At the opening of Judge Keysor's court
yesterday W. P. Gurley began the clos-
4ng argument for the defense In the Ish case
He began detailing the duties ot Jurymen
nnd , as he proceeded and got warmed up to
his work , he waxed eloquent.
"Tim lioni-s was the foundation of our
form of government , " said Mr. Ourley , "and
it was this horn-1 that was the subject matter
fit the c'.nsplracy which the state attempted to
prove. " He tried to show that the testi
mony of Suslo Green , on which the state
relied to prove this conspiracy , was false
and Inconsistent.
"When the confession was made by Mrs
tsh to hsr husband , " continued Mr Gurley ,
"the acts of James leh show that he was
gradually worked up to that stale of mini !
where ho could no lonrcr control hlmszll
and was In fact Insane. "
Mr Gurley talked for an hour and at the
close County Attorney Baldrlge commenced
the cloflng argument for the state. Taking
up the subject cf conspiracy ho urged that
'f Iho Jurors believed the testimony of Susie
Green the picas of self-defense and
Insanity were not well founded.
He urged that Chappie could not have
fired nl Ish first or oven at all , because
there were no bullet marks of any kind
near th ( Jeer where Ish entered.
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE JURY.
At the concluilon of County Attorney
Baldric 's address ? the court read his In
structions to the Jury. They wcro lengthy ,
containing thirty-two paragraphs.
Judgs JCoy-w opened by impressing upon
the- minds of the Jurors the responsibility
( bat rested upon them In returning n verdict
nnd emphasized the need ot eliminating all
bias , passion , prejudice and sympathy which
might have ailBcn during the courw of the
trial , lie then outlliml the crime , ns allege 1
by the state , and Instructed that It was
npcess'iry for tha prosecution to nave proven
every material t-tatement before a verdict
of guilty could bs returned.
He said that the defendant had set up
two defens's , Insanity and sslf-defense. The
former , he s > ald , only excuses a killing when
the i-lajer was Insane at the time , when he
had not ( sufficient mcntil capacity to dis
tinguish between right and wrong. He
warned the Jury not to mistake for Insanity
any deprestfon , or Intense rxcltomont which
might ha\e been wrought up by Jealousy ,
anger or revenge. Ho urged the Jurors to
give due weight to the testimony of the ex
perts , but said that they were not bound
by It. and could reject It entirely If they
saw fit.
As to th ? theory of self defense , Judge
Kcyyjr said that It must have bcsn _ shown
that Ish had reason to believe tint he was
tliicatoned wltn death or personal violence ,
that mere- verbal threats on the part ol
Clmppl ? were not fciifllclent to excuse. "If
> ou find frcm the cvldeno ? , " he continued ,
"that the defendant sought , or brought on
by a conspiracy with his wife or otherwise
\oliintarlly entered Into the difficulty In
question with the deceased Chappl ? for the
puniDsj of wrraltlng lovcngo upon him , or
that he killed him In n spirit of retaliation
or revenge for the purpcse of punishing the
decc-as-d for past Injuries , the defendant can-
net avail -lilinseir of the law of stolt dcfrnso. "
lie , Instructed , too , that If Ish provoked great
danger by his ov.n acts he could not aval !
himself of the law. The Jury was Instructed
however , to taK Into account threats made
by ChiprU agllnst Ish , although ujicommiinl-
cated to th ? latter , In determining which one
cf the two mm was the aggressor.
Thu couit Instructed that It the Jurors had
any reason to believe that Isli wau Insane , or
acted In fialf-defeiis'j. It was incumbent to
bring In a verdict of acquittal. If not , then
It was ntcessary to consider the rent of the
testimony.
The three degrees of murder were exhaus
tively defined In the inutructlns. In sp-alc-
Ing of manslaughter It was said that If from
the testimony it was found that Ish lookeJ
Intn the bedroom and found his wife In a com
promising portion with Chappie and this
sight engendered feelings of anger and Jeal-
ousiy cauy'ng ' him to nhoot Chupple , then
' 'sueh a state of facts would constitute a
killing upon a sudden quarrel and the de
fendant would be guilty of manslaughter. "
Th ? Jurors weie also Instructed that the
alleged confession of the wlfo to Ish was not
tnilllolent to warrant the Jurors in believing
that an Illicit Intimacy existed between Mrs.
Ish and Chappie , unless there was ether testi
mony. Judge K'ysor said that even If the
jurois did find' from the evidence that such
Intimacy existed and tjint Isli killed Chappie
solely on that account , It was not snifTlclent
In the. cyo ot thu law as an excum and that
Ish would be guilty of manslaughter , at least.
