The taking ot testimony In the Mcllugh rial was concluded yesterday afternoon ac < l the aliening arguments were made by the counsel for thy state and the defense. The case wlli reach the Jury early In 'the day to day. day.When When court convened yesterday morning the atato resumed the Introduction of teBtl- r.ony In rebuttal. Ofllccr Wler was the first witness. He contradicted an assertion made on the witness stand by Ofllccr Murphy for the defense on the previous day that he had Bent Wler to the hotel after he hlnuclf had eft. Wler denied this statement. Kx-Sherlff John T. Hazenis called. Ho trstlflcJ' that cx-Jallcr Peterson had told him mmcdlatcly after the shooting that he had sonu as far as McAtre's store , when ho met O'llrlen and Hooker coming across the street with the three men , and that he tunwd and started for the jail and had reached the court liouse lawn when the shooting began. The witness testified that ho had asked Peterson to give u description of the man who had cncapcd , and Peterson said he could not dose so , for the reason that he did not get a good nok at him. Mack Goodwin testified that ho was pres ent and heard this conversation and that I'cterson had told him that he had not gone o th" hotel. John Helm , proprietor of the barber shop nt the Osilcn , testified that Mcllugh stopped at the Ogden on the Saturday night prior o the Hrlswold bank robbery , and he posl- : lvely Identified him. Mcllugh had occupied ils chair while he was having his hair trimmed. J. M. Green , now a resident of York , Neb. , testified that ho was employed at the Ogdcn liouse as a runner when Mcllughami the two convicted hank robbers came there prior to their departure for Grlswold. Henry Cook of Underwood was n guest of tlie Kiel hotel on the dale of the arrest. He was In the wash room and saw O'Brien and Hooker pass Into the saloon with their men. Ho afterward went Into the barroom and had another look at them , and was reasonably svro thnt MdHugh was one of the trio. He wns on Pearl street when the shooting be gan. gan.Nick O'Brien was recalled to give the evi dence that Peterson had constructed another kick , followed by Hooker who materially assisted in the effort to destroy the credi bility of the defense's chief witness. O'Brien said Peterson visited him while he was still lying in bed suffering from the pistol shot wound. In the conversation Peterson said j lie could not Identify the man who did the I 1 shooting ; did not tell defendant If ho would come to the Bluffs that his expenses would be paid. Hooker testified that Peterson did not speak to him nt the hotel , and never saw lilm there. The first time he saw Peterson was when they were going to the court house ; saw him near the McAtec store ; did not tell defendant he could not recognize him and never said to defendant , "You shot at mo six or seven times , nnd I am going to get revenge. " This concluded the rebuttal evidence of the state and the prosecuting attorney announced that there would be no further Introduction of testimony , unless it was demanded ID sur- rebuttal. The defense recalled Officer Murphy , and he said he did not tell Wler to go to the hotel but to Peterson & Schoenlng's store ami watch for a man whom the city police i were after. I McIIugh wns recalled for the purpose of j Identifying the picture attached to the Philadelphia depositions as being that of himself and his friend Harris. A closer exI I 1 aminatlon of these depositions shows that they are almost valueless as establishing | 1 i the alibi of the prisoner , nnd they will go to the Jury room for the purpose of examination.

