Andrew Carnegie told a story on him
self the other day. lie said, some years
ago he wanted to cross a mountain In
Pennsylvania, and a youngster of
ruther hardy appearance offered tj
take him over for "jO cents. Carnegie
thought the price too great, and tjld
the boy lie would pay him only 2."j Ct'ittri.
AftiT a long urgumeiit, In which each
stuck to his price, the youngster won
out, and Mr. Carnegie says he allowed
the lad to colh-ct the 5 cents, not be
cause the trip whs worth It, but because
he hud to get on the other side of the
in iiinlain. "I predicted thut tbe boy
would some day make a fortuue," an d
Mr. Carnegie, "and he bus. Ills name
Is Charles M. Schwab." The foregoing
is a yarn from the New York Sun, pub
lished to show the early characteristics
of men who atlain to million-dollar sal
aries. It shows something else, too a
principle. It was appropriate that Car
negie and .Schwab should be the char
acters of the story, for they both repre
sent what Is called success enormous
wealth achieved on the line of that
principle or personal policy. It Is this
principle, or policy, that curses the na
tion, and humanity at large. It la the
great producer of paupers and thieves.
It has Clli-d prisons, lunatic asylums,
poorbouses and graves without numln.-r.
And to hold this story of Schwab's buc
cess up for the emulation of youth is
to encourage robbery, selfishness, inhu
manity and generul meanness. It is a
policy through following which men's
souls Income weazened, their lives a
mere apology for existence, their leav
ing this world a common blessing to
their fiJIovv creatures. Get jour fel
low mail In a corner and then skin him
for all he's worth. This Is the principle.
The young man who starts with thid
aim, perseveres und has the opportuni
ties, will some day be able to till as
mauy poorbouses and libraries as can
Carnegie and Schwab. These two had
the opportunities and were remarka
bly adept at tbe skinning. Carnegie
had to go over that mountain. Young
Schwab had him at a disadvantage
and skinned him. Carnegie at once
foretold a brIUlant future for the boy
who would charge 00 per cent bold-np
for what the other follow had to have.
What a travesty on Christianity and
civillzaliou to hold up as models of suc
cess men who make such principles their
life principles. Better go through life
glviug full value received and wind up
a moderate success, than to step oil
Into eternity with an unbroken rec
ord in the matter of taking unfair ad
vantage or your fellows. Eternity Is
a long while, and, so far as there Is
any evidence, It is to the effect that
the opportunities over there are very
Impartially distributed.

Killed By a Woman.
Buffalo, N. Y., March 21. -Superintendent
of Police Hull said today
that his opinion as to who killed Ed
win L. Durdick had not been chang
ed at any time since the murder.
"I believe a woman killed Purdick"
he declared, "and I suspect the same
woman now that I did the day of
the murder. I believe Mr. Cusack
and the district attorney are of quite
the same opinion."
The foregoing statement was made
by the superintendent In an Inter
view denying a published reportutcb
quoted hkn as saying:
"It looks more like Pennell's job
than at any time since the murder."
Former District Attorney Thomas
Penney said loday:
"Not a dollar of Mr. Pennell's life
insurance will go to Mrs. Iiurdick."
Mr, Penney made this statement
in view of the publication of a re
port that only $25,000 of tlie enor
mous insurance carried by Mr. Pen
;nell was made payable to his estate.
The circumstances have given rlue to
surmises that Mrs. Hurdick might be
,'the chief bcnellciary.
', The general manager of a New
York insurance company, confirmed
the statement of Mr. Penncll. "Mr.
Penneli has $30 000 life insurance in
our company," he .said, "and this is
'made payable to his estate. From
all I have heard I believe that the
'rest of his life insurance will be found
to be payable to his estate or to his
family.'
The Stranger Died Alone.
Grand Island, Neb., March 21. At

bod? of a neat appearing man was
found in bis room at the Union res
taurant. The man had come to the
Testaurant late last night. At 9
,'o'clock this morning a chambermaid
about to make the room noticed a
man in bed. and presumed he was
sleeping. Late this afternoon the
maid went to the room and noticed
that the man was in exactly the
same position. An Investigation
proved that he was flead.
In a letter written to "My dear
wife" and addressed to Mrs. O. L.

a fall and hurt his side, but expected
he would be better In the morning.
He is believed lo be a liveryman

Beatrice, Neb., March 21 Br D.
A. Walden returned tonight from
Iloag. where he had an autopsy on
the remains of Paul Schindler, who
was f und dead there last night.
Coroner Walden considered the cir
cumstances very suspicious. The
opening was laruer than would be
made by a 22 ralibar bullet, the rllle
did not, appear lo have been used and
It was lying under the foot 1 the
bed covered with a blanket. Schlnd

way outside. The range of the bullet
was almost directly downward from
the left shoulder, piercing the lungs
and heart. The celling of the shanty
where he lived Is so low that no one
of his height could bold the rifle In
the position nceeemary to inflict such
a wound. The head of the bed was
flush with the door.
Dr. Walden, sr. .said that he was
unable to find the bullet, that he re
moved everylhliiK from the viscera
and searched and re-scarchod but no

