VALLBY , Nob. , Fob. 2. ( Snrclal Tole-
gratn to The Hco , ) The second and last
nay's session of the Duuclns county farmers
institute convened hero today. In the ab-
BoncoofJ. R Weybrlght of Miltard , who
was elected to preside at the morning ses
sion , the gathering was called to orilor by
Secretary Bynrs , after which John W. Hall
was elected chairman In Mr. Wiybrlghl's
stead. The farmers got right down to business
F. U. Hlb-
ness , and , after the band played ,
bard read a papcv entitled ' Shiftlessness
of Farmers. " "If you oxpoot my essay to bo
composed of a melodious flow of words and
rounded periods of rhetoric , " announced Mr.
Ilibbnrd , "you will bo mistaken. "
Continuing , ho said his style would bo of
tno granger order and ho felt prouii of It.
The paper hauled the shiftless , no account
lu-mer over the coals , and was ttio cauao of
many nudpos ana wlnics being exchanged by
the hearers. Following Mr. Hibbard.a paper
was read by Sam W. Stewart of Blair on the
subject of "Scrubs nnu Farmers. "
Supplementary to the reading of his paper
Mr. Stewart recounted some reminiscences or
Douglas county affairs whoa he was a resi
dent hero many years ago. Ho dualt with
the scrub question without gloves anil
vouchsafed the information that there are
scrub horses , cattle and hogs as well as
scrub lawyers , preachers and merchants.
Ho said there was a bare possibility of there
being a scrub farmer. In defining the dif
ferent variety of scrubs Mr. Stewart do-
Glared the scrub merchant's most character
istic falling to be modesty.
TOO MODEST TO ADVERTISE.
"This particular brand Of merchant is so
vcrv modest , " declared Mr. Stewart , "that
money could not hire him to have his name
nut in a newspaper , lot alone paying to have
it put there by some hustling advertising
solicitor. "
Ho described a scrub animal as one tbat
will not bring , when put on the market ,
three-fourths as much as other animals mar
keted tlio s.uno day. ago and size being
equal. State Senator Noyes led the discus
sion brought out by Messrs. Hlbbard and
Stewart's papers and was followed by
Messrs. Jewell , Emery , Whitmoro and
others. The discussion waxed so warm that
it was impossible to adjourn the forenoon
session until i : ! ! 0.
After dinner and music by Messrs. Stew
art and Hunter on the guitar , Prof. F.V. .
Chard , the horticultural lecturer , delivered
a well received address on "Small Fruits. "
Ho told the farmers how to care for the
different small fruits best adautod to these
climates aud laid particular stress on the
grape.
Curtis C. Turner of Omaha addressed the
convention on the subject of ' 'Good Heads
in Douglas County. " Mr. Turner's hobby
is a road that follows the natural contour of
the country traversed , and by means of a pro
file chart ho showed the people what was pos
sible In Douslas county in that lino. By Mr.
Turner's illustration the distance from Val-
oy to Omaha would bo lessened two miles
and at no place on the' route would the
grade bo over two and a half feet in 100.
The cost of building this road , Mr. Turner
has figured out to bo $ 13,000 per mile. Hois
against the macadamizing scheme and
places the cost of preparing tlio thorough
fares of the county for paving at double the
price of the contour uriveway.
TIIIN'KS IT VERY ECONOMICAL.
According to Mr. Turner's dqduations the
$1DO.OK ( ) .paving bonds' voted by the county
would , 1C expended in building roads accord
ing to his idea , cover the entire cost of a
road from Omaha to Mlllard , Elkhorn and
Bennlncton and reduce the distance between
those points and Omaha 11 vo or six miles.
Mr. Turner's ideas took the farmers' breath
away for awhile , but they soon recovered
and then followed a discussion that was
warm and intcrestinc.
