on Murder Charge.

PIERRE, s. D.. Aug, 1S.-Cspecial.)-
Fred Huston, l.. l.. Lloyd, ]. d. Hacker
and w. j. Hooper, were party OF Gregory
county people who were here last evening
for a conference with Governor Vessey in
regard to the cage of James c. IahRstrom,
Gregory county citizen who is held In
Arkansas on a charge Of murder. He was
taken to that state by detectives who
were hunting the murderer for large re-
ward which was offered, and who claim to
have the evidence to convict Langstrom of
the crime.
1t appears that the parents OF the ac-
cused man, with brother are living on
claims In Gregory county, and have asked
assistance. The murder with which he is
charged was committed in Arkansas on
MSEch g. and the Gregory county people
ca n that Langstrom was at Dallas on the
svslninG OF that day, and attended the Ma
sonic lodge at that time; that he was not
only at Dallas that day, but had been there
for several days before and after the date.
In June application was made to Governor
Wesley for a requisition in regular form,
a and as there was no request for APP
pearance. the detectives went to Gregory
county, and secured their man. hurrying
him out OF the state.
Since That time and up to yesterday the
, Gregory county men claim that they have
had representatives in Arkansas at sew
eral times to testify for Langstron. but
have not been able to get his case before
the grand jury. and they asked the as
sistance of the governor in helping to get

To the Voters of Nebraska:

This is a fight for principle and real
freedom against dogmatism and a passing
hallucination in politics AS the extremists
who believe they should be allowed to make
rules to govern the conduct of their neigh
bors are making a desperate struggle to con-
troll in the legislative districts, THE ONE
WAY to make sure of baking their designs
lies in my nomination and election. mo-
ment's consideration will convince you this
is fair and true statement of the situation.
Therefore, while extending my thanks
and expressing my complete confidence in
victory, let me urge anew that only by vigi-
lance and devotion can we make assurance
doubly sure.
Be alert and active on Primary day! By
so doing there will be no doubt of the result.
No matter how you are registered, you
can vote for me, but be sure to VOTE ONLY
IN ONE COLUMN, or you will lose your
vote.
Sincerely and confidently,

A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN OP-
POSES WOAIAN'S ACTIVITY.

It Is not vet a settled question
whether women are either intended OF
equipped for commercial pursuits, and
all the examples cited to prove the
affirmative contention do not settle IL
They are merely individual cases.
To quote a case to the contrary, Mrs.
Agnes Murphy-8fuIligan, the only
woman member Of the New York Real
Estate Exchange, announces her re
tirement from mOney-making pursuits
and remarks that her experience has
taught her that women should not
be IN business"
She began selling real estate thirty
years ago Her father died, and the
care OF an invalid mother fell to her
She continued her fathers business
and has been successful
But SAYS she, thirty years OF
business has convinced me that wom-
ans sphere is home and motherhood,
not business She turned to business
because she was forced to do so by
circumstances.
Mrs. Murphy AIulligan thinks that
women are not physically capable of
going into business She declares that
their chances of success are remote
and that even a small measure of sue
cess makes them forget home and lose
their ideals
incidentally, this woman suggests
that a desire to vote and plunge into
politics Is equally foolish
Not every woman viii admit that
Mrs. Murphy-Nulligan Is talking sense
when she says that the way woman
should ego into business Is to remain
at home and be the partner of her
husband, instead of defeating her own
ends by becoming a competitor
She has a pretty good angle Of view
she has tried business for thirty
years, she is married. lives happily

THE DECREASE IN MORTAL
ITY RATES.

The cost OF living has become great
er, but there Is some consolation IN the
fact that We are living longer than
we formerly did The Census Bureau
has Just given out statistics show i-lg
that the death rate last wear in the
bureaus registration area was only
Is TO each 1000 inhabitants. which was
four-tenths under the rate per thou
sand during the year before
The statistics give Us some interest
ing sidelights and shatter some vener-
able illusions. For instance. the sweet
free air of the country Is not so con
ducive to long life in England and
Wales, at least, as are the smoke and
fog OF dear old Lunnon-7 In the
country at large, 1t appears. the death
rate was I4-5 per thousand of popula-
ton, while in London itself the death
rate was only A.
Returning to our own country, the
Census Bureau informs Us that March
IS the most fatal month of all the
year, while June, the month OF brides
and roses, IN keeping with the eternal
fitness Of things Is the month IN which
- mortality Is lowest.
n Is rare day that goes by without
The discovery Of some new germ, but
the evidence would 90 to show that
for every new germ there Is a discov-
cry Of a germieide; two Of them, IN
fact, since the mortality Is constantly

The .op-imist who sees the doughnut
rather than the hole and believes that
the world Is growing better all the time
Is sustained by the facts IN regard to

COMMISSIONER LANE ON
RATE INCREASE.

The average Iaym2n cannot hope to
understand all the mysteries of what
Is generally known as the railroad
question" and ordinarily should be
conservative in his attitude toward
the increase in freight rates which the
railroads propose from time TO time
It Is safe, generally speaking, to leave
those questions for the determination
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which has had considerable ex-
perienee in penetrating the arcana Of
railroad rates
a bold and eIear-cut statement BY
Franklin X. Lane of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, made during
the present hearing IN Chicago, Is
therefore Of more than passing inter
est. The attorney for the Chicago,
Milwaukee, and St. Paul railroad said
that his railroad was suffering from
too much business" and that this
meant an increase IN the unit OF cost
which grew faster than the unit OF
income In other words, as the bust
ness Of the railroad grew, there would
have 70 be a constant increase IN
freight rates
At this point Commissioner Lane
made the statement that he regarded
It as a serious menace to the Western
country-wbose railroads were under
immediate Investigations the rates
are constantly TO be increased, and
then he added
We must work out this problem on
lines other than by the proposed
method Of raising the tariffs. II not
there IS no time when We can say
the maximum has been reached
Coming from such a source, this Is
a warning which the railroads Of the
country viii have to consider seri-
ousIv. In this connection 1t may be
added that. as developed IN the hear
ing. the Chicago. Milwaukee, and St
Paul sold to its stockholders at par
