SWEETHEART OF LOCAL
 GIRL SHOT HIMSELF IN
 BOTH HEART AND BRAIN
Surgeons Find G. w. Morrow Committed Suicide in Re
 markable Manner.

Amaha, Neb., April 16.-A post mortem examination of the wounds of G. w. Morrow, Jr.. of Hartford. who committed suicide near Omaha, Tuesday night shows a most remark able condition. One bullet was found lodged in the heart and a sec .ond bullet had penetrated the brain, having first passed through the right jaw. The surgeon who conducted the post mortem thinks it the first case in which a man sending a bullet into his heart had sufficient vitality to again shoot himself in the head or vice versa Either wound should have caused inn mediate death or a paralysis Of all action. Joseph NT.s Merrow. his uncle, will arrive in Omaha tomorrow.

DIR. MacDONALD LOSES
 CHANGE FOR AUTOMOBILE K

J. J. Macdonald, superintendent of Lakeview home, is crestfallen today He will have no automobile to transS port him about the city this year, to replace the horse and wagon. Following a dispute in the board of charities over the repurchase of the old car taken in part payment for the new automobile used by the charities investigator, the time limit was al lowed to elapse and President F. w Behrens announced today that the $3T0 available had been returned to the city treasury.
 Though it was rumored today that Arthur l.. Clark. agent for an Adtomo- bile company, might bring suit for breach of contract following ain alleged agreement with Commissioner Henry Harris to repurchase the old car at a price of $350, this report was denied today by President Behrens.
 Commissioner Harris denies that in the purchase of the new car any yer bal or written agreement was entered into whereby the charities board agreed to repurchase the old car. When the matter was placed in the hands Of the Lakeview committee at the last stormy meeting of the board, the old car was offered to them at a, price Of $500 as it stood or $370 fully repaired, but the committee felt that in view of the price at which new one might be purchased the "buy' was not a good one, and the opportunity lapsed.

Balmy Peace

In nearly all parts of the world
the deatll-dealing missiles are
hurled; but here, on our shore, the
cannon don't roar and the flags of
the captains are furled. The far
1ner is thrashing his hay and stor-
ing his pumpkins away and shuck-
ing his oats and shearing his
shoats. improving the bright au-
tumn day. The housewife is bak-
ing her pies and swatting the lin
gering flies: and over her head is
no shadow of dread. no terror or
fear in her eyes. Oh, here in our
fair countryside. the blessings of
peace still abide, it has windows
OF grain and no windows of slain,
no blood-drunken soldiers here
ride. In peace We can harvest our
rye, in pace on our couches we
lie, in peace we can sit by the fire
side and knit, in peace we can
marry and die. All. yes. but the
jingoes exclaim, The peace we
enjoy is a shame! We ought to
arise with a threat in our eyes and
join in the blood-letting game!
We ought to go forth with will
and climb on some nation and kill
and redden our dirks in the enc
mics works-tfleres plenty OF
blood we can spill" The jingoeS
are wearisome frauds and no one
their whooping applauds who is
sound in the brain, who is sensi-
Bile. sane-give thanks to Your
various gods!
