His home is about six miies southwest of here, where he owns a fine farm.

A Dramatic Scene in the Oarter Divorce Case. COURT ADJOURNS THROUGH PITY The Strain of Yesterday's Revolting Proceedings Leave Thair Mark on Mrs, Carter's Win- some Face. A Ruthless Oross-Examination. Cmieaco, April 10.—[Special Telegram to Tue Ber.|—Mrs. Leslie Carter was again on the witness stand all day, and subjected to the most searching cross-examination. She oame into court preceded by her mother and followed by Judge Sidney Smith, her coun- sel. She walked from the judge’'s room to her seat with a long, slow step. The strain of yesterday’s proceedings, in which she had to tell in words the revolting details of the alleged wrongs to which she had been sub- jected, had left a trace on her countenance. She looked weary, fatigued and worn. Her face looked drawn, and when one looked at her, her face twitched and she seemed to swallow an imaginary something which choked her, but she was always self-con- scious, Tho effect of every movement was caleulated, from the graceful swing of tho soft, black drapery to her dress and tha ap- parently unintentional display of the small foot, as she took her place in the chair, tothe tone'in which she answored the questions of whe ruthless cross-examining lawyer, every motion looked as if she knew that other peo- ple saw hér. While waiting for the proceed- ings to begin, Mrs. Carter sat squarcly fac- ing the jury, and looked steadily and in- tently at the face of each juror in turn, It was not. the pleading glance of the woman sooking sympathy, It was more of a critical review of the twelve men whose decision in this case meaut 8o much to her. The jurors returned her glauces, but she could have gathered but little from the judicial-like mien of most of the arbitrators of her fate. The crowd at the door was larger than yes- terday, but they were kept out by tho strat- of the bailiff, who allowed the number quisite to fill the room to enter by way of the jury room. The rest were barred out. The same men, or such of them as could get in, were present to-day who were in attendance yesterday. No women were amoug the spectators to-day, the revolting details of Saturday’s testimony having apparently shocked thie few who were present then. The cross-examination developed nothing new or differing from the facts sworn to in the direct testimony. It appeared that Carter's relatives were a fre- quent cause of disagreement betwecn the couple. They had a great deal of influence with him, which it seemed the young wife ented, and one of the alleged assaults ned to grow out of a conversation b tween them about his people, The chas that Carter refused to furnish her with necessary delicacies during her sickness was gone 1uto, but she couid not specify the ar- ticles which she asked for and which he de- nied. The wituess' memory as to dates and persons was very poor, and there were many tiffs between her and her husband's lawyer, Mr. Walker, in which the lawy would have gotten the worst of it were 1t not for the interference of the court. During his wife’s testimony Carter satata table near his lawyer, his chin resting on his band, and a look of intense yet restless anxicty on his face. Just before the noon djournment unother of the many repulsive scenes which have characterized the case, g Mr. Waiker insisted upon an 0 the question to what extent had abused her. Mrs. Carter tried hard to vade this question. Judge i tively ruled thet she must ans Carter still evaded and quibbled and pretended not to understand what the lawye meant. She was seeking time. Again a again in different forms the query was put, and at last Mr. Walker, in the plainest terms, asked the question. The reply was equivocal. “You can answer yes or no,” smd the judge. ‘[ can not answer yes or no at this time,”’ said Mrs. Carter with an agonized look, and the court took pity on ner and aajourned. M rter sank apparently exhausted in a chair peside ber mother. In the afternoon the examination was continued, and she was led upon to identify a number of letters itten from Klorida. Mr. Walker said he desired to offer them as evidence, because the witness had testified that she had asked for a separation because of brutal treatment, whereas the letters showed " thut she not only decided to go to ISurope, but to have her husband accompany her. Mrs, Carter's examination was not con- at 4:20 p. m., when Mr. Walker for an adjournment until Monday. He said that he could be through with her in less time if he had Saturday and Sunday to aigest her evidenc He wished to examine her only as to her wanderings in kurove, With this statement, the case was adjourned to Monday, when iv is expected that Mrs. Carter’s examination will be finished. Her next witness will probably be her mother, and after Mrs. Dudley, bher maid. - LIOWA NEWS. Sioux City Swindler Shown Up. Srovx Ciry, Ia., April 19.