Tnnner Charles Miller , who resides cloven miles coutliwcst of the city , on the road to Dcnton , was nwnltonod ntan early hour this mornlnK by a commotion among his fowls. Ho arose and pot to the window just In tlmo to sco two men In a top bupfcy ilrlvo oft towards the city. Ho quickly dressed , and mounting n liorso , took upthochaso. The fellows drove pretty fast , and It was not until the city wns In Bl ht thnt ho caught ngllmpio of the fellows. Miller wns unarmed , and his onlv resource wna to follow the fellows. Abies took his portion of tlio plunder to ft mnnll house near Salt ercolt , south of A nnil near Second street. Punnlrtgton took Ills purl to his honioon Salt creek , near E street. Miller stood puard until ho could secure the services of ioino ono to notify the police. Sflrpciint Miller and Dotectlvo Mnlono went down nnd searched Abie's house , but finding nothing of the fowls , wcro about to plvoup the searcb , when they thought of the Rnrrot. They mounted Into the loft , and there fauna some of the fowls with their ncclawrmiK. AvUtt was next made to Pcnnlngton's place and the liouso and barn were both thoroughly searched , but no traces of the chickens could bo found. The creel : runs past the barn , and whllo exploring that portion tion of tlio place Detective Malone found the fowls. I'cnnlngton's scheme of hiding them was very unique. Ilotmdput the chickens in n bair , cut u hole In the "Ice , and moored the batr underneath.

The fellows will answer before Judge Toxworthv. IIOIIN WAS THE Cl-U'KIT. In this morning's ' BEE there was nn error In the account of the Horn case. It was made to appear that Charles B. Pierce , the cashier of tlio bank , was the culprit whoa In fact ho. wna not. Theodore Horn , jr. , is the fellow who got the money under false pre tenses from the bank and Pievco was the man who swore out the warrant for the fel low's arrest. The mistake was most unfor tunate. ns Mr. Pierce Is n young man of un blemished character ami of known integrity. - * " " - TODNd TIIIKVE3. Yesterday afternoon three young boys en teredV. . F.

Mayor Custitng's Ijcttor Holatlvo to n Monument to Ocnoral Croolc. The letter of Miyor Cashing to the city council , suggesting the propriety of erecting a monument to the memory of Qoner.U George Crook , and naming a commission to carry out the plan , has touched a popular chord. J. S. Collins , ono of the commissioners named , said lastevening : "Whllo I was in no wise anxious to servo upon such n com mission , I nm pleased to Know that the cltl zens of Omaha are alive to the interests of paying a proper tribute to ono of thn grandest of men. I knew General Crcok well , having been personally acquainted with him formoro than llfteen years. Ho was a most genial gentleman , n bravo general , a good cltL- zcn and as gentle ns a child. Many a tlmo ho has sat In my store , nnd when the old veterans who served under him would coino In , ho would converse with tnom as freely as though they were officers of a rank as high ns his own. "Regarding a monument , I hardly know what to say , though nftei- convoying his body to Cleveland for burial I commenced to civo tlio matter some tuought , and after looklncr through numerous cemeteries , I nm of the opinion thnt for ,000 , we can place a life-size bronze fipu re upon a stone base. This would bo quite cheap nnd very appropriate. I would have the statue in citizen's ' garb , asbutfow mou over saw the general in uniform. In my long acquaintance with him , hut twice did 1 see him in the uniform of his rank , nnd ho al ways appearing before the people of this city us a civilian , ho would be better known as I have described. "Regarding iho locution , I would say , by nil means erect the monument in Jefferson square. 1 cannot say what the vlows ot the other mcmboraof the committee may bo , but era long wo shall have a meeting and then decide upon what wo want. " George W. Lmlngor said : "I know noth ing about my nppolntmcnt-untll I saw Mayor Cnishlng's ' letter , published yesterday lu Tan BEE , but I ossuro you it will give mo great pleasure to act with the other members of the committee. I have always regarded Gen eral Crook as ono of Omaha's most honored citizens , a gallant officer and ono of the greatest Indian tightbrs the world bus over known. For this reason ! most emphatically say that Omaha should foci proud In having an opportunities of erecting a monument to his memory. It should bo in the center ot Jeffer son squnro , and considering his deeds of valor , I nm of the opinion it should represent him as a general. A group would bo very attractive and pleasing to tlio oyo. Lot the central figure bo the general nnd havn about him the figures of some Indians. This would always bring to the mind of ttio observer his record as n warrior. "I would have it llfo slzo upon a grnnlto base. In fact , I would have thu whole thing of granite , taken from the Ilocky Mountains. "Wo have some sculptors In the west , who nro artists in their line and 1 am confident such a monument as I have spoken of could bo completed at a cost not to exceed $10,000 , and possibly much cheaper. "At the next meeting of the Art associa tion I shall ask for sketches , which may provo of some help to the committee. My ideas ns given I shall not Insist upon * being carried out , oa I have not talked with any of the members of the commlttoo and do 'not know what they propose. " John A. Crelghton said.1 "I know nothing about my appointment until I road TUB BEE , and consequently am not prepared to speak. However , I favor a monument In Jefferson squnro and shall bo glad to act in conjunction with the balance of the commlttoo.

