Dr. W. Queen desires us to say that the report that his son had absented himself
from the city for the past four years to aviod arrest is untrue and that if Constable
Beach desired to find the young man her could have done so at any time. Mr. Queen says that his son had full power to sign his name to any orders. and has afflixed his
siguature to hundreds of dollars worth of paper. The previous arrest was for mortgaging property belonging to himself, and he was promptly released.

In Memory of the Dead.
At early morning today, the heavens looked as though they about to drench the earth with moisture, and destory the pleasant hopes of those who had intanded to pay once more their respects and honored dead ; but in a few hours the clouds moved away, the sun came out, and the day proved as pleasent as one could wish for. From the federal state, cousty and city buildings hung the stars and strips, while many business houses were approprlately decorated.
Towards noon a number of farmers came in and joined the throng which gatherd
to hear the cermonies of the day.

-------------------------
The acquittal of Monday McFarland of complicity in the murder of John Sheedy appears to have been based upon the unomalous theory that while a majorty of the jury were morally convinced of the guilt of the woman they were unable, under the evidence to legally find in accordance with this belief, and hence,
feeling that really McFarland was the less to blame for the crime, it was decided to even things up by absolving him from the penalties of the crime.
Juror Robertson is reported to have said in a conversation with Judge Field,
after the Jury had been discharged, that eight of his collergues serve satisfied
morally, upon retlring after the arugment closed, that Mrs. Sheedy was guilty,
but under the law they could not find in accordance with this moral conviction.
This belief must have been evolved from the evidence, or otherwise how was it reached? No one was given access to the jury during the progress of the trial, and the question naturally arises, from what other source could they have drawn this influnce of guilt?
Nine of juros are said to have ex-pressed an affirmative opinion as to the guilt of McFarland at first but were afterwards indaced by the reading of the instrucations and examination of the confession to change their minds and place themesevles on record as disbelivers that McFarland dealt the blow that killed John Sheedy. Who did kill him is now permanently relegated to the domain of speculation. The trial has cost the county probably $ 5, 000 or $ 6, 000, and as no plasuslbe reason for suspecting other parties than those tried and sequited exists, it is not atall probable that any further attempt will be made by the authorities to hunt
down the slaver of John Sheedy. and his death will go unavenged until the heavens roll up as a scroll and all mortaitly is summoned before that court where all will be judged by the eternal lqulties of unsullied justice and not by the gulbbles and technical sophirstries of human law.
Mrs. Sheedy, who, despite her serene demeanor, is reported to be quite ill, will remain in the city serveral days after which she will leave for Iowa to visit her mother, whose health is said to be in quite poor health. Just what disposition will be made of the property of the Sheedy estate remains yet to be seen, but it
is probable some of it will be sold to liquidate her attorney's fees, said to be $ 12,500, secured by mortgage or deed.
Judge Weir, the eminent attorney from Boise City, Idaho, whose services were secured through Col. Biggerstaff, uncle of Mrs. Sheedy, and also a resident of
Boise, will return home this evening to resume the extensive practice in the grest young common wealth recently admitted to the afterhood of states. Judge Weir. who was for four years chief justice of the Idaho territorial supereme court, is a leading democrat of his state and one of the leading and most gifted of northwestern democrats. His dignified hearing, wide rrange of legal attainment and pleasing sociability has made for him many friends in Lincoln who will regret to learn of his departure. Col. Biggerstaff, who is one of the wealthlest and widely known of Idaho citizens, will accompany Judge Weir.
Stearns & Strode, the attorneys who have had the managemnt of the defense for Mrs. Sheeds, have won a splendid victory and presumably gatherd in the largest fee ever recived in a single case in the legal history of Nebraska. They conducted an admirable defense and won against great odds.
However, great may have been the achivemnt of Stearns & Strode, it re-mains for unbiased public opinion to acords Col. Phillpott and Mr. Woodward a rare acknowledgemnt of legal and intellectula genius for the masteryly display of legal acumer that secured for them an acquiial of their cleint, whose fate, irrespective of that of Mrs. Sheedy seemded sealed. That Phillpott and Woodward should effect the relese of Monday McFarland in face of his reiterated confession staggers human belief and rebounds to their lasting credit as attornes. They have vindicated themselves beyond criticlam.
