The Interior work will require the time o

The making of models for the man ;
columns and other forms of decoration wlilcl

slanting position and a large lump of claj
' was placed on It. With the hands It was
formed rudely Into the general thape ol
the bracket and then with modeling tool *
it wa.s finished In detail. Owing to the ills

President Tnkcy of the Board of Park
Commissioners says that the people who re
gard the artesian well on the exposition
grounds as a waste of money do not know
what they are talking about. He says :
"Tho artesian wrlls have rolved the question
of water for the lakes In the municipal
parks which could not have been settled
In any other way. The well at the exposi
tion grounds will furnish mi ample supply
for the permanent lake and this li worth
much more than the amount expended oven
if the Mow to , not adequate for exposition
purposes. The * flow would continue for as
many years In the future as anyone would
care to look , and the cost of the well would
be saved a hundred Hints over. The flrsl
cost of the well represents practically the
cntlro expense of the water supply for the
lake , when If the water was purchased from
the water company the cost would bo enor

that la required to keep the Ice In Ilanscon :
park In condition for skating costs the board
upwards of JfiOO every winter , and If the
board had to buy nil the water for a lake
In each park It would cost thousands ol
dollars every year. "

front vestibules. 'A law requiring the com
pany to so equip Its cars was enacted by tht
last session of the legislature , and for the
last few weeks workmen have been bunlij
employed In fitting up the cars as ordered
The new law has resulted In a great In

INVESTIGATION BY THE GOVERNMENT
\\Vili1prhtirn .t Co.'x Style of
Slmntt t'i ' anil 1'reni-iitN
AVlileh Appear to He
Omaha Inventors who have been dolnt
business with Weddcrbnrn & Co. of Wash
ington , I ) . C. , and who have been placet1
on the Wcddcrburn "roll of honor" on nc-
count of having produced meritorious Inven
tions have discovered that after having pali
In their money they have been taken In li
fine shape. Regarding this It Is reportet'
from Washington that what Is sold to be t
gigantic fraud Is being Investigated by tin
Postonico department 'and the commlsslonci
of patents.
For a long time In nearly every papei
an advertisement might have been notlcet
to the effect that Wcddcrburn & Co. o
Washington , 1) . C. , "Wanted An Idea,1
and further Inviting Inventors to send foi
their Jl.SOO prize oiler. The general tout
of the advertisement was to direct the at
tentlon of the public to the largo fortune :
to bo realized from patented Inventions
At the same time a paper , so-called , wai
Issued from Washington titled "Tho Na
tlonal Recorder , " In which In glowing term :
were pet forth the fabulous fortunes tha
could bo realized by any Inventor who coult
Invent a simple thing , such as an envelope
a stovepipe , a domestic boiler , non-reflilabli
bottle , or any one of a number of elmpli
devices which were set forth In the Re
corder.
To all appearances the Recorder was i
publication Independent of Wcddcrburn t
Co. , but the Investigation has disclosed tin
fact that the two , the attorney and the pub
Usher , mutually recommended each other ti
Inventors for the furtherance of the busl
ness alms of each , apparently as scparati
firms , but In reality constituting but om
man.
SILVER MEDALS FOR MERIT.
As soon as an Inventor wrote to Wcdcler
burn & Co. , the Inventor's name was piacet
upon a list nnd thereafter he received al
sorts of literature of a nature to Induce bin
to apply for a patent through Wedderburn
A stenographer In the olllce of the concert
was employed to send silver medals to nucl
tnventora as hesitated In placing their busl
ness with the concern and those doubtfu
Inventors were later Informed that thcl
names had been placed upon the "roll o
honor containing the names of these win
have meritorious Inventions. "
In this connection It was found that It
numerous cases the silver medal was grantee
apparently as an Inducement for the In
ventor to advance the fees for the filing o
the application , and for advertising for aalo
and In some cases the medal was sent be
fore a report on the question of patenta
blllty was made so that some of the Inven
tlons for which medals were issued wen
not oven patentable. The concern managei
Its affilrs so skillfully , however , that I
wns difficult to trip them without the nil
of the government , and a few individual !
who had publicly decried their methoda wen
Immediately notified that they would be suet
to a large amount by Wedderburn & Co. foi
damages.
The non-patentable cases p'lled up In thi
patent ofllce , however , to such an cxten
that Commissioner of Patents Butterwort ]
finally took the matter In hand and orderci
an Investigation , appointing a board cf ex
amlncrs to look Into the business method
ot thte concern. From this examining board' ,
report It la found that Wedderburn wouli
report an Invention patqutible and that wlici
there was no pceslbie chance of securing i
patent. Thus , for example , this concern fllei
two applications tor the same Invention li
twenty different classes of Inventions , ii
eighteen classes of which the Inventions fllei
were not patentable , so that of the forty In
venters who paid this concern for honora
bio services but four had patentable Inven
tlons , and of course but the flr.H In eacl
clars could bo granted patents , do patent
are not granted to different Inventors fo
the tame device unless they are Joint In
ventors.
THEIR PECULIAR METHODS.
The patent ofllce examiners further fount
that Wedderburn had tiled In three dlfferen
groups three application. ? In each , not on <
of which was patentable , so that of thea
nine Inventory not a single ono received i
patent. This means that three Inventor :
would think of some elmple device whlcl
would be reported by Wedderburn as pat
cntable , but which In reality was not pat
entable , but Instead of Informing the fin ;
Inventor that his Invention was not patenta
hie , or the next two that a third WBS ahead
they simply pocketed the fee and let It gt
at that.
In one group this concsrn filed four differ
ent applications but for the same Invention
which was not patentahlc , so that thesf ! foui
received no returns for their money ; twt
groups of five applications , ejch for the tann
invention , not corsldered patentable , mak
Ing ten Dwindled Inventors ; three groups o
six applications , each of which were con
cldered not patentable. making elghteei
fleeced inventors ; one group of seven apnll
cations , all considered not patentablo ; tm
ono group of nine patent appllcatlonc fo :
the , -ame Invention , all considered not pat
ontable. This list Is taken from the offlcla
report of the committee.
But this concern would not only file appll
cations which they have known , and cer
talnly knew In a great many cases , were no
patcntahle , but when the patent ofllce wouli
reject those worthless application ) the ;
would advise the Inventor to file an- appease
so that Wedderburn might get still anothei
fee for appealing ami thus still furthei
tleeco the poor ln\enter. Over forty ease ,
wore- found where Wedderburn had atatct
that the Inventions submitted wcro patent
able , but where an examination disclose
that each application was anticipated bj
previous Inventions.
In u number of case * ) , after Wedderbun
had been Informed by the United Stater
patent olllce that certain Inventions filed bj
them were not patentable , they would
nevertheleis , advlso their clients to have
their worthless patents < iccure > d In forelgr
countries , ami so still further obtain fee ;
from their cllentn , who ln > the majority
of cases were men who could ill afford te
Icao tlicfo amounta.
Wedderburn hao sold his pension claln :
biiElness , and before long the last of tills
ca-ccrn will be announced. This Invcntlga-
tlon will be of great benefit to the Ir.-vcntoir
at large , for Comml < winner Butterworth ha :

