The police and Surgeon Wills hurl led to
1S South Thirteenth nt 10 o'clock last night
In response to a messige that Henry Weber,
who lives with hla wife at that place, had
taken -aldose of morphine with suicidal
intent. Weber was round lo lie In good
condition and Wills discovered thai the
sjpiajtifd morphine was only headache
powders. Weber had taken some of these
and told his wife that he hud taken poison.
He objected strongly to a hypodermic In
jection and asked why he could not be
allowed to die and go to heaven.
Mrs. Weber wa beside herself with grief
aud much relieved thai her husband was
not more anxioua to die than to take a
comparatively harmless drug. Weber is a

ICE THREATENS JWQ BRIDGES
l.omra En lamer HtVuef ores at Klk
City and alley Over F.lkhorn
and I'latle.
The County commisifioners held a meet
ing of the committee of the whole Friday
morning to consider the condition of tho
bridge across the Flkjiorn at Klk City
und across tho Platte at Valley. Both of
them are said to tie In danger on account
of threatened ice gorges. County Engineer
Heal has decided to use dynamite to break
away the ice under the structures In the
hope the Ice floes which are said to be
coming down stream will not corge at the
bridsres. It was reported u part of the
brldae over the Platto- at Fremont had
been carried away and the lowlands were
being inundated, owing to a Jam which
dammed the river.
The bridge at F.1U City Is said to be In a
precarious condition, owing to the fact it la
undergoing repairs and I resting on tem
porary piling. The Standard Bridge com
pany ia replacing one of the pier. The
contract for the work was let last fall,
but the company did not begin operations
until after the work should have been
finished, according to the contract. The
bond was given to cover only tho cost of
the repair 'work :uid not the value of the
bridge, which is a steel structure and
wortli probably $15,000. The board Is In
j doubt as lo the effect of Its allowing tin
wora 10 ne ocgun alter the time specilled
in the contract and as to whether the
bond would be good under those clrcuiu
Fiances. In case the bridge gois out Ihe
county might hold the bridge company re
sponsible for damages sustained. A re
port from Elk City Friday morning wits
that tho brklKe wag resting on only three
piles, but seven or eight new support were
being driven. The ice had not begun to
collect.
County Attorney Slabaugh has been
usked tor a writ if ii opinion on the legal
questions involved.
The comiiiissioiiei s spent the ai'leriioon
discussing various plans for the repair of
the Klk City bridge und at the close of
the meeting authorised , County Kugineer
Beal lo decide between several proposals.
Before the work was la'gun the commis
sioners decided to rebuild the :W where
It stood, hut owing to the nature of the
bed of tne river this-was found lo be Im
possible. The contractors are now waiting
for the commissioners to decide on an-olhe:-
plan.
It 1 said the delay lu starling tlu work
was due to the fact the water In ihe river
' too high during the summer to per
mit the taking out of Ihe old pier. Then
the work wus started and It was found Ini
IHissible to carry out the plan decided on
by the commissioner. Since then the con
tractors have lieen waiting for the com
missioners lo decide on a new plan. U la
believed Hie work done on the te:iinorury
plles will prevent any damage lo the
blidtte by the ice.
PLAN TO HELP COUNTY ROADS
Sal aaiiu Has Urbrinr f laiprvirairal
ta Mahmit ta tha
Board.
County Commiedoner Solomon lias a plan
for the improvement of country roads
which he will submit soon at a meeting of
the board. He believes it would be advisa
ble for the county to buy about fifty drag
which could be loaned to farmer who
would promise to use them on the roads
adjacent to their farms. The drags would
not coat more than $j each aud tbey are
said to be valuable In leveling and harden
ing the roads after a heavy rain. Tbey are
used on race tiacks and have been recom
mended by good road experts. It Is be

nate their time for the sake of securing;

The above program wa given be.'oro a
repreRpnlntive house of music lovers at the
Lyric last night. The artists were Mile.
Klsa Ruegger and Mi Marie Nichols, who
by a happy combination of dates were
brought here together lo give the last of
the Chase concert.
Miss laab'.llc Moore, a very talented
young Boston woman, accompanied them
in a muslciaidy manner. She showed her
self possessed of splendid technique and tho
rather unuuul art of bringing her work
down fo the second plnce, than which there
In nothing more desirable in an accompan
ist. Mis Nichols did splendid execution tin
her lieautlfully toned violin. Heh teclini
m hrciiilth and 1 ieor of bow inc were
crtui'kH nil uvr the house. When one'.
stops to think that it takes Juat so many
IKtunds of pressure to produce a full, well
rounded tone, it is a very remarkable thing
when tin artist roc through such a -"ruber
a Mendelsshon's "Andante" and "Fi
nale" with hurdly a break In Ihe fullness
of melody.
Miss Nichols plaed to the best arvuntagc
In her Russian number. Perhaps she lacks
depth of feeling, but tliut depends some
what on the attitude of the listener as well
as the performer. She responded lo- the
"Scene de la Csarda" with a charming en
core. Miss Ruegger, however, carried off the
honors of the evening. She has a veiv
reserved and dignified manner, thoroughly
Intel) -ctuiil and seems utterly absorbed in
her work while plaing. Tlila talented young
Belgian woman Is making tier third tour
of the country and each year she aaina in
deptli and breadth of perception. Her cello
la a tine one nnd such tones as were
brought out laat night are seldom beard.
They were so det! broad and with that
mournful under current to them that il
fairly made the Ifart stand still.
I The Bocchcrini Sonata In A major was
tlnely rendcr'-d, the adagio movement be
ing most noteworthy of the two parts. Tho
Chooln nocturne was her best solo num
ber, she evidently being Just the kind of a
person that can Interpret that master. Af
ter the (b of the fourth number Miss
Ruegger delighted her listeners with
Schumann's "Traiimuii" In response to an
insistent encode.
The trio numbers were very well given,
the opening number being the more finished
iu style. It Is easily understood after this
concert why tbee young women have met
with such decided ucces at every api
pea ram e.
