Mina Page's attorney, Colonel Daily, put In all yesterday afternoon seeking to prove that his client was Insane, as an excuse for her circulating bogus coins In this city and Omaha. 1In the morning the trial of her case was commenced in the federal court. The only two witnesses on behalf of the gevernment were the secret service officer Who worked up the case and a young man with whom Mrs. Page, it is alleged, entered into a scheme by which the coin was to be scattered broadcast. According to the story told by the latter, Mrs. Page handsd him five bogus dollars’ one day, telling him to cireulate them and give her half the money as her share of the profits. Later on she gave him four more, supposing he had put the others where they would do the most good. And o he had, for instead of ex- changing them for good money he had taken them to the United States officials, by which shrewd move he was enabled to look for- ward to a few day's witness fees without running the risk to which he would be sub- Jected if he put the coins fnto circulation. When Mrs. Page was first arrested she told the officers that ehe got the coins from Mrs, Barrett, the mother of the notorious band of brothers, all of whom have been either hung or sent to the penitentiary. She described minutely the place where the bogus money was kept, and acting on her directions the ret service officials went on a mining ex- pedition in Mrs. Barrett's door vard. As a result they secnred 167 of the bad colns. Mrs. Barrett was then arrested and will be tried at the next term of federal court in Omaha. everal witnesses were summoned by Mrs, Page's attorney yesterday for the purpose of showing her insanity. The case was not fin- ished at he hour of evening adjournment. A rather amusing scene occurred morning session while bottleggers we ing arraigned. District Attorney Fullen called the name of Jensen Gunderson, and, as a man arose just outside the railing, com- menced to read the indictment to him in the usual way. As he proceeded the eyes of the man outside the railing commenced to bulge from their sockets. The reading had not pro- gressed very far untll some of the petit Jurors saw there was a mistake and tried to get the attention of the district attorney The man who was standing up was not Gun- derson at all, but one of the petit jurors whose name somewhat resembled that of the alleged bootlegger. The surprise of the man when he supposed the grand jury had gotten onto something in connection with his career was somewhat large, ‘ounterfeliing Stone Was Obstreperous. Fred Stone, a colored man, the other night when he got on board a motor re- fused to pay h's fare and no amount of coaxing or threatening on the part of the conductor, D. R. Hughey, could induce him to reconsider his proposition. At the corner of Twenty-first street and Avenue A Hughey ordered him to leave the train. He jumped at Hughey, landed a large, black fist in Hughey's face and then, drawing a revolver, threatened to periorate Hughey's skin. Yes- terday Hughey saw Stone on the street and poirted him out to an officer, who arrested him. A charge of assault with Intent to do great bodily injury was preferred against him and the case will come up for a hearing in police court this morning. The Hardman piano wins many friends. Hud Her Husl The home of Jacob LeMasters, the driver of the mail wagon, who lives on Harrison street, was the scene of a domestlc broil last evening. According to the story told by Mrs. LeMasters, she went (o the Salyation army meeting and it was rather later in elosing than ler husband thought it ought to be. When she came home he took her to task in vigorous language, and the upshot of it all was that he put her out of the house, skinning her side and bruising her consid. erably in the operation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct, 2.—The defense in the Durrant case did today that which it has often urged the prosecution to do. At- torney Deuprey called to the stand fitty-nine members of the class to whom Dr. Cheney lectured on the afterncon of April 4 and asked each one if he answered to Durrant's name at the roll call. Every answer was in the negatitve. Attotrney Deuprey went farther and asked cach student if he knew of any member of the class who had an- swered to Durrant’s name. Not one of the witnesses had any information upon the sub- ject. Of the students summoned to the stand not one knew whether Durrant was at the lecture room in Cooper college on the day that Blanche Lamont was murdered or not. Nelither could they recall to mind any other student who was there. It s expected that the remaining fourteen members of the class will be called to the stand tomorrow. While the step taken by the defense to- day in calling Durrant’s classmates to the stand is gencrally regarded as a bold move it cannot be said that it resulted to the material advantage of either side. The testimony of the fifty-nine witnesses who were placed on th: stand was important in so for as it went to refute the conten- tion of the prosecution that somebody clse answered to Durrant’s name on the day of the murder. On the other hand the prosecution con- tends that the testimony Is unimportant, inasmuch as seventy-three students might give satisfactory evidence for the defens while the seventy-fourth member of the , if h2 could be found, would give the ence that the prosecution so much de- Great stress laid by both sides today on the memory of the witnesses as to the “individual students who attended the lecture. While the prosecution showed that not one of the students who were present on the stand remembered seeing Durrant at the lecture, th> defense brought out the fact that the witnesses did not remember ar other students who were present. Today