Wool Difficulties. In the adjustment of the tariff the proper duties on sugar and wool have caused more difficulties tbnu any other Schedules in tlie tariff, for there nre lo- cnl Interests to be conciliated i'n order to obtain the votes of certain senators for the bill ou its finul.passage. The Rocky mountain states nre especially interested in the production of wool.

There arc enormous flocks went of Missouri which probably supply greater portion wool tin- United- States. The representatives of these fur Western states want to plare the duties BO high ns to render that section of our country the virtual supplier of all the wool used for. manufacturing purposes in this country. This is.absurd nud unjust because it would not only render woolen goods much higher'but would seriously injure the large woolen manufacturing interests in the Eastern, the Middle nnd tie Northern states. Senator Allison, 'who is a statesman, and who is really managing the tariff bill nt tliL- present time, comprehends the full peril of excessive duties on wool, and therefore considerably modified the duties imposed in the House bill, reducing the impost on first-class from 11 to 10 cents, and en the second class from 0 to 8 cents.

But the reiil difficulty hinges on the third class, generally known as carpet wools. He placed them nt 7 cents and 4 cents per pound respectively, but the third class is frequently imported in the form of washed and scoured wools, and. the wool growers Insisted nftnr this grade of wool was wished and scoured it was used a Rood deal in clothing, tlie extremists among the wool producers maintained that special duties should be levied on this class of wniil. Senator Quay of Pennsylvania declared that carpet making was an immense industry in his state nnd he -would nut consent to any provision which would enhance (lie price of their wool. Finally the whole matter wns adjusted through the management good sense of Allison, who desired to help the wool growers without impairing the carpet industry.

It was a delicate piece of legislation Imt the Republicans think -they have secured fair and just compromise. The senators from the Rocky Mountain states are not satisfied, but mauy of them will accept the result ns the best their constituents could obtain. Foraker Ohio was particularly fierce for high duties on wool, ll seems to be a part of tlie history of Ohio that have liad great influence in that state. They dictated the high duties in the Mclvinley tariff of IS'JO. This is explained from the fact that in a number of counties of Ohio the farmers breed a valuable class of rams for the service of flocks in the far Western slates.

These woolly politicians lire ram-raisers rather than w-ool producers. They produce the blooded stock which renders tin- far Western flocks much more valuable property. During the course of the discussion in the Senate, Vest -of Missouri moved to strike, put all duties mi wool, and his motion was defeated by 10 ayes to 33 nays, thus indicating that the Senate is in favor of revenue dutic on wool. It was im act of egregious folly when tho Whson tariff of ''M abolished nil duties on wool. It was nn i-xperi- ment -which a crazy philosopher might try but which a statesman should have avoided.

The wool duties had been on the book for Keveiity.yea.r8 and they had gradually increased the flocks, reduced the price of mmton and in brought SS.OIMUKHI into tlie treasury, or sum capable of -paying interest on $200,000,000 of our national debt, thus proving that it was a. revenue tariff. Our fathers the tariff not for revenue only but for the general welfare of the country. It a noticeable feature in wise tariff legislation that duties which are levied on protective lines ultimately become valuable sources of revenue to sustain the government. It now much needs thnt $8.000,000 which was thrown away upon an experiment which has not benefited the country but which has injured the farmer and which has so impaired woolen, manufacturing industry that If languishes in nearly all the stairs.

Woolen goods have become cheaih'i- but the classes who buy them have become BO much impoverished that they nre not able to purchase their usual supply and thus has blasted prosperity in some of the once thriftiest sections of our country. Fish Onlture in Wisconsin. The reiwrt to the Wisconsin Fish Commission of the of the state fish butcheries at 'Buyfield, Madison tiud Milwaukee, in regard to i.ift spi'ine's'planting of fry, is a showing tliM will fill tlie amateur lishcrninn with the pleasure of anticipation. Since March 1 'a total of fry have been planted iu the waters of the state, including wall-eyed pike, whitefish, lake trout, brook trout, rainbow trout, and white bass. The distribution of trout has not yet been completed, but the number of fry for this ucason's planting is 1.050.000.

