CHILD'S CONFESSION IS THROWN OUT Ittirko Decline * < o Ailnilt tlic Slorj- mill ( lie FntliLT Html ! } ' Show * HIM Innocence nt tlic Crime. The prosecution of John Wesley Dungan nnd his two sons , aged 8 and ID years , on the charge of being Implicated In the Fair- mount park burglary , came to a suddcu termination yesterday. All were arraigned In Justice Ilurko's court and all but the 8-year-old boy pleaded not guilty to the charge , . I'ollco ofllccrs and others gave testimony tending to connect the two elder Dungans with the crime , and repeated the confession made by the little boy. The chili was put on the stand by the defense and told a rather sensational story of the means used to extort his confession. Ho declared that "tho sheriff" took him Into a .llttlo room by himself nnd told him unless ho told all about his father's connection with the trlmo ho would "cut off his header or send him to the reform school. " Chief of Police Canning nnd other otllcers who wcro present when the boy told his story contradicted this evidence. The court ruled that the evidence contained In the child's confession of his father's guilt could not be admitted under the rules of Iowa practice or the statutes of the state , and ho ex cluded all of It. Dungan then showed that at the tlmo his boy had said ho was en gaged In stealing the park property he was really eight miles In the country husking corn on the Johnson farm. Upon this evi dence the court discharged Dungan and his older boy , and Assistant County Attorney Smith dismissed the case against the little boy. I.lKltt fiutii-clM1 Inspection. The Dodge Light Guards arc highly pleased with the results ot their Inspection by Colonel Albert W. Swalm , commander of the Third regiment ot the Iowa National Guard , who came nut from Oskaloosa on Monday night for the purpose of making the Inspection. The members were advlsjd sev eral months ago that the Inspection would bo held this winter , and they were also Informed that only one day'i ) notice was tb bo given thorn. The notification came Satur day night and the young men had thu ad vantage of being able to mingle military tactics with their regular Uabbith devotions. When Colonel Swalm arrived nt the armory Monday night ho was saluted by a manly crowd of , young soldiers , whoso fine appear ance and military bearing created the most favorable Impression. Colonel Swalm Is In specting all of the- companies of his regi ment for the purpose of ascertaining their condition before the next regular state In spection which occurs Eomo tlmo In March. The Light. Guards make the tenth company Colonel Swalm has so far Inspected , and he frankly admitted to the young men at the conclusion of the Inspectloa that their com pany ranked first. This compliment is keenly uppi eclated for the reason that lasi fall the edict had practically gone forth from the adjutant general's office In Des Molnes that the commission of the company was to be taken away and given to another ambitious company that had been oiganlzed at Wintersot. Under Captain Pryor and Lieutenant Moore the company went through many evolutions lutions with a precision and regularity that reflects great credit on these two young officers. Tliero were present several well known business men and all Joined In an expression of satisfaction at the good showIng - Ing "our boys" made. Colonel Swalm gave the boys a good soldierly talk and among other things told the.-n that un armory was the first consideration now ; that the com pany was In such flno shape that the citi zens of Council muffs really owed It to themselves to como forward and help them get one. Ho promised them a grand campIng - Ing out this coming autumn with a tasld of real soldier life. Ho told them that some of the honor or a grand old soldier came to them In their popular name of Dodge Light Guards , and that they must keep tliat honor bright for his sake as well as their own. I'ulillc Mlirnry AiTiilrx. At the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the public library hold yesterday afternoon , the condition of the library Wiis shown to bo excellent. President 0. C. Bloomer prealded and Trustees Heed , Atkins , Tostevln , Hohrer , Hewitt and Troutman were present. The report of the librarian showed the average attendance of visitors aud the number of book takers to bo larger than for the corresponding tlmo last year. The report Indicated that there had been ex cellent supervision of the books and that the losses by careless handling or neglect to return had been reduced to a minimum , The report also showed that a greater num ber of adult citizens were taking advantage of the opportunities afforded to obtain the use of high class literature without charge. The regular monthly bills were audited and allowed , and the librarian's report was placed on flic. Some time ago two pictures pa nted by L. A. Simons , ono of the old citizens and an artist of considerable merit , were pre sented to the association. They show Coun cil Bluffs In 1847 and In 1849 , and are pro nounced to 'bo ' excellent works of art by the critics , and to bo faithful representa tions of the old Mormon town by citizens who wcro hero when Simons , then a very young man , sketched them. The pictures have been hanging on the walls of the public library without frames and yesterday the dli odors ordered them to bo framed In a substantial manner and given a more con spicuous place on the walls. After Eomo discussion the board adopted a resolution changing the hour of the regu lar monthly meeting from \ o'clock to 7:30 : p. m.

