People OF Lead Interested In the Case 'oi
Harry Tier.
A Lead, Isl D.3 january i, dispatch
says: The friends of Harry TIER of
this city, who9was arrested for the al
legged murder of man in Wyoming
twenty-five years ago, are putting up .
strong fight to establish the innocence
of the man. He is still held at Evans
ton, Wyo., and evidence is being col
lected by both the defense and the
plaintiff. The defense will seek to
show that Tier was in Southern Cali
fornia at the time of the murder.
Many-of the witnesses who knew Tier
in that state have since died, and 1t is
difficult to get people to testify on
either side of the case. It is probable
that Yerswill waive the preliminary
examination and 60 before the next
grand jury with all hts evidence. The
sheriff of the county in which the deed
was commit. o quarter century ago
was in this city shortly before Tier was
arrested to, see il Tier is the man. He
returned home convinced that Tier had
nothing to do with the matter. The
sheriff died about three weeks before
Tier WAS arrested and the defense de-
plores this fact for the sheriff
would have been an important witness
in his behalf. The defense Of Tier is
being supportedtby anumber of promi-
nept people inithis city who believe in
his inaocenee.

It is stated that Mrs. Cudahy is in a

ACCEPTS JOINT NOTE.
China Surprises the World and Asks Ces,
sation Of Hostilities.


satlon of Hostilities.
The Havas agency at Paris, France,
has received the following dispatch
from Pekin:
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
have communicated to the foreign en-
voys an imperial edict in which the
emperor declares that China accepts
the joint note and recognizes Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang to speak for
a suspension of hostilities. Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang, according
to another dispatch to Che Havas
agency, say that Emperor Kwang Su'
has expressed desire that the court
should return to PelSin at the END Of
February
A5Pekin dispatch says: The Chinese
plenipotentlaries have been unexcept-
eddy ordered to sign the preliminary
Joint note and have notified the foreign
ENJOYS to that effect.
The Chinese themselves are greatly
astonished at receiving the imperial in
structions.
Neither Ii Hung Chang nor Prince
Ching had expected success in persuad-
ing the court under ten days.
The instructions are to agree fully
to the note, hut to endeavor to get the
best terms possible, particlarly the
matter Of limiting the number of lega-
ton guards; also as to the place where
these are to be located. The plenipo-
tentiaries are instructed to endeavor
to limit the number Of army posts
along the line Of railway to as few as
possible and finally to require the pow
ers not to destroy the forts, but merely
to disarm them.
The foreign communities in Pekin
are greatly satisfied at the decided tone
Of the collective note and the asser-
ton that the powers are determined
to entertain no proposals for the modi-
fication Of their demands. It is under
stood that Ii Hung Chang sent . me-
mortal to the throne, couched in very
strong terms, urging complete compli-

SEARS IS SPEAKER.
House Members Make Selection
Unanimous.
REPUBLICANS oRdAhIn LEGISLATURE


The legislature Of Nebraska started
the. twentieth century of in a proper.
manner by getting both houses organ
lied New Years day without hitch
and practically upanimous
The senate used Its old machinery at
the start, Lieutenant Governor Gilbert
presiding, and the old officers being in
their places. With experienced men in
charge the Organization was perfected
without delay. Senator Steele of JEFF
ferson, being the Oldest member Of the
body IN point Of service, was elected
president pro tenn.
The senate committee on credentials
that was appointed took no note of
pending contests. senator Oleson, re-
publican from Cunning comfy may
have to show the fusionists that he is
entitled to his seat, and Senator's RAN
som and Liddell, fIsionists. from Doug
las are already confronted with con-
tests. The committee on credentials
seated all the members who received q
majority on the face of the returns
aud who had received certificates Of
election. The committee was powerless
to report on the contests because no
Official notice of contests is before the
senate.
The house session passed along
smoothly, nothing out Of the ordinary
occurring. The elective officers of the
house who were selected Monday night
in caucus were elected, the fusionists
moving the election of separate list
without avail The members and the
officers Of the house were sworn in by
Chief Justice Norval and they sub
scribed their names to the oath in ac-
cordance with custom.
An unheard Of action Of the fusion
its was the unanimous selection of
Mr.. Sears for speaker. Politicians say
no spesker in the state ever before was
elected unanimously. It occurred in a
peculiar manner. The secretary of
state had not provided printed roll calls
and number of type written ones
were made out. These were soon ex-
hausted and when the roll was called
on speaker the tabulation of the votes
was extended from roll call that had
been used before.
The clerk got confused in calling the
names and rather than call the list of
names over again or verify the roll
call, the fusion candidate for speaker
moved to make the selection unani-
nous. It was neat compliment
to Mr.. Sears, if the fusionists in
tended to place themselves on record
as in favor of the republican speaker.

LUBRICATiNG a WATCH.
No Other Piece of MnS hinery VIII Run
So Long, After "a single OiIIng.

30 LOhG ElItcE IL oIHBtt oitiLBs
Very few of the millions Of people
who carry watches realize TO what a
powerful extent fabrication is de.
veloped, and what an extraordinary
number of turns the balance wheel
makes with one oiling, says the Phiia.
delphia Record. \ Chestnut street
matchmaker, whose knowledge Of these
wonderful pieces of mechanism is not
exceeded by any man in this city, has
made up an interesting table of COM
parison to show the perfection of lubri-
cation in a watch.
A watch will run On n oiliEg from
a year to a year and a half. Every min
ute the balance wheel turns on its
axis $50 times, and 27,000 times in an
hour. Accepting the year rs the time
the ordinary watch will run. with one
oiling, he finds that if the driver of a
locomotive was as well oiled as a bali
ance wheel of a watch, it ought TO run
GO miles an hour day and night for
Gas days, or well on to two years, with
one oiling. In that time it would
traverse q distance equal to nearly four
times the circumference of The earth.
In view of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day with
out reoiling, he maintains thet the
matchmaker has developed his art TO a
far greater degree than the locomotive
builder has yet been able to reach.

Still, Mrs. Peabody was a society woman

would no more have missed a social

have broken the decalogue, and she
certainly would not have done that, for
she was not only a member of one of
