(The above dispatch confirm the That fascinating serial atory, "The Mystery of a Poem or Who la the PladarlRt?" In which the last published chapter tho repudia tion by Attorney Carl E. Herring of the authorship ot a piece of poetry entitled "Nebraska," printed over his name In the April number of the National Monthly Magazine, ia now ready for Ita conclusion. "It 'a mighty good poetry, whoever wrote It," was the unanimous verdict of all who read the piece, and it sounded bo well that The Bee gave It wider publicity by reproducing with due credit to Ita inspiring genius. But, lo and behold! In the very next mall came a -vigorous dis claimer, which, there being no other Carl E. Herring known to literary fame, amounted to a charge of either plagiarism or forgery. 'Worse than that, tha editor of the National Monthly became tbe target at once for an indignant fusillade from vari ous readers, one In .Wisconsin de claring that tha masterpiece In ques tion waa originally written with the word "Wisconsin" wherever the word "Nebraska" appeared, . and should have been so printed with credit to a Wisconsin poet. Thla letter or challenge to Editor Chappie reads aa follows: "LANCABTF.tt. Wis., April IB. Editor National Magaxtne, boston, Mass.

With such stimulus the search for th real author, and for th perpetrator of the hoax, if wishing It on Mr. Herring ceuld b called a hoax, ha been stead fastly pursued with th result that some of th question may be now answered.
