ERNEST STUAT IN COURT Fx-Aldermaa is Requested to Explain His Water Bupply. HE 1S ACCUSED OF TAPPING A MAIN Acoording (o Current Aceasation uht Has Been Proceeding on the Theory That Water in terally Free, The trial of ex-Alderman Ernest Stuht on the charge of illegal use of about 2,500,- 000 gallons of water from the Omaha Water company was commenced before Judge Leoarn Monday afternoon. For years Stuht has been an oppouent of the company and has fought it at every turn and he says he s going 1o stay with the present fight to the floish. The case agalnst Stuht is based on the alleged tapping of a water main on Eloventh streot, to supply his ton houses and a hotel, situated along that street be- tween Pacific and Mason streets. But one witness was heard Monday and when court adjourned the hearing was continued until 9 o'clock Wedneaday morning Blubt owns eight houses on the east side of Eleventh street, in the block south of Pacific strest. On the west side of the Mtreet he has two houses and a hote! There is a main In Eleventh street and one In Pacific street. During 1898 the houses on the west side of Eleventh street were supplied with water from a service pipe from the main in that street, a meter box being placed in front of the two houses That meter was taken out and a line of Plpe was run frem the sorvice pipe east of the house on the east slde of the street, #0 that all ten houses and the hotel were supplied by water passing through one meter. Me Hoodwinks the Meter, Tho allegation of the water company is that durlng March, 1899, Stuht made a con- nection through the meter box west of Bleventh stroet, from which the meter had beon removed; that he then parily turued ©oft the water coming through the Prcific street mervice pipe, recelving the Kreater portion of the water used by way of the Eleventh street main on which there was no meter. The one witness on the stand Monday afternoon was ¥. 0. Kunz, who has charge of tho meters and who makes out the bills for the company. According to his state- ment it appeared that Stuht, during i898, usod from 117,000 to 260,000 gallons of water & month for the ten houses and the hotel ‘Then the showing of the meters dropped off, on the average for 1505, about 100,000 &allons per month, and for 1900, about 140, 000 gallons per month. [l said the of- clals of the company were suspicious all the time, but they 4id not find what they considered the cause until last November, when tho connection through the retired meter box on Eleventh street was discoy ered. Kunz stated that the rate charged for water Is 76 cents per thousand feet, which, taking the averages for the months during which It is charged the deception was in progross, brings the amount involved to about §1,800. Showing of Defenns The only showing of the hands of the defonse came in the cross-examination, when Kunz, in an indirect way, stated that the water bills in 1857 were ahout the same A« they had been during the period when 1t 16 alleged that Stuht was getting the best of the water service. An attempt was also made to show by the witoess that the low- est bllls during the period came in the summer month, when hotel patronage was light, and that the beavy year of 1898 was made 80 by the fact that all of the houres were occupled In consequence of the Trans- mississippl exposition in this city. Wednesday morning the books of the company will be introduced to show the meter readings for the period in question, The men who are sald to have found where the water was being stolen will also be Wut on the stand by the prosecution Influenza is Epldemic.” Thousands of cases have proved that “‘Orangelne’’ powders, under simple direc- tions, are marvelously accurate to head off and cure, CRUSADE GOES MERRILY ON OMcers Continae War on Bake Shops and 1 Color” “Clean up or close up” is the ultimatum of Sanitary Officers Woolridge and Gibbons to the proprietors of bakeries and lodging houses which have been found in a filthy condition. After serving the required no- tices the officers have given a reasonable length of time for the cleaning of all un- sanitary places and a faflure to have this dono has called forth vigorous action. They propose to see to it that every cltizen of Omaba shall have bread free from bugs and a clean place for every sojourner to rest his weary bones undisturbed by crawl- ers and creepers.

