By the death of Gustav Freytag Ger
many has lost one of it's most eminent
novelists of the modern period. He
was born at Kreuzburg, and was edu-
Gated at the universities of Breslau
and Berlin, and after his graduation
devoted himself to the study Of Ger
man history and antiquity. He was
the great German champion Of the
middle classes and mercantile life. In
politics he was liberal, but not to an
extreme. He was a member of the
reichstag and enjoyed the confidence
of the late crown prince. He was poet,
Journalist and dramatist, and had
much success in the latter field.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Jury Finds A. A. EdgingtOn Guilty Of At
tempting to Defraud the Government.
CELEBRATED PENSION CASE IS ENDED
Accused Ipsists that His Story About See
ing the Body of Ills Father in
the Grave Was Not an
Invention.

Yesterday morning the jury in the case Of
the United States against A. A. Edgington
returned a verdict Of guilty after wrestling
for twenty-five hours. When the first ballot
was taken it stood, not guilty. 4; guilty, g.;
undecided, 1; blank, 1. 1t took twenty-seyen
ballots to decide. Wien the result was an
nounced the defendant did not appear sur
prlsed although II mao been generally sup
posed that there would be either an acquittal
or a disagreement His uncle, w. b. Cuppy,
who is also under indictment, seemed to be
suffering more from blues than he.
Some wonderment has been expressed as
to why 1t was that the attorneys for the de-
fense failed to put upon the stand the man
Keeney from LeMars, Mo-, who the defend
ant said was with him when his fathers re-
mains were exhumed. The attorneys give
different explanations. Edgngton sticks to
his statement made upon the witness stand
that his fathers body was buried in an in
ner coffin and an outer box, and that wire
was pulled of q neighborng fence and used
to pull the coffin out Of the grave He says
that II an investigation does not show that
the wire is still in the grave, where it was
thrown after being used, he will come back
into court and plead guilty as charged in the
indictment without any further trouble.
Steps will be Immediately taken to have
the case appealed to the supreme court. The
cases against w. b. Cuppy, G.. NJ. Cuppy
and Mrs. Jennie Edgington, growing out Of
the same transactions. have all been con-
tinued until the fall term of federal court.

Altgeld Says the Income Tax Decision
Shows the Bias OF the Court.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 1S.-Governor
Altgeld does not approve of the decision of
the United States supreme court regarding
the income tax law In an interview last
night he said the decision was biased in the
interest of the gold bugs and Wall street
millionaires. He referred to the holding of
the law to be void so far as 1t affects large
real estate owners and the rich bondholders
Of the east, and says this particular decision
recognizes the divinity of wealth by exempt
ing 1t from taxation and breathes a curse
against enterprise by making it bear all the
burdens Of the government.
But" says Altgeld, ut is in harmony
with that passage of scripture which says:
That unto every one that hath shall be
given. and from him that hath not, even
that he hath shall be taken away from him >
and 1t is in perfect accord with the republican
and mugwump theory of government now
being applied in this country. 1t shows that
the interests Of the east are paramount to
the interests of the rest of the country; also
that at least two Of the coordinate branches
of our government receive their inspiration at
the same altar"

MORGAN COURTS INVESTIGATION.
Has Confidence In the Fairness of the II House
of CommOns Regarding the seaIa.


of Commons Regarding the Seals.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Morgan
was asked today for an expression regarding
the report cabled from London that Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
had forwarded to his government full state
ment Of the facts in the matter of the pay
ment of the damages by this government for
the seizure of British vessels and replied that
he was perfectly willing to have the ques.
tion investigated.
II have" said he, "such confidence in the
fairness and good judgment of the British
House Of Commons that l feel that nothing
can be lost by its going into the matter at
length. 1 am very confident that an in
quiry into the merits of the claim, even on
the side of the Paris award. will convince
any one that the claims are entirely un.
founded, eXtortionate and wrong"
There is reason for believing that when
this question of payment of the damages
shall again come before congress the oppo-
nents of payment will make the point that the
claims are barred from consideration by the
terms OF the Paris award. member Of the
senate who has given considerable attention
to the seal question in all its bearings said,
in discussing the proposal to pay these dam.
age claims:
THE principles raised by the Bering sea
awards destroy the claims of Great Britain
to damages, for the seizure OF any ships
which before the date of the award were
found fishing within sixty miles Of the
Prbylof islands, or in Bering sea, with
guns, explosives or nets, or after May l, to
August l, in the Pacific ocean north of 35
degrees north latitude. Both governments are
bound to accept the enunciatons made by the
Paris commission as the measure of their
rights and duties on this subject, as applica-
BILE not merely since the making of the
award but before. 1t was the just and
equitable duty of Great Britain before the
award was made to do just what the award
required Of that country toward the United
States"
When Senator Morgan's attention was called
to this view of the question he declined on
account of his connection with the Paris
tribunal and with the senate to discuss It,,

George Martin, a farmer living just west
of Griswold, on the border between Cass and
Pottawattamie counties, was in the city yes
terday and stated that about three weeks ago
a gang Of surveyors passed his farm. They
ran line directly through his property, and
when he demonstrated with them the foreman
remarked that there was a railroad coming
that way, and he would get whatever his
land was worth, IL any OF 1t was taken. The
theory Of those who are acquainted with the
facts is that the Burlington is about to ex-
tend its branch from Cumberland to this
city, thus putting in a line through the CEN
ter of Pottawattamie county from east to
west. This sort Of move has been projected
by the company for a long time past.
