H , Dackmoyor , chief clerk at the gen eral offices of the motor company , reported to the pollen yesterday morning that he had linen held up by footpads at 10 o'clock on Saturday night. The hold-up occurred un der the shade trees In front ot thu Washing ton avenue school building. Backmeycr suc ceeded In landing a knockout blow on the chin of ono of the footpads and escaped. Mr. Itackmeyer mode n social call nt the home ot Mrs. Kurtz at 209 Washington nve- mio. Shortly after 10 o'clock ho left the houae. Under the shadows of the trees ho encountered three persons. Ono of them wan a tnll man and the others were appar ently n couple ot boys. They permitted Backmcypr to pass , but an Instant after the larger one of the three seized him by the shoulder and ordered him to turn over any thing of value he might have nbout him. Backmoyer led from the shoulder and caught the fellow squarely on the point of thu chin. The chance punch proved a knockout. The footpad went down with such force that the last bit ot consciousness wns knocked out of him when his bend hit the brick pavement. Backmeyer did not follow up his advantage , but ran back to the residence ot Mrs. Kurtz. A number of the young people who were spending tlic evening were still there , among them Frank Elgan , Backmeycr told about the assault , and his torn clothes- gave the story em phasis. In the brief scuffle his collar had been torn oft , his necktie lost and his attlru generally given n serious shaking up. Elgnn and others went Immediately to where the assault had taken place , but the footpad and his comrades were gone. A battered slouoli hat was found where the fellow had fallen. This was taken In charge and eventually sent to the police station. It Is regarded ns a pretty good clue to the identity of the thugs. Mr. Uackmeycr has visited the Kurtz res idence a number of times and on one or two occasions he has had reason to believe that ho was selected as an easy mark for a hold up. The presence of the two boys and the unprofessional method of making the attack convinces him that It was the work of local amateurs. Two attempts have been made within the last few nights to rob the residence of Mrs. Kurtz , and i-ach time the attempt was so bungllngly made that It was evidently the work of novices. A week ago Friday night a rear window was removed whllo the fam ily was In the front part of the house. The back part of the house was dark and the thief after completing arrangements for a raid went to the front to make another Bur- vey. The sight of an ugly face peering into ono of the front windows startled one of the guests. A quick dasn was made from the front door and the fellow was captured , but permitted to go after he had made an explanation of his presence there. The de scription given of this fellow fits Back- meycr's thug , and the police feel pretty well satisfied that they will soon have an ambitious amateur criminal In custody. lUCYCI.ISTS WAXT IMtOTECTIO.V. Will AHC nil OrillnniioR TlirnivIiiK' CJliiHM oil the Stri-c < N. There Is a concerted movement ou foot among the bicycle riders and owners In Council Bluffs to secure some sort of protec tion for their wheels. A habit has grown upon people until it has become fixed and universal to dispose ot superfluous bottles , tacks , nails , bits of Iron and other things that are capable of developing sharp points by throwing them Into the streets. Occa sionally a good horse Is ruined or killed by wounds Inflicted by these articles , but those accidents have not been sufficiently numerous to attract the attention of any other people than the humanitarians , and for years there has been nothing to create a public sentiment against such practices but the general one that condemns untidiness. The advent of the pneumatic tired bicycle has Increased the number of those who condemn the habit by the addition of a couple of thousand men and women , but until within a year they have not thought of any other means of preventing It than doing a llttlo missionary work. The action of tbo city council last season ordering the city assessor to return all bicy cles for taxation , has put auothcr phase upon the situation. Bicycle riders who pay a spe cial lax for thn privilege ot owning and rid ing their wheels feel that they are entitled to the same degree of protection that Is ac corded other people. H Is estimated that there are 1,000 bicycles In the city which are ridden constantly through the streets. A fair average price for these wheels would bo $50 apiece. This makes the handsome sum of $50,000 Invested in wheels In the city alone , and several hundred more brought In frequently by visitors. Every time a man throws anything Into thu street liable to In jure the steel steed , he Is putting that amount of property into Jeopardy. If ob structions were placed in the streets liable to break an axle or take a wheel off a buggy or upset a ' carriage and endanger the lives or limbs of 'tho occupants there would bo no question but tthat the person responsible would bo arrested and punished. A broken bottle or brick Is about as iscrlous and dan gerous an obstruction to the bicycle as a sawlog would be to a carriage , The wheel men argue that If the owners of carriages can demand protection from such obstruc tions as sawlogs , the wheel riders can de mand the same protection against smaller objects equally dangerous to them. Taking this view of the situation , they have determined to ask the city council to pass an ordinance making It a misdemeanor to throw anything into the street that would _ endanger the wheel or the rider. At the j i ; start such an ordinance might bo difficult ot i enforcement , but It would not bo long until j careless people would realize that It was safer to carry such things to the ash pile. The wheelmen will demand It as a. right , and It Is not unlikely that the council will accede to their demands aa soon as made. Millinery Monday.

