Man Who Was Found Dead Here
Led Lonely Life Apart From Family

and father, stopped making visits to
his family and after the usual nine
days gossip OF a small community
his continued absence caused no fur
ther comment and the incident was
forgotten. AS the children reached
maturity the family began to drift
apart. Edwin and A. R. Kelley went
to Omaha, where they finally estab-
lished the Kelley Mercantile agency.
Sidney Kelley located at Cody, Neb.
Miss Gertrude Kelley, the daughter,
was employed at the Mount Hope
FRUIT farm; she finally married and
lives in another part of the state. Har-
old Kelley, the youngest son, is re-
siding with his mother in Omaha.
George Kelley was apparently a
steady, easy going and genial gentle
man during his residence in Blair.
The cause of the unfortunate sever
ance Of family ties is buried in the
hearts of the family and has never be-
come public property.
World weary, denied the recogni-
ton of father even in death, George
Kelley staged pitiful and dramatic
setting in which to make his exit

George B. Kelley, who was found
dead in room at 1909 California
street Tuesday, was once the owner
OF a grocery store i'll Dodge, Ncb.
When his body was discovered 3
cents were in his pockets, a box Of
dry crackers was on table and near
him was a bottle of laudanum. A
shabby suitcase with few well-worn
personal belongings lay at his feet.
The Blair Democrat hints at great
secreLsorrow in the dead mans life.
Its story reads in part: "a
George B. Kelley owned a grocery
store at Dodge, Neb., many years ago.
He quit business and with his wife
came to Blair about 1898. He became

SENATE PASSES
THE POSTAL BILL

on Second Glass Matter
Finally Fail.
BONE DRY AMENDMENTS

Washington, Feb. 16.-With its
added drastic prohibition legislative
provisions tie annual postoffice appro-
priation bill carrying $332,OoO,OOO was
passed by the senate today after a
week Of vigorous debate. 1t was sent
back to the house, which will ask for
a conference on the amendments.
The senate wrote into the bill a
provision making il a criminal 6ffcnse
to ship liquor into states which pro-
hibit its manufacture and sale, thus
nullifying the statutes of certain pro-
hibition states permitting the impor-
tation of limited quantities of liquor
for personal consumption.
Another provision would bar from
the mails letters, postal cards, eircu-
lars, newspapers and other publica-
tions containing liquor. advertising in
states having laws against such ad-
yertising, violation to be punishable
with fine not to exceed $1,000, or
Imprisonment not TO exceed six
months for the first offense or more
than one year for the second offense.
An amendment was added making
it mandatory on the postmaster gen
eral to renew for another year pneu-
matte mail tube contracts in large
cities apd providing for commission
to investigate the tube systems with
view to their purchase by the gov
crnment.
Determined efforts made by the
postoffice committee TO decrease sec
ond class mail rates and to establish
l-cent postage on drop letters were
made and bitterly condemned and the
proposals finally were thrown out on
a point of order.

district. T

day from Colonel Sickel told OF the

troops will be stationed at Culber-
sons ranch, near the border. They
will await orders from Colonel H. G.

French Ministry Asks Ten Billion
2 Francs for Second Quarter of Year

1--WE should have confidence in
France. We should talk frankly to
the people and show them the diff
ticulties and sacrifices that are in
dispensable. With sincere talk and
order in our methods and vigor in
our actions, there is nothing we can
not obtain from this noble country,
which is resolved to do everything
and to suffer everything required to
conquer and to secure a peace that
will preserve it from fresh aggres-
sion"
Explaining the situation in the
treasury, M. Ribot pointed out that
receipts were increased by 100000
francs in 1916 over 1915, from direct
taxes, and by 8l0,000O0O francs from
indirect taxes The total receipts
were "a per cent below those Of q

Paris, Feb. 16.-Alexandre Ribot,
minister of finance, today asked the
French Chamber of Deputies to ap-
propriate 9,574,0OO,00o francs to cover
the governments expenditures for
the second quarter Of the present
year. This was an increase of 900,-
100000 francs over the amount Of
the appropriations for the first quar-
ter.
Referring to the growing expendi-
lures OF the French government, Min
lister Ribot said:
THE greatest OF our tasks is not
to raise money. at home for the grow
ing expenditures. 1t is in reducing
the loans made abroad to pay for
foreign purchases. We must better
utilize our own forces, of production
and put an end to all importations
that are not vigorously necessary.

