Taft VIII win and Then Get
Married.

There must be a clergyman here" said
Miss Myra M. Beardsley of Chicago to
her companion as the couple Razed at the
sign. Believe In Cod which sways in
front Of the residence of Rev. Charles W..
Savidge.
Wei take a chance, anyhow said
William H. Thompson, the young wom2n's
escort. AS he rang the bell, their hope
that they had found a minister was con-
firmed by the blushing faces Of another
pair who looked as II they had just been
married.
Miss Beardsley. now Mrs. Thompson, and
the man in the case Journeyed from Chi
cago together to O'Neill and registered at
the land lottery. They also rode back TO
Omaha on the same train.
In the course of conversation the super
lative merits of each other gained place In
each consciousness and believing that their
CHARGES for a new home were excellent
in South Dakota, that Taft is sure of cleo
ton and good times insured when new
projects may safely be embarked upon,
they decided to do pioneer life together.
After a vain search for another clergyman
their footsteps led up Maple street, where
Mr.. Savidge gave them his blessing.
If neither is lucky in the land drawing,
popular faith in a kindly Cupid ought to
receive a severe Jolt.

MRS. G. M. STUDEBAKER HERE
Wife of One of Richest Men in
United States Visits in
Omaha.

The wife of one of the RICHEST men in the
United States spent a quiet Thursday in
Omaha. Mrs. George NJ. Studebaker of
South Bend, Ind, thus broke the monotony
of a trip from California. Mrs. Studebaker,
who was accompanied only by her maid,
stopped at the Rome while here, leaving in
the evening for the east. She was dressed
in a tailor-made gown Of dark blue broad
cloth and wore a medium sized picture hat
with plumes.
On the same hotel register was another
well-known name written there by C. A.
Rid, a Philadelphia business man. The
name "Ridd" is one we'll known in the
city Of brotherly love and ~stupendous graft
and is even more famous in Virginia, where
the Rldds, the Byrds, Washingtons, Carriers
and Lees foregathered at the House OF
Burgesses in williamsburg in early colonial
times.
The most distinguished name, however,
on a hotel register Thursday was that of
another Philadelphia, Montague Mendoza,
who is the representative of a wholesale
tobacco house. Aside from the use of the
name Montague In Romeo and Juliet, 1t
Is fairly we'll known historically in Eng
land, being the family name of that gilded
dukelet who married Helene Zimmerman of
Cincinnati and her millions. Roland, or
Hugh de Monte Acute (High mountain)
came over with the Conquerer and was his
shield bearer or commanded the left wing
at Hastings or something of that sort.

name in Spanish history has a familiar
flavor Of historical novels, being generally
hung onto the william, however. Mr.. Men

jim WILL NOT GO TO EAST
Mayor Decides to stump Northwest
Nebraska for His Old
Chum, w. j.

From the sandhills of western Nebraska
comes the word that Candidate Bryan will
not have a look in" and from the local DEM
ocratic headquarters comes the statement
that Mayor Dahlman will not go east again
before election, but will spend the remain
ing time trying to whip in line the people
living on his old stamping ground in
Dawes, Sheridan and other western coun-
ties.
Mayor Dahlman gives out the word that
he Is not going to the wetsern part Of
the state because he is actually needed.
Bryan will get a good vote out there any
way" he says His reason for going is
that his friends have importuned him so
strongly that he can not very we'll refuse.
Then another reason is that the national
committee, which a short time ago was
clamoring for Jim to go here and there,
has cooled off within the last two weeks
and has not even written the mayor OF
Omaha, to say nothing about assigning him
to Ohio, Kentucky or New York as was at
first talked.

DAVIS TRIAL IN NOVEMBER
Dates Not Definite, but Next Month
VIII See Rustin Mystery
Taken Up.

While definite dates have not been set
for the trial Of Charles f. Davis, charged
with the murder OF DR.. Frederick r. Rus
tin early on the morning Of September 2,
County Attorney James p. English believes
the case will come TO trial in district court
by the middle OF November.
The county attorneys office will have
some new evidence at this trial and It is
expected the defense will also have new
witnesses.
In the opinion of the defendants attor-
neys, there is much mystery surrounding
the visit of DR.. Rustin to the city, which
Harry zimman swears the physician made
after he went home with Mrs. Abbie Rice
and that person returned to the city.
Around this one bit of testimony and to-
clear 1t up the defense is making every
effort to find what DR.. Rustin did when
he returned to the city, If he returned;
who he saw and all the circumstances sur
rounding the mysterious move, Detectives
In the employ Of the Davis family have
been making every effort to locate a hack
driver whom they believe went out and
brought DR.. Rustin to the city and re-
turned there with him some time after /
a. m. the morning the physician was found
by his wife dying from a bullet wound on
his front porch.
Somewhere there is a driver who knows
more about this case than has yet been
revealed said a member Of the Davis
family. I'VE have been looking every
where for the hackman, but have been
unable to locate the driver. The compa-
nles have evidently told their drivers to
keep their peace and we may never dis
cover who drove DIR. Rustin to and from
the city early on the morning of the shoot
ing, but that he came back to the city
there is no doubt, and whoever he saw
on that mysterious errand knows some
thing-knows possibly where the gun is
with which the physician was killed"