Federal officers , especially postofficc Inspectors specters , arc deeply Interested In the gen eral promulgation of n new system of re wards for the detection , arrest or convic tion of postofflcc robbers. The order is of recent oilgln and Is not generally known among city or county peace officers. The government , whllo pursuing those who com mit crimes ngnlnst It with the most re lentless persistency , has been chary of of- fcilng suitable rewards to police officers and others for the arrest of offenders. The Inducements to catch a postoffice robber have ncvci4 been as great as those offered by the counties for the arrest of n good horse thief. Postofilce Inspector Mercer has been par ticularly active In making known the fact that the government has changed Its sys tem nnd Is now offering very large rewards for the nrroit of po .tal thieves. Mercer's attention was called a few days ago to a case In Omaha where the detectives had ar rested two men who had a large quantity of postage stamps In their possession which were undoubtedly the proceeds of a post- office robbery somewhere. They let the men go and thereby surrendered a good claim upon the government for $100 reward. The rewards now offered by the government nrc graded ns follows : 1. Ono thousand dollars for the arrest nud conviction of any person In any United States court , ou the charge ot robbing the malls whllo being convoyed In any mall car attached to n rnllwny train. 2. Klvo hundred dollars for the arrest and conviction of any person In any United States court on the charge of robbing the malls other thnrr n railway. 3. Two hundred dollars for the arrest and conviction of any person In any United States court on the charge attempting to rob the malls being conveyed over any post route. 4. For the arrest and conviction ot any poison In any United States court , ou the charge of breaking Into a postoffice and stealing therefrom , or ot robbing a post- office or ot larceny from a poatoffice ; $50 In each case wherein the amount stolen Is $30 or less ; $100 In each case wherein the amount stolen Is over * 50 and under $103 ; $150 In each cas wherein the amount stolen Is moro than $100 nnd less than $ . " 00 ; $200 In each case wherein the amount stolen ex ceeds $500. In all cases wherein a safe In a postoffice Is broken open $200 will bo paid regardless of the amount stolen or whether or not anything be stolen. In all cases where the larceny of mall matter Is effected , whether containing valuable inclosurcs or not , J100 w'U bo paid. 5. $200 foi 'he arrest and conviction ot any mallcarrlcr on any star route on the charge of embezzlement or larceny of mall matter or valuable thing contained thereto. C. $200 for the arrest and conviction of any person In any United States court on the charge of larceny of .mall matter or of any valuable thing contained therein while In the custody ot any mall messenger , being conveyed to or from a railroad depot , or of the robbery of or larceny from the mall while remaining nt any depot awaiting transfer. The larceny from street letter-boxes or from boxes rented In a postoffico or from any public receptacle for mall matter will bo regarded under this offer of reward ns of the same effect as the larceny from a post office proper. The postmaster or any of his subordinates at any postoffice wherea burglary or any larceny may occur Is barred from receiving any of the above rewards for the arrest and conviction of any party on the charge of stealing from or robbing such postofflce. No claim for any of the above rewards ' will be crtertnined by the Treasury department - , ment unless presented within six months from the date ot conviction. No reward will be paid for the conviction of any ono for simply breaking Into a poatofUco with the Intent to steal ; conviction must be for breaking into nnd stealing or for stealing except where a safe Is broken open.

Mr. Grasou had been enjoying ordinarily good health and was not complaining any yesterday. Ho had eaten a hearty dinner and had arisen from the table , when he staggered across the room and finally fell across the bed In an adjoining bedroom. When his wife reached his side ho was un conscious. Neighbors were called and phy sicians sent for. The first physician reached the house within a few minutes , but death had been awlfter than he. He pronounced It a case of apoplexy of the heart , and death had resulted almost Instantaneously.

