Larrabee M. Campbell against Frank C. Johnscn of the Midland bank is at an end the plaintiff having been knocked out in wyery round, after which he was denied the new trial for which he asksd some time Mr. Johnson is kept busy acknowledging th: congratulations of his friends, who are gl 1 t6 know that he passed through the scathing figes of the mills of the courts, and that with- | olit receiving a scar. As fs well known, this suit was commenced last March, the plaintiff suing for $50,000 and alleging that the defendant had broken up his home and estranged his wife, Hattie Campbell, to whom he had been married some fifteen years. ‘When the suit was brought the pape were filad and immediately withdrawn, it Being cialmed that this was for the purpose af preventing Mr. Johnson from know just what chargos were alleged. However, there were several sensational stories printed at the time, all of which were proven to bo false when the witnesses went upon the stand and the clergyman was called upon to face the man he had accused. The peti tion and the depositions of Mrs. Campbell related a number of escapades and long car- flage drives, to say mnothing of a home in Council Bluffs, a piano and a_gold watch which, it was claimed, Mr. Johnson had bought and presented to her. When the testimony was In this was shown up in a different light. It was clearly proven that Mr. Johnson had done nothing of the k'nd, but_ that Instead he loaned Rev, Campbeli the ‘money to erect the Council Bluffs house and that the debt had not yet been paid, thoigh Mr. Johnson still has the notes as evidence of the existence of the same. The wateh story was also disproved, it being es- tablished ~that the watch was pur- chased by the members of Camp- bell's Iowa church and that the only connection that Johnson had with the mat- ter was to take the money and make the purchase during one of his trips to this city. After having purchased the watch with the money to subscribed Mr. Johnson turned the same over to the preacher, who in turn gave it t0 his wife. The piano story was even thinner than the one concerning the watch The instrument was bought by the preacher of & firm in Council Bluffs and Mr. Johnson was merely called in to give his opinion with reference to the value. During the whole of the trial there was not a line of testimony to indicate that Mr. Johnson had ever been upon Intimate terms with the woman, even she not daring to come into court and tes- tify to the allegations made in the deposi- tlons, notwithstanding the fact that she was in Lincoln during the whole of the trial, There was no evidence tending to show that Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Campbell had ever taken the moonlight rides which it was claimed they had enjoyed together, Mr. Johngon has no hesitancy in denouncing the prosecution as a blackmail, and in stating this he has detalled the manner in which he was Induced to settle prior to the filing of the pet'tion. When the attempt to settle failed he was induced to have a church trial that the matter might be kept quiet. This proposition he rejected, saying that he had committed no crime and was willing to trust his interests and rights to a court and jury. Even after this it was shown that Mr. John- son was. hounded, and that some of those Who were prosecuting him tr'ed to induce him to go to Lincoln in order to bring on a settlement outside of the courts, that the whole affalr could be kept quict, During the trial there were no witnesses | Who testifi=d to indiscreet acts upon the part | of Mr. Johnson, every one, even the wit- nesses for the prosecution, declaring that he Was a man of irreproachable character. ng Jud Eller, Ex-County Judge Eller Is going to have & lawsuit on his hands in a very short time, Ever since Rller retired from the office his Buccessor has been endeavoring to ge settlement with him without sucoess: Es- tates which had been closed up by Eller are still short on cash, which he was supposed | to have turned over to Judge Baxter but which he failed to do. Judge Baxter has reported the matter to tho cownty commi sloners, showing that Eller owes in the aggregate at least $6,000 (0 hoirs in estates that were settled during his administratio or that of his predecessor, Judge Shields. In several instances money which was turned over to Eller by Shields was not paid to the helrs by Eller nor returned by him 10 his succesor, Judge Baxte Judge Baxter has made several reports on the matter to the commissiuners, and they have referred the cases to the county torney. That officlal has not seemed dis- posed to do much in the case, but has recom- mended that the matter be left to litiga- tion between Eller and the representatives of the interested estates, This would neces- | sitate the starting of more than a score of | suits, and would result in almost endless | litigation. Some of the commissioners have | interested themselves in the matter and have about decided to employ special counsel to commence action against Eller, in the name of the county, covering all estates involved.

A lot of claims for work done by con- tractors on school work were presented and referred to various eommittees, The superintendent of buildings reported that the plumbing at the Dodge school was in very bad condition and needed immediate attention. The matter was referred to the committee on buildings and property for In- vestigation. A petition from property owners at Gibson asked that the vacant room at the son &chool house be occupled, in order to save the children in that vicinity the long walk to the Bancroft school. This was re- terrad to a committee and the superintend- ent of schools. A communication from Chris Hartman | called attention to the fact that a room in the basement of the High school building was being used as ‘a carpenter shop, contrary to the provisions of the polcy dnder which the insurance was held. He stated that un- | less the objectionable feature was removed it was very doubtful whether the insurance could be collected in case of loss. The secre- tary was directed to notify Mr. Hartman that | the shop would be rembved, | On motion of Plerson a tpecial committee was appointed to consider all pending claims of the Holbrook & Kane company and report at a future meeting.

The structure is in a dilapidated condition, and the plumbing is badly in need of repair, but the sanitary conditions are not such as to warrant the opinion that they were wholly responsible for the fever. Dr. Saville says that all the patients are now in a fair way to recover, and that all danger of further contagion is past, ki s Settled b ead or Tall, Three elections contests were decided in the county clerk’s office yesterday afternoon.

They are theoretically the best, they are practi- cally the most economical, and they are ar- tistically the most beautiful. Theory asserts the need of frames that shall be light, not porous, easily handled, very strong, washable and impervious decay. What better material than iron?
