It entered tho fertile mind of tho old man
that It 'would bo a good joko on tho bar
keeper of a certain saloon to pass a number
of counterfeit dlmea upon him, and then
havo a laugh when tho nature of the coin
was divulged. Kreitlo mado a mould and
from it manufactured twenty dlmte. For
twenty evenings ho went to tho saloon nnd
bought b&er, tho bartender taking tho spuri
ous coin. On tho twcnty-ilrat nvoulng, with
u parly, ho wont to tho saloon to havo hh
laugh, when tho bartender called him to one
side and told him that ho had discovered tho
ftpurlous coin and that for tlUO ho would do
btroy them and keep the old man from
prison.
The Joko was Hgatnnt him, but Kroltlo
laughdl and refused to coma down with the

TO
DISMISS.
Trial of S. .1. Ccrney for rlnilnnl An.
(intill :o- In I'roKri'na.
The caso of S. J. Ccrncy, charged with
criminal nnoault upon Katie Vavra, a 3-year-olrt
daughter of Frank Vavra, a South Omaha
boardlilff house keeper. Is attracting more
than ordinary attention In Judge Uaker's
court, owing to tho Intense feeling that
cxIsIh against f'erney on the part of friends
of the Vavra family.
Cernoy's lawyer made an effort yestpr
day to bring tho caso o an abrupt termina
tion by the introduction of a motion to dis
miss on tho grounds that Information ngalost
tho defendant was not filed at the same term
of court In which ho was required to ap
pear for trial. It was argued that this con-
I stltuted sufficient cause for dismltoal and
authorltlrn wer read at length. Judge
llaker, however, promptly overruled, and
tho testimony was taken up.
Frank Vavra, father of tho Injured child,
I was thft principal witness of the afternoon,
j Ho related In detail the story of tho rrlmo
which Is alleged to havo occurred April 0,
At ono time Cerney was apparently In
danger of mob violence und In order to
protect his life Sheriff Power hurried him
to Lincoln, where ho was kept In Jail until
excitement bubalded somewhat.
Llttlo Katie Vavra Is In court, but her
tender ago prevents her giving testimony,
despite tho fact that sbo Is exceptionally
j nngnt and can talk fairly plain, Tho trial
I will probably last several days, a there
'are numerous witnesses.

Tho suit on Fred Kelly's bond in tho
United Statrs circuit court Is still In
progress the defense now Introducing evi
dence to show that the guaranty company
should not bo held for his defalcations.
The Chief WltnCSS wax Insnonlnr f.r.AA.
of tho guaranty company, who testified,
irom an inspection or tno books of the In
surance company, that Kelly began to over
draw his account as early, at leust, as
March, 1807. at which time ho owed the
company $108.53 on that nccount; that this
condition continued until the time of
Kelly's dlocharge, the amounts Increasing
with each monthly balance until April 2,
1808, when the cashier owed 1!S7.S0. It Is
tho contention of tho guaranty company
that It Is not responsible for any shortngo
occasioned by overdrafts which wero per
mitted by the Insuranco company.

Divine services on Sunday trains Is a pos
sibility of the near future. Such n project
has bceu considered by passenger officials
for some time, and although no concerted
nctlon has ever been taken in thu matter, it
is hinted that oue of tho big lines operating
through Omaha may try tho experiment.
The principal argument advanced In favor
of such an innovation Is that a certain pro
portion of the genoral traveling public ob
jects to Sunday travel. It Is believed that
tho Institution of dlvlno worship, Identical
with that furnished In any bouse of prayer
on the holy day, would do much toward re
moving this projudlce.
It Is also argued that tho through trains
nowadays ore furnished with nearly every
thing hut religion and a proportionate
mixture of it with tho other udaneed
notions of modern passenger service would
certainly meet with tho approval of tho
church people. The plan which will prob
ably be adopted will bo to convert tho din
ing cars Into temporary chapels and plneo a
cortaln number of parsons on tho pay rolls,
by whom services In the diners would bo
conducted. The conversion of tho dlulns
cars Into places of worship could be ac
complished with but little effort on tho
part of employes, and ono diner would In all
probability accommodate all of tho passen
gers who would care to Join In tho services.
In the tlmo card racks could bo placed hymn
books and small bibles, and tho singing
part of tho service could bo done by the
"congregation." One minister could bo en
gaged to deliver a sermon on each west
bound through train and finish the services
In tlmo to catch an eastbound train and
repeat tho program.
Two years ago this matter received con
siderable attention In pasbenger circles, and
an assistant general passenger agent of the
Erlo prepared an elaborate plan along tho
lines now proposed to bo adopted. It failed
to materialize, however, and the revival nf
the proposition Is creating a great deal of
Interest.

