PLAIIT TREES FOR M'KINLEY
What Experience Shows Regarding
Timber Culture in Nebraska Child
Poisoned by Eating Pills Freight
Car Burns Miscellaneous Matterc
LINCOLN. Neb., March 19. The
planting of trees In commemoration
of William McKlnley has been sug
gested in the official proclamation by
Governor Savage as a feature for the
next Arbor day, which will be Tues
day. April 22. The governor's proc
lamation follows:
Executive Chamber, Lincoln By
virtue of the authority vested in me
by law, I, Ezra P. Savage, governor of
Nebraska, do hereby proclaim Tues
day. April 21, 1902. Arbor day.
The extensive use of timber In man
ufacture and in public and private
Improvements is and for some years
has been a heavy drain upon the for
est resources and unless expansion
along this line keeps pace with devas
tation serious consequences must ulti
mately be the legacy.
Forestry is both useful and orna
mental. While, strictly speaking, for
estry may not be Indigenous, still
splendid results have attended every
substantial effort to develop our re
sources In this respect. Experience
has demonstrated that tree culture
may be prosecuted as successfully in
Nebraska as in any of the so-called
timber states. Both soil and climate
are adapted to it. For this reason
there should be no relaxation in the
planting of trees. Each succeeding
Arbor day should add at least oOO.oou
trees and shrubs to our woodland 03
tate. It means wealth, pleturesque-
ne;: and comfort, and eventually will
b a powerful magnet In the attraction
of capital and population to Nebraska.
'. the observance of Arbor day on
this occasion 1 do earnestly and re
spectfully request that the day be
specially observed by the children of
.the public schools and by citizens
generally, and that in addition to faith
fully discharging the obligations of
Arbor day a tree be planted com
memorative of our late and greatly
beloved president, William MeKinley.
A iMcKinley memorial tree will fur
nish food in after years for both sol
emn and impressive reflection, and
will be a merited tribute to one who
during his life exhausted his best ef
forts and taxed his best energies to
promote the welfare and happiness of
his country and his countrymen.

LINCOLN, Neb.. March 19. Grand
Army posts of the state are practically
unanimous in favor of postponing their

order to all posts in which he called

MAY POCTPONE ENCAMPMtNT.
And Thus Have the National Officers
Present.
LINCOLN. Neb., March 17. De
partment Commander It. S. Wilcox
of the Grand Army of the Republic
has Issued the following special or
der No. 2, which explains itself:
"Comrades: The rules and regula
tions of the Grand Army fix the date
of our encampment on the second
Wednesday In May of each year,
which comes on the 14th.
'It is always desirable and a great
pleasure to have our national officers
with us on these occasions. Your
commander has extended a cordial In
vitation and has received a reply frm
General Eli Torrance, our national
commander, and Genera! S. II. Fow
ler, sending their regrets and inform
ing this department that their time
was fully engaged up to the 22d of
May, when they would be pleased to
one from the Iowa encampment to
this and asking us to change date to
May 22.
"This your commander cannot do
until a majority of the posts in this
depaitment are given the opiortunity
to express themselves. It is the de
sire of your commander to have these
distinguished comrades present to en
courage and assist our department.
No material damage can possibly oc
cur by reason of one week's change
and much good can be accomplished,
therefore the commander submits the
following proposition to you:
"You will canvass your members
and return the ballot herewith in
closed to the A. A. G. on or before
the 1st day or April. 192. Inclosed
you will find blank ballot."
The proposition inclosed with the
order Is simply whether the encamp
ment shall be called for May 22 or
not.
ABANDONS VETERAN ROSTER.
State Finds it Impracticable to Keep
List of Soldiers and Sailors.
LINCOLN. Neb., March 17. The
state printing board, acting with the
advice of Commander Wilcox and As
sistant Howe of the Grand Army of
the Republic, has decided to discon
tinue the practice of printing a bien
nial roster of soldier and sailor vet
erans of the state. This conclusion
was reached after it was found im
possible to obtain a complete, accu
rate list of the veterans. The law
makes it the duty of tax assessors
to collect the information, but pro
vides no compensation for the work,
and it was discovered that In nearly
every case a large number of names
were omitted from the reports re
turned to the secretary of state. The
assessors last year returned the
names of approximately 10,000 veter
ans, and it is believed that this list
is short not less than 5.000. Some
counties refused to enroll the names
and others sent lists that were admit
ted to be incorrect.
"The board thought it best to pub
lish no roster at all than to send out
one that is known to be incomplete,'
said Deputy Secretary of State Mc
Cartney. "It is true that the law re
quires the assessors to do the work,
but many refused point blank to obey
arid we did not think we could gain
very much by resorting to mandamus
proceedings. The officers of the Ne
braska department of the Grand Army
of the Republic were consulted and
thej- agreed with the members of the
board that the publication of an in
correct roster would be a Useless ex
penditure of funds. They say they
can gather the information through
the agency of their posts and do the
work at a small expense."

