The trial has occupied two days, and will go to the jury to-day. The reception given by tne Guards last evening was an elegant as well as most_suc. cessful affair. The new varlors were beau- tifully decorated with plants and flowers, ‘Which set off the handsome furniture to greav advantage. The new floor in tho armory proved a great attraction to many Who passed the evening in the mazy dance. The Guards, who numbered nearly two hun- dred couples, were the elite of the city. The Guards have established an enviable socicty reputation and their parties arc always looked forward to with much anticipation, Several compluicts were made yesterday regarding the action of the authorities in neglecting to attend to the ruins of the burned transfer barn, where a dozen horses perished in the flames, The stench from the docaying horseflesh became almost unbear- able. and to make it worse the doss began working on the carcasses. They tore them open and scattered tho entrails over a dis- tanco of a block. It was o wost disgusting sight.

Sunday's Tragedy Opens the Door For a Searching Investigation. THREE HEAVY DAMAGE SUITS, The Proprietors Take Posscssion of the Ogden House and Will Ran It 10 Suit Themselves and the Traveling Public. The Police Seandal. Policeman U. W, Scott, who still remains under arrest to await the result of the shoot- ing of Mrs. Willlam Ladd, the prostitute with a dozen aliases, whose cranium was perforated by a bullet from Scott’s revolver at Belle Clover's bagnio Sunday night, had several callers ab the police station yester- da; He begins to realizo that he is in a very unenviable position aud exhibits con- siderable nervousness, although he still strongly asserts his innocenco and denies having had any part in the shooting. He re- fuses, however, to ma ke any extended state- ment for publication, saying that his attor- ney, Colonel D. B. Dailey, has advised him to say nothing about the matter for the present. ‘The woman is still living, but her physician states that it will bo impossible for her to ro- cover. She was quite rational for a while yesterday and talked freely on other sub- jects, but was extrameiy reticent during tho morning regarding the shooting, although she repeated her assertion of the previous duy that she did not do 1t herself. She was evidently averse to saying anything that would be unfavorable for Scott. The doctor probed for the ball again in the afternoon, but could not find it. Atthis time the woman appeared to be very rational and then stated that she did tho shooting herself. She did not do it intentionally, as she supposed that the gun was not londed. Whether her state- ment at this time would have any weight 1s of course a question for medical authority to determine, Dr. Waterman, who was present at the time, states that in his opinion the woman was sufticiently rational for her statement to be entitled to credence, and oxpresses the belief that the shooting was done by the wownn heiself, in the manner in - which she stated. The fact that the wound is severely powder burned, indicating that the weapon was held very near her bead, tends 1o cor- roborate this belief. If it is satisfactorily proven to the author- ities that such is actually the case, it will probably relieve Scott of the unpleasant features of a criminal prosecution, but it will Dy 10 means restore him to his former posi- tion. He has lost everything that makes life worth living to an honorable man--wife, home, friends and the respect of his fellow men. That ue will evade a prosecution for doing the shooting is, however, by no means cer- tain, An attorfey remarked yesterday that the law would not wink at such deeds, and that the statement of thres physicians as o the woman's mental condition ought to be secured before her utterances were received with assurance. hou!d she die without sat- isfactorily removing this cloud that hangs r Scott’s head he may find himself n a ory serious position, Much sympathy is expressed on all sides for the wife of the prisoner, although little or none is felt for him, even by his wifa, who stated that she did not blame the woman who had come between her and her hus- band half as much as she did him. She said that she had never had any reason to beieve that anything of this kind was iz on until her husband weat on the po- 0 fore She does not attribute to him all of the biame, but severely censures another member of the force (who shall for certain reasons be nameless for the present), alleg- ing that ho and her husband were together a great deal, and that the former was instru- mental in getting her husband into houses of prostitution, which they frequently visited together. The affair has caused a great deal of com- ment on the streets, and many rejoico at it because of the opportunity it affords for ex- posing some of the rottenness that has ex- isted in tue police force of late. Swid a po- liceman yesterday : I have often had cause to blush because I was a member of the force. The prostitutes discussed as so wmuch_per- sonal property, and it 1s opeuly asserted that Maud is So-and-So's woman, and unother is solid with Blanche. 1 have been disgusted time and agan, but I could not compluin of them without getting into trouble, for I tell you the majority would be on the other s:de by big odds.” “I can well believe that,” said a well known physician who was alistener to these statements, “as my own personal obsery: tions tell me thav it is so. I ‘have been called to attend these women, and have frequently heard remarks which showed how matters stood between them and the police. One could do what she pleased, as she was all right with such a iber of the force, and anothier was posi- that another star wearer would not see her get the worst of it.”