liarrett Scott's Body Recovered.
O'NEILL , Neb. , Jan 20.-Special ( to
the Omaha Bee.-Niobrara ) river has
given up its dead and time body of Bar-
rett Scott has been rescued from its
.icy waters , a silent but effective witness -
ness to an awful crime. Over the sand
f ] tills that stretch in wind-swept confusion -
sion through the Niobrara valley a
silent company bore the bruised an l
beaten body homeward. Ilan in a
beautiful , but desolated home , t : eart-
broken woman and a golden-haired
child waited for their coming , and
f turned in speechless sorrow from those
who brought them sympathy. During
the time that had elapsed since the
terrible New Years eve , when the husband -
band and father was snatched from
their embrace , their bereavement was
not without its ray of ] mope. While his
fate was yet a mystery this hope sustained -
tained tlmem , but in the light of the
final discovery their courage faded and
they were liclpkess in their sorrow.
The body was found in the Niobrara
river about 120 feet from Whiting's
bridge , just before 10 o'clock last.night.
The discovery of the quilt during the
day had incited the searchers to increased -
creased efforts and they were not stopp
ped by darkness. Some of them had
] eft to bring reinforcements as soon as
the quilt was found , but Dell Akin ,
Jake liersheiser , Sanford Parker and a
half dozen others continued to chop
away the ice and drag the water by the
light of lanterns. A man named llud-
1
son , tvimo fives near Dorsey , was the
first to discover time object of their
sea reli.
It was about ten feet from the north
bank of the river , and in seven feet of
water. Sanford l'arker assisted him to
bring the body to the bank , when a
messenger was dispatched for the coroner -
oner of Boyd couuty , who had jurisdiction -
tion at that point.
lie arrived at daybreak and even in
that sparsely settled country a score of
citizens had soon gathered. A jury was
impaneled , and all the evidence that
could be gathered was heard. The jury
was not long in agreeing upon a ver-
l diet , of which the following is a copy :
' State of Nebraska , County of Boyd :
At an inquisition held at Whiting's
bridge on the Niobrara river in Loyd
county on the 20th day of January ,
1595 , before me , J. B. Hoover , coroner
of said county , upon the body of Bar-
. . , rett Scott , lying dead , by the jurors
whose names are hereunto subscribed ,
the six jurors upon their oath do say
that from the evidenceproduced before
them they find that on the 31st day of
December , iSOr , by shooting and hanging -
ing with a rope by the neck until he
was dead , in the county of Holt and
state of Nebraska , and that George D.
Mullihan , Moses Elliott and Mert Roy ,
and other citizens of bit county to
the jurors unknown , wereguilty of the
killing. The jurors further believe
from the evidence that the body was
carried to the brides and thrown into
the Niobrara river , from whence it was
taken. The jurors further find from
the evidence advanced that said killing
was unlawful , maliciously and feloniously -
iously done by the said George D. Mul-
likian , Moses Elliott and pert Roy and
others to the jurors unknown. Signed ,

WILLIAM POWELL ,

J. B. HOOVER , Coroner.
The remains were then carried to
f O'Neill , where they arrived at 3 o'clock
this afternoon. The body was taken
to the undertaking rooms of 0. F. Big-
lin , where it was seen by hundreds of
people. The corpse still lies on a
stretcher , just as it was taken from the
' river. None of the clothing had been
removed , except the hat. The overcoat -
, , coat , and even the mittens , are still
worn. His mittened hands are tied
tightly behind his back , and a noose of
half-inch rope still hanging around his
I i neck , tells how the work was done.
' The rope was cut about three feet from
' the noose , and the end is haggled , as
I
though it had been done in haste. The
appearance of the body corroborates in
+ every respect the version of the tragedy
previously given. The bullet hole is
still apparent in the right ear , and a
crimson furrow shows where it grazed
the check. 't'here are indications that
the lynchers were not simply content
with- taking the life of their victim.
His nose had been broken , and twisted
to one side. There is a large contusion
I just above the right eye , and another
I on the left temple. There is the mark
of a knife in his left boot , but as the
clothing has not been removed , it is impossible -
possible to tell whether the body bears
other marks of violence. The body is
perfectly preserved , and only the discolored -
-colored shin tells of its long sojourn
under the ice of the river.
The news that the body had been
found was broken to Mrs. Scott this
morning by Ed liersheiser. She had
I entirely given up hope , and when the
fear that he had been murdered was
made a certainty to her , her overstrained -
f ed nerves gave away , and since then
she has been completely prostrated.
The suspense of the past three weeks
has made a startling change in her appearance -
pearance , and she only looks a shadow
-of her former self.
