Extensive Scwer Work Necessary— The Sperry Company in the Com- bination—Another Blaze—Work of the City Coun The State Rests, The stato has introduced all of its evi- dence in the Brook’'s murder trial and rested its case. To-morrow, the defense will begin to present its side, but it is understood that this will not require very much time. Colonel Dailoy statos that he will introduce a fow witnesses for the defevse, but does not say how many, nor how much time 1t will occupy. Yesterday morning, the cross examination of Casey was resumed, and oc- cupied nearly the entire forenoon. Nothing new was rovealed in the cross examination, The next witness was a young man named Morsc, an employe of the Hayes livery barn at the time of the shooting. Ho stated he “vas nequainted with DeGoode. Knew him in Sioux City aud Omanha. Saw him several tines the day of the shooting. Policeman Mullen was the next witness, He placed Brooks under arrest. Found him in @ house at the corner of Vine and Second stroots, hid in o teunl, Tn cross-examination Mr. Mullea snid_he id not tell Brooks why he was wanted. The statemont that Brooks said he did not mean 10 8hoot any one, and that it was an accident, was objected to ind sustained. Ex-Officer Eisenberger’s testimony similay to that of Mr. Mullen. Dr. Waterman was then called and gave an account of the post mortem examination, after which the state rested. Colonel Dailey said ho was not ready to procecd with the defense and the case was adjourned to Monday. Morehouse & Co., m'D'g blank books, banlk and commercinl work, - Unprofessional Medical Men, At a late hour Wednesaay night fovr men called at the home of Dr. . H. McCoy, on south Kighth street. In the party were Sheriffs Rainbo and Crane, of Shelby and Audubon counties, and they -were looking for the doctor, who, together v7ith his part- ner, Dr. T, H. Ensor, has been indicted in Ida, Sheiby and Audubon eountios for abtair ing money under false pretences. Tho doctors ailoged to hail from Omaha, and resented that they were running the Nebraska Infirmary. They also gave their place the name of the Nebraska Dispensary, and it is ullcged that in numerous cases the have encouraged the impression that their alleged institution and the Omaha Medical aud Surgical Institute were one and the same enterprisc. Under this bogus representation they did & thriving business through the towns and covntics of western Towa, and the indictment asserts that they received money frowm certain parties for nostrums which never came, and Tor alleged medical services which werd not rendered. Onc of the indictments roturned was against onc of them for fraudulently obtaining a signature to a note for ¥i0 under pretense that the paper signed was an order for medicine. “Tho sheriffs failed to locate their men in Owmaha, although they visited the aileged dispensary and infirmary, but both places were deserted. When McCoy’s house v visited Wednesday night, the medico wasnot at home, but the ofticers waited outside, and 00n a man walked briskly down to the street and entored the house without ring- ing. 1t was the doctor, and the oficers then stepped o the door again and called him out, Shortly afterward six men departed. They were the two_sheriffs, two policemen, Dr. McCoy and his father'in-law. Since that time the house bias boen almost deserted. The following morning the women . of the household took their departure, and have been scen but once or twice since, En- residence, corner Sixteenth and avenue s also visited soveral times, but the doctor was not at home, and it is not known whether or not he has yet been appre- hended. Several of the physicians of this city have Dbeen iterviewed rezarding their krowledge of McCoy and Ensor’s methods of aoing bus- incss, and whild it transpives that compar- atively little was known of them, tnat little was anything but favorable. It is stated tnat McCoy has acted in the capacity of trav- eving representative of the firm, canvassing the surrounding country, and drumming up trade, while Ensor has 'devoted hus time to what local practice conld be secured, and to dispensing medicimes to McCoy’s eredulous dupes. An Omahia drug house bas furnishod the material, and a short time ugo a drug clerk of this city was offered a position by these two doctors, who wanted him to attend to their dispensing at the said drug house, but he refused to accept it when he learn of the methods employed by them. Judging from all roports, thore are enough chiarges to make it very mteresting for the alleged pro- prictors of the *‘dispensary and “infirmary.” ———— Sheet music 10¢, 538 Broadiwa was Shoes at your own price this week at J.

