Thomas shaugnessy, an Old Soldier, Steals
to Get Into jail for the winter.

Thomas Shaugnessy, an OLD Soldier, steals
to Get Into jail for the winter.
There was pitiab1e sight in Justice
Slater's court this afternoon, when an
OLD soldier, sixty-nine years of age, by
the name of Thomas Shaugnessy was
arraigned on charge of stealing a
buggy robe from the carriage of Frank
Lyman Tuesday afternoon.
The old fellow told pitiable story.
He said that he had been expelled
from the Soldiers home at Milwaukee
on account of drinking too heavily,
and for this reason he was not able to
get into any other home. Friendless
and alone he came here Tuesday, and
seeing the robe took it, for the sole
purpose of getting in Jail to find
shelter. The Justice sent the old man
to jail for thirty days.
It is probable that by the time his
sentence is served he will be received
at the home again. The robe was re-
stored to it's owner by Officer Zievers,
who arrested Shaugnessy.

SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN OPINION
AS to the Issues That Were Decided at the
Last Election.


Washington, Jan. Is. - While the
senate was considering the army bill
yesterday, Bacon said he did not think
the American people had passed upon
the question of increasing the army
at the last election. They had not
voted upon the question whether the
United States should pass from a free
republic to an imperialistic govern
ment. He declared that the Republic
ans in the campaign ''took advantage
of serious mistakes of their political
opponents and skilfully used those
mistakes to their advantage. '"They
won the fight" declared Bacon, upon
the financial question and the full din
ner pail"
Hanna interrupted to say that CIV
cry issue made by the Kansas City con-
vention was met and disposed Of"
Bacon replied that the newspapers had
quoted Hanna, when the distln-
guished leader Of the Republican party
made his brilliant tour through the
northwest" as saying shat there was
no question of imperialism involved in
the campaign"
'AThe question was not one Of i'm

MoRGAN's CANAL RESOLUTION.
Declaration Relative to the Meaning of

Declaration Relative to the Meaning of
the Clayton-Bu Treaty.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Nor
gan yesterday introduced a resolution
declaratory of what he alleges to be
the non-effect of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty upon the right of the United
States to construct the Nicaragua
canal. The resolution recites the
protocol with Nicaragua and Costa
Rico as a preamble and then proceeds
as follows:
'Resolved, That the Clayton Bulwer
treaty Of July 4, 1850, gives no right
to Great Britain to demand that the
congress of the United States shall
withhold it's ratification of said agree
ments or shall abstain from legislation
to provide for their prompt execution.
"That the ratification by Great Brit
ain of the Hay-PauncefOte treaty of
Feb. 5, 1900, as the same has been
amended in the senate is not condi-
ton precedent to legislation by con-
gress in providingfOr the execution of
said agreements with Costa RIGA and
Nicaragua; nor are the principles or
provisions of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty any just or admissible ground
of objection on the part of the govern
ment of her Britannia majesty to the
enactment of a law by congress pro-
viding for the execution Of such
agreements with Costa Rica and Mica
ragua."
M. P. Moran, of Graceville, Mimi,
and a member Of the National Farm
ers' Alliance, testified before the in
dustrial commission yesterday upon
the subject of transportation Of grain.
He declared that the Liverpool market
sets the price of the domestic crop.
AS a remedy for this condition he ia
vored the opening Of a market in the
Orient in order to induce competition
He opposed the building of the Nicara-
guam canal, saying it would make a
short cut for foreign countries to in
wade a commercial field If it is to be
built he said the countries benefited by
it should construct it.
