P"rini diaT Correnpondfiit ) MNTOLN, DfC 1. f Sp'-I;il ) Notwith standing that the only evidence that an Inaane pih nl klll1 S'. V. MrCHrtnry. Is the statement, of the inenne m'irderer and the fuel that the two men were aup'-.wd to be alone In the ward at the time of the murder,' It la very probnhle that no further Investigation will be n.ade Into the mat ter by the 8tate Hoard of Public I At nun and UullUma;. Ttio roaoon fur this la that Frank" McCartney, brother of the dead linn, was caJled to Uneoln at the time of the murder and expreaRed hlmFelf a be ing satisfied vlth the statement of the in sane man. I)'. Greene talked with Mr. Mcf'artney ovm the telephone till nwrnlnc and the latter cxrrefd hla refret that the affair became public aad aald be wa aatiHfW-d with tha lnvftlrtion made at the time. While the clrruinetancea point to the death of McCartney at the hands of Itr. -Ancona, as a;iven out by the superinten dent of the Institution, no ona there has yet fls-ured out how the murder could have occurred. Kach man had hla hands tied down In front of hlni, strapped to his WHlst, so that neither could raise hla hand tiwre than two or three inches and neither could move them for more than a few Itichrs In any direction. The men were said to have been about the same alzo and Of about equal StrenKth. Governor Mickey aald thla afternoon that when tha relatives of the dead innn were notified of -the circumstances and were satisfied with the Investigation, he thought the board hud dona Ita duty and that I)r. Jreene bad done ail that he rouM. lie placed the blame to tha fact that the In stitution Is too crowded and that It wus necessary to double up the two men for the time being". The publication of the murder story thla morning created considerable surprise around the atte house. Treasurer Morten sen and Secretary of State Marsh, who, besides Governor Mickey, were the only member of tha board In the oity today, said they remembered that Superintendent tjreene. had reported the matter and that Krank McCartney had been satisfied with the Investigation. Secretary Marsh said he had forgotten about the matter, while Mr. Mortensen said he thought It, was the duty of Governor Mickey to give out the Information If it waa to be given out. Other Incidents Reported. Since the publication of the murder tory members of the Board of Public landa and Buildings have begun to re member other stories connected with the institution that have been reported by Dr. Greene, but which have not yet appeared in print. One of thtse stories had to do with a 'fight between an attendant and a patient that for a while looked as though two deaths would result. The patient was Frank Btanek, a Bohemian. He had been reowlved at the Institution one afternoon and assigned to his ward. During the night he wrenched a pleoe of Iron rod from the bedstead and when tha attendant, Patrick K. Hleaon, brought him breuxrast the next morning, he struak Bleson over the head with the Iron. Bleson ran from the room with tha maniac following him and strik ing him. Bleson called for help and with the assistance of three or four attendants and patients, tha man was overpowered. Una of the attendants, named Kurtx, waa so strenuous In his seal to knock out the patient that ha was suspended pending an investigation. The two men hovered between life and death for Several daya, both finally recov ering just a few days ago. The wife of the patient was sent for and she was satisfied with the explanation of the hospital officers. Stanek has been returned home, it is un tleratod. Another death due to the carelessness . of an attendant oouurred In the Institution about a year ago. The victim was named . MoTue. The attendants were lining boil ing water from a bath tub and the patient waa watching them. 'While the attendant was paying no attention to the patient he 1 gradually turned on the faucet, which let ;1he boiling water into the tub. The tub became full before the attendant . nutioed It and the patient had thrown himself into the water. Hla death was a matter of a short time. This afternoon Coroner Graham, who In vestigated this death and the death of Mc Cartney, said McCartney's desth could hava been accomplished by Ancora if the former had been sitting ou the floor. Had Ancora Jumped on McCartney while he was down ha could have choked ' him, while the latter would be unable to urni hands. Coroner Graham believes that Dr. Greene has been fortunate In not having more deaths than he has because of the crowded condition of the asylum. , Another death that probably would bear Investigation Is thst of A. W. Shaffer of Uncoln, The records at Heu ton's under taking rooms, from which the deceased was burled, show that he cams to his death from organic disease of tha brain with a fraotuie of the femur, contributing. A satisfactory" explanation of the man's death has not yet been supplied the rela tives, though It occurred last February. !iiiiiffi're, THI DO!

A number of statements published re cently that the new oil company In Lincoln was not getting a square deal from State Oil Inspector Church Is disproved by this letter from the company to Mr. Church: MARSHALIrOWN. la-.