A full ] sized machine , relates the New York Sun , Is now being constructed In this city , under the Inventor's supervision , and ho expects j that It will be flnlaheil and rundy for trial | In about two montliH. Although the expert- I incuts with the model were made a year ! ago , Mr. Kroymann decided to keep them secret until ho should have filed , plans of I his Invention In the patent ofllces of Europe ' and America. This was not done "until last week , and no description of the machine has heretofore been published. Srealtlng broadly , Frcjmann'a machine Is a return to the principles upon which lu- vontors have generally worked before Ilcrr Otto Utlcnthal of Berlin cut away from them two or three years ago , and contrived a machine by means of which he succeeded In llyliiE , or rather In soaring , oycr consider , tblo instances. I.lllentlinl postponed for fu ture development the application of motive I power , and contented himself with an aero- i plane , capable merely of sustaining him for ( a tltno , while the soaring depended upon the force of gravitation on one hand and the force of the wind on the other. LMllcn- thal always sored against the wind , whllo 1'roymann says that with his machine It will be possible to fly both with the wind and against It. The most vital defect of Lll- Icnthal'a aeroplane was the difficulty of accurately calculating the down ward soar and the point at which the machine would reach iho earth. Llllenthal cot many bruises and swains In alighting , and waS finally killed , a few .weeks ago , In the course of his experiments. Krc > - irmnu contends that his mauhlno will overcome come- this defect , and one of the means by which he hopes to bring this about Is amore moro perfect arrangement for changing the pluno of the wings. Llllenthalmanaged the alteration of plane by throwlng-'tho weight of his body to the front or the rear end of his machine. When approaching the earth at too sharp a grade he threw his weight bad ; , thus tilting the forward end of the aero plane upward. The force of the wind raised the machine and made his ultimate decent more gradual. By this means alone Llllen thal succeeded frequently In rising to a plane as high as that from which ho started , or even higher. It will bfr recalled that In starting It was necessary for him. to launch himself from a high hill. Freymahn's ma- chlno will be fitted with a lover-'by ' means of which the tilt of the wings ! may be changed accurately and praflually as the emergency requires. Another novnl feature iof his machine is a bicycle irrhngement. one of the functinnn of which Is'to ' assist In starting and in alighting/ " > / TUB INVENTOR'S t'fcA $ . ' Froymann's plan Is in sthrji from the or dinary ground level. The bicycle. Is ridden alop.s for n , short distance , and , jxljon a cer tain degrco nf'.jspeed is .atlalncij the air pressure opens 'tho. wings amV-the , machine begins , fo rise from the cartl > . The wing mechanism being worked also..l y the bi cycle pedals. Thus Kreymann'smachlne dif fers from Llllenthal's in heliiK fitted , fqr motive power , , , to bo .supplied iby.i the legs. The hands nre left free .to manipulate two lovers , ono which rcgulat4Hhp.illlt od.the wings ami another which orwratieft.ft tall , or. rudder , fixed In'a-vertical plamttbehlnd./ > Freymani' is a Russian , abouMS years old ; and he has been studying the nylng machine problem for nearly fifteen years. Ho was born In Mltau. Livonia' , and studied' mechani cal engineering In Germany. While at the university ho studied , the literature of the subject and went ovpr carefullythe , plans of other 'inventors. lie also examined many models of nying'ftiachlnc's'and studied their defects. Soon"'after , graduating he went to work as an engineer In tli'c. cdnstructlon of railroads In Hnsl.i , and for'twelve , years ho has been developing his idea of a nylng ma chine , subject to the Interruptions caused by hlg professional duties. The plans for Frcymann's machine provide for eight wings , four ou each side. They are ro be concavo-convex , the form which nearly all recent Inventors have agreed upon as es sential. They come to a point v/herc they Join the body of the machine , and at the ex tremity arc broad and rounded. ' They are to bo of silk , stretched on a frame'of light steel or of willow , and stoutly braced on the con vex side to prevent them from breaking or being turned Inside out by the. pressure of the air. The motion of the wings' is based upon that of an eagle's. Mr. Freymann Is a sportsman , and he studied 'this motion whllo stationed In Asia Minor. The tips of the wings , all of which worlc-together , de scribe an ellipse. As they go forward they move upward slightly , at an angle supposed to give just enough sustaining power to keep the machine going ahead on a level. As the wings drop back they close together some what , and then they spread open to the full again as they rise on the next round. This Is Mr. Freymann's theory , at all events , and ho says It will work out In practice. TI1K WING TIIROIIY. After Freymann had evolved his wing theory he went to Germany and watched Llllcnthars experiments. Ho found a num ber of defects In the aeroplane , which he determined to correct. LIHenthal's weight was placed high up between the wings , and this made It possible for the wind to tip It about and even to blow It over from the front , the back , or ono of the sides. Mr. Freymann expects to get around this by having his center of gravity considerably below the spread of the wings. This , he thinks , will steady the machine , and the same purpose will be served by the openings between the wings. It may bo said In sup port of the latter theory that Hargrave , the Australian experimenter with cellular kites , demonstrated that the stability of a kite In a high wind Is Increased by perforation , pcrmlttlng-part of thu wind to , pass through , Mr , Freymann proposes to take , further ad vantage of this theory by having his wings BO arranged that they may' be closed to gether In pairs In a high wind , practically reducing the number of wing's o four and leaving a much wider ipacq , petwcun for the passage of the air. ' * , ' „ „ Another flaw that Freylijann found In Llllcntlial's apparatus lay In. .the fact that his arms were not free ofdtlicliwlngs. and this aa well as the other IsPto.-be corrected by lowering the seat of the .pperator. Froymann'e plans , except , sq far as dimen sions wuro concerned , wcm fully worked out whllo he was In MoadojvllaSl year. He proceeded to build a email model with a view bgth to testing the ipractlcablllty of the machine and to ascertain. ! ) ! , ? ' the spread of wings necessary to sujipgr t a given weight. The wings were built ot oiled paper and were each about n yard square , The mechanism was the" * me as shown in his present plans , except that the bl- cycle wheels were left off and the mochnn- Ism was worked by means of n electric motor instead of by pedals. The motor generated 1-20 horse power. The model was eo arranged that the machine should rise but a short distance nnd then should pro ceed practically on a level. The motor and mechanism weighed four pounds , and Mr. Krcymann found by experiment that the wings would support nine pounds additional. Having completed his model , Mr , Froy- matin , took It out to a IPVP ! district near Moscow , where ho could be unobserved , and , aiming It against a light wind , started tno motor. He sa > s that It rose to A height of forty-flvc feet and flew for about a mile between thirty and forty-five Icct above mo earth. Then , the wind Increasing , thu wing were tilted up In front and the machine \wi driven back and down to the earth. It flight , ho says , was as rapid as that ot a dove. BUILDING THE MACHINE. Mr. Freymann based his calculations upoi his experiments with the model and pre pared working plans for a machine of dl nit'.iflnns adapted to supporting a weight o 210 pounds , in addition to that of the nn. chltie Itself , which will be eighty-live pounds. He decided to build the machine In America , because ho believed that he wouli nnd here more Intelligent mechanics , and n this expectation , he Hays , ho has not beci disappointed , Mr. Freytnnnn says that his machine , In addition to being lilted for motive powci will have a much greater spread of wings than Llllcnthal's , nnd consequently a greatc supporting power. LIHenthal's wings , he says , were each fifteen square meters In ex tent , and his will be fifty-tour , or nbou sixty square yards. The wings will measure thirty feet from tip to tip. Mr. Frnymann says ( hat. according to lite calculation , the same amount ot power ru quired to run a bicycle at an ordinary speed and the same number ot pedal revolution will suntaln his machine and propel I against n moderate wind at the rate of flf teen miles nn hour. He believes that n speed of fifty miles will be attainable under suit able conditions. In flying before the wlrn ho says no pedal motion will bo necessary except from time to time to keep from de scending. The wind , he believes , will cam the machine along at a high rate ot speed It will proceed In a scries of swoops , simi lar to those made by Llllenthal's aeroplane In soaring against the wind. Mr. Frey mann says It will not bo possible to fiy will the wind on cither side. It will work only against the wind or with It directly behind Under these conditions great difficulty Is to be expected In turning around , but Mr Freymann believes It can bo nccompllshei by shortening sail , so to speak , and by a proper manipulation ot the rudder , provld Ing the wind la not too strong. Aeronauts have a theory , which Is pretty generally ac cepted , that above the winds which blow over the surface of the earth there Is a region of comparative calm , and perhaps Mr. Freyitann will go up Into this district when he wants to turn around. The mechanism of the machine Is com paratively simple. The wings arc movcc forward and upward and then downward and backward by means of steel rods con nected with two wheels which are revolve < together by chains running from the pedals The lever which Is grasped by the right hand Is connected by steel wires with tut overhead structure , part of which Is mova ble In such a manner as to change the general - oral plane of tin ? wings. The lever graspei by the left hand Is connected In a simi lar manner with the rudder. The entire muc-hanlsm Is under the control of these three things. Gravitation and the wind are expected to do the rest. The expense of building the trial ma chines will be about * 00. In quantities they should bo manufactured for $200 or $300 apiece , so that If the machine Is suc cessful , 'there Is no reason why any wcll- rcgulntiM ] family should bo without one. ALLIANCE !

