Not Lempkey at All.

Nebraska City, Neb., Nov. o.
Some days since the Journal published
a special from this city stating that
William Lempkey OF Syracuse had
been charged with running his six
teen year old daughter. IL was a
mistake for William Lempkey char.-
ed William McTice with the crime
and the young man fed the country,
but he has since been captured The
mistake was caused by the confusion
of names by the officer in whose hands
the papers VeIe placed to serve.
The error appeared In all OF the
state papers, and has done a gTievious
wrong to a we'll known citizen.

Shouts to Female Occupants to Cast Their
CIo'hing and Dress ModestIy-Ejected
by the Police.

New York, Nov. % Mrs. Carrie
Nation created sensation at the
horse show today. She harangued
the great gathering on the evils OF

quietly and took seat in the tier.
She had been there only few min
utes when her gaze rested on the box
where some members Of the Wander

in front of the Vanderbilt box she
delivered a TRADE on oveIdress. In
the box were seated Mrs. Alfred G.
Wander bilt, Reginald Wander bilt and
M iss Nicholson. Alfred q. Wander
bilt was leaning against the rail OF
the promenade and did not see Mrs
Nation approach
"You ought to be ashamed Of your
selves" the woman screamed at
them. "You ought to be ashamed
TO wear such disgraceful clothes.
Take them off, take them of at once
and attire yourselves modestly."
Alfred G. Vanderbilt hastily left
his position at the rail and came over
to where Mrs. Nation was standing,
and wiping his forehead with a
handker hief he whispered something
in her ear and pushed her away.
The outburst of the woman at.
tracted great crowd of people and
the occupants Of the Vanderbilt box
were evidently very much embar-
raised. Mrs. Nation then turned
her attention to other boxes.
Finally she started for the cafe,
where she bore down OF a party Of
men who were drinking wine. MIS-.
Nation seized bottle and glazing at
the men shouted:
"Young men, don't drink such
filthy stuff. You are going straight
to hell. Where Is the mar who sells
this stuff? Show him to me and l
will tell him what think Of him."
Mrs. Nations request was speedily
granted by the sudden appearance of
M. Vile Pigue, the caterer of the
garden.
"Get out of this horrible business"
she shouted at him; 'yOu are also
going to hell and running the bodies
and souls of men. You are dragging
them down with you. Shame on you,
shame On you"
The Frenchman. however, ran to
Mrs. Nation and rescued the bottle
which she had repeatedly hrandished
In the ali to emphasize her remarks.
Then he pushed DER out of the door.
Here the police touk hold of the
Kansas reformer and forced her out
Of the building.

dent Roosevelt's bear hunt 10 Miss
issippi Is ended and he has >ot had
even a shot at bear. The last day
Of the chase was simply repetition
Of the three preceding DAYS so far as
his luck was concerned. Try as the
hunters would they could not get
bear within the range Of the presi-
dents rifle.
The dogs got fresh trail early
this morning and the president and
Holt Collier followed 1t half a dozen
miles to the big Sunflower river.
The bear crossed mile below the
ford they went TO, and believing he
was making for the scane brakes on
the other side they endeavored to
head him Off. When they got into
the brake however, they were dis
gusted to find that the bear had
doubled on his track and crossed the
river still further down. 1t was then
one o'clock and as arrangements had
been made to break camp at $3.50 the
president was reluctantly compelled
to abandon further pursuit Of the
elusive quarry.
When the president was out after
bear Major Helm, DR.. Lung and Sec

great Suh6ow river. They jumped

the later from his horse at about
forty yards.
Although the president has failed
to kill bear on this expedition he
has enjoyed his outing and speaks In
high praise Of the hospitality that
has been accorded him. He philo-
sophically attributed his ill-fortune
to the traditional hunters luck, and
says the next time he goes after bear
he will arrange to Try long enough
for the luck to change.
When all was in readiness this az
ternoon the president and the mem
bers Of the party mounted their
horses aud rode into Smedes, leaving
the wagons to follow The president
is hard rider, and the pace was
rapid 10 spite Of the bad trails The
distance. which is fully twelve miles,
was covered 10 less than an hour.
Upon the presidents arrival here
he found fully 500 people, practically
all the negroes from the surrounding
Plantations, assembled to greet him.
He thanked them for their demon
STATIONS, but made no remarks.
Ghey waited around his car on the
siding until! dark, hoping he would
make speech.
Mr.. Fish tonight gave dinner 10

members Of his party. At $3.50 the
special train started for Memphis,

then attempted to hide that crime by

leading Republican politician of Delaware,
was Meals counsel and managed TO OBJ

kind of punishment for his double crime
on techncality, after his client had been
three times sentenced to DEATH

in detail and declares that but for the
