A Gentlem'n Frem Ganada, Bn Ronte San Francisco, "aken in at Omaba, 10 Budden and Unexpected Disappear ance of Ool. Wood, the Great Dime Museum Man—A Nchemer From 1he Ola House, There was trouble at the dime mnsoum yesterday and soveral pariles coald have been seen standing aroand the place looking blue, and multsering to them- selves words of vengeauce against the man whose preszncs they very much de- sired at that time. But he had quietly takon his bazgsgo and gone to parts un- known. Sonday morning Col. Wood, proprietor and managor of the amusement establlshment ¢n Douglas street, that bears his name, bld adieu to Omaha and went to look for a more congenial local- fty in which to dwell. It scems that he forgot to tell efther his em p'oyes, aesoclates, or friends that he was goiag to lesvo thom, Lence the mournful «xpressions of regrot, heard from miny lips yesterday. These re- grets, howaver, are not a0 much for the doub’y colonel himsslf ae they are for the little money obligatfons he left un- attended to. But matters are in such shaps thouzh that not mcra than one or two men will suffer much. Some four or five weeks ago there came to Omaba a geutleman, by the name of J. J. Mid dleton, who was enroute from Canada to San Francisco, but by reason of a mes- sayo that he received from home on his arrival here ralating to matters of busi- ness he dec'ded to stopaud remain in this ci'y a few dsys. While wandoring about luoktog at the sights Mr. Middle- ton's eycs h.ppened 1o carch ontc a little sigu at the diwe mazeam which read: “Wanted—A person compstent to koep books, who ocan loan, as maater, $1,000.” Thinking he might strike a bonanza and make & “‘spec” whilo here, Mr. Mid dleton sougit en interview with Col, Wood, and tho result was that he soon put un §500 and was given a job at $100 per month as tlcket seller in the box ottice. Ma tirs moved along nlealy, and the 8nooch colunel was flush, The man from Canala wes to receive as secarity for his 500 4 mortgage on some property fu the litle villags of Cassen, Wis. At first it wae sgreed that he shou'd put ap $1 000, but a3 the eecurity to the firet losn seemed rather slow in coming, ho surmized that all was not right #nd refused to give out tue balance. lo the mesin'ime it seems that the coionel had also borrowed $500 from his bill poster, and whea the timo camo o pay that bick he could mnot do it. Laav Taeaday vight the bill poster had him pat under arrest and guarded at his own house all nignt. The nextmora- fng they weut to the musenm, and again an effort was made to gat the sccond $5 oat ¢f Me. Middloton. By th!s tims, however, the latter gentlemsn had be- come thoroughly convineed that he was beiug played for a eacker, and he would do notlirg. Belog in the box office three weeks ho kuew that there was onough movey com'ng in to pay all ex- panece, but from tome mysterious cavss it didu’t go for that purposs, and new dabts were being created every day. Fuaally, however, on the colonel agrve- Iny to render a statement of the liabil- Hties and turning it over {to Me. Middluton, the and another gonilewan why has buen connected with | th) tirm proposed to take it off of hws hauds and assume all the debts. The s'atement was rendsred and the debls assumed, but sloce being gone it hem bson discovered that the colonels siate- meut is & very crooked one. To cover up tho fact that he has been getbng nearly everything on credlt aud pocke- ing lo's of money, many d=bts wers not turned in at all, and others at much less than the actual amounts, Buat the re ductive sign cost the genlemsn from Canrda $500 to resd it. Hn, however, 1s hanpy to know ‘ha' it dida’t cost him what it called for, $1,0C0. The abssonding colonel’s wheresbonts fanot known to any person in Omnha, bu he kad a Jurge time whaila hare, snd cir- rled away plonty of money with him, No longer ago than Saturday he lead eome of the city papera to believa iliat he had made arrangenen s to give Omaha a grand place of amusement, and would spend at lsast §100,000 to balld 1t. — Every lady uses Pozzo medloated complexion powder.
