Intercut.
I.V considerable ma of business U coming
up ( or consideration before Judge Manger of
the federal court , the Mar term of which
will commence on next Monday morning.
Thin term is expected to be qulto an ex
tended one , a Judge Mungcr la nnxloue to
clear up the dockets an much ae possible.
Court officials did not look for on adjourn
ment before the end of June.
The moat Important feature la the sitting
of the grand Jury , which Is to commence Us
ecvslon on Monday , the Jurors having been
summoned to report on that day. This bidy
hw an Imnittiao amount of criminal work cut
out for It , but none of It Is of a particularly
Important character. There are three or four
postofllcca cases and as many counterfeit
canes , but none of them are startling In
nature. The remainder of the cafes arc
those In which the charges are dotting liquor
to Indiana or without governmental permla-
Ion. There are a fircat number of the lat
ter. The number of wltnciats summoned ,
somewhere between 225 and 250 , la the larg-
tst that has been called for come time.
ThB petit Jury Is not to report until Thurs
day. Monday , Tuesday and Wednesday will
be ouuipled by Judge iMungcr lu calling the
dockcU and looking after other preliminary
work. The criminal docket Is the first ono
to bo taken up , but work on It will not com
tncnco until the grand Jury finishes Its slt-
tlng. In the meantime the Jury will be em
ployed on civil ca ( r .
There are about as maney cases on the
law docket as during the last regular term
of court , and the equity docket Is In the
eame condition. There have been compara
tively few really Important cases com
menced , however , but there arc several In
which considerable Interest attaches.
SUITS OK THE STATE.
The state has on hand several cults of
considerable Importance. Ono of these Is
that of State Treasurer Mi-servo against
Kent K. Haydcn , receiver of the Capitol
National bank of Lincoln , In which an at
tempt la made to recover the quarter of a
million of state money that was sunk In It
at Its failure. Another Important suit Is
that of the state against the Omaha Na-
tlonal bank , transferred from the district
court , In which It Is sought to recover the
J.101.000 with which ex-State Treasurer Hart
ley took up the warrant which was Intended
to relmbursu tho. sinking fund for the
amount lost In t < he Capitol National bank
failure. A third case Is that the State
against the Hrst National bank of Orleans
to recover an overdeposlt placed In the In
stitution by Dartley over and above the
amount allowej by the depository law. It
is doubtful U any of these cases will be
tip for bearing.
There are two cases on the dockets of
Intcrcit to stockmen In the state. Ono of
these 1s the action brought by the govern
ment against the South Omaha Live Stock
exchange on tlio anti-trust law. The hear
ing has bwn had , but It Is hardly probable
that a decision will be rendered until the
supreme court disposes of the Kansas City
case. The other action was started by
Oreenllcf W. Simpson against the Union
Stock Yards company of South Omaha , In
which the sthcilule of feed and yard
charges fixed by the last legislature Is at
tacked on the gronJs of unconstitutional .
WATER WORKS INVOLVED.
Of zreatcr local Interest ore the cases In
volving the water works system of this city.
The original foreclosure suit has not been
fully wound up and actions have been
broi'-ht by the American Loan and Trust
company for a deficiency Judgment and by
the Now England Water Works company at
tacking the legality of the sale of the sys
tem. The city is also Interested In the suit
ibrousht by the Uarbor Asphalt company to
collect a back debt for paving and of the
damB suit of Klngman & Co. , on account
of the city's action In grading In the rear of
he company's bujldlng , when the erection of
the 11urlluKt.cn depot was commenced.
The suit to segregate the telegraph systems
of the Western Union and the Union Pacific
on the latter system Is also on the docket ,
.but no final action Is likely to be taken until
the Union Pacific foreclosure cases are wound
up. Action on the latter may bo taken be
fore the close of the term.
' A suit of Interest to the members of the
order In this state and all over the country
is that of the Modern Woodmen of America
against the Union National Dank. The trial
of this was commenced during the last term
of court , but It was continued on legal
grounds until the May term.
Stnco the last term a larce number of
cases Involving patent right have been
started and many of these will be disposed
of.

. Yesterday was the last day for paying
county tajccu for 1897 prior to the. date of the
penalty attaching , and consequently there
was a great rush at the office of the county
treasurer. Several thousand dollars were
tmld In during the morning , while largo
lists that the clerks could not work up were
left , together with deposits for the pay
ment of taxes. The county treasurer says
that the payment : ) are much greater than
last year at the same date , lie Is of the
opinion that If the usual number of pay
ments are made during the summer the
delinquent list thU fall will be very small.

