\
REHEARSAL OF CRIME.
Many Simple AcU Within the ! La\v
Which Are Overlooked.
Many people who have never been ac
cused of wrongdoing aud who live strict
ly "within the law" often make them-
selves liable to line and imprisonment ,
and are not punished only because the
laws are not enforced. The man who
stands before his window , where he can
be seen from the street , to adjust his
collar or necktie , or to get a better light
on a collar button , commits a misde
meanor forwhich lie may be fined or
may be imprisoned.
It is all right to be kind to the dog ,
but there is in many municipalities a
Hue for allowing the dog to run at large.
After you have given your dog a ruu
and started to take a walk , if you are a
smoker , you are liable to be a law
breaker by stopping at a letter box to
strike a match for your cigar. There
Js a severe penalty for defacing a let-
tor box , and making marks on it with
Ji match certainly does not improve the
looks of the box. To throw paper on
the stroot is often a punishable offense.
To expectorate ou the floor of the car is
also a misdemeanor.
Another "crime" is lliat of waving a
flag. It does not matter in the least
what the tlag may be , you must not
wave it in public or you will make your
self liable to line or imprisonment.
To play without a license any musical
instrument on the street is another un
safe practice , the danger of which is
quite unappreciated.
V Everybody knows the familiar "Keep
off the grass" signs of many parks , but
It is probably not known that In some
places the remarkably severe punish
ment of ten days in jail or a $10 fine
may be Inflicted on the offender. An
other law , which is not , however , with
out some necessity , is that threatening
the man who throws banana skins on
the street. In New York city he is lia
ble to a ? o fine or ten days In prison.
To engage in a lottery , however simple
and harmless , or to play any gambling
game , such as a friendly game of poker
on the train or boat , is punishable with
a fine and a term in prison.

Just an Average Day. h
Mrs. Morse was a truthful woman d
with nothing to conceal , so when she ft [
\vas asked , on the witness stand , to tell | fti'
what she did on a certain day between Is [
the hours of seven and nine in the morn- ' '
Ing , she responded without a trace of 'Pn
reluctance :
a
"First I helped little Jim get dressed ,
for he never can manage it alone. Then r
I ran downstairs and made the griddle- o
cakes , and saw to Mr. Morse's coffee ,
and carried up Robert and Dorothy for v
fear they'd be late to school , and ate an a
orange and some toast and a boiled egg si
I remember it was boiled too hard.
Bridget hasn't learned the right time d
yet and then our minister's wife came G
over to get me to help her cut out a
coat for the baby , and then I dusted the
parlor , and made five beds , and VSfi
straightened up the rooms , and mended fih
h
three of Mr. Morse's shirts , and pressed
out some neckties , and did a little darn fiP
ing. And I'd just got the pudding made P
and was beginning on some ginger tlS
cookies when I heard that cry that star S
tled the whole neighborhood. Now I Cl
Clt
wonder if I've forgotten anything. " t
But the judge , who , previous to her a
recital , had wondered whether Mrs. ah
Morse had not been in a position to see it
more of the catastrophe than she its
seemed to admit , pressed his hand to
his forehead with a dazed look.

it Secretary to the President
Indianapolis , Ind. , Sept. 24. Presi
dent Roosevelt's western trip came to
an untimely end in this city Tuesday.
He was found to be suffering from a
swelling in the left leg between the
knee and the ankle that required im-
mediate surgical attention , and , in
stead of being taken to the train to
'continue his journey to Fort Wayne
and Milwaukee , he was conveyed to St.
iVincent's hospital ; where he was op
crated on. The operation occurred al
i3:45 : o'clock , and lasted only a short
Jtime , when he was taken to a private
room in the hospital to rest.
After taking a light luncheon at
7:50 : p. m. , he was conveyed on a
'stretcher to his train , which had been
backed up to the "Y" near the hos
pital , and at ten minutes to eight
o'clock the train left for Washington ,
The first intimation that anything
1V
1t wrong came in the form of rumors
to the great crowd that was patiently
waiting around the Columbia club and .
the soldiers and sailors monument for .
the president to appear.
It was about 2:30 o'clock , half an
hour after the time set for the presi
dent to leave the city , that a few of
the favored ones in the crowd received
lintimatioDS ' that the president was
< ' b
sick : and that the rest of the trip would
'probably be abandoned. These state
t
ments were as promptly denied as fast
as they gained currency , but soon the
rumors began to take on a more seri-
ous character.
'The president , has burst a blood
u
vessel , " was a whisper that went
t
around among the police officers and
soldiers.
'This cannot be true , ' ' said others , ,
"for the president is in the corridor
conversing with Senator Fairbanks. "
Then it was said that the president _
was sick , I that he had fainted , and
finally a rumor was started that he
had been shot.
These rumors however , did not ap-
pear to reach the crowd , and the
thousands stood patiently after the
speech ] by the president from the bal
cony to see him make his way out of
the ] club. The minutes began to fly
away , and still he did not come. A aei
half hour or more passed and finally eiit
itP
was noticed that a movement of P
some < kind was on.
The president's carriage stood in f
front of the entrance of the club , with n
Colonel Wilson the ' e
, governor's pri
vate secretary inside holding the
large bunch of American Beauty roses o
that had been given the president in
the hall. J

