Justice Fox handed down his decision yes
terday In the eighteen suits In which the
Plattsmouth railway men wcro garnished
by W. E. Fraser. In every ono a Judgment
was entered up against the railway man , the
amounts ranging all the way from $ ! W to $75.
The following are the names of the defend-
anta against whom the Judgments were
rendered : C. E. Duke , Charles M. Foster ,
James Pine , W. II. Malcck , Jacob Houck , L.
A. Newcomer , J. D.iwson , It. E. Kr.rncs , G.

F. ICanllsh , M. Cron3. All are In tlio
employe of the 11. ft M. The repeated
continuances , witness fees and other ox-
pcnaes connected with the trial , had run up
a largo bill of costs which will have to bo
paid by the. defendants , together with the
amount of their respective debts. How
much thb Increase will amount to may bo
Judscd fnini one particular case which was
settled a few days ago. The defendant pre
sented himself to Jimtlca Fox before the
trial and said he had all the litigation
ho wanted and was ready to compromise.
The amount sued for originally was fc ! : . ' , but
ho had to pay $ .Vi in settling. The costs in
the other cases will amount to the same.
It was in connection with the trial of these
cases that Justice Fox fined the two attor
neys , K. II. Wooley of Lincoln and D. O.
Divyer of Plattsmouth , for contempt of
court , they having Hied anaflldavit in which
they alleged that the court was non compos
mentis. The contest case also cam1) up for
a decision. Wooley was present , and put in
another request for mercy , asking the court
to make the records read as if the objec
tionable aflUlavit had never been lllcd , but
his request was denied. The court allowed
his decision to stand as It was on the llrst
day , and Wooley paid his * 5 and costs with
out another murmur , rather than go to jail.

so that the Judgment of the court could not
bo visited upon him. The court announces ,
however , that If ho ever knows of Dwyer
coming into Iowa ho will arrest him and send
him to Jail. Uwyer is safe so long as ho

being ono for which a requisition can bo
issued.

During the years liyr to IS'JO there existed
in Council Bluffs a card club , composed of
leading society people , called "The Married
Ladies Progressive Kucor club. " This game
was later changed to high live , though the
club remained the same. This organisation
was a delightful ono , and when , in 1S90 , it
was allowed to bccomo a thing of the past , it
was with the regret of all. Until the present
time no ono seomou willing to take the re
sponsibility of bringing it to life again ,
though all seemed to share in the wish that
it could bo again roor inUcd. Other clubs
were formed but none took thu place of the
original.
Last Saturday the members of the old club
were surprised to receive cards announcing a
party to be given them oa Tuesday evening
at the Grand. Invitations wcro sent to all
the charter members still living in the city.
Tlio cards were sent anonymously , signed by
"A Committee , " supposedly self-constituted.
The club has been reduced to about one-half
its original size , four being claimed by the
grim reaper , the rest having made now homes
in other places. About forty people received
the cunningly written invitations , which
read as follows :
Itevlval of coed old times. Married I/adlos
Progressive Kucher and High KIvo club of
IHHii to 18H9. All members of that , old club
urn requested to meet In the parlors of thu
Urand hotel at S o'clock p. m. sharp , Tuesday
January 24 , to ungago In a Rood , old fashioned
KIUIIU of high llvu as In thu days Kom > by. Don't
fall.tocomuand bo on time. Itcfrcslmicnts
will bo served fiee , and no collection taken
ill ) .
Ity order of "A Committee. "
From tnat time until Tuesday evening
every ono of the 40(0) ( ) were on the qul vlve.
All were curious to know who were the
witty originators who seemed to conceal
their Identity so well. However , all who
could do so , decided they would bo on hand ,
and possibly that night the riddle would bo
solved. But no , the fairies wcro still at
work.
On entering the room each greeted the
other in the hope of saluting their hosts or
ho stesscs. Thb question of the hour was
"Did you do it ? " To which all replied , "No ;
did you ! " And all hung their friends on cir
cumstantial evidence.
At the cntr.weo of the parlor was a notice
reading.
Cards with red ribbons for gentlemen , grren
ribbons for the ladles. At H:3U : gentlemen
please find their partners and coiiiiuenco thu
name. .Mrs. .1. L. Stuwart Is requested by "A
Committed" to act as hostess for tlio evening.
Mrs. Stewart made a charming hostess ,
and through her able management all passed
smoothly.
On each of the eluht tables was another
notice , as follows : Otinio begins promptly at
8:30. : KcKHlar hl li live , and rob tlio decks.
\Vhun any table liasscored tuenty-ulKht points
rap on thu table and winners move , all chang
ing partners. Who \\II1 entertain thu nuMono
lit their residence ?
To this had been brightly added In pencil :
' Mrs. John N. Baldwin , Friday evening ,
February ! i , 8 o'clock. "
The game went right merrily , and all
seemed to throw care to the winds aiid
played with an added zest and laughter a ? >
never before , oven in the days gone by. The
merriment and fun seemed complete when
Mr. W. II. Burns , an old member who has
made his homo In Montana for the last two
years , Joined the gay players. Ho was
expected by half the party at least , those
knowing of his presence in the city having
extended to him an invitation to Join the o'd
friends. His visit seemed most opportunely
planned and his welcome was a very cordial
ono.
About 11 o'clock the game ended and
prizes were found on the table la the ladles'
dressing room marked "Gentlemen's llrst
prize , " "Ladles' llrst pri/.e. " and Consola
tion. " Mr. J. L. Stewart secured the gentle
men's prize , a pipe and iwuch of tobacco , to
which was attached a tag labeled "Put this
in your pine and smoke It , " a cunningly
worded Invitation to think of , and follow uj
the club so mysteriously renewed. Miss
Mollie Rico secured the ladies' prize , n , mutch
safe in the shape of a tiny sandal. This was
also tagged and labeled "Can you match
thlst" A play on words and also a sugges
tion to curry on the old , now club. To Mr.
Burns fell the "Consolation , " a most gor-
KCOUS affair of sheet Iron about eighteen
inches .square , ornamented by bright-hued
ribbons and tassels. This too had Its motto :
You can't see through anything. SupjKiso
you try on this souvenir. " But none could
recognize thu handiwork or point out the
donors of this "Feast of reason and How of
soul. " It was phued about the neck of the
winner and created much merriment.
Then came refreshments , with wit and
served with abandon und Jollity , and with a
laughing good night to all , for fear of over
looking the hosts , ended one of the most en
joyable evenings the old club over had. Still
the mystery deepens and the bright origina
tors remuln Incognito , much to thu regrut of
their guests.

