WORSE THAN THREE CARD MONTE. Five Thousand Quartern Spent to'Sco a UVcitUiiK Thnt Didn't Con nect Story of a Sunday AUernoon. There nro more suckers to the square Inch In Omaha thmi In any other city In tbo country. If you don't bcllevo It , It Is because you were sick yesterday afternoon ana couldn't get out to the driving park. Just think ! Klvo thousand pcoplo In this civilized , Christian city , skinned out of 25 cents npicco on a beautiful Sabbath after noon and nothing to show for their white alley. Nothing but experience. \Vo aon't care so much about our money , even If tbo other fellows did get It , but they Added Insult to Injury by skipping out of town with It. That's what makes us weep. Well , experience Is a good thing , and with Dr. Duryca's sermon In the morning and that practical Illustration of the other side of life at the driving park In the afternoon , It wasn't such a bad day after all. Of course you've heard about the air ship the great Chicago ulr ship. Well , that was the pamo wo went up against and wo hit It , Oh so hard. Yes , It was the self-same , Identi cal invention that didn't ascend In St. Joe and was attached by Impatient creditors who , when the box. was opened , found only a wagon load and a half of sawdust. You read about It In the telegraphrolumnsof Tut : BEE. So dm the rest of us , but , vo went out tosco It Just the same. Wo saw that \\o very snmo box , lonp , nar row , azurn complcxlonoil , but nobody else v.Ill over &co It.Vo deliberately touched a match to It and the smoke was passing the planet Mars at sundown. If wo had only hnd Mr. Hush and Mr. Dodd to have thrown on ton of 111 Five thousand mortals would have danced around their funeral pyre In ghoulish glee. They missed n grand opportunity , and It's milieus to measles now that they won't have even n corirorato guard to cheer them when they finally got re.idy to shuillc off. As Is well known , the city has been flooded for days with dodgers , posters and lithographs , setting forth the fact that tit ! : : ) o'clock Sunday afternoon the great air ship would ascend from the driving park , I tailing with It a bridal party , and that at a height of 1.000 foot from terra llrmii .Hulgo Ilclsloy would pronounce tlio minis that would unite In the holy bonds uf matrimony Mr. John D. Turner and Miss Luclhi Kugonio Carlisle. The ship would "lien descend and after taking on board a : ouplo oppress representatives tlm darlnir aeronaut was to sail away for Chicago nt precisely 4 o'clock. Ono part of the pro gramme was carried out. Tlio aeronaut left nt 4 o'clock and he went a-suilluc-on horse back. Ills partner mid the cato receipt ) "was will 'lm. As early us 1 o'clock the tldo of travel began to ( tow toward the driving park. People went afoot , on horseback and in car riages , whllo ovcry north bound motor train on cither the cable , Hanscom park or South Omaha line was crowded almost to suffoca tion. Everybody wanted to see tbo air ship and they gave up their silver quar ters at the gates as cheerfully as though the overworked ticket sailors had held g H at tholr heads and ordered tnom to foru over. They swnimed In through the east , south and west gates , and crushed Into the grand stand. That was one place where the management was lame. They didn't charge anything for admission to the amphitheater , \\hon they might have re ceived an additional 10 cents per ho.id just as well as not. Hut then , they wanted every body seated , so that there would bo fewer smelling committees loosa on the ground , so perhaps It was just as well that they man aged itio show as they did. The storv iravelwl around , lust as stories USJn u crowd , that there was"to bo a ton- mlle race between two lady riders , who were to change horses every mile. Then n couple of females , mounted on n pair of bronchos , appealed on the track ns If to verify thoioport. They rode up and down several times , and then retired to ( jlvu place to a couple of boys who came on nnd rode a half mlle handicap pony race that was fairly Interesting until the quarter polo was rcncned. The females then returned nnd cantered their steeds down past the grand stand. Ono of them continued around the track to the opening and disappeared , after which the other wheeled herhorso and came Hying back past the stand. At the goto she tried to pull off the truck , and making a short turn , went over backward. Her foot caugot in the stir rup , and the unfortunate creature was com pelled to stand on her head until a number of men corralcd tbo horse and released her from her embarrassing predicament. Kno wasn't killed , and as she put on n bioad grin and sauntered down behind tbo grand stnna serious doubts began to arise in the minds of the crowd nt to whether they were to receive the full value of their mouoy. The stream continued to flow In at the pates , and the stand could hardly have ac commodated another person , while the quar ter stretch was lined with carriages , and fully two thousand persons crowdcu their noses ugalnst tl > o picket fence. The Fie- inont , Kllthorn fc