Prompt Action Prevents Him.
DESPONDENT OVER LOSS OF POSITION
Takes (o the Hospital to Recuperate
sad Will Later He tared for by
Friends ef More Pros
perous Ilsys.
Despondent over financial troubles and
continued lll-htalth, Edward W. Miller,
until recently employed as a clerk In the
rallrond offices of this city for the last
fifteen years or more, attempted Saturday
morning to take his life by shooting him
self with a revolver. The attempt wss
made at the boarding house of Mrs. Alice
Creedon, 20 Fourth street, but was frus
trated by Mrs. Creedon and other Inmates
of the bouse. The assistance of the police
was requested and Miller wss taken to the
city Jail, but later removed to the Woman's
Christian association hospital.
Several months ago Miller was selxed
with a stroke of paralysis, for which he
was treated at the Woman's Christian
association hospital. Hs did not entirely
recover and has been partially crippled
nd In poor health since. Two weeks ago
he went to board at Mrs. Creedon's house.
Having lost his position In the railroad
office, Miller commenced to canvass for a
subscription book, but did not make a
financial success of It. He became ex
ceedingly despondent and a few days ago
threatened to commit suicide. Friday he
went to Omaha for the purpose of seeking
employment.
He returned Saturday morning and , in
the presence of Mrs. Creedon and two
women boarders said be had failed to ob
tain work and had decided to end his Ufa
there and then. Suiting the action to thn
word, he drew a revolver from his pocket
and waa In the act of placing It to hi
bead when Mrs. Creedon succeeded in
knocking It out of his hand, while one
of the other women picked It up and ran
Into the next room with it.
When taken to the city Jail a book was
found on Miller, on the wrapper of which
was written: "A misspent life ended.
Bury me with the paupers or give my
body to Dr. Barstow to dispose of. B. W.
Miller, May 3, 1 1902. God have mercy ou
my soul."
Chief Tlbblts at first decided to take
Miller before the commissioners ou In
sanity, but at the solicitation of the un
fortunate man's friends sent him to the
hospital. It Is understood that friends will
care for him when he la able to leave the
hospital.

CONTEST JS STILL IN THE AIR
Error Is First Precinct and Dlapated
Ballots 1st Second to
Settls It.
The First ward aldermsnlc contest is
still all In the air, although a second re-
count of the First precinct by the can
vassing board placed Bell agals in the
lead by one vote. Instead of Huber, as had
been announced Friday. The board discov
ered that it had made an error in the can
vass and had counted one of Bell's Votes
for Huber.
The counting of the ballots cast In the
Second precinct was completed late Satur
day afternoon, but the board had not
reached any conclusion regarding the eon
tested ballots. For Bell, 137 straight and
121 scratched ballots were not questioned,
while for Huber, 132 straight and sixty
four scratched ballots were passed without
contest. In all forty-one ballots were con
tested, twenty-seven of which had been
counted for Huber and fourteen tor Bell.
Moat of the ballots were contested on
the grounds of having Identification marks
on them. It wss stated that the contest
had practically simmered down to four bal
lots and It was said that If theae are
thrown out the board may have to recount
the ballots in the First precinct. It being
claimed that some of the ballots bors sim
ilar marks to these four disputed ones.

Ths banner of the High school Junior
olass was missing Saturday morning at
daybreak from the flagpole on the roof of
the county courthouse. It is now said to
be In possession of ths "Red Onions," an

ths "Red Onions," took his life In bis
hands and at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing scaled up a waterplps to the top of
ths courthouse, then climbed up a steep
slate roof of a tower, twelve feet high, and
hauled down the green and white banner
with the "03" 'upon It. 'This foolhardy
feat of ths young man was witnessed by a
number of people from the Kiel hotel. : Had
ths pips broken loose from Its moorings
or ths young fellow made a misstep he
would In all probability have been dashed
to death.
About ! o'clock Saturday morning the
senior succeeded in hanging their banner
from a wlrs stretched from the Baldwin
block to a telephone pole on ths opposite
side of Broadway, but the wind had hardly
time to blow the creases out of It before
the Juniors, who, were on the alert, had tt
torn down and in their possession.

In Iowa from reports received from his
correspondents in all parts of the state,

not as favorable now as appeared to be the
case a month ago. Ths following are the
average percentages for the state on the
various fruits: Apples, 87 per cent; plums,
Si; cherries, 86; pears, 83; peaches, buds
killed; red raspberries, 41; black raspber

better than estimated by the members of
the horticultural society.

Hospital Roof Repaired.
The State Board of Control has had the
roof of the State hospital at Cherokee re
paired after the windstorm of last week,
It is not yet determined how much of the
work of laying the tile on the roof will
have to be done over again, but It It prob
able much of It will be. The big botlert
for the hospital have Just been shipped
to Cherokee and will be placed soon. They
should have been placed several weeks
ago. The board is having an analysis of
the water of the deep well made, and thus
far the Indications are that ths water is
not very good, as it contains a vast amount
of mineral substance.

commission will meet and organize at once
and begin some of the work which must

is to be postponed makes it possible for
the commission to anticipate an additional

HIGHLAND PARK LAID LOW
Manasres to Secure One Run While
Nebraska Is Accumulating
Six.
DES MOINES, Ia., May 4. (Special Tele
gram.) Nebraska, 6; Highland Park, 1. It
was a great game of ball and Nebraska
excelled at every oolnt. Thompson and
Smith, the much-heralded battery for High
land rara, were batted for ten sale nits.
The one run credited to the home team
was earned In the eighth on a safe hit and
a long drive to centerfleld. Nebraska
bunched Its hits In the fifth act and tallied
five and the game. Letherby came up tlrst
and hit honestly for one baa:. Cortelvou
duplicated. Hood fanned for the first time.
Captain Bell smashed the sphere for 11 rut
base. Dusty lollowed, Gaines flew out to
center, leaving Bell on third and Rhodes at
second. Here Zoby Townsend picked out a
promising bat and knocked the white thing
over the fence. This gave him second ana
scored ths other two. Townsend stole third
and on Deputron's safe, cantered home. In
the second Nebraska earned a run which
totalled the six.
From a spectator's point of view the play
was interesting ana smart, uoubie plays
and snappy ail-round work won for Ne
braska the support of a great portion of
ine siana.
The game became rather dramatic when
In the third Inning Doane, catcher, hurt
his finger and waa forced to retire. Bender
had missed the morning train out of Lin
coln. Captain Bell's men, so far unscored
upon, were fearful. Dusty Rhodes rumbled
In from short, though, and placed the bars
before his face, pluntcing his left hand deep
In the mlt. Townsend left second for short.
Bell played second. Deputron left, leth
erby center. Thus It was the Nebraskans
for three Innings shut out the famous
Thompson and his men.
Then unexpectedly Bender's head popped
In at the ticket office and he was cheered
to a standstill, rolled up his citizen's suit
and waded Into the game. Bobby Oalnes
tossed the bail to perfection, keeping his
head at every point of the game. Dusty
Rhodes accepted every chance without
error at short and behind tho bat. High
land Park took its defeat hard.

Nebraska 0 1 0 0 S 0 0 0 06
