A wholesomo dread lest tho renl result

there was no such nnlroat near tho fold.
Tho lorn candidates, headed ly 1'rank Han

to discredit tho South Omaha poll.
Tho petitioners naked that tho poll books

!o Fnttiiiliillnii In I'ncl.
When tho hcarlnR occurred nt 2 o'clock
tho fuslonlst allegations wero shown to bo
wholly without basis and only occupied the
tlmo of tho court for five minutes. Henry
M. WnrliiR of the canvnssInK board an
nounced that ho never had entertained tho
slightest Intention of iictliiR In the manner
ihurscd In tho petition nnd bo had no objec

answer Bolting forth that tho reflections

honor of tho board contained not tho lllmslcst
vestlKo of truth. Tho funlonlstu consented
to eat their words by nllowluK tho un
disputed tiling of such a denial nud tho ca3o
was closed.
R.xcept for tho nnnoyunco Incident to the
Interruption In Its work, tho camabsliiK
hoard looked upon tho fusloulHtu' peti
tion as a Joke. "Wo have no other Inten
tion," remarked County Clerk Ilaverly."
"than to do exactly nn tho petition requcsis.
When tho South Omaha tally booku conic
up In their turn I had expected from tho bo
ulmilnK to make up our abstriirt from tho

rourso for us to tamper with tho ballot

I havo no Idea."

Tho republican managers, however, dis
cern n political trick behind the petition
nnd havo prepared n proper showing for tho
court regarding It. In n Third ward pre
cinct tho olUclals nindo tho blunder of
sealing up tho tally book In tho ballot box
nd tho board, without authority to break
tho seal, has postponed tho count for tho
ward. It wan tho board's intention to ap
ply for an order of court authoriz
ing it to open nnd rescnl tho box. If tho
alternative writ Is granted, howovcr, tho
board will bo compelled to throw out tho
count of tho precinct nnd ns the district
Is republican tho prollt of tho error will
lie with tho fUBlonlsts.
This point was brought up by tho can
vassing board und Judge Dickinson gavo
It tho desired permission to unseal the
ballot box.
The morning session of tho board was oc
cupied solely with tho Fifth ward, which
wns an obstacle to progress In splto of Its
dearth of districts. Almost nn hour was
spent on the Fifth district alono whero
tho officials wero apparently far from
familiar with their duties. Tho Individual
tallies exceeded In a number of cases tho
totnl number of votes cast nnd there, wero
other serious Irregularities. County Clonic
Ilaverly dispatched a messenger for
tho book retained by tho judges and nn
offort will bu made to correct tho errors.
Tho republican legislative ticket lost ten

Shields' loss amounted to live.
At tho aftcrnosu session tho board en
tered at'onco upon tho count of tho Third
ward, tho poll book having been extracted
from tho ballot box through nn order of
court. Tho work of tho election officials had
In many cases been half done and tho hoard
was caused considerable delay. In one dis
trict there wero no tally records whatever
In tho canes of county attorney und tho leg
islative delegation, only tho total footing:!
being given The board has hitherto con
ducted Its obstruct In aci'ordanco with tho
tally and not with tho footings, but It was
decided after general discussion that tho
footings wero In this enso the beat evidence.
The electlou nfllclals. however, will bo called
upon to explain their negligence.

of seven und went out to celebrate. Upon
his return ho found that a malignant for
tune had thrown ten votes to Ills adversary
and tho day wus IojI.
Tho board ohowed no signs of wearying
after n good dnys' work and reassembled at
8 o'clock to canvass the Seventh ward, which
i was selected out of Its regular order uc-
cauvo of Its suitable size for u short resulon.
The count proceeded without Incident and
tho ward voto was transferred to tho ab

