Will Move for n Now Trial ,
A motion for a now trial of the Hroolts
murder case will bo matlo by .Colonel Daily
on the ground that .furor .T. It. Davidson
made the assertion before the case was sub
mitted that Urooks "ought to bo hunc1 , "
that ho ' 'xvoulit glvo $35 to convict him , "
nnd ether Ktatomcnts to that effect. In
speaking of the matter yesterday morntnp
Colonnl Dally said Him was but one of sev
eral grounds on which a novv trial would bo
nskoil. Said ho : "That verdict can't stand.
It Is n peed deal better for Urooka than a
verdict of murder In the second degree
would hnvo been , nnd I am much better oat-
Islled than 1 would have booa in the latter
case. "
Jndco Macy wai also seen nnd nsltctl
whether ho was satlslled with the verdict.
"I would not care to say just at present , " ho
replied , "as I understand n motion is to bo
nude for a new trial , and until that ia tits-
posed of I would rather not express nny
opinion. 1 understand that the defense
claims that onu or mqro of the Jurors did not
answer truthfully when questioned as to
their iiialillcatlons ] ns a witness , nnd of
course thuso matters will bo submitted to the
court. "
"When will this motion bo argued 1"
"Probably some tlmo next weeli. It will
talco some tlmo to transcribe the evidence ,
nml there will probably bo some aftldavlts to
be submitted , which will also roQulro some
time. I will say Hint 1 rather expected to see a
vordlefof murder In tno second degree re
turned , but I am far Iroin saving that the
verdict 113 it was returned Is not right. My
opinion is merely based on my knowledge of
human nature , for In n jury of twelve -inon
there are liable to bo seine who will feel
squeamish about rendering a verdict for
murder in the llrst degree. The stcht of the
mother of tbo accused sobbing in the court
room ia very trying on n sympathetic man ,
and it requires a great de.il of tlrmncss to
go out and iind for life imprisonment. I am
not spcakinc of this case , but of cases of this
kind In pcncrnl. "
Thursday , October 31 , at 10 o'cloclc m the
forenoon , is the time set by the court for the
sentencing of liroolta , but tlio defense has
filed n notice of moving for a now trial , and
has been Riven until Monday next to do so.
It is stated that Brooks had promised his
mother that , If acquitted , ho would reform ,
Join the church uud attend Sunday school
regularly. Yesterday morning Ida Melville ,
the former mistress of Urooks , who was
wanted very badly by the Etato as a witness
in the case , for tbo purpose of showing a
former acquaintance with Do Geode , tbo
murdered man , in Sioux City , where ,
It Is alleged , aho lived for some time as the
mistress of the latter , came over from Omaha
and called upon 11 rooks at the jail , where
she had quite a lungthy interview with him.
It is slated that if tbo state could have secured -
cured the presence of this witness in court
some cvidonso would have been obtained to
sl.ow that Hrooks had a motive in Itlllinc Do
Goode. It is said that Do Gootto called on
the Mclvlllo woman shortly after his arrival
in the city with a view to resuming former
relations , ami that Itroolta. when informed of
it , vowed vciiReance , and from that tlmo
watched for an opportunity to settle the
score with Do Goodo.
The Melvllls woman , however , wont to
Omaha to avoid , appearing on the stand , and
when sent for refused to como. For months
she carefully refrained from crossing to this
side of the river , lest she should bs arrested
and held as an unwilling witness. As soon
as the case was disposed of mid a verdict
rendered she returned to the UlufTs and was
a caller at the jail at an early hour yester
day morning , as above stated.
In Klejjant Quartern.
The disposition to rebuild and renew , to
tear away old structures and "rcplaco thorn
with new and modern buildings , has been n
marked feature in the practical progress of
Council 131uu"s during the past year. The
result has been that it has given us some of
the handsomest establishments in the state ,
and several that are incomparably liner than
anything between Chicago nnd the Pacific
ocean. SInce the grand Eiscman building
haa been completed and has attracted atten
tion as far cast as New York itself , nnd
given Council Bluffs n valuable reputation in
that metropolis of wealth and fashion , people
ple are not contented to cither live or do
business In tlio old-fashioned unattractive
quarters. Led by this disposition to excel
every establishment that has bscn remodeled
has ooaii , when completed , finer than any
other of its kind cither in this city or any
other western city. To accomplish this it
has been necessary to employ the bust class
of architects und tlccoratlvo artists nntl
to glvo them carte blancho. At the
bead of this class of artists is P. C. Miller
nnd the last liberal citizen who has given
him an opportunity to co a long way beyond
the old line Is MiM. . 1' . Ellis , proprietor of
the opera house drug store. 'Ills well lo
cated establishment is the last to receive the
inaglu attentions nf Mr. Miller and his corps
of decorative artists , and the transformation
that has reaultcu can only bo a matter of
prulo to the proprietor of the store mid the
artists who have wrought the change.
