Tho trial of ex-Alderman Ernest Stuht
on tho chargo of llleKal twe of about 2,500,
000 gallons of water frora the Omaha Water
company was commenced before Judge
Loarn Monday attomoon. For years Stunt
has been an opponent of tho company and
has fought It at every turn and he soys he
Is going to slay with tho present fight to
tho finish. The caso against Stuht Is based
on tho alleged tapping of a wntor main on
Eleventh streot, to supply his ton houses
and a hotel, situated along that street be
tweon Paclno and Mason streets. But one
witness was heard Monday nnd when court
adjourned tho hearing was continued until
9 o'clock Wednesday morning,
Btuht owns night house's on tho east sldo
of KloTunth street, In the block south of
Faclfiii street. On tho west side of tho
street ho has two houses anil n hotel.
Thoro In a main In Klcventh street nnd one
In Pacific strool. IJurlng 1898 tho houses
on thn west sldo of Klcventh street were
supplied with water from a service pipe
from tho main In that street, a meter box
being placed In front of tho two houses.
That meter wsh taken out and a lino of
plpei was run from the service plpo cast of
tho houso on tho cast sldo of tho street,
o that all ten houses and tho hotel wcro
supplied by water passing through one
tnotcr.
IIr llnoilrrlnkd (lie Meter.
Tho allegation of tho water company Is
that during March, 1839. Stuht mndo a con
nection through tho moter box west of
Bloventh stroot, from which tho meter had
boon removed! that ho thon partly turned
off tho water coming through Iho Pr.clflc
troet servlco pipe, receiving the greater
portion of the water iniod by way of tho
Eleventh street main on which there was
no motor.
Tho ono witness on the stand Monday
afternoon was F. O. Kunz, who has charge
of tho meter and who makes out the bills
for tho company. According to his state
ment It appeared that Stuht, during 1898,
usod from 1.17,000 to 200,000 gallons of watnr
a month for tho ten houses nnd the hotel.
Then tho showing of tho meters dropped
off, on tho nvcrnge for ISM. nbotit 100,000
gallons per month, nnd for 1P00, about U0,
000 gnllons per month. Ho said tho offi
cial of tho company wero suspicious till
tho time, but they did not find what they
considered tho cause until last November,
when tho connection throurh tho rrlrnt
moter bor on Klcventh street was discov

Kunr stated that Mm 111 I A n Vl n T tr tsiA fr m

Queen Victoria
Tho Hrltlsh contingent In Omaha, num
bering about 4,000 former subjects of Queen
Victoria, have been watching reports of
her majesty's Illness very closely and gen
eral regret Is expressed.
While tho former subjects of the queen,
now citizens of Omaha, have hecome thor
oughly Americanized, there still remains
with them a tender sentiment for the land
of their nativity nnd tho passing ruler
thereof. As nn evidence of this feeling, tho
Hrltlsh colony of this city contributed $1,000
to tho fund for tho queen's Jubilee a short
while ago, and the offering was wholly un
solicited. To appropriate the languaga of
a prominent Englishman: "Our contribution
of $1,000 not only showed our respect for
our former sovereign, but demonstrnted
American liberality and prosperity."
Some of the local estimates of Qutcn
Victoria's character nro as follows:
Ilrllevp In Illble.
M. A. Hall, Hrltlsh Vice Consul Tho
threatoncd death of Queen Victoria has
caused widespread sorrow throughout tho
civilized world. Her position nmong sov
ereigns was unique, because she has been
pre-eminently In favor at all times of those
movements which tend to the betterment of
humanity. Her nlm has appeared to bo
throughout her whole rolgn to eluvato the
standard, not only of her subjects, who nro
found In overy part of tho globo, but also
of nil others,
Perhaps nothing shows the goodness of
her heart and disposition better than thn
response made by her to those envoys from
tho dark continent a great mnny years ago.
Helng presented to her they asked her for
tho secret of England's greatness. She Im
mediately naked for a bible, and, handing
It to them, said; "This is tho secret of
England's greatness."
Queen Victoria has proven herself to be
not only n successful ruler of subjects, but
also a model wife and a good mother. She
has reared a very large family, and sho has
at all times caused to be Inculcated Into the
minds of her children tho paramount Idea
of having the greatest good done to tho
greatest number in nil matters pertaining
to government. I believe that her death
will not cnuao any groat chnnges either In
financial or governmental circles. The
prince of Wales has been very closely Iden
tified with the administration of affairs ror
a long period. Ha Is now about 60 years of
ago and certainly Is In a much better po
filtlgn to take chargo of the kingdom than
he would havo been had ho been called
upon earlier In his career. It has been his
duty and pleasure for many years to as
sist her majesty In all social functions and
he haB relieved her more and more each
succeeding year of the burdens which nec
essarily attach to her position as queen.
With his knowledge of the men who have
been conducting the affairs of government,
and alto owing to his wide knowledgo of
other governments and the men In power,
I am firmly of tho opinion that his adminis
tration will be such ns' to give a new K-ase
of life to the Hrltlsh empire.

