The Omaha Wheel club pedaled down to
Glonwood last Sunday , a big crowd turning
out. The club spent the day In the pleas
antly situated little burg , returning in the

Club runs have lost none of their old-tlmo
attractiveness for the Omaha cyclists , to
Judge from the number who turn out on club
tours. May they never cease to bo A feature
of club life.
Nelson , the Grand Island boy who won the
Pullman nt Chicago on Decoration day Is
well known at Omaha , ho is the lad who
made such n creditable showing at the York
tournament in 1391.
B. J. Scannoll of the Omaha Wheel club is
wearing a gentle reminder of last Sunday's
run in the shape of n badly cut face , his
wheel breaking and throwing him headlong
while descending a hill.
The Tourist Wheelmen have been adding
to their library , having purchased a eoni-
nloto set of the Encyclopedia Britannlca.
The books , twouty-flvo volumes In number ,
add materially to the literature of tholr
pleasant reading room.
Eight of the Intorocoan Wheelmen of Sioux

Next to Fireman Morris was ft stranger In

and his residence as Horautou , I'A. Connolly
was merely n spectator and was standing at
the front of the walliaMde ) the flro lines
when the building folljUo was taken out of
the ruins and convoyed tpitho Jail In the Ira-
provtsod ambulance. Connolly was conscious
whllo his wounus wore being dressed but
after this ho sunk Into a sleep and it is
doubtful If ho will recover.
C. C. miingham , driver for Second As
sistant Chief Barnes. was struck on the head
by-falling bricks and broken glass and will
bo laid up for some tlmo. Ho was taken to
police headquarters and his injuries ilrcssod
by the city physician.
George Coulter , the superintendent of the
flro and police alarm service , was the fourth
man brought in. Coulter had been caught
In the failing walls In the front of Ed
Mauror's building and was completely
buried In the ruins. A rumour was Imme
diately spread that Mr. Coulter was , dead
and the firemen wont to work
with a will and dag their comrade
out. When Coulter arrived at the Jail
ho was examined by > lr .Loo and others and
the opinion was expressed that the patient
would live , as the injuries consisted mostly
of bruises on the head and body. Up to 3
o'clock this morning Mr. Coulter was unccn *
sclous , but the doctors in attendance claim
that ho will pull through.
The police At headquarters did everything
In their power to aid the physicians in their
care of the Injured men ,
Operator Hengcu'a ICijiorlonao.
James Hongon , oi\o of the operators in the
flro and police alarm gives a graohlc des
cription of the manner m which the bravo
firemen mot their death. lie was an eye
witness aid at the sauio time had a very
narrow escape himself.
Hengen had Just boon relieved by the
night operator ns the alarm was turned In
and ho at ouco started for the flro. lor a
few mlnutos ho stood around watching the
progress of the flames and then walked to
the roar end of the Merchants' National
bank and up the alloy to the back end of the
Shlvorick building. At that time the flames
were Just breaking through the roof and a
moment later they wore reaching toward the
sky. Just then n squad of flretnon wore
ordered up the alloy to play a stream upon
the walls of the burning building and in
order to secure a bettor position the men
cllmbod to the roof of the Maurer building ,
whore they stood for some time.
Hongcn was standing upon the roof of the
Maurer building , watohinir the progress of
the flames as they crept from iloor to floor.
Without warning , the top of the brick wall
commenced to swuy and topple. Hcngcn
called to the llrcmon and started to run , but
had moved scarcely a dozen feet before the
brick and mortar came tumbling down and
burled the inon beneath the ruins. The
young operator was struck by the brick and
debris , knocked down and buried , but by a
fortunate accident his coat caught on a
beam , which held him suspended iu midair ,
where ho hung until ho rescued himself and
slid down a telephone ! n'oJo , reaching the
ground in safety , with the exception of a
few scratches and slight bruises. When
the crash came Captain Cox was close to the
wall of the falling building , directing his men
and telling them whe'rp tlvoy could do the
most effective service1. ,
Mayor Horn Is' Words' nml PcciH.
Immediately after ho gpncral alarm was
turned In Mayor Boriils went out into the
storm and stood uusinterosted spectator ,
offering words of encouragqment to the fire
men. When ho learned tlmt aomo of the
men wore injured hoawcut to the station.
where ho remained intil , the last wounded
man was brought in , and cared for , assisting
in washing the injured mon and holding
bandages , After thnt.h , . > , < } returned to the
scene of the fire , where , pick' In hand , ho
burrowed into the debris , helping to lind the
bodies of the dead. a. \ -
Cherished Hopes Illagted.
The fatalities of the conflagration wore
