I , Completed. ,
AUnUHN. Neb. , March 7. ( Special. ) In
the Argabrlght trial the week closed with
Will Argabrlght , the defendant , on the stand ,
nearly through with hU crois-examlnatlon.
The state failed to produce Mr. Mead , the
ono witness remaining for the prosecution
to ; examine on Friday night , as ho was sick
and unable to attend , and so the defense
commenced Its slJo of the case on Satur
day morning.
Harry Smith , Lloncll Swobe , Perry Waltz
and Hilton Stanley detailed the events sur
rounding the shooting , substantially as re
lated by the prosecution , but claimed that
Smelzcr was following the defendant up as
he was retreating Just before the fatal shot
was fired.
William Anderson said that ho had known
the defendant since ho was a boy , and the
deceased for a long time ; that ho met the
defendant November 28 , 18D3 , when he got
on to his rig to rid to the school house
some five mllea away , and Smelzcr soon
overtook them on the road. As Smolzcr
drove up ho said to the defendant : "Havo
you come down here for a fuss ? " and the
defendant replied , ' 'No ' , " when Smelzor said :
"Well , by O - , If you have , you can have
all you want right hero , " and the defendant
then said , "I would like to see Hose and
'tho ' children. " Smclzcr then said : "You
can't see them , and I want you to keep off
my premises , and If Dill Anderson know
what kind of a man you nro ho would not
let you rldo with him. "
Dr. Oppermann , the coroner , was next
called for the purpose of showing what
Thomas Allen , now deceased , testified to at
the coroner's Inquest , and , after an ex
tended argument by the attorneys as to the
admlsslblllty ot this kind of evidence , the
court decided It to be competent and the
doctor said : "Tom Allen1 testified aa follows
before the coroner's Inquest on February 10 ,
1804 : 'I was hero In this room last night.
Will Argabrlght's wife was behind Mr.
Smelzer when they met In the aisle. Mr.
Smelzer struck at Argabright , but I did not
see the blow take effect. Then Argabrlght
drew the revolver ; he held It In his right
hand ; Jim Sparks had both arms around
Argabrlght's neck , trying to take the re
volver away from him. Sparks had still a
hold on Argabrlght when the shot was fired.
Did not eee Frank Arpabrlght Jerk Sparks
away. Will Mead and Charles Dye took
the revolver away from Will Argabrlght.
Three or four minutes after the first blow
the shot was fired. ' "
L. 15. Rue said lid was on the grand jury
that Indicted the defendant , that AV. II.
Beckct testified before that body and that ho
then said , "I did not hear Mr. Argabrlght
make any threats against. William Smelzor ,
but I know two men who did hear him make
such threats. "
The defendant then testified that ho was
born and raised In Nemaha county and was
the eon of James AV. Argabrlght. Up to the
tlmo ot his going to South Omaha ho had
farmed and taught school In this county ,
excepting ono year ho had spent In Kansas.
At the tlmo of this trouble ho got a two
days' leave of absence and came down to
Auburn to see his folka. Intending to go
back on the 9th of February , but it was
such a stormy nnd blustery day that he put
It off till the next day. Ho was at his
father's and after supper his brother Dick
was getting ready to go somewhere. Ho
asked his brother where he was going and
ho said to Champion school house to a school
exhibition. His 'brother ' asked him to go
along , and ho went. This was the first he
know of the entertainment. They arrived
at the school house between C and 7 o'clock.
The witness proceeded : "When wo arrived
the exhibition had commenced and I took
a seat between the stove and the door under
a lamp. Pretty soon the teacher asked to
have the light turned down , and I reached
up with my left hand to turn it down , 'but '
Instead turned it up first and then down.
I was not excited. After the exhibition
'was over I was standing near the door and
the Smclzers started toward the door , Mrs.
Smelzor In the load , carrying a child In her
arms , and I stepped forward and asked If
that was my boy and as she said 'Yes' Mr.
