SIDNEY. Ia., May 6 (Special.) J. H,
McDonald, a banker of this city, haa made
an important discovery at his coal mine,
three miles north of Thurman. A substance
which he had mistaken for shsle proves to
be a high grade of cannel coal, worth twice
as much as ordinary soft coal. The article
has been tested In a blacksmith's forge and
pronounced equal If not superior to the best
grade of Pennsylvania cannel coal. Mr.
McDonald Is running an eight-foot tunnel
into the Missouri bluffs, and has within the
limits of the tunnel three feet of cannel coal
and from sixteen to eighteen Inches of soft
coal of a good quality. He has employed a

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

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.

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.
