"I can truthfully say the result has far

hearty, well, and can run and play as
other children do. I am trying an exper

DEATH RECORD.
Ainu Who nincil rintUmoii'li.
ASHLAND, Neb.. Feb. 20. (Special.) Hon.
Rraud Cole, ono of the earliest settlers of
eastern Nebraska and well known through
out Cass and Saunders counties, died Mon
day night at 10:20 o'clock at tho Centrnl
hotel In Ashland. A few days previous ho
had returned from a sanitarium nt Lin
coln, whero ho was taking treatment for
catarrh ot the stomach, which caused his
death, at the ago ot 76 years.
B. Cole was born In Pickaway cotinty.Ohlo,
September 20, 1824. In 1831 ho moved to
Lee county, Iowa, roturnlng two yenrs later
to Ohio, whero he was married to Han let
Rruner. Ho remained In his Iowa homo
until 1834 when, early In tho year, ho
sold his property nnd moved to tho terri
tory of Nebraska. IIo stopped nt Council
Illurfs, In., during the summer of that year,
entering Nebraska In the autumn, settling
on tho Wnlkor farm, two miles southwest
of I'lattsmouth where, In 1857, ho set out
the first extensive orchard In the state,
containing 2,000 acres. In the same year
he pre-empted nn additional 160 ncres of
land. About this time serious trouble be
gan growing out of tho conflicting claims of
tho settlers. To facilitate tho nmlcablo
settlement of such disputes Mr. Cole sug
gested thn formation of a "claim club,'!
which was acted upon and ho was elected
secretary. During Its exlstonco It formed
an Important factor In tho peaceful set
tlement of disputes and difficulties, caused
principally by tho new government survey
ot land.
Mr. Cole suggested the name given to the
present city of riattsmnulh, He was elected
to ropresent Cass county In the third Ne
braska terllorlnl legislature, where he took
an Important part. One of his acts was
socurlng the passage ot tho law prohibit
ing cattle and hogs from running at large,
which law has been of Incalculable, benefit
to tho state, as It raado the opening up of
tho broad prairie lands and their conver
sion Into valuable farms possible, which
could not have othcrwlso been dono, by
renson of 'tho scarcity and high prlco of
lumber that would necessarily bo required
for fencing.
Mr. Colo was one of the wealthiest farm
ers of Cass county and made his home three
and one-third miles southeast of Ashland,
He leaves four children. Tho funeral serv
ices wore hold this morning at tho Metho

TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 20. Judge Hn.en of
the district' court today' continued tho enso
of Mrs. Carrie) Nation, charged with
smashing Murphy's Joint, until tho April
term ot court. Tho cases against Kvn
Harding, Mrs. Rose Crist, Miss Mndelino
Southard, Mrs. C. Chadwlck and C. It. Mc
Dowell wero also continued. Mrs. Nation
enlivened tho proceedings In her char
acteristic way, arising several times to ad
dress tho court, each time catling the Judgo
"your dishonor."
When asked It she wero ready for trial
Mrs. Nation, who acts as her own attorney,
said: "Your dishonor, I Am lucapnblo ot
trying my case this afternoon, as I have
been poisoned by cigarette smoke in the
county Jail. I want to see how tho other
cases aro tried, anyway."
Judgo Hazen looked at the Joint smasher
In a helpless sort ot wuy nnd then recog
nized Captain J. G, Waters, one of the at
torneys for the defense.
Captain Waters said: "1 tried to find out
yesterday which of these cases was' to
como up and I could not. I find that none
or these cases have been placed upon tho
trial docket. Thcro Is no ncccfslty for
this swift vengeance, it Is a fair demand
that tho caso bo continued. The Ordinary
procedure of court would be advanced by
the giving of proper time."
"It Is tho provlnco of the court to seo
that alt havo a fair trial," said Jutlgo
Ilazen. "It Is not proper to railroad cases
through. I seo that If tho cases go over
until tho next term ot court that It will bo
not so difficult to get a Jury ns It will be to
settlo tho point of law now. 1 shall call tho
Stark case again on Monday morning."
Ralf SUrk is a young clerk who ac
companied tho crusaders and assisted In
tho raid Sunday. Mr. Stark's lawyer re
quested that his case also go over for this
term.
AVonld Prefer to Try n .Mail.
"I would prefer to try n man on this
chargo rather than a woman," said Judgo
Ilazen. "You may cnll a special venlro If
you wish and I think It will bo necessary.
I oxpoct to try only this one caso."
Then Mrs. Nation scored again. Sho
said: "Your dishonor, please, I think It
would he better to defer the decision as
long ob possible."
"No, I think it will be bettor to settle it
nt onco nnd let tho people know what the
law Is," said Judge Hazen.
"Wo know tho law," said Mrs. Nation.
"It seems that some do not,", replied
Judge Ilazen.
''Some Judges do not know the law," re
torted Mrs. Nation.
Miss Madeline Southard and Mrs, Crist,
who havo bean with Mrs, Nation in tho
county Jail, gavo bond for $500 each and
were released. Ono of the signers of tho
bonds wnsEdward Wilder, treasurer of tho
Atchison, Topeha & Santa Fe railway, Mrs.
Nation and the others wero returned to
Jail.
Tho indications are that there will bo a
bitter legal battle over the trials. The
attorneys for the defendants will Insist
that they bo granted a chnngo ot venuo
on account of tho alleged prejudice of Judge
Hnzen.
Mrs.' Nation received a letter in Jail here
loday from her husband, David .Nation of
Medlcino Lodge, in which be complains of
the harsh things that newspapers havo said
ofhlm regurdlng his relations with tho
crusader. One paper criticised htm for not
attending her recent trial and Mr. Nation
takes occasion to ask his wife why sho
does not keep him Informed of what sho Is
doing. Ho wants to know when he Is
coming homo and tells hor that her fellow
citizens of Medicine Lodge have prepared
an "elaborate reception" for her. Ho does
not seem to know that his wife Is In Jail
nnd Is likely to stay there for some tlmo.

is to edit next Tuesday, stating that he
will prouably accompany his wlfo to Peoria

this latest of his wife's ventures than with
anything else sho has done since coming
so prominently beforo the public. Con

Dlggs, tho Kansas reformer, has come out

read beforo tho Current Events club she
says; '
"Wero Mrs, Nation Just the ordinary
crank, zealously pursuing ono purpose 01
cherishing but ono Idea, the popular In
terest In her would quickly wane; hut In

Mrs. Dlggs declares that Mrs. Nation is
so thoroughly unmndern as to date back
not only to Puritan days, but far back to
biblical ages.
