night at the White house.
Miss Il. l. Sisson, one of the instruc
tors at the exclusive school, allows
herself to be freely quoted to the eff
feet that President Roosevelt, angered
at being passed on the road by a
horseback party of seminary girls
spurred his steed to gallop and over
took the young women at a narrow
point In the road.
She asserts that one of the girls
came near being unseatcd by the col
lision between her stirrup and part of
the presidents saddle equipage She
further believes that Mr. Roosevelt
struck the young woman's horse with
his riding crop as he went by, for the
animal plunged with fright and pain
Once past the seminary riding party
the president is alleged to have turned
sQuarely about in his saddle and de.
livered a short but savage lecture to
the young women for daring to pass
him on the road.

Hughes have consented to serve on

already been discussed among them.
\ majority of the members are in
clined to the plan of holding secret
sessions and giving the public its in.
formation in reports only, as was
done by the Hepburn banking invcs.

reason advanced for this is that par.

Bio Business on Short Line.

Lincoln journal: Tine amount of
business being done on the O'Neill
and Sioux City lines of the Burlington
railroad in Nebraska is continual
revelation" said a Burlington man in
discussing the matter. That part OF
Nebraska enjoyed a crop year rather
above the average, perhaps, and the
amount of grain that is being turned
to the railroads is constant surprise
The line of the Burlington, taken over
from the Great Northern, that runs
from Sioux City to O'Neill has been
producing big business recently, and
along with big business came trouble
in operation. The water supply on
the line has been insufficient and there
was trouble for time in getting
trains over the road on this account
The line is producing from one to
three trainloads of freight a day, and
| this added to the passenger business
and out going freight has made good
business. The Sioux City line has
been handling a big traffic, too. The
fact is that all railroads in northeast
Nebraska have been handling a heavy
traffic.
Just now a great deal Of Nebraska
wheat is going to Minneapolis, The
usual amount is going east to Chicago
and other markets. Strange as it may
seem there has been heavy movement
of corn to the Rocky mountain re
Sion recently. Someday someone viii
write a story about how the Nebraska
crop gets out of the state and Il
will prove a surprise to know that II
is called for from all points of the
! compass"

Deaf Mutes in st. Paul Police Court.
Crying Baby the Cause.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 19.-The odd
situation of a deaf-and-dumb husband
abusing a deaf-and-dumb wife because
the baby cried at night was put be-
fore Judge Hanft, of the municipal
court, in letter written by Mrs
George Dehler, 756 Stewart avenue.
The woman declared that the hus
band assaulted her and called her var.
ious bad names, with his fingers, by
means of the deafand-dumb alphabet
She declared that he had repeatedly
threatened to kill the baby.
1t was not long ago that the wo
man caused the arrest of her hus
band on the charge of assauIting her
but when the two appeared in police
court, it was his face, not hers. that
showed signs of abuse, his forehead
and cheeks being covered with
scratches. At that time he was dis
charged.
Dehler had been employed a mum
Der of years in the Tuchelt cigar store
and has always been regarded as a
steady worker. Once in a while, how
ever, it is said that he makes a little
too free use of the bottle
Judge Hanft will endeavor to settle
and wife by getting Dehler's employer
the difficulties between the husband
to induce him to stop drinking alto
gether.

"HOneymoonersv to Come Here.

Norfolk is to see The Honeymoon
ers."
Cohan's great song show has, after
long negotiation, been secured by the
Auditorium management for an en-
gagement here a week from next Sat
urday night-January ,.
1t was only by making a heavy
guarantee that the show was finally
booked. The company was routed
through Norfolk so that it seemed a
shame to allow them to pass the
town.
This will be a genuine theatrical
treat. The Honeymooners" is one OF
the funniest, cleverest musical come,
dies yet produced. PROBABLY the big,
gest company that ever came to town
will bring the show here the night
after New Years.
1t is hoped that not only a large
Norfolk audience, but that many PEG,
pie from surrounding towns may also
witness this great show.

In Stripes He is Arraioned

Sioux Falls, S. Dec. 1S.-Special e
The News: The unusual sight of &
prisoner in stripes being arraignet
was witnessed in the local court OF
Judge A. B. Wheelock The prisoner
was Robert Ames, who is serving q
term of twenty years in the Sioux
Falls penitentiary for manslaughter
committed in Charles Mix county.
Ames was arraigned before Judge
WheelOCk on the charge of assault
with intent to KILL the complaining
witness being Steward Gill, of the
penitentiary, who some months ago
was murderously attacked by Ames
who was armed with knife and who
inflicted injuries upon the steward
from which he has not yet recovered.
Ames waived his preliminary hearing.
The purpose of the present action
against Ames is the fear that Ames
might escape his just deserts in con-
nection with the uncalled for attack
upon Mr.. Gill by the disappearance
from time to time of the witnesses to
the murderous attack. Because of
this it was decided to institute the
criminal action against Ames and
press the case to trial at the present
term of state circuit court.
Ames has fourteen years yet to
serve on his twenty-year term, and
whatever additional term he receives
as the result of the present criminal
MT 30 10
served after he completes his twenty
year term, all of which indicates that
it will be some little time before he
will be permitted to live outside of
prison walls.
Ames is about the toughest PROPOSE
ton in the penitentiary today and ex-
traordinary precautions were taken to
prevent his escape while being taken
from the penitentiary to the justice
court and then back to the peniteu-
tiary. While in the Justice court he
appeared to enjoy his position. He
,chewed gum necessarily and oc-
casionally laughed at some remark of
his own or of the attorneys.
Friends of his victim, Steward Gill,
are planning, in view of Mr., Gill's i'm.
paired physical condition as the re
suit of the knife wounds inflicted by
Ames, to have him sent to a warmer
climate for the remainder of the win.
