H Is certain that ho will desist until bin face hials up , ami from present Indica tion that will take fcomc considerable length of tlnu- . Ulacksmlth Kelly used the school teach er's face as an anvil and his own fist ns a sledge , simply because ho caught Hodges In quite a compromising position with Mrs. Kelly.

Wednesday Mr Kelly was Informed that n man visited his wife during the afternoon and escorted her homo thut night from down town. He was given a description of the In dividual and when the school teacher pjised the blacksmith shop jesterday aftei- noon Kelly thought that be had found hla man. The blacksmith therefore followed Hodges to his home and saw him enter. He waited a few minutes and then crept up to the house He looked Into the window and alleges that he saw Mrs Kelly and Hodges In each othem' arms. The blacksmith quickly entered a rear door and before the couple knew that any one was about Kelly landed on the side of the school teacher's head and knocked him down upon the bed. Then he pummelcd him to his heart's confent 'Iho woman at once rushed out of the houae and told some of the neighbors that her husbiml was killing a man The neighbor hood was aroused , and a riot call was turned In for the police. When the latter arrived , Kellj was awaiting them nnd the school teacher was attending to his battered face , his shirt and clothes being covered with blood. Kelly was arrested on the chaige of as sault and batteiy. He succeeded in obtaining bondsmen at once and was released. Tne school teacher was also taken to the police station and the city phvsiclan was bUm- moncd to attend to his builses. Kelly beirs excellent recommendatloni > . His emplojers bay that ho Is a sober , indus trious man. Hodges maintains that It Is all a mistake Ho eays that he went to Kelly's house tor the purpose of finding some colored woman to tlo his washing. Ho has been In the city for a couple of dajs and says that he had been stopping at a hotel. 1' VI M.lNRTO'V IS \ \ IO ami Teller lla-io DlflVrciit TIicorlrN mi tli < > llsiiiicaraiioc. | | "Rev. " W. J. Paulllngton , a trance me dium , lies been missing since Wednesday and his wife Is very much afraid that something has happened to him. The police , however , have different ideas regarding the disappear ance. Paulllngton and h's wife came to Omaha about ten dajs ago from Slou\ City and have been living at 1707 Cass street. He left his wife Wednesday afternoon to visit a female tiance medium of this city , but Mrs Pau.- lingtco docs not know who she Is or where , she lives. Mrs Panllliigton believes that her husband has met with some sort of an acci dent. She ea > s that borne time ago he read the stais and discovered that he was sched uled to meet with an accident some time during the day of September 29 She thlnka that the planets got off the track since that time and that the accident came sooner than It should. That Is what she told the police when ahe reported the loss of her husband The police say that Paulllngton was seen on the street Wednesday with a woman and therefore do not take much stock In the planet story. They are , however , making an effort to find the lost man. I'UIKS TIMJS HIS DIAMOM1 STUD. roiirrty In fluI'liKHONMlon of Frll/ 1'Jt-rrou. R. F.

Among the manr-'eTldenofi ? of confidence In the stability of Omaha nnd faith In the Improved bumlncso conditions of the state , which can In thipn dnye be ccn on almost every hand , Is the notion of the W R.

