The BtAcki of turkeys , gccso ami same that
Utter the commission liouscs and marhots ,
the unumial throng of buyers In the bis
stores nnd the hundreds of delivery wagons
that hurry through the streets Indicate that
today Omaha people expect to enjoy , as
wnial , the big dinner that has become the
typical feature of Thanksgiving day. If the
dinner has come to dominate the day to the
exclusion of the pious sentiments which It Is
presumed to celebrate It would seem as
though the Almighty were disposed to frown
on the wayward mortal spirit. Tor the
weather that uarcrs In this Thanksgiving Is
most effectively adapted to Interfere with
the culinary preparations for the occasion
Nothing creates more stagnation In the
poultry and pamo markets than a flush of
warm weather at this season It dampens
the hope * of shlppero and the spirits of the
middlemen -The * retailer Is compelled to buy
with the greatest caution , for every fowl that
is left on his hands la n dead loss Then ,
too. the poultry and game cannot be kept In
the same attractive condition that they
might retain If there was a tinge of frost In
the atmosphere. And , altogether , the
weather of Tuesday and yesterday Is the very
worst that the dealers could have encoun
tered liut. with the exception of chickens
nnd rabbits , the market hai hold Its own
remarkably well Tor one thing , the receipts
have been lighter than lias been the case for
many years past. The i-hlppcra are disposed
to go slow whi-n the thermometer Is rang
ing way above the freezing point and as a
result the demand has fully kept pace with
the supply.
I'llUPAIUNO FOR Tlin FBAST.
The big stores and markets that do the
bulk of the retail Thanksgiving buslncas
agiec that the trade Is about < Kiml | to that
of last year The demand for turkcja la
about the same , while ducks nnd geese
arc Ui fair demand The game market Is
strong , and the sale of venison and quail has
been rather heavier than usual Oysters are
glow , the warm weather operating to weaken
the detmnd.
It Is In the large markets and department
storts that the Impetus of the extra trade
In most perceptible Tl.cao have- had all
the business they could attend to for the
past two ilnjs. and most of them are find
Ing no small difficulty In delivering their
orders Extra delivery wagons have been
put on and Kept going rarlj and late , but
there are still many people who gave their
orders Monday and Tuesday morning who
have not received the goods
Aside from the epicurean features of the
day there will bo the usual celebrations of
religion and benevolence. Special services
arc scheduled In most of the churches , and
the various benevolent Institutions will
make the usual effort to provide gold cheer
for those- who are nimble to procure It them
selves At 6 o'clock this evening
the Young Men's Christian association
will give n big dinner to Its members and
friends , and the hotels havn especially
elaborate menus In course of preparation
The rain is an omen of disaster to those
whose Interest la hound up In the athletic
controversy that Is to bo fought out on the
foot ball field today. Fondly cherished
anticipations that tlil.i would bo thp beet
and most cxc'ltlng game ever contested In
Omaha are staggered by the wet , murkj
atmosphere and the sloppy , miry field Hut
with a twist of the wind to the north and
a touch of the frosty air that gives Inspira
tion to the foot ball plajcr these expecta
tions may yet be realized.
The theaters have attractions on the
boards for both this afternoon and evening ,
and the Indications are that the houses will
bo crowded.
The public school children , as usual , re
membered the poor In all of the schools of
the city the llttlo folks were requested to
bring provisions , clothing or anything which
could be used to advantage In relieving want
and suffering They responded liberally , and
though the contribution of each ono was
comparatively small , In the aggregate It
amounted to many wagon loads and will
serve to bring a ray of Thanksgiving sun-
Rhino to many a home that would otherwise
bo desolate. Tilts provisions and clothing
collected were turned over to the Associated
Charities to bo distributee ) .

of that concern with amounts running as
high as $140 duo them for salaries. The
wllnesj was allowed lo lesllfy , afler a pro-
trai'twl nrcument by counsel for both sides ,
to the fact thai there were general rumorn
on the streets previous to the publication
of the article lo the cffecl lhat the World-
Herald was about to fall and could not last
long : also to the effect thai the paper waste
to bo absorbed by the Nonpareil. Ho denied
thai there was any malice In Ihe wriling or