Tliero are all kinds of outllts living there temporarily , Including bands of gypsies housed In tents , wickiups and covered wagons , and Itinerant peddlers of all descilptlons. Information had been conveyed to the police that a band of professional chicken thtovos were making the park their headquarters there , and these complaints were the cause of the Inquiries , Three distinct outfits of Itinerant chicken merchants were encountered , but the most careful Inspection failed to show that they had any property In their possession that they could not account for. The officom de scribe the park as somewhat resembling the early days of Chicago's Midway. Alniost every tongue heard on the plalsance , Inciud- Ing the original American InJIan's , can be heard among the park's temporary denizens.

The case has been hanging fire In the courts fern n long time and Involves a number of fine law points. For this reason the attorneys came to on agreement to waive Jury trial and try the case before the court. A portion of the day was consumed In hearing the testimony in the case of Jacob Wlcland agalifst Peter Ehlcrs. The case Involves a mixed grain deal. A Jury Is hearing the evidence. The criminal calendar was reached during the day , and Van Ross , the Boston store calico thief , was arraigned and pleaded not guilty.

He was not ready for trial and asked for a continuance , Ho put up n .satisfactory bond and the casu was set for hearing on the 12th Inst. The officer returned to the Island last evening In the hope of being able to Induce Nelson to consent to come within the jurisdiction ol the Iowa law without the formality of an appeal to the Nebraska authorities and a. re quisition. Danner claims that they will be able to show that Bondo was crazy drunk at the time of the alleged assault and that no real offense was given him. Oily IIoiiKli on 11 .Ileiiiler. Celly Hough , who has made a brave strug gle to keep straight and succeeded for nearly a year , came to town yesterday and Imme diately fell Into bad company around the saloons. He was unusually good natured and confined himself to playfully picking rockets of various people around the Man hattan and opera house saloons , and se curing a stock of handkerchiefs. A hand kerchief was tfiken from the pocket of n man named Kelley , living on North Twen tieth street , and he complained to the police. Celly was taken Into cuatodv and locked up. Kelley recovered his handkerchief at the police station and refused to lodge any charge against Celly. The police have five hand- , kerchlefs which they believe Celly secured 'in this way. There was no disposition to prosecute Hough by the police or the people who lost thu handkerchiefs , for they be- Ilevo Hough merely took them ns a Joke , and the plain old charge of dutnk and dis turbing the peace was lodged against him.

CHEAT DESTITUTION IN INDIA. 1'cnitlc In Some .SoctloiiH IteNeinlilu Anlninteil SIci-lefniiH. ( Copyright , 1S97 , by the Associated Press. ) JUBBULPOR , Fcb. G. On his way to this city the special representative of the Asso ciated press who Is examining Into the famine situation In India visited the poor houses of Bylaspur and Katnt. The ln- inatcs were found to bo lu a deplorable condition. The buildings were overcrowded and medical attendance was lacking. A man outside ot them was. dead and another was dying. A girl of G yeard of age weighed only ten pounds and bcveral adults wcic under fifty-six pounds In weight. The skin In all cases was drawn over the face , showIng - Ing the outline of the skulls , and the limbs and joints had the appearance of these of articulated skeletons. There Is an Immense migration to the Assan tea gardens , l.COO persons going there weekly , deserting their wives and families. This place Is the worst of any part of central India. It Is estimated that the present famine Is the greatest of the cen tury and will greatly surpass that of 1S76 , both In area and severity. The famine belt extends to Rawalpindi and Bcllarl and Is 1,300 miles long and 400 miles wide. This Is opart from .the scattered districts. In all the rice districts there Is no chance of a food supply until September. The gov ernment will be forced to support nearly all the population for six months and many of them for eight months. Whole villages are deserted. The government's policy at first rather Ignored the famine. It Is now , however , alive to the famine and strenuous efforts are made to allay distress. But It will have to recover lost tlmo and awing to the scarcity of the previous three years the pcoplo will easily succumb. Out of the 750,000 Inhabitants of Jubbulpor about 120- 009 are now receiving relief. By the month of May this number will bo doubled. The correspondent has Just heard that the Cural poor houses In the \\cstern part of the dis trict have been burned. Twenty-five per sons pcrhhed.

