Wednesday , have already arrived and are
reKlslercd at the Mlllard and several more
arc expected today. Among them will prob-
nbly be the secretaries , of whom there Is
one for the national society and one for
each state.
The local committee has been hard at
work and all preliminaries for the enter
tainment of the convention arc about coin
p'.ple. There Is no way of estimating the
number of those who will bo present , but
2COO are expected. These for the most part
will be New Englandcrs and residents of the
Atlantic states , all of whom pay their own
way while In the city. The only ones for
\vliom the local committee has provided any
entertainment arc the homo missionaries In
the youiiR and struggling communities In
western Nebraska and the adjoining states.
Kor these this , the first meeting of the so
ciety west of New York , Is an event of
considerable Importance. The Home
Missionary society has rendered possible the
churches and parsonages which they have
been struggling to build and n special effort
will be made by them to meet the generous
easterners who have given them their en
couragement and assistance. Special Invita
tions have been sent to all of them and they
will be welcomed with as much cordiality

ngers , liavo notified Chairman Payne of the
local committee that an excursion of dele-
Kates wUhlng to attend the convention left

raised and all further arrangements will bo
completed at a meeting of the committee to
bo held at the rooms of the Commercial
club today.
The drive about the city will take place
at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon , the start
being made from the Mlllard. The route
chosen will take the visitors over the leadIng -
Ing streets and through the most Interesting
portions of the city , north and bouth , but
the committee has been thoughtful enough
to so arrange It that none will bo too tired
to attend th'o recaption to be held In the
evening. On the trip a stop will bo made
at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church ,
where the ladles of the congregation will
nerve suitable refreshments and a social
time will be had.
To greet the guests at the depot twenty
parties , with appropriate badges , have been
selected , who will servo as a welcoming
committee and an escort to the church. The
parties will be some of the leading Congre-
ttatlonallsts of the city. At the church
there will bo twenty of Iho brightest boyg
which the committee has been able to select
who will guide the visitors about the city
and to the hotels which have been selected
for them.
Yesterday afternoon the ladles of the
churches were engaged In decorating the
First Congregational and the First Methodist
churches , whore the sessions will be held.
These same ladles have also agreed to pro
vide In convenient places bowln of lemonade
lor the refreshment of both breakers and
listeners at the various sessions to be held
in the church and elsewhere. The week
will close , according to program , with an
Informal reception given by the business
men of the city at ihe Comcmrclal club- and
delegates who have been corresponding from
New York express themselves as highly
pleased with thU feature , which is one they
liavonot been accustomed to.
Itcpllcs received by the general commit
tee to invitations to those having vehicles to
attend the drive Indicate that there will bo
a lengthy procession In line , and the Interest
taken by the public generally promises well
for the welcome which the visitors will re
ceive.
Recursions to various points have been
talked of , but only one so far has been
definitely settled. That will be to Tabor , la. ,
the seat of Tabor college , and the citizens
will provide the train and agrco to see that
those who go on Saturday afternoon will bo

mercial club In the evening.

I'mtal Clerk I'lynti Arrrntcil on Clown
IVorlcpil by Throe Inspectors ,
Walter II , 1'lynn , a railway postal clerk ,
was arrested by government officials In Lin
coln Saturday night on the charge of open
ing registered letters and stealing their con
tents. For some time the postofdcc authori
ties had bern on the trail of the thief , but
were unable to Bccuro any clew. Inspectors
from the Denver , ( ontana and St. Louis di
visions went to work , and all their clews
led them to Lincoln , where Flynn was
finally caught. The accused Is alleged tc
have cnnfcsrcd to having taken about $30 (
from different letters and three separate
cases have been worked up against him ,
Flynn Is a young man , and hla home Is
In Deadwood , where his parents reside. The
Inspectors allege that Flynn's thieving opsra
tlons have been going on for n year , anil
they haVe nlxtcen charges which will bo pre
ferred against the prisoner. Flynn tried to
work a bluff on the oincers , but when they
confronted htm with conclusive evidence
against him , ho weakened and confessed
that he had taken the cash and spent It In
Lincoln. It Is said that Flynn was some
what of a would-bo swell , and did not live
within his salary. This probably led him to
commit the crime of theft.
IVili-rhl Court Notes.
Indictments were returned yesterday In
the federal court against Carrie Hart of this
city , charging her with passing and having
In her possession counterfeit money. Carrie
was arraigned before Judge Dundy and
pleaded not guilty.
The granil jury returned a true bill against
N. T. Gadd , a former employe of the land
oHlco at Broken How. who Is charged with
embezzling about $2GOn of the government
fumK Ills friends made gocd the shortage ,
but the government officials thought that
his acts should not go unpunlihcd and they
pave the facts In the case to the grand Jury
with the above result. OacM entered a plea
of not guilty and his case was placed on the
docket for trial.
The Jury In the case of George Sterling ,
who Is charged with burglarizing the North
Platte postolllco , received Its instructions
from Judge Dundy In the federal court yes
terday afternoon , and after being out about
fifteen minutes returned a verdict of guilty.
The lowest sentence that Sterling can get Is
a heavy fine and Imprisonment for a year ,
but there was such a strong case made out
against him that he will probably receive
little leniency. It Is alleged by the officers
who worked up the evidence against the
accused that this Is not the first Job Sterling
has done of this character.
The federal grand jury had to adjourn un
til June 25 on account of a lack of funds
provided for paying witnesses , and the petit
jury will have to adjourn for a week or ten
days on the same account. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Hush said that he thought
that the matter would soon be arranged so
that ample funds would be placed at their
disposal to try the remainder of the cases.
Some violations of the postal laws by local
parties will be Investigated.

