ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS, LLET. GASHE™ " The Man Geiger Makes Another Slash at His Own Throat, and Death Follows. His Last Letter, Tho man Geiger, who was found lying in a lumber yard with his throat badly out, made a second attempt on his life at the county jail, where he was cared for. He seemed quiet enough, though he had not got over the notion that somebody was chasing him, so when suppor was sorved to him, he was furnished sn old oase knife with which to cut his meat. As s00n as the jailor had turned aside, he took the knife and made another cut for his throat, the gash extending from the opposite side to that of the first wound, clear around till it nearly met the old wound. This second attempt to take his own life Zwas more serious than the first one, but it was thought that he might still survive, but yesterday, about two o’clock, he had a terrible convulsion, which ended in death. Tho body was taken to Coronor Connell's undertaking establishment, and the in- quest was held late yesterday afternoon. The knife with which the man made this second cut at his throat was an old bro- ken case knife, which at one time was smuggled into the jail by some of the prisoners, who made a sort of saw of it, and used it trying to cut away iron bars, until they had worn the teeth away, and got the edge so dull that it seemed im- possible to out anything with it. It was this old knife which was given him by the jailer, with which to eat his supper. The man was very violent for some hours before cutting his throat the second time, and wanted very much to be re- leased, he still fancying that some vigi- lance committee was after him. Before cutting his throat he wrote with a pencil ascrawling letter to his sister, Mra. Amelia C. Geiger, Rossville, Warren county, IIl. It was so written that it could not all be read, but was about as follows: To Meria; Iam_in Council Bluffs in jail for safe keeping. You must do the best you can_until Iget home. T have been robbed of all Thad. T told the sheriff to telegraph to Bob for $100 till T come home; so, you see, T can not tell whether I will get home alive or not. The — —— lynchers are after me. I don't know whether they will get meout «f the jail or not. S0 good bye to my little wife and little boys. _You must havo them taxes paid right og. Let father tend tothemif I don’t get home alive. Tell him it wasn't whisky that caused it at all, but they every thing they could get off of me last night. 1 tried to get in the jail for safe keeping, but the jailor would not let me in, Then I had to do the best I could. They was looking for me. You know it would not do for me to go in a house, for the chances was slim. Now Melia if I am hung I will be in- nocent in it; T feel 80, but I will try to cut my throat. I'll see you in the next world. Melia, tell Robert to stay where he is, and don’t coms west., I have no land here, nor do I want any. T suppose that takes Al e S e all that little Katie said about me, if all don't go right. You take Charlie and o o the little farm and stay there while yon live. If the jailor takes care of me it will be all right ; if not, it will be all wrong, Don’t you never bel eve that 1 _deceived ———, shall die an innocent death, you know that. I never did join anything but the grand army. The lot is after me. Tell Robert to send the boys to school every day that he can, for I want to see them sharp enough to bein the classes with all the rest. Now, good by to all till T seo you all in Happiness. Yours truly, E."P. Grioer. The man bad with him a letter from, apparently, the same party to whom he wrote the above, a well written one, and bearing evidence that the writer was well educated and somewhat cultured. In the lotter there were names men- tioned, the same showing, that though crazed, the man still had a clean memory on some points af; leaet, 1t appears that he came from O'Neil and was bound to 1llinois. ——— Bushnell sells railroad tickets cheap to all pointa. — A HORSE STABBED, The Accident Due to Oarelessness, Somebody's @ Yesterday afternoon a strange accident occurred to one of a team of horses be- longing to Mr. Ulson who hauls for the city mills. Ulson’s boy was driving at the time and the accident occurred on Broadway near Eighteenth street there being a place there where a water pipe had been laid, and the dirt had fallenn, making 8 hole in which several teams have been stalled of late. Some one had put up some stakes to warn teamsters, bnt this team came right upon this hole, and one of these stakes was driven right into one of the horses, entering the breast a distance of eight inches by actual measurement, making a wound which will doubtless cause his death, The horse is & valuable one, snd the acci- dent has called forth many narrations of others as to experlences trying to drive across that and similar places, and it seems that there has been much careless- ness about the way these places about the city have been left after rains have caused the dirt to fall away. e —— Attention!

