HE PAYS IT IN GOLD.
Mr. Cudahy Complies with Terms
of Son’s Abductors.
Drives to a Lonely Spot with ling
Containing: $123,000, and the Ras
cals Return the Lad to
His Home.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 21. —There is re
joicing in the home of Edward Cudahy,
the wealthy packing house owner and
capitalist of this city. Edward Cudahy,
Jr., who was kidnaped Tuesday even
ing, after being held for 36 hours for a
ransom of $25,000 in gold, which the
young man’s father unhesitatingly
paid, has been returned to his family
and the boy* and his parents are receiv
ing congratulations from relatives and
friends throughout the country. Mr.
and Airs. Cudahy feel that they have
cause for relief, not only over the re
turn of their youthful son, but also be
cause one or possibly more of their
EDWARD CUDAHY, JR.
daughters were not included in the con
spiracy which has caused them so much
anxiety and grief, as a statement of
the conspirators, overheard by the lad
while he was in their power, indicates
that they had been attempting for a
month to secure possession of one of his
sisters. Air. Cudahy has been very reti
cent throughout the affair, and up to
Thursday afternoon refused absolutely
to talk, either of the kidnaping or the
payment of the ransom and return of
his son. All information given to the
public has been through his attorney,
Afelville Sears, and the statements of
the latter have been vert* guarded.
Letters from the Abductors.
At nine o'clock Wednesday morning
a horseman rode past the Cudahy man
sion on Thirty-eighth street and threw
a. letter into the lawn. A servant noted
the action and, securing the letter,
found it contained the information that
Eddie Cudahy had been kidnaped, was
safe and was being held for a ransom.
Three hours later Air. Cudahy received
through the mails a second communica
-tion, detailing the conditions under
which the lad would be surrendered to
his father. Among the conditions
named was one that Air. Cudahy should
deposit $25,000 in gold coin in a place
indicated, about five miles north of the
city, on a lonely road leading up the
bank of the Alissouri river. Air. Cud
ahy called into consultation the chief
of police and his friends and discussed
plans looking to the capture of the
gang when they should make an ap
pearance at the point of rendezvous
named in the letter. The great strain
on the family, however, caused Air.
Cudahy to abandon all idea of captur
ing the men into whose power was the
life of his son. and decided to at once
comply with all the demands of the ban
dits.
A Father’s Lonely Ride.
In order to do this, absolute secrecy
was necessary, and a trusted messenger
was dispatched to the bank to secure
the gold. Air. Cudahy held himself in
readiness and shortly* after supper he
entered a light road buggy*, and after
securing the money* started out entire
ly alone for the place of meeting the
kidnapers. To identify himself he
had attached to the dashboard of his
buggy a red lantern, which was one of
the conditions of the letter. Air. Cud
ahy drove north on the Sherman avenue
road to a point about five miles from
the city, where he found, near the road,
a white lantern suspended from a short
stake driven in the ground. This sig
nal he had been watching for it being
named as the place for leaving the
money*. The location of the lantern was
near the river bank, but when Air. Cud
ahy* arrived nobody* was in sight. He at
once alighted, placed the bag of gold
conveniently* near the stake and, with
out waiting for developments, secured
the horse’s reins and returned to the
city, without hearing a sound.
They Keep Their Word.
That the bandits were near the spot
and at once secured the valuable pack
age cannot be doubted, for about one
o’clock Thursday* morning the young
boy* ran breathless up to the door of
his father’s home and rang the bell for
admission.
Offers Big - Reward.
Late Thursday* night Air. Cudahy an
nounced he would pay $25,000 reward
for the apprehension of the abductors
of his son, $5,00€ for one and $15,000 for
two of them.

READY TO INSURE ROYALTY.
No Discrimination in American Com*
panics Is Made Against
Potentates.
In a cable dispatch printed hero
recently it was stated that some in
surance companies in Europe were
refusing- to accept risks on the lives
of reigning- potentates of the old
world, owing particularly to the men
ace of anarchist violence, which had
been brought pointedly before the
view of insurance company officers
by the tragic death of King Humbert
of Italy. According to the cable ad
vices, one company which found itself
compelled to pay $600,000, the value of
a policy on Humbert’s life, recently
refused to accept a risk on the life of
Alexander of Servia, who sought a
policy for 10,000,000 francs. The cable
dispatch intimated that insurance
companies doing business abroad had
no more use for royal patrons who
might desire to insure their own lives,
says an eastern exchange.
