Omntin Jewelers Should lie on Tliolr
CSiinrd ,
John liatimcr , the well known jeweler ,
ccelved a loiter yesterday from the score-
ary of the Jewelers' Security alliance of
ho United States , which stated that
, 'inkcrton's Detective agency had given
he alliance- warning that a gang of burg-
ars had planned to swoop down upon a
argo jewelry store in this city and se
cure a largo haul ot valuables. 'J ho lot-
: er does not stale the details of the plan ,
liow it was discovered , or what store waste
to be robbed. Hut the warning should
put Omaha jewelers on their guard. It
is well known that a gang of safe-blow
ers ami cracksmen are operating in thh
city. The police are on their trail , and
some of them may bo behind Iho bar be
fore many hours.

Caplaiu (5. ( M. Uailoy , of the railway
mail service between Omaha and North
Platte , has been released from the ser
vice , with no other explanation than that
ho was no longer required. lie has not
been charged with any ollenco and it is
not thought that he has been dismissed
because ( if political motives. It is
thought that he has been released be
cause of a fear on the n.'irt of Chief ClcrK
GriHin'.s friends that the latter might bo
succeeded by Captain Uailoy. Captain
Bailey has boon in the government employ
for twenty-six years , nineteen of winch
were in the railway mail service. He
was the first man to ouon a pouch west of
the Missouri river , and when the first fast
mail was run between Chicago and
Omaha , ho was one of the .six men selected
to run it. It is not likely that the captain
will seek any more government positions
because hi ; considers ho lias wasted
almost tins best part of his life in its un-
remunerative and unthankful service.

cious imprisonment were hoard yesterday
afternoon in Judge Novillo's court.
Judge Wakcley is hearing the case of
Birmingham vs. Stone.
JJy the end of this week an interesting
case will bo argued in this court , the
testimony of which has already been
heaul in Sarpy county by Judge Wakcley.
It is that of Tex vs. Pllug , the former of
whom , twenty years ago , by mistake
went beyond tlio line of Ins laud and un
intentionally , yet , according to his best
kno fledge , enclosed some land of the
defendant. He has remained in undis
puted possession of the ground until re
cently , and Iho question now to bo do
torniine.d is as to whether this long pos
session by mistake is equivalent to pro
prietorship. C. S. Haldwin appear * for
Tex and Judge Doane for I'tlug.
An Eight-Wheeler.
Yesterday morning an eight wheel drive
engine , 1,2270 , was fired up at the shops
and sent out to its regular work at

She is intended for the hcnvy grade work

ai the next session of the legislature to
provide for a census of the old soldiers of
this state. The members of the G. A. K.

forward the matter.

"I am afraid that tobogganing in
Omaha is not going to prove a great suc
cess , " said ugontlomen yesterday. "The
weather hero is so variable that it cannot
bo depended upon to keep the slide in any
thing like good condition. However , the
sport is worth a fair trial. While it may
not be carried out as successfully as iii

A physician in this city , whoso name
need not b mentioned , has within the
past month received letters from two
different persons in Iowa towns , widely
remote , in which inquiry was made as to
whether there was not some chemical by
which a letter could bo opened and
nastcd together again without leaving
any traces. After replying to each of the
inquirers that the range of his knowledge
did not comprehend any such chemical ,
the physician made inquiries , by letters ,
of persons living in the same towns ,
and found that both men
were newly appointed postmasters.
Tliey were evidently preparing to mas
ter their business in all its branches and
wore studying to find some method by
which they could purloin an occasional
letter of a $3 or $10 note without being
detected.
A smooth and suceesful robbery was per
pclratcd early yesterday morning , about I
or 2 o'clock , on two young bloods who
wore in a saloon on Ninth street , which
is hedged in between two houses of ill-
repute. The v. b's had been out for a
good time , ana by the time they readied
i ho saloon aforesaid , were slightly in
toxicated. Moth of them wore
handsome diamond scraf pins , which
sparkled rcsplendantly from a back
ground of gaily colored silk. They were
approached by a stranger , who , all'octing
to bo drunk , flung himself first upon ono
of the young men and then upon the
other with the maudlin remark : "Hie
elegant suit o' does you got there hie
chv" He then staggered out of the door.
A few moments later tlio two young in on
found that rhey were minus their scarf-
pins. The drunken stranger had , it was
plain to see , "nipped" them.
"I'd rather bo a ditch digger than a
petty matinee thief , " said an irate gen
tleman after the play Saturday afternoon ,
"I forgot my umbrella in the theater a
minute ago , rushed through the crowd to
got it , and found that it had been taken
away. Everybody in the seals near mo
wore Jadies , with ono exception , and he
was a slick looking fraud whoso brain
newer was betokened in the smirks ho
lavished on the ladies beside him. He's
the follow who took my umbrella , and if
1 see him again I'll let him know who I
am. The handle was engraved with my
initials. If the fellow were not a thief ho
would have left the umbrella at the box

