NEW CLEW IN CUDAHY CASE
(Continued from First Page.)
'tigers who were on the car were so badly
Beared that they could do nothing toward
helping Pollock, and two of them, while
the shooting was In progress, had leaped
0ff the rapidly moving train
The package taken from Pollock con
tallied diamonds of tho estimated value of
$15,000. The robber Jumped from tho train
about G o'clock p. n., when It was dark,
ana no soon disappeared in tho grass ana
weeds.
Ho wore a small mask and a false beard
of black hulr when he mado tho attack.
Pollock was taken back to Omaha and re
mained In a hospital until he recovered.
Frank Shercleff was subsequently ar
rested In Lcadvtlle on suspicion of being
the robber. Pollock went to Lcadvtlle and
Identified htm tn tho Lcadvllle Jail. Those
who were on tho train at tho time wore so
much excited and scared that they could
not bo relied upon for Identification. Shcr-

Afer he had been indicted a gang o:
thieves was put on trial In Tcrro Haute,
Ind., and among them was one Frank
Bruce. They wero accused of safe-blowing.
Robert Fleming, a dcctecttvc, clniiied that
Druco was the man who robbed Pollock
and tried to securo tho reward offered for
his arrest. Pollock went to Tcrro Haute
nnd declared that Druce was not tho robbor.
Dcsplto this, when the trial of Shercleff
camo up In September, 1893, an effort was
mane iu snow mat urucc ana noi onercicu
wns mo real ronucr.
There was some strong evidence In favor
of Shorclcff. Pollock positively identified
him, but two women who wero on tho train
sworo that Shercloff was not tho robbor.
One John Hollcnsworth ot Lcadvllle tes
tified that ho knew Shercleff well; that he
had known him tn Montana five years be
fore; that ho saw htm at Aurolln, la . Oe
tober 23, 1892, and that Shercleff went to
Lendvlllo from there. He said that Shcr
cleft was In Lcadvllle on November 4, tho
day of tho robbery; that h came to Hoi
lennworth and deposited money with him
nnd that ho left Leadvllle on November
10. Tho Jury deliberated three hours and
found Shorclcff guilty, and Judgo Van
Wagenen sentenced him to seventeen years
In the penitentiary.
Frank Shercleff said he was a native of
Cnnadn, 22 years old, and that his father
nnd mother lived In Pittsburg. Ho pleaded
for n light sentence on nccount of 111
health and beforn sentence was pronounced
again protested his Innocence. Thero hod
been a considerable reward offered for tho
arrest and conviction ot tho robber and a
great many believed that there was reason
for somo doubt that Shercleff was the
right man. Tho claim was mado by the
prosecution thnt tho effort to fasten tho
crime on the Indiana man was only a ruse
by friends of Shercloff notably Pat Crowo
to divert suspicion from him. Pollock
never wnvcred In his testimony against
Shercleff. Shi rcloff was also called Ed
Durko and Kid McCoy, and It was said he
was one of n gang of gamblers and thieves
In Omaha and Denver.
Dlnmnnilii nnd Jewel Stolen.
Two weeks nftor the robbery of Pollock'
November 24, 1892 diamonds nnd Jewels
representing a vnluo of $10,000 wero stolen
from tho store of S. Jenasen, on Fnrnara
street near Thirteenth. A man who had
previously paid a deposit of $2 on a mantel
clock entered according to appointment on
tho morning ot this day and on some pro
text cnlled tho watchmaker, who was alone
In tho store, to tho rear of the room, whero
ho engaged him In conversation at a point
whero It wns tmposslblo for him to seo tho
front door. While this tnlk was In progress
the nccompllco of tho robber entered, passed
bohlnd the counter nnd began selecting the
most costly Jewels from their senses, going
about his work with the utmost delibera
tion.
Second Jewelry Itolilierj".
Sovcral customers entered while ho was
thus engaged, but paid no attention to
him, doubtless mistaking him for a clerk.
These waited until such tlmo as ho would
bo at leisure to wait upon them.
It is supposed that tho man who entorcd
first must have given n signal, for his pal
suddenly left off his occupation of sacking
diamonds nnd leisurely passed out of the
front door. Tho other followed Imme
diately,
As soon as the watchmaker glanced at
tho display ot Jewols tn tho showcase he
saw the empty trays and realized what had
taken placo. Ho tried to run after the
robbers, but found his exit disputed by a
heavy walking stick thrust through tho
handle of tho door on tho outside. Defore
he could get out of tho store by the rpnr
way the thieves wero well out of sight. No
arrests were ever made as tho result of
this robbery.
Reports ot this crime, brought forth from
tho archives, have been studiously reviewed
by the police and detectives during the
last few days, They have also studied
copies of reports on fllo at the headquarters
of tho Jewelers' Protective association of
the famous Pollock robbery. What thn
result of this research b they decline to
state, but It must bo that they havo found
matter to warrant a search for Shercleff,
for they have been sending out scores of
telegrams to the various chiefs of police
ot the country In an nttempt to locate him.
Tho Idwa authorities say ho dropped out of
sight about two months ago.

