The Douglas County Agricultural society
meets nt 2 p. in , today at the Board of
Trade rooms to check over the business of
last year and elect officers for the coming
year. It Is Intimated that there Is a slate
already fixed up. *
In the absence of nny county fair during
the year Just closing the society maintained
nn exhibit In the Agriculture building nt
the exposition This exhibit cost in the
neighborhood of $5,000 $ and the fact has
occaslbncd some friction over the society's
finances. Secretary Hervey's report will
show that Oscar J. Plcknrd drew the neat
sum of $250 salary as president , besides
Borne $29.2f > additional. The salary of Sec-
lclary Honey was already $150 $ , but the
board of directors raised It $200 , making It
1330. Charles Gran of Bcnnlngton was made
superintendent of the exhibit , with n salary
of $75 n month , although It took up only
n portion ot his time , and he also drew his
per diem nnd mileage ns a member of the
board of directors. Herman Rocsslg was
madn assistant superintendent at the s.imo
salary and llkowlso drew per diem and mlle-
ngn a n director.
For the reputed reproduction ot the battle
ship Malno as a part of the exhibit the
hoard paid E 0. Solomon $125 for designing
It and then put something llko $810 Into
Its construction ,
H C. Erfilng was paid something neir
$200 for maintaining the floral exhibit , and
Mrs Prlcss , an attendant at the exhibit ,
Jilred for ? 40 n month nnd willing to work
for thnt , was agreeably surprised one day
to have the board voluntarily raise her sal
ary to $50 a month A. C. Davidson waste
t to put In a honey exhibit for $40 for the full
term and was paid $15 for superintending
It for ono week. Later ho concluded ho
would prefer to accept premiums for the
exhibit and managed to pull out $59 25 In-
htcad of $40.
The same liberality seems to have been
manifested by the board In other directions
Ono printing establishment was paid nbout
$120 for printing. At the last meeting of
the board Treasurer Mclntosh took occa
sion to criticise many expenditures .is profil-
O Eito nnd ho referred particularly to the
bittlcship as a swindle. That is said to bo
responsible for the further fact that at to
morrow's meeting the men who have been
expending ths county fair funds propose to
make Charles Orau president , Oscar J.
Plckard secretary and 13. O. Solomon treas
urer.
urer.Thn
Thn society has some $1,730 on hand , which
has escaped the exposition era , and If some
proposition for a county fair next year Is
Invented It will draw about $3,000 from
the next lovy. This will afford nearly $5,000 ,
Rhlch the new board will take It on Itself
to expend.
RELATING TO POSTAGE DUE

OMAHA , Nov. 30. To the Editor of The
I3ee. I notice In Thursday's Dee an Item
utatlng-ther "vveYe''manrSunday papers lying :
nt the postodlco on account ot insufficient
postage.
Now hero Is what happened last week :
A woman having mailed a Sunday Illus
trated lice , did not put on the required
postage , and having been apprised of the
fact , went to the Omaha postofllce to pay
the same. She was sent to the superintend
ent of malls , and in a very gruff and sar
castic tone was told that , "We don't have ,
llmo to look out for papers that are mailed j
nlthout sufficient postnjre : they arc simply' j
thrown'in ' the vvasto basket. "
Now this particular paper was properly
iddressed , also had the return card of the
lender printed on same. Yet neither ad-
SresBoo nor sender was notified of the In-
imfllclent postage , nor could the same be paid
by calling at the office , as the papere are
consigned to the "waste basket1'
li > this the way Undo Sam runs his malls ?
A READER.
AVhon shown the foregoing letter , City Su
perintendent ot Malls Cramer said "I have
no recollection ot having been gruff or sar
castic to 'Reader , ' not do I remember of hav
ing used the language attributed to me It
Is my custom to bo pleasant to all , but at
times when there are hundreds of complaints
of oneKind , or another filed with me , possi
bly I may seem short in some of my
answers. "
> - Regarding the controversy over the papers ,
Mr. Cramer na0 that nil papcia that bear
returnjcards nro returned In the event that
the postage IH not paid in full. If there urn
no return cards papers are thrown Into the
"waste , " where they nro kept for a few days
and then sorted over to see If they contain
nnythlpg valuable. This Is following out the
Instructions from the prbtnl department.

the time when the baby is expected , And
if every luihlnnil would feel it his bounded
duty to sec that all possible meant , are
adopted to carry his wife safely through
this critical time , he will help to bequeath
to his oflsprinu that health and natural

The superintendent states that if ft clerk
looked through the "waste" every time n
complaint Is filed It would require the
services of one person all the time , and as
there nro no provlfllonn for hiring such n per
son nnd the office Is short of help. It Is 1m-
posslblo to do no.
Regarding newspaper postage , It Is 1 cent
for every four ounces or fractional part
thereof and 1 cent additional on every frac
tion over one nnd up to two ounces. As The
Sunday Dee weighs moro thin one ounce , the
pootago Is always more than 1 cent ,

cold toward pneumonia , Can you afford to
neglect your cold when so reliable a remedy

