There was a scene of wild excitement ami
physical combat at the Omnlin pojtofllco yes
terday nftornoon , Postmaster Clnrkson nml
Assistant Postmaster Woodard have not
hud such n test of their physical strength
for years , nnd the four young men who
rushed from the mailing room to assist the
postmaster and his llnst assistant dld not get
tholr iiervoi nuloted for nn hour after the
ttrugglo.
It all happened in this way :
Vor suvurul weak * Mr. Woodard hud been
convinced that someboiiv was selling stolen
stamped envelopes to ttio postofllce. It is the
custom all over the United States for postmasters -
masters to pay cash for stamped envelopes
that hove boon spoiled and that have boon
sold by the Postofllco department , provided
that the stamps have not boon used or soiled.
Kvery few days someone brings In n few en
velopes of this kind and thny are redeemed
by the cleric at the stamp window.
Thin Caused .Suspicion.
Hut recently there have como In largo
quantities of these stamped envelopes , with
the name of the Union Pacific shons ncuil-
quarters printed upon them. These envel
opes were invariably nudrossutl in a neat
hand and litul evidently never been mailed.
The mitn who brought tiiom always said
they were spoiled through being directed
erroneously and ho wanted the cash for
them ,
Major Clarkson Instructed the clerk at the
tamp window to notify him the next tlmo
anyone brought in a batch ot envelopes of
that character.
At ! 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the clerk
nt the stamp Window hurried Into the poit-
master'.s room and said :
"Tlint follow Is hero. Ho has Just brought
In MX ) Union 1'acllio envelopes. "
' 'Toll him to como lu hero. I want to see
him , " bald the postmaster.
Walked Into the Net.
Mr. Woodard went Into the hall with the
clerk and Invited the young man who sold
the stamps to step Into tlio postmnstor's pri
vate ofllee. He walked in , hesitatingly. Ho
had to pass through Mr. WooilariVs room before -
fore roucliinp the postmaster's ' sanctum. Mr.
Woodard remained In tils own room near the
door that loads Into t'uo hall , for he felt sure
that the follow was a thief and that ho would
make a break for liberty before talking with
the postmaster very long.
"Will you please give mo your name ? " the
postmaster iiskotl the young man.
"My name's Watson , " said the young
man.
"And where do you woik ? " asked the post
master.
And then the fun begun. When the word
"work" foil upon the stranger's ' cars ho
whirled on his Iicol and darted out of the
postmaster's room and made straight for the
door that stood between him and the open
hall.
hall."Stop , stop" shouted Mr. Woodard and ho
grappled with the fugitive. Ho was no
match , physically , for the man , who wanted
to brentho the free air of German day liberty
on thooutsldo. The fugitive was just about
to make his escape from Mr , Woodard whou
Major Clurkson sprang upon him.

OVUHA , Nob. , Oct. 0. To tbo Editor of Tun
llic : Perhaps while the people of Omaha
nro watching the uncovering of the veiled
profit , in the city council chamber , and con-
ildorlng the matter of lllling numerous
onlcoi , state , county and city , within the
next two months , there Is danger ot over
looking certain Important oftlces to which the
attention ot the public bus not been specially
directed by the press or oy any other ngonoy ,
uaiuoly , the six oftlcoj of Justice of the peace
In the city of Omaha.
Under the law made last winter the city Is
to linvo six Justices elected , not by wards or
districts , but by the whole city.
It Is n great mistake to regard those oftlces ,
s many do , and as the press scorns to , in the
manner-indicated by the term "justice shops , "
which has become quite common. In this
connection I wish to call attention to u few
pertinent facts :
1. In this city a largo volume of business Is
done In the courts of the Justices of the
ponce.
a. Although the cases adjudicated In these
courts Involve , In most cases , comparatively
mall amounts , yet to many of the litigants
they nro as Important as the so-called impor
tant cases In the higher courts are to the
wealthy litigants ongaced ir. thorn.
8. The income from ono of these offices
will probably bo suulelont to comnund thtf
services , of n-nmn of recognized ability and
honor and a very irood amount of inimi
learning.
4. Probubly If these ofllcos were hold bv
such men , much of the litigation which
would otherwise bo carried up to burden the
district court would bo ended wooro It U
commenced , and much trouble and Irritation
would bo avoided.
5. It Is well known that not moro than ono
or two of the present Incumbents answer the

