W. Scott, for the murder of his mis- tress, Lottie Leland, was concluded before Judge Aylesworth yesterday, and resulted in an acquittal of the prisoner. The lower court has declared the Delief that Scott is not guilty of the crime charged, buv this declaration does not and can .not restore the subject of such unenviable noteriety to the position which he held in private life and in ho estimation of the public before the cow- mission of the tragedy which robbed a woman of the town of her life, The in- effaceable stain of his connection and associa- tion with the woman will still attach to bim, and it there yet remaius in him the slightest particle of shime, the public knowledge of his dishonor may be Lo him a more severe pun- lll;lmam. than any that the law could possibly inflict, 'hat there will be no further logal prose- cution of the case is by no weans cortain, as the county attoroey states that the case will be laid before the next grand jury, and if lhc{ seo fit 1o investizate it or to return an indictment against the man on any of the testimony already introduced or any new ovidence that will be prosented, a vigorous prosecution in the district court will follow, The refusal of the judge of the oriminal court to bind Scott over to the grand jury WES @ surprise Lo wany. yet not to the attor- neys and others familla= with the vase, who realized how little reul evidence was to be bad on which to attempt to prove the pris- oner's guilt, The examination was commenced at 10 o'clock, I'he witnesses introduced wero Hattie Turner, Daisy Robinson, Hazel Gray, Blanche Clifton, innie Sveathe, Drs, Green, Lacy and Macrae. No new- eviience was elicited, gnd in the afterncon the de- fendant was placed upon the stand in his own behalf, His story has already appeared in these columns and does not need repeti- tiom in full. He denied that Lo opened the gun until Le reached the bottom of the stairs aod did not then extract apy louded cartridges, as there were none in the gun. He admitted that he was in the room, baving goné there with the deceased. Hud removed his coat aund vest and given the daceased ‘tywo dol and @& haif in movey, when sho {luk.d up the gun and emptiod It. When she shot herself she was staudiog near him, and as she feli thegun dro) on his foot. He picked it up and burried down stairs. He explaiued tho uoke sent by him to the deceased, requesting an interview on the nizht of the shooting, and asking her to leave with him. He stated that the woman was tired living at the Clover bagnio, and wanted him to get hor a boarding vlace at & Mrs, Wondrufl's, near Strectsville, and wanted to see hor on the fatal night to tell her about it, and get her o leave with him, The colored girl testified that she had heard Scott and the deceased anarrel be- causo the latter desired to have nothing more to do with him and’ ‘take up” with some one clse, ‘There was practically no further evidence introduced, and the case was submitted, In ruling upon the case, the court remarked: *“The evidence submitted 18 not sufficient to warrant holding the defendant to the graud jury on the ecrime charged. I don's suppose there is any doubt but that it would do him good to be hung for a while for other acts of which he is evidently guilty; but there is nothing to-show that he was con- cerned M the shooting. There is un entire lack of motive o compel him to kill the woman; in fact, from the evidence, I am led to velieve that he had a strong motive o t her to live. He is not charged with other crimes than murdor, and the court can not hold him for that, on the evidence that has been introduced for that purpose.’” Scott's wife and _chila, with a few lady friends and the father of the defendant, were in the court room during the trial. When the defendant was callea to the stand the ladics, at the suggestion of Colonel D. B. Daitey, defendant’s counsel, withdretv from the room, and remained wway while his testimony was being given. In discussing the matter, after the hearing was concluded, the prosecuting attorney stated that thero was something very strange about the case, innsmuch as several of the witnesses had forgotten so much in 80 short a tune, giving rise to the belief that certain prossure had been brought to bear, Daring the examination of Ofiicer Fowler, it devoloped that'a stranger, who had visited tho house a few hours before the tragedy, had threateoed to return and make the in- mates ‘‘see stars.” When asked what kind of stars wero roferred to, the witness was at a 10ss for an answer. Tho attorney hazarded the opinion that a policeman must have been weant, as police stars were more frevuent than any other about that mansion de joie, if all reports were to be beheved. The witness, Blanche Ciifton, who was very intimate with the deceased, testified that on the Thursday night preceding the zedy she was with the iatter at the road- kouse ball on low Broadway. 1t will be remembered that ex-OfMeer Joselyn got into trouble through beinyr at this ball, as ho was charged with taking home a prostitute from that festive gathering. His denial of this is already a matter of record. The witness 2d regarding this mater, and stated 0 wera six parties in, the hack re- turning to the city. These parties, sho said, Were herself, the deceased, an Omaha pros- titute, ex-Oficer Joselyn, “Tiv? Willis, Omana's skillful ball dosser, and another blooded youth from the city ncross the river, Her story is so directly contradictory to Joselyn’s, that it 1s probable that the ex- officer will take steps to produce satisfactory proof as to just what happened on that memorable night. e, GRALN oy Gigantic sale at the Boston Store, Council Bluffs, In addition to the great bargains of- fered at the gigantic sale of the Boston will bo added to-day and the balance of this week: 100 dozen English satteen corsets 62c & pair, worth §1.00, In dress goods 5,000 yards Irench mixed tricots 17c a yard, worth™ 83c; 8,600 yards finest imported Scotch zephyr ns 19¢ a yard, worth .

