Davis establishes an alibi and clears himself of the killing of Dr. Frederick T. Rustln early on the morn ing of September t, the entire effort of the police department may be turned toward Investigating another man, who will make the Rustln mystery a four-cornered murder and suicide plot, rivaling Robert Louts Stevenson's "Suicide Club." That Dr. Rustln joined two men at For tieth and Farnam streets, or In the neigh borhood of his home the evening before the tragedy, la the growing belief not only among the curious and rumor starters, but among attorneys who have a direct Interest in the case. County Attorney English does not believe this. Me Is Inclined to believe Dr. Rustln took a quiet smoke' on the ' comfortable porch of his own horns and probably spent the last three hours of his life smoking behind the vines in a big ship chair. The cigar stub on the porch Indicates this to Mr. English. But what Dr. Rustln did from U: until he was found dying by his wife at t o'clock Is a mystery. The county attorney does not connect either Kustln or Davis with the three men seen and heard by the Beckers In the vicin ity of Fortieth and Dodge streets between midnight and i a. m. If there is any new Information in the hands of the police or county prosecutor, It Is not being given out. County Attorney English is to have a talk with the Rio woman before she goes on the stand at the preliminary hearing and she may be able to add more information, perhaps tell something of a third man In the murder plot Looks for Third Maa. An attorney who Is concerned believes another man will appear on the scene in voluntarily and that Dr. Rustln had fallen In with characters through the Rice womsn and meeting her In various "rooming houses," who could be secured for a nomi nal sum to fire a shot which would take another's life. "Some Investigation has convinced me that Dr. Rustln knew members of a gang of desperate men," said this attorney. "And my Information has not come from friends of Davis, either. Some of the) characters with whom he associated were as des perate financially as the physician thought he was, and I believe It will develop that he talked the matter over of taking his own life with some desperate men, who, themselves, were bent on bettering their financial condition by desperate means. It was a suicide club In fact, this gather ing of men with the Rice woman and I believe Dr. Rustln was Influenced by their morbid Ideas and desperate tendencies. "As the mystery unfolds we will see that Dr. Rustln was not hopelessly In debt and I do not believe he was convinced that he wanted to take his own life, but some of the people with whom he talked thought It was the solution of the problem, and well, the killing followed." Mclatosh to Take Hold. J. H. Mcintosh, brother-in-law of Dr. Rustln, will arrive from Nsw York City Thursday morning. Mr. Mcintosh Is the sgency counsel for' the New 'York Life In surance company and an eminent attorney, who formerly practiced In Omaha. Frank T. Ransom, attorney for Mrs. Frederick T. Rustln, said matters would be placed In the hands of Mr. Mclntoatt as soon ss the attorney and relatives arrive, and that nothing would be done toward the collection of Insurance or adjusting the financial matters until Mr. Mcintosh be comes familiar with the case. Mr. Ran som said ha understood the Penn Mutual was ready to pay Mrs. Rustln 8,(00 at any time she called for It on the policy of Dr. Rustln. The Penn Mutual confirms this. ' Chief of Police J. J. Donahue has re turned from David City, where he went to attend the wedding of his son, and will continue his work on the case. Chief of Detectives Savage says nothing new has developed. The Rice woman la apparently enjoying life In the matron's department of the city jail, and insists on appearing at the up stslrs windows of the station fend "Joshing" with those who appear at the station. Twice Tuesday Csptaln Savage had her driven back from the windows and threat ened one of the men below who was talk ing with her with arrest It such conduct did not cease. OMAHA Y. M. C. A. UP HIGH lias Eighth the I.araest Member- (Ineat. The board of directors and the secretaries of the Yeung Men's Christian association met at the association looms Tuesday evening and the successful year which has just been passed and, plans for the new year were discussed. The new prospectus which has just been Issued shows how favorably the Omaha association compares with the branches ot the Institution In other cities, and the progress which has been accomplished was the subject ot an address by H. H. 11a Id rlge of the board of directors. In which he congratulated the executive staff on the fine showing and enthusiastic membership.

The malicious practice of sending In fire alarms has been causing the fire depart ment so much annoyance of late that a project is on foot to have the city council pass an ordinance making It a serious of fense to call out the fire wagons unnecessarily. City Electrician Mlchaelsen Is planning to put the matter before the council at the first opportunity. In reply to an Inquiry which he sent to Missouri Mr. Mlchaelson found that the legislature ot that state has enacted a law making It a. felony with a possible three year penitentiary sentence ot a tine of $600. This Is more severe than would bo advocated by the Omaha officials, but at present there is no law, state or local, which gives the police magistrate the right to punish such an offender. It Is proposed to offer a reward "of (36 for the detection of malicious meddlers, and It is hoped that this will be Inducement suffl cent to make catching them easier than it Is at present. ' "We have no objection to the sending In of an alarm when a porson really thinks that there. I a ' t lre,", atd Chief Salter, "It Is only the malicious people and the boys that we want to punish. I placed boxes with glass doors about the city In many places and the keys are kept just In side the glass door. It If were not for these boxes It would be, necessary to leawe the keys In nearby houses which might cause serious delay when a fire was act uully seen. The small, boys, however, and others, continually break the glass in these boxes and often ring in alarms. For that reason I have to remove the boxes with glass doors and use the much less satisfactory scheme of leaving the key In a house." t - r '''''i''Jii-'- ...u . i. ;- r; mi 70NTAJNS aa average of 6 per cent . olublefood (the carbohydrates of SETicd barley).

