And, in matters which concern the

Marshall, a political prisoner--snd
boy Of twenty at that--whose par
don has been granted-on condition
OF his leaving the country, is once
more relegated to the malarial depot
OF Oahu prison. Let us recite the
incidents. Marshall With all the
wisdom and experience OF his age
went out with the rebels to ass st in
the emeute of Jan 7th. Later he
surrendered with others. Young

pardoned-the boy induces his nurse

The following is the Stars state
ment on the political situation:
"Instead OF showing any inclina-
tion to back up the threats OF some
of her hot-bed subjscts in Hawaii,
Britain has refrained from So ding
gun boats and warships and cruisers
and torpedo destroyers to collect
damages, svenge outrages upon
British subjects and wipe out the
records OF the court martial"
On the contrary, Great Britain
has said to Hawaii: "If subjects to
the Queen plot against your Re-
public, or take the field in arms
against it, or aid or abet or counsel
revolution against it, you can try
them by military commission, Danish
them, subject them to all the exi-
gencies OF martial law. OF course
no innocent man shall be- harmed.
When there is conviction it must be
on sufficient evidence. But we re-
cognize fully your right to quickly,
summarily, even harshly resent any
assault on Your government and we
find that your military commission
is legal aud regular tribunal"
We doubt il the Star can find
authority for it's quotation marks

"There is every reason to believe
that the country has entered upon

States the Star in reference to
pardoning political prisoners:
''It fills it with a firm be-
lief Of power and authority
aud tho conviction that in ord nary
and proper course OF events the
Great Government OF Great Britain
will continue be friend and ally
and valuable adviser This makes
the Republic feel safe aud solid.
The Republic is not losing
sleep in worry over the outcome OF
its Dnrrell indemnity dispute with
the United Atates. The country
has not yet passed upon the mill
tsry commission, but there have
such things over there and in Eng
land they do not"
What that means we do not know
and from the wording we csunot
make out. But il it m sans pulling fes-
theirs out Of the Eagles tail, the Star
had better crawl back into its shell.
I: is no use now trying to work the
British Lion up as protector
against the American Eagle.

EDITOR SCHME|SER FLEES,
Off to Chicago to Escape Pay
ing Damages to Miss
Geiger.
The Breach of Promise Scandal
Causes Him to Quarrel With
Ills Wealthy Wife.

OMAHA, NEBR., July 5. - Edward
Schmeiser, who has been editor of the
Daily German Tribune and still has posi-
ton here with fixed salary but who dis
appeared recently, has landed in Chicago
after start for Plattsmouth. He took all
his clothing, and his wife doubts that he
will return. He is supposed to be seeking
employment in Chicago, principally be-
cause of the annoyance of the breach of
promise suit of Anna Geiger, who recov-
cred $1,000 from him last month and mar
ried soon afterward in Council Bluffs.
Schmeiser came here from Vienna in
1892. In Vienna he had been engaged to
Miss Geiger, but came to America without
her knowledge of his intention. He was
in the humble business here of peddling
insect powders and cockroach traps, but
in some way he got acquainted with Mrs.
Frank Long, the widow of wealthy
banker, and married her.
He then rose to prominence here bought
the Tribune and became leader in politics.
But Miss Geiger followed him across the
water, and after working in Chicago dur
ing the Worlds Fair, located him here and
last fall came here and sued him for breach
of promise, $4,000 damages and the return
of some money borrowed of her. This suit
ruined Schmeiser and he had quarrels
with his wife and had to sell the paper,
though he is still connected with it.

VICTIMS OF THE DISASTER
Whole Families Stricken Down
by the Fall of the Bristol
Bridge.
In All Over Seventy Persons We're
Injured and Many of Them
VIII Die.

