Judge Scott will pronounce sentence or
Ocorge .Morgan , tlio convicted murderer ol
Ida Oasklll. on Saturday morning next. The
verdict of the Jury IIBB determined that Mor
gan shall suffer the' death penalty. All thnt
remains for the Judge to do l to formally
Bantence the convicted mSn to die on the
gallows and to tot. the day on which the
sentence Khali be executed.
Thcro seems to bo no doubt but that Mor-
Kan will receive his sentence with as much
Indifferent ? and unconcern as ho did the
verdict of the Jury. Since- the verdict was
returned he has not changed his demeanor ,
end the fact that his days nro almost num
bered has not affected him In the slightest de
gree. He Is uncommunicative , but ho has
been the tame ever since- his arrest. He
ntiswcru the greetings of his Jailers , but never
volunteers a word of conversation. In fact ,
when hla cell Is visited by the guards , he
always appears occupied or asleep and seems
to dcslto to avoid nil conversation. The
verdict has not affected his appetite , either ,
for he cats his meals as heartily as If he
wcro a free man.
While the Jury was out In his case Morgan
was asked If he would brink down If a ver-
illct of death was returned * . It was known
that he expects ! to bo sent to the penitentiary
for life , and It was expected that he would
show some emotion If the other penalty wap
imposed. To the question Morgan answered ,
with something of a smile :
"No , I won't break down. You will tea
If they bring In such a verdict. "
When the verdict was returned Morgan did
not show a plgn of emotion and It la ex
pected that when the sentence Is pronounced
ho will be Just as Belf-possesicd.
Morgan's companions seem to believe In his
KUllt. After the trial of the case , Snnford ,
Morgan's Intimate companion and hlo room
mate , raid : "He Is the right man. " He was
pressed to give a reason for this remark , but
refused to say anything further. He spoke ,
however , In a confident manner and as If he
knew what he was talking about.
Under the provisions of the statutes 100
flays must elapse between pronouncing of
sentence and Us execution. The law gives a
murderer to much time within which to pre
pare for death. Ths one hundredth day from
next Saturday falls upon Saturday , March 24 ,
1890. The court may , of course , give him
moretime. .
The motion for a new trial In the case was
filed Just before court .adjourned yesterday.
The motion will , In all probability , be re
fused , and then It rests with the attorneys for
the defense whether the case will be carried to
the supreme court. They have so far refused to
nay whether they will do so or not. Morgan
lias no money with which to pay the costs
of an appeal. _ _
Ciro\VM Out of a Divorce Suit.
Minnie D. Stevens , the former wife of Ar
thur Johnson , has filed another paper In the
district court , In which she makes further
effort to get possession of Johnson's prop
erty. The property , which Is fully enumer
ated , and consists of office and other furni
ture. piles of bricks and other appurtenances
of the brick yard of the- firm of Arthur John-
BOII & nro. , was levied upon to satisfy a
claim of over $7,000 alimony , obtained by
Mrs. Stevens as the outcome of her divorce
milt. Immediately thereafter Johnson & Dro.
began action to oust the sheriff from posses
sion , n > ; J It Is In this suit that Mrs1. Stevens
lias tllct ) the paper , claiming that she , and
not the t'5i < rff ! , Is { lie real defendant. Some
time ago ; but after thfs' action" was beguii ,
the firm confessed Judgment for a considera
ble amount In favor of an outside party , and
thin Judgment exists as a lien against * the
property In question. Interesting proceed
ings are- expected before the whole matter Is
untangled. _
Cnmllilntt'i * for the I'eii.
Next Saturday a number of prisoners who
have b'en convlated of crimes will be
sentenced. Judge Scott has signified his In-
. tcntlon of getting them to the penitentiary
as soon'as possible. Among them are Pat
Ford , Jr. , and A. J. Pyeron , convicted of
highway robbery.
Abraham Lander , the man' who was con-
vlcUd of attempting to commit a criminal
assault upon Kmma Anderson , will In all
probability be taken to the penitentiary at
Lincoln today to enter upon his sentence
of fifteen years ,
Sentence was pronounced on Lauder on
NovcmbJr 15. He was remandoJ to the
county jail and the sheriff was ordered to
transfer him to the penitentiary within the
thirty days proscribed by law. The tlmo
lias almost expired. Several other sentenced
prisoners will betaken with him.
'H AVell In Court.
Ill Judge Duflle's court room Sam P. John-
eon Is seeking to obtain a foreclosure of a
mechanic's lien of $193 on the property of
Nicholas Morgan. Johnson avers that he
cqntracted 'to ulnk a ws > 5t for Mergan , but before -
fore It was completed the work was stopp-il
by Mergan. Nevertfieless , he thinks that
'ho ' ought to be paid for the work , as he dug
down Into the. ground a distance of .228 feet.
Morgan alleges that the contract was' specific
and that tin ? result of Jolinpon'o digging was
decidedly unsatisfactory.

