HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.
At this time of the year "A cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
cough or cold than Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
satisfaction.-O Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for cold and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or who have reason to fear an
attack of pneumonia, should keep the
remedy at hand. For sale by all drug
gusts and dealers. Benson, Smith &

Tekamah Officials Vigorously Pros

Society TO Take Hand.
Win Protect Game Fish.

The preliminary hearing of alleged fish
pirates, George and William Brown and
Albert Palmer, took place in the county
court at Teksmah and they were bound
over to await the action of the district
court. They endeavored to escape by
claiming that their net was only used to
catch chubs and sinners for bait. 1t was
shown by testimony that they have made
shipments of live black bass to DR.. Geo.
l.. Miller of Omaha, and there is every
thing to prove that their net was used in
the capturing of these fish. Tekamah
people would like to have the Omaha
Game Protective Society take hand in
helping to protect this lake, which is one
of the greatest fishing resorts in the state.
1t is not likely that the prisoners can
furnish bonds, and if not, they will have
to remain in Jail until fall, when the dis
trict court will be in session.

SALVATION ARMY CAVALRY.
Brigade Organized to Work in the
Rural Districts of PENNSYLVANIA.

Brigade Organized to Work in the
Rural Districts of Pennsylvania.
The unique scheme of a Saliva tion Army
cavalry brigade, in which girls as we'll as
men will ride on horseback after sinners
whom they hope to convert, is projected
by Brig. VIM. Evans of Philadelphia, in
command of the Atlantic coast division.
The summer months are to be utilized by
expeditions which will travel all over the
country comprised within the limits of
the Atlantic division.
The cavalry force of girls will be organ
lied to travel on horseback from town to
town in the country, stopping for several
days at those places where they may re-
ceive the greatest encouragement. Enough
musicians will be among them to form an
organized band, and few of them, who
expect to lead in the singing, have been
we'll instructed in music.
The organized cavalcade, which seems
to bear ctrong resemblance to an Arab
caravan crossing the desert, will be in
charge of Staff Captain Blanche Cox, who
has had experience in this sort of work in
every part of the world. Much of her
time has been spent in India, and later
she had charge of the Colorado divisionplI

AMERICANS ON TRIAL.
Court Martial of Alleged Filibusters
Begins in Havana.

Begins in Havana.
The trial of the men captured on board
the alleged filibustering schooner Com
petitor began before court martial at
Havana, on the morning of the Sth. The
statement on behalf of the prosecution did
not materially differ from the accounts of
the capture already published. The pro-
ceedings are being closely followed at
Washington and there is ground for the
fear that unless the matter is handled
with great discretion it may result in
straining the present relations and ami
cable friendship between the United
States and Spain. Strong representations
have been made to the State Departm ent
on the subject and the department GER
tainIy will not fail to in tervene in the
case if it shall appear that the Americans
under trial are not treated with all the
privileges accorded by all the rules of
civilized warfare. An insistence on this
point would oblige the Department to re-
fuse to sanction execution Of the Amer
leans, and although it is not believed yet
that there is disposition to carry the case
to extremes, there is some danger that the
Spaniards may feel disposed to go further
than prudence permits in the effort to dis
courage American filibuStering parties by
harsh treatment of these, the first to fall
into their hands.

HOLMES Is HANGED!
ARCH CRIMINAL PAYS The
DEATH PENALTY.
The Author of Many Grimes Exc.

Innocence.
End of a Eiend.

81. H.Holmes, convicted on circumstan-
tial evidence of the murder Of Benjamin
F. Pitzel, was hanged in Philadelphia
Thursday. The execution took place In
the Moyamensing County jail. The drop
fell at 10:12115 o'clock. 1t was not until
a half-hour later that he was pronounced
dead. His neck was broken by the fall.
The marvellous nerve of the man never
deserted him to the end. Even on the
scaffold he was probably the coolest per-
son in the solemn assemblage. In few
well-chosen words he proclaimed his in
nocence of any murder, including that for
which he was convicted and hanged. He
declared that the only wrong-doing in the
taking of human life for which he could
be held responsible consisted in the death
of two women who had died as the result
of criminal operations at his hands. He
did not name these victims.
Holmes spent the greater part OF his
last night on earth writing letters. At

against the employment of the law firm of
Lambertson & Hall to assist County At
torney Woodward in the suit to be insti-
tuted against the bondsmen of the late
Maxey Cobb the Lancaster County treas

that they would stand by the contract
made with Lambertson & Hall, and that
they knew of no good reason why they
should not do so. Examiner Fodrea has
reported that the deficiency in Cobb's &C.

