A CHECK IN HIS CAREER. Budden Disappearance of a Olerk ‘Who Had 8tood Well. HE HAD SOME PAPER CASHED. The Method By Which He Did This Has Been Called Into Serious Question By His Employers. { Hayes Made a Mistake. ‘The fact became known yesterday that E. J. Hayes,cashier and bookkeeper for the Crane manvfacturing company, suddenly disap- peared Tuesday morning and has not since been heard of. Discrepancies in some of his financial transactions, are said to have been the direct cause of his unaccounted absence, and it is_thought his accounts are several hundred dollars short, On Monday, Manager Lally had his attention called to a check for something like $100, th had oeen cashed for Crane Bros. on Ha; endorsement at the Nebraska National bank | and repudiated it on the ground that Mr. | Hayes had no authority to endorse cheeks. | Several months ago, it seems, Hayes was empowered to do this, but Mr. Lally says that the authority has been recently’ taken from him, { The bank people claim that they had not | been given any notice to that effect and cashed the check without question, as they had done many times before. The firm has no knowledge yet as to how much money the young man ob- tained in this way. it is supposed he had checks cashed at several of the banks. When the one in question came up and was disputed, Hayes undoubtedly concluded that his time for disappearing had come. He went to the ofice Tucsday morning, worked half the forenoon, put on his coat and hat, walked out, and that is the last any- one in Omaha remembers of having seen him. He formerly resided at 514 North Six- teenth strect. Mr. Lally, manager of the Crane Bros Manufacturing company, said last night thav yes had never been given authority to en- dorse checks in the name of the company. While they have always done, their banking with the Merchants National, Hayes had taken these checks to the Nebraska National, krowing very weil that they would not be cashed at the bank at which the compan transacted its business. Mr, Lally said that he was absent, being in Chicago, when Huyes had the check cashed, but that since the denouement he had learned that some of the officials of the Ne- braska National questioned the validity of the check and sent over to the com ofice and made Hayes refund the money. The first intimation Mr. Lally roceivea of any irregularity, was through Cashier Woods of the Merchant's National who had heard of the affair. Mr. Woods sent a messenger to Crane Bros'. office requesting Mr. Lally to call at the bank. Hayes received the mes- sage and delivered it to Mr. Lall; When Mr. Lally returned, H: who evidently had suspected that his misbehavior had been discovered, had disappeared and hasn't been seen since by his former employer or about the streets. Mr. Lally says that he does not think the company will lose any money by Hayes' de- falcation, as he is of the opinion that he can hold the bank for the amount of the check. An effort will be made to find the delinquent one and bring him to justice. Hayes, before he became connected with Crane Bros., was employed at the Nebraska National bank. He has a mother, sister and brotlier residing in the city, who feel the disgrace of their son and brother keenly. Mr. Lally said that he had always consid- ered layes an exemplary young maun, but that since his disappearance he has learned that he was in the habit of spending money luvishly and had habits inconsistent with a good moral character. A reporter called on Mr. Henry Yates, president of the Nebraska National, and that entleman said he believed the trouble would o straightened out satisfactory to every- body. is theory of the affair is that Hayes has gone on a spree, and wnen he gets sober will return. A rumor to the effect that Mr. Richardson, teller of the bank, had been dis- toharged for accepting and cashing the pro- ested check is without foundation. Within two hours after taking it he went to Hayes and got the money back. The check called for sumething like $i50, instead of §100, as first® reported, and when Richardson de- manded the return of the cash from Hayes he had then spent $100 and was compelled to Pborrow that amount from his brother in order to make the account good. —_— Swept by the Tide of Popularity 'To the topmost pinnacle of success.

