DOUBLE DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
Elmer . Green Cse His Gun With Tell
ing KSect at Bellevue.
Bellevue, Neb. Aug. 9. After at
tempting t murder his wife Cora and
supposing that he had succeeded in do
ing so, Elmer E. Green, a resident of
Goldneld, Colo., last evening blew out
his own brains here. The bullet which
he fired into himself consmnniated the
desired result, but the murderous pellet
he discharged into the body of his wife
was far less deadly. The woman has a
good chance of recovery.
The attempted murder and suicide
was the result of domestic estrangement
and futile .efforts on the part of- Green
to secure a reconciliation with his wife.
The two lived together in Goldfield,
Colo., until last March, when for some
reason not learned Mrs. Green left her
husband. She came to Bellevue and
made her home with her sister, Mrs.
Cora Baker.
little is known of the causes that led
to the sepention between husband and
wife, except that they were of a domes
tic character. They had two children,
both of whom are living with Greens
parents at Lenora, Kan. c
Thirteenth Week ef Oshkosh Strike.
OsHKOSH,Aug. 9. The strikingwood
workers here were deprived of a leader

executed by the millmen. Thomas I.
Kidd, the recognized leader of the strik
ers, was arrested a second time Satur
day night and kept in custody over Sun
day, thereby preventing him from at
tending the usual Sunday labor meeting
and advising the strikers as to the next
step to be taken by them. The arrest
was made on a civil action for damages
brought by the Paine Lumber company
in connection with the strike and subse
quent riots. c This is the 13th week of
the strike', and with1 few exceptions the
strikers' ranks are still unbroken. .

Murh Speculation a to Contents of the
Xeasace Sonte Questions Left Opeu.,
Washington, Aug. 9. The reply -of
'the Spanish government to the peace
conditions laid down by the United?
States was received bv the French am-:
bassador, M. Cambon, shortly before 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The reply
came in sections, t!io dispatch first re
ceived giving only the opening passages
of 'the Spanish reply. A few minutes
later another dispatch brought a second
section and these ktiftt coming uninter
ruptedly by a procession of messengers
until seven sections of the Spanish reply
had been received at 10 minutes of 4,
when the la.st part was" still to arrive.
In the meantime the 'cipher experts
were at work and by 4:30 o'clock they
were abreast of all that portion of the
replj- received up to.that time and there
was a lull of some time pending the ar
rival of the concluding portions. It
was thought a terrific rainstorm, which
swept over Washington about 4 o'clock
might have occasioned delay of -the
remainder.
Speculation as to Reply.
Pending the official delivery of the
answer speculation was life as to its
contents. There was little or no .fur
ther doubt that the length of the reply
meant that Spain had not given a
simple and' direct aflimative to 'the
American conditions. It was evident
that if the reply was an acceptance, it
was accompanied by "extended discus
sion and probably by conditions.. This
caused considerable apprehension in
official circles here, for while it was
felt last week that Spain would surely
yield in every particular, it began to be
felt that possibly there might be an
other period of discussion and possibly
an indirect attempt to open up adiplo
matic exchange on the nature of the
terms. The prevailing view however,
was that the reply was on its face an
acceptance, although not such a one as
