mitted and he is more than ever con-
WINGED in that locality the murderer will
be arrested
Detective Mitchell made a minute in
specton of the grounds near the scene of
the crime Saturday morning and talked
with a number of the residents of that
vicinity. On the place where the body
of the unfortunate victim was found, a
young man discovered a gold waist pin.
with Il turquoise setting, which evidently
had been one of a set worn by the woman.
THIS was turned over to the police. The
much sought razor knife with which
the victim was cut was not found.
The police, however, are now in posses
sion of a clue which, though it may not
result in anything tangible being learned
of the identity of the murderer, is of suf1i-
Clent Importance TO be kept from the press
for the present
Chief Donahue bases his belief that the
murderer is acquainted with the neighbor-
hood in which the crime was committed
and the fact that another crime of the
street, in the tmme date neighborhood, on
the night of August 4, at 1850 o'clock
near the hour the murder was committed
The victim OF the assault on the night Of
August was Miss Margaret McCheane, III

VERY GOOD, VERY
BAD SAYS BRYAN
Comments Freely on Presidents
Message-Says Roosevelt Ap-
propriates Democrats Views

LINCOLN, NEB.. December Com
mentinE on President Rooss-elts mes
sage. w. ]. Bryan said there was much
that good and much that was bad IN d,
but Il may be regarded as the President $
most important paper. Mr. Bryan says.
The message contains much t,sat Is
Democratic. and for which the general
public may well thank him. II contains
some things that ought to arouse severe
criticism. The President boldly appro-
PIRATES some OF the doctrines which the
Democrats have been advocating. and.
on the other hand, he announces some
doctrines which are so absurd os 10
excite amusement II the suggestions
came from g less prominent source. II
somo cases he takes advanced ground;
IN some cases he retreats from ground
already taken"
Mr.. Bryan complains that what the
President says on government by In
junction will not be satisfactory 20 the
laborfng men or to those who respect
the right Of trial by jury. The Presi-
dents stand on child labor. the eight-hour
law and the right Of the people 70 criu-

Japanese Question.
On President Roosevelt's reference to
the japanese question. MI Bryan says.
He pays a deserved tribute 10 the
progress OF the japanese nation. and
Congress 10 protect the treaty rights OF
foreigners. That there should be such
legislation cannot be generally disputed,
but great deal depends upon the char
acter OF the legislation. II any bills are
presented IN regard 10 this suggestion,
they must be carefully scrutnlzed lest
they deny 20 the States the right 20 pro-
tect themselves and their people IN mat
tiers purely LOCAL"
Finally Mr.. Bryan 'deplores what he
calls the Presidents warlike attitude. He
says: There viii be general disappOint-
ment at the warlike tone OF his message
where he discusses the army and the
navy. He speaks OF the navy as the surest
guarantor Of peace which this country
possesses. Shame upon the CHIEF Exc
cutive that he should place an instrument
OF brute force above the nations sense OF
Justice as a e7Iarantor Of peace. The best
guarantor Of peace is our nations prin-
ciple to deal Justly with other nations.
War ought 20 pa q last resort, not n

10 have few professional soldiers. Il is
not necessary that the whole nation shall

Unlike the average American who
grows wealthy, Don Pedro does not care
for personal attendants He shaves
himself, cuts his own hair, blacks mis-
own shoes. and does a part of his own
cooking. After his wife died he for
long time dressed his three children
himself. Nor is he as circumspect in his
spending of money as many American
capitalists. If he takes a fancy to
something he will buy of it a dozen
times as much as he needs. A year ago
he met an American sewing machine
agent. who SO interested him in his par
ticUlar machine that Don Pedro bought
fifty Of them and put one in each room
in his house. Another great source of
enjoyment for this peculiar man is to
give work to the poor. If a beggar asks
him for aims he will shake his head.
