ly violated is positive, direct and easi-
ly procurable. This section says:
'.'It shall be unlawful and misde-
meanor for any corporation
to give or contribute money, prop
erty, transportation, help or assist
ance in any manner or form to any
political party or to any candidate for
any civil Office or to any political or
ganization or committee or to any
individual to be used or expended or
political purposes"
The succeeding sections provide a
fine of $1,000 for the first offense and
a fine of $4,000 and forfeiture of char
ter for subsequent offenses.
The Merrick county delegation
came to Lincoln by way of the
Union Pacific because it had free
transportation over that road. The
delegation went 100 miles out of it's
way and subjected itself to a lay-over
of five hours at Valley. The Union
Pacific at Central City charges full
distance tariff to Lincoln, and if the
delegation was buying tickets it
would have come the cheaper and
more direct route, the Burlington.
The Burlington refused at Hastings
and Tecumseh to sell round trip ex-
cursion tickets, but part of the mem
bers of the Adams county delegation
and all of those from Johnson rode
on these tickets, furnished in one in
stance by G.. III. Dietrich and in the
other by Judge Davidson. Mr.. DAY.
idson is local attorney for the Bur-
lington, and nobody believes the tick
cts he presented to members OF the
johnson county delegation cost him
any money. II the Burlington did
sell to him these tickets, which 1t had
refused to others, it violated the law,
as will readily be observed.
Mr.. Brown is very busy man just
now, we are well aware, but The
News trusts that he will see the wis
dom and necessity of taking instant
action by the county attorneys, but
it is doubtless idle to hope that any
of them in the counties affected have
the nerve to tackle the all-powerful
railroads. Mr.. Brown has demon
strated that he has the courage, and
he will please the people If he will
first call attention of the county at
torneys to the offenses committed
within their jurisdictions, and if they
do not act, inaugurate proceedings
himself.

COLORADO JAGUAR HUNT.
Escaping Wild Beast Creates Terror
on Train.

Colorado Springs, Colo. July IT.
More than 1000 people and four pas
seneer trains were held at tunnel No.
4 two miles west of Manitou, last night
by fierce South American jaguar. Be
fore he was captured the animal
clawed Joseph Bennett of this city.
cutting severe cash across the right
leg. Miss Delmore, passenger on one
of the trains, became frightened and In
endeayoring to scale high cliff fell
n distance of twenty feet, breaking her
left leg.
The jaguar and polar bear occu-
pied two compartments in large
cage that was loaded upon fiat car
of the train belonging to the Gaskill
shows. This particular cage was too
high to enter the mouth of the tunnel
and as the cage struck the roof OF the
pletely around, and the roof torn on.
John Blakely, the keeper, threw on
the air brakes, stopping the tram.
Then, to keep the jaguar and bear from
escaping from the cage, he threw rocks
at the bear and fired blank cartridges
at the jaguar AS soon as Blakely
ceased firing the jaguar made a jump
for liberty. He crawled under the nat
car and, during the efforts Of the circus
men to drive the animal into another
cage, Bennett received his injuries.
The animal was finally driven into
small cage. but before the door could
be closed the train started and the
jaguar again leaped for liberty. He
dashed through the tunnel. but upon
emerging at the east end found him
self In narrow cut After some EFFORT
the animal was again captured and
placed in his cage.

.CzAR NAMES WITTE
LIBERAL WILL HEAD MISSION
Succeeds Murayief', Who Advocated
war-AppoIntment Will Make
for Peace,

