WAVERLY. Nob. , June 4. Some
time during Friday night thieves en
tered the Bank of Waverly , of which
T. J. Beale is cashier , and blew the
safe to fragments , damaging the buildIng -
Ing to some extent. The concussion
broke the windows. It has the appear
ance of being the work of experts.
The money was not reached , as the
Inner door was Intact , and the explo
sion left the outer door iu such a po
sition that there was no chance to
use more explosives and it could not
be pried off with a crowbar , so it was
given up as a bad Job. They would
have secured little money in any case ,
as only a small sum Is kept on hand.
The bank was open for business as
usual at 9 a. m. Several heard the
report of the explosion , but the storm
was so severe no attention was given
It.

amined by the insanity commissioners

Makes a Fall Report.
YORK , Neb. . June 2. County Cor
oner W. R. Knapp of Thayer has re
ceived the report ot the complete and
first chemical analyials of the stomach

public Its contents , saying that on re
turn of the absent jurymen he will
reconvene the Jury and thea a verdict
will be rendered and auch action as
may be necesaary will be taken at that
time.
The Jury In Its first investigation
found an aconite bottle nearly empty
at the Froat house. This Mrs. Frost
hacLbought a few days before the-death
of Frost , claiming to have wanted it
for chilblains. No phosphorous was
found on the premises , but as the
heads of matches put in milk , coffe or
lemonade easily dissolve this could
have been done by aome one , if Frost's
death was due to thia cause.
The Jury found three kinds of poison
in the house atrychnlna , y/hlch Mrs.
Frost said she bought for rats and
the Jury said It found no sign of rats.
Mra. Frost said she bought the rat
cheese for a Mrs. Lemon in the coun
try. Mrs. Lemon denies this. The
third was the aconite which she said
she bought to doctor her chilblains ,
stating that she only used twenty
drops of aconite and that the rest was
spilled by her little son , Arthur.
Since her release she has been living
at her former home doing some dress
making. On the streets she wears
heavy mourning and around home and
In the yard she discards the mourning
for a red mother hubbard. She seems
to wish to talk of her late trouble and
at no time docs she give way to emo
tion when she spea.cs of Mr. Frost.
The Jury will meet in a few days.
Fighting the Low Rate.
LINCOLN , Neb. , June 2. An answer
has been filed in the supreme court
by attorneys for the Union Pacific rail
road in connection with the suit
brought by the state against the com
pany some months ago , in which some
thing less than $500,000 is demanded
as a penalty for alleged violation of
the maximum freight law passed by
the Nebraska legislature In 1893. The
answer Is one to the original petition
filed by Attorney. General Smyth in the
case. It is very lengthy and contains
various and numerous defenses.
In one section the company set up
that in this matter the state supreme
court has not original jurisdiction , as
the suit is practically a criminal one.
No such authority or jurisdiction , says
the answer , is conferred by section 2 ,
article 6 of the state constitution.
The railroad company further avers
that the company Is one organized
under the laws of the state of Utah
and is therefore not amenable to Ne
braska law in this matter. It is set
forth that no competent court has ever
convicted the Union Pacific railroad
of any violations of ine maximum
freight law , and that until such an oc-
ctirence takes place this supreme court
has no authority to taKe into its con
sideration for a moment the subject
matter of the petition of Attorney Gen
eral Smyth.

SAYS MEAT BILL WILL BE LAW.
German Ambassador Thinks Buntlcsrath
Will Pass It.
CHICAGO , June 4. John W. Spring
er , president of the National Live Stock
association , which represents an In
vested capital of $600,000 , has returned
from Washington , where he saw the
German ambassador and notified him
that should the German bundesrath see
fit to pass the meat bill recently adopt
ed by the reichstag , the United States
congress would retaliate with a meas
ure which would affect German inter
ests to the extent of millions of dollars
each year.
"In reply , " said Mr. Springer , "the
ambassador said the reichstag bill was
the result of a compromise between the
crown and the agrarian interests , the
former being compelled to secure need
ed appropriations for the imperial
navy , and furthermore , he was rather
certain he put all this in his diplo
matic way , of course that the bundes
rath would also pass the reichstag
measure.
"Then I notified the ambassador that
the United States would certainly
adopt retaliatory measures against
Germany as a means of self-defense ;
that German merchants would suffer
more in the end than the live stock
and packing interests of the United
States. After leaving the ambassador
I drafted a bill , which was afterward
Introduced in the house of representa
tives by Congressman Bailey of Texas ,
defining the new policy of the United
States. "
Jane Wiley Lloyd Wins.
CHICAGO , June 4. The second trial
of the case of Jane Wiley Lloyd against
the supreme lodge of the Knights of
Pythias involving the intoxicant
clause in the insurance policies of that
order , resulted today in a verdict of
? 3,475 for the plaintiff. Judge Kohl-
saat in the United States circuit court
rendered the decision. A policy for
$3,000 was issued to Walter Lloyd in
1889. He died in March , 1897 , and the
supreme lodge refused to pay because
his death was said to have resulted
from intoxicants. It was claimed that
this provision was not in Mr. Lloyd's
policy , and that it was inserted two
years later. The court of appeals re
versed the first judgment on that
ground , that the clause was retroactive.
