CHILD IN COURT ROOM A FEATURE
Daughter of Dtltsui n7
Daring; Cloalnc Aram men of
' Coaatr Attorney and Draws
Macb Atteotloa.
At U o'clock Saturday morning County
Attorney Slabaugh concluded a long and
forceful address to the Jury In the Von
Hullur murder trial. Fifteen minutes later
Judge Day had finished the reading of his
Instructions to the Jury and the twelve
mun went to dinner. Afterward they
moved into one of the basement pens which
are called Jury rooms and began their final
consideration of the case.
Under the Judgo's Instructions the Jury
may find the defendant Is guilty of murdor
In the first or second degree, or of man
slaughter, if they please; or they may turn
him loose If the proposition of self-defense
appeals to them, or if the other plea of con
genital epilepsy seems good. The Jurymen
were plutnly tired and considerably worried
when they went out, and as they filed
through the court room there was little or
no notice taken by tho twelve arbiters of
a man's fate of the concentrated stare of
the crowd In the court room.
Child P1m in Court Room.
While the county auruey was uifclng a
harsh rolling up of the scroll of hrr father's
life the aunny-fuced little daughter, of the
defendant was hitting from mother to
father, to the klnd-maunered bill lift, bring
ing a cup of water to a a3y she knew In
the audience; and anon her voice would
ring out In the corridor as she played with
the loiterers. She Is a very busy and a
very lovable little body, who did not at, all
comprehend the absorption of her parents
In the denunciation of crime and criminals
being poured out by the state prosecutor.
While sitting In her father's lap, where she
had crept when she noticed that he was
more thoughtful than usual, the child
watched the movements of the county at
torney with wondering Interest, at the same
time mechanically folding up a large sheet
of paper Into cornucopia form.' The father
hugged her close before she slipped away
to her mother's arms, Mr. Shoemaker
patted her ad as she passed his chair;
and through it all the little one carried the
heart-breaking smile of innocence and
abounding life even while her sire shud
dered seriously within the comprehension
of the law's supreme vengeance.
At an early hour this morning the Jury
hud been locked up for the night without
having reached a verdict, and the chances
are no further effort will be made In that
direction until they have had breakfast.
BENSON SALE IS BIG SUCCESS
Messrs. Brandels Take Care of an
Inasaally Large Crowd on
Saturday.
"The sale of the Benson stock at our
store Suturday was the biggest sales day
ever taking place in Omaha," said Mr. Emil
Brandels of J. U Brandels & Sons last
evening. "It far exceeded our expectations
and far surpassed any sale ever made In
our establishment, and you know we have
had some pretty big ones."
This statement Is borne out by the enor
mous crowds that thronged the store from
the opening hour Saturday morning until
the doors were closed at 10 o'clock last
night. "Tho success of the sale," said Mr.
Hugo BrandelB, "Is owing to the well
known excellence of the Benson stock. It
was admirably selected, a fact that was
well known to all Omaha shoppers and
all were eager to take advantage of It.
Nor were our patrons wholly Omaha peo
ple. There were buyers from all parts of
the state. This was evident to us from the
many strange faces and from the addi
tional fact that our rheck rooms showed
a vast number of packages and shopping
baegage that were checked In the check
room. The interesting feature of the sale
la that It showed the general trend of
prosperity and that the people had lots of
money and were willing to spend It. The
sale will continue from day to day until
the entire Benson stock is disposed of.
You know we bought all of her spring
shipments, and these are coming in dally
and we are anxious to dispose of It as
rapidly as possible In order to get It out
of the way of our general stock. It may
linger along for thirty days. It Is pleas
ing to note thut with the constant Jam
of customers there was little to complain
of In the way of shoplifting, In fact there
was none that Is worth mentioning."
The sale was given an additional Interest
by he constant strains of music from a
special orchestra, and withal. It was a
notable event In the history of special
sales in Omaha, and shows that the city
Is becoming the great shopping metropolis
of the west.
PURE SEED AND SCiL CULTURE
Every mother feels a
greut dread of the pain
and danger attendant upon
the most critical period
of her life. Kecomintr
a mother should be a source of joy to all, but the suffering and
clanger incident to the ordeal makes its anticipation one of misery.
