If anyone Imagines that II. II. Hanlt , who
liu been playing an extended engagement
as superintendent o ( exhibits ot the expo
sition , has only recently acquired his habit
of holding up everyone who had business
to do with his department there arc plenty
of people In Omaha who can correct the
error. As a matter of fact , Hurdt embarked
in the 'holdup business from the start and
It can bo proven ou his own authority
that It was his practice to extort substan
tial presents In return for his Influence In
the distribution of exposition patronages
Ono ot 1 limit's most lucrative grafts was
in connection with the job printing that was
rcfiuIrcJ during the early days of exposi
tion organization. At that time the exhibits
department was having a large ntnmmt of
printing done tinder Hardt'ft direction and
according to his own Htateincnt no printer
could get In on the deal unless Hardt's
fingers were appropriately greased.
Ilnrdt unbosomed himself to this extent
to the proprietor of a well known down
town Job printing establishment with whom
ho was desirous of driving a bargain. Early
In September , 18i7 , this establishment did
n piece of Job worlc under contract , the
jirlcn of which amounted to ? IO. Soon after
Hardt dropped In at the printing ofllco mid
ordered a quantity of cards bearing his own
namti and his official position , for which ho
was charged $1.50. On September 25 a bill
W.IK went In for the printing and also a bill
for the cards. No answer wan received and
some weeks after the proprietor called on
Mr. Schneider , who had chnrgo of the Sup
ply department of the exposition , to gee why
the voucher had not been remitted. He was
Informed that the bill had not appeared and
asked him to send a duplicate. This was
done and after auother period bad elapsed
without returns ho called on Mr. Schneider
again , and was told that the bill remained
In Hardt's hands.
The printer then called on Mr. Hardt , who
assured him that ho had both bills In his
desk. "Hut 1 have also this bill for $1.GO , "
dded tha Huperlnlendcnt. "Tho exposition
< lon't pay for these and you must make
mo a present of them. "
The printer did not Jump at the oppor
tunity to conciliates the superintendent of cx-
lilblts and Hardt went on : "All the printers
rnako mo presents , and you must make
mo presents , too. If you don't I won't O.
1C. these bills and you won't get any more
of our bualness. "
Hardt then repeated his statement that If
Ills personal bill was receipted ho would op-
prove the others at once. This was refused
nnd Hardt toro the , $1.50 bill up and throw
It In the waste basket. Then ho remarked ,
"Now , If you Bay that this Is all right I
will approve thosu bills. . If you don't , !
won't approve them at all. " Making the
best of a bad situation the printer agreed
to call It all right If Hardt would 0. K.
the $10 bill , and this was Immediately done.
He got hl money , but he never got another
liloco of work from the Department of Ex
hibits. The victim Is not looking for pub
licity In connection with the affair , but he
mated his willingness to make affidavit to
the facts stated abo.vo If It should become
desirable.

