Grant, alleged raall-box robber, was arrested la Buffalo yesterday alter bavin? been at largo twenty-three days, lie made a sensational escape, from the custody of United States Deputy Marshal J O. Moore and Police Sergeant Derapsey In the union station at Chicago the morn lni; of April 7. Intelligence .' the arrest was received by Thief Donahue last night from Postoftlce Inspector Vlckery. He telegraphed from DuRalo that Oram had beon arrested there but gave no particulars. The In spn tor neked to have Sergeant Dempsey bring Grant's property to Cincinnati, where Ills trial Is fb be. It has not been decided' by the authorities here whether It will be necessary for Dempsey to return to the Ohio city. Grant, In company with his pal. Prentice Tiller, made a daring attempt to escape, In which only Grant was successful. The prisoners, handcuffed together, had been taken from the train by the officers to get breakfast and were In the watting room when the dash was made. Dempsey mlMed the keys for the handcuffs and returned tu the car to get them. In his absence the prisoners, who had secured possession of the keys before leav ing the car and unlocked their Irom, sprang upon tbe deputy marshal and over powered him. Tiller ran up the stain and out of ilgbt while Grant told the crowd which had gathered that Moore was a crazy man In his care. In the excitement Grunt made good Ills cocape. Tiller was not so fortunate, being recaptured by Chi cago officers Wore he had gotten many feet from the station. Grant had been photographed and meas ured by the Ilertlllon system while under nrrest In Omaha and his picture and de scription were sent broadcast over the country. The federal authorities were un remitting In their search for him and his recapture was only a question of time. Grant was arrested In Hastings by Chief Warner March 2i while attempting to vic timize merchants by the use of drafts stolen from a mall box In Cincinnati on March 6. His pal. Prentice Tiller, was taken In Omaha a few days later by Ser geant Dempsey, tiien a detective. He Is at present In the custody of the federal authorities at Cincinnati. South Omaha- News. 101 Even though all liquor licenses expired at midnight on April 50, only four local liquor dealers saw lit to pay Into the city treasury tho sum exacted yesterday. The regular license fee Is. according to the Slocum law, J 1,000 and In addition to this there remains tbe old occupation tax of 200, Saloon keepers have been vainly looking for some ray of light tn this connection and hourly expecting a special meeting of the coun cil to repeal this occupation tax ordinance. It was rumored early yesterday corning that a sreclal meeting of the council wcnM be held at 10 a', ra., but nothing transpired. Still the applicants for privileges did not comejn with tho money and, as tbe. mayor did .BuOs-uie any. ntietd a: the' police to notlry dealers In liquors, the saloons. were permitted to operate tbe entire day with out Hcerfge. It Is thought that when the liquor dealers see today that there Is no hope of having the occtiputton tax ordinance repealed they will pay up without further ado, Of the $1,200 demanded by City Treasurer Koutsky J 1.000 goes to the school district and the school hoard needs the money, as the build ing of the proposed High school is to comu up for cerlous consideration Monday night and It wll bt necessary to know at that time how much money there Is available. Nearly every member of the council says that, while the tax Is a little high, It wll'l bavo to be paid this year, as the funds are exhausted and, owing to the change In the charter ,tho expenses are Increased. Miob Don n To ilny. A meeting of the South Omaha Street Fair company will be held today for the purpose of arranging the tlnal details of tbe organization. According to the articles, the company will be Incorporated with a capital of J3.D0O and the members of the company will be expected to pay In their proportion at the meeting today. The In corporators of the company assert that there will be no lack of funds with which to carry forward the project and a big at tendance Is expected. Many of the repre sentative business men are Interested and, while the enterprise Is to be a private one, a great many merchants are taking part and have announced their Intention of as sisting In the work pertaining to the con ducton of a first-class street fair. The affair will be held from July 2 to 13, In clusive. .aaranlna; I'lty TniM, May 1 as the date set for Tax Com missioner Fitzgerald and his eight deputies to commence the assessment of city taxes.

Second, you cannot gel finer cloths. They are the best anil they como to us direct from tho producer. Third, the prices Hr hased on up-to-date methods of doing business.

