The most gigantic iinposlurti that 1ms
ever been nttomn cd In this state Is the
bngna mirtijio record of Nebraska

The nbuvottilemont is b.tscd on the

ono will claim that Adams county is the
most favored of all the counties in No-

Adams is to a < ji"oat extent only the
counlcnmrl of most of 111 : others.
The inisioproRunt'itton of the people's
party in IhU mnttor is the most IKgratit
feature of the policy of defaming and
discrediting Nebraska by which itl'oues
to attain ptilitlc.il power in the state ,
and it shmvs a wanton disregard of the
'interests and welfare of Nebraska that
must , be overwhelmingly robukod. It
would manifestlv bo tlio most dumiiging
blow Hint could bo inlliclurt upon the
state lo intrust to such n p.irty the nd-
minibtralion ot i"s " all'ulrs , for if it will
deliberately and persistently falsify in
order to secure power ilia Impossible lo
say to what extreme it might not go in

Nebraska. It must not bo allowed to

Ono of the dangers resulting from
closely organized labor unions received
a stonily practical illustration at the
oxpcnso of the Simla Vo railroad system
on Monday. Operator Barker , who had
charge of the night telegraph ollico at
Dotlgo C'itv , Ivan. , conceived tlio highly
humorous idea ot writing a bogus slriko
order , mgning the name of Chief Teleg
rapher Itamsny to it and leaving it
where the day manager would ( Ind it in
the morning. Tlio result ot his ex
quisite bit of fun was that the railroad
company sulTorcd the suspension of all
business for an entire diy : , the not loss
reaching many thousands of dollars.
Grand C'hief Hamsuy is an autocrat
amortg the members ot the Order ot
Uailway Telogry ; > hers before whoso
power the unlimited authority of the
czar of all the Hussias dwindles to in
significance. Huinsay says to an opera
tor "Come , " and ho comes , "Go , " and
ho goes , and no questions are asked , So
when a strike was ordered in the name
of the grand chief the operators loft
their Uoys. willing that time should in
form them ot the occasion for the un
expected ordor. The Santa Fo company
hud an agreement with the operators ,
for whom Ramsay had slcnod Ills august
olllcial name , and the strike of Monday
amounts in effect to the abrogation ol
tills contract. But that this was con
sidered by the men when they quit work
is hardly probable.
The lesson is the same as thit : taught
by the rUe and fall of Martin Iror.s six
years ngo. It is dangerous , even to
labor organizations , to put in the hands
of ono man the power to stop the worli
of nn cntiie railway system or any othoi
branch ot industry. The men them
selves can not alTord to bo the puppet1
of an autocrat's whim.

logical inference that the roplon in

cannot bo sullorlng from depression. The

A recent bulletin from the census
bureau relates to , the city of Denver.
Tlio industrial growth of the Colorado
city is shown by the following percent
ages of increase : Number of establish
ments icportcd , 181.08 ; capital in
vested , ftM.Ol ; number of hands cm-
ployed , U2I ) 8-V wage's paid , HSO. 23-cost ;
of materials used , llll.dU ; value of pro
ducts at works. 18i'J2 ) ; population ot
city , IDD.ol ; assessed valuation of city ,
ail.-il. "A striking feature of these
returns , " says the report , "is the
satisfactory Increase lu the number of
establishments reported. Still more
gratifying is the increase during the
decade in the number of hands employed
and the amount of wages paid. The
wages have increased not only actually
but relatively , the average- wages per
hand increasing from $335 in 1833 to
$7SK ! in ISil'J , or47.129 per cent. "
There are plenty ot calamity people In
Colorado who will bo profoundly
grieved to see these significant liguros.
With the issno of thn Omaha report the
populists of Nebraska will bo pained in
like manner , but the silver stito has a
larger assortment of calamity dervishes
than \vo have. Thu Colorado democrats ,
likoolho populists , declare that the
financial policy which they oppose has
brought ruin upon the state. The pros
perity ot Denver does not near out
their gloomy statements.
Tun Deaf aud Dumb institute at

reputation of being ono of the moat

many of them enter the National Col-

graduate. Ono of these graduates from

head tutor of the institute at Batoil

While Dr. Ktuipo was giving his toUimony
late this nttcrnoon Irvine's Httlo daughter
cainu Into tlio court room and a noticeable In
cident took place illustrating the character
of the accused. MM. Htrouo was ml-
dressing an hypothetical question
to the witness in which ho re
viewed the oircumuancos connected with
Mrs. Irvlno's Inlldcllty. Wnilotho attorney
was talltlui ; the fathur , sitting but a few
feet uwav with his daughter on his imoe ,
placed his hands nvor the httlu nirl's oars in
order that she might not hcnr the story of
bur mother's shnmo. it was but a llttlo Inci
dent entirely unforeseen and done entirely
will-out , oaloiitulion , but It showed the deli
cacy with which Irvine has considered the
case nb It affected the little girl over since ho
first felt the suspicion of his wife's Indiscre
tion.

