THE DEFENSE TO BEGIN TO-DAY.
tho
Close of the Prosecution in
Arensdorf Trial.
Siolx City, la., Nov 23. The new
turn affairs have taken in the Arensdorf
case is a general surprise f.nd has become
the principal theme of conversation ami
speculation in the city. The story told
by Mrs. Josephson, substantially as re
ported in these dispatches yesterday, is
discussed freely in all its various j. liases,
coming as it did so unexpected, being in
its nature so direct, positive and damag
ing to Arensdorf. Many are inclined to
hesitate before forming an opinion as to
the merits of the testimony until later.
However, it must be admitted that a very
large proportion of those consulted be
lieve the testimony to be true. Mrs.
Josephson proved to be a most interest
ing witness. In her statements she was
straightforward and the most trying and
severe crosH-examination failed to break
the weight of her direct evidence, while
many believe it only strengthened it.
Among other things she testified to hav
ing kr.own Arensdorf about five years;
knew also Paul Leader, I fairy Shennan,
Bismarck, Harry Peters and had sen
Hev. Haddock. This being the case, she
was in the best possible position to dis
tinguish the various actors and conspira
tors in this great tragedy. And whit
she knew she was able to state in a man
ner carrying great weight. Mie was
watching to see what Bismarck and the
crowd were going to do while waiting
for her husband to return from an errand.
Benjamin Josephine, the husband of
the foregoing witness, also testified in
substance, a a follows: "Saw a man on
t!u crossing coming from towards the
Columbia house; saw a crowd on Dincn's
coiner; saw Arensdorf and Peters step
out and inert the man on tho crossing;
saw Arensdorf fire a revolver and the
man on the crossing fall."
After examining Murice Kosnitski, a
daughter of Bismarck, th ." state rested its
case.
The defense will begin the examina
tion of its witnesses this morning.

painters employed on the New court
house, fell a distance of 45 feet to-day,
an l both wrre killed. They had just
erected their scaffold, when a rope broke.
Copeland's neik waj broken and Nugent
was killed bv the shock evidently, as no
bones were broken, and there were butfew
bruises upon him. A younger brother of

caught hold of a rope and hung there
until rescued. Copeland was a married
man and llvrd in Denver. Nugent was

Transferred to Mexico.
El Paso, Tex., November 21. Rev,
Mr. J. D. Scoggins, who has been for
some time presiding elder of the El Paso
Pistrict of the Methodist Episcopal church
wa3 trausferred by the annual conference
of that church, recently held atMonclova,
Mexico, aa a foreign missionary to the
State of Cnaloa, Mexico. There is a large
protestant population in that stat1, with
a single minister, and as Mr. Scoggins is
of an energetic and aggressive tempera
ment it is thdu'ght his ginng to that jtop-
tio-i of the Pacific coast will result in a
grcit deal of good. He will have a
chance to work the misguided and terrib
ly deceived socialists of Topolobampo,
who arc colonized uly a short distauce

Bright Prospects For Getting the
National Republican
Convention
Nkw Yokk, Mow 2 A number of
the executive committee of the national
republican committee have bet 11 seen in
reference to Omaha's offer for the next
convention. Senator Paddock has been
active in pushing Omaha's cliims and
has urged every argument likely to in
fluence favorable action. No decision
will not be made until the meeting of
the entire committee at Washington on
the day congress opens.
Senator Tom Piatt was seen to-day and
spoke encouragingly of Omaha's chances.
The chief objection urged is the possible
lark of hotel facilities A strong effort
will be made by the New York members
011 behalf of Siiatogi while Chicogo's
1 la'ins will be vigorously pushed. A
prominent republican editor to-day ven
tured the prediction that the convention
would not be held live miles distant from
Lake Michigan. Omaha should make
clear her ability to handle the crowd
that will certainly be in attendance if
she hope? to secure serious consideration,
PLEA FOR ADULTERATION.
A ReaTer Trios to IIake Out That It
Isn't So Very Objectionable.
"Now, then," said a dealer, "let us look at
tho inciter in another li.ht. Is tho adultera
tion a better word for which would be re
duction of spiec3 injurious to the health i
i-Tuko pepper, for instaneo, an-1 mustard
al-io. Very few people would u:w pepjicr if
they could buy it as cheap as the ordinary
kind sold, because it is too strong. Ic is re
duced with buckwheat middlings, a very
mild adulterant certainly, with some roasted
coeoanut shell, which is perfectly harmless,
thrown in for a coloring mixture. In the
case of mustard the ue of wheat flour is be
lieved to be conducive to the health of tho
consu:i:er. and tho tumeriek usjd for color
ing is used in small q-.:antitie iii:d cannot
hurt v.-jy one.
"Almond and coeoanut shells, with nier.ly
substances as tho base, are used in Ike manu
facture of most all spices. There is no givat
er profit to either the jobbing or retail trude
in selling the adulterated gols. but the lat
ter are kept and sold because of the demand
for cheaper prices than could be made on tho
pure articles. Very likely, too, tho reduced
spices would be more sought for at tho same
price in many instances, if brought into com
petition with the strictly pure goods. It
may be taken for granted that no reputable
manufacturer will knowingly use any adul
terants which are deleterious in their nature
or injurious in the quantities used.
'In coiTee there is less adulteration now
than formerly, most of the trade being in the
berry roasted and sold whole. The high
prices prevailing just nuw for the cheaper
eoiTees lias caused some demand for tho chic
ory and roasted pea compounds, which arc
sold ground, in bulk. The poorer clas
of private consumers only buy this
kind of coiTee at the stores. But
the advance in price has caused a demand for
chicory and peas among tne large restaur
ants, dispensing fragrant eofl'ee nt five cents
a cup, and doubtless there are many persons
who havo learned to love the strength of chic
ory and have grown fond of the healthful
pea, which contains 95 per cent, of nourish
ment, and is not as trying on the nerves as
red strong pure coffee.
Tho Germans in the Fatherland buy their
chicory at the store just as they do their
co.'fee, and do the mixing at home to suit
themselves. I knew an old gentleman when
I was in the trade some years ago who always
called for that twelve cent cofiee, which he
said he liked because it contained more peas
than coffee,"
In conclusion, he stated that the whole sub
ject of l-eduction or adulteration was one
wiueh was not fully understood by the pub
lic, and not always correctly stated by the
press. The very word "adulteration'1 meant
prison to many people, who labored under the
delusion that they were being defrauded and
endangered in health as a consequence of the
improved and cheapened processes of manu
facture in the line of food product. Chicago
