Just thirty-one years ago yesterday
Joseph Goldschmidl of this city first
saw the light of day and upon each re
curring anniversary, "Joe" has fit
a. i i . i .
Tingiy ctieorjiea so auspicious an
event. Iheiefore, test evening a few
friends were invited to commemorate
Mr. Goldschmidt's advent into another
year of usefulness, and the choice
spirits gathered around the festive
board d-monstrnted their appreciation
of the occasion by their apparently
earnest effort to fill a long-felt want.
After u vigorous and unremitting
onslaught upon the delicious ard sub
stantial viards which had been artis
tically and mofet temptingly arranged
upon the tables by Mis. Goldschmidt,
each guest rested for a few minutes
from his gastronomic labors aod, look
ing complacently at his immediate
neighbor, allowed D. B. Smith to arise
in sober dignity to air the views of the
"assembled gathering." In the mid
dle of an eloquent peroration, he made
a sudden descent upon a package of
enormous proportions and, with an ex
hibition of wondeiful strength And
agility, handed the parcel to the as
tonished host, together with the
guests' wishes of many happy returns
of that day. Joe was compelled to
open the package, which, after a vast
quantity of packing had been removed,
revealed a beautiful silver tea set. As
soon as the recipient recovered his
breath, he expressed his thanks most
becomingly, and the bottles were
again passed arounJ.
A little past midnight the guests
departed with feelings of warm appre
ciation of Mr. Goldschmidt'a hospital
ity.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ilennings of
Louisville were amontr the guests.

Was Wreck Victim.
The mysterious disappearance of
Emil Pressler from the Northwestern
depot at Council Bluff about a year
ago, mention of which was made in
Tuesdays Ne'VS, has iinallv teen
cleared up, as will be seen by the fol
lowing dispatch in today V papers from
Sidney. Neb :
-The fate of Emil Pressler, the
young man who has been missing since
last January, 1899, and whose disap
pearance created so much excitement
in the east, is no longer a mystery. A
silver watch case found near the scene
of the Sunol train wreck shows he
name of Pressler engraved en the in
side of the case, while on the outside
is the name 'Harriette Dan ne use.
That Pressler was a victim of tee
Sunol wreck is now plainly evident by
this silent testimony. The charred
body now lies buried in the Sidney
cemetery awaiting word from the rela-

We Lear good reports from Judge
Douglass. Parties who have had busi
ness at the county court say that one
would think that the judge had al
ways been there. They always say
that Mrs. Basse, the efficient clerk of
the court, fills the place better than
any one possibly could. Her years of
experience in that office have given
her an insight of the business which
cannot be acquired in one term. The
county commissioners recognized her
ability and raised her salary to J700 a

PROF. BLAIR RELEASED
.Judge Areher Finds Nothing In
Evidenee to Prove Charge.
The Defendant Calls In a Number of
Prominent People to Prove tbe Good
Conduct of Both Himself and. Alia
Brown Otber Happening of Local
Interest.
From Thursday's Daily
The hearing of tbe testimony for the
defense in the cae of the State vs
Charles A. Blair, charged with adul
tery, was taken in police court this
morning Mr. Blair conducting his
own case, while County Attorney J. L.
Root appeared for the prosecution.
There was another large crowd pres
ent to hear the testimony, and the fol
lowing witnesses testified: Dr. W. A.
Humphrey, J. L. Hoot, Frank Dunbar,
Harvey Ilolloway.S. P. HolIoway,John
Mockinhaupt, H. K Dunbar, Roy Mc-
Kinney, Mrs. Dave Wellman, Mrs. B
Elson, Mrs. Harvey Holloway, Mrs.
Ida Dunbar and Miss Carrie Holloway.
The testimony of the witnesses went
mainly to show the good conduct of
Miss Brown acd Mr. Blair during
their stay at the Riiey, and was very
favorable to the defense.
Miss Brown was the principal wit
ness, ai.d, a cording to her testimony,
Professor Keys, the gentleman who
was here from Red Oak yesterday as a
witness for the state, hau made pro -
posals to her with a view of marriage,
and that owing to circumstances she
had refused his attentions. Miss
Brown had been '.-ailed home several
times, and while thtre. upon tbe sug
gestion of Mr. Keys, her parents had
insisted upon her remaining at Red
O ik, but she refused to do so; she fur
ther alleged that during one of her
visits at that placj this man Keys had
forcibly taken from her several letters
which Mr. Blair had written. These
letters were produced in court, and
their contents indicated that Mr. Blair
was seme what infatuated with her.
Miss Brown also stated that during
her last visit at Red Oak, a short time
ago. Keys again made a proposal to
marry her, and, upon her refusal, he
had threatened to bring about the
present prosecution against Blair, if
sufficient evidence could ba obtained
The pros, culion based its case mainly
upon the letters, which, in view of the
fact that Blair was a m irried man and
had a family down in Kansas City, it
was thought he was not showing proper
respect for tho marriage vows. How
ever, t was shown that family troubles
were existing, which would finally
terminate in h legal separation of the
parties.
After listening to all the le-itim!:i3'.
Judge Archer decided that there Lad
been nothing in the conduct of either
M Blair or Miss Browu which could
te called criminal in any sense of the
word, and he accordingly discharged
tho defendant.

J. E. Palmeter of Chicago. Th in
vention shows ingenuity enough to
warrant mro extended notice
As stueil then, the invention is
known as the 'joker truck.' It is so
constructed that the axle is in two
parts so that each car wheel travels
independently of the other. The advan
tage of this arrangement in going
around curves is obvious. The truck
itreif is set and braced with a number
of springs in a manner showing a
great amount of study and an excellent
knowledge of mechanical prir.ciDle

comment on the designs by local
railroad men varies, 6ome considering
the theory good but not believing it
practicable. Others contend it is en
tirely feasible and will work a ron lu-
tion in car building. Should tho lat

high road to become a millionaire. It
the invention justifies the claims made