Saloon Stabbing Affray
Lincoln , Neb. , Sept. 24. Walt Shel
don stabbed Warren Snelling in
Roeenstock's saloon at 915 O street
Saturday night about 10:30. Two
knife wounds were inflicted in the
young man's back. Sheldon made his
escape.
Those who witnessed the trouble
said Snelling was with a crowd of
.
friends at the bar drinking. Sheldon
was in the back end of the saloon.
He called to the people at the bar
usng ugly names. This Snelling re-
sen ted. He went back to ask Sheldon
what he meant by such language.
Sheldon's reply was a knife deftly
used. Before those at the bar realized
that a fight was in progress Snelling
exclaimed that he had been stabbed
and Sheldon ran out of the saloon. A
crowd . of Snelling's friends followed
him. He ran south and west toward
the railroad yards. When his pur
suers were almost upon him he dodged
behind some freight cars and was lost
to view in the dark.
Snelling's wounds were said by the
physician who was called to be pain
ful. They were deep flesh cuts but
will not prove serious.
Will O'Connor , John Kelly of 2130
F street and F. F. Robinson who lives
four miles east of the city , with
others , saw the fight. Robinson said
he s aw the knife and could swear that
it was wielded by Sheldon. '
Sheldon is a horse trader and once
[
before was mixed up in a cutting
scrape. Snelling is a young man about
town who has had trouble with the
police and who has been going a rapid
pace of late. Both were intoxicated
when the stabbing took place. The
police at once began a search for Shel
don but he could not be found. He t
is a grown man of large size while
Snelling is a mere boy in appearance

Say They Aided in Abduction of Wife and
Child Killed by Falling Debris.
Washingon. Sept. 26. The Golden
Eagle hotel , on the corner of the
Jersey avenue and D street , was
dynamited this mornng at 4.30
o'clock , by Frank McKie , one of the
guests , who subsequently committed
suicide.
Between twenty and thirty guests
were thrown from their beds by the
explosion , but only the proprietor ,
Louis Brandt ; and his wife , weie in
jured the latter seriously.
Kie roof of the building was
blown off and the falling wreckage
crashed through to the basement ,
leaving the structure as If wrecked
by a tornado. Every pane of glass
' in the building and the adjoining
'tructures was broken. The explo
sion called out the fire department.
The affair is envolved in some mys
tery. The proprietor gave a banquet
last night in honor of his wife , who
had just returned from Germany , and
McKie was a guest. McKie had
boarded at the hotel four years and
had been treated as a member of the
Brand family , which includes a
daughter , Sophie , with whom McKie
was said to be in love. Brand denies
that there was any understanding be
tween the two. McKie remarked last
night that he was going to wait un
til Sophie returned from Germany at
her mother's then he was going to
his old home in Philadelphia. Mrs.
Biand and her daughter returned
about 8 o'clock last night.
The attempt at ; wholesale murder
followed this morning. McKie. with
'a pistol in his hand , was seen by an
employe of a lunch room opposite
the hotel just before the shots were
tired. When the explosion occurred
a slight blaze sprang from the debris ,
but it was quickly extinguished by
the firemen. Brand and his wife
weie rescued before many of 'the thir
ty ; guests of the establishment had
reached the nart of the building fn
which McKie's room was located.
McKie , with a revolver clutched in
his hand , was found lying on the
floor with his head in a pool of blood.
A bullet hole rear the right ear had
caused : instant death.
Brandt was bruised about the body
and : shaken up badly and received a
severe ( cut on the left leg. Mrs.
Brandt sustained bruises about the
body and a cut hand. When the
wrecked building was searched today
enough dynmite was found in Mc
Kie's trunk to blow up a block or
buildings. There were six whole
sticks and parts of two or three bro w
ken < sticks , together with a box of
caps and a quantity of wire for long w
distance explosions. He had at least
aine sticks of dynamite io his pos
session.
McKie was about twenty-eight
ears old. He was formerly of Phila
delphia , and had relatives in Chica
go. His brother , Harry McKie , was
dlled in Chicago last year , according
a telegram found in the dead
nan's room today. McKie was a ma- C
hinist in the navy yard here but re-
iigned on inheriting upwards of $20-
KK ) about four vears ago. This aic
imount he is said to have lost on the aiPi
aces , and this act is accredited by PiC
lome to this loss. Detectives are C
nvestigating the case today.

