It Was Doiiulu SelMI'efeniie.
Tlic littli' neighborhood of Andrews,
ten miles east of Harrison, Neb,, was
thi! scene f a tragedy when .lames
Forc,e shot and killed his neighbor,
Harvey ltussell. You tip Force, accom
panied by his father, went Immediate
ly to Harrison and gue himself up to
the sheriff, elaimlngself-dcfenso as the
cause of the shooting, to which there
wuh no witness. Then- was no wea
pon on Kusell's body when found later
by the coroner's jury.
For several months past there has
been bad blood between thes young
men, both of whom are about nineteen
jears old, and their families, growing
out of a controversy over a line of fence
separating their cattle ranges and built
by the Forces. Force claims that nt
a previous meeting Harvey and his
father, II. H. ltussell, threatened to
kill him.
Sunday the young men met on the
prairie with the result that ltussell
was killed. The only thing that Force
has to say Is that he did not know
ltussell was unarmed and feared that
the latter would attempt to carry out
his previous threat. What appears
very damaging to Force is that he shot
Ills victim three times, the last time
through the head, after ltussell had
fallen to the ground.
Young ltussell Is a brother of Chnrles
Russell, who is now serving a life sen
tence at Lincoln for the murder of
M. S. Taudemler about a year ago, and
members of the family are all feared
by their neighbors. Young Force has
also made some bad breaks before,
having drawn his gun on two different
men. Forced waived examination and
was held without ball.
MAY USE CONVICT LABOR
State Ilecclic No Ittda on Penitentiary
llullilliiKii.
Not a single bid was received by the
lward of public lands and buildings in
response to a request for contractors
to come forward nud tell how much
they wanted for constructing a new
administration building at the peni
tentiary. This rather bingular termi
nation is puzzling the board. Someone
suggested that the contractors were
too busy with other work to attempt
new jobs. A contractor who had fig
ured on the work said he knew no
contractor could do the work for the
appropriation of 875,000 which is avail
able, and for this reason no bids were
presented. The members of tho board
are considering the advisability of ask
ing for bids of material only. If this
is done convict labor will be used to
construct tho building. Governor
Dietrich recommended an appropria
tion exceeding 5100,000, but the legis
lature objected.
The board of purchase and supplies
has let the contract for furnishing
the new wing of the Lincoln hospital
forthe insane. An Omaha firm will
furnish the mattresses, tho A. M. Da
vis company of Lincoln will furnish
bedsteads, and the Itudge & Onenzel
company of Lincoln will furnish the
chairs.

At a meeting recentty the Omaha

so that any school teacher who mar;

the interest of economy in the high

slightly shortened to make up for the

COMMISSION INVESTIGATES
Helling or Good Abroad Cheaper than at
Home Looked Into,
The Industrial commission has decid
ed to make n very general inquiry by
means of circular letters into the
charge that exporters of American
made goods often sell them for lower
prices than arc asked for similar goods
at home, and a resolution has been
adopted requesting from the business
interests of the United States "a full
and frank statement covering the ef
forts made to extend consumption of
products to foreign markets." The
secretary of the commission was in
structed to prepare a letter to manu
facturers indicating tho Information
desired and asking, among other ques
tions, whether they sell their goods at
a lower price abroad than at home,and
if so, requesting them to give reasons
for this course. The letter also will
ask for suggestions for securing better
prices abroad for American goods.

the presence of the emperor anil em
press, Prince Herbert llismarek, Prince
Hohenlohe, the ministers and members
of the legislative houses and the me
morial committee. There was an Im
posing array of officers, otllclals,
veterans' associations, students, etc.,
aud an enormous gathering of people.
Emperor William inspected the guard
of honor and then took his place under
the Haldaehlu with the empress. A
thousand children sang In chorus and
Dr. Von Lcvctzow, conservative leader
of the relchstag delivered a brief eu
logistic address. Count von lluelow,
the Imperial chancellor then made a
speech as follows:
"Among the. whole German people
there Is no ono but know s that no ves
tige of the Iron chancellor's days upon
earth will disappear; thst the admira
tion and gratitude towards him will In
crease while German hearts beat, or
while German tlsts are clenched. His
marck's was a leonine nature. Upon
earth he stood amid the dust of battle.
Hattle brings with It just opposition,
unjust misunderstanding, honorable
enmity and blind hatred. When tho
dust Is dispersed, there remains only
the memory of unparalleled deeds and
of peerless personality."
Count von Heulow then clcquently
sketched Illsmarek's stupendous work
in establishing the empire, that aspir
ation of centuries for which tho nob
lest spirits had strlved In vain, and for
which a long array of martyrs In tho
German causo had fought and suffered.
MAN GOES CUNNING
Puts Three nutlets In Alleged Detractor
of Daughter.
There was a sensational shooting af
fray at Aurora, Nebraska, Monday af
ternoon between the hours of 4 and
S. Alf Downey, an old and respected
citizen of tho community, became, sud
denly and passionately enraged over a
personal matter,' at the bottom of
which, it is alleged, were some stories
menacing the reputation of his daugh
ter. He believed Walt Hlllis to be the
cause of the unfortunate gossip and,
arming himself with a IC'-caliber revol
ver, started in search of Hlllis. Ho
found him in front of Smith's barber
shop, and, walking within a few paces
of him, drew his revolver and legan
shooting. Hlllis sprang toward Dow
ney, and, after a momentary effort to
disarm him, during which another
shot was fired, he started on a run for
a neighboring pool hall, and there
found refuge. Five shots wcro tired,
one striking Hlllis in the hip and two
in the right arm, one of which carao
out at the elbow. A physician quick
ly removed the others and dressed tho
wounds, and Hlllis does not seem to bo
very seriously wounded at this time.
Mr. Downey was put under arrest and
quickly gave bond. Hillis Is able to
be about, and it is feared there may
be another collision between the men.

