Room.
CALDWELL, Idaho, Jan. l.-The officers
believe they have on of the men respon
sible for the assassination of ex-Governor
Steunenbcrg. He Is one of those who have
been under suspicion. This man registered
at the Baratoga hotel three weeks ago as
M. J. Hoglan, giving Denver as his ad
dress. A year ago he stopped' at the Pa
cific hotel, registering as Thomas Hoglan.
A search -of. his room at the Saratoga re
sulted In the discovery of an old overcoat
and some other rough clothes, also some
fish lines similar to the pieces found at
the scene of the explosion supposed to
be part of the. string with which the trig
ger of the Infernal machine was pulled.
Further, In his grip was a lot of white
powder, believed to be a high explosive.
There was also something that looked like
brown wrapping paper, but It would not
burn. The contents of the grip are In the
hands of chemists. , .
Inmate of Ball Pea,
It. Is stated that Angus Sutherland, for
mer sheriff of Shoshone county, who Is on
the ground, has recognized this man as
one. who was In the famous bull pen dur
ing the Coeur d'Alene riots In 1889. The
story haa not been confirmed. . The officers
determined to .take. Hoglaa to Boise- this
evening, as the) jail here Is a very poor
affair and offers no opportunity "to keep
suspects apart. After a conference, how
ever. It was determined to keep him here
sine It was feared that his removal would
be construed as evidence of "Tear of mob
violence.
Hoglan has been a mysterious character.!
He often left town, giving no explanation
of his absenoe. At one time he left to look
at land, he said, but It was known that
he had not left town. The officers believe
he waa carefully laying the plans for the
crime and expected to escape suspicion by
remaining In his quarters In the hotel until
a convenient opportunity should be pre
sented to take his departure.
The funeral of Governor Steuenberg will

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. l.-(Speclal.)-Wlth of"
flcers Boegh and Sides as aides Chief
Cooper this morning destroyed a large
quantity of liquor taken from the' drug
store of A. L. Shader In a recent raid.
The destruction was made upon the order
of Judge Frost of the district court after
Shader had pleaded guilty to selling liquor
without a license. The chief had made
an agreement to return the stuff to Bhader,
as theerms of a'settlement with him de
creed, but the court made him go and get
the stuff again. Bhader, however, tricked
the pollc' by substituting a number of
bottles of colored water, and the best ef
forts of the department have not availed
to secure all of it.
Sixteen half pints, fourteen pints and
three quarts of whisky wfrt allowed to
trickle down into the sewer through th
pollc court wash basin, the ceremony
being witnessed by a number of sad-eyed
habitues of that tribunal. A lot of beer,
making a total of ninety-one bottles, waa
also destroyed.
Th police still have plenty of liquor on
hand, however, as they raided the store
of Stetner At Woempener, O street drug
gists, last night. The officers happened
Into the place just as liquor was being
served, and while the proprietors were- in
Jail they took the keys they found on their
persons and searched the place. A half
barrel of whisky and a great quantity of
bottled goods of all kinds and kegs of wine
were also secured.
Says H Had a Vision.
George W. Pleasant, a colored preacher
who also does a little barbering, told the
police this morning that the unidentified
negro found dead a few nights ago was
not King Diamond of Kearney, but a man
named Walker. Pleasant says he derived
his knowledge from a vision that appeared
to him last night and informed him that
the man was so named, and that he had
relatives somewhere In the state. He prom
ised the officers to try and recall the vis
itant for further details.
Nude Maniac Pats Ip Fight.
Jackson Frisky, a paroled patient from
the Insane hospital, gave four Lincoln of
ficers a lively tussle this morning before
being overpowered and placed in Jail.
Frisky comes from Harlan county, but
since his release from the asylum has been
working at the Burlington freight house.
