NO TIME TO ATTEND TO SMALL CASES - Thinks an Assistant Shoald Be Employed to Look After Preliminary Hearings— How the City Attorney Feels on the Subjeet, County Attorney Saunders takes exceptions to the criticisms that have been made on ac- count of his failure to attend the preliminary hearings of prisoners charged with heinous offenses, and says that it will only be possi- ble for him to do &0 when he becomes able to do two men’s work. During the past two or thres weeks he has been working four- teen hours a day looking after the grand Jury and the Board of Supervisors, both which were In session at the same time. While the jurymen were at home and in bad he was burning the midnight ol draw ing up Indictments, looking up points of law that had been propounded to him, and doing other work of the same character, so that It was totally out of the question for him to think about looking after préliminary hear- Ings in police or justice courts, “What the county needs,” sald he, “Is an assistant attorney, some young fellow who would be willing to work hard for small pay, and whose duty it should be to look after cases of this sort. Mr. Organ could not find time for these cases, and neither can I. 1 am not altogether sure, however, that it is not best to compel prosecuting witnesses to hire their own lawyers for preliminary hear- ings, for this first item of expense has -~ tendency to stop a lot of foolish criminal ltigation. Hardly a day passes that I am not consulted by some one who has a griev- ance against somebody and wants him in- dicted for some trivial offense. Many of these offenses are not recognized by the statutes at all. If we had an attorney who had to look after such cases he would be kept busy all the time prosecuting foolish lawsuits, When a man has to pay out $10 or $15 for some lawyer to prosecute such suits he Is usually careful not to do any more lawing than is absolutely necessary.’ City Attorney Hazelton expressed himself last evening a good deal in the same strain: “The county attorney never has looked aiter preliminary hearings, for he has not the time. The law says that e shall do 8o, when not otherwise engaged, but in a county as large as Pottawattamie it cannot be expected that he should look after the preliminary hearings of every criminal, or even every one charged with a serious oftense, throughout the county. ~Many times during the last three years I have been called upon by the police to prosecute cases in which the state was the defendant, and 1 have done so, not- withstanding the city had not the slightest responsibility in the matter. ~ Sometimes, when I could not go myself, 1 have secured the help of other attorneys, although the county attorney could have come in and dis- missed the cases over our heads, and it would have been none of our business, “In my last two annual reports to the city coyncil 1 have suggested that steps ought to be taken by the city to have an assistant attorney appointed by the county supervisors and the city council to look after such cases as the regularly elected attorneys could not find time to take care of. This matter is coming up now in just the shape that I have been expecting it to, and I hope that some- thing will be done to remedy the defect. Howard, the alleged diamond thief, is to have a hearing tomorrow, but I suppose no attorney will be there to look after the in- terests of the state, although there is a good chance of convicting him if the case is con- ducted properly.” BUSTON STORE.

Dan Bickford, who was arrested several days ago on the charge of making malicious threats to beat, brulse and murder his wife, has been running around rapidly, trying to find out just what was the result of the preliminary examination that he was given during the day before in Justice Cook's court. His attorney, after the evidence on the part of the state was all in, filed a motion for a dismissal of the case, which was overruled. The court nevertheless went on and discharged him, but made no entry in his docket. When asked what had been done with Bickford the justice said he had bound him over to keep the peace—that is, he had discharged him on the understanding that he should keep away from his wife, He and the defendant, he sald, had not yet come to any agreement as to the amount of the bond, although the defendant was now scot free, Still later, when asked what Bickford's fate was to be, he sald he thought perhaps he should fine him a cent, or else glve him a generous fine and suspend it pending good behavior. Making ,malicious threats, the crime with which Bickford was charged, is a penitentiary offense, punish- able by a term of two years, Law Is a very mysterious thing, and the new justices, who are worrying through their days of appren- ticeship, are becoming paintully aware of the fact, €. 0. b.

On election day the work of the conserva- tive faction was all done in the last hour that the polls were open. They nominated Fowler, Nattinger and McCague for directors in opposition to the three members of the old board who were not holdovers and who had been renominated. They were Joseph Con- nor, James Walsh and F. O. Ayr, and they were defeated. When the new board, with one member absent, met to elect officers Fowler, Nattinger and McCague voted stead- ily for Peck for president; the latter voted for Gibbon through courtesy, and Gibbon for him, while Gibbon got the votes of the other three directors, making the vote stand 4 to 4. This was the way it went for two ballots, when GIbtAn voted for himself and was elected, In the making up of c’mmittees, the Fowler faction had matters much its own way. It 18 a plan of the conservatives to let tho work for the commercial interests of the city be done exclusively by the Commercial club, as announced in a circular fssued over | & year ago, and to transfer the building to the Board of Trade Building assoclatin, which shall control the building and see only | to_the operation of an open board of trade. But it is claimed by the Gibb:n faction that the real object of Fowler and others is to biy up the majority of the stock—at least 51 per cent—then vote themselves fat salaries as officers of the building association and re- celve all the benefits in the way of rents. The sentiment among the directors being 0 closely divided, it is expected that their meetings will be full of Interest for some time to come. PR S— WRIGHT ON REINCARNATION. Says it I8 a Doctrine Taught by the Old Testament and by Jesus. Claude Falls Wright, a noted theosophist of New York, delivered a lecture ‘last night in the Patterson block on ‘'Reincarnation.’” Mr. Wright is a member of the Aryan branch of theosophists. He was for eeveral years a student of the system in the house- held of Madame Blavatsky. Mr. Wright stated that to understand the theory of reincarnation it was necessary to bear in mind that the soul and bely are entirely distinct and not to be regarded as close ‘together. In the east the body is considered the actor in life and the soul simply a looker-on. Bearing this in mind, reincarnation supposes that every hu- man being has sprung from a divine source, will pass through every phase of the material world until it has understood all its conditions and becomes a perfect and purified being, when it will again return to its source. Man is simply one step In this progression. Mr. Wright then proceeded to explain that the divine source, which should be called diety rather than God, was the universal principle of life. Every force of nature is intelligent, and, furthermore, every force of nature is possessed of intelligence of a d'ffer- ent degree and kind from that which man possesses. Thus even in a plant there is an intelligent force which compels it to grow. On that principle each man’s soul is a cen- ter of intelligence, each person is a center of divinity, is God himself. Like the rays of a sun, all men and things are sprung from a common center, but in themselves are each entirely separate from any other. What lite was the speaker confessed that theosophy was no more able to tell than ex- isting religions or sciences. He could sim- ply say that it is the first cause. Whatever it 1s, it causes this original epurce to split up into souls, each of which Is to learn what it is to live separately and finally reunite again. These souls live separately for what is called a *‘day of life,”” and then they unite for a “night of life” Then they exist separ- ately for a “day of life” again, and so on. The present day is a ‘““day of life”” which has existed since the first nebula appeared in the universe and will continue until all things resolve themselves again into their original stuff. The day may exist for millions of years as, according to the belief of th> Hin- doos, It has already existed for milllons. Consequently the soul is immortal. Many people belleve in the immortality of the soul after death, but the very word means con- tinual existence and birth is nothing more than death from another condition. Each soul has lived many times before in man, This {s shown in that at all times of the world's histery we find the same kinds of men, of clvilizations, of nations, over and over again, The soul, continued the speaker, is gov- erned by certain laws of progression and retrogression either as it has done gocd or evil. This is based on the theory that every thought, as well as every action, has Its reaction and effect. If the thought or action is evil or good, it will reach out throughout the entire cosmos and will ultimately react on the soul either for evil or good. Some- times* the evil or good is so far reaching that it may not rebound until the new birth and this explains why unexpected calamities happen in happy lives and unexpected for- tune in wretched ones. This theory also helps to explain heredity, why great men are born of parents of low parentage, and why idiots are born in families of genius. The new child is born, carrying over from its past life the strongest Idea that it had at the time of death. The lecturer contended that all religions taught the principle of reincarnation, even Christianity, as it was taught by Jesus. Jesus never taught that heaven or hell were after death, but <n earth. TIf heaven and hell were after death there would be no one at elther, as the former must be for the per- fectly’ good and the latter for the entirely bad, and no one is the one or the other at the time of death. Mr. Wright quoted many paragraphs from the new testament to show that Jesus taught reincarnation, and that the early church did likewise. But after the death of the Savicr the church was divided into seven branches, which construed the ideas of Jesus as they desired. Moreover, the testament was not compiled until the third century, and has been revised several times, until there Is very little of the original left. But the teachings of the early fathers, who followed the teachings of Jesus, show that Jesus be- lieved in the doctrine.

[ — ARBITRATION BILL READY. Central Labor Unlon Puts the Finlshing Touches on the Measure. At the Central Labor Union meeting last night the discussion centered on the arbitra- tion bill which the union drafted and sent to Lincoln to have passed. The particular point which was decided to be recommended was the manner in which the arbitration board should be made up and the extent of its power. Tt was finally settled that the union would recommend that the bill should provide for the appointment of one arbitrator each by the employer and the employe, and that the two &0 selected should name the third; the labor | mmissioner to preside at all the meetings and the finding of the arbitration board to be final, and to allow of no appeal to a higher POWer or court. The committee sent tc Lincoln to lonk after the labor bills made its reports and agreed that the outlook for legisfati in favor of the laboring people was more favora- ble than at any time in many years. The following resolution was passed: Resolved, That it 1s the sense of Omaha ] Labor unfon that thanks are du club of ation dele for five Omaha_and th for securing the thereby adding to the prosperity of our com- and by virtue of which a_ good ousand dollars will be expended to labor, and, be it further Resolved, That the secretary send a_copy of these resolutions to said body, and re- quest_that it, in giving out work on said fair ground or exerting influence with those giving out work, give preference to organized labor, both skilled and unskilled, and also preferénce to bonafide_residents of Omaha and South Omaha. The treasurer's report for the last six months was read, showing receipts to be $923, expenditures $498, and balance in the treasury $474. It was decided to send a committee to Lincoln on Friday to confer with the labor committee in the house and senate, and that the committee from the unfon should do all in its power to have the arbitration bill recommended by the house and senate committees without any amend- ments, The following were elected to fill the vari- ous offices for the ensuing year: J. B. Schupp, president; John Kerrigan, vice president; K. S. Fisher, recording and ccrresponding secretary; J. G. Bair, financial secretary; George Clark, treasurer; S. B. Smith, sergeant-at-arms.

As d’Artognan Salvini was at his best, and from the open- ing to the thrilling finale he kept the audi- ence in a fervor of enthusiasm. As a whole it was a flawless presentation, richly and strikingly staged, and enjoyed with a hearti- ness that found expression in frequent and most lavish applause. “A_Green Goods Man,” which appears at the Empire theater for four nights, com- mencing Sunday matinee, January 27, is a satirlcal farce, dealing with the green goods and bunco swindlers, The subject, which is new to the stage although old as far as the public is concerned—for the swindling of the unwary has been a theme for newspapers for years—is handled in a satirical vein. The fund of humor is incessant, and the advei tures of the poor dupe, who hopes to enrich himself by buying a fortune in counterfeit money (printed from plates, stolen from the government, as the circulars of the green goods swindlers o artlessly say) by the out- lay of a few dollars, are laughable in the extreme. As an object lesson, it proves of incalculable value, and will prove a great aid to the police in stopping the nefarious swin- dle, for who, though it be, likes to be held up to ridicule? Truly, satire will accomplish many things that, no matter what the warn- ings and lessons are taught, cannot other- wise be accomplished. While the green goods game is the majn motive for the plot, there is also a subsidiary plot of the Ger- man saloon keeper, whom politics gives a place on the bench of a police court. Paul Dresser, a noted comedian, will appear as the German saloon keeper, afterward ap- pointed police judge by Tammany hall, and will be supported by the best cast of farce comedians ever organized into one company. The songs and dances are beautiful and a rare evening's enjoyment is in store for theatergoers on the appearance here of this company. This evening Mr. Joseph Murphy will open his engagement at Boyd's theater in one of the best of his plays, “‘Shaun Rhue,” a play that can stir_honest Irish hearts to not un- manly tears by his song of “A Handfull of Earth from the Land of My Birth.” A cou- ple of hours spent in witnessing Joseph Murphy as the Kerry Blacksnith, on one or the other of his creations recalls the old Irish life and love of fun within him, and as in a dream the old days come again. “'Ah, the sunlight ne'er shines in the whole world 50 fair as o'er the old cabin which holds my Colleen.” Mr. Murphy's repertoire at the Boyd will be as follo Tonight and Friday night “Shaun Rhue;” Saturday afternoon and night, “The’ Donagh,” and the pgporama of the beautiful lakes of Killarney, Mr. Murphy appearing as “Lanty Killally at the Saturday matinee for the benefit of the Nebraska drouth sufferers, the cngagement closing with a performance of “The Kerry Gow' Sunday evenicg. The Kimball Opera Comique organization, headed by Corinne, will be presented at Boyd's theater the first three nights of next week, with its wealth of beautiful scenery, rich costumes, armor and electrical effects.

It presents an entertalnment in which sumptuous oriental splendor is rendered with opera comedy and burlesque. The costumes are sald to have been most lavishly provide A R Death of Ora McLulu.

J. Dodge street, at the age of 47. Her life was one serene, sweet exposition of perfect womanhood, Two years ago she was bereaved of husband, rallying to the needs of a little family of four, she bravely assumed for one year the duties of volunteer kindergarten teacher, with the assured hope that preferment and income would be the result, and she was not dis- appointed, as she was at once elected to a teachership that assured a comfortable life for herself and children. After a few months' work her health gave way, and she went to Colorado Springs, hoping to regain strength, but It was in vain, and a short time ago she returned home to die, Her death was peaceful, her life full of light and moral courage, and she leaves behind her a memory to cheer all who suf- fer, but who trust in the ultimate good, The funeral takes place Friday at 2 p. m. from the residence of J.

ROTARY PLOWS KEPT BUSY IN THE WiST Drifts Form Faster Than They Can Te Cleared Away -- Mall Train Slowly Thrending Ita Way Through the Mountalns, SACRAMENTO, snow storm that Jan. 23.—The heaviest has prevailed this winter Is now raging in the mountains between Shady Run and Wigrant Gap. Drift after drift 1s piling up on the rallroad track and the plows are pufting and blowing with might and main in order to clear a way for the eastern mafl, which is slowly and cau- tlously threading its way over the mountains No sooner Is one drift tossed aside by the rotary plows than another forms Sometimes the snow, lifted by the force of the gale, Is carried over the embankments and forms immense banks between the labor ing plow and the struggling train. Then the plow must fight its way through the snow to where it can turn and then force its way | back again to rescue the train from the in- creasing drifts, Hundreds of shovelers are at work tossing away the precipitous banks of snow that threaten at any moment to fall These men work in day and night shifts and are struggling hard to over- come the damage wrought by the storm, but the snow s falling and drifting faster than they can handle it. Added to the blinding volume of snow, so that a lantern stuck in a bank cannot be seen a dozen feet, is the wind. Never before has it blown so flercely. The bitter wind sweeps down the cuts in which the men are work- ing sending the stinging snow into their faces until_they are compelled to pause breath and turn their backs to the biting blast. There are 300 of these men and they sleep and eat in another outfit car which re- mains as close to them as sidetracks will permit. Although the storm is general from Colfax to Truckee, its center is between Blue Canon and Emigrant Gap. The mountains which rise almost perpendicularly on the north side of the track covered with fir trees, some of which, sixty or more feet high, barely show their tops protruding through the snow, so great is its depth. These mountains in places rise precipit- ously from the rallroad and the immense body of snow covering them Is in constant danger of sliding. If it once starts nothing can check its maddened downward rush and a calamity similar to that which happened on the Shasta division yesterday is momen- tarily expected on this road east of this city. PASSENGER TRAFFIC STOPPED, Hundreds of Men at Work Clearing Snow und Rocks from the Tracks. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.—There Is a complete blockade of the California & Oregon railroad at upper Soda Springs, Cal.,, above Dunsmuir. The great avalanche of snow, rocks and trees which came down at that point on Monday was supplemented by an- other big slide yesterday, and Superintendent Fillmore says it will take forty-eight hours at least and possibly a longer period to get the Shasta route cleared. No passenger was sent north last night. In its place a force of 120 additional men was dispatched from Oakland to aid the 600 or more already on the scene of the cataclysm. They took with them two of the largest hydraulic pumps of the Monarch pattern, which will be placed at work at once on arrival. The Sacramento river goes rushing past close to the track at the loca- tion of the blockade and its waters will be utilized by the great rams to cut away the immense mass of earth and rocks there, The slide of Monday extended a distance of 1,000 feet and the mass of debris is piled up to a depth of twenty-four feet. At the same time the Sacramento was dammed up by the falling material to a depth of sixty feet. It was a herculean work for the force of men to clear away the mountain of obstruc- tion. They set about it with a will, how- ever, and kept up their efforts untii noon yesterday, when another immense quantity of earth and debris came down on the rails from the hillside, 1,400 feet above, and obliterated all the work that had been done. Fortunately the men were at dinner at the time or death would probably have been thelr fate. As it was the situation was considered so desperate that a report of the condition of affairs was telegraphed to Superintendent Fillmore, with a pressing de- mand for aid. The result was that more men were ordered to the scene. The com- pany is apprehensive of other slides and the situation s critical mE T Steamer Wenthered the Blizzard.
