On his arrival there on account of his ability to speak Epanish fluently he got a position with a surveying corps doing raflroad work. An joined the Insurgents, remaining with them for a long time. It seems that they re- celved no regular pay, but looted & bank or town when short of funds and divided the proceeds, principally amcng the brigadier generals and colonels, who composed the force, and the cook, who was an inportant functionary.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., June 28.—(Spe- clal)—John Butala, a painter, employed on the new Burlington bridge which spans the Missourl river at this point, had an exciting experlence vesterday afternoon, which came very nearly costing him his Iite. He and several other men were at work on a scaffold painting the bottom cord of the bridge at the tima the accident oc- curred. A plank which was Iylng on the tles above was jarred loose in some man- ner and as it fell it struck one,of the iron crosspleces and bounded against Butala's head, stunning the latter and causing him to fall from the scaffold nto the swiftly- flowing current below, a distance of about thirty feet.

The indignant uprising of a community, and some of the best men in it, to avenge a wrong of such awful magnitude, may be technically lawless, but the spirit which caused the uprising is the refiection of u higher civilization. There are crimes so dreadful that the pure, and chivalrous, and the strong find it well-nigh impossible to endure the thought that such a degenerate should pollute the earth by his presence. It is easy to theorize about the anarchy of mob law, but the same hand which penned the calm editorial might be the first to grasp the torch if it was a mother, wife or daughter who was the victim. 1 say that when you look at a lynching from another viewpoint, it is simply the bursting forth of an indignation and loath- ing that will not be checked. In the Old Testament days they made short work of such an offender. Lynching is certainly a bad method and forms the habit of disorder and makes men bloodthirsty. But if it is to be avoided, there certainly is called for a more sure and speedy trial of these wretches, who often brazenly deny crime amid red tape of legal process, but confess abjectly when confronted with determined men. It is use- lets to bring to trial good men who rise up to protect their firesides. The com- munity will not hear it.

