Judge Afford, of the Criminal Court yes

Willie Sanders. aged fourteen. to the Re-

formed that the Haibe boy possesses a vio-

neighbors. His mother was in court, and
testified that she could not control him.
The boy said to Judge Afford that he
thought it best for him to be sent away
and he hoped the court would sentence him
to the Reform School. He said he knew he
had given his mother much trouble, and on
her account he was willing to go wherever
the court saw fit to send him.

BRYAN HOME AGAIN.
He Tarries Long Enough in Omaha to
Get His Views in Print.

OMAHA, Nep., Dec. 2S.-William ]. Bryan
arrived in Omaha to-day from Chicago. He
called on friends in the city in the morning
and this afternoon left for Lincoln. When
asked If he thought the question of imperi-
alism would overshadow the money issue in
the campaign of 1900. Mr. Bryan said it was
difficult at this time TO tell what relation
these subjects would bear to each other
then. He thought If Congress would adopt
a resolution pledging this government TO
keep the Philippines only as trust for their
people as we do Cuba, until a stable gov
eminent is established. the expansion issue
would be at an end. If, however. the ques-
ticn is not settled in some such way this.
he said ii would continue to be Il matter
OF discussion until 1t was disposed of and
would, therefore. remain one of the issues
before the people. With Porto Rico, Mr..
Bryan said the situation could be simplified
easily He believed the people of the island
should first be permitted to vote whether
they desired annexation to this country or
the formation of an independent republic.

Wrestling with q Bull.

The bull-wrestling feat which is so
handily accomplished by Ursus, the Lydi-
an giant in "Quo Vadis," was attempted
with rather disastrous results at Ciudad
Juarez, a Mexican town just across the
Rio Grande. The athlete was an Italian,
who bore the legendary name of Romu-
lus, and he tackled a lively shorthorn
bull that had been provided by the city
fathers. Rubber grips were placed on
the thick, stubby horns, to insure firm
hold, but the beast threw Romulus sew
eral times, broke his thumb, covered him
with bruises from head to foot, and final
ly jabbed him in the kneepan, and used
him up so badly that Romulus had to
retire from the arena. The strong man
lays his misfortunes all to those stubby
horns. He says he has conquered more
than one Texas bull that is armed with
long and spreading horns.
