WAS BEATEN TO DEATH
Mrs. Hayden Roberts of Peru,
Nebraska, Slain by Her
Husband.
The Murderer Then Dispatches Him.
self-Note Showing the Crime
Premeditated.


AUBURN, NEBR., July 12.-County At
torney a. ]. Burnham returned tonight
from the scene of the murder of Mrs.
Hayden Roberts by her husband, near
Peru, which occurred this morning. He
says the woman was killed by being beaten
over the head with the stock OF shotgun,
until the same was broken, and then the
barrel of Che gun was used.
The murder was surely premeditated;
for note was found near the dead
woman's body signed by Hayden Roberts
and saying that his body would be found
near the old salt basin in his fathers
pasture. about one mile distant. The per.
son finding the note did not think to look
at it until the middle of the forenoon.
Roberts had shot himself just back of the
right ear. and seemingly died without q
struggle.
The tragedy is one OF the most shocking
that ever occurred in Nemaha County.
Hayden Roberts was one of the oldest
residents of the county, and a man OF
some prominence. His father. an aged
veteran of the war Snd man universally
! respected, survives him. Henry Roberts,
q brother, was years ago a clerk in tie
office of the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction at Lincoln. The murdered
woman was q widow when she married
Roberts, with children of her own. Their
home life was not always happy, but as to
who was 10 blame opinions differ.

HAWAIIAN ISLAND NEWS,
independence Day Is Celebrated
at Honolulu On an Elabo-
rate Scale.
Fifteen Thousand Japs and Chinese
Expected to Arrive Within
Twelve Months.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, July 6.-As the
celebration of American independence and
the first anniversary of the esta bills hment
of the republic of Hawaii fell upon July 4
the American residents and Hawaiian
citizens united in joint celebration on
last Saturday which far surpassed any
previous affair of the kind held here. A
marked feature of the event was the par
ticipation of many native Hswaiians and
the general friendly feeling displayed by
the natives during the day.
Considerable anxiety is being felt lately
by the friends of the Government over the
question OF Asiatic immigration. The late
Legislature, which has. not without cause,
been called 1.-The planters Legislature, -
passed a bill limiting the number of
japanese laborers by one vessel to 7U0 men,
1t is now alleged that the bill, seemingly
In favor of reduced importations OF planta-
ton laborers, was . put-up job. The
serious charge is made that the planters
had all arrangements made with the
Pacific Mail Company. so that hereafter
all Its steam ers from the Orient will touch
mere, each bringing full com plement OF
fOO laborers. The first instailment arrived
py the Doric yesterday, and il is said the
remaining steamers TO touch here will
land 10000 Japanese laborers within the
next twelve months.
In addition to this il is learned on the
pest authority the Government has
granted written permission to a local
agent of Chinese labor to bring in 500
Chinese laboFers during the same period.
THESE facts have become known to the po-
litical leaders, and have already raised
much adverse comment. As soon as the
facts become generally known, it is feared
the popularity the Government has en-
Ioyed since the establishment of the Re-
public will be seriously compromised. if
not permanently impaired.
The wish is generally EXPRESSED that the
Government vii. find itself strong enough
10 carry out the policy OF political and
commercial compromises entered upon
soon after its establishment without
either injuring its own popularity and use
iuiness or alternating the support of the

CHICAGO, Ill, July 12.-Exhausted
by the exactions attendant upon his nomi-

Fortunate crowd of congratulatory Demo-
Gratis and convention politicians and found

in the afternoon and after dinner drove
with Mrs. Trumbull and Mrs. Bryan to

BATTLE WITH R0UGHS.
Conductor and Engineer Badly Beaten
BY a Gang Who Refused to
Pay Their Fare.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 1.-THE con-
ductor of Wisconsin Central suburban
train which left the downtown station at
O'Clock this afternoon had savage fight
with six men near Harlem station, in
which both trainmen were injured. Six
men who got on just outside of Chicago
refused to pay their fare, and in their ar
gument with the conductor retreated to
the front platform of the first car, where
they made a stand.
Three OF the men got off the train, but
the others clambered on the tender, and
when Conductor Cole attempted to follow
them they hit him over the head with a
coupling pin. rendering him insensible.
Engineer William King, who came to
Coles aid, was set upon and badly bruised
by the three toughs. The men were kept
on the train, however. until the next
station, where they were placed under
arrest. Their names are George Letters,
Frank O'Hearn and George Mason. When
Conductor Cole recovered he found he was
minus SAL which he had in his vest pocket,
but whether he lost the money in the
scuttie or the men robbed him, he is
unable to say.

