fellow Laborers ,
The letter carriers of Omaha and South
Omaha , with a represenlallvo or two from
Lincoln , met In the federal court room In
the federal building Thursday night to greet
John N. Parsons , president of the Xation.il
Association of Letter Carriers , and to hear
him speak on topics of Interest to them.
Postmaster Crow first made a few remarks
In welcome of the guest of the carriers and
referred with congratulation to the manner
In which the president of the association
administered ita affairs.
Ho was followed by Edward Rosewaler ,
who defined Ibo position of the Idler carrier
In Iho American governmenl and society and
paid a high tribute to Iho character of the
men engaged In the service. The duly of Iho
mall carrier was Ibat of a soldier and more.
Ho who servc < l his country by carrying Us
malls faithfully year after year was enllltod
to just as much recognition and credit as
the man who fought for It. And when he
was no longer able to servo should bo
granted a pension that would enable him to
pass the remainder of his days In comfort
Mr. Itosowater congratulated the teller car
rlcrs lhat a man who was Interested In their
welfare was at the head of the postal system
of the country , a man who realized lhat
while their lot was often a burdensome one ,
It was always performed with faithfulness to
the responsibility that the aurvlce carried
with It. lib promised that whenever It
should bo Within his power lo render Iho
carriers any aid ho .wourd cxcrl every effort
to do so.
Postmaster Ettor of South Omaha spoke
briefly , acknowledging the previous speak
er's offer of assistance and support. Ho be
llevcd also that the mall carriers performed
their work with as strong a scnso of duty
f as the soldiers.
f James Arkson , chairman of the commltleo
, > V. on legislation , who has accompanied the
*
president on his trip west , described the ex
perience of a-pnslmaster who goes to Wash
ington to secure- additional facilities for bis
office. Ho declared that the Postal depart
ment at Washlnglon at such times was a
cold machine.
President I'urnoiiN Speaks.
President Parsons was then Introduced
His address was of considerable length ant
dealt mainly with the civil service system In
Its relation to tbo mall curriers. Ho was
strong.'y against any reduction of tbo offices
to which the rules of the civil service ap
plied and ho declared that President McKln-
ley was ono of the staunchest supporters of
the system , In spile of Ihe fact that his
party In Ohio , the stale that made him
had Iwlco declared against It. Ho relatei
the story of how the organization had feared
thai wllh a change In the postmaster gen
eralship the order that forbade the rcmova'
of any carrier without len days' notice In
which to defend himself In perron or by lot-
ler , might bo revoked. Ho had been ono of
the committee which had called upon Presi
dent McKlnley before his Inauguration am
asked him to promise to prevent the ropea
of the order. The president had then sug
gested that he himself Issue a proclamation
establishing the rule , thus pfaclns it out
of the power of any postmasler general to
revoke It. And this suggestion of his own
ho had later carried out.
The letter' ' carrief. President Parsons said
WK3 the. most widely known member of the
Government service. His uniform was the
same from ono end of the country to Ihe
olhor and ho was Idcnllfled In the public
mind by It. It was therefore Incumbent
upon blm to see that at all times he re
spected It In his conduct. Ono member of
the association might do more by thoughl-
less conduct to tear down the ropulallon of
the organlzallon than the national officers
could counteract with months of work.
Mr. Parsons' talk was full of practical
suggestions , of encouragement and hopeful
prediction. He asserted that with the co
operation of the press , which had been gen
erously promised them , the Omaha branch
of Iho association would bo able to accom
plish much.

O. P. W. Johnson Is the name of a Waterloo
lee farmer whoso absent-mindedness caused
his own arrest. Johnson came to Iho city
with n pocketful of money nnd started
In to see Ibo sights. Ho sought Ihe com
pany of men nnd women who quickly sep
arated him from bis coin and Thursday aft
ernoon Johnson found himself reduced finan
cially to tbo possession of only J5. Needing
this amount to purchase n ticket home , ho
placed the bill and the pocketbook In an
Inner walslcoast pocket. Then be forgot
Ihom. An hour later bo discovered that
the money pocket of his trousers was empty.
A colored woman named Mamlo Belts was
accused of the theft of the farmer's purse
and she was locked up. When Johnson was
being searched at tbo station preparatory
to being locked up as a complaining wit
ness the money was found In his cloths.
The woman was released nnd Iho ruslle was
locked up charged wllh Intoxication.

