The attractions at the Exposition Thurs day wore numerous and the attendance was In consequence good. The republican state convention , Bell&tedt'a band , on Indian sham battle ind high rope walking inado up the program for the day. For the past two days there have been moro pcoplo on the grounds from out of town than for eomo tlmo and the concessionaires all eay that 'busltp has been picking up with them qulto rapidly. The Indian &ham battte on the Bast Bluff trust T\aa a lively ono and Interesting In the extreme. The rodmon entered Into the Bplrlt of the thing with grcnt zest anil there worn but few hitches In the program. Ono of the beat things was the fancy rid ing and broncho busting pulled off before the battle. The Mattox brothers had charge of the rough riders and they gave . . an exhibition of good riding. Joe Bowers yshowed how to pick things from the ground 4/ivhlla / his pony -was ot full speed and did " Borne other daring feats on horseback. Kdclaclo Muldlnado , a Mexican cowboy , rode a horse that has hitherto teen con sidered untamable. The beast belongs to Fritz Mueller and was loaned for the oc casion. The rider had sctno difficulty In mounting , 'but ' after that stuck to the sad- djo as though ho .were glued there , not- NtjJ lthstandlng that the pony reared and jumped llko mad. Adolmann'a band made Eomo good music during the program , which added to the Interest. At a meeting of the executive committee Thursday afternoon It was decided to glvo BoTlstetU'a band another call , making the third that has been given that organization. The present engagement expires October 1 , but It has cow 'been decided to ask the band to remain hero for ono week longer at least , and n&k for an option for the last tbroo weeks of the exposition. T. P. Brooke , vrho has been working to get the committed to hlro his band , was told that bo would bavo no show and haa gene back to Chicago. It Is a'-most an assured thing that the 'band will bo engaged until the close , as the people generally are satisfied with the present concerts. It has been de cided to have all the concerts held In the Auditorium hereafter. Adclmann'a band will not bo retained after this week and It IB thought that itho Ord band will ba hired to furnish rnuslo through the day. Saturday has been set apart as a gala day and great preparations are being made to make it ono of the most novel days that has 'ever been celebrated In the west. One of the big features Is to bo a parade startIng - Ing from the exposition grounds at 12 noon to march through the streets of the city. This will bo headed by bands and several military organizations , among them being the Thurston nines , Omaha Guards , High school cadets , Council 'Bluffs High school cadeta and a drum corps. The Modern Woodmen will turn out 250 strong and after this will come the colonial floats and then every concession , on the Midway will have a. representation In the procession. The pageant -will close with the Indian congress i and Mattox Brothers' congrcsa of rough w riders. In the evening a ball of all nations i will bo given. IluimlnB UUCCH Well Attended. Four running races were pulled off Thurs day afternoon In the presence of a very good assemblage. The Orel heat , half a mile , was won by Troxler In 0:50. : May-I-Oo was \ - * second and Margaret Davenport third. f Bill Powell won flrst money In the ono mlle race , Boll Corsica eecond and Miss Chambers third , i Taranctto was left nt the post.

The chairs are very handsome ones and were highly appreciated by the recipients. SoIolittH' Mttlit n SIICCCNK. Director Bellstoflt Inaugurated soloists' night Thursday night and the new venture was received with high favor nnd was a decided success. The program hod been ar ranged to glvo the best soloists ot the band , opportunity to ho heard In good numbers nnd they were all received with most flat tering salvos of applause and encores were tbo rule , Mr. Bellstedt waa icard to fine advantage In a Russian nlr , with variations , and was given a most hearty recall. "My Old Kentucky Homo , " played by a quartet of horns , was a novel feature , and one that received ns much close attention as any thing on the musical menu for the evening. The soloist tournament was a humorous contest between the different Instruments which was very laughable. A little musical farce , nrranged by Mr. Bellstedt. and called "Whero Did You Clot that Hat , " called out roars of laughter from the largo crowd. Today' * Mnnlenl Program. 3:30 : p. m.