UvGovcrnor Plugiee died in London
Tuesday night ut ll:;i:. Ills son was
the only one present at the time. The
attending doctor left Mr. Filigree's
bedside at about 11:1,", promising to re
turn in a short time. II. S. Plugiee,
jr., who has been watching at his
father's side for four dajs, ami who
has not removed his clothing during
that time, noticed a sudden change.
He hail hardly reached the patient's
bedside when his father died peace
fully, without warning and without
speaking a word. Young Mr. Filigree
has wired his mother and his uncle in
the United States not to come to Lon
don. The body of the late Mr. Pingree
will be embalmed and taken to his
home.
The diagnosis made by Loudon spe
cialists of the cancerous affections of
the Intestines from which Mr. Plugrco
suffered, left practically no hope for
the patient's recovery.
Haen Scnter Pingree was born In
Denmark, Maine, in tSIO. In ImVJ he
enlisted In the First Massachusetts
heavy artillery and served until the
end of the war. when he located In
Detroit, embarking in the manufacture
of shoes.
In I MM the republican party nomi
nated ex-Governor Pingree for mayor
of Detroit and he was elected by over
-',000 majority. He was re-elected In
IMM-M-H.'i by Increased majorities each
time. In I Mill Mr. Pingree wus selected
as governor of Michigan by S3, 000 plu
rality, running ahead of the national
ticket by au.noo votes. He was re
elected governor In IMHH by about 10!),
000 plurality and served out his term
which expired In 1000. Last March he
started on a trip to South Africa which
resulted In his death In London.
Ex-Governor Pingree, while he was
major, accomplished many municipal
reforms, among others forcing the gas
company to lower their rates .10 cents
per 1,000; establishing the public light
ing plant: organizing the Detroit rail
way on a 3-cent fare basis; lowering
telephone rates and breaking up a
number of sewer and paving rings that
were thriving when became intootllec.
His potato patch scheme for the relief
of the poor of the city was extensively
copied and brought him much fame.
While governor Mr. Pingreo devoted
his energies toward securing a law tax
ing railroads and other cor)oratious on
an ad valorem basis instead of spe
cifically on their earniugs. Ills efforts
resulted in the pussage of a law along
these lines by the last legislature.
WILL ABOLISH CHILDLABOR
Agreement Keaehed by Spinner In Geor
gia Cotton Mill.
Child labor In the cotton mills of
Georgia has been doomed to abolition
by the spinners of that state, who have
been in session at Warm Spring for
a week. Having secured eighty-eight
signatures to the agreement, now they
declare that no child less than IS years
old shall work at night In any cotton
or woolen mill under any circumstances
and that no child less than Vi years old
shall be allowed to work therein at all,
unless such child has a widowed moth
er or physically disabled purent de
pendent for support upon its labor.
No child under 10 years of age shall be
permitted to work in any such mill ol
factory under any circumstances.
In addition the state legislature is
called on to provide long term schools
for the children thus thrown out of
work. This step is taken to head off
the work of lalsir agitators. The pur
pose of the millers Is to do away with
child labor altogether.

believed that Liilie would outgrow the
affliction. The swelling became very

an operation was performed and the
button found. Flesh had grown over

The university of Nebraska weather
bureau reports:
The past week has been cool with
heavy showers. The dally mean tem
perature has inenigcil two degree
above normal In the southeastern coun
ties and two degrees below normal in
the northern and western.
The rainfall was much above normal
In all except a few eastern counties.
In a large portion of the central and
western counties the rainfall ranged
from two to live Inches.
The heavy showers of the past week
were sufficiently general to cause a de
cided Improvement in crop conditions,
although in some small areas the rain
full was Insitllleli'iit for crop needs.
Winter wheat has 'loiitlnued to Im
prove, and in most pluccn Is filling
well; In the southeastern counties It Is
beginning to ripen. Oats have grown
well, but are heading very short. Corn
has grown slowly, but rather better
than the preceding weeks this year;
the stand Is good, and the crop Is quite
free from weeds. The heavy rain in
the northern and western counties .has
placed the ranges In exceptionally fine
condition aud makes probable a large
hay crop In those counties. The first
crop of alfalfa Is nearly all In the stack
in southern counties, a good crop, se
cured in prime condition. In the cen
tral and western counties considerable!
alfalfa was damaged by rain,
Cherries are a large crop; apples

KEARNEY MILL TO CLOSE
Owner of Cotton Pitctory lire Compelled
to Cenko Operation.
Ithns been decided by the owner
to close the Kearney, Neb., cotton
mill, For some time past, particularly
since the closing of the Asiatic market
occasioned by the Chinese war, the
mill has been operated at a loss. The
Kearney mill was a direct shipper of
special grades of cotton goods to China.
The building of nearly '.'00 mills dur
ing the last year, more than three
fourths of them lu the south, has over
stocked the sheeting market aud It Is
understood there Is now more than a
year's supply of manufactured goods In
storage In this country. The high
price of cotton has made It Impossible
to manufacture without a loss. East
ern Investors hold mortgage bonds for
800,000 borrowed to use as working
capital. The mortgage Is In process
of foreclosure and a decree Is expected
within thirty days.
The mill will then be sold. It Is not
improbable that the present owners
will buy the property aud reorganize,
but at this time it is not possible to
say whether the mill will lie operated
again or not. Considering the hard
competition and the. condition of the
cotton goods trade the outlook is not
encouraging. There have been various
rumors regarding the purchase of tho
property by other Interests nnd tho use
of the water power and building for
other purposes, but these cannot be
traced to a reliable source.
