Dr.. NoRVIN GREEN, president OF
the Western Union Telegraph
company, who died at Louisville.
KY, recently, illustrated the
versatility Of the American. He
cut cord wood, studied and prac.
ticed medicine, did something in
politics, and finally went into the
telegraph business, which he aid
ed in making one Of the great in
terests Of the world. He is a mai
accustomed to make a success Of
whatever he undertook, and was
the great chief Of the Western
Union corporation, always ready
to defend it and seldom losing a
battle for it. 1t will not be easy
to find a competent successor fol

Self Destruction.

Sunday morning in the stable of his
brother-in-law l.. A. Hurlburt, Stewart
Rider ended his existence by cutting his
throat with a pocket knife, being IN
doubtedly insane. The unfortunate man
was about thirty years of age, coming
here from Fairbury, this state, but a few
months since. He had made every ar
rangement to go to Goodland, Kansas,
on Monday morning, to operate a tank
line there. He was stopping at Wayson's
restaurant, and during the very early
morning hours exhibited signs of decided
mental arrangement. About three or
four O'Clock he left the restaurant and
went to his brother-in-law's house neal
by, where he at first made arrangements
to go to Fairbury on No. 2; but after
wards dissenting from the plan he left
the house, going to the stable as future
Developments proved. During his brief
stay at his brother-in-law's he complain
ed that his mind was wandering, but no
special attention was paid to the matter
at the time. But feeling uneasy later in
the morning, Mr.. Hurlburt repaired to
his stable, finding the dead body as stated
above.
At an inquest held later by Deputy
Sheriff and Acting Coroner c. F. Bah
cock the above facts practically were
brought out, and a verdict of self-destruc-
ton was rendered by the jury.
1t appears that insanity is a hereditary
faint, and that other members of the
Rider family have cast off the real or I'M
aginary cares of life in the same way.
The deceased was well-to-do financially,
having property to the amount of two or
three thousand dollars.
The information that he was despond-
ent over a disappointment in love is de-
clared on authority to be without found
alton.
The remains were forwarded to Fair
bury, Monday morning, for burial. The
relatives and friends have the sincere
sympathy of all in this sad affair.

The newspaper publishers Of
Hitchcock county are trying to get
themselves together for the purpose
Of forming on association to protect
their business interests. It is q
sensible thing to do. Newspaper
men may quarrel and fight over
politics and other questions, but
when it comes to matters Of bust
ness policy it is the height Of folly
forthem to pull apart. They could
well nigh wear diamonds all the
time if they were not such fools in
a business sense. -HayesC County

into the hands Of the great foreign

which nov are plotting for their