It Is In the private office of the chief of
detectives of a western city. A mysterious
murder has been committed and Ofllcers
Sleuth , Sneak and Tracem have been de
tailed to "work on the case , " says the Cleve
land Plain Dealer.
Chief Oflicor Sleuth , what success have
you to report ?
"But partial success , captain. "
"You located the scene accurately ? "
"Yes , sir. The body was found with two
bullet hcles through the back. There was
no. weapon abpul the body and the house
was ransacked > r " ' *
"Thero cnn be no mistake about this. Of
ficer Sleuth ? "
"None whatever , captain ! . It Is quite
plain a murder has been committed "
'Chief ' Ofllccr Sneak , what success have
you to report ?
Oflleor Sneak Officer Tracem and 1 worked
together ; whllo 'Lieutenant Sleuth went In
side
"How long was this after the body was
found ? "
"Supposed to bo about sevcu hours , sir.
As the lieutenant went Inside'wo walked
three times carefully around the huuse ; we
took accurate measurements of the wood
shed door nd noted the color of the paint
on the gate post and gathered such other
clews as we thought might be useful at the
trial "
"And did you see no susplcjqus persons ? "
"Made ono arrest , sir a * boy fully 11
years old having bloody Iwmlsi- ' ,
"Was ho run In ? " i
"No ; I held thn nippers on him till Sleuth
and Tracem got him handcuffed , when "
"When what ? Quick ! "
"When ho convinced us that he had been
carrying a 5-cent soup bone homo to his
grandmother , and that's how the blood got
on his hands. "
"Any more arrests ? "
"Yes , sir Just as wo were measuring the
chimney to determine If the murderer could
have escaped that way wo noticed a boy
who wore a white muslin hhlrt "
"And you arrested him ? "
"Certainly ! The coipse also had on a
white muslin shirt , and hero was a clew ,
sure enough. We all three put the nippers
on him until ho could be handcuffed " .
"What was his age ? "
"Ho was all of 7 years old "
"Where is ho now ? "
"Oh , ho proved to be the grandson of the
murdered man , and we felt justified In let
ting him off , though the lieutenant gave
him a sharp lecture "
' . 'Is that all ? "
"That Is as far as we have got with the
case , captain , though wo think v > o can es
tablish that a street car passed the house
some time In the night ; a milk wagon
passed next morning , and the wind was
blowing from the northwest at the time. "
Chief Gentlemen , you are doing splen
didly ; such conduct will add luster to our
record for clllelency. Now It la fairly es
tablished that the m\n was killed though
this will be verified by an autopsy by the
police surgeon ; It is fairly certain that he
was killed at homo and that he was not
killed before coming homo ; with the meas
urements of the woodshed door , the dlrec-
of the wind , the milkman Incident
and the two suspicious arrests there ought
to bo no dllllculty In running the perpe
trators to earth , though ono Important clew
may have escaped you. You should have
noted whether the bricks of the pavement
showed signs of having been recently
tramped upon. I an ) proud of your success ,
gentlemen , and you will doubtless soon re
ceive promotion.

