William Nollman asks to be discharged
from any farther attendance or answer In
court by ,a petition'' filed iesttrdav. 1I
aeta forth that an October 6, 1903. he was
charged with a", crime In an Information,
that h pleaded but guilty and waa re
leased on a recognizance.' He asserts that
though four terms of court have since been
convened, he has not been brought to trial,
although always ready and willing to go to
trial. 1I therefore asks for a discharge
under section 3)1 of the Code of Criminal
I'rocedure.
Clark Ctets tiff Kaally.
George Clark, charged with cutting an
other man with a razor In a suloon row,
was held guilty of armault and battery by
the verdict of the Jury. One cooat of the
Information charged, him with cutting with
Intent to kill and a second count with In
tent to do great bodily harm. The Instruc
tions of the court were to the effect that
aa assault and battery was Included In the
two counts of the Information, a verdict
might be found to that enTect. The Jury
chose tha lighter offense, as the cutting
grew out of a drunken row in South
Omaha. - ..
James B. Butcher, a negro charged with
burglary, plead guilty in Judge Day's court
and waa sentenced to one year In tha peni
tentiary. Butcher broke Into a barn and
tole property to the value of $4. lie haa
previously been convicted and punished for
a like offense ..
Judge Day and a Jury are engaged at
present In the trial of James W. Carter,
a negro ex-convict, who is charged with
robbing , the millinery store of the Tootle
Kessler company and stealing a lot of prop
erty useful to women. The supposition Is
that Carter was looking for a war bonnet,
as he waa In a bad humor and Is regarded
aa rather a dangerous person when on the
war path. After the first case against Car
ter Is disposed of he is likely to be placed
on trial for breaking Into the room of the
Western Fur company in the Dollone hotel
and stealing 200 fur collars and boaa. His
warm reputation doesn't always keep him
from getting sold. It seems.
Carter Is a shrewd negro, who claims
to hava been for tha last year the keeper
of a rooming; house. He Is not without
means, for he haa retained the law Arm of
Crane & Boucher to defend him, and Is
of the trial himself.
., Aovel Procedure in Court.
Thursday afternoon Judge Redlck deliv
ered his Instructions "to the Jury ln the
Sholes-fvnfold case before the arguments
of counsel. This was done on request of
counsel for the defense, aa the statutes give
them the right to request the court to .do
this, although It reverses the ordinary pro
cedure. Seldom has a case of this nature
beri so fiercely contested from start to
llnlnh, especially by the defense. What
ever "tile verdict of the Jury may be. It
eerns . certain that whichever side loses
will appeal. . There have been clashes of
wits ; between' the attorneys, which were
not always as good-natured as one brief en
gagement Thursday morning. Counsel had
becniarguing for and against a certain In
struction' the court had indicated he con
sidered proper, when there coma a pause.
Attorney Ritchie of counsel for tha defense
was-sta'ndrng on the witness stand cogitat
ing some interesting legal point, when At
torney M. A. Hall, leading counsel for tho
plaintiff, said:
"You had something In your mind, Mr.
Ritchie that you desired to say."
. "Oh, thank you," said Mr. Ritchie, with a
broad smile. "You have heretofore said I
had nothing In' my mind so often that your
admission Is quite pleasing "