This fish Is-on importation, and Supt. Novius siiys Wisconsin is the only state east of the Hooky Mountains that has had a fair gree. of success iu raising it. Rainbow 4roht are larger than brook trout, and the occasionally receives ovi- i dencfl of success in the form of reports of the capture of fish we.ighiug from to fifteen pounds. The fish corn- imlssioners have been successful in the.

raising of lake trout in the inland InkCfi, and they have reached the cou- elusion Aat perhaps they have not them in sufficient number. Thty i jiifitt tiiferefbrc increase the volume of fry planting is done, and make spe- Icfcl efforts with lake trout in Green Mendotn. jBshibK industry of Wisconsin is and the work of the Pish will eventually redound to advantage of the people of summer travel to inland resorts depends largely upon the character of the fishing, that the depredations of the illegal fishermen have not been the cause of more vigorous resentment on the part of tlie authorities of the cities nnd villages which are considered fishing resorts, on the part of the proprietors of hotels on the lakes which once teemed with fish, but which are now well uigh depleted. Self-interest, it would seem, ought to make these people strong allies of the state game and fish wardens. Rural Mail Delivery.

A special, agent of the Postoffice Department is now engaged in investigating the rural free delivery system which has been established in an experimental way in a number of sections of the country. Upon the results of this investigation will depend to some extent the fate of the rural delivery experiment. Those who have advocated tlie direct delivery of the mails to the farmers will therefore await with much interest the report of the ugent mentioned. The superintendent of the free delivery service says that the nystein of free delivery in the country has been successful wherever it has been tried, but in his opinion its general application in the United States would be a waste of money. He estimates that it would cost the government between 550,000,000 and $00.000,000.

This is country of magnificent distances and large farms, and the people of the rural districts have a chronic liking for elbow room. The tendency to get away from neighbors, and to increase the size of farms so scatters the homes in the country thnt a rural letter-carrier must travel over comparatively long distances to deliver a few letters. Upon this point in particular, the superintendent of the free delivery service says that he learned from the foreign delegates to the recent postal congress that the rural districts of Europe contain on an average seven or eight times the number of inhabitants in American free delivery districts. There is another element of cost that increases the chances of failure for the American free delivery experiment. Letter-carriers in the Old World get only about one-third the salary that is paid the rural letter-carriers in the United States.

Three hundred dollars is considered good pay for the work in Germany and France. Instead of abandoning free delivery altogether, the rostotlice Deportment may establish the system in sections where the population is sufficiently dense to warrant the expense. By that plan rural delivery would be established gradually, as the country fills up, owing to the subsidence of the fever for elbow room which has carried the wave of settlement to the Pacific coast. American White Pine. Dr.

Fernow, the chief of tlie forestry division of the Department of Agriculture, throws discredit upon al! the statistics of this country's lumber eupuly which have been confidently paraded during the past ten years, by declaring that "no man can tell bow much while pine we have in the country today." A Washington letter to the New York Evening Post from a correspondent who seems to have derived his information from Dr. Fernow. says: England imports practically all her building wood. As result of this expensive process, we have iu her statistics an example of the minimum with which people can get along. The English line eighteen cubic feet of wood per capita each year.

We use on the same basis nf calculation about cubic feet. In each rase this includes the amount used lor fuel. During the next twenty-five or fifty years we slinll have so to modify our practiees instead of cubic feet ii your we shall be using perhaps a tilth of that This will mean the general substitution ol briek nnd sione. in some of the West adobe, for building mate-rial. The prediction is made that the exiinc- tion of the white pine in this country will never occur.

The Proposed Duty on Hides. It is stated Unit the senatorial Hepublic- nu caucus determined by 11 vote of 22 to 11 to impose a duty on hides. This proposition Wiis resisted by Senators Lodge.

Hour, Plutt nud Spooner, In clear and cogent speeches, but the Western senators feared that their constituents might consider it unfair to omit nn impost on hides, when almost every other agricultural product WHS stamped with a duty. We regret the action of the caucus, und we. think the House of Representatives will never accept it, as a large majority of that body is virtually pledged to free hides. Hides have been ou the free list for the past twenty-five years, and the lapse -of every year has given strength to the argument iu fnvor of hides. President McKinley in 18UO, when ns a member of the House he introduced his world famous tariff bill, gave this question the largest and broadest consideration.

He studied it iu every phase and came to the conclusion that free hides should be the policy of the government even as is free coffee and tea. Under the free hide system the boot and shoe industry of the United States has immensely developed, having become the ninth industry iu the nation, and to the' people prices hove been steadily lowered nud now as good a quality footwear can be purchased for $3 as seven years ago would have cost 55. Any duty on hides would give the manufacturer a pretext for raising his prices. While the farmer would guiti a few cents on his hides, he would pay a dollar additional on his boots and shoes. If there happened to be many children iu his family he would be a severe sufferer by the change.

