Paddock, a young VWan about 30 years old. Tho wife and 'iflother has been absent for .about a week and tho elder Paddock had been indulging in a spree ever since she loft. Ho had remained at tho family homo most of tho time, only leaving when his supply of liquor ran out. The son found the jug containing his father's supply of whisky and broke it. This so angered the father that he seized a shot gun and discharged its content3 fairly into the breast of his son, kill ing him instantly. Tho murder vaa witnessed by a hired man, who was unable to interfere. Solomon Paddock is now under arrest and is confined in the Jail at Tekamah. Will Paddock, was one of tho most popular men in Burt county. Ho was born there and has always lived in that county, except for the tlmo ho was away at school.

Senator Dietrich says ho has made a number of concessions to Sena tor Millard in tho hopo that tho latter would rccedo from his stand In favor of the reappointment of W. S. Sum mers to bo district attorney for Ne braska. Beforo he left Washington, on hearing that Senator Millard still en dorsed Summers and would not aban don him Senator Dietrich said he would not act in concert with Senator Millard further in connection with any of the Nebraska appointments. The Lincoln Stato Journal, whose Washington cor respondent is Senator Millard's private .secretary, contained an announcement to tho effect that Senator Dietrich had 'conceded the appointment of a United States marshal for Nebraska to Sena tor Millard. When Senator Dietrich was asked about this matter ho seemed to be rather amazed that Senator Mil lard should have made the announce ment, Ho admits tho truth of a com pact, but insists that he has with drawn from it.

Tho attorneys for the re lators point out a number of other sec tions that they assert invalidate tho -law, but say that it would be impossi ble to discuss each of them, so there fore classify their attack under the four subheads named, TTfa Undefeated CoVuiintikerH. tBdfnno tho greatest Thanksgiving day nBsemUlago that ever witnessed a football game on a Nebraska field, at Lincoln, Booth's Cornhuskers admin istered a decisive defeat to Illinois uni versity, Nebraska scoring 3 touchdowns and 1C points, whilo tho Illinl were ulenied the solace of even a single score. The victory rounded out an other year for the Cornhuskers without j&aving sustained a defeat and adds farther to tho fame of Booth as a vCOiteli, whoso pupils also played tho untlro season of 1902 without permit ting an opponent to score a singlo point against them.

She would enter an ofilco or business house and tell the propri etor she wished to speak with him in prlvato a few minutes, and then pre sent her appeal for money.