Atlanta Constitution : "Maxtor's boys
are a hard sot. "
This -remark was made to mo when
old man Maxtor was pointed out to mo
for the first timo. Everybody
had a good word for the father , but it
was the unanimous verdict that the boys
wore lit only for the penitentiary and the
ga Hows.
Of course I jumped to the conclusion
that old man Haxtcr'.s hair was prema
turely gray , and that the numerous lines
graven deep into his face were stamped
there by sorrow and care. As 1 began
to know him better , his tender heart , his
unfailing patience nnd ills' sunny temper
drew me to him , and I often found my
self thinking bitterly and resentfully of
his wicked boys.
Out of consideration for the old man I
carefully avoided family topics , but one
Sunday when J stopped to chat with him
in front of Ins cottage , ho suddenly re
marked :
" 1 got a letter from Tom this morn
ing. "
"Tom ? " I repeated inquiringly.
"Yes ; ono of my boys , was the reply ;
"but you arc a newcomer here , so 01
course you never mot Tom. "
"No , " t answered in some embarrass
ment , "I hope ho is well. "
' Well enough , but in trouble , " said
Maxtor with a sign. "I tell you the way
that boy has been imposed upon is a
shame. Ho has lias a run of bad luck all
his life. You know they charged him
with forging a chock and riming oil' from
here ! "
1 told hini'tliat I had understood that
there was some trouble.
"Yes , sir ; it is a fact , " continued my
companion indignantly. "And although
I raised thc'inoney and settled the chock
matter , they actually indicted the lad , and
lie had to luave Ho first went to Texas ,
but there were some hatl followed out
there who wanted to got rid of him , and
so they charged him with stealing a
horso. 1 don't remember all the facts.
but of course I know that he didn't intend
to steal the animal. However , they had
it their own way , and ho had to got.
Well , wben ho left there he went to the
Indian territory , and now lie writes mo
that he's hiding out from the United
States marshals. Somebody's been im
posing upon him again , 1 reckon. "
Wishing to change the conversation I
said something about taking a walk for
my health.
' 'That was Jim's idea , " sml Mr. Max
tor , with a pleased smile. "Jim's another
son of mine , " ho exclaimed. "You've
heard of Jim ? "
I admitted that I had hoard of him , but
I did not think it necessary to add that I
had been told that ho was a cold-blooded ,
murderous cut-throat.
"You ought to have Jim hero to walk
with you. Hut , lord bless you , Jim
wouldn't get along with these people.
They were always after him. "
"Imposing on him ? " 1 suggested.
"Yes , just so. Now Jim was a little
liow-come-you-so one day , and a bar
keeper retuscd to sell him a drink. It
was tlio meanest thing that a man could
do under the. circumstances , because the
man might have known that Jim was
bound to have his way. Well , Jim , he
just pulled out his pistol and shot that
barkeeper dead in his tracks , and helped
himself to a drink. 1 advised the people
not to make any tuss over it , as they all
knew Jim and his peculiarities , but tlio
devil got into them , and nothing would
do but an inquest , and all that sort of
thing. So I mortgaged my house and
lot my boy Imvo ovcral hundred dollars
and lie went off out west. "
"Is ho getting along well ? " I asked.
"I'm airaid not. People don't under
stand Jim. They don't make allowances.
He's as kind-hearted as a baby , but ho
won't bo imposed upon. Once out in
Now Mexico Jim borrowed a man V tooth
brush and when ho returned it to him ,
what do you think tlio fellow did ? Why ,
ho actually throw it away. Yes , ho did ;
ho throw it away. Jim was in for peace ,
but he couldn't stand that. Ho drew his
pistol and blow daylight through the
man , and then ho had to move again. I
think he's gone to join Joe. Ever hear of
JooV"
1 mumbled something non-committal.
"You ought to know .loo. lie's as
kind-hearted as Jim , and as honest and
true hearted as Tom , Hut Joe's forget
ful. That's the great drawback with
Joo. "
"Forgetful ? " said 1.
"Yes , that's what's the matter with
Joo. People don't understand it , and so
they've got him indicted in live slates
for bigamy. "
"What has his forgetfulness to do with
that ? " I asked.
"Why , sir , a great deal. You sen , Joe
travels a heap. Among now scenes'and
now acquaintances ho torgcts things.
After being away from a wife several
months ho forgets all about being mar
ried and so ho gets into a now entangle
ment. Instead of making allowances for
him people get fighting mad , and indict
him lor bigamy and nearly worry the
life out of him. It'.s a mighty wicked
world , anyhow. "
"You luivtt three boys , then ? " said I ,
preparing to walk on.
"Four , sir , four , " replied the old man
briskly. "There's Jerry , you know.
Jerry , I think , is the bet ono of all.
lie's in the Penitentiary now at Albany ,
but 1 think he'll bo pardoned out. They
can't be cruel enough to keep him there ,
The fact is , ho didn't do anything but
kill a revenueoilleor , and everybody
knows that ho wouldn't have done it if
tlio otlleer hadn't been monkeying
nround his still , Oh , I think he'll get out
soon. "
I started to continue my walk , but old
man Maxtor held mo back.
"You must drop in again1 ho said ,
' It's such a comfort to mo to talk about
my boys. They are Iho best ami most
aflbctlonato sons a father ever had , You
don't know how I lovu them , It is all
that Keeps mo nlivo. Xow , if I had bad
iimlutiful boys , such as some fathers are
cursed with. I bidiovo it would kill mo.
Hut it worries me'to have the boys im
posed upon by everybody. That's my
only trouble. "
I tore myself away. Perhaps it is a
blessed thin. ? that old man Maxtor can
not see his b'bys as others seO them , Per
haps , after all , his sons have EOIUO spark
of goodness in them.
