The Jewelry store of H. P. Johnson nt 231
West Ilronclwny was broken Into jcstcrdaj
about noon during the nbsenco nt dinner w
the proprietor nnd cloven gold nnd fllle <
watches stolen. The robbery was dlscovcrci
within a few minutes after being pcrpe'
trated and nt once reported to the police , bui
there Is no clew to the thieves.
The robbery was a peculiarly nervy one
The store , which Is a small one , fnccs on th <
busiest pnrt of Broadway nnd the thlcl
could have been easily seen by nnjoni
passing. Mr. Johnson lives In a room bacV
of the store looking out Into a possngcwa )
between the two adjoining buildings and II
was through this that the thief effected at
entrance by forcing a window. Considerable
force must have been used , as the window
was fastened with nn Iran bolt. Shortly be
fore noon Mr. Johnson , who conducts his
business alone , closed the store and went tc
dinner. He was not absent from the place
more than twenty minutes nt the most nnd
on his return nt once noticed the open win
dow In the back room. Ills suspicions were
nroused nnd Investlgntlon Bhowed thai
cloven of the most valuable wntchei hail
been taken from the rack over his vvorV
stand. All the watches had been left will
him for repairs. Whoever committed the
robbery must hnvo watched the tlmo wher
Mr. Johnson went to dinner. None of the
Jewelry In the show cases was touched , II
being evident that the thief only had time
to snatch the watches that were readiest nl
hnnd , nlthough ho selected the ones vvltr
gold cases , leaving the silver ones un
touched. -

The Jury In the district court before which
was tried the suit of Graham nnd others
ngalnst J. L. Currlo and Fisher & Aney was
discharged yesterday nfternoon by Judge
Smith , It having failed to nrrive nt a ver
dict. The Jury went out shortly before
noon on Tuesday nnd from first to last stood
eight to four for the dcfendnnt. The amount
Involved In the suit did not exceed $200.
A special venire of Jurymen was called
nnd a Jury empanelled to try the suit of Mrs.
Hulda Wells ngntnst Wheeler & Hercld. The
plaintiff's attorney , however , dismissed the
case without prejudice before the Jury wns
sworn , ns ho considered that several ot the
Jurymen would bo too strongly in sympathy
with the defendants. Mrs. Hulda Wells sued
for tlOO damages for the benefit of the
county school fund , nlleglng thnt the de
fendants bold her son , Roy M. Tollman , a
minor , Intoxicating liquors , which resulted
In his being arrested by the police for dis
turbing the peace last October. Mrs. Wells
also brought suit against John Mergcn , a

Wldeiilnir Twenty-Second Street.
The negotiations to enable the city to se
cure the needed ground to widen South
Twenty-second street from Broadway to the
line of Cochran park arc about completed.
Finance Clerk True , to whom the matter
was referred , has arranged all the prelimi
naries and IB ready to make a report at the
next meeting of the city council. The pres
ent width ot the street Is forty-nine feet
and In order to widen It to the regulation
sixty-six feet It will bo necessary to take
seventeen feet ot ground from the west side
of lots 17 , 18 , 19 , block 18 , Highland Place.
Lots 18 and 19 face on Twenty-second street
and lie just south ot lot 17 , which fronts on
Broadway and extends south on Twenty-
second street. P. Gunnoude , who owns lota
18 and 19 , Is very anxious to see the street
widened and will deed the requisite seven
teen feet from his two lots to the city with
out cost. Lot 17 Is owned by J. J. Brown ,
and there are special and regular taxes
against It amounting to about $112. On the
seventeen feet that the city requires the
proportion of the taxes would amount to
about $79 , and as Mr. Brown asks $25 cash
In addition the acquisition of this seventeen-
foot strip will cost the city about $98 , which
Is deemed exceedingly cheap. The balance
of special taxes outstanding , amounting to
nbout $40 , Is to bo cancelled by the city ,
The residents In that neighborhood are verj
anxious to have the street widened and it
Is likely the whole matter will now bo ar
ranged In the near future.

