POSSE PURSUE MURDERERS
Heroic Measures Likely to, Taken
en the Malefactor if Over
handed by Hounds.
Weeping Water Suspecting- that
Nightwatchman C. A. Ralston was
going to arrest them one of the two
men thought to be the robbers of the
Manley bank, five miles from here,
shot and instantly killed the officer
about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Immediately the community was
aroused and every man who could se
cure a weapon and. a horse started in
pursuit of the murderers; the sheriff
made a fast drive from Plattsmouth in
an automobile, bringing bloodhounds
with him; officers In Lincoln were no
tified to bring hounds and come here
as well as go to stations northwest
of here In which direction the mur
derers went after shooting Ralston.
The Platte river bridges are also being
guarded and the man hunt has been
taken up with such vigor and deter
mination that it seems almost impos
sible that the murderers can escape.
Cass county is a network of tele
phones. The lines have all been busy
and the towns of Wabash, Elmwood,
Eagle, Murdock, Alvo, South Bend
Ashland, Louisville and others have
been notified.
Feeling is so intense that only the
cool heads of the prominent business
men in the searching party will pre
vent a lynching should the men be ap
prehended. The murdered nightwatchman Is a
member of prominent families and has
lived in Weeping Water almost since
boyhood. He was a terror to evil
doers and a very brave man. The men
who committed the deed stopped all
night at the Riverside hotel. They
registered as Charles Selders and Ar
thur Munster and took breakfast
there, eating dinner just before the
murder. They came here looking like
bums, but left wearing good clothes of
a dark color and soft black hats.
They are about five feet ten or eleven
inches in height and one was slightly
stooped, one weighing about 160
pounds, while the other was thinner
and weighed about 140 pounds.
From the hotel they went up the
track to the coal chutes and behind
the cars Ralston met them and they
fired one shot, killing him Instantly.
He fell on his face In the cinders.
The section foreman heard the shots
and saw the men running away. He
went to investigate and found the
night watchman dying. Previous to
going up the tracks Ralston was talk
ing with a detective seut here to look
up the Manley .bank robbery and the
detective told him to keep an eye on
these men. In less than fifteen min
utes Ralston was killed. Blood
hounds are also on the road here from
Lincoln.
Charley Ralston is one of the best
known men in central Cass county
and connected with prominent fam
ilies of Weeping Water. He had been
night watchman at two different
times, covering a period altogether of
about ten years. He is a brother of
(Alfred Ralston, former butcher and
: cattle buyer.

Rapid City, S. D. Two horse
thieves, named Harvey and Johnson,
escaped from the jail at Oacoma in
Lyman county Wednesday night and
later while being re-arrested by the
sheriff one of the malefactors was shot
dead. It seems that Harvey and
Johnson had stolen a team of horses,
wagon and harness at Dallas and were,
overtaken by the officers and placed in
the jail at Oacoma. With the aid of a
stove lifter and some lumps of coal
they pried and pounded a hole In the
roof of the jail and escaped.

