The case Of state Y. Robert Burns Nelson
occupied the whole Of last week, and the
state had not finished its side when court
adjourned Saturday. Quite lot OF
testimony was introduced showing the
intoxicated condition OF Nelson ana
Bostock on the day preceding the shoot
ing. but nothing appeared showing tney
were unfriendly toward each other. Inc
most interesting part Of the testimony
was that Of Or. J. f Shattuek OF Meils
/ River and DR.. Z. r. Gibson OF WoodsVlle'
tae two physicians who made the posi-
mortem examination the same day lne
] affair occurred Their testimony tended
+ strongly to show that the course oil the
+ charge was in direct line from the eye 10
+ the occipital region In the back OF tine
head. and that the brain matter az tine Top
81 the head was left intact. In connection
f with their testimony, the skull OF bostoOA
vas nroduced in court the body having
/ been recently eXhumed and the head
. severed therefrom The state has also
/ introduced the results of experiments
/ made with the same gun u shooting
against pieces Of cotton cloth AZ various
distances the idea being 60 show that the
aupearance of Bostock's face proves that
/ Inc muzZle OF the gun must have been AZ a
greater distance than is consistent win
Z the suicide or accident theory. Dr. M. >;
/ Witse Of the State Baeteriological
iTaboratbry has also testified AZ TO the
results of examinations Of the pillow case
back of Bostocks head and OF the clothes
worn by Nelson when arrested. Inc
latter had no blood on them, but the
inflow case showed what is claimed 70 pc
/ powder marks. as well as spots OF blooo.
THE examination OF DR.. Gibson had not
been completed when court arose saturday.
The evidence of the state closed Monday
afternoon and the defense then com
menced his testimony. The respondent
testified in his own behalf and claimed ne
was out of the room when the shooting
occurred. Evidence was also introduced
showing that the safety arrangement or
mechanism on the barrel of the gun was
defective SO that the barrel could be us
charged by hitting the hammer a slight
blow or by the butt of the gun dropping
on the floor. The defense also showed =
test made with the gun which II lsclaimeu
supports their theory. The evidence was
closed about 10 O'Clock "Wednesday morn
ing and the arguments begun.

LONDON LIONIZEs DRACHMANN
Danish Poet Is the Recipient of Many
Flattering Attcn-
tiOns.

Holger Drachmann. the Danish poe t
AND dramatist, is the recipient of many
fiattering attentions from Englishmen
of letters. Already he has been ban
quoted half a dozen times. He speaks
excellent English. and whenever the
opportunity presents itself dweils upon
the influence which English literature.
especially the poetry of Shakespeare
Byron and Keats, has exercised upon
his own productions.
Much the most graceful tribute paid
to him has come from Edmund Gosse
who described him the other evening
as "eNtremely voluminous and excel
ling in songs of patriotism. songs OF
love and wine and feasting. songs of the
sorrhwful life of the poor. the blood red
song of revolution and. above all, the
song of the sea-
Mr.. Gosse called him "Denmark's
greatest living poet. the most repre-.
sentative of her sons, and the most
vivid and striking personality she car
offer to the gaze of Europe in this last
year of the nineteenth century"
1t is understood that Mr. Drachmanr
has received several urgent requests tc
go to America, where he is assured Of
a warm welcome.

WEATHER TOO SEVERE.
French Dominican Monks Abandon
Church and Monastery In
THIS Country.

Because they were not able to endure
the climate of Westchester county the
French Dominican monks, who have
had a church and monastery at Sher-
man Park. New York. for the last six
wears. have returned to France. taxi
ing their students for the priesthood
with them. The community at Sher-
man Park, including priests and nov
ices, numbered about so. Now there
are only half dozen of the fathers
left, and they are engaged in parish
work only.
The French Dominicans and their
students were accustomed to IA warm
climate before they came here in 1894
and the change was trying to them
especially to the young novices. These
youths came from Lyons, France, ano
in that mild climate had no difficulty
in living up to the strict rules of the
Domncans. But here it was noticed
that both priests and novices began te
decline.
The French Dominicans came here
to escape the unfriend,iness which eN

of the province of Lyons and their nov

WEST POINT SYSTEM PRAISED
An English Military Writer Con.
demns the Existing British
Methods.