.AMUSEMENTS.
li was Bistonians' night at the il yd thca-
cr last r.lght and Iho story Is told as far
s attendance Is concerned. The ottering
was "Hob Roy , " a comic opera In three acts ,
ho libretto from the popular pen of Harry
> . Smith and the music written by Reginald
) o Koven.
"Rob Hoy" will never atlaln to the pop-
llarlty of cither "Robin Hood" or the "Ser
enade , " which are lo bo sung during this
engagement , that Is until golf becomes more
> opular with the public. The Mc's and tbo
Sandles were In very distinct evidence , of
course , while plaids and checks were the
correct apparel.
The music of "Rob Roy" IB of a strange
nature. Some of It Is suggestive of more
icrolc action than comic opora' , some of It
s on the order of the popular march and
again some of It is quite In place. The
irlnclpals had each a chance to do some
> romlncnt work and the general prescnta-
Ion of the opera was well received.
As 'Rob Roy , MucGrcgor , Oh ! " Mr. MacDonald -
Donald was equipped with his usual dash
ind Interesting action. His voice was In
excellent condition and the part Is one that
suits him to perfection.
Curloslly was rife wllh regard to William
. .avln , who Is known to many local music
overs , vocally , If not personally , and the
mpresslon which ho created was satis-
'actory. His voice Is bf good quality , well
balanced and carefully placed. His work
was marked by much of that unction which
s usually conspicuous by Us absence In the
tenors of comic opera.
Jessie Bartlett Davis , with her splendid
voice , Is bellcr lhan ever and much cer
tainly depends upon her In the exacllng role
of Flora MacDonald. She seems to have
more and more volco and Increased sympathy
on each appearance.
The renowned Barnabce , who has made
several generations laugh perhaps , was not
adequately provided for and ho made the
most lhat could be mode of lines which were
distinctly "Hoot , mon , " and of ccrlaln Jokes
lhat were as old as that beverage which
fell into the hands of Sandy McShurry , the
town crier. Mr. Barnabco Is so delightfully
humorous and he has such an able second In
George Frothlngham , that one expects many
very refreshing lines and , therefore , when
the book Is a bit dull , the effect Is quite
noticeable.
Helen Bertram , despite a singular method
of producing some of her lower loncs , portrayed
trayed faithfully the part of Janet , daughter
of the mayor of Perth. Her upper voice Is
cvcrylhlng lhat Is promised concerning her
and she bids fair to hold a strong place In
Ihe affections of the people who In every
town save their pin money for "The Bos-
lonlans. "
William Brodorlck made a magnificent
Highlander , as Cameron of Lochlel. His
part Is one of considerable slrength and It
was In good hands. Fitzgerald took the
,
palm In his Scotch dialect and ho presented <
a very clover character sketch , even If ho |
"had his doots aboot It. "
Josephine Bartlett was quite chic as the
captain of the Grenadiers and her volco was
as usual , pleasing.
The minor parts were sufficiently well
taken care of and the chorus was effective
throughout , conlrlbullng a reflection of
credit on Mr. Studloy , who conducted the
performance nnd had with him a good or-
( Cheslra , augmonlcd to a degree by local mu
sicians.
Tonight the curtain will bo rung up
promptly at 8:15 : , Instead , of 8:30 : , as It was
last night ,
The costuming of the opera was superb.
IlulldlnK Trades Council.
At the mooting of the Building Trades'
council last evening In Labor temple a com
plete boycott was declared against F. J.

the South Omaha man Is Interesled and to

The committee having In charge the strike

Miss Ella Day's pupils In elocution gave
a recital at Kountzo Memorial church last
night lo a fair-sized gathering of their
parents and friends. Masterpieces of oratory
tory from these of Shakespeare to those of
James Whltcomb Rlley were drawn upon to
furnish the young orators inalerlal wllh
which to illustrate their proficiency. Some
of them succeeded In showing a good deal
of it and some , In fact , showed themselves
to bo quite finished pupils. These who took
part were : George 11. Lunn , Edith Spencer ,
Julia Nagle , Grace Gordon , Arthur Jaqulth ,

BIG SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION
Partj of Forty Scientists Passes Through