The president does not care particularly for {he formal dinners of state, which he is ex- pected to glve every 80 often to his cabinet, the judiciary and the diplomatic corps. He Ilkkes best to entertain a half-dozen or a Jozen of his friends, who are selected with a gorupulous regard for the proprieties, and with these as his guests the president is lost In the man, and his dinners and lunch- eons have really become famous for their perfection of detall, and their culinary art! Plans Western Game Dianers. The president enjoys game dinners. He is £6nd of terrapin, hugely enjoys a blue wing teal, a mallard or & canvasback, and now and then when he likes to get back into the 014 life of the plains and the mountains has a bear steak cooked to a turn. From a friend of the Roosevelt family it is learned that he pays from $600 to 350 a month to one market man who supplies the larder of the White House with game and meats. From this same source it Is learned that the president contemplates a series of unigue dinners next winter to which will be invited the men With whom he was as- soclated not cnly on his hunting trips in the west, but when he was a plainsman in South Dakota and Wyoming. These din- ners will be made up largely of game from the sections with which the president be- came famillar in his younger days. To the game courses will be added other features of the sections which he visited in his re cent tour of the western states. And the resources of these states are to be ple- turesquely served. During his recent swing around the circle he told many of the prominent men with whom he touched el- bows that the White House next winter would be wide open, and that he proposed to see to it that the men who had shown him marked attentions on his recent long tour would have similar attentions shown them in the capital city of the nation Cannon is Not Talking. Joseph G. Cannon, the taciturn, as he has come to be regarded since he is the only candidate for the speakership, has been the subject of much inquiry from Wash- ington correspondents as to what he will do with committeeships when he is elected speaker of the national house of represen- tatives. But foxy Mr. Cannon has yet to give any direct intimation as to what his course will be relative to the chairmanships of the prominent committees. To those un- famillar with the course of legislation it is a subject of wonder why chairmanships are already being Oiscussed. To those who know, however, how vital a chairmanship {8 in the making of legislation it is no won- der, tor already Mr. Cannon is being be- sought on all sides by members of congress for recognition on Important committees. It s confidently believed that in the last three months Mr. Cannon has recelved a letter from almost every member of the Fifty-elghth congress setting forth what the member would like to have in the way of committee places. Cannon's closest friends assert that he has never divulged a single thought that might be interpreted as mean- ing who will be selected for cholce places or what his general polioy in making as- signments will be. When Speaker Reed first assumed. contro of the house he exerted a great deal of Jiberty In making committee assignments in accordance with his ideas as to the pro- priety of designating to certain places the men he had elected. Precedent counted only when in his judgment the best men, or the one for all reasons considered, hap- pened to be In the line of preferment. After Mr. Reed had once made committee assign- ments he followed to & very large degree matters of precedent In other house reor- ganizations. For Support of Roosevelt. In the case of Mr. Cannon it is expected by those who know him best that he will, to & considerable extent, ignore the present standing of members on committees. He will look for men on whom dependeng: can be placed in the earrying o=t of ghlicles approved by him in a general way, #nd also approved by the president, for the fresident and Mr. Cannon will have a thorough un- derstanding as to what the fifty-elgh\h con- gress shall do, for the fifty-eighth congress and its work will be subject of praise and eriticism in the impending presidential cam- palgn of 194. In the makeup of the ap- propriations committee Mr. Cannon will use his best judgment and it is confidently \ex- \ mapped out, he is not likely to conflde it to anyone Ready for a Fight in Chin Admiral “Bob” Evans, sometimes desig- nated as “Fighting Bob,". who is in com- mand of the Asiatic squadron of the Amer- fcan navy, has seen At to rendesvous his ships near the Chinese port of Chee Foo. As usual, the Navy department hastens to explain that the assemblage of a powerful American fleet in forelgn waters has abso- lutely nothing to do with impending troub- les in China. Fortunately, or otherwise, the annual appearance of the cholera and the bubonic plague has broken out in the Philippines, and thus an excuse is found for getting American ships away from Ma- nilla. But, on the other hand, the Amer- ican minister in China and American con- suls in various parts of the empire, have re- ported to the State department quite fre- quently of late that there are many symp- tome of outbreaks of the anti-foreign ele- ment of the Chinése population. A repe- tition of the Boxer troubles of three years ago 1s daily expected and the United States proposes to take no chances. Admiral Bv- ans has at his disposal a large force of marines, and American marines have proved their fighting qualities many times within the last few years, and in addition he can within forty-elght hours from the outbreak of trouble embark 3,00 American soldiers at Manila without nerfously em- barrassing the military operations In the Philippines. There may be no need for American troops In China. But if the need should arise Admiral Evans is likely to act the part of “Johnny on the Spot,” and to find at his back a force of American troops tully capable of coping with ten times their number of the yellow followers of the Chi- nese dragon. Canada Drops Rural Delivery. The postal scandals In Washington are likely to have an important bearing upon the postal service of the Dominfon of Can- ada. On several occasions during the last year the Canadian postmaster general and some of his principal assistants have come over the border to inquire into the work- ings of the rural free delivery service. These gentlemen have expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the workings of the American system of rural delivery and it has been their Intention to attempt to induce the Canadian Parliament to author- ize a like service throughout the densely settled portions of the Dominfon. A final visit was contemplated for next month, but now it is asserted ‘that further investiga- tion has been:abandoned for the presént and that Canada will not immedlately adopt the American system.

The river at this point at 7 o'clock Sun- day morning showed one-tenth of an Inch rise since Saturday morning. Th> stage I now twelve feet even, and is falling at Sloux City. A large quantity of drift went down the river yesterday. An inquest was held Saturday afternoon on the remains of Jullus Kraft, who was killed In a_runaway on the Douglas street bridge Friday evening, and the verdict at- tached the blame to no one. The remains were taken to Council Bluffs §unday morn- ing for interment. A tour of the leading hotels of the city develops the fact that there is a sharp falling off in transient trade during the last few days. It is usually so at this sea- son of the year, but all the landlords speak hopefully of the outlook immediately after the Fourth of July Frances Filley, 14 years of age. who lives at 1908 Muson :treet, was locked up at p. lice headquarters last night charged with incorrigibility. Her parents revorted to the police that she had threatened to run awa from home, and they were fearful would keep' the threat. They desired locked up for safe keeping. Officer Shepherd put out a bonfire yes- terday afternoon in the rear of the bullding occupled by the Fairbanks Scale company at Eleventh and Farnam street, that in ail probabllity would have set fire to the build- ing. The bonfire was started by two little boys, who were rushing the Fourth of July celebration. It was near a pile of straw and boxes used in packing. They were given a lecture and aflowed to go home. Jack O'Connell and Mike O'Brien, the former from Council Bluffs and the iatter from anywhere, are in the city jail, charged with fighting, and came very near being taken there in the ambulance.

