No sooner had he confessed than a ook of Infinite relief overspread his face. "I never saw such a change of expression Jn any person's face before," remarked Captain Mostyn. "In place of the hard features came a wave of bright ness, and he even told me. on the way to South Omaha In the cab, that I had no Idea what a relief. It was to him the moment he confessed. But 1 had some Idea from the change on his face. He put his arm over my, shoulder while talking In the cab, and. when we returned to Omaha in a street car he resumed that, position, maintaining it all the way." Warren was arrested nearly a year ago for forgery. .... Kelson has a long police record In Omaha,., He has been arrested time and ugaln. (or various offenses. He Is the only child of. his parents, who are nearly heart broken over the conduct of their boy. He began his criminal career early In life. Hhi father Is a well-to-do carpenter and contractor, a reputable and highly respected Citizen, and the only son has never had cause to tieed for the lack of necessities or even luxuries. But While yet hoy In knee trousers, 11 years old, "Ray" was discovered In a plan which he had of entering a store and going behind the counter, stealing money or whatever of value he could find. His small site enabled him to enter and escape unseen. In thla way he tapped many tills. As ha grew older his' operations continued and Increased. He wns never In need of money and could have had all he wanted from his father. Ho did not drink and his only large ' expense was livery horses, though his father had horses at home, but he seemed to take delight In- thieving. He soon became a police character and many times' th father Was able to keep him out of Jail only by buying off the prosecutor. Hut no number of escapes from prison terms spent behind, the. bars or .-the tears of. broken-hearted father and mother ap peared to have the slightest effect on the lad tor- even as much as a day. Ho would some times steal on his way home after being- released from Jail, his sentence ex pired, and be locked up again the next day. warren Was with Nelson, O Hearn and Angus for the first time Baturday evening, i nile the police have not had time yet , to go Jnto the matter, they confidently believe Nelson, O'Hearn and Angus were Implicated -In various holdups perpetrated hero, during the last few weeks, as many of th ; descriptions received by victims correspond with the prisoners. These three told the, police officials the reason the street tar robbery was not pulled off was because the 'two amateurs of the quartet got "cold feet" afid called It off. The younger two stated Ne(son and O'Hearn Intimated some "smokln;" (shooting) might have to be dons -at. the barn before the men there would agree to open the safe.

The crimes and arrests of O Hearn, Nel son, Angus and Warren make up the most Interesting case In local police annals since the arrests of Smith. Doran, Trattner, Case and Madison a year ago Inst summer. The last mentioned had framed up a deal to hold up the car barn at Twentieth and Harney streets on the evening of their arrests. In that case. too. the car barn robbery-fell through because part of the j gang experienced quite a drop of tempera ture In their pednl extremities and failed I to show up at the appointed place. They 1 did confess, however, to a long list of highway robberies. The revolver with whlh the murder was committed was recovered by the police lata yesterday afternoon. Its recovery was di rectly due to the confession of Nelson, he having told that It would be found In O'Hearn's house. O'Hearn had given the weapon to his wife, and she In turn handed It to her father, who gave it up to the police. All the chambers were empty. It Is a 32-calber. the same as that of the bullet removed from Laustcn's body. An gus told Captain Mostyn that he had rone with Nelson to Council Bluffs Saturday to buy a revolver. They bought this one for 13 and gave It to O'Hearn, for he had no gun. 1.1 fe Imprisonment for Robbery, In discussing the recently resurrected law In the state of Illinois, which provides the penalty of life Imprisonment for high way robbers, no matter what the booty might be, Captnlh Mostyn said yesterday: "I believe the law a good one and a Just one. A man who undertakes the work of holding uh another must consider before- j hand what lie will do. He must go through the act In his mind and know Just what to do In an emergency. He must provide a plan of action should his victim show fight. If, then, he murders his man dur ing the holdup It becomes a premeditated crime a conspiracy on the part of those engaged In the robbery to get a man's money and kill him If he resists. Such a law Is none too severe for this class of criminals. Holdup men and safe blowers are the most dangerous to human life of all wrongdoers. Sneakthleves, oonfldence men and men of that class are not often found with revolvers or other weapons upon their persons. Their work does not require that they should kill In very many cases. The kind of men that wo placed under arrest today are the worst there are and It would perhaps be a good thing If the Illinois law wore In force all over the country."

