JURY DECIDES AGAINST BENTLEY WILL William Frank Appeals from Decision of State Easrlneer la the Irrlga tloa Case front Reotts BlaS Caaatjr. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dec. 13. (Special.) Just as the last hundred weight of coal had been thrown Into the furnaces at the Lincoln hospital for the Insane last night a car load of coal that had been promised was shunted onto the sidetrack at the heatlns plant and the danger of a frigid time was averted. The building was already chilly. and another hour would have meant the extinguishing ot the Ores under the boilers. Three car loads more are said by the asylum employes to be on the wajr to the city. The railroad officials have prom laed to give the cars the right of wsy, thus assuring the supply for three days more The officials at the asylum profess to be somewhat relieved at the prospects for a continuous supply, but ths danger line will not be passed until a thirty days' supply can be secured. An official said that in case ot a billiard, blocking traffic for a few days, the coal supply would give out, with serious consequences to the inmates f the hospital. Breaks taa Beatle? Will. A Jury in ths district court this morning returned a verdict breaking the will of Mary A. Bentley, who had disinherited her son, W. A. Bentley. In favor ot the Catholic church and a stranger' whom she l:ad known but three weeks. The case was tried on an appeal from the probate court, which had upheld the will. The son ap pealed to the district court. Ths son refused to1 give poesesslon of the homestead to the legate under the will. Miss Maggls Murphy, and began proceed ings to break the will, alleging that Mlsa Murphy, T. J. Doyle, her attorney, and Bishop Bonacum of ths Catholic church had brought undue Influence to bear upon Mrs. Bentley In making ths will. He alleged that his mother was not in Ot mental con dition to make a will. The proponents urged that the dead woman had long contemplated giving her eatats to charitable uses, and la making out the wlU was simply carrying out her cherUhed purpose. Ths coatsntloa that Mrs. Bentley had been laaaa waa reaJl tis iaaportaat ques tion at Issue and the verdict ot the jury settles that. The testimony ot bcr physician that she had been afflicted with a cancer of the stomach and was in a starving con dition at the time that she made the will was used by the contestant as evidence that she was not in a fit condition to maks ths will. The testimony of Father Reade, a Catholic clergyman, who had advised her not to make a new will because !t would be broken, waa also used In behalf of the son in his effort to secure the estate. Dr. Stevens said during the trial that he had not noted any sign ot senile dementia, but aald that he thought her act tn giving her property to an entire stranger would indicate that some such trouble existed. Mr. T. J. Doyle, the attorney for the proponents, says that an appeal will be taken if a new trial is not granted. Organise Philharmonic Moclety.

In his forthcoming report Superintendent of Instruction Fowler has much to say In regard to the qualifications of teachers and teachers' salaries. He states that the time has come when boards of education In cities and villages should require of teachers employed that they be either normal achool, university or college grad uates or holders of professional atate cer tificates. Teachers with these qualifica tions, the report will say, can be secured If they are paid salaries commensurate with such training. As an example of this, Mr. Fowler refers to the large number of teachers who responded to the call for teachers In the Philippines. Only 1,000 were needed, but 5,000 applied. The report will say further that ell teachers In the grades should possess at least three years' high school education and one year's normal school training. Tbe state superintendent recommends that after September, 1907, no person be allowed to teach in the rural schools who does not possess as the minimum qualifi cation a thorough knowledge of the com mon branches, such as would admit to the average school, and also one year's drill In a teachers' training class. Two Object to Verdict. William Frank has filed a motion for a rehearing on bis application for a permit to take water from the Platte river in Scotts Blufl county for irrigation purposes. This was the case in which Secretary Dob- son of the Board of Irrigation rendered a verdict for the Farmers' Canal company against Frank. He alleges that the secre tary erred tn holding that tbe canal com paoy had not abandoned its right under the grant of 1'Ji. Another objection Is entered to the hold log of tbe secretary that Mr. Frank can have only 412 feet of water, which la only sufficient to irrigate 28,000 acres, whereas, his t-rlglnal application contemplated th irrigation ot 250,000 acres ot land in Scotts Bluff county. The ICarmcrs' Irrigation dittrict has also asked for a new hearing. Xo Harry to fclve Ip Bonds. Treasurer