One good old lady in passing along Broadway noticed hang- ing out in front of a second-hand store a red auction flag, and her feminine intuition outran her reason and jumped to the conclusion that there was a case of small pox quarantined there. She dodged the place and walked around the block to escape contagion. She speedily informed her friends that there was one case of of small pox in the city, and like all rumors it spread like the wind Of course there is no small-pox here ‘a8 yet, and no reason for any such alarm, but the foregoing case™ show how easily such reports can be set in motion when the public wind is alive 1o suspicion, * 1f Aw red auction flag can only alarm the non-vaccinated ito having their arms punctured as a preventive, the bit of flarmel will he of service to the city, but if it is only to serve as a basis for false rumors, it had better be furled and laid in ats little bed until the feverish state of public suspicion has boen so allayed that a bit of red flaunel will not unduly excite it. | while he was lying in THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: lation, DULY DISMIS ED I'he Grievous Charge Agalr ble McGimsey Falls to the Gr A Seeming Malicio !

Attorney Jacob Sims was then secured by the prosccution. He heard the woman's story and promptly moved a dismission of the ease, there seeming no show for supporting the ug'y charge preferred against the officer. Me- Gimsey was accordingly set free with- out any evidence bemg taken. It seems that the womn has notany too good a reputation, whether she merits such suspicions or not, and her own narrative of the occurrence indi cates that she was 1ot altogether un- willing to have the offense committed, and that it was, in fact,repeated three times during the night. Itis claimed, and with a show of truth, that the charge was brouzht with the expeeta tion that a financial scttlement could be thus forced The charge having been allowed to slumber since last June up to the present time, indicates that the woman was not so incensed at the alleged crime that she demand ed immediato satisfaction, This week there have heen two cases of this nature bronght to a head here, one for seduction and one for rape, and both have had the bot - tom knocked from under them and both seemed to have no facts or case for prosecution beyond malico or money-making. While all should be anxious that justice should be done, and crime punished, yet a check should be put upon the starting of such cases as seem to arise from base motives and with no evidence to sup port the charges. edless expense is thrust upon the county, charactors are smudged, and filthy details are dropped into public view, and malice and slander given sw morsels to roll under the tongue, In case of such complaint there should he some care exerciscd in getting at a reasona ble knowledge of the facts before insuing papers. LANG-LONG. ANNIE How a Kind-Hearted Judge Got Her Out of a Bad Box on a Beau- tiful Technicality. Special to the Chicago Tribune Dav exvort, Ta, January 19.—-A unique and most intercsting law case, upon the determmation of which hinged the guestion of how to swear legally, was settled to-duy in the Rock Island county (Illinoix) cireuit court, Judge Arthur A. Smith, of Galesburg, presiding. The case lso involves in its origin love laughing at the lock- smith and an elopement, all of which are 80 closely linked together that they are one and inseparable, Jumes W. Loug, an itinerant farm- hand, was hired a few months ago by Mr. John Lang, a well-to do farmer of Cedar county, this state, resding near Tipton. — Lang, the employer, and Long, the employe, in their con- stant_association, became the hest of friends, Lang, of course, out of the goodness of his rustic heart, and Long prompted by the impulse of a yearn- ing heart. Mr. Lang’s home was made happy by the merry laugh and song of his only e nie, a beautiful girl of “sweet While the nequaintance of g and his man Long never grew beyond the common confidence of friendly relations, that which sprang up between Long and Miss Annie ripened into the full matvrity of mutual love. It even may be af- firmed to have taken the most yiolent form of that unreasoning and some times perverse affection. Tt develop ed in the eyes and despite the pro- testations of Mr. and Mrs Lang, un- der whose parental roof Annie had grown. The youny folis insisted, and the old ones sternly objectod, un til the culmination came in the well worn form of an clopement, Mr. Long, whose years should have taught him wiser counsel, and Annie, whose aze made her a minor by the law, traveled together to Rhode Ts land, where the head of the promedi tated family obtained a marringe i conse in dae form from the county clerk, To secure this without the written consent of Annie's parents, or one of them, Mr. Long gaye assent to the following form of oath admin- istered by the deputy clerk: *You do solemnly s facts set forth in this aflidavit ave true, to the best of your kuowledge and belief, 80 help you God, " Long thus swore that his bride's age was cighteon years,and having ob- tained the official and necessary decu- ment by intentional perjury, called a clergyman, and the twain were united in marriage. But the infuriated father followed the fleeing couple, overtook them, snd caused the arrest of the bridegroom, Long, for false swearmg, and he was .| incarcerated in the Rock Islard jail, while the wayward girl was returned 10 the Lome she had left. Long's case, a‘ter an imprisonment of nearly two months, cume before the grand jury last weok,and he was formally in dicted for perjury, ‘The trial was commenced in the cir- cuit court yesterday, and a jury of twelve men” impaneled, .ud this was done after Judge Smith bad over. ruled & wotion of defendant’s counsel to quash the indictment. The prose- cution then took the testimony of sey eral relatives of Aunie Lang Long, and that of the deputy county clerk who administered the oath to Long, as above presented, But in connection with l&w clerk's testimony he said he did not remem- THURSDAY JANUARY 26 18.2 COUNCIL BLUFFS AND IOWA NEWS. ber whether or not he had sworn with the upifred band, The defense ob- | by the evil of tobacco selling that he to the affidavit on two grounds: | quit selling cigars and tobaceo, in | the B vemembering whether Long [ which line he 1 a flourishing | wore with the uplifted hand, and the | trade.