BUSY WEEK WITH POLITICS Gstksring of Ajr.cal'.uriiU Firnishu (.bancs for Exchange of Opinions. FRIENDS OF CANDIDATES FEEL PULSE Indications Are That While Aatl Railroad Sentiment la tronsj It Has ot Yet Centered on Whom It Will Favor. iFrtnu a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 21. (Special.) The last week in Lincoln was a great one for the. political medicine mixers of this section of the state. Agriculturists from all parts of the state were here, and theBe Included many members of the last legislature as well as politicians of some reputation. A good many of the old members of the legislature were here feeling of the politi cians and discussing chances of re-election. Some of the politicians were of the opinion that before the middle of February politics would be red hot and that within a short time tho United States senator and the candidate for governor and treasurer would be decided upon, while others were not so sure. Nearly all of those here who were Inter viewed were of the opinion that the rail roads as well as many of the banks were already hard at work to secure the re election of Senator Millard, while many of them believed that the railroads would like to see former State Auditor Weston nominated for governor. As opposition candidates to these men many names were mentioned, but it was clear that the antl-rallroad element Is not combined. on any one man. If the Impres sion left by the agriculturists Is any cri terion. That the sentiment absolutely op posed to the railroads is deep sooted, how ever, the visitors left not the leHst doubt. Whatever the action of the next republican state convention may be, at this time the sentiment Is absolutely opposed to the rail roads dominating political affairs as they have In the past. Favorite "on Dodae. Representative Caldwell brought the In formation, from Clay county that the rail roads were trying to pet the people ef his county to ease up on the pass proposi tion and at the same time he said they were flirting with a number of favorite sons to get them to bring In delegations to the convention, which 'ater could be ma nipulated by experienced politicians. He and others brought the information that Dins more and a number of other candidates would be sprung In order to hold home del egations In line, while Representative Ernst Is authority for the statement that no home candidate will be given a delegation In his part of tho state unless the candidate has a good cnance or nomination ana io- pcu- pie B'e sure the candidate is sincere and not merely running to drag chestnuts out of the tire for the railroads. It also developed that there will be a harvest of candidates for railroad commis- I sioners to be voted on this fall when the : constitutional amendment creating the j commission Is submitted to the people. Rep resentative Caldwell will be a candidate j for a place on this commission In all prob- ability, while the visitors suggested a j number of others who would either be can- didates or whom they would like to see j run. Among the latter class the name of i Oeorge Sheldon was mentioned, though he Is still being talked of for governor. Trcas- : urer Mortensen, Charles Dempster, John Wall, Senator Fries, Judge Paul Jessen, I Charles Weston and E. a. McOilton each I had his admirers among the visitors, but a majority of those Interviewed had' net made up their mlrjs who they would sup port when it comes to the final showdown. Benton Is Talked Of. In Lancaster county It is expected the convention will be called pretty early. Just at this time tho bosses are flirting with legislative candidates, and, In fact, they j have been doing that ever since the last session adjourned. Tom Benton has been asked to throw off his business clothes and get Into the running for membership in the legislature, but up to date Mr. Ben ton has stood pat for the slmplo life. He recently returned from California where ho he went, a sick man, H few months ago and, though much Improved In health, he ex pressed himself as preferlng the life of the business man rather than that of a mem ber of the legislature. Clmncey Warner, who has served three terms In the lower house, in all probability will try a throw at the senate this time. It is generally un derstood that Senator Bcglitol ' has had enough and will not be a candidate again. Bible In Poblle Schools. In un address at Trinity church tonight Deputy State Superintendent Bishop advo cated the reading of the Bible in the public schools and he made the statement that no education Is complete without a study of the Bible. "The Plble Is now recognised as one of our leading authorities in ancient history. It is recognlxed as a book filled with mutch less selections of prose and poetical verse; unequaled by any other one source In fur nishing, not only to the educated, but to tho person of meager understanding, a me dium of thought and communication; a Is Baby Growlne In Health and Strength? ilffiflMliP (s the most important essential for all Nursing Mothers because It nourishes and provides the proper supply, of food upon which the Baby must Depend for Growth and Strength.

