NO TELLING HOW LONG THEY V/ILL / TALK

Hume Very I.Idle tlie Vt-ar
the Hunk Kallrd.
Arguments are being made In the Dicker-
son case In Judge < Smith's court. All of the
evidence for the defense was submitted Just
before noon yesterday arid the state's evi
dence In rebuttal was decidedly brief. At
the afternoon session tha arguments were
commenced and no one seems to have any
definite Idea as to how long this branch of
thq casu will ( art.
Under the Io\\a statutes an attorney can
talk as long as hohas the Inclination and
necessary physical ability In an argument
before a Jury. The only restriction placed
on the attorneys Is that not more than two
of them shall argue a cai < ? to a Jury .without
the consent of the court. In the case on
trial there Is an endless amount of matter
In the form of books , newspaper articles and
exhibits of that kind , and If the reading ot
these Is considered material by cither side
of the case there Is no use In guessing as
lo the probable time at which the Jury will
ba given a chance to tell what It Ins learned
about the law of banking during the last
three weeks.
When the court convened this morning
Hon. L. W. Rosi was callel ns a witness
for the defense. He testified that he had
known luaac Dlckeron for forty years. Ho
had seen him In Chicago on October 2S , 1893 ,
In the evening. Ho was certain of the date ,
as it was the tlmo Carter Harrison was as-
saMlnntcd. The witness remembered of
meeting Mr. Dlckeison and talking with him
about the tragedy.
Mrs. Isaac Dlckerson , wife of the defend
ant , was called. She testified that her hus
band was absent from Atlantic most of the
year 1892. Ha got home In October of that
year. Ho was absent most of the year 1S93
In Missouri. He was home July 4 and elec
tion day. Prior to election day he had gone
to Chicago , and after election day returned
tu Missouri , coming home on Christmas day.
They waited dinner for him that day.
Nellie Dlckerton said that she was at home
nearly all of 1893. In July she went away
and remained until August. Her father
went away the day befoio she did , and went
afcay from home a day or two before she
returned the latter part of August. She
knew this because he had telegraphed her.
Ho was homo In October , went to Chicago ,
was at home election day and then went to
Missouri , returning Christmas day.
Fannlo Dlckerson was In Battle Creek ,
Mich. , early In 1893 and know from letters
I.er father was absent from Atlantic most
of the time. She icturned to Atlantic on
Juno 19 and a week after her father came
homo , remaining until after the Fourth of
July. He then went to Missouri and was
homo a few days In August. Ho returned
again about the 15th of October to attend a
wedding on the ICth. Later he went to Chicago
cage and was home again to vote. Ho then
went to Missouri and returned on Christmas
clay.
clay.This
This closed the testimony for the defense.
Hi-gh Meyer was the only witness called
by the stateIn rebuttal. He stated that the
defenlnnt did not offer to assign a Ufa In-
si'r&nce policy for him on January 13 , 1894 ,
In the presence of Mr. Swan. Counsel asked
many other questions , which were ruled out.
Witness said a man named Block was In tin
bank the day It failed when ho was talking
to the defendant. This closed tha , case.
Judge Smith then overruled the motion
of counsel for the defense on the question
of former acquittal and adjudication , and
said the case should go to the Jury on Its
merits.
Attorney Swan opened the argument for
the state at the afternoon session and had
not completed his speech when court ad
journed at C o'clock.
Accusnn ; OP STEALING A HOUSE.
Severn ! FainllleH ArreHteil for Ajuiro-
prlulluur IteNtileiiet- II. 1 * . KeriiH.
Shaken by winds , blasted by lightning and
blackened by numerous fires , a two-story
frame dwelling house belonging to H. P.
Kerns has been stolan , it Is alleged , by the
people living In the vicinity. This charge
was filed In Vlen's Justice shop yesterday
morning and the lawi Invoked to protect the
property and punish the freebooters. The
complaint was lodged by Kerns , and charged
that Robert Stevenson , Mrs. Stevenson and
Ml'js Stevenson , MrH. Pool and son and Earl
Bowers were among the known guilty par
ties who had been carrying away the house.
They were arrested , brought Into court , and
each entered a plea of not guilty. The hear
ing of the case was set for next Saturday
afternoon , nnd the accused parties were per
mitted to go away upon their own recog
nizances.
The house had had quite a history. It has
had several temporary abiding places , moved
from one part of the .city to another on
wheels , until It has reached Its last resting
place , on Fourth avenue , between Fifteenth
, and Sixteenth streets. It has been twice
struck by lightning , and three times on
flra. The last two times were Incendiary
attempts made a few evenings ago to burn It ,
but each time the flro department was too
prompt : The last flro occurred Saturday
night , and slnco then Kerns alleges that his
neighbors have conspired to steal the house
and use It for kindling. Since the last fire
every door nnd window , every bit of In-
tcrlor finishing and part of the floors have
been torn up and carried away. Within ths
last two days , or rather nights , Kerns says
that his enemies have been working on the
siding , and have torn It all oft up to tha
second story , hence his desire for police pro
tection ,

