DETERMINED TO KILL HIMSELF
John Hadc Makes Desperate Efforts
to Commit Suicide Due to
Domestic Strife.

AotIiSSA1S SlIIlS. -
Waterloo, Neb., Sept. 14.-From the
effects of a dose of morphine, taken
with suicidal intent, John Hade is w.
ing at the point of death. He had
threatened several times recently to
commit suicide. At a local drug store
day before yesterday Hade bought a
quantity of strychnine, and the drug
gist, after making the sale, took the
poison away from him, assisted by DR..
Harris. He admitted hat he intended
to end his existence by swallowing the
drug, but after having a long ak with
DR.. Harris he said he would not make
another attempt to kill himself. His
condition today, however. indicates
that he forgot his promise.
Domestic trouble is ascribed as the
Incentive for the act. Several years ago
Hade shot a man, William McManus,
for alternating his wife's affections. Nc
Manus died from the wounds inflicted
pm him by Hade. Hade wa tried on
the charge of killing McManus and ac-
quilted. Since that time he has brooded
over the matter considerably. His wife,
who resides here, several weeks ago in
Stltuted divorce proceedings against
him in the district court.
Had was at Elkhorn most of the day
yesterday II 1t is supposed that he
procured the poison there. In the even
ing when he returned home he went to
g neighbours house and bade them all an
affectionate farewell ard then pro-
ceeded to his house, a half a block
away, and swallowed a quantity of the
drug. The neighbor, Mr.. Graft, whom
he had bid goodby. vent to Hade's
house shortly after Hade left and found
him lying on the ground outside the
building almost dead. Medical assist
n was summoped at once. and after
three or our hours hard work the
physician succeeded in giving him a
new lease of life. Hade, however. would
not have it hat way, and about mid
night. during the temporary absence
of the watchers at his bedside, he dug
up another dose of the drug and swal-
lowed 1t. The prospects now are that
he will be dead before morning.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 13.-The re-
cent combination of insurance compn-
mics effected at Saratoga is pronounced
by President Alfred James of the
pany a gigantic insurance trust and he
predicts "A big rate war in consequence
OF the action taken at Saratoga.
President james uses startling lam
guage in reference to this latest COM
bination of centralized wealth. He
says it is tie most powerful,coercive
and arbitrary compact ever formed by
insurance men, and that it will be the
policy of the latter to put into force
an immense boycott for the purpose
of driving the nonunion insurance
companies out of business. He says
that since 1893 there have been extra
ordinary profits in the fire insurance
business throughout the country, ard
particularly in the field governed by
the western union, and that now q
number of recently organized. foreign
companies IRE greedy for u share of

HONDURAS HAS SOLD OUT.
Wealthy American Syndicate Makes
IA Deal for IL Bankrupt
RcUublic,

New York, Sept. 14.-The World
prints the following this morning.:
"The control of the government of
Honduras by Americans, are the words
of the American consul of Honduras,
used in his report to the state depart
mcnt concerning the effect of the
concessions recently ma lie by the gov
eminent of Honduras to an ~oryaniza-
ton of wealthy New Workers.
This consideration was the cause of
the advancing of several million Of
dollars-whether five millions or fif-
teen annot be ascertained, to the Hon
duras government, whereby it may
Keep above bankruptcy. On the hoard
OF directors of the concern appear the
names of John Jacob Astor, DR.. Sew
ard Webb, Chauncey NJ. Depew, j. j.
Mccullough, Frederick B. Jennings,
Charles McVey and Melville Il. Ingalls,,
Jr. The organizer is Henry Sprague, n
lawyer of this city. When Mr.
Sprague made his visit to Honduras he
succeeded beyond his fondest hopes.
The government was willing to grant
him everything he wanted if the men
of millions whom he represented
would only assume certain financial
obligations that would save the re-
public from ruin.
The nature of the deal has been kept
very much a secret so far, but it is
known that the plan includes not only
the completion and control of the Hon
dnras railway, the management of its
telegraph system and the dictation of
the tariff duties at the custom house,
but also the establishment of a ma
tional bank to carry out a fiscal policy
Tor paying Off the Honduras debt.
The government promises not to in

also on the cards to establish a steam
ship line from TruXillo, on the Attain
tic coast of Honduras, to Belize. in Bo-
livia. a plan is afoot also, it is said,

honduras for men who can stand the
climate, which is very trying to those
accustomed only to temperate zones.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 15.-It has just de.