Papeete, March 4 (via Sao Fran
cisco) March 18. The latest intelli
gence relative to tbe hurricane in
Tuamotu. or Lower Archipelago, In
dicates that the fatalities will num
ber 800. The loss of property will be
one-half million dollars. Itelief meas
ures have been instituted.
The hurricane and high water last
ed during January 14, 15 and 16. At
Uikuera, 377 deaths occurred, in
most Instances among visitors from
Other islands who were there during
the diving season. One hundred and
forty-two deaths are reported from
six other small islands.
On the awful night of January 15,
when in the darkness and a driving
tlwnrxiir of rain that stung their
faces andTiaked bodies, the parents
tied their little children to their
backs and sought safety. Over their
beads rolled the mighty wave, and
ivben the surges retreated tbe infants
md half drowned boys and girls
luccumbed. The father and mother
would vainly endeavor to retain the
:orpses of their dead, and at length
bad to abandon them. They tied
heniselves to cocoanut trees, and
tome at last fell with them. Others
tscaped, clinging to trees temporarily
ind at other times able to catch hold
)f something else, and so between
the breakers reached safety after
many hours of hardship.
Messrs. Chedleld and Allen, elders
)f the Mormon church, and Mr. and
Mrs. Gilbert, of the Latter Day
Saints' mission, in a report to the
United States consul give grewsotno
ietalls of the disaster. The Gilberts
ost. one shelter when a cocoanut tree
lull, but secured another in a high
itump uf a booran tree.
The water, which had all but sub-
tierged them completely, now only
eached their feet. The wind threat-
inedto tear them from their position
tgain and again, and so these Amer-
ans passed that awful night. In the
Doming the scene of horror that met
ihelr eyes on every side was harder
io nlure than the terrors of the
nigh'. Corpses.frightfully mutilated,
ivere strewn about, and there were
Jving beings with unsightly wounds,
n some instances only one of a fam
ily survived.
The story of fatality in Morakau,
alncty-tive out of a hundred inhabi
lants perished, is likewise extremely
id, and so also with regard to the
ither islands where death occurred.
U is likely that one-fifth of the en
lire population of the Tuamotu group
luccumbed. To aid the injured a
iemporary bosiptal was constructed
ind D. Urunati, acting administra
tor of the group rendered medical aid.

whole, the order was commendable.
It is to the lasting credit of tbe
Americans that the first relief from
thirst came from them in the sug
g ,'sLiou to distill water. The French
administrator was at first skeptical,
but finally allowed' them to proceed
with their experiment.
After a long search Mr. Gilbert's
party secured two tanks and some
frames of an iron bed for tubes, and
erected a plant. With this primitive
machinery 200 gallons of fresh water
were distilled dally for some time.

FOR THE FARMERS
Elevstor Site BUI Will Pass Both Houses-1
House Approves s Measurs
Lincoln, Neb., March 18 .The
legislature Tuesday did some impor
tant wotk, showing that It intends
to pass a bill to require railroads to
give the privileges desired by farmers'
elevator companies. It forestalled
the senate which was to act on a bill
of the same nature introduced by a
populist member, Senator Brady of
Boone, and took up tbe bill intro
duced by Representative Ramsey.
Early in the session it was apparent
that a bill of this character would
bs passed. The elevator combine
has kept men constantly on the scene,;
but those wbo sought to bead off thei
bill ran up against a stono wall. Pe
titions and requests came to the
members every day for such legisla
tion. No member was able to go to
his home without hearing of the de
sire of the people. The railroads long
ago decided to keep their hands off.
In fact they have troubles of their
own of a more serious nature. It is
believed that the railroads would be
glad to escape from the continual at
tempted dictation of the elevator
trust and this bill will make escape
possible.
The house by almost unanimous
vote agreed to the Ramsey elevator
bill, II. R. No. 70, in committee of
the whole. The original bill was
substituted for the committee amend
ment and the provision was added
that elevators to be built undei
the act must represent an investmert
of 2,000
The two important sections of the
i bill as agreed upon and as it will pass
tbe house, are as follows:
"Sections 1 of article 5, chapter 72,
of the compiled statutes of Nebraska,
is amended as follows:
Sec. 1. Every railroad corpora
tion shall give to all persons and as
sociations reasonable and equal
terms for transportation of any mer
chandise or other property of everj
kind and description, upon any rail
road owned or operated by such corpo
ration within this state and for ter
minal handling, the use of the depot
and other buildings and grounds of
such corporation, and at any point
where its railroad shall connect with
any other railroad, reasonable and
eiual terms and facilities of inter
change and shall promptly forward
merchandise consigned or directed to
be sent over another road connecting
with lis road according to the direc
tions therein or accomp:.ying the
same; and every railroad company or
corporation operating a railroad li
the state of Nebraska shall afford
equal facilities to all persons or asso
ciations wbo desire to erect or operate
or who are engaged in operating grain
elevatorsor in handling or shipping
grain at or contiguous to any sta
tion of its road and shall supply sidt
t acks and switch connections a
shall supply cars and all facilities for
erecting elevators and for handling
and shipping grain to all persons so
electing or operating such elevate t
or handling and shipping grain with
out favoritism or discrimination ir
any respect whatever. Provided how
ever, that any elevator hereafter cor .
structed, the construction of whicl
shall cost not less than $2,00v.
The standing committee amend
ment to II. R. No. 70, which waj
turned down, is as follows;
"Section 1. Every railroad corpo
ration shall give to all persons and
associations reasonable and equa
terms for tbe transferring of any mer
chandise or other property of even
kind and description upon any rail
road owned or operated by such cor
poratiou within this state, and every
railroad company or corporation
operating a railroad in the state ol
Nebraska shall afford equal faclli'et
to all persons or associations the
may erect and operate grain elec
tors at any station of its road and
shall supply side tracks, switch con
nections cars and all facilities foi
erecting and operating such elevat- rs
without favoritism or discrimination
1 1 any respect whatever. Provided
however, that this act shall not ap
ply to any elevator hereafter to be
constructed the cost of the construc
tion of which shall bo less than
M.000."
