WALTER WELLMAN'S "
~ OLD STOCKINGS.

The following is taken from the
Democrat, of York, Nebraska. 1t
is IN effort showing just how much
there is in some instances in Re
publican boastcd prosperity:
Walter Wcllman is Il man with
Il national reputation. He is the
national correspondent of the
Chicago Timcs-llerald. His par
ents reside in Bradshaw. York
county, Nebraska. Walter visited
his parents the other day and
wrote Il glowing account about the
prosperity of the farmers around
Bradshaw. Among other things
in the Times Herald letter from
Bradshaw we take the following:.
They are sick of free silver.
They admit they were in for it in
'96, and they make no bones about
the reason why. They were in
debt then, and they thought cheap
money would make it easier for
them to pay up. That's all there
was Of it. But now they are out
of debt. They have paid off theR,
notes, mortgages and accounts.
Moreover, they have money ahead
money in bank, money in their
pockets, money hid in their old
stockings and i'll their pianos at
home. That's different, you see.
They don't want the dollar cut in
halves now, because they have the
dollars.
We would not say one word
that would injurc the people of
Bradshaw township, but the truth
cannot hurt any one on any pcO-
pie. We must know the facts and
then we can form an opinion.
Without facts the opinion is of no
value. We asked the well known
abstractors, Ferguson, Franklin 4
Co., to 90 over the records and
make Il certificate showing the IL
mount of mortgage Indebtedness
of bradshaw township as the same
appears on the mortgage records
Of York county. The following is
the reply:
York, Ncb., July 2l, 1900.
We, the undersigned, hereby
certify that the records of the Of
fee of the county clerk of York
county, Nebraska, show unrclcascd
real estate mortgages to the Il
mount of Tl31, 123 upon the real
estate Of Bradshaw township in
said York county, Nebraska, cN-
elusive Of the village of Bradshaw.
FERGUSON, FRANKLIN d Co.,
Abstractors.
There YOU have the facts about
the paid off mortgages and money
in old stockings. There are IA
quarter sections of land in Brad
shaw township and $l3l, l23 of
mortgage Indebtedness against
that land. Nearly $1,000 to the
quarter section.

English Doll Carriages.

Dolls carriages have long been made
in this country in great variety, and
many Of them Of fine materials and
handsomely finished. There are now
added to this variety imported dolls
carriages that are an exact imitation
on q smaller scale of the imported
English baby carriages. These doll
carriages have the same body of wood
as the larger carriages, curving up
ward on the under side at either end,
in the same way, and with the same
landau-like drop at the middle. The
body is painted and hung onto springs
at each end. The Innings and trim
mings are of leather, as also is the top.
The little English carriages are brought
in two sizes and finished in brown,
in green, in blue and in white.

An unusual elopcment is reported
from the Infrmary of Crawford Coun-

years of age, had been observed to take
an exceedingly friendly interest in
Mary Evans, blind woman in the in
etitution, who is about sixty years of
age.
Gunsaulis escaped from the place
about two weeks ago and could not be
located. Saturday night he returned
and in some manner communicated
with the Evans woman, who, though
entirely blind let herself down from a
second-story window by means of a
knotted sheet, and Joined Gunsaulis be-
low, the two setting out together at the
dead of night bound for some one to
marry them. Neither had a cent in
cash, and could therefore secure no
license, which it is alleged they at
tempted to do in the morning.
This led to their capture, upon which
they were returned to the aImshouse.

A Washington dispatch says: Ben
iamin H. Smell, Of Georgia, was put
on trial Thursday before Justice
Clabaugh for the murder Of thirteen
year-old Lizzie Weisenberger on the
morning Of August 9th last. The de-
PENDANT appeared haggard and worried
when he entered the courtroom.
When Smell was brought into court
one of the sisters Of the little victim
broke down with emotion and the
family loft the courtroom a few min
utes afterward. They were in the
seats again when caurt convened after
the noon recess.

SMELLS CRIME.


The crime for which Smell is stand
ing trial was one of the most atrocious
in the history of the district. 1t was
on Sunday morning, August 6, 1899,
that Smell called at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Weisenberger, TAO
Nineteenth street, N. E., and asked
for a drink of water.
= Just within the door was the bucket,
but this was empty. Old man Weis-
enberger said he would go to the
hydrant on the corner of Nineteenth
and G streetss hundred yards away,
and fill the bucket. He started at
once, little dreaming of the fendish
purpose of his visitor When the old
man was gone Smell entered the house.
He went straight to the sleeping
room of his little victim, drew a razor
Srom his pocket and on the instant
that she awoke he ierked the keen
blade across her throat. The girls
mother made frantic efforts to stop
Smell, but he beat her off. In the
struggle she was slashed several times
with the bloody razor which Smell still
held.
After accomplishing the horrible
deed, the brute attempted to escape,
but was soon captured by officers.
\, In many respects the crime and the
I incidents leading to it are similar to
1.-THE Flanagan crime in Georgia For
the child Smell had what would appear
an ungovernable attachment.
In 1898 Smell lived on the Bladens-
burg road with his family, and next
door to them lived the Weisenbergers.
Lisa was then only seven years old,
but Smell took a great fancy to the
child, and finally arranged with her
parents, who had several children and
were not in very good circumstances,
to have the little girl make her home
at SMELLS. Living next door, it was
not hard for the parents to fall into
this arrangement, and when both fam
lilies moved later, Lisa stayed with the
Smells.
SMELLS conduct toward the little
girl caused the parents to take her
away. After this Smell used every en-
deavor to have the little girl returned
Nto him, but her parents were obdu-
rate. Smell then became frantic and
determined upon a horrible venge-
ance.
Suspicious as to the safety of their
daughter while she remained at SMELLS
first arose with the Weisenbergers
about year before the crime.
Smell is educated and after becoming
a visitor of many of the low dives of
city moved in high society in Wash
~Sngton. He was regarded as valua-
BILE clerk in the pension bureau, hav-
ing gone in in 1890 on a salary of 5000
and having been steadily advanced to
a 81 600 position. At the time of this
crime he was a special pension exami-
ner at salary of 300 while in
Washington, and expenses in addition
while in the field. He is native OF
Vermont, but lived for many years in
Georgia. He was at one time en-
i ployed in a bank at Montgomery, Ala.
4 His parents live at Oconee, GA, and
are among the most respected people
of that section of the state. His
brother, Charles w. Smell, is clerk Of
the Superior court at Sandersville,
Ga, and is prominent citizen.