Henry Crowell was before Rocorder afternoon to answer wes of larceny. He ready served one term for stealing, Burke yesterday several ¢l had and on his reloase made a general raid about the city, swcoeeding in picking up at different pipe, & pair of rubber boots, a halter, places a coil of load two horse collars, some copper rivets and a washboard. Crowell is a plastorer by trade, and is said to bo a good one, and iv seems that when the weather does not per- mit him to follow his trade, he in- dulges in stealing, and thus gets boarded at the county's expense until the season opens agun. After sery- ing a short time in the jail and being discharged, ho continued to hang around there as though being fond ot the place. The sheriff drove him away, and forthwith the young man proceed to steal, as though determined to get back in despite the sheriff. Crowell has a wise fear though of stealing enough to send him to the penitentiary, and when the numerous articles stolen were enumerated yes- terday afterncon he was very cautious about coufessing that he stole (hem. He first pleaded guilty to stealing the halter, then concladed he might as well own up as to the horse collars, and thus fizured his way through one articlo after another until he aditted the whole. Heo was safe in any event, had he realized it, but he proposedto take no chances. On three charges the court sentenced hum to one week in jail on each, making the total twenty-one days at hard labor. He expressed himsolf as anxious to get out of the state altogether, but his past record shows this to be talk, and that he is quite content to stay at the county's expense until the plastering season opens briskly, when he cau do better working than stealing.

The play was fairly put on and the scenic effect of the slide of the avalanche, by which the hut in the mountain was buried in snow and ice, called forth much applause, Last evening the time worn but ever enjoyatle playof Rip Van Winkle was put upon the boards, with Murray in in the title role. Tt is foolish to elaim that he can compare with Jetferson, and it is no particular discredit to him } to say that he fails to reach that high standard. Stillhe is far superior to most of those who have essayed the difficult task. Tn some parts he was very strong, and_in all he did work which was a credit to him. The com- pany gave an excellent eupport, and Miss Cortland as Getchen was very fine. Any company which has so varied a ropertoire as this one has works every at a disndvantage as compared «ith a company playing continually one piece, but the Cartlaad-Murray company overcome this disadvantaye 80 far that their rendition of varied plays have convinced the public that there is much talent among them of the general utility order. This evening the company will play “‘Camille.” In this Miss Cartland ap- lmursut her best, as those who saw her before will testify. The play will afford an entertainment of such merit and enjoyment that none should fail to witness it.
