The rnagh/lnfs for March arc generally of
a praiseworthy character and some of them
Hhow decided Improvement over previous
months. The majority of them still present
an nbundatico of war material , the most of
It matter that has already been covered by
the ilally press so that It cannot claim
attention by reason of. Its freshness. In
fact the only thins that In any way com
mends many of these articles to public at
tention Is the prominence of the writers
who , In most cases , were iictlvo partici
pants in the events described. In one way
it IH hardly Just to offer this as a criticism ,
ns the magazines do not aim to supersede
the dally press as purveyors of current newt ,
but rather to supplement the press by going
inoro abundantly Into detail. In this latter
rcBpoct they are moat successful nnd no
I/orson / can read the mag.i/lrros regularly
without becoming thoroughly well informed
concerning the current events of the world ,
It has been observed , and possibly with
good reason , that"many readers make the
mistake of limiting their magazine reading
to one , two or three of the most popular
publications. There nro a large number of
cheap magazines which contain n vast
amount of valuable Information and a small
mini set asldo monthly for their put chase
would yield the Investor largo returns In the
way of n liberal education
The most Interesting or Important article
in a magazine Is not always to ho found at
the beginning. Sometimes a striking feature
is secured when halt the forms are ready for
the press and room has to bo rnailu for It
near the latter end of the magazine. It was
BO with General Shatter's "Capture of San
tiago , " In the February Century ; It Is HO
again this month with Major General
Greene's "Capture of Manila" General
Orceno IB the author of the standard history
of the last Turco-Husslan war and of other
military works. Lieutenant Hobson tells
in this number of his experiences In prison
In Santiago nnd bin observations of the
elcgo ; Lieutenant J. 11 Uernadou , who com
manded the torpedo boat "Wlnslow" in the
action nt Cardenas In which Ensign Bagley
was killed , tolls the story of May 11 ; Ltou-
tenaiH Cameron Winslow , who commanded
the cable cutting expedition at "Clenfuegos"
on the same day , describes the hazardous
operations which ho directed , and Mr. Ar
thur Houghton gives a realistic glimpse of
" cenes In the Spanish Capital" on the cvo
of the late war. A moro momentous war
than that of 1898 Is the hilbject of Prof.
Wheeler's papers on Alexander the Great ,
the current Installment of which Is de
voted to the Macedonian victory at Issus.
Though Mr. Crawford's "Via Cruets" Is a
romairco of the Second Crusade , there la no
warfare In the present chapters ; and peace ,
not war , is celebrated most entertainingly
by General Sherman In the diary of his tour
of Europe in 1871-72. That an American
woman has become vlceielno of India gives
special Interest to the opening article , "At
the Court of nn Indian 1'rlnco. " nut
nothing1 in the March Century Is better
worth the careful consideration of Arncilcan
readers today than "British Experience In
the Government of Colonies" by the night

TAKES A SHOTVAT A BURGLAR
Mrx. llnUiTiiuiu IJrlvpH a Man Out of
Her HOIIMC mill Thrn Iilcii-
tilivN Him.
Mrs. May Haltorman , 841 South Twenty-
second stieet , had an experience Sunday
morning about 2 30 o'clock that resulted In
the arrest of John Lynch and his subsequent
Identification as a midnight intruder. Her
husband Is night watchman for the Paik
commission and the Incident occurred
duiing his absence.
Mrs. Haltermau had awakened nt nbout
2 o'clock. She had not gone to sleep again
when she felt a draught of air. She was
about to get up and look to see from whence
It came when she saw a man appear In the
doorway. Thinking It was her husband she
did not speak. She saw the man pick up a
chair and move It out of his way. In doing
BO she got a view of his face from the front
and in profile. She decided what she would
do Instantly and proceeded to put her plan
Into execution by screaming and leaping
from the bed. The Intruder started to run
and she followed , grabbing a revolver as she
puuucd him. Ho made for the rear door
and ns ho vvaa going out she fired , but
missed him. She followed him out into the
snow In her night dress and bare
feet. Ho ran behind a nand box
and emerged again when he
discovered that she was still pursuing him.
As he came out nho fired four times at
him without effect. Ho ran down street so
rapidly that aho was unable to overtake
him. She listened , however , and noticed

