He knew that the other night the High School cadets gave a reception to the senior class In Chambers' hall and thought perhaps Chambers' debtors had been as retiring as his own. So he went to Justice Cook und swore out a wilt of attachment for the gate receipts nt the driv ing park vesterduy.

Maud Vcrricr Dies from the Effects of Mor- pliino Poisoning. NO CAUSE KNOWN FOR HER SUICIDE Dead Olrl W n Nurte at the W , C. A. Ilonpltnl nnd Her Helntloiic So I'nr HR Knovrn Were 1'lcnnant with All. Maud Vcrrler , the nurse at the Woman's hrlstlan association hospital who took mor- .hlne Wednesday night , died yesterday morning at 4 30 o'clock. For nine hours eventecn physicians and assistants worked iy her bedside , keeping her breathing by lOrklng her arms and body In the usual , ay. They look turns , one set of workers sing worn out at the end of about five minutes and giving way to anothJr set.The lectors state that she must have taken a ery heavy dose , and at 4 30 her breathing topped , In spite of all artificial means that ad been used to keep It up. Her motive In committing the rash act s as much a mystery as It ever was. Mrs. , 'erricr , the mother of the dead girl , arrived rom Grand Island at 11 30 a. m , and the Irst thing done was to open the letter her aughter had l ft for her In the hope that t would afford an explanation. To the dls- ppolntment of those connected with the In- million , It contained nothing. In the shape if an explanation , and did not even allude o any Intention on her part of committing ulclde U was mer-ly such a letter as any laughter might write to her absent mother. Irs. Verrlcr was almost craved with grlet at ho sad occurrence. Coroner Jennings decided that an Inquest as unncessary. and the remains were In- : erred last evening at 7 o'clock. , brief serv- cea being held at the hospital , Itev. J. n. llinpton of draco Episcopal church offlcla- Ing. The hospital authorities are of the be- lef that the girl must have had some trouble weighing upon her mind. Her mother has Ju t been securing a divorce from her hus band , and the domestic difficulties which It necessary might have had some thing to do with It If th' slrl had any male friends none of the hospital ladles were awaic of the fact. List Monday she ordered a new dress of a dressmaker on High street. It was to be of black , with whits cults , collar and belt. When she told Mrs. Moore , the natron , of It the latter told her she did not hlnk It would be becoming. "Oh. " said he girl , "It would look all right ; I shall \ear lots of flowers on the bosom. I want It o that 1 can wear It next Sunday. " She gave Mrs. Moore the name , street and number of the dressmaker , which vvas In Itself a strange thing for her to do. Mrs. Moore did not take the pains to recollect anything more than the name of the street , as she did not suppose it would make any difference to her U now looks as though she had contemplated suicide when she or- d'red the dress , and Intended It for a shroud , telling the matron where It could be found when she vvas unable to get It herself. ATHLETIC lllUlt SLIIOOI , IAL > " . 'Iclil Duy Proven n Howling Sncceis from ICverv Point of Mo\r. The High School cadets planned and car ried Into execution yesterday a field day that did them great credit. The sports took place at the driving park In the afternoon and the amphitheater never contained a more Interested or Interesting crowd. The High school girls were out In full force , each ono with her special hero or heroes , and that jartlcular part of the landscape was all over In spots , smiling or frowning according as one hero or another did him self proud or did himself up , The parents and friends of the bo > s were all there , and a neat piece ot athletic work vvas greeted every time with a burst of applause. A conservative estimate had the total amount realized from the affair over $150 , which , considering that field day is an entirely new departure , Is considered doing very well. The events passed o f without any acci dents. In the three-legged race Williams and Black and Martin nnJ Johnson tried the hardness of the track , and dug their respcctlvo noses Into the dirt to a depth of several Inches. They disfigured the course some , but as far as their own In juries were concerned , they took them phil osophically , and teemed to regret nothing e\cc/pt that they were unable to hit the scratch first. Ono of the most Interesting events was the two-mllo blcyclo race. At the end ol the first lap Mulliolland held first place and kept It up until Hearing the last quarter , when both Saylcs and Stoddard passed him and came In a few feet ahead In a rapid sprint. Some amusement was caused the spectators by the appearance of Fred Par sons at the opening of the race on or old-fashioned ordinary wheel , dressed In the garb of o Kansas farmer. Ho managed tt make ono mileIn a trifle less tlmo than the others made two , and came In with flying colors and a burst of his own applause. The competitive drill by the cadets was the crowning feature of the day's entertainment. Two prizes were offered for each event , o gold and silver medal.

