The supreme court has just overruled a declsion of the Pottawattamie county district court, and Dr. C. 0. Hood, formerly of Inde- pendence, Kan.,, now of Perry, Okl., will have another show for his white alley. Hood claimed a judgment for $30,000 damages against the Northwestern Railway company for personal injuries sustained in a wre at Elmhu 1889. There | not much doubt tained some injuries, but the rallway com- pany brought in several people who had known him, and they swore that his reputa- tion for veracity was not very good, and that he had been mixed up in a woman scrape of some kind. The showing made was so bad that the jury returned a verdict for the rallway company. Jacob Sims, who that he sus- ap- peared as attorney for Hood, states that on another trial he ‘will be able to introduce plenty of people to swear to his good reputa- tlon.

SLOT STOPPING THE MACHINES, Mayor Clenver Sa Money Muast Sto ut Cigars Go. Mayor Cleaver issued an order yesterday to the chief of police which will have some effect upon the nickel in the slot industry, although it was not designed to blot it out of existence, and will not have that effect. The order was directed at the machines which were played for a money consideration, and the chief of police was instructed to have these all abolished. They were hustled out of sight at a great rate, and for a whole day very little, If any, playing with the festi slot was done in Council Bluffs, It was supposed at first that the plied to all slov machines alike, those where the machine gives an a fixed price, and tho element of chance Is concerned, ' Later in the day, however, cither the mayor changed his mind, or the first ordar was misunderstood, for it was given out that the machines which pald in cigars or other mcrchandise might stay, but that the others, in which a cash prize is given, must go. Ot course I don’t expect to shut the boys out of shaking dice,”” said the mayor yester- y; “there fs no more chance in a dic me than in lots of business ventures we into every day. ey may win, or lose, and that's all. But I propose to stop this thing of playing for money, if such a thing Is pos- ible.” The mayor's move was undoubtedly the re- sult of the recent prosecution of J. L. Blodg- ett, the proprietor of one brand of the ma- chines. It was commonly understood that it Blodgett should be convicted of the various charges that were made against him, he would immediately play even by commencing similar cases agalnst ‘all the men who had the machines in their places, But he was discharged, and all the patrons of the Indus- try are now breathing more easily. NATIONAL CIRCUIT Crack Clays B Men Will Ride at Unfon Park Next Week. ‘There will be a race meeting this month, the 11th and 12th, given under the auspices of the Ganymede Wheel club, at the Union Driving park. Yesterday afternoon H. E. Grimm received a letter from F. Ed Spooner of the Associated Cycling press in response to the telegram sent by him a few days ago. The letter stated that the following class B riders had authorized him to enter their names in all the races: Edward C. Bald of Buffalo and W. F. Sims of Phila- delphia of the Columbia team; J. P. Bliss of Chicago and Tom Cooper of Detroit of the Monarch team; Charles M. Murphy of Brook- % Gombling for order ap- excepting article of L, RAC lyn of the Humber team; Earl Kiser of Dayton of the Stearns team; C. S. Wells and W. A, Terrill of San Francisco of the Syracuse team. e also hoped Cabanne, Titus, Brown and Righy would be present, and thought they would, although they had not authorized him to enter their names. “All these felloy said, “are in splen- did_condition and better races cast for some time. Get me a rate at good hotel for twenty persons and engage rooms for a party of fitteen. I am now working on Couiter, Gardiner and Zeigler, and think they will be with you. They are wavering.” In accordance with the promize made by the racing board, arrangements were at once commenced for a race meeting, and although there is only a little over a week between now and the time set, there is not the slightest doubt that if the weather Is good the meet will be even more suc. cessful than that last year.