SHOT BY A ROBBER.
Chicago Business Man Killed and
Two Other People Injured.

Ch1cago business Man Killed and
Two Other People Injured.
While chasing robber from his store
the other night, Thomas j. Marshall, pro-
prietor of the Golden Rule dry goods store,
Chicago, was shot and died few minutes
later on the sidewalk in front of his place.
The robber, who was young man, en-
tered the store and while confederate
engaged the attention of Marshall he ap-
preached the cashier and demanded what
money she had. She screamed and Mar
shall came to her aid, chasing the fellow
out to the sidewalk. Just as Marshall
emerged from the door the robber turned
on him and fired twice, both bullets enter
ing MarshalPs breast, causing his death
before he could be carried into the store.
Just as the shooting occurred cable car
stopped in front of the store. Many pas
sengers jumped up to see what the matter
was. The murderer, thing they were
about to intercept him, emptied his re-
volyer at the crowded car. One bullet hit
Miss Hynes in both knees and another
struck Mr.. Beggs, who was walking along
the street nearly block away. The fell
low ran up side street and escaped ar
rest. Later it was said that Miss Hynes
was very badly injured and her death is
probable.

WINTER WHEAT.
Condition of the Crop as Repcr rted by
the Farmers, Review.

the Farmers Review.
Reports have been received from the
correspondents of the Farmers Review
in ten States on the condition Of winter
wheat, and on the loss to that crop from
freezing and thawing.
In Illinois the total loss from freezing
and thawing has not been large, taking
the State as a whole, though there are
counties where the loss from this cause
has been great. With the advent Of the
recent rains there was a change for the
better and the plant is now rapidly push
ing forward. Fair will express the gen
eral condition Of the crop in Indiana. The
loss from freezing and thawing seems to
be heavy at this date. The late sown
wheat seems to have suffered most. In
Ohio the wheat is slowly starting up.
The cool weather and lack of rain in the
early spring retarded Development The
present outlook for the crop in Ohio is
poor. The prospect in Michigan continues
fair, and the loss from freezing and thaw-
ing is generally about 10 per cent. The
loss that was reported IN Missouri from
freezing and thawi1g has been partly off
set by recent good rains. In Kansas and
Nebraska the prospects are quite good,
especially in the eastern parts Of those
States. In Iowa the crop is fair. Wis
consin conditions have not improved, the
recent loss from freezing and thawing
being considerable.

Attempt to Loot an Illinois Institu-

Attempt to Loot an Illinois Institu-
ton Proves Disastrous.
The little town of Washburn, Woodford
County Illinois, was the scene of raid of
bank robbers the other night, and as a re-
suit one of the desperadoes is lying in the
county Jail at Metamora severely wounded
in the neck and back.
The craftsmen entered the town and
stole team and carriage. The moment
they entered the private banking house of
Ireland & Son the burglar alarm started a
gong ringing in the house of the junior
member of the firm, who Immediately
raised posse of dozen men and sur.
rounded the building.
The first explosion blew out the tumbler
of the lock only, and while the men were
making ready for another blast the posse
made noise, and the three men dashed
out the back door to be met by volley Of
shots and bullets. They stood the first
crowd off with volley from their revolv-
ers, but as they turned the corner Of the
bank another squad fired into them and
one robber fell with nineteen large shot
in his back and neck. The other two
men got away, although the trail Of blood
showed that one of them was wounded.