Missouri Valley bridge was black with spectators , who didn't Imvo n qmuter to spare , mid other impecunious In dividuals endeavored to hold vantage places on it switch engine Just outside the grounds , or on roofs , trees or fences. Hundreds of carriages wcio drawn up on the level traot cast of Sherman avenue , overlooking the fair grounds , nnd many ot the occupr.nt.s were of the city's good people who didn't want to enter the driving park on Sunday , but thought it no harm to view the proceedings from ad joining grounds. Thev are only a quarter better off than ttio fist of us , after all. finally thrco men climbed slowly over the fcnco on the Inside of the track and proceeded over to where the long , blue bov was quietly reposing , surrounded by fourteen blue gasO' line barrels. They tipped thu thing over , pulled n board off tbo bottom , nnd Uicnst-irted toward the grand stand , while the others hauled out n few lonesome bunches of excelsior from the stomach of the box. The gentleman In the judged stand took off bis hat , and allowed the crowd to recognize the onco-secu-ncvcr-to-bo- forgotten features ofV. . Wupplch , ex-cuii < didnlo for tbo city urosccutorship. The crowd began to make a turbulent demonstration , and after calling them to order with thu Judges' boll , Mr. Wappioh hastened to make himself solid by declaring that ho was a citizen of Omaha , but oven then It would have gene hard with him , had ho not explained that ho was a sucker thu Samoa * the rest of them. "There Is nothing in that box , " ho said , "and thu two men who had the thing in clmri/o have lust taken the total gate le- celptx , mounted horse * and gouo down town at full gallop. The police huvu arrested sev eral parties who seemed to bo working heio , but the money is fono. There don't M.TIII to be anything fur us to do but shoulJcr our ex- ixjriencod and walk home. " That was all. The crowd didn't have to bahlt with a club. It could take a hint , so It unloaded the grandstand - stand , and street railway business improved rlfht away. No , U didn't kick. What was the use ! U was roul funny auywa. > , and everybody was tickled half to death. Of course pcoplo laughed and joked about It , but Just wall Jintll they got their hands on those two Tiorjcmrn Then tholr cup of Joy will bo full ami running over. There were policemen enough the.ro to have pIckiHi up tno fair ground * nnd carried them down Into Harpy county , but they dlun'l know what was eolng oa utull Wap- i told them , and then they bustled out nrrcitod all the duped employes that Hush and Dodd had loft behind. They were taken to the station and locked up , and then the story of their connection with the deal was made known , Iloburl Cohce had been employed to sell tickets nt the west gale , and had turned over ? i'i.W ) to Hush nnd Dodd , whd made a round of the box onices just before they skipped. Ho had ? T.U5 whlcn ho collected after that time. John Smith and Jack Adams had sold tick ets at the east gate , and they had raked In a little over &WO , but this was al.io gone. Charles Knno collected & > 1 at the south gate , but he only had tJ of It loft. C. K. Hotn , an employe of the Driving 'nrk ' association , was also mudo a prisoner , and his silk hat nnd whiskers were thrust Into a cell with eight honoss and a pair of drunks. He lamented his arrest , and said ho was unwittingly drawn into what proved to bo it swindle , although perfectly Innocent. Some of the ticket sellers said that Uoth had employed them , nnd ho explained It by saying that ho thought everything was straight and had helped Hush and Dodd all ho could to perfect arrangements. Last , but not least of the prisoners , was J. D. Turner , the young man who was to have been made n bridegroom in the clouds on that eventful afternoon. Ho claimed to bo another dupe. Ho said that ho was an advertising man and had been cagaged to get out lithographs and poster * . Ho knew nothing about the scheme , nnd had never seen the nlr ship , out had thought nil along that It was simply a balloon. He know that the ship failed to ascend In St. Jo2 , on account of the r.iln , but neither Bush nor Dodd had over given him any explanation. Ho had not intended to get married , and knew nothing about ttiat part of it until ho saw the proof of posters. Ho said It was too late to kick then , and ho supposed he might as well bo advertised as anybody else. Hn had no Idea who the young lady was , al though rurcorsays she is a waitress nt the Jennings hotel. Ho collected some of the monny from the gatekeepers , but turned it over to Bush , who even gave him an order on Hoth for the ? 