Odd Fellows' day and the annual celebra tion and dog least given toy the Indians yesterday made up ono of the most Interest ing programs of the season , and It was a noticeable fact that there were more ntrangera on the grounds , In proportion to the crowd , than nny day elnco the opening. That they were out for a good tlmo goes without Baying. Two of the shows especially had about nil tlioy could nttend to , nnd as a result the Deep Sea Divers nnd the Scenlo railway are corresponding Qmppy. Captain. Louis Sorcho of the Deep Boa Divers has been adding greatly to his already good reputation ns an expert , the past rwook breaking the world's record for endurance by staying under water several hours longer than nny diver known ; by his thorough knowledge ot the business and his ability as a lecturer ho succeeds in giving one of the best features from an educational standpoint to bo eccn on the Midway. Manager McVay of the Scenic railway wtifl on hand attending to the crowds and seemed to enjoy the sight of every ono hav ing n good tlmo.

LITIGATION ON THE MIDWAY Vienna Itcntnnriint Deprived of It * Tauten nnd Chnlrn liy Proceg * of Scarcely a day posses but what some suit against a Midway concessionaire Is filed In ono of the courts. On Monday a constable went out with two vans to get the furniture ot the Vienna restaurant , which was fur nished by the People's store under a con tract requiring a weekly payment. The payments having lapsed the People's etoro got out. a writ of replevin. The constable took his wagons out and eet his men to work loading up the goods. The proprietors of the place , who ihavo been defendants In two other suits , made no objection , but the ex position offlcials sent a hasty summons to the constable to como over to tbo Service building. There they Informed htm that he would never get out of the gate with 'h's ' goods for the reason 'that ' the exposition had a claim on them for unpaid percentages. By way ot reply the constable said ho wasn't worrying at all about that , and that his hardest job would bo taking the legs off the tables. The officials swore by everything they could think of that ho would not take the goods away , but the constable simply strolled out the door and started his vans for the gato. The gateman refused to open the gate , BO the constable borrowed a hatchet and started for the wldo wooden portals with a vigorous step. But before ho reached thorn a mes senger from headquarters carao on the run with permission for the constable to take his wagons out. The same constable Is trying to servo a summons in n case in which the managers of the Mystic l.Mazo are eued for the board and room rent of an employe , lost his way among the mirrors nnd wandered about for almost nn hour before ho found himself , JAG TERMINATES IN DEATH "P < * IT ICB" IlnrrliiKtnii Dion lit Police Station from RfTectn of Wcclt'ii Nl.rc-c Without Shelter.

Harrington was 111 nnd too weak to make use of his artificial limb to get to the po- llco station for aid. The cause of his ill ness was drink. Men connected with the labor olllco say the tramp saved up the nick els lia begged from people on tlio street un til ho had $17 , Then ho found a shed not In use and seldom visited , laid In a good supply ot liquor and proceeded to enjoy a solitary Jag. Laborers hanging around the olllco looking for work discovered Harring ton , but ho bribed them Into not "glvlnsr him awny" by furnishing them with an oc casional drink. The men say Harrington did not luave the shed for six da > n and they re gard his Jag as a hugo Joke. When the supply of corn Juice ran out the tramp was taken sick and seized with con vulsions. Ho was taken to the police Na tion , where ho died at 2 o'clock. The body was removed to the morgue. AMUSEMENTS. c. . . Miss Nello Paris made her professional de but Into the theatrical world at the Crelgh- ton-Orpheum Wednesday night before ona of the largest audiences ot the season , Tbo young woman met with a decidedly enthusi astic reception when she came on the stage , which proved to bo well merited before she had finished her specialty , consisting of the rendition of throe very pretty vocal selec tions , Including Lillian Russell's favorite , "I Love You Truly , " "Tell Mo That You IXJVD Me Like You Used to Do" and "I Love and the World U. Mine. " All were rendered in n praiseworthy manner. Miss Paris possesses a beautiful soprano voice , sweet , sympathetic and showing the result of care ful cultivation. Aside from a lack of staga presence , which can come only with more extended - tended experience , Miss Parte' work was easily comparable to that of many profes sionals who have appeared at this theater. She is a protege of Mr. Roscnthal'e , who an nounces that the first open date ho has she will be put on for a week's engagement. The success of her debut U gratifying to her Omaha friends. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. The dead body ot Henry Candllsh , n stock man ot Soda Springs , Idaho , was found near the brick yard nt Thirtieth nnd A streets about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon nnd ns nn empty revolver lay nt the man's feet It Is supposed ho committed suicide. Undertaker Ilrewer removed the remains to the morgue , where nn Inspection of the clothing worn by the dead man was made. Tapers In the pockets showed the sale at the yards on September 13 of several cars ot cattle. A shipper's return pn ? was nlso found. Oeorgo Uurko & Co. had sold the cattle for Candtlsh nnd Mr. Uurko was notified of the death of his customer. It was learned upon Investi gation that Candllsh bad been on a spree for several days nnd had spent considerable money. The bulk of the proceeds from the sale ot cattle , which amounted to { 2,100 , had been sent by Durko & Co. to the First Na tional bank ot Pocatello , Idaho , but It Is thought that Candltsh spent nt least $200 since he nrrlved In the city. Monday Mr. Durko declined to cash any more ot Cnnd- llsh's checks nnd urged upon him the neces sity of sobering up and starting home. This Candllsh promised to do nnd In nntlcl- patton of his trip purchased qulto n bill of goods from one of the local merchants. Fur ther Investigation on the part of the core ner's assistants brught to light the fact that Candllsh hnd become Infatuated with a woman employed nt ono of the music halls nnd ho spent considerable time In her com pany. Undertaker Brewer sent a telegram yesterday afternoon to the bank at Pocatello announcing the death of Candllsh nnd last night a reply was received to the effect that the bank would make an effort to notify friends of the deceased. This Is considered n difficult matter , as they reside a long ways from the rnllrond. An Inquest will bo held by Coroner Swnnson today. Candllsh was about 30 years of age nnd appeared atout nnd healthy. The weapon which was used Is n cheap gun of small calibre. The bul let entered the head near the right temple. At the time of his death Caudllsh had over $11 In uls possession. Cnlvcrt on O Street Needed. It Is thought that by the building of a culvent under O atrcet between Fifteenth and Seventeenth the demand ( for nn exten- elon ot the N street sewer from Nineteenth street to the river iw4H not be pressed by residents of the eastern portion of the city. A thorough examination of the sewer and surroundings was made a few days ngo by several of 'fho ' city officials and It Is stated that the "open " eewcr cast of Nineteenth street la not causing any annoyance. Sev eral springs feed , the small stream Jnto which tiho N etrcet sewer empties and this stream is considered sufficiently largo to carry off a great deal more sewage than It now does. It appears also , on Investigation , that the complaints made about this open sewer came mostly from property owners who desire that O street bo graded. This grading can not bo done until the culvert mentioned Is built. The city engineer estimates that In order to ( bo of any service this culvert will have to too 400 ifeet In length and the esti mated cc t Is $1,600. A report from the committee on streets and alloys , recom mending that the culvert 'be ' built has been adopted by the council , but whore the money is to oomo from is the next tblng to be con sidered. Bonds to cover the cost could bo voted1 , or the amount might bo token from the special license tax fund or the general fund. It Is stated that there is no legal way In which the city can appropriate this money , but In view of < ho necessity for opening uj > ttils street it Is not thought that there will bo any objection if the cost is paid out of the city funds. It has been sug gested that the property owners Include the cost of the culvert in the bonds to bo Issued for the grading , but If this is done It Is feared that the bonds -will not pass muster -with the municipal { bond attorneys. Those Interested Jn this improvement pro pose doing everything possible to have the city go ahead < wlth this work and It Is .thought that some way con be provided for the payment. For a Sldeirnllc Inspector. Councilman Kelly's suggestion that a man bo employed for n month or eo to in spect all the sidewalks In the city Is con sidered a good ono and It Is asserted that If the pfan Is carried out and repairs made according to the report of the Inspector the number of accidents will bo greatly lessened. Defective sidewalks have cost the city thousands of dollars within the last few years and now the council seems to real ize that something must be done to prevent - vent the nilng of personal damage claims arising from dilapidated sidewalks. In case nn inspector Is appointed It will bo his duty to Inspect every pleco of sidewalk In the city and note where repairs arc needed. Printed notices will 'be ' sent to property owners nnd If the repairs are not made in side of ten days the work will bo done by the city and the ccst assessed against the property. Supreme Court Hodden Contempt Cane It Is reported hero that the supreme court has affirmed the decision of the district court wherein Mayor Ensor and Police Officer Hydock were fined $200 each for violating lating a restraining order Issued by Judge Fawcott last spring. At this tlmo Ed Johnston secured an order from the court restraining the mayor nnd police from In terfering with the method of registration In vogue nt the voting precincts In the Fourth -ward. After securing this order Johnston asserts that ho was ejected from the booth nnd placed under arrest by offi cer Hydock. When Judge Fawcett had fined the mayor and policeman nn appeal to the superior court ivns taken , but now the flno must bo paid. oOller .SIllllllllMltN. The recent marked advance In the prlco of fat cattle and hogs has greatly stimulated feeding and farmers nro now buying every thing they can put their hand ? on and shipping Into the Interior where feeding has already commenced. The late summer nnd early fall feeding of live stock la now the largest over known nt this tlmo of the year. Especially Is this true in the lower Mis souri valley , where a short tlmo ngo feeders would not look at new corn at 15 cents a bushel. Big shipments of feeders to Ne braska , Iowa nnd Missouri points are bolng mudo dally from this market and the de mand continues with .prices high for good stuff. MurrlFil ( lt St. Mnrtln'N Cliuroli.