! 1f a house is to be pulled,” continued the ofticer, “there are men on the force who will make an early visit and sec that certain women are out of the way before the raid is made, Any one can see what a posi would put me in if [ was tosay just who they are, for there would boan investigation when the papers raised a how! about it, and I would be hauled in as a witness, 1 can easily prove all I say, but I don’v want to gev mixed up in any such fuss, A police- man’s life is hard enough without inviting trouble, and I don't want to need!essly make half a dozen bitter enemies to try to got even with me for causing them the loss of a job. However, facts are facts, and there is plenty of room for an investigation. Why don’t the mayor have detectives shadow the men oc- casionally and find out how they spend their time, and whether they ure attending to their duty or not! They say they don't kunow about these things, yet they ought to know. I don's claim to bo perfect, but it is pretty tough to have to work alongside of some of these men, and then feel the humihation of having the pavers come out on an occasion like this and teil about the shortcomings of oone of them. A man can't help but feel the dis- grace of it, for it attaches to his uniform."” With shame it mzust be admitted that this is only too true, and bundreds there are n the city who know it. It is time that there are good men on the force, and they should not be made to suffer for the ‘misdeeds of others, yet they must boto a certain extent as long as_disreputablo and conscienceless men ure allowed on the force with them. For this reason it is to their interest to bestir themselves with a view to weeding out this element. It is not neeessary to wait for an occurrence like that of Sunday night to point out each individual case, as the evidence is to be had much sooner and more directly. If the honorable and straightforward men on the force desiro to be free from the odium which inevitably attaches to a corrupt aud debased policeman and put themselves in a position to receive the credit due thew for effectual work, the way is open to them. ‘The sister of the injured woman arrived here last evening from Springfield, 1., where she keeps & louse of prostitution. The woman bud promised to talk freely about the matter when her sister came, and, accord- ingly, was questioned regarding the shoot- ing by that relative. The question was asked whether or not st.e did the shooting, iNo, s0 help me God, I didu’t,” was tho positive unswer. ‘“Nell, who did " don’t kuow," sponse. It has since transpired that the woman made the same solemn assertion to Father McMenamy, who has called to see the \lvnmln three times since the bullet laid her oW, It is intimated that there are several inter- esting facts in connection with the case which have not yet been made public, and Tue Bee Is in possession of sowe of them, which will be given later. It is said that an attempt is being made to hush up the matter and_give the public a false wmpression re- gnrdmf the actual condition of uffairs, but several foatures have developed that will permit of no white washing. lyemnorlllll dis- closures have been made that will surprise the good people of Council Bluffs when they find how matters have been going. The end of Lthe matter is not yet. e The Ogden House Changes Hauds. A change took place in the management of the Ogden house yesterday afteruoon, and Mr. W. 8. Dooley, one of the proprictors of the buildiog, will henceforth look after the comfort of the guests, as the hotel will not be was the reluctant re- closed, and few changes will be made. The hotol taken possession of by Deputy Sherift O'Connor on a writ of attachment, but turned over the property to Mr. Dooley, ‘who gave a suMcient bond. Mr. Doole was asked for a statement rogard- ing the situation. Said he: “We hated ~ to make this move, but we had to in justice to ourselves. The hotel has not been paying us anything, for Mr, Ktter has not paid the rent since the first of July. In fact, he only paid two month’s rent. _ When I went east on the 4th of July I told Mr. Etter that he must not run outside bills, and that it he could not pay the rent it would be all right, if he would only o on and work up business 8o that the house waould pay. Things went on for a few weeks, but about the 1th of August creditors began to push, and he assigned a lot of boarders’ bills to' them and was about to mako an assignment to Mr. Hulett, when I heard how the matter stood and hurried back. I knew that Mr, Hulett could mot run the house, for he had tried it once, and I was satisfied that if he took it the house might just as well shut down at once. Matters were finally patched up and went on_with a few changes. 1 told Mr. Etter that somebody was getting away with the receipts, but mat- ters went on until a month ago, when 1 couldn’t stand it any longer, and I told Mr. Etter that I would puv in @ cashier, who would see to paying all bills, During the last month we have pald expenses, paid rent and a little besides, although our trade has been about the same as bofore, yet before that timo the house in some way was sinking from $1,000 to $1,200 a month, Since the change was made Mr. Etter has not tried to run the house, but has been out of sorts, and I finally concluded to Dut a stop 10 it, 80 I had the sheriff take pos~ session for rent. We have tried to got along without running the house ourselves, but I sce we must come to it. Iam not anold liotel man, but T can run_tho houso when I haye to, and we will go on_as before, except a little better than usual. We will serve sup- per to-night, and everything will continue to move without any inconvenience to our ruests.’ s - Swanson Music C Broadway. - H.

