of the papers, recess was taken for a few minutes before going into business session, to allow visitors to depart, after which the meeting was again called to order. There are few towns in Nebraska that can more fully sympathize with persons who have lost their homes in a tornado than can the people of Brad shaw. A subscription paper was start ed and over $108 was raised In cash, and a large wagon load of clothing and provisions was sent in charge of a committee to the persons who lost u»«sir all in the storm that swept the country northeast of the town of Mar quette in Hamilton county. Honorable Eecord of a Gallant lather at Fullerton, Nebraska. QUARTETTE OF BRAVE SOLDIERS. On* Dial on tha Field of Ilattle end An other la Recommended for a Commla aloe In the Regular Army.—A C'onao letory Letter From Secretary Melkefc John. Washington special to the Omaha Bee: The history of the Spanish American war, when made up by future historians, will contain many deeds of heroism, often unequaled and sel dom excelled. Many valiant acts, now almost unheeded in the rush of stirring events, will In calmer hours be told with the wing of romance now un dreampt of. Great, however, as has been the courage of the soldiers in camp and Held, all need of praise is not due to them alone. To the families of these brave men, serving their country In Its hour of meed, must also be ac corded full measure of commendation for the superb self-contained fortitude with which they have borne the losses of their loved ones, as well aB the minor deprivations of their society and services. Among the homes where the spirit of patriotism found a rich harvest was that of Peter Storch, an honored citi zen of Fullerton, Neb. When the call for volunteers came four sons of Peter Storch went forward and enlisted in Company B, First Nebraska volunteer, infantry. One of these four brothers, Joseph A. Storch, was commissioned a second lieutenant In Company B and subsequently promoted to first lieuten ant in Company C of that regiment. Another son, Arthur, was mustered in as second sergeant; the third, Oscar, served in the band, while the fourth, James F. Storch, became a quarter master sergeant. The history of the First Nebraska volunteers is too well known to the People of Nebraska to need extended comment upon Its gallantry and dearly purchased triumphs. The glorious record of this regiment from the mo ment of its entrance upon the field of active military operations in the Phil ippines to the day of its relief from further duty and return to Manila is but typical of the individual records of Its members. When the regiment departed from San Francisco about a year ago, a practically raw and undisciplined body of men, few could have predicted the deeds of daring which it has accom plished. Where all have displayed such gallantry individual instances of conspicuous heroism are as difficult to be performed as they are to be noted. Bach and every man therefore may be regarded, if not a hero, at least a brave and courageous soldier in the fullest sense. No testimony need therefore be of fered that the Storch volunteers have faithfully served their government to the full measure of their duty. That they have been tried in the fiery ordeal and not found wanting is shown by the fact that one of them has already sacrificed his life for his country. At Quingua, on April 23, 1899, a date which will long be remembered with Badness as the occasion upon which the First Nebraska voluntee-s lost their gallant commanding officer, Colo nel John M. Stotsenberg, another brave man was killed. Quartermaster Ser geant Storch, in the heat of the con flict and disregarding the personal safety assured him by his office, was bravely found among his comrades grimly facing Insurgent bullets. His gallantry added another name to the roll of our country’s cherished dead. Upon receipt at the war department of the sad news Assistant Secretary of War Meikeljolin briefly notified Mr. Storch, by wire, of his bereavement and extended to him and his family deepest sympathy and condolence in their sad affliction. The assistant sec retary also, upon the same date, ad dressed the following letter of condo lence to Mr. Storch: MY Dear Sir: The sad Intelligence that your Bon, Quartermaster Sergeant J. F. Storch. has been killed in battle was received by me with deep sorrow and regret, both personal and official. I knew him as a young man of high character, marked r.bility and great promise. That he should have met the doom of mankind at the very portals Oi manhood occasions grief to all who knew him. But that he met death in the line of duty, was killed in battle under the flag we all love, fighting for his country and participating in a gal lant charge which drove the enemy from strong entrenchments, will mol lify, though it will not assuage, the grief you now endure. His life was commendable, his future full of prom ise, but his death was glorious. He has secured the highest honor a soldier can attain, and his name will be in scribed in the book of iame, whose pages will ever be read through tears. To your boy’s mother my heart goes out in sympathy. Neither glory, honor, nor fame can take the place of such a son with her. I can but hope that God will give her strength to say, as did the ancient Hebrew mother, Buffer ing under a similar affliction, “It is well with the child.’’ To you and your entire family I extend my deepest sympathy. I wish It were in my power to do more. Yours most sincerely, G. D. MEIKLEJOHN. