Landlord Stevens of the Stevens House at Norfolk, was in Canaan yester- day and we accidentally met him at the post-ofice. In conversation he en- phatically stated that the newspaper reports that Norfolk was crowded with summer boarders were misleading and were an injury to landlords, boarding house keepers and their would-be guests. He says the impression has gone abroad that it is next to impossi- ble to secure accommodations in Nor folk and he frequently receives enquiries if he cannot find room for 8 party for a day or two if not longer. He says Nor folk can accommodate twice as many people as are there at present and all the hotels and nearly every boarding house have excellent rooms to rent, in fact some desirable boarding houses have not single guest and would be glad to accommodate people.

Five Thousand Dollars in Pennies

The New York sub-treasury contains
at present more than $3.50 0,000, 900, and
this sum, large as it may appear, is only
part of the national cash account, says
the Mail and Express. Calling at one
OF the Offices, q reporter saw mau Oh
fering some of the old postal currency
for redemption. This currency was
issued during the war, and as the latter
closed twenty-three years ago it was to
be supposed it was all redeemed. The
clerk, however, informed him that
small amounts were constantly brought
in, but he added that ''$l5, ,0O0,-
900 are still out" Most OF this,
no doubt, got worn out or de-
stroycd, and thus our government is
A large gamer. The exchange OF cents
'or larger currency is conducted at the
same desk, and while standing there he
saw "A man bring bag which contained
ten small bags. He said that each Of
the latter held So III cents. The man
took his $50 in currency and in few
moments another man came up and
said: Il want S25 in cents" He handed
over his currency, and rs he departed
he said that they were wanted by
bank. This exchange is constantly go
ing on, averaging $1,000 day. The
banks, for instance, never receive any
cents or, indeed, any other small com
from depositors. They are, however,
constantly paying it out as required by
checks, and consequently they send for
it to the sub-treasury, which is supplied
by the railroads and saloons. The Broad
way railroad and the Third avenue road
each average u surplus OF cents and
other small coin of $500 day, and they
exchange it in the above mentioned
manner.

OF another thing: General Harrison will
meet every possible charge, imaginary and
true, that can be brought against him, and
he will meet IL promptly, squarely and fairly.
There is nothing of evasion about him. He
is q bold fighter. | remember when he called
up his bill to divide Dakota and make a state
of the southern half Of the territory, that he
announced TO. his democratic col
leagues on his committee that he wanted
them TO be thoroughly ready for the
fight which would ensue. He even went so
far as 10 tell General Butler, of South Caro-
lima, and other democratic members of the
committee, some of the pointf he intended TO
make in his speech, and gave them some of
his statistics He wanted to give them
good opportunity to meet his presentations.
The speech General Harrison made on the
floor was one of the strongest ever delivered
on the question of statehood for territories,
and if you will look into the congressional
record and read the dialogue that was almost
constantly taking place between the Indi-
anian and South Carolinian you will see that
it was a keen fight between two we'll
equipped warriors.
General Harrison" said the senator in
conclusion, had an arrangement in his com
mittee room and about his desk on the floor
of the chamber which indicated that he was
a student Of the first water. / have often
noticed that the newspaper clippings he pre-
served and the leaflets and committee reports
always bore upon strong points in law, and
had connection with the highest order of
rinciples-something that ne could use to
advantage in his work. He never tried 20
load his memory with the stuff which floats
around among men who throw away
their time and keep their minds
swimming in the riffraff of the
day. | used to often go over to his desk and
ask him where | could get information on
subjects in preparing reports or making
speeches, and he was one of the best in
formed men ever met He could instantly
tell the book and page where could find the
information | wanted; he would call the
committee report where the precedent was
established, and he could give the briefest
and best analysis of constitutional point
that l could find anywhere about the senate.
He grasped an idea with both hands, as it
were, and he never had any trouble to ex-
plain it in simple way, 1t showed that he
was the strong man who was used to making
mental diagrams and explaining them to
people in simplicity. In private conversation
he always gave time and attention, and never
insisted upon forcing his opinion or talking
to the exclusion of others. | have great
anxiety to see his letter of acceptance. 1t
will be marvelously strong document. He
can write an inaugural address that will fill
the hearts of the American people with pa
triotism and enthusiasm. Talk about your
Jeffersonian simplicity of the white house, |
venture the assertion that General Harri-
son will set an example that subsequent
presidents will be compelled to follow on &C
count of its universal popularity"

WAS FRANK RYAN MURDERED
A Dying Man Found on the Side
walk in South Omaha.
BULLET WoUNr IN HIS ABDOMEN.
His Supposed Assailant Under Ar
rest-The Victim Still Alive,
but His Death Sure TO Oc-
cur Before Morning.
BULLET WOUND IN HIS ABDOMEN.


Jack Ryan, an employe at F'owler's pack
ing house IN South Omaha, was found lying
on the sidewalk on Twenty-fifth street near
Collins drug store last night in dying
condition. AS Constable Ben Finnerty and
James McVey, citizen, were walking along
the east side of the street they found Ryan
lying on the walk. He gasped ''Im shot ~
but was unable to say anything more, and
has not spoken since. He was carried INTO a
drug store and the DR.. Kelly's were called in.
Upon examination bullet wound was found
in his abdomen about an inch above and on
the right of the navel. From the drug
store he was removed to the residence of
DR.. Leml1a, corner of Twenty fifth and
N streets, whore he now lies.
He came to South Omaha about two years
ago from Peoria, III.
No weapons were found on him, and if he
was accidentally shot by some one it is very
improbable that he should have been left on
the walk to die. The general opinion is that
he was the victim of a murderous assault.
AT the Downs house house, Immediately
opposite the place where Ryan was found,
some of the boarders were seated on the
porch. They heard two shots in quick sue
cession but paid no attention to them on ac-
count of the noise made during the night by
fire crackers and other explosives. After
the two shots were fired they overheard a
remark made by one of two men who passed,
II don't care if he dies. l would have done
the same thing if he was my brother"
After midnight James Ferguson, who was
with RYAN in the fore part of the evening,
was found. Upon his statement Frank Of
finheimer, a teamster in the employ of Fow-
Ter Bros, was arrested. fergu-
son says he and Ryan were pass
ing the barn where Offinheimer
kept his team and went in out OF the rain.
Otfinhemer ordered them out. Not moving
as fast as Oftlnheimer desired he drew re-
volver and shot the ball striking Ferguson.
After OHinheimer's arrest Ohicer
Archie McCracken went TO his house
and asked his wife to let him see her hus-
bands revolver. it was given him, and one
chamber of it was empty. He brought the
weapon to the police station and Judge
Reuther was awakened. A mid
night preliminary hearing was held
and Offinheimer bound over to the
district court in $1,000 bonds, in default of
which he was remanded to Jail, Offinheimer
will neither deny or admit his guilt, evencing
a desire TO wait before making any state
ment of his connection with the affair.
Ryan at last reports was slowly sinking
and still unconscious. No hope of recovery
is entertained, his physicians expressing the
belief that he will die before morning.

Why the Postmaster General Opposes

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Postmaster General
Dickinson has written letter to Chairman

which he vigorously attacks what is com

which was put on the postotfice appropria-

the postmaster general to contract with
American built vessels to carry the mails at
compensation not exceeding for
each outward trip 81 per nautical
