There Is no way of estimating the number of those who will bo present , but 2COO are expected. These for the most part will be New Englandcrs and residents of the Atlantic states , all of whom pay their own way while In the city. The only ones for \vliom the local committee has provided any entertainment arc the homo missionaries In the youiiR and struggling communities In western Nebraska and the adjoining states. Kor these this , the first meeting of the so ciety west of New York , Is an event of considerable Importance. The Home Missionary society has rendered possible the churches and parsonages which they have been struggling to build and n special effort will be made by them to meet the generous easterners who have given them their en couragement and assistance.

The drive about the city will take place at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon , the start being made from the Mlllard. The route chosen will take the visitors over the leadIng - Ing streets and through the most Interesting portions of the city , north and bouth , but the committee has been thoughtful enough to so arrange It that none will bo too tired to attend th'o recaption to be held In the evening. On the trip a stop will bo made at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church , where the ladles of the congregation will nerve suitable refreshments and a social time will be had. To greet the guests at the depot twenty parties , with appropriate badges , have been selected , who will servo as a welcoming committee and an escort to the church.

I'mtal Clerk I'lynti Arrrntcil on Clown IVorlcpil by Throe Inspectors , Walter II , 1'lynn , a railway postal clerk , was arrested by government officials In Lin coln Saturday night on the charge of open ing registered letters and stealing their con tents. For some time the postofdcc authori ties had bern on the trail of the thief , but were unable to Bccuro any clew. Inspectors from the Denver , ( ontana and St. Louis di visions went to work , and all their clews led them to Lincoln , where Flynn was finally caught. The accused Is alleged tc have cnnfcsrcd to having taken about $30 ( from different letters and three separate cases have been worked up against him , Flynn Is a young man , and hla home Is In Deadwood , where his parents reside. The Inspectors allege that Flynn's thieving opsra tlons have been going on for n year , anil they haVe nlxtcen charges which will bo pre ferred against the prisoner. Flynn tried to work a bluff on the oincers , but when they confronted htm with conclusive evidence against him , ho weakened and confessed that he had taken the cash and spent It In Lincoln. It Is said that Flynn was some what of a would-bo swell , and did not live within his salary. This probably led him to commit the crime of theft. IVili-rhl Court Notes. Indictments were returned yesterday In the federal court against Carrie Hart of this city , charging her with passing and having In her possession counterfeit money. Carrie was arraigned before Judge Dundy and pleaded not guilty. The granil jury returned a true bill against N. T. Gadd , a former employe of the land oHlco at Broken How. who Is charged with embezzling about $2GOn of the government fumK Ills friends made gocd the shortage , but the government officials thought that his acts should not go unpunlihcd and they pave the facts In the case to the grand Jury with the above result. OacM entered a plea of not guilty and his case was placed on the docket for trial. The Jury In the case of George Sterling , who Is charged with burglarizing the North Platte postolllco , received Its instructions from Judge Dundy In the federal court yes terday afternoon , and after being out about fifteen minutes returned a verdict of guilty. The lowest sentence that Sterling can get Is a heavy fine and Imprisonment for a year , but there was such a strong case made out against him that he will probably receive little leniency. It Is alleged by the officers who worked up the evidence against the accused that this Is not the first Job Sterling has done of this character. The federal grand jury had to adjourn un til June 25 on account of a lack of funds provided for paying witnesses , and the petit jury will have to adjourn for a week or ten days on the same account. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Hush said that he thought that the matter would soon be arranged so that ample funds would be placed at their disposal to try the remainder of the cases. Some violations of the postal laws by local parties will be Investigated. Balloon ascension , Courtland beach. TIMir Jioaujcs AUK itux j.v. It Is In the private office of the chief of detectives of a western city. A mysterious murder has been committed and Ofllcers Sleuth , Sneak and Tracem have been de tailed to "work on the case , " says the Cleve land Plain Dealer. Chief Oflicor Sleuth , what success have you to report ? "But partial success , captain. " "You located the scene accurately ? " "Yes , sir. The body was found with two bullet hcles through the back. There was no. weapon abpul the body and the house was ransacked > r " ' * "Thero cnn be no mistake about this. Of ficer Sleuth ? " "None whatever , captain ! . It Is quite plain a murder has been committed " 'Chief ' Ofllccr Sneak , what success have you to report ? Oflleor Sneak Officer Tracem and 1 worked together ; whllo 'Lieutenant Sleuth went In side "How long was