—[Special to Tne BEeE.|—The man who, under the name of B. Simpson, swindled the Sioux City Savings bank out of $3,000a few days since, turns out to be o criminal of most extraordinary record, For thirty years he has been en- gaged in a series of exploits, in which he has shown unparalleled ‘cunning, skill, boldness and originality, Forgery is his favorite and almost exclusive pastime, although he applies it by a wonderful variety of methods. Scores of banks in all parts of the country have been timized in much the same man- ner in which the Sioux City bank was done up. He bas operated under almost innum able aliases—Colonel Humphries, Porter, Hardin, Westcott, Colonel Merritt, Colonel wsbury, Biddie, Humphreys-Hardin, ete. The amount of money which this accom- plished scoundrel has secured runs ‘up into hundreds of thousands of dollars. He is a graduate of Amherst college, and a man of large and varied information. He has been caught many times, and in several cases sentenced to the peniten- tiary, but such is his adroitness that he has never yet served out a full term. He has always either been pardoned or suc- ceeded in escaping. His method for securing a pardon or making an escape is to simulate insanity. Inat least a dozen cases he has deceived specialists, and 80 has been trans- ferred w insane asylums, from which be has invariably escaped. In his schcmes he al- ways works alone, never trusting to a con- federate. He doesnot need one. Des Moines' New High School.

Rothery vs Day. Prof. Arthur Rothery, of this city, and one Jack Day, of New York, sparred cight very tame rounds at the People’s theater last nignt. Day is a novice, and a mighty poor one at that, and Rothery, who is as clever as clever can be, tapped " him here, there and everywhere, as easy as rolling off alog. A Mr. loway, from Joeobi, refereed the mateh after a fashion, “EDITOR'S BA STAIRS."” The Interesting Views of the Late Dr, J. G. Holland. The columns of the newspapers ap- pear to be flooded with proprietar medicine advertisements. As we cast our eye over them, it brings to mind an article that was published by the late Dr. Holland in Scribner’s Monthly. He | s “Nevertheless, .it is a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day were more successful than many ph us, and most of them, it should be remembered, were at first discovered or used in actual medicine practice. When, however. any shrewd person, knowing their virtie, and fore- sceing their popularity, secures and advertises them, in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out of them,” This great man appreciated the real merits of popular remedies, and the ab- surdity of those who devided them be- cause public attention was called to the article and the evidence of their cur If an ulcer is found upon one’s arm and is cured by some dear old grand- mother, outside of the code, it will be pronounced by the medical jprofession an ulcer of little importance. But if treated under the code, causing sleep- less nights for a month, with scientific treatment, viz.: plasters, washs, dosing with morphine, arsenic and other vile substances, given to prevent blood por: oning or deaden pain, and yet the ulce becomes malignant and amputation be- comes necessary at last, to save lifo, yot all done according to the *‘isms’ of the medical code, this s much more grati- fying to the madical profession, and adds more dignity to that distinguished order than to be ‘eured by the dear old grandmothor’s remedy. One of the most perplexing things of the day is the I)opullu'ily of certain rem- edies, especially Warner’s Safe Cure, which we find for sale everywhere. The physician of the highest standing 18 ready to concede its merits and sus- tain the theories the proprietors have made—that is, that it banefits 1 most of the ailments of the human system because it assists in putting the kidneys in proper condition, thereby aiding T throwing off the impurities of the blood, while othors with less honesty and experience deride, and are willing to see their patient die scientifically, and according to the code, rather than have him cured by this great remed The discoverer comes boldly before the people with its merits, and pr elaims thewm from door to door, .'nu* is 1n our opinion much more honorable than the physician who, perchance, may secure a patient from some ecatas- trophe, and is permitted to set a bone WAR ON THE WHISKY. FRUST. Mr. Kidd, of New York, Throws Down the Gauntlet. HE HAS COUNTED THE COST And Though the Odds Seem Ovoer whelming He is Confident of Leaving the Lists a Victor. . The Trust Says, “Another Fool.'" Cnteago, April 19.