BRYAN THEIR CHOICE.
Kansas Silverites Will lndorse the
Candidate Named at
Chicago.

Topeka, KANs., July 12.-The State
convention of the Silver party TO elect
delegates to the National Convention,
which meets in ST. Louis next week, will
be held in Topeka on Thursday, July 10.
Many county conventions were held yes
terday to elect delegates to the State con-
vention, and without exception the dele
gates were instructed to vote for only such
delegates as would favor the nomination
of Bryan and Sewall. The silver men in
the county conventions have, as far as
practicable, chosen only Republicans as
delegates to the State convention, with the
object to make the movement appear as
Independent of the Peoples and Demo-
cratic parties as possible.
A number of Peoples Party conven-
tons were also held yesterday in different
parts of the State, and they, too, adopted
resolutions favoring the nomination of
Bryan for President. All leading Popu-
lists, including Senator PETER. Jerry
Simpson, Ex-Governor Lewellyn, John w.
Breidenthal and W A. Harris, ex-Con-
gressman-at-large, are favorable to the
nomination or Endorsement of the Demo
cratic candidates for President and Vice
President by the Peoples Party.

promising with the planters in the mean
time.
That the immigration question is the
most serious of the hour does not seem as
yet to be realized by the Government, and
! am quite certain from recent interview
with one of the Cabinet that that body
does not even know that threats have
been made by the opponents of japanese
immigration to prevent the landing OF
future shipments of cody labor, il the
scheme of the planters is carried further.
1t Is announced on good authority that
the white population of the islands will, ii
forced, take concerted measures to pre-
vent the proposed importation of nearly
fifteen thousand laborers during the
coming year.
The fact that $1,000 unsurcharged 10
cent postage-stamps of the old monarchy
were put on sale at the postoffice last week
was soon followed by some rumors of an
attempted stamp deal in official circles,
which had failed to mature owing to the
ter OF FINANCE. After considerable trouble
the following facts in the case were
secured from semi-official and official
sources and can be relied upon to be sub
stantially correct.
On June 26 the Postmaster General
called on Minister Damon and asked his
permission to sell at face value the stamps
Ia 1UcotAOn. 4ncoS OF OO,OUO To-
cent stamps, which had been condemned,
being stuck together by hot weather. The
Postmaster had separated them by steam
ing so that they could be sold. After con-
sultation with Judge Cooper, Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, consent was given that
the stamps were to be sold for face value
and the proceeds, $64S0, turned over to
the treasury.
As the stamps in question are worth
81 each some of the clerks in the post
office applied for some of them, but were
told by those acting for the Postmaster
that the stamps were all sold to a syndi-
cate, the names of whom were refused.
Rumors that another stamp deal was on
In official circles were soon current on the
street, and, 1t is supposed, reached the
Minister OF Finance, as the next day he
sent for the Postmaster-General and in
formed him that as the stamps were cata-
logued at 81 each by stamp dealers and
were worth 90 cents each at forced sale
the public should have the advantage OF
any commercial speculation in the matter.
This attitude of Minister Damon, who is
upright to an extreme in such matters,
caused the postoffice syndicate to vanish,
ana the stamps are now being eagerly
bought up by the public and local dealers.
1t is alleged that one official, who was a
member OF the syndicate that failed, dis
posed of several thousand dollars worth
OF Plantation stock at discount to carry
his share of the stamps. Had tie syndi-
cate succeeded in getting the stamps they
would in few months have made small
fortune, as their profit on forced sale, a;
wholesale rates, would have been nearly
$4,000.
