Two Men Arrested While the Judge Il
Charging the Jury.
Lexington, Neb., March 19.-As the
Judge was delivering the charge Of the
jury in the Dinsmore murder case Fri,
day Dedrich Laue. uncle Of the muir
dered man, and B. F. Tussing were ar,
rested on the charge of preparing to
assassinate Dinsmore. A janitor
rushed into the courtroom and in
formed the balliff that he had seen two
men holding their revolvers under the
court steps. and detailing how to ACT
In concert In shooting Dinsmore.
When the men were arrested their re-
volvers were taken from them and
they were detained, Laue being placed
under guard at the hotel and Tussing
in jail. Dinsmore was cautioned not
to stand near the window in the Jail
and his guards placed him out Of the
range Of vision in the courtroom, SO
that he could not be shot from the
windows, as they consider the pros
poets Of the prisoner being killed very
strong. No talk of lynching has been
INDUCED in, but individuals are very
much worked up.
A verdict is expected today in the
case. and IL 1t is not for hanging more
trouble is feared. Tussing made the
remark in the presence Of the county
commissioners that Dinsmore would
need coffin in a few hours at least.

There Is undoubtedly great deal to
be said in favor Of the opinion that q
considerable portion OF the illness in
this country is caused by the unpleas-
ant habit OF eating too rapidly. OF
coure we all know, and have at times
very painful experience Of, the fact.
that this is a high-pressure age, and
all is done at express speed. but this
surely ought not to be the case with
our meals. 1t Is interesting, but not
pretty, to watch the business man
when he goes into restaurant for his
luncheon. 1t is with him looked upon
in the light of duty and not q
pleasure. He must eat, and he feels
that he has only few minutes to de-
vote to the operation, so that he may
be back at his office with all possible
speed. He attacks his food savagely,
gulps down his beer or wine, and when
the last sad rites are over he pays and
bolts--In fact, 1t Is case of boiling
from beginning to end. Every doctor
will tell you that people should eat
slowly, and occupy the time pleasantly
with conversation. In this way We
shall live longer and enjoy better
health and greater ability to cope with
the world. ~

Inrroysd the Opportunity.

Peter Foote, long since dead, used
to be a police Magistrate In Chicago.
Foote was intensely Irish and loved to
show 1t. One day dudishly attired
young fellow calling himself Frederick
Edwards. and plainly betokening by
his speech that he hadn't been long
from the shores Of England, was ar.
raigned before the justice charged with
lounging about the parks. When he
was arrested he showed fight and had
to be dragged into the patrol box.
"E 'urted me feelin's badly. your wor.

downtrodden ireland. And, another
thing, you must remember you're In
America now. In England you object
to an Irishman wearing the green.
Here we object to Englishmen lying

pinched himself to look unconcerned
while the Briton begged the clerk to
cut the nne down to "bob."-Chieago

TIE THOUSAND.DOLLAR BILL

(ConclusIon.l
Br LEONARD OUTLAW


An hour later Edmond Hackett sat
q this desk in the department Of the
Secretary of the Treasury, counting
and recounting a packet Of 1,000-dollar
bills. They were old and frayed, rag
ged and discoloTed, and belonged to
theissues of long ago. They were only
half notes, moreover--the lower
halves; and each fragment OF paper
had two big holes punched in it By \
blunt instrument, totally destroying
the signatures which had made it
money and at the same time reducing
the half-note to the merest remnant.
One by one Edmond turned over
these morsels of dirty paper, count
ing them most carefully.
"Forty-one, forty-two, forty-three,
forty-four, forty-fve, forty-six, forty
seven, forty EIGHT, forty-nine! There
are not fifty here! And yet they've
been passed as fifty in the Redemption
Office. Humph! Awkward for one OF
those clever ladies. A thousand-dollar
bill missing. Poor Mrs. Lawson. In
fallible Mrs. Lawson! 1t must be she
who's in for this"
Taking up his pen to make out the
report, he glanced at the wrapper upon
which appeared the number of bills it
was supposed to contain and the ini-
tials of the lady-examiner who in the
Redemption Office had counted and
made herself responsible for the pack
cts accuracy. What" The pen
dropped from his fingers. "B. II. Great
Heaven!" That was the signature of
his own wife.

London, March 19.--St Patrick's day
is being observed today in London rs
1t has never been before. This is the
result Of the queens order for "the
wearing Of the green" The wholesale
and retail dealers in flags completely
sold out their stocks of green flags,
and yesterday the freight stations were
crowded with crates of shamrock from
Ireland, and the delivery OF packages
of the Irish emblem by the parcels post
equals the Christmas delivery. The
supply Is not equal to the demand, and
as result imitation shamrocks are be-
ing sold In large quantities.

Compsis It's Destruction.
Washington, March 19.-Montague
White, the Boer diplomatic agent in
this country, delivered a lecture last
night before the National Geographic
society. johannesburg Is about thir-
ty-fve miles from Pretoria" he said,
"and position of strategic Importance.
It would be q menace to Pretoria-a
base of supplies for English operations
against very important points in tina
Boer defense. 1t might be possible by
an agreement that England should not
occupy the city and make use Of 1t
strategically to prevent its destruction.
Otherwise 1t seems to me-indeed, I
have never thought anything else
the Beers must destroy the city rather
than permit 1t to fall into the hands o.
the British, for johannesburg is a
stepping stone for the British-a help
for them. 1t has never occurred to
me that the Beers would hesitate in
removing stspping-st0nes from the
path Of the British army"
