Arranged In alphabetical order were the names of the agents of tho organi zation in the various cities, tho names of some of the most notorious Chinese criminals In tho country, the police say, and instructions written in Chincsa characters. The police are of tho opinion that the murderer of Sing escaped by the "underground." A man who made the restaurant his headquarters and who is known to have been acquainted with Sing and his white wife, had been missing since the night of the murder. The pollco found many letters addressed to this man from twelve white girls.

Four Lines at Detroit. DETROIT, Sept 6. The existence ot an ''underground railway' in Detroit for me purposroi smuggling unwese imo the United States has long been believed by the local authorities.

Sept 7.-Harry Kendall Thaw regrets that William T. Jerome was arrested In Coatlcook, charged with gambling, and denies that he or his lawyers instigated the arrest That he would havo been glad to furnish Jorome's J500 bond, ho said yesterday. a statement made by Thaw today was given out by Andrew Rosseau, the hotel proprietor who serves the fugitive's meals, and coincidental!), was one of Jerome's bondsmen. "Thaw thinks the Jerome arrest was a good joke, but a mistake," said Iloa- seau, "He assured me that if by any chance I lost anything as bondsman he would make it good to me. Of course, 1 did not accept the offer, because I don't bellevo the ball will be forfeited, although I understand Mr. Jerome has gone to Montreal." Jerome Nat at Coatlcook. Mr. Jerome was not here today to hear Thaw's expressions of good will. He went to Norton Mills, Vt, yesterday, soon after he was released on ball, and today, according to the understanding here, took a train for Montreal to pre pare for the court battle when Thaw Is brought before the king's bench on a writ of habeas corpus on September 15. Specially deputized to get Thaw back to the Matteawan asylum, Mr. Jerome has met first with victory, then with d- rear. At anerDrooKe he ousted Thaw from Jail on a writ of habeas oorpus only to moot with reverses here when Thaw's lawyers tied the immigration authorities' hands. They did this not only by ap pealing from the decision of yesterday ordering Thaw's deportation, but by serv ing tho Montreal writ, which may develop a court fight of long .duration. Prepare for Struggle. Most of tne Thaw lawyers, aro in Mont real making ready for the struggle be fore the king's bench and only one of the many counsel, Charles D. White, saw the prisoner today. "I understand counsel for the immlgrat tlon people are making an effort to have arguments on tho habeas corpus writ advanced to some date before the fif teenth,, but in this I do not bellevo they will be successful," sold Mr. White.

Busch, head of the Roman Catholic church In this part of the state, made before the Federation of Catholio So cieties at Milwaukee, was shown here tonight in a big roassmeetlng. Without a dissenting voice, a resolution condemning' the bishop's speech as a gross insult to everyone hero and not based on fact was adopted, and all speakers praised the local labor and moral conditions at the Homestake mine and denounced tho bishop in no uncertain terms.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN.'. BcdL 7. (Sneclal.)-The mystery surrounding the death of tho two boys round near Havciock last night was further dtenened tnrtnv when nt tlm naxt mortem examinations it was discovered that both of -the boys had been shot. Last Thursday mornlntr John Itva. IS years ot age and George Dlmer, a lad 9 years old, started out from Havolock for a nun. They never returned and on Saturday evcnlrur the bodies were found. the elder lad lying in a crouching position face down with the Uttle fellow on top Of him. Tho bodies were In fin mlvanrnl utage of decomposition at tho time of rinding them and prevented any investi gation as ot the cause of their death. The Older bov. Itva carrirA c ahnt mm while Dimer had, a M-callbro rifle. They were sen frequently by different people during the day.i but when they failed in show up the next day the father of the smaller lad began a search for him, but did not ask any assistance. Later others helped in the aeach but it xvnm nni ttntll Saturday evening that the bodies wero xouna by ueorge Stroh. Cans Close to Bodies. The two guns were found close to tne bodies, the shotgun still loaded, but the rifle had been fired. It waa at first thought that the younger one had become overcome with the heat and that the older lad ad attempted to get him to a nearby farm ouso and wan also over come by he hot sun. but the examination today discloses that both boys died from rifle shots 'presumably fired from tho 22-callbro rifle carried by the younger lad. One theory given, out by Dr. WllUnms, who conducted the post mortem ex amination at the Havelock undertaking rooms, is that the older boy shot tho younger and then killed, himself, though It is hard to accpunt for this as tho younger lad was lying on top of tho older boy when found. The doctor bases his opinion on the fact that the older boy had had a quarrel with an older brother of the young lad who iad wanted him to keep away 'from the little fellow, and as he thought the world of the younger Dlmer the doctor thinks that In a spirit of depression caused by the thought that he could not associate with the llttlo fellow he killed him and then shot himself. Beriff Hyers Is worklnr nn , - a"cl hopes to discover something which .., mm to ciear up the mystery. The fact that the pockets of the Rys . boy were turned outside leads some to think It might be a case of murder and robbery. MILITIA PREPARES FOR COMING OF COLD WEATHER CALUMET, Mich., Sept. 7.

It will bo a remarkable sight to see forty different englnei differing In weight and in power from the Immense power machines to those ot tighter weight and less power especially adapted for Use on the small farm. This exhibition marks tho begin ning ot practical adaption of mechanical power to farm uses throughout the middle west Heretofore, there have been here and there wealthy farmers and large land holders that have been using the larger1 types of engines for farm work, but there Instances have been isolated and sporadic, and mechanical power for the farm has not yet been generally adopted. The) stimulus riven to this departure In farm' operations by the exhibition at Fremont I will beur fruit in the near future. It is1 beginning to be seen by eve' body that I improved and more thorough work with' the soil is necessary for conserving the1 producing capacity of the land and for in creasing general farm production. Those best informed are firmly oJ the opinion that this marvelous middle -west soil it handled In the right way may be made continually to produce more, may at the same time have its capacity for produc tion continually increased. The first step in this direction s the use ot adequate power for handling trie soil. This tractor exhibition at Fremont brings this matter ot economlo and practical power for the farm directly to the attention ot those who in the near future will have to adopt It, if they are to keep their relative rank among the army of producers.
