BEERIER'S DUPLICITY
Warden of Penitent tory Plays a Mean
Trick on Webster County People.
There are n number of people living'
in Red Cloud and vicinity who will
henceforward regard tin; word of
Warden lleemer of the state peniten
tiary with suspicion, owing to his
duplicity in deceiving them into thu
belief that they would be permitted
to see the execution of Frank Marker,
and then cheating them out- of the
opportunity.
Sheriff Hedge had a permit tosecthe
hanging, and the day beforo the exe
cution he had a conversation with the
warden, in which the latter promised
him thut he and those wJio accompa
nied him would be admitted. ,A large
crowd of ourir'sity seekers gathered at
the penitentiary in the hope of being
admitted, and Warden Hucnier told
Sheriff Hedge to take his party to the
east gate and they would be permitted
to enter at !i:30, in m .' time to see
the execution. Iti the party were
Sheriff Hedge of this county, Sheriff
Chirnside of Jefferson county. Sheriff
Jones of Nuckolls. Sheriff liillon of
Seward county, Sheriff llreer of Sa
line county and a number of Webster
county people. They shivered at the
cast gate for more than hour, and at
'2:n3, one minute after the drop fell,
Warden Hcemer opened the gate and
allowed them to enter. Inside, were a
hundred or more people who had no
more business there than a bund of
Sioux. Indians, yet the people from
this county, who were directly inter
ested in the nffair, were "hornswog.
gled" by the warden.
It was a dirty trick, and in line,
with Kcemer's conduct toward Web
ster county people ever since Judge
Homer "butted into" the llarkcr case.

BURIED IN POTTER'S FIELD

In the little room where tho plain,
black casket stood there was an air of
haste. It was no time, apparently,
for the singing of long songs or the
offering of long prayers. As soon as
the director appeared everyone v as
galvani.ed into action, rather than

Rut the services, brief as they were
land with their air of hastc, had much
of a certain dignity. On the casket
was a bunch of white carnations, a
I tinge of pink enlivening the Mowers
I that were rapidly wilting in the warm
I room. Five "trusties" clad in wot king
clothes, .the singer, Mrs. Knglish, the
minister and a newspaper uriii were
all who were there witli the casket.
Or. P. C. Johnson, chaplain of the
penitentiary, who knew Rarker dur
ing his long incarceration and who
liked the man despite his record, of
fered a prayer for the repose of the
man's soul, paused for a woman with
luminous, half-hesitating eyes to sing
"Abide With Me," and then brie ll
spoke of the man, saying that UurUci

the decent eereino'ny and burial given

VAfUY StOCkilldS l 's true that, Stockings ought to wear butter
WW fkuTpI "llllof? lan ley (0, 'ie Mse we sell, it sometimes
f T IfOII I tYvQIii seems, ought to wear better. Customers occasion
ally say that no stockings wear as well as they used to do. Of course, the trouble
is partly in the Stocking and partly in the wearer.
Women don't wear as heavy Hose as they once wore. They say: "Give
me something thinner; 1 can't wear those thick ones." And, of course, the ma
terial is not in them to give service. We would not expect the same service
from a lace and broadcloth gown, yet we do something similar in our reasoning
on Hose.
Then many require that their Hose lit like a glove. If they were to buy a
half size larger they would add much to the life of ;l pair of Hose. A good deal
depends on the treatment given a Stocking. If it is pulled on, twisted on, jerked
on, or worn with ill-fitting shoes, even a firm Stocking will soon give way.
It must be said, too, that dyes which are too strong will ruin a Stocking.
That is where the customer is powerless, and it is where we are powerless as
well. The old iron-wearing Hose were ingrain dyed colored in the yarn before
knitting. The newer fast blacks are much more evenly.dyed, but an acid is used
that sometimes gets ahead of tire watchfulness even of experts. Hut people
would not have the old gray-touched Hose and they can't have guaranteed wear
combined with fast, even color.
In ladies' Hose we have the following Embroidery Hose:
