Beatrice dispatch : The suicide of
Hon. John E. E. Harden of Liberty
caused a decided shock to the people
of Beatrice , to whom he was well and
favorably known. He was one of the
noblest of fellows and those who knew
him best were proud of his acquaint
ance and occasional companionship.
He was generous to a fault , as he no
doubt realized before his death. He
was at one time president of the Bank
of Liberty , but had sold out his Inter
est in that institution and of late had
been confining his attention to real
estate and insurance. He had suffered
financial reverses and although fre
quently importuned by wealthy rela
tives and friends to accept proffered
aid , he proudly refused to acept any
financial assistance. He came of one
of the finest families in Illinois , his
mother still residing in Dixon. He had
been in ill health for months and had
been told by physicians that he could
never be completely cured. This , to
gether with his financial condition , un
doubtedly led to his committing self-
murder.

Sterling dispatch : Miss Grace Thels
the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Peter Theis , living five miles
northeast of this city , committed sui
cide yesterday by taking paris green.
She came to town on Tuesday to spend
Decoration day and remained over
night and walked home the next morn

paris green at xieilman's drug store ,
and on arriving home she was taken
with convulsions and vomiting.
Her parents became alarmed and Im
mediately sent for a physician , but she
died a quarter of an hour before the
physician's arrival.
The cause of her rash act seems to
be a mystery , as she was in the best
of spirits during the day and seemed
to be as jolly as usual. Her parents
are well-to-do and highly respected
farmers and are nearly prostrated over
the sad affair.
Nebraska In Washington ,

hon of the free delivery service stated ,
however , in relation to the Omaha
application for an additional force ,
that the average time consumed at the
office by carriers in Omaha was about
twenty-five minutes more than it ought
to be and that he suggested it ought
to be cut down. An additional carrier
has been allowed Fremont , Neb. , from
September 1 , the understanding being
that the entire city of Fremont must
now be covered by the carrier service
as increased.

Nebraska Crop Uullctiii.
The last week , says the crop bulletin ,
has been warm and wet in the south
eastern counties and dry and windy in
the central and western counties. The
average daily temeprature excess has
varied from 5 degrees in the eastern
part of the state to less than 1 degree
in the western part
The rainfall has generally been be
low the normal , except in the south
eastern counties , where it exceeded an
inch in most places and exceeded two
inches in Lancaster and parts of Fillmore -
more and Seward counties. In the
northern portion of the state the rain
fall was but slightly below the normal ,
but in the central and southeastern
counties it was generally less than a ,
quarter of an inch.
Taken as a whole , this has been a
good growing week in most parts of
the state. The lack of rain in some
of the southwestern counties has been
rather unfavorable , but as yet no dam
age has resulted. Rye Is headed out
and without exception is reported a
thin stand , with prospect of a poor
crop. Winter wheat is headed in
southern counties. Oats and spring
wheat are weedy and in a few instances
the weediest fields have been listed to
corn. Corn has grown well in all parts
of the state. Cultivation is in progress
and in southern counties most of the
crop has been cultivated the first time.
In northeastern counties considerable
replanting is being done , but elsewhere
the stand is much above the average
and thus far little complaint has been
made of damage by cut-worms. Pas
tures and meadows continue in excel
lent condition. Potatoes and sugar
beets are growing nicely. Alfilfa is
being cut in the southweastern coun
ties and the crop is only fair.

