One of the greatest hobbles In town Is ps- tossed by Tom Hughes , down-town gent's furnisher. His hobby seems to be neckwear. You can find anything In that line from a eoinnon Cc Windsor to the gaudiest scarf , and the funniest part of It Is he doesn't seem to care for making money out of them. His lines at 25c , 35e , and 50c are particularly itrong. If you are down In th ? neighborhood it S19 Main street , drop In and luve him ihow 'em to you. What the OMlrUU Knr. The reports of the meeting of the "Good Government club" were read with a good deal of Interest by the city ofllclals yester day , even though tbcy did not feel enough Interested the night before to go down to the court house and dltpute the assertion that they were all scalawags and blacklegs , and DUght to bo In the penitentiary. "There Is Just a little bit of Inconsistency. It seems to me , " remarked one of this much despised class of city officials yester day , "In what this club says nt different times. In one breath they roast us because wo don't use the sinking fund to make up deficler.clet In the general fund , and then In tbo next one they say we ought to go to the penitentiary because wo tranifer money from the police fund to the general fund.

LETTERS CONTAIN NOTHING INCRIMINATING Mhcr Cnim Agnlnut Him Mill Likely lie Dropped District Attorney I'nllcr Think * Such Aisoclntloni Need Wntchlnc. Judge Shlras decided the case of the United States aggatnst W. 3. Richmond , he promoter of the Union Building and Sav- ngs association of DCS Molne ; , In accord ance with his remarks just before court closed Friday afternoon. The only question was , did the defendant violate the United States law In mailing a letter In further ance of a scheme to defraud. He thought not , although he admitted that the scheme .0 defraud had bcn well ventilated. The ettcrs contained not the slightest allusion to dividends , the association stock or Its condition and said nothing that could be construed as an Inducement to the people to whom they were directed to subscribe. Tli3 questions put to Richmond by Hrldcn- stcln were only such as Brldenstcln had a right to ask , and the answers he made were only such as Richmond had a right to make. As ho could sec nothing objectionable In the letters , he Instructed the Jury to bring In a verdict of acquittal , and this was done. District Attorney Fullen states that It Is liardly likely that another Indictment will be brought against Richmond on the strength of the representations made In the circulars which he sent out , showing the financial con- illtlon of the association , for he would find It dim cult to make the charges stick. The Jefense would be that Richmond was merely ilolng his duty as an officer of the association In booming It for all It was worth. 'We ought to have attacked this whole system of national building and loan as sociations , " said he In conversation , "for they ore n good deal on the lottery plan. The system of building and loan associations started In the form of local concerns , which were all right. They wre run on a safe , conservative , business plan , for the purpose of aiding their members to build homes for themselves. Most of the stockholders weremen , who would never In the world have owi > their own homes without some such ilevlce to assist them. Then the national loan associations came Into the field and were run purely us a speculation , without any thought of aiding in home building , but merely to pay big profits and hold forth mammoth Inducements to the public. They mve forsaken the original plan , and the ollicfrs In charge have been allowed to resort to all sorts of shady transactions. "Tho Council Bluffs subscribers paid In $800 a month , and of that amount $123 was nit Into the expense fund. Does ! It look right that a man should have to pay a set of officers 1C cents for managing the other 84 cents of every dollar he puts Into a con cern. There Is something wrong In the way Lhese things are manipulated. " Judge Shlras refused to make any entry In the cases of the government against J. L. Crawford and J. W. Muffly , the under standing being thru they will be attended to at the next Des Molnes term. The prob ability Is , however , that the result of Rich mond's trial will be the dismissal of the suits against his two alleged confederates. Bven then , however , they will not be out of the woods , by any means. Richmond Is un der Indictment In Des Molnes for the em bezzlement of the association funds , and both he nnd Crawford are Indicted for con spiracy to defraud. Doth of these cases will ccme up fcr trial at the next term of the district court cf Polk county. UKNNlRON 1IKOS. Mny Clnnrlnc ; bnlo.

