    THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JULY 27 , 1906
State News ,
bast Thursday considerable
excitement was occasioned in
and about the Morton house at
Nebraska City when a woman
was heard pleading in one of
the upper rooms in the servants
quarters and a scream for help
was followed by two shots.
Officers were called and found
the door of the room locked.
They broke it open and found
Charles Morris , the night clerk
of the hotel , lying , fully dressed
in a pool of blood on the lloor
with a bullet hole through the
side of his head , and Miss I'earl
Crouse , one of the dining room
irirls , laying on the bed , partly
disrobed , and blood streaming
from a hole in her forehead.
From what can be learned ,
Norris , who came here about a
month ago , met the girl and be
came infatuated with her. They
wore both together a great deal
on the streets and he was in
sanely jealous.
He is thought to have called
the girl into her room and , after
making her partly disrobe shot
her in the forehead , and , think
ing she was dead , placed the
revolver fo his head and dis
charged it , blowing a large hole
in the side , from which blood
and brains gushed.
It is not thought possible for
him to live , but some hopes are
entertained for the recovery of
the girl.
Men are queer. Wouldn't
there be a roar when they went
home to their meals if they had
to climb up on a high stool in
front of a table on which there
was no cloth , and eat their
meals in that fashion ? Yet a
majority of men , when they go
to a restaurant to eat , will pick
out the high stool and the feed
board with no cloth on it , in
preference to a comfortable
chair and a cloth-covered table.
A man will borrow a chew of
tobacco and most of them will
set their teeth into the phij *
right ever where some other
man gnawed out a chew. Ofl'er
him a piece of pie at home trom
which his wife or one of the
children has taken a bite and
he would holler his head off.
At home he would not drink out
of a glass or cup from which
some one of the family has been
drinking. Gall him into the
bade stall of a livery barn , pull
out a bottle , and he will stick
the neck of the bottle half way
down his throat in order to gel
a swig , after a half dozen other
fellows have had the neck ol
the bottle in their mouths. A
man is a queer duck.
Professor Lyon of the expert ,
ment station reporls that a five
acre tract of wheat , planted b }
the station * , has been threshed
and yielded 59 l-'J bushels U
the acre. The tract was sowr
with carefully selected > -eed o
the Turkey Red variety , whicl
is commonly used throughou1
Nebraska. Three years this
tract was sown to alfalfa. Tin
alfalfa was afterwards plowec
up and corn was planted. Tw <
crops of corn and one of oat !
have been taken from the lane
before the wheat crop whicl
has just been threshed. Man
ure was used as a fertilizer dur
ing the time that the tract wai
in alfalfa.
J. T. Harden , a prominen
business man of Beatrice had i
narrow escape from death be
neath the wheels of the But
lington special train at Vfy
more yesterday. The train ha
pulled out of the station , an
gained considerable spec
when Mr. Harden seized th
guard rail and attempted t
mount the platform. He wn
able to get a hold with but on
hand. He fell backwards upo
his head and shoulder and ha
almost rolled upon the rai
when he was rescued by Fran
Harrison , editor of the Beatric
Express. Mr. Harrison ws
preparing to board the rear ca
but seeh\y Mr. Harden's dai
gerous position , he threw Inn
self upon Mr. Harden's body
and rolled over and over away
from the wheels.
Louis Cogsiliill , a 12.year-old
boy of Rule tried a powder ex
periment Wednesday evening.
He filled a bottle with powder
and touched it oli. His legs
were Hlletl with glass , an artery
was severed and it took several
stitches to close the gashes.
W. L. Woodward , who lives
near the mouth of Four Mile
creek , some four miles south of
Nebraska City , unearthed what
promises to be quite a mystery ,
and the question now is wheth
er a murder has been committed
or whether thieves got scared ,
abandoned their booty and went
to pastures new.
Mr. Woodward was on the
river band and looking acoss
the river saw a skiff aground
on a sandbar , and getting his
own boat went to the skill' . If
was nearly on the Iowa side ,
out of the main channel and in
a slough. He recognized the
boat as one belonging to 10.
ICrvin , of this city. Three boats
were stolen from this point
Thursday night and this was
one of them.
In the boat was a line leather
suit case , locked , and quite
heavy. tt appeared full of
clothes. There was also in the
boat a small hand satchel , two
pairs of shoes , one black and
the other tan , the latter being
in stretchers ; a complete paper
hangers' outfit , folding dinner
pail , a fine wine colored coat ,
black soft hat and a good straw
hat. From the appearance of
the clothes the men were good
dressers. In the pocket of the
coat was foun . a ticket on the
Missouri Pacific railway , from
Union to Nebraska City , dated
July 10. but it never had been
used. There was a bank book
issued by the Milwaukee Trust
Co. , to Alex Wo/Aowiex , which
showed the last deposit to have
been made June ( i. lie had a
balance at that time of S10.-IO.
The book was No 12SMO. In the
book was also a card issued to
Alex 1'lebere , showing that he
was a member of the building
trades' council , union No.222 ,
and the card was good of April ,
May and June , 11)0(5 ) ( , and was
issued from Milwaukee.
