BVRGLAR WORKING OVERTIME Park I-' Visits Xsnter of Honses Avenue. Tha ubiquitous lone' burglar still keeps busy In defiance of the police's efforts to locate htm and Park avenue was the last place selected for his operations. At the residence of Captain George Crane the burglar appeared to have taken hi time, as nearly every room in the house was ransacked in the search for money. From the captain's traveling grip the thief secured 160 la currency and two boxes of the owner's choice brand of havanas. The residence of E. E. Hart, president of the First National bank, doss to that of Cap tain Crane, was evidently entered by means of a skeleton key. Here the burglar appro priated a candle which he found In the kitchen and went from room to room, but aa far aa la known failed to secure any booty. Mr. and Mrs. Hart were away from bom and the housekeeper failed to bear the burglar. At the residence of former County Super visor D. T. Dryden the burglar did not hesitate to move the furniture about In his search for money, but evidently did it so neiseleesly as not to awaken any of .the members of the family. Here the fellow used numerous matches to find his wsy about the house. Only a small sura of money was secured at the Dryden home. At the residence of Mrs' Ellen O'Donneil, a block way from the Drydea borne, the burglar secured about IS from two pocket- books, but waa heard by one of the family and made a hasty exit through one of the wlndowa. The lone burglar's operatkms on Park avenue occupied him evidently until about 4 o'clock In tha morning, for at this hour he appeared at Uie residence of Hubert Tinley. assistant cashier of the Btate Bar tnga bank, on Glen avenue. The fellow's skeleton key proved of no use here and he started to rut the screen on one of the downstairs wlndowa The noise of the rip ping of the wire aroused Mr. Tinley and he Methodist Women to Meet.

Delanney Cashes Rad Check. A. Delanney, florist at Twenty-fourth and L streets. Is out $10 in cash and flowers amounting to tl.25 by cashing a worthless check. Wednesday evening a young man slightly tattered and badly In need of a Shave called on the florist and stated that ha wanted some flowers for his sister, who was going to a dance. He explained hjs condition by saying that he was on the way home from work. In payment for the flowers he tendered a check made out In favor of G. W. Loo mis and purporting to be signed by H. G. Raymond. The check was on the Packers' National bank. When the check was deposited yesterday it was found to be worthless. Delanney at once reported the matter to the police and gave the best description he could of the man who handed him tha paper. Investigation showed that the checV similar to the one passed had not been In use by the Packers' bank for over six months. Where the young " man obtained the check Is what Is puxsling the police. -At any rate he la still at large. Murphy Case Postponed. The Hugh Murphy mandamus case, relat Ing to the paving of Missouri avenue, was to have come up In the district court Friday afternoon... Owing to the fnct that Judge Sears was engaged on other matters the case was postponed without date. The ex pectatlon Is that the case will be called for hearing some day next week. This Is the case where Hugh Murphy seeks to have the mayor sign the contract for the paving and grading of Missouri avenue from Thirteenth street to Twenty-fourth street. While at torneys appear willing to admit that the contract Is all right no funds are available for the payment of the work. All Murphy seems to want Is to establish the validity of his contract.

