Omaha, Neb., Sept. 16. Dr. J. T.
Mathews, 11 physician having an office
on the fourth floor of the New York
Life building, was arrested this after
noon, charged with having performed
a criminal operation that is alleged
to have led to the death of Mrs. Anna
Waggoner last Sunday afternoon at
her rooms in the Anderson b'ock at
the corner of Sixteeth and Dave lport
street.
Mrs. Waggoner was formerly a
resident of Weeping Water, where
she had separat d from her husband
and was living with the family of her
father, Peter Anderson. About two
months ago she came to Omaha, and
soon afterw.trus . Dr. t,. Uapin was
called to treat her for influenza, which
she claimed to be the nature of her
ailment. Later Dr. Mathews at
tended her until her death last Sun
day., A coroner's jury investigated
the circumstances surrounding her
death and found that two doctors had
been attending her the jury failed to
fix the responsibility thereto.. County
Attorney Bald ridge was absent fiom
the city at the tkne, and when he re
turned vesterdav he found that
his assistant had accumulated 6uffi
cient evidence to warrnnt the arrest
of Dr. Mathews. Up to this evening
the accused was in custody.

Several members of the Frauenver
ein m-iue up a pleasant surprise on
Mrs. Fred Ebinger Wednesday even
ing that proved quite enjoyable for
all concerned. Tbe guests took well
tilled baskets along, and a nice supiei
was served.
Among those present were Messrs
and Mesdames Wm. Hassler. John
Sattler, Wm. Weber, E. Wurl, Mrs.
Brinkman, Miss Eidman. Mrs. Gall
and sister of Havelock; Mrs. Kohnke,
Mrs. Phil Thierolf, Misses Anna
Weidmann, Louise Ebinge and others
whose names we did not learn.
Mrs. Ebinger was taken entirely by
surprise, but the guests were wei
corned none the less henrtilv on that
account. Music and general conver
sation made the lime pass very
quickly, and before returning home
all agreed the visit -hbd been most
enjoyable.
A Serious Joke.
Young Mansfeld, the eighteen-year
old son of Dr. Mansfeld, at-Ashland,
while out fishing the other evening,
eonceived that the idea that it would
be a great joke to hold up the Schuy
ler passenger train. He got in the
middle of tbe track when tbe train
came along and by waving bis hands,
got the engineer to slow up, and then
took a laugh at the expense of the
of the train crew. Tbe matter whs
reported to headquarters, and the Hoy
was threatened with art est, and after
he got out of that, the postoffice de
partment took the matter up and held
a special investigation,an officer being
sent out to conduct it. The boy be
gan to think he was slated for tbe
penitentiary, and a worse scared lad
would be hard to find. By the inter-
ssion of friends he finally escaped
punishment, but it is safe to say he
will not meddle with any more trains.
The Fair.
A few nice exhibits in art hall and
in the horticultural hall were worth
looking at, but the center of attrac
tion was the races. Some really fast
horses have been entered and this.
afternoon and Saturday afternoon, the
best racing ever seen in tbe county.
will take place. Several horses are
here with records under 2.20, and one
baa a record of 2.091. The track if in
fine condition, and a large crowd is in
attendance this afternoon which will
be augmented tomorrow.
THE AK-SAR BEN PARADE-
Tlie History of Quivera to be AlleBorloly
Represented Thnrsdty Night.
On Thursday night, September 23,
will occur the Knights of Ak-S:ir-Buo
parade. This will consist of twenty-
one floats of traminoth proportions
and handsome design, entirely differ
ent from anything ever placed on the
streets of any other oity. The floats
will allegorically present the history
of Quivera, the fabulous title applied
to this region.
The history of Quivera may be di
vided into six periods. It begins a
score of years after the conquest of
Mexico by Cortez. Though an enemy
of Conqueror Cortez, Nunez de Guz
man was appointed by the Spanish
government to protect that govern
ment from the greed of Cortez, likely
to make itself manifest in tbe king
dom of Quiver.i unless placed under
restraint. Guzman owned a slave who
conceived a plan of ridding Mexico of
its Spanish invaders by inducing them
to travel toward this beautiful bit of
country, which he' represented to
Guzman in a most wonderful word
pictire. (JuzniuQ sent 11 parly to the
supposed kingdom of the north to
despoil the Seven Cities of Cibulii,
Kingdom of Quiveru, as told by the
slave to exUt, with instructions to
take possession of the same in the
name of Spain. Before success at
tended bis efforts Guzman was de
deposed, ai d Francisco Va-quez de
Coroudo, brilliant cavalier of the
Spanish dynasty, succeeeded him.
Ambitious to the extreme, Corondo,
in the spring of 1514, with 300 Span
iards and about 800 natives, Blurted
for the conquest of the country which
the tales of the reluming travelers
chronicled as beiug far beyond their
most vivid anticipations.
PROGRKSS OF IIISTOHY.
The second period in the- history of
the kingdom is that commencing with
the year of 1714, whon Spanish rule
began to give place to the government
of the Man of Destiny.
The third period covered by the
theme is that when Columbia, with its
clarion note of freedom, signals to tho
world that home nnl opinion shall be
subject to no rule except that of the
individuals by whom they are created.
A fourth period occurs in 1804, when
juewis anu nark maue tneir memor
able excursion into the unknown nnd
inhospitable west. Their hard.-hips
and their conquests are agnin lived
through in pictorial representation.
A fifth period of the theme shows
the kingdom of Quivera entering into
the dignity of statehood, its civiliza
tion complete, lis prosperity in the
near future, its hardships atoned by
approaching comfort and complete
happiness of its people.
The concluding period of this his
torical sketch will represent the re
turn of prosperity to the people of
Quivera. The horn of plenty of Ak
Sar-Ben III, the richness of the agri
cultural products of his kingdom and
the wealth now obtained for the
same will be upptopi iately depicted
The revival of the manufacturing nr.d
the commercial industries will tieue
line ted, and tho prosperous condition
of tho subjects of the realm will be al
legorically portrayed.
On Friday night, September 24, will
be held the grand ball of the Knights
of Ak-Sar-Ben. This will take pli.ee
in the den of the knights, and will be
attended by the youth and beauty of
the trans-Missouri country. Seve-al
improvements have been made in the
immense coll iseum that will be greatly
appreciated by those who will attend
the ball. ' Especial attention has been
given to the enlargement of the car
riage entianco, and arrangements
nave been perfected for tho more ex
peditious ingress and egress of dune
ers man nave nereioioro Deen pos
sible.
rUNS FOIl THE BALL.
A meeting of tho Knights of Ak
S ir-Ben who will serve as members of
the floor committee at the grand ball
was held in the office of General John
C. Cowin last evening. Edward Por
ter Peck is chairman of this commit
tee and has for bis assistants twenty
five young knights of Omaha Fort
Crook, Council Bluffs and Soutl
Omaha. It was resolved that the
greatest attention possible should this
year be devoted to tbe entertainment
of the visiting young women, and it
will be the duty of the members of
the floor committee to see that all
members of the court party, and
most especially those from out of the
city, are properly cared for and their
programs agreeably filled.
Th6 ball will be opened by the en
trance of the king and queen and the
appropriate drill of the other mem
bers of the royal party and 100 knights
in costume Following tbe enthrone
ment of the king and queen there will
be a concert of a half dozen - numbers.

will alternate, and there will then be
continuous danciner, as the concert
numbers will be in the form of dance
music.

the floor of coliseum, with a view to
making It as smooth as possible for
dancing. On the night ol the ball the
floor will be heavily crashed. The
programs this year will be of most at
