The mnn who bollovos or Imagines that
tlio pnoploof Omatm iiro not phllnnthroplc

nuts of this great city , ,
A visit to the hoiulqunrtcrj of the Umnhn
Co-oporntlvo Clmritics at 105 South fif
teenth street will convince the pessi
mist In ilia community that thu good people
of Om.itia iiro tiuinoroiiH nnJ that nil they
ask Is a fair opportunity to help the poor and
they will supply the necessary lusUtanco In
abundance.
For nearly a weak the charity association
has had c.wasscrs scouring the city In
search of needy people , with n vioiv of fur
nishing every ImliKont family with a good
Christmas dinner at least , and any other as-
Blstnnco needed. The canvassers have found
uoinothliM llkoL'X ( ) rumllioi In pressing need
of food and clothing. A general appeal was
issued to the people of Omaha for food and
clothing for tneso needy ones. And how tbo
provisions did roll In. The largo store room
occupied by these In charge of registering the
names and addresses of poor families and
taking charge of the donations looked today
like a general supply depot for the grass
hopper sufferers.
A .special request has been sent out for din
ners in baskets all ready packed and ready to
bo delivered. Hundreds of pcopln responded
to this particular call. Nearly all
day thcro was a continuous line
of" buggies drivingup to too char
ily headquarters , bringing baskets and
buckets filled with eatables. Many handed
the goods in without leaving their names , but
an effort was made by the clerks to keep un
nccurato record of every donulijii.
Itwaoa busy scene. Uov. A. W.Clark ,

work of receiving and distributing the
goods.
"Wo need more shoes , " said Mrs. Ilanor to
n Dm. reporter.Vo liavo received u largo
amount of clothing , you see , hut we shall
need all that hns been sent and more.Vn
especially need small shoes for barefooted
chilutcn , It is astonishing to SPO the number
of children who are suftoring for want of
clothing unil particularly for want of shoos.
If the weather sliould turn cold hundreds of
poor little children would have frp eu foot.
The way the goods are coming in is great
encouragement to us. I have always main
tained thatthe people of Omaha would take-
good care of the worth- poor If they onlv
had an opportunity to contribute toward such
on effort In such a way ihat they would feel
certain the goods were coing to deserving
peoplo. This orgatmatton should by all
njoans bo made permanent. "
The work of distributing the goods among
the poor began this nftoinoon and will bo con
tinued nil day Christinas or as long as the
goods hold out. A dozen wagons will uo kept
busv bearing the clothing , groceries and good
things to eat to the huts and habi
tations of these who have been mi-
nblo to drive the wolf from the door.
it , is not too late to help these noble people
who have this work in hand. Contributions
of clothing , food , fuel or groceries will bo
thankfully received at the headquarters all
dav todao , and every article will bo conscien
tiously bestowed upon some deserving person
In need of help. The headquarters aio op-
postto the postolllco on Fifteenth .street.

Etui oT tlio Union I'aolllo'm Compact
\Vltli the Northwestern at II mil.
"Tho Union Pacific Uailway company is a
great contract maker and equally distin
guished as a contract breaker , " said a well
known Northwestern trafllc man to n BKK
correspondent on a Chicago , Buillngton &
Qulncy train comlntr out of Chicago yester
day. "You know how Gould trlod to craw
fish on the Adams' bridge agreement with
the Milwaukee. Well , the Northwestern Is
now having a nice little koltlo of llsh cooked
up for it.
"Before Charles Francis the First retired
from the nrosldcucv of the road two years
ago , I think \vo made a close trafllc agree
ment with the Union Paclllu on freight und
passenger ousines ? . A seciot circular was
issued by that company to its
local agents west of Omaha , In which
they were definitely instructed to divert nil
the business possible to our road. The trav-
( Jling agents of the Union Pacific took the
circular to all its agents clear-out to Port
land und after they had read it took the sig
nature of eao'i ' agent to u personal contract
with the management to give the Northwest
ern everything that was not dcllnitcly con
signed over some other road. Tlio agent was
expected to use his influence directly in our
favor wherever that was necessary. I sup
pose our agents had similar instructions with
rofoioncoto the Union Pacific. We have
boon going on delightfully and each line was
getting the bulk ot the business of the other.
"Tho Northwestern felt so sure of its
ground that tt did not consider it necessary
to bo clever to those Union Pa-
cillo agents. They could ask favors
and ho refused , because the tio-up was secure
and it was worth an agent's head to do any
thing in the passenger or freight line for any
of' our competitors. The Milwaukee , Uock
Island and Q. were disgusted of course , but
they always treated the boys well and man
aged to Keep thorn from tearing their shirts
about it when business did not go over the
Northwestern.
"But now. the relations are changed.
Uocently Chuuncoy Dopew nnd Vice Presi
dent Webb came to Chicago , and it was un
derstood arrangement ! would be made for a
through sleeping car route between New
York and San Francisco. It was blocked ,
however , by the fact that the transfer from
thi ) Lake Shore to the Northwestern depots
was inconvenient.
"Now comes a report to mo from an apent
in Nebraska , through a mutual friend , that
the Union Pneitlo men have just been out
giving the agents a new tip. They are told
that the Northwestern secret circular of two
years ago does not count and it is broadly
intimated that the Milwaukee is as gooa a
road as the Northwestern. A Milwaukee
man told mo the other day , when I was try-
inir to sound him , that his company would
hereafter get Us share of the business , and
ho said ho know a circular would soon go to
the Nobrasun agents couched In language
which could not bo misundei stood. I thought
ho was giving me a name of bluff , but hero
is a circular which I got in the passenger
ollico yosterdav which is a regular danger
signal. It does not say anything , but tbo in-
terence is clour.1
The circular announced a change of time
whereby trains should connect , with a regu
lar Milwaukee passenger east from Omaha.
The agent was Instructed not to overlook
the fact that close connections were made.
"Now I am persuaded tno through cur
deal will bo made via Pennsylvania , Mil
waukee and Union Pacific , thus leaving one
line out , and I rather expect there will bo
rnusiu in the uir when St. John and the
tialllc department bccoiflo satisfied that the
Union Pacific is not giving us a square deal
according to our compact. , "

