BALDWIN, BLIVENS, BALLARD. The Tale of Three B's and a Missing Witness. JOHN LAUER'S SECOND TRIAL. Mrs. French's Baby—His Imaginary Foe —Sharp Tracklaying — He Wouldn't Marry — Rail Notes—Brevities. Three B's and a Missing Witness, Blivens, the principal witness in the Ballard mur been absent from Omaha for more than a week, and it is extremely doubtful if he can everbe fnduced to return to this city. He is the witness upon whom the prosecution vily, but through the negli- of some one he has been lost, Judge Stenberg re- letter from Blivens, swritten at tAtlantie, Ia. In it he states that he was perfectly will- ing to testify against Ballard, but for one thing, he did not want to be locked up in the Jail, before the trial came off, Bliv- ens states that he had a long Kk with Baldwin, Estelle's assistant in the prose- cution of Ballard, « that gentleman assured him that he would neither have to give bonds for his appearance asa witness or go to prison in defanlt ot bail. Blivens then goes on to state that ~ shortly — after Baldwin told toid him this, he was informed g ly that a rh-puu was looking for him, to have him bouiid over as a witness in the sum of $800. He knew that he could not furnish this amount, and that if he re- mained in town imprisonment was the only alte ive. Accordingly, to use his L he “crossed the r: Blivens com atment he met with at the b the authoritics, on the occasion of n for- mer trial, nd vs that in coming out hcro lu [ ~||f) he lost a uable position state, of course, will make an ef- lort w ef him back here. It is very much to be doubted, however, whether their efforts will be successful. CH'S BABY, What Dr. Arbuckle Says About that Mysterious Infant. The police are still loo child of Mrs. Emily story was mentioned in yesterds Dr, George Arbuckle who has uulrm-nl from her western trip, denies knowing anything about French's child. According to her , some weeks ago wealthy parents were about to be 1 for a time placed in her hands Shein turn gave ”IN to a Mrs, Hobbs to 0. Mrs. E child until a short time ago, \\]u'n hout to leave for Missouri on visit, she placed the infant in charge of another family.

In truth, so far as can be learned now, Ilhl!rnb'\hll‘ that Dr. Georgia is_entirely guiltless in the matter and that the case is one of those curious mistakes which now and then are bound to occur. Murs. French, who is a little, dark-com- lexioned woman,was scen by a rl,pm ter or the BEE She stated that sh baby in charge of Miss the nfant she had parted with 1 November last. She says that she ga jtto n woman calling herself Goorg Moore, but as the woman was closely veiled, she cannot describe her. *‘Miss Moore” stated that she was going to Kansas, and would correspomi regularly Wwith the mother, but so far she has failed to do so. s.

Tuesrday;at the council anordinanco was read allowing the Union Pacific to build a track on Sixth strect from Ja son to the regular depot grounds, Ex- Councilman Thrane was permitted to speak upon the subject, and urged that the ordinance be not passed beeause the B. & M. had already stolen ACross the property in that vicinity, andtf the Union Pacitie were now allowed to build it would ruin the only property that he owned. This morning when Mr. Thrane arose from his slumbers, it was not the Union Pacific but the B. & M. road which menaced his possessions most. Both companies had been watching each other eagerly. Without waiting for the ge of the ordinance the Union Pa- cific commenced late last night to lay their track on Sixth from Leavenworth to Pacilic street. 'They were observed by the B. & M.,who immediately commenced ay their track ahead of the Union Pa- at the latter street and cut them off’ from proceeding further south, while the B.& M. described another bend with their rails over the Howell’s land to- ward the Union Pacific bridge. This morning the latter people w still working at the track, while Mr. Thrane was running around town to_get an in- junction. ‘The B. & M. runs through two of Chas, Woodwaorth's lots and one of ex- Alderman Thran School Board Extravagance, Councilman Goodrich denounces the demands of the school boardas evidences of reckless extravagance.

Complaint is frequently made by those who use bhaking powders that they leave in bread, biscut or cake raised by them a disagreeable, bitter tast>. This taste follows the use of all impure baking powders, and is caused either by their containing lime or alum (introluced to make a cheap article), by the impure and adulterated chavacter of other ingre- dients used, or from tne ignorance of their manufacturers of the proper methods of combining thew. anese baking powders leave in the bread residuum formed of I, earth, a'um or other deleterions matters, not not always, though nequenta,, t:s able in the food, and by all physicians classed as injurious to heal*h. The Royal Baking Powder is free from this serious defect. Tn its use no residuum is left, and the loaf raised by it is always sweet, light and wholesome, aud noticeably free from the pecu liar taste complained of. The reasonof this is because it is composed of nothing but absolutely pure materials, scientifically combined in exactly the proper proportions of acid and alkali to act upon and destroy cach This asser- other, while producing the largest amount of leavening gas. g g tion is justified by the unqualified statements made by the government chemists, who after thorough and exhaustive tests recommended the “Royal” for purity, strength and wholesomeness. overnment use because of its superiority over all others in There is no danger of bitter ad or biscuit when the Royal Baking Powder is used, DEWEY & STONE, FURNITURE One of the Best and Largest Stock United States to Select From. _OMAHA.NEB. in the SIX-CORD SOFT FINISH SPOOL COTTON. —— Full Assortment for sale to the Trade by — VINYARD & SCHNEIDER ONAIIA, - - NEBRASIK.A.
