FRAIXET LOST HIS BREECHES
Shakespearean Scholar Almost Reduced to
Wearing a Barren.
IIS HARD LUCK DOWN AT KANSAS CITY
Snxnl from minister tr the Tlintmht-
riilurnN nf it llrotlier Democrat
Who Hnd' AIoiik1 Tito
I'ulrH of Trousers.
"One woo doth tread upon another's
heels, so fast they follow," quoth that
mlncnt Shakespearean scholar, John Jay
Fralncy, as he alighted from the train yen-
tcrday morning which brought him back
from Kansas City, xvheru he had been in
attendance at the democratic national con
vention. His quotation from tho Immortal
bard of Avon did not have referenco to the
ticket named, as xvlth that Fralney ib highly
pleased. It referred to a robbery of which
ho was tho victim whllo in Kansas City.
Hcforo leaving for the convention Mr.
Fralney nrrayed himself In a bran now
craah suit nnd thus attired no member of
the Pottawattamie County Democratic
Marching club cut a more Imposing figure
or commanded more attention from the
admiring throngs xvhen the club dlfem-
barked from tho train nt Kansas City and
marched through tho (streets. Soma un
scrupulous Individual saw nnd admired the
Hi.lt nnd resolved to possess himself of it.
Whore there Is a will thoro Is a way. When
Mr. Fralney, tired with shouting the live
long day for Bryan and Hill, lny himself
down to rest Wednesday night ho placed
tho coat and vest under his hend for a
pillow, but tho nether garment containing
his return ticket, his money and well worn
copy of Shakespeare's "As You Llko It,"
he laid by his side. When ho awoke In tho
morning his trousers were gone and with
their contents aro still counted among the
missing.
A member of tho Pottaxvattamle delega
tion, who happened to be provided xvlth
two pairs of trousers, generously loaned
ono to Fralney. They wore a trlflo long
and a trlflo tight, but they were better
than nothing. Ho enmo home In them.
Health Officer Warcham was among tho
crowd that returned late Friday night. He
wns so hoarse from shouting that w"ion he
reached homo ho xvas unable to speak above
a whisper. Chief of Pollco Albro and Cap
tain Denny returned last evening, much
pleased xvlth their trip and the entertain
mcnt provided them by the Kansas City
authorities. City Attorney Wadaworth, 0
Wlckham, John Mulqueen, Jr., and sev
eral othors arrived homo yesterday mornlni.
They nil express themselves as weil please:!
with tho ticket and Insist It Is a winner,
although not ready to put any money on
their assertion.
City Attorney Wadsworth says the people
of Kansas City deserve great credit for the
manner in which they handled tho con
ventlon and tho attendant throngs. Tho
auditorium, he says, Is far superior to tho
ono In Chicago In xvhlch tho convention
was held eight years ago when he was
delegnto. Bxcept for tho theft of Fralney's
pantaloons tho party met with no mishap,

Sj South Omaha News . S
Tho injunction fever appears to be spread
ing. Yesterday B. Jetter, president of the
South Omaha Brexvlng company, secured
an order from Judge Dickinson of tho dis
trict court restraining tho city authorities
from laying a sidewalk on tho east side
of Thirty-sixth street, from Q street south
to the county line. It xvns at first pro
posed by the council to lay n six-foot plank
walk on this street, but later on tho ordl
nnnco was changed to read a txvo-plank
xvalk. Mr. Jotter contends that if n xvnlk
of tho kind described Is laid In this section
of tho city It xvlll soon be torn up nnd used
for kindling wood. Therefore, he holds
that tho expense Is an unnecessary one.
This tearing up of sidewalks Is a constant
sourco of expense to the city nnd tho street
commissioner Is kept busy replacing planks
which nre carried nwny in tho night time.
In some sections of tho city, especially
during cold xveathcr, xvholo sections of
sidewalk disappear in a single night. This
troublo has been nbated to some extent by
xvlrlng all planks on nexv xvnlks, but the
old walks, which nre not wired, aro being
torn up nnd carried away every day. Foino
time ngo nil patrolmen xxero Instructed to
keep a sharp eyo out for despollers of tho
city's walks, but not a single arrest has
been made.
Tho mayor and council propose to enforce
the ordinances creating permanent sldo-
xvalk districts. In somo instances prop
erty owners aro complying xvlth the or
dinances and permanent wnlks nre now be
ing laid In some of tho districts recently
created, This xvork Is to bo pushed this
summer, especially In tho center of tho
city, nnd it is expected that before winter
sets in most of tho down town xvnlks xvlll
to of a permanent nature. Every strip
of permanent walk laid reduces the ex
penditures In tho streot department, ns
uudcr existing laws the city nt large pays
for repairs under $1. In case repairs aro
over this nmount tho sum Is taxed up
against the property. But placing a plank
hero and thero all over tho city means an
expondlturo of a lnrgo sum of money In
tho eourso of a year, for xvhlch tho city re
ceives no direct return. If all sidewalk re
pairs were taxed up against abutting prop
erty n saving of nt least $2,000 a year would
bo made nnd, considering tho condition of
tho city's finances, this sum means a great
deal. It is understood that when Mayor
Kelly returns from his xvestern trip on
Tuesday, this matter xvlll bo brought to
his nttentlon, xvlth tho suggestion that he
tako somo steps to reduce expenses In the
sidewalk repair department. Whllo every
one seems to want good walks, property
owners aro very careless about keeping
planks nailed down and then when the street
commissioner comes along nnd makes re
pairs thero Is a protest against the tax.
A majority of the damage cases against the
city can he traced to defective walki and
this Is ono of the reasons why the author
ities are anxious to have pormnnent walks
laid ns rapidly as possible.

W. B. Cheek, lofal llvo stock agent for tho
Burlington, snld last evening that from re
ports along tho line of his road cattle were
all doing nicely, In fact, herds aro putting
on fat so rapidly that owners aro lcth to
ship Just now. With the exception of n dry
spot In tho Blnck Hills country thero Is
plenty of moisture all along the lino n
Wyoming nnd Montana. Shipments from
tho Dakotas will most likely commence a
little earlier than usual this year on account
of tho scarcity of rain, but In other secilons
thero may bo some delay, caused by the un
usually good condition of tho herds. Mr.
Cheek is of the opinion that n large propor
tion of the range cattle in Wyoming and
certain eeetlons of Montana will como tt
this market this summer and fall on accjuut
of the good prices paid and tho treatment
accorded shippers.