TRAVELING BY UNION PACIFIC SPECIAL
Chartered Mtcntncr Avtalts Thrill nt
Scuttle ISxiieilltloti In Under AIIH-
IilccN of Clinlrniaii Iliirrltiiiut
at Union Pacific Director * .
A party of over forty prominent scientific
men , under the personal charge of E. 11 ,
Harrlman , chairman of the executive com
mittee of the board of directors of the Union
Pacific , passed through Omaha yesterday on
their way to Seattle , where they will take
ship for Alaska. They were met at the union
depot by tbu officials of the Union Pacific
road and taken for an hour's ride about the
city In chartered street cars. The mag
nificently appointed special train bearing the
party pulled out for the west shortly before
6 o'clock.
Mr. Harrlman was unwilling to glvo out
the names of the members of the parly , and
the members themselves declined to do so on
account of his wish that they be withheld.
The plan from the beginning has been to
avoid publicity. When the train arrived at
Chicago last night there had been no ad
vance knowledge of Us coming , save- among
the railroad men nnd It passed practically
unnoticed through the city. Some of the
members of the party , however , wore recog
nized here , some of them being the follow
ing : Dr. Datl and Dr. Elllotl of the Smith
sonian Institute , Washington ; Dr. Trelease ,
director of the Shaw Botanical gardens , St.
Louis ; Dr. Brewer of Yale university ; Prof.
John Mulr , Dr. Alton Saundcrs , n graduate
of the University of Nebraska ; Dr. Men-lam ,
head of the zoological division of th'o De
partment of Agriculture , Washington. Mr.
Harrlman and the members of his family
will accompany the party the entire way.
President Burl of the Union Pacific was with
the party from Chicago west and will ac
company It for a day or two , possibly to
Seattle.
The members of the party enjoy every ac
commodation and every luxury that the road
can place at their command , all the gift of
Mr. Harrlman and the company. Their train
consists of Mr. Harrlman's private car , two
stateroom sleepers , a dining car , a library
car and the necessary baggage cars. They
were told by Mr. Harrlman to take every
thing In the way of luggage that they might
have the least desire for nnd as a result
ere carrying an Immense quantity of ob
servation apparatus , microscopes , recepta
cles for specimens to bo collected and de
vices for gathering them. At Seattle the
party and Its accoutrements will be trans
ferred to a chartered steamer , the passenger
capacity of which Is 200. On Iho steamer
each party will have room enough to ac
commodate , besides himself , his apparatus
and collections. Two steam launches will
be taken along for work In shallow water ,
In the mouths of rlvors , among Islands and
along the coast.
The expedition will leave Seattle May 30 ,
and will bo gone about two months. The
route will take It at least as far north as
Kodlnk Island and possibly to the Aleutians.
Work will be done In almost every depart
ment of natural science , specialists In each
being In the party. The standard reference
books that the work will require have been
provided. Each of them bears the stamp ,

