That thn Heat -VUuiyn the Cheapest Is J'rovt'ti by Figures. The Bee has made a compilation of the amount of matter printed the past week by the thrco leading papers of Nebraska The Bee , the World-Herald and the Lincoln Journal exclusive of commercial news and advertisements. Even were tlio columns of these papers ot the same width and length , and were the matter printed In the same type , the patrons of The Bee would have a creat advantage. In the/ table below Is given the actual measurement of the matter in the three papers by columns , and In the last line Is presented a statement of how the papers compare when measured by the standard columns of The Bee. It is easy to see that the best Is the cheapest. The figures arc as follows : Hot Spring * I : ! < ( trie Mint , HOT SPRINGS , S. D. , March 24.

Franchises are also asked by the Dlack Hills Telegraph and Telephone company and also by some local electricians for franchises to put In a system of telephones at greatly reduced rates. The rates hero will probably not bo more than $2 per month per 'phone , where they were formerly $5 to $7 par month. AKKKNTKH Iff OK 1.4 IIO31.1.

( Special to Tlio Dec. ) Interest In a once celebrated case In Lin coln lias been revived In a somewhat un- nsnnl iniiiincr. The Sliced/ murder Is still frcqli In tlio minds of the people of thin city. Tlio murdered man left n large estate , which line been Involved In litigation ( or Koine time. Mrs. Hliedy wan arrested and tried for complicity In her husband's mur der , but was acquitted after a trial crowded with Kcnsattonnl events. After her iic'liilttnl the brothers of the dead man made u strong effort to pre vent her from enjoying her share of her husband' ) ) estate , and they miccccdcd In part. The property was divided and Mrs. Sliced ? sold her part. She afterwards went to California , where It was reported she had married a man named Ilrust. This wax In the summer of ISM.VliPii the property was sold Messrs. McMurtry , Klsherdlck and Web ster became purchasers , but they have since declined to take the property. Mrs. Shecdy brought suit to compel them to complete the purchase , and right here an Interesting point at law arose. If Mrs. Shecdy had really married Max Drust hl- interest In her prop erty , by right of rortesy , would have to be transferred In order to make good the title. J. II. Webster laid the matter before an attorney at Los Angeles , Oal. , and learned that Mrs. Slieedr had lived with Drust In that city durlnc the summer of 1892 as his wife , but there wns no record of their mar- rlnge. Mr. Webster filed an anidavlt to this effect In the district court this forenoon. An effort will now be made to prove that Mrs. Sheedy has not remarried. SKNTRXCE DAY IX COURT.

( Special to The Bee. ) On March 29 , 1881 , the ladles of Superior meet pursuant to call to organize themselves Into an association to be known as the Ladles' Library association. The town was canvassed for memberships. The first list of books consisted of about 100 volumes of the standard novels , paper bound , the ladles covering them with cloth before Issuing thum. The books were kept In the hallway of the old school house , and the library was open to the public Saturday afternoons. In 1885 the Ladles' Library as sociation was legally Incorporated. In 188C a lot was purchased , and In 1887 a building was erected. Up to this time the trials con sequent upon moving from place to place und the hard work of getting up all kinds of entertainments to meet the expenses , If written , would fill a good-sized volume. At the present time there are 1,400 volumes of works of fiction , travels , history , biography and children's books by the best writers In the library. The uuwciauon owns a 101 near the center of the tiwi and a good building , all free from debt , -and there Is In the treas ury JU2.

( Special to The jCOrim ) board of supervisors by a vote of 10 to C rejected the ditch projects en- , clneered by the Standard Cattle company and In fact all .the propositions for draining the Platte valley. The action has fallen like a wet blanket ever the hopes of the people who have so earnestly advocated a complete system of drainage for the bottoms. Manager Allen of the Standard company declared that ho should personally object to any great sugar beet enterprise the coming season , as ho would not dare take the risk of n wet season and an overflow ot the fields. Ho could not control the. actions of his company In that direction , but he should certainly use his In fluence against any great venture. This has seriously disappointed the laboring element of the city. Last year ever $10,000 was paid to Fremont families who worked In the fields and nearly $25,000 of the money used In the cultivation of the crop was expended In this city. The controversy arrayed the northern part of the county against the southern part , us It would require a very largo amount of thu county general road fund to pay the county's per cent of bene fits to the roads of the territory drained.