The proposed duty is cent and a half per pound. As most hides will weigh 20 he might obtaiu thirty cents through the duty. But this is a mere bagatelle compared to what he would lose by tile higher price of footwear. Another important consideration must not be overlooked. Nearly all the imported hides come from South America.

They are generally of so coarse a fiber that they are used only for sole leather nnd heavy belting. The hides of our country are used for the uppers, and therefore the South American hides do not come into competition with the American hides, and so the duty on hides will not in any form act as a protection to the American cattle grower. Of course there will be differences of opinion on this as in every other article in the tariff schedule, and therefore it is natural that in states where a great many cattle are slaughtered the farmers should derive a little better price for their bides, but in trying to do this they must be careful and not involve themselves so as to pay many times the duty in the form of increased prices for their footwear. Congressmen should not forget that the boot and shoe business has been so developed that the United States is manufacturing a better and cheaper article of footwear than can be obtained in England or in France. The Canadians come across the border In order to buy American boots and shoes because thej are tetter and cheaper titan those imported andrcm- Anwfcsa notoriously dainty about their Jfeetvhnve come to the conclusion thnt a better and a more beautiful article of ladies' wear and at less price can be obtained in all our great cities than they formerly purchased in Taris.

The Americans are constantly improving their machinery and the beauty and fashion of their shoes, BO that it is not too much to say nt the present time that the United States hi the first nation in the world in the manufacture of boots, shoes and slippers. It would be a national misfortune to stop or impair such an important industry, and therefore we urge congressmen to beware of placing any duty on hides. The Japs in Hawaii. Japan's protest against the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands by the Lulled States is based upon the assumption that the laws of the United States would exclude from citizenship the people of Japanese blood now residents of those islands. It is claimed by Japan that there are 25,000 Japanese in Hawaii, many of them owners of large property there, aad thnt under the present treaty between Japan and Hawaii-they are entitled to become citizens of Hawaii.

Assuming that the Japanese version of the terms and binding force of the treaty is in dispute between Japan and correct, it is to be remembered that there is nothing in the constitution of the United States to prevent Japanese residents of Hawaii from securing the same privileges as other residents of the islands in case the United States acquires dominion there. There are millions of citizens of the United States who are not in sympathy with the practice which excludes persons of Japanese birth from naturalization upon the same terms as are accorded to others who seek thnt privilege. The American poo- pie as a nation are distinguished above all others for fairness. Already in many American newspapers the argument has been advanced that the United States government, in acquiring Hawaii, would take upon itself the responsibility of carrying out the contracts of the government which it supplants. To bold that this would bind the United States to the admission of new arrivals from Japan for an indefinite time thereafter is absurd.

But it is not unreasonable to assert that if the stipulations in the Japanese-Hawaiian treaty on the subject of citizenship nre as stated the United States, if it acquired Hawaii, -would be bound in honor to accept as citizens on the same terms ns other residents of Hawaii the Japanese now on the islands. The probability is that the Japanese government, in making its protest, is much more intent upon throwing obstacles iu the way of American annexation than on protecting Japanese residents of Hawaii. Forest Fires in Minnesota. Chief Tire Warden Andrews of Minnesota has made nn interesting and exhaustive report as to the operation of the Forest Preservation Act in that state. It is a document of 11- pages, iu whU-h the operations of the assistant fire wardens are reviewed, nnd reports from farmers and others as to the effect of the work done thus far are presented.

The number of forest fires reported during IS'JO wns 91: number of acres burned over, mostly light timber and meadow, 14.912; aggregate damage reported The number of prairie fires was 103, sweeping over 199,325 acres, and causing damage to the amount of $21,788. The number of forest and prairie fires caused by railroad locomotives was 17, being 15 less than in the previous year. Chief Warden Andrews states that "according to the estimates of seventy-five wardens the damage that had been caused by forest tires previous to 1895 amounted to $4.232.000." The Minnesota law requires the chief fire warden to make certain inquiries of settlers, among them being one in regard to the influence of the law on popular interest and sentiment. The answers indicate that the settlers are becoming more careful, paying more respect to placards, and refraining irom brush-burning as much as possible. Another question, in regard to preventive measures drew a large volume of opinion in favor of compelling timber cutters dispose of the slashings before they can become a menace to surrounding property.

