Walter Updike. 22 years old, employed as
j-anlnian at the Schlltz hotel, Sixteenth and
Harney streets, cominlttoJ eulclda early yes
torduy morning by turning on the Kan In a
basement toilet room of thnt hostelry. When
found nt 7 o'clock ho was dead. Ho left
110 note, ond thus far no scrap nf wrltln
lias heen found ainoiig his effects that will
Klvfi any Information ns to h(s antecedents
or as to tho whereabouts of his family.
Thoso who have known him during tho
three months ho had lived In Omaha say ho
was very reticent, seldom spealdnR of him
self or of his nffalrs, but they understood
from certain remarks dropped that ho was
n deserter from tho United States naval
training Bhlp I'enascota, now at Goat Is
lnnd, near Han Francisco. He was a friend
of Jacob Llpp, who a week ago was ar
rested In Omaha, charged with being " ''o
scrtcr from the sanio ship. It Is said that
constant fear of arrest and trial by court
martial had depressed his spirits.
Woman In Intuited.
Thcro Is another story that Updike wos
the victim of an unfortunate- love affair,
lie had hinted at this to his friend, Frank
Vol)!, with whom ho roomed at the Center
hotel. It seems he was In love with a girl
whom ho had mot a few weeks ago, and
that his "case," as he called It, was nqt
progressing as ho would have It. There was
another man paying his addresses to the
pamo young woman, and Updiko believed
that his rival was gcttlnG the better of
him.
It Is tho opinion of Vol?, that each of
theso cnUHCS contributed to Updike's de
spondency and fluatly drove him to solf-du-etructlon.
About 7 o'clock yesterday morning, when
William Manning, head chef at tho Schllu
hotel, went down to open tho kitchen, he
noticed a strong smell of escaping gas and
nt onco set out to find tho leak. He fluatly
located It In a toilet room which Is set
nsldo for tho uso of tho hotel help. Tho
door was bolted on tho Inside. Calling to
his assistance Jo Povanka and Jo Hodu
ztner, Manning attacked tho door with a
cleaver and soon forced It open.
A great volume of gaa rushed out, nearly
stifling them. O.i tho floor of tho closet,
upon a bed mado of gunnysacks, lay Up
dike, fully dressed, his knees drawn up
nearly to his chin, his mouth open and
his eyes staring. On tho sacks bcsldo lilm
was J2.E0 In silver that had fallen from his
trousers' pocket. As tho llmb3 were stiff
and tho tlesh cold It was evident that death
had ensued several hours before. The gas
Jet was turned on full force; nil means of
ventilation had been shut off, and as there
wore only about thirty cubic feet of spaco
in tho llttlo room tho air must have been
poisoned within a very few minutes after
tho final preparations wero made.
I.UMt Seen Allte.
Tho last porson to sco Updiko alive was
Louis Fcrron, night porter nt tho Schlltz ho
tel. "I saw him at 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing," Bald Ferron, "Just as he had finished
cleaning up tho kitchen. He was perfectly
sober and so far as I could soo was In his
usual spirits. It must have been within u
few minutes after this that he went Into
the closet and made his preparations for
ulclde."
It Is believed that the only member of
Updlko'a Immcdlato family to survive him
ts his father, who lives in or near Cin
cinnati. His address Is not known. Up
diko Is a native of Ohio and early last win
ter enlisted in tho navy from Cincinnati.
Ho had been In Omaha about threo months
and has been employed at tho Schlltz hotol
Inco Juno 1. Tho body Is now In tho under
taking rooms of tho coroner. It la not
likely that an inquest will bo held.

that tho contract will bo awarded to them

United States Marshal T. L. Mathews
has taken official notice of the charges pre
ferred against Fred M, Hans In Harrison
county, Iowa, In connection with tho arrest
of Hlchard Latta for robbing a Northwest
ern freight ear. Hans has for many years
held a commission as deputy United States
marshal, his nppolntment being made at
tho request of the Rlkhorn railroad com
pany, which In common with the other
railroads operating In tho state have se
cured appointments as United States mar
shals without compensation for all of their
secrot servlco officers regularly employed
In that capacity.
When the charges were first preferred
In Harrison county against Hans the United
States marshal was asked what ho Intended
to do In tho premises and said that he would
do nothing, pending tho result of tho trial.
Yesterday morning when the confession of
Daniels, filed Monday In the Iowa county,
was published, tho marshal said:
"I don't care to havo any publicity mado
of the matter, for HanB, while regularly
appointed United Slates marshal, has had
nothing to do with this olllce. Ho was ap
pointed nt the request of tho railroad com
pany, which takes this method of placing
its secret servlco olllcers In a porltlcn
to make Immediate arrests when they sco
n crlmo committed. Hans draws no salary
froni tho government and tho office exercises
practically no supervision over him. I In
tend to go to the headquarters of tho rail
road this morning and Investigate the mnt
tcr for myself. The opinions of the railroad
officials will have considerable weight In
tho caso, but If I find to my satisfaction
that tho iharges brought against Hans are
true I will probably revoke his commlssirn
and request the railroad to designate some
other man for the place I don't like to
bo placed In tho position of condemning
a man without n hearing, but an officer of
tho United States should be a man whoso
actions aro such that a chargo of this kind
could not bo pressed for twenty-four hours."

