MURDER CASE NEAR GoTHENBURG
Body of japanese LRbOrer Found In
Thicket Along Platte River.

GOTHENBURG, Neb., Nov. 2S.-Ospecial)
Sunday a man was found dead in the
underground along the north channel OF
the Platte river about a quarter of a mile
northeast Of where the main bridge crosses
the main river at this place. The coroner
was summoned from Lexington and with
DR.. Birkofer and Constable Swanson and
others proceeded to whore the man was
found and brought the remains to town.
They body was found to be that OF a
Japanese laborer, who must have been muir
dered and hauled to the spot and thrown
into the. underground where few people
ever go unless for wild grapes or plums.
The murder evidently was not committed
for money, as in one pocketbook there was
$40 and in another $50 and other bills par
TALLY rotted and in the third a pocketbook
containing silver. II was the opinion Of
the medical experts that the body had
been lying where 1t was found for eighteen
or twenty-four months. The remains were
put in a sack and brought to town and will
probably be buried by the county tomorrow.

ALL MISSOURI FOR TAFT
Gov ernOr Folk Rules that Republican
EIcctOr Was Chosen in Dis
puted District,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Nov. 23.-Gov-
ernor Folk this evening decided that under
the Missouri statute the entire electoral
vote of this state should go to William H.
Taft. This decision was made in spite of
the fact that Brannock, the Bryan elector
for the Sixteenth congressional district, re-
ceived more votes than Kiel, the second
republican elector at large, who received
the lowest vote on the republican electoral
ticket. Brannock. however. received fewer
votes than the republican elector for the
the Sixteenth district.
The Missouri statute requires that an
clector shall reside in the district for which
he is elected.
Taking the vote Of the first elector as a
basis the plurality of Taft in Missouri IL
1,026.
! Both the democratic and republican cleo,
tors in the Sixteenth district ran ahead Of
their respective electoral tickets.
This is explained by the theory that som,
OF the voters in the Sixteenth district voted
only for the district elector.

Weman Describes
Cure for Eczema
(From Chicago Record-Herald)

(From Chicago Record-Herald)
Here is a simple treatment for skin
diseases, such as salt rheum, eczema, tet-
ter, etc, that is so good that l feel L
ought to make 1t public in your columns.
Dissolve a t%easpoonful of pure powdered
citrox in two tablespoons of hot water
and battle the diseased skin with the
warm solution 20 minutes at a time twice
a day. The only precaution is to be sure
to get the pure drug, just as it comes
from the chemical works, in small sealed
packages. and make the solution fresh
each time 1t is used. 1t must be applied
fresh and warm. Any good drug store
has this well-known chemical.
1t seems almost too simple, but the
best things are always simple. 1 cured
my husband of a very bad case of ecze-
ma on the leg, and my little boys ring
worm with 1t; also a very dear friend
who had letter on her hand. 1t dries up
the eruption in a few days and stops the
itching at once. A friend of mine who
got the prescription from a famous skin
specialist gave it to me. 1t is a priceless
discovery and l hope you will publish
this. MRS. h. H.

BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT
Young Woman Sues Clerk Earning
Seven Dollars n Week for Five
Thousand DOIlarr.

Charging Abraham Singer, a grocer's
clerk, with backing out OF his agreement
to marry her on the eve of the wedding
day, Ethel Ma~rcovitch, a pretty young
Jewess. is asking 5000 damages before a
jury in Judge Troup's court. In another
suit she is demanding an additional 5000
from Singers mother, claiming she inter-
fered and broke up the match.
Miss Marcovitch came TO Omaha direct
from Jerusalem three or four years ago
and last fall friends introduced her to
young Singer with a view to a possible
match. She asserts they first became en-
gagged Professionally until they could look
up the antecedents. Later, she says, the
engagement was confirmed and Singer In
troduced her as his intended wife. Singer,
she asserts, induced her to give up her
job and had bought some of the wedding

clothes for her and had even made ar
rangements to serve the wedding supper
and TO go to the court house to get the
license, when he backed down.
Singer, on the other hand, admits that
while they talked about marrying they
never became engaged. He says before
She would consent to an engagement she
wanted him to give her a diamond ring
and a furnished house. This, he says, was
too much TO expect of a grocer's clerk earn
ing 81 a week and board. and the engage
ment was never entered into.

