BURGLARS LOOT ELLIS' ' HOME
Well Known Enilroad Man the Victim of
Bold Marauders. *
HEAD OF THE HOUSE KNOCKED SENSELESS

One of the boldest robberies that has been
/ reported to the police for some time was
that of the residence of N. R. Ellis , at 1323
South Twenty-seventh st'rcot , ou Friday
i- morning between 3 and 4 o'clock. About
7 $ GO In money , three valuable pieces of all-
1 vorwnrc , a number of railway and other
: piisscB , two suits of clothing and sornu
things of less value were taken , and Mr.
Ellis was knocked over the head and lay
senseless for about an hour. The mafter
was it-ported tothe police shortly before
6 a. in. , and they arrived on the scene In
less than three hours after they learned of
It. The olllcrs reached the house n little
utter S o'clock.
The robbery took place while the family
did the Intruders
was asleep. So qulctfy
truders do ' their work that
they hail collected all of I'he
silverware In the house and bundled It to
gether and entered the room where Mr. El
lis was sleeping and had gone through his
trousers , taking out about $60 In money
from his pockctbook and selecting the passes
that were of moat value , and were about to
t depart with their plunder before anyone
heard them. In their greed to get every
thing within reach , the burglars took more
silver than they could carry and In getting
ready to leave they dropped ono of the
pieces of silverware on the lloor.
This aroused the head of the house , and
ho ran downstairs to see what was the mat
ter. When he reached the bottom of the
stalrcaso , before ho saw anyone , somebody
dealt htm n blow across the back of tbr
head that scut him reeling to the floor. He
the entire family
gave a groan that awakened
down to the
ily , who came scampering
first lloor without knowing whit had hap
pened. They got there just In Mmu to s.'o
the burglars running down the street. Mr.
Bills was found pretty badly Injured and
did not regain consciousness for an hour. The
family first turned their attention to h.m .
i rather than trying to look after the escaping
burglars.
An examination of the house- showed that
the callers had gained an entrance through
n window , which they had cut open. Both
tbe front and the back door * were wide o-.ien.
All of the silverware In the house was found
tied up In bundles , but only three of the
largest pieces \\cre missing. Tbo pocKetbook -
book from which they had taken the money
fclicl ft Union Pacific railroad pasi and passes
of less value had been rut Into pieces and
then stuffed back iu the po.let : of the
trousers lying near the bed. A suit of th ?
clothes that were stolen was found In a lot
near Shreley on Friday by the detectives
vho are working on the cast. That U all
they have discovered , however , and up to
date there Is no Indication iluu t'.iey are
opt to recover any of the stole i goivla or
capture the burglars.

their coming wan received by Edward Rosewater -

Ironed cuff , stamped with a 2-cent expo

A LITTLE GIRL AT
THE EXPOSITION.
Dear Mr. Editor : Isn't there a crowd of
people coming to Omaha nowadays ? Seems to
me pretty near everybody has been hero
or Is going to come ; and say , Mr. Editor ,
wasn't there a Jolly lot of Shrlners out there
the other day ? Only I don't think those
red caps are very becoming , do you , Mr.
Editor ? It made some of them look like they
. had just got out of the kindergarten.
! I am getting pretty nearly used to seeing
people from all over the United States and
, every tlmo I go out to the exposition I see
| people hailing from a different state. I saw
I a lady and gentleman talking and I over
heard their conversation. They were from
Boston , and they thought the exposition was
just grand. They had only Intended to stay
four days , but they bad lengthened their visit
Into ten. they had been so delighted with
tbe exposition. Just then my friend came up
i and told me she had something to show me ,
and , going Into tbo Agricultural building ,
what do you think we saw ? A real , live
' dude. I know him the mlnuto I saw him
from the pictures I bad seen of them. I
| couldn't tell from what state he came , be-
i cause ho didn't have any badge on. After I
bad looked him over I was so thankful that
tbero are no dudes among the Nebraska
, boys.
, We were standing In front of tbe Nebraska i
I display , where the faintly Is gathered around
' the table and everything Is madu out of
corn. Ho gazed a long time through his ' ,
,
rye glass at the picture and then turned
|
around to a bystander and said : "You don't
pretend to tell me that you can manufacture
! clothing out of Nebraska corn husks ? " and
I the look on his face was too funny for any
thing. My friend giggled , and maybe I gig
gled a little , too. and I think you would ,
too. Mr. Editor , If you'd been there. By this
time the crowd had got thick around the
dude and we couldn't sec him any more ,
I I so my friend and I started away. She said
i It was just a picnic , but I said I just hoped
I that bis father and mother would get him
I home safe.
I have seen a good many things that bavo
astonished me In that Agricultural building ,
and all tbe strangers seemed to bo so de
lighted with everything they saw and Ne
braska's display especially.