When ho wont to his wifo'-j room at the
Wellington hotel , slio qrootcd him cordially
nnd happily. At this point the state ob-
jectea but the court overruled.
bhe throw her itrins about his neck , mil ho
snid , "Scooter , wait n moment , I want to
talk with you. " Witness explained that
"tjcootor" was ti pot name for his wife. IIo
told his wife that ho wanted her to tell him
the truth about her journt > y Irom Salt Lnku
City to Chicago. Shu tola htm of muotliifr
iMr. Stull and n gcntlomnn irom Omaha and
an old lady , and that they all played cards.
Arrivlni : at Uhicnco she said stio went to the
Grand 1'uciflc , rcRistcied and stayed all day
mid all nltht. ; In the morning she paid her
bill In | > erson and went to the depot where
she tooU the train for Marion.

that she aid not stop nt that hotel. She
then turned her fnco away and said :
"Well , I'll toll you the truth.Vo aid not
slot ) at the Grand I'ncilic but had rooms nt
the Grace hotel. Kd snlu If wo had rooms
at the Grand Pacific sonio ono might see us
that knew you ana that would make trouble. "
Mrs. Irvine excused herself by saying that
thousands of other ladles did thn same thing
unii mentioned the names of well known
ladles of tncir acquaintance who had done
the samo. Mrs. Irvine beggea that F.'osslo
bo not taken away from her nna ho told her
slio wasn't fit lo liavo charge of her. Wit
ness askea her If she sent Flossie out of the
room while Montgomery was there. She
sala they did not and that FJossio wolto un
and cried , saying : "Mamma , you aon't love
that man , do you ) If you'd bo good to papa ,
ha'd bo coou to you. "
They Talked of Suicide.
Ho asked her if she wanted him to send
for her mother or her brother. She said not
to send for anyone but to kill her. She sold
"
she wanted to" die and nskcu him what ho
was going to do. IIo said ho did not know
what woula become of him. Ho started
away and she followed him. Shosaiu she
was "going to the drugstore. Witness then
went lo the Grace hotel where ho secured
the iMgofrom the record showing that U. E.
Montgomery nnd Mrs. J. II. Miller had oc
cupied rooms llt ! and 120. Ho recognized
the latter signature as being in his wife's
handwriting. Ho then returned to the
Wellington hotel and found his wile almost
unconscious on the co'jch , with n strong
smell of chloroform about her. Ho roused
her and in answer to hls ucstlons she said
to send for her mother. Ho telegraphed her
mother to cotno nt once. In the meantime he
resumed his conversation with her in regard
to her intimacy with Montgomory. She told
him lint Montgomery had mudo love to her
nnd liuegcd and knsod her , both at her
homo and while riding. Montgomery had
written her letters in which ho addressed
her as "sweetheart , " and had made her his
confidante in regard to all his business
affairs.
Tno nrrangomonts for the trip to Chicago
were made by Mrs. Irvine and Montgomery
at the German National bank in Lincoln.
Mrs. Irvine notirtcd Montgomery whou she
was to leave Omaha , by telephone.

Witness linully asked his wife If slit would
make a wntttm statement. Shosaid : "Well ,
ifl toll vou the truth will youtuko mo back ! "
IIo told her ho would mauo no promises , but
wanted her to toll the truth anyway. Mrs.
Irvine was Ivlni ? on the couch nt the time
and arose and commenced to write. She
would write awhile and they would talk I !
over anil she would He on the couch and cry
and then cet up and write t > omo more.
Kiually she loft the statement unliuishcd.
Mrs" Irvlno's mother arrived in the afternoon -
noon and witness mot her nt the train. The
mother asked what was the matter. IIo was
iir.ablo to tell her on account of his foullngs.
Mrs. Irvine nnd her mother remained alone

thum. Tuo mother said that she would
rather have found her daughter dead und in
hercoflln than to have fouid that she hail
been untrue to her husband. They talket
together until after midnight nnd the tnolnei
knelt down and prayed. Witness and hli
wife also Joined in the prayer.
Witness did not sleep , but got un at !
o'olocit , wont to the room where hU wifi

