the ( | iicstion without gloves , mid
was listened to from beginning to end
with profound nlluiition , hii rutnnikn
being forcible and his nrgutiiotitH
logical. Ho brgau with it brief state
ment of the circumstances of the
tr.igcdy ; the inquest which was con
ducted by able attorneys , before 11 jury
of our best citi/eiiH whoso names ho
read ; the testimony , which wan from
expert physicians and substantial
business inou and the verdict , which
ho also road. Upon the btrongth
of this ho assumed the
position that Col. Watson
Jt. Smith was murdered , that all theo
ries of Hiiiuidu and accidental death
and then
were mere moonshiiiu ,
readied his subject proper by taking
up the intention of "Wlio was respon-
eililo for the murder " This ho pro
ceeded In ntwwur by implicating
nearly every clam uf citizens and pro-
frssiotial moil. Ho was first of nil
of the opinion that
HUM
WdH directly responsible for
tlio murder. llo thought
the murderer , if not n liquor dealer
himself was under the iiillucnco of
rum at thu time ho committed tlio
cloud , though this point is not very well
taken. Uo did not believe tlio .Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' Union was
ruspiiiiRiblu n an organization , nor did
ho think the Committee of Salcity hud
any hand in the crime , but ho thought
it wiw thu natural outgrowth of the
traflic iteolf and perhaps tlio act of some
dealer who WIIB opposed to the posi
tion taken by Col. Smith.

were obliged by their oaths to see the
laws and city ordinances enforced
( this point was thoroughly established
by Gon. Mandoreon , the city
attorney , in a wriit'ii opinion , u year
a o ) and they had violated .their
official oatlm in the failure for BO long
n time to piss any ordinance for the
enforcement of the Slocumb law.
This had thrown the burden of tmcli
onforcomout upon a few private indi
viduals , wl-oso nctivo ageui Cd.
Smith had unfortunately boon. In

over the coals and the
clergy relinked for their backwardness
in coming forward on the all impor
tant mioiition. Mr. Harris Huiel the
troublu was that thu people didn't
want any topics discuHsed that might

tion. As for himself , however , the
speaker oHsortod his intention of hit-

CARRIE'S CLOSE CALL.
A Lady Queat nt a Hotoi
Breathes Two Ounces
of Chloroform ,
And Then Denies That She
Intended to Commit
Suicide.
A Certainly Sensational Case \Vitl
n Zilttln Roiuauoo TliroKrn In.
Tlio attendance of DrB. Mercer ! ant
Chadwick was hnstily Hiimmoncd at
the Occidental hotel on Tenth street
yesterday afternoon , in what seemed
to bo a case of attempted and , per
hap ? , fuiccL'Kjful suicide.
Two or three weeks ago , a very
pretty , well drowsed and evidently relined -
lined lady , giving her nimo : as Mrs ,
Carry iJodino , secured accomoda-
datioris for horeolf and a little daught
er ut the hotel , She &ODII became a
favorite guest at the house , nnd by
her many guntlo ways secured the
friendshjo > o.f all she mot. Although
somewhat ntVaighloned for means , bur
lady like deportment indicated that
she had been bred for MI gnntlci
life. At times olio ucemod
to BUlFor from great melancholy
and depression of spirits , nnd would
frequently bo found weeping in her
room. Gradually she told something
of her life to another lady boarder nt
the hotel nnd disclosed enough of
her history to indicate that she hnd
been accustomed in earlier years to
pleasure and luxuries which wealth
affords , llor little daughter , called
.Jessie , is a sprite of a girl three and
one-half years old , and as pretty n
child as otio could find in n long
search.
Gradually Mrs. Bodinu's moans ran
short ami for the past two or throe
days she has appeared to bo in thu
greatest despondency. Yesterday
shortly before noon she requested
the porter to purchase hot
some chloroform ut tlio drm <
store opposite the hotel. llu
was tinablo to obtain it at the time ,
but in a fuw minutes a boy from the
drug utoro brought over n two-ouueo
bottle of this amusthotio and carried
it to MM. Hodino's room. After ob
taining the chloroform she informed a
lady occupying the next room that
she was going to lie down a little
while , and did not want to be dis
turbed until a certain hour. The lady
had observed the boy deliver the
chloroform and questioned Mra. Ito-
cliuo pretty closely about it , where
upon the latter responded that she
was Millering from aovoro pain nnd
ck-Bired to rulievo it ; that she had fro-
qucuitly taken the drug to quiet hut
and would not take too much.
In about an hour Mrs. Painter , the
proprietress of the hotel , was passiny
Mr3. Bodino's room , and pushed the
partly closed door open , think
ing that bur guest had forgotten it
was already past dinner time.
