There were fowr ¢oupts In the complaint against Rome Miller, the dates on which alloged sales ' of-intoxlcants were made belng October 6, 7 and 13, and November 2, on_each gecasion after the hour of § o'clock In the evening. Attorney Wharton contended from the start that the state had falled to establish any evidence directly confiecting the accused with the commission of a crime. In his opening statement Whirton objected to the trial of the casd’In police ‘court and asked for a trlal by jury. He declared the law pro- | hibiting the accused a tria! by jury was unconstitutional -and requested the court to defer Mts tuMng and heer the evidence subject to'the objeotion. Four Withesses testified on: behalf of the Antl-Saloon league, Harry ‘A, Stone, Fred Kayan, Frank Erdman and C. A. Holyoke, while the ‘defendant was the only witness EWOrn In his bebalf. The plaintitfs sald they bought and drank beer at the Rome.

He positively denied having any per- soné employed” In the: vieyard in. his employ. The fourth postponement in the O'Brien liquor cidse was consefited to by Judge Crawford, because of the absence of his attorney, Tom Lee. The case goes oyer until next Tuesday, as does also that of P. H. Philbin of the Schlitz hotel. Trial 'Stoppcd to Wed Pair Rev. J. W. Flook, District Court Jury- man, Beats Rev. Savidge Out of Job, “Looking for a parson?” hopefully in- quired A. L. Swickard, a juryman of a stranger in the corridor of the court house. “‘Well, we're calculating to get married,” admitted Ira 1. Lavely of Coln, Ia. On Mr. Lavely's arm there hung timidly Miss Tibble B, Howard of Shenandoah, “Welve got a sky pllot on our jury,” sald Swickard. “He'll do & quick, neat job for you." Mr. Swickard then signalled to Rev. J. W. Flook, who is serving with Swickard on a case before Judge Kennedy. A bar- Ealn was struck. Laveley wanted the dominie to go to his hotel, but Mr. Flook pald he could not leave the court house. So the party marched upstairs to court room No. 1, and there the ceremony took place, with Judges Kennedy, Sutton and Day as witnesses. Mr. Flook's fellow Jurors also attended, as did balliffs, deputy sheriffs, reporters, clerks, janitors and the ordinary hangers:on about a court house. The jurymen were delighted because they have been engagéd for more than two weeks on one of the most tedious and long drawn out cases which has ever been trfed In district court. There Is a colncidence In the fdct that In the same court room the day before there was to have been a wed- ding by stion of Judge Sutton, but the law prevented the issuing of a license as the girl was under age. Rev. Mr. Flook is a retired clergyman now living in Omaha. He was formerly at Arlington. { Subway Bouds Defaulted.

