CLARKE'S FATE YET UNSETTLED
Governor klra Has Wet Indicate

""""'
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Dec. 1L (Special Telegram.)
The railroad commission has received no
tice that the Interstate Commerce commis
sion will send a representative to Lincoln
December It to listen to the complaint 'of
the state officials that the Union Pacific
road is charging- too much for hauling coal
from Wyoming to Nebraska points. The
complaint has not been on the docket many
weeks and the state board was taken by
surprise at the celerity of the national
commission. Commissioner Clarke has fa
miliarised himself with the facta and he
la now out of the city, hanoa It Is not
known whether the board will be sufficiently
posted to push the case now.'
The . case la baaed n the tariff sheet of
the railroad, which charges equal amount
for long and short hauls of - coal from
Wyoming to Nebraska cities. '
Oovernor Sheldon spent another busy day
digging Into the records In the case of
Harrison Clarke, who has applied for a
commutation of the death aettence for the
I murder of Edward Flury. Unless the chief
rjoiuuvB imeneres ciarxe win De nangea
Friday between the hours of Jl a. m. and
I P. ra. The execution will "occur in the
state penitentiary, where the gallows are
always In readiness, the state some years
ago having passed a law requiring that all
executions be -held at the state prison.
So far two executions have been held under
that law,"N1egenflnd and Rea.
The governor had a long- conference with
Wain and Qathrtght, Clarke's pals In the
commission of. the murder, each of whom
received a penitentiary sentence, last night,
but he is still undoclded of his duty In
the premises. It was his hope that by
talking to these men In their cells separ
ately he could learn the truth of the mur
der and just who fired the fatal shot. If
either of them knew, as Qathrlght contra
dicted himself on several occasions at the
hearings Monday and Tuesday. What these
men told him last night the governor would
not say today, but he evidently was not
yet clear In his mind, for late this after
noon he again went to the penitentiary and
Interviewed them. lie had read carefully
ths record In the case, but as this record
was passed upon by (the supreme court, any
action the governor may take, should he
grant the plea of Clarke, will be upon
evidence which does not appear- In, the
record of the trial In the jllstrlct court.
He has been glve'n - statements by Judge
Sutton, the trial judge, and by Judge 81a
baugh, the county attorney who prose
cuted Clarke, and both of these men said
Clarke had a fair trial., It la very prob
able the governor will, take all the time ho
has to arrive at a decision.

Cobber Oct Boar.
A. E. Cobbey, the author of Cobbey's
Statutes, has evidently started a campaign
among the members of the late legislature
to get them to Influence Secretary of State
Junktn to reconsider his decision not to
buy 400 copies of Cobbey's Statutes for
$3600. Letters from the members of the
1 legislature have begun to reach the secre
tary, most of them telling him that it was
the Intention of the legislature to make
an appropriation for Cobbey's .Statutes, no
matter what the. bill reads. One senator,
however, evidently got mixed up. for he
wrote that he knew the legislature wanted
Cobbey's Statutes, the single volume
cheaper statute. The single volume statute
Is Wheeler's. Mr. Junkin has left the
courts to say which statute to purchase,
though so far neither Cobbey nor Wheeler

TOKEN OF FRIEND TO FRIEND
la Mesaorlom, Delia M. Woodford,
br One Wis Knew
Her.
Life has Its triats that ti-et the fiber, Its
sorrows that rend the heart, but these
strengthen the one and develop the other,
until there comes the nobility that Is virile
and the many sided virtues that aae last
ing, to serve as a helping and sustaining
power to the good not only of self, but to
the greater benefit of those who observe
andare sustained and helped by the ob
servance. In the life of Delia M. Wood
ford there were trials and sorrows, but
from them came a spirit with strength to
support In all afflictions and a mind and
heart filled with that which was sweetest
and best.
To be born, spend the days of childhood,
grow to womanhood and enter the mar
riage relation In Massachusetts; live In
Connecticut during the early years of mar
ried life, then to take on the activities of
the new and developing west by residence
In Wisconsin; remove during the days of
stress and storm of the great civil conflict
to Tennessee and be a part of the arduous
life there in the midst of war and In the
still more trying time of reconstruction;
live there to raise a family under circum
stances most perplexing; to reach at last
a haven f ret In Omaha, Neb., with chil
dren whose lasting love and deep devotion
was the consoling solace of the declining
years of life; finally to receive the peace
which passeth understanding In the quiet
ending of things earthly at the age of
83, Is the story of the life of Delia M.
Woodford, bom at Southwlck, Mass., In
1824, died at Omaha, Neb.. December ,
1907, and whose mortal remains have been
taken by loving hands to rest by tbe side
of loved ones at Nashville, Tenn.
To her living daughters, Mrs. J. M. Hud
son rand Mrs. Charles N. Diets, go the
heartfelt sympathy . and- earnest love of all
who know them.
The chief characteristic of Mrs. Wood
ford, coming naturally out of the life ahe
led, was her, love for her fellows. From
her came ever, words of gentleness, breath
ing the spirit. of falthi love and charity.
To her kin there was devoted fondness
and a pathetic Incident of her last hours
was the reading of a letter from a grand
son, full of kindly messages, and her ex
pressed desire that the letter should be
placed upon her body and be burled with
her. -
To this loving heart was Joined a mind
of rare Intelligence and appreciative force.
Joined to a clear conception of transpiring

