THE OMAITA DAILY J?EE: SUNDAY,' AFTtTL IB, 1!)00. 0 STRICKEN BY CONSCIENCE Crurlei Moors Hunts a Court to Pan Prison Sentence Upon Him. PLEADS GUILTY TO STEALING A HORSE smprrnl Scene In .Indue SlnliniiKli'n Court, Where (lie llnmiiy "" fentliitit Aiirnrn .Anklnu for I'liiilNliinvnt. Judge Slabaugh sentenced Charles Mooro t Sarpy county to the penitentiary for one rear and a half yeetcrday on n plea of tullty to tho charge of horso stealing. Ilchlnd this routine court announcement thero la a story. Tho defendant, Moore, ap peared boforo Judgo Slabaugh of bis ojl volition. Ho said ho wag guilty; that ho .... . , i naa a minion on nis confluence MJUlll UO ruiluL'U UJ nitmvvt ntu" court decreed. After this explanation Judgo Elubaugh pronounced sentence. It was a most unusual proceeding for a man charged with crlmo to go from ono county to nnothor seeking penalty, but Mooro had been advised that bo could havo bin caso ended hero and that waa what ho desired. In tho district court of Douglas, county Judgo Slabaugh attcnd only to civil business, but In Sarpy county, which Is a part ot bis district, ho passes upon matters both criminal and civil. Mooro was under Indictment In Sarpy county for horso steal ing. Ho consulted tho prosecuting attorney and told him ho desired to plead guilty. The prosecutor suggested that court being In va cation there, nothing could bo dono until next term. This did not suit Moore. Sus pense wan a nlghtmoro to him, far moro (orrnldablo than regular expiation ot his crime. He suggested that he be taken to Omaha, whoro he might make confession to Judgo Slabaugh. ComeN to Oinnlia for .Sentence. Tho county attorney looked up tho law and found nothing to contradict tho regularity of such proceeding. Moore waa glad when ht received tho verdict of tho prosecutor. Tho sheriff was apprised ot tho situation and, accompanied by tho county attorney nd tho sheriff, Mooro arrived in Omaha yesterday morning. Ho could hardly wait for court to convene. "When tho cards nro stacked against mo I want to get out of tho gamo," said Moore. Those who saw tho man could fully under stand nis declaration. Ho la a brawny six footer, and If his general appcaranco Is an Index to tho caliber ot his hoart It Is as big ns that of tho proverbial ox. When Mooro camo before Judgo Slabaugh short work was mado of tho caso. Tho county attorney explained tho sentiment of tho de fendant and tho court ruled that tho mat ter could bo taken up here as well as In Barpy county. "What have you to say why you should tot bo sentenced?" queried tho Judge. "Nothing, your honor, I am ready," de clared Moore. Most mon quail beforo a sentenco ot a year and a half In prison, but Charles Mooro appeared to be relloved when ho heard the words fall. He waa taken to Lincoln on ono of tho late afternoon trulnu, thoro to don tho convict strlpro Comparatively Httlo is known of Moore's rast history. A fow years ago ho drifted Into Sarpy county and obtained employment on a big farm owned by tho Sanborn broth crs Pearly and Cliff. Ho proved to bo a model "hired man," nnd In a fow months ha gained moro or less promlncnco In the com munlty. It was from his employers that Moore stolo tho horse. Tho crime .was committed somo tlmo last fall. The horso was recov crcd without particular dtfllculty. Although Mooro did not 'beg for mercy nnd mado no showing of extenuating circumstances, his friends dcelnro that tho theft of tho horso from tho Sanborn brothers was simply tho freak of a drunken man for It Is said that Mooro had been guilty of exccMlvo Indul pence in liquor several days prior to tho theft. This -was tho first black mark Rgalnst lilm nnd tho only ono so far as known. Fivn rrcrtsoNAi, n.vM.van cases Itnllronita AnkctI to I'ny for I.ns of I.tfc nnil M1.1I1.

Ilurr has escaped answering five counts In the Indictment against htm wherein ho Is charged with illegal actions In connection with the First National bank of Alma, Nob. Yesterday morning In tho United States district court Judge Carlaiul bub tallied an application to quash. Th grounds on which ftvo counts nro quashed are generally that a grand Jury cannot In diet without showing that It has knowledge of tho guilty net of tho person Indlcte nnd tn four of tho five counts In this caso tho Jury finds that tho report to tho comp trollor signed by tho president of tho bunk stated that thero were no bad notes hold by tho bank when In fact thero were, nnd yet tho Indictment falls to give tho names of ony of tho signers of tho notes or to describe tho notrti so they could bo Identl fled.

