Her Mothor Is Suspected by the Xcti., 11. '0. Last Friday evening nbout I) p. in. Maggie Mendall, daughter of CliarleH and Margaret Men dall, living live miles northwest of Wisner, was t.iken violently fcick while at home with her mother and younger nUtcr and brother. She had spasms at intervals, which soon became more fre fiuent. A dot-tor was summoned, but arrived just in time to witness her death at 11 p. m. The manner of her death s'fitrd. poison, and the coroner was called, who arrived on Saturday and summoned a jury of farmers. The evi dence developed the fact that Mrs. Men dall had driven her husband away from home and that lie was living with a stepson about two inihs distant, and that she had made home a'terror for him for two years. She refused to send for him upon the earnest appeal of the dying daughter, and he did not sec the child until sfter her death. The son tes tified, in the presence of his mother, that she (the mother) had threatened to kill him and his itcr (the deceased) at various times if they did not leave home. Other testimony brought out satisfied the jury that something was wrong, but being inexperienced they acted upon the advice of coroner who,-it seems, feared the county would not stand the expense of an nutopy and examination, and ad vised the jury to find a verdict that she came to her death fmm "causes unknown.' The body was buried yesterday, but from the interest manifested by citizens and' neighbors iu the case, it is quite probable that it will be exhumed for examination. THE OMNIBUS BILL. An Agreement Finally Reachen By the Conferees. Washington', Feb. 20. After many hours' consultation the conferees on the omnibus territorial bill reached a. cou clusi n last evening, and Messrs.

If this is not to be the case, then we must center in the great nation of America." A Three Foot Coal Vain. Uxadilla, Neb.,Feb. 20. Tins ri'.Uge is in a fever heat of excitement today oyer the discovery of a threa foot vein of coal by well diggers on tha property of John ilorton. At a depth of ninety feet they struck a vein of six inches. Latter, at a depth of ISO feet, today a vein of eighteen inches was discovered, and today the rlotj dhjCOYerj c,S a tl,roe foot vein ut the depth of 26-j feet, The excitement runs high. Numbers of capi talists have visited the discovery from adjacent points, anxious to iuvest. The owner of the property has had proposi tions from these gentlemen to form a stock company of $10,000 for the deve lopment of the vein. A (ample of the find will be taken to Lincoln ut once for analysis. Meanwhile work will proceed in developing the vein, and perhaps the well diggers will go still deeper in hopes to find a still thicker deposit. The Hlppolyte Arsenal Steamer- New Yoiik, Feb. 20.

Superttltlona About Insect The Koran says all flie3 shall perish KU'i' one -the beo fly. It is legardod as a death warning in (Jerniany to hoar a cricket's cry. Tho Tapnva Indians in South America say the devil assumes tho form of a fly. llain is, in Home parts of the country, ex lifted to follow unusuaily loud chirp in;' of crickets. Flies are regarded as furnishing prog nostications of tho weather and even of other events. Spaniards, in the Sixteenth century, Ik. lieveil that spiders indicated gold when they wero found in abundance. In Germany it is said to indicate good luck to have a spider spin his web down ward toward you, but bad luck when he rises toward jou. Although a sacred insect among the Egyptians, tho licetlo receives but little notice in folklore. It is unlucky in Eng land to kill one. The grasshopper is a sufficiently un welcome visitant of himself in this coun trj but in Germany hi3 presence js fur-tlif-r said to announce Ktr'ango guests. The ancients generally maintained that there was a closo connection between bees and the soul. Porjfcvry speaks of 'those souls which" the Ancients called bees." German tribes regard stag beetles as diabolic, and all bee3 are detested in Ire land, more especially a bronze variety known as "gooldie." It is also believed that to see a beetle will bring on rain the next day. Cincinnati Enquirer. Tho Grave of riaiiMi. Succeeding generations have been very kind to Hamlet in taking such pains to build him a grave and keep it in repair. It is necessary for the would bo visitor to this spot to pass through a garde and pay a small fee, afer vvlach lie may wander at bis pwn sweet will among the great trees in a pretty grovo pn a little ridge. In the furthermost rear corner is a pyramid of stone of artificial rough ness, about which a sickly ivy struggles for existence. That is all there is of it. Hamlet doesn't seem to care for much style in thi3 matter; he probably finds this rustic affair amid th trees more to his taste. I imagine he might find it .very pleasant to come put fine, evenings, sit down and b'r.aco himself up against tliis pile of stones and gaze put over the moonlit waters across to tho" spectral tower of Ilelsingberg and muse pver his toric bygones. Pypr -all down in a littk dell, they have named a trickling rtrcam "Ophelia's Springs," Inasmuch as that maiden did not consider it quite the square thing that llamh t should have a grave and she be left without any such iilllo remembrance. It is very poncen ier.t, accordingly, for the overs' of old when they wish to IiolU littlo epiritual ktic seances up in the grove, and it is easy to imagine leng jind interesting meetings I'V llio iitiU 'pyramid in which tlse original ghcM of Hamlet's father very likely makes desultory remarks about Li:; former bk;uo. -Berlin Letter in Nov.'

"Oh," said the other, "be was probably as large as she was in thoxc flays.

Chicago Journal. Who Owns the i'V'to .rapli? Justice North's decisioii in a London court that private photographs are pri rate property is a resussertion. or rather a natural application, of a principle which should lie familiar. Uiu-rupulous photographers have claimed the right to sell and exhibit photographs of their customers against their will, and there have been legal opinions conlinah.g this extraordinary view. Thus it has been held that tho employment and payment of a photographer to reproduce the feat ures pf a private person, for the latter's private purposes, gave the photographer a right to use the negative for tho pub lication of photographs for public sale. Justice North, however, declares the photographer wholly in the wrong, and aptly says that while the negative be longs to the photographer the copyright is vested in the person photographed. This eminently sensible doci-ion b would check a practice common abroad. For tunately, this evil has been less prevalent here, although it exists, jd American courts, we boisv, Iive decided that the photogiApher has no right to make mer chandise of the likenesses of private cus tomers.
