Fifth Avyenne Residents Want No Eiectric Motor in Theirs—A Do- nation to the Veterans— Council Doings. Sientenced For Life. Tho Brosks murdsr trial is ended, and after a fair aid impartial hearing of the avi- dence in tho case, the jury has decided that the defendant, Tuowmas Brooks, is guilty of murder in the first degres, as charged in the indictment, and has decreed that, as a pun- ishment for s erime, he shall be imprisoned at hard labor in the penitentiary of the state for the remainder of his natural hife. The verdict was reached with little dim- culty, and in an hour and a half from the time tho jurymon left their seats thoy wo back in the jury box, and had returned their finding to the court. . The Afth and last d of the trial was occupied with the arguments of counsel and the instractions of the court. Colonel Dailey resumed his plea for the defendant when eourt opened in the moralng, and concluded at ten minutes bofore 12 o'clock. He sifted the testimony very carefully, but it was a hopeless effort, as he had little or notaing on which to work. Notwithstanding this he labored long and carnestly for the accused, skillfully bandling the weal points of the vrosecution, if such the slight discrepancies and inaceuracies of the state's evidence may be termed, and placing his client in the best possible light, which, it must be admitted, was far from favorable, As far as the merits of the case were con- cerned, the defense was lamantably wanting. In conclusion, Colonel Dailey made a strong and touching plea in behulf of the aged pa- rents of the accused. In the afternoon Prosecuting Attorney Organ made his closing argument. It was lucid and foreible, devoid of any attempt at flighty oratory, presenting the plain, un- varnished facts of the case in a most eonvine- ing manner, Keen and mcisive, it carried weight with the jury, and made for the at- torney as wella most creditable showing of his legal acumen and ability to fill the responsible position which he holds as prosecuting attorney of the larzest county in the state of Iowa. His skillful management of the case was a surprise to nearly every one, and many richly deserved complimeits were bestowed upon him. Shortly beforn 4 o’clock Judee Macy bogan his charge~to the jury, which was quite lengthy, and the delivery occupiad about twenty minutes. The charge coverea con- siderable ground, being, mn fact, quite e haustive, and, in the opinion of numerous attorneys, was as fair a charge as was ever delivered to ajury from this bench. The defendant’s counsel could také no exceptinn to it, und expressed the opinion that it was very favorable to the prisoner. Neverthe- less, the verdict was far from being a gen- | surprise, although several expected a dict of manslaughter, The prisoner heard the announcement of the verdict with but little show of feeling, beyond a contraction of the muscles of tho lipe, while his cyes fell to the matting before him. When taken back to the jail be stated that he did not eare o much for himself, but regretted it on his mother's account. He said that it made little difference to him what the verdict was, but his unconcern was evidently assumed, and ho was far from feeling the indifference which he professed. The work in the jury room was completed in short order, but six ballots being 'n to decide on tue prisoner’s guilt, the deeree, and the punishment. ‘The first ballot was as to the guilt of the ac- cused. The result was ten for guilty, one blank and one not guilty. The second batlot resulted in @ unanimous vote of guiity. Then the degree was considered. The first ballot stood ten for murder in the first de- gree, and two for murder 1 the second de- gree. The next ballot resulted unanimously, and the prisoner was decided guilty of the crime charged in the indictment. Lastly, the punishmenc was taken up. On this the ballot was divided the same as on the ques- tion of the weuilt of the accused, the first ballot resulting ten for lifo imprisonment, ono blank and one in favor of 'inflicing the death penalty. The second ballot was unaninous, sll de: claring that punishment should be life im- prisonment at hard labor. A history of the crime for the commission of which Thomas Brooks is sentenced to end his days inside prison wails has previously been given in these columus, and a repe vion is necessary. Suftice it to say that as Frauk De Goode fills a premature grave, robbed of his life by a murderer’s bullet, aa outraged law has decrced that his assassin shall henceforth be robbed of his liberty, aud berded in common with other criminals to make such expiation as possible for his awful erime. e The Bee the Best Advertising Medium Monday’s glove sale at the Boston store was the most remarkable sale ever held m this city, and was attended by the largest and most respectable crowd that ever at- tended any special sale held by us in all our experience as business men.