cording to a series of tables just completed

AT So a ton, our alfalfa will bring to the
farmers of Nebraska s14,773 GA" says the
commissioner. The tame hay, at $3.50 a
ton, has a valuation of SIG, 1909. 1886. and the
wild hay, at s. a ton, stands for $24, 1893, 442.
This gives us the snug total of $500 ,O6l

out for their owners S5~,972,12S, at 70 cents

rrom a staff correspondent.)

LINCOLN, Nov. ~22.-Cspecial 1.-THE Ne
braska State Bar association met this
afternoon in representative hall and will
continue in session over tomorrow, when
the session closes with a banquet in the
evening. q
Tomorrow afternoon It is expected the
bar association will take action In the
matter of recommending to the governor
the selection of four supreme Judges. The
association will, in all probabilities, re-
commend five republicans and five demo-
Gratis, and from these Governor Sheldon
will be requested to name the Judges.
Some of the members of the a~ssocia-
ton. however, are opposed to taking any
action in the matter as the question is
one which the governor is to- decide fl
nally. But Governor Sheldon Informed
the president of the association, c. c.
Flansberg, that he would appreciate it II
the association would make recommends
tons and he announced that he would
not select the Judges until he had received
and considered the names submitted.
The attendance at the first meeting
was not as large as had been expected,
though by tomorrow, 1t is expected a
large crowd will be here.
The general discussion of the meeting
today was on the subject of the "Canons
Of Professional Ethics" submitted in the
preliminary report of the American Bar
3 association.
c. c. Flansberg, president Of the asso-
citation, called the meeting to order and
delivered his annual address. Mr.. Flans-
berg called attention to the fact that In
the last national campaign the courts had
been the subject of controversy unus-
ual in character and unlimited in extent;
motives Of judges questioned and decis-
ions criticised.
Mr.. Flansberg decried this action on the
part of political orators and at length i'm
pressed upon his hearers the fact, that
courts decide cases according to law and
the courts are not responsible for the
i law. Legislatures enact laws and the courts
decide every question in accordance with
the statutes and the constitution. These
things, he said, were never called to the
attention of the people by speakers who
c~riticfse the decisions of courts and who
place the blame for existing laws upon
the courts. Many lawyers. he said, hest
tated about going on the bench for the
reason that If their decisions were not in
accordance with popular sentiment or pref
udice they would be abused and shortly
retired, while the less learned judge wh1
could bow to public will and make his
decisions accordingly would be proclaimed
the able and the good. The bench, he
said, needed strong, vigorous, able Judges
who decide cases according to laws exist
ing. Decisions on technical points, he said
were equally as legal as decisions founded
on facts. for a technicality is found In
the law. Legal questions, he said, should
be decided according to precedent wher
once a precedent had been established &C.
cording to law and principle.

 One man paid for six years. his not having been paid since the law went Into effect.
 Work has begun on the ice plant, and will be. pushed to completion. This plant will be conducted by the Autauga oil and Fertilizer Company, in connection with it's present busi- ness of crushing cotton seed. It will puk out not less than ten tons per day, and will be ample to supply the local trade and ship ice.
 There is united effort making here at this time to secure the fish hatchery authorized by a recent act Of Congress to locate such hatchery in Alabama. A delegation of prominent cittzeus will soon leave for Washington in the inter- est of Prattville's claim for this much needed addition to the agricultural welfare of the section.
 This committed will be prepared to show the natural advantages of Pratt vile. The damage done by the storm last night Is being repaired as rapidly es possible. It is conservativeiy estimat- ed that the damage will reach not less than $2.000 In Prattville. The valuable shade trees blown down in some places cannot be estimated.
