to prevent any question as to the effect
the admiral's retirement would have on

In tho Kerr opera house, which wns crowded
lo Its cnpnclty. Peoplo camo from all over
the country to hear Senator William Pair-
banks of Indiana, who was Introduced by
Hon. M. A. Hnrtlgan.
Mr. Pnlrbanks began his address by pay
ing a high compliment to Senator Dietrich
who was upon tho stngo In compnny with
Congressman Burkott of Lincoln. He dli
cussed tbo money question and told bow
McKinley had taken hold of the govern
mental reins ns soon ns ho had been elected
nnd proceeded to put the tariff bill Into
effect and slneo that time prosperity had
reigned throughout tho country. Ho asked
If tho lest flvo years had not vindicated tho
rcpubllcnn party, and wanted to know If tho
remarkable change which camo over tho
county was merely n chnnco change.
The senator took up the Spanlsh-Amcr
lean wnr and showed how tho president
tried to mako peace and how many people
had then urged him against such raethodi.

fenses were lacking nnd our navy wns In

negotiated they treated Spain, not ns
broken-down power, but Just ns If It wcro
one of the greatest ln tho wvld, nnd this
did more to bring praise for tho United
States than did anything elso. It showed
that tho people of the United Stntes were
ns Just and generous ns any that over lived
The senator touched Bryan up for rofcrrlng
to McKinley through tho columns of tho
Coinmoi.er as "emperor." When ho nsked
If wo should pull down tho flag ln the

GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Oct. 17.-(Spe-
clal.) Tho most desporate attempt nt rob
bery that has been committed In this com
munity tor years was at the home of Frank
W, Miles, a railroad man, last night. Mr.
nnd Mrs. Miles hud attended the annual
hall ot the Fraternal Aid ansoulntlon In tho
evening and did not rotlro until 1 o'clock.
Two hours later Mr. Miles was awakened
by a nolsn ln tho room. His llrst Impres
sion was that Mrs. Mllos was up ami ho
called lo her, asking what was tho matter.
Thero was no response. He raised up In
bed and was struck a blow on tho head
which danid him for a moment. Ho mado
further attempts to get up, Intending to go
nftor his revolver, whan ho felt something
thrown In his face. Ho scarcely paid any
nttentlon to tho mnttor and when bo was
out of bed his assailant rotronted. I'pon
going Into another ronnj Mr. Miles found
thcro wero two of tho Intruders. They had
opened the rear door In order to havo a
means oi escape, though they gained their
entrance through n rear window which had
been left unlatched.
Fire Heternl Shut.
When tho burglars dashed out of tho
door Mr. Miles, having found his revolver,
followed them nnd fired several shots. Tho
men rau down tho alloy, ono of them yell
ing at his partner as they did so: "We
will haro to drop It. Wo can't make It."
Lator It wns found that "It" referred to
a wash sack In which were two of Mrs.
Miles' skirts, valued at $15 each, n Jackot
of the same value, a pair of trousers anil
a vest belonging to Mr. Mllos, a gold
watch of tho value of $48, threo rings, onu
diamond worth along $100 and consldorahlo
silverware. Tho sack was recovered. Aside
from this the men secured a pocketbook
with $33 and some change, which was not
recovered.
Mr. Mllos thinks that ono of his shots,
fired In the alley, struck ono of the men,
as ho Jumpod In the air and was assisted
along by his companion, who in turn shot
nt Mr. Miles. Tho Jatlcr stopped on u
piecn of glass In tbo alley and, being bare
footed, had to abandon tho chase.
Wife Alno llurued.
Upon returning to the house he found
his wlfo In hysterics. When Mr. Miles felt
mo liquid thrown In his fnee ho paid llttlo
nttentlon to It In tho excitement, but upon
returning ho found that carbolic acid hail
been thrown all over Mrs. Miles' face. Ho
thon realized what tho prickling, burning
sensation on his neck was. A doctor wns
I called anil it Is believed thcro will bo no
serious results nsldo from tho Intenso pain.
Fortunately Mrs. Mllos bad not awakened
until after her husband hnd got out of bed
after the burglars and thus the aold thrown
In her face did not. affect tho eyes.
There Is no cluo to tho burglars, but It U
believed that It Is the work of homo talent.
Mr. Miles being In tho employ of tho Union
Pacific, had Just two days previously ob
tained bis month's pay.