the eight injunction orders signed by
Judge Garland of the federal court,
that while all the cases stood on the
same ground the orders differ some
what materially. Tho copies of the or

of II various companies and all are

cal in the case of four roadside Mil

ton, Cedar Rapids and Northern. III
these cases the orders as originally
drawn up by the attorneys enioined
the commission from putting into eff

or any schedule of rates" The Judge
scratched his pen through these words
and left the injunctions standing only

therefore, the commission is re-

A CASE OF LONG STANDING

Enumeration for Stolen Cattle

Rapid City. Sept. 1a.--1n March,
1877, Evans e Hornick, ore of the larg-
est freighting firms which did bust
ness between Pierre and the Hills,
drove a herd of 200 beef cattle across
the reservation into the Hills and
stopped at Crook City. Indians had
been bothersome all the way across
and had attempted to stampede sever
al times. The outfit had just rolled
into Crook City, and the boys, except
The nightwatchman and Mr.. Hornick,
had gone into n saloon for drinks
when the Indians suddenly made a
bold dash and stampeded the herd
into the timber. In the attack the
Waterman was shot dead. A pursuit
was made by the cowboys, but they
were greatly outnumbered by the In
dams and gave up the chase. Colonel
Fred Evans is now in the city on bust
ness pertaining to this affair. He and
his attorney are to meet n government
attorney in Sioux City this week, when
it is expected that a settlement of some
sort will be made by the government
for the stolen cattle. The amount due
now after twenty years and for auch

worth more then than now, is consid-

city, died at Henderson, KY, yesterday
from the effects Of a blow upon the head.
from some cause unknown, while trav-
cling IN n train from st. Louis north.
No particulars have yet been obtained.
He was Burlington and Missouri river
90 at this place, and a prominent
Mason.
Henderson, Ky, Sept. 12.-Pol!ce and
railroad officials here are puzzled by
u murder mystery of a most peculiar
nature.
DIR. w. T.. Adams, a member of the
school beard of Hot Springs, S. D., n
a prominent physician of that place,
was foUnd unconscious and in a dying
condition on a Louisville, st. Louis and
Texas train which arrived here at $40
yesterday morning. He died six hours
later without regaining consciousness.
Death was the direct result of a blow
on the back of the head from some blunt
instrument, producing fracture of the
skull, but how or when the murderous
deed was committed the officials have
been unable to ascertain.
One theory is that he wa attacked
by robbers While in his seat, but this
seems almost an improbability. An
other theory, and the one which obtains
general belief, is hal he was struck
and robbed while walking in the Evans
Willie depot. and that his assailants,
trusting to the confusion, placed him
on the train in an unconscious condl-
ton.
Conductor Joseph Smith says DR..
$50 o'clock Friday night with a ticket
to Evansville. He took a seat in Il day
coach which goes through to Louisville
by way of a branch out OF Evansville.
After taking up DR.. Adams ticket Con-
ductor Smith paid no further attention
to him. He remembers, however, that
he had a yalise and one or two parcels.
AT Evansville Conductor Charles
Netherton took Smiths place. When
he went to collect fares in the coach
where DR.. Adams was sitting he no.
ticed the physician was sprawled out
on his seat, with his head lying back,
apparently asleep. He shook n at
temptedly to arouse him, but could not
succeed in doing c.
Although no bruises were apparent,
Notherton saw the passenger was not

A DECISION BY JUDGE SMITH
An Important Parllston Cnse-Hutch.
inson County News,

parkston, Sept. ~14.--Judge Smith
handed down u decision recently in the
case of the town of Parkston VS..
Hutchinson county, which is of inn
portance TO every incorporated town
and city in this state, located in coun-
ties not wholly organized into civil
townships. The action was brought
to COY the amount paid by the
town for assessors fees, for assessing
the town during the past three ears,
claiming that chapter 176 of the Jaws
OF 1925, which requires the county to
repay to townships in counties not
wholly organized into civil townships
the amount paid by the township to
hte assessor for assessing the town
ship, applied to incorporated towns
and cities. Judge Smith sustained the
contention of the town. The ease will
be appealed to the supreme court.
The republican caucus was held FRI
day and elected the following dele
gates to the county conventions: Geo.
Stamp, G. Mcisenhollder, G. Rempfer,
a. ID. Davis, j.. NJ. Gray. They go in
structed for Judge Smith.
Corn in this county is mostly out of
the way of frost and will be IL very
good crop.
Wheat is averaging about ten busii-
els to the acre. but with the present
prices is bringing in lots of money.

HARVEST HANDS ARE SCARCE
How to Harvest What They Have
Grown Is the Problem on
the COnst.

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE prob
lem of how to obtain help enough to
harvest this years crop has become a
serious one to the fruit growers of
California. One employment agency
of this city has places open for 5000
men in Fresno and Tulare counties
alone, while Napa, Sonoma, Yoke,
Santa Clara and Yuba counties are not
far behind. Last year for this class of
work men were paid $40 a month and
board, now 81 a day and board is the
regular thing. and with this raise as
an inducement the demand for men is
greatly in excess of the supply. The
demand is not confined to fruit grow
ers alone, but industries of nearly ev-
cry kind are in need of workmen and
experience the same trouble in secur-
ing them.
