She U Ilia nrnnilmatlKT of the Defendant
ami ( > lten nn IntrroMliig Account of
Her HOII'H I'luuigd nf XHIIIO
uuil the llcnion ,
The most Interesting feature of yesterday
morning's session of federal court was the
testimony of Mrs. Wlnnlo Ann Perkins , who
claims to bo the mother of I'rancls M. IMg-
Ington , whose con , Addlngton A. ndglngtoti ,
Is on trial for making a false pension ain-
da\lt. The attorneys for the defense have
maintained all along that F. M. Cdglngton
had a multiplicity of names , which accounts
for the tact that his ton was not positive as
to the name under which ho had enlisted
In the army , nnd the story she told not only
added much strength to their claim , but
made It appear very reasonable that young
Edglngton , In making the affidavit he did.
was merely laboring under a mistake and
had no intention of defrauding the govern
ment.
Mrs. Perkins Is 7S years ot age and so
fcsblo that when she stood up to be sworn
she had to be supported by her grandson , and
her voice was so feeble that her words could
with dimcully bo heard by the members
of the jury. She has been living with her
relatives tn JacK ou county , Iowa , but
formerly lived In Lincoln county , Missouri
She testified that the man known as F. M
Edglngton was her son and the father of the
defendant , and that his real name was Jesse
Franklin Perkins. He left home when he
was 15 or 10 yea * : old and stayed away a
long time. In 1SG2 he came back , bringing
with him his wife , Jennie M. Edgtngton ,
and they stayed with her two or three days.
During that visit he confided to her that
ho had assumed the name of R M. Edglng-
ton , but he had never told his wife of the
change In his name. The defense sought to
bring out the fact that ho had gotten Into
trouble with a girl In Galena , III. , as a
reason for his assuming the name of Edglng-
ton , but Judge Woolson refused to allow this
saying he should not permit the dragging
out and parading before the public any family
skeletons If he could help It. Edgington
told his mother to address his letters to him
at Cuppy's Oiove , where he was then living.
In Shelby county , to Jesse Perkins , and she
did so.
so.KEPT
KEPT HER SECRET WELL.
Mrs. Perkins visited her daughter-in-law
Mrs. Edgington , at Avoca seven or eight
years ago and even then she did not tell her
of the secret which she had locked up In
her heart for so long. Indeed , It was nol
until after the commencement of this trial ,
three or four days ago , that either young
Edgington or his mother knew It from the
grandmother's lips. The attorney for the de
fence showed her the name of Henry Per
kins , company K , Fifth Iowa cavalry , killed
In Tallhoma , and she said ho was her son.
B. A. Conslgncy of A\oca was put upon
Iho stand to swear tu the good reputation of
the defendant at his home , and E. H Adams ,
undertaker from Lemars , Mo. , who buried
the defendant's father , testified as to the
personal appearance of the dead man , saying
lie were full dark beard alul was of a sallow
complexion.
Likely A. Hack of Harlan testified that
when she knew Francis M Edgington in 18CI
ho looked very much like his son , but was
somewhat heavier.
Mrs , Jennie M Edgington testified that her
husband was married to her under thd name
of Trancls M. Edgington. She did not know
whether ho ever signed his nameas Maurice
1" . Edgington , but she thought he always
signed It aa ho had signed It to the mar-
ilage certificate. When they lived at Roches
ter , In. , ho was known as Dr. Edgington
When he was away she received letters from
him occasionally , and he generally came home
once or twice a year , excepting once , when he
was away seven years , and another time
when he was away ten. She said that on
the occasion of her visit to his parents after
their marrlago she was not Introduced to
either of them , but simply called them
"mother" and "father. " When her husband
first came home after the war he told her
ho had served in company r , Thirty-fifth
regiment , Iowa volunteers.
The testimony of A. A. Edgington , the
defendant .aroused moro Interest than any
of the other witnesses. It was told In a
clear , straightforward way , without any visl-
blo excitement , nnd he seemed to make an
excellent Impression on the Jury nnd spec
tators.
STORY OF TUB ACCUSED.
"I was born In 166C. " said he. "I saw my
father twice during the last twelve years of
his life , for he was absent a great deal , for
lengths of time varjlng all the way from a
week to several years. When he was away
all that we knew as to his whereabouts was
from the postmarks on his letters. The last
tlmo I paw him was five weeks before his
death. I hadn't se n him for ten years before -
fore , and did not recognize him. He always
talked to mo a great deal about his army
life , and told mo of his brother being killed
at his side. At the tlmo I made affidavit In
support of my mother's pension claim I
thought I remembered that ho had told me
that he belonged to company F , Thlrty-flfth
regiment , Iowa volunteers. I have supported
my mother for several years past by teaching
Fchool and farming , and have lately been
taking n medical tourso at the Iowa State
university.
"I saw my father's body four or five
menthe after his death , Identified It , and had
It reburicd. I told Coon , the Avoca pension
agent , that my father's name was Francis
M Edglngton "
At this point he brought out two bills
which he had found In his father's trunk , one
made out to Frank Edgington and the other
to H. F. Edgington. These were ruled out
on the ground that they were not identified
as belonging to the defendant's father.
"I first saw my grandmother , Mrs. Per
kins , four or five months after my father's
death , " continued the witness. In reply to the
questions put by his attorney ; "she told me
his name was Francis M. Edgington. I first
learned from her that his name was Perkins
last week , after driving a long distance
through the country looking for her , first
under the name of Edlngton , and , falling In
th.it. trying to flnd her by describing her to
the natives. I first learned that my father
was In trouble before he married my mother
liss than a week ago. When I made the
deposition I had not had the slightest Inti
mation that his name was anthing but
EdglnRton. "
The cross examination by District Attorney
Fullen was a searching one , but It failed to
shake the young man's statements In any
material degree. He admitted that In his
afllilavlt he laid that his father died January
2C , 1SS3 , and he was at the burial , when In

