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.

promise of marriage. When tlie jury
