OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 23.—(Special.) —
John Kessel and Frank Young, a
Minneapolis couple, rounded up at Grand
Island, left Omaha this afternoon for
their home In Minneapolis.
The couple were never under arrest,
their undoing coming last Wednesday
afternoon, when a well-dressed, flne
looking man and a woman stepped off
Union Pacific Train No. 101. This train
carried no sleeper. They made inquiries
is to when the next train carrying a
r would come from the West and
were told it would be at 8:30 o'clock in
the evening. The two decided to wait
for this irain. They were en route to
*. a lifornia.
Nick Lahann, a farmer living four
miles northwest of Grand Island, hap
pened Into the depot. Whether he had
been advised of the arrival of this pair
«>i not was not ascertained. None of the
immediate parties in the case were in the
city, isk-k Ijtihaim called into consulta
tion a police officer. He Wanted advice.
In this consultation the fact that there
was nothing to show that the couple had
traveled a* man and wife was discussed,
as klc-o the absence of evidence which
might justify an arrest. It was believed,
however, that the man and woman were
eloping, each being married and leaving
a family in Minneapolis. The result of
the conference was that both the man
and woman went with the farmer to the
home of the woman's sister, and left
their tickets to California with the local
ji^tnt of the Union Pacific to be refunded.
On the special homeseekers' tickets the
man subscribed the name of Oliver A.
Thompson to both his own and the worn
tin's ticket.
The man offered the woman money to
return to her home, stating that he him
self, however, could not Igo back, and
there are some indications that upon ar
rival at the home of her sister the wom
an weakened and preferred to go back
to her husband and family.
It is stated that Young has been har
boring more than friendly feelings to
ward the woman for over two years,
finally inducing her to elope with him
and go to California.
Young was a South side grocer in Min
neapolis and was fairly prosperous, he
carrying away in cold cash when he left
$3,000. This money his wife claimed to
have assisted him in saving, and she at
once instituted a search for the husband,
with the result that he was detained at
Grand Island.

Approach Civilisation Too Familiar- |
ly to Please the Farmers.
I.ewiston Correspondence of the Boston
Advertiser. ' _ „ ,
"•Zekel!" is fairly driving the Oxford
county farmers distracted.
'Zekel is the amiable black bear that
dwells in great abundance up that
way. He isn't dangerous. 'Zekel was
never known even to make faces at any
one that walked upright on two legs like
himself. The fact is. 'Zekel is too will
fed to be cross; and 'Zekel's well-fed con
dition makes the farmers mad. 'Zekel
has attained his prime condition on their
fat sheep.
There are more black bears in Oxford
county to the square mile than In any
other area in Maine. The residents of
the county call themselves "Bears," so
noted is the county for its bruins. Ox
ford is a land of hills and craggy little
mountains, rising abruptly from the r»v
--! er meadows. Almost every farm has its
j rocky bteeps-a hill humping from the
I level of some back pasture. 'Zekel lives
j up in his den on the mountain, and finds
I it easy to drop down on the flocks and
■ scuttle back to shelter again. Two years
• ago the bear bounty in Maine was de
i clared off. Now the farmers of Oxford
j are piling in petitions by the hundreds 1
; asking that the bounty be restored.
They say that the bears are fairly eat-
I ing them up. The "critters" have stolen
! fat sheep, they have broken into the eel
■ lars through the bulkheads, and have ex
■ tracted the best vegetables. They have
i even bursted the butter crocks, and some
; mornings when the man of the house
: has gone down stairs. to see what has
• been happening the language that he has
used has been of the sort that isn't tol
erated ordinary in Puritanical Oxford
county. ; ■■-• -■•:;.:
At the last session of the legislature
the bounty on wildcats was also lifted.
It is now in order for some of the peoplo
down in Washington county to follow
along behind the farmers of Oxford arid
request of the state that a price be placed
back on the head of the "loucivee."
Mrs. Harriet Bagley, of Whitneyville,
will, however, take care of herself on
the bobcat Question, even without the
state law. She was sitting in her kitchen
the other evening- waiting for the men
folks to come home. All at once she
heard a queer sound at" the -window.
There was no curtain there. She look
ed and against the glass.was pressed the
furry face of a bobcat.
A bobcat has a curiously blank coun
tenance. His ears stick up straight in
an inquisitive fashion, but his eyes are
simply . saucerlike, without expression.
! The cat sat perfectly quiet* and stared at
! Mrs. Bagley without winking. There
j wasn't even the flutter of his eyelid.
Those great round eyes glittered in the
frozen night. Tlrey glared and they
stared at the woman, who sat and stared
back at him. At first she had the un
comfortable notion that he would pretty
soon make a spring and come through
the glass, but he seemed content to sit
and look at her. ■ ■-"-.-. ■:-.-;-
She recovered her self-possession a lit
tle, and commenced to make motions to
drive him away. His eyes only grew a
bit larger, if that were possible and
still he looked at her without winking
In a little while Mrs. Bagley grew
offended at this close and "bold scrutiny
mightily offended at this close scrutiny*
She had been reading the fashion page
in her weekly paper, and now to save
her lire she couldn't get interested in
the latest style of skirts. It . was too
much for any woman to bear.
So she went along to* the wood box
and selected a big chunk of birch. Hit,
cat never took his eyes off her. His gaze
followed her when she boldly went 10 the
kitchen door, raised the latch and threw
the door open. When the lamp light
streamed out into the night down jump
ed the bobcat and started to straddle off
But Mrs. Bagley aimed her birch stick
in such a deadly fashion that she hit
him on the head. Sue didn't go out to
see what had happened to him, but when
the men folks drove up an hour later

