Adams. Mr. Charles F. Morey was present
and occupied u ea: In the Jury box n few
feet distant from where Miss Jlorlockcr was
seated. As soon as Judge Adams had finished
rending tho application filed for a continu
ance of tho caso ho decided tho continuance
overruled.
Attorney Stevens for tho defendant arose
nnd snld they wished to withdraw the plea
or "not guilty" which was made ut the last
term of court. This was granted. Attorney ! own and head brnkeman, who were all In
Itagon attempted to make tho point that the ' Jured. narrowly csraped deith by drowning.
Indictment was wrong, ns It charged' Vl-la ' Brakotiinn Downard Is lying In a precarious
llorlocker with administering poison io I comlUIon aa a. result of his injuries.
Mrs. Morey nnd said poison was nrscnlc, and
he claimed urscnlc n drug nnd said it was
not proven that Miss Horlockcr had admln
Istoied anything to Mrs. Morey and there
fore, the indictment was wrong.
Stato's Attorney McCreary then cited cns?s
showing up tho reverse sldo of what Hagan
showed upon poisoning cases. He said when
ho alleged the accused administered poison
that that was tho form in which the statute
put it nnd was sufficient.
K. A.'tln'tty replied to McCreary's state
ment nnd said that arsenic wns n pclson
Jnly when administered as such and the
plaintiff would have to prove that It was
administered with Intent to kill. lie argued
that the county attorney hao made an ertor
In the Indictment. This motion was over
ruled. Tho clerk wns then Instructed to
call the Jury In.
While tho clerk was calling the Jury,
Viola llorlorkcr left the court room with
her nttorncy, J. M. Itngan. nnd went to tho
district clerk's office, but returned before
the Jury wns sworn In. Attorney Stevens
rhnrged that the Hoard of Supervisors vio
lated tho law by selecting tho Jurors from
pertain supervisor districts without taking
ibfm from all parts of tho county.
Ho said a pemm chnrged with n erlmo
hns tho right to have tho Jurors selected
from nil corncra of tho county. Attorney
(McCreary denied nny Irregularity In tho
drnwlng of the Jury. However, it wns dis
covered thnt there were slxty-ono nnmrs
on tho Jury list where there should havo
been but sixty. A recess of ten minutes
wns taken to permit the county attorney
to lllo such papers ns would straighten out
tho record In regard to how tho county
board has corrected the error and filed a
list of slxtv names for Jurors. The discus
sion on this took up n largo part of the
afternoon. The challenge of tho Jury list
by the defendant was overruled.

Miss Vloln Horlockcr was then told lo
nilsc whllo tho state's attorney, McCreary.
rend the charges against her. She stood
erect with head and eyes drooping and wns
perfectly calm. When asked If sho wcro
guilty or not guilty sho replied in a firm
voice: "Not utility. "

throbs with every tap. And

More than nny
other class of
women the large
anny of women
clerks needs to
closely watch the health of the organs
peculiarly womanly. For the general
health will lie disturbed just in propor
tion ns the local health of the delicate,
womanly organs is disordered. With
irregularities there will come pains in the
head, the back or side, nausea nnd gen
eral misery. The happiness of the future
life of the wife nnd mother may be en
tirely ruined by neglect of the health at
this critical period.
Women confined in offices, shut out
from necessary exercise will find n faith
ful friend in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It so regulates the womanly
functions nnd so strengthens the delicate
organs that pain from these causes will
Ix: nlisolutely done away with and future
licaltn oe pertectly assured.
There is no opium, cocaine
or oiuer narcotic in
" Favorite Prescrip
tion." Neither docs

prolonged and the louof blood very excessive, I
nlao had iell which the doctor said were fa lift

on but they left me very weak, My stomach
would cramp until I could not straighten. This
would last lor several hours. I did not gain
atrength from one monthly period to another;
was very weak and nervous oil the time, I was
advised by n kind friend to try Dr. Tierce's lra

