"Omaha In certainly waking up, commer
cially," remarked one of the foremost and
most progressive business men of the city
yesterday as he boarded the excursion
train for York at the Klkhorn depot. "This
excursion demonstrates the fact that the
business men of Omaha arc awakening nnew
'to the Importance of preserving and en
oeuraglng the friendship of the people of
Mirroundlng communities. We will surprise
Ihn people of York today."
It was a marvelous outpouring of holiday
teckcrs that prompted the above remarks.
Seerctnry L'tt of the Commercial club, who,
with the active agents of Ak-Snr-IIen, the
musical festival and the Commercial club,
organized the excursion upon the Invitation
of tho people of York, who arc entertain

showed tip at the depot to tell the tickets
of tho Commercial club, which were to be
exchanged for railway tickets, he found sit
roaches pulled up In tho passenger sheds
and about halt a dozen people waiting. The
railroad people had evidently concluded
that the six coaches would bo ample to
enrry tho crowd, aud, In fact, ltiwas a little
lonesome around thoro for a time. Hut
within a courier of an hour crowds of SOLDIERS

tho number gradually Increasing until a
Hteady stream of pleasure seekers was
clamoring for admission to tho waiting

sharp razor, and now carries his fiead tied

occurred In tho Klkhorn Valley house, a

on lower Farnam street Thursday evening
and put the finishing touches on a large Jag,
after which liu started to clean out the

of eleven coaches, drawn by two ponderous
locomotives, pulled out of the depot amidst

lluMlnt'KN Houses Soiul Ijmployc.
Some of tho leading business houses had
prepared distinctive showings by sending
large delegations of employes, wearing ap
propriate badges. Tbo official badgo of the
excursion was n white paper dlso bearing
tho words "York" and "Omaha," with
clasped hands between tho names. These
badges fluttered nt tho ends of narrow col
ored ribbons. Pink ribbon Ak-Snr-Bcn

"Ak-Sar-Ben Omaha Greets York July

The soldiers were expected to pass through
Omaha during tho morning, hut the two
trnlns were held at Council Bluffs for sev
eral hours, the first train wnltlng until the
arrival of tho second In order to take on nn
additional car, Early yesterday a spe
cial train went through, also bound for San
Francisco. It contained 140 young engineers
from West Point, N. Y., who are reported
to bo enroute to China.
"Eleven years ago," said Mrs. A. B. Hill.
'two men were keeping bachelor quarters
in the house nt 1619 Center street, Omaha.
They had with them nn enormous sum of
money In gold, bills and Oliver. One day
the older of the two men sickened and died
and one night a week later the other man
placed the money in two boxie, took It Into
the back yard and burled It to a depth of
six feet. He then re-entered the house aud
committed suicide."
This .Mrs. Hill said slowly, In a monoton
ous monotone, her eyes fixed on n spot on
tho ceiling. The room was darkened. The
only other occupant of the apartment was
Mrs. M. Stadler. who, by an odd co-
Incidence, lives at the number given 1619
Center street.
I don't believe it," said Mrs. Stadler,
who Is a practical German woman of good
scne.
"Very well," retorted the secrets. "There
are plenty of others who will believe It."
and she made a movement signifying that
the Interview was at an end.
But Mrs. Stadler paused at the threshold
"If I pay you money for helping me find
this thts treasure," she resumed, "can you
secure mo against loss? Thla Is n business
transaction, you know."
Tho seercss said she could, nnd thus tho
Interview was re-opened.
This conversation occurred In ft house at
2002 Cuming street, nearly a month ago,
nnd since then many strange things have
happened touching -tho fortunes of Mesdatnrs

Mrs. Hill nnd her "able nsslstant," "Prof."

concerning the prosecution of "Dr." Mary
Frost, fortune teller, on a charge of obtain

spired tho dupes of Mrs, Hill with a hope
that there was some redress for them, as

Value.
Fire was discovered in the rear of the
I'nltid States restaurant, nt 1510 Dodge
street, about 1 o'clock this morning, an hour
after the place had been closed for tho
night. The (lames made much headway In
the few minutes preceding tho nrrlval ot
the department, but were soon under con
trol. Some lire had been left In the rnngo
when tho rcetaurant was closed and In some
way this must have communicated to the
woodwork? for there was no other fire In
tho building. A. Nyberg's saloon, occupying
tho room next door west, was somewhat
scorched, though tbo damage will be small.
Tho restaurant building, a smnll one-story
brick, with a rramo kitchen, lo owned by
eastern parties. It was damnged to tho ex
tent of $500. II. B. Norrls and P. D. Harris
aro tho owners ot mo restaurant, meir
fixtures nre valued at $2,500 and are Insured
for $2,200. The kitchen equipment will be
a total loss and enough damage waj done to
the other fixtures to make the amount reach
half tho total value.

Then she waved a wand over the tails-

Nearly a month has passed since then, and
meanwhile the skepticism of the two women
reasserted Itself. No box of gold had np-
pearcd on the jurf of their back yard; no
chest of greenbacks had heaved Itself out
of the rich black loam. So they dug up
the "surge" nnd markod $25 down to profit
;ind loss.
A reporter for The Bee was permitted to

fund, making a total of $15,500 from sa

ter of fact, this monoy was In tho hands
of tho school treasurer prior to the pur
chase of tho Hoctor site, It was not so
reported by him, for tho reason that
fifteen liquor licenses hud not bcon grauted
by tho council.
In addition to this amount the 'board
has tho state apportionment of about
$4,000, while the 20-mlll levy made by tho
county commissioners will bring about
$10,000. Thcro Is also $2,300 In tho hands

about $S00 ot school tax has been col
