There is nothing In the agreement between the ascclation and the colonel to compel him to put up $30,000 In purses, or any other amount, but whatever purses are offered the assoclation means to see are pald. Last year we leased the park to Colonel L. S. Hatch, who came finely recommended, and who we supposed was all right. The first day’s re- ceipts wero attached by some horsemen from 8t. Joseph, who had not been pald what was coming to them. We had to take the races in hand from that time on, and pay Colonel Hatch's judge a salary of $50 per day when we could have gotten one just as gocd for $10 a day. Our experience taught us several things, and we are putting our knowledge into use this year. The races last year were very profitable, notwithstanding they were Tun on an extravagant plan. The assoelation made $1,400 out of privileges alone. This year, however, the assoclation will have to make whatever It does make out of the rent, as Colonel Grifin has full control The assoclation has an excellent record, hav- ing had races for fourteen years with never & financial failure. The rent we charge the colonel is very reasonable, and he takes it subject to sale at any tim €. 0. .

Treynor's Revives Reoollections Three Years Old. EXCITING STRUGGLE WITH A THIEF Burgiars Entered the Mouse at Supper Time and One Was Captured—He Threatened to Get Even and Very Likely B The police have a new theory in regard to the Treynor robbery. In the winter of 1892 Treynor's house was entered by burglars while the family was seated at the supper table. Mr. Treynor caught them In the house and captured one of them as he was leaving. While on the front porch they clinched and a rough-and-tumble fight en- sued between the head of the house and the housebreaker. It lasted several minutes, and the porch, which was coveréd with snow, was thoroughly mopped up, first with one and then with the other. The fellow was finally landed in the arms of Officer Claar, who took him to the corner of Broadway and Sixth street and sent in a call for the patrol wagon, There he had another encounter with the fellow, who had to be subdued with the officer’s club. He was tried and con- victed and sent to Fort Madison for three years, At the time he said he would get even with all who had any part In the affair, even the policeman, if it took until his dying day. On the evening of the last burglary Mr. Treynor suggested that it might be that his old friend had come back to carry out his threat, but it was then thought that the man was still serving his sentence. Yester- day Sheriff Hazen returned from a visit to the country, and brought with him the in- formation that Treynor's friend had made several fonths of “‘good time" during his im- prisonment, and was released about a week ago. The two men look very much alike, except- ing that the last one had black hair and eye- brows, instead of light. If he ran across a package of hair dye a transformation of this kind might have been effected. Chief Scan- lan wrote yesterday to the warden of the penitentiary to find out what he knew of the case, and it Is possible that some Inter- esting information may be obtained in a day or two.

Eftorts at Finding the Stolen Sparkler Have Proved Abortive So Far. J. W. Wombold «of Blair, Neb,, who was robbed of a diamond which he values at $176 on the Kansas City road Saturday morn- ing, and Chief Scanlan spent a good share of yesterday making a search of the ground traversed by J. H. Howard, the suspected thiet, when he jumped from the train, but were unable tolocate the sparkler. They are afraid he swallowed it, in which event it may be some days before his digestive organs will yield up their hidden treasures. Both Howard and his pal, Crafton, were taken to a local photographer's establish- ment yesterday afternoon and compelled to sit for their photographs. Bach submitted without a murmur, and a good likeness was taken. Crafton, it is said, 1s just out of the penitentiary a few months. He was convicted of the murder of a girl in Sloux City five years ago, the jury finding him guilty of murder in the second degree. He was sent up for a term of five years, but was pardoned out by the governor last June. Chief Scanlan thinks of asking the city council to make arrangements whereby the likenesses of all hard cases may be taken. A “rogues' gallery,” such as is kept by the police authorities of many large cities, it is claimed, would be of great advantage to the police in ferreting out criminals, and at present the police have no opportunities in that line. J. M. CAMPBELL INDICTED, Latest Chapter In the Sloux City French League Jug Cure