Our statement that the first of the three trials of Jacob Dluzak, at Monticello, on the corn stealing charge, resulted in a disagreement of the jury, was a mistake. Our inforfnation was obtained from a Monticello paper, which now corrects itself and says that at the first trial Dluzak was convicted and sentenced to from one to three years in the penitentiary; but the court granted him a new trial on the grounds of error in the admission of certain testimony.

Charles Grow, E. F. Conner, John Carr, Ernest Stewart, J- F, •Irwin, Mrs. Peter Wasson, Mrs. S. C. Barkley and Mrs. C. E, Mills are attending the Carnival at Lafayette today. The jury in the Joseph Putt will case, sustained the original will, but rejected all the codicils. The verdict will give Mrs. Moosmiller and children, $650, and to Mrs. Riddle S3OO and Geo. Putts SBOO. The codicils reduced their shares much below those suns. In our Fremont-McKinley voters’ list we somehow missed the name of Norman Warner. Uncle Norm voted for Fremont in 1856 and every Republican candidate since, and intends to put in as solid a one for McKinley as he did for any of them. The Nowels-Robinson company have purchased 3000 stock sheep in addition to the many cattle to be fed on the ranch this winter.

The big gasoline engine which is to operate the feed grinders, pumps and other machinery in the great barn at St. Joseph’s college, was received and hauled out, today. It is from the Fairbanks company, weighs 7600 pounds and is of 16 horse power. One of the big teams from the college hauled it out. The load, including the several men, and the supporting timbers on the wagon, must have been nearly 4| tons. Considered purely as an orator, if there is a greater one engaged in the political campaign today, than Albert J. Beveridge, the brilliant junior senator from Indiana, we know not whom he is. His great speech at Chicago was published by the leading Republican and Independent press all over the country. So also will be his speech at the Nebraska State rally, which is given in full in our today’s issue. It is a grand speech. In the George Conn family, which went to Kentland, only the one small-pox case, Mrs. Conn’s has as yet developed. The family stopped at Seafield a while before going to Kentland, and may have sowed the disease there. This George vConn, himself, tried to break his quarantine at Kentland, but was driven back to the house by the town marshal, and is kept there by threats of prosecution.

Walker, the court stenographer is not only one bt the most rapid and accurate short band reporters in the state, but he also is a phenomenon in rapidly manipulating a type-writer. His remarkable skill in this respect was shown during a trial Friday. A witness was on the stand who had wholly lost his hearing, though still able to talk all right, Air. Walker sat by his side, with a type writer. The attorney would fire the questions at, the witness and almost by the time the question was out of the lawyer's mouth Air. Walker would have it written out and held up before the witness. The witness would read and answer, and the lawyer would fire another question.

Mrs. Silas Tooms Sr., the first and the oldest of the small-pox cases in the Silas Tooms family, near Comer, has got very bad again, and but very slight hopes are entertained for her recovery. She was very bad and not expected

to live when first taken, but she got better and seemed to be getting well, but has suffered a relapse. Her sickness is complicated with a bad chronic stomach trouble And that, more perhaps than the small-pox is causing her present very dangerous condition. The other three cases in the family are all recovering very nicely. Mrs. Anna M. Biddle, widow of the late Judge Horace P. Biddle, of Logansport,'died last Sunday afternoon, aged 87 years. She was born in Pennsylvania and in the early 30’s settled in Logansport with her parents. In 1846 she was married to Judge Biddle but lived with her husband only a few months. The direct cause of the separation was never known and still remains a matter of speculation. After their separation the chief pleasure in the life of each seemed to be found in hating the other. The judge tried several times to secure a divorce, but she always blocked the attempt. Each one was determined to outlive the other, but the Judge passed away several months ago, aged 90 years. Since his death she has been in constant litigation to secure his estate, and has left a legacy of lawing to the beneficiaries of her will.