This confirms the belief that many forest fires originate in the dry slashings qf lumber camps. One settler answers the query as to the status of sentiment in regard to fire protection by declaring, in a disheartened way, that "it will be useless to undertake to create a sentiment for forest perserva- tion in localities where the people have forest that they wish destroyed." Here is another clew to the origin of forest that has been frequently offered in relation to the forest fires of Northern Wisconsin, where the land from which the timber was burned off is good for agricultural purposes. It has been significantly said that it is easier to clear a farm with, a torch than with an ax, and the remark of the Minnesota settler indicates that somebody has been guilty of testing the assertion to the detriment of those who valued their timber and were in no haste to Clear their Ex-Senators in the Lobby. Senator Hale of Maine proposed an important practical reform when he introduced an amendment to the Senate rules which, if adopted, will exclude from the privilege of admission to the floor all el-senators who are interested in any claim or bill pending before Congress. The purpose of the proposed amendment, as clearly stated in the amendment itself, is "to prevent ex- senators from enjoying the privilege of the floor of the Senate for the purpose of urging or opposing claims or bills iu which they nre employed as attorneys." It was not remarkable that the honest attempt to effect a real reform should bring sham reformer to his feet.

Senator Allen, the blatherskite Populist, who holds the star record as an obstructionist of the long-winded speech order, popped up with the declaration that there has been no more lobbying of late than there has been for many years. He also asserted that he had once introduced a bill making it a crime for any one to come ou the Capitol grounds with a view of lobbying on a pending measure. Allen's bill was of course defeated, as no doubt he foresaw it would be when be made it so extreme. There is no reason in the world why citizens whose interests are affected by proposed legislation should be denied the right to confer with their senators and representatives in Congress, but there is the strongest of reasons no one class of people should be accorded lobbying privileges that are withheld from others. This is a republic, in which all citizens are in theory politically equal under the laws.

Let ex-senators who join the lobby be shorn of special privilege. Senator Hate's-amendment is a righteous measure, and ought to be adopted. 'No sincere reformer will oppose it, Agree as to Silver but When it Gomes to Candidates it is STRIFE AMONG THE DEMOCRATS Grover's Picture Turned to the Nominated for Governor. For Governor-HOEACE L.

Columbus, July the ticket. Silver is the keynote. Ticket and keynote are the frnits of the Democratic state convention which fought out its fight and finished its work here last evening. Silver at 10 to 1 and John K. McLean were masters of the situation.

Horace L. Chapman of Jackson county, placarded in the hotel lobbies as "a lifelong silver man and the friend of the people," a coal mine-owner, president of a national bank, manufacturer, and rated as worth $500,000, was nominated for governor on the second ballot. Robert T. Hough, a man of moderate means, was made "a martyr to party harmony." And the common people rejoice. John R.

McLean, who expects, if the next Legislature is Democratic, to represent Ohio in the United States Senate, showed that his power is greater than, that of any other man in the party in the state. Robert T. Hough of Hillsboro, who, if the vote had been taken yesterday afternoon, would have been the nominee for governor, was thrown overboard by Me- Leuu at the last minute and the McLean strength given to Chapman. The new boas and would-be senator showed a heartlessness that was the subject of more talk last night than the composition of the state ticket. He played the part of a faise friend.

Columbus, June The Democratic state convention here today was the most largely attended of any such occasion since the Civil war. At that time there were some mass conventions which attracted large crowds, but no conventions of recent years have equaled the present one in attendance. bile this convention was in some respects a mass meeting of free silver fusionists, the large attendance was partly due to the fact that a complete new ticket was to be nominated and -there was an unusually large number of candidates for each place. These candidates had their respective troops of workers here in addition to the delegates and they aggregated several thousand enthusiastic hustlers. Over 10OO of such shouters came from the home counties of some of the candidates for governor, while there were many here for the candidates for minor places.

The new Columbus auditorium, with a seating capacity of 6000, had just been. for the convention and its capacity was not equal to demand for admission. The new auditorium was beautifully decorated with bunting and plants. There was a profusion of portraits of Democratic leaders about the walls, but that of President Cleveland was not in the collection. The Ohio state convention last year was not as strongly for free silver as the convention of today and in the convention one year ago there was disturbance because of a motion to "tnrn the picture of Cleveland to the wall.

