Itcforr tlir Court.
C. M. luiinflold of Ixgan w s the victim o (
n bfld memory or else a innn with a cinch
jesvterday in federal court. Dr. C. 15. Max
well , a physician of I-ocnn , waa on trial on
the charge of selling whisky In violation of
the Internal revenue laws , and ha had U-en
indicted partially on the testimony of Knin-
ticlil , who swore that he had purchased
liquor of the doctor on a number of occa
sions. When llainficld was put upon the
witness stand In court he seemed to have
forgotten entirely what he had told the
grand jury , and denied ever having bought
any liquor of Maxwell. This aroused the
suspicious of the court , ami on the evidence
bcine brought forward in b'.aek and white ,
Just as it left the lips of lUintield in the Jury
room , he ordered the olllcers to take Il in-
Held in charge in order that he inlcht be
given a hearing on the charge of perjury.
When the cnsc was investigated a little ,
certain facts came to light that indicated
that some one had done some work not down
on the program. Hainllold. It seemed , was
not of a very stronc mind , and some of Max
well's sympathizers had gone to him and
threatened to have him arrested for horse
stealing unless he testified in court differ
ently from what he had before the grand
jury. How much truth there would hnvo
been In this charge had it been made is not
known , but It had the desirea effect on Haln-
Held , as his testimony showed. When the
case came up for a hearing he was dis
charged.
The jury In the case of John Grant against
the Union Pacific Uailwav company wrestled
wilh the verdict all day long , and late In the
afternoon came in , reporting that the vote
stood ! i to 3 in favor of the plaintiff , and
they were stuck. They wanted to be dis
charged , but the lourt thought they had not
been out long enough to Justify him in nllow-
ine a disagicement. He accordingly sent
them back to their room with instructions to
try it again. There is a coed prospect of
their disagreeing , however , ant ) it Is hichly
probable that another trial will be neces
sary.
sary.Fred Wise and Alice , his wife , were among
the swarm of bootleggers who came up for a
hearing. Wise had been carrying on the
restaurant business and had compelled his
wife to run the bar. After the trial they
were both found guilty and a sentence was
imposed , but part of the man's sentence and
all of his wife's were suspended during good
behavior.
The grand jury made its final report and
was discharged. Six indictments were re
turned , all of them bootleggers , excepting
one. whose name is not made public yet , as
he is not in custody.
Mary Heller of Avoca was tried on the
charge of violating the internal revenue law.
A number of witnesses were put upon the
stand and testilied to having bought liquor
of her a number of tiiuts. As one witness ,
whose testimony was more objectionable
than the rest , was telling his story , the people
in the court room were somewhat surprised
to hear her call out in a stentorian voice.
"You're a liar. " She was immediately called
down by the court. At the conclusion ol the
testimony it was found that the jury had
not believed that the witness was a liar , for
a verdict of guilty was returned , and she
was sentenced to a term in jail.

The "Son of MonteCristo , " which is a new
play written expressly for Frank Linden ,
held the hoards at Dohar.y's last evening.
It is a continuation of the well known drama ,
the "Count of Munte Cristo , " made famous
by James O'Neill and others. Like the lat
ter , it is a dramatization of one of Dumas'
famous novels , but unlike it. there is an ex
cellent vein of comedy runninir all the way
through it. Last evening's production
proved it to be much stronger in action ,
more startling in situations , and brighter in
dialogue than its predecessor , which is say
ing a great deal. Mr Lindon's capability as
an actor was never more fully tested than last
nisht , when he played the title role , whilehis
daughter. Miss Edna Earlie , took the part
of Eugenic Danglers , in the same charming
manner that has characterized all her pre
vious efforts before Coundl Bluffs audiences.
Of the many i > ointsof interest the French
encampment under the walls of Constantine ,
the grotto of the island of Monti * Cristo and
the terrible swonl combat , are perhaps the
most thrilling. The play is justly termed
by the eastern prtts a "dramatic thunder
bolt. " Next season Mr. Linden will devote
all his energies to the production of the "Son
of Monte Cristo , " and last night's perform
ance indicates beyond a doubt that it will bo
the most successful season ho has ever
known.
' Damon and Pythias" is announced for
this evening. The play is one in which the
Knights of Pythias are always interested ,
and the prospects are that a large number of
them will witness the performance. Word
was received last evening from Omaha to
the effect that a number would bo present
from that place.

The city council met as a board of health
yesterday afternoon for the main purpose of
electing a city physicuin to take the place of
Dr. II. II. Jennings. There were four can
didates in the field , as it api > oaro4 from the
tirst ballot , Jennings receiving the votes of
the two republican members. Dr. Macrae , jr. ,
II. A. J. Cook 1 and J. C. Waterman 1 , on the
lirst ballot. On the second ballot the two
democrats who had given a complimentary
vote to Cook and Waterman came into the
fold according to schedule , and Macrae re
ceived five votes to Jennings' two.
Dr. Jennings submitted the report of the
state chemist on the Manawa ice which was
submitted to him last winter for analysis.
Where the reK | > rt has been all these weeks
no one knows , it having been allowed to
drop out of sight as soon as the men who
wore engaged in selling the objectionable
Ice agreed to stop cutting. The report
showed that several quarts of bacteria hail
been strained out of the water and .added to
the collection in the office of the state
chemist.
; t was decided to make an effort to nnd a
place suitable for a garbage dump. Another
meeting is to bo hold Saturday nveniug.
when it is hoped that something definite will
be known about the matter.

