The preliminary hearing of Tim Whalen on the charge of attempting an assault last Saturday on Martha Luchinsky with a vile intent, was called op in Justice Archer's court this afternoon and an audience which taxed the capacity of the court room was on hand to overhear the proceed ings. Byron Clark, Wbalen's attor ney, started the proceedings by filing an affidavit alleging that the defense was short on material evidence which it could not for the present produce, and asked for a continuance of thirty days. County Attorney Travis re sisted the granting of thecontinuance, bit Mr. Clark sprung a supremo court I ,.( 1 which he claimed made it ta tilt tory for the court to grant the ; 1 .1 1 1 aai e, and the defense was ac ; : li sly givati the relief asked. The 11. or ities allege that influence has ij i s i brought to bear on a few of the state's witnesses with the object of keeping them out of court, and for this reason County Attorney Travis took the precaution to have all of the witnesses called into court, where their recognizance in thesum of 8100 each was taken for their appearance when the hearing comes up thirty days later. Whalen's bond was fixed at 8500. It is stated that he will be able to furnish the required bond, and in that event he will be free until the date of the hearing. Gospel Meeting: For Men.

CHEER A CONVICT'S CONTROL. Kearney Democrat. The state of Nebraska bears the dis tinction of being the only state whose penitentiary is under lease to a convict. Mosher, who is serving a term in the Sioux Fails penitentiary, holds a lease on the Nebraska penitentiary, and bis lease will not expire for sometime yet, and his interests are looked after by an old friend as manager. The federal rand jury, now in session at Omaha, is after Mosher's associates in the Capital National bank wreckage, and it is likely that several big birds will be brought down from the high branches. The investigation into Mosher's methods by the federal grand jury promises to disclose many sensa tional features, the most startling be ing the close connection of several prominent names with Mosher and his methods, and the new light thrown upon several transactions will be full of surprises for the public. It is said to be the purpose of the Majors outfit, according to the Bee, to get a resolution through the legislature to provide for a recount of the ballots cast for governor, in the expectation of throwing Ilolcomb out. We don't see hew that would help Majors, because he has allowed the day for giving no tice of a contest to go by without ac tion. If Majors friends really thought he had been counted out they should have contested, and then a recount would have availed them to some extent. Why would it not be a good plan to have Judge Brewer appointed general law censor, now that he can suspend laws at will. Notwithstanding he de clares them constitutional? If Mr. Davies were to introduce a resolution in the house to that effect no doubt it would go through with a whoop. In our judgment Judge Brewer makes a better Sunday school teacher than he does a judge of law. Oxk of the most remarka ble defal cation sever made was that recently discovered wherein Samual C. Seley, a book-keeper in the Shoe and Leather bank of New York robbed that con cern out of $454,000 and then decamped with only $200 of the money. It seems that Seeley had an accomplice in the person of Frederick It. Baker, who got all the money, in 5200 lots, and while living like a prince, during the last ten years in which this system of robbery, by means of false entries, has been go ing on, and pretended to'invest it for the benefit of both. Seeley on the other hand, has been almost a recluse, living very quietly, and frugally, with his wife, never spending a cent, even stinting himself in every way, even denying himself soda water to save nickels and dimes toward paying on the house in which he lived. Baker, the chief beneficiary, and in fact the only one, has committed suicide by drowning. Seeley has disappeared. What was the impelling motive for all this years of forgery and fraud? That is a question that is of difficult solu tion in this case. lie must have been enduring a living hell all these years It must have been the result of hypno tism. n4e4nAnAaAe AM.niiHienanin WOOD MANTELS.

JoxKS.the Pittsburg iron tariff baron and at one time chairman of the republican national committee, says "the work of restoring the tariff to what it was two years ago should begin immediately. This kind of agitation will be for the better." Are we, then after all, to have the McKinley bill re enacted in its entirety? The democrats could ask nothing better. The average wealth produced annu ally in this country by each manual worker, according to the census re ports, is valued at $2,000. The average amount paid as wages to each worker, according to the same authority, is $346.
