Tlio ivs ! Vnce of .lolin llcno en Prank
street wit * entered hv burglars Satnrdav
night. All the members of the fnmil > were
a\\a > from home , and the only | > ooplc in the
house were the two domestics , wtio were in
their room up stair * . Thej failed to lock
the side door when they went up stairs , and
someone , who was prowling aboui looking
foranlace to tnako a stake , found it out.
He opened the door and m.idc a thorough
s < saivh through the lower part of the house ,
and when ho want , took with him an over
coat and a line frock coat belonrinir to .tohn
Bono. Jr. . a fine music box , a silk
umhrulla nnd a lot of silverware.
He made his escape without being discov
ered , and the first thing the family knew of
the burglary was when they woke up In the
morning and found their property inlsslnir.
The loss was reported to the police about 11
o'clock yestenUo morning and n telephone
message was sent to Omaha nsklntr the
authorities of that place to ha on the look
out for any one with the mlsshiL' articles in
bin possession.
In IMS than an hour after thr loss was re
ported to the Council Bluffs police they were
notified that the thief had been i-aueht in
Omaha with the stolen property in his pos
session. Chief Scanlan and Oftlccr Murphy
went to Omaha in thu afternoon lo bring
thu prisoner back with them , in case lie
would leave Nebraska without rcuuisiiion
pa peis.
Jharics Kidd. alias Baldwin , was the name
given by the man captured b\ the Omaha of
ficials. Ho was u negro of uirantic build
and tough appeamnre Around his neck
was a tin which John Beno. Jr , said had be-
lonccd to him. Kidd replied when he was
asked where the necktie catno from , that he
bought it in Burlington , hat when he had
taken it off the name " .lohn Bcno .S : Co. "
was found stamped' on the back of it.
He had been picked up by the po
lice nt 11:43 : , Just after reach
ing the Nebraska side. Ho claimed to have
brought the armful of stolt-n properly all the
way from Chicago , but his ganio bcin ?
rather coan > ( ! he was run in. Ho refuse ! to
accompany S'canlan and Murphy back to this
side of the river until Ihei sborvod requisi
tion uapers. and told them they would have
to prove that the things \\cro stolen before
they could send him to thu penitentiary.
But little trouble is looked for in this , how
ever , for there is about as plain a case
against him as it is possiole to get.

It is better to be born with a head full
of ideas than to be burn heir to palaces
and land- ! and a chest full of doubloons.
At least so reasons C. U. 1) . Brown , who
is nmkiiiff the spread of his life. His
orders for the holiday season in oanJy.
in variegated colors , to be mudu ritrht in
hi- store room by thu best candy maker

uncled , cousins , aunts and the sisterof :
some other fellow , anil cheaper than
such s'.vcetti were ever before offered to
the ' public. Grocer Brown i-rmli-
dcn'ly expects to turn the heads
of all confectioners in friendly com
petition. This meansthe retail
of candies of every ues-eription at
one-half whole.-alc prices , and consequent
quent joy in every house where there
are little ones who want and expect a
box of sweetmeats Christmas nioruiiifr.
C. O. D. Brown also wishes it under
stood that his slash in prices on staple
and fancy groceries still continues.
Thrifty housewives can lind anything
they want for either the kitchen or table
calculated to tickle the palates of ex-
aulinfr hUfibaiids at his place of business.
Well , it is pretty well known that
Hrown sells goodu cheaper than any
body , and when he announces- that lie
intends to sell candies next week at . "IB
n pound it occasions no surprise. A
visit to his store alone is necessavy to
convince any one that the materials for
a Christmas dinner can bo | iurclmed of
him that would tempt King Solomon to
vacate his place iiinong the angels and
come down to enjoy it.