ForueriNanay, Winirteraw & Co., Boston Store, Council Bluffs, So'ving the City Water Question, An article signed “Physician’ appeared inthe Nonpareil yesterday regarding the impurity of the city water and its totul un- fitvess for drinking or cooking purposes, and attributing to it the greater part of the sick- néss now existing in the city. In the article appeared the following: “*Wo bave hesitated a good deal about ing anything of the present source from which Council Bluffs gets its water supply, but weare now convinced that the water b is pumped into the settling basins, the water thut we use to drink and cook with, i8 absolutely recking with poison, and full of disease and death, ny person who will take the trouble to ride on the motor cars to the river will see but too plainly the character of the water we drink. Jn the first place a pond has veen made to which the water is conducted through an irrigating ditch from the river a considerable distance beyond. This diteu s lined with weeds and grasses and open to the use of everybody who secs fit touse it for auy purpose ‘whatever, The pond fed by this ditch 18 also unpro- tected and open to abuse and the deposit of filth. The wagon bridge crosses it, aud the fful therefrom finus its way into the water below, The motor line passes over it, and men spit tobaceo juice and throw vile cigars into ths water, littie dreaming, and some of whem cariug 10ss, tget they are adding poison to the very water they driulk, “18 it any wonder that malarial fever is abroad in Council Bluffs! Is it any wonder that httle” children are dying daily from diphtheria, and fathers and mothers wring their hands and cry out 1 agouy of fear for the child that rewiaine! Is it any wonder that dysentery is everywhere and people are ki “The great wonder is that half the pop ulation of the eity is not prostrate from dis- ease; that diphtieria is not killing children by the score daily instead of at the rate of two or three. ““I'he board of health should procead with- out a moment's delay to condemn the pres ent conditious, to order the pond done away with, and a box sluice from the settling basin to the middle of the Missouri river. where runniug water can be taken aad pumped into the settiing basin, *No matter if it does cost the water com- pany some mouey 10 make the nocessary changes. We pay o water tax and are eu- titled to pure water if we can get it. But the chavge will be comparatively e to make and the experse will not be considera- ble. All that is needed is for the taxpayers 10 take action in Lhe prewises and the chauge will be readily made. Uatil this is doue not a dropof water should be used for cooking or drinkiug purposes without first being boiled and allowed to settle. Physcians say this, and some of thew do not use the river water at all, regarding it as dangerous in the extreme.” The article was shown to Dr. Macrae, and his opinion regarding it solicited. “Why," said he, ‘it is all the veriest nonsense. here is not the slightest ground on which to base such statements, I am treating soveral cases of diphtheria, aad without a single exception they are in families which get their drinking and _cooking water from wells, They are nearly all in the lower portion of the city, but [ know of nearly a dozen cases in the eastern part of the ocity, where all of the fam lies are also using well water, 1 will state now, and challenge success ful contradiction, that by far the groater part of the sickness in the city at the present time is in families using weli water. As for the city being so_impure, that is, a8 I said be- , the veriost nonsense, and the charge 18 made by folks who don’t know what they are taiking about, I think that it would b bet- ter if the settling basin did not extend down under the bridge, but the situation is not so se- rious as represented. 1 believe in thoroughly aerating water, and if [ was going to suz st a change, I would advise having the empty into the reservoir from the top d of from the bottom. The pine might bo raised ten or fifteen feet, which wouid give tho water plenty of fall, and then by placing some kind of a break underneath, tfe water would be divided into numerous streams and fully exposed to the air, ~ This would puvify the air still further, and make it us bealthy as possible, I am opposed to using 1upure water, and I know that our city water is far above the average. Our health reports show it, for our mortality rate is less than in any city of similar size in the country.” I'rom General Manager Hart, of the Water Works company, it was learned that the company intends making several changes. Said he: “When the matter came up a few weeks ago, and some of the papera raised a hue and cry about impure water, Mr. Shel- don, treasurer of the company, wrote from New Yo-k, asking for an estimate of plans and cost for making such changes as might be required. The company does not think any changes necessary to secure pura_water, being satisfied from un analysis that they have had made that the water is not impure, but they are willing, 1f the citizons are muk: ing objections, to put the setthog basin in better condition, so as to make it more at- tructive in appearance. ‘The compgny’s chief engineer, Mr. Birkinvine, is now in New York, where he hus gone to submit estinates for such changes, Our instructions are to prepare new reservoirs and another settling basin, if vecossary, and the sides of the diteh and basin will be sodded and a man employed to keep them in good condition, aud the basin will probably be «hanged 80 as to be ontirely above the bridge. ‘The reservoirs and basin will ve kept in as attractive condition as possible, and other work done to please the eyo, but when it comes to furnishing any better water than this city is getting, it is altogether out of the question, At the council meeting yesterday after- noon AMr. Everett introduced a resolution re- quiring the waterworks company to change their settling vasin so that it would he en- tiraly above the motor bridge. Mr. Hart was present and stated that the comp: was alroady preparing to make the chang s00n a8 possible, so that no further action was taken in the matter. Aiways on Time.