Affalr. J. M. Campbell of Council Bluffs was ar- rested yesterday afterncon at Kansas City on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, F. M. Hunter, also a former Council Blufts attorney, now located at Ot- tumwa, was the prosecuting witness. F. M. Hunter, C. C. Cook and J. M. Campbell of this city, B. C. Palmer and George W. Kingsnorth of Sioux City, and W. C. Davis of Omaha were the promoters of the enter- prise, Hunter and Cook some weeks later commenced an action in the district court to recover $5,000 apiece, which they had put into the enterprise. = The court decided agalnst Hunter and Cook. Last week Hun- ter, having failed to secure his $5,000 through a civil action, went before the grand jury in Woodbury county, and, as a result of his testimony, the grand jury returned indict- ments against Kingsnorth, Davis and Camp- bell. Kingsnorth was arrested at his home in Sioux City the same day, and Davis, as mentioned in The Bee yesferday morning, was arrested in Omaha Saturday evening. Ho will go to Sioux City for trial voluntar- ily, waiving the necessity of reaisition. Sargent is Through Involelng And is ready to begin his January sala to make room for spring goods. Remember, Sargent has only two speclal sales a year— January and July. The fact is 50c on the dollar sales in the shoe business every month admits fake ad- vertising, which we never do. You have seen Sargent's business grow year after year, until we hear people say, “Well, if you are not busy, we know there is no business.”” The reason s that we never sell a poor shoe for a good one; mever sell $3.00 shoes for $6.00; never sell the cheapest rubbers and arctics’ for the best, but give you all we can for the price. Sargent has always done lots of business on his special sales, for they don’t come often and they are always business, Remember we shall do little advertising on this sale, but shall make the prices sell the £00ds.

Pty WILSON WILL TALK TARIFF, Does Not Agree with Senators that Busl- ness Will Ho InsafMclent. WASHINGTON, Jan, 20.—A wide range of tarift debate Is expected in the house of representatives this week, at which time it is belleved Chairman Wilson and other tarift leaders of the majority will take occasion to advance thelr views as to the adequacy of the revenue under the new tarlft law. Thus far the tarift discussion has been confined to the senate, where Mr. Hill's proposed amendment to the income tax brought out several speeches urging the grave emer- gency arising from the lack of revenue under the new law. This view Is not shared by Mr. Wilson and his ways and means assoclates of the house. They feel that there is much misapprehension as to the seriousness of the revenue condition. Mr. Wilson has told his associates on the ways and means commit- tee that the revenues requisite for the gov- ernment will undoubtedly be sufficient when the new law is fully In operation. An opportunity to present the house view of the subject will be given when Mr. Wil- £on reports the bill taking off the one-tenth of a cent differential on sugar coming from forelgn countries paying an export bounty. The committee has already authorized the chairman to make a favorable report. It is cxpected that the report will be presented carly next week and that the bill will be made up soon thereafter. Reports from the ways and means committee are privileged, 0 that Mr. Wilson can secure recognition at_any tinre, The action of the ways and means com- mittee upon the bill to increase the tax on beer which has been referred to it will depend largely upon Secretary Carlisle’s opin- fon of the needs of the treasury, Represent- ative McMillan, chairman of the sub-com- mittee to whom' the bill was referred, was at the house today after a few days' absence on account of iliness, He sald that he in- tended to see the secretary of the treasury soon and talk with him on the matter. “The question whether taxes would be placed upon any article not now taxed or whether they will be Increased on any arti- cle already taxed,” sald Mr. McMillan, “‘de- pends upon Secretary Carlisle’s view as to whether the Increase in the revenues which it is evident this year will witness, will reach a point where any additional steps for raising revenue aro unnecessary.” Patents to lowa People. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—(Special)—Towa patents have been issued as follows: Charles and F. Clifford, Muscatine, photographic flash light machine; Fay O. Farwell, as- signor one-half to 'Adams company, Du- buque, combined anvil and vise; Charles C. Gilman, Eldora, paving tile;’ Samuel E. Kurtz, Greenfield, assignor one-half to H.

