A Clouily Sky mill Numerous Shower *
AITuot I.ocul Attendance.
Owing to the rainy condition of the
weather yesterday woo ono of the quiet days
of the exposition as far as local attendance
was concerned , as no ono seemed to care to
chance a wetting. But In tha main build
ings there was quite a crowd of strangers
viewing the numerous exhibits during the
afternoon. In the evening they attended the
band concert and the Midway.
At the Artists' Studio Miss Do Arny
" pinked" her colleague , Miss Wallace , at the
afternoon performance ; whllo It was by no-
means a serious accident , It succeeded in
giving them both quite a scare. They are
the principals In the new act that has been
running the last week and glvo a perfect
representation of Emlle Bayard's master
piece , "An Affair of Honor , " which Is one
of the most sensational "turns" on Midway.
The monster sea turtle out In front of the
Deep Sea Divers attracted a great deal of
attention. Captain Louis Sorcho , the prin
cipal diver , who BO ably Illustrates the man
ner of raising dead bodies and sunken war-
ehlps , is tbo diver that made a national
reputation In recovering valuables and bodies
ies .from the wreck of the Maine. He car-
rlco a most complete apparatus and as be
does all his work In a largo glass tank In
full view of the andlence , one gets a good
Idea of the profession.
The enterprising showmen at Hagonback's
trained animal show come to the front this
week with a new act by Introducing
IMadamo Alcadc Capltano and her six forest-
tired lions In a sensational and daring act.
They hnvo also retained Ham , jr. , the funny
Jlttlo ournng-mitang who has made on 1m-
menso hit with the patrons of that place.
The Water Carnival and the Scenic Rail
way also entertained good crowds until late
in the evening.

The horse races were attended by a smaller
crowd than usual Saturday afternoon. There

elxtccnths of a mile for a purse of $75.

inson , who has been a prime favorite and
lias man a good many races of late , did not
do anything ut all In the heat.

JEHUS FIGHT FOR POSITION
Exprenn Driver * Vent Ire on Ono An
other Dccnnne of Unfair Mcnni
to Hold Stand.
Competition among common carriers solic
iting trade on the Tenth street viaduct
reached the high-water mark Friday after
noon wbrn six of the number declared war
and started In to settle differences , rely
ing on their pugilistic prowess. The fight
was stopped In the Incipient stage by the
police to the dissatisfaction of the parties
concerned , who appeared in the police court
yesterday to swear out warrants for one
another's arrest on the charge of assault.
The underlying cause of the trouble is the
Btrategem one of the contestants la said to
resort to for the purpose of swelling the vol
ume of his business. On the viaduct there
la ono "stand , " or position for a wagon
particularly covoled by the expressmen , because -
cause It la nearest to the stairway leading
to the depot below , and consequently the
ono occupying It Is directly in the path of
people who are looking tor express wagons.
Ono of the carriers , William Kelly , is
charged with employing unfair means to se
cure and retain possession of this partic
ular position. Ho has three wagons , and Is
said to keep ono of thorn always nearest
the stairway , sending out the other vehicles
to attend to the business ho obtains. The
other expressmen assert that Kelly even
goes to the pains of keeping a wagon in the
position nil night with horses In harness ,
so as to bo first on the spot early In the
morning.
This expedient brought down on Kelly's
head the Ire of his fellows and Friday after
noon a crisis was reached. There was
enough business to Justify Kelly's using alt
three of his carts and relinquish the stand
by the stairway. When ho returned the
place waa occupied and Kelly Is said to have
tried to force the occupant away by backing
Uls wagon agalrot the horses of the other.
The owner of the second wagon , Allan
Suty , objected , lifted the rear of the Infring
ing cart and hauled It away from the heads
of his horses. Thereupon Kelly Is said to
have alighted from the eeat and precipitated
a fight by striking Suty In the face. The po
lice say thcro wore six contestants William
Kelly , 'his ' son , W. D. Kelly ; Allan Suty , hln
nans , Charles and Joseph , and Press Weaver.
The only one to suffer physical Injury was
the younger Kelly , who sustained a black
ened cyo at Kho hands of the senior Suty ,
For this reason ho asked for the old man's
nrr < "n. Suty In turn filed a complaint against
Kelly , sr , , charging him with assaulting his
con , Joseph , Judge Gordon will undertake
to untangle the knot next Monday.

