NEBRASKA IN GENERAL
SHOOTING is A MYSTERY.
Victim Refuses to Tell How the Injury
Was Received.

SILVER CREEK.-Monday after
noon a man was found at the coal
house west of town yelling for dear
life. He was taken in charge and on
examination was found to have been
shot directly under the left shoulder
blade The man is about 80 years of
age, gives his name as James j. Fran
els, says he is from Baltimore. but
refuses to talk further.
Three hours after the shooting
man boarded an eastbound freight
west of town and persons seeing him
say he answers the description of the
man who was with Francis. The doc
tor gives little hopes of the wounded
mans recovery.
COLUMBUS.-Chief of Police Shack
received a description of a man wanted
at Silver Creek and within twenty
minutes had his man in Jail. He was
afterwards sweated by Sheriff Burnes,
but absolutely refused to say word.
When searched he had new Smith
& Wesson 38-caliber revolver and a
bottle of some kind of acid. Sheriff
Byrnes says he is confident that this
man and the one who was shot are
both wanted for postoffice robbery at
Belgrade. The descriptions tally eX-
actly. The Merrick county officers
will be after the man. He stands per-
fectly dumb before all questioners and
if he has a voice the officers have had
no evidence of it.

LIFE SENTENCE FOR MURDER.
Anton Christensen Must Pay Heavy
Penalty for Killing His Wife.

OMAHA.-The solemn hush that at
tended the sentencing on Monday aft
ernoon of Anton Christensen to spend
all the rest of his days behind prison
walls was broken by the quick, We
hement elapping of the sister of the
wife whom he had murdered. Never
was applause less expected and never
has it been more startling to those
who heard it. The little group about
the condemned man had been breath
less as the judge pronounced his blast
ing words, and shuddered to hear that
sound of exultation which is so rare in
court rooms, even when the pro-
nouncement is one of hope instead of
whitening doom. The prisoner ut
tered not a sound, hut bowed beneath
the blow, meekly and with all hope
gone. Christensen shot and killed his
wife last August.

to Examine Anthracite Region.


SCRANTON, Pa.-The seven COM
missioners appointed by President
Roosevelt to adjust the differences
existing between the anthracite mine
workers and their employees on Thurs
day made tour of the extreme upper
coal field and saw every step taken
in the production of coal from the
time it is blasted to the point where
it is sent to market.
The arbitrators had an interesting
day and returned to their hotel at
night, grimy from coal dust and tired
after eight busy hours. They had
to endure many discomforts, making
their way through wet places in the
mines. almost crawling along some of
the gangways and passing through
clouds of coal dust in the breakers.
Notwithstanding this their eagerness
for information was not diminished

Americans" he said, ''is on the side
of labor and its attempt to better it's

EVILS OF TRUSTS.
Eight of Them Named by Hoar of
Massachusetts.

Eight of Them Named by Hoar of
Massachusetts,.
BOSTON.-Senator Hoar, speaking
here Monday night, said:
The evils of the trust are:
First-Destruction of competition.
Second-The management Of indus
tries by absent capital.
Third-Destruction of local public
spirit.
Fourth-Fraudulent capitalization.
Fifth-Secrecy.
Sixth-Management for the private
benefit of the officers.
Seventh-The power to corrupt cleo
tions and in some cases to corrupt
courts.
Eighth-Indifferen to public sent
iment.
If the first, fourth and fifth can be
cured the cure of others, in my opin-
ion, will follow.
Now, is it not the duty of wise
craftsmanship to go slowly and care
fully in this matter so that we cure
Or prevent the evil without sacrificing
what is good?
Senator Hoar then reviewed the
Sherman antitrust laws, and claimed
that he himself had inserted in the
bill the section declaring any combin-
alton or trust which restricts trade
to be illegal.

AMERICA ANSWERS COLOMBIA.
Deals with Question of Sovereignty
of lsthmus.

WASHINGTON-It was learned
Tuesday that prompt answer had
been made to the latest Colombian
note respecting the Panama canal
treaty which was transmitted on Mon
day. It's nature was not divulged, but
the presumption is that it deals al
most entirely with Colombia's repre-
sentations regarding the sovereignty
of the isthmus. The Colombians feel
their rights have been seriously in
vaded by the acts of Commander
Mclean and Admiral Casey in pre-
venting the prompt movement OF
troops across the railroad. The state
department is anxious that a speedy
settlement be reached in order to IA
cilitate the completion of the Panama
canal treaty.

THANKSGIVING.
President ProcIaims November 27 as
the Time.

President Proclaims November 27 as
the Time.
NGTON.-President Roose-
velt on Wednesday issued his procla-
nation designating Thursday, Novem-
her 27, as day of thanksgiving. The
proclamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint a day of fes-
tival and thanksgiving to God.
Over a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took its
place among the nations of the earth
and during that time we have had
on the whole more to be thankful for
than has fallen to the lot of any other
people.
Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed
away. Each has had to bear it's
peculiar burdens, each to face its
special crisis, and each has known
years of grim trial, when the
country was menaced by malice,
domestic or foreign levy, when the
hand of the Lord was heavy upon it in
drouth or food pestilence, when in
bodily distress and anguish of soul
it paid the penalty of folly and a
forward heart.
Nevertheless, decade by decade, we
have struggled onward and upward;
we now abundantly enjoy material we'll
being, and under the favor of the Most
High we are striving earnestly to
achieve moral and spiritual uplifting.
The year that has just closed has
been one of peace and of overfiowing
plenty. Rarely has any people enjoyed
greater prosperity than we are now en-
joying. For this we render heartfelt
and solemn thanks to the Giyer of
Good, and we seek to praise Him not
by words only, but by deeds, by the
way in which we do our duty to our
selves and to our fellow men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the 9th of
the coming November, and do recon-
mend that throughout the land the
people cease from their ordinary occu-
pations and in their several homes and
places of worship render thanks unto
Almighty God for the manifold bless
iEgs of the last year.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington this
29th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1902, and of the independence
of the United States the 127th.

By the President:
