From Murder Charge.

Avoca, May AT 10 o'clock last
night, after being out about six hours,
the jury in the trial of Mrs McDan
iels and Bert Livix on the charge OF
numbering Mrs. McDaniel's husband,
returned a verdict Of acquittal in
both cases.
l.. T. Genung Of Glenwood made an
eloquent plea of two hours for the de-
PENDANTS. He dwelt particularly upon
the fact that all Of the evidence pro
duced had been of circumstantial
nature. He was followed by Attorney
Sarton of this city, who closed his
plea just at the noon hour.
In the afternoon, County Attorney
Killpack made a strong argument on
behalf Of the state for the conviction
of the defendants. He made master
ly effort, and at times had his audi
tors In tears as he described the
enormity Of the crime and the alleged
manner in which 1t had been com
mitted.
The instructions OF Judge W. r.
Green were short. He told the jury
that 1t was possible for them to find
either one or both of the defendants
guilty Of murder In the first degree. or
of murder In the second degree, or
that either one or both might be dis
charged, as they found the evidence

Thinks Reports Concerning Damage
to Fruit unduiy Alarming.

Des Moines, May 4--During the
month of May for thirteen consecu
tive years the thermometer has drop
ped below the freezing point. Some
times the killing frosts have delayet
their appearance until the month wa.
we'll nigh spent. The periodicity o
these belated catastrophes has been
most tryiag to growers of fruit ant
small grain.
The cold snap of the past week ha,
excited no little apprehension through
out the state as to the amount of dam
age done and j. r. Sage of the
weather bureau has been flooded will
queries. Much concern has been man
Tested over the condition OF fruits
Mr.. Sage finds much comfort in tn,
fact that the recent cold snap mad
it's appearance in April. and says tina
while the fruit crop has undoubtedl.
been injured TO some extent, the out
look Is very promising.
The reports received at the weathe
bureau have been meagre up to thb
time, but Mr.. Sage produces severa
interesting facts to support his views
Prominent among these Is the fac
that all reports received up to thi;
time indicate that the decline of tn
thermometer was most marked In tn,
northern Lart Of the state. where thu
season Is fully a week later than II
the southern section. The reports
from the southern part of the stat,
are somewhat alarming, but Mr. Sage
argues that first reports are Away,
the worst, and that a revelation as Il
the true condition Is wholly matte
of time.
Mr.. Sage also points to the fac
that nature provides almost an unlim
tied number of blossoms and germ.
against the day OF adversely, and tina
while the recent cold snap may have
blghted or killed many of these, there
still remains sufficient quantity Il

cited tina. the temperature at the
ground Is always much lower thar
points In the air, and that the differ
ence in temperature between tho
ground ana n point ten feet In the
air will rSnge from six TO ten degrees
The conclusion drawn by Mr.. Sage
Is that Wnilc the temperature ut the
ground. ~ many portions Of the state
may have fallen to the freezing point

Cheese may be made into soufles,
ramekins, omelets, etc, and served be-
fore the dessert, or with crackers, wa
fer biscuits or celery with a salad be-

University Representatives Gain De
cision from Mjnnesotans.

Iowa City, May 2.--lowa defeated
Minnesota last night in n well contest
cd debate on compulsory arbitration
Of disputes between capital and labor
The debate was close, Iowa receiving
two votes and Minnesota one.
Iowa argued that the recent coal
strike had shown that the disputes
between labor and capital were Of
vital concern to all the people and
that their prevention should be one OF
the objects OF the administration Of
Justice. ...
Minnesota argued that compulsory
arbitration was impractical, incapable
OF successful operation and that labor
disputes were now solving themselves
by natural process Of evolution.
Iowa pictured the evils that would
happen to every citizen by another
such strike as the coal strike, bring
ing home the cost to each Judge.
Minnesota held that labor would
not accept the awards II adverse with
out trouble and that compulsory
awards against capital would be con
iscation Of property.
Iowa pointed to the acceptance Of
the coal commission awards as an In
compulsory arbitration would be &C
copied by both capital and labor.
The two debating teams were even
ly balanced and every DICTATOR made
an excellent appearance.

