The death warrant for the execution ot
Claude Hoover , the murderer of his brother-
in-law. Coiuicllmnn-clcct Snin Uubols , waf >
received by Sheriff McDonald yes
terday morning. The warrant recites
the action of Iho supreme court
In the case , refusing to grant a
new trial and fixing Ilia day of execution.
It directs the sheriff tc proceed to carry
out the mandate of the court by causing
Hoover to bo hanged August 7 , between the
hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. in.
The attorney for Hoover presented a long
petition to Governor Holcomb about two
weeks ago asking that Hoover's sentence bo
commuted to life Imprisonment. The gov
ernor Indicated that he would pass upon
the petition In about ten days , but as > ct
no action has been taken. Hoover's at
torney feels very sanguine as to the result ,
while those who have watched the case ami
nro familiar with hla sentiments are of the
opinion that the governor will not Interfere
In tl-o case ,
Shurlrr McDonald has made all the neces
sary preparations for carrying out the man
date of the court. The scaffold has been
In readiness for.sevcral months , having
been ready for use slnco April 17 , the date
set by the lower court for Hoover's execu
tion. The noose which will launch the
condemned murderer Into another state of
existence has been In the sheriff's posses
sion for Iho same length of tlmo , and all
that remains to do Is to erect the scaffold
nnd the palisade which will hide the scene
of the execution from the gaze of the curi
ous. The scaffold will be erected In the
ell at the bouthwest corner of the Jail , the
same point where all the recent executions In
Douglas county have taken place , and will
bo hidden from view from the street by u
high board fence enclosing a rectangular
space , within which the execution will occur
Under the statutes of Nebraska the con
demned man Is allowed the privilege of
Inviting three persons to witness his execu
tion. Hoover has not Indicated whether he
will exercise his privilege and has , In fact ,
been very chary ot discussing the rather
delicate subject. The sheriff Is allowed ,
under the statutes , to Invite not to exceed
six persons , exclusive of his assistants and
the clergyman , to witness the execution.
Sheriff McDonald Is In a quandary as to
how he Is going to accommodate the 200 or
more of the morbidly curious persons who
have already made application for tickets
of admission to the 'cliclosure. Many of
these are women and the question will be
somewhat simplified by cutting them off the
list entirely , but what to do with the others
is the question which Is puzzling the sheriff.
The applications eomo from all kinds and
conditions of men and many reabons arc
urged why each Individual should bo es
pecially favored. It will be necessary , how
ever , for the sheriff to cut the number of
admissions down to the number provided by
law and the large majority of the curious
aspirants will bo disappointed.
LINCOLN , July 27. ( Special. ) County
Attorney II. H. Haldrlgo of Douglas county
held a prolonsed consultation today with
Governor Holcomb. The subject of dis
cussion was the application for commuta
tion of the death sentence of Claude Hoover
ver of Omaha , convicted of killing his
brother-in-law , Sam Dubuls , and sentenccO
to bo thangcd. The supreme court has refused -
fused to grant a rehearing of the case
On the 13th lust. Governor Holcomb granted
n hearing of thq application for a commu
tation and took the matter under advise
ment. Today ho said he would announce
his decision next Wednesday.

COAL TOUCHES A HIGH PRICE
Little Prospect of Any Reduction During
the Coming Season ,
MUST PAY FOR COMFORT NEXT WINTER
He-illITN Sn > - They Arc Xot In n Com

