the morning- of October 24, 1902, waa re
ceived her. yesterday evening. The word
came by a telephone message from H. C.
Lindsay, cleric of the supreme court, to C.
H.. Aldrlch, one of the attorneys for Mrs.

. LUlla as soon as received.
M Mr. Aldrlch says that when he Informed

few moments she was conversing with him
and Mrs. West in her accustomed manner,
but expressing her complete surprise at the
decision of the court, and again accusing
many of the witnesses who testified against
" her a having commltteed perjury. BherlfC
West tays from all appearances she 1.
taking the decision with the same coolness
as .be did the verdiot of the Jury finding
her guilty and fixing the penalty at life
Imprisonment, on March S, 1903.
Her father, James Hill, who reside, at
Bell wood, was notified immediately, upon
(he receipt of the news In this city. He
came to. pavld City at one. and' with Mr.
Aldrlch Called on Mrs. Lillle at the oounty
Jail, where a long consultation was had.
Matt Millar, one of Mrs.' Utile's attorneys,
1. In BL Louis, but Mr. Aldrlch say. they
will file a motion for a rehearing without
delay. Mrs. Lillle Is said to have stated
last night thar If the was refused a re

would appeal the case to the United States

cent of this crime and would exhaust every
legal right before going to the penitentiary
for life. ,
This morning . Mr. Hill, the broken
hearted mother of Mrs. Lillle. aocompunleJ
1 by the daughter, little Edna Lillle, and
niece. May Utile, . came down from Bell

they spent most of the day. '
Home, time ago Mr. Lillle commenced
actions . In the district court against the
Ancient Order of United Workmen, Modern
Woodmen of America end Tribe of Ben
Jlur for the amount of the beneficiary cer
tificates oarrled by her husband and In
which she was named ss the beneficiary.
Just what disposition will be made of those
cane. 1. not known, but It Is rumored that
the attorneys Interested In those cases all
agree that If Mrs. Lillle was finally taken
to the penitentiary for life that she could
not recover on those certificates, but that
the Insurance would go to the only child
and heir, little Edna.
' Mrs. Lillle, notwithstanding she has been
confined In the Butler county Js!l for more
than one year. Is In good health.
Since the new. of the sentence being

GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. July X.-(6pe-ctal.)
Sportsmen and lovers of nature
generally have been given a rather unusual
opportunity to observe bird and game lire
In this city recently. A prairie hen, with
her consort, were found hatching out a
sttlng of eggs In a grain elevator,- two
blocks from the heart of the business sec
tion of the city and In close proximity to
the big Union Paclflo railroad yard and
but one block away from the depot. They
have now hatched their brood and taken
the chicks away. The unusual feature lies
In the feet that but fifty feet away more
railroad switching Is done than In any
other part of the yards. Sportsmen point
to It .. an evidence that under the new
game law and Its stricter enforcement
bird, are.no longer so wild and more plentiful.

NORTH PLATTE. Neb.. July l.-(Sp-elal.)
On July L 1604, so far as railroad
business Is concerned, this city passes from
under the jurisdiction of the officials at
Omaha and become, a (tart of the Wyo
ming division, undor the supervision of
Superintendent W. L. Park. Superin
tendents William A. Deuel of Omaha and
William L. Park of Cheyenne were here
this week, and among other matters con
sidered the advisability of changing from
eastern to western time in connection with
the shops here, and they have asked the
city officers to make the change official.
This will push North Platte back , one
hour and bring official and sun time very
nearly together.

CALLED DOWN.
A Kansas J edge Talk Business to a
Life Insurance "Policy Holder.'
Claim Agent."
.Though there are over a million policies
In force la the standard American life com
panies, representing a total of comethlng
like 12,000,000,000 insurance, there are .till
occasionally men to be found who assert
that they alone-ant i "on" to the alleged
fact that the companies are not doing the
square' thing by the members and that
they, ' the wise few Indicated, are the boys
to set things right; if they are paid for It,
One such has Just been "called down" by
a well known Judge in a Kansas court. The
party in question, a lawyer, had succeeded
In drumming up over 100 policies from In
sured men, whom he had partly convinced
that they were not being treated fairly and
that he could make the companies toe
the mark. The Judge told him
that no reputable attorney would be in that
kind of business and expressed his disap
proval of his scheme and methods In no
unoertain terms.
Thi. will probably cool the ardor of that
particular "policy holders' agent" and open
the eyes of the parties who had entrusted
their contracts- to him. But there will
doubtless always be sporadic cases of mis
led policy holder, everywhere willing to be
lieve that companies which are paying
death claims at a total rate of nearly $100,
000 a day, and whose actions are hardly
challenged from one' year's end to another,
are in some mysterious way going to deal
unfairly with the members and that ob
scure outside claim agents can bring them
to time In short order.
To such as these, and Indeed to all others,
it can be safely said that the policy holder
everywhere has only to pay his premiums
and the companies will Infallibly do the
rest to the satisfaction of hi family when
he dies or to his own If he holds an endow
ment contract and Uvea it out. They have
been doing this since the date of organisa
tion, having paid losses of this kind to a
grand total of nearly or quite 13,000.000,000.
and they will be doing It when every hu
man being now on the face of the earth
I at sleep with hi. fathers.
