Mrs. Uac'iicl J. White , wife of W. I. White ,
who llvrs nt 1C1S South Eighth street , was
yestcnU.r found Insane , and ordered taken to
the hofpltal at Clarlnda. White , the hus
band , filed the Information. Whits himself Is
an eccentric clnractcr , whose favorlto boast
Is that by a mysterious potency of his
saliva ho la able to cure all Ilia Ills that fles',1
Is heir to. He has midci the boast many
times that he cuml President Cleveland of
something or other at the time when the
president passed through Council Ulliffs. He
Is unusally considered a very fair candidate
for tha hospital himself. About three years
ago Vis mother died. When the neighbors
went In her bed was found to be In a most
horribly filthy condition , and their sense of
decency was EO outraged that they reported the
case to the coroner nnd asked him to file an
Information charging Whlto with the- murder
of his mother. The coroner Investigated , but
refused to take nny action.
The commissioners found yest6rJay that
two years ago Sirs. Whlto wns arrested on
some trumped up charge at Hie Instance of a
neighbor , and compelled to stay for some
time In th ? city Jail. She received a stverj
shock , and from that time to this has grown
more nervous. She believed tlmt she wns
being persecuted by her encmUs. Whenever
she would do any work she would become
oxclted and think she must burn the houseor
kill lier husband or children. She realizes
her condition perfectly , and said sh : ought to
ho taken to different surorundlngs , or she
would get worse. White laid her condition
to the 111 treatment she received at the hands
of his mother , although the latter was almost
helpless for some years before her death. The
commissioners found tliat that , together with
the lack of home comforts , ill health , and
having a paranoiac for a husband , were re-
fpinslble for her troubl ? .
Although Mrs. White realized what was
being clone , she seemed to think that the com
missioners meditated sending her husband
away too. When White came out from giv
ing Ills testimony she approached one of the
commissioners nnd sold : "What are you
going to do with him ? Is he crazy , too ? "

Rut IIlH Coat.
A year ago last summer a shed In the rear
of the residence of J. C. Lange , deputy In
ternal revenue collector , on South Seventh
otrcet , was broken Into. The trunks nnd
boxes It contained were rifled , and among
the things stolen1 were a marble table top ,
some curtains and a big fur coat of Lange's.
Mr. Lange had given up all thought of ever
seeing his coat again. Christmas night ha
was on board a motor , when he- saw a man
wearing a coat that had a strangely familiar
appearance. He Icoked closely and recog
nized , lt as his own. He confided his sus
picions to the man Inside the coat and
found that his name was T. Monroe. He
ta Id he bought It of Ed Durko for $2. Mon
roe went to the police station with Lange
and shed the coat. Durke , the ex-city dog
catcher , was called upon the carpet and said
ho bought the coat of n whlto man , whose
name he did not know , for $1.50 at Mrs.
I'ralor's. It was turned over to Lange , but
ho lias not yet decided whether he will wear
It azaln or not.

Troubles between the government and the
citizens of Manawa have been many , but a
new turn was taken yesterday , when W. II.
Heck , together with fourteen other citizens
of th ? little town , filed In th * district court
a petition asking that the town be dis
solved. There Is but little left of the town
now , plnco the greater part of It was cut off
about a year ago by an order of court. What
little has been left of the government has
been used mainly for the purpose of making
things Interesting for Colonel Heed , the pro-
prlttor of Grand Plaza. Many of the or
dinance passed by the village board se < m to
the public generally to have been passed
with that end In view. IJut Mayor Beck
has always had a great deal of pride In his
ofllce , and that he should voluntarily lay"
down the crown wns a surprise to nil who
learned of It yesterday. The petition asks
the court to submit to the voters of the
toun at the next election the question of
dissolving the town , and alleges that the
fifteen signers are more than one-fourth of
all the voter ? .

In looking through n lot of old papers a
few days ago County Assessor Hardln ran
across a letter written by his grandfather ,
D. Hnrdln , to his brother , Mark Hardin , of
Shelbyvllle , Ky. , In March , 1S3D. The
writer of the letter was on of the first
.vhlts settler ? In this locality. He wrote
his letter from "Council Bluffs , Pottnwat-
Mmle sub agency , " which Is supposed to
have been several miles south cf the prs-
3nt Council Bluffs , In the vicinity of
Traders' Point. In It are cited a number
3f things which show that the prices of
farm products were considerably higher In
those democratic tlnrs than In UICEU. It
might have been due to the administration ,
but possibly the entire lack of railroads had
something to do with It. Flour , the letter
says , was from $15 to $25 n barrel , while
corn meal sold nt $1.50 a bushel. Pork sold
for from $12.50 to $20 a hundred , and turkeys
from $2 to $3 apiec' . Grown chickens sold
for $ C a dozen and eggs retailed at GO cents
i dozen. Corn was $1 a bushel , Irish po
tatoes $1.50 a bushel and cabbage $12.50 a
hundred.

