HAVE SMOOTH GAME TO WORK
Old Scheme In Attractive Curb
Tried Well Dressed YontiK 3Icu
Arc the Prey.
The experience of an Omaha young man
in Iho last few days scoma to Indicate that
this city is the operating field of a pair , or ,
possibly , n quartette , of eminently skillful
buncoc steoreru. The men arc as yet unknown
to the police , as Ihey have only recently set
to work to make a living in these parts ,
and the caution which they have exercised
IB , in Its way , admirable. Their manner of
fcoundlng strangers is Euch that ono who la
approached and then abandoned as an un-
promlolng specimen would probably never
rcallzo that ho had been an intended viotlra.
Sunday evening the young man in ques
tion , who la well drcseed and has much of
Iho appparanco of a man of the -world , was
rather Idly sitting about the office of a prom
inent ihotel when another man , somewhat
older but ot equally pleasing appearance ,
dropped Into a chair beside him and began
a light converavtlon. After several remarks
had been passed on trivial subjects the new
comer asked the young man If ho had any
engagement for the evening. The other very
innocently took out his watch , studied it a
moment , and replied that ho had a sort of
a half engagement , not binding , but which
ho felt obliged to keep unless something un
usual turned up. The stranger then said
that ho had an engagement to call upon two
joung ladles and preferred not to go alone
if it were possible to find some eligible
partner. Ho asked the young man to ac
company him , telling where the young ladles
lived and giving the name of their father , a
prominent wholesale dealer ot the city. The
young man , Avhlle not very suspicious at tlio
time , concluded that too iwould keep his ficti
tious ongtigement , and after thanking his
new friend very cordially bade him good
night.
The young man would have thought noth
ing moro about the matter had nothing fol
lowed it , for the appearance and the face of
the stranger were so remarkably prepos
sessing and straightforward as to disarm
suspicion. But the next evening he happened
to be sitting in a hotel office and was again
approached , this time by a different man and
In a somewhat different manner. The second
end stranger was not nearly so taking in his
bearing or appearance. Ho had made the
young man's acquaintance In the same way
that the other one had done and asked him
If ho had an engagement for the evening.
Receiving what he took for an encouraging
reply , ho said that he had an engagement ;
to meet a couple of girls at the corner of
Sixteenth nnd Farnatn. He had picked up
the girls in the park in the afternoon , and
as they seemed to bo disposed to have a
good time he wanted to get a companion and
join them.
The stranger did not urge the schema
upon his friend unduly , but nevertheless rep
resented Its attractiveness with all possible
vividness and cautiously made every effort
to prevail. The young man , however , did
not care to follow the lead and politely
pointed out some good reasons why ho could
not take advantage of the opportunity. As
ho was doing so two young women passed
slowly up the street in front of the hotel in
the direction of tbo place of rendezvous.
The stranger then suddenly Jumped up , ex
claiming : "Thero they are , " and went out.
Ho followed the pair up the street a few
steps , Joined them without any greeting of
any kind and walked away with them.
The game is an old one , and has doubtless
been worked hundreds of times In the larger
cities , but the finesse displayed by the local
operators will probably accomplish eorno
profitable hauls for them , unless by some
mischance they glvo themselves away. There
are numerous ways In which the quarry can
bo followed up and fleeced after it Is at
tracted into close quarters in tfie two ways
Just described.

NEW YORK , Sept. 10 Kid McCoy had
littledimculty in setting away with Steve
O'Donnell In the arena ot the Broadway
Athletic club. In eplto of O'Donncll's an-
vantage of height , reach and weight , McCoy
went to him gradually without taking any
careless liberties and soon had his big ad
versary In trouble.
O'Donnell never landed a good blow on
McCoy , while the kid was gaining ground In
each succeeding round. His left was al
ways getting to the face , head or stomach
and O'Donnell was puzzled. Ho staggered
frequently and In the sixth round went down
from a left swing. Ho remained down as
long as the rules allowed , but It was all
up with the big fellow. McCoy went after
him with swinging lefts and rights and soon
floored him with another hard loft swing ,
from the effects of which ho was unable to
recover until counted out. Steve had to bo
assisted to his feet by the referee , while
McCoy walked to his corner smiling and
without a mark.
The bolting opened at three to ono on
McCoy , but these odds wcro Increased to
ten to one , with few takers.
After the men had returned to their dressIng -
Ing room McCoy said : "I will post ? 1,000
tomorrow to moot Bob Pltzslmmons for the
title ot middleweight champion of the .vorld
at 168 pounds. My money will remain up
for thirty days and should Fltzslmmous
ignore my defi I will claim the title and
withdraw my money , after which I will chal
lenge Fltzslmmons at catch weights. This
ought to make him como to tlmo If ho In
tends fighting any moro. If ho falls to defend -
fend the middleweight championship and I
claim It , I will defend It against all comers ,
negroes barred , at 158 pounds. "
Billy Needham , late of St. Paul , and Jim
McKcovcr of Philadelphia sparred a ten-
round draw before the big bout.

t SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The Omaha Cooperage plant at Thlrty-
fl'fth ' and I streets Is to bo enlarged
in case necessary arro.ngeman.ts . for more
land and trackage can .t > o made. This plant
was started ihero a year ago by M. D. Welsh
of Lincoln as an adjun'et ' to the main factory
at Lincoln. A few days ago the contract
between Mr. Welsh arul ) the state expired
and an effort Is now bcJng made to Lave the
ontlro works removed Jrom Lincoln to thla
city. In case thla Is done an enlargement
of Aho plant will bo necessary and the vaca
tion of a portion of Thirty-fifth street from
the point where I street crosses Thlrty-fiftCi
to where the souitlh line of II crosses Thlrty-
fltth. will bo necessary. The South Omaha
Land company fans filed a protest against
the vacation , of this portion of the street
until the cooperage company haa made suit
able arrangements with < tihe land company ,
but the protest has been referred to a com
mittee of the council < to consider.
TMa r flrwn nf rt.lirt dtrviof 'lilnVi lo , Ta-
sired vacated runs only sixty-five feet north
of II and Is not open beyond this point , so
that no ( harm can really come to property
owners by reason of the council granting
the request. On the other hand , an Im
portant industry will bo established and the
present working force of tihe ooopcrrngo plant
will bo doubled. Just now about sixty men
arc employed , Ibutwith the enlargement ot
the plant at least 1EO men Tvlll be given em
ployment.
In anticipation cf enlarging the plant Mr.
WcCah has catered1 into contracts with local
packers for casks , barrels , etc. , nnd It is
understood that the entire output of the
plant will bo consumed ihere. By being
given additional room the cooperage plant
will to In a position ito deliver goods to
the packers by iwagon and thus do away
nvith freight and switching charges. For
Uhls reason the packers are universally In
'favor ' of the removal of itho plant from Lln-
coln to this city. Every packing house keeps
a few ooopere to repair barrels and casks ,
but now material la not ( manufactured ! into
the finished product. An enlargement of the
plant will mean itiho building up of the
Fourth "ward In iho matter of homes for
workingimen nnd this Is what is wanted at
the present time. Quito a number of the
members of the council , together with the
imayor , appear ifavorabiy inclined toward the
now enterprise and it is moro than probable
that the roqueet for the vacation of a portion
tion tt Thirty-fifth street will bo granted ,
notwithstanding the protest filed ! .

Many permanent sidewalks are to bo laid
In South Omaha this fall. The city council
has established a number of permanent side
walk districts and ithho city engineer has
been Inslructcd to direct 'tho ' work of the
contractor. Walks or artificial stone , natural
stone or vitrified brick may bo laid by property -
orty owners In the permanent districts , but
it the work is not dbno within the next ten
days the city will so ahead and lay the
walks and assess the cost up to the abutting
property. So many damage suits have re
sulted recently from defective ivoodcn walks
that the city ifathors are very favorably In
clined toward permanent walks In order that
the numlber of ithoso claims may bo les
sened.
At the fiuggfetion of Councilman Kelly
the street commissioner has boon instructed
to inspect all walks with a view toward
making thorough repairs before winter sets
in.
Continued Activity In Cnltlc Mnrk .
There was another big run of cattle at the
stock yards yesterday and everything in
eight sold rapidly. There was no haggling
over the price to bo paid , as the packers and
speculators wanted the stock. Buslnees will
bo lively now and several big shipments are
looked for. The large number of outside
buyers on this market tends to Increase the
price paid and oa long as these foreign buy
ers remain , shippers are sure to reap the
benefit. Feeder shipments were npver
heavier than at the present time. A ma
jority of the feeders are sent to Nebraska
and Iowa points and will come back heto
In from sixty to ninety days to bo sold as
fat stuff , Tbo demand for fat beef cattle
continues and the packers are paying a
good price for all stock of this sort ,