"During tho provlous era when Cuba's

despotism tho Island had a constitution
under which tho people enjoyed home rule,
and under which all tho public offices could
only bo held by natlvo Cubans or Spanish
residents who had resided a cortaln length

to vlolato tho spirit of the constitution by

thanks to tho glorious revolution which
freed Cuba from Spain's rule, today there
Is no constitution nor law save tho saber,

EXTEND PUBLIC PARK SYSTEM
Oommiesioner Cornish Would Hive the Citj
Acquire Cut OS Like,
WOULD MAKE IDEAL SUMMER RESORT
Uant Oinnhn Land Company Offers (o
Purchime lown Portion nnd
Present It to the
Clly.
Park Commissioner E. J, Cornish has a
plan for tho extension of the public park
system, which will bo broached beforo tho
commissioners in connection with the blufH
tract, about to bo acquired. It Is Air. Cor
nish's Idea to span the tracks east of the
bluff with n viaduct and to construct a
drive ulong the shore of Cut Off lake around
Its whole circuit. Owing to tho danger of an
annual overflow, the lake and Its environs
could bo acquired very cheaply, the 300 acres
necessary being worth not over $100 per
acre, or $30,000.
"One of tho obstacles to bo met," re
marked Air. Cornish, "Is the location of tho
lake, part being In Nobraska nnd part In
Iowa. Of courso it would bo Impossible for
the council to condemn the latter portion,
but tho East Omaha Land company has
offered to relievo the situation by purchas
ing the land und donating It to the city.
This offer has never boon made public bu
caubo of the reluctance nf John A. Crelghton,
the ownor, to part with his holding, but It
Is probable that tbo matter may be ad
Justed. "If a drlvo 300 feet wldo could be con
tinued around the lake, a distance of about
five miles, and qulck-growiug trees sot out,
tho body of water would be unequalled as a
pleasure resort this side of Spirit lake. It
Is Inevitable that tho lake must bo Incor
porated Into tho park system either now or
at some future time, as It Ib tho only oppor
tunity of tho sort wo have. If the project H
delayed until tho government or private en
terprise constructs a protecting levee be
tween the lake and tho river, nnd summer
resorts are established along tho shore, the
city can only get Its title at a largo ex
penditure." "It would bo well to fill In the arm of the
lake teaching up to Locust street, as that
ground Is valuable for trackage. As to tho
other horn of tho crescent, a portion of that
also should bo filled In so that tbo complcto
circuit would not bo over flvo miles. The
filling could bo easily accomplished by dredg
ing out tho bottom In shallow parts of the
lake, the most economical kind of grading.
The dredging would have to bo dono any
way, as tho lake Is full of weeds which aro
an annoyance to anglers and a meuaco to
swimmers.
"The acquisition of tho lako Is bound to
pome, and now Bhould bo tho accepted tlmo
when the land can bo acquired nt one-tenth
thn prlco which tho northsldora propose to
pay for the strip along tho bluff, scarcely
600 feet uway. Thero Is no wisdom In con
structing an artificial lako on a high place
when a far moro dcslrahlo body of water
has been located by nature Just under the
brow of tho bill."
J. Q. Hood, Justice of tbn Peace, Crosby,
Alls., makes tho following statement; "I
can certify that One Minute Cough Cure will
do all that Is claimed for It. Aly wife could
not get her breath and the first dose of It
relloved her. It has also benefited my whole
family." It acts Immediately and cure
coughs, colds, croup, grippe, bronchitis,
asthma and all throat and lung troubles.

CHILD FALLS FORTY FEET
Little Mnbcl SlrlmiRcr (iocs Over aa
Bmlimikiiient nl Sixth Street nml
I'oppleton Avenue.
Alabel Strlmlger, 5 years old. fell from an
embankment forty feet high Thursday night
ns sho was playing with other children at
Sixth street and Poppleton nvenue. In the
minds of tho children the cut was a ravlue
In tho Rockies and 'tho summit of the slope
tho. habitation of a grizzly hear. Mabel was
scouting cloro to the edge, when she lost her
balance nnd fell nt tho highest point In the
excavation. Pat,crsby carried tho uncon
scious child to her home at 802 Hickory
street and a surgeon determined that her
spina had been partly dislocated. Her face
was also frightfully cut and bruised. After
fourteen hours the child regained conscious
newt and In tho opinion of Dr. Hnnchctt haa
a chnnco for recovery. Tho phjekian sayn
that Instant death wns only averted beeauno
of the presence of n bed of soft clay at tho
bottom of tho cut. In view of the Injury to
tho spine, her survival, even for a few hours,
Is considered remarkable.
"I had stomach troublo tweniy years and
gavo up hope of bolng cured till I began to