The hour of the funeral has not been
.set , but it will probably be some time
Thursday afternoon. It will be one of
the largest gatherings ever known in
. I O'Neill. The Masons , Odd Fellows
-and Knights of Pythias of this and adjoining -
joining towns will attend in a body.
Tu3 ] , 300 Masons from Lincoln , Nehgh
Attkinson and Stuart will arrive Tues-
A day , and special trains be run by both
:
Now that Scott's said fate is fully
known the hunt for the murderers
-takes on fresh interest. New warrants
were sworn out today for the arrest of
Dfullilman , Roy and Elliott , on a charge
of murder , and a warrant was also
sworn out for Fred Harris on a similar
, cbarge. Harris is a farmer who lives

HAWAII'S UPRISING.
Dilnlster Willi , ' Report to the State
Department
WAsnINGT04 , Jan. 21.-This morning -
ing Minister Thurston received a
telegram from President S. V Dole ,
sent by way of San Francisco , and
reading as follows : "Rebellion broken.
Leaders and remaining follower
fugitives in the mountains. "
Another telegram received by the
minister was from Hawaiian Consul
General Wilder at San Francisco and
announced that the steamer Australia -
lia , whose regular sailing day was today -
day , would postpone her departure
until Monday amt that Mr Hatch , the
Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs ,
would return to Hawall aboard her.
Secretary Gresham received formal
notice of the uprising , in the shape of
the following dispatch from Minister
Willis , telegraphed from San Francisco -
cisco :
"HONOLULU , Jan. 11 , 1505.-To the
lion. W. Q. Gresham , secretary of
state , Washington : At Waikiakai
Beach , five miles from executive
building , night of January 0 , uprising
of llawaiians. Reported several hundred -
dred well supplied with arms and
ammunition. Commanded b3 Captain
Nowlein and P. W. Wilcox. The Hon.
C. L. Carter , late commissioner , killed
first night. Desultory fighting every
day since without further loss of
life or property to government.
Three Royalists killed.and fifty taken
prisoners. Over fifty noncombatants -
ants , mostly whites , arrested including -
ing three es-attorney generals and
many prominent citizens. Martial
law declared January i. No vessels
allowed to leave. All other islands
reported quiet. Crisis thought to be
over , but excitement still intense.
President Dole expressed to me his
gratification that no national ship has
been in port during this disturbance.
Arms reported to have been brought
from Vancouver by Norma.
WII.Id5. "
Soon after lie reached the state del -
l partment Mr. Gresham sent to tlic
I navy department for Secretary lIer-
bert and the two cabinet officers engaged -
gaged in a close consultation for half
an hour as to the advisability of sending -
ing a United States cruiser to the
islands.
After consulting for some time the
two secretaries came to the conclusion -
clusion that nothing should be done
toward sending a ship to Hawaii except -
cept by the direction of the president
and they went directly to the White
house to learn the president's wishes
in the matter.
Later Secretary Gresham requested
Secretary Herbert to dispatchm a vessel -
sel to Hawaii immediately. The vessel -
sel chosen is the Philadelphia and
she will have on board Admiral
Beardslee , the commander of the naval -
val station.
BROUGIT UP BEFORE CONGRESS.
Soon after the senate met to-clay
Mr. Frye of the committee on foreign
affairs offered a resolution expressing -
ing the "profound indignation"
with which the senate heard of
the efforts to restore the des-
posed queen to the throne of
Hawaii , sending words of sympathy
to the young republic and
expressing it as the sense of the senate -
ate that the United States government -
ment should at once dispatch warships -
ships to the islands. Senators gave
the closest attention to the reading
of the resolution and the galleries
filled rapidly. Mr. Frye asked that
the resolution be given immediate
consideration. After a stirring debate -
bate the resolution went over on objection -
jection by Mr. George of Mississippi.
Just before 2 o'clock Mr. Boutelle
of Maine got the floor in the house
with the purpose of presenting a resolution -
elution relative to the rebellion in
Hawaii. He made a fiery speech.
Mr. McCreary vainly tried to interrupt -
rupt Mr. Boutelle , whose words
gushed like a torrent. Mr. Boutelle
said nine-tenths of the people of the
United States and of congress , irrespective -
spective of party , had no sympathy
with the Hawaiian policy , which he
charged was directly responsible for
the tragedy in the h awaiian islands.
At this point the hour of 2 o'clock
arrived and the speaker announced
that under a special order the remainder -
mainder of the day would be devoted
to eulogies on the life of the late Representative -
resentative Lysle of Kentucky.
