Attired in the clothing they had worn at their wedding many years ago, the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Edward D. C. Crans were found in an upper cham ber of their old-fashioned home at No. 20 Orchard street. They were reclining on the broad, old bedstead, the wife's head resting on her hus band's breast, their arms around each other's neck. They had committed suicide by compact. Two glasses that had contained car bolic acid told clearly the manner of their death. Two letters written by the woman explained how poverty had crept upon them ln the last six years, until at last they found themselves Facing actual starvation. It was several days ago that they killed themselves. Evidently they had considered their condition calmly be fore making the tragic agreement to take poison together. Their two children, Edna and Percy, died a long t:me ago, both of diphtheria. Six years ago trans naa fallen 111 of typhoid fever. He came nut of that a nervous wreck. He could not attend properly to his print ing business, which at that time was yielding htm a comfortable income, f inally the business slipped away from him.

But when reverses came they withdrew more and more from h life nf their neighbors. They .hranb from telling the real condition of wretchedness Into which they bad sunk. They decided that aeam was nrpferahle to bearing the humiliation of making sucn aisciounures. LIGHTNING STRIKES THIRTEEN. One Man Killed and Twelve Stunned When Bolt Hits House.

"A Handbook for Guidance of Land-Suckers" Is the name of a book ko be published by the immigration commissioners from nineteen states, here to form a nation al organization. The organization's purpose Is to protect unwary Inves tors against the operations of land "sharks" and oily promoters. "Promo tion committees" will probably be In vestlgated. cess of his plans. Despite the statement on the wit ness stand Friday of the supposed slayer of Mrs. Beattle that the matri monial life of himself and his wife had been pleasant, alleged domestic In felicities between the two have made material for much current comment since the tragedy. Miss Binford Talks. Beulah Binford, held in jail as a witness for the Commonwealth, seems to hare made up her mind to turn against her erstwhile admirer. She sent for Special Agent Scherer of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway I who has so far had cha.ge of the detec tive side of the case) and Mr. Scherer sent for the detective associated with him and for Commonwealth's Attor ney Wendenburg and there was a conference In the girl's room, and with her at the jail.

July 23. The govern mpnt rnncluded and the defense open ed Its case In the trial of Gilbert U. Perkins, of Pittsburg, ana inane franklin of Philadellilila, detectives rhareed with sending "Black Hand inttor. tn the home of Charles Strong, multimillionaire. In connection 'wun the desecration of the mausoleum of the late Congressman Scott, iatner in law of Mr. Strong. Franklin who Is manager for Per- tin at Philadelphia, and who, the government alleges, is ine nunoi the "Black Hand" letters, made a gen era! dental of the government's allega tions and was poa'tlve ln the state ment that he had not written the let ter In nuestlon. nor dirt he know, he claims, any had been received until he read of their receipt in tne papers. The sensation of the day came when Attorney W. H. S. Thompson, for the defense, said he proposed to show that the defendants were In no way con nected with the crime charged and that ther would show to the satisfac tion of the court and Jury who wrote the letters to Mr. Strong. He stated further that the author of the letters was In the court room, and In this connection, mentioned Thomas Demp sey, manager of a detective agency of this city and Franklin, Pa., who is un der charges of having sent a "Black Hand" letter to General Charles Miller, millionaire oil man, of Franklin, de manding 123,000. LINCOLN. Neb.Ju!y X -In accord a rice with tbe state primary law.whkh requires. that all political parties shall hold their convention oa the same day, the Republicans assembM In tale convention, here today, while the Democrats and Populists met at Fremont All candidate a. selected In primaries, so that all that Is left tor the conventions to do la to build plat forms and select tbe state campaign officers. The conventions.neverlheleks, are at tracting the attention of politicians the country ove. They are the first tat contentions of the year to be held anywhere in the North or Wteet Furthermore, they are held In a state which has furnished some of the most conspicuous leaders of the "Insurg ent" movement in the Republican par ty and at tbe same time still Interests Democrats as tbe home state of Wil liam J. Bryan. I'nless all signs go astray the Re publican convention In this city will furnish more Interesting developments than the gathering at Fremont. The Republicans are badly split. The "regulars" and "Insurgentsy fought. and the "Nebraska Progressive Repub lican League was the outgrowth. Then the latter party spirt and the -Reformed Nebraska Progressive Republican League" .resulted, the latter being those Insurgents who have returned to the support of President TafL while the "MM -Road Progr sives' are still fighting tj)e adminis tration La Follette emissaries have been busily at work In Nebraska for some time and they have succeeded in work ing up considerable sentiment favor ing the Wisconsin Senator for the presidential nomination. If the La Follette supporters succeed in pre venting the convention from indorsing President Taft they probably will lose little time ln organising a I .a Follette League and beguthlng the fight In earnest. Victor Rosewater, the Omaha edit or. Is leading the fight for Tuft, while Governor lA'idrlch is an avowed sup porter of La Follette. A successor to united States Senator LNorrls Brown Is to be chosen before long und this tends to still further complicate the situation tn the Republican party. Congressman Norrls Is one of the fore most "Insurgent" leallers In Congress and as tie Is an aspirant tor the sen atorshlp his friends will not stand for any action on the pert of the con ventlon that might mitigate agalnm his Interests. Wlille the Republicans are thus bad ly mixed up the Democrats, on the other hand, appear to be working in more perfect narmony than for a num ber of years past. For the first time in more than a decade they are ap proaching a campaign with a thorough organization behind them. IMY. (Bryan seems to have been eliminated, or to have eliminated himseif, from Nebras kia, politics. He has refrained froru making any comment or expressing any views on the local situation Whether or not he will support the candidates selected by the party Is a question, but It is certain thai he has not endeavored In any way to In fluenee the choice of candidates or the construction of the platform.

