BARTLEY GOING FAST PACE Ceniuot Kille Any Ohanoes Bondsmen Have of 8ecuring & Release. UNIVERSITY'S TRIBUTE TO MISS SMITH Fallure to Select Exeine Candidates at First Primaries Leaves O City Republican Polities in a Serlous Mu: (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 22.—(Special.)—"The in- terview with Joseph 8. Bartley, the de- faulting state treasurer, as published in The Bee this morning," sald a prominent member of the legislature, “stamps him as & man of more gall and brazenness, I won't say nerve, and with less decency than any man I ever saw. By that interview he has more than ever cemented sentiment against hi! It and his bondsmen. # for Bartley and his bondsmen being released from their obligation by the legis- lature, I think there is no possible chance for that. 1 was told some time ago that a considerable sentiment had been de- veloped n favor of ¢l resolution which has been prepared for their release, and 1 took pains to investigate it myself. 1 find absolutely no sentiment in favor of such a move In my part of the legisiature and it is my opinion that the resolution will never be Introduced. Bartley's own action during this session of the legislature has done much to create & sentiment against him. Many nights recently he has been seen intoxicated in the hotels frequented by legislators. He plays the part of a good fellow and those who will may joln him in bis revels. That is the life that Joe Bartley, once re- epected and honored, is leading to sear his own comscience to prevemt it from pricking bim for the crime he has done his state and friends. Golng the Pace that Kille, Bartley is going the pace that kills, and according to the history of the lives of those of his stripe, there is every reason to belleve that some day his bralp, de- bauched with liquor, his physical body a wreck, his consclence goading him onward, Joe Bartley will tell the people of Nebraska who it was that got part of the money he embezzled. . Memorial for Miss th. In Memorial hall of the State university at 2 o'clock this afternoon, friends at. tested their love for Miss Ellen Smith by the number in which they attended the funefal services over her remalns. The services were conducted by _Rev. Lewis Gregory and Dr. E. J. Tuttle, and each bore testimony to the good she who had done, and of her great help id taken in all its degrees of ad- vancements, during the long number of years she was conneoted with it. The hon- urary pall bearers were Professors Her- man, Fossler, Barber, Leese, Bruner and Nicholson. The active pall bearers wero C. O. Chase of Omaha; Max Westerman, A. W. Feld, Prof. H. B. Ward, Will Owen Jones and J. Stuart Dales. Mies Smith was a part, and her memory will always be a part of the State uni- versity. Today In every part of the city there are being told incidents of her life tending to show her great love for truth and ber exactness in all the details of her work. 8he stood not lu awe of any of the great men who have béen chancellor of the university, and it is told of her that she would as soon correct the chancelior it she believed he was not carrying out the gstablished rules of the institution as she would the freshest freshman. There are faapy university graduates today scattered throughout various states of the unjon who will vividly recall the time when they were batore Miss Snrith at her réquest, to show cause why they were not up to the standard they should be in their studies. Miss-Smith @8 registrar kept the standing of the stu- dents and it is sald that o Interview with her was sufficient to make the student ton the mark during the remainder of the year., She bas done good work for the state of Nebraska” and for the people of braska. Last night O. C. Bell was ap- pointed administrator of her estate and a hasty examination of her possessions was made. The examination showed that while Miss Smith had not accumulated a largc amount of this world’s goods, she had laid ‘by suficlent to keep her, should she have become incapacitated for work. A year ago ibe alumni ralseC an objection to the re- tirement of Miss Smith as registrar be- eauste the members feared that she would be dependent. It was the intention of the alumn! that should Miss Smith retire, she should become the corresponding secretary of the alumnl at a salary sufficient to en- #ble her to live comfortably the remainder of her life. ‘The remains were taken to the old home of the deceased in Ohlo for interment. Muddle in City Politics. The primary held last Tuesday which named the republican candidate for mayor, has left the republican party in rather & muddled and disfigured condition. And all because a second primaty board was not selected at the same time. Next Tues- day a second primary will be held for this purpose, The trouble which makes tho victory of the county machinery and in- cfdentally the Burlington rallroad, perbaps a dear one, the fact that it falled to oArry out the pledges made to the labor unions, in order to secure the labor vote for Adams. It 1s asserted that the machine agreed to land Hoskins, the Jabor candidate tor membership on the exclse board, providing the labor unfons d1d all in their power to name Adams for mayor. That the latter s —r——— AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. What Postum Did There. A well known figure at the Natlonal Capital is that of an attorney-at-law and solieitor of patents, who has been practie- ing before the courts and the Department of the Interior at Washington for more than 25 years. The experience of this gentle- man with coffee i» unusnally interesting for it proves that although the {ll results from coffee are slow they are sure. He says: “I have consumed coffee at my meals for many years, but of late years have been annoyed by deranged stomach and sle lessness, pains In my confusion of the About 1§ months ago 1 quit coffee and