A Young Girl at Starling Suicide* by Taking I'arU Green—A Popnlar Man at Liberty Makes Way With Himself— Msbraska at the National Capital. Suicide of a Popular Man. Beatrice dispatch: The suicide of Hon. John E. E. Harden of Liberty caused a decided shock to the people of Beatrice, to whom he was well and favorably known. He was one of the noblest of fellows and those who knew him best were proud of his acquaint ance and occasional companionship. He was generous to a fault, as he no doubt realized before his death. He was at one time president of the Bank of Liberty, but had sold out his inter est in that institution and of late had been confining his attention to real estate and insurance. He had suffered financial reverses and although fre quently importuned by wealthy rela tives and friends to accept proffered aid, he proudly refused to acept any financial assistance. He came of one of the finest families in Illinois, his mother still residing in Dixon. He had been in ill health for months and had been told by physicians that he could never be completely cured. This, to gether with his financial condition, un doubtedly led to his committing self murder. Yo mg Girl Take* Paris Green. Sterling dispatch: Miss Grace Theis the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Theis, living five miles northeast of this city, committed sui cide yesterday by taking paris green. She came to town on Tuesday to spend Decoration day and remained over night and walked home the next morn ing. Before going she purchased some paris green at xleilman’s drug store, and on arriving home she was taken with convulsions and vomiting. Her parents became alarmed and im mediately sent for a physician, but she died a quarter of an hour before the physician’s arrival. The cause of her rash act seems to be a mystery, as she was in th# best of spirits during the day and seemed to be as Jolly as usual. Her parents are well-to-do and highly respected farmers and are nearly prostrated over the sad affair. Nebraik* In Washington. Washington dispatch: Senator Thurston took up with the postofflce department today the question of addi tional carriers for Omaha and suc ceeded in getting two additional car riers allowed. Superintendent McMa hon of the free delivery service stated, however, in relation to the Omaha application for an additional force, that the average time consumed at the office by carriers in Omaha was about twenty-five minutes more than it ought to be and that he suggested it ought to be cut down. An additional carrier has been allowed Fremont, Neb., from September 1, the understanding being that the entire city of Fremont must now be covered by the carrier service as increased. The following postofflces whicn have heretofore been allowed limited money order privileges will after July 1 be raised to full money order offices: Gladstone, Lapeer, Macon, Oshkosh, Sartoria, Stoddard, Swaburg, Thomp son, Westmark and Dorsey. William J. McNeeley has been ap pointed clerk at the Sidney land office. It has been the intention of Senator Thurston to nominate for a second lieutenancy in the regular army Jesse Milton Thompsett of the Thurston Rifles, now at Manila, vice Wallace Taylor, who declined to take the exam ination for second lieutenant. The senator now learns that Lieutenant Thompsett has resigned from the First Nebraska, which puts a new phase on the situation, the senator not yet hav ing made up his mind as to whom he will suggest for the position. Nebraska Crop Bulletin. The last week, says the crop bulletin, has been warm and wet In the south eastern counties and dry and windy In the central and western counties. The average dally temeprature excess has varied from 5 degrees In the eastern part of the state to less than 1 degree in the western part. The rainfall has generally been be low the normal, except In the south eastern counties, where it exceeded an inch In most places and exceeded two Inches in Lancaster and parts of Fill more and Seward counties. In the northern portion of the state the rain fall was but slightly below the normal, but in the central and southeastern counties it was generally less than a quarter of an Inch. Taken as a whole, this has been a good growing week in most parts of the state. The lack of rain in some of the southwestern counties has been ratner unfavorable, but as yet no dam age has resulted. Rye is headed out and without exception is reported a thin Btand, with prospect of a poor crop. Wiiater wheat is headed in southern counties. Oats and spring wheat are weedy and in a few instances the weediest fields have been listed to corn. Corn has grown well in all parts of the state. Cultivation Is in progress and in southern counties most of the crop has been cultivated the first time. In northeastern counties considerable replanting is being done, but elsewhere the stand is much above the average and thus far little complaint has been made of damage by cut-worms. Pas tures and meadows continue in excel lent condition. Potatoes and sugar beets are growing nicely. Altilfa is being cut in the southweastern coun ties and the crop is only fair. A Noted Horse Dies. Normandie, the famous trotting stal lion belonging to A1 Ferrens of Hast ings, dropped dead in his stall recently. A postmortem showed that a formation in the blood impeded its flow