Friday morning a man bare
headed , in his shirl sleeves his
trousers rolled up nearly to his
knees , with large revolver in
his pocket , passed the home of
Mr. Totten , near Old Foster
lake. lie was observed by
three men. The man did not
speak , but walked very fast and
was coming towards this city.
He carried a small sack in
his hand , but what was in it
none were able to ascertain.
Sheriff Donovan a n d Chief
Downing went down Saturday
afternoon to try and unravel
the mystery. Some are of the
opinion that a murder has been
committed , while others are of
the opinion that the boat getaway
away from theives and they
were afraid to stop and get it ,
tearing capture.
Secretary W. K. Mellor , of
the state board of agriculture ,
has received i > 00 yellow horst
blankets adorned with adver
tisements of the state fair. He
will place these on the unpro
tected backs of the dray horses
in the state. His reasons arc
partly humanitarian and partlj
commercial. He will keep tht
lies off the horses and so adver
tise the state fair that "then
will be no Hies on it.1' Chie
d Game Warden George L. Cartel
has informed Mr. Mellor tha
he has a huge catfish at Soutl
Bend which will be the chie
attraction of the fisheries build
ing at the state fair. The "bull
head" weighs 87 pounds am
was captured at the mouth o
the Platte river. The fish wil
be placed in the tank in th
center of the fisheries building
Superintendent O'Brien of thi
state fisheries has the big lisl
in charge , having shipped hin
from the point of his capture t <
i- South Bend.
ARE KITCHEN PERQUISITES.
Cooks and Stewards Who Get Com
missions on Purchases Make
Markotinan Oronn.
Perquisites for the head of the
kitchen arc matters to be men
tioned with bated breath , says the
New York Times. They arc some-
hing that neither the cook , chef
lor market man will allow , yet it
H a well-known fact that inmost
arge households the steward of
he establishment , whoever that
my be , makes a comfortable in-
ome in commissions. It was th'i
ealcr , undoubtedly , who began
hin , but the custom has ( level-
ped as it has grown , and de-
nands for commissions have mui-
ipliod , and occasionally a little
nformation crops out through
ome one who feels aggrieved.
"It was all right , " groaned the
narketmnn t he ot her day , , "when
allowed them fi or 10 per cent.on
he bills , hut when they begin to
lemand lf and ' . ! ( ) porcent.it looks
AI soim > of ( ho bureaus where
i'i-'nl .semuijts register
hey will not take one whom they
enow exacts commissions. There
ire few who are refused on that
iccouiil. however , for , as stated ,
I is no ) a subject that is usually
nentioned. One high-priced cook ,
lowever , has waited for several
Months for a position because she
'ofused ' lo lake one where a house-
eepei was employed , and she
was conscientiously kept from
) lhers on the grounds that she
was lookin r for perquisites.
One family in New York abso >
utely refuses to allow anyone in
ts employ lo leccive commissions
on household supplies purchased.
They look into the matter care-
'nlly , and none is given. However ,
f the shopman is so minded , or the
cook sends a letter saying that
times are hard and money scarce ,
ind he then sends out a little pres
ent ofIfl'K or ? l5 ! , who can object !
That is a simple way to get around
the matter .and no one is the
wiser.
There may be an understanding
with the family that a commission
is to he received , and the matter
is then on as legitimate a basis as
that of any other business. As ; i
rule , however , it is generally un
derstood , and the mistress of the
house , ( hough she may have ob
jections. closes her eyes and puts
the whole thing comfortably enl
of mind. If she doesn't it makes
no difference ; she can do little t < ;
prevent it.
I know m.v servants reccivti
commissions , " said the mistress
of one wealthy family the othei
day , "but what can one do ? If 1
should allow myself to be worried
by such things I should be perfect
ly miserable , and if I watched tin
servants all the time 1 could dt
nothing else. "
INSURING AGAINST TWINS.
Underwriter Makes $125 in Venture
Which He Knew He Could
Not Lose Out.
An English gentleman of limit
ctl means had married receutlj
into a very prolific family , sny :
Leslie's Monhtly. There was pros
peet of an addition to his house
hold.
' Twins , " reflected the gentle
man , "are much more expensivt
to support than one child. " A IK
he sent his broker to one o
Lloyd's underwriters. The under
writer set an actuary to look ovei
the vital statistics and make t
few calculations. Then for th <
sum , I think , of 25 guineas , he in
aured the gentleman in 1,00 (
against the advent of twins.
This somewhat threadbare tal <
shows fairly both sides of th <
game of insurance. The eviden
aide is chance. The underwrite !
invited a loss of 973.15.0 foi
which he would have nothing t <
show. The other side , :
The point of the story i
that the lady presented her impo
cunioiiB husband with one fine son
The underwriter , deducting , say !
as the value of his time and his ac
tuary's , , set down a net profit o
24.5.0 , for which he had advancei
nothing but the risk , science.
Still the Same.
"I met Dumley to-day for tin
first time in years. He hasn'
changed much. "

but he doesn't seem to realize it.1

"O ! he's