The season of summer flowering Is over , and most private gardens present rather a forlorn appearance. The amateur gardener Is very likely feeling that bis duty Is accom plished until spring comes tiptoeing over the hills again , but there he Is mistaken. There Is a great deal of garden work that may and should be done during the fall months , siys the Washington Star. Now In the time to tidy up those unsightly , ragged beds and borders. Cut off the dead stalks and dry leaves of hardy plants , shrubs and vines and pull up the withered annuals , putting them on the compost heap that ought to be found In some out-of-the-way corner In every gar den. uaKo up ttie [ alien leaves every day and store them In a sheltered place to use r/3 blankets for your tender roses , etc. , later on. on.It It you have done your duty by your chry santhemums they are by this time big , sturdy plants , full of buds. Hut do not neg lect them now. Dig and sturdy as they are , they are also voracious. Continue to give them plenty of water and liquid manure ones or twice a week about the roots. Do not make It too strong , about the appearance of weak tea will do. If the black aphis Is present spray the plants with tobacco water , very weak , or with soapsuds , If you wish fewer blooms and larger carefully pinch away all but the central bud In each clus ter It you have the heart to do It. See that each plant has a stout stake driven well Into the ground or the first wind may uproot or break It off. Use large , soft cord that will not cut to tie up the stalks. As they break easily , and are very tophcavy , support the larger branches as well as the main stalk. If there should come a very cold spoil when the buds are opening , by all means cover the plants at night with newspapers , old sheets or something of the sort. I have had some beautiful specimens Injured by frost when loft unprotected. It is nut too late to pot some of your "mums" for the house. Select good stocky plants for this purpose. Take them up with as much soil as possible about the roots. Use large pols , the bottoms covered with broken bits of potn or bricks , charcoal , peb bles , etc. , and nil In with good garden soil , flrm'riK down well. Water thoroughly , and keep In a. shady place out of doors for a week. Then bring Into a sunnier spot , but do not take the potsMndoors for Hcveral weeks yet. In December , not earlier , put your roses to bed for the winter. The hardy sortH need only a light covering , but tea roses must bo protected , not only from sffvero cold , but from the winter sun , which often starts the sap and even leaf buds prema turely , with dire results. It Is thin alter nate freezing and thawing which kills roses , the rosarlans tell us. A good way to shelter them Is to set up a screen of boarJs on the southern side of the rose boils. If the bushes are scattered about is'et barrels or boxes , with bottoms knocked out , over each one , end fill part way up with leaves or straw. , Now , too , Is the time to have your cold frames made , and new beds and borders spaded up and spread with compost. In this way the Ball gets Into rVio condition for spring planting. Many authorities recommend fall planting of sweet peas. My own opinion Is that tlio trenches should bo prepared In the autumn and the peas planted early In March. In our climate there Is always the. risk of pro- matuio coming up. and subsequent freezing of the tender young vines. Prepare the trenches for sweet peas us follows : Select , If possible , an open spot and dig a trench two and a half to three feat deep and eighteen Inches wide. Let It run from north to south If convenient. Kill up a foot deep with any kind of compost , and on top of that garden soil , rather heavy than ollmrwlse. Finish with , a light top dressing. March the soil In the trendies will have etttlcd firmly and be ready for planting. SPECIAL NOTICES COUNCIL BLUFFS WANTS. * * * A/\\S\/\SNSW\/lXSWW\/\'NX\/\/\s > SWHv.

Very few , It jiny , of the removed olllclnls entertain any hopes of being reinstated as the result of this Investigation , but they do expect to have the tpporumlty of showing tip the conduct of Don C. Aycr. the chief Inspector. "When Inspector Huston of the civil service commission was here some time ngo and held wh.it he called nn Investiga tion 'behind ' closed doors , all of the testi mony affecting Aycr was thrown out.

The owner ot the prcml-cs agreed to allow the hospital credit for the amount provided the taxes were remitted.

Mayor Knsor said that such action ! 1 could not be taken legally , and even in case the city council was willing to take such step , the county commissioners would never consent.

"Never was there so much fraternal love and patriotism ns now. Government reaches Its end through the medium of law. Every man'ti liberty ends where the rlg'its of hln follow men be gin. In America the people are noverclgn. If one nun ho permitted to violate the law , so may another and the result Is anarchy. A big purse frequcn'ly buys eloquent law yers , witnesses nnd jurors ; this Is one eniise of lawlessness. If laws are defective , amend them , repeal them. The spirit of Christ is not so prevalent thnt we can live without law. A great government like ours should hear the wall of the lowest e.ltlzon. " Louis Selling , secretary of Hebrew char- Hies , Detroit , read a piper on "Duty to the Unemployed. " In his opinion we should not condemn unfortunates hut patiently listen to their stories and learn the best way to as sist them. The mnst practical assistance Is to secure work for the unemployed.

During this era men have had opportunities of amassing wealth they never had before and will never have again. Wealth is a trcs- pcsscr , dangcrofn to all people ; It cannot crento or save life. Of all evils , the greatest Is the gold pnsslon. The blick flag of cor- ruplliAi in more lo bo feared than the red flag of anarchy.