through the valves. Normandie was raised by John Green of Kentucky; had a reoord at 3 ye vs old of 2:20; was regir.ttred Karma* O'.rl — Neliraiki Man This is the story of a Kansas girl and a Nebraska man, says the Kansas City Journal: About a year ago Miss Bertha Miller, a petite and pretty maid of Ottawa, went to the home of her uncle near Steelburg, Neb., for a visit. One morning her uncle Bent her over to the house of Noah J. Handley, a rich bachelor neighbor, to borrow a tool. Mr. Handley kept a family in his big house, but Just at the time they happened to be absent and when Miss Miller appeared in the door he was busily engaged In cooking his own brp&kf&st ‘JWell, of all things!” ejaculated the little lady, as she gazed upon the big man lumbering about the kitchen. "Maybe you think I can’t cook?” said the big fellow, as foolish grins chased themselves over his countenance. "Oh, I suppose you are like all the reBt of the men and think you can cook better than anybody, but I never saw a man yet who didn’t spoil victuale every time he touched them. I “Now look a-here,” said Handley, at he waived a caketurner, “you sit down at that table and eat some of this breakfast before you talk too much about my cooking.” “Wouldn’t it be fun!” twittered the Kansas girl. “But then I don’t think I ought to,” she continued doubtfully, as a vision of the proprieties rose be fore her. But she who hesitates is lost, and presently the pair were seated opposite each other and the bachelor breakfast was being consumed. "Must be awfully tiresome living alone and doing your own cooking,” said the little lady, as she made con versation. “You bet It is,” responded Mr. Handley. “Why don’t you get a woman then?” “Well, that’s Just what I am going to do when I find a good one who is willing to have me.” "Oh, I didn't mean that,” replied the Kansas girl in confusion and blushing furiously. "1 meant a housekeeper.” “Got a house full of ’em when they are at home,” replied Handley, and then he continued confidentially: “You see, it isn’t housekeepers a man wants, but a nice little partner with blue eyes and curly hair and-” "Oh, Mr. Handley, how forgetful I am! Here I am talking about hired girls and cooking when poor uncle must be Just storming around because I dont come with that clevis. I thank you very much for the breakfast,” and with this the curly-headed, blue-eyed Kansas girl fled. All of which is duly recounted In a letter to the Topics from Pleasanton, where Mr. Noah H. Handley and his Kansas bride are visiting with the family of Rev. Mr. Keopsel—Mrs. Keopsel being a sister of the groom. And our correspondent adds a few conventional details to the effect that the marriage took place in Ottawa, that the groom is aged 38 and the bride 28, and that the groom has some big farms and a bigger bank account. Removed Dr. Pprague. Governor Poynter signed a decree removing Dr. Charles G. Sprague from the office of superintendent of the in stitution for feeble minded youths at Beatrice. Before the hearing last week Governor Poynter announced that this action would be taken and that B. F. Long of York would be appointed to fill the place. The fol lowing letter was addressed to Dr. Sprague by Governor Poynter this aft ernoon: Executive Office, Lincoln, Junt 5.— Dr. Charles G. Sprague, Institution for Feeble Minded Youths, Beatrice, Neb.—Dear Sir: I beg hereby to in form you of the conclusions reached by me in the matter of the investiga tion of the management of the Insti tution for Feeble Minded Youths at Beatrice, Neb., during the period of your incumbency as superintendent. 1, From the investigation made by me I find that during the manage ment of the Institution for Feeble Minded Youths by you the care and management of the patients under your charge has not been conducted in a manner that has promoted the best interests of the institution. 2. I further find that there has been a want of proper discipline exercised by you otcc the employes under your control, which has resulted in an in jury to the proper management of the institution and for the causes above mentioned, after a careful examina tion of the testimony offered by the complainants and also by yourself at the hearing before me on the second day of June, 1899, it is hereby ordered that you be and are hereby removed as superintendent of said institution and you are hereby relieved of any further authority or duty as such su perintendent. Very truly yours, W. A. POYNTER, Governor. Leasing School Lands. Land Commissioner J. V.

FIUPINOS MAKE A STRONG STAND Two American Officers Killed and Twen ty-One Privates Wounded—Fifty-One Native Dead are Picked I'p-A Sanguin ary Encounter. MANILA, June 12.