tician Passes Away Suddenly.
A Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 2 dis
patch says. Ignatius Donnelly, author.
sage and politician, aged seventy, died
at 1903 this morning.
The eminent Minneapolitan was
taken suddenly i'll last night, while
visiting at the home of his father-in-
law, Barton Hanson, 1922 Twenty
eighth avenue, south. From the first
Mr.. Donnelly sank steadily and soon
became unconscious DIR. Murphy was
summoned, and when he arrived the
sick man was still unconscious. The
doctor pronounced it heart failure, and
stated early in the evening that there
was little chance of the patients re-
'covery. Later Mr.. Donnelly passed
away suddenly, surrounded by num-
Der of his relatives. From the first
they had understood that he could not
live, as he was advanced in years, be-
ing nearly seventy years of age, and
it was sorrowful little group that
watched by the bedside as the man
whose name has brought honor to the
state of Minnesota lay gasping out the
last faint sparks of life. He died at
1903 o'clock in the morning, without
regaining consciousness.

ACCEPTS JOINT NOTE.
China Surprises the World and Asks Cos.
satlon of Hostilities.

SAtlOn OF HOBtllltlo0. .l.5
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
suspension of hostilities. Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang, according
to another dispatch to the Havas
agency, say that Emperor Kwang Su
has expressed desire that the court
should return to Pelsin at the emo of
February
A Pekin 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 ri 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 10 endeavor to get the
best terms possible, particularly 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. 1t is under
stood that Ii Hung Chang sent me-
mortal to the throne, couched in very
strong terms, urging complete compli-

STARS n! ISSpEAKER.
House Members Make Selection
Unanimous.
REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE LEGISLATURE
Senator Steele of Jefferson County is
Chosen President Pro Tenn of the
sen.te-several Contests Present
10 Bother the Lawmakers.

The legislature of Nebraska st arted
the twentieth century off in proper
manner by getting both houses organ
lied New Years day without hitch
and practically unanimous
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
presidents pro tenn.
The senate committee on crede ntials
that was appointed took no note of
pending contests. Senator Oleson, re-
publican from Cunning county may
have to show the fusionists that he is
entitled to his seat, and Senators Ran
som and Liddell, fusiopists. from Doug
las are already confronted with con-
tests. The committee on credentials
seated all the members who received a
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 a separate list
without avail. The members and the
officers of the house We're sworn in by
Chief Justice Norval and they SUBJ
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 speaker in the state ever before was
elected unanimously. 1t occurred in q
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-
hansted and when the roll was called
on speaker the tabulation of the votes
was extended from a 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 1t was neat compliment
to Mr.. Sears. if the fusionists in
tended to place themselves on record
as in favor of the republican speaker.

An Omaha, Dec. 81 dispatch says: E.
A. Cudahy has received second COM
munication from the men who kid
mapped his son. The letter is in the
nature of a threat and says in sub
stance that unless he withdraws his
offer OF 81. 900 reward for the arrest
and conviction they will kidnap anoth-
er Of his children, naming one of his
daughters.
1t is stated that Mrs. Cudahy is in
state OF nervous anxiety that must lead
to collapse unless she can be assured
that her little girls will be safely
guarded every moment of the day or
night She cannot bear to lrave them
go out of her sight. Ever since the
boy was abducted a night Waterman
has patrolled the yard and day
watchman has always had an eye on
the children, yet the whole family is
under q severe mental strain that can
not long be endured. It is the con-
census Of opinion that the bandits
feel themselves hard pressed by the
detectives else they would not have
dared to take the risk of throwing an
other letter into the Cudahy yard,
knowing the premises to be patrolled
by trained police officer, nor, would
the bandits have taken the chances
Of going to . telephone to notify the
Cudahy family that another letter
awaited them in the front yard.

WAY PROVE HIM INNOCENT

People of Lead Interested In the Case Of
Harry Tier.
A Lead, S. D., January 1, dispatch
says: The friends of Harry Tier of
this city, who was arrested for the al
legged murder of man in Wyoming
twenty five years ago, are putting up q
strong fight to establish the innocence
of the man. lie 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 it is
difficult to get people to testify on
either side of the case. 1t is probable
that Tier will waive the preliminary
examination and go before the next
grand jury with all his evidence. The
sheriff Of the county in which the deed
was committed q quarter century ago
was in this city shortly before Tier was
arrested to see If 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 supported by number of promi-
nent people in this city who believe in
his innocence.

The Nebraska Lawmakers Going
After Kidnapers.
FIX 1nRtf GRADES OF PUNISHMENT
Bills introduced In senate On second
Day of Session Joint Session to
Canvass Returns Of Recent
Election In state.

The senate broke the record We'd
nesday January by Introducing bills
on the second day of the session.
Among the bills were, four providing
penalties against kidnapping The
most stringent bill Of this kind was
introduced by Ransom of Douglas.
His bill, senate file No. 90. provides
penalties for three grades of crime
Plain kidnapping is made punishable
by term of seven years in the peni-
Tertiary. Kidnapping for the purpose
of extorting money is punishable by
life sentence and kidnapping and threat
ening injury to the person or reputa-
ton is punishable by death.
Harlan of York introduced two sep
arate bills on the same subject. One
bill deals with the kidnapping of chill
dren under fiften years Of age and pro-
vides penalty of one year in the pen
itentiary. The other bill mentions no
ages and provides penalty of seven
years. The senate smiled broadly
when it appeared that every other bill
introduced was bill against kidnap-
ing, indicating that the subject will
become somewhat worn before the SEES
sion is ended, yet it is considered Sc
rious question in the light of the Cud-
ahy case at Omaha and everyone be-
lieves the]egislature will insist on pro-
viding an adequate remedy for crime
that is now not punishable under the
statutes.
The appointment of committee on
privileges and elections, which will
consider the four contests for seats in
the senate, together with resolution
by Trompen, of Lancaster, expressing
sympathy for the Beers, constituted
the only business of interest. The
contest papers and ballots were turned
over to the lieutenant governor and
will be disposed of later.
In the house on Wednesday, January
2, very little business was transacted
as the only matters that could be at
tended to were permanent organic
alton before the preliminary ceremon-
les were gone through. The house ap-
pointed a committed on employees which
will report the number of employees
advisable to employ. The members
will have to take action on this before
the speaker can announce the lucky
ones.
The greatest difference existed
among members over the proposition
to have the house Journal printed each
day. This was proposed as safe
guard against errors in the record. As
the resolution now stands, the clerk is
ordered to prepare the journal each
day for the members but there is moth
ing definite as to the manner Of pre-
Paratlon. A committee was appointed
to investigate and report the cost of
preparing the journal in this manner.
Joint Session
Lieutenant Governor Gilbert called
the joint convention to order, presid-
ing with Speaker Sears. He announced
the purpose Of the session to be to