precluded all possibility of further dis
cussion. -All vital points were believed
to be conceded the abandonment of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Ladroues
and the establishment of a commission
to pass upon questions relating to the
Philippines. In the carrying out of this
program it was believed, that Spain
would seek to secure an understanding
on many incidental points involved,
some of them of considerable import
ance. For instance, some doubt was raised
as to whether Spain's acceptance would
be operative until referred to and rati
fied by the Spanish corras, and it was
understood that the reply might call'
attention to this condition. . The same
condition, it was pointed out, exists as
to the United .States for a peace rreaty
requires the ratification of the senate to
become operative. In case Spain's ans
wer discussed, these 'incidental points
there promised to be wide ' latitude for
controversy, and delay uuless the presi
dent and cabinet declined to enter the
field of discussion. .
Late in the afternoon the president
received an indirect intimation that the
Spanish reply had come to "the French
embassy. A cabinet officer who was
with him at this time, said on leaving:
Several Questions Left Open.
"The information that nas come from
Madrid aboufc the action of the Spanish
cabinet indicates the Spanish have ac
cepted our terms in a general way, but
leaves several, questions open that we
did not include in the terms .submitted.
The communication offering those terms
was explicit, specifically stating such
points as would be left open to farther
negotiations. Wc.will stand ou these
terms."
The administration has not yet given
serious consideration to the personnel
of the peace commission, but it can be
stated that no one not in accord with
the president's present views as 'to the
disposal of the Philippines will be ap
pointed, and McKinley favors keeping
at least Manila harbor and sufficient
territory around it for. its support and
protection, if not the whole of Luzon
island. As to members of the cabiiiot
as members of the commission, there
are precedents for their appointment,
notably the treaty of Ghent.
The concluding portion of the Spanish
reply was received during the evening
but it was not until a late hour that
it was deciphered as a whole and gone
over by the ambassador. No effort was
made to communicate it to the United
States government last night beyond' a
note to Secretary Day advising hhu
that the document had been received
but not disclosing its contents.3 There
iscomplete reticence in all quarters as
-to the text of the reply, but there Is
reason to believe it is not an unqualified
acceptance of the American terms, but
is framed on the theory of accepting the
essentials and trusting to a hoped-for
conciliatory spirit on the part of this
government to moderate to some extent
features which the Spanish government
seemsto regard as unessentials.
r"
Talk of lay Resigning.
Washington, Aug. 9. The published
report of the intention of Secretary
Day to resign the office of secretary of
state upon the termination of the pres
ent war, is based on statements made
at the time he assumed office to the ef
fect that he would consent to hold it
but a short time: No official utterance
as to the secretary's purpose is now ob
tainable and Secretary Day himself de
clines to make any statement on the
subject, so it cannot be ascertained pos-
itively whether or not the period of
time which he had in mind as to the
length of his service when he assumed
office has about expired.

