The devise needs to be seen and examined to gain a knowledge of all its poiuts of merit, but it is 1n brief a complete abdominal wall, affording a support not to be gained by any other truss thus far produced. e J.

A large number of thoss who are con- tinually wondering that inthis enlight- ened age anybody can be confidenced, were themselves victimized by an old trick. In the afternoon two pert young men stationed themselves on Broadway, one at the corner of Main street the other at Bryant. They commenced selling gilt chains at §1 each, and then returning 2 in money to those who purchased chalns. The excited crowd went on buying the littering jewelry, and after returning ouble the money to a good many, the fellows kept on selling, offer- ing watches and chains for $10, the buyers expecting to get $20 back. After gathering in several hundred dol- lars the fellows concluded that the re- turns were all in. They quickly drove off, caught the dummy’ train. and are doubtless now in Omaha, enjoying their easily earned money, shal public is For Sale, Two drug stores in central Nebraska. Good thriving towns.

Gilmore was rowing the boat and John Bohn sat on the bank smoking, when a constuble ar- rested the party for violating the Sunday law. They went to Crescent and took & change of venue from Justice Dunkle to Justice Hough, who allowed the trio to go on their own recognizance to appear Tuesday of next week for a hearing. The affair was good natured in all its details and the trio were not locked up, but treated courteously. e o SIS Latest improved gasoline stoves at N. 504 Main street. W. A. Wood.