The Iccturo that was to have been delivered
lastovoulngat the Young Men's ' Christian
association hall by John Philip Qulnn on
"Kools of Fortune , " or the Impossibility i
beating n gambler at his own game , vns ;
postponed on account of slim attendance
until Thursday evening , when It will bo de
livered free , and It Is desired to have every
scat In the house filled.
Mr. Qulnn gathered the few present last
night up around the stage and showed them
the workings of an assortment of crooked
gambling devices , of which ho has enough to
stocK a mammoth gambling house. They
were captured In some of the blcgest
gambling houses In Chicago and hove soon
actual service.
"I can prove to any man" said the lecturer ,
"that It is absolutely impossible for him to
win unless the gambler so wills.
There Is no such thing as a fair show in n
gambling house , for 1th n dead cinch ( or the
gambler and Just ns certain robbery of the
sucker. I know what I am talking itDout. I
was n gambler for twenty-live years , nnd
have won monov by the thousands. I was
convicted In Terre Hnuto , Ind. , in 18S7 , of
robbing u man of $ .1,000 , uud with two others
was sent to the penitentiary for three years.
I was not guilty ; nnd Ilnally succeeded In
having the roil culprits Drought to Justice.
Then , alter Having boon n convict for four
teen mouths , I was pardoned by Governor
Gray on the ground of innocence. During
that tlmo my wife nnd baby had died , and In
November , I8S3 , I was released from prison
In n straw hat and llnon duster , without a
dollar or n Jrlond la the wldo world. That
was my experience , and I have never gambled
since that tlmo.
"I nm no sleight of hand performer , but
Just look here , " and the reformed gambler
showed the few deeply Interested spectators
some things that surprised them. There were
Implements the like of which had never been
seen before Insldo the walls of the Young
Men's Christian association building. Riro
boxes , roulette wheels , dice boxes nnd loaded
dice , swindling devices , marked cards und
kindred articles rested easily beside the lec
turer's ancient nnd tattered bible. Hnshowod
the workings of the crooked faro box ,
vith which ho could "kill" cards
nnd then put them back again
so as not to "queer the cases. " Ho made the
red or black of the roulette wheel win or lese
at will anil road cards from the backs as fast
as any ono else could from the face. Ho also
stacked a deck and after the spectators hod
cut thorn to their heart's content he pro
ceeded to deal a four-handed poker hand and
coolly helped himself to four aces , while the
others received four kings , four queens and
four Jacks respectively.
" ( Jan you wir. I" ho Inquired. "It Is Just
this way nil the way through- downright
robbery , nothing more. Como Thursday
evening and sco the rest of it , and bring your
young friends. When I show them that
they can't got the gambler's money they
Won't ' bet theirs on his game. "
Science in Hrcnd
At the recent annual meeting of the Amer
ican Chonncnl society , holjt in Washington ,
D. C. , tno question of the value of carbonate
of ammonia ns a leavening nccnt In bread , or
us used In baking powders came up for dis
cussion , In which Prof. Unrkor of tlio Uni
versity of Pennsylvania , nnd president of
the society Dr. Hiclmrdson , late of tno
United States Department of Agriculture in
Washington ; Dr. William McMutrio. late
professor of chemistry In ttio University of
Illinois ; Dr. 13. H. Hartley , late chemist of
the Brooklyn , N. Y. Board of Health , and
professor of chemistry of the Long Island
college , and others took part.
The consensus of opinion was overwhelm
ingly In favor of ttio omploymentof ammonia.
It whs stated as a fact that ammonia ren
dered the gluten of the flour moro soluble
than the original gluten , und that the bread
In which this action was produced by car
bonate of ammonia must bo mdro digestible
nnd hence moro healthful , nnd because of the
extreme volatility of carbonate of ammonia
and Its complete expulsion from the bread in
the process ot baking , ills ono of the most
useful , most healthful and most valuable
loavonlnp agents known.
These conclusions are berne out by the
very elaborate and exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. . .1.V. . Mallet of the University
'
of Virginia , which show co'ncluslvely that
bread made of baking powder In which 1 per
cent of uarbonato of ammonia Is used , in con
nection with cream of tartur and soda , Is not
only of uniformly better color and texture ,
but aproduet moro wholesome , because the
ammonia serves to neutralize any orgnnlo or
lactic acids present In the Hour.