CAN FIND NO TUACE Of WITKKK DUnpppnrcil l.ntt December nnd Nothing ; Ilm Since llccn llrnnl from Him , Where Is Fred Wltzke ? Up to last De cember ho lived with his family at 328 Wil liams strict , but since that time he has been missing , and all efforts to locate him have been fruitless. He was a soldier In the civil war , and well known In army circles. For Bomo years he was employed as track walker for the Rock Island. Ills life had a great deal of trouble In It. Drink proved the mas ter of him , and little by little he became un able to provide his family with the necessa ries of life. Last December ho came home one day and told the members of his family that he had decided to go away and they would never see him again. There seemed to u ? no love lest between theni , and they made but llttlo opposition to the plan. During the past winter his family has been cared for by the overseer of the poor and the commissioner of the soldiers' fund. Two of his eons died of consumption during the last twelve months , and another Is new slowly sinking with the * same disease. They have been dependent en their friends for what the county did not furnish them , and In this way have managed to get along , although thslr homo Is a desolate enough place. When Wltzko went away he took his pen sion papers with him. He hid drawn his quarterly pension money October 1 , but most of that was gen J. J. Watts , the commis sioner of the schllers' fund , Instituted Inquiry at the pension ofllc ? In Des Molr.ea , hoping to find where he had drawn his last two quar terly stipends. The letter he sent was re ferred to Commissioner Lochren at Wash ington , and yesterday Watts received a letter stating that nelth r the January nor the April pensions had been drawn. From this It looks very much as thcugh he had com mitted ciilcldo , for he did not have money enough to go very far , and If he had been alive he would have bren very apt to collect the money aa fast as It became due.

The Idea of the Incen diary evidently was to clean out the whole outfit , The fire bad a good start before the department wag notified , as the penon who discovered It ran to the engine house on lower Broadway , nearly a mile away , to live the alarm. The house was entirely de stroyed , but the firemen kept the flames 'rom the other bulldlngp. The burned bulld- 'ng belonged to a man named Brown , who tecpe a furniture store In Omaha , a son-ln- aw of S. Goldstein of this city. The damage was about flOO. C. O. I ) . 1IHO\TN.

Plerson are arousing greater Interest In re ligious matters than any that have been held here for years. Every night last week the First Presbyterian church was filled , and the sermons were Interesting and eloquent. Mr. Plerson Is a vigorous speaker , almost being carried away at times by the force of Ills own rhetoric. Ho "talks with a vengeance and quits with a snap , " to paraphrase one of his own remarks , and when he has said all lie has to say , the audience has no doubts on the subject. He lays down the truths he desires to Impart In a convincing manner. Ills assistant , F. T. Johnson , Is a valuable one , the music under his direction being an important feature of each service. The following Is the program for today's meetings : 9:30 : a. in. Presbyterian church. Mr. Pier- son will Bpenk , subject : "The Baptism of the Holy Spirit. " 10:30 : n. m.

Mara h Cain pi ) ell. A pleasant event , and one out of the or dinary , took place at the Christian home Thursday evening. It was the first wedding In the home. The young people were Mr. Frank E. Marsh and Miss MinnieCampbell. . Mr. Marsh Is the adopted son of Matron Dakan , and has been living In the home for more than ten years. Miss Campbell has been connected with the office force for more than a year. She Is a beautiful and InterestIng - Ing young lady , who , after fitting herself for a llfo work In the foreign mission field and accepting an assignment In India , be came acquainted with the orphanage , and felt called upon to take up this work of labor and love In the Interest of homeless children. In the presence of a few Invited friends and the Inmates of the homo the happy event took place , the manager officiating. The bride's dress was a handsome creme India silk , sent to her from India by her sister , who Is now and has been In the missionary work there for nine years. The groom was dressed In the regulation black. Rev. Mr. Davenport of Brlmfleld , 111. , who has spent a number of years In the missionary fields In Africa , acted as best man , and Miss Ward as maid of honor. The presents were useful as well as numerous and beautiful , and came from friends In different states. W. S. Cooper wrote about $30,000 tornado Insurance yesterday. He has the strongest companies , and It costs but little to get abso lute protection. A wind storm may damage your house a few dollars , or sweep It away. The calamity would be lightened If you were protected against all such Icrs. Indications are that this will bea dangerous storm year , a belief shared by dozens of prominent men , who applied for protection yesterday. There are lots of new things In vapor stoves for the public to expsrlment on. Dan't waste your money that way. Buy a Quick Meal or a Reliable of Cole & Cole. They have been tried and tested for years and are safe and right. It only costs $7.50 to carry $1,000 tornado policy on your hous ? for three years. See W. S. Cooper about It. Imllcuuut < atlot * . The High Echcols cadets , and particularly tlielr girl friends , are particularly wrought up over an Item that appeared In The Bee yetterday to the effect that the drill Friday night at the Coliseum In Omaha was the work of young men who graduated from the High school a ilecado ago , this being the ex planatlon for the superior work done by the Council Bluffs boys. The Indignation Is principally due to what they term the dis courtesy of the people of Omaha In Inviting them over to give an exhibition drill and then trying to discredit their work. Superintendent Sawyer , when asked what was the truth of the statement that the cadets' ranks were filled up with Grand Army veterans , said : "It Is entirely false. It Is very doubtful If any of the boys who drilled Friday night were In school nt all ten years ago , Jt Is certain that none of them have yet graduated. Two of them , the second and third sergeants , Green and Lyon , graduated last Juno from the two years' business courses , but they went right on with one of the four-year courses , and are Just ns much High school pupils now as they ever were. I was told by a member of the regular army who witnessed the drill that t3ie work done by the Council Bluffs High school cadets was the best of the whole evening.

Omnlm WHS Warned Against Tliora , A poor blind man , a woman , a red-headed boy and a little girl visited the olllce of the county commissioners yesterday after noon and later the police station , asklni ; for assistance , but at no place did they receive much sympathy , for a letter had been received from John B. llelfrager , over seer of the poor of Sioux City , announcing beforehand their coining. Mr. lielfrager de nominates them professional beggars. He KHVH that while In Sioux City they worked the county commissioner * ) for a railroad ticket to Omaha , and worked sympathizing citizens , Including Chief of Police Young , for a considerable sum of money.

