Be- brought In this morning.
The Cuthbert girl claimed that while
she was In the employ Of the defendants,
and Was pregnant as they well knew, she
was 20 mistreated By Mrs. Spur and her
little boy that In January last she was de-
iivered OF dead child. was rendered III
and unable to earn her living for months
and suffered greatly in mind and body.
Her mishap she attributed to the kicks
and blows she Was compelled 20 suffer
from the little boy. Among the other
allegations she made in her complaint was
that she was not humansly cared for By
the Spurs.
In this story, which she repeated on the
stand. she was corroborated In part by the
midwife who had attended her after she
was removed from the Spur residence.
Her own sister. Mrs. Robertson, did not
remember the facts - her sister did and
gave such evidence tor the defendants that
she was accused by the plaintiff Of being
bought OF by them.
Mrs. Spur, who 10 Q very modest APP
pearing young woman, was on the stand
for several hours in the afternoon. She
made an unqualified denial OF the whole
story told by the Cuthbert woman. The
facts were. she said, that the girl had tried
70 perform q criminal operation upon her
self aud had not been successful. As
result she had come near to killing herself
As well - an iliegitlmate child.
To prove the assertion and to show
that the case was only an attempt at
blackmaii, letters from the weman to Mrs.
Spur were placed In evidence. In one of
these, written from Maple Valley before
the suit was brought. the woman admitted
killing her own child and expressed regret
for the deed. In the same letter she writes
in the most grateful manner Of the treat
ment she received At Mrs. Spurs house.
In another letter, written after the suit
was brought, she asked Mrs. Spur for
money to compromiss the suit. The tes-
timony Of the remaining witnesses for the
defense corroborated the story Of Mrs.

J. STERLING NORTON.

The selection of J. Sterling Morton,
of Nebraska, by President Cleveland,
as Secretary of Agriculture, gives recog-
milton to one of the boldest free traders
that the Democratic party in the west
knows. He has never wavered in his
belief and declaration on that point,
and one that may be found consistent
always. Personally he is popular and
worthy gentleman, and not trace of
lodging about him on any question.
In an interview Saturday he said:
81 am opposed to the Hatch anti-op-
ton bill. What the farmers of this
country most need is protection from
their alleged friends. The farmers need
a change in some of their ideas, and
they would be materially benefited by
certain kinds of education. 1t is gen.
orally said and believed that the farm
ers are the instigators and supporters
of the Hatch anti-option bill. In my
opinion they should be its most vigor-
Gus opponents. The produce exchanges
and boards of trade which this bill is
intended to destroy are of great advant-
age to the producers of grain. am

They Say


That this peculiar sort of weather is
unpleasant and is the cause of maEy
ailments.
That the new Whittier school is one
of the finest buildings in the state. 1t
adds much to the appearance of Fifth
ward.
That the approaching city election is
an all-absorbing topic of conversation
now, and that everything indicates that
full city vote will come out.
That the authorities are talking about
an early spring. Let it come. We will
be able to get in our paving work that
much earlier.
That the Central round house has been
formally opened and hostler Joe Schafer
is now able to care for his new charges
under cover.
That the young people have had a
ceaseless round of winter sports this
season. Sleighing, coasting and skating
were never better than during the win
ter just passed.
That there is an unusual amount of
illness throughout the country at pres
ent. Grippe and chronic sore throat
seem to be having special run.
That travel is very light on the rail
roads at present. Baggageman Myers,
of the Rock Island, handled only thir-
teen pieces, in and out, Friday,-the
lightest days business in many months.
That this is a good time to lay in a
supply of coal to last over the muddy
days of spring.
That the new Masonic building has
resumed its growth and will now go
rapidly forward to completion.
That number of new stores are open
ing up with the buds of spring, which is
another evidence of the city's healthy
growth.
That although there has been a great
amount Of water on the streets during
the recent thaw, the condition has been
much above the average and there has
been some excellent work done in drain
ing away the surface water.
That spring building is already in
hand and several new residences are in
course of erection in various parts of
the city.
That the Comstock park will be a
great pleasure resort this summer, and
that it fills long felt want"
That Oskaloosa stands at the head of
the class when elegant and palatial
stores are considered, and people who
are competent as ldges say so.

How 1t Became Popular.

When peple find an article much supe-
riOr to anything of the kind they have
ever before used, they are almost sure TO
tell there friends about it, and especially
if they know of some friends needing such
an article. Dealers soon learn the true
value of their goods, and when they have
an article of unusual merit they will al
most invariably mention the fact to their
customers. This accounts in great meas
ure for the large sale on Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Here is an iTStG nee: W.
l.. Needham, prominent citizen and bus
iness man of OTrsburg, Mo, has been SELL
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for sey-
eral years and recommends it to his Gus
toners, because in his experience it has
proven to be the best for colds, Group and

Sister Mary Lease.

This Joan of Kansas is now on her
way to Washington to attend the Silver
League meeting. In Chicago the good
sister was interviewed by the Inter
Ocean and was as breezy as Kansas
Prairie. She was of the opinion that
all the Kansas militia should have been
killed for not obeying the unlawful or
ders of Gov. Lewelling, and expressed
herself in a way that left nothing more
to be said.
Had officers in the Union army been
guilty of such Infamous conduct they
would have been shot before sundown.
Iregard the rebellion of the State militia
as one of the worst blows the State has
yet received from any and all sources" ."
Mary evidently does not know what
kind of an oath a militiaman takes
when he dons the blue.
Onthe pending legal question she says:
"If the Supreme Court declares the
Populist House illegal, then it may up
set the election of Martin, and we may
yet get Middle of the Road Populist.
/ was bitterly:.Opposed to Martin and
fought him because he was Democrat.
I would rather we had been fairly beat
en- than to have won by electing Dem
ocrat, although, personally, | have no
criticism to make of John Martin. He
is able and honest but a democrat, and
therefore a member of party that is a
menace to good government, free speech
and independent citizenship. 1t is also
in as cl, Sc a league with Wall street as
the republican party ever was"
OF Hoke Smith she has an opinion.
Hear her trumpet:
81 see Hoke Smith has been rewarded
by Cleveland for his dirty work against
the peoples party in the south. 1t was
this same HOke Smith who had a man
following General Weaver and myself
in the campaign when the eggs were
thrown at us. The methods pursued
by this brilliant young blackguard
stamped him as man utterly devoid of
all elements of decency, and yet he is
just the man for 'RefOrmer' Cleveland
to call into his private cabinet. sup
pose that he will find congenial friend
in Judge Gresham, whose conduct dur
ing the Omaha convention showed
clearly that he wanted to wreck the
party in the north. He had his reward,
the same as HOke Smith; they will
make good chums."
She don't like Sterling Morton for she
says:
From the class of men Cleveland is
surrounding himself with there is no
trouble to predict the fiat failure of his
administration. Another strong selec-
tion is J. Sterling Morton for the Agri
cultural bureau, who starts in on the
theory that farmers are fools; that they
need to be taught if they would pay
more attention to agriculture and less
to financial policies they would prosper
more rapidly. And one of the first
things he says the farmer has fool ideas
about is the option dealing of the boards
of trade. He is quoted as saying the
farmers don't know what is good for
them when they oppose such things. 1t
may be that by the time J. Sterling
Morton gets four years of the Agricul-
tural bureau he will be older if not
wiser"
And then Mary gathered her grip anu
went into a monopolistic Pullman, and
pulled out for Washington. Mary Lease
is one of the great Drained women of
the day, and has gift of OratOry far
beyond any other public speaking wom-
an.

two hours explaining the condi-

The statement of Secretary Foster was
to the effect that there was no occa-

but he admitted that the situation was
one demanding serious consider,
alton and that his estimates OF

that there would be a surplus in the
treasury July l next of nearly ST.

the condition of the treasury fixed the
surplus at $50. OOO 600