ATTORNEYS EXCHANGE SHOTS.
The most Interesting thing about the cross
ixamlnatlon was when the bad blood that
has been manifest to the close observer
oozed to the surface and threatened to em
broil District Attorney Fullen and Smith
McPhcrson In a row. A remark by McPherson -
son caused Fullen to ask the protection of the
court from those "ilde remarks across the
table. " Mcl'herson suggested that the table
be turned around so as to bring Its entire
length between them. Fullen fd ! ho would
be very much pleased If It were done , but
It was not done , and Judge Woolson put a
quietus on the peppery remarks before any
gore had been shed. At the close of the ex
amination the defense rested Its case and
an adjournment was taken to 7-30 p. m. ,
when thc > arguments of the attorneys were to
begin.
begin.When
When the time came for arguing District
Attorney Fullen changed his mind and de
elded to take a little more evidence , Ho
recalled A. A. Edgington for tome more
cross-examination , In the course of which
the fact was brought to light that when the
witness went to Lemars , Mo. , to look at
the body of his father ho got off the train
at Sheldon and drove across the country
because ho had run across a man on the
train who offered to take him across without
charge ,
J. n. Widdell , the secretary of the Ma
sonic lodge at Lcmars , read from the lodge
records about the burial of F. M. Edgington
E. H. Adams , the undertaker who buriei
him , testified that a rough plno box was
used , and that the body had no buttons 01
regalia of any sort to Indicate that the deai
man was a soldier. In his pocket , ho said
he found a pockctbook containing a certifi
cate to the effect that M. P. Edgington hai' '
been admitted to the bar at Greenfield , la
Ho was sure about the Initials , M. F.

Council on tlio llrcad ( MdlimniT.
There was another attempt made by the
democratic minority of the city council last
evening to embarrass the republican ma
jority by calling up the old twenty-four-
ounce bread loaf ordinance. " Spetman pre
sented a substitute ordinance , providing for
a standard twenty-four-ouneo loaf , and a
standard twelve-ounce loaf , the latter In
cluding everything between twelve and
twenty-four ounces. It also prolvded for the
weighing of all loaves by the meat and milk
Inspector , and the condemnation of all that
were decided by him to be made of any un
wholesome materials. When Spetman aslteri
the ordinance bo substituted for the old one ,
Mayor Cleaver asked If there was any one
with the hardihood to second the motion
and for a moment It looked as though there
was not. Hrcwick finally came to the res
cue , but the motion was lost by a tic vote
Shubert then moved that the old ordinance
bo laid back on the table , and It was carried
The same Spetman turned up with a mc-
tlon , which. If It had carried , would have
placed the republican council In a rather
compromising position , when the matter of
awarding the contract for feeding city prls > -
oners came up. Before the bids had been
opened ho moved that all of them be re
jected and the contract be relet to Mrs. J. E
Hrooks at the old figure. There was a pooJ
deal 1 of opposition to this plan , and Spetman
finally withdrew his motion.
The bids were opened and found to be as
follows Mrs. J. E Brooks , meals , 9 cents ,
bread and water , 5 cents. Mrs. L. Warner ,
meals , 13 cents ; Mrs. W E. Brassard , meals ,
9 % cents ; bread and water , 5 cents.
The surprising thing about It was that for
the past year Mrs. Brooks has been receiving
11 cents for meals and G % cents for bread ant
water , which would have made a gain foi
her 1 of 2 cents per meal and half a cent for
bread l and water , If Spetman's scheme hac' '
carried All the bids were referred to the
committee on health.
The committee to which was referred the
question of repairing and enlarging the clt >
Jail , reported the following estimate1

to the city engineer with instructions to re

The committee on strsets and alleys recom
mended that the Second avenue curb be no

owners would pay the cost. W. A. Maure

he said the curb had been put In In Its present

SEEDS OF HEALTH.-
Eating the wrong things , and too much of them at the wrong time , gives the
stomach and the other digestive organs too much to do gives them work that they
cannot be expected to do. Such tilings prevent the free and regular action of the
bowels , bring sick headaches , biliousness , kidney troubles , restless sleep , lassitude ,
nervousness , and plant the seeds of disease in all parts of the body. Health conies
just as easy as disease. It grows up from those little sugar-coated seeds of health
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets , They are for nothing in the world but to keep the
bowels regular , the stomach free from gas and fermentation , and the liver active.
They go about their business without making any fuss. They are very gentle in
their action and cause no griping , or other unpleasantness.
They do not take the place of Nature they merely help her. No one ever
becomes a slave to their use. When the digestive action becomes regular and vig
orous stop taking the "Pellets. " When you have eaten too much take one.
When constipation shows itself and headache begins take the " Pellets" for a day
