‘4 Bpree of an Ohio Man at Lincoln Ends in | Death, SCATTERED MONEY AMONG THE FANCY | Ba House | by el Days LINCOLN, Feb. 28.—(Special to The Bee.) —It takes some men longer than two days to discovor that margiage is a failure, but | William Walthers of Wis city was a little expeditions. He was married Sunday commenced housekeeping on Mon- drunk on Tuesday aud committed suicide on Wednesday morning. Walthers wag a plumber by trade and a German by nativity and about 30 years old. He came to Lincoln about three weeks ago from Cleve- and, 0. He seemed to have plenty of money and he spent it with lavish hand at the saloons and places of questionable resort. He became a favorite In the proscribed dis- trict and made his home at a resort ducted by one Cora Huffman, who will up shutters and go out of business at night tonight, as per order of Mayor \\ uir. Two weeks ago a young woman of flex- iblo morals came to Lincoln from Omahs and took up her abode with the frail Cora Her name was Pearl Wiman. Walthers fell in love with her and proposed marriage 8he accepted at onco and they were mar- ried Sunday evening. The next day the newly wedded pair commenced housekeeping In a emall house on L strect, between oventh and Bighth. The honeymoon to be progressing favorably until night the bride of two days notified police that her husband had been drink- and was m he police found benedict at a saloon considerably the worse for liquor. They took him home at midnight. ~ He left the house a short time afterwards and when he returncd he com- plained of fecling sick. He grew rapidly worse and at 3 o'clock the neighbors were called in. At 4 o'clock he was dead A physician reached him but a few moments before he died and although every effort was made to save him death soon oceurred, The physician gave as his opimion that Walthers came ~ to his death from the effects of morphine. This opinion was con- firmed soon after by the discovery of a small box labeled “morphine.”” The label bore the name of I H. Barth, a well known Lincoln druggist at 929 O street. Mr, Barth stated today that Walthers purchased the drug at his store about 9 o'clock last evening. Coroner Crim was at once noti- fied and held an inquest this afternoon. Che coroner's jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from the elfects of morphine administered by his own hands. Undertaker Roberts took charge of the remains and informed relatives in Cleve- land. Up to 11 o'clock tonight no reply had been received. WILL HAVE A TRAGIC SEQUEL. The suicide will in all probability have a tragic sequel, for shortly after 7 o'clock this evening ¥ was discovered that Mrs. Walther herself had taken a large dose of morphine, The police were also Informed and fully an hour was spent In finding a physician who would go to the assistance of the dying woman. The city physician was not at home. Dr. Britt was applied to and he flatly re- fused, even when Captaln Mason assured him the woman was dying and offered to send a conveyance after him. Dr. Bently, Who lives but a block from the woman's house, also refused. Finally Dr. Crim ar- rived home from a visit to a patient in the outskirts of the city and immediately went to the home of the dying woman. At 11 o'clock tonight physicians and assistants were still at work trying to save the woman's life, but with little hopes. Considerable indignation 1s expressed over the refusal of Drs. Britt and Bentley to go to the woman's relief. Dr. Britt informed The Tee tonlght that he refused because he did not ansider women of that class desirable pa- onts, and because street cars did not run mear the house. He stated that there were other doctors in the clty who usually at- tended such kind of people, and he did not care to interfere with their practice. He sald that he thought Captain Mason did him an injury in asking him to assume the care of an undesirable patient, even if she was dying, vhen the police knew that there were other physiclans in town who would be will- ing to take the case. Dr. Bently could not bo seen. DEPOSITORS BECOMING IMPATIENT. The depositors of the defunct Nebraska Savings bank of Lincoln are becoming anx- jous to see the color of their money. The bank closed its doors for the last time on July 14 of last year. The book value of the resources at that date was $148,950, but the examiner gave it as his opinfon that the assets would shrink to the extent of $56,162, Y leaving the net assets at $92,987. At the same dato it carried deposits to the amount of $60,846. C. H. Morrill of this