Lunatic Threatened to Blow
up Bank.

Omaha, Neb., Mar. liza bold
attempt was made today to rob
the Merchants National Bank at
Thirteenth and Farnam streets
by man who, although at first
thought TO be a desperate Grim.
inal, is now believed by the po-
lice to be lunatic. The man
gave his name as l.. l. Fee, for
merly Of Rockford, Ill. He walk
ed into the bank soon after it
opened and menacing Vice Pres
ident Luthur Drake with bot
tie which he said contained nitro
glycerine, demanded $1,000 cash.
Mr.. Drake though believing for
the moment that his lite and
those OF his fellow officials and
employees of the bank might be
in imminent danger, conferred
calmly with the would-be robbec
until other officials called the
police and the man was taken
into custody. Tests by the po-
lice seem to show that the con-
tents of the bottle were harm
less.

Men Enter the Peniten-
tiary.
Columbia special in the Ne ws
and Courier: Two white prison.
ers, men of prominence. were
brought to the Penitentiary to-
day to begin serving sentence
the Supreme Court having pass
ed on their cases and decid ed
against both of them.
j. w. Gallman, who killed S.
M. Gilmore, in Union County
and was convicted of manslaugb.
ter, was brought down by Sher
iff Sanders. His sentence is Is
years.
Gallman is 40 years old and
has a family. He left his wife
ill at home. He is very highly
spoken of by those who know
him as a man Of character and
courtesy. The difficulty between
Gilmore and Gallman occurred
at Jonesville on May Is, 1907.
Gallman asked Gilmore if Gill
more accused him OF stealing
Capt. Fosters cow. Gilmore
said he did not, but that Gallman
had accused him, Gilmore, of
burning his own barn. From
this the lie was passed and the
difficulty began. There were five
wounds in Gilmore's body.
w. II. Mills entered the Peni-
tentiary today for the rest of his
natural life unless pardoned. He
is young man. AT Blacksburg
about one year ago Mills shot
and killed Frank Deal, a young
man who was member of a
prominent Blacksburg family.
Mills sclaimed that Deal had
been intimate with Mrs. Mills,
whose statements as TO her rela-
tions with the two men differed
at different times. Mills was
tried in June, 1907, and convict
ed of IN, rder with recommends
ton to mercy. On appeal the
lower court was sustained and
now Mills has begun his lite SEN
tence.

TWO Little Flashes.

Perhaps the tots do not really say
all the bright things that they are
credited with, but there can be no
doubt that they often flash out in a
way tina well-nigh startles one. Here,
for example. are two specimens that
are viuched for:
The class In grammar was recltins
and ono of the boys was asked TO
compare the adjective sick"
Sick" he began. and then paused
n moment rellectively. when his face
frightened up with a look OF intelli-
gcnce. mingled with humor, and he
said: "Oh. yea; sick. worse, dead.
The other case Is that OF young
hopeful at Sunday School. The
teacher asked him how many COM
mandments there ara and he prompt
ly replied ton
Now, George; suppose you should
| break one OF ihem," said the tencher
evidently with the Intention oil
preaching D little sermon.
Chen" came the quick answer
thered be only nine"
And thus 1t was that George spoil
ed the sermon.

The Vol. prspsed Woman.

The news comes from Paris that a
leader OF fashion says n woman can
not he we'll dressed In the gay French
city for less than $4,000 year. She
must pay at least 5000 for dress for
ordinary wear and $4,000 for "crca-
tlon." Proper hats cannot be had fof
less than $3.50 each. and the dainty
hosiery OF my lady OF fashion must
run SO TO $50 q pair.
That story was probably only cir
culnted In America, and with the In
tentlon to catch the American eye
and gull tho American trade. Be-
cause OF our lavish use OF money,
Americans have, come to be regarded
by Europeans IA wholly money mind
ed. They think we have get up the
dollar mark as the arbiter of good
taste. and Judge only worth and ele-
gance and art by what they cost in
terms OF gold. II IL not true that the
dollar mark is the symbol OF value 10
all OF us. We do not form our tastes
upon the siae of II. We do not think
that richness means elegance, or gau-
diness beauty. Our American women
do not need all the appliances nor
appurtenancss some of their Partisan
sisters require TO make them well
dressed. The American woman has
taste, grace. style and dignity. and
she need only gown these with a SIM
,plicity as sweet MS her own character
to he we'll dressed. --Wasshingtou

serds Letter to Episcopal Clergy
- Aoalnst All GAMBLING.

ALBANY, N. Y. Feb. s.-Rt. Rev.
William Croswell Doane, Bishop OF
the Albany Episcopal Diocese. has
sent q letter to the clergy OF hls do
ceees in which he takes up tho Ques-
ton of anti racetrack gambling legis-
lation. The letter. in part. follows
1.-THE governor OF New York. In hla
address on the anti-racetrack gamb-
ling question. touched the sin and
wrong OF gambling
1T Is not our way, and hope II
never will be. to use the pulpit OF tho
Episcopal Church for dealing In de-
tail with questions OF legislative en-
Rctments. But there seems to mo an
opportunity offered here which ! am
disposed to ask the clergy to deal
With. OF pointing ont the ain and
wrong which underlle this whole ques-
ton.
"Edsguised under innumerable
forms. acme. seemingly innocent and
harmless. the passion for gambling is
tolerated and INDUCED in for private
amusements and in public entertain-
ments with an apparent dullness OF
conscience ala to Its sin, which Is an
xious and alarming. Wherever II Is
done. In poolrooms or In parlors, on
thu track or In public entertainments
for charity. It la essentially wicked
ana full of evil consequences, and the
reasons are plain and easy to find
Its root Is the deadly sin of covetous-
ness--'the desire to get something Tor
nothing.
