Archbishop of Canterbury Expresses
Himsc1fg on the subject.
Copyright, 1897 by Press Publishing Companyo
LONDON, June 5.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.)-The English
papers, always keen to disseminate any story
derogatory to America, have published In
great detail accounts of the Urbana lynch
ing The affair has caused much excitement
In London and the members OF the Anti
bynching society have found another strong
argument in favor Of their organization. My
representative called upon the archbishop of
Canterbury In reference to the lynching and
obtained the following signed statement:
LAMBETH PALACE, June 5.-The prac-
tice of lynching cannot but be regarded with
reprobation as lowering the dignity of ma
ttonal action In the punishment of crime,
and as putting those who punish on the
same lever of uncontrolled passion as the
criminals whom they are punishing
TEMPLE, Archbishop of Canterbury.
Mrs. Ormston Chant was also seen and
said: II deeply deprecate this outbreak in
Ohio, as such deeds always retard the
progres OF civilization. There may be some,
however, who will claim that the cruelties
practiced upon children in England are fully
as reprehensible as any American lynchng,
and l agree with them. Anything that con-
travenes law Is to be deplored
II am not a member OF any anti-lynching
society, as I do not think 1t comes with a
good grace for England to always assume
that she must teach her American brothers.
However, two wrongs do not make right.
and this dreadful affair cannot but hurt the
reputation of the community in which 1t oc-

DolexnI Under Heavy Bonds.

After innumerable delays and continu-
ances Frank Dolezal was arraigned in police
court yesterday, afternoon on four different
charges. He waived examination in all Of
them and was bound ever to the district
court. The first case taken up was for
selling liquor without a license, and Judge
Christmann fixed his bond at 5000, which
was furnished by Fred p Freeman, presi-
dent of the Municipal league. Freeman
sw.ore that he was worth 5000 over and above
exemptions. i--' ..-'
The next case was for selling liquor on
Sunday and bond was fixed at 5000, Fred p.
Freeman again signing his bond and qualify
ing for $500 in the first case.
Next came the case of larceny bailee.
This is where Joe Koutsky caused Dolezal's
arrest for making away with a cash regis
ter which was the property Of both when
they were engaged in the saloon business.
When the firm dissolved partnership May 1
Dolezal, it is alleged, seized the cash regis
ter and has since kept 1t concealed. In this
case the police judge fixed the bond at $500,
which was signed by A. l.. Bergquist, sec
retary Of the Board of Education, and W.
B. Wyman, member of the Board Of EIu-
cation. Each of these bondsmen qualified
for 5000.
Assistant County Attorney Winters then
called up the case Of keeping gambling de-
vices and Dolezal waived examination. Bail
was fixed at $500, which was furnished by
Mrs. Barbara Pivonka, she qualifying for
$1,000. The total amount of bail furnished
by Dolezal was 81 900.
The assistant county attorney then called
the case against Joe Koutsky, who is
charged with assaulting j. M. Tanner, but
by agreement the case went over until Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock.

Ice Firm to he Prosecuted.

Sanitary Inspector Carroll yesterday filed
a complaint in police court charging Crosby
G. Rich with violating ordinance No. 74S. The
complaint charges the defendant with selling
ice not pure and healthful or free from mat
ter deleterious to health, for domestic pur-
poses. According to Inspector Carroll this
firm refused to abide by the provisions of
the ordinance and also refused to engage in
a friendly suit to determine the constitu-
tionality of the ordinance. AS he had been
instructed to enforce the ordinance the only
thing for him to do was to file the COM
plant. Police Judge Christmann said that
he would not have the warrant served until
Monday. The ice sold by w. B. Morton and
the South Omaha Ice company is up to
standard, but these companies refuse to pay
for the chemical analysis unless the ordi-
nance Is enforced. Crosby & Rich are selling
Ice cut from letters pond, and according
to the chemists report 1t is full of impure
matter.

ages of several hundred dollars each were

Forged Checks,

A number of forged checks have turned
up in the course Of business at the Citi-
zens' bank within the last few days. The
checks had been forwarded from Kansas
City for collection, and had been cashed
there and deposited in one of the banks for
collection. Two of the checks bore the forged
name of Camp Bros, well known local drug
gists. The first was for 500 and was drawn
in favor of Mrs. w. Withers on the Citizens
bank in this city. 1t had been endorsed by
Mrs. Withers and her husband and was
cashed by the Emery-Brd-T -Thayer Dry Goods
company.
On Friday afternoon another check of the
same date, drawn upon the same bank, came
into the Citizens bank through the Coun-
Gil Bluffs Savings bank. 1t had been delayed
by being sent via Omaha 1t called for
S125, signed by Camp Brcs. 1t was made
payable to Mrs. H. B. Sanborn and after hav-
ing been endorsed by her was taken by the
Doggett Dry Goods company There was
no attempt made to initiate the signature of
Camp Bros, but it is said that the endorse
ment of the names Of the women upon the
backs that gave them value in the estima-
tion of the Kansas City merchants were skill,
full forgeries. Both women are wealthy aEI
well known in Kansas City. The belief is
that the work was done by woman who
spent some time here a week or more ago,
and who follows the business as her regular
vocation.