this after the body was found ? " "Supposed to bo about sevcu hours , sir. As the lieutenant went Inside'wo walked three times carefully around the huuse ; we took accurate measurements of the wood shed door nd noted the color of the paint on the gate post and gathered such other clews as we thought might be useful at the trial " "And did you see no susplcjqus persons ? " "Made ono arrest , sir a * boy fully 11 years old having bloody Iwmlsi- ' , "Was ho run In ? " i "No ; I held thn nippers on him till Sleuth and Tracem got him handcuffed , when " "When what ? Quick ! " "When ho convinced us that he had been carrying a 5-cent soup bone homo to his grandmother , and that's how the blood got on his hands. " "Any more arrests ? " "Yes , sir Just as wo were measuring the chimney to determine If the murderer could have escaped that way wo noticed a boy who wore a white muslin hhlrt " "And you arrested him ? " "Certainly ! The coipse also had on a white muslin shirt , and hero was a clew , sure enough. We all three put the nippers on him until ho could be handcuffed " . "What was his age ? " "Ho was all of 7 years old " "Where is ho now ? " "Oh , ho proved to be the grandson of the murdered man , and we felt justified In let ting him off , though the lieutenant gave him a sharp lecture " ' . 'Is that all ? " "That Is as far as we have got with the case , captain , though wo think v > o can es tablish that a street car passed the house some time In the night ; a milk wagon passed next morning , and the wind was blowing from the northwest at the time. " Chief Gentlemen , you are doing splen didly ; such conduct will add luster to our record for clllelency. Now It la fairly es tablished that the m\n was killed though this will be verified by an autopsy by the police surgeon ; It is fairly certain that he was killed at homo and that he was not killed before coming homo ; with the meas urements of the woodshed door , the dlrec- of the wind , the milkman Incident and the two suspicious arrests there ought to bo no dllllculty In running the perpe trators to earth , though ono Important clew may have escaped you. You should have noted whether the bricks of the pavement showed signs of having been recently tramped upon. I an ) proud of your success , gentlemen , and you will doubtless soon re ceive promotion.

INQUIRY TO COMMENCE 1IIIS LVENING Conduct of Onicrrs at CoHanum Will Also Come Under Hcrntlny Semojr lli'com- niendii Abolition of 1'oiltlon of Chief DetectUe Coburn'g Complaint. An Investigation of the charges made by The Bee against the police detective depart ment and of the conduct of the officers left at the Coliseum after the Thurston Rifles' flag presentation on Monday night of last week was resolved on by the fire and police commissioners at the meeting of the board lost night. Commissioner Smith Introduced the resolution , and the Investigation will be gin tonight. The first feature of the seislon wm a read ing of charge. ] against Sergeant Sheep , made by Chief Seavey , who stated that the ser geant disobeyed and neglected his duties on the night of May 28 , when Shaop was In charge of a detail of eight pollcemun which had been assigned to duty at the Coliseum on that night. The chief ordered Shonp to take a sufflc-lent number of men ro the Coli seum to maintain order there whllo the program arranged for the presentation of the flag to the Rifles took place. Sheep did this , but he also detailed four of the men to remain on duty at this place all night , which they did. All this was contrary to the outers of the chief , who Instructed the sergeant to put the men back on their beats as scon as the exercises were over at this place. Shoap offered as an explan ation of hta disregard of the chief's orders a letter from Captain Sclmrff of the Thurs ton Rifles , In which he said he was responsi ble for asking Sheep to leave a number of officers at the Coliseum to guard the prop erty of the Rifles , which was left there under a guard of fifteen men detailed from the company of Rifles. Sheep said that ho granted the request of the captain In spite of the orders given him by a superior officer. DCNY THUY DRANK LIQUOR. Then the chief called attention to the scandal created by the conduct of both guards and officers. These ofilcers made a written statement to the chief. They are Olllcc.rs Arnold , Clarkl Brady and Bo\'er. ) Each sf them denied that he drank anything iVhllo on duty at the Coliseum , but acknowl edged that ho understood that lhe.rovas . a considerable quantity of beer In the dressing rooms of the building. All heard the guards shooting blank cartrldges. bul said that they did not place them under'arrest , as the'.lieu tenant of the company took the men In charge. The policemen said that If liquor was drank It was by the members of the militia company and not by them. They explained the noise made by Intimating that the youthful soldiers were only having a "good time. " Then Commissioner Sniltln re marked that It was about time for the board to take a hand in the matter and give the police department a general cleaning up , ind he Introduced his resolution , which was adopted. Commissioner Strlckler demanded to know What the special committee , composed of Mr. Coburn and Chief Seavey , appointed to nvestlgate the charges made against the letcctlve department by The Bee had done or If it had any report to make. Commis sioner Coburn said that he declined to act any