IIM THE OMAHA DAFLV 111313 : TirTRSDAV , SBPTISMHTJH 1 , 180H. 5 T vnurro IMPIMPI OTAI w liXPRESS PACRACt STOLEN Paftiflo Agftln Suffers the Loss of Three Thousand Dollars. MONEY TAKEN FROM THE DRIVER'S ' SAFE Driver Arrlillmlil Hlnrl * for ( lip Depot , CollrctliiK on tlic AVny , nnil MIC Vnlniililr I'nukaic * IllMipitenrii DnrltiK ( In- Trip , A package containing 13,000 In small bills consigned by the First National bank of Omnlia to the Cttlrcns National bank of St. I'aul , Minn. , was mysteriously taken from n small K.ifo that was In one of the 1'nclflc Express company's wagons yesterday morning at 8.30 , The wagon had been driven Into the alley In the rear of the commission houses on the south sldo of Howard between Ninth mid Tenth streets by Ocorgo Archibald , the driver , and the robbery was committed , Archibald alleges , while ho was In one of the commission houses collecting express matter. The sufo , which la of the regula tion express pattern , had been opened with n key. The stolen rnonoy was in a com partment with several packages of Jewelry , but none of these were taken. At the time of the robbery the alley was deserted. While the police and the express com pany's officials do not openly charge Archi bald with the theft , they believe ho knows more about the robbery thau ho caroa to tell. Ills explanation of the matter la not entirely satisfactory and is very contradic tory. Ho will bo held by tbc police until the matter is cleaned up. Archibald's Btory Is that ho left the com pany's offices at 7:55 : a. m. yesterday for the Tenth street depot , where ho was due an hour later. The stolen money he received from Money Dill Clerk O'Toole , Klvlng the latter hla receipt for it. Ho placed the money in the safe and se curely locked' it. Ho is positive ho locked the safe. From the olllcc he drove about the city collecting express matter. At about 8:20 : ha says he drove Into the alley where the robbery was consummated nnd halted the team In the rear of the commis sion house of Strelght & Howes , which is about I ha middle of the block. Ho says hoentered this flrrn's. store room to pick up express matter , nnd when he returned to his wagon ho found the door of the safe wide open and his way bllla and papers tcatterod about the floor of the wagon. The package of money waa missing. Ili-portliiK the HohlxTj- . Archibald says ho was not absent from his wagon over seven minutes. Immediately lifter the dlscovcroy of the robbery Archi bald says he informed the employes of Strelght & Howes and search was made of the alley , but no trace of the thieves could bo found nnd no ono could bo found who had seen anyone leave the alley at any time pre vious to or after Archibald had driven into It. Archibald's story docs not tally with that of the employes of Strelght & Howes. The shipping clerk says positively that Archi bald wns not In the building nt all prior to the robbery and that the only time he entered the building waa after the alleged robbery had been committed. He then en tered it to announce the fact that ho had boon robbed. The only other firms on the block whoso buildings open on the alley besides Strelght & Howes arc HIddell & Co. and Ferron & Cooper. The employes of both of thcso firms Btato that Archibald did not enter their buildings. All say ho simply stood at their back doors and called to them nnd asked If they had anything to ship. At no tlmo according to the stories told by the employes of these firms was Archibald out of sight of his wagon. Another fact that looks , suspicious to Agent Huntoon of the express company Is Archibald's failure to re port the robbery to him until nearly nn hour lifter Its occurrence. Agent Huntoon does not want to believe Archibald U guilty , but ho says everything points to his guilt. There nro but two kcya to the safe , Archibald had ono and Money Dill Clerk O'Toole has the other. Some time ago several safe keys were either stolen or lost , but whether or not any of these keys fitted the lock of Archibald's safe Is not known. Archibald has been In the employ of the express company for over ten years and has always borne an excellent reputation. Ho U a single man. Sums of money exceeding the amount stolen many times over have been entrusted to his care In times past. Last week ho carried safely to the depot ono shipment of money amounting 1o J160- 000. Tuesday night his safe contained $14- 000. His duty with the express company was the collcctlnfi of money shipments. ' Of late , owing to press of business , ho had to combine this work with the collec tion of express matter. 1'iirt < if tlit * Snfc'N Content * ! . Detectives In the employ of the express company last evening found two packages of claim tickets that hod been a part of the safe's contents lying In the tall weeds on 'the ' vacant lot on the west side of the nlloy und Immediately opposite the rear of " Strelght & Howo's , It "was at this point that thn wagon wns halted. The packages were evidently thrown there from the wagon , as the soft earth docs not show the slgna of footprints between the place the packages were found nnd the mlddlo of the ulley. The packages were placed where THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is duo not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination , but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured hy scientific processes Unowu to the CALIFORNIA.

