Frosts occurred in Iowa and eastern Nebraska on May 26th and 27th. The weather has been unusually cool in most localities. The reports from Dakota are that the season is about three week later than usual. The jury in the great Sheedy murder trial at Lincoln brought in a verdict of acquittal as to both defendant A cold blooded mnrder was committed in the early evening, in the capital city, and it is not probable that the purpetrator of the crime will ever be brought to jus tice. The verdict appears to have been a surpiie tc most people. The medical and surgical institute at Qmaha has been investigated by the au thorities and the result is that three of the "doctors" are under arrest, charged with murder. A number of startling 'developments have been made during the 'investigation and the institute appears to have been a veritable den of crime. ft good many people have paid good big ees for treatment and some have en tered there and been carried out dead. he whole affair will .likely be sifted to the bottom, and the criminals brought to an account at the bar of justice. . . ... i , .i.i. annular toe l.nii-i- ;.c "- M-asuii did much to cau the n t - ' lJii. and the- c.iii-laiut ar-.-f I .. . . iii . ... .1 i. i iam jt Hie siuwr. iiju .n. -: - frtv heeded the wafim.g H'- .n-u-i- . uiiL-ht have Ua averted to .juite w. ex tent.
