New Yorker Comes to Sell Omaha
Capitalists n Machine for that
Purpose.

E. b. Thaw OF New York is In Omaha
trying to interest local capital in the man
ufacture OF paper from the pith and hbor
of cornstalks The results are produced oy
a patented device which is being operated
in Illinois successfully, It is said, by the
company which secured the rights OF tho
inventor. 1t is averred by the company
that the product of the corn stalks can be
made in imitation Of the higher grades OF
linen papers, as we'll as taking the place OF
the pulp papers which are now generally
used for newspapers and cheaper publica-
tions. Samples OF the paper which have
passed through the pulp mill only are
shown in support of the claim of the COM
pany By products from the manufacture
OF paper are cellulose and a stock food.
The patentee of the device insists the
machine will separate the pith from the
fiber, permitting the treatment of each by
a different process, so that the pith can
be used as a filler while the fiber is used
as a binder for the paper, but samples OF
paper made from the separate products are
shown. 1t is said that one OF the pith
papers will supersede parafn paper as
wrapper for butter and similar goods, as 1t
is impervious to both water and grease,
while a pasteboard can be produced equal
in all respects to the pulp BOARD now in
use.

FIGHT FOR CHILD'S CHARGE
Chicago Teacher and His Parents
Quarrel over Custody of
Little Girl.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1l.-Under a writ OF at
tachment for contempt OF court issued by
Judge Creighton of Springfield, ILL.,, James
W. Brooks, principal Of the Shields Gram
mar school, was arrested today as he was
leaving the Normal Park Presbyterian
church. The arrest is an outgrowth of the
bitter family quarrel between Mr.. Brooks
and his parents, Prof. and Mrs Andrew b.
Brooks OF Springfield, for the possession OF
his little daughter, Florence. Last week
the child was taken from the custody Of her
grandparents by the decision Of a Chicago
court and given into the keeping OF her
father.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. Il.-Iudge
Creighton bases the contempt charges
against Mr.. Brooks on he ground OF al
legged fraudulent means adopted by him TO
have his mother take Florence Brooks to
Chicago in order that he might get the
child out or the jurisdiction Of the courts
OF Sangamon county. In this way he hoped
to overcome the decision given in the case
involving the custody Of the child by Judge
Creighton two years ago, when he gave her
into her grandparents custody. II is al
legged that James Brooks invited his par
ents to Chicago to spend the holidays with
him, and that on their arrival there the
sheriff OF Cook county served a writ Of
habeas corpus on them to secure posses
sion Of the child.

DOUBT ABOUT OHIO GOVERNOR
Defense In Legal Trial VIII Dispute
Personality of States
Executive.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 11.-Judge Howard OF
Paris, KY, is in Newport as the representa-
tive OF the state auditor, John Sweeney,
who is being sued by the state of Kentucky
to recover 100000 alleged to have been mis-
spent during the recent gubernatorial
squabble at Frankfort when Governor Goe-
bel was assassinated.
The point that the defense is trying to
make is that Taylor and not Goebel was
governor during the time that the illegal
expenditures were made. Judge Howard
seeks here to prove by the records OF the
Campbell county court that Senator T. NJ.
Hill, now deceased who was i'll at the time,
did not qualify until January 81, 1900, and
that prior to that time the legislature did
not have a working quorum to declare Goe-
bel governor. Consequently, he contends,
the acts OF Taylor and his cabinet were
legal and binding until the time that Hill
had qualified, thus creating the quorum
necessary
It is maintained by the defense that there
was really no meeting of the Legislature un-
til the adjournment from London to Frank
fort on February 10, 1900.

all districts, including Tangier. for men
and arms. The general situation is GER
tainly not improving.
A caravan Of mules taking money from
the customs here to the sultan at Fee was

ASSASSIN is MERELY MAD
Man who Fired on King Alfonso
Has No Connection with
Anarchists.

MADRID, Jan. 11.-Feito, the man who
fired at the royal procession yesterday, was
examined today. His bearing during the
questioning confirmed the previous reports
that he is suffering from monomania.
A careful official inquiry has shown that
he is not connected with anarchists.
The king has received host Of royal or
other congratulations on his escape
A dynamite bomb sent here by rail in
box from Barcelona has been found at the
railway station, but all attempts to dis
cover its sender have been fruitless. The
box reached here the day before the funeral
of Senior Sagasta and is supposed to have
been intended for use during the passage
OF the funeral cortege.
When Feito fired, the queen mother and
the infanta were much alarmed. The king
was very cool. however. and inquired If
anyone had been hurt. After being in
formed to the contrary he chatted with
the civilian governor who walked alongside
the royal carriage, giving his majesty the
details OF the outrage.
Upon arriving at the palace the king i'm
medlately repaired to a balcony to watch
the excited populace.
The queen was in the meantime so up
set that physicians had to be called to
attend her.
Feito was confined for nearly a year in
a lunatic asylum at Buenos Ayres and
since he returned to Spain, last June, has
lived chiefly in Madrid, vainly seeking EN-
ployment, often changing his abode and al
ways attracting notice by his reticence
and gloomy aspect. He pestered people in
high positions for protection and wrote to
this end even to King Alfonso and other
sovereigns. He was several times employed
as a servant in aristocratic houses, but
was always dismissed as crazy.
Feito alleges that the Argentine govern
ment robbed him of hundreds OF thousands
Of pounds and imprisoned him when he

be the means OF smoothing over the long

Italy, The difference arose over the failure
OF Emperor Francis Joseph to return the

1t is proposed that the Austrian emperor
come TO Rome simultaneously with the en-
peror OF Germany. AS there would then be