Mother's Friend is the only remedy which relieves women of the great
pain and danger of maternity ; this hour which is dreaded as woman's
severest trial is not only made painless, but all the danger is avoided
by its use. Thofe who use this remedy are no longer despondent or
gloomy; nervousness, nausea and other distressing conditions are
overcome, the system it made ready for the coming event, and the
serious accident so common to the critical
hour are obviated by the tie of Mother's
Friend. "It is worth its weight in goid."

WOISE APPLICATION DENIED
Police Board Refuses to Allow lilra
to Move HU Firm's
' License.
At a meeting of the Board of Fire and
Police commissioners held last evening the
application of Walter Molse & Co., for
a change of location from 216 South Four
teenth street to 1515 Podge street was re
fused and the protests against the latter
location were sustained by the board. One
of the protests sgalnst the proposed lo
cation at 1M5 Dodge street was signed by
Hugh McCafTery and thirty other nearby
property owners, while the other wss
signed by Father M. J. Dowllng. president
of Crelghton university, on behalf of prop,
erty owned by the university adjacent to
the location applied for. After a short ex
ecutive session the board decided to sus
tain the protests and deny the application.
The protests were made on the usual
grounds, namely, that the location of a
wholesale liquor house at the new location
applied for would be detrimental to public
mural, etc.
AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Workmen Begin to Talk of Entertaining
the Grand Lodge Session.
NO ACTIVE STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN YET
From Thousand to Fifteen Hundred
Expected and Local Worknieu
Will Have Their Hands
Full.
Local members of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen are discussing the ar
rangements of the local committees for
the meeting of the grand lodge In this
city next M-y. The meeting Is to be held
in the Workmen temple In this city on
May 9.
Thus far very little preliminary prepara
tion has been made. A committee Is soon
to be appointed by the local lodges' of
the Workmen to perfect arrangements, or
rather to lay some of the first plans. Then
the members will have to get down to
business, for fully 1,000 delegates are ex
pected to attend the meeting.
It Is stated, too, that many of the dele
gates at tho coming meeting of the grand
lodge are to be accompanied by their wives
and it may be that the number will be
swelled materially by the time the date
of the convention comes. Then It will be
that South Omaha people, whose homes are
large enough, will be aaked to entertain
some of the visiting strangers, and In a
city of 1,600 Workmen and their families
It Is safe to predict that a great many
of their brothers will find shelter and en
tertainment during their stay.
South Omaha Is a great fraternal city,
and In this respect Is still growing. There
are as many lodges represented In South
Omaha as In any city of Its size In the
union. It is said, and the membership Is
very large. Especially Is this true of wom
en's organisations of the fraternal spirit.
Hotel accommodations are hardly capable
of taking care of 1,000 or more people at
one time, but the Woodmen convention
held here two years ago waa conducted
without complaint, everybody getting
plenty to eat and enjoying the affair as
well as anywhere. The Workmen temple
is a most delightful building in which to
hold such gatherings, and the local Work
men will see to It that It Is well nigh
covered wMh appropriate decorations.
Democrats Make Nominations.
The democrats met at the Workmen hall
yesterday and nominated for the Board of
Education Dr. W. S. White, Dr. C. M.
Schlndel and P. J. Bock. Resolutions by
II. B. Floharty were presented and adopted,
expressing the usual good resolutions to
economise, etc. A. M. Gallaehar was chair
man of the convention and A. L. Hunter
secretary. There was a mere handful of
democrats present. The three candidates
live within a stone's throw of each other
In the First ward and are well known,
being old cltlxens and active men In the
community, as are the three republican
candidates, Messrs. Jay I .avert y, Dana
Morrill and Dr. W. I. Curtis. Ordinarily,
the ticket nominated by the . democrats
would be considered formidable, ' but the
republican ticket Is exceptionally strong,
and the record of the board uuder the Lav-
erty-Morrlll leadership has been very pop
ular for economy and good school manage
ment. To Extend Street Railway.