FUR ROBBERS BROUGHT BACK Cnptnln Donahue nnil Detective Dnitii Ilctnrii from .Inpllii vrlth Men Who Itobbed Shukcrt'n Store. Captain Donahue and Detective Dunn re turned on the 1 o'clock train from Joplln , Mo. , bringing with them the two men who looted the vault of Shukcrt's fur store the night of September 13 and stole garments valued nt 110,000. The prisoners wore chained together , having handcuffs on their wrists and shackles on their anklce. At the police station ono of the pair gave his name correctly , Charles Dennis. Ho said ho was a salesman by occupation , and his homo was Now York. The other man , whd Is known to ths polleo as Mich Lavcry , said his name -was Thomas Molllhao. His occupation was cigar rolling , ho said. Both were searched , the handcuffs and shackles wcro removed , and a eoparato cell was fur nished for each. Detective Dunn said they were delayed n day after the arrival ot the requisition papcra by the reluctance ot the Joplln au thorities to glvo up the prisoners. City Marshal John McMonamy acted fairly In the matter , the detective said , but the other officers at flrst refused absolutely to deliver Dennis and Lavcry unless 20 per cent of the promised reward wns paid down. When Chlet White's guaranty that the reward will bo paid on the recovery ot the stolen furs reached Joplln by mall the au thorities consented to turn over the men. Prince and Lavery had many friends among the gambling fraternity of Joplln , who tried every way possible to have the two men kept thero. Captain Donahue was appre hensive that an attempt would bo made by these gamblers to effect their release while they were being taken from the Jail to the train , but besides a big crowd and consider able excitement there was no other demon stration. The party started for this city Wednes day morning. At night the burglars wore loft In the Kansas city Jail , the officers hav ing stopped at the Ashland house. Shukort was at the depot upon the arrival of the train In Omaha to Identify Dennis and Lavery as the men ho eaw in his store a day or two before the robbery. He Is confident they are the persons who stole the furs and he expressed his satisfaction at the success of the police In capturing them. Both Dennis and Lavcry are hardened criminals and look the part. Dennis has an appearance of cunning. His eyes are shifty and ho seldom looks at an object higher than a man's waist. Lavery is nearly 60 years ot age. Ho Is bold In manner and chows a piece of gum as Indifferently as If he never had a care In the world. The Joplln police claim the men robbed a safe In Nora Horn's store In that town shortly before the burglary of Shukert's store. FATHER DEFENDS HIS SON Street Cnr Conductor Kntcrn Police Court nnil Appears in an Entirely \OT\T \ Role. James Hyland , er. , conductor , forsook the rear platform of a street car Wednesday afternoon long enough to don civilian dress and appear before the judicial bench at the police court to defend his 12-year-old son , James , jr. , arraigned on the charge ot disturbing the peace by fighting. As an orator Hyland was an experiment , but ho managed to furnish the loungers several minutes of genutco amusement , and his jug gling of polysyllabic verbiage reminded the legal lights of the days when they studied Talleyrand. Hyland's son was arrested for fighting with a lad considerably smaller than him self. They came to blows over a question of the right to undersell one another In disposing ot' newspapers , both being news boys. The big boy wished to sell his papers for 2 cents , the younger for 1 cent. They started In to settle the matter according to brawn and muscle when Officer Cun ningham happened along and placed them both under arrest. As the Hyland hey Is too young to be legally prosecuted for any offense nt all , Judge Gordon would have discharged him without hearing arguments , but Hyland hadn't deserted the bellcordwithout a motive. He had a grievance , and the judge allowed him to air It Hyland pulled down his vest , looked at the judge as If about to ask a question he knew couldn't be answered by any human being , then de manded to know why his son had been arrested. The judge passed. Hyland then wont on to tell why himself. "An Innocent llttlo boy was doing nothing moro than punching another Innocent little boy while rolling him In the gutter. " The climax of Hyland's oratorical effort was reached when ho described the peoploj coming In crowds to see the arrest made. "They came from the valleys and the hill tops , " he thundered , rising on his toes to Impersonate hill tops , "and that craven