MABEL EARLE'S STORIES
PRAISE MEMORY OF WRITER

Can stored urn or animated bust
Back TO it's mansion call the fleeing
breath?
Can honor's voice provoke the silent dust,
Or flattery soothe the dull, cold ear OF
death7
Although Miss Mabel Earle, an Omaha
short story writer OF renown among
readers OF The Forward and other church
and Sunday school publications. died
early in the autumn. her works continue
TO appear and provoke praise among her
friends.
In The Forward OF last Sunday the
lead story was hers and bore her name.
II went into thousands of Sabbath schools
throughout the land and tens OF thousands
of hands.
Popular as she was in her literary
world while she lived, Mabel Earle's pop
ularity is being deepened, her friends de-
clare. by her posthumous stories.
And yet Miss Earles death passed all
but unnoticed. except by her most init
mate personal friends. in the city in
which she had lived
"Rut II was the way she had lived. so
modestly and quietly. working chiefly for
others" says Arthur c. Chase. who knew
the young woman's worth.

BENNETT DEATH MYSTERIOUS
Coroner's Jury So Finds as Result
of Inquest,
MAY HAVE BEEN SUICIDE
witnesses Testify that FiremRn's
Position Under Locomotive Must
Have Been Taken by Him
Intentionally.

The Jury empanelled by Coroner Cutler
to inquire into the death of Edward Dem
nett. the Northwestern locomotive fire
man who was crushed TO death under the
wheels of an engine in the Northwestern
roundhouse in Council Bluffs, Tuesday
night, decided that he met his death in
a mysterious manner" and that It was
due to no fault or negligence of the rail
road company or eny of its employees.
The inquiry was of thorough character
and lasted several hours yesterday.
The testimony of half n dozen witnesses
was taken, but no one was able to throw
any light upon the cause of the accident
except George Johnson, the engineer for
whom bennett had been firing during
his run from Norfolk, Neb., to Council
Bluffs Mr.. Johnson's knowledge of the
affair indicated that death had been pre-
meditated and was due to mental de-
preston, brought about by a misunder-
standing with a young woman to whom
bennett had been attentive for a long
time. Engineer Johnson said bennett had
told him they had quarrelled. He said
the young man had been very respondent
and had refused to eat any supper after
he came in from his run Tuesday after
noon. Although very downcast he had
made no threat OF self destruction.

Russians Use German Tactics
and Succeed in Holding Teutons

PETROGRAD via London, Dec. 25-
Russian successes are reported officially
from the battle front before Warsaw and
from that around Cracow. but without
materially changing the situation. Espe-
cially vicious attacks have been made by
the Germans between Pinczow, forty
miles northeast of Cracow, and Nowem-
iasto Korczyn at the junction of the Nida
and Vistula rivers.
In this place the Austrians initiated the
tactics of the Germans and tried to force
a passage by sheer weight and numbers.
They advanced repeatedly in solid form,
alton against the Russian front in the
face of heavy artillery fire. The net
result after two days fighting-December
22and 2S-was the capture by the Rus
slams Of nearly 5000 prisoners, including
half hundred officers and the reten-
tion by the Russians of the left bank of
the Nida, where they are strongly en-
trenched
To the north the Russians are holding
their own and are inflicting severe pun
ishment on the Germans. A series of
energetic attacks at Dolimow, just south
of Sochaczew (thirty miles from War
saw, are reported to have been repulsed
on the night of the 2Sd by vigorous Rus

sian counter attacks. while forty miles
further south at Anovolonz q successful
crossing of the Pilicia river was turned
into German reverse by savage attacks
by Siberian troops, who forced the in
vaders back again.
The Russo-Turkish operations have
been brought to a standstilI by climatic
conditions in Asia Minor. Here the Rus
sian troops have been spread out COW
ering all the roads and quartering in
the villages in an immense triangle
whose sides converge for seventy miles
with the base on the Russo-Turkish
frontier and the apex pointing toward
Erzerum.
Clad in every variety of garment to
warm them. including Turkish robes and
wide-flowing Kurdish coats. the Russians
are budding in every shelter hut and
farm house of the Armenians and pack
ing cowsheds, stables and storehouses.
Wherever possible the roofs have been
cut out so that bonfires may be safely
built within. The sound of battle Is
rarely heard by the main body of troops,
who are wintering on the way to
Erzerum. Virtually the only activity is
on the part of the restless Cossacks, who
are forever on the move, engaging in
brushes with the opposing cavalry.
