and Charles A. Sharp , officers of tbo defunct
Midland State bank , will not bo tried on the
f charge ot fraudulent banking. Such was the
f decision of Judge Slabaugh handed dawn
yesterday afternoon.
Tbo Midland State bank closed -its doors
eomo yearn ago and it Is charged that on the
day before the failure ot thn concern , the
_ officers received deposits , well knowing that
the bank was Insolvent. During the vacation
preceding the February term of tbo district

Bharp with the crime ot fraudulent banking.
lie alto alleged that on the day of the fail-
1 urn ot the bank , the officers received his de
posits. The Johnsons and Sharp were given
a preliminary hearing before Judge Scott
and were held to answer before the Judge
A of the criminal section of the district court.
The attorneys for < the bank officials filed a
pica In abatement , contending that a Judge
of the district court had no Jurisdiction as
an examining magistrate. To this plea the
attorney for McKenni demurred , alleging
that the plea In abatement did not constitute
a defense. The questions raised by these
pleadings were argued before Judge Sla
baugh some tlmo ago and a decision handed
down yesterday.
SUSTAINS THE PLEA.
In pasting upon the case Judge Slabaugh
rovleued the law at eomo length , citing
cisc-3 and reading from the decisions of the
courts ot Nebraska and other states. He
nald ho was firmly convinced that prior to
1S73 the statutes of Nebraska conferred
upon the Judges of the district court author
ity and power to sit as examining magis
trates. At the session of the legislature of
that year the law was repealed and the
1 > ewer taken away. Taking this view of the
lnv. Judge Slabaugh said hewould > overrule
the demurrer and sustain the plea in abate
ment.
The action ot Judge Slabaugh throws the
case out ot court , but It docs not end
< the litigation , for In ha-adlng down hla decis
ion , he stated that he had directed the count ?
Attorney to make a thorough Investigation
of the charges alleged by McKenna. If that
official finds them to bo true , the Judge will
order a vigorous prosecution. If suit Is
( brought , he said he wanted It Instituted and
conducted along the regular lines , the same
us other criminal causes. In pointing out
ithe course to follow , Judge Slabaugh said
there is the county Judge , the police judge
end numerous Justices of the peace , all of
whom have unquestioned Jurisdiction as ex
amining magistrates and before whom the
action can bo brought If the county attorney
believed there Is sufficient cause to Justify
the filing of art Information , die salj over
ruling tbe demurrer aod sustaining the plea
ill abatement will not delay the final hear
ing of the case In the least , as the preltml
nary steps can be taken and the trial bad
t the 'May term ot court.
TERM ADJOURNS.
The February term of the district courl
bM teen adjourned. The order was entered
yesterday afternoon "by " JuJge Slatiaugh ,
after he had passed on the case of the State
against Johnson and others. All ot the other
judges quit business some days ago. Judge
Slabaugb was not ready at that time , owing
to the fact that ho had some bonds ia crim
inal cases that had tobo rennwoJ.
The next term of the district court will
convene on May 2 , but It Is not likely to
bo a long session as there Is a light docket.
In addition to this , the judges are anxious
to get through with their 'work ' ta order that
they may put In considerable time In promoting
meting the exposition. Tie Jury- trials can
not last longer than six week * , an Jurors
have been drawn for only the first and second
end three weeks of the term.
IT WAS O.XLY A WBATIIEU KITE.
Object of Much Curious and 801110
vAliprclieimtvc Speeuliitlon.
Hundreds ot Omaha reelden-ta flighted a
big white speck out to the northwest heavens
yesterday morning and puzzled their brains
to establish its Identity. , gome declared it
to be last year's air ship ; others'lnelsted that
It was a planet and opined that a planet seen
fa the daytime Is a sure sign of war. Not
ono In a thousand tilt upon the right solu
tion that It was a kite sent up at the re
cently established kite station.
The station is located on the top of a knoll
near Fiftieth and Cumlng streets , where
plenty of room Is given for the experiments.
Aerial Observer C. K. Rdblttsco hoisted the
'big ' kite for the first time late Tuesday , aft
ernoon , but few people noticed It. As It
hung In the heavens at the second ascension
yesterday morning and Its white canvas
sides gleamed in the bright sunlight , It at
tracted universal attention. Both flights were
very successful. On Tuesday evening the
kite went up a little over 5,000 feet at the
end ot 7,500 feet of line. Yesterday morning
It arose about 4,200 feet with the same length
of wire. It was Intended to try another
flight yesterday afternoon , but the wind was
not strong enough. A ten-mlle-an-hour
breeze la required to raise the big kite.
The kite la about seven feet long , atout
as high and- nearly three feet k width and
yet weighs not more than ten pounds , with
Its Instrument attached. It Is what Is known
as a box kite and Ls composed ot two "cells
or compartments. These are simply formed
by. strips of canvas fastened about the frame
work. The string consists of fine steel wire ,
12,000 feet of which is wound upon a reel.
To hoist the kite , It Is carried about 1,000
feet from the reel. The man at the latter
rapidly winds itup and the kite goes up
a-s an ordinary paper kite does -when a boy
runs to ralao It. The reel is arranged upoa
a pivot so that it veers whatever an upper
current of air congee the course' of the
kite.
kite.Doth
Doth flights so far made- have -been only
trials , since the Instrument with which data
of the upper currents IB to be secured has
not arrived. This Is a combination barograph ,
which registers the pressure of the air ; a
thermograph , which records the tempera
ture ; a hygrometer , which registers the hu
midity , a-ad an anemometer , which takes
the wind velocity. The instrument is self-
registering. The only other Instrument
used Is what U termed a mcthoscope , which
shows the height of the kite. Attached to
the reel U an Indicator to show the amount
of wire tkat ts out and Its angle.
The aerial observer bad quite a bit ot
work to do during a night. An the kite goes
up its Instrument registers continually tbo
condition of the currents of air through
which It passes. During all thin tlm.9 . the
observer is taking account ot the surface
conditions. For example he notes the pres
sure , temperature , humidity and wind ve
locity on earth when the kite la up 1,000.
2.000 feet and so on. In making up hla report
the surface data cad these registered by the
Instrument are compared.
Form u Union.
A masi meeting of the newsboys of the
city -was held last night at 1520 Fnrnam
street. It was their purpose to organize
a union under a c'narter which has been
pranted by the Central Inbor union. About