Smelzer commenced to rain blows on my
head , and some one struck me from 'beh'lnd '
nnd then Smelzer struck mo again and
knocked mo against the wall behind a scat
and I slid down the wall and was In a
crouching position and Smelzer was leaning
over me , trying to strike me , when I drew
my gun and held It in my right hand and
after that I threw up both arms to guard
myself from the blows of Smelzer before I
fired , as ho was standing over me. I thought
there were three or four attacking mo from
behind and that If I did not fire that shot
I would never get out of there alive. "
The defendant was quite cool and collected
on the stand and was under cross-exanvlna-
tlon for about two hours , but did not ma
terially contradict himself. The defense Is
nearly through with Its testimony and then
will follow the rebuttal. ' The case will prob
ably 'bo ' given to 'the Jury Monday evening
or Tuesday morning.

and had no previous warning. In Just two
weeks his hearing came back almost as sud

Mr. Colerlck was milking , ho suddenly became -
came almost totally blind , and for some time
could not see his hand before him. In the
last few days , however , his eyesight has re
turned , aud Is now almost as good as It wan
before. Another strange circumstance la
that Mr. Colerlck Is cutting several now
teeth In his lower Jaw. Although the teeth

Nebraska Is such as to suit the raising of
such fruits. It knows that it will do as
well as in California , and Nebraska offers
It the great advantages of being nearer mar
ket and affording land now worth but a few
dollars an aero Instead ot hundreds ot dollars
lars per acre as Is the case In California.
A few such enterprises as these , added to our
already established fame for beet raising ,
would , make Nebraska great Indeed.

The band of exposition missionaries that
has boon touring through the southwestern
mutes nnd Mexico for the past three weeks
returned to Omaha yesterday shortly before
noon. The party consisted of Messrs. Euclid
Martin , C. S. Montgomery , J. O. 1'hllllppl
E. J. Cornish , liev. S. Wright Butler nnd
Major Crowdsr of this city nnd Judge Cor-
nloh of Lincoln.
All the momfcora of the party report a
ploaeant trip and nro of opinion that
much good was accomplished In behalf of the
exposition. They were not accompanied by
nny relatives , or friends , nnd Mr. Montgom
ery , who acted ns chairman ot the committee ,
innlotcd throughout on strict nttcntton to
the business for which the expedition was
started ,
The missionaries feel most encouraged over
the success ot their mission in Mexico , nnd
predict that the building nnd display ot that
country will be ono of the grandest features
ot the exposition. No do\lbt \ to felt about
securing an appropriation from Arkansas , ani
$25,000 Is the sum thought to bo assured.
It 13 also believed that Missouri will aid
with a liberal subscription , Some doubt Is
felt about a donation from Texas on account
of legal obstacles In that ftate , though It Is
believed that these may bo overcome later.
PIUST WORK IN MISSOURI.
Jefferson City , Mlspourl's capital , was flrsl
visited. Addresses were made before a Joint
session of tli3 legislature , and some Influence
brought to bear on Individual legislators. The
next stopping point wns nt St. Louis , where
the sympathy and co-operation of the Uoari
of Trade were secured , the president aus-
poiultng business In order to listen to the
Omalmns.
A very successful Interview was had with
the legislators of Arkansas at Little. Rock.
Mr. Montgomery presented the facts and
figures essential to an understanding of the
exposition , and Messrs. Cornish and IJutler
followed with short appeals.
Ilrlef stops were mada at Hot Springs and
at San Antonio. At the latter place Con
gressman SlaQen was seen and pledged to
do what ho could for the exposition with the
Texas legislature. Ho said , however , that
there wcro certain laws of the state that
stood In the way of any appropriation. It
was then agreed to pass the capital of Texas
until the return trip. On the way back Mr.
Montgomery telegraphed the governor for
permission to address a Joint session of the
legislature , .but received no reply.
RECEPTION IN MEXICO.
In the CIfy of Mexico the most favorable
interview was had. It was with President
Diaz , and 'had ' been well arranged by ex-
Governor Crltfcmlen , the American minister
there. Mr. ' Montgomery presented the ob
jects of the exposition to President Diaz ,
and after a' short address left with him a
Spanish translation ot a letter giving com
plete Information about the exposition. The
reception by President Diaz was most cour
teous , and at Its close he said that ho was
In full sympathy with the undertaking and
would see to It'that Mexico was creditably
represented with'a grand exhibit. He de
sired , however , 'that the matter bo placed
before hlm'ln' an official way by the presi
dent of the United Slates. Mr. Montgomery
assured hint thai a'n Invitation from such n
source shoulj not be wanting. The secrc-
tnry of statfeof , Mexico was alsb called upon.
