(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 17. (Special.) The No
braska delegate to the convention of the
National Guard Association of America left
for Washington tonight, att agreed to tho
support of several proposed measures for
tho betterment of the-national reserve mili
tary force. The delegates are: Adjutant
General Colby, Brigadier General Darry,
Colonel C. J, Dills, Colonel II. F. Archer
And Colonel William Hayward.
"We aro going to do everything possible
to bring about much needed concessions
and legislation," said General Darry. "In
the first place we wilt petition for an
act of congress authorizing the exchange
of the now Krag rifles for tho obsolete
guns now In uso by the National guard
of the countr?. The War department has
the rifles, but cannot give them to the
guard without authority from congress. We
wilt mako the same request regarding an
exchange for the obsolcto field pieces.'
"Next In order we will exert our efforts
toward the adoption of a new military code
to take the place of tho present one, which
tins been doing service slnco 1793, or over
100 years. We want to bring the United
Btates mllltla law up to date. As an Illus
tration, tho existing law provides that
every membor of the mllltla shall equip
himself with a match lock, one-half pound
of powder, and forty leaden bullets. This
section has been k dead letter for a good
many years and might as well be cllml
natod, for certainly ttve army will never
go back to the matchlock basis again. And
thero ore other sections Just aa far out
of dnto as that one.
Interstate Kncampment.
"We also expect to endorse tho measure
prv riding for Interstate encampments for
Instruction, to be held ufider the super
vision of officers of tho rejular army, who
will themselves act as Instructors. The
passage of such an act by congress would
take a great burden away from the states,
for under Its provisions the expenses of
the camps of Instruction would be paid
by the general government, and not by
the states, as under the existing order
of things. Not only this, but It would
raise tho standard of efficiency among tho
mllltla soldiers by giving tbcm needed
Instruction which they cannot get In tho
state encampments.
"Briefly, It Is tho purpose of tho delega
tion, nnd so far as we know, of all other
western delegations, to favor the enact
ment of legislation which will bring tho
regular army and the mllltla Into closer
relationship."
The convention of the association will
begin In the national capltol next Monday
morning. Delegates will bo In attendance
from every stato In the union.

N
great pride In anything that ,
concerns the military record ;
of the state. This Is only natural,
as so great a percentage of the
population was drawn from ;
tho ranks of the Grand .
Army which fought for a !
free and united country. Sons
and grandsons of these men have
added a most brilliant chapter to ,
the history of the state. Three'
regiments went out from Nebraska
to the different stations during the
Spanish war, and each acquitted
Itself with credit during the time
of Its service. None won higher
honor than the First Nebraska.
Indeed, no regiment which served
during the wan In the Philippines
achieved grcnter results or higher
renown than did this splendid or
ganization. For this reason any
thing that concerns this regiment
Is of special Interest to the people
of Nebraska. Company I. which
suffered the heaviest Individual loss
In the regiment, hns erected a
magnificent monument to Its dead
and will soon formally dedicate It.
A lwnutlful picture of this monu
ment adorns the front page of the
coming number of The Illustrated
Bee.
Another feature of timely and
peculiar Interest is n specially
written article on the work of the
day nursery, or Creche, In the
large cities. How these Institu
tions help tolling mothers and pre
serve their children from the evils
attendant on an Idle and untrained
childhood Is well set forth. The
whole Is fully Illustrated with pic
tures made from photographs
taken at the Creche.
Captain A. E. Bradley, U. S. A.,
contributes a finely Illustrated arti
cle on "Tho Ski Patrollers of Yel
lowstone Park." This artlclo tells
of the difficulties which beset the
soldier's Life In winter time In the
great national playgrouud and re
counts also many of the humorous
Incidents which go far to make
that life bearable.
Frank O. Carpenter continues his
description of life In Borneo, this
week dealing with "tho wild man"
as he nctually exists in the fast
nesses of the Islands. Tho head
hunting habits of the Dyak men,
with the significance of the cus
tom, come In for careful attention,
nnd the personal habits and dress
of the Dyak women nre described
in detail. The article Is fully Il
lustrated. The Itctall Implement Dealers'
association, which recently met In
Omaha, passed In rovlaw before
the camera of a Bee staff artist
and furnished tho basis for some
splendid cuts, with a little explana
tory text.
Omaha's lodge of Elks Is coming
to tho front as a national factor In
the affairs of the order. Its hand
somely equipped lodge room and
woll appointed club room are
shown In pictures in this number,
while a short sketch, written by u
lending member of the lodge, tells
of Its early struggles and later
triumphs.
No department of the paper has
been neglected. Theso features
are not all the number contnlns.
It has had the same careful at
tention in all details that hns made
the paper what it Is the best In
Its class.
If you are not a regular sub
scriber to The Bee you should
place an order with your news
dealer today for The Sunday Bee
and Its magnificent art supple
ment. The Illustrated Bee

