After the feast had been put out of the way
and the cigars Imd been lighted ex-President
1. M. Treynor , In the absence of President E.
H. Odell , addressed n few words of welcome
to the company and then Introduced H. H ,
Field In a poetical way. Mr. Field spoke on
the past history of Council Bluffs , going back
to the time when Lcwlo Cass paid his first
visit to the banks of the Dig Muddy. He
spoke of the Mormon Invasion , the establish
ment of the "Frontier Guardian , " the first
newspaper In western Iowa ; the first "Oen-
tllo" church , founded by Kev. G. G. Illce ,
who still lives here ; the first theater , the first
streak of hard times , and other Items of In
terest connected with the early history of the
city.D. .
D. W. Archer followed with a well prepared
paper on "The Council Dlufte of the Present , "
setting forth the advantages of the city as a
place for business operations , Cheap living
and one of the finest systems of water works
to be found in the west are among the attrac
tions that appeal to labor and capital alike.
Council Dluffs lies In the center of the largest
fruit growing district of the west. Laet year
there were 16,065 carloads of fruit shipped
out of Council Dluffs over the eleven lines of
railway centering here. The adjacent country
la admirably adapted for raising sugar beets ,
and $100,000 Is annually spent here for sugar
which should be made In Council Dluffs. The
Iowa legislature \\II1 undoubtedly pass a
sugar bounty law next winter , In which event
the beet-growing Industry will sustain a de
cided boom. The Grand hotel and Its pro
prietor came In for a share of praise , and , In
cidentally , the speaker said a. good word for
John Daldwln's candidacy for governor , which
scorned to arouse as great enthusiasm In the
democrats present as In the republicans.
Colonel I ) . D. Dalley was then Introduced
by the toast master and spoke on the subject
of "The Future of Council Dluffs. " He ex
horted the people of Council Dluffs to stand
together , patronize each other , and work to
gether for the upbuilding of the city. He
raised a laugh by his exhortation to eschew
foreign made clothing , even If the home
tailors' bills had to go unpaid a little while.
Last evening's banquet was the first of a
series of five which are to bo given , one
each month , under the auspices of the Mer
chants and Manufacturers association ,

ISdglngton Cnso Turned Over Juit lleforo
Moon nnd No Verdict In Yot.
The case of the United States against A. A.
Edglngton was given to the Jury at 11 o'clock
yet'terday ' morning , and at a late- hour last
evening the Jury was still In Its room at the
government building trying to como to an
agreement.
In Instructing the Jury Judge Woolson said
that the main question to bo determined was
whether the statements contained1 In A. A.
Edglngton's deposition were false. H any of
them were not true they were false within the
meaning of the statute. If , however , the de
fendant , at the time the statements were
made , did not know them to bo false , and If
ho honestly believed them true , a verdict In
tile favor must bo returned.
Ho made a few remarks relating to the
strictures made by the attorneys for the de
fense upon the conduct of E. C. Drown , the
pension examiner. It was his business , he
said , to make a thorough Investigation of any
case where the government had reason to
believe that fraud was being practiced. It
was not his duty to notify cither of the par
ties ot the rusplclons of the government , butte
to go ahead In an upright and honorable way
and secure such evidence as he could to assist
the government in determining which of the
parties , If cither , were wrong.
The good character of the defendant was
no defense against a crime actually proved ,
but the testimony regarding It goes to the
Jury as throwing light on the probability of
other evidence.

Confirmee with Motor omdnli Concerning
Ilia Itunnlng of Omntia Train * .
A meeting of the committee appointed by
Mayor Cleaver to bring about an agreement
with reference to the running of Omaha
trains on Hroadway , was held with the
representatives < of the motor company , Mon
day night. Those present were Aldermen
Spctman , Grccnshlelds and Barstow , Messrs.
S. S. Keller , W. W. Loomls , Lucius Wells ,
W. D. llunyan , J. n. Bell and L , A. Casper
and Superintendent Dlmmock and his assist
_ ant , Mr. I'oole , of the motor company. The
committee , vlth the exception of Wells and
Loomls , were all In favor of having trains
run , half of them up Broadway and the other
half down Main street.
Mr. Dlmmock had drawn up a new time
card providing for running the trains as the
east end citizens desire , without putting on
the two trains which were removed when
the present schedule went Into effect. Al
though ho claimed that the distance from
Pearl street to Oak street and from Pearl
street to the south end of Main street wcru
exactly the same , he tried to prove , by a
course of reasoning which was not very well
understood by those to whom he was talking ,
that as good connections at Pearl street
could not bo made as now If the trains were
divided.
Messrs. Wells and Loomls were as anxious
to keep the trains on South Main street ,
now that they have them , as the other men
were to have them on Upper Broadway , now
that they have them not. Mr. Wells moved
that the committee adjourn until May 14
without taking any action , and Mr. Loomls
seconded It. The motion was amended , how
ever , to ask the motor company to put on the
two trains that had been taken off and to
restore the old time card as It was before
the change , It was carried , all voting for It
excepting Wells and Loomls. The motion to
adjourn until May 14 was then carried.
Just what will be the outcome of the meet
ing Is a matter of conjecture. The east
emlers have a slight hope , but not very
much faith , that their efforts will be success
ful without a resort to any forcible meas
ure ! , and none but some of the more hot-
hcailcd ones Indulge In any threats as to
what they will do.

