The Kearney Hub gives tile fol
lowing account of th« murder of N.
P. Bliss of Buffalo county by his
neighbor Wm Turley, on Sunday
March 22:
“Both men lived on farm9 about
three and one half miles north of
Sheiton, Turley having moved onto
the farm of James Barnhart, Satur
day, where was taking care of some
hogs belonging to the latter. It is
said by neighbors that these hogs
had been in the habit of getting out
and trespa9siug on the land of neigh
bors and destroying corn, which was
piled on the ground.
“Sunday morning they got out
again and went onto Mr. Bliss’ farm,
which is in Hall county. The owner
of the place went out with his four
teen-year-old son and carried a pitch
fork. Finding the pigs in the corn,
two of them were (tilled, and father
and son started for home. They had
not gone far when Turley and his
son, who is twelve years old, came
across the field toward them and
when twenty lour feet distant,Turley,
who carried a shot gun, took a shot
at Bliss. The latter turned, and, fac
ing the man with the gun, said: “Fc r
God’s sake, don’t shoot again".
“Turlev fired again, the full charge
of shot taking effect in Bliss' breast.
He took the shells from bis gun and
reloaded, when the Bliss boy, seeing
that bis father had been killed, began
to cry, Turley then said, “Yon stop
crying or you will get shot, too". He
tlu»& went to his houua, saddled a
horse and rode to Shelton, where he
gave himself up.
“The above is the story of the
tragedy told by Bliss’ son. To a Hub
reporter Turley stated that he had
killed Bliss in self defense. He stat
ed that he and his son bad started
out to bunt the bogs which had got
ten out. He discovered that Bliss
had killed three of them, and said to
the latter, “Whose bogR have you
been killing?” Bliss replied that he
did not know, then a quarrel ensued.
Turley says that Bliss made for him
with his pitchfork, and he thes shot.
This did not stop the assailant and
he shot again, striking him in the
breast. He did not go to see his
victim to see how badly he was
wounded, but went, home, got his
horse and rode to Shelton and gave
himself up.
“The jury found that Bliss had
come to bis death at the hands of
Timothy Turley, and that the killing
was willful and felonious.”
LINCOLN LETTISH.
Lincoln, Neb., March 30, 11)03,
Ei>. Northwestern:
At last the time has been set lor
the adjournment to take place which
is April 7th. This means there is to
be plenty of time given to scanning
the appropriation bills which are
very large. Over $4,000,000 were
asked for. and the house allowed
$3,800,000; but even this seems
enormous when two years ago the
amount was $2,875,280 51. How
ever, the finance committee of the
senate has determined to materially
cut down the amount, as allowed by
the house, to somewhere in the vicin
ity of $3,000,000. This certainly
will provide very liberally for all
our state institutions as they should
be iu this land of plenty, prosperity
and republicanism.
The revenue bill which will be
finished this week by being signed
by the governor will produce sulli
e.ient revenue to maiutain all our
institutions besides laying aside
nearly tour hundred thousand dollars
per year with which to wipe out
slate indebtedness to be brought
■ about in the course of four years
j after the la w begins to be in oper
ation. List year the assessed val
I cation of property in the state was
returned as #18U,000,000, and the
emtiniir of the production of as
-e>-cii property under the new reve
nue bill is front three hundred to
live hundred mdli tu dollars. The
following suction of the Revenue
bill describes me plan in full:
Section l'S4 reads: "The state
board shall determine the amount
of all taxes required for state pur
poses, and the rate of taxation upon
all property in the state necessary
10 raise the same, and make the
levy of such taxes throughout the
slate. The rate of the general state
tax shall lie sulfloient to realize the
amount (necessary to meet appro
prialious made In the legislature fur
the year in which the tax is levied,
and an additional sum not exceeding
twenty per cent of the amount of any
existing stale indebtedness, and not
exceeding m all five mills on the
dollar valuation. The rate of the
state school tax shall be not less
than one half mill nor more than one
and one-half mill ou the dollar val-.
nation."
The bill provides that the state
lew shall be five mills so that with
a $:H)0,U00,Q0U. assessment valua
lion the increase to the state would
be $1,500,000 and with n $500,000
000. assessment the increase would
be $2,500,000 per annum.
The llamsy bill, known as the
‘ farmers elevator bill ’ is now in the
hands of the senate and will pro
bably become a law this week as
the emergency clause is attached.
The pure food bills have passed
the senate. On these bills Judge
Wall, who introduced them, made a
grand light. All the wholesalers and
jobbers of t he state bad a big lobby
at the capitol for the past two weeks,
trying to defeat them. The corpor
ation senators on the lloor were lined
up against the bills, and only through
the strong personal efforts and logic
al arguments of the judge were they
passed, and then only b\ a majority
of one.
All bills on general Die are now in
the lian ls of the sifting committees
of the two houses, and must neces
sarily show some, merit or they will
never get to the committee of the
whole. It will require two or three
days <>f hard work for the claims
and finance committees before they
will be aide to report the genera! ap
propriation bills back to the senate,
and they will probably be held in
committee of the whole three or four
da\s, so it is safe to say it will re
quire much hard work on the part of
"the Senate"tb tic itfcJv for adjotirn
ment'on the 7th Noryu.
Loup city lluptUt Sunday School Notes.
A cordial Invitation is given to all
non-attendants of the Sunday school to
come and j >in us in the good work.
The weekly prayer meeting of the
church is held at ibe church every
Wednesday evening. Listen for the
ringing of the bell and come with us.
Last Sunday was review day with us,
and a very instructive and Interesting
review was given to the whole school,
united into one class, the review being
conducted by Mrs. Ed Angier.
In spice of ttio bad roads nearly tifty
responded to the roil call 1 tst Sunday.
Among the number we noticed three
new scholars There has been quite a
number of additions to the school dur
ing the last three months.
One of the many features of the work
done at this scho *1 is the bible drill con
ducted by Mrs. Ed Ancier. Tuls is a
feature which should b>‘ in every Sunday
school, as through the drill the scholar
learns the different books and their lo
onion in the bible, hereby makiug it
easy for him to turn promptly to any
book and find the passage or verse
wanted. It also teaches the names of
the noted characters of the bible—the
times in which they lived and the work
they were called upon to do—and teach
er in such a way that the scholar will
not easily forget, and a complete course
in the drill will leave the scholar well
versed In the good book . 7

SKVKKK ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Uottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"When I had an attack of the grip last
winter (the second one) I actually cured
myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy”, says Frank W. Perry, ed
itor of the Enterprise, Bhortsville, N. Y.
“This is the honest truth. I at times kept
from coughing myself to pieces by taking a
teaspoonful of tbls remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night I
would take a dose and it seemed that in the
briefest Interval the cough would pass off
unit I would go to Rleep perfectly free from
cougli and Its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most agreeable
surprise Is putting It very mildly. I had no
idea that it would or could knock oat the
grip, simply because I had never tried It
for such a purpose, but it did, and it teemed
with the second attack of coughing the
remedy caused It to not only be of lees du
ration, but the pains were far less severe,
and I had not need the contents of one hot
tie before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu.'' For
