Hayes, who travels in a Pullman and makes & specialty of robbing Catholic churches for a living, was arrested here yesterday by detectives. Hayes’s particular line of business is stealing candlesticks. All of hisdepredations were confined to Catholic churches, and scarcely a church of that denomi- nation in Omaha escaped him, At St. Mary Magdelene’s church Hayes stole four brass candlesticks, He visited the church of the Holy Fam. ily and departed with two candle- sticks. St. John’s church reported a loss of two candlesticks and a cruci- fix. At the church of the Sacred Heart Hayes stole ten strings of beads, in- cluding one belonging to Father Judge, and two candlesticks. Four candlesticks were taken by Hayes from St. Peter’s church. All of the stolen property has been recovered. Hayes carried papers to show that he served in the Philippines and also that he was assistant secretary of the Bowery branch of the Y. M. C. A. in New York. Among his effects were found sleeping car coupons. Heo pleaded guilty to one charge of petit larceny this morning and was sen- teneed to thirty days in jail. A hear- ing of the other four cases against him has been postponed pending further investigation by the polices. About sixteen Omaha churches were robbed of their candlesticks, eruci- fixes and beads. All of the stolen property was recovered. CHAFFEE IN LINE. Likely to Become Head of the Army in 1904. Washington, December 21.—The announcement yesterday that Gen. Young would be the next lieutenant general of the army upon the retire- ment of Gen. Miles was not asurprise in army circles here, for it has been recognized that he is the legitimate successor of the present head of the military establishment. Mr. Root secretary of war, went so farrecently before a committee of Congress to say as much in auswer to a question, qualifying it only so far as to say that his would be. the action taken, nope meet ‘ +ntethit-timehe-was secretary of MeNew York San, a rabid repub | “ ue war, There will be a number of import- ant changes in the places of high rank in the army during the coming year. Among those who will retire will be Generals Hughes and Davis, in addition to Gen. Miles, The places made vacant by their retirement will be filled by the promotion of Briga- dier Generals Wood, Wade and Sum- ner. : It is generally believed that upon the retirement of Gen. Young in January, 1904. Gen. Chatiee will succeed to the command of thearmy. His-services both here and in the Chinese campaign and the Philippine campaign has been of such high order as to entitle him to recognition. The present administration is favorably inciined toward bim. Chafiee will re- tire in April, 1906, and Gen. Corbin will retire five months later. These changes at the head of the army will have a corresponding effect all along the line in the way of promotions It isa matter for comment, however, that the promotions ure all of men much younger than the officers who have usually reached high rank in tue past.

Three Business Firms Ask Damages of James Settles. Three dainage suits of a very un- usual character were filed Saturday evening with the circuit clerk, says the Clinton Democrat. The plaintiffs were three Clinton business firms—Thos. H. Violette, Hendrix & Son and Piper Bros. and the defendant in each case is James H. Settles, a well-known farmer liv- ing near Clinton. The thiee cases are identical in their cause of action, and the peti- tions in each sets forth that Settles went into the plaintiff's business houses and emptied out of a sack a lot of dirty clothes; that in a loud voice and with defamatory and slanderous words he threatened to in- jure plaintiffs’ good name and busi- ness by saying they were responsible for his boy getting drunk, He threatened them he would do all he could to keep people out of their stores. He charged that they and all who signed saloon license peti- tions were the “lowest down, dirtiest set of people that walk the streets of Clinton.” Ile went out of the stores and continued to make said charges and has circulated petitions to be signed by persons pledging that they will not trade with plaintiffs, Such is a condensed statement of the alle- gations set forth in each petition; and in each of the three cases $1,000 damages is asked. The whole trouble may besuceinet- ly stated in a few words.—Settles’ son, @ young Man, came home some days since intoxicated; and the father next day visited the three stores and raised the trouble because the pro- prietors signed the saloon license. The three firms are among our lead'sg ones, and the proprietors stand high as business men and citi- zens. They have retained Messrs, Dickinson and Hinkle as counsel.
