Some boys have been making a
practice lately of loafing about the street
corners and other public places for the
purpose of tormenting ladies. children or
old gentlemen. Last night they met on
the corner of Main and Douglas and when
an old gentleman passed one of the boys
ran against him almost knocking him
over, and then ran away laughing about
it. Officer Snyder captured the boy later
in the evening but through sympathy for
the boy, who was then in tears, the gentle
man made no charge against him and
ordered him released. This is not the first
offense of the same character, but it is the
first time the police has interferred and
now they say they will put stop to such
actions

KANSAS ALL TORN UP.
Senator Plumb's Death Unfortun-
ate for the State.

OMAHA. Dec. 23.-"Our state Is all
torn up" said Hon. Bailey P.Waggoner,
of Atchison, Kan, today. 1.-The death
OF Senator Plumb was a fearfully I'M
fortunate thing. He stood nearer the
people than any other man in public Of
flee in our state. His death leaves us
with an inexperienced delegation in
congress and not one of them capable of
carrying forward the work that ought TO
be done by the representatives of our
state in the national body
wv hon will the governor be likely to
appoint to fill the vacancy?"
There is pretty strong talk Of George
L. Anthony, and the springs are being
pulled in that direction. There is also
talk of ex-senator ingalls, being appoint
ed. Looking at it from a purely politi-
cal standpoint. | should say it would be
proper politics on the part OF Repub-
llcan governor to appoint ex-senator
ingalls,. He would have only one wear
TO serve before the legislature would
eject successor, but he would cut a
wide Swath just now as senator from
Kansas. He would be the head and
trOnt of the Kansas delegation beyond
the possibility of doubt in all import
ant matters, and the state patronage
would simply be slid into his pocket.
AS means OF getting even with those
who went back on the Republican party
TINS IS the opportunity of a lifetime:
but the appointment of ingalls, would
create terrible uprOar.

The Richest Man in Australia.



James TysOn-or, as he is Familiarity
called, "Old Jimmy'-the Queensland
millionaire, and reputed to be the
wealthieSt man in Australia, is well
known thrOug bout that continent. He
is at present making Il most determined
stand against the Queensland union
shearers. The Narrandera Ensign
thinks it is an appropriate time
to call attention to some of
the doings of Mr.. Tyson. 1t
says: We find Mr.. Tyson in New
South Wales, at the recent financial
crisis, Offering to take up $4,000, 900
worth of government treasury bills at
moderate rate of interest. AS the pub
lie well know, this offer was declined. A
few years back, when the large cathe-
raj that adOrnS Brisbane was in course
of construction, the collector for the
building fund called upon well-knOwn
mercantile firm for a subscription, but
to the rich people, who might be
in a better position to 'help
the work along" "Go to Jimmy
Tyson, he has more than any of u.s.
CUP to that time 'Jimmy's" name was
never seen on any list for more than
Ed. "Well," said the collector, las Ty-
son is a rich man | will 90 to him for a
donation" DO" said the head of the
firm, land whatever he gives you, we
will guarantee you the same amount"
The collector, few days later, meeting
Mr.. Tyson, related to him what had
taken place, and concluded by saying:
80, Mr.. Tyson, do not know what
amount the firm is going to give until |
have your name on my list" WELL"
said Mr.. Tyson Ill a gruff voice, give
me yer pen and ink and I'll give wees a
a bob or two" Jimmy" went into a
private room and wrote out check for
95, 200, AMI gave it to the astonished col
lectOr. On another occasion the subject
of this sketch sent lady $500 toward
parsonage fund" The lady, in jocu-
lar manner, sent the check back and
asked Mr.. Tyson if he had not forgotten
thr other "0'' at the emf of the figures.
Mr.. Tyson felt aggrieved and immedi-
ately burned the check, and did not sub
scribe one shilling. Although ne hrd
been known to refuse a Swagman
match unless he was paid for it, he has,
on the other hand, been known to help
widows and orphans to the tune of

left declaring the thing a swindle. He

but the expenses ran up to Sl39 without
the house management being paid.
ClOwherd is under contract to pay Sir
Edwin 800 per night, and fearing that
the amount could not be raised, he re-
fused to open the house. As result, a
lawyer and constable chased him all
over town. but failed to find him. To
say that Sir Edwin is disguised is not
properly stating, while the public de-
nounces him as a mighty Weakened
manager, and are bowling for the re-
turn of their money.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The Lancet's cor
respondent at Rome, who has on a num-
Der of former occasions given informa-
ton regarding the pOpe'S health which
subsequently proved to be absolutely
correct, telegraphs today confirming
rumOr which has heretofore been
treated as doubtful, that his holiness
was seized with a fainting fit after
presiding at the last consist
Dry. 1t was thought for
time, the correspondent states,
that death had supervened, but the
efforts of the physicians attached to the
Vatican, who We're hastily summoned,
sutficed TO restore animation, and the
sufferer rallied, though his condition re-
manned critical for several hours.
The fact that the pope had tainted
was kept profound secret at the time.
in compliance with standing order
strictly imposed upon the personnel of
the Vatican, according to which, even
in the event of the pOpe's death. the
fact is not to be divulged until the car
dinals present in Rome at the
time have completed certain acts
preliminary to tile conclave which
is to choose the new pontiff.
These acts are prescribed by secret
bulletin lately issued by the pope. and
their exact nature Is not known outside
of the DOpe'S having collapsed on the
occasion referred gained currency.
1t was impossible to obtain any con-
1irmatiOn of the story at the Vatican;
and for the same reason the world will
not learn authOritatively of the pOpe's
death until some time after the event.
Few lieve that his holiness can survive
much longer, but in reply to the APP
pealS which are made to him to abandon
his activity, the pope simply says: II