commenced to use Postum Food Coffee and have experienced the most pleasing and beneficial results therefrom. “It has alded my digostion, increased my appetite for Ithy food, appeased my stamach, Invigorated my brain, cleared and quisted merves and mind, and enabled me to sleep soundly § hours out of the 24. It has imparted buoyency and cheerfulness to my daily life and caused me to look on the bright side of things in general. It has ftted me to do more brain work than ever ‘I look on Postum as an absolute cure for the ilis that coffee causes. It not omly THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: kept thelr ple s attested by the that In those warde wherein most of t! Iaboring people reside, Adams received a large majority of the vote. That the ma- chine falled to keep its agreement is at- tested by the fact that in the ‘‘church wards,” wherein the silk stockings reside, Hoskins recelved less than ome-half of the vote cast for Adams. Now all of this is very galling to the laboring people, and they are just now wondering very seriously whether they will again be turned down next Tuesday. The fact that the excise board was mot named last Tuesday places the winners of the mayotalty contest in a most peculfar position. They supported ‘Adams on a plat- form pledged to a high saloon license. Now they are called upon to keep an agreement and support men known to favor the $1,000 license for excisemen. And It the machine falls to land Hoskine, the labor candidate, then it Is more than probable that the labor vote will not go to the republican candidates at the glection. For the labor- ing men say they are not to be trified with. Machine in Tight Place. There is ground for the statement that the machine has been very quiet since the nomination of Adams and has left Hos- kins to get his votes the best way he can. 8o patent has this been that the labor element has demanded that the machine do something or say it will not. So, at last the machiné has started out in an attempt to land Hoskins. Both Wolfe and Hosking refused to draw off when a com- promise was offered whereby ome of the Winnett men was to withdraw provided e machine withdrew one of its candidates. fe refused because he had been the can- didate of the labor unions, and has been promised, so it is sald. Now it is up to the machine, for it is not likely that both can apparently are One Winnett man and one machine man can be elected, for that will mean the retention of the high license. And if either Wolfe or Hoskins is defeated it will mean the weakening of the machin In the meantime, owing to the fact that considerable feeling has been engendered by the primary, a very extraordinary and somewhat sensational story has been set afloat. This is to the effect that the Com- merclal club, which wi n ardent supporter of Winnett, was largely responsible for the action of the Lancaster delegation in throwlug down the people of Lincoln and other cities and standing squarely for the railrcads on the question of taxing ter- minal properti or municipal purposes. It is sald that when the members of the Com- mercial club discovered that representatives of the Burlington railroad Intended to make a vigoreus fight on Winpett, that some of the members of the Commercial club made thiy agreement: That 1f Mr. Bignell would draw off and leave the citi- zens of Lincoln to fight {t out among themselves that the club would withdraw its pressure from the Lancaster delega- tion in regard to the teiminal taxation question and allow the delegation and the rallroads to settle it among themselves Whether this was true or not, Mr, Bignell suddenly recelved a hunch to stop his open fight. A prominent member of the club, when asked 1t regard to the matter, sald it was absolutely fi and that no such agreement was made or thought of. The Lancaster delegation threw down the people and when the Commercial club found that it could get no assistance from the delegation, it gave un the fight for terminal taxation and quit. However, there are some in Lincoln who belleve the story. Thus far the democrats of the city have not named a date for thelr nominating convention apparently waiting for the re- publicans to get all settled before making a mov It is more than likely that if Hoskins s deféated Tuesday he or, rathe the labor unions, will be able to do con- siderable toward naming the democratic candidates. " Gives Lincoln a Show. A meeting somewhat gruesome was that of the state demonstrators held here last week. demonstrators are represent- tives of the medical colleges of the state. One question raised was that the Lincoln coliege had not received its share of the unclalmed dead bodies which had been cir- culated around. To make up for this and to give the Lincoln students a chance at the dead, the other institutions agreed to keep their hands off of all dead bodles com- ing college-way until after April 1. This was satisfactory and tbe members present proceeded to elect the following officers: Dr. E. A, Carr, president; Dr. E. C, Heory, Omaha, vice president; Dr. Wolsott, Lin- colp, secretary; Dr. Van Camp, treasurer. The demonstrators desire a ohaage in tue body-getting law to strike out of the clause “relatives and friends” the word “friends,” designating who ' shall legally olaim the body. The demonstrators say smuch ‘will be held in an enclosu and the committes promises that all exhibi- tions will be legitimate amusements, not deviating from ethical rectitude. The fol- lowing compose a managing committes J. C. Willlams, H. C. Hansen, C. B. Higin- botham, John Henty, George Kimball.

The deceased was a highly respected Swede, who formerly lived in Platte county and who built a residence and moved to this town about a year ago. Mr. Thorson had not been known to touch liquor for about ten yes but he returned from a trip to Columbus Friday afternoon intoxi- cated.