further on this committee and he did lot propose to make any individual Investlga- : lon Into these charges as he considered t a mutter \\hlch concerned the whole board and thought that the board should investi gate at once. Then Chief Seavey recommended that the office of chief of detectives be abolished and : hat Chief Haze be made a sergeant on the lollce force. The chief also recommended : hat several ofilcers whom he did not pub- lely name bo dismissed from the force for ; eneral Incompetency , as they were not good olHctrs and never would amount to anything ' is policemen. HP suggested that the c'om- mlSFlouers take the matter up at once and Inquire Into the qualifications of these men. All these matters were deferred for con sideration until the board went into execu- .Ive session. In executls'e session everything Aas laid over until the special' ' meeting which t will hold this evening. HOOTINR BUSINESS. ' Mounted Officer Haze and Firemen Mc- Gulro and GeUschmau were granted ten days leave of absence. The council requested the board to re quire the police department to act in co operation-with the Board of Health In sup pressing nuisances and enforcing the health ordinances. George C. Ford , a special policeman at Hayden Die ? . ' store , resigned : * " * ! , j Police Judge Berka called the attention of the commissioners to section 147 of 'the ' city charter , relative to the acceptance , of jail by the chief of police or his dep'utlob , where prisoners are charged with bailable offenses , and to the orderof the chief re voking the power of his dcirtltfes to aciiept jail from any prisoner. This causes 'the ' friends of prisoners to call the judge up at nil hours of the night to got him to''rclt'1age .hese persons under arre&t. Officer Mitchell submitted a communication complaining to the board that the cityprose cuter \\ould not co-operate vlth hfm In en forcing the city ordinances after ho hadar- | rested'and worked up a case against TlmoJhy Kelly for building a wooden sidewalk at the corner of Thirteenth and Chicago streets. The matter' was , referred ta , the maybr. , Cominlssfoner Coburn declined to approve a livery bill for $5 Incurred by Chief De tective Haze In trying to recapture James Noland , who escaped from the 'detective while ho was asleep at South Omaha on 'his ' way to this city. Haze bnld In his communi cation that Commissioner Strlckler advised him to present the hill to the boai'd. Cdm- mUsloner Smith said he was not In favor of allowing any bills which the officer had In curred through his own caielessne.sa. Strlckler and Smith of the finance com- nlttpe recommended that Clilef Seavey ba ul- oWed $50 per month for epeclal detective work , such as securing evidence against gamblers and lottery dealer * . COUURN IS AFTER HIM. Commissioner Coburn , Who is also a mem- > er of this committee , made an unfavorable report In the matter and said that "ho nould vote against any such appropriation , not only because he was of the opinion that .hoy had no authority for such action , but 10 thought that UIQ money could be better expended , lie was quite certain that the city wanted no more detectlvu work , such as occurred yesterday , when an officer , whom 10 would name when the pioper time came , committed a most outrageous and entirely mcalled for act. This officer saw a case of jeer delivered at the house of one of the most respectable and worthy fumllles In Omaha yesterday afternoon. The commis sioner said ho was not certain whether the officer saw the case of beer dellveicd or just leard of It , but at any rate this fellow went up to the house , called upon the lady of the louse and demanded that slio show film her marriage license. The woman was over come with mortification , and the commis sioner said that he would not have been surprised , after learning of the matter , If he officer had arrested the woman then and hero. Mr. Coburn denounced the act aa a damnable outrage and he spoke In no un certain terms when he said that this case would be called before the police board as soon as It could got time to hear It , , [ On the request of Stricklcr the committee j 1 withdraw Its recommendation ot a fund for Bpeclnl detectlvpnrork. The committee ? on lawi nnd regulations reported that Itt Had examined Into the troubles exlstlnpnaiiioiig the firemen on ac count of dlpfltUUfHollon over matters In the board of directors of the Paid Firemen's Benevolent OMoMntlon and that as the as sociation was an Incorporated concern the commissioners Iwl no right to take any action In the matter. This leaves the trouble to bo settled In tlic- courts , where the facts In the case will > .bo Riven an airing. Ofllcers 3. S.Dlummy and Kelly and Flrcmnn RamgeMvare allowed pay for the time they lost while ? off duty because of In juries received while attending to their duties. The request of Chief dalllgan for three additional firemen was refused because ot a lack ot funds. The request of Officer O'Oorman to be transferred for duty In the fire department was also refused. Commissioners Coburn , Strlckler and Hartman - man wore appointed as a committee to wait upon the editor of The Bee and Inform him that they were * going to Investigate the charges made In The Bee against the 4gtec- live department at their special meeting this evening , and ask him to co-operate with them In securing evidence against certain members of the department against whom charges have been made.