WO.MA.VN t'HHI.STIA.V ASSOCIATION. .
A n nun I ItcniirlM Mmlc nnil Olllecr *
The Woman's Christian association held lit
annual mco'lng yesterday afternoon In Iht
rooms of the Commercial club. Devotional
exercises were conducted by Ilev. Dr. Hel
ling * .
The report of the officers showed forth the
extent and purpose of thework. .
Thla association of eighty women carries
on thrc ? dlatlnct and Important Institutions ,
the Hurl Street Home for Old Ladles , a home
for children and n lodging house at 700 South
nightcenth street. The Hurt strctt home fur-
nlsh's a pleasant , quiet retreat for old ladles
at a very reasonabl' cost. Where a woman
has any frle-nds , relatives or property that
can contribute to her support , remuneration
U received. In case of absolute destitution
she lu cared for without pay.
The children's homo adjoins the grounds
of the old ladles' home. Here about n dozen
little waifs arc cherished and protected.
The lodging house Is designed as a home
for girls who are earning but small wages.
Hoard costs W.bo and $3 per wfk. . Mlra
Cowdery Is matron of thlu some , and as she
Is the woman who Is carrying on the work
of the Travelers' aid , she almost dally finds
gome one who needs a transient shelter at
least In the lodging house. Xo sober woman
lo ever refused a welcome and a night's rest
here , although the work with transient guests
Is considered subordinate ! to the providing of
a permanent homo for deserving girls.
The aspaslatlon has during the past year
expended $1,722.22 , and has on hand some
thing Ilk ? $600. This sum secures the main
tenance of the Burt street homes for the
year , but funds must be raised to the amount
of the rent to keep the lodging house sup
plied.
The retiring president , Mrs. F. F. Ford ,
gave an Interesting report of the year. She
said :
"I have thought that a retrospect today
phould Incorporate not only the reports of
the work as given , by the ! other officers , but
also a mention of some of that thinking
which wfc as fellow workers have done to
gether thepo past months. This has been a
critical year. Hard times , and changing con
ditions In the city have brought many per
plexities. Theories , methods , details have
bnsn In the crucibleWe have * tested many
Ideas. We have discarded here end ( level-
opd there , but we believe we have held fast
to that which Is good , and It has Increased
In our hands. "
In speaking of their enterprises Mrs. Ford
sild : "That charity which gives comfort to
the aged Is a noble one. H appeals to our
tondcrest sympathies. It very rightly chlms
the Interest and' support of thei community
and we do not In th'i least deprecate Its
value. But the' ' life of- the old woman IE
nearly over. The possibilities of her life are
past. The dangmt thnt threaten her arc
mainly physical. To guard her from these
IP a comparatively simple matter. The young
woman , on the other hand , stands upon the
threshold of her life. She Is Inexperienced
and untrained , Pitfalls line her path. This
Is the person whose , dangers appeal to the
earnest woman , and what do we do about It'
Some of us hope shd will not get In trouble ,
sonvo of us oven pray for her. The lodging
hoiU'j at 70G South Eighteenth stttct shows
what we mean to do. Wo lay hold on her
and keep her. It comes out of the real vital
Interest of one woman In another. It Is per
sonal work. "
Mrs. Ford hag been president for two
years , and It was with much regret that the
members accepted her positive declination to
accept the cffice again.
Ths nominating committee submitted thf
following list of officers for the ensuing year
and they were Immediately elected : Presi
dent , Mrs. George Tllden ; first vice presl-
dent , Mrs. F. F. Ford ; eacond vies , president ,
Mrs. J. n. Jardlne ; third vice president ,
Mrs. Thomas McCague ; fourth vice prertdent ,