The Uwmctls consider It only the exercise of good Judgment to get them selves In nliapo to be able to meet and to successfully cope with these changing con dition ! * In 1S7S W R Hennrtt & Co , a firm , began business In this city , handling a. single line of trade After a few jeans It began lo branch out and take In now llnei ? . and Iho extent of the business became so greatly enlarged that It was found necessary to Incorporate This was done , the capital stock placed t $25,000. The shares were all held by Immediate- members of the family. This limitation upon the stock holders was not made specially to clrcum- ecrlbo the benefits which might be deilvett from management of the Incorporation , but that the name of "Tho W R Hcnnctt Com pany , " which vva-f at this time adopted , might bo continued as long as the buslines wao conducted. After Its incorporation the company re sumed Us efforts at branching out , taking In new lines of trade , and absorbing one store building after another to accommodate the ever-growing demand for room , until now the name of the W R Dennett company , with out further embellishment , Instinctively car ries with It In all western localities the name of thla cltj- , and the knowledge that almcot every need of the public can bo supplied by this establishment Tills In also another reacon why the Integrity of the name IS jealously guarded by the limitations upon the capital stock. U has become essential , howcvei that there should be some chstiges that the business might keep pace wllh the new life and energy which baa Just begun making Itself felt In this city. With thlti end In view , amended articles of Incorporation were pie- pared , Increasing the capital stock to $100- 000 , fully paid up , and reorganizing the company. In ehooslug the olllcial board W. R. Dennett has been retained an presi dent and manager and S F. Dennett secre tary and treasurer. The only change In the official personnel Is the election of Miss Cornelia C. Dennett as vice president. The connection of Miss Dennett with the com pany Is something of an accident A few jcara ago , while her father waa In Cali fornia she went Into the store to assist dur ing his absence. She was without pievlous experience , but she ro quickly developed an interest In and an aptness for the business that she ban become * almost a fixture and Is considered very nearly Indispensable in the management of the dlvcis matters con nected with this complicated business Ab a cement to bind her to the enterprise she is made vice president of the company , with c large share of the managerial caies placed upon her. While In a measure these changes may only have inficst to the corporation Itself , yet when any great enterprise increases Its facilities for business and strengthens Us force managing the same , it bccomct ) , to a largo extent , an action of Importance to the publicH Is an evidence of faith In the commercial intcgrltj of the community and an absurcnco of confidence that such justice has been rendered In dealing with the public which will merit and produce reciprocal re lations , and that such methods have been more than satisfactory. \VaiiUMl in riillatlcliihln.

The completion of the negotiations for the airangement of western train service , which ha\o b"cn pending for some time past , has the effect of giving the Milwaukee a better weatoin outlet that It has heretofore enjojed That th" now combination is going to make a strong bid for western business Is evident from the manner in which It Is starting operations Passenger agents of all other lines are- being notified of the new route and of the commissions that will ba paid for business The following Is an extract from the circular just sent out by General Pas senger Agent H cation ! ' "In addition to the foregoing , we would like to have represental on to points on the Oregcn Short line And its connections , bv the way of Ogden We would be glad If jour agents \.ould be instructel by spechl circular from your office that there Is 'an other Richmond In the field' for business Jo points beyond the M'ssourl river Since the completion of our short line between Chicago cage and Omaha In 1SS2 , this Is really the drat opportunity we have had ( through the Kindness of our western connections ) to enter Into active competition for passenger traffic between the east and the far west.

To a Hee reporter je&terday Mr. Lo- mn\ said : "There is every prospect for a good amount of California travel this autumn and winter. I shouldn't be ( surprised if It would be better than for n long time. The crops are good , the farmers are getting mo-e money for their products than ever before , and there Is bound to , bo more money bpent In traveling. I do not look for the increase In travel to start in very early. I think It will not be appreciable until after harvest time but from 'November ' on there should bo a splendid amount of California buslnc s There Is a good amount of travel In the west now. The far west appeals to be In ex. cellent condition , and e\er > one seems to be happy. "What do I think of the now combination of the Hock Island and the Milwaukee for western business ?

An unexpected an 1 mizzling move on the part of the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Memphis road threw the v eate-n roads Into a state of excitement to lay. This road gave notice that effective today It would reduce grain rates from Kan sas City to New Orleans fiom 21 to 15 cell's , the i eduction to continue In force till Sci > tember 9. The rate will apply on export grain only. The action of this line Is In comprehensible to the other roads , as they all have more grain than they .can move at p'csent charges. Under ordinary clicum- stances the cut would be met from Chicago and St. Louis. Aa things are now , and ns the ate IH only In foi a limited parlod , the .probabilities are that It will bo Ignored In contrast to the Memphis line , the Illinois Central line announces that beginning Sep tember G It will advance Its rate on export com from 10 to 15 cents between Chicago and New Orleans Tiiiin I.i-iiM'N Rffcctivo Sunday evening next , August 29. there will be a change of time of the Kansas City express on the Kansas City , St. Joseph & Council muffs railroad out of Council Illuffs , The tialn will continue to leave Omaha at 10 o'clock p. m. , as heretofore , but Instead of leaving Council Illuffs at 11 o'clock , as at present , it will depart at 10 35 p m.
