TRY ONE AND SEE
Suicide or Murder
Monday morning Henry Schneider
was found dead in a room occupied by
him in tho rear of Ed Stilgobouers
meat market in tho village of Danbury
this county He formerly owned an
interest in the market but recently sold
to his partner Mr Stilgebouer for
whom ho was working at the time of
his death
Sheriff Crabtree Coroner Harlan
County Attorney Eldred and Stenog
rapher Cordeal went over to Danbury
the same morning to hold an inquest
over the body A jury was empanelled
and its verdict was that the deceased
came to his death from a shotgun wound
inflicted by persons unknown to the
jury Tho case is wrapped in mystery
which may never be unravelled
These are some of the facts and indi
cations
Tho body was found lying in bed with
top of head shot away by a shotgun
which lay on the floor by the bedside
Only one of the shells was discharged
The body lay in such a position in bed
tho bedclothes were in such orderly con
dition tho dead mans legs and anils
were in such position as to advance the
theory of murder On tho other hand
there are indications of suicide Schneid
er had been divorced from his young
wife at the June term of the district
courtand this is said to have preyed upon
his mind Schneider and brother had
married sisters The divorced wife
lives on the same farm with the sister
and brother-in-law south of Danbury
Schneider had 910 00 in a trunk in
his room The windows and doors of
tho room wero open A chisel was
found sticking in the lock of the trunk
as though an effort had been made to get
the money but if such bo the case the
party or parties were frightened away be
fore securing the booty Nothing in the
room was disturbed
It is said that Schneider had been
married three times but it is not known
that he had any children Ho was con
siderably over sixty years of age De
censed was excessively talkative this
bein his most marked characteristic
Letters found indicate that deceased
was making arrangements to go to the
Tabetha Home near Lincoln to spend
his latter days
The remains were buried in the ceme
tary at Danbury Monday services being
hold under Woodman and Workman
auspices

Union Temperance Meeting
The Congregational church was well
filled last Sunday evening on the oc
casion of the union temperance meeting
The meeting was addressed by Rov
Carman of the Methodist church Rev
Botts of the Baptist church and Rev
Conrad of tho Congregational church
Tho meeting was somewhat unusual
in at least one particular namely in at
onco assuming a personal nature And
again in that its warmth developed in
to what is popularly styled a roast
Now The Tribune does not assume the
prerogative of determining what course
these temperance meetings shall assume
It does not however fully accord with
that held on last Sunday evening
Neither does it yield to any man in its
wish and labor for true temperance
Nevertheless there is one feature of tho
meeting wo feel at lioorty to correct
nay criticiso the slurring reference of
Rev Betts to the press especially The
Tribune This paper regards it as a
gratuitous insult to the press and to
this paper for any public speaker to
state that a newspaper must bo hard
up for news when it publishes informa
tion such as Thk Tribunes reference in
its last issue to the action of Rev Betts
in filing a complaint with the city coun
cil against William Lewis for alleged
selling of liquors o minors The Tri
bune considers the publication absolute
ly legitimate and proper It will be re
membered The Tribune did not criti
cise tho gentlemans act Again this
clause of the article seems to bo especi
ally objectionable to Rev Betts The
question of possible costs in such action
is involved in the matter the city has
no funds for such a contingency and
complainant will not agree to pay costs
The Tribune does not and did not criticiso
the gentleman on this account It sim
ply gave the news as stated to it by tho
citys legal department It was stated
accurately
Now in a word The Tribune wants
to say that it stands ever and alway for
the practico and teaching of temperance
Its idea of temperance as applied to in
toxicating liquors is absolute teetotalism
We practice it teach it and urge it up
on jail Wo hope and pray that all men
mrfy come to see the question in the as
pect of total abstinence We have long
since however given up the idea of
forcing men to be temperate and of in
discriminate roasting of those engag
ing in the trafiic and use of liquors We
believe in being temperate in all things

opera houso last evening beforo a crowd
ed house under the auspices of the Mc
Cook Junior Normal School Tho lead
ing parts were strongly taken tho chorus
effective and the costuming superb Al
together it was ono of the most meritor
ious musical efforts McCook has enjoyed
in years and redounds to tho distinct
credit of Prof Miller musical director of
tho normal and his assistants
Mrs A P Bonnots Queen Esther
was quite faultless both in vocal scoro
aud dramatic action and delighted
everybody Her rolo was a marked suc
cess She won praise from every lip and
hearty applauso
The Kings part was strongly taken
by Prof Millor himself who in voico
and performance is particularly well
qualified and by experience was able to
give a very effective rendering of that
leading character
S II Martin handled Hainan with
skill and won approbation His voice
was adapted to the vocal part His sing
ing was easy and pleasing His playing
quite equal to tho demands of the diffi
cult part he had in the cast
Tho recognized talent of L II Lindo
mann as a tenor singer of ability stood
him well in hand in giving his Mordecai
tho Jew which is repleto with tuneful
touching music
Miss Ida McCarl made a very satis
factory Zeresh Hainans wife Her
voice enabled her to take the vocal scoro
strongly and tho dramatic side was sup
ported with equal effectiveness
Mordecais Sister required a voice of
high range and Mrs G II Thomas sup
plied this demand with all her acknowl
edged skill and cultivation
As Phrophetess Mrs C II Miller
gave a good account of herself Her
solo was one of the enjoyable features
of the evening
Miss Elsie Campbell won laurels as tho
Persian Princess Miss Elsio always
acts her part well and sings sweetly
In the dual character of Scribe and
Herald Roswell Cutler was a distinct
success and fully merits all the approval
accorded him
The rich full base voices of J R Mc
Carl High Priest and F II Strout as
Hegai were prominently in evidence
These gentlemen always please
MrsW B Mills added to her musical
reputation in tho manner in which the
piano accompaniment was rendered and
the Pythian orchestra was greatly en
joyed
Dr S C Beach one of tho acknowl
edged skillful musicians of the city was
conductor for the performance He en
joyed the privelegeand his services were
an element in the evenings success
There wero about fifty voices in the
choruses and they are entitled to their
meed of praise There was both volume
and quality The chorus work under
the difficult circumstances was gratify
ing
The Tribune takes pleasure in com
mending the work of Prof Miller and
his assistants in this production and in
congratulating him and them on its
success financially and artistically
