About Orplmn * ' Homos.
Colonel Alexander Homeland occupied the
pulpit of the First Presbyterian church last
evening and spoke for some time on the sub
ject of orphans' homes. As the "newsboys
friend , " ho has had ample opportunity to ex
amine into the subject deeply , and some of
the statements ho made with reference to
the methods of running such institutions
were considerable at variance with thousual
way people have or thinklnf. He made It
his boast that ho nac never , in all of his
work among destitute children , taken one of
them to nn orphans' homo , although ho had
taken "a good many of them away from such
places and put them in good families. Ho
had found homes for 400 In this way
during the hist four years. He thought
orphans' homes should bo no larger than
families of thousual size anywhete from
seven lo ten members and in reply to the
question of how long a child should stay
there , he said , "not overnight If you can lind
any place ese for it to stay. The manage
ments of these establishments have no richt
to herd the little ones together until they
Iiccomo diseased iu both body and soul. "
He told of a nlatron of a "home" in Kansas
City who objected to hnvltur real homes
found for the waifs under hpr charge , on the
ground that it would leave her out of a job ,
and ho thought this the principal reason
why homes for the friendless were con
stantly growing in size.
"If you have an orphans' homo among
you , " ho said , in n tone which was under
stood by every ono present , "I'll agree to
IIlid homes , and good ones , too , for every Inmate -
mate insldo of sixty cloys. If the manauciB
of thcso places put thcmselrcs in a wrong
position they must expect to be criticised. "
At the close of the meeting Colonel Hoge-
laud brought before tlio audience a woman
and her two llttlo children , whom she was
unable to support. Ono was a girl , 10 years
old. and the other a boy , several years her
junior. Insidoof fifteen minutes the little
girl had been taken by Mr. and Mrs. She-
ward , two of the members of the congrega
tion , and had started for home with her now

A commltloo was appointed by the city
council ut Its last meeting to have : i con
ference with thu ofttcluls of the Oninhn
Jlrldpe anil Terminal Ualhvay company for
tlio purpose ot seeing if tin aurec-metit can
not be reached with reference lo the cxtcn-
ttotiof the compnny's charter for nnothor
two Jears. It was the Intention of the com
pany to have the committee go to Omaha
to consult , but the committee , thinning that
It was the other fellows who should do the
running back and forth , sent It word of
the fact and asked It to set a time for
the meeting on this sldo of the river , iS'oth-
Inir hns been hen it ) since , although
several days have ulapsod , ntul thu nprco-
ment seems to ba no nearer than It was on
the day after the council mooting.
'I he nrtirlo In Tin : BBB a day or two nco ,
Invlilch n business man of this city hinted
that possibly the company was not acting In
good faith , but was party to u "dear1 with
the Council HlufTs and Omaha Bridge com
pany , by which the charter. If extended ,
misht be transferred to the old company in
case the latter should wake up some ( hie
morning to lind that II was operatim , '
without a charter , struok a responsive chord
in more than one man's breast. Almost
uver.vwhere seems to bo the opinion Unit the
company should by all means have its
charter extended in case it I'oula bo proved
blncero hi its desire to build : i motor line be
tween Council Bluffs and Hist Omaha.
There Is no doubt that a motor line of this
sort would bo nn Immense bcneiil to the
city , and everyone would bo uUd to see It
built. But when it comes to allow ing a com
pany to get favors underhandculy , which
would never in the world bo granted to it
directly , the people of Council Bluffs draw
Incline.
It lias been suggested that the terminal
might be required to give the city u bond to
insure the building of the line as now
promised. If this company really means to
out in a new line , and is acting in good fnlth ,
it cannot object to giving the city sotno
tangible assurance of Its sincerity , and when
that is done there Is little likelihood n ( the
city refusing to trant M favors that arc
reasonable.

Have an ICscurt Home.
The railway oniclals at the Union Pacific
transfer found a man walking aboul the
platform yesterday afternoon , who displayed
some of the symptonib of insanity. He an
nounced , with a great many manifestations
of fear , that there was a conspiracy on hand
to kill him. He was on his way from Tacoma -
coma , Wash. , to his homo InMaulstee , Mich. ,
where he has a largo milling establishment. .
It was so very apparent that hM uppsr Uory'
was nut Just right that ho was taken to the
pollen station in order to llnd out just what
would better bo done with hit ? .
At iho station lie gave his name as Peter
Bncber. and said that ho had been to Tacoma -
coma for thu purpose of settling up an
estate. While there lie learned of the plot to
kill him , and gave himself up to the police
for protection. On the train he had been
constantly tormented with the fear that
something terrible was about to happen to
him. Ho had about , SUM In his pocket , and
thought that the object of the conspiracy
was robbery. Ho wiis afraid lo go on his
way alone and offered to pay the expenses of
an bftlecr who would go with him lo see that
he arrived at his home In safety. Chief
Scanlan decided to take his offer , turn the
two starled for Michigan lasl evening ,
On most subjects the unfortunate man
Bccmed to be as rational as any ono , but i
when ho commenced to talk about hio money
his reason forsook htm and he rambled in his
conversation in it way that showed beyond
all doutlt that his brain was affected. It was
thought by the police that posslb'y lie might
have been drugeed and an attempt made to
rob him , and that the effects of this unpleas
ant experience might not have worn away.