Before leavlnz for home last evening E.
V. Smalley , secretary of tbe National Sound
Money League , said :
"I think tbe national monetary conven-
I tlon here was a politic move. It has served
to show where the opposition stands. They
have abandoned the talk about the 'crime of
i 1873' and have taken the quantitative theory
'
as the foundation of their argument. But
I as there Is plenty of money , gold , silver and
bank currency. In the country , the quanti
tative theory doesn't avail them anything.
" \Vo shall have a full report of the pro
ceedings of tbo convention published In
book or pamphlet form. I rather think It
will be very voluminous. Our stenog
raphers tell me that there may bo 300 or
400 pages of It. Any one wanting a copy

IDAHO'S ' TRIP TO HASILA

Lieutenant George Steunenberg of Com
pany A , First Idaho volunteer'infantry ,
furnishes The Bee with the following ex
tracts from a Journal of the trip from Honolulu
lulu to Manila :
AT SEA , July 2S. 1S98. The third Manila
expedition Is three weeks out of Honolulu
and has not sighted a sail. Ou our second
day in Honolulu we were enjoying a banquet
ashore when wo were suddenly ordered to
embark for Manila immediately. 1'Ivo trans
ports put to sea next morning , with flno
weather and smooth sea. There jvas no sea
sickness , but In a few days wo discovered
that cur ships were poorly fitted out for
transporting troops In the tropics. As tbe
weather grew warmer the men longed for a
bath , but the little shower baths proved
entirely inadequate. Then there was no salt
water soap to be had for washing clothes ,
and as n result tbe men became Infected with
myriads of "soldiers' friends , " from whlrh
there Is no relief. However , they accepted
the situation philosophically , even cheerfully ,
and one man In particular created an im-
nions-a amount of amusement. Ho would
select two big graybacks designated as
"Miles" anil "Blanco. " put an army at the
back of rach. and then enjoy a bird's-eye
view of the battle , for they would actually
attack each other with all the hatred of
Ynnkros and Spaniards.
\\'o know little of the state of affairs on
the other ships , us wo travel a mlle apart ,
but ono day n straw mattress that had been
thrown overboard from the Indiana came
floating by , and our men declare It was
covered with graybacks that were standing
up singing "Life On the Ocean Wave. " On
another occasion we came within hailing dis
tance of the Ohio , and n chorus of voices
from her decks shouted , "Como over and help
us scratch. "
Ono morning when about a week out tbo
message was "wigwagged" over from the
Ohio that one of her men had committed
suicide by Jumping overboard. Our men sit
ting around the deck playing cards remarked ,
"D n fool ; look at nil the fun he'll miss at
Manila , " and resumed their game. However ,
his was not the only death , for day after day
would see different fiags at half mast , until
now four soldier boys have been consigned
to old Neptune.
As we came further south tbe heat became
unbearable below , and at night the decks
would be covered with half naked men.
Every evening they would strip cff and line
up In crowds of fifty or more while one of
the number played the hose on them amid
howls of delight. Same , however , with true
Idaho love for gambling , would gather about
tbo tables on the lower deck , stripped to the
waist , and continue their games In splto of
the sweltering heat.
On July 14 we crossed the 180th meridian
and underwent a novel experience. We went
to bed Thursday night and woke up Saturday
morning. We bad no Friday , the 15th Inst
was scratched off the calendar , the men
claimed two days' rations , the sergeants had
to leave a blank In tbe report books anil all
kinds of combinations arose.
Saw the Iami on { 'Ire ,
One moonlight nlRht , scarcely a week
afterwards , we beheld a splendid sight. An
active volcano was seen rising abruptly from
the sea and blazing away scarcely a mile
from us. All hands crowded the decks ad
miring the scene , but one man , with no
poetry In his soul , was heard to remark : "It
beats the devil ; this Is the first land for
thirteen days , nnd It Is on tire. "
Our troubles began about this time. First
the Ice gave out and Cur meat spoiled. Then
the potatoes rotted and bad to be thrown
overboard. The wrier became brackish , and
as a consequence v e had no good coffee. But
tbe men endurei' it ell with Spartan fortl-