The demands of the taxpayers In relation
to the iucreaso in the number of electric
lights has nt last been complied with by the
city council. At Monday night's session
fifteen additional lights were ordered located.
At the present time fifty-eight arc llghts ,
are in operation , but with ( ho addition ot
these ordered the total number will bo sev
enty-three. Moro lights are needed , but the
council docs not consider it expedient to
Incur any raoro expense in this line at the
present time. With seventy-three lights the
city will bo fairly well lighted , but It is con
sidered that this number is entirely too
email for a city of this size , and the city
dads may bo called upon to furnish more
lights before long.

On account of only ono bid having been
received , the letting ot the contract for the' '
grading of 0 street from Twenty-fourth to '
Twenty-sixth has been postponed for a !
couple of weeks. This action on the part of
the council will necessitate the readvertls-
ing for bids and will probably result in
the district being compelled to pay raoro for
the work than It it had been let at the time
bids were first called for. The readver-
tlslng for bids will put the matter off until
cooler weather , and with the chances of an
early frost contractors will bid higher than
at this time.

station Tuesday afternoon demented from u
blow on the head. A worKIngman em
ployed at raising a house across the alley
from Lidle's dwelling etruck Kldlo with a
pleco of scantling because ho got in the way.
Eldle dropped to the ground showing not a
single lgu of lifo and the people residing
in the vicinity believed ho was dead. They i
sent for the police , and ovoii went so far as ' '
to notify the coroner.
Half a dozen blueconts , acting on tbo In
formation that a man had been murdered ,
went in the patrol wagon to the place where
Eldle lay. Patrol Conductor Fahey had
( wo physicians examine the man. No injury
could bo found and after restoratives were
administered Eldlo began to show olgns of
life. In a few minutes ho "was able to mur
mur , "that man hit mo on the head ; give
me a brick , I want to smash him. "
Eldlo was unable to toll his assailant's
namo. The police thought ho was not in a
condition to be left without medical assist
ance , BO they took him to the station , where
Dr. Ralph made an examination , thinking
the akull might have been Injured. No
evidences ot injury were found.
Eldle had violent spells , tearing his cloth
ing In shreds , beating his body and calling
for bricks to use in getting even with the
man who struck him with the scantling. A
number ot his friends made efforts to .have
him released on ball , but ho was In a con
dition too dangerous to bo allowed outside
of a steel cell.

"IIo'o the meaneut mun that I ever had
anything to do with , " said the sowlng-ma-
ohino agent to a New York Sun reporter.
"I received a nolo from him the other day
saying that ho dcalrcd to view one of our
matchless machines with the vlow of pur
chasing It if found to bo satisfactory. In
these piping days of competition it is a nov
elty for a eewlug-tnachluo agent to bo In
vited to call and show goo-ln , t > o when 1 had
lecovered from toy aurpriae I promptly
loaded a machine- my cart and started for
[ the address this man had given.
I "An old man met mo at the door and in
vited mo to bring the aiachlno insideso he
j could more closely examine it. I did so , eel-
, ting the machine up in the slltlng-room ,
and calling his attention to its flue points.
He was an attentive listener , and I talked
with the confidence of a man who considered
a sale certain. Finally , having exhausted all
my arguments , ho asked to see a practical
test of the capabilities of the machine. I
agreed , and asked Ihlm to bring something
upon which to work. He left the room , re
turning a few anlnutce later , his awns filled
with damaged linen.
"I sat down at tl o machine and showed
how easily rents and tears could bo mended ,
making the garment as good as now , and
saving in a short tlmo the price of the ma
chine. The man seemed Tory much inter
ested and kept ( handing mo garment after
garment that needed attention. I worked
for two solid hours unending the old man's
garments , and at laf > t , having nothing ese
that needed attention , he commenced to find
fault with the machine. Finally ho told me
that he guessed ho wouldn't buy a machine
right away.
"I was BO mad that I dln't dare truft
myself to speak , and I was glad afterward
that I didn't , for when I learned the whole
truth I realized my total inability to do the
BUbjoot justice. That oniserablo old sinner ,
wbio happens to be a bachelor , had brought
mo up there ( merely to do his mending nnd
hart no idea of buying a machine. Ho has
worked the same game on other agents. "
