HONORED IN DEATH.
All Greater New York Pays Homage
to Henry George.


The body of Henry George lay in state
Sunday in the Grand Central Palace, New
York, and 10000 person reverently passed
the casket and looked upon the face of the
dead philosopher From o'clock in the
morning till in the afternoon stream of
men, women and children poured into the
hall.
The eulogics uttered, the day gone, the
streets became filled with people who
wished to see the funeral cortege as it
passed in solemn procession down New
1ork's great streets, thence across Brook
lyn bridge and through Broollyn's streets
to the Brooklyn city hall.
There the public gave over the body to
the family and the casket was taken to the
modest home in Fort Hamilton, from
which they were borne to their final rest
ing place in Greenwood Monday morning.
At the lowest estimate 125,000 people
saw the casket as it wended its way to that
point where the public was compelled to
stand aside in reverence and sympathy
while the family claimed its own.

Issues Two Proclamations as Soon
as He Takes the Oath.

Issues Two ProcIamations as Soon
as He Takes the Oath.
On the arrival in Havana of Blanco. the
new captain general of Cuba, in accord
ance with the ritual and ceremonies Gus
tomary on such occasions he took an oath
OF fidelity to Spain. Banco has issued
the following proclamation to the inhab-
itants of Cuba:
Il am again among you, with good will
and sincere desire to serve the general
welfare and establish lasting peace. 7
shall follow broad policy and endeavor
TO restore peace among all of Cuba's in
habltants. | am sincere in my intention
TO lnaugurate new governmental policy,
the object of which is to secure and pre-
serve peace. Clemency awaits all who
observe the laws, but, however regrettable
1t may be, shall vigorously fight those
who obstinately or ungratefully continue
to carry on the war;"
Following is Blanco's proclamation to
the armed forces in the island:
II desire to express my admiration for
you who, in two years of hard campaign
have always bravely fought the infamous
revolution. This Isoon expect to suppress.
Let there be war, therefore, on the stub
born enemies of the Spanish people, and
protection for those who seek the clemencv
OF Spain, and let this war, which dishonors
us and is making us penniless, end for
ever.''
There is no reference to autonomy in
any proclamation.

SwindIcs His Employees.

The Sioux Falls police have warrant
for the arrest of one j. II. Son, who is al
legged to have defrauded his employees out
Of 5000 in wages, and also to have passed
worthless check for $40 on a saloonkeeper
of Sioux Falls. Son is from Grant City
Mo, and has been in charge of Il thrashing
outfit. He and his men finished their con-
tracts recently and have been much in
town since. The engine and separator
were left at a farm west Of town, and last
week he sent his men for them in order to
place them in storage, and agreed to settle
with them for their wages. The men got
the machinery, but when they looked for
Son he had disappeared. The thrashing
machinery is covered by chattel mortgages,
SO the men are left at the end Of the season
without money and with no means OF col
lecting what is due them.

WATKA rs EXECUTED
INDIAN BRAVE WHO Old NOT
FEAR DEATH.
Had Ample Opportunity to Escape,
But Returned of His Own Accord
that the Sentence of Death Might
Be Carried Out.

Indian Baseball Player Executed
dispatch from Chelsea, 1. T., says:
Sunday John Watka, the Creek Indian
who shot Jonas Deer, another member of
his own tribe, was legally executed for
the crime.
The men were rivals for the hand of the
same girl, and fought at dance at which
she was present to decide who should gain
her. Watka killed deer and afterwards
married the Indian maiden.
Several days prior to the time prepara-
tons for his wife's future welfare were
completed, and the pain of parting over,
Watka set out alone to the public
execution grounds. In due time
he arrived, the crowd was waiting. The
prisoner assumed his position on bended
knees, with arms tied behind and a blind
fold over the eyes. The rifle was placed
in the hands of good marksman, there
was sharp crack and the white spot
marked for the heart was discolored with
the squirting blood caused by the deadly
bullet
Late this summer Watka went to Kansas
City with a baseball nine of his fellow reds
and played game at one of the parks.
He had ample opportunity to escape, but
returned to the territory of his own ac-
cord that his sentence might becarried out.

UNION PACIFIC SOLD
AuCTIONED OFF IN OMAHA
MONDAY MORNING..
reorganization Committee, the Only
Bidder, Secures 1t for $57,564,-
e23-Master in Chancery Cornish
Acts as Auctioneer-Other Items.
Great Railroad Sold.

