LEXINGTON. Neb., March 16-(special
Telegram 1.-THE county court room here
this morning resembled en- auction room as
the two men arrested Saturday night by
Chief Malcolm had preliminary examina-
tion on the charge Of burglary in the day
time before Judge Turton. The prisoners
gave their names as James Carey and
George Niles. At the close of the examina-
tion they we're asked by the acting prose-
cutor, w. A Stewart. IL they had anything
to say. Niles replied Nothing; this is no
trial, It is a kangaroo" The Judge blandly
informed them that the kangaroo would
appear in the district court. and placed
them under $1,000 bond to appear before
that tribunal. Being unable to furnish the
bail he issued a mittimus and the men
were taken to Buffalo county by Sheriff
Lincoln and Chief Malcolm, handcuffed to-
gether. This was for the reason that the
floor OF the Dawson county Jail is at pres
ent submerged in eight inches of water.
They will be placed in the jail at Kearney
for the present.

Doctor Eats Breakfast.


DR.. william H. Marcy, the Burdick fam
lily physician, was the first witness. Dr.
Marcy said he had been the physician for
the Burdicks for about seven years, and
also had treated Mrs. Hull professionally.
Or. Marcy described the condition of the
den when he entered it and told Of find
ing the body on the couch.
Was there anything in the appearance
Of the couch to indicate that there was
body on the couch?'' was asked.
We'll, the pillows were piled up rather
high" was the reply land 1t looked as
If there was something under them"
But did there appear to be a body
under them?"
NO"
He made casual examination Of the
body and loft the room, telling Mrs. Hull
"Burdick is dead and think he has been
murdered"
What did she say?"
''She made an exclamation, NY God or
something and said How shall l ever tell
the children?'"
He notified DR.. Howlands, the medical
examiner, and Mr.. Parke, Mr.. Burdick's
partner. Then Mrs. Hull invited him to
breakfast and he sat down and ate before
DR.. Howlands arrived. He had no conyer-
cation with Mrs. Hull during breakfast, az
she was upstairs most OF the time.
Relate the conversation between you
and Howland in which the word suicide oc-
curred,' asked the district attorney.
Il said that IL it was suicide or IL It
looked suicidal and he could make it out

looked very shady. especially as the di-
vorce proceedings had been started"
Replying, to the Judge. witness was Of
the opinion that Burdicks mm der had
grown out OF the divorce proceedings. He
thought he had had woman visitor.
Miss Koenig, Mr.. Burdick's housemaid
described an ingenious electric appliance
which lighted the gas in the hall and the
den By pressing the button the gas could
be lighted. By pressing another button
1t was extinguished On the night after
the murder it was found that this arrange
ment did not work. An Investigation
showed that some one had turned off the
gas in the den instead of extinguishing 1t
by means OF the button.
Daughter Not Interested.
MISS Marion Burdlck, deceased'S eldest
daughter, was then called, and said Mrs.
Hull first informed her of her fathers
death.
Did she say where he wasp asked Mr..
Coatsworth.
"She said. he was In the dem"
WAS that before DR.. Marcy arrived?"
YES"
Before learning that her father was dead
Marion said she did not go near the den,
though she knew he was i'll, and no one
was taking care of him.
why didn't you 60 to him?" asked the
district attorney.
Because knew something dreadful had
happened"
How did you know?''
From the way grandma looked. She
was exceedingly pale"
why did you not ask her about your
father"
II knew when it was proper for me to
know she would tell me, l knew that II
care would do any good grandma would
have been in there taking care of him."

A GROUP OF ITEMS COVERING
 BISBEE AND VICINITY.
Concentrates From the Mil as Screen. ed by the Review Man in the Drifts and Shafts of Mines and Public Places.

Uncle John Connolly was flying over town yesterday, evidently on a hot mining trail
 Patsy Vail was in from the mining field Friday
 Mr. Art, who was long since men toned by the Review as the proprie- tor of an artistic group of pertinen- cias down in Sonora, is in town with remarkable regularity.
 The Higgins has resumed sinking operations.
 A most favorable change has been encountered in the Calumet and Co., chisc. The shaft is about 300 feet deep, and the water gives the men little or no trouble. Parties employ ed in the shaft were said to be hunt ing for stock last night, but you can't always tell about that.
 Alph Lewis, who was injured about a week ago while top landing on the Oliver. is still very sore man in the Calumet and Arizona Hospital.

THE PRESIDENT
 DECLARING WAR.


 The President has no authority to declare war. The Constitution lodges the power to do this in Congress. Tn the discharge of his duties as Com mander-in-C Chief of the army and navy he may be compelled to take steps for the defense of American territory or property or the protection of our citi- zens. but these should never be of an aggressive character. In the transac. tions with Colombia the President was originally proceeding in obedience to an act of Congress. But when the treaty failed the same act required him to turn to Nicaragua. He delib- erately violated this law, and is still in disobedience to it, although it re mains unrepealed. Meantime he is ready. if reports be correct, to send troops to Panama to make active wal against Colombia. Though Congress is in session and has been, for the most part, wasting its time, no steps are taken either to declare war or to maintain peace. The country simply drifts, and an irresponsible President intent on his own election to the office of which he is the accidental incum. bent, is allowed to take such meas ures as he may think needful or prop CT to impose himself upon the Ameri- can people four years more.

