VERDICT SAVES NEAL TEMPORARILY Rumor That He W Killed Had th Jury Not Brought in a Verdict That He Was Guilty, 1ld Have Been Ly The grea 1 trial for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Jones came to a close yester- day morning in the district court in the finding of the defendant guilty of murder in the first | degree. The crime was the most brutal over mitted in Douglas county. Allied to it was robbery of the most barefaced character. The crime was all the more reprobated be- pause the victims were old, helpless and al- most unknown in the region in which they were killed, They had but just closed the door after the departure of their son-in-law when the mur- derer entered their cottage, galned their confidence, killed them in cold blood wnd submitted their mangled remains to sepulture becoming only to brute beasts, The verdict gives general satisfaction, It Is felt that it will have a deterrent effectupon the criminals who have, since the commission of the crime, been sojourning in this city. he case, of course, will be appealed to the 3 supreme court.

NOT FOR JOSEPH. N The Strangling Noose Will Not Encir- cle Shellenberger's Little Neck, A few minutes after Neal had been con- ducted to the jail, Joe Shellenberger, the second suspect in the great murder case, was brought in by Jailer Miller and placed in the chair just vacated by the man who had been adjudged guilty of the most brutal murder ever committed in this state. Shellenberger has fared well, evidently, Auring his incarceration. However his con- sclence may have annoyed him during the past ten weeks, his appetite has not flagged end his appearance has greatly improved. His cheeks are rosy, his eye bright and he has lost the nervousness that was so marked when he was arrested With a smile that was childlike and bland, e took bis seat and awaited the proceedings with evident cagerness. Major Watson of Nebraska City, Shellen- berger's attorney, had a seat at his client's side, wearing a look of unqualified unconcern se-though ussured that his client was in no danger of severe treatment, He had asked that Shellenberger either be discharged or given an immediate trinl, M. Cul Chapman of Nebraska City, an un- cle by marrisge of Shellenberger, was also - as a buzz of excited voices among thd hundred or more court loiterers when Shellenberger was led in, and onder was se- cured only after the bailiffs had rapped re- peatedly and Judge Clarkson had finally threatened to clear the court room. County Attorney Mahoney then stated that e bad decided after a thorough investigation and consideration of the matter toentera a nollo prosequi, and asked for the discharge of the prisoner, and Judge Clarkson made the order accordingly. The order was received without demon- stration or comment. Mr. Mahounoy at once gurnod his attention to other matters. Jailer Miller caressod a boil on his neck. Attorneys Gurley and Estelle glanced casu- plly at the prisoier while discussing in anun- dertone the disposition of the Neal case. Even l\lnt}l' Wautson was exasperatingly in- different. @ did not look around for a min- ute or more and when he did, his congratula- fon was very commonplace. ' He only said: iJoe, go over and get your duds and get eady to get out of hore,’ L Shellenberger was apparently alone with #his happiness. He had suddenly been re- moved from the position of a great murder spect to that of a decidedly ordinary oiti- and the transfer gave him evident » the propor order had been made for tho dismissal of the case, Suellenberger wus {lalken to the sherlff’s oBice, where be was the 1 subject of hearty congratulations from Sherift Boyd and the attaches of his office, Mr. Chapman was anxious to catch the 10:30 n'rlm\( train for Nebraska City and told Shellenberger to hurry up and get his clothes, Then there was a hitch Jailer Miller accompanied Shellenberger to the jail and turned him in without any ex- planation to the deputy jailers, Miller then went down town on_an érrand, leaving Shel lenberger in the visitors’ room at the jail Mr. Chapman, who had been waiting in the sherifl’s oftice, became anxious as the train time approached, and finally went to the jail and asked for Shollenberger's release. ‘Ho was informed that the deputy jailers had no authority to release the ex-suspect and could not do s0 without au order. It was a case of oversight all around A Bee ropresentative straightened the matter out by securing from Judge Clarkson an order for Shellenberger's release. This document was placed in the deputy jailer's hand and Shellenberger was given his elothes and libert - “How a u feeling, Joe,' asked the re. porter as the rian stepped out of the jail and drew a full, long breath of free, pure air.

He is not a bad man, but is frequently found in bad company. I hope his littlo experience in this case will teach him a losson.” County Attorney Mahoney said: berger had nothing to do with the case. I :ould do nothing less than indict him after of the killing, though I found ds that he was in Nebraska City atthe time the murder was committed.

Only a brief time after the defendant had been returned to his steel cage he was vis- ited by Tk Bre reporter, who found him singlug uway apparently just os happy as @ ark.

It is expocted that the structure will be comploted in about ton days, and it is said that Mr. Crouse will send invitations all over the country to breeders and horsemen for a grand reception and formal opening of the building. Mr. Crouse is the owner of some n‘{ the finest bred horses in the United States, and his string is one of the largest and most valuable seen at Saratoga each season, The stable stands in Mulber and in the rear of the old Crouse man- sion, which faces on Fayette park. It has been most carefully constructed, and it is bulieved by many that Mr, Crouse will bequeath the structure to the city street for a public library, for which it is admirably situated and arranged. The foundation is of cut stone laid in Port- land cement and is of extra thicknoss, The front of the building is sixty feet with a depth of eighty feot. It is stories high,” exclusive of the gables, The materials used in the construetion are New Hampshire red sand stone, Trenton brick and encaustic tile and terra cotta. The lower story is enclosed in sand stone, above which the brick superstructure rises, The main entrance is on Mulberr street in the middle of the building. In the middlo of the south side, facing on a broad alley, is an drivi through which the horses and car will pass. There is also a \-.w.‘t an en- trance on this side. On_ the north side is astable yard and blacksmith shop. The gables of the building and the stono carving are eluborate and attractive. Espe ttention has been given in the construction of the stables to ventilation, heating, lighting and plumbing, The bath and toilet rooms are models of luxu The building has been com- pletely wired for electric illumination. The heating is by steam. The splendor of the interior of the building is the foature. The rarest and most costly woods combined with the finest workmanship, have made the rooms wonders of the designers’ and joiners’ arts.

Tndigestio S not only a distressing complaint, of itself, but, by causing the blood to become depraved and the system en- (eebled, is the parent of innumerablo maladies. That Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Camplaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway Centre, Mich.: — “Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony, was rednced almost to a eleton, and hardl, had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at all. 'Within the time mentioned several hysicians treated me without giving re- ief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until T commenced the uss of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful resulis. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsapa- rilla I could see an improvement in mny condition. My appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength im- proved each day, and after a few months of faithful ention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life.” Ryer's Sarsapailla, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Price §1; eix bottlos, $5. Worth 4 a bottles There’s a corset that isn’t a corset, a waist with straps for the shoulders and rows of buttons to button on skirts and stocking supporters and so forth—the Ball Waist —and that's about the whole of it. Noj; you can put it in the washtub—no metal in it or on it. It is worth your seeing, if for nothing but how to sew on buttons'to button easy and never come off, and how to make buttonholes wear for- ever. Women differ in their ways of thinking and dressing as well as in other ways, This waist is for women whose minds are made up that they won't wear corsets, There's much to be said on both sides; but did you ever hear of a woman who hadn’t made up her mind in some way? and is there any possible use in trying to get her to change it? She will and she will; or she won't and she won't, You can get the Ball Waist and wear it a week or two or three; and, if you don't want it, take it back to the store and get your money, Ca1cAGo Corser Co., Chicago and New York, N | = ! jo. : b —— A Slig Iftatke.. ust 50! ho! ho! {why yes, indeed | sec!
