After n seven dayo' aliscncc. during which '
ho swung around a wide circle of western
cllltfl and received an enthusiastic greeting
from the people of half a dozen states , Hear
Admiral Schley returned to Omaha yester
day , and last night he and Mrs. Buhley wcro
guests of honor at the reception tendered
them by Union Pacific council No. 1063 of
the Hoyal Arcanum at the Metropolitan
club. Preceding the affair at the club the
adfnlral witnessed the flrft part of the per
formance at the CrclRhton-Orphoum theater.
The ppeclal train that carried the party
arrived at the Union Pacific depot at
1230 ; o'clock. U was schedultd an
hour earlier , but Its progress had
been Impeded by the ovations that
were Incidental to every slop. Not
withstanding the delay , however , there was
a crowd of several hundred people on the
platform and when the train pulled In they
expressed their enthusiasm In a cheer of
welcome.
The special train consisted of three cars ,
drawn by engine 824 , handsomely decorated
with flags and bunting. About the pilot
fluttered an admiral's flag and this was a
euro-enough emblem , for It swung from the
masthead of the "Norfolk , " during the
Santiago campaign. In the head car was a
magnificent floral reproduction of the
"Brooklyn , " presented to the admiral by the
people of Salt Lake City In place of the
one which the admiral received at Council
Bluffs , nnd which was left on Pike's Peak.
The party left the train Immediately. It
consisted of Admiral and Mrs. Schley. Gen
eral and Mrs. Mnnderson , a maid and sten
ographer and General Manager Dickinson
and General Passenger Agent Ixjmax of the
Union Pncino , who met the train at Fre
mont. President II. 0. Burl was also at the
deprt to greet the arrivals nnd assist in es
corting them to the carriage walling at the
ether aide of the depot.
Both the admiral and General Manderson
were enthusiastic over their trip nnd they
declared that they had pnjoyod every foot
of It. The general said that Admiral
Schloy was received with the greatest en
thusiasm at every point along the route and
this was supplemented by General Manager
r- Dickinson , who asserted that the entire trip
wab one continual ovation.
The crowd at the depot followed the ad
miral to the carriage , which was about to
leave at one" but was stopped by the des
perate appeal of a photographer who wanted
a chnnce for a snap ehot. He was accom
modated and then the party was driven to
the Manderson residence for lunch.
The Avcnituni Itecepdnii.
Tlio reception tendered to Admiral and
Mre. Schley at the Metropolitan club last
night was one of the largest and moat enJoyable -
Joyablo of the social functions that have
marked their visit to Omaha. The members
of the Royal Arcanum councils of Omaha ,
South Omaha and Council Bluffs participated
In the affair , at the Invitation of Union
Pacific council , which had charge ot the
arrangements. The spacious club house was
completely filled with the gueste , nnd since
the Hoyal Arcanum people were disap
pointed In their plans to entertain the ad
miral during his previous visit , they con
soled themselves for the delay by making
his reception n most elaborate affair. The
club rooms were magnificently .decorated
with flowers and patriotic colors , and from
9 o'clock until well toward midnight the
rooms were crowded with members of the
order nnd their wives nnd sweethearts.
The entire committee of Union Pacific
council met the admiral and party at the
Crclghton theater , where they saw the first
part of the performance and at 0 o'clock
they proceeded to the club rooms , where
they received a hearty greeting from the
crowd that already packed the building.
The receiving party was stationed In the
reception room Immediately adjoining the
entrance. It consisted of Admiral and Mrs.
Schley , General and Mrs. .Manderson nnd
Rev. and Mrs. T. J. iMackay. They stood In
front of a magnificent bower of patriotic
emblems , rosen nnd smllax. For forty
minutes the guests passed them In rapid
procession. After they had been Introduced
to the admiral and the other members of
his party they passed on to the dining
room , where light refreshments were nerved ,
and thence upstairs to the ball room.
Gold 1'ln for Hie Adiiilrnl.
After the entire company had been cor
dially greeted by the guests of honor the
latter wore conducted to the rofroshmenl
room and a short time later to the ball
room , where the other guests had already
assembled to glvo them another ovation. The
orchestra struck up the "Star Spanglei
Banner" and the ofllclal party passed to the
center of the room , where they were
stopped by members of the committee who
had prepared another and unexpected fea
ture. With a short but very appropriate ad
dress Fred J. Sackctt presented Admlra
Schley with a handsome solid gold regent's
pin , which ho asked him to accept as a
memento of his visit In Omaha and In token
of the esteem of the monitors of Union Pa-
clflo council. This was followed by another
furious handclapplng and the admiral grace
fully expressed his appreciation of the
ouvonlr. Ho said :
My brother nnd my brethren , or my broth
ers , I might add : My Interest In the Royal
Arcanum has been great for a number of
years. I have had the pleasure of presid
ing for over six year ? as itio regent of the
council known as Farragut council No. CCO ,