CHECKS IN EVIDENCE IN SUDBOROUGH CASE
Anily Hunt i\iilnlim lli - Mcthoil of

ClcrlJ.
H took nil the forenoon to get tlie ton
essential exhibits of the Sudborough case
before Judge Baker's court as evidence.
Other exhibits nro to follow , but those now
in are considered of primary Importance
mid such ns may yet bo offered \\lll bo for
the purpose of corroborntlon.
They con Istcd of the three "expense en
velopes" for $50 , ? 1GO nnd $203 75 , respec
tively , nu auditor's draft covering the same
Hems for the total of $403 75 , n check for
J300 payable to A. J Luut , secretary of the
Douglas County Republican ccntrnl com
mittee , dated October 6 , 1S9C , signed by A.
J. Hunt ( the witness on the stand ) ami en
dorsed bj Secretary I.unt and Treasurer W.
H. Hnnohett , an auditor's draft for ? 300 to
cover the Ltint check , an auditor's draft for
J2SJ ; another for $250 , mid still another for
$70125 $ to mnkc up n total of $2,000 for
which the draft , known as "exhibit 10 , " was
given.
At the present rate It will bo some tlmo
before the testimony of "Andy" Hunt Is
complete. Owing to the complicated system
of the 1'nclflc Exptess company's Internal
workings the court had him toll how the
"ofllcc bank" v\as reimbursed , utter It had
paid out money , as stated by the witness , to
Sudborough. A draft had to bo presented
to the treasurer , the treasurer would be
reimbursed by the cashier of the local ofllce ,
the local ofllco cashier would got his money
from the "ofllco bank" and then the "office
bank" would square Its account by drawing
again upon the treasurer. Hunt explained
that If the ' 'ofllco bank" did not get Its
monej fiom the treasurer It would "bo out
that much. "
Incidentally he alluded to a visit ho made
to Lincoln once to have Sudborough sign a
blank check.
Miike l.ittlc llciuluiiy.
Slow progress , and that apparently of a
baokwml character , was made In the Sud
borough trial In the afternoon. The pruso-
cutlon managed to Introduce as evidence a
lot of the auditor's statements covering
months In 1SU4 and the first part of ism ,
with corresponding entries In the classi
fication books of the Pacific Express com
pany , for the purpose of showing that In
each Instance there was a discrepancy of
$1,000 , that Is to sny , that the entries In
the classification books were Invariably
$1,000 bhort. In this , way something like
an alleged shortage of $18,000 was traced
previous to the tlmo covered by the statute
of limitation.
The most strenuous efforts were made by
Sudborough's lawyers to keep out this testi
mony. Judge Baker said It would be ad
mitted only for the purpose of show Ing
Sudborough's knowledge and criminal in
tent , if any.
Hunt was permitted to go Into the state
of affairs , of the auditing department when
he first took hold of the "ofllce bank. " Ho
said he then called the attention of Sud
borough to certain items on the cash books
which he. did not understand , but Sudbor
ough assured him that they would be ulti
mately explained. A conversation relative
to these Items was once had in which Aud
itor IJcchel participated as well as Sudbor-
ough. To quote Hunt on this :
"Bechcl said to mo , 'What are the Items
to which you refer ? ' I opened the books
and pointed to nn Item of about $14,000.
Dcchel said to Sudbqrough , 'What does thh
mean ? ' Then Dcchel nnd Sudborougb , at
the latter's suggestion , went Into Mr. Bech-
el's private olllce and later Dcchel re
appeared nnd went out and Sudborough fol
lowed in a short time. Sudborough said to
rap , 'Well , it's all right , ' and ho went out
and 1 put the book awny. "
Company Uookn In Kililcncc.
Books of the company wcro placed in the
hands of the witness and as ho Identified
certain entries they were offered in cu-
dcnco singly , the defense objected nt every
fctep Thp amount of the puliculii item of
shortfji } jlluded to 'by ' Hunt was given s\s \
$11,10284. County Attorney Shields drew
out ct the witness the suLstanco of certain
other conversations , despite the objections
fiom the othci side that they cojld not
properly lo iec.elved as admisslous or con-
fppslons of their client to. ching things be-
foie the three yoais. Hunt said that during
one of the conversations with Sudborough
the latter mhl&ucl him that "by making
fictitious entries in the classification books ,
the t.ilapoc can led by the cash books could
be reduced from month to month. " A
charge of $1,000 to the "idvanco account"
of dite July il , 1 94 , for example , vvjs made
in the cla-sillcatiuii book and this atuoiint
, w.is then d'ducteu from the balance cairi j
by the cash hook.
The auditor's statements for 1801 and 1S)5 ! )
and the corresponding entiles , each bhovvlns
an entry $1,000 less than the statement
called for , were admitted In evidence ono
afier another , the court overruling the re
peated objections of the defense and ex
ceptions being taken with formal piecislon
every time. The effect of each discrepancy ,
' explained Hunt , was to reduce the earnings
of the company that much and , at each
time , to lessen the shortage. Thus an
item from an auditor's statement showing
cash receipts amounting to $3,000 G6 , dated
February 28 , 1S94 , was entered on the class
ification book as $2C00.5C and likewise n
statement Hhovvlng an amount of $3"iG.Sl ! ) ,
March 31 , was entered as ? 2,5C1 86 and so on ,
In a little whliu the shortage was reduced
, to $10,504 10. Hunt testified further that ull
these fnlso entries were made by moans eli
i diafls , for which there were no vouchers ,
under the instructions of both Auditor
liechel nnd Chief Clerk Sudborough.
A batch of drafts were received covering