Y. M. €. A SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8.—The trial of Theodore Durrant was replete with sensa- tlon (oday. Henry J. McCoy, general secre- tary of the Young Men's Clristian associa- tion, Who was cited for contempt last Mon- day for telling Juror Truman that i he did not hang Durrant the peopie would hang him, was fined $250, with the alternative of five days In the county jail. During the cross- examination of a witness summoned by the defense the prosecution developed the fact that a student at Cooper Medical college who did not attend the lecture deilvered by Dr. Cheney on the afternoon of April 3 was recorded as present in the roll call book. This testimony is of the greatest importance to the prosecution from the fact ‘that it shows the unreliability of the call book in which Dur- rant was recorded as present on the day that Blanche Lamont was murderel. The last sensation of the day was.an order made by tho court committing Miss Carrie Cunning- ham, a newsraper reporter, to the county Jail for refusing to answer 4 question which the defense desired to ask to impeach the testimony of Mrs. Leak, who eaid she did not tell Miss Cunningham that ¢he saw Durrant and Miss Lamont enter Emanucl church on the afternoon of April 3. Miss Cunningham testifled that Mrs. Leak did pot. tell her what she had seen, but when askef to reveal th source of her information the witness d clined to answer. An order was made com- mittng e Withess 10 e maunty doil for ontempt, but, on motion of the defense, it was made to go into effect tomorrow morn- ing, when Miss Cunningham will be given another chance {o answer the question, MORE STUDENTS ON THE STAND. The defense placed on the stand today elght more studeats who attended tae lecture de- livered ‘by Dr. Cheney on the afternoon of April 3, to testity as to whether they had an- swered to Durrant's name at roll call. Each witness gaye a negative answer. With the oxception of six all the members of the class e becn asked this question. One of the students has died siuce April 3, and the pros- ecution has been unable to obtain the attend- ance of the other five in court. The prose- cution limited the cross-examination in each case to asking If the witness saw Durrant at the leoture. Not a student was found who remembered having seen the defendant. The by Durrant at the time, Attorney Deuprey called the attention of tie, court. to the fact that Robert N. Lynch, | brivate sceretary of Rev. J. G. Gibion, was | in the court room, and asked to have him re- moved. The court s2id Lynch could not be removed unless he were subpoenaed as a wit- ness, when he cculd be excluded like all other witnesses. A subpoena was at once made out for him and he was ordered to leave the room. Lynch protested that he knew noth- Ing about the case, but the court insisted. F. 8. Field, a member of a local wholesale Jewelry firm, was called to testify with re- gard to the grade and quality of the ring worn by Blanche Lamont, which is said to have been presented at Pawnbroker Oppen- heim's shop. He eaid the ring was of a common kind, but when asked by the prose- cution to compara it with a similar ring in- troduced by the defense an objection was sustained, The defense endeavored to show by F. W. Ross, a student at Cooper Medical college, that on the afternoon that Blanche Lamont was murdered he and Durrent took a walk from the college to the vicinity of the Golden Gate. Ross remembered that he and Dur- rant had taken such a walk, but said he could not fix the date. It is expected that the de- fense in the Durrant case will take up the matter of handwriting on the wrapper in which Blanche Lamont's rings big or ine? saving ac savings as the You're clipping coupons when you use Pearline. and paid ¢ satisfactory way of savingthan by washing and cleaning with Peari- Saves exertion and hard work and drudgery for you yourself—tyhil clothes and time and health. to every wise and thrifty woman, Millions % Pearlin 2 Isn't every saving, little, a_coupon that's' clipped And wheye's a more That saves on both sides. t's tual money to your pocket, in It's By just such se that genuine coupans come 4 COUNCIL BLUFFS, All kinds of Dyein; and Cleaning done i the highest style of the art, Faded and stalned ' fabrics made to look as good as new.

Watson, pop list, for congress, In the Tenth district by majority of 6,141. The election yesterday was one of the quietest ever held in Georgla, a striking contrast to the one held months ago. At that time three prominent men were killed In the streets of Augusta and petty rows occurred throughout the e eral counti Watson claimed that t election was unfair and Black, in defense to Watson's views, resigned. The special election yesterday was honest In every sense. New registration laws were respected in most counties and the majority for Black shows that the district Is democratic in a clean ballot. Watson lost in most of the countles from his vote of 1894, He fell behind over 100 votes in his own county. R e Murderer Tries to Commit § ST.

By this time the smoke had spread into all the cells and created a panic among the other prisoners, who set up a great cry to be released. As the jail is fire proof, the fire did not get beyond the cell in which it started. s aies Dl Miners ny Go on a Strike.
