When the management first elected to build on the "present site there was some objection be- ‘eause it was belloved by some that the loca- tlon was not fitted fof such work. Even With its one year there this belief has proven” to have been groundiess. C. E. Prevey, who Is at the head of the work, ‘sald: “Everything points to a most suc- 3 il year with us.

Neb,, Oect. 11.—(8pe- clal)-Away back In the We and up into the 80s an old fellow by the name of Davis made his home in the woods on the east side of the river about midway between Qmaha and Plattsmouth, living in nothing more than a common canvas tent the year around in company with several large and savage dogs. Little was ever known of him except rumors to the effect that at one time he was a pirate on the high seas or a train robber, who having eluded the grasp of the law had Settled down to enjoy his fligotten gains. Several times when visited by hunting and fishing parties he became quite talkative and showed many watches and rings of curious design and workmanship, of both gold and sfiver, Which more than ever led to the belfet that he was a freebooter. Some years later he disappeared, leaving no trace of himself or whereabouts, and many who knew him have no doubt for- gotten of his ever having existed. But now to dwaken the memories of years gone by, comes the report that a party of bee hunters in chopping down a tree of mam- moth proportions in the thickest part of the timber where he was located discovered what is supposed to have been his strong box for his treasures, the tree trunk about four feet from the ground having ‘been carefully cleaned out and lined with sheet- fron, making a most acceptable place for his wealth and orie not casily discovered. The opening or door to the hiding place was skillfully concealed amd worked lfke a sliding panel and would never have been discovered -only as it was, by ‘accldent Nothing now remains of it except the hole in the tree and the battered sheetiron, the excited searchers for wealth having chopped the place to pleces. Nothing was found except several pieces of paper which at one time formed a chart of some kind, but which are too decayed by age to be deciphered. * PLATTSMOUTH, Butler County Fusionists. | DAVID CITY, Neb., Oct. 11.—(Speolal.)— The fusionists of Butler county held ‘their convention in this city yesterday. ‘'The democrats met at the opera house and' the Populists at the court housei Both conven- tions met In the forenoon and effected tem- porary organizations.

Lessar, Russian min- Ister to China, has announced that the Manchurian convention has lapsed. The Manchurian convention between Rus- sla and China was signed April 8, 1902, and according to it. the evacuation of the three Manchurian provinces were to be car- ried out in three consecutive periods of six months from the signing of the convention A note from M. Lessar, was appended to the convention declaring that “if the Chi- nese government, notwithstanding the as- surances given it, violate any provision of the convention, the Russian government will not hold itself bound either by the terms of the Manchurian agreement or by the declarations previously made in connection with the matter anG will be com- pelicd to repudiate any responsibility and consequences that might arise therefrom." | China was to be permitted to maintain whatever force she thought necessary in Manchuria after the “evacuation, Russia | also agreed that it Tien Tsin was restored | to the Chinese within:the first six months to evacuate New Chwang at the time this restoration was made.

This is the actual situation as ugderstood officially trom reports recelved from the German embassy in St. Peters- burg and the German legation at Tokio, Yet this mutual attitude with hostile. prep- arations by both countries is still regarded here as not excluding an honorable ar- rangement. Nelther government has gone s0 far that it must fight or be humiliated, but either cabinet by a single step. can put the other in that position. This deli- cate balance may. of course, be violently disturbed any. day,,though no ultimatum has yet béen thrown on elither scale. It Is_ belleved here officlally that war, should it occur, wonld be between Russia and Japan alone, . and that neither England nor France would be involved, Looks Like-Speedy War,' LONDON, - Oct. /492 The ' cortespondent of the Morning Pkt ‘at Che Foo, tele- graphing ' Octobet ™, says: It s ‘stated that " thie “ Japwehese “have Aecided to de- clare hostilities {tomorrow. ‘on the expira- tion of thelr wMdmatum 'to Russia.

Loss of re Resorts, A tour of the coast today by the Asso- clated Press correspondent revealed scenes of havoc in the path of the gale. At Ocean View the pleasure pler is a total wreck and the damage to the elubhouse, cottag:s and extensive bulkheads will run far into the thotsands. The handsome new home of the Hampton Roads Yacht club is one of the worst sufterers, but all along the bay shore the damage Is great. At Cape Henry the bay and ocean beach Is covered with the wreckage from swall craft and the mammoth double-decked pavilion is badly damaged. The loss at Virginia beach exceeds that of any other place hereabouts. The wide board walk, extending for two miles along the ocean front, is practically demolished, the portions left standing being In such a condition as to require rebullding. Cot- tages are partly unroofed and porches washed away by the sea that threatened last night to engulf the entire resort.

The Lehigh and the Bushkill are still backed up for miles and everything along thelr banks is floaded. 1t is impossible to estimate the loss,,‘or_gxen approximate it. Only. one bridge from thie heddwaters of the Dela- ware to ¥aston, Is standing and that is an old covered structure at Portland. One side of this bridge is battered to pleces, but it was not moved from its foundations. The Jersey Central bridge is seriously damaged and at least three spang will have to be replaced.

Now that the Chicago Great Western has won the second fght to prevent its entrance into the ecity, assuming that it will be the ultimate victor in the Unlon Pacific skirmish, which 18 still hanging by a technical thread, it s understood- that President Stickney intends losing no iime in getting down to the actual work of con- structing his terminals.

In declding this cpse Judges Baxter and Dickinson concluded that the Great West ern is a domestic_corporation und is entitiel to do business In Nebraski. They held it was not necessary that the city should ap- point appraisers in assessing damages for vacating the streets in question, but that it was optional with the city to do so; that the use of the streets in this Instance wou'd bo for public purposes and that the com- plainants have ample, femedy at law, and that the Injunction would not be.granted. This ie, they held, conditioned on the prop- osition that the ety attorney agrees that the proposed ordinance be amended so a® not to provide for the exclusive uge of the streets by the defendant railroad and te lmit the vacation of the strcots to the north side of Mason street. This proposi- tion was agreed ' to by City Attorney Wright. N Ié Give a genuine Wels- bach mantie ordinary care and you won't care for the ordinary mantle. 18, 20, 25, 30, 35 cents, All Dealers.
