Judge Humphrey was one of the
real prominent men of the state af-
filiated with the Democratic party.
When II came time for Governor Hoch
to appoint the new state tax commits
sion created by the last legislature. he
rs med Judge Humphrey as one of the
commissioners to work with s G.
drummer and Mr. Howe, the two Re
publicans appointed. There was moth
ing in the law to compel the governor
TO appoint a Democrat to the commits
sion but he did so to give this body,
because of its important duties to the
whole people, a sort of a non-partisan
character And when the members
of the commission met for the pur-
pose of organization on July ,, the
two Republicans on the commission
joined hands and surprised Judge
Humphrev by electing him chairman
of the commission. This was rather
unusual tribute for Republicans to
pay to a Democrat 1t was really but
an evidence of the esteem in which
Judge Humphrey was held by the big
men of the state, irrespective or party

RICH MANS BRIDE A MYSTERY
Man Who Married Mrs. Sam Lewis
Welded Again, to an Unknown.

LONDON, March 8.-Captain Lewis
Hill Young. the guardian who incurred
a good deal of odium in London society
when he married Mrs. Sam Lewis, wi
dow of the famous, not to say notorious,
money lender, has just provided one of
the mysteries Of the season. His wife
died last November, leaving Captain
Young sS75.OOO and a steam yacht. He
has now married again and started
on his honeymoon in that yacht.
The mystery is that the name of his
new bride has not been revealed
Everyone is curious to know, for since
he took the trouble to make the mar
riage known at all it is suggested that
there must be some reason for the con-
cealment of the brides identity It is
conjectured that she may be we'll
known in society, and not proud of the
alliance
Although she provided so handsome
ly for her husband, Mrs Lewis Young
refused to see him in the last six
months of her life.

ROPE BURNED; NO KNOT TIED
HowIing Dervish Can Not be Married
Because Alarm Clock Sinses
Whiskers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Mch. Sowing
to an unfortunate train of circumstan-
ces, the wedding of Madadi, the Howl
ing Dervish of the Pawnee Bill show,
which was to have taken place yes
terday, has been indefinitely postponed
and the prospective bridegroom has
been retired for few weeks to recover
from burns he sustained in "a peculiar
manner. Madadi is the principal i'll
the dance of the Aissawa-a mysteri-
Gus band of Persian zealots who chew
wood, swallow mud and stones and
wound themselves with needles and
sharp instruments in their religious
frency.
The accident to the dervish upset all
the carefully laid plans of an ingen-
ious and versatile press agent who for
five weeks has been seeking to bring
about the marriage of Madadi to Zee
la Zamleh, the Indian snake charmer.
The Howling Dervish, skillfully led
on, courted Zeela proposed and was
accepted. In accordance with the ORR
entail custom which is observed in the
province where he was born, he called
seven of his fellow dervishes about
aim after the show was over last
Tuesday and they celebrated until
O'Clock yesterday morning. When they
retired each was equipped, as they are
every night with what is called a Per-
sian alarm clock. 1t consists of a rope
of peculiar fibre which when ignited
burns slowly and shoulders.
The Persian who wishes to be
awakened at a certain hour ties one
end of the cable around his wrist and
lights the free end. When it burns him
it is time to get up.
Madadi went to bed, but his brain
was so clouded that he calculated
wrongly and the alarm clock" set his
whiskers on fire and burned them off.
Now the snake charmer will not marry
him, claiming he has lost his beauty.

olO SOLDIER BEGs IN VAIN
Veteran of Union Army Whose Five
Children Were Butchered Can't
Get Pension.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March. S.
His five children butchered by Indians
while he was serving in the Union
army, Heson Wiseman, of Cedar
county, Nebraska, now 80 years old
is begging the government for a small
pension to sustain himself in his Old
age.
Representatives. Boyd, of Nebras-
ka, pushed the fight in the next
congress for the pension. Trhee times
the old mans plea has been listened
to with deaf ears by congress.
Wiseman with his family was liv-
ing in Cedar county when in 1868 ne
enlisted as a member of Company l,
Second Nebraska Cavalry, which was
doing duty as home guards. His regl-
ment was ordered into the DakOtas
and Wiseman was begged by his
friends not to go, for fear the Indians
would massacre his family if they
were left alone.
Wiseman had only recently gone to
the new country from West Virginia
and did not believe the stories he had
heard of the savagery of the Indians.
He left his family and went with his
regiment On July, 1863. while Wise
mans wife and mother were at Yank-
ton buying supplies Indians swoOped
down on the little homestead and
butchered the five children, looted the
home and burned it. While the In
dams were still about the homestead
Mrs Wiseman and her mOther-in-laW
returned, but escaped by hiding in the
tall prairie grass.
A month later Wiseman heard ru-
NOR that family had been butchered
in Cedar county, and that an Indian
had been seen at the Crow agency
wearing a pair of his wife's shoes. He
left his regiment without leave and
hurried 200 miles to his home and
there learned the details of the mas
sacre.
On the day following the butchery
neighbors went to the home and found
a 5-year-old boy and his 15-year-old SIS
ter still alive, but both died without
being able to make any statement.
Because Wiseman quit his regiment
without leave to go to his home MS
record is not clear, and for that rea--
son he has been unable to get a pen

KEEPS BODY OF DEAD WIFE
N. c. Gray Passes the Days Weeping
Beside Coffin.

ASHEVILLE, n. c., March S.-W. C.
Gray of Edgerton, Mass, who came
here some time ago and took a villa
for the season, has been shut up in his
house for two weeks with his dead
wife's body and refuses to leave it.
He had his wife's body embalmed, and
spends almost the entire time by the
side of the corpse. He says he not
going to be separated from her, even
by death. All efforts to comfort him
by his neighbors have been refused.
He refuses admittance to all visitors
Crepe was put on the house by him the
day his wife died, and he will not
allow it to be removed. He has almost
become distracted by grief. His young
son, who is with him, has interceded
in behalf of their neighbors. The old
man replies:
"They didn't come to see her when
she was sick and they can't come
now
He is historical at times, and sits for
hours by the coffin, weeping. He says
he will take the body back to their old
home in Massachusetts when the win
ter season has passed in the north, and
that he will not allow it to be buried
until the frost is out of the ground.
Mrs. Gray died of pulmonary con-
gestion. The house was at once closed.
crepe hung on the door, and an under
taker summoned, who was instructed to
clothe the body in fine raiment and
place it in the most expensive casket
that could be obtained. After this was
done, no one but a son and daughter
were allowed admittance. The interest
of the neighbors was aroused by the
fact that the front door of the house
had been draped with crepe for two
weeks.
Gray, who is about IS years of age
becomes violent when any suggestions
are made to him about the disposal
of the body. During the daytime he
leaves the body only to take slight
nourishment, and most of the nights
he spends in lonely vigil by the casket.
