JOHANN HOCH
Tells How He ACCumu-
lated So Many
Wives.
DONE BY ADVERTISING

New York, Feb. 6.-Johann Angus
tus Hoch, the Chicagoan who is charg-
ed with bigamy and suspected of hav-
ing murdered one or more of his
wives, gave the police an inkling today
of how he managed to run up the al
legged total of 80 better halves.
After being arraigned in the Jeffer-
son Market police court and remanded
pending the arrival of extradition pa
pers, he told how ne had advertised in
a German paper for a life companion.
The "ad" ran thus:
German, as, would like to cores
pond with young German woman; ex-
cellent reference; object matrimony."
"All got vas twelf hundert an
swers" said Hoch.
While looking through Hoch's bag
gage this afternoon. preparatory to
sending it to Chicago. the detectives
found fountain pen, Sne Ink barrel
OF which was filled with whitish
powder. The substance has not yet
been analyzed, but was sealed in a
bottle and turned over to Detective
Lotus, Of Chicago. The police be-
lieve that the powder is some poison
and may play an important part in
the impending trial.
Two more women were found in the
course of the day who owned up to
being married to Hoch. One is a Mrs.
Westphal, of Jersey City, and the
name of the other was not made pub
lie. The police allege that Hoch swim
died Mrs. Westphal out of $500 and
the other woman out of 5000.

and II were wounded. Then the regi-
ment broke through the ranks of the
rioters, encircled 1000 of them and
marched them back to the barracks.
The rest of the mutineers were per-
mitted to remain at liberty until more
troops could be brought to the scene.
This time cavalry was sent out, for
the mutineers had spread into various
districts and had to be rounded up
A running fight developed, lasting
for over an hour, during which the cit
izens were in state Of panic and
harmless passers-by, who were trying
to gain places of safety, were ridden
down by the Cossacks.
Many of the reservists were killed
and large number injured, but owing
to the large area over which the bat
tic extended the exact number of the
reservists was cornered and the Co.'S
sacks drove them before them to the
barracks. There the order was given
that as many as could be gotten into
waiting train should be shipped off
to Manchurla. Hemmed in by troops
on all sides, looking into rife barrels
wherever they turned, the men were
herded together and hurried to the
depot where they were packed into
the train.
The dispatch adds that all the 9TH
ers who participated in the mutiny
will also be sent to the far east in
side of twenty-four hours.

RESERVSTS DRIVEN LIKE CATTLE
Armed Guards Placed at Every Car Ready to Shoot
Any Man Who Attempted TO Escape. Three
Thousand Rioters
MANY WERE SHOT DOWN BY THE COSSACKS

Vienna, Feb. 7.-One thousand mu-
tinous reservists we're on Monday driv-
en- like cattle to a train, ready to
start for Manchuria from Volkovisk
government Grodno, Russian Poland,
according to a dispatch received here
from that town. On both sides of the
train stood soldiers, ready to shoot
any man who made an attempt to es-
cape. Guards, armed to the teeth were
placed in every car and the train,
which was not scheduled to start for
several hours, was sent away so soon
as it could be gotten out of the de-
pot
The deportation of the men was the
elimination OF the most serious mu-
tiny of reservists, which has yet oc-
CURED in Russian Poland. Toward
noon, Monday, 1900 of the reservists
broke down the barracks doors and
forming into line, marched hooting
and singing through the streets. All
spirit stores on the way were wrecked.
The barrels were smashed and what
the men could not drink was spilled
in the cutters.
The drunken horde then made its
way to the residential district of the
town. A regiment of infantry was
quickly called out and sent to inter
cept the rioters. Without stopping to
parley the commanding officer gave
the order to fire and as a result Of the
first volley two Teservists fell dead

POPLAR Gets Attention.

