The first temptation that is apt to
hover in this direction is to leave your
piety at home. You will send the dog

cared for somewhere else, but the
temptation will be to leave your re-

In Old Kentucky,

The progress Of the contests in vari-

about which interest in the fight for
governorship is conferred. The deter

face of the returns as they will be
made to the state board of election
commissioners. These contests involve
over 1000 votes in seven counties. The
state board of election commissioners
will meet at Frankfort December 4.
Before it the points, that are involved
in these disputed ballots will be ar

BEME|KLEJOHN
Nebraskan Favored BY Presi,
dent for Civil Governor
TWO OTHERS ARE ALSO MENTIONED
The President Expected to Make q Sc
lection From Among Generals Leon
ard wood, Ludlow, and tho As
sistant Secretary of War.

There has been q great deaf Of talk
In Washington during the past few
days as to the probability Of the Sc
lection of Assistant Secretary of War
Meililcjohn rs civil governor for Cuba.
The president at one time seriously
considered the advisability Of naming
for this place, General Wood, who, in
his capacity of governor Of Santiago,
has done SO much toward restoring
that city to something like European
cleanliness, but General Ludlow, who
has succeeded in antagonizing SO many
Cubans and Spaniards in Havana and
his arbitrary ways and brutal disre-
gard of the feelings of men whom he
comes in contact, has been making his
strong political play for the post him
self since his arrival there some days
ago. General Ludlow leaves Wash
ingtou Wednesday. and announced
that he would win out as against Wood,
but those who are on pretty close
terms with the president declare that
his desire to appoint Secretary Meiklc-
john is more than surface deep, and
that because of the knowledge the
assistant secretary has of Cuban af-
fairs, combined with his diplomatic
amiability, he is more than likely to
be selected for the post, provided he
will accept it upon his return to Wash
ington next week.

CASE UP FOR FIFTH TIME
Courts of Kansas Again Tackle Hiiimon
Insurance,

Sensational evidence has been ad-
duced in the noted Hillmon insurance
case at Lcavenworth, Kan, in which
Mrs. Sallie Il. Hillmon for the fifth
time in twenty years is suing an east
crn insurance comany to recover on
policies held by her husband, John w.
Hillmon, who disappeared in 1870. Ar
thur Simmons, n Leayenworth cigar
manufacturer, swor positively that
Adolph Walters worked for him in
May, 1879. This is two months after
the insurance companies allege that
Walters was killed by Hillmon, near
Medicine Lodge, Kas. Simmons rec
ognized Walters by his photograph,
and showed his books to prove that
Walters had worked for him at that
time. The main point of the insurance
company has been to prove that Hill
mon, n man named Brown, and Levi
Baldwin were in a conspiracy, and that.
they killed Walters to pass his body off
for Hillmon. The insurance, with in
terest involved, now amounts to nearly
500, 900.

CHARLESTON is WRECKED
Cruiser Goes on Reef in Philippine

Word comes from Manila this, Tues.

er Charleston, which had been patroll-
ing the northern coast Of Luzon, was
wrecked on a reef of the northwest

to be SEM to Manila after the destruc.
tion of the Spanish fleet by Admiral
Dewey, the navy department utilizing
her for the purpose Of sending ammu-

When science uses technical speech
the uninitiated listen respectfully. but

speculation within reach OF the aver
age man. Fossil remains described In

minds eye. A dinosaur. for example.
could be pictured in scientific terms
and but little more than a vague sense
of vastness would be the unlearned
hearers portion. But when a scientist
SAYS of a monster discovered by him,
that a round steak taken from
the ham OF the animal would have
been at least twelve feet in diameter.
or more than thirty-fve feet In cir

Condition Precarious.

Late Tuesday evening word was re.
ceived at Omaha from Nebraska CITY
which indicates that Senator Hayward
is in a most precarious condition, and
that his death is to be expected at any
time. A consultation of physicians
was held and at its close it was given
out that that the physicians could hold
out no hope whatever of the senator's
permanent recovery, and very little, if
any, of even a temporary improvement
in his condition.
There is no regular session of the
Legislature this winter, and in ease OF
his death the governor will appoint a
successor. 1t is universally conceded
that in this event Governor Poynter
would name ex-senator Allen.

The o vas called Tuesday
morning to 1926 South Eighth street,
Lincoln, where it was reported that a
man had been found dead. Investiga-
ton showed that the deceased was
Van Buren, Cuddy, aged about As years.
The o said that heart failure was
the palpable cause Of death and did
not think an inquest was necessary.
The relatives and friends Of the man
informed the officer and also the po-
lice, who were first called, that the
man had been subject to heart trouble,
and that he himself had not regarded
death as being very far off at any
time. The remains were removed to

THE STATE LAW DEFECTIVE
Judge Scott Makes an Interesting State
ment About Burglaries.

"No, sir, there is no law in Nebraska
making the breaking into a saloon or
a bank a burglary. 1t is a singular
thing, but it is so. l don't know why
the statute was left SO defective. I
suppose 1t was n mere oversight. A
man may break into a saloon or a bank,
but be convicted only for petit or grand
S,rceny."
This was the holding of Judge Scott
at Omaha Tuesday when q habcas cor
pus application was before him. 1t
was no new announcement, for the
judge had set the precedent last Feb
ruary ut Papillon.
And it was a Sarpy county case be-
fore him in Omaha. Attorney II, u.
Wedgewood came up from Pa
pillion to say to the court that william
+. Healy was in Jail unlawfully de-
prived Of his liberty, and asking that a
writ issue to Sheriff Starter of Sarpy
county commanding him to produce the
prisoner in court. The writ was issued.
Healey had been arrested for bur-
| glarizing the saloon of Frank Kretch-
mark at Fort Crook, October /. He
was bound ovcr for burglary by County
Judge Howard of Sarpy. The writ
was asked mainly for the reason indi-
Gated, that the prisoner was held for
what under the state law is not ali
offense.
In speaking about the matter further
Judge Scott said hat the buildings
mentioned in the statute defining bur-
glary did not include either banks or
saloons. Stores are mention, but the
judge holds that a saloon is not a store,
since the liquor business is under po-
lice regulation and is therefore in a
class distinctly to itself.
