The recent notion of the management of

round trip to Manhattan beach from Omaha
has resulted In giving what amounts to a .V
jfcnt rate acnm the lake. Thu tickets.
* \vldch are sold by motor conductors for , ' 10
cents provide on their face that the holder
Bhall bo allowed to ride across the lake for 5
rents any tlnio during thn season , instead of
10 cents , which is the nominal rate.
There Is no coupon attachment , and
the holder of the ticket simply
has to show it to the conductor
on the boat and hand In his nickel. Tlio
consequence Is that ono : UI-cent ticket can be
made to last during the entire season and
can bo used for 600 trips across the lake Just
UB well ns for one. The : < 0-ceiit rate was
adopted mainly for the benefit of Omaha

Captain Scrlbncr of Omaha , tax fiRcnt of
the Union Pacific Hallway company , paid a
visit to County Treasurer Reed yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of talking over the
tax.rtucstlon which has been brought Into so
much prominence of late by the action of the
treasurer In solzlnjr fifteen of the big engines
that tin ) company has been using lu its dally
business. The treasurer has posted notices
to the effect that unless the taxes are paid
prior to August It the engines will on that
day bo offered for Bale and the Kcncr.il public
will bo enabled to lay In a stock of locomo
tives for full consumption at very reasonable
rate * . Tim visit of the tax apent was for
tlio purpose of making the treasurer n tender
of the amount of taxes duo , together with
the penalty Unit bus accrued slneo IVJl. Ho
refused , however , to pay the costs of the
salMiro.
The law provides that In case of sehuro
thu delinquent shall bo liable for the pay
ment of n ft per cent penalty , which amounts
to MOI.'JI. In addition to this the treasurer
was to an expense of JM for assistants and
this amount was also reckoned Into mane
the total sum due. The taxes , Interest and
penalties amounted to SStKI.B. and Captain
Scrlbncr was willing to pay S1U. ' . ' . " > inoro than
that toward the expenses In order to make
In even money. Ho counted out f.H.KKl In
bills which matlo a pt'.o about two
feet high and allowed the treasurer's
eyes to talto It In from suvoral points of
observation for a oouplu of minutes. Much
as it hurt him , Heed said he couldn't take It
unless Sorlbner would plank down the other
JHS.O'J. ' To this HcHbnor demurred , and so
the proceedings had to bo docl.iml olT.
Keed is rather confident , however , that
the company will climb down the ladder as
gracefully as possible within the next few
days , for every tnovo that is made toward
the llnal confiscation of the company's
property piles up the costs , which will have
to conio at las ; out of the proceeds of the sain
of the locomotives. -

\ Viillct \ tioru Knt'O Deep.
Deputy United Stales Marshal Ulcliards
arrived m the city yesterday with
Kit-hard Jenkins In his custody , the
prisoner being wanted to answer to the
charge of delaying a fast mail train.
Jenkins was In Council HlutTs last Friday ,
on his way to the east from Loadvlllo , where
ho had been working. I.Ike ninny more of
the "Colorado sufferers , " ho displayed a
good ( leal moro anxiety to llnd out Just what
prohibition red-nyo tasted like when taken
in largo quantities than to llnd work. After
bowling up to a considerable extent , ho
iniulo his uneven way to the Hurllngton
yards , whore ho announced his intention of
going out of town on thu llrst train , no mat
ter whether this conductor wanted to honor
his tic pass with a seat in the 1'ullm.ui car
or not. Ho made the announcement with a
wealth of fervid , but not beautiful ,
language , and said that ho would kill any
conductor who opposed him and walk in his
gore.
gore.Ho managed to get on board the train and
rode for some distance before being discov
ered. When ho was finally found ho picked
up a club and chased the brakeman into the
cab. A pitched battle ensued , and as
Jenkins was as big as four of the brakemen
the latter did not take mucn pains
to convince the unruly passenger that ,
the man who ran the road "did not
have to use a club. Another man , a
pal of Jenkins' . , was on the bayk end
of the tender armed with n coupling pin ,
prepared to slaughter any one that happened
to conio his way. Uy moans of a gun the
two fellows were compelled to alight from
the train , promising to stay off. As soon as
the train started they hopped on again and
the operation had to bo repeated.
In all they delayed the train about ten
minutes , and the probability is that Judge
Woolson will see that Jenkins is rewarded
with a liberal term in the state penitentiary.
The other fellow , whoso imino is G.V. . Mai-
lory , has disappeared , but the United States
olllccrs nro after him. The affair took place
at Iliteinan , a small station on the Chicago ,
Burlington & Quincy road , about three miles
from Albia.
While ho was in Kichard's custody
Jenkins stated that there were six men he
would like to kill.