by the boys In defense of what they re
garded as their rights , ami n fund was
raised for the furtherance of newsboys' In
terests. More than J1CO has been placed In
charge of fne treasurer for this purpose.

J. W. Burns and William Dvvyer were ar-
retited last evening wnlle "boosting" not
only a plain and Illegal gambling device but
Just as palpable a "skin game.1' The arrest
was not made , however , ito break up the
operation ot the game , because that wia al
lowed to proceed without molestation. Tne
police were simply forced to gather in the
two men because they are wanted in an
other city on a serious charge. They fvro
consequently charged with being fugitives
from justice from Nashville , where they are
olid to bo wanted for a shooting affray.
The men have been the cappers for a game
which has been allowed torun unmolested
for Boveral weeka on Sixteenth between Chicago
cage and Davenport atrceU. The proprietor
U one Klrechbaum , who has found his busi
ness so profitable at this place that ho has
opened another office near the corner of
Fourteenth and Douglas streets. Both places
have been well patronized and have paid
well , inasmuch as the player stand * no
chance of beating the game.
The proposition offered at the game looks
good. The sucker Is provided for 23 centa
with a ball , which he shies at an object at
the rear of the board. In falling the 'ball
hits a board covered with pegs , skipping be
tween them until it reaches pockets at the
bottom. If it lands In certain ot the pockets
the thrower Is repaid t a rate of four to one ,
receiving | 1 for hla quarter.
In order to bring the Interest of the spec
tators to the playing point a lot ot "booat-
j I tera" or "cappers" come up and buy balls
at u quarter apiece. These Invariably prove
successful , falling Into the $1 holes , and the
manipulator promptly hands out the del
lar. When an outsider throws , " however ,
-tho board la switched and the ball , when It
reaches the bottom ot the board , could not
bo forced into a winning pocket with a crow
bar.
bar.Chief
Chief Gallagher , although he admitted that
the game U ot the "oMn" order , oiys the
men were not arrested for taking part In
It. Ho declares that the game U run under
a llcenao and that he does not feel called
upon , therefore , to Interfere with It. He
says the men were arrested on tbu strength
of a letter received some time ago from
Nut-hvllle , where they are wanted for taking
part In some port of a shooting scrape , hav
ing jumped their bonds. The chief knew that
the men were in the city and had located
them for some time but did not attempt to
arrest them until laat night.
"I wanted to see if they Intended to be
straight , and as they showed no Intention ot
doing that I caused them to bo arrested , " he
declaimed.
The NashvlK'e ' authorities will be notified
of the arrest immediately.

CHICAGO. April 20. The railroads have
the opinion that the supreme court will this
week declare that tha Joint Traffic associa
tion Is an Illegal organization , and Idcy aie
already proceeding to manage their affairs
without any reference to It or Its orders.
Instructions were quietly passed around
among the railroads to contracting agents
today trctt they oecdi i > iy no attention to
the rulrs of the- Joint Traffic na. violation In
securing their 'business ' , and the reault was
that there was a lively general scramble for
buslnrea In which contracts were made for
handling grain between Chicago and tbo
Atlantic seaboird as low so ) 10 ccnta.
ThU demoralization appeared In the ab-
ser > ; e of any authentic Information that a
decision adverse to the Joint Traffic associa
tion had- been rendered , end It la expected
that It will become woraa If the dealon !
should he aa much agalnat the roads as

The re-ate admit that they have no direct
Information as to what the decision will be ,
but at the same time they say that they
have no doubt that It will declare tha asso

CHICAGO , April 20. Passenger officials of
the roads centering in Chicago are divided
on the question as to whether the railroads ,
or the purchaser of tickets , should pay the
tax to be Imposed by the government In case
of war. Some are of the opinion that the
maximum rMe law effective in some states
will prevent them from adding anything to
the present price of tickets and others wy
that the Increase wll | not bo an increase In
the rrlce ot the tickets , but will be a tax ,
and that the government and the passengers
can settle the matter between them , and on
far as mate law on the subject of maximum
rates is concerned the law from the govern
ment will take precedence over any enact-
went by state lesU'oturrs.
Another question la whether the tax will
be made to ccvcr all fares paid for transpor
tation , or simply tickets gold. It tbe latter
construction 'i ' Jo rule therwdi aay theji
will sell few tickets over the coun' r and
that nine out of ton rapscnsers will pay
