w Harmonson of South Omaha, who
Saturday opened a store In the C. r. Han
nan building on Broadway for the sale of
an alleged bankrupt stock of dry goods,
was in police court yesterday morning to
show cause why he should not be required
to pay the license required by city or
dinance of transient merchants. An in
formation had been filed by Chief Rich
mond. Harmonson introduced evidence to
show that he intended to locate perma-
nently in the city and Judge Snyder held
that he did not come under the category
of transient merchants.
A second information had also been filed
against Harmonson for violating a city or
dinaLce by lacking a cloth sign on the
front OF his store. Counsel for Harmon
son attacked the validity of the ordinance
and the hearing, was continued until next
Monday. The ordinance was passed a few
years ago following the advent of one of the
large circuses which on its departure left
a number Of cloth advertising signs tackled
to unoccupied buildings and other places.
They were torn loose by the ravages of
wind and rain and not only became an eye
sore, but were said to be responsible for
frightening horse and causing a bad run

two hours beauty" sleep yesterday morn

knocking at the door. Arising to inquire
the cause he found hack waiting in front
of the house and a stranger at the door.
rs this Mr.. Battey, clerk of the court?'
inquired the stranger as the dispenser of
marriage licenses cautiously opened the
door. Mr.. Battey said the stranger was
correct.
would you mind coming to the court
house and issuing a marriage license?'
further inquired the stranger as Mr.. Bat
tey, clad only in a robe de mutt tried to
protect himself from the cold morning
breeze which blew through the half open
doorway.
well, II is somewhat unusual to issue
marriage licenses at this time of the morn
ing" replied Mr. Battey, but on being
informed by the stranger that he and his
expectant bride wished to catch an early
train home, he consented. After donnlng
suitable attire Mr.. Battey accompanied the
stranger to the court house. The bride-to-
be was at the Kiel hotel close by.

CRESTON, Ia, Feb .-(Special.)-The
coroners jury, empaneled to determine the
cause of the death of Eldon Seward. the
e-year-old boy who died Friday evening,
showing symptoms of having been pols-
oned. returned a verdict this morning OF
death. due to causes unknown to them.
The inquest commenced yesterday morning
and lasted until 10 o'clock this morning.
number of witnesses were summoned
and a post-mortem examination was held.
There was quite little confusion of testi-
mony by the witnesses. Three of the doc
tors of the city examined the body and
the doctor who was called to attend the
boy said, when questioned as to what cause
he would assign the death of the boy, that
in his opinion the boy died OF arsenic
poisoning. The other two doctors testified
that they found no trace of arsenic poison
and his death in their opinion was due to
ptomaine poisoning. The mother Of the boy
declared that there were no canned goods
in the house and that ptomaine poisoning
could not have originated from that source.
The stomach of the boy will be sent to
Des Moines for a further examination and
the truth of the matter will be determined.
Where the boy got the poison, If such
theory is correct, is the mystifying feature
of the case as the mother declares that
there was no poison in the house with the
exception of some laudnum. which was
purchased for toothache about a week ago
and the symptoms that the boy exhibited
did not in any way resemble that form of
poisoning.
