ftoutlno business had the right of way
at the regular city council meeting last night
and a long session passed without entertain
ment for the lobby.
Mayor BemU vetoed the resolution passed
it the previous meeting by which peddlers
were granted the privilege of standing on
Sixteenth street adjoining the new post-
office building. The mayor stated that this
was n subject that had occasioned con
siderable friction In the past and should be
adjusted on a businesslike nnd permanent
basis. The new postofilce would bo completed
In a year or two , when the peddlers' stands
would have to be moved anyway and a poll
tion had been signed by nearly all business
men on the street asking that the peddlers
bo moved. He submitted a concurrent resolution
elution by which the peddlers' ground was
changad to the hect adjblnlng the site of
the old Exposition building , where hs
thought they would not be so much of an
Impediment to traffic.
This caused the same wordy debate that
has att ° nded every mention of the peddler
nuisance In the council. Kennard finally
became disgusted and moved "the previous
question on the banana discussion , " and the
veto wan overruled.

saving to the city of $781.20. The veto was
not sustained and the contract was apyrovcl

was ordered awarded to the lowest bidder on
American cement.

At the preliminary hearing held Monday
before Commissioner Dundy , at which Hall
way Slall Clerk Felix Murray was bound
over to answer to the charge of abstracting
money from the malls , the stories told by
Government Inspectors Sinclair and lleeb ;
illd not tally entirely with the. story which
had previously been given out for publication.
The matter sifted down to a marked CO-cent
pleco which the inspectors say they found
among the money belonging to Murray. No
attempt was made to sustain the allegation
hat Murray had acknowledged the taking of
the decoy letters , or that he had himself pro-
iluced them when the demand for them was
mpde.

The second day's hearing of tlie McCarty-
Dawsdn case was held yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Slabaugh was recalled and again told
of the Injuries to the elder DaWRon.
W. II. Uetz , a resident of Hellevue , was
then placed on the stand and told about his

Two mtlvos of Albright named Mullen and

The testimony of Edwin Carter , who was
ne\t called , concurred with that of Albert
Barter. In referring to young Edmond I'c-
crson , he said that he went to the Ashburn
IDUSO and took Peterson to Jones' house. At
hat time the boy complained of aching all
over , and attributed It to the abuse ho rc-
cehed at Callahan's saloon.

County Attorney Slabaugli tlun called or
Vic McCarty to tell his side of the story
Vic said that he started the fuss by refer
ring to the Dawson wagon as a shim outfi
and that when he climbed down out of hi'
buggy he got the worst of It and he coulc

A mad maiden In loie-wlth an old sundial ,
just a line In the play/ tells the story of W.
S. Gilbert's "Broken Hchrts , " given for the
first tlmo In the open itast night on the
grounds of the Omaha Lawn Tennis club for
the .benefit ot the Women's Christian asso
ciation.
Around thin central ttbiught the author has
placeJ a series of well motived Incidents , the
Teal being subordinated to the Ideal , with the
result a play closely suggcstwo of Shakes-
pcaro's "Midsummer Night's Dream , " or the
more modern "NIobe" of I'aulton.
There could not have been a more perfect
night for an out-of-door performance , the
conditions were favorable to the young play
ers , and the enlarging crescent , presaging the
harvest mood , was a most Important acces
sory to a stage setting that quite filled the
cyo with beauty and plcturesqucncss. Never
In the hUtory of amateur theatricals'has so
perfect a stage picture been presented , n wood
Interior , with a limpid stream to the right , n
pathway leading down from high hills In the
middle ground , and to the left an old suutlia * .
which for ages has marked the course of tlie
day orb. Here and there rocKs and shrub
bery and a deep in.it ot verdure lending a
tender bit of color to the scene , llomantlc In
Its Investiture , the ensemble was heightened
by well managed colored lights , which gave
the effect of sun ct , sunlight and sunset aga n
for the fairy play Is In three acts , and sunset
rightly concludes the stme , for It stands as a
symbol of death In life , to one man at least.
There Is a little story that needs telling ,
for It Is the same story of lovv and hatred , of
wrongs done nnd of wrongs righted , that
have been In evidence since the aforetime.
Romanticism plays Its part with consummate
tnct , Mr. Gilbert falling just outside of the
lines of Investing the play with wonderful
humor , encouraging a delicious fancy to the
limit of fantastic Improbability. Allegorical
to a degree , he attempts to point a moral
and adorn a talc , but In the denouement for
gets the strong creation of his fancy nnd
allows Mousta , the misshapen being who
longed for love , to go out Into the sunset ,
and night closed as he went.
But six characters are required to develop
this story of tender love anJ unholy desire , a
story that satlrbes the romantic vlen of
girlhood wherein Is found "sermons In stones ,
books In the running brooks , and good In
vcrythlng. "
And with a verity no better amateur per-
'ormance has been seen in Omaha , the play-
is being splendidly cast and taking their
larts with a remarkable degree of faithful-
ess. Miss Alice Drake , Mrs. J. H. Wheeler ,
Ilss Madeline Chapman ana Miss Blanche
\llen were altogether captivating , playing In
ill the dlincult scenes with a delicacy anJ
good taste which was quite Irreproachable.
Miss Drake was an artistic surprise to her
rlentls , giving an Ideal picture of the ro-
nantlo maiden In love with the sundial which ,
hrough a mysterious agency , changed Into
i handsome knight. Her reading was a ilo-
Ight to listen to , and even though In the
ipen air , her finely modulate 1 voice never lost
ts resonance , anJ throughout was a Joy nnd
a pleasure. As for liar acting , too much can
not be said In praie , the different phases of
he character receiving most Intelligent tn-
erpretatlon nt her hands.
This may be said also of Mrs Wheeler ,
who made much of the dramatic Incidents ut
her disposal , her strong scene with Mousta ,
who , through the agency of the magic veil ,
avows his love to Lady Hilda as the Voice oi
the Fountain , nnd then later throws the veil
aside to stn'id forth as the hunchback and
beseeches the maiden to love him for him
self. It was n well played bit of romantic
drama and merited the applause It receive !
Miss Chapman was a lovely Lady Meluslno ,
playing with much discretion , and this Is
also true of Miss Allen.
Mr. Herbert "Cook made n great deal oi
I'rlnce Florlan. n courtier of great renown ,
who o Latin blood made ntm susceptible tc
glorious woman's charms.
Mr. Frank Lea Short , upon whose shoul.
ilers rested the responsibility of producing
the play , rehearsing his associates and play.
IIIK the thankless part of Mousta , has ever }
reason to feel satisfied with his success. Hi :
homo people are satisfied with him , for hli
Impersonation was almost virile In charactci
and ht brought to the part a love for char
ncter study which aided him In encompasslnf
this strange creature with the face and torn
of a baboon but the heart ot a woman.
Once the pretty love story , though told li
fairy form , began to unfold within that mlmli
tceno behind the improvised footlights , Itsel
a oo/y tangle of wlldwood , all militant crltl
cUm was broken down In a moment and tin
500 people present gave themselves up ti
thorough enjoyment of this , Omaha's fits

