Now the verdict la In, and Burk is out, for the Jury found him not guilty of even that which he was willing to confess. It was an unusual case In more respects than one. All day Thursday eminent gen tlemen versed In matters of health and nygiene posfd berore the court with a hickory pole which waa said to be a bed Hlat. but which looked more like a wagon tongue. It wja wltn this pole that Burk wa said to have struck Mary, and the medicine men were called to tell what Mary looked like after the pole struck her. Jury Appears llnlj Impreaaeil. It was their unanimous assertion that the blow had broken the Inner condyle of the humerus on her east side, looking north.

An hour later Judge Baxter received a note that nearly unseated his Judicial dig nity. It was from the twelve men down In the Jury room and In It they requested to know if, should they bring in a verdict of guilty of assault and battery, the Judge would consider the time already spent In Jail a sufficient punishment for the prisoner and release him. The Judgo has had a number of novel propositions, but never one Just like that. He sent back word that he had no right to Instruct them as lo what the punishment ' would be. Twenty minutes later Miat Jury came la with a verdict of not gu'lty. C'onrt H the I.uet Word. When ihe Judge had recovered himself sufficiently he took the twelve good men and true to his bosom for a little heart to heart talk that may be of value to them and to other Jurors of the future. He said: "I do not criticise your verdict, gentle men of the Jury, but let me remind you that .it is the Jury's duty only to deter mine the guilt or Innocence of the party tried. If guilty the responsibility of sen tencing, except In murder rases, is solely with the court. A Jury may properly rec ommend a prisoner to the leniency of the court, but the court Is to do the rest. taking Into consideration the prisoner's past record and general character, which are matters with which a Jury is not to be concerned, as it passes upon only the guilt of the prisoner on one charge. You had no right to ronslder tho matter of punishment in reaching your verdict, though you might have recommended mercy and your recommendation would have been given consideration." The deputy county attorney seemed to have a number of remarks he would like to append to those of the Judge, but court rules prevented and the Jury probably never will know Just what he thought about It. What Burk thought was plainly Indicated in the smile he wore as ho walked from the court a free man. If It a "ta.id. That's all you need to know about a atoft or rang. STREET SIGNS ARE DELAYED Contractor Brian; Paahed by t lt Ka. alneer Iv Harry the Work Along. Although It Is now several months since contract was made for street signs throughout the city and by the terms of the contract work waa to be begun at once, none of the aigns have as yet been placed, and as far as can be learned there Is no certainty as to when the work will be com menred. The contract was let early in August to the Western Anchor Fence company, and it was then undertlood lhau the signs were to be placed as soon and as rapidly as the city engineer should designate where they must be placed. Nearly two months ago the city engineer'a department finished the chart designating the points at -which the signs were to be placed, and since then Assistant City Engineer Craig has spent a great deal of time trying to get the work started, but thus far the only answer he has been able to get from ths contractors is that the ma terial is on the road and baa not yet ar rived.

WORK WILL BEGIN AT ONCE, HOWEVER Branch to the Forest l.awn tenietery Will Be Constructed After the Main f.lne to Florence Is Completed. The Omaha Street Railway company is awaiting a report from the Board of Tub- He Works before beginning work on the line to Florence. The track crew Is now , employed on Ames avenue, changing the rails between Eighteenth and Twenty second streets, and as soon aa the work Is completed there the company desires to put them to work on the Ames avenue ex tension. Tint Ga.t..u lh. ftmn.ntf marin Dnntl- cation for the permit, but It has not been received. The company has a franchise to lay tracks upon any street of the city, but by the terms of the contract It must re- ceive formal permlsalon from the city be- fore starting to work. The application is for the use of Twenty-fourth street from Ames avenue to Fort street. Fort street from Twenty-fourth street to Thirtieth street, and Thirtieth street from Fort street to the city limits. The city limits of Omaha extend to the limits ot Florence precinct, but It Is a mile and a half from those limits to the town of Florence. Work will be started this fall and all material is on hand, but because of the lateness of the season it is not expected that cars will be running to Florence be fore next summer. At the same time the force-of men will be employed as long as tho weather permlta and cars will run as soon as possible, so that with a favorable winter cara may run to Florence early In the spring. The construction of the line from the Florence line to Forest Lawn cemetery will be taken up after the main line is completed, and probably will be In operation within a year. CHANGE IN NORMAL COURSE Sot satisfactory o Some Members of Omaha Board of Kdaratlon. The teachers' committee of the Omaha Board ot Education and the manager of the Normal school at Peru are exchanging communications on the subject of the course ot study recently adopted in the Normal school for students who are gradu ates of the Omaha High school and one or two other high schools in the state where the course of study is higher than the average. The matter originated over an attempt by members of the teachers' committee of the Omaha board to abolish the examinations required of applicants' for positions as teachers In the grade schools insofar as these examinations are applied to appli cants who, after graduation at the Omaha High achocl, receive diplomas from the State Normal school. Persons who favored the examinations for these applicants said that a change had been made In the course ot study at tiie Normal achool so that it is now necessary for graduates of the Omaha achool to attend two years before receiving a diploma instead of receiving tt at the end of one y.-ar. aa formerly. Inves tigation showed that the one-year course had not been changed in this particular, but that the practice teaching in the one year course had been abolished.

