Iar-Sentencc Comes Monday.
After being out nearly forty eight hours
the district court jury in the case Of Ed
Lincoln, the negro charged with robbing
George Templar, a white man, brought in
verdict of guilty yesterday forenoon. Judge
Thornell announced that he would pass sem
tence next Monday. An examination of Lin
coins record shows that he has already
served three terms in the penitentary.
John Lawrence and r. b. Tracy, on trial
on the charge of breaking into the poultry
house of e. NJ Lorenz and stealing over 100
chickens and turkeys, are endeavorng to
establish an alibi. John Watt, indicted
along with Lawrence and Tracy. has de-
manded separate trial.
Lawrence and Tracy yesterday set up the
defense that on the night that Lorenzs
place was broken into they were in Car
son and that the chickens which were found
in their possession when arrested in Omaha
had been purchased by them from a man
named "Sheeney joe" They say they left
Carson at 8 o'clock on the morning that
they were arrested, reaching Omaha about
O'Clock having driven the thrty-two miles
with a load of chickens in about four hours.
In support of their alibi a young man
named Robert Johnson, working in a livery
barn at Carson, was placed on the stand.
He testified to seeing Lawrence and Tracy
there on the night of January 81, the night
Lorenz's place was raded, and that they
left early in the morning before he was
awake. He was asked on cross examination
If he had ever seen the attorney for the de-
PENDANTS before.
Never until today in this court" he
answered.
In rebuttal of this testimony the state put
Hi Miller on the stand. He swore that only
few days ago he drove the defendants at
torney to Carson and that the latter in
formed him his visit there was for the eX-
press purpose of seeing Johnson. The taking
of evidence was not concluded when court
adjourned for the day.
Judge Thornell will pronounce sentence
this morning on James Lee. convicted on the
charge of breaking and entering Sargent S
shoe store and stealing two pair of shoes.
The attorney for I. J. Foley, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Peru Plow
and Implement company, filed a resistance
yesterday to the application OF f. s. Mac
lafferty for a writ of mandamus to compel
Foley to give access to the books of the
company. Foley is willing that Maclafferty
being a stockholder should have access to
the stock and transfer books, but not to
any others.

WEBSTER AT BUNKER HILL.
Great Orator ms He Appeared When
Delivering His Famous Speech.

Delivering His Famous Speech.
The hrst time ! remember seeing Daniel
webster, writes Senator Hoar in ScribneT's,
was on June II, 1S43, at Bunker Hill The
students of Harvard, where ] was a fresh
man, had a place ian the procession. We
marched from Cambridge to Boston, three
miles and a half, and stood in our places for
hours and then marched over to Charles
town. We were tired out when the Grafton
began There was a little wind which car
red tho sound of Mr.. Webster's voice away
from the place where we stood; so it was
hard to hear him during the first part of his
speech He spoke slowly and with great de-
liberation. There was little in the greater
part of that weighy discourse to excite a
youthful auditor; but the great thing was to
look at the great orator Waldo Emerson,
who was there said of him:
His countenance, his figure and his man
ners We're all in so grand a style that he
was, without effort, as superior to his most
eminent rivals as they were to the humblest
Ho alone of all men did not disappoint the
eye and the ear, but was fit figure in the
landscape. There was the monument and
here was Webster. He knew well that lit
tie more or less OF rhetoric signified nothing;
he was only to say plain and equal things
grand things, If he had them; and If he had
them not only to abstain from saying unfit
things-and the whole occasion was answered
by his presence"
He went almost through his weghty dis
course without much effect upon his auditors
other than that which Emerson so well de-
scribes. But the wind changed before he
finished and blew toward the quarter where
tho boys stood, and he almost lifted them
from their feet as his great organ tones
rolled out his closing sentences:
and when both we and our children shall
have been consigned to the house appointed
for all living, may love of country and pride
of country glow with equal fervor among
those TO whom our names and our blood
shall have descended And then, when hon-
ored and decrepit age shall lean against the
base OF this monument and troops of in
genuous youth shall be gathered round H.
and when the one ihall speak to the o,he.

The announcement made by the police tbe

entrance by cutting a hole In the panel of
the door just above the lock large enough
to admit pair Of nippers with which he
turned the key and thus opened the door.
The hole in the door was evidently cut
with an ordinary pocketknife. The shay

THE BEE WHEEL CONTESTS
The More that Enter the Contests,
the Easier the wheels VIII
Re Won.

Every boy and girl will want to ride
wheel this spring and The Bee is going to
give you a chance to get one in very
simple way. What is more, 1t is going to
let you pick out any make wheel you want
for it knows you all want a certain make,
(which is the only make on EARTH
Now let us tell you how The Bee is going
to give the wheels away. We want lot of
new subscribers to The Bee in Council
Bluffs AS as the first 400 orders have
been handed into our office, the first con-
test closes and we will award the wheel to
the one bringing the most orders out of
this 300. Then Contest No. ! closes and Con-
test No opens on the next 300 orders.
Just see how easy this is. Say only thirty
girls and boys start out on March / to get
subscribers. They only have to average ten
apiece to make the total so the winner will
not have to get very many orders, you see.
You want to start in early and hand in your
orders as soon as possible.
Now about the orders. Each order must
be for an actual new Council Bluffs sub
scriber. Each subscriber must take The Bee
for at least three weeks and pay for it in
order to be counted. 1t is better, but not
necessary, to pay in advance, only no order
will be counted until the subscription is
paid for. If the subscription is paid for in
advance 1t will count one your score for
each three weeks for which it is prepaid.
For example: If subscriber pays in ad-
vance for six weeks, it counts two; If he
pays for twelve weeks, it will count four;
If he pays for one year, it will count seven
teen On orders which are not paid in ad-
vance it will count only one on your score
no matter how long he continues to take it.
There, that is plain, isn't it? Now see
what you can do The first contest begins
