Mrs. Irish Ends Her Life.

Herrick Press: The little com
munity of Brocksburg, sixteen miles
southwest of Herrick, in Keya Paha
county, Nebraska, was stirred with
excitement last Friday over the find
ing of the dead body of Mrs. Ross Irish
suspended by rope from the rafters
Of the granary at her home about a
mile south of that place. Suicide was
the verdict of Coroner Evans, of
Springview, who arrived at the scene
of the tragedy soon after the body was
found.
Mr. and Mrs. Irish were married
about eight years ago, her name hav-
ing been Corbet before that time. One
child, a boy now about years of
age, was born to them. The marriage
it is said, has not proved an entirely
happy one, Mrs. Irish having at one
time separated from her husband, and
with the child returned to her own
people. Later, however, reconcilia-
ton was effected and she returned to
the home of her husband where she
remained up to the time she was
found dead last Friday evening

She Got Out the Paper.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Oct. 1.-THE rare
pluck of Miss Gyneth Wallace, aged
II, of Hayti, who proved herself more
vented the Hayti Herald missing an
issue and thus losing its standing as
legal newspaper
The Herald is published by o. NJ
Osbon, formerly editor of the Huron
Spirit and one of the best known news
paper men in South Dakota. Desiring
to be out of town for few days he
secured a printer from another town
who promised to get out the paper
regularly. But the editor had not been
gone long before the printer commenc
ed drinking heavily, soon demonstrate
ing that he was an adept at "booze'
fighting" and the paper was left In the
lurch. Publication day arrived and
the printer yet was dead to the
world"
At this critical juncture Miss Wal.
lace, who has been an apprentice in
the office only since last June. came
to the rescue and determined to her
self get out the paper and prevent an
issue being missed. She had never
had a minutes instruction in making
up or locking form, but she had the
grit to stick to her post and after
strenuous efforts which to the utmost
taxed the strength of the girl, who
does not weigh more than seventy-five
or eighty pounds, she succeeded in
getting the paper out on time.
"In more than thirty years as pub,
Usher" remarked Editor Osbon in dis
cussing the matter, 81 never saw an
apprentice with no more experience
who could have done it, and do not
believe there is another in the state.
If the fellow who 'bilked me was pur-
posely trying to cripple the paper, the
little girl beat him out"

Tripp Contests Bring Trouble.

Gregory Advocate: If rumors are
true number of people who have al
lowed themselves to be drawn into in
shutting "blood money" contests, will
have to face criminal charges in the
United States court. Several informa-
tions were prepared yesterday and ar
rests will follow at once.
The alleged malefactors will prob
ably be taken before United States
Commissioner Ziebach, at Lamro, for
preliminary hearing and then, II the
charges hold, they will be bound over
to appear before the federal grand
jury.
Lawyers who have been delving into
the matter find that contestants can
be held to account for the atfidavits
they submit in such cases. 1t there
fore follows that careless swearing
is sure to lead to serious trouble.

Thornbura Says He Killed Rakow.

Neigh, Neb., Oct. l1.-Special to
The News: The funeral services ard
burial 0f the remains of A. G. Rakow
were held SATURDAY forenoon.
The preliminary hearing of F. NJ.
Thornberg, who admits the killing of
RakOw, will be held a week from to,
day before County Judge Wilson. Ow.
ing to the large amount of publicity
already given in The News CT the
tragedy, DR.. Beattie refuses to give
out any information as to his findings
in the last examination of the muir
dered man in regard to the punctures
found by Undertaken Skinner on the
forearm, until after the hearing.
1t is currently reported, however,
that wound was found representing
what may have been caused by a So
bullet passing entirely through the
heshy part of the left forearm. And
is presumed that the murdered man
threw up his arm in protection when
the fatal shot was fired. The facts
in regard to this latter finding cannot
be verified until the examination of
the accused.

Omaha Strike in Politics.

Lincoln, Oct 9.-The street car
strike in Omaha will in time to come
probably have some effect on state
politics. For many years number
of persons have had an idea that G.
W. Wattles, president of the street
railway company had an itching to
represent Nebraska in the upper
house of congress and during recent
years Mr., Wattles has been making
some inroads into the affections of
the people of the Nebraska metropo-
lis at least, The strike of the con
ductors and motormen, however, has
lined up against Mr.. Wattles the la
boring men of Omaha and they have
declared unofficially to be on his
trail whenever his ambitions cause
him to run for office. There had been
considerable talk that possibly Mr..
Wattles will try for the senatorial
toga against Senator Burkett but
people of Omaha who have been in
terviewed are of the opinion the
street car company president will not
announce his candidacy at least dur
ing the next year, Many of the bust
ness men of Omaha sympathized with
Mr.. Wattles when the strike was first
declared, but became somewhat irritat-

Hereafter no money paid to the In.
stitution by students will be handled
by the members OF the faculty OF the
state university. The board some
time ago made rule that all money
paid by the students for books or ~
fees should be paid direct to the
treasurer of the school This was
done to avoid even the appearance of
evil. Many complaints have been
made regarding the amount of fees
paid by students and by adopting
the new rule the regents believe they
have placed the financial part OF the
institution on better foundation than
it has ever had. Under the old plan
no record was kept of money paid to
the professors and the treasurer had
no detailed report of it. This has In
the past led to considerable criticism

The temperance people OF the state
are preparing to attend the national
meeting of the w. G.. T. u. In Omaha
this month in great numbers. It Is
very probable from the date of this
meeting the temperance people will
start their fight, but just on what
grounds the campaign will be waged
cannot be determined. in advance
Members of the w. G. r. u. for the
great majority of them are firm in
the belief that the liquor question
can be solved only by prohibition
while others are of the opinion that
prohibition must come by degrees
and education. Those who oppose
prohibition as state wide proposition
are satisfied to force that on the PEG
pie before the great majority favor 1t.
1t will not result in a betterment of
conditions but the reverse. The county
option faction want merely n county
option law enacted and then prohi-
bition at later time. This question
may cause some discussion If an at.
tempt is made to discuss local affairs
and pass resolutions on the matter.
Just at this time considerable interest
is being. taken in the trial of prohi-
bition in Lincoln and both sides claim
to be satisfied with the results so far
that is the high license people say
there is more drunkenness in Lincoln
than ever while the prohibition peo-
pie say there is less. Six miles from
Lincoln is Havelock and street carr
run between the two towns and the
thirsty who cannot drink at the Lin
coin clubs go to Havelock. Lincoln
will vote on the liquor question next
spring and the result of that election
will have it's effect out in the state.