Jo\vis Lovoll , a man who lives on Upper
Lincoln avenue , telephoned to City Marshal
Temploton yesterday morning and stated
that there was the making of a horrible
sensation In a litllo house Just two doors
from hia home. An old woman had been
living there , but she was missing. Groans
and muffled cries for help had been hoard by
thu neighbors during the night and he was
certain that if a search were made some
thing would bo found which would freeze
the marshal's young blood and harrow up
his soul.
Deputy Marshal Fowler' responded to the
summons , and when ho arrived at the place
mentioned found a crowd of about fifty
neighbors , each ono anxiously waiting to ho
the tirst one to run in case anything too horrible
riblo should bo found. There ilid not seem
to bo any groans on tap , and an invcutlgntion
of thooulsuloof thu bulldimr failed to show
anything that was not strictly as It Hhould
bo. The door was thorn broken open and the
spectators were given an opportunity to go
inside and Interview the mangled corpse ,
nut there was no corpse there , and every
thing was In good order. It appeared to bo
a case of overheated imagination , and
although the materials for a sensation were
thcro , the sensation was wofully stolled | In
the making.

Frank Stacy'a young man who has been
the junior member of the linn of James
Stacy , has loft the city and his relatives and
friends claim not to know whcro ho Is. Ho
has been missing for a IJttlo over a week ,
but nothing was said about it in the hope
that ho would return In a day or two. Thiv
way matters stand now , however , there
seems to bo but little probability of his returning
turning at all. Judge \V. C. James , who
started the young man up In business by
taking him Into partnership , stated yester
day that Just before leaving , Stacy removed I
all thu papers of the linn from the desk In I
the ofllco to some place unknown , and hu
ordered the linn mall sent to HOIIIO place
which the | K > stal authorities rcfuso to
divulge. Ho left no word with his partner
as to his Intentions.
Juik'o James thinks he has held back
quite a sum of money that belonged to the
firm , but Just how much it Is hard to toll ,
from the fact that there Is no way of lulling
how much ho collected until the receipts are
brought to the surface In thu hands of the
patrons of the company. Ho knows of about
f 100 of the linn money that Ktaoy checked I
out for his own uso. The missing young

tainty as to whether It would continue under

called on Manager Clark and oiTered to make
up a purse of $ lr > ( ll ; for him on condition that
ho would consent to retain the management
for another year , but Mr. Clark refused to
accept anything In the way of a bonus. Ho
stated , however , that If the clti/.ens would
club together and purchase 1.000 dinner
tickets , to bo used any time during the year ,
it would n ? very acceptable. A bargain is
now pending between Mr. Clark and the
Pennsylvania Mutual Insurance company ,
which owns the buildimr , anil whether or
not it will Do made depends largely on
whether this proposition is accepted. A
committee of the citizens has the matter In
charge and U making a canvass. Mr. Clark
has madu a thorough success of the estab
lishment since he has had charge of it and
it is hoped that ho can bn prevailed upon to
continue at its head. The indications are