The rjnialnder of th.o Instructions were de
voted to Instructing the jurors as to how they
should find wliat weight should be given to
the. evidence of the various ) witnesses * .

sirrri.nn TIIIJ IIOUT.I.L CLAIM.
Aflrr n Ti-rin of Var * the Clly Sc-
I'tiri-n Iti la > .
The old Howell Lumber company claim ,
which has been a fruitful source of conten
tion In the city council during the past five
JCJM and the subject of numerous veto
messages , has finally b ? n tv'ttlcd , the ns-
slgnce-s of lha lion ell concern delivering to
the city their warrant for $ tS64.71 ns pay
ment for the special taxes assessed against
the company In 1S91.
The original claim of the- Howell company
against the city was on account of the openIng -
Ing and extension ot Lcavanworth street ,
from n point midway between Fifth and
Sixth strosto to the MlMourl river. The
company obtained n judgment ot $ S.148.0C ,
nnd warrants on the special fund for this
num were turned over to the cl-rk of the
district court , In payment of the judgment.
Thereafter potno of the property assesssd
paid Its portion of the special tax , but an
amount about equal to the fac3 ot the judg
ment remained tincollected. This Included
a tax of $1,861.71 , which was nssess.'d agalns't
the property of the Howell company. Finally
the judgment went Into the hands of a Jphl-
cage bank , and then C. L. Chaffej got pos
session of It.
Thfrn for two jears Chnffee vainly en
deavored to have the claim paid out of the
general fund. Half n doen tlmss the. neces-
tary legislation was secured In the council ,
but In each case the Item was vetoed by
Mayor Ilcmls' , and the combine wag unable
to muster the necessary twelve votes. The
contention of the mayor was that the coun
cil had no right to pay the judgment out
of any other fund than the special fund
which wan created for that purpose. He also
pointed out the fact that the holders of the
claim weio trying to get their warrants
cished without paying the amount of nearly
? u,000 , which they owed In special taxes.
The result was that the effort was aban
doned. The claim went back Into the hands
of the bank and neither the judgment nor
the tax was paid. A fovv tlaysi ago the
ofllcirs of the bank Instructed their locil
attorney to look up tho" matter and make
a settlement. This ho did , with the result
stated. The portion of the special tax owed
by the Howell company has been paid by
turning back the warrant for that amount
and th : balance of the tincollected tax ,
amounting to $3,483.35 , will probably * be
paid by a similar arrangement.

The ! < braska nml Western Iowa Imple
ment Dealers' association met at the lioan
of Trail ? rooms ytsterJay In Its fifth nnnun
convention.
The association was formeil In Omahn five
years ago and now numbers something more
tlian 200 members , The association
formed for the purpose of mutual protection
of Interest ? , the discussion of subjects re
latltiK to the retail Implement business am
the correction of the existing evils of the
trade.
When the meeting was called to order
therevero but few members o
the association present , but word had bcei
tccelvccl that a large number of delegates
\vould arrlvo on the morning and noon
trains. President Qrafton announced the
appointment of a commltteo on reception am
an adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock
In the afternoon. The rosoltit'on committee ,
consists of C. W. Sliumwny , T. H. Whit-
taker , W. I , . Ilattln , J. White , II. W. Flske
W. P. HrlgRs and W. M. Bronson.
At 2:30 : o'clock In the afternoon the conven
tion reassembled with n liberal nttendanco o
tltlegatea present. Alter the preliminary
opening servlcos President Grafton delivered
his annual nil dress. lid spoke as follows :
PAVOUED A. CASH PLAN.
Gentlemen of the Fifth Annual Convention
of the Nebraska and Western Iowa Imple
ment Dealers' Association ; . We have JUbt
passed oiu of the most disastrous sEasorm
for the Implement dealer that wo have ever
experienced In the state , causoJ by the
failure of crops In a large part of tha terrl
lory , and the depreciation of prices on al
farm products , also the depreciation c
finances , \vhlch Is the worat that In all prob
ability will ever occur la the history of our
country. All classes and all Industries have
suffered frjm the strlngsncy of the monej
market of the past year. Our wisest legisla
tors lia\e been at tholr wits' ends endeav
oring to fustaln the credit of our country.
The resources of our treasury have been
time and again below the safety point , on.
Is It to be wondered that we , as Implement
dealers , inciting here In convention , should
feel our responsibility , and gentlemen , In
our deliberations let each member feel his
responsibility , and I would urge that In al
the action taken hero , an honest en
deavor b ? made to bstter the condition of
each retail Implement dealer In our terri
tory.Lst
Lst us remember that the action taken
hero not only affects our own Individual In
terests , but In far reaching In Its results.