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, feel ing that the gallant showing made by the Storch brothers should be recog nized, if possible, by the government, within the last few days recommended to the president that Lieutenant Jo seph A. Storch be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the regular army The record of this fighting family and its sacrifices was brought by the as sistant secretary to the personal atten tion of the president, who showed his thorough appreciation of their loyalty and patriotism by acceding to the recommendations of Mr. Meiklejohn and directing that his appointment be made. Accordingly, advices were promptly cabled to General Otis of tho appointment of Lieutenant Storch to the regular army and directing his Immediate examination for a commis sion. Fred Barclay of Gordon has added a carload of thoroughbred short-horn bulls to his herd. WAR TROPHY FOR NEBRASKA. The Governor to A»k for a Cannon from Manila. Governor Poynter has directed Ad jutant General Barry to apply to the war department for one of the Span ish cannon captured at Manila. The state of Nebraska is entitled to two guns. The allotment Is supposed to come from Santiago and one gun from that place has already been credited to Nebraska. Congressman Dave Mercer has secured a gun for Omaha and this is the one supposed to have been cred ited to the state. The war department has informed the governor that one gun is still due the state and gives the choice of guns taken from Manila or from Santiago. General Barry will apply for one taken at Manila because Nebraska troops have made such a good record there that the people of the state naturally take more interest in the Philippines than in the Santia go campaign. Postmaster H. M. Bush nell of this city was recently in Wash ington and practically secured one gun for the university campus, but noth ing has been heard about the matter since Mh. Bushnell returned. The let ter received by the governor is as fol lows; War Department, Office of the Sec retary, Washington, June 5, 1899.— Dear Sir: The secretary of war directs me to say that it has been decided to loan to the several states certain of the condemned and obsolete ordnance captured in and about Santiago in the war with Spain, and in this allotment two guns will be assigned to your state to be loaned to such soldiers’ monuments associations, posts of the Grand Army of,the Republic, or muni cipal corporations as you may desig nate. There is no provision of law by which the government can bear any part of the expense in connection with any such loan. The state or the monu ment associations, posts of the Grand Army of the Republic, or the munici pal corporations must bear all the ex pense In connection with the transpor tation of the guns from where they are now located. The guns Will be for wtTded in most cases from the Wa ter vile t arsenal, near Troy, N. Y., or from the New York arsenal, at Gov ernor’s island, N. Y. There are no mounts or carriages, simply the bare guns. If it is your wish that your state re ceive the guns allotted, will you kind ly designate the names of the mon ument associations, G. A. R. posts or municipalities which you desire to re ceive them. As a matter of Information to you, the following cities or towns in your Btate have made application for Span ish guns as trophies: Lincoln, Have lock, and the Nebraska and Kansas interstate associations. In this connection I am informed by the navy department that your state has already received from the navy one of the captured Spanish guns. I enclose you herewith copy of the law under which this distribution is made. Should it be your wish in stead of receiving one of the Santiago guns to receive one taken in the Phil ippines, it is possible that in the fu ture some of the guns captured there may be brought to the United States. If so, the secretary of war directs me to state that any request received from you for one of those guns will receive very careful consideration, as he has no doubt that as the troops of your state served so gallantly in the Philippines they would prefer as a tro phy one of the guns taken there. By direction of the secretary of war, will you kindly address your reply to me. Very respectfully, GEORGE H. HOPKINS, Major and A. A. G. Reception to Soldiers. Lincoln dispatch: A well organized movement has been started by a num ber of prominent citizens of Lincoln to tender the members of the First regiment a rousing reception in this city soon after their return from Ma nila. The intention of those who have undertaken to carry out the plan is to bring to this city, if possible, all members of the three regiments of Nebraska volunteers who are in the state at the time. Oolonel Vifquain and other officers of the Second and Third regiments have signified their willingness to co-operate with the citi zens who have perfected an organiza tion and will at once proceed to ar range for the reception. An executive committee has been appointed to for mulate plans for the occasion and to see that they are carried out. It is the opinion of those who originated the movement that it will be possible to bring together such a large number of veterans of the different wars as to make the occasion without doubt one of the greatest in the history of the state and it is anticipated that nearly 20,000 men may be brought into line for the event. All patriotic orders in the state will be asked to co-operate. The name of the organization having charge of the reception is one sug gested by ex-Mayor Weir: “Ne braska’s Reception to the First Regi ment.” On account of the uncertainty as to when the First regiment will sail from Manila no date has been fixed for the demonstration. It is believed that