who disappeared from his home tws
weeks ago at North Lincoln, leaving
his team standing In the field which he

he have any recollection of what he had
done or where he had been during the

bered anything since he was at home
was when two men waked him after
a long sleep. When taken to the sta

wife, who called there for him. After
a short rest Bender said he was pre
paring to cut cane In the field near his
home and broke the machine. The

the house and that was the last he re- i
membered. Some time ago Bender

DIDN'T ADVERTISE BEER.
Denial of a Hitchcock Report Which
Aroused the W. C. T. U.
Washington, Oct. 7.—Officials of the in
terior department today read with inter
est and more or less amusement the reso
lutions adopted by the W. C. T. U. of
Oklahoma, critislng Secretary Hitchcock
for traveling on Adolphus Busch's private
car through Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory, and “for distributing beer at Ho
bart, saying it was the finest ever
brewed." His secretary, Scott Smith,
who accompanied the secretary, said:
"The W. C. T. U. of Oklahoma should
have got its facts straight. It Is true
that Secretary Hitchcock and his party
traveled on Mr. Busch's car, but the
statement that Mr. Hitchcock undertook
to advertise anybody’s beer is not true. I
Some of the editors of the Indian terri- I
tory and Oklahoma printed humorous
paragraphs about the car and Its “com
missary department," which, they said,
was undoubtedly well stocked. As a mat
ter of fact there was no commissary de
partment of that kind. The only liquid
refreshments that entered the car was
taken there by hospitable reception com
mittees and delegations who boarded the
car to greet the secretary and his party.
Some of these delegations accompanied
the secretary from one town to another
and naturally they wished to entertain
him with true southwestern hospitality.
The Oklahoma women mean well, but
they have taken seriousiy the Jokes of
some of their edtiors.”

would not resent it'; and he said, 'If
he ever bats his eyes at me. I’ll fill him
so full of lead that he will never tote it
oif.’ ’’

DIVIDEND IS CUT DOWN.
United States Steel Statement Shows
Considerably Reduced Earnings.
New York. Oct- 9.—The dividend on
the common stock of the United States
Steel corporation for the last quarter
was reduced from 1>4 per cent, to one- 1
half of l per cent., thus setting at rest
a matter that lias agitated Wall street
and financial circles generally for many
weeks. To quote a very high authority
in the affairs of the corporation, "the 1
action of the board was unanimous and
was caused by the falling off In bus
iness.”
This last is borne out by the financial
statement issued shortly after the meet
ing. The statement shows a decrease
of $4,642,668 (September estimated,) for
the third quarter of the calendar year,
compared with the same period last
year. On October t, 1902, the corpora
tion had unfilled orders of 4,843,000
tons on hand. This year the unfilled
orders on the same date amounted to
3,728,742 tons.
The course of steel common in the
last few months clearly indicated that
today's cut has been largely dis
counted.
The regular dividend of 1% per cent,
on the preferred stock was declared.
This dividend is payable November 16.
The dividend on the comon stock is
payable December 30.
The statement for the nine months
gives total net earnings, after monthly
deductions for repairs, renewals, main
tenance and Interest on bonds and fixed
charges of the subsidiary companies,
$94,013,836. Deducting amounts for
sinking funds on bonds of subsidiary
companies and depreciation of reserve
funds, brings the net earnings down to
$82,211,092. A further deduction of in
terest on the corporation’s bonds, in
cluding the sinking funds, leaves a bal
ance of $65,970,217. Dividends on the
preferred and common shares for the
nine months aggregate $86,629,475, leav
ing a balance of undivided profits or
surplus for that period of $29,348,742.

