graver character than at first reported and that his left leg had been ampu. tated above the knee.
 Much secrecy has been maintained regarding the condition of Thomas, who is private patient at the hospi- tai under the name of Mir. Jenkins, oc- cupying room II. It would not be de nied at the hospital that he is still in a grave condition.
 The operation was of the major or der, as it required an etherization of the patient of unusual length and se- verity.
 Some of his acquaintances heard the report that the surgeons after they had laid open the injured knee of the left leg found the bone so infected and the danger of septic poison so great that 1t was decided to remove the leg at once.
 The accident occurred at Long Branch on Aug. IA, when Thomas ran into a carriage. The occupants barely escaped with their lives. Thomas was thrown out. When he recovers he will have to stand trial on several charges in con- nection with his reckless driving.

Doctor Tried to Induce Her to Shoot
 Him and Then Take Her Own Life
 Tells of His lnfatuation For Her.
 Omaha, Ncb., Sept. 9.-The coroner'e inquest into the death of Dr. Frederick H. Rustln. who was found fatally shot at the door of his home in this city, developed several sensations. Mrs. .Abbie Rice. the woman who was known to be in Dr. Rustin's company on the night of his death, declared that Dr. Rustin had been talking of con- hitting suicide, but that he wished to disguise the act so as to protect his life insurance for the benefit of his family After much importantly he in duced her to promise to kill him and then take her own life. Arrangements to this end were made for Friday night. Aug. 2S, but her nerve failed.
 Edgar Allan Poe never wrote nor imagined a more terrible story than was told coolly and calmly on the wit ness stand at the inquest. The story told was of three people, all wanting to die. One-Dr. Rustin-because of his inability to provide for his wife and children and because of an in fatuation for a woman of the under world; the second woman, anxious and willing to die because of her love for the doctor, and the third young man wanting to die because of in- somnia. az
 Woman Refused to Die.
 The woman refused to die until after the physician was dead, the physician would not commit suicide because of clauses in his insurance policies which would prevent his family recovering the benefits therefrom, the woman would not kill the doctor because of her love, and the third man, according to the story brought out on the wit ness stand, just simply wanted poison and was ready to shoot and kill the physician in return for enough drugs to produce death. After shooting Dr. Rustin the man, it is said, was ready to take his drug and die, and the woman had made preparations to kill herself. The physician died, and the woman and the other man still live, the latter recovering from dose of dozen tablets of morphine and a. swallow of chloride of gold. The woman was ar rested before she could carry out her portion of the compact.
 Name of Man Revealed.
 Mrs. Abbie B. Rice is the woman, and Charles Davis, wealthy whose brother is vice president of the First National bank of Omaha, is the other man.
 The explanation in the mystery came when Mrs. Rice took the witness stand to tell of her relations with Dr. Rus tin. After telling of their first meet ing and subsequent infatuation for each other the woman plunged into her story and told of Dr. Rustin's de- sire, as expressed by her, to commit suicide. Rustin was heavily in debt, had been drinking and taking drugs,

WELL DONE.

The action of the Republican County
Executive Committee, last Saturday,
in deciding to call a primary election
TO settle the contests over nomination.
for county offices will. we believe,
meet with approval of an overwhelm-
ing majority of the Republicans Of
Ohio county. The election is brought
home TO them and they are each in
vited to express an individual choice
in the various contests, and it should
be the determination of the rank and
file to see that absolute fairness and
a free and untrammeled expression of
the people is had. The Committee has
shown that 1t desires to do what the
people want regardless of any personal
interests. 1t has shown that ii stands
for the interests OF the Republican
party above any man or set of men.
Those who may have thought that a
convention would produce the best re-
suits were honest in their opinions but
We believe they were mistaken in
their judgment. There is wide
spread feeling all over the country,
not only in Ohio County and in Ken
lucky, but in all the other states that
the people have not had enough say in
the selection of their officials. This
complaint cannot be made when they
are given the opportunity to express
direct choice, and with a fair set
of rules to govern and a primary con-
Quoted open and aboveboard," there
can be no just cause for complaint
This paper will take no part for or
against any candidate for nomination.
They are all good mn and we can sup
port any OF them cheerfully after the
choice has been made. We are con-
cerned however. that there shall be
no just cause for complaint in any
precinct in the county over the con-
duct of the election. We cannot de-
fend fraud or "trickery" in the pri-
mary, no matter who may be guilty,
and we urge upon the candidates, and
upon those who may have TO do with
the details OF the mode of selecting.
that they see to it that each man is
given a SQUARE DEAL"
