A Steam Ulster. A couple of traveling salesmen weio the only occupants of the smoking cat- besides an old farmer. Wanting a little quiet fun at his expense , they began talking of the ' wonderful , mechanical and other soiontille improvements of late years. The farmer did not appear so astonished as they expected , and mean while tin overcoat belonging to one of them caught lire from a cigar. By the tlmo half the tail was burnt off the owner noticed it , and , observing the laugh in the farmer's eye , angrily asked : "Von saw it ; why didn't you tell me it was burning ? " "Oh , " replied the tiller of the soil , "I saw what 1 thought was smoke , but I didn't know , from whnt you were talking about , but that it might bo some now kind of an ulster that went by steam. " Calling Up Another \Vorltl. Ilo was one of a number of drummers sitting in the hotel ollice , and ho stepped up to the telephone with the remark that ho was going to spring a little joke on the girl at the central olllee. "Hollo ! " he called through the 'phono ; "give mo St. 1'etor , please. " Then ho listened ; and as ho listened ills face took on a oueor expression. Af ter a minute ho signalled that ho was through with the wire , shrugged his shoulders and sat down. "What did St. Peter say to you. Bob ? " nt-ko I a friend. "She didn't give mo St. Peter , " said Hob ; "she gave mo the devil. " That Iliill'alo ( lap Telephoning.

A recent decision of the supreme court of the stale of Nebraska to this effect has' enabled a gentleman to secure damages to the amount of $1,000 for valuables taken from the car while out for dinner at ono of the dining sta- lions.

In the Grand Pacific last even ing , says the Chicago Tribune , ho told ( iomothing about the present gold-mine cra/.o in the Oriental hind. "China has nearly gone wild , " ho said , "over the late gold finds. Hun dreds are daily moving near the mines with the hope of getting rich in a few days , There is scarcely ono person In . " ) ( IO there that knows anything about mining. Most of them would not know gold if they saw it. Some 2M ( Chinese have been summoned home from Cali fornia , and it is thought nearly all of the Chinese who hnvo lenrned mining in California will return to their native land. Two concessions have recently been granted. Both are in the prov ince of Lingi. Ono is in favor of Klin Ching , the Siamese consul at Singapore. The other was secured by a correspon dent of the Pall Mall Gazette. These concessions were granted on the con ditions of 5 per cent royalty on the out put of gold and 13 per cent on other minerals. Concerning the gold mines the Chinese government seems to bo quite generous. As n rule you can't get any kind of a concession in China. I know English parties that have been applying for thorn for more than twenty years. You know the Standard Oil trust attempted to gut certain privileges to develop the petroleum fields of China , but it was defeated and the engineers driven away from the contry. " ! AN OTOE'S INSANE REVENUE , j/ _ . _ How Half-Breed Wiiltewnter Avenged Ilia | TWO INNOCENT MEN WERE S4CRIFICED. Duvld Walters Never Came Ilnuk Alive , mill IHsT ; i-rlllc ) Kato Drove Ills AVI To Into nn Insane Asylum. j LtNTOt.K , Neb. , Mtuvh ! ! 0. [ Special to Tin : BKI : . ] Late la the month of .lime , 1S7I , n husbund and wife stood by the side of a cov ered Wilson near hotnesteader's cabin nt Charter Oak , u country neighborhood in the northwestern part of Xemahu county. The wife held u babe some six months of age In her anus , mid she stood then to take whnt proved to be the lust good-bye from her hus band. No thought of this , however , entered the mhiils of either of them. They looked uK | > a the separation so soon to take place as ono for their future welfare and hap piness , uml smiles played upon their faces rather than the clouds IncUK-iit to tears. Hut their hands were clasped'nemo the less ten derly nnd the lingering kiss exchanged that tells of that love and coiilldence that ought to accompany wedded life. Lifting his bubo from his wile's arms he left the mark of a father's affection on either cheek , climbed Into his wagon , spoke to his spirited horses mid disappeared rapidly over the rolling prai rie. rie.The wife watched her husband ns long as she could sec him , then turned slowly and went Into the cabin , n building 11x111 feet , with a single room , yet clmraeU-ristte hi uleo of the homesteader's home of that curly day in this state. Prior to this some four or live months David nnd Mary AVultci-s left Hello I'luine , Minn. , to seek a home , mid with the hope that they might better their condition in life in Ne braska , stopped temporarily with John Trims whont that time was pastor of the Christian church in that settlement. Mr. AVultcrs and Mrs. Triinx were brother nnd sister. Ho soon fell in love with Nehruska's beauti ful prairie hinds nnd healthful climate , nnd decided to homestead and build up a home in which to cnjov the declining years of life. He was n stalwart sou of toil , intelligent and manly , having enjoyed more than ordinary advantages during his boyhood days. Ills