took in oil six bottles of the I'd vorite Trescrllv

had a return of this trouble since, and never
can praise I)r Pierce's rocdlcinea csiougb, for I
luow they saved my life."
Jury and Iho Jurymen took their place
Ml Horlockcr seemed to take a great deal
of Interctt In tho men who entered the
box nnd It was at this tlmo that both Viola
and her ulster removed their veils nnd left
them off throughout the entire afternoon.
While Attorney Stevens was questioning
the qualifications of tho Jurors ho let Klip
a point which strengthens the general be
lief that the defendant's attorneys will
make ubo of tho insanity dodge.
Court udjourned at C:30 until !) o'clock
tomorrow morning when the matter of se
lecting a Jury will bo continued. It Is
thought that tbc Jury will bo secured by
noon tomorrow and the first witness will
go on tho xtnnd In tbo afternoon.
District Judge Adams nnj that the case
will be pushed through as taut as pos
sible and that no iinnecemary delays will
bo made. The court room was well filled
throughout tho day, but no women besides
the accused and her sister were present.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS, i

Tho proposition of the South Omaha Com
mercial dub to the city counAll In relation
to tho sale or leaso of tho portion of J street,
between Commercial street and the right-of-
way of tho Union Pacific tracks, has brought
up tho old question of the vacation of stub
end of streets in tho north part of the city
for the benefit of tho Union Pacific Railroad
company. It Is understood that the Union
Pacific Is rendy and willing to commenco
grading on five blocks In the north part of
tho city and that three steam graders havo
been repaired at the Union Pacific shops
with a view to sending them to this work.
Tho Summit, between Omaha and South
Omaha, Is to bo cut nway this summer as
well ns n portion of tho Innd between Com
mercial street and the Union Pacific right-
of-way. Tbo diffidence of the council und
a protest from Sarah Dennett and others
havo stopped proceedings. Now that the
Commercial club has proposed that the stub
end of J street be either sold or leased to n
factory the way Is left open for negotiations
for tho stub ends of the streets north which
are desired by the Unlcn Pacific. It has
been suggested that the railroad company
will bo pleased to pay a certain sum to tho
city for tho land desired vacated, the prlco
being fixed at $7,500. In other words, It Is
reported that tho railroad company will pay
to tho city the price of adjoining lots for tho
possession of tho portion cf lots which it do
sires vacated.
Tho payment of over $7,000 Into tbc city
treasury at a specified tlmo, provided It Is
mado beforo tho annual levy Is, will
make a reduction of 10 per cent In tho levy.
It is nrguged that If the city can leaso or
sell tho J street stub end It can either lease
or sell tho stub ends of streets In tho north
ern portion of the city. The Idea seems to
bo to secure porno revenue to the city for tho
privilege granted.

Dr. Sanden's Electric Beit
ON 30 DAYS' TRIAL
For thirty years I have been
the confidential adviser of thou
ands of sufierers in all parts of the
world. I have devoted my life to
the careful study of Nervous De
bility and weaknesses of men and
women, from whatever cause. I
have made a life study of electro
therapeutic appliances and have
restored over a hundred thou
sand men and women to physical
strength and vigor with my world
renowned Dr, SANDEN ELECTRIC BELT
The use of Galvanic Electricity,
Electric Suspensory for Men; with all Belts.
Why should suffering ones hesitate to try this cure by natural means ? a cure based on nature's laws. Of
course there are thousands who are as yet unacquainted with the value of my great discovery, and to these I
say I have decided for a time to allow my latest and most improved 1900 Model Helt to be taken on
THIRTY DAYS' TRIAL.
From this offer It is apparent that I am sincere In what I itale, I will cure where drucs have failed,
and It is my knowledge of this fact that warrants me in offering you my Helt on 30 Days' 1 rial. " It cures
while you sleep, ind you pay when cured." Worn at night, it sends a pleasant, soothinc current which you
feel through the entire weakened organs, the suspensory attachment to the belt resting directly over the
prostate gland. Write for my little book, mailed free, or call.