Sept. 20. .To t'bo Editor ? / , Thq Beey'In The Dally Bee. is | an edi torial on' "Tho Turkish Muddle. " You characterize an alliance between Great Britain and the United States , suggested In an English paper , as "absurd. " Permit moo say that I not only do not consider such an alliance as absurd , but rather as probable , tiay as Inevitable. How long will Christian civilization continue to hide be hind traditional policy International law , socalled , and self-complaisant sentimental flumpery ? How long shall we continue partlceps crlmlnls , and that , too , In the greatest crime of the ago ? Our traditional policy of noninterference has doubtless been a eooil ono In the past , but wo hive al ready thrown It to the winds on several occasions , not so much because there Is a growing sentiment against It , but rather because the trend of events has compelled up < o ilo so. The cry of Armenia Is loud enough and her cause meritorious enough to rouse all Christendom , but there Is a far greater Issue concealed In this question than that merelj of what shall become of a handful of Armenians , though let It be said that the appeal that goes up to the throne of the Most High , "Let my people go , " will not go unheard by Him Who governs In the affairs of men. The one great overshadow ing Issue that confronts the world today Is , What people shall dominate the civilization of the future ? Only two peoples today are In condition to contest for this prize o ! empire , Involving the future destiny and happiness of the human race. They are the Anglo-Saxon and the Muscovite. Shall wo go forward under Anglo-Saxon civiliza tion , or backward under that of the Mus covite ? This Is the real Issue In the so- called eastern question. Turkey and Ar menia are the occasion , not the cause. Tlicro Is no limit to the vaulting ambition of Russia. It is Asia today , tomorrow Europe , and the day after the world. The course of event Indicates a continental al liance against England. In very self-de fense , not to mention tbo cause of humanity and civilization , wo cannot afford to BCD her crushed , and wo will not. Commer cially wo are rivals , but in nearly all other respects our interests are Indcntlcal am thu sooner we , as a people , free ourselves from this foolish sentiment , that she Is our present as well as traditional enemy , the better for all concerned , For the past three years I have consldcrcc an alliance , both offensive and defensive between our country and Great Britain , aa inevitable , and I BCD no reason to change my views. Indeed to ono who has studlcc the philosophy of history , such an alliance IB foreshadowed from a remote past , Doubt less , the press ot the country generally will take the same view of this questloi that The Bee does. At present we are en gaged in a most Important political cam paign , and have little time to glvo to this matter , but evuntti will noon take shape In a way to bring this question before out people In a most forcible manner. It Is qulto Immaterial to mo , personally , whether my views are considered by the public UH sound and sensible , or foolish and absurd , an I am willing to trust to the future and that , too , not a very remoiu cno , to vindicate by porltlon.

It Is a tale of two bold and reckless travelers , who io forth in search ot the occult secrets of a certain sect whose monastery Is in the mountains on the way to Thibet , nnd of the extraor dinary experiences they encounter In the pursuit of their end. The 300 pages of tin book are literally crammed with Incident nnd one can never gucEs what the next chap ter Is likely to unfold. Some of the doing ? of the strangely matched pair are extrava gant enough , It Is true , and the devices by which they rise superior to all dangers nnd difficulties are often of a kind to make largt demands upon the good-natured co-operation of the reader.

NEW YORK , Sept. 27. The first persons on board the uteamer La Urctngno of the French Hue nttr slip wns made fast to her dock this morning were two men of mlddlo asc and huslness-like manner. They made their way to the saloon deck and , approachIng - Ing a handsome man ot military mcln who stood talking to n wonmn , one ot them s.tld : "This U Monsieur Charplcntei" , 1 brllcvo ? " "Oul , " replied the man , with n polite bow , "that Is my nrune , what Is your pleasure ? " , " \Vo are officers nf the law , and It Is otfY unpleasant duty to take J'ou Into custody , " replied one ot the two men , "Yes , " Interposed the other , "and this , I suppose , Is Mine. Dupont. We will have to arrest her. too. " By this time a crowd had gathered about the group , nnd It was learned the man and woman had been mistaken by the detectives for George Charplenter , a French altlst , and Mine. Alice Dupont , Ills model , with whom he Is said to have eloped from I'nrle a fort night ago. When the facts became known to the man and woman they laughed heartily and the man said : "U Is true my name la Charplciiter. but I'm not the man you are looking for. " He went on to explain that hi * name Is George C. Chai-plenter , and that ho Is the French consul at Mazatlan , Mexico. 'And Ihls lady , " ho said , with a sweeping bow , "Is Mine. Charplenter , my wife. " In support of his statement Connul Char plenter showed the detectives his official papers , nnd after making profuse and abject apologies the officers left the ship. The artist nnd his model , both of whom arc married , were not among the Ln Uru- tagno's C91 passengers.
