SESSION OF STOCKHOLDERS POSTPONED
Aliicncc of Attorney (ieorne K.
Wrlitht from the City hit 111 to lie
the Reason for the I'rea
ent Walt.
The Joint meeting announced for yostcr
day afternoon between the stockholders of
tho Suburban company and the old motor
company failed to transpire. Stockholder
of tho Suburban company, Including G. W.
Wattlos of Omaha and a representative
of tho National Rank of Commerco of that
city held n meeting In tho offices of tho
company in the First National bank which
lasted up to midnight.
Mr. Wattles said lato last night that tho
consolidation had not yet been consum
mated and that they had been engaged all
day with matters pertaining tolcly to the
Suburban line.
From Mr. Ucorgo Tovvnscnd, president of
tho Suburban company, It Is learned that
thero Is a slight hitch In tho proceedings,
but he expects It will be smoothed over. He
says that tlmo of Mr. Wattles' option on
tho stock of the Suburban company expired

ily admitted that Mr. Wattles represents
heavy Interests In tho Omaha Street Rail
way company, nnd tho old motor company,
which will absorb tho Suburban company
as soon as tho transaction Is completed.
"Wo can stay In tho now company, hut ns
wo will be only tho small llsh In tho pond
wo shall moro likely pull out," ho said.
Tho "we" Is taken to mean himself, W. S.
Heed and Charles R. Hannan.

SCHOOL HOARD MKMIIEItS AIIK SOHH
Do .Nut I, Ike hr Course nf the
(.'on nly Sn ie rln ten drill.
Members of tho Hoard of Education are
feeling very much nnnoyed over County
Superintendent Mc.Manus having withheld
from them tho notlco of tho appeal taken
by Attorney Chambers until after they held
their meeting Tuesday night. They feel
that keeping tho filing of tho appeal secret
until after tho meeting places them In a
somewhat falso position nnd they question
tho right of tho county superintendent to
enter into such a "conspiracy," ns they des
ignate It. Admitting that it was not until
lato Saturday that tho appeal was fllod, tho
members of tho board say that thoy nt least
should havo been notified Monday by tho
county superintendent, nnd not havo been
allowed to hold u meeting while In tho dark
ns to tho fact thnt an appeal from their
former action had been taken.
Tho board will meet tonight for tho spe
cific purpose of taking somo nctlon In tho
High school slto matter. Somo of tho
momhers aro in favor of now holectlng tho
Street slto on Fifth nvenuo between Dluff
and Third streets. This again Is opposed
ny others who beliovo that tho selection of
tho Turloy and Folsom properties at tho
head of Willow nvenuo wl'l holvo tho ques
tion nnu do satisfactory to all.
A now filto was suggested yesterdav hv
Member Macrae. It Is tho property lylnc
duo west of tho old Rink barn on Pearl
btreet nnd facing on Fifth avenue, directly
opposuo the county court houso. Dr.
Macrao said ho had been Informed thnt n
frontage on tho nvenuo of somo 220 feet or
moro could bo secured, but at wba; prlco ho
was unablo to say.
Member Swnlne, who, with other members
of tho board, still believes that tho Oak
land nvenuo slto Is tho only logical location
for tho now High school, says now that that
slto Is out of tho question. Ho will not voto
tor any other location than that of tho old
High school grounds. Ho says that at least
one other member will voto with him.
At ornoy Chambers, who annealed from
tho selection of tho old High school slto.
said yesterday that tho cholco of tho Turley
nnd Folsom properties at tho head of Wil
low nvenuo would bo perfectly satisfactory
iu nun aim no nclloved tho board could not
do better now than decido to erect tho new
school bulldlni: there.
SlrMt Supervisor's Cusp.
Alderman Hubcr, chairman of tho streets
and alleys committee, ordered Street Su
pervisor Harden yesterday morning to lay
off all tho men In his employ until such
time as tho council has taken nctlon on
tho complnints ngulnst him. Harden com
piled with tho order so far as the men em
ployed on tho streot cleaning gang wore
concerned, but refused to lay off tho sldo-
walk Inspector nnd his men, as thero aro
a number of wnlks thnt uecded attention.
btreet Supervisor Harden stated yes
terday that thero Is no foundation for
tho complaint that ho Is squandering thu
city's money. As to tho chargo that ho
Is employing n largo number of his rela
tives and friends on tho city work, ho ad
mitted this Is true, but claimed that ho
had a perfect right to do so. As to tho
work In Juno, nbout which Aldorman
Hubor complains, Harden says that this
work was dono under the supervision of
tho chairman of tho stroots and alloys
commltteo. Ho says thnt Aloernian Hubor
has a man of his own whom ho wishes to
put in ns street suporvlBor and for this
reason has started tho agitation against
him.
At tho sccrot session of tho council
Wednesday night, when but flvo aldermen
wero present, tho matter was discussed,
but action deferred until noxt Monday
evening, when tho matter will be brought
up In a meeting of tho commltteo of the
whole to bo held prior to tho regular
council meeting,
Teli'Kriini fioni llnrk liniimi,
Ernest E. Hart, national republican com
mitteeman from Iowa, denies that ho re
ceived a telegram from Hon. Mark Hannn
yesterday asking him to ship by fast ex
press 1,000 Tommy Griffin cigars for cam
paign purposes. Tbo Tommy Griffin is too
good a cigar to uso for campaign purposes,
but is appreciated by tho private citizen
who realizes that a Tommy Griflln gives
him a better smoke than most 10 cent el
gars. Sixty-nine retailors In Council niuffs
as well as many thousand consumers can
testify to Its good qualities. Ask. your

