 ONE MOST BITTER TRINI.S .S

St. Joseph, Mo-, Dec 5.-At the end of the bitterest trial St Joseph has ever known, a jury after one hour and fifteen minutes deliberation, vindicat- ed Buchanan comtys prosecuting at torney, Oscar Mcdaniel, of the charge that he murdered his pretty wife, the mother of his three children, last July.
 Mcdaniel was at his home when the sheriff announced that the jury had reached verdict, and there was de- lay of 10 minutes while waiting for Mcdaniel to reach the courtroom.
 The verdict was handed to the sheriff and then to the court.
 Judge Ryan first warned the audi ence against demonstration of any kind, and then read:
 We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty"
 McDaniel's aged mother threw her arm around her son and kissed him. and said:
 'I told you Oscar never did itr
 Mcdaniel shook hands with the jury, thanking each individually. Then the great crowd surged around him and extended hearty congratulations.
 It is understood the jury took but three ballots. Seven are said to have favored acquittal on the first, 10 on the second a.! on the third they made it unanimous.

CIVIC BOARD SUBMITS
 HEALTH ORDINANCE

With a few notifications the city com mission in conference yesterday morning with the Women's Civic league voted to adopt at it's next regular meeting the pure food and service ordinance recom- mended by the ladies.
 If the new ordinance is enforced as it is written it will absolutely provide san1- tation as far as serving in cafes and selling in stores are concerned. The Bir- miEgham health department also recom- mended the passage of the ordinance,
 The ordinance regulates most everything connected with selling or serving edibles. It requires sanitary regulations for bak- cries and kitchens provides for sanitary washing and cleaning: provides penalty for any establishment hiring person with communicable disease; it applies to restaurants. bakeries, soda fountains, groceries, meat markets and fruit stands. In fact the new ordinance follows the lines of the latest regulations adopted in progressive cities, protects the con- sumer in purchases of practically every thing edible and drinkable.
