Joseph Martindale, who was arrested
last week and sent to Plattsmouth to
await trial on Satui day morning, relent
ed and plead guilty and was assessed a
line of $10 and costs. He only had part

remitted the ballance and permitted him
logo. After paying the expenses of
conducting him to Plattsmouth and pay
ing the other costs there is $4 to turn
into the school fund. Had he pleaded
guilt at first he would have gotten off
considerably lighter.
The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.
People are often much dissappointed
to find that their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like cramp colic
cholera morbus repuire prompt treat
ment, and have in many cases proven
fatal before medicine could be procured
or a physician summoned. The right
way is to keep at hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. No physician can pre
scribe a better medicine for these dis
eases. I5y having it in the house you
escape much pain and suffering and
all risk. Buy it now; it may pave life.

been an extensive one, but from the re

How to Test Eggs.
Since the pure food law has gone into
effect it is wrong to sell bad eggs. An
exchonge recommends the following
method to test egge:
"The process of testing is called
"candling." That is, the eggs are held
for a moment before a brilliant light
and in an instant the character of the
egg is revealed as good, bad, or very
bad. The good fresh egg is clear and
one can almost see through it, the bad
is dark and the very bad is very dark
and almost opaque. Any one can see
the difference and cast aside the bad
egg. It is essential to the safety of
the market and all concerned that eggs
be sound. " And the farmer or his wife
who takes to market bad eggs, is equally
guilty with the groceryman who sells
them to the customer, and is liable to
punishment under the pure food law. It
would be well for all to heed this mat- j
ter and in the future throw away all bad
eggs before coming to market.

healing household remedy is DeWitt's

bums, cuts, scratches, bruises, inset

U. D. HAYWOOD
IS ACQUITTED
Boise, Idaho, July 28. Into the bright
sunlight of a beautiful Sabbath morning
into the stillness of a city drowsy with
the lazy slumbers of a summer Sunday,
William D. Haywood, defendent in one
of the most noted trials involving con
spiricy and murder that the country has
ever known, walked today a free man,
acquitted of the murder of former Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg.
The probability of a verdict of acquit
tal in the case of the secretary-treasurer
and acknowledged leader of the West
ern Federation of Miners had been free
ly predicted since yesterday when Judge
Fremont Wood read his charge, which
was regarded as strongly favoring the
defense in its interpretation of the laws
of conspiracy, 'circumstancial evidence
and the corroboration of an accomplice
who confesses.
It was also freely predicted that in the
event of Haywood's acquittal the state
would abandon the prosecution of his
associates, Charles H. Moyer, the presi
dent of the federation, and George A.
Pettibone of Denver. Statements from
counsel and from Governor Gooding is
sued today dispel this view of the situa
tion. Governor Gooding said:
"The verdict is a great surprise to
me, and I believe to all citizens of Idaho
who have heard or read the evidence in
the case.
"I have done my duty. I have no re
gret as to any action I have taken, and
my conscience is clear. As long as God
gives me strength I shall continue my
efforts for government by law and for
organized society.
"The state will continue a vigorous
prosecution of Moyer and Pettibone and
Adams and of Simpkins, when the latter
is apprehended. There will be neither
hesitation nor retreat. "
Will Apply For Bail
Application will be made to Judge
Wood tomorrow morning to admit Moyer
and Pettibone to bail, and yet it was
said tonight that in the case of Moyer,
against whom the state is admitted to
have its weakest case, a favorable con
sideration would not be unexpected.
Not the least interesting of the com
ments made upon the verdict today was
that of Harry Orchard, the self-confess- j
ed murderer of Governor Steunenberg
and the witness upon whom the state
chiefly relied to prove its claim of a
conspiracy on the part of the Western
Federation of Miners. Wrhen told at
the state penitentiary that Haywood
had been acquitted, Orchard said:
"Well, I have done my duty. I have
told the truth. I could do no more. I
am ready to take my punishment that
may be meted out to me for my crime,
and the sooner it comes the better."
It was after being out for twenty-one
hours that the jury, which at first had
been divided, 8 to 4, and then seemed
deadlocked at 10 to 2, finally came to an
agreement shortly after the first faint
streaks of the coming day showed gray
above the giant hills which wall Boise to
the north and east. The weary, snow
bearded old bailiff who had kept an all
night vigil before the door of the jury
room was startled into action by an im
perative knock from within. Events mov
ed rapidly enough after this, and when
at last the principal actors in the trial
had been gathered into the court room
at a few moments before 8 o'clock the
white envelope handed by the foreman
to the jndge was torn open and the ver
dict read.
Tears in Haywood's Eyer
Tears welled to the eyes ot the man
who during the eighty days of his trial
had sat with stolid indifference written
upon his every feature at last the icy
armor he had thrown about himself with
the first day of jury selection had been
pierced and whatever the pent-up feeling
had been contained within was loosed.
Haywood's attorneys were firmly lifted
from their seats, and Judge Woods made
no effort to restrain them as they sur
rounded him to shake his hands and
shout aloud their congratulations. James
H. Hawley, leading counsel for the state
and O. N. Van Duyn, the prosecuting
attorney of the county in which former
Governor Steunenberg was assassinated.
sat gloomy and unspeaking in their
places. Senator Borah, who made the
closing plea for conviction, was not
present. Of the prisoner's counsel those
in the court room were Clarance Dar
row of Chicago, E. F. Richardson of
Denver and John F. Nugent of Boise.
The absentees from the defendent's
table included Edgar Wilson, the former
law pardner of Judge Wood, who pre
sided at the trial.
No member of the prisoner's family,
or any of his friends among the socialist
writers and the so-called labor jury, who
have been attending the trial, was in the
court room at the early hour the verdict
was rendered. The spectators' benches
were empty, but in the. doorway stood
Governor Frank Gooding, who has taken I
an active part in pressing the prosecu
tion of Haywood and his associates.
There was no demonstration other than
that made by the attorneys for the de
fense, and the court proceedings were
over, the prisoner had been discharged
and the jury dismissed for the term in
less than three mintes time.

