stockholders of this Panama canal, the
most gigantic undertaking they have ever
been Interested In," said Mr. Bhonts, "and

for them. Therefore our policy will be to
work precisely as we have worked In
building and operating great railroad lines.
There will be monthly reports made of
progress, of the amount of funds expended
and the outlook for the work, just as rail
roads report to their stockholders. The
reports will be filed regularly In Washing
ton, so that every congressman, every offi
cial of the government and the public
will be fully, reliably and frequently In
formed as to what Is being done with
their funds In Panama.
"We are all pitching In with our coats
off, and there will be no time lost either
now or in the future. We have under
taken the tank for the American people.
we recognize the great responsibility rest'
Ing on us and we are going out to "make
good' In a way that will please not only
President Roosevelt and Justify hi con
fldence In us, but will also bring us the
approval of all the people of the nation

LINCOLN, April 7. (Special.) Governor
Mickey this morning grabbed hold of the
plum tree and shook It hard enough to
dislodge a number of good, Juicy plums
and incidentally the shake has had the
effect of ending to a considerable extent
that melancholy feeling which has over
spread the statehouse since the first of the
year. Of the fruit that fell this morning
only one plum was grabbed by an out
sider, that Is by one who Is not now on
the payroll of the mate. Dr. Thomas,
state veterinarian, gives way to Dr. Charles
McKim of Norfolk. Another shake of the
tree will be given shortly, however, and
Mrs. Stewart, at present stenographer to
Gajne Warden Carter, will have to go back
to regular work to make room for the
wife of the game warden. This follows
the precedent established by the supreme
court In appointing the wife of Commis
sioner Duffle to be his stenographer.
The appointments announced officially
this morning Include these: Edward A.
Church, chief oil Inspector; V. W. Hoyt o
York, W. G. Templeton of Omaha, E. C
Burns of Scrlbner, S. J. Johnson of Mln
den and II. J. Hull of Kearney, to be dep
uty oil Inspectors.
George Carter, game warden; W,
O'Brien, fish commissioner; E. Hunger and
D. E. Smith, deputies
John Davis, secretary to the State Board
of Charities and Corrections
The office force In the adjutant general's
office remains the same: General Culver,
adjutant; Major Phelps, Captain Davis and
Miss Bradley of Blair, who succeeded Miss
Greer as stenographer some time ago.
The office force In the governor's office
remains the same. Miss Greer some time
Ago having taken the place of Miss Walker.
This force Includes A. B. Allen, private
secretary; E. S. Mickey and Bookkeeper
Husted.
W. II. Thompson will be retained as food
commissioner.
The governor announced this morning
that he would not appoint the force In
the labor commissioner's office before July
1, and neither would he appoint a stenog
rapher In the oil office until May 1,
All of the state Institutions have been
supplied with their superintendents and
assistants except the Industrial Home at
Milford. At present Mrs. Shoaf Is in tem
porary charge.
From a statement made by Governor
Mickey this morning It Is Inferred there
will be no vacant places in the statehouse.
which Is taken to mean that there will be
some more reappointments when the proper
time rolls around.

Fixing; for Trouble.
Rev. Joseph Presson, who was recently
selected commandant of the Milford Sol
diers' Home. Is preparing for himself a
great big bunch of trouble if he follows
out a policy which it was reported he In
tended to inaugurate. Rov. Mr. Presson,
so it is announced. Intends to allow the
old soldiers, members of the home, to play
cards according to Presson rules, that Is,
have certain hours for this sport. Accord-
n to a statement of an old soldier, the
members of the home have nothing else
to do except play cards, billiards and pool,
and if they were to be treated like a kind
ergarten clous all the pleasure they have
n life would be taken rrom mem. as no
great roar has come from the home and
no applications have been received asking
for cannons and munitions or war, u is
presumed Rev. Mr. Presson has not yet
arplied this rule.
Grief Causes Suicide.
Brooding over the decree of the district
court, which separated him from his wife
and son, until he was driven insane, Anton
Bauer laBt night went to the rear of the
residence occupied by them and killed him
self. He shot himself In the brain with
revolver and the weapon was found be
side the corpse this morning.
Bauer had been married five years, most
of which time he and his wife lived in
Oregon, where their troubles first began.
About a yeur ago they returned to Lincoln,
but failing to get along together Bauer
moved to a farm near town and left his
child with his wife and two of her children
by a former marriage to reside in towi.
He frequently visited them, but a reconcil
iation was not affected. Some time ago
Mrs. Bauer entered suit for divorce and
the decree was handed down yesterday giv
ing her the custody of the child. This is
what broke the heart of Bauer. He loved
the child and wanted him. Before the
divorce proceedings were started the couple
agreed upon their finances, Mrs. Bauer was
to take JoOO and Bauer was to pay the costs
of the suit. Yesterday he paid over the
money after selling his farm, and put
1,000 in trust for his son. He was a mem
ber of the Ancient Order of United Work
men lodge and carried a $2,000 policy pay
able to his son.

EVIDENCE IN BROGIt MlRDER CASE
Fatber and Son (Innrrellno; Shortly
Before Finding; of Body.
GENEVA,' Neb., April 7. (Special.) The
following witnesses testified in the Broer
case today: Dr. Fltzsimons, county coro
ner; Dr. R. Wood, Peter Eggenberger,
Sheriff Page, and Isaac Steele of Ohiowa,
undertaker. Frank Theobold was the prin-
ipal witness for the state. He found father
and son quarreling while in a buggy on
the road Just before the old man's death.
Mr. Eggenberger made an official plat of
the ground and testified to Its correctness.
There Is talk of having the body exhumed
for examination.
Old Mr. Broer was found on the ground,
having fallen from the buggy, and the de
fence will endeavor to prove that his death
was caused by the horse stepping upon his
head. When Mr. Theobold left him he was
lying on the south side of the road about
eight feet from the fence, blood and false
teeth with rubber plate were found nearby.
When he returned a short time after with
help the body lay several feet northeast
f where he left him, where it seemed to
have been dragged head-nrst near the
middle of the road, and nearer the buggy.
The finding of the teeth seems to be an
important point and the question is
whether they belonged to the dead man
or not.
