over stones and ditches of the city's streets

know it. They run and fetch each other
from the back offices and fly down the
stairways or lean dangerously out of upper
Window at tae tap of tha drum. From the
:er streets' where' the pageant will not
come, from, the country, ana tne nearoy
towns, they arrive early and wait If need
be for hours, or being late, struggle
desperately with , the earlier ones for a
plaoe to view the treat.
Little waiting" waa necesaary yesterday
morning, for fho Barnum 4k Bailey people
had no hurried preparations to make, being
already on the ground. The blatant parade
mualo caught many yet far from the line

regular circus parade features. The wheels
of no other vehicle on earth rumble as do
those of the animal 'cages. It It fine
mualo. All ot the wagons were a-flutter
with pennants of the nations, Uncle Sam's
trade mark at the right front of each.
From the large number of pennants of
German states and principalities it was
evident the circus had not been long away
from the fatherland.
One feature of the parade was a set of
floats representing various ages In the
world's history. The camels and the ele
phants were fine animals and came along,
two by two, just at they did out of the
ark, from the very largest tort of a No. 1
elephant to the smallest Use, which might
fitly answer to the name of Fldo. A bunch
of Japanese received the Interested stares
'of thf crowd with self-conscious good na

held the latter half of the parade for five
minutes, but the line toon moved on again.

the event thla year surpassed anything of
the kind yet attempted by the people of
Phelpa county He declares that as an
exhibition showing what' the state can do
the exhibition was remarkable.
"One would expect to find rye, corn, wheat
and agricultural produce of that kind," he
said, "but I waa rather taken back when
they showed me apples, pears plums, prunes
and peaches, which in apeparanee would
oompare with the product of the beat fruit
raiting statea. They had even a display
of walnuts, the product of Imported tree.
The event waa In the nature of a harveet
jubilee and ft la estimated that there wer
16,000 people on the grounds Friday. An
attractive temporary pavilion was erected
on the grounds and on the last day there
was a flower parade which was rather -Imposing.
Artistically) It waa a successful
event and the people of Phelpt county are
deserving of a great deal of praise for tha
exhibit "

