CVneral Ruasell today said;
"I km da!lV answering ' Inquiries which
Indicate that all klnda vt unfounded ru

x auppoaed to b doing. '
"I understand that some of theae rumora
, have been cauaed by Judge Landl' fine
and troublea between the railroad and the
atatea In Michigan, Alabama and else
where, particularly over elate lawa reduc
ing ratea. Bo far aa. the flae la concerned,
It may hare operated to convince Investors
that auch part of their dividend aa come
from rebating and other, illegal practice
will be lea certain In the future.
"A for state railroad rate and contro

, swelled by exhorbltant local rates. My own
view Is that whether .1 Ijw.-r rate wl'I
lessen dividends or ln.-rase torn by in
creasing travel and nh'pinciii Is Mtfly
a matter of eEperlm.'.it. I prexun.e It
woe upon being convinced of till that
Borne of the railroads abandoned their
preliminary Injunction of state law and
authority aa of doubtful legality, even if
a permanent Injunction ahall be properly
upheld upon full proof and after some
little time for experiment.
"It will doubtlesa be the policy of thla
department to aid In the speedy determina
tion of all the queatlona involved in the
railroad rate controversy by the aupreme
court, and In that high tribunal the rights
of all will be safe and Boon settled. When
the department ahall have continued a
while longer enforcing lawa against re
bating and restraints and monopolies of

and less tainted prosperity.
PAVER IGNORES THE COUNCIL
One Contractor Refaaes to Recog
nise That Body in Aathor
Itr Over Him.
Thursday afternoon Councllmen Mc3o7
ern, Johnson' and Brucker will Inrpect the
curbing and gutterlnr on Bouth Twenty
fourth atreet, from Leavenworth to Vinton
street. Thla Inspection Is made becatiae of
the complalnte of property Owners along
the street, which have' caused delay In
payment of the firm which did the work.
According to Information given out at
the city engineer's office the work was
never In satisfactory condition. One In
spector caused changes to be made In about
8,200 feet of curbing and guttering, and
Knglneer Rosewater personally caused
about 6" feet to be completely removed
and replaced before he -would pass the
final estimate. 'After thes change wero
made the final estimate was passed, but
property owners were not .satisfied anil
protested to the council. Tuesday night E.
D. Von Court, the contractor, sent a com
munication to the. council declaring thnt
he had no relation with thajt'.'body, but was
working undor the orders of the City engi
neer alone, and that for this reason he
desired the council to either pay the bfll
or reject It. so that he could enforce Ha
collection In court.
Regarding the position taWn by" the con
tractor Mr. Rosewater says:
'The attitude of the contractor toward
the council la absurd. The- charter speci
fically provides' that the council hiust ap
prove the report of the city engineer, and
this glvea It full power to act In the prom
isee. I passed the estimate after all
changes required by me were made, but
It Is for the council to be Battened be
fore the bill la paid." -

DENVER, Aug. S. A special to the New
from Telluitde, Colo., says:
What is said to be the skeleton of W. J.
Rarney, the timber man employed on the
Snititler-L'nlon mine, who mysteriously
disappeared In the month of June, 19)1. was
exhumed yesterday near th Alt mill near
(lolU King basin, twelve miles from town
by Ueneral llulkeley Wells, manager of the
Smugglw-Unlon Mining company, and
oth rs.
According to Mr. Wells' account, the
skeleton was found In an improvised grave
oAid its location was pointed out by 8. eve
Adams, now In Jail In Idaho awaiting a
second trial on the charge of murder, when
he was here in June, 1806, In the cut-tidy
of Well.
It ws after Adams made the alleged con
fession which he afterward repudiated and
in which he is supposed to have acknowl
edged being the asxussln of Arthur Collins,
formerly general manager of the Smusgler
Cnlon mine, and to be familiar with Ihe
place where the bodies of W. J. Barr.ev and
Wesley Smith, a shift boss of the Lll-erty
Bell mine. were buried Arinms was
j brought down here by General Wells to
iKuni out me graves or the missing men.
When Wells and Adams went up Into the
Jold King basin thc-re waa more snow on
the ground than had been anticipated, and
several years having elapsed since the body
hsd been burled, Adams was unable to de
termine exactly where the grave was. He
showed General Wells the place according
to the best of his recollection. Adams
evidently gave an accurate description of
the place, for it Is understood little diffi
culty was experienced In uncovering the
grave.
A part of the body or skeleton Include!
the teeth and that portion by which Identi
fication could be most rcadllv established,
was brought to town by General Wells.
Barney Incurred the III will of the union
here by working at the SinuTgler-yiilon
mine after the atrlke In April. 1901. It was
this strike that caused the riots on July 8
of that year. Adams Is said to have told
Wells that Barney s body was strltp?d of
Its clothing, which was burned some dis
tance from his body. Afterward the body
was taken up and burled In another plare.
While here in l!v, Adams Is said to have
pointed out to Wells the Mr tree. In the
darkness, back of which he claimed to
have stood when he fired the fatal charie
of buekshot Into the bock of Manager Col
lins. He also Is said to have told Wells
w-here he threw the cartridges after remov
ing them from the gun.

