After the tremendous excitement In Omaha and the efforts of the police, which have been barren of results so fur. the South Omaha officers indulged In bitter denuncia tions of all that claim of questionable character which have been so much more numerous since the strike two years ago. Ballew Tired Oat. Officer Ballew arrived from a long and discouraging day on' the Rummelhart case in time to take a hand In the search for Perry. He said he found that the greatest difficulty In the former cane was the multi tude of descriptions which have been poured Into the police stations. People of the city are agitated and frightened and as soon as any one recalls a negro face on the night of the tragedy he Immediately telephones or sends It tn with a lot of suspicious circumstances as he now recalls them. Most of them are doubtless from a free Imagination. He said he had some uia nmui itv una l.uimru mums luc day. which he preferred to keep to himself until he had some positive proof of the guilt of the suspects. He said: "I will not make an arrest until I know which way I'm going. There will be no fluke about It." In the second esse, he said, he recalled the fight in the packing house, but had been given little Information at the time, He was too tired to take up the search last night farther than to visit the colored club rooms and make a few Inquiries. The chief and two captains made a search of several noure, tnougn an naa Deen busy ; during the day. Railroad Held Responsible, The coroner's Jury In the case of William NU(1. nndtrtlil m verdict holding the Cnlon paclnc Railroad company responsible for the accident. Nlles was run over last Monday at a point Just south of the Q street viaduct. He was riding on the foul board In front of engine No. 1313. The track was one which was seldom used and was not In repair. Just after passing un der the viaduct Nlles missed his footing snd fell under the wheels, dying in a few minutes. He will be burled Friday at t p. m. The evidence before the jury differed from the statements made at the scene of the accident. It is the rule - among the railroad men to reserve their discussions. I They testified before the Jury yesterday, aa did ether witnesses, ths, t there was a sud don dip in the rails at the point where . the accident occurred. This was due to a , faulty track, so It was said. When the en i gine passed over, the footboard lurched to the east side of the track and it dropped so l low that it struck a lot of old plank ! which.-were lying beside tbe rails. This collision, produced the Jerk which pitched Niles Off the footboard In front of the en gine. Farsaer Severely lajared. Paul Armstrong, a fsrm hand In the em ploy -of Jake StronglandV living several miles out on west J street, was severely Injured ' yesterday morning while coming tilto town with a load of oats. He was driving raw team of boraea and tn pass ing along Q street, about Thirty-third, where there lias been a pile of old rails for some time, tbe wheel of his wagon waa caught on the end cf tbe rails and broken, down. The team took fright' and ran away. Armstrong was thrown out and landed on one of the rails. He was rendered unconscious and bad a rib free- ) tured. After be had been -carried to tbe . grug store In tne neignoomooa ana given medical attention he was able to be re turned to his borne.

PARTY LEAVES HAVANA SATURDAY Ueaeral Dell Placed In Command nt Reqarst of Mr. Taft, Wko Waa Long; Associated With Htm In the Phlllpplaea. HAVANA. Ocl. ll.-M3eneral Frederick Funston will not continue In command of the American forces in Cuba. Governor Taft announced tonight that he and Gen eral Funston will leave Havana for the I'nlted States on Saturday on the battle ship Louisiana. With them will go As sistant Secretary Bacon and the affairs of Cuba will be left in the hands of Gover nor Magoon and General J. Franklin Bell. In explaining this change of plans. Gov ernor Taft said: General Fnnrton Was summoned on a hurry call from the Pacific coast because h- wan well acquainted with many of the insurgent chiefs here and it wus thought lie coulrl aid us, us he did greatly, in bringing the men In arms to an agreement. General Funstt n was put temporarily in command of the troops In Cuba merely aa a convenience until General Bell should arrive. General Funston, Mr. Bacon and myself, with Mrs. Taft snd Mrs. Bacon and our secretaries are returning to our permanent duties. Cohans object to Pnnaton. Governor Tuft's special confidence In the chief of the general staff's ability to carry out the program the governor has Initiated resulted In the decision to continue Mm on the Island. Many Cubans of the faction to which Mendes Capote and others who organized the moderate party belong, were outspoken agalcst General Funston, alleg ing that he had deserted them In the war to throw off the yoke of Spain. Governor Taft did not take cognisance of this bit terness, as h'e was familiar with the cir cumstances under which General Funston. at that time, returned to the United States. Funston was then III and he had the con sent to return of General Garcia and other leaders, who appreciated the long service he had given their cause. Had the proposal to send three expedi tions to Cuba been carried out. General Funston would have remained at Camp Co lumbia as the commander of a brigade. The close association between Governor Taft sdn General Bell in the Philippines Influenced the provisional governor tu make a requisition upon President Ritose velt that General Bell le placed In charge in Cuba. Taft Stops at Key West. The party sailing on the Louisiana- Sat urday will touch at Key West, where Sec retary Taft desires to stop, in connection with a right-of-way across the military reservation for the railroad, which is be ing constructed across Florida Keys. Certain senators are auxlous that Secre tary Taft should facilitate this work by i disposing of the government's interest, and the secretary now sees the Importance, of the work, which will practically connect the United States and Cuba by ferry service. Twenty-rive marines have been ordered to proceed to Sancti Spiritus and Trinidad. At the latter place they will settle the friction between ex-rebels and ex-militla-men who have recently been disarmed. The trouble appears to have been caused by Colonel Olynn of the mllltla, who Is also colleoter of customs.