Seattle Secret Socleties Under the Ban Hold n Mass Meeting. SEATTLE, Wash, Jan, 20.--A monster meeting of the American Protective associ- ation and affiliated secret societies gath- ered at the armory to denounce the pope's bull in reference to their organization. Fully 3,000 people were in attendance and at times broke out into the wildest en- thusiasm. The speakers were Rev. John F. Damon, the pioneer preacher of Puget sound; John Bushel of the Sons of Tem- perance and G. W. Van Fossen of Tacoma, state president of the American Protective assoclation. Another ~meeting has been called for next Sunday at the Masonic temple. —— Robbers Did a Complete Job. TOLEDO, Jan. 20.—A robbery in true Bill Cook style was perpetrated in a populous part of this city last evening. Shortly after 9 o'clock two masked men entered the gro- cery store of Willlam McGuthrie, on Oak street, and, pulling three revolvers on the proprietor, ‘his wife and a customer, -pro- ceeded to help themselves to the cash in the till. The drawer was locked, but the robbers compelled the astonished grocery- man to open it instanter. The money se- cured, they searched the pockets of the pro- prietor and his customer, obtaining in all about_$180. The two robbers then disap- peared. The police have no clew. ——————— Cotton Palace Burned Down. WACO, Tex., Jan, 20.—The Texas Cotton palace was destroyed by fire tonight, caus- ing a loss of between $50,000 and $70,000 to the Palace assoclation, The exposition closed early In December and the enterprise proved such a success that the palace was to have been reopened this year, Owing to the highly inflammable material of which the exposition’s large auditorium was con- structed, the fire made terrific headway, and within half an hour from the time of ignit- ing the structure presented a dismal mass of ashes and brick. Insurance on Cotton pal 20,000, ——————— Glass Works Resume After Ten Years. SANDWICH, Miss., Jan Fires will be started Monday morning in the plant of the Sandwieh glass works, which have been idle almost ten years, Repairs will be made and everything be put in shape for oper- ating the works at once.

MEANS MUCH FOR: NE SIDE ' Important 8nit for lbxblm"‘ow Pending in Towa's Supreme Oourt. CAUSE ANTEDATES RATE:RZGULA'[ION Tsane Gatton Sues to Recover from the Rock Island for Excessive Charges Collected Prior to 1887—Ottumwa Train Rob- bers Caught In Missouel. ) ' DES MOINES, Jan. 20.—(Special.)—An im- portant railway case has just been argued in the supreme court of this state, and what- ever the decision the United States supreme court is likely to be called upon for the final adjudication of it. It is entitled Isaac Gatton against Chicago, Rock Island & Pa- cific Railway company, and comes from the Jasper district court, where the decision was in favor of the railway company. Plain- tift represents shippers whose Interests he acquired, and sues to recover damages for alleged unjust discriminations in freight charges made before the interstate com- merce law or lowa frelght law went into effect. His claim is that under the old common law such discriminations were for- bidden. ' Defense is that no such common law, or application of it, can be found or sustained, There are sald to be many sim- flar cases awaiting the final decision in this one. If the rallways are defeated it will mean a large amount of money to the ship- pers, and may seriously cripple the rail- ways. Plaintift_shows a strong opinion on his side by Judge Shiras of the federal conrt, and defense brings an equally positive one in opposition by Judge Grosscup, also of the federal court. The clalms are all based on_shipments from lowa points to Chicago. Nearly every city of any importance in this state has started subscriptions for re- lief of tho drouth sufferers in western Ne- braska, and the aggregate amount from this state will be something enormous. Perhaps Oskaloosa has done the best so far, having already forwarded over 200 tons of 'coal, besides a large amount of money and provisions. Des Moines s doing the usually generous thing in this respect, and her subscriptions will foot up several thou- sand dollars, The railways started out to carry all conl and provisions free for Ne- braska rellef, but are now “sorry that they spoke,” the demand on them being much greater than they anticipated. In this city thirty-five cars loaded are standing on the tracks walting for the rallways to move them. They all refused at first, saying they had done their share, but the Northwestern and Burlington have agreed to take part of it it tho Rock Island will do its share. It is probable the cars will be moved shortly. SUFFERINGS OF AN IOWA FAMILY. The Bee, published at Jefferson, capital of Green county, Towa, says: “A pitifully sad story of loss and suffering by fire comes from Grant township. Mr. J. H. Baldrige and family, who have lately returned to this county from Grant, Neb., and are spending the winter on the place belonging to Alfred Lamb, located three miles southeast of this city, were sitting at breakfast last Friday morning, when the house caught fire under the flor, and in spite of ‘their best efforts burned fo the ground.. There were nine children In the household, and some of these got thoroughly chilled before: they reached a place of refuge, freezing their fingers in at- tempting to help father and mother carry out