The work of empanelling a jury In the Brooks murder case was resumed yesterday morning. The regular panel was exhausted , nnd the special venlro drawn upon quite heavily. It was n few mlnutoi ni'tcr 12 o'clock when the counsel for the defense took advantngu of his tenth anil last per emptory challenge. The next man cillcil was excused for cause , but nt Just , 12:30 : the jury was complete. Prosecuting Attorney Organ requested the court to place the Jury In the hands of n b.illlIT , but Colonel DU- Icy objected OB the ground tlmt It was ItvsuHiiitr and unnecessary. The court sustained the objection , and an ad journment was taken until 2 o'clock , In the forenoon , the llrst matter that came up for consideration was the divorce case ot .T. P.

Hut llttlo tlmo was occupied by the state with this witness , when ho was turned over to the defense. Colonel Datloy began a rigid cross-questioning , which was but fairly started when court adjourned at 5 o'clock until 10 this morning. The defendant appeared as much at case as on thu nrevious day , and manifested con siderable interest in the examination , al though ho scarcely seemed to ro.ilizn that ho was on trial for his life. His father sat by his nidonnd consulted with him frequently , as did his attorney also , es pecially while the jury was bsmg cmuanclcd. The mother nnd sisters of the accused nnd several of their lady friends occupied chairs just back of the accused Inside thu railing , Less Interest was manifested In the case than on the previous day , which Wns notice able In the decreased attendance. The ma jority of those who at , first expected astonish ing or sensational features have become sat- isllcd ttmt there will ho nothing of the kind. It Is not another Bccchler case , and the majority of people have none other than a passing Interest in It. The sporting fra ternity is well represented in the court room , and the indications are that this class will increase in proportion during the remainder of thu trial. Fine dressed chickens. G.

Attention hns been called to ono fact rela tive to the diphtheria cases in the eastern portion of tlio city , and that Is that of eight cases in n certain district , all but ono of the families nro using well water. Some of them have city water in their houses , but use well water for drinking purposes , thinking it is better. Whether or not there is any connec tion between the use of the water and the sickness in thcso familics , it is hard to say. The attention of ono of the physicians of the city was called to the matter yesterday and hisoplnion solicited. Said he : "It would bo Oiflleult to stnto without a further examination just what there Is in the case , but I nm inclined to think that tlioro may bo some connection. Now , I have several cases In the southern part of the city , of ical old-fashioned acuo the llrst I have lind for two or thrco yc.irs. There bcoms to bo a regular little nest of it Micro , and I inquired about the water , learning that it was obtained from a well. Judge of my surprise when the woman admitted that the water was rather poor , and thai u few evenings - ings before her stomach would not retain it , and she had to throw It up , 'but , ' she added , 'since then I have strained it , and wo have managed to keep it down. ' ' She told it in all earnestness , and scorned to think that she was entitled to great credit for straining the stuff that was so impure that she could not drink it without. I am r-ositlvo that the water in that instance is responsible for the ague , but I don't BOO why another well , n Iralf mile awuv , should give everybody diphtheria. Still , this may bo the case. I believe that thcro are a great many impure wells in the city , nnd tlmt many of them are breeding sickness. Notwithstand ing the kicks tli.it are made against the city water , 1 lind less bad results from using it than from these wells. " C. B. Music Co. , 538 Broadway. the Motor Line. Work was commenced yesterday morning tearinir up the paving nt the corner of i'caii street and Fifth avenue , for the purpose of putting in the switches for the transfer line. A double switch connecting with both the tracks of the Pearl street line will bo used so that about ilfty feet , of Fifth avenue will also bo occupied by a double track , and the remainder with a single track. Switches and turnouts will bo put in every 3,500 feet , so as to give a ten mlnuto service , The line runs west on Fifth avcnuo to Twenty-first street , nnd south on Tweaty-llrst street to llio transfer. A switch will bo put in on Fifth avenue betwron Thirteenth and Four teenth streets , and on Twenty-first street between Eighth und Ninth avenues. A ton minute service will glvo this part of the city ample facilities for travel , and the cars will run up Broadway and around the Pierce street loop. Generally speaking , this will bo a local line , and its trains will run between the transfer and Upper Broadway , but some of the trains , which connect with the Incom ing trains on the various railroads will bo run direct to Omaha. ! ( , is also Intended to run a line from this one , either up Sixteenth or Twcnty-first stieot to the main line on Avenue A , but that line will not bo built this full , unless the weather continues favorable until qulto late , and Its service would bo slower , consisting chiefly of the through trains to Omaha from the transfer. But few men nro at work on tno Fifth avcnuo extension us yet , owing to the non- arrival of umttirlal , but us soon as It arrives the force will bo increased , and the work pushed rapidly to completion.