"As a moib'l In form of the English lan guage, even Hlmkespeiire must own his de lepdence Uun the Bible. The songs of David and the writings of Solomon cannot be replaced; cannot be outclassed or even equalled hy the writers of modern times. "We view with alarm any attempt to tnke from our teachers the privilege of resdlng at proper times in the school such selections from the Bible as are fitted to leave right Impressions uion youthful minds." Mr. Bishop reviewed the history of the suit brought by Daniel Freeman to keep the Bible out of the school In a certain district In Oage county and told of suits elsewhere that had been broiurht to stop the reading of the Bible In schools, but he said that wherever it wns shown that the Bible was read without comment the courts would hold thnt it could be done. Governor Is Improving. Though he is still confined to his bed Governor Mickey is reported better todny and It Is thought he will be all right within a day or two. It whs feared lust night that his cold would develop Into pneumonia, but today he has no symptoms of pneumonia and little fears are entertained on that score.

Jim. 2t.-The American del es;atrs to the Moroccan conference as the results of talks with others of the en voys have become Impressed with the un developed wenllli of Morocco and the op portunities It affords for American enter prises. Wonderful stories are told of coal deposits within un hnur'B ride of Tan gier, of untouched forests of cork trees neiir at hand, und of g-old Acids In the At las mountains. The Moors continue to woru on a small scale the copper veins opened by the Romans, but mining engi neers, who have scarcely dared to turn a stone for fear of the natives, aver that not only copper, but tin and Iron mines exist which are equal to the best mines of Spain. "Why should not the t'nltt-d States share In the development of these resources which are greater than those of Manchuria or the Philippines." remarked one of the plenipotentiaries. American Methods C In mar. Samuel Ounmiere, the American minister to Morrocco and one of the delegates to the convention, however, raised some prac tical difficulties in the way of Americans profiting In this field, as Europeans con trol tfe shipping linns and send their goods in bulk, while Americans send merely F.ng llsh literature and samples, gome tons of this literature, Mr. Gummere said, reached the American legation every year for dis tribution Hmong the Arabs. Mr. Gununere. however,, confirmed many of the reports of the undeveloped riches of the country. lie said the soil need only be scratched to produce each yeur two abundant crops of corn, barley niltl vege tables. American agricultural machinery, according to Mr. Gummere, Is greatly needed in Morocco, aa the primitive wooden plow is still used there. Moreover, Morocco meds railroads, telegraphs, electricity and a hundred of other conveniences which It could havo if the country were opened, but against these things the Moors have resolutely set their faces. Direct Steamer Lines Seeded. Mr. Gummere said that although consid erable flour, petroleum and lard, the lutter for the use of the Spanish population, Is Imported, yet these things are brought through Marseilles, .Hamburg and other Kuropean ports upon Kuropean ships and are distributed by European traders. Nine tenths of the flour imported Is American. The Standard Oil company has an exclusive market In Morocco, having displaced Rus sian oil concerns. Much of the Morroccan market, Mr. Gum mere thinks, could be occupied by Ameri can merchants if -a direct steamship line mere established. Speaking of the huge profits made In Morrocco, Mr. Gummere remarked that In vestors there think they are losing money If they do not make from SO to 40 per cent pruut, wiine ou in krs per cent ia uui rare Leading I to It. "Mr. Myitis," suid the rising young con gressman, "can you renew my nnnual puss on your rnllwuy?" "1 um sorry I cannot do tliut, Mr. Kly mer," suid the president of the company. "The Ironclad rules we have adopted this yeur positively forbid it. Ask vnie for any thing else, however, and I shall be happy to grant It." The young man sua' his chance.
