intendent of the Lincoln Hospital for. the
Insane , win on agitated caller. It appeared
tint George Smith , a patient In the hos
pital , had escaped and the doctor desired
the assistance of the police force In locating
him. VcJtcrday Mrs. Smith , George's
mother , called at the asylum and secured
permlralon to bring him Into town for din
ner. Soon after that repait George v.as
missing. The patient , n young man , Is In
reality a penitentiary convict , nnd was trans
ferred to tha asylum because his mind ap
peared to be affected. Ho attempted to
commit n burglary at the homo of R. S.
Hawley nnd waa struck over the head with
a stick of stove wood and captured by the
owner of the premises. Ho had been re
garded an a tough customer and has frequently -
, quently been In other scrapes quite as se
rious , Dr. Abbott said that If Smith would
got outside the ctatu ho would not ciro
much , but he was afraid that ho would
commit pome other depredations which
might result In something moro serious than
more escape from the afylum.
The case against Steward William Dech
and Deputy Warden J. 13. Jones was dlo-
mlssed In Justice court this morning. They
were charged several weeks ago with ma
licious destruction of property by Molllo
King , a keeper of a bagnio on the Lincoln
"reservation , " and the care was up before
Judge Walters of the police court. The de
fendants took a change of venue and the
court soaked them for $21 costs before he
permitted the case to go to Justice Mc-
CandlcKj. The complaining witness , the
King woman , after thinking the matter over ,
decided that ehe vas not In a position to
swear to the Identity of Dech and Jones ,
and , In fact , made un affidavit to that effect
this morning , In consequence of which the
justice dismissed the charge against the de
fendants.
There Is considerable excitement In Lin
coln over the result of the trial of the caw
of Kendall & Smith against the sanitary
district of the city of Lincoln , In which
the plaintiffs were awarded a verdict of
$61,000. The verdict was rendered In Saua-
ders county Saturday last. It was claimed
by the plaintiffs that so far ay a mill Is
concerned the action of the sanitary com
missioners In straightening Salt creek made
the property of Kendall & Smith utterly
worthless. The condemnatory board awarded
them $4,1)00 , but the proprietors of the 'mill
declared that sum was Inadequate and com
menced suit B3mo two years ago. Attorney
Wilson , who tried the capo for the city ,
expresses himself ua firm In the belief that
n now trial will bo granted and thlnko that
Judge Sedgwlck himself was surprised at
the amount of the verdict. There Is now
$1,500 , the amount of the condemnation
money , in the hands of the clerk of the
district court of Lancaster county. The re
mainder of the Judgment , $57,100 , will have
to bo raised by means of a 5 mill levy ,
which the act of the legislature empowers
the trustees to make each year.

vict labor , ranging from 30 to 45 cents per
day for each convict. After considerable dis
cussion the matter wao laid over until an

justed by an agreement to furnish the labor

BALTIMORE. Feb. 10. League politic
absorbed the attention of tha delegates t
tbo national convention of * the League o
American Wheelmen today to the utter ex
elusion of everything else. As n consequonc
the experimental "good roads" meeting wn
only a moderate cucccss In point Of attend
ance , although the mental pabulum wrvei
to these who httendeJ was of a high onler
Mayor Hooper was In consequence the vie
Urn of an unintentional affront upon the
part of the delegates , as his honor hai
been Invited to make n speech and nas
there at the appointed time with a nice
little address \\clcoino which was never
spoken bcc.iuso there was no ono proscn
to hear him save a low newspaper men
The mayor waited awhllo and then wen
away to attend. " to municipal affairs. At
apology nas made to him later In the day
and full official forgiveness accorded.
After the mayor's departure another ef
fort was made to got the delegates together
which , after two hours' hard work , was
successful. President Wllllson called the
meeting to order. He n.ilJ tt was the first
tlmo a "good roads" meeting was ever glvei
by tlio league and ho asserted that the prop
osltlon to set nsldo ono clay annually for
the discussion of good roads was one o
.tho best moves ever made by tlio league
He regretted , however , -that the attendance
was not better. He thought the attendants
on the assemblage should feel bound to at
tend this good roads convention and give
It their entire attention. As thd highways
committee and not the league proper was
In charge of the affairbe resigned the
chair to the chairman of the committee ,
Isaac B. Potter'of New York , the author
ofrtho "good roads day" amendment ,
Sir. Potter \vas greeted with applause
and after It had subsided ho addrealed the
meeting briefly. New York , ho said , had
twenty-seven vetoa and numerous proxies
and Intended to cast them for the city
which makes the best showings at this
session. Continuing , he said : "The attend
ance Is not as great as It should be , but
from my own experience , I know It Is
twice as great as was that nt the good
roads congress called by the United States
government and which was more widely
advertised than was this convention. The
delegates , however , represent 40,000 wheel
men , and what transpires bore will be moro
far reaching In Its effects than was the
action of the good roads convention referred
to. "
He then read letters of regret from Gov
ernor Levl P. Morton of Now York , Mayor
Jowett of Buffalo , the mayor of Albany , the
mayor of Newark , Mayor Taggart of In

