PREFERS JAIL.
Aguinaldo Objects to Lawyer Getting
 Habeas Corpus.

Manila, October 16.-Aguinaldo has written to a lawyer who is trying to ob- tain a writ of habeas corpus in his be- half objecting to the course taken by the lawyer, saying that he preferred to re- main a prisoner while there was one compatriot languishing in jail suffering for the Filipino cause and an infinity of Filipinos are deprived of the liberty which they are anxious to obtain.'
 The civil and military authorities are having Sixto Lopez closely watched at Hong Kong as they consider his arrival there to be a source of danger.

"A Stranger In a Strange Land."

"A Stranger in a Strange Land" the new Anglo-American comedy which ap- pears at the Jefferson Theatre next Mon day matinee and night, was one of the farcical successes at the Manhattan Theatre, New York, and 1t Is said that the cast that presents it in this city is of itself almost sure guarantee of de- lightful entertainment.
 "A Stranger in a Strange Land' Is from the pen of Sidney Wilmer and Wal ter Vincent. It is the story of a young Englishman, who. being sent to America in the hopes that trip abroad might settle him, returns home and launches into an ocean of lying with a view of de- ceiving his relatives as to his conduct abroad. The authors have seized upon this pretext to illustrate the fashion of English people, as. well as other foreign CTS. of getting our geography mixed up, often locating Omaha just back of liar lem. The situations are said to be very funny, the climaxes unctuous in their hu- nor and happy in tableaux. Altogether, this promises to be one of the dramatic treats of the season.

ACCIDENT is FATAL
Result of Riding Free on
Freight Train.
ARNETT DIED YESTERDAY
At St Francis Hospital With
out Recovering Consciousness.
ARNETT DIED YESTERDAY

As result Of an attempt to steal ride
on Rock Island freight train Sunday
afternoon, Albert Arnett sustained in
juries from which he died at o'clock
yesterday afternoon at St Francis Hos
pital after being unconscious from the
time he was brought to the institution in
the ambulance
The story as told by eye witnesses is to
the effect that some five or six boys had
been about the yards during the after
noon jumping on and OF the trains, and
J among them was the deceased. Albert
Arnett. The accident occurred at Sec
/ ond street and the Rock Island track.
AS the train reached this point the brake
man discovered that the boys were on
the steps of the cars and fearing that
some Of them might get injured he called
on them to leave the train. All of the
boys, excepting Arnett. obeyed. The lat
ter held firm to the step on the side Of
the freight car and was looking upward.
his body being extended from the car.
The train had gained some speed by this
switch post that stood between the
tracks. As a result ne struck the iron
post with such force that the same was
bent The iron points pierced his brain
and fractured the lower jaw bone. He
then fell to the ground with considerable
force. AS soon as possible the train was
stopped and a physician was sent for.
The latter ordered the unconscious lad
to be removed to ST. Francis Hospital.
where an examination as TO the injuries
was made Everything was done to re-
store the boy to consciousness but the
efforts of Dr.. Purves. the attending ply
stefan, were without avail At the time
it was not thought that the boy could
live until morning because Of the char
acter Of his injuries.
The mother or the boy was informed of
what occurred Immediately after the ac-
cident Mrs. Arnett is widow lady and
lives on Second street. near st. francis
avenue.
For the past four years she has been
an invalid and unable to move about
without assistance. The mother was
greatly shocked when she learned what
had befallen her son and It is feared
that she may become worse in conse-
quence Of this fact
The train was regular freight run
ming from Wichita to Herington and was
in charge Of Conductor Hatten
It was stated yesterday that the brake
man, seeing the boys jumping on and of
the train, hit young Arnett with club
This fact, however. is absolutely without
foundation and is denied by eye witnesses
to the whole affair
It is possible that an inquest may be
ordered for this afternoon in order to
obtain an official record as to the manner
in which he met his death.
The funeral viii be neld tomorrow.
Undertaken Mueller having charge of
the same.

Something out Of the ordinary, and a
rarity in the annals Of the weather bu-

April. It was a proper snow storm-one
Of the old fashioned kind, with large

and fun of excess moisture that meant

The storm was general and covered a
large area of territory. commencing at
the North Platte river in Southern Ne
braska and extending clear down to lie
Gulf coast. and from the Mississippi river
on the east to the Rocky mountains on
the west. The greatest amount Of pre-
cipitation was at Fort Smith, Ark. and
general state of dampness prevailed
throughout Oklahoma, Texas and the
whole, entire south
DR.. Johnson of the local service says
that the storm was moving eastward and

comparatively no rainfall or snow at
