FToIl tuCSoaJ Say'
Mr.. and Mrs. William L. Schwandt
left the district court room this morn
ing free to 60 as they please, and with
the charge of murder that was placed
upon them by the grand jury removed.
County Attorney Plymat, when the call
of the calendar was made this morn
ing, moved that the indictment against
the two defendants be dismissed on
the ground that there was no evidence
to connect them with the murder of
the late II. j. Ledbeter. The court
granted the motion and exonerated the
bond. The defendants have been out
on bail for the greater part of the
time since their arrest. Since the YER
diet of the jury freeing Mrs. Ledbeter,
they have anticipated that the indict-
ment against them would be dismissed,
and came to the city yesterday with
that expectation.
Possessed Evidence of a Motive.
County Attorney Plymat states that
the state possessed strong evidence OF
a motive on the part of the defend
ants, but that beyond that there was
little to connect them with the muir
der. Frank Smiths statement did not
connect them with that, more than as
sisting in the second burial and con-
cealing the fact, and many have ques-
toned the truth of this statement of
Smith.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schwandt now seem to
be permanently eliminated from the
case, so far as the courts are concerned,
and all suspicion has been officially
removed from their shoulders. What
ever action the next grand jury may
take in regard to others, the Schwandts
will probably never again be placed in
jeopardy.
Running Down All Evidence
The county attorney is receiving all
testimony that can be secured involv-
ing criminal acts on the part of anyone,
growing out of the trial of Mrs. Led
better. Most of the reports brought in
and run down have not developed any
evidence.
Judge Pau has decided not to pro-
nounce sentence upon Frank Smith this
afternoon, and states that he will not
do so until after he has passed upon
the motion for new trial, which is
to be argued Jan. %.

The formal opening of the annual
poultry show of the Central Minnesota
Poultry association took place this aft
ernoon, and the show room was crowd
ed with citizens, who were delighted
with the great number and variety of
fowls, and the dogs and cats. The band
was out and paraded the streets early
in the afternoon, in the big blueiay,
drawn by four, horses, and attractively
decorated, while half a dozen spielers
with megaphones announced the show.
The band, afterwards, rendered several
selections at the show. 1t will play
there again this evening.
Many Dogs on Exhibition.
The cat and dog part of the show
opened this afternoon, with fifty to
seventy-five dogs on exhibition, each in
his own apartment. The cats were also
present in their glory, keeping watchful
eyes on the dogs across the aisle. To
the clatter of the various kinds of
fowl was added the barking of dogs
and the meowing of cats. 1t is a
great sight, and nobody should fail to
attend.
The management expresses itself as
surprised and delighted with the pat
ronage thus far extended it by the
public. The paid admissions have been
numerous and have shown that the in
terest in the poultry business is grow

The North Mankato Mems club was
formally launched at a meeting held
last night in the Belgrade Avenue
tened the North Mankato Mems club,
and is organized for the purpose of ad-
vancing the welfare of North MankatO
and its members.
The meeting last night opened with
splendid prospects. A supper was
served by the Ladies' Aid society, fol-
lowed by a short business meeting. A
constitution was adopted which stipu-
lates that men of twenty years or more
may become members by paying II
yearly fee of 81. Boys of the ages
between sixteen and twenty years may
become members by paying fee of
80 cents a year. The time of meeting
shall be the first Thursday of each
month. The Mankato Commercial Col
lege orchestra rendered a number of
selections, adding greatly to the pleas
ures of the evening
Professor c. Z. Ball read paper on
the prospects of North Mankato, delv-
ing into the early days when the viii
lage site was dense underground of
timber, the home of the Indian, fol-
lowed by reciting the great and rapid
growth to the present day. Mr.. Ball
said that the time was soon at hand
for the providing of waterworks, sew
erage and park, the latter ne sug-
gested might be located about Spring
lake. Ten years from now, Mr.. Ball
city of 5000 inhabitants.
President L. f. Mccormick called on
others for rmarks, and those who re-
spOnded were unanimous on many
things that would be helpful to North
Mankato. One speaker urged the i'm
provement of the surroundings of many
homes, which have poorly kept lawns,
with no trees, shrubs, vines or flow
ers and having delapidated fences. A
great deal of benefit would be derived
if some care were given to these things
which cost nothing and which count for
great deal in bringing buyers and
renters to North Mankato. President
Mccormick appointed committee of
four to solicit membership.
The club starts with a membership
of twenty eight. Announcement of the
program for the next meeting will be
made in due time to allow all to come
prepared with suggestions along lines
that are practical.

The HOBEN RECITAL
At CENTRAL union
Much Interest and Attention Given
by an Appreciative Audience
Performance Perfect.

That the announcement that Sydney
Iloben would give an organ recital nj
Central Union Church was welcome To
Honolulu muslc-iovers was evident by
the large and representative audience
last night
Mr.. Hoben comes to Honolulu highly
accredited as an experienced organist,
and his masterful handling of the Cen
trail Union recital gave much pleasure.
As with most church organs, II was not
built for solo display, but neverthe.
less Mr.. HOben obtained considerable
variety from IT, even to an echo effect
as In Batiste's pretty Andante In A..
The fullest power of the organ was
used in Refers imposing "Marche
Solenvelle" and Lefebure-Wely's "Of
fertoire" lin each of which there Is
exacting pedal work., but there is no;
great deal of power to be obtained
although II Is pleasantly full. II was
in Batistes Andante; In the Pilgrim,
Song Of Hope" with the interest o
eyer.continuing melody and brilha?t
scientillating variations: and In til,
"Tanhauser" except "Oh Star of Eve
that Mr.. Hoben was best enabled I;
exhibit delicacy of expression. Wag
her has given his beautiful melody al
absolutely quietness and simplicity o
accompaniment and treatment. comm
as il does after the stress and tear u
the tragic scenes which have precee,
1t.
In having vocal assistance at hi
recital, Mr.. Hoben departed from Gus
tom, organ recitals are for the instru
ment alone.
Mrs. Allen White and Mr.. Phil!
Hall were the singers; accompanie
by Miss M. Clarke. Mrs. Whites sol
rano voice is sweet, and Mr.. Hall ha
a promising tenor.
Judging by the success Of last even
ing's recital and by the remarks OF tn
audience further recitals by Mr.. ic
ben would be acceptable. The organ
list handed over half Of the collection
last evening TO the Church Anti'Tul
erculosis Campaign Fund.
