Dora AsmuS
Drinks Deadly Acid
Wife of LabOrer, Tired Of Life, and
Takes Poison to End It-Not
in Poverty.

Mrs. Dora Asmus, aged SO years, wife of
william Asmus, a laborer employed by the
Union Pacific Railroad company, living at
zzzz South Thirteenth street, Council Bluffs,
m suicide Tuesday by drinking
Two ounces of carbolic acid. Mrs. Asmus
drank the acid at the home of a neighbor,
MRS Nels Nelson, at whose house she had
stayed over hight. Domestic trouble is
said to have been responsible for the
woman taking her own life.
MI and Mrs. Asmus nave lived in Coun-
Gil Bluffs for many years. Both have
worked hard and being frugal have sue
ceeded in accommodating considerable prop
erty, owning the home in which they lived
and several other cottages in that neighbour
hood. They had no children and the only
surviving relatives of the dead woman
are an uncle, D.. Seeman of this city, and
two cousins, Mrs. w. R. Gooch of S17
North Twenty-second street, Omaha, and
Mrs. Roy Staeth Of 1922 Avenue B, this
city.
Mrs. Asmus was In the kitchen OF the
Nelson home when she drank the poison
which she had concealed in her clothing.
She staggered out of the kitchen door into
the yard and fell in the snow at the rear
or the house. She was carried into her
OWH nome, TWO doors distant and DR.. Earl
Bellinger summoned. This was shortly be-
fore s o'clock and death ended her suffer-
ings at shortly before II o'clock.
DR.. V. L. Treynor, the coroner, was
notified, and on his instructions the body
removed to Cutters undertakings
establishment. After investigating the
case DR.. Treynor decided that an inquest
would be unnecessary as the death was
plainly suicidal.
Late Monday night Mrs. Asmus went to
the Nelson home and told Mrs. Nelson, II
am tired of al this" referring, it is said,
to trouble between herself and her husband.
She refused to return to her own home and
remained at the Nelson home all night.
She arose early yesterday morning and took
breakfast with the Nelson family. Shortly
after breakfast Mrs. Asmus went into
the kitchen where Mrs. Nelson was. Draw
Ing the bottle of carbolic acid from her
pocket she swallowed it's contents saying,
This Will end my troubles" Pushing
past Mrs. Nelson, she staggered through
the kitchen door in the yard where she
dropped. Although practically unconscious
from the moment she dropped, Mrs. Asmus
fingered until 1880 o'clock.

payment OF a fine of $500 for contempt Of
court by violating an injunction restrain
ing him from the Illegal sale of liquor, IN
tended that Spokesman should eat his
Christmas dinner at home instead Of be-
hind the bars, but something went wrong.
Spokesman did not secure his release un-
til yesterday.
The suspension was signed by Governor
Carroll to take effect December "A. It was
mailed to John Lindt of this city, attorney
for Spokesman and reached here Christ
mas morning. Failing to find Attorney
Lindt at his office the carrier referred to
the city directory, which gave Lindt's resi-
dence as at the Goodrich hotel. The mis-
sive was presented to the clerk at the
hotel who receipted for 1t but failed to
tell the carrier that Lindt had not lived
there for over a year.
On Sunday Lindt read in the newspapers
the press dispatch from Des Molnes an
nouncing that the governor had suspended
Spickerman's sentence and he started to
investigate. He succeeded in locating the
missing document yesterday morning,
filed 1t with the clerk OF the district court
and Spokesman was released. The suspen-
sion Of the sentence however, does not
relieve Spokesman from the payment of
the fine.

TOP GRADES ARE
BADLY WANTED
PREMIUM Is OFFERED FOR
BETTER QUALITY OF STEERS
Prices Paid For The Poorer Grade
Drops 25cts., While The Better
Grades Remain Firm--Killers Re-
fuse TO Pay the Higher Prices De-
manded for Hogs-Blg Sheep Run,

Portland, Aug. 3.-Premium being
paid for real good quality cattle is
being considerably widened over the
prices in effect for ordinary stuff
For instance, present demand for tor
steers is brisk at $3.50 and all the
best quality that comes is readily ta-
ken hold Of by killers at that figure
| While few days ago, 1t was possible
10 obtain as high as 1925 for ordl-
nary steers, such is not the case at this
time, and nothing over 81 is today
available. 1t is therefore apparent
that while top steers have stood firm
and steady at $3.50, ordinary quality
has dropped 25c from former levels.
Northerners continue to be the best
buyers of cattle in the Portland mar
ket and their purchases in reality are
made at better prices than they have
been accustomed to pay on the road.
This is due entirely to the competi-
| ticn between buyers in the yards.
Hog Market Is Lower.
More determined than ever to es-
cape paying what they consider
"holdup" prices for hogs, killers seem
to have deserted that market and
can be induced to buy only by the Of
fering Of supplies at lower prices. No
hogs have been sold in the yards dur
ing the past "a hours ABOVE $40,
this being 15c below the levels quoted
yesterday This price was paid, too
for stock that rated Al in the yards,
the shipment in question being Of the
200 pound average.
Run of hogs in the yards today was
90 head, compared with 1870 yesterday
none saturday, 1876 Friday, 46 Thurs
day, SO Wednesday and Al a week

Big Run of Sheep.
During the past "a hours there was
quite liberal display of sheep in the
yards. A total Of 1915 head was re-
ceived since yesterdays report. Mar
ket is in excellent condition for first
class quality, but killers seem deter
mined to hit the half fat or poor quail
ity lambs Thin lambs are hard to
move at any price. In fact, they are
undesirable at the moment and ship
pers will therefore do better to keep
them at home until their condition
improves.

other loss today. For track delivery