Harry Trumblc , the voting bank clerk who
shot and killed William Cummlngs , a high
wayman , vvaa released on ball yesterday
afternoon by Police Judge Dabcock , Hond
was fixed at $5,000 and It was signed by
A \V Trumble , vlco president of the Pack
ers' National bank , nnd Colonel C. M. Hunt ,
n local capitalist. Immediately after his ro-
lenso from custody young Trumblo resumed
Ms duties at the bank.
It vvni the Intention ot Coroner S\van-
son to hold an Inquest yesterday afternoon
and wltnesscu were notified to appear at '
- o'clock , but owing to the objections of the !
county attorney It wns agreed to postpone ,
the inquest until today. County Attorney
Shields gave the case his personal attention
nnd It was at his request thnt the holding
ol an Inquest was postponed after all ar
rangements had been made.
The county attorney holds that the pres
ence of the man who was with Cummings
In n necessity and It was for the purpose
ot alloutnc the nollco to continue their
search that the Inquest was delayed. Shields
has an Idea that Matt Oarner , the well
known crook , wns the accomplice of Cum
mlngs , but the local police scout this Idea , as
Garner Is not In the habit ot turning tricks
of this kind , his specialty being burglary.
Inquiry at Garner's haunts shows that he
was not in the city at the tlmo ot the holdup.
Captain Allle and Ofilccr Montague have a
clew which they are following up and hope
to laud their man within the next twelve
hours.
At the suggestion of the county attorney
and with the consent ot the county coroner
ner n post-mortem examination of the body
ot Cumimlngs was made last evening. Two
gunshot wounds were found. Ono was on the
top of the left shoulder and the other pierced
tlm heart.
Trumble admits having fired twlco and It
IB presumed that the first shot grazed tbo
shoulder , whllo tlio other entered a vital
part. According to Trumblo's statement ,
mndo in The Bco of yesterday , Cummlngs
did not releasa his hold until after the
second shot.
It is expected that relatives of Cummlngs
will arrive from Chicago today , ns Under
taker Brewer has advices to this effect.
The telegram received by Brewer Is signed
Thomas Cummings. Captain Allie , who is
well acquainted In Chicago , says that Cirai-
mlngs is a mounted policeman doing duty
In South Park. Several people claim to rec-
ognlzo Cummlngs and the general Informa
tion Is that he has been associating with
criminals and bums since his arrival in the
city n few days ago
Probably a thousand people visited
Brcwer'fl morgue yesterday to view the re
mains of the dead highwayman. Generally
speaking , the sentiment was expressed that
Trumblo did Just right. That public senti
ment is with Trumblo was shown jestcrday
by the offer of the commission men at the
Llvo Stock exchange to raise $1,000 if nec
essary for attorney's feen to defend the prls-
ono. ' . There Is no necessity for this , as
Prank Morlarty , cashier of the bank where
Trumblo Is employed , secured the services
of Attorneys Searles & Wells early In the
day and the young man's Interests will bo
cartlully looked after.
lii-r Ili t Stock Iteccliitn ,
November llvo stock receipts amounted
to 373,375 head , divided ns follows : Cattle ,
90,086 head ; hcgs , 203,249 head , sheep , 74,410
head. This Is nn increase over the eleven
months of last year of 15,013 head of cattle ,
20,830 head of hogs and a decrease of 4,458
sheep , The decrease in the receipts of
sheep Is caused by the high prices sheep are
being held at by southem feeders and also
by the fact that the abundance of game at
this Ecaxon of the year is causing a fallIng -
Ing off In the demand for mutton.