Kansas CKrl Nebraska Man
This is the story of a Kansas girl
and a Nebraska taan , says the Kansas
City Journal : About a year ago Miss
Bertha Miller , a petite and pretty maic !
of Ottawa , went to the home of her
uncle near Steelburg , N l\ , for a visit.
One morning her uncle sent her over
to the house of Noah J. Handley , a
rich bachelor neighbor , to borrow a
tool. Mr. Handley kept a family in
his big house , but Just at the time they
happened to be absent and when Miss
Miller appeared In the door he was
busily engaged in cooking his own
breakfast
"Well , of all things ! " ejaculated the
little lady , as she gazed upon the big
man lumbering about the kitchen.
"Maybe you think I can't cook ? " said
the big fellow , as foolish grins chased
themselves over his countenance.
"Oh , I suppose you are like all the
rest of the men and think you can cook
better than anybody , but I never sa
a man yet who didn't spoil victuals1
every time he touched them. I "
"Now look a-here , " said Handley , at
he waived a caketurner , "you sit down
at that table and eat some of this
breakfast before you talk too much
about my cooking. "
"Wouldn't it be fun ! " twittered the
Kansas girl. "But then I don't think
I ought to , " she continued doubtfully ,
as a vision of the proprieties rose be
fore her.
But she who hesitates is lost , and
presently the pair were seated opposite
each other and the bachelor breakfast
was being consumed.
"Must be awfully tiresome living
alone and doing your own reeking , "
said the little lady , as she made con
versation.
"You bet it is , " responded Mr.
Handley.
"Why don't you get a woman then ? "
"Well , that's just what I am going
to do when I find a good one who is
willing to have me. "
"Oh , I didn't mean that , " replied the
Kansas girl in confusion and blushing
furiously. "I meant a housekeeper. "
"Got a housa full of 'em when they
are at home , " replied Handley , and
then he continued confidentially : "You
see , it isn't housekeepers a man wants ,
but a nice little partner with blue
eyes and curly hair and "
"Oh , Mr. Handley , how forgetful I
am ! Here I am talking about hired
girls and cooking when poor uncle
must be just storming around because
I dent come with that clevis. I thank
you very much for the breakfast , " and
with this the curly-headed , blue-eyed
Kansas girl fled.
All of which is duly recounted in a
letter to the Topics from Pleasanton ,
where Mr. Noah H. Handley and his
Kansas bride are visiting with the
family of Rev. Mr. Keopsal Mrs.
Keopsel being a sister of the groom.
And our correspondent adds a few
conventional details to the effect that )
the marriage took place in Ottawa ,
that the groom is aged 38 and the bride
28 , and that the groom has some big
farms and a bigger bank account
Removed Dr. Spragno.
Governor Poynter signed a decree
removing Dr. Charles G. Sprague from
the office of superintendent of the in
stitution for feeble minded youths at
Beatrice. Before the hearing last
week Governor Poynter announced
that this action would be taken and
that B. F. Long of York would be
appointed to fill the place. The fol
lowing letter was addressed to Dr.
Sprague by Governor Poynter this aft
ernoon :
Executive Office , Lincoln , Junt 5.
Dr. Charles G. Sprague , Institution
for Feeble Minded Youths , Beatrice ,
Neb. Dear Sir : I beg hereby to in
form you of the conclusions reached
by me in the matter of the investiga
tion of the management of the Insti
tution for Feeble Minded Youths at
Beatrice , Neb. , during the period of
your incumbency as superintendent.
1. From the investigation made by
me I find that during the manage
ment of the Institution for Feeble
Minded Youths by you the care and
management of the patients under
your charge has not been conducted
in a manner that has promoted the
best interests of the institution.
2. I further find that there has been
a want of proper discipline exercised
by you orcc the employes under your
control , which has resulted in an in
jury to the proper management of the
institution and for the causes above
mentioned , after a careful examina
tion of the testimony offered by the
complainants and also by yourself at
the hearing before me on the second
day of June , 1899 , it is hereby ordered
that you be and are hereby removed
as superintendent of said institution
and you are hereby relieved of any
further authority or duty as such su
perintendent. Very truly yours ,
W. A. POYNTER , Governor.

