Franklins have always
combined high power with
strength and light weight
That gives them good speed and carrying ability. They
were always air-cooled. They have no water-cooling appar
atus to carry. That cuts out weight and complication and all
kinds of trouble right at the start. It simplifies the whole auto
mobile. Franklins have nothing to freeze. You can use any
Franklin every day in the year.
Every Franklin has four full-elliptic springs and a laminated
wood frame which is stronger and lighter than the steel frame
commonly used, and it absorbs vibrations as no metal can do.
And all Franklins have large wheels and tires.
All this eliminates jar and shock and the necessity for bulk
and heaviness. And this is the only combination that pro
duces easy and perfect riding. quality.

lost. And the population has steadily de
creased. Thla last la the first ray of sun

operation of the Juvenile court authorities
In Omaha and Lincoln. These cities, he
cays, are taking care of their juvenile
delinquent better than ever before.
Another reason for the decrease In pop

Lena E. Ward, superintendent of the Ne
braska Industrial Homo at Milford, esti
mates the appropriation needed for this
Institution for the coming blennium at
$33,000, divided as follows: General repairs,
$11,000; maintenance, 19,000; employes
wtiges, $,j,080; salary of physician, 11,000;
salary of matron, $1,200; salary of superin
tendent, $2,000. The per capita cost for the
blennium, based on maintenance, Is $437.65.
The number of adults In the home Decem
ber 1, 1306, waa forty; the number of
adults and children in the home December
1, 1908, Is fifty-one; the number admitted
during the blennium, sixty-six; number re.
turned to friends, forty-six; number mar
rled, five; number of adults cared for
each year, fifty-three; number of children
In the home December 1, 1908, twenty-three;
at the present time, twenty-three; number
born during the blennium, sixty-five; num
ber died, ten.
The tornado that struck the Girls' In
dUBtrial school caused damage that leads
to a recommendation for the appropriation
of $15,000 for repairs and improvements,
Thla la Included in the report of Mlaa Ho-
Mahon, superintendent of the Institution.
She estimates that $53,720 will be needed In
the next two years for Improvements and
maintenance. There were fifty-eight girls

Decrease In Veterans.
The population of the Soldiers' home at
Milford December 1, 1908, as shown by the
biennial report filed with the governor
by Joseph Presson.' comandant,- hi 1R3.
There were received during the blennium
100; discharged and died, 132; members De
cember 1, 1908, 151, of which 143 are men
and S are women.
Colonel Presson recommends an appro
priation of $51,100 for the next blennium.
The report says:
"No part of the pension of the mem
bers is taken. The pensions range in
amount from $10 to $30 a month. One of
the Inconsistencies we note Is that some
who are entirely helpless receive $12, while
others who are quite active receive $24 and
$;. It Is quite gratifying, however, to ob
serve that those who are helpless and those
who receive meager pensions are more con
tent and appreciate the blessings )hey re
ceive, than those who get large pensions
and can go and come at will."
Colonel Presson says there will be no de
ficiency at his Institution this year and he
la especially pleased to report . that the
physical condition of the name Is good.

