Is Killed on a Disc.

Beatrice, Neb., June 1S.-The mys-
terry surrounding the death of Fred
Schlake, a farmer living near Pick
erell, has been cleared up by the con-
fession of man named Neville on his
deathbed. Schlake was found dead
near his home west of Pickerell on
August 4, 1900. He had been to Be-
atriCe with load of hogs and started
home late at night with considerable
money. The next morning Schlake's
body was found about a quarter of a
mile from his home with hole in his
head. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict that Schlake's death was due
to unknown causes. Neville stated
that he killed Schlake by striking him
on the head with a 2x4 scantling with
nail in it. According to Nevilles
story the two men had had trouble
over a lawsuit, which ended in the
murder of SChlake.

Stole His Fine Chicks.

Thieves in Norfolk are not stopping
at anything. Two breeders containing
1870 blooded chickens, all over five
weeks old, We're stolen from the prem
Uses of George r. Desmond, 512 South
First street. Mr.. Desmond, who has
charge of the Fair store meat market,
is a member of the Norfolk Fancy
Poultry association and intended to
take few prizes at the chicken show,
which will be held here next Deem
Der, and had gone to some expense in
raising these chicks.
The chickens were all Matched in
incubators and had grown old enough
to run around the yard. He put them
up in their breeders in the evening
and when he went out in the morning
to feed them he found his chickens
were gone. 1t would require the
strength of a wagon and probably two
men to carry the two breeders away,
he says. The authorities have been
notified of the theft and with the clew
which Mr.. Desmond says he has to the
robbers, the culprits will probably be
landed soon.

Death of Silas Ball.

The sudden death of Silas Ball, 9l2
Madison street, at 5: As o'clock Thurs
day evening came as a severe shock
to his family and neighbors. as none
realized that the end was so near, de
spite the fact that Mr.. Ball had been a
sufferer from Bright's disease for some
time. Many of the neighbors did not
even know that he was confined to
his bed, as he had been suffering from
the last attack only since Sunday.
The funeral will be held from the
Second Congregational church at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
There are three children: c. c..
Ball. $40 Madison street, Norfolk; Mrs.
j. l.. Beach, Trenton, Mo; Mrs. Frank
lin Baker, Seattle.
There are four grandchildren: Mrs.
I. S. Dickson and Mrs. J. S. Slaughter,
Herrick, S. d.; Clyde J. Beach and
Mary Ball. There is one great-grand-
child, Lenora Dickson.
Mr.. Ball was 76 years of age, a ma
tive of Western, Oneida county, n. Y,
where he was born in 1893. 1t was
only last February, the 23rd, that Mr..
and Mrs. Ball celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary.
For two years Mr.. Ball had been
janitor at the Junction schoolhouse
and he worked up to the last day of
school, just a couple of weeks ago, so
that the children who knew him so
well did not realize that his end was
near.
Mr.. Ball had been a resident of Nor
folk for more than eighteen years and
he enjoyed the esteem of all of South
Norfolk, where he was known.

Chosen Nominee for Land Commission
err over Trip County Man.
Pierre, S. D., June 1S.-Fred F.
Brinker of Lake county, wins the
nomination for state land commits
sioner over Kingsley G.. Foster of
Trip county, by 24O votes according
to the unofficial returns made by coun-
ty auditors, and it is not expected
that the official canvass will material
ly change the figures. The earlier re-
port of Fosters winning was based
upon the reports of eight counties
where the returns made were only
partial.
Mr.. Brinker has served two terms
as auditor of Lake county and also
has banking experience. He is mixing
in state politics for the first time.
This leaves the stalwarts with one
winning, that of II. b. Anderson, of
Dawson, for state auditor in addition
to their representation on the ticket
of two years ago.
The secretary of state is not in po-
session of any returns which indicate
the complexion of the state conven-
ton, whether stalwart or progressive.

sAcHELoRHooo INSURED.
Barrymore's Managers Hold Policy
With LIoyds' for $4,000.

New York. June 1S.-Many accusa-
tions have been made against the
stage. but never before has the stage
been accused of carrying its prejudice
against married stars to the extreme
of taking definite precautions to AVOID
n marriage as if it were a calamity.
The managers of Jack Barrymore, the
star of The Fortune Hunter" have
insured his bachelorhOod for one year,
Lloyds of London having issued a pol
icy for $4,000. If the youthful star
should take unto himself a wife before
the expiration of the next twelve
month Cohan & Harris will be COM
pensated to the amount of the policy,
for they figure that their loss would
be $4,000 if their star were to marry.
For be it known that Jack Barrymore
is one of the most popular If not the
most popular, matinee idols on the
stage today, and the fact that he is
unmarried means a difference of many
hundred dollars nightly at the box
office. not to mention decided shrink
age in the matinee receipts.
Jack Barrymore has made an am
davit to the fact that he is not now
engaged and that he does not con
template matrimony at the present
time, but whether or not he will be
a bachelor a year from now is another
matter He is free agent. as the law
yers would say. and besides being un
usually susceptible to feminine
charms, as his past record shows, he
is beset by hundreds of women, ole
and young, rich and poor, who would
like TO marry him. His position as
youthful, good looking, unmarried mat
inee idol makes him the target o
many designing as we'll as admirint
women, so that he is in double dan
ger OF getting a wife. For every yea
is leap year for Jack Barrymore.
These dangers are. of course, re
cognized by Llody's agents, and younl
