He spent the morning In his private offlco
and when asked nt noon as to when ho
would dismiss the. grand Jury, replied that
he could not say until ho had met with tho
body and been Informed on what it had ac
complished. During tho forenoon tho de

sistent that he lied from the court houso
early to make certain of finding time to

The Judge left Washington Wodnosda)

Mr. Unltt asked for a recount of only

motion for leave to amend the defendant's
answer to the original petition of tho plain

to amend, and the recount was Immediately
taken up. Three precincts of the Sixth

in these Miller made a gain of eight.
In the afternoon the recounting was con

NEW TURN AT PANHANDLING
Colored Mnn Who In Said to Have
Ilurled Seven Mother Conic
to Genuine Grief.
Dick Dudley, colored, is locked up at tho
pollco station, charged with "panhandling,"
a novel form of crlmo which In the Copper's
Unabridged Is defined thus: "Panhandling,
getting money on the strength of hard luck
story, or to abate a nulsanco. Tho most
common forms nro (a) circulating petition
to raise funds to bury dead mother or to
ship homo body of dead brother; (b) ac
cepting money as prlco of sllenco, prac
ticed mostly by organ grinders, etc."
"He was a whoy-colored, mlsbegottca
caitiff, who for a decade had canvassed tho
parish, panhandling the peasantry;" Bal-

It remained for Dudley, however, to mako

Marrlago licenses aro secured in the
office of the clerk of the county court. Fish
ing and bunting licenses aro secured in
tho county clerk's office. A prospective
groom got into tho wrong place ycaterday
and happened to have with him n friend
whom Frank Dewey, deputy county clerk,
remembered bad been In for a fishing and
hunting llcenso a fow days before. The
matrimonial candldatenskcd simply for "a
llcenso" and Mr. Dewey assumed that he
wanted one like his friend bad gotten.
That Is how It hnppened that Mr. Dewey
said, qulto familiarly:
"I s'poso you aro both going to make
your killings at tho snmo place."
Tho applicant looked u little surprised,
but ,eald very politely that he believed
not.
"Do you go out oftenT"
"Why, no! I have novcr approved of
that sort of thing."
"You haven't? Woll, I am not with you
In that opinion. I think a man is all the
better for a little sport now and then. I
would go myself If I could over find tho
tlmo. Going to tako a boat?"
"No, what little traveling wo do will bo
by rail."
"Woll, that Is tho most comfortable way,
but I llko to put on my old clothes and
Just cut loose on a trip of that kind. I
have had several of thorn In former days
and eaoh one seemed Just a little Jollier
than the last. You will get to liking the
fun of it after you havo been out onco and
will probably want to repeat it all every
year. Most people do."
The groom-elect was flushed and per
spiring, but he Bald nothing. Presently
Mr, Dewey finished filing In the blanks and
as he tossed tho license over the counter
he said:
"Take my advlco and if you have a wlfo
don't invite her to go along on this trip.
Women aro all right, but they aro out
of place in this sort of thing. Just get a
good dog and that is all tho company you
need. Now why, what's the matter? Any
thing wrong with that license?"
"Tho llcenso is all right of its kind, I
believe, but It will hardly answer my pur
pose." "Why not? It's about the only kind we
over issue."
"Well, that may be so, but I cannot very
well be married on a llcenso to hunt and
fish, can I? In fact, I am through huntln
and fishing. What I wish now Is a writ of
attachment on the game."
Mr. Dewey whistled long and gently.
Then, without attempting further remark,
ho led tho way to Harry Morrill's desk In

Hero la the story as told to tho pollco by
Jack Broomfleld, proprietor of tho Midway
saloon:
"He camo down stairs in bis shirt sleeves
in my placo yesterday, forenoon nnd said
he'd been robbed of $12 during tho night.
About midnight, ho said, ho'd rented a room
of the night bartender and had gono to bed.
Ho had tried, to leave his money down
atalrs, according to rules, but the barMndor
hadn't been ablo to opon the safe at;d so
ho had been compelled to tako it to his
room with him.
"It was Impossible to get at tho night
bartender at that hour, so I couldn't verify
tho fellow's story, and, as he mado a ter
rible roar, I finally gave him $12, taking
his receipt tor It.
"When the bartender finally showed up
ho said Dudley hadn't been near tho houso
tho night before and that the room ho said
he was robbed In hadn't been occupied or
and bowed an embarrassed farowell to the
man whoso object he bad mistaken, but
whoso remarks he will not soon forgot.
Girls Kind a Shoemaker.
One of two young women, riding down
in an elevator of the Paxton block tho other
morning was overheard to remark: "Now
the noxt thing to do will be to bunt up a
shoemaker."
Constable King, a fellow passongor,
thought here was on opportunity to drum
up a llttlo business and do the young
women a favor at tho samo tlmo, so he
said: "I'm just going up thero, ladles.
If you'll come with mo I'll show you tho
way." Thoy followed hlra.
"Hore'B some clients for you, Judge," said
the constable, bowing to Attornoy W. S.
Shoemaker. Ho found chairs for them.
Tho young women looked about the shop
dubiously for a moment, then read the
word "Shoemaker" on tho door, and were
reassured. One of them fumbled in the
recesses of a big telescope valise, and
brought to light a dilapidated pair of pat
ent leather galtors.
"How much will you charge to half-sole
those?" she asked, passing tho footgear to
"his honor."
Tho half-dosen visitors In tho office
laughed Immoderately. Judgo Shoemaker
showed tho young women his business card,
whereon they searched In vain for "re
pairing neatly done." Thoy decllnod to
leave their names, but from a letter
dropped by one of them It was learnod that
they woro Uellovuo college students.

Robert McElravy of Detroit, represent

Omaha's hoodoo or else Omaha Is his hoo

explains his charge:
"I como to Omaha rather frequently, but
not at regular intorvals, and every tlmo

snapped up the rooms I want. Tho first
time I came, 'the exposition was on and

Under thoso circumstances I was content
to tako Just any old thing in the way of

of that kind, and after that I struck the

Ho wnlked slowly up to tho highly pol
Ishcd bar, ordered a drink, of whisky and
laid down a $5 bill.
"There," sold ho despondently, "that's
tho laBt piece of money I'vo got to my
namo and when that's gone I don't know
whore. I'm going to eat or sleep."
Ho proceeded to relate- a bard luck tale
to the barkeeper, nnd a stranger who was
standing by felt sorry for him.
"Let mo have another drink of that
whisky,'" said he, after tho chango from
tho flvo had been handed to him.
After the second drink the customer felt
moro cheerful, remarking that he would
get along all right and come out on top of
tho financial troubles that seemed to b'
bearing him down. Then he took the third
drink, threw out his rhcat, smiled broadly,
tapped his coat where tho Inside pocket
ought to be, and declared:
"Say, John, I'vo got $1,850 right here In
my pocket, and"
"Here, John," yolled the bystander,
"give me throe drinks of that same whisky
right away."

to a piano of absolute equality with tho

is partly tho rosult of tho talluro of the

treasurer's books as a fictitious balance
over since.
"Tho board haa had to worry along In this

'Twenty' thousand dollars of this saving
