the question, which was raised 10y u

case by ~irstructing the Jury to return
u verdict of acquittal, was resumed
Tuesday morning, having Leen started
late Wednesday afternoon.
1t was on tho meaning OF the term

The decision of the society OF the

has brought up u serious question

are the words used i'm the deed. As

will rightfuily revert to the heirs Of

either this must he the case or the So

Perhaps the most remarkable dinner
on record was that given by an anti

that ripened more than 1900 years age,

the children Of Israel passed through
the Red Sea, and spread with butter
that was made when Elizabeth vas
Queen OF England. The repast was
washed down with wine that was old
when Columbus was playing with the
boys OF Genoa. The apples were from
an earthen jar taken from the ruins
OF Pompeii. The wheat was taken
from a chamber In one of the pyramids,
the butter from q stone shelf In an
old well In Scotland. where for Q
al centuries It had lain In an earthen
crock In Icy water, and the wine was
recovered from an old vault In the city

Attorneys who are interested in tho
many suits involving the validity Of

attendance at the sitting Of the su-
preme court. They hope the court will
hand down decisions in some of the

who came from omaha have gained

a proposed amendment for q none
tary commission, which, IL is gener-
ally understood. will be introduced in
both Senate and House a. soon as The
tariff bill shall be out of the way, has
been increased. Mr.. Reed has been
strongly urged TO permit consideration
OF the bankruptcy and the monetary
commission bills while the tariff bill
Is pending in conference on the ground
that both Of these measuiTs are of
prime Importance and under the cir
cumstances could not be considered as
interfering in any manner with the
lassage OF the tariff bill itself.
There Is u persistent demand from
all portions of the country for the pas.

known that both President Mckinley
and Secretary Gag, are anxious hat a
commission to formulate u bill for the
reform Of the currency shall be Sc

may bc brought before Congress when

threats from the free silver Democrats

avail, but IL Is understood the presi.
dent is anxious that the effort shall be
made and that the responsibility for

Speaker Reed, it is stated, has dc.
slined to give any assurance that he

that Mr.. Reed may iiud a way to per.

himself from the steamship Scott while
IL was on its way from Cnpo Town to

The first report Of tho suicide Of the
renowned Spectator came late last
night from Funchal, Island OF Ma.
dc"ia. and simply announced that he
had lcapcd overheard and had persisted
before anything could be done to res
cue him. but tho body had been re.
covered.
Tbs morning the officials OF tho
Union Steamship company, to which
the steamer Scott belongs, confirmed
tho report OF tho suicide, and in con
sequence there was u great sensation
IN financial circles. His Office hero
was besieged this morning by hun.
dreds of eager inquirers, and even
then his firm had not received con.
frmation of the ncws.
Throymorton street was filed with
cycitol crowds of brokers discussing
She news OF T~arnato's death. His self,
destruction is generally supposed to
have been the outcome OF his recent
illness ut the Cape, which, according

was in the nature Of brain trouble.

New York, June i0.-"Earncy IL

last night under the ocean and over
the wires from Johannesburg to Miss
Alice Holbrook, sistcr-in-law Of Bar.
rcy Barnato, the Kafiir king.
The news OF the death came from q
sister who ranks in age between Mis-,

in Cape Colony. From Madeira, where
the ship touched, the death message

Earlato was best known.

KANSAS CITY, NO., June 1G.-A en-.
sation is promised in connection with
the pay rolls of the Santa Fe railway
system.
Officials Of tho company have
pected for some time that fictitious
names and tho lame Of dead men
have been carried on tho pay rolls.
They recently began an investigation
Of tho time books on the entire sys-
ten. The investigation Is now in
progress In the general Offices OF the
company Mt Topeka and will not be
finished for several wceka II Is
rurnored that the company has been
robbed Of thousands Of dollars through
padded" pay rolls, and when the in
vestigation Is ended the discharge and
possibly tho criminal prosecution OF
several minor officials Is expected to
follow.
The investigation a brought about
by the report of the secret service de.
partment Of tho Santa Fe, which
claimed TO have secured proof that one
Official had robbed the company Of
several Thousand dollars by drawing
the salaries Of several fictitious EN-.
ployes whose names appeared
on tho pay rolls The Off.
cial was quietly discharged after
making good the amount of
his shortage. II was then determined
to make tho investigation thorough
and complete, covering the whole sys-
TEN, because II was believed II the
company could be robbed by one
trustel employo it might just o. easily
be defrauded by many others
The secret service department
Of the Santa Fe is working on
the investigation in connection
with the auditing Office. Pro-
gress Is necessarily slow, because
where any crookedness is suspected
the detectives have to investigate and
ascertain il tho supposed fictitious
names were the names Of employees
actually in the employ Of ths eom-
pany.

and simple method. which has FREE
