District Court
in Merrick County

CENTRAL CITY. Neb., April 2s.-lspe-
cial. THE district court. with Judge
George H. Thomas of Columbus on the
bench and /. V. Speice, court reporter,
and the jury panel for the term in at
tendance, resumed its sitting in Central
City Monday.
The first case to be taken up was the
action Of ex-Sheriff Milton R. Her against
Merrick county for a sum claimed to be
due him on jailer fees. This is an action
similar to the suits brought by other
sheriffs over the state under a provision
Of the statutes which they claim allows
them tailer fees outside OF the regular
salary paid the sheriff. The action was
tried first before jury and the attorneys
for the county In their defense claimed
an offset for rent for the rooms above
the jail. After the case was fully pre-
scented Judge Thomas took the case away
from the jury and instructed a verdict
for the plaintiff In the sum OF N.2o4so
After the verdict was rendered. the plain
tiff made a proposition to the county
board that he would release the county
from all further claim II he we're paid
81, 900 In full settlement. The board, by
unanimous resolution, declared that II the
county owed the claim they desired to
pay It In full, but that they wished to
see the matter ruled upon by the supreme
court SO that they might have rule for
future claims of this kind and conse-
quently they rejected the ex-sheriffs
offer. The case will be appealed to the
supreme court.
The case Of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm. brought by the state
against Frank Larsen, was given to the
Jury this morning and resulted in q YER
dict of guilty of assault. Larsen was
charged with assaulting young Austrian
by the name Of waganorfer. on his farm
on Prairie island last spring. Larsen has
not yet received his sentence.
John Marquis. who was last week found
guilty Of keeping liquor for the purpose
of illegal sale, received his sentence this
morning. He was fined 800 and costs. In
the action OF Mertlesen against Jensen

WOMEN OUTLINE THE MEN
Beat Men over Two TO One In
Marathon for the Century
Mark.

From the earliest recorded times women
have been spoken Of as frail. delicate
creatures Eminent writer's have asserted
that aside from their natural constitu-
tional frailty women were inyalids one
fifth of the TINA Yet the dawn Of the
twentieth century finds us with abun-
dant proof OF woman,s physical superiority
over man when tested by length Of years,
the power to endure suffering and resist
disease.
In 1880 the United States census showed
that there were at that time 1851 CEN
tenarIans in the country, OF whom 2.5ss
were women and 1905 were men. Out of
eighty centenarians who died in England
during the year 1853. seventy-nine were
women and ten were men. while out OF
twenty-one entenarians who died In Scot
land in 1896 sixteen were women and five
were men.
During the year 1910 / took clippings
from newspapers and periodicals OF
twenty-three centenarians. who were then
living or who died during that year. OF
these seventeen were women and six
were men.
The mystery of this tenacity Of life in
woman still remains q secret.

an indication Of superiority. we had little
evidence for the unquestioned tenacity
of life and power Of resisting disease in
women.
Nevertheless when We turn TO natality
and mortality statistics we find the
strange condition Of an excess OF males
In the youngest population. especially Al
birth. and an excess OF females in the
older population. especially in extreme
old age.
By taking the average birth rate OF
thirty-two small European countries and
a few Of our own states. We find that
for every 100 girls born there are slightly
more than fs boys born. In some eoun-
tries the difference Is as great as 10
boys to every 100 girls.

pear to be any special difference In the