family name Is prominent in the political his tory of Minnesota. A brother at ono time oc cupied u high onichil position in that state , mid he discharged it-s duties with credit to him self , his party and his friends. Young Walters was of the class of men that Nebraska needed at that time. He was able to withstand the hardships and priva tions that must be endured in the settlement of u new country anywhere. Besides he was well educated and cnleuhitcd to direct wisely in those affairs that give u place or state a name and character. His wife , too , posses sed elements of womanhood that would have heen of inestimable value to any so- scial circle in which she might huvo located. Although she had been tenderly reared she \v.is brave , determined , willing to dnro and do for the babo1 that had eomo to bless the union consecrated in love at the mar riage altar less than 'two years before. No wonder then that they looked into the future hopefully. No wonder that they parted by tlio side of that coveix'd wagon "with smiles instead of tears. It was only to be for a lit tle time , Just long enough for the husband and father to homestead Itxj acres of Uncle Sum's broad acres iii'JclTerson or Thaycr comi ties , then ho was to come bade for wife nnd bahy and with them return to the land of his choice for the sublinio , purpose * f home-mak ing. Fate decided otherwise. Walters made his trip successfully. Ho found his Eldorado iji eastern Tluiyer county and on the morning of July ; t started on lii's return. At Fnirlmry he met Sam Pasco who , also , was bound for Xcnmlia county , and they decided to make the trip together for mutual protection. In some way "thoy received the impression that the Otoo Indians , whose reservation was located but a few miles tiway , were not altogether peace able , nnd they were somewhat afraid to make the journey alone. On the evening of July the two men camped at what was then nnd now known as the licntvlco watering place on the nine rivpr. They were engaged in cutting grass to feed their horses preparatory for the night when they were espied by an Indian , who crawled upon them with tlio stealth characteristic of his race , and while PaM'o was in the act of gathering up mi armful of the grass ho had cut shot him down. Walters assaulted the In dian with his scythe uml succeeded in indicting some severe wounds upon his head mid arms , but in turn succumbed to the un erring aim of the Indian's repeating rille. 13oth men were killed almost instantly. Wal ters was shot through the body and head , showing that the former wound was inflicted llrst and the latter to complete the work of death. On the day following the bodies of the two men were found , their teams fastened to the wagons and their pel-sons unmolested , evidencing that the deed had not been committed for the purpose of robbery. Suspicion twintcd to James White water , n half-breed Otoo Indian , who spoke very good English , and when not hi his cups , was considered ouo of the best of his trine. Ho was arrested by ex-Secretary of State S. J. Alexander , then sheriff of JeJt'orsoncninty , but succeeded in making his eseapo befoio leaving the reservation , mid after two or three days' diligent search for him , Alexander re turned to P.iirbnry without his prisoner. At the time them was great indignation among the iiooplo against the Otoes , for they believed they were secret ing the murderer. According to Andreas' history of the state , the Otocs anally became afraid nnd agreed to Ibid Whitewater and de liver him over to the hands of the law. This they had no great difllculty in doing , and with great display they took him into Fair- bury. Six mounted Indians rode ahead of a wagon in which the prisoner was seated be tween two warriors , and two on either side of it , on horses , followed by a largo number of the tribe as escort and spectators. The day is u momor.iblo ono in Fairbury's history. Jii those days news traveled much more slowly than now. Nearly three weeks passed away before Mrs. Walters heard of her bus- baud's terrible death. To jay that thosad in telligence prostrated her with grief docs not toll half of the story. H wrecked her. She lost her mind , in fact , became hopelessly in sane. Her Minnesota friends came after her and took her to the homoof her childhood , but the change did her no good. They were finally comi > cllcd to commit her to tlio insane iisylnm of that state , where she died two or three years later. A few days nfter the murder Whitewater was taken before Judge Purdy for u > preliminary hearing , but ho waived examination mid was bound over to nwait tlfo sitting of the district court. On his trial fpr lifo Judge. O. P. Ma- ) on , who now resides } \ \ this city , was on the lciicli. In his ovidcni-o Whitewater stated that a white man had killed Ids sister and that ho had sworn to kill two whlto men for revenge , mid these' two innocent mid un suspecting travelers , miles from homo and without' ' arms for belf-dufunso were his vic tims. L I It anneals from the testimony , however , : hat Whitewater was in a drunken frenzy when ho committed Iho terrible