Are the Knights of Labor Barred From the Nortawestern Round House. THE OGDEN HOUSE TROUBLE. How This County Voted on Saloons Thirty Years Ago—Why 1is the Record Mutilated?—Blufts Sportsmen Arrested. The Knights Investigating. Some stir is caused among the Knights of Labor concerning the management of the Chicago & Northwestern round house, of which Wilham Hutchinson is the foreman. Some time ago Hutchin- son discharged two men, und it secms that this was very displeasing to the order. The local ussembly No. 1,688 had a committee appointed, who examined mnto the claims of these two men, and waited upon Mr. Hutchinson and ee- manded, their renstutement. Hutchin- son insisted that he discharged them for good and suflicient cause, and refused to re-employ them. John S. B, Coggeshall was the chief one of this ¢ nittee, and vas not content to let the matter rest It was insisted that these men :en discharged because they were Knights of Labc as claimed that Hutchinson had issued an _order that none of his men could belong to that order. The complainants further sought to get even with Hutchinson for his alléged unreasonable prejudice ngair.st the ~order, and unfair discrimination against its members. They charged that Hutehison had been using material belonging to the company for his own private purposes. They claimed in thig he had been wronging the company, and thut this should cause his discharge. "These complaints were sent up to the master workman of the Kughts of Labor of the state, Mr. Wheat, and he in turn notified the master mechanic of the rail- way company, Mr. Quail. There has beén consideruble correspondence on the subject, and an_arrangement has been made by which Mr. Wheat and Mr. Quail to be here to-day to examine into the case. The knights have made the direct charge against Hutchinson that he discharged the two men, James Campbell and Otto Strausser, simply be- cause they were Knights of Labor, and that he nad issued an order against the employment of an knights. These charges they wiil be called on [ substun- tiate by evidence at the examination to- day. As tothe charge that Hutchinson has been appropriating material belong- ing to the company, that is a matter be- tween Mr. Hutchison and the company which employs him, and it will be settled without any interference on the part of the knights, as that question does not concern them directly. The main charge, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY., JUNE 14, 1887, for some purpose, and what purpose is not known. Noone about the county offices seems able to give any informa tion throwing &light upon this strange mutilation of the records concerning so important a matter as the suloon question has been for the past thirty years. e - Municipal Solons. The city council met last night with all except Alderman Metcalf present. There were present a large number of citizens. The reports of the city oflicers were read and placed on file. Petition protesting against grading on avenue A, referred. The contract for hose for the fire department was referred back to the committee. The hose to be aelivered in August next and payable in April 1888, Mr. Keller, the chairman of the fire com- dn’t see any reason why the act wouldn't be dated December 1 as 1t was next. Rather a queer way todo business to aate ahead. Petition for reduction of assessment by J. Pominy, referred. The matter of water ways on Blnfls was referred. str Petition for grade of Avenue F, re- ferred. Petition for grade on Fletcher avenue, referred. Betition of Joseph Seifer for $100 dam- ages to property on Indian cres conpernqu Mr. Hutchinson's prejudice against the order, is a serious one, and one which does concern them greatly. Mr. Hutchinson denies in every partic- ular the causes of complaint. He is pre- pared toshow the reason why he dis- charged the two men, and that they gave good cause for their discharge. He says that he did not even know that they both belonged to the order, and that this did not enter intu the action at all. He had never issued any order against the Knights, neyer asked ‘men_whether they belonged or not, and 1in fact hired one man to take the place of one of those dis- charged, He did not ask this man whether he was a knight or not, but he noticed a badge upon his vest which in- dicated that he wasa knight. He is quite confident that he will be able to convince Master Workmau Wheat that there is no cause for complaint, and that no injustice has been done members of the order. As to the charges axainst him personally, as to his using the company’s materials, his superior, Master Mechanic Quail, is already familiar with all the details of the circumstances which give rise to this charge, Mr. Hub Hutchinson says there is nothing to his feature of the case and that it is ssmply sprung to make him trouble if possible. ‘The local assembly having called the attentlon of the siate organization to thls case, and having assured State Mas- ter Workman Wheat that there 1s a solid foundation of truth under it, the in vesti- gation is ordered. Its result will prob- ably be known to-morrow. If it appears that Hutchinson is as bitterly prejudiced against the order as to leaa him to such acts of injustice as are charged, he cer- tainly should be rewnovedto give place to some one who has more justice and ]udf- ment. If, on the other hand, it should appear that this trouble is all caused by the complamts of men who were right- fully discharged by Hutchinson,then those who have urged the investigation will find the climate a little warm, as Master Workman Wheat declare$ that he will make it interesting for somebody if he has been called on to make a fool’s er- rand by the misrepresentation of any- body. ~ The two men who were ais charged are naturally much interested, for to a certain extent their character is involved, their brother knights claiming that they are worthy men, who never fiwe any occasion for dismissal, while utchinson claims that they neglected duty, and had other faults which made their discharge necessary to &rotecl the interests of the company. heat says 1n a letter that *9f these men are the kind of men represented by Hutchinson, they are not only unfit to be in the com- pany’s employ, but totally unfit to be members of the order I reprcsent.” -~ Linense Thirty Years Ago. Aunteresting bit of history was picked up by the Bke yesterday in a hunt through some of the dusty, musty records of the county. The fly-leaf of history is from the records of thirty years ago and shows how the county at that time came to vote on the question of licensing sa- loons and how the votestood. The light- ness of the vote indicates what great changes in population have been made in thirty years. The record is an inter- esting one, and is as follows: In the matter of the petition of Frank Street et al to supmit to the vote of the elec- tors of Pottawattamie county, lowa, whether license shall ba granted to sell liquors in said county. Now on this 10th of September, 1857, comes the above petition to be voted on the second Tuesday in October next, whether license shall be granted to sell liquor in sald county, it appearing that an act had been passed by thio general assembly of the state of Towa, approved January 29, 1857, sald act providing tgn the county,upon the petition of oue hun- dred of the lh‘fill voters shall order a vote to be taken upon the question of licensing the sale of spintuous or vinous liquors. Whereas, such a petition has been presented;to me as county judge, I hereby order s vote to be taken at the election on the second Tuesday in Octo- ber next, D. 8. NYE, County Judge.