Sl THE PRICE OF BEALSKINS, It Will Not Be Higher This Year TFhan Last. ‘‘No; the price of sealskins will not be appreciably higher this year than last. Tn spite of the numerous seizures by the revenue cutters in Behring sea, the quantity brought to market will be fully equal to that of a year ago. Pric will be firm. Last year sealskins rose 20 per cent. This” year the increase will be maintained.” This was the statement of Mr. Rus- sals, the oldest and largest aealer in furs in the country, to the New York correspondent of the St. Louis Post- Mr. Russak makes a spec nd is a leading author- ity in the trade. The Astors went out of the fur trade many yearsago, and the successors of the great firm of A, T. Stewart are no longer factors in the maritet. The trade, which represents al of 120,000,000 in the entire fof which 1s probably in seals—has been practically revolu- tionized within the past ten or twelve years. Since the devel- opment of the vast retail caruvans in the large Ameri- can cities, tmilar to those of France and England, the leading retailers have dipped into_the wholesale trade anc now the seal market may be said to be about evenly divided between the wholesaler and the shopkeeper. Mill- ions of skius are taken every season and many thousands of tons of shipping are used in their capture. Since steamer have gone into the seal fisheries, the teh has greatly inerensed. The sea- son lasts from the 1Ist of March to the close of May, between which dates the different varieties, in- cluding the harp seal, the hooded seal, the square-flipper and the dotart, are taken, the two last being the most valuable. The true fur L is the northern ursine, or sea bear, whick abounds in the Pribyloff Islands in Behring Sea. A great rendezvous is St. Paul’s and St. George's Islands, whei the roolkeries are ymetimes known to harbor several millions at ‘a time. During this month and the next they are practically valueless, as they are then shedding their fur. The seal- skin trade is practically controlled, as far as the east 18 concerned, by four men, although there are probably ~ mo less than a hundred large dealers, wholesale and retail, engaged actively in it. The general opinion in the irvade is that no advance will ve made in prices this season and that the ladi will be able to purchase their winter wrappings at the prices that prevailed a year ago. In spite of the fact that fashion has de- creed that the bustle must go, the seal- skin clonks and jackets assigned for 1590 have all been made with a view to fitting the bustle. The resultis that the designers and manufacturers every- where find themselves compelled to alter their goods to conform to the new style. e How to e a Cold, Many years constant use and the ox- perience of thousands of persons of all ages, has fully demonstrated that there 18 nothing better for a severe cold than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It acts in perfect harmony with nature, re- lieves the lungs, liquefies the tough tenacious mucus, making 1t easier to expectorate, and restores the system to a strong and healthy condition, More Opi uggling. The order from the treasury abolish- ing the stamps on opium boxes, issued lust year, has been productive of much harm in San Francisco. 'Lhe stock of smuggled opium has vastly increased, large stocks having been brought in from Mexico, from British Columbia and other places to which it had been smug- gled while the stamp restriction was still in force in Califorhia. Fully a mil- lion dollars’ worth of the drug has been sold in San Francisco within the last eight months, nnd the smugglers have cut the price down below what the le- gitimately imported article can be pro- fitably soid for. The collector of the port declaves that a stamp so well made that it cannot be counterfeited should be put on again at once. e A Novel Schewme, The lumberwen on the Susquebanna above Williamsport have adopted n novel method to get theiv stranded logs 10 the sawmiils, They build temporary dams at convenient piaces, which bucks the water up high enough to float the stranded timber, and the pent-up water being suddenly released the lfigs are carried down into the current. This maunner of makiog artiticial freshets is new in that region, They velieve the lumbermen of great expense in getting the logs to mulkiul, and keep the saw- mills active throughout the upper Sus- Quebanna, SHEEP AREAGAIN IN FAVOR, Owners of Nifeflor Breeds at a ; Great Dieadvantage. IMPROVED CATTLE. -~ Thoe Experiencg of a Nebraska Man With Them—Scientific Fertit- 1zing—H(iose In Calves ~lowa ang Nebraska. PROLIFIC Sheep-Rearing Popular Aginn. Those who bhave so persistently in- sisted during the past few years that there was ‘“‘alion in the way” of the sheep husbandman can find food for profitable reflection in the general in- terest manifested in the show-rings at a majority of the important fairs of the present season; while the number and character of animals shown, the sales offectod, the prices obtained, and the eneral satisfactory outlook may por- tend an eclipse to the reputation for prophoetic foresight of the few men who mistook depression for destruction, none are likely to be found unwilling to see and hail with satisfaction the 1m- proved prospects for profitable returns for intelligent flock management, Some of the great fairs have had greater numbers of sheep in the pens in past yoea but 1t is quite ascertain that none of them have ever had better ani- mals, says the Breeders’ Gazette. This fact was especially apparent in the classes for medium and long-wool breeds, and only less so in the fine-wool class as regards numbers of animals on view—a disparity readily accounted for by vecent increased attention to the production of meat in connection with the growth of profitable fleeces. All of which is satisfactory. Not by any means that every phase of the situation among sheep owners is all that could be de- sived, but because there seems fair sa ing ahead for every one of them who is unembarrassed by other considerations than the breeding and management of good sheep; and it seems reasona- ble to assume that in view of re- cent experiences and the recent }»lundin s of the Gazette and other viendly advisers, no flock owner will continue in the race with other than good animals. The men with inferior animals are self-handicapped. Those who are without the best animals of their favorite type are not likely to find a more favorable time than the present for securing them. Prices for really meritorious sheep are now low—as low as they ever will be—lower than they veally should be in justice to the men who persisted in improving their flocks “through evil well as through good report.”’ Those who caunot realize that the time for mourning over the condition of our sheep husbandry has past, and that the day and opportunity for profitable flock management has come, had as well stand asidé’. They are likely to be run over by the procession of live and determined men who propose to secure success by deserving it—who set about adjusting their business to the newer dispensation while others were waiting for the resurrection of a dead past. Prolific Improved Cattle, We hear it charged at times, says the editor of the Towa Homestead, that im- proved cattle are shy breeders. * While t is true that gome of them are, just as are some gradesand serubs, and that the tendency to shy breeding runs n fami- lies, our ‘experience has been that on the average our short horns are even more prolific than our grades. We have on one of the Homestead farms had three pairs of twins from high bred short horn cows, dropped in a little over a year. In eight years’ handling of grades, on the same farm, there has been but one pair of twins. One of these cases of twins was from a very fine bred Young Mary, twelve years old, that has now four living calves under twenty-s:ven months old. An- other s from a Miss Ramsden, ten years old, and anothev from her daugh- ter, seven years old. We had ade spised Seventeen that dropped a calf November 5, 1885, another September 1886, another July, 1886, another May, 1888, drowned | within two weeks of calving, March, 1 and was thirteen years old when she died. Her calf of July, 1887, had a call early in 1880, We might mention a good many ases of rapid multipiication of Shori- ns and other improved breeds, both in our own herds and those of other breede We have said enough to show that the vice of shy breeding does not depend on breed, but on other con- sideraticns altog As a rule good milke are prol breeders, while cows with a masculine look are shy and unprofituble breeder: The first con- sideration in a cow is that she should be a cow, and have the feminine, motherly look and the wide flank that indicates maternity, and not the tucked, trim ap- pearance of the typical show heifer. “Hoose” i Calves. The state veterinarian of Missouri re- cently addressed the following letter to the secretary of tho state board of agri- culture of that state: T desire to inform the public through our board that the so-called **hoose’ in calves (parisitic hrouchitis) is due to a fine white thread-like worm that can casily be found in the bronchial (air) tubes after death and even in the mat- ter in the throat or mouth after cough- - ing. The disease is propagated by the eggs of this filaria which are deposited on the ground, etc., by the affected calves, and every year a new crop of diseased calves may be the result on ed pastures or lands, symptoms of a most prominent character or loss of flesh (nearly like in pining or consumption), cough of a more or less pronounced ¢haracter, somelimes in fit li{ or paroxysm, frothy matter at the mouth, and finally marked weak- ness. Calves or young ¢attle ave usually the ouly great sufferers, Death oceurs in about 20 per cent of those affected, after a month or two of trouble. After death the lungs will be found partly darkened, partly solidified and partly filled with mucus containing fine white worms rolled in little balls or otherwise disposed, The trachen (windpipe) at its junction with the lungs will furnish many as a rule, The lungs are not or are very seldom increased in size. The; is no analogy with contagious pleuro- pueumonia. The treatment consists in tonics—say a teaspoonful of carbonate of iron in linseed meal twi hreo times daily to each unimal. 'Tokill the purasites in the lungs is difficult. Sulphurous acid gas may accomplish it, at least purtly, To produce this gas and make the affected animals inhale it, burn sul- phur, pinch by pinch, on coals in a metal busin or shovel (not soldered) placed in a closed box-stall or stable 1n the midst of the subjects. A few pinches of sulphur thus burned will s00n generate the gas that the animals will inhale and they will soon cough. They should not be left in such atmos- phere longer than five to ten minutes, or less, if coughing is severe. Watch closely to avoid suffocating, Repeat ik " 1889 twice weckly, Remove all healthy cattle from where the disense started. I givo these instructions in view of the numerous queries sent me on the subject. ““Come Back to Towa." Towa State Register: All you good people who have gone away from Iowa seeking your fortanes along the Pacific, in the dry lati- tudes, or along the Klorida everglades, in Oklahoma, 1 the northwest, come back. Towa is booming, everything is great. Como back, we have enough and to spare. You have had hard times, you have lost money, you have lost time, you are sick and tired of wandering. We will have pumpkin pies, and spare ribs, and corn cakes, and chops, and honey, and tea biscuit, and _roasts and boils and fries and whon Governor Larrabee and Judge Hubbard have their calf slaughter- g and grand juvilee picnic we will have a big time generally, Jome back and see how the blue grass lias spread over lawn, highway and meadow. Come and see our corn crops, and haystacks, and the improvements of all kinds of stock since you left. You wiil be welcome. There ismore in fowa of everything good than you have ever seen or heard of. Bring back the little folks and put them in school - there is room.

