Soma Front Boxes an Hand.
Secretary Moorhead haa several front
boxes which were returned at the latt
mlnuta for one reason and another and
these may be had for the season or may
be bought for a single performance. Nu-
nieroua Inquiries were made for these
boxes early In the season,' but at that time
Mr. Moorhead desired to give th holders'
of boxes last year the first option and did
not sell them. Now some cf these have
been returned and may be had at the Horse
show office.
Th fact that threa world' champion
are "to exhibit at the Hors show-seems to
be arousing Interest all over the state, for
where else could a person go to see three

the present Omaha Horse show. Jim, the

th official news agency:
"The coughing coptinues, though the em

Th emperor waa able to rise at his usual
early hour -this morning, after having
passed an unexpectedly good night. He
coughed less and slept more quietly. The
catarrhal Inflammation, however, ha not
diminished, and his appetite continues bad,
ulthough he takes sufficient nourishment
to maintain his strength. His temperature
was only slightly above normal, and at S
o'clock, an hour after his temperature had
been taken, the emperor received his aide

BERLIN, Oct. 12. Tho prevailing official
opinion here is that should Emperor
Francla Joseph of Austria die In the near
future the transfer of the crown to Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand would tsk plaoa
without a shock to the dual monarchy, or
without a controversy of moment arising
between Hungary and the new sovereign.
This opinion is based upon study of the
personalities the Hungarian and Austrian
statesmen and from knowledge of the pri
vate affair and policies of th Austrian
j court. The German government has taken
' care for years to be always In possession
Of full Information regarding the Austrian
situation. During the present period of

MEMORIAL TO JOSEPH TRAIN
Movement on foot la Scotland to
Remember I.lfe of the Well
' Known Antiquary.
LONDON, Oct 12.-(Speclal.)-There I
a movement In Scotland for the erection of
a memorial In Newton-Stewart to Joseph
Train, the antiquary. Train's chief claim
to fame rests on his association with Sir
Walter 'Scott' He was born In Ayrshire
and from 1813 to 1820 was engaged as a
surveyor of excise at Newton-Stewart
There ha gathered together a great num
ber of Galloway stories, legends and tra-
' dltions, which he placed from time to time
at the disposal of the wizard of the north,
, who used them tn some of his poems and
novels. Th acquaintance of the two was
. due In the first Instance to an act of kind
ness on the part of Scott. At Ballanlrae'a
printing works Scott happened to see some
' of th proof sheet of a volume of poetry
I Train wa publishing.
. Scott not only commended the poems,
but wrote to the author asking him to
place hi nam on th subscription list for
copies. Thereafter a correspondence was
begun which continued for many yearn
indeed, almost till Scott' death. Sir Wal
ter mad generous acknowledgement of
his Indebtedness to Train and urged th
latter to publish a collection of stories
himself. But the antiquary was a Scott
'worshiper, and preferred to ijlve him all
I the legendary and traditional material he
'gathered. Portion of "Guy Mannerlng '
and "Old Mortality" are directly traceable
. to assistance received from Train, and the
same may be said In a lesser degree of
some of th other novels. Train also pre
sented Scott with a number 'of articles of
antiquarian interest. Including the "Wallace
I Chair."

' poems, a well known "History of the Isle
of Man" and a work on that peculiar
sect, "The Ruehanltes." Ha Intended to
publish a history of Galloway, and was
engaged tn the preparation of the ma
terial when his communication with Scott
began.

Mr. Carlisle, who had defk room In the

and Brouwer In payment received a check
for $2,750.
A few days ugo Mr. Carlisle, shortly
after his return from abroad, learned by
accident that the farm had been sold and
that the check had not been turned over to
the manager. Brouwer, It Is claimed,
cashed the cheek and kent the proceeds.
When confronted with ' the cancelled
check, Brouwer broko down and confessed.
He said he had spent the money. It was

JOSEPH WOOD A DEGENERATE
Sixteen-Year-Old lew Jersey Mur
derer Confesses Because He
Wanted to Sleep.
CAMDEN, N. J.. Oct. 12.-Seemlngly
devoid of moral perception as waa Jesse
Pomeroy, when he murdered Katie Curran
In 1R74, Joseph Wood, th 18-year-old '.layer
of Ethel Nevln. 9 years old. is to be made
the subject of a quick Indictment for
murder by the grand Jury today. As the
boy has confessed his guilt, the only ques
tion to be determined Is what hi punish
ment shall be. It la likely that an early
date will be aet for the trial.
Young Wood's confession marks him as
one of those abnormalities that set the
milestones in the record of Juvenile crime.
Sixteen year old. with a mop of unkempt
tow-colored hair, his small face and
wizened features, the boy . ha evinced
not the slightest Indication that he has
any idea of the enormity of his deed. He
confessed because he wa sleepy and
wanted to go to bed to get his feet warm.
After telling a stwy that drove chills
through the i.ollcemen, Wood slept like
the child inat he la In ststure.
To the authorities the Wood boy presents
a problem. It Is generally conceded that
morally he la too deficient to deserve
death and too dangerous to be at Urge.
He probably will be found guilty of the
murder and then Imprisoned for a long
term of yes i s.

LONDON, Oct. 12 (Speclal.)-In conse
quence of the visit of the bishop of London
to America a young Church of England
curate In London has come near starving
to death. It waa not the good bishop's
fault, still less wa It the unfortunate
curate' fault It wo the fault, of the
Church cf England red tape.
The curate In question ws assistant to
a vicar tn on of th poorer London
polishes. Curates la England are paid by
their vicars, while the vicar ar paid by
the churcTi. There-e-vloare-who draw
big salaries and pay their curate very
jsmall salaries, and Uk life easy while
their curate do all th work. A wnurcn
of England vlcr cannot be deprived of
his living for a little thing Ilk that.
When a vicar diea the pay of th curate
stops until tho bishop of the diocese ap
points a new vicar. A few day after the
bishop of London started for Araerloa tho
vicar of the curate thi tory Is about
died. Conequently the curate' pay
stopped Immediately. He had no prospect
of getting any more pay until another
vicar was appointed. - And that appoint
ment could not be made until the bishop
returned from America.
1 The curate' salary was such a email one
that It Just sufficed to keep, him going.
He tied nothing saved up. In a word he
waa dead broke. Starvation stared him
in- the face. He appealed to the ecclesi
astical commissioners; most of thm were
away on their vacations. He received a
formal reply stating that they would urely
be back before Christmas, and the matter
would then be placed before a full board
meeting, as wa the rule with all ueh
applications. He wrote a more urgent
letter. In response he was asked for more
partlculara. He forwarded the particulars
Then he got another letter demanding proof
of his birth, his appointment and hi exist
ence. . j-
The correspondence grew, but the curat'
weight steadily decreased. About this
time the workhouse began to loom large
In his thoughts. Finally when he had
about abandoned hope the ecclesiastical
commissioners woke up and made him s
grant. Toe. exact amount of the grant la
not known, but it is said to be' so siwajl
that the young curate spends most of his
spare time praying for the return of the
bishop of London.