2. " > , nnd then borrowed the money from him ns soon as ho had secured It. Kofh said that all 1m knew about the mat ter was that ho was Introduced to Bush some tlmo ago by the Coliseum management , and it thus hapjwied that ho had been taken in. Bush had frequently borrowed money from him , and ho imuio up his muni that the only way to get It bark was to help the ex hibition along. Ho even had to guarantee the advertising bills , and was "In" to the ex tent of S'J > 0. This explained his presence at tbo box ollico , ns ho was watching the money , but ho was called outsldo by one of tbo chief conspirators while the other got away with the cash. C. M. F. Bush , one of the men who figures so unpleasantly In this case , was brought hero from Denver last February by Messrs. Koedor & Bell , to tnko charge of the Coli seum. Turner says ho know him la that city two years airo , when ho was starting the Metropolitan theater. The tickets sold at the gate were Coliseum tickets , which Mr. Bell says were taken with out tno permission or knowledge of the m in- agomcnt. Tlio crowd burned the box on the ground and thuu quietly dispersed. Numer ous parties visited police headquarters to Hie a complaint in the case , but were told this matter would bo nttondcd to. Bush and Dodd hired saddle horses at the Jefferson square barn to go to the park In the afternoon , nnd returned about 4 o'clock with their animals covered with lather. They ran to the Dellono hotel , where they had been stopolng , nnd got their grips and skipped out , leaving an unpaid hotel bill of $30 Behind them. It was thought that they wont to the Bluffs nnd several olliecrs hustled over there after them , but they had about an hour's start from the hotel. There arc fully twenty young men and boys who are looking for pay for peddling bills or similar work. The swindlers had a room In tbo Her block at Sixteenth and Howard , also an ofllco In the Puxton block , whcro bills were given out. out.To3 , To3 Dodd Is the only outsider connected with tbo deal , and of him little is known ex- cop t that ho claimed to hall from Chicago. Ho is about flvc feet eight inches high , weighs 150 pounds , and is smooth shaven. Ho is twenty-seven years old. Bush , the ex-Coliseum manager , is a small man , wearing gold glasses , and accompanied Mr. Dodd nnd about fOOO of the easily gotten money in.tholr flight. It is said that , i sucker Is born every min ute , nnd noiio of thorn over dlo. This saying will hereafter bo nn axiom In Omaha. The swindle so cleverly and successfully worked points ono truth very plainly , "Advertising pays. " Captain Mostyn was served with an at tachment notlco last night signed by W. H. Dody. The notice commanded the caotain to retain possession of all tnonov nnd property found upon the persons of C. E. Roth , E. W , Bush and J. 03. Dodd.

" The reverend gentleman said In substance : 'It ' has been said of the Niccno creed that It was lit only to bo sun ? . On the other hand , It would bo hard to sot the Westminster faith to music. The Nlceno creed Is the amplification of the apostles' creed. Scarcely a doctrine which Is In dispute In the chuVches round about1 us can furnish it proper ground for dispute in our roomy church. Tno only affirmation In the Nlceno creed i Is the largo , clastic declaration , 'I believe In ono Catholic and apostollo church. " Wo cannot Judge of Catholicism when It ruled out the foremost man In the church for the bishopric because of his opinion concerning the EpUcopal. What must wo believe concerning the Bible" Nothing boj end the simply declaration ot the Nlceno'cieed , whospoko by tlu prophets. You may hold to the plenary inspiration of the scriptures and tollcvo every word dilated by the Almighty , or you may hold that lame and reasonable view which is spreading throughout out church so rapldiv with equal loyalty to our only authority. the creed. What does the church bid us bellovo concerning the story of the creation I You are equally free to read the story in Guanos as history or parable.Vhat does the church command us to believe concerning and origin of evil I The full of man I Noth ing , whatever. Concerning the atonement , tno language ol the creed ) Who for us men nnd for our salvation came down from heaven < Concerning futuio punishment ! Nothing. Not contained In the language of creed. 'Ho shall como again with elory to Judge both the quick and the dead. ' All theories of the duration of punishment nro extra creedlcss. The first form of the arti cle * contained an article of future punishment nnd that article was aftcrw.ird withdrawn. "What of the rcstiricctlon ? That dead nriso Into life Immortal , clothed In bodily form , I understand to be the teaching of our great creeds. The nature of the resurrected body is not affirmed. You are frco to believe this in a literal sense. ' 'Concerning ' the sacrament and the Lord's supper we me free to believe most anything that commends Itself to Christian conscious ness. On all these themes on which creeds are silent it is natural that'man should think. Opinions must bo formed nnd held , and the Christian , bo ho layman orclergvmun ; , is loft free to form his own opinion. The Niccno creed is a charter of liberality. It frees us from the burning questions with which Protestantism Is on lire today. Our great creed , " concluded the speaker , "Is the recon ciliation of Christianity jvlth itself. Chris tianity Is torn and dismembered before our eyes. It is paralyzed wlthldoubt. Thestrifo of creeds is seen on every'sldo.

