An exciting time was had yesterday morn- ing in the court of Justice Swearingen, who was hearing the trial of the case of Mary Peterson against Charles Thyrkell, in which the plaintiff was seeking to get possession of & cow which sho claimed was hers, but which was in possession of her brother, the defend- ant in the case. J. Gi. F. Peterson was ma ried to the plainuff only a fow weeks ago, and ho was really reponsible for the bringing of the suir, his wife being conteuded to leave her cow in the hands of her brother. Mrs. Peterson was put upon the stand, and after she had testified she went across the room and commenced to talk to her fathor and brother, Her testimony had apparently not suited her licge lord, for Peterson rushed across the room, seized ' his bride by the arm and pulled her down stairs after bim in spite of the efforts of the male relatives of the woman, assisted by some of the by-standers, to prevent him from doig her any injury. Atthe same time he proclaimed in” a loud tone of voice that the father and brother were trying to win his wife away from him, and he didn’t propose to stand 1it. At the foot of the stairs the brother of the plaintiff met him aund somo Rugry words wero ex- changed, which scemed likely to rosult in a fight. During the quarrel Mrs. Peterson ran up stairs, her husband shouting to her as she disapoeared behind the door of the jus- tice shop that ho was going home und she need not mind about following im, as ho had had enough of her. The trausaction and its romantic ending attracted a largo crowd, which was evidently anxious to seon fight. 'At the conclusion of the trial Mrs, Peterson was given possession of the cow. Drs.

About 125 veter- ans wore in attendance, but a large number of outsiders were there.

The carelessness of the average small hoy in jumping on and off motor trains while in motion is made the subject of remark every month or two, when some new victim to his own ' recklessness comes to light. Kddie Conley, a boy living with his parents on Vine street, is the latest. Tuesday evening he was playing with some other boys of his own age, jumping on and off the trains, when he made a misstep and was thrown 1o the ground with terrific force, landing on his head on the hard payement of the street. He was picked up and carried home uncon- scious, where a physician was summoned to attend him. He finaily camo out all right, but with a sore bead that will remind him for some days of the foolishness of trying to ride on the motor without paying. Going After Money. F. W. Huditch, the expert accountant, leaves next Sunday for a six mouths’ trip through Europe. During his absence he will visit London, Laverpool and Birmingham, England, besides a number of cities on the continent. The object of his journey is to muke arrangements for the securing of $500,- 000 which he will bring back with him and invest in an enterprise the nature of which ho has not vet made public. At all events ho states that it is an_enterprise in which all the citizens will be deeply interested, aud which will do much for the city in general. ‘Manawa's Mineral Water. The artesinn well at Lake Manawa is attracting a good deal of attention and many remarkable cures are reported as having been made by the use of its waters. Last spring the well was sunk to a dopth of 185 feet, and a handsome pavilion built around it. The well was originally sunk in 1886, when the hotel was being built. Its strong mineral qualities were at once discovered und a quantity of vhe water was sent to Prof. August Bode of Milwaukee, with the following result: Sulphate of iron, 6.9. Sulphate of magnesium, 4.5, Phosphate of magnesium, 8.8, Chalybeate, 3.4 ~.u1pimtu of sodium, 3.6, Chloride of sodium, a trace. Reaction—Slightly alkaline.

Trouble Which the Personal Rights People Have of Hand. The Douglas County Personal Rights league is still in the ring. Tho idea enter- tained by some people that the defeat of pro- nivition ended the occupation of the Personal Rights league was shown last night to have been entirely erroneous. About sixty mem- bers of the Douglas County league met at Germania ball and_procecded to form a per- mavent organization by the adoption of a constitution and bylaws. All German speaking citizens may bscome members of the organization. The intention is to have the orgat 1zation made permanent all over the state, so that in case the orohibi- tion ghost should’ again show its head a de- cisive attack can be made by those who as- sisted 50 energetically and efliciently in de- feating the amendment last year, Thero was a lively discassion [ast night in tho leaguo when some of the members wanted t0 vote somo of the funds now in the treas- ury to assist in bearing the expenses of the Gérman day demonstration, President Lund was stoutly opposed to tho idea of usiog the fuuds for that purpose. He beld that the funds had been largely con- tributed by people who were not Giermans and they understood when they contributed the funds that the money was to be used in tie auti-prohibition campaign. He thought, therefors, that 1t would not be right for the league to divert the funds to some other use. Other members of the league said that the prohibition fight was over, there was a fund of about 7,000 in the treasury and they did not believe that anybody who had con- tributed to the league would feel offended if somo of the money should be used to defray the expenses of German day. Some of the members hinted that the funds were be kept for the fall campaign and if that was the intention of the democrats in the league who objected to using the funds for German day, there would be several different varleties of musio floating through the at- mosphere about tho time the attempt was made to use the funds in a local, political campaign After discussing the matter for some time it was finally decided not to use the funds for 1an day, The league will meet Vi ¥ in Septemver. - 'S nan £ills, stipation and liver reguluto: el s FOLLOWIN azain on the first the great co n HEN UP, Pursuing the Burglars Relentlessly.