HEADS OF FAMILIES HELD FOR BURGLARY
Chief Brlggs Makes Short Work ef
Case Presented to Kim by the
Owner ef Store that Waa
Looted.
Early Sunday morning th general store
of J. Ruduslner, 1428 U street, was broken
Into and a quantity of provisions carried
away. "The burglary waa not reported to
the police until after roll call Sunday morn
ing and before 10 o'clock two men had
been arrested for the crime and the stolen
property recovered. Th prisoner are
Jacob Sellska and Anton Tlsknlc. Both
have families and reside near the store
that was robbed. Among th article taken
was a box of soap, two sacks of flour, tome
tobacco, a 'live goose and a ccupls of live
ducks. Chief Brlggs had quit a time In
getting th goose and the ducks away from
the wives of th men arrested, but he
finally managed It and returned th fowl
to th owner, while the balance of the
goods ttolen were taken to police head
quarter to be used aa evidence. Beth
prisoner deny any knowledge of the crime,
but a the stolen property was found In
their homes the evidence seems conclusive
to the police. Ruduslner told th police
that the prisoner were well acquainted
with' his store and his habits, snd that It
was not hard work for them to effect an
entrance through the rear and carry off
the goods. Today the chief of police will
ask the county attorney to fll complaint
of burglary against the men now held
under suspicion.
The burglary Is considered especially bold
a there Is sn officer on th beat all night
and frequently a regular and special offi
cer make the rounds of the stores and th
buildings In that vlolnlty. The patrolman
on the beat can give no explanation,
neither can the special officer. These offi
cers ar to be called In today for a state
ment Only two burglaries of Importance
have occurred In South Omaha In tha last
four weeks, and In both cases the police
have apprehended those Implicated within
a short time.
Mike Hart Case.
In reply to telegrams sent. Chief of Po
lice Brlggs received from. Nate Smith, chief
of police at Coffeevllle, Kan., laat night a
telegram concerning the Mike Hart case.
Chief Smith statea In his message that th
name of the man he Is holding for the
shooting is John Moley. He describe him
aa being five feet six Inches tall, blue eye,
dark hair, slightly tinged with gray, and
about 41 year of age. Requlaitlon papers
are not neceaeary. . ao says Chief Smith.
Today Chief Brlggs will call upon the
county attorney and present the telegrams,
along with the district court record, and
will act In this matter on the advice of the
county attorney. As far as known there
Is no reward offered for the man who shot
Hart. This shooting occurred when John
McDonald waa sheriff, and after the arrest
of the two-suspects, who -wer later dis
charged from custody, the case was
dropped. Chief Brlggs hardly knows which
way to take steps In this matter. . Mike
Hart Is dead and there Is no one here to
prove that the statement of Moley 1 true
or otherwise. Thomaa Brennan, who waa
chief of police at the time of the ahooting
and robbery, la now In San Francisco, while
the other- members of the police force who
served at the time are scattered. No de
tails of the crime are given ' on the police
records, aa Chief Brennan had a habit of
keeping most of,the records In his head,
and when he went away tha records wnt
with him. ;...
Bxpeet Busy Day. .
. ' Monday is expected to be a busy day at
the stock yards and packing houses. From
reports received last night there will be
a big run of live stock today. The packers
declare that with the strike over and the
old men returning to work they will be
more than prepared to take care of all the
stock that come. Some of th nonunion
men at all of the plants left quietly yester
day, as they expect their places to be filled
today by union men.' By the middle of
the week the packers think that conditions
will have adjusted themselves so that all
departmenta will be running under normal
conditions. The mechanical workers here
have declared the strike off and the men
In thla branch will seek employment at the
plants today.
Keaworthy Arreats Fishermen.
Last evening a party ot nine well known
Omaha and South Omaha business men
wer returning from a fishing trip In a
carryall. While driving along Twenty-fifth
street near H street the party started up
a song and Special Officer Kenworthy took
It upon himself, to stop the carryall, and,
drawing a revolver, ordered the. driver to
turn back to the city hall. This waa done
without protest from the members of th
party, who at first thought It a joke. Ken
worthy followed behind th vehicle with
his revolver In hand. At police headquarters
th officer on duty recognised all of th
members of the fishing party, but In order
to get In the clear It Waa necessary for
each to deposit 85 as security for their
appearance in police court today.
Vladnet Now Open.
Contractor Parks has completed the pav
ing of th approach at the west end of th
O street viaduct and the bridge la' now
open to vehicle. All that remain to be
don to complete the structure I th lay
ing of the concrete sidewalks at the west
nd and th painting of seme of th'e iron
nd woodwork. This bridge was built
jointly by th Union Pacific and th Union
Stock Tarda company. Work was com
menced In th spring and the viaduct was
to have been completed by August 1, tut
delays in th j arrival of material put a stop
to the work for a few weeka. Without ex
ception this bridge Is the finest in the city
and Is put up strong enough to carry a
rauroaa train. The coat of the structure
Is not given out by the companies Inter
ested. Now that this viaduct Is completed,
it Is expected that th Union Pacific will
aoon commence th fencing of It tracks
from L street to U street on the east aid.
Th atock yarda company will fence In Its
tracks on th west and there wfll be no
occasion for persona other than employes
to cross the network of tracks after the
fencing Is completed. It Is expected that
additional tracks will soon be laid and
that the system or "puasle switches" will