Charles and Otto Furst, father and son,
who reside at 1013 Oraut street, became
embittered against their neighbors, V. M.
CuHwits, his son Carl and tho lattcr'n
chum, F. M. l'ratt, nnd carefully planned
to bring veti3eancc down upon their heads
In a summary manner, but they aro still
unrcvenged and matters have taken such a
turn that Otto Furst stands In n fair way
to servo a long penitentiary sentence.
Furst and his son came to the police sta
tion Sunday night .and complulncd that
youug Outwits and l'ratt had held them
up nt the point of revolvers n short time
before while they were driving In a buggy
near Twenty-seventh and Illnney streets,
but that the would-be bandits wero fright
ened away and secured nothing. Though
both father nnd son told tho snmo story
with minuteness of detail, the pollco re
fused to make arrests upon their unsup
ported testimony and directed them to
nppear before the city prosecutor Monday
nnd havo warrants Issued for (lultwlts nnd
l'ratt. This the elder Furst did, charging
them with assault with Intent to rob. Tho
warrant was placed in tho hands of De
tectives Heelan and Johncon, who placed tho
young men under nrrcst ami mado n
thorough Investigation of the cose. They
found that there was not a word of truth
In tho holdup story nnd that the motlvo
for causing tho arrest was revenge. It
seems that young Oulwits and young Furst
keep rompaiiy with tho samo young woman
nnd that tho former owed the latter J-.CO
which ho had neslccted to pay. Therefore
the Fursts trumped up a Btory and charged
tho young men with u penal offense In or
der to "get ucn."

Tho sequel, In which Otto Furst Is
stnrted on tho road to tho penitentiary,
hut no direct connection with tho holdup
affair other thiui that the same detectives
worked up both cases nud thus came In
tho possession of facts concerning tho
character nud record of tho Fursts which
aided them Inter In fastening u sovero
orlmo upon young Furst,
Tuesday of hiBt week Charles Furst re
ported to tho pollco that a valuable shot
gun had been stolen from him. It was
located in Harry dross' pawn shop, at 817
North Sixteenth street. Tho iiamo of John
Ilrlde, an ex-soldler, was ulgned to the
register as being tho person who pawned
tho'guu. Furst sworo to n complaint
ngalnst Ilrlde, charging him with larceny.
Ho was urrested by tho detectives, but as
soon us dross raw him ho declared that
Hrldo was not tho man who pawned thu
gun. Ilrldo was released and tho sleuths
set out on u new clew, which resulted In
tho nrrent of Otto Furst. Cross posltlvoly
Identilled hint and stated that Furst had
given tho name of John Hrlr.o nnd signed
It on tho register, saying that ho was nn
ox-soldlcr nnd telling a plauslblo story of
his possession of tho gun. This waM
deemed conclusive proof that ho had not
only robbed his father, but had forged
Ilrldo's namo us well. Young Furst Is now
in tho city Jail awnltlug trla on u charge
of forgery, nnd tho detectives aro confi

was still moro contldcnt when Roosevelt,
beloved of tho west, wan nominated for the

throng was still cheering Roosevelt's name.
And. finally, when men who bad been urdent
advocates of s'lvcr coinage in 1896 cntuo
over to McKlnley In l'.'OO, Wolcott smiled a
smile of deep contentment nud perfect Joy.
Alas! It was not to be.
So, out of tho benato will go a man whoso
Individuality bus muilo him, n picturesque

orator In the senate. He hns tho trick ot
framing rhythmic sentences which sound
pleasantly upon the ear. Ho has a deep nnd

which thrills. Ho Is eloquent In expression,
forcible and yot graceful In delivery. Ho
has a wonderful memory. After ho has
written down nn hour's speech, ho can re

whenever he rises to address tho senate, he
commands uttentlou.

Former Councilman to Appear in
Court nt llrqucnt ot Water
Cottiinnr
At tho request of tho Omaha Water com
pany Ernest Stuht, cx-couucllmau from tho
First wurd, will appear In court to explain
somo Irregularities found In tho water con
nections of eleven houses belonging to him
and located on Eleventh street between
Pacific and Mason streets.
Two years ago tho water bills paid by
Mr. Stunt used to run ns high as $00
a mouth aud seldom fell below $20. He had
two houses on tho west sldo of Eleventh
street which wero connected with nn
Eloventh Btreet muln innd tho nine houses
on tho cast sldo of tho street wero con
nected with n main on Pacific street. Thcro
wero wuter meters on both of theso con
nections, but Mr. Stuht ordered tho motor
removed from tho houses on tho west Bldo
of tho street and has not been receiving
water thcro, presumably. bIiico that time.
Thcro wns u remnrkublo contraction In
Mr. Stuht's water bill nnd the company wa3
at u loss to understand whHt was wrong.
Somo months the bill ran us low ns $5.C0
and in two years It has seldom exceeded $12.
Tho meter wus examined again and ngnln
and nn Inspection of tho nluo houses which
wero supposed to bo connected with tho
mntns showed that tho tenants had plenty
of water.
A few days ago employes ot tho water
company decided to Investigate the meter
carefully and found that tho water was
partially turned oft. Still tho How of water
In tho houses was strong and It was evi
dent that thcro wns another sourco ot
supply. A further hunt showed that water
was turned on at tho Eloventh Btrcet con
nection, from which tho motor was re
moved two yearn before, and u plpo led
from this connection to the houses on tho
east Bide of tho btrcet and furnished them
with water which passed through no meter.
Hy some strange chance, of which Mr.
Stuht maintains ho is entirely Ignornnt.
this abandoned connection was restored and
tho flow of water through tho plpo which
was supposed to supply tho houses wns
reduced materially. One of tho houses sup
plied Is tho Union hotel, n building contain

