VALLEY, Neb., Feb. 2.—(Soecial Tele- gram to The Bee,)—The and last dny’s session of the Douglas county farmers institute convened here today. In the ab- sonco of J. K. Weyvbright of Millard, who was elected to preside at the morning ses- sion, the gathering was called to order by Secretary Byars, after which John W. Hall was electea chairman in Mr. Weybrighi's stead. The farmers got right down to busi- ness, and, after the band played, F. 8. Hib- bard read a papec entitled “Shiftlessness of Farmor AIf you expect my essay to be composed of a melodious flow of words and rounded periods of rhetoric,” announced Mr. Ribbard, “you will be mistaken." Continuing, ho said his style would be of the granger orderand he felt proua of it. The paper hauled the shiftless, no account farmer over the coals, and was the cause of many nudges ana winks oeing exchanged by the hearers, Following Mr. Hibbard, a paper was read by Sam W. Stewart of Blair on the subject of “Serubs ana Farmers.” Supplementary to the reading of his paper Mr. Stewart recounted some reminiscences of Douglas county nffiirs when he was & resi- dent here muny years ago. He dealt with the scrub question without gloves and vouchsafed the information that there are scrub horses, cattle and hogs as well s serub lawyers, preactiers and merchatts Ho said the s 4 bare possibility of there being a sc rmer. In defining the dif- fereut variety of scrubs Mr, Stewart do- clared the scrub merchant's most characte istic failing to be modesty TOO MOI TO ADVERTISE “Phia particular brand of merchant is so very modest,” declared Mr. Stewart, ‘‘that money could not hire him to have his nawme put in a newspaper, lot alone paying to have it put there by some hustling advertising solicitor.” He described a serub animal as one that will not bring. when put on the marke three-fourths as much as other animals ma keted the same day, ago and size being equal. State Senator Noyes led the discus: sion brought ont by Messrs. Hibbard and arv's papers and was followed by Jowell, Emery, Whitmore and The discussion waxed s0 warm that it was impossible to adjourn the forenoon session until 12:30. After dinner and music by Messs, Stew- art and_Hunter on the guitar, Prof. F. W, Chard, the_horticultural lecturer, delivered a woll received adaress mall Fruits.” fle told the farmers how to care for the different small fruits best adanted to these climates and laid particular stress on the grape. Curtis €. Turner of Omaha addressed the convention on the subject of “Good Roads in Douglas County.” Mr. Turner’s hobby is a road that follows the natural contour of the country traver 1, and by means of a pro- file chart he showed the people what was pos- sible in Douglas county in that line, By Mr. Turner’s illustration thedistance from Val- oy to Omaha would be lessened two miles and at no place on the route would the gradebe over two and a half feet in 100, second has figured out to be $2,000 per mile. He is against the macadamizing scheme and places the cost of preparing the thorough- fares of the county for paving at double the price of the contour ariveway THINKS IT VERY ECONOMICAL. According to Mr. Turner’s daductions tho $150,000 paving bonds voted by the county would, if expended in building roads accord- g to his wea, cover the cntire cost of a roud from Omaha to Millard, Elkhorn and Bennineton and reduce the distance between those poiuts and Omaha five ov six miles. Mr. Turner’s ideas took the farmers’ breath away for awhile, but they soon recovered and " then followed a discussion that was warm and intevesting. Mr. Whitmorc's plan, would bo for the commissioners to come out west of the Elkhorn river and expend the money available to paving on the road in the vicinity of Valley. Commissioner Williams Jjumped into the breach at this juncture and read from data at hand where this vicinity not so very long ago was allowed about threo times the_amount due it out of the roud fund, and Mr. Whitmore's scheme went glimmering. L. L. Cowles and Mr. String- line had ideas on the road question and cx- pressed them. W.G. Whitmore declarcd that it was second nature for the farmer to kick and growl about the roads und then went on record with a full-sized one of his owu fostering. At this juncture the as- semblage adjourned to eat the evening meal. AT THE EVENING SESSION, After supper and after more music by the different church choirs and recitations by Miss Pickard and Mrs. W. E. Wokely respec tively, W. (. Whitmore, as presiding oficer, reviowed the work of tne institute and | pleaded guiity to being in u measure re- sponsible for the bringing avout of this sories of meetiugs, “When toward the end of his earthly career St. Paul was going for tho last time and as 4 prisoner up over (he magniticent Appian way to Rome, stopping fn the forum to rest, he found 1t in nhis heart to thank God and take courage,” said Mr. Whitmore, 50 it seems to me Lhat we, a congregition of farm folks who, many of us, are too apt to huvo the death rattle of discouragement in our heart, miiy pause on occasious like this and admit to ourseives and to each other that we aro at least as well off as tho avarage mortals.” ‘Then Mr. Whitmore infroduced Chancel- lor Canfield of the State university, who re galed thoe 400 auditors with onc of his cha acteristic feasts of reason. The chuncellor's uddress was an - oratorical gom of the first water, and covered multiplicity of points | and uffaivs from the time of Columbus down to the present day.

