tFrom a star correspondent.,

1890 $1,000 WV y A5RSNAoA - SUI
sational turn was given in the case OF Nose
Jacobs against his father, Charles Jacobs,
today by the filing OF a motion on the part
Of the son to have the submission of the case
set aside and reopened, on the ground of
new and important evidence in the case.
When the mother OF Nose Jacobs died a
year ago Charles Jacobs was appointed ad-
ministrator. Nose began suit to compel
his father to give an accounting of certain
properties held by him which we're claimed
by the son. During his years OF work as
a newsboy In Des Molne Nose had accu-
lated a fortune estimated at from $50, 900
TO $40, 900, but a large share of his money
and valuables he had intrusted to his
mother during her lifetime. The case in
wolves an accounting OF the father for much
Of this property. Nose Jacobs has since
married and retired from the street and
manages a store. The case was submitted
to court some time ago, but not decided.
Now comes the plaintiff with an AFFIDAVIT
that he has information from one 1. Kuhn
OF New York which is important In the
case, as Charles Jacobs had stated that he
had loaned large sums OF money to Kuhn,
but now Kuhn declares this is not true.
The case will probably be reopened to ad-
NIT the new evidence and It will be some
time before an end is reached.

Opposed to Badge Scheme.
Officers Of the order Of Modern Woodmen
are sending out letters advising members
against contributing to a scheme which is
being extensively worked throughout the
country for getting small contributions
from the Woodmen. A circular is sent
out containing a letter Of commentator
from the officers Of a Woodmen camp at
Meter for one s.. T. Akers, also a
OF Akers, showing him to be q
cripple, and enclosing a Woodman badge.
The recipient is asked to return rs cents
or the badge. The circulars go out from
City, where 1t. appears that a firm
OF which P. Stephen Harris, formerly of
this city, is a member, is at the head of
the movement. The head officers repudiate
the scheme and the clerk OF the camp at
Van Meter is out in a letter in which he
says he is satisfied Akers is not receiving
his share of. the proceeds and he has re-
the return of the letter OF In
dorsement. 1t is believed Akers and Harris
have received large sums in this way.
