Rainey Does Well.
From Saturday's Daily
Officer Ben Rainey last night covered
himself with glory by the capture of the
four men who had burglarized the car
containing the goods of Supt. Baird of
the Burlington shops. The matter had
been under investigation by the Bur
lington authorities and yesterday after
noon Agent Pickett noticed four men
camping in a hollow near the big bridge.
He reported the matter to Marshal Fitz
gerald and there was no action taken at
the time. Later Fitzgerald and Mr.
Pickett searched the cars of an Italian
extra gang in the yards here, but their
work was futile, save that they found
that the timekeeper of the gang had
purchased an overcoat from some men
in the earlier part of the day. This
proved to be the clue and the officers
made a descent upon the camp of the
four men seen by Agent Pickett. In
company with Mr. Pickett, Marshal
Fitzgerald and Officer Rainey went up
to the camp and Rainey covered the
men with his gun while he placed them
under arrest. A search revealed the
missing goods and the men were placed
in jail It was a bold and daring move
by Officer Rainey and entitles him to
much praise. He was taking desperate
chances with such men as they are un
doubtedly yeggmen of the worst type.

Traveling Mem For Bryan.
J. J. Moriarity, president of the
Illinois Division, T. P. A. was a caller
at democratic head quarters. He ii -formed
E. O. Wood' of the Commercial
Travelers' League, that a big majority
of commercial traveling men are for
Bryan and Kern this year. He said:
"In 189(5 fully 90 per cent of the
traveling men were against Mr. Bryan.
I have traveled in the east and middle
west recently, and it is my opinion that
fully 75 per cent of the traveling men
will vote for Mr. Bryan this year.
This is a most remarkable change in
the attitude of one class of voters, but
it is typical of the general drift to
wards democracy, which convinces
me that Judge Taft will be defeated.
"Twenty thousand traveling men
who opposed Mr. Bryan in 1996 are
now out of jobs. They have lived to
6ee Mr. Bryan's prediction csme true
They have lost their positions as
result of the growth and developement
of trusts and monopolies. The destruct
ion of competition in the commercia
world has hit our organization a severe
blow. That is one of the strong
reasons why so many traveling men
will vote for Bryan this year for the
first time."

A VERY PLEASING
ENTERAirU.IEHT
I The P. E. 0. Tender Public School
Teachers a Reception.
From Sat urday's Dally
A very large crowd was present last
evening at the entertainment given by
the 1 E. O. society at the home of the
Misses Gering on North Sixth street.
For the occasion there had been elabor
ate preparations made, many flowers
being in evidence on every hand. There
was an elegant program had under the
direction of Mrs. E. H. Wescott.
The opening number a splendid piano
solo by Miss Ella Margaret Dovey was
rendered with all the grace and char
acteristic ability which has made the
young lady so well liked in this city
Mrs. Edna Marshall Eaton gave "Good
Bye Summer," a fine solo, which was
heartily encored and thoroughly en
joyed by the large audience.
Ben Windham read an humorous se
lection covering the experiences of a
man at a foot ball game which elicited
much applause and laughter, but it re
mained for Prof. II. S. Austin to
capture the audience with "Bandolero.'
Mr. Austin had proposed to surprise
the guests and he certainly succeeded
He suddenly appeared in the room in
the midst of the prelude to the music
clad in a full Spanish costume', the cos
tume of the bandit and after stirring
words of the Spanish air, he proceeded
to execute a hold-up of the most daring
character, Mr. E. II. Wescott being
covered with a revolver and compelled
to stand and deliver. It was a daring
and bold conception and caused the au
dience to gasp with astonishment for a
few moments. It is needless to say
that Mr. Austin was heartily applauded
and encored. Miss Kittie Cummins
who accompanied Mr. Austin on the
piono also came in for her share of the
applause as her work was executed
without a flaw.
The 6ong cycle "Arcadie" by Nevin
was superbly executed, the reading
parts being taken by Miss Marie Doug
las so well and favorably known in the
city as one of the best dramatic readers
in the state while Prof. Brooks took
the baritone musical part. The finest
musical sellection of the evening was
that of the ladies quartette consisting
of Misses Howard and Bates and Mes
dames H. E. Wescott and Morgan
They were aptly described by the audi
tors as splendid.
After the program had been finished
there was an elegant luncheon served
The reception was given in honor of the
teachers of the public schools who were
all present with the exception of three
detained by unavoidable causes. The
occasion was really one of the most de
lightful in the history of the city.
Senior Class Entertains.
From Saturday's Daily-
One of the most unique paities ever
given in the city was that given last
night by the Senior class of the high
school. There was a very large attend
ance, the entire class being present
and a number of teachers from abroad
lending their presence to the occasion.
The class had secured the vacant house
on Ninth street, formerly occupied by
L. Barton for the scen of the
festivities and had fitted it up for a
genuine good time.
The party typified things as they
would appear one hundred years hence
and there were many very startling
things present, including witches,
ghosts, and fortune tellers. The class
saw a lot of the future that didn't
strike them as so pleasant as it might
:. Taken all through the party was
a grand success. The attendance was
very large as stated above and every
one had a most delightful time. For
the information of the public it may be
stated there was a scene of real fire
and some kind of imaginary imps which
did a lot.
A sumptuous luncheon was served
which all heartily enjoyed, the star
feature of the feast being a great for
tune cake which all participated in and
which brought nothing but good for
tune to the partakers.
Those who were present included the
following members of the class: Misses
Helen Jess, Ethelyn Bentley, Ida
Johnson, Ellen Pollock, Muriel Mullis,
Alice Root, Nannie Monroe, Grace Dal
ton, Mina Thierolf, Anna Kopia, Marie
Hiber, Nettie Jirousek, Helen Kline,
Ethel Leyda, Marie Sookmeyer, Jen
nie Johnson, Josephine Hall, Clara
Wohlfarth, Mabel Kiser, Marie Fitz
gerald, Will Shopp, Carl Smith, Francis
Whelan, John Heinrich, Clarence
Staats, Clarence Beal. The post grad
uates who attended were Misses Clara
Weyrich, Charlotte Fetzer, and Earl
Hassler. The teachers who graced the
occasion with their attendance were
Misses Coon, Nichols, Mathews, How
ard, Wirt, of Council Bluffs, la., and
Darling of Omaha. Supt. Gamble and
wife and Prof. Brooks were also in at
tendance upon what everyone concedes
to be the finest and most unique enter
tainment of the kind ever given in the
city.