She saw Mrs Bodiuo lying on the
bed willinhandkerchief uthor nostrils ,
and the air in the room very strong
of thu smell of chloroform. She took
away the handkerchief , which had
evidently been saturated , and endeav
ored to nrouso the sleeper , but found
her entirely Houseless nnd apparently
inanimate , liy the ndvico of Mrs.
Graham the recently injured lady ,
the most vigorous restorations ) were
at once applied nnd Dra. Mercer and
Chadwick uunt for. Both medical
gentlemen arrived quickly , nnd com
menced n protracted and dotuimined
effort to arouse the woman from her
stupor. At length tlio chloroform suc
cumbed to the vigoiouii treatment
and thu patient wai awakened. ' Dur
ing the efforts of resuscitation the two
ounce bottle fiom which the drug had
been poured was found under the
pillow. Only a few drops were loft in
it , and nearly nil the contents had
evidently been poured upon the hand-
kurchici at oucu , Thu best of treat
ment \\.V3 rendered the patient nnA
she gradually rallied from the effects
of her doso.
As soon us Mrs. Hodiuu was ublu
to talk , shn was neon by a reporter of
TiiK Itr.ic , who wns anxious to find out
the cause of what seemed so cleaily a
cuao of attempted nelf-dostraction.
Tlio lady denied in tote the theory of
hot- wishing to "slmlllo oil' this mortal
euil/'juul said that she hud of ten taken
greater doses than two ounces of
ehloiofonn , and had slept it oil' with
out injury , She said that pain in her
Head nearly drove her uild , nnd she
had to take something to bring sleep
i lid relief. This Boomed to ulfeolually
knock the suicide sensation in the
liead , and the reporter was about to
leave , when his attention was called
Itynguuatof the hotel to other facts.
The informant stated that there was n
man ( instead of n woman ) in the case ;
that this individual hud haon stopping
at llio " ' f"r a week or moro , nnd
bad bitii on tlio iiunt intimate nnd
friendly U'rnn with the interesting
widow , m Mix. Kodlno claim * to be- ,
.and that a quarrel between them had
cuisecl him to leave the hotel for
ntiothcr bonrding place yesterday
moruiiiir
This c'linmencod to make the mat
ter Btill more intorostiin , ' . As soon : v
the man rnfeired to could bu found ho
was summoned to the hotel. Thu
lady i\ai then conscious , and thu
moetinj ; seen by thofo who "happen
ed to bo around" was of the most uf-
footing character , This seemed to
give Homo plausibility to the latter
part of the i tory , but , when spoken
to , the nriu denied any relations with
Mrs. Hodino beyond those of.it friend
ly intiire. llo said that ho hsid
known her and her sister , MM. Tugg ,
who lives ut Waco , Nob. , for a num
ber ol in xiths , and had previously re-
Bided in thu .1,11110 boarding house with
tliuin ; but that ho was more than n
friend to the wom-in who had au near
ly crossed the dark river ho refused
to conct do. Moreover , both of the
parties denial tliut there had been
uiiy dilfcrcuccs or quarrel between
them.
The unusual quantity of chloroform ,
nnd twu I'XpicastoiiH , at different times
during tlio jiist week , by Mrs. Bodinu
to a lady in the hotel , ( lint she v.ni
"tired < 'f ' life , " would Bc > em to point to
attempted suicide. llur strenuous
denial afterward of such tin intent ,
and the alleged dosiru to ulleviato a
headache , may support the pleasantcr
theory of a mistake in the power of
the driii ; . That moro than unusual
bonds of sympathy hold the woman tc
the mini who figures in the case wai
demonstrated by her conduct while ho
was quite ill lat > t week , she watchiuu
for days by his bedside , day and
night. Whether there wns : t quarrel ,
adoFertion , mid subsequent attempt
by a loving womin : to quiet her heart'
ache by death , is onu of those prob-
lumtia which it is butter to louvo un
solved
Mrs. Bodine is understood to ba one
of tlio remaining members of Hio Bo-
dine family of Willinnisburg , Now
Jersey , who figured quite conspicu
ously , financially and otherwise , years
ago in the Ocean Beach state. Site
married a man named Tate , who is
now deul , but from whom she sepa
rated in San Francitco about three
years ago. After her husband's jteath
she took her maiden name. "All's
well that ends well , " and it is hoped
that the young man in the case will do
the square thing by a woimin who is
evidently moro than devoted to him
iilone.
A BIG STEAL.
A Mnti Accused of Cnrrj'ing Off a.
"Whole BwclHiiK Honso-
A warrant waa issued on Saturday
evening for n man named Jamca
B.ikcr , who was employed as engineer
at the planing null of Ilosenborry
Bros. , on Marcy street.
