of 1t. She is said to have stated to friends
in Spain that she had no wish to become

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, oct. 22,-Presi-
dent Roosevelt started tonight for his tour
OF Alabama. He left st. Augustine at 8
o'clock and is not scheduled to make a
stop Of any length until he reaches Mobile
tomorrow afternoon at 4:3o o'clock. His
day in st. Augustine was a quiet one. He
attended services in the Presbyterian Me-
mortal church at IL O'Clock. The pastor,
Rev. James Coffin Stout. preached from the
text, Worthy the Lamb That Was Slain"
He made no reference to the president in
his sermon. The church was crowded. At
the conclusion Of the services the president
was taken for a short drive about the city.
After luncheon the president, accompanied
by Secretary Loeb Surgeon General Rixey,
John McIlhehny and John Greenway, the
last two of whom have been his guests on
the trip south, drove to Fort Merton,
where they boarded a launch and went to
Anastasia, an island Here the party
donned bathing suits and had bath in the
salt water.
The president greatly enjoyed the bath
and seemed in excellent condition to tackle
the hard work that lies before him this
week When the party left the hotel for
the fort the mounted policemen of st. Au-
gustine, who had been waiting in front of
the hotel, started ahead as an escort. The
secret service man who was on the box
with the driver Of the presidents carriage,
said to one of them: 1--WE do not need you
now"
That's all right" responded the officer.
1--WE will go along; it's coming TO you any
how"
They galloped to the fort. where they
stood at attention while the president
boarded the launch and steamed away.
Dinner was served at the hotel tonight
after which the president drove to his
train. st. Augustine was full or strangers
today, attracted by the president.
A large crowd fingered around his hotel
all day, anxious to catch a glimpse of him.
He received but few visitors, however, and
got the rest of which he stood in need.
| This week will see the end of his trip.
After visiting Mobile tomorrow he will
spend Tuesday at Tuskegee, Montgomery

Coroner Henry Boeck held an inquest this
morning Tho jurors found:
That the said George stadler came to
his death at about 2:30 O'Clock Sunday
shotgun in the hands Of Frank L. Busche.
We further find that the said Frank l..
Busche was justified in taking the life of
the said George Stadler, and that in SO
doing he was acting in defense of his own
life and the lives of the members of his
family.
George stadler was a carpenter by trade
and worked in the local Burlington shops
for a time, but later with his family re-
moved to Louisville. where he worked in
the stone quarry for Newell & Atwood
for some eight years while his wife ran
boarding house. For some time their
home life has not been very pleasant, and,
it is said, that his ill-treatment of his
wife caused her to pack up her effects

The cattle industry IL vital to Nebraska.
While the production Is large today In the

realize how much greater this production
might be under more favorable conditions.
That this increased beef production is

is apparent TO the most casual observer.

The sentiment is strong in favor of some
equitable system of purchase OF the pup
lie lands that have not been filed upon

left, to be bought in limited quantities
would be regarded as relief By prac-
tically all Of the cattemen Of this section
of the country. They point out that a large
portion Of eastern Nebraska was pur'
chased at a stipulated price per acre, un'
der the heading of 'offered lands and that
a large number OF other acres in eastern
