Mrs. Lizzie NJ, wife of Alonzo E.
Hale, died at their home, 917 N. 18th
St. Wednesday at 1920 P. M, of acute
indigestion, which occurred shortly
after eating supper; the husband, son
and attendant being present. Friends
when receiving the news of her sud
den death, were shocked for many did
not know she was sick. Mrs. Hale
had a peculiar sore on n of her
lower limbs, from which she had suf-
fered many years, how badly, nc n
knows but her. Recently, Mrs. Hale
had become blotted all over, being
fatigued easily, and short b%reathed,
and no doubt dropsy had set in from
effects of bad blood from this sore.
Her case, was a peculiar one. She
leaves to mourn her loss, ahusband,
son, one sister, brother, father, sister
in-laws and many friends. The fu-
neral was held from Mt. Zion Baptist

Gordon and husband, her sister at
OOmaha; BENZ. Stevenson, father
from K. c. K, and sister-in-laws, Mrs.
Ford and Mrs. Stone of Kansas City,
Kans. A large crowd of friends were
present to repay last respects to the
deceased; floral offerings were i'm
mense. We extend Mr.. A. z. Hale

their hour of bereavement. When

The cost is estimated at more than

Guilty concerning the imitation of whisky

The English committee, dealing with a
smaller liquor business, declares the
bulk of the stock may be regarded as
working capital and that its value should
be included in the sum arrived at by
capitalizing the net profits Of the con-
Germs owning them. This committee
maintains that the trade should be
bought. out on the basis of the profit II
was capable Of earning before the war.

land that the cost per mile Of tube serV-
ice is greater than the cost Of carrying

ice, the various objections to tube serv-
ice pointed out by the Postmaster Gem
eral are discussed and considered in the

ferred to both as untrue and as having
an unfair tendency to influence Senator'S
who have not the time to make inde-
pendent investigation of the facts, to
vote against the recommendation of the

Committee. The Postmaster General in
his letter emphasizes the franchise rights
TO be acquired under the legislation pro-
posed, Notwithstanding that the report
of the commission discusses that feature
and points out that no value is attached

ment is not required to procure a fran
chise, and the legislation proposed spe-
cifcally provides that no franchise con-
ditions imposing a charge shall be reCog-
