COMMISSION INVESTIGATES
Selling Of Goods Abroad Cheaper than Mt
Home Looked Into.

The industrial commission has decid-
ed to make a very general inquiry by
means of circular letters into the
charge that exporters of American
made goods often sell them for lower
prices than are asked for similar goods
at home, and a resolution has been
adopted requesting from the business
interests of the United States "a full
and frank statement covering the eff
forts made to extend consumption of
products to foreign markets" The
secretary Of the commission was in
structed to prepare a letter to manu-
facturers indicating the information
desired and asking, among other ques-
tions, whether they sell their goods at
a lower price abroad than at home. and
if so, requesting them TO give reasons
for this course. The letter also will
ask for suggestions for securing better
prices abroad for American goods.

There was a sensational shooting at
FRAY at Aurora, Nebraska, Monday af-
ternoon between the hours Of 4 and

citizen of the community, became sud
denly and passionatcly enraged over q
personal matter. at the bottom OF
which, it is alleged, were some stories
menacing the reputation Of his daugh-
ter. He believed Walt Hills to be the
cause of the unfortunate gossip and,
arming himself with a 32-caliber revolt
YER, started in search of Hills. He
found him in front of Smiths barber
shop. and, walking within a few PAGES
Of him, drew his revolver and began
shooting. Hills sprang toward Dow
ney, and. after a momentary effort to
disarm him, during which another
shot was fred, he started on a run for
q neighboring pool hall, and there
found refuge. Five shots were fired,
one striking Hills in the hip and two
in the right arm, one of which came
out at the elbow. A physician quick
ly removed the others aud dressed the
wounds, and Hills does not seem to DC
very seriously wounded at this time.
Mr.. Downey was put under arrest and
quickly gave bond. Hills is able to
be about, and it is feared there may
be another collision between the men.

cause Of the shooting. to which there
was no witness. There was no wea-

For several months past there has
been bad blood between these Young
men, both OF whom are about nineteen
years old, and their families. growing
ont OF n controversy over a line Of fence
separating their cattle ranges and built
by the Forces. Force claims that at
a previous meeting Harvey and his
father, II. II. Russell. threatened TO
kill him.
Sunday the young men met on the
prairie with the result that Russell
was killed. The only thing that Force
has to say is that he did not know
Russell was unarmed and feared that
the latter would attempt to carry out
his previous threat. What appears
very damaging to Force is that he shot
his victim three times. the last time
through the head, after Russell had
fallen to the ground.
Young Russell is a brother of Charles

state Receives No Bids on Penitentiary
Buildings.
Not a single bid was received by the
board Of public lands and buildings in
response to a request for contractors
TO come forward and tell how much
they wanted for constructing a new
administration building at the peni-
tertiary. This rather singular termi-
nation is puzzling the board. Someone
suggested that the contractors were
too busy with other work to attempt
new jobs. A contractor who had fig
ured on the work said he knew no
contractor could do the work for the
appropriation of $75, 900 which is avail
able, and for this reason no bids were
presented. The members of the board
are considering the advisability of ask
ing for bids of material only. II this
is done convict labor will be used to
construct the building. Governor
Dietrich recommended an %appropria-
ton exceeding 500, 600, but the legis-
lature objected.
The board of purchase and supplies
has let the contract for furnishing
the new wing of the Lincoln hospital
for the insane. An Omaha firm will
furnish the mattresses, the A. NJ. Da.
Wis company of Lincoln will furnish
bedsteads, and the Rudge & Guenzel

Child labor in the cotton mills Of
Georgia has been doomed to abolition
by the spinners of that state, who have
been in session at Warm Spring for
IA week. Having secured lightweight
signatures to the agreement, now they
declare that nc child less than lo years

or wooden mill under any circumstances
and that no child less than II years old
shall be allowed to work therein al all,
unless such child has n widowed moth
or or physically disabled parent de-
pendent for support upon It's labor.
No child under 10 years of age shall be
permitted to work in any such mill or
factory under any circumstances.
In addition the state legislature is
called on to provide long term schools
for the children thus thrown out of
work. This step is taken to head off
the work Of labor a~gitators. The pur-
pose Of the millers Is to do away with
child labor altogether.

Physicians of Newark Relieve Addiction
Of seven-Year-Oid Girl.
For six years, since she was six years

with a shoe button In her nose. Doe

believed that Lille would outgrow the
affiction. The swelling became very
painful a few days ago and Mrs. Engier
took her child to st. Michael's hospital.
DIR. Sutphen decided that there was
some foreign substance in the nose. So
an operation was performed and the
button found. Flesh had grown over
it. The child had instant relief. Mrs.

on the floor and thrust il into her nos