deed. On the morning of the nation's natal day of that yi-nr the Otoos returned from their great ' buffalo hunt , west i uml north of , lcfforsim j county , and passed through Fairlmry en route to the rusurvailtm mid Whitewater was among the number : Ho tarried in Fair- buiy mid got drunk , l uj. started home with a farmer who was goln' 'some ' di.stance in hit. I direction. When the farmer turned out of i his course ho started afcot across the prairie , I saw the men as Indicated and murdered them ' In cold blod. In its llndlng the Jury took White water's condition into account and found him guilty of murder In the second degree and the judge sentenced him to the state penitentiary for life. During the lust session of the state leglsla- tnro it will be remembered that u measure wss jiussetl mid becmno a law that might bo called a good tlmo act for convicts under life sentence. At leu.st It provide * that two con victs under sentence for life may bo pardoned and discharged bv the Iward of pardons each year after having served ten years or more of their sen tence , for good iKjhavior. This law flxob the time for the i > pardons on July l of each year , and it went into effect Just Iwforo that date in 1-vV.t. In casting uliout for Miitubu- subjects for clemency or suspension of sentence , the iMiunl divided that Whitewater hud eurwd liis liberty if uuy of the cunlii hud and ttu- order was given for his di clinrge. When told of the decision of the board he wiw hcaldo , himself with Joy. He laughed and shouted and crhnl alternately. | Shortly Ix-fore ho was liberated i I had a lone talk with him , mid i found him to bo n man of more than ordinary Intelllpeuee. He told mo thnt ho had read the bible through twice a ytoir on nn average during the seventeen years of his . sentence ho served. Indeed , ho gave mo ample evidence Of hLs knowledge of the l > ook ! Christians love so much to rend and study. I Ho could qttoto more scripture tliuii any 1 pivwher I ever know in my life. 'Warden Hopkins told me that he experienced religion two or three years after he wit committed to the pen , nnd that during his tlmo as the head of that Institution he never caused him a moment's trouble. In conversation with mo regarding the crime for which he was convicted nnd sen tenced , Whitewater said that ho never was conscious of It , mid that if he committed It he I was helplessly In his cups so far us consciousness - | ness of the crime is concerned. Whlto in the , iioiiltentlnry ho learned the laundry trade and I Is an expert. Dnrlnir the war he served three years in a Kansas regiment , was wounded nt the battleof Pen Hldge mid bears an honor able discharge.

Meyers of Detroit , architect of the ' county hospital building , is at the residence of Mr. John F. Coots , on South Tenth street. He was seen by n reporter last night , but de clined to bo interviewed. While going through the hospital building Saturday ho run against projection in ono of the subways nnd injured his head very severely. As a consequence , he was suffering with severe pain in the head and had been confined to the house all day. He declined to talk about the hospital , but stated , in reply to a question , that he knew nothing about any indictment , except whnt he had seen in the papers. lie also stated that uo OHO hud given any bonds for his ap pearance , nnd no such proceeding was neces sary. He hud been about the court house , ho said , nnd expected to be here , and if anything of that kind was going on lie should probably hear of it. Mr. Coots stilted that ho hud insisted on Mr. Meyers going to his house when ho saw that he was injured , and had driven him out there Saturday evening nfter they returned from the hospital building. Ho scouted the idea that Mr. Meyers was in hiding. Speaking of the hospital building , Mr. Coots said that ho and Mr. Shane were not prepared to make public their report on the contractor's bill for extras. They had gone over the entire bill , and had formulated their report , but they desired to submit it to to the mem bers of the board before making it public. "I wish the board of commissioners would extend an invitation to everybody to go out to the building mid examine it , " snid Mr. Coots. "I think such a course would do away with this foolish idea that the building is in danger of fulling down. I can show anyone ono n number of new buildings in Omaha which are not half as good as that building. The people have received n wrong impression and have an idea that the building is u perfect botch. Of course , I admit that some very poor work was done on it at first , and no one can dispute it. but tlio building is as linn us n rock and the inside work is u good Job. " Mr. Coots also stated thnt Mr. Meyers would go out to the hospital again today , if ho was able to do so. and continue his Inspec tion , but would not be able to complete it until the steam heating apparatus is all placed , us the commissioner ! ) desired him to pass upon that also. To do this will require some lime , as it will bo a week or so before this work is completed , so that a thorough test can bo made.

