mony was to the effect that she boarded a
Sherman avenue train , southbound , at Wirt
street , April 8 , 1895 , and Instructed the con
ductor to stop at Uunletto street. When the
train was nearlng Durdette street she saw
that the conductor was not going to stop the
train and signaled him to do so. When the
train was stopped It was several feet south
ot Burdette street and ns she attempted to
alight from the car she saw that a ditch , too
wide to etep over and several feet deep , ran
alongside the track. While she was hestltat-
Ing about stepping off and while she still had
ono foot on the step of the motor car In
which she was riding , the conductor signaled
the motorman to go ahead. As a result , fhe
was thrown do\\n , the trailer striking her
and one wheel .passing over her right leff
between the ankle und the knee , breaking the
bones and crushing and cuttliiR' tlie flesh.

and described the wound to the Jury , Indi
cating on the exposed limb of the plaintiff

which had bsen found necessary. Th < ; com
plications referred to by the plaintiff he at

moment , started toalk toward the rear

morning. Will Lawler , who was n familiar
character about the streets of Omaha In the
palmy dayo ot the old Museo theater , Is In
attendance at the trial. The suit Is for $4r > 00
damages , claimed to have been sustained by
the ibuseo company by reason of the failure
of the bank to ship $250 to Hanover , Ger

designed to pay the traveling expenses of a
German giantess who was under contract to
como to Omaha at a certain time , ono of the

IHnrhnrKeil In Pollee Court nnil Tnke
lie Trnln.
The Wilson women were discharged from
custody late yesterday afternoon , the two
complaints ngalnst them , one for assault
and battery nnd the other for reflrtlng an
ofllcir , belnz dismissed on a technicality.
They lost no tlmo In leaving the uncongenial
atmosphere of Omaha , for it was less than
an hour atter the dismissal when all three
bonrdrd a cci' for the depot.
The trollce court room was again packed
with at'cudlcnce that had come for the sole
purpose of reclnc the \\otncn and of listen
ing to the trhl. People evidently expected a
court room sensation , but were disappointed
In this1. Ucyond a loud weeping and sobb.ng
which two of the women kept up a portion of
the time they were unusually quiet In their
demeanor.
The usual senratlon , however , occurred nt
the county Jail when the police officials came
after them. They hod been notified at 1
o'clock to be ready to co to the police court
at 2 o'clock , hut when the patrol wagon
arrived they said they were not ready. They
quibbled about the form of the order turning
them over to the police. A telephone mcs-
tuigo to the pollc ? Flat Ion brought Captain
Haze with n bench warrant , which wns read
to Ilia women and they were ordered to move
lustantcr. They demurred again and vsanted
time to put on their wraps , but Captain Haze
said they had had tlmo enough and they
were bundled out unceremoniously and car
ried to the wagon , screaming and crying.
A croud quickly gathered and this only
nerved to Increase the racket that the
women made , as they were rapidly driven to
tin police court.
They appeared In the court room hatlcss ,
coatlcss and with eyes red from weeping. The
tlmo of the court was occupied with another
trial and for more than an hour they awaited
nnd In the meanwhile showed to each other
the places on their arms where the police
officers had seized them. They had no at
torney , but before the case was called Mary
engaged Attorney Drltt. Marie pcrs'sted In
Ignoring him for awhile , but finally consulted
him.
him.When the trial was taken up the first wit
ness called to the stand was Constable Wil
son. Ho related the story of the alleged as
sault as has already been published. He
allied In answer to. a question , from the de-
fenbo that he had not two witnesses present
when he levied the attachment and In fact
had brought no witnesses , but Dean Gard
ner was in the room when he made the
levj- .
levjA numbsr of witnesses , Including Dean
Gardner , were called to testify to portions
of the squabble that they had seen.
Defore the conclusion of the testimony
the city prosecutor moved for the dismissal
of tht complaint against the girl , Ruby , as
the constable stated that ho did not blame
her for attempting to defend her aunt and
grandmother and she did not commit much
of an assault. Ruby was consequently dis
charged , but continued her weeping.
After the state rested Attorney Drill
moved a dismissal of the other cases. He
nririipil that the writ of attachment
was Illegally served , as two witnesses
wore not present as the law provided.
The city prosecutor opposed this on the
grounds that this law worked only in cases
of appraisals. Judge Gordon , however , did
not take this view of the case and discharged
the defendants on the motion.
While the women were In court an attempt
was made to seize the wearing apparel that
had been left behind at the county Jail , but
It had been locked up under orders from
the police.

