The wild Cossacks, living away down

empire, spend most Of their time har-
RAISING the Turks. They are particu-
larly savage in appearance Their uni
form is the Cossack coat, full trousers,
scarlet undercoat hooked up to the neck,
big boots, and rs an overcoat they wear
bourka, a circular cloak made of
coarse felt with long, shaggy hair on
one side of it. This cloak is big enough
horse. The most distinctive point in
their dress, however, is the cylindrical
hat of black astrachan which they wear
at all seasons. The top is Of cloth or
velvet. They form part of the Russian
cavalry and live principally on plunder,
stealing, during their raids into Turkey,
anything they can find, from chicken
to child.

Domestic soap is the pest.
Undermined the Vault.

For the third time within three months
the bank OF +. Il. Hart on South Main street
was broken into and robbed Monday night.
The burglars took a new way of getting in
this time by boring 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
interior of the building and the arrangement
of the things inside the vault. There is no
steel lining to the vault, so that when the
marauders got their hole bored through the
masonry they had no trouble in working
their way through. A pile of old clothing
was thrown down on the ground for the
bricks to drop on 80 that the noise of their
operations might not reach passersby on
the street. Once inside the burglars picked
up small sack containing about IS in
change and made of with it, not disturbing
another thing inside the safe. The police
have clew to the perpetrators which they
are following with the hope of capturing the
guilty parties.

Dick Landon and Dutch Boynton were up
before Judge McGee yesterday morning in
police court for hearing on the charge of
robbing a young man named Mulvany on the
public highway. Mulvany told his story in
n straightforward way and fully identified
the two men in custody as portion of the
crowd that did the job. There were several
women with the two men at the time of the
robbery, and as their testimony was cousid-
cred of n good deal of Importance, a contin-
uanco was granted until this morning in
order that they might be on hand. During
the afternoon the police ran across the
women and brought them to the city build
ing. AS the city has considerable trouble
with witnesses of that character being
spirited away Just before trial, they were
put under lock and key in the city jail. The
hearing will go ON without any doubt this

just at this particular time is a question that
bothers great many people, but develop

for that will give some idea as to the nature
of the knothole which the company is max

the morning that the company, in it's won
derful wisdom, had found some way by
which it could charge cents for all passen-
gers on Upper Broadway to eirl street,
and 10 cents more from that point to
Omaha. This, however, was IA mistake, as
the company has so far made no effort to
raise its prices.
1t is understood that the city officials will
make no effort to enforce the new ordinance
but will leave that in the hands of the COM

Cattle Case Decided.

Judge Deemer held a short session Of the
district court yesterday and rendered de-
cision in the famous case of II. l.. Henry
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 cattle venture in which the plain
tiff and defendants We're 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
to have been in with them in another VEN
tnre later on was controverted by the de-
fendantS the court appointed l.. w. Ross
referee and instructed him to ascertain the
facts in the case and the amount, ii there
was any, that was due Henry.
The report of the referee was submitted to
the court about eighteen months ago and has
been held under advisement by Judge Deemer
ever since. In it he found that the partner
ship did not extend beyond the limits of the
Oregon venture and fixed $4,000 as the
amount which Henry was entitled to re-
ceive. In his decision rendered yesterday
Judge Deemer sustained the referees report
in every particular, and overruled the mo-
tion of the plaintiff for a setting aside of the
report. He handed down a judgment Tor
the sum of 81 600 in Henry's favor and
ordered the costs to be paid by the plaintiff
and defendant half and half. Referee Ross
was allowed 81 900 as his fec The decision
is highly satisfactory TO the defendants, as
the Oregon deal and had made him tender
of his share of the proceeds of tho deal, which
was refused.

HYPNOTIZING a WITNESS.
Here's Pretty Line of Possibilities for
Legal Complications.

Here's u Pretty Line OF Possibilities for
Legal Complications.
DR.. j. S. Wintermute, complainant in
a Sal 900 damage suit against James
Stinson, Chicago stUckman, on trial al
Tacoma, was accused in the United
States court of hypnotizing a witness
who was on the stand. Wintermute is
said to be able to mesmerize and hypno-
tie people.
Stinson sent him lot of blooded
horses a couple of years ago. They
were placed on Wintcrmute's farm for
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 nom
suit, and Stinson, who had engaged able
counsel, began to introduce his evidence.
One OF his witnesses could not re-
member" lie halted and hesitated re-
peatedly, and finally Stinson told the
court the witness was being hypnotized
by the complainant, Wintermute. Judge
Sanford did not seem to consider the
objection seriously. The examination
was ordered continued and the witness
asked more questions, but he still
seemed infused Again Stinson arose
and called the courts attention to the
witnesses 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
positive he had the witness under his
influence, Today he placed. himself be-
tween the doctor and the witness. The
latter then frightened up and rubbed
his eyes and reused himself.
