Bobbin, my boy, com to Omahat Com
Quick! Touch the cashier for a few white
buttons and hike by the first thing headed
thli way. The Knights of Ak-8ar-Ben are
pulling off a carnival that I wouldn't hare
ybu miss for a million.
. GoodT Why, pal, it's one of thoae tell-your-grand-chlldren
events with all-tar cast
and If there' any thoroughbred this aide
of Cheyenne who Isn't entered its because
there's aomebody dying at home.
I went against the whole works last night
went over with .Tom Moore, Doc Pierce,
Allle flwoboda, Billy Penn and Old Jim
Pumps, and stayed there from milking
time till they anufled the calcium.
Oh, lovely doln'sU I'm measuring my
brain box with the Atlantic cable this beau
tlful Sabbath morning, and talking with my
finger. I've got my voice done up In
ramphor and I'd wear ear muffs If I had 'em
Noise! On the living, I haven't heard
many different kinds since Carrie Nation
campaigned In the Third ward.
None of the Demon D In It, mind you.
Budge dispensaries were all ruled off. But
Just a free and easy, French and sassy free-for-all
with everybody entered regardless
of weight or previous mark. Miss Phylls
rtetty-much-soclcty wae right In the same
play with Hattie Ham-and from the bean
bouae, you know, and nobody too good to
get on any other body's corns. Do you get
me?
Where Deadwood Breaks la.
To make It doubly fierce last night the
Black Hills bunch showed up. Bobble, child,
you have never had what's coming to you
till you've aeen that herd In action. When
they light, everything else climbs trees.
We butted Into them at Roltalr's and went
the whole route with them. Roltalr's Is
kind of delirium tremens parlor, Robbie.
You see 'em, only you don't aee 'em. The
teaser out In front piped It off that hi
blll-of-fare Included "Pharoah'a Daughter,
a beautiful Illusion worked with lights." An
old timer from 'Dead wood, away back In
the crowd, thought he said "Faro Dealer,
worked with lights," and the way he
stampeded that herd to get Into, the game
was something ferocious. A cop was still
carrying tee to the cashier when we came
out.
" Doe Pierce put us against the Eruption
of Mont Pelee, next door. Said It was In
the interest of science; that every man
with bad blood ought to see what a real
eruption Is like. Billy Penn said he sposed
ttit was "Doc's bind of humor," which la
the first time I ever heard Willie Joke. The
how? Well, it's pretty bully from Young
Men's Christian association standpoint and
a good safe place to take the offspring.
In at tho wild animal show we hit the
Black Hills again. Fast music! Colonel
Somebody was on the mat with a bruin,
Oraeco-Roman, for gate receipts and a
aide bet of three bourbons. Jim Weaver
waa. feeding a Hon from his naked lunch
hook and Dave O'Brien was boosting the
candy business with the snake charmer.
The show's got Its own wind Jammers and
altogether H'a worth looking Into.
' . Where Tom Waited, to Camp.
Bobble,'' why ,ls It' that" thoroughbred
can no more do a Midway and pass up
the Streets of Cairo than he can do Chi
cago and pass up State street T, They've

Judge Cooley la going to Introduce me to
some afternoon when tt'a raining and there
Isn't much doing. Quite a show. Tom
Moore wanted to atake out there for all
evening, but we told him nay. Dumps
had sighted the champagne bots on the
tent next door and was In a hurry to
move. Ilm breaks away from the Battle
Creek stuff any time you show him the
vineyard gate and he did the hot foot for
fair this time. On a platform in front
were a pair of buds from the seminary
gardens that Jim said he used to know in
Boston. Maybe he did, but I knew one
of them myself a year ago, and she wasn't
In . Boston then. She waa doing the fl-ft-Hexeklah

