School Houses Not To Be Used for Cook

ing SCHOOLS.
The committee on public buildings
have passed unanimous vote that it is
inexpedient to allow the use of room
in the jackson school house for cooking
school, and the ladies of the Women s
Literary Union have been notified to
that effect. The reason for this action by
the public buildings committee WAS that
it would permanently disfgure the room
and that 1t would be too expensive job
to tit up the room as it ought to be-.
There has been mention of room in the
Casco street school house, but it is
doubtful if the committee would take
any different action in relation to room
in that building.

JORDAN LOWRY.
A Noted Mining Character Who Died
the Other Day.

Those who never knew Jordan Lowry
never worked in the placer mines of
California. Ever since 1852, when he
arrived in the State from Columbia,
Mo-, his has been a familiar figure
where the richest pay-dirt was TO be
found. He was born in the Valley Cf
Virginia siXty-five years ago, and died
last week ait Plymouth, Amador County.
From the beginning of his career
"Jord," as he was called by mis- friends,
was what is commonly called lucky"
though good Judgment was probably
accountable for the fact that his claim
always held pay gravel. But like many
pioneers, he was too lucky. He was
generous to a fault, and would divide
his last dollar with any one in need,
and during his lifetime he found many
such.
He worked on the Feather American
and Costumes Rivers in early days, and
many old-timers will remember that
week after week for years his clean-ups
amounted from $500 to 81, 800 But if
will also be remembered that after
spending Sunday in camp, he went
back to his claim with enough bacon,
beans and flour, often purchased on
credit, to run him through the week.
Jordan Lowry was of the hardest
types of California miners, and up to
within the last few years would not al
low ANY man to throw dirt in his
face" and he was a complete master of
hydraulics. Besides this he was one of
the best civil engineers of which the
mines could boast, and was for many
years employed by the Al:lador and
Sacramento Canal Company. often act
ing in the capacity of foreman while at
tending to his engineering duties. OF
him it was said that he could run a
truer level, or grade for fur1e. de-
pending simply upon his eye, than half
the engineers were able to do with their
instruments.
For the last few years Lowry has
lived at Michigan Bar, and has been
in comfortable circumstances, owing to
remittances from his fathers estate in
the East. He was buried at the Michi-
gan Bar Cemetery, near the scene Of the
luckiest and most reckless part of his
career Everyone who knew "Jord''
Lowry was his friend, and his death is
regretted by them all.

GUILTY AS CHARGED.
Stanley CIacOmbe Convicted of Grave.
RObbing.

OMAHA, May 26.-The jury in the
Stanley Clacombe grave robbery case
returned a verdict this afternoon of
guilty as charged. This was the trial
on the Helm case of grave robbing,
Clacombe having been acquitted in the
arson trial.
Clacombe was the man who was
caught at Des Moines with two trunks
in his possession containing human
bodies. He expected to dispose of
them to the Drake Medical College for
dissecting purposes. Later it was dis
covered by Omaha detectives that the
graves of Mrs. Anna Larsen and Mr..
Helm, at Mt. Hope Cemetery, in the
outskirts of this city, had been tam
pered with and the bodies removed.
The bodies shipped to Des Moines
proved to be the missing ones. Iowa
authorities were here to re-arrest Cla-
combe should he escape conviction,
they having similar cases against him.

POWERFUL ILLUMINANTS.
Discoveries rlade by Nikola Tesla and
Thomas A. Edison.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Tha "Electri-
cal Review in it's last issue announced
by authority that Nikola Tesla had per-
feCted his vacuum tube system of cleo
trio lighting without wires, the possi-
bilities of which he first brought to pub
lie notice about five years ago in lee
ture before the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers. This light is
whittier, more brilliant and more in
tense than the arc light, and is pro-
duced with a much smaller amount Of
electrical energy. A laboratory photo
graph has been made by means Of this
light with an exposure of only two sec
ondS. The details in the photograph
are remarkably fine. Tesla states that
his apparatus has been greatly simpli-
fed, and he will soon have it ready for
practical use.
Working on different lines, Thomas
A. Edison has, according to the "Elec-
trical Review" to be published to-mor-
row, succeeded in developing a new
kind of electrical lamp, or vacuum tube,
by means of which the Roetgen X rays
are turned into pure white light Edi-
sons new lamp is an ordinary Crooks
tube covered on the interior surface
with new fiuorescing substance which
he has discovered, similar 20 tungstad
of calcium. The x rays in passing
through this coating of crystals are
changed to light. Very little neat is
generated, and nearly the whole of the
electrical energy expended is trans
formed into light. The new lamp is
used in place of Crooks tube with or
dinary ray apparatus. Mr. Edison
believes that there are great possibili-
ties in his discovery, and is now enthu-
siastically at work perfecting his ap-
paratus in commercial form. He ex-
poets that before long he will so develop
ii that it may be used with high econo-
my on an ordinary incandescent circuit
Electrical and scientific people are
eagerly watching the outcome Of the
work of these two great inventors on
this important subject.

