Board substituted. When we had

Men That women Like.

The Washington Women's Literary So
ciety recently offered prize for the best
answer to the question, What kind of a
man does woman most admire?''
Here is the winning answer: 1.-THE man
must interest by uncommonness. either IN
appearance or manner, or he must have
that understandable quality called charm.
He must know his own mind and steadily
work thereto, even to masterfulness.
He disregards they say and is not one
of herd. His friends are men-not
women. He is only once deceived by the
same person. His perhaps hasty temper
never runs to unkindness. He needs sym
pathy and solace in sometimes divine
discomfort. He abides under no failure.
but goes steadily on. His occasional want
OF success only attaches and rivets his de-
termination. Exchange.

The newspapers have stated that the
Baldwin Locomotive Works have been ex-
perimenting with an old burning arrange
ment on locomotive on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. 1t is true that expert
ments were made on large engine, and
this was done in order to test finally a de-
vice which has been applied by the Bald
win works to a locomotive for which oil
fuel is specified. OF course, nobody
expects to revolutionize engine fuel in
the United States, or that any rail-
road man or locomotive-builder has
any notion of a general introduction of
petroleum fuel in this country. The COM
mercial reasons for not using it are over
whelming; the mechanical difficulties are
very slight. Still, there is certain field
for petroleum fuel even in the United
States. A number of small Eastern lines
could use it without loss, and on the Pa
cife Coast it can often be used with profit
that is, oil at 21l cents a galton is equiya-
lent to fair coal at s. a ton. When we
consider that. the Pennsylvania Railroad
alone would consume on its locomotives
over one-third of the total production OF
petroleum in the United States, it is evil
dent that there is no possibility of its being
adopted generally as locomotive fuel in
this country

BARRETT sCor1ys MURDER.
Four of the Nebraska Tigilaates In ia
for the Crime.

Four of the Nebraska Figiiantes In Jail
for the Crime.
OMAHA, Jan. PA special to the Bee
from O'Neill says: Nose Elliott, Fred
Harris, Merit Roy and Mullihan were to-
night arrested and jailed, charged with
numbering Barrett Scott. They are be-
lieVed to be members of the vigilance COM
mittee of farmers, which is commonly
charged with the taking off of Scott. Other
warrants are out and the editor of an
O'Neill paper left town suddenly to-day,
it is stated, through fear of violence for at
lacking Scott editorially.
1t is reported that one of the vigilantes
has turned States evidence. There are
several facts that give color to this view
and it is not explicitly denied. The
searching parties had previously explored
portion of the river where the body was
found. They have dragged the bottom
within four feet of the very spot, but with
out success. The successful posse went al
most TO the exact spot and had hardly
sunk their graphing irons into the water
before they brought up the quilt with
which the body had been wrapped. 1t is
believed that Dell Akin and one or two
others knew pretty nearly where to look
for the body before they left O'Neill, and
that they have important facts in their
possession which will appear in due time.

BEFORE THE GRAND JURY.
Its Investigation Of the Crooked
Counting.
The Second and Fourth Precincts Of the
TWenty.Eighth District Under
Fire.

The Grand Jury went into session last
evening upon the alleged crookedness dur
ing election perpetrated in the Second and
Assembly District. 1t will be remembered
that those precincts are the banner pre-
cincts in the wild ballot frauds that have
been so far unearthed. In the recount OF
the Second Haley gained 40 votes, and in
the Fourth no less than s8 votes were
found incorrectly counted for Curry.
The officers who so startlingly mis-
counted in the first precinct mentioned
are:
Thomas Harrison, wharf-builder; residence,
Zoe place.
E J. Delehanty, Is Howard street.
Louis McGinnfs, 52515 Howard street.
+. Gregg, seaman, 305 Fremont street.
Charles Meyer, hquor-dealer at % Washing
ton street; residence, 332 Main street.
Frederick Peterson, 5ll Folsom street.
Thomas McDermott, Is Folsom street
John Atkins, molder, 511 Folsom street.
Michael J. German, fireman, 313 Folsom
street.
William Franklin, 525 Folsom street.
Julius Dessisse, teamster, 2 Grand place
William FaIlon, teamster, 351 Bea1e street.
Those who are responsible for faulty
feats of enumeration in the last precinct
are:
James Murphy, laborer, 3O7 First street.
George Franklin, 525 Folsom street
Charles r. Franklin 525 Folsom street.
". ". Ring, oiler, 525 Folsom street.
R. A. Delamore, $685. Minna street
Charles Taylor, 319 First street.
William Grodt, lumberman 8 Essex street.
J. w. Barry, IL Essex street.
Edward P. Peterson, 81 First street.
William Farren, machinist, 500 Harrison
street.
j. ]. Cusiek, clerk, II Laurel place.
John H. Dolan, 35911 First street.
All these persons have been summoned
to testify before the Grand Jury, and at an
early hour last night the anteroom of that
body was filed with an anxious crowd
The first called was julius Dessisse, whose
testimony was to the effect that he knew
of no intention to make anything but a
fair count. William Fallon was invited in
through the double doors and questioned
by Assistant Attorney Hosmer He was
absolutely ignorant of any attempts at
fraudulent counting and yet showed the
amazement that took possession of him
several weeks ago, when the peculiar work
in the two awful precincts was first I'M
covered.
Thomas Harrison's examination was
doubtless long and tiresome to himself, If
not to his inquisitors, who, after two hours
labor trying to learn how forty votes over
which he was an inspector became so mis-
placed, excused him.
The officers OF the two precincts were
notified to appear in the jury-room next
Monday evening.
