CASK ACAIN'ST JISUOMI3 COUI/TEU. 1,1 ( t If I.llci-llliooil llml It Will Ic ) Culled fur Trial. It Is now absolutely certain that the case of the State against Jcromo C. Coulter , ex- city treasurer under Henry Dolln , will not be called for trial today , as was Intimated Komo tlmo ago. Export AVcttllng , the witness upon whom the state relied for evidence to prove the alleged embezzlement , has left the state and will not return. Jerome Coulter , the defend ant , left the city Sunday , going back to St. l ouls , where ho Is employed. The departure of thcso two men loaves the atato without a mulu witness Hncl without a defendant. There were certain drafts on which It w alleged that the state rested itu case , it being contended that on these. Coulter had drawn the $31,000 , charged against him , out of the city treasury depositories. These drafts have disappeared , which fact leaves tliu .stato without a peg on which to hang Ita prosecution. The assistant county attor ney slid that theao drafts were In existence eomo three months ngo , but that since that tlmo they had been either lost or destroyed , hut which ho could not nay. Th ? case against Coulter Is set for this mvnlng In Judge Ilaker's court , but what action concerning It Is not known to n certainty , though it la considered probable that the county attorney will enter a nolle. KiMlcrnl Court Idle , There wes no case ready for trial In the federal court yesterday and consequently there was no session. An adjournment was taken until this morning , when the call will Include a couple of Important cases. Ono Is the case of Mo Barber Asphalt com pany apilnst the city and the ctSior the suit of the Modern Woodmen of 'America , against the Union National bank. Neither of these cases are likely to be tried thia week City Attorneny Connell Is too jnneh tied up with the Holln case now on trlxl In the district court and will probably secure a continuance. In the Modern Woodmen case tiho head officers and the bead attorney cannot bo to the city this week on account ot a directors' monthly meeting In Uock. Island this week. An attempt will therefore be icado to hnvo the case put over .y untl' ' next week. Alli'ireil 'Iloltlirr ' on Trial.

A fair sited au < Ucncb , commensurate -with the Intellectual treat afforded It , met In the crypt of Trinity cathedral last cvcnlns and listened with pleasure and profit to a lecture on "Our Constitution" by Rev. J. E. Calhcll , D , D. , of Drs "Molnes , Ia. The visit ing clergyman was to ha\o lectured on "Tho Great .Hebrew Nation , " hut at the last mo ment xvas unable to nnd his manuscript ( or the lecture which had .been announced , and so took the nioro national theme Instead. Hln npolcgy for the unannounced change was ac cepted when ho sMil that he should soon re turn to Omaha and deliver the lecture which was to hare been Riven last evening. In that way Omaha receives two lectures from an Interesting and Instructive lecturer where oil crwlse It would have heard but one. Tito lecturer drew sharply the line be tween confederacy and nationalism , and this distinction together with the Until triumph of the national Idea formed tlio thcmo of the lecture. ( Beginning with the tlmo of Martin 'Luther ' ho said the great reforma tion of that period Was not so much a re- llglouu movement as It was a struggle be tween Imperialism and nationality. Primarily the reformation niado the nations. It was nationality that began .with Martin Luther. The real history ot ( England began with Henry Vlll. The Spanish Armada was on attempt to re-establish Imperialism , Today England represents the national idea In Eu rope ; Spain the Imperial Idea. With this Introduction the lecturer described the fight between the two Ideas when transferred to the new world. The frequent wrangles be tween the nations of Central and of South America show what progress the Imperial Idea has made on the American continent whllo the uncxaimplcd success ot the United States sho\\s the development of the na tional Idea. In "superior English , " for the use "of which Dr. Cathell commended our colonial ancestors , ho told of the genesis and progress ot rationality as shown In the history of the United Butt's. The failure cf the articles ot confederation bccauso of the Impotence ot the confederate Idea was pointed out. The suc cess ot the national Idea In the convention ot 1787 , which formed the constitution , "tho most remarkable convention that ever came together ; " the triumph of the national Idea In the legislative , still greater In the Judici ary and irost consummate- all In the execu tive branch of the government , nnd the su preme and glorified triumph of nationality In the civil war , were the principal headings from which the lecturer dcMvcrcd a didactic and Interesting address. AMUSEMENTS. The engagement of Dlgby Bell In "Tho Hoosier Doctor" began at the Crclghton with Sunday evening's performance Instead of with the proposed matinee , on account of the in disposition of the star , the state ot whcse throat wee