Inch nnd a half above the loft eye brow , was

Carl Axon , Emil Gustafson and J. P.
Bodes , were the other witnesses called.
Emll Gustafson said ho knows Nclso
Plantcou for two years. Ho never saw
George Meyer , the accused , until the night
of the affair , May 80. They wore together
from 10 to nearly 13 o'clocit that night In a
saloon , nt the corner of .Twentieth and
Cuming streets , kept by a man by the name
of IJrown. Ho hoard no quarreling nor dis
putes ; they were playing pool ;
there were several other parties
present but the witness didn't know them.
There was man with Meyer , but nn
pntiro stronger , and ho has not
boon seen since. When Plantcon loft
the saloon , Meyer followed him out.
After Plautuon came out of tlio saloon ho
went witn the witness toward Hurt street ,
on Twentieth , Meyer following them out.
Flantcon wont on while the witness waited
until Meyer came up , and then asked him if
bo wanted anything. Meyer answered ,
"No. " Plantocn and tbo witness proceeded
to the corner of Hurt nnd Twentieth and
turned to go to Sixteenth street. When in
Uio middle of the street Meyer struck Plan-
teen ; ho did not know whether it was with a
tone or an iron. The blow knocked Plan-
teen's hat off , and witness went after It and
Bid not BOO whether Plantcon fell down or
not. Plnntoon did not think it was serious.
What did Meyer say 1" asked Mr. Mori-
Wltv.
"Ho was cursing and swearing and asked
feloyer If he wanted any inoro of timt. Meyer
and his friend then wont on toward Cuinlng
trcot , nnd Plantcon and witness went to
[ Sixteenth street. Did not see Meyer or his
friend any moro that night. " The witness
left Planteou at Chicago and Sixteenth
elrccts und wont homo. Did not sea Plan-
teen any more that night. It was 19:30 :
o'clock when the witness left Planteen.
Planteeu bled freely when ho was struck ,
tut did not think it was serious.
Gustufson's testimony was not shaken by
8 very rigid cross-examination.
[ faUr. U. O , Svonsou , who attended Planteen ,
9fas next called. Ha was called on May 81
| 0 see Plantcon at 88'J1 California street
Examined a wound lu plnntccn's forehead ,
fjno inch above loft eyabrow. The wound
( as one Inch in length , and the skull was
Tacturcd. Ho called Dr. Blord , chloroformed
ie patient and made a thorough examina
tion of the Injury. A fragment of the skull
fas depressed about a quarter of an inch ,
fte broken bone was removed and attention
ontlnuod until PJnntoau' * death at 3 o'clock
b ( Sunday morning. Plantoeu'e death was
used uv intlamaation , which followed as a
suit of the blow. Tn r were symptoms
'or sevoial days before his death of inflam
mation of tlio brain. ,
W. D. Pcrcival , a newspaper rouortor , tos-
: ificd that ho heard tlio statement of
Planteen made on Saturday mornIng -
Ing , in which Planteen clmigcd
Meyer with having assaulted him. Ho also
testified to Mayer's statement confessing
th.it ho struck Plantoon with a door knob.
Hans Nelson , n barkeeper in the saloon in
which Moycr and Plantcon met , testilicd to
having scon Moycr , Planteen , Gustafson
and another man playing pool in the saloon
shot tly before midnight , and hoard them
quarreling as they passe d up the street , but
could not toll what tlio y said.
This closed the evidence , nnd after n brief
consultation the Jury returned a verdict that
Plantcon had mot his death at the hands of
George Meyer , and the latter was held to
the district court.
George Meyer , who is charged with the
murder of Plautccii , is n man of about thirty-
five and has an unusually long face. His
nose Is nearly twice the length of
ordinary mortals aud his cnin is
elongated and protruding. Ho has a
thin moustache , stubby board of about
two weeks' growth , and his face is seamed
und wcathor-boaton. Ho is a man of pow-
powerful imlld and with oven a slnclo blow
of his list could knock any ordinary man
senseless. Ho says no is a carpenter by
trade nnd lives at eighteenth and Cuss.
When seen yesterday ho said ho hoard that
Planteen was dead , but did not beliovo. ho
should bo punished for it. On the night that
ho gave Plantoon the blow which caused his
death , the two had been playing n gauio of
billiards In a saloon at Twentieth and Cum-
ings. Meyer says that Plantcon was ugly
and wanted to thrash n couple of strangers
in the saloon , but was dissuaded from it.
Meyer beat Plantoon In the game of billiards
and the latter cot very angry ever it , and
when ho was outsldo ho made threats of
taking Meyer's life , when the man
who runs the lunch counter Interfered , Moy
cr says ho waited until Plantoon .and his
companion Gustafson had left then started
homo. Hoforo ho had proceeded two blooks ,
ho was waylaid by Plantcon and Gustufson ,
who stood on a flight of stops near Twentieth
and Webster. Uy the gaslight ho could t > co
a Itnlfo in Gustafscn's hand. Ho heard
Plantcon say : "I'm going to fir you 1" and at
the satno tlmo Planteen reached his hand to
his hip pocket ns if to draw a revolver , when
Meyer remembering that ho haa a door
knob in his pocket , and fearing
that the two men were going to
kill him , readied for tbo knob nnd struck
Plantocn with it on the head , fracturing the
skull and causing wounds from which Plan-
teen died.
Meyer says ho is not u quarrelsome man
and the injuries inflicted on Plantocn were
merely In self dofonso. If Justice Is done , ho
claims , ho will bo acquitted. Ills greatest
concern Is for his wife , who Is in a delicate
condition und is ft. cod to toll for her dally
broad on account of his incarnation.