within a few hours. It Is not believed that
ho hns left tho elty, but thero was nobody
who rould present an acceptable excuse for
the defendant's absence. Ills bond wns
signed by Ixmis Kroytcschy. It Is said that
he Is amply good for tho amount, having
made the required foal cstato qualification
at the tlmo ho heroine urety for Coolcy.
Mr. Kroytcschy was not In court when tho
for'elturo was declared. '
For several years Cooloy wns cashier for
tho Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
railroad In this elty. About a year ago he
was charged by his employers with a short
nge. llo left the city nnd there wns n some
what exciting chase to capture him. He
wan found at Red Oak. la. The late Martin
White, chief of police, directed tho clever
work which resulted In tho apprehension of
Cooley. Soon nfter his arrest he mnde an
attempt to end his life by severing nrterles
with n piece of glass. His effort was de
tected beforo fatal Injury had been Indicted.
Prior to tho accusation made by the rnll
road company Cooley had borne a good repu
tation, and ho had no dlfilculty In giving
bond. It Is nllegcd that his peculation cov
ered small sums taken from time to tlmo
during a lengthy period and that tho aggre
gate was $2,500.
Judgo Haker held his court room open un
til 5 o'clock for Cosley's appearance, but he
came not. At 3 o'clock the sheriff announced
to tho county attorney that ho had a tracu
of tho fugitive and that he expected he would
be In curtody within half an hour. This ex
pectation did not materialize, however, yet It
Is still believed that Ccoley Is secreted some
whero In Omaha. Tho police department Is
working In conjunction with the sheriff In
the search. From a reliable source It was
learned that Cooley was seen In this city
nt noon yesterday. Much surprise Is caused
by his failure to appenr for trial, even thca
who aro opposed to him never suspecting
that ho would tako such desperate chance)
to evade trial.

Judgo Haxter of tho district bench spent
the forenoon In railing criminal cases that
had been appealed from pollco court. Only
misdemeanor offenses were Involved. In
several Instances the defendants failed to
appear and bonds wero declnred forfeited,
I For a long while this has been a favorite
I method of evading the law. A defendant
lln Pce court is convicted, appeals to tho
district court nnd then falls to appear, thus
escanlne chances of his sentence helne nr.

Among the forfeitures announced by Judgo
Haxter were J. F. Dodd and George Smith,
, charged with fighting: John Gillespie,
j charged with stealing n bushel of coal from
the Hurllngton railroad; Joseph Dunn,
charged with disturbing tho peace; Chris
Dorlng, chnrged with assault and battery.
Tho bond In each case was $100.
District Clork nroadwell recently made a
ruling that his office will not heroafter file
pollco court appeal documents except tho
fees aro paid In ndvancc. It was formerly
tho custom to accept bond for fees and this
resulted In loss to the clerk.
Out of the list of appeal cases called by
Judge Haxter yesterday only ono defend
ant responded. He was Antone Hemmlsh.
charged with assaulting his daughter, Tenle,
employed In a prominent retail store. This
trial began at 2 o'clock In tho afternoon. It
Is alleged that the father went beyond tho
limit of humanity In chastising his daughter.

wan not
thnt he would do so within a day or two.
As prevloiihly reported In Tho Rcc tho
ground upon which n new trial was sought
was that the foreman of tho convicting Jury1
had exerted undue Influence over the other'
members. This charge was entered Into at j
length and tho substance of tho evidence. 1
was that a verdict was tendered agalnat
Shannahan on the promise that tho Jurors
who opposed him would Immediately sign a ,
S. Clark St., Chicago, III.
petition nnd use their Influence to secure J
h's pardon. Jurors who favored acquit ul
could not see the logic In such n roundabout
method of clearing n defendant, and the,
story of tho Jury's deliberation was com
municated to Shnnnnhnn's lawyers. j

Croutno has fancied herself free from tho
matrimonial yoke and, according to her

the Judgo said he would grant the divorce,

This suit grows out of the fact that Mr.
