CONFESSES TO GUILT. fee- Work ef Moore Case at Beakelmaa -Gate Serea Tears. The session of district court at Bonk elman. Neb., came to a sudden close by the quashing of two informations and the entering of a plea of guilty by the young desperado, Theodore Moore, to the charge of burglary. He received a sentence of seven years in the peni tentiary, which sentence receives the universal approval of tVe people at Haigler. Sheriff Richards was. able to attend court and hopes to he able to convey yovBg Moore where be will be unable to assault him again with mux dtreua iateab t GOVE RHOR SAVAGE Takes Charge of Office and. is Ready for Business. It! WILL WATCH THE STATE EMPLOYES Says He Will Make No Removals, at Least at Present Will Permit All ef ' TJietrlch'ii Personal Staff ' ' i '- ' . V t Remain. ' At 9:50 O'clock Wednesday morning Governor Dietrich became Senator Dietrich. and at the same time Lieu tenant Governor Savage became gov ernor. This was accomplished by the acceptance of the resignation of Gov ernor Dietrich by. the secretary of state and the signing of the commis pon of Senator Dietrich by Governor! Savage. The act advanced the lieuten ant governor to governor and he went ahead with tbe business of the office as if he was an old hand at it. It was held unnecessary for him to take an additional oath of office, for when he was sworn in as lieutenant governor, he took the samo oath as the gover nor., The resignation of Governor Diet rich was as brief as it could possibly be made. It read: "I hereby resign my office as governor of Nebraska to take effect upon filing hereof." Deputy Secretary of State Frank McCartney in the absence of the sec retary of state, accepted the resigna tion marking the time at 9:50 a. xa." It has so happened that he has witnessed the certificates of two United States senators and accepted the resignation of one governor. The papers were presented at the , secretary of state's office every time when Mr. Marsh had been absent. Governor Savage did not take long to grow accustomed to the work and he was in a very short time being inter viewed by a host of people anxious to see what the plans of the'new official might he. The governor was forced to declare himself as the swarm of peo ple gassed in review( before him. To a group of newspaper men. Gov ernor Savage said later in the day: "I do not intehd to discharge one man, woman or child who is filling a state position now so long as he fills the position acceptably. But I shall watch them all and if any do not do right, I shall remove such on sight. It is not my determination to cause , any changes in the officers of the state tin less there is cs.use. 'Regarding my office here, I have asked Mr. Lindsay to remain if he de sires. - lie has private business that he says will occupy his attention short ly but he has sufficient time to perform the duties of his office here. I think he will remain two or three months at least, or as long as he desires. ' Mr. Clancey will remain till fall at any rate. Miss Purcell will stay in the office till June 1. I cannot say wheth er she will remain longer or not. Miss Meyers will remain permanently." A FEELING OF UNREST China. 8 till Ripe for Any Sort of Out break. "It is reported that the Japanese gov ernment has reserved a subsidized mail steamer for its own use," says the Shanghai correspondent of the Lon don Morning Post. This suggests that Japan is preparing for emergiences. 'Tbe desperate state of the private finances of Japan is said tueoe making the war propaganda popular. Accord ing to opinion in Shanghai an out break of hostilities would be the sig nal for a rising throughout China." "Everywhere among the Chinese there is a feeling of unrest," says a dispatch from the London Standard from Tien Tsin. "There is no doubt that petty attacks upon foreigners continue, and the statement is correct that bodies of well-armed Chinese are secretly drilling. Chinese picked troops are reported in strength in the vicini tv of Pao Tins? Fu. The situation de mands, the retention of the foreign troops for the present." Dr. Morrison, wiring the London Times from Pekin, protests that Count on Waldersee's policy of punitive ex peditions has "thrown the greater part of the province of Chi Li into an archy and disorder." "This is so complete," says he, "that the neighborhood of Pekin is now more unftafe for foreigners than at any pre vious time since the occupation began. The rrade with the interior is crippled The only armed Chinese are robbers and boxers, Restitution to the Chinese of territorial jurisdiction has become a paramount need." Enfrlaeer Killed. A Great Northern express train was, wrecked two miles west of Ft. Benton," near Helena, Mont. The engine, ten-'" der, baggage and mail cars were ditched and Engineer John Wilkinson was killed.' The fireman was thrown 150 feet, down an embankment, but received only slight iniuries. 'No pas sengers were injured. The wreck waa caused by a washout. Smelting- Works C'ed. Orders have been recei v d at Helena, Mont., to close the works of the American Smelting & Refining Co., at East Helena employing 600 men. The company tried to reduce the wages of the blast furnace men 30 per cent in consequence of the eight hour .law. The men agreed to a 10 per cent reduc tion. Pier Entirely Destroyed.

