KIXIXH O.V THIS nOYLB-BlRSS CASE
Trial of Action Set for March 7 In
District Conrt.
Judge A. B. Thornell, who spent last
week at his home In Sidney In order that
he might have tlmo to consider a number
of equity cases which he had taken under
advisement, will reconvene district court
today. The assignment of law actions,
which had been postponed one week, will
be taken up today and the petit Jury Im
paneled. Before taking up the law docket Judge
Thornell Is expected to hand down several

In the matter of the defendant to have
the famous mining suit of James Doyle
against James F. Burns, president of the
Portland Gold ' Mining company of Colo
rado, transferred from the law to the
equity docket. In cither event, whether
the case Is tried as an equity or a law
action, It will be tried March 7, that date
having finally been agreed upon by counsel
for both sides.
The first case on the law assignment
set for today Is the trial of Frank R. I!oa
man, former manager of the Equitable'
Home association In this city, who was In
dicted on a charge of conducting a build
ing and loan business In this state without
the required certificate from the state. Bea
man Is out on $f00 bail. Attorney J. B.
Sweet of this city being the surety on the
bond. County Attorney Hess has given the
defense notice that he will Introduce Hon.
B. F. Carroll, state auditor, as a witness
to prove that the Equltablo Home associa
tion never held a license to do business in
Iowa. The necessity of bringing Mr. Car
roll here, however, may be obviated by
the defense agreeing to admit the facts to
which Mr. Carroll would testify. Mr. Hess
stated yesterday that he had not been ad
vised whether Beaman Intended to appear
here for trial or not.
County Attorney Hess has decided to
reconvene the grand jury Monday, Febru

which otherwise would have to wait until
the next term of court, which would not be
until March 14. The trial of the defendants

Mr. Hess stated, would not be begun be
'ore the latter part of February. There

Favors lllennlal Amendment.
Senator C. J. A. Krlcson of Boone la In
tho city to make his report as chairman of
the dairy and apiary committee of the
Iowa Ixiulslana Purchase exposition. He
declares that tne efforts in Story county
to test the biennial elections amendment
are groundless and will not stand the test.
"The people of the state have twice voted
In favor of the amendment," said Senator
Krlcson, "and I expect to see It stand. The
question of changing a polling place In
Story county la not sufficient to make a test
case of the biennial election law on. It
will make no difference to the law whether
the polling place Is changed or not. But
even If the question does got Into the
courts, which now seems to me unlikely, I
believe the amendment will stand the test
of the supreme court."
fleard Denies Responsibility.
J. T. Beard of the correspondence school,
whose students failed In the examination
before the State Board of. Examiners for
Mine Inspectors, has written to Governor
Cummins denying responsibility In the mat
ter and stating that the candidal. who
failed made improper use of a private let
ter which he had written. He says they en
tirely mlsundt rstood his position, and that
there was no warrant for bringing his name
Into the matter at all. The statement In
Mr. Beard's letter to one of the men who
failed was that his marking should have
been very much higher. In arriving at his
decision sustaining the board against the
charges of fraud In the examination, Gov
ernor Cummins went over the examination
papers with J. W. Baker, the present en
gineer of the board, who was not a mem
ber at the time of the examination. The
governor found that the candidates for
mine Inspector had been given too high
markings In almost every Instance Instead
of too low and therefore thoroughly ex
onerated the board.
Go Over Census Work,
The executive council Saturday went over
the census work of a number of townships
as It had been sent In and determined on
the questions for which cards would be re
turned If filled Incorrectly. Additional sug
gestions from Prof. Patterson of the State
university were received. The council found
tho cards as returned so far very satisfac
tory. Expect Home's Appointment.
Although Captain W. H. Thrift denied
positively Saturday night that he had
made an appointment of assistant adjutant
general. It Is coming to be believed that
he will reappoint Major J. T. Hume. Cap
tain Thrift is In Dubuque, but will return
to Des Moines Tuesday and take up his
new duties. It devclopes that since he
came to Des Moines every mall has been
flooded with requests for the reappointment
of Major Hume. It Is reported that Cap
tain J. E. Whipple of Vinton was promised
the place of assistant on the agreement that
he would withdraw from the race for ad
jutant. Now It develops that the requests
for the appointment of Hume are so nu
merous and strong that Captain Thrift flnda
It very embarrassing to appoint Whipple
and Is putting off the evil day as long as
possible. It Is believed when the appoint
ment is made It will be Hume. It is ex
pected there will be no changes for a few
weeks and that then the other clerks In
the office will not be retained.
State Board of Health.
The next meeting of the State Board of
Health will be held Monday and Tuesday,
January 30 and 31, at the office of the board
In the state house. It la expected that on

SOUTH DAKOTA SOLDIERS HOME
President of the Board lasses a State,
mrnt Explaining? Chances la
Proposed Law,
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., .n. 29. (Special.)
T. M. Shanafelt, president of the State
Soldiers' Home board, and Thomas M.
Goddard commandant of the State Sol
diers' Home at Hot Springs, have given
out for publication a statement In refer
ence to the protests made by old soldiers
throughout the state against a bill which
Is now pending In the state legislature
and which seeks in a measure to take pen
sions from old veterans who are admitted
to the soldiers' home.
Joe Hooker Post, Grand Army of the
Republic of this city, and several other
posts in the state, have recently adopted
resolution condemning the provisions of
the bill nnd calling upon friends of the
old veterans to defeat It when It comes
up for action lh the legislature.
Dr. Shanafelt and Commandant Ood
dard state that if the bill Is not enacted
Into law the state will lose between 115,
000 and 120.000 each year. They believe
the opposition of the oid soldiers Is due to
the fact that they were unaware of the
reason why such legislation is necessary.
The president of the board and com
mandant of the soldiers' home call atten
tion to the fact that an act of congress
approved April 28 IHH, compels the state
to have such legislation enacted. The
I'nited States government pay to each
state and territory which maintains a
soldiers' home the sum of lino per annum
for every soldier It maintains In such
home, provided it compiles with an act
of congress approved March !, 1S.13.
This law requires a pensioner who be
comes an Inmate of a soldiers' home to
surrender his pension, when will be held
In trust for him. or transferred to his
wife, child r parent If he has such, upon
a wr.itcn direction from the penionr.