If It Is true that the richest treasures arc wrapped In the smallest parcel ? , then It Is equally true that as actors the Llllputlans are worth far more than the majority of their full-grown contemporaries. These brilliant little people will close their engagement of seven performances at Boyd's theater on this ( Sunday ) evening In their spectacular pro duction , "Humply Duuipty Up to Date. " Their wonderful performances have given dc- light to both old and young , and otter such evidence that they have given , who can say that fairyland does not exist ? One might as well deny the actuality of Cinderella and Red Hiding Hood , or say that Jack the Giant Killer did not accomplish the wonderful feats that have made him forever famous. When one realizes the perfect Intelligence of these little creatures , each one of whom Is from two to three feet high , one feels that one must bs preciously near that won derful kingdom of clfs and gnomes where one has only to express a wish or move u wand In order to enjoy countless blesilngs , or behold , tripping before , myriads of wonder fully diminutive beings. If the stage of the Boyd becomes not Just now the real fairy land , It Is because It Is something Infinitely better. The little people who furnish the en tertainment are not airy sprites ; they are genuine , substantial men and women , who live In the same world with the rest cf us. who are carrying on a larger builness en terprise than most full-grown men are for tunate enough to control , and who act with Intelligence and finish that far surpass the efforts of the average player. Sousa's grand concert band , the most pro nounced musical success of recent years , will bo heard here In two concerts on Tucslay , May 14 , and Its coming will be a most In teresting event to all professionals and music lovers. The history of military bands shows no parallel to the favor which this organiza tion has attained within the two years of Its existence. Such a result could be achieved only by musical merit of the highest order , Intelligently nnd conscientiously presented to the public. Mr. Sousa long ago demonstrate , ! that he Is In every way a masterly band con ductor. He maJo the Marine band of Wash ington famous for Its excellence , and followe' this by organizing , two years ago , for Mana ger Blakely , what has repeate-dly and uni versally been proclaimed the finest concert band ever heard In America. It will be the general desire , therefore , of all to hear the playing of this peerless organization when It cornea. Emily Baucker and a selected company of artists , known cs the leading exponents of po'lshcd ccmedy , pUy an ingaement at Boyd's ' theater on WeJnesday and Thursday , May ID and Iti , when Mrs. Musgrave's great come-ly hit , "Our Flat , " will be prcjenteJ. It Is said to be one of the rare treats of the season , nnd a genuinely great and deserving success. It Is now enjoying quite a long run at' the Strand theater , London , where It has nearly reached Its 800th performance. It was first produced In America by Daniel Frohman at the Lyceum theater , New York , where It played 100 consecutive nights to enormous business. "Our Flat" In a nutshell Is one of the most amusing and cleverly put together plays of Its kind seen In years. The Intro duction of high class numbers will be a fea ture of the performance. The scenery will bo new and novel , while the costuming will overshawow anything seen In eomo time. Tde cast speaks for Itself , Including Tom Rlcketts , P. H. Ryley , George W. Parsons , J. G. Glen- ney , W. H. Wallls , Marlon Van CourtlanJ , Leo Jarvls , Vesta Verne and others. The paper has been hung upon the outer wall announcing that "the boys with the horns are coming , " In other words , that the annual Elk minstrel entertainment will take place at Boyd's theater one- week from to morrow evening. The long window hangers and the lithographs seen In the store windows dews and In the Interior of business places about town add emphasis to the announce ment. They tell a very amusing story , In effect that ten funny end men , every one of whom Is well known throughout the city , will , under the interlocution of J. Edgar Owens , crack the liveliest kind of new and original Jokes , many of which will be at the expense of other men about town equally as well known. If not more so , than them selves. The Elk quartet and popular soloists will Intermingle with the humor of th ? evenIng - Ing a number of the most popular songs of the day , to all of which new words have been set , giving local application to the songs. The first part will be a picture long to bo remembered , with an elaborate stage setting for a background. Sixty of the most active members of Omaha lodge of Elks , In full evening dress , with black curly wigs and blackened faces , will entertain a house packed with their friends for about an hour and a half. Then will como a few special ties and sketches In the olio , occupying per haps three-quarters of an hour , the perform ance concluding with "The Wedding of Sarah Jane , or the Conspirators of Park Avenue , " written expressly for the occasion by T. H , Hodder. The performance will excel that of a year ago. The tickets now being sold by members can be exchanged next Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at the Boyd theater box office. One year ago many people went to the theater at the hour named for the open ing of the- - sale and were surprised to see a line of people there who had been waiting from G o'clock In the morning. In consequence quence , although the rule limiting the num ber of tickets to each purchaser was rigidly enforcsd , about 700 seats were told In the first hcur , and those who were late ( although they thought they were eariy ) had to take seats that were not satisfactory to them. The lesson to be learned Is to b ? In time when the sale opens next Saturday morning. The approaching engagement at Boyd's theater of Mr. Peter F. Dalley and his collection of farceurs promises , to make an epoch In the local history of high-class en tertainment of tha light and airy sort. The play which seeks to Introduce the Jocund Peter and his companions Is entitled "A Country Sport , " suggestive of a lot of fun and built expressly to fit the unique talents of Mr. Dalley by Mr. John J , McNally , the dramatic critic of the Boston Herald. Though a long favorite In farce , Mr. Dalley first essayed to star last season , and , as was predicted by everybody familiar with his varied accomplishments , he was promptly Installed by the public In a very exalted position among the farce comedians of the day. Talented May Irwln , comical John G. Sparks , grotesque Ada Lewis and sweet- voiced Andrew Mack will again cavort In "A Country Sport , " while others of meritor ious repute will be Harry M. Morse , Martd Harris , Belle Muni , Marie Miller , Freda Depew , James F. Callahan. Clint nf Clio Stnge. "Trilby" Is coming to Omaha the last night cf May and the first two nights of June. The Llllputlans go to St. Joseph and Kan sas City tonight , via the Missouri Pacific , taking a special train after the performance. Manager Hayncs of Boyd's said last night that his bookings for next season were far In advance of any season since his house opened. The season at Boyd's will commence early and Roland Reed In repertoire will be the attraction during state fair week. The annual matinee for the benefit of the actors' fund U set down for May 9 at Pal mer's , New York. Estelle Clayton has ar ranged with the officers of that charity to produce a comic opera of her own writing , entitled "The Viking , " under a guarantee by her that the receipts shall reach a speci fied sum. Srno has formed a capable company and prepared for a good production , with a view to sending the piece on a tour. A letter to the > dramatic editor from Man ager W. J. Burgess of the Crelg'nton theater , who Is now In New York looking after his bookings for next season , says : I have seen "Little Christopher , " "Too Much Johnson , " "Pudd'nhead Wilson , " "The Fatal Card , " "The Foundling , " with Cissy Fitzgerald In the cast , and "Captain Paul. " These ttiows have all done big buxlness , and are still doing It. "The Fatal Card" has made a wonderful success , and they tell me things look a little melodramatic for next season. The outlook for the testimonial to Charles W. Couldock Is that It will bo a big affair at the Fifth Avenue , New York , on May 31. Joseph Brooks , chairman of the executive ccmmlttee , of which the other members are Marc Klaw , Charles B. Jefferson , J. Charles Davis and Daniel FrcJiman , said the other day : "Having decided to perform 'The Rivals , ' we started In to get a great cast , and circumstances have favored us.

