BOSTON, July 10 (Special Correspondent
nee of The Bee.) The delegation from Ne
braska haa been getting into lomi compll
ceflona within the laat two daya. On
Wednesday the members met at the Vic
toria hotel and elected Mr. Crabtree as ap
pointee to the national nominating commit
tee, but when President Kllot made the
official announcement of the elections he
substituted Carroll O. Pearse for Mr. Crab
tree, and thus angered the Nebraska dele
gation. When the nominating committee
met Mr. Peurse, accompanied by Mr. Crab
tree, went to the place oeslgnated and
tried to straighten mattera out. They could
not do so, however, and Mr. Pearse went
to as the appointee from the Nebraska
delegation. The meeting wss rather ani
mated and after some discussion Mr. Bear
son, superintendent of schools In Wahoo,
Neb., was elected one of the vice presi
dents of the National Educational associa
tion. ,
The last two days, Thursday and Friday,
th," Nebraska men and women have come
In for their share of work and glory In the
meetings of the association. On Thursday
Superintendent Pearse participated In the
discussions of the department of manual
training on the topic, "The Boy and Ills
Handicraft." He was Interrupted by ap
plause several times. In brief he said he
was In hearty accord with the Idea of
manual training and thought the old
method of educating In crafts which was
followed years ago,, that of teaching the
boy the trade of his father, was one of the
best ever devised. He pointed out the fact
fhat this system had gone out for good and
that manual training had come to take Its
place. He warned the teachers present
against expecting too much to be done at
once In this line and ended with the hope
that such training would not be confined to
the cities, but would permeate even the
country, where he said It was much needed.
Fowler Makes Suggestion.
On Thursday morning' Mr. Fowler, state
superintendent of schools, ' gave a char
acteristic talk on "The Consolidation of
Rural Schools, saying' ,
The Ideal plan contemplates the discon
tinuance of the small schools within a
given area, say a congressional township,
end the maintenance of a graded school
Instend at some point near the center of
the towrfshlp.
His whole Idea seems to be founded
on a desire to consolidate the schools of the
small rural districts throughout Nebraska
and build instead a central structure here
and there, where more effective work could
he done and better teachers and equipment
a (Tor -led. Mr.' Fowler made a moat favor
able Impression on the throng that listened
to his words.
The feature of Friday morning was the
elaborate and well delivered address of
Miss Clara B. Mason, principal of the Clif
ton Hill school, Omaha, on "Some Experi
ments In Nebraska." 1 Miss Mason simply
captured the large audlenco that listened
to her and from the frequent applause one
could easily tell that the impression she j
mado was good. I
When she had finished and taken her
seat the chairman thanked her In the name
of the assembly and went on to speak of
the difference that exists between the east
and wston the point-of experiment.' He
told how the east was always hampered
by precedent and how 'the most vital ef-
fects had to be produced through a alow
ami ' laborious process, and then pointed
ou how the west, and Nebraska espe
cially,; haa In the past . been ' free to try
whatever experiments it pleased with the
most gratifying results.
So far none of the delegation ha been
sick or In any way ludlsposed; there were,
of course, on the first few days a good
many that felt rather severely the effects
of the long trip, but this feeling has worn
off and all are In the best of spirits now
and eager for exploration and sightseeing.
Don Cnnld Geta Rosy.
'Some funny things still happen and It Is
noised about through headquarters that two
of -the prominent women from Nebraska
Ilk the place so much that they are going
to take back living samples of Its gener
osity; one a policeman and the other a car
conductor. However, I do not believe that
report, for there are enough men In the
west,- without taking from the east the few
that remain. I hope the western school
marms will remember this and keep their
many charms carefully screened with a
heavy black veil.
The register at headquarters still con
tinues to grow and now holds more than

of
CHICAGO, July 12 Indications tonight
are that tomorrow will see the commence
ment of another conflict between the freight
handlers and the employers similar to that
experienced last summer when the union
was defeated.
The difficulty this time Is not over wages,
but Is brought about by a controversy be
tween the teamsters' union and the Kel
logg Switchboard and Electrical company.
where the employes .went on strike two
months ago because the firm refused to
dlschaige ten nonunion employes.
The plant has been closed ever since be
cause of the refusal of the teamsters to
deliver or take goods from the factory.
Riots between policemen and the strikers
followed the attempt to do business.
When goods were unloaded onto the rail
road platforms the freight handlers, under
orders of their president, refused to handle
the freight and were discharged. A com
pact wss then formed between the union
teamsters snd other unions Involved In
the Kellogg strike snd President Curran
of the Freight Handlers' union agreed to
call a strike of the freight handlers em
ployed on the railroads In Chicago If any
more efforts were made to deliver goods
with nonunion teamsters.
Preparations were made by the Kellogg
company today to deliver to the railroads
by nonunion teamsters seven carloads of
freight. President Curren of the freight
handlers said that If the Kelloggs persisted
he would order a general strike.
The railroad managers say tonight they
are prepared for a strike.

