Cain, a holder of large real cstato Interests In and around Newman Grove, lies dead at his home, In tho eastern part of town, the result of his own rash act. Last Monday night, about 8 ' lock, ho came down town, having promised his family that ho would meet them at church, vhero revival services wero being held. Ho had passed tho church two blocks, and was in tho heart of tho business section, at tho Intersection of Fremont and Hale streets, when ho raised his right hand with a 38-callbro revolver and sent a bullet Into his head. A few seconds elapsed and the shot was repeated The few people who wero on tho street wero attracted by tho first shot, but could not locate tho direc tion on account of tho echo. When the second shot occurred tho roan was seen to stagger and fall, and beforo any of those nearest could reach him, he, with his left hand bracing his body In a Bitting posture, fired two more shots in quick succession, only oc? of which probably took effect, Tho man was picked up for dead and carried to Anderson's drug store. Physicians wero summoned and two of tho bullets extracted, after which ho w'as carried to his home, whero he partially regained consciousness, enough to recognlzo the members of Ills family, but from tho time he fired tho first shot until ho expired he ut tered no sound, not even a groan. Ho lived fifty-four hours after inflicting the mortal wound, dying this morning. Any of tho three Bhots that entered his head was sufficient to cause death. Tho third bullet was extracted ysster day morning by trephining, the opera tion being done by Drs. Frink and McMahon, the ball being removed from the opposite side of the head from whero It entered. Mr. Cain Btood well in thiB com ' munlty, was a prominent church and Sunday school worker, ardent in poli tics and temperanco, a leader In fra ternal societies, having membership in tho I. O. O.

Lightning Itod Sharper Are Actively at Work, Several of tho farmers of Pralrlo View neighborhood, near Phllllpsburg, Kan., have been caught for vnrlotia amounts by lightning rod swindlers. Agent number ouo enmo along, se cured tho order and drove on; agent two rodded the house; agent three got tho note and drove along to tho home of the next victim. After securing the notes, they were sold ns Hoon as possi ble to an "Innocent purchasor" whom the company probably already had In view. Ono of these notes became duo last week and was sent to one of the banks for collection. Tho bank In turn gave It to nn attorney to present for pay ment and the attorney, who is some 'thlng of a hustler as a collector, drove 'out to tho west part of tho county to find the party whoso paper ho desired to exchange for cash. Ho found his man all right and ex plained the nature of his business. At first the mnkcr of tho noto professed Ignorance of tho existence of Bitch n piece of paper, finally asking permis sion to see It. Of eotirso tho collector went down In his overcoat pocket and produced the note, which was genuine all right, with the man's slgnaturo Btlcklng out upon It In fair handwrit ing. As Boon ns tho fellow got hold of tho noto ho turned and ran away from the collector, leaving him sitting In tho buggy holding tho lines. He hallowed at tho fleeing Individual, but the possessor of tho valuable piece of paper only ran the faster and waa put ting as much alfalfa ground as posslblo between himself nnd tho party who had lately held the note. Finally the attorney caught up with the farmer. Tho man made an ex planation Baying that ho thought the nttorncy was the fourth ono of thoso lightning rod sharpers, and ho did not care about meeting any more of them. Tho lawyer with some dlfllculty mado himself understood. Of course tho noto will have to be paid. It is said that there aro several otner notes for largo sums In the banks of this city which will soon become due. BARELY ESCAPES DEATH.

A startling revelation has Just come to light In regard to Chas-a-nin-gah, tho famous old Omaha Indian chief, who died at his home on tho reserva tion north of Decatur, Neb., about a week ago.

An under taker was sent for and he discovered Indications of life. Tho undertaker went to work upon the man and in a short time ho revived. The family was astonished and looked upon lao feat as a miracle, and believe the father and husband had been called back to llfo by tho Great Spirit for some holy cause unknown to them. But for tho acuteness of Mr. Morley, tho undertaker, Chas-a-nln-gah might have been buried alive. Tho resusticatlon was of no consequence, however, for the old man lingered only about four moro days.

ALMA HAS A GHOST. lllnck (liirbcd Apparition Parades the Street ut Night. The peace of mlnu of the pcoplo of Alma, Neb., has been rudely disturbed during tho past threo weeks or moro and nil because of r. ghost. Not the customary white apparelled specter of fiction and precedent, but a black garbed apparition. The story Is vouched for by half n dozen of tho best men of tho place, men whoso standing and Btipposrd freedom from superstition would naturaly class them among tho doubters. But they doubt no more. Tho hcrolno of tho talc Is n woman, a ghost, who chooses to violate all su pernatural precedents by apparelling herself in black from head to foot. This may sound like a piece of lift Ion, but It isn't safe to take this attitude when talking with nn Alma man. Al most everybody believes (Irmly In tho apparition because most everybody has seen It. Some havo sought to capturo it, but have failed dismally. When It is pursued the ghost runs. When its pursuer turns tall, ho be comes In turn tho pursued. Several havo played In both roles, and just nt present tho ghost Is permitted to roam unmolested, it has sought to harm no ono or annoy any especial person. Its favorlto pastime seems to be to dart from Bomo dark alley or shadowy cor ner and rush like the wind past Bomo lone, belated pedestrian. At ten paces or bo beyond him tho specter dlsap pears, vanishes Into thin air. That Is the psychological moment for the hair to rise. It hasn't failed yet. Several well known citizens vouch for the truth of these tales. RIOTING SOLDIERS. Ono Han Killed nnd Fifteen Other Wounded In Shooting Scrape. In a riot at Fort Morgan, Alabama, between soldiers stationed there. Michael Kuchn, a discharged man, whose home is in Milwaukee, was killed and ten or fifteen others wero wounded in tho shooting and cutting which was goneral for a time.

The fight began upon a sergeant named Flnnlgan, his asallants being "rookies," or nowiy enlisted men. Kuehn attempted to protect Flnnlgan, but presently threw up his hands and exclaimed. "My-God! I am killed." Ho died In a few minutes. Ho was found to have received a knife wound at the base of tho brain. Prompt ac tion on the part of tho officers of tho garrison prevented the lynching of Stewart. Kuehn's body was brought to Mobile and will bo shipped home. About fifty Boldlers were drinking at a saloon called "Tho Blue Goose," on the outside of the reservation when the fight started. WILL SOON RETIRE Pension Comnilmloner Kvani to be Pro vided With Another Position. There is no longer any doubt that Pension Commissioner Evans will, within tho next few months, at tho latest, sever his connection with the pension bureau, to accept from tho president a position which will bo a substantial promotion, but which has not yet been definitely selected. It Is well known that Mr. Evans has the entire confidence of the president and the latter will not consider the ques tion of his retirement until a position entirely satisfactory to tho commis sioner has been provided. No decision has been reached concerning a suc cessor to Mr. Evans, nor will any ac tion bo taken until the president is thoroughly convinced that ho has found a man of tho samo, character and sterling worth possessed by the present commissioner in bo high a degree Office doing Hedging. .Ecph H. Manley of Augusta, Me., the Maine member of the republican national committee, Is being pressed by the administration to accept the office of first assistant postmaster gen eral. Though not finally determined, it is qnlto likely that Mr. Manley will not take tho office, his private inter ests being in the way. Overcome by the Illltzard.