The store has always been ono of the most
attractive in the city ami the proprietor ono
of our most popular young business men ,
but the contrast between the past and the
present can bo realized when it is stated
that it is in all respects the finest little gem
of a store not only in the twin cities , but in
the west. Mr. Kills got tired of hearing
people say , "You've got n line place here ,
my boy ; but John Smith , in Omaha , or Den
ver , has a little bit nloar In some respects. "
The grand Jury wouldn't Indict him if ho
kills the man who makes the remark now.
The decorative work Is the llrst of the
kind over done In this country.
The ceiling decorations are In plastlo relief ,
and the colors are n combination of olive ,
) ) lnk und gray. Tno plastio material Is put
on the celling In n thick coat ana drawn with
stiff brushes Into Innumerable sharp , JiigcoJ
points which liana downward , varying m
IciiRth from a slight corrugation to a projec
tion several inches. Tno material hardens
very quickly until It becomes like stono. It
Is placed on a background of the same color
anil wrought Into panels , nntl Is capable of
being worked into tlio most beautiful art
designs. When the material hardens the
points nnd bides ot these projections nro
tipped with bronze- and gold loaf. Dashes of
bron/.u and gold nro thrown indiscriminately
over the corrugations and background , nnd
the effect U further heightened by bits of
highly colored tinsel and mica scales. The
effect produced when seen by the fiash nf
the electric light is surprisingly boautlfu ! . It
looks like a fairy palace from which a
million btalactltcs are hanging. Kuch panel
is framed in beautifully o.irvoj moulding
that separates It from the bronzed
corrugated Billing that has a back
of harmonious color. The walls are covered
by heavy Imparted , pressed , haml-mado
paper. In thn front of the building , next tea
a massive fountain , Is n panel of plastlo that
extend j from the frieze. It is a beautiful
dealgu. and will soon bo further embellished
by a ploco of Hodgors' statuary. The now
Tiua cxouUIto decorations hnrmonizo per
fectly with the costly fixtures of the store ,
which are the finest over brought to the city ,
and when Mr. Kills perfects * n few tiioro
slight changes ho will have the satisfaction
of knowing that ho has the lineal place in
tlio west.
The plastic decorations nro something en
tirely now , anil this worlc Is the creation of
Mr.V. . 12. Freeman , who has been Mr , Mil
ler's chief decorator and designer for a long
time. The work U practically indestruct
ible , and will remain an object of novelty
ami beauty to bo udmlrcd after stucco and
fresco work has crumbled and buca de
stroyed u dozen times.
A Cieiuilno Fox Clinsp.
The exhibition tex clrnso teen place north
of Lake Manawa yesterday afternoon as ad
vertised , and was participated In by over
150 pconio , both ladles and ireutlomou , who
went down from the city for that purpose.
The fox , which was a handsome specimen cf
the rc l rarlety , about two-thirds nrown , was
shaken out of the bag nt 2:10 : o'cloclc by
Thomas McDermott , thovctqran fox hunter ,
of Ottawa , 111 , The nnlmal ilid not wait to
receive nny pointers as to the proposed
chase or to oven consult the compass , out a *
soon as ho touched the ground ho took utter
his nose nt n lively pace , which ho main
tained for fully threo-quartors of a mlle , and
when ho disappeared from view In n largo
tract of weeds was running n very close second
end to his nasal organ , which , howuvor , WAS
taking him along nt n rattling clip.
As the fox dashctl across the open ground
n chorus of "Oh , my , " and ' -Isn't ho n llttlo
beauty" nroso from the Indies , whllo Dr.
Plnnoy nnd County Treasurer I'lumer edged
n llttlo f urthor down the line , to bo In bettor
position when the dogs picked up the trail.
