raAW ASSAULT llRRHAM.
RsJdsrk able lncidpntti4f Che Balch
Case Revealed 4 ttmaha. Ii

Omaha, Aug. 25.-Dr. HOFFMAN, who
has been constantly in attendance since
Thursday morning, says that Edward p.
Ralch, assistant cashier Of the Omaha
National Bank, who was so mysteri-
iously assaulted and robbed of $50 In;
money and two drafts for a like amount
while sleeping in Pullman car en- route
over the Northwestern from Chicago
Thursday morning, will live.
The mystery surrounding the case has
not been dispelled. Balch has not been
able to tell coherent story of the az.
sault. The attending physician will not
permit him to talk.
A remarkable phase of the case wac
disclosed today. At the moment when
the train was passing Grand junction,
a station east of Boone, Mrs. Balch
awakened with a start from a hideous
nightmare. in which she had dreamed
that she saw her husband struggling
desperately in the grasp of armed men.
She heard the cries for help, but was
unable to assist him. She rubbed her
eyes and looked fearfully about. The
dream had been horribly real.
Above the roar of the train she caught
the sound of a groans opposite. The
frightened woman caught the curtains
back, and the next moment a shrill
scream of terror rang thru the car,
arousing the passengers from their
slumbers and bringing the porter and
the conductor from the smoking apart
ment.
Miss Redington, passenger. said she
was awakened by man thrusting a
dark lantern into her face as she lay
in the berth.

Subject OF Address by
Jonathan Taylor.
Interesting Meeting Held by Chau.
tauqua Literary Circle.

The Chautauqua literary society met
Friday evening at the residence of
Hon. n. u. Tibbals, los s. Prospect ST.,
and the members were entertained
with n good program, musical and lit
erary. Tile principal feature of the
program was an address OH Lincoln"
by Prof. Jonathan Taylor.
In part, Prof. Taylor said:
"In the largest sense Lincoln was a
representative man, representative Of
all classes of people IN the United
States. To the wealthy conservative
citizens he appealed because his party
was the sole representative OF the
great Whig party, and in him alone
would he found all the old ideals
which for so long had inspired the par
ty of clay and Webster.
"To the literary and religious peoples
his sincerity Of mind and honesty of
purpose came us II relief. They saw
in Lincoln those great elemeuts of
character which they themselves were
strong to cherish. But especially did
Lincoln stand as the man of the com.
mon people. 1t must be clear that in
America the life of the common people
first began. Their life all through an.
cient and mediaeval history had been
simply the life of serfs and slaves. In
America the people began to live. This
was their country; Lincoln was their
man.
Viewed from the standpoint OF
American History the cause of free
dom and unity maintained by Lincoln

Revolution itself. Viewed from
The side Of universal history, the
results of the Civil war were the final

this large way, we must admit that
Lincoln stands very near TO Washing
ton. His place In the worlds history
is not easy TO determine. Certainly in
military genius he was not equal to
Caesar; in diplomacy, Richelieu sur
passed him; in pure craftsmanship he
is not IN the same class as Marzarin Oh
Colbert; his state papers are certainly
equuled by those of Pitt or George
Fox. Let one consider the results OF
the policy of these men. We can com
prehend Lincoln's superiority. Each

REWARD
For Arrest of CoteII Has
Been Paid.


Detective james Doran, of Cleveland,
has received $1,000. his reward for tho
arrest and conviction of Romulus Co
tell. He sued the county for the
amount. He won in both the Common
Pleas and Circuit courts.
Referring to the natter the Cleve.
land Plain Dealer says:
After several years of waiting and
fighting in the courts Detective Doran
has received the $1,000 reward Of
fered for the arrest and conviction OF
the Stone murderers.
-Four years ago last spring the com.
muDlty of Tallmadge, near Akron, wns
shocked on Sunday morning at the
news that Mr.. and Mrs. Stone, and
one of their daughters, highly respect.
ed country people, had been foully
murdered. For a while the crime
baffled detection. Doran worked on
the case and finally got confession
from Romey Cotcll, young boy, who
had worked for the Stones. Cotell was
tried and sentenced to death, but later
was granted new trial, and is now
serving q life sentence In the state
pcnitcntinry.
After the murder case had been dis
posed of the Summit county people
refused to pay the reward. and Doran
was compelled to sue for the money.
Doran notified the police pension
fund trustees yesterday that he had
received the reward, and raised the
question Of the proportion that ought
to go into the pension fund. There is
law that says Is per cent Of all re-
wards shall go into the fund. Doran
says of the original amount $411.1l
has been paid for attorney fees and
that $500 of the amount was spent ut
the time the case was being worked
up In car fare and hotel bills. The
balance left Is S3S1.S9, and Doran
thinks only 10 per cent Of this amount
should go into the pension fund. The
law department will wrestle with this
phase of the question.