"I don't ' take la as much money la the
course of a day now as I used to by a long
shot , " was ttio remark of a motor conductor
yesterday In response to a question put to
him by one of the patrons of the line , U is
needless to add that he did not know he was
talking for puolicalion , "It was not very
long ago that my train running between
Council Bluffs and Oaiaha nvcr4ed 133 a
day tbo year around. Hut that time is past ,
and my dally average uo\v U not to exceed
"
"What U the reason for the'falling offf"
was risked of him. >
"Quo reason U tue fact thai to many
traveling men have been taken off the road

the wholesalers are running short handed

"Another reason which the conductor
might have urged , " remarked a gentleman
who had listened to the conversation , ' 'Is In
the fact that the motor company is trying to
charge lUceuts woith of money for5cents
worth of ride. The pooule of Council Bluff's
are not crossing the river as much as they
did two or three years ago ; In ISW ) for In
stance , when the travel over the line was bet
ter by far than It hns over been since. Ihciill
iccmcdns tnoujjh 10 cents was a remarably
low price for a trio across the river , because
wo hail always been pnvir.p a quarter or a
half for far worse facilities. The news
papers have educated the people up to the
idea thai ft cent * Is enough to charge , and
the result. Is that people are looking at a
dime twice before they turh It ovinto a
company that they think is robbing them.
The company will have to net In. accordance
with public sentiment sooner or later , anil
the sooner It llnd it out the fewer dollars
it u ill ba out of Its pockets. "

GO-HEX , Ind. , Kov. 20. The flrU section
of Xo. CO , the fast msat cxpross between
Chicago and New York , pulled Into this city
last night with eight desperate robbers on
hoard. Between i.ero and Klkhart they had
nindu repe.Ued eftoits to imcoiiplo a number
of oars , with , it is believed , the Idea of
wrecking the fast express which passes hero
close behind the meat train.
No. (10 ( passed out of Klkhart at 12:30 : this
morning. When H had left Klkhart a mile
bahind the train craw , which consisted of
Conductor Hickok and iwo hraUemun , found
thai clcht men were on Hie train , having
concealed themselves between the cars. The
fellows tried to uncouple the ten last ears of
the train , but tliolr efforts were foiled after
a hard flirlit. The crow , however , were not
able to drive the men off. Five miles further
on another attempt was made to uncouple
the cars nnd another lignt ensued , which
lasted until the train pulled into Goshen.
Hickok and one of the brakcineii were tiadly
uutlerc'd in the tight. The engineer blow his
whistle for help , ami in a , few mitiuics two
onlcers and a crowd of men reached Ihe
train , but the robbers had inudo their
escape , taking with 4hom three watches and
a small sum of money , which ( .hey . had taken
from the trainmen.
Later in the nicht two men named /Am-
meuium and Cone , who had some of the
stolen money on them , were arrested. Xim-
mcrman claims to live in ICendallvllle , Ind. ,
and Cone in Benton Harbor , Mich. The
contradictory stories tok1 by the former , all
of which have proven false , practically is
cnougn to convict him. It is believed by the
Lake Shore oflicials that the men intended
to leave the uncoupled cars standing ou the
track to wreck the express train and then
plunder it
President INewell of the Like Shoretoday
offered n reward ot $4,000 for the capture
and conviction of the eight men or $500 for
the capture of any of them.
The express train which the robbers tried
to wreck is the same train which was robbed
at Kesler , Ind. , last September.

lllSUIl" .
SEYMOt'H , Ind. , Nov.3. . Xews is just re
ceived of a quadruple murder , followed by
suicide , from Carothersville , a small village
near here. John Foster , a wealthy but er
ratic farmer of Unlontown , In a lit of tem
porary insanity Saturday killed his wife and
three chlldrei. with a revolver and then brew
out his own brains. Foster hns always been
regarded as a little weak-minded and queer.
Several years aeo he and his wife separated.
Uecently a reconciliation was , effected and
Foster returned to his family. There was
uo direct evidence , but the position of the
bodies snows that she was the first to meet
her fate. She was shot through the tnek of
the head. The children were found dead in
the next room , and from their position had
evidently been aroused frira peaceful slum
bers by the shot that killed their mother.
The oldest child , a boy. was found with his
hands clasped as if in the attitude of prayer.
He was shot through the head , as were the
other two children ] The'father , after tak
ing the life of his little ones , returned to the
dead body of his wife , and , placing the pistol
to his head , completed his fiendish work.