Behind the retail Implement dealers are the
manufacturers , the Jobbers and the whole
salers who control , and perhaps.-'constltuto
one of the greatest financial factors of our
country. To tne retailer they look for the
means of disposing of the product ? of the
factory , and I believe that on account of the
poor organization of the retail dsalers for
their protection a large1 mearure of the
financial depression can be attributed.
SHOULD ALL STAND TOGETHER
The lesion of the past S3ems to mo to
teach us that we have been ths Instruments
to the abure of the credit system. Lt UD
ottfrt with this convention tesolvlng that we
will have our share of tie ! cash trad ? alone
with the groccryman. the hardware man and
dealers In all other classes of merchandise.
It Is a fact that we have educated our cus
tomer that he can buy of us on time , but he
will go to th ? lumberman or dealer In another
line of trade and expect to pay cash , or pay
In sixty days' time at the most. I think
we should sell as near for cash as any other
merchant. New ; let us quit this time busi
ness ; let us buy fcr as near cash as poaslble
and sell the same way , and therj will bj no
call for Implement dealers' failures' . It Is the
credit system that ruins all branches of In
dustry. The crop falls and the consumer
falls to pay for what he Intended to with
that crop. Then the retailer falls to pay tlis
Jobber and the Jobber falls to pay the matin
facturer. Hence the failures. Gentlemen , lot
us null this credit system , and now is a good
time to quit. i
A few local organizations have ben formed
for protection agalnbt unholy competition.
This Is ? a good step In the right direction , and
I would urge all dealers In our association to
Join themselves together In this way , maklnR
their prices and abiding by them In all caws.
SUGGESTIONS FROM THE SECRETARY.
At the conclusion of President Grafton's ad
dress , he called upon the secretary and treas
urer of th ' association , J. A. McLaughlln. df
Craig , for his annual report. Mr. McLqugh-
lln confessed to being at a decided disad
vantage. All of the accounts and books ot
association were burned In a fire that
ate up Mr. McLaiighlln's Implement house at
Craig lusit week. As a- result he ha4 ( o
draw upon his memoiy for a report , but he
had everything down to a pretty fine point
and lis | rsport was lecelved and acc'pted by
the association. Mr. McLaughlln has been
cno of the most active workers of the. asso
ciation , and his report dealt at some length
upon the efforts of the committees of the as-
roclatlon to tecme legislation at Lincoln last
winter looking to a modification of the ex
emption and limitation laws of the state. lie
reported that the committee had been unable
to accomplish anything , as the legislature
was not of the brand that cared to do any
thing for the business Interests ot the state.
The secretary urged that some action be
akcn by the association to
( becure cooperation
tion among the eleaUro of the state for the
puipcso of preventing the catalogue houses
and grain companies from telling goods diiect
to the farmers at wholesale prices. He urged
that the regular dealers should refuse to
handle the goods of Jobbers end manufac
turers who ( old thslr lines to the catalogue
houses and Urns came Into direct and unfair
competition with the members of the regular
tiade. He WIB also In favor of taking some
nctlcn to do away wllli the abuses of the
credit system , and wanted the exemption
Uws amended so that retail Implement Urine
would no longer bo the dumping ground of
ull the carrled-ovir paper In the country.
J. J. Trompen , Gus Babson and Wl L. fiat-
tin were appointed a committee on resolu
tions and will report at the meeting today.
RESOLUTIONS AND REPORTS.
A resolution was Introduced by Mr.
Trompen und referred to the committee on
resolutions denouncing the system of manu
facturers selling goods direct to the catalogue
houses. The resolution provided that a conir
inlttce should be appointed to get the li'JG
catalogues of the houses In that line of bus
iness , and should notify the manufacturer *
fuiniching them goods that their products
would not b3 handled by the regular trade , if
they continued to place them with the cat
alogue concerns. It also provided that the
secretary should correspond | ( Ilio Imple
ment ilejleis associations of other states
with a view of securing their co-opjratlon In
this matter.
J. J , Trompen reported the efforts of the
legislation committee to secure some modi-
flratlorf of the exemption and ; limitation
UWH at Lincoln last winter , He scored ( bo
legislature and said the only way to ac
complish the desired rfcult was for the
buelnesi men of each county to get together
before election and pledge their representa
tives to support such a incatme.
C. O. Shumway of Lypns lead a paper In
which he told of the gooj eff ctH of I oca )
organisation , The Northeast Nebraska Im
plement Dealers' association was preanUed
last spilng. The d.leru got together a/id /
( lidded to maintain prices and to uspect
acti cther'u bcvlntds , The result hud been
most sutlstaetorj' .
