Fer a trial In which the charge ta murder

Jadge Banter.
j . ...
Attotxey J. W. Eller has taken pains
not to tell It himself, but It hss leaked out
that Judge Irving F. fcaxttr of the district
court cava lira a sevtre jolt when he ap
plied last Saturday (or a preliminary writ
ot mandamus compelling tba council and
mayor to pay Samuel I. Oordon'a salary
as police Judge of Omaha for the month of
January, 1902.
Tha judge told Mr. Eller that his appllca
tlon might look all right on paper, but
that the court had a perfect light to and
did take judicial notice ot tha facta that
Gordon had submitted himself as a candi
date for the office of police Judge at the
last election, that he had been defeated
that his opponent. Judge Berka, had been
elected, bad duly qualified and waa now
serving aa aucb magistrate. Judge Baxter
further cited for Eller's benefit tha fact
that Gordon, by submitting himself for
election to the office, had conceded tha va
cancy In the office and that be could not
now ratse the point that the office was not
vacant.
Attorneya who have learned of tha an
awer tha judge gave to Eller have ap
plauded among themselves, for . they say
that heretofore It haa seamed possible for
anybody to get almost any klad of a re
atralnfng order, injunction or mandamus
algned 'upon Ita mere presentation and
without recognition by tha court ot any et
tha circumstances ot tha case.
Amusements.
At the Boy
Walker Whiteside, who comes, annually
to Omaha, opeaed bla engagement at the
Boyd with a matinee performance Wednes
day ot J. U. Pengrew's romaatlo comedy
drama, ."Heart and Sword." The piece Is
not a new so, Mr. Whiteside having pre
sented It here during two ot his previous
visits. It .possesses sufficient merit to be
acceptable again and two audiences, both
of generous prdportlons, saw it Wednesday.
It la of tha. Anthony Hope type, with
princes, princesses, prime ministers' and
ether royal personages of principalities of
tha Rurltanla class as figures. The author
tanglea and untanglea bis characters In trus
melo-dramatlc style and many ot the Inci
dents furnish no small amount of excite
ment. There are fewer hairbreadth escapes
and fewer so-called "gun plays" than are
to be found In tha ordinary "thrtUer," .but
enough to furnish for the audience plenty et
excitement. Few actors are capable of play'
Ing a romantic role one night and rising
successfully to the height of the Shakes
pereaa tragedy the pext, Mr. Whltealde Is
one of them, and no matter whether It be
as the negligent but handsome Prince Tic-
tor of Helnhault or the crafty Shylock of
Venice, he la equally capable. Whiteside's
mannerisms at times lead one te believe
that the actor Is not without a certain
amount of eelf-cOnaclousnets of. ability or
perhapa even a trifle egotistical. Few actors
are not afflicted more or less with this ail
ment and It la perhapa not altogether fair
to criticise Mr. Whiteside upon this point.
His company this season Is one of the best
he baa ever had la his support, while the
production he gives bla pieces la quite
satisfactory, although, of course, not elabo
rate. Tonight he will be seen "in Shake
spear'a "Merchant ot Venice,"- with which
he cloees his engagement. .

At the meeting of the Retail Orocers' as
sociation yesterday the members took
steps to units with the commission mer
chants and gardeners to secure a msrket
place In the neighborhood ef the commis
sion district. A committee waa appointed
to confer with ilka committees from tbs
commission exchange and the gardeners
and te report some time this week upon the
success of the attempt' to locate a market
place near tha present site. '
Speaking ot the Capitol aveaua site,
members said that It would entail double
expense npon all dealers In fruit and vege
tables, as they would need two buyers and
two. delivery wagons plying between the
markets, one to visit the local market and
saother te go to the commission houses.
because purchases srs made at the same
time while 'the goods are fresh and atocks
are full In the morning..
Prepoae tatted Lease.
It has been suggested by the commission
men and gardeners that they unite In leas
ing soma building near the present sits et
the market and renting stalls to those who
desire to sell to the retail dealers. The
building owned by Dr. S. D. Mercer and re
cently vacated by David Cole has been sug
gested as a site. It Is largs enough to ac
commodate several stalls and the location
Is In the heart of the commission district.
If a building Is secured the stalls will be
put up at auction and it is believed that
sufficient money can be secured to pay all
expenses attending tbs management of the
house. ,
If this plan falls it Is stated that several
of the largeat dealers will sell entirely
from their wagons to retail dealers, making
delivery at the different houses.
The question of rate cutting was dis
cussed at length at the meeting and It waa
decided to consider some plan which would
result In maintaining prices en stsple arti
