ANOTHER SMALL BURGLARY HERE District Qjzirl Hoard of Trailo Pro- Ccctliims The Republicans Opcu tlio Campaign Item * In the Koitnil-Up 1'oi'HonaI. Tried Wntur on Him. Among the prisoners confined In tlio county Jail Is ono Ulo.ison , charged with tlio larceny ot Jewelry from the ottiibllsutnonl of Uobln- luson Dros. Ho Is it bltf fellow , anil it pluturo of perfect muscular development. He was the notorious "cell boss" In tlio Douglas county jail atthotlmoof "IJIjj Frank's" reign there a few months ago. After his Incarcera tion Imro ho behaved hluHolf for tt tlmo , but It was contrary to his disposition to IOHR sub mit to the rigid rules of Sheriff O'Neill's ' Jail discipline and he began to trot mu tinous. Ho reviled his follow prisoners for their obedience and licensed thorn of eow.mlleo In n vuln attempt to create an open rebellion. Those things came to the curs ol Sheriff O'Neill ' and ho promptly determined to im press upon Glcasou very forcibly that ho was not confined in Douglas county jail , mid hy dropathic treatment , was used upon the re fractory criminal with very good effect. When the hose was turned on him ho tried In vain to got away from it , as the terrible force of the water almost blistered him. Ho sought refuge In it cell , but the nozzle was thrust in through the grates , and after being two thirds drowned tlio ugly brute gave up and said ho bad enough. As the sheriff turned off the water ho coolly said , " .lust remem ber , Glcason , that I am not Joe Miller. " That was all there was of It and since then the notorious crook and dangerous thug has been as quiet and poaec.iblo us any ol the prisoners. This is the lirst case of insubor dination that Sheriff O'Neill has hau to con tend with in a year and a half. He Is not a tyrant but ho is a strict disciplinarian in every scnso of the word , and tlio nalutory effects of Iiis course may bo seen by a trip to the county jail. Perfect cleanliness , prompt compliance with the jail rules and implicit obedience are required. No scowling or sulking Is seen and the prisoners evidently respect the sheriff , with whom they are on the pleasantest terms , although no famil iarity is seen or tolerated. Sheriff O'Neill is a model jailor , and his work always shows for itself. The jail Is there and an inspec tion of it at any time will convince anyone of tills fact. OKKA.T SAL.B . aiaPTEMBEIl 12.

It was expected to transact some important business in connection with manufacturing enterprises which are desired to bo located here , .but this business could not bo attended to. Tun HKE has no deslro to dictate to or llml fault with the board unnecessarily. Hut the board was organized for specific work. It Is constituted of men whoso private busi ness demands their time and attention it is true , but having considered this matter In connection with the necessary worn of that organization , thcso men should give it and its meetings such attention as the business under its consideration requires. It may bo said that it Is unjust to ask a sacritlco of thno which should bo devoted to private matters. A connection with the organization tacitly imposes thcso duties , and it Is fair to presume the business men therein knew what these demands would bo before they identltlcd themselves with It. Having gone into It , they should not shirk their duty. Al ready one of the most energetic members has withdrawn , and others have declared they will do so if there Is not a moro hearty co-operation and attention to the incctincs.