The retail butchers’ union of Omaha held | its annual meeting last night in Metz hall, on South Tenth strect. The only business of importance transacted was the reception of bids for the furaishing of ice for the coming summer, and the lowest bidder got the con- tract. Just who he or the firm was could not be learned, It is believed, however, that the bid was pretty low, otherwise figures and the name of the dealer would have been given out. Itwas mumnu\u‘\; stated that the dealers will furnish the butchers with frozen chunks of water at a lower rate than ever bofore. The following officers of the union were elected for the ensuing year: Bensol hrendcnt; George W. Kurz, vice president . H. Ford, secrotary; William Kalbe, treasurer; K. Valkmeier, John Beischlag snd Samuel Dreifus trustees. A New Train. The connecting link between Ne- braska and Kansas has just been placed in service by the Union Pacific railway. This train leaves Council Bluffs daily at 4:45a. m.; leaves Omaha at 5:05 a. m., _and runs through without change to Manbattan, Kan., making direct con- nectious there with the Kansas division of the Union Pacific railway for all inws in Kansas and Colorado west- hound, and for Topeka, Lawrence, Kun- sas City and points east und south via Kansas City. Returning, train leaves Manhattan at 2:25 p. w.; arriving at Beatrice at 6:25 p. m., Lincoln at 7:50 Pp. ., and Omaha at 11:20 p. m., Coun- cil Bluffs 11:40 p. m., making direoct conneetion with Kunsas division trains from Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka and the cast, and from Denver, Salina, Abeline and all points west, enabling rmngan to visit the prlnc(pal points n Kansas and Nebraska in the shortest possible time. These trains have first- class equipment, consisting of smoking ears and first-class day coaches of the latest pattern. The new train will fill @ loug felt want, and is bound to be popular, | —— Brought From Baltimore. The remaius of Samuel P. Martin, the Bouth Omaha man who died from asphyxia- tion at & hotel in Baltimore a few days ago, were received st Drexel & Maul's under- taking establishment yesterday. The body ‘will be buried Sunday afternoon at Bellevue. . Martin was forty-seven years of 3 E:wnnn Washington w n{sud lhu.fiv sugural proceedings.

For some time past the Union Pacific has been taking steps toward the construction of aunion depot in Omaha . Plans and profiles have repeatedly been drawn for this, thus far, mythical structure, but, on each occasion, have the hopes of the projectors been blasted. However, that a movement toward a depot, of which some- thing may be expected, is now progressing, is admitted, but aside from the project on paper, nothing has as yet been consummated. For the past five months the Burlington and the Union Pacific have been endeavor- ing to agree upon a plan for a union depot at this place. Owing to the existing circum- stances considerable preliminary work had to be done before any definite movement could be made. One of the most important of the preliminary ar- rangements was the disposition of the earnings, a large percentago of which would arise from the crossing of the Union Pacifie bridge by trains on the lowa side. The Bur. lington not only wantedto sccure a_part of the income from the depot proper, but also demanded that a certain percentage of the other be granted. After a thorough consid- eration, it 18 stated that the Union Pacific agreed to the Burlington's demand. Both companies then drafted play for depot, estimating the cost of the building an grounds at $1,500,000. The site for the build- ing iu both instances was the ground now occupied by the passenger depots of the Union _ Pacific and Burlington _on South Tenth street. The Union Pa- cific plans provide for a building on the site of the present depotof that company, with a ground surface of 305 feet in lenzth, east and west, and 83 feet wide, north dnd south. The shed which is now being used is a part of the new structure, but the building proper is to be entircly new, of brick with stone facing, and to be of gothic designs with twenty-eight-foot posts, making it the height of the average four-story building. It will also be adorned with a tower which will extend thirty feet above the roof. In connection with this the upper portion of the building is assigned to oftices, and the lower portion will be used as ticket office, waiting-rooms, baggage rooms and express depot. As an avbproach, a viaduct over the Tenth street yards 1s to be built, which be used for vehicles and pedestrians, and v be on a level with its second story. The cos of this feature is to be defrayed by the city of Omaha. The Union Pacifiz plans also provide for an entry and delivery of all pas- sengers and baggage on the north side of the building. The Burlington has a set of plans which closely conform with that of the Unior Pa- cific aside from the main entrance and de- livery being on the south side. The shed also reversed and placed on the south side ar . on the further sideof the latter there is provided for the construction of a baggage depart- ment_twenty feet in width and 38 feet in length. In both instances, the amount in- volved is$1,500,000. As yet neither plan has been