was Introduced. , Ho said : "If I told you of
the work we h'ad done. It would .take but
a short tlmo , but If I tell you of what wo
have to do , I am afraid wo would never
get through. " Mr. Williams gave a history
at the birth of the , Good Roads league of
Maryland and the appointment of a legis
lative committee , of which ho was made
chairman. "Wo did considerable work , " he
eatd , "throughout the state , and the result
I consider both good and bad. Through our
work we roused up the opposition of the
politicians , and they have -been against us
wherever possible , but tbo agitation has at
length compelled those same politicians and
county commissioners to make slight con
cessions to public opinion , and we have the
pleasure of seeing a slight Improvement In
the general road system of the state. We
liavo now prepared a bill which we expect
to get before the legislature for Hie appoint
ment of a permanent road committee , to
overoae In general the road Improvements
: hroughout the state. An expert engineer
Is to bo made a member of the commission
and hla knowledge Is to bo put at the dis
posal of the county road commisaloners.
Wo expect a bright future for the move
ment In Maryland. "
D. P. Miller , chairman of the board of
commissioners of Alleghany county , deliv
ered a short addres ? , telling of the work
accomplished by his commission In western
Maryland. Ho approves of good roads , and
paid that If the farmers were enlightened
as to the benefits to bo derived from Im
proved highways all opposition ttyat now
oxlrto would be wiped away. .
Both President Wllllson and Mr. Sterling
Blllott delivered brief addresses and put
: henisclvcs firmly on tbo good roads plank.
The principal speaker at .tho afremoSn
icsslon was General Roystone of , the United

igo the farmers who are In hard luck byjuln-

FREMONT , Feb. 10. ( Speclal.-Tho ) offi
cers have thwarted another plan of the hog
thief gang tbTirfalt Jail. ' Saturday evening
Jailer Warnki overheard a conversation be
tween Wheeler and Mllledgo which led him
to believe tfiat'lfiere wes some plan afloat
to Rot out , lle'Tx't ' once placed the prisoners
In separate cell * ' and searched them thor
oughly. In B.itan Mllledge'ji shoe ho found
a piece of gas pipe about two Inches long ,
with a piece of cloth wound around It , so
fixed that Iteould bo useJ as a Hung shot.
The plan , ai1 : # ( as can be determined ,
was when Warnka came In Sunday morning
to let the prisoners Into the corridor for
their dally exorcise to lay him out with the
gas pipe , open the Inner corridor with hi
key , make the same signal at the oute
door an ho Is In the habit of making , an
when the door was opened make a brca
for liberty. The prisoners have all bee
placed In t''parate cells and will "bo closol
watched. U Is thought that some o
Wheeler's or Mllledgc's family smuggled 1
the gas pipe. .