The correspondence of the committee is enormous and embraces every state in the union snd every civilized country in the world. Every letter of Inquiry Is answered personally and In detail. The resources of the state are so diversified that while alt localities will not suit every one, there Is in California a place to suit euch one. Tht aim of the committee is to Intelligently direct every' Inquirer so that he may finally be located to his satisfaction.

After an interregnum of two evenings in a course of projected lectures, owing to a temporary Injury of the eyes, which pre vented the deliverance of two of his scheduled lectures, Father Thomaa E. Sher. man, S. J., was able to resume his ad dresses Wednesday evening, when a large and representative audience comfortably filled Crelghton university hall. Twenty tth and California streets, to greet the e.nlnent and talented divine. A short program was rendered at the opening and closing of the lecture by mem bers of the choir frorr St. John's church. The . address Weds 1ay evening was a thoroughly scientific and analytical dis course sustaining tbe contention the Im mortal soul Is substantial, that Is, matter of substance in a material sense, and hla discourse was a special appeal to the reason supporting this contention. Father Sherman said: "The popular Ideas of God is an entirely mistaken idea. He is not a vague, distant 'something.' but a Father, Guide, Friend and Comforter In our every day life. Take for Instance the eye with' which He has so wondrously endowed us. How wondrous It Is to think thst through the agency of this mysterious adjunct which we fall the eye. each of us are greater artists than Rafael or Michael Angelo through the functions in enabling us to see pictures In nature's own colors, which are more wonderful than any ever painted. V "Tho eye and ear are only the common outer gateways to the soul. When you pick up the dally paper, by means of the eye and mind you find yourself In Cuba or the Philippines. Tou turn a page and art, science or religion Is there, and so It goes, all through the exercise of the faculties with which an all wise Providence has en dowed us." Continuing, Father Sherman said: "The human soul is a substance, and I say to you that the doctrine set forth by Herbert Spencer In his pyscolngtcal treatment of the human soul, contending that our souls INDIA AND CEYLON ; Tea ' la tr of known snd proved quality and value. It toulaius yv adul terants or luipurlUrs, but Is In fart all lea snd the beat of tea. Tsy and roDvluro yourself. ' McCORD-BRADY CO, . '.-v. . are disconnected particles in life's great scheme, Is shallow and stupid beyond words. I say to Spencert 'Can you have anything like a picture unless , you have It painted on some .substance?' JLnd .it is the same with our own souls which have more resistance and persistence than mere matter. Science teachea that the mate rial matter of the human body changes every seven or nine years, yet the soul. Is what makes one's personality and Identity sub stantial. Give me any definition of sub stance and I will apply your definition and prove to you that the' soul is more sub stantial than anything existent." , The lectures will be continued each even ing until and including next Monday even ing. Thursday evening Father Sherman will take as his text, the subject "Rock of Faith," being in the nature of an exposi tion of the nature, genesis snd .. rule of faith. '...