Martha Morton sounded a clear note In
"Her Lord arid Master." It Is not neces
sarily applicable alone to International mar
riages, nor dos It follow that all couples
who marry, whether their conditions are
high or low, or a combination, need the
warning. It simply points out that both
parties to a match need support and sym
pathy, and that each la inclined now and
then to expect Just a little too much of the
other. Especially is this true If It falls out
that one haa been accustomed to a certain
mode of life with which the other is un
familiar. The ship ln which Indiana Still
water and Viscount Canning launched their
hopes cams mighty nenr wrecking on a
slight temperamental difference, and It re
quires quite the utmost of common sense
and the assistance of the sympathetic
author to get them ln line with each other
again. It finally turn out that each was
right and each waa wrong. It also argues
that the atmosphere of a home that wor
ships ancestors Isn't likely to be the most
conducive to healthy mental . or bodily
growth for a girl who has lived In a coun
try where ancestry isn't pursued back much
farther than the father and mother. And
the whole topic Is handled so deftly that
disaster often impends and Just as ofen Is
turned Into a source of delightful amuse
ment. The comedy Is never strained, but
flows from natural situations In an unaf
fected way, and Is therefore tha more welcome.
Mlaa Helen Orantly, who is now present
ing the play at the Boyd theater, seems to
have caught the spirit of Indiana Still
water, and is giving It a genuinely Intelli
gent interpretation. She fails a little short
In the first act, when her gtrllsh artleas
ness seems too patently an assumption.
But In the succeeding acts, where she Is
called upon to run a wide range of varying
emotions, she is more at home. The fcffec-
tatlon with which she has misled her noble
husband's ultra-conservative mother Is a
strong contrast to tha unaffected and
natural welcome she gives her own, and the
somewhat difficult scene that follows the
Irruption of Grandmother Bunker and
Mamma Stillwater into the Belgravlan
drawing room is neatly handled. In the
subsequent scenes Miss Grantly shows that
she possesses ample reserve force, and
makes much of her opportunities.
The company supporting Miss Grantly
is generally good, the subordinate charac
ters ln the play being well presented,
especially that of Grandma Bunker. The
audience last night, while not large, was
quite appreciative, and rewarded tha ef
forts of tha star and her associates with
calls at the end of each act "Her Lord
and Master" will he presented until after
Saturday night, with a matinee on Satur
day afternoon.
"Mrs. Delaney of Newport" at tha
Krng,
This latest of Melville B. Raymond's
ventures comes nearVr being farce comedy
than musical comedy, but It 1 put together
with such skill and presented with such
snap and vigor that it made an immense
hit before a whacking big house at the
Krug last night. Miss Kate Ellnore Is a
comedienne of that rare type, one who
can be funny and not appear to ba try-)
Ing. She is a satire on the sudden-rich
woman who Is trying to break into so
ciety. Her humor Is droll and quiet at
times and again it Is almost boisterous,
but she knows Just how to handle the
stops and when to put on tha soft pedal,
and the result is that she keeps the laugh
ter bubbling all the time. Miss May Ellnore,
as Mrs. Delaney's daughter, looks pretty,
sings well and helps along the funmaklng
ln a quiet way. Her song, "Eyes of Irish
Blue," is a sweet little ballad and remark
ably well rendered. Ross Snow, Elmer
Jerome and Walter Chester also add much
to the success of the piece with their
comedy characters. The chorus Is a dis
tinctive feature, as it is with all of the
Raymond productions, and Is not only a
lively, hardworking bunch of pretty girls,
but gets every chance to display the al
most endless array of costumes provided
for its use. These are pretty and fetching,
and the stage pictures presented are quite
effective. "Mrs. Delaney of Newport" will
continue Its successful career at the Krug
until after Saturday night, with the usual
matinee on Saturday afternoon.

WINDING CLOCKS -IN SCHOOLS
Board of Education Wants Home One
to Take Contract for
Two years.
The school board wants some one to wind
Its clocks. It has only about B00 time
pieces of various makes and stages of an
tiquity distributed on and ln thirty-five
school buildings and the labor and mental
irritation caused ln keeping the clocks
wound and in running order haa at last
reached a crisis. The word "on" was used
In the preceding sentence out of deference
to the great chronometer ln the tower of
the high school. To wind this giant main
spring requires a strong man or two at the
lever. The Job Is done once a week, which
Is apparently too often for the Janitors, as
a proposed contract to cover the clock
question Includes tha winding of tha tower
timepiece.
The blank contract forms have been pre
pared, but the advertisement has not yet
been acted upon or published. It calls for
a party who will furnish, clean and repair
the half hundred clocks In use besides the
winding at the high school referred to.
Tha clocks must be kept ln good shape all
the time and keep proper time. A. two
year guarantee Is demanded on all work
done and new clocks furnished. . .

