Ho said he would tuke $10 for it, but I guess he would bave taken even less than that. It was an old rattle trap, and wasn't much, I think that he got some trade for some olen stock, and when he drove into town with the horses he stolo from Hur- rison county he had this old buggy. Ho dis. sed of the horses, and the old buggy still stood tnere. Neal also wanted me to cash & check for him, but I wouldn't have aaythin to do with him for ho was too crooked. ‘When Sheriff Garrison took Neal away ho examined this old buggy but couldn’t place it, and no one ever claimed it, It was in the way and a nuisance, uud as folks came run- ning to me about the buggy 1 told several of the boys that I didn't care if anyone should steal the thing, if I didn't sce them do it. Some one took me at my word and the buggy was stolen, Where it went to Inever knew, but 1t was rolled away one mght.

In the district court yesterday the t!me ‘was spent in empanelling a jury in the case of the State vs Rev. D. M. Helmick. Tho defendant is the pastor of the Methodist church of Neola. He has been quite active in attempting to enforce the prohibition law, and among those who have been opposed to bim io this has been looked upon as so much of & cold water enthusiass as to be pe- culiarly obnoxious. On this account he had been subjected to numerous anmoyauces, aud on one or two occasions a gaong of hoodlums egged lis house, and in similar wuys made life & burden to him. Oune pight last August he was returning from some meetiug, when, driving iuto the lane leading to his barn, he wnoticed or heard someono about his yard. He called out, and a8 8 Nldlflnle a missile hit hiw, which sub- sequently proved to bo an egg. . He drew a revolver and fired at random. The shot bi and killed o young man vamed E. E. Palmer. 1t is for this killing that he is now on trial, * ‘t'he prosecution will attempt to show that the killing wus not justifiable. The defense will be that of self-defense. It scews con- ceded that & gang of fellows, of whom P mer wus oue, bad formed sowe sortof a scheme to attack the preacher ou bis retura home, and for this purpose wers hiding in | man, but the mu and about the barn. The admission will probably go no furthier than to the offect that the purpose was merely to annoy him with no intent to do even great bodily harm. The state will attempt to show that thers was some feeling on the part of the preachor against Palmer, and that the preacher had gone out of his way to interfero with Pul- mer's wooing of the girl who, despite the preacher’s warning, became Mrs. Palmer. The most bitter sentiment against Rev. Mr. Helmick, however, seems to be fostered by the friends of the deceased and by the saloon element. The defense scoms confident that its side will loom up so strongly As to insure an acquittal. 1t will be shown that the minister had reason to believe that an attack was being made upon_him, and_that ks life was in danger. The fact that it was on his own premises, that it was 80 dark he could not distinguish who was hanging about his barn, that he fired more to frighten them away than with any intent of hitting anyone, and that the party shot was at the time engaged in an unlawful conspivacy agaiost him, will be dwelt upon strongly. “The day was spent in questioning proposed jurors as to their newspaper reading, their prejudices for or against prohibition, their church aftiliations, their “conncotion with secret societies, their political aflinities and their acquaintance in und _about Neola It was time for the day's adjournment before the twelve wero agreed upon, Since the killing of Palmer Rey. Mr. Hel- mick has been out on bonds, Ho has not been actively engaged in preaching, the church officials showing their confidence in him by reappointing hin to the Neola church, bat advising that he shall not preach until this cloud is removed.

