Judge Deemer holds that the paper was a valid document, and decided the case against the defendants. Judge Smith held a session of the district court yesterday, at which the case of J. Reeder, who is trying to get out of jail on a writ of habeas corpus, was tried, = Recde who was bound over to the grand jury on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder, claims that the evidence upon which he was bound over was a0t sufficient to warrant the court in disposing of his case in _that way., After hearing the evidence Judge Smith took the case undor advisement antil tomorrow, when he will render a de- sision. In the meantime Reeder is still in Jail. A party of Iadies were spending the even- Ing at the residence of Mrs. Oscar Keeline last evemng, Their pleasure was suddenly interrupted by tie sound of a knock at the door, and, on opening the door, they wore dismayed at the sight of an unusdally hard looking specimen of tramp, who asked for adies informed him that their husbands were away from home and had all the money with them, whereupon he tried to force his” wiy into the house. A prompt shutting of the door served to flatten the too sociable tramp's nose and to keep him on the proper side of the cntrance. He left the premises vowing that he would make a raid on the spoonhotder before morning. A man named Ackerman reported at the police station last evening that his two boys, Albertand Harry, aged 12 and 7 yoars, had left their home at the corner of Avenue A and Thirty-fourth street, and were nowhere to be found, He was not at home when they left, and te did not know they had gone until hie came home from his work in th evening, Upon inquiring from the ncigh- bors he learned that the had gome away about 11 in the morning, but what dircction they had taken he could not find out. He camo to Council Bluffs from Lincoln, Neb., last Thursday, and thinks that as the boys were born and brought up there they may have been taken with a pang of homesick- ness and gone there to find their old friends.

Ever since the motor line has been in operation the Omaha trains have been run up Broadway, around the Pierce street loop, and back. About two years ugo a change was introduced by which only half the trains were run up Broadway, every other Omaha motor running down Main strect to the Rock island depots for the accommodations of the public in that part of the city. Yesterday still another change was made, and from now on all Omaha trains will be run down Main street. A stub line is run from the corner of Pearl street up Broadway and around the Pierce street loon, 1o take the place of the double trains that have herctofore been operated on that portion of the hne. A Beg reporter was one of the first to board a train on this stub line yesterday morning, When he tendered three bright new pennies in payment for his ride he was informed that the fare was b cents. “lsn't the J-cent fare ordinance now (" don't know anything about any ordi- nance plied the man who handled the bell-punch; “all 1 know is that we have orders to charge passengers 5 cents a trip.” Something Not Plain. What the motive of thecompany is in run- ning all its Omaha trains down Main street Just at this icular time is a question that bothers a great many people, but develop- ments within the next few days are hoped for that will give some idea as to the nature of the knothole which the company is mak- ing for itself. A rumor was started during the morning that the company, in its won- derful wisdom, had found some by which it could charge 8 cents for all passen- gers on Upper Broadway to I e.rl street, and 10 cents more from that point to Omaha. This, however, was a mistake, as the company hasso far made no effort to raise ite prices. It is understood that the city officials will make no effort to enforce the new ordizance, but will leave that in the hands of the com- mittec of 100 citizens, whose executive com- mittee drew it up and had 1t passed by the council. A test case will be made by causing the arrest of one of the conductors” who in- sists on having ents fora ride, and after the case has been carvied to the supreme court a few times a decision will undoubt- edly be rendered one way or the other. in force Bad Bills Made ¢ s men need their money in .

Judge Deemer held a short session of the district court yesterday and rendered a de- cision in the famous case of H. L. Henvy against William Evans and others which ‘was started a number of years ago for the purpose of getting a division of the pro- ceeds of a cattle venture in which the plain- tuff and defendants were alleged to have been interested. Judge Deemer decided several years ago that there was a partner- ship between them in what was known as the “Oregon venture,” but as Henry's claim 1o have been in with them in another ven- tdre later on was controverted by the de- fendants the court appoiated L."W. Ross referee and instructed him to ascertain the facts in the case and the amount, if there was any, that was due Henry. T'he report of the referee was submitted to the court about eighteen months ago and has been held underadvisement by Judge Deemer eversince. In it he found that the partner- ship did not extend beyond the limits of the Oregon venture and fixed #10,600 as the amount_which Henry was entitled to r ceive. In his decision rendered yesterday Judge Deemer sustained the referee’s report in cvery particuiar, und overruled the m tion of the plaintifl for a setting aside of th report. He handed down a judgment for the sum of §L,600 in Henry's favor and ordered the costs to be paid by the plaintift and defendant half and half. ~Referce Ross was allowed $1,000 as his feo. The decision is highly satisfactory to the defendauts, as they had conceded Henry’s connection with the Oregon deal and had made him a tender of his share of the proceeds of tho deal, which was refused. pod. wke @ nice, cool swim at Manhattan beach.

The burglars took a new way of getting in this time by boring a hole through the brick wall of the vault from the outside of the building. The job was evidently done by some one who was well acquainted with the wterior of the building and the arrangement of the things inside tho vault. There is no steel lining o the vault, so that when the marauders got their hole bored through the masoney they had no trouble in working their way thirough.

There were several women with the two men at the time of the robbery, and as their testimony was cousid- ered of & good deal of importunce, o contin- uanco was grauted until this morning in order that they might beon haud, During the afternoon the police ran across the women and brought them to the city build- ing.

For an hour or two each day his mother speads her time teaching him how to use the weapon, so that he will some day become an expert, He is taught tostab so that it makes no splash, and is made to hurl his daggerata mark again and again, until he cannot miss his aim., And all this is done dur- ing the time that other boys are spin- ning tops and studying a spelling book. When the Caucasus boy grows up he knows just one thing — how to use a dagger. . This ——— MICA IS THE STUFF. In These Days the World Could Hardly Worry Along Withont It Mica fills the interstices of modern progress. A few decades ago we were secking practical use and market for the output of mica mines already found; now we are sesking new mines to supply the multifarious uses to which mica can beapplied. Thus the law of necessity changes in its relation to all things. Mica is now as essential to the varioi uses of electricity as this great force is necessary to human progress. In all ap- pliances” for electrical lighting and power, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the most important reciprocal agent en- tering into their mechanism is mica. All armatures are built up with its in- sulation, whether for dynamos, motors, generators or transformers. Without its use as an insulation the core of tho armature would burn out with a flash, but by placing sheets of mica between the thin sheets of iron, which are se- cured to the shaft that runs through the drum of the armature, insulation be- comes perfect., Thus armatures of even the largest generators can be run for twenty-four continuous hours without heating them more than 80= Fahren- heit above the temperature of the sur- rounding air. By this use of mica the lines of force are dissipated, but do not lose any of their electrical e In eléctrical safety appliances micaalso performs an important part asan in- sulator. To its infusible and indestruect- ible nature much of the success of the rheostat can be ascribed. This wonder- ful mechanism, which isapplied as a motor starter, a governor of speed, a re- versing switch, and an automatic safety switch, is absolutely fire-proof, and can be subjected to a red heat without mechanical injury. This is rendered possible by making the resistance of thin plates of iron packed closely to gether, but separated by mica. Thus the lines of force operate on the same principle as in the armature. Aside from these important uses of mica in electrical apparatus, it is also applied © a thousand minor ones, which make it the constant and willing servant of the great power that man has turned to in- telligent subjugation. Mica is aisoan important factor in many branches of manufacture and art. Owing “to its peculiar elasticity and toughness, qualities in which it is not excelled by anything natural or arti ficial, it is uscd ‘as un absorbant of nitro; yeerine, and when so used explosions percussion are rendered almost im- possible, while at the same time nothing is taken from the cnergy of the nitro- yeerine when exploded by fulminates or similar device. For such purpose the plumose mica used, or that in which the scales are arranged in feath- ery form. he prisma is tic or foliated mica is also used by passing it through a mill. This vastly increases the mica’s bulk and forms masses of bran-like scales, tran: lucent and beautiful. The French sil- ver moldings are also made with this ground mica. The unalterable nature of mica and the fact that it entively re- ists the action of corrosive acids, smoke and dust, make it valuable ma-’ terial for edificial = decoration. It can be readily colored or metal- lized, and its transpavency preserves in all its pristine beauty anything to which it is applicd. This ground mica is also used as a lubricant and axle grease, and for such purposes has no superior e cept plumbago. Coarsely pulverized it is also used for rooling material and as a fireproofing for iron safes. 'he cleavage of mica is estimated that it can be split or divided into leaves 250,000 to an inch. The largest plates of mica with such folia- clous structure are obtained from the Siberian mines, and they somotimes attain a diameter of 5 and 7 feet. Crystals over 2 feet in diameter have o perfect it is been found in Pennsylvania, 18 to 24 inches in New Mexico and 14 inches in | North Carolina. Blocks of crystals | weighing over 100 pounds are frequently mined. The North Carolina mines are supposed to be very ancient. Mica plates found in them when first particulur shupes, and it supposed they were used for windows, mirrors and orna- ments. The number of the mines and the magnitude of these ancient opera- tions excite wonder. Some of the mines are tunnelled to a considerable length, and distinctly show marks of chisel- shaped tools. Mica in some form exists all over the earth, but not in quantities of any commercial value. It can bo found " in granite and quartz rabellite, green tourmaline, feldspar, lepidolite and other minerals, also in granular limestone, gneiss and slate. It varies in discovered were trimmed o color from white through green, yel- lowish and brownish shades to black. Its chemical composition is silicite of alumina and potash,with a small amount of iron, magnesia and soda, and about 5 per cent water, HYPNOTIZING A WITNES3S, Here's & P 1 Line of otty ssibilities for al Complications, Wintermute, complainant in Dl 1. a $41,000 damage suit against James Stinson, a Chicago stockman, on trial at Tacoma, was accused in the United States court of hypnotizing a witness who was on the stand., Wintermute is suid to be able to mesmerize and hypno- tizo people. inson sent him a lot of blooc horses a couple of years ago, The were placed on Wintermute's farm fc breeding purposes, and now Wintermute has sued Stinson for services and the use of his farm properties. This morn ing the court denied a motion for & non- suit, and Stinson, who had engaged able counsel, began to introduce his evidence, One of his witnesses *“'could not r member,” He halted and hesitated re. peatedly, angd finally Stinson told the court the witness was being hypnotized by the complainant, Wintermute. Judg Sandford did not seem to consider the objection seriousl The examination was ordered continued and the witness asked more questions, but he still seemed ¢ nfused. Again Stinson arose and called the court’s attention to the witness's mental condition and insisted that he was under a hypnotic spell. Wintermute was observed to be making curious passes with his hands in the direction of the witness. He was ordered to keep his hands down. The case was still on when the court adjourned. Stinson says Wintermute hypnotized persons in his house at Chicago, and is wsitive he had the witness under his influence. Today he placed himself be- tween the doctor and the witness. The latter then brightened up and rubbed his eyes and roused himself, e I was in the country last Sunday and we tossed up & penny to decide whether we should go to church or go swimming.” *Ha ! a case of cleanliness or godliness!,” d 1THE OMAHA DAILY BEE WHRDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1893, Executive Committee of Tén Invites the City Council to Listen'tv a Report, EVIDENT INTEREST OF 'MANY TAXPAYERS Aftermath of the Storm'Payne, the Assall- ant of Jim Molmes, Arraigned Bofore Judge Fowler = Till Tapper Gets Fifteen Days, The executivo committee of ten, appointed At the meeting held in the school house one week ago when Ed Johnson read & report on the actions of the city council, met at the office of John Doo last night. Although the mayor and all the members of the city coun- il and the city oficials were invited to be present the mayor, city attorney and Coun- cilman Wyman failed to put in an appea ance. City Actorney Van Dusen sent ina communication, however, stating that in much as the only fntormation or knowledge he had of the contents of Mr. Johnson's re- port was w e had read in the daily papers he was not at this time ready to make any denials, corrections or statement to the committee. He would be perfectly willing to reply toany comments after he had been provided with a copy of the report. The councilmen present were Bulla, Conley, Bruce, Schultz, Wyman, Mullala and Kout- sky. City Treasurer Hoctor ands Garbage- master Sniveley were the only city oficials who attended. City Clerk Ditzon was longed for, but never came, There was a full attendance of the tax- payers committee. Mr. C. M. Hunt is pres- ident, but did not arrive until late, and his place was substituted by Hon. J. J. Breen. Secretary S. P. B n was present with his minutes of the previous meoting, which were read and approvea, Dave Andorson aros the meeting had been called for the purpose of giving the members of the council and others referred 101u the report an oppor- tunity to refute the allegations. He o plained that the committeo was not after any one's scalp, neither did it make the charge of boodlo' u crime. 1t was simply a and_announced that case, ho believed, of mismanagement and blunders, Councilman Wood said that he was not familiar with the contents of the report and wanted a detailed copy of the same. The council could then read it over. Jonuson said he had notified the council that the re- port was in his oftice and could be_seen dur- ing business hours by any one_interested, Councilman Wyman, he said, had telephoned him that he would be up to his oftice to look over the report, but later on telephoned him that the city attorney would first take a look at the document and that Wyman had never been to see 1t atall. Councilman Bulla said he did not attend the meeting at the school house, but he was ready to answer any questions the . committee might wish ~ to fire at_ him. Then was & whole ot of on a8 to how the council was to et copy of the Johmson report. Johnson, it seemed, did ot wunt the manuscript to go out of his oftice, but was willing to be there and explain in detail its contents to any person the council saw fit to send and get o copy. Wood insisted on the committee furnishing full and detailed copy to the council then that body would notify the committee when it was ready to answer. Anderson ob- jected to this. Breen said the city ing a stenographer, aud he did not see he'or she could not be asked to make the re- port. ; “Is that report the individual property of Johnson ¢ ashed Mr. Bulla. Yes; it is.” replied Mr. Hunt, “He did the work under the direction of the com- mittee, but it was a big job and the manu- seript belongs to him, Mr. Brighum sug- gested that the report-be printed and circu- lated among those *wlib ‘were entitled to a copy. Johuson explained that the council did not need only a portion of his report and addea that it would be foolish to copy it all.” *Let the council judge what it wants and what it does not want. Give us the whole thing that we may auswer it intelligently,” chipped in Mr. Bulla. This gentleman also suggested that o copy of the report be given to the council and then hold another mass meeting at the school house and give the council the same chance the committee had He believed that a great deal of undue e citement had been aroused that could be e plained away very satisfactorily to the pubi] Again Mr. Anderson took the floor and stated that a new era would huve to be in- stigated. the coudition of affairs was bad and needed mending. He considered that the council had had ample time to post itself and v opposed to any further time being granted. Councilninn Conley said he was ready for any question that might be asked. Couneil- min Bruce was not. He was ignorant of the contents of the report. He said he had 1o time to £o to Juhnson's office in the day time and wanted & copy of the thing that ho might sit down at home and peruse Councilmen, he said, were not all angels and were as liable to err as any one else. If ho had made any bad breaks he stood ready to be jacked-up. but he wanted to know some- thing about the details before he talked too much. It was finally agreed to have Mr. Pier the deputy city clerk, muke a copy of the re- port in Mr. Johnson's oftice for the perusal of the council and let that body give its ansy one weelk later at the sume place Thws ended the business with the council and the city ofticiuls were next called to time. The charge in the Johnson report made uguinst the city treasurer is he has been collecting fees illegully. City Treasurer Hoctor said that inasmuch as the council had been allowed to go over ho preferred to make his reply at the same time. He was ready and able, however, to explain that all of his oficial acts had been backed by law. g how us the law backing up your Mr, Anderson, M acts S think e “What are the fees for which you have collected on delinguent taxes?’ - “For colleetors of the same.” “Who have been your colicctors lately?” aslked Mr. Johnson, “Henry Beal.” +*Haye you been taking fees on taxes vol- untarily paid?” “Yes, sir." “Then you lected?” nere has never been any taxes aflowed yme delinquent, without 3 3 r verbally or in witing, being given.” “Have you ever made a detailed report under the ordinancet!) “No, sir.” “Who haye been ybug' collectors?” 1 have had severdl.

Hesaid he was responsible to the city council and did not_know what wus in the Johnson report, but was willing to answer any questions the committee might ask. Although this is the garbage depurt- went, nothing perticularly rotten was un- earthed and Mr. Sniveley was eventually exonerated, although the council was cen- sured for giving him authority to do certain things “The meeting adjourned for one week, deduct from all taxes col m Dick Payne Arraigned.

They aro particu- larly savage in appearance. Their uni- form is the Cossack coat, full trousers, scarlet undercoat hooked up to the neck big boots, and us an overcoat they a bourks, a circular cloak mad coarse felt with long, shaggy hair on one side of it. This cloak is big enough to cover the rider and much of the horse. The most distinetive point in their dress, however, is the eylindrical hat of black astrachan which they wear atall seasons, The top is of eloth or velvet.

It is uot strange thut some people do wrong through ignorance, others from a failure to investigate as to the rightor wrong of a matter. But it is strange, that individuuls and firms, who are fuily uware of the rights of others, will per sist in perpetrating frauds upon them. High-toned, weulthy manufreturing firms will offer and sell to retuil mer- chants, urticles which they know to be infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitationsof w known goods, We want to sound a note of warning to the retailers to beware of such imita- tions dud simulations of “CARTER’S L1 TLE LIVER PILLS,” When they are of- fered to you, refuse them; you do not want to do wrong, and you don’t want to lay yourself linble to a lawsuit.

Senator Frye thought tho court would hold we had property right tu the seals, and snys the decision raises a very serious ques- tion as to the liability for past action.
