POLICE COURT.
A Gang of Tough Characters Up Before
Justice Crawford.

All sorts and conditions of men
broke the monotony of police court
this morning. The desire of each of
fender to tell of his past was over
whelming, but the judge was not inter
ested in their past and compelled them
to listen to their present.
Depot Master Barton brought in H.
Aldredge, II. J. Dryden and Will Den
ten. They were sleeping in an ice box
on No. Z. They were taken from their
cool sleeping apartments and given
warmer quarters in the police station.
Aldredge had. the misfortune of slut
tering, in fact his condition was such
that it was difficult for him to speak.
Dryden told story of long siege in
a hospital and Denten, a mere lad of
l3 years of age, was on his way west
when he was unfortunately molested
by the police. On the promise that he
would return to his mother in Flor
ence, Colo, he was turned loose. AL
dredge and Dryden were told to go on
account of their impaired physical con-
ditions.
Ed Wilmington and Ed Farrell, two
partners in the business, were each
given five days. Wilmington told
story in which his knowledge of the
towns of New Mexico was his down
fall. According to his story he has
two wealthy uncles in Chicago. One
sent him $S5 for incidental expenses.
The money was sent TO Corrales, lit
tie Mexican town ten miles from the
railroad. He gave up his sleeper at
Thornton and walked eighty miles
across the desert TO get the coin. AT
ter receiving his remittance, great was
his misfortune, as he met two MeXi-
cans. who held him up relieving him
of the weighty treasure. His story.
which was so loosely connected, and
his complicated geography caused con-
siderable amusement in the court. If
he had been given the privilege of con-
sulting a map his story might have
made good, but as II was a poor at
tempt he and his partner were given
five days each TO think of the present.
"Ain't got no money here. but got
lots of il at home" sang out Chas.
Williams, a colored boy who grinned
all during the session Of court. He
said he did not stop over here for no

Looking Up the Laws.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is seeking every
method by which there may be federal
action in settling the coal strike. His
cabinet advisers have been requested
to look carefully into the laws which
may have a bearing on the subject and
see If there is any statute under which
he can proceed. So far nothing has
been found. There is one ray of hope,
but it is rather faint in view of the at
titude of the coal operators. This is
that some mutual ground of arbitra-
tion may he found. What the presi-
dent and his advisors are trying to as
certain is whether a middle ground
on arbitration may not he agreed upon
These who have discussed the matter
with the president think that as the
situation grows more acute, both par
ties in the interest of public welfare
may be induced to accept it or some
thing of a similar nature.

The Particulars.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 11.--Train No. IL
reaches Lincoln at 1856 a. m. and
leaves for the northwest ten minutes
later. 1t was few minutes late this
morning and was in charge of Conduc-
tor Lyman and Engineer Clayburg. On
the crest of a hill, midway between
the city and the town of Woodlawn.
the engineer saw a red light and
brought the train to standstill. Two
men sprung into the cab. and covered
Clayburg and the fireman with revolv-
ers. The express car was cut from the
balance of the train and run ahead
short distance. They fired two or
three shots into the car and the mes
senger opened the door. A heavy
charge of dynamite on the safe liter.
ally tore 1t to pieces. Fourteen pack
ages said to contain 800 each were
taken. together with other valuables.
The men politely bade the trainmen
good morning, jumped from the car
and disappeared in the darkness. The
passengers were not molested, nor
were the trainmen asked for their be-
longings. The whole job occupied
scarcely an hour. The train was run
back to Lincoln. the wrecked express
car taken out and at o'clock it re-
sumed its journey, the original crew
going out with 1t. Every town and
village marshal and every county
sheriff in southwestern Nebraska has
been notified of the robbery and told
to be on the watch. The Adams Ex-
press company officials say its loss is
not large.
The loss in the robbery is given out
by officials of the Burlington at $780,
600. They have offered reward of ST.
900 for the capture of the gang.

DIS STRICT COURT.

