lett to Indicate strongly that John Srulth
erman. held as a suspect In the Bhowman
murder caae, la the mysterious "John
Smith," found guilty by a coroner's Jury

pect to the severest teats before releas
ing him.
At present the prisoner is ill, but as
soon aa he Is stronger he will be taken
to the Bhowman houae and "sweated."
With the exception that the bodies have
been removed, the scene in the houae is
now unchanged from what It waa on the

Character Dwelt
Upon by Higbee
Rev. M. V. Higbee, pastor of the North
Presbyterian church, had for his them
6unday mornln "Th Character Which
Dallghta God." i
He said tli apostle Instructs us to
choose certain officer in th church
from among those men who rule wisely
In their own families.
The ordering of a household Is a work
testing the wisdom of a man. Qod de
lights In th wisdom which
ears of corn grow where only on grew
beror. He rejoice In th reclamation of
the desert by Irrigation, In th Improve
menu made In the quality of fruit and
grain and rose. God delights In wisdom.
Again, Ood delights In self-revelation,
and therefore delights In our readiness
to know Him. Nature Invites us to know
the Creator. Our own bodies, minds and
spirits question us about our Maker anil
demand of ua attention to God' call to
gain and hold aa a priceless prise and
possession this revelation.
God delight In mercy. There la Joy
In heaven when it ia exercised between
man and man, and Joy again when a man
desires and accepts the merev of nr.
God delights in victories over unright
eousness. He smiles upon our boneat
efforts to bring honesty, temperance and
virtue to prevail in our cities. In govern
ment, commerce and all social relations.
If God delights in, us He will lead us
Into many a happy experience and many
a proud possession.

Mr. Alfalfa, th srr' widow, who
came down from Cherry county, leaving
her Klncald homestead and for a couple
of weak taking up her residence at the
model farm house shown In connection
with th Northwestern Railroad com
pany exhibit, made a hit Sunday, re
ceiving at least a dnien proposal, all of
which the rejected conditionally.
Th parties proposing to Mrs. Alfalfa
cam from all walk of life. Tby were
from th east and the west, some com
ing from far east as the Atlantlo
coast, and aa they sought the hand of
the gay young thing, clad In her neat
flttlng costume of green, for all she had
th sam answer:
"I llv up here In Nebraska where we
rata th fetteet hogs, th biggest steer,
th finest fruit, th largest corn, th beat

Visitors Enthused
Over Land Show
"Th Omaha Land Show ttila ear ex
cell th one laat year, and that s saying
a whole lot," said Arthur Peters, a
wealthy real estate man of Zlonvlile, Ind.,
who stopped off In Omaha Saturday to
ae the hlg exhibition of the western
states at the Den. Mr. Peter Is en route
to Colorado Springs to look over some
leal estate there and he la a firm believer
In the west. He said that a land show
In the east showing off the west would
prove to be successful because of th fct
that th whole people who live In th far
east invariably Immigrate to Canada or
Mexico, and th exhibition of the product
of the western state would tend to keep
them in this country.
P. F. nttmer of Chadron, Neb , In re
marking about the exhibit, said: "Thla
1 the first thing of Its kind I have ever
seen, although I am thoroughly familiar
with farming, and had I not seen It my-elf,-1
would not hv believed that auch
wonderful fruits and vegetables could be
gronn In th west. I al thought
that Florida and the far aouth was the
land of plenty'."
A. J. Knollln, a wealthv cattleman of
."ode Pprlnga, Id., said. "The only thlna
lacking In the auditorium la a rattle and
slieep show. Next year 1 Intend to ex
hibit some sheep and cattle If the man
alters In charge of the enow will permit It.
The lind Phow I certainly a wonderful
Institution."
Ocore Hock of Albertson. Neb.; Henry
Collins of Blair. F. E. Downey of Pua
sena. la., and J. L. Peackett of Fhoshont,.
Ida., were all unanimous In their praise
of the Omah I-and Phow and they all
made the visit here for the sole purpose
of seeing what the west ha to offer.