It was somewhat dlsa eablo for ghosts
to vcnlurq out last ijl ht , even had each
ethereal wanderer from the spirit world ,
been clad In a mackintosh and goloshes.
Fog and drizzle , however , inspired no ter
ror in the hearts of about 103 of Omaha people
ple who assembled at Washington hall to
sec "f plrltliallstlo phenomena. " There were
many ladies In the audience.
For several days past Prof. Charles Ffilin-
ton of I.ortdon and Prof. C. Frank Kincrson
of Melbourne , under the management of a
heavy-weight "diplomat" from Minneapolis ,
named li. IX Smith , have advertised that
they would give a test of "great spiritual
istic powers" last evening at the above
n a in oil place.
They made public statements that "dur
ing their seance , materialization of forms ,
hands amf faces would take place , tables
lloat hi air , talks with spiritual friends would
bo had , deceased f rlonds would bo described , "
the iminuger to refund the admission fee.
The trouble commenced about 0 o'clock.
Tho'audience had patiently sat through the
program up to that hour amid whisperings of
"humbuggory , " "fraud , " etc. The usual
formality of selecting "acommittee from the
audience" was gone through with. Dr. H.
H. .Tatiscn , .lames Wilson and II. Schoan-
lleld were chosen to represent the audience ,
which they did In an excellent manner , Mr.
Schocnllcld being largely instrumental in
unmasking the fraud.
Spirit ! "ralltcil 'llironcli Their lint * . "
Prof. Kmerson then started the wheels by
working that superauuatcd trick known ns
"voices from the spirit world , " in the.forinof
names written on slips of paper , deposited In
a hat by members of the audience. A "spir
itual" handkerchief was placed over the hat
and then the suit-its told Kmerson the names.
Out ot the llfty names plucen in the hat
he 'only repeated eight , and it was
clearly evident that ho got the wrong
tip from some spirit when lie
gave a name that could nut bo found in the
hat by the committee. The professor was
somewhat ombarrr.sseJ by the break. The
manager rushed to his rescue , however ,
and , in response 10 a question irom ino
audience , smilingly said that "they really
had no explanation to make" as to how this
"spiritualistic phenomena" occurred.
Judge Eller , who occupied a front suit ,
arose and stated that he had placed the name
of Abraham Lincoln in thq hat and the com
mittee then discovered that two slins con
taining the name of the martyred president ,
were in the mysterious tile. A general
laugh followed theannouucement. Thespirits
had evidently " 'luffed the ballot" or else
two Lincoln enthusiasts in the audience hud
their minds in the same channel when they
slipped the nnnio into thoMiat.
Conimittepman Sohoentield about this
time began to detect the odor of a very large-
sized mouso. So did the-uudlenee. Kmerson
retired to the wiurs.\Viiie"his ! partner , Prof.
Kglinton , endeavored- pacify the crowd
ttith somu "tricks , " as he termed them. He
was candid enough to admit that ho had no
communication with .spiritland either by
telephone or mental telegraphy. Prof. Em
erson posscsssd all the ' spiritualistic"
power , ' cto. Tlio young man front London
gave an exhibition slate writing and
mind reading. He g ° \ rntjlod once , however ,
in his arithmetic , but the heavy manager
brushed aside a clould of'impending gloom ,
with a stairc smile that partially checked the
growing indignation df l\\\i \ \ people.
Acquaintance Win I.iniltod.
Prof. Emerson appt'ai- In his second turn
in which ho walked down the aisle among
the audience and announced-that ho would
now talk with -'deceased friends" of persons
in the audience. He did not go into a trance
to accomplish this , but rubbed his hand over
his forehead , twirled his spectacles and after
closing his eyes a few moments called the
spirit's name. Some one in the audience would
quickly catch the cue and the professor
would then plunge into spiritual biographies.
After flvo tests of this kind the medium
started for the stage , when he was inter
rupted by cills from other members of the
audience who also wanted to hear from their
friends in the spirit world The professor's
acquaintance with the spiiits was evidently
limited , because he turned a deaf car to all
entreaties and retired hahind the scenes.
Cries of "fraud" rang through the hall , tatid
II. Neble , editor of the Daulsh Pioneer , ad
vanced to the stage and denounced the en
tertainment as a rank falto. His senti
ments wore applauded.
Emerson rushed out from behind the
scenes and offered to Dot Neblo 5100 that ho
could prove to the contrary. Neble did
not weaken , but promptly accepted the offer ,
much to the surprise of the "medium , " who
fumbled around his clothes , but could not
find the "century" to back up his bluff.
"Go ahead anyway" shouted Neblu , "I
defy you to exercise spiritual powur over
mo , or even bring mo a mcssairc from any
of my dead friends. "
This nettled the professor and he ad
vanced before the audience with Noble to

