When Buffalo Bill's show parade was In

were working the crowds on Middle Broad

Oscar Younkorman of her pocket book.

the theft committed and Immediately re
ported the fact at the police station. Ofll
cers Ward and Anderson were sent after the
fellows. The Lcutzlngers pointed them out
and both were landed In the station after
a little trouble. They gave the names of
John Handlcy and Alfred nipley. When
searched at the station each was found to
bo carrying a largo loaded revolver.
Whllo the men were being locked up and
searched II. W. Adams of Crescent City
called to report the robbery of his wife.
She had been relieved of a small pocket book
containing $1.55 and some personal trinkets.
No pocket books were found in the pos

$1.57 In the same kind of money as that
contained In Mrs. Adams' purse. The men

The body ot Mrs. Jennie L. Axe was taken
to Harlan at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon

body was placed In the casket and exposed to
the view ot friends and the general public.
Interest and affection may have prompted
some , but curiosity Impelled many more to
visit Estop's undertaking rooms and gaze
on the face of the dead woman. The ma
jority of the visitors were women and many
ot them came from Omaha. '
The police made no progress on the case
yesterday. It Ir. becoming to bo a prevail
ing opinion among the police that the mur
derer will be able to conceal his Identity un
til the judgment day. The theory enter
tained by Chief of Police Canning Is the one
held by the other members of the force
who hn o been detailed on the case.
"I do not bclicvo the murderer will ever
bo discovered , " said he. "Ho has concealed
everything connected with the crime ex
cept the bloody corpse. The more I think
over it and Investigate the moro am I con
vinced that the murder was committed by
n man whom the woman bad driven to the
point of desperation. She was a blackmailer ,
and she had perhaps found some victim who
was unable to Fatlsfy her demands for
money and would rather commit murder
than to have her ruin his reputation. She
may have bled him until he had reached a
point where ho could not get any more
money , and she , rofuslns to believe him , had
threatened him with denunciation. It Is
known that she was In need of money , and
\vai going out to meet somebody on the
night of the murder. It is easy to presume
that this was tht ) man who was desperate
enough to kill her to hush her threats and
demands , and ho purposely made the ap
pointment to meet her In the lonely place
between the two cities in the night , when
the deed could be committed without wlt-
netses. We will work on the case to the
best of our ability , but I never expect to
bo able to bring the muiderer to justice. '

Nearly every old soldier In the city was
present at the McKluley headquarters last
evening und took part in the meeting called
for the purpose of denouncing Coin Harvey
for his attack upon Generals Alger , Sickles
and others. S. P. Keycs , an ex-soldier from
Boston , was present , and took a prominent
part In condemning Mr. Harvey.
After some discussion and a universal
expression of a desire to say uncompli
mentary things about Harvey , the senti
ment of the meeting took the form of a
set of strong resolutions. After the resolu
tions had been discussed and put upon their
passage every soldier present jumped to his
feet and voted yea Ina , tone that could be
heard a block. The resolutions were :
Whereas , William II. Ilnrvcy in a speech
delivered In the city of Clinton , la. , char
acterized Generals Sickles , Alger , Howard
and Slgcl and Corporal Tanner In the fol
lowing terms : "Tomorrow night on this
very stage four men who at their coun
try's call went boldly to the front and
bared their breasts to shot and shell will
speak In response to the demand of mam-
monism. True patriots then , now wrecks
of the war , they have lost what patriotism
tlioy had and now , traitors to humanity ,
have engaged In a conlllct on the side of
oppression. What a spectacle. Were the
shades of Washington , Jefferson and Lin
coln to look upon them now they would
blush ivlth shame. " Therefore
Resolved , by the old soldiers of the city
of Council Bluffs without reference to
partv affiliation , That we denounce the as
persions and Invective language of said
Harvey against our old comrades. They
lost blood and limbs to insure the right of
free speech to every American citizen- and
their services place them among the great
est patriots of this nation and their views
are entitled to the highest respect. All citi
zens 'may feel honored to stand with un
covered heads while these old veterans
pass , with empty sleeves and on crutches
In lieu of limbs lost on fields of carnage.
None but demagogues will seek to belittle
them or Inveigh against them with such
wanton and unwarranted epithets.