TriiNt.
Coal will he coal In Omaha this winter
and the head of n family who expects to
keep warm when the Arctic gales are doing
their best to drive the mercury to the bottom
of the tube will have to pay roundly for hla
comfort. Last winter the fight between the
railroads brought the price of hard coal
down to ? 7.50 a ( on , but It Is Bald that the
war was so disastrous to the roads that
there Is no danger of n repetition this year.
It Is the opinion of the best Informed coal
ncn that the fall business will open at
an even $10 and that the prlco will bo more
Ikely to go up than down.
That there Is any combination among the
ocal dealers to Inflate the market Is cm-
ilmtlcally denied. The coal men declare
.hat the price In Omaha Is based on the
price at Chicago , plus the freight rate from
: hat point , which Is ? 3. They odd the
Chicago price to the freight rate , 60 cents
for hauling , 16 cents for handling and 60
: cnts profit for the dealer , and the result
is the prlco In Omaha. So an advance In
: ho market Is ot no benefit and really Injures
Ihelr trade , ns people are more economical
la the use ot their coal when they have
! > een compelled to pay a top price to ( ill
their bins.
That there Is a close combination cast of
Chicago Is admitted by nearly all the deal
ers. Last year the operators had a combina
tion , by which each man was assigned a
limit to his output. But the railroads
furnished all the cars each operator wanted
and the icsult was that they worked their
mines to their full capacity , regardless of
Lho combine. This year they have profited
by their experience and It Is said that the
railroads cast of Chicago have been taken
Into the deal. Uy the present arrangement
the roads ar to furnish each operator with
a certain number of cars per day and no
more. If this arrangement Is carried out It
will effectually limit the output of each
mine and thus control the market.
The price which the combine is now
maintaining at Chicago Is $5.60 per ton on
nard coal. This would make the cost to
the Omaha dealer $ S.GO , and , while $0 will
buy a ton of hard coal now , the dealers
assert that there Is no prollt for them at
that figuie. They say thut as soon as the
price Is established at Chicago for the fall
business they will make n price In Omaha ,
based on the Chicago quotation. One of the
leading dealers hazards vhc opinion th&t
the combine will make the Chicago price
an even $ G and that the market will open
In Omaha at $10. It is said that there Is no
possibility of a breaking up of the eastern
combination and that the only prospect for
a price lower than the one quoted lies In
the possibility of a cut In rates between
Chicago and Omaha. This Is regarded as
extremely Improbable , as the disposition of
the roads so far Is to maintain the rate
throughout. One local firm has been workIng -
Ing assiduously for some weeks to obtain a
reduction between the two points , but Its
overtures have been so coldly met by the
railroads that It has been practically do-
cldcd that there Is no hope ot obtaining the
slightest concession. , The dealers declare
that the rate of $3 between Chicago and
Omaha Is excessive and some of them still
contend that the railroads will find it Im
possible to maintain "it through the season.

Judge Baker held a short session of court
yesterday morning , sitting In chambers , , and
disposed ot three boys who have figured very
prominently In police court during the past
few months. They were each about 10 years
of age and all were excellent specimens of
the toughest street gamins who ever en
tered a court room. Carl Blumbcrg and
Charlie Snear are white and Matthew
Streeter Is colored. The three were ar
rested and convicted in police court of stealIng -
Ing a watch and a lot of whisky , with which
they proceeded to get as drunk as lords
The parents of all of the boys were In court
and were closely questioned by the judge ,
The mother of the Suear boy Is one of the
most r.ctlve members of the Salvation army ,
but had : ; ot tlmo to see where her boy spenl
his tlmo at night. The result was that the
youngster established his headquarters
among the most dissolute characters In the
proscribed district of the city. The hoy's
sister was In court and Informed the Judge
that she would take the boy to her home
and would see that no 'was kept under rc-
fitralnt. Tne boy was In thp district court
about a month ago as an Incorrigible , but
his mother agreed to take care of him ani
the Judge let' him go with that understand
ing , but ho has been , arrested three times
since that time. The court finally turned
the boy over to hla ' sister , with the under
standing that he w'ould bo sent to the re
form school if he was arrested again.
Carl Blumberg promised to stay at homo
and behave himself , and his mother said she
woult undertake to govern him , and ho was
allowed to go with the understanding thai
ho would be sent ; to the reform school I :
he was arrested again.
Matthew Strecter , the colored boy , was
ordered sent to the reform school. His
mother Informed the court that she was
compelled to go out to work In order to
support herself , and the boy would not stay
within bounds. She acknowledged that she
could not control him , and asked the court
to send him to the reform school In order
to save him from himself.

Detectives Ames. Vliard and Miller of the
Union Pacific hud o.lhot clmsc across the
bottoms last night and made tlmo that
would have done credit to professional
sprinters. They were after George Oliver
and Will Thompson , .two brass thieves , and
the men gave thorn a merry chase before
they were captured. > For some time past
arge quantities of \ expensive air brake
brasses have been missing from the shops ,
ind although a close , watch was kept noth
ing resulted until yesterday. The detec
tives had noticed these two well dressed
young men make occasional trips through
the yards , but as their appearance was
highly respectable they were not suspected
of any wrongdoing. Last evening about 7
o'clock the young men sauntered Jauntily
up the tracks , each with his coat thrown
over his back , A pronounced sag In one
of the garments carried , however , caught
the eye of Vlzzord and ho and his men
made a wide circle around the suspects and
approached them from In front.
No sooner hod the officers appeared than
Oliver and Thompson threw their coats to
the ground and started at a breakneck
pace toward the water works pumping
station. Hitching up his trousers , Vlzzard
set the pace for his comrades and was
doing qulto well for a man out of practice ,
when the north Omaha sewer crossed his
path. People ifamlllar with the detective's
generous proportions can imagine the mo
mentum produced by an eight-mile gait
and know that It was Impossible to stop
on such short notice. By the time his
friends had fished him out of the predica
ment Into which his haste Ind thrown him ,
the fugitives had gained a lap on him and
were legging It along the river bank In an
endeavor to place the pumping station be
tween themselves and the oftlccrs. Vlzzard
had his gun with him , so he shot n number
of holes In the atmosphere In the direction
of the fleeing men. The shots flow wide of
the mark , but were productive of good re
sults by calling to the old ot the olllcers a
number ot the bottom dwellers , who Joined
In the die EC.
Hemmed In on all sides , Thompson and
Oliver at length took refuge lna mass of
weeds , and the work of capturing them
was a matter of easy accomplishment. They
were lodged at the station and a charge of
larceny placed opposite their names on the
blotter. The amount of brass stolen from
thp shops is said to foot up about $100 , and
has been the result of about three months'
dcpreddtlons. Two large pieces of about
the value of $3 were ifound tucked away In
the pockets of the coats abandoned by the
men.