Twenty-fourth street , from Q south to
Mllroy , and Railroad avenue , from Mllroy
on to the county line. Is In a very aiiapiaa-
ted , If not actually dangerous , condition.
The heavy rains have washed great
holes In the roadway and for quite a dis
tance on both sides of these streets deep
trenches have been dug by the wnler , so
that It Is really dangerous to drive along
the thoroughfare at night. In addition to
the holes nnd gutters the tracks of the
Albright street car line are from six to
eighteen Inches above the roadway , mak
ing It almost Impossible for teams to cross
from one side of the street to the other.
This roadway Is the principal thoroughfare
Into the city from the south and dozens , If
not several hundred , teams pass along It
every day. A number of accidents have
occurred lately on account of the deep ruts
and It Is understood that several damage
claims will bo filed against the city by the
owners of broken vehicles.
Councilman Wear suggests that some of
the dirt lo bo taken from Tweiity-lhlrd
street when It Is graded be used in filling
the holes nnd gutters on Twenty-fourth
street from Q to Mllroy. It Is estimated
that It will take In the neighborhood of
25,000 cubic yards to properly fill the wash
outs. After this Is done the street com
missioner could bo directed to plow up
Railroad avenue from Milroy street to the
county line and then grade It so that the
storm water would run off without tearing
up the avenue. This was done two years
ago and for a short time the road was In
fairly good condlllon , but nothing In the
way of repairs to amount to any tiling has
been done for a long time.
As the Union Pacific railroad parallels
Railroad avenue from Mllroy street south on
the west the few property owners on the
east side of Iho avenue are pracllcally pow
erless as regards grading or paving , ns with
out the signature of the Union Pacific offi
cials a petition to the city council for cither
grading or paving would not contain the
required majority of property owner * .
Various plans have boon suggested for Iho
beltorment of the existing condition of af
fairs In this locality , but few appear to bo
practicable. A Hmall appropriation might
possibly be made by the county commis
sioners , and It IB understood that nil effort
will bo made to bring the matter before the
commissioners 'at nn early date.
Ono of the plans suggested Is that the city
council might declare .tho road a boulevard
and thus secure some help from the park
commissioners. It Is understood that the
park commission has quite a balance on hand
ut the present time which might bo used If
the commlBslcners were so disposed , to as
sist In placing this roadway in first-class
condition. In case this Is done the street
car company will bo compelled to pave be
tween its tracks , and this will bo quite a
help.
The boulevard plan Is being favorably con
sidered by quite n number of property own
ers In the southern portico of the city , and
It 'Is possible that a , petition to this effect
will be presented to the council before long.
When this Is done the park board will bo
called upon to assist In the reconstruction
of the roadway. In connection with the
park commissioners It Is elated that the su
preme court not long ago denied the right
of the district judges to name park commis
sioners , and gave the mayor the power to
name the members of this body. This baa i
been done In Omaha , and It Is asserted that I
the decision which gaveto Mayor Moores of i
Omaha this right gives to Mayor Ensor the ,
eame privilege. The present members of the
park board are Messrs. Vnn Onsen , Hunt and '
Mabery. It was stated yesterday that on or-
dfnance would coon bo Introduced In the
council making provision for an action of
this kind and clearing the way for the ap i
pointment of a new park commission by i
Mayor Eneor , 1
Ttv 'iity-l < 'onrlh Slrert Pavement.
Some of ( -taxpayers hero do not take
kindly to the Idea of the city at large paying
for the repairs to the pavement of Twenty-
fourth fitrect This street , they say , has
been greatly Improved and values Increased
by the laying of the pavement and for this
reason the owners of property abutting
ttiould bo willing to have the cost of the ro.
pairs assessed up against them. Another
reason given Is that quite portion of the
Twenty-fourth street residents will not bo
competed to pay any portion of the original
cost of the pavement , nr according to the
courts the tax as levied was Illegal. In case
the supreme court sustains the opinion of
the district court In this matter the city
at large will be saddled with a debt , which
by rights , It Is asserted , should bo paid by
the property owners. No one denies that the
street needs repairs , but there promises to
be quite a squabble about the manner In
which the work shall bo paid for.

The robbery of a general merchandise
store at Neola , la , , has been traced to the
door of Robert Carpenter , now In the city
jail. Carpenter was arrested several days
ago on suspicion by Detopllves Keysor and
'Sullivan. ' They failed to convict him of va

Two AVomcii , Arc Tnkcii lit by
United Stolen Deputies and
City Detectives.
Deputies Pearsull and Barber of the
United States marshal's office , aided by Do-
lecllves Keysor and Sullivan of Ihe city
force , have succefded In landing George
Bomboy and Otto Noffke , alias Kid Mason ,
two postofllco robbers. In jail.
On Ihe nlcht of April 11 the postofllco at
Boulder , Colo. , was broken Into and robbed
of cash , stamps and olher property of tbo
value of $450. It was known that three men
were Implicated In the robbery and that
they were Denver crooks. Suspicion rested
upon the two men now In Jail and George
Uogers , who was arrested hero some weeks
ago and token back to Denver.
Tbo otllclals at Denver sent notices all
over the country , giving details of the crime
and a description of the Ihree men supposed
lo bo Implicated. Immediately after the
robbery Rogers came to Omaha , where ho
was soon arrested. Soon after this the oth
ers came , and Deputy Pearsall started out
to apprehend them. Nightly ho visited the
saloons in Iho tenderloin district , Ihe dives
and muslo halls , bul was unable lo eel any
Iraco of them until one day last week , when
ho ascertained that Bomboy and Mason , with
a couple of women who came with them
from Denver , wore rooming In-a small cot
tage In the eastern portion of the city.
After securing this Information ho called
Deputy Barber and the city detectives to his
assistance , and a watch was sot over the
house , only to learn that Ibo game had
been flushed.
About this tlmo rcarsall ascertained that
all of the parties had departed for Kansas
City , and preparations were made to go
there and locate them. Last Monday , however -
over , the officers received Information that
Kid Mason and his woman had returned.
That night their house was shadowed and
about midnight It was pulled. Mason and
the woman were taken to the city Jail , where
Ihoy told Iho slory of having gone to Kan
sas City with Bomboy and his woman , re
maining a couple or days and returning.
They described the bouse where they Hlopped
and Informed Iho officials of many of the
fads conuecled with the robbery. Armed
with this Informallon Iho officers slartcd
for Kansas City , taking Bomboy's woman
along to point out Ihe location of llio house.
They reached Ihero early Wednesday morn
ing and as Boon as It was llcht enauch to
see , directed by the woman , they went to
the premises described and arrested Bom
bay. Thursday the party arrived hero ,
and after a short rest the women were es
corted to tbo office of the Untied States at
torney , where they made a clean breast of
all of the facls connecled with the robbery
so far as they knew.
All of the parties will bo lakcn to Den
ver , where the three mon have already been
Indicted by the United States crand Jury.
Late yesterday afternoon Mason wa taken
before United States Commissioner Ander
son , where ho waived examination and ex
pressed a willingness to return to Denver.
Notwithstanding this Judge Munger will
Issue an order of transfer and the accused
will be loken west 'by ' Dcpuly Pearsall
within a day or two. .