Ferrule, and a number of Italians In the
place at the time say Dltor. a sub-boss, had
given orders to shoot at union pickets who
walked the streets outside the factory.
The shots were fired from behind a high
picket ferce, which shut off the factory
yard fro.r. the street. No Immediate cause
for the trouble was apparent, but during
the long stride there have been threats
that blood w.-ud be shed. Other people near
Moore narrowly escaped. , V . ..
When arrested Ross was armed with m
dirk. Four Winchester rifles were taken
from the factory by the police. The rifles
are claimed to have been procured by the

The Wager
A Short
It was a dark night in autumn. The old
banlier paced his cabinet from corner to
corner thinking of the evening pnrty he I
had given Just fifteen years ago. Many
clever people were gathered together that
evening, and various Interesting sub
jects were discussed. Among other
things they spoke or cspltnl punishment.
The guests, most of whom were Journalists,
were against It. In the opinion of the
majority, capital punishment should
have been replaced by imprisonment for
life.
"I do not agree with you," said the host;
"I think capital punishment Is more moral j
and humane than Imprisonment for life
Capital punishment does away with life
Instantaneously, while Imprisonment does
the same thing slowly. Which executioner is
more humane? He who kills In a few
minutes, or he who kills by torturing for
many years?"
"One is Just as Immoral ss the other,"
remarked one of the guests, "becsuse each
I cuini uru vtir VI 1 1 1 r- gutrnio, unnu'" .....
has the same aim-to kill. A government
Is not God. A government has no right to
take nwsy that which It cannot give. If
It wished to."
Among the guests there was a young
Jurist, of about 2b. When he was ssked
to express his opinion, he said:
"Both capital punishment and Imprison
ment for life are Immoral, but If 1 had to
choose from the two, I would have preferred
the latter. It Is better to live somehow
then not live at all."
A heated discussion ensued. The banker,
so much younger r.t that time snd so much
more enthuslaatlc, suddenly struck the table
with his fists and cried, addressing the
young lawyer:
"It Is not true! 1 wager you two million
roubles that you would not be able to stay
Imprisoned In a cell even for five years.
"If you are In earnest," replied the Jurist,
"then I take up your wager. I'll stay
there, not Ave years, but fifteen years."
"Fifteen? All right, accepted!" cried the
banker. "Gentlemen, I put up two
millions."
"All right. Tou stake two millions and
I Stake my liberty!" said the Jurist.
And this wild wager was closed! The
light minded millionaire banker was
delighted by the wager. At the supper
table he said to the lawyer. In a Jesting
tone:
"Think It over, young man, before it
la too late. Two millions are but a trifle to
me. while you are risking to lose three
or four yeara of the best part of your life.
I say three or four years because I am
sure that you couldn't stay there any longer
than that. And then, you must not forget
that voluntary Imprisonment Is worse than
compulory .Imprisonment. The mere knowl
edge that you have a right to leave the
cell will Infest your life. I am sorry for
you!" " '
And. the banker paced up and down the
cabinet, recalling all this, and asking
himself:
"What Is the use of this wager? What
Is the use of the fact that the lawyer has
lost fifteen years of his life, and I have to
throw away two millions? Con this prove
to the worldr that capital 'punishment Is
worse or better than Imprisonment for life?
No, It cannot! Tt Is nonsense, It Is absurd.
On my part It wns the whim of a rich man
on the part of the Jurist It was nothing
else than greediness,"
Then be recalled all that happened, after
hat evening, described. It was decided
that the lawyer should be Imprisoned In
one of the wings of a banker's house. In
the garden. . It waa agreed that for fifteen
years he had no right to cross the threshold
of the- wing,- to see anybody, to hear
human Voices, or to receive letters or news
papers. He wss permitted to have n
musical Instrument, to read books, to write
letters, to drink wine and smoke tobacco.
He could communicate with the world in
no other way than through a small window,
which was made especially for this. Every
thing he needed-books, rrfuslc, wine, etc.
he could get by asking for It In a note,
and everything wns to be handed to him
through the little window. According to
the contract, wherein each and .every de
tail was enumerated, the Jurist was to
stay in the cell exactly fifteen years. The
slightest effort on the part of the Jurist
to break this contract In any way was to
free the banker from his obligation to pay
him the two millions.
During the first year the Jurist seemed
to 'suffer Intensely from loneliness. The
sounds of the piano were heard from his
cell by day and '.by night. He gave up
smoking, and wanted no wine. "Wine,"
he 'wrote, "brings about desires, and de
sires are a prisoner's bitterest foes." Dur
ing this year he asked for light reading;
novels with . complicated love intrigues,
fantastic tales, detective stories, comedies,
snd so on.
During the second year the music died
away . In the cell, and the prisoner asked
for r.othlng but the classics. When the
fifth year came around, music waa heard
again In the cell and the prisoner t-sked
for wine. Those that watched him through
the window said that during this ear
he did nothing but eat. drink and. sleep
he frequently, yawned and spoke to him
self angrily. He read no books. Sometimes,
at night, he would write for a long time,
and then. In the morning, hs would tear
up "verythlng he had written. They often
heard him sob. Tn the second part of the
sixth year he busied himself with the
study of languages, with philosophy and
history- Thus he. demanded some 600 vol-j