showed such rare Intelligence that they
were esteemed and read and re-read with
enjoyment. Never In them and never from
her came words of condemnation or depre

well filled experience, was to bear and for
bear, and upon these words hang all the
law, both human and divine.
She leaves no void, for the place filled

BOYS PAY WELL FOR , PRANK
One Has Broken Lege . aa Reeoli of
Dorlaar Folly with m
Horse.
Wesley Moravec, a boy living at Nine
teenth and O streets; Bouth Omaha, kicked
a horse Wednesday morning and la !aid up
In the South Omaha hospital with a broken
leg. The horse was being driven to a
grocery wagon belonging to John Capuran,
Twenty-first and 8 streets. The driver was
a boy named Johnnie Pscchar.
Moravec and a friend named John Mllota
were out enjoying themselves, so they
Jumped into the grocery wagon against the
will of the boy driving it and ordered him
to take them driving, It is said. The boy
said the horse did not go to- suit them and
Moraveo stepped out on the singletree and
administered a few sound kicks. The horse
took fright and ran west on Q street for
several blocks. The animal gained a ter
rific apeed and at the bottom- of the hill
at Twenty-alxth and Q collided with an Ice
wagon. The shafts of tho 'wagon were
shattered and It was upset, throwing the
boys many yards through the air. The
driver and Mllota were unhurt, but Mora
veo landed on his left leg, breaking It be
tween the knee and the ankle. He was
attended by Dr. Koenlg, who ordered him
to the South Omaha hospital. Mllota said:
J'We' were walking up the street and Just
thought we would have a little ride, that's
all.
John Capuran Is of the opinion the boys
should pay the damage to the horse and
wagon, but thinks otherwise they have pun
ishment enough.

"I want my frlenda to send me some
thing practical for Christmas something I
can use about my room or home."
Something like 1,000 young women make
this remark in tha stores of Omaha each
day, according to the woman floor walker
In one of tbe big department pf ores,
"Something she can use about her home
or room," said the Information bureau on
the floor. "That la quite a new thing for
the girls. Usually it Is something to wear
or something to eat, hut this year It Is
something useful. Whether It Is the wave
of economy sweeping over the country like
a northwestern wind . descending on. a
bltxsard-cursed steppe or whether the. girls
have had an attack of scrupulous con
science I cannot discover But they all
want something for the home this year
sofa cushions, pictures, dishes, articles for
the library or even pieces of furniture."
Marriage License Clerk Charles Furay
was' tapping hla desk with a -pencil
Wednesday, aa he looked over the solid
mahogany railing of his den In the county
Judge's office. ,A smile lit up the face,
usually sad with the troubles of others,
when he heard a -young woman clerk In
the office make the same remark which the
floor walker has heard so 'many times.
Then, without saying a word, he walked
to the vault' and took down a big book.
Without the assistance of an adding ma
chine he put down a string of figures and
then remarked: "Only 1,717 marriage li
censes Issued so far this year a very low
record. But It will hvdoubled next year.
The fee have been something like $3,400.
They will be at least $7,500 during 1908."
Looklaa for Information.
Just then a little woman stepped Into the
office. She was more attractive than the
"rag and bone and hank of hair," and the
clerk looked over his glasses.
' "I'm looking for information," she said.
"I can tell you' anything you want to
know," explained Furay, "A marriage li
cense clerk Is the village tip, he meets all
trains and anawers all questions."
' "Oh. I am so glad," said the woman.
"When does the law take effect when
everyone must get out a marriage license T"
"Just at midnight on January L 1908,
when the clock strikes 11 and then stops
like the gathering of another stroke within
the bell," explained the eloquent clerk.
"Just at the moment between 1907 and 190S,
when It will seem for a time that Father
Time has fallen asleep and Is going ' to
allow men and women to live along without
growing older."
"Oh, how happy I am," screamed the
little woman. "What does a marriage li
cense cost?"
"Two plunks per." shuddered tbe contract
writer.
"Oh, that's not much after alL I will be
able to save that in four weeks."
"Why are you so happy?" said the In
quisitive one. --
"Certainly, next year Is leap year leap
