The only featuro of tho ballot for United

the rlio of tho Melklejohn column appar
ently at tho expense of Ourrle. Melklejohn
reached thirty-throe, which Is only ono
short of his high-water mark reached by
him onco during .thu early days of tho
voting. On tho other side Currlo's low
water mark Is to lie explained partly by
tho nbsenco of at least two of his support

Jlost of tho bills dratted to carry Into
effect tho vigorous anti-corporation planks
of tho last populist stato platform havo
already met their fate, apparently without
even protest from tho fusion members of
tho legislature. Theso bills covered chiefly
the Itiiltt on tho umottnt recoverable for the
death of employes nnd tho employer's lia
bility for Injury among worklngmcn re
sulting from negligence of fellow work
men. Ono bill remulus yet on employers
liability, Introduced by Mr. Sprccher, which
Is supposed to voice the most modest de
mands of I ho fuslonlsts. It practically re
Intcs only to trainmen employed by rail
way corporations and Imposes complete 11a
ulllty upon tho latter for Injuries re
ceived In tho operation of tho trains, cut
ting out shopmen and construction gangs
Tho fuslonlsts are figuring on making a
stand on this tueasuro and Insisting on a
counting of noses on the record when it
comes up, with n -view to making political
capital for coming campnlgns. Thero ore
also several maximum rate bills to bo dls
posed of, which will doubtless afford tho
opportunity for scvernl fusion statesmen to
distinguish themselves as great corporation
fighters.
Yoim Women Who Limit.
In the neighborhood of a thousand young
women am limping around the Stato unlver
slty campus Just now, the emphasis on tho
limp, vn'rylng with the degree with which
tho operation took. This result has been
produced by the stringent enforcement of
tho rule requiring nil university students
not vaccinated within thrf year to protect
thoniHelves nguinst smallpox by the vac
cine proccsB. Tho original notlco posted re
quired compliance with tho order by Monda
of this week, subject to tho penalty of ex
clusion from thn university grounds nnd
buildings, but yesterday an extenhlon of
time was granted (ill the coming Friday.
Tho young women students, naturally to
th grfat majority, preferred to keep their
Mini Immuculate of sears In anticipation of
junior proms and senior socials, which nre
the great society events In the collcglato
world. Hence tho limps.
Prof. Edward A. Ross ,1s continuing his
lecture courses nt tho university Just tho

rejected tho report of tho executive commit

be ratllled when a full attendance of tho

RAPID CITY. S. D., Feb. 19. (Special.)
A prominent cattleman of this city, re
cently returned from a stock-buying trip
to Texas and Kansas, states that this
spring tho stock growers of those two states
havo tho big end of tho burguln. They
havo as many herds of cattlo ns usual, but
their prices nro so high that ns yet very
few northern men have bought. A good
many of tho Black Hills, .Montana and Wy
oming cattlemen, who havo always bought
In Texas, havo gono thero nnd tried to
mnko deals, but could not. This cattleman
states that tho scarcity of good stock
cattlo In tho United Stntes Is alarming.
A few yer.rs ngo thero were any amount
of old steers on tho western ranges, which
wero turned off when occasion dcmnndotl II,
and tho nverago ago of beef cattlo v.as
placed at throo years. Now practically all
of the old animals have been cleaned up
from tho ranges nnd tho nverago ngo has
been reduced to two yenrs, Tho number
of stock cattlo on tho Black Mills and Wyo
ming ranges was never smaller thnn nt
tho present tlmo. The owners of ranges do
not feel like buying southern stock cattlo
nt the present prices.
Thero seems to bo n tendency on tho
Black Hills ranges this season to buy n
bettor class of stock. Usually", when cnttlo
have been scarce nnd prices high western
cattlemen have takon any kind of un ani
mal, quantity rathor than quality being tho
tiling wanted, It is a fact that n much
belter grade of Btock now roams tho Hills
ranges than ever beforo. The practice of
spaying Heifers on the ranges has nlmost
gono out of date. Cattlemen nre breeding
everything they enn right on tho range
This cattleman Rtates that, In his opinion
It will bo ton years before the supply of
emtio win bo equal to tho demand. Ho
asserts that the demand Is Increasing faster
than the increase In the herds. Not only Is
moro bear enten In tho United Stntes than
for sovcral years past, but n vast amount
more Is shipped out of the country entirely,
Unless tho prices of slock cattlo In Texas
como'down qullo n bit It Is safe to eb
that very fow purchases wllll bo mndo by
South Dakotn, Wyoming and Montana cat
tlomen this spring, Tho prices nro now
as high ns they wero at any tlmo last
year.

