There was lots of excitement last night
at Henn's alleys, where the first meet
ing of h season In the Local League
between the Van Bergens and Clintons
was held A crowd fully as large as the
one that was on hand at the last inn
portant match at Henn's alleys was on
hand to root for, one team or the other,
and they did it successfully, as the teams
broke even. Their relative merits are
the seme In the record. neither team be-
ing able to draw away. The games last
night were very exciting and full of
cheering. The Clintous had a happy
crowd Of rpoters and ahe bowlers made
the best of it., giving them plenty of
chance. The Clintons are rivals of the
Van Bergens, and their meetings have
been anticipated some time. 1t was ex-
pected they would be hot games, and no
one was disappointed. 1t was a battle
for, keeps and every pin counted. The
Clintons were out for both games, but
were forced to be satisfied with one. The
usual jollying by Kasey and Ennis kept
the boys in good humor. The Vans were
willing to bet they would win twice, but
there were few takers. Steady work was
done and the scores were up to the av-
erage work Of both teams.

Fell from the skies Centuries

WILL GO NORTH AGAIN NEXT YEA

BOSTON, Sept. 26.-The steam whaling
bark, Hope. Captain John Bartlett which has
just returned from the Arctic, arrived here
at $50 this morning from sydney, c. Il. In
conversation with a representative OF the
Associated press today Lieutenant Peary
said:
THE Hope left Sydney at II o'clock
Wednesday morning and fortunately missed
the hurricane which has been raging the last
week. The 100-ton meteorite in the hold OF
the Hope fell from the skies hundreds of
years ago and has been the source of iron
supplies of the Esquimaux, l discovered it
in May, 1894, and since that time have been
trying to secure 1t and bring it to America.
The Esquimaux call 1t the 'saviksoah We
have on board six EsqumauX-three men,
one woman, boy and girl. The oldest OF
these is Nook-Tak. 40 years old. the son of
the old chief Kooloatoonah, who plotted the
murder of DIR. Hays and some of his com
panions, With him is his wife, All Tung
All Max Soah. 30 years old, and their daugh-
ter, All Wee All, 12 years old. The others
| are ke sub 80 years old, with his 9-year-old
boy, Nee Nj, and a young man, Wee Shak
Up 81, II years old. They will remain with
me here this winter to arrange the ethnolog-
ical specimens and will return to the north
| next summer with me, These people belong
to the tribe from which | shall select my
colony next year"
In speaking of the last expedition. Lieu
tenant Peary said 81 consider the chief
things accomplished were the arrangements
with the EsqumauX for my next years Jour
ney. From this time on they will be secur-
| ing furs aud other skins for clothing and
have all in readiness for me next year, so
| that within twenty-four hours after my arri-
| val there l shall be ready to embrace the
| first opportunity to push on toward the point
l wish to reach. Then the second event of
| Importance is the bringing of the meteorte
to this country. The statements appearing
| in the papers that we had discovered some
gruesome things about the hut of the Greeley
expedition is all nonsense We found no
| graveyard belongings. We found conditions
such that we could reach the place where
the Greeley expedition had made its camp,
and although it was August %, we found
| things inside the hut covered several feet
with snow. Our party began to dig around
| and picked up several buttons and piece
of wood marked Norman the name of one
of the Greeley party, and several other
| things. These are all the 'gruesome finds
We made.
| THE Hope will remain in Boston until
! Tuesday when we will make for the Brook
| yn navy yard, where | have permission
| from the authorities to use the 100-ton crane
| to hoist the meteorie from the hold of the
| Hope"

VIII Make Full Restitution for the
AmnunI of His Shnrlurc.

PIERRE, s. d., Sept, 26.-(Special Tele-
gram )-ExAuditor Hpide today said the
shortage in the accounts of his office comes
as a terrible surprise to him; that he never
claimed to be an accountant and employed
men whom he thought were such and that
when the settlement was made with the state
1t was on the books they had kept and on
this basis his settlement was all right. He
will at once make the shortage good, al
raise the money at forced sale, The exact
to,al amount Is not yet known, but will be
in the vicinity OF $1,000
Auditor Mayhem has completed a thorough
examination of all the Books OF the office,
which work he began several days ago, and
discovers that in making his settlement with
the state at the time OF turning over the in
surance department from his Office to the
new commissioner, and in making settlement
on what the books OF the cfice called for, he
was short $3.50 which Was on account Of
an error on the part OF the bookkeeper, who
had made two omissions In transcribing the
accounts of companies from the day book
TO the cash book, and had erred in over
charging in another case. This is the only
shortage" which can be discovered in a
thorough examination Of the books of the
Office, and is only on account OF clerical
error on the part of the bookkeeper. This
amount he says he is ready to turn over to
the state whenever the public examiner can
point II out to him, or makes a failure in
finding IT, but he will not rush 1t in at
the present standing Of the case, while he is
under fire.