LODGED BEHIND THE.BARS
Burglars Who Looted Shukert's ' Store Vault
Ontight ftt Joplin , Mo.
CHIEF WHITE SECURES CROOKS' ' CAPTURE
nnil Plunder Trncltcit to Ilnll
n Dnxcii CltlcN nnil Arrest U Twice
Fruntrntcil llcforo Taken
Into Custody.
Two of the men who looted the vault of
Shukort , the furrier , on the morning of Au
gust 13 , and stole fur garments valued at
$10,000 , wows arrested Friday and lodged In
Jail by the police at Joplin , Mo. , acting
under the Instructions of Chief White. They
will bo hold to await the arrival of Captain
Dontihuo and Dotcctlvo Dunn , who left the
city on the 3 o'clocktrain yesterday to
bring them hero for trial ,
Poslllvo proof of their identity has been
secured by means cf photographs from the
Chicago bureau. They are crooks of the
deepest dye , being known in police circles
itbo land over. Ono of the pnlr Is Charles
Dennis , alias "Denny , " burglar and nafo
blower. The other Is Mick La very , olios
"Mack , " of the same vocation ns that of his
pal. There is a third man Implicated In
the burglary and at the tlmo Chief Whllo
Instructed 'the ' Joplin pollco to annko the ar-
rwt ho wan staying with Dennis and Lavcry
at the Joplln hctcl , but was absent when
bis companions WCTO taken > lute custody anil
managed to make his cosapo.
His name Is Charlie Prince , nicknamed
"Chuck. " Ho Is < tihought to have planned
and directed the robbery , and as ho is n
well known character to the police of other
cities Chief Whlto believes his capture Is
only a matter of time.
Owing to the value of the stolen furs , the
'skill of itho criminals who took them , and
the notoriety cf the burglary In poltco clr-
clce , the arrest Is an Important one. Chief
Whlto has had nt work under his personal
direction the shrewdest detectives on the
force , ? e well oa ofilccrs from Chicago , nnd
for a week he haa been absent from the
city tracking the men from one place to
another until they were located , and the
details of their robbery learned.
Thrco .Expert . Crook * .
Prince , Dennis nnd Lavery came to the
city August 11 and rented two rooms above
tiho cigar store at 1515 Harney street. The
apartai .te were sublet to them by a womah
who rents the floor from II. B. Payne , hav
ing an office In the New York Llfo build-
lug. They paid the rent -week In advance
and rarely appeared on the street , having
cooked their own meals and tended to the
housework themselves.
Lavcrywho Is nearly 60 years old , was
commissioned to visit Shukert's store for
the purpose of "feeling the place out. " Ho
made several trips to the furrier's and spent
considerable time examining garments , ap
parently desirous of making a purchase , but
In reality only noting the quality of gootia
In stock and the position of the vault ti
which they were stored. It was evidently
Prince's duty to learn the lay of the land
outside the store , as he was seen ono aftei-
ncon in the alloy by a. clerk who happenea
to bo looking from an upstairs window.
Shukort's employes do not recall over hav
ing B en a person , corresponding to Den
nis' description.
The burglary occurred early Sunday morn
ing. The pollco have proof that one of the
men officiated as lookout in front of the
store , while the other two broke open the
safe and removed the furs by the armful
to their rooms , half a block away. Sun
day afternoon ono of the trio left an order
nt the office of the Omaha & Council Bluffs
Transfer company to call at 2:30 : o'ctock
id the morning for a trunk and several
grips to be conveyed to the Union Pacific
depot in tlmo for the Sioux City train. When
the driver caUed ho found a huge , black
