The authorities arc persisting In their
polluy of keeping an milch knowledge of
Elliott's doings from the reporters as they
can anil of preventing htm from getting

the fear that Elliott will l > c lynched. Sher

Yesterday afternoon a crowd of witnesses
from the Windsor hotel called at the county

1'roprlctor Hutlcr. Anna Gaul , the chamber
maid who entered the room and discovered
the body ; It. It. Hers a gueat , and Jack Von-
noy. A reporter for The Uco attempted to
Rain entrance , but he waa refused admit
tance until the witnesses had seen the
prisoner.
"You will have to wait , " IIP was Informed
by olio of the employes at the Jail.
The prisoner was poslthrly Identified. A
great change In his appearance was noticed
by Vunnoy , the man of all men In the city
who knew him Intimately. Vannoy eald
that his checks were sunken and his face
wa pale uml hUt eyes \vcre starting from
their sockets. Ills appearance IH entirely
changed. No questions were asked him re

Conductor Crowe of the street car com

murdered man yesterday. She resides In

.had gone to a hospital and requested that
Crowo visit1 him In order to see how heva3

It la with pardonable pride that the com-
mltteo In charge la enabled to announce
to the public that It has ut last secured the
original and only society circus and hippodrome -
dromo for a 'three days' engagement at
Omaha December 8 , 9 and 10. This great
aggregation was billed for Thanksgiving
day In Shanghai. China , to participate In
the festivities which should celebrate the
safe return of LI Hung Chang and his yel
low Jacket , but through the smooth diplo
macy of John W. Foster , who Is well ac
quainted with LI , that august personage
kindly consented to allow them to nil their
annual engagement at Oiunlu.
It Is said ho was moved to do this on ac
count of Omaha having the only open-faced ,
stem-winding depot on earth.
In accordance with the above facts wo
can say without fdir of successful contro-
verston that promptly at thojppolntcd hour
the greatest charity circus , hippodrome and
, animal show ever exhibited on this continent
will dlscmbarK opposite the magnificent
union cowshed at Tenth and Mason streets ,
Omaha , and ascend the golden stairway to
the viaduct above. The great aggregation
will repair at once to the castle of the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ilcn , formerly known as
the Coliseum , from which , after a season
of rest , they will sally forth on the first
day of thi ! show , December 8 , to give ono
of the most popular , dazzling and awo-ln-
splrlng street parades of the nineteenth cen
tury. The usual afternoon performances will
bo omitted In order to allow the wild ani
mals and wilder men to become accustomed
to their surroundings , which from being the
home of the Knights of the Desert for so
long a time , might seem to their untutored
minds as a little peculiar If seen for the
flrst tlrao by gaslight. This little dcvla-
tlon from Iho usual custom of shows In
general will bo entirely forgotten In the
magnificence of the evening entertainment
> vhlch will follow.
The great show will consist of a complete
circus with three rings , three ringmasters ,
with nmplo track accommodations , bare
back riders , trained animals , leipcra , turn-
, biers , acrobats , slack wire and trapeze pcr-
formers , chariot races , clowns and everything -
U _ _ thing of a first-class circus.
The animal show Is very complete , em
bracing a. representative of every tribe of
fish , ( Iran , biped , quadruped or winged beast
on earth or In the waters under the earth ,
the wild man from the Papplo , the tonguolcss
woman lecturer from Kansas City and the
armless club swinger from Kalamazoo.
There will bo no lack of sldo shows of
the better order , and especial pains have
been taken to have a variety of music
throughout the entire performance , animal
show and hippodrome. The whole perform
ance will bo simply unapproachable and the
only original society circus on the globe. It
exists only for charitable purposes and
thrives on the generosity of a large-hearted
public.

The following memorial on tha death of
Mr. Hamilton was adopted by the Omaha
clearing house at the noon meeting yester
day :
Hesolved , That this association recognizes
In the death of Charles W. Hamilton thn
loss of one of Its oldest and most esteemed
members , and dcrlrcs In this manner to con
vey and express Its appreciation of his life
nnd character.
Mr. Hamilton has been connected with the
banking business of Omaha almost from Its
earlli-st Inception. Ho was employed In the
old business of Harrows. Mlllard .t Co. ,
which was ono of the first Ilrms to com
mence banking In the ; then frontier post of
Omaha. In the Territory of Nebraska. Sub
sequently ho joined In the organization of
the llrm of Mlllard. Caldwcll & Co. . which
upon the organization of the Omaha Na
tional bank was dissolved by the Mlllards ,
Kzra and Joseph II. , golnR to Unit Institu
tion , and the remaining partners organizing
the firm of Caldwell , Hamilton & Co. The
last named llrm was dissolved upon the or
ganization of the present Timed States Na
tional bank. Into which Its bu lness was
merged , Mr. Hamilton being made Its pres
ident , and which position he continued to
hold at the time of his ilrnth.
Mr. Hamilton was president of the asso
ciation during the years 15.312. .
In his dealings and practices as a 1/nnkr-r.
he always acted In accordance with th high
principles of honor aivl integrity which so
dignify a banker's profession , and In all his
walks of life he justly merits , as be receives.
our respect nnd veneration. Wo deplore his
death as the removal , as It were , of one of
the landmarks which distinguish and con
nect the Omaha of the past with the Omaha
of the present and future.
Wn extend our heartfelt nympathy to his
family In th sorrow which Iias > fallen upon
them , but which Is an experience that must
Inevitably occur In time with us all and
must be endured as best st may.
The secretary and manager of this asso
ciation Is hereby directed to enter this reso
lution In the minutes of the association , and
to supply a copy thereof to Mrs. Hamilton.