"I think my case illustrates the elllclcncy of the treatment of Drs.

My catarrh was of the wor t form , not only In the head and throat , but It went all through me , acting- like n slow blood poison. Some time after the catarrh appeared 1 began to have regular hay fever with Inllame-J nnd wntery nose nnd eyes , sore throat , headache nnd u suffocating cough with paroxysms of sneezing. In snim- inera I could scarcely sleep nt all , during the night I always took cold. Often 1 would cough and sneeze for an hour at a time by the clock. These attacks were so exhausting that I was unable to work at all In warm weather. In short , I was n complete Invalid. " The great thing about my treatment was that It proved genuine and lasting. A few treatments gave me comfort and strength , nnd In a little while I got entirely well and I have been free from every dis tressing symptom. The cost was almost nothlnp.

The men will have a hearing at the Inquest today , Mr. W. S. Coin , chief detective of the Alton , who help d make the arrest , was the first witness examined at the coroner's In quest. He said that Bryant , a beardless boy of 18 years , made a statement to him after his arr'st. Bryant told him that on the night of May 1 , In company with Myers and Frost , he started frcm Cramers with the Intention of holding up the Chicago & Alton train and robbing the passengers. All were armed and masked. Bryant says that Myers was the ringleader , and made him ( Bryant ) and Frost , after they got on the front end of the mall car , climb over the tender and Instructed them on penalty of death to hold up the engineer and run the train to Anderson switch , a se cluded spot , and rob the passengers. On reaching the engineer's cab , Bryant says , Frost entered first and flourishing his revolver , ordered the engineer to hold up hli hands. Frost , he thought , fired first , and was sure that ho hit the engineer , who re sisted from ths first. The engineer struck at Bryant with a coal pick , and ho fired at him three times. As soon as they discovered that the engineer was killed , they Jumped from the train nnd fled. Bryant said Myers and Frost did the planning of the robbery , and said that Myers told them frequently that If they did not do aa told them , he would kill them. them.When When placed on the stand Bryant admitted making the foregoing statement.