There are four cars of “I”’ rails and one of girder rails. There is an injunction 11 pending to restrain the company from using the **T" rails on certain portions of Fifth avenue, and the city council passed a reso- lution declaring their use within the city limits a nuisance. Ia discussing this pomt , an experienced street railway essed his views as follows: " rail is the only kind to use on an unpaved street, and if the citizens would look into the matter they could not fuil to secit. A girder rail is all right on paved streets; in fact, nothing else will do, and an exawmination will convinca anyone why this isso. The girder rail is really set up on stilts to allow of plank and paving being laid inside the tracks, but the *I? rail only rises a very little above the tie. It is impossible to make a crossing stay in place across girder rails on unpaveda streets, as there is 80 much dirt under them that they are always settling, Another thing, the ties under the rails aro only two feet eight inches apart, which holds the dirt solid, but under tho girder rails they are four feet, and thoe road bed would get no support. “With a T rail, the proper thing to do is to require the company to run a plank along the outside of the rails, in the same manner as the Manawa motor has done for two or three blocks on South Ninth street, This allows teams to cross readily, but it can not be dono with a girder rail. A ‘1" rail should be so laid that it will coms but little above the surface of the strect, just enough to allow of successfully ruuning a snow plow. Iim- agine that 1f peovle only uuderstood the werits of the two rails they would not want a girder rail ona dirt street.” e Wanted, immediately, three experienced kuitters on power machines at the Council Bluffs Knitting works.

This is & day of autograph hunters. The epidemic agsumes various forms. Some have the eraze for postal albums, One lady of my adquaintance has an al- bum of several handred postals from people she admits' she never saw and never expects to see. Another rage is the quilt nctograpll, but few people at the present time have the temerity to aspire for the crazy quilt. For my part, I have not yet been able to decide whether I like them or not. I have seen so many witched and bewitched into what was originally intended to be a thing of beauty, but what really ap- peared more the production of the weakened brain of some poor wsthotic lunatic. In fact, I never see a cruzy quilt without a vivid childhood re- membrance of a kaleidoscopic view I once had after falling from a high swing. Autograph quilts containing a block from each state and territory in the Union are also in vogue. My ideaof an autograph quilt is entirely different, and it is original witu myself.

Mnrs. . A. WARN East Saginaw, M For a Thanksgiving Dinner, The following three receipts for a Thanksgiving dinner are coutributed by Mrs. Iliza R. Parker to the current Ladies’ Home journal: Thanksgiving Buns.—Boil a little saf- fron in sufficient water to cover, strain and cool. Rub halfa pound of fresh but- ter 1to a pound of sifted flour,and make into a paste with four well beaten eggs, and cover it with a cloth. Set in a warm place to rise. 'When light, mix into it & quarter of a pound of sugar, o ed nutmeg and two spoonfuls of away seeds. Roll out the dough, di- vide into cakes. Strew with caraway comfits, and bake in flat tins, Pumpkin Pie.—Take a pint of pump- Kkin after being stewed and press through a collander. Melt in half a pint of warm milk, a quarter of a pound of but- ter, and the same quantity of sugar,stir- ring them well together. Beut eight eggs very light, and add them grad- ually to the other ingredients. Stirn a wine-glass of rose water, r large tou- spoonful of powdered mace and cinua- mon mixed and a grated nutmeg. Put on pastry and bake, Thanksgiving Pudding—Grate all the crumbs of a stale loaf of bread, boil a quart of mlk, and pour it, boiling hot, over the gratedd bread: cover it and let it steep for an hour, then set to cool. Prepare halt pound of currants, washed ond dried, half a pound of stoned raisins, and a quarter of pound of citron cut in slips; add two grated nutmegs, a teasnoontal of mace and cin- namon powdered together. Mix half a pound of load sugar with half a pound of butter. with the bread and milk, add a glass of currant jelly and a glass of cid Beat eight oggs very light, and stic into the mixture, Add by degrees the raisins and- currants, dredged with flour, and stir very hard. Put in a buttered pudding dish, and bake two hours. Iat with pudding sauce. ; h. Silhoucttes on Leaves. Every now and then some new idea in fancy or ornamental work to occupy the attention of ladies is brought out, and latest is the developing of silhoucttes on leuves. A lady who has been en- guged in making dark pictures, when spoken to on the subject, : The leaves upon which the best sil- houette is made, are those of the maple, oak, elm or lime tree; it is nec- essary to pick