The fleht commenced at S :30 : , when the
men shook hands and retired to their cor
ners to commence the first round. The men
advanced to the center of the ring
and IJurko In getting away slipped
and foil. Bowen landed a good richt on
Ilurko's check nnd the latter clinched.
Howen landed nls right on the ribs and
IJurko was thrown over Bowen's head in a
clinch. Hurke was fouuht into his corner
and when the round ended Bowen was in
the lead.
Hound " - In this round both men landed
good rijhts and Burke was fought to the
ropes , where ho clinched. Burke was al
lowed first blood , but wns fouehl to the
ropes with heavy right and left banders on
the body.
Hound 3 Burke scored a good left hand
punch on his opponent's neck and drew away
to avoid punishment. Burke was again
fouibt to the ropps and Bowen landed two
heavi rights on the he id.
Hound Burke landed a good punch on
the head In this ro'ind , but got a similar hit
in return. The men were fighting in a fair
way and the audience cheered lustily.
Bowen landed two face blows , one with
right and the other with left.
From this time up to the forty-eighth
round the fighting as tame , but few hard
blows beinir struck and honors easy. In this
round the gong saved Burko. The referee
several times cautioned Bowen for foul fight-
Ing. In the sixty-second round the audience
accused the fighters of faking , ami many un
complimentary remarks were inado on their
actions.

What shall bo s-iid of them and their per
formance the 1-illpatlnns , who made their
debut at the Boyd last cvcninsr ? They have
talents of the highest class , and their work
is artistic to a degree seldom reached by
artists of normal physical development.
This is true , but tnc statement is altogether
Inadequate as descriptive of their work i'.nd
themselves. "The Pupil in Magic" is the
name of the play , which the program de
scribes as "a grand spectacular comedy
drama in four acts and nine tableaux. " and
at once be It said that the people of Omaha
have never before at home been given the
opportunity of witnessing an entertainment
which , being unique , is so beautifully at
tractive and so pleasingly interesting as
tliis work of Carl Hosenfeltl.
The story f It has one a beautiful com
pound of Goethe and Hans Andersen. Little
Fritz Wilse comes into Nuremberg to be a ] > -
prentlced to his uncle , the toymaker ; he
meets a beautiful young lady who bus called
to look around the wonderful automaton toy
warehouse ; worn out he goes to sleep , and
dreams ah. what dreams ! dreams that take
him through palace halls and into the icy
fastnesses that keep ward of the north pole
and but the play is indescribable ; it must
j be seen to be appreciated , and once seen it
cannot fail to be appreciated.
The scenery is beautiful , and there arc
mechanical effects introduced that are re
markable. One scene , "Tbe Wandering
Woons , " it is called shows the distracted
Fritz rushing ihrnuch the forest in search of
die liebe mutter , and depth on depth of
wood is discovered till the spectator seems
as much lest , in admiration , as the dear lit
tle fellow who chases the flying trees. It is a
triumph of stagecraft. This is but ono
scene. The automaton toy shop , with livinir
toys , Is not less wonderful.
The principal actors are midgets , but each
Is an artist. Franz Kbert is a comedian who
will compare favorably with the best come
dians on the stage today : indeed , his art is
freer from evident eflort than that of most
of them. Last eveninc's audience went wild
with enthusiasm over his acting andjrccallud
him again and again. He is a picture to look
on nnd his every word , look and gesture arc
Informed with the purest spirit of comedy.
Ho looks a perfect animated picture of Kep
ler's Puck. His one act of pantomime in the
second scene , portraying Puck all dressed up
and vinously careless of consequences , is
something to see again and again. The
other little people in their respective parts
are almost as perfect , and all in all no praise
can adequately meet their merit's desert.
The ballet is one of the best ever seen in
Omaha , the malority of the ladies rivaling
tnoso "dauchters of the gods divinely tall
and most divinely fair. " " " The Pupil in
Magic" has features that appeal to old and
youni : alike and is an entertainment the
critic can unqualifiedly recommend to all.
"Merry I'oblilrr" at tliu I'lirnaui.
"The Merry Cobbler" comp.iny began an
engagement at the F.irnam Street theater
last night that will continue for three
nights. Neither play nor people arc up to
the standard of previous attractions , but the
performance is amusing and includes some
very fair singing. The cast includes three
children , whose acting is one of the best
features.

Telegram to THE BCE. ] Just before noon a
tire broke out in the wood and coal shed in
the rear of Quartermaster Sergeant Hactor's
quarters. It burned like tinder and only
through the prompt action of the bucket
company was the dwelling saved.
The troops had Just returned to their
quarters when the fire call again sounded.
This time It was a prairie lire sweeping
down in dangerous proximity to the nost.
The six troops of cavalry were mounted and
away In a very few minutes , each man with
a gunnj sack which he wetted as the troop
passed through the creek. Five troops
foueht fire for three hours and returned. The
I troop is still out. They are supposed to been
on the reservation from which direction im
mense volumes of smoke can be seen.
Immediately after stable call and be
fore the men could get their sup | > er , another
alarm was sounded. A cale had sprung up
filling the air with dust and smoke and the
fire was coming directly toward the cavalry
stables. All went out on foot and fought
for an hour and a half and conquered , but it
was a close call.
The fire originated in an old shack In a