trunk in the hallway. One of the men In
formed him the grips -would not bo taken
on the wagon , as his wife had not finished
packing them. The man instructed the
driver to take the trunk to the depot , re
marking 'that he would follow with the
grips later.
Trailing ? tbo Thieve * .
Lavery and Prince took the train at
Council Bluffs at 0:30 : o'clock. Lavery car
ried a large canvas telescope. As ho is not
strong , howas unable to manage the grip ,
and members of the train crew had to help
him aboard with the load. When Lavery
started to enter the car the telescope be
came fastened In the door and the conduc
tor was called upon to help him to his seat.
The two men sat In different parts of the
car until they reached Missouri Valley.
Then they occupied the same seat and car
ried on a conversation in whispers , acting
BO oddly that the conductor's attention 'was
repeatedly attracted to them.
Dennis' movements on that Monday
morning are not known. Ho met his two
companions at Stoux City , and the three
went from there to DCS Molnes. Detectives
were able to trace the trunk no farther than
Sioux City , but they followed the men to
the Iowa capital and afterward to Rockford -
ford , Chicago and Milwaukee.
Chief White , In company with Detectives
Dunn and Dempsey , and n Chicago detec
tive named Thomas McQuIrowent to Des
Molnes Sunday , August 27 , intending to ar
rest the trio of burglars then , but on their
arrival found the men had left the city.
It was Just before the opening of the Iowa
state fair when officers from other cities
would be on hand to search for crooks
likely to ply their trade there. Prince was
heard to remark that there -would bo too
many men in the city who know him for
htm to remain there la safety ; no ho in
tended to leave.
Prince , Dennis and Lavery had been in
Joplin only a few days when discovered.
Ono of the men -wrote to n friend saying
that all .were well and enjoying their out-
Ing. It was this letter that betrayed them.
One of the persons Tvhoso efforts proved
an effective aid In identifying the robbers
was a young woman connected with the case ,
who went to Chicago for the purpose of
looking over the photographs of criminals
in the Rogue's gallery and at once selected
those of the three men , Afterwards the
photographs were identified by the store
clerks , the woman -who rented the rooms ,
the transfer men and members of the
train crew.
Their llocorda.
Prince nnd Dennis live in DCS Molues ,
where they own handsome dwellings in a
fashionable part of the city , 1429 and 1431
Alliance street. Prince's homo Is furnished
elaborately , He owns a stylish team and
carriage and has every appearance of being
a. prominent eoclcty man , His wlfo is eald
to < bo a notorious shoplifter , having been
the wlfo of a crook named Roberts before
she married Prince , Prince was arrested at
'tho Harlem race track in Chicago last July
by Doteotlve M , J , Conwny , a Pinkerton
man , who was employed at the Trans-
fflUslsslppl exposition lost summer. He was
arrested in Beatrice in 1S97 for safe-Wowing
and has served time in the penitentiaries
at Salt Lake and Georgetown , Tex ,
Dennis has been out of the Jackson
( Miss. ) penitentiary only a short time. Last
winter he was arrested in Kansas City for
shoplifting , Laverywas taken into custody
in Waohlngton , D. C. , in 1892" for safe-
blowing. Chief White says all three are
wanted In other cltlei for various crimes ,
but hewants to have them prosecuted hero
before other officers learn their identity.
Captain Donohue nnd Detective Dunn are
expected herewith the two crooks today.