out fresh green ones, not touchied by any nsect, and wholly pro- portioned to the chosen design. First you cut out of paper (the thicker the better) the figure you have selected; place it on the center of the leaf, and pressing down with the thumb and fore finger, rub very thoroughly with a stiff brush the exposed part of the leal, being careful not to let the paper move from its original position on the leaf. To guard against this the design may be pasted on with starch or flour paste, but, if possible, it is best to do without this aid, as 1 removing the design the leaf may very easily be torn, nnd, even if it be not, any foreign matter brought in close contact with the surface of the leaf will spoil its beauty, if not cause it to wither, Somo suggest that the leaves be placed in cold water for a few hours, but this is unnecessary if the leaves have been carefully chosen and have not begun to wither. The rubbing with the brush removes the matter of which the leaf is composed and leaves only a sort of network of fine veins, The parts of the leaf covered by the paper design are left in their original condition, and in this way is obtained an effective, un= olished silhouette, standing out in re- ief on a semi-transparent ground, Be- ginners should choose the most simple figures, such as heads of animals, flow- ers or birds, and then gradually pass to more difficult ones. Sometimes good pictures, views of buildings and coun- try scenes are artistically reproduced on leavas by this method, which is not in the least a difficult one, but oply re- quires a little dexterity and patience. Uphol ry at Home, The Shaker rockers, as they are most mmproperly callgd, . which we buy for 90 cents a piece and use for one summer upon the piazia and throwaway because of broken splints and decrepit rockers, says a writer in the American agricul- turist, can be sgcdesssully treated by the home worker and made to fill an important purt in house furnishing. ne of the dld, chairs thus trans- formed and promoted to an honored place in the sitting room was deprived of its broken down rockers and the badly damaged splints which had made the seats, A ngw seat was made by sewing strong ' duck across the bars which had held the splints. A loose cushion stuffed with hair was made of ticking and tacked down upon the duck, The back, which was ineeniously made uncomfortable .by wooden slats, was also supplied witha huir cushion, tacked down in many places, and well secured to the slats. Across the top of this cushion was sewed one of the brund steels used as dress extenders; without this support the cushion would sag in the middle after the fash- ion of most home-made upholstering. The outer cover, which made the chair beautiful, was mude of pale blue suteen, ornamented with Edelweiss fNowers scattered on full face without either stoms or foilage. The wooly surface of the Alpine snow flower was well imitated by cutting the petals from cream white felt or broad- cloth and fastening them down with white silk in outline stitch. The centr must be worked with olive silk in French knots. Ifa pattern for the Edolweiss cannot easily be procured, dogwood blossoms applied in the same way, and of the same waterial, would be very pretty in their place, ¥or the Complexion. To improve the complexion mix half an ounce of powdered borax, one ounce of glycerine and one quart of camphor water., Wuash the face with this night and morning; let dry on the face, thon wash off. Another good face wash is made of a wine-glass full of lemon juice, one pint of rain water and a tew drops of attar of chapped ekin, mix two drachms of oxide of zine with two ounces of lard. This is also an excellent salve for sores. bl SAM JONES, EVANGELIST, How He Drove Satan Out of an Ola Virginia Town. ‘When I came, some two weeks ago, to this flourishing town—overlooked Ly the Blue Ridge and well built up (Rome-like) on its seven hills—the ma- jority of its 20,000 people seomed to talk of nothing but the advent of Sam Jones and his sayings and doings, past and progpective, writes a correspondent of the New York World from Lynchburg, Va. Well, ton days have passed and Sam Jones has been nere, electrified the whole town—"‘turned it upside down,” one old lady said—and departed. Thoe people hud had the most curious ideas about Sam. ‘T'he children thought he was a sort of n one-man circus. Two youngsters, who accompanied me on my first trip to this immense tobacco ware- house where Sam held forth to scme 5,000 people, were bitterly disappointed to see no animals. *“*There’s not even a ,? said one, fretfu “What's he going to do, anyhow?” asked the oth *‘Drive the devil out of town.” returned the little one, “I'd like to see him do it. Let me get up on abench.” He got un and gazed at Sam with so much wonder in_his small face that the people around shook with sup- pressed lnughter. There is not much evidence of power in the thin, wiry frame of this famous evangelist from Georgia, but his brain