THE STATE CAPITAL
MATTERS OP INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
MURE STATE FAIR BUILDHJ6S
Secretary Mellor Starts Campaign for
Stock Pavilion and Grand Stand
en the Fair Grounds.
Will Ask For $100,000.
Secretary W. R. Mellor of the state
board of agrlcuture is planning to ask
the next legislature for $100,000 for.
'a large stock pavilion on the state fair
grounds. The board of agriculture is
now gathering information relative to
the cost and size of a building suit
able for that purpose. An appropria
tion of $100,000 will be needed if a
building similar to .those used In other
western states Is erected. Secretary
Mellor also desires to start a new
steel grand stand for the track, but
is not positive that the legislature will
be asked to appropriate money for
the stand. A live stock pavilion is
greatly needed, the little structure
now used for that purpose being too
small and Is now used only for show
ing horses. The cattle were shown
in a tent at the last fair.
Missouri spent $70,000 for a stock
pavilion and Minnesota paid $110,000
for one without seats. A steel grand
stand of reinforced concrete construc
tion, made in accordance with the lat
est plans, with a seating capacity of
12,000, would cost $150000.
The Iowa state board'wants to build
a larger stock- pavilion and a steel
grandstand. Secretary J. C. Simpson,
accompanied by President Cameron
of the Iowa board, took an achitect
with them on a recent trip to examine
structures at the Michigan fair
grounds, and the Canadian national
exposition at Toronto and examined
a steel grandstand at Belmore, N. Y.,
Secretary Simpson, writing to Secre
tary Mellor, said:
"I think the Nebraska state fair
has a great future. I have heard much
complimentary mention made of your
fair from exhibitors and visitors alike.
With the growing attendance which
you have at your fair, it would be my
opinion that you would want a stand
seating capacity at the present time
of from 8,000 to 10,000, and left in such
a way that you could add to it later.
"As you probably know, the stock'
pavilion on our grounds is much too
small for our purpose, and if building
at this time there are quite a few
changes which we would make in the
construction. Each of the stock build
ings which we have erected since ours
has been improved upon. Our build
ing is an exact reproduction of the
one on the Illinois state fair grounds
and was buit the following year. Next
Missouri built one then Minnesota.
Wisconsin, Indiana and Kentucky at
Louisville. I think the pavilion on
the Indiana state fair grounds at In
dianapolis is probably the most per
fect of any that has been constructed.
It cost them in the neighborhood of
$100,000 to $110,000. Our building was
built in 1902 and cost about $45,000.
The outside dimensions are 175x225,
the ring being 120x170. The main
thing we have to complain of in our
building is that the seatine capacity is
not half large enough. We contem
plate at some future date adding an
other 100 feet in the length of this
building, taking down the outside
walls and rebuilding them to increase
the seating capacity."
Andreas vs. Jensen.
District Judge Stewart rendered
judgment in the case of Fred Andreas
vs. Louis Jensen et al. Andreas is
the man who furnished the cut stone
for the Temple building and Jensen
was the contractor who built the struc
ture. Plaintiff sued for $7,663.07, less
the amount of freight which had been
paid by defendant on stone, alleging
that Jensen had failed to pay him that
balance due on material furnished in
compliance with the contract between
them. Jensen in his answer set up the
allegation that he had been greatly
damaged by delay in delivering the
stone and specified the different ways
in which he had sustained damage.
Judge Stewart finds that there is due
the plaintiff from the defendant the
sum of $4,095.68 and that there was
due the defendant from the plaintiff
on the various items set out in his
cross petition the sum of $x,434.50;
that there Is therefore now due plain
tiff from defendant the sum of $2,661.
18, with interest amounting to $325.99,
.making a total of $2,987.17.
City Attorney Wants Help.
City Attorney Stewart Is anxious
for the city council to give him an
other asssitant whose sole duties wiM
be to look after the police court busi
ness. It was expected the mattrr
would be decided by the council, but
it wasn't. In fact, the proposition is
being generously opposed.
Talk of Commission Plan.
Lincoln is much impressed with the
proposition of having a city govern
ment by commission and an enthu
siastic meeting of business men was
held to discuss the matter. Several
delegations have been to Des
Moines and other places and brought
back reports favorable to the commis
sion plan. A member of the Des
Moines commission government was
the guest of honor at the dinner at
the Lincoln hotel and told of the sat
isfactory working of the plan at the
Iowa capital.
Wants the Money Back.
The United States Fidelity and
Guaranty company in a case against
Henry F. Schaden of Nebraska City in
the federal court, Is now seeking to
secure a judgment for money which
they paid on a bond when Schaden
was held liable for haviner debauched
g husband of Mrs. Rebecca Bond,

Chapman, of Nebraska City, who was

of Mrs. Bond's was Instituted. The

THE REMEDY WAS EASY.
The doctor had told her she had no
organic trouble and the cure rested
with herself. She had doctored and
dragged for years, so, learning this
good news, she determined to try a
new plan.
Here is what she did:
She cut out all medicine.
She stopped dieting; that is, she
tested things till she found those that
agreed with her, and ate of them
freely.
She ate slowly, laughing and talk
ing much in the process.
She gave up violent exercise, but
took a brisk walk each day.
She took a cold sponge bath each
morning, going back to bed for five
minutes afterward before beginning to
dress.
She gave herself massages of the
abdominal, chest and throat muscles
for five minutes, morning and even
ing. She stopped overstraining her mind.
When her head or eyes began to feel
tired she rested them.
She neglected to worry and culti
vated her amusing friends.
In a month she was well.
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used: In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
mg quality of the goods. This trou
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

