HriiiK-Ct'n Mouse,
Vi. n. Honnett wan a volunteer In the
eocret sorvlco of the Unltul States gov
ernment for a few hours yesterday and his
skill nc a sleuth brought about the separa
tion of six young men from their Jobs and
the arrest of two of them on the serious
chnrgu of Bellini; liquor without a license.
In his big department Btoro Mr. Dennett
keeps almost everything from a pin to a
locomotive and wines and liquors nre, of
course. Included In the stock, although the
wet goods arc not for sale by tho drink.
Mr, Dennett has a drugglst'ii license and
whatover Kales arc made from his wine
room nro supposed to be made by the bottle.
It seems, however, that a couplo of en
terprising employes of the store have been
coring a continuous "scoop" on the pro
prietor by setting up a "blind pig" In tho
basement and panning out "bracers" to
other employes who wero In with tho secret.
Mr. Dennett's private office Is In the base
ment and for several days his acuto ears
detected tho faint squealing of tho "pig,"
but ho whs unable to locate the sourco of
tho sounds until yesterday morning.
.fir, llcuni-tt Turn Mrtitli.
Then ho concluded that the .sightless
porker must bo hiding In tho egg depart
ment, which Is the next room to the nun
In which tho wines arc stored. With tho
light und noiseless movement of a Sherlock
Holmes, Mr. Ilonnctt entered thu egg room
and climbed onto a shelf, from which ho
could obscive, but not bo observed. Tor
four long hours ho remained In tho tin
comfortablo borth aud observed.
II. I). Ilogcrs, tho egg candlcr, was busy.
As ho squinted through egg after egg and
laid each ono carefully back Into tho
'"good" case, Dennett observed:
"There'll bo no chickens born hero to
day. How do I know It? .Simply because
the candlcr Is llndlng no feathers In tho
stock on baud."
Presently a clerk stole quietly Into tho
room nnd whispered o word or two to
Ilogcrs. Bennett could not hear what was
said, but ho guessed right tho very first
time.
"That fellow." said the dctectlvo to him
Kclf, "asked lingers If thiru was anything
doing. I know It becauso from tho time
ho entered the room until ho went out the
heels of his shoes never touched the Moor.
Whenever you sro n man walking thnt way
It's a cinch ho wants to know If thero'g
nnythlug doing. That fellow will bo back
hero In a few minutes. Why? Decauso ho
was told that there would bo something
doing In n llltla while. How do I know
It? Decauso when ho went out ho closed
tho door quietly. If ho had nothing In
prospect for n return trip ho would have
slammed that door."
NlMV 'lllll 111)' lltltllf.
In a few moments ItogcrH opened the door
that connects the egg department with tho
vino room anil passed out an empty bottle.
"There was homebody on tho other sldo
of that door," quickly observed Ilonnctt, al
though ho had seen no one. "I know It
becniiHo If when lingers let tio of that hot
tln there had not been sinneborly ou tho
other sldo to tnkg4hplil' nf 5lt there .would
have been a crash 'Hko tho breaking of a
bottlo on a hardwood floor. That bottle
will bob up again and It will bo filled. Don't
you know that no person over sent nut an
empty bottlo without knowing, positively
knowing, that It would como hack filled.
Ilogcrs know that when he handed out
tho bottlo."
Stiro'enough the bottlo came hack and It
was full.
"That's sherry wine," observed Dennett,
Although Its color was much Hko other
stuff. "How do I know It's sherry? Tshaw,
don't bo silly. Isn't this the egg ronni?"
Tho clerk whn had been there a few mill
tites before came In again.
"He's after a drink," reasoned the de
tective, "berauso ho tried to expectorate
twlco when he was In hero beforo and
failed both times."
Thn clerk approached lingers and In less
than a seennd he had temporary connec
tion with tho bottle. Ho paid nogers 5
cents and silently stolo away. In a few
minutes another clerk camo In and went
through tho same performance aud then
another and another.
Tn" "if (iouc.
This was too much for Sir. Dennett. He
crawled out of his hiding place and called
to Rogers:
"You've been selling boons. Don't deny
It. How do 1 know It? Simply becauso
I'vo been looking at you whllo you wero
doing It."
Then Mr. Ilennott railed for tho clerk In
charge of thn wine room and accused him
of being In with tho game.
United States Attorney Summers was
ndvlsed of tho self-appointed dotectlvo's
observations and ho caused Itogeis and
Henry Strupp, the man In charge of the
wlno room, to bo locked up on the charge
of selling liquor without a government li
cense. It Is said that Strupp supplied tho
wine to Ilogcrs at 15 cents per bottlo and
then tho egg tandler sold It to tho clerks
ai ." cents a drink, realizing about 40
cents per bottle.
Ilogcrs lives nt 4324 Maple street nnd
Strupp resides nt 3214 North Fifteenth
street. Tho four clerks who were observed
In the drinking act wero promptly dis
charged by Mr. Dennett.

