The Inquest hold Thursday rooming at
Coroner Brallcy's office over the body of
Charles Jones, who was shot at Military j
park Tuesday evening, took up the entire
forenoon. After half an hour a delibera--Ion
the Jury returned a verdict that Jonee
Cams to hi death from a gunshot wound
inflicted by Antonio Plstillo with felonious
intent. The Jury recommended that Martin
MtOovern, H. Jacobaon and Frank and
K. R. Kllllsn, Jones' companions at the
time f the shooting, b held aa witnesses.
Deputy County Attorney Fitch stated
that a complaint of murder In the first de
gree probably would be filed against Pls
tlllo, who has not been apprehended.
Qeorgo II. Jones, father of the dead man,
is expected from ToUdo, O., this afternoon.
When tho funeral arrangements will La
made.
The search for Plstillo Is still being
made. Detectives say they learned from
oocupann of the house at 10BS South
Eighteenth street, whero the Italian lived,
that a number of his countrymen made up a
ptirsa of $ for him since he left the
scene of tho shooting Tuesday evening. A
friend of his has been Quoted as saying
that If the murderer was not caught by
tonight bo would be safe on his way to
Italy. One of the principal witnesses at the
inquest was John D. Crelghton of 1918 Cass
street. Mr. Crelghton was at his stables
near Military park on the day of the trag
eds. Crelahton Daw Trouble.
"I saw there was trouble brewing at the
saloon adjoining the park." said Mr. Crclgh
ton. "and I tried to avrrt it by telling
Jones and his four companions to leave
and thus avoid unpleasantness I saw
Jacobson break a cord that secured a door
leading from the saloon to the park.
Plstillo was dancing by himself and
Jones called to him. The Italian
heeded the call and asked Jones If he
could talk Spanish. Then Jones called
Plstillo a vile name. Soon afterward one
of Jones' companions (pointing to Jacpbson)
took off Ms coat and offered to whip
Plstillo, saying at the same time ho would
make him swallow something ha (Plstillo)
had said. I again tried to quell the
trouble, but to no avail. Then Jones came
In to where I was standing and asked if
I had a gun. I told him I had not, where
upon the young man made a grab for my
oana, which he failed to get. Then Jones
entered the park, went out to the street,
and I soon saw him with two mineral
bottles In his hands. I noticed Jones raise
his arm as if to throw one of the bottles,
and in the next moment or so noticed
Plstillo raising his revolver. I then dodged
behind a pole, heard two shots, looked up
and saw one of the bottles on the ground
close to Plstillo.
Fatal shot la Fired.
"When I saw Jones' arm raised with the
bottle- I said to him. 'Don't throw those
bottles Into those women and children.'
The next thing I knew Jones was lying
dead."
Vlto Pascals, leader of the Italian band
for the benefit of which the picnic was
being held Tuesday at Military park, said
ha had known Plstillo nearly a year and
tried to stop the disturbance on Tuesday.
"I heard Jonas and his friends challeng
ing Plstillo, and at one stage of the
trouble I took Plstillo by the arm and got
htm away from the young men. I heard
one shot before Plstillo fired. Plstillo held
his revolver behind him three or four mln
utea before he shot Jones. I did not see
the bottles Jones Is said to have had."
McOovern. Jacobson and the Killian
brothers, Jones' companions on Tuesday,
gave a general account of the trouble and
all said they had known Jones for many
years In Omaha and testified that he bore
a reputation for being peaceable. Jacobson
said Plstillo ordered him out of he park
when he called the Italian a name and of
fered to whip Mm In the alley. At that
time, declared Jacobson, Plstillo pushed
his revolver In Jacobson' s fare. According
to the testimony of the four companions
of Jones none of them offered to go to tho
rescue of their friend when they learned
he had been shot, nor did they offer to

PURE BLOOD

' When Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Pimples,

ance it is a sure sign that the blood is
filled with humors and burning acids.
These being forced through the pores
and glands burn and blister the skin, pro
ducing the eruptions which are usually
accompanied with intense itching, and
are disfiguring and humiliating.
Tsars ago my blood was bad, as evi

