Another ruined home , another sorrowltif

agent , and sort of citch-ns-cutcli-c.inhuslncsi :
man , who resides nt 170) ) Duvunport street , li
'n remorseful prisoner nt the police station
charged with adultery. Mrs. Welch Is mori
than un ordinarily pretty woman , of mcdlun
stature , liut with n form that Is the picture o
grace and symmetry. Her hair is dark-
black as the raven's wing and inclined ti
wave , wiiilo her eyes , under beautiful ! ;
nrclicd brows , tire of that Indescribably en
tlclng gray of which poets arc wont to rave
She Is un Intelligent little woman , too , am
told her unhappy story to u HIH : rcjKjrte
with that air of refinement that always dc
notes a certain familiarity with the bette
circles of life. She mild :
"I was married when I was but fourteci
years * of ago ; now I am thirty-eight. M ;
parents resided hero in Omaha , aim the inai
whom I have called husband for the pas
fourteen years was a boarder at our house
My parents were very strict with me , it
truth , despite Iho fact that I was an enl :
child , Ill-trcatod and abused mo , for some In
explicable cause , from my Infancy. 1 neve :
knew the love , the solicitude and watchfu
care of a mother , for it was she who was PS
pccially cruel to me. Mr. Welch was kind U
mo In those days ; he talked and advisee
with me , In fact made love to me and lUmll ;
Induced mo to run uwuy from homo uni
marry him. However , when 1 did finally con
sent to take this step I knew no nffi'ctio :
for the man ; it was simply n respectful re
gard , and the hope ( hat In him I had fount
u friend who would protect mo and give mi
n happy home. We were married at Plaits
mouth , and went to keeping house there
Wo lived peacefully and happily , as hupp ]
ness goes with those who have been so ill
starred as to have never known what reii
contentment meant , until after the birth o
my second child. I have but two children
and sweet children they arc , too , and I lov
them with all my heart and soul , but I cai
not sco them , in truth I do not know when
they arc. But to go back : After Jennie wa
born , my husband began to abuse me , am
while ho never struck or beat me
ho made mo work to support hit
in idleness , and made our littl
homo a hell on earth , sometimes , whc
in ill-health myself , our condition was rcall
a piteous one. Often there wasn't a bite t
. cat in the house , and myself and childre
would certainly have starved hnd it not bee
for the generous intervention of neighbors. A
Tear or so ago wo came to Omaha , and I too
in boarders , ir.y husband refusing to coi
tribute to my own or the children's supper
Mr. Seward was one of our boarders. II
used to bring things to cat to the house , fc
myself and the children , and was very kin
' in other vvays. Mr. Welch became Jea
OU8 and finally accused Mr. Scwar
of evil designs and said ho had como there t
break up our homo. Ho left , and then m
lot became a harder one than over , my boari
crsono by ono departed , until I found myscl
In a position of abject want. Ono day in m
desperation I sent for Mr. Seward. I meat
to ask him for aid. Ho came and my hui
band mot him , shook hands with him an
asked him to stay with us. But 1m rcfuset
After ho had gone Mr. Welch called m
all the frightful names ho was capable o
and I think bo can use the vile :
language that ever tlowcd from humu
lips. I loft him then , and went to Mn
Dungrcon'B on Sixteenth street , and took I
sowing. Ho took the children from mo , an
kept up such a systematic course of pcrsi
cuiion that I was obliged to leavehci
secretly. I went to the corner of Ninth an
Harney , and under the assumed name c
Mrs. Stewart , again supported myself wit
the needle. I changed my uamo in ordc
that bo might not find mo. Oh , yes , I so.-
Mr. Seward In the meantime. Ho was
true , good friend of mlno and advise
mo to return to my busbau
and children and make another attempt 1
live happily. 1 did not do this I know tin
it was useless. No , God is my witness , thei
are no improper relations existing betwce
Mr. Seward and myself. I hardly think
would marry him wore I released , but ho hi
my undying gratitude. I declined his ndvici
to resume my story , and instead applied for
divorce in the courts hero upon the groum
of lion-support and extreme cruelty. Mr. Uicl
ard Hall is my lawyer. On my taking th
step Mr. Seward left Omaha. Ho wei
to Jackson , Mich. His mother was not e :
peeled to live. Mr.wcleh had threatened 1
kill us both , but Mr * Seward did not k > a\
through fear of him. Ho is a bully and
coward , of course , and no honest man net
have any fear of such creatures as h

thrco other ladles were in my room at tl

charge manufactured by that man. "
Such was the story of Mr
Welsh. The husband's narrative , of cours
varies from the above , and in substance vvi
as follows :
"Mi- name Is W. P. Welch , -li. E. Sowar
a brnkcman on the Union Pacitlc railroad ,
the name of my wife's seducer. They ai
both hero under arrest. The day ufti

