The celebrated chicken thief case from
Albright U settled as fur ns tbo Dougla :
county courts urc concerned. William Hide ,
ono of the thieves , was tried nnd convlctc
last week , and Is now in th
county Jail awaiting sontouco. Thl
morning , " Frank Nice , another o
the gang , withdraw bis plea of no
guiliy end pleaded guilty to tno charge o ,
burglary. Willis illdo. tbo third member o :
the gang , turned state's evidence on bis part
ners and wns reworded by the count )
attorney entering a nolle in the case aj fur as
ho was concerned.
That this case has boon an expensive on
there can bo but little doubt. While tbl
Is true evenhanded Justice has hooi
meted out and the taxpayers will smll
when Ihoy know what tboso chickens hav
cost tba county.
Tno lonir and short of the whole matter
that tbo farmers nbout Albright were
annoyed by chicken thiovcs. Almost nlgbtl ;
the henhouses were raided. Forboarano
ceased to be a vlr'uoand at lust Nlco and th
two Hide boy * were arrested on the chargi
of burglary Tbo arrest wns nttondei
with results ns twelve chickens , which won
identified , were found In iho possession o
the young men. They were tried in polio
court In South Omaha and just forty-on
days ago Ihoy entered iho county jail , when
they have since boarded.
Now that iho cases aealnst them have bee
disposed of it is of Interest to iho publl
to know how much it has cost t
got oven with the men who committee
the heinous crime of stealing twelve hens.
According to the latest and most rellabl
market quotation * the hens were worth , 1.
fat , 21 CCUM each , or ftl in tbo ugcregato. In
the lower court the arrest and the attend
ing costs footed up to $30. Then tbo youug
men became boarders ot iho counly jail.
There thn Doard bill has. bcon ! 13
cents per day o.ich. making n
total of fUi.05. Next came the
district court costs , and ns Ibo men were not
wealthy an attorney was appointed to uo-
fond. The courts have established a 20 fee
in misdemeanor cases , und as Ibo attorney In
those cose * was up to snuff ho demanded
separata trials , which meant $73 for legal
orvlcoi. Thl * , however , does not settle tbo
too bill , for the county has had to
stand iho expense of paying Iho

In iho case acalnsl William Hldo , who 'was

NEBRASKA UNDERTAKERS IN SESSION
Sc\cnti ) Annual Convention at the Stnto

ton ot Lincoln.

by Kav. Charles W. Savidgo of this city.
Tha address of welcome was delivered by
Mayor Bcimis. He stated that there were a
number of mossbacks m Omaha , who ought ,
for the city's good , to bavo the
Itontion of ono or moro members
f the Funeral Directors association ,
n referring to Omaha's present nnd proapeo-
Ivo prosperity , ho spoke of the Nebraska
Central proposition soon to bo submitted to
ho voters of the city , and sold that it would
go thiough with a wlioon. Ho cordially
xtonded to the visitors the freedom of the
Ity.
Will Cheerfully Plant Kin.
George Brown of Superior , ox-prosl- '
lent of the association , responded. Ho
tatcd that ihoro was no class except iho
ihyslclans who did moro charily work than
ho undertakers. He thought that thu un
dertakers of today raujl be able to do somo-
hlng moro ihan to screw down the lid of a
coffin. Ho must bo an educator , a sanitarian
and an cmbaliuer. Ho must bo ublo to preserve -
servo a body and to take intelligent etcps to
prevent tbo spread of disease.
As for the necessity of a few first class fu
nerals in Omaha ho was sure that tbo under-
alters would take care of them if Iho mayor
would only furnish the subjects. Ho said
.hat the state funeral directors well knew of
ho hospitality of Omaha , as they had been
icro before. They ivoro always glad to
como hnro nnd sorry lo leave.
Before leaving the mayor gave the socro-
ar.v for distribution a number of tno city
advertising cards gotten out by iho Real
"Cstato Owners association.

mittco on now applications for membership :