MEMPHIS , Dec. 20. Perhaps the most
unique game of foot ball ever witnessed
In this country was played at Citizens purk
this afternoon between a picked cloven
from Yale nnd Princeton universities nnd
the Memphis Athletic club. The 'varsity
men won the game easily by a score of
3S to 0. This Is the first tlmo In the history
of college foot ball that the sons of Ell
und the men from old Nassau have stood
side by side In n lineup. The affair was
made the occasion of a great socletv event
In Memphis , and hundreds of socle'ty folk
froirj towns and cities near by came In
hist night or early this mornlnc to seer
the big men from the east n'.ay foot ball.
The day was nn Ideal one , A fair estimate
places the number present nt 4,000 , There
Is but little to tell about the contest.
From the moment play began It could be
seen by those familiar with the game that
the local boys were far outclassed , but
they nlucklly fought the sturdy experts
from the , east. The first half was com
pleted with the score standing 22 to 0
ngulnet the Memphis team. In the second
half the mixed team had everything Its
own way.

political Interest In a single position as
has been aroused over the question of a suc

and almost every hour new ones arc heard
of. Governor Jackson offered , the place nl-

Judge Hen McCoy of Oskaloosa. Then It
was dlpcovercd that the state constitution
disqualified him from acc'ptlng , mid the
other candidates Logan their work. Attorney
General llcmley arrived homo today , and
In on Interview said there was no doubt of

The Mlssourl-Iowa boundary dispute has
narrowed down to the qu stlon of ownership
of a strip of land four tn'lcs long and 107
feet wide. Attorney General Ilemlcy re
turned today from Washington , and says
that ho and the attorney general of Mis
souri , with the assistance of the supreme
court , decided all differences except as to this
strip. A commission consisting of Peter A.
Dey of Iowa and General Harding of Mis

the controversy Is that the disputed land Is
a harbor for'criminals.
DAWSON CHARGED WITH MUIIUEK.
Coroner' * Jury lit DOM Maine * HalilN
Scott'x Slayer IlexitoiiNllilc.
DES MOINES , Dec. 26. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Inquest over the body of Walter
Scott was held today. The Jury found Scott
came to bis death by the hand of Samuel R.
Dawson , and that the * act was a wilful and
malicious murder. Dawson Is trying hard to
make a good Insanity showing , but hla law
yer , Judge William ConnorliasUlwlthdrawn , ,
from the case , refusing to handle It on such
a basis. ' ?
The Inquest was without Ijnp6rtance. It
was held at the city hall andja'ttnded ! by a
great throng of curiosity seekers. The wit
nesses examined were Odlcer" Duvtol , Detec
tive EH Harding. Mrs. Dawson , ' ' Detective
James Bain , Expressman Wyani and James
Smith. Duval testified that rhe - > saw Mrs.
Dawson standing behind Dawson'-at the time
the shooting was done. . It is'lhtlniated that
.lie ballevcd she was an accessary' . ' . She denied
that she wa ln''thc hall a ( . the , time the
shooting was done , and ther twas a scene
when , she jumped to her feeti and- demanded
If Duval meant to call her a liar. 'She ' raved
and denounced the conspiracy which she said
had been formed against her , J'The Jury
promptly brought in a verdict pt death by
murder. -c f K
It Is understood tliat Scqtt's 'fathep- - will
have.Mrs. Dawson arrested pI MuScharge of
'
Inciting Daws'on to the murder. , , „ ,
Dawson was taken from the jail to the po
lice court this morning and i arraigned on 'the
charge of murder. He" "was very feeble , and
when the charge was read to him seemed
dazed. An hour before , when asked by his
Jailer If he remembered killing Scott , he
had said : "My God , did t do that ? " * In
court he had no lawyer on hand , and the po
lice judge continued the case for preliminary
examination. Dawson acted very much like
an Insane man. iTo i
t „
To a newspaper man Dawson talked for
the first tlmo today. Ho said he' had no
recollection of events that had occurred since
December 9 ; that was the last'date ho could
recall. He was trapped , however. Into admis
sion of jome Intervening events , and this
gave strength to the belief that he Is feign
ing Insanity.
The funeral of Scott will be held at 2
o'clock tomorrow.
Dawson was seen by a newspaper man to
night and said concerning his Inventions thai
some tlmo ago ho had written out the
formulas and a full explanation of the pro
cesses for producing the hardened copper and
Damascus steel , and placed them In a safe
place. In case of his death , ho said , they
would certainly be found , but at present
he would not tell where they had been
placed. They would not bo made public , but
would bo held In trust for the benefit of the
company recently organized to handle the
Inventions. It is understood th'e formulas
hava been tested and proved correct and
placed In a safety deposit vault , from which
nobody but Dawson has authority to get
them except in case of his death ,

A change ID the original plans at the South
Omaha Wa'ter Works company Is contem
plated and a decision will be arrived at very
soon. The plan now Is to bring ttie twenty-
Inch water main from the wells up M street
as far as Twentieth , and then run south to
N street , thence west on N street to the
etock yard ? . It was the * Intention of the
company at first to keep straight west on
M street to the yards ? and thus avoid tear
ing up the brick paving on N street. The
change contemplated will cave considerable
grading and bring the mains Into the yards
at a more convenient placj and with less pipe.
As soon as the city council acts On the grad
ing proposition made by the water company
work will commence. Some property owners
on N street fear that If M street Is graded to
the river li will be a long time before N
street east of Twentieth street Is opened.
Mayor Johnston * ays that It will make no dif
ference , as N street will surely be graded
before long. _
