D. HAWTHORNE, KEARNEY'S JEWELER. Mil IS BROKEN UP Evidently Has Another Murder on His Mind. kTHOTJOriT THAT HE KILLED A j-fc FOUMKK WIFE. The Murderer of Mlae Ging a Pitiable Object.

Miskkapolw, Dae. A. Blixt, the confessed murderer of Catherine Ging, is a pitiable object this morning. Now that the awful secret that he held has been revealed he seems utterly shatr tered. The tears coursed down hiB cheeks.

Every few minutes he stnds for Chief of Police Mitchell, whom he regards as the only friend he lias on ear.h, and breaks ont into lamentations over his hard fate, All night long the nerve-shattered mur- derer waa haunted with the fair face ot hilTiotiro. His eyes had a wild look, and he was actually afraid to be alone in cell Nc. 13. "I want to tell my story and then die," he said, continually. Jailer McKenna drew a chair up in front of his Cell door about midnight and remaioed With him during the entire night.

The prisoner was very reBtlesn and paseed the major part of the night pacing up and down the cell. He has asked that the chief of police at Cannon Falls, Minn, where he once lived, bt lent for, and it is suspected that he ha the weight of another murder on nil soul which he anxious ti confess 7ft is understood that wife in that Tillage died very suddenly and myster ionily, and that tho wretched man wants to tell another gruesome story about that tramdv. Ha has also asked that his telatives in Cannon Falls be sent for, and when they arrive more revelations are ex pected. If it proves to be a fact that he responsible for his wife a death ho has dnoe married again it may also turn out that Harry Hayward knew of this fact and made ueo of it to strengthen his nower over hia tool. The belief is grow lug that Harry Hayward made use of hypnotism to gain so strong a ho'd over hU tool and victims.

Claus Blixt says ha did. He told the officer that Harry had controlled him with hypnotic power aa he had also Miss Ging. The murderer ahuddered when he made this statement It to now remembered that Atlria Hay ward, the brother, in his confession al laded to the terrible influence Harry had over him, an influence not entirely fear. Be could not explain it, but gave the im praaaion that it was almost impossible for him to resist Harry wishes when they were pressed upon him. It is known that Harry had a wonderful influence over the dead girl.

She did anything he told her to do with implicit confidence. Ha often boasted to Adria that the girl would do exactly as he told her to do It waa decided this morning that there would be no arraignment of Blixt in the mnnicipal court, but that this case should go direct before the grand jury. A large Lcrowd had assembled before the munici Ml eoart on Second Bt. Much talk waa ndulged in and were, to Bay the leant, threatening. Captain Hein was detailed to announce to the crowd that Blixt waa not to be brought into the municipal court and that the were to diiperae immediately.

Words had little effect, aa the crowd remained in front of the building and waa augmented every few minutes. The question in every mind now is whether Harry will confeee. SHADOWING THE FENIANS. Story ot London I'aper that Irish Extremists are Again at Work. London, Dec.

Joe and Mr. all of whom were active in the fenian movement. Dr. F. also went to Liverpool and Paris to see Irish extremists.

He was shadowed by detectives throughout his sojourn here and until he sailed from Havre a few days ago. The Scotland Yard authorities are fully alive to all re vivals of the fenian movement and threats of the Irish- American organs. Contest In California. San Francisco, Dec. 10.

L. S. Deets, and W. L. Hand, Sec'y, Buffalo County Ir igation Association, Kearney, Nebraska, bej to acknowledge the receipt of your kind invitation me to attend and address the Irrigation convention at Kearney December 18 and 9, IH'H.

I do not know that I ever re ceived an invitation which I bo much regretted the necessity of declining is I do this one. My connection with the ir- igation movement began in Nebraska, while Kearney waa formerly my home It would be a rare pleasure to renew the peasant associations of the pant under conditions which mark the triumphant progress of a cause to which I am devot- ng every moment of my life. But I have undertaken to carry the gospel of rrigation to the heathen of New England and the Atlantic sea board. About the time your convention meets I shall be- iftin' np my voice for our cause in New- York, Boston and Philadelphia. 1 shall be urging our countrymen to go on with the conquest of America, and thus to replace national stagnation with national prosperity.

I intend that temples of liberty which rung with the accents ol revolutionary patriots shall now re echo the cry for industrial independence and human equality in the ownership of the soil. And thus, while I cannot be in Ne braska on the occasion of your state convention, I hope to be fighting for Nebraska's cause in localities whence she must draw her re-inforc9ments of money and of men. I hope to be able to deliver addressee at two or three points in Ne braska during the spring of and at that time I truit I may succeed in presenting facts of some interest nod importance gained from my canvass of eastern sentiment during the winter.

One colony of two hundred families, having each twenty acres of irri-ga'el soil, cultivated in such diversified crops aa to render them practically independent of the store, theee families having their homes in a beautiful village in toe midst of their little farms one such colony, I say with profound earLestnws, would te worth more to Buffalo county than ten cotton mills.

One reason that this is true is that the employees of a cotton tniil are servants, while the inhabitants of the colony would be sovereigns. And sovereigns rather than eervants are the material which great common-wealths are made, 'lake care of the colonies and the cotton millB will take care of themselves. There ia no part of our movement which gives more joy and piide to the national leaders of irrigation than that under way iii Nebraska. It means that we are to have an end to the drouth and its attendant calamities, miseries and appeal to charity. It means a new Nebraska, of which the long-suffering wert-e; counties shall be the most self-reliant and i elf-respecting.

Every town and every county that wants to secure ita part of the glorioua prosperity that is coming to American irrigation in the next fhe rear should be thinking now of canals and pumping plantB, of the bett irrigation methods and the fine-t homes and colonies.

STUDENT ROGERS' FUNERAL. The Young Kearnry Man who trail HufTo- catert by (n. Joire Rogers, whose death at Omaha last week, as a reEultof suffocation by ga? in his boarding place, will he buried tomorrow. Mr. Rogers was the son of John Kcgers who lives miles north of Kearney.

He waa about 20 years of age and was preparing to finish his studies at an Omaha commercial college. He was a bright young man und popular with all who knew hi in. The Omaha paper had a sensational ar ticle refening to the accident which caused his death, in hich it was stated that he blew out the gas after having partly turned it off. This etatement is ridiculed by ull who knew him. His father says that though his family have lived on a farm they are not ignorant of modern city customs and manners.

Young Rogers had frequently been in the city and had been at school in the city before. He attributes the Bad event as a result of defective diafis.or perhaps a defective fixture, in the mm occupied by his son. Mr. Rogers, the father of Jesse, accom panied by R. French, returned from Omaha with the body Sunday night Tde funeral services will be conducted at the Rogers homestead tomorrow at 11 o'clock and the body will fiud its last resting place in tho Kearney cemetery.

ELECTRIC SPARKS Create a Lively Time A boot the Opera Hoime Venteiilay. One of the electric light wires which lights the opera home got out of order yesterday.

The inf ulation became defective and caused the sparks to fly where it came in contact with the building, threatening Gre. The wire afterwards broke and fell to the street. The danger was discovered in time and pedestrians were warned in time. to avoid approaching the live Mire. Workmen repaired tti9hr(uk this morning.

The event is a warning to itizens to watch the condi tion of electric wirea about their places, aa during the winter when snow and sleet storms are liable not only personal in- juiy, but considerable damage is possible through neglect to tee that wires carrying heavy currents are not in eood order. A heavy sleet Btorm would undoubtedly do much damage in the city, but fortunately yesterday liht enow fall may only serve as a warding. ajraitimranHiwmmts I Wanted, Men!
