TOLD RICE WOMAN OF DEBTS

self and Telephoned to House
That Night.

OMAHA, Neb.. Septembe- Mrs. Alb
bic L. Rice. who has been detained at
the city jail for three days in connec-
ton with the mysterious shooting of Dr.
Frederick Rustin last Wednesday morn
ing, late last night gave to Chief OF Po-
lice Donahue and County Attorney Eng
fish long statement. in which. it is said
she clears up considerable of the mys-
terry surrounding the shooting of the
physician. and makes it probable case
Of suicide. although the chief of police
declared 1t had been made plain that
neither Mrs. Rice nor Mrs. Rustin could
possibly have had any definite knowledge
Of how the doctor was shot.
The girl said she had known Rustin
since last December. and that four weeks
ago ne told her of his troubles. She
thing that he was in debt to an extent
which would make 1t impossible for him
ever to set out.
He had received notice to vacate his
offices for non-payment of rent. had Dor
rowed from his friends and had several
checks at the bank. with no funds to
cover them. This had driven him to a
deliberate plan to end his life.
The girl says she left him in condi-
ton of mental agony Tuesday. and could
would happen. She had telephoned the
Rustin home three times, and when she
learned he had not reached there she
was sure that he had carried out his
declared intention Of taking his life.
The statement also intimates that the
insurance he carried, amounting to about
$4,000 had much to do with his action,
he wishing to protect his family. Many
of the policies had lapsed for non-pay-
ment OF premiums and others were COM
ing due every week or so.

CITY HOTEL OPEN ALL NIGHT.
Municipal Lodging House Watch
man on Duty After October l.

Beginning the first of next month the
Municipal Lodging House. 18th street be-
tween G and d streets, will be kept open
all night during the succeeding six
months Tor the reception of homeless
men and boys.
Supt. Andrew II. Tyson stated today
that the District Commissioners have au-
thorized the employment of night
Waterman for the six months beginning
October l. and for that space of time the
doors of the city hostelry will never be
closed
At present it is necessary to close the
doors at 10 o'clock. because of an INSULT
cheney of employees. INDECENT wayfarers
who apply after that hour are compelled
to seek shelter elsewhere or remain on
the streets all night.
1t is the opinion of those interested in
the institution that Congress should be
prevailed upon to grant a larger appro-
priation. The lodging house has accom-
modations for fifty men. Guests re-
quired to saw and split certain quantity
of wood to pay for their keep. .
There has been complaint concerning
the necessity for early closing. Many
who find the doors closed have gone to
the first precinct station house. next door
to the lodging house. 1t was necessary to
turn them away. as rule of the police
department prohibits the lodging of in
digents in police stations.

poem written by an English girl not many
year Margaret's senior entitled within
the Gates From the Other Side At the

ing been so cruelty burned.

CHICAGO, September daily medical
inspection of all the pupils in the Chicago

of inspection as follows:
The inspector should visit each room,

him for inspection. The pupil in passing
exposes to view palms of hands and
wrists with the fingers of one hand pulls
the lid of one eye. showing the conjunct-

tongue. This hurried Inspection of pupils
should he made without touching the
pupil. Skin diseases, eye diseases and
evidence of scarlet fever in convalescent
stage can in this manner be detected.

Mot Labor Question

-
while the laboring men have been the
first TO complain of this denial of the
right of trial 10y jury in cases of indirect
contempt. il ought not TO be considered a
labor question. The jury system is so
essential to the administration OF justice
that the subject ought to appeal to all
who make study OF the science OF gov
eminent If citizens would only be on
their guard against the beginnings OF
evils. 1t would be very easy 20 apply
necessary remedies. but in the struggle
ent to the application of an erroneous
principle until repeated applications es-
tablsh custom, and in time custom
crystall;zes into law. 1t behooVcs us as
lovers Of our country and as the trlendS
of liberty. to insist upon the independence
of the different departments of our gov
eminent and upon the maintenance OF the
rights which have been shown by eN-
perience to he essential to freedom and
self-govcrnment. The jury system must
serve il if. for any reason or under any
preteXt we permit any citizen to he de-
MED the protection which it furnishes.
Striving for an Ideal.
LAS legislation is secured through the
ballot every one should use the ballot to
obtain the legislation necessary. The
democratic platform presents the ICedI
toward which the democratic party is
striving. namely, justice III the distribu-
ton of rewards. The democratic party
proclaimS that each individual should re-
ceive from society a reward for his toll
commensurate with his contribution to
the welfare of society. and unless some
other party can do the work better the
democratic party ought to have the sup
port OF all. whether they belong to the
wage-earning class or occupy positions
In which they direct the efforts of 9TH
ers. If an officer in the industrial army
were sure that his children aUi his chill
dren's children would inherit his po-
sition, he might feel possibly indifferent
as to those under his command. but the
wages may employ the children of those
who, in this generation. arc employers.
This uncertainty to future genera
tons. well as our sense of justice,
should lead to make the government
as nearly perfect as possible, for n good
government is the best legacy that
parent can leave to his child. Riches may
take the wings of the morning and fly
away. but government is permanent. and
We cannot serve posterity better than by
to the perfection of the gov
eminent, that each child born into the
world may feel that /; has here an or
portunity for the most complete devel-
opment, and a chance TO secure. through
service the largest possible happiness
and honor"