FIGHT WITH MAN
AT WHITE HOUSE
Peter Elliott of Minneapolis
Has Been Shadowing
the President.
OFFICERS CONQUER HIIV
- . |
Two Shots Were Fired From Weapon
in Secret Pocket, and Elliott Was
Badly Hurt—No Doubt of
His Insanity.
Washington, Oct. 7.—A desperate
hand to hand encounter with an armed
Insane man, who was determined to
see President Roosevelt, occurred In
the vestibule of the White house short
ly before noon today. The man, who
gave the name of Peter Elliott of Min
neapolis, was overpowered by officers
at the White house entrance and car
ried to a police van which had been sum
moned, and placed in custody of two
officers.
Seeming to realize for the first time [
that he was under arrest, Elliott be
gan furiously to struggle for liberty.
He drew a revolver from his trousers’ |
pocket and attempted to shoot Officer
Clssell. The officer wrenched the weap
on from his grasp, but Elliott strug
gled so fiercely the two officers were un
able to overcome him.
Clssell Bred two Bliots from the re
volver to attract attention, when two
White house officers rushed to the
vehicle and assisted In overpowering
Elliott. Elliott's head and face were
severely cut by the glass which he
broke.
Officer Clssell sustained serious cuts
on his arm. Both men were removed
to a hospital, where the Injuries were
Elliott Is Insane.
Elliott is undoubtedly violently In- 1
sane. Several days ago Secretary I.oeb !
received a letter postmarked Washing
ton, written on letter paper of the St.
James hotel. The letter enclosed a
photograph of Elliott and an Incoherent
request for an Interview with Roose
velt. The letter was signed "Peter Ell,”
the statement being made immediately
under the signature that the writer
was registered at the hotel as Peter
Elliott.
Mr. Loeb Issued directions at once
that the officers on duty at the White
House executive offices should be on
guard against Elliott.
Yesterday when the president attend
ed services at Grace Reformed church
Elliott appeared near the entrance of
the church and made an effort to speak
to the president, but was foiled by the
secret service officers. He quietly left
the vicinity when ordered to do so.
About 10 o’clock this morning he en
tered the vestibule of the executive of
fices and Inquired for the president.
The doorkeeper asked him why he
wanted to see him.
"Oh, Just for fun," he responded; “the
president sent for me, and I Just want
to see him.”
Called at Executive Offices.
Elliott was told to return next month.
He smiled and walked away, not offer
ing the slightest objection to the re
buff. His appearance attracted very
little attention and he gave no Indi
cation at that time of insanity.
Just before noon Elliott walked up
to the main door of the White House,
stepped Inside and Inquired If he might
see the president. Chief Usher Stone
told the man he could not see the pres
ident, as he was engaged. Instantly,
the man having been recognized, a
hurried call was 3ent In for a police
van. Scarcely had the call been sent
In when Elliott became violent. The
officer and attendant threw themselves
upon hint, and after a brief but stren
uous struggle, overpowered him. A
cursory examination of his pockets
disclosed only a pair of shears and a
large penknife. He became quiet, but
refused to leave the White House until
forced to go. Officers conveyed him to
the police van, and the struggle oc
curred Immediately.
Had a Revolver.
Elliott drew his revolver from a pock,
et which seemed to be an enlarged
watch fob. As that is a most unusual
place in which to carry a pistol the
officers in the first hurried search had
overlooked the weapon. It was a pis
tol of the ordinary bull dog, five shoot
er pattern.
At the hospital where the wounds
were dressed Elliott said he was a
Swede, 35 years old. He Is about 6
feet 6 Inches high, with light brown
hair and beard, apparently of foreign
birth. An official examination as to his
mental condition will be held very
soon.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 6.—Inquiries
developed the fact that Peter O. Elliott,
a machinist of this city, has not been
seen for several months. In the neigh
borhood where he roomed he was con
sidered rather peculiar. He talked much
of socialism.