The cliargn ayainst lltknr is a pret
ty heavy ono , being n system of thefts
from the mill yards and elsewhere ,
covoiiiig a period of several months at
least and from which enough ma
terial was obtained to erect for
himself n dwelling house out on
Hickory street. The maneuvering re
quired to do this , to say nothing of
the actu il work , would in itself be no
small job , but it is claimed that every
thing , from lumber , doors , sash and
window frames , to the tarpaper "used
on the roof , was obtained in the same
way , and oven the tools used in the
construction of the house were carried
oil' from a man working in the Union
J'acitic shops.
Some one gave Baker a pointer on
his danger on Saturday , and consequently
quently when ho saw the ollicors approach
preach the planing mill on Saturday
evening ho tied in such haste that ho
did not stop to shut ( l-jv.'ii tlio engine ,
which continued to run for half an
hour afterward , before the fire went
clown or thu true state of iill'airs was
discovered.
Finding that the man had inndo his
escape , the otlicura wont to his house
where his wife was found and u search
being made u nail keg of carpenter's
tools and a roll of tarred cloth were
jnom'ht nway , the former being since
i loiitified by the owner , who had a
private brand on thcnnuid carried the
urauding iron with him. Baker had
not been found up to yesterday and
has probably skipped the country ,
The huuso will bo torn down again at
once by the owners of the material.

could have brought to them the rich
est productions of the entire woild
without moving from tlu-ir coiufortn
bio hotnuB , has been nearly realized it
the conveniences brought by the rap
idly increasing number of rnilroids
completed and under conatrtlcttoi
n/bout Omaha.
The long nrms of glittering stee
stretch out in every direction , am
iron steeds come and go with their
loads of produce and wealth , unti
every part of this wonderful countrj
of OUM haa been laid under tribute ti
supply the wnnta of the people of
this city , who tire BO happilj
located as to draw their luxurici froii
the Atlantic or Pacific , from the sunni
soil of Mexico or the fertile vullics o
the Red river of the North. This fac
waa forcibly brought to mind ycster
day by conversation with a gcntlcinai
who had just returned from Sioux
Fulls , a beautiful city on the Big Sioux
river , northwest of Sioux City. Jt ie
ono of the most promising little cities
of Dakota , numbering a population
now of nearly 3,500 aa aeainst 400 ii
1878 , nu example of the marvellous
yet substantial growth of western
towns. Beautifully situated on a bent
in the river , the place is further con
nected with thooutsido world by the two
lines of railway , the Chicago , St. P.aui
Minncapolis and Omaha and the Chicago
cage , Milwaukee and St. P.iul ,
the former , our direct Hue , crossing
the Missouri at Covington. Alighting
from the train on : i recent fristy
morning , our informant found him
self with a few leisure hours ou hands
in which to look around and proceeded
to put the time in to the best advan
tage by examining the property of the
Sioux Falls Water Power company ,
which forms the nucleus of the
wealth and industry of the town.
Passing by n valuable stono-quarry ,
crossing the river on the ice to tlio
wooded island of eleven acres , and
from that by a couple of bridges span
ning the main channel to the opposite
shore , the great establishment known
as the Queen JJeo Mill , with its clus
ter of buildings about it is reached.
The mill is located on the south bank
of the river , upon a foundation of
solid rock , shelved by a growth of
scrub pine and Scotch" ) fir trees which
rear their trunks from the bed of rock
and creep out even to midstream , to
1-attlo with the current for a foothold
and subsistence.
The most prominent ot the buildings
is the mill proper which is eighty by
one hundred feet in size , and seven
stories , one hundred feet , in height.
The walls of the vast structure are
ns massive as if built to resist
the earthquake's shock. They are of
stone , tapering in thickness from five
and ono-half feet at the base to three
feet at the eaves , and surmounted by a
roof of iron , which makes thu building
fire proof. This is ono of the finc'st
Homing mills in the world , and was
just completed'having ( been begun in
the spring of 1879) ) at the enormous
cost of § 3(50,000. ( In the provisions
for such an institution hero , nature
seems to have been more than lavish ,
and her generosity has been supple
mented by the aid of ample capital
ami wide experience , which have
drawn upon every source for
the newest and most complete
milling machiueiy in existence.
Situated in the heart of the wonderful
wheat region of Dakata and Minnesota
seta and adjoining the Red Hirer
country , tb.ii , was believed to bo the
spot for the location of such an enter
prise as tliiu in which to manuf.tcturo
Hour , after the Hungarian process ,
that should equal any in the world.