UNIFORMED BANDITS APPEAR Surround Philippine Towns, Capture and Disarm Defending Troops. MANILA, Feb. 22.——A force of ladrones under San Miguel reappeared in Rizal pro- vince yesterday. They avolded an engage- ment with the main force in the south, but captured three small detachments of constabular) THhe enemy surrounded the towns of Cainta and Taygoar, eleven mil east of Manila on Saturday and captured thirty scouts and ten men of the constabu- lary, whom they disarmed and set free. Today Inspector Mcllwaine, at the hes of ten constabulary, was surprised and tured near Montalban, sixteen miles north- st of Manile. The ladrones promised to release them if the constabulary would surrender their arms. While they wers conferring on this point, Mcllwalne made a dash for llberty and he and all the con- stabulary effected their esca When the news of the reappearance of General San Miguel's force reached Maniia reinforcements of scouts and constabulary were hurried into Rizal province. General Allen and Colonel Scott went to Antipolo and assumed command of the forces there, They met with small detachments of the enemy and a few skirmishes took place. They were unable to locate the main body of ladrones, but continued the pursult ahd hope to overtake the released prisoners. 1t 1d that Genearl San Miguel's force consists of 300 men, armed and uniformed. The zone of ladrome activity extends from Caloocan, four miles north of Manila, east- ward to the mountains of Rizal and skirt- ing the northern limits of Manila. ‘he Manila police. co-operated in Satur- 's efforts to corner the enemy. Secre- tary Winthrop, in the absence of Gowernor Taft, requested General Davis to furnish additional scouts and General Davis has ordered another battallon to report to Gen- eral Allen. It Is expected that additional troops will be orderel out. San Miguel's force is small and the gov- ernor s determined to suppress it. San Miguel claims the insurgent leadership and fights under the Katthunan fl According to news from Albay, Luzod, a force of ladron tacked a small detach- ‘| ment of constabulary on Friday. The con- stabulary retreated, leaving two, but killed eleven of the enemy.

D., Feb. 22.—(8pecial.)— The Black Hills Mining Men's assoclation on Thureday evening last held one of the most interesting of a long meries of fn- teresting meetin; Prot. C. W. Mer- rill, who has applied with such success the cyanide treatment to the tallings from the Homestake quartz mills, read a paper describing the character and treatment of the Homestake ores, with especial refer- ence to the effect and cost of the cyanide treatment on the same. The paper has aroused a great deal of interest among the mihing men of the Hills, for the success which Prof. Merrill has made of that process in its application to the tallings of the Homestake ores has made everyone Interested in mines in the Hills anxious to learn a little more of his methods than the fact that they are successful. The American Mining congress will meet in Deadwood and Lead on October 7 to 11 of this year, and the Biack Hills Mining Men's assoclation ts doing everything In power to make it the success which it de- serves to be. A special Invitation has been sent by the assoclation to President Roosevelt to become, for at least one day, the guest of the assoclation during the meeting of the congress, and it is probable that the president will accept the Invita- tion. The invitation, which was forwarded to Washington on Saturday last, is in- scribed on ab of 18-carat gold. The gold ‘was produc nd rolled in the Black Hilla, and the engraving upon it is a work of art. It is unique as an invitation, and aside from its artistic work, has an Intrinsic value of several hundreds of dollars. The association is hard at work prepar- ing for the coming meeting of the con- gress, and when the date arrives for its convening the citles of Lead and Deadwood will be well prepared to handle as large & crowd as can be brought into the country. All of the expenses of the meeting have been provided for, and there will be noth- ing lacking in the way of money, hotel ac- commodations, ete. Doubles ‘Its Force, Bdward Hanechka has doubled the force of miners on the Hogan & ’Anderson ground on Elk creek. Recent developments on the ground show that the veln, which uck In the shaft at a depth of fifty ows with depth, The former owners of the ground had run a 235-foot tunnel on the ground, and had been driving it paral- lel to the vein, mever being any further than twenty-five feet from it. Mr. Hanschka when he took possession of the property abandoned work in the shaft, and entered the tunnel. He started a drift to the west from the end of the tunnel, and had not driven it twenty feet before he encountered the vein. He is now in on the vein twenty feet bas not found the wall. THe vein 1s struck at this point 176 feet below the bottom of the fifty-foot shaft. The ore here carrles values which will average from the numerous assays which have been mads from it of $16 a ton, although much richer specimens have been taken from the work- ings. It is the intention just so soon as the vein has been crossed to establith a station and then start drifting both ways elong the course.of the vein, and after the drifts have been driven far enough to get out of the way of the workmen, to be- gin on a shaft and continue it down for 800 feet. Boarding houses, blacksmith shops and offices have been bullt on the ground during the past week, and with the beginning of the coming week a large force of men will be working on the development of the ground, which is one of the best propositions in one of the richest free milling