LINCOLN, Sept. 13. (Special.) In the matter of the Investigation of the charges against Prof. J. W. Searson, a teacher In the Peru Normal school, all the evidence of the plaintiff. Miss Katherlne Hudson, was -Introduced this . afternoon and the normal board committee then continued the hearing until after the trial of Prof. Sear son In the district court of Nemaha county. The charge against him In the district court is attempt to commit assault. Miss Shep herd, a teacher In the Lincoln schools; corroborated, the testimony of Miss Hud son ,, thjs morning by telling what Miss Hudson had told her under' pledge of ae ereoynotj the evening the assault was al leged to have been committed and of the agitated condition of the plaintiff. Rev. Mr. , Tyler, pastor of the church to which both Searson and Miss Hudson belonged. was 'placed' on the stand to bir, fSiat he I na'ry. On the ether-hand, had tefused to give,' Miss JIudsorf1 a, letter district, J. W. James la ou from theuJurch-. lie testified that he had beard . runyrs connecting the names of Miss Hudson and Prof. Searson, and Anally went to Miss Hudson' and she told him her story. He then went to Searson and. Bug tested Having a church trial.' Seat-son objected to the church trial and said he would withdraw fro mthe church If charges were filed against him. As a reason for not wanting a church trial, Tyler testified that Searson said: "I Intend to fight the duvll with fire. They have fought me under cover and now I intend to use any kind of means to clear myself. I can use meth ods before the State ' Normal board that I cannot use' In a church trial. I Intend to spend every dollar I have clearing my self. And I expect to do It by fair means or foul." Tyler then modified his statement by ; saying -lie . may not have quoted the exact . words of Searson, but that was the Impression given him In his talk. At the conclusion of the testimony of Tyler, II. H. Wilson, for the defendant, said his client 'was to bo tried In district court shortly, and therefore, he. did not want to offer any testimony at this time and asked for a continuance. However, ho said If his client was found guilty In the district court he would promptly resign his position In the normal school and not embarrass the normal board. While not objecting to a continuance. Hallack Rose, assisting Representative Xuackenbush. at torney for Miss .Hudson, pointed out that tie board had a duty to perform without reference to the verdict in the district court. Very dramatically he pleaded for the girl, who, he said, had been misrepre- r of her story. Miss Hudson and two women who accompanied her, wept during his short but very pathetio plea, while even the board members showed signs of being Impressed. Expenses of Candidate-. The expense accounts being filed with the secretary of state by the various can didates answers the question of whether a poor man Is shut out of being a candidate for office by reason of the expense of the state primary. It cost Judge Reese $112 to get his nomination, while under the con vention Judge Letton was nominated at an expense of $32 91. Yet H. J. Wlnnett spent $131 for his nomination for. railway commissioner, while Henry T. Clarke only spent $18.60 for his nomination under the primary. Under the convention system John B. Raper spent $38.60 for the nomina tion of Judge of the First district, while under the primary he received the nomina tion at an expense of $19.81. In the Fifth district Judge Oood spent $16 under the rlmary and $6.15 under the convention plan. In the Twelfth district FJ. O. Hos tetler spent $32 for a nomination under the convention system and only $11.12 under the primary. H. M. Grimes In the Thir teenth district spent $140 under the conven tion system and only $10 to run at the prl- In the Tenth ut $115.60 under the primary, -while -under- tbe convention systera.lt cost him -only $4.05!

White, In the same district spent $3.60 while running before the convention and $ltf.60 at the pri mary. W. H. Westover spent $24.90 before the convention in the Fifteenth district and $20 at the primary, while J. J. Harrington spent $20 at the primary and $8.10 before the convention. The comparisons are taken from the records on file In the office of the secretary of state, where candidates submitted their names at the primaries this year and before the conventions four years ago. Following are the expense ac counts filed today by candidates at the primaries: No Oil at Burnham. The oil well at Burnham has been aban doned and no more will workmen dig there tor John D.

A chemical examination by Prof. Avery and Dr Clark of Sutton of the stomach of Richard Lawless of Fillmore compeny. who died recently under Suspicious clrcum omnces, nas just been concluded at the Laboratory of the Slate University. No poison was found there having time enough eiapsed after taking and before death for the poison If there was any, to have been completely diffused throughout the body uno thing however was determined thut will be of Interest to coroners and prose cutors. An exhaustive analysis was made of a specimen of one of the representative ambalmlng fluid and Is was found com posed of deodorised formaldehyd and water and a small proposition of essential oil 'of the nature of oil of cinnamon, but no traces of arsenic, correslve sitbltmate, or any of the alkaloydal poisons. Therefore In cases of suspected poisoning. It will be safe or coroners to have the stomach. Its contents. part o the liver, etc, even ater embalming. removed with the certinty that the embalm ing process will not lnterere with an ana lysis. To make all things secure It would be a safe precaution to have a specimen of the embalming fluid used also retained for analysis. i i m ii LUTHERANS SHOWING GROWTH Reports at Synod at Grand Island Reveal Church In Good Condition, GRAND ISLAND.