A deal was closed yesterday morning
whereby Boyd's theater passed Into the
hands of L. M. Crawford for the ensuing five
years , the contract and all of the papers
iclatlng to the deal having been signed and
delivered.
Mr. Crawford has been endeavoring for
the past year and a half to get a theater
In Omaha , and has had several projects In
view during that .time . as a means of ac
complishing that desire. Mr. Crawford's
first experience as a theater manager in
Omaha was'ln the old Exposition building
on Fifteenth street and Capitol avenue ,
which was fitted up as a theater and was
run under the management of I. W. Miner ,
as the Grand onera bouse. Later. Mr.
Crawford entered Jnto a lease of the old
Boyd theater at Fifteenth and Farnam
streets and the Grand was closed. The
old Boyd was destroyed by fire October 2 ,
1893 , and W. J. Burgess , who was manager
of the house , arranged for the occupancy
of the old Grandwhich" was rechrlstcned
and was known to fame as the Fifteenth
Street theater. December , 3 , 1SU4 , this was
also destroyed by fire , together with the
entire Exposition building and the Baptist
church Immediately ; adjolntug.
Since that 'time' Mr.nCrawford has been
using every effort to get a theater in Omaha
and has "seriously cdnsidered the idea of
building one. The deal for the Boyd has
been under way since last April. Mr. Craw
ford Is the manager of play houses In Leav-
enworth , > Kansas City , St. Joseph , Topeka
and \Vlchlta. The Boyd will be run In a
circuit with the other houses and will be
under the personal supervision of Mr. Craw
ford himself. It Is currently understood
that I. W. Miner , who was manager of the

With a better mulerstniHling- the
transient ntitnrc of tliciiitiny phys
ical ills , which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts plcn&ntiloil'orts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge , Hint so ninny forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease , but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the Fystetn , which the pleasant ,
family laxative , Syrup of Tigs , prompt
ly removes. Thnt is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families , and is
everywhere.esteemed so highly by nil
who X'alne geol health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact , that itis the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which It acts. It is therefore
all important , in order to get its bene-
llcial effects , to note when you pur
chase. Hint you have the genuine arti
cle , which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia LiMg Syl-up Co. only and bold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health ,
nud the bystem is regular , laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
alllicted with any actual discate , one
miiy bo commended to the most .skillful
physician * , but if in need of a laxative ,
one should have the best , and with the
well-informed everywhere , Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely

Wo'ro after men who buy white lnrls soinowhoro clio. Wo want tosrll them one Milrt.
sell the belt white shirts In the norld mid wo know It. NVo want them to know It too ,
TT
J [ HE average man knows almost as little about
white-shirts as the average woman does about "six
teen to one , " It isn't his fault. Most shirt dealers
place their orders here , there , everywhere , the lowest
price getting the largest order and they can't inquire
very closely as to what shirts are made of or how long ;
they're going to wear. It's different here. A "Ne
braska" shirt is as staple as the Fourth of July and
3ou take no chances when you buy a "Nebraska1"
shirt. For years we have been selling the best white
shirts in the market and selling 'cm a good deal less
than other stores get for the so-called best. Our
prices arc staple too 350 , 500 , 7oc for the unlaundered -
dered , 500 , 750 and $1,10 for the laundered styles.
The best that your money can buy is in a "Nebras
ka" white shirt. Best muslin. Best linen. Best
workmanship. Best guarantee got to wenr or your
money back. There's safety in buying shirts here
We want the shirt trade of people who know a good
shirt when they see it. Also of those who don't.
