LINCOLN, Aug. 19.~(Special.)—Verlly man born of woman is of few days and full of disappointment; yea, even to his friends. He goeth forth in the morning and flitteth across the political horizon and cometh home at night to have it sald of him he | made many mistakes. And by these mis- takes he is remembered until he goeth forth 1nto & new country and wherefore he | ;g that Burns was the successtul bidder is not mentioned in big houses of the rulers, unless he leaveth behind him a picture or & letter, Thus the passing of Esra Perin Savage. once the accidental big chief of the Ne- braskans. The last sad rites of his com- plete passage was performed yesterday when the handiwork of a great artist was relegated out of the side room of the drink emporfum 6f the Lindell hotel, which sald Mttle room is used for a billlard parior. The work was the exact life size Image of the great pardoner and in the painted hand was a scroll, probably emblematic of his numerous acts of clemency toward un- fortunate murderers and embezslers. In days gone by when the accident was the big mediciné man of this great state the pleture was painted. That all could gaze upon It, it was placed in the lobby of the Lindell hotel where it remained untfl the #pring house cleaning. Then it was turned into more congenlal quarters and hanged on the wall of the billlard parlor. Yester- day morning it was stiil there. Last night it was gome. Inquiry at the hotel elicited the Information that its whereabouts, like the whereabouts of the.original during the legislature, were unknown. Democrats to Hold Convention.

Discussing the reports current in the state that a number of hail insurance companies would have to discontinue busi- mess because of the heavy loss sustained recently by storms, Deputy Insurance Auditor Plerce sald: “Several items have appeared in the Lincoln and Omaha pa- pers in regard to the heavy losses sus- tained by the mutual! halil insurance com- panies during the present season. Some of these articles have conveyed the idea that losses have been so heavy that some of the companies will be put out of - ness. I have been making my annual of- Wclal examination of the hall companies, and while the losses have been unusually heavy, I have every reason to belleve that each company will meet its obligations under the statutes, and will continue busi- ness next year.” The new hall insurance law enacted by the last legislature provides that 0 per cent_of the income of the company shall be deposited In bank for the payment of losses only, It also provides that If the amount collected any one year shall be insufficlen: to pay the losses, then the persons sustaining loss shall take thelr proportion of the funds realized from the assessment, in full satisfaction for loss. It is very evident from this that it will not be mecessary for any of the compa- nles to g0 out of business, even If the losses are great. The officers of the com- panies can operate without ‘conflict with the statutes. Leidigh Asks Reversal A brief was filed in the supreme court today wherein George W. Leidigh, former ‘warden of the penitentiary, wants the de- cision of the lower court reversed. The case was one where an employe of the ex-warden sued for wages, alleging that he had béen hired for §1,000 a year to han- dle ice, and that while he worked thres years he fafled to got all that was coming to him. » Assembly is Profitable. The total gate receipts of the Epworth sssembly which recently convened in this city were §7,604.50, while the revenues de- rived from concessions, tent rentals and subscriptions from the people of Lincoln will run the total up to probably $5,300. The auditorium cost the association between 8,000 and 3,500, a considerable part of which is:to be pald by subscription. Tho hes, The labor unions of Lincoln will give their annual pienic at the state fair grounds on Beptember 7, the central union having made & contract with the state fair Board of Ibit so that the bullding as it was last year, that the honey and bee bullding be floored. The fiah aquarium will be connected with the new sewer which is now being put in the grounds. . The new bulldings which were begun some time ago are all nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy by the time the fair opens. The new public com- fort bullding for women Is a necessity that has been neglected In previous years and I {to a ‘republican paper.’ the fact that there will be ome this year will be much appreciated by the women. The board has appointed J. B. Dinsmore and R. J. Flick a committee of two to visit the Des Moines fair and secure exhibits from that state. The Royal Highlanders' female drum corps has been secured to furnish music on the grounds every day. Mr. Gildersleeve, chairman of the committee for fraternity duy, has reported that the fraternity will bring at least 18,000 people to the city for Wednesday. It is hoped to make the fair this year the largest on record. The rall- roads have agreed to furnish forty extra passenger coaches, so that every one will be taken care of in that department. s is Mad, Coionel Joe Burns will in the future, whenever there is printing to be let by the State Printing board, have his littie bid in for the job. Mr. Burns came to this con- clusion after the State Journal, which for & number of years has had a monopoly on the printing and most everything else for sale around the statehouse, told in its col- Joe By on dynamos, stand pipes, pipe extensions and most everything he asked for. The paper went on to say that these bids were opened In private and the fact that Burns got the contracts was not made public. This has made Burns mad and\ he has declared war on the paper. “I am making arrangements with an eastern printing house,” he sald, “and whencver there is & pirnting contract to be let I shaill put in a bld. 1 happen to remember some of the contracts the State Journal has secured during the last twenty years from the state and I shall make that company come to time with reasonable prices. It is a fact that out of the state, county and efty the company has made enough money in print- ing to pay for their outfit and made every member of the company rich. “The Journal has had it In for me sin the legislature of 1399, when I caused them to lose the job of printing the bill titles. They put in a bid for §2 each, another com- pany put In a bid for $1.75 each and the successful bidder secured the job for 2 cents each. Then the Journal roared and charged because the worx was not given A member of the company told me the Journal lost $1,400 by losing the contract. ¥ “Every contract I have secured was first advertised in that paper, and when it was given to me anyone could have learned the fact by looking at the records. 1 get my contracts because I do the work | cheaper than others, and in the future I intend to get some of those printing con- tracts or I will make the Journal take them 80 cheap it will get sick of It." The Journal also charged that the board held private meetings and when the mem- bers concluded the session they gave out the Information that “only routine busi- ness was transacted.” Tne fact that the board does hold star chamber sessions ha. occasfSned much unfavorable comment, and during the last legislature it was talked for some time to compel them to hold pub- lc meetings. This was not done, however, and the star chamber sessions still con- tinue. The minutes of the meetings, how- ever, are recorded and the next day or the next, or some time later, they can be seen by looking at the records, which are public The following regimental staff officers have been selected and appointed by Colonel V.