"was received by Adjutant General Cor
bin last night from Colonel Hjnniphrey,
in charge of the transportation arrange
ments at Santiago, (hat the Spanish
hospital ship Ahjcante sailed from there
yesterday with 800 of the Spanish pris
eaers for Spain. , Is is supposed that

CHANGES IN THE NAVY.
Sigsbee RelieTes Philip, Who

:
BABEEB TO COMMAND OREGON.
'Captain Goodrich of the Aaxillafjr Crniser
St. Loais Has Been Ordered - to Take
Charge or the Newark, Commodore
Watson's Flagship Third Wrecking
Expedition Sails For Santiago,
. Washington, Aug. 9. Two import
ant changes in the command of vessels
of the navy were announced lasf even
ing by.Secretary Long. Captain Charles
D. Sigsbee, who commanded the battle
ship Maine when she met her fate in
.the harbor of, Havana, and who has
been in command of "the auxiliary.
cruiser St. rum since tne war Degan,
has been ordered0 to relieve Captain
John W. Philip of the command of the
battleship -Texas, now undergoing re
pairs in New York. ocIt is 'understood
CAPTAIN SIG5BES.
that Captain Philip will be assignedto.
shore duty, probably the command of
the Mare Island navy yard at San Fran
cisco. Secretary Long announced also that
Captain Caspar F. Goodrich, of the
auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, had been
ordered to the command of the Newark,
Commodore Watson's new flagship, to
succeed Captain Albert S. Barker, who
has been transferred to the Oregon ou
account of the illness of Captain Charles
E. Clark.
It is regarded by the naval authorities
as, particularly fitting' that Captain
Sigsbee should be given command of
the Texas. The Maine and the Texas
were first battleships of the new Amer
ican navy, both having been provided
for by congress in the same appropria
tion bill. Both vessels were.constrncted
by the government in accordance with
government plans and under the super
vision of naval officers, the Maine at the
New York navy yard and the Texas
at the Norfolk navy yard. For years
the Texas was looked upon as the most
unfortunate vessel in the navy. Her
fine work in Cuban water, especially
during the engagement which ended in
the destruction of Admiral Cervara s
squadron, has dispelled this feeling and
at the same time proved the wisdom of
her constructors.
Wrecking Expedition Sails.
Norfolk, Va., Aug. 9. The third
Merritt-Chapman wrecking expedition
left here yesterday for Santiago. It
consisted of the steamer Plymouth,
with complete wrecking outfit; the
schooner barge F. R. Sharp, with -three
complete outfits; the wrecking steamer
W. E. Chapman, carrying 40 wreckers,
divers and engineers under command of
Captain Charles L. Nelson, and towing
four immense pontoons, two being 100
feet long 1C feet wide and 13 feet deep,
and two (JO feet long, 13 feet wide and
12 feet deep. The four combined havo
a lifting capacity of about 3,200 tons.
This is believed to be the largest wreck
ing expedition that ever left the United
States. The voyage will probably take
10 days or two weeks.
BIG BLAZE AT BISMARCK.
Fire DeUrojrs the Vest Portion of the City
In a Short Time.
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 9. Fire de
stroyed the best portion of the city of
Bisma'fk last evening, licking np hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
property. The flames originated in the
agent's office of the Northern Pacific
depot. Almost before they were discov
ered the entire building and the im
mense warehouse of the company were
in flames. Oils and powder contributed
fuel and before the flames could be
checked they had spread to the block of
brick buildings across the alley, destroy
ing the Tribune office, Hare's hardware
6toreand an entire row of buildings.
The flames then leaped the street to the
magnificent First National bank build
ing, which melted away in a few min
utes. The Central block followed and
the flames spread to the postoffice, sweep
ing over the entire block and carrying
down the postoffice, Merchants' bank
blockV Griffin block and all the inter
mediate frame and brick structures.
The fire then spread across and de
voured Kupitz store and the greater
part of the block. The flames also
spread north into a residence block, and
completely destroyed it. Firemen were
powerless to check the inroads of the
fire, which spread to scores of buildings,
licking them up as so much waste paper.
The origin of the fire is unknown, as no
one was in the freight office when it
started.
Every drug store in the city is de
stroyed and all the groceries but two or'
three, also two newspaper officeavand
the great bulk of the business portion
of the city, with several blocks of resi
dences. Many people are homeless.'
The Sheridan house had a narrow es
cape, but was saved. The line of fire
extended from the Northern Pacific
tracks to Thayer street on the north and
Fourth to Third streets on the east and
west. Insurance may cover half the
loss.
Firemen Have n Grievance.

has been conferring 'with the employes
of the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
relative to their grievances with tho
company. The conferences have been
held' at. Ashley and have been secret,
Mr. Wilson has admitted that the com
pany had made' concessions the past few
days and might possibly make some
more. One concession was to 'reduce
the weight of trains to 2,000 tons. The
employes have confidence that Mr. Wil
son will bring about an amicable settle
ment, Sale ef Boat Park Jload.
Dexvek, Colo., Aug, 9, The sale of
the Denver, Leadville and Gunnison

Aug. 16 as would be inferred -from
the wording of the decree entered in
the United States court. Thereorgan
'ixation committee of the Gulf railway
is given until Aug. 16 to redeem the
road and then advertising the sale will
tiegin. It will probably be the middle
of September before the road is sold.

