James Arthur on trial for the second time In district court for alleged complicity in the attempt to blow the safe of the Treynor bank on the night of January 6, 1906. must, according to the evidence Introduced yes terday by the state and the defense have a double. John. Nelson, who was jailor in Colorado Springs In June, 190C, testified that to the best of Ms belief Arthur was In jail there at that time on the charge of robbing a bank. On the other hand W. W. Young, an attorney of Stanton, Neb., and former state senator from there, and G. A. Eberly, prosecuting attorney of Stanton county, both swore that Arthur was in the Stanton county Jail at that time await ing the action of the grand Jury on a charge of burglary, which waa later polled. The state expected to show by Jailer Nelson's testimony that Arthur and Bern stein were arrested together In Colorado Bprlngs In June, 1902, In refutation of the (ormer testimony of Bernstein that he had never met Arthur until the morning fol lowing the attempted robbery of the Trey nor bank. Jailer Nelson, while poeltve of his Identification of Bernstein, who was brought Into court, waa not so sure about his identification of Arthur, although he expressed hie strong bellcT that Arthur was the same man arrested In Colorado Springs under the name of George Mathews while Bernstein then went under the name of J. J. Rogers. He Identified photographs of the two men taken while In jail In Col orado Springs, but the photographs were not offered In evidence. Detectives J. T. Dunn,. J. T. Donahue and Henry Heltfeld of the Omaha police, testified to Arthur and Bernateln being ar rested together as vagrants in Omaha dur ing the latter part of December, 1904. Robert McKenxle, Arthur Baar, Albert Lin burg, William Loringer and 'Marshal C. F. Shreve testified to arresting Arthur and Bernstein the morning following the at tempt on the bank, about six miles from the city as the two were making their way to Council Bluffs. Sheriff Canning and Deputy Woolman Identified the revolvers and other articles taken from Arthur and Bernstein after their capture. Henry Gerber, a barber at Mlnden, testified to shaving Arthur and Bemafein or two men closely resembling them a day or two before tbe Treynor crime. The first witness for the defense wss Mrs. Agnes Knapp, who conducts a rooming house In Omaha. She testified that Arthur and a woman known as his wife occupied a room at her place from November 1, 1904, to January 1, 1905. The main point of her testimony was that while In her,, house Arthur was clean shaven, whereas when he was arretted he had a moustache. The other two witnesses Introduced by the defense yesterday afternoon were W. W. Toung and O. A. Eberly of Stanton, Neb. It Is understood the defense expects to establish an alibi. Water Work Hearlaar Friday. The hearing on th application of George N. Smalley, i.n eastern stockholder of the Council Bluffs City Waterworks company. for au injunction restraining the city coun cil'from enforcing the ordinance providing for a reduced schedule of water rates, will be heard before Judge Smith McPher- on In this city Friday Instead of at Daven port.

The wealth which is being created by the cupper mines of th United States and Mexico Is making thousands of men and Women throughout the United State pros perous. Although the richest men In th country are heavy holder of copper stocks. they have no monopoly on th dividends which th copper mine ar paying. In the manufacturing and farming district of New England, In the cities, towns and rural districts of the central and southern portions of the United States, and In th mining regions of th west are men and women In all th various walks of life who are receiving the dividends which the cop per mine are paying. It is one of the gratifying features of the great mining industry that no man or group of men ha yet or will ever be(ble to secure control of It. From Its very nature it cannot be monopolised. One can't help wondering what I don with nil this billion pounds of copper that Is yearly consumed In the United State. Partly responsible for the growing us of copper Is the enormous extension of th trolley and telephone systems of the coun try.. The telephone Is, undoubtedly, the largest single user of copper today. In the heavy, toll lines, In the lighter equipment for local service, and In the tiny filament In the cables, which constitute half the mileage of the Bell system, there are more than 6.0(0.000 miles. . Think of It! On of tm? 10iooo-llne switchboards In one of the big telephone center uses In Its Intricate apparatus alone 4,000 miles of wireenough to reach from St. Louts to Liverpool.
