8 S WILL NOT STAND TRIFLING Wearers of the Ermine Deliver Lectures in Very Plain English. NO ROOM FOR PROFESSIONAL JURORS Judge Davis K man ds the Riot Act to a Tales- and an Offfcer—Judge 2 Modest Around tho law and equity rooms after district court, quiet held full sway and reigned supreme yesterday, but there was nothing of this kind in the criminal court, presided over by Judge Davis. After the journal had boen read the judge aunounced that the case of the state against Micko Cochran would go on trial. Cochran is & young man who stands charged with having robbed a Swede, named Hans Olsen, The story told by the infor- mation is that he came from the coun- try and upon visiting South Omaba, he sought employvment at the packing houses. Jobs wore scarce. and not finding any, with & gold watch and $40 in his pocket he next visited a saloon, At that placo he met Cochran and_together they bowled up and then concluded to take o walk. The walk was eatendea to Syndicate park. Olsen went to bed upon a park setteo_and thero slept off his drunken stupor. \When he regained consciousness he coucluded to tako an account of his worlaly possessions, and in doing so discovored that all of his possessions had disappeared. Ho placed the robbery at Cochran's door and caused his arrest, Had Been There Before, The case bud not proceeded far when 1t was discovered that enough of the roglar jurors were uot present to fill the avel. A special venire was placed in the ands of deputy Sheriff Lewis for service, That oMcer went down to Sixteenth and Farnam where he located H. Miller, J. R. Rodfiela, Ed Weiss, O. W. and William Ford, all of whom were sent upto the court house, Ford was sent into the jury box and might have staid if the court had not unboutled its wrath, The man had hardly taken his seat after havitg been sworn before he was informed that he was a professional juror and was not competent to sit upon the case, Ford softly denied the impeachment and explained that when ho was found by the sheriff he was absorbing spring sunshine on the north side of Farnam streot. At this tho court read a thrilling lecture to men who hang about the court rooms, waiting to be picked up to serve as jurors, Deputy Lewis was sont for. The judge read the second chapter of the lecture to him and then the businessof the court proceeded. Thetrial procceded and the jury promptly found Cochraa guilty of highway robbery. In the case of the stato against John H, Murphy the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Murphy was charged with having embezzled §100 from the firm of J. A, Rider 0. In the case of Emma L. Eaton against 1. F. Nah, trustee, the jury yesterday afternoon returned a verdict for ™ the defend- ant. The plaintiff was the owner of a lot on South Twenty-second street and adjoining her premises there was a lot which was owned by Nash, Nash brought his lot down to grade aud Eaton broughtsuit for damages, claiming that by the grading tho lateral supports to hor property had been removed and that its value had been greatly impaired. Judge Eller Also Out for Gore, The March term of the county court opened this morning with 235 cases on the call, mast of which were continued. Before the county court adjourned for the day, Judge Eller issued an order that will set the county commissioners to thinking. The judge informed the many lawyers who were prosent that the commissioners bad beon poking large-sized lots of fun at him and bis oMce. He bad denianded many new things for tho complete equipment. of the office. The demands had been treated with contempt or had beon tgnored, “and now what are we bere for?” he asked. The lawyers were with the court and a committee consisting of J. H, McCulloch and C. W. DeLamatreo wero appointed to lay the matter before the commissioners for the pur- pose of ascertaining whut had become of the demand. WALNU HILL GRADING, some g Litigation Promised By 1dents of That Suburb, The residents of Walnut Hill addition have Aeclared war against the city of Omaha, and through their attoruey, John Breen, have brought a suit in the district court to com- pel tho city government to show its hand, and also to explain what has become of 810, 000, which they claim has passed from sight and into some person’s pockot. The petition in the case sets forth that during tho fall of 1880 a number of the resi- dents and property owners of Walnut Hill, being desirous of having the streets of that addition graded to the thea estanlished grade, but failing to induce tne city to grade the streets of the addition, under the genaral grading provisions of ‘the city charter, planned among themselves to have all of the streets of