The park commissioners say that tbe fountain will be set this spring, the park appropriation tax having carried, and what they now want is to have the owners of property facing the parks do the hand- some thing and contribute for this purpose, It is thought that $1,000 ought to be raised n this manner, as several of the most inter- ested have snnounced their willingness to subscribe liberally. Charles Johnson, alias Bethers, was ar- rested last evening on o warrant charging him with assault with intent to do great bodaily injury. Johnson was one of a party of young fellows who attacked avothe young man scme time ago as he was leaving the opera house und pounded him severely. Johnson stubbed him with » pocket knife, but the cut was not a deep one, owing to the thickness of the victim's overcoat. The hearing of the others was continued to await Johnson's arrest. he case will be tried be- fore Justice Hendricks, Theodore P. Rickard of North Dakota,* and A, C. Patheal of South Dakota, were in the city yesterday, and appeared before the board of trade in' behalf of the Dalota sufferors. Donations were solicited, and they received much encouragement.

The Krancis Murphy tewmperance move- ment hus had a little effect even on those who have been so engaged and interested in the Helmick murder trial that one would naturaliy suppose they would think of little else. A tiny bit of the blue ribbon is care- ¢ tied into the buttonbole of Judge Thor nell, who presides on the bench, The de- fendant, Rev, Mr. Helmick, also flies the bluo ribbon, a8 do several of the witnesses, as woll as & number of others who are in gonstaut attendance on the trial. The jury- mon eeem 10 have escapoed. Yesterday forenoon was taken up with the continued and sharp cross-examination of the defendaunt, There was little gained for the prosecution, as Rev. Mr. Helmick stuck pretty snugly to the story already narrated. Much time was taken in questioning him as 1o what he had sworn to at the preliminary examination, sand an attempt was mude to corkscrew from him statements inconsist. ent with his previous testimony. Ou some <f the minor points this was successful. On the opening of the afternoon session the defense again ffered in evidence the letter 80 frequently alluded to, and which has caused several argumgnts and led to nu- merous decisions, Judge'Chornell ruled the lotter out the day before, because the de- fense had not made the nbcessary prelimi nury proof. Yesterday he aecidod thut the defénse had succeeded in making the neces sary proof by the testimony of Helmick, and allowed the lotter to go to the jury. The purpose of this letter was to show that . W. Helmick was not actuated by malice but was simply performing pastoral duty. Mrs, Porter and ber davghter Ella, who after- ward became Mrs. Palmer, were members of his church. In June Mr, Helmick received this letter written by Mr, Crissman, & brother-in-law of Palmer's. Crissman wi also a member of the church, In this letter Crissman stated that the fact nad just come to his knowledge that Eila Porter was infatuated with Earl Palmer. He informed Mr. Heimick that Palmer was a victim of most debasing vices, was utterly untruthful, and was a companion of prostitutes; that he deliberately ruined a girl in Illinois, and 1t was natural to think he would do the same thing again, He d sired Mr. Helmick to see Mr. and Mrs. Porter and to warn them. Mr. Crissman wrote that he had no iil will against Palmer, but deemed it his duty, though a painful one, to have the girl's parents warned. He requested Mr. Helmick not to show this letter or mention his name uuless it should become necessary. Lou Graver was recalled on some point of less importance, concerning differences in his testimony at the prelimiary examina- tion and on the present trial. Riley Clark was then called tne state, 1n rebuttal of the testimony of Sullivan. Riley made u bushel of fun, There was little in his testimony of great importance, but the sallies between him and Attorney McCabe, who cross-examined him, made much merri- ment, They were largely of a personal nature, Mrs, Starbrock was examined as to]the whereabouts of Jim Hardman the night of the shooting. She was visiting at Hardman’s house that evening and knew he was at . Hardman was callod to testify to the samo point. She was equally positive that Mr. Hardman was at home on the evening of the shooting. il Save Life and Money. The gasoline stove is more dangerous than the unloaded gun.

Much interest is being manifested in those who recently signed the pledge during the progress of the Murphy meetings in this city. Among the numbor was Frank Trim- ble, whose history s familiar to- every citi- zen of the Bluffs. 1In discussing the matter sterday aftern & busincss man re- marked: *I saw Trimble yesterday in front of the Turf Exchange and a_notorious bum- mer had bim by the arm trying to got him inside to tuke a drink. Frank pulled away and passed on, but it was a terrible tempta- tion.” City Marshal Guanella overheard the con- versation and remarked: “I wish I had been there and I would have thrown him into the hole.” At this point Judge Aylesworth took a hand. Snid he, “I wish you had. He would have gone to the county jail. 1f you find anybody trying to get Frank to drink, bring him in. it won't be well for any of these contemptible whelps to come before me on such a charge, or they will go down for thirty days.

Its effects are almost instantaneous, and there is no use talk- ing, it is a dead shot on a cough or cold. We don’t say this for pay, but because we consider Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the best made, and we want the people to know it and use it.” iy ey IN THE COURTS, A Variety of Cases Occupying Ju- dicial Attention. Tom Lacy is on trial before Judge Clark- 80n on the charge of having touched a rural visitor last Thanksgiving day for two watches and £10 in the coin of the realm. The complaining witness is Henry Wall- baum, who told his story to the court through an interpreter. The tale was dis- jointed and & half dozen detectives were brought in to bolster up the case by showing up Lacy's previous bad character. Lacy has been in trouble before, and was ac- quitted [ast term ou u similar charge through the good nature of the jury. ‘The case of Mrs, Shiun vs Shields & Con- nor seems destined to be a “hanger” in the district court. It was commenced several terms ago. Last term it was tried but the jury failed to agr It was placed on trial before Judwe Doane Monday. Yesterday moramg Architect McDonald, who is one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution, was absent and a capias was 1ssued for him. ‘The bailiff who went out with tho capias re- turned with a physician’s certiticate setting forth Mr. McDonald's illness. The case was cordingly continued until next torm, ‘The case of Henry Lebman ve Edholm & Aiken was colled before Judge Doane yes- terday afternoon. This is a suit for $57 for wall paper, and has been in the courts until the costs equal several times the amount of the orizinal claim. In reply to the suit Edholm & Aiken alleged that the goods were purchased from Lehman by one Meler, whom they paid for both the material and the work, and that Lehman should look to Meler for the pay for the material. The case was triea before Justice Wade and a verdict rendered for Lehman, It was ap- pealed and was tried before Judge Doane last term. The jury beforo whom the case was tried, after having been out several hours, returned and asked Judge Doane if it should make any difference in the verdict because Mr. Lehman was not put on the stand. The question made Judge Doane very indignant, and after a verdict had been given for the plaintiff, he granted a new trial on the ground that the jury was not competent to try the case. The cuse is now on trial. Lewis O. Hibben has commenced suit against Constavle David P. Farqubar and his bondsmen, John Thomas and Edward J. Brennan. Riley & Dillon obtained u judg- ment of 8300 in the county court against Hibben, and the execution was placed in the nands of Constable IParquhar, who levied upon three barrels of whisky und advertised the same for sale.