PEYTONS UP FOR A HEARING
Kennedy Identifies Them as the Men Who
Bobbed Him ,
RECOGNIZED THEM BY THEIR FORMS
Mr * . Ilnjlfnn Did Ant ( lot n Onoil I.ooli

The preliminary hearing of the Pe > ton
bojs , Frank and Emmett , who arc charged
with holding up and shooting Hiram H
Kennedy , better known as "Blanche" Ken
nedy , In South Omaha on the morning of
November 13 , was begun yesterday after
noon In Justice of the Peace CocKrcll's
court. The two men are charged with sheet
ing with Intent to do great bodily harm.
The hearing was somewhat dclajcd be
cause of the failure of the sheriff to get
the prisoners on hand at the time for which
It waa set 2 o'clock. In the Interval
the stuffy llttlo court room was filled with
all kinds and manners of "tinhorns , " both
of this city and South Omaha , who were
Interested In the case on account of the
prominence of the principal In gambling
circles.
The first witness called by the state was
John McDonald , an architect , who was used
simply as a means of Introducing a plan of
the Hat at 407 North Twenty-fourth street ,
South Omaha , where the alleged arsault and
robbery occurred. When he was through
Mrs. Emma A. Daylrcs , the landlady of the
flat In which Kennedy had a room , WPS
called. She wa < ! an exceptionally bright
witness.
She testified that Kennedy had rented a
so-called "back parlor" about two weeks
before the affray happened. Upon the night
In question , about 12 30 o'clock , she had
prcpaied the loom for Its occupint , among
other things leaving a lamp burning to Its
full capacity In the room eo that Its glare
would fall Into the hall through th.c door ,
which was left about one-third open. She
then retired to an adjoining room.
HEARD A REVOLVER CLICK.
About 1 o'clock , and some thice minutes
before Kennedy came In , she heard the
"burglars , " as she called them , come In.
They seemed to go first to Kenned'a room ,
where she heard the click of a revolver ,
judging fiom which she thought they were
examining their weapons. In a few minute- ?
the men came along the hall , and one of them
stopped before an open door leading Into
the romn wh'oh ' she occupied Ho lighted a
match and seemed to bo examining the floor ,
but as ho was In a stooping position she
said she could not Identify him. She said
he was a small man.
A few mlnutci after she heard Kennedy
coming up the stairs. When he arrived al
the top she heard him say something , but
she did not It n on what. Then a shot from
a pistol was fired. She rusticd out Into the
hall screaming and saw a couple of men
scuffling , one of them presumably being Ken-
nc-dj. The other man stood In a doorway
and ordered her to "shut her mouth or oho
would be shot. " Her con led her away anil
she saw nothing more. She testified that the
"burglars" had gone out of a kitchen win
dow , because she had found that open after
ward , although she had closed It when she
went to bed.
"Blanche" Kennedy was called next. He
talked readily enough except when the ques
tion of his business waa raised. He told the
story of the row substantially as It has al
ready been published. He was not willing
to admit that ho was a gambler or was run
ning a gambling establishment at 2411 N
street , South Omaha , although he admitted
as much In his cross-examination.
"What do you do ? " was asked.
"I am running a club room for another
"What Is ) our business ? " was the next
question.
"Is that right ? " demanded Kennedy of
County Attorney Baldrlge , who was con
ducting the examination.
DECLINES TO ANSWER.
"I won't advise ) ou. You can answer as
jou please , " answered the county attorney.
"Well , I refuse"to answer , " was the final
response of Kennedy.
"For fear of Incriminating yourself ? " was
demanded.
" "
"Yea
Kennedy said that ho was In the gambling
rooms when the Peyton boja entered at
about 12 30 o'clock ,
"What were they doing ? " asked the de
fense.
"Trying to get action on a llttlo money. "
"What do jou mean by that ? "
"Playing. "
"Playing what ? "
"Faro bank. "
Kennedy testified that ho left the room
In the neighborhood of 1 o'clock , the Peytons
going a short tlmo beforo. He was accom
panied to his lodging place by one of his
omplojeo named Stevens. Stevens loft him
at the foot of the Blairs and ho went up
stairs. As ho pushed open the door of the
hallway on the second floor , two men ap
pearcd before him , both armed with revolvers ,
which , were shoved In his face. Ho pushed
ono aside and then the other vo.o dis
charged. The bullet hit him In the fleshy
part of the neck. Ho thought the larger
man. or Frank Pojton , fired It. Then he
cried out : "Don't shoot any more. Take
what you want. "
Kennedy said that by this tlmo he had
been pushed out on the landing. The man
whom ho identified as Frank Peyton took
his t'tud and n roll of bills , ? 552 In all , which
ho had In his Infldo vest pocket. Ho said
that Frank then said , "Take his revolver , "
which Emmett did , shooting him In the
pcalif at that moment. Dy this tlmo a
crowd had congregated nnd the men fled
through the hall and Kennedy fled just as
fast down the stairs.
IDENTiriES THE PEYTONS.
Kennedy Iden'lflei the Poyions almost posi
tively as tils iiprallants. He said that they
liad handkerchiefs over the lower part of
their faces concealing their mouBtaches. but
a light from the third floor gave him a
partial view of their features , as they
fought on the Etatr landing. Ho Identified
them especially by their forms. Ho denied
Ibat ho had told Chief of Pollco Rrcnnan of
South Omaha or anybody else that they wore
not the men , but ho did state that hn never
Intendqd to tell the chief of his suspicions ,
as ho proposed to work up the case himself.
Ho mvoro that ho told Stevens nnd rcvaral
other of his friends on the night of the affair
that the Pejtons wero'Jils assailants.
Kennedy was questioned on the point
of how the Potons knew that ho hud any
money on his perron on the night ho way
robbed. Ho said that Just before ho left he
changed a $50 bill and flashed a roll then.
The two accused Poytons were not in the
room at the tlmo , but another brother vvua.
Adjournment was taken until Friday at *
1:30 : o'clock , Kennedy will In all probability
10 called to the Bland again as County At
om oy Daldrlgo announced his Intention of
further questioning him.

