WOMAN WAGES WAR,
Editor at Stuart, Nebraska, After Sin.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, April ia
mans social position in this world de-
pends altogether on which side Of the
bar his stomach faces. This Is the
situation, at least, in the words of the
one woman in Nebraska, and probab-
ly the one woman in America, who
owns, edits, sets up and prints her own
newspaper.
This woman, Miss Rosa Hudspeth,
Of Stuart, in the heart Of the livestock
section of Nebraska, is just at present
waging a war against the bachelors
of the community, trying to drive them
into matrimony by her editorial ar
row. These men of Stuart, for the
most part bachelors. are trying to
starve Miss Hudspeth into getting
married in order that they may be rid
of her attacks each week in the
Ledger.
The leading editorial in her paper,
the Ledger, says:
Stuart business interests are DOM
mated to a large extent by bachelors.
The bankers are each and all unmat-
ed The real estate man and money
loaner is a single man. The city at
torney is a bachelor The telephone
man is a dandy, the big merchant has
not been haltered. At every turn in
search of news or business an un-
mated half confronts the editor.
"At long range one would suppose
that a woman so situated would have
picnic, a gala Fourth of July every
day in the week. Nay, the editor does
not stand in with these gallant knights
of the cup, who prefer bracing drinks
to sweet children and domestic joys.
They have all banded together to make
her either starve or get married.
"It looks ungallant to the world,
but they mean it in the greatest kind
ness. When the pesky writer of foibles
is out of the way there will be no
fy in society's ointment at Stuart.
A woman has no place in business.
She keeps things flying galley west
and crooked Crowd her to the wall.
Don't give her a chance. Bravo!'
After thus discussing the methods
bv which the bachelors of Stuart are
striving to force Miss Hudspeth 10
win a mate for herself, she speaks In
this manner in another paragraph,
concerning the social standard by
which men at large judge them
selves:
1T makes all the difference which
side of the bar a man is on. III ne

he is all wrong. If he stands in front
and fills his stomach. he is all rignt.
Your special position, my dear SIR
depends upon your stomach facing the
right side of the bar"

Brooks put in a bad night and slept
hardly more than two hours. When he
was not lying on his cot, gazing up at
the grim ceiling of his cell, he was

narrow quarters, smoking big black
cigar. At o'clock he ate a hearty
breakfast and then received Catholic

end. Brooks said he was not good
Catholic, but he died a Christian. He

ed the prison hospital and the scaffold
came into abrupt view Brooks faltered
for a second, but recovered himself
instantly, and his sudden display of
weakness was hardly noticeable.
Brooks faltered for a second again as
the steps were reached, and two guards
assisted him up the steep flight. The
condemned man seemed bewildered at
the strange proceedings and had to be
shown where to stand on the trap. He
was faced to the east and little time
was lost in adjusting the straps about
his arms and legs.
Brooks a Strange Man.
The reticence that characterized
Brooks demeanor while confined in
the prison followed him even to death.
Not by sign or by word did he give
display to his feelings. 1t was a grim
proceeding, and Brooks. the central
figure. was even more grim and stolid
than the prison officials. He declined
to say anything and did not even
shake hands with those on the scaffold
with him. Once the straps were ad-
iusted, the black cap was quickly
placed over Brooks head by Deputy
Warden Smith and the moose drawn