The British naval authorities, although they are not building a great fleet of sub marines, are experimenting very carefully with those they have, and are said to have1 reached some important conclusions. After prolonged experiments with several of the boats In the Irish sea. It has been deter mined that a number of alterations and modifications are neceasary. Tbey do not appear to have maneuvered under water tor more than an hour at a time, but a good deal of mystery Is observed about their work. The fastest ot them ran go twelve knota with its turret awash and eight knots under water. Its gasolene motor will drive It 400 knots without replenishment. It carries a crew of seven men, volunteers, all of whom have been sworn to secrecy. Its armament consists of four 18-tnch White head torpedoes, which can be discharged from almost any position. A new type ot submarine, 100 feet long and capable of making fifteen knots on the surface and tea below, has Just been completed, and of this great things are expected. Among other improvements It is provided with a new "eye," called the "rleptoacope." the hi. ventlon of Sir Howard Orubb, which is said to give much wider range of vision than tho periscope. It is said that the committee appointed to consider the proposal to build what would be practically a new Spanish navy reported in favor of the construction ot twelve bat tleships, ten cruisers, and seventy-six smaller vessels. Il Is expected, however, that a rather more moderate scheme will be submitted to the Cortes. This Includes the construction of ten battleships ot 13,000 tons each, six to ten cruisers ot S.000 tons. six torpedo boat destroyers of 240 tons thirty-two torpedo boats of 130 tons, and forty ot seventy tons, tweaty gunboats ot 300 tons for the protection ot the roasts the fishing, the Canary aud Balearic Inlands and Fernando Po; two training ships, mixed steam and aall, for cadets, and three sail ing ships for training quartermasters and men.

The chief disagreement between the members of the committee was as to the battleships, one proposal being that they should be of 14,000 tons displacement, and another that they should be from 8,000 to 10,000 tons. It la one thing to lay the keels of new ships and another to get them ready for sea. Of late tho main trouble with Spain's new men-of-war has been that they were obsolete before they were launched. The Russians, judging from all ac counts, must have worked like beavers during their occupation of Manchuria. They have effected a complete transforma tion In the appearance ot the country. As one correspondent expresses It, Siberia seems to have extended southwards to the railway line. Hallar, where five years ago were a few Mongol tents, near a poor Chinese settlement, is now a Russian town with Russian shops, hotels and hospitals. The correspondent counteC twenty-two lo comotives standing at the station. Harbin, be says, Is a Russian city, where five years sgo there were halt a dozen Chinese mud huts. It has a Russian civil population ot 9,000, with river steamers on the Sun gar!, with forests of scaffold poles -where a new town Is under construction, with en gine shops of the best and engine sheds with stalls for forty-two locomotives. At Hantahotzu and other places tn the forests east of Harbin, where five years ago were some robber huts, there are now large Russian settlements, with home life and women and children. At Pogranltchnaia., on the eastern frontier, where there was nothing, there is now a Russian town with handsome brick buildings, electric lights and water laid on, a public park, a reading room and railway stall for twenty-one locomotives. Coming south from Harbin Russian settlements ate bo Ing built on Russian concessions alongside all the great cities. At Mukden the rail way, which was fifteen miles away, now passes the western wall. Tha Russian concession round the railway station covers ten square miles. Large barracks have been built there and permanent accommo dation for railway officials and the offi cers of the permanent garrison. Efforts arc being made throughout, some of the larger cities of England, and espe cially In London, to put a stop to tha habit of swearing on the publio streets. There Is a law on the subject, but It Is rarely en forced except, perhaps, in some small town where the mayor may for the time get a virtuous streak. The trouble with the law is that It Is only put Into practice when seme rltixen makes a complaint to a police man, and that statistics of the police courts show that even when arrests are made the prosecutor very seldom appears to prss tbu complaint the next morning. In Liverpool, where there la a large proportion of the hoodlum in the population, the habit if cursing In public has been largely re strained rereutly, but that wart because the police received strict orders to arreat nny person, male or female, who might be beard using vile language on the streets without waiting (or a complaint from a citizen. Tha habit of swearing, too.
