A snmll. dried up , Gcrmnn emigrant
giving Ills name as Matthias Survatiua
was sitting in tlio contra ! police station
yesterday , his oyus disconsolately
jixcd upon thu lloor. Ho was there to ap
pear as accusing witness ajrainst John
Thompson , a Missouri Pact lie train boy ,
who , ns ho clnims robbiMl him of$10 on
thn train last night.
From the story told by Sorvatlus to a
reporter for the linn , it appears that ho
is traveling with his wife and four small
children from Green county , Kansas , to
Itock Island , III. Thursday shortly Lbo-
lore tlio Missouri Pacific train ranched
Onmhn he WMS approached by the train
boy Thompson , who asked him to change
a $ JO bill. He refused at first , hut finally
consented to do so. Thompson jerked tlio
pocket book from his hand , and insisted
on counting over the money himself. Ho
made the change , as Scrvatius sun-
posed , correctly , and returned thu
pocketbook. Mhnr.sday Sorvatius re
mained with his family in tiie illulVrf , and
was preparing to leave yesterday on
the castbound train , when ho suddenly
took n notion to count his money , and in
doing so discovered that ho was * 10 short
IIu returned to Omaha and laid his case'
before Olliccr Dull" Green , tolling him
that in all probability tlio train boy had
committed the theft. Green at once
hunted up Thompson , and discovered
him lounging near the depot. He in
formed the young man that the Gorman
had accused him of stealing $10 from
him.
"It'aad lie" roared Thompson , "I
only took $20. "
"No , sir , yon took 10" replied the
oillccr ( irmly.
"Well , show mo the man and I'll give
him back his ? 40 , " said thu young man
weakening. But neither Green nor Ser-
vatius were so easily satisliod and
Thompson was taken up to jail where a
charge of grand larceny was booked
ngainst him.
Ho returned the money , and was giv
en thirty day's in Jail.
In conversation with a reporter to-day ,
Thompson denied haying stolen the Ger
man's money. When a cjucry was put to
him "why did you offer to return the $10
if you ha'd not stolen it ? " lie sullenly.re
plied "I'd 'a given him $1-10 rather than
be locked up in jail. "

Thursday four voting men named
Willis anil William Grant , William
Burnley and Hoiiry Minor arrived
in the city from Stella , Nob. They were
on their way to Wallace , Montana , where
the wife of ono of them , Win. Grant ,
had preceded him. They remained in
the city and took in the sights , each
pending a little money m drink , and
trying to lind enjoyment among now ac
quaintances. About 11 o'clock each had
made up his mind as to where ho was
going to" stop for the night ,
and started in that direction. Before the
parting occurred , however , Willis Grant
took Miner aside and gave him $90 ,
which lie said ho wanlccl the latter to
keep for him until morning. ITo was go
ing to spend the night where it might not
bo safe to carry so much money. Minor
accepted the trust , put the wallet con
taining tlio money in his pocket , and then
all went different ways. They had left
their trunks at the depot , and agreed to
_ incet there yesterday and continue ! on
their journey. They did meet , but Miner
presented a cut lip the blood from which
was yet upon his mustache. Tlio pocketbook -
book lip hud accepted in trust was gone ,
and with it Grant's $ ! ) ( ) . This morning
ho woke up in the city fail and was brought
before Judge .Stonborg , by whom ho was
discharged. Upon being dismissed , ho
was handed an envelope. Opening it.
was found a jack knife. That was all
ho had on his person when
ho was arrested by OlHeer Hayes.
From the time of his waking until the
time of his leaving Grant , ho has recol
lection of ono event and that was being
nluggcd from behind and in trout by a
couple of colored men. Ho .supposes
they took his money and got oil' with it ,
but ho coulu not identify them , neither
can ho toll where the slugging occurred.
Olllcer Ilu/o found him in an insensible
condition and took him to the jail.
"It's just my luck , " said one of the
Grants to a Uir. : man yesterday after
noon. "I started to go west three years
nco and my wito ran away with another
follow and took nil my money. Last , year
I got ready , to go but tlio follow who
owed mo the required money skipped out
\ und left mo in the lurch. This tiimi I
: thought I would got away sure , and here
I am without n cent the first day out.
Some people are born unlucky any way ,
I guess , "
Ono of the Grants returned to Stella
last evening to procure funds to enable
ihem to proceed on their journey west-

