Allschuler, the conductor, is q man
OF great talent, and under his all
controlling baton, the fifty different
instruments comprising the orchestra,
blend into one harmonious whole.
Single tickets will range In price
from two and a half to one dollar,

said:

Charles w. F1ack. OF Macomb, be-
gan the closing argument on behalf
Of the defendant. Attorney F1ack, all
ways rated high as a pleader before a
Jury, was at his best and in a voice
of thunder, he scored the officials OF
Adams counuty and the detectives
who have assisted the state in the
preparation of the case. With his
face as pale as death and with q
voice that fairly shook with anger,
he denounced the sheriff, the states
attorney and the other officials of Ad-
ans county for what he termed the
persecution" Of the defendant.

CHARGE TO THE JURY
Flaek Makes STRONG Plea In Closing
Argument to the Jury,
For the De-
PENDANT.

MACoMB. Ill, Oct. 24.-At tan
O'clock tonight the jury in the
Pfanschmidt case had reached no
agreement. Under orders from
Judge Waggoner, the jurors will not
discuss the ase on Sunday. The
court told them that If they failed to
reach an agreement by ten o'clock.
they would be allowed to retire, and
that no further deliberations would
be held until Monday morning.
At 11:10 this morning the jurors in
the case Of Ray P~fanschmidt retired
to deliberate upon the verdict which
would declare the Adams county
youth guilty or innocent.
States Attorney Fred Wolfe nm
ished his address at 1850. Judge
Waggoner took twenty minutes to
give his instructions to the Jury. The
twelve men we're then placed IN
charge OF Bailtffs Watson and Solo
mon and sent to their room for their
deliberations.
In his charge to the Jury this
morning. Judge Waggoner gave the
usual instructions in regard to rea-
sonable doubt. the definitions of MUIR
der and the rules of circumstantial
evidence. The supreme court, al
though It reversed the former case
on account Of many rror by the
trial court, found that the instfuc-
tons as a whole we're correct and
based no error on these instructions.
For this eason the giving Of the in
structions today did not u Judge
Waggoner a great deal Of trouble. He
gave the jury three forms Of verdict.
one for guilty with the death penalty
attached, one guilty with the penalty
Ia term in the penitentiary. and n
for not guilty.

Gives Preference of
Court House Site
Editor New Era:

Editor New Era:
DEAR SIR-I have been studying
the plat 10 recent issue Of your pa.
per showing the different proposed
sites for the new court house. have
arrived at the conclusion that there Ia
but one OF them that should be coo-
sidered. viz. the half block east Of
the Methodist church, for the follow
ing reasons: The two blocks east Of
Idaho avenue are out Of the way and
totally UNFIT for the purpose. The
same Is true with the two blocks east
and northeast of the high school. As
the Main street Is rapidly filling up
the block between Third aud Fourth
streets should be left for business
houses SO as not to curtail the expaI-
sion of business, the life Of the town.
This leaves the above mentioned
half block, the heart OF the town.
Put the court house there and We will
have "Main" street 10 fact, with two
blocks for business use and three con.
secutive blocks for public purposes
with nice residences facing them.

to hints of an extraordinary appetite.
and provoked by signs that seemed to
bear out the weirdest flights Of his de-
lkrious fancies.
There were apparently indisputable
evidences of a woman's recent pres

folded upon second bed of aromatic
bslsam in the farther corner; an effect
Of orderliness not common with

gauntlets depending from nail in the

There was also fire in the cook

There was no other living thing In
