And Led to the Capture of a Thief
Whose Specially Was Clocks.
Speaking of curious things, one Of
the strangest experiences / ever had,
and I have had great many" said
the old policeman. was brought about
some years ago by the arrest of no.
torious clock thief. The fellow had a
perfect mania for stealing clocks, and
when his place was searched we found
about the strangest collection Of time
pieces you ever laid your eyes on.
The fellow made complete con-
fession and stated that he had never
stolen anything but clocks, and had no
desire to pilfer any other article. Wat
ches of the very finest and costliest
kind, jewelry, diamonds of all sorts
and sizes, he had passed by frequently
in order to lay his hands on a two doll
lar clock. But was about to tell you
how I made the capture for this is the
most interesting part Of the story from
my way of looking at it. I had a very
dull night of it, and was getting sleepy

collection of clocks numerous enough

THE MISSION OF THE PEssIMIsT.

THE MISSION OF THE PESSIMIST.
Editor of the Journal and Courier:
In the recent number of the Journal
the circular letter issued by the Car
negie Steel company was referred to
and your comments thereon noted with
interest. The age limit being determine
ed as thirty-five years in certain de-
partments and forty in others certainly
presents discouraging conditions for a
large number OF the most expert steel
workers.
In the above is the apparent chal-
lenge, if another '.crumb of comfort
may be discovered in this untoward sit
uation, let us have it.
In reference to the disposition Mr..
Carnegie is making Of a portion of his
millions we are impelled to suggest that
he apply a goodly sum to the relief of
the workmen so ruthlessly shut off
from employment before planting IL
braries SO lavishly throughout the land
N The latter act may in the end, how
ever, prove the best boon for the peo-
pie, should the rising generation thus
become so enlightened that the gross
injustice Of all discrimination against
citizens of any race, sex or age, quali-
hcaItion being equal cannot longer be
Tolerated. Mr.. Carnegie thus I'M
tingly invites judgment upon himself.
This sentiment thus aroused against
the wicked ways employed for his glory
and enrichment will but stimulate the
love for Justice and liberty. Her torch
enlightening the world will then be
a true symbol Of our Individual ana ma
tional life.
Were 1t not that the right of fran
chise is regarded as sacred and inaIien-
able doubtless this also would be Wrest-
ed from our elders, which is indeed but
= the next step to attempt to control their
ballots for the benefit of the would-be
1nonarchs in our land of the free
Every lover OF right and humanity
should contribute their earnest words
through the press, in private or pub
4 lie assembly against these stupendous
wrongs. The pessimist and optimist
alike have an exalted mission. They
may SO agitate and purify the waters
of this vast pool of iniquity that its
creators may eventually wash therein
and become every whit clean.

Driving Club win have matinee race
for local horses at the Elm city park
commencing at an early hour this af-
ternoon. The horses are to be called

As several local horses are to start in
their respective classes the races win
afford horsemen and others an oppor-
tunity to seel the speed and style of the
trotters and PAGERS without cost to the
spectators. The race attraction Illus
trates the liberality Of the management
who give the races without any charge
for admission. Several hundred seats
have been provided, and these are free
to the public. At nearly all race tracks
the score cards that have the names,
color and owners of the houses are sold
for ten cents. but are presented free to
applicants at the local track.
During this season silver cups have
been awarded for the free-for-all races
and are highly priced by the winners.
Pearl P. Sperry of Westville, who cap
tured one OF the silver trophies with
his good trotter, Echo Bell, 2:25 IA, is
much pleased with his prize. The at
tendance at the last matinee of the club
was estimated to be about 1000. which
is a sure indication that the races
could be made very profitable.

THE WIRELESS IN FORESTS
FIRES

Among the guests registered at the
Tier Grand yesterday was Richard F..
Follett, vice president Of the Forestry,
Fishing and Game association of
America. Mr. Follett is on his way to
Portland, and expects to investigate
conditions In Oregon, washington, and
Montana regarding the fishing and
game interest. He expects to stop in
Omaha upon his return, when he will
be ready to report the result of his in
Yestigations.
One feature of the work in which he
is interested at this time is the forest
fires now prevailing in the West. He
said one of the problems which have
absorbed the attention Of the associa-
ton is these fires.
'The association and Government
have worked in harmony to devise
means which win lead to a reduction Of
the CONGREGATIONS which are yearly not
only reducing vast tracts Of timber,
but destroying game and its natural
haunts. Many schemes have been I'M
der consideration from time to time,
hut they have been abandoned for one
reason or another as unfeasible. The
plan Of system Of wireless biography
is one of several now under considera-
ton, and it is intened to put a few ex-
perimental stations importation to test
them, The idea Of these station is to
give warning Of these fires and enable
them to be located when they are in
their incipiericy. The news of the fire
would be transmitted by system OF
| signals produced as a result of the
heat. The idea Is by no means im-
practicable, and It is not so expensive
to establish as may appear upon the
surface. The cost Of maintenance il
are once in place, while the saving tc
/ property would more than justify the
expense if after a thorough trial it il
found feasible.
THE loss OF the timber Is ont onl,
1.-The loss to mankind through fores
Hires. Game and fish are destroyed ant
driven away, and we know the effec
that is produced through the unequa
distribution of moisture. Other evi
effects also play d part through TIL,

i Mr.. Follett was asked IL there is an.
! movement on foot with regard to TIL,
Istockirg Of Eastern streams with sal.

I'VE are doing this continually. WI
have been very successful in stocking
Eastern waters with the rainbow trout
land we have had some success will
the steel heads, a variety of salmon
which really belongs to the trou
family. We are bringing over Euro
lpean fish and sending American fisl
abroad. Under the present methods o
taking care of spawn we have no diff
Eculty in this line. One of the recen
features of the work is the introduction
OF fish from Oriental stream. Some o
these fish have not turned out yer,
we'll owing to climatic conditions, anC
in some instances, as in the case o
carp, they have turned out too well
The latter effect has been due to tn
