OMAHA FAIR.

kept in that neat style that is de-
sirable; and the crossings in the
older part are bad. If her citi-
zens were to go to Salt Lake
City they could find some good
patterns to follow. One would
judge this people more careful of
money making and not so much
for social enjoyment as our
people farther west. Still you
will find no people more ready to
advise and aid the stranger in
his present happiness at this
fair. We note the swiftness of
men here in their business; even
heavy loaded teams in the streets
go on swift walk, or, more
commonly, on the trot. The
stocks of merchandise are choice
and large. The city is well sup
piled with fair and usual grades
Of hotels; although I am inform
ed that the best class are poorly
patronized so far during the fair.
That is the class, however, gen.
orally that stick to the gold
standard-and we may say !:
Verify they have their reward" /"
Hard times makes the most lib
eral people parsimonious. They
do not have it to spend.
The Oath of Sept. I spent,
mostly, in the Omaha Smelter
ground. Really 1 found nothing
more interesting in all Omaha
than this place. There has been
expended by this company vast
sums of money-vast sums even
since | visited it in 1884. They
have one pipe or conduct 1900
feet in length for the purpose of
saving the waste, otherwise to
float away in the fumes. This is
so as to reduce that loss TO a
minimum-and it pays. 1t is, to
the common observer, really
wonderful, what science, and
skill and patience and labor and
expense it requires to separate
the rock from the minerals, and
then the minerals from each 9th
er until each character of miner
al shall be alone in its pure
state. 1t is very interesting
and very pleasant sight to see.
Each kind comes out shining in
its purity at last. Two bars of
gold worth S25, 900; forty bars of
silver; great piles of copper and
seemingly endless amounts of
lead and zinc; and sulphide of
copper-blue as indigo-by the
thousand barrels, and that too,
and these, mostly in value of
yesterday. Not only vast i'm
provements have made since my
former visit, but they are con-
stantly making new and better
improvements. Everything, or
nearly SO, necessary to this great
work of reduction and refining,
is included in this immense plant.
Not only is this wonderful to
look upon, but its results are
beautiful to the eye. A Mr..
Alexander showed me through
the whole works. explaining
with great particularly, in his
kindness, the whole workings
from beginning to the end-till
it might possibly be that 1 could
not run the whole thing with
safety.
While here I ran upon an old
settler who used to be with US in
Oregon and at Idaho City in '6s
and '63, Isaac Hascoll, a lawyer.
He has been here many years
and has borne an active part, and
tells me much of the rise and
progress of this magic city. Bu
it is too long an article to print
We used to practice law together
in the days of Auld Ang Sine.

The County Commissioners
have appointed e. G. Headrick
registrar for Challis precinct, in
place of Frank Nickerson, who
from illness has been unable to
act. The place of registration
is at the drug store.
Louis N. B. Anderson, State
Supt. of Public Instruction, ar
rived in Challis last Friday, and
visited our public school on that
day. He spoke in the highest
terms of praise of the Challis
school and its teachers. On the
following evening he gave a very
interesting lecture in the Court
house ON educational work. We
believe in most of his argument
on this subject, but do not en-
dorse his whole lecture. 1t is
sure thing that Idaho requires
more money to run their schools,
but how shall we raise the re-
quired funds I? One plan he ad-
vanced was to levy 81 tax per
month on each bachelor, but did
not say a word about the old
maids. It is bad enough to be
and "old bach" without being
taxed for being such. This
would border almost onto a COM
pulsory marriage law. He did
not say a word about the Idaho
free text book system, which is a
robber and imposition upon the
people.
The Challis band desire to ex-
press their thanks to the citizens
of Clayton and the independent
party for the kind treatment re-
ceived while at Clayton the 11th.

THE TRAIN R0BBER is AC-
CUSED OF MURDER.
POLICE HAVE STRONG CASE
Tie and Jim Red mond are charged
with Murd ering Miss Schumacher

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb s-The
police have woven a strong chain OF
evidence about Jim Redmond as one
.of the murderers of Miss Emma
Schumacher 1t is such convincing
evidence Of his guilt that should Red
mond be found and returned to this
city there is little doubt that he would
bc spec ay convicted
The police claim that Il net Of evl-
dence fully as strong and convincing
has been wound around Jack Kennedy,
the train robber. They say he was
certainly the companion and accom-
plice of Redmond in the murder. but
that Redmond fred the fatal shot
William Handy, an old negro who
was "A slave for the Younger family
before Cole, Bob and jim became
famous as train robbers, and who has
lived in the family of Mrs. Kit Rose.
sister of the Younger boys, has told a
story that positively connects Ken
nedy with the crime. lie saws that
Kennedy and James Redmond, his ac-
complice, confessed the murder in his
presence. He was at Roses house,
and Redmond drove there in buggy
Immediately after the murder He
helped to dress the wound in Red
mond's face, inflicted by bullet
from Miss Schumacher's revolver.
He says Kennedy took the buggy
away after bringing Redmond to the
house. Ilandy's story is verified by
Kit Rose and by Sue Handy, his wife,
who is a servant in the Rose family.
Handy says Kennedy and Redmond
threatened to kill him If he ever told
the story of the crime. There is
plenty of evidence to corroborate his
story. The police have found where
he bought laudanum for the wounded
and where he took burglar tools to
blacksmith shop. Besides, Kit Rose
has admitted that Kennedy and Rcd
mond, the latter wounded, came to
his house the night Of the Schumacher
murder, and that Redmond was cared
for there.
Since Handy made his statement
to the officials the police have had him
Ia charge and kept him in hiding.
This is done to protect him from Ken
nedy's friends and TO keep him from
making his whole story public.
Careful investigation shows that
Kennedy has n very complete alibi,
which was volunteered in his behalf
by people of apparently good reputa-
tion and standing in the community.
The police have so far failed to To-
cate Jim Redmond, the slayer Of En-
ma Schumacher.
Kit Rose, at whose house Redmond
stayed, met Kennedy face TO face last
night In the private Office of Chief Of
Police Hayes and in his presence.
Rose there denied positively the state
ments credited to him by an afternoon
newspaper. lie stated positively, in
the presence Of the chief and of Ken
nedy, that he had not seen Kennedy
the night of the Schumacher murder
Or within a week of it,
Retta Rose, the crippled daughter
of Kit Rose, was at the police station
yesterday fore noon, and met Kennedy
In the Office of Chief Hayes. She said
that William Handy, the old slave Of
the Youngers, cold her he was going
to make a heap" of money by testi-
Tying against Kennedy.