BRISTOL, IND, July 5.-Whole fami-
lies in this hamlet and adjacent territory
have been stricken down by yesterday s
fearful bridge disaster, and there is hardly
household that has not one or more
MANNED or suffering lying in darkened
rooms. To-day there has not been nearly
enough doctors in Bristol to care for the
wounded, though they have come from all
the surrounding towns, although of the
600 men, women and children of Bristol
there is not an uninjured one who is not
attending the sick.
Dr. Charles Dutrow's spine and ankles
are cruelty injured and pain has made
him delirious. Mrs. Little, whose legs and
arms were broken and spine injured, can
not live. There are also others who will
probably die.
But Bristol is not alone in bearing the
burden of a heavy grief. She was hostess
for dozen towns yesterday, and her guests
came from Elkhart, Middleburg, Mottville,
Three Rivers, Porters, Sailor, Jefferson,
Washington, Union and other hamlets of
Indiana and Southern Michigan. Many
OF them were last night carried away in
farm wagons, bleeding and suffering from
their wounds, and others are being cared
for here, being too i'll to be moved. The
list of injured includes seventy men,
women and children. The injured living
IN Bristol number forty-seven and the re-
maInder are those from the surrounding
towns mentioned.

TRAILED BY PINKERToNs
Part of the Loot Said to Have
Been Found at Their
Home.
QUICK WORK OF DETECTIVES,
inspector Thrall Confident That the
Right Men Have Been
Captured.

CANYONVILLE, Or, July 5.-The rob-
bers of the Oregon Express in Cow Creek
Canvon on the night of July are now be-
hind the. bars Deputy Sheriff George
Oujne and two Pinkerton detectives were
their captors.
John Case, alias Mcdowell, was arrested
about nine miles east of Canyonville late
last night and incarcerated in the Riddles
fail. This morning James Poole, the al
legged confederate of Case, was captured by
Quine in this city. When Poole was told
to halt, he responded that he did not have
to- Quine drew his revolver and COM
PEELED Poole to throw up his hands. He
was placed in the jail in this place, and
later was taken to Riddles and placed in a
cell near that occupied by Case.
Michael Dean, farmer living two miles
east of the scene of the robbery, Identifies
the captured robbers as two men VINO
passed his house on the night of the hold
up. When Dean was shown the horses Of
. the two men he pointed out one of the
animals as that ridden by one of the sup
posed robbers on the night in question, and
positively identified the saddle. Quine
has a part of seamless sack which had
been found at the train, and which
was torn in zigzag manner that left an
angular notch in a section of the sack.
Quine secured from the person of Case a
String torn from a seamless grainbag.
This section OF string also had a notch in
1t that exactly fits the section of the sack
found at the scene of the holdup. Quine
claims that he and the detectives tracked
tie robbers direct to the home OF POOLS
father.
:. Ouine and the two Pinkertons have gone
to .Poole's home to arrest old man Poole.
The, quartet is well armed and shooting is
expected if any show of resistance is
offered by the Pooles. There are four other
Poole boys besides two LOW under arrest.
=. It is reported this evening that large
part of the loot was found in Poole's house,
in an old pair of overalls.
A strange happening in connection with
the arrest of the alleged robbers was the
surrender of Albert Poole, who early this
morning gave himself UP to Sheriff Sham
brook. He did not surrender as train
robber, but as an answer to an Indictment
that was booked against him for cattle
stealing.
Case claims to be related to the Pooles,
and has a bad reputation. James Poole is
a desperate character and has been in the
penitentiary several times. He was con-
victed of cattle stealing in Idaho, and mur-
dered man at Elk Creek, Douglass Coun-
ty, but could not be prosecuted owing to
the death of witnesses. There was war
rant in the Sheriff's hands for Poole's
arrest for cattle stealing. 1t is believed
that if Poole and Case are not directly con-
cerned in the robbery they can furnish in
formation to the officers that will lead to
clew to the whereabouts of the culprits.