from Justice , had boon discharged from

for Union City , Tenn. , Immediately. Ho
also states that the only reason why Levy
was wanted by Smith & Co , , Is because of a

The A. O. U. W. is n mutual insurance
organization , and was instituted In Mcad-
ville , Pa. , October 27,1SG3 , by John J. Up-
church , familiarly known as "Father" Up-
cburch. The order now covora the whole
United States and iho provinces of Quebec ,
Manitoba ana British Columbia In Canada.
This territory is divided into twenty-throo
separata Jurisdictions. These Jurisdictions
collect and disburse money within their ter
ritory. Each one has not loss than 8,000
members , and a uniform assessment of $1 is
made upon each member when a death oc
curs. The amount of each policy is
? J,000 , and when a surplus accumulates the
death losses are paid out of this surplus until
it becomes necessary to levy another assess
ment. A maximum rate of assessment is
fixed every tnrco ynars for each Jurisdiction ,
based upon the mortality * rate for the pre
ceding live years , with n possible seven
added to cover fluctuations. If the number
of deaths In a year exceeds this maximum a
call Is made upon the relief board , which
levies an assessment upon the entire twenty-
three jurisdictions to make good the excess ,
If the dosth rate durlug the tbrco .years does
not roach the maximum , the excess is used
to repay the sum obtained through the relief
board. If the death rate does roach the
maximum , the amount Is not repaid at all.
The order has a uiqinborshin of ever 250-
000 in tbo United States and Canada. The
membership in Nebraska Is a little ever
5,000. The maximum rate of assessment in
Nebraska is twonty-Jlvo. This rule will bo
fixed again at the next session of the grand
lodge , and will go into effect on the 1st of
January following.

Favorable for One on n
Grand Scnlo Nev * Pall.
A meeting of Omaha business men was
held at the board of trade rooms last even
ing , for the purpose of pi op.inug for Mer
chants week and arranging n programme for
the occasion , should it bo deemed advisable
to organize.
W. A. L. Gibbon was called to the chair
and stated the object of the mooting , nnd 011-
dcuvorod to show the importance of suoh u
movement , and Uio advantages in a business
point of view to bo derived from u Mer
chants' week at such time as the
mcrcuants of Omaha may determine
upon. Mr. Gibbon suggested that it would
bo well to ascertain what the merchants
and business men of this city intend
to do , and in answer to questions asked by
merchants present , explained that the aim
was to bring the business men moro closely
together nnd Invite the countiy merchants to
uieot with us on certain weeks during the
year.
In order to got the sense of the mooting on
ho subject , Louis Heimro'l moved that a
committee of llvo bo appointed to select
twenty merchants of Omaha as directors for
Merchants' week.
J. A. Wakclluld thought that there was
not enough ihtorest manifested in this enter
prise by the business men of Omaha.
Mr. llcimrod contended that the mer
chants nro in favor of this movement , und
many of them who w ore not present nt the
mooting had BO expressed themselves. Ho
favored going ahead and organizing ,
Max Mujor said that a-fuwof the business
men Imu to al\va\ take the lead , and then
the others would follow that there are men
hero who at o In favor of the organization ,
but they will invariably wait for the moro
enterprising men to take the initiative.
E. E Bruce thought that while our merchants -
chants may bo slow to act , they will be ready
to act at the proper time , aud the movement
will bo made asuccois.
The motion to organize a Merchants' week
association was unanimously carried , and
Chairman Gibbon suggested that n board of
directors bo selected by a committee to bo
namod'for that purpose.
The chair named as that committee Messrs.
Clarke , Hohniod , Biuco , Davidson nnd

Mr. Gibbon stated In explanation that it Is
almost u necessity to offer some Inducements
to the country merchants and others whose
trade is sought , to couio hero nt least for one
week in the year. Ho said the Idea is to ar-
ranga with the railroads to run excursions
from all neighboring points , and to prepare
some attractions to Interest the visitors
while they are hero. "Of course , " said he ,
"wo can not got up anything equal to the
Veiled Prophets of St. Louts , which costs
the merchants of that city $100,000 a year ,
hut wo can got up something that will an
swer the same purpose. The Veiled Proph
ets' procoisloii is worth a million dollars a
year to St. Louis , and there is no reason
why Omaha uhould not profit by having a
week of special attractions to bring visitors
to our city. "
Everything looks encouraging for a Mer
chant * ' week oa a grand cale tome tlmo
durlntr the full , for the men who have taken
the matter In hand snow u dotciinitiation to
push this cntei prise tlnot Ji to success.
Every womn.ii in Omaha wo say

busy to lool ; tiftor such small nwUeis
hhotild insist on the bund of tbo house
procuring some reliable medicine for
use in case of a sudden attacl : of colic or
cholera morbus in the night during the
summer. It is not pleasant to hunt up
a physician after midnight , nor to go
down town and route out a druggist at
that hour. Take our advicnand procure
