The interest keeps up in the trial of Kov.
Mr. Helmlck , cliargea with murder In the
second tioprco. YostorJay's proceedings
opened' with the recall of the witnesses Oli
ver and Hardman , for Bomo further slight
examination , but nothing of special Interest
was thus revealed.
The first , now witness of the day was ICnli-
her , n brother-in-law of Hardmun , who was
visiting at the lirruso of I lard in na the mcnt
of the Bliootlnp. The two heard the shot ,
and run to the scene , and found Holmtok
standing holding his horse and a revolver In
his hand. The witness testlllod mainly In
support of the state's theory that the night
was not so dark but that Helmlck could have
identified Palmor. Ho also testllled as to
what Ilolmlck said right after tlio shooting.
According to tils recollection Holmlck sola :
"If I didn't kill anybody I wish I had. "
Tliero wns sonio discussion as to allowing
Kallher to testify , the defense objecting on
tlio ground that they had no sulllclont no-
tieo of what tlio witness was ' to testify to.
Tlio state's ' attorney showed up n recent de
cision of the supreme court to support his
position , and this seemed to startle Judge
Ihorncll. Ho rom uric oil that ho should rule
In accordance with this decision , and that
ha did not claim to know inuru than tbo su *
prenie court , but still this recent decision
was just tlio onposito from tlftcon or moro
previous decisions of the supreme court , and
really annulled a portion of the statutes , ns
well us ran contrary to the practice of years.
After the vvltncss had testified the same re
quest to strike out' his testimony was re
newed. The witness had been asked as to
his employment.
"I'm keeping a restaurant. "
"An Iowa restaurant ! " asked Attorney
Sims , laying a prohibitory stress on "Iowa , "
and thus Intimating that thcro was a saloon
attachment.
The witness answered ' -Yes. "
Attorney McCabe then jumped up ana
asked to have tbo testimony of .this witness
stricken out. "Tho state has Imposed on us.
They gave us notice that they were colng to
Introduce this man ns an honest farmer. "
Bailiff McFndden's jack kmfo raoped
loudly to quiet the laugh which wont round.
Mrs. Porter , the mothor-in-law of Palmer ,
was introduced. Her testimony was to the
effect that the Ilov. Mr. Holtniek had inter
fered with the attentions being paid by
Palmer to her daughter , and sought
to break oft the match. Mr. Holiniek
was the pastor of the church of which she
was a member , and to which her daughter
belonged nlso. She thought that oven for a
pastor ho was interfering too freely In her
family matters , but had not told him so. She
admitted that at one of these family confer
ences ho was present at her own solicita
tion. She denied that she had opposed the
match , said she had never seen Palmer
drunk , denied that she had ever told certain
sisters of the church and Rov. Mr. Urewor
that she was ashamed of Palmer and that
ha was a worthless follow. She denied hav
ing signed a petition for Hov. Mr. Helimck's
return to Ncola as pastor.
Mrs. Palmer , the widow of the man killed
by Holmick , appeared next In the witness
chair. She Is a very comely woman of about
twonty-ono years of ago. nor testimony waste
to the effect that she was with Palmer early
in the evening and that ho was not drunk.
When ho reached homo after the shooting
she had examined his clothing and found no
weapons , there being In his pocket onlv his
bunch of hoys and a pocketbook. 1 ho de
fense did not usk her a single question and
she stopped down.
At the opening of the afternoon session
the defense began on its part of the case , the
state resting. The llrst witness called was
Hov. Mr. Urowor , pastor of tht ) Methodist
church at Glenwood , by whom It was ex
pected to prove that Mrs. Porter , instead of
being in favor of Palmer marrying her
daughter , was opposed to him , and had
uttered , derogatory remarks concerning
Palmor.
There being some legal objections to the
testimony because suftlciout ground had not
been laid for impeachment , iCv. Mr. ilrower
stepped aside for a few moments while Mrs.
Porter was recalled for further cross-ox-
ammatlon by tno defense in order to prepare
the ground for such impeachment.
Mrs. Ponor roalllrmod that she never said
she and her husband were opposed to the
marriage of Palmer to their daughter.
Kov. Mr. ilrewer then took the chair. Ho
was preiout at a conversation had between
Mrs. Porter and Mr. Holmick. From the
drift of the talk ho gathered that Mr. and
Mrs. Porter were opposed to the marriage ,
but could not give the language or details.
John Groudel of Ncola was next sworn.
Hard man , a witness for the 'state , had sworn
ho wns at his homo that evening. Grondol
toslillod to seeing Hardmai in a crowd down
town in company with the others who after
wards oniruged in the cpg-throwmg. Ho contradicted -
tradictod Hardman in several other import-
aut mutters , the tendency of his testimony
boinc that Haruinan was of tno same gang
as Oliver , Graver , Swoenov and others. The
witness also contradicted Oliver. Oliver
told him that Palmer had asked him ( Oli
ver ) to play by him , so that If ha got into a
scrape with Holmick ho ( Oliver ) might pro *
tect htm. Oliver had told witness that the
night of the shooting ho and Palmer hnd In
Helmlek's burn un irou bar two feet and a
half long.
Krlck Peterson wns the next witness. The
defense attempted to show that Peterson was
subpcumud for the prosecution and that the
state would not put htm on the stand. The
court would not permit this to bo put In evi
dence. Peterson heard the shot and on
reaching Helmick'a barn woat In with
Holimzir , whllo Hai'duiau and his
brother-in-law were out In tlio
alloy. Peterson was with Holmick
when ho was looking ever the barn for bullet
in ark H. Ho heard Hulmk-lc tuuko no such
remarks as Hurdman testlllod to. In either
detail ho contradicted Hardman. Ho heard
Helmlck say something about shooting , but
did not. hoar it all.
James Powell , now of Woodbine , was In
Nuola the evening of the tragedy. Ho had
hoard numerous threats mada by saloon men
against Helmlck. They said that if Holmick
got his nose in their business there would
bo another Haditock ease. The witness told
Holmick aoout this and told him ho hud
batter look out.
The examination of Powell was not con
cluded when court adjourned.

