JlcnrltiR Crlm'nnl Cnnos in the District Court Pleading Insanity for a Culprit Tlio Nonpntvll Sold Minor Mention. Judge Dceraer held an evening session of tbo district court for the purpose of hearing the evidence In regard to the application for a receiver forIho citato of Catherine Kccnan. Catherine Kccnan was the wife of Pcllx Keenan , alias Jlra Wilson , who Is now an In mate of St. Bernard's Insane hospital.

He has therefore made application to the court for tbo appointment of u receiver.Viiitiu'r' main ground for the application Is that Schefllcr is squander ing tht > property , which consists of tha Cal ifornia housn on Lower Broadway , a ihvcll- Ing on Glen avenue nnci some other real estate of more or less value. He was put on the stand to teitlfy to the character of Si'hefllcr nnd during the pumping that fol lowed some very racy bits of testimony were brought eu' . If Wagner's story is to bo be lieved , there has been a gambling outfit over the "Onico. " at : HI5 Broadway , for several months past , in spite of the fact th&t the authorities believed there \\iis not a gambling house In the business portion of the city. When asked what grounds be had for his opinion , he re plied that hu had heard so on the street , and , Jurthcrmoie , bo had a friend in Atlantic that was done 'ip for ? 300 In the house.

District Court News Yesterday morning was the time set for the opening of tbo criminal docket in the dis trict court. The lirst case on the assignment was that of the state against S. Terry , on the charge of attempting a criminal assault on a twelveearold girl named Grace Geiger of Mlndcn. Terry was formerly a photographer in Mlnclon , but since his arrest several months ago ho bus given up active business pur suits of all kinds and has devoted him self to the task of boarding with Sheriff O'Neill. Wneu the cose was called for trial Terry wa-i led to the cojrt room. During his conilncment bo has become worn and haggard , and .shows the effects of his Im prisonment more than any other of the in mates. His attorneys requested that the trial of the case bo postponed for a time , as they intended to muke a defense of insanity and' they wished to have nn opportunity to have their client examined by the ins.-ine commissioners. At length It was decided to grant the request and Terry was allowed to go baclc to jail. The next case was that of the state against August Olderog and Martin Doescher , chnreed with horses-tcaliug. Dan O'Connor , who lives near Weston , was the prosecuting witness. Ho claimed that the two men bud taken a team tram bis place und ridden it at a break-neck spued to underwood , and that one or his horses had oeeu ruined by the bard driving and the exposure that followed. Oldemg and Doescher admit that they took the team , but they chum as their defense that- they were both so completely under the In fluence of liquor that they did not know what they ore doing. They introduced a number of witnesses to testify to their good reputa tion. The case was submitted to the Jury at 5 o'clock. The sealed verdict that was returned Sat urday night by the Jury in the case of .Marion Patterson against W. H. Dooley , was opened yesterday morning , and was found to contain a verdict for the defendant. Judge Smith held ccart yesterday In the library room , the two coses of M. S. Stout against J. H. Plumtr , county xreasurer , tnd W. H. Dooley against J. N. Plumer and the city of Council Bluffs being up for trial. The suits are for the purpose of enjoining tbc defendants from coilectinguho taxes for the last two years which have been levied upon the fur- nlturo of the Ogden house , on the grnund that the plaintiffs are not tbo owners of the property.

Fred Wltzklo , who lives on Williams street , said'that ho bos never been quite right in his mind , but ever since he was a baby ho has occn nfilicted with a harmless sort of idiocy.

Pros and Cons of Inflated Confidence Talked by Sundowners. Several prominent gentlemen from outside were present at the bi-weekly banquet of the Sundown clue last evening. Among them wore General Benjamin Butterworth of Chicago , secretary and solicitor general of th'ivoild's fair commission ; A. G Scott of Kearney , William Gordon , vice president of the Traders Natidnnl bank and a prominent attorney of Washington , and O. C. Green , also of Washington , and the gentleman who soli' ' ex-President Cleveland his country scat of Oak View. These gentlemen nro all cap italists , and witn Mr. Lowe Emerson of Cin cinnati , Mr. Grableof this city and several others will leave this morning on a tour of observation through the northwest. Judge Irvine presided overthe banquet to which fifty of the Sundowners and their friends sat down in the cafe of the Paxton. The subject selected for the postprandial remarks wni "Booms and Their Influence , " nnd in point of numbers at least the boomers had awiiv the best of it. Mr. William McCague , the first speaker of the evening , appeared as the champion of the boom. Ho deferred the word as meaning an unusual activity , and announced that bo would contlno his remarks to the boom as it applied to real estate and commercial busi ness. Real estate docs not glow in proportion tion with the city. The speaker said that ho wanted ono thing understood , and that Is that to determine the merits of the boom the comparison must be made of the situation after the boom has flattened and as it was before the boom started , and not between the statu of affairs at the top of the boom and after it is over. He briefly discussed the booms of Duluth , Indianapolis , Seattle , Wichita , Minneapolis and St. Paul , and then took up Omaha. He thought that the tir.it crash in Omaha's boom was caused by the braak in the boom of Wichita , but was certain that there were enough evidences on every hand to convince any Intelligent man that tne boom was a grand , good thing for the city. Ho thought that booms were not wild , weird thliiss , but a necessity , and to a reasonablccxtcntshould bo encouraged. Mr. R.-B. Peattie , as the second speaker , said ho dld'nt know much aoout booms , and would'nt tell what ho did'nt know. Ho char acterized a boom as a municipal fever , und was naturally followed by a pwiod of exhaus tion. Ho objected ' 9 the commercial bluffing Indulged in by certain towns whose wild ex pectations buvo impossibility of fruition , and which is solely an American attribute. Ho was aware that a town could bo built , by Oi-edulity , whien is sometimes branded' confidence , but did not think it honest to ad- vertUo falsely and Induce others to come and fall into the bog with you , when you knsw that there are already .1,000 men In town who nrc out of work. Ho favored a moral boom , a boom that would result in tbo election of honest county commissioners , and councilmen above suspicion , and : \ police force not in col lusion witn the keepers of gambling houses. General Butterworth was called upon and said that hu was besought during Om'aha's Doom to invest some of bis savings hero and bis refusal to do so had not resulted , to his financial advantage. Ho thought there was no Justification In plain lying , even if It ap plied to n boom of misrepresentation. All civilization is a boom , and. a boom is not a boom wnen it passes the line of the legiti mate. The distinguished gentleman proved himself to be a boomer from tiio ground up , and got in several good words for his adopted city of Chicago in u very interesting way. Dr. Clarkd Gapen thought a boom was a necessity , but like a pair of spirited horses , it ought to bo ruined In and controlled. He did not think the aim should bo to extend tbo outskirts and try to moke a blggoc city than. , Chlcnzo. Ho thought tbo tendency should bo toward a growth In strength ratlior than In size. Mr. G. M. Hitchcock announced himself as n believer In booms. Ho thought God helped those who helped themselves , and believed this applied to communities as well'as to individuals. Ho said that tbo territory trib utary to Ouiuha can only bo lost by neglect , nnd did not think that she should go on the theory that everything comes to him who waits. Mr. Mnrplo said that God might help those who helpsfl themielves , but bo had uotlcod that the devil generally had to sign thu note. Ha didn't want to see any moro real estate booms , but wanted to have a moral boom , in Omaha right away. "Glvo the people a chance. " pathetically pleaded thq speaker , "and don't make them merely thank God that they are alive , " None of the other gentlemen seemed anx ious to ventilate , and thu chairman sprung the early hours rule , and the banquet was at an end.