STORM LAKE , la. , May 18. ( Special. )
Sheriff O'Brien of this city , after a long
chase , has nrrestcd Fred Nelson' In Mnnknto ,
Minn. Nelson nnd a companion named
Walter Glttlo are jointly charged In the
warrant with having stolen $300 from the
Illinois Central depot at Storm Lake on
February 15 last. They nrc nlso accused of
having stolen a team at Onnvva April 28.
Glttlo hnd driven out Into the country to do
some canvassing just before the officer ar
rived , nnd has not yet been apprehended.
Sheriff O'Brien traced the young men to
Manknto by means of the correspondence
which Nelson carried on with his young
lady love nt Storm Lake. She addressed
her letters to the man with whom the young
men have been boarding , and he had no
hesitation In "giving them away , " after ho
learned that they were wanted.- Nelson and
Glttle are sons of highly respectable parents
In Storm Lake and they were not suspected
of the thefts for some time. Glttle worked
at the depot and had the keys , and shortly
after the theft began to spend money freely ,
and as he was a poor lad , this led to his
being suspected. Nelson was his close com
panion and both left town before the offi
cers got ready to act. They had left Onawa
with the team just before the officers ar
rived there.

JEWELL JUNCTION , la. , May 18. ( Spe

mite , followed a minute later by two re

morning. Burglars had entered the post-
office , blown open the safe with dynamite
and got away with $200 worth of stamps
besides valuable papers in the shape of
blank money orders , etc. They placed the
dynamite on top of the safe and when It
exploded the safe was torn to pieces. Who
fired the two shots is not known , and it
was probably done as a warning to people
to keep In doors. The robbers were ex
perts , and It Is thought to be'the same gang
which robbed the banks at Thor and Blairs- '
burg and only two weeks ago the Jewell
Elevator company here. A posse has been
scouring the county today to no avail.

