A Bomb for the Railroads.
A special from Lincoln to the Ilee
under date of Monday, says: "Mike
Lee of Douglas county will throw a
bomb into the railroad camp tomor

lution providing for an amendment to
the constitution that no suit may be
tiled in any court againt the state to
enjoin the collection of taxes or to de
clare taxes invalid until after the
taxes levied have been actually paid.
Then suit may be brought to recover.
Mr. Lee came down from Omaha to
night with his resolution all ready to
Introduce when that order of business
is reached.
'Inasmuch as two railroads have
enjoined the collection of their taxes
and have materially injured the va
rious school districts in the state, es
pecially in the western portion, as
well as depriving the state of about
!lon.ot;ii. Mr. Lee believes his resolu
tion will strike a responsive chord and
will he passed practically unanimous."

otlered !y Supt. House which was
unanimously adopted by the associa
tion conferring on the president of the
association, W. L. Stephens, of the

Welcome News. If True.
The Omaha World-Herald contains
the following, which will be received
as most welcome news to the towns
along the line: "It is given out that
next spring that portion of the Mis
souri Pacific between Omaha and
Kansas City will be put in first-class
condition. The track will be relaid
with ninety-pound steel, these rails
taking the place of the sixty-pound
ones now in use. After the relaying
of the track, the roadbed will be bal
lasted with rock from the quarries at
Louisville. New fences will be built
along the right-of-way, ditches con
structed to carry off the water and ev
erything in connection with the line

