Llcutcnint J. L. Donvan , Seventeenth In
fantry. Irom Fort Husscll , arrived In Omaha
last evening and la quartered at the .Mercer
liotcl. H traveled the wliolo JUtance on B
bcycle , , covering the 650 miles In five ami
one-hall days , and put In ( our days In
Actual riding. On his arrival ho reported to
General Itroofce , and after supper he rilatcd
'fe ' lila cjpirlcnco to a group ot army ofllcers
and reporters.
f Lieutenant Uansvan was ordered to report
if At Fort Omaha lor the rifle , competition
which soon commences , and as he Is an en
thusiastic wheelman ho wrote to General
Itroofce and secured permission to make the
Journey from I'ort Russell to Omaha on hta
wheel. There has been a great dial tf dis
cussion In army circles as to the advisability
of equipping soldiers with bicycles , tor put
ting them into Held and other service. Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles rides a wheel and la a
warm advocate of Its use In nrmy service
There are other supporters of tin wheel ,
h and army ofllcers regard Its adoption as only
It a matter of a sh rt time when Infantry will
bo provided with the silent steeds , thus In a
measure revolutionizing Held tactics.
The progress of the carrying ot the mes-
Eago from President Cleveland to Governor
"Waits In Colorado -was watched with , a good
deal of Interest by Uncle Sam's defenders ,
but this did not give them a practical
demonstration of the usefulness ot the bicy
cle , as the relay riders wcro all experienced
riders , carrying the lightest possible weight
The relay race suggested the Idea , lo Men-
tenant Donovan to make the tilp from Tort
Husscll to Omaha , and lie proceeded to put
11 Into cxecut on.
The lieutenant is n tall young man , who
possesses a great deal of determination , and.
utter securing permission to make the at
tempt , he provided himself with a Victor
forty-thrce-poiind bicycle , upon which he
strapped ilia same accoutrements as a. prl-
vnto carries when marching. These
weighed sixty-live , pounds and consisted of a
rifle and forty pounds of ammunition , an
entrenching tool , a revolver nnd twenty
rounds of ammunition , a shelter lent and
poles , overcoat , bag and blanket , a toilet
bag , underclothing and an extra pilr of shoes
nnd a quart canteen filled with water , besides
three days' rations. Lieutenant Donovan
weighs 1G5 pounds , malting a combined
vveight of 230 pounds on the wheel. The
rllle was strapped to the frame of tlio bicycle
and did not Interfere In any way with the
Tldcr. The other articles were strapped In
front and al the sldo of the handle bars and
wcro so arranged that they could be re
moved In a half minute If necessary In
relating his experience , the lieutenant said :
UnSCHIDES THE TIEIP.
"I started out to give the army ofllcers a
practical Illustration of the value of n wheel
for army service , In making long inarches , or
for carrying messages. I have been five and
one-half days on the road between hero and
Fort Husscll and lost a day ami n halt by
breaking my wheel and having to slop to
repair It , I stopped a half day each time at
McPhcrton , Or and Island and Fremont. I
rode to Omaha from Fremont today and had
to travel a large portion of the distance ovr
f * . muddy roads. The Journey has not fallgueil
me as much as five days' march would , and ,
according to my cyclometer , I havn traveled
a. fraction over 62914 miles I do not fee !
worn out .tncl could have completed Ihe trli
In much shorter time. I put in exact ! )
fitly-nine hours and forty minutes with m )
wheel. This Includes the tlmo spent In re
pairing It. I had to walk twenty-eight mile !
and push my wheel on account of deep BSIK
and mud. I rode over railroad tracks foi
twenty-four miles and traveled IG5 miles or
muddy roads. Tor 429 miles I faced a Btronj
wind , which retarded my speed , and , as 1
found the roads In pretty bid cnnJltlon 1
might say that the trip was made undei
unusually adverse conditions , I broke lh <
sprocket chain twice today while whcelltif
through heavy mud , and came Into Omihi
with a loose pin , but I feel well batiMled , foi
I have given a practical Illustration ot wha
can be accomplished with a wheel In tin
army. A company of Infantry could be pu
on. a battlu field fifty or n hundred mile :
distant In a half day or a day's lime. Thl
could not bo dona with horse , or by forcti
marches , and. after the men went on Hi
field , they could discard their wheels am
strap their accoutrements to their shoulder !
Bicycles are as cheap as horses , require lit
tie attention , ami a company could sleep o :
their wheels , as It were , when on a marc !
nnd bo ready to move on within an Incredlbl
short time after receiving orders. This tilt
I think , will be a strong argument In favo
of the equipping of the soldiers with bl
cycles. I may return to Port Uusaell in th
game manner and will niaUe the trip In nine
shorter tlmo If I do. "
Colonel Tleiiham , who was an intereste
listener while the lieutenant was relatln
his experience , remarked : "It Is -wondoi
fill performance , and , I think , will resul
In the adoption of bicycles In army servlci
This record clearly outclasses anything a <
compllshed by horses and our messengc
service would be greatly improved by tli
equipment. The nrmy officials arc coiisldei
ing the advisability and utility of erpiippln
Infantry with bicycles and I am greatly I
favor of such a move. With blc > clcs v ,
could move out. troops easily , silently an
speedily. "