The northern poplar of the north
eastern states is coming in for increasing
study by the forester and lumberman. Not
so very long ago the wood OF the popple
was used for excelsior. Some two or
three years ago the pulp manufactures
added II to the list of species of supply
ing his mill, and 1t is now generally and
increasingly used for paper pulp of GER
tain grades throughout the northeastern
states. II is a rapid growing tree, with a
pronounced tendency to extend itself on
old fields, so that a considerable area OF
unwooded land, eut-over lands and burned
areas are coming up to a growth of pop
pie which will figure Importantly in the
numbering problems OF the regions in which
ii occurs.
The forest service has received large
number OF applications for advice relative
to the management OF forest lands con-
tanning stands of popple. and in conse-
quence is making a detailed commercial
study of the several species, with special
attention TO the reproduction, growth rate.
market value and quality for pulp and
excelsior use of each. In addition, the
study will keep in view possible fresh uses
for the popple and ways of preventing the
injury Of popple stands from fire.

SILENCE OF THE UPPER AIR
AwesOme Features of Balloon
Voyage Three Miles Above the
Earth.

The recent balloon voyage of two Eng
lishmen in the Vivienne Ill, when they
won a race In the air from Liege, Bel
GUM, was one of the highest on record
the altitude maintained being three miles
1T was dry when we started" said one
OF the aeronauts, Stanley Spencer but
when we had reached a height Of 5000 feet
rain began to fall heavily sounding like
the rattle Of bullets on the case of the
balloon. At 1900 feet however, we got
above the clouds and out Of the rain.
Here the velocity OF the wind was much
greater, and we found that the higher we
assembled the greater was the wind force,
until at our highest point-three miles,
which was reached after the sacrifice Of
a great deal OF ballast-it was blowing
nearly atty miles an hour.
1.-The effect OF tine clouds below us as
we assembled in the brilliant sunshine was
marvellous. They stretched away as far
as the eye could see, striking panorama
Of snow-white pillows. Far above us,
again. was another stratum Of clouds, OF
soft fieecy appearance"
The coolest part of the ascent was when
they we're passing through the masses of
clouds, but as they got higher into the
direct rays of the bright sunshine it be-
came mucn WARMER 50 that tney were
again able to throw on their fur coats.
AS the balloon passed from one herceIy
blowing current Of wind into the oppo-
site, the shock was such that the balloon
swayed violently, and 1t seemed as though
the car must be overturned
las we were rushing along the silence
was intense" continued Mr.. Spencer "but
as we passed over the ironworks districts
OF Belgium and Germany we could dis
tinctly hear the peculiar roar Of the blast
furnaces and the changing OF the steam
hammers, although we were three miles
above them
For the first time in the history OF
ballooning we were able to enjoy hot food
and drinks on this trip. We took up with
us tins OF prepared eoffee, soups and
meats, which by a chemical preparation
in tins can be heated simply by admitting
the air through holes made in the outel
| case. "--London Express.

OUR LETTER BOX,
FIover Show 4. Cominu,


OMAHA, Oct 14-To the Editor of The
Bee: Your editorial in this evenings Bee,
suggesting the praoticability of holding
flower show in the Auditorium this fall is
in line with steps that have already been
taken by the Auditorium management but
I regret to say that 1t will be impossible
to give a flower show, worthy Of the name
or the reputation Of Omaha, this fall. In
order to give successful flower show II
is necessary for the florists who intend
to exhibit to have at least eight or ten
months notice of the event. so that they
may grow the plants they wish to exhibit
and make special preparations About two
months ago President Nash and myself
took this matter up and l consulted with
the florists of Omaha and Council Bluffs
and found the situation as l have stated.
Plants cannot be carried from one exhibit
ton to another, like horses, for they lose
their freshness and vitality to some extent,
and exhibitors want to show their plants
in the best possible condition. I made a
trip to Kansas City several weeks ago
to consult with the manager of the flower
show down there and I found that it
would be impossible to induce foreign for
lists. even, to exhibit in Omaha without
giving them several months notice so that
they could make special preparations for
the event.
Your editorial is timely. however and all
right, for l found that the local florists
will be willing to fall in line for next year
and by issuing a preliminary announce
ment soon after the LIST of January next
everything can be put in shape for the
finest and greatest flower show in the Au-
ditorIum next fall ever seen in the west
