TRIAL OF CASE OPENS

Personal Injuries Again After
Traction Company.

For the eighth time the suit Of Emma
Hoskovec against the Omaha d Council
Bluffs Street Railway company is being
tried before a jury in district court, Judge
Sutton presiding. After six years OF litiga-
tion the case is apparently as far from set
Element as IL ever was. Five verdicts have
been the result of the seven trials already
Miss Hoskovec has been awarded by
various juries $500. 5000 and 1900 and
twice the street railway company won out.
In each case but one the court set aside
the verdict and granted a new trial. At
the last trial the defendant was given the
verdict and Il was taken 10 the supreme
court, which reversed II and sent II back
for the trial which has just started. Once
a Juror became III after the case had been
submitted and the jury was discharged
without a verdict. Another time the jury
failed to agree on any verdict at all

DISTINGUISHED MEN ON HUNT
General Humphrey, A. ]. Dupont and
Others Go West.
MAKE STOP IN OMAHA FOR DAY
Frank Campbell EntertRina Them
Here and u. +. Ankeny Will BE
Their Host out In
wyoming.

There is one fall hunting party at least,
this year, the harmony of which will not
be disturbed by acrimonious discussion
as 10 which powder is the best.
The distinguished company spent Sunday
in Omaha and left Monday morning for the
west. 1t included General Charles f.
Humphrey, quartermaster general OF the
United States army; Alex ]. Dupont, one
of the officials of the Dupont Powder COM
pany and a brother OF United States Senp-
tor DUPONT of Delaware; Colonel J. Il,
Ewing, another blue-blooded Wilmingtonite,
and Congressman Charles cGavin of Chi
cago, a prominent worker in the deep
waterway cause.
The party. stayed at the Paxton and
was entertained during the afternoon By
Frank Campbell, is now on its way to
Wyoming, where it will be entertained dur
ing their hunt by B.. F. Ankeny, a well
known cattleman and land owner.
General Humphrey and his family are OF
course well known in Omaha, for he lived
here some years. having quarters
on Howard street. His sons, both of whom
are now in the army, attended the hisn
school and Wanita. the daughter, was a
pupil at Brownell hall.
Full Name of DuPOnt's.
The full name Of the Powder trust Of
fetal did not appear on the register of the
Paxton; 1t is not simply DUPONT but
Dupont de Nemours. The family, however,
does not use the entire name except on
such occasions of state as a wedding. but
It will be found in full on the calling cards
of the feminine members of the family at
least.
When Attorney General Bonaparte moved
against the so-called Powder trust an in
teresting historical sequence was discov-
cred. The first DUPONT de Nemours who
came to Delaware, late in the eighteenth
century, had become an expatriate through
the pernicious activity of a man none other
than Napoleon Bonaparte. The old noble

HIGH MARK ON CATTLE SALES
over Thirteen Thousand Head, with
Thirty Thousand Head of sheep,
sold at south Omaha.

Omaha, the market town" is something
more than a mere saying, as is indicated
by the sale of 1881 cattle and $1,000 sheep
at the stock yards Monday. The figures
for cattle sales establish a new record for
Omaha, the highest previous mark being
on September %, 1902, when the plumber
was l3,zS, Although 10000 sheep do not
take the prize, today's sales IN sheep are
something out Of the ordinary and a high
run for any market.
Prices on cattle are steady, those for the
feeder grades being especially strong, while
killing grades are also good and indications
are that everything will be closed out by
night.