DECIDES m INVESTIGATION
Police Commissioners Will Sift Charges

Conduct of Onicrrs at CoHanum Will Also

DetectUe Coburn'g Complaint.
An Investigation of the charges made by
The Bee against the police detective depart
ment and of the conduct of the officers left
at the Coliseum after the Thurston Rifles'
flag presentation on Monday night of last
week was resolved on by the fire and police
commissioners at the meeting of the board
lost night. Commissioner Smith Introduced
the resolution , and the Investigation will be
gin tonight.
The first feature of the seislon wm a read
ing of charge. ] against Sergeant Sheep , made
by Chief Seavey , who stated that the ser
geant disobeyed and neglected his duties on
the night of May 28 , when Shaop was In
charge of a detail of eight pollcemun which
had been assigned to duty at the Coliseum
on that night. The chief ordered Shonp to
take a sufflc-lent number of men ro the Coli
seum to maintain order there
whllo the program arranged for the
presentation of the flag to the Rifles took
place. Sheep did this , but he also detailed
four of the men to remain on duty at this
place all night , which they did. All this
was contrary to the outers of the chief , who
Instructed the sergeant to put the men back
on their beats as scon as the exercises were
over at this place. Shoap offered as an explan
ation of hta disregard of the chief's orders
a letter from Captain Sclmrff of the Thurs
ton Rifles , In which he said he was responsi
ble for asking Sheep to leave a number of
officers at the Coliseum to guard the prop
erty of the Rifles , which was left there under
a guard of fifteen men detailed from the
company of Rifles. Sheep said that ho
granted the request of the captain In spite
of the orders given him by a superior officer.
DCNY THUY DRANK LIQUOR.
Then the chief called attention to the
scandal created by the conduct of both
guards and officers. These ofilcers made a
written statement to the chief. They are
Olllcc.rs Arnold , Clarkl Brady and Bo\'er. )
Each sf them denied that he drank anything
iVhllo on duty at the Coliseum , but acknowl
edged that ho understood that lhe.rovas . a
considerable quantity of beer In the dressing
rooms of the building. All heard the guards
shooting blank cartrldges. bul said that they
did not place them under'arrest , as the'.lieu
tenant of the company took the men In
charge. The policemen said that If liquor
was drank It was by the members of the
militia company and not by them. They
explained the noise made by Intimating that
the youthful soldiers were only having a
"good time. " Then Commissioner Sniltln re
marked that It was about time for the board
to take a hand in the matter and give the
police department a general cleaning up ,
ind he Introduced his resolution , which was
adopted.
Commissioner Strlckler demanded to know
What the special committee , composed of
Mr. Coburn and Chief Seavey , appointed to
nvestlgate the charges made against the
letcctlve department by The Bee had done
or If it had any report to make. Commis
sioner Coburn said that he declined to act
any further on this committee and he did
lot propose to make any individual Investlga-
: lon Into these charges as he considered
t a mutter \\hlch concerned the whole board
and thought that the board should investi
gate at once.
Then Chief Seavey recommended that the
office of chief of detectives be abolished and
: hat Chief Haze be made a sergeant on the
lollce force. The chief also recommended
: hat several ofilcers whom he did not pub-
lely name bo dismissed from the force for
; eneral Incompetency , as they were not good
olHctrs and never would amount to anything
'
is policemen. HP suggested that the c'om-
mlSFlouers take the matter up at once and
Inquire Into the qualifications of these men.
All these matters were deferred for con
sideration until the board went into execu-
.Ive session. In executls'e session everything
Aas laid over until the special' ' meeting which
t will hold this evening.
HOOTINR BUSINESS. '
Mounted Officer Haze and Firemen Mc-
Gulro and GeUschmau were granted ten
days leave of absence.
The council requested the board to re
quire the police department to act in co
operation-with the Board of Health In sup
pressing nuisances and enforcing the health
