After being out all night the jury in the

in the second degree. The penalty for this
is from ten years to life imprisonment A
great manv ballots were taken before the
agreement upon this verdict was reached.
Several hung out for simple manslaughter,
for which the penalty would be from one TO

the talesmen put on after the regular venre

1892 the work Of repairing the viaducts had
been done partly by contract and partly by
day labor The main reconstruction of the
Sixteenth street viaduct had been done by
contract. The painting had been done by

had charged the railroads just exactly what
the work had cost it, He explained several
other items. showing that they were per-

WAY DOWN foURTeeNTHsTResT NOT CLEAR
Forty Feet of Ground Near the Old
Barbed Wire Factory Used to
Blockade the Progress
of the Tracks.

The hand OF the Omaha g. Council Bluffs
Railway and Bridge company has been
shown In opposition to the Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company in a little injunc-
tion suit just commenced by John A. Scott,
as trustee. the Omaha National bank and
the Omaha Loan and Trust company, to pre-
vent the Bridge and Terminal company
from going ahead and taking possession Of
a little fortyfoot strip running along the
old barbed wire works property west OF
Fourteenth street.
petition was presented by Scott's at
torney to Judge Fawcett after dinner yester-
day and temporary restraining order was
granted, the matter being set for hearing
at p. m. next Saturday.
The little forty-foot strip in dispute was
prvoided for when in 1887 John A. Horbach
sold the property now owned by the Omaha
National bank and the Omaha Loan and
Trust company to Mary Marshall, wife OF
the manager of the barbed wire works, NJ
N. Marshall. Fourteenth street has not yet
been cut quite through, but If It were
the strip would run at an acute
angle southerly into it. 1t is claimed that
1t has been the only means OF
ingress and egress for the prop
.erty. The Union Pacific had a
switch track running along it, but the other
Gay tne material OF the track was SOlu 10
the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company
and the latter was about to take possession; ;
In fact some work in this direction had al
ready begun. The old barbed wire works
plant is leased by the Orchard C Wilhelm
company as a warehouse.
The bearing this has upon the Fourteenth
street fight is plain. Should the Omaha
Bridge and Terminal company be shut off
by injunction 1t would keep 1t out of Four
teenth street. Right OF way through the
represented by Scott has been already Sc
cured by the Omaha Bridge and Terminal
company. The whole fight will be made on
the forty foot strip for the present.
The suit Is brought solely in the name OF
Scott as trustee in trust for the Omaha Ma
tional bank and the Omaha Loan and Trust
company and along with the Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company Vice President and
General Manager John r. Webster, Super
intendent Peter j. Nichols and the working
men employed on the right Of way in con-
troversy are made co-defendants. The
tracks Of the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha railroad run along the west side
of the land.
The basis of the suit Is that the strip has
been long used for a publ highway.

PECULIAR POISONS.

The Result of Imperfect Digestion

The Result OF Imperfect Digestion
of Food.
Every living thing. plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs Of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs Of dis
ease and death (called by scientists Ptom-
aines). are usually the result of imperfect
digestion Of food; the result of Indigestion
or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food The result Is heavy, sodden mass
which ferments (the first process Of decay

Bad digestion irritates the heart. causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
OF this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys. caus-
ing Br!ghts disease and diabetes.
And this Is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal and weak diges-
tion shows itself not only in loss Of appetite
and flesh. but In weak nerves and muddy
complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start In life Is sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity OF
digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric) and
peptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy In all cases Of indigestion, is to take
after each meal, one or two Of Stuarts Dys-

pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form OF stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

An olive oil mill and citric acid fac
tory is about to be erected by e. D.
Neff for Andrew McNally Of Chicago,
on the latter's fine place at La Mirada,
in Orange county. The building will
be of brick and cement, 60x100 feet in
size, and will cost $4,000. Over a
thousand acres of olive and lemon trees
have been planted at La Mirada with

1t has always been supposed that as
the potato Is native of the Rocky
Mountain regions, both of North and
South America, it was unknown in the
Old World, until after America was
discovered. This is probably true
enough, so far as our present stock of
potatoes was concerned, but the pota-
to has been known thousands of years
in China. 1t Is said to grow wild in
the regions of Western China near the
Tartary boundary. 1t is very largely
grown there, and divides with rice the
popular preference as an article of
food.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, writing from China,
notes two remarkable phenomena
which are manifesting themselves in
that country. One is the abandonment
Of the immemorial contempt for the
foreigner. The ignorant crowds in a
village will shout foreign devil" at an
Occidental, but among the more intelli-
gent classes there is a growing convic-
ton that they must learn the secret of
Western success. AS one step towards
It the Government Is establishing uni
versities at Pekin, Tien-Tsin and
Shanghai, where the English language
will be taught. There is also rapidly
increasing sale. of Western books and
the Government has even decided to
make questions in Western history and
science test for honors in the exam
ations. The other noteworthy fact is
the hospitality shown to the idea Of for
eigners taking possession Of important
parts Of Chinese territory. All of which
shows that a new life Is fermenting In
the centuries old Chinese Empire to
which the Western world will have to
give heed.

Americans have been surprised by
the evidence Of the hostility Of cont.
mental Europe to the stand this coun.
try has taken on the Cuban question
We have disclaimed a desire to annex
Cuba to the United States; we have nc
race, hostility to Spain or to Spaniards
we have left to ourselves no motive to
war, and nothing to gain by success
save to deliver the island from misrule
and barbarity. Yet we are described
throughout the continent as little bet
ter than briganda It would be oper
to us to retort, If It were worth while
that France, which has dismembered
Siam and seized Madagascar; thai
Russia, which has overrun Asia; tina,
Germany, which has carved slice of
China, which covets Samoa, which de
prived Denmark Of Schleswig- Holster
and France Of Alsace-L Lorraine: that
Austria Hungary, which took from
Turkey it's provinces of Bosnia and the
Herzegovina-that not one Of these
countries is in a position to reproact
us with territorial brigandage, II the
charge were true. OF course 1t Is not
that they are shocked at the thought
that we could contemplate taking pos.
session of Cuba. The explanation is
doubtless twofold. In the first place,
they do not relish the Idea of the Uni.
ted States having any part in European
politics. However ready they may be
to take territory from one another, or
from sovereigns whom they regard as
barbarians, they do not wish America
to dispossess one Of them Of one of its
colonies, even If it is not to take that
colony as it's own. But there Is some
thing much deeper than this. They are
all excessively Jealous Of Great Britain,
and Of its power In all parts Of the
world. They see that this war has
brought England and the United States
upon terms, not of alliance, but Of sym
pathy and friendship, which are better
than any paper alliance. Fortunately
their outspoken Ill will can do us no
harm. Not one Of them dares, and even
all OF them combined would hardly
dare, to put their hostility in practice,
SO long. as England stands ready-as
she seems to do-to be as active in our
behalf as they are against us. So the
friendship Of Great Britain at this time
is Of far more consequence to us than
is the yelled hostility Of all Europe.
Let us hope that John Bulls fine atti-
tude toward US may lead us all to
think of something beside our old griev.
ances against him.