the regiment will embark within the next two weeks and the committee has made allowance for a stay of about a month in San Francisco while the men are being mustered out. As all the soldiers will doubtless desire to first visit their friends and relatives the reception will probably be held some time in August. Colonel Vifquain has addressed letters to the captains of the different com panies of the Third regiment to notify their men of the reception and en deavor to have as many as possible attend. The state military authorities have already taken steps toward giving the soldiers from Manila a reception on their return, but they have con sented to co-operate with the citizens. Nebraska Boys Promoted. Lieutenant P. James Cosgrave of Lincoln, says the Lincoln Journal, first lieutenant of Company D. First Ne braska volunteers, has been promoted to captain. He was given command yesterday of Company I, the Bennet company. This promotion and two minor ones were cabled yesterday to Manila by Governor Poynter. Captain Cosgrave was first sergeant of Com pany F, t*^e Lincoln light infantry, Crowds Assemble at Every Station Through Which Train Passes. HEARTY WELCOME TO HOLYOKE. Fartj Driven Directly to Home of Ei Congressman Whiting, Where the Members Will Have Best and Quiet— The Executive in Excellent Health. HOLYOKE, Mass., June 19.—The president’s special train arrived at 10 o’clock. At Springfield ’ Miss Grace McKinley and Colonel Roger Morgan of this city boarded the train, Colonel Morgan conveying the welcome of Gov ernor Wolcott to the distinguished vis itors. In honor of the presence of Presi dent McKinley this city is in gala dress today. Mr. Whiting will be the president’s host. At Westfield the train was boarded by a committee of Holyoke citizens, headed by ex-Con gressman William Whiting, who greet ed the president warmly and was intro duced to the other members of the party. Holyoke was reached at 10 o’clock. As the president, who was the first to alight, appeared at the door of the last car a mighty cheer arose from the thousands congregated there. He bowed his acknowledgements to the round after round of cheers. The party alighted in an open space which was roped off and guarded by policemen. They were greeted and wel comed by a committee from the city and were taken direct to the waiting carriages and the drive to the home of Mr. Whiting began. In the first car riage with President McKinley were Mr. Whiting and William Skinner and the second carriage contained Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen, Acting Private Secretary Cortelyou and Mayor Chapin. Mrs. McKinley and Mrs. Allen were driven directly to the home of Mr. Whiting, other women of the party going to the Hamilton hotel. Mr. Whiting’s personal guests during the day will be President and Mrs. Mc Kinley, Secretary and Mrs. Allen. Dr. Rixey and Private Secretary Cortelyou. The line of carriages was greeted with cheers and waving of flags and handkerchiefs from the crowds which lined both sides of the streets through •which they went. At the Whiting residence the guests were welcomed by the hostess and the members of the Whiting family. Several of the more prominent local gentlemen called to pay their respects. There were many offerings of flowering plants and magnificent bouquets from the female admirers of Mrs. McKinley. ASSESSMENT SYSTEM WRONG. Senatorial Committee Hears Complaints at Chicago. CHICAGO, June 19.—At the close of today’s session of the senatorial in vestigating committee, Senator Bax ted stated that the senators had con cluded to continue the investigation another week. The Chicago assessment system was under consideration all day, and al though a great deal of evidence was ' heard nothing developed with the ex ception of a revival of the long stand ing controversy between Robert C. Givins, president of the taxpayers’ as sociation, and the city officials regard ing the cost of cement and paving ma terial generally. Mr. Givins’ chief complaint was that city officials were evidently in collu sion with “promoters," who, he inti mated, were working in the Interest of cement companies and contractors. “Property has been assessed in this town at from 60 to 75 per cent of its actual cash value,” declared Mr. Giv ins. “These special assessments have placed real estate on such a basis in some parts of the city that you can not give it away, and have damaged Chicago property to the extent of $100,000,000, within the last six months. Total Deaths at Richmond. NEW RICHMOND, Wis., June 19.— Today, five days after the New Rich mond tornado, it is possible to give a summary of the deaths and destruction with fair accuracy. The official list of known dead contains 102 names; five unidentified bodies have been bur ied, besides some parts of bodies. A conservative estimate of the bodies still in the ruins of people not report ed missing would be fifteen. This brings the loss of life to about 125. The best estimate on the loss of property in the city of New Richmond compiled from a list of individual property owners who lost everything, reaches a total of $550,000. To thl* may be added about $200,000 for house hold goods and other property destroy ed in this immediate vicinity, not in cluded in the buildings totally demol ished. The relief fund is growing rapidly, having reached $35,000 today. Delivery of Armor Plate. WASHINGTON, June 19.—Repre sentatives of the Carnegie and Bethle hem armor concerns were at the navy department today to make final ar rangements for the delivery of the 2,271 tons of side armor for the Ala bama, Illinois and Wisconsin, recently ordered by Secretary Long. The tests will be considerably greater than those heretofore made and will be designed :o give a higher grade of armor than ;hat furnished up to this time. The Canal Commission. WASHINGTON, June 19.