Ho had chargd' or'tho Mexican display at
tIo'World'rf'fa'lr7 ( He Inquired particularly
about space for exhibits find regulations ,
and agreed to' do all In his' power to make
the Mexican cxlllblt"a success.
The members of the party say that they
arc under obligations to these railroads for
numerous courtesies extended : Missouri
Pacific , Texas Pacific , International & Great
Northern , Mexican National , Wabash and
Omaha & St. Louis. It was due to the kind
ness 'of General Managers Hamsey of the
Wabash and Barnard of the Omaha & St.
Louis that the party was enabled to reach
homo yesterday. A wreck on the Missouri
Pacific delayed travel on that road and the
Wabash at once agreed to bring the party to
Omaha.
Five members of the party have been
through Europe , but they declare that a
Mexican tour Is far ahead ot any European
trip. All were well laden with souvenirs
and with newspapers containing interviews
booming the exposition.

LONDON , March 8. There is no doubt ,
says the Athens correspondent of the Times ,
that if 1'rlncit George ot Greece were placed
at the heatl of an autonomous Cretan gov
ernment with thq tltlo of prince , the whole
Greek nation and Cretans would willingly
accept the prcp'osals of the powers and the
Greek troops 'would bo withdrawn.
"Such a scheme , therefore , says the cor
respondent , "ought not to be rejected without
the gravest rtatons. The Cretans arc suspi
cious of the promises of Europe and firmly
bollevo that there Is no other course open
than union wltli"'Greeco or Turkish rnlo ; but ,
doubtless , lf'a'choico ; were offered to them ,
their preference" would bo for autonomy
under a GreWk'iirlnce.
A dispatch tii 'the Times from Athens at
midnight waj 'Boino ' ot the members of the
foreign legation hud other foreign residents
have alreadyleft ) thu city , and it Is reported
that several oT'tliV legations have advised all
foreigners to leAvp Greece. This has caused
a painful feeling'on ' the part of the Greek
public , which'-regards it fa an unjustified
step , as thoM/orfclgners / have boon Created
with nil rcEpdct-'itnd have at no time been
in any dancer1 Whatever. Moreover , a ma
jority of the foreign residents are known to
favor the Gre 'cause.
Certainly Utie 'taspcct ' of the city is very
warlike , but , considering the excited state
of the public'mind ' , the people are behaving
with moderation and exhibiting marked
self-control.1'/Tim trains are bringing in
thousands -.raslirvea from the provinces ,
and these are parading the streets with
their accoutrements. A squadron of cavalry
and batteries of artillery traversing th9
principal streets to embark for Thcssaly
gave peculiar vividness to the Bcene. Great
crowds joined the soldiers In hurrahing
for war and proclaiming loyalty to Greece ,
to King George and to the government.
Tlio dcireo summoning the remainder of
the reserves Is held buck at the last mo
ment. Tli ? troops already on the frontier
are deemed eulllclent for the present , and
more than this , it is believed that the prm-
enco of foreign men-of-war , near the
Piraeus , Indicate * that the blockade will
commence tomorrow , thua severing com
munication with thu frontier by tea.
The members of the press of Athens have
joined In a dispatch to Admiral Canovaro ,
commanding the allied fleeU at Canea , ex
pressing surprise that the lives of foreign
correspondents should bo e-ndangarcd by
threats of violence on the part of Muraul-
mans , and requesting ( he admiral to take
active steps , where necpssary , to safeguart
the Hvea of Inoffensive journalists engagci

"If Nebraska has Rood crops this year tlio
state will sco good times again next fall , "
remarked M. C. Peters , manager of the Hernia
Omaha Das company , last week. Ho baseo
this prediction upon a barometer made up on
flour bags , grain bags , potato bags , and
every other kind ot bag that the company
hamllca.