\ Strange Marriuco InVlilcli a
JHotlier'a OlUccciou is lls-
regarded.
They have known cacli other for some
time , and during a considerable part of
' that time they have been in love During
n lessor period of their acquaintance
they have fondly and mysteriously whis
pered to themselves and friends that they
\yoroongaged. Ami now , th eemphatlo
nnnoucomont must ba undo to the
Id1"- \yorld that they are man ami wife.
The lady in the case lives in what might
bo termed thn Sherman Ave , , division.
She is about twenty years of ago , pretty ,
intelligent , rellneu and popular. Ho
well , lie satisfied tlio lady's ideal , even if
ho could not n discriminating critic or a
most fastidious mother.
" The attachment uul courtship of this
couple have not boon attended wun all
tie | pleasure peculiar to Mich undertak
ings. There has been n dissatisfied
mother of the inamorata , wlio had
Violently opposed her daughter's do-
eotlon to the young man. As
the courtship became more and more ar-
lent , the unther more and more ondcav-
pied to discourage the daughter , but
without much success. The opposition
llnnlly became so persistent and energet
ic that the young man's calls at the house
wore less frequent , though his meetings
, with the Iti'dyclE'Jwliero wore correspond-
i Jiictv increased. Tlio motlrcr's hostility
to his union with her daughter had never
baon expressed by her to tlio
young man , ( hongh ho was con
siderately admonished of it by
the daughter. So far from oclranginjj
the young folks , the maternal aversion
. rather iutusUlod their devotion. From
' tlnio"to time social parties were given at
the lady's house , and on thc.su occasions
only would the young .man IIKIKU his ap-
' Bpnranco ami-then on invitation of Ills
Jove.
' .Twoweeks' : ago the pair determined to
bring the matter to a close by getting
married , and last Monday night was to
witness the happy event.
A few friends who had been made
aware of the young folks' 'relations , and
who synintn/.od ) ! witli them in their
trouble , wore invited to the house at
7:80 : o clock , to enable the groom-
expectant to make his appearance with
out danger of being confronted by tlio
mother. All assembled , and suddenly
the young man proposed that a theatre-
party be formed and attend Manager
IJoyd'fl benefit at the opera house. Only
ono lady agreed to the proposal , by pre
concerted arrangement , ami she and the
young man and the bride-intending left
the homo ostensibly for tlu theatre.
Instead , however , they went to a justice
of tlio peace and the two latter
wcro married. Thov wanted to got
married by n clergyman , but they know
that that would lead to disclosures , and
decided to defer the ministerial ceremony
until the consent of tlio mother .should
1)0 ) secured. The party then returned
home , and the marriage was formally
announced to the mother , who im
mediately left the parlor anil could not
again be induced tore-enter. The friends
wfio had assembled to reason with and
induce her to accept the situation could
therefore accomplish nothing. Groom
and bride are still living apart , and the
mother assorts that she will never recog
nize the marriage.
IlUIiTALiO IJIliI/.S ttONANZA.
The Now W lid Wojt Hucli as Ho Is Now
KvhlldtiiiK in St. Ioiil.s.
George Canlicld and George Guy
have returned from St. Louis ,
whore they attended tlio Initial perform
ance of Unllulo Hill's Wild West. They
report that the show never was given to
a. more appreciative audience. Tlio at
tendance applauded with tlio greatest en
thusiasm , and it was an attendance which
could applaud because it consisted of 40- ,
000 people. The night audience num
bered 5,000 people , which was not less
demonstrative. Since that day perform
ances have been given both in the after
noon and evening with grand success.
Further proof of tlio fact that the Wild
West has been doing oxcdllontly in St.
Louis may be found in tlio foljowing ex
tract from a half column descriptive arti
cle from the Republican of that city :
There wore Si. OOO people at tlio Fair
Grounds yesterday. They turned out to
boo Bulliilo Bill's Wild West perform
ance , and they saw the grandest exhibit
of the exciting scones which character
ise the extreme Western plains and the
most complete representation of the in
habitants Indians , buffaloes and cowboy -
boy $ of that region that was over pre
sented hero. There wore thrilling feats
of cowboy daring , Indian cunning and
marksman's skill enacted as representa
tion of actual border occurrences. It was
an exhibit of the skill of several of the
most famous liyjng characters for traits
that border life in the states dovcJopcs.
But all this time tlio enthusiasm which
the big crowd was ready to manifest
when they thought the proper time had
come was pent up. and remained pent HP
until William F. Cody , upon -whom the
task ot making popular an exhibition of
Western life and western scenes was
made to rest , and who promises to make
such exhibitions lind favor , while lie is
loft to act his part in a skillful way.
When Mr. Cody rode up in front of whore
Gen. Sherman and wife were seated the
general rose and bowed to his old ac
quaintance and friend.
One of the most catching features of
the performance was the exhibition of
graceful and skillful handling of the rifle
and revolver by a California girl , Miss
Lillian Smith. She seldom missed a ball
that was thrown , and the shooting was
no less wonderful for accuracy than
rapidity , and no more pleasing than
either than for the magic ease and grace
with which it was done. Another pretty
exhibition of rilio shooting was made by
Miss Anuio'Oakloy , in which she repeat
edly broke two balls thrown at the same
time , broke balls that wcro thrown be
fore she had picked up her gun' , and
after the ball was thrown turned around
and broke it.
Tlio report then enumerates a number
of the excellent features of the show , and
concludes :
Among other pleasing features of the
performance was an exhibition of horse
manship and marksmanship by Buffalo
Bill , exhibitions with the rope , jumping
by the champion cowboy jumper , in
which ho leaps over a horse 10 } hands
high , and the Indian war dance.
GOOD AVOUK.
A Monthly Report of the "Woman's
Christian Association.
During the month of April the work
in the home was loss than usual , although
at one time thcie wcro eighteen women
and children. Over twenty-live during
the month have boon m the home , work
found for some , and others sent on
their way ; none remained more than a
few days , some only a night ,
Four lost children have been brought to
us and cared for until their parents came
for them.
A mother with four small children
came from Scotland and failed to meet
her husband on the day planned and she
remained a few days only when her hus
band was found. Another woman and
child remained but ono night when her
husband was found for her and all taken
from the homo. Could the people of this
city realize how much this association
needs a larger home , I am sure a lot
would soon bo found and tlio building
erected. So many ladies traveling wither
or without children prefer coming to
Homo than going to a hotel.
Alter wo are asked to take children
from homes of sin and wickedness and
train them for lives of usefulness ; but
our hands are tied ; wo have no homo-
no room for them.
Donations wore received during the
month , as follows :
Children's clothing MM. Crolgh , Mrs.
Bounor ; clothing from .Mrs. Hartman
and Mrs. McCarthy ; provibions , Mrs. Dr.