—The Nica ragua canal commission held another meeting today and then adjourned to meet in this city on the 6th of July. Adbiral Walker, the chairman, was authorized to appoint committees to consider the various general lines of investigation heretofore agreed upon. The appointments will be made in a day or two. Each committee is expected to be ready to report to the full com mittee when it again meets a tentative and preliminary plan for the prosecu tion of the commission’s work. This will be passed upon by the full body COMBINES ARE A MENACE. The Industrial Commission Gets Testi mony on Trusts. WASHINGTON, June 19.—During the afternoon, the industrial commit tee heard a statement from P. E. Dowe of New York, president ot the com mercial travelers’ league. Mr. Dowe said the opinion of the commercial men at large was that the trusts were a menace to the community. He esti mated the number of traveling sales men in the United States at 359,000, saying that the census figures of 60,000 were grossly incorrect. The formation of trusts and combinations was throw ing a large number of these men out of employment. Mr. Dowe said that the trust combination had raised the prices of the commodities they were con trolling from 5 to 100 per cent in al most every instance, except coffee and sugar. In these they were still fight ing for control of the field. He said his figures in this line were absolutely correct, being from reliable commer citl acquaintances. The examples he gave were: Iron pipe, over 100 per cent;, tinware and enameled ware, about 33 per cent; brass goods, 60 per cent; chair trust, just formed, will ad vance prices 30 per cent; rubber over shoes (United States Rubber company) advanced prices 14 per cent on May 1; American Tin Plate company advanc ed prices something like 30 per cent; newspaper quarter to half a cent a pound, a further advance in prospect; book papers 5 and 10 per cent; an ad vance is expected in writig paper; in common soap 25 cents to 50 cents a box; flint glass bottles will be ad vanced 10 per cent or more; jobbers and manufacturers of clocks have ad vanced the wholesale prices on account of the advance of metals 60 per cent; all metal goods have been advanced; brass pins 25 per cent; pipes and bushes 12% per cent; combs, 7% per cent; ribbons, 10 per cent; school fur niture has gone up as well as paper baks and wrapping paper. “The umbrella trust failed four years ago,’ ’said the witness, but it advanc ed prices while in existence and after its break up the return to legitimate and healthy prices caused a loss to the retailer through the stock on hand.” This witness concluded by saying that before leaving New York he had been warned by an acquaintance, a lawyer, indirectly connected with some of the trusts, that he was doing a dangerous thing in speaking before the commission, as he was liable to “be crushed like a caterpillar.” The commission will hear tomorrow M. L. Lockwood of Pennsylvania, the last of the trust witnesses, and next week will take up the investigation or agricultural interests. BROKERS MIST PAY THE TAX. Transactions In Bucket Shops Maft Con tribute Their Part. WASHINGTON, June 19.—Commis sioner Wilson of the internal revenue bureau has rendered a decision which has been pending for a long time re garding the liability of bucket shop transactions, to the stamp act. The decision says: By a bucket shop is meant a place other than a board of trade or ex change where the parties who agree to buy and sell stocks do not ordinar ily contemplate the receiving or de livering of the certificates therefore by tne buyer or seller either at the time or in the future. Such transactions in stocks are taxable. , In the case of every agreement to sell at a bucket shop there is both a presumptive buyer and a presump tive seller and this is true whether the customer agrees to sell the stock to the manager of the place or the man ager of the place agrees to sell stock to the customer. Where agreement of sale has been made and no delivery of stock takes place and the party holding the agree ment of sale wishes to ctose the trans action by disposing of his interest in said agreement, and settles with the holder of the contract by paying the deficiency price, in contemplation of law there is an agreement to resell the shares to the original seller. All these transactions must be evidenced by a written memorandum. It makes no difference whether these agreements to sell stocks made at bucket shops are called “selling privi leges” or “purchase privileges” or whether they are called by any other name, such contracts are taxable the same as stock transactions on the stock exchange. Regarding the sale of grain and oth er products of merchandise at bucket shops, the commissioner, in view of the recent decision of the United States supreme court in regard to the sales of merchandise at a board of trade, exchange or any similar place, revokes the precious decision that a bucket shop as ordinarily conducted is a similar place to a board of trade or exchange. It is understood that in the case of a bucket shop there is commonly only one manager or firm who control all the sales and purchas es made at that particular place, and where this is the case uo tax accrues on the sale of grain or other merchan dise made thereat, except where a bro ker’s contract or memorandum of sale is issued, when it must be stamped with a 10-cent stamp.