coward of a copper cowed llko a felon In the shadow of a patrol box that the electric light might not shlno on nis gunty lace. At this point the judge showed filgns of lassitude , and drawing out his watch , re minded Hyland that It was growing dark. The street car conductor then brought his oration to a close with the threat to hound Cunningham till his dying day. The judge languidly announced "the case Is dismissed , " and Hyland disappeared down the stairs , leading his eon by the hand. All Ahoaril for llmitlnga. Everything now Indicates that the excur sion to thp Hastings street fair next Satur day la going to bo a great euccess. Com mittees from both the Commercial club and the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben are putting In mutin of their time canvassing the city and at noon they reported the sale of COO tickets for the round trip. Members of these com mittees feel confident that the number will bo pushed up close to 1,000 , with a possibility that this mark will bo passed. In addition to the excursionists who go to Hastings two 'bands will BO nlong. Theae or ganizations will furnish music on the train and also in the street parade that will take place Immediately after the Omaha train reaches'Its destination. The train Is expected to return to Omaha at 12:30 : , but If U does not the street car company hoa promised to have cars watt at the Webster street station until It docs come in , DO matter what time. Tickets will bo on ealo at the Commercial club rooms until 6 o'clock this evening and all who go should provide themselves with tickets 'before ' that time. Trouble Over a Iloir. Sam Kardoskl , a saloonkeeper at Ninth and Capitol avenue , is charged by F. U Campbell with the theft of a fox terrier worth $50. When Campbell learned Uiat Kardoekl tad the dog he went to aim and demanded Wa property , but was told that he would have lo prove bis ownership , He got a certification from the city clerk that he had ibought a tag of a certain number for the dog. When be returned to the sa loonkeeper ho was bhown the collar and tag and -was told that they were all that was left of the dog. I.uclt of Evidence. The case against Ed Dunn , a colored boy charged with the theft of a pair ot diamond earrings from Henrietta Ne-edlngham , 2000 Davenport street , -was dlmalseed Wednes day atternori In police court becauM of lack of evidence. i 9 99 * ; ; SOUTH OMAHA NEWS , j jAn I AAO < iO'fcfl * ; - An adjourned meeting of the city council waa held Thursday night at which consid erable routine buelncea WAS transacted and several ordinances pertaining to the renewal ot maturing bonds wcro pcujoed. Ono of the features ot the meeting waa the turning down of the ordinance providing for the removal from office of elective officers. This Is the ordinance which wns Introduced last month when six members of the council signed a resolution requesting Mayor Knsor to step down nnd out. The mayor refused to ac cede to the demands for his resignation nnd the ordinance was Introduced preparatory to the filing of charges. The ordinance coma up on third reading and before directing the clerk to call the roll the mayor took occasion to remark that thp document was Illegal from the fact that It conflicted with ordinance No. 42 , which Is still in force. Ordinance No. 42 was not re pealed by the "Investigating" ordinance , hence the mayor held .that . It was illegal. No ono disputed the mayor's statement , but In order to keep the thing from dying right there Johnston moved that the ordinance bo referred back to the Judiciary commlttco for repairs. The motion went to a vote and only three members supported it , they be ing FlUe , Johnston and Kelly , the balance , barring Dennettwho was absent , voting lu the negative. Johnston made n strong talk for the ordinance- , but the mayor Insisted that a vote on the passage ot the law betaken taken , and ho had his way. A roll call showed the same division ns Before nnd the ordinance waa declared lost. This probably ends the investigating period of the counull , for a "lima " nt least. An ordinance waa Introduced and read the flrst Urao granting to the Ilapld Transit Railroad company the right < to construct and maintain railroad tracks on and along cer tain streets , avenues , alloys , etc. , In South Omaha. The streets desired are named In the ordinance and It is stipulated that no inoro than 5 cents shall bo charged for faro to any point in the city. Continuing , the ordinance provides that at least" two miles of track shall bo laid and In operation at the end of two years from the Umo the ordinance