Mrs. Mary Adams, charged with having
assaulted her former husband, Josonh
Adams, vim Intent to do great bodily In
Jury, has been acquitted In the criminal
court. Tho caso was submitted to the Jury
at 4 o'olock Tuesday afternoon and four
hours later a verdict of not guilty was
returned.
Adams testified at tho trial that his for
mer1 wlfo came to his houso the night of
February 15 and dashed nitric acid In his
face whtin he opened the door for her. He
admitted that ho struck her on tho head
with n coffee pot after she had assaulted
him. Tho defendant wont on tho stand
and denied tho complainant's story, swear
ing positively that she did not throw the
acid In his face. Dr. Ames nnd other wit
nesses testified that nitric acid had been
thrown upon Adams and the Hcarred face
of tho complaining witness furnished fur
ther evidence that it had been burned with
acid.
One of the Jurors was asked last night
how the Jury considered the evidence.
"Wo came to tho conclusion that the de
fendant was entitled to acquittal," said he,
"because there was no evidence to show
that she went to the Adams homo with any
Intention of Inflicting an Injury upon her
former husband. Wo thought sho might
hnvo gono there Intending to Injure tho
present wife of Adams."
"Did tho Jury believe that Mrs. Adams
threw the acid?"
"Some of us did and somo of us didn't.
AVo stood six for conviction and six for ac
quittal on tho first ballot, hut Anally we
nil. agreed that thcrn was no Intent on the
part of tho defendant to Injure Adams and
wo decided to find her not guilty."

Then, why ivot form n good habit, a habit
which will counteract the many bad ones,
In other words contract tho unfashionable
habit of being always well.
Tho boat health habit to get Into Is to
have and keep a vlgurous stomach; If you
havo a healthy digestion you can drink your
beloved coffee, smoke your favorite brand
of tobacco, with llttlo or no harm, tho mil

Form tho habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive which
-wilt relievo tho stomach of so much extra

Naturo furnishes us with such digestives

A special meeting of the Nebraska Ho-
tall Liquor Dealer' Protective association
will bo called to order nt 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon In the hall nt the southwest corner
of Fourteenth nnd Dodge streets. Over 100
delegates had arrlvod from various parts
of tho Mate last night nnd about ISO more
are expected to come In on the morning
trains.
The purpose 0f the meeting Is to make
arrangement', for tho Incorporation of tho
association under tho laws of tho state,
In order to glvo it a legal standing. As
It Is tho association Is unable to accom
plish all of Its qbjeqts, for the reason that
It can , attain no standing In court. The
Slucum law, which holds saloon keepers re
sponslblo for Injuries sustained by those
who become Intoxicated In tho places, pro
vides somo measure of protection for the
liquor dealers and It Is to put themselves
In position to tnko the fullest advnntago
of this protection that the dealers want
to glvo their organization legal existence.
Another matter to bo considered nt to
day's meeting Is houso roll 24'J, a bill now
beforo tho legislature, which provides right
of appeal for tho saloon keepers from the
decisions of police boards In license cases.
Mr. J. W. Patterson, night pollco at

very bad cold on ray lungs and used halt a

Now that the charter has been signed by
Governor Dietrich, tho city ot South Omaha
blossoms forth ns a city of another class
nnd will henceforth bo credited with hav
ing a population of over 2S.000 people. By
attaching his signature to the bill Governor
Dietrich worked wonders In n moment, as
municipal nffaits were In a chaotic state and
none of tho officials seemed to know Just
whero they stood.
It Is expected that a special meeting of
the council will be called shortly, pre
sumably today, for the purpose of redis
ricting the city Into six wards. By this
change In tho number of wards tho number
ot counclltueu will be reduced by two, nud
the chances are that the mayor will bo given
the opportunity to mnko appointments. As
for the First ward, tho ordlnnnce now drawn
specifics that the lino hhall bo drawn along
Twenty-third street. This may, howoTer,
be changed so that the First ward may be
cut into two wards, tho western portion
being given to tho Fourth wnrd and a por
tion of tho Second given to tho First wnrd.
So many schemes nro on foot for a division
that It will tako some tlmo for tho mem
bers ot the council to como to an agree
ment, ns each member Is naturally look
ing for the best of It.
Just whnt effect the signing ot the char
ter will havo on tho coming election re
mains to bo seeu, but It Is conceded gen
erally that the republicans did the right
thing In their nominations.
Storm lu .South Oiunlin.
Yesterday's storm tended to put a damper
on business all over tho city nud thero was
nothing doing tho greater part ot the day.
At the stock-yards all cattle, hogs and sheep
were housed early nnd sales were quickly
made. Precautions were taken by the man
agement to see that stack did not suffer In
the least.
At tho schools tho older pupils woro dis
missed at noon nnd wero told not to ie-
turn, whllo tho children were kept In until
their parents called for them or tho teach
ers had an opportunity of taking them home.
As usual tho street car uervlco was
abominable. The branch lines were aban
doned early In the morning and are still
under n cover of snow and Ice. The first
sweeper nppcared at 11:20 yesterday fore
noon, nnd the tracks had' no sooner been
nlenred than they woro filled with drifts
again. No particular effort seemed to be
mado to keep the lino to Omahn open, nnd
hundreds of worklngmen walked or re
mained In South Omnha over night. Natur
ally the wires were tangled up, tut by hard
work Manager Holland of tho telephone ex-
chango managed to keep tho majority of his
wires clear nnd the servlco given was much
better thun could bo expected uudcr the
circumstances.