McCoox, To the Edi- tor of T I have traveled nearly one thousand miles in Towa the past s weeks, and failed to find the ‘‘boom- ing:” but on the other hand hundreds of farmers there are ready to come to Nebraska if they could sell there. Booming? What is booming? Very few farms changing hands, and as to city property, I was offered, in the last thirty days, o nice lot, with n good two- room house, well finished, and other out. buildings, good well, two and a haif blocks east of the new state house, on Walnut street, in Des Moines, for $9000. Another fine lot near, with a house of five large rooms, and barn 16x28 on it, was offered for $1,200. Two lots, fine ones, in Dexter, Dallas county, In., one block feom the business part of town, fenced, house of six rooms, bearing fruit trees, well, small barn, ete., were offered for $900. In the Des Moines market patent flour is worth $2.40 per cwt., wheat 60c per bushel, corn 1 oats 16c, potatoes 20c to 25e, turnips 25 hay $4.50 per ton, eggs l5e, butter, country roll, 6c to f¢c, and in McCook, Red Willow county, Neb., patent flour is worth $2.40 per cwi., wheat 50c per bushel, corn 16e, oats 15¢, potatoes 20¢, turnips 20c, hay $4 per ton, eggs 16¢, butter. country roll, 15¢, ete. Spring wheat grown in Nebraska is of better quality and yields more per acre than in Towa; and the same is true of grain and vegetables. While crops there are grown on land worth $20 to per acre, with taxos at $20 to %35 per quarter, as good crops are grown in Red Willow county, Nebraska, on land worth $6 to $12 per acre, with taxes at $6 to $10 per quarter, and the county out of debt. I farmed twenty-eight years in Towaand nine here, and have no inclination or desire to come back to Towa to live, as I can raise more here to the acre than there, and with less labor, We have more than we can use, and don’t have to wait for a governor or judge to kill a calf to have a good time. We want one thousand able-bodied Towa farmers with large families to come to Red Willow county to enjoy with us the many good things we have. Come where you can geta farm of good, rich soil for $6 to $10 per acre that will grow as large crops as any soil in lowa. The Register says: ‘‘There is more in Town of everything good, than you have ever seen or heard of.” Ifhe means the products of the farm, I say I attended the Towa state fair this fali, and also the Nebraska state fair. The farm produce shown at our state fair was better, and more than twice as much of itasat the Towa fair. The finest fruits T ever saw were on exhibition at the late state fair, and we have as fine hrses, cattle. hogs, sheep and poultry, and as finely developed men,and pretty, cheeked women, who are good cooks, asany state in the union, and if we should go back, and tell Father Clarkson the whole trath as to the won- derful capabilities of Nebraska, he would not believe the half of it. Corn, grown in_this county this son, and exhibited at the late state roof Illi- nois, nt Peopin, was awarded second premium on best display and greatest ario Quit renting and come out heve and geta home of your own, while lund is cheap. You will be more independent, and make better farmers, surrounded with the comforts of your own fiveside. Come to Nebraska, where you can e better wheat, sounder corn, finer vege- tables, and enjoy better health. You will be welcome. Bring th good women; we want them to enjoy the good things with us, and be happy. There is cenough and to spare, and plenty of room. And wo arc more than willing for toverfed Town people to heur compari- sons,” © Come, and we will do thee good. WILLIAM COLEMAN. L i Advice to Mothers.
