To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. I cannot agree with Mr.. Geckwlth that tho
examination OF the tomb wa conducted with great
care and Difference and II was made simply to sub
stantla,e "A doubtful historical fact" There could
be no doubt that Gilbert Stuart was buried by per-
mission OF George Rowland and Nicholas Price In
the tomb marked No. 81 Boston Common. Mr..
Robinson In "A letter to me Of February 49, says:
"Onr records in city Hall. Boston, prove every
thing" And 1t Is In that letter he tells ne he has
opened the tomb.
| rcitoratc that at any time from the death OF
Gilbert Stuart TO the present day. had public re-
quest been made in the papers for Information as
To where ~ was buried. 1t would have been will
ngly given by my father during his lifetime land
ne d.d not die unit 1870. ana by since then. No
EFFORT was made to hnd II any of the descendants
OF the original owners were living. All my relatives
from whom | have heard agree with me In my pro-
test, and reason. unless II was 10 crafty
mere curiosity, why strangers should open the tomb.

Bradstreet's Review.

NEW YORK: Bradstreet's says: Colder
weather, continued heavy receipts of cot
ton and wheat and other influences have
stimulated the demand for staple goods at
various points, but the volume of trade
remains moderate, without material
change from week ago.
The Pacific coast reports increasing ac-
tivity in wheat, the noteworthy feature
being cargo of wheat exported to India.
Total exports of wheat from both coasts
of the United States and from Montreal,
-four included as wheat, continue to at
tract attention in view of short supplies in
Russia, India, Argentine and Australia.
The domestic wheat crop is more likely 10
approximate 500, 900, 600 bushels this year
than only 400,000.00J the general inter-
probation of the Government wheat crop
report.
There were 219 business failures in the
United States reported last week. There
were 81 business failures reported from
the Canadian dominion for the week.

Another Beef Embargo Feared.

made here it developed that the German
Government is making on its own ac-
count an investigation of the health of
American cattle, possibly with view of
again placing an embargo upon American
beef. The state board of health received
a letter from the German consul at CIn-
cinnati asking for a detailed statement of
how much, if any, tuberculosis existed
among the cattle of Indiana. The letter
also wanted to know what measures were
being taken to weed out or prevent the
disease, and stated that the German Gov
ernment had last year expended over
100000 in stamping out tuberculosis
among German cattle.

OF "A GREAT STATE
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF
NEBRASKA.
Her Life by Taking Chloroform-
A Love Affair Thought to Have
Been the Cause for the Act.
Ends Her Trouble by Suicide.

Laura Berdolen, domestic employed
at the Ruwe Hotel at Fremont, committed
suicide by taking chloroform. She did
not answer when called by the clerk
Sunday morning. The door to her room
was locked and there was no sound from
within. The door was broken open and
she was found lying on the outside of the
bed with her face buried in the pillows.
A four-ounce bottle half full of chloro-
form and the odor of the drug which pre-
gaded the room presented unmistakable
evidence of suicide.
The cause of the act is thought to have
been love affair with railroad man.
She was about 21 years of age, graduate
of the Fremont high school and had spent
two years in he Wesleyan University at
Lincoln. She was brilliant scholar.
Her mother, who lives at Fremont, is
partially demented, and the girl may
have inherited insanity from her.

Dreams of Wealth Vanish.

SAN FRANCISCO: Christian Soil and
John r. Green, the prospectors who dis
covered a quicksilver mine on portion
of the shore near the Cliff House, will not
be as wealthy as they expected. Believ-
ing the deposit was located on property
subject to entry, they fileo, a mining
notice. Scarcely had they donetthis when
they found that the land was part of the
military reservation, which is beyond
reach of the laws regarding mining
claims. They now hope that the Govern
ment will allow them to develop as much
of their claim as lies between the lines
of high and low tide.

Secretary Olney at Work.

WASHINGTON: Thursday was Secre-
cary Olney's first diplomatic reception
day for three months, yet there were only
three of the corps among his callers,
Senor Calvo of Costa Rica, Senor Romero
of Mexico and Senor Andrade of Vene-
zuela.OThe latter spent half an hour in
close consultation with the Secretary, and
it is supposed the discussion concerned
generally the negotiations relative to the
boundary controversy, and particularly
the last move in British Guiana, author
izing the building of a British railway
through the disputed territory, which
threatens, if pushed, to disturb the present
satisfactory status quo.

Beats His Wife With a Hatchet

CJoe Pinkava, a farmer living near Crab
Orchard, Gage County, beat his wife with
halchet Lreaklng her skull in several
places and mangled her body badly
Doctors say she will not live. After the
assault Pinkava ran to his neighbor's,
borrowed revolver, stating after secur-
ing it, that he would shoot himself. He
ran for the woods and fired two shots at a
tree. 1t is not believed that he killed
himself, as no trace can be found of him.
Parties are in pursuit. Family troubles
seem to have been the cause Of his action.
Later: Pinkava cheated the law by
ending his own life. His body was found
swinging from tree in grove on E. B.
l.; films farm, about a mile from the
scene of his crime. In the work of self
destruction Pinkava had suffered an aw-
full death. He had made two attempts by
shooting himself in the head. His left
eye was shot out, and a glance shot had
been made near his left temple. His face
was badly beaten, probably having in
ficted the decorations with the butt end
OF the revolver. Indications are that, as
the shooting proved unsuccessful, Pinkava
secured piece of wires from fence, tied
it around his neck, climbed the tree,
fastened the other end Of the wire to a
limb, and jumped to his death.