testimony, therefore, resulted in no material advantage to either side. Ernest McCullough, a civil engineer, testi- fled with regard to the dimensions and in- terior arrangement of Oppenheim's pawnshop. The object of the testimony is supposed to have been to show that Oppenheim, who is near sighted, could not have possibly iden- tified the man who is said to have tried to pawn one of Blanche Lamont's rings. The trial will be resumed tomorrow. REPLIES TO PASTOR GIBSON. One of the attorneys of th Durrant case, A. W. _ Thompson has consented in the light of the remarks made public by Rev. J. George Gib- son, to outline the facts and theories which caused Eugene Deuprey in his opening stat ment to throw suspicion upon the pastor of Emanuel church, and to intimate to the jury that reasonable’ doubt which the defense wishes to show would point toward the same gentleman. The defense does not like Mr. Gibson's re- marks at all. In the first place Durrant's lawyers say that the pastor's assertion that Durrant considered him guilty was entirely uncalled for, as Durrant never expressed himselt on the subject and would not have declined the pastoral hand had it been ex- tended to him at any time since his arrest. The theory of Mr. Gibson's guilt comes en- tirely from the lawyers and they are glad to stand by their opinions. The first suspicions of the defense in re- gard to the matter arose during the prelimi- nary examination from Mr. Gibson's own tes- timony. 1t was in regard to the Minnie Wil- liams case that the first doubts arose. In his testimony, the defense states, Mr. Gib. son made many admissions which looked queer and some denials that looked more queer. According to his own story he was in his study from 6 until 7:30 on the night of the Willlams murder. At the latter hour he left his study and walked to Dr. Vogel's, & distance of three blocks, arriving there shertly before 8 o'clock. It oceurred to Dur- rant's attorneys that this was slow time. Later Dr. Gibson modified his _testimony, stating that he arrived at the Vogel resi- denco a reasonable time after 7:30. But ac- cording to Mrs. McVey, they point out, Miss Williams, if she went directly to the church must have arrived there at about the same time. The conclusion is obviohs—the two were there alone for an hour and a half and their theory is that, the murder committed, the perpetrator went to the Vogel soclal and enjoyed himself. ANOTHER STRONG POINT. Another point dwel’. upon by the defense is the fact that the lock of the library door was pried oft, and by the pastor's chisel The forcing they like to talk about. Both Durrant and King had keys to the lock, therefore the former would not have forced it. The person who forced the lock did not have a Key to it they argue, One of their dramatic points is that Gib- son by his own admission was the last person known to have been in the church Friday night, and_the first one on Sunday morning. In 'the Lamont case they have & new ground for suspicion which has never been made public and which did not appear in the preliminary examination. This is the fact hitherto unknown, but which the defense expects to prove by one or more competent unimpeachable witnesses, that Blanche La- mont had intended to address the prayer mecting on the evening of April 3. It seems that on Sunday evening preceding Blanche Lamont's disappearance she remarked at the meeting of the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor, which met before even- ing service, and at which Miss Lamont was a faithful attendant, that she was golng to speak at the prayer meeting on April 3 on the subject of “My Dual Life,” and wished to consult her pastor on the subject. That sho did not see the minister on Monday or Tuesday the defense can prove. They do not expect to show that she visited his study on Wednesday, but they can prove by the young ladies who overheard her that she in- tended to consult him and they can also show that Wednesday afternoon was her first op- portunity. —_—— BRAYTON IVES ON JUDGE JENKINS, Declares that Jurist Did Not Treat Hix Interests Falrly, TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 2.—Brayton Ives, president of the Northern Pacific, will spend tomorrow here. In an Interview tonight re- garding today's proceedings he sald: “Judge Hanford's actions marks the termination of a recelvership which in many respects is unique in the history of American railroads, Formed as it was to perpetuate the influence of the wreckers, it secured, or at all events it seemed to the public to have sccured, the friendly protection of the United States court, Without intending to speak disrespectfully of Judge Jenkins, I must say that whenever we appeared in his court as petitioners for reliet we seemed to find ourselves at the outset in the position of wrong-doers instead of sufferers of wrong. It would not be proper for me to make any reflection on Judge Jen- kins' court within the last week, as I have no doubt he acted according to his sense of right. I must say, however, that if he had wished to shield a party of men charged with wrong doing he could not have taken a more efficient course. I believe, however, that Judge Hanford's action today will result in the near future in harmony of actlon among the various interests. In fact, some degree of harmony Is absolutely necessary, as it will be impossible for these Interests to continue longer in their condition. Person- ally I feel that the interests which I repre- sent are Indebted to the court for its prompt, courteous and just action.” Lawyers say this is the first time that a body of receivers for a large property sus- tained by a court have ever been removed on petition of the stockholders or bondholders interested. e No Hope for Mahone.

