Hamburg, Nov. after Il lengthy
trial the baby farmer Wiese, known
as the Witch of st. Paul has been

The case revealed a terrible career

COUNTY OFFICIALS
CALLED TO COURT
Attorney Charges That Funds
Have Been Misappropri-
ated in Lancaster.
x WE'RE INCREASED

Employed and That Large Sums

~Squandered.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2~9.-Aneging that
misappropriated and the tax increased.
Attorney c. O. Whedon has filed a suit
against the officials of Lancaster coun-
ty asking for an accounting.
The suit was filed in the district
court. The petition was a matter Of
public record, but it y a put in an
obscure pigeon hole and has only
gained publicity.
Whedon includes the county commits
s%ionero, County Clerk Dawson and
charges riotous extravaganza. He
asks that the books be Investigated
and the levy lowered on behalf of the
other taxpayers and himself
Excessive fees were charged, he al
legged. Last year he claims that 500, 900
was spent in excess of actual neces-
sites. Unnecessary deputies and help
ers are employed, he asserts, and the,
legion of otficeholders dissipate thei
funds of the taxpayers.
Though the taxation of 1903 is de-
clared to be eXtraNagant, that of this
year at 10000 over hat of u year ago,
is called worse. Mr.. Whedon says
$4,000 would be enough. This year
the sinking fund on October 1 was,
OF back taxes, would bring to thes
treasury in a few months 9 1000, far,
in excess of the legal demands. F.,
Mr.. Whedon says that in 1908, Sill
425 was spent in bridges, repairs. lum-
Der and SO forth, but that no such sum
could be legitimately be spent. The
amount paid to people not entitled to
investigation he prays for will produce
the figures.

SMOOTH
Woman Passes Forged Checks on a
Number of Merchants,

NeiiiSSi " "SiCfiGttlS.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 31.-A new species
iof graft has made its appearance in
,Lincoln. The worker is supposed to be
q Lincoln society woman with an inor-
ldinate fondness for bargain sales, and
the victims are many. The scheme
icarne to light through the experience OF
iChapin Bros, florists.
A handsome, well dressed woman en-
tered he Chaplin florist shop and spent
over an hour in selecting a variety of
cut flowers. These she ordered careful
lily packed and sent to the home of Mrs.
l.. T. Davis, giving the correct address.
In payment a check, bearing the sigma
iture of DR.. J.. p. Davis and made out
in favor Of his wife, was rendered. The
florist unsuspectingly gave the woman
the schange, the greater portion of the
$40, and she departed. The flowers
We're sent out on the first delivery.
When delivered Mrs. Davis telephoned
the florist and Informed him she had
mot ordered h flowers. Mr.. Chaplin
look the check up to the office of Dr..
Davis, who promptly denied ever hav-
ing seen the check before. Slowly the
conviction was forced upon the mine OF
the florist that he had been duped. He
unable to give the Eolice any ac-
icurate description of his fair customer.
! After the story was made public 9TH
Ter merchants ran to examine the
,checks received by them, and it was
ifound that the same scheme had been
worked in a number of cases during

RUMORs OF TRADE.
Union Pacific and Burlington Said to
Contemplate Exchange of a
Ea,, hb;I,e
Few Miles,

Columbus, Neb, Oct. 31.-The old
story in railroad circles which is re-
vived about every five years is again
said to be on foot. 1t is to the effect
that the Burlington II Union Pacific
will trade off a few miles of track, the
Burlington securing the Valley branch
of the Union Pacific from David City
to S~tromsburg, and the Union Pacific
acquiring the A. and N. branch of the
Burlington from David City to Column
bus. This would give the Union Pacific
a through service from Norfolk to Lln-
coin and Kansas City and would also
give the Burlington IN outlet for the
northern end of the Kansas City and
Omaha, which now terminates at
S~tromsburg.
1t has been an open secret that the
Union Pacific has contemplated buiid-
ing from Stromsburg to Grand Island
lat an early date, and it has also been
known that the Burlington desires to
head the new line off. Should the deal
as above outlined be consummated it
would give the Union Pacific a great
saving in mileage for both freight and
passenger traffic from western points to
Lincoln, st. Joseph and Kansas City.
Railroad men here regard the rulnor
with sufficient confidence that some Of
the Older men are asking for the runs
already, as about three or -four nsw
crews would be put into service.

ARCHBISHOP L.DER DEAD
Venerable prelate Succumbs to Il
Grip in Cincinnati After a
Short Illness.

Cincinnati, Nov. 2.-Most Rev. Henri
Elder, archbishop OF Cincinnati, in his
S6th year, died at I1:50 O'Clock after
suffering four days from Il severe case
Of grippe, complicated with extreme
weakness.
The scene at the bedside when it was
apparent the end was near was most
affecting. The archbishop was con
scious and his last words were this
prayer in a very feeble voice:
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for
US, now and at the hours of our death
Amen"
He then kissed a crucifx and with
a peaceful smile on his face breathed
his last. Those present at the bedside
were Coaajutor Archbishop Moeller,
Rev. Mr.. Gallagher, Archbishop Elders
secretary; DR.. De Courcey and several
Sisters of Mercy. All were deeply af,
fected as with dimmed eyes and with
prayers on their lips they watched the
passing away of their beloved arch
bishop.

SUNK HIS OWN VESSEL?
NOW Alleged That Roiestvensky Fired
at Russian Torpedo Boat.

st. Petersburg, Nov. THE Asso-
GATED Press is unable to obtain con-
1rlnatlon or the report that Admiral
Rojestvensky has offered TO resign. y
statement which has been published in
me united States. There is not the
n disposition on the part of the
admiralty to doubt the entire veracity
&f his report.
~ Ihe admiralty declares that it has
no knowledge regarding the statement
that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's ships
were injured ny fire from other vessels
OF the squadron, and it also declines
TO entertain The idea thai the Russian
ADMIRAL might have sunk one of his
own torpedo boats, m%istaking it for a
hostile craft.
The version of the affair to this eff
feet which is in circulation in st, Pc
tersburg is based on the fact that only
seven Russian torpedo boats have ar
rived at Algiers, whereas Vice Admiral
RojestVensky left Russia with eight
such craft.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2.-The arrival

item Of today's war news. The an

waS elesraphed by q correspondent OF
the Associated Press, confirms the
general expectation that Lieutenant
General linavitch will be summoned
by General Kuropatkin to assume an
important part in the conduct of the
campaign. General Linevitch is 66
years old but he is active as a young
man and is immensely popular among
the Siberian troops. whom he con-
manded during The Boxer war. He
acted as commander in chief of the
RUSSIAN forces prior to General kuro-
patkin's appointment.

plean corps, II now appears as likely to
be split up into two sections. One

General LineVitch, and the other viii