DBS MOINES , April 17. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The grand Jury , following an ex
haustive Investigates of the evidence. In
cluding a verbal statement from her that It
was she who gave the last fatal dose that
ended the life of her stepfather , Michael
Smith , one year ago , returned an Indictment
charging Cora Smith with murder , and she
will be tried on this charge at the present
term of court.
To the grand jury she stated that the first
and second doses of poison was administered
to Smith by persons other than herself , but
owing to the Ignorance of these persons , sup
posed to be her mother and aunt , Mrs.
Lederer , too much was given at a time , with
the result that the stomach rejected the
poison. Having observed this , and suspect
ing It was the quantity given , and being
anxious to secure $3,000 of life Insurance
on or about April 25 , 1804 , Cora , responding

KIRK'S
liotisands of Omaha Citizens Now Testing -
ing His New Discovery ,
Vlrcnily 25 Grateful I'crsons He-
port Favorably Afterl Using Ills
Prcparatlo.
Tuesday , nt 5 o'clock p. in. , the free
llstrlbntlon of Kirk's "Hula Water
laker" nt The Iteu'olllco closed , and
ilthougli but three days Imev elapsed ,
luce the first nnnonnceinunt. appeared
a the dally papers , people are already ,
mth by letter and in person , rongratti-
atliitf Mr. Kirk upon the results obtain-
el from using hl.s preparation.
Is It any wonder that the public have
faith In a preparation that Its owner
ins Hiitllclent conlldcncc In to give out
ibsolutely free , with the understanding
hat tlio results In each ease should
) c published broadcast. To bo sure , the
cpntntlon of the old established house
of Jas. S. Kirk & Company Is so well
( Mown , that any preparation bearing
heir stamp Is a sulllclent guarantee to
he public that Its merits are all that is
claimed for it.
Lust evening a reporter called nt the
lithml House , and In nn interview
vlth Kirk's representative , obtained the
following Information' ( regarding the
lew Discovery that Is creating such a
sensation : ' "Ves , Mr. Kirk is aware
hat there have been , from time to
line , many preparations put upon the
narket , claiming to bo what "llain'i \ -
er Maker" absolutely does do , viz : To
soften the hardest of water , making it
soft and velvety , but all have proved
llsmnl failures. Every ingredient In
Kirk's "Haiti Water Maker" Is of an
ibsolntely harmless nature.
"RAIN WATER MAKER"
The Mnny I'urposrs for Which It Waa
Dcmgned ,
Mr. Kirk nnd his representatives are
frequently asked the question , "Is your
rain water nmker simply n hard water
Koftentr ? " Wo 'answer 'emphatically ,
'No. " Kirk's new scientific discovery
not only softens instantly the hardest
water but Is equally valuable In rain or
cistern water , as It renders all water
soft and velvety. Clothes washed In tills
ireparatlon are much sweeter and will-
; er and will hold colors from miming
u printed goods ; prevents bluing from
cui'dlliiff In water ; prevents llaunels
'roiu shrinking.
For the bath or toilet it Is indispensa
ble. Accelerating the action of soap , glv-
"ng the skin a healthy glow and helping
o remove any snperlluous execretlons
that may adhere to the body.
For dishes and general washing pur
poses it Is very essential.
Kirk's "Italn Water Maker , " is nliso-
utely harmless and must not be con-
'onndcd with soap powders , as it eon-
tains no soap , lye , amonin , borax , lime
or any deleterious Ingredients , ind
saves 125 per cent of soap and CO per
cent of labor. Kirk's "Hain Water Ma-
: er , " can be had of all druggists and
: rocers , lioc for two pound package.
