For programmes address Nat Brown, Merchants hotel, Omaha. the great co n Mrs, Breezee Again, ‘The trial of the habeas corpus proceedings in which Mrs. Emma Breczee of Missouri Valloy is plaintiff and the county supervisors and sheriff of Harrison county are defend- ants, took place yesterday in superior court, The,Breezee case has been the subject of newspaper talk for the past two years, in which time it bas nad a great deal of notor- iety, but, unlike most things, it Goes not grow old." Each t:tme 1t bobs to the surface some thing new comes up with it in the way of added mystery. Since her case was decided by the supreme court of Jowa and she was declared insane sho has been at large, although 1t was claimed that her husband was appointed oy the Board of Supervisors to act as guardian. Mrs, Breezoe chafed under this restraint, slight though it was, und brought tho pros- ent proceeaings to have the uppointment of her husband ruilified. The county supervisors claim that no such order wus ever made, and they say that ALvs. Breozee is as free to go unywhere, with or without the conseut of her husband, as she ever was. They aamit, howcyer, that if she had come to Missouri Valley she would have been arrosted and putin confinement, so that she is not really out from under the ban of insanity. The reason why she was not pluced under arrest before is _that a part of the time she spent hiding in Nebraska, out- side of the jurisdiction of the Harrison county officiuls. and the rest has been spent here, where, if she had been arrested, she hud tpo many chauces to get away on an action like the present one Mrs. Bie e occuped the sta d'ull day 1ong, and was put through 4 most searching examination and cross examination. Throuuh- out it ali she ncver hesitated in telling ber story, and she carried herself in a way thar seemeéd to preclude the possibility of ber being insane. She went into the minuest de- tails of her story without ever contradicting hevself. The county chairman of the Board of Supervisors, however, stated that even these details. which were told without a moment's hesitatation, were made out of whole cloth, there not being a word of truth in most of them. Some of ner stories, however, sounded to a disinterested listuer as a trifie’ fishy, to say theleast. On one occasion, Mrs. Hibbard, whose husband took un active part in bring- ing the insauity matter to the attention of the county board in the first place, came to her house and_threw un orange at her, tell- ing her to eat it and saying she was going to wait until she saw her do so. The orunge, Mrs. Breezee sald, was poisoned, but the facy that a woman would act in that way who bas made up her mind_ to deliberately poison au- other did not seem Lo her to be strange in the least. After Mrs. Breezoo had been on the stand all aay it was aecided to postpone the rest of the case until next Thursday when sho will resume her story.

S Sidewalk Contracts, A session of district court was held yester- day with Judge Walter I, Smith on the bench. ‘The purpose was to hear the application of John M. Hardin for an injunction to restrain the oity snd Thomas Galvia from entering into & contract for building sidewalks and writ of mandamus compelling the city to let the contract to him. Hardin states in nis petition that the contract was let to him in the first place and that he bought a lot of lumber in order to do the work. Subsequently the council changed ts miod, Ana re- scinded its first action, awarding the job to Galvin, his bid being a trifie lower than Hardin's, Hardin was awarded the contract in tho first place, although his bid was higher than Galvin's, because some of the council heard that Galvin bought his lumber in Oumahin And they wished to teach bim a Jes- son on the subjéet of patronizing homé iudus- tries, ' It was learnod subsequently that the report was started by Haruin himself, so the council took back its action and allowed the contract to Galvin, The testimouy was com- pleted and the case submitted to the court to be decided Monday ——— No gripping, no nausea, no pan iwhen DeWit's Little Early Risers are taken.

Manawa's Minoral Wate The artesian well at Lake Manawa is attracting n good deal of attention and many remarkable cures are reported as having been made by the use of its waters. Lust spring the well was sunk to a depth 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 onca discovered and a quantity of the 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, 3. Chalybeate, 3.4 sulphate of kodinm, 3.6, Chloride of sodium, a trace Reaction—slightly alkaline.

Quite & little audience was attracted to the justico mill by the romaatic features of the case. RRoss told bis story substantially as wiven in yesterday's Ber, while the girl added some interesting statements to hers, She said that on tho 25th of last June IRoss ina o ber & present of the ring. and from thut time on ho seemed to think that he was cn- titled to a good many more privileges than she thought she ought to grant him. This little differenco of opinion kept growing until Ross finally demunded the ring back. He accompanied the demand by a thrcut that if shie did _not do so he would have her ar- vested. ‘This raised her temper, aud she dured bim to do so. At the same time she informed him that he wight thereafter con- sider himsolf as_having been fired. At the close of the taking of the testimony Justice Cones dismissed the case and dischirged the defendaut. Ross left the room accompanied by the jeers of n number of his Cut-off islund cronies, wao had decided to leave him in his adversity, while Miss Robeson kept the ring and the field. fhici JRR 2 For Schiitz beer apply 1020 Paraa .