Judge Day Wednesday morning Issued a mandamus to compel the county board to pay a Judgment for $1,126 in favor ot John J. Ryan, allowed by the court some time ago for damage done to Ryan's property by the building of the West Q street via duct In South Omaha. Tuesday at a meet ing of the committee of the whole of the board a motion was passed rejecting the claims ot Ryan and Lehmer In whose favor a similar judgment was entered. In both cases the board several months ago decided in committee of the whole to leave the amount of damages to three ap praisers who were duly appointed and re turned an award ct $1,125 In each case. Deputy County Attorney Magney confessed Judgment because of the action of the board and the judgment was entered. When the question of paying the judg ment came up Trainer and Brunlng both opposed It, they had been against the plan of appointing appraiser In the first plsce. Ure voted with them. , WEATHER TO MATURE CORN Lack of Moist are aad High Tempera' tare Good for .Nebraska's Great Crop. Lack of mosture for the last week and the very high temperature has been favor able for maturing corn, according to the Burlington crop and soil . report for Ne braska. The fierce heat burned up some of the late corn which the farmers were hoping would make, but the loss In that way Is very small when compared to the entire crop. The estimate for the Lincoln division, where most of the corn Is grown. Is given at W per cent of the average crop or a yield of thirty-seven bushels to the acre. Fall plowing and seeding has been stopped In most localities because of the dry condition of the soli. On the Mc Cook division the soil was In better shape than In the other two divisions and con siderable plowing and seeding was done. The acreage of winter wheat is Increased over lsst fall. The peach crop has been gathered and Is good tn the eastern half of the state. There will be plenty of apples. A Bloods' Aalr Is lung hemorrhage.

MUFFINS WILL GO AT $110 DOZEN MIm Jessica Besack, Expert la Charge f Kitchen Departneal, Draws Plaaa for Soma Awards at Show. J Bread at $40 per loaf, corn muffins at $110 per doxen, ordinary kitchen aprons at 10, J12.50 and 40 each. These are some ct the prices which will be paid for "commodities" soon after the presidential election, whether Bryan Is elected or not and regardless of bumper crops, according to Jessica E. Besack, the expert In charge of the model kitchen de partment of the National Corn exposition. Miss Besack knows 9'1 ways 'of preparing corn for human beings to eat, and haa just published a few of the premiums which will be offered In her department. The prize for the beet loaf of btead Is a steel range worth $40 at wholesale, while half a dozen corn muffins will bring some woman a six-hole steel range worth 155, being at the rate ot 1110 per dosen. For doing a little patching on plain wool, figured silk and wash goods, the exposition offers prises worth 112.60. 'S and M0, while a prise apron will win a sewing machine. The model kitchen Is to be one of the features of the exposition. It will be so constructed that everyone may "know and hear what goea on In the kitchen," some thing which Is not slways possible even In well regulated households. All but forgotten dishes, of which ther Is a plenty of traditions, but a psuclty of recipes, will be explained tn terms of cups and spoons and pints until any woman who Is not a culinary degenerate will be able to serve the dishes which ths housewife of Puritan and cavalier days served, but 1 which have gone down thai UrueJ w ; whereon hsve vanished so many lost aria i Pannhause Is to be one of the star dishes In the kitchen. It , sounds bad. but the "queen of the kitchen" says the badness of Its sound is equalled by the goodness of Its taste. The Pennsylvania Dutch are the ones to be thanked for It and Miss Besack tided It over from the nineteenth to the twentieth after an old man who lived down lh the Blue Ridge mountains brought the recipe out of tho eighteenth century. The old man's father served pannhause to his guests and It made htm more famous than "U-needa head o' oats" made Bunny Jim. The dish Is made of cornmeal cooked for many hours with the tender bits of meat from the head of a pig and with pork liver. After this it Is moulded and then sliced and fried. The kitchen experts of the corn show are also wise to Philadelphia scrapple, which assisted the Declaration of Independence In nikklng the quiet old town famous while It slept. "We also have some new recipes from the west," says Miss Besack. "These are new because ths great country out here where corn s grown has been too busy raising corn to discover new ways of pre paring it, but we have a few this year which are not from Vermont. New Hamp shire nor Pennsylvania, and everything from hasty pudding to confectionery will be made from corn." Rallwr.y Matea and Personals. A. A.
