CHICAGO GIRLS IDEAL.
Model Husband Must Swear and BE
Able 10 Buy Meal Ticket.

An Omaha paper asked its unmar-
ried women readers the following
question: IF you were to exercise
your leap year privilege what kind OF
a man would you propose to?" The
prize offered for the best answer went
to Miss Myrtle Bascom of 339 La Sale
street, Chicago.
Here are some of the qualifications
of Miss Bascom's ideal man:
He must be a good meal ticket pro-
WIDER.
He must be able to swear when the
occasion demands II.
He must not stay out too many
nights in the week. But he would
not be forced to tell where he had
been.
He must be old enough to know
what life is He can't learn this too
young.
He must have a face that will at
tract dogs and babies. Beauty is no
object.
He must have just enough money to
know where the next meal is coming
from, and not enough so that he can
live without working.
He must be an American and a
gentleman, Foreign noblemen and
Americans of the Thaw class need not
apply.
Miss Bascom does not think that
beauty should enter into a marriage
contract. 1t is all the same whatever
the parties look like If they are suited
with each other, she says.

MURDER MYSTERY REVIVED.
Final Account Filed in Estate Of Man
Killed % Years Ago.

The Willis Skiff murder at North
Powder, 22 years ago, was brought
vividly to mind this week when Nc
Alister filed the final account in the
Skiff estate, with the county clerk
Of Union county says the Baker City
Democrat. The action has started
pioneers gossiping about the suppos-
ed murder at that time. Dates con-
flict slightly but nevertheless, the
fact that Willis Skiff disappeared in
the year 1886 and that body iden-
titled later to be his, was found in
the North Powder river the follow
ing year. is we'll known.
History and pioneers say that Skiff
was murdered on the steps Of a
North Powder hotel in 1886. The fol-
lowing year body was found in the
North Powder river and identified as
that of Skiff Others refused to be-
lieve this and say that Skiff is alive
or at least lived after the finding
OF the body. In any event, IA years
ago saw administration of the per-
sonal property in the courts of Union
county.
From that day to this the courts
have not dealt with the Skiff estate
The final account as filed today spec
ifies that although the estate inven-
toried at S924O. has badly depreciat-
ed and is not worth that amount now
by large margin.
Suspicion pointed strongly at the
time to the proprietor Of the hotel,
near which the alleged murder took
place. Long and sensational trials
followed, but no one was ever con-
victed of the crime. The proprietor
was soon after incarcerated in the
insane asylum.

NO LONGER ENTERTAINED
Belief That Mrs. Palmer
Took Her Life Because of

shawnee. Okla, March 31-The
belief that mysterious facts which ma
terially affect the suicide of Mrs
Charles Palmer here on the night Of
March 20 are still hidden from the
public. steadily gains ground and the
fact that the coroner's jury has as yet

Misunderstanding and domestic
troubles is not denied and the belief
grows that Mrs. Palmer took her life
because Of these troubles. The fact
than on the evening OF her death She
had become exercised over some

only aggravated other troubles, as
this in itself was not sufficient to
cause her rash act. Public opinion no

meditated on her part.