Householders who uso gasoline stoves and
violate policy stipulations need not expect
to collect Insurance when the lire comes.
Judge Vlnsonhaler hus so ruled In the

pany, wherein Mrs. Heche sued to collect
a $.100 policy which she held In' tho defend
ant company for household goods destroyed
In n lire at 2623 St. Mary's avenue, In the

The evldenco showed that while Mrs.
Heche had paid her premiums faithfully, she
had violated the clause of her policy, which
prohibits tho uso of gnsollno for cooking.
Therefore, Judgment was rendered ngalnst
her.
Insurance men and experienced members
of the city fire department docluro that the
gasoline stove Is one of the most active

Local rains during the last ten days
throughout Nebraska generally, together
with a comparatively low and oven temper
ature, have greatly Improved the prospects
for late corn. Much corn that farmers
had determined lust week to cut for fodder
will now be allow ud to stand, as It Is worth
harvesting. Some farmers claim ns much
as forty bushels to the acre, but tho gen
eral estimate Is from ten to fifteen bush
els. Crop reports received by the Burlington
from its northern and southern divisions,
Including that portion of tho stato cast of
tho ninety-niuth meridian, confirm these
statements. Along Its lino from Lincoln
to Ravenna, together with the branches,
fall ploAing Is progressing, but is not far
enough along to glvo estimates on tho
acreage. In this territory oats are pour
and potatoes light. Sugar beets will m.iko
an average crop, while tho pastures are
greatly Improved.
INOlllll tCM tilllllK l'l.
Conditions arc much tho snmo In the
section south of Lincoln nnd east of Hold
rege und Alma. Farmers cast o( Wymoro
estimate their lato corn at from flvo to
twenty-five bushels, which Is much bet
ter us a rulo than their figures last week.
The acreage of winter wheat gives promise
of being nt least 25 per cent greater thau
that of last full, as this variety demon
strated Its ability to withstand the drouth
much, better than Its spring cousin. Farm
ers generally aru holding their old wheat
for higher prices. In tho fruit-raising sec
tions late peaches will mako a fair crop,
but early peaches nro quite poor. The
apple crop will not bo good. Pastures uro
much Improved by recent ruins, which
nlso Insured plenty of rough feed to carry
tho stock through tho winter.
Tho western division, embracing that part
of tho state south of the Platte and west
of tho ninety-ninth meridian, Is In better
shape than a week ago. Local raltis have
covered a good portion of this territory
within tho last ten days, nnd whllu they
havo not changed corn conditions ma
terially, yet tho fields havo been kept nllve
ond growing, with tho result that much
good fodder will bo harvested. It is be
lieved that enough rough feed will be
available In all parts of this suction to ,
tako the stock through tho winter. Fann
ers nro plowing now and Indications point
to a largo acreage of winter wheat. Tho
third crop ot alfalfa along tho Orleans
branch will mnko n fair yield.
Tho northwestern part of tho stato be

Improved condition In lato grain. Esti
mates of from one-third to two-thirds of n
crop are made between Ravenna and
Seneca, Thomas county. Hetwcen Seneca

M. N. Griffith returned yesterday morning
from Birmingham, Ala., where ho attended
tho forty-seventh annual convention of in
ternational Typographical union as dele
gate, with t). G. Craighead, from Omaha
union No. 190.
The delegates, he reports, numbered about
200 and reprctonted every principal union
In this country and four In Canada. Ono
hundred or moro cx-dclegates wero also In
attendanco besides a number of Interested
outsiders,
Tho most important of the propositions
brought beforo the convention wns that ot
the elect rotypers and stcrcotypers, who ask
to withdraw, that they may organize an
international union ot their own nnd under
n separate charter, claiming thnt by so do
ing they can onlWt 1,600 of their craftsmen
In the Inrgor cities, who decline to Join eo
long as tho direct affiliation with the print
ers Is maintained. Tho petitioners wished
the convention's endorsement of their plan
of withdrawal, which Includes a pledge of
tho payment of the 30 cents per month per
cnplta tnx even after separation, but the
delegates In convention ventured no further
than to refer the proposition to referendum
without endorsement.
Another Important matter for considera
tion was tho abrogation of what Is known
ns the Philadelphia agreement, which holds
tho Typographical union to tho uso of the
Allied Printing Trades lnbel. The convention
vpted, 140 to 3, to withdraw from this agree
mcnt nnd It goes to referendum with this
report ngalnst It.
Another proposition received by the con
vention was ono for tho recognition by tho
International union ot tho Ladles' Auxiliary
and the grant of a charter.
Mr. Griffith comes home with his own
shnro of personnl prominence in tho order,
having been plnced on tho committee on
subordinate unions, which Is Important be
cause ot its control of tho minor legisla
tion enacted.
Of the social features of the meeting, Mr.
Griffith speaks well, affirming that too much
could not be said In pralso of tho treatment
accorded the delegates at both Birmingham,
whero the convention waB held, nnd at Nash

Mawhinney 6c Ryan Co.,
Jewelers nnd Art Stationers,
The first step in purchasing
clothing ia to bo absolutely suro
thnt you're putting your money
whoro it'll most bonolit you.
'Tis considerably easier to
make an error in taking tho first
step than to correct it when
made. And remember that sea
Hon after season unscrupulous
manufacture turn out goods (or
rather badnesses) of trash covered
with a deceiving gloss. When this
wears oil tho ilimsiest fabric is
seen. There are dealers, too,
who, whether wittingly or un
wittingly wo won't protend to say,
buy this rubbish to rosoll to you.