In Use.
The Elkhorn has just adopted n new font
of mileage book for the use of advertising
men after January 1 , 1S97. The feature tha
d'stlnguUhes It from the mileage book
now In use Is the enclosure of all wrlttei
and printed matter within the book. The
book has three covers made of durable llnci
cloth , and the contract with the holder o
the book , his signature and the stamp o
Ihe agcnl , are enclosed belwecn Ihcsc covers
The object Is to piescrve the written am
and printed matter from being entirely
obliterated
It is a fact that advertising men carr )
mileage books for a longer tlmo than do
commercial travelers and with the use o
the present form of mileage book the matte
that should always be legible Is frequently
obscure while the book Is still In vise. Thr
new books will bo for advertising men alone
the commercial travelers continuing to use
the hooka bound In cardboard There wll
bo two different forms of books. The BOO
mile book will be of one color , and tha
good for 1,000 mllca of another color.

Committee u < St. I.oiilH Taken
Action.
J. 0. Phllllppl , assistant general frclgh
agent of the Missouri Pacific jesterday morn
Ing received a dispatch from St. Louis to tht.
effect that the freight rate committee o
western roads , now lit session there , hai
disagreed over the proposition to give bet
tor rates on packing house products fron
Omaha to Texas common points.
The matter will now go before the Bean
of Administration for > consideration , the
arguments for thoi change In rates being
made again before-that body. It was nec
essary that the matter should have re
ceived the unanimous approval of the rate
committee In orden-to obviate the necessity
of another hearing .before the Board of Ad
ministration.
At present Kansas City enjoys a rate
on packing house products lo Texas com
mon points 7 cents Icssipcr 100 pounds than
the Omaha rate. The proposition under con
sideration , and which has just failed to secure
the unanimous approval of the rate com
mittee , provides for cutting this difference
of 7 cents In half , equalizing the rates from
Kansas City and Omaha. / . '

Clkliorn Will Not Iliillil IVcHt from
General Manager BIdwcll of the Elkhorn
was yesterday afternoon shown the dis
patches from Casper , W } o , and the
quotations from Casper papers * to
the effect that the Elkhorn was
about to build an extension west
ward from that point. The new town of
Wolton was said to be the terminus desired ,
necessitating the construction of sixty miles
of railroad. The whole story originated from
a recent visit of the Elkhorn's right-of-way
agent to Casper.
General Manager BIdwcll emphatically
denied that there was any Intention of
building. He said the reports were abso
lutely without foundation. "It Is true , "
ho added , "that our right-of-way man was
In Casper a few dajs ago. He was there to
FCO about the building of some sheep pens
There Is nothing In the story ut all. The
Elkhorn Is not contemplating any ex
tensions whatever. "
Conductor HnlilH Illn Joli.
The Illinois Central has just reinstated a

