Forecaster Welch of the Omaha station ol the weather bureau sajn that there Is a dis position on the part of many thoughtless per- noun to speak slightingly of the weather bureau and say that It will rnln because the bureau predicted that It would not , or thai It will bo dry because the forecast Is foi rnln. All of th's talk la very unreasonable , The wcnthor bureau cannot predict for out city or any limited locality ; UH forecast ! must bo for some considerable area , and II It does not rain In Omaha when the forecnsl Is for rnln that Is not proof Hint the bureat Is at fault. It may hnvo rained nil ovei central Nebraska , or In a great port of tin territory which rain wns predicted for , am' sllll hnvo missed Oimilin.

Holdup No. 6 for the week took place last night at 8:45 : o'clock on Elghtenth street between Caas and Chicago , observing , an ap parent plan that each succeeding event of .he kind should be brought off three-quarters of an hour earlier. The young man who had .ho experience waa Darl Houthj who Is em- > lojcd by the Omaha Van and Storage com- ainy , and the highwaymen took from him all the money he had at thu time , which amcuntcd to about 11. Mr. Houth loSgcs with his brothers at 112G North Nineteenth street and shortly after supper started to stroll downtown. Ho was going south on Eighteenth street and had reached the middle of the block between Chicago and Cass , when two men stepped directly in his path from a recess between two fences. The street at this point Is un- llghted and heavily shaded an J Mouth did net sec the men until ho was within fingers' touch of them. The bandits sought no originality of method , but told Uouth plainly to throw up hla hands. 'Tho command was obeyed and one of the men searched hla packets , secur ing the money In small amounts. They ex pressed disgust that Uouth was no better provided with funds , and then told him with an oath , "flo ahead and don't look back. " Uouth obeyed and reported the occurrence to n patrolman , who notified the central sta tion. Sergeant Her and Detectives Savaga and Dcmpscy Investigated the matter and searched the central part of the city thor oughly without meeting any suspicious char acters. The darkness of the spot gave Uouth little chance to get an accurate description of the robbers. Prom his IJca of them , however , there Is little doubt that they were the cele brated pair. Neither on this Decision wore an overcoat , and one had a close-fitting cap drawn over hli ears. Their features were obscured by handkerchiefs held In place under the hatband. Uouth Is not very con fident that ho would recognize the men If ha saw them again. Tin' Oltlolnl Oiililr Hook.

Trltblan and Frank Corbctt , cliarRlng that they had won his nicncy by unfair means. Dcnnlgan came to this city from the northern part ot the state , where ho was engaged In the cattle buslneitr , and tried his fortune In a Douglas itrcct gambling room. With the luck of a novlco Dcnnlgan won over $100 and became so encouraged that ho hunted up a poker game which was progressing near Fit- ' tccnth and Farnam streets and played for & ' sitting of eight hours. He was about oven with the game until the last hand , which ho dealt himself. Owing to the latter fact , ho Is unable to see how thu thing came about , but ho claims that the cards so fell that ho- secured three kings and "a pair , while ono of his opponents was accorded four queens. Dcnnlgan staked and lost everything on his full hand and at once demanded his money back on the supposition that something was wrong. He vta refused and therefore caused the arri-st of Trlsblan and Corbett on two charges , one of gambling and another of keeping gambling tables. , llio funeral of the late W. T.