The case of the territory against
John Mann, charged with failure to
obey the summons of a road supervis-
or to contribute his part of road work
was up for trial in district court this
morning. There was a motion to
quash it on the grounds of lack of jur-
isdiction, because the case was not in
structed before the justice of the peace
of the proper jurisdiction. The court
held the motion good, and the defend
ant signified his intention to meet the
requirements of the road supervisor
without institution of new action.
The court this morning stated that
for good and sufficient reasons the SEN
fencing of the defendants convicted at
the present term of court would be
postponed until Saturday, the 18th day
of October, at o'clock a. m.

SUSPECT DISCHARGED.

The supposed car thief, James A.
Madden, who was captured at Isleta
yesterday afternoon by Officers Cooper
and Barton was discharged this morn
ing as no charge could be brought
against him. The officers did the right
thing by arresting him. as they were
out looking up suspicious characters,
and Madden's actions were very sus-
picious. There was no proof that he
had broker any car seals. although he
had placed his baggage in a car that
evidently had been sealed. When he
saw the officers he began making a
rapid retreat for the train. which
aroused the suspicious of the officers.
He evidently was a working man
beating his way to save expenses.
When captured he had about $50 in
money, watch and some clothing.
lie gave the officers a run for their
money and was ready to fight notwlth-
standing the odds.

PRESIDENT MITCHELL.
The Great Labor Leader Talks of the
Miners Union.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 11.-President
Mitchell arrived at strike headquarters
from New York shortly before 10
o'clock this morning. He was imme-
diately taken in hand by interviewers
but he steadfastly declined to talk of
his New York trip for publication. Mr.
Mitchels attention was called to the
letter of Wilcox to President Roose-
welt, in which he maintains the miners
union is an illegal organization. The
strike leader hesitated to say anything
for a moment, and then replied:
The miners union is organized
along the same lines as all the labor
unions in the country. If the miners
union is illegal so are all the others,
and | say our union is not Illegal"
This is the extent of Mitchell's talk
to press representatives this morning.
All efforts to draw him out on any
other question was a failure.

BISHOP CONATY.
His Successor for Rectorship of Cath
olic University Discussed.


olic University Discussed.
Washington, Oct 1.-THE term of
Office in the rectorship of the Catholic
university having been limited by the
episcopate to six years; and the pres
ent incumbent, Bishop Conaty, finish
ing his years of service this fall con-
siderable speculation is rife as to what
selection the board of bishops will
make at their annual meeting this
month. They have the power to nomi-
nate three qualified candidates and to
submit their names to Rome. The final
selection must be made by papal au-
thority.
1t is now regarded as practically cer-
tain that the present rector will not be
renominated. 1t is known that the
vatican does not regard successive re-
appointments with favor, and "rota-
tion in Office" was the plea alleged for
the removal of the first rector, Arch
bishop keane. Again, since funds are
an ever-present need in all university
development it is taken for granted
that whoever is rector, must have the
influence necessary to secure the need
ed endowments. While it is admitted
that the existing departments of the
university have been strengthened and
made more efficient during Mgr.
Conaty's term, still there has been no
real growth in the direction of open
ing new and needed departments. This
lack of development is due to the lack
of new endowment during the last six
years. Moreover, the present admin
istration, while marked with wisdom
and prudence, has not been of char
acter to give the university that promi-
nence in education which the church
authorities expected when the univer-
sity was founded by the pope.
As to the names likely to be for
warded TO Rome. opinion seems to
crystallize around that of Bishop
Spalding. of Peoria. His scholarship
is recognized and his influence power
full. Bishop Mas, of Kentucky, the
secretary of the board OF bishops, is
also mentioned. He, like Bishop Spald-
ing, is a man of large and varied erudi-
tion, and would be an energetic and
efficient pastor.

MISSION WORK.
The American Board to Meet Next
Week at Oberlin, Ohio.