"Thero V'lll bo n great sxport of flour and
grain from this stnto next fall It tlio crops
are good. " continued Manager Peters. "I
base this prophesy on the fact that the de
mand for export bags has largely Increased.
Wo are selling 30 per cent more export flour
baga this year than wo did last , and the de
mand for export grain bags Is double what It
was a year ago. This refers to the sntlro
state of Nebraska. As a matter of fact , the
demand for bags In thla state Is about what
It was In 1S92 , when times were good.
"Tho bag market furnishes a good Index of
ths commercial condition of the country. I
can furnish an Instance of It. Thrco months
before the panic of 1S92 struck tlio country
wo felt It and know It was coming. As a
consequence wo cut off our force considerably
and sold the stock wo had on hand. Tlmp ,
when the panic arrived , we were prepared for
It and wo did not have n warehouse full of
bags on our hands. The storm was Indicated
by the bag barometer.
"Tho good times are coming , but they will
como slowly. I do not expect that they will
bo hre before fall , but the Indications are
very favorable. The demand for our stock
Is not only very good , but our collections are
picking up right along. With a good crop
wo will bo on a tidal waveot prosperity In
this state again next year. "
Manager Peters Is preparing for this better
commercial condition. Ho Is about to put
In a big now' boiler In the establishment at
Eleventh and Jackson streets , Involving an
expenditure ot a consldcrabla amount ot
money. There Is prospect , nlso , that In the
near future the company will erect an ad
dition to the present factory.
In speaking about the crop condition Mr.
Peters said : "U'o have a. good foundation
for a good crop this year. The ground , I
understand , Is full of moisture throughout
tho-state. It Is said that the winter wheat
crop Is about ruined , but I have reports
which show that almost a full crop will bo
harvested If we have a warm rainfall In the
near future. I do not believe that this state
harvests as much of a winter wheat crop
as It should. The farmers could put In fields
of that grain and If the crop Is a failure
they might replant the fields with spring
wheat. If this did not pan out they coulii
then put In corn. "
Mr. Peters also spoke of the condition of
the beet sugar Industry and regarding this
ho said : "I think It was a mistake to do
away with the sugar bounty. The people of
this state seem to have the Idea that Ne
braska Is the only beet-growing state In the
union. That this IB a mistake Is shown by
the fact that flvo sugar factories liavo been
recently started In other states California ,
New Mexico and Illinois. Those states prob
ably do not give a bounty , but if Nebraska
did such factories would be attracted to this
state. The bounty Is1 nothing more than an
advertisement that Nebraska Is confident
that It has the best beat soil lrt ( the country
and wants H to be known. It certainly
would attract capital. "
TWO IXTI3HHST1.\0 OMAHA GIIU.S.
Arc AlloKVil to Ilnvc-
nml Mesmeric KneiiltloH.
Two little Omaha girls have become mys
teries and puzzles and even objects ot some
foreboding to their parents from the fact
that they seem to have been suddenly
possessed with strange mind-reading and
mesmeric powers. One of them is Annie
Klenke , the daughter of Letter Carrier
Klonke , who resides nt 3147 South Fifteenth
street. The other Is a neighbor , girl , Lil
lian Krlz. The little girls are between 9 and
10 years of age and are great friends.
The strange condition was no't discovered
until a few days ago. It is said that the
llttlo ones were trying to induce Annie's
father to give them some spending money.
Ho agreed to hide a dollar , which they
were to keep it they could find It. The coin
was put away. In less than thrco min
utes the llttlo girls had found it and gene
to spend a portion of it for candy.
The other evening an experiment was
tried upon the girls In the presence of their
relatives and this developed another Instance
of their mind-reading powers. The result
Is vouched for by ono of the witnesses , who
alleges that his mind has not been at all
disposed toward the supernatural , .but who
was compelled to believe the testimony ot
his own eyes.
The girls , were put together In a room
nnd a door key was then concealed In an
other room some distance away. It was
placed above rt door sill In such a way that
It could not be seen. The llttlo girls were
brought Into the room. Annie Klenko sat
in a chair with her hand over her eyes ,
communing with the "spirits. " Suddenly
she arose , walked to the door , ran her hand
along the sill as far as she could reach
and then exclaimed :
"It Is up there. I cannot reach It. "
The key was taken down and was once
more concealed. This time It was. first
placed In a clothes basket and was then
put Into the toe of a slipper. When the girls
came In they hesitated a minute and then
ono went to the basket , thrust her hand In
and said : "It ought to be here , but It Isn't. "
The other waited a few seconds longer nnd
then stepped to the place where the slipper
was lying and extracted the key from It.
Arthur Pulnskl , brother-in-law of Letter
Carrier Klenke , Is authority for a story
which Illustrates the mesmeric power of the
Klenko girl. It seems that she wns very
Intimate with Pulnskl's boy , who died Inst
October , nnd who was nbout her own ago.
Three days ago the girl wns taking n lesson
upon a piano , when she suddenly stopped
and began to talk with some one , who spoke
In the volco of the dead boy. The latter
volco told the girl that It would remain
with her and also Informed her that It had
gene to sco Ptilaskl and his wife. The lit-
Llo girl burst Into tears nnd affirmed that
she had been conversing with the boy's
spirit.
I'ulaaki nlso says that ho was present
when the girl haa a conversation with the
spirit of Ida Gaskill , for whoso murder
Jcorgo Morgan is sentenced to be hanged.
Pulaskl states that ho distinctly heard two
voices , ono that of the girl and the other
belonging to the spirit. The latter In the
course of the conversation said that Morgan
was innocent of the crime charged against
him , as ho did not murder her. She did
not , however , disclose the murder's name.
Letter Carrier Klonke , the father of ono
of the girls , Is much interested In mes
merism ,
K- from .Aiuu'inllcltlx ,
James McManux , a soldier Htntloncd at
Fort Crook , was picked up yesterday morn
ing near the corner of. Ninth nnd Dodge
Btreets and taken to the Htntlon. Upon
examination , I3r. Towno pronounced him
to bo sufferlntf from an attack of appendi
citis ) . McMantis B lutei ) that he had been
troubled for Homo time with some nllllc-
tloti , but had not thought It to be of a
xcrlous nature. Ho wan removed to thn
fort last evening , where nn operation will

TO MOBILIZE THE MILITIA
Stupendous Undertaking in Connection
with the Transmississippl Exposition *
WEEK'S ' MANEUVERING IN ARMY TACTICS
Slmllnr 1'lim linn llrrn Kntlorxeil lit
( lip Punt liy Illtth Olllclnl * III the
ItcKiilnr Army Wlm Con-
Hhli-rcil It llviu'tlclnl.
A man in this city who ha * had cor.cld-
er/ihlp / experience In mllltla matters has
made a suggestion regarding the mobiliza
tion of the mllltla of the United States In
connection with thn Trnnsmlssldslppl Ex
position which seems worthy of the moat
serious consideration of the management.
In brief , this plnn contemplates the assem
bling ot the mllltla of the several states
of the union In ono grand school ot Instruc
tion , such as has not becu afforded the state
troops since the late unpleasantness. This
Idea , In Itself , Is not a new one , the same
plan having formed the subject of many dis
cussions In gatherings ot military men and
having been cxpoltcd In magazine articles
by military writers ; but the opportunity of
fered by the exposition presents nn occasion
more favorable for the practical executlin
of the plan than has occurred since the Idea
was first advanced.
It L-i well Icttc-fen to nil who are familiar
with mllltla matters that each state In the
union has a force of soldiers organized and
arnu-d under the direction of the stato.
These state troops hold encampments each
year , or each two years , the stnto paying
the expenses In connection with such en
campments. The plan under consideration
Involves the massing of these troops In the
vicinity of Omaha during the summer of
189S for the purpose of holding n school of
Instruction ami affording the troops the op
portunity of actual experience In the strat
egy of warfare and the movements of largo
bodies of troops. The magnitude ot this
plan Is not apparent to the layman at first
glance , but when It Is considered that the
uniformed citizen soldiery of the states of
the union number nearly 150.000 , the Idea
grows until It assumes mammoth proper
tions. The Idea also Includes the nsscm-
bllng of several regiments of United States
troops of all arms , Including infantry , cav
alry , light and heavy artillery nnd engin
eering corps. In a word , It would mean the
assembling at Omaha of an army ot no mean
proportions and would b ? one of Ihe grandest
military events In the history of this country.