The mysterious part of this bit of docu- mentary history is that the words which are given above in brackets have been stricken out on the record by a pen being drawn throux\l:ilhem in sl sorts of criss- Cross wWays. hen, how and why this was done is & mystery, which no one seems uble to solve. It seems that the erasure could not bave been wade except Resolution ordering sewer built on Avenue A from KEighth to Thirtecnth streets was adopted. Resolution ordering I;rmling on Glen avenue and a portion of Tenth street was adopted. Resolution allowing the Lake Manawa railway to lay temporary tracks from Ninth street and Ninth avenue to the city limits. Mr. George F. Wright stated that Mr. Graves wanted to begin laying the motor line tracks this weck, and 1f the line could run straight down temporarily, to the a Ninth street nstead of making the turns ated union depot, it would le to Mr. Grave !l asked in tha e the street be widened. Mr. Wells moved the adoption and Alderman Lacy seconded it Adopted unanimously. A proposition from "Milwaukee for printing bonds was referred. The “electric light ordinance was re- ported with amendments and referred back to the committee. The bids for grading different streets were opened and referred. ————— The Sheriff Leaves the Ogden. There was a little change in the situa- tion at the Ogden yesterday. The sheriff has been in charge of the furniture, Mr. Stout having attached under s land- lord’s writ. J. T. Baldwin, Mr. Silsbee and Colonel Sapp claimed to have an in- terest in the furniture, the first two named having mortgages upon the furni- ture, and Colonel Sapp having in the house some furniture of his own, some of which was bought from Mr. Niman about the 1st of June, just before Niman's departure. ‘I'hese gentlemen insisted that Mr. Stout should give an indemnifying bond, and Stout refused to do so, as he did not re- cognize these claims upon the furniture. As he would give no such bond, the sheriff stepped outgpnd left Mr. Stout in possession of the Nouse and the furniture, just as be- fore the writ of attachment under the landlord’s lien had been served. It thus leaves these claimants a free chance to seek to take the furniture out of the hotel, by somo process of law, if they feel 8o inclined. Stout assumes posses- sion and control of the property under the landlord’s lien, and the sheriff and his ?osse who have been on guard at the hotel left it yesterday afternoon. 1t is not known what the next step will be. ‘I'he hotel 1s closed to the traveling publie, and there will be no resumption of business until the litigation isi differ- ent shape and the question of the lease to Niman and the title to the furniture is settled in some way. b A Boy Choir. Those of our citizens who have ne®er heard or seen a choir composed entirely of boys, will have an opportunity of hearmg the well known choir of All Saints Episcopal church, Omaha, on next Thursday evening in St. Paul's charch. Through the kindness of one of the members of the vestry who pays the expenses of the choir, "the rector has secured the boys for an evening of sacred music. They will enter the church in full robes singing a proces- sional, leaving in the same manner. Mr. Will T, Taber, the Omaha_organist, has been engaged to play several brifliant selections on the organ, and Mr., Brig- ham, the well known tenor, will sing several solos. An opportunity will be given to hear the grand organ At its best and those who were not able to attend the opening recital will now have even a better opportunity, as Mr. Taber is said to be one of the best organists in the west.

Crll and secure bargains. e Pride in Screen Doors, “‘Have you noticed any of the new screen doors this season?’ asked a car- penter yesterday. ‘‘This year takes the cake over all former years,” he continued. “The people of Council Bluffs are in no wise backward about putting money into screen doors. I've made the highest priced doors this year | ever did, and orders for still tiner doors are coming in. They all seem to be trying to get a screen door that will outdo their neighbor. That's what we like to see. It helps us along a hittle and next winter, if the rage continues, I hope to be able to warm my shins beside a hard coal stove, even 1f hard coal is $9.50 a ton now.” e Commencing Sundav, June 12, the morning train for Sioux City via the Sioux City & Pacific ruilroad will depart daily from Broadway depot at 0:45 a. m. arriving at Sioux C"fi at 1:35 p. m., and the evening train will arrive at6:50 p. m., instead of 8:50 p. m. as heretofore, Elk- horn Valley trains will depart at 7:10 a. m. and arrive at 8:50 p. m. — The Affidavit Makers. The contest is still going on over the two informers, who have filed affidavits against the Council Bluffs saloons. At- torneys Sims and Haldene went over to Omaha yesterday to argue the habeas corpus case. The arguments were not completed and another trip across the river will be taken to-day to finish them.
