Burkett liz sarcastIc.

Senator Burkett grew a little sarcastic
in letter to the pension bureau today upon
being notified that a pension was not al
lowed. In reply he said: You state in
your letter that the pension cannot be al
lowed for the reason that in her statement
the widow said that the soldier died on
July g. 1906. while the certificate from the
| board of health recites that he died on
July 4. 1906. l presume this may be a very
serious affair to the department as to
whether It was the Sd or the 4th OF July
| that this soldier died, but this poor OLD
widow is probably more directly affected by
the real fact that her husband and sup
porter is dead"

KENNEDY SEEKS CHANGE IN PLANS

prom a stan CorresnnndontN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s-(SpeciaI Teie-
m)-There is considerable kicking
among the members Of the Nebraska dele
cation, particularly among those who live
on the Missouri river. that the committee
on river and harbors Of the house should
give $4,000 for snasging and clearing Of
the channel from the mouth Of the Mis-
souri, to Kansas City, while only 100000 Is
set aside In the river and harbors ap-
preparation bill. which will probably be re-
ported tomorrow, for similar purposes from
Kansas City to Sioux City. Today Con-
gresham Kennedy had a heart-to-heart
talk with Chairman Burton. and sought by
argument and even percussion to have the
amount raised from 10000 TO $4,000 at
least. for Use on the Missouri river from
Kansas City north The committee, and
that means Chairman Burton, said in reply
that there was some shipping on the Mis-
souri, toward its mouth, but none from
Kansas City to Sioux City; that when
boats were running between Missouri and
Nebraska and Iowa points there would be
little difficulty in securing an appropria-
ton for permanent Improvements. Mr.,
that the work OF clearing the channel
Kennedy was also told by the committee
should begin at the mouth and work up
which accounts for the additional amount
appropriated for the lower stretch.
Mccarthy Meets Opposition.
Representative Mccarthy grew indignant
today when Representative Mann of IL

Watchdog of the Treasury" objected to
the consideration of bills relating to claims

with Representative Bonynge of Colorado,
proceeded to object to the constellation
OF every bill. For a time II looked as IL
nothing could get through. Reprisal on the
part of Mccarthy and Bonynge, however,
brought results, as Congressman Mann let
up on his attacks and fifty bills were
passed, although the measures in which
Mr.. Mccarthy was interested met the fate
of objections and went over

OIL REFINERY IS BURNED
PLANT OF sTERLlNc COMPANY
AT MARIETTA, lo!, DESTROYED.
Conflagration Lasts for Seven Hours
Water Pumps Out of Order,
Steam Used.

Marietta, o., Sept. 25.--The plant Of
the Sterling Oil Refinery was prac-
tically destroyed by fire Tuesday, re-
sulting in a loss of many thousand
dollars. The confiagration lasted for
seven hours and literally burned itself
out.
The water pumps were out of order
but several lines of steam were played
into the fire and by strenuous efforts
ten tanks Of crude oil on hill above
the works were saved as the wind was
blowing in the opposite direction. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it
is supposed to have originated in a
retort in which bones used in clarity
ing oil are reduced to char. over 200
barrels of machine oil and IA tanks of
refined oil and much finished product
was destroyed. The officials of the
company refuse to give the amount of
loss.
The Sterling company is one of the
independents mentioned in the list as
making agreements to sell the entire
product to the Standard Oil company
in exchange for crude oil. The plant
was modern and well equipped.

PRISONER GETS AWAY
BLOOMFIELD BOY ENRoUTE TO
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL JUMPS
FROM TRAIN.

Sheriff ]. A. Wilkinson, of Bloom
field, Davis county, was in the city yes
terday in charge of youthful prison
sr being taken to the Industrial school
at Eldora on a charge of breaking and
entering and robbery. The sheriff
started north on the Iowa Central at
three O'Clock The boy escaped from
the train between Searsboro and Grin
nell while moving at the rate of forty
miles an hour.
The boy asked permission to go to
the closet shortly after the train left
Searsboro. The sheriff made no OBJ
lection, as the train was in rapid mo-
ton and he did not suppose any one
would attempt to get of. He became
uneasy at the length of time the boy
remained in the closet and proceeded
to investigate He opened the door to
ind no boy there, but an open window
told of the manner of escape The
news soon spread among the officials
and the men on the train, and the
sheriff was planning to leave the train
to go back, expecting to pick up the
boy manned or dead at the side of the
track. But the boy was still aboard
the train. He had crouched low on
the bottom step of the smoking car
where. he was seen by a passenger
passing into the car. The sheriff was
informed of the boys whereabouts and
he softly opened the door of the coach
and was about to grab the lad when
the little fellow just dropped off the
step to the ground, eluding the grasp
of the officer. The sheriff and several
other FASTENED to the rear of the train,
which was now running fully forty
miles per hour, expecting to see the
ptostrate form of the lad stretched at
the track side, or maybe worse, ground
to death by the wheels. To the sur
prise of everyone. there was the lad,
up and running in the opposite dierc-
tion as fast as his legs could hit it
up" It was some few minutes before
the train could be stopped and the
sheriff permitted to alight, for he did
not care to take the chances assumed
by the boy. I his gave the urchin a
big start and ds he turned of the
track into the country the chances for
his escape were even with those of
the sheriff for finding him. No word
of the outcome of the pursuit has yet
been heard at Grinnell or Searsboro,
and the hunt may still be in progress.

