The Tools With Him—Reasons to Sus- pectHe Knows About Omaha Burglaries, Since the attempt made to erack the safe inthe office of Oaptan Brown, the well-known Fitth street coal dealer, the polico have kept their eyes wide open and not in vain. A young man has been gobbled up, and safely bagged, around whom cvi- dence is accumulating so rapidly that there seems but little doubt but that the right capture has been made. Ho gives his name as Eddie Hardin, though he says he does not object to being called by any name with which the police may christen him, as any name would to his ears be as sweet. He gives a vory unsatisfactory ac- count of his comings and goings, but claims to hail from Missouri. A search of his person revealed no wealth or valuables, but there were found upon him some drills and a tin tube for filling powder into a safe. Some pow- der was also found upon him. 1t appears that ho gained an entrance into the coal office by brenking a small bit out of one of the window panes and slipping back the bolt. Hedrilled a hole through the outer plate of tho safe, and thon his drills being too short to reach tho in- ner plate, ho abandoned tho task tom- worarily to procure some larger drills, Whether he was frightened away on his return, or whether he conciuded to try some new field of plunder, is uncertain. He will probably have his o camina- tion this afternoon, by which time it in oxpected that evidence will bo gath- ered which will foster him sccurely. The only papers found upon him were some littlo scraps bearing pro- scriptions and the addresses of various —Peter Telander had his heart saddened Sunday afternoon Ly missing i roll, while at the Transfer depot.

Hess' Acme Opera Company at Do- haney's. Last evening thero was a zood sized audience at Dohanoy's opera houee to greet Hess' Acme opera com- pany, which appeared in $‘Ouvette.” 'Chis bit of comic opera has many features of the popular tinge which please the masses much better than “‘Mascotte,” though the latter has reully the finer and higher oclass of music and more difficult of rendition. 1t was wise to choose ‘‘Olivette” for the entertainment last evening, as its fund of mirth and catohing airs touched the popular heart and the listoners were very enthusiastic. The costumes were brilliant and chorus and orchestra work was oxcellent, The fun centored of course about the comedy of orrors canso | by Honry Peakes as Capt. de Merrimac and Murk Smith as Valentine, the latter appeaving as such a clever imitator ot the former as to give rise to all sorts of comical situations because of the other characters mistaking their iden- tity. The other incidonts revolved about these musical dromios, #o that much real mirth was added to much real music, making tho entertainment a highly enjoyable one. .

An Audaclous Imposter, Ccunein Buvvrs, January 16, To the Editor of The Omaha Boe, David McOreary, of this city, has reported that you offered him one hundred and twenty-five dollars (8125) for two lettersin hispossession. I would like to say this much: I suppose you will print what you like, but if you do you are helping to blacken the name of a woman who before God is as pure as the purest, the only reason being becauso she re- fuses to live with a gambler and a drunkard. Too much of a coward to war upon his own sex, he turns upon a defenseloss woman, and that woman the one whom he ought to shield from everything. For your mother s and your sister'y sake, and for your wife's sake it y*:mvs one, I ask you not to publish t will not do you any good but will, for all time, hurt the name of one of their own sex, aud you will greatly oblige A Woman P. 8. 1 would further add that you or he can make nothing out of the letter further than to make # talk and dr%:ur name through your paper, w editor of Tur Bak knows nothing about the matter referred to above. Certainly usither ho nor any of his suthorized agents have ever offered money to Mr, McCreary for lettors in his posseseion: We do not know Mecm? and have nover heard of the man before. If Mr, McCroary states that attompts have boen made to purchase any docwments in his pos session for Tur Lee he lics, Tuk Bik is not engaged in that kind « business, purticularly when they relate ouly to personal and domestic, d/for ences which concern no one but the partios implicated.

Wil- #on, on being nominatea for senator last Tucsday night: After the applause had subsided Mr. Wilson begun by saying that sure- ly the cancus would not expect a lengthy speech from him at that hour; he did not feel that he could make n lengthy sp . He had not heard definitery the result beyond the that he had been nowinated by a jo cancus of the republicans of the « eral assembly for the I office ot United States Senator. He inferred that this had been done with unanimity. Hecould only say that this result of the can- vass was to him a source of pride. He was glad that the caucus had resulted as it had, and that the result has been one that has put away any disturb- ances or the chances of any divisions in the great party of the state [ap plause], and that it put him in har- mony and accord with every member of the party in thestate. [Applause.] He did not wish to stand, nor would he stand, as the representative of one faction in this state or this nation. [Applause.] No man could be more than his pacty. No man that exists has in this nation done enough, nor can ho do enough, to placo him higher than the organization to which he belonged [applause], and whenever, or wherever, it occurs that some one man thinks that he is greater than his party, that man must learn that he and not the prin- ciples of that party must go down. So soon should he learn that the party and not he was supe: [Ap- plause.] And now that this action of the caucus was opening wide the door to him_for grand opportunities in public life, he hoped 1n the pursuance of tho pathway of that public life that he would not do anything to disgrace or causo regret among any of those who at this same time had placed him inthe way of these opportunitics From the time of the formation of the republican party he could claim that he had worked faithfully for the groat party of human liberty. He could see in the prospect mow opened to him somcthing th ought to bo sufficient for any ambition. He would accept one of the mottoos of the great republic - accept it and put 1t far and high be- fore him in the line of his duty. *‘In God we trust.” [Applause.] He should endeavor in the discharge of his duty to carry to it his conscience as woll as what ability it had pleased God to give him. [Applause.] The members of the caucus, aud” those whom they represented, know well the recent (uestions on which he had expressed himself, and he wished to say he gave them utterance in advance to allow the people to know what wore his views, and what would he his chart and cuido if they saw fit, to choose him to the office of United States senator. [Applause.] To his expression of opinion on economic questions, and in relation to corpora- tions and corparate powers, he still adhered and would adhere. [Ap- plauge] He would not place a huavy hand on any interest in the nation, but as to the uttorgnees of these sen- timents - which some suggested as un- wiso and gome as given for effoct—he would say that every word and every utterance formed a part of that chart which should gmde him in his duties in the future, in tho duties of that of fice to which the action of this cancus was the oponing of the door, He stood on every republican platform that had ever been adopted, and he stood on the republican platform now, and its principles would he part of his chart [applause] to all would know now how to map out his future action. He again thanked the ciucus for the honor conferred, and he realized the ibility; he liked the weight of ty; and when the duties of the office for which he had just ominated should become “his he would devote his entire timo to their discharge. His whole service would be given to the state, During those six yeirs, if life bo l]mn-d, he would attend as closely to the duties of the senatorial oftice as ho had attended to his own business, From his heart he appreciated highly and was profoundly grateful fo he honor now conferred, and he would soek to prove himsclf worthy of (he trusts thus to be imposed, |Contin- ued and loud applause, | e Affleck's Lecture. the Broadway Methodist church to morrow evening on “‘Lost for Want of a Word."

B, Furay was in the city yesterday and was col- lecting points regarding a change of location for the postoffice, the quarters for which are now so and so far from being in keeping with the business of the city. Several buildings are baing considered with a view of leasing some one of them. It is int‘mated that in case no suitable building can be obtained on satisfac- tory terms, that the present building, or at its main floor will be de- voted entirely to postoftice business, The ercetion of a building by tho gov- isnot out of the range of es* In fact, all these phases of the question is under active con- sideration, and some recommendation will be made in a fow days. Tt1s also said to be in’ the planning that this city 18 to have at an early date a free delivery wystem by car- viers.
