PROFESSIONALS.
People Who ArcAfflicMWilliaHania
to " HID"
A Prominent Merchant Interviewed
by the "llto" About Profes
sional Shop Lifters.
"Yon would bo most wonderfully sur-
prlicd , " said one of Omaha's prominent
dry goods men , to a reporter for the BEE ,
yesterday , "if I should toll you how
many people , and who they arc , that
have a mnnls , as they call It , for 'nip
ping' articles every tlrao they go Into a
store , and hiding them under tholr cloth-
Ing. Why , I'll stake my honor , "
ho continued , on the assertion
that there are no leas than ono hundred
professional shoplifters in the C\,800
population which goes to make up the
llto and soul of this town. No , they are
not all among the low , hard-up class
either. In fact a very largo majority of
them move along the upper circles and
have plenty of money. "
The merchant contended , when asked
why , that to prosecute and expose them
would bo very detrimental to his trade :
"I got pay for everything they steal , BO
what's the difference ? "
"Mako them pay double price for
what they buj ? "
"In some Instances , yea , but lot mo
glvo yon a pointer and clto a little case
that happened in my utoro only ono day
last week. "
"All right , fire away and talk slow. "
"Well , yon see , wo have got all these
people , or at least nearly all of them ,
spotted so closely that It Is impcsjlblo for
ono to coino to the store without our
knowing It and keeping an eye on her.
This particular caao was an elegantly
dressed woman. She was out shopping
In a handsome rig , with liveried driv
er nnd stylish hones suppescd
to bo her own. She came Into our stora
and went to the lace department. Reforo
going out I received a note from the lady
clerk who waited on nor , saying that she
had stolen several pairs of gloves and Bilk
hcso and was about to get away with
thorn. I called the woman Into my oflico
and nskcd her about It. At drat she
became very Indignant and threatened to
eond her husband down , who she know
would parolyza mo forolFerlng her
such an outrageous Insult ,
but I was not to bo frightened In that
manner , and when she found out that I
know she had the articles hidden about
her garments , and prbposod to satisfy her
that I knowby having her searched , eho
broke down completely and offered to
clvo mo $100 if I would let It pass and
never glvo her away. The woman buys
any amount of goods , is wealthy , and
has no excuse whatever for stealing , but
she said to mo then that she didn't
know why she took those gloves and hoto ;
that she had no use on earth for them ,
but couldn't help It. They wore worth
about SI.CO a pair but I charged her $5 ,
which she gladly paid and went away.
At another tlino a well known woman ,
whoso name I will not nuntion , came in
wearing a silk dress , the goods of which
we had missed and I know it. The next
day wo sent her a bill for the
dress , and yon can bet she paid for it
without caying a word. Numerous times
have wo missed gloves , hoes , bolts of rib
bon , handkerchiefs , etc. , eto , but wo
generally know who takes them and
when they came in the next Urns we re-
op self ally request pay for such articles
and the pay is always forthcoming. I
don't know how other merchants are
harraised In this business , but If the
shop-lifters were not known to us we
would soon bo stolen blind. "
It Is not probable that Omaha Is any
worse off In this rotpoct than other towns
bnt possibly Omaha has more of the
shop-lifting class than many places of Its
size. Many of the merchants complain ,
and why they don't cause some arrests to
bo made Is a little strange. An stated
above , no doubt they would to a certain
extent Injure their trade. It Is quite
noticeable also that when cornered and
brought Into close quarters nearly all of
the professional shop-lifters make the
same defense , as an excueo for tholr
crlmo , and that is , that it is a mania
they can't control and are not responsible
for.
for."What
"What kind of actions do they GO
through to get away with the goods ? "
was asked of the gentleman interviewed.
' . 'You would be amused , " ho said , "to
BOO them. While pretending to look at
goods they lean away over the counter ,
play the near-sighted racket , and got
down with their face almost against too
oauntcr. While In this , position it
Is easy enough to rake oft'with
ono hand anything laying near , and stuff ,
ing it under their cloak. It is noted that
thcsa kind of people always wear some
kind of a loose sacqno or cloak , hot or
cold weather.

