DYNAMITE FOUND IN SCHOOL Officers Are Still Gathering Olues and HBending Their Efforts to Round Up the Fourth Bandit, ““We have discovered that less than $300 | 'n money was secured by the robbers who | held up the Union Pacific Overland Lim- ited (rain' sald W.

The sticks of dynamite were hidden in & se- cluded part of the loft and were discovered by the merest accident. These have been turned over to the federal authoritle The postoffice inspectors are busy assort- | ing over the rifled mail and getting it in such shapes as possible, for identification. This work is in ebarge of Inspector Ran- dall. Thus far nothing has developed that will indicate that the robbers secured any Sreat amount of money. . Woods, the leader of the holdup suspects, has agaln been identified, this time by a Fremont lad, who says that ‘Woods asked him for some matches at Fre- mont the day preceding the night of the holdup. He was not sure whether he had | ever seen Torgensen and Gordon, the other | tWo prisoners. Chief Canada of the Union Pacific was with the lad when he identified Woods, having brought him to Omaha trom Fre- mont just for-the purpose. It is supposed that Woods wanted the | matches for lighting candles used by the| bandits after uiey had eecured their booty | and were hiding it. Warner is Positive. United States Marshal Warner says: “Although I am positive we have a sure cise against Woods, Torgensen and Gordon and can conviet them on the evidence, mostly eircumstantial, now in our posses-| slon, we look for still more developments | that will greatly assist the prosecution. Things are turning up all the time that are impartant. All the mall clerks who were on the train held up by the bandits have now ldentified one or andther of the three suspects held by (he government authorities. Sunday morning June Corey of Council Blufrs, ons of the mall clerks went to the countt jail with Marshal Warner and iden- tified them, 1w positive of Woods,” he sald, “and fairly v of Torgensen, but I cannot say that much about Gorddn.” Clerks Rush, Miles and Ryan \dentified the prisoners Monday, between them man- aging to ldentity each one, aithough all three were not sure of each suspect. This leaves Woods, Porgensen and Gordon fully tdentified, for at least several of the clerks are sure of each man, Woods being the one about whom the identification is most certaln, The three prisoners are kept in close con- finement. They have made no statement, other than a denial, since being arrested. That Torgensen may have been connected in some way with government investiga- tions befroe this tinie 1s deemed probable by & local member of the secret service. The latter states that he belleves the secret service has had dalings with Torgensen in past years, supposedly in counterfeiting cases. The officers say that prior to the hearing of the suspects before United States Com- missionér Anderson today they hope to uncover more evidence and aryest the not {ern man by TAFT PRAISES REGULAR ARMY (Continued from First Page.) pare a body of professional soldiers, weil trained, to officer an army, and numerous enough at the opening of the civil war to give able commanders to both sidea of that | internecine strite. “On the side of the morth many of the officers were drafted to commaad volun- teer troops from the states, while the rog- | ular army, aggregating about 10,000 at the opening of the war, was Increased to about 25,000 during its first year.

Dickinson, & south- birth, turned over to the Gettysburg National Park assoclation on Dbehalf of the people of the United Statos the handsome monument. “The overthrow of the south, as always occurs after a flerce war, when the de- teated are helpless, and the more con- servative of the victors for a while are dominated by the flercest and most ag- gressive leaders,” sald Mr. Dickinson, “wa immediately followed by sufferings and humiliations that for & long time admitted | of nothing but lamentation over a result | that could bring such woes.

What would have come from these, we can only conjecturs, but it is well within the bounds of reason to assert that the good would have been dwarfed in com- Commercial and “There would have been a hate and rivairy between north and south as in- tense as that between France and Ger- line far more ex- tended, people less amenable to controll, and causes for friction more numerous. A cordon of forts would have stretched from the Atlantic to the western border of Texas. Army and naval establishments would have devoured the substance of the people, and militarism would have domina- ted civil government. The eivilization of all the states would have developed on aifferent and more critical lines. It may be that in the logic of events the war had to come—that it was the fierce, cruel and inevitable crucible which was to fulfill a destiny—that of making as it did, @ stronger and harmonlous people, united, with a solld front, to meet the great prob- lems (hat now confront our race. “We are no wiser nor more patriotic than were the men who were conspicuous in that great drama.

GRAVES OF HEROES DECORATED Notices Being Sent to Corporations to Come In and Fatten the State Treasury with New Tax (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 3L—The State Board of Assessment met this morning with Gov- ernor Shallenberger, Land Commissioner Cowles and State Auditor Barton present, but nothing was done save to adjourn until Wednesday morning. Mr. Brian and Mr. Junkin got adjourned. Mr. Junkin wanted a meeting this afternoon, but as.the governor de- sired to take part in the Memorial day exercises the date was set for Wednesday morning. The secretary of state has a bunch motfons to make, or at least one, until the board gets together he will not glve out the substance of it. Last year Mr. Junkin moved to raise the Burlington and Governor Sheldon then moved to ralse the Union Pacific, each making the second to the other's motion by agreement, but both motiona were lost. So it is presumed Mr. Junkin this year will again go after the Burlington, but with what success remains to be seen. Had the board gone to a showdown on the motion of the governor last Monday to increase the Northwestern the motion would have carried and probably all of the roads would have received a boost but the longer the board holds off from voting, It is prediced, the less chance there is for the Northwestern to get its boos Tt is said that under the plan of assess- ment proposed by Mr. & O. that the Northwestern would still come In for a boost, even though the Omaha road is a part of the Northwestern system. Under the law, however, it ls claimed by some of the rafiroad men that the Polleys' system could not be used In Ne- braska, inasmuch as the statute sets out what shall be considered by the board In arriving at its conclusion. of but Memorial Day at Capital. The graves of dead heroes were deco- rated with flowers today by veterans of the civil war and the community observed | the occasion by the closing of public of- fices and the closing of & number of busi- ness houses. In the morning the soldlers of the Grand Army of the Republic posts and the women of the relief corps marched to the ceme- tery and after placing their tokens on the graves of comrades they went back to the hall, where the women served a dinner for thoir husbands and comrades. At the auditorfum in the afternoon W. E. Andrews, auditor of the United States treasury, delivered the address, and a set program was carrfed out. sisted of the bugle call by O. C.

Can Barton Carry Decree! Auditor Barton will attend the eom- exercises of the Peru Normal L A higher education at that Institution. The governor is also expected o put in an appearance there and will deliver a speech to the students. The auditor will deliver no speech, he says. When State Auditor Barton leaves Peru. where he went to attend a meeting of the Mullenberg State Normal board, he will in all probability carry with him, tucked away in his pocket, a degree from the Peru normal sehool. Mr. Barton's name was suggested to the new board at Kearney at its recent meeting, as a fit one to be honored by a degree. Crabtree what the auditor has ever done which would entitle him to take his place along with the others who had been trus ! honored. It was brought out that the auditor had written & poem while attending the Peru normal which, as a classic, has never yet been surpassed in all history, and as he has grown to manhood since then and has gone through a campaign without it being known, it was the idea of the board that he certainly is enyitled to the degree. Incidentally, the new board has under consideration an honorary degree for Judge Letton, who Is also a product of the Peru normal Trust and Savings Bank. Stockwholders of the First National bank of Friend have organized the First Trust and Savings Bank of Friend, with a paid up capital stock of $12,00. The incorpo- rators are: L. B. Southwick, M. M.
