CAMDEN. N. j., Nov. 13.-The defense
In the Paul Woodward trial gained a
victory over the State this morning.
Chemist Berringsr, who made a chem
ical analysis OF the contents of the
stomach OF Bandmaster Jennings's MUIR
dered son. testified that he found strych-
nine In the stomach, when Lawyer Rob
inson objected. A sharp legal contest
ensued, which resulted In all the evil

Tor the murder OF Freight Agent Cof-
ms son and not the bandmaster's son.
Thereupon DR.. Marshall, the ~toxicolo-
gistl who examined the organs Of the
Comm body, was called to the stand and
testified that he found one-third of a
grain of strychnine in the organs.
Frog brought to Court.
Tiny glass dishes containing the deadly
drug supposed to have been administered
by the defendant In the preparation of
the robbery were produced and exhibited
to the jury. The same portion of the
drug administered to a frog killed the
animal. Then the prosecutor asked the
court for permission to administer some
or the strychnlne taken from the Coffin
stomach in the body of a live frog in
the presence of the jury. Another sharp
contest ensued, but the court permitted
the experiment. The live frog was pro-
cured, and with the assistance of chem

IL Is very delightful to come across
$500 In an old stocking. This was the
fortune of a member of the shoe firm
of Herold h Son at Plattsmouth recent
ly. The elder Mr.. Herold died In the
year 1895. In his lifetime he was
an eccentric old gentleman and
though he had big strong safe
he was In the habit Of stor-
ing up bits of money In odd hooks
and corners of the store. Every once
In a while he would collect these to-
gether and turn them over tn the bank
for safekeeping. When he died his
books showed that 500 was missing.
The money has remained In darkness
ever since until just the other day
when some old shelving was being taxi
en- out. Then safe and sound and pre-
cious the sum was found In u sock and
most gratefully removed from Its long
hiding place.

ElcH CASE is FAR-REAcHINe
It's Outcome May Have Bearing on
All Postal Clerks and
Carriers.

Considerable interest is manifest in on
cial circles over the suit Of the United
States against the company which bonded
o II. Eich, the letter carrier who is
serving time in Sioux Falls, after having
been convicted OF embezzling money en-
trusted to his care in his Official capacity.
"If the Eich bond is declared void,' said
Assistant Postmaster Woodland. II would
not give a dollar for any bond Of any clerk
or carrier employed In the once, for all
are of the same nature"
The issues involved in this case have a
far-reaching effect, as they not only in
volve the clerks and carriers at the Omaha
office, but the bonds OF clerks and carriers
In all Offices whose bonds have been made
previous to last year. Since these bonds
were made the carriers have been instruct
ed to receive from patrons of the office
letters to be registered. The carrier gives
to the person sending the letter a receipt
and receives a receipt from the clerk at
the office to whom It is delivered. Pre-
vious to last year the carriers delivered
registered letters, but did not receive them
for registry. and the defense Of the bond
company is that in adding the receipt OF
such letters to the duties OF the carriers
the postofhce department has changed the
hhV WIN W bt per Eultu ny
such carriers and for that reason the bonds
are void.
The point in the case is whether the
character Of the work has been changed or
II there has been only an increase in the
amount Of work OF the same character. II
having been held that an increase in the
amount OF similar work would not invsli-
late the bond where a change in the char
acter OF the work would do so.
According to the postofice officials clerks
are transferred from one department to
another as the exigencies Of the service re-
quire and a clerk who today is handling
second-class matter Of not particular in
trinsic value may tomorrow be at work in
the registry department handling thou
sands OF dollars during the course of the
day. The officials fear that II the conten-
tion OF the bond company is sustained It
VIII be necessary to take out bonds for all
clerks separately and that transferring
them from one department to another un-
less that transfer is specifically permitted
In the bond will be impossible, thus max
ing 1t difficult to handle all phases Of the
business in the most rapid manner.

SCHEME FOR POSTAL STATION
OhiciRl of POstomce Department SuE-
Rests DiscOntinuance of
Benson once.

In connection with the movement Of the
residents OF the northwestern part Of the
city to establish a station Of the Omaha
postoflce in the neighborhood Of Walnut
Hill, an oficial of the Postofice department
has suggested a plan which he considers
would make the operation Of the station a
stroke Of economy for the department.
The idea is as follows: Let the postofice
at Benson be discontinued. Locate the sta
ton at Clifton Hill, which is a center Of
more population than any of the other sites
suggested. Let the carriers now serving
the rural delivery routes from Benson start
from the northwestern station, delivering
the mail to the village OF Benson, as well
as to the persons residing beyond the city
limits between Omaha and Benson.
This PLAN said the originator. will
make 1t possible to accommodate a much
larger population than Is now served by
the rural free delivery from Benson. 1t
will also a It possible to serve those
people between Omaha and Benson who are
forced to go to one of the Offices for their
mail and at the same time will save the
government the expense of maintaining the
Benson Office"
There is considerable rivalry over the
location of the proposed station in the
part OF the city, he con-
tinued. Every small community from
Fortieth and Cunning streets to Clifton Hill
is anxious to have the once and all claim
that their particular locality is the one
which would be best for the department.
Offers of buildings have been made by prop
erty owners, while at this time there is
no certainty that the new station will be
established. II the Benson ONCE and new

IL could be made Of considerable advantage
to the service as we'll as to the people in
the vicinity, but II this is not done a sub
station. where stamps, cards and money or
ders are sold would be Of as much advan-
tage as a station from which mail is de-
livered, and the patrons Of the once would
probably get their mail from the ONCE
sooner by direct service from the central
building than from the station"

IN SUNLIGHT OF GoD's LOVE.
Rev. Hill Recommends sure way TO
Remain There.