the addition graded under the special provision of the city charter, pro. viding for the bringing of streets to the es- tablishea grado without cost to the city, whenever a petition signed by three-fifths of the foot frontage on the streets proposed to be graded was presented to the couucil, In pursuance of this plan S. D. Mercer and a number of other property owners circulated a petition among the Walnut Huiilers and procured signatures thereto, petitioning for the grading of the following strects: Nicho- lus, from Pleasant to Vista streets; George street, from Rebecca street to Lowe avenue; Neison streot, from Boulovard avenue to Vista strect; Rebecca street, from Mercer avenue to Nelsou street: Bird street, from Mercer avenue to Hamilton street; Kureka stroet, from Mercer avenue to Hamilton stroet; Dalo street, from Mercer avenue to George street; Institute boulevard, from Nelson street to Mercer avenue und Dewoy street, from Hamilton strect to Mercer ay- enue. ‘The idea and arrangement was to have all of the above named straets worked to the then estavlished grade and that all of the property owners on each should sharo in and ear the cost of such grading, if the signa- tures for the requisite three-fifths of the foot frontage on all of the streets should be obtained on the petition, Allege That Fraud Existed. After procuring a number of signatures of the property. owners, on July 20, 1500, the petition was presented 1o the council, asking that the grading be done without cost to the city. At this poiut the plantiffs aver that when the petition was so presented, 1t dig not contain the requisite signatures repre- senting the three-fifths foet frontage on all of stroets. Notwithstanding this on September 2, 1840, the city council approved the petition and rassed an ordinance declar- ng the necessity” of gradiug on all of the streots, with the exception of Institute boulevard from Nelsgn street to Mercer enue. They further allege that without authority and by fraud the council took it upon itself to ‘order the greding of such streets as it deemed proper, The ordinance failed to designate of fix any grading district, and was void for the reason that it was not based upon ov author- ized b{)e-ny petition, On Decémber 15, 1500, the Board of Publio Works awarded the grading contract to Katz & Callahan at 143 cents per cube vard excavatio . The plaintiffs aver that this was fraud- ulent on account of the fraud that had prey- fously existed i the pi of the ordi- nance. But with this fraud staring con- tractors and officials in the face, the work went on. The en{ nglneor made his profiles howing the number of yards of uru- ob graded to be 67,804, and the num- ro yar - to be filled to' be 150,000, The ©Ontr.y ., uOWever, the plaintiffs aver, called for excavation only, and the aggregate cost could not have exceeded $14,000, allow- ing a liberal sum for grading approaches and utting in culverts and sower pipe, While 0 work was going on, without the consent of the petitioners, the city changed the grade of some of the streets, entailing an additional expense of $6,000, which the plaintiffs claim, released them from all Jiabiity under the special gradiog provisions of tho city charter. When the work was ocowpleted the ity £0,000, Bishop Taylor's African £5,000 and the American Biblo society $10, 000. county for two years for paramour, was taken to the penitentiarv today. died at ncon today son-in-law, Hon, 62 yoars of age, was born inGreen county, 71 engineor estimated and returned as being due the contractors the sum of $20,108,17, What the Plaintifts Ask. Kight horo is where the plaintiffs et in their work. They alloge that $10,000 of this sum was not earned, nor owing to the con- tractors on any legivimato basis of calcula- tion, and that the award was fraudulent and fictitious. The plaintiffs also charge that on Decem- ber U, 1891, the council sat as a pretended board of equalization, and without notice to the property owners pretended to equalize tho assessment and lovy. At that meeting, after reciting on record merely its grave de- Iiberations on the matter,the council resolved and ordained that all the lots and real estate abutting on or adjacent to the strects and alleys that had been graded, towit, Nicholas, Nolson, George, Bird, BEureks, Dale and Dewey, should be assessed equally to pay the cost of grading, and that upon this basis the tax was levied, ‘The plaintiffs now ask that the tax be de- clared illegal and that the treasurer be ro- strained from collecting any of the assess- ment until a final hearing can be had, Judgo Irvine issued a restraining order in the case yesterday. ——— LINCOLN S NOTES.

