THE commissioner of pensions says
that while he has never held that ex-
Confederate surgeons are not eligible
as examiners on Us. pension boards he
thinks it would be better if they would
not apply for such places, in conse-
quence of the opposition to them in the
North. As the war between the States
has been over twenty-nine years, as for
amnesty has been granted to all ex-
Confederates, and as the citizens Of any
one State are now entitled to all the
rights and privileges belonging to those
of any of the others, why a man who
was a surgeon in the Confederate army
should not apply for the position as
medical examiner in the pension bureau
cannot be readily understood, at least
by the people whose votes enabled Mr..
Lochren to mold his position.

Wife Charg Husband With Wanting to Stay
Her and Throw Her in Slough.

Domestic disturbances of the beating
and kicking complexion have driven

court to consider their settlement.
She presented a petition yesterday, ask
ing for divorce, the custody of her child,
Grace, aged 8, and for $1,000 alimony as
well as the homestead and two dollars per
week for keeping the child.
She charges her husband, Albany D.
Lee with cruelty and neglect of duty. He
has neglected his duty, she alleges, by not
providing for his wife and child, and has
been cruel in that after ten years married
life he chokes, beats, kicks and maltreats
his wife
She alleges that in August, 1892, he
struck her across the back of the hand
with a clothes stick and manned her
hand. That in November, 1898, he choked
her and Threatened to kill her. saying, Il
will kill you and bury you out in the

EXCITING HYPNOTIC SCENE.

Justice Jones gave a wonderful demon
stration of mesmeric and hypnotic power
at Garfield hall last night. 1t was pro-
nounced better than any performance DR..
Flint ever gave here.
At one time he charged four or five of
his subjects with the idea that somebody
in the gallery had insulted them, and no
one ever saw such wild demonstrations of
anger. Finally for some reason he was
unable to keep them Oh the stage, and
with clinched fists aud gritted teeth they
made IA wild rush for the gallery. One
young fellow succeeded 10 getting there
and was about to pitch into the object of
his wrath when Constable Green captured
him. 1t took half the audience to hold
down two other young men who showed
terrible strength. 1t was the most excit-
ing thing of the kind anybody in the au-
dience ever saw.

speech by County Attorney Boone. He
| was loaded for bear. but he could not get
in all the points in the space of an hour
and WAS just sailing iu with some corkers
| when the justice called time. He asked
for fifteen minutes more, and Mr.. Amidon
granted it to him. adding that when he
asked for more time the county attorney
refused. Mr.. Boone stated that his I'M
preston was that Mr.. Amidon spoke
longer than his time. This brought on
controversy which ended in Mr.. Amidon
recalling his permission to allow Mr..
Boone to speak longer. Accordingly the
court told the county attorney that his
time was up.
Mr.. Boone was dressed up like bride
groom for the occasion and rs he advanced
towards the jury the young ladies in the
audience who noticed his youthful looks
and handsome appearance, were with him
from the start. They smiled aloud when
he got IN some clever roasts on the defense
aud they almost applauded against the
instructions of the court at the climax OF
his argument. If Willard had a jury OF
young ladies to try the case 1t would 60
hard with the defendants.
Mr.. Boone made one of the best speeches
OF his life, If not the best, and at its con-
ciusion he was complimented very highly
by those who listened to him, including
many ladies who took unusual interest In
the case. He brought out some strong
points in the case and cleverly handled his
weak points. His touching illusions TO
Mr.. Barber taking the harvest field TO get
money honestly TO take care of his invalid
wife went directly to the hearts of the jury
and doubtless had a great effect in many
OF them whom the defense tried TO preJu-
dice against Professor Barber Mr.. Boone
apparently recognized that it was neces-
sary to remove any prejudice that might
have existed against Professor Barber and
he did il nicely. He roasted not only the
defendants, but their attorneys without
mercy, all of which pleased A. II. Reed
who had been previously roasted by Mr..
Comfy for the defense. Among the other
things Mr.. Boone WAS unable to get before
the jury was handsome tribute to Judge
" all for his invaluable assistance to him
sell as well also the great personal efforts
he made for the public good.
Justice Jones submitted the case to the
jury at Az but SO great was the public
interest in the case, especially among the
ladies, that almost the entire audience re-
NAMED in the court room till q o'clock in
hopes of the jury returning with verdict.
The speeches of the lawyers wheJted their
interest in the case. and even last night
ladies as well as gentlemen stopped their
carriages in the street upon Seeing any
body whom they considered posted in the
case and inquired whether a verdict had
been reached yet.

Run PULL FORCE AGAIN.

All cars on the street railway were run
ming yesterday. For several days he SER
vice has been rather poor owing to the fact
that the big engine at the power station
was broken and full service was had only
on Topeka avenue.
Many rumors came out the day the
trouble happened, such as there being a
strike and other dire happenings.
The company have also made a few
changes. An extra car has been put on
Topeka avenue which makes a trip every
twenty minutes, and is called the ten
minute car, because il makes its trip ten
minutes after the regular stock yards car.
This car only runs to Tenth street. The
Riverside car which formerly went to the
stock yards now goes only 10 the corner of
Main aud Douglas.
