Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bit
ters. This medicine does not stimu-
late and contains no whiskey nor other
intoxicant, but acts as tonic and al
terative. It acts mildly on the
stomach and bowels, adding strength
and giving tone to the organs, there
by aiding nature in the performance
of the functions. Electric Bitters is
an excellent appetizer and aids diges-
ton. Old people find it just exactly
what they need. Price fifty cents and

be done in any other way, he, Peck,
would do it by divulging alleged rela-
tions existing between attorney and
client. Mr.. Dolliff called the proceed
ure, on the part of Mr.. Peck, an un-
heard of action, and said that it tend
ed to prove the unfaithfulness and
the other charges made against him in
the petition, very strongly.
The attorney for the petitioner then
made careful analysis of the evil
dence given at the trial, tending to
show that after the defendant had
testified no oath was administered to
him; upon the trial, that Mr.. Peck, in
sort of cross-examination and catch
question, asked the defendant if he
made the affidavit in good faith, to
which the defandant answered "yes, I
signed my name in good faith," which
modified answer the Supreme Court
held was sufficient to show that Madi-
gan was swearing to the affidavit by
implication. The fact that Mr.. Peck
reiterated these facts in his affidavits,
Attorney Dolliff contended, showed
that the question to Madigan on the
witness stand, was done Intentionally
on his part and for the purpose of Sc
curing the conviction of his client.
The attorney for the petitioner also
took the position that the offering of
the evidence by the State of several
witnesses for the prosecution, whereby
the State proved that the defendant
was employed by Helgeson to COM
mence the action and that Romnes,
in his evidence, admitted that he au-
thorized Helgeson to do so, was suffi-
cient to prove that the employment of
Madigan prior to the attachment pro-
ceedings, was a good employment, ,and
proved the innocence of the defend
ant; that the prosecution, contrary to
all rules of evidence, impeached its
own witnesses by an irrelevant ques-
ton and answer in this: in asking
Romnes if he authorized Helgeson to
employ Madigan for him, and Peck
allowing the question and answer
without objection.
Another fall was taken out of At
torney Peck by Mr.. Dolliff, who
claimed that the commencement of
the action in chief, which was materi-
al, was not proved by the original
summons in the action, which was not
put into evidence, and if it was it
would have proved the innocence of
the defendant, or it would have shown
that Madigan was the attorney in the
action. The attorney cited a number
of cases to sustain his position, and in
an interview, after the arguments had
been submitted, he felt very confident
of a favorable decision, if not in the
district court, certainly in the Supreme
Court, where the case will 60, in case

In the Spring young mans fancy lightly

AS the editor tore off the March 31st
leaf from his Columbia calendar yes
terday morning he was startled by the
above gushing lines printed at the top
of his April 1st leaf. He locked out
or attempted to look out the plate
glass window, covered with frozen ic-
icles and snow, listened to the wind
whistle down through the chimney
and stove-pipe, saw the ground COW
cred with foot or more of snow, re-
called his wading through huge drifts
of the beautiful, in instances reach
ing his neck, heard the click and CRATE
OF the snow shovel on the sidewalks,
and then wondered whether it was not
the best or meanest kind of an April
fool joke.
1t was a whirlwind, genuine blus-
tering, blizzardy blizzard right from
Blizzardville. It started in with a
rain about II o'clock Monday evening.
1t continued raining until the average
cistern was nearly filled, or rather un-
til about five o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. Then a snow commenced fall
ing. 1t, started out lightly but by
eight o'clock in the morning it came
down in huge chunks. 1t was a heavy,
wet snow-that kind of snow that
packs like cake of ice after it reach
es the ground. 1t was accompanied
by northeast wind and to the tune
of that power it danced and cavorted
around like group of children just
out of school. Occasionally there were
brilliant flashes of lightning, then
deep peals of thunder, and the inhab-
itants of this region declared that
they had never before heard it thun-
der, see it lightning, and snow before.
Along toward noon it commenced
growing colder. The snow was light
or. The appearance of a genuine
blizzard was more perceptible. Hail
stones fell every now and then and
beat against the plate glass windows,
playing the merriest kind of a glass
frolic. The screams of geese that had
proceeded far to the north on Sunday
and Monday we're heard high above,
going south, all Tuesday afternoon
and all Tuesday night. The storm
kept up its fury all Tuesday night
and was still at it when this article
was written Wednesday morning, al
though snow was not falling at that
time.
Quite bit of seeding was done
Monday. Of course, seeding was de-
layed week by the terrific storm of
the past few days. One thing is cer-
tain-farmers will not be crying for
moisture this spring.

WILSON A POOR MARKSMAN
Fires Five Shots at John Martig, but Fails
to Hit His Man,
HIS INTENDED VICTIMS AIM is BITTER
Makes Connection Bctwccn Wilson's
Head and II Beer GLASS the First
Try-AiI Parties Landed in
the Police station.

William WILSON, a hostler for James Ste
pheusou gave up his job at the stable yes-
terday noon and was paii Off. He imme-
diately started in to celebrate the occasion
after his own fashion, and about o'clock
in the evening wu.t into the saloon kept by
Emil Gall, corner Tenth and Douglas streets,
and ordered a number of drinks. After a
time he became very noisy AMI the Tar
keeper, John Martig, went to the table where
he was drinking and demonstrated with him
upon his conduct. Wilson took great otfCuSe
at the interference of the barkeeper and be-
came so violent that Martig called number
of bystanders to assist him and elected VIII
aon from the saloon.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Wilson again ap
peared at the saloon, and going up to the
bar called for a Elaes of beer. 1t was handed
to him by Martig, whereupCu Wilson callei
him an obscene name and drawing re-
volver from his pocket fired point blank at
his adversary. Ess aim however, was un-
certain the bullet going wide of the mark
and striking a mirror back Of the bar, shat
tered it into small fragments. Martg dodgci
behind the bar and grasping a beer glass
hurled 1t at his assailant. Wilson was struck
upon the head by the lyrg schooner, but
never ceased to fire at his opponent until
his revolver was empted Martig in the
IltuullIllt udu uluppcu " thN hpN' t'hi''b ''N
bar in an effort to get out Of range.
AXel FodenbaCk, who chanced to be stand
ing near, grappled with Wilson, and knock
ing the weapon out of his hand, threw him
to the floor. He was then assisted by the
proprietor OF the saloon and a number of
Others and in few minutes Wilson had
the appearance of having just passed
through corn shelter. Officers arrived on
the scene and placed all parties under ar
rest
Wilson was taken to the police station
in an nsensible condition and upon exam
ination it was found that he had sustained
a number of cuts on the head, one of them
several inches in length. He was attended
by the city physician and after having his
wounds dressed was locked up. His in
juries are not serious.
Wilson formerly lived in Seward Neb.,
having removed to Fremont about two
months ago from which place he came to
Omaha. He worked for James Stephenson
for about month and resigned yesterday
of his own accord. He had the reputation
of being a hard working, Industrious, quiet
fellow, except when under the influence of
liquor, and at these times becomes violent.