becomes a law. Trains of tWs company maybe bo operated by electricity , compressed air , Btoam or any other means of rapid propulsion. Funding bonds to the amount of $22,300 will bo Issued by the city to redeem outstand ing bonds and coupons duo October 1. A grading district on Twenty-second street , from 0 to Q , was established and the Issuing ot bonds In the sum of $3,250 to pay for the grading was authorized. The next regular meeting of the council will bo on Monday evening , October 2. Stock YardB StntUtlcH. Statistics Issued toy the Cincinnati Price Current show that South Omaha continues to make a gain. in. the packing of hogs as compared with lost year. Slnco January 1 up to the present tlmo 1,230,000 hogs have been packed at this point , as compared with 980,000 for the same period of tlmo In 1898. This is an Increase of 250,000 hogs. Rc- colpta at hoga have been much larger this year than ever before , end South Omaha will go out of the year -with an Immense gala to Its credit. From January 1 to September 20 , Inclusive , 1,594,909 hogs have ibeen marketed here , as against 1,414,157 hogs during the corresponding tlmo last year. This is an increase of 180,752 hogs. From reports received hero hogs are still plentiful in the country tributary to this market and the winter packing season , which opens on 'November 1 , will find plenty of high-grade hogs yet to be marketed Cattle receipts continue to climb every day , the week closing tomorrow being re markable for the heavy receipts. Since the flrst of the and - year including- yester day 527,980 head ot cottl'B have been sold at this market , as compared with 633,038 for the same time last year. This Is a de crease of only 5,078 head , and considering the shortage of cattle , Is really Insignifi cant. Without doubt this decrease will be wiped out within the next ten days , as heavy shipments from tbo ranges will continue until the end ot the month. Sheep receipts hava fallen off some , but thla decrease will also to wiped out before the end at the year. Up to the present time 780,231 sheep have been marketed here , as compared with 812,600 a year ago. A docrcaso of 26,369 head is shown , but late shipments will doubtless bo heavy enough to change the decrease Into an Increase. The demand for feeder cattle continues and from the shipper's standpoint this Is the beat market in the country for the sale of good feeder stock. Buyersr from other markets are here most all the tlmo pur chasing feeders , and this adds considerably to the demand and tends to stiffen the prices. All the packing houses are working n full 'force of men In order to slaughter the stock bought , here dally and this condi tion of affairs will no doubt continue for some time to come. Snloonkceprr I'etcrHoii An official of the Schlltz Brewing com pany reported , to Chlof of Police Carroll that Nels Peterucn was missing along with about $300 of 'the ' 'browory's ' money. Petersen - sen has been operating a saloon for the brewery on Railroad avenue and for the last few days has been drinking a good deal. Money was drawn ifrom the bank Wednes day for the purpose of cashing packing house checks and this sum Peteraen failed to return or make any accounting of. Some of the police are ( Inclined to think that Petersen - tersen is tucked away in eomo quiet place , sleeping off the effects of liquor Imbibed and rather discredit the theory that ho has clopoi ) with the brewing company's funds. CnnilllHh IminrNt Todny. Nothing new developed In the Henry Candllsh case. Coroner Swanaon will hold an inquest at 10 o'clock today , bat it Is not thought .that there will bo any devel opments of note. The bank at Pocatello , Idaho , Is supposed to bo trying to locate some of the dead man's friends , but up to last night Undertaker Brewer had not re ceived nny additional information from the bank. The lbody has been embalmed , so that If friends desire it torwardod to Idaho for burial itflils can be done without delay. By those who know Candllsh the shooting Is considered the result of over-indulgence in drink. lliiiiiinoiidn and Armuurii I'lny Sundny. On Sunday afternoon the Hammonds and the Armour Stars -will play . game of base ball at the Vinton Street park for the cham pionship and $100. Both teams are in good shape and a 'lively ' Bame Is anticipated. Manager Ike Young of tlho Hammond team appears confident that his men will bo able to win the igame. It is expected that this will be the last , game of any note between these teams tils season and the public may expect to uee pome first-clats ball playing. MiiKlu City noTltlp.

