The day was in that transitory state
when twilight lingers In the lap of day and
darkness struggles for the ascendancy. The
sun hung in a great red ball of lurid flame
betwixt heaven and earth ; there was a feel
ing of profound quiet which scorned to settle
on all things animate and Inanimate. The
birds , the insects , the very trees and sprout
ing plants wcro for the moment hushed as if
In expectancy of some unforaecn , some Inex
plicable something which seemed to per
vade the very atmosphere. A bull frog gur
gled softly ns ho fell back into the limpid
water. Suddenly , over the brow of a distant
hill , there appeared n solitary man , seated
astride a great bay horse ; ho cast ono long
sweeping glance around him and then went
fcack over the brow of the hill again. And
flhat same night over 700 pcoplo wcro turned
away unable to gain admission to the opera
Tiouso whore "Sho Couldn't ' Marry Three"
was being played to the most delighted au
dience of the season.

PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST.
Objection * to tlm Manner of Asseaimont
far OjionliiK Hovrnlueutli btroot.
Some of the property owners on South
Seventeenth street arc up in arms over what
tho.v assert is an unjust taxation for the
opening , widening and extending of thai
thoroughfare from Castcllar to Vlnton
streets. They uro inquiring the reasons for
the assessments as made and uro entering a
vigorous protest.
Although the street la opened only from
Castolhir to Vinton the plan of assessment
ns approved by the council September ' 'U is
made on the property nbuntlng on the
street from the Burlington tracks to the
north line ol Cpttugo park. The plan Is as
follows :
Castellar to Vlnton , 1,903 , foot , at 51.25 per
foot , tJ.-l05.23.
Castellar Jo Burlington tracks , GSS3 ! feet ,
at 20 cents per foot , Sl.-W.O. .
Vlnton to Cottage park , 0,294 feot. at
S0.2S93 per foot , Sl.bltUD.
This makes a total of $5.r 51 in damages
for property taken.
Inquiry at the city engineering department
discloses the fact that this plan of assess.
ment was recommended by the council sit
ting as a bpard of equalization August 11
when a former plan assessing the entire
amount against the property abutting am
abounding between Castellar and Vinton was
rejected because of the vigorous protests on
tercd. It is threatened by the property
owners north of Custellar and south of Via