Petition ot Mynster , Llndt & Saabrook" ,
attorneys , for settlement of u judgment
against the city for mono.v in hands of tbo
ciiy treasurer , which was forfeited as ap
pearance money by saloon-keepers uud pros
titutes , was objected to by Alderman Ever
ett and a lengthy discussion ensued. Some
of the aldermen were m favor of paying it ,
but Everett and Lacy objected strongly.
The discussion brought out the fact that it
was understood by some of the aldermen
that jlhere was a kind of compromise'
effected , by the terms of which tho" injunc
tion uow pending against the allowance of
the aldermen's fees as members of the
board of equalization was to be withdrawn ,
provided the judcmont was quietly paid.
Alderman Weaver jumped to his feet and
announced in very vigorous language that
ho was opposed to any compromise and re
sented the Intimation that the council had
been making any compromises. Ho did not
want any inference to bo obtained by the
people generally , and said that if ho could
not collect his fees by law he didn't want
them. Mr. Lacy also had a word to say.
Ho thought thai if a judgment had bean secured -
cured It could bo properly collected and ho
didn't believe in allowing any attorney to
come in and run a bluff on the council.
John Lindt was present and took an active
part in the discussion , but ho could not
bring the council to his way of thinking. The
claim was llnally thrown out and it was de
cided to instruct the city attorney to use all
moans In his power to have the judgment sot
aside.
Petition of Fanny L. Prescott for refund
was referred.
The committee on the city's claim of 523 15
against tbo engineer's department for dam
ages resulting from a mistake reported that
it resulted from the confusion in the oflico
attendant on a chaugo of ufllcors , and that
the engineer should not bo held responsible.
but recommended that the ollieor.s on full
pay bo required to devote their whole time
to the city. The report was concurred in ,
Alderman Kneplor voting uo.
Alderman EvoroU then wanted his ordi
nance that was Introduced on the previous
evening regulating the salaries of city
marshal and chief of police and llxing them
at $1,500 each , in lieu of alt foes , brougat up
for its second reading. This brought on a
disciission , and Alderman Waterman kicked
on singling out ono ofllcor to bo cut down.
Ha wanted to Introduce an oraluanco ha haa
prepared , cutting down the salaries of all
the city ofllcors. Alderman Everett's ordi
nance was passed to Its second reading , and
at the request of some of the aldermen ho
amended it so that tno clause referring to
the chief of police was strlclcen out ,
A motion to pass It to Its third reading was
not sccondo'l. ' Alderman Lacji was in favor
of It , provided tbo council had the power to
pass It , and the marshal could not collect his
foes by law , but ho did not want to raise bis
salary from foOO to $1,500 and lot him have
the fee * the same as at present. Alderman
Waterman's ordinance was then introduced.
It lixod the officers' salaries us follows :

shal , $100 and fees , as at present ; engineer ,

clerk of the superior court : deputy clerk ,
780 ; chief of police , ? 3JO ; patrolman * $720 ;
aldermen , $250.
The ordinance ) was rccolvoa with derision ,
and Alderman Everett stated that it was
evidently Introduced for spita work or to em
barrass iho now administration should it bo
passed. Ho said that It was ridiculous to
expect competent men to accept the ofllcos at
any such lleuros. Other members of the
council stated that none of the city oQlccrs
were receiving too much money , but on the
contrary several of them should bo raised.
Alderman Lacy recommended Increasing the
salary of the treasurer to $1,200 and Increas
ing his bond to $150.000. Af tor u very lengthy
discussion , iho motion to pass the ordinance
to its second reading was lost , and Aldormau
Weaver's motion to uppomt Alderman