Correspondence ot The BEE.
HUHTINOION , Ore. , July 7. No cele

Baker City , and was by all pronounced a
most eloquent and logical as well as happy
effort.
The rates , which had boon thoroughly

works which wore exhibited just a little
way from the building by Origler , Cum-
mlngs & Blanchsrd. At 10 o clock the
grand march wai played and the large
iloor , 50x200 feet , which had boon laid

brilliant company of 100 couploi of ladlce
and gentlemen , A very sumptuous anp-
per was served by the Pacific hotel com
pany , J. E. Clark , manigor. Dancing
was kept np till 5 a. m. All partici
pating In the celebration agree that it
was remarkably successful in every way ,
and whllo wo have had the name of beIng -
Ing a "hard town , " the fact that ) nothing
occurred on the Fontth to mar the
pleasure of any ono , or to break the
peace , should convlneo any ono that wo
do not deserve the namo.
List night thirty-one cars of stock won
east to Medicine Bow , thirty of them

olis of the Missouri Valley.
At Topeka , in pnrauanco to a previous
call , a number of roprojontatlvo gentlemen -
mon from the moro important towns
named along the proposed now line of
railroad , or Independent cutlet from
Wichita to Chicago , mot , and after a full
and free endorsement of all that had
ncrotoforo boon done , a corporation was
organized and the chatter filed for a now
and independent line of railway
from the Arkansas valley , start
ing at Wichita and running
via Peabody , Marlon Center , Abilene ,
Clay Canter and northward to a suitable
or the most direct and convenient con *
nectlon with the Burlington & Missouri
system or other Chicago lines at Beatrice ,
Lincoln or Omaha , oa the directors may
elect. V'iohlta was made or designated
aa the headquarters for the principal of
fices , and the following gentlemen snb-
tcrlbcd to the oath of the charier :
Peabody F. H. Kallock , banker.
Marlon A. M. Crane , banker , and S.
T. Howe , atato treasurer.

Blackwoldor , capitalist ; J. V. Moffot ,
merchant ; N. F. Nolderlauder , capitalist
and real estate , and Dr. 0. 0. Farley.
There traa much Important Information
and correspondence laid before the now
organllatlon by its members and by
other ; interested who wore present at
the mooting. The line Is viewed as not
only a feasible one by railroad men and
ono whose local traffic would be second
to no other now line In the atato , but
which , ai a connecting Huk between the
north and south eyatoma of Kansas and
Nebraska , and between Chicago and the
Arkaneas valley , would loom up into vast
Importance as to all the interests noted.
This means that the people of Kansas
want an outlet to bettor markets for their
jraln and stock than they have heretofore
an joyed and they know that Omaha will
furnish them that market. Omaha Is
paying much bettor prices to-day for cattle -
tlo and hogs than Kama ? City la paying.

Still n Mystery.
The murder of Mtsi Mary Baldwin , at
Atchlson , Ks , , last Thursday night , Is
still an unsolved mystery. No clue has
as yet been obtained ot the wretched
villain who committed the unwarranted
crime. All sorts of theories are ad-
vanced. Some oven suspect that the girl
committed suicide , bnt this theory ox.
plodca , when the fact that a panel was
cut out of the back door , Is taken into
consideration ,
The Omaha Exposition association hai
not , 0.9 yet , been able to make up Its list cf

liowever , that Maxey Cobb and Phallus , can
lie eecured and that eovoral other noted aoi-

