MADE GOOD HER WORD.
The 4 orrible Find of . Missouri Riv,
Fisherman.

The : orrible Find of . Missouri River
Fisherman.
Omaha, May 25.-A Missouri river
fisherman today found the bodies of
Mrs Ida Notzen and her two young
children. Mrs. Notxen is the Omaha
school teacher whose mysterious disap-
pearance with her children last fall
created such sensation in Omaha.
She left letter saying she would kill
herself and children because she had
not been appointed 10 a position in the
office Of state superintendent Of instruc-
ton. Search at the time revealed
nothing that would indicate that Mrs
Notzen had carried out her threat. She
was very intelligent woman Of 40
years, with good standing in state ed
ucational circles, Her husband is a
Chicago merchant, she teaching in
Omaha and residing with her parents
The bodies were firmly tied together
with heavy rope. Evidently the mis-.
cradle woman had taken her children
in her arms, twisted the rope around
them and after binding their three
bodies together, leaped into the river.
The clothes of the children were tied
around their necks as II having been
strangled before being carried into the
water.

OREGON MILLS MAY COMPETE
4 Valuable Concession Obtained From
the Navy Department.

4 Valuable Concession Obtained From
the Navy Department
Washington, May 24.-Representa
tive Hermann has obtained valuable
concessions from the navy department
in favor of Pacific coast blanket manu-
facturers. Heretofore all contracts for
blankets purchased for use on our naval
vessels ON the Pacific coast. and at the
United States navy yards at Mare ISL
and and those to be used ON the new
war vessel, Oregon, all provided a first
delivery in New York, which prac-
tically gave a monopoly TO Eastern
woolen mills. Now Mr.. Hermann
makes protests in the name of the Ore
gon wooden mills against the distinc-
ton, and has insisted that contracts
should be let ON terms permitting de-
livery at San Francisco, which would
favor the Pacific coast mills at least to
the cost Of transportation which is
quite an item. At the next letting the
department will change the rule If Pa
cific coast mills desire to bid. The rule
formerly required provisions and stores
for Pacific naval uses to be delivered in
New York, but this was changed few
years ago.
Representative Hermann has secured
a restoration to the pension rolls of
Duncan A. Huling, of Coos county, and
he has obtained a pension for Henry E
Slocum, of Ashland, at IS per month,
with an accrued allowance Of secs; also
an increase of pension for Cyrus p.
Diclerman, of Oregon City. dating
back to February "a, 1884,.
