CVEBEC, An U. Colonel JohnT- Gay
nor and Captain, Benjamin D. . Green
scored a decisive 'victory today In tbelr
flgbt against . extradition to tha United
Stated where they ere wanted In connec
tion With . alleged frauda In harbor work
for the federal government Involving mil
1 tons if dollars; ' ' '
'Judge Caron,' on the auperlor cpurt, die
charged the. prisoners from the custody of
Sheriff La ngalior of Quebeo and Vale of
.Montreal In whose official care, they have
'.been since,, their aensatlonal arreat In
' tjuebee, )nst,May, A large number of the
prisoner' .friends wer la tb tourt.room
'and tbey heartily congratulated the two
men tipoti their relewe. ..... ,
v Colonel Cayaor and ' Captain Oreen left
,tha court room toon after Judge Caron had
concluded -and proceeded to the -Cheatau
Frontense. Colonid Garner, who la Buffering
'from rheumatism, retired to hla room. It la
understood that the United Bjetes govern
ment will Inatltute new proceedings for
extredltlon, hut up to a late hour no atep
had been taken by counael repreaentlng
the Washington authorities. '
Judgs Caron, who spoke In French, oc
cupied about two hours In delivering '.its
judgment. In reviewing the legal proceed
ilngs Sines' the arrest of the two prleonera
he pointed put ' that their counael had
raised an important question to the ef-
feet that the warrant Uaued by Magistrate
Lafontalne waa Illegal on the ground that It
'did not contain the date nor the year' In
'which the alleged offeree had been com
mitted. He could not presume when the
'offense was committed and it may have
' ' ' 'been previous to the signing of the treaty
, ' between the Culled states and Great
BrUaln and if ao the accused could not be
held, as the treaties had bo retrocative ef-
According to a deposition made In
Montreal . by Mr. Krwln, counael for the
United . Btatea In, May last, continued
Judge Caron, the accused were charged
with fraud committed an or about January
1, 1897. That crime was not Included In the
treatlea and. that ' receiving i money under
false p retensea -.-was only Included in the
treaty of W4. "
This was fatal to the prosecution, and
'the warrant Issued by Judge Lafontalne
' waa defective, aa the offense included there
in did not fall under the extradition treaty;
.consequently tha. arrest was illegal and
the aocused must.be set at liberty.
- Nat Part of tha Treaty.
After citing authorities In support of his
decision Judge Caron concluded aa follows:
Considering that the warrant In virtue
of which the petitioner are detained con
i talne no date of tha commission of the
I offense whereor tne petiiiuuvia in
cused; considering that in virtue of the
treatlea of extradition existing between
, Great Britain and the United Btatea, It
la positively provided that these treaties
shall have no retroactive effect for of
fenser committed before their passage;
considering that the allegation of the date
of the Commission of J he offense Is in con
sequence 'essential-to give jurisdiction of
the commlpaloner to Iw&ue a warrant of ar
rest; considering furthermore that It Is not
alleged In the warrant that the offense
for which said warrant has been Issued
Is one of criminal participation, -t punish
able by the laws of both countries, which
is a condition required by tha last para
graph of the first article of the treaty of
li'JO; considering that the Information, irw
dlctments and true-bfl la, etc., produced for
the IhuI of the warrant should show that
the offense of which tha petitioners are
charged and for which they would have to
stand their trials In the United Btatea
should extradition be granted, are not
within the terms of the treaties of extra
dition between Great Britain and the
United States and disclose no offense com
mitted by the prisoners fot which they
cculd be extradited under the said treaties;
considering In consequence that the war
rant Issued by the said Ulrlo Lafontalne
In hla above atated capacity Is null and il
legal and could not warrant the arrest of
the petitioner, the court rejects the said
motion of the United States Intervening
party, to quash the aald write of habeas
corpus addressed to me on June 21, last, to
' the aatr) C. A. Valee, doth declare the ar
rest and detention, of the said petitions
illegal and doth annul and Set aside the
said warrant of arreat. '
It la ordered ttuu the petitioners be
liberated and discharged from the custody
of C. A. 'Valee, jailer of Montreal, and
of Charlea Langellev. Sheriff of Quebec,
who have present custody of them, and
this order will be the warrant of the eald
C. A. Vale and the eald Charlea LaneUer
for the complete and immediate release of
. the prisoner.