Whllo Mr. Dclasco chooses to speak of
"Madamo nutterfly" on the play bills as a
"charming story," there la little in his
dramatization of Mr. Long's hook to Jus
tify this assertion. It Is an eya-molstcn-Ing
tragedy nnd ono of tho saddest to bo
found upon the stage today. They aro few,
Indeed, with even a spark of pathos In their
nature that would find anything "charm
ing" In tho story of this unfortunato little
Japanese girl, the social customs of whoso
country permits her to be purchased by an
officer In the American navy, as he would
a hat or coat, and as readily cast off!
On the other hand the ploy is an excep
tionally strong one, from n dramatic point
ot view, and to ono who enjoys the drama
is an Intensely Interesting ono throughout.
In the cast aro none but capablo people,
which necessarily must be, for In tho hands
of others It would be relegated to farce.
Tho major portion of the work falls to Miss
Dergere, who acquits herself creditably In
deed In tho title role. The play serves as
a curtain raiser to "Naughty Anthony."

Thero Is an opportunity for a wldo dlf
ference of opinion as to the moral propriety
of David Hclosco's mucb-talked-about
'Naughty Anthony." There Is nothing In
Its themo that Is distasteful, nor Is there
anything In Its lines that would offend, but
tn action It Is decidedly risque at times,
For Instance, when one of Prof. Anthony
Depew'i moral culture pupils complains to
htm that mca follow her upon the streets
and particularly upon rainy days and the
professor asks her to give n practical dem
onstration ns to the manner In which she
lins her skirts In order to nvold the mud,
thero Is a display of lingerie thnt might
shock a Sunday school superintendent, but
would please tho average man about town.
And then when the feminine model, who
tries on silk stockings In a ladles' French
hoso stole, to demonstrate their beauty o
customers, shows tho Salvation Army las
sies, who think there Is n "field" for their
work In such a place, how beautiful tholr
limbs would look encased In high-colored
silks, there might be women In the audience
who would hide their faces behind their
fans In order not to display nn unustinl
amount of color.
There Is no gainsaying the fact, how
ever, that the play Is cleverly handled by
clever people. It Is full of good brisk
action from start to finish. There are no
dull moments, ond a number of splendid
character studies add to Its Interest. The
production ns a whole Is a pretentious one.
Charles E. Evans, who returns to tho
stago after a retirement of several seasons
spent tn active theatrical management, as
sumed tho title role. His recoptlon at
both Sunday performances proved that play
goers have not forgotten the hllnrlous days
when ho and his friend Hoey wero the
bright nnd shining star In "A Parlor
Match." Mr. Evans has a congenial role
and does not at any tlmo miss nn oppor
tunity to creato a laugh. Thero Is quite a
chasm between tragedy and farce-comedy,
but Valcrlo Dergoro flnds little dlniculty In
bridging it and handles the rolo ot Cora,
the stocking model, with u deftness that
proves her a comedienne of brilliancy. Dan
Mason, with his Uavarlan dialect, who was
last seen luro with Willie Collier In "A
Man from Mexico," docs a character hit
worthy of spcclnl mention, J. H. Drnd
bury, who has 'tho part of Adam Dudd, tho
valentine maker, Is remembered for his
clever charactor work as one of tho wlso
men of Dawson In Frank Mayo's "Puddln-
head Wilson," when Mr. Mayo presented the
piece hero himself several seasons ago.