CUT WITH A CUP.
Perney Powers the Victim of aViclons
Tramp's ' Venom ,
While Trying to Piotcot nn Innocent
nd Helpless Little Boy Ho Ito-
cclvcs A Fatal Wound ,
About 7 o'clock last evening , n boy ,
apuuontly 15 years of ago , covered with
blood and holding his hand over a great
gash in the loft ido of his neck from
which the crimson flowed freely , staggered -
gored Into Boll's drug store at 820 South
Touth street , fell over on the floor ex
hausted and almost dead. Dr , Darrow ,
who happened to bo thcro at the tlmo ,
and two other men , picked the sufferer
up nnd placed him on a cot In ono of the
back rooms. A hasty examination of the
wound showed it to bo a deep three cor
nered cut , about four Inches long , which
laid the llosh open until a man's Gngor
could bo admitted and severed ono of the
blood votsola , "Had ho have boon com
pelled to go half a block
further before getting assistance , "
said the doctor , " ho conld not have
made it. " Ho was then so far gene from
the loss of blood that doubts of his re
covery were expressed. The boy recov
ered , however , after the blood had boon
chocked , and ho got a little rest , snlli-
clontly to aay that his name was Forney
Powers , and that his homo was at the
corner of Seventh and Jones streets ,
where ho lives with his mother. Ho also
said that n man had hit him on
the nock with n cnp. The appear-
an co of the wound showed that
It had been made by some dull Instru
ment. A largo crowd of boys followed
the unfortunate lad and tholr story was
that an old tramp in the act of tstrlking
a little boy down by the rlvor bridge ,
waa given warning by Powers , not to do
It , whereupon the tramp throw a cup at
dim. This part of the story looks a little
fishy. Officers Sullivan and Whaland ,
made an investigation of the matter and
they express the opinion that the wound
ed boy , alao the chaps with him know
who committed the deed but don't want
to toll.
Powers' mother was cent for and look
iilm home.
Wntur TAkca n itntsc.
People who wont to Hanscom park
fostorday , in search of a little pleasure
and frcah air nndor the shade trees of that
resort , came back homo complaining bit
terly that the keeper there had taken the
landlo off of the pump , so that no ono
conld got water without going Into the
: ark hall and paying ten cents a glass for
t. If those complaints are well founded ,
and there Is no reason to doubt thorn aa
pot , ouch action must ba looked upon as
mtragcons , and that keeper will , In all
probability , bo naked to step ont. Some
say they offered to give five cants for a
'lass of water , but it was refused them
it that prlco.
Brought Buck.
Defective Emory returned Saturday
evening from Davenport , with David

