BItlY WALKER OUT FOR GOOD

llcilth Follow * .
Hilly Walker , the prize neuter , died at
0:30 : n. m. yesterday In the cheerless room at
South Omaha , where he had lain unconscious
since Monday night nt midnight. Walker's
death IB due directly to blows received dur
ing his light with Andy Dupont , the Kansas
City man , who Is now held In default of
' $1,000 ball on a charge of aiding and abetting
n prize fight. No other arrests have as yet
been made. It Is not known what further
. steps will be taken to eeeuro the prosecution
1 of those engaged In the affair. It Is prob-
j i able that when Coroner Swanson has com
pleted | bis Inquest today the charge
I against IJupont will bo changed to one of
murder.
For sixty hours Walker lay unconscious ,
although the attending physicians did all
In their power to revive him.
The operation which was planned Wednes
day afternoon , was not performed last nlsht
on account of the high fever and when the
doctors called yesterday It was evident
that hu was beyond help. John Walker , a
brother of the deceased , called two Omaha
physicians Into consultation , but the united
efforts of the four doctors failed to bring
the hoped-for Improvement. The patient
was bled yesterday morning for the purpose
of relieving the pressure on the brain , but
ho had lost so much strength that this
did no good.
Chief Carroll was notified and he made
arrangements for Undertaker Urewer to
take charge of the remains pending the holdIng -
Ing of an Inquest by the coroner.
County Attorney Ualdrlge will take no
action with reference to prosecuting par
ticipants lu Che mill until ho receives the
report of the coroner's Jury.
Dupont , who struck the blow which caused
Walker's death , was taken to the county
Jall'by I'ollco Captain Alllo Wednesday for
safe keeping. Ho will be held to await the
result of the coroner's Inquest.
Diilioiit Feels It Keenly.
When Dupont was seen In the county Jail
by a Dee representative ho had not yet
been Informed that Walker had died. The
Jail attaches had not cared to break the
news to him and had told him In response
to his questions that , according to latest re
ports , his opponent In the prlzo ring was
getting better. He therefore asked the
newsgatherer cheerily :
"How is Walker ? "
"Why , he's dead ! " responded the news-
gatherer , who believed that Dupont had
been told of the tragical ending of the
fight.
"Dead ! " queried Dupont in a frightened
whisper , as he pressed close to the bars
a face over which a look of dread had
spread. A nod was his answer. His cyc
filled with tears and as bo turned away
to conceal them bo exclaimed :
"My God , what will my poor wlfo do ? "
Dupont recovered himself In a few mo
ments and resumed the conversation. Ho
declared that be had had no Intention of
killing the "poor boy" and expressed him
self as confident that bo would succeed In
getttlng out of his scrape. He has not yet
secured the services of an attorney and
said bo had no money with which to em
ploy ono. He Is without friends In this
city , for he knows but ono or two men In
South Omaha. These men were to have
secured a $1,000 bond for him , he said , and
ho was awaiting their arrival when the
news of Walker's death was told him.

In this city , the meeting place being the
Nebraska building lu the exposition grounds ,
yesterday , brothers and sisters who have not
all been gathered together at ono time
within the last Quarter of a century , sons
and daughters of ono of Nebraska's earliest
pioneer settlers , are enjoying a family re
union.
David M. Martin settled in Otoo county In
the spring of 1855 and pre-empted n home
stead about three miles from Nebraska City
In 1850. On this farm grew up a large fam
ily of girls and boys , who have since scat
tered from under the paternal roof. The
oldest daughter , Annie , now Mrs. D. C.
West of Otoe county ; Miss. Belle- Martin of
the old home. Mrs. Louise Hopkins of Page
county , Iowa , and Mrs. Mary Chapln of Sa
line county , Nebraska , are the daughters
who are participating In the family reunion ,
which was adlourned from the exposition to
the homo of Will O. Martin , a resident of
Omaha. The reunion was called at this par
ticular time because Mr. John Henry Martin ,
the oldest son of David Martin , the well
known theatrical manager , Is In Omaha at
this time , and the brothers and sisters gath
ered hero to give him greeting. All of the
family arc present except one brother , Solo
mon Martin , now In South Dakota.

A stranger 'In the city fell from u street
car at Twenty-fourth and Scward streets
last night and received a concussion of the
brain. Ha was carried to the drug store
at that corner bv Dr. Word and others and
early this morning he was still unconscious.
The surgeon believes the man will recover ,
though his injury Is serious. No ono saw
the man at the moment of the accident , but
It Is presumed that ho attempted to leave the
car while 'It was in motion and missed bis
footing.
The Injured man was later Identified as A.
J. Smith , who has been visiting the exposi
tion as the guest of Lafayette Anderson ,
2C2S Charles street. He was removed to n
hospital by his friends. The Interne could
express no opinion as to Smith's recovery.

Saturday , when admission to the grounds
will bo free to nil children In the city under j i
15 years of ago , It Is not probable that any ,
great number of absent marks would bo I !
tallied on the sheets. Both Secretary Olllan j |
of the school board and Superintendent of j
Schools Pearse are preparing to see that the ) I
matter will bo thoroughly advertised among ) |
thu school children through the teachers. :
The pupils will also bo requested to tell all.
their acquantances who may attend private j
schools or no schools at all , that they , too , | | |
may take advantage of the opportunity toi
see the great show. As a result a crcnt
horde of the children will' probably crowd
Into the grounds.
The children will need no tickets of ad
mission. It was at llrst thought that these
would bo necessary , but Inasmuch as every
child can got in on his or her "face" they
would bo of no advantage. Secretary Glllan
la making thU known to the teachers. At
tbo same tlnio Superintendent of Schools
Pearse has instructed the teachers to make
a full announcement of the day to the
children.
While It is expected that a great number
of parents will accompany the children to
the grounds , none of the pupils will be pre
vented from going for lack of guardians.
A considerable number of teachers have vol
unteered to take charge of the pupils whoso
parents will not bo able to accompany them.
There will probably bo ono or moro teachers
in every school who will offer to act as sucfc
guardians. The teachers have already done
considerable to enable their puplla to see
the. show. Not a few have paid the admis
sions of children whoso parents have not
been able to do so , nud thereby have given
many a little one a day of pleasure they
would otherwise not have had.

