With a Knife Blade, He Sever Hi Jugular Vein -Act Committed
When He Hear That Governor Had Honored Requisition of
the Governor of Illinois For Hi Return There.
A Hun Francisco dispatch of to
day tells of the attempt at suicide
of the former Cass county hanker,
Carey A. Manker. The dispatch
follows:
C. A. Manker, the former hanker
of Pearl. III., who surrendered to
the police here, several days ago,
confessing that he was wanted for
the embezzlement of $i5,000 and
for whose return to Illinois a re

Governor Johnson, attempted to
commit suicide late today hy stab
bing himself in the neck.
The man, unconscious, was
found on the floor of his cell in
the city prison, and was removed
to the emergency hospital. It was
found that the knife blade had
severed the juglar vein. The
ltnife evidently was smuggled into
Manker and the chief of police has
ordered an examination.
This afternoon in Sacramento
Governor Johnson honored the re
quisition of t tie governor of Il
linois for the removal of Manker
to Pike county. Since his arrest
six days ago, Manker has been
downcast, lie persisted in the as

were Hie outcome of treachery on
the p:rt of business associates.
As soon as word was received

LUCKY ESCAPE FROM .
A BAD ACCIDENT
Ed Mason and Family Were
Dragged on Road When Buggy
Was Overturned.
Crop Had Reached a Point Where
It Had to Have Rain
Quick or Fail.
Iteginning about midnight last
night and lasting until the early
hours of morning, a rain, general
in extent, fell in southeastern Ne
braska and southwestern Iowa
and undoubtedly saved hundreds
of thousands of acres of corn
from being a total failure.
The amount of rainfall, as
measured at the Burlington depot,
was .81. of an inch. This is not a
big rainfall, but as the rain fell
gradually, much of it had a
chance to soak into the ground.
At many points, perhaps, the
amount of water which fell was
greater.
The rain was absolutely neces
sary to save the late corn, ine
corn had tasseled, but there were
no shoots,, and farmers said that
the pollen would be gone in a few
days, and that if the corn was
to be saved the rain must come at
once. There is, of course, much
corn in this vicinity that is al
ready ruined, or will make but a
small average per acre. Farmers
says that much corn has been lost
because of improper cultivation.
The farmers who gave attention
to it and who plowed continually
in order to keep the moisture in
the ground, will have good crops,
while those who neglected their
corn will have small yields. The
rain will also be of great benefit
to pastures and to forage crops.
According to the official weather
records at Omaha, this season,
since March 1, has not been so
dry as the same period in 1910.
On August 2, 1910 the total de
ficiency in rainfall from March
1 was 13.60 inches, while in 1911
for the same period the deficiency
was but 10.07 inches.

New Postoffice Will Make Old
Building a More Valuable
Property.
A total of several thousand
dollars will be spent in remodel
ing the Egenberger building at the
northwest corner of Fifth and
Main streets, according to J. J.
Davey, an architect, and H. E.
Olson, a contractor, both . of
Omaha.
Steam heat will be put through
out the building, the interior will
be refaced and remodeled, the up
stairs will be fitted for office
rooms and the building made
modern generally. New side
walks will be put in around the
hnildinir and the three north
store rooms will be remodeled in
to one.

building more important for busi
ness than it is now, and the store
room next to the post office will
be a good business location. The
building is controlled by the Cas-
sel Realty company of Omaha, the
company that looks after the real
