About three clnys ago a Hue representative
met Mr. Garllchs scurrying out from the
ofllco of SuDorintondont Tuobs ot the
Western Union. Mr. Uarllchs looked suu
nnd worded and was so preoccupied that ho
aid not look up to exchange a greeting.
Forhnus the cause ot it all is explained In
the 11 rat line of this dispatch.
The capni3 was Issued last night by
Judge Broutuuo of the superior court.
S.'ho man who filed the petition of
attachment was ono ' Loyal A. Smith ,
who created a great stir In Omalia
ary goods circles seven or eight yenrs
ago uy selling calico at. thu rate
of sixteen ynrus for 1 cent , anil doing
divers other Btraugo things. Mr. Smith Is a

linn. Ho could not be found today by n llii :
man. Myron Beach , Smith's lawyer , says
that Gardens' trouble Is mainly Uuu to Uiu
unfortunate speculations since he came
hero.
Up to n lalo hour tonight Uarllchs had not
bcua unotoil by the deputy shurltl Iu whose
hands Uiu capias of arrest had been placed ,
No ono seemed to know whcro Uarlichu
was. At ilitt ofllco of James Jay Smith \

was bnld that no had not been there for burnt :
days , anil 1m had loft no word as to hU pres

I.oto this nflornoon Lawyer Itcach , who la

searched n pair of Iron knuckles was found
in bis pocket. Morrow was arnica with a
lareo poclcot itnlfo.
This morning thuv wcro transferred to the
central station , whcro they will bo held until
laeulillcd , as they are both strangers to the
police. They are both aoout , IU years old
and unpnrontly intelligent , but shaubily
dressed ,
Wnon seen by Tin : Bur. correspondent this
morning both claimed to bo Innocent of any
intent to do wronp , and claimed to have only
arrived in Chicago vesturday morning from
Omaha In search of work.
"Why. f.Ubor Is a reputable citizen of
Omaha. " said Cramer , "nnd Is In the mail
ei'vico there , and I would not have him
mow 1 am arrested for anythlns. I came
tore to seek u-ork and was arrested last
light while looking for some place to sleep. "
Ho nlso claimed to have worked in iho
'fllco ' of Freight Auditor Van Kurau of the
Union Pacific railroad at Omaha.
Morrow loft Omaha because he could _ not
get work and could not stand the taunts of
his fnmilv in consequence. Tliroo years ago ,
bo suhl , ho wa employed iu the folding
room of the senuto at Washington , a position
secured for him by Senator Paddock. Ho
also claims to have been a lllo clerk In tlie

the son of William P. Morrow , a plasterer ,
living at U , > m Corby atruot , nnd who for n

Hoard of Education.
Superintendent Cramer of the mall service
was soon uy a Dm : reporter In his omco In
the postoflico building yesterday , and the
dispatch as printed aboru was shown him.
After carefully reading the account of his
son's ' arrest , Mr , Ctamorsalil :
Well , tuli is a strange affair , and \i \ of
cnurso n mistake. My son loft here last
Monday night for Chicago to look for work.
When hi ) wont away ha were uu old over

on account of his unshaven face , probably
looks a llttlo older , \Vhon ho loft hero t
had agreed to go to Chicago In n week or BO
and laku linn borne clothing , but when ho
loft bo said ho did not care to wear gouit
clothot bciauso ho did not know what kind

Continuing Mr , Cramer told iiliout his
son's record here in Omaha
, and upon inves
tigation it was found tuat the voung man
was well thought ot by his employers , the
Union I'lU'illo company and thu JSouraska
Clothing company ,
"Cliiougo , you know , " said the superin