Coal Bids Tonight.
Thla evening the Board of Education will
meet and tha expectation Is that bids for
supplying coal to the city schools will be
opened. An advertisement for proposals
has been running for some time. No spe
cific amount of coal needed Is mentioned
In the advertisement, but the Impression 1
that about 1,100 ton of bituminous coal
and torn anthracite coal will be needed.
Reporta from Superintendent McLean re
garding the opening of the schools and th
first week's enrollment and attendance will
be read. Under present conditions the
board has employed more teachers than It
needs at thla time, but these teachers will
doubtless be placed when the new high
school building Is ready for occupancy.
Prisoner Aaaas Themselves.
Sunday afternoon a bunch of vagrants
and suspicious characters confined In th
city Jail amused themselves by digging
away a portion of the eaat wall to the Jail.
This was all done during 'the afternoon,
and the day jailor did not notice anything
wrong. When th . night fore went on
duty th usual Inspection was made and
a hoi half way through the wall was dis
covered. Owing to the condition of th
foundations of the Jail prisoners find little
difficulty digging out If they want to do ao.
The mortar la soft and the bricks being
always moist, are almost as soft as damp
clay. It Is only by constant vigilance that
prisoners are kept In th Jail any time at
all. Th night. fore makea a specialty of
making inspection inside and out every
half hour, but this Is not don In th day
tlm. .... i
Prisoner Show Malice.
The prisoner confined In the city Jail
Sunday showed malic by stuffing old
clothes and newspapers down the drain
pipes and outtlng th cords to the water
upply. It was only a short time before
tha Jail was In an unsanitary condition. As
no plumbers could be secured on Sunday
to remove the obstructions In the drain
pipe or start the flow of water, the stench
from the jail wa something' awful. 'It
was tha prisoner who suffered most, a
the door between the Jail and the Jailor's
office wa kept closed. The prisoners In the
main Jail who had nothing to do with the
clogging of the pipes were removed to the
temporary detention department, and an
additional complaint will be filed agalnat
the prisoners who maliciously obstruoted
the drains.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES
"A Girl from Dixie" at the Boyd.
Decidedly refreshing in the novelty It
offers, "A Girl from Dixie" received a very
cordial reception from two large audlenoe
at the Boyd yesterday afternoon and even
ing. ,Jt la not a particularly ambitious
piece In any regard, but it has a quality
that la peculiarly Its own, and that quality
I one that pleases. Another of It ad
vantage I that the people who are con
nected with It, and the chorua especially.
can sing. It situations are not of the
klnjAthat provoke uproarious laughter, nor
areMs aongs of the sort that carry people
off their feet, but there la a melody to them
that la effective, and they are all sung with
a finish that I delightful.
. Mis Genevieve Day, who is the "girl,"
haa a full, rich soprano voice of pleasing
tone quality, and uaea It with rare Intel
ligence, securing the best possible effects
from the airs she la called upon to sing
She was warmly received last night. Mr.
Arthur' T. Earnest, the tenor of the com
pany, also ha an excellent voice, which he
use very well. But there are othera. The
quartet of aerenaders, who sing without
accompaniment In the aecond act, gender
cvvia auiiav iu wie immense sailBiaeuon
of their hearers, and the chorus Is good at
all timet. In fact. It has been long since
Omaha ha heard a chorus that could sing
aa well.
D. L. Don and Clifford Leigh contribute
most of the humor of tha piece, and as
each Is a clever comedian, this part of the
performance la well taken care of. Th
staging I handsome and effective and the
company drilled to work with a snap, so
that the general effect Is excellent.
"Way Oat West" at the Km.

MAJORITY VOTE FOR JENSEN
Lobeck and Withntll Award Sewer Con
tract to Lowest Bidder.
CHAIRMAN R0SEWATER OPPOSES THEM
Explains His Position I Consistent
Because Jensen Bid Contained
Flaw Which Seeded Borne
Explanation.
Member Lobeck and Wlthnell of the
Board of Public Works,, at a special meet
Ins;, decided to recommend to the council
that the contract for the California-Fourteenth
street main sewer be let to J. Jensen,
the lowest bidder, for $21,686.!, with the
explanation, however, that Mr. Jensen had
violated the . terms of the notice to con
tractors by omitting; prices for Inlets.
Chairman Rosewater voted against the
resolution, because he desired the recom
mendation made without explanation. Lo
beck' said he voted the way he did be
cause the sewer la to be paid for out of the
general revenues and there la no danger
of Invalidating a district sewer tax. Con
nolly had stated that he did not care
for the main sewer award, but wanted the
one In dlatrict 29.
This he got, so far as recommendations
went, by the same division of the board.
His price was 9,142.46, aa opposed to
Jensen's $8,693.78, but the latter failed to
enumerate Inlets which are against this
action.
The controversy between him and Lobeck
regarding the admission of Jensen's bids
was over the right of the board to accept
it, notwithstanding the fact that the notice
to contraotors says any omissions shall
render a bid Invalid. Chairman Rosewater
held the city could regard or disregard
this rule at will, while Lobeck contended
to the contrary.
He Didn't Bar a Word.
A lively looking porter stood on the rear
platform of a sleeping car In the Pennsyl
vania station when a fussy and choleric
old man clambered up the steps. He stopped
at the door,' puffed for a moment and
then turned to the young man in uniform.
"Porter,', he said, "I'm going to St. Louis
to the fair. I want to be well taken care
of. I pay for it. Do you understand?"
"Yes. sir, but"
"Never mind any 'buts.' Tou listen to
what I aay. Keep the train boys away
from me. Dust me oft whenever I want
you to. Give me aA extra blanket, 'and
If there la anyone in th berth over me
slide hint into another. I want you to"
"But, say, boss. I"
"Young man, when I'm giving instruc
tions, I prefer to do the talking myself.
You do aa I aay. Here Is a 12 bill. I want
to ;et the good of it. Not a word, sir.'
The'traln was starting. The porter pock
eted the bill with a grin, and swung him
self to the ground.
"All right, boas!" he shouted. "You can
do the talking if you want to. I'm power
ful sorry you wouldn't let me tell you
but I ain't going out on that train."