Mr. AVhitmoro's plan , as ho stated it ,
would bo for the commissioners to come out
west of ,1)10 ) Elkhorn river and expend the
money available to paving on the road in the
vicinity of Valley. Commissioner Williams
jumped into the breach at this juncture- and
read from data at.hand where this vicinity
not so very long ago was allowed about
three times the jimount duo it out of the
road fund , and Mr. Whltmoro's schema-went
iilimmering. L. I . Cowles and Mr. String-
line had ideas on the road question aud expressed -
pressed them. W. G. Whitmoro declared
that it was second nnturo for the farmer to
kick and growl about the roads 'and then
wont on record with a full-sized one of his
D\VU fostering. At this juncture 'the as *
Bcmbl.igo adjourned to eat thu ovoning'tneal. '
AT THE EVENING SESSION ,
After supper and after morn musio.by the
different church choirs and recitations by
Miss Pickurd and Mrs. W. E. WoKoly respec
tively , W. G. Whitmoro , as presiding ofllccr ,
reviewed the work of the institute and
pleaded guilty to helm ; In a measure re
sponsible for thn bringing about of this
Borles of meetings ,
"When toward the end of his earthly
career St. Paul was going for the .last Time
and ns a prisoner up over iho magnilicent
Applan way to Itonio , stopping in the forum
to rest , ho found it in nis heart to thank
God and take courage , " said Mr. Whitmoro.
"So it seems to mo that we. a congregation
of farm folks who , many of us , are too apt
to have the death rattle of. discouragement
in our heart , mliy pause on occasions like
this and admit to ourselves and to each
other that wo are at least us well oft as the
average mortals. "
Then Mtv Whitmoro InCnvJuced Chancel'
lor Canticid of the State university , who ro-
galcd the 400 auditors with one of his char
acteristic feasts oi reason. The chancellor's
address was an oratorical gem of the tirst
wator. and covered a multiplicity of points
and affairs from the time of Columbus down
to the present day , Tlio speaker kept the
audience In good humor by Interspersing his
address with numerous appropriate stories ,
The mooting w.is closed with music by a
choir and prayer by Uov. Mr. Harper , and
the second annual institute of the Douglas'
county fnrnmrs became- matter of history.
Saunders , Dodge anil Washington counties
wore represented ut the meetings.

KANSAS Orry , Foh. 'J. The Jury in the
case of J. V. MuNamarn , whoso trial began
at Indcpcndcnco yesterday on the charge of
vilifying Father Llllls of this city , has not
yet returned n verdict. It Is understood
that the Jury stands flvo for conviction
and ono for ncnuttt.ll , and that the ono Juror
who Is hanging that body is a member of the
American Protective association. During
the course of his lecture , in which it Is al
leged the charge ugalcst Bishop Hogan ,
Father Llllas , Father Dalton nnd
Mother Vincent wcro made by Mo-
Natnara , ho read from n book , sup
posedly , statements that included all the
dignitaries of the Catholic church , The
American Protective association Juror de
sires , it is stated , to determine whether
the hook contained the charges. MoXimara
was looking for the quotations some tlmo
before the second casa against him wat
called this morning , but so fur has been un-
ablotoflnd them. At 11:30 : this mornlne
the Jury was excused for dinner aud will
probably report this afternoon.
The second trial of McNatnara began at
Indecudonco | this morning. Ho Is charged
with accusing Father D.ilton of this
city with a heinous crime , the same
us ho charged against Father Llllls.
When the case was called McJNamara's
attorney inked that the constable of Blue
township bo entrusted with the duty of
summoning a jury. Ho said that Marshal
Stewart was a Catholic , which should bar
him from performing that function , IIo
also stated that a deputy marshal had gone
to independence before the case was
called and had secured a Jury on
the quiet. This statement was
denied by Prosecutor Urown nnd Justice
Nichols Instructed Marshal Stewart to sum
mon the Jury. The panel of Jurors lllcd iuto
the court about 1" o'clocic. Upon being ex
amined It was ascertained that flvo were
Catholics , ono was 111 and ono had hoard
the evidcnco yesterday and his wife 'was
a Catholic. They were all excused
and the marshal started on a quest for a
second panel. Court adjourned until after
noon. "
It has been ascertained that the two mon
assaulted last night at the station at Inde
pendence were witnesses for the plaintiff in
McNamara's case , and they are members of
the American Protective association. Both
were armed , and when a crowd of three or
four men throw beer bottles nnd stones at
thcmUhoy responded , each llring one shot
from a revolver at their assailants. McMll-
len , ono of the men assaulted , was struck
with a beer bottle , but not seriously hurt.