umes within the next four years. After
the tenth year the Jurist sat motionless,
studying the bible, and he turned to the
history of religions. During the last two
years of his Imprisonment he read much,
without any system.. Now he was absorbed
by natural science, now ho asTted for Byron
and Shakespeare. His reading waa as
though he were swimming in a sea, amidst
wrecks of a ship and clutching now atone,
now at another . wreck. In the effort to
save his life.
The old banker ' recalled all this, and
thought:
."Tomorrow at 12 o'clock he Is to be free.
According to the agreement, I have to pay
hiro two millions. If I give him the money
I am a ruined man "
Fifteen years ago he had countless mil
lions In his possession; now he was afraid
to ask himself whether he had more money
or debts. Risky speculations had reduced
his affairs to Insignificance and the once
fearless, self-confident, pivud millionaire
now shuddered each time the stocks rose
or fell. -
"That accursed wager," muttered the old
man, clasping nls head In despair. "Why I
did not that man die? He Is M years old
now. He will take away from me the last
I have; he will marry, he will enjoy life,
he will speculate on the exchange, and I,
like a beggar, will look on with envy and
will hear every day the same phrase: 'I
am obliged to you for the happiness of my
life, allow me to help you!' No, that Is
too much! The only thing that could save
me from disgrace and bankruptcy is the
death of this man!
The clock struck three. Everybody waa
leep in the house and nothing save tho
rustling oi the trees near the windows
broke the silence of the night. The banker
walked over to the safe noiselessly and
took out the key of the door, which had
not been opened for fifteen years.
Then he put on his coat and went out of
the house.
' It was dark and cold 4a ths garden. The
Story
rsin Was fulling. A brisk wind blew Into
his face. The banker strsined his sight,
but he could not see anything. When he
came up to the wing he called tne guard
twice. No answer followed. Evidently the
guard had gone to sleep In the kitchen.
"If I have courage enough to carry out
my Intentions," thought the old man, "the i
the 'suspicion would first ef all fall on the
guard."
He groped his way to the staircase and
to the door, and, entering the hallway
leading to the cell, he lit a match. Not a
soul was there. The seals on the door of
the cell were unbroken.
When it became dark again the old
man, ' quivering from agitation, looked
through the small window.
A candle was burning dimly In the pris
oner's room. The prisoner himself was
seated by the table. Only his back, his
hair and his hands could be seen from the
window. Open books lay scattered on the
table, on the armchulrs and on the rug.
- , - ..... n , mi, inn w. . . . o
Five minutes went by and the prisoner did
not stir. The banker tapped on the win
clow with his fingers, but the prisoner re
mained motionless. Then the banker cau
tiously removed the seals from the door
and placed the key In the keyuole. The
door soon opened with a creak. Ths old
man had expected to hear a cry of sur
prise, but some minutes passe 1 and all was
as silent an before. Then he resolved to
enter the cell.
By the table sat the Jurist a skeleton,
with long Kks tnd a long beard. The
color of his face was yellow, his cheeks
were sunken and the hand which sup
ported his shaggy head waa so thin that It
was terrible to look at It. His hair was
already besprinkled with gray, and looking
at, his emaciated face no one would be
lieve that the man was but 40 years old.
He was asleep. Before him, on the table,
lay a sheet of paper. "
"Poor man!" thought the banker. "He
sleeps, probably dreaming of millions. It
is sufficient for me to throw this half dead
man on the bed and to choke him slightly
with a pillow, and the greatest experts
could not find any signs of an unnatural
death. But let me first read over what he
has written here."
The banker took the sheet of paper from
the table and read the following:
"Tomorrow at 12 o'clock I regain my
rreeoom. nut before I leave this room
and see the sun I consider It necessary to
say a few words. Before God and before
my own clear conscience I declare hereby
that I despise liberty, life and health
everything that Is'called In your books the
bliss of life.
"For fifteen years I have carefully
studied earthly life. True, I have seen
neither the earth nor the people, but In
your books I drank fragrant wine, and
I went deer hunting in the forests, I
sang songa, I loved women. Airy
queens, created by the magic of your great
poets, visited me by r.ight and told me
wonderful stories which Intoxicated me
and made my head reel. In your books
I climbed the peaks of the tallest moun
tains, and from there saw the sun rise In
the morning and then pour his golden
rays over ocean and mountain and dale.
I saw from there how lightnings
flashed, rending the clouds asunder; I saw
the verdant forests, llelds, rivers, ponds.
cities; I heard the songs of the sirens and
the sounds of the 'shepherd's reedpipes; I
felt the wings of the beautiful spirits who
came to me to converse about God
In your books I flurfg myself Into bottom
less abysses., I performed miracles, I killed
people, I set cities on fire. I preached new
religions, I conquered kingdoms.
lour books have given me wisdom. All
that tireless human thought has created
during so many centuries Is compressed
within my skull
"And I despise your books. I despise all
the blessings of the world , and I despise
wisdom. All Is perishable, frail, illusive,
and deluslvo, like a mirage. No matter
how proud, how Vise, how beautiful you
may be, death will wipe you off the face
of the earth together with the lowest of
animals, and your posterity, your history.
the Immortality of your geniuses will freeze