docided upon. At present the propositions are in the hands of President Adams of the Union Pacific and President Perkins of the Buriington and upon the decision and agreement of these idividuals hinges the commencement of the work. The officials of the respective roads were questioned this morning concerning the mat- ter and admitted that the above was under consideration by the presidents and that in all probability the Union Pacific plan would be adopted. President Adams will submit the proposed project at the meeting of the di- s to be held in Boston April 24, and at ich time a joint conference between the directorates of both roads on this matter will be had. Independent lines, that is, the lowa roads which fail to enter_into the deal, will be allowed to cross the Union Pacific bridge and enter the union depot by paying a pro rata rate to be agreed upon jointly by the roads interested in the building. Following up this project the Union Pacific will convert its ground on Tenth street into passenger yards, and the freight depot wiil be located at the foot of Jackson street. An inbound freight yard is also to be established at Summt. In connection with its freight traffic, a rumor is in circulation to the effect that another bridge is to be constructed for the use of freight trains only, and that this will span the river from the foot of Jackson street. These arrangements provide for the maintenance of the transfer and freight yards at Council Bluffs as’at present, and the passengder service will be conducted at the Bluffs, but upon a minor scale. The most important feature of the move- ment aside from the building of its depot 18 that Omaha will be made the terminal point of the Union Pa- cific and also of all the lowa lines on the west which wiil make Omahu a port of entry and delivery which, it is said, will be a great auxiliary to the commercial resources of this city. The cawsying out of this prdject awaits the action of the directorates of both the Burhington and Union Pacific and an official of the latter who is in a position to know what he 1s saying states that in all probability an argument will be reached and that the long desired structure will be con- structed; also that none but railway capital will be invested in the building. LOCAL TRAIN SERVICE. Iowa Lines Cut Off 150,000 Miles of Service Per Month. It isstated that the Iowa lines have de- tided to counteract. the work of the railway commission of that state and that, out of the numerous local trains that were in service up to a short time ago, not one is being run at the present time—all the tratc being han- dled by the mainline trains. A report re- ceived in Omaha yesterday from Vice Chair- man Dauiels of the Central Traflic associaticn, shows that the reduction in train seryice 1n this way will foot up 150,000 per month, which, at a low estimate, results in the say- ing of about $30,000 per montn to tha Iowa lines. As’ regards the local train service of Ne- braska, the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley'and the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapo- Lis & Omaha have taken the only steps, it is said, in reducing their local train service. In th instances the work has reverted to the through or main line trains. ‘The officials of the Iowa lines have decided that a reduction in rates can only be met by a corre: gondin! reduction in accommoda- tions to the public. It is rumored that the Milwaukee road is figuring on taking off its trains to a large extent on the line between Mason City, Ia, and Austin, Minn, abandonment of trains both in Iowa and Nebraska has been the cause of more or less complaints aud inland towns are seriously affected it is claimed for the reason that transportation facilities are largely reduced, nnld nbl. certain points and certain periods un- relable. Weighing System Abandoned. The weighing of live stock at Omaha and South - Omaha which was suspended about four weeks ago has been abindoned, and the roads have resorted permanently to the haundling of live stock in car lots. It was thought that the railway commission of Kan- sas would rescind its action in ordering the welghing system in that state abolished, but this having failed the roads to-day decided to abandon the weighing system at these two points and also at Nobraska City, Platts mouth and all local points west of the Mis- souri river, A Committee of Inspection. The oflicials of the Union Pacific yesterday received notification to the effect thaton April 6, the special senatorial committee on Pacific railway legislation would meet at Chicago on April 8, the committee would arrive in Omahg, and from here an lugo— 'a- tion of the nion and Central ciic system will be made. The committee will spend six weeks look- ing into certain matters connected with two roads. It is stated that this was brought about through the discussion of the merits and demerits of the Outhwaite funding bill. Conservative thinkers are of the opinion that the committee will either recommend the suu‘- of the bill referred to, or the eclaration of insolvency and the int- ment of & receiver. It is likely that i deut Adams will accompany the committee o its tour of inspection. Ralilroad Notes.