AMERICAS SPIRIT
THAT OF CRUSADER
DR.. Fling Says if U. S. Enters
War it VIII Be for Good of
the Entire World.
TALK AT COMMENCEMENT

Lincoln, Feb. 10. - Especial -
Americas spirit would be that OF the
crusaders in entering the world war
if it is forced to fight said Prof. F.
M. Fling of the department of Euro
pean history of the University of Ne
braska, delivering the annual mid
winter commencement day address to
the graduating class here last night at
the Temple theater.
Its summons would be accepted as
a holy crusade, not because it was for
America first, but because it would
gladly make the sacrifices for the rest
of the world"
Fifty-6ve Degrees Granted.
DR.. Fling chose as the subject for
his commencement address The Eu-
ropean War" The Temple theater
was packed. Fifty-hve degrees were
granted-the largest mid-winter grad
uating class the University of Ne
braska ever had.
During the earlier months of the
war DR.. Fling said the United States
pursued an ultra-conservative policy,
but he had no criticism for President
Wilson. He commended the latest
uuerances of the president and espe-
cially the address to the United States
senate dealing with the German cri-
sis.
German Peace Proposal.
DR.. Fling said he believed Presi-
dent Wilson was fully aware that
Germany had submitted its peace pro-
posals through him as a. preliminary
step towards resuming the submarine
warfare. He thought the president
had shown extremely wise statesman
ship in asking the allies and Germany
to state what they were fighting for.
ut opened the eyes of the United
States to the real controversy as moth
ing else would do. The allies gave
definite answers as to whatithey were
fighting for, while Germany dealt in
generalities.
IF the United States should be
forced into the conflict it would not
be so unfortunate as many regard"
DIR. Fling asserted, "inasmuch as it
would assure this country a voice in
determining the status of the future
league of nations-a voice which
il should not expect to have if it re-
mained silent"
Board of Regents Meet.
The Board of Regents met in con-
nection with the mid winter r COM
mencement, and after approving de-
grees conferred with Dean Cutter of
the Omaha Medical college and DR..
F. M. Andrus, secretary OF the Ne
braska Eclectic Physicians associa-
tion with regard to the establishment
Of a department for that branch of
the profession. No definite action
was taken, altl tllpugh it was under
stood that full arrangements would
be completed and a report given to
the regents at the next meeting.
The University of Illinois claims
another Nebraska professor. The
resignation OF Prof. Paul Nicholette.
landscape gardener at the state farm,
was accepted, DR.. Nicholette having
accepted similar position at the Ur-
bana institution.
DR.. Avery was authorized to visit
various universities in the western
part of the United States and inspect
the departments OF journalism there
with a view toward charging the
course at Nebraska.

Berlin, Feb. ls.-(Via London.
Feb. l6)-The< increasing possibility
of war between the United States and
Germany has increased the tension
between Vienna and Washington, ae-
cording to the Vienna correspondent
Of the Berliner Tagblatt. The CORE
spondent telegraphs:
Ambassador Tarnowski has not
yet Been able to present his credcnr
tials I'd the White House, and the
diplomatic situation between Austria
Hungary and the United States is at
present at a standstill.
The determination of the United
States government to permit the arm
ing OF merchantmen is looked on as
menacing element in the situation.
This would deprive U-boat command
ers Of the only remaining possibility
Of permitting American ships, which
they recognize at present as being
unarmed, to disembark crews and pas
sengers. The resolution of the Amer
lean government wipes out the last
remaining difference between armed
English lncrehantmcn--which for
some time past have been sailing un-
der the American Hag--and bonahde,
American ships. II is most natural
that in the face OF such a situation
the possibility Of war between Ger
many and the United States has in
creased, for which reason the future
relations OF the United States and the
dual monarchy are now being viewed
with increasing skepticis.-i,