'To show yr,u that, I really despise all

the two millions, of which I had one time
dreamed as of paradise,' and which
despise' now. To forfeit my right
to the money, I will leave this cell five
hours before my time has expired, and
inus DreaK tne agreement.
When' the banker .finished ' reading this
letter, he put It down on the tahle, kissed
the sleeping man on the head, burst Into
tears and walked out of the room. Never
In his life did he experience so much con
tempt for himself as now. When he came

BLACKS WAR ON OWN RACE
Form League to Drive Shiftless
Kegrora from Indianapolis
City Limits.
INDIANAPOLIS. July 12. Negro leaders
In Indianapolis are taking steps to avert
race war. The Evansvllle riots and con
flicts between the races In other cities
have made them apprehensive of a similar
outbreak here and an organisation known
as the Negro Business league has accord
ingly been formed to rid the city of what
the better element of the negro race calls
the ''Jlmcrow" negro.
The prime movers of this league are J.
H. Lott, Dr. B. J. Morgan and A. E. Man
ning. Gurley Brewer, editor of the World,
a negro organ, who is supporting the
movement, said today: .
It Is easy to determine who the shiftless,
worthless negroes are. Agents or tne
Negro Business league will make inquiry
concerning them and those who will not
work will be reported to the police with
a request that they be driven out of-town.
This scheme of ridding the city of worth
less negroes is Dotn practical ana sen'iDie.
RACE TROUBLES SUBSIDE
Police Now Believe Leo Brown May
Be Safely Ketnrned to
Evansvllle.
EVANSVILLE. Ind., July lZ-The town
has been quiet all day and the officials havs
had an opportunity to rest after a week of
excitement.
The negroes have remained at home and
the services at their churches were not well
attended. Many of the negroes who left the
city during the week are returning and by
the middle of the week business will be re
sumed In Baptlstown.
The police will keep no extra guards this
week, as they believe the excitement Is at
an end. It Is not thought It will be neces
saj-y to guard Lee Brown, the negro, when
he Is brought back here for trial.

