CHARLIE DUGAN'S FRIENDS.
They Have Done Everything Possible
to Make Him Comfortable.

to Make Him Comfortable.
Charlie Dugan was a man who made
friends among those around him, and
those friends are doing everything
possible today to make him comfor-
table. He has suffered intense pain
from his wounds, but has stood the
pain without murmur. Charlie Du-
gan made friends because he had a
magnetic personality, was of keen
mind and was square among his as
sociates. He never knew the mean
ing of the word fear" and could
look into the barrel of a gun without
tremor.
His friends today have been recall
ing some of the traits that have made
friends for him. One, in particular,
was manifest something over a year
ago when a double drowning occurred
in the cold, deep waters OF the North
fork river, below the dam. Searching
parties with endurance and skill were
badly needed at that time, and no one
was more tireless in his efforts OF
rescue than this same Charlie Dugan
| For hours at stretch he would dive
down into the current of the river
and he never gave up until the search
ers' efforts were rewarded. Dugan
was one of the best swimmers ever
known in this part of the country.
During the days of the Rosebud
reservation rush he was at Bonestee
on the last wild night when Patsy
Magner of Sioux City headed an or
ganization to drive out the thugs
Charlie was in the front rank of the
firing line, and helped fight those
dangerous men without a thought o.
| danger to himself.
On the street he was quiet and al
ways attended quietly to his owl
business.

FARMER ENDED HIS LIFE
PIERCE COUNTY BACHELOR SUI
ClDES WITH PEN KNIFE.
BODY WAS FOUND YESTERDAY

Well Digeers Who Went to the House
Found the Decomposed Remains.
The Man Had Used a Dull and Badly
Nicked Blake, Gashine His Neck.
Pierce, Neb., Sept Special to-
The News One of the most shocking
suicides ever committed in this county
came to light yesterday when well dig
gers found the decomposed body of
Charles Kell, German bachelor who
lived six miles north of Pierce. The
suicide had evidently been committed
several days ago. A dull and badly
nicked pen knife was used for the self
destruction and not until several at
tempts had been made did the man
succeeded in ending his troubles. Kell
possessed an estate valued at $4,000
and the only possible suggestion of
murder comes in the chance that rob-
berry might have been motive, but
as he always paid out funds by check,
this is not believed to have been the
case.
At the inquest it developed that the
deceased had been somewhat de-
ranged and, deciding to take his own
life, had used his pen knife which was
some what dull and had many hicks
in the blade. From unmistakable cir
cumstantial evidence Kell had attempt
ed to end his life in the night time.
First he made an effort to cut his
throat and, instead, cut a terrible cash
in the back Of his neck. Then it seems
he went to the WELL where he must
have staggered around and returning
to the house, put looking glass on
the chair and a lamp beside it so that
he could see to cut the jugular vein
and, after see-sawing with dull knife
for some time in which he sawed his
neck very badly, he finally accomplish
ed his desire to end his earthly
troubles.
Mr.. Kell has been a resident Of
Pierce county for some years and has
no relatives in this country. He was
possessed of an estate valued at about
$4,000. AS he lived all alone at his
farm house, his self destruction did
not come to light until yesterday when
well diggers went there to work.

WILL FIGHT HERBERT DANIEL
Mayor Dahlman of Omaha Will Not
Recognize Him as Prosecutor.