Five thousand collars lIOHl NuS OHndna
brewers for Bryan.
Mayor Jim made that pledge to the Peer
less Leader on Saturday night, and now,
Just to show his friendship for the man OF
many views and fewer votes, he is putting
the Omaha brewers on the %gridiron and
will fry the cash out of them. The brewers
are passing it along the line, and the men
who retail the beer and who thought they
were going to get off by displaying Shall
enberger's pictures in their windows where
the screens were before, Mayor Jim
issued his order. are finding out that the
democrats need cash and don't care es-
pcially where they get IL.
AS a matter of fact, the Bryanites have
been pouring money into Nebraska at an
unusual rate. Their natural desire is that
the Peerless shall carry his home state,
and the $4,000 donations from Ryan and
Belmont of four years ago, has been du-
plicated several times during the present
struggle. 1t has been a harvest for the
hungry, for the money has been spent with
out stint, all sorts of workers being
taken care Of. The Toni Blazi incident
was but an example of the liberality with
which the democrats are conducting their
campaign. One of the minor sources Of
revenue has been the dollar fund the
World-Herald Is soliciting. All of this
money has been turned back into the state
by the national committee, and is being
used to supplement the other sources Of
supply.
But it is not enough, and !he screws are
to be put on the local liquor interests.
Shallenberger is running as a liquor man in
Douglas county, although he is a prohibit
ZIONIST outside, and Bryan is not nearly
so particular about who contributes as he
was a few weeks ago. And the brewers
and saloon keepers are to be assessed 5000
to aid in carrying the county for Bryan and
Shallenberger and democracy.
In the meantime the republicans are
carrying one a hard times" campaign,
using money only for the legitimate pur-
poses OF the committee, and rustling pretty
hard to raise that.

May Discipline Venezuela.

Wcshington.-The long pending dis.
pute with Venezuela Is to be placed in
the hands OF President Roosevelt for
settlement. The Senate has so decided
and as soon as the formal resolution
giving him full authority has been
passed. he will take it in hand Recent
ly ratified treaties compel this govern
ment to seek arbitration. but as Vene.
zucla has several times refused to ar
bitrate the claims Of American citizens
and companies, there is no doubt that
she will now consent to 1t.
In case President Castro again re-
fuses, Mr.. Roosevelt will have full
power to employ force and he will not
hesitate to do this. There is no pros
pect of anything like real war. as
few shells from an American warship
would bring the Venezuelans to terms,
and hostilties would probably consist
in the landing of few marines in Ven
ezuelan ports to seize the custom
houses.

to add 100000 acres of land to Wyom
ing's quota under the Carey desert
land act, furnished the following in.
formation in reference to the opera
tions of this act in Wyoming:
Under the provisions of this act the
state of Wyoming has already applied
for nearly 100000 acres, and surveys
are now being made and applications
prepared for additional amounts
which will far exceed the amount orig.
inally mentioned In said law. The COM
mittee is Of tie opinion that the oper
atoms of the act should not be hin.
dered or impeded and that the addi
tional acreage should be made avail
able.
"The operations Of the Carey act in
dealing with the arid lands have been
most beneficial. No person can ac-
quire under this law more than 100
acres and the whole transaction is so
guarded as to insure In the highest
degree honest operation as we'll as the
actual settlement and improvement OF
the land. This law operates to re.
claim tracts Of land where the labor
and expense is beyond the means OF
the individual settler and tracts
usually not Of sufficient area to at
tract the attention Of the reclamation

Only One AeropI lane.

WaShington-FrOm present lndlca
tions it looks as if the Wright brothers
would be the only contractors to build
a heavier than air flying machine for
the signal corps and that instead OF
having three aeroplanes this year only
one will be completed.
A. M. Herring of New York has not
signed his contract with the signal
corps, although his offer was accepted
by the government. 1t is said he may
not be able to fulfill his expectations
and may withdraw.
J. F. Scott of Chicago, who offered
to build a flying machine for $1,000.
has now announced his intention of not
keeping to his promise, on the ground
that the work will be much more ex
pensive than he imagined.
This leaves the Wright brothers
alone in the field, as they have signed
their contract with the signal corps
and have already begun work under
he specifications as laid down by the
War Department.
The machine they are to build will
cost $4,000, is guaranteed to remain
in the air at least one hour, carry two
persons of a combined weight of $40
pounds and have a speed of thir'y-six
miles an hour.
The Wright brothers machine must
pass severe tests before it is accepted.
The trial flight of this machine will
take place at Fort Myer, Virginia, not
later than August LIST next. 1t is be
lieved that the machine may be com
pleted before that date. which will be
gratifying to the government.