If the walls of the state dining room
had voice they could tell of a little inci
dent in tlio Arthur administration that
lias never been made public. If it proves
anything at all , it is that a man can
change his mind with all the eaue sup
posed tu bo the sole prerogative of woman.
I'resident Arthur's personal taste in
matter of decoration , writes Kate Field ,
was excellent , as many portions of the
executive mansion altered under his di
rection bear evidence at the present
day. The Blue parlor , as ( 'ecu-
rated during his occupancy , pre
sented decidedly the handsomest
appearance it has over done. At the
time when that room , in common with
the others on the lirst lloor , was being
decorated , tlio president , ono evening at
dinner , promised one of his guests that
to her ho would entrust the important
matter of soleotiiig thu decorations of
the state dining room. The order had
been given to a New York lirm , but the
selection of material and colors was left
to the lady , who forthwith posted olt to
Now York" for that purpose.
The president gave the matter no
further attention until ho was called in
to inspect tlio completed contract. Then
came the order from the president to
undo without delay the entire decora
tions of Uio room. Subsequently , when
they had boon exchanged for others se
lected by the nresident himself , ho made
a polite apology to tlio lady , declaring
the change arose from no lack of taste
on her part , but simply that tho.final
olTcct was not sulllciontly handsome to
bo in keeping witli the dignity of tlio
apartment.

DCS MOIXES , July 87. [ Special Telegram
to TUB Hen. | The suspension of Warden
McMillan of the Fort Madison penitentiary
for misappropriation of funds 'Is now Inevi
table. The report of tho.spcclal committee
npnointcd to Investigate the charges against
the management of the Fort Madison and
Anamosa penitentiaries was madu public
today In regard to the 1-ort Madison prison.
The report on the Anamosa prison was
made some tlmu ago , exonerating In nearly
every particular Warden Maudcn's admin
istration , but attachlmr blamn to Chief Clerk
Galbralth , who has slnco resigned.
In respect to the Fort Madison prison , the
committee llnds that Warden McMillan has
received the sum of about ? 1,1SS which ho
has so far been unable or unwilling to ac
count for. It also tlmls that the warden
and Clerk Huttorllold are Interested In the
Indlanola , Nob. , Paint and Ochre company ,
and have clven the company contracts In
direct violation of the law. It also finds
that the warden has on several occasions
Hied the state funds to the extent of $1,100
for . private purposes and It also llnds that
the vouchers are unsatisfactory , though It
cannot say the state has suffered loss lit this
direction. ( I There is also a discrepancy In
the surplus guard fund which the warden Is
unable ; to fully explain , saying that ho never
expected to bo called upon for an au'counting
of the same. The charges in regard to dis
cipline and other inantycmont of the prison
the committee llnds were not sustained.
The matter was referred to the attorney
general and , after rovlewing the report and
the law , ho comes to the conclusion that the
governor could not do otherwise than sus
pend the warden , which will probably bo
done shortly. The governor went to Fort
Madison today to confer with the warden ,
who has made a written defense and depos
ited a sufficient sum to reimburse the state
for ally-losses that may have occurred. The
warden claims that misappropriation , if any
has occurred , has been wholly unintentional
on his part. It is prob.iblo tint a democratic
successor to Warden McMillan will bo ap
pointed ,

WEST Usios , la. , July 'J7. Thoqulet town
ship of Windsor , Fayetto county , comes for
ward with a startling sensation , The llrst
part of the episode dates back two months
and the _ scene was Canada. ICd Palmer ,
single , was altogether too intimate with the
wife of a friend ! The pair were occupying a
house ono night when a crowd surrounded
the dwelling and pelted It with rocks. Under
cover of darltness or through the cellar the
pair escaped and camo-to Windsor , where
the woman has relatives. Thcro they
lived as they had in Canada. In a
short time the condition of affairs be
came known , anil : i few nights ago
a party of men went to the home of Fay
Thompson , where Palmer has boon stopping ,
walked in and upstairs to his room and
dragged him out of bed. Taking him into a
three-seated carriage , his clothes were
nrouirht and ho was dressed on the road. A
heated argument was had as to .vhother ho
should be shot or han'ged , It being finally de
cided to hang him. They stopped at n farm
honso and procured a rope , but before the
deed was committed one of the party
softened and Induced the balance to abandon
so severe a penalty. However , they took
him to the center of a dcnso piece of timber ,
and there in the blackness of impenetrable
darkness snt him on the ground , admonish
ing him that if ho was over again seen in
this region a rope would stretch over his
head. He has not been seen since.