was a wild rush of indicnant citizens for the

but could not do so.
Manager Smith was also surrounded by
people who demanded that he refund

POUT TOWSSKSU , Nov. 25. Advices re

"Dodo , " which Is said to bo the "latest
London sensation" r.nd Is palled by the
author a "Detail of Today , " Is 'not as elab
orate an affair as "Iho Heavenly Twins" eras
as great a book la any respect. Mr. M. F.
Benson , the son of the archbishop of Can
terbury , has made a hit , probably more on
account of the alleged fact that the heroine
is from real life than from any merit which
the book has from n literary or any other
standpoint. Of course It Is bright and fas
cinating as the "Dodo" Is herself , but that
is all. The satire Is strong and the Influence
of this woman over all the men who happen
to know her is something marvelous. One
would think they would get tired of It after
awhile.
The men in the book are good fellows ami
seem to bo men of ordinary intelligence on
all subjects but one Dodo. The author evi
dently has some conception of what a gen
tleman should hi : , but when he nrakcs of
common decency a heroic quality it is strain-
lug the point too line. Jaok Is too good a
man to run oft with his cousin's wife ,
although ho makes love to her seven days
In Iho weak , and when her husband Dually
discovers the state of affairs and asks him
If ho < * an still claim to bo his friend , Jack
replies In a relieved tone of voico. "I thauk
nod. I can , " just because ho had the grace
to decline to elope with the woman xvhom
ho has persuaded to ask him to do so. Some
men would have gone on" about their busi
ness after a woman refused to marry them
and have let her nlono. His incumbent on
a gentleman to wash his hands , but there is
no iiso to write a book about it.
The women in the book who rotate round
the central light arc of no interest. One Is
n musical genius who must have certain
things to oat or she cannot compose , onu Is
said to bo very brainy and is exhibited by a
man who Is supposed to have "discovered"
her In a style that Is rather ludicrous in a
small way , and the only woman In the book
who exhibits thn least womanliness is ut
terly without tact , ono might almost say
without common sense. Are real generous
hearted , sympathetic women always unin
teresting and insipid f Mr. Benson would
have us believe so.
But all the interest In the book lies In the
woman called Dodo a name which just
suits her. A woman with one article to her
creed , "I must have lots of money , a bl ?
must and a big lots , " who has ono rule by
which she decides what gives her pleasure.
A thing to be of value must bo unattainable.
For instance , when her husband dies and
begs her to marry his cousin unl rival , with
whom she. has been in love all along , sue
loses interest In him , as there is no reason in
the world whv she should not marry him.
When her only child dies she is determined
to dance all night because it is supposed to
be improper for a mother to attend a great
ball inside of three weeks after such au
event. And dance she does. From the be
ginning of the book to the end she never be
trays one womanly characteristic , is never in
earnest or sensible. She is unutterably silly ,
selfish and cruel.
Just what aim or intention the author had
in mind in presenting such a spectacle for
women and men to contemplate is beyond
imagining. Ho certainly never intended it
as an object lesson , since he has all the good
men for miles around worship her and ap
pear blind to her faults or to forgive them ,
because she is Dodo. Mr. Benson appears
to have as little respect for his own sex as
ho has for womankind.

Marion Crawford's "Marion Darcho" lucks
none of the dramatic force for which the
author is so well known , although the de
nouement is rathsr tame. The style is easy
and graceful , but as the story "ends right"
it will bo enjoyed by the readers of fiction ,
who like to believe that some men ( in
books ) will do anything for a woman's sake.
The man who tried to be a hero did a good
deal In this one , and strange to suy the
woman seemed to appreciate it. McMillan

cided to cxhumo the remains from the pot-

the body was not buried at all. Certain m-
llucntial citizens , however , declared they
would proceed to the prosecution of the worlc
themselves before the grand jury and have
retained prominent counsel for this pur-
Dose. The coroner's Jury yesterday re

the matter. Witnesses before the corouoi-'s