nesses for the defense live. Mitchell

O'Clock and l.. l.. Duke, for the defense,
began his address to the jury in which
he strove to tear down the argument
of the state. Mr.. Duke spoke until
the noon hour, when court adjourned

Antwerp, Sept 25.-The strike of
the dock laborers of this city, which
has been going on since last June,
came to an end Tuesday afternoon
with a sweeping victory for the FEEDER
alton of ship owners. At meeting
of the strike leaders, it was decided
that the men should return to work
Internationally, at the terms of the
employers. 4.
The men have been astonished and
overawed by the solidarity of the
federation, and there will not be an
other dock laborers strike in Ant
werp for many years to come. The
power of the strike organizers has
been completely broken. This strike
has brought about coalition among
the ship owners of the world for mu-
tual protection which, in the future,
will make shipping strike an ex.

Night in Coffin
For a Dubuque
.'.'''' Frat Candidate
United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch. r
Dubuque, Sept. 25.-To lie for ten
hours in a coffin, to see through the
glass covering over his face the glim-
mer of candles, was the fate of Roy
Lorraine, a student of the Dubuque
high school, who was the victim of a
frat" initiation. ....
The young man being of the nerve
less kind, was to be submitted to the
most trying ordeal Gagged and
bound, he was taken under cover of
night to farm in the vicinity of the
city. Here he was escorted to a Gel
lar long in disuse and led down the
stairway Candles were lighted and
placed about in inches in the wall and
young Lorraine, blindfolded, was in
duced to lie down in what to him
seemed a box, and the cover was fast
ened. The covering soon was remov-
ed from his eyes, and he awoke to the
realization that he was in a coffin.
There was sufficient air to keep him
from smothering and he remained
there all through the night. Early in
the morning he was released by some
of his friends.

DAN CUPID HAS A
new EXPERIENCE
LITTLE GOD WADEs THROUGH
MISUNDERSTANDING GALORE.
BUT HE FINALLY SUCCEEDS
Unites His Victims After Several
Years Experience--cIimax Comes
After Hearing of Case For
Attempted Murder.

Through the winding paths of ro-
mantle thicket beset with a shooting
affray and criminal trial conducted
by the aid of an interpreter, Dan Gu
pid bravely worked his way until he
snatched his victims from the witness
chair after the hearing of an attempt
ed murder in Justice Woodruff's court
Tuesday afternoon. The accused man
was bound over to the grand jury,
while the injured woman was united
in the holy bonds of matrimony to her
companion. Miss Annie Grenchmeir
and Winsel Rupert were the contract
ing parties. They are foreigners and
speak but very little English and their
story was heard by the court through
Miss Katherine Werner, who acted
as interpreter during the trial They
have been living together for several
years and are the parents of young
child who lives with them at their
home at Durfee where Mr. Rupert
is employed in the mines. When he
was asked why his name did not cor
respond with that of his wife's, he
tried to explain by saying that they
were married but she had never
changed her name. They had got
their license but had never been mar
ried. After the hearing was over a
new license was secured and Capt.
Woodruff tied the knot which settled
their matrimonial troubles for the
present.
The case on trial was that of the
State of Iowa VS.. Chas. Jessamshmig,
accused of assaulting Annie Grench-
meir with intent to commit murder. j.
G.. Patterson appeared for the defense
and the man was bound to the grand
jury and released under bonds of ST.
900.
The evidence showed that Annie
Grenchmeir was shot on the evening
cf September 16. while standing in
hef Kitchen watching her husband Ito
be- tacking down the linoleum on the
floor of their home in Durfee, which is
the adjoining house to the one occu-
pied by the defendant Jessamshmig
and his family. Three shots were
fired from the street, two struck the
door case and one passed through the
panel and struck the lady on the left
arm, passing through the flesh and
lodging between two ribs on the left
side of her body, where she is still
carrying the bullet. While the evil
dence was not conclusive that the ac-
cused man is guilty of doing the shoot
ing, yet it was disclosed in the testi-
mony that Rupert, and Jessamshmig
had been quarreling and the latter
was drunk that evening When he re-
turned to his home late that night he
denied knowing anything about the af-
fair, but the constable, Geo. W. Ans
pach, testified that the man confessed
having done the shooting to him while
they were driving to this city from
Durfee yesterday. II he fired the
shots it was evident that they were
intended to hit Rupert and not the
woman. DR.. Mcclure of Bussey and
Miss May Jessamshmig, daughter of
the defendant, were among the princi-
pal witnesses.