Captain Ware's tooth fairly chattered with
excitement as ho bowled for the crowd to
keep back until the hounds had passed.
All was expectancy , whllo n horseman went
back to Platner's place to release the pack
from tholr temporary kennel in the Darn.
When the doors were oponoil n blast from
McDermott'8 horn brought the pock upon
the field In short order , yelping nntl half
cray with excitement. They ranged back
and forth ovar the field , crossing the
trail once or tivico without picking It up , to
the disappointment of the spectators , who
predicted that thcro would bo no chnso , but
McDermott Insisted that it was very dry
nnd if the crowd would only keep back there
would bo chasrj enough. The words were
hardly out of his head when n largo spotted
hoiinu struck the trail , anil with a bowl was
off. The rest of the pacit closed In and were
after the leader with the speed of a whirl
wind.
"Yon will have to buy mo those .100 Santo
Kosas , Mac. " veiled Dr. Plnney , "for old
Grant Is in the load und your dogs are out of
the race. "
"Shure , an' if thov nro I'll nto Ivory wan of
thltn , " was the reply of the sturdy Italian.
"Yis , .vis , " ho continued a moment later ,
"who'll pay for the shmokos now , " as
the pack overran the trail where the
fox hail made a sharp turn , and n powerful
black hound ngaln naught the scout and
darted away In the lead.
Ho they wont , first ono In the load anil
then another , until they finally settled down
to business , und the young dons began to
fall to the rear , whllo the veterans forged to
the front , and the chase swept alontr like a
hurricane.
Hut where wcro the hunters nil this while ?
StandingstlllH Not much of It. Many of
them were dashing along faster than over
before in tholr lives. Saddle and buggy
horses wcro sweeping across tho.pralrlo nt a
gallop , both riders and drivers intent on
only ono thing being in nt the death.
The chase was not a long ono. The fox
had hidden on getting to the weed patch ,
and when aijaiti started by the .dogs was
quickly overtaken and killed. Dr. Plnney
secured the brush , nnd was tnoro than satis
fied over his failure to naino the winning
dog.
dog.The fox was then tied behind a saddle
horse , and n drag chase followed.
9'1'hc horseman was Rivea a half-mile start ,
when the hounds wcro again uncoupled. It
was a very exciting run , as both the hounds
and quarry were In sight. Four horses were
used , but the hounds gained steadily , and
were barely a hundred feet behind when the
last change was made. A fresh horse w.os
no match for the deep-chested and powerful
limbed hounds , und the fox was again pulled
in.
in.Tho last chase was on the road back to the
city , when another drag was made as far as
the city limits.
The exhibition was In every way n success.
Many who went to the lake on the motor
viewed thq chase from the tops of convenient
hay stacks or-from farm buildings. All who
saw the chase were satisfied , and it is proba
ble that another chase will shortly bo ar
ranged.

Tim motor on Fifth Avcmio.
Yesterday morning Judge Macy listened
to arguments on the petition of property own
ers who desire an injunction restraining tlio
electric motor company from laying track on
Filth avonuo. The facts in the case wcro
agreed upon by the attorneys , so that all to
bu considered wora legal points.
The attorneys for the property owners
laid stress upon the law requiring railways
to first ascertain and settle dainigos to
abiuting property before occupying a street.
The attorneys for the company In reply to
this msNtcd that the statute requiring this
was not binding upon strcot car lines , but
only applied to railways using steam power.
Then the attorneys for the people insisted
that the decisions of the supreme court ,
drawing n distinction between street rail
ways and steam railways , were made loug
befoio electricity was dreamed of as n ino-
tlvo powor. There was no more reason , in
their minds , for classifying the electric mo
tor with the horse street car- ) than to class it
with the steam railways. Tbo query was
made if the Union Pacific was to adopt elec
tricity as n motor in place of steam , would it
cease to bo a railway !
The ether point argued was on the claim of
the property owners that the company had
no authority for laying any sort of a track
along fifth avenue. The company showed
up n charter received from the city authoiiz-
ing the laying of tracks on any streets ex
tending from the mam tracks 10 any depot In
the city. The other side , admitting that the
city had granted Biich n charter years ago ,
insisted that it had no authority to grant
such a charter. The city had no such powers
except as the state granted it in the city
charter. The city , by its charter , was given
by the state no such power.
