Caught In the very act of attempting a housebreaking, John Turner, a negro, was surprised by W. K. Crary, IK2 Spencer street, and marched Into the hands of the police at the point of a revolver, Thursday evening. The negro has been bound over for burglary awaiting trial In the city Jail. Crary was returning home shortly after 9 o'clock and went around to the rear of his house to- enter by tha back door. As he did so he came upon the negro at work at a window, and before the fellow could take alarm or was aware of his presence Crary had him covered with a revolver. Turner readily obeyed his captor's order to go ahead, and Crary marched him to tha Bishop pharmacy, 2816 Bhermaji ave nue, whero Patrolman L. A. Smith was encountered. The officer then took charge of the prisoner and sent him to Jail. A'hcn questioned at the station Turner said he had been In Omaha but four days, having come here from Lavenworth, Kan. An Omaha pawn ticket dated December 24 was the only artUie of value found on his person and two pocketknlves were his only weapons. An examination of the window where the negro was found at work showed that he was working with a view to opening it during the night. A number of holes had been bored In it. but he evidently' suc ceeded In throwing away the tool, as li could not be found. Crary is a real eelate dealer and lives with his family at the number stated. Friday morning Turner confessed to Chief of Detectives Savage .that he had robbed a house at Hamburg, la., obtaining a gold watch and $-0, and tha watch was found In an Omaha pawn shop Friday morning by Detective Donuhoe. He also confessed to having served threa terms In the peniten tiary at Leavenworth, Kan., aggregating nine years, for burglary. A complain was filed In police court Fri day morning by Mr. Crary, and after a preliminary examination Turner was beund over on tha charge of burglary for trial In the district court under bond of $5oO. The polico are highly elated over the cap ture of Turner and were load In their praise of Mr. Crary for his capture. It was a peculiar coincidence that Thursday night was the first night for several months that Mr. Crary had carried hla revolver.

Several hundred of the faithful subjects of King Samson gathered, filling the entire lower floor of the buld lug. President Wattles presided and with him on the stage were members of the Board of Governors and others. Mr. Wat ties sounded the note of revival in his an nual address. "A great religious revival was held re cently In this city," he said, "and the key note of the revival was, 'Get right with Ood.' It I might suggest such a motto to the assembled business men of Omaha, I would say, 'Square yourselves with your fellow cltlsens.' Subscriptions received from the business men for the celebration In 1907 aggregate to date $S.4O0. This Is about enough to pay for one of the parades which we place on the street. But It la enough to cause the Board of Governors to decide that the Ak-Sar-Ben must continue. that we cannot afford to give up this In stitution which has built up the business of Omaha and made tt the market place for the people of the state. Hitherto It has been necessary for the members of the Board of Governors to sign notes and be come personally responsible for the great expenxe connected with this greatest of Omaha's institutions. This year the board will go JuBt so far as the citizens and business men warrant their going." After Mr. Wattles' address It was re ported that a number of business houses bad doubled their subscriptions and that all the bunks of the city had taken this action. Sobecripffona Poor In. "Are there other sinners ready to take such action?" asked Mr. Wattles, and all over the house men rose In rapid succes sion, doubling and trebling tha subscrip tions of themselves or their firms. The limited time made it necessary to cut this part of the meeting short, but the secre tary will receive auch Increased subscrip tions by mall at any time. The action of the meeting last night waa an Indication that the efforts of Mr. Wavtles and the other members of the Board of Governors to awaken the people to the needs of the Ak-Sar-Ben have been most successful and that the parades for 1907 will bo more mag nificent than ever before In the history of King Samson's reign. Secretary Penfold read his report, show ing that $11.69 remains In the royal treas ury after all bills are paid. He also made a short speech showing the prosperity that Omaha owes directly to the goodfellow ship engendered by the meetings of the knights and to the advertising which the Institution gives the city. Three new members wjll be elected to the Board of Governors at the annual meeting of that body ear'y in January. Nominations for these places were made Thursday night as given above. The business meeting adjourned at 9 o'clock and the knights wltnesxed the play, "Madame Sana Gene," by the Burwood theater cast. . LINE ON BAD BOGUS MONEY Captain Webb ia Wsrslug Merchants Analnat Skillful Counter, felt Certiorates. Captain John Webb of the government secret service department was showing a new raised $10 silver certificate to the banks and department stores Thursday and Friday, to put them on their guard against the bill, which Is regarded as an extremely dangerous counterfeit. The bill Is raised from a 12 silver certificate and is the work of an expert. It can be readily detected, however, from the fact that It has The Indian bead frontispiece Instead of the well known "buffalo note" front common to all genuine 10 certificates. On the counter felt all of the figures and words "two" have been carefully erased and the figure 10" substituted both on the front and back of the note. The filagree work about the "Indian nead" as appearing on the original 2 note has been erased by chemicals nnd the space about the head Is left blank, except that the bank number adopted In all na tional bank notes Is printed in red Ink to take up part of the space to the right of the head left blank by erasure. The coun terfeit at first glance looks to be genuine and very little evidences of alteration are evident, so carefully has the work of alter ing the note been done. dent was engaged In distributing fertilise! over a field from a wagon. The wagon went into a ditch and Weber was throwi out and under the wheels. Weber was a brother of Mrs. Michael LJebemann of Beatrice', Neb. The body was taken in charge of by Coroner Brailey.