Over 10,000 people witnessed the great
"Wild West" show at the Union Driving
park ye&lcrday afternoon and evening. The
afterno6n proved nn Ideal October day and
great crowds came in from all the sur
rounding towns. Not a few came from
Omaha in order not to miss the excellent
conditions that the weather man had pro
vided. Buffalo Bill was , of course , the cen >
tral figure In the great panorama ot horse
men and congress of rough riders. From
overture to salute the performance was
cheered and enjoyed by both young and ol'
Many recalled the perfoimance of thirteen
years ago , when Buffalo Bill started on hli
first tour , Omaha being his flrst stand t
this city next ,
Ono of the sterling features of the "Wilt
West" is that It possesses a genuineness
and even exceeds the claims made by the
bright posters that have heralded Its approach
preach In every hamlet within a radius o
twenty-flvo miles. Everything Is genuine
and there Is no fake about the show. The
American Indian , the wild riding Cossack
the immovable cowboy fast to the back o
the bucking broncho , the Mexicans , the
Arab horsemen and the South America !
gauchos were all there and gave some ex
hibltlons of rough riding that the beautlfu
stretch of country about Union park has
never before furnished a background for
The attack on the Deadwood mall coach
by Indians was a realistic portrayal of the
fast fading frontier aspect of the civiliza
tion of this country. From a purely histor
ical standpoint the entire performance has
a value that can hardly bo overestimated.
Buffalo Bill himself was loudly cheered
when he rode Into the field to give an ex
hibition of the marvelous skill that gave
him the reputation of being a dead ehol
thirty years ago. His hand Is as steady and
his eye as keen as ever , and his exhibition
of breaking glass balls thrown Into the air ,
while riding at full speed , was simply mar
vclous.
Miss Annie Oakley , the celebrated markswoman -
woman , gave an exhibition of her skill , In
rapid succession she broke ball after ball ,
knocked down bird after bird , to the amaze
incut of the ladles in the audience and the
envy of the men who pride themselves as
crack shots. Her dexterity was marvelous.
Johnnie Baker , who Is ono of the best
known rifle shots In the world , showed
what a steady hand and quick eye can
do with a revolver. Besides his ability at
off-hand shooting , Johnnie stood on his
head and broke glass balls , and then to
show how easy It It , when ycu know how ,
laid flat on his back and broke a dozen
balls without missing a shot.
The entertainment closed with' n grand
salute by the company and a burst of mel
ody from the band. By the way , that band ,
under the leadership of William Sweeny ,
has played Its way almost nround the world.
The parade yesterday morning was all
that had been promised and was witnessed
by thousands of spectators along the line
of march.
Senator fienr on tbc Cnntpiilfn.
Senator John H. Gear , who has been
spending nil of his time for several weeks
past In the interest of the republican ticket ,
spent a few hours In the city. He has been
conducting a strong campaign In the west
ern part of the state , and Increasing his
reputation as an effective political debater.
He has addressed some ofthe largest farmer
audiences that have ever assembled In the
state. "I never saw such crowds and such
enthusiasm in any campaign , " said ho.
"Whatever may be the result , the people
of this country will at Its close be the best
posted people on earth In regard to the
money system of their own country. That
this will not bo the only result I am as cer
tain as that that will be one of them. Every
thing looks right for a big republican vic
tory. I find that the people , especially the
farmers , are Interested in learning some
thing about the tariff , and while I do not
talk that altogether , still I have been talkIng -
Ing to the farmers some , and I find that
they listen very Intently , although I'm a
sort of a dry talker , you know. "
Senator Gear was one of 4he speakers at
the lied Oak meeting and divided honors
with Governor Foraker ot Ohio. He will
make several moro speeches In the western
part of the state before returning to his
home In Burlington. He Is as strong and
vigorous physically as ho Is mentally , and
does not show the seventy-one years ot ac
tive lite ho has lived.