Y. found , the detectives bcllevr , an a blind to throw tlifin oft the right track , Archibald hn been nubjocted to novrral UioroiiKh "swcnllngs" by the police , but still sticks 'to ' his original story. For some tlmo Archibald has been living at the Hen derson hotel , Ninth nnd Karnnm streets. When the police went to KCC the" proprietor he treated them very discourteously and'almost told them to leave the place when ques tioned regarding Archibald. Ho positively refused to discuss Archibald or his manner or mode of life. OTiiTnip dAlIIER ( Continued from First Page. ) plause. ) This IB your exposition ( applause ) , this Is your city ( applause ) , and we all re joice that Nebraska Is your state. ( Orcat applause. ) You have carried the fame of our country nnd of our state all over the civilized world ; you have been received nnd honored by princes , by emperors and by kings ; and Cody , the titled women of the courts of the nations of the world have- been captivated by your charm of maniifr and your splendid manhood. ( Cries of "flood , " "flood. " ) ( Applauw. ) You ore known wherever you go , abroad nnd In the United States , as Colonel Gody , the beat representa tive of the great and progressive west. Uut here you have a better title. It Is one that has grown up In the hearts of your fellow citizens , nnd the title we give you is "Our 1)111. ) " ( Prolonged applause. ) You stand here today In the midst of a wonderful as sembly. Hero are representatives of the heroic and the daring characters of most of the nations of the world ; you are entitled to this honor , nnd especially entitled to It here. This people know you as n man who has carried this demonstration of yours at home and abroad ; you have not been a showman In the common sense of the word ; you have been a great national and un International educator of men. ( Applause. ) You have furnished n demonstration of the possibili ties of your own country that has advanced in In the opinion of all the world. Dut we who are here with you for a third , or more than n third , of n century , we remember you moro tenderly and dearly than the others do , for wo remember that when this whole western land was a wilderness ; when these representatives of the aborigines were at tempting to hold their own against the on ward tide of civilization , the settler and the hardy pioneer , the women nnd the children , always felt safe wherever Cody rode along the frontier , and he wns their protector and defender. ( Great applause. ) Cody , this Is your home. . You live , in , tho.hearts , ot the people of our elate. God bless ydu'alid keep you , and prosper you , In your . splendid work. ' ' ' - ' Colonel Coily'n Iteniionnc. As Colonel Cody advanced to the front of the platform to reply to these felicitations ho was received with another burst of cheers. Ho was plainly deeply affected by the evidences of esteem that greeted him and deplored his Inability to adequately ex press hla appreciation. He said : You cannot expect me to make adequate response for the honor which you have be stowed upon mo today. You have over whelmed my speaking faculties , for I cannot corral enough Ideas to even attempt n co herent reply to the honor which you have accorded mo. How little I dreamed In the long ago that the lonely path of the scout and the pony express rider would lead me to the place to which you have assigned me today , and hero near the bunka of the mighty Missouri , which Hews unvexed to the sea , my thoughts revert to the early daya of my manhood when looking across this rushing tide to ward the cast to the Atlantic , where then I supposed that all men were rich and all women were hnppy. My friends , that day has corno nnd gene nnd I stand among you a witness that nowhere in the broad uni verse are men richer In manly Integrity and women happier in their domestic kingdom than In our own Nebraska. ( Great applause. ) I have sought fortune In many lands , but wherever I have wandered that flag of our beloved state has been unfurled to every breeze , from the Platte to the Danube , from the Tiber to the Clyde , the emblem of our sovereign state