MRS. M'DONALD FREED.
She Is Acquitted of the Charge of MUIR
dering Webster Guerin.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Mrs. Dora McDon-
aid, who has been on trial here since
January 20 on the charge of numbering
Webster Guerin, was acquitted by
jury in the criminal court last night.
The verdict was reached after six and
half hours of deliberation. The de-
fendant, who is the widow of Michael
c. Mcdonald. the former millionaire
gambling king and political leader In
Chicago, received the verdict without
apparent emotion. During the trial she
had frequently collapsed, and on sew
eral occasions the case has been inter-
rupted in order that she might receive
medical attention She was the least
moved of any of the persons concern
ing the defense, her attendant being
so overcome that Mrs. Mcdonald was
compelled to exchange roles with her
and try to quiet the woman.
Members of the jury took an oath be-
fore reporting their finding not to re-
veal the history of their deliberations
The first ballot they said stood to a
for acquittal, but subsequent develop
ments were carefully kept secret. After
Mrs. Mcdonald had been discharged
she was taken to a hotel by relatives.
It was announced later that she will
retire to a sanitarium. Despite her
nervous and physical condition during
the trial and the months following the
tragedy no hint of insanity was offered
as a defense at the trial. @f-
Webster S. Guerin was shot and kill
ed in his studio in the Omaha building,
La Sale and Van Buren streets, Feb
ruary 81, 1907. Mrs. Mcdonald was
alone with him when the tragedy oc-
Cured, and was Immediately arrested
and charged with murder. Her hus-
band and Leopold Freeman. president
of the Champion Chemical works, sign
ed bail bonds for $4,000 after her in
dictment March 80, 1907.
The shock of the tragedy, revealing as
it did Mrs. McDonald's liason with
Guerin, proved disastrous to Mcdonald
and he died August 9, 1907, after an ILL
ness of several weeks. His fortune was
left to the accused woman and his two
sons, one the child of former mar
riage. Special provision was made in
his will for Mrs. McDonald's defense
and the instrument was attacked in
court by his former wife, Mrs. Mary
Mcdonald, from whom he had obtain
ed a divorce This suit is still pending.
It developed at the trial just concluded
that Guerin and Mrs. Dora Mcdonald
had been more or less intimate for al
most ten years, their relations having
begun when Guerin was less than II
years old. The state asserted that
Guerin had attempted to dissolve the
relations and that the woman shot him
in a jealous rage. The defense attack
ed Guerin's character asserting that he
had Systematically blackmailed Mrs
Mcdonald for years, and offered evi-
dence tending to show that he had at
tackled her in his studio on the day of
the tragedy.

How's YOUR VOCABULARY?
How Many Words Can You Use in
Conversation of 26O, 900 Available.

Have you ever taken stock of your
voca bulary or given thought to the ex-
preston you use to find out whether
there are any few which you use too
often?
When we come down to examine
ourselves we find that we can get along
very easily with limited number of
words. but the fewer we employ the
more likely we are to use certain
phrases over and over again in the
same conversation
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge tells us
that there are 100000 good English
words we may use If we will, but what
man who ever spoke English had that
many different words at his command? :?
Few persons in ordinary life agree
SO far as their practices are concerned
with the statement Of President Eliot
of Harvard: 81 recognize but one
of education of a lady or gentleman,
an accurate and refined use of the
mother tongue"
In the days that are past and gone,
we are told. it was the custom to teach
the young to speak correctly and
f1uent1y, but this has entirely gone out
of fashion, it would seem. We can
find men today who tower in the pro-
fessions and in the arts and sciences
who are as awkward as children when
they are forced to enter into conversa-
ton. They are deeply read and past
masters in their various lines of work.
but the vocabularies they possess are
SO small that they can not unfold the
things they know to those who have
not mastered the technical terms
which have been to them a life study.
But they are by no means the chief
offenders. There are thousands and
thousands who feel that they are per-
fectly capable of holding their own in
the world who are unable to define GER
tain words which they may have read
hundreds of times in their lives. big
word, skip is the motto of such folks,
and by refusing to take the trouble
of Cooking up this or that word when
they do not comprehend it's meaning
they pass 1t by and trust to providence
that they may never come in contact
with it again.
Even in our public schools today, 1t
must be said, the proper attention is
not paid to the teaching of language
that is, the meaning of words. Unless
the pupil goes we'll into the higher
The Topeka state journal., 1908-02-12

schools his knowledge Of words and
their meanings is sadly deficient. While
President Eliot may hold that fluent
and accurate speech is one OF the
prime requisites in life, the public
schools do not go to any great pains
instill this thought into the minds OF
their pupils. OF course, they do not
ignore it altogether-but they do not
impress upon the mind of the child
how. much it means to go on cultivat-
ing a vocabulary both in and outside
of the school room.
On the contrary, we are all very dill
gent in studying and exercising the
slang words with which we meet Let
a colloquialism spring up in one city
and it will not be very long before it
will have gone to the length and
breadth of the entire country.-Phila-