he said:
I'VE have sundry letters to write,
and the plain truth is, | could wish
they were more heavenly. Here is a
man to answer who is playing fast and
loose with us-and | will not have it.
He is laying too much weight on my
patience; let him take care that he

Speaking thus, he walked towards
the door, and Jane marveled at the

words struck like caustic, and the

Neville left soon after the Lord Gen
eral, and the girls had game of bat
tledore and shuttlecock in the long
gallery; then sewing, reading aloud,
the evening meal and the evening ex.
ercise closed the day. The days that
followed were little different. On the
whole, Jane was not very sorry when
her visit was over and she was free to
return home. In spite Of the frankest
kindness, she felt out of her element

friends. and not all their familiarities

Then there came to James mind in
very sweet fashion the memory of Ma
tilda de Wick. They had quarreled al
most constantly for years, and Matil-
da's exacting temper and sharp tongue
had wounded her often; but for all
that she knew Matilda loved her. With
her mind full of kindly thoughts
towards Matilda, Jane returned to her

letter from her friend walung for her.

Mrs. Swaffham, "and told the man

legislation, which, though inimical to
Great Britain, was believed by many
people in the West to be of decided
advantage to their part of this coun-

The governor had few Eastern
senators in the corner, and was orat-
ing to them in that ford style which
became his whenever he warmed to a
nestness and words came pouring
from him like balls from Calling

CHAPTER vI.-(contlnued.,

But, mother, when look back to
last August"
If you want to look happily for
ward never look backward. / have
always found that one good hour
brings on another" And Jane took
the counsel into her heart and anon
began to sing, when soon a loud, joy
full voice Joined her, and its owner
came into the room singing them.
"Oh, Doctor Verify" Jane cried,
how glad | am to see you"
Il had been here an hour ago, but
! had to wait on the Lady Mary Crom-
well. She has sent you a letter, and
coach is at your order, and you are
bid to Whitehall. And you will be
very welcome there"
Then Jane ran to her mother, and
her box of fineries was quickly
packed, and the girl came down for
her visit glowing with hope and hap
pfness.
AS they drew near to Whitehall,
James spirits fell little. She had
not caught glimpse of her lover, and
she felt sudden anxiety about her
position. Sometimes prosperity is as
fatal to friendship as adversely, and
the girl tried in silence to prepare
herself for any change in affection
that change of fortune might have
caused. But her fears were very
transient; Mary and Frances Crom-
well. full of the JOY and pride Of their
great position, soon carried Jane all
through their splendid apartments,
and afterwards sat down together In
Mary's room to talk over old times
and the friends and occupations that
had made them happy and memorable.
Their first inquiry was for Lady Ma
tilda de Wick, and when Jane an
swered, Her father is dead, and |
know not exactly what has befallen
her since his DEATH" the girls were
all silent few minutes. After the
pause, Mary Cromwell said:

New Table Glass,

Never was an ambitious hostess
who did not succumb to the charms
of dainty glassware, let those who
will try to harden their hearts against
the beautiful futed specimens Of
crystal that stand erect on the dining
tables Of the leading Parisiennes.
With some sets of wine glasses the
top edge Of each cup opens out into
no less than eight little flutes; but
far more beautiful are the cups
that are fashioned with only four, SO
that the impress of the top of one
on paper would be something like a
four-leaved shamrock.
The glasses are of course, of the
finest crystal, and take for ornament
raised bands of rich gold, which give
wonderful dignity. Touches of the ex-
quisite French enamels come on some
of the glasses as the blossom of
delicate spray of flowers traced in
gold, or, on the more ornate cups of
crystal, among the intricacies of
monograms.

To Dry Shoes.

The usual--and the wrong way--of
treating wet shoes Is to take them
off and put them on the fender or the
radiator to dry. This method spells
the shoes. Too much heat cracks and
hardens leather.
Another wrong way is to stand them
on their soles, any where, to dry.
The proper way is to place tho
shoes, soles upward, near enough to
the fire to dry slowly and properly,
but not to steam during the drying.
The soles should always be turned
upward, even when the shoes are only
a little wet, for this way enables the
air to reach the wettest part of the
leather first.
