In other words, the safety vents for a, fire on the stage never were operated, even experimentally, and every audience that ever sat In the Iroquois theater from the day that the theafr was pened had been In .mralnent danger of r-iasting to death wholesale whenever a fire broke out on the stage.

Special Tele gram. ) It is expected Senator Millard will shortly after his arrival announce the suc cessor to Joseph Crow, present postmaster at Omaha. Although there are a number of candidates it is believed here that Mel TThl will be nsmed, his name having led ell the rest since he announced his can didacy. While the postroastership seems settled there Is considemble speculation as to who will he appointed assistant post master, there being a rumor current that Mr. Wondard will step down and out when TThl goes in. Senator Millard alone . has the key to this problem and as he re-1 turns to Washington tomorrow It ia an- Urlpated that the name of the succewnr to Mr. Crow will go to the senate early next week.

GULDEN CHARGE UNFOUNDED So Cause for His Arrest Story af Hia Coafeaaloa a Deteetive'a Pip Dreaso. The Bee a few days ago printed an ar ticle with reference to the arrst of Dan D. Golden on a charge of breaking into the bouse of a woman named Scott and pawning a silk dress stolen out of it, which upon investigation proves to have been largely incorrect. The Bee's state ment, which was based upon information given by Detective D rummy of Jhee ! Omaha police force, went so far as to say fhat Golden was not only identified o- the Scott woman and by the pawnbroker, but hod himself confessed to the offense charged against him. It turns out that while Goldefr was in fact arrested on Monday without a war rant and detained in Jnil without oppor- i unliy to di nd himolf for over thirty hours, no corriaint wns loogen agaiasi him but he was tinaily released on his own 1 recognised and never even arraigned for a hearing when he returned to the police j re,lrt at the appointed hour Wednesday to prove his innocence. Goklen is a colored man of family with rhlldren In thu public schools, who has been working from time to time as a waiter tn various Omaha "estaurants and upon the Pullman cars, and so far as can , ,w aai,,, hnJ, WVer had his honety impeached.
