The fact being generously advertised that
Council llluffs business houses aie an easy
mark for burglars brought come expert safe
cracksmen to town , and It was discovered
yesterday that they bad done a profitable
Job.
Job.When"
When" Manager J. D. Patterson of the Keystone -
stone Manufacturing company entered the
onice of the big Implement warehouse In
the lower end of the agricultural Implement
district he discovered that the place had
been visited by burglars. He was among
the last in en In the office on the previous
evening and when ho left he turned the
combination of the office safe , Inclosing many
valuable papers and nearly $200 In cash.
When ho entered the office the papers were
scattered In promiscuous confusion about
the room and the safe was wide open. The
cash drawer In the safe had been broken
open and the money It contained taken.
As nearly as could be determined the amount
was J1SO.
An examination showed the burglars had
entered the building by prying open a rear
window In the warehouse and forcing an
Inside door to the office. An examination
showed that the afe had been opened by
using the combination. As there could not
bo one chance In a million of the combina
tion being worked by chance the theory
that It was the work of expert safe men Is
the only one' entertained by the police or
Manager Patterson. The safe Is protected
by a four-tumbler lock and only a fine ex
pert could open It without knowing the com
bination.
Manager Patterson concluded at first to
say nothing about the robbery , but to bear
his loss In silence. If not sorrow , but during
the afternoon when he discovered that the
reporters had learned the story he confided
to the police. There was no clew obtainable.
A largo amount of machine notes asid deal
ers' paper . .were carefully examined , but the
burglars realized that It would be dangerous
work attctnptlng to dispose of them and they
dropped them on the floor. Some of them
stuck to their fingers until they reached the
ofllco door.
There tvas a rumor that another office safe
In the agricultural Implement district was
opened In the eame manner , but If It had
any foundation the victims guarded the
secret tnost successfully.

Children of Hint limtltiitloii I lender n
I'rourriini At'ceplnlily.
The children of the Christian Home gave
a very pretty llttlo entertainment last even
Ing In the beautiful little chapel. It was
a sort of Informal effort on the part of a
number of the bright little people to show
their friends and the friends of the homo
what they were capable of doing In the way
of entertaining their elders. The program
and the training of the children were almost
wholly the work of Mrs. C. A. Atkins , the
teacher. She was assisted by Mrs. S. S.
Faca nnd Mrs. W. H. Lynehard. The pro
gram consisted of songs , tableaux and reci
tations. A quartet , consisting of Messrs.
Thomas Montfort and Arthur Wilson and
Misses Emily Anderson and Mamie Wilson ,
furnished several snost delightful numbers
on the program. The parts taken by the
children were full of Interest and pathos.
A largo number of scats arranged in am
phitheater form filled the back end of the
chapel and half a hundred of the brightest
boys and girls of the home occupied these
seats and Joined with the heartiest good will
In the songs and choruses. The songs were
all slmplo and full of melody and the little
ones poured forth their happy souls with
a Joyousness that was Infectious. A solo
by a llttlo colored boy , "My Old Kentucky
Home , " with variations and banjo and
chorus accompaniment , would have called
for an encore anywhere. The solo singing
of Miss Anderson , the nightingale of the
home , was a very pleasing feature. It was
Intended that the program should last an
hour , but the frequent determined encores
continued It until more than two hours had
elapsed.
At the conclusion of the program a bevy
of llttlo girls came upon the platform bear
ing a handsome quilt which they had wrought
and presented It to Mr. and Mrs. Lemen ,
reciting In concert a llttlo presentation
speech la which they breathed the senti
ment that the work of their llttlo hands
might help to keep the manager and matron
warm as a feeble return for their care In
providing home- and shelter for the chil
dren. Each child then told how she had
earned the money used In the purchase of
the material. Manager Lemcn made a fit
ting response.
Another Interesting event occurred when
a girl and boy casne forward and presented
Manager Lemon with two children's banks ,
which contained a penny from each child
in the home , which had been earned In
somu manner.
The children taking part In the evening's
exercises were : Lola Klzce , Maud ana

DUBUQUE , la. . Nov. 25. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Bonacum case was oubmlttet
to the snetropolltan court today. Court
opened at 9 o'clock. Father Baart , the dele
gated Judge , ruled that the defendants were
entitled to tbo opening arguments. Each
submitted a written argument , to which
Father Slaltery , the prosecutor replied tat
length and they rejoined verbally. Upon the
conclusion of the argument this evening
Father Baart notified all parties to be
present next Tuesday , when sentence wll
bo pronounced. He remarked that the case
Is the first which has come , before a metro
politan court In this country and was
destined to be celebrated as a precedent. The
Issues of the case are the validity of tht
sentence for contempt and the action of
Bishop Honacum In withdrawing the facul
ties of the defendants. The prosecution has
practically conceded the Irregularity of tht
sentence for contempt and the defendants
right of appeal from that sentence. This
leaves the question of whether the with
drawal of faculties was regular and the
further question of whether It wcs void because -
cause It was a cruel and un
usual punishment for the trivial
offenses charged. There Is reason to
bellevo that the court will pronounce for
the defense , though the defendants may re
ceive some admonition or slight rebuke for
utterance rcade In the heat of controversy.
Fathers Fitzgerald and Murphy left for

pi Icing how mnny people voted In Ignoranc
of the prohibition amendment. Many of th
most prominent prohibition workers awok
today to find that they voted , the question
wrong ylmply through a mlsunderstandln
of the wording. It Is estimated that full
30,000 votes were not caet at nil on th
qucctlon because of Ignorance. Three way
will bo tried by the prohibition "leaders t

Is to unite the Mitchell and Chamberlain
cdlces at Chamberlain , the Huron and Pierre
offices at Pierre , and the Aberdeen and Wa-
tertown ofllces at Watertown. Land business
is rapidly decreasing and the work could
easily be done by three ofllces. The clerical
'orce Is also likely to be diminished one-half.