Stuefer has rerelved $15,000 worth of bonds on the call made a month ago for $75,000. The treasurer considers the lack of haste on the part of bond holders to surrender them to the state good indliatlou that Nebraska's financial condition is in first-class condition. In the office at ths treasurer It is cald that this proves the absurdity of the report that tbe state bonds could be purchased below par. In Search of His Wife. J. Schuman ot Brock was in Lincoln today seeking information ot the whereabouts ot Mrs. Schuman, who has been absent from her home for the last month. Mrs Schu man Intended going to Omaha, he said, at that time for medical treatment. He has not heard from her since she left home. Ho has discovered, however, that she rodo from Brock to Weeping Water on a freight train and left the train at the latter place. She Is 28 years ot age. Objects to Hcmovlna; School. Ellis E. Good, who will represent the counties of Nemaha and Johnson In the coming legislature, Is a good representative of the town of Peru, from which he hails. Mr. Good opposes the recommendation of Superintendent Fowler to change the nor mal school from Peru to Kearney. "It will not help the state any to make this change, In my opinion," said Mr. Good. "The build ings at Kearney and at Peru would have to be remodeled and so much expense would have to be incurred that I don't know where the money is to come from to pay the expenses. I don't see the necessity of putting a normal school at Lincoln. If we need more normal schools and the state wants more, then I am in favor of them. but I am in favor of establishing the new one in the wtstcrn part of the state and allowing the Peru school to remain where it Is. People can get to Peru almost as easily as they can to Omaha. It only takes them about three hours longer. This dtf ference in expense In transportation ii easily made up In the amount of money spent for board." ACCUSED OF RILLING BABY Mather of the Little One Bays Its Father Smothered It MAN ASSERTS DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL Circumstances Tend Stronglr to Cor roborate the Story of the Mother that Little One Was Killed. specific charges of bis threats to kill her it she told of tbe death of the child. She explained to the jury that when she gained access to the bedroom, after her husband had gone out of doors, she took off the child's head two pillows, weighing about eight pounds each, a quilt and a buffalo robe. Tho child gave one breath and ex pired. Her story was corroborated In some of Its details by Mrs. Fears, a colored woman residing In the neighborhood, to whom Mrs. Baxter had Bald some time ago that her husband threatened to kill the child and to rvhora sbe went first ot all when it was dead. The Inquest was adjourned until Thurs day morning. Sobs aad Daaahtrra of Protection, BEATRICE, Neb.. Dec. 13. (Special.)

A negro, who gives bis name as Baxter, says he came here from Norfolk about a week ago, who Is 64 years old and has a wife of about 30 years. Is accuaed by the latter of being the murderer of their t-months-old baby boy, as cute a pickaninny as was ever pictured. Coroner Roeder was notified by a neighbor of tbe Baxters, who live In a little hut and had not a penny to their name, that the child was dead under suspicious circumstances, and went to investigate. He made a second trip, accompanied by County Attorney Horth, and the negro was so ugly, telling the attorney, with side glances at an axe he had in tbe corner, that It was none of bis business how long he had been mar ried, etc. The woman seemed to have a load on her mind, appeared In terror, and finally police officers were called and tho negro taken to another room. Then the woman broke down and revealed the fact that ber husband bad killed the child by smothering It, as he had often aald he would do, and had threatened, if she told, he would kill ber. Sho further stated that be had threat ened to take her life and had once at tempted to strike her with an axe. Tbe babe waa taken charge of by the coroner and the negro placed under a rest. Sticks to Ills Story. Put through a sweat last evening by County Attorney Horth, the negro firmly denied having intentionally killed tbe child though he admitted that he had placed the pillow over its bead. ' Ho charged that his mother-in-law had suggested to bis wife to poison him and that, again, there were people afte.- his horse, which he had mort gaged for the first month's rent of tbe house to a psrty who is resident in this city, and which makes tbe latter story pre posterous. Tbe negro, however, would not confess, notwithstanding tba strong evi dence against him. Mrs. Baxter was placed on the witness stand before the coroner's Jury this morn ing and told practically tbs sauiS story ss given to the county attorney, making mors her new home in Keith county. Her sin ters of the corps presented her with a beau tiful corps pin as a tostlr.-onhil of tbe es teem In which she was held by them.