History in words.

The famous DR.. French wrote an able and
fascinating essay to show that the history
of a people is crystalliZed in the words of its
language If this can be made clear as
TO words In their modern spelling and signin-
cation, how much more vividly 1t shows when
the words are set before us in chronological
array in the forms and meanings they
have had at successive periods. This is not
shown, of course, in ordinary dictionaries,
but 1t will be found the New Revised En-
cyclopaedic Dictionary, which the enterpris-
ing Midland Monthly Is now distributing,
has covered the ground in most complete
and interesting manner. or the word bat
tie, for instance it contains ten spellings,
ranging through British literature from
Chaucer to Lord Tennyson, viz: Battle,
battell, batteil, battail, batail, bataile,
batail, battaill and battayle In like man
ner are shown in this marvellous reference
work eight ways of spelling bird and the
apt quotations given in these and similar
cases. from the poets and essayists of each
succeeding age, not only exhibit the gradual
Improvement of language, but throw side
lights or Importance on the condition Of the
people and the passing events of history.
There is no more instructive study than this
OF word growth" and there has never been
work in our language that so copiously
illustrates 1t as the New Revised Encyclo-
paedic Dictionary. 1t may safely be pre-
dicted that even this limited distribution of
1t by the Midland Monthly will give a
healthy and vigorous impetus to the culture
of the west.
We should caution the public to examine
the editions Of this work, which might be
offered them, and see that the words New
Revised" appear on the title as It has come
to our knowledge that old and obsolete edi-
tions of this work have been recently offered
In this vicinity, which, while they have a
certain value, are much behind the times
when compared with the edition offered by
the Midland. The Midland edition is re-
vised to January, 1897. In connection there
with, the Midland Monthly is given free for
six months. and also there is given free
to each subscriber a years membership in
one of the leading Correspondence schools
IN the country, the membership being
valued at $40.

Washington Letter

Mr.. Mckinley and his admin
istration have no body but them
selves to blame for many persons
regarding their now-you-see-it,
now.you-don't t-see-it, manipula-
tion of the Union Pacific railroad
question as a thimble-ringing
game in which the people have
been buncoed. First the sale of
the road was to be postponed and
then it wasn't. Those who have
carefully studied this matter say
that the administration deserves
no credit for the raise OF $S,OO0,-
900 in the bid for the reorganiza-
tion committee for the property;
that it was a question with the re-
organization committee of losing
all the swag or Of giving up
enough of it to hush the public
clamor which had compelled the
announcement that the govern
ment would ask the court to post
pone the sale of the road six weeks,
in order to give intending compet-
ing bidders a chance, and that Mr..
Mckinley was in too great hurry
to withdraw the application for a
postponement of the sale. No in
terest could possibly have suffered
by the postponement of the sale,
and the creditors, other than the
government, of the road might
have been greatly benefited.
Members of the administration
may throw bouquets at each other
over this business, as they try to
, make the country believe that
they accomplished something
which deserves praise, but the
country has a way of getting at
the inside Of things, and it will do
so in this case.

from taking up and adopting, as it
should have done, the joint re-
solution which the senate adopted,
directing the recognition by this
government of the belligerency Of
the Cubans, has, if the friends of
the administration know what are
talking about, been abandoned, and
Mr.. Mckinley will refer the whole
business to congress for solution.
This seems an astounding state
ment to make, bu; it is the Nc
Kinley followers who are making
it in Washington. Spain's reply
to the Mckinley policy, which
reached Washington this week,
seems to have broken the main
spring of the policy, if there really
ever was definite policy, which
many doubt. 1t is semi-oficially
stated that the communication
from Spain will, as a resulted of
an understanding be between the
two governments, be kept from
both the Spanish and the Ameri-
can public until after it has been
submitted to congress by McKin-
ley. Last spring Mr.. Mckinley
said in effect to congress: Keep
yours hands off this question; l
can handle it without your assist
ance, and in December he will
appeal to congress for orders as to
what he shall do with it. This
sort Of thing would be humilieting
to a sensitive man. Meanwhile
everything else has been dropped

that funds of the Republican
National Committee, of which he
is treasurer, were being used in

tickets-something like 500
from Washington to Columbus,
Ohio, and return, to his Washing

to be too poor to buy their own
railroad tickets, and each of them
has been informed that by calling
at the Hanna headquarters in
Columbus in person he can secure
round-trip free transportation
from that city to his voting place
in the state. And that isn't all 4;
every one of these men has been
given hint that 1t will be very
unwise for him not to go home and
cast his vote for the Hanna ticket.
Nothing worse than this was ever
done, even in the days when a re-