ROSWEG GOES SLEUTHING

Any Our,
Charles Hosweg Is a commission mer
chant, but that he Is also n detective of uo
mean ability is attested by tho fact that
the three youthful burglars who have been
looting his storehouse out nt Eleventh nnd (
Hlnlnu streets, are now In Jail. He planned (
ineir capture, set tno trap tor litem nuu
turned them over to tho pollco without
so much ns n hint from thu profcssionnl
sleuths. Tho boys, whoso ages rango be
tween 12 and 1C, glvo the names of Willie
tiUcruscy, Otto Schultz nnd Tommle
Reeves.
Saturday nftcruoon Mr. Hosweg had oc
casion to visit tho old frame building at j
Eleventh und Ulalno streets, In which his
household goods tiro stored. Ho found
tho windows nud doors securely fastened I
as ho had left them, but Insldo there was
evidence of nu Intruder. In tho mlddlo of ,
the kitchen floor furniture wns piled In .
wild disorder. Taking h hasty Inventory of
his property, ho discovered that several !
valuable articles wero missing.
Hero was a problem which for tho mo
ment might well have battled a more astuto
man tlutu Mr. Hosweg. Every means of
Ingress, so far as ha could see, was se
curely locked. Thcro was no cellar. The
low nttto over the first floor was pierced by
no windows'. Tho only plauslblo explana
tion seemed to bo a skeleton key.
"Judging from tho nature of tho nrtlcles
taken," said Mr. Hosweg, "I figured that
tho burglars were boys and that they would
bo back again for more plunder. So I
mado my plans accordingly. Sprinkling a
few handfuls of flour on tho window ledges
und threshhold 1 locked up nnd wont away,
leaving everything us 1 had found' It.
"Sunday afternoon I went back ugaln,
nnd you can luiiigluo my surprlso when 1
discovered that tho place had been entered
In tho nieantlmo and moro urtlclc stolen,
hut the Hour on tho sills und thresholds
was not disturbed. However. I had gained
cno point. Hensnnlng by elimination, the
proposition was considerably narrowed, and
I knew that neither window nor door fur
nished tho marauders! with an entrance.
"Sunday night, oupplled with two good
blankets, I climbed up through tho cubby
hole Into tho tittle nnd determined to stay
there and wntch. My couch was so com
fortable, however, that It was broad day
light when I awoke; still, I was satisfied
tho premises had not been molested during
tho night. Mondny night I repeated tho
experiment. About 1:30 in tho morning I
was awakened by tho tramping of feet ou
tho tin roof overhead, nnd by tho sound
of voices.
"Tho hatch was lifted from nbove, ad
mitting n flood ot moonlight, nnd I looked
up Just In tlmo to sco a boy drop down
upon tho roof from the overhanging
branches of au elm tree.
"Tho youngsters ucrumblcd Into tho nttlc
llko so many ruts, und an Instant later,
ono by one, let themselves down through
tho cubby hole, alighting upon their feet
ou tho kitchen floor.
"Ab soon us I was alono I fastened tho
trapdoor over tho holo nud they wero
prisoners. I thcu went In quest of nn
officer. When wo returned It wns to find a
most Interesting Bltuatiou In tho kitchen.
Tho hoys. It seems, hadn't discovered ns
ot that they wero prisoners, but, having
secured their loot, wero Industriously en
gaged In trying to push up tho trap doT.
In tho hopo of accomplishing this they had
piled chalra together underneath It, as
acrobats pllo them on n stage, nnd ono boy
was standing on tho top of tho heap push
ing, while thu other two remained below
to steady tho crazy structure. Then I
understood why tho furnlturo had been In
such wild confusion on tho occasions of
my first and second visits. Tho last boy
up through tho hatch had kicked over tho
heap to cover their tracks."
Tho boys admit entering tho house, but
deny they had any burglarious Intention.