ordinances.
George C. Ford , a special policeman at
Hayden Die ? . ' store , resigned : * " * ! , j
Police Judge Berka called the attention of
the commissioners to section 147 of 'the '
city charter , relative to the acceptance , of
jail by the chief of police or his dep'utlob ,
where prisoners are charged with bailable
offenses , and to the orderof the chief re
voking the power of his dcirtltfes to aciiept
jail from any prisoner. This causes 'the '
friends of prisoners to call the judge up at
nil hours of the night to got him to''rclt'1age
.hese persons under arre&t.
Officer Mitchell submitted a communication
complaining to the board that the cityprose
cuter \\ould not co-operate vlth hfm In en
forcing the city ordinances after ho hadar- |
rested'and worked up a case against TlmoJhy
Kelly for building a wooden sidewalk at the
corner of Thirteenth and Chicago streets.
The matter' was , referred ta , the maybr. ,
Cominlssfoner Coburn declined to approve
a livery bill for $5 Incurred by Chief De
tective Haze In trying to recapture James
Noland , who escaped from the 'detective
while ho was asleep at South Omaha on 'his '
way to this city. Haze bnld In his communi
cation that Commissioner Strlckler advised
him to present the hill to the boai'd. Cdm-
mUsloner Smith said he was not In favor of
allowing any bills which the officer had In
curred through his own caielessne.sa.
Strlckler and Smith of the finance com-
nlttpe recommended that Clilef Seavey ba ul-
oWed $50 per month for epeclal detective
work , such as securing evidence against
gamblers and lottery dealer * .
COUURN IS AFTER HIM.
Commissioner Coburn , Who is also a mem-
> er of this committee , made an unfavorable
report In the matter and said that "ho nould
vote against any such appropriation , not
only because he was of the opinion that
.hoy had no authority for such action , but
10 thought that UIQ money could be better
expended , lie was quite certain that the
city wanted no more detectlvu work , such
as occurred yesterday , when an officer , whom
10 would name when the pioper time came ,
committed a most outrageous and entirely
mcalled for act. This officer saw a case of
jeer delivered at the house of one of the
most respectable and worthy fumllles In
Omaha yesterday afternoon. The commis
sioner said ho was not certain whether the
officer saw the case of beer dellveicd or just
leard of It , but at any rate this fellow went
up to the house , called upon the lady of the
louse and demanded that slio show film her
marriage license. The woman was over
come with mortification , and the commis
sioner said that he would not have been
surprised , after learning of the matter , If
he officer had arrested the woman then and
hero. Mr. Coburn denounced the act aa
a damnable outrage and he spoke In no un
certain terms when he said that this case
would be called before the police board as
soon as It could got time to hear It , , [
On the request of Stricklcr the committee j 1
withdraw Its recommendation ot a fund for
Bpeclnl detectlvpnrork.
The committee ? on lawi nnd regulations
reported that Itt Had examined Into the
troubles exlstlnpnaiiioiig the firemen on ac
count of dlpfltUUfHollon over matters In the
board of directors of the Paid Firemen's
Benevolent OMoMntlon and that as the as
sociation was an Incorporated concern the
commissioners Iwl no right to take any
action In the matter. This leaves the trouble
to bo settled In tlic- courts , where the facts
In the case will > .bo Riven an airing.
Ofllcers 3. S.Dlummy and Kelly and
Flrcmnn RamgeMvare allowed pay for the
time they lost while ? off duty because of In
juries received while attending to their
duties.
The request of Chief dalllgan for three
additional firemen was refused because ot a
lack ot funds. The request of Officer
O'Oorman to be transferred for duty In the
fire department was also refused.
Commissioners Coburn , Strlckler and Hartman -
man wore appointed as a committee to wait
upon the editor of The Bee and Inform him
that they were * going to Investigate the
charges made In The Bee against the 4gtec-
live department at their special meeting
this evening , and ask him to co-operate
with them In securing evidence against
certain members of the department against
whom charges have been made.

