EDDIE MCGEE WANTED.
Leader Of the Beals kidnapping at Kansas
City Thought to Have Been Mixed
Up In the Cudahy Affair.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 30.-Eddie MCGEE,
alas Burns, alias Ralston, the noto-
rious leader in the Beals kidnapping
at Kansas City six years ago and who
served seven years in the Joliet prison
for another offense, is now wanted
by the police as the "dark-complex-
toned man" in the Cudahy abduction.
MCGEE is known to be a friend of
Pat Grove. The fact that the alb
ductors told young Cudahy he was
wanted as Eddie MCGEE for stealing
$50 from his aunt" is considered sig
nificant. McGee's criminal record is
long one and he is alleged to have
had hand in at least three abduc-
tions. His description fits fairly well
that of the man seen in company
with the alleged Grove.

WAKING THE DEAD.

Our friend, Col. Bingham, will have his little joke. The other day, saunter- ing along Fremont street by Kings Chapel, he caught the eye of what he took to be rural visitor, and, indeed, of what proved to be such. Subway under here" said the Colonel.
 "Is they?' replied the stranger
 They is,' reaffirmed the colonel. Then nodding toward the cemetery and whis- pering mysteriously he said. Wakes the dead. Hear 'em holler?"
 The suburbanite listened, and, sure enough, sobbing sounds were coming up from the city of graves. He made glance of respect and homage at the Colonel and hurried away scared.
 Col. Bingham, perceiving this to be good one, stood for time hand at ear, intently listening. He wore look of tender pity, mingled with horror. Pres ently he was joined by others of that class, who, though apparently respecta- ble and busy citizens one moment, are ready to rubber indefinitely the next, if they see anybody else rubbering. There was more listening.
 Subway under here" he finally re- marked.
 Away under" retorted the man nearest him. That ain't the cars"
 'They wake the dead" said Col. Bing- ham. "You can hear 'em howl"
 ''Howl, nothin'," burted the other man, That's the ventilators. ."-Boston Post

THE LAST PRACTICE.
Yale Men Gave Their Team Encourage ment Yesterday-A Thousand at the FtaId .s

Yale Men Gave Their Team Encourage Field.
 Yesterday afternoon over thousand Yale students met at the fence in front of Durfee hall and marched to Yale field to cheer the football team in their last practice before the game with Princeton Saturday. The line of stu dents was two blocks long and they made an impressive sight marching up Chapel street in the middle of the street singing and cheering the mem- bers of the team.
 When they reached the field cheers for the team were given just outside of the entrance and then they entered the enclosure.
 Leslie Johnston, John Carton and two other Yale leaders were at the head of the procession around the field to the west stand, where two sections were completely filled,
 The men who will lead the cheering Saturday were on the side lines, and they kept the men cheering almost in- cessantly through the practice. All the football songs were sung in a hearty manner and everybody is waiting now for the appearance of the Tigers.
 The open practice consisted of kick ing and handling the ball and the work was clean. There was no scrimmage work at all. It now looks as though Johnny Hart, the former Hillhouse high school player, would start the game at left half back tomorrow. Will helmis injury, as was stated in this pa per yesterday, will keep him out of the game, and as Hart has played a good game nearly all the season at left half he is thought to have the preference He handled the kicks well yesterday and the coachers paid a great deal of attention to him.
 It was announced last night that Hamlin would play in Glass place at right guard tomorrow and that Goss would start the game at left tackle. In that event, and in case Hart plays, the Yale team will take the field as follows: Left end, Captain Gould; left tackle, Goss; left guard, Olcott; center Holt; right guard, Hamlin; right tackle,

JOHNNY ON THE DAcHsHuND.

The dachshund is a dog. He is very short up and down, and very long lengthways. His forelegs are quite crooked, which is a good thing for him, because if they were strengthened up his shoulders would be about four inches higher than the remainder of him. The dachshund wears his ears low down. He is quite docile, but prefers the Ger man language to any other. It is very amusing to see dachshund chasing his tail, which he cannot do gracefully on account of not having enough legs. If I had to be dog I would much rather be a large Newfoundland; still we must not repine at our lot. Whatever Provi- dence orders is best for us. Our hired girl says her cousin once had dach- shund that got in his way when he was chopping wood and he accidentally cut the dogs tail off. At g o'clock next day the dachshund emitted frightful scream He had just found it out. A dachshund is the only thing you cannot buy at a department store.-From the Chicago Tribune.

WAS THIS A GOOD DINNER?


 The New York Tribune gives, in all the seeming barbarity of the old Saxon language, the bill of fare used at the elaborate banquet which took place at Delmonicos recently in connection with the King Alfred millenary celebration. This great King of England died a thousand years ago; the menu does not resemble our modern ones, and only boundless faith in Delmonico's could have emboldened the many distinguish ed guests to partake of portion of ncate-Eboracum," or of "Sweta- Borys- -Heb;'' in fact, the only recogniz- able name in the whole list is "Apolli- naris," which in double sense is fa- miliar in millions of mouths, but even that is not modern word, as good St. Apollinaris died many century before King Alfred was born.