FIND DEAD MANS LETTER.

HELENA, Mont., Feb. 24.— mystery
surrounding the death of Capt. Oliver
Dotson, one cf the men who laid out the
city of Denver, and was a famous Black
1 hills character, and who was found dead
in his cabin in Washington gulch, thirty
five miles west of Helena, remains un
solved, and. the tragedy promises to de
velop one of the most remarkable stories
of crime ever heard in this region.
The officers, who returned today from
Washington gulch, report the finding of
an alleged confession signed by Capt.
Dotson, in which he declares that his son,
Clinton Dotson, his grandson, Oliver Ben
son, and Elias Persinger, the latter a
youth from Missouri, are Innocent of the
murder of Eugene Cultinane, which oc
curred in August, ISM, and for which the
younger Dotson is now serving a ninety
nine year sentence and the other two
terms of ten years in the penitentiary.
The officers believe the confession to be a
clever forgery, but say they cannot prove
this until persons familiar with Dotson's
handwriting can be found. To all ap
pearances Dotson had committed suicide
A rifle had been rigged up against the
wall and notion had apparently stood in
front of it and pulled the trigger with a
j string. He was shot through the head.

Stop Careless Use of Public Funds by
State InatitutioHSr-Report on
Senate Oil Inspection
Measure.
PIERRE, S. D.. Feb. 23.—(Special.)—
Representative Everett's bill for codifica
tion of the laws is different from any
other that has been intrqduced. It pro
vides that the governor, attorney general
and secretary of state shall act as su
pervisors of the revision, with power to
engage two attorneys to act with the at
torney general in performing the worlc.
It provides for a total appropriation of
$13,000, $2,000 each for the attorneys, $1,000
for the attorney general, $7,000 for print
ing, and the remainder for miscellaneous
expenses. The commission will make a
complete codification and revision of the
laws, correcting discrepancies and
smoothing out the intracicies of language,
but not changing the evident intention of
the lawmakers. As each hundred pagea
are revised they will be printed from
linotype composition, which #111 be held
for correction until the final editions are
ordered. The work mast be completed
by Nov. 1, 1902. The legislature of ISO 3
will further revise the work of the com
pilers and will enact it into law, after
adding such additional statutes aa it
sees fit. After the adjournment of the
legislature the work will ■ be corrected
and printed from the linotype matter from
which the proofs were struck. This bill
removes some of the objections that have
been urged against previous bills for the
same purpose and may pass.
Eepresentative Redding has introduced
a bill that will receive the commendation
of residents in many of the more sparse
ly settled regions of the state. In these
regions there are many abandoned wells
and cisterns that exist as a menace to
men and domestic animals;- and scarcely
a season passes that human lives are not
lost in these traps, to say nothing of the
horses and cattle thatjmeet their death
in this same manner. -Mr. Redding s bill
makes it the duty of the road overseers
to locate these daiigerous places and to
iill or otherwise mSke safe if the
owner of the land or bis agent neglects
to do so after proper n&tice, the expense
to be charged against the premises as a