Mrs. niiiiKlioi-ty Almost Itroken llcart- Over Her llu-lMiiiil-s Downfall. "David Patterson" was the nmno given by net u bad looking man who was booked at the police station Saturday as n suspicions charac ter. He had been drinking heavily but was too sober when picked up on the street to be charged with drunkenness , so the old and common charge of suspicious character was put opposite his name. After his arrest Sergeant Wlialen happened to learn that ho had pawned a chest of car penters' tools nt Snydcr's throe ball shop on South Tenth street , and questioned him as to where ho got them. Ho said he was u carpenter uml thnt his landlady pushed him so hard for his rent that he hnil pawned his tools to get money to pay her. To prove that they were his ho pointed to the mime , "David Patterson , " painted on the chest. Yesterday morning a genteel appearing little lady called at the police station , said her name was Mrs. Danghcrty , and then with a look of mingled sorrow and bitter morti fication she nskcd If her husband was there. Glancing over the list of arrests Jailor Ilaney replied there was no ono there by the name of Duugherty. As the lady turned to go she happened to glance at a promiscuous lot of prisoners in n cell almost opposite the Inquiry desk , and us she did so she guvo a sudden start , and exclaimed , pointing toward the cell : ' There ho Is there's my husband. " And then the tears rolled thick nnd fast down the little woman's cheeks. Going over to the cell Jnilor Ilaney called out the name , D.uigherty , mid "David Pat terson" came to tlio burs , and it was his tlmo to shed tears. Then the prisoner broke down completely. Ho said that he had told Sergeant Whalon a lie from beginning to end. Ho hud been upon u prolonged spree , which wound up by his stealing the chest of tools from u building on-Leaven worth street and pawning them to obtain money to buy more drink.

During the punimer of IWt ! ) Kit Carson was the lormlmH of the Kansas Pacific railway. It was located in a newly or- ganixed county , then known as Green wood , just within the borders of the state , and leO miles east of Denver , writes a Denver correspondent of the New York World. It was a typical frontier railroad town , and was peopled by as lawless a gang of ruffians ns was over congrcgaled nt one spot on the plains. All the "bad men" who had followed up the line of the Kansas Pacilic were there , and their members were reinforced by many of the toughs who escaped the bullets of their oppo nents , or failed to fall into the hands of a vigilance committee on the line of the Union Pacilic , which had then been completed , it was also thestarting point for wagon trains for New Mexico and Arizona , whose "bull-whaekors" and "mule-skinners" could hold their own in almost any kind of a crowd and in any kind of a row. To control this cosmopolitan collection of hard characters Governor Hd. McCook had appointed Charlie Jennison , a short , stout , jovial follow , without any experi ence as an olllcer , but of known courage , as sheriff of Greenwood county. Jenni son chose as his deputy an army wagon master somewhat similar to himself in appearance , an active , wiry , nervy fel low who had earned a reputation for coolness and courage. The toughs who had concentrated at Kit Crn-Min sized up the two Colorado of- Hcitils and remarked that "if Governor McCook could not send two better men there than those little chaps they would run the town. " A few dnys passed without incident , but nt hist a row started in ono of the ninny dives which lined the main street of the town. A tall , heavy brute from j Kansas \va > pounding the life out of a | man , when the little deputy slier- | iit rushed in and lacing the fellow - t low said he would ttik him to tlio lock-up. The big man. who had two or or three murders to his credit , reached for his revolver. The deputy was too quick for him , for , drawing a heavy Coil's army pistol , he hit. the fellow a blow on top of his head which felled him j to the lloor. .lust at thai momenl Sher iff Jcnnison arrived , and the two otllccM-s dragged off their man and locked him up. That was Pat Desmond's first arrest in ( 'olorado. During that summer no town composed of such a population was over more more quiet or orderly. Desmond's lirst arrest ' had settle all d'ispule as to who was mas ter of the place. Lie was a genial , pleas ant fellow whose many qualities of coinage - ago anil manhood promised him nn honorable name among tho.