Reynolds on Aug. 16, last.
Dolly" Reynolds was a beautiful

lived at Mount Vernon. She was
found dead in a room in the Grand
hotel, and beside her lay lead pipe

neck broken. DR.. Samuel ]. Kennedy,
a dentist Of excellent reputation, who
lived with his wife and child and his
parents at New Drop, S. l., had passed
himself off at the hotel as the woman's
husband, and the two had been seen
to go to the room together near mid
night. Two hours later he was seen
to steal down the staircase and out the
side entrance. 1t was $3.50 o'clock in
the morning when the servants discov-
cred that crime had been committed.
DR.. Kennedy was arrested at his office
later in the day.
The murder was mystery to the
police for weeks, and they have never
been able to get any but circumstan-
tial evidence. The woman had come
to the hotel in the afternoon and writ

a meeting of the students, held 70 dis

have college YELL After much con-

'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah!

Next! Next! Next!

perspicuity and sanity, which cannot
be said of the college yell" in gen.

A Kipling Poem.

Several years ago Fred D. Under

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, named
two stations in the upper peninsula of
Michigan "Rudyard" and "Kipling,"
one being in an agricultural country
and the other in an iron ore district
Some time later a mutual friend in
formed Kipling Of Mr.. Underwood's
action. and the celebrated author sent
Mr.. Underwood his photograph with
tho following lines on the back:
"RIJDYARD" AND "KIPLING-"
..Iuise is the child who knows his SIRE"
The ancient proverb ran,
Dat wiser far the man who knows
How. where and when his offspring
grows,

yet am I saved from midnight ills,

They do not make me walk the floor
Nor hammer at the Doctors door,

wife Murderer Goes Free.

United States Judge William Spring
er, in habeas corpus proceedings
brought by William Mills, charged
with murder, ruled that there is no
court in Indian territory with juris-
diction over crimes committed in the
Cherokee nation before the abolition
of the tribal courts, if the criminal and
his victim were members of the Chero-
kee tribe. Miles, who is a Cherokee
and confessed the murder of his wife,
was dischared.

THE FIFTr-SIxTH CONGRESS-

The congress that meets today has,
in the language of General Henderson,
great responsibilities resting upon it.
No congress since the reconstruction
period has had more important work
to do than will be required of the pres
ent congress. 1t calls for the exercise
of the best wisdom and the highest
statesmanship of the party in control
of that body. Said a prominent mem
Der of the majority: "The fact that
presidential campaign is pending will
not cause the republican party to shirk
any responsibility and the responsibility
of the party is great" If all the re-
pnblicans are animated by this spirit
the legislation of the Fifty-sixth con
gress will rebound to the honor and
promote the prosperity of the. country.
Economy must be our watchword; !;
care in the expenditure of the peoples
money" said General Henderson to the
republican caucus. There should be a
determined effort to keep the eXpendi-
lures of the government within its in
come. Taxation is heavy and under
less prosperous conditions would be
oppressive. No addition should be made
to the demands upon the national treas
ury that is not absolutely necessary.
The maintenance of existing taxation
for another year at least Is to be eX-
pected, but with the war in the Phil
ippines ended, as 1t probably soon will
Inn no wit n1
from Cuba in the near future, there
is reason to think that, If no new ex-
penditures are created, congress at its
second session will be able to make
some reduction in taxation. There Will
be many opportunities offered no doubt,
for extravaganza, but the party in
power must firmly refuse to appropriate
n dollar more than is imperatively re-
quired If it would retain the support
and confidence of the people.
The passage of financial measure
that will unequivocally fix the gold
standard in law and adequately pro-
tect the reserve is believed to be as.
sured. As now indicated the bill pre-
pared by the house caucus committee
will be passed by the house early in
the session, but as there will be pre-
sented in the senate somewhat differ

PRIVATE BILL ANTHONY.

| Philadelphia North American: Life was
cheap to "Bill' Anthony, but II he had had
! the moral courage, without which great VIC
tories are not won, he would have met his
troubles manfully, instead of leaving his
wife and baby to suffer alone.
Philadelphia Times: A long eermcn n
might be written on the various lessons of
this tragic case, and the reproaches it sug-
gests are not for the poor suicide, whose
little dream of fame and fortune outside
the line Of duty, outside his true vocation,
was so soon and so rudely shattered. He
Is only one more brave man ruined for the
holiday sport of thoughtless people.
Chicago News: Brave BilI' Anthony,
the marine who reported the blowing up of
the Maine to Captain Sigsbee, committed
suicide in New York yesterday owing to
dependency over his inability to find en-
ployment. 1t is little to the credit of the
great eastern metropolis, the city which
made SO much noise and fanfaronade over
the Homecoming of Dewey, that a plain and
simple man who had served his country
nobly, could not gain livelihood within it's
boundaries.
Baltimore American: Here was a cour-
ageous man, one not afraid OF an enemy's
bullets at any time, gentle and kind in
disposition, and yet lacking in the quality
that enables men to meet misfortune with
success. The brave are not infrequently
oversensitive Anthony had done enough for
his country to warrant him In making an
appeal to secure employment and doubtless
If he had made known his condition he would
speedily have secured assistance. But he
kept his troubles to himself at the time he
most needed an adviser. The highest cour-
age is not always that which meets danger
fearlessly on the battlefield, though its con-
spicuous exhibition naturally attracts at
tention and compels admiration. The brav-
cry that is able to meet misfortune quietly
but resolutely, and triumph over difficulties
that seem to be ever present, is that which
has the best chance for success in the long
rum
The brave man is not he
Who feels no fear,
For that were stupid and irrational;
But he whose noble soul
Its fears subdues,
And bravely dares the danger
Nature shrinks from.