While the former subjects of the queen, now citizens of Omaha, huve become thor- oughly Americanized, there still remains with them a tender sentiment for the land of their nativity and the passing ruler thereof. As an evidence of this feeling, the British colony of this city contributed $1,000 to the fund for the queen’s jubilee a short while ago, and the offering was wholly un- solicited. To mppropriate the language of a prominent Englishman: “Our contribution of $1,000 not only showed our respect for our former sovereign, but demonstrated American liberality and prosperity.” Some of the local estimates of Queen Victoria's character are as follows: Belleve in Bible. M. A. Hall, British Vice Consul—The threatened death of Queen Victoria has caused widespread sorrow throughout the civilized world. Her position among sov- erelgns was unique, because she has been pre-eminently in favor at all times of those movements which tend to the betterment of humanity. Her aim has appeared to be throughout her whole raign to elevate the standard, not only of her subjects, who are found in every part of the globe, but also of all others. Perhaps nothing shows the Rooduess of her heart and disposition better than tho response made by her to those envoys from the dark continent a great many years ago. Being presented to her they asked her for the secret of England's greatness. She im- mediately asked for a bible, and, handing it to them, said: *'This is the secret of England’s greatne Queen Victoria has proven herself to be not only a successful ruler of subjects, but also a model wife and a good mother. She has reared a very large family, and she has at all times caused to be Inculcated Into the minds of her children the paramount ides of having the greatest good done to the greatest number in all matters pertaining to government. 1 belisve that her death will not cause any groat changes either in financlal or governmental circles. The prince of Wales has been very closely iden- tifled with the administration of affairs for a long period. He is now about 60 years of age and certainly fs in a much better po- sition to take charge of the kingdom than he would have been had he been called upon earlier in his career. It has been his duty and pleasure for many years to as- sist her majesty In all social functions and he has relleved ber more and more each succeeding year of the burdens which nec- essarily attach to her position as queen. With bis knowledge of the men who have been conducting the affairs of government, and also owing to his wide knowledge of other governments and the men in power, 1 am firmly of the opinion that his adminis- tration will be such as to give a new of life to the British empire. Dean Fair’ ute. “Favor Is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised. “Her children shall rise up and call her blessed; her husband also he praiseth her.”” (Proverbs 31, 30 and 25) 1 know not to whom we can so fittingly apply these well known words as to Vic- toria, queen of Enguand, passing today from & throne to her grave; & monarch now, but in a few hours a corpse. I saw this remarkable woman upon several occa- sions. There was no attraction in her ap- pearance, but in character and action she will ever shine upon the page of the world's history as the greatest of modern women und the noblest and purest of mon- archs. Four dates stand out in promin ence connected with Queen Vicioria's name, May 24, 1819, when she was born; June 20, 1837, when she became queen of Enaland; January 10, 1840, when she married Prince Albert, and today, when she Is expected to pass into the spirlt world.

Nobly she lived under every phase of life's varled experience, the personifica- tion of a true, pure woman. I sum up my estimates of the departing monarch as fol- lows: Victorla, queen of England, was an illustrious monarch, & loving daughter, a model wife, a devoted mother, an affec- tionate friend and a virtuous woman. Let us magnify her name and memory as they deserve to bo honored. Let us eulogize her name wherein it should be praised, for bappy and blessed and remarkable is that person who, after sixty-three years of pub- Me lite, can be as unsullied, as unstained and as uncondemned as is Victorla, queen of Great Britain and Ireland, governor of Canada, Austrailia, New Zealand, the Isles of the Sea and empress of all the Indies. are-Minded Woman, Guy C. Narton—Queen Victoria will go down In history as one of the noblest and purest women who ever occupled a throne. Her influence upon English society bas been that of any pure-minded woman multiplied in its effect by her position and ability. 1 doubt if her demise will have any great effect upon tne affairs of the empire. Vn- til her successor Is well established fin his seat, the markets will be affected. I believe that in this country we are feeling the effect of her illuess in A business way as well as in England, but the conser tive party Is strongly entrenched in power in that country and no revolution can take place. With the constitutional monarchy the government comes nearly to a govern- ment by the people. Even the most ex- treme radicals are loyal o the throne. An American cannot understand the feeling of the Englishman for his queen—the feel- Ing s accompanied with something like that we feel for divinity, Her Remarkable Influence. J. Y. Craljg—The demise of the crown wlill have little effect upon English politi or soclety. The cabinet has things well In hand in that country and will take charge. The prince of Wales will be declared king and everything will move along as ususl. Queen Victorla has been a noble woman and her influence upon the lives of her peoplo has been remarkable. In every capacity she has fulfilled the hopes of every one. The prince of Wales has been wild, but he certainly bas finished bis sowing of wild oats. If he shows any signs of being less than the monarch should be, the ministry will hold him in check Harry Lawr Estimate, Harry Lawrle—I once had the pleasure of seelng Queen Victoria. 1t was fn the fall of 1880, when, as the custom has been for many years, she was attending the athletic sports at Ballater, nsar Bal- moral, Scotland.