irlth lleliiK Too Intimate
with the I'ettyH.
Two of the associates of the Petty family
ot Forty-ninth and Cumlng streets were on
trial yesterday before Judge Gordon.
There was no specific charge against them.
They were accused only of being suspicious
characters because they were found on the
Potty" premises. They were F. L. Clark and
Thomas Smith , both being members of the
Clark family , whose headquarters are In
West Ornalia. . . . .
Cla"rk"Tvas"arrested about two weeks ago on
suspicion of being Implicated , In the , raids
upon the chicken copps of the residents of
the west side. Ho was discharged , but the
fact worked against him yesterday. Hn
said that he visited the Pcttys with the In
tention of buying a hcrse , but Judge Gordon
nevertheless sentenced him to thirty days In
the county Jail.
Smith succeeded In obtaining a release.
Ho showed a postal card which ordered him
t > ) appear for work upon the streets that
morning. His wife appeared to swear that
ho supported his family.
During the course of the trial a friend of
the two men , Frank Glbbs , entered the court
loom to speak with them. Ho was arrested
as a vagrant. There is no specific charge
against him.

JOHN BULL AS HE IS TODAY

ENGLISHMAN'S QUALITIES ARE DISCUSSED
Koiinil to lie \ < tl n Very IInil
Some Ainrrleitii Opinion * of
Him Hint Xrc'il Moil I li
on tin n.
"John null cf today Is very ticklish. So
are wo. Therefore the subject of John Dull
is a ticklish subject to handle , " remarked
Chancellor MncLcan of the State university
In opening his lecture on the "John Dull of
Today" In the Unity club course lust nlfilit
at Unity church. The words were Intro
ductory to on hour and n half talk , or perhaps -
haps laudation , of the Englishman as an Indi
vidual and a type , gathered , as the speaker
stated , from personal observation. The some
what hackneyed topic was handled with a
freshness and In such a perfectly rhetorical
manner that unusual attention was given.
The chancellor began with a brief Introduc
tion on the prevalent opinion held by Ameri
cana regarding the Englishman in order to
prepare the audience for the somewhat unex
pected remarks ho hherward uttered of John
Dull.
Dull.From
From Its position he said that England
was the center to the modern world that
Homo waa to the ancient , It was the com-
mciclal center of the quarter of the world's
population that was numbered under Its flag.
Moro than all , however , it was the center of
, crcdt ! and of the control of credit. As an
example of thlo it wag mentioned that En-
llshmcn controlled 23',4 per cent of all for
eign stocks In existence , and drew In annu
ally $145,000,000 Interest on capital , equal \o
$5.20 fcr each inhabitant of Great Britain.
The country was no longer considered a first
clare military power , but was the naval power
cf the world , and the speaker held that the
nation wh'ch ruled the wave ? In modern
times was U'c real power. "England must
remain the central power of the world , " said
ho , "until eome cataclysm of nations occurs. "
On account of the reports that the no
bility of Europe had degenerated and the
distress of the poor had Increased the speaker
otated that the prevalent opinion existed In
this country that the stock of England was
passing away , but he thought that It was
better and stronger than ever. This wat
Dhown by individual vigor and in unceasng
advancement and colonization as a nation.
As a manifeptatlcn of this vigor he remarked
upon the number of great men that England
possessed In the present century.
FOUR CLASSES STILL THERE.
The speaker stated that the four classes
still existed in England , the nobility or gen
tlemen , the burgerses or the citizens , the
yeomen or the farmers , and the artificers or
the masoos. Slnco the grant'ng of the fran
chise to the latter they had sprung into great
prominence and were really the political
power of the country. While' in general he
liked EngUnd he deprecated the existence
of the classes , and fervently hoped that they
would never spring up Instills country. Ho
ai-crlbed the fact tliac the country had not
been endangered by a clash between the
classcj and masses to the unity that existed ,
duo to the feeling of equality between even
a man of the masses and the ruler on the
throne.
The only John Dull of the comic paper
type In England was the driver of an omni
bus. In general Englishmen were so dl-
vcrs-e in appearance that pure Englishmen on
the streets of London might be taken for
Americans , Juwy , Germans or anything else.
This was ascribed to the 'fact ' that there
has been a great commingling- members
of various nations from times long * past.
Ho advised the audience that Englishmen
were dreaming of as glorious a future from
the diversity of types as were the Ameri
cans , and that America might not so easily
become the chief nation of the world as was
hoped.
T o phyelcal features struck the chan
cellor as being characteristic of the English
man. Ono was his big feet , a character
istic that extended to his sister. The
speaker raid the size \\as simply prodigious ,
and that it was no wonder that Englishmen
had defeated the world with such feet.
The other physical characteristic was thu
vigor In fecundity. Ho Mated that families
aa a rule contained ten or twelve children.
Thly was true cf rich and poor alike , and
the children of even the poorest were very
"bundles of life. " Ho saw more children
dancing about the streets of Great Drltaln
than ho paw In all of the rest of Europe.
He then refuted some of the prevalent
oplnlpns regarding the moral characteristic ?
of John Bull. He denied that ho was
melancholy , although he was serious. lie
believed , however , In Jollity } and waa as
willing to have a good tinie as' anybody.
Ho was Eclf-deprcclatlng ; more sp than In
the pitt , and the speaker believed that
ho would bo still more to , .lu the future.
Some of the masses Indulged In bca.nlhg , but
the more educated depreciated themselves ,
but loved to hear Americana boast. John
Dull wao also very uniUmonstrnUvc , and
this was mentioned as the source of much
misapprehension. He wasdetermined at'all
times to suppress all manifestations of. af
fection and emotion , especially In the home
life. This was duo to the fact that the
homo waa considered absolutely sacred.
This trait of character waa Instilled in
youth. A boy who cried under punish
ment got more , a contrast with the method
pursued with the "American cry baby/ '
Such Is the stuff out of' which Is made the
people who control the world , " paid Mr.
MacLean.
IS A CONFIDENT CREATURE. !
Another characteristic mentioned was
faith , not only the faith which 'never shrinks
from pressing forward to conquer , but faith
In man. Dy this faith tlio speaker thought
that England bad b'ecn ma-Jo the financial
nation of the world. It brought the Eng-
! lull m an to Invest the capital that made
"progrcBo ours and Interest his. . " To It
was tied another trait , that of thorough
ness , the -ono word which described the
Englishman If It were asked that ho be
described In ono word. Max O'Rell had
stated that he was a combination of the
mule and octopus. Ho certainly believed In
the proverb that "what Is worth doing at
all Is worth doing well. "
The , speaker denied that the Englishman
waa materialistic. The opinion had arisen
that lie was , beoaure ho was practical , nut
( ho lecturer held that alongside the material
istic the ideal had advanced even further. He
stated that while John Dull believed lu get
ting money ho just aa thoroughly believed
In spending Itfor enjoyment. It was alto
denied that there .was anything hypocritical
In ) IP ! character. The notion tint there was
had sprung up. from his , religion , from "thq
dim religious light wjilch pervaded It and
the elaborate ritual , " The lecturer con
tended that on the contrary , he was essen
tially frank. "In America people bow at
the foot of that tyrant , public opinion. In
England an Individual dares fly In the face
of It. Tills Is freedom of speech , " said Mr.
MacLean.
John Dull was nothing If ho waa not pa
triotic. Piety came first , then patriotism.
The flag waved from every church uteeple
and from this the speaker drew a moral.
Ho hoped that every church In this land
would follow the example of the First Pres
byterian church of New York , which hoisted
a flag on Its steeple every Sunday ,
Finally the speaker dwelt upon the great
part that the conscience took. Jn Jlio char
acter of John Dull. He said tint It was all
but worshiped and ( hat It had become the
ruling element In politics. It had become
so concrete that It was almost bartered In
elections , Ho stated that to refute thU
enemies of John Dull would mention tils
shameful record of diplomacy. He admitted
that when the EnclUhman sinned he elnndl
brutally and like a beast. Out he claimed
that the conscience of John Dull came In
to cavn the record from belnc worse than It
really was. As an example of the part It
played ho referred to the recent movement
toward the assistance of the Armenians.

