BUSINESS CHANGE.

apOliS.

One of the quickest trades recorded
in Richmond for many y. ars was the
sale of the Field drug store last even
ing. At about O'Clock a real
estate man came in and told
him he had some one who wanted to
buy a drug store. Mr.. Field told
him to send the man in, and he soon
returned With Mr. Afford, they talked
it over, a price was named and inside

The new owners of the store are

the best know druggists in the stat.
The firm has ample capital and
knowledge of the business. Mr.. Web

the present and the two partners
will probably alternate between the
two stores. They will make many
changes in the store, we are told. All
the old furniture is to 60 out and the
store be refitted entire y in the most
modern manner. They will put up
fine fountain and arrange tables for
ice cream soda customers and make
it as handsome as anything in this
part of the state.
All will regret to lose Messrs.
Field and Browne from the business
field and be glad to know that they
will remain as citizens. Mr.. Field
came here in July, 1888 and bought
the drug store from Steamer Il Rob-
inson in the room now occupied by
Zoller Il Craighead. He afterward
moved to the Dickinson building

WAYNE WORKS
$4,000 of Improvements
BeinQ Made-FirSt Shut
Down for a Year.

The Wayne Works are closed down
the first time for year. The foundry
has run off 2S5 heats since the last
shut down, and of the 200 men en-
ployei there over half are taking a
much needed rest. The others will
stay on, assisting in making changes
and improvements.
Among the changes will be the in
stalling Of new set OF Sterling boil
ers of 400 horse power capacity. A
new stack is to be built that will be
one of the biggest in the city. 1t
will be II feet square at the base and
125 feet high. The fue will be five
feet indiameter from top to bottom
and capped with 700 pounds of iron.
A new 125 horse power engine will be
added. giving them 800 horse power
in the works. The new engine will
be used to run a dynamo and the
shop will be lighted all over With
electricity. Power will be taken
from it to run the machinery in the
old Sedewick building which the
Wayne Works company bought this
summer-the first shop in Richmond
that runs by electric power, we be
lieve. The wagon department will
be entirely removed to this building,
and 50 will the paint shop. 1t is
thought the works will be closed un-
til December l. The improvements
will be run up to about $50 900.

BY Him.

The late Zacharia Stanley, whose
funeral will be found announced in the

Der of the Masonic lodge at Boston
and one of the oldest Masons in this

Mr.. Stanlev was 50 years of age
and his death was quite sudden. He
was partially paralyzed about year
ago, but was still able to be about
his farm. Death came from an at
tack of pneumonia. There are but
two members of the immediate fam

Diebl of this city and a daughter of
the late Will Stanley, who was his
sou. This granddaughter is married
aud lives near Cincinnati. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Stanley left in his will a
a provision OF from s., 900 to $40, 900
for Earlham college.
The will was drawn by Judge Fox
and is in his possession, and it is
certain that Earlham receives hand
some bequest, the amount of which
will not be known until the will is
probated, which will be done in Un-
ion county, probably, as the proper
ty is all located in that county.

the men coming and rushed from the
barn. They had two shotguns and

and a running duel resulted. The
convicts were at a disadvantage and
their shots had no effect while at
every volley from the posse one of
the convicts fell After two of them

CALLAHAN GOES FREE
Latest Chapter In the Celebrated
Cudahy Kidnapping

Omaha, Nov. 9.-The jury in the
case of James Callahan. after being
out 3e hours. brought in a verdict last
night finding the defendant not guilty.
and the prisoner was discharged.
This is the latest chapter of the mys
terry surrounding the kidnapping of
Eddie Cudahy. son of E. A. Cudahy.
the millionaire packer. and this is the
second time Callahan has been ae-
Quilted OF the kidnapping charge. Cal
iahan was first tried about nine
months ago on a charge of robbery.
there being no statute in Nebraska
making kidnapping violation of the
law Acquitted of this charge. Gala
han was then tried on a charge of per-
juring himself in the robbery trial.
1t has been remarked that there is
now little to prevent Pat Grove from
coming to Omaha The evidence on
which Callahan has been tried would
probably prevail in case of Grove be-
ing tried on the same charges, and
County Attorney Shields gave it as
his opinion that Grove would now re-
turn.

treaty. appears to have been the i'm
mediate cause of the death of Ii Hung
Chang. The diplomatic events pre-
ceding this tragic climax have enabled
Japan for moment to Illustrate the
designs of Russia
A fortnight ago the Japanese lega-
ton secured reliable outline of the
terms of the treaty and, thereupon.
demanded that the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries offcially lay before them the
text basing this demand upon the al
legation that Japanese interests were
involved in any change Of the status
OF Manchuria.
The Chinese plenipotentiaries re-
fused to comply with the demand.
Thereupon the Japanese government
from Toxic communicated with the
southern viceroys and induced them
to use their influence with the empress
dowager against the treaty. In the
meantime the empress dowager in
structed Ii Hung Chang to commu-
nicate the treaty. after certain modi-
fications, to the ministers of the pow
ers, and, If they did not object. to sign
the same. Ii Hung Chang visited NJ.

followed. Ii Hung Chang went home
IN a violent passion and had hem
orrhage, which the doctors attribute
to the ovcr-exertion of a weakened
system.
While these things were happening
in Pekin, the southern viceroys sent
to the empress dowager q memorial
against the treaty. On receiving it..
she telegraphed to Ii Hung Chang
countermanding the order to sign.
This instruction came after Ii Hung
Chang had become unconscious.
When NJ Sessar endeavored to have

treaty, Chou Fu provincial treasurer.

taken charge of the seals as temporary
successor of Earl Ii.