Suitsl$13 50 up Omaha Branch Store, 122 So. 15th Street, Sf'uif las of the city council a committee was appointed to hustle out and see what could be done about securing rooms for the tax commissioner. A report Is to be made at the next meeting of the council, which will be held on Monday night. Until that time the commissioner Is virtually without a home acd active, operatons will hardly be commenced until some action Is taken by the council on the report of the coramltte. With eight competent deputies Tax Com missioner Fltzgirald expects to make a fair valuation on all property, regardless of ownership. It Is expected that the val uation returned by the commissioner will not be less than 12,2:6,000. There was hopes at first that the valuation for city purposes might be raised to 12. 250.000, but Just now It does not look as If this can be done, o.i account of the . andltlon of the Hammond plant. Commissioner Fitzgerald says that he proposes to de his duty and will make a Just and equitable assessment. City Cirri.' Mr trntrn t. As Is customary on tho first of each month the city clerk Issued a statement of the city's finances. Tbe amount of the 1500 levy was 1106,437, and from this there was drawn up to April 30 1SJ.477, leaving a balanco of JIO.OW. The balances In tbe various funds are: Interest. !.;U; Judg ment, 11.71S; police, 174; fire, overdrawn, 11.60; public light, balance, 12S3, saliry. 13S4; engineer, $131; street repair. II, park, 11.543; emergency, 125; general. $132. It will bo seen that the city Is In bard financial straits at this time, principally owing to the Are. police and water levies not being enough to meet the demands of the people. In case the occupation tax order Is carried out these depleted funds will be reimbursed. Itrnl Katntr Urnl. Several real estate deals of more or less magnitude are on the tapis and one of some Importance was consummated yesterday. Dr. T. II. Knsor sold his block of store buildings at Twenty-fourth and K streets to Daniel Gelsleman of Geneva. Neb. Mr. Gelslcman made the purchase as an Invest ment, and It Is asserted that he paid 118.000 for the property. This row of bulldln?s was erected by Dr. Knsor two or three years ago and from the start the seven stores have been ronstantly occupied. Real estate dealers Intimate that within the next few days a number of other Impor tant transfers will be made all going to show that outsiders have faith In the growth and stability of South Omaha.

George Stevens Is the poundmastcr now and he has secured ample help to as sist him In Impounding all canines not wearing the proper tags. Up to yesterday afternoon the city clerk had disposed of only 155 tags and this means that today the pound at Twenty-eighth and Railroad avenue will be filled to overflowing with dogs of alt kinds, colors and descriptions. An the free list has been entirely dispensed with this year everyone, even the mayor himself, will have to pay for tags.

The second annual ball of the Union Stock Yards Relief association will be held on Friday evening of this week at the Ex change hotel. This association was organ ized to provide sick benefits for employes and from the start the movement has been encouraged by the management of the yards.

A number of railroad officials visited South Omaha yesterday and Inspected the Hope Springs Eternal Democrats ot national repute, represent ing various sections of the country, hap pened In Washington recently and were persuaded to discuss tbe best means ot pumping some ginger Into the democratic party. Former Congressman Tarney of Missouri Is quoted as follows: "If some man who has been acting with tho Bryan element and who has been suffi ciently prominent In tbo party In tho past comes to the front with a platform that will make a departure from that of 1S36 and 1900. I think ho might unite the party and perhaps lead ,to victory tn 1004, But the Issues ot that campaign are yet to be developed nnd the prospects of the demo cratic party will depend upon the condi tions In the country at that time, rather than upon anything the democrats might do. If there should be a reversal of pros perity and hard times should come again the party In power will undoubtedly bo overthrown. If, on the other hand, pros perity continues and tho crops are abun dant and the country Is able to stand the strain ot reckless speculation the re publicans would probably remain In power. As to conditions In the south, that wilt depend on tbe negro question rather than on anything that tbe president can do. As long as the negro question remains prominent In the south the republicans have no chance." Tbe outlook In the south was the theme of Congressman Livingston ot Georgia. "It the negro question can be got out of the way In the south," he said, "and that has been accomplished to some extent, thero wilt unquestionably be a considerable num ber of business men who will favor the re publican party. How many I do not know, but among tbe bankers, railroad men, cot ton manufacturers and others Interested in big business enterprises In tbe south there are some who believe In tbe policies of the republican party. They believe In protection, expansion and liberal ex penditures tor public Improvements and a policy for the develop ment of Industries and the extension of trade and commerce. Tbe negro question has kept them 'n the democratic party, but that Qucttlou out of tbe way they uo re grading "peratlons In the northwestern part of the city.