The writers refer to a bureau for tha
encouragement of this' purpose, but are at
a loss to whom to address their applica

there was at least one man for every Job

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Paring Contractor! Busj Figuring on
, Missouri Arenas Work.
THREE SAMPLES OF BLOCK TO CHOOSE FROM
Tallt of Repairing Twenty-Fourth
Street Is Itevlred, but nothing
Tangible Concerning It
Has Yet Developed.
Paving, grading and curbing contractors
were busy yesterday at the office of the
city engineer securing data for bids for
the paving of Missouri avenue. The city
council has decided that this thoroughfare
from Thirteenth to Twenty-fourth street
will be paved this year. The estimated
cost is $46.0W. Three samples of block vit
rified brick are now on exhibition at the
engineer's office. One Is the Barr brick,
made at Btreator, 111.; another the Pur
lngton brick, manufactured at Galesburg,
111., and a third, the Metropolitan brick,
made at Canton. 111. All of these brick
blocks weigh and measure about the
same. It will be up to the council to de
cide the kind of brick block to be used.
There Is not much grading to be done,
but bids for this work will come under a
separate head. As for curbing, the coun
cil Is so well satisfied with the artificial
stone curbing laid last year that bids for
this material alone will be considered.
In order to make one district for this
paving, curbing and grading, the council
not lung ago changed the name of li street,
from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth streets,
to Missouri avenue. By doing this the
district can be classed as one, and there
will be a great saving of records in relation
to the assessment of taxes.
In connection with the paving this year
of Missouri avenue there Is talk of pav
ing West Q street and Twenty-fourth
street. The latter subject has been talked
over so much that there Is nothing to be
said about It. A new pavement on Twenty
fourth street Is badly needed, but this can
only be brought about by legislation, as
the property owners on Twenty-fourth
street have not shown any inclination to
sign a petition for the repavlng. '
No Meeting Yet.
President Adklns of the city council said
yesterday that no meeting had been held
with the fire and police commissioners ln
regard to the selection of a site for a fire
hall. Mr. Adklns was of the opinion that
a meeting would be held on Monday and
that tposslbly some action would "be taken
by the council on Monday night. There Is
money ln the fire fund to purchase a site
and the chances are that this will be done
before long, as the headquarters of .the
department on Twenty-fourth street will
soon have to be moved. Of the six bids
opened a number were considered entirely
too high. An Impression seems to prevail
that a site ln the neighborhood of Twenty
fifth and M streets will be chosen. The
property that the Fire board wanted some
time ago at the northeast corner of
Twenty-fifth and L streets has been dis
posed of. There Is property at the south
west corner that is available and Is being
sought after, and this may be purchased
ln preference to the M street property, on
account of the paving and the time the
department would save in making a run
to the stock yards and the Cudahy plant.
Members of the Police board want an in
crease in the levy that the fire department
may be Increased by at least one hose
company and the police fund made large
enough to put on at least twenty-nve men.
In talking about fire protection yester
day, a business man said that another
hose company was needed to be located
In the vicinity of Thirty-third and L.
streets. With a . new . headquarters build
ing, truck and a steamer ln the business
portion of the city,, the No. S Are hall
could be moved nearer Albright and pro
tect the lumber and coal yards there. All
of the Improvements suggested will take
money, and It devolves upon the legisla
ture to pass bills permitting the levy of
more money for the support of both the
fire and police departments.
Rrlggs Files Charges.
Last night Chief of Police Brlggs filed
with Secretary Bergquist of the Fire and
Police board charges against Officer Charles
Thiede and Officer David Ringer. It Is al
leged in the charges that both, of these offi
cers were under the Influence of liquor
while on duty and In uniform on tha night
of February 11. Both have been suspended
by the chief for ten days. The police
board Is expected to set a date for a hearing
within the next day or two.
.. Committee Meets Tonight.
The democratic city central committee
will meet tonight to arrange for the holding
of primaries and a convention to nominate
three members of the Board of Education.
There is some talk of using the delegate
system, Instead of the direct primary plan.
From what was said on the streets yester
day it Is understood that the convention
would be held about March 14, Just a month
later than the republican convention.
Barrett Serves Notices.
P. A. Barrett, special agent of the city
legal department, was busy yesterday serv
ing notices on business men to clean the
snow off their sidewalks. With the tem
perature a little higher than It had been
for several weeks, the notices were hardly
needed, as most merchants were glad of tha
opportunity to get their walks cleared. As
a general thing the snow Is being shoveled
off roofs so that when a genuine thaw sets
In the snow will all be on the ground and
tha weight on roofs will be relieved.
Many Fire Hydrants Blocked.
Chief Garrett of the fire deDartment waa
busy yesterday moving snow from around
fire hydrants ln the business part of th
city. The chief said that when the first
tew rails or snow were shoveled off the
walks properly owners were careless and
piled snow around hydrants. About forty
hydrants were cleared of snow yesterday
and the work will continue for some time.
Just aa soon aa the snow Is cleared from
hydrants and the temperature is higher
man it was yesterday every hydrant ln the
city will be tested. There Is no use now
turning water Into gutters as water freeses
as soon as it strikes the ground and only
makes the roadways worse than thev are,
at the present.