The Union Pacific road proper, includ-
Ing buildings and all that goes to operate
the system, was on Monday morning sold
IN Omaha, Neb., to the reorganization
committee for total of 3,52S, ,52S. This
does not include the sinking fund in the
bands of the government, amounting to
H,O36, 400, making the total paid for the
property s57 ,564 1923. There were no other
bidders.
Just one minute after IL O'Clock, the
time fixed for the sale, Master in Chancery
Cornish stepped to the entrance of the
freight house and prepared to make the
sale. There was crowd of 500 present to
witness the proceedings.
Cornish, after taking his place, displayed
paper which proved to be the notice of
sale, and proceeded to read it. Cornish
next read a protest from Managing Re-
celver Trumbull of the Union Pacific
Denver and Gulf Road. Cornish then an
announced tina he was ready TO receive bids.
Fitzgerald bid 9,sSS, ,2S1.S7 in the name of
himself and A. w. Krech, purchasing
trustees. There were no other bids. SO
Cornish next put up the bonds and Fitz-
gerald bid for them 1865 25Os9. After
pause Cornish asked if there were any
more bids. and getting none, he declared
the property sold to Fitzgerald and Krech.
That was all there was to it and the crowd
disappeared.
AS TO the future management of the road,
tits practically certain that for the time
being it will be left in the hands of the
receivers. When the committee has per-
1ected arrangements it will retire them.
The future head of the road will be S. H.
clark, former president, if his health
will permit. The sale Monday was under
mortgage held by the government. Tues
day another sale will be held under the
foreclosure trust deed securing the con.
structIon bonds. which constitute first
lien on the road

Coal Traffic Is Heavy.

Freight officials of the Alton road report
that the coal traffic over their lines is un-
usually heavy at the present time. Since
the cessation of the late strike they have
been greatly pressed for cars to take care
OF it. AT the present time the demand is
far beyond their capacity to supply west
bound freight business, which is unusually
heavy Just now. Its tendency is to increase
steadily rather than diminish. These Off
clais consider that the indications are ex-
ceedingly promising for the future of the
road. There is strong probability that an
Sper cent. dividend will be speedily re-
stored

and part in Nebraska.
When the doors were opened there was

WEYLER GOES HOME.
Re-Embarks for Madrid Without
Making Any Trouble

Gen. Weyler just prior TO his embarka-
ton from Cuba for Spain addressed the
assembled crowds gathered in his honor.
In the course of his acknowledgements of
their sympathetic reference to his ap-
preaching withdrawal" he said he fully
understood their praise was for his policy
and not for himself. He declared he had
always done his duty in accordance with
his sense of patriotism, and he would leave
Cuba with 'serene conscience" He had
never cared, he said, for the criticism of
sympathizers of the rebellion, because he
had always felt assured "rea kindness
and wisdom were his poicy.''

ON CHURCH MUSIC
Pope Disapproves OF Compositions
of Haydn, Mozart and Chopin.

rope DlshppfOVeS OF compositions
Of Haydn, Mozart and Chopin.
The pope is at the present moment en-
gagged upon encyclical which deals with
the question of ecclesiastical music, eX-
presses disapproval of the compositions of
Haydn, Mozart and Chopin, and urges
that the musical portion of religious cele-
bration should be confined to the Gregorian
chant. The holy father is especially severe
on the practice of invoking the services
OF ladies belonging to the operate or con-
cert stage for the singing of the various
musical features of divine services, and
calls attention to the fact that the solo or
part singing by women in churches is
strictly forbidden by the council of Trent,
an order which has never yet been re-
pealed and to which he demands
obedience.

County win Sue ,be State,

Presho County and the state have locked
horns over claim of the former for about
81 800 for costs of cases arising in Presho
County, which is unorganized. The circuit
court allowed the claim, but the state au-
ditor refused to pay it. The county COM
missioners have, therefore, authorized the
commencement of proceedings to recover
the amount from the state. 1t is doubtful,
however, ii the state auditor has power to
pay the amount of the claim until the
Legislature appropriates the sum necessary
TO do so.

money, and as sunny disposition off the

could buy was too good for him or his boon
companions, and he made friends fast.
But he went the pace that kills. He has
been stranded in st. Louis for some time
