BEATRICE HAS HARD PROBLEM

BEATRICE, Neb., Feb. 27.-(Special.)--
A problem now confronts the city ~oficials
In the coming spring election. At last
springs election the city was then COM
posed Of six wards and was governed by
the old charter, but the last legislature
passed a law annulling the old charters
OF cities of this class and reducing them
from six to four wards. The city council,
In order to comply with the conditions Of
the new charter, after several attempts
passed an ordinance reducing this city to
four wards, the Fifth ward being annexed
to the First ward and the Sixth ward to
the Second ward. This is the cause Of
the trouble. The terms of J. W. Burgess
and J. S. Rutherford as councilmen from
the First and Second wards expire. S.
Young and DR.. Hepperlen, who are mem
bers from the Second ward annexed to the
First and Second wards. we're elected last
spring for two years, and the question
now arises whether the latter will hold
over because their wards rave been an
nexed to the wards Of the members whose
term expires or whether the action of the
council in reducing the wards from six
to four and annexing the wards which
they represented legislate them out Of
ONCE. The city attorney has been asked
for his opinion on this point and a special
meeting Of the council will be called to
hear the opinion. The time for issuing
the call for the spring election is close at
hand and this question must be decided
before the call can be issued.

ing the courtyard, he shot himself in the

attention of Attorney J. d. Douglas and
he went to the scene. and. with help,
carried Mr.. Shull to an undertaking estab-
lishment, where he died thirty minute
after he fred the shot. He did not regain
consciousness.
A long spell OF sickness several years ago
weighed heavily on Shull's physical condl-
ton and was a great financial strain to
him, but 1t was thought he had recovered
In all ways from the effects OF II. He was
