Memory of an

Edward Porter Gets Excused from
Case in District Court on
Novel Ground.
tt being assumed thst a good cook Is a
rare article and Edward Porter a grateful
man, who shall ny that he ncted wronely
In district court Tuesday morning"
Porter was arcepted Monday afternoon
as a Juror In the suit nf Mrs. Bedells Ward
against the Aetnn 1 -If e Insurance com
pany. Mrs. Wsrd's son. Frank Ward, held
an accident policy for tl.GW. Prior to his
death he was hurt In a railroad accident,
and the plaintiff claims that the accident
caused his death, the dffense asserting
that It was due to Illness.
Mrs. Ward did not appear In court until
after Porter had ssorn that he did not
know either the plaintiff or anybody en the
other side. But when he a Mrs. Ward
he bocame troubled In mind.
"I've seen her somewhere," he said to
himself, but that was as far as memory
would assert itself. All night he thought
It over and conviction grew stronger that
he had known the plaintiff some time.
The breakfast table furnished the clue.
"These cakes aren't a good as Clara
used to bake, ' said Mr. Porter with a
Igh.
"I have it," said Porter.
"Have what?" asked hi wife.
Porter explained to her and then went
down town. When court convened he went
up and whispered In Judge Ktars' ear:
- "A daughter of the plaintiff ufed to be a
domestic In our hoursehold," he explained,
"and, as "he was the best cook that ever
waa, I guess 1 would be prejudiced."
He was excused.

NO DREDGING OF THE LAKE
Improvement at Cut-Off Postponed, as
Machinery is Costly. j
BIDS RECEIVED FOR WORK HIGH
I.OTrrst la Fifteen tenia a rd
nnd Itoaril Thinks It nnld He
moe llt for Fonr
tents.
On account of the great cost of dredging
machinery it is probable tint little work
will he done In the new l,rv Coiner park
this jcar. The park cnnimlsslnnrrs believe
the first work to be done should be tho
dredging of the lake. Dredging machinery
will post lai.oou or more and with this ex
penditure no money would be left for op
erations for the year.
Bids have been received for dredging, but
the lowest bid Is at 15 cents a yard. With
a machine owned by the board the work
could be done for ahout 4 cfntS a yard.
This would be a big saving In the long run
and the board therefore believes It would
he more than Justified In buying a dredge
Instead of having the work done under con
tract. "We propose dredging the entire lake and
piling the silt nn the lowlands, bringing
the whole park above the high water
mark." said Park Commissioner Cornish.
"There is no fertilizer as nutritious as sill,
and with this spread thickly over the land
trees and other vegetation would grow fas
ter than In tropical countries. We will
probably plant a few trees on the higher
ground where silt will not be spread, but
aside from this but little work will proba
bly he done In the park this year."
Cottagers In the pnrk will he Hllowed to j
remain there another season, paying rent

ownership, as heretofore.
Peculiar Facts
in Welsh's Data
Analysis of Work of Weather Man
for Month of April is
Interesting.
Colonel I,.v A. elsli, who mixes the
weather for Omaha and vicinity, got his
nerve together Monday and Issued a re
port of his weather dolnRS for the month
of April. The report comes out without
apology or regret, but It tells a number of
fact which are anything but compliment
ary to the man who would dish out such
weather to a helpless public.
According to the confessions of the fore-
j caster, there were but six clear days dur
I Ing the entire month, while the percentage
of sunshine, whatever that is, runs as low
as zero many das and is ION for only one
day of the entire month. The highest tem
perature was 83, on April and the low
est was 26. on the 8th of the month. Tho
greatost daily range during the month waa
on April 28. when the mercury tumbled 37
degree without half trying.
For the last thirty-nine years the govern
ment ha kept a record of the br-havlor of
the month of April In this locality, and the
average for that time Is a mean tempera
ture of 61.3 degrees. This year, however,
In spite of all that could be done, the mean
temperature for the month was only 46,
and It came very near not being that.
The report also shows that we are shy
on rainfall, and that since the first of the
year the deficiency Is more than an Inch
and a half. Whether or not Colonel Welsh
has taken steps to have this remedied the
report doe not state.
The prevailing direction of the wind for
the month Is stated to have been north,
which la no news to anybody. The total
movement of the wind Is given as 8.7'JO
miles, or about the same as the diameter
of the earth, ullhongh whether there Is
any connection in these facts is not stated.
A miscellaneous phenomena of the month
It is noted that there were no aurora bore
allseg, but In place there were supplied five
sun halos and one moon halo, two hall
storms, two fogs, bIx thunderstorms and
two frosts, which ought to do equally as
well.
The report fails to state that there were
no earthquakes, no tidal waves, no sun
strokes and no epidemic of Asiatic cholera.