Stopniuk , the Russian nihilist , who is
spending some years of exile in London ,
is not us prosperous ns he mitrht bo , al
though ho 1ms recently been naid a big
sum for his now work on nihilism says
the Philadelphia Times. Ho is one ot
the moat industrious' ' workers in Lon
don ; ho is always wrfting or studying ,
lie spends hour after hour in the Brit
ish museum , accompanied usually by
his charming wife. They ransack
through the big hooks * make piles of
notes , and them ; the great socialist
goes homo and to worit. Ho is pos
sessed of a wonderful constitution , for
frequently , uLer . pending nn entire
day in the museum ) ho dines very fru
gally , then ho goes into his little study
and remains there until daybreak. But
somehow , with all ' his hard work , he
does not seem to make as much head
way as ho should. Ho is occasionally
seoif at the clubs and ut the theater , but
he does not makd a "practice of going
much into society. Ho writes Eng
lish with cuseT bat " _ ln speaking
, often seems lost for the" right word.
Ho has a small army offlfrionds
who stick to him loyally , and in their
society and that of his books ho seems
happy. Ho is perhaps the best in
formed man in England on the Russian
question. Ho has boon asked to come
to America and take the lecture plat
form , but I doubt whether he would bo
a success hero. Hq could hardly tell
us anything new , and his use of English
is not such that our public would , bo
pleased with. He scorns to recognize
this fact , and goes on plodding , study
ing and writing , hoping that the sun
may break through the black clouds that
obscure him , and that ho may wake up
some morning and find that the Russian
dynasty is a tiling of. the past.

On Thursday a week ago , ns the light
ning-express passed through the sub
urban town of Oak Park , near Chicago ,
Mollie O'Brien , a young girl in the em
ploy of Mrs. R. II. Salter , attempted to
cross the track. She was accompanied
by a Scotch collie , which was a great pot
in the family , says the St. Louis Re
public. The young girl reached the op
posite side in safety , and turned to see
whore the dog had gone. Seeing that
the dog was in imminent danger of
being run ever , she started to save him.
The crowd on tbo opposite platform
screamed for her to go back , but she
hooded not her own danger , and as she
reached the stops slipped and fell just
us the great iron monster rushed past.
The train did not crush her , but the
driver on the wheels of the engine
broke her nock install tlv.
People rushed to her assistance , but
it was too lato. Placing her on the plat
form , kind hands and curiosity seekers
crowded around her , but tlio great ,
'iioblo dog she hud tried to save kept nil
nway from hor. Piaciag himself by her
side , he liokod licrlpoor , bruised hands ,
and in every way tried to awaken hor.
No ono dared touch" " her , and not until
an old friend of UiK family came wpuk1
ho leave her foil ft moment. Miss
O'Orlon was twenty-throe years old
and was born and < rai8ed _ in St. Louts.

Coopers Still Striking.
"Wo arc still out on a strlxo and moro con
fident than over of winning , * ' said a cooper
yesterday. "Ono man has quit at Ham
mond's and another non-union man will quit
Saturday night unless ho gets $ . ) a day. So
far the packers have secured but ono man ,
and ho is not a practical cooper , to take a
striker's plaeo. "
The men are certainly confident it will bo
Impossible for the packers to got mon to till
their places. Some of the strikers have lett
for Kentucky , whore thcro Is a demand for
skilled coopers nt good wacos , and there is
a request for nt least eight more men to go.
The strikers will hold u meeting this after
noon.
"The dissatisfaction existing among the
packing house coopers In South Omaha over
the cut In wages demanded by the bosses Is
well founded , " said a striker. "Yesterday
ono of the men who quit Monday \\eut to
work in a pleco shop , and after cloven
months away from piece work maile $3.0
the ilist day. Notwithstanding the peed
wages earned in the piece shops in Omaha ,
the packing house proprietors want us to
v.-ork for $2,75 a day. Wo wont do it because
wo can maUo money olsowhoro. "
Docs Juduo Hint * Hold Over ?
"Do you construe the city charter to mean
that you hold ever for another year ? " was
asked Judge King yesterday after bo had
patiently listened to the tale of the four
offenders brought before him and had dis
posed of their cases.
"According to the charter provisions It Is
plain that I must run ngaiu , " answered the
judge. "But lu common with others I
have my doubts about the right
of special charters to legislate an
ofllclal out of ofllco when once elected
according to the statutory law ? governing
cities of the second class. Nevertheless , I
will have an opinion from high authority In
a few daya and then I will know better
wl.at I will have to do. If I am advised by
this authority that I must run again , ot
course I will abide by the advice. "
Police Judge King was elected a year ago
for a two years' term , but according to the
provisions of the charter govern
ing next month's election a now
police judge must DO chosen. Ihero Is a
strong disposition among mon of both'partles
ta allow the present incumbent to step into
the ofllco atrain unouposod in the event of ii
now election being necessary. Judge King
has made an excellent dispenser of milnlcl-
pal justice during the last cloven months , and
has earned the conndanco aud respect of all
elements.