28, at which time they will be payable
at the treasury.

'Grim Tale of Their
Plans.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 17. A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Coffeen, 111., says: At
9 o'clock last night a horse, and buggy
stopped at Harts' livery barn. There was
no driver. The buggy was found to contain
the (lend body of Miss Gerty Clifford, who
lived near Donaldson and Fred Brockman,
almost dead.
Miss Clifford was taken to an undertaking
establishment and Drockman was placed In
the hands of physicians. Ho was aroused
from his unconscious state and put under
arrest. The young woman's death was
caused by an ugly bullet wound through tho
temple. Drockman had shot himself twice
In the head. It Is doubtful whether ho will
live.
When asked about the affair ho refused
to say anything except that a letter could
be found In the buggy to explain matters.
The letter was found In his overcoat. The
coroner has not yet arrived and officers de
cline to make public tho contents of the
letter.
Miss Clifford was a member of a respected
family near Donaldson and was about 20
years old. Fred Drockman Is 20 years of
age, a son of Hiram Drockman of Donald
son. The letter, which was finally opened,
was addressed to "Kind Friends, Drother
and Sister," and signed "Fred and Gerty."
In It Drockman stated ho was In debt and
meant to commit suicide; that he had told
Gerty what ho was going to do and she
had declared sho must go too. The last
Una of the letter contained a request from
Gerty to be burled beside Fred.
SAYS GOODMANSON LIVES
Oakland Correspondent Reports Doc
tor In Sonth Dakota Practic
ing; Ills Profession.
OAKLAND, Neb., Jan. 17. To tho Editor
of The Dee: The reported disappearance
of Dr. Goodmanson attracted considerable
attention at Oakland, and surprise Is ex
pressed why relatives and others cannot
locato the missing dentist. The Tacoma
report seems strange, because Ira Thomas,
an attorney of this- city, who was on the
defense In his trial for murder, has been
In occasional communication with blm and
could have located him at any moment
slnco his acquittal.
When the story of his alleged disappear
ance, as published In tho Illinois paper,
becamo current, Mr. Thomas expressed
surprise that any audience should be given
it, pointing out the obscurity of the paper
which first announced it and Its great dis
tance from the alleged scene of the tragedy.
The Associated Press has been active In
repeating such report, and thero was a
reasonable certainty of Its paying moro
than ordinary attention to such an occur
renco because of tho notoriety of Dr. Good-
manson's former trial, the reported In
sanity of Rev. Alvln Iodcr, brother of Dr.
Goodmanson's dead wife, which Insanity
seems to take tho form of fear of Dr.
Goodmanson, and other facts.
no reasoned that tho Llskeina paper
hoped by this report to remove that fear
from the mind of Rev. Ioder, and thoreby
assist in his recovery, but thought It too
transparent a ruse to deceive many.
He eccms, however, to have left out of
hla reckoning that disposition of the hu
man mind to revel in sensationalism, and
his explanation found few adherents, until
the light of subsequent events demonstrated
. i
ui lensi us reuBonaoiencBS.
After reading tho Tacoma article above
referred to Mr. Thomas showed a letter
from the so-called dend man, dated Web
ster, 8. D., January 13, 1902, written in the
well-known hand of Dr. Goodmanson and
Igned Jiy the doctor. Thero Is no doubt
of the authenticity of tho letter, and It is
written upon the doctor's office stationery
and waB mailed In an envelope bearing
the usual Imprint of Dr. J. S. Goodmanson,
M. D. S., D. D. S., Webster, S. D.
At no time has Dr. Goodmanson lived In

been located where he now is, practicing
his profession. OAKLANDER