Little Uoy FOK Is the main Witness In the
murder In which his mother was the victim
and his father the n < sussin.
Mr. Sherman , the eranMfathor of the boy ,
Is very averse to having the lad appear as a
witness , anil have the disagreeable feeling In
later years that ho helpad send tits own
father to the gallows. Mr. bliorman believes
that there Is evidence enough to convict Fox
without putting the hey on the witness
stand , i'lm prosecuting lawyer , however ,
will of course have the sny In the matter ,
The lad played a prominent part in the
awful tragedy. Ho says that when awai-
onod by the report of the revolver on the
morning of the assassination ho rushed out
Into tbo kitchen , Then ho saw his father
beating his mother over the head with a re
volver. In fright ho attempted to escape
through the kitchen door to run to his grand
father's. ' His father slezed > him by the arm
nnd throw him baoit Into a corner.
This momentary distraction of the mur
derer's attention afforded the unfortunate
wife a chance to escape through the door and
rush to her father's homo in her night clothes.
But the wounds she had already received
were mortal and her escape from being
brained gave nor only twelve more hours of
life and only a little over mi hour of con
sciousness.
Fox has admitted to Chief of Police Bron-
nun and u Bun reporter that ho shot his wife.
The confession was in each case voluntary.
Thosn confessions uro bolie'ved to bo sufll-
ciont to convict him , unless some tilck is re
sorted to byPtho defense to knock out this tes
timony ns was done in the case of Monday
McFarland , ono of the defendants in the
bhoedy murder case at Llnco.u.
JlivciillcH III Court.
"Jimmlo Agnew , do you know the nature
of an oath ! " nsneil Police Judge King of n
boy of 11 years who was on the witness stand
to testify In a case in which ho was the pris
oner.
"Yes , sir , " answered the boy.
"What arc theoffosts of swearing falsely J"
continued his honor.
"I would bo sent to the reform school , " an
swered the lad.
A broad smile went around the court room
at this reply.
An investigation of the case showed that
Jimmy was a budding young pugilist , proud
of his prowess and boasted of the fact , that
ho could "lick" any boy ot his ago i'n the
"bloody third" ward. In order to keep in
practice ho put young Daniel Connolly's eye
in mourning. As there wore no chances of
Daniel getting back at Jimmy by decorating1
his optio in a similar shape the seat of wor
was trans fcried to the police court. There
the 11-year-old offender was mulcted ? T.-0.
Uight on the hee ! of this case followed an
other in which Yoiiimerica played the
prominent part. Roy U'oodiing , a boy of 1'J ,
was the star. Ho did not boast of being u
bruiser , ns did Jimmio Agnew , but ho had
given it out cold "that no gals should ever
sass him. "
As a consequence when the 8-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Hobeck , a Bohemian ,
called him names ho kept true his threat and
administered a slap that knocked the young
toncno lasher down. Tbo girl ran to tell her
mother of the assault , and Mrs. Hobeclt
rushed out and cave the ungallant youth a
beating.
As n consequence both Uoy and Mrs. Ho-
bock were arrested , each on the charge of
assault and battery. To equnllro matters
Judge King charged each ? T.0 , and all par
ties. wont away satisfied.
Mysterious DiHnppi'urnnce.
Mrs. Snyder , who lives on O near Twenty-
lifth , has been very much concerned over the
mysterious disappearance of her husband.
Ho came homo from work nt ( judnhy's on
Sunday with a slight cut on ono of his hands.
Ho told his wife that ho was going to bunt
up a surgeon to dross tbo wound. He then
loft , and if the earth had swallowed him up
ho could not have disappeared more com
pletely. The anxious wife has waited in
vain to hear from him , and has been nearly
prostrated over the mysterious disappear
ance , imagining the numerous things that
are best known to femininity. Yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Snyder heard that her bus-
bi.nd had been scon in Council BlulTa.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Snyder have been married
only n few months.

that was n matter between the Omaha

The following review of the sentence in the
court martial case of Private Adam Herbert ,
who was tried for refusing to let the army
surgeons manipulate iv stiff linger , has been
issued from tno headquarters.
The sentence wns us follows :
"To forfeit to the United States * 1 of his
pay. The court is thus lenient on account of
the suffering of the accused , the numerous
operations already submitted to , and the fact
of his already having been recommended for
discharge. "
In the foregoing rase of Private Adam
Herbert , Company C , Twenty-first infantry ,
thu proceedings were returnou for revision
anil attention invited to the inadoqunp\
the punishment Imposed , The court , upon
revision , ndhered to its oriclnal sentence.

was ordered by the post surgeon to sub
mit , wns n minor oni > , and the purnoso of it
was , to use the Inngugo of circular 11 , A. G
O. , 1SS4 , "to enable him to perform the duties
for which ho enlisted. " The uvldunru shows
conclusively that tbo order was Inllv justl-
iled , and that the disobedience of the accused
was willful nnd deliberate. Thu court shoald
have Imposea un adequate punishment.
The proceedings and findings nro approved ,
The sentence is disapproved , nnd the court is
admonished that discipline- the army can

with its maintenance tail to perform their
whole duty. Private Herbert will bo released
from confinement.
