Wanted to Die In His Arms.

sen, the 19-year-old daughter of Chris
Hansen of Creighton, just before she
suicided by drinking carbolic acid
week ago, have been made public and
are printed in the Creighton News.
The letters show that the young wo-

ment and taken up with another girl.
In her letters Miss Hansen said she

away for Edna, and when she gets a
big girl tell her they are from her
dead sister. All my dishes | want
you to have, and. oh yes, that jacket

And now, | want you all to treat
Oscar like your own son, he will be
almost crazy, but don't look down on
him. he is young and don't know how
great my love is for him.
Papa, want you and all to be awful
good to Carrie and don't let her DO
very much work, and send her away
to school; let her have a good school
ing, and there is dear little Edna,
bless her little heart If | only had
her in my arms now, and Lewis and
George and Raymond, tell them all to
be good and not to forget their broken
hearted sister. How | long to see
you all now, so will close with all the

These brief sentences marked the re-

the long lapse OF time resulted in the two
losing all trace of each other.
A few days ago Mrs. Devore arrived at
Belle Fourche for the purpose OF visiting
her daughter. Hearing the name Noble
her family aforementioned in connection
with one Of the new proprietors of the
Belle Fourche store, she called at the

was a possibility that Mr.. Noble might
be a distant relative, as she, of course
remembered that several Of the Mobiles. IN
addition to her brother. had come west
shortly after the war of the rebellion.
She was introduced TO Mr.. Noble, whom
she did not recognize as her brother. But

Mrs. DeVore realized that she had at last
found her long-lost brother.

HELPING OUT HALTING ACTOR
How n sporty 'FOrty-Niner Gave
the Elder Booth n
Pe@=t.

In the golden days of California Bret
Hsrte was asked one evening by a Chicago
man to relate the most amusing experience
Of hi life on the Pacific coast. Bret Harte
replied at once that this was easily done
and told the following story:
The elder Booth was playing an engage
ment at the height of the gold fever. Every
week miners we're coming down by hun
dreds from their camps to see the great
~tragedian in "Othello." At every evening
performance there would be several score
of them in the best seats in the house.
One evening a large fellow in a red shirt.
rough coat and heavy boots took a seat on
the aisle in front OF Bret Harte. Around
him he spread with every breath the aroma
OF forty-rod whisky. Moreover, at every
curtain he went out to refresh himself, re-
turning with a stronger aroma and in
creased interest in the play. At each eli
max the thrills seemed to permeate his
whole body, so intense was his interest.
However, nothing moved him out OF the
ordinary until the scene between Othello
and Iago in the matter OF the handker-
chief. 1t will be recalled by every reader
Of Shakespeare that in this scene OtheIlo
tries to argue himsslf out of his Jealous
rage regarding Desdemona, but that. at the
critical point of his argument. Iago offers
an objection to this effect: Yes. my lord.
but the handkerchief" These references
to the discriminating handkerchief of
Othello's wife had an electric effect on the
red shirted miner. His uneasiness grew
with each successive objection interposed
by Iago until he apparently could endure
1t no longer, and, as Iago, for the fifth or
sixth time came back with his Eyes, my
lord, but the handkerchief" the miner
tended his right arm, and. pointing with
excited emphasis at Iago, roared in tones
that rolled into the uppermost gallery:

man. and let the play go on!"-san Fran

BALTIMORE, Md, April 2-William F.
Downs, the young clerk in the office of the
city register, was held today in $4,000 bail

Narrowing incidents of the murder Of Ban

by F1eance Banquo, impersonated by Ed
ward Allen OF Estherville. Ia, in his testi-
mony on the witness stand in the mock
trial Of Macbeth for the murder of Banquo
in the University of Iowa college of law.
The gruesome account was later repeated
by John Higgins OF Davenport. Ia, who
i~mpersonated the first murderer. A lively
tilt before Judge L. NJ. Byers took place
on the admission of his testimony, II be-
ing contended by Attorneys Hemingway.
Gabrielson and Herrick, for the defense,
that the state had not built up a prima
facie case of conspiracy.
In his opening statement before the jury,
Charles Merrick, a student from Bxirs, Ia,
outlined the plan by which the defense
expects to KEEP Macbeth from the gallows.
'Macbeth's mental condition was such that
he was not accountable for acts" was one
of the statements made by Herrick. That
the defense will endavor to show insanity
is now admitted.
The prosecution successfully examined
half of their witnesses and the trial is
expected to make as good progress today.

Ransacked at Webster City.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia. April 2-(Special.)
-When b. F. Keltz. state pharmacy COM
missioner. returned home from Des Moines
today he found his beautiful north side
home rifled from cellar to garnet. Entrance
had been effected through a basement coal
window. Drawers and boxes throughout
the house had been gone through and even
the bed covers removed from the beds.
Mauraders had almost turned the house
inside out in q mad search for something.
What they were after is thus far a mystery,
as nothing has been missed. Valuables
were left untouched. Just\prior to leaving
for Des Moines the commissioner had COM
pleted making out the examination sched-
ule for the April examination of the
Pharmacy board. Mrs. Keltz accompanied
him to Des Moines. The examination ques-
items, however. had not been left in the
house. but had been placed in a safety
vault. The police suspect the occurrence
was an attempt to get hold of the April
examination questions of the Pharmacy
board.

greatest menace to the health OF the COM

those who have recovered and have re-

who have been associated with diphtheria

carry diphtheria germs in his mouth or

to isolate all patients until they are alb

Green Paint as a Hen Tonic.

It only remains for us to hope that chicken
farmers generally throughout the land will
get busy now with the brush and the green
paint. If there is one thing we need in the
markets above all things, It is more eggs,
and cheaper. If the hens will double their
efforts. the price must tumble as inevitably
as that the sunshine must follow the rain.
The hens will double their efforts IL green