Where the White Smoke Carls.
Bobble, dost remember Hop Fiend Sam we
met the night Ole Jackson showed us how
the other sixteenth lives? Well, the chink
Is doing the stunt for money in the Opium
Den this week and he's the happiest-looking
yellow kid you ever lamped. Two others,
one a woman, are smoking In the same den,
and I suppose by this time they've all got
gold palaces and tall coal piles to burn.
The Oay Burlesquers are three of a kind
from a Bowery deck with a black cuter
wild. He (the cuter) warbles a little,
dances about the same amount and then
they have a "tablow," I am not saying a
word about these. What a man says about
them ought to be governed by the expres
sion of his wife's face and of course I'm
not wearing any wife this fall.
The Paris Dancing Girls one from Dub
lin, one from the Congo Free State and the
other from heaven knows where are a will
ing bunch with their feet, and the "Upside
Down Show" has the danseuse-on-the-mlr-ror
trick, but you are too wise on all that
to need any leading. Coming down the line
again there are a pair of horses that are
going to run for the legislature next fall,
a dog and pony show that no kid ought to
miss and In between them "The Old Planta
tion" with a good, full troupe of the real
brunettes.

Last on the board Is an Illuminated foun
tain that's swell. Throws fireworks and
water at the same time and has a fairy in
white tights on a pedestal In the middle.
Colored lights, figured stereopticon plates,
picture cloaks all that business, you know,
and all fit.
Now all this I'm giving you, remember, Is
on the Mudway alone. Buck Keith has some
Esquimaux corralled on another lot; and
elsewhere ther'es a fat girl from Salisbury,
Mo., the Cherry 81sters from Iowa, a five

coming to us. It's great, Robbie! People
stand around rubbering with their mouths

la Coancll Blnffss.
Mrs. O. F. Eads, claiming to live at 1028
Avenue D, Council Bluffs, was arrested In
South Omaha last evening, charged with
passing counterfeit money. During the aft
ernoon numerous complaints were made at
the South Omaha police etstlon that coun
terfeit $S-gold pieces bad been passed. At
last the Chicago bakery on lower N street.
discovered that a gold coin was spurious
and Immediately started to trace the offen
der. Officer Charles Alstadt .was passing
and his attention was directed to a nicely
dressed young woman, whom he susplcloned
had passed tbe money. She was arrested
and taken to jail. As soon as she wss tsken
Into the office of the Jail she broke down
and to Officer Henry Elefelder and a re
porter of Tbe Bee told her itory. She said
that her husband Is a dentist in Council
Bluffs and that he has been making these
coins for some time and forced her to pass
them upon the public. She said that she
had a baby only two weeks' old and almost
up to the time of Its birth her hueband
would send her out to do his work.
Forced to Be a Criminal.
"I always rebelled at the work, as it was
disgusting and criminal In my eyes," sobbed
the young woman, "but he told me that ho
would kill me If I didn't go ahead and do
what he wanted me to. I did not know
what to do. I went to my mother and told
her that I thought I would have to come
home, but she begged me not to leave my
husband. I did not tell her about the coun
terfeit money. Then my baby came; that
was Just two weeks ago. Yesterday he or
dered me out upon the streets again, glv
tng me some of the money to pass. I started
to work In South Omaha, and you can see
the result."
The woman told the police that the dies
in which the coins were moulded were In
ber husband's office in Council Bluffs, and
the South Omaha police Immediately tele-'
phoned to Council Bluffs to have Eads ar
rested. When arrested Mrs. Eada had about $17
on her person. When this was taken from
her she cried and stated that $2 of "it any
way belonged to her and she hoped that this
would be returned to her. The $15, she
stated, was tbe money she had obtained by
passing the counterfeit money.
Mrs. Eada is a young woman about 22
years of age, of refined appearance and
seema to be highly intelligent and well
educated. She was dressed In up-to-date
manner and did not, by any means, have
tbe appearance of a crook. The story she
old lue punua Was related tu SUch a
straightforward manner, and the woman
seemed to be so thoroughly pentlnent that
it is believed by those who talked with
her. Her father, Charles Ratzel, Uvea at
No. 619 North Twenty-third street, Omaha.
She waa later turned over to the United
States authorities and taken to Omaha. -
Oeorge C. Eades, living at 1028 Avenue
D, Council Bluffs, was taken into custody
last night at his home by Captain Webb,
government secret service officer from
Omaha, assisted by Officers Murphy and
Leusch of tbe local police force.
After Eades had beea placed In the elty
jail Captain Webb and Chief of Police
Tlbblts made a search of the- house at
1028 Avenue D. where Eads claimed to fol-
ow hla profession as a dentist, although
his name does not appear In tbe city direc
tory. The officers found all the materials
needed for the manufacture of the spu
rious coins. Including plaster of parls dies,
gold wash, metal and various chemicals.
The officers also found one completed
counterfeit $5 gold piece.
SENATOR MILLARD IS PLEASED
Thinks Appointment of Thompson as
Minister to Brastl a
Happy One.
Tbe appointment of D. E. Thompson as
United States minister to Braxil la ex
pected to promote a larger Interchange of
business between distributing centers of
the west and tbe South American ports.
In an interview last evening on the sub
ject. Senator Millard said:
"Commercially speaking, Mr. Thompson's
appointment ia a most happy one. A man
of large affairs, and having Important In-.
terests In Mexico, he has acquainted him
self with the manner of doing business is
the Latin republics. With bis commanding
business ability, he will, within very
short time after reaching Rio de Janeiro,
grasp the new aituatlon and, I feel sure.
prove himself quite equal to the oppor
tunity before him."
Continuing, the senator said:
"The appointment of Mr. Thompson is
only another evidence of the Intense Inter
est PresMtent Roosevelt feels in tbe popu
lar movement toward republicanism In Ne
braska. Our state waa never before hon
ored in higher degree In the selection of
a foreign minister. The Brazil mission Is
an exalted station and any man would be
proud to hold it. Its Importance was en
hanced by tbe war with Spain, which
raised the United States government In the
estimation of every South American nation.
Many republicans have expressed great
satisfaction to me that my efforts to secure
this high place for Nebraska have been
crowned with success, and every member
of the party has reason to rejoice over
this new distinction conferred by tbe pres
ident. It will encourage every republican
to work all the more for tbe upbuilding
of the party and for the redemption of the
four fusion congressional districts. As to
the latter, my report are highly favor
able.
"In my talks with the president on the
subject of this appointment I urged it be
cause of the good It would do to the party
of the whole state In emphasizing the fact
that tbe president and his advisers no
longer regard Nebraska as a populist
stronghold, but on the contrary, look to us
as republicans with the utmost confidence
that our party will win this fall."

