disagreeable habit of heating her, and she
consequently decided to leave him and re

further suggested that Bronson should be
ridden out of town on a rail for his mis
treatment of his newly-wedded bride, but
staled that If It had been misinformed,
which M did not thtr.k It had been, the edi
tor would gladly make public apology to
Mr. Bronson.
Bronson, after the a ppeara nne of the
article, did demand an apology, stating
that it was all untrue. The editor, how
ever. Investigated further and decided that
he had set forth the, facta In the case and
thnt no apt-logv waa due Mr. Bronson.
Saturday, after the piper had been printed,
Brenson. finding no apology In Its columns,
proceeded to the Journal office and is al
lied to have fearfully beaten Mr. Lyman,
although no third party witnessed tlw en

fearfully cut eye and a badly bitten finger
as a result of the encounter.
Charges were Immediately preferred
against Bronson for assault with Intent to

lieve that oil obstacles of a legal character
have been removed and expect to see the
practical drainage work started soon, and
further Insist that with the progress of
the work all opposition In the mihos ot
tho people will fade away, as it will mean
a wonderful Increase In the value and
productiveness of all the land along the
Nemaha valley. The west border of the
drainage district is several miles east of
Humboldt, but It Is thought when the first
work Is completed a second and third dis
trict will be organised along both the north

OMAHA DEWEY ON THE OHIO
Local Younnter How Cruisinc in Troubled
Chinese Waters.
DEPUTY COUNTY CLERK'S SON TELLS OF LIFE
Bay Times on Shipboard, nltli
lnaln View of Korelan Was
mntt Some1 Incidents of
Interest.
wueen of the fnltcd States fleet In Chi
rese waters at present Is the battleship
Ohio. Which Is also the flagship of the fleet.
In case of a diversion with tho Chinese
growing out of the present somewhat
threatening condition of affairs, the Ohio
will be ono of the most Influential factors in
settling the affair properly. On the Ohio
at present Is an Omaha lad, son of Deputy
County Clerk Frank Dewey, who has been
on the Ohio now lor nearly two ear. At
present he has the rating of seaman and
remarks he considers the berth a pretty
good birthday present, coming aa It did
Just about the time of hla 17th anniversary.
Young Dewey says In one of his last let
ters that the chief gunner on the Ohio waa
then expecting to got the world's record
for gunnery. "He has the after twelve
Inch turret, the ona I am in," say the
writer, and adds, "If he does, you bet I
will feel good."
He protests about the malls being de
layed (Ihe Ohio was then nt Cavlte, P. I.,
where It has been cruising around since
last November), and says they cannot
Imagine why. Waiting for word of the
home folks beoomes Irksome to the boys,
for. says Dewey In one letter to his mother,
"There Is not much going on here now ex
cept working parties ashore, but as soon as
we have record target practice I guess we
are going back to Hong Kong." The Ohio
hua since been ordered to Hong Kong.
Boy Life In the avy.
Besides the dull times In Philippine
water, the Jackie jn the American ships
have the same trials as the most prosaic
landltibliers. "I have Just paid 24 for hav
ing my teeth shot to pieces and then filled,"
say the boy, without any comment. He
also remarks in one letter that they had
Just arrived at Nanking. China, from Che
foo and Woosung, where the men In the
first section got shore leave, but a he Is fn
the second ho had lo remain on shipboard.
"After threo daya there (Nanking) If wag
u.i anchor at 2 bells in the morning and
proceed Up the Yangt&e Kiang. We were
within a mile of shore all the time, and
sometimes within twenty-five feet. The
river I something like the Missouri at
home a pandbar here today and tomorrow
none. The pilot has his own troubles.
After leaving Woosung the country Is al
most a mud Rat,
"The valley of this river Is depended
upon by China for the greater part of. Its
rice for. export, and It Is nothing but rice
fields, huts (with about six families living
In each) and canals, the latter for sam
pan and for Irrigation purposes.
Brnah with River Pirate.
"I wa upon the forecastle the other even
ing and aome sampans were coming down
the river. We did not pay any attention
to them until they came almost alongside,
when we discovered they were river pirates.
They had a small gun mounted on bo'.h
sides. During that night we dropped
anchor off a place the first 'luff,' called
Pigtown, because , of the droves on the
banks. A bright lookout was kept all night,
as some of these river pirates surprised
a German gunboat up here about time
years ago and killed all but one man. They
make a bomb which we call a stink bomb,
and when these are lighted they give off
an odor no white, man can stand. When
they attacked the German gunboat they
threw these bombs aboard and suffocated
all hut the one man, who got In one of the
sails aloft above the stink. Of course there
Is no danger of them attacking one of these
ships, but the commanders are always on
guard.
Moving? is the Hirer.
"Next morning all hands called at 5, up
anchor and up the river again. At 7 o'clock j
we passed the Klaug forts, which are pretty I
well fortified. They have batteries on top
of five mountains. Iiesldes the smaller ones
at and near the base. The Chinese flag
was hoisted In the forts when we passed
and the sentries on duty saluted us. After
passing the forts the country Is mountain
ous and the landscape Is swell. We passed
two other sets of forts before arriving nt
Nanking, the old capital or China. We
can't see anything of the city from the ship,
as It la inside of a great wall. Everything
In China is behind a wall. The tombs here
are Interesting."
The trip bark down the river was unin
teresting, says young Dewey, as "we were
breaking out gear to coal ship." This was
done ut Woosung, while lying alongside
"the good old Oregon and two Chinese
cruisers (not much)."
In, it Jettr written early In October last
Seumri Dewoy enclosed the programs of
two concerts given on the Ohio, Ontober 6
at Chin Klaug Fu. and October " nt Nan
king, "for Alice Roosevelt." There are
six numbers on each program and Hand
master Genovese made some Snappy se