A ehootlng ecrapc occurred on the north
bottoms yesterday- 1 .morning , which nearly
terminated the Ilfcvof enc ot the participants ,
CaM Bolic. Thct-ehootlng was done by
Frank Burwcll. Ilurtrell , hlfl wife , end fam
ily of two children , have lived with Bol c
for ecvcral months * past. The men have
followed the occupation of flthcrmen and
have occupied a llttlo shack located near
Eighth sticct and .Grand avenue , a abort
distance north ot tho/Cortland / beach bridge.
Mrs. Burwell has acted as housekeeper for
the two men.
For some tlmo Burwcll has suspected that
Boise was paying undue attention to iMrs.
Burwell , trid although he has complained ol
these Irregular proceedings , his objections
have passc-d unheeded , Saturday he made an
unusually large haul ot fish nnd disposed
of them In the down town market. He
drank quite heavily during the evening , and
when ho nwoko yesterday morning he Im
bibed eomc more liquor and was In lit ccrl-
dltion for fighting. The old grudge against
Boise came uppermost In his mind , and he
proceeded to upbraid his wife for her In
fidelity. The woman at length became
alarmed at his violent manner and started
to run from the1 shanty. The lumbaml
grabbed a repeating shotgun and grasping
her by the shoulder , forced her Into a corner ,
Botsc , who was a witness to a portion ol
the trouble , at this moment took the part
of the woman. Ho sprang upon Burwcll
and attempted to wre. = > t the weapon from hlfl
grasp. In the struggle for Ita possession
the gun was discharged and Boise received
the heavy load of shot In his right leg n
short distance below the body.
Other people arriving upon the scone tele
phoned the police and a number of ofllccn
and the patrol wagon were sent to the scene
of the shooting. It was found that Boise
had bled quite freely from his wound anil
was In a very weakened condition , He wat
taken In the patrol wagon to the Presby
terian hospital and placed ou the operating
table. It was found that the shot had splln.
tere < l the large bone of the thigh , and tint
nearly all of the leaden pellets were stlli
Imbeded In the flesh. Thefo were extracted
and at last accounts last evening the
wounded man was considered out of danger.
Burwell wns locked up at the station on o
charge of shooting with Intent to kill. He
offered no excuse for his act , except that he
assorted he had been drinking and was nol
responsible for what ho did ,