The meeting of the Jacksonlsn club , which
was to have been held last night for the
purpose of considering the cases of some
forty members , whom It was proposed to
discipline , was declared off. This was not
because of any desire to withdraw the
charges , but because ? It had been discovered
that , according to the constitution , the
question could not be taken up at a special
meeting , but must come up at same regular
session of the club. Acting on this , the
secretary of the club has sent to each of
the forty accused members a notice to
appear before the club nt the regular meet
ing to be held December 12. end answer to
the charges preferred against them. These
charges arc that the accused did , In doflance
of the constitution and by-laws of the club ,
refuse to support at the last election the
candidates for president and vice presi
dent who were regularly nominated by the
democratic party.
It had been thought at first that the
members would pay no attention to the
citation to appear , but would allow the
free silver contingent to fire them out of
the club , or not , just as It suited their own
sweet will. One thing U apparent and that
Is that while the members accused are
not the majority by any means , they have
been the ones who In the past have put up
the major part of the money which has been
necessary to pay the bills 'of the club and
prevent Its going into liquidation with
very little In the shape of assctn
with which to liquidate. It Is now
likely that there will bo a very animated
contest when the matter comes up before
the club. There are some points In coa-
nectlon with the matter which the men who
were going to fire the accused out with so
little ceremony have evidently overlooked ,
and the recoil Is very likely to prove more
disastrous than the frontal effects of the
discharge.

In reviewing the real estate situation a
prominent dealer said : "The real estate
market for the last week has been quiet ,
although several sales have been made , but
small In amounts. Ilut the good feature Is ,
they are being made for cash , and are small
homos , and the fact that they are
being bought by the laboring classes.
Is , In our opinion , a good Indica
tion of the return of prosperity that these
people have been convinced the lowest
possible mark haa been reached and now Is
Iho time for them to secure their homes and
the reports of the real estate men show
that for extraordinary grod bargains a pur
chaser can readily bo secured. This has not
been the case for some time. The moneyed
Interests of the cast arc fast coming to the
conclusion that wo have a good , safe state
yet.
yet."The rising wheat and corn markets ,
showing a steady Incrcase'ln values and af
fecting this state to as great an extent as
any ether In the west , Increasing as It docs
the value of the two principal products of
the state , will add many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to our wealth. "
WHAT DEALERS THINK.
A very correct Idea of the present condi
tion and future prospects can be found from
the following reports tf some of the leading
real estate men of the city :
Ilcnawa & Co. made a $1.COO cash sale In
\Vorrengton addition to Clifford Smith.
C. K. Harrison says : "I have had moro
Inquiry for small farms In the last thirty
days than In any previous month. Whether
mrtlcs have an Idea of raising truck for
; ho exposition or n-ot , I cannot say , but the
demand Is great. "
J. N. Krenzer this week made a sale of a
small property In Kountzo Place for $3,000.
J. J. Gibson gives a meat nattering report.

louses and one business block. Ho reports

says there Is more Inquiry for dwellings now
than at any time for five years.
llcnson & Carmlchael report the sale of a
ioutio and tLreo lots In lienson , also three
arms In the central part of the state. Theac-
arms were all sold to men having farms
adjoining. They say there Is more Inquiry
or farm land now than at any other time
n five years. Mr. Benson haa Just returned

A meetlns of silverltes was held at
Knights of Labor hall last night to receive
the report of a committee appointed at a
similar meeting held one week before on the
question of organizing a league of the sil
ver forces of the state.
The committee submitted Its report , rec
ommending the formation of a club , to be
known as the Central Silver League of
Omaha , for the purpose of taking steps to
call a meeting for the formation of a state
organization. The committee also recom
mended a platform containing all the old
familiar theories upon which the silverlu-y
rung the changes during the late campaign.
The same committee also submitted an
other report , showing that It had corre
sponded with the free silver clubs at various
points In the state and had found them will
ing and anxious to form a state organization
and begin to campaign for 1900.
No action was taken on the latter report ,
but the flrsr was taken up for action. There
were a number of populists In the room and
every one of them Insisted on making a
speech. They managed to keep near enough
to the subject under consideration to hold
the Moor , but the crowd had to submit to
several "hot" speeches on free silver , the
Initiative and referendum , and numerous
other popullstlc theories. After nearly an
hour of this kind of thing tuo report of the
committee was adopted.
The election of oftlcers resulted 'as fol
lows : G. W. Ambrose , president ; George
Maguey , vlco president ; C. E. Forbes , sec
retary ; J. J. Savllle , treasurer.
l'resldenk Ambrose took advantage of the
opportunity offered by his election to make
a speech , and he rehashed the same old
talk , winding up with a reference to Bryan
as the leader of the silver party In the next
campaign.
A committee of five , consisting of John
Jeffcoat. C. F. Williams , Thomas Swift. II.
C. Miller and L. V. Morse , was appointed
to recommend an executive committee of
five to a meeting to bo held Saturday night
of this week.Subsequently this same com
mittee was Instructed to recommend thi
names of ten well known sllverltes to act
In conjunction with the executive committee
In calling a state convention , to be held In
Lincoln during the first week In January ,
President Ambrose remarking that this
would bo a good tlmo to hold the conven
tion "as the advocates of bimetallism will
all be id Lincoln during the opening of the
legislative session to pick up the crumbs
that may fall from the tables. "