'rustses. Mrs. M. E. Barr. Mr ? . W. V. Doo-
llttle'Mrs. J. J. McLain , Mrs. P. L. Psrrlne.
Mrs. TUdEia made a few remarks after tak
ing the chair , expressing her satisfaction
with her assistants and calling attention' to
the work that must be 'done by the end of
the year , as the organlza'lon had never In
the twelve years of Its existence entered anew
now year In debt.
The body must be well nourished now , to
prevent sickness. If your appetite Is poor
take Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Why OlNoit
Mr. Kern , who manages Olson & Co.'s
business here and whose remarks _ but express
the sentiments of Mr. S. E. Olson , when
asked why It was his house had decided to
glvo up their business In Omaha , replied :
"We have no fault to find at all with Omaha.
We believe there Is a good future for a live
department store built up and conducted
on the same plan as our Minneapolis one ,
and we only decided to quit when we found It
Impossible to reduce the rent sufficient and
the exorbitant expenses attending the buildIng -
Ing- now occupied by us. In the face of this ,
times being very quiet , and seeing but a
losing venture ahead , and contemplating ex
tensive Improvemants at Minneapolis that
will Involve much time and expense , we have
decided to close out and quit January 1. "
Mr. Kern states , however , that Mr. Olsen
has not abandoned this field by any means
that Kir. Olsen saysthat If a favorable oppor
tunity offers he will open up here again and
on a substantial and sound basis. S. E. Olson
Co. desire to thank all Omaha people for
their generous treatment since they have
been among them , and will only depart on
the first of the 'year with the most sincere
regrets , having In mind only the best
wishes for Omaha and her future prosperity.
As the above algnlfys. It will be necessary
to close out everything In the .building at
any sicrlflco by the end of December.

Dr. Towne has compiled a statement show-
ng the mortality' from diphtheria In Omaha
since 1SSO. H shows that 'the ' greatest num
ber of deaths wus In 1830 , when nearly 200
ieople died from the disease , This year has
recorded comparatively few deaths. In spite
of the prevalence of the dlsrase. Taking
the population Into consideration th ; death
rate from this cause U louer this year than
n any year sine ; 1SSU.
In the period extending from 1SSO to 1SS5
there were 201 di-aths from diphtheria , or an
average of forty annually. As tlie population
n 1SSO was only 30,000 this fehows a Iarg
Uutli rate from that cause. In 1SS5 the
lopiilatlon WUK 60.000 and In the next five
ears theie were S71 deaths , or fcovsnty-foiir
aui'tmlly. In 1600 , with a population of 120-
000. there wtrct 181 deaths ; In 1S ! > 1 , 157 ; In
1S92 , 113 ; In 1SU4. 05 , and during th first