-o who , as representatives of the majesty of the law , made themselves a terror" to evil doers. But such was not to lie Desmond's destiny , and on Saturday night last his career ended in blood in an Oyden dive , - , a victim of the revolver , which wonton | had plavctl o important a part in hi * evi'iilful carew. Patrick .1. Desmond was born In Ire hind In 1SH. In 1SU ( ho emigrated to America nnd lived in onslern cltlos for two yours , Ho was mixed up tit HID Fenian troubles of IStHt and was in the light nt Hldgoway. Ho then came west and was employed ns wagoifinnstor by the qunrtonnastor's department on the plain * until his Colorado career btgan at Kit Cm-son , as already narrated When Kit Carson ceased to be a mil- way termtnux , and Its population scat tered , Desmond entered the omplo.x of the Colorado Central railroad , and was in charge of a gang of men on construc tion work between this city nnd Gem-go- tOrt-n. He nlso opened a saloon at Golden , on the line of the road , and nlso nl Georgetown , and during this 11 mo ho is charged with having shot and hilled one of the Inborcrs , but of this there > I" no nctiinl record. Ilo evidently intended to locnto nt George town , but ho hnd developed an over bearing manner and , becoming unpopu lar , ho sold out and removed to Pueblo , which afterwards rcmnincd his homo At Pueblo ho served two terms ns city marshal , nnd again made himself a ter ror to the tough characters who hnd swarmed Into the town at that pei ted of its history. He also did work for a local detective association , and waa cspccinil.v successful In * bundling bad men nnd in following up thieves. The harder Iho man Desmond went nfter the grenli-r delight - light ho took in arresting htm. Ilo never fulled to bag his game , when once on the trail ; and when he Hashed a revolve1 r in the face of his man it meant immediate surrender or immediate denth. Itiis the eye of the desperado , however , nnd mil of an ollicer of Ihe Inw thnt glcamnl along the pointed revolver , for while ho represented the law and was always true to his commission , he was fast sinking personally to the level of the men ho was pursuing. When ho ceased to bo city marshal of Pueblo heopeited the celebrated ' 'Bucket of Blood'1 saloon , which soon became ono of the most notorious dives in Ihoeounlr.v. After Ogden , Utah , begun to boom Des mend wont there and opened a similar place , which also bci-anu * the terror of the community. Ilis reputation for handling a pistol , gained ns an oniccr , made people fearful of him. He was known to bo without fear and handy with a revolver , nnd the desperate role which he had assumed , made him chief among the''bad men" of tlio frontier. Ilo was oxaeling and overhearing , and when drunk insulting. Something over ii year ngo ho WIIH dnngi'i-onsly shot in Pueblo by n man whose enmity he hud gained , nnd who look him unawares and unprepared. After recovering from his wound ho .spout most of his time tit Ogdeu , where ho finally met a bravado's fa to. " Desmond's body was brought back to Pueblo and buried. Ho left an estate of about $70,000 to his wife. His fame ) ns a bad man had been greatly exaggerated , lie was not a murderer. Ho mtij him ) shot too quickly or imnecessaril.\ , when an olllivr , but no olllcor is safe in taking any chances with the men ho was in the habit of trailing and capturing , lie wns originally pos sessed of the belter instincts of human ity , but nssocialion will ) criminals and whisky gel the upper bund of his better nature , and ho went down to the bottom of the Socinl scale. Desmond's career WIIH n blasU-d ouo. Ho died the death of a desni-rado , and as a desperado ho will probably bo remem bered in the history of the wcM. Many nn olllcor , howovcr , luis " gone" to an honored grnvo whenever never posM-s ed his qualities of honrl or courage or bis iutoriiid purpose : many a desperate character mm diotl "with his boots on , " as Desmond did , who was much baser than ho.
