Why Editor Was Not Guilty.
Wa tiu , i\uu. , U L . . . LUIIUI c
The News : I am informed that
number of newspapeih have cilliclse
the tilling of the dlstiiet coiui c
Pierce county In what Is called th
Osmond Uopublluui libel case
1 think those papcis must have bet
misled by tepots of the case as pul
libhed and mUunderMood ( he tiatm
of the case and believed the declblo
was based alone on the evidence thn
defendant did not witte the llbelou
attlcle.
The actjon was not one for damages
It was a criminal prosecution for pul
lishlng the article.
The evidence of the state was the
defendant was owner of the papei
but that his son was editor and mat
ager ; that defendant took no part I
the management or publication of th
paper at the time . . ,0 llbclous nrtlcl
was published ; that defendant ha
taken a homestead In South Dakot
some time before and took no part I
the management of the paper whe
the article complained of was put
lished. The state's evidence was the
the article was set up by defendant'
son without copy defendant had n
knowledge of It , and aad not dlrecte
or requested any article of Its natur
to be published.
The evidence failed to show or a
tempt to show that defendant had nn
knowledge of publication of the art
cle , or caused the same to be wrlttc
or published or thai he was In Nj
braska when It was published. Th
prosecution stated It could produce nether
other evidence tending to connect di
fondant with Iho crime charged.
The courl ruled that under such ev
donee , defendant could not be convlc
od of the cilme of writing , pi luting c
publishing a false and malicious lib <
or procuring such libel to be printe
and published.
Yours truly ,
A. A. Welch.

Spinal Disease Now Spreading.
Norfolk. Nob. , Oct. 23. Eelltt
News : Whether this disease whie
is now epidemic in Nebraska is me
ingitls or myelitis Is a question fi
physicians to discuss. What concert
the public is that it is a grave diseai
and Is contagious from person to pc
son. When it attacks the membram
that cover the brain and spinal coi
it is called cerebro spinal menlnglt
I and Is rapidly fntal. When the inflat
matlon is in the substance of tl
spinal cord and attacks the anterh
columns it is called anterior polio my

wactlng of tbe muscles.
The Dally News was the first new
paper In the state to give prominem
to the epidemic and was censured 1
a few uninformed individuals for wh ;

alarm. The progress of the diseai

In the history of the disease tlnrii

that the greatest prevalence and me

Blq Men on the Y. M. C. A.
President Taft snys of the associr
'ion : "I have boon connected wit
'ho Y. M. C. A. from the time of in :
voung manhood , and my Interest 1
It has Increased as I have lo-irnc
norc nnd more of Its work and n
he alms of Its work. The assoclatlo
's an economic advantage in over
ity , because it Is cheaper to keep me
rom elolng wrong than to reform ther
n penitentiaries after they have don
vrong. Purely from the point ei
conoipics , people living in a city coul
veil afford to assist the work of th
\ssoclation , because it throws nroun
voung men influences that are pur
yiug. "
Lucius Tuttle , president of the Boi
on & Maine railroad : "Charade
s ono of the things which can h
nodeled only by such an organlzntlo
is the ! . M. C. A. or through churc
influence. The management of th
fJ. & M. raProad Is very well satis
led of the earnest work of the ral
road department and wr > feel that n
ill times a moat cordial support ca
"to honestly given to Its efforts. "
James McCrea , president of th
Pennsylvania railroad : "The wor
arried on by the Young Men's Chris
tlan Association now has been ele
veloped to PO general an extent thn
Mio association can no longer bo coi
idered other than a permanent ir
titutlon , in fact , the results accomi
llshcd have been so signally succesi
ful that those branches are rightl
recognized as an important factor I
general railroad work. I take muc
"leasurc in acknowledging the man
benefits which I bolleve employees c
the company have derived through it
agency. "
W. C. Brown , senior vice presidcn
of the New York Central lines : "Th
work of the railroad branches of th
association located on our lines , th
influence they exert , tbe accomoelt
tlons they afford our employes , have
In my opinion , been of very distlnc
benefit in Improving the character an
moral of the service. The contrlbi
tlons of the railroad company to thos
associations have been among th
most profitable Investments the road
have made. "
Opinions from two Illinois resident !
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. P. Lord , who gav
$40.000 to the Y. M. C , A. at Elgin
"When Mrs. Lord and myself desire
to aid the young men of our city i
their efforts to help themselves , w
che > so the Young Men's Christian Ai
soclatlon for that purpose , because w
know that Christianity Is the mos
potent power In the world for chn :
actor building. The association clasp
the hand of the young men Just at th
time when they are leaving their earl
homes to engage in the active dutlc
of life. It supplements these homo It
fluences , which have been the snft
guard of their boyhood days. "
Harry W. Avery , who provided
building for the Y. M. C. A. at Be
vldero : "My Investment here Is f
such recent date ( last year ) that n
turns are not fully perceptible ye
but are sufficient oven now fully t
satisfy me of the wisdom of the h
vestment. Young men already are I
attendance upon the different dopnr
ments beyond my fondest expecti
tlons , and I am fully convinced thr
wherever such Investments are mad
In the right spirit , their holpfulnof
to young men In the time of characte
forming will prove them to be firs
class Investments , "
Sheriff Iloaglnnd of Lincoln , Not
said very recently : "Tho Y. M. (
A. helps young boys from bocomln
criminals and Is doing n great wet
to decrease the number In the Jail
The taxpayer ought to bo well able I
afford to support such an Instltutlo
that takes the boy and the your

IOWA SURPRISES NEBRASKA.
Old Rivals In Hard Fought 6 to 6
Tie Game.
Lincoln. Oct. 25. Nebraska and
lo-wa played two 35-mInute halves tea
a tie score , 6 to 6 , Iowa scoring with
two drop kicks and Nebraska by a
touchdown nnd goal. Iowa excelled In
speed , Fee playing a fine game and
Hyland standing as a constant menace
with his drop kicking. Nebraska wan
strong In the line , but handled punts
poorly nnd failed utterly until the
secona half In tackling runners. The
chief thing to which the failure of
Nebraska to win Is ascribed as the
lack of a satisfactory quarterback.
Three were used during the game.
The game was nil In favor of Iowa
except about ten minutes , during
which Nebraska braced wonderfully
nnd carried the ball tbe length of th *
field for n touchdown.
