STATE COMMISSION AUTHORIZES ISSUE OF RAILWAY BONDS Application of Northwestern of $20,162,000 Refunding Bonds Granted. Lincoln, Nob., Nov. 12.—The state railway commission yesterday au thorized the Issue of $20,162,000 general mortgage gold bonds of 1897 by the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. Most of the bonds are to be used for refunding the matured securities of roads that have come under North western control. Of the entire sum $613,000. according to the representations of the company, is to be used to refund the expenses of retiring old bonds, $8,549,000 will be used to take up bonds which will ma ture before January 1, 1910, $9,000,000 will be used to cover improvements now made in the road and $2,000,000 Will be used to finance Improvements and extensions now contemplated or undor way. The bonds are to be sold for money or.ly. Permission to issue the bonds was applied for under the Shallenberger act. Previous to this application the Wisconsin commission hud approved the bond issue, the Northwestern be ing incorporated in that state. It is deemed Improbable that the Nebraska commission could hold up the issu ance of bonds by an interstate cor poration, but if th® commission found reason to withhold its consent to the issuance of bonds, it might seriously Inconvenience the road for a time. The recognition of the act by Interstate corporations Is deemed a rather valu able precedent. MIND UNBALANCED OVER HIS FAILURE TO DRAW A CLAIM Aberdeen, K.

NEBRASKA WOMAN’S SUIT FOR DIVORCE STUNS HER HUSBAND Left Another Swain at Altar and Now Wants to Go Her Way Alone. New York, Oct. 30.—Fernando Wan Benner, young president of the Benner Heal Estate company of No. 49 Liberty st., was the most astonished man in the city last night when newspaper reports of the suit for divorce instituted against him in Omaha were shown to him. Mr. Benner's wife was Happy Theo dora Van Wyck, only child of the late Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, whose fortune she Inherited. As a belle in Washington about seven years ago, she caused a social sensation by suddenly exercising her womanly privilege to change her mind and saying "No” at the altar of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church, when the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Iiadcliffe, and her fiance, Frank Mitchell, a young southerner, expected her to say "yes.” Through her action in Omaha Friday last the secret of her refusal to wed Mitchell was for the first time disclosed. "I hadn't the slightest idea she had done anything likv this," said Mr. Ben ner last night. “I cannot account for it. Some strange influence is being ex ercised over her. He Will Fight the Suit. “I shall go to Omaha and find out the actual reason for her suit. In the meantime of course I shall have my lawyer here and see that my rights are protected. I do not want my friends to believe false accusations against me, and as a business man I cannot af ford to permit such charges to go un refuted. “In the first place it is said that a summons and complaint have been served on me. That is untrue. My friends do not accuse me of selfishness, as my wife does. I did not induce her to give me money, as alleged, and I have not deserted her. She went away lust February, presumably to look after her property in the west. She took our little boy with her. I have been in com munication with her since and have re peatedly asked her to return. “If I find the busybody who has been interfering in our affairs I shall most certainly demand an explanation.” From other sources it was learned that Mrs. Benner has extravagant tastes, the characteristics of a spoiled child, and the quick temper usually at tributed to auburn haired beauties. Lawyer Influenced Her. Ik her social set here her husband's belief that some outsider had prompted her to bring suit against him was co incident in. This influence, it was said, comes l£om an aged law’yer, whose mo tive, it is assumed, is a desire to man age her estate. No one thinks it is due to the impul siveness that caused her to accept the proposition of marriage from young Mitchell seven years ago and then to refuse suddenly to marry him. Of this incident a friend said last night: "She was in love with Benner all the time Mitchell was courting her. She was very young, however, with no father or mother, and was flattered by his importunity and devotion. In an unwary moment she gave her consent to marry him. He obtained the license and with her drove to the rectory of St. Margaret’s church in Washington. The rector, the Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, was shaving at the time and the impatient Mitchell refused to wait. He ordered the cabman to drive to the New York Avenue Presbyterian church, where Dr. Radcllffe consented to per form the ceremony. He had proceeded to that part in the service where the minister is required to ask, ‘Do you take this man to be your wedded hus band for better or for worse?’ when Miss Van Wyck said: ‘No, I don't. This is too serious. I've got to think this over.’ “Pressed for her reasons, she added to the pastor’s astonishment by say ing to him: 'Oh. let us all three go downtown, have a good supper and for get all this foolishness.’ “The real reason for her extraordi nary action was the fact that on tho way from one church to the other the thought came that she was cutting her self off forever from Benner and she repented. "Immediately after that episode in her career she went to Milford, Pa. From there, a few weeks afterward, she came to New York and was mar ried to Benner in the Little Church Around the Corner.” BALTIMORE SECURES W.G, T.U.

YOUNG MAN SHOOTS SWEETHEART AND SELF Bodies Are Found in Buggy by Roadside—Case of One Sided Affection. Clay Center, Neb., Oct. 27.—A double tragedy, accepted by the authorities as a murder and suicide, was disclosed yesterday when a farmer four miles from Clay Center found the dead bodies of Leroy Foster and Miss Inez Cox in a buggy near the roadway adjoining his farm. Apparently they had been dead a number of hours. Both were shot In the region of the heart, and near the man lay a revolver. Leroy Foster was a rural mail carrier, 23 years old, and Miss Cox was a stenographer, a year or two older than the man. They had gone rkling together Saturday night follow ing an invitation of the young man. The todies were brought to Clay Cen ter. where Coroner Howard summoned a Jury and held r.n Inquest yesterday afternoon. The testimony at the In quest made It plain to the Jury that Foster had killed the young woman and then himself, and a verdict to this effect was returned. Foster and Miss Cox had been keep ing company for a few months and the impression is that he was in love with the girl, who accepted him as a friend, but did not reciprocate bis affection. The theory accepted by the coroner’s Jury, as well as friends of the two, Is that he proposed marriage, was either rejected or put off for a time, and that he then killed the young woman and himself. There Is evidence that the crime was premeditated. Foster had bought poison, which '.. as found on Ills person, but the package had not been opened. Both the young man and woman were prominent socially, and enjoyed the best of reputations. SCHLATTER IDENTIFIED AS CHARLES M’LEAN Hastings, Neb., Oct. 27.—Hector Mc Lean, of Brush.

Mr. Walsh, hitherto allowed to travel about the country, must now, however, re main in Chicago. The government's petition set forth that Walsh, with a sentence of five years imprisonment confronting him, and with plenty of money at his com mand, could well afford to leave the country, repaying his bondsmen. He Agrees to Surrender.

Judge Grosscup said: "Nothing is brought to our attention In the petition that shows any greater likelihood that the plaintiff in error will not remain in the jurisdiction of the court to answer to the final order of the court, than ordinarily exists in criminal cases at this stage of the pro cedure. "To sustain, therefore, the prayer of this petition would be to say that no convicted man, whose conviction has been affirmed, shall be allowed to bo out on bail, pending a petition for re hearing, or an application to the su preme court, for writ of certiorari. Detectives on His Trail. "This action does not, however, pre clude the government from keeping plaintiff in error under such surveil lance as it may deem proper, nor for asking for Increased hail. The mat ter of increased bail is not before us on this petition.” Mr. Walsh is said to have been placed under constant scrutiny of five govern merit agents last night.