AGED MAN KILLS HIMSELF.
Frrd Hoffman , of North Bend , Blowi HI
H ad Off.
North Bend , Nab. , Sept. 26. Citi
zens of this place were borriOed yes
terday morning to learn of the death
of Jj'red Hoffman , aged sixty-tw
years , by his own band. Hoffman
blew off the top of his head with a
shotgun last evening and his body
was found this morning lying ID a
room of the shack which he occupied
alone in the southern edge of town
Mrs. Howard , who lived near by
heard the r port of a gun about i
o'clock yesterday afternoon. She
feared that Hoffman had committee
suicide , as he bad told a number of
people that he was tired of living.
When her husband came home she
asked him to invesigate , but be said
he shot was probably fired by some
one bunting rabbits and paid no at
tention to his wife's apprebenshn.
This she sent her
morning ten-year-
old son to Hoffman's house to see if
he was there. The boy knocked , but
there was no response. He went
hack to his mother and she caused
some of the nieghbors to go to the
place and break open the door. They
found the remains of Hoffman lying
in a corner of the room with the top
of bis head above the ears entirely
blown away.
A shotgun lying near by told the
story of the self-destruction. The
sight which met the eyes of the
party as they entered the room was
u most sickening one. The brains
of the dead man had fallen into a
pan and looked as though they had
been taken out and laid there. Blood
and particles of flesh and brain were
scattered on a sofa and the walls and
floor of the room. A stream of blood
bad flowed the entire length of the
room , leaving pools here and there.
The dead man had carefully fasten
ed all the doors of the house before
killing himself. He left a letter ad
dressed to his children , which read
as follows :
" "North Bend , Neb. , Sept. 24.
iear children Don't let the county
bury me. Bury me as cheap as you
can. I have worked hard all my life
and can't work any more. God will
help you remember me when this you
see , so good bye. F. Hoffman. "
Be'ow ' the letter on the same page
was written "Send the Gorey Bros.
They will do something to help me. "
Hoffman had a wife and nine chil
dren , five of whom are married , but
he had become estranged from them
some years ago. He lived the life of a
bachelor , cooking his own meals and
doing his own housework. Four
weeks ago he was taken ill and two
weeks ago he was sent to the Fre
mont hospital. After remaining
there one day and night he was re
moved to the county poor house.
Last week he was allowed to come
back to North Bend by consent of
the board of supervisors.
Sheriff Kreader and Coroner Brown
arrived here on a morning train in
response t a summons by telephone
and held an inquest over the remains.
Only four witnesses were examined
and the case was clearly shownto be
one of suicide. Hoffman had told sev
eral of his neighbors that they :
need not be surprised to find him at )
any time with his toes turned up , as >
he was tired of living in the wahe

charges "assault with intent to do
great bodily harm. "
While some dissatisfaction is ex
pressed that the charge did not spec
ify an "intent to kill" the mildness
the complaint is accounted for in
the fact that the penalty is precisely
the same in either case , and in an-
jrdinary court it would be much
easier to prove the former than the
latter charge.
The prisoner is a man about thirty
pears < of age , and has a wife and two
children. It is said he has a most
ungovernable temper , and Saturday
night's shooting was but the out
growth of a melee that started some
ben days ago , when a man by the
name ; of Black got the better of him
a fistic encounter. He had
marched two of Black's brothers
borne ' at the point of a shotgun and
was looking for Black with the
avowed intention of killing him , when
met the constable.

Veteran Josiah Heller , place of resi
dence 706 South Walnut street , Ur-
bana , III. , says : "In the fall of 1889 I
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Cun
ningham's drug store In Champaign ,
and after taking the remedy conscien
tiously I made a public statement of
the results. I told how Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved me of kidney trouble , dis
posed of my lame back and the pains
across my loins , beneath the shoulder
blades , etc. During the interval which
has elapsed I have had ocasion at times
resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when
noticed warnings of another attack ,
and on each and every occasion the re
sult obtained was just as satisfactory
as when the pills were first brought to
my notice. At this time I just as em-
phatlcally endorse the preparation as I
id several years ago. "