Return of Wllllnm I.iiiiipiiinnii.
William Lampmanu , a former member of
Company L , First Nebraska volunteers , has
just returned from Manila. Ho left the
company April 30 , when they were still
doing -some skirmishing. Ho says that the
company suffers but llttlo sickness , com-
parallvely a largo proporllon of tbo men
being lit for duty , considering Ihe arduous
service Ihey have seen lately. The strength
of the company was about thirty-five or
forty men at the time of bis departure , the
absentees being those on duty at the cus
toms house and these exhausted by the
heat and malarial fevers. Mr. Lampmanu
says the company has always been well
taken care of by Captain , now Major Taylor ,
and First Sergeant Herbert Taylor. Air
that could bo done for them In the way of
caring for their health and saving them un
necessary exertions has been done by these
officers.
The manner In which the men have been
fighting by alternately rushing forward and
lying down , encumbered with all the Mip-
plles they have to carry , has been very Iry-
ing. .Mr. Larnpmann says It Is surprising
that there Is not more sickness among the
men. They are , however , pretty will ac
climated by this time.
Mr. Lampmann himself looks well. Ho
came homo by way of Japan , and the
steamer ho took across the Pacific coasted
up along Siberia and then across to ATaska ,
making a long trip nnd giving him tlmo to
recuperate. Ho hold a position In the Ne
braska National bank at the tlmo he en
listed. Ho spent yesterday afternoon re-
nowlng acquaintances at the bank.

A
Game
With
A
King
A Kingdom
for the
Winning.
This is the strik
ing motif of a
Brilliant NCAV
Serial story
Entitled
by E. & H. Heron ,
authors of "Tuiniucr'ti Duel , "
Etc. , Etc.
Which will begin publication
in the
June I8th
A " STORY that gallops
* " from the first line to
the last , that tells a chiv-
alricand intensely dramat
ic love story , that follows
the intricate plottings of
master diplomats.
"The plot is fresh ,
the intrigue ingeni
ous , the portraiture
vivid and the treat
ment unhackneyed. ,
. Altogether this is a
fierce and vivid ro
mance. " London Spec
tator.
Curiously enough the collab
orators bear the unusual re
lation of mother and son. E.
& II. Heron Is the nom deplume
plume for K. & Iloskoth I'rlch-
ard. They have already pub
lished several powerful short
stories and serials , but ' 'A
Modern BIcrccnary" Is their
best and latest novel , a story
which Is attracting widespread
Interest In England.
The players of this Game
with a King , the prize of
which is the winning of a
kingdom , are Count Sagan ,
agrair , unscrupulous , reck
less giant , the commander
of the guards of Maaeau.
He plays as a tool in the
hands of Selpdorf , Chan
cellor to the King , the1'man
of the hour. " And behind
these two , old Major Coun
seller , representing Eng
land , the shrewdest diplo
mat of Europe , and Baron
von Elmer of Germany ,
play the intricate keys of
diplomacy. The King of
Maasau , who is weak , worn
out and suspicious , is a
mere puppet in the hands
of these master players.
The pawns of the game are
John Hallywood , the Mod
ern Mercenary , a straight
back , fearless young Eng
lishman who fights a. duel
as cheerfully as he makes
love to a nobleman's daugh
ter ; Valeria , the heroine ,
and the Countess Sagan ,
who loves the hero and ap
pears as Valeria's bitter
rival. All thin takes place
in the independent state of
Maasau , winch is so small
that it is hardly noticeable
even on the largest sized
map of Europe.