ANOTHER ARREST MADE ON STATEMENT
C'hlraco Police Kndeavor te Worn

' " Thompson, nellevlna; They' Are
ea Traeh af Marderer,
CHICAGO, Aug. IS. The police obtained
their first clue of value In the Bartholin
case tonight and developments that will
go far toward solving the mystery are sx
pected within twenty-four hours.
Inspector Hunt late tonight found a
woman who declared that at daybreak on
the morning following tbe night on which
Minnie Mitchell disappeared in company
wltb William Bartholin, she saw Oscar
Thompson, driver for a laundry company,
and who I now held in custody by the
police; John daffy, the barn boae for the
am company, and a man wearing a
Panama hat and a dark sack coat, in front
of ths lanndry.
While the police have always contended
that Thompson, who was a boarder In tbe
bouse of Mrs. Bartholin, bad knowledge of
her. death, they had not suspected that be
was ' In any way connected with the mur
der of Minnie Mitchell. The woman, tow
ever,' was positive in her statement that
she saw Thompson and CI a fry In company
with the third man at the time and place
mentioned. She knew both of them and
declared that there was no chance of her
being mistaken. Tbe description of tbe
third man So far as It describes anybody, is
a description of Bartholin the night he
Was last seen with the Mitchell girl.
Officers were at once sent In search of
daffy and be waa taken Into custody with
out difficulty. The police will talk to him
later.
' Thompson la Svreatboz.
Thompson was then called into the office
of tbe inspector and Informed that be bad
been seen with Claffy and Bartholin on
the morning, following the night of, th
killing of the Mitchell girl. The informa
tion had a marked effect upon Thompson
and eeemed for a minute to be on the
point of collapse. He rallied, however, and
declared that be was not there and knew
nothing of the caae In any way. The police
pressed him bard, but be would not .alter
bis statement, although he was plainly
much worried. After tb interview In
spector Hunt declared that hs was more
than ever Impressed with tbe opinion that
Thompson bad guilty knowledge of the
murder of Mrs. Bartholin and thought that
before long be will weaken and tell what
be knows.
"I cannot give the name of the woman
who gave me the information abotrt ths
three men," said the inspector, "but' I
am positive that she told me the truth.
She knows Thompson and Claffy personally
and there Is not one chance in a thousand
of ber being mistaken. We bad not sus
pected Claffy of being In the case at all,
and ber statement that ah positively recog
nized him makes It impossible that she
bad bav been mistaken regarding Thomp
son whom aha knows as well as She knows
Claffy. The description of the third man
fits Bartholin so far as It goes and I fee
very confident that we are ' on tbe right
track and will have the strings all in our
hands before very long."
The police during the day bad received
the usual number of clews concerning the
whereabouts of Bartholin but none of them
amounted to anything. They admitted to
night that tbey did ' Dot know - What bad
become, of him. ..:,''
,' Thompson SIfa;b4y Weakens. .
The Woman, tonight was" confronted" with
Thompson aad, while he was forced to ad
mit .that be knew ber, and she knew him.
he denied her atory. The woman declared
that, a- light colored cap, which Thompson
had attempted te throw away, was ode
that he wore at tbe time ah aaw-hlm under
the electric light.
When asked why be threw that cap
away te wear the one he had on when ar
rested, be hesitated, and then said:
"Give me until tomorrow. I will talk
with you then."
This plea was taken as an Indication that
Thompson's wall of stolidity was broken
down at laat by tbe strong evidence be
had -been confronted with, and tbe polloe
think he will tell all he know tomorrow.
They expect be will confess te a share in
the murders. -
'Claffy,' after .Thompson, was confronted
with the woman In black. He at first said
he did not know ber. -but immediately ad
mitted tbat he did when she called him
by name. Claffy is a man about 45 year
of age. Tbe - woman repeated the story
in exactly the came way she told it at
first. He dented being wltb Thompson and
Bartholin at. the time and waa immedi
ately locked up again.

PLEASANT FOOD. .
The Kind That Bring Health to

.When people have ruined health by ths,
use ot Improper food, and then change . to
the right kind and get well, tbey feel like
shouting it from the housetops.
"I wish I had power to telL every, follow
being who 1 suffering th story of my de
liverance and persuade them to avail them
selves of the same means that I used," says
a lady of North Cuba, N. Y. "I am 61 years
old. From earliest girlhood It bas seemed
Imperative during, the waking hours for me
to be constantly at work. In the getting
up of my meals tbe paramount considera
tion was pleasing the appetite rather than
the preservation of health.
"As was -to be expected, years of toil and
careless living resulted In the gradual
'breakdown' of my whole system; I did not
realise it until three years ago, when I wa
ucb a wreck, mentally and physically, tbat
life was a burden. I had frequent attack
of severe headaches, accompanied by nausea
terrible to endure, sluggish liver and kid
neys, circulation weak, appetite gone, di
gestion seriously impaired; I was on the
verge of total nervous prostration and my
condition seemed hopeless.
"A friend, who had suffered from atoraach
trouble and Indigestion, told roe of t
great benefit aha bad received from Grape
Nuta, and I decided to try tha food, and I
am thankful for the Impulse tbat led me
to do it. I began by using three teaspoon
fuls of Grape-Nuts softened in milk three
times a day. In a week I was conscious of
renewed vigor. My ache and pains les
sened, the nervousness disappeared, tbe fog
that bad enveloped my brain and obscured
my memory waa lifted, and la plaC of rest