WAR ON MERE PRETEXT.
Wayne MacVeagh Says England and
Germany Were Unfair to Venezuela.
The Hague, Oct. 7.—Wayne Mac
Veagh, senior counsel for the United
States, continuing his argument today
before the Venezuelan arbitration tri
bunal, declared the question before the
tribunal was one of ethics; namely,
whether or net the war against Ven
ezuela was just and necessary. He
maintained the complaints of Great
Britain were merely a pretext for war,
and that Venezuela had far greater
right on her side when she complained
of the dispatch of a British vessel from
London to the Caribbean sea to de
liver a cargo of arms to the Insur
gents! chief. General Matos, through the
Intermediary of agents at Trinidad.
Counsel said he found no precedent In
history for such a purely financial war
as he declared was undertaken by
Great Britain and Germany for the pro
tection of a railroad company’s bond
holders, and In support of claims des
coiito GcssUchaft.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 8.—The Northern ■;
Pacific suffered again last night from
the work of dyaarnteus. At 10:30. }
when an extra westbound freight was
three miles west at Birdseye, a sta- |
tlon eight miles west at Helena, an
explosion occurred. A portion of tho hS
tracks was blown out. The . lot and

PLAN TO KIDNAP GROOM
Miss Bryan's Girl Friends Had a
Scheme to Handio Mr. Leavitt.
Omaha, Neb., Out S.—Reports are
current here today of a tattle plot to
kidnap William Illumes Loavitt, who
was married to Miss Ruth Bryan,
daughter of William Jeoalugs Bryan.
The kidnaping was to have been done
by several girls at tbe Bella Gamma
society, of which Miss Bryan was a
member, and the object was to prevent
or delay the wedding because the girls
did not approve at Mr. Leavitt as a /
husband to Miss Bryan. At tbe last \
moment the nerve af tbe girls failed
and the plot was abandoned.
After' the plot wue formed tbe glrla
sought the all of several men students
at the university and secured their as
sistance to what they were told was a
"college prank.”
In detail, the plan was to Inform Mr.
Leavitt that Miss Bryan desired hiss
to come to her residence immediately
and a carriage would call at bis hotel- |
Instead of driving to Fnirview, the car
riage would drive to a cave several
miles In the country, south of Lincoln,
trusting that Mr. Leavitt would not no
tice the deception In the darkness.
When the cave was reached the uni
versity boys were to overcome Leavitt
and place him in the cave, where he
would be kept for a time.
It Is said the plot was mot abandoned
until late In the afternoon of the wed
ding day, when some of the Delta
Gamma girls weakened, and others de
cided the shock would be too great tor
Vllss Bryan.
EDISON’S LATEST.
Has an Invention Which Will Miti
Light at Almost a Nominal Cost.
Philadelphia, OeL 8.—Thomas A. Ed
ison has achieved the greatest of all his
triumphs in the conquest of the forces
of electricity. He has conceived and
created an electrical generator which
derives its power from a “fuel”, of mar
velous potency, oud which will place
electric lights und electricity propelled
vehicles In the hands of tho masses of
the people.
The perfection at this wonderful
things—so new that It Is yet unnamed-—
makes possible the almost universal '•
utilization of the Btorage battery, which
Mr. Edison Invented several years ago,.,
and the two creations go hand In hand
to the accomplishment of well-nigh In
conceivable results.
Six feet long, six feet high and five
feet wide, the generator Is capable of
producing electricity sufficient to store
one of the Edison batteries to run an !
automobile und light a house at a price
very much less than that exacted by
large supply companies.
The machine can now be made at a
cost of $450, and the inventor declares
that the cost will be much reduced in a
short time. After tbe first expense the
outlay for operating in almost nominal.
The generator la so simple in its
workings that any person of ordinary
intelligence can act as engineer.
Three pounds of the "fuel*” which.
Mr. Edison says has never been adapt
ed to Its present purposes before, will,
through the generator, light a house
and run a motor car tor twenty-four
hours. Mr. Edison explained to a re
porter that the machinery necessary to.
the manufacture of his Invention In
numbers sufficient to be placed on the
market Is yet to be constructed. He
expects, however, to have accomplished
that part of the work within a year.
The Inventory story of hls Invention is
me of fascinating interest.