Mr. Boutelle vainly sought t have
the order set aside temporarily until
a resolution lie desired to offer could
be considered. When the speaker
rapped for order he continued
his appeal amid great confusion
and the speaker was obliged to order
himn to be seated and to instruct the
to enforce the .
sergeant-at-arms order.
The resolution was similar to that
offered by Mr. Frye in the senate.

STERMER MISSOURI SUNK.
THIRTY-FIVE LIVES REPORTED
LOST IN THE WRECK.
COMPANY CLAIMS ONLY TEN LOST.
Silo Struck a Rock in the Ohio River
Near Alton , Ind. , and Soon Went to
the Bottom-Story of the Disaster -
ter us Told by Captain White-
head-Nothing Was Saved
and the Loss Is TotaL
LoulsvIr.LE , Ky. , Jan. 22.-Time Cincinnati -
cinnati and New Orleans Packet com-
pany's steamboat State of Missouri ,
which was built for Kansas City merchants -
chants for use on the Missouri river ,
but was sold before it made its first
trip , was sunk in the Olio river just
below Alton , Ind. , at 5:10 : o'clock
Saturday evening , and according to
some reports , at least forty lives
were lost , while according to others ,
among them the company's officers ,
only a few negro roustabouts per-
ished. It is impossible at present to
learn just how many lives were lost.
It is certain , however , that at least
ten negro deck hands perished and
there is strong reason to believe that
this was only about one-fourth of the
total loss of life.
The State of Missouri left Cincinnati
for New Orleans Friday afternoon
with twenty passengers and a crew
of between seventy-live and eighty ,
most of the latter negroes. The passengers -
sengers were all ticketed through to
New Orleans. At horseshoe bend ,
near Alton , hid. , the pilot slowed
down , as the current was very swift ,
and turned his wheel so as to avoid
an obstruction known as Bullock
flock. Time rudder failed to respond
to the wheel and the next moment
there was a grindhirg , crashing sound.
The boat was first lilted on one side
as she struck and slid along time rock ,
then she settled and began to careen.
Everybody rushed for the upper
decks. There was a flash of fire from
the furnaces and a cry that the boat
ryas afire.
This added to the terror and passengers -
sengers and crew began to jump into
the water. The upper deck broke
away and floated away. Thirty-five
of the persons on board swain to a
clump of willows Gpuasite IIardmnan's
Landing and clung to the trees until
Mr. IIardman came out in a boat and
took them to his house on the bank.
Four were rescued on a mule , which
swam ashore. Thirteen managed to
secure the boat's yawl and floated
down to Alton , Ind. About ten of
the crew were not lucky enough to
get to time upper decks and went down
with the boat.
CAI'TAIN WIIITEIIEAD'S STORY.
In telling the story of the wreck
Captain 1Vliitehead said : "We were
coming down the river and making
good time. I was in the pilot house
and was just starting down to supper.
When I reached the cabin deck I noticed -
ticed the boat heading too much toward -
ward shor. , as I thought , and stopped
to see what was the matter. At
this time a Mr. Garland of Cave-in-
Rock , Ill. , came up and I told him
of the situation. He said : 'I can't
swim. how can I be saved ? ' I told
him to catch a plank and jump when
the boat struck. Garland jumped
and was the first man off the boat.
When the shock came a bray
negro jumped ashore with a line an
tied it , but the headway of the boat
parted the line and she swung
into the river. I saw the boat was
sinking and helped lower the boats
and assisted the lady passengers into
one of them. The steamer was then
rocking and I went to the upper deck ,
exp2ctmg to stay there until help
came. In less than four minutes the
boat had gone down over her upper
decks and I was knee deep in the
water. I jumped and began swimming
in the dark , when a negro who was
frightened and fighting for life ,
caught me by the hair for support. I
finally fought grog away and saw him
go down to rise no more. Just as I
reached shore I heard a loud report ,
saw a great flame and the cabin of
the boat rise high in time air , and then
I knew that the boilers had burst.
When I looked around I saw a yawl
with people who had boarded it before -
fore I left the boat , go down and
none of them were saved. "
The first clerk of the boat is now at
Alton , Ind. , insane. He was one of
the few in the boat who seemed to
try to do nothing , and lie was found
half buried in the mud on the Indiana -
ana shore below the wreck. He swam
clear across the river. It is thought
that his reason will never return.
As the rear end of the boat went
down the forecastle caught fire , and
for two minutes lighted up the whole
country , but the boat soon settled to
the bottom and left the struggling
people in utter darkness. The Louisville -
ville and Evansville packet City of
Owensboro came along soon afterward -
ward and picked up passengers and
did everything possible for them.