JTLEECED A FARMER ,
Two Smooth Confidence Men Successfully
Work nil GUI Ilncket ,
A brilliant example of suburban justice
was disclosed In the course of'a tale of woo
that was unfolded at police headquarters
last evening. The * narratorwasG.W. . Mor
gan , a farmer , who posed ns another victim
of a very old confidence Game. Ho had the
good luck to land the swindlers in jail , from
which they wcro quickly released through
the blunder of n country justtcoof the peace.
Morgan resides about live miles northwest
of 'Louisville ' , In Sarpy county , and two
weeks ago yesterday was on his rctuin from
a visit with relatives at Carroll , In. Ho
journeyed safely until two slick appearing
individuals boarded the train and ono of
them soon engaged him in conversation.
Morgan had his two little girls with him and
the stranger nt once stepped into his good
graces hy well directed compliments be
stowed upon the children.
The stranger was a largo man with a
heavy red mustache. Ho claimed to bo a
wholesale merchant in Omaha and said that
he WHS returning from a trip to Boonu , la.
Finding that Morgan lived near Louisville ,
ho Inquired the names of some of the busi
ness men there am ! then still further in
gratiated himself Into the confidence ot the
rustic by declaring that ho was in the liubit
of selling largo bills of goods to them and
was delighted to meet a mutual friend.
At this stage In the gnmo a smaller man
entered and the two strangers greeted each
other cordially. From then on it was the
old army game and Morgan was the sucker.
Ho advanced $ il3 on a check for $720 on the
Lincoln National bank which was signed by
"Homer & Son. " As soon ns thuy obtained
the money the sharpers went Into the bag
gage car and left the train nt Valley. The
farmer discovered that ho had been Imposed
on and started on their trail. Ho overhauled
them at Council Bluffs , whcro they wcro ar
rested by the local police. Ono of them
turned out to bo Harry Hamilton , ono of the
best known confidence men m the west , but
the big man was a stranger. As the crlmo
was committed at Valley the prisoners were
sent back tliero for examination. Morgan
and his little girl nosltivcly identified them
ns the men who had robbed him , and the
baggageman on the train corroborated their
testimony. Nevertheless , the Justice of tno
peace , who is also mayor of Valley , con
cluded that there was no evidence on which
tohold the swindlers and-thoy were , both
released. The police of Omalia and Council
Bluffs are looking for them , but it is be
lieved that they will tibt" stay to take
chances on llnding another court so accom
modating as the Valley justice shop ,
Harry Hamilton was sent _ to the pen from
Omaha for a similar crlmo , and was released
about a year ago. Ho declared tnat he had
reformed and has been let alone by the
police. This is the first trick that ho has
been caught at since. .
DR. SLEEPER'S RIGHTS.
Claims of an Oinnhn Inventor of a Mng-
nctlu Treatment System.
In a half.column . article that appeared in
the Philadelphia Hecord _ a short time ago
Dr. A. d' Arsonval. a French inventor and
physician of nigh repute , was proclaimed to
bo the originator of a magnetic appliance ,
consistlnc of n glass or wooden cylinder ,
around which Is wound ono or moro layers
of light electric light cable.
"This " the Hecord "constitutes
, says , a
sort of solenoid , in the interior of which n
patient to bo treated is placed. The French
inventor claims that by thus subjecting the
patient to the Influence of the oscillating
waves of magnetic fluid wonderful thera
peutic phenomena nro produced , noticeably
among which js the Incrcaso of physical
nutrition in the patient. "
It seems , however , that Omaha Is in a
position to dispute a part of the claim or
the Ilccord , Insofar ns the origin of the In
vention Is concerned , for Dr. C. L. Sleeper
of thls'city insists that ho Is the inventor of
this system of magnetic treatment , and has
been operating nn institute hero for the
treatment of cases In this manner for moi-o
than a year.
In speaking of the matter , Dr. Sleeper said
that ho had been pursuing experiments In
this direction for moro than twenty years ,
and over since the fall of 18SS has
had ono of the solenoids , mentioned
in the Uecord article , in his own houso. Ho
said that a description of the mechanical
construction of his anplianco was minutely
detailed in the May number , of the Omaha
Clinic , and ho was of the opinion that It
would have been nn easy matter for any
physician to have constructed ono like it
from that description. About two years ago ,
ho fllod an application for a patent at the
patent ofllco at Washington , sjnco which
time ho has been using the appliance for the
treatment of disease , and with most flatter
ing results. Dr , Sleeper feels that what
ever credit Is duo for thlsolcetrle.il inven
tion properly belongs to him , and ho is un
willing to have it unjustly accorded to an
other.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK AMONG WORKWOMEN
State Labor Coiigrou Will Meet lit Till *
CltjT-SparM from the Anvil-Newt
of Interest to Men of
- Muscle ,
The last year 'ins ' witnessed .1 largo increase -
crease In the . .icnibcrshlp of the various
labor organizations of iho city. Many of
the leadluR local labor leaders predict that
next .year will bo oven bolter , ns they claim
the principles they nro teaching are being
bettor understood and accepted every day.
Another thing that Is claimed will help to
build up the organizations In ttio future In
Omaha Is the fact that they nro all trying
to pull together harmoniously and help ono
another. As an Illustration In the way they
do business now , If a local union or assembly
has trouble that needs adjustment ,
a trial Is Ural made by the single orgiulz.i- :
lion to settle the matter , and If It f.ills
the grievance , with full particulars , Is then
referred to the Central Labor union which
Is composed of thruo members from each of
the various unions and assemblies > n this
city and South Omnha. It will readily bo
seen that the contra ! body , being made up of
three of the most experienced men of each
organization , Is a. vnry deliberative body and
will not"plungo hastily Into anything , and
especially whcro there Is the slightest doubt
about the justness of the stand taken
by iho organization which brings
In the troublo. In this manner many of the
conflicts between employer and employe nro
amicably settled without hostilities or radi
cal action , which have always heretofore
prevailed whim dlfllcultlcs were handled by
inexperienced men. The emergency or
grievance committee Is composed ot men
who have been members of the central or
ganization at least ono year. This commit
tee claims to bo entirely impartial In all
matters and says it will protect tno Inter
ests of tin honest employer as quickly as the
employe. _