mediately after he was shot. Mlsa hTode
says she was present when a nurse told
Mrs. Rustin the police officers wanted to
talk to her and heard her say In reply.
They'll get nothing out of me."
Miss Thode was the last witness for the
defense and immediately after she left the
stand Mr. Gurley announced the defense
would rest and at Mr. English's request
court adjourned until morning.
Insurance Policies Lape.
Evidence that Dr. Frederick Rustin had
allowed $36,000 in life Insurance to lapse
within two weoks before his death was of
fered by tho defense in tha Davis trial
Monday morning In an attempt to show thai
he did not plan his death as Mrs. Abble
Rice testified in order that his family
might secure his Insurance.
Latham Davis, a brother of the defend
ant, also went on the stand and testified
ho was In Dr. Rustln's office the afternoon
before his death and saw a man there who
corresponded to the description of the man
Mrs. R. E. Archer saw pass her house
opposite Dr. Rustln's a few minutes after
she heard the shot. The theory that this
might be the same man was not developed
by tho defendant's attorneys, however.
The jurors appeared refreshed by their
Sunday's rest, which was spent in their
rooms at the hotel and in the criminal
court room. A mock trial Sunday morning
waa their principal pastime. Bailiff Klrk-
endall took them to the court room in the
forenoon and they proceeded to have some
fun at his expense.
In the evening Bailiff Kirkendall pro
vided music by a colored quartet.
Bis; Policy Lapses.
C. Z. Gould, general agent for the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance company, was tha
first witness Monday morning. He testi
fied the premium on Dr.. Rustln's $16,000
policy in his company was due August 13.
On the afternoon of September 1 he eUd
he called up the doctor at his office and
reminded him the payment was overdue.
Dr. Ruatln said, 'Meet me at 2 o'clock
tomorrow and I will give you a check.' "
This conversation took place about the
time Mra. Rice says Dr. Rustin told her
he had secured Charles Davis to shoot
him.
John Dale, agent for the Aetna Life In
surance company, testified two of Dr. Rus
tln's policies lapsed August 20 and one
more August 13. They aggregated $20,000.
Some time before they lapsed he left a
note covering the premium for Dr. Rustin
to sign. This note would have extended
the insurance to September 12. The note
was never returned to him, though It was
found signed among Dr. Rustln'a papers
after his death.
Detective J. T. Donahue was put on the
stand to impeach Mrs. Rice's testimony.
He testified the Sunday she made the con
fession he took her to Chief Savage's of
fice and Chief Savage said to her:
"People are beginning to think you might
have something to do with the case and
you had better tell what you know."
"What did she say?"
"She said, 'I have nothing to say.' "
Check Signed by Davis.
This conversation was a short time be
fore she made her written statement. P.
B. Myers testified he had paid a check for
$25 to Dr. Rustin the afternoon before hla
death. Tho check Waa signed by Charles
IS. Davis and Is presumably the one Davta
testified he gave Dr. Rustin for medicine,
Officers Lahey and Morgan of the police
force both went on the stand and testified
they asked Dr. Lord the morning of the
murder whether he had seen anyone on
his way to the Rustin home and that Dr,
Lord had answered "no." They also testi
fied Mrs. Rustin had told them Dr. Rus
tin had said nothing to her after he was
shot.
County Attorney English subjected both
officers to a grilling cross-examination.
Officer Lahey admitted he had made no
written report of the conversation with
Dr. Lord and Mrs. Rustin until September
13 or 14, after the newspapers had published
the statement from Dr. Lord that he had
told the officers about seeing the man. He
said he had made a verbal report.
When Morgan went on the stanj Mr,
English showed him a copy of lua teport
and Insisted he had not set out tlto ques
tions and answers he said ho had put to
Mrs. Rustin.

Waa the Clock There f
More testimony as to the clock on the
corner of Sixteenth and Farnam streets
which P. B. Myers said he looked at when
he saw Dr. Rustin and Mrs. Rice leave
the corner was offered by W. W. Umstead,
manager of the Western Union Telegraph
company's Omaha office. He said the
clock was taken down September 1 for
repairs and was put up again tlie next
day. Similar evidence was given by E. R.
Wtggs, an employe of the company.
Latham Davis went on the stand to tes
tify that Dr. Rustin knew of the suicidal
tendencies of Charles Davis several days
before the shooting. Thursday before Dr.
Rustln's death he said Dr. Rustin talked
to him about his brother.
"We will have to look out for Charley,'
he said. "He Is going to do it."
I fe said Dr. Rustin told him he had given
Charley some powders to make him sleep,
and Charley had taken all of them a once.
Tuesday afternoon he testified he
in Dr. Rustln's office to consult him and
he saw there a man with a black suit and
d rK hat, who looked like a laboring man.
"He looked like the man Mrs. Archer
(.aid she saw out on Fortieth street," be
said.
He said he thinks he saw Mrs, Rice In
the office and that Dr. Ruatln appeared
anxioua to get rid of him. In reply to a
queatlon from Mr. English, he said he did
not testify about this conversation at the