" KXOTTV PUOm.EMS SOLVED. If President Harrison succeeds In settling satisfactorily the Bearing sea dispute he will have added anotncr laurel to his cap In the way of dispos ing of knotty questions , \\liiehhoinheritcd after many years of unsuccessful efforts on the part of his predecessors. Ttio seal Hsh- erics have inado trouolu for presidents almost ever since the United States pur chased Alaska , about a quarter of a century ngo. ngo.Tho The prospects of the early settlement of the sealing trouble reminds 0:10 of the fact that no president , In a time of peace , has cvnr been presented with so many knotty questions as heirlooms from predecessors ns 1'rcstdunt Harriion. Many of them cumo through the department of state , but most of them hid to bo settled la congress , bein < internal affairs. fho Latin-American questions are fairly determined by the establishment of tbo bureau of American republics nnd the ratification of various commercial treaties. Thu international postal problems were tauen up and disposed of In such a way that wo now have foreign malls going nnd coming inado up on tbo mail ships , ready for imme diate transportation to their destination , the same ns mails nro "done up" on postal cars. This appeared to bo an insoluble problem to the Cleveland postofllco authorities. Con gress made an ouproprlatlon for the be ginning of this work and facilitating ocean mails , but Postmaster General Vitas could not Hnd a way to improve the service , and so the money reverted back into the treasury.

No sooner did this administration como in than those hoary problems were promptly taken up and disposed of in a way that has given general satisfaction. It is n remark able fact that no partisan complaint has over been heard about the disposition of any gen eral problem disposed of by President Harri son , with the exception of the tariff and sil ver. and upon them the two great parties are divided , and probably will bo divided for the lifetime of parties. No ono has over charged him with treating n non-partisan question with a partisan spirit. Tno administration has been and is for the pooplo. Piosldent Harrison and the republican congress which dir * > anded on March 4 were confronted with ono especially vexatious problum which is sure to como up again within eightrcn months In the form of rehabilitated iiorploxltlos. It was that of deficiencies in appropriations necessary to run the federal government. Ono of the greatest features of a briuf dem ocratic administration In congress or the white house Is economy. To save the money of the government nt the expense of the hon est citizen who has honest claims against the government and by appropriating only a portion tion of the funds absolutely necessary to run the government from year to year , so as to accumulate deficiencies for a succeeding party to make good , is the stronghold of the democrats. During the lost session of con gress millions upon millions of money imper atively necessary for the operation of the government was not appropriated , the ob ject being to make it necessary for the repub licans to increase appropriations , thus giving the democrats a chance to cry "extrava gance" and talk about "a billion-dollar con gress. " It is the policy of the republicans in congress nnd the executive branches of the go1 eminent to fairly and squarely appro priate all the money necessary every year to paal' ' honest claims of ull honest citi zens against thu government and pay upon demand all the running expenses of tlio same. To do otherwise is as decelvlntr and dishonest as I1 , is for a banker to keep from his publsihed statements the amounts his Institution owes and to charge as peed assets worthl03s paper. Under a republican ad ministration It Is ns easy for any citizen to got nt a definite nnd faithful statement of the condition of the government as it is to learn the condition of the bank where ho keopa his deposit ! . Ilo always knows just where ho stanus. Under democratic administration it is like operation with a "tickei" bank , where tMo real obligations , liabilities , are unknown nnd overv honest cebt is staved of ns long as possible , waiting for some unlucky Should another democratic president oo elected the surplus will again pile up , If the tariff laws are not destroyed , and there will bo deficiencies again in the operating ac counts of ovcry executive department. But the next president , bo he Cleveland , Harri son or somebody else , \\ill Hnd no deficien cies , no faUo bookkeeping or accounts. The federal government will bo ready for trans fer into other hands or a continuance of the present stewardship oa March 4 , Ifc'.U. Ill as clean condition as the best kept national bank nil the books balanced , debts paid , money appropriated for the balance of tbo fiscal year , and a statement laid upon the president's desk , showing him honestly and faithfully just how Uncle Sam stands.