Dr. Macrae, Mrs. Amy, Prof. Paulsen, B.Terwilliger and others, togather with the Catholic church authorities who own a block and a half, hava united in a petition for an injauction to re- strain the motor company. The petition sets forth the claim that the company has no right of way down Fifth avenue, and that it has made no arrangements to liquidate the damages, The claim is made that the dam- age will be great, as tho motor will inter- fere with the eojoymentof the beautiful homes and the quiet of the churches and schools, It will endanger life, make driving auything but pleasureable, and in fact will case damage to the amount of thousands of dollars. ZI'he petition was presented to Judge Macy yesterday morning. As his honor was busy with the Brooks murder case, an agreement was reached between the attorneys that the matter should go over until 8:30 o’clock this morniug. The attorney for the motor com- pany anvounced that he had instructed the company 1ot to go on with the work, but to stop until the matter could be heard. The attorneys are to agrec on a statement of facts so as to relieve the court of all but the consideration of the lezal points. There is no little feeling being manifested in regard to the policy being parsued by the motor company, not only on Fifth avenue, but elsewhore, ‘The taxpayers have been led to believe that the motor company was legally bound to pay for the paving of that portion of any strect used by it, extending to one foot beyond each side of its tract, Thus far there Las been no paying for paving un- less on the quiet o some broperty owne who have roared so loud as to se- cure a private settlement. The ecity has @ goodly sum due it under this law for the portion of the intersections thus taken. Tho city could afford to press its claims in court, but the city council scems to have been put to sleep or else they have little faith in their rights, One or two of the aldermen are in favor of forcing a scttle- meut, and especially in regard to Avenue A, That avenue has been practically rendered impassible for teams, The dirt has been dug out of the street and thrown into a road- bed for the motor. These aldermen, who are in the minority, insist that the motor company should grade that street and put it in as good conuition as before, The council as 6 body has not, however, shown any dis- position to force the matter, ‘The motor company hus taken two feet off the corner of the court house parking o bet- ter accommodate itself, The eity council granted the company this privilege, though Just what right the city has to grant such an infringement of county rights is a puzzler to many, At the corner of Pearl and Pifth avenue a network of very sharp curves is being put in, The iron guards are an inch or more above the rails, the sharp edges sticking up 80 a8 1o render it exceedingly probable that buggies will be wreckea there by the score, It is now asserted that under the law of Towa the ity owns the streets, parking and sidewalks in fee simple, and abutting prop- erty owners have no more rights than any others. Yet, strangely enough, the abutting property owners are called upon to pay for ull the street {mprovements. There is a good deal of hot talk heard on the corners. Many who do not like to liti- gate chuckic at secing their neighbors do so, and wish them success, Others look to the gity council to protect their interests, claim- ing that they pay taxes to support a strong leval arm, which shall be used in staying the encroachments of corporations, instead of Aving citizens to a hopeless siugle handed combat with such a strong opponeut.