CIRCUS ARRIVES IN TOW
Hundreds of Visitors Throng the hov
Grounds During ths Day ,
INTERESTING SIGHTS WITHOUT EXPENSI

I'urt of Ihe ( 'rent
I , AlciiiinerU- . ,
Rln-gllng Brothers' big clrcim lay In un
dress uniform at Twentieth and Paul street !
all day yratordny. invented of all tinsel ant
glitter and trappings. It was the one daj
out of the seven without the bustle ant'
rush of a circus man'fl life. Even the cagei
anlmalo took a day off and lolled and dozci
In the big tent alone except for the companj
of their keepers , and were glad that thej
were not being moved and shaken about , 01
wcro not stared at by .the gaping multitude
It wau a day of rest.
When n big show strikes a big city ot
Sunday there Is a unanimous desertion 01
the part ot the employes. All do as little
work as they can and everybody who car
leaves the grounds early and comes bad
ns late as prcslble. Fascinating as It np
pears to the general public , circus life be
conico decidedly monotonous ) to those win
follow It day after day through the season
Consequently n big majority of the army o
1,043 employes , which the Rlngllngs earn
on their pay roll , wcro not In eight yester
day. Only enough remained to look aftei
till HUB ,
But there was plenty to see. In a sense
the eights were as Interesting as the gilt
tcrlng panorama of the big show tent. The
robe of glamor was taken oft and a pee |
was given behind the ocenes. The publlt
was given a chance to see how the clrcuf
man lives when he I'.i at reejt. And the op
portunlty was seized by thousands of men
women and children , who roamed over tht
circus grounds from early morning unit
nightfall. They wandered In mid oui
among the tents , peeped under the canvas
"rubbernecked" Into the dining tents , gapet
In awe nnd wonderment at the hogtleia one
tenders as If they had been her a , am
poked Into every place from which thoj
were not barred by the rough-looking can-
vasmen.
The lot on which the circus la located 1 ;
none too largo for It and It requires some
calculation to place the seventeen tents 01
the grounds. The work of raising them was
begun when the circus arrived at 7 o'clock
in the morning , and WES continued lelaurelj
throughout the day.
There are chow tents , and dining roorr
tents , and animal tents , and carpenters
tents , and tenta for other purposes on the
grounds. The circus Is a world In Itself.
SEEING THE ELEPHANT.
The big ohow tent , which Is almost fiOC
feet In length , will not bo raised until thlf
morning , but the tent which shelters the
caged animals and which Is big enough wat
put up at once. The menagerie Is a mag
nificent collection of animals , the pet ol
all being the little white elephant which has
a special attendant to sec that It does nol
soil Itself. Ho stands towel In hand to wipe
off every Heck from its pinkish skin , ant ]
every few minutes rubs off the dirt from the
tip of Its trunk , which the llttlo animal ex-
tendo for that purpose ao a child would its
hands.
The visitors to the grounds were given the
opportunity to witness a grand horse show ,
In a half dozen tents were sheltered BSC
horses and ponies , all of which were opet :
to the view of the public. They formetl
a superb display of horaeflesh , from the
beautiful Arabian prize , "Silver-King , " the
pride of the Rlngllngs , to the brawny draft
horoeo. Without exception every one of the
anlmalo was sleek and handsome , having
emerged fr.dm their weekly scouring of soar
and water.
Press Agent W. J. Rouse escorted a crewel
of newspaper men. over the grounds anil
through the tents during the afternoon , anel
at the conclusion of the trip ushered them
Into a dining tent , the "Hotel DeHaloy , "
where they were served with an excellent
dinner of soup , fish , roasts , entree ? , vege
tables , relishes and pastry. The star dish
of the feast was a planked Mackinaw trout ,
a treat , the handiwork of Monsieur Haley ,
the chef of the show.
The dinner , however , was nothing special ,
as everything that was served the gueots ;
was set before the employee of the show.
It WES eerved at about G o'clock In the dining
rooms. The dinner was ono of the features
for the sightseers , for while It was going on
hundreds crowded about the tents and
watched the circus man' ' as he ate.
. Forbes and Preston , the natty young incn
who came here a couple of weeka ago and
arranged the entertainment fcr the benefit ol