LINCOLN, Neb., March 17. Wil
liam Leese, formerly attorney general

MAKES BAD BREAK
IN ROLE OF BANDIT A YOUNG
MAN MEETS DEATH.
FIRST WROTE TIIREATEHUICLY
Attempt to Extcrt Money Comes to
Utter Failure Bandit Suffers Death
Rather Than to Be Captured Ne
braska News Notes.
FILLEY, Neb.. March 18. While
enacting the role of a desperado in
rather a lame fashion, Willard Smith,
a young man of this county, was fa
tally shot and died soon afterward.
His death has caused a sensation
here where his family is well known,
and the plot in which has was en
gaged has stunned the community.
A few days ago T. P. Iewellen, a
prominent merchant of this place, re
ceived a letter demanding $150 and
containing a threat that bis store
would be burned if he failed to com
ply with conditions. He was told to
wrap the money in a package and
place It in the store room of the
Methodist church not later than 7:4o
o'clock Sunday night.
Mr. Lewellen is a man not easily
frightened and he decided that if the
letter. was not a hoax he would bring
disaster upon the one who wrote the
threat. He at once conferred with
Sheriff Waddington and a plan to cap
ture the writer of the letter was made.
The money was placed in the church
as had been stipulated, and then Mr.
Lewellen retired to join three officers
who were watching the church.
Shortly alter the appointed time a
man was seen to emerge from the
darkness and enter the church.
As he aproached the spot where
the money was deposited Frank Shad
Icy, one of the watchers, sprang from
his place of concealment toward the
entrance of the church. He called
upon the man to hait, but received
only a curse in reply. Shadley then
shot and fatally wounded the youth,
who had started to run. The wound
ed young man was taken to a store
near by and was at once recognized.
His parents, who live two miles
from town, were prostrated. Thoy are
at a loss to understand why their son
should have adopted such means to
secure funds, as they are compara
tively wealthy and gave him a good
deal of pocket money.
About a month ago an attempt was
made to destroy the town by fire, but
failed. Another and more successful
attempt was made ten days ago. An
agricultural implement house, a car
riage 'repository, a blacksmith shop
and a portion of a lumber yard were
destroyed by the flames. It is now
believed that the incendiary was none
other than Willard Smith.

and Superintendent Baxter of Omaha
arrived at Cedar Rapids Thursday in
a special car and from here went

to the public, but it is a reasonable
supposition that they are considering
the question of whether it will pay
to extend the railroad to Spalding.
.Fall Wheat is All Right.
EXETER. Neb.. March 18. After
two days of strong wind, accompa
nied by dust so dense that the sun

Now in Excess of Nineteen Hundred
Dollars.
OMAHA. Neb., March 15. The Mc
Klnley Memorial fund in the state of
Nebraska at this time shows a total
In excess of $1,900 contributed by the

has been practically completed and in
only a few of the - states has the
amount been less than the estimate
of the managers of the fund. The or
iginal amount expected from Nebraska
was $5,000, and it will require some ef
fort on the part of those who admired
the late president to place the state
in the position it should occupy in
the movement looking to the construc
tion of a monument to his memory.
The amounts received by the treas
urer of the state association since the