INTERESTING KAN FESTIVA Lindsberg to e the Scofte 6f an In- teresting Bvent, LINDSBORG, Kan., Oct. 2e=(§pecial)—To the average Amerlcan citizen 1t mag be some- what of a surprise to learn thht the beautitul Smoky Hill valley in central Kansas is set- tled chiefly by Swedish-Americans. This is true, especially of Saline of McPherson coun- tles. Here are a great number of Swedish settlements, the largest and most important of which is Lindsborg, situated in the very heart of a rich agricultural country, with Swedish congregations on the north, south, east and west. It is but natural that the beautiful clty of Lindsborg should become the religlous and intellectual center, not only of the Swedish-Americans, but of the Smoky Hill valley, but of the Swedish-Americans of the entire state of Kansas. In 1881 Dr. Carl A. A. Swensson, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church at this place, founded Bethany college, an institution which now ranks among the best in the state. The attendance has grown from twenty-seven the first year to 444, In the main college build- ing is & large chapel with a $3,000 pipe organ. In this chapel the “Messiash,” and other grand concerts are held every year. These entertainments have grown so in popular favor that early last spring it was found nec- essary to think of erecting a large and more commodious building in order to meet the demand sof the institution. According the Ling auditorium was built. It is pronounced b yarchitects to be the finest and best equip- ped auditorium in Kansas. It fs circular in shape, measuring on the outside 344, The diameter fs 5,110 feet. The dome is thirty- eight feet. It has a seating capacity of 3,000, but 4,00 Ocan be accommodated without much inconvenience, The auditorium was built by a nassoclation, and Is to be handed over to the board of directors of Bethany college as soon as it has been paid for. 000 pipe organ, twenty feet high, twelfe and fen deep, has been secured at a nominal price from the Jackson Pipe Organ company of Wash- ington, Ia. On October 3 and 4 two great festivals will be held in the Auditorium. The money from the tickets sold will go to the building fund. , October 3, is Forefather's day. The ers of the day are Dr. Oleson, president of Augustana college and Theological semi Rock Island, Il.; Congressman An- drews of Hastings, Neb., 'and Hon. J. Raiph Burton of Abilene. Friday, October 4, is Patriotic day. The Swedish-Americans are in- tensely patriotic. They believe in Old Glory. This day wili be a grand event. President Cleveland has donated o largs flag for the occasion. Governor Morrill has also donated one, and King Oscar of Sweden and Norway has'donated a Swedish flag. The speakers Patriotia day will be Senator John J. Ingalls and Governor E. Morrill, A fine concert will be given on the evening of each day. The grand chorus consists of 300 volces; a male chorus of over forty ices. There will be also a ladies’ chorus and a children’s chorus, The Military band consists of seventy-five pleces. Reduced rates have been secured on the railroads and an unnsually large attendance is anticipated. It will be the greatest gath- ering of its kind ever held in Kansas. L Mins Flagler Will Be Brought to Trial WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—District Attorney Birney said today that he would bring the case of Miss Flagler, daughter of General agler, chief of the ordnance bureau of the army, who killed a negro boy named Green while he was stealing fruit from the tree, before the grand jury, now in session. Judge Cole today charged this grand jury to report on the condition of the government printing office and other: public buildings roported to be dangerous to the sufety of the employes. .

Reynolds, president of the State As- soclation of Miners, has tendered his resigna- tion to the state council, for the reason, it is said, that he is opposed to strikes and deprecates the action of the miners in_the Boone district in striking in the face of an accepted agreement. D. A. Kent, formerly professor of agricul- ture in the agricultural college at Ames, is to have a clear title to Mud Lake, in Calhoun county, which he drained and made into a farm of 1,300 acres, entering it as swamp land. He had many difficulties about the land, but the patent from the general gov- erument to the state arrived yesterday, and the title will be in his possession. The attorney for Hamil, the convicted murdered of Conductor Redpath, filed a mo- tion to continue the case until next term in the supreme court. The case has been ap- pealed, but the arguments have noe been submifted. Hamil and his partner, Weems were to have hung August 26, lastf, but the notice of appeal acted as a stay of execu- tion. p Coal Miners’ BOONE, Ia,, Oct. The backbone of the coal miners strike here seems broken this evening, after two days of idlences.
