SHOOTS SELF IN THE MOUTH
Young Farmer Attempts Death as Re-
suit of Too Much smoke
and Drink.

Financial troubles brought on by the
excessive use of cigarettes and liquor are
given as the cause of the attempted sui
eide OF William Tape, a young farmer
who lives with his wife on their newly
purchased place on the Military road. half
a mile northwest of Benson. Selling a
loaded shotgun when he entered the house
about 5 o'clock Tuesday evening, Tape
placed the muzzle in his mouth and pulled
the trigger. in spite Of the frantic efforts
Of his wife to prevent the tragedy.
Although the roof of his mouth and half
his face was torn away by the heavy
charge and several shot penetrated the
brain tissue, Tape still lives, although
Drs. Hall and Raber of Benson say that
death will ensue within twenty-four or
~forty-eight hours. The man is entirely
conscious and talks intelligently.
The couple have no children. Tape is
"a years old. 1t is said by friends Of the

CHICAGO MEN PRAISE SHOW
Great" They Say, and Omaha is
the Natural Place for

You can't boost the National Corn ex-

asserted Grant Ridgway, assistant general
manager of the Northwestern Yeast COM
pany of Chicago, who visited the exposition
with the Chicago grain dealers and Board
Of Trade. This seems to he the logical
place for holding such a show. Here we
saw long lines OF farmers, trying to learn
how to improve their crops, and this was
more noticeable than at the Chicago show
last year. You may know it pleased me
when I tell you I am staying over a couple
Of days longer than intended. that I might
have an opportunity to see as much as
possible
The National Corn exposition is a big
thing for the farmer. a big thing for Omaha
and a big thing for the country" said ].
c. Murray, manage of the grain depart
ment of the Quaker Oats company, whose
headquarters is in Chicago. THE people
of Omaha certainly have shown great en-.
terprise in organizing a show of such pro-
portions, and 1 am glad to see it is being
appreciated by the large attendance.
Il would like to see this show made a
permanent feature, so that the farmers may
look forward from year to year to some
! place to take their products to compete for
the prizes and also for some place where
they know they can go and learn something
to their advantage"
About fifty Of the visiting grain dealers
were so impressed with the National Corr
exposition that they decided TO remain over
a day longer than they had anticipated t.
have a better opportunity to look more
thoroughly into some of the exhibits. Some
of the members from Chicago vent to Lin.

POTTER WINDS UP AND QUITS
Receiver Pays All Creditors of Omaha
Loan and Trust Company
In Full.

BY an order signed by District Judge
Kennedy the affairs OF the Omaha Loan
and Trust ompany nave been closed up
and William X Potter, receiver. has been
discharged.
There still remains $s,26O.7s belonging to
the creditors who have failed to call for
their money, The court ordered this amount
paid over to the district clerk with the
names and addresses of those to whom It
belongs and he will pay It out when It is
called for, The order also approves all
acts OF the receiver and permits him to
destroy such OF the records and corre-
spondence as are OF no further use.
The company failed about six years ago,
but under the receivership of Mr.. Potter
the creditors have been paid in full and
the income on the property in his charge
has more than paid the expense OF the re-
ownership.

NEW DlRECTOIRE CHEMISE
1t is n Combination Garment of
Corset Cover and Petit
coat.

The daintiest things imaginable are being
shown in chemise for wear with the long,
hipless corset. The elimination Of the petit
coat necessary to secure the approved ef-
feet with the sheath gowns has necessi-
tated an extension Of the chemise TO the
shoe tops and this, with the silk drop is
quite sufficient. In consequence the skirt
of the new chemise is most elaborate.
The garment is made OF the softest, finest,
most clinging material and is deliberately
Unset with lace inserting. A flimsy, scanty
flounce may finish the foot Of the skirt. But
unlike the chemise Of past seasons, this sea
sons m~odel-the dlrectoire models worn
outside instead OF under the corset and the
waist is a loose fit serving as a corset
cover. This hides the lines OF the CORSET
and at the same time preserves the slim,
clinging effect.

Fathers Horrible Deed.

Lake City special in the News
and Courier: News reached
Lake City this afternoon of a
most deplorable tragedy, which
occurred in the Lyman section OF
Florence County yesterday after
noon late.
Details are meagre, but it
seems that Thomas Summerford, =,
a white man, living just few
miles from Hyman, attended the
campaign meeting at Hyman
yesterday, and in the afternoon
loaded up on booze and went
home and promptly raised row
in his family. In the excitem ent
he picked up one OF his little boys
and thrust him against the banis-
ter with such force it broke the
child's back, from which injury
he died in a very few minutes.
1t seems from all reports that
Summerford is very quiet and
peaceable man when not under
the Influence of whiskey, which
makes the case all the more sad.