V. McNamara, whose trial began at Independence yesterday on the charge of vilifying Father Lillis of this city, has not yet returned a verdict. [t Is understood that the jury stands five for conviction and one for acquittal, and that the one juror who is hanging that Eody 1s a member of the American Protective association. During the course of his iecture, i which it is al- the charge ugaicst Bishop Hogan, Lillas, Father Dalton and Mother Vincent were made by Mo- Namara, he read from a book, sup- posedly, statements that included all the fes of the Catholic charch, The an Protective association juror de- sires, it is stated, to determino whether the book contaiued the charges. McNamara was looking for the quotations somo time before the second c inst him was allod this morning, but so far has been un- able to find them. At 11:80 this morning the jury was excused for dinuerand wili probably report this afternoon. The second trial of McNamara bogan at Independence this morning. He is charged with accusing Father Dalton of this city with a heinous crime, the same as he clharged against Father Lillis, When the case was X legea “ather called McNamara's attorney asked that the constable of Biue township be entrusted with the duty of summoning & jury. He said that Marshal Stewart was a Catholic, which should bar him from performing that function. He also stated that a deputy marshal had gone to Independence before the case was called and had secured a jury on the quiet. This statement was denied by Prosecutor Brown and Justice Nichols instructed Marshal Stewart to sum- mon the jury. ‘The panel of jurors filed iuto the court about 12 o’'clock. Upon being ex- amined it was a ained that five were Catholics, one was ill and one had heard the evidence yesterday and his wife was o Catholie. They were all excused and the marshal started on a quest for a second panel. Court adjourned until after- noon. 2 1t has been ascertained that the two men assaulzed last night at the station at Inde- pendence were witnesses for the plaintiff in McNamara’s case, and they are members of the Awmevican Protective association. Both wero armed, and when u crowd of three or four men threw beer bottles and stones at themithey responded, each firing one shot from a revolver at their assailants. McMil- , one of the men assaulted, was struck with a beer bottle, but not seriously hurt. Noarrests were made. At 11 o'clock tonight, before the testimony in the Dalton case was all in, after the judge's charge to the jury, the jury retived, and at midnight returned with a verdict of guilty, assessing a penalty of twelve months in the county jail and a fine of $500. Me- Namara's attorneys at ouce appealed to the criminal court, which was granted, the bond being placed at $1,500. ‘The jury in the Father Lillis case, that tried yesierday, which has been unable to agree, was ordered by Judge Nichols to appear in court LOMOorrow morning. ‘I'he court also applied the bonds in the other cases vending against McNamara as follows: The Lillis_case, $500: circulating obscene literature, £00; ducing Mother Vincent. $1,000. These cases will probably be tried immediately. e CALLED JOHN KUNZE. Judge Wing Creates Another Sensation in the Dan Coughlin Trial. CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—Mrs. Maria Norton testified in the Coughlin case today that she knew the defendant and his wife and that they had called upon her one Sun- dayin April, 1889, prior to Dr. Cronin's disappearance May 4. Mrs. Norton said Coughlin’s little girl and her own child had quarreled over the possession of a kuife. To satisfy the children Coughlin had taken out of his pocket two knives and given them to the little girls. The witness was shown the kuives taken from the defendant avrest and supposed to bo those of Dr. ‘k{xonm and said Coughlin's kunives were sim When Mrs. Norton was excused Judge Wing created a sensation by caliing John Kunze to the stand, The ntroduction by the de of the testimony of one of the defendants at the formal trial was an inno- vation and everybody in the court room looked eagerly for his appearance. The at- torney considered o moment and then an- nounced that Police Inspector Schaack would be heard first. The officer told of the disappearance of Dr, Crouin having been ro- ported to him and of the search he began for the white horse. The inspector said that he had taken Dinan’s white horse to Mrs. Conkl and she had failed to identify it as the one that ook Dr. Cronin away, although she after- wards positively ideniified the same horse. Schaack said he did not remember having seen Coughlin at the station on the night of May 4. Captain Schuettler has roturned from the cast, where he found Napier Moveland, the man who hitehed up Dinan’s white horse on the night of May 4, and who had been anxiously sought by the prosecution.