BUT THAT WAS IN SUNNY FRANCE Come the Young Lovers America and Now He for a Vulgar Decree of Divoroe, to Swift Her If ohe hiad captured a girl in & Provencal tournament of love by gayly curoling a sweet chanson, one might reasonably ex- pect the girl to stick. If one in the soft- est accents of Lingua Franga has thus wooed and won a maid from other trouba- dours, one might hope she would eleave to him forever. But, las for romance and the poetle customs of the land of the Jongleur! It seems that there Is no difference from the case of the girl besought In less poetic and romantic fashion. Even in this case they did not live happily ‘ ever after” and that ‘desired consummation must be con- sidered a figment of the story books, One lovely spring day in the year of grace 1508 Exupere Berbesque of thes vil- lage of Sarancolin, department of Haute- Pyrences, France, hied himself to Lourdes, where Is the famous Grotto ahd Shrine. For Exupere Berbesque was a devout son of the church and would pay his annual pligrimage to that shrine, where so many have sought surcease of woe. He Nimself had no grievous troubles, nor did he wish to be cured of any allment. But he went as 4 matter of annual devotion, Perhaps it is to be feared that his mind wandered a little from thoughts of the Blessed Virgin, who there, the story goes, appeared in hallowed * apparition to Bernadoite Sou- birius In the year 1858, Dark-Haired Beauty. For M. Berbesque had caught sight of a dark haired girl whose eyes of melting blackness, whose piguant smile and whose lissome figure combined to enslave him. Hoe learned that her name was Marthe, There followed & courtship fervent as it was short. For In the land where Richard Coeur de Leon himself sang as & troubador they do not waste time In.making love. Came the day when the annual tournament of love was to be held. Marthe was named queen. Exupere Berbesque appeared and there was no other whose singing could vie with his; no other whose verses were half so delicately wrought. He won her. They were married in.the village of Sarrancolin and when the cure had fin- ished there was the civil ceremony by the mayor of the arondissement as reguifed by French law. / Now the Sad Story. Now comes the unhappy part of the story. They came to Amerles and settled in New York. The clangor of the metrop- olls jarred on the ears of Marthe. She missed the soft and courteous accents of her native land, she missed the perfume of the flowers end soft warmth of & south- ern sun. Instead there were the strident tones of bustling, impatient New Yorkers; Instead of flowers and grass, there were only asphalt streets, and thé skyscrapers made & sorry substitute for the madestic Pyrenean mountains in which she had grown up. Whether she fled back to France or not is anknown, but at all events she desertéd Exupere Berbesque. He is now plaintitt for divorce on the ground of desertion in the district court of Douglas county. It & enough to make weep in their #raves the lords of Este and the counts of Toulouse and other noble patrons of old tournaments of love. —_— To Die on the Seaffold is painless, compared with the weak, lame back kidney trouble causes.

Coal dealers assert that the rise in the pricé of coal 1s not caused by the switchmen's strike, but {s simply the regu- lar winter raise. “We have kept the price at $10.50 until everyone has had an opportunity. to lay In their winter's supply and now we are making the regular winter raise, sald C. W. Hull The ‘highest point reached by hard coal | last winter was $10.50 a ton, and there it was allowed to remaln, not being reduced during the summer a8 is usually the case. The price stayed the same all summer and now that the regular ralse of 50 cents a ton 18 put into effect it makes the price higher than it has been for four years. Soft coa! was boosted some time ago. The only concesslon the coal men made this summer was in the extension of the time when the coal might be paid for. Instead of reducing the price the dealers allowed the consumer to lay in thelr wifi- ter's supply and then pay for it during the winter. The coal dealers found a reason for ad- vancing the price of soft and semi-anthra- cite some time &go when a few mihes down In Arkansas were closed for some local cause or other. Lumber 1 also' lieble to take a raise, assert ‘some of the dealers. About 40 per cent of the lumber for eastern Nebraskh comes from the north and northwest and as the Hill lines gre affected It is thought the price of lumber will be boosted up a little, because of the switchmen's strike SOMERS™ NOMINAL PLAINTIFF Has No Real Interest in the Sult to Oust Police Board, Says the Defense. ¢ The sult to declare vacant the offices of the Board of Fire and Police Commission- ers was resumed In county court for a short time Wednesday morning and then went over until Friday.

Fiddles are played by men with music of the immortal gods wrapped round their heart strings. They also have perpetual motion in each pedal, with rythmic swing and hypnotize the dancers, “I am informed there is to be one fiddler present from Missourl who Is a direct de- | Scendant of the fiddler that started things when Moses was attacked by ennul. More than two seore country fiddlers, from the farthest cross-roads of Arkansas to the swamp cabins of Tennessee, are entered for the joust.

Thus a man will have a chance to strike his stride before the { close, and T am anticipating a better time than I have had since the time I pulled off a dance of cowpunchers and Indian reservation school ma'ams out near Belle | Fourche, many a year ago.

Nelther City Treasurer Furay nor Comp- troller Lobeck have recelved returns on occupation taxes. December 1 was the date set for the returns, but the discount dates of the telephone, electric light and gas compaales are the 10th and 20th. For thiy reason the city officlals cannot figure out how the companies can poseibly make re- turns on the first of the month for the previous month's business. Wednesday afternoon an officlal of the street car company telephoned that the company, will endeavor to make its return by December 5 for the first qudrter's tax.
