Neilsen, has brought suit in the district Court against Nellsen for §1,000 damages. In his petition Dmerson alleges that the | accident was du. to the gross carelessness of Neilsen in driving his motoreycle [ through a business street at a high ra of speed. Emerron states that he was seriously cut and bruised about the head and face, and was rendered unconscious for some time. On application of thé plain- tiff, Judge Wheeler issued an attachment against the property of Neilsen to the amount of $.000, on Emerson's allegation that Neflsen was about to place his prop- erty beyond the reach of creditors. The bottom again fell out of the docket yesterday and Judge Wheeler was forced to excuse the jury until Monday. sult of John Nelson against the Omahu & Council Bluffs Street Rallway company involving & claim for damages to property, by alleged interference with drainage by assigned for trial yesterday and agreement had beon made to.try it to & jury of eleven men when announcement was made that & séttlement would be reached out of court The Jury which had been empaneled accordingly discharged. The case of M. Weatherbee against John Metcalf was settled out of court and & judgment for $100 entered against the de- fendant by agreement. | The peysonal injury damage suit of James | Wiatt against W. A, Maurer was continued |until June 10, by agreement. Wiatt sus for damages for being struck by an auto- | mobile driven by Maurer. | The announcement that Judge Wheeler | had continued the tria\ of Fred Fowler, | under indictment on & charge of eriminal assault of a l13-year-old girl, to the Sep- tember term appears to have been pre- mature. Yesterday County Attorney Hess filed a resistance to the motion for a con- tinuance. In his rosistance the country torney states that four months have elapsed since the Indictment was returned and that the defendant has had plenty of time In' which te prépare his defense; fur- ther that the two witne: thentioned in the deténdant's motion for & continuance are residents of Florence, Neb., and .that the defendant has plenty of time in which to secure their attendance at this term or In which to secure thelr depositions. County Attorney Hess on behalf of the state offers to walve time in taking these despositions “'tv the end that a speedy trial may be obtained." 1t is likely that the motion will be argued before Judge Wheeler this morning. Many More Names Are Added to Lists Extension of Time for Census Report Great Aid to the Enumerator. Tae extension of time in which to com- plete the census of Councll Bluffs will ex- pire tonight, by which time the eénumera- tion must be completed. 1t will be several weeks before any authentic informatlon of the population of the city can be ob- tained. The enumerators under the rules of the census bureau are strictly forbid- den to give out any information and con- sequently all so-called estimates of the count here and in other cities are merely the result of guess work. Elmer E. Smith, of this eity, who was appointed special agént for Council Bluffs by Supervisor Larsen sald yesterday, ''No information as to the number of names added to the count in Council Bluffs can be given out as the rules of the cénsus bureau prohibita it. 1it can be stated, however, that the number is & substantial one and that the work which has been done since the extension of time was granted, as been well worth whife. The enumerators have been working rapidly this week in Council Bluffs and Mr. Smith sald they would complete their work Saturday night without difficulty, The use of automobiles offered by mem- bers of the Commercial club to assist in closing up t he enumeration today, Mr. Smith sald would not be probable.

Voting Machine to Settle Big Contest Wise Fair Attraction Proving One of Best Features of Many Offered at Bazar. The voting machine at the Wise Memorial hospital fair and basar at the Krug theater kept up a continuous click last night and proved one of tne best attractions. It now appears that the question who shall be the next candidates for president, United Staies senator and governor of Nebraska will be defifitely settled before the fair ends and that the problem of woman suf- frage will no longer worry the people of Omana, The crowd was again a good one and spent its money liberally. The attendance increases as the fair progresses and this afternoon and tonight is expected to be the largest of the carnival. The school children are to be admitted free during the afternoon and evening and Manager Cole has fixed up a splendid program for their entertainment. The doll booth, the menagerie, the candy booth, the toy booth and numerous other attractions will. be fitted up especially for the edification and entertainment of the youngsters. There will be an interesting vaudeville entertain- ment and seats will be free. The committee s still receiving many donations from outside towns which did not reach here before the bazar was opened and Fred Busch is sending out his wagon daily to bring in new donations. Many of these donations were shipped from every part of the country and it was presumed they would reach Omaha before the fair began. Last night's offering in the way of en- tertainment Included a real buck and wing dance in which Prof. Chambers and “Billy” ‘ole had places of prominence.

Washington BY CONSTANCE CARRUTHERS WASHINGTON, May .—(Special patch to The Bee)—That branch Washington Sociely interested in art 18 looking forward with much interest to the third blennial exhibition of contemporary American oll paintings which will be held December of next yeer. That sounds pretty far ahead, but preparations for the exhibition have been forward this long time, and allow me to say, that it will be the most artistic event ever held in Washington. Invita- tions, through the various legations and embassies, will be extended to all the fa- mous artists in foreign countries. Judging trom the two prior exhibitions a great number of out-of-town visitors will view the paintings, for in the other two exhibi- tions more than 100,000 people attended each. Fifty plctures, worth more than $100,000, were sold. Senator Clark of Montana, who has de- veloped an artistic instinct since he ceased accumulating millions, has offered $10,000 for the four best American olls. The jury, #0 far as it is selected now, will comprise such famous painters as F. D.

You see, when Wash- ington officially and socially is & world to be conqiiered, it is quite an impossible task for one who begins at the end of one of the most active social seasons.
