KEHEAR8AL OF CRIME.
Ummr BJaipU Act Within tbc Law
Which Are Overlooked.
Many people who have u-ver been ac
Tuseduf wronydolutc ud who live strict
ly "within the law" often make tueui
selves liable to tine and itupriitouiueut,
and are not puuixued only because th
laws nre not euforceJ. The muu who
KtumlM before bin window, where be can
be eeu from the street, to adjust hi
collar or uecktie, ur to get a better 1 iytit
ojj a collar button, commits a niisde
uieanor for which lie may be fined or
uuy be luiprisourd.
It 1 all right to be kind to the dog,

To expectorate on the floor of the car U
also a misdemeanor.
Another "crime'' i that of waving a
11 air. It doe not matter in the least
what the Hug way be, you must not
wave It lu public or you will make your

To play without a license any musical
Instrument on the atreet is another un
safe practice, the danger of which ia
quite unappreciated.
Everybody knows the familiar "Keep
off the grams" signs of many parks, but
It is probably not known that in some
places the remarkably severe punish
ment of ten days in jail or a $10 line
may be Inflicted on the offender. An
other luw, which is not, however, with
out some necessity, Is that threatening
the muu who throws bunana skins on
the street. In New York city he is lia
ble to a $o Hue or ten days In prison.
To engage In a lottery, however simple
and harmless, or to play any gambling
grime, such as a friendly game of poker
on the train or boat, is punishable with

Mrs. Morse was a truthful woman
with nothing to conceal, so when she
was asked, on the witness stand, to tell
what she did on a certain day between
the hours of seven and ulue In the morn
ing, she responded without a truce of
reluctance:
"First I helped little Jim get dressed,
for he never ran manage It alone. Then
I ran downstairs aud made the griddle
cakes, aud saw to Mr. Morse's coffee,
and carried up Hubert aud Dorothy for
fear they'd be late to school, and ate an
orange and some toast and a boiled egg
I remember It was boiled too bard.
Bridget hasn't learned the right time
yet and theu our minister's wife came
over to get me to help her cut out a
coat for the baby, tod theu I dotted the
parlor, aud made five beds, and
straightened up tbe rooms, and mended
three of Mr. Morse's shirts, and pressed
out some neckties, and did a little darn
ing. And I'd Just got tbe pudding made
and was beginning on some ginger
cookies when I heard that cry that star
tled the whole neighborhood. Now I
wonder If I've forgotten anything."
Hut the judge, who, previous to her
recital, had wondered whether Mrs.
Morse had not been In a position to set
more of tbe catastrophe than she
seemed to admit, pressed his band to
bis forehead with a dazed look.

GEO. B. COKTELYOU
Secretary to the President
Indianapolis, led., Sept. 24. Presi
dent Roosevelt's western trip came to
an untimely end Id this city Tuesday.
He was found to be suffering from a
swelling is tbe left leg between the
We and tbe ankle that required im
mediate surgical attention, and, in
stead of being taken to the train to
continue his Journey to Fort Wayne
and Milwaukee, he was conveyed to St.
Vincent's hospital; where be was op
crated on. The operation occurred at
3:45 o'clock, and lasted only a short
time, when be was taken to a private
room In tbe hospital to rest.
After taking a light luncheon at
7:50 p. m., be was conveyed on a
stretcher to his train, which had been
backed up to the "Y" near tbe hos
pital, and at ten minutes to eight
o'clock tbe train left for Washington.
The first intimation that anything
was wrong came In tbe form of rumors
to tbe great crowd that was patiently
waiting around tbe Columbiaclub and
the soldiers and sailors monument for
the president to appear.
It was about 2:30 o'clock, half an
hour after the time set for the presi
dent to leave tbe city, that a few of
;the favored ones in the crowd received
lintimations that tbe president was
(Hick and that tbe reatof the trip would
probably be abandoned. These state
ments were as promptly denied as fast
as tbey gained currency, but soon tbe
rumors began to take on a more seri
ous character.
"The president has burst a blood
vessel," was a whisper that went
arouni among the police officers and
soldiers.
"This cannot be true," said others,
"for tbe president is In the corridor
conversing with Senator Fairbanks. "
Then it was said that the president
was sick, I that be bad fainted, and
finally a rumor was started tbat be
had been shot.
These rumors however, did not ap
pear to reach the crowd, and the
thousands stood patiently after the
speech by the president from tbe bal
cony to see him make his way out of
the club. Tbe minutes began to fly
away, and still he did not come. A
naif hour or more passed and Anally
It was noticed tbat a movement of
some kind was on.
Tbe president's carriage stood in
front of the entrance of tbe club, with
Colonel Wilson, the governor's pri
vate secretary Inside holding the
large bunch of American beauty roses
tnat had been given tbe president In
the hall.

