A CLEVER BOY IN NEBRASKA.
He Thinks His Abilities as a Dyna-
mite Thrower EntitIe Him to Be-
come a Naval officer.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary Bona,
parte wrote a letter Thursday to
an embryo Nebraska inventor which
was designed to interrupt some in-
teresting experiments in throwing
explosives.
John Sweeney, a 11-year- old boy of
Ericsson, Neb., wrote to the secretary
asking for full statement of the re-
quirements for admission to the naval
academy and outlining some expert
ments he is conducting in throwing
dynamite, preparatory to becoming a
useful officer of the navy.
At present the young inventor says
he is able to throw .064 Of an ounce of
dynamite $50 yards with Winchester
rife Of Al calibre, range 800 yards
With large siege gun he says he be-
lieves he could throw 400 pounds OF
dynamite six miles and asks if his
achievements will not assist him in
gaining admission to the Annapolis
academy.
Secretary Bonaparte replied to the
woung man that his experiments were
better adapted to taking him to
cemetery than to the naval academy
and suggested that he abandon them
and adopt some other means of pre-.
pairing himself for naval career.

Herring is ARRESTED.
Cashier of the Stensland Bank in Chi
cago Is Not Allowed to Give Bail.

Chicago, Ill.-Henry w. Herring,
cashier of the Milwaukee Avenue
state bank. which closed its doors four
days ago, was arrested in Chicago
Thursday. He will be refused bail
until his connection with the disap
pearance of nearly $1,0000OO of the
banks funds is cleared up. Paul o.
Stensland, president of the defunct in
stitution, is still a fugitive and, al
though nearly 100 detectives are
searching for the missing president,
his whereabouts is a mystery.
Herring was arrested in the after
noon, two hours later than the time
he had announced for giving himself
up. He was taken at once to the Of
flee of Chief of Police Collins and put
through thorough examination as to
his knowledge of Stensland's alleged
mismanagement of the institution.
Herring declared he did not know
where Stensland was.
Herring strenuously denied any re-
sponsibility for the failure of the
bank. Herring maintained that If he
was guilty of breaking the banking
laws of Illinois, President Stensland
was responsible.

tant development in the business

most sanguine expectations, the few
unsatisfactory statements being out.

New Element In Commerce.

Ramie, species of gigantic nettle
which produces, directly beneath its
outer bark, a fiber that can be woven
alone or in conjunction with either
wool or cotton, and gives to the cloth
into which it is woven a beautiful
silky finish, is being produced in
China at the present time to an extent
that promises to make it an impor-
tant element in the worlds commerce.
Unlike cotton, it Is not an annual
crop; once planted it will produce
for a dozen years. 1t does not ripen
evenly, and as soon as one crop is
pulled the plant goes on producing
again; occasionally, in tropical coun-
tries-and it is only in very warm
climate that it can be grown-one
plant will give four crops in a year.
A good stand of plants will run from
two to three tons of fiber per acre.

a Grand Jury IndiCts the
Standard Oil Co.
ALSO A RAILROAD.
The Vacuum Oil Co., of Rochester,
N. y, Is Also Included in the
Indictments for Rebating.

jamestown, n. Y The federal
grand jury for the Western
district of New York on Friday re-
turned indictments against the Stand
ard Oil Company of New York, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and the
Vacuum Oil Co., of Rochester, for VIC
lations of the Interstate commerce
law.
There are "a counts in each indict-
ment of the Standard Oil Co. and of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and q
smaller number against the Vacuum
Oil Co.
The specific charges allege that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. granted to
the Standard Oil Co. special conces-
sions in the shipments OF freight and
that the Standard Oil Co. did "unlaw-
fully and knowingly accept from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. a conces-
sion in respect to the transportation
of certain of its property in interstate
commerce whereby and by which de-
vice that property was transported in
such commerce at a less rate than
that named in the tariffs so published
and filed by said Pennsylvania Rail
road Co." in violation of the statutes.
The indictments are so specified
that in case those found against one
company are sustained on trial they
necessarily must be sustained against
the other companies. The various
counts pertain to specific cases in
which these special rates were grant
ed and accepted, and embrace
period of time from January /, 1904,
TO December %, 1904.
The Indictment against the Vacuum
oil Co. is on exactly similar grounds
that is charging that special con
cessions were accepted from the
Transatlantic Railroad Co.