An t'nwl.e Nomination,
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 2G, 1902,-To
the Editor of The Bee: Please allow me in
a short space In your most valuable paper
to express my opinion In regard to the re
nnmlnatlon of the Hon. David H. Mercer,
formerly of Omaha. I feel safe In saying
that a more unwlne selection could not
have been made at this time. It is a well
known fact that Mr. Mercer Is not a friend
to the negro race, and he proved the same
when he refused to Indorse Dr. M. O.
Klcketts for a position that he was Justly
entitled to. It Is a well known fact that
Dr. Klcketts waa Instrumental in Bending
Mr. Mercer to congress. I mean by this
that when the negroes of Omaha were the
balance of power Dr. Rlcketts secured
their united support for Mr. Mercer when
he was only known as a railroad lobbyist.
He showed his ingratitude not only to Dr.
Klcketts. but to the entire colored voters
In his district by refusing to give, them
any recognition, with the exception of ap
pointing hla black man "Friday." who did
so much for him In his late campaign, to a
spltton cleaning Job In his committee room.
And now, 1 hope that the Intelligent negro
ference of charities and corrections held
recently In Detroit, by Mrs. P. E. B. Sill,
and the reports of the Los Angeles bien
nial by the various delegates who attended.
The delegates from the Omaha Woman's
club to tbe annual convention of tbe Ne
braska Federation of Women's Clubs, to
be held In Columbus, October 8-11, are as
follows: Mesdames Tllden, Harford. C. C.
Belden, Hoobler, Andrews, E. B. Towle,