Culkins, clalming to be connected with the private detective agency of Frances O'Nel of Chicago, reached here this morning from the west. In his pockets were found requisi. tion papers from Governor Yates of Illi- nols to Governor Chatterton of Wyoming for one Johnson, wanted for burglary. Culkins' story is that he got his prisoner at Rawline, and after boarding the train shackled him to a seat of the car and that during the night he fell asleep and was knocked senseless by being hit over the head with some heavy instrument. After leaving Cheyenne the train conductor aroused him, and this was the first he knew of his condition. His revolver and money were gone. The conductor immediately wired the sherift here to be at the depot with a lock- smith to saw off the shackles. Sherift Babb took the officer to his office in the jail, and after carefully examining the papers and documents concluded that everything was all right. The prisoner has escaped and no trace of him can be found. The strange part of the whole proceedings is that Culkins has not sent a single message to any officer in Wyoming to apprehend Johnson. ‘When taken oft the train Culkins appeared like a person In a stupor, later falling asleep on & bench in front of the Pacific hotel. Sherlit Babb was at first impressed with the idea that Culkins was the prisoner and that the real officer had mysteriously dis< appeared through the train window. There is something very peculiar about the whole affair, and the sheriff is dogging Culkins' footsteps about the city.

FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 15.—(Special)—A prominent Fremont clothing merchant was neatly done up In a trade with an Indian yesterday. The brave was on his way to Pine Ridge after a trip with a wild west how. He was dressed In all the finery of his race and wore a buckskin vest, the tront of which was covered with what the | clothing man took to be Elk teeth. He called In & couple of friends who were members of the Elk lodge and they told him that genuine elk teeth would sell for at last §3 each, and that the vest and teeth ought to bring $300 and that those looked like the genuine article. The Indian pro- fessed not to be able to talk English and secmed decidedly averse to parting with the vest. After considrable bartering and talk in sign langus English and German, a bargain was made. The merchant got the vest for $15 and Immediately hunted up fantry regiment, Nebraska National Guard, and such appointments have been approved by the governor: Dr. W. E.

INSPECT POWER CANAL ROUTE Eastern Capital d Engineer: Take a Look at the Columbus Project. COLUMBUS, Neb., Aug. 19.—(Special Telegram.)—A party of civil engineers and capitalists consisting of Messrs. John F. Kelly, C. V. Vorce, J. Klomer and Scott King, all of New York, accompanied by L.

COLUMBUB, Neb., Aug. 15.—(Special Telegram.)—Charles Wysinski, a Polish la; aged 11 years, was struck by an engine In the Union Pacific yards this afternoon and almost instantly killed. He was thrown about fifty feet and went headlong Into a fence. The front and top parts of his head ‘were crushed in like an egg shell. He was playing on the tracks with other boys. He was ploked up and taken to a doctor's office, but there was little that could be done for thm. mday School Holds Plenie.