Mnxlc Eiitortniii TlioimnndR of Vln-
Itorn AVlio ThroiiK the 1'Ince
During- Day and Evening.
For years It has been the custom of the
> lg stores and retail mercantile establish
ments of Omaha to have fall openings nnd
nvlto the public to Inspect the goods
rathorod from the four quarters of
ho earth. These openings have come
o bo regarded as fashionable events
ind have drawn thousands of vis-
tors , not only from this city , but from
he surrounding towns. Many of them have
> een brilliant functions nnd have been
talked about for weeks afterwards. In fact
many of them are said to have been as
attractive as these of the great fashion re
sorts of Boston , New York and other east
ern cities. Each j-ear the Omaha mer
chants have vied with ono another In their
efforts to excell. However , It remains for
r. L. Brandcls & Sons , proprietors of the
Boston Store , to put on the cap sheaf and
carry away the honors.
Without , any great splurge , several days
ago J. L.1 Brandels & Sons 'announced that
yesterday they would have their annual fall
opening and show a superior line of goods.
This Was sufficient to draw a crowd , as
ho people feel that with this store every
iromiso Is a sacred pledge and consequently
yesterday morning \vhen the doors of the
great establishment were thrown open thou
sands were present seeking admission. All
day Ions and -well Into the night the great
mass of humanity kept moving up and down
ho four great floors of the otore , some-
Imes hecomlng so congested that It was
found necessary to call In officers of the
pollco force to relieve the crush.
A Hewer of Ileanty.
To describe the beauties of the exterior
and the Interior of the store would be
next to Impossible. There -were thousands
of rare objects and nil seemed to be- worthy
of attention , eo unlquo were they In their
arrangement and so perfect in keeping with
ho surroundings. On the outside of the
store over the entrances were great palnt-
ngs , representing the agricultural wealth
of the state. The artist who designed the
pieces allowed his fancy to run to broad
acres , -covered with flolda of ripening corn
and garnered 'With small grain. Then there
vero the orchards , the farmhouses and the
owing herds upon the hills that extended
oft Into the background oif the pictures. In
addition to the paintings of farms and farm
scenes , over each picture there was a God
less of Plenty pouring the fruits out from
great horns or cornucopias and mingling
vlth the grains from the harvest fields.
At night these pictures , the good luck
horseshoe over the main entrance and the
entire building , wore illuminated by hun
dreds of colored lights , producing a ncono
nnt win bo long remembered.
While the exterior of the Boston Store
was something that was beautiful and strlk-
ng in the extreme , it was nothing In com-
tarlson with the interior , which was 11-
umlnatcd and decorated from biBomcnt to
roof. Beginning on the basement floor the
artistic hand of the decorator was In evi
dence. From the celling nnJ hung la al )
of tbo corners , alcoves and openings were
; rcat baskets of Arnerlcnn Beauty roses ,
led with bright colored rlbboni , which , in
color were in perfect harmony with the
flowers. On the counters and upon shelves
wcro pots qf exquisite and rare ferns ,
palms , and other plants , giving one the 1m-
iresalon of being in some tropical garden
where some fairy had been at work ,
Beautiful Dcyoiid JJexorlptlon.
Of course , as might have been expected ,
ho main floor was tbo center of Interest
and here the artist performed his beet work ,
"his floor during the day was Illuminated by
00 Japanese lanterns and at night < by 2,000
olored electric lights , arranged In arches
extending from one side to the other of the
; reat room , Thcro were eo many of these
Ights that this portion of the store was
as brilliant as at noontime , yet the rays
were toned down by the color until they
were as eoft as the Interior of the palace
of eomo sultan. Besides the lights there
were hundreds of vases and baskets of
plants , palniii and cut flowers , while from
very available epaco hung a flag , Old
Glory being everywhere in evidence.
One of the features of the opening and
eceptlon was the music. Stationed in the
larlors nnd upon the balcony which over-
oolca the main floor , an orchestra occupied
a position during the entire day and' cven-
ng , rendering popular nlra. This orchestra
vas hid from view by the great bank of
cms , palms and flowers that stood along the
> alcony rail , forming a bower of green , en-
Ivened by the bright colors. On the floors
bove ; the decorations were along tbo same
Ino , but of course not EO profuse. Every
where there were flowers , ribbons , plants
nd lights , and everywhere In the great store
the strains of muclc were audible.
Not only the "proprietors of the store ,
but the clerks as well , did everything in
their power to make the occasion pleasant
for the visitors. All of the people con
nected with the big store were In holiday
attire , wore bouquet * of roses , and de
voted their time to the want * of th custom- i
ers , showing- them the goods and furnish
ing information.
SotiYonlrn for All.
Every person visiting the store waa given
a souvenir In the form of a booklet , entitled
