Mitchell Vincent on the
Sioux City & Pacific Sale.

Mitchell Vincent on the
Sioux City & Pacific Sale.
Mitchell Vincent, of Onawa,
who for many years has been
doing construction work in Iowa
for the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway company, and who has
an intimate knowledge of Sioux
City and Pacific affairs, was in
Sioux City yesterday, and when
asked what in his judgment would
be the outcome of the Sioux City
and Pacific sale in June, he said:
"Ihe Northwestern cannot af-
ford to lose the road. I believe
that when the other roads which
might possibly be bidders, come
to understand that by their bid
ding they only would cause the
Northwestern to bid higher than
they otherwise would have to bid, /,
they will not attempt to break
into the game. But even if they
should, the Northwestern, stu
sted as it is, could bid all the
others to death. Understand, the
road is bonded for $4,000 mile,
and the Northwestern owps the
bonds. 1t is not alone the line
south from Sioux City which is SO
valuable, but the Sioux City and
Pacific terminals in Sioux City
are to be taken into account. For
instance, if a new railroad were
today to attempt to enter the city
of Chicago from the west it would
cost that road more to get into the
heart of Chicago than it would
for the construction from Chicago
to the Missouri river. The only
way a road could enter Chicago
would be by the grace of some
railroad which already owns termi-
nails there. Well, what is true OF
Chicago is true of Sioux City in a
smaller way, The Sioux Citv and
Paciic's eight blocks along the
river front are too valuable tc
lose"
Speaking of the possibility Of
the building this year of North.
Westerns proposed Moville exten.
sion, Mr.. Vincent said survey
for the line was located in 1886
and that all that would be neces.
sary before construction work
could be started would be the re.
locating of the line. This, he
said, would not take much time
The line could be built in shor,
order.

KRUGER NEAR COLLAPSE.
BOer Envoy just from the Ex-PresIdent's
Retreat in Holland Says His Mind
Is Slowly Weakening.

The Hague, Oct. 5.-A. D. Wolmar-
ans, one of the Boer ENJOYS, who
has been visiting Mr.. Kruger at Hill
versum, found the mental condition
of the former president of the Trans
vaal to be by no means satisfactory.
Mr.. Kruger is slowing growing weak
er physically and mentally. His slow
ness in reaching a decision on impor-
tant questions is found to be a serious
hindrance to those working in Eu-
rope in behalf of the Boer cause. At
the slightest question regarding his
health Mr.. Kruger exhibits intense ir-
ritation and vehemently denies that
anything is wrong. The approach of
winter causes anxiety, as Mr.. Kruger
refuses to leave Holland. According
to a remark made by a prominent
Boer, the former presidents condition
would long since have been worse
if hatred of Great Britain did not
nerve him to continue.

REVEALED AS A WOMAN.
Lena Martin. Aged 90 Years. Served H
Months in the Nebraska State
Prison as a Man.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 5.-For Ii
months the officials at the Nebraska
state penitentiary have supposed that
a prisoner, known as Burt Martin,
was a man. The discovery that the
convict is a woman and that her real
name is Lena Martin has been made
by the prison physician. She was con-
victed at Springview, Keya Paha
county, as a man, for horse stealing.
Recently her cellmate intimated to
the guards that an investigation
would not be barren of developments.
This was made when the prison ply
sician was called to attend her. She
seemed to take it as joke when the
discovery was made. She is 20 years
of age, large and cOarsely built for a
woman. She comes from u ranch
county and was not known by her
nearest neighbors, 20 miles away

NO RANSOM FOR MISS STONE.
If Money Was Paid for Her Release 1t
Would Be Fatal to Mission Enter
prise Elsewhere.

Constantinople, Oct. 4.-American
representatives have secured evidence
proving the completely of members of
the Macedonian committee at Sofia
in the kidnapping of the American
missionary, Miss Helen NJ. Stone, and
her companion, Nine. TsiIka, and the
assurances given by the Bulgarian
government relative to the measures
to be taken against the abductors
show that the gravity of the affair
is appreciated at Sofia. The depart
ure of the United States consul gen
era1 at COnstantinOple, c. NJ. Dickin-
son, for the Bulgarian capital, is ex-
pected to result in increased activity.
Well-informed people in Constantine
pie doubt that the release of Miss
Stone and her companion will be eff
fected by the payment of ransom.
The Ottoman government would have
difficulty in finding the amount de-
manded, while the missionaries point
out that the American Board of For
eign Missions has made a practice of
refusing to pay ransOms, on the
ground that it would create a prece-
dent and be fatal to mission enter
prise elsewhere.

WHITE QUEEN OF THE SEA.
The Gallant Defender, Columbia, Won the
Third of the Internationa Series of
Yacht Races and the Cup.

New York, Oct. 5.-With victory
flags floating from her towering mast
heads and the ends of her spreaders
in honor of her concluding triumph
in the cup races of 1901 the gallant
sIoop Columbia returned to her an
chorage last night under the escort
of the entire excursion fleet. She
yesterday completed her defense of
the honored trophy in another STIR
ring race with the Shamrock II. over
a lReward and windward race of 80
miles, crossing the finish line two
seconds behind her antagonist, but
winning on the time allowance con-
coded by Lipton's boat by Al seconds.
For the second time she has now
successfully foiled the attempt of the
Irish knight to wrest from our pos
session the cup that means the yacht
ing supremacy of the world and
plucl1y Sir Thomas Upton, standing
on the bridge of the Erin, led his
guests in three hearty huzzahs for
the successful defender. ''She is the
better boat" he said, land she de-
serves to be cheered."

WOULD GIVE THEM UP.
Congressman ShafrOth, Gust Home from

BE Too Expensive to Retain.