Forty High school pupils, evenly divided
as to the sex, struck for a day's vacation
Monday and got It. The next day they wero
laid off from work two days and when they
return to school duties this morning It
will be for tho first tlmo this week. This
situation Is tho result of an April-fool Joko
In which tho Jokers jot more than they
bargained for.
Monday morning twenty boys secured a
largo hayrack, which was brought within
a block of tho High school building, where
tho boys wero Jolntd by an equal number
of girls. Tho party drove over the city
and enjoyed a good time. Next morning
tbey returned to school with the usual ex
cuses for being absent, but these wero not
accepted. The offenders were railed be
foro Prof. Watcrhouse, who delivered a
Bhort, but pointed, lecture and excused
them from school for two days. The youth
ful schemers determined to make tho most
of It nnd nt once planned for n basket pic

turned nt !i o'clock Wednesday evening In
high spirits, pleased with the outcome of
their escapade. They have promised, how

after, because tho truant officer may get

The detectives affected by the order are

"A further reduction of two men will

last night. "Ordinarily six men aro suffi

Wllllnm It. Learn, Judge of the police
ourt of Omaha, dropped dead at the police
tatlou yesterday afternoon nt '2:3o o'clock.
Apoplexy, thu physicians say, was the
ausu of death.
Judgo Lcurn had been complaining all
thn day of feeling HI. Tuesduy night he
had an nttack of sharp pains about his
best aud u physician was summoned.
Ihtr? seemed to bo nothing alarming about
his condition. Judge Lenrn thought that
ho had symptoms of tho grip. When ho
ppenred at police court jesterday morning
ho remarked that ho never felt worso In his
life.
"1 didn't sleep n wink last night." he
said, "and tho pain in my chest Is well
Igh unbearable."
Tho morning session of court was early
adjourned and Judgo Iearn went to ills
home. At 2 o'clock he resumed his sent
on tho bench nnd adjourned court a halt
hour later.
Fulls to the Floor.
Judge Learn left tho court room and
walked slowly down the stairs to tho office
of tho desk sergeant. Ho entered the cage
leading to tho captain's olllco nnd spoke
brlclly to two or threo officers, sitting In
tho room.
Suddenly ho gave expression to a sharp
cry and lurched forward, falling upon the
floor. Low moans escaped his lips for sev
eral moments. His prostrate body was
lifted to a tablo by Captain Her aud Pa- v
trol Conductor V'nnotts. Artificial means i
of respiration were employed, but to no
avail. A few moments after ho fell to the
floor his pulso had stopped beating and
ho heart action had entirely consed. hen
City Physician ltnlph reached tho station
udgo Learn was dead.
Little lloj Arc Overcome.
Two bright, studious lads aro bereft of
paternal guardianship by tho death of
udgo Learn, who was n widower. Willie
and Leslie Learn wero tho prldo of their
father's heart. Ho never tired talking
f them. Tho relations between father
nd sons weru Ideal.
Tho news of the sudden death of their
father reached tho Learn boys whllo they
wero In tho classroom nt tho Fornam
school. The grief of the lads was pitiable.
Fer a moment they seemed dazed. Another
moment they gavo wny to a violent par
oxysm of tears. Then both fainted. They
ero revived by the Joint efforts of teacher
tin scholars and hastened to the coroner's
olllce. Tho features of their father's face
wero not distorted. The dead man boro the
appearance of one sleeping, tho eyes being
IoeciI as If In repose. Tho little fellows
wero permitted to view their dead father
for several minutes. When they carao from
tho room thoy bravely struggled to restrain
their emotion and seemed determined to
bear up under tho trying ordeal Hko men'
of mature years.
Judgo Learn has mado his home at 281S
Dowoy avenue. For tho present his boys
will remain with tho family of Charles
Sullivan, who resides at that number. Be
sides belonging to tho Elks, Judge Learn
was -a member- of Jho -Ancient Order of
United Workmen, 'Modern Woodmen of
America, Woodmen of tho World and Fra-
ternnl Union of America. In nil of these
fraternal organizations ho carried Insur
ance, which will amount In tho aggregate
to a constdcrablo sum.
Inquest Not Neeensnry.
Tho body of Judgo Learn was removed
to tho coroner's ofllco yesterday afternoon.
Coroner Swnnson stated last night that no
Inipiest would bo held. As soon as news
of tho death reached members of the Klks"
lodp.o preparations wero mado Immediately
for taking ehargo of the remains. Judge
Learn was an enthusiastic member of that
order.
I). M. Vlnsonhalcr, exalted ruler of tho
Omaha lodge, learned of tho whereabouts
of Judge Lcarn'a mother and brother. Tho
former resides In New York City and the
latter In Chicago. Doth wero notified by
telegraph of tho death and Instructions rel
atlvo to disposition of tho remains wero
uakoil for.
No reply had bren received to tho mes
sages la3t night. In caso no request Is
received for tho body to bo sent east In
terment will bo mado In Omaha. Tho Klks
will havo ehargo of tho services and burial
will bo mado from tho lodgu rooms In the
Ware block.
llciith Hnfr-rM Content.
There was a peculiar coincidence In tho
fact that Judgo Lcarn'a death enme on tho
eve of hli yielding tho pollco court bonch
to Judgo Cordon, whom bo hucceeded by
appointment of tho mayor and council sev
eral months ago, pending tho Investigation
of Impeachmont charges against Judge Gor
don. Yesterday tho forty days allowed by
tho state supremo court for tho city to tlio a
motion for rehearing expired.
Judge Learn came to Omnlm from Kear
ney, whero ho served ns pollco Judgo for
several years, in tho fall of 1900 ho was
elected as a Justlco of thn pcaco In Omaha
and was still acting In this capacity when
appointed to tho pollco Judgeship. At tho
tlmo of his death he held both olllccs.
Judge Learn was popular, having a re
markablo capacity for making friends. Ho
could tell a story with rare effect, when
court had adjourned and ho had laid aside
his dignity It was n common thing to see
him -tho center of an admiring crowd, re
lating anecdotes with enrcful attention to
dialect and gesture.
During hla Incumbency of tho pollco court
bench Judgo Learn succeeded In ridding
tbat tribunal of the shyster lawyers who
had Infested it tor years, preying upon tin
forlunato prisoners and negotiating straw
bouds. Ho worked In porfect harmony with
tho police department, with tho result that
crlmo hi tho city was reduced to a mini
mum.
Mm or Moore' Opinion.
Mayor Maores was not prepared to state
officially what effect tho unexpected death
of Judgo Iearn would havo In tho settle
nient of tho police Judgo difficulty. "The
news -of Judgo Learn's death," said the
mayor, "has como upon mo like n clap of
thunder from a clear Bky. 1 have hardly
been nblo to collect myself since receipt
of the sad Intelligence. City
Attorney Council Is In Lincoln
today nnd I am trying to get him by tele
phono to find out tho legal status of the
matter In view of this unfortunate turn of
affairs. Judgo Loam expected to step down
and out of tho oQlco whon Judge Gordon
should present the mandate of tho supremo
court. Providence has taken him from his
post even beforo It was necessary tor him
to abandon It. Whatever action may havo
been proposed relative to Judge Gordon's
resumption of the bench will probably be
taken, notwithstanding this snd termination
of Judgo Learn's promising career."