Couldn't Marry III * SU-iidiuiglitcr.
A young man about 25 years of- ago called
at the ofilco of the county clerk yesterday
afternoon and asked for a license to marry.
Ho said that both ho and the girl lived In
Omaha , that the girl was 17 years of ago , and
that she was perfectly willing to marry him.
A little questioning dieted the information
that the groom was the stepfather of the
bride prospective. Ho married the girl's
iiother , who was considerably older than
lie , nnd on her death claimed the daughter
: is a part of his dowry. Unfortunately for
liim the laws of Iowa forbid the marriage of
n man and his stepdaughter , and he left the
court house no nearer matrimonial bliss than
before.

BATTLING FOR HER BABIES
[ uterestiug Legal Contest for tbo Possession
of the Russell OhiUlren ,
CIRCUMSTANCES FAVOR THE MOTHER
'ri-lliiilnnry SklrmMi llnil * In the 1'ittlirr'n
Drfriit AiniMtnc SrciiiIn I lie County
Court Ilddin SiMiMiitutiml Dltorru
Suit riled as u Slilu ln < iue.
The legal battle that Is now being waged
n the courts of Douglas county by Mrs.
Mary G. Russell to secure and retain the
Kj.sscsslon of her babies , gives promise of
telng one of the most Interesting cases that
ins ever been tried. New phases and com
plications are presented at every turn , and
the turns are as numerous as the phases.
At this time the mother Is ahead , having
secured temporary custody of the llttlo ones ,
nut how long this custody will continue no
ono will venture an opinion , as George F. Rus
sell , the father , and the woman , Cora Erne-
iiith , are turning the hea\ens and earth to
ilefcnt the mother and get the two children
iigatn under their control.
Yesterday was the time set for hearing
the arguments on the application of Mrs.
IJussell to be appointed guardian of her own
children. The'caso wus called bo fore Judge
Eller of the county court , both sides being
represented by their attorneys. When the
time for making the arguments arrived tljo
Emeluth woman and Russell strolled Into
the court room , taking their seats on the
farthest side of the room from the court. A
little later Mr. nnd Mrs. C. B. Coon , Mrs.
Russell , the children and a score or more of
friends Hied into the room. Mrs. Coon nnd
tlio children were given seats near Russell
nnd the Emcluth woman. Mr. Coon occupy
ing a scat close by , while Mrs. Russell and
her many friends found places in the lobby.
l > l po i-d ill' u Motion.
Russell's attorney immediately filed a
motion to dismiss the case , alleging that so
long as the parents of the children were
alive the court had no authority to step in
and decide which parent was entitled to their
custody. In his argument ho urged that the
father was the natural guardian and was
entitled to their care and custody until It
had been shown by conclusive evidence that
he was not-n tit person to have charge of the
parental duties. In addition to this he
argued that the court had no Jurisdiction of
the case and that it erred when it issued the
writ of habeas corpus on which the children
wcro taken from tlio house of the Emeluth
woman last Friday night. In closing he
painted the woman us ' itte as snow anil
infonnc'd the court what an excellent homo
slio had provided for the little boy and girl.
Intimating that when the case was tried
upon its merits ho would show that Mrs.
Russell wus anything but a reputable
woman. Ho said that he would prove that
she associated with low characters and that
she was without means to educate and sup
port the children.
Judge Eller watched the proceed ings , mov
ing uneasily in his chair , until the charge
against the mother's reputation was made.
Then he uncorked his vials of wrath and in
plain terms informed the attorney that ho
would not allow a woman's character to bo
assailed in his court. If there was any proof
of the charge it would have to be made
under oath , as a mere statement would not
be considered as testimony.
Attorney MeCltinuhnn , In behalf of Mrs.
Russell , argued that the court had Jurisdic
tion of the case and that It had a perfect
ritfht to issue the habeas corpus proceedings.
The statutes , he said , provided for just such
cases.
Right nt this point the attorney for Rus
sell switched and made the statement that
while it was a fact that the children wore in
the custody of Mr. Coon , as a deputy sheriff ,
in reality they were in the custody of Mrs.
Russell , their mother. "Why , " said the at
torney , "I am informed that they slept with
their mother last night anil that she had
every opportunity to talk with them. "
The statement amused the Judge , and In
answering he remarked that if tlio father
had had the children for six months ho did
not think they had been greatly injured by
being with their mother during one night.
Too Hiindy with a Itrvolv-'r.
Again the attorney for Russell Jumped into
the arena by declaring tliat the Emeluth
woman was eminently respectable and was
particularly fitted to look after children of a
tender ngo.
Judge Eller cut this story short by in
terrupting with the statement that ho did
