GUILTY OF MANsLAueHTER.
Jury in the Berndt Murder Case Re-
turns It's Verdict.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Dec. 2.-Late Saturday at
ternoon the jury upon whom rested the
fate of Albert Berndt indicted upon the
charge Of murder in the first degree for
the killing Of Ed Thode, on April 9th
last, returned a verdtst finding the pris-
oner guilty of manslaughter, the maxi
mum penalty for which crime upon con-
viction is eight years Imprisonment in
the state penitentiary. Acceding to the
wish of the prisoner Sheriff Macarthur
brought Berndt into the court room in
order that he might hear the reading Of
the verdict. Pale ana motionless, as
during the entire course of the trial the
few words pronounced which sealed his
fate and was then accompanied back to
jail by the obliging sheriff.
To the sheriff Berndt expressed his
disappointment at not being acquitted
altho to a younger man such verdict
in view of the seriousness of the charge
would doubtless have been regarded in
a different light. for in the eyes CT the
public, it is a very favorable verdict
Berndt is SO years OF age and naturally
the knowledge of the fact that he must
spend term OF years In the peniten-
tiary, would bear more heavily upon
one Of his years upon = younger per-
son.
The trial Of Berndt has been one Of the
most interesting held in the county
since the conviction OF Mrs. Christine
Behrens several years ago upon the
charge of causing the death Of her hus-
band by poison. The court room has
been filed daily with an interested
group OF spectators and many OF the
members Of the bar dropped in at one
time or another during the process of
the trial to hear some of the evidence
or to listen to q part Of the arguments

HIGHER PRICES.
Food Stuffs Show q Marked Advance
to Consumer,

Food Stuffs Show q Marked Advance
to Consumer.
With the approach of a winter giving
every indication Of being a vigorous sea-
son, the prices Of a good many of the
staple food stuffs are showing a tendency
to soar to heights that will very likely
cause distress among a large proportion Of
the inhabitants of this city.
marked increase has been noticed in
the prices Of meats. Round, sirloin and
porterhouse each having advanced about
two cents per pound within the last week
or ten days. One Of the reasons advanced
by a dealer for this increase In prices was
that a good portion of the meat now in
the market is what is termed as rough
stuff, being meat from the early cattle,
which, he stated, was not of the best
quality. Therefore, when a demand is
made for the better variety of meats, the
prices have a tendency to take jump.
OF this latter class not many large ship
ments, SO it was stated were now being
made. The prices in these articles, an
other stated, would take a decided lump
about, or little before, the first of the
year. The reason for this augmented ad-
vance, he stated, was due to the fact that
the beef then arriving would be what is
termed as corn-fed stock
The prices altogether, however, do not
indicate any material change over those Of
last year, as this dealer stated.
The advance in prices is not confined
alone to the meats but the same is true of
the present condition with regard to butter
and eggs. These commodities are COM
manding prices that average from 2 to 2la
cents higher than at the same period last
year. However, at this season a good adj
vance in the price of eggs can be expected
and the source Of supply is obtained from
the west Another article, one perhaps
that will cause the greatest Inconvenience,
is now bringing price that a week ago
was hardly thought Of. This Is the Irish
potato. A commission merchant stated
that a week ago the price was IS cents per
bushel, but that with little or no notice the
price was run up to IS cents and afterward
to 81 a bushel. The latter figures. he
stated, would probably remain unchanged
SO far as any decrease. but as to an ed
vance he was not 50 sure.
Another stated that the price would not
go above 81, because the imported article
would force down the price. On this score,
however, there seema to be diversity Of
opinion, as the European crop, SO say
some, II not az successful az ours.
In the poultry class the figures quoted are
a substantial gain over those Of last year
