IT PAYS TO RIDE IN A SUBSTANTIAL BALLOON. i — --1 ARRESTFIVE MEN BECAUSE OF THE ASSAULT ON OUR VICE CONSUL. WHAT TURKISH OFFICERS CLAIM They Say No Attempt Was Made to Assassinate.—Assert that Shots Were In Celebration of a Marriage Ceremony. CONSTANTINOPLE —The porte has notified Minister Lelshman that five arrests have been made at Bey root in connection with the shooting which led to the report that William C. Magelssen, the vice consul there, had been assassinated. The Turkish officials continue to in sist that no attempt was made on the vice consul's life and they re-assert that the whole story originated In a feu-de-joie fired on the occasion of a marriage In accordance with customs. Mr. Lelshman, however, refuses to accept an exulanation without con clusive proof that the judicial investi gation continues. The attempt to burn the American college at Harpoot occurred five weeks ago and apparently was the work of an individual who considered he had a grievance against the college au thorities. When Mr. Lelshman was informed of the attempt he demanded that the porte protect the American institution and in consequence In structions were sent to the authorities at Harpoot to try in the regular courts the charges against fifty Armenians, accused of trafficking in arms and en gaging in other seditious acts. WASHINGTON.—Cheklb Bey, the Turkish minister, has received from ‘.he minister of foreign affairs at Con stantinople a dispatch giving the Turkish version of the reported at tempt on the life of United States Vice Consul Magelssen at Bey root.

After declaring that the report of the assassination of Mr. Magelssen was absolutely false, the dispatch gives a version of the affair practical ly the same as has been told in the dispatches from Turkey. It says that, the pistol was fired by a man return ing from a marriage fete, that the shot was fired in the ulr and that it hap pended just as Mr. Magelssen was passing in his carriage. This, the dis patch says, led the vice consul to be lieve that an attempt had been made against his life. The man who did the shooting already has been deliv ered to the judicial authorities. Che bik Bey’s dispatch also asserts that order and tranquility prevail at Bey root. rrn_I_ «_1 _ * V. cablegram has been furnished to United States Minister Ueishman at Constantinople by the Turkish minis ter of foreign affairs and to Secretary Hay by the Turkish minister here.

The condition of the corn crop af fords no tale of woe to unfold from this locality, says a Stanton dispatch, ’’immense” is the word that fittingly describes it. True, there are occa sional fields or patches belated to such a degree that a matured crop is im probable, but these are not common. In the main the crop was never more promising on September 1.

LINCOLN.—As a result of the State Normal board locating the new nor mal school at Kearney there are some tender spots left on the citizens ol some of the other towns that were in the contest. Even Treasurer Morten sen feels keenly disappointed. The treasurer had all the confidence in the world that Ord would be the place, and he nursed the thought until he saw the school building looming up in his town. If Ord couldn’t get it, then the treasurer, it is said, wanted it to go to Broken Bow. He waited just a little too long, and Mr. Rogers flopped from Broken Bow to Kearney. On several occasions Mr. Rogers had changed his vote to locate the school, until finally he was successful. It was reported here that an in junction would be asked for by one or more of the competing towns to pre vent Kearney from getting the school without a fight through the courts. The request is to be based on the fact that Kearney offered twenty acres of land which is not in one tract, when the law requires that the land be one tract of not less than twenty ! acres; that Kearney was allowed to modify its bids after all were opened; and if these are not sufficient to get the injunction, then the constitution' ality of the law giving the board the power to locate the school will be at' . tacked.

The general belief that the piano was not only an instrument of per cussion but of torture finds conflrma ion in the researches made recently >y a Berlin nerve specialist. He as serts that out of 1,000 girls who be ;an to play the piano before they were 14 no less than 600 were affected )y some kind of nervous disease, while out of 1,000 girls who had not >een put at playing scales only 100 were so affected. His recommenda :ion is that girls should not begin to vork on the piano until they are 16.
