MRS. RISER TO STAND TRIAL
Pleach Guilty to Conspiracy to Kill
Husband, Then Eevenes.
LATTER ASKS ABSOLUTE DIVORCE
Purs for Castodr of Child Alio and
Wlf Will Knlat This Woman
In Jail Denounces Her
Paura mo nr.
Kmll Ruser, through hU attorney Edward
I Bradley of Omaha, filed action for an
absolute dlvorc early Wiedncsday, ami
his wife. Mathilda Ruser, a few houn
later, pleaded guilty to the charge of con
uplring with John Slager. her paramour,
to kill Ruser and later changed her plea to
nut guilty, Intending to stand trial.
The divorce papers were drawn up by
Mr. Bradley In Omaha and filed at Fa
plltion and Mrs. Ruser wan arraigned In
the county seat of Sarpy county and then
eat to L)ouglaa county Jail In Omaha, to
be confined In a cell pending her trial.
Her Illicit !over, 8 lager, still occupies a cell
In the same Institution.
"I don't think John Slager was much of a
man to tell the officers all a omit mo the
way he did. No, I wouldn't marry him now
If I had a chance. I don't see how anybody
could after the way he has acted. It would
)iave been all right for him to have told
about himself, but he ought not to have
told all about me."
This statement was made by Mrs. Ma
tilda Ruser, who Is held In the county Jail
on a charge of aiding John Slager In his
attempt to murder Emll Ruser of Sarpy
county, Mrs. Ruser' s husband. Mrs. Ruser
showed considerable resentment against
61ar for his attempt to lay; the burden
of the crime on her.
Wt Mark Disturbed.
Mrs. Ruser apparently does not take the
crime very seriously. While discussing it
he hung her head bashfully and smiled In
a timid sort of a way, but at no time did
she show remorse. She Is a rather pretty
woman of 20. with light hair and pink
cheeks. She did not give much evidence of
possessing a strong, character.
Only once during the Interview waa ah
serious and that was when she talked of
the year-old baby.
"Of course I will fight my husband's di
vorce suit." she said. "But only to get the
baby. It Is only a year old ami I think I
ought to have It. It Is not a bottle baby
and It needs me. It Is now with a neighbor
family, but I don't see how they can take
care of It. They wouldn't let tne bring It
hero."
Mrs. Ruser says John Slager broke an
agreement he had with her on the night of
the attempted murder.
"I wanted him to come to the door and
Charcoal Purifies
Any Breath
And la Its Purest Form Haa Long
Been Known An the Greatest
Gaa Abaorbcr.
I'ure willow charcoal will oxidise almost
any odor and render It sweet and pure.
A pailful In a foul cellar will absorb
deadly rumen, for charcoal absorbes one
hundred times Its volume In gas.
The ancients knew the value of char
coal and administered It In cases of ill
ness, especially pertaining to the stomach.
In England today charcoal poultices are
Uses for ulcers, balls, etc., while some
physicians In Europe claim to cure many
skin diseases by covering tho afflicted
skin Kith charcoal powder.
Kluart's Charcoal Loienges go Into the
mouth and transfer foul odors at once Into
aV)en, absorb noxious gases and adds
and when swallowed mix with the diges
tive juices and stop gas making, fermen
tation and decay.
By their gtutte qualities they control
beneficially bowel action and stop diarrhoea
and constipation
Had breath simply cannot exist when
charcoal Is used. There are no Ifs or ands
about this statement. Don't take our word
for it, but look Into the matter yourself.
Auk our druggist or physician, or better
till, look up charcoal In our encyclo
pedia. The beauty or (Stuart's Charcoal
Liosenges Is that the hlgheit pharmaceuti
cal expert knowledge obtainable has been
used to prepare a K.cngc that will glvu
to man the best form of charcoal for use.
I'ure willow and honey is the result.
Two or three after meals and at bedtime
sweeten the breath, slop decay of teeth,
aid digestive apparatus and promote per
fect bowel action. They enrich the supply
of oxygen to the system and thereby re
Vivify the blood and ncrvea.
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges are sold
everywhere In vast quantities, thus they
must have merit. Every druggist carries
them, price, twenty-flva cents per box, or
end us your name and address and we
will send you a trial package by mall,

he wouldn't do that. He said lie would
come to the window and wake me and I
could get out of the way before he shot.
1 He didn't do that. I laid awake for a Ions
time, expecting him to come, but when
he did not I went to sleep, thinking he
hud given It up. Then when he
' did come later In the night he begun shoot
j Ing without letting me know. I and the
Da ny were in almost as mucn danger as tny
husband. YVe came very near being hit by
the bullets. I didn't like his doirjjr that.
"I don't want any more to do with Sin
ger. I don't care much whether I talk to
him or not. 1 don't suppose they would
let us talk anyway. Hut I don't want to
marry him now. If ho had had any sym
pathy for me or my baby he would have
shielded me at such a time as this If at no
other."
Wants to Change Plea.
Mrs. Ruser said she now wanted to take
Isick her plea of guilty made at the pre
liminary hearing and now she says she
will stand trial.
"I didn't understand what all that was
the county attorney was reading to me at
the hearing," she said. "When It was ex
plained to me that It charged me with try
ing to shoot my husband I took back tny
plea because I didn't shoot I still stand
by my first statement, though, and don't
deny we had an agreement to shoot him,
but I didn't do It.'
"I don't think It's right for Slager to
try to bUmo It all on me. I don't know
who mentioned It first, but I think he did.
One day he asked me to marry him and I
said, 'All right, but 1 have a husband now,
so I can't." Then he said. 'We will get
rid of him all right,' and that waa the
way It started."
Mrs. Ruser has employed Attorney Lang
don of Papilllon to defend her. He Is now
trying to get her relatives and neighbors
to go on her bond.