We found the city very dull, at least, wo thought 8o, coming from such a busy business place as Arkansas City. The Galveston peoplo talked very discourag- ingly to us about Velasco, and tried their best to provent any of us from going; and if I were interested in Gal- veston I don’t know but what I would be tempted to do the same thing, for thero is surely a great and dangerous rival springing up in the town of Velasco, and Galveston begins to feel the effects of it. On the 11th we arrived in Velasco by boat and were much surprised to find a booming little city of about 8,000 inhab- itants; and all kinds of business well represented. The city was surveyed and laid out July 1, 1891, and the first lot was sold July 11. Since that time the company has sold upwards of $2,000,- 000 worth of pro{mrty. Velasco has a fine hotel, with electric lights and mod- orn conveniences, besides numerous other smaller hotels and boarding houses, where you can obtain board as cheap as you can at Arkansas City. Through the kindness of the Rrazos River Chaunel & Dock company, we are tendered the use of their fine little steam yacht and twenty-five of us boarded her and took a trip down to the jetties, which are 4% miles by tho river. We found the jetties = built in most substantial character and have been constructed 5,400 feet into the gulf, and the river has wuashed out between them a channel of nearly 19 feet of water. I saw while there vessels from New York enter, that drew 15 feet of water and sail u{) to the wharf at Velasco without the aid of a tug. There have been a number of vessels that have come into Velasco drawing 174 feet of water. The width of the jetties is 560 feet. ~Deep water is a fact and no mistake. We then landed and took a walk along the beach, whare they are building a fine large hotel at Surf Side at a cost of 350,000. The com- pany is also building an olectric rail way from Surf Side to the city, which will be completed as soon as men and money can doit. The surf and beach are the finest I ever saw and no doubt will become one of the greatest resorts on the coast. On the 22d of February the first passenger train pulled into Velasco and there were over 1,000 citizens who went to meet it. It is a branch road and connects with the International & Great Nortnern rail- road, eighteen miles distant. This gives connection with Houston, the railway center of the southwest, which gives Kansas and all our western states a grand outlet for their products. For those that like sport, this country beats the world. Fine fishing in all the bays aud inlets near Velasco and no end of oysters. Mr. G. S. Mansur, formerly of Winfield, Kan.,, and Mr. C. A. Bhss, also of Winfield, invited us to an oyster ronst. They treated us royally. Oscar Taylor, who is always in for fun and hav- ing a good time, wanted to be the first one to fish out the oysters, which was done with a common’ garden rake. It took but a few minutes to got all that he wanted. They abound m all the streams and bays within a few minutes’ walk ot the town, and sell at 40c per 100 at Velasco. The Brazos river flows through the center of the country from north to south, and the bottom lands along its banks are consid- ered the best agricultural lands in the state of Texas. In conclusion I would say that if you have some capital you won’t miss it by investing in Velasco real estate or farm- ing lands. Its advantages over all other points on the coast ure great, both for business and pleasant homes and fine climate. (Information concerning city and county will_be given by the Com- mercial club of Velasco.) There is to be an excursion to Velasco on the 10th of March, gotten up by the Commercial club of that city, in the 1n- terest of the stockmen of Texas, and there is another one some time in May that will start from Kansas City, Mo., which will be a good “time for all who are contemplating a trip to go down and see for themselves.

Wales. This device is the same to the ears as aro glasses to the eyes, and is simply a soft rubber disc, ar- ranged on a rubbor spring, and so shaped that when inserted in the eer it will focus the waves of sound on the natural arurm,thus increasing the vibrations of tho latter, @ possibilitios of & device of this nature have long been known, but the many at- tempts to use this knewledge havo been such utter failures that it was considered beyond our present knowledge of the ear to make a practical instrument of the kind. Conse- quently when this dovice was first invented, not muoch attention was given the same, as it was thought to be merely an ola enemy in a new dressi but gradually this slight preju- dice was dispelled, until, at the present time, most physicians and aurists look kindly uvon the instrument, and seem pleased at the suc- cess it is moeting. At a recont interview Mr. Wales made the remarkable statement that to his knowledge the dovice which he calls Sound Disc had never ftailed whore roliof was afterward ob- tained by any medical, surgical or mecbanical means, excepting & powerful ear trumpet, which'he says is more powerful than his de vice, It would scem to bo an ideal device for the deaf, as it is worn in the ear, out of sight, for months at a time, and, as far as we can learn, is pronounced safe and comfortable for the patient. Many times it has proven itself to be an advancement in the science of acoustics by relioving the most obstinate cases which had defied medical treatment for years, What may be the ultimate result of the uso of this device—whether the results thus far obtuined will warrant its use in such a variety of cases that 1t will stop the progress of deafness in tho future to such an extent that it willavoid the use of ear trumpots we cannot say, but the desirability of a device of this nature, as regards its safety, its bene- fit and goneral comfort to the user, none will fail to admnit.