sion called out tbe Are department.
Tbe affair is envolved in some mys
tery. The proprietor gave a banquet
last night in honor of his wife, who
had just returned from Germany, aud
McKle was a guest. McKie had
boarded at the hotel four years and
had been treated as a member of the
Brand family, which includes a
daughter, Sophie, with whom McKle
was said to be in love. Brand denies
that there was aoy understanding be
tween the two. McKie remarked last

bis old home in Philadelphia. Mis.
Biand and ber daughter returned

sticks and parts of two or three bro
ken sticks, together with a box of
caps and a quantity of wire for long
distance explosions. lie had at least
nine sticks of dynamite lu his pos

AGED MAN KILLS HIMSELF.
Fred Hoffman, or North Head, Blow Hit
Had Off.
North Bend, Nab., Sept. 26. Citi
zens of this place were horrified yes
terday morning to learn of tbe death
of rd Hoffman, aged sixty-two
years, by bis own band. Hoffman
blew off the top of his bead with a
shotgun last evening and his body
was found tbis mcrning lying in a
room of tbe shack which be occupied
alone in the southern edge of town.
Mrs Howard, who lived near by,
beard the r port of a gun about 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon. She
feared that Hoffman bad committed
suicide, as he bad told a number of
people tbat be was tired of living.
When her husband came home she
asked him to iovesigate, but be said
tbe shot was probably fired by some
one hunting rabbits aud paid no at
tention to bis wife's apprehensic n.
This morning she sent ber ten-year-old
son to Hoffman's house to see if
he was there. The boy knocked, but
there was no response. He went
back to his mother and she caused
some of the meg tabors to go to the
place and break open the door. They
found tbe remains of Hoffman lying
In a corner of the room with the top
of bis head above tbe ears entirely
blown away.
A shotgun lying near by told tbe
story of the self-destruction. The
sight which met tbe eyes of tbe
party as they entered tbe room was
a most sickeuing one. The brains
of tbe dead man had fallen into a
pan and looked as though they had
been taken out and laid there. Blood
and particles of flesh and brain were
scattered on a sofa and the walls and
floor of the room. A stream of blood
bad flowed the entire length of the
room, leaving pools here and there.
The dead man had carefully fasten
ed all the doors of the house before
killing himself. He left a letter ad
dressed to his children, which read
as follows:
"North Bend, Neb., Sept. 24.-
Dear children Dou't let the county
bury me. Bury me as cheap as you
can. I have worked hard all my life
and can't work any more. God will
help you remember me when this you
see, so good bye. F. Hoffman."
Be'ow the letter on tbe same page
was written "Send the Gorey Bros.
They will do something to help me."
Hoffman had a wife and nine chil
dren, five of whom are married, but
be had become estranged from them
some years ago. He lived tbe life of a
bachelor, cooking his own meals and
doing his own housework. Four
weeks ago he was taken ill and two
weeks ago he was sent to the Fre
mont hospital. After remaining
there one day and night be was re
moved to the county poor house.
Last week he was allowed to come
tack to North Bend by consent of
the board of supervisors.
Sheriff Kreader and Coroner Brown
arrived here on a morning train in
response to a summons by telephone
and held an inquest over the remains.
Only four witnesses were examined
and the case was clearly shown to be
one of suicide. Hoffman had told sev
eral of his neighbors that they
need not be surprised to find bim at
any time with bis toes turned up, as
be was tired of living in tbe way be
was.
The jury, cf which J. J. Kelser
was foreman, reached a verdict of
death by. suicide.
Butterfleld Much Better.
Falrbury, Neb., Sept. 26. Consta
ble Tom Butterlicld, who was shot
by William Spraggins at Daykin last
Saturday night, is still alive and ex
hibiting very promising sypmtoms.
County Attorney O. H. Denney and
County Judge C. C. Boyle went to
Daykin last night to secure tbe in
jured man's signature to a complaint
against Spraggins, and found tbe
constable in excellent spirits. His
physicians say, barring unforseen
complications, be willl recover.
Tbe complaint against Spraggins
charges "assault with intent to do
great bodily barm."
While some dissatisfaction is ei-
f reesed that the charge did not spec
fy an "intent to kllP' tbe mildness
or the complaint is accounted for In
the fact tbat tbe penalty is precisely
the same in either case, and In an-
ordinary court it would be much
easier to prove tbe former than tbe
latter charge.
The prisoner is a man about thirty
years of age, and has a wife and two
children, it is said ne Das a most
ungovernable temper, and Saturday
night's shunting was but the out
growth of a melee that started some
ten days ago, when a man by the
name or Black got tbe better of him
In a fistic encounter. He had
marched two of Black's brothers
home at tbe point of a shotgun and
was looking for Hiaek with the
avowed Intention of killing him, when
he met tne constable.
