At an early hour this morning after
painful and protrncted illness of sew
eral months duration. Mrs. Margaret
Bryant Morris. wife of Anieron V. Nor
ris, of the Sixteenth ward, passed
peacefully into the sleep that knows
no earthly awakening. Death came
to the deceased as u great relief from
physical suffering and profound sor-
row; for she had not only been stricken
in health but had lost father, mother
and babe, in the short space of few
months during her own Illness.
Mrs. Morris was a good woman,
faithful wife, fond mother and a true
friend She lenVes a Borrowing hus-
band and four small children to mourn
her demise. She was 81 years of age
and a native Of Ohio. She came to
Utah while n child and was reared at
Lehi, where she had many friends.
The time and place of the funeral
will be agreed upon later.

NEBRASKA.

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. additional
precinct returns from the state did not
change the figures given last night, in
dicating fusion plurality exceeding
that of 1896, which was about 1000.
At fusion headquarters the same claim
as last night, plurality of from 10000
to 10000 was maintained. Secretary
Slzer of the Republican committee
would not concede this nor even ad-
init defeat. Many OF the leading Re
publican workers, however, accepted
the returns at hand as a certain indi-
cation of the defeat OF Post, (Rep.) for
supreme Judge, and the remainder of
the state ticket.
A seeming inconsistency in figures
sent out from Lincoln and those from
elsewhere in the state is explained by
the difference in comparisons made.
Governor Holcomb last year ran far
ahead OF his ticket. Returns sent last
night other than from Lincoln COM
pared the fusion vote of this year with
the Holcomb of last, indicating a Re
publican gain, when by comparing the
average fusion vote OF last year, d
fusion gain Is shown for this year.
The Republicans of this uancaster)
county elect their entire ticket by re-
duced pluralities except Woods for
