Mrs. Smith left the room and shortly afterwards heard her husband. who seemed to be running around the room. She called to him and he answered that he would come to her at once. The next she heard was a pistol shoe She rushed into the room and found her husband lying on the floor gasping for breath and ss soon as she reached his side. he breathed his last.
 Mrs. Smith raised the windows in the room and called for help and a physician quickly reached the side of the dead man. An examination show ed that MT. smith had placed the bar rel of a 3S-calibre pistol in his mouth and had pulled the trigger, the bullet passiRg out through the back of his head. ,. Mir.

Plain Words from a Republican News

 It is intolerable that a President of the United States should use his office for the qualification of his private grudges. Mir. Roosevelt may
 have done something to raise the standards of national morality but he Is now doing much. alas! to lower the tone of public life. His reckless denunciation of every one who ventures to question the wisdom of his utter ances or the propriety of his acts is injurious to the country as we'll as to himself Tn these last days of his ad- ministration he seems to be throwing aside even such restraints as have hitherto guided him.

MOTOR WAGONS AND ROADS

Amariesn Consul General 1T Paris
Outlines work Done at Recent
MeetinE-Tar for Road
Making.

The ever increasing use Of motor
Veh1cles. both pleasure cars and CONNER
cial wagons, and the consequent wear and
tear on the roads Of every civilized coun-
try. was the direct cause of the French
government calling the first international
road congress. which assembled recently
in Paris. Frank II. Mason. American con-
SUI general at Paris, has sent the following
report on the congress to the Department
or and Labor:
In the long list OF international con-
terences which have taken place during
the last year at Paris none has attracted
SO large and distinguished a corps of dele
setes or commanded such general and alb
sorbing public interest as the first Inter-
national Road congress, which met on
October II, and continued It's sessions
throughout the subsequent week.
The official representatives and other
delegates represented twenty-three nations
and included military and civil engineers.
highway superintendent from state and
local governments, presidents and other
officers OF good roads associations, promi-
nent automobilisss, and a fun representa-
ton of progressive. enterprising men who
are interested in road improvements as an
essential measure of public policy. They
represented countries with varying local
NOhulAbilSs SpOhb III many languages, and
related widely different experiences and
opinions, but they were unanimous in de-
claring the question of highway construc.
ton and maintenance to be one Of the most
urgent and important subjects now pressing
upon their respective governments.
Work OF the Congress.
THE work of the congress was divided
into two general sections, viz: construc-
| tioO and maintenance apd oFf;, ona rrar1r
ing of highways.
The first section dealt with the follow
ing subjects: Methods of construction and
cost OF various forms of existing roads,
macadam, metalling, asphalt, wood. stone
and other surfaces. the best methods of
repairing road and streets which are in
continuous use, various processes for pre-
venting dust and proposals for future road
construction.
ITO the second section was assigned the
task of considering the effects of motor
vehicle traffic on public highways, dam
ages caused and relation thereto to weight
and sped. road signals and the best means
of regulating motor traffic by an inter.
national code of laws.
These two main sections were divided
into subsections, to each OF which were as.
signed separat topics, and the discussions
proceeded with great zeal and interest from
day to day, the program being varied by
automobile excursions throughout Paris
and to various points within a radius o.
fifteen or twenty miles to inspect different
forms OF pavements and roads upon which

The OMAHA SUNDAY BEE


~ ROM Madison. Wis. comes the well
come news that II r. tho Badgers
whom Earl Eager Is negotiating
with for a second big game in
Omaha for the ~Cornhuskers next
fail. Eager stated in Omaha some time
ago that he was considering plans for a
second game, that the college was one OF
he largest in the west. and that the team
vas one Of the best in the west. but he
vas not at liberty to reveal the secret.
Now the cat is out OF the bag, and all
n aha and all Lincoln are roofing en-
nasse for n game with the much Wanted
Badgers. The Ames game is assured. Tho
oornhuskers are under contract to play
Ames this fall at Ames. The Cornhusker
game is the only large game Ames has
scheduled at home. That makes no differ
ence TO the management. The $500 re-
ceipts from the Ames-N Nebraska game in
omaha last fall is the finest argument ever
put forth for games in Omaha, for to pros
per athletics must have money, and the
Omaha game gave both Ames and Ne
hraska twice as much money as they got
from any other one game. Manager Eager
is a shrewd manager and he knows 1t Is
far better to have a few knockers during
the season and end with a bunch of simol-
cons in the treasury, than to have every
ihing run along line anu emu pTphe. II
Omaha Is assured of two big games next
fall II is certain a suitable place may be
provided for handling the games. Creigh-
ton will have a new field and will have a
full schedule OF games. but arrangement
probably can be made whereby the sched-
ules will not conflict. Pa Rourke might be
induced to build some bleachers skyward,
which would be necessary for either the
Ames or the Badger game. The Dietz
Athletic club. which handled the game last
year, is figuring on a new park, and with
the assurance of the privilege of handling
the games this year. would erect soma
