One of the most pleasant functions of the scason was the banquet of the Knights of Columbus, given at Tler Grahd last night in honor of Rt, Rev. Thomas O'Gor- mun, bishop of Sloux Falls.

Who could have seen that the United States would be brought into close connection with the pope of Rome over questions of politics and rellgion? These results have followed. There was during the first year a great deal of agitation among many Catholies concerning this unprecedented movement. There were some who imagined Uncle Sam was going to Rome to browbeat Leo XIIL Some made public announcement of fears, some expressed confidence in the pope's diplomacy, forgetting that when the pope fakes under consideration a matter that atter becomes a reserved case which should not be touched upon till the pope decides. From Rome came a desire to come into contact with Washington, to discuss these questions. The cardinal secretary of state wrote a letter to Archbishop Ireland asking him If it were not possible to discover America’s idea in regard to these matters. The archblshop thought such a meeting was Justifiabl The letter to Archbishop Ireland met a letter from him relating to & conversation with President McKinley d Becretary Root, asking a similar ques- tion. .

They became the property of the United States, and the government wanted to give deeds and get rid of the property. Questions arising from this had fo be settled in the islands. There were many charitable and educational trusts—the funds in the hands of the crown of Spain. vernment functions were administered by church authorities. The United States asked for a sifting of these and this had to_be settled on the islands Then there is the question of the lands.

She was led quickly into Oaptain Mostyn's office lest she sud- | denly change her mind. To the captain and other witnesses, Bertha told the story of her latest theft, relleving Mrs, Robinson of Galesburg, 1., of a valuable diamond brooch. The prisoner admitted that she met her victim on the train January 28, while en route to Chi- cago, and while in the tpilet room assisting her in putting on her jacket, stole the gem.

Briggs told about arriving at the saloon of Anton Bazarr at 7 o'clock on the night of February 7 and finding Rezek on the floor, with a doctor bending over him. Chiet Briggs sald that the first question he asked was “Who committed the crime?” In reply to this question he was told that Pat Shea was the guilty party. In reply to turther questions the chief said that he went to the Shea residence for the puprposo of investl Further, he said that upon arriving at the house Mrs. Shea sald her husband was vielting neighbors. The chief stated that he found Shea next door own residence and placed him under While driving to the station the chief said that Shea admitted doing the cutting, but said it was done in self-defense. Dr. E. L. Delanney described the wounds on the head and breast of Rezek. This testimony was of little import as compared with that of Dr. Slabaugh, who was one of the physicians who performed the autopsy. Dr. Slabaugh explained in a technical man- ner the cause of death, making his deduc- tions from the post mortem examination. Aceording to Dr. Slabaugh death was caused by a knife stab just over the heart. One of the features brought out by County Attorney English was the fact that Shea had not complained of feeling ill prior to the time he was taken to the county jall. Now it is asserted that he Is too 11l to attend the coroner's inques While the verdict of the coromer's jury will not necegsarily influence the county attorney, it ls expected that it will have eome little Influence with the court in the matter of binding Shea for trial in the district court.

William Seager, as the complaint reads, of South Omaha. It was complaint that Willlam Seager brother John did upon a certain date “load up and carry away and convert to thelr own use one bridge owned by the eity of South Omaha.” After hearing all the talk of the attorneys the judge declared William Seager guilty and imposed a fine of $25 and costs. The bridge that Seager fs supposed to have stolen was a portion of the roadway to the Emergency hospital. The fact that the bridge was removed did mot prevent the officials of Douglas county from con- veying patientd to the hospital.
