Claude Hoover the condemned murderer
Of Sam Dubois his brother-in-aw, has about
recovered his equanimity after the shock of
hearing that the governor had refused to
interfere with the carrying out of the SEN
tence of the court. He discusses his fate
very calmly with his jailer and eats his
usual hearty meal, No visitors have been
admitted to see him except his sister, and
the interview between them was very affect
ing Hoover has recently shown great con-
triton for his rash act and has expressed
sorrow for the bereavement he has caused
to his sister and her children. He still
contends that the act was committed while
he under the influence of liquor to such
an extent that he was not accountable for
what he did
Hoovers aged mother and his sister have
not ceased their efforts to induce the gov
ernor to interfere with the execution OF the
death sentence and are calling upon persons
thought to have influence with the governor
to ask them to use their good offices with
that official
great deal has been said by a certain
newspaper to the effect that the sheriff would
not take any steps to carry out the sentence
until he received orders from the governor.

Of the supreme court to carry out the order
OF the court and execute Hoover August Z,

and has received no orders to the contrary
from the only official who has the power TO
set aside such mandate, the governor. One Of

point, that the sheriff would not receive
any communication from the governor in
the matter unless the governor decided to

EFFECT OF THE MAYORS ORDER.

Court.
The effect of Mayor Broatch's letter to
Police Judge Gordon, in which he called
attention to the fact that the police Judge
had no authority for suspending sentences,
is being felt in another direction, 1t is
tending TO increase the work of the police
court.
For some days after the letter was re-
ceived prisoners. especially vagrants, con-
tinued to enter pleas of guilty, expecting
that they would be released with a sus-
pended sentence on condition that they
sinned no more or left town, as had been
the custom. Judge Gordon, however, dis
appointed them by sentencing all who
pleaded guilty. AS a result many of them
refuse to plead guilty and stand trial.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR OMAHA.
Company Formed to Mine and Place
Lithogrnphic stone ON the Market.

COnDnnN
LithOgrnphic stone ON the Market.
Omaha will soon be known in the markets
OF the world as the headquarters for the
finest lithographlng stones produced in any
country A company for the quarrying and
marketing of these stones will be incorpor-
ated within very few days, all but one of
the incorporators being Omaha citizens.
The worlds supply of lithograph stones
has heretofore been obtained from a small
province in Bavaria and the supply has been
so comparatively small during recent years
that orders were often delayed a whole year.
In order to get stones large enough for doing
work of any considerable size the purchaser
was Obliged to pay an eXorbitant price,
amounting to 20 or 80 cents per pound, and
also to purchase certain amount OF small
stones. AS the large stones measure about
32X44 inches and are about two inches
thick, the price Is a heavy burden upon the
purchaser and the delay in filling orders is
a great inconvenience.
All this will soon be changed, however, as
quarry of vast extent has been discovered
in the Black Hills in Custer county, South
Dakota, in which the supply of stone seems to
be almost unlimited The quality of the
stone and its practical utility has been made
the subject of a careful and complete ex-
animation by practical men, Peculiar prop
critics are requisite in a good lithOgraphing
stone, and it has been fully demon
strated that the South Dakota stone fulfills
all the requirements Experiments in print
ing with samples of these stones have been
made in Omaha and Chicago, with the most
satisfactory results The stone is contained
in a tract of land about 500 acres in extent
and the entire section has been obtained by
the parties to the plan about to be de-
veloped.
1t has been found entirely practicable to
get out" stones of the largest size used
in the lithographing business at price
which will enable the projectors of the en-
terprise to compete in the markets of the
world with the German producers.
The Omaha parties who are interested
in the enterprise are the members of the
firm of Klopp, Bartlett & Co., County Clerk
Redfeld who has been engaged in the print
ing business for years, and one or two other
parties who are silent partners in the deal.
The man who made the find" is also a
party to the arrangement and it is the pur-
pose of the projectors to incorporate under
the laws of Nebraska and establish head
quarters in Omaha, which will be made the
distributing point.

A Singular Deluslon.

While in q small town in France, q
traveller saw an inn-keeper engaged in
saving apart nve-franc piece. and in
curing the reason. was told of sim
gular delusion entertained by fully
half Of the population. The story is
that Napoleon Bonaparte put a check
for one hundred thousand francs in .
silver five-franc piece. and that the
coin is still in circulation. The people
did not want the flve-franc piece, and
in order to create demand for 1t Ma
poleon resorted to the device men,
toned. the check being. written on as
bestos paper, and inclosed in the
metal at the time the coin was made.
Thousands Of five-franc pieces are an
nually broken open and inspected since
this absurd story was first circulated,
and the credulous people are deaf to
all argument on the subject.