How an Keillor Proposed to Mnko n Famous Man Moro FamouH. Some time ago while Mark Twain was taking a reminiscent lloat down the Mis- issippi river , the boat on which ho was omoarked was compelled ono night to "tio up' ' ' at Floy's Point , a villngo in Louisiana. The humorist had gene to bed , and had just sunk into ado/.o when there came a sharp rap at his slate-room door. Twain opened the door. Asquint- eyed follow , wearing n cheek shirt and rawhide boots , stepped into the room. "Is this Mark Twain ? " "Yes. I am known by that namo. " "Well , sir , I huvc borne mighty im portant business with you. " "Please state it. " "Kain't do it hero , but of you'll como with mo you'll soon find out * " "I don't care to go anywhere to-night except to bed , " Twain replied. "But I tell you this is important something that should bo attended teat at onco. You just come with mo n few minutes and I'll bo dinged if you over regret it" "I don't care to meet anyone. " "You won't have to meet any ono but mo. You inuy have had n trick played on you , but I toll you this is to your ad vantage. It won't take you ton minutes. Tlio only reason I want you to go with mo is that I may prove my good faith. " He continued with such strong irapor- tunity that Twain finally consented to go with him. The humorist was con ducted through a muddy strcol and down a dark alloy to a small wooden building. His conductor unlocked a door , entered a room and lighted a smoky lump. "Como right in an' set down. " The humorist looked around and dis covered that he was in a printing ollico , lilted up with a hand press and a few cases of typo. "Sot down. " Twain seated himself on o box. His conductor added : "You are now. sir , within the portals of the Weekly Progress , a paper that circulates extensively throughout the country , and of which I am tlio editor. I wanted to bring you hero to show you as convincln' proof of my standin' the tools and appliances of my honorable profession. I could , on the boat , luivo given the information thai I intended to deliver , but , suh , without these hero surroundin's of sincerityyou must have thought mo a fraud. Now , this is what 1 want to toll you Mr. Twain. I have hcarn of you , and I want to suy any thing you write that you want printed , w'y you bond it to J. Casper Mclntosh , and I'll bo blamed if I don't print it for you. Yes , I will , " ho added , mooting the humorist's attire of amazement. "Yes , I'll be dinged if I don't. You just go ahead now and write out a lot of your fool things , and I'll bo hanged if I don't publish 'em , I don't care a bhimo whut folks bay. Don't bo snatched , Mr. Twain , for I am a tolling of the truth. I'll publish your articles. Well , of yo must go , good night. When you got down thar to the corner of the fence turn to the right , if you don't want to got dog bit. " Katlier Unexpected. Savannah News : ' ! would like to speak to you a moment privately , Mr. Moneybags , if you are not too busy. " "Certainly. Mr. Penwiper , I am a lit tle busy , but I can hear what you have to say. ' Well , what is it ? " "I expect to got married , shortly , sir " ( Brief Bilonce , during which ho won dered whether the expected increase of salory is to bo as much as5K ( ) . 1 "IleyV What did you bay ? " "I said I was e.xpoctiifg lo bo married before long , fair. . " . \ "Well , sir , you tu'o a d d fool ! " Substitute Tor tlio rnlr. It Is an Incontrovertible fact * that there Is n growing sentiment unionthu ! citizens of Omaha , that the rity is ontitlcil'to something In the way of an annual exposition or festi val on n moro extensive and clabor.Uo basis than the fair. The latter' , whllo It Is nil right in It w.iy , does not seem to meet tbo cuds Unit the magnitude , anil progrc.sstx'o spirit of the city demands , neither does it prove the source of emolument that Iho thrift and enterprise of Its business Inter ests have n right to oxpset. This is especi ally the case when the tlmo and money ex pended In the attempt to got up something to ntttrnct the people hero is considered. The fair , as an exposition of the resources of the city and surrounding country , falls far short of the umric , and It is thought the tlmo has arrived for Omaha , If she desires to keep pace with other cities of commensurate impor tance and size , to do somothliiif that will Justify an outpouring of the people , and the expenditure of a inunh larger sum of money. The people , it is conceded , must have their annual frolic , n period of sight-seeing , guy- ety and mirth , and the one dlsideratuni Is to combine with this season as mui-li as is prolltable , ennobling mid Instructive ns pos sible. St. Paul lint lior Ice carnival , Sioux City hoi * corn palace , St. Louis her fair and veiled prophets , Cincinnati her centennial , New Orleans her mnrdl pr.is , New Yoric her world's fair , Boston her May festival , Chicago her uiter-stato exposition , and so on throughout the list of metropolitan centers. Omaha In catering to the elevation , the enjoyment and progress of the hundreds of thousands interested in her as n commercial centre , it is assorted ought not bo behind in such n prospect. To fei'l the pulse nt the city in this regard n Hun reporter had brief chats with the fol lowing well known citizens : Mr. Hcllmau advocates u grand Interstate exposition. Ho said the people who como hero to the fair , Hud nothing in the city to nmuso them , and of course , look to the attrac tion that brought them hero to furnish it. Thus , they go to the fair , and their disap pointment Is fully ns great. They stay a half-day mnybo , and then return to their homes tired and disgusted. A grind mter-stato exposition to bo held within the city limits would prove a most meritorious attraction. Wo have as line hotels as any city , and there is no question of adequate accommodation. The business men and capitalists should call a meeting and dibcut > s the situation , as it will devolve upon their enterprise and liberality to erect a suitable building for a show of such magnitude. And instead of a week of dust and weariness , a month or six weeks of good , solid enjoyment should bo afforded. J. A. Houiiisou thinks that nn Intcr-stata affair of the discription suggested , would bo a big thing for Omaha. All the largo cities in tlio country are vicing with each other in getting up an annual gala season for the pee ple.S. S. P. Morse was very enthusiastic. lie thinks Omaha is now old enough , robust and strong enough to tackle any enterprise that any other city can. He thinks such n pro ject would be a colossal success If only gene at in the right way , and the proper man se lected to manage and ongiaeor.-'f his must bo a man of the most undoubted ubil ity , of Jliniitless information , broad ideas and soundest discrimination one capa ble of taking hold of such a prodigious scheme and organizing it and tarrying it out to a Bucco-sfull ssue. He thinks some bright nowdpiipcr'nan , ono familiar with all the devices for amusing the people , Would bo of much service to a board of directors. Mr. Morse would like to see the matter boomed. George and Josooh Darker , ara of the opinion that the people have grown Indiffer ent to thu old-fashionea pn/.o punkin , big squash and elephantine porcine exhibition , and yearn for something higher and bettor something of n permanent character to show the resources of their town and coun try , and the day and age in which they live. The attraction must bo extensive , advantag eous , profitable , something that would war rant the railroads in taking a prominent hand In it , something that would awaken a spirit of emulation in othoc. cities , something distinctive and highly meritorious in all details. There must bo much that will interest and nmuso , and the whole people should concentrate in making such an enterprise a success. The Germans with their satigorfost , the young men with their military , musical and athletic clubs , commercial men , agriculturists , manu facturers , artists , musicians and inventors should alLtnko a hand in it. They thought a Missouri Valley centennial wouldn't boa bad idea for next year. John D. Crclghton was of the opinion that the chief feature of such an affair should bo the city's facilities for getting up a grand programme of extraordinary attractions , and ho thought a little racing nnd base ball thrown in by way of variety would bo a good thing. Erastus A. Henson said ho had already been upon a committee with the view of get ting up Just such an exposition and festival something that would enlist the in terests of the people from the Mississippi to the const , and to continue throughout the autumn months , which nro most delightful in this latitude. He Raid n mammoth building would have to bo put up , to cost not less than $ r > 00,000 , nnd that the sooner the project was agitated and taken hold of the better the prospect of at taining success. W. V. Morse thought the old Exposition building should have been preserved , the Omaha of its day was not the Omaha of to day. Ho had no especial esteem for a fair held without the city limits. What wo want is a grand , good show inside the city to bring the people and hold them here. W. A. Puxton thought the project was too much of an undertaking , that Omaha would not respond in n manner to Justify the at tempt. It had failed once , and ho thought it would again. An Absolute Cure.

