clared to be Innocent.

Harshly Criticises the Verdict Returned

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES for Pat
Grove to be Withdrawn.

James Callahan, who has been on
trial at Omaha, was declared not guilty
OF any completely in the kidnapping of
Edward Cudahy, jr. The jury signited
to Judge Baker through a balif that
IL was ready to report. A small audi
cnce Of fifty attorneys and interested
parties had heard the news. and were
waiting when the twelve men filed in.
The foreman announced that the ver-
dict was not guilty. The judge had
evidently been expecting another YER
dict and was openly disappointed.
1T is impossible for me to under
stand" he said, "how twelve intelli.
gent men could have agreed upon such
a verdict after listening to the testi-
mony. The defendant could not have
chosen more wisely il he had been Sc
lecting his own representatives and
the community could not have made a
more unfortunate selection. This
jury is discharged without the compli-
ments OF the court"
Galatians attorneys were not pre-
sent, and the defendant ex expressed a
desire to thank the jurors in his own
behalf. This privilege the court re-
fused to permit. He said the jury did
not deserve any thanks.

the weather was not So warm as the

captured the hearts Of the people OF
Dixie. Confederate veterans at all the
stopping places were among the presi-

THE ADONIS OF THE GRAND OPERA
HOUSE BOX OFFICE SOLVES THE
PROBLEM OF "PlPE
DREAMS"

Pipe dreams result from various
causes. There are different kinds of this
somnambulistic article. The variety is
governed largely by the cause. The ex-
act science of pipe dreams is yet a
dream itself. a sort of nebulous propO-
sition. Some specialists claim that there
are as many different kinds of pipes"
as there are causes. Inner circle"
members, comprising those few scien-
lists that are fascinated by the pickering
gaslights and the rancous tones of
drunken brawlers about once a week,
declare most positively that the same
cause can, under different circumstances,
each time produce nearly a thousand
different kinds of visions.
Sigismund Meyer, the Adonis who pre-
sides over the destinies of the box office
at the Grand Opera house. has shat
tered various scientific theories by en-
tering the field as a terrible example.
Those who do not know Mr.. Meyers as
Sigismund, will bring him to mind read
lily by his stage name of ''Issie."
A few days ago "Issie" became pos
sessed of a beautiful shirt front sparkler.
Hardly had his friends time to gasp
in wonder when it mysteriously disap-
peared. but simultaneously a jewel that
would have shamed the "Kohinoor'' or
cleaned from his finger-a pretty finger
it is, too. long and tapering and set off
by a rosy nail neatly tipped with a bor-
der of jet.
There was one popularity about the
stone evOking comment-it was subject
to moods. Sometimes 1t would emit rays
of condensed sunshine of such dazzling
briliancy that if an Edison or a Tesla
had been in the vicinity the problemt of
artificial sunlight would have been
solved. Again it would take a fit of
sulks and put on a face as expression
less as the sphinx. Now and then it
would just glow in a alf-hearted man.
ner as if it had the blues and was
struggling to gain the plane Of jollity
and forget it's sorrows. Solar light, gas
light or electric light never failed to
drive it's sorrows to the four winds, and
it would flash forth rays of happiness
under their influence that gave the back
of 'Issie's" hand the appearance of a
Joseph's coat or the spectrum Of pure
white light.
1t was not long until keen observers
perceived that the stone had a strange
effect on ''Issie.' He would gaze at it
lovingly, and. as he gazed, his face
would change-but not permanently; no,
not permanently. If the stone flashed
and scintillated. "Issie's" face would
grow bright and joyous and he would
sing Leaning Up Against the Lake,"
if it glowed DULY, his countenance would
take on an expression indicative of that
tired feeling" but if it actually sulked,
then "Issie's" look was one of supreme
