S. F..ir and Henry II. J.-ckens were not
amenable to trial ny tne state court
for the killing of Morgan, the deserter,
and accordingly granted their petition
for a writ of habeas corpus, tays the
State Journal.
Morgan deserted from Ike army in
18!)8, nd, biing recaptured, was heid
at Fort Crook until Novembar 17, lart,
when ho et-cipeJ. Fair ana Jockens
we:esent in pursuit of him, with or

In his opinion on the cas Juige
Munger stales that a judgment f "not
guilty" by a military cou t-martial is
not a bar to the prosecution for the
same act by the civil authorities. He
finds that an order'triven by an officer
should be obeyed by a private,and will
be full protection in a criminal prose
cution unless the illegality of the or
der is such that it would be apparent
to tho commonest intellect; and that
when care and discretion is used by an
officer of the United States, his acts
are not to be judged by the criminal
laws of a sta'e
In the close of his opinion the judge
says: ' tinaing, as 1 do, that the act
was performed, as shown by the evi
dence, in the performance of their
duly as soldiers of the United States, it
follows that the state courts are with
out jurisdiction in a criminal proceed
ing to determine whether they ex
ercised proper care, judgment and
discretion in the discharge of their
duties. For this reason the imprison

From Monday's Daily.
The third concert given by the B. &

tended by the music lovers of our city,
and "the frequent applause and numer
ous encores accorded them testified the
appreciation of the audience cf the K
high class of rou-ic furniTbea oy mis
organ iz ition.
The opining numbers by the hand
were rendered with precision and ta9te
that characterized each performance
ar.d showed c ireful practice, combined
with musical ability. Mrs. Steppan
plaved a violin solo beautifully, and
delighted everyone with her artistic
and delicate conception t'.nd interpre
tation of tho difficult composition
chosen by her. Mies Kelley as an ac-
companist diep ayed excellent taste tn
making her part subordinate, but sus
tained the violinist with daintyness
and delicacy of touch that was ex
tremely pleasing.
Miss Kelley also appeared as a eo-
prano eoloist and gave a beautiful se
lection, with violin obligato by Mrs.
Steppan, and Miss Kesler at the piano.
Miss Kellev uiseesses many qualifica-
ti)n8 f(jr artistic eoi0 work, and it is
hoped eho may appear again in our
city on the concert stage. A duet for
two cornets by Messrs. Currier and
Maiden was extremely well played.
In response to an encore the duet from
Norma was given with excellent taste
and method.
L-o Steppan delighted the audienc?
with a saxophone solo his exquisite
playing: being a revelation to those
who had not heard him before.
The work of the band as a whole was
most satisfactory, and the line music
given Saturday evening r fleets great
credit on Mr. Schulhof, under whose
direction they have attained their
great degree of proficiency.
Distnrbetl the Feace.
The mistress of a dive in the north
part of town appeared before Judge
Archer this morning and asked that
warrants be issued for the arrest of
two young men, who hd raised a
lively disturbance at her place while
in an intoxicated condition. One of
the young fellows worKs at the shops,
and he was brought in, and, after hav-J
in. a hearing. Judge Archer decided
that $j and costs amounting in all to
$8 05 would be the bill for violating
the law. His sentence, however, was
suspended until pay day. The other
ycu'ig man works out in the country,
and the officers have not as yet been
able to locate him.
The officers also 'arrested a young
ra in on the 6treet Saturday night for
being diunkand in various ways di: -turbing
the peace of other citizens.
He was fined $5 this morning, which
sum he paid and went his way.
A Successful Affair.
The basket social attheOJd Fellows
hall, given by the Daughters of Re-

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberleiu's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
a bottle open all the time, and when
ever any of my family or myself begin
to catch cold we begin to use the
Cough Remedy, and as a result we
never have to send for a doctor and in