Mr. Bailey Is n farmer living at Bloomlngton and was a member of the lower house of the legislature in 1837. A CHANGE AT PISE JllDOK. At the direction of the president Cantaln Pierce of the First cavalry will take charge of the Pine Kidgo agency. Captains Ewers of thn Fifth , Earnest of the Eighth and Leo the Ninth Infantry arc also assigned to agency duty , to bo placed as General Miles muy direct. It appears that Agent Roycr has not given satisfaction to either the gov ernment or his wards , and it hns been doomed expedient to plncc ? the agency In the handsjof an officer. Further than this assignment the recommendation of General Miles that certain agents should bo relieved and army ofllccrs placed In chnrgo will not bo followed. The relief of Agent Iloycr is the extent to which the president will go in the direction of giving the nrmy control of the Indian agencies , nnd although some officers may bo placed out in some ngoncioj , the agents will bo retained. It is not bollovod that it would bo expedient to put an end to the educational and other work in the hands of the Indian agents by substituting army ofilcors , who could do no more than issue rations nnd look aftca the peaceful con dition of the Indians. The army. It is stated in executive circles , has had absolute control of tno Indian agencies so far ns military power is concerned in the present disturbance , and it is held nt the war nnd Interior depart ments that-had there been nrmy officers In charge of the Indian agencies instead of the present agents , nothing moro could have boon done in the direction of peace than hna been done. At the very inclpioncyot the Indian trouble Secretary Noble directed the ngonts to co-opcrato with the army nnd obey the command of the oftlcor in charge of the troops , and they have complied. Secretary Noble said tonight ; "Don't mis tnko the notion of tadiy. Only Agent Uoyer hns been or will bo displaced. The assign ment of the other ofilcors than Captain Pierce are to do military duty at the agencies , but will not supplant the agents. " INTEtlF.STKD IX TUB StUPI'INO HILLS. The pan-American transportation company Is watching with mucn Interest the outcome of the shipping bills now before the house , for if these hills are passed it will moan a good deal In the way ot bounties to the pro posed lines connecting the United States with Central and South America. J. B. Clarke of Chicago , who Is hero in behalf of the company , said today that the company was ready to begin operations ns soon ns congress granted the charter. Their first stop would bo to scud n man abroad to charter from two to llvo steamers of not less than 4.000 tons burthen each. If , however , the subsidy bill wont through , the vlan o1 chartering steamers abroad uould bo aban doned and American ships would bo used In order that the company might secure the bounties which the subsidy plan proposes ) . Mr. Clarke snys tnat the $1,000,000 necessary to start the company Is already in sight nnt ! will bo forthcoming Immediately upon the granting of the charter1 This will allow nn onrly meeting at Galvcston , Tex. , where the oflteoM for the company will bo chosen , Agouts will at once bo dispatched to South ern und Central America in behalf of the company. It Is expected that the' now line will get a largo share of the cofToo trade com ing up from Brazil , ns well as a considerable part of the trafllo In fruit from the West Indies.