Cnwliler Cole ITiiiler Arrent.
Charles T. Cole , cashier of the National
bank of Corning , Is under arrest and will
bo removed to this city for hearing as soon
as he. Is able to make the trip. His arrest
was made by the federal authorities and he
Is charged with having made false state
ments concerning the condition of bis bank.
Mr. Cole's physical condition Is such that his
friends fear a fatal termination of the pres
ent attack of nervous prostration.
About three weeks ago ho wandered from "
his homo and was not discovered until the °
next morning. It had rained all night and "
ho had lain out In a cornfield all through It. "
Recently the National bank of Corning , of
which Mr. Cole was one of the founders
as well as cashier , was absorbed by the
First National , the business of the two banks
being amalgamated under the name ot the
latter.
The matter has been kept very quiet and
full particulars are not yet obtainable. The
fact that Mr. Cole had Issued a falsa state
ment of his bank was presumably discovered
by the bank examiner when arrangements n
were being made for the transfer of Its busi
ness to that ot the First National.

in the cnso of Ino Central Building am

Involves nn Important point on the preml
urns paid by thd'jboj-jrowlng ' members. Th
loan In question was made May 2S for $2,00
and wag to licar' . j r cent Interest and a
premium of 6 pcr''eent ' was also to bo pal (
for the making 'pf , ' he loan. The Inheres
was to bo $7.20 Ifees taeh year. A moHgag
on two lots in Wright's ' addition was given
as security. Paynients were made tip t
January 1 , 1S95 , when they ceased , the defendant
fondant selling the premises to James G
Merrill.
The defcL'so contended that the rate o
interest was usurious and that the G pe
cent premium was not charged In order fo
the borrower to obtain a precedence In mak
Itig the loan. George Qulncy , manager o
the company , testified that the premium
was charged to swell the Interest and wa
a fixed rate In nil cases. The loans of th
company were made In order of appllcatloi
and no preference was given for the pro
mill in.
The plaintiffs contended that the usury
law did not apply to this case , as It was t
contract between mutual investors and th
Interest was to be shared by them when thi
stock of the company matured. The secom
claim advanced by the plaintiffs was tha
the premium amounted to a future , contln
gent and uncertain discount on the valu
to bo paid for the stock.
In deciding the case Judge Smith gave th
plaintiff judgment for$1,003.69 of the $1,91
asked for and entered Judgment In favor o
the permanent school fund for $ -163. In sum
tiling up the case Judge Smith states tha

denco In taking loans as the corporations by
their by-laws shall adopt. This the plaintiff
had failed to do ns regards the premiums
according to the testimony of Mr. Qulncy
the manager. In addition the court states
that if the loan had been made since July
4 , 1S96 , when the new law went Into effect
the agreement as to the premium to bo pak

CORNING , la. , Oct. J > . ( Special Tele
gram. ) Two of Coming's hestt business
blocks were entirely wiped out by fire this
morning. Tbo flro originated In the II. J.

work ot this and spread to two hot cars lu
the Burlington yards , When one ot the
cars was almost consumed , It was discov
ered thnt nn unknown man had cither per
ished In the flames , or had been murdered
and placed there by tramps.
The city fire department was unable to
extinguish the flro , ns the boiler at the
water works station was not In shape for
work and was undergoing repairs. When
the elevator was burned and the burning
mass was well under control , moat of the

wind had arisen and another conflagration

ruins , and ? 200,000 worth of property had
been swept away ,
The loss falls heaviest of A. U. Turner ,

were entered.
Another Is that it was started to cover
the crime of murdering the unknown man.
Everything hero Is In a terribly chaotic
state. The militia is patrolling the itown.

from Clarlnda and Creston , arrived too late
to save any ot the buildings. However , they
