Anna Sack, 17-year-old wife of Henry Sack, aged 22 years, living at 1923 Paul street, attempted sulcide by drink- ng polson. She Is in a critical condition. Despondency over her husband unable to find employment, the fact that she was in delicate health and had not had anything to eat in two days, caused her to make the attempt.

Sy \John Nicholson Already Plans John Nicholson is already beginning to | plan his spring gardening. It doesn't take | much to start him off and a few days like we've been having are quite sufficient to get him going. John is probably the greatest catch-as- catch-can rose cultivator in Omaha. He has a big yard surrounding his manse at 20 California street, and he knows more about the habits of wild roses, and tame | ones, too, than any other man of “is | weight and size. He makes a speclalty | of hybrids, which, you know (we didn't | know till he told us) are roses grafted |on to briar roots. “I ralse fifty-seven varleties of 'em,” he remarks. Well, these few warm days started John on his favorite indoor sport of study- ing the seed catalogs. He gets them from and Kokomo and everywhere. It Is useless for a seed catalog to try to escape John. “Fe, 1, fo, fog, 1 smell the blood of a seed catalog.' Thus he sings and then, a brief chase and first thing you know he has caught the catalog and Is gloating over pictures of Artophloxidiae Pariensioloternipsus and other lovely flowers that always Philadelphia and New York and Oshkosh | for His Spring Garden of Roses bloom so big and beautiful and profuse in the pages of the catalogs. Nor, does he confine his researches to flowers. He also falls a vietim to the pic- tures of gargantuan watermelons, cyclo- pean radishes, colossal cabbages, gigan- tic potatoes and circus-poster lettuce, He's busy making out his list already All day long he tolls over the books and walts on lawyers as deputy clerk in the United States court in the federal building. But in the evening, when the toll of the day is over, he goes happily home and engages In his favorite indoor sport of studying the catalogs or his favorite outdoor sport of grooming his flowers and garden truck, ms the weather may dictate, While his nelghbors are putting on smoking jackets and settling down with their three-for-a-half seegars, or backing the car out of the garage, John puts on his overalls and backs the wheelbarrow out of -its garage and pursues the even tenor of his way. And yow'd never dream he's 5 years old. That's what that bloomin' Scotch- man is, by jiminy. “Don't worry and raise flowers,” is the secret of it, he savs. il Tax Reform League Will Be Organized Preliminary arrangements are being worked upon in the state for the organ- ization of a Farmers' and Merchants Tax Reform association.
