In JuiVre Estelle's court yesterdey
Vrs. Bsrah C. Flgg told a Jury of the time
She u tarred br a mob of Incensed cltl
gens of Gretas and vicinity. She was on
the stand aa the first witness In her suit
for 12.000 damages Instituted against Alien
Wood. W. W. Browning and Albert Dona
hoo. whom she claims to have recognised
as the leaders of the mob.
Mrs. Flgg said that oo the night of March
22. 1900, the crowd, numbering; about thirty
people, came to the Flgg home near Oretna
(ft about 11:30 o'clock and beat in the doors.
Allan Wood them led them Into the house,
be said; and he himself intruded the bed
i chamber, where she and her husband had
itwea asleep until awakened by the pound-
Ung at the door.
Acorn-ding to -the rest of her narrative
?!Wood grabbed her by the wrists and at
tempted to pull her from the bed. She re
lsted and he then grabbed her up bodily
and carried her- Into the next room, where
others of the mob stood ready, and they
plielf-dragged, half-carried her Into the
fetreet In her Bight clothes. She says that
feehe did not revile them nor reproach them,
'trat kept asking Wood what they Intended
tdolng. '
' A pile Tar, eat Tto Feathers.
Arriving In the middle of the road In
ront of the house, they forced her onto
' her hack, smothered her mouth and cov
ered her eyes with their hands and applied
tar to her person. No feathers were used.
After she had been coated she was still
held firmly, while the men with the tar
turned their attention to her busbaad, who
bad been held a few feet from her by an
other division of the mob. After he had
teen coated the mob led them back as far
as the gate and then made its escape.
Mrs. Flgg says that both she add her hus
band were In their night clothes and were
Allowed do other covering, though the mer
cury stood at about the freezing point at
that time.
On cross-examination she testified that
Wood was the only one of the three de
fendants to whom she had talked while the
mob was doing Its work. The attorneys
Inquired particularly as to how she knew
who the members of the mob were, and she
answered that when the hands were tsken
from her eyes she recognised their forms
and . their haU. and that the masks had
lipped from some of their faces. She
aid, too, that she had been nearly smoth
ered and that she lay so exhausted after
the ordeal that the mob was for a while
alarmed by a fear that she wss lifeless.
Shortly before the noon recees she wss
succeeded on the stand by Lewis Flgg, her
husband, who went over the same details.
In the afternoon the witnesses called
Were the three defendants. Allan Wood
admitted participating In the tarring pro
cess. W. W. Browning admitted being close
by when It was done, but denied assisting
tn applying the tar or holding the victims.
Albert Donaboo said that he knew some
thing was to be done, but that he did not
go to the Flgg house.

Defense.
The popular idea expressed in the
E- ese, "the art of self-defense," shows
opinion that the chief enemies a man
to defend himself from are visible
,aad external. But the real danger of
very man Is from minute and often in
I visible iocs. In the air wc breathe and
I the water we drink are countless minute
organism leagued against the health of
;the body.
The one defense against these enemies
la to keep the blood pure. Dr. Ficrce'a
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
purifies the blood, removing poisonous
substance and accretions. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find a lodg

PUBLIC MARKET HOUSE SITE
Defease af Capital Aveaae Lea4lea
Aaalast CrMlelnane ef
Osaosltlea.
OMAHA. Neb.. March 7-To the Editor
of The Bee?, in the report given of the
alleged action and disposition on ths part
of the grocers', association In conjunction
with some commission house Interests with
reference to the market house question as
given In ths Issue of The Bee on the Ith
Inst., 1 desire to say that Inasmuch as
there Is a seeming lack of public spirit, of
loyalty to public Interest and much that
Is misleading . in the reputed statements
made by the Opponents of the proposed city
market house and market place as decided
upon by the city council; in view of these
fscts, although at thla Juncture It may not
be necessary to discuss this matter, yet. It
Is proper to understand correctly ail sides
of a question which Is te affect the Interests
of the entire city. I naturally feel the
ssme Interest that hundreds of other tax
payers feel In the ultimate success of what
Is looked upon aa a tax-saving proposition.
Many ardent Supporters of the Csptlol
avenue site have no personal Interest In
the location. . In fact the Indifference 0f
Capitol avenue property owner, as a rule,
has been very apparent in this matter, as
I learn, so to Impugn the motives of the
many supporters and taxpayers of this city
In their Interest shown In the market house
question by calling It a "scheme of private
speculation" Is unjust, dlsloyel and dis
courteous. Ths reasons for the seemingly
unlverssl interest In, end appreciation of,
the Capitol avenue site, as I understand.
Is first, from the fact that the location ap
peals to people as being convenient of ac
cess for all the psople from all parts of
the city. Then again, Omaha hss wanted
a market house for more than thirty years.
If it wss not a good thing. the people would
not went It, and they are glad now to take
It off the list of wants In so satisfactory a
manner.
The building ae contemplated would be a
credit to any city.-' This City council will'
go Into history as. having accomplished
something which, many councils have failed
to do in the last thirty years, and it is be
lieved that they will meet the approval of
all taxpayers in this act, from the fsct
tbst with a natural support the' msrket
house will afford a rich-revenue for the
city and will be appreciated by the people.
.When It Is stated that the grocers will
never patronize the Capitei avenue market
house, I will say that some of the leading
grocers have stated that' they-would be
purohaaere of stalls In the market house
when completed. Instead of casting re
flections upon the location and upon the
proposed building as being deficient In
architectural grandeur and design, why do
not the opponents say that they are op
posed to any city market house and show
their position without equivocation? The
opponents to the market house and" to Its
location argue the' Inconvenience to their
business. Why did they wish to get rid of
the market some time ago? It seemed to
be too near to them then. Why is tho
room on Capitol avenue insufficient when
Arty-nine places are said to have been sold
two years ago and eighty-three places a
year ago? Some folks teem hard to please.
The people bordering npon the old market
place who have previously petitioned for
Its removal seem not to be considered by
the opponents te the Capitol avenue arte.
There seems to be lack of harmony in the
old camp. If, as has bean stated, the mar
ket gardeners across tho river are too
"nosey" and conspicuous In their efforts to
thwart the will of the city council and of
the people, then they had better stay at
home and "go way back and tit down;" We
can do without them. " "
With some there' eeems to he a vague
Idea as to what comprises a city market.'
One would think from the strife and ef
fort made by the opponents that Cabbage,
beets and turnips constituted a market and
that the success of their business depended
upon a location dictated by them. The
fact is. It Is th same old story. I fall to
recall to memory any matter Intended for
publlo an 4 mutual good that has ever "been
presented and acted upon harmoniously; ex
cept the Transmlstlsslppt exposition. '
In other cities where market houses are
being operated- merchants In the commis
sion and grocery line of business- flourish
and prosper 'just aa they would here. The
disposition to antagonise on account of a
fear of personal disturbance and Injury and
through a desire to control for 'personal
benefit blocks the wheels of publlo enter
prise and progress, L. V, MORSE.
EDNA GRANT'S QUIET MARRIAGE