—[Special Telogram to Tik Bek.]—Yes, another fool has been con- ceited enough to think that ho can run a dis- tillery and defy tho trust, but we will show him that tho trust is in the businoss to down cvery one that opposes us.’ Tho speaker was one of the ofticers of the Phavnix Distil- lory company, a member of the whisky trust. Ho uttered the strong words with a vindio- tiveness that was scarcely less than alarm- ing, and he brought his fist down ou the desk in front of him with a thud that made the stationery resting there rattle. Yos, “another f001,"" as the trust representative calls him, has started on the war-path with the avowed object of breaking the groat liquor combine. Ho has laid his plans thoroughly, considered well the great step he is taking, has been refused aid by the Schufeldts and many others, but is in the race alone, backed up, however, by his own millions and those of & few of lis friends. The new enemy who has risen to menace the trust is none other than George W. Kidd, the New York wholesale liquor dealer, whose fortune is es- timated to be between $5,000,000 and 10,000,000, Mr. Kidd has been in Chicago aud vicinity for the last five woeks, and only yesterday he left this city for home, having let the contracts for the erection of a 5,000 bushel distillery in La Salle. This is only a starter. Other schemes are on top, 8o to speak, and a year hence may seo & combina- tion of distillcries under the control of George W. Kidd that will bode no good to the trust.

Some cautious inquiries regarding Kidd’s plans gwere made of a dark-whis- kered gentleman, who said ho was the man- ager, but didn’t want his name mentioned. l Yes, he knew Kidaj the fellow wasn't a man 10 be afraid of. “Oh, we know just what Kidd has been doing,” said the manager, slyly. *The trust looks out for that. You know we've got lots of friends around the country, and they keep us posted. But T give you my word of lonor thut Kidd hasn’t_common sense, and doesn’t know what he is doing. But that's neither here nor there, 1 The old fello s going to start un at La Salle, where he has_alrewdy ined the grounds. The city of La Salle gave him the laud, 1 understand, and offered him a bonus to locato there. It's the old scheme, though, I think, to try and frighten the trust into buying'him out at a big price, but we won't do'it. We are not fighting anybody on the surfice, but we cun make whisky cheaper than any other firm or combination in ex- stence. Weo have the surplus cash to use in such cases, and_will quietly undersell him until he 1s rumed and_compelled to give up.”! The manager further said that Kidd had given the trust u good deal of trouble at Des Moines, where he, several years ago, operated a distillery. The trust bought him out, aud at that time he ugreed not to again ongage in the munufacture of liquor for ten ycars “But_he broke his word,” the manager added distaintully, “What effect will Kidd’s output have on the trust?” was ked, ““None whatever. e can ruin him. only a question of time, you know. trust is bound 10 win.” Mr. Kidd, accompunicd by Mr. Amos K. Tappan, of the pump manufacturing firm of Wheeler & Tappun, went before United States Commissioner Hayne yestorday afte ‘moon, and_there dr. Kidd filed the $1,000 bond required by the government when a dustillery is to be started. There a reporter obtained the story of Kidd's undertaking. He hus alrcady erected u small distillery on the ground ai La Salle, but this was done simply to hold the ground for the larger cstablishment. The enterprise, it 18 said, will give employment to about’ fifteen hun- dred men. 'Theé contracts for the pumping works have been let to Wheeler and Tappan, and those for the copper works are under- stood to have been taken by G. . Harris & Co. There is no doubt that the trust fears the competition of Kidd, notwithstanding its boasts to the contrary. Several establish- ments would prove a serious menace to the power of the trust. Itis thonght that the end of the warfare will probably be that Kidd and the other anti-whisky trust people will combine and that u war of prices will be the result. It is The e SR CONTRACT AWARDED, Stevens Will Build t $75,000 Struc- ture for the Methodists. The board of trustees of the Iirst Metho- dist Episcopal church met atthe oftice of Mendelssohn, Fisher & Lawrie, in the Pax ton block, last night, for the purpose of open ing the bids and awarding the contrnct for the construction of the new M.