At this point a photogroph of a baby
was found with part of the wreck ,
but nothing is known of it. The picture -
ture was made by Porter ' of Newport -
port , Ky.
At S o'clock yesterday morning the
rear end of the hull of the steamer
was caught at 'troy , and thirty-
five drowned mules securely tied
to the guards , were found.
The piano of the boat was hauled in ,
together with several books of music.
At Crocketts men caught half of the
cabin , the clerk's register , the entire
clerk's office and the safe , containing
much money. A stateroom was also
caught , containing a dead roan. who
up to this time cannot be identified.
It is the only great Ohio river disaster -
ter since the Reindeers boilers exploded -
ploded and killed 200 people. The
scene of the wreck is the most desolate -
late place on the Ohio river , and almost -
most jnaccessible.
ALL PASSENGERS PROBABLY SAFE.
At the office of the packet company
a dispatch was received from Captain
Newton of the steamer State of Kansas -
sas , stating that all the passengers of
the State of Missouri had been picked
up at Alton and other places.

THE STRANGE STORY OF KING
ARTHUR'S REIGN.
; ho Baby That Was Laid on Britain's
Shores by the Waves , and When Ills
Life Was Done Carried Out Again Into
the Night by Ohl Ocean.
King Arthur.
It has been so long since King
Arthur lived that history is inclined
to look doubtfully upon him and his
exploits , but the beautiful legends
surrounding his name have a life
quite independent of their historical
accuracy.
King Uther of Britain lay dying in
his seagirt castle of Tintagil. Amid
the roar of the winds and the waves ,
for the night was stormy , were heard
his cries that he might be given an
heir to succeed to his kingdom. Merlin -
lin and Bleys attended to their dying
master , the last service their wisdom
and magic were to render him. In
all the land these two were reputed
the wisest and they were revered as
magicians and prophets.
In the middle of the night they left
the dead Icing and went out on the
stormy seacoast. There they saw
wave after wave rear itself and dash
with fury against the shore. On the
crest of the ninth they saw a shining
bark , which vanished in the blackness -
ness , while to their feet rolled time
waters like flame , and queer Sounds
came faintly to them through the
crash of the tempest. When time waters
receded , there beneath the walls of
the high rocky castle lay a child ,
brought by the sea , and Merlin lifted
it , crying :
"Our king ! here is an heir for
Uthed"
The child thus laid at time door of
the king's castle by the arms of the
sea , was Arthur. Time wise Merlin
gave him to a knight , Sir Anton , who
raised him to manhood as his own
son. This was done because Merlin
knew the nobles would not acknowledge -
edge Arthur as Uther's heir and their
rightful king until by his prowess in
battle he had proved himself worthy.
Now during all the years of Arthur's
childhood time land of Britain had
been a scene of continual war between -
tween time nobles , who each claimed
time kingship for himself , and so when
Merlin brought Arthur forth as
Uther's heir and king of Britain th3
country was torn by internal strife ,
while time barbarians attacked it from
without.
Arthur came as a deliverer , who
made the land one under him , who
drove the barbarians from time boundaries -
aries of the kingdom and freed
Britain from Rome.
In Camelot , the wonderful city of
spires , was Arthur crowned. Merlin
had proclaimed liiiti to the people as
heir to Uther ; some believed , but
many mocked and came to the coronation -
tion only to jeer at the new-made
king. But as he sat throned beneath
the stained chancel window in the
castle hall , at his side stood three tall
queens , robed in shining white. Mysterious -
terious and more than eartlmly seemed
they , so that whispered awe instead
of mockery pervaded the vast throng
in attendance.
Then Arthur spoke , and when time
nobles heard his simple , stirring
words of true knightly valor , filled
with sudden fervor , they approached
and swore to be true to him and the
vows that he had proposed. Thus
came the Round Table of Arthur and
his knights , a goodly fellowship , time
fame of which still endures.
Through the land spread the tidings
of all these thing , of time mighty {
king , who , some said , was sent by
heaven and tvlmo , Merlin had foretold ,
would pass from them when his mission -
sion was complete , but would never
die. Time three queens were spoken
of with bated breath and strange
signs were in the air. It was a marvelous -
velous time.
Now , Arthur , one day , standing
with his knights on time margin of a
lake , saw , far out in the water , an
arm , clothed in mystic wimite , holding
aloft a sword. He took a boat and
rowing to time spot , grasped the
sword. This was Excalibar , the sword
of victory , by whch he quelled rebellions -
bellions , drove out the heathen and
conquered time land. The lady of the
lake , far down in the glassy depths of
her home , had made it for their king ,
said the people.