VINS0NHALER CASE IS ARGUED
Doaalaa losilr eeka (o Hold Former
Coonlr .lodge for Fees Karned,
bat ot Collected, ad
for .Marriage Fees.
From a Ftaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct. 21. (SpocliU.) The grand
lodge Independent Order of Odd Fellows
and tho Rebekahs listened to a welcome
address from Governor Sheldon and at
noon gave a parade. Tho day waa devoted
to a business session.
Tho annual report of the grand secretary
shows a most substantial Increase. During
the year twelve new lodges have been
chartered and a gain In membership of over
l,m. Three hundred and six lodges now
hold charters. Funeral benefits In the sum
of I3.7S4.W have been paid out and the
relief fund reached over $20.00"; $3,568.35
went for special relief; for the relief of
widows and orphans $442.25 was expended.
The finances were declared to be in excel
lent condition.
The report of tho grand master Indicates
a healthy growth and great activity In all
branches of the order. He declares that
the lodges Instituted during the last year
are strong and optimistic.
Vlnaonhaler Case Argued.
One case submitted today to the full
bench of the surreme court and Commis
sioners Duffle, Calkins and Epperson la of
a character to make county Judges and
former county Judges sit up and take no
tlce. It Is one brought by Douglas county
against ex-County Judge Duncan M. Vln
aonhaler wherein It Is sought to charge
Mr. Vlnsonhaler with financial responsi
bility for about $1,000 worth of uncollected
fees. Included In this claim Is an Item for
all marriuges performed by the county
Judge, on tho theory that It Is his duty to
perform such ceremony and that whether
or not he collected any fee he Is respon
sible for $3 for each one In which he of
ficiated. The statute of limitations embraces ten
years for county Judges and upon the de
cision In this case rests the responsibility
of all county Judges who have held office
within that period and who have made
their settlements along the old lines of ac
counting for all fees collected but not for
marriages performed or fees uncollected.
As to the marriage fees. It waa contended
by attorneys for the defendant that for
thirty years or more It had been customary
to regard this as a perquisite of the of
fice and that It rested with the Judge
whether or not he charged any fee. In
fact many Judges, from friendship or other
reasons, have wedded couples free of
charge. The contention was that the Judge
was not bound to marry a couple or to
collect a fee if he did; that it was a long
continued construction of a statute by of
ficers whose duty It waa to construe that
law, and that by reason of this long-continued
construction that construction now
has the force and effect of law.
Judge Vlnsonhaler accounted for nil fees
he received as an officer during his six
years as Judge, but In this case the effort
Is being made to make him the Insurer of
all foes on the theory that as the law pro
vides that all fees should be collected In
advance, it was his duty to have collected
them, and not having done so he Is liable.

DOGS lFD 1 I.HAM) ll, M
Hound FJntplnyed to I. orate Money
Taken from Resort.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. 21. (Spe
cial.) Ira an effort to capture th" burglirs
who robbed the house of Venus Webber
of $j0 n cHh the dogs from lcxlngton
were Foeiired. A remarkable test of ti e
trail following functions of the animals
followed. Although a copious rain hud
fallen after the burglary and before the
second dogs were secured and sixteen hours
had elapsed, the dogs took the scent at the
broken window sen en, followed It from
the house to the I'nloni Taclflc track and
up to the track to a particular seat In the
In ion Pacific depot, announcing with a
yelp tho end of their scent. They wore
retaken to tho place of beginning and again
followed the same line to the same seat
In the depot. Along the line a port of the
bx In which the money was kept was
found. The animals were then put on tho
scent of the two men who were within the
house on the nlRht of and at the time of
the burglary and followed It to room SI at
the Koehler hotel. In which the two sus
pected men had slept. This operation, too,
was repeated, with the same definite re
sult. The police officers now have a defi
nite cluo upon which they are working.
As a result of the work of the hounds
R. R. Barnard and K. H. Young of Calla
way wore taken into custody. Many of
their friends will not believe that they had
anything to do with the matter and are
convinced that they speak the truth when
they say, though admitting that they were
at the place on the night of the robbery,
that they had absolutely nothing to do
with the robbery.
In a discussion between the city and
county attorneys and the officers Itarnard
ami Young agreed to give the woman
morey to the amount missing rather than
get the case Into the courts. This was done
and no action will be brought In court.
Pollard SneaJta at In Ion.
UNION. Neb., Oct. 21. (Special.) Con
gressman Pollard spoke here last night.
The hall was completely filled and the
audience gave excellent attention. He be
gan with a discussion of the railroad and
trust questions. He pointed out that the
original Interstate commerce act was
passed by the republicans In 1R87, and
said that the Hepburn act was simply an
amendment which extended Its powers and
restored to the commission the authority to
fix rates, which It was supposed It had
prior to the decision of the supreme court
In 1837. He discussed the Sherman anti
trust act, which was passed during a re
publican administration in WHO, and said
that tho republicans were first In this
field as In the regulation of the railroads.
In reply to a question from the audi
ence by a gentleman who seemed to know
him well and called him Earnest, Mr. Pol
lard said that he would not pledge himself
to vote for' or against any man for speaker
cf the house of representatives a year In
advance of the time for taking action. He
said he would vote on this matter to carry
out the views of the people of this dis
trict, as on all other matters that come
before congress.