ELLA SHUPPE'S LAMENT.
Arrested While RegaIing Herself
With a Glass of Beer.

Ella %Schuppe, who holds the long
distance profanity record for the city
and county of Salt Lake, was brought
into police headquarters yesterday aft
ernoon, charged with being a vagrant.
1t seems that Ella was arrested on
Tuesday by PatrOlman John Pitts on
a charge of drunkenness. Somehow or
other she was released before she a
come to trial. Her release was I'M
known to Pitts, who found her yeSter-
day afternoon consuming a glass of
beer in a saloon known as the Lone
Star. He was surprised to see her at
liberty and took her in charge. He es-
corted her to the police station. where
the desk sergeant also was surprised to
see her, as Ella vas supposed to be in
Jail.
When Ella was led up to the desk
she protested most vigorously, and de
clared that she would get even with
the force for molesting her just for
drinking glass of suds. For Patrol
mar Pitts she showed a marked aver
sion expressed in a choice line of oaths
when the desk sergeant told her that
she was to be booked on a charge of
using obscene language. She became
highly indignant, and said she would
see about this business of arresting a
woman o a charge of using unseen
language"

BOARDS ACTION
CAUSES COMMENT
Resolution of School Authori-
ties Respecting Engagement
of Teachers.
CONCILIATORY COMMENTS
MADE BY SUPT. CHRISTENSEN
AND PRESIDENT KINGSBURY.

1t is manifest that the resolution
adopted by the city board of
Tuesday evening respecting the prac-
tice of other educational institutions
taking away teacher from the city
corps, made some people sit up and
take notice. Tbs resolution was hidden
away in a committee report, n was
coucbed in language so guarded as to
make il positively meaningless to any
rerson who did not know conditions.
Some of the reporters took occasion to
interpret the resolution, and yesterday
the exchange of explanations was
made. The result of il all, ~unquestion-
ably, will be hat the prOmiscuous
grabbing of teachers by certain schools
from the best there is in the city
schools will cease, and that due regard
will be given to professional ethics
hereafter in this connection.
Mr.. Christensen's Statement.
d. II. Christensen, superintendent of
city schools, was the recipient of not
an incOnsiderable amount of attention
yesterday. There were numerous in
quiries as to the why and the where

Christensen yesterday afternoon, by
request. issued this statement:

THINKS SHERIFF
IS H|GHWAyMAN
Mr.. HiIdebrand Takes to His
Heels and Is Shot Through
Leg at Milford.

NJ. Hildebrand, a miner from Mill
ford, Beaver county, arrived in Salt
Lake Tuesday. suffering from a gunshot
wound which he said was inflicted by
Sheriff Hedge of that place on the
night of Sept. p.
HildebTand say he was in a box car
in company with nothe man when
the sheriff appeared and ordered both
of them out. AS they stepped put of
the car, Hildebrand started to run, as
he thought the sheriff was a highway
man. He had over $40 on his person
at the time, and thought he was going
to be held up. The sheriff, without a
word of warning, according to Hide
brand, drew his gun and fired. hitting
him in the left leg just below the thigh
and infiicting a wound which made
him helpless.
When he was lying on the ground the
sheriff came up and accused him of be-
ing a man wanted for a diamond rob-
berry which occurred in Caliente, New.
a few days before. When .Hildebrand
proved to the SheTiff's satisfaction that
he was not the man wanted. he VaS
ordered out of town, after having his
wound dressed.
He came to Salt Lake and stopped
at a lodging house Tuesday night,
where his wound panied him until he
felt unable to bear the suffering longer.
He appeared at the police station on
crutches and told his story. He was
sent to the quarters of the Volunteers
of Americas office. and there had his
injuries cared for.
Hildebrand's wound consists of IA
ragged hole through the heshy part OF
his leg. He was shot from behind, as
he was running away from the sheriff.
He is without funds and is wandering
the streets on crutches.
