The naming of Plattsmouth by the state by Crafton Goes Free. C. 8. Crafton, the alleged diamond robber, has come and gone, Justice Cook holding that there was no conclusive evidence to warrant his being turned over to the grand jury. He was given a preliminary examination yes- terday morning, all the trainmen and J."W. Wombold, the victim, being present. The evidence was lacking in several material particulars, The prosccution was unable to show that the theft had really taken place, because no one saw it done. If the ciamond was stolen, no one could swear that it had taken place in any particular county, so that the Pottawattamie courts cculd not ac- quire jurisdiction. Circumstantial evidence was ail the prosecution had to go on, and so the courts discharged the defendant. Howard is to have his hearing tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, that time having been agreed upon as most convenient for the rail- way men who are to testify. There is a strong probability of s case going the same way as Crafton’s, and for the same reason, in spite of the fact that his actions after the alleged robbery were such as to lead to the conclusion that he was guilty. Some little criticism was indulged in on account of the manner in which the prose- cution was managed. No attorney was pres- ent to look after the interests of the county, and the prosecution was left entirely in the hands of the polica and marshal’s force. These gentlemen are well qualified for the work of their respective departments, but none of them has ever had a diploma from the law department of the State university, and can- not be expected to look after the legal side of law suits as well as the county aftcrney. In this instance, there is some doubt as to whether the presence of the county attorney would have changed the result, inasmuch as the state had a verv roor case, from a tech- nical standpoint. It “has been customary, however, to allow casss to take care of them- selves until the preliminary examination has been had, and in thls way many a hardened criminal has been able to secure a discharge when the advice of a competent attorney might have sufficed to hold him. The taxpayers, who foot the bills for arrest- ing and prosecuting persons charged with crimes, are beginning to wake up over this matter, and a protest is likely to be made before long in a way that will command the attention of the authorities, Plattsmonth" died at_her after a_ brief Boyd was nd the schools $10,407,835.28 TOtRIRN L e EEN furnit shitems et o) . $12,04,718.23 UITE FAVORABLE.

Then the speaker went ahead and detailed some of his cbservatfons and experiences in Chicago, St. Leuis and other large cities before the packers were intereferred with by local inspection law: They _would butcher anything. He had seen in Chicago cattle hauled away from the yards in hos- pital wagons stricken with Texas fever and slaughtered and the meat delivered by the packers to the retailers within a few hours. These facts reached the European consumers and they quit buying, shut out our meat by rigid laws. This called for national insp tion, which the packers favored, but favore: only for the benefit of their European trade. He denounced the federal Inspections as a farca o the broadest charagter.

A few days ago this paper publised a let- ter from a lady in Wichita, Kan., who owes her health solely to this greatest of reme- dies. Yesterday a contemporary printed the fol- lowing letter from C. M. Baldwin, a prom- inent 'citizen of Washington, Kan. It proves the vast superiority of Paine’s celery compound over ordinary sarsaparillas, nervines and bitters. Mr. Baldwin writes: “Last winter, after wrestling a week with an attack of grip, it left me full of aches and pains, nervous, tired and unable to get a good night's slecp—in fact, I felt played out all the time. I began taking Paine's celery compound, and must say that it did wonders for me. 1 began to improve from the first dose, and in less than a week 1 could sleep all right and get up in the morning feeling refreshed. I can truth- fully say that it is the best medicine that I ever took and it did all that you claim it will do.” A Topeka paper is authority for the state- ment that in Kansas alone Painc's celery compound has already cured more than six thousand people of rheumatism, and it men- tions the case of Mrs. J. B. Smith of South Haven as a fair Instance, Mrs, Smith tells her own instructive story: “My feet and limbs were %0 bad with rheu- matism I could not walk without pain for about three *months, 1 doctored with a physiclan, but did not seem to get much better, 'One of my neighbors sent me a copy of the Courier of Health, recommend- ing Painc's celery compound. I got a bot~ compound all the praise. And F. A, Rader of Manhattan, Kan., whoso picture appears above, writes to the point as follows: “I have used Vaine's celery compound for general deblity, wakefulness and loss of ap- petite. The second bottle brought the de- sired results and has restored me to health, My wife s now using the compound for a similar ailing, brought on by nursing the baby.” In Omala, Neb., many cures have been reported. Willlam L. Mardis, manger of the Coliseum building, is a man whose ters rible suftering with rienmatism was known all over the city. His remarkable cure he states in u letier published in the Worlde Herald: “I was taken down with rheumatism the 13th of January, 1893, and a physician got me out of bed ‘n fiffeen days, but I was then taken down again. I sent for the same doctor and ho did the best he knew how, but I kept getiing worse until I could not move any of my limbs. I just gave up all hope. 1" did mot take any more medi- cine until my wife saw Paine’s celery com= pound advertised in the Omaha World Herald and she said, ‘try a bottle,” “At that time I could not move myselt under any circumstances and 1 was swollen in all my limbs and had terrible pains in my breast and lmbs at the same time, I commenced using It Sunday noon, and was able to get up and out of bed the Wednesday following, and was able to attend to busincss in_thirteen days.” Paine’s celery compound makes people welll Try it. —~COUNCIL BLUFF8— STEAM DYE WORKS in Crete, and who met Stevens on the strect in Chicago and talked with him, noticing nothing wrong, SEEN Herself.

The companics rely, however, more on the testimony of a certain Mr. Hamilton, who, the defense declare, will testify that he met Stevens face to face in San Francisco ten days after he was lost sight of in Chicago. Hamilton, It is said, will also testify that he talked with Stevens, who ap- peared in perfect health, but old:r than he was when he had known him in their home town, Crete, Counsel today showed the jury that Stevens had become the sole owner of the Bank of Crete with the exception of some $600 in stock, held by his wife, The capital stock of the bank was $50,000, but $38,000 of this was fictitious, as only $12,000 was paid up. The state banking board had been after him as his cash reserve was far below the limit. Neither had the bank complied with the law by publishing a financial statement, and, when pressed, had published a false state- meat to the world by saying that the entire capital stock of §50,000 Wad pald In. - This act was a felony, and laid him liable to imprisonment in the penitentiary. For such, and other reasons, counsel for the insurance companies claim that St:vens had good reasons for disappearing and encouraging a belief that he was dead.