TEN CENT FARES NOW BE TWEEN BISBEE AND DON LUI! ARE NOW IN EFFECT.

Expert Obermuller, brother of the man of that name who was recently exonerated for killing a man at the South Bisbee No. 2, is in Bisbee look ing for gold proposition. Mir. O. has done the mining, prospecting and exporting act in Africa, Australia and South America. He is astonished at our copper resources, but is not high ly impressed with the gold outlook in this locality.
 Superintendent Henderson of the Marquette, along with his better half was visiting in Bisbee yesterday.
 A K. Campbell arrived from the Huachucas Friday night.
 Old Boy Finerty, formerly miner but now doing business in Don Luis took Bisbee in last Thursday.
 Charley Hull, better known as the mayor of Don Luis, was taking in the sights of Bisbee day before yesterday
 Capt. Seymour is just in from the hills. He has made little discovery in the form of free gold, but not hay, ing yet made any locations, very prop erly declined to describe the locali ty of the proposition.
 Milan Tasovatz, all round rustler left for Globe yesterday morning.
 Secretary Miller, of the Modern came in from the hills day before yes terday. He has been down near the border.
 John korp, who owns a lot of min ing territory north of town, is con- templating some improvements on his ground. John has had some difficult ty in getting an expert out to see his ground, and has about concluded to bring the property into town.
 Huachuca Cunningham is in town with the other boys from the Monte. zuma country.
 Jose Valenzuela passed through town yesterday. He, along with August L. Webber, both of Douglas, own small but very promising claim on the Sonora river, just below Bac- oachi. It consists of only per tpencias, but contains a ledge nearly 20 feet across from which numerous flattering assays have been obtained. The values are mostly in silver and galena. They contemplate denounc- ing 20 additional pertinencias.
 Ed Printy and Deputy Sheriff John son were out in the country in the di- rection of Don Luis several miles last Thursday, ostensibly to locate a few Jail breakers. but more likely to To- cate some valuable property which still belongs to Uncle Samuel When questioned closely the boys admitted that they would much rather locate copper in the hills than have some bad man bob up from behind a bouI- der and locate lead mine in their corporosities.

The grand jury has reported on the Sheriff. If Dell Lewis never gets reported on' harder than he did by the grand jury, he won't get hurt much. There is little doubt but what Sheriff Lewis was lax in the care of the jail and its prisoners, and espe- cially under the circumstances.

Our attention was called to the wooden file case, which We think is not safe for the keeping of valuable papers and records, and We recom- mend a metallic file case, such as is used in the Clerks office.
 We also have examined the Asses sor's Office. In the absence of the Assessor, MT. Gaines, who is acting in his place, opened his books to our inspection. We found the books and office well kept. He informed us that mistakes are made, and as soon as possible corrected.
 The total valuation of property for the year 1903 is $5,77O,34s.12.

New Course Of Study.

A new course of study for the eight
years work in the common schools of
the state will probably be ready for
presentation to county superintendent
at their next meeting In December.
The special committee upon the re-
vision of the course has completed its
meeting with State Superintendent
Stockwell, the work has been mapped
out and divided. and the committee
has agreed upon the non-essentials that
can be eliminated and the new work
that can be added with benefit to the
schools. The question of teaching the
science of agriculture in the common
schools has been discussed for some
time. and preparation OF manual in
this study is being done to show
teachers what can be done than for the
immediate education of pupils.

MINNESOTA STATE FAIR.
Exhibition This Year Promises to En-
eel All Others.

St. Paul, Aug. 25.-The Minnesota
state fair will again be opened for pub.
lie inspection Monday. Aug. 81. AS q
result OF months of hard work the an
rcunccment is made that the state
fair OF 1903 will far excel all those
which have gone before.
The complete programme of the fair
has just been compiled. 1t is Of course
largely an amusement programme.
The other features Of the fair-the
live stock exhibitions of national
scope. the great exhibit of farm nipple.
ments and machinery-the largest ever
made at any place, the exhibits Of man
ufactures, the dairy exhibit, the agri.
cultural display, the fruits and flowers,
the poultry, the bees and honey, the
sheep and swine-all these need no
programme. 1t is taken for granted
that they are ION the programme"
from morning to night each day of the
fair.
President Cosgrove announces that
the fair will be ready for sightseers at
9 o'clock Monday morning. when it
first opens. This makes Monday the
best day to see the fair. especially as
on that day Senator G. w. Fairbanks
of Indiana makes the opening address
and Dan Patch goes against his own
new world record of 1859. ..

consumptive, whether his disease is in
the throat or lungs, must have rest at
night, and be free from the spasm of
dry and racking cough in the morning.
The diseased parts want rest, healing
and soothing treatment, and the patient
needs fresh air, good food, etc. German
Syrup will give free and easy expectora-
ton in the morning with speedy and
permanent relief. Small bottles, IS

him to cash it. Refusal compelled