such , by reason ot a severe cold , that ho felt it prudent to husband his strength for his appearance at night , The audicnco to which this latest play of Augustus Thomas was Introduced on this oc casion was not large , probably on account of the Inclement weather , but was appreciative and enthusiastic , as , Indeed , It had every provocation to be. Nothing more worthy of a llko nature has been presented In Omahc slnco Frank Mayo first made us acquainted with the inhabitants of Daweon. Llko that delightful play , the strength of "Tho Hoosler Doctor" ties not so much In solidity and correctness of dramatic construction as In the diversity and excellence of Its character types. There are reminders in It , likewise , ot "Shore Acres , " and ot others of the mod ern realistic plays , which , whllo appealing to the heart rather than to the Intellect , do not fall far snort of satisfying both. Mr. Bell has not been saen lu Omaha at all for a long time never as a star. nip Van Winkle , it will be remembered , mourns In his old ago over the fact that "wo arose so soon forgot when we're gone. " Although a good many people hereabouts have unques tionably lost track of Mr. Bell , ho Is in a fair way to resume his old popularity , aud with such a pretty play as "Tho Hoosier Doctor , " such a uniformly excellent company to assist him in presenting It , and such ad mirable and mellowed ability ot his own to direct the whole , tho'hour of his triumph cannot bo long delayed , even If It has not already arrived. Mr. Bell's past achievements as a comic opera star , notable as they were , had In no wise prepared Iho theater-going public for so fine , true and cons'stcnt ' a character isation Ee that of Dr. Willow. If ho shall never do anything more or better tlian that , ho will at any rnto have inado good hie right to a more than ephemeral fame. Laura Joyce Bell fairly divides tlio artistic honors with her hua band. In her really remarkable character study of that unspeakable old gorgon , the mother-in-law. Her make up Is likewise a work of art , which received merited recogni tion from the audience. Mabel Strickland , the charming Ingenue , who came to Omaha with the Staple-ton company two seasone ago , is , ai ; usual , delicate and refined In the role of Martha , and shows a decided growth In polso and tcchnlc since her Icot appear ance here. There Is a HtUo child , Ethel Vance , who Is commendably free from the faults which commonly beset stage children. Frank' Monroe Is well liked as the meddlesome - some groceryman. Indeed , the company , as a whole , Is pleasantly harmonious and with out scrloua blemish. These who hive been , rcceonably enough , bewailing the dearth of good things at the theaters , have their opportunity In "Tho Hoosler Doctor. " If they Improve It as the entertainment deserves the Crolghton thea ter will bo filled at every performance from now till Wednesday night , There will be a matinee on Wednesday.

YcsterJuy ho was taken Into Captain Mostyn's oilic ? and closely ( inestloncd by several officers. "I'll tell J-OU'BO ' not'n , " replied Hcndrlcks irritably , after half an hour's subjection to the "sweating" process. "I'm goln' to tilk to a lawyer , and then you'es can do your worst" Uoyond this nothing could ho elicited ns to his past residence- occupation. Chauncey H. Wllcox , Nols Benson nnd Lars Nelso-n called at tha station this morning and again positively Identified Ilendrlcks ns the man who bad held them up. Assistant County Attorney Winter filed thrco Informations against htm. The flrst complaint Is In the caeo of Wllcox , nnd charges HendHcks with shooting with Intent to kill , and also \\Itli attempted highway robbery. The sacond charges highway robbery , and la sworn to by Lars Nelson. In the case ot Hols Benson whom Ilendrlcks attempted to hold up near Thirty-sixth and Farnatn streets , the Information mation contains two counts. The first al- legefl assault with Intent to rob , nnd the second end shooting with Intent to kill. Ilendrlcks was arraigned in police court on his pica of not guilty , and the case was continued for a preliminary hearing until Wednesday at 2 o'clock. In speaking of the case , Attorney Winter says that the evidence Is so strong against the prisoner that ho was almost sure of receiving the limit ot hla offense , which Is fifteen years In the penitentiary. Although not positively known , It Is thought that Ilendrlcks Is a Nebraska man. The police have Information to the effect that o formerly lived In Cody , Neb. , and still has relatives there. His father formerly ran a aloon at that place and young Hen- drloks for a tlmo kept bnr for him. He , however , proved _ to bo too wild oven for this business and" then went to work for a ranchman n few miles distant from the town Ho became Involved In a fight ono night with one ot his fellow cowboys and lott that section ot the country. Ho next showed up In this city cud as he was short of money It appears ho took desperate methods for replenishing his exchequer. South Omaha News.
