( hi- Christian Union
Convention.
The delcRatcs to ttio Christian union co
rcntlon were leaving Omaha In Inrpc mn
bcrs yesterday , and hy nightfall there we
hut few visitors rcnmltiliiK here. Scarce
any of them left Sumlny , their well knoi
objection to traveling on tne Bahhath kee
Ini ; them here to the last niul making n KO
crnl exodus yesterday. From all were hca
words of jiraUo for Omaha , Its public Insl
Uittons , Its railroads and for all who co
trlbnted to the success of tliu conventlo
Sonic of the ilclcgatca salil they were n
vised hy their friends to avoid Omaha ,
they would he suffocated by the hot win
of Nebraska , but they say they never c
Joyed a week of finer weather and mo
delightful climate anywhere. They unai
mously vote the Onial a convention the ere ;
est , from every jiolnt of view , that has ov
been held by tholr union. To say that t !
delegates wcro will pleased with their trea
ment by the people nnd the prcsa of Omal
is expressing the truth mildly , and mm
were heard to declare Hint they would
hack hero in 1898 to visit the Transmlssl
Blppl Exposition.
Hrlght and early yesterday morning Inn
crowds of doleBates could bo seen prcssl :
their way to what one of the speakers
the convention called "Omaha's grand unl
depot , " A special train of BCVCII coach
was run via Lincoln to Tarklo college , Ml
Bourl , hy the 'Uurllngton road , . It w
filled with delegates anxious to Inspect t !
denominational college that carried off t
first prize at the convention for the greatc
attendance of undergraduates. It was t
tlmatcd that about 400 persons joined tli
excursion. Some were bound for Uncol
others for Dunbar , but the most were e
route to Tnrkio. The morning train i
the Union I'aclllc carried a large numb
to points In the Btatc. The excursions
the Uurllngton and of the Elkhorn roa
left for the Black Hills In the afternoa
The afternoon's trains of both the llurlln
ton and the Union Pacific contained sever
more extra sleepers for the nccouiffi
d&tlon of those who will take the Dcnv
trip and of the western delegates who a
returning home. The Hock Island's train
I'lttsburg pulled out ycsteulay afternoi
at 4:50 p , in. , and will be run on the retu
trip to make the same remarkable time th
was made coming to Omaha twenty-f
hours. The Burlington had two e
tra sleepers and two additional chair ca
on Its Chicago train last night. The Nort
western , which has brought more than 1
share of the delegates to Omaha , add
extra coaches to both Its afternoi
trains to Chicago. There was a big cro\ \
lined up at the counter of the Milwaukee
ofUco yesterday morning ; It seem
as though a working majority
the convention were making rt
ervntlons of berths In the SI
waukce'8 sleepers , but then a convent !
of 3,000 people Is a big Institution.
The Kansas and many of the Iowa del
gates left at 9M5 o'clock yc
tcrday morning. A largo propc
tlon of the delegates have tnki
advantage of the cheap rates , one fare i
the round trip , to take a trip to varlo
points In the slate.
The railroad men are well pleased with t
results of the convention. They decla
that It Is the best convention ever held
Omaha , the delegates , they say , wcro t
most accommodating people they c\
handled , and they are not slow to say tl
the Institute was the flrst one In Oma
that has ever come up to .expectations.

At the regular weekly meeting of tl
Heal Estate Dealers' association , held at tl
Commercial club yesterday noon , tl
discussion turned on ways ai :
means for rapavlng the Btrce
which still have the remains of wh
was once a wooden pavement. The matt
was Introduced by ex-Governor Alvln San
ilers. who advocated the Issno of pavli
bonds to run twenty years , nothing cxce
the Interest payable the flrst tun yea
and the principal payable In ten equ
annual Installments during the last ti
years. Thu speaker discussed the questli
at length and urged the necessity for a
tlvo work In this direction In order th
the city may present a good appearance du
Ing the exposition.
The Idea f-cemed to meet with favor ai
was dlscusted hy all present , Eomo few
the speakers expressing themselves In favi
of having the bonds payable In twenty pa
incuts , one payment being duo each yes
for the reason that the life of a brick pav
incut , which would probably be chosen i
account of Its cheapness , was only abe
ten or twelve years and the tax against ti
property after tl.o pavement had been wo
out would militate against the sale of tl
property.
No action was taken on the matter ,
being agreed that ex-Governor Saunde
should Introduce a resolution covering t !
subject matter at the next meeting of tl
association.
The question of charter revision was ai
discussed , It being the consensus of oplnli
that a committee from the association shou
be appointed to co-operate with the coi
mltteo to bo appointed by the city count
to draft amendments to the city charte
No definite action was taken , however ,
being agreed that a resolution covering tl
matter should bo Introduced at the nv