The arguments were not concluded until
last evening at 0 o'clock , when tlio court an
nounced that ho would look into tbo mutter
during the evening and render his decision
at 9 o'clock this morning. Work on the now
line has not thus far been stopped , as the
company has kept its moa nt work on the
curves and switches at the Pearl street cor
ner , but this Is nearly completed , und it Is
desired to have the matter settled.

A Tom-Koolory
Frank Trimblo , whoso occontricltloj have
made htm a familiar character in Council
Bluffs , was Htnndiim nt the counter In the
olllco of the Olobn yesterday , talking with
Tom Bowman , the proprietor of that paper
nnd ox-post in 13 ter , Trimblo suddenly re
marked ; "Well , Tom , don't you want a first
class sensation for your paper ! "
"Of course. What Is ill"
"Well , I'll glvo you a llrat class Item right
now , " There was a wilder look than usual
in his eye , uud pulling a revolver from hia
pocket Trimblo placed It against his own
temple , sayiag : "I'm going to kill myself ,
right now. " As ho cocKed it Bowman
crouched beneath the counter out of raugo
of tuo weapon , which ut Uiat instant was
snapped , but did not go off ,
Bowman rose , to his foot again nnd as ha
faced the desperate young man , ho Jound
the barrel of the revolver pointed at himself ,
Trimblo remarking : "Well , I'll ' shoot you ,
then , " at tno same tlmo snapping the re
volver again , Bowman grabbad the revolver
ver uud wrcstol It from the grasp of the
young man. Then Triuinle laughed and
said ho was "only foaling thought I'd learn
yon to take a Joke. "
The joka explanation was confirmed by the
fact that the revolver was not loaded. It
was doubtless a very funny Joke for Trim-
bio , but the blanched lips of the ox-postmus-
tor could not form u smllo. Ho p'.aca.l ' the
captured revolver in a drawer , refusing to
turn U over to the jokor. He gave bun In
stead u terse , fervent , if not elegant , opinion
of such a joke aud such a Jolior.

loaded I t actually believe I've lost ten

tmrtlod na jili\co"s of punishment , * the
Nerchinsk inlili'Vdhl not scorn to mo so
terrible na they nro , often represented to
bo. It is not very plonsnnt , of course ,
to work eight or ton hours every day in
a dump or icy pnllory i00 ! foot under
ground ; but oVpn such employment ia ,
I think , less prejudicial to licnlth tliitn
unbroken conllnohiont in iv dirty , over
crowded , foul smell inir convict prison.
The mines are badly ventilated nnd the
passes liberated In them by the explo
sives used are doubtless Injurious ; but
there are no deadly fumes or exhala
tions from poisonous ores like slnnabar
to alToct tno health of the laborers
and experience scorns to show that
the dentil rate is no higher among
the convicts who go regularly every
day into the mines than among tho.su
who lie idle day after day in the vitiated
air of the prison kamoras. If 1 were per
mitted to iiitiko choice between complete
idleness in such a prison as that of
Algachl or list Kara and roetilar dally
labor In the inluop , I should , without
heel till Ion choose the latter. So far as
I could ascertain by careful inqury
among the convicts themselves , no ono
has over been compelled to live and
sleep in the mines day aud night , and
1 behove that all the stories to that
olTect published from time to time are
wholly imaginary and fictitious. The
working force may occasionally have
been divided into day and night gangs ,
oi % shifts , sent into the mines altorimto-
ly. but tno samu men have never been
required to remain there continuously
for twenty-four hours. At the present
time there ia no night work and all the
convicts return to their prisons before
dark , or id the short days of
midwinter very soon after dark. I
do not wish to bo understood as
saying that the life of Russian convicts
at the Nerchinsk silver mines is an easy
one , or that they do not suffer. I can
hardly imngino a more terrible and
hopeless existence than of a man who
works all day In ono of the damp , inud-
dy callorics of the Pokrofski mlno , and
gc-es back at night to a close , foul , ver
min-infested prison like that of Al-
gnclii. It is worse than tlio life of any
pariah dog , but ut the same time it is
not the sensationally terrible life of the
fictitious convict described by Mr. Gren-
vlllo Murray the convjct who lives
night and day underground , sleeps in a
roclcy niche * toils in hopeless misery
under the lash of a pitiless overseer ,
and is slowly poisoned to death by the
fumes of quicksilver. Such things maybe
bo effective in a sensational drama , but
they are not true. The worst feature
of penal servitude in Siberia is not hard
labor in the mines ; it is the condition
of the prisons.