Rev. Hill Recommends Sure Way TO
Remain There.
Keeping in the Sunlight OF Gods Love"
was the subject OF Rev. II. G. Hills SER
mon at the First Christian church Sunday
morning. In introducing his subject the
speaker remarked that it was a common
truth that without sunlight there is no
life, as an illustration describing a recent
visit he had made to the Mammoth cave in
Kentucky. I'm the cave" he said, I'VE
realized how utterly desolate the world
would be without sunlight. There was no
life there, except in the pools an occasional
sightless crawhsh and in the crevises Of
tho rocks a few white crickets, blind and
with no coloring. We know that the com
mercial life is centered in the sunlight and
that without sunlight nothing can exist.
We realize that we cannot have spiritual
life without the sunshine Of Gods love.
The question is how to get In this sunlight?
Gods love, as does the sun, shines every
where. and yet we can get out OF the sun
light by pulling something between us and
the sun, and in the same way we can get
away from Gods love; we can bury our
selves so deep that we hide ourselves from
His love. The key to transplanting our
selves from this darkness to sunshine is to
abide by the commandments"
Continuing, Rev. Hill said: w need
to look upon the human side Of Christ as
we'll as the spiritual. We reason that
Jesus, being superior to US. more was re-
quired Of Him and less expected of us.
We should know that every vantage of
Jesus Is possible to humanity. The man
ner in which Jesus put of the tempters and
resisted temptation can be initiated by man.
God abides in mar and man abides In God
and the Christian who abides In sunlight
shall enter everlasting life with the char
acteristics of God and the man who abides
in darkness shall enter with the character
istics Of the brute. To be a Christian is
not prescribing to certain forms and doc
trines once a week and then dropping back
in the darkness. but the Christian is the
man who is growing. who Is broadening and
who is building up his character"

PRESENT SOCIETIES SATISFY
Nebraska Not interested in
Proposed Organization at
Sioux Falls.

According to local members OF the Travel
ers' Protective association, the meeting
called for Sioux Falls In April for a union
OF all people connected with travellers as
sociations in the country will have little
effect In this territory. The secretary of
the local post of the Travellers Protective
association said:
This meeting appears to me to be an
attempt to revive the old Travellers Pro-
~tective Association OF the United States,
which went out Of business several years
ago, and was succeeded by the present
organization. The old society had no fea-
ture attached to 1t other than those de-
nominated commercial 1t paid no atten-
ton to insurance and that was the cause
Of its undoing. The members paid 50 a
year. l think II was for the services OF
certain officers who were supposed to look
after such matters as railroad and hotel
rates, privileges OF commercial travellers
on the roads and such legislation as would
protect the travellers in their business. Il
was found that uniformly the officers for
got to perform their duties aside from
drawing their salaries and the society was
succeeded by the present Travellers Pro-
~tective Association OF America.
This society now pays attention TO all
questions such as 1t Is proposed shall be
covered by the new organization and in
addition pays an accident insurance to its
members. Thu insurance feature keeps up
the interest Of the emhers in the organi-
zation. while the movement mas now ac-
CURED a scope which may well be called
national, and 1t sways political influence
in many states in the interest Of the com
mereial travellers. The United Commercial
Travellers is a social and insurance society
which now completely hlls that field, so
II is dinhcult to see what place the new
society will MI.

mercial travellers OF Omaha will be repre-
scented at the Sioux Falls meeting and II
the EFFORT comes to anything more than that
meeting. II will be surprising. In the light

Announcements of the Theaters.

The attraction at the Boyd for three
nights and a matinee, opening Wednesday,
will be Hunting for Hawkins" Guy F.
Steely's new comedy, which has proven one
of the most positive successes Of recent
years. both the play and the players have
scored a most emphatic hit. Hunting for
HAWKING is a c~leverly written comedy. not
a p~lotless farce. and it is presented by a
company Of superior excellence. Therein
lies the secret of it's success, for the public
has long since tired Of the silly, absurd
thrown together affairs known as farce
comedy. with which the stage has come to
be burdened, and the performance of an
intelligently composed comedy. the charac-
ters Of which are interpreted by artists,
instead Of variety performers, offers a well
come relief. The cast is headed by John
l.. Kearney and George d. Melville, and
their supporting company is a large. evenly
balanced and capable one.