"Italian John. "
The sight of an Italian truit yonder , on
his knees in the mud praying to a police
olllcor to release him , was the attraction
which brought together a crowd of men
and boys near the county jail yesterday
The "dago" was Italian John ,
otherwise known as John Mauua , who
had been arrested as a lunatic by the po-
llco. UpDii examination yesterday
Judge Stonborg thought him a worthy
subject for the insuno asylum , and com
mitted him to the 'county jail to await
examination by the insanity board. On
the way up John fell to praying , and
dropping on his knees delivered Inmsolt
of earnest supplications for his liberty.
But the ollleer was obdurate , and turned ,
him over to Jailor Joe Miller.
Thu Italian was confined once before
for insanity , but was released. Ho has
had \n\\i \ \ stawl near the corner of Fif-
tooutli andFmuuuUu'H''oiu his queer and

A DETEOTIIE'S BTO11V.
Tracing a Gone of Counterfeiters A
Close Cnll.
"About the narrowest squeeze I ever
had In tlio course of my profession hap
pened to mo while tracing down a gang of
counterfeiters in Chicago two or three
years ago , " commenced a noted eastern
detective , who was In the city last week
on a visit , in answer to a reporter's re
quest for a "yarn. "
"This is what saved my life and repu
tation as well ns aiding In capturing my
men , " ho continued , handing the scribe
a peculiar looking contrivance resemb
ling a cigar case in some respects. "This
is a pocket telegraph sounder , and is
used quite extensively by members of tlio
secret service in warning each other
in case of danger or when neces
sary to Impart information.
"Sec , " pressing the sides and producing a
clicking sound , "it sounds like a tele
graph instrument in .1 distant room.
1 took a thorough course in telegraphy
when 1 was young and have found it of
great benefit to mo in my profession.
With this thing two of us who under
stand the system can carry on a conver
sation and never appear to know ono an
other. Getting impatient , are you ? Well ,
as my yarn hangs on my "secret ticker , "
I thought it best to describe its use before
elnlig the story.
"It was during just such weather as
this , " continued the detective "when I
wan summoned from an important
case in some southern town
to undertake the highly lucrative
( if successful ) case or ferreting
out tills band of criminals. They had
given the local authorities no little
trouble and tlio case was getting "cold"
when I took a hand. It is useless to
worry you with a tale of vexatious disau-
pointmeuts in getting their trail sulHcient
to say that at least 1 struck one that led
into interesting quarters , and amongja
set of criminals who were hard to handle.
To get conclusive evidence it was neces
sary for mo to visit a certain dive in an
unsavory quarter , and resort to some de
tective tactics not necessary to mention
now. I was disguised as a sport , and'I
tell you it made mo feel chilly when I
thought of the possibility of beingdiseov-
oral in my character , as I descended
into the room where the leaders ot
the counterfeiters' band wore wont to
congregate , for some of them know
me by name. 1 had carelessly
made no provision for. police
within call , not thinking I would corner
my men that night. I was soon mixed
up in some game , playing with a crowd
ol men , none ot whom would scruple at
taking human life , and among whom a
betrayal of my identity meant almost
certain death. In entering the room-1
had noticed something familiar in ( lie
appearance of one of the waiters , but
did not give it muoli thought , so deeply
engrossed was 1 with other things.
Plenty of whisky had been Mowing , and
the men wore getting hilarious. See
ing their condition , i thought it best
to depart , and had made steps toward
doing so , when a hand was laid on my
shoulder and a voice , ucrfectly steady ,
said : 'Hold on cully , don't ' bo so fast ! I
know you , please sit down. ' Turning , I
perceived a member O4f the company
until now slightly noticed oy mo , but
who , on closer inspection , proved to be a
noted and desperate criminal. I sat
down more from weakness than in com
pliance with his sarcastic request. Ho
arose and told the others who 1 was.
what I was , and what 1 wanted , and
wound up bv requesting a suggestion
ns to how I should be disnoscd of.
Throats of all kinds , were made ,
most of the men being in
favor of killing me on the spot.
" 1 sat thinking deeply when suddenly a
clicking sound startled me. I almost
jumped from my chair with joy. Ouo'of
our men was in the room in some disguise
and had recognized me and was now let
ting mo know of his presence. We kept
conversing until 1 learned that he was
the waiter whom I first failed to recog
nize. A plan was formed on the spot
that ho should slip out and raid the con
cern with the police. Well , in an hour
the entire gang was under lock and key ,
and wo had earned the heavy reward of
fered by the authorities , "iou can _ de
pend upon it that over since that episode
I have congratulated myself that I
understood telegraphy. "