Our system 18 all right, and all that is needed is to have the lower end completed.” “What part of the system is giving trouble ““Well, it would be hard to say just what the bounds are, but I would say the part south of Fifth avenue, and west of Eighth street—in other words the southwestern por- tion cf the city, Of course, it the bed of the creek keeps raising, the sewers will be clogged farther back than at present. It willall boattended to this winter, and put in fine shape, 1 can’t tell just what it will cost until after a survey is made and an esti- mate prepared, but it will probably require £20,000 or 840,000 to complete it. ~ We will have to begin at the river, and lower the bed of tho creck right up to the city Then a pumping station will have to be put in. A pumping station alone wouid not be sufiieient, for although it would dispose of the ordinary sewerage matter, it would not handle the storm water that’ goes down the storm sewers, The bed of the creei must be cut down to do that.” Where will the pumping station be cated " “Oh, somewhers down around Twenty- third or Twenty-fourth avenue, 1 suppose. Alderman Lacy is in favor of putting it at the city limits, which would be Twenty- eighth avenue, and that would do very weil, It will have to beat the foot of Thirteenth street, as the Thirteenth street sewer is the main artery of the city sewer system, and that sewer would, of course, have to be ex- tended to the puibping station. After this worlk is done, there will be no cause for com- plaints about the sewers, for that wili put the entire system in fine working order. The only trouble is that they began to build the system from the wroug end, and that has caused all the trouble. The outlet has al- ways been the point where tho trouble has occurred, and as soon as that is fixed wo will be all rig R Coat devartment secoud floor, store, Council Blufts, e —— C. B, Musio Co, 538 Hroadway, - The Sperry at the Bottom of It. The mayor has received a communication trom the Sperry Electric company, of Chi- cago, stating that uo uneasiness need be felt because they have not commenced work on their plant here, as they will be ready to be- &in lighting the city on the15th of December, when the aeutract with Mr, Officer expires, baviog made arrangements with the Counell lo- Boston Blufts Electrlc Light and Power company by ‘whioh that company will furnish the power. As this company has sold its plant to the newly organized Council Bluffs Gas and Eleotrio Light company, it is_supposed that the new company and the Sperry folks are working together, In fact, the council is of the opinion that the Sperry company induced the incorporators of the new company to or: ganize, and _that it is also at the bottom of the consolidation which tas just been ef- fected, No notice has been recoived regard- ing tho proposition made the Sperry folks by the new company, but it is expected that the latter will cither get tho franchise now held by the former company for lighting the city or combine 80 as to have an interest in it. —aen A Kid Glove Sensation.

Gentle reader, are you now living, boarding, ov, if it please you, existing, t, L hotel ¥ or have lived, boarded or existed at one of the many caravansaries of the country? If so, this article will be appreciated, because, as a matter of fact, you have times without number heard that cver- present and most intolerable nuisance, the party that plays on the hotel y Of course you have—and the odds are in favor of it being fact that your apartment was or is divectly over the pavior, or that it was or is on the same floor, in direct juxtaposition to the pub- lic sitting-room aforesaid. At night, when you were tived and wanted to sink intoa refreshing sleep, you were, or now, kept awake by the nuisance mentioned. And in the grey dawn, when you desired just one more ), the discordant sounds chased « the charms of the drowsy god and s or sends you down 1o breakfast in th worst frame of mind imaginable. Du ing the day u friend ealis upon you and ou take him to your room to ‘enjoy a sant chat only to have your conver- ation drowned by the sounds of the in- strament under the touch of the girl who tlrinks she knows how to play. There are several classes of people who make the hotel piano a nuisance. The first is the party of young people from the country who come to town on cireus day and who get in on the firs weain in the morning. It usually econ- sists of three young men with their sweethearts. They arrvive in the city about four hours before the parade and go straight to the hotel parlor. Then, while one of the boys goes down for some port wine, u con- sation something like the following ensues: *Oh, my! there’s a piano; let’s have some music,” *Why, that’s so, isn’t i isn’t a nice one? You play, Aggie. “Oh, [ ean’t. You know I never took but two lessons in my whole life. You play, May. “Now, Aggie, you know just as well T do that T haven’t gotany piany—noti- ing but an organ.” ‘Oh, well, what difference doos that make? Oh, here comes George with the wine.” Tl one hears sgmething like this: “*Dear me! isn’t this nice?” “Oh, what would they say at I we should get, te-he-he, drun “Why, that would be aw—ful. Let's not drink a Lets sing. You play, Aggie sits down, *What shall we sing?” “Oh, let’s sing *Nellie Gray.’ Vo, I don’t know all of that, sing *Sweet Violets,”” “*No, I'll tell you, we'll sing ‘Over Thero,’ and George can sing tenor and Henry and Will bass, and [ will- sing alto and you twosoprano,” And they sing until the refrain, when Aggie suddenly quits and says: *Oh, I can’v play a piano; you play, May.” ' #No, you play,” and they start again, and Will’s voice, which sounds like fil- ing a large circular saw; George’s tenor, an imitation of a pig under & tub, and the shrill tones of the young ladies voices, blend like castor oil and soap suds, and everybody wishes that rim death on his pale horse would gal fim in and take them where “Many dear to their hearts over there" ve waiting and watching for them. hey keep it up until the circus parude comes along, and then everybody breathes a long breath and is glad, There are others who play the hotel piano. There is the young lady who is pretty and thinks sho can play operatic airs and she sits down at 6 a.m, and pounds the {nstrumeat until the guests mse up and invoke the shades of Beethoven and Mozart toanuibilate her, u, in times 1 are Dear me, ome if ) perfectly move, Aggie,” and » Let's She plays “Pinafors” and the “Mikado and murders “Norma’ and ‘“Gypsy Baron.” Then she scrves up various snatches from “‘[1 Travatore,” and quits only when mamma announces din- ner. There is another young lady who also plays. She not only plays but sings, and “Come Back to Erin” and ‘*White Wings”aro hor favoritos. She is s companied in the evening by n tall. gent with a frame that resembles a section of lathwork who wonrs eye-glasses, Iinglish broakfast whiskers and is called “‘professor.” The professor also sings. Sometimes he turns his voice loose alone and at others the listeners got a double dose for the young woman joins him. The profes- sor's voice would be a fitting adjunct for a pic foundry. His favorite 18 en- titled, “‘Queen of My Soul,” and is in substance—whon he sings to it—like this: Queen of me soul, Whose starlit eyes are all T seok, Whose volce in sweotest melody, Can love or pawdon speak 1 bow mo to thy loved control, Mary, Mary, queen of me soul, Mar-e-0, Mar-e-e-0, bright qu'e-c-e-e-n, awt 0-11 And 50 it goos. But there are silver linings to all clouds and occasionally a bit of sunshine breaks through the mists, Once in a while the bored vie- tims of tho hotol piano player heur musie. It was in the afternoon, and the bores, wearied with their own exertions, had hied themselves away, and the writer me had gone to the cool parlor to read. He was seated behind the curtains that answered the place of folding doors, lazily porusing the latest work of a writer of fiction, " The rustle of a dress was heard, and soon a fair face looked in. But sho snw him not, and_with a sigh of relief at Wunding, as she sup- posed, no one prosent, stole softly to the instrument and gently laid her dainty fingers upon the keys. It was “Annie Laurie” that she was playing, and she told a story in her exocution, Then she changed. IHark! she was singing— 0 IMid pleasures and palaces Though we may roam, Be it ever 8o humble, There's no place like homo, The parlor, with its handsome fur- nishings, faded away; the pictures on the walls vanishéd as the song progressed. The listener was a barefooted boy again wading in the creck at the base of the mountain that overlooked the home of his childhood, and plucking the fowers that grew along its banks. Again he romped with his playmates on the green or stole a kiss from the cherry-lipped, ebon-haired girl who now lies beneath the turf in the far off land where he was born. Once more he grew to manhood and felt the warm embrace of the woman that, in the days of long ago, bade har boy God speed, And then the scene changed, and he stood by the sy mound underneath which she sleeps. . Once more he heard the rippling of the little brook as it murmured past the spot where she awaits the dawning of the brighter day, in its course to the Chesepeake. Again the grand old trees entwined th branches and whispered tale one another, while the birds caroled merrily among the leaves. Home, home, sweet sweet home, Be it éver so humble there's no plice like home. The song was finished and voice of the singer was still. Back came the surroundings of the present while away into the dim mysterious shadow of an irrevocable past floated the sad but happy memovies the music had awak- ened. Twas then was Leard something akin to a sob. T'he listener peeped into the room where the fair one had sang the song of “Iome, Sweet Home.” She t with her fair head pillowed in her hands, while what might have been a tear glistened on her cheek. She saw and heard nothing of her audience of oneand he stole away. She of all who play the hotel piano was not a nuisance. She was a blessing.