In All In.
NEW LONDON, Mo., July 26. In tho
trial of Alexander Jester, charged with
the murder of Ollbcrt Gates, William
Shrewsbury, who testified to seeing the
deud man's body In Jetscr's wagon In
Ruler's lune, wns again tinder lire today
from tho defonso In an effort to Impeach
his testimony. Thrco witnesses from his
home town In Arkansas swore to his good
reputation,
Roth sides hnvo rested the caso nnd
while Judgo Eby prepares tho instruc
tions to tho Jury tho lawyers are prepar
ing for tho supreme conflict of this grent
legal battle. The argument begins tomor
row morning.
When both sides rested the nged pris
oner said: "I nm glad tho ordeal Is over
I forgive ovcry ono who hns testified
against me. Their consciences nnd their
words nro in tho hands of their God nnd
with him they must settle. I nm Inno
cent of tho killing of that poor boy, Git
bcrt Gates, nnd beliovo In tlmo ho will
be found nllvo nnd well. I expect to re
turn to my Oklahoma homo In tlmo to
preach noxt Sunday week."
Omar Webb, a druggist of Jasper, Mo.,
was tho first witness.
"Do you know W. S. Shrewsbury?" asked
Attorney Cullcn, Jester s chief counsel.
"Ves, sir."
"What Is his reputntlon for truth and
morality?"
"It Is bad," replied the witness.
On cross-examination Webb ndmltted that
ho (Webb) put up prescriptions without bo
Ing a teglotercd pharmacist.
Tho next witness was W. H. Ward. He
resided on a farm near Jasper and was ac
quainted with W. S. Shrewsbury. Ho testl
fled that his reputation for truth and moral
Ity was not very sood. His testimony was
unshaken on crom-examtnatlon by ForreBt.
At this point tho defenso asked tho court
for the prlvllego of reading a portion of tho
testimony of A. A. Gates beforo tho Justice
of tbo pence at Paris, Mo., on May 0, 181,
Thero wns no objection nnd Mr. Cullcn read
tho portion which related to A. A. Gates
finding a portion of his eon's trunk nt Jcs
tor'o homo In Kansas.
Some of tho witnesses for tho stato swore
they saw Jester burn this trunk while on-
route to Kansas on his return from Indiana
The defenso also read from this long-ago
testimony of Mr. Oaten where ho swore that
he wroto for Gilbert to. sell bis team and
come homo nnd not to let uuy ono know he
had tho money. Mr. Forrest nskod tho court
for tho privilege of reading tho wholo tcstl
mong of Mr. Gntes nnd It was granted.
Tho last witness for tho defenso was Dr.
C. H. Grave of Center, Mo., who gave expert
testimony on floating bodies. This ques
Hon wno put to tho physician by Attornoy
Allison:
"Suppose n person dies or Is killed on
Janunry 25, 1871, when Ihera la eighteen
Inches nf snow on tho ground nnd It remains
until February 1 of that year, then goes
off with a ralq, which tenses the creek to
rlso nnd tho Ico to go out with tho water,
would that body float under such condi
tions?"
Thin question wns objected to by the
state, but tho Judgo overruled tho objec
lion nnd tho witness replied that n body
would not float under such temperature.
as decomposition could not have art In. On
croBS-cxnmlnntlon Dr. Graves said that
somo bodies would float In nno day. It
depended on tho gases caused by decom
position. When tho last question wns
asked and answered by Dr. Graves, Attor
ney Allison stated that tho defenso rested
Its ensc.
Tho stato Immediately put on testl-
mony In rebuttal to prove that W. S,
Shrowsbury'B reputation wns good. The
first witness was Park Crutcher of Van
Ruren, Ark., whero Shrowsbury resides.
Ho sworo thnt Shrewsbury's reputation at
home was good. On cross-examination tho
witness admitted that ho had received $150
from detectives with which to get wit
nesses, to testify to Shrewsbury's good
reputation. Frank Warren, Van nuren.
Ark., testified that ho know Shrewsbury and
his reputation wns good. Ho hnd heard
his reputation discussed and ho bolloved
Shrewsbury was honest. H. S. Fitzhugh,
also of Van Ruren. Ark., who 13 Btnto sena
tor, sworo that ho knew Shrowsbury and
his reputntlon was good. Ho associated
with Shrewsbury In a business way.
When court convened this afternoon Judgo
Eby was informed that all tho evldenco In
the caso was beforo tho Jury. Ho told tho
attorneys ho would allow each sldo sixteen
hours In which to arguo tho case. This will
bo two days to each side, as court holds
eight hours a day. Tho enso will probably
go to tho Jury next Tuesday evening. Court
then adjourned until tomorrow morning.