The Echcmo adopted by the High school 'acuity ' of limiting the number of tickets o commencement exercises sold to each purchaser to ten has proved an Ignominious failure , so far as it vvas Intended to prevent the speculation that has taken place In for mer years.

As a piece of mismanagement , the attempt of the school authorities to prevent speculation was a unique success.

( Special Tele gram ) Judge Spurrlc today put the finish ing touches on the decree against the further exlstenc ! of saloons in this city or county , and saloonlsts vvlll continue In the business at their peril. An effort was made by the attorneys for the saloon men to ret a stay of proceedings for sixty or nlnetv davs until another agreed cas * could be heard by the supreme coart. This vvas denied by Judge Spurrier , who said In part. "It Is claimed that the entering of the decree prepared In this case would work Irr'parable Injury to the defendant and inasmuch as about thlrtv other CHB-S are by agreement to be disposed of by a like decree , that the loss of propsrty would not b : confined to the keepers of saloons , but would extend to the landlords who have rented their premises for BUCI ! purposes. I certainly have no desire to sign a form of decree that would wantonly destroy the rights or property of any Indi vidual ; nnd with a full appreciation and due regard for the rights ot all persons con cerned , such decree will be entered is I feel I an ! bound to give , considering all the circumstance : , the law and my official duty "The sufficiency of the statement of con sent was assailed and has been constantly questioned In this court , EO that to persons who have either been engaged In the sale of Intoxicating liquors or rented property therefor , the determination of that question > y this court cannot bo a surprise. The eglslature has declared that the prohibitory aw Is still In force In this state , and unless a majority ot the qualified voters of a munici pality shall sign a petition to suspend the > enalty of the prohibitory law the sale of In- oxlcatlng liquors as a beverage is a crime ind offense against that law and punishable n this court " It Is probable the attorneys for the saloon uen will go before the supreme court for a writ of supcrsedeas against Judge Spurrier's leclsion.

The accident occurred at the farm ot Uarncj Corrlpan , about two miles west on Q strc ° t. Mike Smith rents the ie' , but Corrlgin was having a well dug and had entered Into a contract with Henry LiiK'ch and Prokcp to dig until they struck water. They were paid 75 cents per foot for the work. For the first fifty feet the sides of the well wcr ? protected by heavy planks and In all respects the job was a first class one , No gas of any kind was noticed until Wednesday afternoon when Lugsch's lamp went out and he had to come to the surface for a breath of air. A big bellows was pressed Into icrvlce and a line of hose laid to the bottom of the well through which air was pumped all the time a man wao work ing jesterday. AEout 11 o'clock Lugsch , who wai handling the windlass , talked with Prokop , who was at the bottom ot the well , and everj thing seemed to bo all right In about flva minutes after Prokop fell over ind could not bo roused Not knowing Just what was the matter Lugsch tied n rope ibout his waist and was lowered to the bet tom. Upon reaching there he saw that the man was dead and tried to tie a rope about him In order to g ° t him up Before he could do this he was overcome by the gas and fell forward on his face , badly bruising his forehead. As quickly as possible Lugsch was hoisted to the surface and water thrown In his face After resting for a time ho made another attempt to rescue his 'friend , but with the same result , only this tlmo he was hauled up unconscious. Two more attempts were made by a work man to go down to git the body , but wlien down n dlslince of fifty feet th' gas became s strong that It was Impossible to get any further. A lighted lantern was then lowered but when it was down some distance It went out This was tried a dozen times or more Each time the light went out before It had been lowered over six feet. It Is more than likely that a vein was struck In the digging and the gas flowed Into the well all at once Later in the afternoon , and whlls waiting for a coroner , a newspaper was lighted and dropped Into the well , but the fire went out before the paper had fallen ten fe t . Chief Brennan went out with a couple of grappling hooks and caughf Prokop's cloth ing In such a way as to get a good hold and drew the body to the surface The de- ceasd llvedint Sixteenth and P streets and leaves "a widow and one child Work on the well was stopped at once and the opening will bo boarded up.