The trans-MIssls- slppl congress voted for the colnauo of Ameri can silver and then aljourncd to meet in Omaha next October. Itwai in session four days. Silver nnd Irritation to a largo extent over shadowed all other subjects the congress had to discuss , and they were many and varied There was opposition to the first two on.prln- clplo and on the dotatls , and this fact 'alono brought thorn into prominence. On thoothcr subjects there was n unanimity that kept tbo surface unrunicd. Tha scope of the conven tion was highly dlvorslllcd , although several unimportant proposition * were sidetracked before the mcntliiK orpauUod. The movement to urge the repeal of the tariff on Mexican Ic.iu was to have been backed by Texas nnd Kansas City smelters , but through the diplomacy of ilio west tbo subject was not oven referred to. A discus- plan would have engendered moro acri mony than wns evoked by the hlivor resolutions , The extreme western delegation carried tbo convention by storm and the agri cultural states had only a feeble hearing , llcnco the result of the Omaha moetliiij ro- mams problematical. That mooting will adopt resolutions to bo submitted to the national conyross , and with the possibility of a morn complete representation from dele gates who were this week in C'fncmimtl , sil ver resolutions may bo amended to provide for the coinage ot American silver only , The closeness of the vote before adjournment demonstrates that the silver men have over estimated their strength. Although lown , Louisiana , Kansas , Nebraska and Arkansas wore not In the convention , thu vote was 5T > to fib In favor of unlimited frco coinage. With the presence of absent delegates the result might have boon different. i Hnlcldi of it Travel.iir Man. DBXVKU , Colo. , May S4.

Chlcaeo was today th cciio of the denouement of a genuine ro- mnnco with all essential fe.uuras n wealthy nobleman , a disinherited son , n beautiful .vonian , n duel ar.d a mystery. Baron Rudolph Kalnoky do Korespatka , n .icphow of Count Kalnoky of Vienna , miulo ills Hrst visit to Chicago about n month ago , registering nt the Ulchcllou merely as Ru dolph KalnokjJ of Now York. Ho was hand some and distinguished , nppoared tn no the possessor of unlimited means , nnd , whllo evidently suffering from habitual melan choly , soon became a favorite with the fo\V to whom ho gave his friendship , The object of his stay In Chicago was a mystery to all except Manager Carlson of the hotel , to whom ho partially told his story. Kalnoky , according to his own con fession , was at ono time the staunch do- fenucr and inisslonato admirer of the erratic Natnllo of Sorvla , during her sometimes em barrassing vUlts to Austria. Ho had also been n chosen companion of the revels of thd ay young crown prince , whoso prnnki shocked all Europe. Hint event only drovd Kalnoky to uihler dissipations. Seeking n change lit America , ho acci dentally met Miss Mlttlo Athcrton , n mom * her of the Duff opera company during the ast Chicago engagement. She was the pos sessor of n volco of unusual power and mel ody and a charming face. She led the b.irou n d olcful lile , both lirro nnd In otticr cltlei to which ho followed her She constantly koit before him the fact that-ho could never become his wife , as her beat t wns already given to ono for whoso snko she would shortly end her stage life. Kalnoky llnally became convinced of the truth of tills and re mained behind when the company loft Chi cago. Ten days ago ho weakened and inado ft lying trip to Loulsvillo in one last effort to conquer the pretty actress. While there ho seems > o have mot ono of his numerous rivals , though not the successful ono. Last Friday morning ho returned to the Uicnelicu , having given up his original Idea of following Miss Athcrton fioin Loulsvillo to IMttsburg. The same night the man whom ho had encountered in the south dined with him at the Hichcllcu restaurant , tUQ two seeming to tnko a morbid Interest In to- po'.her drowning their mutuuUoirows. A too free Indulgence in wmo , however , quickly ended the friendly character of thu meeting. In thp parlor u few mlnutos after dinner a cry of rage was hoard and a heavy fall. Kalnoky had knocked his companion dowu for speaking disrespectfully of tbo woman ho loved. An hour afterward a friend of the south erner appeared with a resXotfiil | ! note de manding a meeting. Kalnoky at oneo ac cepted In n note which he sent to a friend then stopplng.