Tlio building is heated by steam and
I'H fitted from bottom to top
with the most valuable ami
improved machinery. This is
of too complex n ckBuiiptiun to at
tempt to explain , but tlio imigiiificoiit
equipments inc'udo ' fifty onu Smith
puritiurt ) , the contest over which
net'led be-
pitont was rccutitly -
t euii the National Mi loin' as
sociation nnd the pttoi.ties for
? ; } li,000,000. Thoio are also Uo
cucklo macbintu , sixty-two tot of
rolluiti ( it being the roller process ) ,
and eoveii run of Btoiio , equalling
about twontvthroo additional rollers ,
and making n all u compli-mont equal
to eitjlitv-livo rollers , Tnreo biuah
machines , throe eop.uatoM , thteo
dust looms , and three iloora of bolting
clu-sts must still bo enumerated ,
and up and down , through
all this machinery , twelve tripe , from
m't to dome , must bu ma < lo by the
wheat before it is transformed into
the highly prized Hour. The present
cip.icityof the mill is 1,200 bunvla
daily , with a capacity of i00 ! barrel *
increase , making J-100 in all. Thu
motive power is an interesting study.
The race or entril is cut through solid
rock for a distance olI''a feet and
from it the crystal waters of the Dig
Sioux plunge through a tubular
shaped , uir tight , iron pathway
upon the great wheel above the
fulls , and from the wheel
house to the bed of the river below ,
through u similar air tight , iron
" " and resembling
"escape , sixty foot high
ling on the outaido the iron tanks in
UDO on some railroads. Twenty feet
can bo added to the fall by moving a
little further down. The race is coy-
orcd in winter so aa to prevent inter
ference from ice , nnd n protection
wall of solid lock , over five hundred
feet in length , runs from the head ol
the eamil , or near the blacksmith
Miop to the mill , so lh.it the Hoods
cannot prevail against them , Fromtho
whieMmuso to t'ho null runs a great
shaft wliich cnlitricts or expinds
with tlio vntyiiigtumpcmfu.ro. With
in the mill eveiything is kept BO scru
pulously clean tlut no pnrtlclu of
dust can bo POCII anywhere , men be
ing employed cunstuntly in watching
that nothing of the kind collects any
where , jind tlio daintiest lady may
with her gloved hands pick up n pin
from any of the lloora without snilinu
the white kid.
A few year * ago a specimen of the
peculiar stone 01 which ihu Queen
IJce , the wall , dam and buildings are
constructed , and. in fact , fomw the
foundation of the whole city , waa
taken to an eastern lapidary who pr <
nminced it to be genuine jasper , of
which the walls of the * ew .Jerusa
lem tire to be built and it is no sur
prise that fiom thu jj.xtes of such nn
establishment wliich vies in con
struction with the heavenly citj ,
coiuea the pearliest of 'lour. Surely ,
with ull tlio loc.il advantages , tlio
quality of wheat lit liund , the coatly
machinery , the lavUh outlay of cip-
itnl and the ciiiisciutitiona care he-
stowed on every detail tif the wonder
ful process , it would bo surprising if
I he product w.m not good and , thore-
fete , if such a thing us good flour can
bo mailo anywhere it tuny bo guar
anteed from the Queen lice mill.
Thu boiler house , from which not
only the mill but the adpining build-
insfs are luated , iaaoino distance away ,
in .50 bylii feyt in si/.o and also built
t * jasper.
Immediately to rear of the mill is
the elovutor and warehouse , two sep
arate buildings. The elevator is sixty
by eifihty feet in tir.e and aix stories
hiiih , run by water power and has a
storage capacity of 1150,000 , bushels.
Thu compuny also owns several ele
vators on the two railroads named ,
in the towns of lower Minnesota and
Dakota , with a capacity of 200,000
bushels , makinq in ull : i grand total of
1540,000 bushel * .
Thewarohousoisliftyjbyonohuiidred
nnd forty-two tcet in fize , four stories
high anil has a ctpacity of 10,000 bar
rels of flour , and feed in pioportiou.
West of the mill are the cooper shop
and blacksmith shor , constructed on
the sumo u'eiural and gotierous plan.
The cooper shop is two stories high
and 30 by 150 foot in siw1. From'it
to the mill is n chute iiOO feet lonj ,
through which thu bariola mo fired n.
soon as completed directly into the
door of 1he mill and : n the latter tuns
night and day the barrels are c > n
tinually rolling down this inclimu
piano and looking like business sure
cnoui > h.
The business olVieo and countinj ,
room of thu mill are finished in :
style moro elegant than any bank 01
headquarters building in Omaha
beautifully grained woods , elegair
cabinet desks , French plate glass
mirrored pinels and handsome ,
veneers combining to nuke it a lovely
room.
The business of the mill is facili
tated by the two railroads , both oi
which have run their tracks within a
few feet of the mill building. From this
the company has built a double track
and put in a transfer table , so that
the cars are run in empty ou one side
and out on the other loaded. Ono
hundred and forty-six trains , of thir
ty cars each , will thus bo loaded every
year , and in producing this grand re-
Bult , over ono hundred and tifty men
are given employment in the mill , cl-
ovator , w rehouse , cooper shop am
b'acksmith shops.
The delicious flour made hero is jusl
now bfing put on tlio mitkot i :
