of tho board's architects. Cox & Sehoentgen,
In which they recommended a new style of
building for tho Street site, adopted, but
failed of support.
Tho matter was brought up by Member
Sw.ilne, who moved that the report of the
board's nrehUcct he ndopted nnd they be
authorized to preparo plaus of a building
adapted to tho new site. For a while It
looked r.s If the motion would die a natural
death for wnat of u second, until Member
Macrao said ho would second It "Just for
fun." Tho motion failed to carry, Swaluo
and Macrao alone voting in the alllrmatlvo.
Then Macrae moved that tho original plans
as prepared for tho Oakland avenun site be

against It.
Then, on Macrae's motion, seconded by

f2S,S50, being 50 per cent of the contract
price. Tho matter of grading the Street
slto for tho building was left with the com
muted on buildings and grounds to attend

tho building should bo completed. Tho
board expressed Itself us anxious that It
should be ready for occupancy Tjy tho open
ing of the school year In PjOI, which would
bo nbout the roeond week In September.
President Henry suggested that It be com
pleted by August 1 or lb, but Hughes seemed
to think that September 1 would be about
ns early as ho could promise to have tho
building ready. Tho matter wits llnully left
with tho building committee, consisting of
Secretary lloss, Member Swalno and the
board's architects, to determine. Tho board
will meet next Tuesday night to complete
tho contract with Hughes.

The dead train robber, shot by Adams
Kxnrcss Messeucer Charles U. Baxter
Wednesday night, remains uuldeutlllcd, al
though tho remains were viewed by hun
dreds yesterday at Lunkloy's uudertuklng
rooms lu Council llluns. Thu llkeucss ot
tho dead man to Al Poormun, a barber
who furmeiiy worked lu this city and
Omaha, led many to bellovo it was him.
The fact that Foornmn Is walking around
In hla owu proper petson very Btrongly
disproves the suggestion that he Is the
dead man.
Chief Donahue. Captain Her and a num
ber of Omaha police ofllcers viewed tho
body, but failed to Identify the mun. It
wns thought by somo of tho Omuha oltlcers
that the dead robber might bo a mun
named Murphy thnt roceiilly escaped from
the penitentiary at Fort Madlsou, but a
party who was acqualutud with Murphy
said ho was not tho mau.
Leo Mitchell, n saloon keeper on South
Muln street, Council lllufts, claims lo hae
seen tho dead robber u number of times
Ho says the man, who was a Frenchman
by birth, came to his saloon frequently
nt Intervals of about two weeks and bpent
tho evening there drinking. On lcavlug
ho would always purchase it pint or more
of whisky nnd tnl;o It away with him.
I'll o ton I'll ll. i:inixeil.
A photograph of tho dead robber was
posted In tho wludow of a cigar store at
the corner of Ilroudwny and Pearl street
with a card underneath containing the
query: "Who is the dead trulu robber?
Hundreds viewed the picture during tho day,
but no ouo was able to give any clue us
to tho identity of the man. -Measure
ments under thu Uertlllon system were
taken by tho Omuha pullco of tho deud
robber and If all other menus full 11 Is
hoped to secure ldentllleatlou by these.
Coroner Treynor of Pottawultamlo county
will hold uu Inquest this morning ut 10
o'clock over tho dead robber. U.xpro-s
Messenger Charles U.ixter returutd to
Council lllulfs last evening, In order to be
present ut tho Inquest. On orders from
tho superintendent of the Adams Kxpress
company he stopped oil ut bt. Joseph in
Btead of continuing with his train to Kuu
sus City, whero his homo Is.
This Is not llaxter's ilrst experience of
being held up. Three years ago he was
running messenger on tho Wabash wheu
tho train was held up and the express
Bnfo robbed of a large sum of money. On
another occasion he was In tho express
car when an uttompt was mado to rob
It, but tho company had a posse of guurds
on bourd and tho robbers wero fought on
Sftirehlnu for u Trull.
OHlclals visited tho scene of tho holdui
yesterday morning ut daybreak and were
able to secure trace3 ot tho robber who
escaped clear to tho bank of tho Missouri
river, where It' Is bclloved ho secured a
boat nnd rowed across to llcllevuc. After
1umutii from the express car when Ilax
tcr shot ami killed tho man covering mo
engineer and fireman, tho second robber
ran down thu track to the road crossing, a
distance of about forty rods, where he
turned Into tho meadow and Btruck across
country. Two men, who wero found camp
lng near tho river, told tho ollkers that
about daybreak a man stopped nt their
tent and asked for a drink. After quench
lng his thirst the stranger, they said, got
Into their boat and was starting to row
across tho river when they covered him
with a shotgun und ordered him out. The
man got out of tho boat and proceeded
down tho river bank. A boat belongln
to a fisherman numed llnpp wus found
missing later and It Is supposed tho man
who la thought to huvo boon tho train
robber, took It and rowed ucross the river
in It.
A lad named ltlef brought to the police
ytsttrday a mask supposed to have been
worn by the robber who escaped You:ig
Illef found It In tho meadow nbuiit halt a
milo distant from the hccno of tho holdup
tho robber having evidently thrown It
away In his flight across the couniry to tho
rivtr.
Terribly Ulfi-elUf Shot.
An examination of the dead robber yes
terduy showed that oluven of tho sixteen
buckshot forming the charge that Kxpress
Messenger lluxter poured Into tho bandit
struck him on the right breast within
radius ot six lucheo. rlho deud man was
wearing what appeared to be a nearly now
null' of enamel uuuid with welt soles of
good quality. They beur ou the solts th
tritdemurk "Sanderson." Hts cluihtug
while of good quality. Is tsomowhut worn.
Tho llt'itlllou measurements show that
the dead man Is not as tall as ut
first described. In3teod of bolug b feet 11
inches ho is but 5 0 inches in holght, but
of muscular build.
D. It. Kulght, tho suspect urrcstcd yes
terday by Otticer Callaghan of Council
Illuffs, proved up all right nnd will be
released this morning. Colonel Davenport
of tho Hurllngtou telegraphed to Thayer
and learned that Knight hud been working
on the railroad grade there, as ho claimed,
and thnt he had been paid off Wednesday.
Tho story ho told the police when taken
Into custody was corroborated lu every
particular.
Tho Uuiilngton company brought Its
bloodhounds from Ltticolu la3t evening mid

