The first day of t!ie trial of S. E. H'w-ll.
president of the Conl exchange, charged j
wlh vlolutlon of the state trust laws I
closed with a Jury still i.nseleclcd. Thn
examination of the Juror is pr if. ding
lowly, not because a large nunnier have I
beri exumlned, hut because they me be
ing questioned closely ns to their prcjn
dice and their social and l-ii-..iie re
lationships with the ih fenrhinis. At the
close of yesterday's session less than ,
twenty Jurors had been exmn.i en an..
Of these six had been excused Cur ..i.c-.-
Judge Sutton excused IVIt Ela.s.icr, I
Jr., a nephew of (1. Fred lllasser, one. of i
the co-dulindanta of Mr. Howell, the de-j
fendunt's attorneys making mrniuuu oh-
Jectloti to Ills leaving the box. j
.The only features of the examination )
Jurors was a threatened lash between :
the court and W. J. Council, ntturiicy fur I
the defense. Doth times, however, Itea.ed i
words were 'avoided. During" the entm
afternoon there was apparently a Hhidie..
attempt to prevent a display of temper
on the part of the attorneys. Twue Mr
Connell obJeetel to language used uy the
court to Jurors.
The first Incident came during the ex
amination of a witness who Bald he had
had some business relations with soi-.e of
the defendants and he was not sure
whether It would affect his business or
not If he should return a vcrdh.t of
eullty. County Attorney Slabaugh ex
imlned him closely and Mr. Cnnncl ob
1 eled to one of the questions.
"This witness Is In a delicate posi-i-.n,"
said Judge Sutton, "and I think the
.unty attorney has a right to the lull
nets."
Mr. Stout renewed objections to the
cation and Mr, Connell Jumped to h:
et.
Objects to I.snansu-e of Court.
"I object and take exceptions to the
'tteinent of tho court that thl3 witness
.. In a delicate situation or that he is In
different position from any other
-Now' Mr. Connell," said Judge Sutton,
hurply, in oruer umi mere may or no
lash between you and ma I wish thai you
would decide whether you or Mr. hiout
ill make objections, and not both of
you." .
Mr. Connelh said he would make the ob
jections himself If the court conllned that
right to only one of them. A few minutes
later. whan.-wrangle occurred between
the attorneys. Judge Sutton admonished .
the Jury to pay no attention to "side re- ,
marks" addressed by the attorneys to each
ather or to the court. He said these re
marks were for the attorneys and the
ourt alone and the Jurors should pay no
attention to them. Mr. Connell again ob
,ected to the action of the court and took
formal exceptions. When the examination
f Juror Elsasser wus resumed Judge Sut
on asked thn witness several questions as
o the discussion of the coal trust lndlct
.nenta In the family. Mr. Connell objected
again to the action of the court, Insisting
he court was helping out the county at
torney. Judge Sutton excused Mr. El
susaer. When Mr. Connell began to examine the
Jurors for the defense he started to read
some newspaper headlines Intimating
County Attorney Slabaugh was prose
cuting the coal men for failure to
support him In the last campaign. Judge
Hutt'n stopped him and ruled the news
paper should not be read before the Jur.
"Have you any feeling or Idea in your
mind that the Omaha Coal exchange Is
mi octopus?" was one of the questions
aaxed of Jurors by Mr. Connell.
Grind Hewlna with rn Panel.
The grind of selecting a Jury to try the
trust case against S. E. Howell, president
of li e Uiiianu Coal exenange, began Mon
uay morning before Judge Sutton, with a
hi.. nd new panel to ).c,( trom. The work
was slow and ut the n .an adjournment the !
'Hi ate hud examined cigni i f the twelve men j
w ho were called first to the Jury box.
One of Hie first men cahed to the Jury
Ixix was i'cter Elsusser, Jr., son of Cnun- 1
cilinan i.lsawcr and nephew of O. Fred
tisus rr, who is Jointly Indicted with Mr.
Howell. When he was readied In the ex
amination of Jurors the fir I squabble be
tween the lawyers developed. Mr. Elsasser
said the fat t he was 4 relative of one of
the ilelemlantu would make no diltcrence
In the veidiel lie would return. He said he
could treat tile case In Jut ns fair a way
us If his uncle were: not Interested In It.
County Atturney Shihaugh challenged . him
for cause and the defense resisted the chal
lenge. County Attorney Sliibaiigh pointed
to a section in tile statute providing 11 Ih a
cause for ehahengi if the Juror is related
within the third ih si--e to anyone charged
with crime or "Iuivinp a suit pending in
court." After a short discussion us to the
cimsti uctlon of this passage the matter was
passed until the alternoon sebsion and the
.1 initiation proceeded.
The Jury panel from which the jurors
must be selected contains the mimes of
several prominent piople. Among these are
N. P. Douge and S. C. Barnes ot the
Douglas county legist itlvc delegation. The
usual number of applications for excuses
from Jury service were received by the
court, but owing to the Importance of the
case Judge Sutton declined to excuse any
one except for a statutory or u very un
usual reason. He charged tho Jurors who
are not selected to hear the cusp not to re
main In the court room while testimony Is
being taken, as that would disqualify them
from sitting on any of the other cases lo
follow this one. He also warned thetn not
to discuss the case or allow anyone to ap
proach them about It.

