fllti XOUKOI.K NKWS : KHIIIDAV , MAlti'l ' GOES INTO THE INSATIABLE MAW OF THE ELKHORN. BOUGHT THE PIECE LAST YEAR May Be Compelled to Make Another Investment Farmers are Protecting Their Lands With Rlprapplng , and Their Losses are Not so Large. The high waters of the Hlkhorn this spring Imvo donu one mean trick be- Hide tearing * out the approaches to bridge's and making others shaky , and that IB the tearing out of the piece of road between the Dauby and Vlanny farms for which the county commls- Blonors last year paid the sum of $ C > 0. TJio regularly allotted rAad space had been so taken away last year that the commissioner were forced to pro vide other accommodations for the public and this year It appears that they will be compelled to repent the process. While the surface of the soil at tills place Is linn and fertile , It has an nndcrlayer of sand that the eddying waters quickly eat away and the road , or choice fields , or whatever chances to bo above , goes down stream with the swift current to con tribute a share of the building mate rial that is going Into the construction of that , long and broad delta below New Orlsans in the Gulf of Mexico. With the taking out of the roadway , several poles of the Nebraska' ' tele phone company have been undermined nml swept away. The losses to the farmers have not been as serious this year as they were last season from the washing and roll ing of the river. Many of them took the warning of last year and the year before to her.'t and have riprapped the banks of the stream with willows or wires , or have protected the banks with fascines or in other effective manner. For several years acres and acres of the rich black Elkhorn loam have been dissembled , dissolved and floated down the stream , but the farmers do not require many lessons of this sort since they are cultivating right up to the bank of the stream un til they are influenced to begin pro tective measures , and the abundance of willows ho/ ? made this possible for most , of them. With the increasing numbers of these fascines the river will some day be confined to a regular channel during the time of flood when it will be safer for bridges , roads , farms and every other interest affect ed by the spring rises.

Little Brown Brother Wants to be Lit- tie Brown Brother-in-law. Ann Arbor , Mich. , March 2. Our little brown brother would also be our little In-own brother-in-law. Filipino students at the University of Michi igan have raised their protest against a bill introduced In the Indiana legis lature by Senator Davis aimed at the prevention of the marriage of Amer ican girls to men of the archipelago. Reciprocity and a "square deal" in matrimony , as well as affairs of state , is what the Filipinos want , and they express their desires in a straightfor ward way. Frederico Unson of Luco- ra , Tayahas , P. I. , says : We regret very much such dlscrlm Inatlon , for wo never suffered it un der the Spanish government , although that was called despotic. Several companions of. the student nodded their approval of his words. Filipino boys could marry Spanish girls , and many of them did. Further more , wo know very well that in the Philippines Americans can enter into legal matrimony with our girls at any time , therefore why should not the Filipinos be allowed to marry Ameri can girls ? Where Is your reciprocity ? So we protest sincerely against this ' bill , not because wo wish' to marry white girls , but because we want jus tice , reciprocity and a square deal , and , above all , wo want to save our country's Integrity.

At 7 o'clock by the whistles the seat sajo was established and people who dropped in on their way down town for the sake of getting choice parquet selections found that there 11 nd been suvoral hundred ahead of them and that the biggest portion of the downstairs had already been sold. Within an hour several hundred more hud been dispensed and this afternoon there were Just a few seats In the playhouse loft. And thin In the face of the fact that it is a $ l.fiO show. Thisis one of the llrst real good plays that has cometo Norfolk during the present season and the hearty wel come should demonstrate to the thea ter management that the public of this city , if permitted to do it , would buy out the house.

Minneapolis , March 2. Fred W. Gebhard of Warrens , Wls. , a brother of Dr. Louis A. Gebhard , the murdered New Dm dentist , is confident that Dr. Ivoch is the murderer , and takes exceptions to other theories advanced by the press. In a communication he says : "I see In the Minneapolis and St. Paul papers an article headed as fol lows : 'St. Paul Man as Murderer. ' Now , that article Is only written to mislead the people and to bo put Into the hands of jurymen. The article is a hoax and the biggest kind of a fake. "After the murder was committed the defense claimed there was a wo man in the case. The Gebhard family knew better , the New Ulm people knew better and Dr. Louis A. Gob- hard's friends knew better , and did not believe it. "Next It was a cocaine fiend. This was run to earth and found only an other fake. Next the defense wanted to lay the murder on to a poor Idiot of New Ulm , but not on Dr. Koch. Only another fake. Now It is some St. Paul man. The biggest fake of all. "The evidence all shows the mur derer to be 'G. R. K.or Dr. George R. Koch. My brother. Louis , was too particular to entangle himself in any love affair. I am positive of this. "Lincoln said , you can fool some of the people all the time , bu't you can't fool all the people all the time. "The public press should bo for honor and justice , and help to ferret out the murderer , and not make false reports.