( Continued from First Pago. )
and offered himself at 23 a tory candidate
tot parliament.
I'"lr t Kleetlon Ait ill-mi.
His flret election addrces Is a rare curi
osity. It 'bears ' all the marks ttiat ntamp
hlo latest literary stsle. It Id poivlerous of
phratp. clever In balancing nkctlea , amus
ingly Bo'.emn and pretetitloun In Its moral
aspect , and eloquently partial to union of
church and state. It Is the catechism that
Mr. Gladstone has never fully rejected
from his own in hid. The > oung man was
Mire that It waa the "duty ot the hour to
natch and resist that unlnqulrlng and undiscriminating -
discriminating dcclrc for change union * r.a
whleti threatens to produce , along with par
tial good , a melancholy preponderance of mis
chief. " He felt that It was necessary espe
cially to resort to religion Incorporated In
the state to remedy widespread cvllf. He
held that the "duties of governors were
strictly and peculiarly religious. " "Legisla
tures , like Individuals , arc bound to enforce
religious truths. " He defended slavery bj
quoting scripture. "Were slavery nlnful ,
scripture would not regulate It. " Neverthe
less , It was to be abolished. As regarded Im
mediate-emancipation , whether with or with
out compensation , there were several minor
reasons against It. Fitness should be made
a condition of emancipation. An efficient
system of Christian Insructlon should be Im
mediately provided. Ills election WHS due
to the power of the duke of Newcastle , who
controlled Newark. He nent up to London
pursuedi by the taunt of political enmity
as the son of a man who had made a large
fortune from the blood of black s'aves , him
self fresh from college , his mind a"a slice
of foolsiap" and 'iU ' elector trie duke ol
Newcastle.
! lln Tory HcrlttiKV.
The parliament to which he was sent
opened January. 1&33. His first speech \vaa
on slavery. Ho waited In. silence until
Mar. H was In substance a 'defence ' of hla
father against a charge that , owing to over
work , many slaves died on his West India
plantation. In June the subject was up
ag > iln. and he said : "Wero not English
men to retain a right to their own honestly
and legally acquired property ? " Ho In
sisted upon compensation to the owners and
advocated discriminating emancipation ,
making the Industrious slaves free , but not
cmanclpatlnc the Idle. He made little Im
pression upon the houne except as an agree
able and fluent speaker. Emancipation WHS
decreed and an appropriation made of $100.-
000,000 to compensate the owners. In July
ho defended the Irish church , to whose roots
ho was to put.tho ax thirty-six years later.
The next year he spoke and voted against
removal of religious tests on entering a
university , which he himself was to seek to
remove at a later period. The same year
ho began holding office , his first post being
that of Junlqr lord of the treasury under
Sir Robert Peel. His first bill was brought
In In 1S35 , wh.cn he had become under sec
retary for the colonies. It was a humane
scheme for regulating the carriage of pass-
sengers In merchant vessels between the
continent and the Islands of North America.
Tfco Peel ministry went down on a pro
posal to abolish the state church In Ire
land. Mr. Gladstone made a speech In
which he said that he hoped he would not
live to see the day when any principle
leadlnc to separation of church and state
would be adopted In England. He lived to
engraft the principle with his own hand on
the British constitution.
Still a Tory.
King William IV died In 1837. A new
Parliament greeted the 'young Vhtorla. Mr.
Gladstone rcappcdred for Newark and re
appeared as a tory , making his first effort
In that body In the role ot an obstructionist
against the right -of Canada to bo heard
by Its own agent at the bar of the house.
The question of mitigating or abolishing
negro apprenticeship , which had become a
new form of slavery In the West Indies ,
came up and he opposed the remedial meas
ure.
ure.In 1839 be opposed a bill making' pro
vision for giving educational opportunities
to dissenters and Unitarians. O'Conncll was
one of his antagonists on the occasion.
He also opposed the educational rights of
the Jews. He would not have public money
used to "inculcate erroneous doctrines. "
In 1841 he opposed a bill giving civil rights
to the Jews. He was to live to see not
only all these things accomplished , but to
do a large part in accomplishing them.
IIIn Convention.
In 1840 the crisis began that ended In c
complete alteration of the economic system
by which England had previously succeeded
In Impoverishing and subjugating Ireland ,
which bad made the landlord class masters
of Great Britain and caused famine to
shadow the Islands. Under accumulated dis
aster the whlgs went out of office and the
torlcs went In , Mr. Gladstone going up again
for Newark and taking the pest of vice presi
dent of the Board of Trade and master of the
mint. His chief political deliverance during
the campaign was reassertlon of his faith
in the doctrine of protection. It was a de
fence of this doctrine that.furnished matter
for his first speech In the session. The
country was already rising against the corn
laws and while Mr. Gladstone was defending
them In the house , rioters were burning Sir
Robert Peel In effigy. It Is needless to trace
here the story of the succeeding flvo years.
The law had been passed In 1815. It robbed
a nation to enrich a class. The first motion
for abolition , Immediate and complete , wen
made by the opposition to Peel and his col
leagues In 1842. In 1845 the same minister
recommended It In the queen's speech. Glad
stone had been converted largely by the logic
of wild assemblages of starving1 people ; by
facts.
HIM Secoml Period Hcifln'n.
When Mr. Gladstone reappeared In Parlia
ment as a liberal elttlng for Oxford he In
augurated h's ' now era by supporting a pro
posal to admit the Jews to parliament. Ttiat
wa tbo first of a long scries of measure }
constituting' 'his claim , upon the homage of
his country , Indeed upon the sympathy and
admliatlon of the human race. He was
taunted at a later ttino .with being like that
pagan convert to Christianity whom , at bap
tism , the priest bade bow his head : "Hence
forth thou shall burn what thou hast wor
shipped and worship what thou h st burned. "
It would be Impossible to review In detail
the steps by which Mr. Gladstone has fur