seventy-first birthday a short time
ago. She is still connected with the
school, where she does the work of
three people. Beginning with a hand
ful of girls, the school has grown un
til at present the enrollment is con
siderably more than 100. It numbers
among its grauates some of the best
known women in the Japanese empire,
several of whom traveled many miles
to show their respect and gratitude
to their old teacher at her birthday.
Starch, like everything else, is be
ing constantly improved, the patent
Starches put on the market 25 years
ago are very different and inferior to
those of tho present day. In the lat
est discovery Defiance Starch all in
jurious chemicals are omitted, while
the addition of another ingredient, in
vented by us, gives to the Starch a
strength and smoothness never ap
proached by other brands.
Australia's First Theater.
k The first recorded production of a
play in Australia took place in June
of the year 1789. It was called "The
Recruiting Officer." The proceeds of
the first pay night (some $20) went
to the family of a man who had been
drowned. In January, 1796, a rough
and ready playhouse was opened and
the public had to pay one shilling a
head for admission. The payments
were made in kind, wheat, flour or
rum taking the place of the usual
currency.
The Silkworm.
The silkworm, which spins or pro
duces silk threads, was a native of
China. For thousands of years the
Chinese-would not allow the eggs of
the silkworm to go out of the country.
About 550, two monks are said to have
brought to Europe a few eggs hidden
in their canes. Now it is quite domes
ticated and has been so long fed by
man that the female is as nearly mo
tionless as if she had no wings, and
the male merely flutters without leav
ing the ground.

The Carat.
This tiny standard of weight, al
though not one person in a million
ever makes practical use of it, pos
sesses great prestige because of its
connection with diamonds and other
precious stones. But how many read
ers have any clear Idea of the weight
represented by a carat. In England it
is customary to reckon 151 carats
to the ounce, Troy. This makes th
carat equivalent to 205.3 milligrams, or
3.1683 grains. An attempt is now be
ing made to secure general recognition
in all countries of a metric standard
carat of 200 milligrams.
Advancement in Turkey.
The new Turkish minister of educa
tion says: "We have compulsory edu
cation at present, but we lack pri
mary schools. We shall establish
them. We shall develop the existing
higher education. The study ef his
tory will now be allowed. We want
a regime of liberty, and particularly
of liberty of the press, even with all
the evils it means, for it is a neces
sary evil."
California's Trees Very Old.
The great trees of California, it has
ben said began life before the earli
est dawn of Chinese history, and at
the time of the deluge were older than
the art of printing from type is today.
Prof. Charles E. Bessey, however, con
tends that even 2.000 years is a great
over-estimate, actual ring count of a
tree 25 feet in diameter having Indi
cated only 1,147 years.
Bad Climate for .-urntture.
China is a bad place for furniture.
In the summer months it is so damp
that furniture put together with glue
falls apart and drawers sticlr, while In
the dry months furniture goes to tho
other extreme and often exhibits
cracks half an inch wide.
Australian Country Homes.
In the Blue mountains, three hours
from Sydney, are many beautiful
country Louses, mostly bungalows
with wide verandas all round, where
Sydney people fly in February and
March to get away from the heat cf
the city by the harbor.
Peru Adopts Standard Time.
By a decree of the government of
Peru, issued by President Pardo, the
time of the seventy-fifth meridian west
of Greenwich was on July 28 adopted
as the national standard time for tho
whole of Peru. The meridian is only
a few minutes from that of Lima, and
runs almost exactly through the mid
dle of the country. All timepieces
throughout Peru will now coincide
with those in the United States where
eastern time Is kept. Peru Is the first
South American republic to adopt the
world standard.
THE LAST PHASE.
A rarer patriot, perhaps, Is he who
is willing to be shot to pieces for his
Ho is bo doubt a patriot who taies
off his hat whenever the band plays
the lugubrious national anthem.
But rarest of all Is the patriot who
wishes so ardently for the safety of
his country that he will not be dls -f
gruntled when it Is saved by the othes '
fellow's formulary.
A careful survey of the political
field discovers the usual conspicuous
absence of this variety of potriot.