William Mantel is the name of a gentle

Thursday morning. Thursday ho was
piched up dead drunk in an alley , with
all of his possessions missing except an
old jack-knife.
" 1 can give you the knife , judge , " said
William , scratching his head reflectively ,
as the judge asked him wliorowitli ho ex-
pooted to pay his fine for intoxication.
"No , sir ; that won't do , " replied Judge
S ton berg , as ho entered upon an order
for the man's release , "this court is not a

A Splendid Operation.
A reporter for the HBK was on Wed
nesday permitted to witness an interest
ing surgeon operation , performed at the
Omaha Medical & Surgical Institute , on
the corner of Thirteenth street and Capitol
tel avenue. It was nothing loss than the
removal of an ugly malignant tumor ,
covering nearly the entire lower jaw.
The patient , who was Rev. J. E. Mitchell ,
a Methodist clergyman of Gorinantown ,
Neb , was put under the influence of
chloroform , and then with a few quick
and skillful movements of the knife tlio
tti mor was removed.
The operation which required less than
twenty minutes was performed by Dr.
McMonamy , assisted by Drs. Coo and
Spalding. The patient is now resting
easily with every prospect of a rapid re
covery.
The operation was an essentially dan
gerous one , because the blood vessels of
the neck wcro involved , but was so well
performed that none but good results can
eomo from it. Mr. Mitchell is to bo con
gratulated on liavjng given his critical
cnso into such competent hands.

Nebraska's Claim Against the tiov-
criiiiicnt TotMllltla Services
Finally Allowed.
The third auditor of the treasury has
notified Attorney I' . O. Hawcs that the
claim of the state of Nebraska against
tlio government has boon allowed in the
sum of ? 18,081 , ( out of $27H ( ! , leaving a
balance suspended of $ 'J,50J. ' ! This claim
arises out ot a provision of an act of con
gress of Juno 37 , 1832 , providing for the
payment to the state of all moneys that
wore expended by the state in the sup
pression of Indian hostilities from April
HO , 1601 , to the data of the passage of the
bill , The claim is a voluminous docu
ment , containing 280 voucher * for the
claims in sums ranging from $5 to $1,1500.
These claims , as Is not generally known ,
are for the services of the militia , sup
plies finished the militia , transpor
tation of stores , etc. . while they were
driving back the Indians from the Hig
Hlue country in the fall of 1807 and 18W. (
The claims that arose and wore duo to
the state on account of the Indian loss in
1801 , and provided for under an act
passcil July 20 , 1808 , have all boon col
lected and paid.
In preparing this claim Mr. Ilawcs has
secured the evidence required by the war
department and tlio accounting ollices
of the treasury. About thirty of the
vouchers have been suspended for the
amounts claimed. Others have boon dis
allowed in part because the claimants
have charged a higher rate than thu gov
ernment was required to pay for tlio
same supplies in the bamo military de
partment.
The Tear ma n vouchers , claims tor
salary as major of militia , amounting to
about $3,000 , have all been disallowed.