tudc , and when wo came near another ship
would always sing out , "Come over and eat
plo with us. " One day 'when the rations
were slimmer than usual they were saying ,
"Man shall not live by bread alone ; he shall
have water with It. " Our drinking water Is
sickening , and we can't but admire the grim
humor when one draws a cupful and blows
on It to cool It.
It is remarkable that In our thirty days on
water we have sighted no craft and had no
news of the outside world. Our latest paper
Is just one month old today , and that Is a
long time when war is going on. Has peace
boon declared , or Is the whole world Involved
In war ? We will arrive In Manila August 1 ,
but will we be welcomed by Dewey , or Im
prisoned by Camara ? Nobody knows any
thing , and morning papers would llnd ready
sale at $1 each.
July 29. Have encountered the southwest
monsoon , nnd the weather is cool and rainy.
Sighted the Island at Luzon this morning ,
and have been coasting along It a few hours.
Whatever Ideas wo had of peace being de
clared were dispelled this afternoon. Wo
sighted an old warehouse ashore , and with ]
the aid of glasses discerned uniformed men
on the roof waving the Spanish flag at us.
I Our captain Immediately ran up the stars
and stripes to the masthead and a fierce
cheer was sent up by the men. They implored
him to turn In to the shore , but of courao
it could not be done without the general's
cousent.
I ' 'mi In n Ground Swrll.
July 3 Been In a heavy ground swell all
day and all kinds of fun going on. At the
mess table this evening the men had to diop
everything and hold to the table , which gave
way and capsized on them. One man had
Just opened a can of tomatoes , wh n a sudden -
don lurch emptied It down the back of an
other's nrck. A second man gra'obdtl an
open cabin door for support , but the hinges
gave way and he and the door wont br.ck
nnd forth over the deck four times before |
ho could stop. The most laughable thns !
was the breaking loose of n. barrel of pork
and chasing a man all over the deck. Ho
tripped and fell and the pork rolled completely - '
pletely over him. Ho climbed aloft to
escape , but the barrel walled for him with
the Intelligence of an animal , and when ho
descended It started for him with such
ferocity that It had to bo seized and laehe'l
to the rail. There were a few sprains and
brulHos , but each swell brought a howl of I
laughter. . i
July 31 Dropped anchor In Manila bay to
day , amid the cheers from Dcwey's fleet. '
Wo have lust received news of the fall of '
Santiago , the destruction of Ccrvera's fleet
and the annexation of Hawaii and are cor
respondingly jubilant. We learn that Manila
Is well frrtlfled and garrisoned by 10.000
Spanish coldlers. while there are now about
11,000 of our troops here. The weather hero
Is very rainy , but not very hot. Tonight
wo can hear the distant flrlnc between the
Spanish and Insurgents and we realize that
It will bo our turn soon. Wo will probably
land at Cavtte tomorrow and prepare to
take the city.

Many years ago , when Lord Dufferln was
about to go to India as viceroy , he In
structed his steward to build a stone wall
around a famous ruined castle on his Irish
estate , In order to protect It from vandals.
On his return home several years after be
found to his amazement that the old castle
had disappeared and In Its place was a cir
cular wall Inclosing nothing. Sanding for
the steward , ho demanded to know why his
orders had not been carried out. The stew
ard Instated that what he bad ordered had
been done. "But where Is the castle ? "
asked the marquis. "The castble , me lord ? "
repeated the steward. "That ould thing.
Shurc , I pulled It down to build the wall
wld ! Do ye want me to bo goln' miles for
matherlals with the finest stones In Ireland
beside me ? " In telling the man to build
the wall his lordship had said nothing about