Mrs. Herring and sons expect to shell
1,000 bushels of corn today.
There! It was a brand new girl at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John Currie, and
it arrived Moaday of last week.
The honey bees have been putting up
large quantities of sweets since the rain.
It began to look serious for them until
tho rain; now there is no fear.
Wm. Drinuin of Williamsfield, 111.,
after spending a few days here with his
brother, returned home Monday, feeling
that Nebraska has not been over esti
mated. There'are very few plums to be had
this year, and unlees potatoes can be
shipped in here, they will be a good
price. The crop here ib certainly not a
good one.
The rain of Friday night was a glori
oub one, 3 1-2 inches falling during the
night, but the corn was bo far injured
oy arj weamer, wmie gruos ana cnincn
bugs, that one-half a crop is all that is
visible now.
While threshing grain'at Will Ernst's
last Friday Mr. Erast met with an acci
dent' While engaged in cutting bands,
the knife slipped in some way and made
an ugly cut in one of his fingers, and
then a member of the threshing crew
was injured in the hand by coming in
contact with the cylinder while feeding.
The machine belonged to the Binder &.
Smith crew. ,
The ground is in 'excellent condition
for fall plowing, and Fred Stenger (who
will certainly have to take second place
in raising winter wheat this year, as Mr.
Bachman who works the Rhode farm has
finished threshing, and reports a yield
of 28 bushels to the acre;) commenced
plowing (preparatory to trying.it again)
Saturday morning, with foqro strong
teams. Look out for Fred next time.

The people who get something for
almost nothing, don't always take a
farmer's note, bnt sornetirnes'collect the
cash down from0 merchants, and Dlay the
confidence game on a publishing eatab
liahment Aa for instance, this, from
the Fremont Tribune
Word has been sent up from Lincoln
that the man who has been soliciting ad
vertising for the Epworth League pro
gram under the name of J. W. Davis
has had no authority, from the promot-
era fef the aasfltnblv. When this came
to light it was. imawdiatelv seen that&
some of Fremont's firms had been via
Utilised. The man who came here over
a week; ago began his work in a very
business-like way. He solicited adver
tising for a so-called program of the Bp'
worth League assembly,, at Lincoln and
succeeded in getting about fifteen or
twenty merchants to take spaces. He
got a printing office in the city to-do his
work giving them the contracts made
by the advertisers as security for 'pay
ment. He got a proof of the program,
took it around and collected money of
the advertisers without giving them,
back their contracts thereby fleecing
both the printer and, the merchants.
He vanished as soon ;i3 he had all the
money which he could reasonably expect.
It'has been, unearthed by the special
corps of Pinkerton detectives employed
exclusively by the Leader, that several
business men of Cleirwater were a short
time ago victimized "by accepting money
issued by the so-called and defunct con
federate States of America'. Purchases
were made for small sums, and the bal
ance received in change of full legal
tender value, and the culprit; was acci
dentaly discovered' and Kiade ( good the
loss. As he waB quite yonng and was
led to act through the influence of older
persons, the matter was hushed up and.
not even the name of the' young man
was made public Neligh Leader.
We always like to give lister counties
credit for all there is in them for even
then it does not detract from the great
ness.of our. owu county. We take the
following c from Tuesday's Bee. "Burt
county is not only a first-class county
agriculturally but it has produced some
great men. Until two or three years ago
Daniel Webster lived on a farm nearTc
kaniab. John Tyler is at present one of
the supervisors of the county. It may
also be surprising to know, that Roscoe
Conkling lives at Tekntuah while Ulysses
S. Grant abides on the reservation north
of Lyons. John Hancock was formerly
a school teacher.near Craig" while John
Brown is not mouldering in the 'grave
as is erroneously supposed but is alive
and well and an esteemed citizen o,tho"
county." Blair Pilot.
' One of the chief values of a newspaper
these times consists in the suggestions
it may contain in regard to tho many
frauds who are working "easy" citizens
for unearned dollars, to continue lives
that onght to bo utterly changed' for
their own good, and the good of. the
world at large. Among the frauds' that
are now at work in Nebraska (although
it is an old trick they play) .the Seward
Blade mentions: "A couple of- aharp
ers have been traveling over thonountry,
claiming to represent a medical insti
tute in Chicago, where they claim won
ders can be performed in curing all sorts
of diseases that other physicians can
not touch. They put up a slick talk,
produce a contract 'and finally wind up
with a note for their victim to sign, for
$100 to $200 or more, as the case may
bo. While they impress it upon the
mind of their victim that it is a matter
of "no cure no pay," they get his note
and then cash it at some bank and he
finally has it to pay. All such people
aro swindlers of tho rankest' kind, and
whoever has anything to do with them
is sure to be swindled.