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. Senor Homero ,
the Mexican minister here , says the Malior-
Fltzslminons fight will not take place In
Mexico , and significance Is lent to this
declaration by the fact that the minister was
In consultation with Secretary Olncy this
morning before making the statement. The
lines of the law. on both sides of the Hlo
Grande are drawing more and more closely
around the party of pugilists who are stand
ing on the border of the United States end
Mexico , and developments extremely unpleas
ant In the results to the sports may occur
at any moment. Senor Homero says that the
authorities of the Mexican state of Chihuahua
nro thoroughly In earnest In the determina
tion to stop the fight , and ho points out that
If the sports got across the line Into Mexico
they will bo subject to Immediate arrest. In
other words , It will not bo necessary for
Mexican officials to wait until nn effort Is
madd to fight actually , but having now satis
factory evidence that there Is a deliberate
Intention on the part of the pugilists to break
the law of Mexico , the legal officers of the
state of Chihuahua are now , under the Moxl-
can practice , at liberty to arrest every mem
ber of the party , Including the would-bo
spectators , who , by their presence , elvo en
couragement tostho Intended offense , Just as
sooil as they cross the boundary lino.
As for Now Mexican soil , It Is certain that
the territorial officials , \\lth the assurances
they have received from the federal govern
ment of the fullest measure of support In
their efforts , first to prevent the fight coming
oft thereon , and second to secure the pun-
Ishmcnt of all participants If It Is pulled
off , regardless of where they may seek
refuge In the United States , are now fully
able to meet any movement of the fighters.
in Texas , also , tlio way seems to lie closed
against the sports by the active stops taken
by Governor Culberson , who has assembled
the Texas rangers near the scene of rendez
vous , and It Is moreover reported here that
some surprising dsvelopmcnts may bo looked
for In that state that will discomfit the
pugilists. Whether this means that the gov
ernor will adopt the Mexican plan of raiding
the party before It actually commits an overt
act or not cannot bo determined at tills
dlstarce , but It Is surmised that he may
feel Justified In taking some such action
If ho Is assured of the purpose of the party
to violate the rigid Texas law against prize
fighting.
MEXICANS WILL SHUT THEM OUT.
In reference to the current rumor that an
attempt will be made to pull oft the fight on
some of the Islands of the Rio Grande , or
other lands , which cannot now be accurately
said to be either In Mexico or Texas , It Is
said hero that If In such case the Mexican
officials see- fit to assume Jurisdiction over
any such tract for the prevention of an act
n violation of the laws of both the United
States and Mexican governments , our gov
ernment will not bo disposed to make any
point against them.
Delegate Catron of New Mexico says the
managers of the fight will probably attempt
: o pull It off about four miles below El
Paso , where the Illo Grande cuts a point
of land on the Mexican side , which Is In
the state of Chihuahua and Is still Mexican
soil. President Diaz will probably take
steps to stop the fight there , as he would
have ample authority to 'do under the cir
cumstances.
AUSTIN , Tex. , Feb. 10. Governor Cul-
b ° reon In reply to Interrogatories on the
question "of the pugilist tournament at El
PJSO , says he has nothing to say on the
subject. Adjutant General Mabry and a
troop of Texan rangers are now a El Paso
under Governor Culbcrson's Instructions , and
laving every faith In their ability to pre
vent the fight on any land owned by Texas ,
the governor Is resting serenely. It Is un
derstood that two companies of state troops
'rom San Antonio post left there this morn
ing for El Paso to prcvcat the fight on any
so-called neutral ground. Governor Culberson
says there- will bo no fight on Texas soil
so long as there Is man left In the Texas
ranger force. He docs not think Stuart will
attempt to fight on Texas soil.

MEETING OF THE PUGILISTS.
EL PASO , Tex. , Feb. 10. Dan Stuart and
representatives of the pugilists to take part
n the big fight , held a meeting today 1n
ituart's office to arrange further details for
lie fight. Julian wanted an agreement that
ho official timekeeper should call off seconds
n the event of a knockdown. Connelly ,
Maher's representative , objected , and the
matter was finally dropped. It was agreed ,
lowcver , that the timekeeper should blow a
whistle as "get ready" signals five seconds
joforo tlio time for each round.
Captain McDonald , with half a dozen