has always Moated over the wild west. ( Applause , ) Tlmo goes on nnd brings with It new duties and responsibil ities , but we old men , wo men who are called "old-timers , " cannot forget the trials and tribulations ! that WP had to encounter while paving the path for civilization and national prosperity. The whistle of the locomotive has drownoil the howl of the coyote , the barb wire fence has narrowed the range of the cowpuncher , but no material evidence of prosperity can obliterate our contribution to Nebraska's imperial progress. ( Applause. ) flentlemcn of the Directory , I will not as sume to comment upon what you have done to make this exposition the peer of all that has gene before. Far abler testimony than I can offer has sped on electric wings to the uttermost parts of the earth that what you have done In the Intcresta of Nebraska has been well done. ( Applause. ) Through your kindness today I have tasted the sweetest fruit that grows on ambition's tree , and If you will extend that Kindness and let mo fall back Into the ranks , those rear ranks , ns a high private In that rank , that will be honor 'enough for me. ( Ap plause. ) Now , will you extend tha.1 kindness and let mo call upon the Wild West , the Con gress of Hough Hlders of the World , to voice their appreciation for the kindness that you have extended them today. At the algnal of Colonel Cody the Wild West then gave three ringing cheera for Ne braska nnd the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition. Their band followed with "The Hed , White and Illup , " and at the last note of the mel ody the McCook band played the "Star Spangled Hanuer" and the Wild West fell lute line for the parade through the grounds. I'anwInK < > f " 'I' I'nmilr. The carriages were brought In upon the I'laza nud occupied by the dignitaries who had occupied seats upon the platform. Press Agent Fellows of Colonel Cody's aggrega tion piovldcd an overland stage coach , I which ho turned over to the newspaper men. Following this came the state , expo- hltlon officials and the Invited guests , with Colonel Cody In the lead , mounted upon the pplcndld chestnut gelding. Duke , presented to him by flencral Miles soon after the battle of Wounded Knep. Then there were the Cossacks , the Cubans , the flcr- man cavalry , the Sixth United States cav alry , the Mexicans nnd representatives of twenty-five foreign countries. In the wako of the Cody procession rode Captain Mercer and the 150 Indians who are in the congress on the north tract. The line of march was up the Cast Midway , over the North viaduct and west over the North Midway. At Twentieth street the procession turned and went north , proceed ing as far as the gates of the Indian con gress , where It countermarched ns far Is the Midway and then moved down that street to the Administration arch , where It was reviewed by the members of the execu tive committee of the exposition. From this point the parade passed in the rear of the Manufactures and Electric building to the Sherman nvenuo gate and disbanded , Colonel Cody's people proceeding to the ( how grounds and Captain Mercer's Indians back to their camp. Old Tlnifr * Uat Ono of the most felicitous features of the celebration was the informal luntJirdn-Slven to the old-timers by Colonel Cody nt Alar- kcl's cafe Immediately after the parade. This was not on the program , lu fact.It was not mentioned , until just as. the parade was breaking up. when Colonel Cody suggested that ho had detained the party long past the dinner hour and that ho would like to compensate by a little social spread. The proposition carried without the slightest ob jection and the party adjourned to the cafe , where they were served with the most tempting repast that the establishment could provide nt such short notice. When the champagne shimmered In the glasses and the cigars were lighted the dinner was followed by ono of the most Interesting social sessions that has been enjoyed In Omaha In years. Never before had such a party of representative pioneers met around the banquet table ami exchanged happy ( reminiscences erf thrlr younger day * .

