KILLS WOMAN AND HlMSELFn
Double Tragedy on a Farm Near
Bertrand, Nsb.

Holdrege, Neb., July 5.-A murder
and suicide occurred In the western
part of Phelps county, about eight
miles south OF Bertrand, in which
Charles Benson shot and killed Mrs.
Anna Wallin and then killed himself.

young man, Is a rich farmer. The
mother Is III the insane asylum and
has been for twenty years. 1t has
been noticed that the young man has
not at all times seemed quite right
of late and the report has been circu.
lated in the neighborhood that his
mind was also affected. At noon the
hired man went to the house for his
dinner and found the corpses o. the
son and housekeeper.
The story gathered at the inquest
was that the young man brooded over
the thought that the woman, who had
been housokeeper in the family for
more than eight years, was trying to
cheat him out of his share Of his
fathers property and that he killed
here in a moment Of insanity when
they were alone in the house.

CUMMlNS REPLIES TO PERKINS
Declines to Submit Question Of Con
tests to National Committee.

Des Moines, July 5.-Governor Cum.
minis has replied to the letter of
George d. Perkins to the effect that
the bitter contest for the guberna'
torial nomination virtually has been
decided against the executive and
that, in order to promote party well
fare, the governor should not persist
in a policy that threatens to bring
dishonor. Governor Cummins asserts
strongly that he has a safe majority
of the delegates and is willing to
leave the matter in their hands.
The governor declines to submit the
controversy over contests to the ma.
tional committee on the ground that
the matter is one for the delegates
to determine. He says the practice, II
adopted, would be full of discord.

change that a 4-cent per 100 reduction
had gone into effect on July I, and

Yaznaya, Poliana, July 5.-Count
Leo Tolstoi, in the course of an inter-

terested him very little. When he
took up a paper, he said, he usually
skipped the reports of parliamentary
proceedings, but when he did glance
at them they inspired him with the
triple sensation of humor, irritation
and disgust. He repeated his well
known ideas that the regeneration Of
Russia would not come through a po-
litical struggle, but in a revival of tho
true Christian spirit, which will make
mep love labor, nature and truth.