midnight he went to bed and slept sound
ly until 6 o'clock in the morning. 1t took
two calls to awaken him. Promptly aris-
ing he received visit from his spiritual
advisers, Fathers DAILY and Macpeak, Of
the Church of the Annunciation. They
administered the last sacrament and did
not leave him until nearly o'clock. Dur
ing their absence he ate a hearty break
fast Of eggs, dry toast and coffee.
At 1902 o'clock the Sheriff called to-
gether the official jury, and after each
man had answered to his name and sub
scribed to the certificate the solemn
march to the gallows was begun. As the
gathering stood in intense silence before
the gallows Holmes, accompanied by the
two priests mounted the fatal scaffold.
A moment of prayer elapsed and then
Holmes stepped to the front Of the scat
fold and, resting his hands on the rail
before him, made his statement Of inno-
cence.
1t was received in absolute silence.
Two minutes later he had finished his
valedictory. Then at a silent signal from
the priests he bent to his knees, his eyes
fixed on the crucifx clasped in his hands.
Until 1912 the prayer continued. Imme
diately afterward he arose, shook hands
with the priests and his lawyers and in a
firm voice bade them good-by.
Without an instant delay his hands
were bound behind him and the black cap
adjusted. Sheriff Clement placed the
moose about his neck and after an instant
of terrible stiffness the crack Of the bolt
rang out like a pistol shot and the man
had fallen to his doom.
Consciousness left him instantly, said
the doctors, although his heart continued
feeble beat for fifteen or twenty min
utes. After an examination had been
made by several physicians Holmes was
pronounced dead and the swinging corpse
was cut down.

Iynched a Negro,

One of the three negroes implicated in
the cutting Of City Marshal Walker at
Fulton, KY, was arrested by the tele-
graph operator at Arlington, KY, few
miles north of Fulton, who, in attempting
to arrest him, shot him in the left lung.
The negro was taken to Fulton and
taken in charge by the sheriff, but the
mob which had gathered at the depot
rushed madly upon the negro and swung
him up. He confessed his guilt. The
other two negroes implicated are still at
large.

OVER AMERICAS INTEREST IN
CAPTURED FILIBUSTERS.
Gen. Weyler Threatens to Resign
Unless the Death Sentence is Car.
ried Out-Consul General Will.
iams' Conduct Provocative.
Spain Again Stirred Up.

There are evidences of growing popular
excitement in Spain over the attitude Of
the United States Government toward the
question of the flibusters captured on
board the Competitor.
The news of the capture of the men on
the Competitor was received with great
satisfaction and rejoicing. 1t was felt to
be the first opportunity that had been
offered to make an example of those en-
gagged in feeding the insurrection. The
popular demand for their execution il
strong, and is likely to become vOciferous.
The public feeling on the subject is
fostered by the tenor of the advices re-
ceived from Havana. Dispatches from
there affirm that Capt. Gen. Weyler is
greatly irritated at the attitude of the
United States on the question of the SEN
tence. 1t is asserted that if the Spanish
Government adopts a contrary view
owing o the representations made by the
United States Government, Capt. Gen.
Weyler will resign his post.
United States Consul General Williams
attitude, it is asserted, is the subject OF
general censure in Havana, and Is said to
be very provocative. The story goes on
10 relate that the United States Consul
General shows himself every where in
public places in Havana, using irritating
and menacing language regarding the
probable action of the United States
towards the authorities in case the sem
tenceS upon the Competitor captives are
executed
The London Daily News says in an ed
itorial regarding the cases of the Compel
itOr captives:
1.-The serious news from Cuba places
the Spanish Government between two
fires. 1t is difficult to see how either side
can recede. If the Spanish Government
sacrifices Gen. Weyler, it will probably
have 10 be prepared to sacr ifice its own
life.''
The London Chronicle says: eff
Washington presses the question, Spain
is powerlesS. War is an ugly thing at
best and we should be the last to invoke
it. But an American ultimatum in the
present case would not be the beginning
Of war, but would be the end of an in
terminable guerilla fight"
Senior Conovas del Castillo has publicly
stated that America has not protested
against Spain's right to punish filibusters,
but only against their summary trial.
American citizens are entitled to be tried
in the civil courts under the treaties OF
1875 and 1877. The Spanish Government
is willing to consider the demand and has
cabled Capt. Gen. Weyler to delay the
executions pending the result of negotia-
tions which are actively proceeding be-
tween Washington and Madrid to define
the Interpretation of the aforesaid treat
les.
The rest of the Madrid press are unani-
nous in the opinion that America has
taken an ungenerous and unjustifable
advantage of Spain's difficulties.

Alfalfa Culture as an Art.

Alfalfa culture is getting to be one Of
the prominent features of Cass County
farming and is receiving great deal of
attention from progressive agricultural
lists. County Commissioner J. P. Falter
had on exhibition at the court house a
bunch of this product of this springs
growth which measured twenty two
inches in length, which is considered an
extraord mary showing for this early in
the season. Mr.. Falter says that the
secret of success in raising alfalfa is to
plant enough seed to get firm stand