Uuing through with Mr. Welch the report
sought out Mr. Seward in his cell. Ho
rut her a line looking fellow , and seems
nowise disconcerted over the position
which ho linds himself. Ho fully corrob
rated the wife's story , and was emphatic
his denials of illicit relations with her.
On being arraigned Mrs. Welch and Soi

chnrgddldn't e.fleet htm. He wasn't doinr
hat kind of business. The stnnd he had
: akon upon the pas question had Hlrendy b'ccn
stated in the nupera. Thu contract with the
gas rnmittiiy had been made bvn preceding
council. If the city owed the gas corn-

the showing of the city auditor the city owed

nore was duo them they could take the mater -
: er to the courts. That was the proper place
to adjust the difficulty. That was why he
favored the payment of the amount upon
which there was no dispute.
Mr. Uedford further said that on the qucs-
; lon of the city hall he favored leaving the
hall where It was originally Intended to lo
cate it. Ho then said : " 1 am tired of this
imslncss. 1 got tired last fall and

Webster about the matter and was told that
t was his opinion if I resigned , us I had been
elected at largo , It would requlro another
election all ever the city to elect my succes
sor. That would require judges and clerks
in every polling precinct in the city. About
that time , you know , wu held u bond election ,
and I asked Mr. Wubster whether the judges
and clerks In that election could not net in n
similar capacity in the election of my successor -
ser , and thus save expense. He said ho ilk !
not think it could bo. done. In other words ,
ho inclined to the belief that an extra corps
of clerks nud Judges should bo employed ,
Now in March wo are going to hold another
election ; this time , for bonds , and I had

could ho called to select n sucecssorto mo.bul

can't be done. It is just like this [ movinp
his hand back and forth ] , as to whether I re
main in the council. Last fall I got disgusted
with the business. It interferes with mypri
vate affairs. Now that I have
taken the stand , I felt bound
to take on the gas bill , il
the gas company sees fit to ' do so , they may
discontinue their relntions'with me , because
I sell them their coal. "
D. T. Mount was present during the con
versatlon and held strongly to the opinior
that the council could call a special electior
for a successor to Mr. Bedford ut the same
time as the bond election in March , and that
the judges and clerks who-should ofliciate at
that election could act in thu matter of thi
successor of Mr. Bedford ut largo.

For some time past a movement has beet

organization in South Omaha is espechill ;

movement is to unify the interests of paekinj

eight hour working day will bo decided upoi

The final result in the matter may bo ex

HEALING WITHOUT MEDICINE

The audiences assembled at the Gram
opera house during the past few week
have boon forcibly reminded of thi
passage of the holy writ as they saw on

French. What his gift of healing is , o
what power ho possesses cannot , bo satis
factorily explained , but the sense c