districts of the Black Hils. This property was eold only a few weeks ago for $30,000, and hed the ownars of it in- clined the tunnel in which they had put #0 many years of labor just a little to the West, they would never have had any ocea- elon to sell it for so small & sum. Mr. Hanschka, the purchaser of the prop~rty, says that he will at once make arran ments for the erection of & 100-ten crushing cyanide plant on the property, for by the time the plant is ready to rum, the ground will be opened up suficiently to guarantee a constant supply of ore. The Fllender strike, which is near this ground, is continub to show rich ore, and In larger quantities with the development. They had been working in an overflow from the veln, but following the ore a little ways up the bill they found where it turned dowh into the slates, and the vein at this point is eighteen feet wide, and cartis high values as where It was struek in the overfiow. The other properties in this vi- cinity are showing up well. Wil Ereet a Cyanide ML The Gladiator Gold Mining company has About completed arrangements for the erection of a 100-ton wet-crushing cyanide mill, which will be located on the com- pany'e ground in Deadwood gulch, one mile above Central Ofty. The lumber for the mill has been delivered on the ground and the work of framing the timbers for the mill will begin just as soon as it is pos- sible to work on the outside. The Glad- jator's ground is located on the phonoll belt and has the same vein which runs through the Pennsylvania. The develop- ment of the mine is belng rushed in an- ticipation of the completion of the mill and is even mow In shape to break out ore. The mine will equipped with & complete hoisting and air compressor plant and power drills. These have been ordered and should be installed and in operation within a few weeks. The Red Cloud group of elaims, owned by the same company, s being developed and ore will be furnished the mill from both the Gladiator and Red Cloud, which are separated only by & few hundred feet. The Gladiator company has & large acreage of ground in this vicinity and it Is sald has produced some phenome- pally rich ore. The Jupiter company's mill on Blatktall will be ready to starc up on the firet of the month, and the company has alteady began breaking ground in Blacktall gulch and has it very well developed, In fact, it has had more work done upon it than property in the district, and has a v amount of ore exposed in the various Tk ings.* The ore is s cement, ani while It will free mill to sbout 40 per cent of its assay values, it has proven to be bettér as & oyanide proposition. THe new mill fs & 150-ton cyanide plant, wet crushing, and has been bullt along the latest lines, N Shut Down Mine and Keep Mum, Work has been temporarily sucpended in the Horseshoe mill at Pluma and-its smel- ter at Rapid Oity. The work on the com- pany's mines, however, is being kept up and the people who are interested in the property do mot seem to be willing to give out & statement for the closing down of ite treatment plants, just after the new man- agement kas taken charge.

It is ™ however, that 80 soon as things can b tened out by thé new management that operations in the mill and smelter and work on the company’s blg cyanide plant at Terry will be resumed. The Potsdam Mining company In the Ragged Top a fct has lately increased the force of miners at work on its ground and fs getting things In shape for the erection of a big mill in the spring. The ground of this company is close to that of the Spearfish and the Deadwood- Standard, and it is said the eame ore shoots run through both properties.

MONEY QUESTION PRESSING Carrency Leglislation Most Important Need of the Philippine Islnnds. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Feb. 22.—Luke E. Wright, vice governor of the Philip- pines, in Chattanooga today, em route to Washington. Mr. Wright, discussing Philippine matters, sald he considered pend- the monetary ing legisiation comcorning standard for the Philippine: teduction of tari® the most at present for the development of the fsl- ands. “At present,” he sald, “the value of specie is vacillating, and this seriously embar- rasses trade and destroys confidence in the government.” Governor Wright further sald the islands are completely pacified, and no trouble has oceurred of a serious nature for some time, except in a small district of the Moham- medan island of Mindanso. Civil govern- ment is supreme, and (he people generally contented with the present regime. As to the prevalence of cholera, he sald it is confinéd almost enmtirely to the na- tives, on whom no sanitary measures can be enforced, and it is being rapidly and thoroughly stamped out. On the subject of “military atrocities,” the vice governor declined to talk except to eay that he knew of no such cruelties as had boen charged and, of course, having nothing to 40 with that branch of the gov- ernment, he felt sure that reports had been exaggerated. American soldiers had been compelled to undergo many hardships and suffered numerous indignities at the hands of the rebelllous nativeés, 80 far as he knew ha@t acted with remarkable forbear- ance and consideration. “I am of the opinion,” said he, “that the islands will from this on, prosper and thrive. Already the best people among the natives are looking with favor on American methods, and with the development of busi- ness and industry and spread of education among the rural population J expect to see the Filipinos under the American flag be- come a contented, bappy and prosperous people."” HOTEL VICTIMS WILL RECOVER Ne More D Expected as Result of Big Cedar Rapids Blaze.