FRANK MURPHY LIBRARY GIFT
Ten Thousand Dollari Not Turned Over
Beoauso Estate ii Unsettled.
NO DIFFICULTY ABOUT OBTAINING MONEY
Borne Think Ileqoent Cannot Be laed
by Board Without Special
Charter Provision Mad
by Lealslature.
Mention of the Frank Murphy bequest to
the Omaha public library at the Portland
meeting of the Western Library associa
tion has suggested Inquiries as to when
the 110,000 left by the will of the late
street railway magnate Is to be received
and how It is to be used. President U S.
Reed of the library board is reserved in
remarks concerning the bequest.
"If I remember the terms of the will
correctly," said he, "the money is left to
be expended for-' public library purposes,
but at the direction of the mayor and
council. This belngAthe case, It seems to
me the library boarf has little or no con
trol of the money, or, at least, not until
It has been turned over to the board by
the mayor and council. Bo far as I know
the amount has not yet been placed In the
hands of the city treasurer by the executors
of the estate; neither has the mayor and
council taken any action rogaidlng It. The
library board is in a recepttve mood and, of
course, would be glad to have the bequest
placed to its credit, so that It might be
used to bettering and enlarging the Insti
tution." Question for the Lawyers.
President Reed was asked whether or not
the charter limitation of $22,000 yearly on
library expenditures and the provision of
the new charter requiring an surplus
money to be turned into the city general
fund at the end of the year did not pre
vent acceptance of the gift until after a
charter amendment had been passed by the
legislature making it possible to use the
legacy and at the same time not sacrifice
any of the annual revenue from the city.
That is a legal question and lor tne
lawyers to decide," replied President Reed.
"It has not yet bten taken under consia-
eration by the Judiciary committee nor sub
mitted to an attorney."
Others familiar with the law and library
board affairs say, however, that there is
no way in which the Murphy gift can be
utilised without a special charter provi
sion.
Frank T. Hamilton, executor of the Mur
phy estate, was asked if the money had
yet been paid to the city.
"It has not," replied Mr. Hamilton. "The
estate is In process of settlement, but so
far as I know thre will not be any dim
cultles about following out the terms of the
will regarding the library bequest. It will
be paid over within a year and the city will
be free to spend it as It likes on library
property. The exact conditions are not
now distinct in my mind."
NO FLOWER SHOW THIS YEAR
Plan Haa Been Abandoned aa There
la Not Time for Growth
of Flower.
Plans for a flower show this fall has
been given up. Manager GUlan of the Aud
Itorlum has had some correspondence on
the subject with those experienced with the
management of flower shows and they say
that arrangements should be made six
months or a year in advance. The local
florists say that they would require at
least six months to grow the flowers which
they wish to place on exhibition. '
Prospects are favorable for the organi
sation of an Omaha Flower Show assocla
tlon next spring, the florists seeming to
take kindly to the Idea. Kansas City,
which Is not as large a hothouse center as
Omaha, has held a flower show for three
years with marked success and haa had
exhibitors from all parts of the union.
There Is talk among the florists of organiz
ing themselves and other cltisens Into an
association for giving shows, atarting with
one next fall. An effort wll be made to
secure the co-operation of the Civic Inv
provement league.

Ijist night the Ferris Stock company of
fered for the mid-week change of bill "A
Flag of Truce." a simple little arrange
ment of well known Ingredients, In which
several very Interesting situations are de
veloped and some good opportunities frr
character acting are offered. Mr. Harbour
Is seen as a quaint old Rhode Islander,
who has a shrewd Insight Into human na
ture, as well as a strong current of genial
ity In his soul. His good work is finely off
set by Miss Csrmontelle, who was given a
most cordial welcome, she having been out
of the bill for the first half of the week.
Miss Csrmontelle has the part of an Irish
nmlil of established age and does It ex
ceedingly well. Master Clarke Marshall is
featured In a small role and the rest of the
company find themselves well situated. The
play went very smoothly last night and
was much enjoyed, for it is a clever
mingling of humor and human Interest. It
will be the bill until after Saturday night,
with the customary matinee on Saturday.

The Vatican at Itome.
The Vatican, bringing to the minds of
European travelers Impressions of all that
Is most beautiful and sacred In religious
life, is kept scrupulously clean. That

believed and practiced. Tti'jtus beautiful
marble floors are soiled by the tread of
thousands of feet and yet they are always
clean. A miracle? No, not even a secret.
In the storehouse of the Vatican at Rome
there stands a barrel labeled "Gibson's

aces on earth it Is supreme, the king of
cleaners. In your home It will prove In
dispensable. It will clean any article In
your house, even the most delicate, without
Injury, and clean it better and with less

