BOYS KILL AN OLD MAN
Oage County Has a Tragedy Which Law
May Not Punish.
YOUTHS SHOT AT WHILE AT FARM WORK
Inatantlr Return Demented Man'a
Ftre and Death Results at Once
neatrlee Stirred Over Wllber
Killing.
BEATRICE. Neb., March 24. (Special
Telegram.) Twenty-flve miles northwest
of Beatrice, on section 5, range 6, town
ship 5, and five miles northeast of Wllber,
In Oago county, a tragedy of deep sig
nificance to this community was enacted
about noon today, when Anton Kucera,
aged 70 year, was shot and instantly killed
by George Hercox, a boy of 15 yeara.
Tbe Hercox boy and a brother 13 years
old were herding rattle and 'repairing the
fence -between the Hercox and Kucera
farms. Kucera, who had ths reputation of
being a bad man, appeared on the scene,
and, the boys say, without a word of warn
ing, fired at the older of the two. The
boy dodged and fell to the ground. George,
supposing Kucera bad killed his brother,
then shot tbe old man In the forehead,
killing him Instantly.
Kucera'a mind has long been unbalanced
and he has been regarded as dangerous at
times. Several years ago he wounded a
tuan ln Saline county and barely escaped
aervlng a term In the penitentiary. His
neighbors think he should have been In
the Insane asylum.
It Is not probable that the slayer of
Kucera will be punished, as the feeling is
general that the killing was Justifiable.
Both Kucera and Hercox are Bohemians.
Kucera leaves grown children and a wife.
The Kucera boys returned home Imme
diately after the shooting and no arrest
has been made.
News of the tragedy reached this city
ahortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon, when
Coroner Walden received a telephone mes
sage from Wllber, requesting him to go to
the scene of the shooting at once. He left.
In company with Constable James Leary,
in a private conveyance about 3 o'clock.

REVISION OF BANKING LAW
Important Nebraska Changes Suggested by
Secretary Boyse.
FINANCES MAKE SPLENDID SHOWING
socialists of Lincoln Seek by Mnudn.
mna to Compel City Clerk to Put
Names of Candldntea ea
Official Ballots.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 24. (Special.) A re
vision of several Important features of tbe
Nebraska banking law Is recommended by
ecretary Ed Royse In his annual report to
the State Board of Banking. He suggests
n Increase In required legal reserve from
5 to 25 per cent, the placing of bank exam
iners upon a stipulated salary baals, the
printing of numbered certificate of deposit
banks under the direction of the Banking
board, and points out where Improvements
may be made in the provisions relating to
tbe election of bsnk officers and the loan
ing of money to bank officials and employes.
Tbe report was sent to the printer today
but that portion of It which contains the
uggestlons and comments of the secretary
of the board was given out for publication.
Some of the suggestions are drawn from
ths recent embezzlement In the Platte
Valley bank of Bellwood. The changes
recommended are Intended for submission
to the legislature.
Mr. Royse's report covers the period from
December 13, 1900, to December 10, 1901.
In this time three privets banka became
Incorporated Institutions; forty-seven new
banka were chartered with an aggregate
capital stock of $448,000; four state banks
were reincorporated under tbe national
banking law, and six went into voluntary
liquidation, paying depositors in full, while
two went into the bsnds of receivers.
A comparison of the reports for the last
two years shows Increases In the following
Items:
Loan's and discounts $3,341,012.06
Legal reserve 2,471,691.53
Rurnlti and d refits Z7l.73l.71
nnnt1tl &.421.B74.17
capital pain in iii.iou.uu
And a decrease In nntea and bills
redlscounted and blue payable.. w.is.so
Souree of Much Satisfaction.
"Such a condition of the banks of this
state under your supervision," says Mr.
Royse, "as the above comparison reveals
at the close of a partial crop failure, which
waa general throughout the state, must
be a source of great satisfaction and gratia
cation to your honorable body. It is an
Indication of the high standard of efficiency
to which tbe state banking system of the
state bas attained. The sound and stable
conditions of the financial Interests of the
country generally and tbe confidence Justly
merited by tbe bankers of Nebraska by
their Judicious and conservative manage
ment of the several banking Institutions of
the state.