by ili Old Trick.
A circus always brings with It a train of
sharps and pickpockets , and Hie one now In
town Is no exception to the rule. Yester
day afterneon while Agent Cohen ct ihe
show was suparvlsltiE the Evening meal ,
lUckman of the firm of Wright & Uackman ,
butchers , or 2003 N street , South Omaha ,
entered and presented a contract slgne.1 by
J. C. Hamilton for JflS.45 worth of meat.
Mr. Cohen emphatically declared that he
was the only authorized agent of the com
pany , that Hamilton had no power to make
sny crntracts , nnd that the contract there
fore was a fraud. Other cases of the same
kind were later reported , and It appears
that Hamilton has reaped quite a harvest
In the city.
The way Hamilton works his victims Is
very shrewd. In Ihe case of the butchers
ha Inquired Ihe price of the meat. When
this WJB given he said that the price was
low and suggested that another cent a pound
be added and the corresponding profits be
d vldcd equally between them and himself.
The money for the meat , cf course , was lo
bs paid after delivery. But Mr. HamilUn
said that he would not be able lo see the
meat men again ss he kept In advanc ? of
the ehow. Su his profits were Immediately
paid aver to him. What the loss was couU
not he learned exactly , but Ilachmati tald It
was between ? " > and $10.
O. Ilarth of 1010 North Twenty-fourth
street had a contract , Mr. Cchen Bald , of
tbout | 90. and Hamilton & Knopf of 1773
South Twenty-ninth of about $50. Various
ether butchers were also "worked" In sums
ryjiK from ? 10 to ? 25.
"Hamilton" also contracted for lumbar
bread , canvas ami other supplies. In all ,
the show people say that he obtained about
U.T50. U Is hard to find out what the lo s
was In Individual cases , as the victims arc
oath lo admit Uiat they were "worked. "
Besides , the nature of the dears made with
Hamilton was such us to cause them to say
Ittlc
The swindler has been working his scheme
slncn the beginning of the season , except for
the last ten weeks. During this time ho
was , as supposed , in durance vile In Syra
cuse , N. V. lie struck a butcher there , with
whom the show had been dealing for several
years. This Individual Immediately under
stood the echo me , had him arrested nnd
prosecuted him. The man drew sixty days.
This would happen to him frequently If the
victims would prosecute , but for the reasons
stated above this Is very rarely done. De
tective Hook of the show and his associates
ara on Ills trail.
Hamilton 1ms furnished'himself with blank
contracts , which appear all right , but arc
entirely different from the genuine ones.