LONDON. Nov. 25. The trial of l.ady
Scllna Scott , mother of Countcu Uuscll.
John Cockcrton , an engineer ; Frederick
Kast , a groom , and William Aylott , a valet ,
charged with criminal libel by Earl llussell ,
con-ln-law of Lady Scott , wax continued be
fore Justice Hawkins at tbc central criminal
court , otherwise the "Old Dallcy , " toJay.
Karl llussell was again on the stand. Con
tinuing his tcs mony he said that at Christ
mas , 1S92 , he received a card saying : "God
grant that next Christmas all will be for
gotten and that you will bo with the people
who love you. "
Witness later received a letter written by
Lady Scott , and addrcsccd to n private
detective named Ulcknan , containing the
following words : "Any one who provcs'any-
thlng will not only get my thanks , but
enough to start In life , for , although we
have enough evidence to hang an ordlnar )
man , It Is not quite suHlclcnt for our
purpose. "
The carl on cross-examination admitted 111 :
former affection for Lady Scott , and salt
that on the Sunday previous to his marriage
ho wrote to her as follows :
"Parting with you seems harder to bear
as It gets nearer. I don't see why you arc
not coming to the ntatlon. I want to give
you a last hug , my darling , my angel
Bother ! 1 am beginning to cry. "
The earl said this was simply an expres
sion at the tlmo of his reeling for the
tnothcr of the lady he was about to marry.
Replying to further questions , witness
said that he presented Lady Scott tu 1SS !
with Thomas A. Kcmpls' "Imitation o
Christ , " because he thought It would be
useful to her , and as she often told him
that she would like It. It was Inscribed on
the fly leaf :
"To sny dear Bo. the truest woman ani
most faithful friend I have ever known
from her loving Frank. "
This language , the carl added , was sin
cere then , but was somewhat exaggerated
Continuing , Karl llussell testified that
when his wlfo first left him In 1S90 he loved
her and wished her to return , and In a
letter to Lady Scott at that time ho alludet !
to the countess as follows :
"She has not been actually disagreeable
but of course the stony-hearted , pclf-rlghtc-
ous saint lias not shown an atom of kind
ness or softness , and It will be a relief to get
rid of sny curse for a few days. "
In a subsequent letter to Lady Scott the
earl described his wlfo as a "hard-hearted
fiend , " and while the countess was gene on
a three months' visit to Karl Kussell's
mother the witness wrote to Lady Scott ami
asked her to come and stay with him during
his wife's absence. He said : "If you fall
to accept this concession I shall know you
love mo no more than that false woman
does. "
This characterization applied to the
countess. This letter also read : "God
bless you , my dear one. God keep you safe
always. Oh. dearest. 1 can't write any
more. I cannot see the paper. Good night ,
my darling. "
In another letter , two days prior to bis
marriage , the carl wrote to Lady Scott :
"Oh. darling , will you forgive me ? I was
very naughty to you , you true-hearted angel.
I go to bed at 3 and have a splitting head
ache. Come soon , my lovely one. Ever
your lovlnc Frank. "
Karl Russell Is about 30 years of age and
Is the son of the famous Lord John Russell ,
who was premier and first lord of the treas
ury of Great Britain from 184G to 1S52 and
from 1SC5 to 1SGC , and who for about fifty
years represented the whig policy In and
out of Parliament.
After the reading of these letters a dis
cussion ensued relative to tie ) admission of
further similar evldenc ? . and Justice Haw
kins said : "I have nothing to do with the
relations between Lady Scott and Lord Rus
sell. "
'After a reference to the Incidents of Earl
Russell's past life , which brought out the
original separation case , Including the fact
that ho was expelled from Oxford , the hear
ing of the case was again adjourned.

The complainant In thla suit alleged an Iti-
'rlngcmcnt on patents owned by them on
machines and apparatus for making photo

octurcs cameras , and a victory for the com-
mny In this capo would have established a

[ udge Townsend ordera that n decree be
entered dlsmlmlnj ; the complaint.
In his decision Judge Towntcnd vigorously
scores the attorneys for attempting to clog
ho judicial machinery of a United States
ourt with a superfluity of testimony and
exhibits' ' . The Judge rays : "Several weeks
vero consumed In examining the briefs , testi
mony and exhibit ? . More than 4.000 pages
of printed matter devoted to this caw more
orclbly Illustrates the practice which now
prevails In patent cases of ctufllng the
ccords with prolix cross examination nnd
rrclevant testimony. " The exhibits shown
vould almost fill a freight car and the tcrtl-
nony filled some three or four volumes of
ho elze of a dictionary. In dUcussIng the
omplalnt the court finds that patents on
he proccso had already been numerously
granted.

dence to down Major Shockley , " the Homo