Seventy-six rears ngo this day January 8 , , Slfi wns fought the battle of Now Orleans. Is there In all these United States n single soulllvlng who was present nnd took part In that contest of arms ) It Is doubtful. And Jackson , the hero , has been dead for moro than forty-five years I It was In the dofcnso of New Orleans that Andrew Jackson achieved his enduring ro- nown. So on this anniversary his unprece dented achievement is recalled. Tlmo was when next to the Fourtti of July January 8 was tbo greatest of this country's .lolldnys. Thcro used to bo grand street iaradoscannon woke the echoes upon the hill sides , and lings floated from public nnd pri vate buildings. Toasts to "Old Hickory" and the "f lore of New Orleans" were drunk nnd irntlons , stirring nnd patriotic , wcro do- Ivcrcd to commornorato the day nnd the man. Sometimes there would bo festivities only , when songs nnd ballads wcro in order , recalling the Incidents of the British repulse , 3ow Packenham was killed , how his army was routed , how the "fair women were saved From n brutal soldiery. Ono of these had this ending : "Whllo old Mississippi to the ocean shall How. The laurels of Jackson shall flourish and grow ; Future ages with transport shall publish his fume , And mingle his praises with Washington's name. " Perhaps the most popular of all the songs that were wont to bo sung on those gala days was the "Hunters of Kentucky. " Two'of the stanzas ran thus : Ye gentlemen nnd ladles fair Who grace this famous city , Just listen If you've tlmo to spare , While I rchcarso a ditty , And for the opportunity Conceive yourselves quite lucky , For 'tis not often that you see A hunter from Kentucky On I Kentucky 1 Oh I Kentucky I Now Packonhamhad made his Drags , If ho In iight was lucky , Ho'd have our gals and cotton bags , In spite of Old Kentucky. But Jackson , ho was wldo nwako And wasn't scared at trifles ; For well ho know what aim wo take With our Kentucky rifles. A few words ns to. the battle. It was to decide whether NonrOrleans should fall Into the hands of the British or not. Jackson and his army were to defend ; Packenham and his force wcro to brqak , down every opposi tion , and then occiipy the town with "Beauty nnd Booty' , ' as their cry. Jackson held a-position behind a'deep trench running from the Mississippi cast- ward to a swamp , at a point where the solid land between wus leas , than a milo In width a position naturally Jjtrong. Every effort was put forth to make ifstlll stronger. A ram part of cotton bales'behind the deep ditch constituted the fortlllcation , back of which was the small force .of Jackson , and In front of It the British army , Under the lire of a battery of six eighteen- pounders , the mala body of the enemy , led by General Packenhnm In person , advanced to storm Jackson's position. The result , as all tbo world knows , was a splendid victory for the Americans. Two thousand of the British soldiers were killed and wounded , while the loss of Jackson was seven killed and six wounded I Another old ballad that was often sung in commcmmoratlon of this cxtraornlnary con flict , recited the story in these words : Bold Pnckcnhnm came with Gibbs and McKceoo And thousands of warriors , the heroes of Spain ; New Orleans to conquer they thought would bo play ; "Come on , " said their chief , "nnd I'll lead you the way. "Behold yonder city nnd steeples so flnol They stand , my bravo boys , but u league from our line. Storm these works and yon city shall bo your reward , For remember that 'beauty and booty's' the word. " Disgrace tp thy country , thou monster ac curst , To inllamo thy vllo soldiers with nvnrlco and lustl But honor and courage extinct In each breast The watchword was relished by these ho ad' dressed. "Bold Puckrnhnm" was among the killed nnd Glbbs nnd MnKcono ( Keene ) wounded , the first mentioned mortally.

[ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] The line of inquiry nnd inves tigation that has been taken up by physicians In this city in consequence of.tho discovery of Koch's lymph at Berlin has apparently led to another valuable addition to the known truths of scientific modlciuo. An experiment that has been carried on at the House of Host for consumptives at Fremont by the visiting physician , Dr. S. C. Bruce o this city , has succeeded In developing some very remark- nblo facts , and although the ground of expe rience is not yet wldB enough to admit of an absolute conclusion , lit seems to warrant the statement that Dr. Jlruco hns discovered a remedy that promise as startling results as these obtained by the now celebrated lymph. The information wa.1 placed at the disposal of Jho Times today.- which seems to show that coses of phthisis , tln advanced stages , which have shown llttlo , if any reaction under the lymph treatment , have under the treat ment introduced by Dr. Bruce shown won derful Improvement and give reason for much hopo. In the manner of application the sub stance used by Dr. irruco is entirely similar to the lymph , a hyneiij/jrinlo Injection being tnndo of from twenty to. ninety minims in the bactf of tlio patient'licai1 ' the shoulder blade. The patient , uftor rddelvlng this injection or inoccuhulon , has la-avory case under treat ment shown fuvora.bjo symptoms , not the least ofwhlch Is a rcrnnrknblo gain In weight and recovery of appetite.

Senator Paddock is In the city , registered nt tbo Murray , and to a BKU reporter last night said : "My return homo Just at this period has no political significance. I am Interested lu the Omaha street railway anil loft Washington Monday morning for the purpose of attend ing the meeting of ( Urectors held yesterday. Tomorrow I shall go to my uome at Beatrice and Friday I shall return to Washington , reaching there next Monday. "Regarding the now Omaha poatofllco building I have but little to say , ns that mat ter Is wholly In the hands of Senator Man- dors on nnd Representative Council , though I doubt if much will bo accomplished at this session of congress , as It Is pretty thoroughly understood that the present congress is cut ting down nil appropriations and the general tendency is to go lower , if such a thing bo possible. As I understood the matter , it has gone about as far as it can until an appro priation is passed. "Don't speak to mo about the McKinley bill. At Washington nnd nt every other ploco I po the bill is proving the greatest chestnut of the ngo , nnd I would not bo sur prised to see it modified very much , though ills working much the same as now bills of similar nature nl ways do at flrst. "A bill that will prove of much benefit to the country at largo and the state of No- crnska In particular , is my food adulteration ulll. At this time tlftccn states of ttio union have bills against the adulteration of articles of food , but , there Is no general law covering the question. This bill of which I spcnk bo- qlns , so you might say , where the state laws leave off. Food that Is adulterated may not bo used in the state whore manufactured , but there Is not any law preventing Its being shipped out of the state for the consumption of the innocent purchaser. This bill that has been lavorahly reported from the committee will work in conjunction with the Interstate commerce law and will provldo for the levy of a penalty to bo Imposed upon the shipper as well as upon the manufacturer.