I know not to whom wo can so fittingly

May 24, 1819, when she was born; June 20,
1837, when sho became queen of England;
January 10, 1840, when she married Prlnco

John V. Parish, who Is contesting the
election of (ieorge W. Shields to the orilco
of county attorney, made the remarkable
net gain of nineteen votes In the recount of
the ballots of the First ward of Omaha
yesterday afternoon.
All last week the tedious work of count
ing the ballots continued In Judge Vinson
haler's court, and on Saturday, when the
votes from all of the South Omaha pre
cincts but one had been gono over, tho
contestant hnd a net gain of only one vote.
This looked rather discouraging for Mr.
Parish, who had expected to gain heavily
by n recount of tho South Omaha ballots,
and some of his friends advised him to dis
continue the count and try out the contest
solely on tho charges of fraud rnado In his
pleadings. The contestant, howover, said
he was In tho fight to n finish and proposed
to carry It out as originally planned.
(Jnliin fur I'nrlati.
When court opened yesterday morning
the ballots returned from tho First nnd
Second wards of the city of Omaha wero
Identified by the election judges and or
dered counted by the court. Parish mr.do a
gain over the return of the election Judges
In overy precinct of the First ward, and
when tho count was completed It showed a
total net gain of nineteen votes for him.
In the count of the ballots from the
fourth precinct of tho Second ward, Mr.
Shields made a net gain of two votes, re
ducing Mr. Parish's net gain tor the day to
seventeen. Tho count of the Second ward
ballots will be continued this morning.
Mr. Parish's net gain In tho contest thus
far Is eighteen votes, with all of the city
precincts excepting those of tho First ward
nnd ono of the Second ward, and nil of the
country precincts yet to count. The con
testant has reduced tho majority of sov-cnty-four

Guy C. Harton Queen Victoria will go
down In history ns ono of the noblest and
purest women who ever occupied n throno.
Her Influence upon English society has been
thnt of any pure-minded woman multiplied
In Its effect by hor position nnd ability.
I doubt If hor demise will havo any great
effect upon tno nffntrs of tho empire. Un
til her successor Is well established In
his scat, the markets will bo affected. I
bollevo that in this country wo are feeling
tho effect of her Illness In a business way
as well as In England, but the conserva
tive party Is strongly entrenched In power
In that country nnd no revolution can take
place. With the constitutional monarchy
the government comes nearly to a govern
ment by tho people. Even the most ex
treme radicals nro loyal to tho throne. An
American cannot undcrstnnd the feeling
of tho Engllsbmnn for his queen tho feel
ing Is accompanied with something like
that wo feel for divinity.