ANAMOSA , la. , July ST. Quito a little ex
citement was occasioned at the penitentiary
last Monday night when the count was
made for the nicbt lock-up. After the count
was completed it was discovered that John
Wesley Klkins was missing. Alarm was at
onto made and search instituted. Young
Klkins was found m an old parrel in a pile
of lumber , with the atmosphere hot enough
to suffocate him. Ho wan taken out and
put in the chains in the solitary.
Wesley Elkins , it will bo remembered ,
began the life sentenoo when 11 years old
for the crime of killing his fattier and
mother while they slept , with a rifle. He is
now 14 years of ago and has been ugly and
unruly for several weeks. He has had an
easy job of it heretofore , but from tills on
will bo set to cutting stono. Ho is a bad
boy and docs not regret committing the
crime for which ho is imprisoned.

part , as It seems extremely dubious that a
sufficient amount will bo raised to pay the
claims in full. The committee has received
something over $40,000. The exact losses
that should be reimbursed will foot up to
about three times thin amount. The com
mittee Is sifting claims very carefully and
quite a number have been readjusted , The
work of building houses is going on rapidly
and the town Is getting into habitable shape
once moro. The wounded are doing well.
Contributions , and liberal ones , are still
badly needed.

BIO BUIIOLAKIES.
t Titkrt ltr. tn to Hull nnil itt < cut
Thorn.
Very few people have an idea of the
umiunso amount of labor , forethought
and svlcntitlu skill brought to bear on n
big burglary. The first thing necessary
is to Hurt a house containing sullleieut
valuables to repay the trouble ami risk ,
and this llrst step alone may take many
weeks.
Let it IMS understood that only the
lighest class of export bnrghira nro
nennt ; men with c.unfortnblo banking
accounts and houses of their own , and
who. after reducing risk to a minimum
by elaborate plans , acquire enough in
ono night to keep them in utllucnce and
eminent respectability for mure thniua
year , although having but a third share ,
as these burglaries are Invariably
v .vorked . by three.
To illustrate the wonderful resource
und leisurely way of proceeding adopted
by burglars , take a ease related by a
'imminent detective , savs the Cincinnati
Joimnorcinl. The principal of the
burglars in this Instance , having llxed
on n certain house , was unable to ac-
inlro sulliclont inforiniitinii concerning
It and the owners. This mun then went
to the local butcher supplying the house
mil applied tor a situation as driver of
: > no of his carts which delivered meat at
customers' residences. After producing
unquestionable references ( how obtained
no ono ever knew ) the man was engaged
on the round , which included the house
fixed upon.
Incredible as It may appear , ho stayed
with his emphu'or for over seven months ,
"
and gave tho" utmost satisfaction ; his
only failing being a weakness for chat
ting with the servants.
I ivo days after his resignation a gi
gantic burglary was etToctcd at the house
selected , and property v.ilned at over
SliO.OOO was stolen. The thieves had
smoked several cigars and drunk a bottle
tle of port , so that they wore in no hurry ,
and to crown all , the bioty WHS convoyed
to its destination in the owner's pony
phaeton , which was duly returned the
bame night , but no real clew wus afforded ,
and the burglars were never captured.
On another occasion a chambermaid
was escorted out , with a view to matri
mony ( and burglary ) for two months be
fore the event came oil. A conveyance
is always at hand , and generally of styl
ish appeareiico ; in fact , on one occasion
a brougham was used , which the
passcrsby and even the- policeman on i
the beat imagined was thu property of i
one of the residents close by. 1
As regards tools , very few are ncccs-
sary , owing to the skill and ingenuity of
the operator. With a jimmy , spreader ,
drill , a few pieces of strong bunt wire
and a little gunpowder , the export burg
lar can make liis way anywhere. To
these are sometimes added a set of
"stumblers. " These are lengths of line
steel wire , with pointed stakes about a
foot long attached to each end , and half
a du/.en of those make but little bulk. '
These stumblors arolixed on the lawn or
paths about the house in sueli a way that
the wires are raised about six inches ;
from the ground , and prove such a suc
cess in case of pursuit , that the burglars ;
are compelled to liany ; pieces of white |
paper from the wires in order that they
may escape their own traps , as they
always run over them.