begged him to take his wtfo again. Ho nskoi
her hnw ho could when she had been inti

her arms about his node und haul : "Oh

again. "
The mother renewed her entreaties in ho
daughter's b.ihalf and auvlsod him to mov
away tram the WORI and return to Alurlor
Ind. ' , where , In n few years , they would be
come reconciled to each other , and Flossi

afternoon , having eaten no urcaicfast or uit.
ncr. tlo ale no supper und walked the cut
until long after ovoryuody had gene to bet
At that time ho began to lie conscious t
seeing things entirely foreign to his HU
roundlngB. He Jlrst BOW the picture of hi
wlfo holding his daughter in her urins in tli
room in the hotel , Then ho saw tbo fern :
of Faust , Margunte and Mophlsto , the chm
actors from the opera of "Faust. " Ho ala
saw a vision of a beautiful tawu with a whll
cotUgu in the background and saw a ham
some girl dressed in white come out of tb
cottugo nnd walk down to the gala , folio we
by an old man , Then again ho saw hi
daughter Flossie , rown to bo a young ladj
walking cast on the north side of O stroi
toward the German National bank , whoi
she passed Kd Montgomery , and as si
passed him she hung Uer head in nhnrao. A
of thoiu thing * ho saw while walking haul
wurd and forward In the vestibule botwce
the Bleeping cars , Ho llnally wont to Uoi
but aid not sleep at all.
Ho arrived at Lincoln at about T o'clock i
tha morning and tried to gut a room at tt
hotel , but could not , Ho then wanted i
llnd las friend Aubott. His only tbougl
was to throw bis arms about his friend
neck and osic him what ho should do , II
than tbcught Abbott wan tbo only friend t
hud left in the world. IIo found it was U
early to sea Abbott and then went to his. o
homo atKlKhieonih and O streets , where tt
visions returned to him. Ho auw bin lltt
clrl at n. window in the hnusn She xmllod
nt him nnd beckoned him nnd tried to cot
out of too door
Hn\r n Utigltt Itril Light ,
At IhU time witness \vni conscious ot sco-
ing n brlcht rod light. It looked n larpo as
the upper hnlf of n Inrpo window. 'llIs
llcht followed him at all times. Ho had nu
tmiHOislon that when ho stnrtcd nwnv ho
wns goltiB out into the country. Ho tooK n
stroov car , thinking it would tnko him lo Ab
bott's ' house.
Ho had no recollection of anything thnt
transpired nftor ho tok the street car. Ho
didn't know when ho laft the street car. Ho
had no recollection ot auyt .ing Hint oc
curred at the hotel.
Ilo wes conscious ot walking about all the
time , und wns always accompanied bv that
blood rod light. Ho recollected that that
light had oxiiloilod und disappeared. Me
did not recollect going Into the dlnln ? room
of the hotel with hU hat and overcoat on.
Did not recollect shooting Montgomery. Ho
had not the 'lightest idea of kllllui ; him.
Such a thought had never entered his head.
Ilo first learned that bo had killed Mont *
ROtnury at the oily jail. Attor boliiR re
moved to the penitentiary ho fell , that uftor-
noon. into n deep slttmbcr , which lasted sev
eral hours.
This closed tlio direct examination of Mr.
Irvino. Tno oxnminatlon was very painful ,
and several times ho nearly broke down.
The jury watched htm very attentively , nnd
at last one was scon to brush the to.m from
his eyes.
lr\lnc Ornss-
.Judge McCtilloiiph subjcctod the witness
to u most searching crojs-oxainlnulloii. lu
response to the nttornoy's questions Mr. Ir
vine stated tint lie had always made a prnc- '
tlco of carrying .1 revolver. Ho admlttuii I
thnt ho might have seen .some ol tlio visions
bo had referred to after ho had gene to bed ,
but was positive that ho had scon them
while ho wns wlJo awake , lie declared po -
Itlvelv that ho had never had any hatred or
ill will toward Moutcomnry , not oven after
bis wlfo had told him nf her relations with
Montgomery. Ho certainly felt no doslro to
kill him. tie Insisted that ho bore no 111 will
.nil . said that those words did not describe
ils feelings. Ho did not think of Montgom
ery nt the time. Ills mind was Illled with
ils own grief.
In nil of the questions put to Irvine not
once did ho deviate from tno plain , straight
forward atory lie had told on his direct ex
amination.
Irvine stated that the last time ho hr.it
Irod his revolver was on n ltshlu trip , when
