TROUBLE WITH CRIMINALS.
Sioux City Seems to BE Having More
Than Its Share Of vexation with
Law-Breakers.

Sioux City has been having great
deal of trouble in the last few weeks
with two criminals, Bell and Carleton,
which trouble has resulted in two
other men being arrested. Bell and
Carleton worked young farmer on
the paddock" game and both We're
tried and convicted in the district
court. At first they bribed the prose-
cutting witness to absent himself from
Sioux City until after the trial. He
went, but came back finally, and this
resulted in their conviction. Next they
tried jury bribing, and one man did ac-
cept bride, and he and the fellow who
gave it to him are in the custody of the
police. But the third attempt to gain
their liberty was the most desperate.
A fellow prisoner, Archie Harris, got
out of the corridor of the Jail one night
and secured revolver for the pad
lock men. But in fit of temper the
boy made use of the weapon himself
and fred upon the jailer. He did in
jure a fellow prisoner. He admitted
that Bell and Carleton We're planning
Jail break and that he was going to
give them the revolver to make sure
of a getaway. All three men are safe
ly in custody, and it is doubtful if they
ever could get away from the close
watch that is being kept over them.

Barber Talked.

The barber was perhaps trifle more
talkative than usual, and the custom-
er was scarcely in a good humor The
portly gentleman had come straight
from the dentists. In blissful ignor-
ance of this little fact, the knight of
the razor opened fire. He discussed
the weather, foreign politics, the rival
barber opposite, and was just eNplain-
ing his views on the education ques-
ton when the customer suddenly
growled:
where's that assistant of yours, the
one with the red hair?'
Hes left me, sir. We parted last
week-on friendly terms, you know,
and all that, but"
"Pityw growled the portly gentle
man. II liked that young fellow.
There was something about his con-
versation l thoroughly enjoyed. He
was one of the most sensible takers l
ever met, and
you'll excuse me, sir, but there
must be some mistake" gasped the as
tonished barber. eff you remember,
poor Jim was deaf and dumb!'
Just so! Just sol" was the curt re-
joinder. That's why liked him"
And the barber went on shaving.

A FARMERS SAD FATE.
Chapter in the Life of n Once Prone
Using Young Man Closes with
Accidental Death.

The burial of the body of Emanuel
Hanus at Pitzer, Madison county,
closes sad chapter in the life OF
once promising young man. Whether
true or not, it is matter of common
report that some years ago Mr.. Hanus
fell in love with a young woman who
did not return his affections and final
ly married another man. On account
of this. or some other trouble, Mr..
Hanus had been Respondent for some
time. and for a few months had been
considered unable to manage his af-
fairs He was about 35 years of age, a
farmer, and had some property. In
view of the state of his mind he made
a public sale short time ago.
The other morning after taking
breakfast at the home of one of his
relatives he went to his own house,
saying he would be back to dinner.
As he did not return, his relatives
sought for him but could not find him.
A neighbor had seen him going south
ward on foot. A telegram was re-
ceived stating that the body of a man
had been found dead beside the rail-
road track at Alton. 1t proved to be
that of Emanuel Hanus, and friends
had the body taken to Pitzer for burial.
He had a brother in Missouri and had
visited there before, and it is supposed
that he was trying to make his way to
that place. He had $50 on his person
and had left a larger sum and mum.

THE LITTLE ONES.

There are some curious customs pre-
vailing, even in this matter-of-fact day,
regarding the naming of the baby.
German parents sometimes change the
pame of their baby If it is ill, and the
japanese are sure to change the name OF
child four times.
The Chinese care SO little for their girl
babies that they do not give them baby
name, but just call them Number One,
Number Two, Number Three, according
to their BIRTH
The Mohammedans sometimes write
desirable names on five slips Of paper,
ana these they place ip the Koran. The
name upon the slip first drawn out is
given to the child.
Boys are thought so much more of in
China than girls that If you ask a Chi
nese father who has both boy and a
girl how many children he has, he will
always reply, "Only one child
The Chinese give their boy babies a
name IN addition to their surnames, and
they must call themselves by these names
untii they, are twenty years old. AT
that age the father gives his son a new
name.
The children of the Amos, a people
living In northern Japan, do not receive
Itne!r names until they are years old.
IL IS the father who then chooses the
name by which the child is afterward
In an Egyptian family the parents
choose name for their baby by light
ing three wax candles; to each Of these
they give name, one Of the three always
3Msalonging to some dignifed personage.
Inc candle that burns the longest be-
slows the name upon the baby.
a Hindoo baby Is named when it is
twelve days old, and usually by the
mother. Sometimes the father wishes
Ior another name than that selected by
me mother In that case two lamps are
placed over the two names, and the
name oyer which the lamp burns the
brighter is the one given to the child

The Preponderance Of Evidence.

The Preponderance OF Evidence.
The preponderance of the evidence
in the beef inquiry is on the side OF
General Miles. For each witness who
testified that the beef was good,
twenty or more witnesses have testi-
fed that 1t was bad, very bad. Again,
most of those who testified that the
beef was good were officers who did
not have to eat it, being able to pur-
chase something better, while those
who testified that the beef was bad
were as rule private receiving $3.50
a month and therefor unable to dine
off pate de fol gras, terrapin stew
and broiled Holsters.
1t has been amply demonstrated
t.at the canned beef was not fit to
eat, often because it had been cooked
until it was tasteless mass of shreds,
and more often because it would not
stand tropical climate. 1t has also
been shown that the experiment of
issuing refrigerated beef was failure
because of the war departments in
ability to get it to the men quick
enough after it was removed from the
ice boxes And it has been amply
demonstrated that this inability was
the result of downright incompetency.
1t is not wholly a question of
whether the beef contractors deliber-
ately sought to palm off rotten beef
on the government. 1t is simply a
question of whether the war depart
ment allowed rotten beef to be issued
to the soldiers and then failed to
issue anything to take its place