Her reign was peculiarly marked by the purity of her court and for the strictness with which she excluded anything approaching moral laxity. She kept closely In touch with the affairs of her government, signing all important public documents herself, and exercising all other prerogatives of queen with dignity and an eye single to the welfare of her subjects. It Is a matter of history that never but once has a prime minister pre- sumed to usurp any of her authority, and the reprimand he received from the queen discouraged any further attempt of this kind. This presumptuous prime minister was Lord Palmerson, who had the infeli- city to inform her majesty that Parliament had passed a certain measure, that he had signed it and that it had become a law He was politely Informed that thereafter she as queen would save him the trouble of passing upon similar matters.

True 1o Her Subject As a Scotchman and a Scotch-American citizen 1 greatly esteem the life of Queen Victorla and so long as life ls spared me I will cherish her memory. As queen of Great Britain and empress of India she was at all times mindful of the best interesis and wolfare of her subjects wherever they were placed in her great empire. It was as her representative that the prince of Wales visited India, and in her old age she visited Ireland and had even there a hearty welcome--the best evidence that could be offered of the great regard in which she was held by the Irish people. The Irish penal laws, which had their origin in the revolution of 1688, gave the Irish good cause for hard feelings toward the crown, but the improved condition of Ireland and the Irish people {s due to Catholle emancipation and to legislation, which nearly all had its orlgin and growth In her 1ong reign of sixty- three years. It is, however, as a Scotch- man that 1 speak a word of praise for the upright and noble queen, whose whole life was an example of righteousness. Apart from her public iaterest in the kingdom, she was passionately fond of Scotland and devotedly attached to many of its great men. She found in Dr. McLeod and the duke of Argyle companionship and wise council, and her love of Scotland has done much to ralse that small country to a proper place in proportion to its great men and its lnfluence ou the affairs of the world If space would permit I would like to speak of her from the standpoint of an American citizen. When her government, in the early days of our war of the rebellion, was in #pirit and policy opposed to our success, it was then that the queen and her noble hus- band, “Albert the Good,” threw their in- fluence on the alde of the north and in favor of the principles that we were through turmoil and trouble trylng to maintala, A6 Americans we may well in these her last days says with Tennyson May all love His love, unseen o'ershadow thee, The love of all thy sons encompass thee The love of all thy daughters cherish thee, q » of all thy people comfort thee, d's love set thee at His side again but felt Noblest Woman in the World.

Dr. R. 8. Anglin—The death of Queen Vic- toria is something that must be anticl pated with universal sorrow. No sov- ereign in the whole history of the world can compare with her in any respect. She was not only the object of her subjects’ love and devotion. but & ruler who com manded the respect and adoration of all the other nations of the universe. 1 saw the queen last at the Glasgow exposition in 1888, where she was recelved with plaudits of the cosmopolitan throng gath- ered there.
