They were afraid the building was on'fire as Mr. French was positive the smoke smelled like pine smoke. A little investigation proved that the alarm was false. The smoke was all caused by a pipe and a bar olrburhant tobacco rather injudic iously used by Mr. French, early in the mornrng. He bad-smoked so vigorously thathe had not only filled his owa rooms with smoke, but it had also spread toother rooms.

Tuesday evening Coroaer Mcv Cabe received a telegram stating that a woman had died near Somer set and it was Supposed to be a case of suicide. It was impossible tor Dr. McCabe to leave tows, so herequested Sheriff Keliher to go.. The sheriff returned Wednesday evening. Mrs. Jas. Chittick was the name of the woman, and she was about fifty-six years of age. Her neigh bors have, thousrht for some time that she had acted rather queerly Tuesday afternoon about half past two her son. Wm. Jones, went to Wellfleet to transact some business The day before he had presented his mother with enlarged pictures of her father and mother. She seemed very much affected by them and cried considerably. When the son left for Wellfleet she was look ing at the pictures and crying quite hard. He returned about six in the eveninsr to find every door and window m the house locked irom the inside. He finally succeeded in effecting an entrance and wis shocked to find his mother lying on the floor with a bullet through her brain. - She had placed a thirty-eight re volver just back of her ear and fired the fatal shot. She had had the revolver in her possession for some time. The son knows of nothing that could have caused his mother to commit suicide except despond ency. The facts ot the case pointed so plainly to suicide that Sheriff Keli- 1? uer am nor empanel a jury. Anniversary Celebration. The anniversary celebration of the Odd Fellows, which had been postponed from Tuesday night, was held at the hall last evening. Only Odd Fellows and Daughters of Rebekah were present. Several addresses were made. Judge Ray made an address on behalf of the subordinate.lodsre, N. Klein on be- nalf pf the encampment and Mrs H. L. Walsh on behalf of the Re bekahs. E. S. Davis spoke of the relief work that had been accom plished since the institution of thd" local lodge. Judge Hoagland, who had just returned from a large eel ebration held in Central City Tues day night, made a general address on the work of the order. Instru mental music was rendered during the evening. The 'lodge is plan nine to have a verv larjre celebra tion on the anniversary ,day next year. At that lime they expect to be entirely free from debt. That means that notwithstanding the recent hard times they will have paid off a debt of $7,800 which lias been drawiug ten per cent interest for quite a number oi years. Receipts of Fruit Trees. Following is a partial list of the people who have had fruit trees shipped in this spring: Joseph Landgraf received quite a consignment of apples, cherries and small plants which have been set out on his ditch farm west of town. Henry Weil and ,J. C. Wil son each received quite a quantity of small fruits to be set out on their farms. Loren Stunres has received 300 cherry and peach trees. These have been added to the orch ard started some years ago and which has given very satisfactory returns. D. B. McNeal received 1,000 apple, cherry, plum and peach trees. Mr. McNeal has a good fruit location and his orchard in years to come will probably 3'ield very liberal returns. He also pur chased quite a quantity of small fruits. E. R- Smith, of Gandy, re ceived quite a large number of peach and cherry trees. These will be set out on his property in Logan county. J. C. Federhoof received quite a consignment of fruit trees which will be set out on his farm just west of the city. A. Kunkle received apple, cherry and plum trees, and a number of grape vines, strawberry plants ana rasp " " berry, blackberry and currant bushes. These will be added to the good sized orchard which he set out in 1897. w, L. Park re ceived the largest consignment o any one: 600 cherry trees, 100 plum trees, 500 blackberry bushes, 2,500 raspberry bushes and 2,500 currant bushes. Judging from the above facts, the people of Lincoln county have be- come thoroughly convinced ot the tact that fruit can be grown to ad vantage in this part of Nebraska, if it is iriven the proper care. The u returns from orchards already planted are excellent. A visit to H. Ottens orchard just west of the city during the late summer would . convince even the most skeptical that the future of lrmt growing in Lincoln county is very bright, l ull i JjUj -U-txivni Ia Shirts that lasts just as long as the shirts do.

The departure of the guards for Lincoln makes quite a change in the station force. Jno Taffe has taken Capt.

The thief used one of Mr. Donehower's jumpers in which to wrap the tools. No clue to the identify of the thief has, so far, been obtained. Experiments are being made in the yards with a new coupling link which is about three inches shorter than the one now in use. If the experiments are successful the short links will be used on the gravel trains. This will do away with part of the slack, making the trains easier to handle and less apt to break in two. A hew time card goes into effect Sunday. The only difference it makes in the trains is in the sched ule time of No. 4 and No. 104- No. 104 will reach here later, and No. 4 will leave at 12:05 a. m. This change in time is made on account of the change of time on the Gulf road that was made some months ago. The change on the Union Pacific was not made at that time because a new time card had just been issued and the expense ot get ting out a new one so soon would have been quite heavy. Nos. 104 and 4 haye lately been running, by special order, behind schedule time. After May 1 the medical depart ment of the Union Pacific will pease to. exist.
