Tnlbott's l < 'lrst Hearing.
The preliminary hearing of W. P. Talbott
'or forgery was hold beioro Judge Ayles-
worth yesterday afternoon. Colonel Daily
conducted the prosecution and Mr. Wharton ,
of Holmes & Wharton , of Omaha , appeared
'or the defendant. Three witnesses were
examined in behalf of the state , C. P. Bent-
oy , bookkeeper for D. C. Dunbar & Co. ,
Marshall Gunnolla and S. P. Sargent , of
Sargent & Evans. It seems that Talbott en
tered the employ of Dunbnr & Co. about the
first of March nnd was engaged in canvass
ing this city for a new directory. Ho be
came short of funds and issued n check of
* 10 on the firm for which ho was nt work.
He passed it at the Sargent & Evans' shoo
store in payment for a pair of shoos for his
wife nnd received the change. The check
was drawn on the Omaha National bank , nnd
was protested when presented for payment.
The prisoner's counsel asked the court to llx
the bail for his client's appearance before
the district court at a low enough figure so
that it would not necessitate keeping the de
fendant locked up in Jail for the next three
months. Colonel Daily suggested that the
bond bo fixed at $1,000 , but after n llttlo dis
cussion the court placed it at 8600. The
prisoner was taken back to the county jail
but an effort will bo made by his wife und
friends to obtain the necessary amount.
Mr. Dunbar la making arrangements for a
careful ro-canvass of the city so that the
directory will not bo in any way impaired by
any noglccton Talbott's part. Ho proposes
having the now directory accurate and com'
pletc , and in view of the revelation of Tal
bott's career l/ro ) , will not depend upon the
data gathered by him.
Tlio Hoard Still Ijooked.
The school board met last evening. Bui
one member , Mr. Rain , was absent , and con
sequcntly no attempt was made to break th <
dead-lock In regard to the plans for the
$10,000 building. Architect Maxon has al
tcrcd the plans originally presented by hlu
in competition , and has also presented a nov
plan , so that there are arc now three plans ir
by him. It remains for the board to deter
inIno whether competitors , after the plane
orb presented in accordance- with advcrtisci
request , can go on changing their plans am
filing now ones. Another meeting Is to b <
held this evening , nnd if a full board ia pros
cut some action will probably bo taken.
At the meeting last night the action of Presl
dent Atkins in stopping work on High Schoo
avenue was approved. The cutting down ol
that street was deemed by the board danger
ous to the Hill sctiool building , and it was dc
elded to have the board confer with the citj
council iu regard to it. .
Robbed Wliilo Drunk.
Jeff Green had n hearing before Judgi
Aylesworth yesterday afternoon for the lar
ceny of some money from "Slim Jim" Kings
ley , The evidence showed that the pros
cuting witness was very drunk at the time o
the alleged robbery , and was unable to gh'i
any account of the affair. The court con
sidcrcd this evidence rather light , but though
that three months in Jail would not hurt tli
defendant , and bound him over to the gram
Jury In the sum of (300. Kmgsloy promise. .
to kcnp sober until the meeting of the gram
Jury , und the Judge allowed him to go on hi
own recognizance , but instructed the mar
shnl to lock him up If ho found him incllnci
to break his promise.
Iolnts oftlio Court.
In the district court yesterday there wa
little to bo done. The case which was t
have been tried , und which It was expcctc-
would occupy the whole dayt was reported t
bo in process of settlement , and as Judg
Carson remarked , "It Is always better to set
tie than to try a case. " The bottom fullin
out of the day's asslgnmont , there was not *
Jug else to do , beyond a few motions , and a
early adjournment was had until this morr

Piping off the Park.
During the past winter the water pipes in
Jayless park burst In many places and to
inch an extent was the damage done that a
: omplctc overhauling was necessary. The
vork of repairing has been In progress dur-
ng the past two days atid several moro days
vill bo required to complete It. H would
com that this Is the golden opportunity tor
urthcr beautifying this popular resort , or
rather protecting the beauty it already pos-
, csscs. During all seasons of the year , per-
ions desiring to cross from Miller avenue to
.ho Baptist church corner , save steps and
ime by going directly across the park. The
csultisthat the green sward Is cut up by
vnlks running In all directions. It would
com to bo good judgment and economy on
he part of the park commissioners If they
vould have sufllcleut walks put down to pro-
cct this property from spoliation. This is
me of the most beautiful of the many nt-
rnctive spots in the city nnd any reasonable
xpenditure to protect It will bo gladly sane-
'oncd by the people at large.

