who testified as to Iho use of prusslc ncld.

to show that the ncld was not used for

show the previous spotlcssncss of the
prisoner's character nnd the absence of
intended purpose or opportunity. Tlio
prisoner sat with her fnco burled In her
handkerchief during the counsel's plea.
After distinguishing circumstantial from
direct evidence nnd Illustrating the dan
gerous character of circumstantial evidence ,
he said every link in the government's chain
of evidence must bo proved beyond n rcnson-
nbln doubt , Including motive , weapon , exclu
sive opportunity nnd Intent. The defense
would show that no blood was found ujton her :
that the relations between father ami
daughter , which excluded the motive for
killing him , and the motive to kill the mother
alone , would not bo enough for the govern
ment to claim that the same person killed
both. Hn claimed that the weapon had not
been connected with the defendant. Ex
clusive opportunity would bo negatived by
showing that other people wcro around lit
the tlmo of the murder ; thut others entered
the bain before tbo ofllcervho tcstilled
that its iloor was covered with dust , and
that the burned dress was covered with

BEE : I saw in last night's Bnn nn : irtclo ! <
n- Independence day. Now I think the time
[ it short to start in nnd have a rousing Four !
of July celebration , but nevertheless if tl
patriotic citizens will put their shoulders
the wheel , wo still have time to mal
preparations for a celebration long to bo i
momboml. And I will further say , do awj
with style for that ouo day. The reason
m mention this is that last year I had ov
! XU men's names iloun who promls <
to march ns "Sherman's Bummers , " -11
when the time carao only about twenty n
pearod , and the reason was that I told the
all they would have to wear such clothes
w wo were when wo mnruhod through Georg
iw and then they Hew the ) track because th
ild wanted to wear fi'io uniforms , Now , ft
or Editor , if Omaha will turn out , she bus t
material , and wo can show the children
Ho the present generation just how these s
ud dlcrs looked ut the grand review In Was
Ington in IBlVi. All I would ask Is that t
irnil young men lay asldo style for one day a

Why
Are they Wanted ?
Because they never spoil nice
desserts.
Because the cakes , puddings ,
creams , etc. , arc made to
please the most refined taste.
Because they are extracted by
a new method , from the true
fruit , so that each has its own
natural and distinctive char
acter. That is why Dr.
Price's Delicious Flavoring
Extracts , Lemon , Orange ,
Vanilla , etc. , are wanted. To
the connoisseur the difference
between them and the com
mon Flavoring Extracts is so
great that it cannot be ex
pressed in words. A trial
will prove their superioi
excellence.
