AVer Returned Over

The federal grand jury was ate In get
tinjc together Monday afternoon after it
Friday adjournment, owing to belated
tralnH. The first witnesses In the Beef
trust eases were called about 3 o'clock.
The witnesses were John Fltz Roberta,
"XVIII H. Wood, Ed Cahow, W. U. Jones,
6. D. Acker and John Frederick, all com
mission men of South Omaha.
The nature of the testimony to be gleaned
from these witnesses was to show. If pos
sible, the existence or nonexistence of a
Combination between the packers and com
mission men In order to keep down the
prevailing low prices of live stock.
None of the witnesses was In the sweat
box to exceed ten minutes and each ob
served the strictest reticence when dis
missed from the jury room. One of the
witnesses volunteered the observation:
"I have nothing" to say as to the sub
ject of my questioning while In the jury
room, even If we were not admonished
from divulging anything that Is said or
done In there. The Jurors and the dis

any combination between the packers and
commission men, it Is all news to me and
In the actual nature of things such a com
bination could not exist."
The Investigation will be resumed this
morning. New witnesses are being sum
moned. Some of these will come from
Beatrice, Odell and other points and will
include a number of shippers and butchers
who have had more or less dealings with
the packers In times past.
The investigation certainly will continue
all this wek. and it is the opinion of the
district attorney that the Investigations
may run over Into the latter part of next
week. At all events he has asked the
gr.ind jury to defer Its usual Saturday re
cess in order that the Investigations may
be proceeded with uninterruptedly.
Land Feoelna- Caaea.
Deputy United Slates District Attorney
B. R. Rush has had an office fitted up for
him in the room formerly occupied by the
assistant custodian of the federal building
on the second floor o.that structure. He
Is busily engaged In getting the land
fencing cases ready for trial. Subpoenas
are being prepared for witnesses and
among them will be a number of special
agents of the general land department
who were instrumental In bringing about
the indictments In 1903. In addition to
these many homesteaders and small cattle
men will be summoned to tell what they
know about the appropriation of the public
domain by the big cattlemen.
Mr. Rush, who, as former assistant
United States district attorney has had
much to do with bringing the Indictments
against the cattlemen, and who has charge
of the present prosecutions, said Monday
evening: "We cannot get ready for the trials of
these cases until the latter part of the
month. The first case to be tried will be
that of Herman and John Krause, who
are Indicted with Illegally enclosing about
o.nno acres of land some twelve miles or
more northwest of Alliance. Their case
will be called about l;iy 29. We cannot
reach it before that time on account of the
jury being engaged In the trials on the
civil ducket, and it is Judge Munger's wish
to clear the civil docket bv.fore going at
the criminal docket. All of the fourteen
or fifteen Indictments against cattlemen
are criminal cases and will be tried as
such. If we cannot reach them by criminal
procedure we will go at them by civil pro
cedure. After we get through with the
Krause cases we will take up the Bartlett
Richards and Comstock cases."

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which helps the digestion of food in the
stomach, assists the blood in taking np the
f roper elements from the food, helps the
ivcr into activity, thereby throwing out
tho poisons in the blood and vitalizing the
whole system. This assimilstion helps in
the oxidation of the red blood corpuscles,
the poisons in the system are eliminated,
the heart gets the right kind of blood and
the person feels invigorated and stronger
in consequence. As a tissue builder it is
far preferable to cod liver oil or any alco

the blood and the tissues the food element
they require and maintains a person

HOYE ONLY ONE READY TO ACT
Other Counpllmen Want to Defer Mat
ter of Redlatrlrtlna; City Into
Twelve Wards.
Councilman Hoye brought up the matter
of redisricting the city Into twelve wards
at the general committee session of the
council Monday afternoon, but the other
members did not seem ready to act upon
It. Hoye pointed out that time within
which the three wards musi be created is
growing short and said that an ordinance
making a start on the deal must be Intro
duced at the council meeting tonight. It
was decided to have Councilmen Nicholson
and Zimman arrange for a blank ordinance
to be drawn up so that the new boundary
lines can be Inserted by amendment after
the councilmen have had a full conference
on the subject later In the week.
John R. Webster and other representa
tives of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal
company appeared before the council
urging that the right be given the company
to lay ns many as six switching tracks
across Chicago street between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets and the alley north.
Inasmuch as the council had refused to
vacate the street altogether. It was as
serted that it would be necessary to cross
the street on a grade three feet above
the present surface In order to lay the
tracks properly. The company proposed to
grade up the approaches to the tracks
satisfactorily to the city engineering de
partment. Only one track Is to be laid and
used at once, this being for a new cont
yard and feed mill which M. L. Carlisle of
the Weir City Coal company Is going to
establish on Terminal company property at
Eleventh and Davenport streets. The mill
will grind corn and will have a rapacity of
about sTiri bushels a day.
All the councilmen were willing to con
cede one track, but some thought authority
to lay six tracks! some of which may not
go down for a long time. Is too much to
give t the present time. Mr. Webster aald
the company would not want to go to the
heavy expense of grading for the crossings
over the tracks unless It was assured that
at least six trecks would be allowed so that
switching facilities might be provided to
varied Industries that the company Is try
ing to locate The matter was left in a
somewhat unsettled state.
PLANS GOOD AS MADE NOW
r. E. ller aya Arrangements for l-teen-Story
F.ichanne Balld.
Ing Are Nearly Done.
"Arrangements to construct the proposed
sixteen-story railway exchange building at
the southwest corner of Thirteenth and
Farnam streets look to me as good as set
tled." said P. E. Her. "The thing Is all
agreed upon verbally, but Is not yet In
black and white. Unless unforeseen diffi
culties rise, this large office building will
be put up for most of the railroads entering
Omaha, and some that do not. but main
tain offices here. I shall go east tn Chi
cago. New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore
and possibly Boston the latter part of this
week, to remain a month or more, for the
purpose of milking the final contract in
volving the financing of the new buildlnp.
I have every reason to believe that when
I return full Information can be given to
the public to show that the railway ex
change building Is going to be a reality."
The council. In general committee session
yesterday afternoon, agreed to vacate a
small part of Pine street at Second street
so that it can be purchased by Mr. Her.
This, the latter says, means that the Hol
land Radiator company will establish a
foundry on the location, Inasmuch as
enough ground will be provided with the