HIT WITH A BILLIARD CUE
Oharlea Kelly Receives a Blow on the Head
That May Kill Him.
LIES UNCONSCIOUS AT THE HOSPITAL
111 * Afttnllnnlft Arc Hurrying Awny
from Oiitnlm In ttrtpiuie
uf ( lie Inu Ilrntilt of u
C'uril Gnmci
In ono of the wards of Clnrkson hospital
several nurses and physicians hnvo worked
for hours to bring a man back to con-
clousnes * nnil life. Ho la suffering from
concUBslon of the brain caused by the blow
of a billiard cue and there is little hope , for
his recovery.
Somewhere In the state , a day's Jowl.ioy
by carriage from the city , three men arc
driving as rapidly as tired horses can I
travel. They have n light wagon , canvas |
covered , and four fast horses which arc .
used In relays of two to Insure speed. It j
was ono of thcso men who wielded the
billiard cue that ( fractured the hospital pa
tient's skull.
His name Is James Jones. His companions |
are a brother. Tom , and an associate In (
business , Peter Grecta. They have twelve
hours' start on the police , but Captain
Donahuo has notified the officers In every
town within a fifty-mile radius to bo on
the lookout for them and It Is unlikely that
they will escape capture.
Tlic Victim.
The man who Iks In the hospital at the
point of death Is Charles Kelly. Unless
I ho should happen to recover , the refugees
I will bo held on the charge of murder.
I The fight between Jones and Kelly that
"
, resulted "in the UBO of the billiard cue as a
1 weapon took place Tuesday night In Peter
son's saloon , Twenty-first and Cumlng
streets. 'In the card room at the rear of the
bar the two -men were playing high-five for
drinks. Looking on were Tom Jones , a 10-
year-old brother ; "Doc" and Peter Green.
I There were charges of cheating and an
! exchange of opprobrious names. Kelly had
been drinking hard and ho accused Jones
of taking advantage of his condition to
manipulate the cards unfairly. Jones re
sponded by daring his vls-a-vis to fight.
Kelly accepted the challenge , malting the
provision that the matter be settled In the
yard behind the saloon.
It wa when the men arose to repair to
the back yard that the blow was struck.
Kelly left his chair first. As ho passed out
of the room Jones , angered .beyond control ,
seized n billiard cue from the rack and
stepping up behind him swung the billet
Against Kelly's head.
Fallx UllCMMINUlOltH ,
Kelly fell to the floor unconscious. Those
In charge of the 'bar ' room did not consider
the Injury a serious one and wishing to
avoid publicity they kept Kelly In the
saloon , providing attendance for him there
until Wednesday morning. Then realizing
the Injured man's condition they sum
moned the police.
During the night Jones and his com
panions prepared for flight. Horses and
wagons were In readiness and the younger
" " Instructed to ascertain
brother , "Doc , was
Kelly's condition at the earliest possible
moment.
When Kelly was taken to the hospital
"Doc" was at the door to hear the phy
sician's opinion of his Injury , and when the
doctor said there were few hopes for the
man the lad raced back to his brothers with
the message. Then the trio hurriedly left.
Kelly had the reputation of being re
liable and Industrious. Ho was employed
by Jackson Bros , on grajllng wprk ln.Iowq.
The other three men are horse traders who
travel a circuit. Including this city , South
Omaha , Fremont , Elkhorn and Plattsmouth.
Kelly has not recovered consciousness
sufficiently to talk and the physicians will
try trepanning today In the hopes of saving
his life.