Officers of the pollcto force arc. authorll
for the statement ith-at an effort Is bclr
made to confine disorderly women to tl
proscribed district , especially during the fa
week. The class * hch | Is being huntt
down consists of the so-called street wall
ers and those women who ply their voci
tlon In flats about the. city.
That some such .effort Is being made I
Indicated by the appearance ot the polk
court docket. Women are up dally bcfoi
the police judge charged with being dli
orderly. They have Invariably clthc
pleaded guilty or havp. been adjudged guilt
and have each bccntflncd ? 5 and costs.
The women are being picked up on th
streets or arc ai rested out of the flnts I
which they dwell. Almost nlgntly rah !
arc made upon some apartments , and othct
are watched until the police arc safe I
making the raids. Many of the women ar
caught In such surroundings that they can
not but plead guilty. Men are rarely ai
rested. This Is because , according to th
decision of Judge Baker ot the crlmlnr
court , they cannot bo prosecuted on th
charge of being Inmates of a disorder !
house. They are only arrested when som
other charge can be made against then
drunkenness for Instance.
It was while making one of these raid
that a detail of police stumbled upon th
band of gamblers at 110 South Fourteen !
street last Saturday night. Instead of find
Ing women , the detail struck a room full c
men , who were playing cards about a told
decorated with chips. The police could d
nothing but arrest the men.
The- gamblers were all arraigned In pollc

In a game of poker. They all pleaded no
guilty and the cases wcro sot for trial o

Chain Can tf Jumper Writ I'M to th

John Dcnnoy , n colored man who jumpci
the chain gang last month , Is so anxious t
Ret back to Omaha that he Is sorry no\
that ho made his escape. Police Judg
jordon yesterday morning received i
carefully worded epistle from Den
ncy , In which ho bogs that tin
: ourt will forget , forgive nm
slvo permission over Its own signature fo
lilm to return without danger of belni
nabbed by the officers.
In the communication Dcnney exonerate
the judge from any wrong-doing for sen
lenclng him to the gang. He states tha
lie believed ho had a fair and Impartla
hearing and that the Judge sentenced bin
to street work because he thought bin
guilty , although he was not. In fact
IJcnney's belief In this direction has bcci
so strong that he says he never overlookci
an opportunity to eay a good word for th
Omaha police Judge. But he says that h
was so sure- that he was Innocent ot th
charge against him and that the air o
Omaha was so uncongenial to his healtl
that he skipped out. Now he wants to ge
back because he has been engaged to d
some work during state fair week.
Denncy was convicted of being a vagran
and was sentenced to the street gang fo
several days. Judge Gordon has not ye

the Icnowledpe , that so many forms 01
sickness are not due. to any actual ills

family laxative , Syrup of Kirs. ( prompt
ly removes. That is why itistheonlj
remedy with millionsof families , and if
everywhere esteemed so highly bv all
who value good health. Its henelieial
effects are due to the fact , that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is then-fore
all important , in order to get its bene
ficial effects , to note when you pur
chase , that you have the genuine arti
cle , which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If iu the enjo.vment of good health ,
and the system is regular , laxatives or
other remedies arc then not needed. If

A Needful Garment-
In all of a man's wardrobe there isn't a more
needful garment for th's ' time of the year than 1
the lightweight overcoat. It adds comfort to a
summer suit these cool evenings , and can be worn
in many places , and oft where a winter overcoat
would be out of place. It costs little , comforts
much and pays big dividends to the wo.arcr every
spring and fall. We have these needful garments in
variety and our prices arc almost half what you have
been in the habit of seeing them marked elsewhere.
Some in Cheviots at $5 oo , some in Black Clays at
$7.50 , some in gray Worsteds at $8.00 , and some in
English hunting cloth very swell at $9.00 a piece.
The time to buy a fall overcoat is now , while the line
is large ; the time to wear it is every fall and spring
lor the next five years. A good lrall Overcoat will
look well even after five years. Even the cheapest
of ours arc good a'l wool.