There have been lively tlmea between Dan
Stuart , Martin Julian , Hob Fltzslmmons , the

a conference with Dan Stuart. The articles

bo hands of Sam Austin of Now York , the

aso the fight did not come off , Instead of
emandlng the full $10,000. Julian was In-
lined to let Stuart have his own way , but
ho conference ) broke up with all bands In an
gly mood and the question as to what the
gliterg would get were they not to fight rc-
nalned uneettlcd.
Later In the day Stuart notified the man
gers of the men that he would withdraw
Is request and the full $10,000 would bo

r not.
not.MAY
MAY DIIEAK UP THI3 FIGHT.
Another squabble has come up which
hreatens to break up the whole buslneie.
ullan this afternoon met E. Rector , the
Inetoicope representative here , and asked him
f he expected to photograph tlle "Bht. IKc-
or admitted that lie did.
Then Julian said ; "I will not alljw PUx-
slmmons to appear in the ring nor wilt he
appear unless the oompins glvc4 us $10,000
In cash. "
"I have nothing to do with you , * ' replied
Rector.
"My business Is with Stu.irt. 0to V.in. "
"It makes no difference who you have
business with , " retorted Julian. "I tell you ,
who arc representing the klnetoscopo , that
Fltzslmmons will not enter the ring nnd
permit the company to photograph his fight
ing until ho receives $10.000 cash and gets
It before he enters the ring. "
It stunned Stuart when Rector told of It ,
and made him so mad ho was on the point
of calling everything off. Ho hunted up
Julian nnd bad a long converrHlon with him.
What the outcome was Is not known , but
It Is believed Julian was Induced to recon
sider his demand. Ho and Fitzslmmons re
turned to Juarez late this afternoon.
FltJislmmons nearly tipwt Enoch Rector ,
the klnetoscopo man , today by declaring
himself In on the klnctopcopo enterprise and
saying that he wanted $10,000 In advance for
hla slisro of the good thing.
In a card to bo published tomorrow Bat
Mastotson says : "At least one of the fights
arranged will bo pulled off successfully the
ono between I.lnhor and Fltzelmmono , and
there Is an even chance for ono or moro of
the Dniallcr fights to bo heldr"
Continuing , Mastorson says that "all this
commotion has been stirred up because two
men are going to box with five ounce gloves
seemu to mo 16 bq utterly ridiculous. When
the senate and house of representatives of
thla great country can find nothing better to
do than to make laws prohibiting boxing
contests In the territories It Is high tlmo
something was done. "

K 1,1/1 S WAIID TO COACH PEXXSY.
FnmoiiH Old OnrNiiinii la Ilnvc Charge
of the 'Vanity Crew.
PHILADELPHIA , Feb. 10. The nctlve
training of the candidates for the 'varsity
crow of the University of Pennsylvania was
begun this morning' under the direction of
Ellis Ward , who has Just been engaged as
coach. The contract with Ward has been
made for one year , with the privilege-
extension. The announcement that he hnd
been engaged as coach caused a , great deal
of favornblo comment nmong the under
graduates us well as alumni. It Is thought
that he Is the ono man who can develop n
crew that will bo worthy to rank along-side
of the foot ball teams that have been
turned out In recent years by the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania.
Ellis Ward Is one of the 'best known oars-
rnan In the world today , ills record Is hn
excellent ono. He was stroke of 'the once
famous Ward brothers' crew , of which five
were brothers , tlio sixth member being a
man by the name of Graham. This crew at
tained International reputation , defeating
almost every crew with which It rowed. Ills
work with Pennsylvania crews has been
very successful. Ho coached the lied nnd
Blue crews from 1879 to 1S91 , with one ex
ception 1SS7. During the time Pennsylvania
crews were under his instruction they won
forty-six races , being second In fourteen nnd
six times broke nil previous records. Of thp
fourteen times that Pennsylvania rowed
second she forced the victors to lower the
record cnch time. Of his later successes ,
last year's record of the Bohemian Rowing
club Is considered remarkable. This crew
won eight straight victories , the crowning
ono beingat Saratoga In the national re
gatta. _