J. Y. Craig The deinlso of the crown
will have little effect upon English politics
or society. Tbo cabinet has things welt
In hand In that country and will take
chargo. Tho prlnco of Wales will be declared
king and everything will move along as
usual. Queen Victoria has been a noble
woman and her Influence upon the lives
of her people has boen remarkable. In
every capacity she has fulfilled tho bopcB
of every one. The prlnco of Wales has
been wild, but ho certainly has finished
bis sowing of wild oatB. If he shows any
signs of being less than the monarch should
be, tho ministry will hold him In check.
Hurry I.HMrte' Katiiuntv.
Hurry Lawrle I onco had tho pleasure
of scolng Queen Victoria. It was In
tho fall of 1880, when, as tho custom haj
been for many years, she was attending
tho athletic sports at Hallater, near Hal
moral, Scotland. I remember her as a
plump, well nourished woman, without be
ing what Is generally understood as fleshy,
rather plain of fnco except when she smiled,
and then her countennnce lit up wonder
fully. Queen Victoria was loved by all her sub
jects, from tbo highest to the lowest, and
her death will be mourned In overy part
of the globe. Her reign was peculiarly
marked by tho purity of her court and for
the strictness with which she excluded
anything appronchlng moral laxity. She
kept closoly In touch with tho affairs
of her government, signing all' Important
public documents herself, and exercising
all other prerogatives of queen with dignity
nnd an oye single to tho welfare of her
subjects. It Ib a matter of history that
never but once has a prime minister pre
sumed to usurp any of her authority, and
the reprimand ho received from tho queen
dlscouragod any further attempt of this
kind. This presumptuous prime minister
was Lord Paimerron, who had the Infeli
city to Inform her majesty that Parliament
had passed a certain measure, that he had
signed It and that it had become a law
He was politely Informed that thereafter
she as queen would save him the trouble
of passing upon similar matters.

True 4o Her Siilijecls.
As n Scotchman and a Scotch-American
citizen I greatly esteem tho life of Queen
Victoria nnd so long ns llfo Is nparcd mo
I will cherish her memory. Ah queen of
Great nrltaln nnd empress of India she was
nt nil times mindful of the best Interests
nnd welfare nf her subjects wherever they
wero plncod In her great empire. It was
ns her representative that tho prince of
Wnlcs visited India, nnd In her old ngc she,
visited Ireland nnd had even thero n hearty
welcomethe best evidence that could be
offered of the great regard In which she
wns hold by the Irish people. The Irish
pennl laws, which had tholr origin In tho
revolution of lt!88, gave tho Irish good caiue
for hard feelings toward tho crown, but tho
improved condition of Ireland nnd tho Irish
people Is duo to Catholic emancipation and
to legislation, which nearly all had Its
origin and growth In her long rolgn of sixty
three years. H Is, however, as a Scotch
man that I speak a word of praise for the
upright and noble queen, whose whole life
was an example of righteousness. Apart
from her public Interest In tho kingdom,
she was passionately fond of Scotland and
devotedly attached to many of Its great
mon. Sho found in Dr. McLood and tho
duke of Argyle companionship nnd wise
council, and her lovo of Scotland has dono
much to raise that small country to a
proper place In proportion to Its great men
and Its lufiucnco ou tho affairs of tho world.
If space, would permit I would llko to speak
of her from the standpoint of an American
citizen. When her government, in the early
days of our war of the rebellion, wns in
spirit and policy opposod to our success, It
wsb then that tho queen and her noble hus
band, "Albert tho Good," threw their In
fluence on the sldo of the north and In
favor of the principles that wo were
through turmoil and trouble trying to
maintain.
As Americans we may well In these her
last days says with Tennyson:
Mny nil lovo His love, unseen but felt,
o'ershndnw thee.
Tho lovo of nil thy sons encompass thee,
The lovo of all thy daughters cherish thee,
Tho lovo of nil thy people comfort thee,