Cntcino , III. , Oct. -Chairman E. Walker
of the bo.ird of commissioners of the Western
Trafllc association has promulgated a decis
ion that Is of considerable Interest ns bearing
upon the famous tniflle agreement between
the Union Paclllo and the Chicago & North
western roads. The division formnrly lu use
upon freight delivered by the Union Paclllo
to Us eastern connections , allowed to the
lines east of the Mlsourl river , was ! iJ.5 per
cent of the through rate on shipments of
general merchandise from Helena nnd other
Montana points to Chicago. At the same
tlmo there was In use on shipments of bullion
ere nnd copper matter n special division of
! ! ) . ( } par cent to the same lines , In accordance
with a clause of the old tripartite agreement.
After the tralllc contract between the
Union Pacillc nnd Northwostoni expired the
division on merchandise from Montana points
allowed to the latter road was reduced to li'J
per cent. The competitors of the North
western were subsequently authorized to
meet this competition. The old poicentago
of lll.O per cent was continued on bullion ore
and copper matter , but recently all the east
ern connections of the Union Pacillc , Includ
ing the Chicago & Northwestern , made the
claim that the division of U'i per cent should
control In this as well as on other trafllc.
Chairman Miagely of the Wo'stcrr. Freight
association concurred In this view and In
Juno the Union Pacillc Issued n circular can
celling all through rates arrangements with
connecting lines on bullion nnd ere und
charging full local rates to the Missouri
liver.
The commissioners now decide that the at
tempted discontinuance of tnrougb billing by
moans of n notice to agents was unwarranted ,
and they peremptorily order the Union
Paclllo to resume the through billing of
freight offered tor shipment under the
throuch tariff. The difference between the
Union Pacillc and its connection respecting
divisions is a question which untc-datos the
organization of the Western Trafllc associa
tion and for that reason the commissioners
decline to pass upon It , not being satlslleci
that they liavo the authority to do so.

Iho Chicago & Krio road has notlllcd
Chairman ( Joddard of the joint rate commit
tee that it will not adopt the divisions
ordered by that committee with the Indiana ,
Illinois & lown road. Similar notice was
given sovcral days ago by the Michigan Cen
tral , Lake Shore nnd Pennsylvania lines , but
they chansed their minds today and put the
order into effeot. Ttio last named companies
nro members of the Cc-ntral Traflle associa
tion , wtiilo the Chicago & Erie is not. None
of the western lines have shown any disposi
tion as yet to adopt tlio divisions and" it Is
feared that their refusal to do so will cause
troublesome complications In the Western
Freight association.

KANSAS Cur , Mo. , Oct. 0. The regular
monthly meeting of the Transmlssouri nsso-
oiation will bo bold in Kansas City October
13. The first subject on the call Is skeleton
coupon tickets. The question has been up
for several meetings and was referred to a
committee , which will report at the coming
Rosslon. The proposition is to make the lines
Issuing the skeleton tlckots responsible to
the connecting roads. The skeleton form Is
the ono most used by unprincipled "scalp-
on , " ns by forgery the tickets can bo changed
n destination as well as origin.
The next subject of importance Is the do-
morallzatiun of Colorado rates by manipula
tion of tickets to and from points beyond. At
the July mooting a committee was appointed
to confer jointly with the other associations
nnd report upon bomo plan to modify the
dilllcullles. The question of adopting n
basis for computing excess baggage rates
will bo considered. At the last meeting of
the National association of general baggapo
agents a resolution wis adopted that bag
gage weighing in excess of the free allow
ance should bo subject to a charge for 100
pounds of not less than 1pec cent
of the lowest unlimited ticket rate
or when no unlimited rate Is
quoted , n charge of 12 per cent of the highest
I list class limited rate should bo made. U Is
probable that the resolution of the baggage
agents will bo adopted by the association.

WHY THRY DO IT.
People don't trade with us because they love us. They don't come into our store In
crowds because they're stuck on our cleiks. They don't jostle and crowd each other to get the
goodri they want simply to amuse themselves. They don't stand around half an hour to get
waited on when we're rushed , simply to kill time. They don't trade with us because we sell
better goods than anybody else , because no one house nor dozen houses can corner all the
good tlimgs. They trade with us because it pays them to do it , because we hit 'em in their
tc nicst spot , their pockctbooks. In other words it's
THE POWER OI PRIOR-
that keeps the machinery of our great business constantly oiled. Never was that power ap
plied with more force than we use it this week in our Hoy's Clothing department , in these
four items.
Two hundred and fifty knee pant Suits , strictly all wool , five hand
some patterns to choose from , ages 4 to 14 yeaiv , values up to $4.25 at
t 7 r * Is the price we have made on about four hundred fine all wool knee
/ j pant Suits , in beautiful styles and colors , in ages 4 to 14. Without the

School Suits made of splendid wearing All Wool Cassimeresin four
choice styles , ages 10 to 13 , coat , vest and long pants , value near the
seven dollar mark at
Is the price we've applied to the same thing as the last lot , only they'll
fit larger boys , fourteen to nineteen years old. Ifyou did'nt know theprico
you'd expect the salesman to say $8.00.
THE POWER OF PRICE will be applied to our fourth shipment" of
