reports in the east. Nebraska is not
afraid of the truth, and can and will
prosper even in the face of a host of
misrepresentations, both at home and
abroad.
We recently heard of a joke perpetrat
ed by Judge Higgins in a case tried be
fore him. Considerable evidence had
been adduced before his honor cs to a
certain cross cat saw in dispute, and at
last the plsintifF brought the saw into
court, on seeing which the judge very
gravely desired to know whether he
desired to file the saw in court. But the
best part of it is that the judge wss
afterwards taken to task for desiring the
party to sharpen the bsw in court.

A carload of candy means sweets for
a good many people, and it is a whole
lot of candy. This amount, which is a
carload, wss manufactured in Columbus
during the last two months by the
Poesoh candy fsctory. This year they
have pushed their out of town business
harder thsn ever with the result thst
tbey hsve made a new record for candy
shipments from Columbus. A few years
ago they thought their business hsd
practically reached the limit, but they
did not count on the popularity of their
product, both at home and in nearby,
towns. Since he started in Columbus
Mr. Poesch hss been gradually enlarg
ing his wholesale business, until this
year it hss compelled his force to burn
midnight oil for two months to fill or
ders. County Superintendent Lecron is
sending out notices to the various school
bosrds of the county regsrding a recent
order issued by the state superintendent.
The lsw provides that school boards
shall levy a ten cent per capita tax for
every child of school age in their dis
tricts, to be used for a library fund. In
some portions of the state this provision
has been ignored, and in order to enforce
the law the state superintendent has is
sued a circular to all county superintend
ents requiring them to withhold the
state apportionment from all districts
who fsil to comply with the library law.
Superintendent Lecron saya that so far
ss Platte county is concerned, the order
ia unnecessary, but he is sending out
tbenotioes to comply with the circular
from the state superintendent.
Last Fridsy Edward Pollard, the 22
year old son of Supervisor Po'lard, met

the animals, thinking it was kicking at a
horse, struck him on the bead and frac
tured his skull. For some time Mr. Pol
lard was unconscious, but soon recov
ered. A physician waa called and he
discovered that it ws necessary to re
move several small portions of the skull
beore the petieBt secured relief. Luck

Before leaving here the statement was

to prove that ehe was not the woman

There was quite a crowd at the depot

ing that those in oharge did not want it
known which train she was to depart on.
At Omaha there waa also quite a orowd

Upon their arrival in St. Louto Satur

over to.the authorittos and placed in the
city jail. The officer in charge said that
she waa shamming her sickness, and tkat
it waa ths result of the morphine she had

William J. Erder, the man ehe to accus

Warren's report showing arsenic hsd
been found in the body of Erder waa
aubmitted.
The jury returned the verdict as fol
lows: "The jury finds that William J. Erder
came to hto death on July 10 by arsenie
poisoning, administered by his wife,
DoraE. Erder, alias Dora E. Doxey,
alias Dora E. Fuller, and that Loren B.
Doxey had guilty knowlegdeof the fact.
Verdiot homicide."
Doxey did not attend the inquest
but the witnesses were taken to the jail.
Her sole reply to her indentification
Dr. Doxey did not testify. Theooc-
oner asked him two questions, to whioh
he ref ussd to reply. He was not sworn
i a witness. Mrs. Kstherine Erder,
mother of the msn Mrs. Doxsy to ac
cused of killing, testified her son became
ill after eating ' a blackberry pie which
his wife had made.
All witnesses before the coroner's jury
were subpoenaed to appear, before the
grand jury tomorrow.
Mrs. L. E. Doxey of Columbus, Neb..
who is sccused of causing Erder'e death
waa not present at the corner's proceed
ings. Dr. Watson, the jsil physicisn,
decided that because of theoold weather
and her weakened condition it would be
unsafe to take her to the coroner's office.
Because of, Mrs.1 Doiey's absence the
witnesses who were depended on to iden
tify her ss Mn. Erder wss taken to the
women'e quarters in the city jsil. There
four other women were plsced on cots
like that occupied by Mrs. Doxsy.
With one exception all the witnesses
idedtified Mrs. Doxey ss having been
known to them as Mm. W. J. Erder.
The identification were made by nine
men and five women. Among the latter
was Mtos Kate Erder. stoterofthe dsad
man, but Mm. Doxsy gave no-sign that
ehe recognised the woman whose efforts
to clear up Erder'a death resulted ia her
imprisonment.
After five of the witnesses had pro
nounced her to be the Mrs. Erder, Mrs.
Doxey was asked:
, "Are these witnesses mistaken aa to
your identity?" .
"They most emphatically are." waa
the reply with considerable vigor. Then
as another witness was ssoortsd into the
room Mm Doxey saak back on her pil