Tlio Council Bluffa Light and Council Bluffs Klcctric Light and Power companies did a vast amount of business yesterday , but there was very little money In it if certain papers tiled at the court house are any cri terion by which to judge. As stated In yesterday's Bee. the newly organized Gas and Klectrio Light 'company has been negotiating for the purchase of the plants and franchises of all opposing com panies In that line in the city , and It now ap pears that the deals have boon consummated. At 1:45 : o'clock yesterday afternoon a first mortgage of the Couucll Bluffs Gas Light company to the American Loan and Trust company , of Now \ork , for f 150,000 , was filed with the county recorder , It was ftignod by the Council Bltiffs Gas Light com pany , Walter S. Wright , president. At 2:15 : two bills ot sale were filed ono from the Council Bluffs Klcclrie Light nnd Power company and the othtr from the Council BHifT.i Gas Light company both convo.vlnir to the Council Blurts Gas nnd Klcctric Light company their entire plants , including machinery , wires , mains and fran chises for the consideration of $1 onch. In the auditor's ofllco nevcrnl deeds worn filed for similar considerations. Ono from the Council Bluffs Light and Power com pany to tlio now company , of lots 1) ) and 10 In block 13 In Beer's subdivision was signed by Walter S. Wriuht , president. Another from the Council Bluffs Gas Light company to the now company , signed by Walter S. Wright , president , conveyed lots 7 , 8 , 9,10. 11 , 12 , IS and south ten feet of 14 , block 11 , Kiddle's nub-division. Another from George F. Wright , Ellen M. Wright nnd .loci Eaton to the now company con- vercd lots 4 , r , 0 , 7,13 , 13 , 14 , south half of lot 3 and south 81 rf feet of lot U , in block 13 , Kiddie's sub-division. Those deeds and bills of suitjonvoy to the new company the entire plnnu of the pres ent gas nnd electric light com panics and the lots on which they nro situated. Thus far the company has secured whatever It has attempted to purchase , with the exception of the franchise- the Sparry company , and that Is yet o bo heard from , with every Indi cation of 8UCC2SS. The Sparry company do- slrcd to lease its power of the present clcc- trlo light company , but now that has changed hands nnd other arrangements would Imvo to bo made. According to the toxins of their contract thn Spcrry company must bo ready for business by the 14th of Deccmbor , and as they would be compelled to build an entire now plant , and erect new lines of wire , It is hardly possible that they could bo ready In lime. In view of this atatn of affairs , it Is very probable that they will conclude to dls- pose of their franchise to the now company. Tlio new company will have the flold to itself , for n whiio at least , but the restric tions Imposed by the council will sccuro reasonable rntos for lighting. Gas can not bo moro than SJ per thousand nnd must bo SI.75 , provided a consumption of 73,000 feet per day Is secured. New Pacific House , best hotel in the city. Jl.flO uer day. Meals ! o.

