The Insurance companies that arc backing the prosecution have retained S. B Wadiworth and he Is In the case looking after thn Interests of several of the com panies. The testimony yesterday referred alto gether to thu direction ot the wind , am during the day the court and Jury were troatfJ to several learned disquisitions 01 meteorological matters. L. A. Welsh , loca forecast olllccr from Omaha , was on the stain during the forenoon and exhibited the gov ernment charts and records showing the direction of the wind during the afternoon and the day of December 13. He Is also a witness for the defense and testified at the former trial. G. D. Sweczy , professor of meteorology In the University of Nebraska at Lincoln , was on the stand for some time and gave a technical but Interesting dissertation on the subject of wind and weather. He explained the accepted scientific theory as to the causes producing winds nnd gave a lengthy description of the vagaries or the breeze In this locality. He declared that the windier the day the more uncertain It was as to the course ot the winds. The wind never blows steadily nnd harJ rrom any positive direc tion. Strong winds come In gusts and these gusts will be found keeping the weather vanes on the highest steeples dancing around to keep In line with the current. The winds might come In a general direction for several hours at a time , but the great air waves would be found coming from points varying several degrees from this general direction. Ho explained that this Is due to the topography or the country and declare ! that largo buildings had a corresponding modifying Influence. The testimony of bctsi of the weather experts was to the clfecl that on the afternoon In question the wind uns blowing from the south southeast and might have varied a few points cither way during numerous Intervals. A score of witnesses , who were chiefly citizens living In that portion of the city lying east of the site of the llro and many blocks north , testified that they were obliged to light to protect their property from the embers that arose from the burning build ings and uero carried by the wind In some nstances n mile and' ' a half. One witness : cstllled that the blazing embers fell as far east as the High school cut. Two witnesses , Frlsby and Reed , gave some material testl- nony concerning the origin of the fire. They wore In the vicinity at 6:30 : , and while Heed was talking to Frlsby his attention was at- ractcd by seeing a woman passing along he street In front of the Wler-Shugart wari - louse ston and peer Into the windows. He saw a nickering light shining through the window and made an Investigation. When ie looked Into-the window ho saw the floor of the warehouse was afire at a point about flvo feet from the wall on the Main street side and about eighty-three feet from the south end of the structure. The fire ap- learcd' ' to bo breaking through the floor. He ; &vo the alarm at once , but within a few minutes the Shugart building was a masi of flames outside and Inside. /The prosecution has about 100 witnesses to examine. Judge Thornell left for his home n Sidney Immediately nrter the adjournment of court fqr the purpose of spending the Sabbath with his family. WEEK. \niatiMir Mlnxtrrln Help Out n. Church Other A ( In Irs. The Pickaninny minstrels given at Cham bers' hall last Monday night under the aus- ) lces of the women of St. Paul's church irovcd a success from all points of view. Jharacterlstlo old negro melodies , with top- cal and popular songs bubbling from the throats of twenty-six "burnt cork" young men and "missuses" kept the large au- llenco In good humor and occasionally warmed them up to vociferous applause. iVhen the curtain rose disclosing a setil- clrclo or black damsels backed by the black Vpollos , all smiling with that happy and rrcslstlbly contagious negro smile that not only stretches from ear to ear but envelope ho audience , the applauding was deafening. The C. C , of C. C. girls Imitated men's full evening dress as nearly ap possible and still emitted the feminine skirt. They wcro ver- ' tablo'studles In black and white. The glrlo twirled the tambourines and the boys ma- ilpulated the bones In a manner that would mvo made the real thing wonder. Some or ho local kids were exceedingly clever. Arter ho program the floor was cleared and the iiidlcnco joined the actors In a merry dance , fho Ice cream nnd candy table , In charge of the young women , proved an exceedingly sweet feature of the entertainment and was veil patronized.

"The city council will this season have a greater number of petitions 'presented from citizens desiring to have their streets paved or repaved than ever before In the history of the city , " remarked a member of the council yesterday. "I have been making a rip over town for the purposeof ascertaln- ng the condition of the street pavcuionts. n many places the condition Is simply ap palling. The frost is beginning to go out of the ground and the streets covered with old cedar blocks a'rc almoet Impassable. Vlten all of the frost Is gone the bottom will drop out and driving will be almost out of he question. Driving for pleasure has long Inco ceased on many of these streets , which are built up with the finest and most costly residences In the city , but In a few weeks aAout all other kinds of truffle will cease. This condition will certainly create a de mand for now pavements that will be tronger than any plea for econo'my or cry of hard times , and the council will bo asked o order new paving. Time has overcome ono objection to taking up the old blocks. The promise was inade when the wooden lavements were laid that they wouU last for en years. There- are very few streets In own where a longer period has not elapsed Ince the pavement was laid , and the promise or the contractors and the city has been more than fulfilled. There nro over eleven nlles of this kind of paving In the city , and t Is fair to presume that a portion of the Itlzcns who live along the untidy streets vlll ask the city for new pavements. It is alFo certain that these requests wUJ bo ; rnnted In most Instances. The rule adopted > y the council that no pavement shall be rdored until a majority or the taxpayers In- crestcd have signed the petition asking for tAvill be observed , but under the rulings of lie supreme court the city has absolute ) owcr to order the work done oven if all or ho property owners oppose It. It may be hat this power will be used on some of tlio treats where the old paving has become uch a nulsanco that it can bo no longer olerated. "Brick paving Is the thing and we are atUfied that the best quality of brick pave ment can be laid this year at the lowest > rico ever paid for such work In Council Huffs or any other western city. We have offers from reliable contractors to guarantee he < beat quality of material and work at a prlco that Is In the neighborhood of $1 a quaro yar J. "Taking out of consideration all desire to mvo neat and tidy streets for the expos- ! Ion year , the question of public health will Iguro In the matter this season. Miles of otten wooden paving soaked with sewage annot but he dangerous breeding grounder or disease. I have been assured by jnoni- icrs of the local medical society that the oclcty will soon take up the matter for con- Ideratton and join in the crusade for better i.ivlng. The work can now bo done with- ut Increasing the city's general J'ebt ' , for 11 of the Intersections arc now charged up o the abutting property. Under the new aw tro city docs not even guarantee- the > ayment of the coat , hut agrees to act merely s tht < collector of the special taxes and lay over the amounts collected to the con- ractors. This Is not as advantageous to he contractor as the old law that made the Ity responsible , 'hut there are plenty or con- ractors ready to do the work at the lowest trices and tnko the chances or securing irompt payment. I think the paving cam- talgn will open In a few weeks. " My SUi NIL ! . The Jeweler will occupy No , 9 North Main trect hereafter. Owing to poor health must tult close confinement.