It ' .will bo held at the Savcry , and will bo one ot the swellest official functions ever given In the city. The special Interest is duo to Vnc fact that the relations of the governor and his daughter have not been well understood Blnco the elopement and romantic marrlago of the young woman. Miss Drake , the gov ernor's youngest and favorite daughter , and George Sturdcvant of CiSntcrvlllo had been lovers from childhood , and Governor Drake opposed their attach ment , They took matters Into their own hands nnd were secretly mar ried in Denver In October. When the gov ernor was Informed he was surprised and much disappointed , and did not make- the marriage public for nearly two weeks. Since then there have been various misunderstand ings of the relations of the governor and his daughter and son-in-law. Stories have been widely circulated that the governor sent the young couple away from him and told them never to present them selves to htm again ; and that the couple haughtily took him at hla word and went their own way. All ot which did not hap pen. But the stories cftifsod great Interest and much gossip , and the first public an nouncement of the complete reconciliation of nil parties comes In the announcement that ' .Mrs. Sturdevant will assist her father In the coming reception. It Is cxpcctnd on this account to be a'grcat affair In point of attendance. MOItU INVESTIGATIONS IN IOWA. iN Clim'KfN Hi'liiK Millie t the1 Ci'iiHiix Soniulnl. DBS MOINES. Feb. 9.

Plans for the transportation of the presidential party and other Inaugural cere monies were discussed In detail. General Porter stated that everything In connection with the matter was progressing finely ; that the guaranty fund had all been pledged and the occasion promised to com pare favorably 'f not surpass everything of Its kind previously taking place. General Porter declined to discuss the question as to whether or not ho would likely bo a member of Major McKlnley's cabinet. A gentleman who stands high In the counsels of the leaders of the party sold today he would not bo surprised to see General Porter ter finally chosen for the Naval portfolio , because of his non-affiliation with cither faction In New York. The general will go to Canton from Cleveland , perhaps this evening , or ho may conclude to stay over here until tomorrow morning as the guest of Mr. Hanna. Gen eral Porter said ho would go to Canton simply to discuss certain matters In regard to the Inaugural with the president-elect and Insofar ns he now know , no reference \\oulil be made to cabinet matters. It Is understood that Chairman Hanna will go to Canton to confer with Major McKlnley , probably tomorrow or the day following. CLEVELAND , O. , Fob. 9.

How many pounds make a ton ? 2,000 pounds , You would not take J 800 , or J 700 , or J 600 pounds for a ton if you knew it , would you ? Of course not well , then Look at this object lesson taking eight pages ( the average daily is" sue ) of four newspapers , as a basis : The Omaha Bee Columns are 21 7-8 in. long. World Herald Columns are 21 3-8 In , long1 , Lincoln Journal Columns are 21 1-8 in. long. Sioux City Journal Columns are 19 5-8 in. long. Each line of The Bee is J3k ems wide. Each line of the others only J3 ems wide. This short weight doesn't seem much , but in each 8-page paper we have this result The Omaha Bee prints 292,010 cms or 697 inches , World Herald prints 272,016 ems or 622 inches. Lincoln Journal prints 269,624 ems or 616 inches. Sioux City Journal prints 250,572 ems or 572 inches. Don't you see THE BEE gives you 75 inches more space , or 3i colums , nearly one-half a page more than the World Herald ; 8J inches , nearly 4 columns , more than the Lincoln Journal ; 125 inches , or about 6 columns , more than the Sioux City Journal ? In one week this amounts to more than four pages of the World Herald , and with The Bee's Saturday supplement , eight pages or a whole paper. That's equivalent to eight Bees to seven World Heralds each week , or nine pages more than the Lincoln Journal , or eleven and one-half more than the Sioux City Journal each week. This is only the quantity of the news we'll have lessons on quality later. DO YOJ ( READ THE OMAHA BEE ?
