COTTON.

Another duh and undressing week
characterized the spot market. There was
but little business done. The long looked
for advance did not come, but instead, the
controlling became depressed, notwith-
standing the buying of stops at Liverpool,
the small port receipts, and the increased
talk of a short crop. The local market
weakened along with futures and on ThurS-
day the prices declined 1-l6c in all grades.
Some sales of about 1000 bales, had been
made at the decline. on Wednesday. To-
day, the influence of the panic in the New
1ork stock exchange, causing a decline in
futures, of IA to l6 points early in the day,
caused a decline in the local spot market.
At the opening the market was quiet and
easy and unchanged At the midday call,
II was l-l6c lower for all grades, and at
the close, 1-16c lower for all grades, ex-
cePt good ordinary, the latter remaining
unchanged.

GRAND JURY MUST INQUIRE
Benton's Qualifications as Juror in 0utoalt
Case Questioned,
JUDGE ORDERS AN INVESTIGATION
Directs the United states Attorney
to Cause the Grand Jury to
Determine Whether Tom
Benton is Competent.

In the interval between the dismissal of one
witness and the calling Of another in the
outcalt case in federal court yesterday after
neon, Judge Dundy made remarks officially
indicating that the grand jury was not done
with the case.
Mrs. King, who, in 1886, had deposited in
the Capital National bank of Lincoln IS, 900
in her husbands name, had been on the
stand. When her testimony was concluded
Oscar Funk, one of the tellers in the bank,
was called.
Before he gave his testimony Judge Dundy
called attention to newspaper statements
sitting in the case was on account Of his
prejudice, not qualified to serve, and directed
that the United States attorney bring the
matter before the grand jury, the party in
dicated being Thomas II. Benton, ex-auditor
of state. The inquiry was to be whether
Outcalt, particularly, had any influence on
any member of the jury.
In response to the remarks of the Judge
District Attorney Sawyer said that he would
do his duty.
The inquiry, because the trial of the case
is in progress, will be taken up today.
1t will be remembered that Benton was
called after the last peremptory challenges
had been exercised, and he stated under oath
that he could act as fair and impartial
Juror,
He took the place of Mr.. Herdman, an at
torney, who was objected to by Mr.. Burr,
attorney for Outcalt because he was an at
torney.

Suddenly Deprived of street Cars and
Electric Lights.


BEATRICE, Dec. 2.-(Spscal Telegram J.
Beatrice is without street lights tonight, and
will be without electric cars after this date
This condition Of things is the result of the
failure upon the part of the city council and
the Beatrice Electric company to agree upon
a price for the lighting. The contract ex-
pired Saturday night. but the company ex-
tended the time until today noon apon the as
surances from certain citizens that a meeting
would be held this forenoon for the purpose
of Indicating to the council what was con-
sidered the best method of getting out Of the
dilemma. The meeting was held in the
city hail, and was largely attended, but re-
suited only in the appointment of commit
tee, consisting of p. d. Sprague, w. o. WOrs-
wick and Willis Ball to investigate as to the
cost Of the city putting in Lighting plant of
its own, in connection with the water works
plant. and thus the matter stands. There
seems to be but little hope Of compromise
between the city and the company, and the
manager Of the latter states emphatically
that 80 long as they do not have the contract
for lighting the city no motor cars will be
operated. In their stead horse cars will be
operated, running over the line only enough
to hold the companys franchise.