Superintendent Youngera of the Nebraska fruit exhibit la furnishing some conclusive evidence that this It not the first exposition where the state has been In the lead In the way of showing llrst-class fruit. The evi dence Is In the form of bronze and silver medals , all of which are In n case close to the fruit tables and under lock and key. The first medal Nebraska won on Its fruit was at a horticultural exhibit In Daltlmore In 1871. This waa on n general exhibit. The next was In Uoston In 1S73 , and was given on account of the largest variety of pears being shown by any ono state. At that time Nebraska had forty-three varieties on exhibition. The next prize was awarded In 1S7G , at the Centennial , when the state wns gl\cn a medal for the best collection of fruit. At the World's fair , Nebraska won a medal for having the best collection of grapes. Prior to this time the- state had won medals at Boston and Philadelphia , where It had , shown Its fruits. 0. M. Sliuto has arrived for the purpose of making the necessary preparations for the Installation of the Colorado fruit ex hibit. The furniture la hero and Is being put In place. The fruit will reach Omaha either Saturday or Sunday nnd the exhibit will be ready for Inspection Monday morn- lug. Mr. Shute Hays that It will bo one of thu best exhibits In the building , as the fruit out in the state that ho represents la unusually fine this year. Oregon has made several additions to Its horticultural exhibit and has 'the 'space1 as signed pretty . 'well' filled. The fru'lt from that state Is coining bn'Mn go'od Shape and stands up well after'It aYrlvt's'-an'H'ls ' ' placed upon the tables.

' v > ' " Nebraska put eight barrels of oltl applea upon thu tables yesterday and the 'perfect condition of the fruit waa something that proved a great surprise. Of courae they came out of cold storage , but they -were s sound and perfect as though Just picked from the trees. Another thing that sur prised visitors at the Horticultural building waa the fresh cherrlea. It was supposed that cherries were out of the market nearly a month ago , but they are still here nnd ore being exhibited by Nebraska , but by no other state. Superintendent Youngcrs says that ho will bo able 'to ' show cherries for at least ten days longer. Douglas county keeps right on piling up the grapes and peaches. There does not seem to bo any end to the supply , and with good luck Superintendent Walker says that he will show Douglas county peaches on the last day of the exposition. Luck or no luck , he says that ho will have grapes at that time and lots of them , too. I.M1IAXS PHOM THIS SOUTH COM13. Sum mid Foxcn nnil I'oiieiin front the Oklahoma AKeiicIrn Are Here. The Indian congress was reinforced last night by the arrival of upward of 100 ad ditional braves from the Poncn and Sac and Fox agencies , and other parties will arrive constantly during the next few days. A largo par y of Klckapooq that were sched uled to appear last night were delayed on the road , but will be here before the end of the week. Captain Mercer Is also ex pecting n number of other additions , Includ ing some of the Northern Cheyennes , Pueb los and additional tribes of Sioux , and by September 10 the aboriginal population of the camp will bo Increased by fully 400. Then the congress will bo In full blast and Captain Mercer has arranged to make It a big feature during the last two months of the show. The camp will be enlarged to accommodate the largo additional number of tribes , and It will bo extended In the direc tion of the Midway so the Interior of the Camp will bo visible from Twentieth street. With the assistance of- the new * 'arrivals a more elaborate program of dances and Sports will bo put on every day , and thcre'-wliral- ways be some Interesting f&iture- amuse exposition visitors * ' So far "fl'lids bc < ? ri" Im possible to carry out 'a'ny 'set ijlrogranr hi * the Indians steadfastly decline' to tfance utT- less they feel like It , but when there are COO or 700 of them to draw on this difficulty will bo easily .remedied. Last night the Wild Wes't show proved more attractive to the bucks than the usual evening dance , and the bulk of the encamp ment filed off after supper to see Colonel Cody's performance. Even the now arrivals Jolnd the crowd without even waiting to put up their tepees nnd less than a score of Omnhas and Wlnnebagoes remained to par ticipate In the dance. As this was n purely social affair It lacked the excitement of some of the big dances that usually occupy the evening. Dut It was highly entertain ing to several hundred people who congre gated around the camp fires and caught their first glimpse of a genuine aboriginal festivity. 1'I.AXS FOIl TIIK COUIIT CAH7VIVAI , .

