Said To Be a Bad Man.

Last night word was received in this
city by Sheriff Wallis that barber by
the name OF n. d. Brown at OeBeque
had beaten up two Germans Of that
place in friehtful manner and that he
should come up and secure the Man.
Being somewhat under the weather Mr..
Wallis sent deputy in the person Of
Wes. Smith and he brought Brown
down on No. 8. I
h A. Stroud. mayor OF DsBeque,
swors out q warrant charging II. q (.
Brown with assault upon the persons Of
William Ran bow and Chris Brinkmarsr
with certain deadly weapons, gun and
brass knuckles, to commit bodily harm.
Brown was brought before Judge
Joseph P, Sweeney this forenoon and
waving examination on both charges
was bound over to the district court in
the sum Of $500 on each charge. As he
was unable to give bail he is now behind
the bars at the county jail awaiting
trial.
Brown is a married man, and looks
like quiet inoffensive fellow, but the
word has been brought down from De-
Beque that he is what lie termed in this
western country "bad man"

At 8 o'clock yesterday morning the

to be far ahead OF the usual supply.

ONLY ONE LIVING.

When Lincoln was inaugurated
in 1861 there were five ex presi.
dents living - VanBuren, Tyler,
Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan.
When Grant came to the pre- ideoo y
there were only two-Fillmore and
Pierce. When Hayes came to the
presidential chair IN 1877 the only
living ex-president was Grant
Grant died in 1885, Arthur in 1886,
and Hayes in 1893, so that when
Mckinley was inaugurated in 1897
there were but two living-Ha
son and Cleveland The iormer
died a few months ago, so that
only Cleveland remains At no
period, we believe, in the country's s
history were so many ex>presidents
alive as when Lincoln was inausu>
rated The fact suggests the men-
tai strain on our latter-day presi>
dents. None of them became an
old man. The explanation is that
the wear and tear of life in the
White House undermines the
health and induces death at an age
when other men are enjoying a
vigorous old age. This strain has
measurabiy increased during the
last four decades, and as the coun-
try increases in population and
power, and foreign and domestic
questions become more numerous
and complex, and spoilsmen more
persistent and clamorous, the
weight of responsibility resting on
the president will become more
burdensome. The man in these
days who can stand the strain Of a
presidential campaign and four or
eight years in the White House
must have an iron constitution

EIGHT HOURS
Was All the Time Consumed by
the Gentlemen Composing the
Jury to Convict Czolsosz Of
the Murder of the Late
President Mckinley.

Buffalo. N. Y, Sept 24.-Leon b Czol-
gosz, alias Fred Nieman, was found
guilty today Ct murder in the first do
gree by a jury in Part III, in the su-
preme court 10 having. on the 9th day
Of Septsmbe. shot President Williau Nc
Kinley, the wounds inflicted afterward
resulting in the death OF tho president.
The wheels OF justice moved swiftly.
The trial OF the assassin consumed
hours and 26 minutes, and covered per-
iod OF only two days.
Practically all Of this time was occu-
pied by the prosecution In presenting
case so clear, 20 conclusive, that even
had the prisoner entered the plea OF in
sanity it is doubtful whether the jury
would have returned verdict different
from the one rendered today.
The announcement made this after
noon by the attorneys for Csolgosz that
the eminent alienists summoned by the
Erie County Bar association. and by the
district attorney. to examine CzolgosT
and to determine his exact mental COM
dition, had declared him to be perfectly
sane, destroyed the only stage OF de-
fense that Judges Lewis and Titus could
have put together.
Before adjournment Justice White
announced that he would pronounce
sentence upon the defendant on Thurs
day afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The prisoner was taken at once through
the tunnel under Delaware avenue back
to the Jail. To all appearances he was
in no way affected by the result of the
trial

OUR Array OF TEACHERS.

According to statistics says the
Salt Lake Herald, compiled at the
opening OF the present school year,
there are more than 100000 school
teachers in the United States.
Among the large cities Greater
New York leads the list, with H.
900 men and women engaged in
training the young ideas how to
shoot. Chicago comes next with
5000; Philadelphia has $500, and
there are a half dozen other cities
that employ more than 1000.
Three hundred thousand is a
pretty good sized army Of educa>
tors, and one that the United States
has reason to be proud Of. Though
its warefare is all of peaceful na>
ture and its hostilities directed
wholly against ignorance, it is far
greater safeguard to the welfare
and stability Of the country than if
its members were armed and equip
ped with weapons of destruction.
Whatever may be the objections
to standing armies in general, there
will be none to object against the
enormous growth in the army OF
school teachers. The influence Of
the teacher in moulding the char
acter of children is second only to
that of the home, and a nation that
finds employment for a large num-
her of well trained and equipped
school teachers, such 'as those Of
America almost universally are, is
advancing along safe paths.