"I continued to improve uatll at the end
of three weeks I could add to my breakfast
and supper a baked apple or a dish U
soms kind of fruit, and ate more hearty
food at the midday meal. I have bad no
relapse; my recovery of health. Is of con
stant surprise and unbounded thankfulness
to me and mine. I have not found tbe foun
tain of eternal youth, but I bav found

Bet Himvln Connection
with Disk,
The sensation ef the meeting of the Fifth
Ward Republican club last night wa the.
action of Judge Blair In coming out openly
against Mercer. Thl pillar ot republican
Ism, seasoned by decade or experience
with the party In Omaha, when called npon
t (peak In advocacy of hi own candidacy,
declared: "
"I am not here to talk for myself. I
came to hear these congressional candi
date. 1 bav beard the three who are
present, and I wish now to say that no
man should own a seat In congress., I .be
lieve that 'the time has come tor us to ask
ourselves, 'Isn't five term enough for any
one?' It takes some courage for ma to say
thl under the circumstances, candidate as I
am for the Judicial nomination, but I mean
it," . . .
For that sentiment round after round of
applause was given to- Judge Blair.
The R. 8. V. P. was totally In gored by
David H. Mercer. He and other republican
congressional candidates were Invited out
te Sixteenth and Cortry street toa address
the club along the lines suggested by
their approaching campaign. A large and
enthustaatlc body of men was gathered In
Young' hall for this affair, but "Our
Davs" came not. Neither did he send any
regret, make any excuse. for not appear
ing, or. In fact, recognize the invitation of
the club in any way.
Doesn't Help Dave Any.
Tbe absence of Mr. Mercer, though ex
pected, was the occasion of much comment
on the part of those present, and It also af
forded material for a deadly parallel which
speakers other than the three- additional
congressional 'aspirant did not fall to
mak use of In comparing the merit of thl
trio with those possessed by tb absent
brother. ' .'
Three , candidates for eongress, Messrs.
J. P. Breen, N. C. Pratt and B. J. Cornish,
were there In tbe flesh and in the spirit .as
well, and made rousing speeches one and
all. So did several candidate for minor
office, Including Judge Blair, Judge Holm"
and A. C. Troup, for the district bench,
and Debord for county attorney.
Mr. Breen said he bad been accused of
an agreement with, another candidate not
to come north of. Leavenworth street la
thl campaign. He waa at Young's hall to
disprove the existence of such a compact.
The speaker, touched largely upon the topic
of Issues. "There are no real Issues In
thla campaign," aald be, "none of real na
tional Import upon which honest and sin
cere men can be divided." Mr. Breen thea
exposed fallacies of a few of tbe alleged
"Issues", set up by the democrats, dwell
ing chiefly upon that of militarism, or mili
tary despotism.
"But for all that we must not overlook
the subject of Issue In thl fight," said Mr.
Pratt, taking up th thought at tbat point.
"We must not forget that the democratic
party can fight harder' without an lasue than
any other organisation In existence. Those
people do not need an Issue. In fact, their
Issue baa, alwaya been -to be against every
thing -the, republicans .were for." .-v.
Candidates Saoald Come Ont. -
, E;..JV Cornish said be liked tbe Idea 'of
getting before t,he people' "A.ll candidate'
ahXMild'f he- saldJ-.'i-They -should come out
and be meaaured and weighed ;andv looked
over thoroughly. No man la ao great that
he can' afford to stand aloof from "his con
stituent. For myself," he continued,-"I
feel a if we were like race horse before' an
unfair judge.. We are all scoring time and
again,-but the man who Is handling tbe
favored horse doea not give the nod to show
tbat be ia satisfied with his position, and
so we are called back time and again, and
none of ua knows when that Judge will let
us go." i
W. I. Klerstead withdrew from tbe race
for tbe nomination for county commis
sioner from the Third district. He said
he had a good position now and he In
tended to hold onto it. So be wished
to get out of the way early and let other
candidates get busy.
Howard Bruner resigned a treasurer of
tb olub because he wa about . to mora
from the ward. He waa tendered a vote of
thank for efficient service for two year,
and also for turning over a balance at tha
end ot efch year. Frank Dewey wa elected
to aucceed him. Chairman Christie presided
at the meeting.