Those who expect to participate In the parade will meet at the Auditorium promptly at 8 o'clock , where attendants will bo ready to give all neces sary assistance. It Is announced that the Battle of Confetti will positively bo a fea ture of the carnival. The objections of the exposition management have been met by confining the feature to the roped space In front of the Government building , nnd as no confetti will be sold on the grounds , those who wish to participate In the novelty will be compelled to bring their ammunition with them.

Vice President II. B. Maxson of Nevada writes Manager Rosewater that the excur sion of the Nevada Press association has been postponed until later In the season. At the time of writing ho was engaged In get ting up another excursion of Nevada people and expected to leave with It August 29. Ho reports that the people who have visited the show have roruj back with the most glowIng - Ing accounts of Its magnificence and Inter est and that many people from that state will make the trip during the next two months. In the meantime Mr. Maxson has been In dustriously booming the exposition through the Nevada press and a number of Interest ing articles have appeared In various pa pers over his signature. The Dally Independ ent of Elko carries n list of the Nevada rep resentatives of the exposition , Including the commissioners from each county , lu largo typo on Its first page , and a recent Issue contained a column article by Mr. Maxson In which the attractlbns of the exposition and Us value to Nevada were very effect ively presented.

The prospects for an abundant supply of peaches on peach day tomorrow continue to grow brighter , and the Indications are that unlofs there ta an unusually large crowd tbero will be enough of the fruit to go around and glvo all a taste. Uncle Deb Fitrnaa has sant word that he will ship 150 cases and Russell of Wyraore has served nctlbo that ho will bo on hand with 300 cases. Fruit growers of Utah and Missouri have- telegraphed that they have sent con- elgnmcnti , but how many they do not atate. Tho'b'aBkeM und crate ? of peaches will be stacked on the space reeerved for Colorado , and will be given out as parties enter the building. The doors will be thrown open at S o'clock In the morning and peaches will be given away as long as the supply lasts. Superintendent Taylor of the Horticultural building desires to eay that there will not be enough fruit to last all day , and for this reapon , ho advl'es people to come early and enter the grounds at the gates In the rear of the Georgia building on the Bluff tract. Stiuitoii UN u iafe Snver. Superintendent Stanton of the Illinois fruit exhibit In the Horticulture building Is run ning a llfo saving service of his own. Ho made his first reseue yesterday afternoon , when ho pulled a girl from the pool In front of the Horticulture building. The pool In front of the Horticulture building on the Bluff tract Is about four feet deep and Is filled with aquatic plants , many of which have broad leaves. Yester- < lay a man and his wlfo and a daughter were walking along the edge of the pool , when suddenly the daughter , a girl some 13 years of age , stepped out and planted ono of her feet on the leaf of one of the plants. Instantly the plant went down nnd so did the girl. Superintendent Stanton , seeing the girl struggling In the water , Jumped in , pulled her to the surface and handed her over to the parents , who had concluded that tfcelr daughter was certain of being drowned. IOWII'M Orjim ncnioveil , The big pipe organ that has stood In front of the auditorium of the Iowa state build ing is a thing of the past , so far as the exposition Is concerned. It was manufac tured by a firm nt Macon City and was sent hero to be exhibited. After being set up it was the Intention to have concert music played upon the thing each morning and afternoon. From the start the Instrument refused to supply the desired music. Half a dozen experts overhauled the thing until at last It was given up as a bad Job. Yes terday It was removed from the building and shipped back to the maker.