Inquiry among officers of some of
the insurance companies of the Unit
ed States which do a large foreign
business developed the fact that there
is no discrimination against royal
applicants for insurance in the Amer
ican companies. Each application for
a policy of insurance in American
companie is received and acted upon
on its cwn merits, without regard
for the accidental fact that the ap
plicant is a royal personage.
“There is no discrimination against
kings,” a high officer of one of the
largest companies said. “We do not
boycott those seated upon a throne.’*
He said that the danger from an
archists might be considered in con
nection with an application for insur
ance, but that it would be considered
exactly in the light of certain quali
fications of various applicants in
classes familiar in this country; that
it would be considered among the
moral hazards, but that merely in
itself it would not operate to bring
about the rejection of the applicant.
The occupations of various applicants
for insurance carry with them vary
ing moral risks, which are taken into
consideration by the insurance com
panies. The moral risks of certain
kingships would probably be reflect
ed in the premiums exacted in the
case of accepted kingly applicants,
but the accident of royal birth or
regal place would not, American in
surance men say, deprive a potentate
of the privileges of insurance which
he would enjoy if a private citizen of
any of several w-alks of life.
UTILIZATION OF FURNACE GAS
Waste Product in Prussia, to Be Used
in Running: Big: Elec
tric Motors.
Vice Consul General Hanauer, of
Frankfort, writes, November 3, 1900,
as follows: On October 30, 25 repre
sentatives of the largest iron works
in France and Belgium visited the
Horde Mining and Rolling Mills as
sociation, at Horde, near Dortmund,
Prussia, to inspect the electrical cen
tral station for utilizing the gas com
ing from the months of furnaces.
This new method is considered one
of the wonders of modern technics.
The plant, when fully completed, will
have a force of 6,400 horsepower. At
present, three twin motors of the
Oechelhauser system are run this
furnace gas to produce an electric
current for supplying power and light
for the Hermann rolling mills. A
fourth motor of 600 horse-power and
four others of 1,000 horse-power each
are now in process of construction to
serve like purposes.
A Wonderful Old Lady.
Lord Rosebery’s mother, the duch
ess of Cleveland, is a wonderful old
lady. Though she is in her eighty-first
year she is full of energy and is a de
lightful companion. The London King
mentions, as an illustration of her ac
tivity that she did not indulge her love
for travel until she was over 70 years
of age, and since then she has made
many a journey, including a tour to In
dia. the West Indies and British South
Africa. The duchess was married o
the late duke of Cleveland in 1854, three
years after the death of Lord Dalmeny,
Lord Rosebery’s father.

Comes a Startling Story. An Open
Letter that will Cause a Sensation.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 24, 1900 (Special),.
—At No. 2J.15 O Street, this city, is the
B. & M. Wall Paper House. “B. & M.”
are theinicial letters of the proprietors,
Mr. A. C. Bonsor, and Mr. O. E. Myers-
The senior partner, Mr. Bonsor, is a
well known and highly respected citi
zen, and no one has ever doubled his
truthfulness. It- is, therefore, the pro
nounced opinion in Lincoln and the
State generally, that the significant and
very strong statements made in Mr.
Bonsor’s letter will go unchallenged..
After explaining his willingness that
the matter be given the fullest possible
publicity in the public interest, Mr.
Bonsor proceeds.
I have suffered untold misery and
pain for over ten years. My kidneys
were diseased. I tried many so-called
remedies, but they did me no good. I,
saw an advertisement of Dodd’s Kidney
Pills, and I bought some, and com
menced to use them at once. I had not
been taking them three days before L
began to improve. For years I had
not had one good night’s sleep, and be
fore the first box of the Dodd’s Kidney
Pills were all used, I could sleep all
nigjit without pains. lam now com
pletely cured, and have not a pain or
ache left. I cannot recommend Dodd’s
Kidney Pills too highly, for they are*
unexcelled as a kidney remedy.
Yours truly, A. C. BONSOR,
