to try the pint bottle Of ale which he hao
received. He had scarcely swallowed half
a glass of the beverage when he was seized
with corvulsions and fell to the floor. 1t
Is declared he Immediately realized he was
poisoned either by mistake or design, for
in his agony he requested his wife, who had
not vet touched her portion of the ale, &c
keep that which was left, as 1t did moi
taste right. That was the last thing he
was able to say and he died before the
hospital was reached.
Unusual as are the poisoning features OF
the case, more extraordinary is the motive
the police assign for what they are certain
is a murder. Though DR.. Wilson had been
living for more than twelve years In the
house where he drank the fatal potion he
never put out a physicians sign and was
not known in a general sense as a prac-
titioner. He had, however, a large clientele,
made up mostly, the police officials assert,
Of prominent women. The police officials
have learned, they allege, that DR.. Wilson
attended during a fatal illness a member
Of the family of a young man who will
be charged with being the poisoner. The
death, it is alleged, caused the young man
70 brood until he could no longer contain
himself. when he sought to put an end t.
the doctors practice by sending him poison
rather than go into court and have his
family history exposed to the world. This
is the remarkable story the police have
unearthed in the days Investigation of the
death. How soon they will be ready to
act in the case they will not say.

POISONED ALE FOR DOCTOR
Young Man Alleged to Have Sent
Bottle by Express to Phila-
deIphia Physician.

PHILADELPHIA. June 9O-The laying
bare of a most sensational murder is prom
Used by the authorities in the case of Dr..
William II. Wilson of this city, who died
at his home on Friday night after drinking
a portion of a bottle Of ale which had been
sent to him for trial. An autopsy per-
formed by the coroners physician and an
examination made Of the viscera taken
from the body, according to the coroner,
proves conclusively that DR.. Wilson died of
cyanide of Potassium poisoning. The ale
came to the physician on Tuesday a week
ago by express and in the mail on the same
day he received a typewriter form, pur-
porting to have been sent by the Peter
Schemm Brewing company of this city, in
forming him that a sample bottle of ale
had been sent to him for trial.
Investigation showed, according to the
police authorities, that Schemm brews no
ale and that the company never sent any
such letter as that received by the ply
sician. After receiving the ale DR.. Wilson
put II in the refrigerator in his North
Seventh street home, and went to his coun-
, try home at Cornwells. Just outside of the
city. He returned Friday and on reaching

but he nevertheless was not backward in
Aexpressing his views.

This Nebraska anti-injunction plank,

BANK CLEARINGS co WAY UP
Increase Fourteen Millions for First
Six Months of 1908.
INDEX TO THE GENERAL BUSINESS
Records for the Period Immediately
Following the Stringency Have
Been Broken by steady
Growth Of Trade.

An increase of SO, 1000 in the Omaha
bank clearings FOR the six months of 1908,
ending Tuesday, as compared to the same
six months last year, is an unmistakable
index to the general business conditions
existing in Omaha during the first half of
19OS-the six months following the panic
that is giving comfort to Omaha business
men.
June, last year, was one of the big months
of the year, but the clearings for June
this year exceed those of the same period
last year by $4,000.
The total clearings for the six months
which ended Tuesday were 1886, 634,656, the
clearings last year for the same six months
being $3.50, 6Si,471.
During the six months just past, records
of the Clearing House association have
been broken perhaps more lines for days
clearings than during any similar period
for many years. Many days the figures
astonished the bankers themselves and the
report Tuesday that the clearings for June
exceeded those of last year surprised many.
1T is a false belief that the clearings
show an increase because all the South
Omaha banks are now members Of the
Clearing House association, which was not
true last year" said a banker. The MEM
bership is not responsible for a single dollar
more being cleared through the clearing
house, than was cleared during the six
months of last year. The organiza-
ton was enlarged to handle the
cashiers checks last winter and all
South Omaha banks were made men,
bers, but the South Omaha checks
have been cleared through the omaha clear
ing house for years and the increase
reported Tuesday represents and reflects
legitimate increases in the volume of bust
ness at the stock yards, warehouses, whole
sale houses, factories. grain elevators and
retail stores.'

| 1905 and 1907 follows:
