Rlnallns; Bros", circus, admittedly the
largest thing of lu kind In the world, ex
hibit! at Twentieth and Paul street this
afternoon and evening. According to the
report from cities where the how has
played this sesson, the stereotyped phrase
"better than ever" haa never been used
with greater veracity. With Its army of
2.180 employes, lea-Ion of horses, quantities
of scenery and properties, extensive me
nagerie, the whole representing the Invest
ment of hundreds of thousands of dollar,
the Mingling Bros, hare always been able
to live up to their advertising.
The show Is conveyed about the country
In elghty-flve cars, In four railroad trains,
each arranged with special care and with a
definite aim. This morning, shortly after
midnight, the first train arrived from Olen
wood, la., ' where the circus played yes
terday. It 1 known a the "flying squad
ron" and has nineteen ears, one for men,
four for horses and the remainder con
taining mess tenta. ranges, kitchen sup
plies and the parade floats, all in charge
of Steward A. L. Webb. At daylight the
unloading will begin, the tents will go up
quickly at the ground and by the . time
the second train Is safely In the yards
breakfast will be ready for all the em
ployes. Not a stroke more than necessary
to prepare the meal Is done before break'

have worked an Innovation In show roetlv
ods, having found It to work to the ad
vantage of the management as well a the
men.
How Other Train Are Made I' p.
Train No. 1 tarries the huge menagerie,
the stake and chain wagons, the electric
light engines, dynamos, the great portable
pipe organ and heavy wagons and work
horses. Train No. 2 has the ring stock.
the big tents for the main show, the men
agetie and the dressing rooms, the baggage
of the performers and the Immense spec
tacular scenery. Including the properties.
The fourth train Is composed almost ex
clusively of Pullmans and transports the
performers, business staffs, and the pre'
clous elephants and camels. The stars have
staterooms. Every man employed about
the circus has a comfortable bed on the
train, tourist sleeper being used for the la
borer and regular Pullmans for the others.
G the last train there are two seventy
foot dining cars, provided with full com
plement of cooks and waiters, as are the
mess tent.
The chief new feature of the parade this
morning, which starts to move shortly after
10 o'clock, will be the magnificent floats
representing nearly every country in the
world. From six' to a doien people, men
and women, are upon each float and the
decorations being cosmopolitan, afford op
portunity for ornamentation of great beau
ty and brilliancy. . The -.display for , the

MRS. STOVER'S AGONY OVER
Victim ef Hrdrophobla Dlee Peace-
felly OTTlea- to Penerfal
Opiates.
Mr. George W. Stover died at her home.
1117 North Twenty-fourth treet. at 10:J0
yesterday morning, of hydrophobia, which
attacked her last Sunday. She passed away
peacefully and without pain or violent con
vulsions,' due to powerful Injections of
opiates. From 1 o'clock in the morning
until the time of her death the end was
momentarily expected and Dr. J. A. Cum
mlngs was in constant attendance. The
dreaded paralysis began early in the morn
ing and proceeded steadily until It had
conquered the heart. It was desired to
obviate all the physical contortions and
frothing at the mouth which usually ac
company the disease and this was success
fully accomplished.
Mr. Stover was the wife of George W.
Btover, a confectionery manufacturer and
wholesaler. Besides him she leaves a son.
George Stover, aged 17 years, a brother,
Assistant Fire Chief Wlndhelm, and a
sister, Miss Wlndhelm.
Mr. Qellenbcck. who was one of the
other persons bitten about six weeks ago by
the spaniel pup that caused Mrs. Stover's
death, went to Chicago yesterday morn
ing' for treatment at the Pasteur Institute.
Indication that rabies was attacking her
were apparent to the physicians.
The other persons known to have been
bitten have decided to wait until the scars
of the wounds show signs of inflammation.
when they, also, will go to Chicago to
undergo the' daily Injection of the anti
hydrophoblc serum.
Mrs. Stover's death has caused a pro
found impression all over the city, end
very person who owns a dog Is watching
the animal carefully. The fear of an epi
demic of the disease among the neighbors
Of the Stovers has somewhat subsided. It
usually takes about six weeks for rabies
to develop, and within a short time. If there
are no more seizures, the apprehension will
wear off.
TALKS OF DISCRIMINATION
A. J. Merlin Tells Real Estate El-
Rates.
A. J. Vlerling of the Paxton It Vlerllng
iron works entertained the Heal Estate ex
change yesterday at the Commercial club
with aom figure showing that Omaha la
suffering from discrimination by railways
and Is heavily handicapped In making ship
ments of manufactured goods and In re
ceiving raw material. Mr. Vlerllng said the
shipment made by hla firm fall under the
fifth class of freight. In the case of a
shipment to Reno, Nev., he said the rate
from Omaha was $1.37 and the rate from
Chicago to Omaha 27 cents. The rate
from St Paul to Reno was the same as
the rate from Omaha, namely, 11.37, and the
St. Paul rate from Chicago was only 15
cents. This notwithstanding the fact that
the St. Paul shipment would pass through
this city.
In all shipments to Pacific coast points
the Omaha rate wa the same aa the rate
from New York, aa for Instance to Port
land, Ore., the rate from Omaha and New
York was 76 cent. The clrect rate from
Omaha to Lead, S. D., la (0 cent raid the
St. Paul rate I 75 cent. Against this Is
the rate from Chicago to Lead, which Is
only 75 cents. The advantage for the Chi
cago man jfacturer, however. Ilea In the
fact that that I the complete rate, while
Omaha must bring its material from Chi
cago here to manufacture tefore rending
to " Lead. The' fate for the material to
Omaha end the-tprodUet on to Lead I then
87 cents and the same rate for St. Paul Is
to cents. The St. Paul product I all hauled
to Omaha and reahipped here for Lead.
Mr. Vlerllng aald the reduction of the
bridge toll was of the greatest possible ad
vantage to his Arm. The Real Estate ex
change thanked Mr. Vlerllng for his re
marks and transacted no further business.