TWO MEN SCALDED TO DEATH
Attendants nt Rnsslnn Bath House
Place Them In Steam Room
and Forget Them.
NEW YORK, Jan .-Shut In the steam
room of a Russian bath house In Hester
street two young men were pealded to death
before their plight was realized by the at
tendants. Evidence that both had made
frenzied efforts to attract attention was af
forded by cuts and bruises on both the
bodies and by blood-stained scratches In
the plaster of the walls against which they
had groped In their efforts to find an outlet.
The victims were Abraham Pasternak and
Peter Roos, both tailors, living In Norfolk
street.
Abraham Stern, the proprietor of the bath
house, and five of the attendants were ar
rested and held pending an Investigation.
From Incoherent accounts the police
gathered that Roos and Pasternak entered
the bath last night and after being con
ducted Into the steam rcom were left there
and were evidently forgotten until their
bodies were found today. There was a gas
Jet In the room, but It was unllghted, and
in the darkness the men were unable to find
the door.
Rail era y I mier Water.
A novel amusement device has recently
been devised by a Yankee Inventor. It
consists of a boat-shaped car adapted to
run down a steep track into and through a
body of water with such speed that the
hovel nose at the front of the car will
throw the water clear over the car without
permitting it to come into contact with tho
occupants. .
To prevent derailment of the car It is
provided with double concentric wheels.
The larger one travels on the lower rails
and the smaller ones on the under side of
the guide roils above and parallel to the
lower rail.
The patent from which our Information Is
taken gives no data as to the possible
speed of the car or the tremendous amount
of work It will have to perform In lifting
the large volume of water over Itself.

MANY VACANCIES ON THE IALL TEAM
Captain Render Will Start for Ills
Long Trip with llalf-a-Iosea
.New Men la Ills Play
Ins; line.
LINCOLN. Jsn. . Rperlal. (-Preparations
for the spring campaign of base ball
nnd outdoor track athletics at the Univer
sity of Nebraska have been ushered In by
the announcement by Physical Director
flapp that Imloor practice will begin by
both snus'Is In the gymnasium during the
present week. The Interest In base ball
slightly overshadows that of track athletics,
this situation being chiefly due to the fact
that there are fully a half doten vacant
places on the base ball team, and the
rivalry promises to be unusually keen
ernong the long list of candidates that
Captain Ilender wl!l marshal on the field.
For the pnM several seasons the Corn
h'iskers have tsken a long two weeks' fuse
hull trip, playing most of the Important
co'lee teams In the middle states, and a
place on the base ball team Is viewed by the
csndldates as a decided snap as well as an
athletic honor.
Except for one season the Cornhuskere
have been unusually successful during the
pnst four years, winning more than three
fourths of their collegiate games earn year.
The outlook for however, Is not as
roseate as Captain Ilender would like to
have It. Of the winning sggregatlon of
19H Pitcher Adsms. First Raseman Town
send, Second Rasemsn Hammel, Third
Rnsemsn fifeen, Shortstop Wllllsms and
Outfielder Miller will not be In the lineup.
Prnctlcslly every one of the absentees was
a colleHte star, and In filling their places
Captain Pender faces a formidable task.
One Good Mattery.
Morse, the crack pitcher of last year,
w-lll again be the mainstay In the box and
with Captain Render will form the battery
upon which the bulk of the work will fall.
As a base ball performer Render Is as
much of a star as on the gridiron, his
prowess on the diamond being attested
to by his engagement by Manager IwHe
Gear, of the Little Rock team In the South
ern league after the season has closed
at the University of Nebraska. Morse's
twirling Is on a par with that of Render's
backatopplng and the two constitute the
most prolific battery that Nebraska has
ever presented. Fenlon and Cook, both out
fielders, are the only other veterans who
will be In the lineup. There Is a host of
new men, however, and several of them
have attained fame In amateur circles out
In the state, sufficient at least to warrant
Captain Render In the prediction that the
Cornhuskers should render a good account
of themselves.
Manager Allen haa not completed the
casting of the schedule for the two weeks'
eastern tour, but he has announced that It
will Include games with Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Chicago, Michigan and Notre
Dame universities. Other teams will be
taken on to fill In, but they will be
the smaller and less formidable college
aggregations.
The track program Includes a meet with
Minnesota university In Minneapolis and
one with Colorado university In Lincoln.
Mortis Renedlct, foot ball captain last sea
son and a member of the track team for
the past two seasons, has decided to aban
don track work this year and will appear
as a candidate for base eaU honor,
Basket Ball Triumph.
The basket ball season at Nebraska has
proven highly successful. The principal
achlcvment was the double defeat' admin
istered last week ln Minneapolis to the
crack five representing Minnesota uni
versity. The Gophers had not been beaten
on their own barn door for seven seasons,
Yale, Wisconsin and other strong aggrega
tions being worsted by the Mlnnesotans.
This year the Gophers presented a veteran
team, but the Cornhuskers beat them In
two successive games. Besides triumphing
over the Mlnnesotans, the Cornhuskers
played four other games on their trip and
were victorious In all of them. The return
of the Nebraskana to Lincoln was the sig
nal for a noisy reception In their honor by
the students.
