MORE MYSTERIOUS WRITING
BAT This Time 1t Gives Promise of Solving
the Cudahy Case.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. IA letter has
been turned over to Chief Donahue, of
the Omaha police department, in which
an offer is made to deliver certain
information to him regarding the abb
ductors of Edward Cudahy, Jr., upon
his compliance with certain condi-
tions. The chief and Cudahy evil
dently considered the letter authentic
and of enough Importance to justify
reply, because the following adver-
tisement appeared in the columns of
a local paper yesterday morning:
"Your request, asked for in letter
mailed at Lincoln on Jan. 4, to be
answered before Jan. z. will be grant
ed. E. A. Cudahy, J. A. Donahue."
Both Cudahy and Chief Donahue
declined to say what the contents of
the Lincoln letter were or. to refer to
the conditions prescribed therein. 1t
is stated that the letter is from a man
who knows every member of the gang
which kidnapped Eddie Cudahy onDec.
1S. Further it is stated positively
that the revelations to be made by the
writer of the Letter will involve a we'll
known man in this city who has been
suspected. but against whom no posi-
tive evidence could be obtained

NINE HAe FABULOUS RIcHsl,
Asisena Property That WIN Probably
Make Senator Clark WeaIthisst
Man in the World

The American Mining News con.
tains the following article about the
great United Verde mine, the prop
erty of Senator w. A. Clark, which
if correct, would indicate that it is
probably the richest mine and he the
richest man in the world:
ut has only lately come to light
that the average value of the ore
taken from the United Verde is s7S
per ton in all values-gold. silver and
copper. This mine, so far as has
been developed, including explora.
tions and diamond drilling below the
present workings, shows an immense
ore chimney, 4Ooxeoo feet across, that
has been explored by shafts, tunnels
and drill holes to depth of 1,40O
feet.
"Just how far it will be possible
to work this mine down before the
heat limit Is reached is hard to say
but reasonable estimate would be
1900 feet. An estimate by one of the
best mining engineers in this coun-
try shows that the mine to the depth
OF 400 feet contains 336, 900 cubic
feet of ore. and estimating II cubic
feet to the ton there is practically
%, ,000 tons in sight.
III we carry these figures a little
further on the present four values OF
the United Verde we have the aver
age value of the ore equaling s2,5oo.-
100000. The present owner of the
property has refused s5oo,ooo,00o for
the mine"

MOORISH PRISON sYsTEN.
to Correct . Pitiabls anA Brutal
state Of ARalrs,

A dispatch TO the London Times from
Tangier, dealing with the announce
ment that the sultan intends to re-
form the Moorish prison system, says
anything more pitiable than the pres
ent state of the prisons it il impos-
sible to imagine. Any Moroccan SUBJ
ject is liable 10 be seized and incarcer-
ated at any moment, often without the
preten.e Of trial The rumor that he
has saved few dollars is sufficient
excuse for his imprisonment.
The state OF affairs in the prisons in
the cities is bad, says the Times cor
respondent. That Of the prisons in
the country battles description. Many
Of them consist of small, high-wslled
yards, with no shade, no shelter, no
water supply, and no sanitation.
To add to the horror, the prisoners
are chained by their pecks TO long,
heavy iron chain, sometimes as many
as 50 to one chain. without yard be-
tween each. Heavy shackles are also
riveted to their legs. The conditions
in the subterranean dungeons are even
more awful.
The sultan intends TO change all this.
He will overhaul the prisons. sending
inspectors TO report upon their condi.
ton. The prisoners are to have Suf-
fcient rations. supplied to them by
the local officials.

A NEW WEDDING CUSTOM.
with . Bridal Coupls on
Train.

A passenger on train out Of New
York the other night observed the mos,
elaborate attempt TO have fun with a
young married couple that he ever
encountered, says the New York Sun.
After the train left Trenton, man
passed through the car and laid on
every seat printed handbill. 1t on
nounced that at Philadelphia. a young
married couple, then seated. in the
drawing-room Of a car Of which the
name was given, were to leave the
train.
They were described briefly, and o.
tice was given that they would be more
closely indicated when the train
stopped. The handbill closed with the
announcement that rice would be dis
tributed among the passengers and
they were requested to make the Gus
tomary use Of it.
In accordance with the notice the dis.
tributor OF the original announce
ments appeared In few minutes and
laid on the seat Of every passenger a
paper bag Of rice. The train soon
reached Philadelphia and some of the
passengers went to the platform to
see what effect this ella borate attempt
to worry the young people would
have. 49,
Apparently It was failure. The
bridal couple alighted and party of
five or six friends pelted them with
rice. But the rest Of the passengers
paid no attention to the matter.

SEEKS LONG MISSING 4o7a3K,
Rich Manufacturer Of LeAAviils, COL,
Starts Search at the Old Home
At Kenosha, Wis,

Earl c. Brown, a prominent manu-.
facturer of Leadville, Col, is in
kenosha, Wis, on strange mission,
and one which has brought to light
peculiar story of other days in
Kenosha. Brown is at Kenosha for
the purpose OF making an effort to
find some trace of his mother, Mrs.
James Brown. who disappeared from
Kenosha under mysterious circum-
stances more than 2s years ago.
All the facts in connection with the
story cannot be discovered. THE
widow Brown" as the mother Of the
Leadville man was known in Keno
sha, had resided on Ashland avenue
for many years. One day it was no
ticed that the blinds in the little cot
tage were closed, and as the days
went by people began to wonder as
to the cause. Finally, on going to
the house, they discovered it was
empty. The widow Brown was not
to be found anywhere. Her best
dresses were folded neatly on the
bed, and everything was neat and
clean, but nothing had been left to
show where or in what manner the
widow had left her home.
There seems to be reason to believe
that Mrs. Brown met with foul play
somewhere, and it is possible that
she was murdered in her home and
her body sec-eted; but the little
house remained closed for so many
weeks before strange hands took
control that a criminal would have
had plenty Of time to cover his
crime. Many Of the earlier inhab-
itants of the city recall the disap-
pearance Of Mrs. Brown, but none Of
them are able to throw any light on
the question.

with imperturbable seriousness, said
to his chamberlain: "Take this TO the
princess, please. and make her sc-
qpainted with the contents"
The marquis, on arriving before the
cradle OF the royal baby, bowed
deeply, and, to the surprise of the
nurses, gravely read aloud the petit
ton to her. Then he retired to the
king. -
Well what did the princess say ?'