city was nted receiver and he entered at once upon the discharge of his duties. At first the stockholders proposed to give a bond and agree to pay off all claims against tho bank within two years. This scheme fell through Tinally, on September 1, Chief Justice Max- well ordered Receiver Morrill to proceed to wind up the affairs of the defunct bank with- out delay. His first report, filed September B, showed the assets of the bank in his po session to be but 1.07. The discovery of new assets continued month by month. On February 1 the receiver reported that out of all the assets of the bank, good and bad, ho had collected but $5,406.93. Of this amount he had expended for various items of expense the sum of $1,12250. It apears from the showing that there is but a remote possibil- ity that the depositors will secure any for- midable dividends within the next years, That they are becoming impatient over the dismal prospect is evidenced by a petition filed with the supreme court this afternoon, The petition 13 signed by S. M. Benediot and forty-four others and they move tha cjurt jor an order requiring the receiver o sell and dispose of all the assets of the hank at ence and to levy an assessment upon all the stockholders for the amount of the unpaid subscriptions to the capital #tock of the bank or as much thercof as rmay Le neces- mary to pay all the depositors n full. The depositors have engaged the 'aual services of fMalbott, Bryan & Allen to manago thoir case. ... GOSSIP AT THE STATE HOUSE. A protest against the appointment of J. H. Chapman as receiver of the defunct State Bank of Ansley was filed with the chief ustice of the supreme court the other day. Che mén who opposed the appointment asked for a hearing and the hearing was granted It was to have taken place this afternoon at 2 o'clock, but when the banking board a sembled in the office of the state treasurer at that hour no one appearcd to back up the protest The First National bank of Alma was this forenoon designuted as a state depository by the governor, attorney general and secrotary of state.

SPRINGFIELD, Neb.,, Feb. 28.—(Speclal Telegram to The Bee)—The second day's sossion of the farmers institute opened promptly at 10 o'clock this morning with an increased number in attendance. After the usual preliminaries, Prof. F. W. Card of the State university addressed the meeting on “Horticulture,” much to the benefit of his hearers. Next came “‘Apples for Nebraska,” by E. E. Sanborn of this place. Mr. Sanborn is a professional apple grower, and has one of the finest orchards in the state, which yields him a handsome revenue each year. Otto Welss' paper on ‘‘Feeding Cattle” showed that he knew what he was talking about., n paper Interest R. Stouffer's Making”" aroused more rank and file of the audience than any paper read during the meeting. Mr. Stouffer also conducted a milk test with a Babcock milk tester, much to the interest of the assemblage. The first paper on the program ovening session was “‘Sowing and Tamo Grasses in Nebraska,” by W. of this city. This is a question that puz- zles the Nebraska farmer. Mr. Bates has made the subject a study for several years and has finally solved the problem and can now grow tame grasses to order. J. B. Dunsmore of Sutton, late judge of liv at the World's fair, read a very inte paper or “Stock at the World's Fair. paper closed the program proper, but a little incident happened right here not down on the printed program, but, notwithstanding, it brought down the house. It was nothing more than the appearance of Colonel A. L Spearman upon the stage, carrying an ordi- nary milk pail and stool, leading his famous short horn cow, Red. Seated upon the stool, he proceeded to milk the cow, much to the delight of the audience. County Attorney Lefler and Mr. Spearman had made a little | wager some time ago that they would produce their best cows at the opera house Quring the institute, milk them and have the milk tested. The party whose cow showed the best test was to take both cows. Mr. Leffler falled to show up with his cow and the wudience voted the cows to Mr. Spear- man, The following resolution was offered by Mr. Steuffer, read and adopted Resolved, That it is the sense of the Farmers institute of Sarpy county assem- bled that our county commissioners should purchase two small road graders for each road precinet in the county, or as many as in thelr judgment is required to do the nee- essary road work of the county The officers for the ensuing year were elected us follows: President, 0.