Four bodies have bo far been recovered.

to Cumberland. Nearby was that of his
Jupaneso helper. Theso two wcro lying on
their backs close together with their hands
up to their foreheads. There nro no mnrka
of burning and the conclusion thorcfora Is
that they wero sufforated by firedamp. They
had evidently moved but n few feet from
their work when overcome
Owing to tho difficulty of working con
tinuously In tlio atmosphere of tho pit, It
wns several hours after tho discovery of

They wero mnngled almost beyond rrcognt 1

four hours promises to ho the most event
ful slnco thu night of December 18, when
l'dillo Cudahy, i;ou of E. A. Cudnhy, tho
millionaire packer, was carried away lo bs (
held for ransom.
Tho suspect who is to bo takcu In custody
this morning Is employed as coachman t$
J. N. II. Patrick. Ills mmio is John Mur
tie. Indications dcuoto that he wns not nn
nitlve participant In tho kidnaping, but Mint
ho Is tho possessor of guilty knowledge, and
through him tho pollco expect tu gain In

James Callahan, now u prisoner In llio
city Jul!, bus been Identified by Eddlo Cud
nhy, tho victim, us thu .man who stood
guard over him whllo ho wns held for ran
som in tho Melroso Hill rendezvous He l:i
also laid to be the imau who nccoslvil
young Cudahy on tho Btrcet the ovnnlug
of the abduction and represented himself
to lm tho rhcrlff of Sarpy county.'
Cnllnhan, nx-convlct. Is tha ncVr-do-woll
of ti comparatively rich und , rcspcctablo
fumlly.
Cnllnhan wns taken hi titl.npdy hio Sn'- x
urdny afternoon In a 'downtown saloon
Tho nrrest was mado by Detectives
Dwycr nnd Ducbcrry. They took their
prisoner direct to tho oftU-o of the chief,
where a private inquiry was conducted,
Callahan wus thou takcu to tho city Jnl.',
where ho has Blnca been held pending fur
thrr Investigation.
Apprehcnslvo that an lnjustico might bo
dono to nn Innocent man, Chief Donahuu
kept tho arrest secret. The posltlvo Iden
tification which has now been mado by thu
Cudahy lad seems to verify tho chain of
circumstances which led tho pollco depart
ment to Btispect Cnllnlinn.
In addition to tho Identification mndo by
Eddlo Cudahy, tho prisoner has also been
Identified by others.'
I'lltllr Cuiliilry Ih 1'okIIIvp.
Eddlo Cudaby's Identlllcatlon of the sus
pect wiib most positive. Chief Donahuo
gives tho following description of It: "Satur
day afternoon 1 telephoned for Mr. Cudahy
to bring tbo boy down to my office, and
nbout 8 o'clock In tho evening they camo.
I had Callahan hero waiting for thom.
Callahan talked freely and looked tho boy
straight in tho cyo without a. tremor. When
ever tho conversation would lag I would put
in n word to help It along. After about u
half hour I had Callahan taken awny, and
thon young Cudnhy declared without uny
hesitation that this was tha man who lum
Impersonated tho Bherlff from Sarpy county
nnd who had remained In the room lo watch
him whllo ho wns in tho prison house at
.Melroso Hill.
" 'I would never forget that voice,' 'In
boy said, 'and I nlso remember very dl
tlnctly his peculiar manner of protiouiui ;
certain words. In" his present tnlk he us.v
theso samo words nnd pronounced thom lh
same. As I hud several good looks at tho
man whllo ho was guarding me, I can lis
pretty sure that this Is tho man wanted.'
Allhl Miule to Order.
"Another thing that Is a strong point
against Callahan," tho chief continued, "H
tho fact that ho hus already gono to thn
troublo to tlx, up nn alibi, An Innocent
man would hardly have done this. When
ho was asked If ho know anything nbout
tho kidnaping ha answered Mint ho didn't,
and said ho could prove It. 'I wbb nt home
on tbo night It took plnce,' ho snld, 'and
thoro aro half n dozen peoplo who can
swear to It.'
"Dwyer and Dueberry nre both new men
on tho force, and both aro old acquaint
ances of Callahan. Dwyer, I bellovo, went
to school with him. During tha last month
or so they havo been playing In with Cnlln
han pretty btrong. They could do this on
account of tholr long acquaintance with
him without exciting suspicion, so when
thoy wcro off duty and In citizens' clothed
thoy cultivated him thoroughly and became,
rather confidential. They would como to mu
nnd tell mu 11 that he said. After a vtbllu
I began to tear from tholr reports I hat hi
was planning to leave tho city, so I thought
I h?.d better closo In on htm rather than
run tho risk of letting him get away. H
would be a harder man to catch than P. t
Crowo If he over got out of town, ns he'.
not so well known as Crowe. Then I told
,them to bring him in.
"They arrested him Saturday shortly after
noon In a downtown saloon and brought
him hero to this office. Ho had txscn drink
ing heavily nnd was too drunk for mo to
talk with him to any advantage, so I had
hi in taken down to the Mallou and locked
up. During tho evening I wont down and
had a consultation with him. Of course ho
denied complicity In tho ubductlon, but ad
mitted nn acqualntanco with Pat Crowe."
Formnl charges will bo' Died against Cal
lahan today In order to warrant the pollco
In holding htm In Jail. Just what form theso
charges will take la uot known at present,
but this point will bo decided this morn
I Ing, when Chief Donnhuo had his confer
. enco with General John C. Cowln and th
county attorney.
It hi understood that Attorney ricnor.il
Proutt has looked up tho statutes In this
I esse and has found a law undur which Cal-