At an early hour this morning his landlord,
at (24 P street, heard him howling and
cursing, and going in to quiet him, found
him without a stitch pt clothing on his
person, charging up and down the room
The officers were called and for ten minutes
they had their hands full trying' to )lnd the
man. He fought and kicked and olt, and
two of the policemen were knocked down
in the struggle. He waa turned over to the
care of the sheriff.
Frisky Is an epileptic, and was for eight
een months in the asylum. A severe at
tack of illness last fall left him so weak
and prostrated that It was thought best to
send htm home to recuperate. . Since then
he had not been beard from. Superintend
ent . Greene says the man is not violent
save when he gets hold of liquor. -Then to
is transformed - ' - - ,.'' .,
Stockman Mtssina;.
The Lincoln police have been asked to
keep a lookout for W. L. Richard, a stock
man of , Humboldt, who disappeared in Kan
sas City, where he had taken a load of
cattle, ten days ago. Richard's father Is a
retired farmer living In th 'southern part
of this county. He says that his son wrote
home to his wife from Kansas City a .letter
from which the inference could be drawn
that he was about to desert her And their
children. As there had been no. domestic
trouble whatever, the father Is Inclined to
think that his son must have been tempo
rarily insane. He owed aome money, but
nothing was pressing. He had about $806
with him after he disposed of his hogs.
Few Chances Her.
There will be few changes at the court
house Thursday, when th terms of the
old officers "expire. The only changes In
office are Dennis C. Berry, who succeeds
Benjamin Knight as treasurer, and Robert
Picket, who succeeds Lee Newton aa com
missioner. Picket is not so sure that he
will get the office. He has filed his bond
and taken the oath of office, but Newton
says he will try to hold on because of the
law passed last winter extending the com
missioner's term one year, to complete the
biennial election plan. The other commis
sioners are Inclined to side with Newton
and refuse to recognise Picket until a court
decision ts rendered. Berry has been deputy
treasurer for a number of years. Of the
other officers County Judge Waters and
Dr. F. A. Graham, coroner, begin their
fourth terms, while County Surveyor Scott
begins his seventh.

FREMOT MI RDF.R STILL Ml HIJER
Officer Have Slight Hope of Discover
In the Perpetrator.
FREMONT, Neb., Jan. 1. (8peclal.) The
supposed Browning murder Is still a mys
tery. The Officers have been fotlowlng dif
ferent clues last night and today, without
material results. This morning a man was
placed under arrest who it Is thought may
know something about the affair. Indies
tlons at the point where the man was
killed show that he did not give up his
life without a struggle. The ground was
tramped up and a pool of blood waa visi
ble. Those first at the Scene say that
there were marks of a buggy track leading
from the road to a short distance from
the scene of the murder. That the roan
had been dragged from where he was shot
to the clump of bushes where found was
shown by marks along the ground and
occasional blood spots on the grass.
The body had not stiffened when found
and It Is therefore possible that the affair
took place yesterday forenoon instead of
Saturday night, though the nature of the
wound Is such that death might not have
resulted until some time after the fatal
shot. The clothing- wa badly torn, evl
dently on account of the body having been
dragged over the rough,' frozen ground,
There were two bullet wounds in the head.
The body was lying. on tho side, with on
arm, evidently that by which it had been
dragged, extended. '
Sheriff Webster and Sheriff-elect Dalley
of Saunders county and Sherff Bauman
and Deputy Jensen of Fremont are working
on the case, with smalt chance of solving
th mystery. One clue run down this
morning was that furnished by a Fremont
man, who Identified th deceased as a party
who, ' accompanl'fl by another man, pur
chased a bottle exfwhiskx in a Fremont
saloon and at the sunt time displayed
considerable money,r The . sheriff located
the other party and soon found that the
man supposed to have been Browning was
alive and well.
The dead man waa 24 years old and had
worked in Cedar Bluffs and vicinity for
some time. Last summer he was employed
in McMuhon's livery stable, later he
worked as a farm hand for John Lyman,
a Saunders county farmer, and had worked
at times for .other farmers near Cedar
Bluffs. Ills employers say that he was
sn Industrious man, a good worker and
was generally supposed to have some money
saved up. He was In the habit of carrying
more or less money . with him. His re la
Uvea live In Omaha, and he went there
quite frequently. He had been In Omaha
during the holidays and the clothing he
bad on when killed, all new and of a better
quality than those usually worn by the
average farm hand, had been purchased
there.
Sheriff Webster, as acting coroner of
Saunders county, empannelled a Jury last
night and an Inquest will be held at Cedar
Bluffs today. The suspect who Is now in
the county Jail protests his Innocence, but
declines to talk. He has been employed
on the Great Northern bridge gang and
will be held awaiting further developments,
It developed here today that Thad
Browning's father, Robert Browning, Uvea
at Bonaparte, la., and that he had a sis
ter, Mrs. Charlea Pierce, who lives . In
Omaha. Mrs. Pierce passed through here
this afternoon on her way to Cedar Bluffs
Neb. On December 1 II Browning left
Omaha for his father's for the purpose
of getting a legacy of ft00, which he later
wrote his sister was paid to him, It Is
thought that someone who knew of bis
having received this money may have fol
lowed him and shot him.
The identification of the body of the
young man found . aeren . miles from Fre
mont. Neb.. In Sounders county, Sunday,
as that of Thaddeus Browning, waa yester
day proved to be an error, Browning had
a sister, Mrs. Charles iPleroe, living at 2236
Birch street, Omaha, ind she was sent for
to complete the Identification. Mrs. Pierce
went. out to view th toAy yesterday,, and
was positive in her declaration that It was
not that of her brother. The farmer for
whom Browning had been working said
that he recognised the remains as that of
his recent employ. The nam Mower ha
been found written with laundry Ink on
a piece of underclothing on the body; but,
as the garment is several times too large
for the person. It is believed that it may
have been the property of some other man.
However, an effort will be made to locate
Mower. -

Could Gain Nothing by War.
CUSE OF APPREHENSION IN FRANCE
Fear that (horses of Had Faith
Against Uermaay, Will Re Re
, to Provoke Conflict,
BERLIN. Jan. 1. The German Foreign
offlce has been aware that nervousness
existed In France among the cabinet minis
ters and people over the possibilities of a
renewed controversy with Germany. Baron
von Rlchthoff, the foreign secretary, was
Informed a fortnight ago that the French
cabinet had serious fears of Germany's
Intentions. The secretary replied to his
Informant, who was fresh from Purls, that
such apprehension was wholly without
cause, adding:
"What could Germany gain by a war?"
Inquiries were made here by the French
financial interests last week as to the possi
bilities of Germany provoking a war with
France, and German bankers, who are ex
tremely well Informed politically, replied
that there wasn't the slightest Indication
that the German government contemplated
aggressive action toward France. It was
pointed out by one powerful Interest that
"a thousand reasons existed against war
where one existed' for It."
"Only presumption end vain glory," It
was added, "would suggest war when noth
ing moral or material could be gained by
It, while all the solid consideration of
commerce and orderly Internal develop
ments, besides the thoroughly pacific policy
of the emperor are Immovably in th way
of fighting for ambition alone. The deli
cately adjusted system of production and
exchange would be shattered by a war to
such an extent that no Indemnity or terri
tory could furnlnh compensation."
- Caase of Apprehension la France.
The apprehensions in Franc appear to
be due to a reasonable certainty that Ger
many will oppose France's position at th
Moroccan conference, now only a fortnight
off, and also to the feeling that France's
yellow book on Morocco went rather too
far in accusing Germany of assuming a
provocative attitude and charging Germany
with bad faith. Tho French government,
. .
charges placed Germany in an unpleasant
light, that the German government resents
them and will reply to them firmly. This
reply may lead to continued discussion In
the press and between the public men of
the two countries. British Influence, It Is
stated in Berlin, is known to be adding to
the feeling of mistrust of Germany existing
In France, especially In the case of non
offlclal influence, such as recent utterances
of Sir Charles Dllke and the military cor
respondence of the London Times last
week. But In every well posted quarter
here diplomatic, financial and military, the
statement is made that war between Ger
many and France is incredible unless
France haa designs which ao far have not
been disclosed.
