store, bought a fatal poison, went to
his office and locked himself in. A few
hours later he was found dead, and on

on seeing a man take poison and dying
before their very eyes before they will
declare it a case of suicide?

AN EXPLANATION
Will Maupin's Weekly reprints in this
issue the paper on "Nebraska as it should
be known," read by the editor at the Ne
braska Press Association convention in
Omaha last week. This is done because
the edition of last week containing the
address has been exhausted, and hundreds
of requests for copies of the address have
been received. A thousand copies of the
address were printed in pamphlet form,
and these are all spoken for and are be
ing mailed out.
"That article is a classic, and it should
be circulated by the million," said Court
land Smith of New York, vice president
and general manager of the American
Press Association.
"Nebraska would profit imineusely by
having that address reproduced through
out the country," said Rome Miller of
Omaha. :
"A wonderfully impressive way of put
ting the facts about our state before the
world," said Dan V. Stephens of Fremont.
"We think so much of the value to Ne
braska of your address that we will re
produce it in our readyprints for every
Nebraska newspaper that we serve," said
II. II. Fish, general manager of the West
ern Newspaper Union. .
These and scores of similar comments,
together with the pleasing demand for the
address, is our excuse for again printing
it in these columns.