Cora Leo is a high-kicking damsel who has
been wont to cnann the attendants at the
Theatre Cotnlque. Cora , In abbreviated
garments , warmed a chair m the tlrst part ,
nnd without changing her clothes worked
hard the rest of the night for percentages iu
the wine-room. Cora's occupation Is go no
for a time. Wednesday night she slipped on
the street , near the corner of Twonty-sovonth
and N streets , and fractured her highest
kicking limb. The Theater Comiquo will

Frank Clements was too drunk when
brought In to .remember his right name , BO
the stereotyped "John Doo" was applied to
him for the nonce. Ho admitted the charge
of drunkenness and was taxed up > 3 aud
costs. Ho boasted a bank account , but pre
ferred to work his fliio out In th'o county

M. P. Williams , a gray-haired old stook-
man , fell by the wayside. Ho admitted the
charge and paid his line of $3 and costs with
out u murmur. .
Dr. W. C. Wardnor looked upon the wmo
when it was red. Ho gazed so long nnd
steadily that his weak limbs could rio longer
hold him up. Ofllcer Hughes took pity on
him and placed him within the four walls of
Pat Rowley's whitewashed collar , batter
known as South Omaha's place of incarcera
tion. Ho was taxed the sumo amount , $3
costs.

gave birth to twins. Ono of the bixblcs died
a few days BRO and will bo burled by the
city. The desolate house is without the ne

lying sick In bod. The chiint-ibly disposed
people of South Omaha can Hnd in the

bad purloined and sold $ 25 worth of

in a condition of great mental pertur
bation ever since. ' 'Lorija Doone" lias

HE WAS ONCE NEARLY LYNCHED.
Captain Kcehott , Who Also Conies Infer
for Consideration.
Tbo army circle at Port Yntos is
greatly agitated ever the coming trial
of Lieutenant Steclo , who out"iigeously
assaulted and caused the imprisonment
of Priviito Dell Wild , says a Bismarck ,
N. D..dispatch to the Now Xork World.
The court-martial at which tlie soldier
received his sentence was a farce from
beginning to end , and the two odicors
who took the rcsopnsibility of giving
justice topoor Wild have been lontr
noted for their tendency to inflict tbo
severest punishment upon their un
fortunate subordinates.
Capt. Focbctt of tbo Eighth cavalry
bus a disagreeable record in this respect
and is not at all liked by tbo soldiers.
His bands are already dyed with the
blood of a luckless private namoa
Dugan , when ho nearly pummelled to
death during tlio Fourth of July cele
bration ut .Bismarck last year when the
captain narrowly escaped lynching by
the indignant citizens. Ho was spir
ited away by his friends' and , when the
excitement abated , was formally ar
rested. He wont through what ap-
pearort to bo a trial before the city jus
tice. Private Dugan of company G was
intoxicated on the Fourth of July and
in an ugly mood. Fecbott ordered him
to sit down , which the private refused
to do. whereupon the captain grabbed a
gun from the bands of a soldier and
struck Dugan a terrible blow on tbo
bond with the butt cud.
The blow split Dugan's right car in
two , nearly fracturing the side of his
head. He presented a sickening sight ,
and it wns a quarter of an hour before
ho regained consciousness. Tbo affair
caused great excitement and ollcctually
put a , damper to tbo celebration of that
day. The vast crowd needed only a
leader to have strung up Captain
Foobott without mercy. It is no wonder
then , when ono considers tlio existing
relation o rank and file in army life ,
that Priyato Wild bad all the odds
against him and no possible show for a
fair trial.
It is the general impression among
ollicors at Fort Yates that Lieutenant
Stoclo will be severely dealt with. Tlio
lieutenant and wife are well known in
Bismarck , and always have moved in
tbo best of society. Their friends are
astounded over tlio development and
it is believed that ether revelations of
a similar nature will bo disclosed.
Disease lies in ambush for the ivcak ;
n feeble constitution is ill adapted to
encounter n malarious atmosphere and
sudden changes of temperature , and the
least robust are usually the easiest vic
tims. Dr. J. H , McLean's Sarsaparilla
will give tone , vitality and strength to
tbo entire body.