Senate Bill No. 167, which Is now up to
the governor, is onsofkhe most import
ant measures of the and * will
work a great reform iri the management
of the public institutions. If this law
had been on the statute books some years
ago the state would have been saved the
disclosures that have been made before
the investigation committee relative to
the careless use of public funds that were
paid to the institutions for cash items
like board, fees for tuition and the sale
of merchandise or products. The bill pro
vides that all land funds belonging to the
state institutions, together with all local
collections or fees of every kind, shall
be turned into the state treasury, for the
benefit of the respective Institutions, by
which the same were collected, to be paid
out only upon warrants issued by the
state auditor. This law will put an end
to almost innumerable petty abuses and
Indiscretions and remove a seemingly ir
resistible temptation from those who have
heretofore handled these funds
The bill to punisfNthe creating of a
deficiency in any of the public institu
tions does not seem to be making great
Headway. It provides that persons wiio
violate its? provisions shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and be subject to a fln.^
and it is understood that the hearls of
most of the institutions have put in hard
work to defeat it. Existing law prohibits
the creation of deficiencies, but pre
scribes no penalty, and it is evident it is
the penalty to which the gentlemen ob
ject. It is said that several members of
boards have threatened to resign if the
bill passes.
The senate oil inspocttcn bill received a
favorable committee report in the house,
with a few amendments, and is said to
s +and a fail r.hancs of passage.
It is understood that t*ie supreme court
has promised to render a decision In the
board of charities case on Wednesday it
possible. It is also rumored that in' the
event the decision is against the recent
appointees, Gov. Herreld will proceed to
remove Commissioner Kin^sbury, of
Yankton, under the power \csted in him
by the new removal Mil; and appoint Mr
Lavin in his stead. On Thursday L)r
Finnerud was reappointed and confirmed
to nil the full term of a member of the
beard, his recent appointment being only
for the unexpired term of Mr. Oavis, who
resigned.
A red hot petition aigalnst the enact
ment of the pending: rew wolf bounty
law was presented and read before the
senate on Thursday. It was signed by
seventy-five citizens of Stanley county,
one of the live stock centers, and created
much amusement at the expense of Sena
tor Rowe and other ".wolfers."
Miuh is heard of the organization that
is said to have been formed In the house
to defeat certain legislation, particularly
appropriations. So far the organization
has not shown its hand, at least to the
view of outsiders, but the time will come
soon when opportunities to harpoon mat
ters will occur with sufficient frequency
to keep the works red hot.
Friends of the bill to remove the reform
school fromPlankmton toWatertown are
working hard for the success of their
undertaking and the agitation has ex
tended in several different directions.
Besides the proposition to remove the
blind asylum from Gary to Plankinton,
some talk is heard of removing the
Springfield normal to Aberdeen. The lat
ter proposition was made direct from
headquarters two years ago, but was not
entertained by any of the persons direct
ly interested. The probabilities are that
nothing will come of any of the removal
talk this year, either, as few of the
friends of the establishment Institutions
are willing that a precedent should be es
tablished that some day might rise up
and smite them.