SOUTH OMASSA NEWS.
More permits for building were Issued last
month by Building Inspector Dunscombo
than for any one month since the boom some
years ago. The records show that llfty per
mits were Issued In May , the .majority being -
ing for residences. These permits range
form $75 for repairs to $2,000 for a dwell
ing. According to the cost of the structures
for which permits -were obtained a total of
$53,255 Is shown. Inspector Dunscombo
gives it as his opinion that these applying
for permits glvo only about two-thirds ol
the value of the buildings to bo erected.
This Is done In order to reduce the fee whU'h
the inspector receives for Issuing the per
mit nnd looking over the plans. Taking $53 , .
255 as two-thirds of the cost makes the
total amount expended here last month In
new buildings and repairs $71,006.
Very few Improvements In the building
line are now being made by the packing
houses or the stock yards company , as so
much was done Inst year In this lino. Cud-
ahy Is eroding an addition to the glycerine
factory. Armour has stopped building for
a time , but It Is possible that the much
talked of warehouse may bo constructo <
later In the year. Hammond has completed
the erection of several new smoke houses
and Swift made a number of alterations
early In the season , so that' now additions
nnd Improvements at the packing houses are
at a standstill for the tlmo being. Some work
Is being done at the stock yards In the hog
division , but as so many Improvements
were made last summer very little money
will bo spent 'this year In new buildings or
alterations.
Real estate men say that the demand for
residence property still continues. Dozens
of small houses nro going up In nil parts o
the city and especially Is this true of the
Third ward. Some really handsome dwell
ings nro being erected In the First ward
while many vacant lots nro being grade <
preparatory to building. A short tlmo ago
the Inquiry was for cheap real estate , bu
now that has changed to a better grade o
property , the Inquiry coming from nn en
tlro/y different class of people. Houses are
rented now almost as soon as the roof 1
on nnd still there docs not seem to bu any
diminution In the demand for residences
both large and small.
City' * Monthly I'ny Hull.
The city's monthly pay roll amounts to
$2,088.33 a month , which Is considerably
more than some people Imagine , This
amorht Is divided between the different de
partments In this manner : Pollco depart
ment , 'fourteen ' men , $ ' .105 ; fire department
eight men , $405 ; mayor , council , clerk
police Judge nnd live stock Inspector , $558.33
street commissioner , $30 ; sanitary Inspector
$70. The men employed on the streets are
paid out cf the street repair fund and as
this amount varies by the nmouht of worl
done It Is hard to 'estimate Just what the
city pays out monthly for wages. The
Items mentioned are considered as fixed ex
penditures for labor performed by the vari
ous city employes who are either elected
or appointed. At the monthly rate given
the city pay roll costs annually $2S-I52.

People owning cows have lately gotten
Into the habit of picketing them out on
streetH or other public , places , nnd yesterday
morning a serious accident was barely
averted on North Twenty-third street. A
cow had been staked out on this etreet by
the owner when a vehicle ; driven by n woman
passed. The horse became frightened at
the trailing rope and the actions of the horse
scared tt cow. The result was that the
trail rope became entangled In the buggy ,
which wns overturned. No damage to npenk
of wns done ns n couple of men who were
passing rendered assistance at the critical
moment.
This staking of cows In public places Is In
violation of an ordinance which was paagetl
In ISS'.I ' nnd Is still In force. The ordinance
declares It unlawful to allow domestic anl
mats to run at largo or bo herded within
the corporate limits. Cows or horses maybe
bo picketed on unoccupied lands , but not on
streets or alleys. The penally for violating
this ordinance Is n fine of not less than $5
nor more than $100 , the violator to stand
committed until the fine assessed Is paid.

The special train bearing Admiral Schley
and party stopped at the Union Pacific
depot hero for a few minutes yesterday
noon. A crowd of several hulndrcd people
gathered to catch a gllmpso of the famous
naval officer , nndlicn \ he appeared on the
roar platform ot his prlate car three cheers
and ft tiger were given with a will. Gen
eral Manderson Introduced the admiral to
the assemblage , nnd In the course ot his
remarks paid a glowing tribute to the In
dustry nnd pluck of the citizens of the
Magic City. In response to calls for n
speech Admiral Schley thalaked the citizens
ot South Omaha for their hos-pltablo greet
ing , and nwurccl them that he would like
to shako hands with every one were It not
that his tlmo was limited. Mrs. Schley

Mayor Moorce and a number of the city
officials were present Wednesday night at
a meeting of the North Omaha Improvement
society at Thirty-second street and Ames
avenue. Affairs of municipal government
wore discussed more or less freely. The
chief aim In calling In the city admlnlstra-

promised thai ho would use Ills Influence
with City Atlornoy Connell lo gel him lo

a permanent Injunction In place of the pres
ent temporary one. The one now In force
restrains the city from harboring there nny
cases of contagious disease other than small

was "no money with which to buy a site and

ordered for North Omaha was an Illustra
tion. There would bo no money for 11 nnd

not know.
Mayor Moorcs took occasion to explain
the difficulties which had been In the way
of the location of the pest house. Ills own
conviction had always been that no post
'house should bo located within the city
limits and ho had sought to have ono located
on ( lie county poor farm. The city officials
had made every effort to get lhe consenl of