American ships were looking for danger to
crop out, aa the present cloud did nut
arise until after the lat letter wa sent.
Accompanying the letters received by
Mr. Dewey are about loo kodak pictures
of scenes and Incidents. Some of these
ar Intensely Interesting. There Is one
picture of an execution ground Just after
a Boxer haa be n beheaded and chopped
Into thirty-six pieces. In the foreground
Is the block, and beside It the trunk, with
severed head, hands and other portions
of the body. It Is ghastly Indeed in Its
realism.
In one picture Is seen a Chinaman built
Into a wooden cage to die, and a crowd
outside a fence gaping at him. In another
View three Chlneae women are seen,
"congtied," with their head fastened In
a large board. They are guilty of fctd-naplng.
NO DECISIVE ACTION NOW
Rrerkrnrldae Thinks Present Con

"nnervlMon Bills.
Attorney Ralph W. Breckenridge. who
hive Just returned from a stny of tour
weeks In Washington and New Tork. thinks
no decisive action will be taken at this ses
sion of ronrxes upon tho bill having the
national supervision of Insurance as their
object.
Mr. Rrerk'urldge spent most of his time
while away from Omaha at Washington
and he appeared before the house Judiciary
committee and argued In favor of the
legality of natlohal Insurance supervision.
His views were opposed by other eminent
lawyers, but Mr. Breckenridge presented
his view, which he formulated some time
ago and ha seen no reason to change.
"1 appeared In an entirely private and
dlslntereted way," sold Mr. Breckenridge.
"While I do not look for any action on tho
matter during the session of the present
congress, jet the question will not down. It
is bound to be forced up and It Is only a
question oi time until a great deal of pra
stire will be brought to bear on congress for
legislation placing the Control and regula
tion of Insurance companies under the fed
eral government. That Is unless In the
meantime the supreme ccurt speaks on the
point In a direct and certain manner. If
the supreme court holds against the propo
sition 'It means' it I lost, because tslk of it
constitutional amendment Is Idle. We have
never had :t constitutional amendment nut
brought about by a war and (here Is no
chance or hope of one upon a purely com
mercial question. But the people who think
a national Insurance law should be enacted
arc going to fight for It until the thing la
settled.

BEST SYSTEM FOR JURIES
Question of ' Not Isolating Them
Dlscnsaed aa Heaolt of
Allen Trial.
The resolution presented to Judge Sutton
by the Jury that tried the Allen murder
Tase. In which the Jurors thanked the
Judge for not requiring them to be lorked
up during the trial, were the subject of
considerable discussion among attorneys
Saturday morning. Judge Sutton said that
Inasmuch ns he had to deal with Juries in
criminal cases he did not care to express
an opinion aa to whether or not Juries in
general In Important cases should be Iso
lated except that the conditions surround
ing the rase should be taken Into considera
tion. He did not think a general rule could
be announced.
"Wo do not demand that Juries be iso
lated," said County Attorney glabaugh.
"except In cases where there Is great public
Interest or excitement, and then It Is only
fair to tho Jurors that we keep thein away
from tho public. We have had cases where
friends of the accused approached Jurors
greatly to tbe embarrassment of the Jurors,
though no blame at all attached to them.
The personnel of the Jury and the condi
tions surrounding the trial ought to be
taken Into consideration by the Judge. I
do not believe that business men when
they ask to be excused take Into considera
tion the fact they may be locked up aa
they are kept away from their business
during business hour anyway."
J. M. Macfarland. who defended Allen.
; said he thought the court ahould take Into
consideration the makeup of the Jury and
the cmdlilor ut der -which the .n. I
tried. In the rne of the Allen Jury, he
said, there wa no need of isolating the
Jurors, because they wc-re well known men,
whose Integrity was unquestioned. He
thought a better grade of Jurors might be
secured If the isolation rule were not re
quired, though he did not think It would
do to allow the Jurors their freedom In all
caes
Judge Troup expressed practically the
same opinion. 1"iils the Isolation of the
Jury I required by statute ho thought the
Judttc should exercise his discretion, taking
Into considcratlori the nuii on the Jury
and nature of the case. Business men, he
though, would probably not ohjert so
strenuously to Juiy servlre If they knew
I thev would have tho time la-fore and after