UHCISIOX SOMKWHAT MISI.UADINC.
UCICN Xot Touch llrfwcTN Who Sdilic
Saloon .11 on.
Omaha saloon men and brewers were some
what excited -yesterday over the decision
of the supreme court In the sase of Storz vs
Fmklesteln. The. language of the syllabus
was far 'from ' clear and -tho natural conclu
sion frcm Its wording was that keepers of
saloons , the licenses for which had ben paid
by the brewers , could nof be held responsible
for the payment of debts due the brewers for
goods sold and delivered.
An Investigation shows that the case In
question was one In which that Issue was not
Involved In any way. Flnklesteln was the
agent and manager of the bottling'depart
ment of Storz & Iler's brewery. He a-
temptcd to carry on a regular Honor business
In connection with his work of bottling and
selling beer for the brewery and the courts
held that the contract between him and the
biewcrs was Illegal , as It contemplated a resale , -
sale of the beer and was In effect carrying
on two separate llneo of business under one
llcensa. On this shewing , a bill against Flnk
lesteln for beer sold him was rejected by the
court. The decislcn has no effect upon the
deal by which saloon msn arc furnished the
Hc nses for their business by the brewers
whoD2 beer they sell.

"I wish to take this opportunity of ex
pressing my thanks to the stockholder
nnd friends ot this association for the mil
form kindness shown me. The directors
who have worKcd faithfully , given ot the !
money so liberally and made no end of costly
sacrifices of business and social engage
mcnts. I want to thank deeper than I have
words to express. So far as I know , no
$500 worth of the material used In building
the fair way furnished by this entire board
thcifjfore no charne of a inoney-maklni
scheme can ever be made against us. The
work has boon done purely , from public
spirited motives and every dollar cntrustei
to us has been conscientiously used for the
good ot this association. We did not 'stani
In' with furnishers of lumber or any ma
terial , contractors , politicians , land own
ers or any one else , and we ask the closest In
vestigation of all our work. 1 want to
emphasize the Importance ot harmonious
action with the Nebraska State Beard of
Agriculture , aa the two associations , with
the Knights of Ak-Snr-Ben , In one sense
form a partnership In the business of con
ducting a great attraction.
"The Transmlnslsslppl exposition of 1898
should In no way Interfere with the Ne
braska state fair , and with proper business
foresight the two organizations can In that
year ba of mutual benefit. With such broad-
gauge business men as will comprise the

and Omaha Fair and Speed association , wo
may look forward to the achievement of
great results.
"Wo held a Joint meeting with the State
Board ot Agriculture at the Mlllard hotel
September 23 , at which time wo promised ns
follows : To Increase and Improve transporta
tion facilities to grounds , both by street cars
and steam cars ; to Increase the water sup
ply ; to build J20 hog pens , making 400 In
all ; to furnish another office building , and 1
would suggest making the present office
building Into an educational building and
then selling the floral building to the Doug

number of local capitalists are Interested for
the forming of a largs trust company for
the purpose of assisting the cattle raisers ol

disadvantage on account of lack ot ready
money or' scarcity of i feed. The subject has
bsrn under consideration fbr some tlmo-and

the Situation with Alarm.
Physicians and dealers In surgical Instru
ments aredojply Interested over the recent
visit to Omaha of an agent for a big firm In
Japan that is manufacturing surgical Instru
ments and offering them to physicians at
Just about one-half the price that has here
tofore been obtained. The agent presented
samples which were of the finest pattern
and finish , and 'several local surgeons placed
trial orders with him.
The Industry Is a new one In Japan and
local dealers are- watching the result of the
trlalt orders. If the Instruments prove as
satisfactory as the samples shown. Japanese
manufacturers will get the business that has
formerly gone to American manufacturers.
There Is already a hsavy duty on surgical
Instruments that are Imported , but labor Is
so cheap In Japan that tha manufacturers
there can s'.ill make the goods , pay the duty
and sell the goods hero at about half the
price now dunamltd for them.

