German Death Test.
rrom "a. Scienhhn Am1nnnn.

From ne Scientific American.
Although II is asserted by nearly every
practising physician that the possibility OF
being buried alive can only occur where q
medical examination has not been made an
eminent German physician and surgeon states
that a stronger. absolutely reliable guarantees
for discerning actual death is still demanded,
and the demand has been met by the dis
covery of a new medium for aecertaining
death with perfect certainty.
This new death test consists In injecting
a solution Of fuorescine deep into the tissues.
II circulation exists the skin and mucous
eyes assume the color Of emeralds; II the
circulation has ceased none Of these results
occur.
The discoverer proposes that at least two
hours before the body Ia placed in a CONN
such. an injection with huorescine be made.
II life IL not yet extinct the injection does
no harm and the colorinR within a short time
entirely disappears without the slightest In
jury TO the patient.

DISAPPOINTMENT OF COAL CASE
Absence of Attorney Causes Delay OF
Observation-Disclosures Case in
Federal Court.

The hearing in the matter Of the in
junction of the ]. e. Woodland & Co., coal
company against the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railroad company, to restrain
the latter company from appropriating the
coal of the plaintiffs entrusted TO the rail-
road company for shipment came up for
hearing Saturday morning before Judge
Munger in the United States circuit court
and has been continued over until Monday
morning. The postponement is owing to the
unavoidable absence of the principal at
torney for the coal company, who expected
TO reach Omaha Saturday morning from
Chicago, but missed his train. c. ]. Greene
and James f. Keby, attorneys for the
railroad company, were present in court
and were insstent that the hearing should
go on But Judge Munger thought other
wise and decided to continue the case until
the first thing Monday morning. The rea-
pany were alleged to be that the con-
tinuance Of the restraining order until the
case could be heard on it's merits on the
application for temporary injunction on
January II, was working a hardship on
the railroad company.
Judge Munger remarked: "I cannot SEQ
that any serious hardship will result to
anybody by letting the matter go over
until Monday. Missing a train is a cir
cumstance that is liable to happen to any
one and in justice to the attorney for the
plaintiffs the case will be heard the first
thing Monday"

The distribution Of Christmas baskets TO

made under the supervision of Captain and
Mrs. O'Neill.
The Volunteers headquarters at III North

distribution of the 200 or more baskets Of
provisions. Each basket was filled to over
flowing with groceries and meats, consist
ing Of apples, canned vegetables and fruit,
potatoes, oatmeal, coffee sugar, bacon.
with a chicken or turkey TO each basket.
The distribution was made by tickets which
had first been sent out 10 deserving needy
families whose condition mad been ascer-
tained by the officers Of the Volunteers.
Such of the ticket holders as were sick
and unable to go to headquarters were
supplied by agents from Volunteer head
quarters, the distribution being made by
wagon The distribution continued from
until o'clock.
Captain ONeill said:
Most Of the supplies. as you see. are
Of the best class, which we bought though
we received many donations from the
grocers. The funds were derived from vol
untary contributions made on the streets
to our chimneys on the street corners,
and cash donations from other sources.
We did not give a dinner Christmas day,
as the Salvation army had that day for
their Christmas offerings We ordinarily
give a free Thanksgiving dinner, but we
did not arrive here in Omaha in time for

that the merchants meetings in Omaha

few days ago the merchants all over the
country were fearful that the jobbers in

It possible 70 hold the meetings on account
of an Interpretation placed by the rail-
roads on a ruling OF the Interstate Com
MERGE commission.
The railroads proposed not to grant any
rates until 100 certificates had been vail
dated. This would have killed the meet
ings at all jobbing points, as the early
corners cannot be made to wait until 100
retailers arrive at market.
Recently the railroads secured a favor
able opinion from one Of the members OF
the commission and announced that the
meetings could be held, under the guaranty
of the jobbers' associations that the at
tendance would reach 100. The local or
ganization jumped at the chance and the
merchants will have their reduced rates.
Dates for First Meeting.
The dates for the first meeting will be

A rate of one and one-ifth fare for the

The invitations sent out call attention to
the growth of Omaha a jobbing center,
the building of new wholesale houses and
the accompanying enlargement of stocks
from which to select, also the fact that
thirteen lines of railroad running out of
the city give assurance of prompt delivery
These meetings will have no effect on

fares between January Is and April l. Dur

all cases where they are equalleG by 2 per

In coming on the dates of the meetings