Lonbet Talks Peace.
PARIS, Jan. 1. President Loubet'a New
Tear's reception to members of the diplo
matic corps gave opportunity for a signifi
cant exchange of peace sentiments, evi
dently designed to offset the recent wave
of pessimistic war talk.. The usual mili
tary honors were? rendered on the arrival of
the members. The reception was iield in

1 count xournaNi, in extending to president
Lou bet the felicitations of his colleagues
and himself, said that he waa not giving
expression to mere formal sentiments of
fraternity. At the beginning of the year
Just closed, he said, the whole world suf
fered from a feeling of the deepest depres
sion, lightened only by the general convic
tion that moral action favoring the soli
darity of the essential Interests and the pa
cific relations of the peoples represented
by the diplomatic corps was assurod by
the support of France.
The hop then expressed had been ful
filled, for which reason they congratulated
themselves on having been witnesses of the
beneficent action of France In behalf of
peace.
President Loubet, in reply, said:
It Is with the deepest satisfaction that I
recall that the hopes for peaoe, the object
of all our desires, which were expressed a
year' ago, have been fulfilled. Tne moral
power attained by pacific ideas throughout
the world haa played a great part 111 this
happy result. The persuasive idea of those
ideas was never before demonstrated, and
we may draw therefrom the most favor
able auguries.
Prince von Radolin, the German ambas
sador, was. present, having Just returned
from Berlin, where he waa the guest of
Emperor William and the minister of for
eign affairs. Baron von Rlchthofen, during
the consideration of Franco-German rela
tions. The cordiality of President Loubet
toward the prince was especially marked.
Mr. McCormlck, the American u.nbassa
Uor, also exchanged amenities with th
president.
A brilliant New Year's reception was
given, at the American embassy tonight, at
which several hundred Americans were
present. Mr. McCOrmlck will sail for the
t'nlted States on the Amerlka January 4
for a short visit.

, NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.
Let the greatest athlete hvedyrvepla
and his muscle would soon fall. rhvM
ral strength is derived from food. If a
fian has insuftlclriit food ho loans strength,
f ha has no food he dies. Food Is con
verted Into nutrition through the stom
ach and bowels. It depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, whon the stomach
and Its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do- not perform their duty.
Thus th stomach Is really the vital or-
? an of the body. If the stomach la "weak"
he body will be weak also, because it Is
upon the stomach the body relies for Its
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole. Is made up of its several mem
bers and organs, so tha weakness of tha
body as a consequence of "weak" stom
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If tha
body Is weak because it Is Ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs heart, liver, kldneya, etc.
Tha liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliousness, loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or Irregular action or
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
Mr. Louis Pare, of Quebec writes: "For
years after mj health began to fall, my bead
grew ditty, eyes pained me, and my stomach
was sore all the time, while everything I
would est would seem to lie heavy like lead
on my stomach. The doctor cl timed thst
It was sympathetic trouble due to dyspepsia,
and prescribed for me. and although 1 took
their powders rerularlr vet I felt no better.
My wife advised me to try fr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and stop taking th doc
tor's medicine. Hhe bought me a bottle and
we soon found thst I began to Improve, so 1
kept up the treatment I took on flesh, my
stomach became normal, the digestive organs
woraea perfectly ana 1 soon began to look
like a different person. I can never cease to
be grateful for what your medicine bat don
forme and I certainly give it highest praise."
Don't be wheedled by a penny-grabbing
dealer into taking Inferior substitutes for
Dr. Pierce's medicines, recommended to
be "Just as good."