ALL THE FAMILY PERISH.
Turned on the Gas While In
a Room With Wife and
Children.
NO MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME.
1t Is Supposed That Frederick He'll
man, Who Did the Deed,
Was Insane.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 5.-Frederick
Hellman, contractor, last night MUIR
dered his wife and four children by
asphyxiation, and died with them. The
victims of the horrible crime we're: Ida
Hellman, the wife, "a years old; Fritz
Hellman, II years; Ida Hellman, IL
years; Willie Hellman, 8 years. Hedwig
Hellman, years; Frederick Hellman, 36
years. -.
The place of the tragedy was at. the
Hellman cottage, sol Cornelia street.. The .
house was small but it was their own. and
the Hellman family was supposed to. be
living happily together. >:*-: :
That the murder = was deliberately.
planned by the father of the family during
the past few weeks seems beyond doubt.
Ever since Hellman built his house.it has
been supplied with gaspipes, but there
has been no connection with the gas
main, and there were no fixtures in: the
house. Several weeks. ago Hellman had
connection made and fixtures put. .in=.the
family bedroom only, the entire family
sleeping in one small room. 1t seems now
certain that Hellman had the gas. put in
for the express purpose of using it.in= the
murder of his family. .....s
The gas was turned on after the family,
excepting the husband, had gone to sleep
and none regained consciousness. The
body of Hellman showed evidence of
struggle. He first shut the dooran win
dows, then turned on the gas. and lay
down to die with his family. !. ::=.s IF:
There is only one explanation for the
frightful deed and that s:-that Hellman
L L, l E.; y.
well provided with worldly goods and to
have had no family dissensions. He was
naturally of a. morose disposition, but no
one thought he would commit suicide or
murder.
He left note for his brother in which
he gives instructions regarding the dispo-
sition of his property. He says that he
will not be living when the note is re-
ceived, but states in it nothing relating to
the preineditated death of the rest of the
family.

MARRIED IN THE PORTICO.
Carl BrotUne and His Bride at the
National Capital.

National Capital.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 5.-Carl
Browne lieutenant in Coxey's Common
wealers, reached Washington yesterday
morning at 6 80 o'clock, and half an hour
later was married to his companion, Ma
mie Coxey, in the portico of the Capitol.
There was no blowing of trumpets or beat
ing of drums and the Capitol police, who
were supposed to be on guard, were COM
pletely outgeneraled.
After leaving the Burlington and Quincy
railway station Browne threw out picket
in the person of Commonwealth, who is
now employed as heldic driver, and after
following circuitous route entered the
Capitol grounds, when informed that the
coast was clear. Browne and his bride
proceeded to the Senate wing and there
signed marriage agreement, which had
been previously drawn by the ex-lieuten-
ant, with the cab-dIiver as witness.
This is the story Browne tells, and
which his wife pronounces accurate. The
Capitol police, however, are positive that
the marriage was not solemniZed within
the Capitol grounds. The policemen were
posted at each entrance of the Capitol
building as early as 4 o'clock, and the
captain of the Capitol force was on the
steps at that hour with two or three of his
men. Colonel Bright, Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Senate, was on hand an hour later,
and this force kept watch all day for
Browne; but the men say that they saw
nothing OF the cosmopolite with matri-
monial intentions.
When Browne was first married at Mas
sillon, Ohio, he expressed his intention to
have a minister of the gospel present at
the second ceremony and to witness it. A
crowd of several hundred people congre-

cipals to appear.

CLOSING DRUGSTORE S4LOoNs.
Des Moines' Mayor Furnished Good EUI-
dence bu an Editor.

DES MONIES, Iowa, July 5.-Mayor
Hills this afternoon visited one of the
most notorious saloon drugstores in the
city, and finding men there drinking beer
had the place raided. For long time he
has been trying to get these places closed,
and officers reported it impossible. To-
day he met Editor Clarkson of the Register
on the street. Clarkson offered to show
him one of the places, and they went to-
gether to A. M. Bilby's store. They
walked behind the prescription case and
the Mayor went up to man who was
drinking and took the bottle and glass
from him, smelled it, and went out again.
The two went to the Registers Office, and
the Mayor ordered the police to at once
raid the place. 1t was done before any
body in it knew who the recent callers
were. Later in the day the Mayor ordered
other places raided, and the end is likely
to be the closing of all places. of this kind.