While no report had been trmdo by the

by the Ilotnl of Education to conduct the
Investigating with regard to vlolatlonn of
the tlccnsa laws , members of the committee
ctnto that the work ! being vigorously pros-
Muted and that It ban * lrc-idy produced
substantial rraulto. They eay ( bat two ad

taken out a a result of the lu > obligation
and proceedings are about to be commenced
agilnst a third saloonkeeper who ht.i been
discovered to be doing butlneca without a
license. It U also ntated that as noon aa
the aaloona are disposed ot proceedings wilt
be begun against nome local express com-
patile * who have only taken out licences for
a small proportion of their nagcms. It Is
-inserted that one firm das between thirty
and forty wagons for which no license * have
been Issued , and It I' ) expected that the
board will derive a considerable additional
revenue from this source.
No steps have been taken so far to compel
the keepers of resorts that are selling liquor
under a covernment license to take out a
local license as required by the. Slocum law.
Members of the committee state that notices
have been sent to each of thc.se persons to
jake out a license , and complaint of their
failure to do so has been lodged with the
license board. They say that since the license
board declines to act In the matter the Doard
of Education cannot properly proceed alone.
It Is further stated that a complete- report
of the work done by the committee will bo
submitted to the board as soon as It Is com
pleted.

Building Inspector Butler has been making
a thorough examination of the puBHc waterIng -
Ing troughs around the city and has found
Just four out of thlrty-nve that were In sufficiently
ficiently- sound condition to allow of the
water being turned on. It seems that when
the water was tunocd' ' off last fall the vent
cock were not opened and water was allowed
to accumulated and freeze. This has caused
so much ( fa mage that with a very few ex-
ceptlora the troughs must be taken up and
thoroughly rennovated before they can be
used. No estimate has been made ot the cost
of doing this work , but It will cost quite a
hit of money at the least and It will probably
bo several weeks before the troughs are lo
u condition to be of any service.
Sflmol Itimril Not Itomly to Hnr.
The opinion Is prevalent among members
of the Board of Education that no affirmative
action will be taken In regard to the various
propositions to sell real estate that are now
on file. It Is aeserted that none of the propo
sitions that have been submitted so far pro
pose to convey enough space to accommodate
a largo school building. None of them In
clude more than two lota , and It would re
quire three lots for such a building as would
be needed In the proposed district. The mem
bers fear that It they purchased two lots It
would develop that additional room was
necessary and that the owners of the adjoin
ing prcparty would then hold It at fabulous
prices on the principle that the board had to
buy it even It It Buffered In the bargain.

then plank down the { 10 with as bad grace

Wnlt for the Attorney.
No steps have 7et been taken by the city
legal department towards obtaining the order
from the United States court contemplating
a settlement ot the claims of the Barber
Asphalt company for JGO.OOO. It Is stated
that this matter will probably be looked after
by City Attorney Conncll , who Is now In New

The question of what kind of weather
Omaha has during the summer aad fall
months Is perhaps of considerable Interest }
to prospective exposition visitors who know ,
nothing of Nebraska climate. No fairer ]
means of foretelling what conditions are aptj
to prevail during the exporltlcn can bo
found than a study ot the corresponding
months ot the last five years. j
The average mtaa temperature of June
for the last live years Is 72 , and the num
ber of days on which there was more or
less precipitation average eleven. June Is'
the , monlli which hts the most rainfall o't
any In the year , but the ralna come Inj
the form of thunder showers and a largo
quantity of water falls In a short tlmo and
the month seldom has days which are en
tirely cloudy and disagreeable. For the
most : part the Juno rains come in the after
noon , are over In a little while and make
the day the more delightful for their havi |

