With but few years left to him at
best, sick In body and brain-racked-
MS cup of tragic bitterness filed to
overfowing by the suicide Of his
brother-Cole Younger is becoming an
object Of universal public sympathy.
The dramatic causes which ded James
Younger to fire a bullet into his brain
having come to light, friends of the
brothers believe Cole should now be
granted a full pardon.
There is reason to believe, and I
think the public sees it, that the same
amount of anguish surges in the
breast Of Cole Younger as made life
unbearable for his brother remarked
a friend Of the Youngers yesterday.
Cole Suffers the Same.
IF Jim's life outside the peniten-
tiary as a paroled prisoner, legally
dead, was worse to him than life with
in the penitentiary walls had been,
what must Cole feel, who is several
years older and ill. I tell you, his
mind is just as full of disheartening
himself, although he never voices
them. He suffers in silence and So
llcits sympathy from no one"
Cole is improving slightly, but he is
still unable to sit up. His moments
of pain are softened, however, by the
flood Of tokens Of sympathy which
pours in on him in the way Of mes
sages, flowers, delicacies and cigars.
He is grief-stricken over Jim's death,
friends are preparing to ask full
pardon for him, and they are conf
dent 1t will be granted, although Cole
is too ill to take any active part in
the plan to restore him to legal life.
WoIfer Visits Cole,
His friend, Warden Wolfer, of the
Saltwater penitentiary, the criticism of
whom in his last message to the world
led Cole to believe his brother to have
been insane, was one Of his visitors,
and the two held an extended and con-
fdential chat together in the sick
room. Cole appeared to be greatly
cheered by the visit.
Active steps, it is said, will be taken
some time next month for securing
the complete liberation Of the only
surviving Younger from the bonds of
the law.
Miss Alix Mueller, 1t is said, will be
one Of the most active workers to this
end. AS the sweetheart of Jim, who
killed himself because the law wouldn't
allow him to marry her, the woman
has declared she will devote the rest
of her life to clearing his name and
assisting Cole.
.se,i VandaIs Desecrate Coffin.
LEES SUMMIT, Mo-, Oct. 22.-The
body of Jim Younger arrived here to-
day, and probably will be buried in
the family lot tomorrow. Pallbearers
have been selected from Younger's
former Missouri friends, several of
whom knew him from childhood and
served with the Youngers under Guam
trell.
When the coffin arrived it was seen
that many splinters had been cut from
the pine box enclosing it, probably by
relic hunters who had met the funeral
party at different points along the
route from the North.
The four corners had been whitfield
with knives .and long slivers cut off,
while along the top of the lid wher-
ever entrance could be obtained for
the point of a knife the vandals had
desecrated the coffin. Tucked under
the undertaker's card was the way
bill providing for the transportation Of
the body. Even this had been torn
and the fragments carried off, until
little except the bare address was
left

CITIZENS BUILDING
MORE RESIDENCES
Average Cost of Houses Is Higher
Owing to an Increase in Cost of
Material.

An unusual feature of the filings in
the city building inspectors depart
ment this year is the large number of
permits that have been issued for cot
tages and residences, the cost of which
average about $4,000.
Of the 100 or more permits granted
each month since the building season
opened fully one-half has been for
buildings of the residence class by in
dividuals rather than building syndi-
Gates or real estate agents. They are
scattered all over the city and have
caused the improvement of a large
tract of ground.
a year ago $4,000 was the average
cost of a story and half frame resi-
dence, but now $4,000 comes nearer
being the figure. This Is because of
the large increase in the cost of build
ing material.

LABOR UNIONS WILL
MEET WITH COUNCIL
Public Baths Approach to Be Con-
sdered in Joint SEES $
sion.

The local labor unions have taken
up the cudge1 in behalf of Health
Commissioner Ohage and his plea for
safe entrance to the public baths and
will discuss the matter with the two
bodies of the council at Labor hall to-
morrow evening. Besides extending
an invitation to the official bodies, per-
sonal requests have been sent to each
Of the members and all have promised
to be present.
In order to offset the sympathy.
which the unions have extended to DR..
Ohage, the West Side Improvement as
ISOLATION has forwarded to the labor
leaders in charge resolutions recently
passed by 1t in which the doctor is
condemned for his persistence and a
temporary pile bridge paralleling the
Omaha tracks recommended as a So1u-
ton of the difficulty.
DR.. Ohage wants the Gedney spur
track which crosses the fill facing the
bath entrance removed and the ground
there converted into a passage way
leading from the Wabasha street
bridge. He contends that it is cheaper
than steel bridge connecting the Wa
basha street structure with the island,
and in this he has the support of sew
eraI members Of the city council. There
is now pending resolution resembling
the order permitting the laying OF the
track, but each time it has been Of
fered for consideration it has been held
up. Nothing else has been done to-
ward improving the approach, beyond
the offering Of numerous suggestions.
Since the baths closed for the season
nothing has been done on the island,
DIR. Ohage giving notice that all con-
templated improvements, as far as he
was concerned, would be delayed until
he knew what was going to be done.
Not only the members of the council,
but representatives from the West
Side Improvement association are ex-
pected to attend the conference at La
Dor hall tomorrow evening and a live
ly session is expected. The labor lead
ers say they will insist on some rec
ognition of DR.. Ohage's plans.