Ing Ihut she would prepare a biography ot

Exhibitors from ouUildo the country who
bad displays at the exposition ate rushing
their geode out of the country , and the em
ployes in the customs office arc kept on the
jump making out the proper papers. The
Mexican and Hawaiian exhibits have already
gone , and the Canadian exhibits will leave
today. Many of the smaller exhibits are
also about ready to be taken away. A great
portion of the exhibit * made by Mexico ,
Canada , and Hawaii we're ' given away after
the close of the expotltlon aa eouvcnlrs , and
on these article * the government remitted
the duty which would hire been In force
had the articles been sold. The High cchool
and Belltvus college were both beneficiaries
of thMo gifts.
The government IB not going to sit Idly
by and allow the country to absorb the
Chinamen who were brought hero for exhi
bition purpose * without taking some action
to drive the Mongolian * back to
their native clime. There were 638 Chinese
brought over on account ot the exposition
and all of them reported at the exposition
grounds wme time during the season , but
at the close of the show less than a dozen
remained on the grounds , and these are
nald to have been residents of Chicago.
These people have ninety days after the
close of the exposition in which to make
arrangements to return home , and otter
that time has elapsed if they are etlll within
the United States they may be picked up
and deported without ceremony. The Treas
ury department baa tracers out after them * ,
and It is believed that many ot them will be
Identified in a short time. Forty of them
wore seen and Identified In New York City
by customs officials about a month ago.
Sixty Chinese who had been Imported for
th Nashville exposition were Identified at
Los Angeles about six weeks ago , and were
promptly taken In charge by the officer * and
deported.
The customs office has received notice of
the shipment of twenty-five cars of lead and
stiver oreg for the smelter In this city.
This Is the largest single invoice the office
has ever received.
Wrathcr Bureau Affair * .
„ The local weather bureau has been the
legatee of many of the valuable Instruments
displayed In that portion of the government
exhibit at the exposition. Among these Is
an Improved Instrument shelter and certain
other Instrument equipments , the transfer
being made In view of the early removal of
the weather office Into the new postofflce
building , where It will have greater facili
ties for the work under Its Jurisdiction.
Local Forecast Official Wplah Is pleased
with the outlook for his new quarters , and
predicts he will have the finest weather office
In tbo west. He will have four large rooms
which will be equipped with the best furni
ture used In the bureau , and all new. All
of bin Instruments will he first-class and the
latest Improved , furnishing him with every
facility for the proper prosecution of bis
work. The exposure for the Instruments In
the new building will not be so good as that
In the present location , and to that extent
win In a measure Interfere with the accuracy
of the work , but it the proposed west wing
to tbo building shall ever be built this de
fect may possibly bo remedied.
Mr. Welsh baa long bad an ambition to
have a printing outfit attached to hi * office
to be used In getting out the maps , and
printing the corn and wheat bulletins , and
such other matters aa might be assigned to
bla office. When the weather offlco display
at the exposition was put In place , and Mr.
Welsh eaw a printing outfit among the arti
cles fchown , he cast covetous eyes upon It ,
and set about to have It assigned to hU
office at the close of the exposition. Dut aa
the exposition progressed and he saw the
workings of the outfit , he became suspicious
of It , and when the weather men assembled
here In convention , a number who had these
outfits warned Mr. Welch to leave them
severely alone , OR wltluut material Increase
In his office force ho would find them
more of a delight In anticipation than In ac
tual possession. Accordingly the Omaha tore-
caster cast aside his ambition , and allowed
others to secure the plum.
ConnrntnlatcH The lire.
Speaking of the corn and wheat bulletin
service which IK conducted during the grow
ing season from the Omaha office , Mr. Welsh
said it had become one of the most popular
features of the weather bureau work. H
Bnia the prominence given these reports by
being published at the top ot the editorial
columns of The Bee , and tbo accuracy and
completenen wltb which they had appeared ,
had not only contributed largely to their
popularity , but bad Increased the Importance
ot the service , and be bad received thou
sands of Inquiries about and favorable com
ments upon the reports from several of the
weatern states covered in the service.
Next to the Indian congress at the expo
sition , the largest convention of the noble

PIERRE , S. D. , Nov. 12. ( Special Tele

cut an Important figure In the result on
governor and it hard to secure anything
definite from this source. The messengers
bringing in the boxes know nothing as a
rule except the vote on "Seotty" Phillips ,
their favorite for- state senator , so every
thing Is sent In sealed up and will not bo
opened until the official canvass Is made
next week. This vote Is a doubtful quan
tity. That section two years ago gave a
small majority for Lee , but the precincts

