To The Norfolk News : As published in The Weekly News this week I am quoted ns say ing things that I did not say and do ing things which I did not do. What I did say and do on the streets of Norfolk I stand ready to meet same at nny time. What I would bo glad to do would bo to get my case with D. C. O'Connor before the patrons of the school district and let them de cide the question nt issue. To enter into a review of the case In The News would bo laborious to all parties concerned and expensive to the paper and not desirable on my part. However , should a number of the patrons of the school district sig nify a request to mo to review the case at a given time and place , I stand ready to comply with their re quest. At the same tlmo D. C. O'Con nor or one of his friends would boat liberty to reply to same. Truly yours , J. W. Doveo. Whnt w"l he ftr * tntnl I'opulnt Vote cnH tnr rn.'tUn ' * ' r ilU'i 1. 1.

SHE NURSED MISS GRACE SPEAR And Having Become Quite Exhausted During the Long Illness of Her Niece , the Deadly Disease Fastened Upon Her and Took Her Life. fFrom Saturday's Dally. ] Miss Iconise Keys , sister of Mrs. George H. Spear and well known in Norfolk , died at Clarks , Neb. , this morning after n several months' ill ness of tuberculosis. Such is the substance of a message received by Miss Mason , of this city , from Mrs. Spear , who was at the bed side of her sister. The news of Miss Keys' death will not come wholly unexpected by her many friends in Norfolk ns for a num ber of months she has been growing weaker and the end was but inev itable. Peculiarly Sad. A pcculnf sadness surrounds the Illness and" death of this young wo man. She was a professional nurse and her untiring effort to save the life of her nleco , Miss Grace Spear , about a year ago , and the ceaseless care which she gave at that time , keeping the frail young girl nllvo for weeks and weeks , was the beginning of her own illness. She was nt ono time a teacher In the Norfolk schools , and will be remembered - momborod kindly by her former pu pils. After the death of Grace Spear it was a very short time until the fa tal disease had fastened upon the ex hausted nurse nnd she wont south for a trip in the hope of beneflttlng her condition. Climatic change , however , failed to Improve her health and she returned to Clarks , Neb. , with but one outcome possible. Mrs Spear has boon at the homo for n number of weeks , in turn carlHg tenderly for the alntor who had given her own llfo In trying to save her nlccp. And within the year both have panrod away.