Extraordinary Recovery OF q Ring.
The recovery of the Frangipani ring
not long ago by Prof. Thode occurred
under very remarkable circumstances
The relic belonged to the Creation
leader, Count Frangipani, who lost II
near Pordenone, in 1913. When on a
recent visit to the Marcian library,
Venice, for the purpose of studying the
history of that city in the sixteenth
century, Prof. Thode met with a peas
ant who brought him a curious old ring
Of gold, engraved with double scroll
of waved lines. leaves, and minute
Gothic letters, bearing German in
scription. It had just been dug up
from the cell Of an old earthwork at
Castell di Prata, near Pordenone, and
was offered for sale by the peasant
who had found 1t. On examining it the
professor found to his infinite surprise
that it was the long-lost Frangipani
ring which disappeared in 1513-ths

vestigating.

Murder to Avoid Suicide.


Perhaps the most curious murder on
record occurred in Philadelphia in 176O
when a Capt. Bruluman. disgraced
officer of the Royal American regiment,
shot a man for no other reason than he
desired death and preferred to be
hanged by the state to taking his own
life. Having formed this design he
loaded his gun with a brace of balls,
and asked his landlord to go out shoot
ing with him, intending to slay him
before his return. but the lucky land
lord. being particularly engaged at
home. escaped the danger. He then
went out alone, and on his way met a
man whom he was about to kill, but
recollecting that there were no witness
es to prove him guilty, he suffered the
person to pass. Afterward going to a
tavern he engaged in game Of bill
lizards. Mr.. Scull, party engaged in
the game, having struck his antagon-

10 unique. He is known as Taffy ap
Sion. One morning Taffy heard bird
singing on a tree close by his path.
Allured by the melody, he sat down
until the music ceased: when he rose,
what was his surprise at observing
that the tree under which he had taken
seat had now become dead and with
cred. In the doorway Of his home,
which. to his amazement, had also
suddenly grown older. he asked of a
strange old man for his parents, whom
he had left there, as he said, a few
minutes before. Upon learning his
name the old man said:
ALAS! Taffy, have often heard my
grandfather, your father. speak of
you, and it was said you were under
the power of the fairies and would not
be released until the last sap of that
sycamore had dried up. Embrace me,

Most Extraordinary Coincidence.
In September, 1892, q girl gathering
driftwood for fuel ON the shores Of a
small bay near her home at Gamma. In
the far Hebrides, Scotland. picked up q
piece of wood bearing the inscription.
cut with q knife, ''Lachlan Campbell.

name Of her brother, who was q boiler
maker in Spain. and on showing it to
her mother the latter was naturally
somewhat disturbed, and could not
help superstitiously regarding this
mysterious message from the sea as
the herald of evil tidings respecting
her son. In her next letter to him she
mentioned the circumstance, and was
greatly relieved on receiving reply
assuring her of his well-being. but
was astonished to learn from him
that he had remembered how, when on
a holiday, he had cut his name as
above described on q piece Of wood,
and had idly thrown it into the sea
from a rock near Bilbao. There is
nothing wonderful in the fact that this
piece Of wood should, after drifting for
six months, have been carried hun
dreds Of miles away by the winds and
ocean currents, but that after its long
wandering it should have been washed
on the shore within q hundred yarda
Of where the writer's mother lived, and
that it should be picked up by one OF
his own family, is a sufficiently mar
velous coincidence to be accounted in

evidence.

Newspaper from a Tree.

u
An interesting experiment was made
last April by a paper and wood pulp
mandatory at Essential in order to
see what was the shortest time in
which a standing tree could be con-
vertod into printed paper. This ex-
pertinent conclusively showed what
can be accomplished by modern ma
chinery and ingenuity. In a forest
near the establishment three trees
were felled in the presence of the own
ers Of the mandatory at 7:35 in the
morning. The trees were carried to
the mandatory, where they were cut
into twelve-inch pieces, decorticated
and split. The wood was then raised
by an elevator to the celebrating ma
chimes. The wood pulp produced was
put into a vat and mixed with the nee
essary ingredients. Then the liquid
pulp was sent to the paper machines
and at 9:34 in the morning the first
sheet of paper was finished. One hour
and fifty-nine minutes was the time
consumed in it's manufacture. The
owners of the factory, accompanied by
the notary public who watched the en-
tire work, then took some Of the pa
per to printing shop little over two
miles away from the mandatory. and
at 10 o'clock a printed copy Of the
Journal was in the hands Of the party.
SO it took just two hours and twenty
i've minutes to convert the wood Of a
standing tree into a newspaper ready
for delivery. During the course of
this experiment there were a number
of Interruptions which 1t another time
might have been avoided and the own
ers claim that twenty minutes can be
cut of the record time.