VAS INSANE FROM DELlRIUM
Condition OF the Man Captured il the
Yards Saturday,
SUFFERING FROM FEVER AND tXpcSU. E
Examination by the Commissioners
Results In the Victims BEING
Sent To N Hospital for
Medical Trentmcnt.

The insane man captured in the North
western railway yards on Saturday night
after he had intimidated a number OF people
by brandishing a wicked-lookng hand axe
and chasing them away from the freight car
that had been his home for three days was
taken before the Board OF Commissioners for
the Insane yesterday afternoon. The man
was kept in the county Jail during the day
and II was noticed that he was suffering
greatly from illness. The examination be-
fore the commissioners disclosed the fact
that his sudden lapse of reason was simply
delirium produced by intense fever. The
man had fully recovered his mental equi-
librum and told a straightforward story about
himself. His name is Thomas Ward and he
said he had been working as a section hand
on the Northwestern tracks near Nelson. Ill.
The night before he left there had been a
freight wreck on the section and he was or
dered out to assist in repairing the track.
He was sick at the time and refused to obey
the order to get out at night and work on
the track, and knowing that this refusal
would cost him his job he left without wait
ing to be discharged and was making his
way TO Kansas, where he expected to get
work. When he reached Council Bluffs he
was too sick to continue his journey and has
been lying around the yards trying to doc
tor himself. The exposure increased his ILL
ness and the fever delirlum produced
paroxysms of madness The commissioners
made an order committing him to St. Ber-
nard's hospital for medical care. Ward is
an honest appearing Scotchman and says he
was born at Greenock Scotland, and has nc
friends in this country He had no recollec-
tion of the axe episode of Saturday night
He was deeply affected by the kindness
shown him and the words Of encouragement
of the commission. He will be kept at the
hospital until he fully recovere

List of Victims of the Bryan Demon
strntiOn Still Grows.
Two more cases OF pocket picking were re-
ported to the police yesterday that occurred
during the progress of the Bryan meeting
on Saturday night. A farmer named r. Jen-
kins, who had driven into town to hear the
speech, discovered when he went to get his
team at the feed stable where he had left
1t, that his purse was gone and for the time
being he was penniless. Yesterday morning
the officers found a number of purses lying
underneath the platform where Bryan had
stood while speaking. and among the LOT
was the one belonging to jenkins A number
OF notes and other papers were in It, but
the money which jenkins thinks amounted
to about $50, was gone. The other victim
was Mrs jackson of Missouri Valley. who
came down with party OF friends on the
same train that carried Mr.. Bryan. She
was near the speakers stand all evening.
Her purse, containing all the money she
had, about $40, and her return railroad
ticket, was taken. She did not discover
her loss until she was ready to return home
and was obliged to rely upon her friends
to pay her way back. The greater part of
the pocket pilfering was done In the i'm
mediate vicinity of the platform and on the
platform itself. Owen Wickham's pocket
was picked as he sat in a chair on the plat
form within three feet OF Mr.. Bryan while
he was speaking.
The police have made one arrest young
man who gave the name of C. b. Watson,
and who asserted with singular earnestness
that his home was within a block of the
Bryan residence in Lincoln. He wss con-
spicuous about the platform during the
speaking, but was not recognized by Mr..
Bryan. He was arrested after he had left
the crowd and was preparing to take a
motor train for Omaha. The police refuse
to give away their case, but assert positively
that they have a very smooth worker in
the person of the young man. When
searched at the station he had an assort-
ment of false moustaches. and was able TO
quickly disguise himself,
Prof, J. l.. Wyckof principal OF the Iowa
School for the Deaf, was the seventh victim

until late yesterday afternoon. AT no time
was he In the thckest part OF the crowd
but stood around on the outskirts for a while
and listened to the talk. On his inside
pocket he carried his wallet 1t was vel
stuffed with papers of no value to any per
son but himself, but contained no money, a
gold pen and holder being the only article
of intrinsic value He recalled the fact that
some one rudely pushed against him and
when he recovered himself and looked dowr
ne noticed that his vest was partially un
buttoned. He had occasion to use his per
