0 RAND ISLAND. Neb., Dec. 16.-(Spe-c
111.) A Jonas inun named L. Hansen, ion
of K. Hansen, & wall known farmer reald
Ias MTfnl mlle.i Bouthca.it of this city,
took hit own life last night by using
strychnine. He -was found dead In the back
yard of Mrs. L. Kraft's residence property
at about S o'clock this morning. Hansen
was an acquaintance of Mrs. Kraft and her
, daughter. Miss Lena. He had called at
their home last night and was complain-
' las of his affairs and, It appears, especially
over Ms relations with another young
woman, to whom. It Is expected, he re
ferred In a farewell note as "my first love."
Mrs. Kraft spoke kindly to him, encourag
ing him to brace up and forgot the mat
ters orer which he seamed to bo despondent.
About 11 o'clock ho asked for a cup, saying
I km desired to got a drink. Ho went out and
' did sot return and Mrs. Kraft, a highly rc-
' spected widow, and daughter thought no
-more of the matter. This morning when
''Mrs. Kraft arose she saw a man lying out
J in tho back yard near the fence. His dress
I struck: her Immediately as that of Hansen,
i Sha called a neighbor, O. A. Klndel, and
the latter found that tho man wan dead,
Coroner Itocder was at onco notified and a
search of tho man's clothing revealed
vboukb strychnine on him to kill a hun
dred people. On a card was also written
tko following:
"Faiao love has bean the cnuso of this
1 run better off dead than alive. Good
night, dear parents. Tako good caro of
yourselves." On the rcverso sldo of the
rard was written: "My first love is to
Wamo for thin."
It is apparent that tho young man had
Konc away some distance from the homo
before ha returned, for In it end of going
around tho house to tho rear portion of tho
yard footntfpn Indicate that ho got over
the back fence. Doth the Hansen and tho
Kraft families aro woll to do and esteemed
and tho only posslolc causo that can bo
nsshsnrd Is that Indicated by tho younn
man disappointment In his love affair,
Coroner Harder will, however, have n
Jury's Terdlct In tho matter.

money ndvanccd to bring troops from San
Kranolsco home, $2,000 claims of sheriffs
transporting prisoners to tho penitentiary,
between $300 and $400 eipcnses of burial
of old soldiers, besides an Indefinite amount
for expenses of prosecution of criminal
enscs in unorganized counties.
The report will recommend that appro
priations be made for annunt periods, and
that any unexpended balance at tho end of
tho year for which an appropriation Is
made, be turned back Into tho state treas
ury., The receipts Into the general fund for
tho year amounted to $493,434.59, and tho
amount paid out on warrants was $559,
751. 4G, nn excess of expenditures over re
ceipts of $66,316. SC, which deficiency wns
made up by the registering of warrants.
It Is estimated that tho receipts of tho
year will, at the end of tho fiscal year,
meet nil appropriations now In force, but
there will bo no surplus.
Attention is called to tho dlscrepauclcs
In present assessments, nnd the urgent
need of n better revenue law, with legnl
power given to either the state assessment
board or some other body to frame such
a measure to submit to n future session
of tho legislature.
Tho report will contain an appendix of
county financial affairs with the condition
of each county, which, while not a regulnr
part of tho report, will be of Interest,
It will nlso call attention to the bene
fits accruing from securing agricultural
statistics, Eomcthtug which tho stato makes
no account of, nnd tho benefit accruing to
South Dakota from such a system Is pointed
out.

SIOUX PALLS, S. D., Dec. 16. (Special.)
About a year ago tho pension bureau nt
Washington reduced tho examination days
of the Sioux Palls board of examiners to
one day each month, much to the disap
pointment of tho old soldiers. Tho secre.
tary of tho board at once sent In n potltloti
to have tho order revoked but In vain.
Since tho vcternns of tho Spanish war have
returned the number applying for ponsions
has greatly Increased. At the Inst meet
ing the board had eleven examinations In
ono day, and soveral applicants had their
cases continued until the next meeting. The
members of tho exnmlng board recently
renewed their efforts to have two days' ox
nmlnntlons Instead of one, this tlmo with
better success. The secretary has Just it.
eolved notice from tho pension bureau that
tho board can hold a two days' session each
month, beginning with January 1 next.

Clearly ho profcrred thin method of sep