Story aa Tel ky He
Father. - ' ' , .,, .. ,
John Grant and his daughter; Mrs. Edna
Orant Cornell, returned yesterday from
New York and Washington. ' Mr.' Orant
laughs at the sensational stories that were
printed In the eastern papers concerning
the alleged elopement of his daughter,
"The only basis for the story." says Mr.
Orant. "Is that my daughter and her hus
band were married without saying anything
to myself. or Mr. Cornell's parents about
their Intention. They left home -to attend
a theater together and on the way stopped
at the home of aa Episcopal minister and
were married. When' Edna and I left New
Tork and were crossing the river to Jersey
City she told me what she had done. He
told his relatives at the same time.
'X have no objections te Mr. Cornell as a
son-in-law. If I had been consulted I might
have advised the young folks to wait a year
or two, not because I opposed their mar
rlsge, but because of their yenth. -
-Mr. Cornell Is the son of Samncl W. Cor
nell, one of the eldest and best known rest
dents of Brooklyn. The family 'is among
ths best tn the city, x Another son of Mr.
Cornell Is married to my slater's daughter.
My daughter will remain In Omaha a coupls
of months and will than return to her home

Urge number of voters who had neglected
to register or vote last fall were sworn In
and City Clerk 8hrlgley was forced to
employ a couple of additions! clerks in
order to handle the crowd. No count was
kept of the number of votes sworn In, but
It was 'not less than 200.

A call for a special meeting of the Tax
payers' league has been sent out by A. H.
Morrill, for a meeting of the members
tonight at Kelt's hall. It Is stated In the
call that Important business Is to be trans
acted and every member Is urged to attend.
While no special mention la made In the
call of the Importance of the meeting, It
has been reported that steps ars to be tsken
to prevent the council. If such a thing Is
possible, from renewing the twenty-year
bonds now outstanding at the same rste of
Interest. It is possible that a restraining
order may be asked for from obe of the
judges of the district court. The plan of
the council ' to renew these bonds, which
have nearly fifteen years to run, does not
seem to meet with fsvor among - people
who are paying heavy taxes.
Master at Troop.
The South Omaha cavalry was mustered
into the state service last night by Captain
Hodglns of the Second Nebraska . Infantry.
In this work Captain Hodglns, who com
manded the Omaha Guards, was assisted by
Captain Richards of the Thurston Rifles.
Seventy men reported for muster and took
the obligation and the drill put hip was en
tirely satisfactory to the inspecting and
mustering officers.
Following the muster the troop met and
elected officers. William L Holland was
elected captain, Bruce McCulloch first lieu
tenant and Harry Tagg second lieutenant.
The non-commissioned officers will remain
the same for the time being. A drill under
the state - regulations win be held at the
troop armory on Monday night and all members-will
be expected to answer to roll call.
At the conclusion -of the muster. Captain
Hodglns addressed ' the troop, and gave
some advice, which will come handy later
on. Captain Holland also made a few re
mark!. ' .

prospect for a busy season here this year
Is decidedly promising. '

that one if not two would be forced to drop

Early Spring
We're not quite sure whether she's here or not, but
fhrewd buyers are purchasing in advance of the season,
and selecting spring clothing now. "Nebraska Cloth
.tig" will be nicer than ever this spring. Our buyera
were in the markec early and picked from the choicest of
ferings shown. Home of the handsomest woolens we have
ever seen are made up into "Nebraska Clothing'
nnd will be sold just as if they were the humblest patterns
in the laud. , . . .
We don't charge for beauty here. We don't charge for
rtyle. We deem it only our duty to find for you the best
there is and to furnish it to you at the lowest possible
prices.