building and the work 1 exacting. Major
Haverstlck said:
" I And the Omaha building In flrat-claas
condition and much Improved overMhe con
dition of last year, both In Its general and
sanitary aspects. The Omaha building
ranks as one of the first-class buildings of
the United States, being classed along with
the hulldlngs at Buffalo, N. Y., Milwaukee,
Wla, and Savannah. Qa., In Its architec
tural design and symmetry. I also And
that the public building at Lincoln, your
state capital, la in very good condition,
much better in fact than ordinarily occurs
with government buildings, at carltals of
states. I do not know the real reason of
this except that it be that the state capi
tals are generally lolitlcal centers and the
custodians of the building feel indifferent
a to the abaolute sanitary perfection of
the structures. I shall remain In Omaha
for three or four day."

PottmaaUr Etter Promisei Better Service
with Aid of Additional Clerk.
COLORED PEOPLE CONDEMN INFORMANT
Dislike Lee's Pait la "Pecker's Captare
Latter Will Waive Preliminary
Examination Xolaa Who
Spied on Justice.
Postmaster Etter expects to give South
Omaha much better postal service very
shortly. Yesterday he was notified that an
additional clerk had been authorised dating
from Ju'.y 14. The postmaster at once ap
pointed Justin F. Badgerow of Omaha to
the position. Badgerow was on the sub
stitute list and was next in line for a per
manent appointment. He I started out
at a salary of Woo a year.
Now that sufficient clerical help haa been
provided the postmaster says that he will
keep the money order and stamp windows
open until 7 p. m. In order to accommodate
working people. At the present time the
registry windows close at 5 pr m. and the
stamp window at p. m. As soon aa the
vacation season is over, which will be In
about two weeks, these two departments
will be kept open until 7 o'clock.
Other Improvements in the service are
contemplated by Postmaster Etter, but he
said yesterday that he was not in a posi
tion at this time to make known his plans.
As for the repairs to the postofflce build
ing the postmaster said that he had not
heard from Washington regarding the bids
forwarded. He expects to hear In time for
the contractor who secure the work to
commence not later than August 1.
Some changes In the late departure of
malls may be made when the reorganized
clerical force get Into harness.
Tucker Mill Waive.
Attorney H. C. Murphy, who represents
Andrew Tucker, stated last night that he
had decided after a talk with his client to
waive a preliminary examination. When
arraigned In police court yesterday Tucker
pleaded not guilty to the charge of mur
der in the first degree and the hearing was
set for Friday. Tucker's attorney expects
to have the bond fixed today and then the
prisoner will go to the county Jail to await
a hearing In the district court.
Among the colored people there seems to
be considerable feeling against Lee, the
man who tipped off the whereabouts to
Chief Biiggs. It appears that Lee was
hard up In Ottumwa a. id Tucker procured
him two meals. As soon as he learned that
Tucker was wanted he made his way to
South Omaha and furnished the police the
information. While Lee asserted that he
was not afraid of anyone It was noticed
that he hung pretty close to police head
quarters yesterday afternoon. He Is wait
ing for the reward. When this la paid the
police think that he will move on.
Nolan, Not Dergqalst.
A. L. Bergqulst of the fire and police
board called at The Bee office yesterday to
say that It was Mr. Nolan and not him
self who had "rubbered" and found out
that Judge King had released Sullivan and
Dunkln without their first having paid their
fines In full. Bergqulst says that it waa
Nolan who offered the resolution to . the
board Instructing the chief of police to
arrest Sullivan and Dunkln and keep them
In jail until the balance of the fine due waa
paid.
In connection with employing an Omaha
attorney W. B. Vansant of , the fire and
police hoard asserted that the Jamee H.
VanDusen employed by the board lived in
South Omaha, but admitted that he main
tained an office in Omaha.