it It will be possible to find anyone Thurs
day morning who has not given an evening

tho exposition will bo conducted exclusively
by tho women, nnd an organization Is now
being perfected, under tho leadership of
Mrs. Hoobler nnd Mrs. Harry Wellcr, en
thusiasts In the success of the exposition
and tho Auditorium, who will enlist tho co
operation of n large number of the best en
tertainers among tho ladles of Omaha,
Thu cash boxes nnd nil devices designed
for their enrichment will bo In possession
of the fair entertainers. The booths, games
and even tho buffalo wallow will bo subject
to the sweet will of tho women, and a corps
of feminine members of tho order Is now
conning the buffalo ritual with a vlow of
Improving tho secret work by tho Introduc
tion nf numerous surprises that must provo
pleasing to tho novitiate and profitable to
thu order. The regular attendants at the
booths will be permitted to enjoy a rest
that evening to give place to now facts, nnd
It Is confidently expected that tho cash re
ceipts for that night will put the exposi
tion considerably to tho good.
Ilmv the Contend. Hun.
Last evening's atteiidanco was about 600,
but tho returns from the voting contests
and games wero not In proportion to thoso
at tho box olllce. Although sho failed to
get a vote last night Miss liolchardt's name
still looms up ns that of the most popular
stenographer In tho typewriter contest.
Elks' night had swelled her Reoro to 4,903,
ns she Is the daughter of a member of that
liberal order, and garnered 1,060 votes
Tuesday ovenlng. Tho others whoso score
is near the 2,000 mark and beyond arc: Miss
Parduti, 1.112; Miss Dccchcr, 3,357, and Miss
Lohnes, 1,103.
In tho contest of popular policemen for
the meerschaum pipe there nro three lead
ing candidates bunched. Officer Shoup has