LINCOLN, Aug. 8. Eastern and south
ern sections of Nebraska were last night
visited by one of the worst wind and rain
storm In recent year. In Lincoln more
than two Inches of rain fell In a short
time, the downpour being accompanied by
a daazltng electrical display. At Fremont
the 'electric wires were blown down and
the city was plunged In darkness. Wind
devastated Irving park, blowing down
many trees, Only trace of rain was
reported In the western part of the state.
.Trains were reported late last nliflit,

Te ephones and electric light were put
ou. of commission and for a number . of
hours the telegraph wire were down and
the city cut off from the outside. There
were so many live wires down that the
livery men refused to send out hacks and
many people who were at the graduating
exercises of the pharmacy department at
the normal school were unable to get home.
In the business portion a number of cellars
were flooded. The plate glass window of
London's Furniture store on Main streot,
wa blown In. The top of the smokestack
of the Brown Milling company's mfll was
tlown down. A washout east of Arlington

each day. A very light shower fell on Tues
day evening, but It had no effect on the
temperature. Relief came Wednesday even
ing. A heavy thunder storm came up from
the west about 6:30, accompanied by some
hall and a gale of wind. The thunder and
lightning was something fearful and Con
siderable damage was done In the vicinity
of town, but as the telephone service waa
badly crippled by the terrific electric storm,
little can be learned from the country as
yet. The heavy rain continued for three
hours, almost without Interruption, falling
In aheets between 8 and i o'clock. Several
records were taken thle morning, the ma
jority giving two and five-eighths Inches

PI.RAIIHR ftF-FURR ARB OAKRO
Xorsa Cornea Jmmt la Time to Catra
HrMrtrra aa the War Hoaso. . .
The storm which came up about 10 o'clock
last evening was In Bom respect as
severe as any of the- aoaee. The rain
came down In sheets and, while the play
of lightning wa not as incessant as some
times occurs It waa especially brilliant.
The day had been so oppressively hot that
an unusually large number of people for
a midweek night had gone to the pleasure
resort and to the summer assembly at
Rellevue. The rain came up Just In time
to catch many of these,, poir safety the
street car were stopped and on some
line It wa welf "toward midnight before
they were started galn., The open Bum
mer car afforded only, slight protection
against the rain and light summer dressea,
lingerie and prise creations of . the mil
liners' art presented a sorry appearance
by the time the .wearers, reached home.
Those who were caught in the -open
cars and compelled to wait until the car
started again were In a sad plight, but
their condition waa cheerful compared to
those who had been dropped oft at trans
fer points Just before the storm broks.
There waa nothing to. It for tbem but
to dodge into doorway, seek the shelter
of trees or anything that would break
a portion of the storm. From these
placea It waa a bedraggled, lot which the
first cars to resume thelf Journeys picked
up. There were so many of the unfor
tunates, however, that the sum of their
miseries found expression In levity.
The largest number of pleasure seekers
In any one body to get drenched was at
Krug park, where the Wise Memorial hos
pital picnic was being 1 held. Here fully
1,000 persons found themselves at the mercy
of old Jupiter Pluvlua, and the rain god
turned loose his floodgates as If mercy' to
him wa an unknown or- forgotten senti
ment; ho simply soused hla victim and
created some of the mos exciting scenes
that even he has witnessed for many a
day. Mayor Dahlman waa ' one of the
picnickers and Tie sought at various time
to allay excitement, but If ever the chief
executive of a great municipality was
helpless in the exercise of authority It was
Omaba's mayor then. The rain, however,
did not succeed In drowning out the good
humor of the crowd. Everybody, while
wet and running for shelter, laughed and
madu fun of his or her predicament.
Aside from the XOOO who attended the
picnic to contribute to. the hospital fund
many tickets were sold that were not
used, consequently a handsome sum was
realized The long prpgram of porta for
which prizes had been -contributed and
many entries arranged were canceled,
as well aa the balloon ascension. The after
noon was spent In amusing the crowds
of children which thronged through the
park and rushed - from roller coaster to
merry-go-round and Into every attraction
on the grounds In the evening, following
the concert by Finn's band. Mayor Dahlman
and his quartet appeared and after aeveral
songs by the quartet the mayor spoke
briefly. The Callendo band, concluded the
program, but by that time the rain waa
coming down In sheets and those who dared
sought the street cars' and hurried home.
The electric light poles kt Fortieth and
Dodge, Twentieth and Dodge and Thir
teenth and Mason caught fire from the
electric current and burned down.
The glass front on the north of Louis
Thoelecke's wallpaper and paint store- at
Twentieth and Fa rnarr. streets was blown
In and the rain flooded , the building. . A
large number of telephones wre put out
of service-By tkt wind and hhtnlng. fetriet'
car service' wa derhoraltjd for more than
an hour. After a number of car had been
put out of commission by the lightning
burning the armatures out the power was
turned off so as to prevent further dam
age and from 9:40 until 1 about 10:60 there
were no car running. Many people were
caught on th car when the power wa
turned off and compelled to stay there un
til the storm had abated. A large num
ber of people were caught at the different
pleasure resorts and on their way home,
and with few exception they were thor
oughly soaked. People attending the Chau
tauqua at Bellevue had much difficulty In
getting home and, besides getting wet. It
waa very late when most off them reaohel
town.
Several signs were blown down In dif
ferent parts of the city. A window In the
upper story of Courtney' grocery store at
Seventeenth and Douglas was blown in
and the room waa flooded with water
which ran down to all the other floor
arid did considerable damage to the stock.
The basement of that store waa also
flooded.
At 12:15 It again became necessary to
shut off the Current from the Farnam and
Harney street lines of the atreet railway.
The rain had ceased by thla time and be
lated passenger were not quite so badly
off, for they could at least -walk home.
Thl wa not the most pleasant task, how
ever, owing to the fact that the storm
had so Interfered with the electric light
system that all the light-, were out. The
recording angel will have to take -the cir
cumstances Into consideration when mark
ing up the remarks of pedestrians as they
stepped Into pools ot , water, and felt the
splash of the muddy fluid up the . male
trouser'a leg and the dainty feminine hose.