O'Hearne, general foreman of the motive power department of the Union Pa- cific, tendered his resignation yeeterday 10 take effect the first of April. o imme- diate cause of the resignation was the re. vival of an old feud between him and Draughtsman Wilson. While Mr, Hack- ney held the ofce, Superintendent O'Hearne and Wilson indulged in several per- sonal tilts, in which, it is claimed, Wilson al ways came out second best, because Hack- ney, knowing O'Hearne’s ability as a ma- chinist, had full confidence in him, and in that confidence he was never disappointed. As s00n as Hackney was displaced by Cush- ing, Wilson, it is said, determined to take the scalp of his enemy, and has succeeded in driving him from the shops, ‘Jack" O'Hearne, as he is familiarly called by the railroad boys, was one of a dozen machinists who came from the Fort Scott & Gulf_road® to Omaba over ten years ago. Every one was a master of the trade, and every one of them soon sccured responsible positions on the Union Pacific and other roads. They worked together in the shops for a time, and by their encrgy and skill demonstrated that locomotives could be built in the shops for what they cost in the east, and gave better service to the company. O'Hearno _succeeded John Bay s foroman of the machine shop, and made every workman a strong friend, and every acquaintance an admirer, The rail- road boys will lose in him_ an unwavering friend, who was ever ready to hear their complaints and rectify wrongs; and the com- pany will lose a mechanic of uncommon abil- ity and industry. AN OPEN QUESTION. Is Harrison a Descendant of Poca- hontas? 1t is popularly believed that Presi- dent Harrison is descended from Poca- hontas and from the parliamentary soldier and regicide General Thomas Harrison, who was executed in 1660, Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatan, manifested a friendliness for the early white settlers of Virginia when she was but a girl. The story of how she saved the life of Captain John Smith, who had been capturea and condemned to death by her father—is well known to all acquainted with the early history of America. Her subsequent marriage with John Rolfe, an Englishman—her removal to England where ason was born, from whom numerous wealthy families of Virginia claim descent— is the basis of the opinion that Presi. dent Harrison is one of her descend- ants. The name of Harrison is already in- delipbly written upon the pagesof Amer- fean history, for General William Hen- ry Harrison—the ninth president of the United States—was the grandfather of General Ben. Harrison. The inauguration of another member of the Harrison family is but another proof of the disposition of the public to return toa healthy administration of public affairs so characteristic of earlier years. A similar desire has been man- ifested for a revival of early customs in various ways, of which mention can be EaaeTortha prevailing demand for those old time preparations which were so successfully etaployed in the pre- vention and cure of the 1lls which fre- quented the early log cabin homes. After much inquiry a noted manu- facturer has procured the original methods used in their prc‘u\rution and again under the name of Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies, the public is pos- sessed of those well-known preparations for the cure of coughs, colds. consump- tion in its early stages, blood disorders, catarrh, dyspesia, debility, and other common disorders. Notwithstanding the large amount of attention which the manufacture of Warner’s Safe Cure demands—its well- known reputation as the only remedy for the prevention and cure of kidney diseases being world wide—the manu- facturer is resolved to push the merit of Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla to the front because of its splendid blood purifying properties and great value as a household remedy. OUTS1IDE COUNSEL. ‘Will It Be Used in the Prosecution of Miss Beechler ? The prospects are very favorable for Elizabeth Beechler, the fair slayer of Harry King, being put on trial one week from next Monday. The lawyers think they will be ready to proceed with the case by that time. The woman has repeatedly expressed her anxiety to have the matter over, that she may know her fate as soon as possible. The life in jail and its attendant expectations as to the result are becoming irksome and causing the fair prisoner to give evidence of failure both in body and spirits. It is difficult to predict just what course will be pursued in the trial until Henry King, sr., father of the slain man, decides whether he will personally assist the state by employing additional counsel for the prosecution. On his action hinges the em- ployment of a speciul attorney to assist County Attorney Mahoney. 1t is understood that, within the past month, Mr. King en- tertained serious doubts as to whether he would do more than merely furnish the state with such information and evidence as it might require of him, though he is to definitely determine - his course some time this week. Since the day of her ar- raignment, which was the first time sinc committing the crime, that she had beet brought into the preseuce of a crowd, Miss Beechler has been more eager than she was before to face the prosecution and have her story told to the court. e Claimed by Two Parties. Little Fred Hoffman has been returned to the Clarkson Memorial hospital oblivious of the legal contest for his possession. Freddie is suffering with hip disease, and since the death of his mother has been cared for by his grandmother, Mrs. Brandt. Later his father had him brought to the Clarkson Memorial hospital for treatment. Recently the irindmol er was taken seriously ill, ana thinking she was about to die, asked to see Freddie. He was taken to her a week ago, and since then she has recovered and refused to give up the little fellow. The father was finaily forced to get out a writ of habeas corpus to get the child back again, so as to bave him taken to the hospital for further treatment. —_— The Weaver's Strike Extending.