In the present relationship between the
man.and the horse undoubtedly there Is a
change due to the bicycle , and xu wo are
becoming less under obligations to animal
locomotion. It Is , however , the old form of
horse which Is again coming to the from ,
saj3 Harper's Weekly. Perhaps the general
reader , not a specialist , has become some
what tired of reading of the original four-
toed horse , as his fossil remilns are found
In Kansas , and how In time ho gradually
changed until ho became the single-hoofed
creature , canceling his earlier too forma
tion. It Is the true wild horse , ashs may
exist today , which we have been looking for.
The first llnd of him , some years ago. w-ia
questioned. Anyhow , the creature was called
Equus prjovalskll , and. In a recent Journey ,
iho Russian explorer , Prjevalsky , hunted in
vain for him In central Asia , In the Desert
of the Haslnni Gobi.
Recently the two travelers , G. E. and M.
E. Grum Grzitnallo , have como across wild
horses In the JJzungarlan desert , and they
succeeded In shooting two of them. As to
their height , they stood some 1.40 melon ,
were possessed of a stout back and chest ,
and with the neatest nnd trimmest of k-jja ,
as clean as those of a race horse. The
head was heavy , with an abnormal width
of forehead. The tall had Ita peculiarities
being parti-colored , taking the hue of the
coat of the horse above , but black under
neath , and not long-haired. The coat was
scant , somewhat curly , but that might have
depended on the season. Ono marked point
was the presence of side whiskers , long ,
stiff hairs , extending from the cars to thu
chin. One thing these animals did waste
to adhere to the custom of our present
horses , for they neighed , whereas the wild
ass brays. The Grzlmallos say that though
the Mongols occasionally capture foals , thiy !
never have succeeded In domesticating
them.
Primitive man has left us a fairly good
picture of his horse hunt. It Is a stalking
scene. Ono horse ls down , and another In
being followed. The typo of the heads of
the horses closely resembles ilnt of the
Equus prjcvalskll. Looking over more re
cent equine studies , a successful cross haa
been made between a male zebra ( EqutiM
burchclll ) and a well-bred Scotch mare ,
The offspring is a finely formed foal , re
sembling the mother , with the zebra stripes
of the sire. In this experiment In hybrid
ism a great work Is expected. "Wo are at
work with the broncho , and are tracing
hack his genealogy , or what he may becnmu
In the future.

SonuI'olnttt on n Sulijrot of Timely
liiti-ri'Hl.
With the approach of winter the question
of heating residences during the cold term
becomes timely. It has long been a subJect - '
Ject of complaint on the part of somn Euro
peans that American houses are overheated.
It Is also thlined that ono result of thU
overheating Is that Americans are moro
subject to lung or throat diseases than they
would be If their houses were kept at a
lower temperature during the winter. This
In probably true up to a certain point , com
ments the Boston Advertiser , but there nra
Home waya In which the danger can bo
avoided even where tha temperature of resi
dences la not low.
It accms to bo the general Idea that tin
person who pams from an overheated roorl
Into thu cold air of the streets IH In serloui
danger of catching cold. Consequently
many persons stay Indoors In the winter
tlmo , because they do not like to run the
risk of catching cold by going out. In this
they often make a decided mistake , because
the majority of colds uro not caught by
going from a warm temperature Into a
told temperature , provided the person mak
ing the change Indulges In reasonable exer
cise , and does not remain out doors too
loni ; . The real danger of catching cold
comes upon the return Into a warm room.
As a matter of fict , many physicians hold ]
to the belief that the cumulation of the - *
circulation and nerves canned by a warm '
room often prevents a person from catching $
cold when golni ; Into a temperature that 1.1 i
In the neighborhood of zero , The danger
rather comes In the sudden rush of a per- I
ion , chilled by Intense cold , Into an ex > *
restively warm room. If i vestibule or waitIng - ]
Ing room were maintained In most house * j
at a' temperature of about CO or 65 do- j
yreoj ) , nnd a pause'wcru made there after j
coming In from a walk In the winter air , J
colds would not ho so frequent In thin con a- I
try , The suggestion Is worth heedlnu , ]
