for advertising is a species of disreputable
journalism that is responsible for the
fact that country editors do not generally

country editor who schemes to reduce

that in the death of a homestead entry

should issue to all the heirs equally and
not to the minor heirs to the exclusion

with the decision must be considered
overruled, and hereafter all patents is
sued most conform to this decision.

On the Wrong Scent.
Deputy Sheriff Babcock came down
from Hayes county on Monday having
in custody Jacob Mundell charged with
being interested 111 the bowman robbery
of some months since. In the prelimi
nary trial before Squire Kelley Mundell
was released and the case dismissed, it
appearing that Jacob was not the man
wanted at all. It seems, however, that
Jacob had been down to this city about
the time of the robbery, and had on
credit secured some articles which led to
the suspicion among some people of that
neighborhood that he was the party that
had engineered the bowman robbery, as
the family branched out in unusual
splendor shortly after his return from
McCook. The account of the robbery as
it appeared in The Tribune also sug
gested to them the suspicion under the
other unusual circumstances. The hear
ing entirely exonerated Mr. Mundell,
however.

Capital is evidently beginning
to understand the significance of
the popular hostility to trusts. The
unfruitful results of the efforts of
several of these combines to bor
row money last week so indicate.
Stock of these corporations that a
few weeks ago were “gilt-edged”
receive now little or no considera
tion. No one can long violate a
natural law with impunity, and
these trusts exist in violation of
the natural law of trade as surely
as of the ethical code and legal
statutes. Their imminent condi
tion merely again illustrates the
truth of the trite adage that the
mills of the gods grind slowly, but
they grind exceedingly fine. Icha
bod is written on their charters—
their day has .departed.

Death of Frankie Laverty.
Tiie Lincoln Herald contains the fol
lowing account of the death of little
Frankie Laverty, the eight-year-old son
of George Laverty, late of our city.
“Franklin Laverty, a boy eight years of
age, living with his parents at 1910 Cher
ry street, fatally shot himself Thursday
evening. He was playing with a loaded
revolver and placed the weapon against
his breast, making the remark to some
of his companions that he was going to
kill himself, immediately pulling the
trigger. The ball passed through his
heart and body. The boy being so young
could certainly have no motive in com
mitting suicide, and the only reason
assigned is that he didn’t know how the
revolver worked.”