—At daybreak Saturday a force of 4,500 men under Generals Lawton, Wheaton and Oven shine advanced from San Pedro Ma catl, sweeping the country between the bay of Manila and Bay lake, south of Manila. By noon the country had been cleared almost to Paranaque. The Americans lost two officers killed and twenty-one soldiers wound ed. The rebels resisted desperately at the stronger of their positions and left fifty dead in the trenches. Many more wounded were left behind by the rebels in their retreat. The heat during the day was over powering and there were many pros trations of American soldiers from that cause. General Lawton’s force consisted of two battalions each of the Twenty first and Ninth infantry, six companies of the Colorado volunteers and a de tachment of artillery. The Nevada cavalry was under General Wheaton and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth infantry, the Fourth cavalry and a de tachment of light artillery were under General Ovenshine. It was scarcely dawn when the troops in a long, silent procession, wound up the hillside behind the American trenches and formed a skir mish line. Concealed in the jungle the advance rebel outposts fired a few shots before being seen. The opposing forces occupied two ranges of crescent-shaped hills. The artillery, the Colorado infantry and the Nevada cavalry swung around the hill top on the left and opened the battle at 6:30. The rebels made no response from the hills and the Colo rado men cautiously advanced through the thick grass until they were con fronted by a trench, from which a few weak volleys were fired. A spirited response followed and a charge into the trench found it to be deserted. In the meantime a part of the Thir teenth and Fourteenth regiments formed in skirmish line, extending a mile to the right, and supported by the rest of the regiments swept down the valley and up the hillside toward another trench. Approaching through the moras seriously hampered the Fourteenth and the rebels, taking ad vantage of this, poured a galling fire upon them for thirty minutes. The Fourteenth was twice compelled to withdraw for the purpose of finding a safe crossing in the swamp. Finally, the trench was enfiladed or bothflanks. The rebels fled to the woods and sus tained severe loss. General Lawton then pushed his en tire command south through the cen ter of the isthmus until a few miles south of Parannaque, when he swung around and halted on account of the heat. During the march Americans were prostrated on all sides, owing to lack of water and exposure to the sun. It is estimated that forty per cent of the troops were exhausted. The double-turreted monitor Mo nadnock and three other vessels shell ed Paranaque this morning and the rebels promptly evacuated the place. FORCES BARRIAS TO LEAVE, Bon of Former President of Guatemala an Exile. SAN FRANCISCO, June 12—Anto nio Barrios, leader of the liberal party of Guatemala, whose followers are striving to place him in the presiden tial chair now occupied by Manuel Estrada Cabera, was a passenger on the steamer San Jose, from Panama. He is a son of the late General Rufino Barrios, founder of the liberal party of Guatemala, whose term as president covered a period of fourteen years. Senor Barrios, while admitting that his residence in San Francisco was due to political difference between his sympathizers and the party in power, would not acknowledge that he was forced to flee from his country. Oth er passengers, however, who arrived by the same steamer, say that not only was he compelled to take his depar ture, but President Cabera allowed him only ten days to do so. They say also that Guatemala is on the verge of a revolution, which will pro bably result in the downfall of the Ca bera government to the gain of the liberal's, wh~ are almost unanimous in their choice of Antonio Barrios for president. v 81earner Doomed. COVERACK, Cornwall, June 12.— The American line steamer Paris, which ran on the rocks off the Man acles May 21, is now known to be doomed. A southeast wind is blowing, bringing in heavy seas, which are driving the steamer astern landwards. Its boilers have shifted, its false bot toms are gone and the divers are un able to work. The officers of the steamer leave it today. With the exception of about a doz en men who remain with the captain and three officers, all the crew of the Paris have left it. On the arrival of the last batch of the crew at Fal mouth, to be paid off. a fracas oc curred with the agents or underwrit ers. The agents refused to pay the men’s fares home, which the sailors strongly resented, as they stood by the ship until nearly the end. There is now nearly thirty feet of water in the hold of the Paris. Ten Killed by Tornado. MADRID. June 12.—A tornado yes terday swept over San Pedro and Al arse, in the province of Valladolid. About 150 houses were destroyed and there was great loss of life. Ten bod ies have already been recovered KILLS WIFE AND DAUGHTER. South Dakota Farmer Takes Terrible Vengence for a Divorce Suit. ARMOUR, S. D., June 12—(Special Telegram to the Omaha Bee.)—Par ticulars of the tragedy four miles northeast of Delmont, in which S. Clark shot and fatally wounded his ■wife and 15-year-old daughter, point to a cold-blooded murder. The shoot ing occurred at the home of M. E. Bunday while the Bundy family and Mrs. Clark and daughter were at din ner. Clark and wife were divorced about four years ago and were re married in June, 1898. They had four children, the daughter who was killed and three smaller ones. For some time Clark and his wife have been separated and Mrs. Clark has recently instituted proceeding for a divorce. The daughter has all the time kept house for her father and the little ones. Friday about noon Clark was plow ing near the road on his place, when his wife drove past in the direction of the Bundy homestead. Clark called to her to stop, but she made no reply and drove on. Shortly afterward the daughter came to