Coroner Graham has decided cot to bold
an inquest over be remains of John C
David, who committed suicide yesterday.
Tbe relative and friends of tbe man agreed
that an official Investigation was unneces
sary, all admitting that tbe death was a
case of premeditated suicide. It was learned
here tonight that several members of tb
David family, although a few generations
removed, had committed suicide for vari
lou reasons. Mr. David's connection with
tbe Lincoln Paint A Color company, as
Its president, was found today in satisfac
tory condition. He bad an abundance of
property clear of encumbrance.
Tbe fire loss sustained by the Second
Presbyterian church Sunday morning is
now estimated at $7,500. Tbe building was
Insured for $6,500. Plans have already
been accepted for a new building, which
will cost about S15.0O0.
Governor Savage and his military staff
will start for Seattle on June SO to par
ticipate In the ceremonies at the laying
of tbe keel of the battleship Nebraska on

beginning tbe preparatory work of tbe
campaign.
"I expect to be at the headquarters most
of the time from now until the committee
Is reorganized." said be. "There is an
abundance of work ta be done and I mean
to have everything la readiness for the con
test as soon as the ticket is out in the

W. G. Lay, for five years manager ef
tbe Lincoln office of the Western Union
Telegraph company, will resign bis position
here within a few days to become chief
clerk for Superintendent Dickey at Omaha.
Thia Is one of the aeries of promotion

pany in the wet. Mr. Lay's successor

Beard Seek ta Delay Trial.
AI Beard, the man accused of tbe mur
der of John J. Glllllan. is showing dogged
Indifference ta the charge hanging over
him. He baa been confined in a cell la the
city aU and seems anxious to delay bis
preliminary hearing a long as possible.
He was brought to Lincoln a month ago,
but has objected to an arraignment until
he can have his attorney, J. C. Burr, pres
ent. This afternoon Balrd was taken be
fore Justice Greene and his hearing set
for o'clock Monday morning. In tbe
meantime be will be confined la tbe county
Js 11. The police authorities feared he
might make an attempt to escape and for
that reason had blm taken to tbe county
Jail.
If tbe claims of the railroads for trans
porting the companies of tbe Nebraska Na
tional guard to and from the last en
campment are paid there will be lean than
S200 left la the fund for the support of the
brigade. The eppropiiatlon for office ex
penses Is apart from that for the support
of the troops. Under these conditions It
la not likely that an encampment will be
held this year, unless tbe congressional
hill providing funds for such encamp
ments la passed.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
aster atd let It stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling Indicates an ua
healthy condition of the kidneys; if it
stains the linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble; too frequent desire to pass It, or
pain in the back is alao convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out of
order. ,
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort la the kaowledg a
often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem
edy, fulfills every wish la curing rheuma
tism, pain in tbe back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
pasta. It correct inability to hold
water and acaldtag pata la passing It, or
bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go oftea
during tbe day. and te get up many time
during tbe night. The mild and the ex
traordinary effect of Swamp-Root la soon
realized. It stand tbe higbeit for ita
wonderful cure of th most distressing
rases. If you need a medicine yon should
hsve the best. Sold by druggist la fifty