CRITICISM OF MR , DAWES Former Tenchor In the IiiMlttitc for ( he Deaf Shown Up tin1'rrn - cut Superintendent , To the 1'dltor of The Bee : 1 notice In the Sunday Morning lice the resolution passed by the fusion convention denouncing the Hoard of Trustees and the superintendent , H. E. D.uve ! , and his management of the Institution for the deaf aud dumb. I have been In a position to know mid heartily In dorse the denouncement and trust the gov ernor will meet the demands of the delega tion. In my opinion and I nm not alone In li the superintendent of an Institution of that kind should bo one who has ability , be a disciplinarian and , above all , know now to converse with the deaf In their sign lan guage. The superintendent , If. E. Dawcs , lias none of these quallllcatlons. Ho Is a man who hns ( had no previous experience In the management of nn Institute , and his present management Is an example of his ability. A man who accepts such a position and can do no better than he has done cer tainly deserves the same credit plven to Brutus ! "Ho Is an honorable man/ ' I have many tlmea seen the older pupil1 ? called Into the superintendent's olllce for discipline and asked to sit down and write an explanation of his conduct ( the super intendent being unable to converse In the Bltrn language ) , and receive only a written scolding as punishment. If the offense was repeated the same punishment was given , no matter how grave the offense. Will any pupil repeat an offense when he receives so severe (7) ( ) a punishment ? When you were a child in school would you have re peated nn offense after such a punishment ? There are Porno children who would not , but n vast majority will , and the deaf uro not unllko you or me. Ask the general public to visit the school ana note the difference In the superintend ent s signing and the hearing teachers who nave been there the snmo length ot tlmo he has , and could not when they went there spell nor sign moro than he could. Watch the pupilg faces and eeo which they ap prehend the sooner. The last Sunday In ohapel previous to the closing of school In June he attempted to plvo Instructions In signs to the pupils regarding railroad tick ets. Ho had Intended to explain that the boys and girls would receive their railroad tickets on the following day from Mr. pcavcr , who would buy them in the mornIng - Ing , but Instead ot that told them that the boys and aunts would get gravy from Mr. ijeavcr Mr. Dcaver money on the morrow , repeating several times the words boys , aunts , gravy , Mr. Deaver , money , tomor row , using- only the signs for those words to express his thoughts , with Intermissions between each word and filling the Intermis sions by folding his hands. The sign for railroad ticket and gravy are somewhat similar , but for those who un- ypstand the sign language the signs are at dissimilar as the words. The older pupils clearly understood his meaning , but the younger ones received the Idea that Mr. peaver would give them gravy for lunch to put In their pockets. It was so ridicu lous that ho was made the lausrhlngr stock of the whole school. The words buy and money are also similar , but the interchange of those signs was not so ridiculous. His theory Is that the elfin language should not be used when talking to the pupils of either the elgn or oral depart ments. Had he "practiced what he preached" rldlculo would not have been brought upon his head , but 1 have seen hU spelling as clearly understood by the older pupils as his signs by the younger pupils. 1 taught the second grade oral from Sep- tomberi 1893 , to the close of school in June , 1839 , and had been Riven to understand that I would be one of the teachers for the en suing year. When , at the close of the year , I asked definitely , ho said he had someone else for my place. I asked what disposition no would make of me. Ho said that would leave me out. When asked If my services were unsatisfactory , he replied : "Entirely satisfactory , " and repeated several times that he could find no fault with my work. 1 insisted on a moro satisfactory reason for my dismissal , and he only said : "Just be cause I want someone else In your place. " When I Impressed him with my several years' experience with the deaf he said : "That is Juat it ; you sign too well. " What better quallflcatlon Is necessary 1 It is true. I was in the oral department , but Is it a mistake to sign an explanation to chil dren , which pupils of the second grade can not understand In either spelled or written words ? One having had long experience with the deaf will say no. 1 was not alone in that. All of the oral teachers who had any knowledge of signs did so. Should I in particular receive censure for that ? You will again say no. Mr. Dawes will probably say that I am "sore" at having been dismissed. All that I nm sorry about Is that I ever taught there under his administration. But I cannot be blamed for that , as I had a very short ac quaintance with Mr. Dawes previous to my engagement as teacher. Besides , the stew ardship was held by a capable man , Mr. Deaver , and whtever credit Is due the school can bo traced to his efforts. I have been told that the school Is now all discord , many of the employes and some of the teachers hav ing resigned , giving as their reasons for re signing that they would not receive any credit for their work from such Incompetent management. I understand that my place Is to bo given to a person without previous experience with the deaf and ono who can not converse In the sign language. Does the school need for Instructors those who cannot spell or sign ? Does it need those who can spell , but cannot tpell correctly ? No. No.Tho The delegates of the fusion convention were right In denouncing the ofllcers and management. I have not written this to bring my name Into publicity , but to ex press my sentiments regarding the Institu tion and to express my thanks to the dele gates of the fusion convention for their interest In the welfare of the deaf , nnd trust they will not lessen their Interest until their demands on the governor have been granted , and I trust the public will endorse nnd support so worthy a cause. Respectfully , MHS. V. D , LILLY. I'rotcNt AKnliixt Hour OMAHA , Sept. 20. To the Editor of The Bee : Last year many of our citizens were tilled with indignation and disgust to llnd that the Indians at the exposition were per mitted nnd encouraged to carry out ono of their barbarous customs that of "eatlnjj dog. " Today there wns a repetition of the atrocity , Some may say : "Why Is It any more bar barous than to kill nnd eat any other ani mal ? " Such people do not know what it Is to care for "map's best friend" the faithful UOB. Everybody or at leant almost every body knows that an Intelligent doe is al most human In Its steadfast affection and faithfulness , DOBS know far more than we Klve them credit for , for they can experience deep emotions of Joy and grief , and can also suffer nnd enjoy In anticipation. Accord ingly what must b the needless sufferings of those poor little victims 1 saw nt the ex position yesterday awaiting their doom ? It could bo seen nt a Klunce that one In par ticular a pretty little black spaniel so friendly and well kept was quite uwaro of his wretched fate. It was pitiful to see his efforts to enlist the sympathies of the on lookers In hla behalf. He must have been someone's pet ; possibly his tag and collar had been stolen fa common occurrence with such friendly little fellows ) and he had had the , misfortune to fall Into the clutches of the dog catchers. Let us hope they gave him his days of grace. I fear otherwise , ns it seems BO Incredible that the owner would not have made , an effort to redeem him , However that may be. Is It lesal or hu mane to < illow these dogs to be disposed of In any other than the regulation manner ? Is It necessary for them to undergo needless suffering of anticipation nnd fear among these savages ? Is it not enough that these Indians carry out their revolting practices when at home , where the poor unfortunate dogs belonging to them are undoubtedly better off out of the world than In It ? What an object lesson In humanity to the school children of the city Is such a dog feastl Furthermore , It Is high tlmo that the citi zens of Omaha declare themselves In favor of enlightened nnd humane regulations con cerning this matter of dog catching , Wo ought to emulate the example set by east ern cities notably Greater New York- whore the methods employed approach u line art. It Is a olot on our city that BO few people tnko even a casual Interest In the efforts of the Humane society. With a few notable exceptions nobody seems to care .xbout the welfare of any of our dumb creatures. EMMA O , SCHWARTZ.
