United States .District Attorney Sunimorn will represent Iho Bovernraont and Attorney General Smyth will present Itt-i slilo of the slate. Both attorneys have been at work almost night nnd djy preparing for this case , which IB recognized as ono of the most Important the \Vnr department has been Interested In for many years. Some of the points in volved have never been raised In any court end the decision wllf , of course , establish n precedent that Is likely to bo followed In cases of n similar nature that may hereafter - after occur. Juilga Mtinger this afternoon Instructed the i United States marshal to assemble the Jury of the federal court on Tuesday , January 21) ) . When thn docket was called this mornIng - Ing only seven cases wcro ready for trial. Slniiilnril Oil Cum- . A demurrer has been llled In the supreme court In the Slumlord Oil trut.t case , asking 1 for n dismissal of tlio suit on the ground that an It Is ono In original Jurisdiction the supreme court bad no right to pass upon 1 II. It Is alleged that under section 2 of : nrtlclo 0 of the constitution of the state the 1 original Jurisdiction of Hie supreme court Is limited to cases relating to revenue , civil 1 cntcs In which the statu Is Interested , and I mandamus , quo warranto anil habeas corpus i proceed IIIKE. The Standard Oil company do- rilts that the oosi1 comes within the mean ing of this section of the constitution and I ncEortn thai MB It Is criminal In character It should be tried In the district court. It Is i also alleged that the act defining trusts and I conspiracies against trade provides that nil I milts to enforce Its provisions shall be brought In the llrst Instance In the dis trict court , to the exclusion of the supreme court , except on appeiil. The petition Is Blgned by Alfred I ) . Eddy , John M. Thurston nnd McCoy & Olmstcd , attorneys for the defendant. The cnso against the Standard Oil com pany was originally Instituted In the dis trict court of Douglas county nnd afterwards dismissed on the motion of the attorney general. A month or so later It was again given new life by being filed In the su preme court. All this caused a delay of several months and addctl to the costs ac cruing to the case. Those who have watched the proceedings assert that It was begun In the district court and afterward withdrawn and begun In the supreme court simply to delay as long as possible the llti.il hearing. If the supreme court upholds tlu demurrer It will be dismissed , necessitating n now beginning In the lower court. At- trrney General Smyth will rc-tlre from office In a little over eleven months , and It IB quite probable that the ultimate hearing may bo delayed until his successor goes Into olflce , In which case , provided the next at torney general Is a democrat , ho would most likely ask to be employed In the pros ecution on account of his previous knowl edge of the case. Mr. Smyth Is not espe cially anxious to participate In the proceed ings itgaliiEit the oil trust , but a big fee after the expiration of his term mlgUt In duce him to change his mind.

It is one of the peculiar properties of Dr. Pierce's Oolden Medical Discovery that it eliminates from the blood the ef fete and poisonous matter which is antag onistic to health. It also gives to the blood those elements which are necessary to its strength and vitality.

( Special. ) The fight for the control of the populist national comtj mllteo which Is expwtcd to meet next month to Issue n call for the populist national convention must be waging fast and furious , judging from the correspondence , circulars , newspapers < and discussions In populist clr- clcfl. As already stated , the conlest Is be- twcen ihose who favor fusion with the dem ocrats and those who want the party to keep Ir the middle of the road. That Senator Allen Is lending his Influn ei co to the assistance of the fusionlsts is evidenced by the following letter sent out tt all the members of the committee and which has been received by a number ot prominent Nebraska populists : WASHINGTON , Jan. T. UW.-Sonntor Hutler ! , chairman of the populist central committee' , Hibmltied 11 lufcri'tnluni vote for the time nnd phui > of holding the meetIng - Ing of the- committee nnd of the national convention.

This will accommodate' the largest part ' i.l the pe.puhsts . and will do much loward assisting lo carry the southwestern nnd northwtrtorn states where our vole Is Inrsr. WILLIAM V. ALLEN. II I That Die fusion members arc alarmed Is I also shown . ' by the appeals which nro ap- pcarlng , In the Nebraska Independent , which I voices the fusion branch of the populists In , this ) state. In Its last number this paper cites the history of the "Omaha agree- mcnt" reached at the conference of the national committee held In Omaha a little j over a year ago. In which the middle-read . ers secured a vote asking Ihe national com- mltteo to call the national populist convention - vention a month before either of the other ' conventions. It charges that the mlddlc- i j j readers violated this agreement at once by I permitting a call for their convention at I Cincinnati , at which Uarkcr and Donnelly j wcro nominated for president nnd vice pros- [ Ident respectively. It Insists that this vlo- \ lallon of the agreement by the mlddle-road- | crs absolves the fusionlsts from all obll- gallon to live up to It , and concludes : j i Now these same men want to come back I Into i the | populist party and completely control - trol the organization. There can he ho Just J claim miulc that anyone Is either In ethics or honor hound by that Omaha agreement. Furthermore , every man who J ; I ' took i part In its violation and helped to i organize n new party should he barred from j participation In the e-ounclls of the popu- llsi parly or attempting ; to net as its oill- cluls. It : s on that ground that the hideI pendent i wt. .lrt light thla battle and light f It ' .o a finish. In the same connection it makes further charges that the middle-readers arc try- I Ing I to buy up proxies to control the meet- I I , ing j . of the national committee and pictures ! this result should they be successful : j I If the mlddle-ronders - get e-ontrol of the i millomil committee they will expel every > i ono who believes In fusion ; they will nom- Inato i Barker and Donnelly ; they will control - trol the party name ; they will have the ' only candidates on tlu > Australian ballots , ' nnd thu rest of us will have to organize n j new i party or vote the straight democratic ii tlckel without having a word to say in its councils. To offset this It wants to expel all the members who do not believe In fusion nn.l 1 i thus t smooth n way for the > final swallowing | of thu populist party by the democrats. "It is clear , " said a well-known popu'ist yesterday , "that the Independent voices the plans of the fusion crowd who arc. trying to t deliver our party over to Bryan and that t they are ready to resort to the most desperate tactics , to even the extent of expelling - polling 1 the mlddle-roaders and seizing the committee ( ) by force if need be. If they do ) , of course It Is all up with the populist party I , because no one who believes in pap- . ullst ; principles , which are founded upon honesty and fair play , will ever submit to such arbitrary work , which Is worse than . anything that waa ever charged by us upon ' the machines of the two old parties. Tha coming meeting ot the national committee Is crlllcal in the life of the party. It will mean either its continuance along lines mapped out by the Omaha platform or it , will mean its Immediate dissolution.

There cornea a time when one who is siid'oring from Bright's di * feae of the kidneys cannot be helped. His kidneys are de stroyed and no medicine or man can replace them. Hut there was a lime , an opportunity given to stop its ravages. Kidney'di sease manifests itself by backache , unusual desire to urinatetired feelings , discolored water showing sediment OH standing , head ache , dyspepsia , bad taste in the mouth , short breath , loss of memory and many other symptoms. A person may have ono or more of the above indications of kidney trouble or others , such as failure of eyesight , rheumatism , chills and fever , constipation , neuralgia , etc. The foregoing are but symptoms of the real trouble diseased kidneys. When any of the preceding warn ings are given of kidney disease , just then is the time , the op portunity , to resort lo Warner's Sifo : Cure , a vegetable prepara tion , which has stood Ihe lest of twonly yeira in all parts of the world and cured more people of kidney , liver and urinary di seases than any preparation over manufactured. This great remedy cin ; bo procured of your druggist. Accept no substitute. It has been proved in thousands of cases that there is nothing "just as good. " , I t ( SOUTH OMAHA SEWS. .