English the World Language.

The new world language, Esperanto,
seems to have already won more advo-
Gates than the older Volapuk. No
manufactured language. however,
seems to have much chance in COM
petition with English, which long ago
displaced French as the most useful
and widely spoken language and which
Is gaining faster than ever In all parts
Of the world. Quite recently the Ger
man government has ordered that all
railway officials and employees must
learn to speak English. In Antwerp
also the authorities are urging all
classes to study English and are pro-
viding special facilities in the public
schools; the city has become almost
an English-speaking port" In Japan
all school children are now obliged
to learn our language A few years
hence tourists from this country will
be able to get along there as easily
as on trip at home. With Great
Britain, India, Australia, Canada, the
United States and large sections Of
Africa using English, what hope is
there for any other language?

JAPANESE P0ACHfRS ARE KILLED.
Raid on Seal Rookeres at ST. Paul
Island, Alaska, Ends Disastrously.

Dutch Harbor, Alaska.-Five Japan
ese were shot and killed on
the island of St Paul, of the Pribyloff
group, by order of the agent of the de-
partment of commerce and labor on
July II, as the result of a raid by four
japanese schooners on the seal rook-
cries.
The revenue cutter Mccullough has
reached here from ST. Paul with 12
prisoners, two seriously wounded,
who were turned over to Deputy
Marshal Harmon.
The raiders were discovered lying
near Northeast Point. st. Paul, by
native lookouts Of the North Ameri-
can Commercial Co. which leases the
seal privilege from the government.
Word was telephoped from the patrol
station near the rookery, for which
the raiders were aiming, and Special
Agent Lempke, of the department of
commerce on duty in the Pribyl0ff ISL
ands, arrived on the spot as the Jap
anese reached shore. He ordered the
boats crew to surrender, which they
did.
On climbing the promontory at the
end of the cape, overlooking one CT
the larger rookeres, a schooner was
seen close in shore. Looking straight
down over the cliff. the patrol saw a
dozen or more Japanese skinning a
great number of seal, which had been
slaughtered indiscriminately.
The raiders refused to surrender
when Lempke reached the scene and
tried to make off with their booty in
small boats, several of which were
drawn up on shore. The agent then
ordered his guard of natives to open
fire. The japanese offered no resis-
tance, being without firearms.
Three of the raiders ell dead on the
beach, fourth was seen to be thrown
overheard from one of the boats that
escaped and fifth body drifted
ashore later in another boat.
Washington, d. C.-Acting Secre-
tary of State Bacon has sent to Am
bassador Wright at Toxic the sub
stance of a dispatch received from
Solicitor Sims at Sitka Alaska. re-
garding the killing of Japanese fish
ermen at ST Paul Island In sending
the dispatch the acting secretary
states that it is forwarded for the
purpose of giving information such as
this government has of a regretable
incident, news of which may reach
Japan in distorted form. There is no
intention of offering an apology.
Seals are regarded as property by
international law and the Japanese
killed by American officials on st.

Order Issued by Treas
ury Department.
CAME AS SURPRISE
For the First Time in IS Years the
Government Will Buy White
Metal for Coinage.

