DUESTROW GUILTY.
r,s St. Louis Millionaire Murderer
 Convicted.
,,. Pie, of Insanity Did Not Work In Ills Case-Only One Ballot Required for the Jury to Reach Yer
 dict.

.-x,oy. Mo-. Feb. 3.-The celebrated asa of pr. Arthur Duestrow, the St.
 I,uis millionaire who has been on ,r,al during the past month for the sn,d.blooded murder of his wife and t,hv boy two years ago, ended yester- day the jury returning n verdict of ru;ltv in the first degree. After argu- rents that took up the greater part of saturday and lasted until almost mid rirht. the case was given to the jury, ,be members of which went to rest without considering it. Sunday morn- inc the jury took up the case and on ,be first ballot unanimously found the defendant guilty of murder in the first decree. The result was reached with mi much trouble, each member of the iurv seemingly having settled the case in his own mind in the interval be- tween midnight and morning. This verdict is received with almost uni. yersal satisfaction.
 This is the second trial that Dr. nuestrow has had on the charge of murder, the first one resulting in a hung jury last year. The terrible crime with which he was charged was committed in February, 1894. One day that month his wife and child were at home awaiting his coming to take h drive. When he came into the house, Duestrow, who was drunk, began to abuse his wife and finally shot her down in cold blood. He then picked up his three-year-old boy, beauti. tul child, and, holding it at arms length, killed it with pistol shot through the head. His wife fingered for several days and finally died.
 After the arrest, Duestrow, with the help of his fortune, tried to evade the consequences of his crime. EX-Gov. Johnson, who is credited with being one of the ablest criminal lawyers of this state, was given charge of the case, and was assisted by Col. Nat Dry der, Charles Noland and J. Wesley Booth. Prosecuting Attorney Zachritz, Of St. Louis, was assisted by Judge Bolte, prosecuting attorney of Frank lin county, Judge Gallenkampand Lee Merriwether Counsel for the defense endeavored to establish a plea of in sanity, but after two inquiries held be- fore juries, in which much expert tes- tmony was heard on both sides, it was given up and the case came to trial in Union, change of venue hav- ing been taken from St. Louis. The first trial ended in a hung jury.
 Throughout the last trial before Judge Hirzel, Gov. Johnson and his assistants kept up the insanity plea, and were ably seconded by the de. iendant, who endeavored to create the impression that he was crazy. When the result of the jury's deliberations was made known Sunday, Duestrow's counsel said an appeal to the supreme court would be made. Duestrow re. ceived the verdict calmly. He sat smoking a cigarette as the judge read the paper handed by the jury. As fai as external appearances went, he was the coolest man among the 25 lawyers, reporters and citizens assembled in the cOurt room

The Managers.

Managers are an ill-used race; they have bad name which they do not al- ways deserve. Considering all things, 1t is small wonder that their tempers are occasionally short; the wonder rather is that they are as good fellows as they are. remember, in my salad days, asking an actress of some ex- perience what sort of folk managers were to deal with. "My dear," she said, impressively, "they're angels if you're making money for them, and they're the very devil if you aren't" :" However this may be, they certainly are not, as is so often represented, im- previous to or jealous of rising talent Like the equally maligned race of publishers and editors, they are quite awake to the value of good thing when they find it. So many people dabble with the stage nowadays, with no intention of taking it up seriously, that no wonder managers are apt to be sceptical of genius in the bud. Mac millan's Magazine.

Time and Tide,

''Time and tide wait for no man." saith the adage but there are many other things of the non-waiting kind which will not be put of and ought not to be. Half the mis- cry of the world is caused by delay, and Rheumatism is one of those fnsidious ills which demands prompt attention, especially in mid winter, when the cold accelerates it's action and dintensifiesr pain. If allowed to have it's way, it will wait 1or no man in its rapid development of the chronic stage. When this IS reached, then come troubles, not only in it's misery but in many ways where a helpless condition throws the sufferer out of work and money. But whether in it's acute, chronic or inflammatory stage, don't wait. The tide of pain will go on and so will loss of time. At the same time we all know that St. Jacobs Oil is made and sold Tor the express purpose of curing the worst cases in their worst form at any stage. It has cured and will cure in nine cases out of ten.
