A little old lady in black took the witness stand Wednesday afternoon in federal court and told Judg'e Munget' bow she brought up Claude Wells with' her own three children, from the time he was twelve years old until he enlisted in the national guard in 1917.

Claude Wells died in France ten years ago, and the administrator is trying. to get his SI 0,000 war risk insurance for his foster mother. The government Is resisting the suit on tae ground, first that Claude Wefts didn't leave a wuT making Mrs. Murphy the beneficiary; and, second, that the county court of Richardson county hadn't any right, to set aside its own decree, escheating the money to the United States. The case has been in various courts of two states for the past eight years.

The families of Thomas Murphy and Louis Murphy, where the orphan Claude was brought up, live south of Rulo, the one just over the Kansas line, the other In Richardson county. After Nebraska courts had decreed that Wells died Intestate, and administration proceedings in Brown county, Kansas, had been set aside the with claims that WeUs had left a will after all and that Mrs. Murphy waa the legatee. The government contends that this will is purely imaginary. The admlnistra- if.

i i mi tional democratic column- once more. Two major causes nave contributed to the result in Virginia and probably will do the same thing iu the other four southern stale. One Is the political blundering ot the Hoover administration in handling the whole southern problem and the other Is the awaken ing of state political leaders to the fact that when the rep'iblicana gel a hold on, a stale In a natlona, election they are likely "to Dully up on organization strong enougb to elect republicans to the governorship and the stcte legislature as well as to congress.

Factionalism, of course, will not disappear very soon In national politics but Virginia has demonstrated hbw difficult it is for the Smith controversy to be kept up forever as a means of influencing Voters.

Says Work Was Clumsy. Coincidental the Hoover administration has assisted the regular democrats in the south, first by clumsy handling of the patronage question and discouraging the Republican workers, as well astQjy amateurishness in dealing with the DePriest episode. The difficulty of carrying water on both shoulders, namely trying to satisfy the negro vote of the north and at the same time appease the white vote of the south, has been Illustrated by the use made in the Virginia campaign XL shall I do BROTHERS HUNT RUFFIANS Search for. Two Men Who Severely Beat Sister at Omaha. OMAHA.

young men Friday night and later tossed out on a lawn where she remained for several hours in the cold until found in a semiconscious condition, continued to improve at a nospi-tal Wednesday. Her brothers, Frank and Albert Panek of Dubois, have been in Omaha since Sunday aiding police in the searcn for the two assailants whom their sister met at a dance given by a local lodge "We'll stay in Omaha until we find those ruffians," said Frank, "altho this is harvest season and we are needed on the farm." The brothers have offered a reward for the arrest of the two. MlssPanek has improved sufficiently to explain that she jmet the youn men thru a girl known to her-as-Mary and whe also-had planned to go with ber in company with the men but at the lafet moment decided not to.

Sometime early Tuesday the car owned by Chief Stebbins was stolen from Its CORN YIELD GREATER THAN FIRST EXPECTED A number of farmers whose farms adjoin the Blue river and its tributaries northwest of here report corn yields as high as forty bushels to the acre. Among these are Harry Reimer and S. O. Sparks.

The latter has been getting from thirty to thirty-five bushels per acre. This average is In excess of estimates given out before shucking began.

(Coprtglit 1929 by- The ojurnal) Predictions made a year ago that the five southern atatea carried by Herbert Hoover would not remain permanently In the republican column have, been borne out by the first state to bold an election In which a test could be made of the party affiliation of southern vot- ters.

Altho Governor Smith was more or less the Issue, entirely apa it from his party background, and prohibition played a part in the attitude of voters thruout the south. Virgin! eliminated proKibi-tion this time by naming two drys and concentrated on the question of whether the wing which stood -by- Governor Smith should control or whether the Hoover and anti-Smith democratic combination should dominate. On Democrat Column. The defeat of the anti-Smith group and the republicans by a decisive vote will be taken to mean that If In the next presidential election the democrats name a man like Governor Roosevelt of New Tork or Owen Young.

C. C. Wyhe of the Midwest Meteor association at Iowa City, sends word that an unprecedented number of brilliant meteors were reported from Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska on the night of Oct. 15. A meteor seen falling In the western sky in Nebraska was described as a huge, ball of fire with a tall of flame and sparks.

In northern Illinois, a meteor "was brilliant enougb to make it as light as day for an instant." The most Interesting report from Iowa is that an observer saw three balls of fire traveling very swiftly toward the northeast, lighting up the earth as they fell. This is the first time that more than one meteor bright enough to light up the landscape has been reported for the same night in this section of the country, and It gives promise of being the most Inter Exouse Given Democrats. The De driest episoue runushed the excuse tor the return to inu regular democratic ranks ol many democratic leaders who had identified themselves with the anti-Smith movement. Unquestionably the effect ot the incident has been exaggerated but oiuthe other hano its meaning was not lost on the practical politicises, who saw that use could be made of it in arous-, ing southern votes. While the people high up in the democratic party in Virginia did not authorize the distribution ol literature on the De Fries! episode, the fact of the matter was that when the incident occurred it made an indelible- irnpressionon-the people of Virginia, many of whom felt that policies of social equality would continue now to divide the democrats and republicans in the future as they had the past.

The solid south may be broken for economic reasons now and then but with the aid of tne Hoover administration and a few incidents like the De Priest affair, the regular democrats as a rule will have no difficulty in keeping control of their states in national and local contests. So far as the republicans are concerned, their opportunities to win a national election' have hoverbeen diminished in the last generation by the existence of the solid south. The battleground in the 1930 congressional elections as well as In the -1932 presidential election, will be to the northern states. men's suits ri Trr atc ill each SUITS (fJUi WOOL) WOOL DRESSES wsbty- Ejijoy Miracle "Key to Kumfort" Coal, $1 1 to $13 FauleyLumber Co.

We removed the prejudice against cigarettes when we removed harmful corrosive ACRIDS (pungent irritants) from the tobaccos.

OMAHA (." Reed Judson, AS EARLY as August this store set about planning our twelfth Anniversary Sale. Last year's crowds were tremendous. We planned that this year's crowds should be greater. Last year's values were heralded for hundreds of miles. We determined that this year's news should be heard wherever the story of storekeeping is told.

Last year's volume of business was unique jn the city's, first stores. This year's must exceed the topmost figure. Last year's service was commendable. This year's ser- vice has been worked out to a systematic perfection. With the prices so unusual for this time of year, made possible by our decision.