James A. Hall returned Fridayiafter- noon from Lincoln, where she attended the state convention of the Order of the East ern Star. When the election of officers was held Thursday night Mrs. Hall waa chosen grand conductress, the third highest office of the order In the state. All last evening Mrs. Hall was kept busy receiving congrat ulations from the members of the Eastern Star In South Omaha. Maa-le City Gossip. On account of the Ancient Order of United Workmen convention next week the Judge Sears and the lawyers had a long wait for Colonel H. C. Akin Friday morn ing, in the Omaha Gas Engine and Motor company case. The major was badly wanted as a witness, bur was busy over at Masonic hall, exemplifying the ritual or feeding the prlxe goat, or something of the kind. He positively could not get ta court, because his absence from the hall would spoil the goat's appetite. After two or three of the lawyers had failed to persuade Colonel Akin that he really ought to come Into court, Judge Sears sent his bailiff over to Interview the wit ness. The bailiff returned with the In formation that Colonel Akin would be over as soon as possible, and with that the court and counsel hsd to rest content. Mr. Risley, the former secretary of the company, was again put on the stand, to Identify books, entries of stock transfers. tell how the business was managed and switched, and how the officers were de posed an delected at will. After it was decided to push Colonel Akin out of the president's chair, . Gunnar A. Lindquest waa seated as president for about five weeks, and then he was sent to the discard In favor of United States Commissioner Gustave Anderson. Mr. Risley explained that this was done, he supposed, "for the greater financial In fluence Judge Anderson could bring to the affairs of the company." Mr. Baldiige, questioning the witness, had to combat the objections of Messrs. Webster and Tuttle in trying to prove up on certain matters of detail that were very important to bJm. Even after Judge Sears overruled their objections, Mr. Web ster tacked a point and came up into the wind again on the court's lee side with the assertion that if Mr. Baldrlge got the testimony he wanted It would be false testimony, constructively. Then more ar gument, pointing and blocking until the noon recess. Colonel Akin was on the stand after the noon recess and told a very succinct story of the inception and organization of the company. He said Clover, after getting the stock in payment for his patents, was to give Dr. Coulter a large block for services rendered and money advanced. Akin and Risley were also to have twenty-five shares each for services to be rendered. Colonel 'Akin served as president for six months. then was summarily put out of office to give place to Gunnar A. LIndqulst. Cross examination was by Mr. Webster, representing LIndqulst, lor the purpose of showing that the latter had never sub scribed or paid for 100 shares of stock that were voted in his luwne by the alleged wreckers of the company, At times the tilts between counsel had to be stopped by Judge Sears. This was especially true after Akin had been excused and Risley re called. The witness used the word "rifled' when speaking of his desk from, which the books and papers of the company had been removed during his absence. Mr. Webster protested vehemently against what he called the animosity of the w.t ness toward the defendants and wanted his evidence cut out of the record. Mr, Baldrlge as strongly objected and both men were on the floor at once "Now, you wait until I get through" with tense and earnest expression. The storm quickly blew over and then Judge Sears said he would allow the test! mony to remain, but not as showing that LIndqulst knew of the use Solicitor McKeo had made of his name as a purchaser of the stock alleged to be his. A lot of legal crossflring ensued, and Mr Abbott wanted the court to have Receiver Stout brought into court to testify. He Is now at Bassett, Neb., It is understood, and, as he Is still an officer of the court, It Is not thought there will be any difficulty in getting him to come here and testify. The case will be resumed next Monday If the court fan arrange to hear further evidence at that time. FROST FAILS TO DO HARM Precipitation la This Ylrlnltn'la Ko't Apprerlnble as M as Feared It Would Re. It wasn't much of a frost after all, though the Intentions were good for a first-class garden truck paralyser. The minimum temperature recorded by the gov ernment weather bureau thermometers was 38, which would Indicate a temperature of about J4 or 35 In more exposed parts about the city. Forecaster Welsh said: "Light to heavy frosts were reported all around us, par ticularly In western Iowa, eastern Nebraska and northward up the valley. A bt-low frecilng temperature la reported In north eastern Colorado, northern and western Ne braska, western Minnesota, the Dakota. Wyoming find Montana. Rain Is reported at Grand Junction.

The outlook for tonight ia for fair and for warmer tomorrow." Volunteer reports Indicate that the frost about Omaha was very light and In some sections there waa no frost at all. What ever damage may have resulted from the light frosts hereabouts Is very slight. ALBION, Neb., May 5 (Special.) The mercury reached the freezing point last night and the early risers reported con siderable frofct at daylight this morning. There was quite a stiff wind during the night, which doubtless lessened the amount of frost. The damage. If any. Is slight. the house only a few minutes the fle s'arted.