SAN FRANCISCO , Feb. 10. Advices from
Honolulu to a local paper say lliat unless
Secretary Olnoy apologizes for the actions
of Minister Willis Hint official may be glvon
his passports soon.
The trouble nil grow out of an Invltntlon
Issued by the Hawaiian foreign onico to the
diplomatic corps to participate In tlio na-
tlonnl holiday of January 17 , the anniversary
of the overthrow of the monarchy. Willis
refused to tnko part In the celebration on
the ground that President Cleveland did not
approve of the manner In which the mon
archy was overthrown.
Jull&n Hnynos , editor of the Hawaiian , a
monthly magazine published In Honolulu ,
nrrlveJ hero on the steamship Australia. Ho !
takes a very pessimistic view of the present
government of Hawaii , and says the Japancso
are becoming so numerous there and w
firmly rooted that the Islands are In danger
or becoming mere outposts of Japan.
The thirty gentlemen who , In 1893 , stood
as godfathers to the Infant republic anil who '
find themselves at the beginning of 1800 the
only support of Hawaii's provisional gov-
eminent , nro most uneasy. I nay 'provisional
government' because that Is all It Is as yet.
nio titter failure of the effort to reconcile J
the native Hnuallans to dlsfranchlsement , , I I
the sudden aggressive action of the Japanese ' I
residents , and the Independent stand taken /J
by Chinese agriculturists , the situation la /J
anything but comfortable.
"The government la llko a business house
threatened by bankruptcy. The crisis may
bo delayed , but not for long. Thuro Is a
monthly deficit of $40,000 , and the people
nro rapidly losing fnlth In the power of the
men at the helm. "
Mr. Hayncs has not been much Impressed
by the mercy of President Dole and his as
sociates.
"Tho newspaper con-.monts In Europe and
In the united States show a grave misappre
hension of the facts and the magnanimity
of the ! ruler of Hawaii , " ho obasrved. "Tho
so-called release and pardon of political
prisoners , for Instance. The truth Is that
no pardons at all hnvo been granted. Some
thing similar to the British tlckct-of-leavo
system has been brought Into play. All the
political prisoners arc at largo , having been
discharged In four squads , the first getting
out of Jail July 4 , 1833. and the last Januaty
1 , 1890. - Dut the oligarch ) " attorney general
Informed a prisoner at the time of his release
that he might , without notice or without
warrant , bo arrested at the pleasure of the
executive. I quote the words as nearly as I
can remember thorn.
"I consider the case of the queen like
wise. She , too , was 'pardoned , ' but she Is
nevertheless as much a prisoner at her
homo as she was before , so much mercy was
shown to her. And to Indicate the spirit that
animates the 'thirty tyrants' It should bo
added that they have made Wilson her
custodian the man who they slanderously
claim was her paramour In the days of
her power , and have spared no pains to have
circulated throughout the world that , having
obtained her full liberty of action , she- Im
mediately and voluntarily relapsed Into her
old-time shameful practices. "
Turning to the Chinese-Japanese question
the editor declared the problem confronting
Hawaii to bo of the gravest character. "It
things keep on as they are going , " ho said ,
"thero can bo but one ending absorption of
the Islands by Japan. "
Who wins In the
race ? Is it a sick'man ?
Is it a man who is
weak ? Is it a man
whose blood is impure ?
An athlete trains for
every race. The best
athletes train all the
time. They arc always
in pel feet condition.
It is pretty safe to say
that tlic best man will
always win. The man
who is strong and in
the best condition will
surely distance his
competitors.
In the race for suc
cess , the best man will
win if he takes care of
himself. He cannot
win if he neglects his
physical condition. It
doesn't make any dif
ference how smart he
is. If his body isn't
strong , he will never
finish the race. He must look first for a
clear , healthy , strong body , because the
body makes and supports the brain. If tbo
heart pumps impure blood into the brain ,
you cannot expect the man to be clear
headed , you cannot expect hint to accom
plish much. If a man's blood is pure and
rich , there can not be much the matter with
him. If it isn't pure and rich , he may have
almost any disease under the sun , and Dr.
Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery will
cure it. It doesn't make any difference
what form the disease takes , or by what
name it is called. Nearly all diseases
spring from impure blood. If you make
the blood pure , you remove the cause and
cure the disease. That's common sense
and medical sense and scientific sense.