"FulKorn'M Slurs"
This week's vaudeville bill at the Croglh
ton Orpheum Is furnished by Fulgorn's
Stars and Is ono ot average merit through
out. Like that of HopklnB, tho name Fill
gora has boon before tho public In connec
tion with vaudeville for many years and It
stands tor the best thero Is to be hud In this
line ot entertainment. Mr. Fulgorn's people
have amused Omaha audiences on several
nccnslons beforo and tho character of his
entertainment is too well known to neccssl
tate , cxtendod comment at this time. Of
course, upon his previous visits to this
city ho had had different pooplo and dlf
fcrenet acts. This season he has banded
together nn all-star aggregation of vaudc
vllllans, headed by tho world's famous Jug
gler, Kara. A number of Knra's feats are
marvelous and It is safo to say that ho has
no cqunl In this line of work. Mr, and Mrs
Arthur Slddous, tho originators of any num
ber of funny Bayings, havo a place In the
bill and offer a rural playlet during which a
running fire of repnrteo Is kept up and the
audlcnco finds plenty to laugh nt. Polk and
Kolllns, whose faces aro not unfamiliar to
patrons of the Orpheum, demonstrate, con
cluslvcly that the bnnjo Is something moro
thn n a negro Instrument, suitable only for
"hoo down" music, by plnylng several dlf
flcult classical selections. Tom Lowls and
Sam Ryan, veteran exponents of tho art of

The passage of tho nrmy reorganization
bill by the senate hns much Interest for
three of the officers stationed at tho head-
quarter of the Department of the Mis
souri, Colonels Hathaway and Kimball and
Major Wilson. Tho bill, It Is understood
at headquarters, carries with It n provision
whoroby officers who served In the civil
war and hnve continued In tho service may
rctlro at n grade In ndvanco ot the one
they hold nt the time of retirement.
The three officers named aro the only ones
at headquarters to bo affected. Of these
Colonel Kimball, surgeon general ot the
department, Is the senior, having nbout one
year to serve before ho will be retired
under tho age limitation. Colonels Kim
ball and Hathaway rank ns lieutenant col
onels. Compurntlt el- I'etr Concerned.
In the entire nrmy there are but 268 offi
cers affected by the provisions of tho law.
Many of these aro colonels who will' bo
permitted to rotlro with the rank of brig
adier general, making an opportunity for
tho advancement of the lieutenant colonels
to tho higher grndo and giving them nn
opportunity to follow tn thu wnko ot their
predecessors, It Is stated on good authority
that ns soon ns tho retirement of higher
ofllcers will permit the elevation of the
officers at thesa headquarters to u higher
grado they will take advantago of the pro
visions of the law.
Younger officers In the service look with
pleasure upon tho pnssngc of this pro
vision. During tho tlmo from the clofe
of tho civil war to the outbreak of tho war
with Spain promotions wero slow, but the
latter event mudo them moro rapid. Tho
younger set of ofllcers hnvo had n taste of
rapid advancement nnd do not like the Idea
of settlliifc down to the slow advancements
of the tegular service. The retirement of
theso 200 officers will make places to bj
lilted and will result In promotions all along
tho lino. For this reason every ofllcer In
the nrmy favors the plan, and everyone
interested Bays that it will In many cases
improve tho sorvlco by putting younger
and moro nctlvo ofllcers In places now held
by men who should bo given nn opportunity

The telegraph operator ot tho future may
be any person who can use a typewriter, 'f
the Pcurno printing telegraph machine docs
what is claimed for It. -The exhibition of
the mnchlno given yesterday In the offices
of tho Western Union Telegraph company
proved that tho Inventor has his machlno
so nearly perfected that it will soon bo on
tho market.
To describe the apparatus In n few words
tho sender consists of tho keyboard of
typewriter nnd tho receiver Is a typewriter,
minus the keyboard. Tho keys of tho re
ceiver are connected with batteries which
ransmlt u current wnlch passes through n
eclecter and switch nnd Is so regulated
that when It reaches tho receiver It prints
tho letters which oro struck by the
operator.
In the opinion of tho Inventor tho now
system will not reduce tho number of oper
itors employed by telegraph companies, but
will lucreaso the amount ot business nnd
make tho work of the employes much easier,
Frank D. Pearnc, tho Inventor of the new
machine, li scarcely 2,i years old. For
several years he was employed by tho Iowa
Telephone company as superintendent of
construction nn.l made his headquarters in
Davenport. During the last eighteen
months hn Ihih spent must of his time In
Chicago nnd Syracuse, N. Y., whero the
modols for his apparatus were made. He
Is u brother of Attorney W. S. Pcnruc of
Grand Island.
In November of 1899 Mr. Pcarno camo to
the conclusion hat tclephono nnd tele
graph wires should bo used for moro than
one purpose nt tho snme time and began
experiments along that line. Until Jan
uary of 1900 ho was unsuccessful. After
working late one night Mr. Pearno went to
bed much discouraged nnd felt Into a
troubled sleep. At midnight he awoke, with
tho Idea In his mind which hns slnco been
developed Into nn almost perfected sys
tem.