A mm registering the name of "Shorty"
Ilrock was found dead In his room at the
State hotel on Douglas street at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning.
Hrock reached the State hotel nt 12:30 : In
the morning nnd nrked for lodging. . IIo was
shown to room 62 , and left word with the
night clerk to call him at C o'clock In the
morning. When A. W. Miller , the clerk ,
went to ths room at the time specified he
was unable to arouse Hrock , and thinking he
wished io sleep longer , he went anny. At
10 o'clock Mrs. Miller , proprietor of the
hotel , In pasrlng through the corridor , de
tected the smell of escaping gas , nnd upon
discovering thnt It Issued from the room
occupied by Hrock , broke open the door. She
found Hrock lying upon the bed , nnd the gas
escaping from a jet near the door ,
A doctor was hastily called , and though
( hero was a slight pulsation ot the heart ,
all attempts at resuscitating the man proved
unavailing. There was nothing found In the
room except the clothing worn by Drock and
n , large leather pocketbook containing $40
In two $20 bills , a baggage check from the
Knrnam Street lodging houps , and a few
papers. The pockctbook was found under
the pillow.
Among the pipero was one signed U. S.
Hrock , In the same handwriting as that upon
the register. An Imiulry nt the I'arnam
Street lodging house developed the fact that
Hrock had slept at that place the night before -
fore and had left a small black vails ? . Upon
being opened at the morgue , the valise was
found to contain several letters , all addressed
to U. S. Urock , and among them were two
from his father , Thomas Hrock , one dated
at Ashland , and th : other at Hancock , la.
The clerk at the Farnam StreH lodging
house stated that Drock had been a regular
customer of the place for over a year. Llttlo
was known of him , as ho did not talk much
about his affairs.
Louis Goldsmith , proprietor of a laloon nt
Ninth streU and Capitol avenue , stated that
Drock had been In his place until closing up
tlmo Monday night. He had been drinking
during the evening , but was not under the In
fluence of liquor when he left. Drock had said
to the barkeepsr early In the evening that
ho had lost $35 In money during the day
and that party named Wood had , at mid
night , agreed to go and help htm look for It.
Drock had told Goldsmith several times that
ho was a'npeculator at the buckst shops , but
had never shown him any pipers concerning
this statement. Ho always appeared to be
well supplied with funds , and though ho
drank occasionally , It was rarely that he
was Intoxicated.
It was at llrst supposed that Brock had
committed suicide , but the fact that he had
been drinking during the night Is thought
to prove that he blow out the gns while In
toxicated , nnd that his death was accidental.
Thomas Drock , father of the dead man , has
been telegraphed.
The verdict of ths coroner's jury was that
Drock came to his death through his own
carelessness In blowing out the gas.

A New DlNcovcry , Hut Xot n Patent
Medicine.
Dr. nedwell relates an Interesting accounl
of what he considers a remarkable cure ol
acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia
by the use of tlio new discovery , Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says : The patient was a man who had
suffered to my knowledge for years with dys
pepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour
and create acid and gases In the stomach ; ho
had pains like rheumatism In the Inck , shoul
der blades and limbs..fullness and dlstreas
- , and , " of flesh ;
after eating- , poor appetite 253
the heart became affected , causing palpitation
and sleeplessness at night.
I gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood
remedies , but to no purpose. As an experi
ment , I finally bought a 60-cent package ol
Stuart's Dyspep la Tablets at a drug store a'd
gave'tliem to him. Almost Immediate relief
was given , and after he had used four boxej
lie-was to all appearances fully cured. "
There was no more acidity or sour , watery
risings , no bloating after meals , the appetite
was vigorous and he has gained between 10
and 12 pounds in weight of solid , healthy
flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold In drug stores yet I con
sider them a most valuable addition to any
physician's line of remedies , as they are per
fectly harmless and can be given to children
or Invalids or In any condition of the stomach
ach with perfect safety , being harmless and
containing nothing but vegetable and fruit
essences , pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the safest ,
most eftec'lve euro for Indlge3t"on , biliousness ,
constipation and all derangements of the
stomach , however slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by the
Stuart Co. of Marshall , Mich , , and sold by
druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package.

Just as quickly select an Inferior grade In preference to the superior.