When the polls closed at 6 o’clock last evening the battle of the ballots was decided, and the supporters of the citizens' ticket went bome rejoicing. They had achieved a signal victory, and the “ring” was downed most effectually. ‘The fight began in earnest as soon as the polls were opened in the morning, and con- tinued with little interruption 1n ail the wards until the towa clock struck 6. The great fight was in the Second ward, and the maiu issue was Bellinger and anti-Bellinger, although there was asharp conteston the whole ticket. There was a heavy vote polled, and the issue was one worthy of it. The fight in the Frst ward was a hot one, and a large vote was polled. Jennings, the democratic nominee for ward alderman, was scratched badiy, and ran behind his ticket. The boodlers tried to get in their work in this ward durine the afternoon, but the at- tewpt was quickly sat down upon by the ar- rest of one Z. Hughes, who was charged ‘with receiving money, and of J, Herala, who was charged with bribing him, Hughes was taken before Justice Harnett, who fixed his bond at €500. Haghes could not raise the amount and he was sent to the county jail. He will have a hearing tomor- row. Herald was arrested, but was re~ leased on bail. The Second ward was the boodlers’ strong- hold, and four arrests were made at the polis before 2 o'clock. 'Fhe tirst was Lewis Criss, who was charged with receiving stolen money. C. A. Sandford was then hauled in for illegal voting, and George Fields was shortly afterwards pulled in for receiving money for his vote. Charles W. Mitchell was arrested on a werrant sworn out beforo Justice Barrett, and was held in the sum of 8500 for bribery. His bond was furnished by Dan Carrigg, and Mitchell was released. The fight in the Second ward waxed very hot until nearly 3 o'clock, when Carrigg practically gave up the fight. He conceded the election of the citizens' ticket, but hung ont for Bellinger for nearly an hour longer, when he expressed the belief that even the election of Wind was probable. He declared that it was like throwing money in the fire 10-apond-any more to elect Bellinger or to defeat the citizens' ticket. Lacy worked hard in this ward all day to aefeat Bellinger, taking barely enough time to go over to the Third ward and cast his ballot. ‘The scene about the volis was inclined to be stormy at times, but the presence of sev- eral special policemen - servea to keep order. One rupture occurred just in front of the police station during ‘the forenoon, when “Dandy” Duno, who runs a saloon just east of the Revere house, drew a gun on R. B. Westcott, city editor of the Noupareil, and announced his willingness to perforate the anatomy of the newspaper man. He wus vlaced under arrest and chargea with car- rying concealed woapons., Ho was released on bonds ana then retaliated by having Westcott arrested for disturbing the peace. He also gave bunds and the hearing of both cases was set for this worning at 10 o'clock, Another row occurred between James HBrooks and A. G. Brown, but it was the result of a political discussion, slthough 1t occurred right at the polls. Brooks struck Brown with his cane and th latter bad him arrested for assauit and bat- tery, The case will be tried today by Jus tice Barnett, In the Third ward it was ‘almost & walk- away for the citizens' ticket and at noon it was' estimuted that 1t led tne demooratic ticket five to one. The vote during the af- ternoon decreased the lead but very little, There was no ward alderman to be elected either in the Third or Fourth and for this reason the election in these wards was com- paratively quiet. In the Fourtn there was no excitement whatever, but the citizen ticket was voted with a rush, There was hurd fight in the Fifth, and a great deal of hard work was dons on both sides. Nick O'Hrien was there in all his lory, and did his utmost to advance Ma- loney’s interests for marshal, but he had overwheluing odds pitted aguinst him, and the ring's candi ' Lz atrick wus discouraged with Lis chances or being 8 dewocratic alderman and had {:! all beuart before the fight had fairly un, here was a close coutest in the Sixth ward for ward alderman, but Harding, re. }lubllcnu, led -Mikesell, his opponent, by & ow votes during the day, Whipple, inde- ndent, was on hand and worked bard, but e injured Harding but very little, The work of counting the votes becan promptly with the closing of the polls at 6 o'clock, but proceeded very slowly, awlni to the great number of scratohed tickets. Ite- turns were slow in cowiog in, but they showed the great strength of the citizons' ticket, as well as the fact that a large vote had been polled. A cuuvass in the wards showed the following vote: First.ward, 657; Second ward, 049; ward, 570; Fourth ward, first precin Fourth d, second ward, B55; Sixth ward, 4 This made a total vote of-3,546, the largest ever polled in the city, with the exception of the court house bond election. In the Third ward there were 125 straight citizens' tickets and 90 straight democratic tickets voted, and tho scratched tickets did not decrease the citizens' wajority. In the first precinet of the Fourth ward the vote Was aboul three to one in favor of the oiti- sens’ ticket. The Sixth ward reported u dewocratic wajority of & for wi alder- cipal ticket was in favor the citizens. The first polling place to send in complete returns was the second precinct of the Fourth, which was as follows CITIZENS' TICKET.

Kelley & Younkerman, Sheflleld Iron in Pittsburg. “Pittsburg iron manufacturers are anxiously watching the effect of the big shipment of Sheflield iron totheir city,” said C. O. Godfrey of Alabama at the Grand Pacific last evening, says the Chicago Tribune. “They are afraid of the result, and they think the entire northern market will be affected. Some of the Pittsburg manufacturers think they made a new discovery when they found that Mr. Carnegie was interested in this enter- prise. Why, Mr, Carnegie has been secretly shipping iron from Alabama for over a ycar. Some have been pretty large shipments, too. Now that he has bought 5,000 tons in one cargo it has ex- cited all Pennsylvania. The Pittsburg manufacturers claim that the metal 18 of a poor quality and can only be used 928 o mixture. Alabama iron is just as good as that of Pennsylvania. f it were of an inferior quality Mr. Carnegie would not have used it for over a year. Whuen the cargo left our state it so frightened some of the iron men of Pittsburg that they made straightway for Alabama in quest of a permanent location. Some of the big- gest dealers in Pennsylvania are now prospecting in our stute, and they say. it isonly a question of a shoet time when all of the large iron manufacturers of the Keystone state will be working ore in Alabama. Why not? There is not thirty days’ supply of iron inthe United States today and the market is as firm as a rock. *Iron can be made 9 per cent cheaper in Alabama than in Pennsylvania, and our state has over fifteen times as much ore. The largest iron establisnment in the world is located in Alabama, It turns out 1,000 tons per day, and that same plant wasin Fittsburg not many years ago. If the oxodus of Penn- sylvania iron manufacturers continues there wontbe a large-sized factory in Pittsburg within two years. —_— Labouchero on Limbs, As o matter of personal taste I rather prefer for ballet girls a quantity of pet- ticoats reaching nearly to tfm knee rather than the present habit of expos- ing almost the entire leg; while in re- spect to low evening dresses, if a girl has good shoulders, I hike to'see them, says the London Truth, At the same time I know nothing more ugly than the fashion of cutting the dress exceed- ingly low behind and exposing & vast surface of back, As to decency, the en- tire matter is purely conventional® In that earthly purm.l&a. the Garden of Eden, Eve wore no dress at all, In Turkey I have seen ladies who for the world would not show their faces, draw up their wide trousers and recklossly oxpose their legs.