MANILA , June 12. At daybreak
Saturday a force of 4,500 men under
Generals Lawton , Wheaton and Oven-
shine advanced from San Pedro Ma-
catl , sweeping the country between
the bay of Manila and Bay lake , south
of Manila. By noon the country had
been cleared almost to Paranaque.
The Americans lost two officers
killed and twenty-one soldiers wound
ed.
ed.The
The rebels resisted desperately at
the stronger of their positions and left
fifty dead in the trenches. Many more
wounded were left behind by the rebels
In their retreat
The heat during the day was over
powering and there were many pros
trations of American soldiers from
that cause.
General Lawton's force consisted of
two battalions each of the Twenty-
first and Ninth infantry , six companies
of the Colorado volunteers and a de
tachment of artillery. The Nevada
cavalry was under General Wheaton
and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth
infantry , the Fourth cavalry and a de
tachment of light artillery were under
General Ovenshine.
It was scarcely dawn when the
troops in a long , siluiit procession ,
wound up the hillside behind the
American trenches and formed a skir
mish line. Concealed in the jungle
the advance rebel outposts fired a few
shots before being seen.
The opposing forces occupied two
ranges of crescent-shaped hills.
The artillery , the Colorado infantry
and the Nevada cavalry swung around
the hill top on the left and opened the
battle at C:30. The rebels made no
response from the hills and the Colorado
rado men cautiously advanced through
the thick grass until they were con
fronted by a trench , from which a few
weak volleys were fired. A spirited
response followed and a charge into
the trench found it to be deserted.
In the meantime a part of the Thir
teenth and Fourteenth regiments
formed in skirmish line , extending a
mile to the right , and supported by
the rest of the regiments swept down
the valley and up the hillside toward
another trench. Approaching through
the moras seriously hampered the
Fourteenth and the rebels , taking ad
vantage of this , poured a galling fire
upon them for thirty minutes. The
Fourteenth was twice compelled to
withdraw for the purpose of finding a
safe crossing in the swamp. Finally ,
the trench was enfiladed or bothflanks.
The rebels fled to the woods and sus
tained severe loss.
General Lawton then pushed his en
tire command south through the cen
ter of the isthmus until a few miles
south of Parannaque , when he swung
around and halted on account of the
heat
During the march Americans were
prostrated on all sides , owing to lack
of water and exposure to the sun. It
is estimated that forty per cent of the
troops were exhausted.
The double-turreted monitor Mo-
nadnock and three other vessels shell
ed Paranaque this morning and the
rebels promptly evacuated the place.
FORCES BARRIAS TO LEAVE.
5on of Toriner President of Guatemala
an Exile.
SAN FRANCISCO , June 12. Antonio
nio Barrios , leader of the liberal party
of Guatemala , whose followers are
striving to place him in the presiden
tial chair now occupied by Manuel
Estrada Cabera , was a passenger on
the steamer San Jose , from Panama.
He is a son of the late General Rufino
Barrios , founder of the liberal party of
Guatemala , whose term as president
covered a period of fourteen years.
Senor Barrios , while admitting that
his residence in San Francisco was
due to political difference between his
sympathizers and the party in power ,
would not acknowledge that he was
forced to flee from his country. Oth
er passengers , however , who arrived
by the same steamer , say that not only
was he compelled to take his depar
ture , but President Cabera allowed
him only ten days to do so. They
say also that Guatemala is on the
verge of a revolution , which will pro-
bahly result in the downfall of the Ca
bera government to the gain of the
liberals , wh are almost unanimous in
their choice of Antonio Barrios for
president
Steamer Doomed.
COVBRACK , Cornwall , June 12
The American line steamer Paris ,
which ran on the rocks off the Man
acles May 21 , is now known to be
doomed. A southeast wind is blowing ,
bringing in heavy seas , which are
driving the steamer astern landwards.
Its boilers have shifted , its false bottoms
toms are gone and the divers are un
able to work. The officers of the
steamer leave it today.
With the exception of about a doz
en men who remain with the captain
and three officers , all the crew of the
Paris have left it. On the arrival of
the last batch of the crew at Falmouth -
mouth , to be paid off. a fracas oc
curred with the agents or underwrit
ers. The agents refused to jay the
men's fares home , which the sailors
strongly resented , as they stood by the
ship until nearly the end. There is
now nearly thirty feet of water in the
iold of the Paris.