preferred candidate for tho now suit of

carrier, with Carriers English and Inlow
following at an unpromising distance. II. J.
Pcnfold Is again the popular candidate for
tho phaeton, leading J. Frank Cnrpcntcr by
a small margin.
Owing to the fact that some of tho mem
bers of the Omaha Guards nro otherwise
employed it will bo Impossible to have tho

nlso next week.
Syrliin Stvnrilsnieu In a Duel.
Last night a pleasing diversion was af
forded thoso who gathered In tho theaturlum
by two Syrians of Omaha, Ablln brothers,
expert swordsmen, who gave a spirited duel
with short swords us their contribution to
the pleasures of the evening and tho pro
motion of tho Auditorium project. While
they mako their homo In Omaha thoy are
wont to travel about In tho show business
and proclaim themselves as champion
swordsmen of Turkey nnd Syria.
Sevorul other specialties which had been
promised had not materialized and Superin
tendent GUlcn resolved to turn showman
himself and renew an old attachment to
the profession of a dramatic reader. He re
cited with spirit a humorous parody con
cerning tho experiences m a dnvlvlal
gentleman who stood on thobrldgo nt mid
night nnd was enabled to ,eo tijvo moons
riso over tno city instead or tho one which
usually lighted his sober senses.
Tonight tho Young Men's Chrlstlnn asso
ciation athletic classes will furnish tho en
tertainment In tho theatorlum, giving an
exhibition of their proficiency In gymnasium
work. It is predicted that tho Young Men's
Christian association will turn out a crowd
of willing Auditorium promoturs to swell
the receipts nnd Joyousncss nf tho occasion.

ho would tako the bench today. This will

cess until last night, nt tho suggestion of
City Attorney W. J. Council, who stnted
tbat ho had Important documents to sub
mit. These documents aro charges against
Judgo Gordon, which will be filed for tho
purpose of bringing hltu to trial beforo
tho council, the supremo court having In
timated that tho council has Jurisdiction
over his case.
I'uniiell Mtnmlft Henily.
Tho falluro of Judge Gordon to tako his
seat yesterday mado It Inadvisable to bring
action against him last night. Therefore
Mr. Connell did not fllo his charges, but
advised that tho council tako a further
recess until tonight.
In discussing tho Gordon ense beforo the
ccuncll City Attorney W. J. Connell said:
"Judgo Gordon !b tho legal police Judgo of
tho city of Omaha. Ho was pollco Judge
beforo tho death of William It. Learn, but
tho death of tho acting Judgo removed all
possible excuse for delay on Judgo Gor
dons part In taking his seat on tho bench.
When Judge Gordon nppcnled from tho
decision of tho court which removed hlni
from ofllco ho did not nnk tho supremo
court for a writ of ouster. Ho brought
action to havo tho decision of tho lower
court reversed. This was done and no
further movo on tho part of Judgo Gordon
was necessary to entitle hlra to his office.
"Judgo Gordon Is authorized to perform
the duties of pollco Judge. No mandate
from the supremo court Is ncccssury to
reinstate him In his old position. Ho Is
pollco Judgo now ns lndlsputnbly as ho
was beforo proceedings wero begun against
him. It he falls to tako his sent ou the
bench at once thcro will bo a vacancy,
which must bo filled. I would advise, that
this body tako n recess until tomorrow
night to await developments and sco what
action Judgo Gordon takes."
There was some objection to taking an
other rcccsss. Councllmcn Klmtnan and
Lobeck objected nnd said that a special
meeting could bo called without any
trouble. They wero outvoted, however, and
tho council will reconvene tonight at S
o'clock.
In Memory of Jniliie I.enrn,
President Karr named Councllmcn Has-
call, Mount and Ztmman ns a committee to
draft resolutions on tho death of Judge
Learn for presentation at tho meeting tills
evening.
Councilman Hascall introduced an ordi
nance which provides for tho burying of
all electric wires, with tho exception of
telephone, telegraph and street railway
wires. In tho territory bounded by Capitol
avenue, Eighth, Eighteenth nnd Howard
streets. Tho ordinance Is blank in part,
not having any time limit In which thu
work sholl be completed. It was referred
to tbo commlttco on railway and telegraphs.

tho Dank of Overton wns on trlnl. Tho plain
tiff seeks to recover from tho bank n sum

agreenu 1 1 was entered Into between
Thompson nnd Hardluger by which
Thompson was to supply tho money re

wns to act ns superintendent of tho work.
Thompson was to rccelvo from tho pro
ceeds of tbo business an amount equal to
tbo sums advanced beforo any dividends

were to sharo alike.
According to tho plaintiff's allegations
ho received no money from his Investment,
but Hardlnger sold to H. P. Stryker of
Lexington all of the cattlo on the farm
for $5,001), receiving In payment drnfts nnd
credits, which he had cashed at tho bank
of which ho was cashier.