FRANCHISE FOR THE WIRELESS
May the Kew Telegraph Company
Opemte Without Paying
for the PrlTlleget
City Electrician Mlchaelson is worried.
He Is trying to find out whether the mu
nicipal government has any right to de
mand a franchise prerogative over a system
of telegraphy that send?, messages through
the air. His peace of mind has been shat
tered by the coming of a wireless company
which has installed a station on top and
In the New York Life building. The elec
trician haa not given up his old practice
of eating and sleeping and is managing
to transact a fair amount of routine busi
ness. "I am wondering whether the wireless
telegraph companies will escape tax
ation and the necessity of franchises,"
says the electrician. "The Morse telegraph
companies have to pay 25 cents apiece for
every pole set in the streets, are taxed upon
their franchise holdings, whWh rights must
first be secured from tho city council, and
have Just been directed by ordinance to
build a conduit system downtown to carry
all their wires. Presuming that. the wire
less method will compote with them for
business, will not the former have an Im
mense dvantageT And has the city any
right to exercise supervision of the air
above the city? Tho question has Just been
raised and I don't know how to answer It.
I know I shall be aocused of trying to
ruin an infant industry and of standing up
ror tha corporations, but where are we to
be at ln case the Infant grows into an
adult? So much has been said about the
way corporations obtain valuable conces
sions for nothing that I feel this subject Is
worthy of some dtscussln. I have asked
Judge Julius S. Cooley to give me a written
opinion as to whether or not the munici
pality owns the air above Its streets and
can prevent tresspassing therethrough.
After having coined that word, I feel the
necessity of getting a fresh breath, so
shall quit talking."