Twus tlio Gat.
3an Francisco Post.
Lut Monday morning as a lot of up-
townors were waiting on the wharf for
the China eteanur to got in , old Prof.
Guffoy drove np in the office buggy and
solemnly lifted out an apparently noavily
weighed big , securely tied at the mouth.
"What have you got there , professor ? "
asked a friend.
"A cat fiend , " replied the professor ,
gravely.
"AcitDsh ? " repeated the crowd ,
"No , gentlemen ; I said a cat fiend , "
fxplained Gnfky. "That s ck contains
fonr cobblestones and a cat that has
made my life a buidon to mo for three
years. She steals everything in the
homo all day , and yells like a pirate
walking the gang plank on the back shod
all night. 1 vo made ono attempt after
another to ssiassinato the beast , bnt I
fallod ovtry limp. "
"You know that cats have nlno lives ,
professor ? "
"Ninol Nineteen times have I ijtrcii
that crcaturo poisoned meat. 1 throw
her off the roof tirlce , and I've shot at
her fonr times just tilled her plumb full
of quail shot , and the next day she's
lonud on schedule tlmo. Last week I
borrowed a $100 bull terrier to oat her
up , and she killed him In cloven BOO-
olio's , Why , I blow her clean Into the
next street with a dynamtto cartridge
yesterday , and I hope to die If she wasn't
on deck reaching for the canary this
morning without a hair singed. "
"Going to fix her this tlmo , ohl"
"You bet I am. " said Prof. Gnffoybm-
phatlcally. "I'm going to throw her off
Into forty foot of water , and If that don't
finish her , she's the devil himself. "
"Come , take a drink first , Gnffoy , "
said his friend BoRgc , nnd the crowd fol
lowed Into a saloon on the corner. Whllo
the bcor was being drawn Boggs slipped
qniotly back and untied the bag. As
soon as the Indestructible cat had skipped
up the street Bogus rolled the bag and
hurried back to the saloon. Pretty noon
the crowd emerged and helped Goffey to
carry his heavy load to the hxtromo otlgo
of the wharf , from which it was solemnly
dumped.
" 1 liato to kill even a cat , " Bain the
old professor sadly , "but the fact ii I
haven't had a square night's sleep in tire
years. "
Yesterday Boggs wai coming off the
ferrybcnt , when ho beheld the professor
coming on atop of a four-horse load of
furniture.
"Why , you are not moving , are you ,
Gnffej ? "
The professor moodily descended from
ils perch , aud drawing Boggs aside
whtlporcd huskily in his ear ;
"Yes , 1 atn , Boggs I'm moving over
; o Alamoda. That cat'a como back. "
WHV IT IS GOOD TO WALK.
ItAVIll BonclHYour Health and In-
crcAso Your BnviiiK" , Too.
"Thcro is no bettor exercise than rralk- '
Ing , " says a Chicago physician. "It la
manly to walk , and womanly ca well.
Walking btings Into nso nearly all the
muscles , and ttrcngtheiu and hardens
thorn. A slow , desultory walk is of small
benefit. The gut should bo brisk , with
the head up aud chest thrown forward
like a free American cltizjn. Take long ,
[ nil intpirations , opening up the unused
soils of the lungs , and filling them with
Iho fresh air. Tha pedestrians should
have nn objective point. Rambles
are unsatisfactory. A walk to work
In the early morn Is splendid
thing. A walk homo to supper In the
evening is equally good. Then you have
a motive and an object. An occasional
walk IB of little avail. You should make
your walking your habit. System Is a
rood thing In psdcstrlnnletn , as in ether
matters. Aa for distance that is optional
of course , bnt two miles ought to be no
task for the man who wants to improve
his health. The distance can bo in
creased as thn pedestrian begins to feel
lha benefit of walking. And when ono
makes walking his daily habit ho will bo
surprised at the ease with which ho can
aoon make his allotsd distance. It Is
only two miles from Union park to State
street , and why people nhould pay a street
car company five cents twlco n day to
carry them these two mlloo , when they
would bo better off in pocket and health
by walking , is moro than I can under
stand. It will take twenty minutes to
ride in , and as soon ao a man has got In
to the walking habit ho will easily walk
bho distance In thirty minutes or less.
The rldo saves only ten minutes and
coats five cents. That Is at the rate of
thirty cents an hour , or three dollars a
3ay for ton hours' work. A majority of
; ho people who patron'zo the West Side
company pay the company at the rate of
thirty cents an honr for carrying theme
: o their work , where they earn from fit-
icon to twenty-five cents an hour , If a
man makes it his habit to walk into town
and ont every day , and does so walk only
200 ont of the 300 working days ot the
/ear , ho saves $20. That will buy him
'onr pairs of good shoos , or a nlco suit of
ilothos , and In the long run ho will save
, hat much moro ovary year in doctor's
: illa and medicines. Walking Is a good
ixorclso for everybody , and especially for
, hose who are confined Indoor * all day.
Sunday In Vienna.
Sunday , Juno 14 , was the first Sunday
on which the new law came Into operation.
About fifty thousand poopla were freed
from labor in the city , and the majority
of thorn , with tholr wives nnd children ,
wont to the suburbs , whcra the beer
jardons were crowded. Railways , Iram-
vays nnd omnibuses reaped an nbundont
larvoat. All the telegraphic and news
agencies were closed. So also were the
editorial oilicea , and Vienna on Sunday
was for the first tlmo without Sunday af
ternoon papers. The nnw law was well
enforced , end the general feeling was ono
of satisfaction.