MR. FRYTS BILL
'lT 18 DECLARED BY SOME A3 UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
FUAKER FAVORS THE MEASURE
Ohio Statesman Admits Preference for
Discriminating Duties, but is Will
ing to Vote with the Majority Oth
r Washington Matters.
WASHINGTON. D. O, March 15.
Throughout the session of the senate
yesterday the ship subsidy bill was
under consideration. The measure
was discussed by Messrs. Foraker of
Ohio, McLaurin of Mississippi and
Harris of Kansas.
Mr. Foraker supported the bill, al
though he admitted that he would
have preferred to build up the Amer
ican merchant marine by the levying
of discriminating duties. He was
willing, however, to defer to the Judg
ment of the majority that the pending
measure embodied the better plan.
Both Mr. McLaurin and Mr. Harris
opposed the measure on the ground
that, in their judgment, it was not
constitutional. They ' maintained that
it was class legislation, which amount
ed to little short of robbery of the
people for the benefit of a few ship
owners. Mr. Harris made the point
that the United States now was pay
ing more to the American line for the
carrying of ocean mails than was paid
to foreign ships for greater service.
Mr. Foraker said .that while he had
to vote for the bill, he was not en
tirely satisfied with it. Ever since he
had studied the question he had been
of the opinion that the most equitable
and suitable way to rehabilitate the
merchant marine of the United States
would be to inaugurate the policy of
discriminating duties under which the
fathers of the country made car mer
chant marine the pride of the coun
try. The senator In charge of the bill
(Mr. Frye) had stated c'early the ob
jections to the adoption of the plan
of discrimination duties, twenty-one
treaties being an absolute bar to that
policy. "
Referring to the purported purchase
cf foreign steamship lines, Mr. For
aker said by some it had been men
tioned as if It were a crime. The
fact was that if any offense detriment
al to the country had been committed
It had been committed by the senate
Itself.
As to the relative cost of building
and operating ships under the Amer
ican flag, Mr. Foraker said the pre
ponderance of the evidence was
against the proposition that the ves
sels could be built or operated in this
country as cheaply as abroad.
Mr. Foraker asserted that the Amer
ican line had made no money by car
rying the mails under the postal sub
sidy act and did not care for a re
newal of its contract.
The proposed legislation was such
as would enable the United States to
build ships and fly the flag of the mer
chant marine in every port of the
world.
Mr. McLaurin of Mississippi follow
ed Mr. Foraker. . He was opposed, he
said, not only to the bill, but to the
r.rinciples it represents. Whatever is
given by the government as a subsidy,
Mr. McLaurin charged, would be sim
ply a contribution to the dividends
of those engaged in shipping, instead
of for the purpose of encouraging
ship building in this country. He said
there had been no decadence in ship
building in the United States, as re
ports tended to show that ship build
ing was experiencing a boom it had
not experienced in years.
ASKS FRENCH FOR WAR SHIPS.
Paris Press Advocates Cambon's Idea
of Strong Representation.
PARIS, March 15. The Echo de
Paris, commenting on the adoption of
the resolution by the United States
congress inviting France to participate
in the inauguration of the Rocham
beau monument at Washington May
24, says:
"M. Cambon, the French ambassa
dor at Washington, has strongly urged
the French government to send a war
ship to represent France at the cere
mony. We hope the ministers of war
and of the navy also will be represent
ed by high officials. There is no doubt
that it is an excellent opportunity, on
the morrow of Prince Henry's visit,
to make the exercises, at the Franco
American manifestation of sympathy
with Rochambeaur, imposing in char
acter and invest them with solemnity
and grandeur."
Mrs. Conger in Pekin Society.
PEKIN, March 15. Mrs. Conger,
wife of the United States minister

American legation and of the mis
sions, entertained at tiffin today elev

dented. The dowager empress sent

that the kindly relations established
will remain unbroken.