The fair Guinevere became King
Arthur's queen anal to their court
at Camelot thronged all time beauty
and valor of the land , where tournaments -
ments and jousts were held and minstrels -
strels sung their lays. Sir Lancelot -
lot , Sir Percivale , Sir Gawaine ,
Sir Tristam , Sir Bedivere and
mnanv other gallant knights here held
feast with their icing , rode with him
to the chase and went forth to win
fame by daring deeds in behalf of the
oppressed.
But Arthur was to pass away , so g
Merlin had said , and time day drew
nigh. Modred , once a loyal knight of
the Round Table , took up arms
against the king. Many were the
dark and bloody battles fought , in
which all his much-beloved knights , I
save Bedivere , had fallen nobly fighting -
ing in his cause.
In the mist of a dreary sea-coast ,
the last blows were struck and Arthur
slew Modred. Then , as night closecl '
in , time king was borne by Bedivere tea
a ruined chapel , for he had been
wounded and he knew his end was
nigh. Taking his ; God sword Excali-
bar , he gave it to Bedivere , charging
him to cast it into the lake near by
and bring him word of what lie saw.
Twice Bedivere hid the wondrous
sword among time rushes on time marin -
e
; in of time lake , thinking its beauty
too great to cast away. But when
tlrthur rebuked him lie returned the
third time and threw it far out over
the water.
Then , in the middle of the lake
-
r
rose the same white arm , which
grasped the sword , and brandishing
it aloft three times , sunk from view.
When Bedivere related to Arthur
what he had seen , Arthur knew that
his time had come. He commanded
Bedivere to bear him down to the
seaside. There lay anchored a black
bark and on its deck moved three
stately forms who tenderly bore the
wounded king on board.
Then out from the land moved time
strange ship , and Bedivere stood on
the higlmest rock watching it slowly
bear away its precious burden till it
yanished in time glow of the newly
risen sun.-Philadelphia Times.
For Amateur actors.
What to act is a question that to be
answered satisfactorily requires much
thought and the exercise of no little
judgment : As a bit of advice , the
amateur manager is cautioned to be
modest. It is extremely likely that
the acting material lie lmas to draw
upon ms not of time stuff of which stars
are made.
The work of plotting a play requires -
quires great natmenee and not a little
work. Time stage-manager should
first read time play over several times ,
familiarizing himself thoroughly with
its spirit , purport , and object. Then
he should endeavor to work out a
plan of action that will bring out all
these particulars. lie should study
each character carefully , so that iie
can determine its exact proportionate
value to the story , he simould think
, out characteristic bits of business
I that will heighten the effect of each
part , and lie must devise stage groupings -
ings of time characters that will make
pictures ; for a play is really a story
illustrated by living pictures.
'l'ime , groupings must be so
, arranged that the component
parts balance each other. Care must
be taken that no actor stands in a
line and so hides anotlmer ; neither
slmould there be a majority of players
on any one side of the stage. They
slrould be so grouped ] that an artistic
equilibrium is always established.
't'hen each page of text must be considered -
sidered so that time entrances and
exits are all consistently arranged.
Thus , if a character goes off' ' through
a door on time loft-hand side of time
stage , say to enter that part of the
I house set apart for the family , it
must be se3n that on his reappearance -
ance he does not conic in through a
door wlmich is supposed to communicate -
cate withm the street. All these little
points have to b most carefully con-
sidered. Then when an act or scene
has been thought out in this way , the
exact method of procedure slmonld
be set down on the blank page opposite -
posite the printed page , so that when
the stage-manager comes to drill his
forces , he may know just where each
character should be at almost every
line of the play's text.Harper's
Young People.
Politeness.
A delightful little incident ms told
in the Irish Times about a monkey
and a clog : A brave , active , intelligent -
gent terrier , belonging to a lady
friend , one day discovered a monkey
belonging to an itinerant organ
grinder seated upon a bank within
the grounds and at once made a dash
for him. Time monkey , who was attired -
tired in jacket and hat , awaited the
onset in such undisturbed tranquility
that the clog halted within a few feet
of him to reconnoiter. Loth animals
took a long , steady stare at each
otimer , but time dog evidently was recovering -
covering from his surprise and about
to make a spring for time intruder.
At this critical juncture the monkey ,
who had remained perfectly quiet
hitherto , raised his paw and gracefully -
fully saluted by lifting his hat. The
effect was magical. ' 1'lie dog's head
and tail dropped and lie sneaked off
to time house , refusing to leave it until -
til his polite but mysterious guest
had departed.