"What She Wore. " This was a pictorial
history of woman's dress from 1409 down to
the present date. The booklet was edited
by E. Felix of Paris , the Illustrations being
by Amtguea of the same city. The publica
tion contains some fifty pages , with all of
the pictures In colors.
Relative to the goods shown In the Boston
store little need be said , as the public Is
already wen acquainted with the excellent
quality of everything that has been offered
In the past , which Is a recognized guaran
tee that the stock now ready for E.ile Is up
to the uaual standard. Of course there are
thousands of articles that cannot be men
tioned , ns the store is filled with staples
and flno wares from the world's markets.
Just at this time , however , J. L. Brandels
& Sons ore making a. specialty of mlllncry
and ladles' cloaks , suits and suitings. In the
millinery department they have the latest
creations from Paris and the other fashion
centers of the world. They do not sell by
sample , but instead , have a full and com
plete stock from which to select.
In the suit department the latest styles
from Worth's and Felix's establishments
are shown. There are gowns which are
correct In style and ranging in price from
a few dollars up to hundreds. This fact
alone makes it apparent that a
woman who is fastidious may go Into the
Boston store and select a gown equal in
quality and style to anything that Is to be
found 'n New Yor'c and Paris.
Nothing in the store Is old. The old stock
has been completely cleaned out nnd every
thing , including boots and shoes and
clothing , is new and up-to-date , so that
one who purchases there may be certain of
1 securing the latest thing out la each and
every particular line.
JOINS THE PAVING TRUST
Hugh , Murphy In Reported to Have
Gone Into the Annlinlt
Combine.
For some years Hugh Murphy has oper
ated an independent asphalt paving plant.
Slnco going Into the business the competi
tion that ho has put up has reduced the
price of asphalt paving from J3.15 to $1.35
per square yard. Now It Is reported that
Murphy has sold his Omaha and Denver
plants to the asphalt combine , formed a
few weeks ago and capitalized at $35,000,000 ,
and has been given the general manager
ship of the trust at a salary of $25,000 per
year.
The headquarters of tbo asphalt paving
trust is located at Buffalo , N. Y. , to phlch
place Mr. Murphy has Journeyed several
times during the past three months. He Is
there now , and private Information received
in the 'city bears out the statement here
tofore made relative to his going into the
combine. By securing the two plants owned
by Murphy , the trust comes Into possessslon
of eighty-seven paving concerns , owning
everything with the exception of the output
of a mine in Kentucky , from which asphal-
tlc rock has been dug.
People who are in a position to Vnow say
with the asphalt paving trust owning nil of
the mines and plants in the country , asphalt
paving will go up to the old prices with the
opening of the coming season , and that the
days of cheap paving with this material
have passed , never to return.
Already Omaha people ore turning their
attention to brick paving , which many con
tend is equal to the asphalt it properly laid.
In support of their contention they point
to Twenty-second street , from Davenport
to California , where the brick is laid in ce
ment. They eay that laying the brick in
this manner gives a smooth wearing surface
and that there Is a deadening of sound , mak
ing the pavement as noiseless as asphalt.
The unusual sight of seeing pavement
plowed up may bo witnessed by visiting
that portion of Capitol avenue between Six
teenth and Seventeenth streets. There the
contractor is at work preparing the street
for repavlng with asphalt. The old pave
ment of cedar blocks waa laid about ten
years ago. H has rotted and worn away
until it is nothing but a mass of wora-
eaten and decayed wood. In order to remove -
move it , it Is plowed up and the dobrls
loaded into wagons and carted away like
any other kind of rubbish. The contract for
repavlng the street was awarded prior to
the formation of the trust , and it was let
at $1.89 per square yard.

The fate of a dog bung in tbo balance

the defense imputed to members of the
Bross family the belief that when a dog

The fact of belief or disbelief in the su

Fred Brosa , living &t 3347 Ames avenue ,
flled a complaint against Rudolph Miller ,
1417 Boyd street , for keeping a vicious
dog. The canlno Is a water cpanlel valued
at $40 , and , as waa developed in the testi
mony , Is as dear to the heart of Miller as
a child. The animal's name la "Hover"
and its having bitten May , the S-yeor-old
daughter of Brora , was the cause of the
controversy regarding Ha death.
The little girl went to Miller's house to
deliver a package of sugar purchased at
her father's store. Hover made a rush
for her as she was about to enter the door
and eunk his teeth In her leg. Miller Is
Bald to have washed the wound with
carbolic acid , bought the chlTd a new pair
of clockings to replace the ones torn by
the dog's teeth and in other ways tried to
alleviate her feelings without success.
Judge Gordon came to the conclusion that
the dog was vicious and ordered It to bo
shot. Miller's attorneys appealed the case
to the district court.