This is the first time New Orleans has ever had a visit from the chief magistrate of the nation, and it was a royal re ception which the old city extended to President McKinley. Mr. McKinley himself has been at New Orleans before.

The census bureau has announced that 'the center of population of the United States excluding Alaska and recent territorial acquisitions, on Juue 1 last was six miles southeast of Co lumbus, Bartholemew county, Indiana. It is described as latitude 39 degrees, 9 minutes and 36 seconds, and longi tude 85 degrees, 48 'minutes, 54 sec onds. In ten years the center of popula tion was moved westward fourteen miles and southward two and a half miles. .' This is the smallest move ever noted by the bureau. It shows the population of the western states haa not increased in recent years as rap idly as in former decades. The south ward movement is due largely to the great increase in the population of Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Tex as, and the decreased westward move ment as compared to the large in crease in the population of the North Atlantic states. The center of the area of the United States excluding Alaska and Hawaii and other recent acquisitions, is in northern Kansas. The center of population, therefore, la about three-fourths of a degree south and more than thirteen degrees east of the center of area. ' Muster Oat of Volunteers. The Twenty-second volunteers have been mustered out at San Francisco. The Thirty-first will be mustered out immediately. , ' Office House Burned. The building occupied by the Roth iner Coffee company at 300 South Eight street in St. Louis, was almost completely destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of about $75,000. Several thou sands of dollars of damage was done to the Oliver Wall Paper company ad joining, mostly resulting from water.- A . solid car of whisky, brandies, labels, dies and caps, said to be spuri ous, was captured at Eastman, Ga, by a deputy United States marshal. The car was consigned to an Atlanta firm. ' ... ' , City May Erect Tenements.

It For Gold? not so strongly DRUMMER WAS PERSISTENT . , - i And His Good Humor Woa . Him m Patron. Ye , festive drummer, according to the opponents of the trusts. Is rapidly becoming a relic of a past industrial system. However, there are a few of the kind left, and one of thev had an experience in Pittsburg a few days ago that seems to prove that the drummer ought not to be dispensed with, says the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegram. Thia one entered the office of the purchasing agent of one of the largest miUs on the south side. He took from his book of cards one of the pasteboard bits and laid It on the desk of the purchasing agent. The latter was extremely busy that day. and barely glanced at the card. "I don't want anything today," he said gruffly, and continued his work. "I'll just wait a while and maybe you'll think of something that you need," returned the drummer. He sat down on a chair and prepared to wait for a more favorable time for setting forth the advantages . of buying from his concern. . The purchasing agent be came angry, and, picking up the drum mer's card, tore It into little piece and tossed them on the floor. "Beg your pardon. Mr. Blank, but perhaps you do not know that those cards cost money," quoth the drummer. Here. John," the purchasing agent called to an office boy, "take this order to . ths cashier and set Mr. Fresh a nickel, the price of one card destroyed." The pur chasing agent glanced at the drummer as If to convey: "What have you got to reply to that" The drummer was ready for him. He tore from iiia book another card and laid it on the pur chasing agent's desk. . "Have another one, Mr. Blank," he said. "Probably you do not know that these come two for five. Get all you are paying forH" The purchasing agent could not resist a smile at the naiveness of the other, and his savage demeanor gave way to a more friendly spirit. He and the drummer had a good laugh at the lit tle comedy they, had enacted and in less than half an hour the drummer left the office with orders for . over $1,600 worth of goods for the south side concern recorded In his book.
