Three Boys who Have Murdered
Nine Men Within Three Months.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Chained wrist to
wrist. their Lands matted with dried
blood, their clothing covered with
dust and dirt, two beardless boys,
Peter Neidermier and Harvey Van
Dine, sat tonight in the presence of
Mayor Harrison and Chief Of Police
O'Neal calmly confessing to their
share in a three months career of
crime which has included nine MUIR

One man was killed another fatally

bandits were wounded but not serious
ly.
Neidermier was wounded in the hand
by birdshot; Van Dine was similarly
injured and sustained in addition a
flesh wound in the left thigh. Roeskie
was shot in the right hip.
The three men were wanted by the
police for completely in the murders

Railway company on Aug. 80, when
two mon were killed, a third badly
wounded and 81, $50 stolen. Gustave
Marx, who last Saturday night MUIR

policeman endeavored to place him
under arrest, confessed after his cap
ture that he, in company with the
three rlen, had committed the crimes
at the car barns. The hunt for Van
Dine, Neidermier and Roeskie has
been hot ever since.
Although they knew the entire
poIice force was looking for them the
three men remained in the city until
Wednesday morning. "We were LAY
ling for fellow that was witness
tSagainst Marx" said Van Dine. On
Wednesday they left Chicago, going
to dugout made near Miilers Station,

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 25, 1903.
My Dear Mr.. McKelway: I have
wanted for a long time to say some
thing which I think should be said to
you before others.
You can never know how grateful I
am for the manifestation Of kindly
feeling toward me on the part Of my
countrymen which your initiative has
brought out. Your advocacy in The
Eagle of my nomination for the presi-
dency, came to me as great surprise
and it has been seconded in such man.
ner by Democratic sentiment that con.
hicting thoughts of gratitude and duty
have caused me to hesitate as to the
time and manner Of declaration on
my part concerning the subject-lf
such declaration should seem necessary
or proper.
In the midst of it all and in full
view Of every consideration presented,
I have not for a moment been able
nor am I now able, to open my mind
to the thought that in any clrcum.
stances or upon any consideration |
should ever become the nominee of
my party for the presidency.
Ny determination not to do so IS
unalterable and conclusive.
This you at least ought to know from
me, and [ should be glad if The Eagle
were made the medium Of its convey
ance to the public.
Very sincerely yours,
Grover Cleveland.

The London Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The London Gazette is the oldest and
least read of any newspaper. 1t is at
once the biggest and the least of all
our papers, for 1t is the only paper in
the land which changes it's size from
one page to a hundred, according to
the pressure of news. 1t is the only
newspaper whose word is law and
whose authority is accepted in the
witness box. 1t can make and I'M
make bankrupts. 1t is the only paper
in which certain persons are compelled
to advertise and in which certain 9TH
er persons cannot advertise for love or
money. 1t yields a profit of 100000 a
year.
The London Gazette has become reg
ularized as part of the British Con-
stitution now but time was when the
editorship of the Gazette was one of
the spells of Office, worth $500 a year.
1t was the recognized reward of party
services in the press. The government
is more economical to-day in it's
journalism. Under the old regime the
Gazette had, besides its editor a staff
of five clerks appointed by the treas
ury; but in 1889 the treasury remodelled
the management of the paper found,
the. staff employment elsewhere, and
left the whole responsibility of the Ga
zette on it's present publishers, Messrs.
Harrison s, Sons of St. Martins lane.
The printing of the paper has been
in the Harrison family for practically
1870 years.
Absolute secrecy as to the contents
of any forthcoming Gazette prevails at
st. Martins lane, and, though there
are a thousand workers in Messrs.
Harrisons' offices, no item of news has
ever leaked out before its time. Every
sheet of copy" is private and conf
Dental until it appears for all the
world to see. The copy for the Ga
zette is written in the government Of
fees, often by cabinet ministers them
selves, and is invariably returned with
the proofs. Each secretary initials his
copy-Lord Salisbury signing his with
the letter IS" in red ink-and in cases
of promotion in the services no para
graph is accepted even in proof with
out being initiated a second time Now
and then-on very rare occasions-a
piece of copy" is received auto
graphed by the sovereign.