END OF. M'RAS .COMPLAINT
Ohjecftona to Operation of Saloon on
Leavenworth . Street . Are
Withdrawn,
When the full Board of Fire and Police
Commissioner got together yesterday
afternoon to consider the question of grant
ing a license to Charles Mets for a saloon
at 2706 Iavenworth street the members
found they had nothing to do. The relator
in the protest agvlnst the saloon, John D.
Macllae, by his attorney, George C Mar
tin, filed notice that the difference had
been settled, and in consideration of cer
tain promises by Mr. Mets he would with
draw his objections. The promises relate
to the manner of operating the saloon and
the construction of certain fences and
screens between the MacRae home and
the rear of the drink parlor. The board
granted a license authorising the saloon,
thus nullifying the action taken a few
days ago when the permit wag revoked by
order of the supreme court. The saloon was
closed for a short time, but waa opened
a soon as the understanding had been
reached between the principals.

The plan of the South Omaha stock yards
and packing house manager to purchase
that portion of the plant within the limits
of South Omaha and make a long-time
contract with the Omaha Water company
for a supply of water at the corporation
line between the two cities, a report of
which was published exclusively In The Bee
Tuesday, was the most interesting feature
of discussion at the meeting of the ap
praising board yesterday. Members of
the Water board and representatives of the
city and of the company declared that all
the knowledge they had of the matter was
what they had rend In The Bee, and asked
for further details. It was generally con
ceded that should the South Omaha men
carry out their plan of forming a company
and buying the plant, etc., it would greatly
simplify matters. The appraising board
did not take official cognisance of this fea
ture of the controversy, having previously
stated that so far as South Omuha and
other outlying portions of the plant are
concerned, and the manner in which the
valuations and report will be made, noth
ing would be decided or given out at this
meeting, the members desiring to more
fully consider and further confer on such
questions.
Doeameatary Evidence Accepted.
Attorney Hall, on behalf of the Omaha
Water company. Immediately after the ap
praising board convened yesterday morning,
made a formal tender of certified copies of
the contract-ordinance, other water works
ordinances and other city and official docu
ments. The offer was accepted and copies
will be furnlched members of the board aa
soon as they can be made.
Chairman Mead, speaking for the board,
said there were three methods by which
the Inventory of the water works property
might be made. The first one would be
for the board to appoint an expert to make
such Inventory, and in the opinion of the
board this was the preferable way. The
second was for the city to appoint one ex
pert and the company one expert, the two
working together to make the Inventory.
The third was for the company to have the
Inventory made and submit it to the city
for examination.
Attorney Wright asked that. October 1,
or an earlier date, be set for the comple
tion of the inventory, as until It is made
out the board cannot proceeu with Its
work, and if not completed by that date
the board cannot make the required inves
tigations, except under difficulties, until
next spring. President Woodbury stated
that the company is already waiving two
onths, aa It could not be compelled to
begin making the Inventory until after the
expiration of the twenty-year period in
September, but that It la willing to, and
will, begin on it at once. He doubted.
however, the ability of the company to get
it out before November 1, the date men
tioned at Monday's meeting.
Board Settles aeatloa.
The board settled this point, to ths ap
parent satisfaction of both sides, by asking
that the company furnish an Inventory of
its distribution system by September a.
The city will then be given about ten days
In which to examine it. and the board will
raoet again early in October to make its
examination of the mains and pipes. A
supplementary Inventory of the other prop
erty could be furnished later and the two
will be open to correction until the final
report 1 made. If the distribution system
Inventory wa not furnished until November
1 it would be Impossible for the board to
make a satisfactory examination this year.
The company elected to follow the third
method outlined by tha board In making
the Inventory.
Chairman Mead stated that the digging
of holes down to mains and pipes should
not be done until after the board recon
vene In Omaha, and should then be done
under Its direction. Also that the board
will not under any condition make its final
report at tha October meeting.
Neither the city or company responding
to a request for more suggestion the
board adjourned until 1:30 in the afternoon,
when cars were taken for a trip over South
Omaha. All the members of the board
leave this evening for their homes in the
east.
Pleaeed with Plant.
The member of the board were greatly
pleased with what they saw on their tripe
to the Poppleton avenue and Mlnne-Lusa
station Tuesday and did not hesitate to
say Informally that when the city acquires
the plant It will have one of which It may
well be proud. The Poppleton avenue plant
met with their unanimous approval on ac
count of Its solidity and cleanliness.
Mr. Benzenberg, who la i engineer in
charge of the new, water works system
which Cincinnati haa been constructing for
the last six years, and who haa Inspected
most of the principal water work plant
In the country, states that the one at Flor
ence aurpasses any which he haa seen In
several particulars. The absolute cleanli
ness and car of the water, he says, cannot
be appreciated by Omaha people, aa they
have not been how different the conditions
are at other plants. Including one at a city
on tha Missouri river which has recently
had an oversupply of water. One very Im
portant feature of the plant, he ssys, is
the system of basins In which the water
Is aerated and given more opportunities to
absorb txygen several times over than Is
given in any other plant which he haa seen.
Mr. Alvord declared that the Omaha plant
Is unique In the history of water works
plant construction In this country so far
as he haa seen in acting on a number of
appraising boards and visiting other cities.
In the arrangement and operation of Mlnne-
Lusa station and the outlying basins It ap
proaches, he declares, what may be called
the perfect plant.