MfkiteiiKf r llmtfr'H Story.
ST. JOSKPH, Mo Oct. 4. Express Mes
senger Charles K. lluxter, who killed the
Hurllngtou train robbor near Coun. II
Illuffs, was on tho piiBsenger train that
was held up and robbed ut Hoy's brau h
nenr here, on tho night of January 18.
1S94, when tho safe was looted. Ho has
been ready to uso a gun sluco that night
Baxter said today:
"I was suspicious when tho train slopped
tho first time and when It su.pp 'd the
second time I had my shotun and iar-
trldges ready. 1 got off on tho opposite ,
side from tho robbers and hid behind the '
embankment, which Is seven feet high.
Looking over I could see nil thnt was
going on, hut it was somo time before I
could distinguish botwoon tho robber nnd
tho trainmen. Finally they started away
from tho car, Engineer Donnelly and Fire
man Frank Holm nn In front nnd tho rob
ber behind them, holding a revolver at th ir
heads.
"I fired at him. aiming at his breast.
Ho rolled down tho embaukmcnt on the
oppoelto side of tho track, and as ho fell
ho called: 'Frank, Frank,' twice."
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 4 W. H. MrGen.
conductor of tho train held up near Coun
cil Illuffs last night, describing tho kill
lug of one of the robbers, says
"I found the robber's body lylug flftoen
yards from whom he was nhot. The Hrms
and 1cl'3 wero extended, I recognized tut
I man aa otio whom I had seen nt tho Union
l'acino transfer Junction Junt outside ot
Council U luii's when we were crossluc over
from Omaha. Ho got on the trutu and
when 1 reached my hand for hla fare he
said. 'I am Just going to tho depot. Tina
was customary with employes and 1 passed
him by. It is my belief that he after
wards climbed ou the tender and rude to
the Mosnuito creek lldge, wluro his pal
was lu walling."

