MRS. WEIGH EXPLAINS.
All About Her Visit to a Sixteenth
Street Saloon.

u
Street Saloon.
Mrs. w. p. Welch, who was arrested Tues
day on a charge of adultry with one f.. f.
Seward and the story of whose sad life was
published in the BEE, sent for the reporter
yesterday to explain the circumstances
under which she and Seward were caught
in Sixteenth street saloon by her hus-
band one day last June. She said
il was just after a stormy scene with Mr.
Welch, and she left the house. Meeting Mr..
Seward on the street, she asked him if he
would not take her in this place and get her
glass of beer, for she felt that she needed
some stimulant TO sustain her. "Now," she
continued, "the idea of this man trying to
make anything evil of my being in there
when he and had often been there before,
and with Mr. Seward, too, who in
yariablly paid for my husbands 5s drinks ink,
occasions. Well, he had evidently
been following me- and rushed in upon us in
a fictitious frenzy and threatened to knock
our brains out with o club he was hourishing.
l arose, mind you, not Mr.. Seward, and or
dered him to leave, telling him that had not
only taken care of myself from childhood.
bnt had supported him, too, and was fully
able to take care of myself that evening. or
course he being an arrant coward, left, and
that's all there was about it,"
SIS that all, Mrs. Welch"
''Yes, sir; / simply wanted the public to
know the truth and the whole truth concern
ing all my actions as a respectable married
lady. Mr. Welch cannot produce one particle
of evidence against my good name, as you
will probably learn at my trial next Friday.
Good morning"
AS Officer Cullen was passing down
Fourteenth street, north of Douglas,
he was attracted by the suspic-
ious actions Of IA couple OF men in an
alley. On approaching them they
officer gave chase a short distance, but
they disappeared into some obscure re-
cess. On examining the bundle the
officer discovered it was n coil of lead +,
1t is not known what they intended
doing with it unless they expected to
grow suddenly rich by going into the
plumbing business.

When person with a delicate con stitution
has tendency to catarrh or consumption
whether this tendency is inherited or results
from taking cold easily-it is noticeable that
that person Invariably loses flesh and loses
strength, showing that the nutrition is inter-
fered with.
in such a case the sufferer should at once be
placed under influences that VIII restore the de-
fective nutrition and lead to invigorate the con-
stitntion. -
Ii is to be remembered that in every case the
presence of catarrh Is an evidence OF predispo-
sition to consumption, and no matter how
slight the attack may be, II should be treated
with the greatest care, and the treatment should
be continued until all traces Of the catarrh haye
disappeared. . .
III the catarrh Is allowed TO reach the small
est tubes in the lungs-which condition IL indi-
Gated by the splitting up OF yellow material
then Immediate attention to the malady is de.
manded or serious lung trouble viii result.
CataIrh Is, nine times of ten, the eau that
produces consumption, and hence no one can
afford to neglect case OF catarrh, however
slight. 1t Is easily cured II taken In time and
treated regularly and correctly by a specialist.
If left to itself IL Is rarely cured without n
change OF climate but with each new cold 1t
gets more and more troublesome, extending al.
ways little deeper into the lungs, until cure
becomes difficult and sometimes impossible.

A Cheering Promise.

The announcement comes from Wash
ington that Chairman Mills Of the ways
and means committee has requested
several members OF the house who nave
measures entitled to early consideration
to have them disposed of in order to
clear the decks for tariff action, which
may come on within a week. There Is
n cheering promise in this which will
be received by the country with graf
ification. The indications until now
have been that another month might
pass before the committee would have a
bill ready for reporting, and such n
prospect was not regarded with favor.
There did not seem to be any suf-
ficient reason why the committee
should require so great time as three
months in the preparation of measure
of tariff revision, and there certainly
was none If the general interest had
been considered regardless of special or
local interests. Care and deliberation
were certainly required, and an excuse
may be found in the desire of the COM
mittee to present a bill that would have
chance of the approval of all members
OF the house favorable to tariff reform,
but time enough has been spent on the
bill to meet every requirement and
there Will be harm to all interests in a
much more prolonged delay.
AS we stated few days ago the
business interests OF the country are
waiting to learn what the policy
Of congress is to be respecting this over
shadowing subject of taxation, and the
suspense is depressing and damaging.
All industrial enterprises and all mer-
camille operations are under cloud of
uncertainty. The country expects that
taxation will be reduced and that tariff
duties will undergo revision, but the
business interests of the country cannot
discount possibilities. Thus check Is
placed upon enterprises and upon trade
in all departments, and this will con-
tinue so long as congress procrastinates
with this revenue question. Re-
| lief will not ensue imme-
mediately on the presentation
OF the measure which the ways and
means committee is now preparing, but
that will 60 a long way toward determ-
ining the probable outcome of legisla-
tion on this question, and the drift OF
discussion will speedily enable business
| to place itself on reasonably safe lines
| which, under present conditions, it can
| not do.

country as wise and benefcent. II is
obviously absurd TO suppose that 30 large
and inviting an area as Is contained in
the Sioux reservation can be perpet-
ually kept from settlement in the inter-
est Of few thousand Indians, and II it
is now an obstruction retarding the
growth in population and the material
progress of the territory the time is
already ripe for opening it. This seems
to be the view that prevails in congress
and gives favorable promise that u
measure for throwing one-half of this
reservation open to settlement will be
passed at the present session.