Why, in this world wi fortunately have to earn their own bread and butter there are not some who will not go out and mend things,or duds, is something Tcannot understand, says a writer in the New York Sun. It would much more ereditable to a wo- man to sew on missing hooks and oyes, to mend lace flounces, to put drapery back to the place where it belongs, or to freshen up fritls of lace at the throat, and do it well, than to insist on making ill-fitting bodices, badly cut skirts, and plucing pockets where you will sit down on them,and couldn’t reach them to save your soul. The average dress- maker regards the doctoring of a ward- robe as beneath- her, which only proves to me and to you what all-around fools women are capable of being. To have somebody whom you can trust come in once a weelk, or whenever you want her, take your keys, look over your belong ings, put a stitch where 1t is wanted, thus saving the twonty that the furure might require, is, [ consiler a great blessing, and one that would be appreciated by hundreds of wo- men. The claim usually is that thoy don’t get enough pay for it, and that the work don’t muke any show; well, let them ask a fair price, und if the person for whom they are working doesn’t groan about the show, I don’t see why they should. I think— but then I am only mortal, and dr makers are beyond that—that there is ten times as much show in a bodice properly mended, and a skirt with a fresh rufile about the bottom, than in a directoire coat that is illficting, unsuit- able for the person who will” wear it, and which makes so much of a show that all the artistic nature of the Amer- ican public rises up and metaphorically cries **Fie upon it In fixing over—delightful term!—a bodice, remember the agonies that the small hooks and eyes caused you all summer, and with what persistency they broke your nails, Take them all off anda put good sized ones on, having not all the hooks on one side and the eyes on the another, but putting first a hook and then an i insures the bodice remaining closed. Then, for draperies, beware of the safety hooks—their only safety consists in their being safe to come undone, and you have to pin them besides. Whereas a good, big, every-day work- ing hook will do his ‘duty in that station of the frock where he is neces- sary. About the lower edge of a skirt. If it is worn, take your biggest scissors and cutoff the ragg rc with great evenness, putting as the finish, and to supply the missing length, a scont frill of sillk the same color, with its edges pinked. Of course, this only applies to skirts that have long over draperies— what, indeed, are known as foundation skirts. By the by, if you don’t care to wear a long petticoat, arrange inside of all your dress skivts frills of either white or black lace hing way up to the knee, The right side isnext to 1o you, and the entire effect is extreme- ly pretty, while the lace is stiff enough to give to the skirt the slight disten- tion which is desirable. You are going to take out the big réeds; if itis made so thatsomething in the shape of a reed is required, put in small one, but as you value your temper and the keepingof it do not choose those reeds that hook in the center, but cling to the old straight one tied with tapes. The divided reed is even and rigid in determination not to hook together. It eventually has to be fastened with a sufetypin, then forms a perfect point, and nobody can blame the looker on for wondcring as to the shape of the woman, who, by her innocence, hus been led into making a guy of herself, Do not put way as unwearable the foulards .of summer, but if instead i’mn can’t utilize them for home dresses, n large cities, where an even tempera- ture---that of summer time---pervades the house, these gowns can be fworn with perfect propriety,and one need ot fear that most dreadful of events, catehing cold, . A charming woman in New York ars white mull gowns the entire sea- con for the honse,and she looksas if she were aseraph o something very an- gelie as she walks about in her soft robe that doesn’t rustle and has the artistic air peculiar to the ivory-white material.

A great number of factories have origin- ated in the past ten yoars, and compot- ing brands are as plentiful as those in any line of manufactured articles, Tomato catsup has conquered tho world, In our younger days our mothers used to put up & supply ubout this time ever year for winter use, and it was a condi- ment occasionally served at the table, Now 1t has taken its place with salt and pepper in daily use. Some people ent it three times a day, and many mil- lions of gallons are required to supply the annual demand. This popularity of tho catsup has made tomatoes as profit- able a crop as wheat, and many farm- ers plant acres of vines every year just to supply the catsup factorics,” At 20 cents a bushel an acre of tomatoes is always profitable. The farmer sim- ly fills his wagon bed with the ripe ruit and hauls the load to town.