MRS. LILLIE A FREE WOMAN
His Last Act the Noblest Deed Performed
by the Retiring Governor.
',
SATISFIED THAT SHE WAS NOT GUILTY
1
i
The Persecution of an Innocent Lady Ends
With Governor Mickey's
Administration.
Governor Mickey's Statement.
"I am clearly led to the con
elusion," said Governor Mickey,
"That there is very grave and
serious doubt of Mrs. Lillle's
guilt, and I am compelled in my
own unbiased and sincere judg
ment to grant her a pardon.
"For three nights and four
days I have given the closest
study of this case. Most of the
time lias been spent in sleepless
deliberation. 1 have had docu
ments and evidence of every
character, and I cannot believe
that the uuilt of Mrs. Lillie has
ever been established beyond a
reasonable doubt."
A upecial from Lincoln in tlie Omaha
World-IIeraid, under date of January
gives the following particulars of
the pardon of Mrs. Lillie:
As tlie last otlicial act of his career
Governor Mickey today granted a full
and complete pardon to Mrs. Lena
Lillie, who has finished two years of a
life sentence for the alleged murder
of her husband, Harvey Lillie, at
David City four years ago. News ot
the pardon was carried to Mrs. Lillie
by Warden Beenier of the penitentiary
Her father, J. S. Hill of California,
was with her at the time.
For the first time in all the trying
and sensational career of the case this
remarkable woman broke completely
down and wept like a little child. It
was for only a few moments and then
she regained again that same dignity
and composure which have been one
of her strongest personal attractions
since the time the first accusations
were breathed against her by her
friends and fellow townsmen of David
City.
-1 nave never nouotea ror an in
stant," she said, "that the governor
and those who believed me guilty
would become convinced that I have
been unjustly punished."
Mrs. Lillie spent Thursday night in
the same bed in the same little room
in the quarters of the women at the
penitentiary. Shortly after the par
don wa3 handed to her she and her
father went out to breathe outside the
walls of her prison the air of as fair a
day as ever woke upon Nebraska soil
They did not leave the institution,
merely strolling for a few minutes up
and down the cinder path outside the
gray stone wall.
This morning Mrs. Lillie and her
father will leave Lincoln for Califor
nia. where she will make her home
and attempt to forget the trying four
years which mark the close of her Ne
oraska residence. Mr. mil was an
old-time resident of this state and
served eighteen years ago in the
Twenty-first legislature.
Governor Mickey reserved this act
of clemency, the most important since
he has been governor,as his last official
act. As he announced to Judge Hamer,
Mrs. Lillie's attorney, that he had de
cided to pardon her there were tears
in his own eyes. He said that his
conscious was never clearer as to his
duty than in extending this act of
clemency.
Hearing was had before the gover
nor about two weeks agoof the reasons
for granting Mrs. Lillie a pardon and
he has since had the matter under
consideration. Affidavits were pre
sented before him to show that evi
dence which was never submitted at
the time of the trial would put a very
different light upon the case.
The father, brother and other rela
tives of Mrs. Lillie were among the
most persistent of those who sought
the release of the imprisoned woman.
The Lillie Murder Case.
In the early dawn of the morning of
October 21, 1002, Harvey Lillie of
David City was shot as he slept. Mrs.
Lillie says she was awakened by a noise
and rose in bed as a strange man,
standing by the bedside, shot at her.
She rolled out of the bed on the lloor
and the shot passed harmlessly out of
tlie window. Less than two months
later, she was arrested for the murder.
The trial of the Lillie case tore
David City into factions those who
btlirved her guilty and those who did
not. Among the latter were the rela
tives of Harvey Lillie. who have al
ways protested that Lena Margaret
Lillie was guiltless of her husband's
murder, and that no motive could be
found for the crime.
There was no other man in the case.
Lven her enemies cou'et bring no re-
preach against her character. The
domestic relations of herself and her
'oiisband were always harmonious, ac
cording to their frienis. relatives and
employes who had lived In the house.
There was no immediate need of money
as both Mrs. Lillie and her husband
earned good salaries and her losses on
the board of trcde had not been great.
Mrs. Lillie was considered an excel
lent dressmaker and saved her money
for the purpose of educating her one
child, a little girl, in music, for which
she showed remarkable talent. This
child was the object of absorbing
affection on the part of both father
and mother. Mrs. Lillie was con
victed and was sentenced to life im
prisonment in the penitentiary for the
murder of her husband on circumstan
tial evidence. Her application for
new trial was refused and a petition
for a pardon was immediately circula
ted. Her husband's mother and sister
have been most active in the attempt
to secure a pardon for Mrs. Lillie and
their faith in her has never wavered
Her own father and mother spent a
great deal of money in her trial and
after her conviction took the child and
went to California, where they now
reside.
Mrs. Lillie was a model prisoner in
the state's prison and accepted her
fate with the same quiet fortitude
which she displayed at the time of her
trial. Under her plucky bearing,
however, her spirits were frequently
depressed and the confinement in
prison told severely upon her. Her
hair turned gray and the lines in her
face show the suffering she has not
betrayed by look or sign. At the foot
of her cot in the prison hung a life
size crayon portrait of her murdered
husband, where her eyes fell upon it
the first thing in the morning and the
last at night.
A Perplexing Situation.
Dave Young, a prosperous farmer
near Murray, was in the county seat
Friday seeking some explanation a
mysterious telegram, which he re
ceived this morning and which says:
"Meet Missouri Pacific train Saturday
morning, witn nearse. Have grave
dug by father's." This message was
sent from Whiting, la., and was
signed Mrs Bloomfield, tut who that
person is or who the deceased was Mr.
Young has been unable to ascertain.
He made diligent inquiries about the
city, but these failed to throw any
light upon the puzzle. Mr. Young is
of the opinion that some mistake has
been made, for he has not a relative in
Whiting, nor is anyone by the name of
Bloomfield known in that viciniiy. A
telegram was sent to the authorities
at Whiting, and the answer will no
doubt reveal the identity of deceased.
James Manners Accepts Position.
James Manners, our genial mail car
rier and telephone man, left New
Year's night for the sunny climes of
California. He has always thought
that San Francisco would, since the
earthquake, be a good place for a
young man to make a start, and fear
ing that it might be a long time until
the next quake, he considered this his
opportunity. He will follow the tele
phone business, at which he is a very
competent man. Jim has a long list
of friends here who regret to see him
leave. It was hard for him to break
his ties, but he felt that he should go
where duty called.