ARMOUR , S. D. , June 12 ( Special
Telegram to the Omaha Bee. ) Par
ticulars of the tragedy four miles
northeast of Delmont , in which S.
Clark shot and fatally wounded his
wife and 15-year-old daughter , point
to a cold-hlooded murder. The shoot
ing occurred at the home of M. E.
Bunday while the Bundy family and
Mrs. Clark and daughter were at din
ner. Clark and wife were divorced
about four years ago and were re
married in June , 1898. They had four
children , the daughter who was killed
and three smaller ones. For some
time Clark and his wife have been
separated and Mrs. Clark has recently
instituted proceeding for a divorce.
The daughter has all the time kept
house for her father and the little
ones.
Friday about noon Clark was plow
ing near the road on his place , when
his wife drove past in the direction
of the Bundy homestead. Clark called
to her to stop , but she made no reply
and drove on. Shortly afterward the
daughter came to the Held and re
quested permission to go to Bundy's
to see her mother. Receiving no reply
she took the little children and re
paired to the Bundy residence , where
she was soon followed by Clark. Enter
ing the house Clark demanded of his
wife why she had not stopped when
he called to her.
"I had nothing to say to you. "
"Did you sign any papers at Hoop
er's yesterday ? "
Mrs. Clark refused to affirm or deny
this , whereupon Clark drew a revolver
and shot her. The ball , which was a
44-caliber , entering the left side of her
neck and pasing clear through. Turn
ing to the daughter , he sent a ball
into her right shoulder , it passing
through the body and coming out un
der the right arm , breaking it. A
second shot entered the back of the
head and came out in the forehead.
Clark then returned to his home ,
changed his shoes , unharnessed a
horse and , armed with a rifle and re
volver , started on horseback in a
northwesterly direction. He had a
five hours' start when the Douglas and
Hutchison county officers arrived on
the scene. Six men sat for nearly five
hours within a half mile of the house
afraid to go near it to investigate.
Mrs. Clark and daughter were alive at
midnight , but their deaths were hour
ly expected. Clark has not been ap
prehended.
APTERMATH OF THE BIG FIGHT.
Fallen Champion Makes No Kxcuses
May Ask for Another Go.
NEW YORK , June 12 George Siler ,
who refereed the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons
fight , said in an interview :
"It was a nice , clean , straightaway
fight , with no attempt on either side to
foul. Both men seemed to do their best
to avoid any violations of the rules.
Of course , when big men like these get
tired there is more or less clinching.
In my opinion Jeffries had a shade the
best of it for the last seven rounds.
Jeffries is unquestionably a young man
of remarkable strength. It was a good
fight from start to finish and the best
man won. "
Ex-Champion Robert Fitzsimmons
said to a World correspondent :
"I fully expected to win , but I
didn't. Jeffries won because he waa
the better man. I could not believe
that he had improved so much. He is
young , strong , quick and clever. I
have no excuse to make on the score
of condition and over-confidence. I
was in perfect trim better , really ,
than I ever was before , and fought the
best I could. Whereas I fully expected
to win , I did not hold my man cheai. .
That is something I was never guilty
of. Jeffries is now the champion of
the world beyond question and is en
titled to all the praise that may be
showered upon him. I for one will not
molest him for the present. Of course ,
I may challenge him , but it was all so
sudden that I have not had time to
decide just what I will do. It is not
improbable that I will ask him for an
other chance. "
Jim Corbett said : "It proved just
as I predicted. "
Champion Jeffries said : _ "The fight
was never for a moment in doubt so far
as I was concerned. I knew what I
could do when I entered the ring and
I grew more confident every moment
I believe I am the best man in the
world and I am willing to defend ths
title. "
Miners Prepare to Strike.
PITTSBURG , June 12. A strike of
25,000 coal miners in the central dis
trict of Pennsylvania is threatened.
Within the last ten days secret meet
ings have been held at Robertsdale
and Clearfield at which the national
and district officers of the United Mine
Workers' association were authorized
to prepare the machine miners of the
whole district for a strike to be de
clared as soon as those officials
thought the time ripe. A letter from a
national organizer received here de
clares that this will be within a month
or six weeks.
A complete tie-up of the mines In
the central region , which includes the
counties of Cambria , Clearfield , Jeffer
son , Armstrong , Huntington , Bedford
Somerset , Center and Clarion , would
seriously hamper the great ship coal
ing depots of the eastern seaboard ,
for that is where most of the producl
goes.