attended by some exceptionally pathetic in
cidents. Pipamen Ouray of No. 7 , who was
Hilled by the falling of the rear wall of the
Shlverick building , was engaged to bo mar-
rlea , and his wedding day was fixed for
Wednesday of this week. Instead of being
a happy brlao the girl of his choice will be a
mourner on her wedding day.
Dan Morris , another member of the
7's , who fell with Ouray , had only been
at work for a day or two after a three
weeks vacation. His 2-year-old boy had
been very sick and his death was hourly
expected. Morris took a lay-oft to watch at
his bedside and the little sufferer had been
nursed back to health. Morris had arranged
to send the wife and child out into the
country tomorrow , and yesterday several
times expressed his gratitude that his Doy
had been spared to him and was hoping that
the trip into the country would complete his
restoration to health.
Itosculnc a Co.iirudo.
Prominent among the instances of personal
bravery noticed during the flro was the dar
ing effort which culminated In the rescue of
Georffo Coulter from the ruins of the Mauror
building , whcro lip had been buried under
tons vclght of debris. Ho was " lying a little
back from the west door of the restaurant ,
and the front wall of the building had been
partly overturned and overhung the en
trance. It was liable to fall at any moment ,
but notwithstanding the imminent danger ,
half a dozen firemen sprang forward to free
him ,
They were digging away at the debris at
the base of the wall and at every stroke of
the axes the danger of being buried under
its ruins increased. But they did not hesi
tate , . It required nearly un hour to get him
free and the firemen worked like Trojans
seemingly unmindful of the fact that each
moment might botheir last. Toward the
last the wall trembled and it seemed that
the fall could bo delayed but a moment
longer. Citizens who wcro standing near
implored the llrcmen to comu away before
the catastrophe occurred , but they refused
to listen , One of thorn shouted that they
would never leave their comrade to perish
and the others bent with added energy to
thol" work. Five 'minutes after they fell
back but they carried Coulter with them and
the spectators who had been almost holding
their breath as the men worked In the face
of a horrible death could hardly repress a
cheer of exultation notwithstanding the
burden the firemen bore.
Bpurka from the Kunis ,
Just before the west wall of the Shlverick
building foil there were six waiters and bur-
tondora ut work In Ed Muurer's restaurant
all unconscious of t ) > o terrible futo that
menaced thorn. "Spud" Farrlsh , secretary
of the chief of thorltrp department , was
standing in front of tljb.buiUltng and saw
the wall begin to tremble.1' ' Ho dashed into
the building and oxhbrtol'tlio waiters to fly
for their lives , Tlioyiaboffed and had only
iniulo tlioir exit whcU tin ? Maurer building
was burled under a in ami i of brick and tim
ber. Mr , Farrisli was ! tha last to leave and
narrowly escaped losing hia Ufa in his efforts
to save the otoupuntsiof / building.
When the now Halo Mratcr tower on its
trucks was brought raimlly down Farnam
street it was halted witttvajchorus of deafen-
Ingchcers. It was tho'.flrst time the -tower
had boon brought out to n flro. Kvorybody
was anxious to see ita-worl ; . It did effective
service. It was sinttyned , In the center of
Farnnm street , diruetlyj In front of the
Shlvorick building. Wjur lines of hose were
run up the tower. Thunlitatiins u era brought
to play upon the BecQndihird and fourth
stories and the roof , ana were well directed.
The fact that the telephone wires were
rendered inoperative by the storm , made it
almost impossible to secure the services of
physicians for tholnjured men. Mayor liemls
ami other citizens rushed to neighboring tel
ephones to summon surgeons as soon as it
was reported that fatalities had occurred ,
but in most cases wcro unable to obtain con
nections. Sergeant Wtmlen of the police
force despatched a number of officers in different
"
ferent directions" to scciJro doctors.
The build ing occupied as a restaurant by
Ed Maurer was' valued at'SOuo. The first
floor was occupied by th'o saloon and restaur
ant and the second floor was divided by a
partition in the middle. The west half rtraa
occupied by Mr. Maurer as a residence and
the other side was used , ua a ladies' dining
room. As soou as it was apparent
that the building would bq destroyed Mr
Mauror moved Ills family to tbo Mlllard
hotel , where they will remain until o'thei
arrangements cau bo made. Mr. Maurci
places his loss on stock at from 113,000 to
f 15,000 , on which ho 1ms nn innuraneo
. \mountlng to 111,000. His furniture , which
was totally destroyed , was Included hi the
estimate.
The Shlvcrick building was erected In 1870
and cost In the neighborhood of J.10,000. It
is owned by Smith Ilros. of this city.