The picture of Senator Brice, as well as of other Hold Democrats, was missing from the galaxy of heroes. The familiar portrait of William J. Bryan was the center of attraction and that of the late Allan G. Thurman was quite conspicuous. Last year when John R.

McLean was selected to head the Ohio delegation to Chicago, W. W. Durbin was made chairman of the state central committee and he was re-elected last night by the ilc- Lcan influence, while Daniel McConville was also re-elected chairman of the state executive committee. When the convention was called to order at 10 a. m.

by Chairman Durbin, he congratulated the party on the signs of the times and the enthusiastic condition of the party. He made a speech for free silver. Prayer wns offered by Rev. E. L.

RCT- ford, pastor of the Universalist church in tliis city, and hen Uhlrich Sloane was introduced as the temporary chairman of the convention. Just before the convention was called to order a large gold cross was carried into the hall. It had as ornaments crown of thorns and a clock indicating 10 minutes to 1 o'clock. It was quite large, and, as it formed the centerpiece among the floral designs about the stage, Chairman Sloane in gesture pointed to it with great effort as he proceeded with his vigorous speech. There was also a living white rooster perched on the stage to odd to the enthusiasm.

The speech of Chairman Sloane was frequently interrupted with the wildest demonstrations of applause, especially in his references 40 silver. The keynote of everything was silver. The committee on rules and order of business made the usual report with the exception of a supplemental report on the question of leaving one vacancy on the state ticket to be filled by the state league of Silver Republicans. The report referred the question back to the convention without recommendation. A communication was then presented from the Populist state committee, also asking for a place oft the Democratic state ticket with a view to fusion, the place to be filled by the state committee of the People's party.

The special report and the communication to give the silver Republicans and Populists each a place on the state ticket were laid on the table after a heated discussion. After the adoption Of the report of the credentials committee, which settled immaterial contests in the Fourth and Seventh Congressional districts, the temporary organization was made permanent. Gen. J. Warner, as chairman of the committee on resolutions, reported the following platform, which was loudly cheered and adopted: The Democrats of Ohio In convention assembled reofflrm and endorse the declaration of principles contained iu the platform adopted by the Democratic party In the national convention at Chicago la which platform declares the money question paramount to all others at.

this time. In sapport of these principles we Invite the co-operation of all men, who love liberty and hate corruption, oppression and tyran- Gen. Warner explained that the committee was unanimous in presenting the majority report, but that two supplemental resolutions would be offered by a minority of the committee. The anti-trust resolution presented to the committee last night was offered by Casper Loewenstein and adopted as follows: We hereby declare all trust and monopolies hostile and daneerous to tie est and a standing menace to the perpetuity of our free Instltntlons, and we demMid ttie rigorous enforcement of aU anti-trust laws and snch additional legislation as. may.

Hunter, Van Meter, A. W. Patrick and James A. Rice. When Stark county was called it was announced that the county, had no Dame to present.

This meant that John O. Welty, the neighbor of President McKm- iey at Canton, had withdrawn. The name of Mavor James A. Riee of Canton was afterwards presented instead of Mr. Welty.

Before the ballot proceeded the name of Robert T. Hough was withdrawn by Jesse L. Lewis with the statement that there no desire on the part of Mr. Hough's friends to dictate a nomination and that it was a free-for-all contest. Owing to the cheering on the announcement of the names of favorites Und other confusion the call of the eighty- eight counties proceeded slowly.

In the ballot Hamilton county, the home of John R. McLean divided its vote almost equally between the candidates to contradict the report that McLean was'dic- tating the slate nominations. Before the ballot was completed Joseph Dowling withdrew the name of Paul J. Sorg and moved to suspend the rules and nominate Horace Chapman, a large owner and operator of coal mines in Jackson and other counties, by acclamation. Great confusion followed and the chair could not control the convention.

The motion of Mr. Dowling was declared out of order and pandemonium reigned for some time. There were 959 votes cast with 480 necessary to a choice. The first ballot for governor resulted as follows: Sorg, 118; Smalley. Thurman, 7S: Donavin.

Chapman, 241 Hunter, 01; Van Meter, 29; Patrick, 60; Rice, 113: Reeves. 17; Warner. Lentz, 9. It was announced that there was no nomination. Before the second ballot it was announced that the names of Hough and Sorg had been withdrawn.

