OAkrAND, Neb,, June 8.--[Special to Tar Bee.|—The particulars of the two $5,000 damage suits for slander spoken of in to day's Ber, are as follows Rev. Luther, in connection with his charge at Herman, has been holding meetings in a school house eight miles southeast of Craig, with a small but earnest congregation of Methodists. Some time during January or February he was holding meeting at this school house and remained all night with Mr. Addison Farnsworth, one of his members, Farnsworth left his pocketbook containg 115 in his pantaloons pocket in the room that the theologian occupied during the night. The next day Mr. Farnsworth found his pocket- book but no money. His suspicions rested on the divine, and at one of the meetings Mr. Farnsworth alluded to the fact publicly, in a way that left the impression that the reverend had taken the money. Rev. Luther maintained his innocence and demanded a retraction. The wrangle broke up the meet- ings and rehgion at that place came to a standstill and there have been no meetings since. A, P.Job, it is claimed, followed the minister to his home at Herman, to see if he spent the money. Mr. Farnsworth after- wards found his money, but in a different place, he claims. He thereupon went to Rev. Luther with an apology. The reverend de- manded of him to piace his retraction on record in the county clerk’'s ofice, so that if the charges ever came before the conference nst him he could vindicate himself of the charges by the retraction record exhonerat- ing him. This Farnsworth refused to do. Rev. Luther then, to vindicate himself to the public, commenced suit for slander, alleging his character to be damaged to the tune of $5,000 by each gentleman. Luther formerly preached at Crag and all the brethren speak in the highest terms of his honesty and his character as a christian gentleman.

At the court, Walrath was represented by F. B. Donis- thorpe, of this place, an attorney of well known ability, through whose management and presentation of the case the court made the following findings: “That defendant gave the liquorto the par- ties as alleged in the informatlon, but with- out in any way being intended as a sale; o for any gain in any ever, and under section 11 the court finds as a matter of law that the ion only refers to the giving away of liquors in the sense and meaning of giving away the same to evade the license required by law and for some gain.

As his house was undergoing repairs the reception was held in the home of his son adjomning. Three of the Judge's grandsons were celebrating in the yard with a red tablecloth tacked to a clothes pole, when the ex-senator walked slowly up the porch and in a few moments was shaking hands with his guests, From reports at St. Louis I expected to find a physical wreck, or at least a bent anda bowed-down old man. While Thurman is not strong on his legs, owing to the effects of rheumatism, his form is as nearly erect, his eye as clear, his mind as active and his voice as strong as when he led the hosts of aemocracy in the senate. His beard and hair are whiter and his face more pallid, and these, witha hesitating walk, are all the evidences of age discerna- ble.

Cnicaco, Juue 8.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—For the past month or more there bas been a great demand for two “madstones” in the possession of residents of this city.

Yet the fact remains that two of such stones are really in existence and are devoutly trusted by those who have scen them used. The latest of the cases treated in this vicinity was Mr. Fred MeCul- iough, who was bitten Monday by a_ rabid dogr. The stone was apphied that night and adhered to the we A until Tuesday morn ing, being taken off and boiled in milk sev: eral times toremove the supposed poison from it. The worst case that has been t recently was the little daughter of W. B. Lucke of Evanston, I1L, who was bitten by a mad dog five days before the stone w: plied. The attending physician said o clas had set in. The hand had turned black and was swollen out of shape. She was ve feverish and had become sick. A messenger was sent for one of the madstones.

They are much better players, and bad judgment is the chief rcason for the defeat The Milwaukees did uall they could and the Maroous did not do all they might have done, Chance after chance to win the gome was al- lowed to slip by, and of the seven men left on bases, at least four could have been brought home with proper judgment in coaching. The Maroons hit Stephens oftener than the wvisitors hit Coughlin, but somchow the hitting did not prove very effective. The ficlding was certainly creditable on the part of the Muroons. They have only one crror in the column and that is a base on balls, It vill, therefore, be scen they played a perfect me in the field. Weakness at bat is, the fore, the one failing of the team.
