A telegram from New York stated that the man waa not married at alt. With the fouother Mabrayltea he will take his sentence 'next Tuesday. With the conaent of District Attorney Temple the case of Ben Marks waa con tinued until the September term, and only a few more of the Mabray cases await dis position at this term. Wright, from Okla homa, and C. F. Fhllpot of Los Angeles, win be here for trial next week. A third one is W. I. Crlder, who was arrested at Los Angeles on Thursday and who an nounced his willingness to start for Council Bluffs at once. He will also face the court next week. Crlder'a arrest Is an Important one. He la asserted to be the associate and friend of Thlelman, and la charged .with miking the man from Louisville, Ky who came here with his attorney and located Thlel man and another man, who then gave the name of Alatead, at the Millard hotel In Omaha. They were not held, however, for the reason that the offense waa committed in Iowa. Crlder la aald to be the man who then went under the name of Alatead. Both Thlelman and Crlder, It la believed, could give some very Important testimony If called upon, but as all of the mlkera are pleading guilty, they will have no oppor tunlty to do ao. Fleas of guilty were taken and sentences Imposed In five other criminal caaea yeater dny morning. Ira Wright, a Des Molnea youth, who admitted robbing a substation postotflce there four different times, and Hay Lehman, the Fort Des Moines soldier who confessed to robbing the military post office and stealing $400 worth ef stamps, were each given one year and a day In tha Fort Leavenworth military prlaon.

Archer of Red Oak. was sen tenced to sixty days In the F.ed Oakk Jail and to pay a fine of 1300 for bootlegging. Albert Pyles. a Grand Junction, la., boot legger, got the same dose. A Jury haa been empanelled to try the case of the government against the Ioa Butter and Egg company, a subsidiary or ganization of the Bloomer Cold Storage company, charged with violation of the pure food laws. The indictment accused the company of sending a shipment of eggs to New York of auch age, In such a condition of bad health that they could not appear In good society. Before any testimony was taken the defendants con cluded to substitute a plea of guilty and taka their medicine rather than inhmlt in .Xhe ordeal of having a Jury trial.

March M.--Orders have been received here from Washington Matron John- that General Cartr's maneuver division Bellinger Building Destroyed by Flames, Loss Being Complete Structure 'Used as Storehouse and Apartments for Several Persons Set on Fire. The old Bellinger hospital, located at Twenty-sixth street and Broadway, waa totally destroyed by fire of undoubted In cendiary origin at an early hour yesterday. Seven tenants were burned out, $5,000 worth of onions were destroyed and $4,000 worth of other property consumed. The building waa built by Dr. Fred Bellinger In 1890 and waa used for a hos pital and sanitarium for a number of years, but finally ceaaed to be used. It remained Idle for aeveral years and waa then ac quired by W. T. Seaman, the veteran Omaha -wagon dealer. He built several shed additions to It and continued to oc cupy It as a vehicle warehouse, aalea sta tion and mlr shop until 1909, when be la alleged to have sold It to a Missouri real estate man for K00 acrea ef Missouri farm land. The owner, Mr. Kifer, has leased It for various purposes. Five small families occupied a portion of the second floor, which had been fitted up for light houaekeeplng. . Alderman Ellsworth and his brother had about J.&OO bushels of onions stored there, all crated and ready for shipment. The remainder of the first floor was being con verted Into a laundry by W. R. Kemp ac Son, who had Installed about $l,S0O worth of new machinery and expected to begin Its operation on Monday. The onions were roasted and ruined, but part of the laundry machinery may have some salvage In It. It was partially cov ered by Insurance and the onions were protected by a $5,000 risk. The families were driven from their rooms so hastily that they were unable to save anything. They were: J. B. Hodgson, Joseph Gould, Mrs. Krai?, Mrs. Clara Schlll. Mrs. Lettle Bartlett and Mrs. Kramer, the latter representing the owner aa his agent. She was compelled to leave a valuable gold watch and a diamond ring n her room when the fire drove her out. Both were found yesterday afternoon, the diamond uninjured, but the watch ruined. The main building was 80x60, exclusive of sheds. It waa afire In all parts when the firemen got the shall hold Itself in readiness to break camp and take the field as If for actual wtxrfare within two hours. The order caused much comment, for the particular reason that It did not come In the general maneuvers orders Issued ty General Carter today, but from the aeat of the government. Fuch an order means a blanket,ten days' rations, shelter tents, 203 rounds of am munition, etc. The order to be In readiness for opera tions in the field, while It might be a legitimate feature of maneuvers, Is not taken In that sense. Excepting the generals, to whom long years have taught conservatism, every one rejected the maneuver theory, but could not explain where war was to be ex pected. One officer of prominence said today he hoped Mexico and the L'nited States would not become embroiled. "We could defeat Mexico and there would be no lesson learned. The unthink ing In congress would have another object to point to, to show that we can depend on the volunteers In an emergency. We can after we have lost 73 per cent to teach the remaining 25 per "tent, how to fight. A strong lesson la needed. Japan or Germany would serve preferably the former, because of her geographical sit uation. They are quite capable of at tacking us, with their perfect preparedness, whenever ready. We have spent ten days In turmoil gathering a handful of men In Texas. Ultimately we should triumph, but the ultimate cost would be appalling. It would be much cheaper, even In money, let alone lives, to treble our force, than to take such a lesson, considering the re sultant pension rolls alone." Officers cannot be quoted for publica tion where criticism of superiors Is In volved, .or to be Inferred, but the man who made tjhe foregoing statement has a repu tatlon which extends beyond the army.
