but left It with the Jur.y to detormlno
whether or not the other slpnaturcs were
forceric * also.
This verdict is of interest to a number of
noople In Council Blurts. W. W. Bilnur , a
former real estate man who hu < l a good
standing In builncss circles nt ono time ,
passed In the ncUjhborhood of * 1'J.OOO worth
of notes. He carried on his business for scv-
ral years by tncaus of the money ho raised
m these notes. No one supposed for an
instant that they were not all they wore
represented to ho until one day shortly over
.year ace Blk'cr turned up missing.
It ' was then found Unit Bilgcr's
father and. all the rest of his
relatives and friends out of town whoso
names were attached to his paper as signers
or endorsers , had or claimed to nave not the
slightest knowledge of the notes. Many of
thcso notes are in the hands of Council
Bluffs purtlcs , who have been eagerly walt-
inc for the announcement ol the result of the
trial. The signatures all resemble ono
another , nnd if the jury had found the
Wavcriy bank's note good there would in all
probability have been a number of other
suits commenced against ! ' . M. Bilgcr , and
be would have undoubtedly boon brought to
bankruptcy , as his cstato near Oakland is
barely largo enough to pay off all the paper
which his son kindly saved him the trouble
of putting Into circulation.
It wns supposed by some of the mtcrcstod
parties that Bilgcr and the other signers
had decided to get "out of paying the notes
on the pica of forgery , when in fact they had
really signed the notes , and in fact the
signatures were made with so much exact
ness that some of thb experts who were
called In to give their opinion , pronounced
them genuine. Some of the holders of other
notes have spent considerable time listening
to the evidence , but now they find that they
may as well go home nnd burn the little
slips of paper that have caused them so
much weeping and gnashing of toetn. It Is
hardly likely that any more suits will be
started

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
Tlioinas T.ce Arrested for a Recent IJob-
l > ery ( Josslp and I'ersnnaln.
Police Officer Thomas made a good catch
yesterday when ho placed behind the bars
Thomas R. Lee , alias Tom Ileed.
Lee is a pretty bold thief , but he has been
cornered this time and- will no doubt wind
up in the penitentiary. About two weeks
ago be-left South Omaha and no ono seemed
to know where ho went. It now develops
that ho went to Elkhorn. Oa Monday night
two weeks ago ho attended a dance there and
"after the ball WHS over" took a i\jgm
in MG. . Jeffries' hotel. Ho was given
a room usually occupied by Mr.
Jeffries. During Tuesday night Lee
packed up a suit of .clothes , an
overcoat , a shotgun , all the jewelry there
was in the room , and even took a child's sav
ings bank , containing about $3 , and dlsap-
jHjarcd. It was not Known there that J ee
cumo from South Omaha and search was
made for him iu another direction. Ho reg
istered us Tom Reed.
Yesterday Mr. Jeffries' brother pot wind
of the fact that l.ee belonged in this city
anil ho came down. As soon as the descrip
tion was civcu to the onlcer-ho know it
must be Lee , and was not long in locating
him.

Lee has for a long time bocn running a
peanut stand at Twenty-fourth and M
streets. Aft - selling the place bo went
away , and upon his return went to work for
H. Hivelev , selllnir weinorwurst on the
street at nfght. Ho was never suspected by
the police of being a thief until yesterday ,
nnd now Chief Beckett is of the opinion that
Lee has done considerable housework here.
When searched ut tbo station Lee had in
his possession ono of the stolen rings be
longing to Mr. Jeffries. He attempted to
dispose of it before Officer Van Wio could
search him , but his work wus too coarse.
Ho was placed in the sweat box and in a
short time had told the police enough , so
that nearly all of Iho stolen articles wore
recovered. Ho .will bo given a hearing
today , _