Need Not Seek Foreign Reserve Agents
Mr. Royse continues: "Nebraska Is for
tunate In possessing within her own bor
ders reserve cities and financial instltu
tlons of sufficient Importance, strength and
security to make It unnecessary for the
country banker to go outside of tbe state
to seek reserve agents amply prepared to
care for his business and protect his In
terests. The present banking act has proven
quite satisfactory and squal. If not super
ior, to that of any other state In the union,
yet. In my opinion, some amendments cr
additions might be suggested that would
prove beneficial In keeping with tbe con
ditions snd progress of the state and
worthy the consideration of the next legis
lature, aome of which follow:
"I would recommend a fixed salary for
bank examiners, believing that It would
be more satisfactory both to the depart-
ment and the examiners. As their reports
are tbe medium through which tbe depart
ment receives tbe most valuable and re
liable Information as to the banking In
stitutions under their supervision. It is es
sential that the most careful and rigid ex
amination be made. I would recommend
such salary to be paid as will not only al
ways command the services of the experi
enced and capablo persons, but enable them
to give all necessary time and attention to
their work.
"I would recommend more frequent ex
amination. It waa a wise step In the aa-
tlonal supervision when two examinations
were provided for each year, and in this
particular I would urge the consideration
by the next legislature of a similar re
quirement for banks under state supervi
sion. "The most dangerous and pernicious
practice of bankers unworthy of ths name
or the privilege of being at large, much
less conducting a banking Institution, are
the most difficult of detection by ths ex
aminers of tbs department.
Clandestine Banking; Methods.
"Some of those which are clandestinely
used are bills psyable, rediscounts and cer
tificates of deposit. I am sure such In
stances are rare In Nebraska, but as a rule
where such practleea are found to exist
they have resulted In great Injury to de
positors as well as to tbs legitimate bank
ing Institutions. Every precaution should
bs exercised In preventing as well as de
tecting such evils. Adequate means or
methods to bs employed are Indeed diffi
cult to determine. I have thought perhaps
that It might be wlss for ths stats to print
blsnk certificates of deposit, numbered con
secutively, and each bank charged with tbe
number Issued to It and each be required
to account for every one Issued, fixing a
severs penalty for use by banks of blank
certificates other than those Issued by ths
state.
"I would recommend that tbe law be so
amended that In order to be eligible to
the office of director of g state bank one
must become tbe owner of capital stock
to the extent of at least $500, that the
president shall be a director and that tbe
law fix the minimum number of directors
to be elected and maintained by an Incor
porated bank, which number should not bs
less than thrss,
"I'nder section 2( of tbe state banking
act an officer of a stats bank la not permit
ted to borrow money from hla bank until
the board of directors baa authorized ths
losn. This Is a safeguard of no mean
Importance. A large per cent of failures
hsvs been caused by officers speculating
legitimately, or otherwlss, with funds bor
rowed directly or Indirectly from the bank,
and as aa additional safeguard against such
practices, I believe that It would be a wise
provision to require also, ths approval by
tbe board of directors of all commercial
paper purchased from an officer or director
of the bank.
"This class of paper sometimes, and too
often, becomes a menace to the bank when
the officers have outside Interests, and are
unable to resist the temptation to use the
bank's funds for their private purposes, in
stead of for tbe bank's benefit and best
Interests.
Abnae Hard to Control.
"Another abuse, and one perhaps bard to
control by the legislature. Is a practice,
now prevalent to some extent, I regret to
say, of avoiding rediscounts by the officers
of banks conducting a brokerage business.
Instead of redlscountlng paper in the usual
manner. I am or the opinion that when a
bank gets or participates in the profits of
these transactions that it cannot escape lia
bility, and the department It using every
effort to prevent this unwise and unsafe
practice.
"It is a difficult matter, the department
finds, to prevent excess loans. The reasons
given for the violation of this section of
the banking act are various, but every effort
Is being made to have the banks keep within
the provision of the law, as there Is no
question as to the wisdom of this restric
tion. "It Is a too common practice to carry less
than the legal cash reserve. While the de
partment recognizes the danger from burg
lary, to which the banks in the smaller
towns particularly are subject, and It rea
lises the fact that currency can readily be
obtained on short notice from nearby re
serve agents, yet It believes that the re
quirement Is not unreasonable as a rule.
"With the legal reserve, however. It Is
different. The present requirement Is too
low, and In my opinion should be increased.
I do not believe a 25 per cent reserve
would be excessive.
"I would further suggest consideration of
a provision requiring the approval by the
state banking board of reserve agents for
state banks, for at least a portion of their
legal reserve."