"I knew ns soon as I woko up that I he.il
the solution of tho problem, said Mr.
Pcarno, "and I mnde haste to write It down
on paper beforo It escaped me. The next
day I began work on tho apparatus, which
proves that it was not un ldlo dream which
camo to mo that night. My Idea was to
send electric currents through a scries of
olectro-magnets, over which nre Iron arma
tures suspended by springs of different ten
sion. Different armatures respond to cur
rents of different strength und in this
manner It is posslblo to regulate tho typo
which answers the stroke of tho sender."
Tho sender ot the Penrne machine Is
very slmplo, nil of tho complicated appa
ratus bolng nt the receiving station. Horo
tho ciirront' transmitted over tho wire Is
passed Into electro-magnets, which aro
called selectors. An armature responds to
the current and sends It Into an apparatus
called an Intermediate switch. This has
four arms with platinum points, which aro
so Influenced by tho current that they como
Into contact with one of thirty-alx points,
which represent tho characters of the type

which bear the typo.

GRIP IS EPIDEMIC!
Grip is everywhere. The papers tell us thero nre
two million Aiuerieuus now suffering with "grip" (or
La Grippe, ns the doctors cnll it) and what is worse it
is more violent in its character tlmy in the past, as n
much greater percentage of vicliins are dying from its
effects. Grip attacks the old and the young, tlie hard
workers and the people of leisure, the rich and the
poor, everybody in fact, whose system is not in perfect
order. If tho bowels are constipated or irregular,
the Kidneys are aillug, the blood impure, tlie
liver torpid, the digestion weak or disordered, it pro
duces a condition very favorable to "grip," and such
people nre its victims. A little cure will render the
body proof against attnek; that is to sny, the impuri
ties in blood, liver and bowels can be driven out
through the use of Prickly Ash Bitters, the great rem
dy for cleansing and regulating the system. This splen
did remedy purifies the bowels, strengthens the kid
neys, renovates tho liver and blood and tones up the
digestive organs. In short, it prevents "grip" by put
ting the system in good condition. And us a help, in
oases where the disease has already fastened itself on
the body, there is nothing better. It flushes the sow
ers of the body and stimulates the vital organs so that
nature is assisted to more quickly hrow off the dis
ease. Sold nt Drug Stores.

Impossible to tap a wire and tako off re

than those used In ordinary telegraphy that
It Is not likely that much wire tnpplng will
go on under the new system.
"Business men who use the wires to any
great extent can have their confidential
clerks send messages to correspondents
who are equipped with receivers. My ma
chines will do away with tho necessity of
having telegrams pass through tho hnr.ds
of operators and messenger boys."
Omnhn-KiiiiNnN City Wire.
In the test made yesterday It wns the
Intention to use n 1,000-mile wire, but u
rush of business compelled tho uso of the
Omaha-Kansas City loop, comprising 434
miles of wlro. Added to this was 120 lnlles of
resistance, making n total of C54 miles.
The test was satisfactory. A current of
twenty-four volts was used nt first, but
was Increased to olghly-flvo volts whoii
messages were sent nt full speed, The
significance of this lies In tho fact that
tho telegraph company uses 170 volts on
tho Kansas City lino alone, the test thus
showing thnt the new apparatus can be
operated with less than half tho power re
quired by tho old-stylo telagraph.
The Western Union operators wero
amazed at tho performance ot tho appa
ratus. Many of them had frooly predicted
that It would fall to work, and wero sur
prised to sec as much accomplished on a
C54-mllc wlro as could bo done on a ten
foot wire.
A second long dlstunco test will bo made
In tho Western Union ofllco this week, If
tho necessary arrangements can bo made,
and tho longest wlro avallablo will bo used.
Frank D. Pearno, tho Inventor, and W. S.
Penrne, tho promoter, will soon lenve for
Chicago, whero an exhaustive test will be
mado beforo tho stockholders of tho com
pany, nnd later another exhibition will bo
given In New York city.