Councllmen Ryan nnd Conlcy got after the street car companies at the council meet ing last night with a vengeance. These gen tlemen live In the Third ward and both have been trying for some time to force the street car company to extend Its line across the viaduct and over Into the Third and Fourth wards. A few days ago Mr. Ryan , as chairman of a bpeclal committee , waited on Iho company and received a final answer to the effect that the company would not extend Its line for the present. As a result Mr. Ryan Is after the company with a sharp stick. Ho first go through a motion to compel the Metropolitan Street Car company , which runs between Soifth Omaha and Albright , to lower It tracks to a level with the street. Next he asked for a special committee to Investigate the franchises of the street car companies and sec If some steps could not be taken to compel the Omaha company to extend Its line. line.Mr. Mr. Conley's motion to tax the cars am poles of the company prevailed , and Mr. Ryan followed up by asking for an ordinance reg ulating the speed of street cars In the city. Mr. Walters was not to be outdone and lie gave the street car company a left-handec slap for ruining the L street viaduct with ltss tracks and spikes and then abandoning the line. The city attorney was asked for an opinion He said that If the city went Into the courts It might be a long time before a final opin ion could be reached. The councllmen were loaded for the com pany , however , and Mr. Walters submitted a resolution declaring the rails laid by the street car company on the L street viaduct a nuisance and ordering them removed at once. The resolution ! passed. Mr. Ryan also put through a resolution to the effect that the street car company be notified to repair the viaduct under the di rection of the city engineer , and if the com pany refused , to have the work done and tax the coat up to the said company. A petition liberally signed was read request ing that the property owners on Twenty- fourth street from N" to J be compelled to lay a permanent sidewalk in accordance with the ordinance. , A protest was read against the grading of Twenty-first street , the signers claiming that the work would cost more than the property was worth. Petitions were read asking for the grading of Seventeenth street from Missouri avenue to lot 13 , block. 2f > T-W nty-.thlrd street frqm 0 to Q street , and T\ventlctlutreet from Q to Y.

The Latent titternnca of Modern Science on the Twin Uumtlon of Digestion nnd I'lionic. Why docs the doctor look at your toliguc ? Dccauso the condition and color of the tongue Is one of the Indications of the state of the stomach , llccauso ninety-nine out of one hundred complaints are simply results ( and there fore symptoms ) of a dlsordctcd digestion. Hcforo treating you the doctor must know what the stomach has to say. Part of that tale the tongue tells him , but not all. There are plenty of other signs which you may recognize for yourself. "You only need to know what they mean. A sense ofvelght and pain In the stomach , chest and back after eating , headache and sleepiness , a yellowish color of the eyes and skin , spells of dizziness , head hot and ex tremities cold , bad taste In the mouth and foul breath , weariness and languor , the gulpIng - Ing up of wind or gas , unnatural Irritability and fretfulness , dry skin , losr of or variable appetite , bad dreams and broken sleep , con stipation and Irregularity ot the buuels , flushes of heat and cold , aching of the back and limbs , etc. ' The remedy Is not drugs but diet , the new pre-dlgcitcd starch food called Paskola. Delng pre-dlgeit-'d , Pa dola nourishes the body , feeds It , strfngthens It , sustains it , wlillq the stomach rests and gets well. Paskola does not sicken nnd tear you to pieces as cathartics do , nor stimulate for you an hour , as "tonics" do. It Is food containing the nutrient princi ples of other foods condensed , pre-dlgebted , Immediately assimilable , pleasant as lemon- ad c. < c.llclng a pro-digested food ( exactly what was needed ) It solves the problem and leaves nature to repair her own machinery. Just see what Paskola has done for others : WESTON , N. J. , March C , 1894. The PreDigested - Digested Food Qo. , 30 Reado St. , New York- Gentlemen. 1 have commenced upon my third bottle of Paskola today. Permit mete to say that It Is simply wonderful ; not only are Its effects at once realized \\hen suffer ing from dyspepsia1 , Indigestion , faint stomach ach and slnillar afflictions , but upon the general system It puts now life immediately without having to wait a week or UNO to reallre a slight Improvement In oneself. I have bppn treated by three very good phylclatib and one specialist In New York City for dyspepsia and general debility , and have never experienced In their costly treat ment the change that I am now undergoing. Accept this as my heartfelt acknowledg ment and truthful estimation of the great- eat discovery of this enlightened age. Sin cerely and respectfully , MRS. R. P. CASY. WEVERTOWN , N. Y. , May 7 , 1S1M. The Pre-Digested Food Co. . 30 Reade St. , New York Gentlemen : I feel It my duty to write and tell the public what Paskola has done for me. Three years ago 1 was taken sick. I tried all kinds of medicine , which did me no good , when at last I called a physician , who told me that I had dyspepsia In Its worst form and there was no hope for me. At last I thought I would try Pahkola , and have taken two 50-cent bottles. I can say I am a great deal better. My stomach will bear food now. When I commenced taking Paskola , I could eat only one tablesioonful of meal made In a gruel , now I can eat al most anything I want , und I thank God I have found a cure at last. Yours truly , MRS. EMILINE MORGAN. Paskola may be obtained of any reputable druggist. A pamphlet on food and digestion will be mailed free on application to The Pro-Digested ) Food Co. , 30 Rcade St. , New York. DRS.