Francaise , in the October Century.
Shakespeare saw it moving , troubled ,
changing , uncircumscribcd in its de
velopment by human will ) subject to
"tho winds and the rain and all the
brce/.cs that blow1. " IIo says in ono of
those passages of the "Two Noble Kins
men , " which were evidently written by
him :
This world's a city full of straying streets ,
And death's the market-place where each
one meets.
It is in these straying streets that
Shakespeare moves , the obscure laby
rinth whore man goes blindly , meeting
hero an ambush , there a precipice , and
where he changes fortune from a chance
meeting. Thcro is nothing certain , not
ono of his characters who could swear
to what ho will do an hour later. They
do not belong to themselves. They are
so much the plaything of a higher force
that they do not even fuel sure of their
conscience. "I believe myself passably
virtuous , " says Hamlet.
But who shall explain Hamlet ? Ilam-
lot is an enigma. How far was ho madV
When is ho completely mad ? But no
ono in these plays is quite sane. Lear
is out of his senses long before ho is de
mented ; Macbeth has hallucinations ;
Othello sees blood at the first word ;
Brutus talks to a ghost ; that terrible
sceptic Ittchard HI. sees visions.
Events themselves sometimes seem half
crazy. What I have said of "Macbeth"
might bo said of "llomco and Juliet , "
where in llvo days Juliet sees , loves ,
marries , dies and resuscitates , and dies
once more. All is falsehood , deceit ,
bewilderment. This cavalier , it is Rosa
lind ; this pngo , Imogen ; this judge ,
Portia ; this statue. Uennoine. Ono
scone in "King Lear" make Lear ( who
goes mad from sorrow ) and an exile
hvhd pretends to madncbs ) and a fool
( who is mad by profession ) all talk to
gether amid the thundorand lightning.
Wo ask ourselves : Where are wo ?
Who are woV Prospero tolls us :
Wo nru such stuff
As dreams are made on ; and our llttlo llfo
Is rounded with a sleep ,
Shakespeare saw life as in a dream ,
and thus has shown it. Molioro ( saw
thingn in their reality. IIo wont down
to tlio immutable. As for life , in his
plays ho sees it simple. Only those
events happen which happen to us all.
Wo love , wo marry , wo have children ,
wo consult the doctor , wo die. The
ether incidents that may occur spring
from the shock of character ; they can
bo deducted logically ono from the
ether , and would remain in the control
of man if ho uould but listen to reason.
And this is the great moral that can
bo drawn from Molioro : keep yourhoad
and all .vill go well. Ills work is as
clear as day ; hatred of vice shows It
self , and the love of trutn no platonio
love , but an active love , armed and
fighting to the last hour. For Molioro
is in the thick of the crowd ; Shakes
peare dwells in the temples of serenity ;
ho observes , sonibor nt llrst , peacefully
latoron ; and ho gives to our meditation
and reflection th , < J immense and painful
spectacle of the .world . , but draws from
It no rule , for what rule can bo used in
a dreamV Perhaps , to finish , it might
bo said that Sliakcspearn leaches us to
think , but that 'Molioro ' teaches us to
live , , '

-TO THE-
The coal dealers of Council HlutTs would most respectfully say In oxplanaliou
of the reduction in prlco of coal made by A. T. Thatcher , ot this city , that Mr.
Thatcher has heretofore olujmed to sell coal by wholesale only , and that many of
us Have purchased coal from him nt the market prices , and would still continue
to do so , if wo could got a good nrtlclo of coal that would plcaso our trade , bub
with coal bought from Mr. Thatcher wo have had a trrcat deal of trouble and
complaint , and those of us who have handled his coal have boon
isliil to
vom him or lose our customers.
To resent this nml coerce the dealers into buying an inferior nrticlo of conl
Mr. Thatehor has come into tlio retail trade , ami is now olToriup his coal at a loss
lirico delivered to constimora than ho chat-pod u for it at his yards , and also at
lower Dficos than wo could purchase Morcnmitilo Coal olsowhbro.