ner the United States and the other powers
are to be assured that satisfactory punish-
tn. nt is Indicted.
It Is hoped that Air. congers rtpuen w
ii... ii,iitit ..un if,pi..rt will iniorni the cov-
eminent of the United States In the opinion
which It now shares with the imperial tier
man government that the edict In Ques
tion Is nn important Initial Mep in the di
rection of pence unn oruer in t. num.
lUnartmeiit of State. Wue hlngloii, Oct.
3. 1900.
It Is felt here that tho American nolo
will create a most favorable impression lu
Berlin nnd will prove another bond betwecu
the two governments. It has been recog
nized thul after the Inst note to llermnuy
some friction was manifested In tho Ger
muii prcrs and thero was Ktruo apprehension
that tho accord between Gormany nnd tho
t'nlted States as to the means of dealing
with China might be strained, If not broken.
For that reason tho recent negotiations have
taken on ndded Interest and idgnillcatice aud
tho hearty concur! once whliii hus beeu
brought nbout Is looked upon us little short
ot a iriumpu iu unci initionm tunuij turn
one alike satisfactory to the United Mutes
and to Germany.
Tho Instructions to Minister Conger (lis-
cloao the firmness with which this govern
ment will see that the punishments arc ad
mlnUtercd The chief personages guilty of
tho outrages have been taken Into tonsld
eratlon during tho latest negotiations, and
it can bo stated that the foremoct nmong
them aro Prince Tuun, Chao Shu, Chlao nnd
Kung Yl. Except Tunn, these names have
been llttlo mentioned nmong those China
has marked for punishment, but they aro
nono tho less thoso who had largely tn do
with tho outrnges and they will bo held to
strict accountability.
The German note contained In today's dis
patches concerning the punishment of Chi
nese offenders Is that which Huron Speck
von Sternberg has been earnestly urging on
Secretary Hoy within the last few days and
to which the fnvoralde recponso of the
Fulled States was communicated to thu
Gorman charge d'affaires today.

LONDON. Oct. 4. Kinporor Wllllum's
latest proposition Is regarded ut the for
eign otQce hero uud lu other diplomatic
circles as going further to pnvo tho way
to both an agreement of tho powers and
the success of tho negotiations with China
thau anything which hus jet transpired.
The text of the German proposals has been
wired In Us entirety to Lord Saltbbury, who
Is out ot town.
"The new proposals," said a leading
diplomatist, "uro, of course, tho outcome
of Lord Salisbury's verbal refusal of his
consent lo Germany's first note. Cmperor
Wllllnm has now saved the situation by In
troducing entirely new proposuls, which
will probably obviate Great Ilrltatu hav
ing tn send a formal wrltteu reply to the
previous communication."
At tho Amerlran embassy, whero Mr.
Joseph H. Choate returned this afternoon,
the news of t Lo German proposals was
received with much gratification and as
evidence of the strength of the American
position.

has been Intlmuted would be conceded In

Mayor llurlenbowor today vetoed the ordi
nance granting a C5 per cent Increase in the
price of electric arc lights for tho busi
ness district. The Increase was linked In
consideration of the placing of the light
wires lu underground conduits. The mayor
takes the position that the light eo.-upany
should do this unywuy In accordance with
tho terms of its franchise and then If the
cost lu so great as to prevent provable
operation at tho old rate, appear before
tho council with tho hooks of tho com
pany to show that an Increase in ruto Is
Justified. Ho would not then oppose It.