Attention.
Don't bate other women so. Think of
the way yon look at one another on the
street. Don't keep all your politeness
for us. Don't keep "smoothing the
wrinkles out of your waist. A few
wrinkles will keep yon from looking
hideously smooth , like a fashion plate.
Don't have your skirt badly fastened
at the back so that your underskirt be
comes visible. You can't see this , and L
no woman seems to tell you.
Don't get oil the car with your back
to the horses. Men get a great deal of
u n out of your persistency in doing this , I
but you are not bound to amuse them. *
Don't stand at the door of a street ear
and worry some man near at hand into
giving yon a seat when there are empty
seats at the head of the car. You all do
this.
this.Don't
Don't leayo your handkerchief and
ppcketbook in your lap when you are
riding in a street car. Some man will
pick them up for you as you are pasbing
out , but they will get muddy.
Don't try to have a long waist. For
.1,000 years the artists the professors
and conservators of beauty have been
saying that a short waist is moro beauti
ful. At least please take the hint.
Don't wait until you got in front of a
ticket ollico window before taking out
your pockotbook. The wives of the
eight men who are patiently waiting the
opportunity to buy tickets are wondering
why they are so late at home.

A Kentuckian , who is a patient in a

his lips are blue , and so is his tongue ,
and altogether ho is the bluest man in

TENDERLOIN REJUV.ENATOR.
An Appllrnllnn fur the Mnn About Town
When Hu N Tired.
Two frequenters of tlio Tenderloin dis
trict walked unsteadily along Upper
Uroadway on Friday iiftornoon , bays the
Now York Sun. They were both well
drosbed , but tlioy showed tlio effects of
too much jubilation. Tlio face of one
of the nion was marred by a stubby two
days growth of brown beard , and lie
lookud tirod. Ho leaned heavily on the
arm of bis friend.
"You'ro all right , " Paid tlio latter.
"Just stop in hero and 13ob willr ejuve-
nato you in a jilTy. "
They turned into a barber shop In
Sixtli nvcnuo. The boss barber stood 1
leaning against a shaving chair.
' 'Hero , Bob , " said the sober man about
town , "givo my friend a tenderloin ro-
juveinitor. He's been up the bolter part
of two nights and needs it."j
Tlio tired mail about town sank wear
ily into the boss barber's chair.
"I'll fix you all right , " tlio latter said
choorily. ' 'You wont know yourself iln
i twenty minutes. " The boss harbor
i soaked two towels in ice water for two
minutes , while the tired customer lay in
the chair. Then ho wrim ? the towels
out and bound ono over the tired man's
forehead and folded the other and
placed it under his head at the base of

The tired oustomor closed his oycs anil
did go to sloop within two minute.1 * . The

slumbered ami slnxvi'd him skillfully.
Ho changed the iced towels every flvo
minutes whllo the customer slept. Tlio

woke him up , took off the ileotl towel * ,

with bay rum. The custonu-r looked
surprised as ho arose from tlio chair
and gum ! at himself in tlio mirror. His
headache had gouo , and ho looked i-liip-
per and neat.
"Uy jove ! " said ho , "that's simply
great. How much is tlio billy"
"Half a dollar , " said the boss harbor.
, , That is the regular charge for the ro-
juvenator. "
The two mon about town went out arm
in arm to got something to oat.
"Lots of men who are given to racket
ing ciunu in hero and have that process
applied to thorn , " the boss barber said.
"It is a pleasant way of getting over the
bad olToots of a night with the l > oy . The
best thing about it , you see , is that you
can bo cured whllo you go to sleep In the
barber chair. That's a great deal hotter -

or liver pills or other drugs. It is sim

dollar fee , for it is understood that it
takes tiiuo and that a barber's time is
valuable. "
