Lost His Grip.
Nlobrara , Neb. , Aug. 3. Special to
The News : Oscar L. Olson , proprietor
of the Newman Grove marble and
granite works , had his grip stolen at
the Nlobrara depot. Although val
uable to him , the grip would not be of
much value to anyone else. While
waiting for the train which was to
take him to Verdel , Mr. Olson set
his grip down and left It for a few
moments. He noticed a man with a
short rod mustache carrying a grip
toward town that looked like his , but
didn't realize until too late that the
grip belonged to him.
MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
The Victim Said Nothing , but Did
Heap of Thinking.
At a railway station the other day
"a gentleman from the country" yield
ed to the pressing solicitation of n | er-
slstent newsboy and bought n penny
weekly paper.
But here was a dlfllculty n shilling ,
nc change nnd the engine of the train
giving unmistakable evidence of n
speedy departure.
The bargain was about to bo can
celed when the boy volunteered to get
the shilling changed Into pence.
"But , " said the gent , "perhaps you
will not return with the 11 pence. "
The boy's face wore nn Injured look.
"If you are afraid to trust me , sir , "
Bald he , and there \vns the least trace
of emotion In his voice , "you can have
the other eleven copies ns security. "
Something suspiciously like moisture
came Into the old man's eyes ns he
glanced Into the bright , open counte
nance of the boy , and he felt heartily
ashamed of himself as ho mechanically
held out his hand for the remaining
eleven copies.
Ho watched the little fellow nn he
trotted down the platform till ho sailed
round a corner and was lost to sight.
Fifteen seconds later the engine gave
final shriek , and the train slowly
glided out of the station.
The man glanced round nt his fellow
passengers and handed n copy of the
paper to each one from his pile.
Ilo said nothing , but ho seemed to be
thinking. London Tit-Bits.

NEW REGIME IN TURKEY.
Young Turks Party's Effort to Bring
About Popular Rule.
Turkey , which wan recently the
ficeiie of nn uprising against the Young
Turk * party , Is at the beginning of her
first serious attempt at popular gov
ernment. A constitution wns grunted
the country July 2-1 , 11)08 ) , hy the sul
tan , under the terms of which elec-
tloiiH for n parliament were hold. Thu
new legislature was Inaugurated Dec
17. Since then the empire ban been
under constitutional administration.
The hand of the sultan was forced ,
and he was obliged to give the country
a constitution , by the Young Turks ,
who hnd been partlculnrly active under
dor the leadership of the committee of
union nnd progress Mnce 1005. The
co-oiwrntlon of the army wns obtained
by means of a succe-ssful secret propa
ganda , and had not the sultan given
way when he did two army corps
would have marched on Constantine
ple.
ple.The
The granting of the constitution wan
followed by tlio dismissal or flight ol
various members of the palace faction
and the Installation of olllclals dictated
by the successful Insurgents. Since
the first days of Its success the course
of the committee of union and prog
has been dictatorial , nnd the po
litical nctivltics of the Young Turks ,
particularly In the direction of admin
Istrntlve control , hnvo aroused a
tor political sentiment which has
talllzcd the opposition of the Liberals.
The present grand vizier of Turkey
is Illlinl Pasha , who was appointed
Feb. 1 i in succession to K lain 11 Pasha
Illlml Pashn wns formerly minister ol
the Interior nnd before thnt served nt
Inspector general of Macedonia. Alt
Rlzn Pasha is nilml Pnshn's minister
of wnr. lie holds nlso the marine
portfolio and Is grand mnster of artil
lery. These and the other changes In
the cabinet which took place in Feb
ruary showed the control by the
Young Turks party , which virtually
Imposed on the sultan a ministry of Us
own nominees.
The Young Turks on Feb. 44 public
ly repudiated any Intention to over
throw the sultan or to Install n mili
tary dictatorship , but the crisis and Its
outcome were then regarded ns not
promising well for the stability of the
throne or the success of the parlia
mentary government. The committee
of union nnd progress consistently op
posed Klnrnll Pnsha , Hllml Pasha's
predecessor. It suspected him of be
ing too considerate of pnlnce Influ
ences nnd complained of his slowness
In conducting the negotiations with
Austria-Hungary nnd Bulgnrln.
The Young Turks have fallen in the
estimation of many Turks in the Unit
ed States , nnd the present ipovement
Is looked upon as quietly prcsnglng the
overthrow of thnt dictatorial party. It
Is declared thnt despotism exists In
Constantinople under the now oreler sis
grent , if not greater , than ever before.
The feeling wns expressed by N
Moknrzel , editor of the AI Iloeln ,
daily newspaper of New York :
"Armenians , Syrians , Mohammedans
these people hnvo no show. The
Young Turks hnvo granted no consid
eration to the Christian element of the
empire. They have become despotic.
The only difference Is that where once
wo bad to deal with only one despot
now wo hnvo n society of them. "