It adds that this determination was reached at n conference of the promoters at Kanat City, ut which it was decided that the project was not feasible unless Omaha could be counted upon as the i orthern terminus of tho road. It expressed a hope that Omiha business men would recon sider their determination not to vote bonds.

I am not surprised, therefore, to hear from men tn those states where the negro question has In a measure been eliminated express themselves In favor of the republican ad ministration. "I think a majority of our people have no objection to the retention of the Philip pine Islands under a territorial form of government. Many of them believe that tbe possession of the Philippines means a gateway to the Oriental trade, and cotton manufacturers and cotton planters want a market for their products and look In that direction for development. There exists a strong sentiment in the south In favor ot the encouragement of the Industries which have been and are being developed." Judg James G. Magulre ot San Francisco, formerly a congressman, thus expressed himself: ''Tom Johnson of Cleveland is. In my opinion, a growing man In the party. He represents Issues and reforms upon which, In my opinion, tbe next national contest will be waged. He also represents a great economic philosophy, which is dally gathering strength, and, while it cannot be made a national Issue, It will bring to him vast support outside ot bis own party. He Is a man upon whom the democrats can unite, and, I believe, win a triumphant victory. He represents the progressive movement In favor of municipal ownership ot public utilities and franchlseu and tbo single tax Issue, things that will be a source of strength to blm should he be a candidate. "The single tax system Is to come eventu ally, In my opinion, as It Is tho only logical method ot taxation, but It will come gradu ally, I believe that a proposed amendment to the constitution on this subject will ba adopted in time. The trust question will probably be a prominent lesue lu the next campaign, and also tbe method ot dealing with the Insular possessions."

The commencement exercises and ban quet of the class of 10-01 of the dental de partment of the University of Omaha took place at the Iter Grand hotel last night. The banquet preceded the commence ment exercises. The banquet ball was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, and carnations were used as favors. A mandolin orchestra supplied the music. The ban quet was complete from blue points to cafe nolr. At Its close Dr. A. O. Hunt made a brief address and Dr. D. R. Kerr of Bel levue, chancellor of the university, re sponded to the toast "The University," briefly touching upon the development of that Institution, which Is composed ot four colleges, m Omaha and Bellevue. Dr. A. O. Hunt announced the graduates as follows: Eugene L. Bellamy, Arapahoe, Neb.; Prank W. Call. Fontanellc. Ia.; Wil liam W. Driver. Shenandoah, la.; George R. Card, Ord, Neb.; Lewis A.

VanSlyke, Geneva, Neb.; Elmer E. Wilson. St. Edward. Neb. To these Dr. Kerr gave diplomas, the gradu ates presenting themselves before him. Hon. J. L. Webster delivered the address to tho graduates. In opening his remarks he said he had no Intention of making a talk to the graduates, but ot talking to all the persons present, upon the duty ot all citizens to each other and to the state. Generally, but three classes take much In terest In politics, the lawyer, the labor leader and the ward politician. Others take but casual Interest in the matter. For that reason he addressed the ban queters on that subject. He would not adlso a study of politics upon the lines of the usual political address, for while It might appear that there were radical and organic differences between tbe po litical parties, yet there Is so much In common between them that It requires the national conventions to draw the lines of dcmarkatlon. He continued as follows: AiikIo-Mixoiih us Lenders. "The Anglo-Saxon race which controls this country is the bravest and best of any race on earth. In all places where the Anglo-Saxon has come into conflict with the other races he has stood out as the noblest ot all. We have followed the traditions of the fathers under changed conditions. This admiration for tradition, while entitled to great consideration, Is responsible for more evil and crime than any other one thing. It has kept kings upon the throne and has kept China hun dreds of years behind the times. Progress Is made by those people who are ready to study tbe questions of today In the light of present experience. "The emotional sentiment of the people was responsible for the war with Spain. When we declared that the Cubans ought to be free we made a mistake. Now when we have come to our senses we see that the great Interests ot tho United States must be protected If Cuba in to be free. Then came the Piatt resolution, the out growth of the doctrine of selt,-tpreserva-tlon. It should have been inserted In the first resolution. "In the case of the annexation of Hawaii, grave senators said we could not govern Hawaii as a colony, so we organized It as a territory. I think a grave mistake was made. The power to rule colonies Is Inher ent in all governments, no less In the United States than In England and Ger many. When It came to the acquisition of Porto Rico and the Philippines, the people had learned something and the American people are prepared to say that the United States can govern colonies. But we have gone a step further and have. In Cuba, as sumed the right of suzerainty over lands upon which we have no claim. In China the United States Issued Its manifesto that China must be preserved to the Chinese and tho whole world accepted the ultimatum, the armies to leave China when peace Is established and the opendoor to be main tained. I'lilllllilnes nn nn Investment. "Today more than 1200.000,000 annually Is expended In the United States for arti cles produced In countries similar In soil and climate to the Philippines. With proper management this vast amount of money can be paid to our own people for those prod ucts raised in the Philippines. More than 1175,000,000 has been spent by Americans to foreigners for the transportation of water freights. With the payment ot less than 6 per cent ot the pension money, less than Palaver of Democratic Doctors. It may be that we ought to deliver up to tho useless bacrlfico of tbe flames a few more presidential elections In the Interests of a cause already lost. We may bo of the earth earthly, wanting In grace, but some how we cannot help feeling that In this wicked world it U substance, not shadow, that rules. We pro mighty tired of shoot ing blank cartridges out ot flintlock muskets against an enemy armed with Mauser rifles and occupying all the strong positions upon the field of battle. "There Is a radical difference between recognizing existing conditions and of being answerable for their existence. We may re gret tbe altered situation raised up by the Spanish war. We may, as an original proposition, be averse to the idea of out lying territory and all tbts Implies. We may have been shocked by the president's change of policy as to Porto Rico, by the scandals la Cuba, by the blundering In Manila, but we cannot deny that, tor weal or woe, we are In possession of Porto Rico and the Philippines; that we are granted In Cuba and that we must either pack up and come away and In doing so make a con fession of national Impotency or else, standing our ground, proceed with the new and complicated obligations and duties In cident thereto. "In abandoning the Philippines we yield our vantage ground In tho far east, which Is already become the center of the strife of the powers for commercial supremacy. We make what tbe world and the ages wilt hold an Ignominious and short-sighted surrender, for we are entering upon a cycle ot pure commercialism, whose end will witness the survival ot the fittest; and since when was any spirited people In sensible either to money or empire? " 'Wrong, morally wrong,' says Mr. Bryan. Why, on that line all effort which has gain for Its object Is wrong. 'Out ot line with American traditions,' says Mr, Bryan. Why, every Important movement, from the Louisiana purchase to he abolltlou ot slavery, might be so described. But, right qr wrong, they are facts, and, as an or ganized body, what shall the democratic party do about them?" one-seventh of the amount of the river and harbor bill of last year, the American ship ping Interests can be built up. I do not know that the subsidy bill will be adopted, but In some way this Industry wilt be in the hands of the citizens ot the United States In tbo oceans on both sides of the land. "The man does not live today who can say what the United States will do In five years with the vast aggregations of capital commonly called trusts. It Is a question for much consideration." The speaker stated that In his belief the population of the United States by the year :000 would be at least 300.000.000 peo pie and that the people of today must an ticipate this condition; the men who have the steering of the ship of state must be guided by an enlightened, educated people.

James Callahui has made his last public appearance for the present and will remain In the retirement of the county Jail until the next term of court. His detention will probably extend over several weeks before any further action Is taken. Callahan s attorney appeared before Judge Baker yesterday and withdrew the plea of not guilty entered by their client In the charges ot false Imprisonment and grand larceny now pending against him. They substituted Instead a plea In bar spec ifying that the alleged kidnaper had al ready been put li Jeopardy as to bis liberty and that no further detention on virtually Identically charges would be constitutional. No argument beyond a mere statement of the case was made, as the point must be presented to a Jury and action will nec essarily be deferred until the next term of court. The prosecution Is relying more upon an allegation of perjury than those now before the court. County Attorney Shields will file such a complaint at once and Callahan's testimony Is being extended by stenogra phers for the purposes of the Inquiry.