HOWELL IS NOT T1NDICATED

NO TROUBLE FOR JURY TO AGREE
Twelve Men Decide The Bee'a K.x-

Political Record la Sot
Defamatory.
Not guilty" was the verdict of the Jury
In the case of alleged criminal libel brought
In the district court in the name of the
state by R. B. Howell agnlnst Edward
Rosewater.
The Jury came Into court at t:lR, after
being out not quite three hours. Half of
this time was consumed in going to and
from the Drexel hotel for dinner.
Immediately on retiring the Jury took a
ballot, which showed ten for acquittal and
two for conviction. A smile went around
the circle, for no one seemed) to take the
two negative votes as Indicating the real
sentiments of the men who cast them.
There was practical agreement from the
start, as Intimated by one Juryman, that
the only malice shown in the Cane hnd
been by the prosecuting witness while on
the stand.
After lunch the Jury settled down to
smoke a cigar and chat of the features of
the case Informally. This done, another
ballot was taken and showed an agree
ment. The signal bell was rung and the
report made to Bailiff Klrkrndall that the
Jury was ready to come Into court.
Howell Siot Present at End.
Judge Day was on hand, as was County
Attorney Slabaugh and his assistant, Mr.
Shotwell. R. B. Howell, the prosecuting
witness, had got to the court room before
t o'clock, evidently expecting a short ses
sion by the Jurymen. He waited until 2 10
and then got up nervously amd went away.
He had not returned when the Jury deliv
ered Its verdict through Foreman Hawkins.
Immediately on being discharged from
attendance on court, and when the Jury
had also been released, Mr. Rosewatfr was
congratulated by the people who were pres
ent. He shook hands with the Jurymen
as they filed out. and then fell Into line
with the departing cltisens and went back
to his duties In the big imlldlng across the
street.
County Attorney SiSDaugrt occupied some
thing like an hour In his closing address
He was Interrupted in the midst of his
talk by a message from the prosecuting
witness insisting that he read a certain
article to the Jury, which ho did.
Judge Day's charge was quite lengthy.
It embodied three special instructions
asked by the defense, going to the ques
tion or malice and good motive and as to
the exact time when Howell became a
state senator.

Thus far In the prosperous year 1906 only
five small railway companies, aggregating
770 miles of lines, have defaulted in their

POLICE PLUNDER IS SOLD
I'nclalmed Articles Collected by De
partment Are gold at Auction
by Honnenbrrif.
Joe Sonnenberg lield the boards at the
police court yesterday afternoon when the
annual sale of unclaimed articles was be
gun for the benefit of the police depart
ment. A thousand and one articles are
being disposed of for a mere song. Every
one Is guaranteed his money's worth or
money refunded at the box office as cheer
fully as It was taken. There Is such an
accumulation of stuff this year that It Is
necessary to continue the sale to this
afternoon, when Auctioneer Sonnenberg will
mount the block again at 2 o'clock.
A world of associations and stories clus
ter around the articles being sold. Could,
tor Instance, the hundreds of revolvers on
sale tell their Individual little stories a
book could be written and then the halt
would not have been told. In tho varied
collection of shooting Irons are some that
have been around the world; others that
have sent victims to an untimely death,
while others have figured in various ways
In the world of din and strife. Every
pocketknlfe manufacturer In the country
Is represented at the sale In that at least
one specimen of his wares Is In the collec
tion of cutlery. Watches of all kinds are
to be had and some rare bargains In this
line were obtained yesterday afternoon.
Not a few curio seekers were on hand for
such articles as "hop outfits" used by
opium smokers.
As a rulo every bidder reaches for his
article or package with alacrity, hoping he
haa made a "find." There was, however,
an exception to this rule yesterday after
noon, when a colored man ran the bidding
up to $1 on a package, but when, the auc
tioneer brought his mailed fist down on
the block and closed the bidding there
was no response from Mr. Colored Man.
Asked as to his silence after he had been
so active In the bidding, he remarked:
"To can't fo'ce me to take dat package.

APPRAISERS TO MEET TODAY
Board Comes Toa-ether on Water
Work,, It la Thought, for
Last Time.
The Board of Water Works Appraisers
Is due In Oninlia this morning for a ses
sion which the members of the Water
board hope will be the last. Some antici
pation is held that the appraisers will
make a final report as to the value of
the plant before leaving Omaha, but con
servative members of the Water board
do not view affairs with so much assur
ance. It Is hinted, however, that the board
Is going to attempt a move or two toward
getting a report quick from the engi
neers who have hod the thing in hand
nearly two years. Certain Wnter board
members do not hesitate to express pro
found disgust ovpt the wearisome tactics
that have prevailed so far and they In
timate that the appraisers are going to
hear from them and very much to the
point.
A few weeks ago Attorney Wright wrote
to the appraisers urging them to come
out and view the rip-rapping while the
Missouri waB high, so they might be bet
ter prepared to"estlmnte the value of this
work over which there Is a wide differ
ence In opinion as to value. The river has
since gone down some. It has been suld
all along, however, that tho engineers
would hold another session In this city
before formulating the report.
The air Is charged with a report that
something Is about to "drop," but whether
It Is the final report or an ultimatum con
cerning the time by which the report must
be In, Is not made plain.

riedly, and after taking all his money per
mitted him to go his way, with the warn
ing not to look around under the pain of
severe treatment.
Mr. Mattox appeared at the police station
as quickly as possible after the robbery,