CHICAGO , 111. , Juno 3. Herman Schaffnor
&Co. , private bankers , have made an assign
ment. The firm Is the largest private concern -
corn In Cbioago or the northwest dealing ex
clusively in commercial paper. The firm is
also about the oldest of Its kind In Chicago.
No statement , of the bank's falluro was
filed with the application for n receiver.
The assignment was made to the American
Trust and Savings bank. The cashier of
that Institution , on visiting the suspended
institution's quarters this morning , found a
large , demonstrative crowd around the
closed doors. To add to the excitement It
was rumored that Schaffnor had committed
suicide.
Investigation developed the fact that the
assignment was the direct result of the dis
appearance of Herman Schaffnor , the Junior
member of the firm , it Is said the bank has
been In straits for some days and that its
difficulties have preyed very heavily on
Schaffnor's mind. Ho loft the bank .Vcstor-
day afternoon and has not been soon since ,
though diligent search has been made for
him. His friends say mental aberration is
not known in hls'famlly and ' they fear his
distress has unbalanced his mind and that
some mishap has befallen him. The police
have boon notified to keep a sharp lookout
for him.
His partner , A. G. Becker , Is so overcome
by the train of ills that ho has taken sick
and is now confined to his bod.
A representative of the assignee says the
cause of the failure was too much com
mercial paper. In this line the firm was the
largest In the country , handling $3Ti,000,000
worth last year. There has been little mar
ket for it since tight money came. It will
take some time to make up a statement of
assets and liabilities.
Cntight hy Kocont Failures.
It is said the firm was caught by several
recent failures for sums ranging from ? IOO- ,
001) ) down. It is' further said the bank , when
in need of money , pledged commercial notes
as collateral for advances from other
lanks. There Is also a theory
hat Sehaffnor was caught In the
occnt great slump in valups on the local
itock exchanges. The attorney for the bank
HIS made a statement in which ho says It is
jxpected the suspension will bo only tempo-
raryaud it was mndo only because of Schaff-
icr's disappearance , which was likely to
: auso distrust. The linn dealt in mortgages ,
which it sold on their merits without en-
lorsomcnt , and is therefore not liable on It.
No bank In the country will lese anything ,
and ho fools sure the firm will pay in lull.

