—— ROGUES, STAND FROM UNDER Bomething Awful Heavy May Drop Among fome Well Known Omaha People. VERY PLAIN WORDS FROM THE BENCH Vudge Seott Charges the Douglas County Gra ¥ In & Most Ear + to Work Out the 1 from Omaha, Yeaterday afternoon Judge C. R. Scott ad dressed the grand jury drawn for the present term of court in language so forcible and poculiarthat, had it como from another sourco than the bench, it would have attracted closo Autention and excitod warm comment. But dt is doubly forcivle in ‘ts character as the ©oMcial utterance cf tho district court, and stands forth prominently as a severe arraign ment of public morals and the honesty of office-holders, Tt is surprisinely strong and direct as a judicial utterance, It remains for the jury to determine by its labors whother this indictment from the beuch is whotly Justified. The afternoon session of the district court opened with Judges Scott, Davis and Keysor on the bench m the eriminal court room. Sheriff Bennott and Clerk of the Court Moore drew the uames of tho fol lowjug grand jurors, who wero swort J.N. Cornish, Melvill H. Redfield, J. C. Wilcox, Charles J. Karbach, W. S. Kennedy, C. M. Hunt, O. J. Pickard, F'red Schroeder, Charles Gutseh, R. C. Jordan, A. L. Reod, Gustay Anderson, Henry Livesey, Deanis O'Nell, William Siovers, Join Baumer. Gustuv Anderson was appointea foreman by Judge Davis, County Attornay Mahonoy was asked if ho had any remarks to make to the jury. He had none, The three judges held a whispered con sultation, after which Judge Scott addressed the graud jury as follows: Judge Scott's Addre jentlemen of the grand jury, you have been drawn, summoned and impanneled ns the graud inguest of the county, and the oath which you have just taken, as grand juror and which is as conscience-binding as an oath which can be administered to man, can- not be evaded, avoided, or disregarded, With- out a breach of faith between your conscience and your Makor, It is this: ‘Saving yourself aud Tellow jurers, you as foreman’ of this grana inquest—and you and each of you as graud jurors—shall“diligently inquire anda true presentment make of all such matters and things ns shall be given you in charge or otherwise come to your knowledgo touching the present servico. The counsel of the state, your own and your feliows you shall secret unless called on in a court of jus- to make disclosures; vou shall present no person through malice; hatred or ill-will, nor shall you leavo auy person unpresented through fear, favor or affection or for any re- ward or hopo thereof, but in all your pre sentments vou shall present the truth, the whole truth and'nothing but tho truth ac corking to the best of your skill and under- stading.’ Telling the jury that every good citizen Wwho contributes to tho support of the govern- ment has a right to demand that that govern- ment be equitably and eficiently admiois tored, Judge Scott explained that'the jur, Jurtsdiovion in criminal matters was cooxten- sive with that of the court, and that its duty was to iuvestigato all indictablo offenses within its jurisdiction not barred by the statute of limitations, *Diligent inqui does uot mean to merely examine into such matters as are brought before the jury's at- tention by others, *You are not a passive organized body to act only as you may be acted upon by others, but you vourselves are io make ‘dilizent in- quiry’ and actupon others, to the ead thut guiliy offenders sgainst the criminal law bo speedily indicted und obrought to justice. Your purnose should be to lef no guilty man escape the punishment duo his crima. To then end again, and that you may have a free and untrammeled vathway to make a most effective duligont inquiry, you have at your service the whole machinery of the court; the process of the court to bring persons, papers and witnesses before you and o compel their attendauce; tho officors of the court to serve you and execute your orders; the public prosecutor to advise and assist 'vou in the examination of witnesses broughi vefore you, aud tho power of the court to compel unwilling witnessos to make answer to all proper questions put to them by you touching your service under your sworn obligatious. Effeets of the Work, “When grand jurors do their whole duty in this regard the salutory iufluonces grow. ing therefrom, stimulating peace and good er among the people are immeasurable, ause, in_such a ovildoers have a dread of the grand jury akin to thavof the culprit as he notes the day of his execution, which does not obtain in so marked a degree when criminals are brought before the court on information by the public prosecutor. These aro the roasons why the seven judges of this judicial aistrict did, on tue first of this year, order that at this term of conrt a grand jury should be impanneled to make diligent inquiry respecting indictable offenses committed Withiu this county and whero the evidence s obtainable return bills of indictment agamst all violators of the criminal law. Whothor this action by the judges shall prove eflicacious 1n lessening crims in this country rests now with vou, “With the costs or exponses atiending prosecations upon indictments in the trial courts, or the docree or maximum of penniLy aftixed by the eriminal statute for its violi- tions, vou have nothing to do; nor with the social standing or religious or political afilia tions of any person, whose acts it is your wuty, under your outh, to diligently inquire im0, The lino of demarcation betwoen the converso of these propopositions and lewless anarchy is s0 undefined and indistinct as to not to be readily perceived.