LITTLE E.XTUA EXPENSE.
It Is believed that every state In the union
could bo depended upon to send Us troojM
to this encampment for the snl ; ot the ad
vnntngo to be derived from such nn ex
perlence. The expense Involved would b
little. If nny , more than the usual expe
nttachlng to the regular elate oncampmcg1
and the superior advantages offered by n sum
mcr campaign approaching aa nearly as may
be tlio experiences of actual warfare woult
bo of Incalculable value to all the troops.
Tlio plan suggested contemplates having
the entire affair under the direction of offlccrs
of the regular army. To do this It would
necewary to secure th-j co-operation of the
secretary of war , but as several former eecre.
tarle.3 of war have advocated very warmly
the Idea of fostering tno state mllltla In
order to form a well drilled an experienced
nucleus around which , might be thrown the
other 9,000,000 of able bodied citizens of this
great republic who are available for mili
tary duty , it Is not anticipated that there
would be any dlfflculty in securing the active
and hearty cooperation of the government
in such a movement.
With army officers skilled In the art ot
war In command of the forces , the oppor
tunity offered for actual experience In fiel
movements would be unboundsd. Omaha I
a typical Inland city and the rolling prairlea
surrounding the city on three sides woulii
afford n field of action for the troops which
would glvo ample opportunity for the dis
play of strategic ability. A general plan of
action , Including the besieging and defending
of the city , would allow of movements of
troops covering the entire range of problems
In the science of war. For strategic pur
poses the cities of Omaha and Council 1luffs !
inlglH bo regarded as n single city , and the
jroad Missouri , flowing through the centei
ot this great city , would open nnothcr field
for strnteglc movements , which would afford
the exercise of the skill and Ingenuity of the
most learned officers.
BIG ARMY OF MEN.
An army of 1GO.OOO men could bo divided
into forces for attack and defense , which
would glvo n largo force on either side. Bat-
: crles of heavy artlllerj' , to bo supplied by
the federal government , could bo intrenched
upon the bluffs commanding the river nnd
: he surrounding country and ample oppor-
: unlty for the location of sleg" guns would hs
afforded by the high rltlges surrounding the
city. There are plenty of commanding
eminences upon which forts might be erected ,
ind , In fact , the operations of the troops
would bo limited only by tlio inclinations
of the commanding officers.
The experience that would thua bo offered
ho troops of the states and of the federal
government would bo unexcelled by any
opportunity ever afforded In anything but
actual war nnd would bo carrying Into effect
ho fondest dreams of theorists and Investi
gators In the ficlence of modern warfare.
It has been stated Hint the uniformed
mllltla of the United States number nbout
SO.OOO men. Four-fifths of thia force is
ocatetl east of the Mississippi. The trans-
nlsshslppl states and territories have a
nllltla force numbering about 3 .000 men ,
Jlstrlbutcd substantially ES follows : Ari
zona SO' ' ) , Arkansas 2.:00 : : , California 5,000 ,
Colorado ICOO. Idaho 600 , Iowa 2.500 , KnnauH
,700 , Louisiana 1.500 , Minnesota 2.000 , Mis

JOO , Oregon 1,500 , South Dakota MO. Texas
! ,200. Washington 2.000 , Wyoming 500 , Okln-
ioma 150 , Utah 1,100.
Aside from the experience afforded the
roops participating in the great event , the
jpportunlty would be afforded the Eoldlura ,
iml especially llioe from eastern elates , of
suiting the great west and the exposition ,
'rom a financial standpoint the exposition
vould derive great benefit nnd thu city
vould dorlvo not ouly great financial bene-
1t , but would bo advertised throughout the
cngth and breadth of the Innd among the
: ltzcn ! soldiery of the union ,
The co-operation of the government and of
ho several state authorities might easily
jo secured by judicious effort and the mere
itinoiincumcnt of the pcaslblllty of the plan
joint ; succcacful would bo sufficient to ueciiru
ho active co-operation of all the members