FOB THE EXPOSITION.
nianufectnrors Showrni ; ( ireat Interest In
the rrojcct.
The manufacturers nro becoming consider
ably aroused ever ho subject of an exposi
tion building and they realize that'if any
thing is done it must bo done ni once or
there will bo no exposition in Omaha next
year. Tnoro nro some who say that there
Is not enough enterprise in Omaha to carry
out such a scheme and that the pt > oilo of
this city do not hold together well enough.
Other- , say that tnu enterprise is hero and
.hat all that Is wanting is some ono to take
.ho load. M. C. Peters ot the Bemls
Omaha Bag compauv says thai if the
business men of Omaha could halt
realize the good that the exposition
Ims done bt. LouU they would not re'st until
Omaha had something of the same kind.
When It was first proposed at St. Louise
: o inaugurate a series of expositions
.hut would furnish amusement for the peo-
jilo for a month of each year poopio smiled
and said , " \Vo will do well it we can hold
them for a week , " ur.d now their fall festivi
ties last for forty days. When the people of
St. Louis llnally decided to "put up an exoo-
sltlon building a stock company wut formed ;
tno shares wore sold ut $ .100 each and a sub-
scilptlon began that was really a papular
one. Fully half of the snare * were taken by
poopio iu only moder.ilocirciimuanops. The
great building was put up covering
a bloclr. At the same time with Uio
exposition they inaugurated n series of
illuminations and str-'ot parades tuut have
given the city a national reputation. In 1SS5
fri'J.OOO was uurncd upin gas. The fame of
the illuminations wont abroad and people be
gan to plan for n vUlt to the city during the
time of the festivities. Merchants who bad
been trading with otner cities dropped Into
St. Louis during the carnival and look the
opportunity to go around among the wholo-
KUO ) houses and llnd out what figures they
could get on goods. The roaiilt was In bun
drcds of cases that Chicago , Now York.
Louisville and Cincinnati began to fool the
effects of St. Louu enterprise and 10 rightly
conjectuio that the exposition was the causa
of their losing n good ninny old customers ,
"Tho bonellt to tha trade ot thu
" the St. Louis
city , nays Kt -
public , " ' 'was ' so plain that It became easy
lor Iho iinaneo committee to calculate nn
larger subscriptions ovorv year. " For ISill ,
ib'JJ and lb'J.1 ' $1,000,000 wai pledged by the
business men 10 bo used for Illuminating ibo
cslty. "Kvory business man In Omauu will
agree , " bald Mr. Peters , "that wtmt wo
need here Is some allractlen that will brine
in Iho people from the surrounding country
and got them into thu habit of comini ; hero ,
Tim mauufacturcrs are not the onlv class ol
business moi : who are intorojiod In bringing
in customers. TUo Jobbers have fully us
much to gain nt the manufacturers. Kvou
the retailers would reap as mucn oouofit ns
anyone , as n great many of th'J visitors to
tha city would become- good customers ol
theirs. The hotel proprietors nro another
class of men wl o would come in for u largo
sunroof the benefits. The manufacturers
domonbtrated last year thai they could con
duct a creditable rxposition , and If thov can
secure a good building they will bo abio to
do much better next year. All classes o
business men ought to arouse ttiomielve *
and help to perfect and carry out
plans that will in a no the merchants
of the nurrouuding country feel thu
Omaha is thu business ceutre of this
part of tha west. The railroads could do a
great deal to noli ) us and they would get it
buck several tin os over again. Oaa rallrout
company with Hues into St , Louis Is said to
have subscribed 110,000 u year , for throe
years , to the Illumination fund. "

The temporary restraining order was at
an end yosiorday when Iho court failed to
sustain the injunction and Mayor Walters
ut once dopoicd Beckett and placed Brennan

an appeal will bo taken. The decision did
not cause oven u flutter bore , though mucn

While passing upon thochiof of police case ,
Judge Irvine handed down another decision
which Is of considerable Interest to the poo-
plu of South Oinilrn.
Last spring wtion the oQlcials of t'uo town
made their levy for general city purposes
they failed und rofusoj-to in alto any levy for
the support of tbo public schools , holding
that the town was a city of the second class
aim that the school levy would have to uo
made by the county commissioner : * . This
action was cortlllcd to Uiu county board , and
tno matter was. referred to tun countv attor
ney for a legal oninton. Thot ( 'onllemau
looked up the law In thu case and reporlea
back that as ho interpreted thu law the
'
county commlsMonor-i 'had nothing to do
with the school matters of South Omiha ,
This report went to the Hoard ot IZiincatlon
of South Omahu , mid that body at once op-
piled for a mandamus to compel the Board of
County Commissioners to muko the levy ,
The order was roslsted and argued before
Judge Irvine , who took the case under ad
visement. Yesterday bo handed down his
opinion , holdlngthat South Omaha was a city
of the first class and it/iut / iho application
should huvo been madu to the city council
instead of the Board of County Commis
sioners.
The fact that tl o city , council has bold th.it
South Omaha was u citvof th o suuond ulusa ,
nnu transacted all the city business on thai
tiasii , may cause some unpleasant complica
tions , but It is luo general opinion that all
can uo adjusted without injustice to the city
or taxpayers.

The annual report of tbo Union Stock
Yards company Is now In tha hands of thu
printer and will soon bo given to tbo public.
Tbo report will show that great as the
prowlb of the stock yards and packing
business has been iu the past , this
point has made n longer stride toward
the head of tbo list of packing
ccntori than In any previous year.
In other words a rompurKon of the business
dona at Chicago , Omaha und Kansas City ,
shows that Omaha has gained on her rivals
more this year than ever before. In fact ,
this is the only market in tbo country that
can show an increase in business for tbo year
IS'.U. Onicial figures show that for eleven
mouths ot 1891 there were received at theo
yards 1)11OJ1 ! ) head of hoes , nnd for the cor
responding period of 189J there were re
ceived 1,470,1131 head , showing increased re
ceipts of l.r > UiOO : head.
Receipts of hoes' at this point for Novem
ber , just passed , were only 20.000 less than
for November of lot > t your , whllo for the
same month Kansas City sustained a loss of
114,000 head.
Whllu receipts of hogs at this point during
.the past cloven months , slalod nbovo , show
ac Increase of 159,800 head , Kansas City , for
tbo sumo period , shows a falling off ot over
110,000 bead. While making comparisons
with Kansas Ciiy , it might as .well
bo mentioned tnat in the matter of bogs
packed during Iho past month , the shortage
ut this point has been but 23,000 whllo Kan
sas City shows a decrease of 118,000.
The increased rorolpis at these yards Is
easily accounted for. For weeks past buyers
u thosoy aids have paid higher proporiion-
ate prices Ihun ut any other packing point ,
and on man)7 days paid within 5 lo 10 cents
of Chicago prices and 10 to 15 cents more
lian Kansas City.