You should see to it that tho stone is thrown and thrown hard.

"Thore comes up from the péople to you a command that there must now be a forward march il along the iine of vour duty. Give hced to that cry for it comes from & patient and long suffering ondurance which has at last reached its limit.” Judge Scott instructed the jury very minutoly in regard to its duty concerning the oxamination of the county jail and other in- stitutions, gambling, liquor-selling, and also on the law requiriug the oroction and main- tenance of tire escapes on buildings, particu- larly hotels, and concluded : His Parting Admonition, “1t will be the duty of the county attornoy when demanded by vou, and for such of- fenses, and against such person or persons as you may designate and determine, to preparo bills of indictment for yvou. 1 have charged you, when and for’ what purpose he may bo beforo you.

Theseven judges of the district court were present in tho large court room in the court house when Sheriff Benneti walked in and in the presence of 330 lawyers, litigants and spectators remarked in a deep bass voice, “hear ye, hoar ye, hear ye, the honorablo, the district coart of the Fourth judicial dis- triet, in and for Douglas couuty, state of Ne- oraska, is now open.” It was the first aay of the February term and a glance through the docket showed that there were 2,450 civil and 157 criminal cases to be disposed of before a final adjournment. ‘Tuore was no journal to read and as a result the membors of the bench at once commenced business, Judge Dayis acted as spokesman and ordered the clerk to call tne grand jury.

Street vailway men, the country over, are very much interested 1n & test soon to be made in Chicago of & new underground trol- ley electrio street railway. The new systew is practically the overhead trolley system newly applied. It takes the overhead wire, which has proved a practical success, and _trausfers it from a po ut above ke grouud to a coauuit below the surface aud directly nnderneath tho track It employs & complete metallic circuit, by which the cur- rout, after being used, passos back again over its own wire instead of beiug aiseharged through the rail, as is the caseé in overhead systems. The new systom is thus said to be made aosolutely safe. Tho line conduc.ors are of heavy copper wire, nine-sixteenths of an iuch thick. They are suspended beueath the track by means of movable insulators. Attached to the car is ao ingevious trolley device through which | tho current passes into the mo 10 the lighting ana beating apparatys, and finally back 1o the return conductor. The wolley 1s likewise capable of motion in uny direction ho current is brought up from the copper couductors beueath by means of u siot rail which is ot stews 1t 1s s constructed that it forms a rloct stecl roof over tue conductors and protects thew from all kinds of weather. “The slot rall has not a nut or screw in it, but r, thence is bold in its pluce by a clamp, with ample | This device | space for lateral movewent.

One of the main advantages of the new system is that any eleotric motor to which can be attached the apparatus for taking the electric current from beneath can bo utilizea Its advantages over other motors are said 1o be that tho motor man’s platform is elevated sixteen inches above the regular surface of the car, which not only gives him the oppor- tunity of exorelsiug greater vigilance while running, but also serves to keep the motor up out of tho slush of the streots, It is also provided with four traction wheels, and 1t is claimed that five or six loaded trailors can be drawn with ease. The new line will commence regular work by February 15, and A. G.