The man who owned the premises was a philanth. ropic fellow and fished up an old pair of pants in a few moments at the same time setting the stranger to work maul: ing the wood pile. While thus engaged the children got around him and were dazzled with the pictures of some angel- ish red and bluo and a lot of sheet anch- ) Caspian and polar seas, and after giving a graphic acoount of his tiger hunting in India, his wrestles with gorillas in Africa and his great catch-as-catch-can match, Queensberry rules, with a boa constric- tar in South America, it is but right to add that he commanded the entire re- spect and attention of the audience. When the wood pile had been sufficlent- splintered he announced that the hospi- tality he had received called for more work, and there seeming to be nothing special in sight he expressed himself as uneasy unless he was shown something more. One of the children asked him if he could put some pictures on her as he had on hisarms. He said he could, and in @ twinkling zloduu«d the necessary paraphernalia, The children wero simply delighted and almost had a riot disput- ing over the first choice. By 4 o'clock in the evening he had two young boys, aged 4and 7, and a baby all covered over with pictures of South American scenery, hearts, sheet anchors and Ital- ian sunsets, besides making engagements with twelve of the neighbors’ children ¢ and enough proepective jobs to lest him a woek, When. last seen he was leaving lthe premises iu front of & shotgun and | bulldog. NOT A NATURAL DEATH, fx-Oongressman Biester Olymer Now Known to Have Committed Sulcide. —— Shicago Times Special, Reavisa, Pa., June 17.—Considerable ixoitoment was caused to.day when it vas loarned that Hon. Hiestor Clymer, x-momber of congress from this distriot, wd who was buried yestorday afternoon rom his residence on Perkimen avonue, 1ad caused his death by his own hand, wmd had not died a natural death, as siven out by his family and friends. One f the attending physicians says that Olymer took a large dose of morphine on Friday evening last, about b o'clock, and 10twithstanding that everything possible was done to save his life, ho died in the oarly morning. Sets of men were em- ployed in walking him up and down the room, changing off every fow hours so as not to fatigue them too much. About midnight a stomach-pump was brought into requisition, and used constantly for two hours without showing any effact, That the act was a premeditated sui- cide is known from the fact that Mr. Clymer left two lotters, one of twelve pages addressod to George F. Baer, attor- ney, and the other to his business part- ner in the Olymer Iron eompany, of Tem- ple, Pa. In both of these ietters he speaka of hia financial embarrassment and his difficulty in obtaining money, and says that owing to the continued depres- sion in tho iron business he was unable to got rid of iron at remunerative prices, and, as a consequence was losing money. These, and other mattors weighed so heavily on his mind that his reason gave way, Strenuous efforts have boon made by the family and friends to keep the matter of suicide quiet, but one of the doetors in attendance gives tho facts of the case to-day, and says they can bo relied upon as true in every particular, The dootor says that after Mr. Olymer had taken the morphia he seomed to be under the impression that it would not answer the purpose, 80 he then caught up a oarving-knife elahc inches long and attempted to cut his throat. It was about this time that his wife came into the room, She screamed in terror, and fainted away. Her soreams brought the servants, and neighbors were summoned, who were with Mr. Clymer during the entire night, walking him around the room nng using all means to counteract the effect of the poison. The family and friends wished that no inquest should be held upon the body. They have thus far succeeded, but there is no tellin how soon the body will be disinterre and a post-mortem examination held. The whole topic of conversation in the city to-night is the suicide, and Mrs, Clymer has the sympathy of the entire community. e —— Onme Effect of the Pool System. Ago of Steel. The iniquity of the pool system among the railroads is no better illustrated than by the very wide difforence in freight charges as between pomts where it is all pool and no competition. A few days since I was in a large machiuery house on Second street, when the proprietor point- od out a big lathe, and said: “‘There is a lathe which was shipped here from Port- land, Me., for less money than it would cost to ship it here from Chicago.” ‘‘How 80?” “‘Simply because from Portland here we have competition and no pool, while from Chicago it is all pool and no com- petition.” ~ The propr'}@tor went on to tell me that some time'ago a mannfact- urer started \IE at Independence, Mo., and he took the agency of thegoods here, expecting to do a good business, but