THE Ben. J Horace Hill , a j-otinR man of 21
years , living near Glad brook , lias been ar
rested charged -with the murder of Annlo
Wleio about two months ago. N. C.
Hutchlns , a private detective who has been
at \ ork on the case for some time , made the
arrest. Ho says ho has susplcioncd young
Hill of being the murderer for omo lime.
He was accompanied by Sum Ernest , n near
neighbor , when ho made the arrest , both of
whom declared Hill confessed the crfmo
when accused of it. Hill , after being taksn
to prison , declared he made no confession
and that ho is Innocent , When arraigned
ho was released on flO.OOO ball , which was
furnished by his father and neighbors.
Iho murdered girl was last seen alive at
the home of Arthur Hill , a brother of Hor-
anco , and It Is claimed the boy once ucforo
threatened to kill a .voung girl unless she.
submitted to tils wishes. The young man's
neighbors do not bellevo him guilty of thu
murder and the sheriff and other ofllccrs of
the county share in this belief.
Wbeatland , a little toiru about fifty miles
cast of hero on the Chicago & North western ,
is all excitement over what appears to have
been a foul murder. Some boys , while rtsh-
ing in a lake near town , discovered the re
mains of a mun in the water near the shore.
The alarm was given and when the body had
been taken from the water and an Investi
gation made it was found there wua tin ugly
gunshot wound at the base of the brain.
Apparently the body had been in the water
aoout two days when found. No one has
been able to identify the remains and a .mys
tery surrounds the entire affair. Some bo-
lievo.ttie man committed suicide , but n ma
jority believe he was murdered and the body
thrown into the water to conceal the crime.

Eighth Annual Conference of the State Oi-
CHillzntlim to Convvnn lit MUBCaitnr.
CEDAH RAPIDS , la. , Oct. ' . ' 4. [ Special Tele
gram toiTnE Bcc. ] The eighth annual con
ference of the Iowa Christian Endeavor as
sociation will bo held at Muscatine October
31 , to November 3. A fine program has
been prepared , and it is expected that QUO
of the 1,200 members in the state will be
present. Several noted men will bo present
and address the meetings. On the first
evening Dr. F. E. Clark , D.D. , will speak
upon "Christianity its Seen in a Recent Trip
Around the World. " On the second evening
an address will bo delivered by Ilov. George
D. Herron at Iowa college , Grinnoll. and on
Ibe last evening iRov. J. Z. Tyler , Cleveland ,
O. , chairman of the committee of 181)4. )
will deliver an address. Reduced rates
huvo been made on all the railroads for the
occasion.
Some time ago George Rcdfield of the
eastern Iowa insurance / inspection bureau
ordered an advance of.20.pcr cent upon all
risks. From all partsjof' the district there
c < imo such a protest/ thai the order was
withdrawn in a few. days. It was also dis
covered that the businossimen were eoing to
withdraw their insurance from the board
companies and insure -with the uonbo.ird
companies. This probably had as much to
do with the withdrawal of the crdw as any
thing olso. At a recent meeting of in-
specters at Des Moines it was decided to put
into effect a horizontal raise of 20 to 25 per
cent. It is learned' now that this Idea
has been abandoned and that instead there
will be an equalization'of 'rates. Tbo basis
of calculation , it is said , will be CO con , s per
'
hundred Upon'thd highest classed risks , such
as brick , metal roof building , single oceu-
pancv. From this all the varying risks will
bo computed. The board companies are
making a strong effort to secure the cooperation
tion of the nonboard companies in the mat
ter of equalization. It is believed consider
able difficulty will be encountered in raising
risks , as many mcrchahts declare they will
drop all insurance' rather than' pay higher
rates than now.
At a meeting of the creditors of the de
funct bank of J. T. Knapp < fc Co. of Cedar
Falls a committee wus appointed to raise
money and perfect an organization for the
purpose of recovering the notes and mort-
g igcs given out by the bank to certain par
ti 'S in preference to the creditors generally.

talked on national issues and did not refer
to state politics. She scored the bankers ,

Several members ofj'ttje ' Omaha bar were
entertained last evening at room WH , New
York Lifo building , by an exhibition of the
work of the nilcroEcapo in connection with
certain phases of law practice. Tbo exhibi
tion was given by Erof , William Lighten ,
who has had a long experience in work of
that character. The experiments ihown
consisted principally of the detection of
forged and altered written instruments and
the distinction of stains made by human and
other blood. It was demonstrated that the
microscope has an important bearing upon
court room work in many ways.
Prof. Lighten hni recently .ordered some
fine lenses and apparatus from English op
ticians. Upon their receipt a second exhibi
tion will be given to illustrate the method of