On the final vote lbtv s pasted unanimously.
Realism has reached Its zenith In "The
Tornado , " ivhlch began a. half week's en
gagement yesterday at the fifteenth Street
theater. In fact , Unamlgltt with truth say
It is realism run ram-pant.
When seen hew Intt year "The Tornado"
was crude In partn , the scenes were badly
worked nnd the cast composed of only or
dinary material. Hut a jear on the rend
has changed these comlttictia , nnd the play
last night was greeted with the biggest
house of the season.
Little do tha patr-ns of the Fifteenth
Street theater care for the brlll'ant wit of
Sheridan , Iho artistic dramatic construction
ot I'lnero , or Iho lordly language of Sheridan
Knowles. They want something with blo d ,
heart , vitality In It , something that will
not require too much thlnk.ng In Its solu
tion , something that Is part of their llvca.
They get all thla In "The Tornado. " It Is
crowded will Incident ; the characters are.
well bestowed. It Is a play that Hatnlln
O.rland would revel In , that Howclls might
tokei n fancy to 1C he wera not so supremely
cgot stlc. While the stage carpenter , the
gas man , the machinist and numerous supers
work up strong climaxes In three acts , the
height of the realHtlc Is reached In a dl -
sectlng room In a Chicago medical cdllese.
This scene alone wculd save the reputitlon
of any plsy. It Is daring In the manner ot
Its working .out , f r the heroine , who Is a
supposed suicide , Is brought In by body-
snatchers for the tienelH 'of tlio medical
studenu The huebandi and hero Is the
demonstrator on Jl Is occasion. "With scalpel
In hand he Is ah ut to dlsincmbsr an arm ,
the sheet Is drawn eway from the white
face of the subject and the doctsr recognizes
his lost wife. It Is a dramatic situation ,
ono that appeals strongly to the heart of
the audience. After ho Is lett alone- with
his dead the doctor proceeds lo ascertain If
life Is extinct , and then to his overleaping
Joy a faint mdsture Is seen upon the hand
mirror held lo the lips. There couU t no
ether way out of It than a startling cllmix ,
and Mr. Carter has worked his lead for
everything there Is In It.
The actors , while secondary to the picture ,
are In the main accjptnblc. Mr True James
plays George Laniont with conslutr'lile feelIng -
Ing , his work in the dissecting room being
particularly csmmendable. Biff Boss , the
Juvenile uart , la ri-ght cleverly played by

Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theater company
of Now York makes Its first appearance In
Omaha In over three years nt Uoyd's "theater

nights.
The company and scenery , with all the
appointments , as ltvlll appear In the presen
tation of "The Amazons" Is unchanged from
that which participated In the long New-
York run of last season. In the great me
tropolis the production was looked upan as
the most ruccessful ever presented by this
management , and from the time it bnpan
( Immediately preceding tlio holidays ) there
was at no time vacant ! seats In that theater.
Mr. 1'lnero calls his play "A Farcical Ro
mance , " It lias all of tlie humor of farce
without nny of Its broadness , and while hand
ling a subject vvhloli would appear upon
casual observation to be a dllllcult ono not to
tr at In. a coarse or broadened manner , he
has lost nothing of its humor ; he has filled
It v\ith witty remarks and pleasantly ludi
crous situations , and s-ct has avoided the
slightest Intimation of anything which could
olTend. The 'players5lll be Miss Georg'a '
Cayvan , Katherlne Florence" and IlrsUe
Tyree , Herbert Kelceyr Fritz 'Williams and
Ferdinand Gottschalk , Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Walcott , Mrs. Thomas AVhiffen. 13 Tarlcton ,

See how the world wags fn a center like
Omaha. We present this new pattern of Com
fort Ilocker In the same week In vvhlch U U
brought out In New York , Philadelphia and
Cli lea to.
Half a hundred visitors have .already tried
It. It rockB In any direction sideways , cor
ner-wine , forward and back , in a circle , erIn
In the long are of an eclipse.
It Is one of the moat Interesting seals Im
aginable , and every house should contain one.
Many are the adjectives It calls forth
"crazy. " "fascinating. " "LevvlldfrinK , " "de
lightful , " "weird , " etc. It Is certainly the
most remarkable ? \ecu \ of furniture that the
last decade haa produced , and there la every
prospect of un enormous sale for It.
The secret of Its comfort lies In two en
tirely different nets ot springs which nte so
constructed that they work either nlone erIn
In combination , making a very apothiosls of
comfort.
