PENSION FOR A SOUTH DAKOTA MAN
BADLY INJURED IN A ROW
J. M. Francke Severely Beaten by Fo
ltre Officer la Nebraska.
Clr.
NEBRASKA CITT, June 27. (Special
Telegram.) There was a row at the Mattes
Brewing company's garden last night and
because of a general mlsunderstaLdlng one
man was badly injured.
A large crowd was attracted to the
ground by the band concert, and everything
was quiet and orderly until nearly 11
o'clock, when three young men, H. Hall,
F. Foster and J. M. Francke, who have been
here representing a Topeka nursery, began
scuffling among themselves. George
Thomas, a special policeman on duty In the
garden, came up and told them tbey woul 1
have to desist. They then began to argue
the matter with Thomas.
Francke, who was standing to one side,
came up and demanded to know what
Thomas had to do with it. Without show
ing his authority the officer pushed Francke
away and told him he wanted no interfer
ence from him. A fight ensued. In which
the officer appears to have got the worst
of It, He finally pulled a gun and struck
Francke three times on the head, knocking
him down. He then called for help and
started to take him to Jail.
When about two blocks from the garden
Francke's strength gave out and he fell to
the ground. He was then turned over to
his friends, who called a hack and had him
taken to a hotel. A physician was called
and dressed the wounds for the injured
man. He was only semi-conscious during
the night and at times he was attacked by
severe convulsions. Today he la resting
easier and it la thought that be will come
around all right.
Had the officer known that the men were
but fooling, or had they known that be was
an officer, the trouble would have been
avoided. Francke's father waa telegraphed
for and will probably bo here tonight. .
FIRE TAKES BOYS' DORMITORY

Fire.
la
BELLEWE. Neb.. June 27. (Special.)
Flnlay hall, a three-story frame building,
sued as a boys' dormitory at the Bellevue
college, waa totally destroyed by fire this
morning. The building wss being repaired
to be ready for the reception of students
next fall, the fire being discovered by some
men who were shingling the roof. It wss
then confined to the attic, but with the
limited facilities for fighting fire, the men
were unable to extinguish the blaze. Just how
It started no one seems to know. Some of
the men had been In tbe attic, where the
blase originated. Just a short time before,
but aay they had nlether light nor matches
and spontaneous combustion or rata and
matches Is the most probable theory.
The planoa and most of the furniture
In the building were removed and Lawrle
hall, which stands near the burned struc
ture, was saved by bard work. The build
ing was insured for $8,000, and the loss Is
somewhat in excess of that figure.
Flnlay ball was one of the oldest build
ings in the college group, and was named
after Colonel Flnlay of Klttanlng. Pa., a
patron of the college.

TO DECLARE SEAT VACANT
Missouri Contest from the Twelfth District
, to Be Considered.
SMITH OF IOWA OPENS THE DEBATE
Mark taaalannaa Coaaent legislation
ia Hoaae la Blocked by Mr. Moon
of Teaneasee, Who Makea
Objectives.
WASHINGTON. June 27 The house today
began consideration of the contested elec
tion rase of Horton against Butler, from
the Twelfth Missouri district. In this case
the majority of the committee found that
the election esse was so tainted with fraud
as to make it Invalid and recommended
that the seat be declared vacant. The
minority recommended that Mr. Butler, the
sitting member, had been legally seated,
and that he retain his seat. Three hours
debate on a aide were allowed.
The speakers today were Messrs. Smith
of Iowa and Bartholdt of Missouri, in favor
of the majority, and Mr. Bowie of Alabama
in favor of the minority report. The vote
will be taken tomorrow.
Some odds and ends were cleared up dur
ing tbe early portion of the session. Re
quests for unanimous consent, for which
there is always a great demand during
the closing days of a session were sud
denly blocked today by Mr. Moon of Ten
nessee, who told his friends that he would
object to all such requests until he wss
recogniied to ask consideration of the bill
to give the Indian Territory a territorial
form of government.
The house disagreed to the senate amend
ments to the general deficiency appropria
tion bill and sent ths bill to conference.
Mr. Alexsnder of New York ssked if a
separate vote would be allowed on the
Buffalo exposition bill. Mr. Cannon replied
that he had no power to prevent a vote, and
if the aenate was in earnest in Insisting
on the exposition amendments he bad no
doubt the house would be called upon to
act. He said, personally, he would oppose
the acceptance of those amendments.
Messrs. Cannon of Illinois. Barney of
Wisconsin and Livingston of Georgia were
appointed conferees.
A resolution was adopted calling on the
secretary of war for Information as to tbe
number of appointments to the army
since April 1. 1898, together with the num
ber of officers who have been retired within
one year of their promotion, and the addi
tional cost of such retirement at tbe higher
grade.
The senste's request for a conference on
the Philippine civil government bill was
agreed to, and Messrs. Cooper of Wisconsin,
Payne of New York, Crumpacker of Indiana,
Jones of Virginia and Maddox of Georgia
were appointed conferees.
Moon Blorks Legislation.
Half a doien requests for unanimous
consent met with objection from Mr. Moon
of Tennessee, who announced quietly to his
friends that as long as he was a member
of tbe bouse he intended to object to
every request for unanimous consent until
he was given recognition to move the pas
sage of the bill giving a territorial form
of government to the Indian territory- He
thus blocked the fond hopes of many mem
bers and they crowded about and appealed
to him not to atand 'n the way of pet
measures.
A bill was passed to amend the revenue
laws ao a lo place perique tobacco on a
similar footing with other tobaccos regard
ing packagea.
Mr. Taylor of Ohio then called up the
contested election esse of Horton against
Butler, from the Twelfth. Missouri district.
In which tbe majority reported that there
was no valid election and In favor of de
claring the seat vacant.
Mr. Richardson raised the question of
consideration against the case and stated,
despite the speaker's ruling, that the mo
tion was not debatable, that Mr. Butler, tbe
contestee, who is a democrat, was alck In
bed. He appealed to tbe other side to vote
against considering the election case In the
interest of pension legislation.
On a rising vote the house decided to con
sider the case, 114 to 88. The ayes and
nays were demanded.
The bouse voted 142 to 111 to consider the
resolution. No agreement was made for a
final vote.
Mr. Smith of Iowa opened the debate on
behalf of the majority report to declare tbe
seat vacant.
After reciting the conditions of the elec
tion Mr. Smith asserted that to allow such
sc election to stand would be to serve no
tice on the people of St. Louis that their
efforts to purify the ballot box are futile.
At the conclusion of Mr. Smith's remarks
it waa agreed that debate on tbe case
should continue for six hours. Mr. Bowie
of Alabama then opened In behalf of the
contention of tbe minority of the commit
tee that Mr. Butler, the sitting member,
was elected and entitled to retain his aeat.
He declared that there was no competent
evidence in tbe record which remotely
tended to invalidate a sufficient number of
votes to make Mr. Butler's majority even
doubtful.
Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri, the last speaker
today, aupported the majority report.
Without completing his speech he yielded
the floor and at 5:15 p. m. the house adjourned.

'It is with pleasure that I give Peruna
my hearty endorsement. I have found

The only safe course to take is to keep