Malcoim Forbesof Boston, for the princely sum of $150,000, passed through Omaha enroute for Boston. Arion holds the world's record for 2-year olds, 2:10%,. & marvelous performance. He is a trotter and trotter bred, and without question brought the highest price over paid for a horse. Axtell, with a 3-vear-oid mark of 2:12 brought $105,000, which was, up to the present sale, the highest figure ever put up for a single piece of horso flesh. Marvin, ono of the men caring for the colt on this trip, says of his future: “The colt is to be placed on Mr. Forbes' farm near Boston, and in the hands of a com potent trainer will bo @iven every opportun- ity for bettering his mark. Nothing will stand in the way of his making a great record in this ana the following seasons unless it bo sickness or accident. He 1s as sound as a young horse can be. In the perfect contour of his body there is but one blemish. When he was a weanling he was in a paddock with a number of others of the same age. One duy three or four of them- were playing, and in strugele Avion reared up and fell over back- wards, another colt stepping on his hind leg just above the coronet. The injury was slight, but I..did not put mm in the kindergarten, but let him run out until he was comiug two years ola. 1n ail bis work and his fast mile he has never showa the slightest weakness or tne first sign of giving way in his!logs or body." What Forbes hopes Arion’s work will be, Marvin would not say. A California corre- spondent in the Horseman says : 1t is a surprise to ng oune who knows the condition of affairs at Palo Alto that Arion was sold. It 1s one of Senator Stanford's pet sayings that everything st Palo Alto 15 for sale, but if there is ‘anything which Palo Alto wishes to keep thay.can manage to do it Had they wanted Arion to succeed Klec- tioneer he would have remained thore, and with the brilliant prospect waich he ncw has of becoming the king of the trotting turf one would expect that he swonld be kept at homo, but as speedy as he is, Senator Stanford has a choice over him for a stock horse. And you who have so bittorky waged tho war be- twoen the houses of Wilkes and Electioneer will be surprised to kuow that the man who owned Electioueer and gave him the oppor- tunity for his greatness has chosen as his ideal from all the magnificent sons of the dead hero one that is out of a George Wilkes mare, the colt, now 4 years old, by Fle tioneer, out of Lulu Wilkes, by George Wilkes; second dam Lula, 2:15, by Alex- ander's’ Norman: third dam thoroughbred, by imp. Hooton. His name is Adyertiser, and coming to the track at the end of a toree mouth’s sickness he trotted to a 3.year-old mark of 2:16. That colt is the Puio Alto choice over Arion, son of Electioneer and Manette, by Nutwoed, Naturally so great a sale as this sets one to thinking of the advancement that has boen made in_ horse prices, and incidentally one is moved to the thougbt of the amount of money which has actually been created by the breeders, T'he foundation for the trotting farms of California came from the east at comparatively small prices, even in the days when prices woresmall. Twenty-five vears of breeding under sunny skies and on ever- groen pastures, and back to 1he east is going the blood which came here. And at what au advance upon the original cost! When oue looks over the list and sees such figures as_ Arion $130,000 _(estimated); Anteeo, £05,000; Bell Hoy, #51,000; Sunol, §5,00: Mascot, §26,000: Alcazar, $23,000; Woodnut, £20,000: Antevolo, §15,000, snd moro than dozen others that have gono for 10,000 and over, one can come Lo a realization of tho en ormous values that have beon actuslly created, With all the records and the big est priced horso to her credit, Catifornia can wish for little more.

When the appraisers were appointed it was supposed that their Appontment was made at the vo- quoot of men authorized to do 8o by the company. It transoires differcatly, however. W. F. Evans, assistant goneral solicitor for the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska railrond company, with headquartors at Topeka, arrived in Lincoln today in response 10 the order of the court, but 1f he brought he 12,600 in cold cash he failed to make the fact known. On tho other hand ho insisted emphatically that iis compnuy had authorized 10 0ne to request the appointment of ap praisersand 1t is cortain that the Rock Islard people will disclaim ali and any respousi- bility for the actious of the appraisers. Thie appraisers reforred to wera appointod carly in Decomber by County Judge Stewart and they immediately set to work. Thev condemned a right of way for tho Kock Island tbrough tho city from Eighth and S streets south to Q) streot, and appraised the property so condemned. It now transpires ihat the appraisers were apnointed at the request of roal estate agent who acted tho interests of tho west sido property owners.

The testimony proved conclusively that Paulick had boen fully warned of the approach of the train.

He was killed instantly and tho jury rendered a verdict that his death was due to his own carelessness. signed Once Mo ‘The fact that when tho citizens of Lincolu go aftera good thing they generally get it was empnasized again today by the sigring of the final contracts for the erection of the Lincoln Norwal university.

In Paris the thing has increased to such an extent that an ofli- cial investigation is proposed. Several jolly journalists and prominent literary men conceived the idea of entering the mendicant profession and practising mendicity in the streets of Paris, Their success went beyond tneir wildest dreams. The average feos of each no- vice amounted to about 20 franes a day, and it is believed that with a little more experionca in the business they could increase their profits largely, M. Louis Paulian and M. Hugues Le Roux were the most successful bey of the new literary branch of the profession. A srory is told of a number of these bogus beggars calling upon the Duc d’Aumale with all sorts of heartrending stories and appeals for reliof. The duk gzave each one 5 franes until he was snowed under with prayers and vless- i At last o genuine member in good nding appeared, “I have relieved about twenty mendicants of letters today,” said the duke, “ana I recognized them all, in spite of their rags; but | don’t know you; you must be a bogus lit erary man, Git out!” M. Paulian’s investigations revealed a crowd of impostors on vhe boulevards, including counterfeit one nimed men, in- geniously constructed cripples, and blind men who could see. He proposes to in- troduce a bill for the suppression of the mendicants on the streets of Paris, s ler’s Magic Hoadache Wafer cures all headaches 1o 20 minutes.