No arrests were made.
At 11 o'clock tonight , before the testimony
in the Dalton case was nil in , after the
Judge's charge to the Jury , the Jury retired ,
and nt midnight returned witli a verdict of
guilty , assessing a penalty of twelve mouths
in the county Jail aud a line of $ oOO. Mc
Namara's attorneys at once appealed to the
criminal court , which was granted , the bond
being placed at Sl.DOO.
The jury in the Father IJllis case , that
tried yesterday ; which has been unable
to agree , was ordered by Judge.Nichols to
appear in court tomorrow morning.
The court also applied the bonds in the
other cases Bonding against McNamara as
follows : Tito Lillis case , $300 ; circulating
obscene literature , $ oOO ; traducing Mother
Vincent.t,000. Tlieso cases will probably
bo tried immediately.

WORK OF HER ESTRANGED HUSBAND
HoWa * Aided by 1'rlond Cllnmx of Years
of Domestic Unlmpplnrtw IJotli
Men Arroitcil Story Told
by the Mother.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
warrant was sworn out in pollco court by ox-
Judge Shields for the arrest of Gcorgo J.
Fox and Harry Clark for the crime of child
stealing. Tlio warrant was at once placed
in the hands of an ofllccr , and boforoO.o'clock
both men wore in custody. They wore nol
long there , however , for upon sending word
to 0.1J , Ballou they wcro Immediately released -
leased , hn signing a bond for $1,500 for each.
They loft the Jail , and nothing could bo
learned as to the whereabouts of the two
mmi last night. Mr. Pox is a real estate
dealer , and has an ofllca at 1313 Hartley
street. Ho docs a good business and is fairly
well-to-do. Clark was formerly n "hasher"
at McDonald's restaurant , so it is said , but
since thu latter went out of business but lit
tle has been soon of him.
The mon are charged with forcibly taking
from Us mother Mr. Fox's ' U-year-old girl.
The mother and two sisters of Mr. Fox re
side at 2115 Emmot street. Ho is a frequent
visitor there , and for some tlmo ho and his
wife made their home there. Kight here is
where the trouble began. The mother-in-
law , it is said , did not like her daughter-
in-law , and this feeling ran through the
family. Mrs. Fox , however , continued to
make her homo horn , for some time , notwith
standing things wcro becoming more dis
agreeable dally aud it wo'uld bo only a ques
tion of time when she would bo compelled to
leave.to nrovo'nt any serious trouble.
HUT MATTERS GREW WORSE.
Things wont on and Fox and his wife con
tinued to live at his mother's house , .but all
tlio time affairs were assuming more unpleas
ant proportions. Ivirs , Fox did not seriously
complain , but. it was eventually decided to
take up residence down town. After a time
Fox agreed to this and they loft the Emmot
street residence. They took up quarters at
a down town fashionable boarding house on
Seventeenth street and brought the child
with them. Hero the unpleasantness was
kept up , but-it was not so trying since they
wore away from the husband's family. It
did not cease , however , and a separation
followed some weeks ago.
Mrs. Fox retained possession of the child.
The baby was allowed its freedom and
while It was taken out In the open air very
freely , It was never out of its mother's
slant.
Yesterday Mrs. Fox , who had just got up
from of iv bed of sickness and who is naturally
a weakly woman , hod her dinner and retired -
tired to her appartmonts. She felt fatigued
and though that another spell of heart
failure was about to seize her. So she
wont to bed , and the last thing she
thought of was to sco chat her little daugh
ter was safe from harm. It was quietly
playing at the foot of the bed and the
mother tried to invite sleep. She could not ,
however , and so she dozed away , half think
ing of her troubles , and then the bright
child would luugti at something it would see
and cast an occasional ray of sunshine
through the mother's sad thoughts. Pres
ently voices were heard m Wio hall and
finally they wero-hoard immediately outside
of the door. Mrs. Fox listened and
took another look at the baby. There
it was laughing and smiling , and
she was about to say some
thing to it when the door roughly opened nntt
a low voice was hoard.