Test for Yourself the Wonderful
Curative Properties of Swamp-Root
To Prove What Swamp-Root, the World-Famous Kidney and Bladder Remedy,
will do for YOU, Every Reader of The Bee iMay Have a Sample Bottle Free.
Dr. Kilmer A Co., Blnghamrrton, N. T.!
Gentlemen In Justice to you, I feel tt Is my duty to "end you an acknowledgrement of the receipt of the artmpto
bottle of Swamp-Root you so kindly sent ma I had been out of health for the Inst five years with kidney and blad
der trouble. Had our beet physicians prescribe for me. They would relieve me for the time belnx. but the old com
plaint would In a short time return again. I sent for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, and I found It did me a world
of good. Since then I have taken eight small bottles bought at my drug store, and I consider myself perfectly cured.
It seemed aa though my back would break In two after stooping. I do not have the smarting and Irritation, nor do I
hare to get up during the night to urinate, as I formerly did three or four times a night but now sleep the sleep of
peace. My back Is all right again, and In every way I am a new man. Two of my brother officers are still using
Swamp-Root They, like myself, cannot say too much In praise of It It Is a boon t mankind. We rvconittvud It to
all who are suffering from kidney and bladder diseases.
My brother officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank you for the blessing you
have, brought to the human race In the compounding of Bwamp-Root, JAMES COOK.
We remain, yours very truly, IIUOH E. BOY LB.
Officers of the B8th Pollcs Precinct, Greater New York. JOHN J. BODKIN.
If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking the famous new discovery. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your
kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys ars responsible tor many kinds of diseases, snd If permitted to continue much suffering with
fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makea you dlssy, reatless, sleepless and Irritable. Makes
you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kldneya cause rheu
matlam, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache In the back, Joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache,
causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble; you get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes you feel as though you had heart

STUDENTS SPREAD TROUBLE

Police Officer Near Moscow Tries
Conciliation with Worklngmto
and Meets with Good
Success.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 6. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.) An at
tempt will be made to reopen the St.
Petersburg university, and it Is supposed
other Institutions, on Monday, April 7. If
It proves a failure the authorities say no
further attempt will be made until autumn
or perhaps longer. The matter was dis
cussed between students, to whom special
invitations were sent, and representatives
of the faculty yesterday. Tbe students
desiring admittance were required to sign a
pledge that they would attend no Illegal
meetings or participate In any disorders.
It Is doubtful If the experiment will suc
ceed. The students declared, concerning
the pledge, that they regarded It as a
promise made under constraint and that
they had do intention of keeping it.
The fomentation has reached the ec
clesiastical seminaries, and it Is said that I
nineteen of them have been closed. It la
understood that there Is only a remote con
nection between the trouble in these insti
tutions and the secular schools. The com
plaints of the future priests are purely
domestic.
Several Incidents have latterly thrown
doubt upon the wlBdom of the government
In sending Its "politically untrustworthy"
elements to the rural districts. It would
sppear that the latter are making rapid
progress In assimilating the doctrines of the
new residents. Tbe following incident,
which occurred at Poltava, and which Is
related on the basis of two separate private
letters, is perhaps characteristic:
Disaffection Spreads.
Some sixty St. Petersburg exiles are liv
ing In Poltava, a town of about 60,000 In
habitants, In the agricultural south. Pre
vious to their arrival It was regarded as a
typically somnolent place, the population
being mainly distinguished for Illiteracy.
During a representation In a local theater
a few days ago someone rose in the bal
cony and shouted: "Long live Count
Tolstoi, the excommunicated!" The cry
was taken up by tbe other persons in dif
ferent parts of the house and the play
came to a standstill. Tbe police finally
cleared the balcony and, tbe same evening,
arrested all the exiles in their homes snd
lodged them in a frail Jail with common
criminals. They demanded the reason of
their arrest and an immediate hearing, but
received no satisfaction. They thereupon
determined to refuse food. In order to force
concessions, but finding famine monotonous
after thirty-six hours, began a riot. How
the affair ended seems uncertain. One ac
count eays all the common criminals who
Joined the political offenders escaped.

The agony you suffer af ler eating, tnat feellDf? of fullness, flatulence
I wind on the 6tomach) and belching Is caused by decay of undigested
food which forma a gas that distends the walli of the stomach and ex