the household goods. There was no in- surance. Absolute destitution stared the tamily in the face, and Messrs. Alfred Lamb and Horace Bennett came to Jefferson Mon- day and clrculated a subseription paper among our business mep with so much suc- cess that they will be able to place upwards of $43 In the hands of these sufferers by fire, which will enable them -to. pluck up heart and go on their way once more encouraged. It is a mercy that the fire did not break out in the night, as in that cace some of the children must_have perished. The Baldrige family are finding temporary quarters in the hospitable home of their relatives, the J. E Franklin household.” .. TRAIN ROBBERS ARRESTED. Ever since the robbery of‘an express train on the Burlington road near Ottumwa a week ago, in which it is supposed sbout $12,000 was obtained, that vicinity lhas swarmed with P'nkerton and railway detec- tives. The officers suspectad the robbers were ex-railway employes, from their evident fa- miliarity with: the operations of the train- men, and have been acting on the theory that they would attempt to escape into Mis- souri along the line of the Wabash railway, It was learned that a Wabash engineer named Bullett, running between Ottumwa and Mo- berly, had met two men in Ottumwa the morning following the robbery, and had given them a meal on their claim that they were “broke.” They were ex-brakemen, named Ely and Bateman. In a few hours he met them again, when Ely pulled out a roll of bills and repaid him. He asked Ely where he got the money 50 soon after claiming to ba “broke,” but got no gatisfaction. This aroused the engineer’s suspicions, and when Bateman ‘and Ely went to Moberly he de- termined to keep them under surveillance. As good luck would have it, Bullett oc- cupled a flat in Moberly, and soon after. their arrival in Moberly the two brakemen rented a room from Bullett and his wife, Last Fri- day morning before leaving home Bullett heard the two men quarreling in an adjolning room over a division of money. Bullett went to Ottumwa and told his story, whereupon a message was sent to Moberly, asking the operator there if any arrests had been made. He replied that two men named Bateman and Kilgland, ex-Wabash brakemen, had been ar- rested in a notorious resort in Moberly, after a desperate fight, and landed In jaii, and iould "be brought o Offumwa for ‘examina- tion. TROUBLES OF COAL MINERS, The mild winter weather has so lessened the demand for coal that the mines in most localities have been running only about half time, and the competition has been so sharp that’ the operators have reduced the prices for coal, and also for digging. This has led to a great deal of trouble among the em- ployes, who claim they cannot live at the re- duced wages and amount of work. The most serious trouble reported was at Centerville st week. Three hundred angry men gath- ered about the Natfonal Coal company’s plant for the purpose of persuading or compelling the dozen men there employed at the reduced price to quit work. They were stopped by Superintendent Baker, who told them if any one attempted to trespass upon the property they would have to be carried off. So they re- mained in the vicinity to await developments, and when the men came out from work a committce of five held a conference with them. They agreed to quit work until the question of wages was settled, but on their way home were collared by the mob outside the works and forced inside a circle, when they were threatened, jabused and cursed in a dozen different tongues., A Mr. Bishop, in particular, was singled out for their especial villification. After & quapter of an hour of shameful insult he was, told that it he aid not leave town within two hours he would be tarred and feathered, perhaps worse. He sald: “I am a poor man and In debt, and have a large family to support; for the last two months I have beep able to find but little, 1t Any, Work, and noy whpn 1 Bave an (b portunity to work every, day, and, with the aid of my son, to mu&e‘ §3 per day for the support of my needy fawily, I intend to do so. I won't leave the fown on account of the threats of anybody, bt will continue to do my duty toward thosg who depend upon me for a living.” Since then no further trouble has been reported, and' it j& probable a settle- ment has been reached by ‘which all the min- ers have gone to work af the reduced rate. SINGULAR EXPERIENCE. A dispatch from Belmond, Ia., says: Rev. Mr. DeWall, whose recent insanity was fol- lowed closely by the accidental death of his aged mother, had a singular experience shortly after his mother's death. He had been out of his mind all of the time—and of course knew absolulgly nothing of the accident. That morning he was sleeping soundly and his wife told the writer that a change was taking place in his condition for better or worse. . He slept through all of the excitement consequent upon the family hearing of the gecident, in & quiet room In the evening Rev. Mr. Butts, frim Hamp- ton, was sitting with him when he slowly opened his eyes, and £ald to the brother “Is that you, Brother Butis? Call my wife: I havs something £ood to tell you and her, call her quick!” Whep she reached the bedside, he said: “ls that you? Are ou my wife? DeWall answered, “Yes; don't you eee I am here?” He sald A mist seemed to hide her from him, but he could see her presently. He then told them his mother was dead, and gave them a beautiful account of a most glorious vision which he saw while he slept. He was seem- ingly In the other world among a throng of such beautiful people, among whom was his mother, who had that morning reached the palace; everything wae so bright and delightful, But he was told he could not remain; that he must come back for awhile, for there were those who needed his care.