A largo two-s'tory ' frame building In the
western part of the city , onca used as a
warehouse , but more recently as < i carpenter
shop and mlsMon church , has been broken
open repeatedly and In such a way as to
lead ttc owners to believe that burglary
was the object. There was nothing partic
ularly uo.rth stealing about the place , but
the manner In which entrance had been
effected each time pointed to tlie tact that the
house-breikerg had besn frightened off before -
fore they had time to accomplish their pur-
POSJS. The building has a steep open stair
way running up on the outside opening Into
a large room. It waa In this room that
religious services were sometimes hold nnd
It wao this door that was most frequently
forccdi The lock would be broken about as
fast as It could be replaced , and sometimes
the door Itrolf would be found with a hole
In It large enough to admit a man. This
flotation of the sanctuary occurred with such
regularity that the owners of the building
and others Interested determined to spare
no means to catch the vandals. It wao
reportcJ ycsterdiy that they had succeeded
and had the culprit In close confinement.
An Investigation showed that It was a
large healthy and extremely e'.irowd William
goat who had been UP ! rig the building as a
lodging hou < 3. The goat had often been
noticed browsing around the place , and one
early riser In the neighborhood noticed him
coming down the stairway just at daylight ,
and alto observed that the door had bsen
again broken open. The matter was reported
to the owners of the. building , the door wao
fixed up again and a watch set. The next
night befora the tower lights became bright
enough to reveal billy's brown fur coat he
wan seen to skip up the stairway , rear up on
his hind ICIJP , hit the door a few vigorous
raps with that part of his anatomy designed
for the purpose , break the lock and walk In
with a triumphant bleat.
Slnco the goat h > id been locked up and
confined with a stout halter no burglaries
have been reported.

DBS MOINES , Jn'n. ' 29. ( Special. )
Speaker Bycrs has succeeded In placating a
largo number ot the disappointed solons In
the lower house by Increasing the member
ship of the more Important committees. A
number of members mainly from the north
western part of the state have been placed
on the 'nine ' or ten'lcadlng committees. Mr.
Spauldlng of Floyd was added to the commit
tee on ways and means , In place of Mr.
Lander , excused. Mr. Ladd of Butler , Funk
and McQuIn were made additional members
of the committee on Insurance. The commit *
tco on appropriations was Increased to nine
teen and Morrison of Grundy and Thompson
of Fayelte were appointed as additional mem
bers. Mr. Parker of Mills was placed on
the committee on agriculture , and there are
other changes In minor committees.
The house Indulged In a llttlo byplay
yesterday In regard to the appointment of a
large number of additional committee clerks
that will have a tendency to call a halt to
the proposed employment of n largo force of
typewriters nnd supcrnumcry clerks In the
upper branch of the general assembly. Mr.
Spauldlng ot Floyd Introduced a resolution ,
In Imitation of the action of the senate , pro
viding that the chairman of every standing
committee should be authorized to employ a
clerk. The resolution was vigorously sup
ported by the house on the ground that the
representatives were entitled to the same
privileges and Immunities as the senators ,
every one of whom , except the democrats ,
had ono clerk now , and were considering the
propriety of employing a typewriter for each
committee.
The opposition of Speaker Byers nnd the
almost solid vote of the democratic contin
gent prevented the adoption of the resolu
tion.

cial committee on code revision , will Intro
duce a resolution tomorrow prohibiting all

tion whould bs taken , or code revision go

Ing committees began work on the new code

lum for the Insane at Cherokee and for the

There uic , plenty of pile cures which give
relief and sometimes euro a mild case of
piles , but there Is only one which can bo
depended upon with certainty to cure ob
stinate , long-standing cases , and that Is the
Pyramid Pile Cure.
Endorsements and testimonials nro re
ceived dally trom men and women whose
Integrity anjl reliability arc above ( mesthn
and In this connection a letter received from
th Rev. Jas. H. Wesbrook of Browne , Mich. ,
may bo ot Interest to pile sufferers who have
sought In vain for n cure , Ho says :
1 I have used the Pyramid Pile Cure and I
know that It Is all that IB claimed for It. I
had been troubled with piles more or less
for about eighteen years nnd I had tried
other remedies , but the piles grew worse
ur.tll about ten months ago I used the
Pyramid Pile Cure. It gave almost instant
relief and I have been free from piles ever
since. Rev. Jas. II. Wesbrook.
Mr. Frank Smith , the well known and
popular druggist of Ypsilantl , Mich. , In
speaking of the Pyramid Pile Cure says-
"A year ago I sold. C. C. Potter , 119 Ham
ilton St. , Vpsilantl , Mich. , a box of the
Pyramid Pile Cure. He made the following
statement to me today ; "I have been
troubled for twenty years with itching piles.
Have tried nearly everything that promised
relief , but got very llttlo help until one
year ago I called on my druggist , Frank
Smith , and got a box of the Pyramid Pile
Cure. The one box used according to direc
tion , wasg In my case , a perfect cure as a
year spend without any symptoms ot the
trouble has convinced , me. "
Although a comparatively new remedy , Us
popularity is such that all druggists now
sell It : If your druggist hasn't It in stock
he , will get It for you if you ask him at EO