On the Seventh, All Omaha Saloons Must Close. FOR MR. BROATCH HAS SAID IT, His Honor Ordors Chief Seavey to See That the Law 1s Ene- forced and Gives Reasons. Must Ulose Sunday. The following ordor was issued this morn- ing by Mayor Broatch to Chief Seavey, and will readily explain itself: MAYOR'S OFFICE, ! Omaa, Neb. March 14, 1330, | Mr. W. 8. Seavey, Chicf of Police, City— Dear Sir:i—It has been my policy to bring about a gradual compliance with laws which were not enforced, and in a manner which would produce the least friction. In my troatment of the liquor element I havo been conservative and trusted to the good sense ot those enzaged in tnat business to promote their own interest by a cheerful and voluntary compliance with the laws. The propositions for an_amend- ment to the constitution either for proaibit- ing or high liconse will be submitted {or the suffrages of the people a year from next fall, T am personally in favor of high license and am well aware of the disadvantages to which the friends of measuro would_be put were the advocates of prohibition able to point to Omaha (as they would do and have done in other states) s @ glaring example of the ineficiency of the hizh license law. Because it is the law and is right, you will please notify all saloonkeepers to close their places of business hereafter on Sunday. Respectfull, W. J. Broatc, Mayor. Upon recéiving the above, Chief Scavey immediately issued an order to the following effect: That Sergeant Sigwart and Officer Pu- laskiare detailed to notify all saloon keopers and inn keepers that next Sunday and every subsequent Sunaay all saloons and hotel bars must be closea from 13 o'clock Saturday night until 4 o’clock Monday morning. All tho officers on the force are instructed to take the names and addresses of any persons not complying with this order, but are not to arrest offenders, The Mayor Interviewed. “I ntend to exact a conservative enforce- ment of the law and do not wish to do any- thing harsh,” said Mayor Broatch last night, but I feel that it is in the interest of saloon keepers generally to give a cheerful compli- ance to the law as it is laid down. My idea all through has been to educate the people to a gradual compliance with the requirements of the law, and 1 have endeavored to do this, although at times the work seemed difficult. Omaha has been held up as u model high license city, and I have received numberless letters as to how the system worked. I re- ceived one from Pennsylvania the other day, which credited a prohibition lecturer with saying that the only way saloonkeepers could raise their license was by running a gambling house attachment or by throwing their saloons open to prostitutes for whom they paid a monthly license of §10. Of course I at once wrote a contradiction, but that letter is only a sample of those I al- most daily receive. It is the samein N braska, where Omaha is held up as an ex- ample of the inefligiency of the high license law, just because the Sunday closing section of the act has not ' been enforced. I think that these cries should be stopped, and I think that the real interest of the city—and the liquor element as well—requires thatthe law as it now stands be complied with, so as not to leave a cudgel in the hands of tne pro- hipbitionists when the campaign opens in this state. From what I have seen, I thinka large majority of the Omaha saloon keepers, are law abiding, and willing to comply ~with what they know is law. A few of them may be guilty of technical offenses, and we have no desire to deal harshly with such, but there are some who wilfally and openly defy the law, and they can expect no .leniency. The law will be enforced.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Is made especially for coughs and colds and will cure a severe cold in less time than any other treatment.

PURE MILK. 2 Can Dr, Ralph Promise it to Consum- ers in this City? A reporter called on_city physician Ralph yesterday and enquired in what manner he intended to see that the city of Omaha should haye nothing but pure milk. He said that he would accomplish this by sumply compelling the milk inspectors to submit to him once every week, a report of their inspection, and that every suspicious case would be vigorously_ taken hold of and investigated. In case of the conviction of any milk man the very severest penalty of the law would be visited upon him. The doctor was then asked about the sys- tem of testing used by these so-called in- spectors, and replied that they used both the acetic acid and lachtometer systems, supple- menting these, not infrequently with a chemical analysis by some competent chemist. The hydrometer, as a_determinator of the purity or impurity of milk,it is a well known fact, bas long been proven ineffective if not utterly useless, while the use of acids is also unsatisfactory. The only true test, as a well-known physician remarked to Tue Beg man is by chemical analysis. There are 152 milk men in the city of Omaha, and some of them, hinted the doctor, are very “fly” in their devices to cheat Hickstem's lactometer, and he hadn’t any doubts but that four out of every five milkmen dealt not only in highly adulterated milk, but impure milk— milk that ought not to be used for any pur- pose. He added that Dr. Ralph could not be too strict in this matter, as in the hot summer months impure milk was the source of much serious sickness. “The system of detecting impure milk, as at present practiced in this city 15 a failure,” said a tax-payer to-day. “Dr. Ralph knows itis. He also knows that his boast about letting us have only pure milk is a sham. How can he prevent it? Milk cannot be tested now without a cost of about §20 for every chemical analysis. Dr. Ralph knows he can’t make such a test, and such being the case ought not_to be at the head of the board of health. The city physician ought to be a chemist, and then he would be able to determine for himself whether milk were pure o otherwise. ———— Complexion powder is an absolute ne- cessity of the refined toilet in this cli- mate.