The other day I picked up u bundle of thcso pho tos off the mantel in the white house and counted them. They wore just a few that had been snapped together with n rubber band. There were twenty-three of thorn and two. pairs of twins. None in this collection was col ored , but I believe several little char coal sketches from nature have boon ro- colvod. Of the photos I have soon it must ba bald , at the risk of offending a largo community of mothers , that but few nro nny way remark- nblo for good looks , though In moro than ono case the mothers have lancleil tlioir little ones resembled Baby MoKco. They nro represented In a variety of nttitudcs nntl in various stages of iinicod- ness. They vary in apparent ago from n few months to but a few days. Some times the infant's photograph is nccom- iianiod by that ot the mother , or both father and mother. Ono infant is allowing the oiul of nn American Hag , Another is dressed in n Continental uniform , though ho hns to bo hold in nn upright position to show it. Another has not anything on worth mentioning , and is making a critical examination ot the soies of both his feet at the same time a thing ho accomplishes by bow ing the legs out and turning the feet inward. Thcro is nothing "cs- peelnlly fnncy about nny of them. They are n matter-of-fact lot of youngster ? , who appear lo bo entirely irresponsible for either their existence or the am bitious journey of their photographs lethe the white house. The lact of these tlmt are soon by the public being so ugly is explained by the statement that the president has savnd out borne of the best-looking OIIOH to keep. The others are lying around , so that you are liable to find a bundle of them in almost nny room in the house. The mothers who nnmo their youngsters after the presi dent nnd send him their pictures , prob ably expect some recognition , but the most they get is n card with an enijriu1- ingof the white house and the presi dent's autograph. Tlio Dressed Itncl Question. Within ten years cnttlo have de creased in value about 40 per cent , yet strnngo to say the consumer of beef must pay the same rates which formerly oblaincdj says the Nebraska Farmer. In all clticsof'iMiy size in the west the homo .market for beef has been wiped out of existence , with the result that if a farmer hns fat cattle to sell they must bo sent to Chicago or Kansas City for a market , yet thou sands of 'people are dally Consuming great quantities of hoof in the very towns adjacent to those farms , and are paying high rates for Mich meat. This condition of affairs is brought about by the combination of men who control the dressed beef industry. The fact that they buy beef and dross it for sale does not explain tills condition of affairs by any means , but tlio carefully arranged .plans and bulldozing methods of the combine docs explain it. If butchers refuse to buy the dressed beef and announce that they will purchase from the farmers direct , the monopoly at once establishes branch markets and cuts the price down until the men who seek to do an honest business and buy of the fnrmerso are driven out of the business. Then the price is tit ouco put back. When the butcher sees ruin staring him in the face , ho succumbs to the inevitable and buys beef from the combination. Only lust week a leading Shorthorn breeder hud as line a lot of htcers to dis pose of as wo have over seen. Learning that ho was intending to ship lo Chicago , and having in mind the un certain quality of meat sold on this market , we asUcd him why ho did not sell hero. Ho replied tlmt there wayne no market. The price was so low that ho could not sell on the homo market. The bulldozing practices of the com bine have throttled completely the market for stock raised oven in this .county with a city of 40,000 inhabitants within its borders. 1\n } AVorld'H Chc.ipost Il atanrnnt. Not itir rrom the mio at. ucnia is u restaurant that has few counterparts. It is the cheapest place in Paris , and that means in the world , I once had the honor to entertain si Whyo king , since hanged , in one of the chief Chat ham street eating-houses , says a Paris letter to the New Orleans Times. The Wyho had what ho called a "corldn1 good feed."and the bill , I think , was 14 cents. But the Paris restaurant is much cheaper. It enjoys the title of "Au Ilasavd do la Fourchettc. " In it a huge caldron hangs over a fire. It is filled with nil sorts and conditions of eatables. The customer pays ! 5 cents to the burly gentleman who is in charge , lie receives in return a hugo long- handled fork. This ho plunges into the pot once no moro. I did not try my luck , but I found it interesting to watch these who did. It was a peculiar game of chance , and those who played it showed moro interest in it than you can sco on the faces of the gamblers at Monaco. Sometimes u lucky ono would bring up a chicken wing or a substan tial clnin ic of meat , nnd thereon his face would light. But moro often the fork would como un laden with only a potato or some insignillcant article , However , that inado no difference. The player had to be satislied with his win nings or ho would travel to the street with moro velocity than comfort. Altogether the "Fork Hazardis a queer place and is worth seeing. At the risk of iirovolclnf ; a smile at our simplicity , wo will relate that lonj ; years ago , when wo thought that great men , if they speak ut nil , always speak words of wisdom , suys a writer in the Christian Advo cate , wo followed Tennyson , who was ac companied by a lady and two children , about the South Kensington Museum for two hours and a half , hoping that lie would speak. At last hn made bluns as If about to do so. Hoping to hoar some criticism of a painting wo listened Intently , nnd these memorable worjs foil from the lips of Eng land's poet laureate : "You take euro of the children while I go and get some beer.
