VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT.
Suit with Many Legal Tangles Tried
Before Jury IN the Municipal Court.

Before Jury IN the Municipal Court.
The jury in the case of Mrs. Jennie
wilkins and Mrs Marsh was to force Mr..
Napoleon Castine returned a verdict for
the defendant after being out an hour and
a half Tuesday night The case involved
many legal taugles ana the greater part
Of Saturday afternoon ana evening was
taken up in hearing the evidence. The
court adjourned until Tuesday afternoon
at 4 o'clock when the counsel gave their
arguments and Judge T.. W. Gibson in
structed the jury. The jury retired about
$50 o'clock and came in about with
the verdict The plaintiffs appealed to
the county court
The suit was brought to recover 81
due Mrs wilkins and Mrs Marsh for
boarding men employed by c. 5, wilkins,
husband of one of the plaintiffs. Mr..
Castine owed Mr.. wilkins money on a
numbering job and the amount in his
hands was trusteed by the Valley Grain
company and by John Moynihan in suits
brought to recover money due them by
Mr.. wilkins. The suit brought by Mrs,
wilkins and Mrs. Marsh, was to force Mr..
Castine to pay the money to them and
not to the Valley Grain company and Mr.,
MOynihan. Mr.. Castine was both abba
and willing to pay the money but did
not know to whom he was legally bound
to pay it. The question was whether the
board money was due the plaintiffs or
Mr. Wilkins. The contract for cutting
the lumber and for boarding the men was
made at the same time, but the PLAINTIFF S
evidence tended to show that the ac-
counts were kept separate.
The jury was c. l.. Stickney, John A.
Davis, w. II. Bryant, John L, Roess,
George e. Fox and c. A. Smith. II. G..
and F. e. Barber were for the plaintiff
and Robert c. Bacon for the defendant.

An ARTISTIC performance Which was
Fitting Finale to the Notable Theatrical
Season.
Glorious Betsy" was a glorious pro-
ductiou and Il fitting finale for the nota-
BILE theatrical season of l906-07. \ thor
oughly representative audience filled every
seat in the Auditorium Friday evening
ana gave Miss Mary Mannering and her
excellent company enthusiastic calls at
the close of each of the four acts. 1t
was a finished, artistic performance
throughout. Much is demanded in the
stellar role, but Miss Mannering met
every requirement. portraying the sweet,
impulsive, irrepressibe girl who in the
development of her romance, scared to
ambitious heights and dropped in self
sacrificing abnegation. The play had
nothing of the tragic nature no unscru-
pulOus plotting no seamy side, but the
threatened crushing of the affections of
the principals through the demands OF
Napoleon made a picture so intense in its
feelings that the effect was somewhat
sombre. Miss Mannering was a master
of all the moods of the part, and always
had her audience thoroughly in sympathy
with her, as the girlish sprite, the gay
coquette, the imprisoned lover, the
strong woman matched against Napoleon
the bruised figure or the rejoiced and
finally triumphant maiden. Mr.. Warwick
looked the part to perfection and was ac-
ceptable in his acting Mr.. Bonelli was
hardly an IDEAL Napoleon, especially If
one had seen that character in Kathryn
Kidder's Madame Sans Gene" ]. Ed
ward Trevor was very pleasing as the
titled lrishman and the other actors were
uniformly good, notably Mr. Carr as Bet
sy's father, and Helen Macbeth as Eliza
Monroe, The darkies made one amusing
scene as they watched the reception from
the old rose garden Four complete sets
of scenery gave the play a fine setting
The play is of the historical romance
variety and has its foundation in the
visit of jerome Bonaparte, one of the
younger brothers of Napoleon to America

SPEAKER N. E. KENDALL
governor at the last election and this
afternoon will meet jointly to hear
the reading of the message of Gov
ernor Cummins.
Tomorrow will be devoted to
routine business and on Thursday Gov
ernor Cummins will be inaugurated
for another term and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Garst will be sworn in. Then
both houses will get down to hard

to make this a record breaking ses
zion in time and work accomplished
Inaugural to Be Brief.
Much interest is being manifested in
what Governor Cummins will have to
say to the public in his inaugural adj
dress on Thursday, the third address
Of the kind to be delivered by him.
His message, dealing as 1t necessarily
must with affairs of state interest only
and recommendations for the legis-
lators, could be somewhat easily fore
casted, SO far as its salient points are
concerned, but not so with the inaug-
ural address. There the field of dis
cussion is unlimited, and it is expect
ed the governor will say some things
which will cause the leaders in other
states to turn their eyes once more
towards Iowa. 1t can safely be pre-
dicted that the governor will not take
backward step on any matter of re-
form he has been advocating in the
past six years. While he accepted the
platform of his party in the last cam
paign, and while that platform was
construed to be opposed to present
tariff revision, it will be remembered
that Governor Cummins definitely de-
clared that he had no word to recall
of all that he had ever uttered ON that
subject.
1t is probable, also, that big corpor-
ations will receive some attention at
his hands and that reciprocity will
come In for a good share of discussion
in the address. The inaugural ad.
dress, it Is stated, will be rather brief
