Omaha, Neb.. April 29.-After con-
sldering over night the guilt or limo
cence of James Callahan, the jury an
nounced yesterday that he had no part
in the kidnapping Of Edward Cudahy,
jr. The verdict was an evident sur
prise to the court. and Judge Baker
expressed his disgust in emphatic
terms. An audience Of fifty awaited
the twelve men as they filed into the
court room. Callahan occupied his

''If Callahan had made his own choice

fornia coast and the NecKer ISlands,
which lie in a southwest direction and
number IL, great and small. Only the
largest two are inhabited, but knew
that residents of them roved among the
whole group and that shell %gatherers
and traders would be frequently met
with. Among our outfit was a 6 pound
cannon and 10 muskets, bought of a
junk dealer in San Francisco. If we
found the wreck, we might have to
hold it by force and do some sharp
fighting. From the first day Of sailing
until the morning we sighted Niger
island, one of the Necker group and the
one where the Good Intent had left her
bones, she appeared to be certain that
u adventure would turn out all right.
The wreck lay there Oh the reef as
she had been abandoned, and a yell
came from every throat. We had sim
ply to feel our way down to her as near
as possible and then take the yawl and
board her. She looked a sad wreck, but
we found her in fairly good shape
when we got aboard, having the widow
with us. The reef was half a mile
from the beach, and the ship had driv-
en- on to it stem first, run about half
her length and then made a cradle for
herself. AT high tide there were two
feet of water in her lower hold; at low
tide she was drained of every drop.
Now, see how queer are the ways of
fortune. We had not been on the wreck
an hour before two native catamarans,
each carrying 10 islanders, hove in
sight and came down to us. The fell
lows at once demanded a share of the
loot, and we had to resort to the big
gun to drive them away. They return
ed under a white flag before night and
offered their services for pay, and 20
of them were engaged to assist us.
1t would have been a great find with
out the opium, but the stuff was aboard
all right. The value of the tin cases
packed in one of the staterooms was
not far from $4,000, and Of general
cargo we took in a load which sank the
brig to her plimsoll mark. In a week
we were through with the wreck and
ready to turn her Eel to the islanders
for what they could get out Of her. We
up anchor and headed for the Pacific
coast at moo one day, and within
three hours we rose a bark which vas
heading straight for the spot we had
left. 1t was the captain Of the lost
Good Intent, but he had come too late.
We made port after an uneventful
voyage, the cargo was landed and dis
posed of with only a few days delay,
and one morning we were all paid off,
said goodby to the widow, and l never
saw her again.

Heathens and Believers.

To the question, often asked, care
there more heathens in the world than
believers in recognized religions?" a
positive answer can be given in the af-
firmative. Statistics show that there
are 4 100000 P%rotestants, 9S,0OO,OO0
Greek Catholics, 2%3O,00O,OOO Roman
Catholics and 10000 900 Mohamme-
dams. AS it is estimated that there
are about 1,5oO,O 10000 persons on the
earth and that the numerous sects out
| side of the four great religions do not
contain more than 100000 members,
it will be seen that there are S0O,00O,-
600 persons who may be classed as
heathens. Most of these, it is claimed,
are unquestionably believers in some
form of religion. Nevertheless, they
are idolaters, and to convert them to
Christianity has for centuries been the
aim Of missionaries throughout the
world. A faint conception of the great
ness Of the task which they have I'M
dertaken may be obtained from the
fact. shown by the statistics, that the
so called heathens still outnumber the
Christians and Mohammedans combin-
ed by 100000 ,OOO.-New York Herald.

A WIDOWS BID. ]
BY ~. QUAD.
Copyright, 1901, by c. B. Lewis.

