to The Bee. ) Tne Items from Chicago with
reference to the notorious Frank Joy Dock ,
who Is wanted In different parts of the
United States for various crimes , recalls
instances In the minds ot the people here
with reference to his traits and peculiarities
Dock was night operator at this place for
the Elkhorn when arrested for forgery and
embezzlement by that company. He was a
very competent operator , and his unusual
Intelligence attracted attention. Just a day
or so before he was arrested he stopped
In at a Judge's office and listened to the
preliminary hearing ot some boys for stealIng -
Ing , and after the trial he made an oft-
hand talk on criminal wrong doing , closing
with the query , wondering what could pos
sess a man that he would commit an act
that would take away his liberty. Ills
remarks were so Innocently pure and earn
est that they were commented upon by
those present , but more so the day after
when ho was before the same court for a
more serious offense , and later when the
news came that ho was wanted In different
parts of the United States by both state
and federal authorities for devious crimes

he be shot on sight. On July 20 he killed
his own mother , who Is the full sister of
Chief Moses , and the old chief Is grief-
stricken
Particulars of the crime have not been re
ceived. Osukln's hands were died with
family blood before he killed his mother.
Last December he slew his own brother , the
favorite nephew of Mcscs and designated
heir to the chieftainship of the tribes.
Princes ot the blood being few Mosett was
loath to see Osakln hanged for his previous
crime and used his Inlluance to save the mur
derer , pleading tlmt the two were engaged In
a drunken quarrel and that both were equally
to blame. Osakln was cleared and was
looked upon as Chief Motes' successor The
Indian police and reservation authorities are
looking for the murderer , but It Is feared he
may escape across the Canadian border and

The proprietors of the Boston store havi

LINCOLN , July 28. ( Special to The Bee. )
The Bureau of Labor recently mailed
a blank to each postolllco In the state ad
dressed to the village or city clerk , asking
for answers to the following- questions :
How many saloons In your city or vil
lage ?
What amount of license does each saloon
pay per year ?
EIo\cn hundred and forty blanks wore
sent out to as many different touns and
673 repllep wore returned. Out of this
number 151 clerks reported "no saloons , "
leaving 222 towns reporting a total of 850
saloons paying license fees ranging from
$25 to $1,500 per year , and aggregating the
sum of $700,950. Of this amount eighty
saloons paid $13,880 occupation and muni
cipal , which amount , however , is included
in the ubovo total.
Omaha and Lincoln , the two largest cities
in the state , with a combined population
Of about 200,000 , collect $209,000 from 209
saloons annually , the average license fee
the state over , Including special tax on sn-
locns , Imposed by ordinance , as given
above , Is $818.80. Of course , the con
sumer pays the license , as well as
all other expenses , including the proprie
tor's profits. A rough estimate of the
total receipts of the average saloon for the
year necessary to cover known expenses , in
eluding license fee and all other expense1 * ,
is certainly not less than $1,000. Eight
hundred and fifty-six saloons at $ I 000 per
year each makes $3,421,000 , or $3.23 for
o\ory man , woman and child constituting
