WITH STRYCHNINE.

Was at One Time a Woman of Much
Wealth—Another Bank Wrecker to
Be Tried—Miscellaneous Nebraska
Matters.
STANTON. Neb., July 2.—Mrs.
Anna M. Eberling committed suicide
by taking poison, supposed to be
strychnine, in her room at this place.
For a number of years Mrs. Eberling
has been a prominent character in
Stanton county. Eighteen years ago
she came to the county with her two
sons from Brooklyn, N. Y., and pur
chased two sections of land, erected
extensive buildings and engaged In
the ranch business. Her husband
was formerly, a wholesale liquor deal
er of Brooklyn and was killed in a
dynamite explosion. The sons be
came dissipated and Mrs. Eberling re
moved with them here in hopes that
a change would wean them from their
evil habits. When she came here her
wealth Is estimated to have been
between $G0,000 and $80,000. The
waywardness of her sons soon ex
hausted her ready money and the;
ranch was mortgaged and later sold,
to satisfy the same. The sons drift-!
ed away and have since died. Mrs.
Eberling remained in the county con
trary to frequent requests from a sis
ter residing In Brooklyn, who Is also
purported to be wealthy. ;
Since losing her riches she haa
lived partly from her own efforts and
partly upon money received from heij
sister. Her actions at times have
been somewhat erratic.
She was found lying dead on hei!
bed. She had made all preparation*
for death, disrobing, putting on nighd
clothes, removing her false teeth and
then, taking the poison, lay down oni
her bed to die. On the table waa
found a bottle labeled strychnine.
NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS}
Week Cold and Wet and Harvesting
Generally Delayed.
United States Department of Agrl->
culture, climatic and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau, Nebraska section,!
for the week ending June 30, 1902: j
The past week has been cold and'
wet; the daily mean temperature has'
averted 12 degrees below normal in
the Eastern counties and 8 degrees;
below normal in western.
The rainfall exceeded an inch in
most parts of the state, except the
northern counties, where it was slight
ly less than an inch. The rainfall was
heaviest in the southeastern counties,
where it ranged from two to slightly
more than four inches.
The cold, wet weather has caused
winter wheat to ripen slowly and has
delayed harvesting; considerable
wheat, however, was cut the past week
and the heavy rains seem to have had
little injurious effect upon the wheat
crop. Oats are a very rank growth,
are lodging some and are ripening in
the southern counties. Corn has
grown very slowly because of the low,
temperature; the fields are generally
clear of weeds and the plant in good
healthy condition, and although a little
small, is being laid by in southern
counties. G. A. LOVELAND,
Section Director, Lincoln, Neb.

"The fact o( his having told depos
itors of the bank that it was sound
and safe was aiding and abetting A.
H. Gould in the crooked work. No
fair-minded man can come to any
other conclusion than that all of the
Goulds were implicated in the issu
ance of forged notes and mortgages.”
There were twenty-flve counts in
the complaint and of these the court
struck out five. The defendant will
answer to the district court on the
remaining nineteen.

"Spoonerisms.”
There are two Spooners, our own
"Badger” Spooner, of Wisconsin, and
Rev. Dr. Professor William Archibald
Spooner of Oxford university, • and
both are guilty of some famous
“Spoonerisms,” writes Victor Smith
in the New York Press. My old
friend, William Braddon, knows the
■professor very well, and tells some
funny stories of that eccentric genius,
whose fame as a ludicrous word twist
er has spread all over Europe. When
he came out in chapel the first line
of the missionary hymn. "From
Greenland’s Icy Mountains,” he con
torted it thus: “From Iceland's
greasy mountains.” Another hymn he
announced as “Kinkering Kongs their
titles take.” At a special service, see
ing some women standing at the back
of the church waiting to be seated,
he rushed down the aisle and address
ed the ushers as follows: "Gentlemen,
gentlemen, sew these ladies into their
sheets.” Being asked at dinner what
he would have, he promptly replied,
“Pigs, fleas.” i

[to the upholsterers and decorators!
.The Paris courts have now ordered the
'tenant to admit M. Dreyfus once aj
week for two hours until the expira

A doctor was summoned but she
got no better. He said she had Kid-I

' Two other doctors were called in)
and they agreed that there was very'
,little, if any, hope. She was bloated
(all over, her eyes being completely
closed and her abdomen bloated un-*

They bought six boxes «of Dodd’s*
Kidney Pills and she commenced to'

boxes before the Dropsy was a'l gone.