WOMAN WHO TRAPS SNAKES
Gathers In Colls of Rattlers with tho
Aid st nn Ordinary Monse
Snsrer.
The problem of how to catch and dispose
of the rattlesnakes at Ten Mile Point,
near Helena, Mont., has been solved by
Mrs. Daniel Dutro, wife of a small farmer.
Instend of going hunting for the reptiles
and running the risk of being bitten by
them, this woman uses a mousetrap, and
thus far haa been eminently successful in
her undertaking.
Ten Mile Point has often been called
Rattlesnake Point, on account of the Urge
number of rattlers that thrive In that
vicinity. Not ft aeason goes by that several
cattle, are not killed by them, and now
arid then a human being Is claimed.
Mike Dutro and Jack Cornwall, the latter
a noted snnke catcher, have for a long time
been trying to clear the place of reptiles,
but without success. Finally they sought
the aid of Mrs. Dutro.
"Nothing more simple," said the woman,
as she smiled in a superior tort of way.
Instead of unfolding her plans to ths men
and thua allowing them to gain all the
glory, she secured a number of common
circular mouse traps, which she baited and
set a round In various places. Then she re
tired to her own room to sleep the sleep
of, the Just. Wl-.en she entered the kitchen
this morning rhe found that each trap
was filled. . In each hole was a snake, which
had been attracted by tho bait and which
hud been choked to death when the trap
was sprung. All the other traps, which had
been set In various places about the farm,
contained eniikes, and on counting the kill
It was 'ound that sixteen had been rap
tured. The smallest was a trifle more than
a foot In length, while the largest was four
feet and had eight rattles. If the supply of
traps noios out rs. uuiro expects to no

CATTLE There were practically no cat
tle on sale today, so a test ot tne market
was not made. For the week receipts
have been about the same as for last week
and about 6.O1O head heavier than for the
some days of 1 st year. Prices have ftuci
tuated back an forth to quite an extent,
but as compared with the close of last week
there is not much change.
Beef steers made up the bulk of the of
ferings all the week and the quality whs
good on most days. The first of the week
there was quite a slump In values, but
on Wednesday and Thursday the loss was
regained and Friday morning the market
was a little higher than the close of last
week, but the close was a little weaker,
so the week Is closing with prices Just
about In the same notches they were a
wek ago. Trading has been active on
most days and early clearances have been
made. There seems to lie a good healthy
tone to- the market. The bulk of the fall
to good catle sell from 34.60 to 34.80 and
Jood to choice grades are quotaole from
4.80 to 36.15.
Tne cow market has been rather uneven
all the week. Prlcee have followed on the
average about the same course as beef
steers, but grass cows have been selling
so unevenly that some pales have looked
much better than others. Comfed cows are
getting scarce and are fully steady for the
week, the good to choice selling largely
from 33.76 to 34.26. The fair tor good kinds
have been rather slow sale and the cer
tainly no more than steady, while a good
many are quoting them lower. They sell
largely from 83.00 to 33.76. Grass cows of
fair to good quality sell around 32.76. with
Irnn t OA to 12.60.
Bulls ere about steady for the week. The
supply has not been very large, so that
anything at all desirable has sold without
much trouble. Veal calves, on the contrary,
have been coming In quite freely and prices
1 v...t ain lower than thev were a week
ago. It now takes a ohoics veal to bring
mucn over o.w.
a. .nri feeders have been in light
suoiily hut so also has the demand, and
the market can best be described by call
Irtcr It slow and weak. The bulk of the
cattle coming forward sell from t.3 60 to
83 75 with the choicest grades from 33.T6 up.
HOOS There was only a fair run of hogs
rere today and under the- Influence of a
good demand the market ruled active and
a good nickel higher. The bulk sold from
l to $5 .40, with the long string at 85.37H.
As high as $5.45 was paid for loads averag
ing 2 and 209 pounds. From this It will
he seen that lightweights are selling at the
top prices. The heavy .hogw sold largely
at 35 36 with mixed loads at 35.1, H and
the lighter loads sold from 85 40 to $5 45
Th. was no great change In the market
from start to finish, though the close,
If
anRecXt have lieen quite liberal during
v week as there Is an Increase over last
nvthlng, was a lime nrmer
ZiTt-, ih corresponding week of lastiyear
the increase amounts to about 14.000 head.
The tendency of prices, though, has been
downward and the net loss or the week
-mounts to iuric. nepreiwiunii". ..

lng months, a total of 2,612,501 head having 1
arrived, compared with 2,461,fe& head in '
April and 2,346.410 In March. ;
The usual course of trade Is in the '
other direction and these larger receipt