st. Petersburg, July 13.-Emperor
Nicholas has signed the appointment
Of M. Witte, president Of the commit
tee of ministers, to be chief plenipo-
tentiary representing the Russian gov
ernment In The peace negotiations to
be conducted next month In the United
States. The appointment clothes NJ.
Witte with plenary powers.
Official notification OF the designa-
ton OF M. Witte to head the mission
was forwarded to Washington this
morning. M. Witte will take passage
on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, which sails from Cherbourg
July 26th.
1t has been intimated that Japan
formally objected to certain utterances
attributed to M. Muravieff rejecting
upon the Japanese nation, but inquir.
les made here have failed to obtain any
confirmation Of the rumor.
The remarks credited to Japan are
attributed to the time when Muravieff
was president of the arbitration tribu'
nal at The Hague. which decided
against Venezuela the claims Of the
blockading powers for preferential
treatment.
After the delivery Of the decision NJ.
Muravieff reviewed the decision and
said the arbitration. begun in times Of
peace. had ended amid the sinister
acts of war, which was terrible OBJ
stacle in the path of light and progress.
In spite of all good will. no one was Sc.
cure against an unexpected hostile at
tack. A nation was obliged to accept
a war when the legitimate defense OF
honor and liberty was involved. The
Just Providence which ruled over bat
ties would distinguish between right
and unfounded protestations. At the
end of this war between an European
and an Asiatic people the right would
shine out afresh.
the Japanese minister at The Hague
asked his government for instruction
in regard to NJ. Muravieff's speech, but
the outcome of this step has never
been made known.
The peace party is overjoyed at the
fact that the negotiations have been
placed in NJ. Whites hands. 1t Is the
firm belief that this not only insures a
successful termination of the negotia-
tions, but that NJ. Witte will secure the
best possible terms for his country.
Some OF the grand dukes and courtiers
of the Emperor's encourage, however.
are reported TO be furious at NJ. Witte's
selection.

perate feud battle. near Lee City, on

In Union 10 Strength.

"A man is but q cluster on the great
human grapevine. He begins to dry
up the moment he is cut of from his
fellows. There Is something in the
solidarity Of the human race which
cannot be accounted for In the sum to-
tai of all the individuals. Separation
from the mass involves a mighty loss
of power In the individual. Just as
there is q loss of cohesion and adhe-
sion involved in the separation OF the
molecules and atoms Of the diamond.
The value of the gem is in the close
contact, the compactness. and the con-
centration OF the particles which COM
pose 1t. The moment they are sepa-
rated its value is gone. So strong
effective man gets large part OF his
strength from the vital connection
with his fellows.-Success Magazine.

Church and State.

A Few days ago the French Chamber
of Deputies passed bill which prac-
tically effects separation of church
and state. The situation is thus ex.
planned by the Brooklyn Eagle:
1.-The bill abolishes the concordat or
agreement with Rome, into which Ma
poleon and Plus VII. entered in 1901,
and withdraws from the Catholic
Church. and from other religious de-
nominations. the annual contributions
made to their support by the state
treasury. In 1904 these contributions
included 40,681 1903 francs for Catholic
worship, 1877 800 francs for Protestant
worship, and 1GO,50O francs for Jewish
worship. The republic says the text
of the new bill. assures liberty of con-
science and guarantees the free exer-
else of religion, subject to the restric-
tions of public order. The republic
neither recognizes, pays stipend to nor
subsidies any sect, but provides
funds for college, hospital and asylum
chaplains. Otherwise the public wor-
ship budget Is abolished and public es-
Establishments connected with religion
are suppressed.

and a recognized authority in financial
matters, the life of George E. Ross

such measures as he possessed
For twenty years he was David H.
Moffat's right hand man. He was
identified not only with the First Ma
tional Bank but with all the other
financial enterprises in which Mr.. Mof-
fat was Interested. He was secretary
and treasurer of the Denver City
Tramway Company, vice president and
one of the directors of the Bimetallic
Bank of Cripple Creek and vice presi-
dent of the Bank of Victor. In add.
ton, he was connected with the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek railway. the Vic
tor Gold Mining Company, the Metal
lie Extraction Company and the Ana
conda Mining Company.
But years of constant application
began to tell upon him. In 1892 his
health became so undermined that he
was obliged to tender his resignation
as vice president of the First National
Bank and seek relief in the therapeu-
tic springs of Germany. He partially
recovered, and about two years ago re-
turned to Denver and assisted in or
ganizing the State Investment Com
pany, associating with himself in this
enterprise Henry A. Mcintyre. He did
not spend much of his time in Denver,
however. travelling about mostly for
the benefit of his health.
