CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT
OF M. E. SMITH FACTORY
There was a change made this
morning In the management of the
local factory of the M. K. Smith com
pany. Miss Schnelfuls, who has been
in charge since the opening of the
factory here, was transfered to Ne
braska City, where she assumes a
Similar position, and Miss Katie lless
las been appointed to All the posi
tion of manager made vacant by the
removal of Miss Schnelfuls. We are
Informed that the factory here has
been turning out more work for the
number employed than any of tho
one branches; everything has been
4a most satisfactory condition under
the management of Miss Schnelfuls,
and the only cause for the change Is
Imply that her services are needed
la Nebraska City, where the factory Is
Wing enlarged and many new girls
placed at work. The factory here has
always been very small, owing to the
limited number of girls that they
have been ablo to secure, there belnR
only about thirty employed at the
present time, where they wanted fully
100. Miss Katie Hess has been with
the factory for some time and has
-Wn very apt under the Instructions
of her experienced manager, con
sequently und. rr.tandlng the business
to such an extent that the company
feels that they have In Miss lloss an
xcellent person, at the head of the
local factory. The Journal regrets
very much to see Miss Schnelfuls
leave our city, where, during her
abort stay, she has gained many
friends, owing to her pleasant ways
ml excellent business qualifications.

ZUGKWEILER LUTZ
On Monday, March 13, as Mr. E.
II. Dills, who resided on a farm near
Sidney, Iowa, and who is a brother-in-law
of Mrs. (Jeorge Parks of this
city, was engaged In doing the chores
about the place about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, was shut In the right hip
'.n some mysterious? manner, which.
at first was thought to be an attempt
to commit suicide, but later and after
a further examination had ben made,
was found to be untrue, as there were
no powder burns. Mr. Dills returned
to the house and then went out in
the yard again and was gone for
about fifteen minutes, then he return
ed to the house and went out again
to complete the chores. On his re
turn to the house at this time he laid
down on the couch and a few min
utes later called to his wife and in
formed her that he was In pain. When
she discovered that he was a very sick
man she called a physician and a
number of the neighbors to come in
and assist her in caring for him.
When the physician and neighbors
arrived Mr. Dills wns in such pain
that when he was carried from the
couch to the bed he had to be placed
on a sheet. The next morning Ins
condition was about the same and he
omplalned of his right hip being wet,
and upon being examined It was
found to be covered with blood.
Mrs. Dills again called the physi
cian and it was at this time that It
was found that Mr. Dills was suffer
ing from a wound by a gunshot.
which Mr. Dills said he received on
his Arst trip to do the chores and at
the time he was In the cow shed, as it
was at that time that he suddenly be
came very faint and dizzy, but could
not recall hearing the noise of the ex
plosion of a gun and had not noticed
anyone about the place, except at the
time he enter the cow shed for the
Arst time, when he saw a man run
behind the shed.
It is not known whether this party
may have been some tramp who had
come to the Dili place with the Intent
of robbing the house, and having en
countered Mr. Dills, shot him. Mr.
Dills had been In the habit of keeping
a loaded shotgun In the barn, which
he used to kill rats with, and It Is
thought that the party who did the
shooting may have secured this gun,
used It, and then replaced It, as It
was found to have but one empty
shell in It.
I,nst October Mr. Dills received a
note from a party unknown to him
Informing him to keep away from the
public highway and public places and
to stay at home most of the time or
he would be shot, and this has caused
Mr. Dills to worry considerable, and
this constant worry has underminded
his health, which has been very poor
the past few months. Fearing the
threat made In this note, Mr. Dills
had remained at his home most of
the time. It Is thought this party
may have entered the Dills' place, un
known to the Dills' family, and
carried out the threat.
Upon the advice of the attending
physician, Mr. Dills was taken to the
Jennie Kdmondson hospital at Coun
cil Bluffs, Iowa, that evening (Tues
day) and on Wednesday morning,
March 15, at 3 o'clock, Drs. McCrary
and Tlndley performed an operation,
In the hope that they might be able
to locate the bullet and alleviate Mr.
Dill's Bufferings, but the said bullet
could not be found. Previous to the
operation the relatives of the sick
man had been Informed that Mr.
Dills could not recover without the
operation, but that they might be
able to save his life by operating
upon him in the hope that they would
locate the bullet. During the opera
tion It was found that the bullet had
also penetrated tho walls of the
stomach.
Mr. Dills lingered for about ten
days and died last Saturday morning
at r : 20. Mrs. (Ieorge Parks was at
his bedside constantly and reports
that he was conscious up to the time
of his death, the only time he seemed
to have lost consciousness being
shortly after having been shot, which
lasted but a few minutes, and up to
the time of his death could not recall
any particulars as to the shooting.
Edward 11. Dills was born in
Canada November 21, 18 IS, and died
at the Jennie Kdmondson hospital at
Council Bluffs, Iowa. March 2.r, 1911.

FREIGHT TRAF
FIC STILL LIGHT
But Better Than it Was Several
Months Ago, and May
Increase.
Freight traffic on Nebraska roads
is still light, it is some belter, than
it was a few weeks ago, the local,
stock traffic and an Increase in the
grain movement having helped the
situation materially. The through
tonnage.ls still light. Passenger traf
fic has picked up considerably since
late In January, and local passenger
business Is fairly strong. When the
spring and summer rates become ef
fective the traffic will become much
heavier.

Concerning the general business
situation this statement comes from
the Chicago Record-Herald. It
carries with It the announcement that
the Ilurlington will not complete its
Thermopolls-Powder river extension
this season, for which most of the
grading Is now complete: .
"Statements Issued by the Chicago
railroad officials announce that a
general curtailment In the number of
employees of the various companies
has been effected during the past six
weeks. 'Lack of business' Is the
reason ascribed for the policy of re
trenchment that Is being enforced.
Soon after the Interstate commerce
commission announced Its decision
denying to the railroads throughout
the country the right to Increase
freight rates predictions were made
In many quarters that thousands of
employees would be thrown out of
work as a result. While this fore
cast proved to be true In the case of
a number of weak roads which had
hoped to bolster up their finances by
charging a larger amount for the
transportation of freight, the stronger
lines took no action towards
diminishing their pay rolls.
MUST CHARGE SAME
RATE TO EVERT SHIPPER
The practice common on railroads
of charging a less rate for carrying
commodities destined for use by other
roads than is charged the general
public was declared to be unlawful
by the interstate commerce commis
sion. As a result the railroads will
not be permitted 'to give to one shtp
per as against another any preference
In the matter of rates on Interstate
shipments. In dealing with a case In
volving the transportation of coal the
commission held that rates restricted
to the use of certain shippers and not
open to all shippers are unlawful
within the meaning of the Interstate
commerce act. The parties to the
proceeding, which was initiated by
the commission, Included practically
all of the coal carrying railroads in
the east and other railroads which do
not originate their own fuel supply.