Dream la Rtpriilre, The dream of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Bar rett to erect a museum In Lincoln that would be a credit to the west, with a donation from Andrew Carnegie, has faded Into mist, as most dreams do, and now a Utile band of business men that also did some dreaming are paying off a note for 11,000 that was given to pay the ex penses of Mrs. Barrett, who went to seek out Mr. Carnegie In his home In Scotland. Mr. Carnegie refused the donation. Mr. Barrett will nuike good the money spent to thosa who endorsed the note. For years and years the Barretts have had visions of a magnificent museum built of granite and towering to the heavens, and when Andrew Carnegie burst Into sight as the builder of libraries he was at once thought to be the proper person to 'csrry the dream in effect. So. Mrs. Barrett and Mr. Barrett, with a number of business men. concluded that the first named should go to New York and see the man of means. She went and found that Carnegie had gone to Scotland. Thither she went also. There he had an Interview with -the big man's secretary and that was all. She failed to got the money. Mrs. Barrett is now In Omaha and Mr. Barrett Is con. nected with -the historical society here. The note came duo today and this released the story that for months Lincoln people have been afraid to breathe, believing that It would scare off Carnegie. Coll Gets a Pardon. Governor Mickey today commuted the sentence of George Coll, from Dawes county, sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years for murder. Coll was tried twice and both times received the same sentence.

HAZING RESOLUTION CAUSES DISCUSSION Hense Refaaea to Make Reeolatloa Restorlag Tkree Xaval (aseta F.iBellea for Haslag a Special Order. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1!', The house today emphatically disavowed the proposition to hold the inaugural ball In the capitoi build ing. The committee hiring the matter In charge had asked for the pension building and the senate resolution bad provided for the use of the congressional library, but Mr. Morrell. who called the matter up. an nounced that opposition was so great that the committee had concluded to substitute the capltol building. A storm of protests came from both sides of the -chamber. The resolution offered by Mr. Morrell was voted down. The house also voted down a resolution making a special order on January t to re store to the naval academy three naval cadets who were dismissed for hazing. Contlderabale discussion was precipi tated over a motion to suspend the rules and take up a bill to open a homestead settlement and entry of relinquished and undisposed of portions of the Round Valley Indian reservation. California Mr. Liver nash (Cal.) bitterly opposed tha measure. While his colleague, Mr. Bell, made sn earnest plea for Its passage. On the vote being taken the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A bill also was passed, under suspension of the rules, to exclude from the Yoeemlte National park, California, certain lands and to attach them to the Sierra forest re serve. Debate on Hasina Resolatlon. A resolution by Mr. Lacey (la.) making the bill to restoro three midshipmen, John Henry Irffland, Earl- Worden Chaffee and Joseph Drummond Little, members of the first class, I'nlted States Naval academy who were dismissed for hazing, a special order after January 5, caused some criti cism. Mr. Lacey sought to pass the reso lution under a suspension of the rules and Messrs. Mann (111 ). Fitzgerald (N. Y.) and Williams (Miss.) contended that the case of these midshipmen could not be given pref erence when there were so many matters of vast public Importance which could not get time for consideration. The practice of hazing was severely con demned by Mr. Payne (N. Y.), who said it was neither manly or decent The bill, as he had hoped, was finally put to rest at the last session. In a few vigorous remarks Mr, Brick (Ind.) defended thelhrea midshipmen who. he said, had been dismissed for a trivial offense. The house , refused to adopt the resolution 33 to 77. The Philippine government bill, with the senate amendments, was referred to the committee on Insular affairs. No Place for Iaangraral Ball. Mr. Morrell (Pa.) moved the passage, un der suspension of tha rules, of the senate bill providing for the inauguration of the president, amended so as to provide that the inaugural ball shall be held In the Capltol building Instead of the Con gressional library. Tha bill as passed by the senate authorized the Pension office to be used for this purpose. The house amended it so as to grant the use of the Congressional library, but Mr. Morrell said that the opposition to the 'latter place had been so great that the, district committee now urged the Capltol building. Mr. Mor rell gave several reasons ror not agreeing with the senate to utilize the Pension building, among them being the enormous number of valuable documents which would have to be disarranged, the risk of fire and the fact that business would be prac tically suspended for a month. The Capl tol building, he argued, was an ideal place for the ball, on accout of having its own police force, its own heating and lighting plants, broad corridors and rotunda and many exlta Mr. Williams (Miss.) said it would be petty to raise an objection at this time to using a government blulding for the ball, but called attention to a promise by the people of the district of Columbia given to a committee of congress, that they would build a suitable place In which this quad rennial function should be held. He scored the Inaugural committee for having re fused In the past to restore to the orlglral condition reservations of space reserved for stands or other structures. Amend ment by him was adopted requiring the inaugural committee to glva bond guaran