Case Postponed by Judge Smith B.
Mcpherson on His Own
Motion.

The trial Of JOIN c. Mabray has been
postponed from December to March 3
1910. by Judge smith y. Mcpherson OF the
federal court on his own motion.
Judge Mcpherson submits two type writ

many Of the defendants are now in other
states fighting orders Of the courts to
enable them to get to Iowa. Judge Nc
Pherson himself is holding court at Des

cember 4. which will preclude the possible.
ity Of his hearing these demurrers.
The Judge advises both sides to the case

them within the next thirty days. The
judge lays emphasis upon the fact that

Of appeals, setting aside the ruling against
the Union Pacific in the coal case Of Utah
and the report recently published Of his

Judge Sanborn's decision was a distinct
triumph for Mr.. LOOMS. Il was upon the
showing he made before the court that the
decision came. His contention was followed
out by the court and the chief points Of
law he urged furnished a ground for the
conclusions.
Nothing is known in Omaha as to what
plans are in store for the reorganization oil

belief Is gaining ground that Mr.. LOOMS

Stranger Giving His Name as Nels
Pierson Comes Near Freez-

Through the vigilance OF Policeman Wat

saved from being frozen to death in a
~snowbank near a house just across the
street from the Omaha General hospital

Pierson, it is believed, had been out in
the snow all night, until about II o'clock
Tuesday morning, when officer Waters
attention was drawn to him. Pierson was
taken to police headquarters to be de-
tanned until he recovered from the effects
of i~ntoxication.
As Officer Waters was walking along
Fourteenth street in the vicinity Of the

saw a dark object almost entirely covered
with snow. 1t was Pierson, nearly dead
with exposure. The police auto was has

WHAT COLOR TO PAINT
RUBBISH BOXES A PUZZLE
1t Vexes the brains of City Clerk
Butler and street Commits
siOner Flynn.

What color Is most appropriate for the
street corner rubbish boxes? That is the
question that is puzzling City Clerk Butler
and Street Commissioner Flynn. Butler,
being Of an esthetic cast of mind, favors
a pearl gray, with mauve stripings and
purple panels on the upper part. Mr.. Flynn
insists the original intention was TO nave
the boxes a sea green shade, but would
consent to having them painted autumn
brown, to harmonize with the asphalt
tint.
IF we make those boxes of a green color,
in any shade, we will cause them to be
mistaken for mail boxes" says the city
clerk. "They are so handy women would
be dropping their Christmas packages and
bridge invitations into them, and any man
Of experience knows that sort Of con-
tretemps would be an interminable source
of trouble. II we cannot be artistic and
have a care for the eternal v~erities, we
may at least concede something to the
growing desire that municipalities shall
set the example of having everything in
symphonic harmony. A box painted with
out regard to it's altruistlc purpose will
disturb the landscape, and won't hold any
more paper than an artistically adorned
receptacle that is pleasing to the eye, and
that appeals TO the esthetic taste so prom
inent a feature of all Omaha's public un-
dertakings. So I have about concluded to
prepare, specifications for painting the
debris dumps in a way to conceal their
rough purpose under a soft exterior"

the same is true Of the cells for male
prisoners.
III there is any authority in this depart
ment that can be brought into play iron
shutters will be placed on the new county

lists any hour may produce a fire that
will fill the building with smoke and
fumes and create a disastrous panic. The
city should find a way to provide a safe,
fireproof lookup at once"

'The supper excelled anything I have
ever seen in Nashville. The house had
double parlors downstairs. and the rooms
just above the parlor also had folding
doors between them. They went to New
Orleans and got a French confectioner
to prepare the supper. The table was
set upstairs In the room over the parlor.
The folding doors were open, and the
table extended from one room to the
other At each end the table was set
in the shape of a cross. and where the
table WENT through the folding doors there
was large pyramid, which was at least
three feet high, made Of a beautiful jel-
ly put In glasses. Dispersed all over the
tables were vases of beautiful artificial
flowers. with glass globes over each
vase. The candlesticks were of silver.
and each one held three beautiful wax
candies. Long leaves were cut out of It's
sue paper. dipped in spermaceti, and COW
cred with isinglass. which made them
look like crystallized candy. These were
put around each candle and hung down
over the candlestick On one Of the ta-
bles were all kinds. OF large and small
cakes. confectionery and fruits. They
had dancing downstairs.