Treasurer Weirner was their ideal man and when it was ascertained that he was short $12,849 in his cash his bondsmen were very mad. On his bond for his first term for $150,000 he secured the signatures of 150 farmers, who in many cases qualified for all they were worth and in some cases for more. One of the bondsmen sald to The Bee correspondent that Welrner said ho ‘“would not solicit the bankers,” as he did not want to be under obligations to them. The bond which Weirner gave for his second term, as lately developed, contained the names of bankers as well as farmers. And what makes the farmers on the first bond hot is that as soon as Treasurer Weirner found that he was behind ne went to the First National bank of this city and gav them a mortgage on all the property he had to secure a loan of $6,000 to pay off the shortage on the last term, making the bankers the preferred creditors, leaving his farmer friends, who signed the first bond, to pay the shortage of $6,849, due on the first term, without any recourse, The facts in the case did not reach a great many of the bondsmen until the yirst of the week, as they are attered all over the county, and not a few of them are very loud in their denunciation of the actions of the treasurer. As a matter of fact, it is claimed that a large per cent of the bonds- men are insolvent, some having left the ounty, and the burden is liable to fall on the few. It is a hard blow to the populists of Custer county, as they gained the polit- ical ascendency four years ago in the county on their pledges of reform and economy, pledging that ir Lominees would serve the county for less salaries than the law provided and with fewer clerks in each of the offices than did their predecessors, the republicans. Treasurer Weirner's deficit is charged to Incompetency and overgenerosity in meeting the demands of his political friends. It is said that he had not been in the office more than two weeks until he advanced Hon. O, M. Kem, then his deputy, $11,000. Kem pald the amount back after he was elected to con- gress. It has been a very expensive term to Mr.Welrner, as he is left penniless. It is ostimated that he has lost not less than $26,000 fn the doal. It Is a matter very much regretted on Mr. Weirner's account, as he as always had the very highest respect of all who knew him. th Dictated by Cattle Comp; 3 ING, Neb. ). 28.—(Special to The Bee.)—The announcement of the scheme to disintegrate Nebraska, and to attach the regated portion to the state of Wyoming, has occasioned a great deal of excltement, especially in the sections affected by the pr posed scheme. Letters have been pouring in here ever since containing assurances the hearty co-operation of the writers in the plan proposed. early every prom- inent man in the city has received numer- ous letters, and they come from all over the “Panhandle.” Sloux county seems to be particularly in favor of annexation, and numerous Box Butto county men have pro nounced in favor of it he Bee cor- respondent finds, however, that there is a coutliction of opinions as to the results of | pi the scheme. Banner ounty's papers op- pose it and allege it is simply a free range scheme of the Wyoming cattle barons. Sloux county favors it for the same reason. So far as The Bee correspondent can learn, the prime movers in the deal are convinced that these two shades of opinion can be reconciled. It was originally sprung as a plan for securing protection for the im- mense irrigation interests which have been bullt up in this section within the past four years. These advocates of annexation urge that a free range, If it is brought about in this way, will be a benefit rather than a detriment, They claim that the free range is what is needed to-bring in the herds to consume the hay and grain crops of the irrigated lands. On Saturday evening an enthusiastic meet- ing was held at the Thornton school house southwest of this city to consider the advis- abllity of attempting to procure artesian water for irrigating purposes. Flowing water at a depth of 331 feet was found here last fall, and it has occasioned considerable spec- ulation. The farmers and others who were present decided unanimously to form an or- ganizatlon to prosecute the work, and to sink the first well at Gering. Committees wi appointed and are now in the field soliciting subscriptions. Various citizens of adjoining counties have signified a willingness to assist in the project, as a test of the matter here will be a strong indication of the possibilities in adjacent localities. Loaded Stovewood with Powder, FREMONT, Feb. 28.—(Special to The Bee.) —Otto Meyer made complaint today against Ulrich Arensberger alleging that the former had thrown into his yard a stick of stove- wood loaded with giant powder with the in- tent of doing great Injury to his family, There was powder enough in the stick to have demolished the premises had it been put into the stove.