THE STAR OF HOPE.
"I had lost all
I hope and gone to
| my father's to die , "
I said Mrs. Moi.ir.
[ EVANS , of Mound ,
I Coryell Co. , Texas.
"I gave birth to a
[ baby a year ago , the
J5th of Itine last , "
13be adds , "and
[ seemed to do very
well for 8 or 9 days ,
and then I began to
feel very bad , tnv
feet began to swell.
[ my stomach was all
wrong-and I seemed
| to suffer with every
thing that could be
I borne. I was in bed
15 months and there
| was not a day that it
I seemed I could live.
IWe had the best
doctors that out
' country afforded. I
1was a skeleton.
Every one that saw
I me thought that I
[ would never get
' well. I had palpita
tion and pain in the licart , terrible -pain in
niy light side just under the ribs , terrible
lieaduchca all the time ; n bearing down
sensation ; a distressed feeling in my stomach
ach all the time ; could hardly cat anything-
and it looked as if I would starve. All the
time I would take such weak trembling
spells , and it seemed at if I coi Id not stand
It. There were' six doctors treating me
when I commenced taking your medicine.
I had lost all hope and gone to my father's
to die , I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's '
Golden Medical Discovery and bis 'Fa
vorite Prescription * together , and I took
them regularly until I felt as if life was
worth living again. "
"I weigh more than I have weighed for
ten years. My friends say that I look better
than they ever saw me. Tlie first two bottles
tles did me more good than all the nicdicine
I bad taken. My stomach lias never hurt
me since. I can eat anything I want and aa
much as I wanf. If you want to use this in
favor of your medicine , I am a living wit
ness to testify to it , and will , to anybody
who watita to know further of jny case. "