It has been found that the ? least attention has been paid to the law in.tho country dis tricts , and the directors wio have not al ready reported are for the most part these of the country schools. According to reports , out of the 0,010 pupils In this city of school ago , 5jl4 ( wore enrolled last year. This does not includu the largo number of children who attend private schools.

Take the train from Nor folk to Omaha on an average wo did not carry more than three passengets a day between these points , and you can see for yourself that wouldn't ' pay. Wo want to encourage local trafllc , and are trying to accommodate those who llvo from fifty to ono hundred miles from the county seats and business centers , so that they can leave their homes , transact business , and return in the same day. Uesldcs that wo have to look after our through trade and compote with rival companies , but the Idea of a train covering 211) ) miles and being looked upon ns surburbau train Is all wrong. People who travel thai distance lo reach Omaha generally have enough business lo keep them there a whole day , and our now time card has been arranged to suit their wants.

Jailor Miller says that If Judge Bcrka gives him ono moro crowd of men like that ho sent Monday ovonlng , the jail will bo staiuUnir full and rings and chains will have to bo put In the stone wall about the court house lol to chain seine of the men to nt night so the others can have room to make up their bunks. There were just fourteen in the company broughl up the lime mentioned , and the number now in tlio jail is ninety-eight. Among thcso arc ttio thirty men who are under indictment and will bo tried at the coming term of court. Three are United States prisoners , two are from S.irpy county , two are under state sentence but their cases are now pending before the supreme court. Tlio remaining sixty or moro who cat at the jail table are the city's vags and drunks. As the building is only planned to accommodate about sixty psoplo the crowd Is iiuro than can bo properly cared for.

For Furniture. Mr. P. C , Ilimobaush , president ot the Young Men's Christian association , has sent out circular letters containing cards asking for donations to a fund for the furnishing of the now Young Men's Christian association rooms.
