death for three days and a halt Dennis
McLaughlin, the man shot by John Kava
nagh near Smartvllle Wednesday night,
succumbed to his wouuds today and died.
It was feared at the time of tho shooting
that .McLaughlin hau received fatal In
juries, but for two days bis condition
showt-d such marked Improvement that
friends of both men began to thlug Mc
Laughlin would recover. However, when
the operation to remove the bullets In hU
head and neck was made McLaughlin began
to fall, and, growing weaker, died a little
before noon today. McLaughlin was a
bachelor, aged 60 years.
Kavanagh Is In the county Jail here. He
Is a young man. McLaughlin lived on a

Is a llttlo lake, where tho sportsmen of

to the lake. McLaughlin saw bis neighbor

went after him with a gun.
When nccosted by McLaughlin and or
dered off tho place at the muzzle of a
gun, Kavanagh Informed his neighbor he
would leave ns soon as he could reel up
his fishing line, Each moment McLaughlin
waxed warmer and continued his threats
until In self-protection, Kavanugh claims,
he grabbed McLaughlin's rifle uud shot
him three times. One bullet entered his
temple and another his neck. It Is said
three passersby witnessed the shooting.
Kavanagh Immediately summoned help for
McLaughlin and gave himself up.
COUNCILMAN IS ARRESTED
Another 1'hai.e of the
Saloon IMnht In Hum
boldt. Hitter
HUMBOLDT. Neb.. May 19. (Special.)
Tho latest move In tho factional strife In
Humboldt between tho license and antl
Uccnse crowds took place yesterday when
a warrant was Issued from the county
court charging S. M. Chaffln, the Second
word councilman, with violating the section
of the statutes which prohibits an official
of the city from receiving any money or
valuables other than his salary, while serv
ing In thnt capacity. Mr. Chaffln was elected
a year ago to the council by the temperance
crowd nnd during his term of office a well
has been sunk and extensive additions to
city works along different lines. Council
man Chnflln was placed In chnrge of the
work and on the well It Is charged by the
complaint, virtually took the place of con
tractor, drawing a large per cent of the
warrants paying off the hands, etc., and In
somo Instances claiming and receiving pay
for his own time and services. The com
plaint, further avers that In some Instances
the charges wero not reasonable, nnd claim
to bo able to thow corrupt dealing.
The sheriff telephoned up from Falls City
this afternoon to Mr. Chaffln, who agreed
to go down nnd file tho necctsary recognlz
anco for appcaronro at a inter date.
The present controversy Is but another
step In tho bitter license light which has
been waged, especially since the license
people won at the polls this spring nnd
wero defeated In their purpose to establish
a saloon on n mere technicality. Tho ac
cused will doubtless receive the united sup
port of the temperance advocates, who have
made a "dry" city of Humboldt for three
years, and aro anxious to lore none of their
prestige. Attorneys Fnlloon of Falls City
and Malony of this city are prosecuting tho
case and It Is understood that A. T. Wolfen
barger of Lincoln will take care of tho de
fense when the case comes up for final hear
ing. Tno Itelenred from Cnstmly.

ence. Spain has great Influence In South
America and Is trying to maintain Influ
ence In Cuba. The only solution of the
problem Is annexation. Spaniards will not
become Cubans, but they arc ready to be
come citizens of tho United States.
"All the Spaniards in Cuba nnd the con
servative Cubans desire that the Piatt
amendment should not be accepted, hop
ing that In such nn nrrangement the next
congress will take a more annexationist
view of the relations between the United
States and Cuba. Indeed, some of our
most prominent Spaniards and Cubans
hnve gono as far as to approach Governor
General Wood to tell him that the most
conservative and American solution ot the
present problem would be the rejection of
the Piatt amendment and to urge that
the United States should take special no
tice of the situation In order to see what
deep root tho desire for annexation has
taken hold."

LONDON. May 19. (New York World Ca
blcgram Special Telegram.) Prof Odell,
a famous phrenologist, gives the following
result of an examination of J. Plerpont
Morgan's bumps:
"The base and front of the brain are
large, the rest but moderately developed.
Morally and socially he Is a most common
place man, capablo ot a good deal ot blind
affection and equally unlllumlned honesty.
But strip him of the glamour ot successful
money making nnd there Is no sort of
character about him, a contemplation which
would not mnke any man feel any better."
A bill was passed by the House of Lords
)esterday for the construction of Behr's
electric mono railway, connecting Man
chester nnd Liverpool. Tho distance of
thirty-three miles will be covered In twenty
minutes at a speed of 110 miles an hour.
Tho train runs on an Inverted V, of which
the mono rail Is the npex with the car
hanging on each side like a pack-saddle
as tho backbone of a mule. There will be
a ten-minute service. Each car will be
Its own locomotive nnd run separately. In
stead of a train of six cars every hour
thero will bo a train of one car bIx times
an hour. The only obstacle at present
not overcomo Is the difficulty of obtaining
an efficient brake for a train traveling at
such a high rate of speed.
That Grip Cough.
Do not let that Grip cough linger nlong,
thinking It will wear Itself out; tho danger
Is that the cough will wear you out.
Downs' Elixir used according to direc
tions will euro the cough and savo any dau
ger from a serious lung trouble,
Baxter's Mandrake Bitters will regulate
the bowelB and expel all grip poisons from
the blood. These two medicines used to
gether will build you up after the debilita
ting affects of grip, and prevent any serlnuis
result. Get them at any drug store. War