Oberlin, Ohio, Oct. 1.-THE Amer
ican board of foreign missions of the
Congregational church will hold it's
annual meeting here next week, and
elaborate plans have been completed
for the reception and entertainment
of the visitors.
Oberlin has always been noted for it's
interest in missionary work, having
fitted and dispatched to foreign fields
large numbers of men and women.
Many of these were martyrs in China,
and for this act. and for the promi-
nence that Oberlin has always held in
missionary matters, the board voted
TO meet here this year.
Preparations have been going on all
summer TO accommodate the large
number of board members who will be
present. One thousand visitors are ex-
pected to be present. The American
Congregational board is the oldest

POSTAL CLERKS.
They Must Not Write Upon Letters
Snowbound Alaska.


The clerks in some of the United
States postofices have been taking
liberties with letters sent through
their hands, which have led to COM
plants being made to headquarters in
Washington. The charge is that
clerks have been drawing pictures
upon envelopes, and writing short SEN
tences to the addresses. An order
has accordingly Oeen issued, directing
that clerks must not add anything to
the marks made necessary by the pos
tai regulations.
Another order of interest is connect
ed with the Alaska mail. All postmas-
ters are warned against registering
parcels for about thirty towns in
Alaska during the winter months, as
the department is not able to deliver
them until spring The postoffices in
the list are: Anvik, Barraw, BEETLES,
Bluff, Candle, Chisna, Circle, Copper
Center. Council, Deering, Eagle, Fort
Yukon. Colovin, Igloo, Jackwade
Koserefsky, Nome, Nulate. Nushagok,
Rampant, Saint Michael Safety. Shis-
moref, Spooner, Starr, Tanana, Teller,
Unalekleet and York.
The department has also issued an
order changing the name of the De-
beQue to De Beque.

Laying OF the Ground for the Many
interesting Features.
QUEEN CONTEST EXCITING.

Secretary p. F. McCsnna and his
able assistants are busily engaged to-
day laying out the midway and as
signing the different attractions their
positions on the ground. That part of
the city lying between Railroad and

man, the man who reproduces the fiery
eruption of Mont Pelee, begin to in

j. II. Barclay, the decorator who is
here from Kansas City, is also a busy
man. The queens float is finished, ex-
cept the canopy under which she will
ride and that can not be adjusted until
the float is taken out of it's quarters
on Second street. 1t is done in pink
and white, and is most beautiful. The
queen will sit in the center, reclining
on throne shrouded with bower of
flowers, and her maids will sit on seats
arranged at the four corners of the
float 1t is a work of art. The floral
designs on the Montezuma float are
quite nice, although not as neat and
dainty as those on the queens float.
OF course Montezuma was a warrior
bold and necessarily should have a
float of bold colors. Brown shaded to
white and green, is very pretty. The
eagle on which he will appear will be

of green feathers girdling his neck.
The body is brown. In its beck it car
ries a snake. Montezuma will be
perched on its back. The float will be
drawn by six snow white Aztec ele-
plants.
The office of the fair association is
in receipt of a communication from
Las Vegas, stating that the Meadow
City will be here sure. An excursion
will be run down on Thursday and that
day will be given to the visitors.
On October 16, the Santa Fe railway

Connection with this train at Lamy
will be made by a train which will
leave Santa Fe at o'clock in the
morning. Returning, the train will
leave Albuquerque at 10:30 O'Clock in

SHELTER INTEREST.
The Big Argentine Smeiter to Be
Reopened.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. IA. r..
Meyer, member of the board of direc-
tors of the American Smelling & Re-
fining company is quoted as saying
that it is only question of few
months until the Argentine smelter,
which was dismantled year ago. will
be reopened and operated. The plant,
he says, is considered by the company
one of its most valuable properties and
one which could hardly be abandoned
permanently. No more dismantling
will be done at the smelter.
The smelter was closed down be-
cause the American Smelling & Re-
fining company had an excess of re.
fining capacity" he says.