Rv. Dr. Frank W. GunssuTu of Chicago
president of Armour Institute, preacher,
traveler, lecturer and specialist in work
for boys, artlved at' Bellevue early Thurs
day morning. He spent an hour resting
On the lawn of the college overlooking
the beautiful valley. Dr. Ounsaulu la
rather' large man. with heavy gray hair
and gray moustache. His old and travel-
stained straw hat and coarse blue serge
coat Indicate that he has little taste for
sartorial elegance. But his conversation
la interesting. His oratory and word paint
ing, which have made Mm famous on
the platform and In the pulpit, are natural
and appear In hla conversation.
"We take much Interest In The Bee," he
said, "because we are to get a boy at
Armour Institute this fall on the scholar
ship founded by Edward Rosewater. The
work for boy I the all-Important thing
In the world, I believe. Central church.
Chicago, takes a wide Interest In these
things and gets lasting good from It as
well aa the boys do. In the Olenwood
home for boys there are 400 homeless
waifs; In the Saugatuck home for crippled
children are 310 poor little fellow maimed
for life, but they are happy there; I also
take much Interest In the Gadshill social
settlement. If It were not for these things
I would not lecture, for It I too hard
work."
Caatloa for I.nFolleMe.
Someone remarked that Senator La
Follette had been almost overcome by the
heat during his apeech.
"And he will most certainly be entirely
overcome," declared Dr. Qunsaulus. "In
the first place, he drives himself and, In
the second place, he consume vast quanti
ties of Ice water. The latter la suicidal. It
seems like a. man of his character should
know better than that. He certainly can
not last If lie continues such habits.
"It Is a noteworthy fact," he continued
In answer to a question, "that the men
accused of committing the horrible crimes
which now ' seem to be epidemic in New
Tork and other cities are from the Latin
countries of Europe. I have studied this
problem. Many 'of those representatives of
the scum of Europe who, come to America
annually think that since they are now In
the land of liberty they can do as they
please. That is their conception of liberty.
There la a part of the explanation of the
wave of crime. Also there Is less of a
wave than la popularly Imagined. There
Is more or less of this evil going on all
along. At present attention is directed to
It and every little suspicious action Is con
strued into crime or criminal intent"
WI1 Sail for London.
Dr. Ounsaulua ha dates until August .10,
when he will sail for London. He will
preach In the metropolis Sundays and then
return to Chicago to begin the year' work
at Armour Institute.
"I remember one trip I took across the
water when I saw Icebergs for the first
time," he said. "The sea wa one great
level plain of asure. It aeemed aa if a
hundred million sapphires had been melted
Into one great mans. And here and there
upon this silent plain of blue were the ice
bergs raising their fantastic forma to
heaven. They looked like fragments of
some magnificent temple. It wa an awful
and an ewe inspiring sight And there tn
the midst of that enchanted scene. In the
midst of that world scenes were we, human
beings In our cockle shell ship- Someone
hurried down to the state room of Phillips
Brooks, who was aboard, and who had ex
pressed a desire to see an Iceberg. As he
came near the door of Brooks' room he
heard a voice. It was a voice In prayer, tn
passionate prayer. It was Brooks, who had
seen the icebergs, and whose soul had been
Overcome with awe for hla great Crea'or.
'Oh, God, how I love Thee,' was, all he
could say." I
Pralars Bee's Plant on Fakera.
That Dr. Ounsaulua Is a close observer
of events In all cities ar.J states was re
flected In nothing he said more than Ma
commendation of The Bee for Its fight
against fakers of different sorts.
"I have noted with Interest the campaign
which The Bee has undertaken aga'nst
clairvoyants and fakera of similar color, and
I hmow much good will be done," he Bild.
"It has been truly said that 'man Is Incur
ably religious.' If he lacks the true, the
noble, the uplifting religion he must seek a
substitute. His nature feels some connec
tion with the occult, the world of spirits.
Thl la what brings business to the clair
voyants and such as profess to have com
munication with the other world. Few
people have any Idea of the amount of