THAYER, Nel *Aug. 19.—(Special.)— News has just n recelved of the acel- dental death of Willle Koons, the 12-year- old son of M. G. Koons, who has charge of the Van Winkle elevator at this place. Willle Koons is the youngest son, and by s amiable disposition won the respect of all. He was near the top of the elevator and was assisting in pushing the wheat to a spout In the elevator into a large wheat bin when in some unaccountable manner he fell into the large bin of wheat, which was at that time running through the spout Into a car on the sidetrack, and in a short time his body was sucked toward the spout and completely covered with wheat, shutting off the wheat running into the car. It was discovered by the workmen, who at once went to the top of the elevator to learn the cause, where they missed young Koons. Axes and saws were immediately used to cut a hole in the side of the el vator to let the wheat run out, but when the body of the boy was reached life was extinct. The popularity of little Willle Koons and his sudden death is felt by the people of this place, whose sympathies are extended to the parents and relatives. Woman's Nerve Lands Burglar, AUBURN, Neb, Aug. 19—(Special)— Last night about 1 o'clock Mrs. Sherlock, who resides in the eastern part of town, was awakened by someone trying to re- move the screen to one of the windows of the house.

Fred Eberhardt Beats Falilor. The other three matches in the third round of singles were all disposed of dur- ing the afternoon and held no surprises, with the possible exceptign of Faflor's de- feat by Fred Eberhardt. The first set went to deuce, but In the second Eberhardt had everything his own way and took six games straight. Fallor was a little weak on his backhand strokKe and Eberhardt took the net and killed the ball every time on his opponent. It was generally supposed that he was not as strong a player as Frank, but he played the better game of the two {In the afternoon. Hughes was disposed of by Holland in two sets. This was entirely expected, but Holland falled to show such strength as to make it seem likely that he can defeat Frank Eberhardt in the semi- finals today. Eyes on Four Men. Since the beginning of play in the doubles the gallery has divided its attention be- tween the two younger Eberhardts and Holland and Sanderson. It was believed that the finals in the doubles would fall be- tween these two teams, although the Eber- hardt brothers disappointed their followers Wednesday morning by their work against Hopkins and Scribner. They had shown pretty team work in their match Tuesday afternoon against Webster and Sunderland and then played a very poor set in the morning match against Hopkins and Serib- ner. The local men were unfamilliar with each other’'s style of play and lost many balls because they did not work together and, at that, they almost outpointed the Eberhardts. In the second set the Eber- hardts got together and played the kind of game that they must play to carry through to the finals. When at their best the two brothers play together in a marvelous way. They are large men, but cover a great deal of ground. Their two strong points of plry are their net work and lobs. The points for the match of the Kber- hardts and Scribner and Hopkins are: Fred and Frank Eberhardt— 2204105424443146 4500 Hopkins and Seribner— 44411230402164042-80-7 Fred and Frank Eberhardt 4 4 44 {1 4246 Hopkins and Scribner. 1021241111 Sanderson is being watched with par- ticular attention because of his holding the singles champlonship 'and those who are familiar with his play declare that he has not fallen off from his last year's work at all and that he seems just a little bit more clever if anything. He and Holland work well In the doubles and have three wins to thelr credit, having beaten Van Camp and Knox and McConnell and Hoel and John and Henry Eberhardt. Last Match Hard Ome. The last match was the only really hard one of the three for the Galesburg men and they displayed some clever team Wwork. Like thelr younger brothers these Eber- hardts played in perfect team work, but they showed lack of practice and drove the ball out of bounds repeatedly. Sanderson placed wall throughout the match and with Holland, smashed and killed lobs with per- sistent regularity. Holland's strong game d t o s t al e ° r t He returned with a | game of playing caretully and easily and | From the play of this one | is at the net.

Raymond has been improv- ing in his dally play within the last two or three days, but is still quite green this year, and Farnsworth is suffering from even less practice, Another thing inst them beside their lack of individual prac- tice s that they have not played together at all since they won the championship last year. Farnsworth does not arrive in town untll Thursday morning for practice with Reymond and the match for the champlonship will have to be played on Saturday. Prettiest Doubles of the Day. The city champlonship in doubles, Young and Caldwell, had a hard tussel with Blatherwick and Holbrook during the afternoon and finished two sets. The first one fell to the visiting team by & score of 62, but in the second Young and Caldwell recovered themselves and won out by a score of 12-10. In many ways it was one of the prettiest doubles match of the day. Blatherwick was playing in great form and did some exceedingly clever work at the net. He also showed where his abllity to play with either hand stood him in good l‘tfnd when playing a back court game by returning some balls that seemed im- possible to return. BSeveral times Caldwel T r o G HOMEEEOHOS Lawtord stroke. A number of amtches in the consolation | singles were played off during the day and the intention 18 to work them down to the semi-finals by tonight. At 10 o'clock in the morning the semi-finals in the doubles will be played off. These both will be exceedingly good matches as Hunt and | Sheldon are playing a beautiful game de- | spite their lack of practice together and they will certainly give Sanderson and Holland a hard rub. The other match Is Our Great August Sale! WE ARE SELLING between the two younger Eberhardt's and | the and Holbrook-Caldwell and Young match.