10 emptied it twice , unco nt n snnko on the
:5lg : Cottonwood nvor and once on the
Wobor. Ho did not take the revolver out
and practice with It In Chicago. Ho didn't
{ now whore Montgomery sat at thu toulo at
ho botul. Ho hint no recollection of shoot-
ng tbo revolver , of holding up tno papers
containing the proof of his wife's Infidelity
or of being taken to tbo city jnil.
On redirect examination Irvine stated thnt
10 had no harsh fueling toward Montgom
ery. Ills mind wits entirely tnl'on up with
i wife and child. Ills thoughts were , "Oh ,
Hit , how could you hnvo ruined my wifoattor
wo nave boon such good friends. "
i\poi-t Testimony < > II < > UM | .
Dr. Eastman , suuorlntcuuciit of the state
asylum for the insane at Tonokn , Kan.statod
that bo hud mnUoinsamty u special ctudy for
moro than thirty years , , and had boon super
intendent of the asylum at Tofieka tor the
past thirteen years. Ho described mania
transiiorla as a comhtlon of Impaired con
sciousness , caused by some intouso mental
excitement and characterized by delusions
bordering upon hallucination. Mania transi
iorin was generally of brief duration , seldom
lasting for moro than from twelve to twenty-
four hours. The person sutTorlng from
mania transilorla might retain possession of
his powers of locomotion and speech , but not
his memory of what took place while under
the influence. After lie. Eastman hud an
swered the usual oioiimlnary questions , , 'udgo '
Powers put to the witness a hypolliuttcal
question. This question was very lengthy
and included tbo whole history of all the
causes leadlngupto the tragedy. It required
thirty-live uiluutos to read the quojtlon.
To the question Dr. East.nun replied that In
bis opinion Irvine was insane at the time
and thai ho bad no control whatever ever
his actions toward C. E. Montgomery. Ilo
was also asked whether or not , in bis opin
ion , Irvine was responsible for bis action in
killing Montgomery , 'lo this question tbo
state objected onthourcuud that it was u
question of law to bo dntermlncd oy the jury
as instructed bv tbo court. Tbo objection
was sustained.
Dr. ii : tmun i\iiiiiinpil.
On cross-cxamiuutlon Dr. Eastmnn stated
that ho had never boon called upon to treat a
case of mania transitorln and that he had
never been such a caso. Ilo ndmlttea that
many authorities denied tbo existence of the
disonso known us mania transilorla. As a
rule thu face of n man so nllllcteu would bo
flushed , but it might bo pallid , Jf his face
was pallid it would ho an exception to the
rulo. An insane man laboring under a fit of
anger or passion would bo likely to bo execs-
slvol / rile. A man might act with a motive
or v 'routonu. The weight of authority Is
tha > . man under the lullucpco of mania
tra'.f.itoria acts without u mollvo. Ho may
bolncohcro.it or coherent without knowing
It.
Judge McCultough then put nn hypotheti
cal question to Dr. Eastman embracing sub
stantially the same mattoi as was Included
in the hypothetical question put by .1 micro
Powers , out tending to establish a well dc-
lined motlvo In nil of Irvine's actions from
the time ho loft Lincoln until ho returned.
Jud go McCullough sought to establish the fact
that Irvine bad uuon so caniful to preserve
copies of nil the telocrntns bo had sent , se
curing a page from the hotel register con
taining the names of bis wife nnd Mont
gomery , asking his wlfo fora written st-ite-
inoat of her relations with Montgomnry ,
than bought a ticket to Lincoln , ranio to this
city nnd walked to the hotel wharo ha
now Montgomery lived , cuecki'd his
baggage , nskod for a room nnd
\HK > U being Informed thnt the homo
was full , went nwixy , visited different part *
of the city , returned to the hotel , watted for

The doctor thought ho was , nr.il in response
to further questions ho said thnt In his opin
ion tha defendant was snno nnd lu n condl
tion to control his own notions.
Dr. ICiupp also took the stand for the nur-
uoso of giving exp rt testimony. His cvl
tlonco did not differ inntormllv from that
offered by Dr. Eastman. Dr. It , 1-J , Olffon of
this city was another export Introduced bv
the defense. lib was emphatically of the
opinion jhfit Irvine was Insane nt tlio Umo

corresponded with Irvlno's utiso with re *
tnnrknblo minuteness.
