This was the showing made by tho first

showed that a mlstaku had been made in
the first count and Its correction gave Mr.
unkhouser a few more votes than tboso
recorded for Mr. Ilaum. Slock to the
number of 37,000 shares was voted.

The members of the present board express

the final reports of tho present oftlcers will

It Is expected that the hoard will organize
at that time by tho election of n president,
secretory, treasurer and counsellor. At
the present time It Is not known that
there aro any actlvo candidates for any of
these positions. It was understood that.
had a majority of tbe old board been
elected, W. S. Wright would probably have
been elected had F. K. Sanborn declined

now is not known, the member tiavluc
given tho matter little or no thought.
For secretary no name other than that of
O. W. Hoobler has bcon suggested so far.
while for treasurer Alfred Millard will
probably be re-elected. No name has been

"It was while Roosevelt was governor,"
said General Manderson, "that I was In

"One night wnne seaten in me paiior

by considerable hilarity In an adjoining
room. Later on the door opened nnd In
walked Roosevelt. He greeted me In his
usual breesy fashion, nnd In explanation
of his presence in town stated that be
had been attending a reunion of his Rough

"In the course of his conversation he
amused and Interested me and the group
of gentlemen seated near us with a vivid

existence,
"I took opportunity during a pause In
the conversation to Introduco the foreign

had taken his departuro Sir William broke
out with: 'Out I say, senator, that Is a
very remarkable man, you know, a vpry

Fleming called attention to the fact that;
the report of the commlttco called for a re-I
ductlon of 10 per cent on all real estate, ,
whllo the motion of Mr. Tukey referred to
a reduction of 10 per cent only on real es
tate In the additions, He tald that the re
ductions already made by htm would bo
about $1,000,000, an amount equal to that
demanded by Mr. Tukey.
Mr. Tukey said tho real estate men want
a horizontal reduction on all real estate and
not n mere equalization.
President Green favored an assessment
at the true value of all property real and
personal.
Harry Reed was called upon und stated
that ho did not believe It good policy to
reduce tho assessment on real estate In
tbe central portion of tho city. It had
been hard work to get these assessments
raised hnd they were not too high at this
time.
J. W. Ijyttle thought that more work
should bo put In trying to get nil personal
property placed on the lints at a fair valu
ation, citing cases where horses hnd been
assessed at $1 each by county nssessors.
He did not bcllevo thef relief desired would
come simply by discussing tho real estate
situation, but work must bo done on th
personal property schedules. "Oct after
the assessors, see what they arc doing and
get them to do right," ho said.
A. O. Charleton suggested Hint tho pres

The motion of Mr. Tukey was ndopted.

An Incident which occurred during Inau

Mr. Roosevelt not only haa a very good

Tho story, as related by the Washington

1898, when Roosevelt was first talked of as
a candidate for governor of New York,
Miss Anna K, Warnock of Urbaua, O., was
a student that fall at Vassar, and was

John Woodward, an officer of the Met

suicide yesterday morning by shooting him
self through the head with a pistol.
Tho shot was fired In a rear room of John
Rclf's snloon, 602 South Tenth street.
When the crowd from tho barroom rushed
In Woodward was seated In a chair, his
arms thrown rorwaru on a tnoie, no
head testing between them nnd his faco
smothered in a pool of blood that was fed
from n wound Just over tho right ear. A
smoking rovolver lay on tho floor besldo
him. On tho tablo was a litter of papers-
tnostly lnsurnnce iollcles n largo leather
pockctbook, rubber stamp, key to his room
n Windsor hotel and an envelope on which
he hid scribbled tho words: "My wlfo la at
324 N. 8th street, Lincoln."
It was evident thnt ho was dead or dying,
nnd the police nnd coroner were notified by
telephone. Later tho body was taken to
tho coroner's undertaking rooms.
Mnlelde Lived In IMiittanioiitli.
Woodward's homo was In Plattsmouth,
where he served ns nrslstnnt superintend
ent of tho Metropolitan Insurance company.
There was evidence that ho had contem
plated suicide for several days. Telegrams
havo been cent to his wife nnd to his
daughter, Corn Woodward, 1922 Norm
Adam street, Peoria, III.
Woodward arrived In the city Tuesday
night nnd registered nt the Windsor hotel,
where he paid in advance for a night's
lodging. After brenkfast yesterday he
went to Relf's snloon across tho street.
Those who saw him thero sav he seemed to
bo In his usual spirits. He bought several
drinks nnd laughed and toked with tho
crowd, then retired to the rear room, whero
ho nat at n table for half an hour examin
ing letters and papers.
Among thoso who saw him thero were
James Novacek, driver of a beer wagon.
"It was about 9:30 when I wont through the
room nnd saw him nt a table," said Nova
cek. "I noticed thnt there was a rovolver
on the table hestdo him nnd also a big pile
nf papers that looked llko Insurance papers.
I had no more thnn gone out tho renr door
when I heard thn shot and when I rushed
bnck ho wns sitting thero Just as I had seen
him last except that his face wns resting on
the table, and tho gun lny smoking between
his feet."
Woodwnrd's llfo wns Insured for small
amounts In two companies, tho beneficiary
of both policies being his daughter, Cora,
who lives In Peoria. III.
Among his effects was a note reading a
follows: "My wlfo Is nt 321 North Eighth
street, Lincoln, with her son, H. II. Young,
working at collar factory with Jack Sulli
van. Call V. L. Kllly, superintendent of
this company."
Tho Mr. Kllly referred to Is superin
tendent of tho Omaha office of tho Metro
politan Insuranco company. Ho said:
"Woodward has been In tho employ of tho
company for about a year nnd a half nnd
during this tlmo hnd been stationed at
Plattsmouth. Ho haa had a great deal of
domestic trouble. Ho told me he had been
married four times. I romcmbor of his
saying thnt one of his wIvcb ran away with
another man and that ho followed her all
over the country trying to Induce her to
roturn. Woodward was a good man nnd
earned a fair salary. If It wusn't domestic
trouble that drove him to suicide I can't
Imagine what tho cause could have been."
In tho big pockctbook wns a letter ad
dressed to his stepson, H. R. Young of
Lincoln. This was found to contain an
other letter nddressed to his wlfo, Young's
mother, which the coroner thought best
not to open. It will nwalt her arrival. It
Is believed that this lottcr contains tho
real key to the situation.