There Is little doubt now that the thief
vho stole the $0,000 from the United States
Impress company on July 10 will be arrested
his morning. If he Is not already unJor ar-
cst. The express people , while they have
md the \ery best local and foreign detective
alent employed upon the case , lm\o besn
xcccdlngly reluctant about disseminating In-
ormatlon as to their theories about the
obbery. Circumstances made It Indisputable ,
iowe\cr , that the theft was committed by
no of the United States Express attaches ,
Ithcr In the ofllcc or In transit to or from
ho depot. This the officers of the company
nrcier\edly admltteJ when first the rcpor-
orlal pump was applied , but since then they
mvo held that this suspicion was ground-
ess and that Investigations revealed that
he missing package had never passed
lirnugh their hands. , U has been known all
long that one or two or tmce of the cm-
lojes of the company 1m e been under ofll-
lal espionage over since the $6,000 package
\as mlsbcd. They have been shadow el In
cssantly , but without result. Still the
ompany was In possession of facts that set-
led It unquestionably that the robbery Ind
jeen committed by one of Its own family
Mrcuiiistancca would admit of no other parties
jelng connected with the tiff air , as the pack
age lay In the company's safe o\cr night ,
and all of the oinclals of the concern wcro
\uaro of this fnct. Still they hesitated to
ay hands upon the thief , fearing they might
npKo a mistake , as three trusted men were
Ire only ones who possessed the combination
ir hud access to the treasury depository. If
.ho money had been stolen by any one of
he three men under suspicion the deduction
\as , by detectlvn analyzatlon , tnat a "plant"
of the stuff would bo made and let severely
alone until a stilllclent length of time hail
elapsed to allay suspicion , because these men
are all Intelligent , shrewd business men und
\ould not be BO foolhardy us to divulge any
thing by any unusual display of wealth or
extravagance. The fact that the money had
been taken In such a bald way , and under
conditions thai , left no earthly chance of sus
picion against any party outside of the ex
> ress company's employes , was sufficient to
nduce the thief or thlescs to Hocry close.
CLt3\V COMHS AT LAST.
Detective Investigation , so It Is alleged , de-
\ eloped a lax sjstcm of things In the Imme
diate management of the department In which
: ho company's safe Is located ; that Is , that
: here were others onto the combination be
sides the three trusties alluded to. Careful
nqulry convinced those handing the matter
that the fate had been opened during the
night and the valuable pacxage abstracted
It was not probable that the thief got In his
work In the morning after the cafe had been
opened for the day. There were too many
clerks and other emplojcs within easy sight
of everj thing that transpired In this depart
ment , and to have made this possible one or
two of these would have had to have been In
collusion with each other Knowing this , the
detectives advised that a circular be prlntt-d
anil circulated , describing the money stolen ,
which fortunately happened to be all new
bills of various denominations on the Ne
braska National bank. This made Identifica
tion easy , and the circulars \\co : distributed
throughout the city Saturday , and yesterJaj
one of the mlfslng bills turned up. It was a
J5 bill and was passed In Hans Peterson's
saloon , corner Fifteenth and Webster streets ,
anil found Its way to the office of the ex
press company late yesterday afternoon
Petersen was sent for and wan closeted at
the express office wltli the officers and de-
tectUes. They were soon In possession of
all he knew , an.I tlut was a man , whom he
minutely described , came Into Ills saloon ,
drank a couple of beers and tendered a $ . "i
bill in payment. This bill he took out of r.
wallet well stuffed with new bills of larger de
nomination , as I'etersen obso'ved , the man evi
dently taking much pleasure In this display
of his wealth. He bald he was In a huriy
after he had receive ! his change , ns he was
going to take the C.10 train on the Omaha
north. 1'eterscn's description of the map
tallied to a nicety with that of a driver re
cently discharged by the Untied States Ex
press people , and on a later train a couple ol
detectives left for the point to which this
man had purchased his ticket , and It Is
highly probable that he will bo brought back
and lodged In jail today.