Augmt for five years shows a mean tem

WECKIA' STOCK MAHK'ET ' 1U3VIKW.
PrlccM Ailvnnce the I.nttcr t'nrt of the
Week.
NEW YORK , April 30. The stock market
sank Into a condition of lethargy In the early
part of the week. Duslncas fell to a minimum
and only a few leading stocks were traded
In at all. Prices of these could not be moved
much more than a point by the utmcst efforts
of the small board traders. The decHnlng
tendency ! n the early part of the week gave
encouragement to a coterie of large profes
sional operators to enter the market for a
bull turn. They 'have ' aJvtuced prices quite
roidlly the latter part of the week , and
have induced seme following. There- was no
evidences of city large outside interest In
the market Iu\ilng been awakened , and It Is
co open question whether the holdings thus
acquired Could be soil without carrying the
market back to the level at which they were
acquired. The motives given for the buying
ave the probability of a naval victory by the
United States squsdrcn off the Philippine
Islands , tbo superiority of the gunnery of I
the United States forces over the 'Spaniards '
demonstrated at Matanias ; the expected geol
effect of the successful floating of the gov
ernment bond Issue < and the promise of easier '
cordltlciv } In the money market. Strong
trame statements for ( March of fhe St. Paul
and BurKogtoa companies have given a
stimulus to speculation In the grangers , and j
the i Northern Pacific stocks have been firm '
on persistent rumors In London of a settle
ment of the passenger rate war. No con
firmation of tueso rumcrs have been found
on thU slJe. The coalcra hive enjoyed the
benefit of a better market for coal.

It h practically eirjufletl that the fraternal i

scino building on the ibluff tract at the
TKtnstnU Lsslppl groyndsj Fraternal Com-
ml&lner F. F. Rocae tis been In communi i
cation with the lejdMg'ccdera of the coun
try tor some time and the ' -caulta of hh ! (
efforts have been mail fl'a'ttertag. Architect
O. M. Zandcv tun completed Uie plans for
the building and It will bear the name "Tem
ple of FV.-.ternltles. ' " '
The building will be alnicst square on the
ground , with facade In tha renaissance style
of architecture. The , main entrance will bo
from a circular portico. Upwi entering two
stairways are seen leading from the main
hall to the jscsiid story. The hallway leads
to a main corridor. oH of which open the
jeccntloa ro ms , auditorium and committee
rooms. The oudltorlum will be about 40x60
feet In size with a height of thirty-four feet.
It will bo surrounded oa all sides by com
mittee rooms and will be lighted and ventil
ated from above. All the committee rooms
will open Into the auditorium by means of
drop sash , so th building can be made Into
a very commodlus hill -when occasion de
mands. The dimensions of the building will
be 93x115 feet , and the height from grade
level to the ten ot the figure which Is to
surmount the dome will be eighty feet. The
exterior U to be finished In plaster and staff
and will be very ornj'.e.
Many of the fraternal organizations of the
country hive selected the. day which they
wish to have set aside for them , and a day
| i will be chosen In a short tlmo which Is to
I bo called "Fraternity Day , " at which time
j j all fraternal organizations will unite In a
{ j | grand celebration o.ud reunion. 'Excursions '
are being arranged for by lodges In all parts
of the United States. The Ked Men have
already chosen August 10 as their official
day and the lied Men of Tennessee have
selected August 11 ca their day. Special ex
cursions will run from Nashville at that
time. The lied Men of Tennessee will give
a number of sham battles during their stay
In Omaha. The Iowa Knights of Pythlaa
have selected August 9 for their day , and It
Is quite likely that this same date will be
chosen by the national organization of
Pythians. The Fraternal Union of America
and Woodmen of the World have also de
cided upon dates.
Ono of the chief attractions of "Fraternity
Day" will be an address by Hon. F. A. Falk-
enburg , who bears the reputation of being
America's foremost fraternity orator.
Son * of Veteran * .
A movement has been started to raise a
regiment of Sona of Veterans to enllut from
Nebraska. Communication with all the paste
In the state shows that flve-stxtha of the C03
Sons of Veterans In the state are ready to
enlist. Officers will bo chosen from mecnbena
of the lodge and If more volunteers are called
for outsiders will be enlhted to fill the
, number out to 1,000 and the regiment will
| i bo called the Sens of Veteran Regiment of
Nebraska. Omaha ramp 16 has been contctn-
' ' plating the purctcae of rpgu'atlon ' army uni
forms for all Its members and In view of the
opportunity the post will probably have to
go to the front In a short time the uniforms
will be purchased Immediately and the pest
will drill regularly that It may bo ready to
Join the propped regiment.
A new feature Is to bo added to the national
encampment of the Sons of Veterzns whkli
Is la be held In Omaha thU summer. Com
petitive drills Nil ! be Cield and a cup will be
offered to ttio camp which excels. The Grand
Army of the Republic will be asked to fur-