During all of her long llfo she was con

Press association to get en rapport with
tho subject In hand, a newspaper will be
printed upon the stogo lu full view of the
delecates during the entlro session of tho
convention. Attending this latest mani
festation of realism on the stage will be
shown a real editor cdttlug teal copy, a
real compositor setting real typo on a rent
typesetting machine, a real devil Inking
toil proofs, and bo on, All aro ngreej thnt
this Is the very quintessence of realism,
discounting tho milking of n cow and tlu
churning of butter before the footlights.
This now'spapcr. which Is to bo known ns
tho Dally Nebraska Press, will be Issued
In two afternoon editions, coincident with
the two dally sessions. It will bo an eight
page, four-column sheet, complete In nil
Us departments, and Its editor, W. N. Huso
of the Norfolk News, guarantees that It
wilt fill n long felt want, even though It
has not como to stay.
Tho machine to be used In this unlquo
exhibit Is Known ns tho Simplex typeset
ter, which differs from the linotypes In
moro common use In that it sets tho Indi
vidual types Instead of molding lines of
type. Copy will be furnished by oil tho
delegates to tho convention, each of whom
Is to consider himself n reporter for the
time being. Tho only phases of getting out
a newspaper which will not he, shown on
tho stngc nro tho stereotyping and prrss
work, which wll bo done nt tho Western
Newspaper Union.
About fifty of tho delegates had ar
rived up to midnight last night nnd It Is
expected thnt every train from the west,
north or south today will bear Its quota
of newspaper talent. It is supposed that
nt leust 200 delegates will bo present. Hy
10 o'clock this morning tho secretary's
office In the Murray hotel will be opened
for enrollment and by 2 this afternoon tho
first session will bo called to order nt
Crelghton hall. The election of ofllcers
for tho ensuing year will bo tho first order
of business nfter tho convention Is or
ganized. After the close of tho evening
sepwlou there will be n recoptlon tendered
to tho visiting women of the .association by
tho women of thn Omaha Equality club, n
universal suffrage organization.
Her To intern lli-rcpl Inn,
At the closo of business Wednesday

at nn Informal reception In tho editorial
rooms of Tho Omaha Hco. Itefrcshmenrs

W N. Huse, one of tho delegates to ar
rlvo early, Is editor of tho Norfolk Dally
News. Ho was president of the Nebraska
Press association n year ago.
A. W. Lndd, editor of tho Albion News,
is ono of those who bellcvo that publish
ing n country newspaper Is a business, not
a profession. "In proportion to the time
nnd energy expended," he says, "thero Is
Just as much money In getting out n coun
try weekly as there Is In running a country
grocery store."
Mnrkwood Holmes, sometimes called
"Cordwood" Holmes, editor of tho Cllppcr
Cltlzcn, Lexington, Is ono of tho most even-
tempered nnd consulcutlous of newspaper
publishers. One cold winter's day about
eight yearn ago ho was In a hurry to go
to press, but was delayed nt tho critical
moment by the discovery that the rollers
were ns hard ns adamant. He Icitned them
up bcsldo tho stove, built n hot tiro nnd
went ncross tho street to seo why Frank
Krlcr hadn't returned his mallet and
planer borrowed tho week before. Whon
he got back there was nothing left of the
rollers but the cores. A man who hnd
called to get his paper "hot from tho press"
was scraping the roller composition oft
his shoes.
'Where did nil this molasses como from?"
he asked.
"I guess the keg must have busted," said
Mnrk, ns he snt down to write to Omnhn for
n new set of rollers.
Tho Clipper-Citizen wns printed on tho
proofpress thnt week, but Mnrk was as
good-natured nbnut tt as though someone
had come In to pay six years' back sub
scription.
Frank O. Edgecombe, editor of the Ne-
braskn Signal, though lacking thn ndvnn
tago of eyesight. Is among the most suc
cessful of newspnpor men. Tho Signal has
probably tho Inrgcst circulation of any
country paper In tho state. Mr. Edgecombe
wns formerly n bnnker nnd when ho went
Into the newspaper business he conducted
It on tho same general lines that he had
conducted his bank. His first move was In
tho direction of centralization. He bought
up four newspapers in Flllmorn county nnd
merged them Into one, the Nebraska Sig
nal, which he now publishes nt Geneva.
His is ono of tho few country papers tho
typo of which Is set on a machine.
N. E, Foster, editor of tho Plnlnvlcw
News and corresponding secretary of the
Nebraska Press association, Is mentioned

INSOMNIA is (v

orgnuism is
strong enough to stand
up under the strain of
sleepless nights? It Is
plain that nothing in the
world can possibly take
the place of restful sleep,
yet many try to eke out
an existence without this
sustaining power. Their
nerves are in such n state
of tension that sleep Is
nn impossibility, or at
best Is a series of hideous
dreams. It is not strange
thnt physical nnd mental
weakness, amounting

soon to complete prostrntlon, follows Inability to sleep There is no

quiet slumber, to a full renewal of energy. The fatigue of body nnd

Sleep is tho Indication given
by Nature as a guide to human

shows that there arc inherent
in the wonderful human

constructed by Dr. Orcenc to
help Nature combat the ills