Dill , Pawnee City.
More Inducement * to Die.
After a short recess , duilng which the
members surrendered $3 each at the re
questor the secretary , Mr. Brown read a
: > apor on "Tho Demand for Better Goods. "
Ho raid that men in all other lines could in
crease their volume of business , but under
takers could not increase their number of
casesi They must therefore sell batter
goods , in which there was moro money than
cheap goods , and in order lo do this must
educate Iho pcoplo in thut direction. Ho
did not believe in urgintr a family to go
joyond their means , but , where they were
Innnclally abln ho inought it filling for them
to expend money for this purpose. As o
means of accomplishing this end , ho urged
the use of a casket cabinet lo snow goods ,
and by rnoutis of a sot of nlaas and figures on
lumber demonstrated how tno mnallost un
dertaker could afford to have one.
Henry Boyle of Ravenna was on the uro-
gratnforan address , bul as ho baa not ar
rived an * adjournment was taken until 2

Then tiio questions of the quiz class at

Quito a discussion ensued as to what was
tbo proper thing at a double funeral

For keeping the eye of u corpse closed Mr

The special committee appointed by the
Bor.rd ot Trade sorao tlmo ago to collect
flMros Illustrative of the growth nnd pros-
pot Ity of tbo city has handed in its report.
The Improvements nt the packing bousos
nnd stock ynrds are considered in detail nnd
the results show a dcgrco of development
that has scarcely bcon equalled in the same
length of tlmo by any city in the world. The
report concludes as follo'vs ;
"Scarealy olgitt yoirs ago the slto where

00,001) ) carloads of trnftlo are annually han

been expended in beautifying , nearly five
miles of water mains , olectrlo street rail
ways connecting with all the Omaha and
Council Bluffs lines , is on the main line often
ton railroads and Is the third packing center
of America. The magnitude of looiil busi
ness may bo realized when it is considered
that 50,000 sheep , 500.00J cattle and 1.500.00D
hoes arc annually slaughtered In this civv ;
that it requires 35,000 cars yearly to ship the
packing house product * , valued at nearly
J50.000.000 , and that the citv banks have fre
quently done moro than $4,000,000 in business
on ono day. The packing houses alone use
3,500 boxes and I.UOO bairols dally nnd con
sume nearly 1,500 boxes of tin a week. The
area of the lloors In tbo packing houses Is
nearly 100 acres. The city has at. effective
police force , has an efficient flro department ,
supplied with two teams nnd complete fire
men's outfits &nd an electric IIro alurnl sys
tem covering the entire city. And be it said
"
to the credit of the clly nnd" citizens , scarcely
a business failure mars the record.
'With assurances , that leave no doubt In
the minds of informed persons , that other
improvements quito as extensive , costing
fully as much nnd of ns much interest as
those mentioned will bo made this year nnd
that nrivnto improvements costing fqlly
800,000 will form the record ot IS'JJ , clvo

New Yonic , Juno 7. A clever schema to
beat several first class hotels in this city was
unfolded nt Jefferson Market yesterday.
Although the pilfering has bcon going on forever
over six months , it was only discovered tbo
other day by Proprietor Taylor of the St.
Denis. In December last n small parcel was
luft by a stranger , nnd n metal chock given In
exchange for it. A few days after the
stranger returned for It , saying ho had lost
the check , but ns onotbor clerk was on duty
the package was refused. Proprietor Tay
lor found It contained nn "Auploton's Gtildo"
stuffed with dlamo.ids , jewelry and pnwn
tickets , nnd locked It In his safe. The parcel
remained thcro until last Thursday , when
Turlor learned that stronuom efforts wcro
being made to recover It. Then ho reported
thn matter to Inspector Stcoro.
Tha tlrst clew was obtained from n metal
chock manufacturer , who said ho had re
ceived an order for several hundred checks
from the St. Denis , taut Manager Taylor
donlod giving the order. Having obtained
a good description of the customer , the de
tectives then visited the Cortlandt Printing
company of ( U Cortlandt street , where they
found the same man hud ordered 2,000 dinner
cnocks on the Gllaoy house. The man was
recognized as Nathaniel AKorninn. 11 green

gave the names of his confederates ns Burl
Burrows , the chock clorx of thoSt. Douls ; Or-
rln J. Ott.cashlcrlnlhoGilso.vhousocafn , and
Charles Lowe , assistant cashier in the sumo
hotel , Ott and Burrows were nrrested , but
Lowe lied. Akcrmun told that their scheme
was to give the bacago chocks to express
companies for collection of the baggage ,
while dinner chocks were used in the Gilsny
cafe. When tbo checks were for largo
amounts , Ott slipped smaller ones into the
till , pocketing the balance. Manager Brock-
way savs that 500 checks have bcon thus
disposed of at a loss of $1,000 to $1,200 to the
