mingled with denunciations of the
clerical party. A few groups were
dispersed by the police , but nothing

The procession was then reformed
and proceeded to the prefecture , where
the official presentation took place.
Replying to an address of homags .
by Cardinal Pierre Hector Coullie , i
Archbishop of Lyons , M. Loubet said : j
"I must seiza this opportunity to j
demolish the myth that the govern- j

government takes too high a stand not
to respect all and to enforce respect

make it understood by all Catholics. |
This understanding must have been as '
a basis & loyal and complete observ

ROBBERS WRECK THE SAFE.
Attempt to Loot the Hank at Springfield
llctfuUti In Little Gain.
SPRINGFIELD , Neb. . Nov. 5. The
book safe in the J. D. Spearman bank
was blown open by burglars at 2
o'clock in the morning. It was an un
successful attempt at robbery , however -
over , as nothing was secuved excepting
J a revolver belonging to the bank. The
banks funds are kept in a large Mosler
safe and this was evidently too formid
able looking for the cracksmen , as it
was not molested. The explosion of
the wrecked safe was a terrific one and
wakened several people. L. A. Bates ,
living a block away , ran down an alley
and was on the scene In a few seconds.
Three men were standing at the rear
of the building. He was unarmed , and
while he went for assistance the rob
bers escaped. The Beatrice bloodhounds
arrived at noon and getting the trail ,
led the way to Gretna.
Three tough looking characters
headed from this direction arrived at
Gretna bespattered with mud and ap
pearing worn out from a long run.
They attempted to catch a train out
of that town , but failed and walked
down the track toward Chalco. The .
dogs did not hesitate a minute in '
Gretna , but went straight toward Chal
co.
co.The
The only damage resulting to the
bank was the wrecking of the safe
door and a fine typewriter , which was
smashed by the steel facing of the
door , which was blown across the room
where it 'knocked a window casing into
splinters. The flying steel also broke
a knob off the door of the large Mosler
safe. This is only one of the many
burglaries committed in this county
lately and if caught the perpetrators
will be prosecuted to the extent of the ,
law.
Slept With Gas Jet Open.
OMAHA , Neb. , Nov. 5. Samuel Os- .
borne of Ortonville , Minn. , was found '
dead in his room at the Windsor ho
tel , Tenth and Jackson streets. The
gas jet was turned on full and told
the manner of death.
Osborne registered at the hotel at 11
o'clock at night. To the clerk he ap
peared perfectly sober. A. L. Bell ,
night porter , who showed Osborne his
room , is quite certain the man had not
been drinking.
At 11 next day Mrs. Stephenson , a
chambermaid , knocked at the door and
receiving ? no response , tried the pass
key. She found that the door key was
in the lock. She thought she detected
the odor of gas and informed Proprie
tor Moore , who burst in the door. When
Osborne was found he evidently had
been dead but a short time , for his
body was still warm.
Among Osborne's effects was foun'l
a bank book showing a bank account
of over $300 at Meeteeste , Wyo. In
the bank book appeared the address :
"Mr. Fred Molin , Minneapolis , Minn. ,
care of S. H. Franklin & Company ,
620-22 First street , North. " Transpor
tation from Omaha to Rawlins was
also found.

Finds Gold In Kearney. |
KEARNEY , Neb. , Nov. 3-J. D. Bins-
ham of Minden , insists that there is
an abundance of gold about Sand
creek , a short distance south of this
city. He was in Kearney recently and
brought with him a sack of specimens.
He had been a resident of Kearney
county for twenty-one years and has a
farm'on Sand creek. He was an old
prospector and miner. His investiga
tions have been pursued for twenty
years. Mr. Bingham says the sand
hills will yield a dollar and a half to
fifteen dollars a ton and can be worked
with great profit with the Edison ma
chine. The machine costs a small for
tune , but with such a prospect as Mr.
Bingham paints , there should be no
trouble in obtaining the money. It is
probable the prospector's story will
have sufficient weight to interest some
of Kearney's capitalists.

are good buyers of that class of stuff.

sale and nrlccs weak. Feeders were rath