Washington, d. C.-For the first
time in Is years the government an
nounced Thursday its purpose to pur-
chase silver for coinage purposes.
Tenders are invited at the Office of
the director of the mint in this city on
the 18th inst. up to l o'clock D. m.
and every Wednesday thereafter until
further notice. These tenders are to
be for delivery at the Philadelphia,
New Orleans or Denver mints, settle
ment to be on the New York basis of
bullion guaranteed 999 fine. The
treasury reserves the right TO reject
all tenders or accept such part of any
tender as may suit its convenience.
1t is understood that, anticipating
that its temperance as q purchaser
might temporarily disturb the market
unduly, the treasury has obtained con
troll of considerable amounts for flu
ture delivery, so that it is in position
to drop out of the market for several
months if desirable. The average re
quirements of the treasury through
out the year will probably not exceed
100000 ounces per week.
From the resumption of specie pay
mentS IN 1879 down TO the year l9OO
the constant increase in the stock of
subsidiary coin required by the grow
ing population and trade of the coun-
try was supplied by the recoinage of
old and uncurrent subsidiary coins
which accumulated in the treasury
under the resumption act. In 1900, as
this stock was running low, authority
was granted in the monetary act of
March If to thS secretary of the
treasury to divert bullion. purchased
under the act of July IA, 1890, for the
coinage of silver dollars, to the coin
age Of subsidiary pieces. Under this
authority about S33 100000 has been
cCined since 1860.
The stock of bullion in the treasury
vas exhausted more than a year ago
and since then no bullion has been
available for the subsidiary use.

BANK TELLER KILLED HIMSELF.
An EmpIoye of the Stensland Bank In
Chicago Suicides.

Chicago, III. - Frank Kowalski,
Tor five years paying teller OF
the Milwaukee Avenue state bank,
which failed last Monday, shot and
killed himself last night in his home,
S4O North Carpenter street. Criticism
by neighbors and friends, who accus-
ed him of a share in the downfall Of
the bank, is believed to have driven
Kowalski to suicide.
Kowalsld's relatives assert their be-
lief that he was innocent of any knowl-
edge as to the mismanagement of the
bank by President Stensland. When
the bank failed Kowalski had S70O of
his own money on deposit in the in
stitution and his immediate relatives
had in the bank nearly $4,000.

FOR RECEIVING REBATES
The Standard Oil Co. Is Indicted by
a Grand Jury at Chicago.

Chicago, lll.-An indictment charg-
ing the Standard Oil Co with
receiving rebates in the form CT non
payment of storage charges to certain
railroad companies, was returned
Wednesday by the federal grand jury
before Judge Bethea. The Indictment
came as a surprise, inasmuch as the
grand jury has just begun the investi-
cation. The Standard Oil Co. is the
only defendant no officials of the
company and no railroad companies
or officials being named. The bond of
the defendant was fixed by Judge
Bethea at $4,000.
This is the case investigated by the
grand jury in Cleveland, where it was
found that the grand jury had no
jurisdiction. The testimony taken
there was transferred to Chicago and
the documents in evidence were iden-
titled by witnesses who testified in
Cleveland. 1t was on this testimony
and evidence that the indictment was
returned so quickly. The. grand jury
Immediately resumed its session, to
take up the investigation of the
charge that the Standard Oil Co. was
given direct rebates by some railroad.
The Indictment contains 19 counts,
each count constituting separate
b charge. The true bills come under
the Elkins law, which provides a fine
of from ST. 600 to $4,000 for each vio-
lation. Under this indictment should
the government procure a conviction
on the trial of the issues, fine of
$3.50, 600 as maximum under the
Elkins law may be assessed.
The Indictment alleges that by a sys-
tenn of granting the Standard Oil Co.
certain concessions, the oil company
benefited to the extent of $S,506 dur
ing a period of time from August,
1903, to February, 1905.
The indictment, as explained by the
governments attorneys, means that in
19 instances certain consignments of
oil for the Standard Oil Co. were
stored by the Lake Shore e Michigan
Southern Railroad Co. and that the
railroad company received no pay
ment of five cents per ton per day
rom the oil company for such storage,
out that its competitors were com
PEELED to pay this amount. This is
equivalent to granting a concession, it
is charged, the non-payment of the
storage charges being practically
rebate in favor of the oil company
Each count sets up discrimination
of from $500 to $500 month In favor
of the oil company. 1t will be neces-
sary for officials of the Standard Oil
Co to appear in court and present
bond of $4,000 for the corporation
