AN ERRlNG BROTHER.

be long remembered by all present. For
the first time the iron nerves Of the Nice
ly boys gave away and perceptible
tremor WAS noticed in their faces The
look Of blank amazoment that spread
over the faces of the counsel for the de-
fense showed how much Of a surprise the
verdict was 10 them. Notice was prompt
ly given that 4 motion for new trial
would be made, and the famous Umber-
ger triad was at a close for the present.
At the afternoon session a motion for 4
new trial was formally made, for the fol-
lowing alleged reasons
lst. The verdict was against the evi-
dence.
2d. The Court erred in its charge on
the points in the case and on the law Of
the case.
81 The jury did not take time to
properly consider the evidence.
4th. The behavior OF the audience.
9TH. That Mr. Cessna had dwelt i'm
properly on some of the facts
9th. Because Of facts learned last
evening after the case had been given to
the jury.
The motion was directed to be COM
pleted within ten days from to-day.
The stenographer was instructed to
write out and file his notes Of testimony
taken during trial.
There was no expression Of opinion in
the court room at the time of the verdict
The verdict is considered a righteous one
and meets with very general approval.
1t is expected that the counsel for the
prisoners will make a determined fight
for the lives OF the prisoners and the last
Of the case is not yet.
The scene at the Somerset House this
morning when the news Of the convic-
ton ofthe Nicely boys was received was
one to touch the heart and excite the
sympathy ofthe most bitter denunciator
Of the murderers Of Herman Umberger
The wives and aged mother of the pris
oners have been at the hotel al
week. A messenger was sent 10 the
court house and as soon as the verdict
was announced sped back to the hotel.
No thought Of verdict which would
condem their loved ones to the gallows
had evidently crossed the brains Of these
poor women, and their heartrending cries
when they realized the awful truth,
brought the tears to the ewes of more
than one strong man.
In the cases against Rev. Amos Sell,
charged with rape, adultery, fornication
and bastardy, the prosecutrix, Susan Gus
ter, was put upon the stand, and told her
story. after which the court instructed
the district attorney to enter a Holis pros
e7ui in the rape case, and the reverend
gentleman then plead guilty to the
charges of adultery, and fornication and
bastardy. The court asked the preacher
what he had to say why sentence should
not be passed on him. Mr. Sell said in
extenuation that he was but human
ras a poor man, and unable to pay a
arge fine; thathis wife was in bad health
aRd his family suffering" The Court
then sentenced him to pay a fine of SO,
to pay to the prosecutrix $50 for lying-in
expenses, TO pay the costs of prosecution
and to undergo Imprisonment in the
county Jail for period of six months.

MRS. MAcKAY'S LIBEL SUIT

People who smile at the idea tina
Mrs. Mackay has brought suit TO
libel against an English paper tina
charged her with being washer
woman. do not understand the diff
erence between sentiment in Eng
land and America or the peculiar
scope of the libel laws in the old
country.
There is wide gulf in England
between those who work for a liv-
ing and those who can afford the
luxury of idleness. The press may
talk as it will about the dignity of
labor, etc, but no woman living
likes to run dirty shirts up and
down the corrugatIons of wash
board, and if she were ever COM
PEELED to, she does not like to have
the matter publicly paraded in the
columns of the newspapers.
In England anything which tends
to annoy anyone or bring persons
into public contempt, is libel,
whether true or not. While the
term "washerwoman" is not re-
garded as q pleasant epithet in
America, it is positively term of
approbium in England.
There is a great deal OF caste
there, and all trades and occupa-
tons below the nobility are not
highly regarded, while any mental
occupation is considered mental and
treated as such In America a
man who sells goods for living
can minlle with anyone he chooses
if he is an educated, well bred man,
but a man in England who Is "in
trade" cannot mingle with any So
ciety he chooses.
Mrs. Mackay. while in England,
has moved in society and gwen
some very lavish entertainments to
titled people, and no lady reccg-
nized as a society woman wants 10
be written up IN the papers as hav- !
ing been compelled to wash for
living. The fact that thousands Of /
other people, who are peers of any
body living, might have been COM
PEELED by stress of circumstances to
do the same thing, cuts no figure.
Let the editor of any American pa
per pick out the wife of some
wealthy man and print paragraph
that she once had to take in wash
ing, and see how quickly there will
be an assault and battery case IN
the police court.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY

For some reason or another not
vet made public, Leroy Brown, the
President of the University has
been calleed upon to resign by the
Board of Regents.
For some time past there has
been q war going on between the
teachers of the University. and il is
about time the public knew some
thing regarding it. The institution
belongs TO the taxpayers Of the
State, and they have an interest in
it's welfare.
The APPEAL IS of the opipion
that the institution as it now stands
is utterly useless to the people OF
the State. The State is not old
enough Tor a University. much less
for one, the curriculum Of which is
Of 90 low grade that it is not as
good as the public schools of Reno.
Another reason for not needing a
University is the existance of num-
erous institutions in California
where young men and young women
can be thoroughly educated. State
pride may influence man to con-
siderable extent, but it will not in
Huence q father to send his children
to a home institution if he can 90
few miles further and secure a bet
tar education for the same or even
more money.
The importation of Mr.. Brown
from the East was a mistake. He
is q very pleasant and educated
gentleman. but he lacks experience
in the West. He does not know
how to deal with Western young
men and Western people, and in
this respect he is deficient. although
his knowledge Of Greek roots may
be A No. 1. A Pacific slope man
ought to be at the head of the Unit
vsrsity il it continues to run. but if
il does no better in the future than
il has in the past, the next Legisla-
tur. ought to abolish it. 1t has a
large and expensive corps OF high
salaried teachers; far too many in
the opinion of the people for the
limited number OF scholars who at
tend the institution.

any light on the inside of the quar-
rel among the faculty. the APPEAL

ton.

which | would like to say something, but
am admonished that it would not be pru-
dent at this time. AS statesman, political
and domestic economist. As colonizer, or
ganizer and reformer all the world may
know him if they choose; but as prophet,
leader and inspired, humble, devoted man
of God, only those who have known him
personally or through the revelations of the
Lord can understand the unreasonable
love in which the saints held and still hold
him.
Who that has experienced the wonderful
powers of magnetism with which God en-
dowed him, can ever forget its influence.
Are there not thousands here to-day whose
flesh seemed electrified and the very mar
row TO melt in their bones when listening
to the word OF the Lord as it came through
him?
To others he largely left the process of
argumentative reasoning to establish truth
He boldly announced it as fresh from the
mint of heaven and left his hearers to as
certain if they wished why it was truth.
Earnest, watchful and prayerful none
whom l have known seemed to have the
| faculty or inspiration of getting so near the
Lord in prayer as could he. The graceful
dignity of his personal presence was eX-
ceedingly captivating, and the sympathy
almost constantly exercised toward the
weak and i'll seemed to win all hearts. En-
tering house, at glance he was able to
comprehend the inmost springs operating
! the emotions of pain or pleasure. How
quickly he could detect the signs of illness
of body or mind. A hint, word, a glance
OF the eye and he knew it all How many
grateful hearts remember even now

realizing that the refusal must be founded
in wisdom. The least GOODNESS on the part
of friend would be detected by him in a
moment, and the cause inquired into. If
he was compelled to disappoint anyone,
how kindly he could explain the reason for
doing so. And yet, with all his tender
ness, how terrible was his rebuke when
moved upon by the Holy Ghost.
He was quick; he recognized merit and
humbly paid homage 10 goodness wherever
found. In the streets of London he fer
ventiy stood with head uncovered before

thought ever entered his heart to place the
youth of Zion under his ban of suspicion

been said that glance of his penetrating
eye has checked the evil design in the
murderers heart and caused the hand of
the assassin to drop nerveless by his side,

A TERRIBLE JORUM.
How Southside Druggist Treated Bad
Case of Cramps.

How Southside Druggist Treated a Bad
Case of Cramps.
Jacob johnson walked into the drug store
kept by John s. Hunter. 1926 Carson street,
Southside. His face was sad and distorted,
the very picture of agony. Holding his side
with both hands, he exclaimed: "I'm badI"
The druggist queried the nature of his
suffering. He stammered something about
cramps, and asked the druggist for little
concoction to relieve the pain. He limited
that he was not averse to taking a COM
pound with a "stick" in it.
The druggist was moved to sympathy, and
bid the man be seated.
He then proceeded to take down, one by
one, some mysterious green bottles. First
poured into the glass quarter of an ounce
of tinture of cayenne pepper, then half an
ounce of tincture of camphor, then half an
ounce of tincture of ginger and half an
ounce of essence of peppermint. He then
handed it to the man, who took it with an
unsteady hand and drank it down in one
mouthful.
The man, who said he was bad, apparently
lost his breathing power. He fell to the
floor, and for half an hour swept the drug
store with his new Sunday suit. The drug
gist finally rendered glass of water to the
sufferer, and then politely escorted him to
the sidewalk. When asked why he had
mixed up such wicked dose, Mr.. Hunter
smiled dreamily, and remarked that Law
and Order spies were entitled to different
treatment from the balance of humanity.