MILWAUKEE , Wis. , Juno 3. There was a
un on the Commercial bank hero yesterday
and when the doors closed there' was still a
one ; line of depositors anxious to draw out
, heir money. The run was confined almost
exclusively to patrons of the savings de
partment and from the very beginning the
bank enforced Its rule roqulr-
ng a thirty-day notice on all
deuosits over $100. Two policemen wcro
sent to the bank , and a line formed. The
news of thoTun quickly spread and the line
grew longer each hour , ns the depositors ar
rived faster tlmu the teller could record the
notices of withdrawal. Business men gen
erally deposited with the bank as though
nothing had happened and a number of deposits -
posits were made by public-spirited citizens
to inspire confidence. The savings depositors
in line merely looked pityingly at the people
and kept their places. They wanted their
: nonoy , and did not care who was putting
uiouoy in the bank ; they wanted theirs out.
It was no test of the bank's condition , owing
to the fact that the rule requiring a notice
of wltlidrawal was enforced. The trial will
take place thirty days from now.

Mr. Day's nominal assets iaro placed at

his largo private fortune will bo utterly

DnciTUn , 111. , Juno 3. The mob which
gathered yesterday on the arrival here of
the negro captured near Sullivan , 111. ,
charged wit hasaultlng Mrs. West and Mrs ,
Hub Dill last Monday near Mount /.Ion ,
forced Its way Into Jail at 3 o'clock this
morning , took the ravlshor out , and lynched
him. No resistance was made to the mob ,
Owing to the throats of lynching earlier
In the day an extra pollco fore of twelve
mon had been put insldo the Jail and another
force outside. A scout sent out to Mount
Eton early in the night reported everything
quiet and fears of trouble had been about
given up , though 500 curious people 'Stood
around the Jail all nlgnt , unwilling to miss the
chance of a sensation. About 3 o'clock
twouty-flvo armed men marched to the Jail
In a solid body and demanded admission.
This was refused and the wooden outsldo
door was at once battered down with sledge
hammers , whllo the crowd looked on without
protest.
Once insldo the lynchcrs demanded the
keys , which the guardsdcclared they did nol
have. Tno lynchcrs at once sot to work on
the Iron door with a cold chisel and opened
It In twenty minutes. Then oamo the slool
door , which resisted another twenty minutes.
Had Thing * Their UITII Way.
Meantime a great crowd of citizens had
jathorod outsldo and looked ton. The city
imrshal appeared , forced his way insldo ,
but was kicked m the stomach by the lynch
crs and hustled out , after which ho also sub
sided ,
Finally the lynchcrs reached the cell of
the negro , whoso name was Sago Bush.
They put n leather strap around his
neck and took him to a telegraph post
under the glare of an electric light and gave
him ton minutes to pray ,
Then they swung him up and dropped him
and finally put him on the top of a hack , tied
the strap to the cross arm of the post and
drove the hack from under him. He was
pronounced dead in two minutes by doctor ?
who appeared on the sccno and noted the
ebbing of the wretch's lifo. Ho protested
his innocence to the last.
Thou the Mob Wont Homo.
As soon as his death was assured the
Mount /Ann mob loft for home. The men
were no masks and made no attempt to con
ceal their identity. Among the number
we're : William West , husband of the
woman outraged by the negro Tuesday ,
and llolla Dill , brother of the woman out
raged Monday. From all the circumstances
It seems measurably certain that Bush was
guilty of both assaults. The most remark
able feature of the whole affair seems to ba
that twenty-five men could march into n
town of over 20,000 inhabitants , and , without
even u. show of resistance , batter down the
doors of the jail and hang _ a human being.
There was much indignation among the
better class of citizens when they got up this
morning and found the negro Bush had been
hung on one of the principal streets. Much
more indignation was aroused when it was
discovered that the undertaker had placed
the body on exhibition in his snow window.
He was soon compelled to remove it. This
afternoon it was taken out and buried at the
poor farm.
This afternoon States Attorney Mills re
ceived a. message from Governor Altgelil und
went to Springfield for a conference which
preceded the proclamation from the gov
ernor as mentioned in the Springfield dis
patch. A young colored attorney has issued
a call for an indignation mooting of colored

Meetings will bo hold by .those mlno
leaders at all the camps in this district for
the election of delegates to a state conven
tion about Juno UO , to order a strike at all
the mines In the stato. This will add not

