Crane against the United Stoics ldascnic l3enevo- lent association was on trial all day. The testimony taken was devoid uf anything at nil bordering on the sencationci and wan confined to a wearisome xminatlon of 'lh records and check stubs of the company , A great mass of figures was lireactited , but at present it Is about unintelligible , except to an expert.

Then the r.port ut the asoitcn ! , male December 31 , last to the auditor of state , was taken up and item b3' item the various amounts reported to the imumanco department - ment ere discussed in detail. Mr. Itich- ardson did not hare a copy of the report made to the auditor , but checked up the Items as found in a sketch or first draft of the report , 'ahieli ho had retained in his possession , and did not send to the depart- Inent. The report itself is promised to be here today and further examination into that branch of the case deferred until this morning. In the afternoon Mr. Richardson was again on the stand for the plainti and was interrogated at length in regard to the salaries - aries and traveling expenses paid the 0111- cers nod employee of the company and the funds out of svhiih the salaries were paid. Stub by stub the checks of the association for clerical and traveling expenses were gone over , In every case it 5fl5 found that the salaries had been paid out of the proper fund. Mr. Shea then inquired about the relation of the officers of the associaticin with the olficers or the i3uamanty Fund Life association in the past up to come time in April last , when the old directors and om. core of the Guaranty Fund resigned , and the association was taken charge of by the Omaha Life association of Minneapolis. None of the officers of the United States Masonic are now officers of the Guaranty Fund Life. Th typewritten forms of contracta of settlement used recently by the association were produced , and then Mr. Richardson stepped down to let Alex Shannon , the adjusting - justing agent of the association , who has bad the matter of settlement In charge testify as to the number of aettlemcnth made and the amount of claims still remaining - maining against the ssoctation unsettled. Mr Shannon testified that the association had settled death claims against it of $137- 750 since the first. of the year 1896 , and that there was nothing due on any of the set- tbemonts ; that the association had met "vcr sbttlement exactly as agreed , and that tlier was nothing due on this account. Mr. Shea then inquired into the policies issued on the natural premium plan by the association and found there was nothing delinquent on any oX them. Eight thousand dollars of claims were on hand , but chocks were ready to send out on $3,000 of them at the begin- fling of the trial. and on the balance proofs had not been received or had been received only recently. The entire testimony of the day was evi- dcntly a search to discover some discrep- ILOCy or failure of the association to conduct - duct its affairs as required , and a ery monotonous examination was made of the payments made by the association to officers and empbayes as balances and cleric hire. Nothing of interest to the public was ihown , except that salaries paid the officers and empboyes were nothing out of the ordinary. and were paid out of the regular fund of the association for expenses , and not out of the mortuary or guaranty funds. lIE PUNIShED TIlE NEGRO. Fatliert Avcngesan , IliNult OlZcre' His flnurliter. A man from Missouri made It decidedly interesting for a few momenta last evening for a negro named Lee Berger. The MIs. sourian was en route west with all of his earthly goods and his family packed into a covered wagon. One member of his family was a comely daughter. who was the cause of the trouble. The wagon had been stopped for a few minutes on Broadway near the Northwestern depot , while the husband looked alter some matters that required his attention. The daughter and her mother were sitting on a spring seat in the front of the wagon and when the drunken negro came swaggering along the attractive face of the country girl caught his eye. lie 1w- mediately made an insulting proposition to her and received a rap across the face with the horsewhip wielded with a good deal of vigor by the enraged mother. The brute was not deterred and attempted to pull the girl from the wagon , but was jrcvcnted by the mother applying the butt end of the whip with good effect. The negro then left and a few moments later the father re- turned. When he learned of the outrage he went after the darkey. Ho found him in the vicinity of a barber shop , furtber up the street. Then man from Missouri iulbed a big knife from his clothes and started to carve the negro in roper shape , The latter defended himself with bricks and clubs and beat o his asasilunt , but not until the Missourian had. succeeded in cutting the fellow's clothes to pieces. Other colored soon attempted to stop the trouble and the white man left. The family went into camp near Twenty-fourth street. The matter was reported to th police and the Missourian was brought up to the station and required to file an information against the negro.

JIOIIRIITSOS. A W'u'nnn t'n'vlhlIzig hint lie Should lie Married. A woman closely vCIlcd , and who proved herself to be thoroughly the mistress of her own toxigae , came over from Omaha yes. tertlay as tbe agent of another woman , Iioc name she withheld the same stubborn persistence with which she concealed - cealed her own. She visited the marriage license department of the county building and made Inquiries concerning a marriage liectise that was issued a few days ago to 1-i , I. , Robertson , aged 32 , and Miss Nellie Bunter , aged 22 , both of Omaha. The woman was desirous of ascertaining if the marriage had been solemnized , and she seeitie'd to get nome satisfaction from the fact that the register did not show the me- turn of the certificate. She talked freely to Clerk Baird , and told him that Robertson had been livIng for the last three years in Omaha with a voman whom. he passed as his wife , and who had been Introduced and was known to a large number of friends and neighbors as Mrs. It. L. Robertson. A few 0535 ago the woman says Robertson gave his wife some money and suggested that she go out arni spend it for household uses. She did 140 , and during her absence Robertson - son tiacked up his clothing and portable lnopertY and came to Council Bluffs in company 'ith Miss hunter , and lost no time in getting the marriage license. This is the last that has been seen uf him in the neighborhood of his Omaha home. The fIrst intimation the Omaha wife had that she was deserted was the announce- went in The flee that Robertson and Miss Hunter had secured a license to wed. The unknown agent of the deserted wife spent the afternoon endeavoring to find out if the marriage had been performed , but was unsuccessful - successful , She says Robertson was a policeman - liceman either In Council Bluffs or Omaha , she is not sure which. Ministers and justices - tices of the peace often delay sending their marriage returns to the county clerk , and it is possible that the ceremony has been Performed. _ _ _ _ _ YDIIHg Farmer Goes Iisuj- .

The St. Louis Live Stock exchange has voted on the amendment allowing the corn- mission firms only one traveling solicitor after the first of the year. The amendment - mont was almost unanimously lost. Omaha and Kansas City have voted strongly in favor of the amendment , but it is to go into effect only on condition that Chicago , Kan- ens City , Omaha and St. Louis also agree to It. Chicago has not yet voted , and no matter how the vote stands there the anendthent is lost by St. Louis voting' as it did. it thought at the exchange here that the rule would certainly carry , as nearly all of the smaller commission firms favored it.

Fleitacs South Omnh People. South Omaha people were greatly gratified yesterday afternoon at the news from Wash- ingion that the Exposition bill had passed and Congressman Mercer was being corn- plimented on all sides , Citizens of the Magic City would very much like to see the exposition grounds located at Riverriew park or on the large flat west of the city and near Seymour park.