who wore present saw evidences of
healing power they could nc

their crutches , and the deaf whoso ear

made to hoar a whisper. Eyesight ha
been restored , and the most cxcrucial

great wo.nder is that Dr. French per
forms his cures publicly , and all are in

PERSUADED BY COUNCILMEN
Who Go Ucforc the County' * legisla
ture With Tales of Woe and
the Story of Their Ex
travagance. '
A Depleted Fund.
Councllmen Hascall , Lee , Ford , Lowry ,
Vlanvlllo and Klerstcad , by way of prelude
to their conference with the county commis
sioners yesterday in reference to voting
[ 50,000 in county bonds for grading purposes ,
ld a little tongue sot-too regarding munici
pal affairs , and there was considerable loud
: alk engaged in , which was finally silenced
jy Chairman O'KcetTo ringing the bell on
them. Mr. O'Keeffo said that as ho under
stood the object of the meeting it was to hear
From n committee of the council In reference
to grading.
Mr. Hascall replied that ho did not under
stand it that wa ) ' . It occurred to him that
he had read it in the newspapers that the
commissioners contemplated a call for an
election for voting $50,000 , In bonds for grad
ing purposes.
Mr. O'Keeffo ' responded by saying that the
commissioners hud contemplated nothing of
the kind , and furthermore they hod never
spoken on the subject.He had been con
sulted by Councilman Leo In reference to
voting on the bonds , and ho ( O'ICceffe )
iiail said to Leo that there was no legal obsta
cles in the way to prevent the commissioners
asking the legal voters of the county If they
desired to vote the bonds.
Councilman Lee said that the general fund
of the city was exhausted , and that the coun
cil came to the commissioners asking a favor.
If any grading was to bo done this year it was
desirable that the county should stand her
share of the expense , and it was his opinion
that it would be a good investment.
County Commissioner Turner was of the
belief that the county had about all the ex
penses it could stand , and he couldn't sco how
the county was to bo bcnellted by grading in
the city.
Councilman Manvlllo repeated Councilman
Leo's statement that the city finances were
somewhat depleted , and if any grading waste
to bo done this year tlio county woulil have to
help the council out.
Councilman Hascall ridiculed and criticised
the people who had framed tlio city charter ,
alleging that they did not have the financial
experience necessary for such an undertak
ing. Ho alleged that the coun
cil would have to give up
grading unless the county came in and helped
them out , and ho was positive that it would
revert to the benefit of the county. For the
council to stop grading would be a disaster to
the city , and not a plc.isant one to anticipate.
The council , ho confessed , had got themselves
into a muddle over the city hull mutter , but
they expected to get out of the mire they had
fallen into.
Councilman Kierstead said that the grad
ing of streets would lead to improvements ,
and ho know of two streets that would put
up $100,000 in buildings if they were gradect.
Ho thought Omaha could go a little deeper in
its bonded debt , and ho was confident that if
the voting of $ ,10,000was submitted to the
people it would bo unanimously carried.
Chairman O'Keefo was in favor of voting
$50,000 , as he thought that sum expended in
cither grading in or out of the city would bo
a benefit to the property owner and laboring
man. He also took occasion to give the ex
travagant councilmcn an underhand slap by
saying "that it was true that the county got
its work done cheaper than the city. "
The councilmen went oil on a new tack by
talking upon the proposed $1500,000 bonds for
the Omaha , Yunkton & Northwestern rail
way. Manville congratulated the commis
sioners for going slow , and Ford suid.that .
$100,000 spent in improving the county would
be of more value to Oinuha and Douglas
county than would $ UOO,000 spent on a rail
road.
road.Dr. . George Smith thought that the county
should not stand in with the expenditure oi
money for city purposes. It occurred to him
that living in the west end of the county ,
grading within or up to the corporate limits ,
Would bo of no benefit to him.
Councilman Hascall responded by saying
that the doctor was actuated by sympathy foi
people outside of Omaha , whom Mr. Huscal !
had always had a desire to reach. The onlj
way that this could bo done was by grading
and the expenditure o moncy. More pro-
grcssivcness should actuate the people ol
Omaha and Douglas county and they sbouldn'l
bo afraid to snond a dollar.
Dr. Smith denied that ho was opposed te
improvements. Far from it. The idea he
wished to convey was that the city clmrtei
guvo tlio council authority- spend monej
and make levys for street improvements
which included grading , notwithstanding
that the councilmen maintained that it dk
not.
not.Councilman
Councilman Hascall insisted that the doc
tor did not have a correct knowledge of tin
stipulations of the charter. Councilman
Klerstcad spoke-in the same strain , and was
anxious to have the bonds voted.
Commissioner Turner confessed that he
was at sea , and inquired of the councilmcn il
they did not have power to make a levy for
grading.
Councilman Kicrstead replied that the
cost of grading was paid out of the balance
in the general fund , but that owing to at :
overlap the council could not fall back or
that this year.
The councilmcn then took their leave , anil
the commissioners began the consideration
of the proposition.
Commissioner Mount submitted the follow
ing resolution :
Resolved , That it is the sense of this board
that a proposition bo submitted to the legal
voters of Douglas county as follows : "Shall
bonds of the county of Douglas bo issued in
the sum of $50,000 for the purpose of grading
tlio public highways of said county. "
Commissioner Anderson moved that the
resolution bo referred to the committee on
judiciary. This was seconded , but before n
vote , could bo taken Mr. Mount arose ) anil
said that on account of the fact that ho hut
proposed it and was chairman of the judiciary
committee , he favored its going to somoothei
committee. On his motion it was turned ovoi
to the linanco committee , and the commis
sionurs adjourned.

"Valentino " said letter carrier
day , a yester
day morning , "doesn't set our men pray ing in
this office. On the contrary , it strongly iu-
cites some of us to ejaculations not nil in
keeping with politeness or morality.
First because wo arc loaded to death , next
because the directions on n number of the al
leged saint's missives are entirely illegible
and unreliable ! , and next , because , after
losing time in handling and attempting to
deliver them , we uro forced to consign the
trash to the receptacle for the dead-
letter office. I would not bo
surprised if thousands of tender
doves In this vicinity , who are expecting sen
timental reminders of the day and expres
sions of lovers' appreciation , go to bed tc-
nlght unvisited by the souvenir which they
have been Inspired to expect and all because
of lack of postage and good penmanship and
correct superscription. This is the poorest
Valentino day 1'vo ever known. The
old saint seems to have become a chestnut.
Every year bo's losing worshippers , and even
now there uro thousands of young folks who
don't give fig for him. "
The stores have made little ndo about Val
entino day. Nearly all of them have brought
into light old stocks and made attempts to
sell them at new prices , but without much
success. _
The Burlington Cuts.
'Yes , the cut is made and it goes into effect
to-morrow , " said a B. fi M. oftlcial to a BEB
reporter yesterday. Rates on corn and
oats have noon reduced 8 cents per 100
jtounds from all our stations in ICunsa and
Nebraska to Chicago. The same rate will DO
made to East St. Louis and Mississippi
river jraints , instead of the former illfTerenUal

a systematic } course of Hosteller's Stomach
ach Bltterg , the finest and most genial

able persistence. Easier , plcasanter and
safer this than to swash the victualling

holic or the reverse , beef extracts , nerve
foody , narcotics , sedatives and poisons in
disguise. "Tired Nature's sweet restorer ,

pcrant of wealc nerves , and this glo
rious franchit-o being usually the consequences
quences of sounel digestion and in
creased vigor , the great stomachic which
insures both , is productive also of re

freshed awakens the individual who
uses it , but vigorous , clear headed and