teeing to repair all damage dona Baker Ridicules the Function. Explaining that Jits objection was not based on President Roosevelt's personality Mr. Baker (N. Y.) said that If the custom of "mixing up of public duties with social functions was a wrong one. it was the duty of the housa to oppose that function regardless of the fact that It had been the custom 100 years or more." What he objected to, he said, was that of a few individuals getting together "for their own Bocial prestige." . Mr. Liiiter put the house in an uproar when he declared that the object of the ball waj to give opportunity to the wealthy "to parade their Jewels, their gowns and their finery ao that It can go all over the L'nlted States that Mrs. Tom Jones at tended the president's ball, and that she was arrayed In such and such finery, which Is believed to have cost ts.ooo. By an emphatic "no" the house voted down the resolution. I'nder suspension of the rules a bill was passed to aid the Western Alaska Con tructlon company. A CIVIL WAR CAPTAIN Talks to the Point. "Until about two years sgo I had had piles for about thirty yeara, at times bleeding and very painful. I got a fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure at the drug store, and used It and waa entirely cured; got another box In case 1 'needed It, and as the pilea did not return In six months I gave the remedy to a friend of mine who wanted the doctor to operate to cure h'm. My friend said he would use the "pyra mids," but he knew they would do him no good, but they cured him of plies of twenty nve years standing. I am free from plies today, and have been since using Pyramid Pile Cure. I was Captain in the Civil War." James Adams, Soldiers Home, Cal. The majority of lawple labor under the impression that an operation is necessary in severe cases of piles, or hemorrhoids, and are very skeptical regarding the reme dial virtues of any medicinal compound. Testimony like the above should certainly have a tendency to dispel this Impression, although It is odd that such a fallacy should prevail, and still more odd that so many people snouia mink an operation effects a permanent cure, whereas the con trary is more often the rase. We advise all sufferers from this painful complaint to buy a fifty-cent package of Pyramid Pile Cure at any drug atore and try it tonight. Those interested cannot be too strongly urged to write Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., for their little book describing the causes and cure of Piles, as It contains valuable Information and is sent fret for UiO as Win ( TROUBLES OF A WORKING GIRL Lon j Hours, Continual Strain Insufficient or Badly Chosea Food, All Help to Wreck Her Heath. CONSTANT STANDING IS WEAKENING. Just a Few Plain Words of Advice to the Working- Girl About the Pitfalls Around Her. The working girl Is Increasing In our midst. All professions and trades need her ser vices. But she Is csreless about her health, snd has not yet learned how to husband her strength and vitality, as man has. Every employer will tell you how often his female help Is away sick perhaps Just sick enough not to do a proper amount of work He may lose her labor. Rha may lose her wages. But these are small matters compared with the enormous loes to the working girl herself, which every day of sickness brings. She Is losing herself. Her vitality. Her happiness and pleasure In life. Remember, girls, that every minute of sickness may be eating up Just so many hours out of your life. Remember, that you can do a great deat for yourself by taking Wine of Cardul. Wine of Cardul Is neither spirits nor dan gerous drugs, but Just pure blood-making. tissue-building, strengthening, curative medicinal plant extracts, that scientific re search haa shown have a specific action on all the female organs and functions. Wine of Cardul builds you up never lets you down. Working girls have more troubles than most women, partly because business forms a constant strain on them, when employed In the store or office. Whether employed In factory or store. constant standing, or even constant sitting, Is weakening to their Internal organs. No matter what treatment or medicine they may take, they cannot depend upon a real cure unless they take Wine of Car dul, for no other medicine or treatment la so specific In Its action upon the female organization or constitution. Mrs. Bessie F. Smlther, of 110S Maple St., Louisville, Ky writes: "I feel It my duty to thank you for the good done me by Wine of Cardul. I was nervous, worn-out and on the verge of a general break-down, hut Wine of Cardul gave me Instant relief, and now I am perfectly well. I strongly recommend It as a reliable cure for any woman who suffers from female trouble as I did." I wish I could put It to you plainly enough, how Important It Is for you (be cause you nre a woman), to obtain Imme diate treatment. If you are sick. This constant "puttlnr off 'till tomorrow" will certainly bring you a thousand fold of punishment here on earth If you let It In fluence you In the matter of taking care of your health. Why, dear woman, you are exactly like Humpty Dumpty on the wall. Any day, any minute, may come the final Jar to your delicate, egg shell-like, nervous system, which will lead to that final tern ble fall, which nothing will avail to place you again upon your pinnacle of health. Wine of Cardul Is what you need to pre vent that dreadful fall. Wine of Cardul, and nothing else, will do it. But, Wine of Cardul while It can per form wonders as compared with other medicines and methods of treatment can not do impossibilities. If you wish to obtain the best help it can give, begin today to ry It for your trouble. Give It a chance and you will soon Joiij In the vast cry of thanks going up from the hearts of over a million and a half women whom It has cured of troubles Just as bad as yours.
