the destruction of women is still at

entire police force has been in hot
pursuit. r :
One of his victims lies at deaths
door at the Emergency Hospital.
Another is seriously wounded. A
third still bears the marks of his
murderous hands.
In each case woman is his prey.
In each case he has swooped down
upon his victim in her sleep with the
stealth and agility of a great cat.
Until the daylight hours his mad
work of crime and depreciation went
on. 1t is feared he may lie cunning
ly in hiding during the daylight
hours only to again run amuck when
darkness returns to aid his bastard
ly labors.
His wild acts are believed to be
prompted by an insane hatred of all
women-a hate which drives him
into frenzy Of killing-speeds him
from one unknown and unwilling
victim to another-while at the same
time he retains sanity enough to
eluds pursuit.

Miss Lillian Hood, of 1887 l. street,
lies bruised and battered wreck on
a cot at the Emergency Hospital as
result Of the visit of this wild ma
rauder to her room in the dead of

at her lodged in the abdomen. A
major operation performed as a last
resort may save her life.

had fired his last bullet at the pre-

How many other victims still lie
undiscovered in their homes only the
investigations Of the day will reveal.
The maniac, as he most certainly
is, may appear at any time in any
section Of the city. He works with
such rapidity that his inhuman work
Is done and his escape made before
terrified observers can sufficiently
recover their wits to call the police.

Huse and his brother own the
Daily News at Norfolk, Neb. This
interesting story Huse tells about
enc American soldier waiting for
q train in the station at Sioux
City, Iowa
The soldier had lost one arm,
lghting in France. He looked
weary and i'll.
Where are you going?" asked
a woman.
4 am going to Pierce, Neb.,"
said the soldier.
Said the woman, "You look
tired, won't you have a cup of
coffee while you are waiting?"
j. Yes" said the soldier, 81 will,
since you are so kind have my
ticket home, but l haven't a cent
OF money, and / have eaten moth
ing today"
How do you like that picture of
an American soldier with one arm
ieft IN France, especially when
you compare it with the present
condition Of certain soldiers in the
great stay-at-home army of
profiteers?
What do you think about allow
ing one-armed man to start for
home without a dollar?
Would it be too much to rive
every soldier, honorablv dis
charged, full pay for at least six
months, while he looks around for
. chance to get back the useful
work that he gave up to serve his
country?
Official news comes that the
allies have decided to let the
Russians run, Russia in their
way. It's excellent news, mean
ing trouble avoided in the future.
When hundred and fifty million
people, as in Russia, eighty-five
per cent Of them unable to read
or write, decide that they want
to fight each other, there is dan
ger ahead for the man who inter
feres, even interferes with the
praiseworthy desire to compel
Russians to pay the national debt
that they have repudiated.

ancient proverb, meaning that il

Eighty civilians were recently