Before the second ballot was completed Horace L. Chapman was nominated for governor. BUMOEP OUT OF $6900. A Montana Mine Owner Falls In with Chicago Sharpers and Is Fleeced. Chicago, 111., Jnne Arnold, a mining man of Butte, reported to the police today that he had been victimized out of by Charles Dnan and William Metcalt, who, the police say.

are noted gamblers and ex-convicts. The money was secured by means of a faro game played in a house at Twentieth street and Wabash avenue, where Arnold had been 'taken by the men, ostensibly to talk over the sale of a mine which he owned. Arnold says he met Dunn and Metcalf yesterday in the corridors of the Palmer house, where he was a guest. By professing to be capitalists in search of a mining investment the men became acquainted with Arnold, whose visit to the city was for the purpose of disposing of mining property. By engagement Arnold met the men at the house at Twentieth street and Wabash avenue.

After a short business talk, in which Dunn and Metcalf agreed to purchase the property, a game of faro was suggested. The result was that Arnold lost all he had. After unsuccessful efforts to regain his money he reported the matter to the police. Descriptions of Dunn and Metcalf have been printed and sent all over the country. TRIES TO SLAY FOUR.

William H. Copp Savagely Attacks Wlfe'i Family. Chicago, 111., Jnne resisting a murderous attack by William H. Copp, his son-in-law, last night, Dr. Andrew C.

Rankin was cut across the throat with a razor, making a gash four inches long thnt just missed the jugular vein before the physician disarmed his assailant. Copp is locked up at the Hyde Park police station with a flesh wound in the side, the doctor after he had disarmed Copp drawing his own weapon and shooting his son-in-law in the side. The bullet struck a rib and glanced into the clothing. After his arrest Copp declared at the police station in Kensington, in which suburb the' affray took place, that he went to Dr. Rankin's house for the purpose of killing his whole family; Copp was for some time employed by the Pullman company as a clerk, but has been out of work for several months.

Dr. Rankin has a downtown oifice and is a surgeon for the Illinois Central Railroad company. COACHING PARTY ACCIDENT. Ylolotu Cow a Killed. New York, June members of a coaching party were killed and three injured near Budd lake.

Forty Tiouwnd Dollars Damage at Baa FraneiBCo. San Francisco, June laying block pavement upon the new Folsom street wharf occupied by the Oceanic Steamship company and recently constructed at a coat of $50,000 some workmen upset a pot of boiling tar and in a few minutes the whole wharf was in flames.

A general alarm was rung in and the entira fire department responded, but owing to a stiff breeze which was blowing off the bay, could do little. The American ship Commodore was considerably damaged before she could be towed into the bay, and the flames which had caught her bow were extinguished. The little schooner Katie Mack burned to the water's edge before a tug could be summoned and is a total loss. The damage will reach fully $40,000 of which will fall on the State Fort wharf.

It ased to be made loose, but this style was so suggestive of a dressing sacque that the popularity of the white waist waned. A WHITE EMBROIDERED WAIST. Waists are now, however, made of mnlle.

rather tight-fitting, and in snch a pretty style that they commend themselves wherever seen. The full muslin, or mulle, waist, with half-full sleeves, is as pretty a pattern as can be copied. The trimming upon all these waists is embroidery. This can be obtained from the shops in paper patterns, upon which very beautiful figures are they cost only a few cents and are then ready for use. It a good plan to make the waist before the embroidery is put on; then the pattern can be placed in exactly the right spot.

Sew the paper on tightly, embroider over the paper, pull the paper out from underneath and you have a very beautifully embroidered dress. Even inexpensive muslin is pretty, treated in this way. Helen Grey-Page. ESCAPE ON AN ENGINE PILOT. Bunaway HBTB a Perilous Adren- tare at Nebrailta City.

Omaha, July order target away from home Grace Wilson and Jessie Betts, two 17-year-old Nebraska City girls, sprung upon the pilot of the engine pulling the Nebraska limited express at that place and rode into Omaha. The engineer was not aware of the girls' perilous position until they made the next stop, twenty miles north. Then they were put in one of the passenger coaches and brought to this city. They were not disturbed over their exciting pde, but appeared to enjoy the extraordinary adventure. They are now detained at the police station unti 1 their relatives can be communicated with.

The girls said they ran away because they were not treated right at home and that if they are taken back home they will run away again. DYERS DECIDE TO DIE.
