COMPLAINTS OF DISCRIMINATION Odd Fellows Celebrate Their Third Anniversary Another Victim of the Asylum Accident Finds He- llof lu Death. LINCOLN BCHCAB or Tnn O.vtAnx Han , i 1020 P SniKRT , > LINCOLN , Feb. 7. ) The testimony In the celebrated Beers case closed to-day about noon. As has been Rtatcd , the defense set up the plea of insan ity , nnd the fight has been fought upon tins lino. It has been nplcy , vigorous nnd iwlntcd , the state doing Its level best to con- Viet nnd the defense to save the man from the gallows , llcers lins been seemingly In different thus far In the trial , and If unsigned n part to play In the drama , ho has played It well. The state Is fully conversant with the story of the crime , It is us familiar to the readers of the press ns though it were com mitted yesterday. There is therefore no reason for repetition. Louis Mo.vcr testified to-dny that the pris oner hud told him nt some time during the past that ho once fell upon n stone nnd re ceived injuries that affected him peculiarly Blnce. Prisoner's actions at times since con vinced him that ho had told him the truth. I. Lansingtestllled that Beers had fre quently told him since the tragedy that ho didn't care to live ; that his sweetheart was dead , and that death would unite them In the bettor world. Policeman Ireland testified that the pris oner had frequently nsked him for n knife with which to kill himself ; that his actions had been strange on many occasions , and that ho believed that Hccrs was not mentally Bound , Judging irom his actions nt divers limes during the past. Many other fragments of testimony of this class were Introduced during the trial. Drs. Hlnokley and .Simmons wore called In re buttal. They testified Unit they were well acquainted with Beers , but that they hud jiovor scon any indications of Insanity ; that they believed him to bo mentally sound. County Attorney Stearns addressed the Jury on the part of the state just after din ner , and nt this hour ho Is in the midst of his argument. J. II. Strode and t. W. Lansing will follow In the order named , and the defense - fonso will again bo given to n Jury ; guilty or not guilty again tilings In the balance. Judge Klold was on tuo bench In the equity court room. He was greeted this morning with a complaint from the members of the bar. It Rooms that the facilities and conven- iencesof the room Unit has been occupied are inadequate to the needs , nnu the complaint sot up the fact In very plain terms. There nro 200 coses on the civil docket , and a-1x4 room certainly wns a little small to accom modate the attorneys necessarily Interested. Bllllngsley , Webster and Magoon were ap pointed a committee to wait on the county commissioners to see what could bo done. This resulted in the transfer of the court room to the sheriff's ofllce. Mclick kicks , and asserts that ho Is now crowded out. So It goes , but the fact that this world Is full of trouble and annoyance is again verified. Jerry Hnrrington is again in a bad way. Ho came Into court this morning and stated that Mary Brenncn was causing him moro trouble ; that she had again disregarded the order of the court , came to his house and vowed vengeance , nnd that ho wanted her taken into custody. Mary is after Jerry , and it seems that she won't bo contented unless her name is changed to Harrington. This chestnut is a familiar one in court circles. It is understood that the court has ordered Mary tr > bo taken Into custody. FiOMRWJIAT I.IKK DISClll.MINATION. II. M. Bronson , ot Albion , states that ho Is engaged in the business of selling agricul tural Implements ; that the Union Pacific railroad company Is a corporation organized under and by virtue of the laws of the United States of America , nnd owns and operates a line of railroad within this state ; that the railroad connects Humphreys , Gcuoa.'St. ' Ed- xvards and St. Paul with Omaha ; that the distance from Omaha to Albion is 134 miles ; to Genoa , 11 a miles ; St. Edwards , 123 miles ; Huunmreys , 117 miles , and St. Paul , 175 miles ; that the rates charged for the trans portation of goods of the Ilrst class by the classification in use from Omaha to Albion nro unreasonable , unjust and too high ; that the respondent discriminates against Albion by charging more for the transportation of goods , wares and merchandise , shipped under what are known ns flrst class rates by quoting rates and fixing rates on the class at lower figures , to places situated at a greater dts- tauco from Omaha than Albion Is from said place. To Illustrate the unreasonableness of the rates charged the following comparative table is submitted : To Genoa , 113 miles , 47 cents per 100 'pounds. ' To Humphreys , 117 miles , 50 cents per 100 pounds. To St , Edwards , 133 tulles , 53 cents per 100 pounds. To Albion , 1H ! miles , 59 cents per 100 pounds. To St. Paul , 175 miles , 53 cents per 100 pounds Wherefore , recites the complainant , the honorable board of transportation is asked to sit to investigate the allegations , and furnish such adjustment as equity and Jus tice may demand. TUB Tnlir.R LINKS. The Odd Fellows of Lincoln lodge , No. 188 , celebrated the third anniversary of its organization last night.

