BOY SUICIDE
Remarkable Letter Left by a
6-Year-Old Bo y
Suicide

New York, Dec. 19.-After filing
two sheets of foolscap with a defense OF
his suicidal intentions, expressed in
remarkable terms, 10. year-old Joseph
Dobin committed suicide by inhalipg
gas at his east side home tonight. Be
side him were writings of the Russian
novelist. Turgenieff, on death, and his
own views.
~ do not want any of you to be
troubled with my voluntary death, "
he wrote. '.it is necessary to terminate
IN odious and useless existence, and
what is necessary is just.
There is a great deal of talk about
cowardice of taking ones life, be.
lieve it is even still more cowardly to
submit weakly to social conditions; to
allow ones individuality to be crushed
in the grind of commercialism. /
believe a serious blunder has been
made in bringing me into this world,
as it has been made in the millions
of toiling, drudgine human beings con-
demned to a life of misery and degrada-
tion."
The boy, a pale faced, understood
youngster, came to this country when
he was about 2 years old from Russia
The boy was a brilliant scholar, at
Dewitt Clinton high school, but left
suddenly a month ago and spent his
time around the house reading.

SIBERIAN ALFALFA
Prof. Hansen's Imported Seed
Proving Successful

Pierre, Dec. ia citizen from the
SansaIc country, west of the river,
while in the capital recently told of
the remarkable success of Professor
Hansen's latest trial with alfalfa of
the state. Last year, when all tine
state was very dry, they had but two
inches Of rain ON the uplands west of
the Missouri. and this kind of alfalfa
stood the year very we'll through the
exceeding cold of last winter and the
dry summer folio wing with one plant
producing sufficient forage for one
COW. The plants are placed two feet
apart one way and four the other, so
it is a very easy matter to know just
how much is gained from each. The
plants do not spread at all, unless
they reseed, but grow after repeated
grazing upon them and furnish an ex
ceptionally rich and nutritious diet.
II Mr.. Hansen has solved the problem
OF a sure crop for the west of the
river his name will be made i'm
mortal. The alfalfa was brought
from Siberia where the Bookings
plant expert went to personally observe
its growth and conditions under which
1t thrives.

COUGHS UP TACK
Iowa Boy Dislodges Fastener
After Being in Lungs
Two Years

Marshalltown, la Dec. i9.-To
have a tack in his right lung for oyer
two years, resulting in parents and
doctors to fear he was going into pull
monary tuberculosis, and TO rid him
of the cause Of the trouble during a
severe fit of coughing, was the expert
ence Of 9-year-old MILFORD Duncan, son
of ID. M. Duncan, of this city.
Two years ago last June, while TAX
ing a drink of water from a cup in
which tacks had at one time been
placed, Master Duncan swallowed a
tack. He suffered no i'll effects from
the experience, and the incident was
soon forgotten.
In January of the year following the
boy began to show signs of some severe
bronchial or lung trouble. He coughed
a great deal, ran up in temperature,
and showed many symptoms of tn,
bercular trouble. Medical aid was
sought, but an examination of the
sputum showed no tubercular bacilli.
In September. 1911, the lad had
grown SO much worse that he was sent
to the state university hospital at Iowa
City. He was a patient 10 the hospital
for two months, but grew no better.
An X-ray examination was made, re.
7ealing a spot on the light lung, but
not indicating what caused the spot.
The boy returned from the hospital
no letter, and has been growing
worse, losing appetite, and becoming
peevish and %fretful. A few days ago
his mother permitted him to go down
to view the Christmas windows. The
boy vas seized with a ft Of coughing
on the street, and almost choked TO
death, when he felt something sharp
stick 10 his throat. The prickiug SEN
sation in his throat caused him to cough
all the harder, and out of his mouth,
to the sidewalk, fell "a tack, corroded
with a bloody serum. The lad picked
up the tack and ran home to his
mother. In the few days since he
was rid of the tack the lad has
shown a marked Improvement in
health.

JUDGE JONES
Renders Decision Covering Title
to Indian Land Estates

Sioux Falls, Dec. 19.-From infor
nation received here a great commo.
tion has been caused in the western
part of the state, especially in the re-
gion which formerly was embraced
within Indian reservations, by a de
cision by Judge Jones of this city in
the CASE of George w. Egan VS..
Charles s. Mcdonald. in directing a
verdict for the plaintiff. The decision
affects the title Of much land which
formerly belonged to the Indians and
Is contrary to the decisions of the de-
partment of the interior, although ii
is believed to be good law in South
Dakota.
Under the decision title to every
tract of land belonging to an indian es
tate and probated in the courts of this
state is OF no value. The case in ques-
tion arose over the sale to Mr.. Egan of
a tract of land that had been allotted
TO an Indian, who died. His estate
went through probate court and was
put up at auction and sold to the high
est bidder In accordance with the re-
quirements of the interior department.
The Indian heirs were represented
by the United States through an at
torney appointed by the interior de-
paItment. AS a repr sentative of the
federal government he o. KID the sale
and all of the proceedings, and the in
terror department holds the title is
good in the person who made the pur-
chase. The person buying the land was
compelled to pay all the expenses of
probate and also the attorney for the
government, and apparently all the
proceedings were regular in every way.
But the laws of South Dakota pro-
vide that the heirs must have the say
in such matters. In this case they had
nothing to say, being Indian wards.
Thus the title is not a clear one under
tho state laws according to the de-
cision Of Judge Jones. The decision,
il sustained by the state supreme
court, will complicate titles in the sec
tions of the state where the coded In
dian lands are settling up. The state
legislature may be asked to amend
the state law and make such titles
valid.