THE OMAHA DAILY B JE: éATURl)AY. FEBRUARY WAS ROBBED OF HER CHILD Mother Held Fast While Her Baby is Taken from Her, WORK OF HER ESTRANGED HUSBAND o Was Alded by a Friend—Climax of Years of Domestic Unhappiness—Both Men Arrested—Story Told by the Mother. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a warrant was sworn out in police court by ex- Judge Shields for the arrest of George J. Fox and Harry Clark for the crime of child stealing. The warrant was at once placed in the hands ofan officer, and before 6 o'clock both men were in custody. They were not long there, however, for upon sending word to O. H. Ballou they were immediately re- leased, he signing a bond for $1,500 for each. They left the jail, and pothing could ba learned as to the whereabouts of the two men last night. Mr. Fox is a real estate dealer, and has an office at 1218 Harney street. He does a good business and is fairly well-to-do. Clark was formerly a “‘hasher” at McDonald’s restaurant, so it is said, but since the latter went out of business but lit- tlo has been seen of him. The men are charged with forcibly taking from its mother Mr. Fox's 2-vear-old girl. he mother and two sisters of Mr. Fox re- side at 2415 Kmmet street. He is a frequent visitor there, and for some time he and his wife made their home tnere. Right here is where the trouble began. The wother-in- law, it is said, did not like her daughter- in-law, and ths feeling ran through the family, Mrs. Fox, however, continued to make her home here for some time, notwith- standing things were Lbecoming more dis- agrecable daily and it would be only & ques- tion of time when she would be compelled to leave to prevent any serious vrouble. BUT MATTERS GREW WORSE. Thiogs went on and Fox and his wife con- tinued to live at his mother's house, but all the time affairs were assuming more unpleas- ant proportions. Mrs. Fox did not soriously complain, buy it was eventually decided to take up residence down town. Aftera time Fox agreed to this and they left the Emmet street residence. They took up quarters at @ down town fashionable boarding house on Seventeenth street and brought the child with them. Hero the unpleasantness was kept up, but it was not so trying siuce they were away from the husband’s family. It did not cease, however, and a separation followed some weeks ago. Mrs. Fox retained possession of the child. The baby was allowed its freedom and while it was taken out in the open air very freely, it was never out of its mother’s sicht. Yesterday Mrs. Fox, who had just got up from of a bed of sickness and whoisnaturally a weakly woman, had her dinner and ro- tired to her appartments. She felt fatigued and though that another spell of heart failure was about to seize her. So she went to bed, and the last thing she thought of was to see that her little daugh- ter was safe from harm, It wasquiotly playing at the foot of the bed and the mother tried to invite sleep. She could not, however, and 50 she dozed away, half think- ingof her troubles, and then the bright child would laugh at something it would see and cast an occasional ray of sunshine through the mother's sad thoughts. Pres- ently voices wero heard in the hall and finally they were heard immediately outside of the door. Mrs. TFox listened nd took another look at the baby. There it was laughing and smiling, and she was about to say some- thing toit when the door roughly opened and a low voice was heard. *I want that child and am going' to have it,” was the first thing that was said, and a man reached to pick up the baby, cailing it by name. Mys. Fox was nearly crazed, and oried, ‘“‘For God's sake, leave me my child, leave my child, you cannot beso cruel as to take it from me,” and she sprang from her bed to save, if possible, the only thing on earth she held near and dear to her. SHE WAS HELD FAST. Her efforts were in vain, for ’ere she had reached the floor rough hands seized her and in a vice-like grip she was compelied to stand and watch her husband carry away her child and she unable to prevent it. She struggled, but weak and siclk, she was a trifle in the hands of the one who held her. She saw nothing to be gained by force then in the agony by despair and then she pleaded with her captor to free her that she might save the child, It was but the werk of a few moments and all was over, the frantic mother was left to pacify herself as best she- could and the child was gone, but she knew not where. A Bee reporter talkked with Mrs. Fox last night on the affairs leadivg up to the kid- napping. She is a pleasant woman and she clearly shows tho effects of the trying ordeal she had been through. She sais “My husband and I have been mar- ried some three years and soon after our wedding we took up residence with his mother atv 2415 Emmet street. There was the principal source of all the trouble. His mother and I did not agree and instead of takwg my part he always sided in with the others, and it made things very uupleasant for me. He also would make no endeavor to 1ght matters and 1 had to stand everything as best Icould.

That Clark who held me while my husband took the child hurt my side, and his treatment of me while in his power was exceedingly brutal, **Yes, I shall petition for divorce and take the steps suggested by my attorney for the recovery of the child, and then I shall leave for my home in Herman, Neb."