FtSCOSfIZS Tim do Prosecutor.
Omaha World-Herald: Mayor Dahl
man visited the police station early
Friday morning and instructed the act
ing police Judge and the police depart
ment to recognize only Lee as city
prosecutor.
This was to head off recognition of
Daniel, whom the council elected city
prosecutor.
Daniel is preparing to file and have
approved his bond to enter on the of,
fee.
Acting Police Judge Cockrell said
that he would look up the law and fol-
low it and that was all he could tell
the mayor at this time.
Lee was on duty Friday in police
court, Daniel not having qualified yet
When Mayor Dahlman was asked as
to his views about the new appoint
ment, he said:
Il do not consider that it is a legal
one, and | have instructed the police
authorities not to recognize it. The
council should have made its appoint
ment Tuesday night, if it wanted to
fill the place. After got back to town
the council had no right to go ahead
with the matter, as their chance end
ed Tuesday night. At any rate, that
is what | am told is the law about the
matter"
City Attorney Burnam was asked
as to the legal phase of the situation,
and said: There is not a shadow of
doubt in my mind that the appoint
ment of Daniel is legal and will stand.
The idea that the council should have
acted Tuesday night is not sound. The
law stipulates that the mayor shall
send in a name at each regular meet
ing, and in the event of his failure to
do so it becomes the duty of the coun-
Gil to elect. Appointment from the
mayor was due Tuesday night, and it
was due at any time during that meet
ing. The mayor could not fail to
send in an appointment at that meet
ing until the meeting was at an end.
Therefore it was manifestly not up
to the council to act until that meeting
had ended. In other words, they had
no right to elect at that meeting. The
lOllOWlIS lOlIluS Il Cill was loouSu
for a special meeting, and that meeting
was held Thursday afternoon, and Mr..
Daniel was elected. His election was
proper and in every way valid. AS
soon as he has qualified there will be
no legal excuse for keeping him out
of the office.
"If this is a move to keep Tom Lee
in Office as long as possible, until the
, courts can pass on quo warranto pro-
, ceeding, it may serve to keep Daniel
: out for short time but that is ALL"
Chief of Police Donahue said he had
been instructed by the mayor to recog-
nize only Lee as city prosecutor. He
J said further that police department
: would take no hand in the matter fur
Their than to preserve order and wait
, for legal questions to be settled in
the courts, but would recognize Lees
( title until that of his successor was
properly established,

Lee Bailey was figure well known
on the streets of Norfolk. He was
of rather a quiet, retiring disposition

Scarcity of Freight Cars.

During 19O5,' writes George r. Met
calf, M. E., in the March Technical
World Magazine, "the railroads of the
United States ordered new locomotives
to the number of $500, together with
$500 passenger cars and 100000 freight
cars. These last figures give a good
idea Of the relative Importance of pas
senger and freigh traffic to a large rail
road. The rail mills started the new
year with orders for 100000 tons on
their books. "In spite of these
great orders and in spite of the
best efforts of the railroad man
ayers, pile after pile Of thousands
Of bushels of corn has been heaped up

Nebraska for want Of storage room or
transportation facilities; while In
North Dakota alone, over a million
bushels Of wheat has rotted on the

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
System In Use on England's Rail
ways and It's Method Of
Operation.

Train telegraphy without wires Is
the English way. The system was
conceived by Sir Oliver Lodge and Dr.
Alexander Muirhead. Their biggest
problem has been with the aerial wire.
In order to make tests under the most
disadvantageous conditions an old
car was used as receiving station.
The aerial wires were carried on por-
celain insulators, the height Of the
wires varying from nine to 115 inches
above the curvature Of the roof. From
the roof the wires are carried in a
small cable through special insulated
fitting to the interior Of the van to
the receiving instrument; here the
message is written by Lodge-Muir-
head siphon recorder. The transmit.
ting station Is situated In a hut near
Derby with an installation of appa-
ratus for sending the message into the
air. Outside the cabin is the aerial
wire, which follows conventional lines,
being supported upon masts 40 feet
from the ground and connected with
spark gap and coil for increasing the
strength of the electrical impulse dis
charged from the transmitting instru-
ments at the station. The experiment
ers find the greatest difficulty is due to
the large amount Of electrical energy
required to obtain successful CONVEX
sation on account of the short aerial
wire used at the receiving station.

THE MEN OF THE RAIL.
Through Time and Space in a furiou


Through Time and Space in a furious
Spurning the midnight gales,
The steel steed reels on flying wheels
Over the shining rails;
With good cigars In the sleeping cars,
Cozy and safe and warm,
Ye pay small heed to the headlong speed
And the men who breast the storm.
When the signal flares and red light
glares
Out OF the darkness dread,
Scant time is there for oath or prayer
By the men who ride ahead;
With rapid thought is the quick deed
wrought
That checks the rushing train,
And it's hit or miss, as the air tubes hiss
And the brake rods grind and strain.
Tis theirs to dare both foul and fair
Just as the Lord may send,
With steadfast heart from the whirling
start
To the good or evil end;
It's all in the work, though Death may
Turk
In the murky gloom before,
They laugh at fear In the ruddy cheer
Ynat streams from the furnace door.
Now this is the dream of the sons of
steam,
Men of the cab and rail,
"A level track and no looking back
From the lure of the homeward trail;
Well strike right through on a schedule
true
And never a moment late,
For there's no delay on the right of way
When we pay our debts to Fate"