"I want that child and am going' to have
it , " was the first thing that was said , and a
man reached .to.pick . up the baby , calling it
by imino. > <
Mrs. Fox1 was nearly crazed , and cried ,
"For God's sake , leave mo my child , leave
my child , you cannot bo so cruel ns to take
It from mo , " and sno sprang'from.hor bed to
save , if possible , the only .thing on earth .3 ho
held near and dear to her.
HUE WAS HELD PAST.
Her efforts were in vain , for 'ere she had
reached the. floor rough bands seized her and
in a vice-like grip she was compelled to
stand and watch her husband carry away
.her chili ] and .she unableto prevent it. She
struggled , but weak and sick , she was a
trillo in the hands of the one who
held her. She saw nothing to bo
gained by force then in .tho agony by despair
and then she pleaded with her captor
to free her that she might save the child. It
was but the work of a few moments and all
was over , tlio frantic mother was loft to
pacify herself as best she- could and the
child was gone , but she know not whcro.
, A Bee reporter talked with Mrs. Fox last
night on the affairs loading up to the kid
napping. She Is a pleasant woman and she
clearly shows the effects of the trying ordeal"
she hud boon through. She said :
"My husband ana I have boon mar
ried some three years and soon .after
our wedding wo took up residence
with Ills mother , nl SJ15 Emmot street.
There was the principal source of all the
trouble. His mother and I did not agree
and Instead of'taking my part ho always
sided in with the others , and itmade things
very unpleasant for mo * , , Ho also would
make no endeavor to light matters and I
had to stand every thing as host I could. Wo
moved from there to our present quar.tcrs ,
as I thought that , being away from
his relatives , wo could get along better. Wo
camoto our present quarters so me , two
months or so ago.
"Ho was much addicted to staying out
late nt night and during six weeks wo have
lived in our present ( ( uartcrs ho has boon
homo three nights. As I hud to remain at
home alone aud 'not ' knowing any one I con
cluded that turn about was fair piny , so one
night when ono of the young ladies in the
honso Invited mo to n dance I went , and re
peated this on several occasions. This
is as far as I am to blame
in the mutter and I cannot soj
how any ono can blame mo , for had my
husband remained at homo as lie should
have done 1 would never have thought of
going out evenings.
"Ercn on ono of the nights ho was homo
and I happened to be out ho locked thu door ,
and I had to remain up in tlio parlor all
night , and as a result I became sick.
"No , 1 have no complaint about his provid
ing for mo while wo lived together , butslnco
the separation ho has done nothing. I am
nearly crazy , tor the loss of my child was
tlio last thing , and I don't know what ! shall
do. That Clark who hold me while my
husband took the child hurt .my side , and
his treatment of mo while In his power was
oxceodlncly brutal.
"Yes , 1 shall petition for divorce and take
the steps suggested by my attorney for the
recovery of Uio child , and then I shall leave
for. my homo In Herman , Nob.1
Whcro the child is no ono knows , but it
was said It was at Clark's house , Thirty-
fourth and Farnam streets.

KANSAS CITY , Fob. ! J.-Local sporting
men have hit upon and are trying to push a
scheme which they claim will furnish a permanent -
manont lighting ground where all prlzo
lighters can perform without fear of molest
ation. Just opposite Kansas City , in the
Missouri river , lies a small island. The
proposition is to construct a club
house upon this island , whore ,
the projectors nvcr , prize lights
may bo nulled off without legal Interference.
It is claimed that the state authorities have
no jurisdiction on this island , and that the
United States authorities would not likely
interfere with such a proceeding. It is the
purpose of the projectors , who arc actively
pushing their scheme , to bid heavily for thu
Corbott-Jackson contest.