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—This to be a busy week in the house. gram arranged by the committee on rules before the departure of Speaker Crisp for Asheville, N. C., last night contemplates the consideration of the public building bills on the calendar, to be followed by the appropriation bills now under consideration, the sundry civil and the agricultural bills. promises The pro- The committee on rules, after much urging, | decided to bring in a cloture rule to secure a vote on the bill for a new public building at Chicago to cost $4,000,000. be given tomorrow for the consideration of the measure, after which a vote on the bill will be taken. The improvements for the New York building are provided for in the sundry civil bill. The other public building bills are: Newport, Ky., $100,0000; Cumber- land, Md., §75,000; South Omaha, Neb., $200,- 000; Paterson, N. J., $250,000; Brookline, Mass,, $75,000, and Pottsvalle, Pa., $60,000. The program, as arranged for the week, may be subject to change in case Mr. Springer, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, decides before the end of the week to bring forward his new meas- ure, He has been in constant consultation with Secretary Carlisle for the past week and s very sanguine that concessions cary b mado to the silver men which will induce them to withdraw their opposition. On y terday he expressed the opinion that he would bring forward the modified bill this week and that it would pass. This opinion, howeve not generally shared by the democratic lea ers of the house, most of whom do not hesitate to say they believe all hope of cur- reney legislation at this session Is dead. 1t is also possible the resolution for the impeachment of Judge Ricks may be before the house before the end of the week, but the fact that the committee on judiciary de- cided Friday to reopen the case is interpreted to mean a delay which will render any at- tempt to push the case against him at this session abortive. Next Saturday by a special order will be set aside for eulogies on the late Senator Colquitt of Georgla. It is not improbable for Mr. Boutelle to attempt to secure consideration of his Ha- wailan resolution, and thus a debate on this subject be precipitated in some form, IN THE SE Hawall and the Income Tax Will Recelve Some Attentlon. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The prospect in the senate this week is for more talk than accomplishment, When the senate adjourned yesterday the senate's attitude toward Hawall, the proposed recession from the senate amendments to the income tax ap- propriation and the Nicaragua bill all occu- pied in the different ways, technically con- sidered, the position of unfinished busin: The income tax will have the right of way by virtue of its being a part of an appr priation bill. The Hawalian question will, in all probability, be considered in the morning hour Monday, if not crowded out by the debate on the income tax. There are known to be several senators, most, if not all, of them on the republican side, anxious to express their views on the Hawalian problem, and, judging from their private expressions, the remarks to be made will in some instances be very pointed. Senator Hill is also expected to stand out for his income tax amendment. The Nicaraguan question still holds its place at the head of the calendar for con- sideration daily after 2 o'clock. Senator Morgan said today that he was still hopeful of securing a vote on the bill before the close of the week, but if there should be many Interruptions he may be disappointed. Senator Turpie has the floor for a reply to Mr. Morgan, and it is expected he will make a characteristic speech. There will also be other addresses on this subject be- fore the vote Is finally taken. Senator Cockrell expects to ask to have the fortifications appropriation bill taken up as soon as the urgent deficlency bill is out of the way and thinks there will be no diffi- culty in getting it through during the week. The friends of the bankruptey and terri- torial admission bills are growing anxious concerning the fate of those measures, and are beginning to be apprehensive that time may not be left for their consideration If the Nicaraguan bill be not soon disposed of. The present prospect is against the ar- rival of the financial and currency question in the senate during the week, but much will depend upon the action of the finance committee Tuesday, and also upon the atti- tude of the house of representatives. Compensation to Crow Creek Indlans, WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The Indian af- fairs committee of the house has author- ized favorable action on a bill appropriating $187,000 to compensate the Crow Creek, Da- kota, reservation Indians for loss sustained in recefving less land per capita In their diminished reservation than Is received by Indians occupying other diminished reser- vations.