BETTER STREET CAR SERVICE
South Bide Improvement Olnb Agitates the
Question Once More.
PARTIAL PROMISE MADE BY COMPANY
Committee li Appointed to Tnkc
Mcnuttrcs ( o llcnil Oft OiuionHloit
in the rnjmcnt of < hc Ilonlc-
nril Tax.
About fifteen prominent citizens anil prop
erty owners of the south side attended the
meeting of the South Side Improvement
club Trlday evening nt Tenth nnd Hickory
streets. John Power presided and was TO-
clccted president
n J. Cornish spoke in favor of n reor
ganization of the club for active work , as
there arc n number of projects under con
sideration for the betterment of the south
aide. Ono of them Is the extension of tbo
South Thirteenth street car line from Its
southern extremity to South Omaha , Ho
had been informed that about fifty south
side property owners have organized to re
sist the collection of taxes levied for tbo
boulevard. Ho hoped this was not true , as
it was to the advantage of south side people
ple to pay for their Improvements by the
local assessment system It they should
seek to secure the levy of general taxes for
park and boulevard purposes they would
have to pay about one-fourth of the pro
portionately much heavier expense contem
plated for the park systems in other parts
of the city. Incidentally , Mr. Cornish re
ported that the Park commission has pur
chased material for cagtug all the birds In
Ulvervlew park.
John Power started the discussion of street
railway extension by saying that he recently
had occasion to ride over the present South
Omaha line a number of times , and declared
thnt it was a shame the way the packing
house emplojcs have to stand up in order
to ride on the cars at all Another line to
South Omaha Is an Imperative necessity , and
If the Omaha Street Railway company will
not build It , ho thought the new Council
Bluffs & Manawi line might bo Induced
to do eo. The club ought to stir the mat
ter un nnd see that the laborlne men of
South Omaha are given an opportunity to
get cheap homes In the southern part of this
city. Incidentally ho called attention to the
fact that he recently tried to find a home
that was nearer the court house , but there
was not a house to bo had east of four
teenth street from the railroad tracks to the
southern city limits. Ho thought there Is
nn opportunity in that section for men of
capital to make profitable Investment In
tenement property.
Mr. Stuht said he had consulted with the
street railway officials recently concerning
the proposed extension to South Omaha. Ho
was Informed that they had looked over the
Hue and will take the matter up at the
annual meeting.
A committee comprising Messrs. Cornish ,
Buck nnd Stuht was appointed to head off.
If possible , any opposition to the boulevard
tax , and when the club adjourned It was to
meet again In one week , at the corner of
Thirteenth and Garfleld.

"Depicting as it docs some of the many horrible
rible scenes Incidental to the time of the fall
the monarchy In France and * the death
of King Louis XVI and his Austrian queen ,
Mr. Stuart's now play "Mario Antoinette " IB
one that cannot fall to win human sympathy
for the ill-fated ruler and his consort and
oxclte hatred of the fanatics who were their
murderers In hl.s effort to create new In
terest In this well known historical chni-
acter of the unfortunate Marie Antoinette ,
tbo author has painted a tender , loving vvlfo
and mother rather than a queen. The do
mestic tendernecs of the character could not
help but excite a sympathetic feeling among
the large audience which saw the play Fri
day night for the first time in Omaha.
Throughout the action from the prologue to
the inevitable conclusion in the prison roll
of the Conclergerlo from which the ill-fated
queen walked to the guillotine , the dramatist
has adroitly kept the maternity feeling In
the foreground. So strong Is this appeal
to sympathy that the dramatist has over
looked oilier dramatic values and his play
movea with moro or less somberness and
tedium , It Is hardly to bo expected that any
dramatist would essay to provoke merri
ment from so doleful a historical subject ,
but ono would naturally think that the mod
ern writer would dispense with as much un
necessary gloom as possible and thus liven
the subject somewhat. However , the piece
Is nevertheless historically correct and the
chief incidents In the life of Marie Antoin
ette from 17S9 to 1793 are not lost sight of
and If It be a virtue to bo a dramatic his-
Endorsedjt Home ,
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Omaha Citizen ,
The public endorsement of a local citizen
Is the best proof that can bo produced. None
better , none stronger can be had When a
man cornea forward and testifies to his follow
citizens , addresses his friends and neigh
bors , you may bo sure ho Is thoroughly con-
vlnccd or he would not do so. Telling one's
experience when It Is for the public good Is
an act of kindness that should bo appreci
ated. The following statement given by n.
resident of Omaha adds one more to the
ninny cases of Home endorsement which nro
being published about "Tho Little Con
queror. " Head It
Mr John C Hoeller , stock keeper of the
third floor In McCord-I3rady Co's wholesale
grocery , living at 2627 Charles street , says :
"I had a weak back for nearly three years.
Sometimes ( t ached constantly , particularly
so If I stoopped or lifted , I used medicine

torlan Mr. Stuart may be , credited with in
tentions well carried out. Ho has , however ,
attempted no new plot. A few pages of
standard history , familiar to many , would
sufflCQ for tbo scenario of the performance ,
consequently a etory of the play need not
bo told here.
The amazing quality of art possessed by
Modjeska has Another exposition In "Mario
Antoinette. " Her audience Prlday night was
trlado to feel the emotions of the character
and It Is doubtful If there was a dry eye
In the auditorium during the scene In which
eho parts from her husband forever and they
were filled with admiration when she bravely
walked to the guillotine * with head erect
and dignified bearing.
John 12 Kellerd made n splendid Louis ,
his emotional efforts being Indeed praise
worthy. There wns n , dash of color dls-
playcil In the character ot the mob-mad
dened "cltlzenees" played by Mary Hall.
The balance of the company was thoroughly
competent and none ot the parts was. poorly-
done. An elaborate scenic Investiture hag
been provided for the now drama , while the
ccstumea vvoro well In keeping with the pro
duction.
This afternoon "Tho Ladles' Battle"a com
edy , will bo the offering , while this evening ,
owing to the demand for "Macbeth" among
the youthful students of the city In partic
