tion of the police to the place. Her
brother, Charles Martin, gave testi-
mony as to the disorder on week daysi
and Sunday and to hearing violin,
there.
City Clerk MacWilliam was called
by the defendant to testify to the Fitz-
gerald license matter coming up at u
meeting that the pastor did not attend
when the board referred it to the judi
ciary committee and reported mo
further action. 2 Lawyer Angleman
objected to this as this was report
on reconsideration of the action
taken at a former meeting. Lawyer
Lyon thought this would show that
the Excise Board had Investigated
the matter as well as Mr.. Ferris, but
the court ruled this testimony out.
Excise Commissioner William Hoy
was asked how ne voted on the Eitz-
gerald application. The witness said
that was secret and the question was
withdrawn by Lawyer Lyon. He was
asked what influenced the board in
their vote and this was objected to
and sustained.
PASTOR NOT ANGRY.
Abel Hanson and John Ii. Schoo n
over both testified to Mr. Ferris not
acting as if angry toward the Fitz-
geralds in his protest before the
board. He was earnest and impressed
them with the fact tn at the people did
not want the saloon.
Recorder Pickersgill testified to OBJ
serving no indication of anger on the
part of Mr.. Ferris at the meeting
He repeatedly said he had nothing
against them. Lawyer Angleman
asked him as to the use of the words
offensive to good morals. - Both Mr..
Ferris and the recorder said he APP
piled them to the Fitzgerald place and
not in any remarks he made about
the family.
The testimony was then all in and
both sides rested until this morn ing

Wrote Letter to Water COmnlis-

Finances Will not Stand
the Bond Issue.
Mr.. VOORHEES, DIFFERS.
Committee Appointed to Prepare
a Financial Statement to Show
the City Can Issue Bonds
for the Reservoir.
RECONSTRUCT THE OLD MILL.
Contract Was Awarded for the
Work at the Meeting
Last Night.
RECONSTRUCT THE OLD MILL.

Mayor Brace is opposed to the cons
struction of reservoir at the present
time. His views we're made known to
the water commissioners last night
in the following communication:
Honorable Board of Water Com
missoners:
Gentlemen
"Although | heartily approve OF th
construction Of a reservoir, the condi-
tion of the city's bonded Indebtedness
will not warrant at the present, the
issue of bonds to the amount neces-
sary. Therefore there is time for the
preparation of specifications for a res
servoir.
Respectfully yours,
"H. MARTYN BRACE,
Mayor"
The commissioners, although having
the power, say they win not pass their
resolution over the mayor 5 veto.
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare statement of the condition of
the water departments finances from
the last financial statement OF the
city, as the figures used by Mr.. Jen-
sen in his published statement against
the reservoir proposition are declared,
( by Mr. Voorhees,, to have been, in
large part, erroneous. Messrs. Voor-
hees, Jensen and Clark were named.
H.. fhnf no hQ "
cused was not needed. He declared
that the mayor evidently concurs IN
his belief, or he would not have ve-
toed the proposition.
The resolution vetoed by the mayor
was that ordering the engineer to pre-
pare plans and specifications.
Mr.. Voorhees, declared that the city
would issue bonds for the amount
estimated to be necessary. President
Convery said the commissioners
should have an estimate of the amount
necessary, SO as to feel their way, and
not, necessarily, to construct the
reservoir at once.
Donehue & Leavy, the only bidders,
were awarded the contract for recon-
structing the old grist mill at Kun
yon, at IA total cost of 81, S4l.
A committee composed of Messrs.
Voorhees,, Jensen and Clark will go
over the records and recommend any
necessary changes in the system OF
keeping them.

NEBRASKA CROP REPORT.
Very Little Corn Planted During the
Past Week.

Lincoln, Neb., May 1.-THE Nebras-
ka weather bureaus bulletin says:
THE past week has been about nor
maj in most parts of the state. The
mean daily temperature averaged all
most exactly normal in southern and
eastern counties, but was Z degrees
below normal in the northwestern
counties.
The rainfall was below normal in
southeastern counties, amounting gem
orally to less than Il quarter OF an
inch. 1t was about normal in central
and northeastern countless where it
was slightly Il IS than one inch. 1t
Was above normal in northwestern
counties, where it considerably ex
ceeded an inch.
The cool and generally wet weather
of the past week has been favorable
for wheat and rye, and they continue
in excellent condition. Oats have
grown fairly Well, but the stand IS
somewhat thin in places. Rain would
be beneficial to all grain and grass in
southeastern counties. Grass contin-
ues to grow slowly.
Some progress was made With corn
planting in southern and southeastern
counties. In most of the state very
little com was planted during The
week. Apple trees are in full bloom
and promise Il good crop. Cherry trees
are blooming less full. and We're prob
ably damaged some by the frosts early
in the season. Frost and low temper-
allure this week damaged fruit in
northwestern counties. Strawberries
are in bloom in southeastern counties
and promise Il full crop.

Washington, May 1.-THE weekly

Generally throughout the central and

moist. Freezing temperature eX-
tended southwark to The central por-
tions of Arizona and New Mexico, with
frost ana snow in the central and
northern Rocky mountain regions and
the upper Missouri and Red River of the
North valleys. Excessive rains him
dered work in the central Mississippi
valley. Minnesota. the Dakotas and the
middle Rocky mountain region.
Drought continues in portions of
Kansas. Heavy rains prevented rapid
progress of corn in a large portion of
Missouri. Indiana and Illinois; but else
where work advanc' satisfactorily.
Planting has begun as far north as the
southern portions of South Dakota
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Winter wheat is now heading as far
north as southern Kansas and Mis-
souri, The general condition of this
crop continues highl., favorable in the
states east of the Rocky mountains
not SO favorable for completion of
wheat seeding over the northern por-
tions of North dakota and Minnesota
and early spring wheat over the CEN
trail portion of the spring wheat region

ress. In Nebraska and Colorado the
crop is promising.

importers TO avoid the customs laws,
ana during this time goods valued at

greater menace than is offered by the po-

one or two others it should deal effective

being made in their own minds by certain
hearers that such power is liable to abuse.
OF course it is. The power of taxation is
liable TO grave abuse. and yet it must eX-

In the appropriate legislative body you.
cannot get any needed power given to the

power being abused. There must be the
possibility of abuse or there cannot be
the possibility of effective use

minis. Warden Hunter departed for the
Anamosa penitentiary this morning
bearing u parole for Martin May, who
is serving Il life sentence for wife muir
der.
May will have no intimation of his

teen years ago. His daughter. then a
mere child. was bitter in her demand
that he be given Il life sentence.
Since then she has married and re-
pented. She takes the position that her
mother had given her father adequate
cause for commission of the crime. as
She had taken to drink and was guilty
of gross infidelity.
Warden Hunter became interested in
the mans case and co-operated in the
daughters efforts to secure Il parole.
May is an expert florist and has charge