to have been occasioned by the Rock Isl
and road building an embankment adjacent
to the Little Blue river, In Jefferson
county, Nebraska, to take the place of a
former trestle approach to the bridge of
the defendant road crossing the Little
Blue, and thereby flooding the lands and
feeding lots of the plaintiffs during va-
Vlous periods of high water. This suit Is
now pending ln the United States circuit
court, and so comes the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railway company with a
cross petition of $41,600 damages against
Mendenhall and McDowell, and the Falr
bury Roller mills.
The railway company states ln its cross
petition that It owns right-of-way through
the land ln question, and that since 1903
It lias built and maintained a solid em
bankment approach to its bridge across
the Little Blue. The petition further al
leges that the plaintiffs, Mendenhall and
McDowell, have caused to be placed
against said embankment wooden poles,
logs, trees, brush, etc., and have covered
the same with loose earth, which during
ths frequent flood periods of the Little
Blue would wash and carry away and
lodge this debris against the bridge of
the Rock Island company and connecting
trestles, and that during May and June,
1903, the trestles and bridges of the rail
way company were damaged to the amount
of $3,500, which added to the expense of
operating the road at $4,000, and $2,000 for
a temporary structure, brings the damage
claim of the road up to $41,600, for which
they ask judgment and costs of suit.
HUSC AND MUSICIANS.
The musical department of the Woman's
club gave its annual artists' recital last
night ln ths auditorium of the First Con
gregational church. Mrs. Hersog. pianist.
Mrs. Hagenow, violin. Miss Elche, 'cellist.
Considering the worth of the program pre
sented the audience was pretty small.
Perhaps the cold meat her which haa pre
vailed of late made soms difference. Many
tickets were sold to .people who did not
venture out.
The Mendelssohn "D Minor Trio," opus
47, was one of ths treats of the evening.
It Is a wonderfully beautiful composition
and was well played. Mrs. Hersog, the
pianist. Is very well known throughout the
state. She has a great deal of style In
her playing and enters Into her work with
vim and enthusiasm. Her group of numbers
was thoroughly enjoyable. She was obliged
to come back again after the Chopin
Variations."
Mrs. Hagenow's most successful number
was the Hubay "Hullamsa Balatoa,"
which she played with good tone and ex
pression.
Mr. Newlean seemed a little nervous, ;
but he brought out some beautiful tones.
His voice has a lyrlo quality that Is rare.
With hard, unceasing work he should
make a singer of unusual attractiveness.
The Raff "Sonata" was perhaps the
most ambitious number on the program. It
is always interesting to hear a woman
play the 'cello. Miss FJche gets a big,
luscious, reposeful tone that Is pleasant
to hear. Both the and Mrs. Hersog
seemed to enjoy playing together. When
the performers take real Joy In their work
It always radiates to the audience.
Mrs. Kata should feel well satisfied with
everything except the nnmber of people
who listened to the concert.

Popalar Prices for Ysaye.
That the coming of Eurene Y'saye, the
eminent Belgian violinist, on next Thurs
day evening at the Auditorium, will be
the musical event of the season, goes with
out saying, and his presentation here,
under the auspices of the Omaha concert
promoters will appeal to musicians, concert-goer
and general music lover alike.
Reserved seats for 75 cents, $1 and $1.60 In
the best parts of the Auditorium and $2
for the boxes should not debar any from
the pleasure of hearing so great an artist
on account of the financial question. The
promoters have also made an admission of
60 cents for the last rows In the balcony.
Their aim haa been to make this their
most important concert, a popular event,
and as It is the wish of the organisation
to aid ln developing musical culture in the
community proper encouragement would
enable them to continue their good work
and do still better on future concerts.

It is because most women suffer from
some deranjremont of their delicate)
organism, the discomfort of which is
less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
In some states laws compel em ployers
to provide restlnjr places for their fe
male employees.
But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. They
must get the strength which this work
demands r run the risk of serious
diseases and the surgeon's knife.
Bead about the experience of Miss
Marrret Merkley, 275 3d Street, Mil
waukee, Wis.:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham : ' T"
"Gradual less of strength, nervousness,
bearing-down pains and extreme irritation
compelled me to seek medical advice. The
doctor said I had ovarian trouble and ulcer
ation of the womb, and advised an operation
If I wanted to get well. I objected to this
and decided to give Lydia K. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound a trial. I soon found that
ail the good things said about this great
medicine were true. The ulceration soon
healed, backache, headache and nervousness
disappeared, and in a short time I waa
strong, vigorous and perfectly well. 1 wish
every working girl who suffers would try
Lydia & Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a vegetable tonio which invig
orates and strengthens the entire fe
male organism, and will produce the
same beneficial results in the case of
any sick woman as with Miss Merkley.