The Advisory board Is taking energetic
steps to secure a building to accommodate
the flro engine company now located on i
Harney street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth - j
teenth etrcets. The lease on this building
expires on November I. The- rent for the
building has been $100 n month and this Is
considered altogether too high for the
Quarters.
In tbo hope of solving the question the >
board recently called for bids for the leasing
of a site with or without a building during
the coming year , believing that seine one ,
wouIJ offer a suitable building. Thrro bids
wpro received , but all of them offered a bare
'
site without a structure. The bids were :
Hugh McCaffrey company , a half lot on
Jackson , near Fifteenth , JtfOO a year ; Paul
W. Jlorbach , a lot at the northwest corner
of Fifteenth and Jackson streets , JCOO , and
John N. Frcnzor , n lot on Jackson near
Fifteenth. JJSO.
The Advisory board has no money with
which to construct an engine house and
consequently none of these bids have been
considered. Consequently another cifort will ]

VKIIV HARD TO KIM1 HlHJISTrtAUS
City Council MeetH Mtiuh Dlfllcnlty In
Men to Serve.
There is no better Indication of the pleni
tude of employment In the city at the pres
ent time than the difficulty which the coun-
cllmen have experienced in securing regis
trars. The worry to fill the boards has
even come near to convincing the popo-
cratlc members of the council that Mr.
Prosperity has established headquarters
very close to Omaha.
It has been a couple of weeks since the
councllmen first presented their list of reg-
Istrars. Out of the 228 men selected nearly
one-fourth reported that they would not bo
able ' to fill the positions on account of their
present employment. A good many of the
;
remainder accepted .because they were able
to serve without losing their positions. The
,
vacancies were again filled and again some
of ( the appointees have refused to serve.
When the booths were opened there were
a , considerable number of absentees
and the council was forced to
hold a special meeting to fill the positions.
The boards were finally completed only after
a good bit of skirmishing on the part of the
city fathers. This condition of affairs Is
a pretty safe basis upon which to ground a
statement that the Omaha labor market Is
not overburdened , for the registrars receive
$3 a day for three days.
Maledictions of greater or less Intensity
were heaped upon Councilman Lobeck ,
chairman of the committee on public prop
erties and buildings , by a goodly number
of the Registration boards. When qulto a
number of the booths were opened It was
found that tbo councilman had failed to
furnish a supply of coal , and consequently
the registrars were compelled to sit In tlio
ramshackle booths without a fire. The en
tire fault Is put upon the councilman , for
at his request ho was given full power to
llx up all the booths , and the cold spell of
the last few days gave him full warning
that today" would bo no summer day.
J.nfayette Day I'oHljioiioil.
Wednesday was generally observed as
Lafayette day throughout the country , but
it was not celebrated In the Omaha schools.
On account of the exposition day It was
thought advisable to put off the celebration
of the day and It was consequently post
poned to the first Friday In November.
It Is probable that on that day every school
will have a program of exercises of consid
erable extent and contributions from chil
dren will be received. The purpose of the
day is to raise a fund , donated by school
choldren of thin country , for the erection
of a monument over the grave of Lafay
ette In Paris , which Is at present unmarked.
The monument Is to ho unveiled on United
Stairs ilav no the Paris exposition , which
Is July 4 , 1900.
llecauco nf this extensive celebration of
Lafayette day , Library day , which is tomor
row , will not result in much of u celebra
tion. Announcement of the day will bo
made In all rho schools anil In rome n brief
program of exercises may be given , but the
celebration will not bo general lu the
reboots.

NO WHEAT HUSHED TO MARKET

The sudden rlso In the price of wheat
during the last few days has hud the ef
fect of stimulating the movement of that
cereal through the western markets. The
Omaha Elevator company has handled a
greater number of bushels during the last
flvo days than during any similar period
for the last two months. The fanners afong
the Union Pacific system and the brunch
lines have In some cases shown a "bull
ish" tendency and a disposition to wait for
an expected continuation of the rise. This
Is especially true of thcue In this Imme
diate vicinity. Hut those at a greater dis
tance are hastening to get their grain on
the market , fearing that the present prices
will not continue. Another factor In thu
movement of wheat from points near by
Is the Inclemency of the weather that has
prevailed for the last week. In many sec
tions the roads have been almost Incapable
of travel.
In speaking of the present sltuat'on ' K
P. Pc-ck of the Omaha Elevator company said
vcsterday : "There Is a general movement
cf wheat toward the catt from all western
noluts. Europe Is demanding and buying
un alt that can bo supplied. The
damage to the Argentine and Australian
crop has compelled acceptance of the
American product at our prices. This aci i
counts for the present rise. Although wo '
have had an enormous yield this year It Is fc
not being put on the market so freely as
ono might expect , considering the foreign ,
demand. There seems to b a feeling among _
the farmers of this vicinity In particular
that the price U going still higher up and i c
It they wait a little longer they will be
well repaid. "