City Engineer Rosewater of Omaha was
In the city yesterday, and took a drive
south' to the county line and on to Fort
Crook to take a hasty look at the proposed
route for the extension of the Omaha street
railway line. Mr. Rosewater stated to
friends that there was talk of extending
those lines to Fort Crook the coming sum
mer, and that in all probability a surveying
party would be started to work Monday
morning on the proposed line. Street rail
way officials have said little about the pro
posed extension, but it Is authoritatively
stated that this will be the next step In the
line of improvementa of the company In
this part of the county. Street cars to
Fort Crook have been wished for a long
time by South Omaha people, and It Is now
believed ' their dreams are to be realised
the coming summer.
Moving to Illah School.
The work of removing the effects of the
superintendent and the members of the
high school faculty to the new building
hue occupied the last week almost entirely,
but the work Is now almost completed. Su
perintendent McLean was well tired out
with the work last evening, as were all
thos engaged In it. Secretary Laverty
said yesterday that the board had not as
yet taken any action toward remodelling
the old building, and In all probability It
would be continued In use as a school
building until the vacation time. The hew
high school Is now about ready for occu
pancy. The work of painting and decora
ting Is on In earnest The building is to be
formally opened to the public March 24.

TOM JOHNSON LOSES A POINT
Refusal at Rlectrle Company to Pro
dare Books at Bribery Iavestl. -aatloa
Sastalned.
CLEVELAND, O., March 11. -Judge Bea
com. In common pleas court, today granted
the petition of the Cleveland Electric Il
luminating company for a perpetual In
junction restraining the 'ity council. Mayor
Johnson, City Solicitor Baker and the city
of Cleveland from enforcing or attempting
to enforce any order on the company to
produce Its hooks and papers at the coun
cllmanlc bribery Investigation.
The books were wanted to provs the alle
gation that the Cleveland Electric Illu
minating company had contributed to the
campaign fund of republican members of
the city council and made direct payments
of money to two democratic members of
the same body. The councllmanlc Investi
gation of these charges by Mayor Johnson
was stopped pending the decision by Judge
Beacom regarding the right of the council
to compel the production of the company's
books.
The court holds that the council has no
authority to try Its members upon a charge
of bribery or of "undue Influence," and
that If. such charges are made the proper
trial tribunal Is before a Judge and Jury.
The case will be taken to the court of ap
peals Immediately.
DETECTIVES COMMENCE WORK
San Francisco Officials at Honolulu
Seeking; to Solve Mystery of Mrs.
Stanfor"- Mpatb.
SAN FRANC16i.T.i h 11. Captain of
Detectives Burnett s.iU lo-ay that he would
take no decisive action In the case of Mrs.
Stanford until the receipt of a report from
the officers sent to Honolulu to fully In
vestigate the circumstances connected with
her death.
The police deny that any more discoveries
of bicarbonate of soda or of strychnine
have been made among the Stanford ef
fects. No strychnine, they pay, haa at
any time during the Investigations since
January 14 been found anywhere In the
Stanford house In this city or at the Hono
lulu hotel where Mrs, Stanford died, be
yond that reported to have t;een found by
the chemist In the bottle of mineral water
In this city and In the bicarbonate of soda
bottle at Honolulu. Some time ago small
quantities of old bicarbonate of soda were
found In the Stanford house In California
street, but this Is not regarded either as
extraordinary or of any value as evidence,
for the fact that Mrs. Stanford's frequent
use of bicarbonate of soda has long been
known to all persons closely associated
with her.
HONOLULU, March 11. Detectives Rey
nolds and Callunden, who are engaged In
Investigating the causes leading to the
death of Mrs. Jane I Stanford, say the
Immediate developments in the case are
not to be expected. The officers are work
ing In company with each other. A report
published here that another detective was
among the Ama Alameda passengers Incog
nito has not been borne out by an In
vestigation. President David Starr Jordan and
Timothy Hopkins today called on Governor
Carter.
Dr. C. W. B. Wood, one of the surgeons
who performed the auopsy, considers as
absurd the theory which has been ad
vanced that Mrs. Stanford died of angina
pectoris. He says that the presence of
strychnine, which Is foreign to bicarbonate
of soda, In the bottle disproves the theory
that Mrs. Standford died from naturul
causes.
At the request of Dr. David Starr Jor
dan, Governor Carter will be an honorary
pall bearer In the funeral procession here.