KID HER PRESSURE
UNITED STATES GOVERMUEJiT'S PO
SITION IN ITS RETALIATION
AGAINST RUSSIA,
WAS INSPIRED BY THE TRUST
It Is Said Russian Industrie* Would
Welcome Any Exonse to Increase
the Present Higli Protec
tive Protection.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 24.—The semi
official Financial Messenger, In the course
of an article denying that sugar exports
enjoy either an open or a secret premium
from the Russian treasury, points out
that the character of the sugar regime of
Russia, which hxes the selling price for!
the home market at a regularly reduced I
rate from year to year, is intended to
protect the Russian consumer against
the encouragement of exportation at his i
expense and that if secret export j
premiums exist at all they are due to '
the growing power of trusts and syndic j
cates in getting various branches of pro
duction into their power, with no other
aim than to maintain high prices abroad
at the expense of the home market.
The Journal de St, Petersburg says:
"Will not a dangerous precedent be I
created by the desire to prove at any i
price that alleged secret premiums are
concealed by the Russian sugar regime.
If Russia employed the same logic, she !
would, with even greater justification, be
driven to impose even greater counter
vailing duties upon cast iron, steel, cop
per and other American products to
which the principle now being established
could be applied with equal justice.
"Russia would also be perfectly justi
fied -in applying this new procedure not
only against the United States, but al3o
against Western Europe, inasmuch as
this singular idea of the concealment of
secret premiums originated in no way
with the United States. It was first pro
claimed by Europe at teß rhussels con
ference in IS9B, and it is only such an
idea, for which Europe is responsible,
that Russia has to thank for an iniqui
tous act on the part of the friendly
United States.
"It must, above all, be not .forgotten,
that this is a slippery path and that, it
it is pursued further, we too shall in
evitably proceed without oven awaiting
the expiration of commercial treaties to
similar measures, not only with regard
to America, but also with regard to
Europe in the case of such products as
art: controlled by syndicates or other or
ganizations and sold cheaper abroad than
at home.
"To such incredible consequences ona
comes even at first glance when one
starts upon the solution of international
questions from unsound principles, ques
tions which require abuve all the mosr.
übsolute justice and consideration ot
mutual interests, if an understanding be
tween parties is to be maintained."
Those articles, which appear in the of
ficial organs of the ministry of finance,
undoubtedly represent the views of the
Russian government in the application nt
the theory of concealed export premiums
to trust made products. Both papers sig
nificantly hold Western Europe responsi
ble for the theory, thus/tacitly admitting
that the United States acted under pres-
Siire. They threaten trust made
European and American products, which
are sold cheaper abroad than at home
with compensatory duties. They ignore
as irrelevant, the distinction between
legislative and voluntary regulation of
industries.
The announcement of this doctrine
opens up a wide field of speculation, ap
parently presaging a transformation of
the discriminating duties against Ameri
ca into a general increase of duties on all
articles which enter largely into the
world's commerce and are the objects oL
the keenest competition.
Russian industries would certainly wel
come anj excuse to increase the present
high protection. During the existing:
Stagnation they have bitterly complained
whenever a foreign concern has secured
a government order and they are con
tinually demanding favors of every kind,
railway rates and the like against for-"
eigners. Possibly, however, the inspired
organs merely desire to illustrate In a
drastic way the dangers from the at
tempts of one state to interfere indirect
ly with the Internal affairs of another.
SUICIDES PUT OFF.
CHINESE PUNISHMENTS DELAYED
ISTU- TUESDAY.
PKKIN, Feb. 24.—Fu1l texts of the im
perial edict regarding punishments were
sent last evening to the ministers cf the
powers, identical with the official report
of the contents of the edict cabled to t!ie
Associated Press. The ministers say
there is a little contusion with reference
to strangulation and suicide, but that
this is not important.
Li Hung Chang received a bulletin an
nouncing the sentences which could be
test carried into effect by the board oi'
punishment, ancl he requested the Jap.
a'lese to deliver Ying Nien and Chao
Shu Chiao in order that the sentences in
their cases might be executed today In
conformity with the edict but the Jap
anese considered the notice too short and
have delayed the enforcement of the pen
alties until Tuesday in order that the
ministers of the powers might send rep
resentatives as they desire.
It is also intended to guard the men
at the place of execution so as to pre
vent suicide or escape.
When official confirmation, duly certi
fied by high officers of state, of the sen
i tences oC death upon the others shall
I have been received and these two have
Ibeen executed, China will have prac
tically complied v^ith the terms demand
ed by the powers, as she has already
agreed to issue edictr, prepared by the
ministers of the powers for the cessa
tion of examinations and regarding the
responsibilities of viceroys and gov
ernors.
TO CARRY REGRETS.
Prince Chun, the emperor's brother,
■will soon go to Berlin to express China's
regrets for the murder of Baron yon
Ketteler. He says China has now accept
ed to the uttermost and also performed
everything required by the powers, ex
cept the payment of the indemnities, the
amount of which has not been decided.
He thinks arrangements should be made
for the evacuation of Pekin in order to
enable the court to return. He says he
believes* no nation in history ever com
plied with a series of terms more quick
ly and more completely.
No official announcement has been
made of the abandonment of the pro
posed expedition into the interior, but it
Is not likely that any further prepara
tions will be made. The foreign envoys
feel that the proposal was a master
stroke and caused the settlement of what
might have been a protracted affair.
The ministers of the powers regard the
punishment* edict as satisfactory. Chit)
Siu, former grand secretary and Hsu
Cheng Tv, son of the notorious Hsu
Tung, will be publicly executed in Pekin
today.
An edict has been promulgated sus
pending examinations at all points which
were the scenes of outrages upon foreign
ers.

