Announcement. of the rhea,er..

The coming of Ben Hur' to the Boyd
theater on Monday evening for short en-
gagement has been the most important an
nouncement made for the present season.
The advance sale OF seats has been large,
indicating the great interest felt by the
public in the splendid production which has
become so we'll known throughout the
length and breadth of the land. The star
of Bethlehem and the three wise men in the
desert is one of the most impressive
tableaux ever presented. and is exceeded in
beauty only by the tableaux of the vision
of Ben Hur, showing the Mount OF Olives
and the healing of the lepers. Here the
presence of the Master is indicated by a
shaft OF bright light. while the great throng
massed on the mountain side sings "Ho-
sauna" The other scenes in the play are
equally impressive and realistic, while the
acNg company is very strong The dates
are Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday even

CREDIT Men HAVE new Plan
Would Cooperate to Save Assets in Bank

UNITED EFFORT WOULD SAVE CREDITOR,
President Austin Explains the Pro-
posed Method of Retrieving
Bad Debts In Cases of
Insolvency.
NlTeD EFFORT WOULD SAVE CREDITOR;

Credit adjustment bureaus and the ad-
visibility of organizing one among the lon-
bers of Omaha was the main topic or ms
cussion at the monthly meeting and dinner
of the Omaha Credit Mems association at
the Commercial clubrooms last night. The
members of the committee which was TO IN
form itself on the question were not pres
ent to report, and no recommendations were
made. but n dozen or more members con-
tributed information.
The object OF an adjustment bureau, as
explained by President Austin, is to take
charge Of the affairs OF firms which are
about TO become iRsolvent, and by managing
the business properly and eliminating at
torneys fees, to save as much for creditors
as possible. In most cases. IL is thought,
such a firm would rather allow the bureau
to assume management of its affairs and
satisfy the claims of creditors than to have
bankruptcy proceedings instituted. Port
land and Spokane 1obbers, said Mr.. Aus
tin who have adjustment bureaus, figure
that in such instances they get about rs per
cent of the money due them, where they got
about % per cent when affairs went into
the hands of the law. 1t was suggested
that the bureau would have TO be incOrpo-
rated. so that it could bid on stock in bank
ruptcy cases and not allow some friend Of
the bankrupt retailer to get the stock at
one-fourth its value. A local adjustment
bureau could cooperate with the bureaus
of other cities, each charging the other a
certain percentage on collections made in
territory in which it could more convent
entity operate than the other.
Bank Practice in Nebraska.
]. T. Brammann brought up the subject OF
bank exchange. Directing to the fact that
country banks charge both exchange and
collection fees on sight drafts and demand
the latter before presentation Of the draft.
Several agreed with the views of Mr..
Brammann, but Secretary Jones took the
ground that the banks only properly re-
numerate themselves for the trouble OF
collection. L. Nj. Talmage of the United
States National bank and Paul Kuhns OF
the First National said if cases are investi-
gated wherein collection charges are de-
nIanded before presentation Of the draft is
made. It will be learned that the person on
whom the draft is made has bad credit in
his home town.

JURORS co INTO ARGUMENT
Mild Sensation Created Near Clase Of the
Esids-Deright Damage Case.
ONE JUROR is EXCUSED FROM SERVICE
Attorneys Parish and Halter Are In
terrupted by Questions and Cor
rections While Presenting
Their Case to Jury.

that was probably an unprecedented
scene in Douglas county court was Wit
messed Friday afternoon in Judge Ken
nedy's room. The Judge had retired to pre-
pare his instructions while the attorneys
Messrs. Parish and Halter, were making
their arguments to the jury. The case was
the damage suit of Henry F. Heide, a
farmer. against J. J. Deright, for $500 for
injuries alleged to have been sustained by
being run into by Derights AUTOMOBILES
while driving along a public road in June,
1894 .-.-.-
Apparently in their own minds some of
the jurors had taken sides as the case de-
veloped, and the attorneys and a few spec
ators were brought to realize this fact. AS
result OF the incident one of the jurors,
Mr.. McCloud, was excused and the other
eleven were permitted, by agreement of the
attorneys, to take the case. They had not
cached verdict at late hour Friday
tight, and IL they agree will present 4
ealed verdict this morning.
How the Trouble started.
While Mr.. Parish was talking for the de-
'cnse first an Englishman. and then the
nan with the good old Scotch name cor
'ected or criticised his remarks. The lat
er Juryman wanted TO ask the lawyer some
iutSliouS ConCeTnlnS a certain experiment
he had just made on the table. and Judge
Kennedy was lied in. He told the juror
hat he could only ask questions as to tes-
dmony. and that he must reserve discussion
IN the facts or the attorneys arguments
,Or the jury room The juror sat down In
1isgust but set his jaws with an express
sion which seemed to indicate that he GER
,ainly intended to discuss some things in
he retirement of the jury room. Later he
was relieved from duty.
Some Of the jurors also took exception to
an amount spent for repairs as il was
stated by Mr.. Parish. and the latter ad-
nitted he might have been I'm error. cor
recting his figures accordingly.
Attorney Haller. while Mr. Parish was
criticising a certain witness. put in a de-
cided objection. and Judge Kennedy was
again called in. He sustained Parish's
right to criticise. but Mr.. Halter noted an
exception.

dressing the jury, he was corrected by sew

CEMENT BLOCKS

Inspector Ashford to Recon-
mend Building Regulation
Concerning New Material.

Because cement blocks as a building
material are coming into general use.
Building Inspector Ashford proposes to
recommend the PRONUNCIATION of build
Ing regulation concerning their use.
The Building Inspector has had con-
Quoted a series OF cement tests al the
Bureau OF Standards from samples TAX
en- from the new power house being
constructed by the Potomac Power
Company at Benning These tests
showed that cement blocks thirteen days
old Withstand a pressure Of 3l1z pounds
TO the square inch d. while blocks OF
twenty-four days are impervious TO any
pressure below lo6 pounds 20 the square
nch.
Inasmuch as the cost OF cement blocks
does not exceed that Of an equal amount
of brick, while the expense OF laying
them Is much lower Jhan the cost OF

March 20 he accepted position in the
plant of the defendant company AMI
was given work, of the kind done by
mechanic, which he is.
The plaintiff claims that he was I'M
familiar with the work and with tho
customs of the plant of the defendant
company. On the same day that he
went to work, in company with num-
Der of other laborers and under the di-
rection of the foreman Of the shop, he
helped to carry large sheet of metal
into the plant.
the signal of Lift high" or Cup high"
being given by the foreman all Of the
laborers raised the sheet up in the air
about the level of their heads Then
not waiting for any further signal all
having hold of the metal, except him
self, loosed their hold, allowing it to
fall against him, injuring his leg
severely. To loose their holds in this
manner was part of the customs of the
shop, the plaintiff claims.
Claiming that the company was neg
ligent in not instructing him in the sig
nails used in the plant and that it was
reasonable for him to believe as he
did that the intention was to hold the
metal in the air until attached to a
derrick, the plaintiff holds that by rea-
son of his loss of time, medical SER
vices, hospital bill, permanent injury 10
his leg, and the fact that this injury
and the physical and mental anguish
which he suffered will incapacitate
him from securing employment as a
mechanic, and will hinder him from
securing desirable appointment as a
minister of the gospel, his other avo.
cation, he has been damaged to the
amount of $4,000. He asks Judgment
for that sum, with the costs and inter.