LINCOLN, Dee. 3.-(.-tpeclal.) The report
of Treasurer Mortensen for the month of
November shows a balance on hand In all .
funds of S-131.9W.46 nt the end of the month,
as against S2x.72r.36 at the beginning of the
month. The trust funds are ail Invested
$xcept about 110,000. Of this sum Ss.&34.23
!s In the permanent school fund, but this
morning Tennessee bonds to the amount
of S!0 0o were received by the treasurer,
but too late to become a part of the No
vember business. The Hmporary school
fund contains 1248,546. This money, with
what comes In today and tomorrow, will
be certified to the state superintendent to
be apportioned out to the various school
districts of the state tomorrow. It Is
thought by Treisurer Morten.'en the sum
will reach 320.000 before the apportion
ment Is made. Last year the December
apportionment amounted to 12K1.000. Th5
rod-motion fund at this time contains only
SS5.65, but during the time since the Sheldon
law became operative state debts to the
amount of $274,00(1 have been pa'd out of n
possible S313.0CO, which would have been
paid had all of the state taxes been col
lected. Following Is the statement of the bal

The Children Enjoy
Life out of doori and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment
which they receive and the efforts which they make, comet the greater part of that
healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When
a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and
strengthen the Internal organs on which it actsk should be such as physicians would
sanction, because its component ports are known to be wholesome and the remedy
itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and
parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup
of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by
fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs Is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally
without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually,
without producing that constipated habit which reoults from the usa of the old
time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so
carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood,
strong, healthy and happy, do not give tbem medicines, when medicines are not
needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxr.tive, give them only
the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrui of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative
principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our
original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do
not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to
increase their profits. Please to remember, the full name of the Company
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. is printed on the front of every package. In
order to get Its beneficial
effects it is always neces
sary to buy the genuine
only. For sale by all re
liable druggists.

Bryan at Labor Fair.
W. J. Bryan made an address at the open
ing of the Union Labor fair this evening.
In which he said In part:
There Is a great gulf existing between the
tolling classes and those who live With -u
toiling, but at the present time brain and
muscle are woiklng in closer harmony th .n
they have for many years. Today the
world dees not care for the nonpro, uc r,
and the laborer ranks much higher thn
the Idle man, who Uvea on the Income leit
him.
The dignity of labor has been so pro
claimed over the land and impressed on the
minds of the people that it will not be long
until the world will point the flnger of d.s
grace at the man who lives In Idle.-es-i.
The moral question Is also Involved in this.
A man who refuses to work cannot attain
a high moral standard. The real pat per
is not the man living in poverty, bu. tho
one that dees not produce anything. The
pauper may be found among til- r.ch
el Bscs. i where Idlenes take the placa of
work.
If alt the laboring men should quit work
now the world would starve in aix months,
because the countiy Is only that tar anead
In supplies. No man can be better t.usi -d
than the laboring man. and no one Is more
liiten i-t-d in guod government than he
who tolls.