Mr. James M. Woods , formerly of Nebraska
braska City , Neb. , and now a leading banko1
rancher residing at Rapid City , tolls nv
that the cost of rearing horses on his horsi
ranch Is merely nominal. The market
for horses is not favorable , but In splto ot
the pheuoniinally low prices prevailing , tlu
business pays good return's. This success
ful financier manages not only banks nnc
stock ranches , but he owns a 2,000-acro farn
near Rapid City where ho makes good mone.v
from grain. Ho is a typo of the successful
Hills' man. Though not a miner ho ha ?
made money every year iu other enterprises ;
and his confidence in the future of tin.
country Is unshaken by the depression ol
today. - j

Ono cannot help being impressed with the
undeveloped resources of this great region.
The climate varies a good deal with the ele
vation and topography of the country , but l
generally agreeable. The productions have
the wide range of the North Temperate zone
Tbo ueoplo are intelligent , energetic and
enterprising. The ICluhorn Valley and <
other railways afford transportation' '
facilities necessary to a proper de- ;
vclopnient of the country. The ;
Black Hills , to my mind , needs but three ,
things to enable it to startle thd world wlth
Its progress , viz : Capital to develop the I
poor men's mines , advertising to attract j
farmers to the rich farming regions , whew \
homesteads are still available , and a com. j
ploto system of valley irrigation. Witlj
these assured , the railways , which have
pressed , pionoer-liko , into an unprofitable )
country , vyill reap the harvest their outor-
priso has earned.
Amohg the cities of the Hills Deadwood
remains the commercial center , though riot
growing at present. Rapid City is dull'but
prepossessing and still confident she will bo
to the Hill country what Denver is to Cole
rado. Hot Springs is the pleasure and
health resort , growing rapidly und con-
lidently , but not booming. Lead City
is the creature of ( ho Homcstako and polls
moro votes than any other city in the Hills ,
yho is a vigorous infant and the busiest of
the sisterhood of cities. Sturgis is quiet ,
but/healthy and beautiful for situation. Hill
City depends upon the tin mines ; Custor is
waiting for the general advancement of the
country. SpcartUh is the center
of a magnificent agricultural region
and the seat ot the State Normal school.
Central City is gasping for breath , trying to
recover from the blow dealt to her pros-i
pority by the suspension of work on the Da
Smot mino. Llttlo can bo said of the other
villages except that nothing particular Is
doiiur anywhere to encourage the town lot
speculator.
Itnplil City' * Prospotta.
Rapid City ought to bo the largest town ink ;
this section. Standing where the hills ndAj ]
plains meet she la the natural exchange "SV

stantially built upon a lovely site , slio may
have presumed too much upon bur
natural advantages nnd gone too fava.
for the present In supplementing * '
them , but there is a good basis * '
of hope ami expectation upon which to bulltdl ,
for the future. Two railways partly prow

of her citUcns , but thus far they have no1 ,
convinced heavy capltallsto that they uri
right. Ono looks to the Missouri river

ing out almost hopelessly for hol | [

Is backed by W. T. Good , tin enterprising
ritizon. whoso faith In his town ought to hi ,
rewarded munificently. Ho Is building to ,
Mystio thirty-two miles west on the B. & , M. , <
and in spite of almost insuperable obstruc
tions has put down six miles of us
good railroad as can bo found in-
tlio statu and is slowly moving 011
to his goal. His line is n sensible"
ono from almost every standpoint. It will
pass through a picturesque mountain region ,
and us a tourist line will bo attractive It

section and ought to earn money hauling

It also opens to Rapid City the only
remaining lartfo body of tim
ber in the Black Hills. Finally
it communlcatos between two competing
lines and completes tlio H.vstom of railway
transportation for tbo region. If thu J'iorro
or Aberdeen line across the Indian resorva-
lion shall now liu added to the combination ,
Rapid City will grow Into something tnoro
than an ovor-booiuod village , Rapid City Is
all ritrht. Tlmo will vindicate the faith of
her enterprising ultlzoua , If Time is not un