the South Oraalm hospital , left the city Sat
urday night , leaving a large number of un
paid bills. On this account the hospital
women will bo just $30 the richer for a
week's hard work. But then , the women
have had lots of experience , and they will
now be able to give a show of their own
without the help of strangers.
After two weeks' preparation the great
show , which was called " -Mikado's Garden
and Trades' Display , " was opened In a big
tent at Twenty-fourth and M streets , last
Monday night. Every afternoon there was to
bo a concert , and In the evening a vaudeville
entertainment. The prog-am waa carried out
to the letter , and the women began to con-
sratulatu themselves that the Institution
which they represented would have enough
money to carry It through until fall. Every
one connected with the fihow was to be paid
off after the last performance Saturday night ,
then there would be a ( settlement.
Saturday forenoon Fo'bea announced that
bet liad Important business In Council Bluffe
and left the tent , saying ho wa.i . going to that
place. Along In the evening Piston left to
go over to St. Agnes church to tee about
running the show another week. Neither
wcro on hand nt the time for the evening
performance , but the performers went on just
the came , and it was not until Ecttllug
tlmo came that those who had been fleeced
discovered that anything was wrong ,
Among other Inducements to get the women
to sell tlckcLi was the announcement that
the management would give a handsome prize
to the woman selling the most tickets , In
an attempt to carry off the prlze > , some of
the women worked early and late celling
tickets. Eight local merchants were Induced
to make a display of Ihelr wares at $12 per
dUpl'iy. To all appearances the show was
progresilng nicely , as the attendance was
Kood at every po'fonnanco , and the women
Interested had no knowledge of how Preston
nnd Forbcii were running the financial end.
It now transpires that scarcely any bills
were paid. When a creditor dared to Insult
tile managers by requesting something on ac
count , ho HOB given a stony stare and told
to come around after the performance Satur
day night. In this \vay hills amounting to
about { 250 , accumulated and still remain un
paid , Some of tlio creditors and the amounts
luo them are : Franek's bank , $100 ; falarlea
of the vaudeville people , $90 ; Howland &
Bradford , lumber , $15.90j Brewer & Sloino.
Irayage. $7.50 ; stage hand , $ D ; Beaver Brcvs. .
; i.50 ; Larcon & Larson , liquor hill. $ S. and a
lumber of smaller accounts. It Is estimated
hat Forbes and Preston carried away some-
hlng like $350.
When It became known that the managers
las eloped with the ca h , there waa a wild
cramblo for the box office receipts. Jus-
Ices of the peace and constable ] were In de-
nand. Ex'ilbltors made a riwh to get their
i-rpcrty out of the way , although there was
10 reason to suppose that the cxhlblu weiv
n danger of being attached. Upan invcstlga-
lon It woo found that the big lent had been
cntcd for the ofevuion from an Omaha firm
nd had len paid for In advance.
A-sfaros can he learned Preston and Forbes
inie hero utter manners , anJ without being
aked for references weiv taken up by the
icople and thowed a good tlmo while they
emalneJ here. By holding out theconiml' -

nanaged to obtain their shares , the arrange-
iie-iit being that they were to get 20 per
cent of the tlckeU cold by them. While the

Our new Fall goods arc nil in and will be rcn'dy for sao !

all contracted for , all paid for , five months ago , These
who have watched condilions know what that means.
It means that they avoided the recent advance in price
consequent on the tariff and the labor troubles in the
East. It means a saving to our customers of ten to
fifteen per cent. It means c'othing for less thin you
bought it for last fall. Whi'c this is an uncxpcctcd
benefit , we don't ask any particular credit for it. As good
merchants , it is our duty to save our customers all we
can , We take a pleasure in it. Our business'haa

day nlRht. The team which Mr. Peisons
was driving became frightened on Q street
and ran Into the curb stone , damaging the
vehicle and throwing Mr. Persons to the
pavement. Ho struck upon his head and for

over the head. The thief attacked him with
a piece of scantling and Injured his head EO
badly that It WEH feared he would not live.