power is uncommon, his manners mag- netic, und he has come nearer to per- forming the feat of dislodging Satan from this spot of the eartn than any- one here ever dreamed wus possible, Here are the statistics: Seven hundred conversions, $8,000 raised for the Young Men’s Christian association, at whose request he came; $3.000 for the “Woman’s Training School for South- ern Women,” and $254.88 for the Or- phans’ Home in Georgia. These sums do not 1nclude the necessary expenses of the campaign. At the lirst meecting the collection skets were returned with barely #16. m shook his head and said, gravely “Lhave always heard that Lynchburg was the richest town for its o in the country, und [ see it means to stay so.” Soon afterward he was heard recom- mending his sermon cailed *Quit Your Meanness,” as his best; and the young man who was selling his book at the door (**on his own hook,” Sam took care to inform us) had a great run on the au- thor’s favorite volume, and their later contributions show that it enlarged their minds Jam Jones knows human nature too well to rouse the antagonism of his hearers by bellowing at them, His clear, sweet voice is as soft, and at times almost as low, as a woman’s; yet it was distinetly heard throughout the large audience. IHe uses plain English—calls ‘«a spade a spade”’—and does not hesi- tate tosay a man isa liar and a hypo- crite 1f he has good proof that such is the case,and he gives his scriptural authority for doing so. He was so se- vere on ‘‘the beastly old rumsellers and drinke that there was dynamite for the bold speaker. Sam heard of it (as he seemed to hear of every rumorabout himself) and said calmly that he ‘‘was not at all afraid of being killed; that a man who really believed in heaven ought not to fear being sent there at short notice.” Then he told us how dynamite had been placed in his stable in Georgia, and a warning letter sent to his house advising him to get out of his town as quickly as possible. *‘I con- sulted my wife,” he continued, *‘told her I wouldn’t budge a step for my own sake, but it might be my duty to go for hor’s.” “Never,” she replied; ‘'stay where duty calls you, Sam,and if I must die before my time I would just as soon g0 1o heaven by the dynamite route as any other.” Welll Such scenes as took place in this town during nis_stny have rarely been equalled. Hardened,wicked men, whom their neighbors had handed over to Satan long ago as his lawful proy, suddenly awakened tothe fact that they had immortal souls. Some of them were prominent, wealthy ecitizens—others poor, hard-working men: but faces wore the same earn de- termined look as they walked side by side up to Sam and asked him to pray for their salvation, while all arourd were as quiet as death. The tears rolled down the evangelist’s cheeks as he grasoed their hands, and, after tak- ing their names, referred them for in- struction to the pastors of the various churches, who stood behind on the platform. There was no visible excitement, no disorder nor confusion of any kind in the immense audience, The music was excellent. Prof. Excell, the leador of his choir, and Rev. Mr. Culpeper, S assistant, roceived high praise from the audience. At the close of the meetings nearly every ministor in the city spoko for a minute or more in hearty com- mendation of the work. Sam compli- mented the press for its clear reports of his sermons. He aiso had akind word for the ushers, cordial thanks for the ministers, and spoke feelingly of his attuchment for the people of the town, though he confessed that he had spoken “many hard words” to them, but that he had felt it was “his duty to lead them around by Mount Sinai before he planted their feet on Mount Calvary.” Ll Jolonel Ingersoli's View of Divorce. The good home is the unit of the good government, writes Ingersoll in the North American Review. The hearthstone is the corner-stone of civil- ization. ty is not interested in the proservation of hateful homes, of homes where husbands and wives are selfish, cold and cruel, It is not to the interest of society that good women should be enslaved, that they should live iu fear, or that they should become mothers by husbands whom they hate. Homes should be filled with kind and generous fathers, with true and loving mothers; and when they arve so filled, the world will be civilized, Intel gence will rock the cradle; justice will sit in the courts; wisdom in the legisla- tive halls, and above all and over all, like the dome of heaven, will be the spirit of liberty. Although marriage is the most important and the most sacred contract that human beings can malie, still when that contract has been violated, courts should have the power to declare it null and void upon such conditions as may be just. Asa rule, the woman dowers her husband with her youth, her beauty, her love—with all she has; and from “this contract cer tainly the husband should never be released, unless the wife, has broken the conditions of that contract.