DIED FROM
PERITINITIS
Miss Maude Moore, Sister of
Thomas and Reno Moore
Ahout 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
Tom Moore, an employe of the Journal
office, received word by telephone that
his sister, Miss Maude, was dangerously
ill and could not possibly survive. He
immediately notified his brother, Reno,
who is an employe in the Burlington
shops, and they departed for Silver City,
Iowa, on the Burlington train at 5: 13
last evening, going to Glenwood, and
hence by private conveyance in order to
reach the bedside of their baby sister as
soon as possible.
Last night about 11 o'clock we re
ceived a telephone message from Tom,
stating that his sister was dead and that
she passed away before he and his
brother, Reno, had reached her bedside,
and that the cause of her sudden demise
was that much dreaded affliction peri
tinitis. The deceased was 18 years of age,
and just in the bloom of sweet woman
hood. She was the baby of the family,
and the pride of father, mother, broth
ers and sisters, and her death is a very
hard blow to them all. The entire Jour
nal force deeply sympathise with the
entire family in their loss of a darling
daughter and a most lovable sister,
whose sudden taking away is irrepar
able, and especially to the father and
mother, whose household she made
happy with her sweet, gentle voice and
lovable manners. This is very heart
rendering, more especially .to Mrs.
Moore, because it is her baby and her
constant companion. The funeral was
occured Saturday.
The Charming Woman
Is not necessarily one of perfect form
and features. Many a plain woman
could never serve as an artists model,
possesses those rare qualities that all
the world admirss; neatness, clear eyes,
clean smooth skin, and that sprightli-
ness of step and action that accompany
good health. A physically weak woman
is never attractive, not even to herself.

More Trouble With His Eyes
David E. Rice has been having troub
with his eyes again and was compelled
to go to Omaha Saturday to have
them examined by the specialist, Dr.
Gifford, When he had the eyes operated
upon some time since and were pro
nounced as being well by many, he had
hopes that he was going to get along
without trouble with them, but when
ever he works at all hard the old trouble
recurs. Sometimes, he says, they are
so painful that he can hardly endure it.
He goes today to see if anything can be
done that will in any way relieve the
pain when he works and gets warm,
or that will prevent the trouble coming
back upon him.