THE RECITAL
Madison Young Ladies Pleased
Their Friends Last
Evening

Misses E. Janet Rae and Colletta
Fitzgerald. assisted by Misses Ruby
Leen aud Leila Clark, were greeted by
an unusually fine audience TO enjoy
their recital at Normal Auditorium
last evening. The fact that the young
ladies are all Madison residents,
Misses Rae and Fitzgerald having re.
Gently returned from colleges in which
they were successful in their lines OF
study, made their appearance before
their friends an event of local inn
portance. The audience in attendance
filled the auditorium. and comprised
gentlemen and their ladies who could
most appreciate the entertainment
which partook so much of local pride
in the young ladies who appeared.
The program opened with piano
solo by Miss Leila Clark which was
followed by vocal solo, If Were a
Rose, by Miss Fitzgerald. which was
executed in a way that assured the
audience of an evening of rare enjoy
ment.
Miss Rae as reader then appeared in
part first of The Littlest Rebel.
Miss Rae is a graduate of Emers n Col
lege Of Oratory of Boston, and this
was her first public appearance since
her return from Boston in September.
The fine education which she had re-
ceived, coupled with natural talent,
was apparent throughout the reading,
and the young lady received appreci-
alive applause.
This number was followed by vio-
lin solo, Alteration, by Miss Ruby
Leen who is regarded a professional in
her art, and as usual pleased the
audience.
Miss Fitzgerald's second number,
For You Alone, was rendered, followed
by Miss Rae in the second part of
her reading, the program closing with
The Rosary by Miss Fitzgerald.
The young ladies appeared happy
in tue presence of their friends and
were at perfect ease on the stage, re-
spending generously to encores.
AT the conclusion of the recital the
young ladies were warmly congratu-
lated upon the excellence of their en-
t~ertainment, and many were the flat
tering words heard today in the way of
comment upon the recital.
Perhaps no other town in the state
has seen more professionals in all
lines than Madison. With an annual
chautauqna assembly for twenty years,
and an annual State Normal School
Entertainment Course, the people of
Madison have become competent to
pass Judgment on the excellence of en-
t~ertainments such as the recital of last
evening. And inasmuch as the recital
was pronounced by members of the
State Normal faculty and others com
petent to judge, one of the very best
r~ecitals eve given in Normal Audi
forum, the young ladies should feel
that they had fully met the require
ments of their friends.
Should they decide to extend their
work to other than their home town,
IN evening of rare artistic entertain
ment is assured any audience that
would greet them.

RAILROADS READY FOR GRAIN
All Local Roads Have Prepared for
the Enormous Wheat Crop.
!, CARS ARE ALL ovERHAULED
Officials Admit That Business to
Inland Towns is Much Better
Than Last year-Stock
Shipments Fall OFF.

Beginning about August 10, local rail-
road men are looking for a heavy move
ment Of wheat and as result, the roll
Ing stock has been put into good condl-
ton to handle the business. Box cars
are being assembled at convenient points
so that when the heavy demand comes
they can be hurried on to the points
needed. Engines have been overhauled
and everything has been put in the best
Of condition for taking care Of the
grain.
Officers of the roads operating In and
out Of Omaha all look for plenty of
business. but none Of them anticipate
anything of a car shortage. Realizing
that the wheat crop of Nebraska and
Kansas is enormous. they have taken
time by the forelock and have prepared
for 1t. In fact, they are better prepared
than during former years.
Even right now the railroad men admit
that business is very good, although
there is a falling off in cattle ship
ments, as compared with former years,
due to the fact that the cattle are not
in the west. There are perhaps as many
cattle. on the farms as formerly, but
they are not on the range. There the
losses by reason of storms last winter
were very heavy and the herds have
not been recuperated to the normal. This
applies to sheep. as we'll as cattle.
In the country towns Of Nebraska,
South Dakota and Wyoming, railroad
men are of the opinion that business is
better than last year at this time. This
opinion is formed by reason that the
shipments to the country are larger and
more frequent. Groceries, dry goods and
hardware supplies are going forward in
large quantities and the demand for
lumber is becoming heavier than for
several years past