At a conference of the head masters
of the great public schools of England
one of the speakers severely arraigned
the irritating educational methods
the schools were forced to employ in
order to pass boys as officers into the
service. A military correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette, criticising the
Sandhurst and Woolwich methods, de-
clares the British authorities admit
that West Point is in advance of any
thing in England He describes the
democratic and severely competitive
system in vogue there, saying:
Education at West Point is serious
thoroughness rather than an extern
sion of attainments. Its principle is
controlling education together with
the knowledge of how to make use Of
it. Like all exceptionally good educa-
ton, it is enormously costly, perhaps
the most expensive in the world. But
in many ways it is said to be by far
the best. An exhaustive comparison
colleges as educational mediums is to
the disadvantage of our own institu-
tions. The principal industry in the
United States is education. For years
| past the Americans have been earnest
ly engaged in the business of dissem-
mating knowledge If Great Britain
is to hold her own we must follow in
the footsteps of the great republic or
be content with second place"

WILL TEACH NEWSBOYS FREE.
Kansas City Dancing Master Says
They should Learn Eth
quette.

Prof. H. A. Franzmathes, Kansas
City's dancing master, has a pew idea
in philanthropy. He believes that the
greatest need of newsboys is to learn
to dance and to make a good appear
ance in society, and to help them he
announces that every Monday here
after at his academy will be devoted
exclusively to the free instruction Of
the newsboys of Kansas City in the
art of Terpsichore. Franzemathes
says in his formal announcement:
''It should be the aim and ambition
of every newsboy to achieve higher
positions in life as he natures into
manhood. Some of our most intelli-
gent and wealthiest men of to-day
started in early boyhood days selling
papers, but, watching every oppor-
tunity which presented itself, rose
higher and higher, finally wearing the
laurels so eagerly sought.
81 believe the newsboys of Kansas
City, if given chance, would make
their mark as business men. To do
this, they must cultivate themselves,
beginning at the point which we think
very necessary, the art of dancing, de-
pertinent and etiquette"

LIBRARY FOR FORT DODGE.
Andrew Carnegie Agrees to Give F3O,.
900 II the Iowa City Will Main-
tain the Institution.

Andrew Carnegie has promised to
donate $4,000 for library at Fort
Dodge, Ia, provided, however, the city
will donate the site and agree to
maintain the library. This action
was brought about in rather un-
usual way. Mr.. Carnegie was leav-
ing the Shoreham hotel, Washington,
on his way to Senator Hanna's resi-
dence, about two blocks away. He
was approached by Director Roberts
and Solicitor O'Connell, of the treas
ury department, and asked to grant
an interview of five minutes length.
"All right" responded Mr.. Carnegie.
Just walk along with me; I am be-
hind time" During the walk the two
officials tols the millionaire philan-
thropist of the necessity for public
library at Fort Dodge. They said the
city was sadly in need of a library,
and from the present outlook the only
way to get it was for some philanthro.
pist to donate enough money to con.
struct it. By the time the senator's
residence was reached the two men
had won their case.
Surely" said Mr.. Carnegie, Fort
Dodge shall have a library building
Let the city donate the site and agree
to maintain the library, and as soor
as this is done draw on me for $50,
600 for the building"
Director Roberts notified some o.
his friends at Fort Dodge, who will g
to work and endeavor to secure enough
money to maintain the library and t.
secure the site from the city.

PANIC AT STEER-TYING TEST.
Cowboys Unable to Keep FerOciOus
Animals Away from Spec

The most remarkable exhibition Of
steer tying in Arizona took place at
Phoenix the other day, Oscar Roberts
and Joe Basset, two noted cowboys,
contesting for a $1,000 purse and the
championship of Arizona. The steers
were unusually wild, and they put the
spectators to flight several times by
breaking through fences and into the
crowd Roberts time for lassoing and
tying five stesrs "2- --;nutes IA sec
onds, and Basset's time was 7:23.
Basset made remarkable time with
the first four steers and threatened to
break the worlds record, but he bat
tied with the last steer, ferocious ami
NAL, for more than two minutes be-
fore he had him tied, breaking one Of
the animals legs and its horns. The
steer was thrown four times, but each
time regained his feet, made savage
lunges at Basset's horse and created
panic in the crowd by thrusting his
long horns through women's skirts.
