Judge Steele will adjourn the
term Of district court on SATURDAY.
evening, in order to keep his APP
pointment for the Latah county
term on the first Monday in Deem
Der. 1t is hardly possible for the
Judge to clear the calendar this
time, owing to the number and
length of the criminal cases which
have occupied so much of the
time OF the session. The trial of
Bud Holt, for grand larceny will
also have to go over till the next
term, but it is expected that the
young man will shortly be released
on bonds, so that the county will
not be put to the expense of board
ing him much longer. The SEES
sion has been a highly important
one, and Judge Steele has been on
the alert all the time to hasten
the business before him and to cut
down the expenses in a good many
directions.

MUST REPORT TO HER.
A Mysterious Young Woman Has
Charge Of Omaha's Firemen
and Policemen.

Over every telephone in Omaha, prob
ably, is posted this notice: "In case of
fire call up 81" But few people, even
those who are in the habit of calling
up "37" in every case to learn where it
is, really understand what the young
woman who represents that mum be r
is doing all the time. She is really II
sort of supervisor of fire and police, be-
fore whom even the fire and police com
missioners pale into insignificance. She
has long table off by herself in the
east end of the exchange room and
there presides over the destinies of the
city and keeps tab on the policemen.
On this table are several "tickers" in
glass cases, for all the world like those
found in boards of trade, and on these
the patrolmen make their mark every
hour when they turn in their number
at the patrol box. There is whir-
ring noise in the glass case whenever
they do, and if the proper time passes
and the report is not made 1877" makes
o note OF it.
1t is at such times that she issues her
orders to the police.

who is also responsible for the start.

THE EVIDENCE ALL IN
The Larrabee Murder Case Goes to
the Jury.

A. 4. Gallup testified sub
stantially the same as former
witnesses and corroborated
them: When they were lead
ing deceased into the tent he
asked for smoking tobacco;
this was when they got him to
the door, and that Larrabee
struggled to get away with
the intention of killing Long.
w. F. johnson testified in
confederation of the other
State witnesses with the ex.
ception of the fact that the 9TH
ers preceded him out of the
tent and that when he got out
Long and Larrabee were only
from four to five feet apart,
instead of SO feet, as the others
have testified and that he did
not notice that Larrabec had
a cigarette paper in his hand.
w. E. Childs was an impor-
tant witness for the State and
testified in substance: lam in
the saloon business at Con
cord; was there August 2 and
"a; had conversation with
Long on that date about 4
o'clock. He said to me:
"Billy Childs, Larrabee wrong
ed me; he took my chips and
struck me-" This was in the
early part of the day; then he
asked me for a gun, which was
at the head of my bed, rifle,
and picked it up, saying that
he wanted to go hunting; |
told him he could not have it,
that he was drunk and had
better 60 home and go to bed.
He then left, but returned
about 6 o'clock; he came in
and said: "Billy Childs, Lar.
rabee struck me again and |
fixed him." | said: "You
, what?' and he repeated it and
said: 81 did it with this
pulling out a knife.
w. P. Murphey: Am a bar
tender for VIM. Childs; had a
conversation with Long at 4
or S o'clock on August p; he
came in and asked if we had a
gun; he saw it lying on the
bed and wanted to take it to
go hunting. | told him !
would leave it on the bed or
pnt it outside the tent and
that he could come and get it
later, and | then hid it; | told
him this to get rid Of him be
cause he was drunk; he had
some cartridges which he tried
to fit in the gun. He then
went out and | did not see
him until after the cutting and
then | did not listen because il
was all drunken talk.
No cross.examination.
James P. Turner, manager
of the Boston Buffalo Idaho
Co., was then called: ! had {
conversation with Long or
August %. He was saving
lumber for me about this time
After the cutting, | went into
my boarding house, about
o'clock, and | said to Long
who was eating supper: "Jim
where is the knife you did tn,
cutting with?' and he handet
me this small pearl handled

joyment was augmented by one thing
and that was that beyond the jostling,
incident to so general gathering,
there was ever present spirit of cour-
teous forbearance and amiability that
above and beyond theset rules of usage
and of etiquette, added to the senti-
ment of the occasion a comradeship as
deep as democracy, and a politeness
written, not in books. but In hearts.
For three hours the throngs surged
through the reception rooms, and it

anu the supper Arrangements Were
Good Despite the Crush.
In the reception room where the re-
ceiving party stood the decorations
were especially beautiful. The mantel
was banked with palms, ferns and
vines starred here and there with the
delicate pink blossoms OF the azalias;
grouped in little hooks about the room
were palms and tall ferns, and the
graceful lycopodium vine trailed every
where. Directly back Of the receiving
party was an immense bunch of Amer
ican Beauty roses, and from the CELL
ing and chandeliers hung Christmas
green's.
In the open parlor where Danz's or
cbestra played there were more palms
and ferns filing every available nook.
Punch was served in the small side
dining room off the main corridor.
In the large dining room the mantels
were banked high with ferns and
palms, roses and azalias. Feathery
green vines hung from the ceilings and
chandeliers, and masses of cut flowers
were arranged here and there on the
horseshoe shaped tables. A buffet
supper was served here, and despite the
fact of the great crush of people that
was met everywhere outside, the full
corps of walters In the supper room had
no difficulty in promptly serving the
guests.

TASTE IN DECORATIONS.
The main dining room, simply but
tastefully draped with festoons of
green, had ranged on three sides a
table set with viands and served by
walters to the strolling guests. The
great court in the center of the room
left by this arrangement Of the tables,
was all the evening one of the most
frequented Of any rendezvous for those
who had found their friends in the
throng. The men, those Of them whose
predictions led them to abandon the
social arena to it's natural conquerors
the fair sex, were cared for by the
committee, and that too, Hospitality, In
a commodious apartment on another
floor, where out of the social crush ano
amid surroundings dear to the heart
and familiar to the memory of every
true Democrat, the night was made
merry that crowned a king in the
heart of his people almost, thougf
hoEored only by the title of governor
in official nomenclature.
Viewed from the artistic point OF
view, the reception lacked some OF TIE
splendor that has attached to rival
receptions in those parlors in the past,
but 1t was not brilliancy that was aim
ed at primarily. The end and aim OF
this event was not to promote the So

And woman, as she stands in St