the freight was to much. Hoe said that for a while they worked it by getting a low rate to Kansas City, and then back here, making a lower rate than from Indepen- dence direct. But the railroad company found it out and ralsed the rate and spoiled that, thus killing the St. Louis trade of the manufacturer, and ultimate- ly drove him out of business, ‘‘Now,"” said the dealer, ‘‘I get tho same class of goods from Michigan at less than half the Independence rate.” This dosn’t look much like encouraging industries along tho line of western roads. e ———— WHY THE SAFE WAS OPEN, RareJewels Left Insecure ¢> Insure the Personal Safety of a Wife, Flmira (N. Y,) Letter to New York Sun, The fact that the recent robbery of $5000 worth of diamonds from the resi- dence of the Hon. C, C. B. Walker, in Corning, during his absence, was com- mitted with the greatest ease, becauss the safe in which the jowelry was kept was not locked, has given rise to much surprise and unfavorable comment. No one could understand how a man of the ex-Congressman’s strict business methods could be so caroless and thoughtless in regard to the protection of his houschold treasuros, especially as many of them, through association and long hmil{ pos- session had a valuo to him much beyond their intrinsic worth, When questioned on the subject by a friend, the laiter was atill further surprised to be told by Mr. Walker that the fact of the safe being left open was not the result of careless. ness or thoughtlessness, but was left open by his express order and direction. “When I am home,” said the ex-con- gressman, ‘I always lock the safe and put the key away. When I go away from home 1t is understood in my house that the safe must not be locked. You will remember that when the Wellsboro Bank was robbed a few years ago the cashier and members of his family were treated with great cruelty and violence by the robbers becauce of their resisting the de- mands for the keys to the vaults and safe. That set me to thinking, and one day I sald to my wife: ‘We have some things in that safe which are very valusblcand very dear to us. Now, it is only a question of tlme when some ruffian or ruffians will come after them. If I am home the chances are that they will not get them; but I may be away at _the time. If they come them, and find that safe locked, they will hesitate at no personal vio- lence toward you in their efforts to effect an entrance to it. All the pre- cious relics and tressures in the world would not be recompense for the results of such treatment. Therefore when I am absent from home the safe must not bo locked. Then if robbers come they will secure their booty and retire with- out disturbing you, Robbers came while T was away, «lected the booty,and left without disturbing Mrs. Walker or any one else, They were even consider- ate enough to administer other to my wife for fear of disturbing her, Suppose that safe had been locked. I don't care to even conjecture what the consequen- ces might have been, and I feel that ii saving my family from them the paying of 5,000 was @ trifling matter, — Social Equality, Texas Siftings, Some of the richest men in Austin started in lifo in & modest way, and are still plain, unostentatious people, but their sons put on a great deal of style. One of the latter, who was better posted about other people’s business affairs than about his own family’s remarked: “‘Yonr father was nothing but a stone.mason.”’ “I know where you got that informa- tion," quietly remarked the other. ‘‘From whom did 1 get it?" “From your father.” “How do you know that?" **Because your father used to bo my father's hod- carrier,” — AT WEST POINT, How the Cadets Are Instructed in Military Gymnasties and Swim Cor, N, Y, Times, Previous to 1882 thore was no spocial training in gymnastics at tho academy. Tho athletic apparatus was limited, and the cadets used to go and practice when they pleased outsido of study hours. In 1881 Lieut. Edward 8. Farrow, who graduated from here in 1876, returned after five years' Indian warfare on the frontier as instructor of tactios. His oxperience in the saddle and hardships of camp life convinced him of the necessity of a systematic course of gymnastics to develop and increase the physical powers of the cadet by gradually advancing him from preliminary movements to the most arduos and complicated machine exer- cises, By June, 1882, Mr. Farrow suc- coeded in getting the old riding-school in the academy building fitted up as & gym- nasium, and began to put his theories mto practice. The height, weight, and measurement, and chest measurement of every cadet in the fourth class was en- tered in a book, and each one put through an hour's systematio drill every day. At the end of the first year the advan. tages of this troatment were apparent, even to thoso who had atfiist boen op- posed to the plan. The average gain 1 welght for each cadet in the class was 18} pounds, the