 A curious characteristic of the earlier days of club life was the almost uni. versal practice of snuff taking and its very slow replacement by the use of tobacco. It was part of gentleman's education to manipulate snuffbox ele. gantly. and the possession of number of costly specimens of these receptacles was indispensable, explaining why snuffboxes of every variety in gold. silver, enameled and jewel incrusted. are nowadays so largely found among the curiosities of the collector There were snuffboXes kept full in every room in the clubhouse, and the ire quent call for it by all irritable olG member was one of the hits in Bul wer Lytton's play Money The sup ply of snuff was made gratis to mem bers.

Messrs. Tallmadge and Buntin of
the Tallmadge-Buntin Land company
arrived from the east this morning,
with a couple of special cars occupied
by sev~enty-five fasteners, who, after
taking breakfast at the Union Pacific
and other hotels and being driven
about the city, were taken to Bosler
and shown over the lands of the COM
pany. The party numbered some Of
the most substantial looking men yet
brought by these gentlemen, solid,
substantial business men and farmers,
who seemed to be well pleased with
what they have seen of the west. The
party occupied eight automobiles and
six vehicles drawn by horses. and
were taken to every portion of the city
that might prove of interest. The au-
tomobiles and carriages were then
sent to Bosler. the special cars going
by special train, where the visitors
will board them for the return trip.
Complimented on Forethought.
Messrs. Tallmadge and Buntin re-
ceived some compliments this morning
upon their foresight in first showing
the visitors about the city, giving them
an insight into the of what
will be their county seat when they
locate upon the lands they are now
viewing. The visitors were given to
understand that the country about the
city is a~bundantly able to support the
community when the settlements are
made,and that here is the trading point
or a vast section of the county. The
university and school systems were
pointed out. the work on the splendid
water main on Grand avenue referred
to, the brick plant, the rolling mills,
the machine shops, the plaster mills,
the Touring mill, Don to be started,
and every other inducement to the
thrifty settler from the east.
Third Large Excursion.
This is the third of these large ex-
cursions the Chicago gentlemen nave
brought west and only one of a num-
Der to be run during the coming sea
son. The filing of the papers in the
beginning of proceedings for the irri-
| CATION district was called to the atten-
ton of the visitors, who will be shown
while on the lands just what the irri-
CATION system when completed will
mean for this county. There is every
reason to believe that many of the
visitors will invest in the lands of the
company. which owns a large tract,
embracing several thousand acres.
The people of the city and county
welcome these visitors and hope they
will decide to make their homes here.

ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION
MADE AT TRANSFER OF

PANTHEON TODAY.
Two Shots Fired by Member of Staff
of La France MiIitaire, Organ Of
Progress and Military Future Of
RepubIic-Great Excitement, at
First Believed That President Had
Been the Victim.

Paris, June 1.-THE canonization to.
day of Emil lola at the Pantheon was
married by a dastardly attempt on the
life of Major Alfred Dreyfus. Paris
was thrown into a panic. for at first it
was thought that the president had
been shot. The major was wounded
and his assailant was arrested.
Condemned to Imprisonment.
Zola, who died in 1902, was ten
years ago condemned to a years i'm
prisonment for addressing to Felix
Faure, then president, the famous let
ter ~"Jaccuse." in which he laid bare
the conspiracy of the general army
staff against Dreyfus.
Honored by Nation.
Today his dust was inferred with
national honors in the Pantheon, the
French temple of fame, with impress.
siye ceremonies. The proposal to give
lola a glorious burial. made first in
1906, aroused in France all the dor
mant animosities that came out in the
Dreyfus trials. and the transfer of his
ashes, although duly voted by the
chamber and senate, was twice post
poned because of the state of public
opinion.
Opposition Due to Dreyfus Case.
Opposition to the burial of Zola's
ashes in the Pantheon arose from his
defense of Dreyfus, and the authorities
expected disorders today.
Journalist as AssaiIant.
The attempt on the life of Dreyfus
was made by Louis Anthelne Gregori,
a. member OF the staff of La France
Militaire, a journal devoted to military
progress and the military future OF
the republic. Dreyfus was present al
the ceremonies to do final homage tc
the great leader of his cause.
Inspired by Newspapers.
Gregori's act was undoubtedly in,
spired by the campaign which the re
dictionary press has been conducting
against lola as 'the insulter of the
army and the traducer of his country

CLEW THAT SUMMERS ESCAPED

SHERIFF BATH FRIDAY.
House of Peter Simonson on the Pho
neer Canal Robbed of Check, In
strument Turning UP at Omaha
With Signature in Handwriting
Used by Simonson at Centennial.

A clew that may be worth something
city today, when it was learned that
a check drawn by e. A. Baily OF Cen
tennial on the Centennial Trust COM
pany, for So, and payable to Peter
Simonson, the Pioneer canal ranch
man. had been cashej at Omaha by a
saloon keeper named Hatdig. The
check bears the signature "B. Simon
son." and Is said to be in the same
handwriting as the signature on the
forwarding order held by the Centen-
NAL p%ostofice and known to have been
signed by Summers when he worked
on the railroad grade there. The check
was returned to the Centennial Trust
company and is being brought to the
city by President Fred A. Miller this
afternoon, together with the forward
ing order given at the Centennial post
office.
Simonson Home Robbed.
Mr.. Simonson lives alone, being a
single man, and on Saturday last he
discovered that his home had been en-
tered and robbed of the check, a pair
of trousers ami some money and un-
derwear. He was absent from home
Friday afternoon, between 4 and 6
o'clock, but it is possible for the house
70 have been entered while Mr.. Simon
son was asleep. The Simonson house
is $50 yards from the Woods landing
road. The fact that the signatures on
the two instruments are exactly alike
lends color to the belief that Summers
robbed the house, secured the check
escaped to the railroad and presented
the check at Omaha Oh Sunday or Mon,
day, in time to have it go through the
bank there and back to Centennial by
the mail today.
Finds No Trace in Hills.
L. J. Porter, who is well acquainted
in the country through which Sum
mers was certain to have Travelled In
his escape, says he has secured every
foot of the country and can find nc
trace of Summers in his fight to the
hills. He is of the belief, as is Steve
Frazer and others, that Summers
could have escaped to the railroad on
Friday night.
