A barge line on the Missour river is being agitated at Rule "We hope that such a line will b put in. It would not only tern to lower freight rates by fur nishing competition to the rail road but would liven things ui in our sister city to the east. A. J. Helmick of Stella was ; business visitor here yesterday. Suicide. Mrs. James GSlmore wile of I l.latnesGilmore living north of ithis city comnnted suicide at her home Monday. Mrs. Gilmore - more has been afllicled with ex treme nervousness for several years , her trouble being first loticed following a surgical operation. Her absence from home was noticed Monday afternoon at live oclock , at which time her family instituted search for her .mtil eight o'clock in the eve- : iing when a general alarm was .fiven and about sixty of the leighbors spent the night searching the fields anil follow- ng the Muddy river which runs close by. The body of the un- 'ortunate lady was lound hang ing in the cellar of his home by Grant Goolsby the next morn- ng. The corner was notified and a jury empanneled which returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The fun eral was held from Maple Grove hurch Wednesday , Rev. Brew er officiating , interment was had at Steele cemetery. Mrs. Gilmore leaves a husband and child eight years old to whom the entire community tenders its sympathy. She was a lady of refinement and was highly connected , being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Yoder. Another Point In Mystery. Recently we published the accident which occurred on the Missouri , which resulted in the drowning of a Mr. Mason and the finding of his body in the river by some workmen in the rip-rapping gang. Mason and Fred Kaufman were in the skiff together and the supposition was that the last named had suffered the same fate of the former. However according tc the Auburn Herald Fred Kauf. man was seen in the Union de pot at Kansas City a week age last Saturday by Frank Wood ward and son , Leslie Wood , ward. Mr. Woodward convers ed with the young man for n few minutes , but the latter de nied that he was Mr. Kaufmur saying that he was a miner and had been working in southerr. Missouri for many years. A1 this point Mr. Woodward was called away and on his returr in a few minutes the man had gone. He is positive that i1 was Fred Kaufman whom lit had seen , and was seconded bj Leslie Woodward who had play ed ball with Kaufman several seasons and was well acquaiteel with the man. This calls to mind the ques. tions arising concerning tin circumstances' surrounding th < overturned boat and the deatl of young Mason. Inmate Killed. While out walking with r squad of patients in charge o at tendants last Friday morn ing , M. II. McNamara a patien at the insane hospital at Hast ings , ran away from the at tendants and jumping a feno threw himself on the track ii front of the Burlington fiyer No 1. He was thrown quite a dis tance and was dead before the men reached him. McNamarr had always been a very quie patient , giving scarcely an trouble. He was sent to tbJ ! insane headquarters a numbei of years ago from this county Has Good Position. A word from a Western frien < tells us that GB. . Harvey i : nicely established in a good posi tion at San Point , Idaho. Beam er , as he is known to everyoni here is in the employ of a largi lumber company and likes th ( place fine. Arrested For Fishing- John W. Towle and Charles Ross of the John W. Towle Bridge company of Omaha , to gether with ,1. M. FJagler of Council Bluffs , la. , and George ID. Cole of Kansas City , Mo. , representing two other bridge companies , while waiting for the county board to convene liere , went down to the Bazile creek , near Center , Nebraska , which Hews near the town , with the intention of catching some fish. Shortly after they had cast their lines in the water the deputy sheriff of the county , acting as deputy game and fish warden , appeared upon the scene and placed all but Ross under arrest for fishing without a license. Ross , who has been liere very frequently , was ac quainted with the deputy sheriff and when he saw him approach ing started to run through the the thick underbrush which lines the banks. Towle , Flag- lerand Cole were brought back to town and Ross was appre hended as he came in under cover of the darkness. The county board is in session here now to let the yearly bridg contracts for this county and there are about fifteen representatives of different bridge companies in attendance. It is thought by some that the arrest of Towle and Ross is a scheme of some of the other bridge men to have them incar cerated until after the contracts are let , as the Towle Bridge company has always been suc cessful in securing these con tracts in the past. Married. On Tuesday evening at the bride's home at S o'clock oc. curred the marriage of Mrs. Maggie Clark and John Bridge- man , Judge Gagnon preforming the ceremony which joined the couple in matrimonial bonds.

Reserve , Kansas also suffered from the same storm being almost destroyed. Henry Kloepfel was up from his home near Preston yesterday afternoon. Among the Officials. The court house officials have had a very quiet week , after the excitement prevailing there for the past few weeks. In Chas. Loree's office there has been no cases filed , but he promises to give us a plenty in June , and will save his space accordingly. The docket seems to be crowded so we scarcely think we will be d o o m e d to disappointment. Klizabelh Schuler was taken to the insane hospital on Monday. Clare Foster was keeping af fairs in order at the Clerk's ollice Wednesday afternoon. In the meantime John Ilutchings , Chas. and Gus Ncitzel had hied them selves to the inviting banks of a local stream , bent on fishing. The first two gentlemen furnish ed the tackle while Gus furnished the bait. No wolf scalp's were brought in and the routine work was vcr } ' Hfiflit. Recorder Edwards managed to land several real estate transfers but nothing compared to the heavy run the past few weeks. But then he doesn't object since that south office room is about the coolest proposition in town , these warm summer da3fs. Treasurer Lord and assistants have been kept busy with the routine work but have not been snowed under. Superiiit'endant Oliver is quite busy as the school terms are Hearing their close , necessitating quite a large amount of checking up of work. The judges's office has been very quiet this week , just enough routine work to keep them at the office. But one license was is sued. John W. Hrldgmoti , mils City . " > ( !