The itching and burning nre almost unbearable, especially when overheated from any caiiws The skin seems on tire, sleep or rest is impossible, the desperate sufferer, regardless of consequences, scratches until strength is exhausted. This burning, itching humor appears sometimes in little piibtules, discharging i sticky fluid, which forms crnsts amlscales. Again the skin is dry, hard and fissured, itches intensely, bleeds and scubs over. This is it painful and stubborn form of the disease. While Hczcma, Tetter, Krysipelas, Salt Rheum and many like troubles arc spoken of as diseases of the skin, they ore really blood diseases, because THERE CAN BE NO EXTERNAL BRRBTATBON WITHOUT AN INTERNAL CAUSE. it iUi idonil is in a mire, henlthv condition, no poisonous elements can reach the skin. Uxternal applications of washes, lotions ana salves sometimes mitigate the itching and soothe the Inflammation, but cannot reach the disease. Only S. S.

PETITION SUBMITTED TO COUNTY BOARD Without !)ImimiIoii the Document Ix Referred to Court llnuxe nml .lull Committee Other I'riM'vi-illiiK. Tho feature ot the regular weekly meet ing of tho county board ycBtcrday was an cf- J fort on tho part of Sheriff Power to havo nn additional deputy appointed. It was ex plain 3d that a deputy is needed In South OmnliM. A resolution for tho appointment I was introduced by Commissioner. Hoetor, one of tho popocratic members of the board, nnd Incidentally a resident of South Omaha. Tho reolutlon was accorded a chilly re- ceptl )tlon. Not even the popocratic brethren , Commissioner Hoetor appeared to bo par- ulnrly enthinlastlo nbout It. After brief of tlrulnrlv debate, during which Commissioner Ostrom spoko forcibly against tho proposition, the resolution wns referred to the committee on court houso nnd Jail. Indications denote that tho county board will not "stand for" tho South Omaha deputy. If tho rioolutlon should be adopted It means an Increase of $75 per month In taxa- tlon, for that is tho salary proposed for J tho pro?fect vo deputy. In support of th.. ' tesolutlon Introduced by Commissioner Hoe-I tor, presumably at the request of Sheriff Power. 1b a petition signed by dfty-two . residents of South Omaha. Tho Idea Is to hnv,. ttm .lenutv Rl.Hlnneit there. Sheriff I Power did not appear at tho meeting of the commissioners, but among the spectators several well known henchmen were recog nized. Cum 111 1 hn I oner Ontroni T11IW. In opposition to tho foisting of ndditlonal expense upon taxpayers Commissioner Os trom said: "Tho sheriff's olllco Is not do ing tho buMlucsB this year It did last year, or for several preceding years. Ono notablo decrcaso ot business Is the fact that there aro not so many foreclosures. Thero Is moro general prosperity nnd the fore closure work Is reduced to the minimum. In several other -branches tho work is lighter. Yet Sheriff Power seeks to havo a larger forco than has been granted to any other sheriff. I do not bellevo that a ma jority ot this board will favor such a propo sition." Sheriff Power has evinced unusual In terest In South Omaha affairs ever elnco he hns been elected. A prominent court houso ofllclal, discussing tho attltudo ot the sheriff, said: "It ficcma to mo that Sheriff Power Is trylug to build up a political machine. He seeing to think that South Omaha can do him a lot of cood and, according to my view of It, ho Is trying to usurp tho prerogatives that by law aro accorded to tho mayor.' The proposition for Increased deputy forco will probably bo settled nt tho next regular meeting of tho commissioners. A resolution "was adopted authorizing tho chairman of tho board to sign a petition for new curbing and other Improvements on Harney ptrect from Fifteenth to Twentieth streets, with the exception of tho Sixteenth Btrcot Intersection. This petition Is to be presented to tho mayor and city council. Tho county treasurer was granted au thority to employ an extra clerk at $73 per month from tho present dato to Juno 1. This In for tho purpose of clearing up un finished work. There was no party opposi tion to tho propooltlon.