HENRY j. LENTS, OF

From Since.

Information is wanted as to the
whereabouts of Henry J. Lents, who
left Spokane on Sept. II, bound for ST.
Paul, and has not been heard from
since by his. friends in Washington.
Postmaster McGill has received let
ter OF inquiry from D. E. Gleason, post

The writer says that when Mr.. Lents
left Spokane he wrote to friend at
Bissell of his intention to visit a sick
sister in st. Paul, saying also that if
she should die the family would take
the remains to Pittsburg for interment
He did not give the married name of
the st. Paul sister, and as it was I'M
known to Mr.. Lents' friends at Bissell
they have not been able to communi-
cate with him. A registered letter adj
dressed to him at the st. Paul post
Office has been reported to them as I'M
called for. They fear that some mis-
hap may have befalen him.

Of fifty-four alarms of fire answered
by the local fire department last month,
over half this number were confined to
frame buildings. A goodly number of
the fires were due to gasoline stove ex-
blossoms, while the careless handling
q of matches was another cause. The en-
tire loss amounted to s11,503.82, but
this was more than offset by the in

nearly $4,000.

New System of Railway Travel to Be
Inaugurated in France.

New York, Dec. IA dispatch
from Paris by way Of London to the
Times describes a new system of
railway travelling 500 to be intro
duced in France. A train consisting
of three "automobile' carriages is to
leave Paris for DIXON on January IS.
It will travel 62 miles an hour. The
carriages will take 40 passengers
each, as well as luggage, and a lava
tory Inc a bar will be provided.
Under the system employed a small
quantity of petroleum converts a
small amount of water into the great
est %propeling power, the steam act
ing directly on the wheels. Thus To-
comotives are superseded, and each
carriage is Independent.
The initial cost of the carriage, COM
plete, is equal to that of one of the
present corridor cars, which. however,
are not convertible to the new system.
1t is stated that a speed of 62 miles
an hour can be maintained for the
whole distance from Paris to Nice.

EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Presi-
dent Roosevelt is unquestionably cor
rect in assuming that the great in
crease in the postal revenues Of the
country is an evidence of business
prosperity. The postal departments
receipts in the fiscal year which end
ed on June 80, 1902, were 1922, 00O, 900.
an increase of more than $40, 600, 900
over the preceding year. This was a
larger gain than had ever before been
made in a twelvemonth. When gen.
eral trade is active the postal receipts
of the country always go up, and vice
versa. The country is enjoying in
this republican era the best days
which it has ever seen, and it knows
this, and testified it's appreciation for
it by the big majority which it gave
the republican party in the recent
election.

PROSPERITY IN PORTO RICO.

Philadelphia Record: American
troops we're greeted in Porto Rico by
brass bands and mayors with the keys
of their cities and delegations of cit
liens with addresses of thanks to their
%deliverers. After a few months, with
no particular change in the condition
of the island, the affections of our fell
low citizens grew cold. Then there
was a tidal wave and loss of the cot
fee crop, and bad business, and the
American conquerors were denounced
as the authors of the islands misfor-
tunes. Now the tidal wave has been
forgotten, a free United States market
for sugar and tobacco makes the is
land prosperous, and the Porto Ricans
are reported to be extremely proud of
their relation to the United States.

RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

1t is possible thai the ship and rail
Way companies may succeed in de-
c2iving some of the members of con-
3ress by their pretended desire to as
sist the employers of the United
States to secure labor, but it is not
probable. Their motives are too ap-
parent. The time has come when
prudence and justice should advise a
check. to unrestricted immigration, es-
pecially in view of the undesirability
of the class of immigration that is
now coming to these shores and has
been pouring in during the last few
years. So long as the bulk of the i'm
migrants came from the northern
countries of Europe it was proper that
a welcome should be extended to
them. They came as home makers,
as tillers of the soil and speedily de-
veloped into a class of citizens de-
sirable in every respect. But the i'm
migrants of the present are different.
They are representative of a civiliZa-
ton but little removed from barbar-
ism and their acquisition can in no.
wise be considered as one beneficial
to the land of their adoption. On the
contrary they constitute a menace, a
threat to well organized conditions in
the communities that may be so un-
fortunate as to become their place
of abode. ~Illiterate and accustomed
to poverty, they are thrown into COM

SUGAR TRUST CONTROLS.

Minneapolis Journal: The recent
sharp advance in the price of sugar
leaves little room for doubt that the
American Sugar Refining company
has obtained absolute control of the
sugar situation in this country; that
the promised competition of the beet
sugar people has been effectually
done away with. This outcome is
not surprising. The sugar trust is
quite able to force the American beet
sugar makers to terms whenever it
sees fit to do SO and control the sit
uation. In view of this fact, what
becomes of the theory that American
beet sugar should be protected by
high rates of duty against Cuban i'm
ports? The probabilities are that the
Cuban imports handled by the sugar
trust would not affect the price to
the consumer one way or the other,
but the control of the situation by the
sugar. trust leaves no oom for oppo-
sition to Cuban reciprocity on the
ground of protecting our American
sugar interests. They are evidently
controlled completely by the sugar
trust and have no service to render
the public which the public is bound
to consider in treating the Cuban
question.