'BAD ORDER' CARS REPAIRED
Tracks and Switch Yards Freed From Last
of Long String of Freight Cars.
FIRST TIME SINCE THE SHOPS OPENED
Over Two Hundred Damaged Cars are
Rushed Through Shops and
Back Into Service.
For the first time since the repair
shops for the freight cars of the Bur
lington was established in this city,
the side tracks and switch yards were
freed today from the last of a long
string of "bad order" cars. One of
the yardmen who has been with the
company many years, said the local
switch yards, have never been so free
from cars as they are today only nine
cars being In the yards, and of these
several contained freight for local
merchants, while the others are
loaded with coal and other shipments.
With a larger force in the car repair
ing department during the past six
months, than has been rmployed for
many years, the list of "bad order"
freight cars which overtaxed the yard
capacity last fall, when strings of
twenty, thirty, forty and even an ex
tra freight of about eighty cars were
arriving for repairs, has rapidly been
diminished until only a few cars are
awaiting for repairs. These will no
doubt be completed in a short time,
after which more damaged cars will
have to be forthcoming or the depart
ment employed with other work. The
shortage of cars has forced this depart
ment to work day and night a part of
the time to meet the demands, and
now that the two hundred or more
cars which came in last fall for re
pairs have been turned out, the work
in this department will slacken up, as
not many damaged cars will be sent in
at this time when so much coal, grain
and other freight is awaiting ship
ment.
To Get Rid of Husband.
The following, from the Glenwood
Tribune, shows how easy it is to get
rid of a husband if you only have the
money: "Upon the payment of $20
on the part of the wife, II. R. Thomp
son of Tabor has signed a contract to
henceforth give full and unmolested
possession of the home. Thompson
was married but a few weeks ago to a
widow who had several children. The
match did not prove altogether har
monious. The final disagreement re
suited in Thompson locking his wife
and the children out of the house and
denying them admission. A truce was
arranged by which on the payment of
the sum stated, Thompson was in
duced to capitulate and agree to keep
away from the home."
Wedding at Eagle.
A special from Eagle, dated Jaou
ary 3, says: "Tuesday at the home of
the bride's parents in Eagle, George
L. Althousand Miss Elsie Allen were
married by Rev. L. F. Townsend
The bride is well known in the com
munity. The groom is a young farmer
and is well known in Eagle. Mr. and
Mrs. Althous will reside on a farm
about six miles north of Eagle. The
bride and groom left on the 10:.5 train
Wednesday morning for a short trip
to points west."
D. of H. Instal New Officers.
The finance committee of the D. of
D. held a regular business session at
the office of grand recorder, Miss Ter
esa Hempel, Thhrsday. Among the
out of town members in attendance
were Mesdames Frona Van Andel of
Lincoln, Anabelle MacDonald of Om
aha, Lorina Callin of Omaha, and
Mary A Latky, grand chief of the D.
of II. . The above members were pres
ent at the hall in the evening to as
sist in the installation of the new of
ficers of whom a list was published in
the Journal at the time of election.
After the new officers had assumed
their respective duties, the evening
was devoted to a general social time,
including dancing and delicious re
freshments during the latter part of
the evening.
Called Home by Message.
II. F. Bodeker of DuBois, Wyoming,
who came here a few days ago to visit
his brothers, and the scenes of his
earlier days, was in the city Saturday
enroute home. lie received a message
Saturday morning summoning him
home as soon as he could possibly get
there that his wife was dangerously
ill. and all hopes of her recovery were
abandoned. Mr. Rocdeker departed
on the Sunday afternoon train over
the Burlington for Omaha, where he
will take the Northwestern. It will
take three days for him to get home.
After arriving at DuBois, the nearest
posto;!;ce, he has then seventy-live
miles to go ere reaching home. The
Journal hopes that upon his arrival h3
will find Mrs. Roedeker better and in
a fair way for recoverv.