the field and re quested permission to go to Bundy’s to see her mother. Receiving no reply she took the little children and re paired to the Bundy residence, where she was soon followed by Clark. Enter ing the house Clark demanded of his wife why she had not stopped when he called to her. “I had nothing to say to you.” "Did you sign any papers at Hoop er's yesterday?” Mrs. Clark refused to affirm or deny this, whereupon Clark drew a revolver and shot her. The ball, which was a 44-caliber, entering the left side of her neck and pasing clear through. Turn ing to the daughter, he sent a ball into her right shoulder, it passing through the body and coming out un der the right arm, breaking it. A second shot entered the back of the head and came out in the forehead. Clark then returned to his home, changed his shoes, unharnessed a horse and, armed with a rifle and re volver, started on horseback in a northwesterly direction. He had a five hours’ start when the Douglas and Hutchison county officers arrived on the scene. Six men sat for nearly five hours within a half mile of the house afraid to go near it to investigate. Mrs. Clark and daughter were alive at midnight, but their deaths were hour ly expected. Clark has not been ap prehended. AFTERMATH OF THE BIG FIGHT. Fallen Champion Makes No Excuses May Ask for Another Go. NEW YORK, June 12.—George Siler, who refereed the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons fight, said in an interview: “It was a nice, clean, straightaway fight, with no attempt on either side to foul. Both men seemed to do their best to avoid any violations of the rules. Of course, when big men like these get tired there is more or less clinching. In my opinion Jeffries had a shade the best of it for the last seven rounds. Jeffries is unquestionably a young man of remarkable strength. It was a good fight from start to finish and the best man won.’’ Ex-Champion Robert Fitzsimmona said to a World correspondent: “I fully expected to win, but I didn’t. Jeffries won because he was the better man. I could not believe that he had improved so much. He is young, strong, quick and clever. I have no excuse to make on the score of condition and over-confidence. I was in perfect trim—better, really, than I ever was before, and fought the best I could. Whereas I fully expected to win, I did not hold my man cheap. That is something I was never guilty of. Jeffries is now the champion of the world beyond question and is en titled to all the praise that may be showered upon him. I for one will not molest him for the present. Of course, I may challenge him, but it was all so sudden that I have not had time to decide just what I will do. It is not improbable that I will ask him for an other chance.” Jim Corbett said: “It proved just as I predicted.” Champion Jeffries said: “The fight was never for a moment in doubt so far as I was concerned. I knew what I could do when I entered the ring and I grew more confident every moment. I believe I am the best man in the world and I am willing to defend the title.” Miners Prepare to Strike. PITTSBURG, June 12.—A strike of 25,000 coal miners in the central dis trict of Pennsylvania is threatened. Within the last ten days secret meet ings have been held at Robertsdale and Clearfield at which the national and district officers of the United Mine Workers’ association were authorized to prepare the machine miners of the whole district for a strike to be de clared as soon as those officials thought the time ripe. A letter from a national organizer received here de clares that this will be within a month or six weeks. A complete tie-up of the mines in the central region, which includes the counties of Cambria, Clearfield, Jeffer son, Armstrong, Huntington, Bedford. Somerset, Center and Clarion, would seriously hamper the great ship coal ing depots of the eastern seaboard, for that is where most of the. product goes. Bringing Home Daly's Remains. SOUTHAMPTON, June 12.—The re mains of Augustin Daly, who died in Paris on Wednesday, arrived here from Havre. The casket was enclosed in a case marked “A. D., New York.” It was quietly removed from the steamer and placed in a railroad vehicle, which transferred it to the Empress dock for shipment to the United States by the steamer New York, which sails today. Mrs. Daly will be a passenger on the same steamer. Only the honorable Mrs. Eric Farrington, a frierid of the family, accompanied the remains from Paris. Mill and Money Missing. CHICAGO, June 12.—The will of Martin Meier, the eccentric Swiss, who on Wednesday was found bound and murdered in his home on West Fifty seventh street, is missing. Brooklyn has a “hospital for bread winners,” to be occupied by women,-, and although an unfortunate woman ' who had lost all her money would pro bably be cared for In the same way as her sisters it is understood that the class which it is intended to ben efit most directly is that large body of the intelligent, thrifty and industrious that earns its livelihood by services as clerks, typewriters, stenographers, nurses, dressmakers, etc. Trouble is like a mudhole; It’s easy enough to get in, but takes all one’s power to get out. Many good people prefer to take alt the risks themselves, rather than let the church catch any disease from the rot of all evil. Laundry Work Made Easy.'