The Fruit Season.
O. W. Butts , the well known fruit man ,
returned yesterday from California , where
10 has been looking after the trade. He Is
very enthusiastic over the season's outlook.
Ho considers California the great national
fruit farm , nnd knows from experience that
his Is one of the best points for the sale nnd
distribution of a large portion of the fruit
there raised. Ho has arranged for u largely
increased trade this year , for ho has prac
tically an unlimited supply from which to
draw. Matters of transportation are being
arranged so as to give greater advantages in
in the handling of this fruit , and a larger
territory will bo supplied from hero than
over before , nndnioro satisfactorily supplied.
Mr. Butts is energetic as well as thoroughly
experienced , nnd being the agent for the
fruit union , he is In condition to handle the
trade to the best possible advantage.
The New Police Force.
Thp resignations of the members of the
police force came in thick nnd fast yesterday ,
n accordance with the expressed wish of the
mayor. The head ofllcial of the city yester
day informed a BEE reporter that it would
probably bo some time before ho would make
appointments to fill vacancies. In regard to
what these appointments would bo ho de
clined to talk , giving as a reason his desire
that the present force should continue ef
ficient , whereas if they were sure of being
"left" when the new force was appointed it
would tend to make them careless. Ho said
that as yet no ono has any intimation of the
result of his appointments , cither members
of the old force or appointees themselves. Ho
predicts a surprise party for many of the
"knowing ones" that will provo a complete
ono.
SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
A. New Enterprise Spoiled.
Alex Winters came west to grow up with
the country , and ho was growing a little too
fast , yesterday he was languishing in the city
jail , in order to give the country a clianco to
catch un. His first venture was running a
lifbh counter in Bohncr's saloon , and when
they gave him notice to quit ho sol'da half
interest in the notice for $200. Of course
ho told his purchaser ( who was a
German school master named John Busch )
that ho conld stay there as long as ho liked
but when the two of them were bounced the
day after the sale , ho advised
him to go somewhere- else , ns he
couldn't earn n living at washing
dishes. BuHCh did not go , und Winters then
swore out a warrant charging nim with steal
ing $00 , but the charge was not proved nnd
Busch regained his liberty. Ho in turn
swore out a warrant against Winters for
fraud , and Alex was run in. Ho first got
Charles Singer to go on his bonu ,
but within nn hour that
gentleman heard something that
made him withdraw , and his pluco was taken
by James Hayes. Within two hours Hayes
asked to bo excused , and at midnight Justice
Levy and Rosalie Levy went on the bond.
This let Winters out for a time , but ho in
cautiously announced that it was his inten
tion to skip the town before daylight and
was overheard by a creditor , who at once
presented a bill for 130. Ho was told to em
igrate to a much warmer climate , and for
satisfaction awoke Judge Reuthcr and
told him that a prisoner was about to escape
from Justice. Winters was found with attor
ney Lane and his bondsman , nnd after some
legal quibbles , was again arrestod. If the
charge , is proved , it means penitentiary. His
hail was raised to f 10,000 , und ho hasn't raised
it yet.
Tlioso Saloons.
*
Now that the council have met and had a
quiet talk on the subject , it may bo ns well
to tell the saloon msn what is going to hap
pen to them. Tnoy will bo allowed a license
at the old (500 rate , and the first payment
will bo $125. At the same time they will bo
duly notified that the next payment will
be | 375 , for they will bo
called upon to pay the balance
of the year's license In ono payment , just as
the BUB said they would. They won't bo
charged any occupation tax , although it was
suggested that they should put up another
(100 , but they will be expected to close sharp
at 12 o'clock , and in some other ways live uj
to the Slocumb law. Their petition will bo
carefully examined , and their bondsmen musl
bo gilt-edged , but oiherwiso things will run
as before.

DUNN WANTED A PASS.
For some time past the Union Pacific offi
cials have been trying to detect a couple of
pass fiends who in their anxiety to work the
road for free transportation went so far as to
commit forgery , nnd their efforts have been
successful , although the would-be dead
heads escaped. The forger gave his numo
ns John Dunn , assistant to General Manager
Jeffrey , of the Illinois Central , and wrote
Mr. Kimball on March 27 , signing himself as
above stated. The letter stated that the
writer was contemplating n trip to Munitoti
Springs , and would call upon Mr. Keller , the
general ngcnt , for Mr. Kunball's reply. The
request was for a puss for Caleb Dunn to
Kansas City from Denver , nnd ono for Will
iam Jeffrey from Denver to Omaha. Mr.
Kimball was too old a bird to be caught by