not think that children should bo under the
control of a woman who would draw a re
volver on the sheriff and threaten to shoot
if ho did not get off the premises.
The attorney attempted to Justify by
ufllrnilng that Mrs. Emcluth did not know
that Deputy Courtney and Jailor Bennett
were oflleers of the law. During all of this
time Mrs. Emeluth smiled at Russell and
looked daggcts at the court and the opposing
lawyeis.
After another round by the attorneys
Judge Eller took hold of matters nnd de
clared that ho understood that Russell and
Mrs. Emeluth were occupying the same
house and that ho did not think that a woman
who would occupy the same quarters with
another woman's husband was a suitable
person to have charge of two Innocent child
ren. With this ho continued the case until
next Tuesday , turning the children over to
Mr. and Mrs. Coon.
The attorney for Russell wanted the court
to issue an order forbidding Mrs. Russell
admission to the Coon residence. A smile
went over the placid features of the court
as he remarked that he did not control Mr.
Coon's domestic affairs and that ho could not
decide who should be the gentleman's
guests. Court adjourned for the day and
the members of the lobby who lingered be
hind had an opportunity of witnessing n
scene that was not down on the regular bill.
Russell had kissed his children and told
them to go and kiss the Emcluth woman.
To reach her they had to pass in front of
Mrs. Coon. In obeying the command of the
father , the little girl was Just In the act of
imprinting the kis , when Mrs. Coon reached
over and gently taking the child by the arm ,
pulled her back from the woman's embrace ,
Russell was near enough so that ho rudely
caught Mrs. Coon's arm und gave it a violent
lent jerk.
Defended HI * Wife.
Although being several feet away , Mr.
Coon was a witness to what hud happened ,
and clinching his list , ho rushed over to where
Russell was standing , remarked In a tone of
voice that was well understood. "If you over
lay your hand upon my wife again , I'll mash
your face Into a shapeless mass. "
The sheriff Jumped to the rcscuo nnd saved
Mr. Russell from a beating , while Judge
Eller coolly folded up his papers and left the
courtroom. The several parties went their
respective ways , Mr. and Mrs. Coon and
Mrs. Russell retaining poscssionof the child
ren , Mrs. Emeluth going without her kiss.
Within ten minutes after Judu'o Eller hail
rendered his decision , the attorneys had filed
a petition in the district court , In which
Russell asked for a divorce and the custody
of the children. The document charges
that Mrs. Russell was not a lit
party to huvo Iho custody of
the children ; that she had deserted her hus
band , taking the children with her ; that she
hud placed them in a boarding house In the
cltv of St. Paul , Minn. ; that the house wus
ono of questionable reputation ; that she was
umiblo to support the children ; that shu had
compc-lleil the llttlo boy to sell papers upon
the streets ; that beer was drank In the
rooms of the St. Paul boarding house und
that the defendant hud committed adultery
with divers persms , to the plaintiff un
known , both In St. Paul , Omaha and South
Omaha.
Mrs. Russell denies the allegations In the
petition and says that thu charge is trumped
up iu order to defame her reputation.
I'rotri'tln.i , ' Mrs. Itiiincll.
With the bringing of the suit , Russell's
troubles only commenced. Ho had seen
Judge Scott of the district court and had se
cured tin Injunction , restraining Mrs. Russell ,
Sheriff Bennett , Deputy Coon and all other
persons from removing the children from
the county of Douglas. U was necessary to
secure bondsmen who would ijuurantco that
the suit would be prosecuted und after a
search of a couplu of hours they were found ,
hut at that time Clerk of the Courts Atoorc.i
could not bo found to approve tin ; bond.
Then there was another dlfllculty that
stared Air Kussell in the face. If he had
succeeded In ( hiding the clerk , ho could not
have got service upon Deputy Coon , as the
coroner was out of the city , being away on a
jaunt out to Kearney.
Revolving the matter in their minds , Rus
sell , his attorney , and Airs. Kmeluth held a
consultation which continued until midnight ,
when they gave up. succumbed to the Inev
itable and concluded to le.ivo the children IP
the custody of Air. ami Airs. Coon and the
mother until .Monday morning , at least.
The episode of the just few davs has been
an expensive ono to Air. Russell. Up to the
time of the troubles ho was the expert book
keeper for the Homo Fire Insurance com
pany , but when the stories reached the ears
of his employers ho -discharged , which
now gives him any amount of time to look
after his law suit.
Airs. Kmeluth Is well known In Omaha.
She was the wife of William Kmeluth , who
operated a candy store and restaurant on St.
Mary's avenue. Emcluth was charged with
having embe/.zlcd a paltry sum from a man
with whom ho was doing business. Helled
and his wife subsequently secured a divorce.