torially: 'We cannot hesitate to ex-

course in the old Slavonic tongue, the
choir answering, "Ad Multos Amos"
The members of the Imperial family
and the foreign Princes now advanced
and congratulated the Imperial couple,
while others in the church bowed thrice
toward the throne, thus expressing
their felicitations. Suddenly the cam
non, bells and bands ceased, and a
solemn silence ensued, when the Car
knelt and solemnly uttered a fervent
prayer.
When the Car rose from his knees

The Metropolitan then stepped for

After the Emperor had taken the
sceptre from the Metropolitan of ST.
Petersburg the choir sang the TIE
Deum, and the bells again pealed forth.
Mass was begun, and the consecra ton
of the elements, the Emperor in his
coronation robe being borne by the
clergy, entered the sanctuary behind
the IkonostaS and received communion.
The Empress likewise received COM
munion, but kneeling at the sanctuary,
as women are not allowed within the
Ikonostas.
After the communion the Emperor
and empress re-ascended their thrones,
their insignia being brought before
them, and all of the court dignataries
grouped around them The Cars
chief almoner then recited the prayers
which follow the communion. The
ceremony was concluded by each of the
anointed kissing a golden crucifix con-
tanning a sacred relic, which was held

quently dined in state in the banquet

OMAHA, May 26.-Advices received
here to-day are to the effect that Cree
Indians, natives of British Columbia,
have crossed the border into Montana
and North Dakota on their hunting
trips, and are running off cattle and de-
stroying farm houses. No cases of
bloodshed have occurred, but the set
tiers are greatly stirred up, and have
called on the Government for protec-

Belief That They Were Put Into a
Box and Shipped Away.
The Detectives Have No Doubt That
the Pastor nurdered Hiss Samuel
son, 1t Having Been Proven That
He Sold a Trunk Containing Ladies'
Wearing Apparel rlarked With the
Initials at Butte, Montana.

SALT LAKE CITY, May 26.-The de-
velopments in the Scandinavian Church
murders were meager to-day as COM
pared with yesterday. The search in
the church for the remains of Miss
Samuelson proved fruitless, and the Of
ficers have come to the conclusion that
whatever the murderer may have done
with the body it is not in or about the
church.
Other developments go to show that
the pastor disposed of the clothing Of
Miss Samuelson in various ways. The
Rev. Ellefson of Ephraim, this State,
says that Mr.. Hermann visited with his
family a few days prior to his final de-
parture from Salt Lake on May 9th.
and then said that he was anxious that
Mrs. Elefson should have some arti-
cles of remembrance of Hermann's de-
ceased wife, and asked her to accept as
such a quantity of ladies' undercloth-
ing The developments of the past few
days led Mr.. Ellefson to examine these
garments minuteIy, when he found they
are all marked with the initials "A K
S. those of Miss Anna K. Samuelson.
1t appears that Hermann presented a
number of handkerchiefs to Mrs. Mork,
wife of Presiding Elder Mork of Brig
ham City, before he left for the East,
and some of these also bear the initials
"a. K. S."
1t has also been learned that on Feb
ruary 18TH about three weeks after
Miss Samuelson disappeared, Rev. Her.
mann paid visit to Butte, Montana,
and that he took with him two heavy
trunks, on which he paid excessive bag
gage. A letter was to-day received
from Rev. Melvy, Scandinavian Meth
odist minister at Butte, by Presiding
Elder Mork, stating that Hermann sold
a trunk and a quantity of ladies' un-
derclothing when he was in Butte at
that time.
These circumstances confirm the de-
tectives' theory that Hermann muir
dered Miss Samuelson and shipped the
remains in a. large wooden box which he
had made about the time she disap
peared.
In regard to Miss Clauson, the Off
GERS declare there is no longer shadow
of doubt that Hermann is her murderer.
They say that never before have they
been able to forge so complete and
strong a chain of circumstantial evil
dence in any case of great concern as
in this. The police here incline to the
belief that Hermann is hiding in Chi
cago, and Rev. Mork says he had
friends in the western part of that city.
Governor Wells to-day offered a re-
ward of $500 for the capture of the
preacher, and private subscriptions to
about an equal amount have been sent
in, so that the price of the pastors head
is about 1000, and increasing
Dentist Keyser has identified the
teeth found among the ashes in the fur
mace in the church basement as being
identical with those he made for Miss
Clauson in 1891.