Councllmen Ryan nnd Conlcy got after
the street car companies at the council meet
ing last night with a vengeance. These gen
tlemen live In the Third ward and both
have been trying for some time to force the
street car company to extend Its line across
the viaduct and over Into the Third and
Fourth wards. A few days ago Mr. Ryan ,
as chairman of a bpeclal committee , waited
on Iho company and received a
final answer to the effect that the
company would not extend Its line for the
present. As a result Mr. Ryan Is after the
company with a sharp stick. Ho first go
through a motion to compel the Metropolitan
Street Car company , which runs between
Soifth Omaha and Albright , to lower It
tracks to a level with the street. Next he
asked for a special committee to Investigate
the franchises of the street car companies
and sec If some steps could not be taken to
compel the Omaha company to extend Its
line.

Mr. Conley's motion to tax the cars am
poles of the company prevailed , and Mr. Ryan
followed up by asking for an ordinance reg
ulating the speed of street cars In the city.
Mr. Walters was not to be outdone and lie
gave the street car company a left-handec
slap for ruining the L street viaduct with
ltss tracks and spikes and then abandoning
the line.
The city attorney was asked for an opinion
He said that If the city went Into the courts
It might be a long time before a final opin
ion could be reached.
The councllmen were loaded for the com
pany , however , and Mr. Walters submitted
a resolution declaring the rails laid by the
street car company on the L street viaduct
a nuisance and ordering them removed at
once. The resolution ! passed.
Mr. Ryan also put through a resolution to
the effect that the street car company be
notified to repair the viaduct under the di
rection of the city engineer , and if the com
pany refused , to have the work done and
tax the coat up to the said company.
A petition liberally signed was read request
ing that the property owners on Twenty-

This Is Always Tiic First Thing The
Doctor Says ,
JUST WHY HE DOES IT.
The Latent titternnca of Modern Science
on the Twin Uumtlon of Digestion
nnd I'lionic.
Why docs the doctor look at your toliguc ?
Dccauso the condition and color of the
tongue Is one of the Indications of the state
of the stomach ,
llccauso ninety-nine out of one hundred
complaints are simply results ( and there
fore symptoms ) of a dlsordctcd digestion.
Hcforo treating you the doctor must know
what the stomach has to say.
Part of that tale the tongue tells him ,
but not all.
There are plenty of other signs which
you may recognize for yourself. "You only
need to know what they mean.
A sense ofvelght and pain In the stomach ,
chest and back after eating , headache and
sleepiness , a yellowish color of the eyes and
skin , spells of dizziness , head hot and ex
tremities cold , bad taste In the mouth and
foul breath , weariness and languor , the gulpIng -
Ing up of wind or gas , unnatural Irritability
and fretfulness , dry skin , losr of or variable
appetite , bad dreams and broken sleep , con
stipation and Irregularity ot the buuels ,
flushes of heat and cold , aching of the back
and limbs , etc. '
The remedy Is not drugs but diet , the
new pre-dlgcitcd starch food called Paskola.
Delng pre-dlgeit-'d , Pa dola nourishes the
body , feeds It , strfngthens It , sustains it ,
wlillq the stomach rests and gets well.
Paskola does not sicken nnd tear you to
pieces as cathartics do , nor stimulate for
you an hour , as "tonics" do.
It Is food containing the nutrient princi
ples of other foods condensed , pre-dlgebted ,
Immediately assimilable , pleasant as lemon-
ad c. <
c.llclng a pro-digested food ( exactly what
was needed ) It solves the problem and leaves
nature to repair her own machinery.
Just see what Paskola has done for others :
WESTON , N. J. , March C , 1894. The PreDigested -
Digested Food Qo. , 30 Reado St. , New York-
Gentlemen. 1 have commenced upon my
third bottle of Paskola today. Permit mete
to say that It Is simply wonderful ; not only
are Its effects at once realized \\hen suffer
ing from dyspepsia1 , Indigestion , faint stomach
ach and slnillar afflictions , but upon the
general system It puts now life immediately
without having to wait a week or UNO to
reallre a slight Improvement In oneself.
I have bppn treated by three very good
phylclatib and one specialist In New York
City for dyspepsia and general debility , and
have never experienced In their costly treat
ment the change that I am now undergoing.
Accept this as my heartfelt acknowledg
ment and truthful estimation of the great-
eat discovery of this enlightened age. Sin
cerely and respectfully ,
MRS. R. P. CASY.
WEVERTOWN , N. Y. , May 7 , 1S1M. The
Pre-Digested Food Co. . 30 Reade St. , New
York Gentlemen : I feel It my duty to write
and tell the public what Paskola has done for
me. Three years ago 1 was taken sick. I
tried all kinds of medicine , which did me no
good , when at last I called a physician , who
told me that I had dyspepsia In Its worst
form and there was no hope for me.
At last I thought I would try Pahkola , and
have taken two 50-cent bottles. I can say I
am a great deal better. My stomach will
bear food now. When I commenced taking
Paskola , I could eat only one tablesioonful
of meal made In a gruel , now I can eat al
most anything I want , und I thank God I
have found a cure at last. Yours truly ,
MRS. EMILINE MORGAN.
Paskola may be obtained of any reputable
druggist. A pamphlet on food and digestion
will be mailed free on application to The
Pro-Digested ) Food Co. , 30 Rcade St. , New
York.