The city of Onialu , throughout all her In dustriul und commercial tributaries , Is again engaging in that activity Incidental to the opening of another year of prosperity. The merchants nro turning over their stocks , the artisans are getting ready their tools , build ers are preparing to erect the buildings they have contracted for , and money fro.n abroad is beginning to swell in the volume In which it has hcrclotorc been blowing Into this city. This is n season which oueht to bo Im proved. It Is not too early to prepare for the spring , summer nnd nutunm work. It is not too early to make provisions for n material and permanent advancement mid develop ment of the city , In keeping with these features which have thus far dlstln- inilslio.l the city abroad. Omaha wants manufactories of all kind * , because manufactories , when well placed , arc a source of wealth and power. She wants more business houscs.moro residences , nnd moro citizens. She can accommodate nil of those who come , and indeed nil who may come for many years. To these facts the attention of our people tins been for some time directed. Everybody agrees that n great deal may be done , nnd that this year will sec it done under the Inspiration of tlio prosperity which dawned upon nnd blessed the country surrounding us. The mnnufucturer's bureau of the board of trade is composed of C. F. Goodman , Otto Lobeck , Edwin Davis. Thomas F , Tuttle nnd T. C. Brunei- . With regard to the course to be pursued the coming year by this body , Nason , secretary of the board of trade was spoken to. He said : "The new manufacturing committee , or the one chosen since the last orgiuilrutlnn , has held only two meetings , mid ns yet hn.s not fully disclose. ! their plans. Their pro ceedings , however , have boon characterized by it spirit which Indicates that they are fully awake to the necessity of securing and fosteringnll enterprises that will assure par- nianent employment to labor , and thus In sure the continued growth and prosperity of the city. ' The committee , I think , " added Mr. Nason , ' 'will follow out the line of policy adopted last year that is , they will give prompt attention to nil .applications received from parties Indicating 11 desire to locate here , ana to furnish assistance so far ns they have the power to all those they deem worthy of aid. An effort will bo made to nvoid nny Inducement to those who would not bo likely to succeed. It must bo under stood that this is no easy matter. Of thn subjects already presented for the consider ation of the committee , quite " > per cent are from parties known to bo in impecunious circumstances. There is quite n number of proposals for tlio establishment of In dustries , only a small proportion of which nro considered worthy of attention. Tim bureau is of the opinion that it is detri mental to the accomplishment of a result to publish anything in relation to the applica tions until the industries nro secured. Other cities learn of their work through the press , then serious competition sets in and it becomes n matter of the biggest bonus to get the Industry , whatever it may bo. "Omaha lias certainly boon a profitable field for the laboring classes , during the building boom she has experienced the past two or three years , which has hardly u pui- allol in tlio history of any city in the country. The enormous bulk of grading.of laying pave ments nnd putting down streets , the digging of sewers nnd water mains , the building of cable and street railway nnd motor lines , and the hundred and ono other gigantic works , have nil furnished occupation for many thousands of hands , skilled and unskilled , nnd made Omaha one of the most active and bustling cities in the country. But every day the city is becoming moro and moro finished and the labor growing out of this building era will fall off. Thence It behooves all appreciative citizens to lend every effort toward securing permanent industries , which will furnish employment for our largo labor ing element. This board is alive to tlio im portance of its duties nnd good results uro certain to .iriso from their exertion. They will always be found ready to take prompt action on such subjects as may from time to time present themselves for consider ation , nnd they may nlso bo rolled upon for nn earnest effort to secure the best attaina ble results for the general good of Omaha. " Other members ot the board thought that a public mcctincr , called to consider tlio best incnnB of fostering manufacturing interests , would bo n ( rood thing. This would produce a now support for the bureau and develop the enterprise of our capitalists. Advice to .Mother. * . Mre.

The letter says that the whole light in Samoa occurred on German private prop erty. The writer asserts that the United States steamer Nipsie supplied the "rebels" with ammunition through Captain Clcary , of the United States steamer Adams , nnd bo deplores the fact that all efforts of the Gor man consul to stop the sale of war munitions to the natives have proved futile.

The work of tearing down the ruins oc casioned by the Meyer disaster wa con tinued yesterday , the force of men being In creased to nearly forty. The walls of the two-story brick building which was occupied by Boycr & Co. nnd D. C , Dunbar , have been torn down to the first story.