average increase of chest girth 44 inchos, the average increase of fore-aria 1} inches, the average incroase in upper-arm 2} inches. The largest gain in weight for any individual mem- bor of the olass was 10} pounds; the largeat incrensoof chest girth was 74 incnes, and the largest increase of the upper-arm 8§ inches, Under the system arranged and carried out by Lieut. Far- row, the development below the walst is uniform with the developement above it. The transformation of some of the boys at the end of the firat yearis some- times marvelous. From awkward, stooping, shambling boys, hardly capable of a brisk three-mile walk, they become strong, supple, athletio young fellows, capablo of a forced march of twenty-five miles a day for three consecutive days, and performing difficult and seemingly impossible feats on horseback, climbing parapets, mounting scarps, and crossing ditches. In this study, as in all others here, the cadet goes through his lessons with mili- tary procision and discipline, The sec- tions march into the gymnasium,and each man stands erect in line until his turn comes to perform the lessona of the day. No unnecessary talking or shouting is al- lowed, and the cadets are no¢ allowed to poke fun at the awkwardness of a begin- ner. Very frequently some absurd per- formance of a timid fellow makes the in- structor laugh too. The lesson over,each man wn{:l himself up in his overcoat and marches back to his quarte! The exer- cise is divided between recitation hours, and the change stimulates the mind to study. Not since the present gymnasium was started has there been an accident. Care is taken to arrange the mattresses to break the force of a fall. The course In- cludes exersises in running, leaping, jumplnq, wrestling, carrying, and pyra- mid building, ~ The agility displayed by the cadets in the two last-mentioned ex- ercises is astonishing Feats that the New Yorker is accustomed to see only by trained and high-salaried athletes ata circus they Terlorm with apparent ease.

Where They Can Enjoy Pure Air & Water! ) B EAUTIFUL SE E And all of the gond and pleasant things that go to make up a com: plete and happy existence. v The town of South Omaha is situated south of the city of Omahfb' on the line of the U. P. Railway. and it is less than 24 miles from the Omaha post office to the north line of the town site. South Omaha is nearly 14 miles north and south by 24 east: and west, and covers an ares of nearly four square mles, The stock yards are at the extreme southern limit. Nearly 150 lots have been sold and the demand is on the increase The yards are being rapidly pushed to completion. The $60,000 beef packing house is progressing finely. window twenty feet high without putting on any one man & greater iroportion of the strain than he ought to bear. These exercises rank among the most useful in wall-climbing or entering houses. Indian clubs, bumb-bells. bar-bells, weights, vaulung-horses, horizontal bare, rings, the trapeze, and climbing poles are all brought into play in developlng the muscles, Inthis year's class two young men can cloar b feet 44 inches in a run- ning jump, which in more than an inch better than Harvard's last record. Three men can do 4 feet b inches in a standing jump, and two-thirds of the class will not fall far short of the mark. In pole-leap- ing, cadets easily do 8} feet, and they could excel this if the celling was higher- In fact the gymnasium room is a poor place at best—low-roofed and narrow in the cramped basement of a building, A bill 18 before cougress now to approprite $15,000 for a new building and additional appavatus, which, if passed, will enable tho academy to fit up one of the best- aquipped gymnasiums in the country. Lu vaulting, several of the class can easily clear double bucks fifteen feet apart. The cadets all enter the gymnasium with zost and thoroughly enjoy the exercise. After tho first year they are left to their own resources and_enter the gymnasium when they please; but all are thoroughly trained for the more difficult duties of the riding school. Five year men do not. try the live horses until they have become thoroughly at home in any position on the leather backs of the wooden ones in the gymnasium, During the summer months the cadets are nugfihhow to Bwim, how to rescue a drowning person, and the quickest meth- od of restoring the apparently drowned. In last year's class sixty-seven were una- ble to swim a stroke when they reported for their first lesson. Before the sum- mer was over, every one of that namber could swim across the Hudson river from the bath houses near the targets in Washington valley and part of them could swim back again, The riveris three quarters of a mile wide at this point. The cadets are taught all the mo- tions of swimming in the gymnasium during the winter, so that when they get into the water they have comparatively little to learn, OMAHA SAVINGS BANK !