Her X n\ York Drliut CliiirniliiRly AVoiinuilj-
1'nHelniithinly llrxiitlful ,
Nr.w YOIIK , Jan. S3. An intense and mor
bidly sensitive temperament has Eleanor
Dnse , the Italian acjress , who this week
made her American debut at the Fifth Ave
nue theater. Shu is superstitious. Be
fore the rising of the curtain
on her opening night she discovered in a
trivial circumstance what she vehemently
declared to bo an omen of failure , and when
continued plaudits followed the Until act she
could scarcely understand that she had suc
ceeded , despite the omen of disaster. A
favorite superstition of Italian players had
been smothered beneath her own achieve
ment.
The Du.se has not an upward line in her
physiognomy. The outlines in her face , the
nas'il shading and the corners of her big ,
sensitive mouth , all droap and blend Into a
face whoso gencr.il expression in repose is
thus rendered sorrowful. There is even a
pathetic sadness about her features , and
this may be the result of early trials in
poverty , or it may bo the outward shadow
of the woman's tendencies mentally. We
have not yet seen enough of her to know
clearly what her normal condition may bo.
Her faeo and work thus far are the only
bases upon which Judgment may bn formed.
10 say that Duse is pretty would be to be
little her ; to say that she is beautiful would
Involve a misunderstanding. And yet , she
is more than either. She has a noble head ,
with hair that is black. And her hair is one
of her strongest stage accessories. It Is not
long. The coil at the back of her bravely-
lined head is small. The growth near the
edge of the low , straight forehead is too
long to figure as a bang , and too short to
reach or bo fastened in the close coil at the
back. This unconllned lilaek mane does not
flare wildly about , nor is it fastened into
place ; it just flows backward from the
shapely temples in waves that gis'e a tone of
nobility somehow of freedom , an earnest
ness. In moments of distractions or on men
tal stress the woman's thin , nervous lingers
sweep over and through the blacK waves ,
smoothing them to clearer outline her head ,
or loosening them so that they fall over her
temples and her shapely ears.
The body ofSignora Duso is strong and
supple , and the women who saw her debut
said they knew she wore no corsets. I In
action was unconstrained and gracefully
free. The arms are thin , ono would at llrst
believe , and yet they are not without fleshy
grace. The lingers are slender and long ,
and they are used effectively in momcn's of
deliberation or intent listening , tapping
their pointed nails upon the woman's splen
did teeth. And Iho teeth ! They are so
white , so even , so largo , and yet so small ,
that they servo to brighten the woman's
dark face. They are a foil to the
deep set black eyes , against the
flaming of which the woman's red lips
play havoc in love or passion. Then
there are the lips yet not those of an
ascetic. Tcndorous they are , and quick to
laugh or mourn. They twitch and tremble
with soft emotions , and they draw down
with pitiful tension womanly tension is most
pitiful to see when stress of anger or regret -
grot stirs the woman's spirit.
Have you seen woman players w singers ,
whoso opened mouths were black caverns ?
Bcrnhardt's is such a one. There is some
thing uncanny in the spectacle. Not so ,
however , with this woman Duso. There is
redness of interior , flashing whiteness of
teeth , red sinuosity of lips , that render her
mouth extremely human when It laughs or
scorns with bitter words. It has human
warmth not the dark chill of a man.
