taxing institution, yesterday. In his ilfurt
ta fcecure a tiace oi the 17-year-oid daugh
ter of a Pierce county woman ,wlio ap
pealed lo the executive for aid In finding
liie child. No definite result was obtained
'at the meeting, although the governor
elicited the f3ct tht the child was In the
hands of .t respectable German family In
the South Platte country. This Is the sec
ond time that he has felt obliged to Inter
vene In the affairs of the Omaha associa
tion with which Mr. Qulvey Is connected.
This Is said to be the foundation of the
story that the governor was at outs with
Omaha Institutes.
In the orlGlnnl divorce case, according to
the certified copy of the court records,
thres of the children were taken from the
irother. Two have been returned to her
because the families having them wished
to make her happy. The court In 1903
. awarded the custody of this- child to her.
Mi. Jlvey says' this wss dons wlthout.hU
hvfr.g--a chance to appear In court. He
promised the governor to write the mother.

There is danger of more trouble this year

the two classes. Last year there was more
fouble than ever b?fore and this year the
forme:- freshmen declare the- are going ta

of Redmond, however, and feels Justified In
accepting the invitation.

fho Crime,
YANKTON. 8. D., Sept. 29. (Special
Telegram.) A murder came to light today
when tha body of a young Mennonlte girl
waa found fourteen miles west of Yankton.
She had been missing for several days and
searching parties had been hunting for her.
Her body was finally discovered near the
border ot the lands belonging to the Bon
Homme Mennonlte society.
Her mouth was stuffed with grass and
sod, evidently to prevent outcry. Her
clothing was almost entirely stripped from
her body and she had been terribly as
saulted. Suspicion rests on three tramps
who were seen In tha neighborhood during
the day. Tracks of three men were found
near ths body. According to the doctrines
of the Mennonlte society they cannot ask
for the aid of the law, and no complaint
has been made to the authorities, so the
perpetrators will likely escape.
CAPITAL FIGHT IS ITERESTTQ
Cheyenne Peoplo Becoming; Alarmed
at the Ontlook.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 29. (Special.)
The fight for the removal of the state capi
tal from Cheyenne to some other location
In the state has now grown to such pro
portions that residents of this part of the
state, who have hitherto treated the sub
ject more as a Joke than anything else,
are now thoroughly alarmed. At the out
set It was supposed that Casper would be
the only town that would oppose Cheyenne,
but when, two weeks ago. Lander entered
the race, the Cheyenne people became
more interested.
Today word was received from Rock
Springs that a nominating petition had
been circulated there ,and that it would be
filed with the secretary of state tonight or
early in the morning. The word also stated
that Rock Springs Is. In the fight to win
and has been guaranteed the support of
Carbon and Units counties.
It is also reported that Sheridan may
enter the race, but nothing definite re
garding the matter can be learned. To
morrow Is the last day left open for as
piring towns to enter tha contest for the
state capltol and other buildings and one
or more in addition to those mentioned may
be received before tha time limit expires.
With Casper, Lander and Rock Springs
in the race against Cheyenne, it is now
almost certain that Cheyenne cannot se
cure a majority of all the votes cast,
which will be necessary In order to main
tain the capltol here permanently. It Is
likewise certain that no other town can
secure the necessary majority and the
matter will go over for two or more years.
In the meantime the population of the
northern and central portions of the state
is increasing more rapidly than in the
southern tier of counties and it will be
even more difficult in future elections for
Cheyenne to secure the coveted plum.