T. It. Whlttaker of Lorton told of the ex
perience of the Southeastern NcbrH'ka Im
plement Dealers' association , which was or
ganized last pprlng at Auburn. Prices had
been maintained and the united agreement
of the dealers had resulted In correcting
many of the abuses from which the trade
lias sufTeied ,
WHEELS W WE TRADE.
J. I ) . Prltchard of Omaha darted a talk on
the subject of bicycle * and many of the mem
bers took a hand In the discussion , It de
veloped that inott of the dealers had met
with considerable trouble with the wheel
trade on account of the factories selling di
rect to the wheelman and cutting prices.
N. A. Wootlson of UroNFirm Machinery , St
Louis , spoke Mrongly Imfhvor of n place fo
the bicycle In the utoroof the Implomtn
dealer. It belonged Ihert Just ns much n
wagons and buggies , anQi had no place In th
hardware M-.ro. Tbe" tll of the trade I
wheels would be retnMKil as the business
reached a mare ptable rusls ,
KrcJ M. L * > mls of ) the Chicago Farn
Implem.nt Xrws , at therequeit of the pres
dent , started the dlscuoHon on the subjec
of the unfair competition ot thecatalogu
houses. He said that * he ? was discussing a
evil which every deafer hnd met In his bus
nsss , nnd did not know that he- could offo
anything new. The fact existed that the catalogue
loguo houseo nnd the totl houses listed gooi' '
made by reputable mannfactuterg and pol <
them direct to the farmers at ruinously lo\
prices. He suggested as a remedy ot th
evil that the Implement associations of th
tovcral western states form a fcderatlo
and decide not to buy goods of any nmnii
facturer who allows his goods to be llstei
by the catalogue concerns' .
After some further discussion on othc
tonic. . ' , the convention adjourned until thl
morning.

about to give up their business venture her
was received with the most unqualified aston
Ishment. The { -lightest. Investigation servei
to absolutely refute ths , rtory. but In spite o
this It spread Into considerable proportions
The membera of the 1lrm In question are en
tlrely unable to account for the story. They
declare that their business has been verj
good , much better than they had expected
and that they are anticipating a heavy trade
during the remainder of the season. Neither
this year nr at any other time have the }
entertained the slightest Intention of leaving
Omaha and they propose to keep on Joint ,
business , nil rumors to the contrary notwlth
smarting.

There nro a number of the- members of
the Board of Education who wonder how the
ICcal street railway manages to do business
for a year at a stretch without a conference
of Its board of directors.They. / . are. morally
certain that the board cf directors has not
bten convened since last February and this ,
Is how they happen to know It.
One day last winter a petition was sent
In to the Board of Education In wh'ch a
number of patrons of the- schools protested
aglnst the payment of full fares by the
children and suggested that some measures
should be taken to Induce the Omaha Street
Railway company to issue commutation
tickets to school children. The petition was
referred to a special committee , of which
Hurgcss was chairman , with Instructions to
see the street railway ofllclals and ascer
tain whether something could not be- done
In the direction indicated. Mr. Burgess had
Scciclary Glllan write a very nlco note 'o
the secretary of th ? street railway , asking
when It would be convenient for the officials
to receive the committee and talk the mat
ter over. The- next day brought an equally
c.curteou.9 ( reply In which It was stated
that the matter was one which would prop
erly come before the board of directors am ]
that the committee would b ? notified < ts boon
as there was a meetlng'of the board.
More than ten months have passed and the
commltteo has received no official notification
cf the sitting of the bwrd of directors. The
report of the special committee Is occasionally
calloJ for at a meeting of the Board ol
Education. Burgrss patiently asks for more
time , which IB granted , and so the com
mutation tickets arc still among the pos
sibilities of the future.

The littleCycarold daughter of Nellie
Brennan , who was arrested Tuesday night ,
was taken to' the police slation yesterday
and placed In charge of the matron. The
little tot Is a particularly bright child , and
seems thus far to have escaped the bad
effects of evil associations. She has been
living with an aunt , a Mrs. Murray , near
Sixth and Pacific streets , for several months ,
a woman who is said to be little better than
the mother , who has been a confirmed drunk
ard for a number of years.
Matron Cummlngs applied to Judge Baxtsr
yesterday for a guardian to be appointed
to take charge of the child In the future and
Iho case was set for a hearingtoday. .
Mis. Murray and the Brennan woman bore
caused the police no end of trouble- , the
former having engaged In n fight In a South
Sixteenth street meat market at one time ,
when It took the united efforts of seveial
ofllcers to quell the row. Mrs. Bronnan was
sent to the House of the Good Shepbard
by Matron Cummlngs a year ago , but only
remained a i'hort ' tlmo , ' preferring to return
.0 her former haunts and dissipations.