WHAT ARE THE sHlPPNRs DOING,

The future of Omaha as n distribu-
tion center depends upon the ability of
its jobbers and manufacturers to hold
their own in the tributary country
against all competitors. To hold their
| own they must not merely command
the requisite capital and credit, but
they must also have an equal chance in
the delivery of the wares they market.
so long as they are handicapped by dis
eliminating transportation rates they
cannot hope to win in the race for
traffic supremacy. This fact is patent
to every business man and therefore it
vitality concerns all our business men
to have all discriminating freight tariffs
abrogated wherever and whenever they
may be imposed. 1t is hardly neces-
sary for us to impress upon Omaha job
bers and manufacturers the imperative
necessity of standing together in every
battle that affects their common inter-
concern of all and it is because they
have been divided that they have failed
to secure equal ratings with the most
favored competitor
The question now is what are the
shippers of Omaha doing to counteract
the work of Kansas City and other
towns that persistently seek to obtain
discriminative concessions from the
traffic managers that make competition
in the field naturally tributary TO
Omaha difficult if not impossible? 1t
will not do to charge the traffic man
ayers with frivolous partialty toward
other cities. The traffic managers are
just like all other business men-they
seek to get the largest volume of bust
ness that can be gotten at the highest
possible rate, and they pay bonuses for
this business by making rates in favor
of their most profitable patrons. Right
or wrong, lawful or lawless, the sys-
tenn of discriminatiye tariffs and secret
rebates is kept up and will be kept mp
so long as there is no organized opposi-
ton to the unjust practices. Omaha
can only match Kansas City when it's
shippers emulate those of Kansas City

most good, So long as the traffic man

Why should these inequalities be per-
mitted to continue? Why should South
Carolina get congressman for each 4,jOO
votes, Nebraska have only one for each 35, =
900 votes and Texas only one for each 81, 900

inequalities provided by proper legislation
prior to the basing of the representation on
the census of 1900 this infamous system Of
unequal representation and injustice will be
perpetuated.
The Conservative calls the attention of
the advocates of good government and all
journals and periodicals interested therein
to the importance of beginning the vigorous
discussion OF this question, so vital 10 the

lish equality and fairness in representation

Porto Rico and the Philippines and 1t
is perhaps safe to assume that the
policy outlined in the report of the soc
retaiy of war and recommended by the
Philippine commission, which mdoubt-
edly represents the views of the ad-
ministration. will be closely followed.
This contemplates the institution of
civil government as rapidly as the peo.
/ pie of the islands are capable of such
government and every effort will he
made to instruct and prepare them for
/ IT. There may he some republican op-
! position to the retention of the Philip
! pines, but there is no doubt that the
( expansion policy of the administration
will be sustained. As to Cuba, it should
! be an entirely safe prediction that con-
gress will adhere to the pledge of the
government to leave the island to the
control of its own people as soon as the
conditions will warrant doing so. 1t
Is to be expected that there will be n
strong outside influence eXerted in be-
half of annexation or a protcctorate
and it will not be surprising to find
advocates of annexation in congress,
but the large majority will favor the
faithful fultillment of the national
promise that the Cubans shall have
independence. Apart from this there
are important questions relating TO the
commercial interests of Cuba which
must be disposed of and which will
probably be dealt with in liberal
spirit. There must also be legislation
for Hawaii.
Congress is expected TO enact legis-
lation for building up an ocean mer-
chant marine and this is not the least
important of the questions that will
receive consideration. The bill for this
purpose introduced in the last congress
Will probably be brought forward early
in the session of the present congress.
Other important matters upon which
action is expected are an isthmian canal
and Pacific cable. while the allah
sorbing question of the trusts must re-
ceive attention. 1t is thus seen that
the session will be most busy and
interesting one and the results of its
action of the highest Importance.
There will be no delay in the organ
ization of the house and Speaker Hen
derson will probably announce the
committees before the holidays. The
republican caucus wisely decided to
adhere to the rules of the last two
congresses, which means that business
Will be expedited without any unfair
ness or injustice to the minority.