A horrible death occurred near Oak Grove, In Stokes county, a few days ago, when the little 14-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. Luther Joyce was killed by asmnawsy mule. The boy was rid Ing the mule to the house from the field when it became frightened and threw him, catching Ms foot In the frace chain In such a manner that he was unable to free himself. He wss dragged for a considerable distance, his body being beaten almost to a Jelly agtllnst stumps and trees, and he lived only a tew minutes after being re leased. The mule bad to be hemmed in a fence corner before the boy's fool was gotten out of the loop in the trace.

Hardy for contempt ot court and announced the verdict as guilty. On account of the age i of the defendant and the fact that he Is a minister of the gos pel, the court announced that judg ment would be suspended. The re corder reviewed a number of ways In which contempt could be committed against the court, and he said that this was the first time any esse of this kind had ever come before his court, and he felt sure It would be the last, as the Reldsville people are law abiding and when they know the law, be argued, they will hot wan tonly violate It. He also said that Elder Hardy, he was sure, would not desire to give the court further trou ble, and if he did, the judgment of the court could then be Invoked. - Attorney Brooks, representing Eld er Hardy, was not present In court, but he bad already filed a notice of appeal, and, while no mention was made of Jhls fact in open court ,lt is understood that such appeal appears In the records of the minutes.

I was admitted, however, that business op erations of these companies continued under an understanding similar to tbe agreement. The original agreement provided for tbe formation ot the Steel Plate Association ot the United States, and notwithstanding that the agreement was burned and only came tot light be cause a Pennsylvania printer nsa saved a copy from the flames, the committee found corroborative evl dence that the Steel Plate Associstlon did exist after the Incineration ot tbe telltale documents. J. R. Van Ormer. of the Lukens Iron and Steet Company, one of the nartles to the original pool, testified that all copies of the agreement nsa been burned because It was thought Its provisions were Illegal. The agree ment itself, he testified, Tierw was sinned by his company and all sent to other companies were returned for destruction. He admitted, however, that operation of the business of his company proceeded along lines of an understanding similar to the provi alons of the burned agreement. Busl ness was apportioned on a percentage basis, he admitted, for several years ud to 1906. His firm, he said, rontri buted to a guaranty fund to insure carrying out terms of operation and reports of business were made to w, C. Temple, who acted as commission er of the combination. A thrilling Incident occurred this afternoon on the corner of Third and Liberty streets about I o'clock, which was witnessed by a large number of people. Mr. D. E.

The street car wss also rounding the corner at the same time. Quick action wss needed Immediately to pre vent a serious accident. Mr. Semon ran his car around rapidly and turn ed It up on the street In front of Eflrd's store and ran along the side walk between the store and a trolley pole and made the turn successfully. The rear wheel of the bicycle was broken and a barrel of potatoes sit ting to one side In front ot Eflrd's store was overturned. Mr. Semon had the wheel sent to a repair shop.