thered tills comprehensive program , to which
from 1S50 to bis retirement his life was dedi
cated. It would bo untruthful to say that
during that pcrloi ho committed no mis
takes. One of the worst was his sympathy
with slavery in the ( American civil war , a
residuum left him as a punishment for hav
ing shared the profits of an Inhuman traffic.
But ho WUD net nehamed to confc-tcj after
ward that he had been wrong , and this Is
one of his noblest attributes , that he has
never been cshamed to confess that ho was
In the wrong.
Early in his liberal career Gladstone laid
down the principle that the Houcc
of Lords must submit to the willet
ot the elective branch of the
legislature. He saU in a speech li
1857 : "Kvcry member of the House of
Commons Is proudly conscious that ho be-
lonrs to an assembly which , In Its collective
capacity , Is the paiamount power of the.
state. " For a quarter century one of his
chief occupations has been bringing that
stubborn body to Its knees. The later portion
tion ot his life has been chiefly spent undo
ing la a clew and painful way wrongs as
old ns the House of Lords and for the most
part as Iniquitous and Infamoiu In their
origin. -
III * CloningLnlior * .
The closing years ot bis life were memo
rable for his fight for an enlarged franchise
and for home rule for Ireland. Mr. Glad-
st-no thought In the ' 60a when he struggled
to dlsenitabllih the Irish church that it *
disappearance would mike the people con
tented with the crown. He loon realized
thai a far greater evil w i fastened deeply
In tbo vitality of the cation. It became
neceraary to declare that compacts entered
. _ o DttWfen UndlorcV and ten nti In Ire-
Uod wire not covered by the principle of
itnctltjr of con trac ) because the eiientIM
lemrnt ot freedom between the turtle * h 4
not exlitcd. In 1STO ha began reform ot the
tend la 8. but as It proceeded he became
more convinced that nothing short of restora
tion of the domcAtlc legislature tor domestic
government would reach the root of the
wrong that had beta Intrenched In the llrlt-
l h constitution lor the perpetual ruin of u
part ot the no-caltrd United Kingdom. Ho
did not rii ! > h Into the home rule cnupe. He
was not quick of conversion. At lust ho
laid It down as equitable that whenever a
majority of the members of Parliament from
Ireland demanded homo rule It wan right
that Ireland should have It with such re
straints as would Insure supremacy of tbo
Imperial Parliament. To this the national
party consented ,
The herolm with which In old age the
liberal statouian proceeded to fulfill hU en
gagement is hlKory. There. Is no parallel
for It In the annals of any other country.
Qu the Ccfcht of his homo rule bill by the
House of Lords P.irlhment uv.s dlreolved nnd
Gladstone voluntarily retired from the lead
ership ot the liberal party and from public
life und Lord Horebory became hla siic-
Of htn great parliamentary labors , asldu
from Irlph home rule and disestablishment
of the church In that country , hla most con
spicuous efforts were In the extension of the
euffrnRi * , so far a-j those labors nffectcd the
Tights of the people of the UviltcJ Kingdom.
It w-as av ir.uKor of the exchequer that ho
won hid first victory. By his speeches ho
demolliihod the budget prepared by Disraeli ,
nnd on succeeding to the place In the Incom
ing Parliament completely icvolutlonlrvd the
finances of the United Kingdom and placed
them on the enduring basis on which they
rest today.
AK ii H Uralor.
As Mr. Gladstone has set hlu bind on a
larger and more enduring series of statutes
than ever were placed on books by any other
statesman , It IP true of him also that he hoe
towered above nil statesmen In the resources )
aocetcary for successful leadership In govern
ment. Othrx men have been witty ; he had
a gentle and lambent humor , but nothing :
more. He could be slightly , but not cruelly
sarcastic. He Indulged In Invective often ;
In vituperation never. Habitually urtnuo
e\en to caustic opposition , he entertained no
unkind personal feelings toward political op
ponents. and after his repeatcj duelH with
Dlsmell , who never hesitated to employ any
language toward an antagonist , Gladstone In
his library at Hnwordcn gives tea
a bust of Deaconsfleld the pedestal
over the desk on which ho has
written all of his political npecchrs. Hlo
oratory Is not easily dlbassociatcd from hla
political tactics , of which It Is a coherent
part. Ho was a forensic advocate of un
paralleled power. Belonging neither to the
class of Demosthenes , nor of O'Oonnell , nor
of Wendell Phllllpn , academic In cast of hto
thought and never free from the In
volution which Macaulay notes In his first
publication , ho Invariably charmed by the
breadth of hU views , which generally ex
hausted a subject or any audience at a tlmo
by the beauty of his embellishment * of the
driest theme , by the ngillty of hla Kitcl-
lectuil gymnastics and by the copiousness
and validity of hla diction. IHj marshaling
of arrays la mental divisions was ono of his
moit extraordinary girts. As written speech
Is never permitted In the House of Commons ,
and an ho had ample practice at Oxford cut
ting against mini's as well trained In debate
and as richly stored with reference no his
own , ho began parliamentary speaking with
an uncommon endowment , and ho carried It
to a precision and a glory never approached
In any other body.
At Ilunip ,
At his borne ho was still the wonderful
mental activity that pervaded the Imperial
legislature ; there he wns engaging and ab
sorbing , but never commonplace. Ills fund
of story , of Information , of literature and
science that delighted and astounded , was
endless. At the table he ate sparingly and
talked almost Incorsantly. No other person
would presume In his presence to suggest a
topic ; new topics grew out of his own words
like sudden leaves on a summer shrub. Ills' '
face , when host , was a picture of elevated
and unalloyed happiness. A nature free' '
from cynicism , a spirit reverent even of !
Itself , sincere , unquestionably benevolent of
heart from the beginning of his career until' '
Its close , hlo errors appeal to compassion , '
his achievements mount to monuments.
Not the least of bis life's labors has been
In the field of literature , and among his
many and valuable contributions Is a trars-
latbn-of tbo Iliad , upon which he set the
greatest etore and which ranks high among
scholars.