In place of the regular sermon Governor Mickey read an address, dwelling particularly on the lite of Wesley. The governor was extremely hoarse, but this did not detract from the attention the large congregation paid to his remarks. In commencing Governor Mickey said his text was John Wesley and his theme the same. “Epworth,” said the governor renowned as the birthplace of John Wesley The world has seen many great men whose birthplace has been forgotten, but in this case, where greatriess and good were united the people will not forget the man nor his birthplace." The speaker then went on to describe the Wesley family and the stir caused by the birth of John. Considerable time was taken by the speaker in reading accounts of the life und struggles of Samuel, tho father, and Susanna, the mother, of the founder of the Methodist church. The character of both parents was described in detail. “John,” said the speaker, “came rightly by his religlous training as his grandfather and father were noted in their time as great expounders of the Christian religion. In fact, they were known as he- rolc ministers, and also as dissenters. The latter for the reason that they dissented from what they considered wrong and sturdily stood for what they deemed right.” As an fllustration of what character and will can do, the governor called attention to the fact that Samuel, father of John, was left alone In the world at the age of 15 years and thus being thrown upon his own résources became a servant to some students at Oxford for the purpose of se- curing means to secure an education. The object of bringing in this point was to show to young men that the poorest boy may secure a college education if he has the resolution and will power to stick to it. “Getting back to John Wesley, the speaker asserted that Wesley at the age of § learned the alphabet in six hours, and then his mother set him to spelling out words and sentences in the Bible. The patience of the mother, sald Governor Mickey, was rewarded when she saw her honored son working wonders in the Christian world. Mention was made of the narrow escape young Wesley had when he was 6 years of age, and then his school life was gone into at some length. Diverging at this point the governor called the attention of the busi- ness men In the congregation to the neces- sity for putting wéide Fusiness .ares, espe- clally on Sunday, and devoting a certain amount of time to worshiping God. In his concluding remarks the govsrnor spoké of thé organization of the sect k.own as Methodists with Wesley as their leader, and of the fact that in 200 years the church founded by Wesley gained a membership of 28,000,000 persons. Before closing the speaker called mttention to the fact that all over the world today Methodists were holding upeclal services In honor of the bi-centen- nlal anniversary of John Wesley. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock Governor Mickey delivered an address to men only at the Methodist church. This meeting was under the auspices of the local Young Men's Christian association. The talk was on the same subject as the mdrning ad- dress. Governor Mickey attended the even- ing services at the Methodist church and spoke briefly.

Ulich has friends who deny this. The autopsy shows that death was caused by a blow on the back of the head. Last night Chlef Briggs £ald that he did not propose to arrest Ul- fch until after the coroner's inquest had been held. He asserted that Ulich was a man of property and was not lable to run away. g Councllman Mike Smith calls attention to the fact that at the time the license was granted to Ulich it was done so over his protest, as he declared to the license committee that Ulich was not a fit person to be placed in charge of a saloon. Further, Councflman Smith claims that a number of residents in the vieinity of Twenty-seventh and Y streets remonstrated | against the granting of a license to Ulich, but the protest was overruled and the license granted. Coroner Brailey will hold an inquest over the remains at 9 a. m. Tuesday. Canvass Votes Tounight. Both the city council and the board of education will meet tonight and the votes cast at the bond election will be ean- vassed. - Aside from going over the vote there is little on the surface for the council to do, but It is expected that Laverty will endeayor to pass a resolution through the school board ordering some new book: Some of the members of the board go sa far as te say the books are not really needed at this time, as the worn;out books can be changed for new ones withou. any expense to speak of. This question of new books is liable to cause quite a discus- slon Magic City Goasip. Miss Cora Persons has gone east to spend the summer. Work on ths west wing of building has been resumed.

After having a talk with John Pryor, ar- rested Baturday night on suspicion of being connected with the Melrose hotel robbery at Los Angeles, Chief of Police Donahue eald yesterday afternoon that he did not belleve Pryor was the man wanted. How- | ever, the man wiil be held pending a more thorough fnvestigation Yesterday morning the pelice had Pryor photographcd and, with his description, mailed the picture to' Chicagerfer identifi- cation. By today at noon an answer is ex- pected: In the meantime a young man from Los Angeles, who fs well acquainted with the Melrase hotel employes, will be tuken to the station to see if he can identify Pryor. Pryor came to Omaha Friday night and before the train came to a standstill jumped off. ‘This attracted the attention of a police officer, and his description was given to the detectives. The description in most every way answers to that of one of the Melrose hotel robbers. To the police he gave his address as San Francisco. The robbery with which Pryor is thought to be connected was-the theft of $15.000 worth of diamonds belonging to Mrs. 1. D. Webster, a guest of the Melrose hotel in| Los Angeles. The parties who did the rob- | bing are supposed to belong to a gang of | profcesional hotel thieves. One of the party | was arrested In Chicago and confessed to the way in which the theft was committed and two former bell boys employed at the hotel are also under arrest fn Chicago.
