End Of the Last Chapter.
OMAHA. June 4-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Readers who followed. in this
column the story OF the Bradford family
who we're evioted by law from the Epnet
cottage at 1891 Ohio street. two weeks
ago. will be glad 20 know that for Mrs.
Bradford herself, the last chapter has
closed ana the angel Of death has writ
ten "finis" at the bottom OF the page.
Her earthly sufferings ended at 1910 p.
m. Wednesday. and funeral services were
conducted yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
After sll. the outrage perpetuated on
May Is, by the Epnets and their sup
porters Of the law only shortened this
poor mothers life about two weeks. and
no doubt they can quite Justly claim to
be the direct instruments of a merciful
Providence on this very account The
brutal handling OF that paln-racked
frame. the tanning OF the diseased
breast against the door, undoubtedly
caused the terrible spider cancer. whose
deadly tentacles had spread far down
into the liver and stomach. and up into
the lungs. to break a little sooner that
nature might have planned. It is true
that DR.. Fitzgibbon. who had charge of
Mrs Bradfords case, refused to ad-
minister hypodermic to quiet her agorE
during the last twenty-four hours. be
cause her heart was so weak, the end
might thereby be FASTENED. II seems that
physicians are not permitted TO do any
thing, however merclful It might be. that
can shorten the span OF a human life by
pver1 one brtNf Vy1ovneoN
Representatives OF Nebraska law, how
ever, are fully privileged In this respect.
We envy them the calm poise and I'M
ruffled equanimity that enables them TO
do their duty in the very face Of human
anguish. suffering and death. They are
used to scenes like these" The fact
that Mrs. Bradford leaves a husband and
eight children. to whom she was the
dearest thing In life, and who were forced
TO endure the sight Of her sufferings until
one and all are completely Frustrated and
heart-broken, cuts no Ice with the
sheriffs department Of Douglas county.
BLESSED are the dead that the rain
falls on" The neighbors, passing UP
and down that 1900 block on Ohio street
thank God with full hearts today that
the poor sufferer IL at rest. But they
sedulously avoid so much as a glance to-
ward the double house over whose roof
tree the shadow Of the tragedy will linger
forever. Time will blot out from human
memory that pitiful scene, staged "in
the name of the law" But the record
lives beyond the silence.

HOW IT IS DONE.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
This high-brow stuff
I could not write before,
Because Of yore -, a.. -.
I aid not know the way TO dope It out
But now I know
You Just begin
ANY old highfalutin' thing
Putting in, here and there,
Some mysterious. subtle, insoluble sent-
From ancient literature. I'm which half
truth Is CxFressed
Or a whole truth bent,
or at least the meaning IA in doubt
And then be sure to use some hightioWn

No matter whether it makes any psrtiou-
lar sense or not,
And, any time,
why. as to rhyme,
You happen on a word that gibes quite
fair
With one you used before
Well put the accent there.
Then ramble on, although the thing may
nothing mean at all, -,
For things they cannot understand DO all
And thus you'll know how to approach
well, plenty close enough,
This highbrow stuff!

OMAHA, June ITO The Editor of The

It was in yesterday mornings issue Of

Object Lesson in Democratic Methods.

Nebraska firms who are now paying the war
tax, with the penalty for neglect added. are get
ting fine illustration OF the "benefieent effect"
OF democratic methods OF government. That a
war tax must be paid In time of peace is most
unpleasant reminder that the party In power has
failed to make proper provision to insure reve-
nue. sufficient TO run the government On top
OF this failure, the democrats INDUCED in a YER
table orgy OF extravaganza. increasing the ex-
penditures Of the government 10 a total never
before known exceeding even its own estab-
lished record for reeklessness. This eombina-
ton OF reduced revenue and increased expenses
has had the very natural effect Of wpng out the
treasury surplus and reducing the balance to a
deficit. The payment of penalty for failure to
discharge the taxes Is the fault OF the taxpayer
who neglected 70 make settlement in time. but
the tax itself is the fruit Of democratic ineomDe
teney and failure 20 make proper provision for
meeting the expenses OF the government.

STORM GODS STILL
 HOLD THEIR WRATH
 TOWARD BISBEEITES
Hot Spell Is Resumed After Just Enough Rain to Tantalize Pre- Cipitation of Past Few Days Negligible Factor.

Notwithstanding several violent ef- forts, the rainy season consistently re- fuses to start-that is, to start with its real vigor The attempts of the last few days have been only in the way of practice stunts, try-out, as it were. in which Jupiter Pluyius has been testing his strength to determine whether the old vigor remained after such an unprecedented inactivity. ln- deed, the official recorder at the F. P. X s. w. station refuses to credit the Rain God" with anything more than mere traces of precipitation" this being the manner in which the inter- mittent sprinkles of the past several days have been described on the re- port which is sent to Uncle Sam's weather bureau at Washington
 Residents of Bisbee, however have some grounds for feeling that the chastisement at the hands of the weather gods is being a bit overdone. Certainly. after the delightfully."- cool weather of Sunday, one might well be- lieve that the gods of the elements had been appeused in their wrath. It is quite evident, however, that Bisbee has seriously offended and must make further amends Nevertheless, the old timers aver that such a "boiling-up" as occurred yesterday means nothing more nor less than sure rain a little later. In fact it is looked for any day in real measure.
 Maximum temperature yesterday was ST, or four degrees hotter than on the Sabbath. Minimum of 72 was one less than the coolest period of the proceeding day.

 The genius of past ages sought to arouse the intellect and stir the soul but the master minds of today are seeking to serve. Civilization has as- signed to America the greatest task of the greatest age, and the greatest men that ever trod the greatest planet are solving it. Their achievements have astounded the whole world and we challenge every age and nation to name men or products that can approach in creative genius or mas terful skill in organization, the mar vicious achievements of the tremend- ous men of the present day. Edison can press a button and turn a light on multiplied millions of homesi Vail can take down the receiver and talk with fifty millions of people; Me- Cormick's reaper can harvest the worlds crop, and Fulton's steam en- zine moves the commerce of land and sea.
 The greatest thing a human being can do is to serve his fellow men; Christ did It. Kings decree it. and wise men teach it It is the glory of this practical age that Edison could find no higher calling than to become the janitor to civilization; Vail the messenger to mankind; Mccormick the hired hand to agriculture, and Fulton the teamster to industry, and blessed is the age that has such masters for It's servants.
