without vanity. strength without inso-

the virtues of man without his vices.

Dancer of Knowing Too Much.

Let us remember, advises medical
magazine, that brain crammed with
a multitude Of useless facts may show
up brilliantly on an examination, but
be SO clogged as to be unable to put
the knowledge to practical use. We
know we are raising the pedagogue's
ire by thus stating that there is such
a thing as too much knowledge, but as
fact the worlds work is being done
by specialists who are densely ignor-
ant of everything outside their respec-
tive narrow spheres-and Of many
things inside, too.

Murder Victim I Found

The finding of the body of man
in the Missouri river near the old
Shier ranch Monday with bullet
through his chest has started an in
vestigation as to his identity. Cor
oner A. Fl. Irvine and DR.. j. D. Full
er were notified and went out to take
charge of the body. They reported
that it was entirely nude. and had
been fnthe water perhaps ten days
or two weeks, and that the bullet
had entered the left breast, taking
slight downward course. and lodg-
ing near the ribs in the back. The
victim was evidently man of from
fifty to sixty years of age, iron gray
hair and heavy mustache. His fore
head was rather sloping and that he
was dead before striking the water
was evidenced by the fact that no
water had entered his lungs. He
had a gold crown on the first tooth
to the right of the center of his up
per jaw.
Speculation is rite as to whether
or not this victim might not be the
man who recently disappeared from
Washburn. following close upon the
close of the Anderson murder trial.
At the time a restaurant-keeper
closed up his restaurant one evening
in the usual manner, failing to open
it the next day nor since. Some
thought he had skipped the country
either because of developments in
the trla or perhaps because of
FINANCIAL difficulties. The latter
theory was combatted by the fact
that his finances seemed to be in good
condition. As far as we have been
able to ascertain the description of
the body fits we'll that of the missing
man, the age, color Of hair and gen.
eral description corresponding, as
we'll as the time of the missing mans
disappearance.
The body was buried near the riv.
er. but an accurate description of
the body and the bullet wound has
been kept by the coroner, Should
the body provet to be that of the mis-
sing man it will have decided

the matter of securing railroad.

line of the Northern Pacific south

of Hebron are very anxious to help
