The motion for a change of venue in the case of Wilkins agains€ the motor com- pany which was filed a week ago, came up before Judge Thornell yesterday in the district court. John N. Baldwin ap- peared in behalf of the company and argued it at some length, stating that the people of Council Bluffs were so prejudiced against the company that they would not give it com- mon justice. He called attention to the fact that the democratic party had adopted a platform in which the motor company was vigorously denounced, and said we might expect soon to have the question of motor supremacy get into religion and to hear it discussed in the synagogues. He admitted that the motor company was under something of a cloud, and he intimated that he was afraid the cloud had lightning in it. He therefore demanded in the name of justice that the downtrodden motor company be allowed to defend itself against the people who wanted to get some pay for their ruined limbs in a county where the people were not so familiar with its way of doing business rl & Me- Cabe, who ropresent mwlvmmuw. made no objec 1 to the chan and the court there- fore decided the case in or of the defend- nt.

The law provides that in counties where the population is under 16.000 the grand jury shall consist of five men, and that in counties of more than 16,000 population it shall consist of seven. The census of 1890 brought the — population above the 16,000 mark, but by an oversight the county officials went right on drawing five grand jurors as before.. No question was raised until within the past week, wh udge Smith was hold- ing his term of the district court. The dis- covery has the effect of invalidating ull the criminal cases- that have been taied in the district court of Fremont county since the census of 1800 went into effect. Fortu- nately the number of criminal cases there is small, and the irregularity will not do so much harm as in a county where the crop of hades is larger. Mayhor will, undoubtedly, be indicted over Encouraging Homo Bullding. “T want to thank THE BEE for one thing,” remarked Alderman Mayne of the real estate firm of Greenshields, Nicholson & Co., “‘and that is the edi- torial published lay morning in re- gard to the possibilities of what is called the bottom property. THE BEE is right in saying that there is no reason for clerks and mechanics going miles into the suburbs of Omaha to buy homes, pay high taxes, street car fares, ete.,, when within a mile of the business center there are hundreds of cheap lots to be had on this side of the river. It's the truth, and I admire the frankness and honesty of an Omaha paper which can thus boldly declare what we real estate men have known so long. Of course the Nonpareil, our home paper, has been making a valiant and constant fight along this line, but we like to have the papers across the river help us too.” “What effcet would a 5-cent fare have on this property?” “Why, that would help out without doubt, and make it easier to secure resi- dents for that section of the cit The time will come, sooner or later, when there will be a fare of 5 cents, or even less. Whenever that time does come you'll see a speedy advance of price That is one reason why now is the best time for men to secure homes, for the will then get the advantage of any such rise when it does come Guilty, but Discharged. George Wilson, the alleged con man, who was arrested a few nights ago aftera man answering his deseription perfectly had done up a passenger on the Sioux City train for $140, was brought before Justice Field yes. terday afternoon for a hearing, Half a dozeu railway men had been subpmenaed for the purpose of identifying Wilson, but al- though it is known positively that Wilson has been hanging around the depots for £l e time past, they, all of them, with sur- prising unanimity, stated that ‘they had neve seen him _ before. The fellow who was with Wilson when he was captured has disappeared as completely as if the earth had opened under his feet, but it is supposed he went to Des Moines. At all events a draft was tele- graphed from Des Moines to Wilson's attor- ney yesterday to pay the price of a defense The witnesses, although they had scen the uper drop from Wilson's hands, coula not identify the §750 check as the oné, As there did not seem to be a scintilla of evidence against him he was discharged, although it is morally certain that he was guilty of bunco steering, not only here, but in other cities from which telegrams have been re- ceived at various times furnishing descrip- tions that tally with him.

Dur- ing the first three years of his stay there he was able at times co play about, but he would often have to stop on unt of the most excruciating pain and be carried to the house. About a an abscess formed, and from that time he became a_confirmed invalid. Manager Lemen, in speaking of the boy's epiritual condition, made the following statement : ‘Spiritually his case is a wonder of an ex- ptional nature.

The democratic minority was ab- sent and the meeting passed off like a pain under a mustard plaster. The main object of the meeting was to hear the report of members St @nd Bridenstein on the nof submitting to the voters the ition of erecting a school house north of and west of Twenty-ninth_street The committee in its report stated that it d found that there were eighty-two pupils ow the fifth grade in that territory, and 137 _dwelling houses. Although quite a number of the houses were vacant, in the opinion of the commit- tee the opening of the new bridge would have the effect of filling up the houses bp the time the fali term opens in Septem- ber. They accordingly recommended that the proposition be submitted for the appropriation of $10,000 or less with which to erect a four-room building near the cor- ner of Avenue B and Thirty-sccond street. It will be submitted at the election March 6. On recommendation of Chairman Shubert of the committee on janitors it was decided that the janitors be paid for work done dur- ing last vacation. Mr. Sadowsk1 appeared before the board and asked that his son Oscar be excused rhetor] work in the High school. He had refused to try to ‘‘speak a piece,” and had been expelled for it. Mr. Sadowski wanted the board to say that his son should be made an exception to the general rule in that particular, as he thought the boy was unfitted by nature to become an orator, and if the poard did not see it his way he would take his son out of school. The board was unwilling to make an exception torits rules, however, and after ome discussion refused to grant the request, hen the fact developed that Mr. Sadowski 1 been bluffing, for he said that he could now meet the boy with the boa decision in his hand and could make him go back to school. he board adjourned to meet at 7:80 o'clock Friday evening, March 10, when they will approve the registration lists and ap- point judges and clerks for the election. ‘Why let childrendie with diphtheria?

NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR SUGAR. 1t 1 8 Product of Conl Tar and May Prove an Important Industry, An_industry still young, but unques- | tionably with'a great mercantile futu according to the Washington Star, that of saccharine, a product of coal ta It is a substitute for sugar, has none of its bulk, and is so_powerful that it is 300 times sweeter. The history of its dis- covery is interesting, writes Commercial Agent Washburn of Madgeburg In 1870 Dr, Constantine Fahlberg, a Rus- sian by birth, but who had been edu- cated in Germany, became connected with the Johns Hopkins university in Baltimory There he conducted a series of experiments on the toluene sul- phamides, in order to investigate thei xidation products. The outgrowth of this investigation was the discovery of saccharine. By oxidizing pure ortho- toluene sulphamide it was found that it would yield a remarkably sweet | compound. “The amount obtained, how- ever, was too small to be of any practical value for manufacturing pur- poses. The problem thenceforth was to find other reactions which would give a better yield of the sweet body. A long and exhaustive series of laboratory ex- periments extending through several years were necessary for the satisfactory development of the chemieal process of production. As might be expected, a discovery of such practical utility had to run ‘the gauntlet of much hostile sriticism. It formed a fruitful subject for discussion in various scientific soc ties and journals, Attempts were made to show that it was not only deleterious, but dangerous. It is “only fair to say, however, that these arguments | seem to have been successfully contro- verted. An overwhelming mass of ex- pert testimony is recorded in favor of saccharine. Eminent professors like Sir H. E. Roscoe, in London: Leyden, in Berling Paul, in Paris; Von Bacth, in Vienna, and a host of others, after thor- ough tests, have certified that the effects of harine upon the physical and psychical functions of the brute and human system are entirely harmless, Saccharine in its pure condition is a white powder. Various exclusive ad- vantages are claimed for its use in the arts, household and medicine.

The Biblical Span of Life Frequently Over- stepp Whatever may have been the case in past centur st's span of life, years and ten, is much e ceeded by large numbers of people, per haps, in all countries. It has been as certained by Dr. Ogle, who is the head of the department of vital statistics in the general register office of England that out of 657,000 males living at 25 years of age 135,000 die before attaining 45 and 360,000 die before reaching 65. The expectation of a male life at 25 is 35.08 years, or the age of 6. But forty- six out of 100 will not live to that age. Centenarians are an exceptional class, but their number is much greater than is expected. Recently there died in the southern part of California, says the San Fran-, cisco Call, an Indian whose age was com- puted from 130 to 150. In the east there still lives the widow of a soldier of the war of 1812, who is credited with 115 years. It may be assumed that there ave Scores of people who have passed their one hunredth year and are still hale and well und anxious to ‘‘continue to grow 0ld,” as a venerable member of the Rothschild family once remarked to her doctor. Taking the preponderance of our population asa factor we ought to have a considerably lavger number of centenarians than the United Kingdom. Last year there were thirty-four per- sons of the age of 100 and upward who passed away in England, Scotland ana Ireland. The sexes were evenly vided —seventeen on each side. The united ag of the thi our give a total of 30 years. One is said to have three 106, three 105, three 104, ten 103, ix 101, and three 100.

The whole of this venerable band we born and rearced before temperance principlos took shape as an elevating influence of domestic and social life. If so minded they might have been among the first to take the pledge. In the days of their youth it was the custom to drink immod- erately at table. But it is quite eertain that these centenarians were innocent of any abuse of either diet or drink. Theirs must have been simple food, easily digested. They must also have had pationt, healthy work, with regular hours and a proper” allowance of sleep. The ener- getic spirits of this generation may be inclined to regard such a life as vegeta- tive, but in spite of sneers it 18 wiser to regard it as making the boest use of the gift of life, prolonging it to the utmost. Those who burn the candle at both ends by excitement and indulgence do not live, as a rule, half a century. Only one of the thirty-four centenarians who died in the United Kingdom t year fol- lowed a profession. He was a elérgyman. Dr. Gluck treats catarrh, Barker block ——— She Got n Seat. Indianapolis Journal: A pretty girl stepped into a car on the College avenue line. She belonged to the High school and was not in the habit of standing up. The car was full, but everybody else had aseat. Seven men held down ‘the most available ones, and, st to say, not one of them appeared to be aware that a young woman was compelled to stand. The pretty givl, with a quick glance of disgust about the car, took in the sit- uation and blushed somewhat indi nantly. She had a long distance to ride and could not cling gracefully to a strap. Two squares had been traveled when idea took possession of her classical mind. Out came the the embroidered miniature purse from silk reticule, and the | little hands fumbled among a few silver | coins.