P1r1sBURre, Pa., March 3.—|Special Tele- gram to Tre Bee.]—Fred Dunlap, the crack second baseman, has returned from Phila- delphia and proposes to raise a row with Hanlon, the brotherhood manager —hero. Dunlap, it seems, was offered $4,500 by the Pattsburg brotherhood, and accepted, but afterwards" went to Philadelphia, as he could get £5,000. He went also because he would not play for Hanlon, the Pittsburg manager. The Philadélphia club refused finally to pay him his #5,000, as they claimed the extra $3500 was paid him because he was manager of the Pittsburg team. Dunlap said that all brotherhood men were to be paid last year's salary, and as his was $5,000 he quit Philadelphia, He is here now inau~ gurating a vigorous kick against Manager Hanlon, as ho suys tho latter was elected contrary to the rules of the brotherhood, and that the players were allowed no vote in his case. Hanlon fires back and says no matter how good a player Dunlap is, he does not want him, Ward's Cnse Begun. New Yonk, March 8.—The caso of the Metropolitan Exhibition company against Jonn M.

Wolf, though stunned, was able to provent his wife, who had evidently become suddenly insane, from carrying out her purpose ana succeeded in quieting hier, She gave no fur- ther evidence of derangement and her hus. band supposed the insanity was a temporary fit and thought no more about it Thursday last when he went home from work his wife and _their youngoest child, aged two, werc missing, Ho searched the premises, but could not find the missing woman or’ child. He then alarmed the neighbors and an organized search was made for Mrs, Wolf, It was kept up through the day and all night Thursday night, but no trace of the unfortunate woman could be found. Late Friday forenoon a person not belonging to the scarching party was passing through lonely woods five miles from Mongauu village and discovered & woman sitting on a big rock in the middle of Mougaup crock. The water was quite deen between the shore and rock. The discoverer of the woman recognized her as Mrs. Wolf, and being unable 10 get an answer from her in respouse to his calls, he waded out to tho rock and carried her ashore. She was thinly clad, and as sue was covered with ice from ber feet to her armpits it was plain she must bave waded to the rock, probably the day or night before. She was taken by her res- cuer to the nearcst house and word sent to ber home and her hushand summoned. Tho poor woman's mind was entirely gone and 8ho wasy nearly dead from exposure. The child has not been found, and it 1s believed Mrs, Wolf threw itin the creok and drowned it. Mrs. Wolf is a handsome woman twenty- five yoars of age. She will be sent to an asylum. e A New Iron Proce RostoN, Mass., Murch 3,—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—Foreman John Farrar of the Smith iron company of this city has discovered a new process of casting iron Wwhich opens up a wide fleld. He has found that pen and ink sketches of common writ- iug paver can be transferced to iron as dis- tinctly as if the mould were of greater size. Three plates, one 38)¢x5 inches, and the others bxt incnes, are progf of his ingenuity. Upon the smallest one 18 written the Lord's prayer, the letters being quite distincr. The others contain outline drawings. Farrarex- plains his work in this way: *‘What you see on them 1s done with a common steel pen on a pieceof thin paper, The paper, when pre- pared, is placed in a sand mould. The iron is poured iuto the mould, and the writing is transferred to the casting.” Nebraska, lowa and Dakota Pansions.

Atchison Globe: Impaticnce weakness is a sign of weakness, A woman flatters with her eyes; a man flatters with his tongue. The jingling of a dollar makes all the music some people want, Aeman is not so apt to think it is wicked to gamble when he is winning, Some men’s hardest work is the work they do in trying to be amused. A man is not very wicked when he is just wicked enough to be charitable, ‘When you get angry because people laugh at you, you are giving them that much more to laugh at. A man’s idea of a nice woman is -one who pays most attention to the things he says, and the least to the things he does. ‘What right has the man who sits at the table in his shirt sleeves to abuse the women for wearing their hair in curl papers?