Governor Bradley put his feet on a scat
In n coach in which he was Iravellng from

to the road rules and the conductor told the
governor to remove his feet. The governor
disregarded the order andi Conductor Dugan ,

PICNIC FOR THE BURGLARS

Heart of the City ,
TWO PLACES ENTERED WEDNESDAY NIGHT

The city la still being torn wide open by
b'urglnrs and erooKw.
This Is a positive condition nt the present
time , ilcsp'lto the dally assertions or the
authorities to the effect that no burglaries
are being reported nt headquarters.
' 'Were nny burglaries reported today ? "
was asked ot Captain King of the police , who
Is In charge of the day force , jcsterday
morning.
"None , " ho answered.
Lest night the crooks made a good haul
In Glllan & O'llt Ion's saloon nt Fifteenth
and Ilarncy streets Tl.ey entered by vvav
of Uio side door. After tearing off the cuter
door they opened another door by drawing
an Instdo bolt with a pair of nippers. After
they got In they seemed to have all kinds
of tlmo on their hands to do whatever
they plcascil.
Thej first searched the cash register and
found a key which unlocked the vault door.
The proprietors thcniEelvia never know that
this key 'vould open the safe. Wlih this
key the burglars opened the vault and
searched It thoroughly , nnd In different
places found J.12 , the sum total ot money
that was there. They then selected some
of the finest llrjuors and cigars In the estab
lishment nnd carried them off.
The store of IJarkalow Ilroa , almost
across the street , nt 407 South fifteenth
street , was entered through a back window
Cigars , nnd whatever other propcrt > suited
the burglars , was taken. No money wca
stolen because none was left In the store
The Bailie place was visited In a similar
manner boino tlmo ago , when about (300
worth of property was etolen.
Doth of these casea were reported to the
police , but the latter have decided that It
Is Inexpedient to give uuch cases publicity
Therefore reporters are dally Informed
that no burglaries have been
committed during the previous night. Kvcn
patrolmen nro no longer takcff Into confi
dence , except tile-so upon whoto beats the
robbeilcfl occur The detectives alone arc
given the full lists of the jobs done.
The detective force has been Inadequate
to the demand upon It. It has been of late
assisted by n special squad of patrolmen
dressed In citizens' clothes , but this com
bined force lia'S been unable to cope with
the crooks Jobs are committed In the
heart of the city. Nor one Is arrested , even
on suspicion A few3a > s ago a half-dozen
suspicious characters were captured and n
couple of these were sent to the county
jail , but the work goes on
Jamis W. Carter , a negro who Is sus
pected of committing some of the jobs thai
were done In Council muffs a few dajs ago ,
and was arrested In this city Tuesday night ,
was taken across the river jesterday after
noon Ho agreed to so without requisition
papers. It Is believed that he lies had a
hand In some of the work done In this
citv
citvThe
The police are finding consolation In the
fact , that but llttlo money Is being stolen
As a matter of fact , this Is duo almost en
tirely to the foresight of the merchants of
the city. They have become frightened ai
the work of the crooks and -ft 111 leave llttlo
or no money In their places over night. It
Is no fault of the burglars that money la
not taken , becavso In almost every case
there Is evidence th.it they Imvo examined
every drawer in the establishment In their
search for coin ,

Hoth Must AIIHT T In the DlNtrlut
Court.
Alexander Iloth was jcsterday morning
bound over to the district court by Police
Judge Gordon to answer to the charge of
malicious destruction of property. The man
was arrested and prosecuted at the Instance
of his stepmother , Mrs. Sarah Hoth.
It appeared In the evidence at the pre
liminary hearing that Iloth had had trouble
with his parents. Last Monday they refused
him admittance to the store , 720 North Six
teenth street , but , nevertheless , he persisted
In his endeavor to get In. Finally Mrs.
Hoth locked the door , and , as young Roth
himself testified , In his anger he kicked In
the door.

A vicious dog , the property of James C.
Orton , 2429 Hamilton street , was jcsterday