AS a sailorman, holding a certificate
as chief mate, though at the time out
of a berth, l was in the Maritime Elk
change, San Francisco, when the ship
Good Intent and cargo were put up at
auction for the benefit of the under
writer's. l had heard something about
the queer voyage Of the ship. She was
from China and Japan, laden with
teas, silks and fancy goods, and, being
blown to the south among the islands
by a typhoon, she had struck on q
reef off one of the Necker islands. The
shock dismasted her, and she was
breaking up when her crew took to the
boats and were picked up after sew
eral days of suffering. When this had
been properly sworn to by master and
crew, it was for the insurance compa-
MES to come down, and when they had
handed over the cash the programme
was to put the wreck up at auction
and hope to get a bid large enough to
cover the cost of making out the pa
pers.
There was just one bidder, and. to
everybody's surprise, it was a woman.
| soon heard it said that she was a
widow and kept a boarding house for
people of the better class. She bid
500 for the wreck as it stood, whether
still hanging on the coral reef or at
the bottom of the sea, and there was a

A very large crowd attended Chris
tian Endeavor, on Sunday night, at
Old Hamlin, Presbyterian church.
Elizabeth Spencer was leader. This
society is growing fast, six new MEM
bers joined Sunday night. Everybody
is cordially invited to attend.
The two gentlemen whoa e to paint
the Counselman elevator, at the Sta
ton, arrived from Guthrie Center OF
last Sunday evening, their ladders
came on Wednesday morning and
now they are tingeing the sides of that
building with pretty green paint.
A brother of Hans Peterson, the
man who purchased the John Gamer
on farm, adjoining the 0. P. Tyler
land on the south, alighted at the
Station last Tuesday morning direct
from Denmark and after steadying
himself for a moment or two started
in a due south-westernly curse to
visit his relatives.
The bridge that spans the raging
creek, at the Blue Grass Creamery,
has been deemed unsafe so John Ward
and his force of men will soon con-
struct a new one to take its place,
and if you want to come to the Sta
ton, from the east with a team you
will either have to stop OF turn about
and go some other way.
Lee Wissler, a son of Rev. FL. L..
| Wissler, down at Extra, who works
for John Dimick, south of the Sta
ton, was thrown from a horse, the
first of the week, while crossing a
piece Of plowed ground and then
walked on by the animal, throwing
one of Lees elbows out of joint and
otherwise bruising his body.
Ar accident which might have re-
suited much more seriously than it
did occurred at the bridge, hard by
the Blue Grass Creamery, last Friday
evening. MIR. John Ward, the county
bridge builder had placed a pile of
lumber and timbers at the foot of
Creamery Hill and that day Mr.. John
Crane, of Extra, had started for Au-
dubon, driving a young horse hitched
to a cart, and when he got neal this
pile of lumber the horse eyed it sus-
%plciously and upon Mr.. Cranes urg-
ing him forward his terror got the
mastery Of him so he turned and be-
gan fleeing in an opposite direction.
Now, at this point in the road, there
is a high embankment on the south
side of the highway and toward this
the horse dashed, fright seeming te
lend wings to his feet. In the twink.
ling of an eye the bank was struck
the cart overturned and Mr.. Crane
still hanging to the lines, was drag
ged right up to Fred Heileman's door
before the animal vas stopped. Mr.
HELEN an and Tom White and Ton
Crees, who were standing near, cam'
to his assistance and after a douse il
a vat of warm water it was founc
that, besides several severe scratche
about the right eye, MI. Crane hat
escaped unhurt. Tom Crees lead tn
horse past the object Of his fright an,
then he went Flooding along towar'

A Great siberian River.

The Amur at Khabaroffsk, though
we were more than 500 miles from it's
mouth, was fully a mile and a half
wide and flowed in a strong, full cur
rent, which fact we realized for many
a day thereafter as we made our slow
and toilsome way against it. The
Alnur is one Of the few greatest rivers
of the world. In length it is equaled
by no river in Europe and surpassed
only by the Yang-tse-Kiang and Yenisei
in Asia, by the Nile and Kongo in AT
RIGA and by the Amazon and Mackenzie
In America. though if we reckon the
Mississippi and Missouri as II river
it is longer than any of them except
the Nile. Its water is somewhat mud

OF Cardinal Mezzofanti, who could
speak SO dialects and languages, 1t is
related that while he was at the Vati-
can a traveller arrived in Rome from
Asia to be confessed whose language
no one who met him could understand.
Cardinal Mezzofanti was sent for and
found that even he had never heard it
spoken. By means Of signs he learned
the strangers errand and that he had
with him a dictionary of his native
tongue.
This the cardinal took and, informing
the pope that he would be prepared in
"a hours to confess the man, retired to
his room. When at the end of the time
named he appeared and announced that
he was ready to proceed, it was found
that he had mastered the language suf'

Now there were eleven men, all told,
among these people, ard they were
thus able to have taxpayer In addi-