The heat that was experienced on the outside yesterday did not compare with the torrldlty that fairly frizzled the atmosphere In the Service building. This was the oc casion on which the regular monthly passes are Issued to concesslonlsts nnd their em ployes , nnd they s.wnrmcd In by the hun dreds to secure their transportation. But It developed that a largo number of the pro prietors were n trllle shy on their percent ages , and these were given the option of set tling up at once or paying their way Into the grounds tomorrow. Some of them fairly tore their hair for a couple of hours , but their demonstrations did not phasq the man behind the grating , who stood pat on the proposition , "No money , no pass. " Some of the conccsslonlsts seemed to have the Idea that It was a terrible outrage to co erce them Into paying up and they ex pressed their feelings pretty forcibly. Hav ing vented their sentiments most of them settled their accounts nnd secured their passes. Ttpll.-M of > nvii 1 "Warfare. Captain Stedman of the government naval exhibit has written to Admirals' Sampson , Dewey and Schley , Captain Chadwlck and other naval commanders , who have become famous during the last few months asking them to send him such relics of the war as they hnvo In their possession which will beef of Interest to exposition visitors. In this way ho expects to secure quite a display of articles that will be of exceptional Intx-rosls on account of their association ' 'withthu recent naval battles. Yesterday a water tonkywas Iruitalleajln the exhfbft which was recovered from the wreck pf , thp Spanish gunbont "Jprge Juan , " which was sunk nt the capture of Nlpo Bay by the United States ships Annapolis , To- peka. Wasp and Loy'den. The ! relic Is pre sented to the exposition by Lieutenant. Com mander Vllllam S. Cowlcs of thq Topeka. Major llnrkc'n Admiration. Major Burke who Is in advance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West , regards the exposition as about ns big a show as has ever been put upon the boards. Speaking of It he said : "I have seen every exposition held since 1800 and none of them , aside from the World's fair , could bo compared with the one being held right here in Omaha. The men who conceived and built up the cxpostlon are en titled to more credit than can over be given them. It was a stupendous undertaking nnd would have dlsqouraged most men. However , they have accomplished their aim and the exposition will bo n great success , both as a school of education and financially. " lleeorit of Attendance , The record of admissions for the third month of aho exposition shows n gratifying Increase that fully realizes the expectations of the management. The total attendance during August was 471,176 , or an average of 15,298 dally. In June the total attendance was 289,351 , or 9.4C3 dally , and In July It was 231,684 , or 10,099 per day. The aggregate Increase In July over June was 42,333 nd- mlsslona , while the Incrense In August over that of July wns 142,492. This Is an In crease of almost exactly 40 per cent and Its continuance during the next thirty days will mean 700,000 admissions during September. Creek Letter ( IlrlH Knjny It. About 100 delegates to the national con vention of the Kappa Kappa Gamma frater nity at Lincoln representing schools In nearly every part of the United States spent yes terday at the exposition. In the evening they were tendered a reception nt the Ja panese tea garden by the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and this was a very enjoyable con clusion of n pleasant holiday. The reception continued from 7 to 8:30 : o'clock and during this tlmo the fraternities had the pretty re sort to themselves. It was prettily decorated in the Kappa colors/and .HgBt rcfreslOnfrnts ' ' ' were Ber've'd by ho IqcaJ society. ' . / . ' I'liHtiMinen iildljTH' l ) y. In dcfertnco ' to the requestoXcblonel'c.'j , , Dills of th'e..Second Nebraska Votantcr's. thq celebration of Soldiers' day , which was to have occurred Saturday , has been postponed to some day next week. Colonel Bills ex pressed the appreciation of his command of the courtesy of the exposition management , but suggested that ho would prefer to have the boys rest In camp'four or five days be fore they are received on the grounds. The occasion will lose nothing by the delay and the roldlers will bo given a rousing recep tion nt the White City. Dour Oiitimt. MINNEAPOLIS , Aug. 31.