THEY ARE NOT VAGRANTS.
Some Strange Arrests Recently Made
by the Police.

by the Police.
L. G. Taylor and Myron Z. Cronkhitc, of
Jones county, Iowa, are in town and intend
to stay here for some time. They are in the
map business, and since the last week of
November last have been selling maps for
Rand, McNally g. Co. and H. G. Tunison
throughout the states of Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa. When they struck Omaha they
struck snag, for one Fred Sthmid had them
arrested on the charge of ''confdencing' him
out of SO. The charge, however, was not
proven, and the police department entered a
second one of vagrancy, on which they were
sentenced to sixty days, with third of the
time ON bread and water Their attorneys,
Mahoney Minahan & Smith, were convinced
Of their innocence and furnished them with
the bonds necessary to set them free until an
appeal could be taken to the district court.
They made use of their freedom by going
over to Council Bluffs and obtaining atfidavits
from a pumber of well known residents with
whom they had done business during the
week previous to their arrest, and thus prov
ing cOnclusivelythat they were not by any
means vagrants. Among the signatures OBJ
tained were those of Il. S. Barnett, justice of
the peace, H. A. Balinger, E. E. Miller, w.
f. Henderson, G. +. Heisler, G. j. Spencer
and number of others. In addition to this
they had some five hundred maps at the
Union Pacific freight office, and carried
watches and a sufficient amount of money to
pay all their current expenses, so they fail to
see how they can by any stretch of imagina-
tion be classed under the head of ''vagrants." !"
Should their appeal be sustained by the dis
trict court it is probable they will try and
find out if the city is willing to pay for the
time they have lost, and the money they have
expended through the of1iciousness of some of
its officials.
During the week W. J. Coonch, Tenth
street barber and William Hennessy, an en-
ploye of the Paxton & Vierling company,
were also arrested on the same charge, only
to be discharged as soon as their case was
heard

JOURNALISM has lost one of its best
known and most unique representatives
in the death of d. r. Locke, editor of
the Toledo, Ohio, Blade, whose nom de
plume of petroleum v. Nasty" was ia
miliar to every newspaper reader in the
country. Mr.. Locke had been identi-
fed with newspaper work for more than
thirty years, but he owed hisfame to the
peculiar ability he developed as politi-
cal satirist, clOaking his pungent thrusts
in a homely humor and a faulty orthog
raphy that gave his writings in this
liue great popularity with the masses.
He was the editor of coun-
try weekly paper in Ohio, dur
ing the war, when he begun
writing the ''Nasby" letters, and UP to
this time had won no reputation with
his pen. He made several successful
lecture tours, and about the close of the
war became connected with the Toledo
Blade, which finally became his prop
erty almost entire. Here he developed
superior business ability, and the paper
under his management grew to be very
profitable. His one other literary
J.
achievement was as the author of the
comedy ''Widow Bedott," which had a
period of great success under I.ocke's
personal management, and which he
afterwards sold for a generous sum. AS
his means grew his public spirit grew
with it, and the city of Toledo
possesses several notable monu-
ments of his enterprise. He was for the
last two or three years an ardent advo-
cate of the temperance cause and did it
u good deal of service. A hard worker,
with strong practical side to his ma
ture, he was genial among his friends
and enjoyed the respect and confidence
of all who knew him. The peculiar
productions OF his pen that gave him
fame had their day and their influence,
and there are thousands of readers in
Ohio and elsewhere who will sorely re-
gret the death Of Petroleum V. Nasty" I"

MAYOR BRoATCH is at last beginning
to show little common business sense.
He now thinks the clerks in the various
business departments Of the city are
being paid salaries that are excessive.
But why has he approved appropriations
for clerk hire unauthorized by ordi-
nance, and even prohibited by the
charter, as Is the. case with regard to
deputies in the city treasurer's Office;
Why has he not long ago insisted that
the charter provision requiring the
number and salaries of employees to be
fixed by ordinance be carried into
effectY The new charter has now be en-
in force over eight months. Tax-eaters
and barnacles have been put upon the
city's payroll by the council. without
even protest from the mayor, and the
appropriations and warrants to pay
them have been sipned by him.

Now is the time for employers and
employees to agree upon scale of wages
for the ensuing building season. The
avoidance of strikes is equally bene-
fetal to both. Uncertainty as to
whether contracts can be carried out
paralyzes the building activity and
tends to keep the worlingmen idle.
Both interests would be best served by
coming to a definite agreement and
adhering to the same throughout the

Ella Wheeler IVilcOr.
There lies in the center of each mans heart
A longing and love, for the good and pure.
And If but an atom or larger part,
tell you this shall endure, endure
After the body has gone to decay
Yea, after the world has passed away.
The longer live and the more see
OF the struggle Of souls towards the heights
above,
The stronger this truth comes home to me,
That the universe rests on the shoulders of
A love so limitless, deep and broad
That men have realmed it and called it God.
And nothing that ever was born or evolved
Nothing created by light or force,
But deep in its system there lies dissolved
A shining drop from the great love source
A shining drop that will live for aye
Tho Kingdoms may perish and stars may die
