A matter of International controversy Is being made out of the case of Mrs. C Suede merer, a readent of Furnas county, and wife of ene of the prosperous German farmers of that section.

Moat of the burns had healrd. but the more severe ones on her nuee failed to yield to treatment here, so the trip to Germany was determined upon for the purpose of placing herself under the rare of a specaltst In that country. Tarly in August Mrs. Suedemeyer bought a steamer ticket fir Ue return home, hut when she attempted to board the vessel she was refused passage, the company's offlr.'aJs declannn that she would not be permitted, to land on this side. Although United States Consul Fee remonstrated the eompaoty refunded tlie Furnas county wo man's Hl.jney.

Neb., Oct. 23. (Special. )-T wo boys, day laborers forty years ago In Iowa, working side by side, met this week In Lincoln, the one the leader of his party In Nebraska and the chairman of his state committee; the other a United States sen ator and the leader of his party In Iowa. The one was William Husenetter, success ful farmer, stock raiser and politician; the other. Albert B. Cummins, successful law yer and United States senator. It was Just forty years ago next spring, over In Iowa, that William Husenetter pulled Albert cumtnlnt out of the Turkey liver and saved him from drowning. The two men parted shortly after that and met for the first time last Thursday, and only upon discussing Iowa of the early days did each recall the other and that each was reminded of that act of heroism on the part of the republican state chairman. Working In the Woods. Husenetter lived with his parents near Mlllvllle. He was at the top of a hill shoving timber down a wooden chute to the river and his younger brother, John Husenetter, now of Alnsworth, was at the bottom of the chute to see that the chute did not get choked up. Across the river was a rope by which the ferry was run. Owing to the extremely high water this rope was only a few Inches above the water. Up the stream were two boys In a !oat, Albert Cummins and Richard Flanagan. They struck the rope broadside and the boat at once capplsed. Both yelled for help. John Husenetter Jumped In his boat nd rushed to the reecue of Flanagan, while young Cummins struck out for himself, being a good swimmer. William Husenet ter. hearing the cries, rushed down the hill to lend what assistance he could. The ice was breaking up In the river and the water was extremely cold. J"hn Husenetter managed to get his boat to Flanagan who held on and was towed lor. The two went to the room of the chairman and about the only man that could get Into that room that night was Jack Minor, who happened to be a cousin of the Fianagan boy. Thanks the Board.