DENIES BAIL TO CHALLIAN
Judge Gordon Holds the Young Man for
Trial Without Bond.
TESTIMONY TAKEN AT HIS HEARING
Wltnrmm Who Wore at ( he Saloon on
the NlKht of the Murder Tell of the
Occurrence , bat Nothing :
Clinic * Oat.
George Ohallman , who Is charged with
killing Bartender James R. Jones by a knife
thrust through the .heart at the Union Pa
cific Exchange saloon , Thirteenth nnd Webster -
ster streets , on the night of October 31 , waa
held to the district court without bond by
Judge Gordon sit the conclusion of his hear
ing In police court , yesterday afternoon.
Stephen Maher and William Grady , Chall-
man'e companions on the night of tbo mur
der , were held In bonds of $500 each aa
witnesses. An effort was made by 'Chall-
man's counsel to have him released on bail
by striving ito show that < the evidence ad
duced Old not make the crime murder in
the first degree. Judge Gordon would not
assume the responsibility of releasing Chall-
man and denied the contention of the at
torneys.
Eleven witnesses were examined tor the
state. They were : J. Johnson , proprietor
of the saloon ; Jennie E. Helm , a domestic
In his employ , and Lulu Moutyou , a guest
at Johnson's bouse on the night of the mur
der ; Dr. A. W. Edmlstonwho examined
the wound In Jones' breast ; Jesse Hack-
thorn , Cornelius Cosgrove and Erlck Simons ,
who were In the saloon at the time the
tragedy was enacted ; William Grady and
Stephen Matter , who were the companions
of Ohallman , and two newspaper reporters
to whom Challman confessed -the killing tb
morning after its occurrence. j
The story of the eye witnesses of the
affair was substantially the ame as told in
The Bee the morning after the murder. It
waa to the effect that Challman , Grady and
Maher , who had been drinking , entered the
saloon and after a round of drink * a quarrel
was started between Grady and Johnson , the
proprietor , because the latter bad refused
to trust him for -15 cents' worth of liquor.
Jones , the murdered man , acted in this quar
rel as a peacemaker and advised Grady to
put on his coat and leave the saloon. Chnll-
man and Maher took no part In this quar
rel.
rel.Tho occupants of the saloon testified that
after the quarrel no harsh words were used
by the bartender , Jones , to cither Chall
man , Maher or Grady , nor was his manner
toward them threatening.
Illinv Struck Without Warning.
After the men bad left the saloon Propri
etor Johnson testified ho went behind the
bar for a club , as he feared tbo men would
return and create "rough bouse. " While be
was behind the bar Jones went to the front
door , which the three men on the outside
were rattling , to see what was the trouble
with them. The fatal blow was struck as
the bartender opened the door. The thump
of the assassin's knife as it struck Joneu'
breast was plainly beard by the occu
pants of tbo saloon , but they did not eee
the knife. They swore that Jones bad net
attempted to assault anyone outside , nor
had bo made a threatening move or spoken
a word before the blow was struck.
Stephen Maber , Challman'a friend , swore
that ho left the saloon before tbo trouble
over the drlnka took place and was standing
on the sidewalk when Challman came out
of the saloon after Grady. He professed to
know nothing ot the stabbing.
Grady , the originator of the trouble , told
his story of the quarrel exactly as has al
ready been quoted. Ho Mid be bad been
employed en the exposition grounds the day
ot tha murder and had met Challman at 2
o'clock and together they came down town
after making the rounds of the exposition
grounds' drinking places. It was 020 ; when
they entered Johnson's saloon. The quarrel
followed the firsU round of drinks they bad.
He swore he followed Maher , who had pre
ceded him by a moment , from the saloon ,
leaving Challman standing at the bar.
From the saloon 'he started west on Web
ster street. At the second house from the
saloon he met a girl he knew and stopped
to talk with her. While thus engaged be
Bays Challmau came out of. the saloon and
walked to where be was standing. Chall
man said In a hoarse whisper : "Qrady ,
I've stuck a man. " Qrady said ho asked
him who bis victim was and Challmau said
It was Jones , the bartender at the saloon.
After thus unburdening himself , he says
Challman entered the yard of tbo bouse In
front of which they were standing and dis
appeared In the rear of It. Challman did not
say why ho had slabbed Jones.
None of the witnesses were asked whether
or not Challman had a knife In his hand
before ho left the saloon. What defense
Cballman's attorneys Intend putting up for
him is not known. /
Challman was In the court room during
the entire tlrao of the hearing and sat like
a sphinx except nt the time of the narra
tion of the murder by Saloon Keeper John
son and at the time when Dr. Edmlston wnn
describing tbo wound. He was at those
times visibly affected.
