AT MANAWA SUNDAY.
EIephants' Swimming Race.

It has been a very long time since in
terest and excitement has been aroused in
Omaha and Council Bluffs by any event
like unto that being manifested in the
elephant race and aquatic performance
that will take place at Manawa Sunday
afternoon, June 20. The street railway COM
pany is figuring seriously to solve just how
II can handle the big crowds should the
weather be fine that day, for estimates of
the number of people that will want to see
this rare event is variously estimated from
fifty to seVenty-five thousand people. The
old power house on the Iowa side of the
river that was shut down several months
ago will be started up again to add it's
power TO that supplied from the new power
house in Omaha, which will give a current
capable of pulling cars as close as they
can be run together and every available
car from the different lines will be placed
in the extra service on the Manawa line
The sixteen elephants will make the plunge
driven by their native Cingalese drivers
at D. m. Then the fun will start, as the
big beasts throw water with their trunks
high into the air like fountains or squirt
| into each others eyes. Several will oc-
casionally join in ducking another animal
| and when he emerges with trampled dignity
his screeches can be heard for a great dis
| tance. The swimming race between several
| OF the herd is the feature event however.
| The sight of herd of elephants in water
| is indeed rare in this part of the world
and 1t is just about as interesting from
| an educational standpoint as from the
| spectacular old and young will give it theft
| attention. 1t seems as though 1t is really

Desperate Duel On Street Car.

New YORK, Oct. 22.-Three men
fought a battle with pistols on an
Eighth avenue a today, and all OF
them were seriously injured. While

at top speed for half a mile, the gong
sounding an alarm and the passengers
lying fat ON the floor to escape the

was pursued by a gang who intended
to kill him. a moment later two more
men leaped on the car and attacked
the first, all three using revolvers.
When their weapons were emptied they
clinched and fought with the butts OF
their pistols. The car rushed along
the avenue, the motorman pounding
the gong and the conductor shouting
for the police as far as Twenty.sixth
street. where several policemen board
ed 1t and seized the three combatants,
all of whom were too badly injured to
offer resistance.

4 Honolulu Beef Trust.

HONOLULU, Oct. 2l.--United States
District Attorney Breckons has filed a
suit against the alleged local beef
trust. 1t is charged that an unlawful
combination is controlling the bust.
ness here and charging oppressive and
exhorbitant rates for beef. The list
Of defendants includes President of the
Territorial Senate Isenberg, Speaker
Of the house Knudson, Senators Achi,
Baldwin, McCandless, Paris and Will
con-, ex-Supreme Justice Perry, Sher.
if Brown, the w. G.. Irwin company.
President Damon of Bishops bank and
Samuel Parker. Altogether there are
IS defend ants, including many big
corporations.
The complaint alleges that Honolulu
uses annually about 40, 600 pounds of
beef, 80 per cent OF which is sold by
the defend ants through the Metropoli-
tan Meat company. 1t is further al.
legged that an agreement has been en-.
tered into for the control of the supply,
and to withhold cattle from the mar.
ket in order to create u scarcity and
raise prices uureasonably. 1t is as.
serted that prices have been raised
from - to 80 per cent. as u result of
the alleged unlawful agreement.

Il SEEK DELAY.
Defendants In Beef Trust Cases CHALLENGE
Jurisdiction of the Court.

CHICAGO. Oct. 23.-All the indicted
packers this morning entered pleas
denying the jurisdiction of the court.
The defend ants pleaded not guilty.
Their attorneys claim that the United
States lacks jurisdiction: that there is
no law providing for the conviction
and punishment for alleged violations
of the interstate commerce act. The
attorneys asked that all the defend.
ants be dismissed from custody. The
attorneys further declare that the gov.
ernment had exhausted its remedies
when it secured an injunction under
the antitrust laws. They stated that
the election of tina. remedy precludes
the legality of a criminal proceeding
against them.
A special plea in bar and an addi-
tional special plea were filed by coun.
sci for the packers. The nature of the
special plea was a surprise to the gov
eminent officials, although they were
aware of what would be pleaded in the
additional plea, the issuance of an in-
junction by Judge Grosscup.
The special plea sets up assertions
concerning Investigations by the com.
missioner of corporations and alleges
the defendants were compelled to testi-
fy and to produce certain books and
other data, and that thereafter the
matter was submitted to the president
Of the United States and finally to the
United States district attorney and
the district attorney used the material
In seeking indictments against the de-
PENDANTS. Because Of these alleged
facts, the defendan ask that the in.
dictment be dismissed.
Regarding the Grosscup injunction,
the plea filed today says that by the
prosecution of the injunction and the
entry of a final decree by the supreme
court, "the said United States OF
America" did finally and fully elect
to pursue that remedy and not to pro.
secute these defendants respectively
on account of the said supposed con.
spiracies."
The special plea in bar declares
that the 5Sth congress of che United
States passed a resolution declaring
the secretary OF m and labor
Empowered to investigate the cases of
low prices in beef cattle and the al.
legged unusually large margin between
cattle prices and the cost of dressed
meat to the consumer. The secretary's
investigation included the transac
tions averred in the Indictment.

Will Build Big Dam.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-On October
70 a board Of consulting engineers of
the United States reclamation service
will meet at Belle Fourcne, S.. D., to
consider proposals for the construc.
ton OF one Of the most stupendous
pieces OF work yet planned by that bu.
reau. The work referred to is the con.
struction of the great earthen dam
which will create the impounding res.
ervoir OF the Belle Fourche project
and seventeen and 4 half miles of ca
nails through which it is hoped to dis.
tribute water to about 20, 900 acres of
land in 1906.
The dam will be one of the largest
earth embankments ia the world. It
will be p hundred feet high in the
highest place, and one mile long, with
a top width OF twenty feet, and will be
completely paved with stone to a depth
OF eighteen inches. The conduit, or
controlling gates, will be placed in a
concrete we'll located in the center OF
the MI, connecting with the reservoir
and the distributing canal by q three.
inch arch concrete conduit of sufficient
capacity to fill the canal when the res.
ervoir is low. Three steel gates will
control the outflow. When the reser-
voir Is full the area of the water sur.
face will be sixty fee: deep. The ma.
terial available for construction is
clay, containing a small quantity OF
gravel, and is situated in high hills at
each and, making it mos, convenient
for handling.