Denver, Col, Get. 7.-Congressman
John f. Shafroth, who with Mrs.
Shafroth has been touring China and
the Philippines for the past four
months, has arrived home. Speaking
Of the conditions in the Philippines,
he said: peace has been practically
restored in the Philippines. There
IS still little instruction in Samar,
but aside from that everything is
fairly quiet. 1 do not believe, how
ever, that the retention of the islands
will be profitable, as the government
will have to eXpend great deal of
money on them even in times of
peace. 1t costs now between SOC, O0O,-
300 and $75,OOO,0OO a year to keep the
soldiers there, and even if the number
is reduced to 10000 the expense will
be still greater than the profits from
the islands viii warrant. The islands
are Unquestionably rich, but their
benefit to the United States will not
materialize until a generation or two
has passed and the need for an army
in the islands has gone"

MUST TAKE OUR SURPLUS.
Senator Beveridge, Home from the Orient.
Says Our Commerce VIII Soon Rank
First in the Far East.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 4.-tAmerican
commerce with the orient must in
time take the first place, because we
are nearer the orient than is any
other nation" Senator Beveridge, of
Indiana, who arrived late yesterday
evening from six months trip, near
ly all of which was devoted to Man
churia, China and the Philippines, a
trip made for the purpose of acquiring
greater familiarity with the latest
phases of the complex oriental ques-
ton, made the above statement.
Senator Beveridge had little to say
concerning Marquis Ito, who accom-
panied him. Marquis to-" said he,
''is the first man of the orient. He is
the founder of constitutional govern
ment in Japan"
Senator Beveridge hesitated to
speak of the eastern question in an
interview. "To speak, said he, with
any intelligence of the far eastern
question, so vast and important, seems
difficult and almost impossible in the
discussive methods of an interview
1t is a question in which the American
people feel a very keen interest. 1t
is a question of paramount impor-
lance to US because our markets are
involved. To the orient the great
northwest must look for greater pros
perity. It is the orient which must
relieve the country of the whole of
its surplus"

HAPPENINGS ON THE STAGE.
Odd Situations That Arise from Oc-
currences Out of the
Usual Line

Things frequently happen on the
stage that are not down on the pro.
gramme," said well-known theat-
rical man, relates the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, land sometimes the
least thing in the world will discon-
cert the most finished artist. At
West end a few evenings ago I saw
an electric bug brighten one of the
singers until she forgot her lines and
rushed off the stage. The bug Just
settled on the ruff1e of her skirt, and
was doing no harm whatever, but it
SO disconnected the young lady and
made her so nervous that she had to
leave the stage until she could rid
herself of the bug. Little things OF
this sort affect women more than
they do men, unless the men are of
that peculiar and highly tensured
nervous temperament which we some
times find on the stage.
81 recall a curious thing in Mem
phis some years ago, while Bernhardt
was there, and it convinced me that
the immortal Sarah was just lit
tie different from the common run
of women. She was playing at the
old Lyceum theater, which has since
burned, and the place was crowded,
as is usual when this splendid artist
appears in any of her fayorite roles.
Bernhard had reached one of the
clmaxes, and had gotten well to the
center of the stage. Her eyes fell
to the stage floor just as a mouse
scampered out from the wings and
rushed across the stage right by her,.
and almost brushing the ruffie of her
skirt. Other women might have
Ieaped up into the nearest chair with
piercing screams. But not so with
Bernhard. She stood her ground I'M
finchingly, and rolled out her sem
fences in French without even the
slightest change in the information of
her voice, and without twitch of
the muscles to indicate that she was
at all alarmed by the sudden appear
hnce of the mouse.
"But one of the cIeverest things I
ever saw was out west some years
ago, while the leading woman in some
comic opera was singing her most
fetching song. A cat appeared on the
stage. The feline member was in a
playful mood, and insisted on divid-
ing honors with the star singer. The
young woman took in the situation
at glance. The audience had begun
to litter. She quietly reached down,
picked the cat up, and sang her song
while brushing the purring pushes
fur back with her pretty white hand,
and it is not likely that she ever
received more applause than she did
on that occasion. Tt was really the
hit of the enga cement"

HER PRAISE OF cZoLGosz.
Emma Goldman Says She Bows sin ReVer-
ent Silence Before Such a SOUP
Paper Barred from Mall.

Chicago, Oct. 4-Praise of Assassin
Czolgosz and denunciation of Presi-
dent Mckinley characterizes an arti-
Gle by Emma Goldman in yesterday s
issue of Free Society, the first issue
of the organ of the anarchists since
the assassination. Her article says in
part: ~
Never before in the history of govern
ments has the sound of a pistol shot so
startled, terrorized and Mortified the self
satisfied, Indifferent, contented and indo-
lent public as has the one fired by Leon
Czolgosz when he struck down William
Mckinley, president of the money kings
and trust magnates of the country.
Why this howl of hired press? Why
such bIoodthfrsty and violent utterances
from the clergy? Why the mad rawlings
of the mob the demand for rigid laws to
curtail freedom of speech and the press
Now that the impossible has happened,
that even America has given birth to the
man who struck down the king of the re-
public, they have lost their heads and are
shouting for vengeance upon those who
for years have shown that the conditions
here were beginning to be alarming and
unless a halt be called despotism would
set its heavy foot on the hitherto rela-
lively free limbs of the people.
I did not know Czolgosz, but from his
attitude and behavior I feel that he was
a soul in pain, soul that could find no
abode in this cruel world of ours, a soul
Impractical, inexpedient, lacking in eau
ton according to the dictum of the wise,
but daring just the same, and I cannot
help but bow in reverent silence before
such a soul.
The federal authorities issued or
ders barring the paper, Free Society,
from the mails. Mayor Harrison has
forbidden meetings of anarchists that
had been arranged
