A MYSTERIOUS PROPOSITION
by Mr.. Cudahy and Chief OF
Police Donahue.

Accepted by Mr.. Cudahy and Chief OF
Police
OMAHA, Neb., January GA letter
has been turned over to Chief Dono-
hue, of the Omaha police department,
in which an offer is made to deliver
certain information to him regarding
the abductors Of Edward Cudahy, Jr.,
upon his compliance with certain con-
ditions. The chief and Mr.. Cudahy ev-
identity considered the letter authentic
and OF enough Importance 10 justify a
reply, because the following advertise
ment appeared in the columns Of a To-
cal paper this morning:
Your request, asked for in letter
mailed at Lincoln on January 4th, to
be answered before January 7th, will
be granted.
(Signed) Sc. A. CUDAHY,
81. A. DoNOHUE."
Both Mr.. Cudahy and Chief Donahue
declined tonight to say what the con-
tents or the Lincoln letter were or to
refer to the conditions prescribed there
in. 1t is stated that the letter is from
a man who knows every member of
the gang which Kidnapped Eddie Cud-
ahy, on December 18th. Further, it is
stated positively, that the revelations
to be made by the writer of the letter
will involve a well known man in this
city who has been suspected, but
against whom no possible evidence
could be obtained.
The acceptance Of the offer of the
unknown writer leads to the belief that
he has placed a price on his knowledge
Of the crime and has taken this means
to protect himself from discovery, as
he gave no address in his letter, advis-
ing an advertisement be inserted If his
propositions were considered favor
ably.

The Century quotes from DIR.
OMeara's unpublished Talks With
Napoleon at st. Helena this judg-
ment Of the imprisoned emperor on the
general who finally overthrow him:
81 asked him il he thought Lord
Wellington merited the reputation he
had gained as a general. He said:
Certainly: ] think he does. He is a
very excellent general. and possessed
of great firmness and talent, but he
has not yet done rs much as some 9TH
ers. He has not conquered upon so
large a scale ] observed that he had
shown great judgment and caution lat
terly. but that ut first he had been too
precipitate in advancing into Spain. He
said that he had shown n great deal of
ability in the campaign of Spain. 1t Is
impossible said he, for man not to
commit some faults. We are all liable
to ii. and the general who commits the
fewest I'm number is the greatest gen.
eral. and he has certainly committed as
few as any one I then observed that
still he WAS scarcely to be equaled to
himself. Why. certainly said he. He
has not done so much as / have done.
He has not conquered kingdoms in the
manner l have done. but he is an ex
cellent general. His operations have
not been upon so great scale"

A Young Man. Queer Pets.

"A pretty well known Philadel-
phian," says the Philadelphia Record.
"who is now at Atlantic City likewise
strives to attract the eye there by APP
pearing in the hotels and cafes and on
the board walk every night with gold
chain around his neck to which two
big gray rats are attached. The rats,
plain. ordinary rodents, but tanned,
wear gold collars, and the young mans
gold chain is fastened to these. Up
and down his back and waistcoat the
rats patter, but usually they are seated
on his shoulder, whispering i'm his ear.
Sometimes he fondles them or gives
them bits of cheese and cracker. They
seem TO be quite clean, but peculiar
smell somewhat like musk irritates the
nostrils if one comes too near the
young mans pets"

woman seed that 1 wasn't peart, and
she let me alone till arter breakfast.
Then, as l started out for a walk
around, she says:
'Zeb, thar amt no preachin at the
skulehouse today, but it would look
mighty decent fur you to sot down and

varmint and run it up a tree. 1 jest
got a glimpse of the thing and took It
fur a coon, but I orter hev known bet

was standin up and his eyes as big as
sassers, and If l hadn't bin cantanker-
GUS I'd hev figgered it out that no coon
could excite him In that way. The
thing to do was TO tie the dawg TO the
tree and go home fur an AK. The dawg
didn't want to be tied, but 1 managed
1t and went back.
'Hev you cum back to read to me

the old woman as 1 arrove.
No; I've cum fur the ak to cut
down a coon tree
Are you gwine to risk your soul fur