TROUBLE IN VIENNA.
Austrian Reich* rath Drifting To-
wards Another Dlssolut lon.
VIENNA, Feb. 24.—1t is feared that
matters in the Austrian reichsrath are
drifting toward another dissolution and
the filling of all important positions by
military officers. Yesterday Herren
Schoenrer and "Wolf interpellated the
government on matters connected with
the confessional.
The chamber went into secret session,
and then amid a storm of clerical pro
tests copious extracts from the confes
sional rules and the questions of St. Al
phoHious, of Liguri, were read out. These
extracts had been contained in the inter
pellation by Herr Schoenrer, his object
being to get them placed upon the min
utes of the house, and thus to brand the
Catholics with immorality. But the
president of the reichsrath refused to
allow the interpellation to be read except
in secret session. The Clericals loaded the
Schoenrer party with opprobrious epithets
and threatened them with bodily chas
tisement. Fists were clenched and mem
bers hustled, the situation bordering on
a free fight. The Pan-Germans 'kept
shouting: "Away with Rome." Finally
Seherrer got a hearing and assured the
house that the translations of the book
were inaccurate, and further that it
never got into the hands of young peo
ple.
This statement qieted the chamber,
which voted to erase the interpellation
from the minutes.
ABLE TO GO OUT.

Bowler will tomorrow swear in the cor
oner's jury that is to inquire into the

A Curious Dilemuui.
A well-known member of congress front
a state close to the District of Colum
bia recently had an experience which lie
does not care to repeat. He is being
treated with electricity for stomach trou-
Die, and twice a week he swallows a
steel button with a thin wire attached
and connected with an electric battery
The opposite pole of the battery is then
placed on the outside of his' stomach
and the circuit thus formed. Several
days ago the congressman was taking
his treatment and the doctor was ner
y«us- After making the connection with
the battery he pulled out the plug about
lour notches too far. A muffled shriek
of surprise burst from' the representative
find h ? ade a wild plunge forward,
following him came the battery and the
doctor. The member could not release
himself from the battery, and in some
3fJ. A he 'locto, 1' had made connection
with it and could not let pro. So around
the room they went, with the battery
banging against the furniture and main
taining a steady and infernal buzzing.
After a few minutes of this exercise the
physician managed to make hi« patient
understand that he must keep still long
enough for the doctor to force In the
Plug with his foot. This was done and
the agony was over.