The threatened adva'n'4 < of 03 per cent In
fire Insurance rates has csnsed Omaha busi
ness men and property owners to indulge in
a job lot of ktcKs durinz the past week. The
result has been n number of conferences at
the Commercial club and elsewhere , where
the subject has been informally dlst-ussefl
Insurance men nave been besieged bj in
terested parties and Implored not to raise
the rates.
The basis of complaint on the part of the
insurance companies has bsen poor lire pro
tection , light water pressure and careless in
spection. The insurance men state that if
these evils could be remedied it would head
off the advance in rates. Accordingly the
businessmen hare put their thinking caps
on and have devised several schemes to re
move the cause of complaint.
The matter was first discussed at the last
general meeting of the Commercial club.
Since that date several "strictly
prhnto' ' conferences have been
held between certain business men
nd representatives of the Insurance com
panies. The subject of increased equipment
of the lire department nnd a bolter system
of inspection was heartily encouraged , and
some liberal minded business men were in
favor ot raising a popular fund to bay an
other tire engine anil present it to the city
of Omaha if the appropriation was not sum-
clcnt. This action , Vhey argued , woultl sive ;
them money tn the end aid would be cheaper
than an advance every ycnr in insurance
rates.
After CiKllltRii' * Scnlp.
But another scheme , and one that was in
stigated and boomed by certain insurance
men , was the reorganization of the tire de
partment. Jack Galligan , the present chief ,
was roasted to a finish and , whether or
not he will arise I'lia-nix-like from the ashes
will be determined by the attitude of busi
ness men who have bsen approached to go
into the combine for his removal.
It is said upon excellent authority that A
strong combination is rapidly being per
fected to pull Ualligan out'of hisrcd-wneelcd
buggy and retire him to the ranks of se
cluded citizenship. For some time a certain
organization has been nfter Galilean's scalp ,
but he has been keeping his hair cut rejn-
larli and keeping i close eye on the knives
ol Ins enemies. The salary ot the fire chief
is 'J.UOO good hard simoleons per year nnd
there area number of statesmen in Omaha
Just now who have almost lost
their eyesight looking for a
Job. The complaints asainst Gallisau
in the past have therefore received but lit
tle attention Irom the commissioners , who
did not feel disposed to remove him for
purely political or prejudiced reasons. I3ul
the prospective alliance of business men. in
surance agents and the Commercial cl'.ib
calling for a now fire chief , increase ! equip
ment and better inspection is assuming a
serious aspect for the , fire chief.
friends have placed their ears
to the cround during the mst week and h ar
unmistakable rumblings of a increment in a
political organization to install one of Its
members as his successor , but the mercan
tile-insurance combination has been worked
wltn such secrecy thiit but few people , In-
cludintr ( Mulligan himself , we-ro aware of its
existence until today. '
Mnvpd by I'lircatonril 'Itai e iu ISite4. :
'I he threatened advance m rates is the
sword of Damocles . which the insurance
agents nold in elusu proximity to the neck of
business men. The tatter complain of the
stringent times and. nrotest. Finally the
promise is made that'if , ' the department is
put on a better basis ttrfighting lire the
rates will not bd increased. Naturally the
merchants got n move' on themselves and
after discussiugjthe matter some of them
have concluded to Jain hands with the insur
ance men and demand the st-ali ) of Galligan.
together with a grand chorus for more en
gines and adequate water pressure.
The insurance men claim that a younger
ami more competent man should succeed
Galligan. They say that when the German
editors were here last summer lie used
shocking profanity 1D their presence while
dircctimran exhibition of the department
for the benefit of the visitors. The head
pushfrs in the movement to down the chief
cite that the rank and file of the department
are all right , but need a new boss.
A BEE representative saw Chairman Gib
bon of the executive committee of the Com
mercial club today. Mr. Gibbou said that
he had given the question some considera
tion. He had been approached by certain
parties to encourage a movement for the re
organization of the fire department. Per
sonally he was not prejudiced against Chief
Galligan and believed that he did
the best ho could , fialligan , he coa-
linucd , was superannuated and had
seen liis best days , but he would rather
have Galligan retained than to MP
him succeeded by a politician. He pre
ferred a broken down fireman to a broken
down politician. What Omaha needed was
a man who possessed physical power , good
knowledge of buildings , how to handle a fire
without so much loss of life and property
in fact , a practical man who would irive gen
eral satisfaction and less cause forcomplaint
among the insurance men. He feared that
even if Galligan was removed lie would bo
supplanted by a political IIUCK who couldn't
fight a fire. Unless he was assured to the
contrary ne would not encourage
dismissal.
Commissioner Utt verified the rumor that
members of the Commercialcjub were pranc
ing around with treed sized war clubs and
that they were shouting for a reorganisa
tion of the firn department.
Fire Commissioner Hartmau did not want
to discuss the subject , but finally admitted
that insurance men and merchants were now
after Galligan.
Condun nail Palmer I'uihlne tint Srlirinr.
James Condon of McShane A : Condon and
Captain Palmer seem to be Icadinc the fight
for the Insurance agents. Mr. Condon has
expressed his disapproval of Galligan's
method of fighting fires , Ho regarded Jack
as a great dress parade chief , but pointed to
the records of recent big fires wheri > the
efforts scemod to oe directed entirely to
saving surrounding property and let the
blazing building bo totally destroyed. Ho
thought that the firemen were all right , but
they needed a now man to
instruct them. This seemed to bo the con
census of opinion among insurance men \vho
art ) evidently all on the warpath.
Chief Galligan when asked about the mat
ter replied that ho was aivaru that
many sniomes had , from' time to time , been
kprung to have him rcmo'ved. He BaH that
ho was doing his best' to render good service
with the facilities at Ills couimaud. He w ; < s
not responsible for waterpressure. In con
clusion he said that ex-Bicrin" | Bennett and
un insurance man named l.yon were
bath alter his position. Possibly , the bos-
tility 01 the insurance m u and others could
bo traced to one of these. He would con
tinue to do his duty as long as he retained
the position. , . M
