Physicians Hope On , But a Crisis Is
Imminent.
After a day of apparent Improve-
ment , Gov. Johnson Friday night , at
Rochester , Minn. , was at death's door

Mr. Johnson's condition , but about 7
o'clock a bulletin was issued stating

ed over the tender and compelled the
engineers and firemen to march back
to the express car.
Engineer Smith , of the first engine ,
was told to hammer on the door and
order the express messenger to open
it. The latter refused and a charge of
dynamite was placod under it and the
door blown open. Three of the robbe ;
rushed in , covering the express mes-
senger with revolvers. Several
charges of dynamite were placed un-
der the safe but without result except
to wreck the inner part of the car.
After firing a volley the robbers
fled in the darkness. One of the
trainmen in the meantime had reached
malta and Sheriff Campbell with a
posse at once started in pursuit.
It is said the safe contained a large
sum of money. The train was known
as the Chicago and San Francisco ex #
press.

MUST HAVE PIE.
t
Omaha School Children Disregard Or-
ders of School Authorities.
You can't keep a kid from eating
pie when he really has the taste and
the pri : e.
The Omaha high school authorities
thought they could by simply laying
down the law so that no pie should be
kept for sale in the school restaurant.
But they now have another large , deep
thought due them.
Pass along Twentieth street , be-
tween Farnam and Harney , and you
are likely to observe a pile of these ;
thin pasteboard pie plates , sometimes
as many as fifty in a pile. At the
corner of Twentieth and Farnam is a
grocer who keeps pies , and at noon it
is only a short walk from the high .
school to this store.
Apparently , instead of shutting pie
off the menu , the school authorities
, have driven the youths to eat nothing
but pie.
Lilly Case is Appealed.

husband's life.

HEBRON FIRE.
Blaze Gains Headway and for Timf
Threatens Town.
The worst fire Hebron has had fo.
many years raged Saturday , and fOI
[ a time it looked as though the entirt
place was doomed , but owing to thE
plentiful supply of water and the ef-
fort of the fire boys the fire was g)1
under control.
The fire started in Myers' : livery sta-
ble and in a short time that building
had burned to the , ground. It soon
spread to the lumber yard of the J.
H. Yost company. The air was thick
with smoke and flying embers and
several residences were on fire. 1\11'
Myers lost all his buildings , together ]
with ten head of horses , buggies and
other truck , the loss being estimated
at upwards of $4,500 , with an insur-
ance of $2,200. The lumber yarel'
loss was about $30,000 , with an insur-
ance of $20,000. J. G. Writh , hardware
merchant , lost 360 kegs of nails uponr

fessed to having robbed the safe an (
then applying the match to the build
ir. g. The police in going over the ruin
discovered the safe unlocked. Th I
. Anderson was sent for on the pretense
that his assistance was needed. Upor
his arrival at the scene he was a1'
rested and accused of arson. He alse
made a full confession , but would not
say how much money he had taken
though he admitted that he had beer
robbing the business for more thaI ;
a year. He said that Saturday he :
secured a quantity of fuse and laid i'
in a manner so that it would requi
several hours for it to do its work. The
he applied the match and locking the :
building took the books and start
home , hiding them in a lumber yard
where they were found later.
WORK FOR SUPRF.3IE COURT.
Question of Liquor Selling in Linco
Will Be Settled.
The supreme court will meet Sep- ;
tember 21 and at that time it is very
probable the court will pass on tht '
motion of the state oil inspector for a
rehearing in the non-partisan judi-
cialy : , case.
Among the cases of great impo
tance to the city of Lincoln , which
now serves its people with all the liq-
uor they desire through the medium
of clubs , though the town is dry , fig-
uratively speaking , is that in which
the right of a club to sell or serve
booze in a dry town is to be tried out.
When the town first went dry the ;
clubs at once stocked up heavily and
then when there were rumors that the :
police were going to interfere they
promptly got out injunctions to com-
pel > the people to let them'alone. So
the supreme court is to pass upon thG
legality of that injunction.
Peculiar Accident to Farmer.
J. i ' r. Maher , one of the best know
farmers near Fremont , slipped while

hand caught in the gearing , and hE

brought men to the rescue.

CHICAGO.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Chicago Trade says : "The growth In
banking power reflected by the official
statements this week adds further tes
timony to the improved commercial
position. Loans are seen to have In-
creased considerably over this time
last year and there are developments
In ( progress which foreshadow a

near future. The discount rate , con-
sequently , gathers firmness. It is for-
tunate that credit operate smoothly

needs [ of tho industries and transporta-
tion : Interests now entering upon a pe-
riod of greater activity.
"Trading defaults again make : an
encouraging exhibit. Movements of
commodities make a favorable db .
parison with a year ago. Increasing
production is noted in Iron , wood ,

"Machinery makers report wider re

mining purposes , and the improvement
is ( well sustained in electric lines ,
heavy hardware and furniture.
"Despite poor export requirements
the dealings in grain and flour remain
targe. Mail and road orders are ex
ceptionally good , and aggregate book-
ings make a high total for dry goods ,
footwear and food products.
"Bank clearings for five days , $231-

NEW YORK.
Operations in industrial lines an
still expanding , and in some branches
of the iron and steel trade record t. '
puts are the rule. In fact , manufactu
ing is in the forefront as regards ac-
ivity. Jobbing trade is good , and at
some centers , particularly where fall
festivals are held , purchases of dry
goods , groceries and staple lines in
general have really increased.
The earlier gathered crops , such as !
wheat , cotton and oats , are being
aoved to market quite freely , and tha
good ; prices being realized from the
sale of these products will make for
easier collections and growth in trade.