-nt the Richelieu and to which , tbo southerner's second was referred. With the exception of the rash act \vhtch gave the excuse for a ohallongo the affair was carried out with regard to every nicety. On Saturday night the baron wns Informed that nil the details bail been arranged and that the meotiiig would take place at Jackson park at daybreak of tbo following morning. Kulnoky's second , having the choice of weapons , had selected rapiers , the baron being unfamiliar with the use of pistols , and the arrangement belnjj satisfactory to his opponent , who was familiar with fencing through student llfi ) . That night Knh.oky expressed his satisfac tion at the coming of tba morrow. If bo had the luck to fall , ho said , his opponent's blada would but take the place of a u capon In his own hand , a ? his \\ild Ufa had caused him to bo disowned by his family , and suicide alone remained for him. Carlson , believing that the affair would not end seriously , begged to let the matter take Its course. The baron settled his bill and left word that If ha did not survive all his bulonglngs were to bo sent to the woman for whore ho'-or ho had fought. At 4 o'clock this morning ho cntorod a , waiting carriage and was Immediately Joined by his second. On Prairie avenue they stopped to take In a prominent young physi cian , whom the baron had known when the former was a student In the hospitals ot Vienna. At Jackson pnrk they found the opposlto party. The seconds walked about for some tlmo selecting the most fnvorablo lighting crounds. This was nt last found close to the Forty-ninth street entrance to the park , just west of the small bildgc. It was an Ideal spot for an affair of honor. On ono side It was snlolded by a high board fence , which separates the Improved from the unimproved portions of the park , and on the otbor by a Croat knoll surmounted by a heavy growth of bushes. At ten minutes past (1 ( the adversaries were facing each other , sword In hand , and bared to tholr shirts. A moment later itio word was given and , Ilka a Hash , the southerner commenced the attack. After some share lighting the southerner succeeded in inflict ing a slight wound In the right leg of the baron , A little Inter the baron mndo n clever lunge which priukcd the skin on tlio right shoulder of his adversary. The latter , how ever , parried admirably , and at the same moment , to the horror of the seconds , the the point of his adversary's ' sword. It entered his neck , A stream of blood gushed from the tvound. The seconds nt once stopped the combitt. Baron Kulnoky was assisted to an adjoining1 knoll and his wound hastily dressed. After tucertuhiini : that the result would not bo fatal the southerner and his friends loft the Held Every effort to Identify the man has lalled with the exception of Kalnoky. Ho appears to have been unknown to all concerned. Ills disappearance , however , loads to the belief that ho is the son of n prominent cltlron of Atlanta , Cit. , who , though qulto young , has tnkun an active pirt In several attain of honor. He Is known to have boarded the Cincinnati train on the UI ? Four which loft the Hyde 1'urk station at 0:45 : , two hours , after the termination of the combat. Baron Knlnoky's whereabouts iiro kept secret , but unless ho was nblo to go cast tonight ho Is still nt the residence of the attending physician or with friends in Hyde park. Manager Carlson of the Rlcholiuu , whila deeply rcgreotlni ; the affair and an noyed that It should have become known. Is assured that the young Austrian has been well cared for and that his life Is not In Immediate daiiKur. From conversations with him , however , ho fuars that the baron's display was not n mere ao- ddmit , but that , Hiidlng hlmielf facing ono not his equal In RworiUminshlp , ho took that means of honorably ending his life. If this was the cnsa Mr. Carlson fears that Kulnoky may follow the fulluni of this by a successful attempt upon tils own llfo. NIMH- HolmIllty. . Dow. Cm , Idal.o.