Criticised n Iteccnt Decision.
In a case lately broughtbefore the supreme
court of Pennsylvania the court decided that
"Where youns persons without experience
are cmuloycd to do work at dangerous ma
chines the employer must glvo suitable In
structions as to the manner of using them ,
'and warning as to the danger of careless
ness , and If ho ticglects such or gives Im
proper instructions , ho is liable , if t > y reason
thereof injury results to the employe. "
Tills might bo construed very widely , but
the Machine Wood Workers' Journal inter
prets It as follows :
In other words a mill owner may take a
youiiR person and place him besldo a ripsaw ,
ulvo suitable Instructions tind warn him that.
If his hand comes In con tart with Iho revolvlnc
saw It will bo bad fur Iho hand , and then con
sider himself as having compiled with the ro-
( ] iiireiuonls of the law nccordlnK to the decision
of t'lo supreme court ot Pennsylvania. If tliu
youtip'porson sailors Injury through lno.\iiorl-
cnco no has himself to bhur.e. Ills em ploy of
guvo him suitable Instructions and warned
him of the danger of the machine.Wo Infer
from the ubovo decision that a middle-aged or
elclorJy por.son may ho put ( o \ > ork at ilangur-
on.s machines without receiving suitable In

There Is no ono class ot mechanics who

ment at something else.
Ninety per cent of the energy In coal li
lost in converting it Into power. It goes off

manufactured by electric or steam power.
Safety matches that can ho Used without

middle and rub the ends together.

Joseph Schcld ot the Carriage and Wagon
Workers union is being talked of as a candidate -
didato for the Central Labor union presi
dency. Ills friends say that ho Is entirely
Impartial and well qualified to fill that Im
portant position. However , there are many
who think that "ono good turn deserves
another , " and that Leo Hartley should bo
ro-clcctod. Out of something over a half
dozen candidates , all of whom are well
qualified , there should ho no trouble in
securing a good presiding ofllcer.
A telegraph operator , who was accustomed
to woric from fourteen to eighteen hours per

ployed him for extra compensation for all
hours above ten per day. What is moro ho
has s'ucceedel in recovering. This Is a
righteous decision , and altogether In th i in
terest of the public as well as the operator.
Companies which overwork their telegraph
operators or switchmen are apt to have a
succession of bad accidents from the fact
that.the employes break down under the
severe strain.

eonioon behalf of iho mlnlsiurj of Omaha
and Council Bluffs , and Hov. Dr. J. W.
Shank , editor of the Christian Advocate , ei-
tended the greetings of the laymen.
Bishop Nowinan , In responding , took occa
sion to say In the first plnco thlit he was
happy to annoutico that all wns qulot
on tno Sandwich Islands. "I bo-
love , " ho continued , "that OreshnnA
letter is tlio groalc-st hoax of the gonorC

the subject of Hawaii to express his hanpf * ]
ness that ho and Mrs. Nowmnn had safely fd-i

Bishop Wnldon , In returning his thnnka
for iho welcome extended him , said that the

would long remember the cordial hospitality
shown them by the people of Omaha. Ho
imagined that delegates from lltu fur east
were about as much surprised when the *
got out hero as Englishmen wcro who last

lion to the fact that Nebraska Is ono of thb
Methodist states of the union ; Unit Is , OHO
in which the members of iho Methodist
church outnumber the combined member"-
ship of any three other denominations. This ,
fact explained the deep Interest ttio Metho
